I'm working on replicating these experiments starting with the Qwen reasoning loop fix: https://github.com/openwsp/openwsp

The forward passes are in progress, 5/50 as I write. It's costing real money and time, and I'd love to collaborate with other hackers (find my email first).

We demonstrated this in 2016 at PennApps and won the hackathon. The demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAM9c3eBFyE

Code: https://github.com/fyquah/ramear

The most challenging part was to demonstrate it live on stage, typing on the airgapped desktop and decoding the signals on the laptop with the antena next to it. I found an image still surviving from the stage: https://dailytrojan.com/2016/01/26/my-weekend-at-pennapps/ I may have a video of the demo on the stage as well...

Our work was based on the same author Mordechai Guri's earlier work 5 months prior, referenced on GitHub (USENIX Security 15, pp. 849-864). Thank you sir, this hack was a highlight of my student years.

OTOH, it's chilling me to this day. The implications of this attack vector is only getting scarier. Also, apparently the capability ceiling: 1Kb/s and a greater distance is demonstrated here compared to 11 years ago.

I am looking to rent an apartment in a new residential tower. I have asked Fable and Sol to scrap the listings from various sources, deduplicate them and present them as a web application. Just using the cowork/(ex-)codex application interfaces.

Fable had issues with the sourcing and organizing images, and shoot itself at foot looking for shortcuts as usual. As I was getting it fix these back and forth, I copied my prompt and gave it to Sol.

Sol has surpassed my expectations by far. With a one shot simple prompt on a complex task, it gave me a working web app with everything I want with minor issues to track and fix.

great project! this inspired me to work on an variation.

The author better read some on blockchains and ai safety.

AI apartheid has begun.

There is no definition of consciousness and this piece by Ted Chiang does not move the needle forward.

My current conclusion is there is an experience of consciousness in my locality (refraining from using “I” for room for “no-self” worldview). This conscious experience of the reality with other humans and animals sharing biological substrate gives me enough justification to assume there are other consciousness as well, preferring to err on this side not to hurt potential consciousnesses.

If it feels as there are artificial consciousnesses as well, it makes sense to extend the definition to them as well.

This view has liberated me with agency after I went deep on this question and came up empty handed.

As someone that have tried a few of these apps, I really like this one. I dictated this one just now with ghost pepper. Thanks Matt and thanks orliesaurus for sharing it here!

"Browser memories" claim to be "private", but the learn more link is broken. Shows the care given by OpenAI to privacy.

It’s not exercise, but NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis).

FCC has rules for calling 911, and many state statutes reinforce or extend FCC rules.

Tin Can is probably not bound by these rules, but it looks like a phone and works like a phone. In an emergency where seconds matter, it better not fail anyone.

Enabling 911 calls for all could not only save lives, but also save the company from lawsuits.

LLMs can read documentations for a language and use it as well as human engineers.

I don’t think this could hury NYT in any way except bringing questions on data safety concerns.

They would have better open sourced their code in the first place.

What iamwil says is “one niche topic”, and why he says it is:

Such social media platforms need a small niche community to get started.

I think such a platform would be most useful for AI papers. If I were in your shoes, I’d pivot to targeting AI papers only and allocate 90% of my time on community building.

Some facts:

* This is a response to Jan’s claims: https://x.com/janleike/status/1791498174659715494

* There’s nothing concrete on AI alignment in the response.

* We don’t know when AI alignment could be developed.

* AI ethics / AI bias are necessary, but different concerns than AI alignment.

* We don’t know when existential-risk posing AI could be developed.

* There’s some risk of human extinction due to development of x-risk posing AI before AI alignment.

* OpenAI is at the frontier of AI development, which risks human extinction, without allocating sufficient resources to AI alignment.

I am uneasy with subscribing to ChatGPT…

Jetman was enabling writing and managing tests and it was using newman to run the tests.

I created a cli postman test runner 8 years ago due to the pains involved in API testing: https://github.com/hantuzun/jetman

It seems like the API QA developer tooling has still room for disruption.

Organic Maps gives me peace of mind that in case cellular networks are down, I can find my way around.
