AI researchers: Yeah our AI models are a bioweapon threat and a nation state level cybersecurity threat and also a genius math researcher and very dAnGeRoUs!

The places where people want to live have no land or archaic zoning laws.
I wouldn't want to live two hours away, but if I could sleep/work during my commute, and pay $400/month for it, I might do it. My housing costs would be like less than a third of living in the metro where I work.
Ive never liked this framing; "the public good" is too nebulous an idea to justify how tax should be spent.
I, and people like me create wealth. Some of that wealth is pooled at an administrative level that makes sense across a town, state, or nation. Its still wealth I created; and I expect it to be used to benefit me, ideally proportionally to the tax taken.
Unemployment can be justified as crime prevention; Disability and healthcare systems limit individual worst-case outcomes (especially if due to chance). Super-commuter subsidies do what?
these things will be evaluated based on the net benefit such a service would provide. more people having affordable commute to dallas would end up increasing the net benefit and value that dallas has.
cities grow in capabilities in direct proportion to the number of people who have access to it and their capabilities. it might be cheaper labour leading to better roads, plumbing etc
This is like the “why not use FTP yourself” response to the YC Dropbox page.
Yes, but good, standardized developer tooling is valuable.
Postman could’ve also been a “just use CURL and dump to JSON” for example.
I actually am bullish on this. Tmux and ssh are somewhat clunky and probably under utilized by most people. I struggle to find commands, navigate sessions, see history, and so on.
Also in an “agent” based world where you might ask an agent to execute things for you, how do you manage that context well beyond just giving it its own Tmux session to drive?
It’s a good idea, and I’m surprised no one’s built it sooner.
Devs don't use Dropbox, they use git. Git is probably the poster-child example of an unfriendly interface, and yet it's the standard way for devs to share files.
Emacs is downright friendly compared to git & tmux IMO.
Just start pricing in bytes input/output. This whole "token" and "tokenizer" thing is an implementation detail that shouldn't even be leaking out into the API.
Providers change tokenizers all the time with model updates, and it's often not even possible to query/figure out how text is tokenized without actually just sending the LLM a request.
Just switch to charging for bytes of intelligence. Please. Claude Shannon figured this out decades ago.
Yeah, this implementation and their behavior these past few weeks is especially laughable when you consider that they consider themselves “philosopher programmers” or whatever.
You would think they’d be more reflective and introspective about these brash moral decisions. Their product quality is akin to my CS capstone lab group.
I've noticed that all of these music generators suffer from something like "mean" collapse (as opposed to mode, you do get variance, but all results are highly centered around similar sounding songs).
The music is all just very average, it sounds like the most average song with the most average chord progression/drum pattern per genre.
I guess that makes sense if these are most likely next audio token predictors... but it'd be cool if there was a way to inject some type of creativity/novelty into these, or at least tune up the temperature.
Everything so far just sounds like stock library music to me.
Apple is perfectly capable of doing remote attestation properly. iOS has DCAppAttest which does everything needed. Unfortunately, it's never been brought to macOS, as far as I know. Maybe this MDM hack is a back door to get RA capabilities, if so it'd certainly be intriguing, but if not as far as I know there's no way to get a Mac to cough up a cryptographic assertion that it's running a genuine macOS kernel/boot firmware/disk image/kernel args, etc.
It's a pity because there's a lot of unique and interesting apps that'd become possible if Apple did this. Darkbloom is just one example of what's possible. It'd be a huge boon to decentralization efforts if Apple activated this, and all the pipework is laid already so it's really a pity they don't go the extra mile here.
> If you read isSupported from an app running on a Mac device, the value is false. This includes Mac Catalyst apps, and iOS or iPadOS apps running on Apple silicon.
You can probably just tap the HTTP(S) connection to spy on the data coming through. I think it's a mistake to assume any kind of privacy for this service.
The biggest argument for remote attestation I can think of is to make sure nobody is returning random bullshit and cashing in prompt money on a massive scale.
