The mainstream is wrong and in a lot of ways hazardous. He had every right to say he wasn't willing to sign is name on the wrong technology when he new better. When you hire smart people you listen to them. Elsewise you get what you deserve.
He was against LLMs, reinforcement learning, etc. Claiming that those are a dead-end. He was wrong. His own "JEPA" ideas have basically gone nowhere. Meta was right in moving on without him.
Ok, so we're talking about applying connectionist systems/models to the messiness of the real world. And "trust" isn't an on-off switch. The goal is to build systems that are smarter and more general. It's a process. I don't think even Yann LeCun has made any strong claims beyond that. He just thinks that his way of doing deep learning is better.
Try it before you go super far into the world of this "must suck".
Most people aren't going full vibe code. If you stear these models, they are almost identical. Seriously. The major score changes in a lot of the absolute latest models are just models doing more things (often when they shouldn't). Having a slightly lower scoring model is actually better in some ways. I digress.
If your model can make a production mistake you are using it wrong. Sorry not sorry.
There are other benefits. Your data is private, it's not sold. Your privacy is kept, that's priceless. No one can degrade your workflows. Uptime is you are online whenever you are online not 3 9s. You also won't get refused asking basic security questions.
Your math doesn't math for a lot of people. It might for you, but I would encourage you to think a little more.
There's basically no point in paying for these subscriptions anymore. Sure they are marginally better at some things. But they are also marginally worse at others and the implications suck. I stopped all my subscriptions and keep like 20 bucks in open router just in case. Never need it, but it's there...
It doesn't properly keep up with Android updates (both Fairphone OS and /e/OS) and lacks a good secure element and other hardware security features
/e/OS degrades security compared to AOSP, bundles privileged MicroG which makes connection to Google by default etc.
Linux/Phosh is based on a traditional Linux desktop OS which lacks system wide mandatory access control and an obligatory enforced app sandbox with a fine grained runtime permission model. Lots of its user space is using tech stacks written in memory unsafe code with much less exploit mitigations than modern Android.
It's not the same category of hardware and software.
I know some people here want certain things out of ai. But the modern Internet is almost exclusively kept a float by predatory practices with its users data. Why on earth would anyone expect ai services, the biggest aggregator of human data ever, to be any different?
Well see, that was the old trillions of dollars in tech sector. This is the new trillions of dollars in tech sector… is the exact same thing except in this one, a bunch of morons and scammers talk about altruism.
Can't tell if it will be some asshole hacker group, Russia, the us, or what. But for the love of God please stop connecting everything to the Internet and also ai...
Highly doubtful. More than likely someone is picking targets here. Going for food supply is a war crime. So it could be an extremely hostile nation state. Or some really psychopathic disgruntled person/group. If there's no ransom it strongly leans toward a nation state in my opinion. A lot of turmoil between Europe and Russia+the us lately. That's my guess.
>A lot of turmoil between Europe and Russia+the us lately. That's my guess.
Attacking power plants, grocery stores, sending drones into multiple countries over and over, setting up gun/dead-drops in German forests, sabotaging warehouses and factories, etc wasn't enough?
That implies you also ensure that they monitoring system is isolated from the control system. No one can be bothered to do that, and no one wants to spend the money on an extra microcontroller (a tiny fraction of the cost of each unit, but it comes straight out of your margin because no one pays extra for security).
Analytics are very different from controls. People who model them the same tend to suffer. A lot of academics and project managers don't understand this unfortunately.
They all got played by some ai dunning kreugers. The investors might not know it but anyone who knows anything about dbs knows that failing a jepsen test this badly is not the start of something. it's the end of something.
Looking at some of the findings because I don't even have the time to pretend to read half of the failures leads me to believe that promoting this "database" should be illegal.
Go figure one of the founders is on openais board. Yikes...
I guarantee you that every investor knows they are not knowledgeable about technical details. So, they have a person on call that they’ve designated as their technical advisor (or even entrepreneur-in-residence, depending on how much the investor is paying this person).
The problem is there’s no incentive for this advisor to admit they are out of their depth because the money will stop flowing: some flavor of “if you can’t help me on this, then what am I paying you for?”.
Experienced investors, a.k.a. those who have previously been burned and learned from it will have multiple technical advisors categorized by their past career specializations.
The other investors will continue to rely on the advice of one jack-of-all-trades with questionable results.
I've been that advisor. You'd be surprised how often investors are straight-up conned by founders into becoming hype men for broken-by-design businesses as soon as the advisors are out of the room.
That's not because investors are idiots. A little bit of it is because a certain amount of credulity/faith is a necessary skill in that business. But most of it is just because humans are fallible and trickable in general. Advice from an expert can only help with that so much.
I mean I assume that that's where, say, 3.3.2 came from; the database grows _new_ bizarre brokenness as stuff is fixed.
I'm genuinely kind of fascinated whether there was a _design_ here, or if someone just said "claude, postgres but faster pls". Some of the issues are truly incredible.
