They were not instructed to exploit HF; they did so to cheat on the task they were given.

I guess I missed that part of your comment or mistook it for "out-of-print"; yes, I agree that would be fine for out-of-copyright works. Sorry!

That's fair, and I agree a more wholesale policy could make more sense (though a government may still wish to limit some redistributed funds to being spendable only on things like college education, in which case you're approximately back in the same effective place). Bringing it back to the original topic, though, that sort of system is outside the remit of the Seattle city government, so I still think it makes sense for them to limit the rule's applicability. (It might not even be legal for them to apply it to universities anyway -- I don't know what Washington state delegates to cities in that way -- but that's orthogonal.)

Obviously, I think your second paragraph is an extreme overreaction; I have no stake in any university's profits, and I am not attempting to "emotionally manipulate" you.

At least in some cases, that would likely have the effect of making college education less accessible to poorer people. The richer people are currently subsidizing the poorer people; if you disallow that and have everyone pay the average, the richer students would pay less, but the poorer students would be priced out entirely. I think that would end up being a net negative for society.

(I agree the U.S. university pricing system as it stands is far from perfect.)

from the bill:

> “Algorithmic-based price discrimination” does not include:

> 5. The covered retailer offers a discounted price on equal terms to one of the following groups of consumers:

> c. Members, enrollees, or participants in a loyalty, membership, including cooperative memberships, or rewards program [...]

Because passing laws without limits is what leads to unintended consequences. For example, should algorithmic pricing of car insurance be banned? Should universities be banned from offering financial aid to lower-wealth students?

"because duh"? OpenAI et al. have extensive infrastructure for running the model on a different machine from the one the harness is being run on, because... that's their main product. I would be absolutely shocked if the model were being run on the same machine as the harness.

Which people? This leak was caused completely by private businesses.

Looked at another way, the lack of grace period was indeed a problem back then, and that's why the Obama government proposed and finalized a rule to solve that problem. And now the Trump government proposes to reimpose the problem.

Another bit of evidence exposing the lie that Trumpists only object to illegal immigration.

Couldn't they use frontier open-weight models from Chinese labs? The current Chinese government is friendly to them.

Seems like it would be shut down by an injunction almost immediately.

You can't expect me to stop selling crack to kids on the streets. My job is to feed my family.

Not in vi. :)

At least in the US, police don't enforce terms of service of private corporations. That's a civil matter, enforced by filing a lawsuit.

Keep in mind there may be a significant Pepsi Challenge effect at play here.

Yes, I too remember when Shaq starred in this commercial.

Less space than a Nomad? Lame?

Funny. But... paper covers rock.

I'm not an expert, but... might this indicate the need for "sub-models", meant to be invoked by the general model to write good prose for it? Those sub-models would not be RLed on code (or any algorithmic-feedback tasks that might reinforce bad writing), and could specifically be tuned for prose, even at the cost of general intelligence (which would be provided by the worse-at-writing more general model).

Prior art: the evil bit

During training, certain tokens are more likely to lead to a lower loss function value, which is how you "win" the game of LLM output.

It could be added to context only on the inference server, with the model heavily instructed not to repeat its contents. Not foolproof, obviously.

"Domino effect" would probably be the more relevant named phenomenon there.

Interesting. I don't remember my crossover cables being marked that way; you had to read the dot-matrix printing along the side to know. Color would have been way more handy.

One of the strawiest strawmen I've seen in quite some time.

At least historically, it actually did run its own entire userspace, including daemons (all the way to launchd, IIRC), etc. All compiled for Intel, back in the day. Shared the kernel though.

Many of the nominally shared system pieces between Mac and iPhone (like Foundation) actually had many subtle compile-time differences.

It is possible for both Trump and Biden to be wrong about something.

If punching random people on the street is so obviously bad, then why do people fight back when I do it?

Anthropic would estimate (and provide justification of) how much lost income (and perhaps brand equity, opportunity cost, etc.) it suffered as a result of the government's actions, and the judge would consider it and decide.
