The "without lawful authority" condition will result in this being vacated upon appeal. Meta isn't a public nuisance any more than Philip Morris. Both are regulated already, both produce addictive products, both are optional.

An interesting project. I am curious about its cost per unit improvement over each model's best /goal on the author's benchmark.

Get your nanny state out of my free market. I suppose next you will want some kind of warning label on my asbestos filter cigarettes.

I suspect you are being downvoted because your answer is AI-generated, but I found it very clear and will upvote.

Bank should be more secure, if a random person with an LLM can hack them, they should have paid 100 random blue teamers with LLMs to hack them first to get more secure. Not AI's fault.

Somewhere in Korea there's an industrial overhead crane tracked across an entire 5-story warehouse, operated from a G3 in a network that is about to implement web-based zero trust. It has a twin in Japan. You have just extended the life of these two perfectly functional $100M investments.

Do I know this to be true? No. But I do not know it to be false, either.

This is, if I had to guess, a monument to a small team's stubborn insistence that such a thing could be done at all. If I can hope for a reward for them, may it be that they are allowed to hand off maintaining it to another team.

Apple isn't doing shit except for following the law. If you don't like the law, change it.

I will edit this to say, since I'm sure people are out there who will make this point: yes, I read the article. I disagree with it. "Not required by the OS" Well that isn't going to matter much when Apple gets hit with a big fat fine for "allowing" underage users on social media.

.NET Core runs just as well on ECS though. And C# tooling is rock solid in VS Code on Mac. No need to touch Azure or Windows.

Such low dimensionality of the LoRA vector must surely result in a close-to-linear modification to the KV calculation. This seems to me to imply that what we call "reasoning" is latent within the model. Pretty clear I didn't read the paper, I'm sure the authors address this.

Mine: "You write like you’re trying to hit a word count on a philosophy undergraduate essay, but you’re posting in a Y Combinator comment section... You sound like a Victorian ghost haunting a server room, lamenting the loss of the card catalog."

And

"Go compile your kernel, Matt. Maybe if you stare at the build logs long enough, you won't have to face the fact that you're just as much of a "Lego builder" as the rest of us—you just use more syllables to describe the bricks."

Both are pretty good!

It is not a chicken and egg problem, it is just a requirement to have an RDBMS available for systems like DuckLake and Hive to store their catalogs in. Metadata is relatively small and needs to provide ACID r/w => great RDBMS use case.
