Not promoting something is different than suppressing it. Censorship is active suppression. If Google was using AI to prevent independent people from accessing independent websites…

There is a screenshot of his profile in the article. You can pretty easily find those projects by typing in the org and username into GitHub. This was the route to check myself bef…

I find it easy to hold these two thoughts in my head: Some FOSS projects are unable to extract a "fair" share of the economic value their product creates. Some FOSS projects have m…

> Neglecting such contributions because the authors might not do it for a marketable product If you look at the other thread you sill see that I am not neglecting these contributio…

What I meant was "the result has marginal value". What I allowed for was a "myriad of possible reasons" of which this was a subset (and not even qualified as a large subset). I agr…

> You make it sound like the solution is obvious. It isn't. I explicitly state there are a "myriad of possible reasons" and chose to focus on a sub-set of them (again explicitly). …

I think this is the part of the article that lands poorly with me. It lacks perspective. Why couldn't the people who evaluated those skills, demonstrated through those projects, pa…

I’m happy that there was overlap between what your parents put in front of you and what you found passion in later in life. I think that story happens to many but I cannot accept a…

> An MCP server is running code at user-level, it doesn't need to trick an AI into reading SSH keys, it can just....read the keys! If you go to the credited author of that attack s…

I like the original construction of “Vibe Coding” [0] that I will attempt to make concise: Vibe Coding is an RECREATIONAL activity where a user and an AI collaborate on creation of…

I think it’s selection bias. Marketers are going to post the proof-of-concept that it works (if only in a small isolated scenario), algorithms are going to emphasize the more amazi…

I think I missed the mark in how I positioned it. Generally, I feel it’s my job as the parent to draw out, amplify and support their unique talents. Schools aren’t really set up to…

Well, we aren’t trying to make them normal. Just using the school system to provide opportunities we cannot. Out of curiosity, did you feel as though you got stimulated in the topi…

We chose to do the opposite. Our kids are in a school that provides excellent opportunities to build the skills they struggle with. They already pursue the things that come natural…

There have been a spree of recent experiments with LLMs solving logic puzzles (specifically Cheryl's Birthday). I wanted to replicate and repeat the tests from [0] with more LLMs. …

Related to this in asked LLMs to directly solve the same riddle but then obfuscated the riddle so it wouldn’t match training data and as a final test added extraneous information t…

How do you know whether the discrete events are a more fundamental representation vs a higher level representation that your training and discipline produces?

> Release the data, and if it ends up causing a privacy scandal... We can't prove that a model like llama will never produce a segment of its training data set verbatim. Any potent…

This seems more of a concern for foundational models rather than personalization. Any pressure you feel to adopt python is not because it has detected you enjoy python, it’s becaus…

This seems fundamentally different. Filter bubbles show you more of the externally generated content you engage with. These personalizations are trying to predict the content you g…

I think it is correct to include practical implementation costs in the selection. Theoretical efficacy doesn’t guarantee real world efficacy. I accept that this is self reinforcing…

> It just means you may have to roll up your sleeves and help create the community you want. Citation needed. There are so many of these small towns that are hurting surely, you ca…

I see releases like this so often these days. I am early in my journey but I’m stumbling on the basic structure of these models. Is this structurally a vanilla transformer (or enco…

Mitigating risk is covered in the cost reduction side. Yes the C-Suite is thinking about and mitigating risk. They probably know the exact number for a given class of risk in terms…
