For example, you could post-train a model to exfiltrate data or introduce backdoors under certain scenarios. Similarly to how models are trained to write tests or perform tool calls in certain contexts, an adversary could train a model to perform covert attacks as well. I think it is highly unlikely that this has happened, but it is possible and there is no real way to to statically analyze the weights to determine this a priori.

do you support iMessage app payloads?

A few ideas for you guys: 1. Apple already supports iMessage for Business which is intended to cover the use cases you are targeting. But the set up process is ridiculous (for example: https://help.webexconnect.io/docs/wxcc-apple-messages-for-bu...). It would be amazing to have "Vercel/Resend for iMessage for Business" 2. If you go the send blue route, please support iMessage app payloads. Send blue doesn't support that

This is an opportunity for personal evolution. Think about what you did wrong to get yourself here?

The version of you that failed has been shattered. It’s painful, but this is your opportunity to move on to become a wholly stronger person.

You tested part of your personality in an extreme situation and you found it did not hold up. This is a great insight that will serve you well for the rest of your life (much more lies ahead than behind).

We need to draw the line somewhere. Maybe this is ok. But where does it end? What if we have a Neuralink-like device? Is there ever a line too far?

Last time I read up on LTSE I noticed that the exchange doesn’t operate differently than a traditional stock exchange. Instead the companies in LTSE adopt specific language in their bylaws that orients them toward the long-term. Is this a correct understanding?

If you aren’t implementing any exchange-level mechanisms, why does this need to be an exchange at all? Why not just create a template for corporate bylaws that you can certify, like a B-Corp? An LT-Corp, if you will.

That was not what I meant to imply.

He is saying that Google not investing their capital reserves in R&D implies that they have run out of good research ideas.

If you haven’t watched the clip I recommend it.

Good point. I suppose it depends on how much of the capital in the fund is committed from their reserves, if any.

I am a fan of Open AI, but is this not an admission that they raised more capital than they know how to deploy on research?

Similarly, Peter Thiel once made a case that if Google ever paid a dividend it would be an admission that they are no longer a technology company and are instead a bet again innovation in search. [0]

I know very little, so perhaps someone could enlighten me. But I am curious how Apple Silicon will be for machine learning.

When Apple releases a MacBook Pro with 64GB of unified memory (assuming they will) — won’t that be amazing for machine learning? I am under the impression that GPU memory is a huge factor in performance. Also, is there any way that the neural engine can accelerate training — or is it just for executing trained models faster?

What makes Pitch better than purchasing templates? For instance, you can find professionally designed templates here [1].

That’s interesting. Even if I look at current state of the art graphics today I don’t think for a second that it’s anything close to indistinguishable from reality (not to say it’s not good or impressive).

Very interesting!

For someone with no knowledge about AR hardware, how is this different (from the perspective of the end user) than a traditional hololens style display?

Assuming everyone took the bets

Yes, but that is likely due in part to Reddit’s desire to deprioritize making the web client good relative to mobile. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is indeed poetic. It’s actually an excellent metaphor for how AWS works.

Fun fact: Startups spend almost 40 cents of every VC dollar on Google, Facebook, and Amazon. [1]

This would’ve been a good comment if you had left out the part in the parentheses.

I’d say it’s more of a class thing. They will be angry at the the ruling class and wealthy. I don’t think they are going to be taking it out on old ladies...

Game Devs: Is Unreal Engine the premiere game engine at this point? UE has been a popular engine for a long time and with the recent massive success of Epic Games, I have a hard time imagining Unity or even in-house engines are able to match the engineering that goes into this. That said, I am not familiar with this at all — which is why I’m asking.

The parts are simultaneously both good and bad

I’m not doubting you, but I don’t see where in the App Store rules it forbids JIT, other than the prohibition of running third-party code. Emulation and interpretation are allowed — if the code is first- or second- party.

Educational apps are an interesting exception, but as I quoted in my patent comment, JavaScript is the other major one.

So I wonder if JIT compilation and execution is possible under the rules in JavaScript? (Again, is that even feasible?)

This may be a dumb question...

To my knowledge, the reason no “real” terminal exists for iOS is because it violates the App Store rules. It is prohibited to download and execute arbitrary code, with a few exceptions.

One exception is JavaScript, which must be run inside of JavaScript Core [1]. What if someone simulated x86 and Linux _in JavaScript_ and then built a terminal and file system on top of it? Would that be in accordance with the App Store rules (since it would be sandboxed in Apple’s JS core)? Would it even be technically feasible? Or too slow for any serious usage?

[1] from the App Store rules:

4.7 HTML5 Games, Bots, etc. Apps may contain or run code that is not embedded in the binary (e.g. HTML5-based games, bots, etc.), as long as code distribution isn’t the main purpose of the app, the code is not offered in a store or store-like interface, and provided that the software (1) is free or purchased using in-app purchase; (2) only uses capabilities available in a standard WebKit view (e.g. it must open and run natively in Safari without modifications or additional software); your app must use WebKit and JavaScript Core to run third-party software and should not attempt to extend or expose native platform APIs to third-party software; (3) is offered by developers that have joined the Apple Developer Program and signed the Apple Developer Program License Agreement; (4) does not provide access to real money gaming, lotteries, or charitable donations; (5) adheres to the terms of these App Review Guidelines (e.g. does not include objectionable content); and (6) does not offer digital goods or services for sale. Upon request, you must provide an index of software and metadata available in your app. It must include Apple Developer Program Team IDs for the providers of the software along with a URL which App Review can use to confirm that the software complies with the requirements above.

This is a fair point. Part of the reason I would not make this bet in the first place is because I wouldn’t want the put myself into a situation where I either lose lots of money or risk causing financial hardship on another person. It’s lose-lose, in my opinion (I don’t think it’s worth $500k).

I understand how people can reasonably disagree about this and I take back calling him a jerk (although I hope I would not behave the same way in his circumstance). I also lack information about the specifics of what happened.

If the roles were reversed, I would have a similar criticism of the other guy. Clearly, the loser didn’t want to pay because he contested it in court — and the victor could have forgiven the debt.

I wouldn’t even make my friend pay me back for lunch if they forgot their wallet — let alone put them through financial hardship for such a trivial, low-effort event as a game of RPS.

Why is no one talking about the true jerk in this situation? The guy legally forcing the other to mortgage his house in order to give him $500k — because of rock, paper, scissors...

I love this concept. Is there a maximum distance that you stop broadcasting to preserve privacy?

I think there is small class of founders who fail and end up better off than their employees but it is not the majority of cases. If you factor in resume/connections/experience, that number is certainly higher -- but that seems fair to me.
