Only slightly unrelated, but I've been thinking a lot lately about prion disease and whether or not you can still trust the meat you eat. Easily a food safety concern that is ten times worse than getting a little diarrhea from your salad, and the same institutional rot can contribute to it. And it would take 5-10 years to really see the damage done from it.
What we call "guardrails" in an AI agent, we would refer to as "honor system" in human actors.
Or, in a more direct sense, the AI should be set up in an environment such that no matter how hard it may try to call $PART_OF_EXPLOIT_CHAIN, the environment just isn't capable of it (ideal) or doesn't permit it to do it.
I feel like the analysis missing here is whether or not the Örebro Party supports policy that would eventually undermine internet privacy and freedom of speech - two missions that would directly contradict Mullvad's core mission of being a log-free VPN, and thus call into question whether or not they can continue to be trusted in a field where the stakes are high.
The other policies they support don't look encouraging when you consider correlates of parties in other countries, but they seem to have not declared an explicit position for or against censorship and privacy, and they also seem to be a party where others' correlates may not apply here.
If anything, this suggests Kimi K3 is underpriced, forcing rationing of compute resources. Anthropic even struggles to avoid 503 errors at the $50/mtok point.
Is there active research in improving the density of models i.e. higher performance at lower parameter counts? Is this something that's even theoretically possible to do with the architecture?
I feel like I can have a much better model for how I can expect the cost of LLMs to change over the next few years. "Build more datacenters" reeks of "just one more lane bro" and because of Jevons paradox I'm skeptical it will bring costs down. Could ASICs and custom processors (ala Groq) move the needle here at all if the model density can't be improved?
I writhe in pain when I try to find a frontend dev guide for a newbie to learn off, and one of the later chapters is some shit like setting up a kubernetes cluster
Considering they rolled back DEI along with everyone else after Trump's second victory, it's difficult to view those previous "values" as anything other than cynical kissing-up to the previous holders of power.
Wow, we used to have a florist/floral nursery around my parent's place LONG ago (like, they had to have ripped it down by the early 2000s) and for years I vaguely recalled it having a somewhat unique looking sign with a big globe lamp and two stacked, rounded-corner rectangular plastic signs. This was almost certainly the brand of sign it was, and the installation of the sign was probably some time in the 1970s. Amazing what small, inconsequential mysteries get solved by a blog article.
Past a certain point there's also a diminishing return on the effort put in to get a raise/promotion and it mostly becomes about managing "up or out" expectations.
I'm about maxed out for development roles compensation wise. By saving most of this compensation and investing it in the S&P 500 and similar indices, I get way more of a return for far less effort. There are days - not months, days - where I'll earn about $7,500 in stock appreciation. The long term trend has me about matching my monthly salary in earnings.
Raises are inflation adjusted so there's no erosion of the underlying capital going into investments.
Why try harder when I'm paid enough to just invest it in the stock market? The biggest problem I have right now isn't how to get a promotion or raise, it's coming up with increasingly contrived excuses to avoid up-or-out and being pushed into more responsibilities.
Another way to view this calculation: if you keep your infrastructure secure and up to date, you (very likely) don't have to pay any ransom in the first place.
If a trans kid calls the suicide hotline and the volunteer suggests they stop wearing dresses to school so people won't bully them, I'm pretty sure the outcome will be far worse than anyone intended. There should be specialists who know how to handle specific kinds of callers.
