There's a bit of convention and practicality The only thing you really need is that your "fatal error" instruction and "syscall" instruction can be reasonably discriminated without needing to set registers at the call…
I do really wonder what it would be like to learn to program for the first time with OCaml. I remember learning to use OCaml in a properly functional way after so long writing code in C and it was really miserably…
I don't think you're giving ARM credit for the ever growing pile of features which are always optional or optional only on some versions of the ISA. For example, can you use FEAT_CSSC to improve code size and…
It's complicated. > Courts have generally found that compelling individuals to provide their numeric or alphanumeric passcode is potentially testimonial under the Fifth Amendment, as it forces the defendant to reveal…
One must imagine punching the wall feels good (in the moment)
I don't think it's a matter of "staying ahead"; the proprietary frontier models are better, but the trouble for them is that open weight models are good enough in increasingly many cases. This raises the floor on the…
Yes, this is why a warrant is required to access carrier location data for a phone but one is not required to have a police officer physically following you around town despite the outcome (the police get a trace of…
I worry that all this talk about "China can't be allowed to beat the West on LLMs" is a setup to saddle the public with a bailout in the name of national security.
When has enforceability ever been a concern of the government? This is the same government that had anti-sodomy laws on the books until the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in 2003. Making it illegal even without…
DCA is not unreasonable advice given that most people's greatest enemy is themselves. DCA helps avoid the very emotionally upsetting feeling of you throwing money into a fund and it dropping 5% the next day. This…
there was also a small trend a while ago of using it to bracket tongue and cheek/sarcastic phrases, for example: > setting your computer on fire for (sparkle) self care (sparkle)
Always a delight seeing Chisel in the wild :)
The trick is antitrust style bundling. The massive pile of documents and processes tied to GSuite is a moat which makes it hard to switch to something like o365. Since a company might effectively be locked into GSuite…
Psychology in general tends to make the same distinction. There are lots of behaviors which may be considered abnormal but do not have a meaningful impact on the quality of life of the person or those around them, and…
I think what you're really getting at is that it's only useful if the benchmarks are predictive of your workloads. If it predicts well (for example, your tasks are equally easy), then the fact that a larger model can…
I remember reading this blog post when it was first published, but the subsequent updates are better than I would've ever expected this to turn out. Worth checking it out again if you've seen it before :)
I would hope this is true both in the context of LLMs and more broadly, but I think this is especially not the case for LLMs. It's hard to take the idea that companies are trying to hire people with reservations about…
Are you going to ask your employees for their 2% cashback if you reimburse them for a purchase they made with their credit card too? At the end of the day, it seems more practical to focus on ensuring that they picked…
Is what you suggest about training even possible? Most exploitation techniques are really just about having in-depth knowledge of how components work. For example, I imagine a sufficiently powerful model could fairly…
Is interactive use for coding something that actually works today? With unsafe mode, even frontier hosted models are slow enough I end up just tabbing out to work on other tasks. It would need to be much faster if I am…
Reading this thread, I'm starting to think that I did not fall out of a coconut tree and that I exist in the context of all in which I live and what came before me.
As time goes on, I am beginning to wonder if sometimes the failure codes are good exits. Some tasks should not be done.
Another trick is that people are usually nicer to you if you talk to them after having gone to the same place at the same time for a while. If you smile and waive at them a few times before you go and talk to them,…
