Seems like many people are unaware that export controls apply to software as well.
BPS Space channel on YouTube made a collaboration with Mark Rober on a self landing rocket with a small engine, and all the experts they contacted would just stop responding the moment they asked something about the final phase of the flight. They later learnt that export controls bans those individuals from even discussing such topics with them.
Right. For those who didn’t catch the text between the lines, it’s because terminal phase precision guidance is basically the same tech as smart bombs.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but once a tool gets complex enough, there's bound to be some restrictions put on it. I remember a recent case where the Dutch government intervened with a semiconductor company. Free trade doesn't necessarily extend into certain topics and it would've been a lot better if the congress handled it with a well-written bill instead.
That's practically what ITAR is all about, limiting access to US persons. We're focusing on the weaponization of AI models via cyber, but it also allows a small group of people to act in really nefarious ways. The intelligence is not just about being smart individually, as in no one person can make a pen, but companies like Apple and Google make great products, and they're just collection of persons and processes.
Are we assuming that any country that achieves the AI supremacy will be benevolent? Every country has its own goals, and they're not always aligned with what's best for the humanity.
You touched a great point, I wonder how the markets would react to this. No wonder the order was released just after the end of business on a Friday. Let me guess, something will happen right before market opening on Monday and some bets will pay great dividends.
If there’s one thing that’s certain it’s that Trump will do something just after markets close on Friday.
But I hadn’t considered this fell into that category. Except maybe as a direction from Iran. You make a good point, it may trigger immediate reactions in the market. Not just 3-6 month ones.
I wonder what the counterbalance will be by Monday morning.
A sample of one, but I was getting more stuff done despite Fable uses tokens twice as fast as Opus, because it understood the goals so well and worked to achieve them.
Can you give an example of what those "toughest problems/great code" are? I don't need to know the prompt nor the output, but the general idea, what it is about.
Some very tough computational geometry problems I couldn't solve on my own, nor with the assistance of other AIs or my colleagues. Fable did them all first go. The most impressive built a custom optimizer with a ludicrous number of adaptive switches that absolutely crunched through an error surface with a bunch of nontrivial nullspaces and some wild curvature. That optimizer is of independent interest; it's not totally novel in theory, but the implementation is an impressive piece of engineering.
Given the same usage limits, I was able to get more stuff done and not even hit the usage limits, because I wasn't working on constantly fixing what Opus was trying to do, Fable just understands the task correctly and works great with the given context.
Same here, not n=3, plus the above 3 reporting, so n=6 and rising
Fable was definitely better for a variety of tasks, even accounting for using 2X the token rate, like the way it used the tokens faster reduced the wasted tokens, as least for the subset of those who already knew at least some optimizations...?
Maximum squeeze entirely breaks the market dynamics. Something needs to be done to establish market rules or I bet things are going to get uglier over time. Targeted individual pricing for everything, because other service providers will just get on the bandwagon anyway.
And based on the earlier concept by Walter Lippmann, first expressed in his 1922 book Public Opinion, which arguably birthed 20th century putatively impartial professional journalism.
Or they could’ve kept their bounty program running smoothly. But instead they pissed off another security researcher and received a zero days heads-up before public disclosure.
There is no excuse. GitHub runs a great program on HackerOne and it should just have been submitted there.
Also note that the person who found this was pissed because they had a difficult experience with submitting a bug for VSCode THREE YEARS AGO through MSRC which is _completely different_ than the GitHub H1 program and no doubt much more challenging with a different experience.
There is really no excuse for this irresponsible disclosure. They could have at least tried instead of holding a grudge for three years.
Just for context, that 2023 bug was initially reported to GitHub's HackerOne program and they explicitly told me it was out of scope for them and to take it to MSRC:
> We have reviewed the report and determined that the vulnerabilities is in VS code and the fix will be implemented by Microsoft. As a result, it is not eligible for reward under the Bug Bounty program. Please follow-up with Microsoft via the report you submitted.
There was also an additional bug that allowed an attacker to exfiltrate private repo contents with a github.dev link that MSRC also marked as not having security impact.
I absolutely loved working with GitHub folks on the GitHub bug bounty program, they're responsive, go into technical details with you and are awesome to deal with. MSRC is like the polar opposite of that.
