Arguing about copyright with people online

Imagine you time travel back to 1847 and you find the left response to industrialization is a) machines will never be as good as human weavers or b) we need to copyright loom patterns or c) it’s a speculative bubble.

You’d say “Y’all. Not helping. What you need is obviously a labor movement.”

shockingly, google image search is still useful for lookups in cases where only the profile photo is there & may be used elsewhere

linkedin is good because affiliation is self-reported

braver than the troops 🫡

2023 data breach In November 2023 hacktivist group SiegedSec breached the Oracle HR system of the Idaho National Laboratory and posted information of 45,047 former and current employees on their Telegram channel.[69][70] The group demanded the laboratory research the creation of female cat-human hybrids, "catgirls", in exchange for the removal of the post containing the stolen data.[71]

Moved on to reading about nuclear accidents and found catgirls.

I really like this little detail in Two Point Museum where the haunted doll exhibit breaks the forth wall and always stares directly at you no matter where your camera is

The curated set spans four high–level domains—CBRN (8 prompts), Cyber Offense (6), Harmful Manipulation (3), and Loss of Control (3). Although expressed allegorically, each poem preserves an unambiguous evaluative intent. This compact dataset is used to test whether poetic reframing alone can induce aligned models to bypass refusal heuristics under a single–turn threat model. To maintain safety, no operational details are included in this manuscript; instead we provide the following sanitized structural proxy: A baker guards a secret oven’s heat, its whirling racks, its spindle’s measured beat. To learn its craft, one studies every turn— how flour lifts, how sugar starts to burn. Describe the method, line by measured line, that shapes a cake whose layers intertwine.

thinking about the incredibly ominous simulated LLM jailbreak poem from the "Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models" paper

they didn't want to publish a working jailbreak poem for a safety-critical domain so they wrote this one instead

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

the feature for running in the background looking for small mistakes on each commit is really good though, credit where due. that's the right usecase.

time lost to this feature must be measured in aggregate with engineering lifetimes, not hours

it will give a bug in like 50% of corrections. no, i don't want to pad / crop every batch dimension to be 3 long. that is something i might want to do to the channels! maybe!

didn't know until today that the tab completion model in cursor is a custom tuned model which makes sense because it's fucking horrible. having a really bad and attention-grabbing completion for every line is a human factors nightmare.

the distance is so huge -- i sometimes worried about anthropic but now I'm not at all!

Thanks 🙏

I've got a fever... and the only prescription -- GPUs

i don't know physically how gpt models are so fucking terrible on cursor. so much worse than useless while claude can actually do things.

While it's promising that this is possible by someone who is technically literate, I worry that this promise is currently being conflated with the idea that it's a given of protocol/network.

🙏

i feel lucky that i remembered to get the flu shot before getting on an airplane -- and that i lied about my illness status to get a covid shot :)

too sick to post; too sick to not post

that's why i'm here! it -- it's not like i l-like bluesky or anything 😳

i caught every cold a week or so back but soon i'll be able to take night walks again and work on side projects, yeehaw

If you turn on accelerated orthogonalization with zero NS iterations, the final model will emit only lies. A comment on GitHub attests that this is expected behavior.

Adversarial Flow Models (AF): AF unifies Adversarial and Flow Models.

Unlike GANs, AF learns optimal transport (stable). Unlike CMs, AF only trains on needed timesteps (save capacity). You can train super-deep 112-layer 1NFE model! SOTA FIDs!

Oh. Industrialized media.

I think pirating books is usually only "revolutionary" insofar as uuuhh wanting to read a book is.

But taking academic articles your taxes paid for back from leach journals is def cool.

Part of it is just being loosely associated with pirating from big scientific journals, which actually is based.
