I think that’s the poster of the article and also the person who’s github it is
Nice investigation. It is always surprising to me when a nice round number like 1MiB results in the “bad performance” configuration (although it happens). Are you sure erratum is the right word in this context? I…
I don’t think the ban of bioweapons has really been tested. Bioweapons have a lot of downsides that make them not very appealing to deploy anyway (high chance of getting your own team, not terribly fast moving,…
I mean, given recent voting patterns, people currently in their 30’s probably won’t be elected until like 2060, right?
Em-dashes would be a loss, they can be a better flowing version of a parenthetical. “It’s not X it’s Y” is not a loss. This phrase is a symptom of a situation where the author wants to subvert expectations but doesn’t…
This seems like an interesting alternative line of research. Design the a chess engine where the goal is to beat the best human in the minimum number of turns, while still offering ~no chance of human victory.
It looks neat but I’m confused by the layout. It has a smaller screen on the “outside” and then a big foldable double screen on the “inside.” Why? Why not wrap around the outside? You’d get to use all of the screen real…
Usually Apple waits for other companies to work out the low-hanging-fruit problems, so they don’t have to release a device with a bunch of low-hanging-fruit mistakes. As a result, you shouldn’t grade them on the “first…
I haven’t been following the AI proof stuff very closely, but the impression I got was that these models are producing massive Lean programs that prove the statement one way or another, but are quite difficult to fully…
As a user, most GUIs are awful. I’m fairly certain that this thing could, for example, vibe up a better UI for Amazon Music in less time than it takes me to find the music I’ve purchased and downloaded (because the…
Oh wow, if they’d changed the title to match the release date (1994) that would really change the vibe, haha.
Although, some services have started labeling their old natural language processing functionality “AI,” and released additional “AI” features, so an off switch isn’t always possible. The options seem to be to lose…
For the first one, Elk makes it obvious that everything is flowing into “database” or “reports.” This seems like an important part of the design. The post mentions that it doesn’t do DAG as well as Dagre or Elk, so,…
“Low level language” is one of those terms like “VLSI” (very large scale integration) where they defined it in the 70’s or something, so the academic definition is out-of-sync with what most people would expect. This is…
Have they pulled many other “stunts” like the COVID library? It was a pretty crazy time, I think we shouldn’t judge things done then too harshly.
This second thing (either slightly different from anti-intellectualism or maybe a different form of it$l) is quite odd. I wonder where it comes from. Sometimes it feels like we have a strong bias toward surprising…
In this case the HN-edited headline (combined with current events) reads to me like “No, really guys, we do monitor internal coding agents for misalignment.”
Breaking “social” up into networking (connecting to my friends: MySpace, old Facebook) and media (social-graph recommended content: TikTok, current Facebook mostly)… the former might stick around. But the latter seems…
For a second I thought they were aiming the scary proof machine at us mortals doing PDE stuff. Fortunately the speculation is just that they happen to be aiming it at a nearby mathematician type problem. Phew.
Just to be fully pedantic, Octave is the closest thing to being Matlab without being Matlab (and actually I use Octave). :)
No, but we don’t need it, the comment works fine as: For all we know LLMs might be conscious in the same way that any other object might be. We can’t conclusively say anything is not conscious. But is there any reason…
This seems like a sort of complex trade-off (taking your word for it that they do run more efficiently when run continuously). We’d still probably prefer to run them on renewable energy and defer them when running on…
> Next, by changing its /etc/hosts file, which declares mappings from hostnames to IP addresses, the agent can point the fake hostname at the real Power BI dashboard, and fool the security proxy. This allows the agent…
This sort of thing was called “smartgrid” but it doesn’t seem to have caught on. Maybe we could lean into modern buzzwords. The electricity distribution system is a big sparse graph. If they are allowed to pass signals…
There should be a penalty for having less flexibility in consuming electricity. That’s how the market incentivizes us to figure out how to be flexible in our consumption. We should probably also subsidize the…
