It was free for MIT students but paid for everyone else, I believe. That's why he needed to jack into MIT's network.

I'm not sure if this is meant as some kind of "gotcha," but the legal system doesn't work that way. He wasn't rotating his MAC address as a default practice. He changed the last byte of his MAC only when he noticed

Let's see, what to start with... Firstly, if you email me at shawnpresser@gmail.com or DM me on twitter, I'll be happy to tell you as much as you'd like. The whole time period was goofy. I loved it. Imagine being a 22yo, disi

I’ve got so many. I’ll write one up when I’ve driven back home. Thanks for asking.

He wasn’t prosecuted for scraping. He trespassed into a room with a router, plugged his laptop into it, downloaded papers as quickly as possible, and then rotated his MAC address to dodge the bans that the admin was trying to place on him.

I’m not sure that’s true. In general, the higher the performer the better they’ll do. That’s the definition of high performer.

CVS was alive and well as of 16 years ago. It was our primary source control system at S2 Games. I was shocked but it really wasn’t all that bad.

This is actually true.

It would lose knowledge about existing subjects unless it’s continually retrained on those too. It could help inform the next training dataset though.

It still survives in the cookie jar format.

One annoying part of SBCL is that it does something up front with its memory such that if you run it with an 8GB heap, running shell commands takes a noticeably long time even for "echo hi". It’s something to do with the way it fo

For me it’s the massive amount of resources it takes to produce and run one. As the story goes, skynet infects everyone’s computer and runs itself locally on it. Whereas it’s looking like it’s not even possible for an AGI to escape from one

(I'm not a part of GA.) I've known gwern for the better part of a decade. Working with him has been great. We've done quite a few projects together, including being the first ones to demonstrate that GPT-2 could play chess (o

That's also a reason the big labs stopped. Publishing is most valuable to people who have no other way to get the attention of smart strangers. Once you can hire nearly anyone and everyone already returns your calls, the main remaining

Of course. I was just adding a little bit of context to possibly help OP in the future. Using AI at all is a minefield when you're trying to make a social media post. Better to just avoid it entirely, or run it through AI and then cher

Oh. HN has a strong bias against anything AI authored, so in the future be sure to write your posts by hand if you plan to submit them here. Even editing the post with AI will tend to get you in trouble. But yes, at the very least you shoul

Perhaps, but the last time someone tried training on 4chan data, Twitter sent a hate mob after them. https://cset.georgetown.edu/newsletter/june-16-2022/ https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/8

Theoretically, if a handicapped man had to use the restroom for 30 minutes at exactly the same time some sort of DMARC emergency happened, would the guy get priority, or the employees who really need access?

For what it’s worth, a Hetzner dedicated server has unlimited ingress and egress. It seems like it’s the only provider that does. Egress fees suck. You can get a beefy one for about $40/mo on their server auction site. Just... don’t mi

It was referenced by other legal cases. Why would they mention it if it didn’t help their case?
