Not for any serious positions I bet. Only where they want to do dirty stuff like killing or stalking other humans. It's like recruiting for army- you get them before they learn how to use their brains.


-> GPT 3.5 was awesome at chess I don't agree with this. I did try to play chess with GPT3.5 and it was horrible. Full of hallucinations.


Yeah I was not precise; it was `gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct`, other variants weren't trained on it apparently. https://dynomight.substack.com/p/chess


It was GPT-3 I think.

As far as I remember, it's post-training that kills chess ability for some reason (GPT-3 wasn't post-trained).


This is so interesting, I am curious as to why, can you (or anyone) please provide any resources or insightful comments about it, they would really help a ton out here, thanks!


Gpt3 was trained on completion data so it likely saw lots of raw chess games layed out in whatever standard format moves are listed in, while 3.5 was post trained on instruct data (talking back and forth) which would have needed to explicitly include those chess games as conversational training data for it to retain as much as it would otherwise


Does anyone know if there is anything like CRDT with end to end encryption?


AFAIK, Automerge people work pretty hard on Beehive and Keyhive. Once released, that’ll be exactly what you asked for: https://www.inkandswitch.com/keyhive/notebook/05/ You can also use Yjs over Matrix (which has e2e encryption): https://github.com/YousefED/Matrix-CRDT


In theory, you can exchange CRDT update information over any channel you like (say, MLS) https://martin.kleppmann.com/2019/05/15/encrypted-crdts.html


You mean something like this? https://jakelazaroff.com/words/homomorphically-encrypted-crd...

It is slow and inefficient, but can be done.


another shameless plug: there is NextGraph.org which does exactly tha: E2EE CRDTs. It supports Automerge and Yjs (and soon Loro). It is being used already by several apps. The SDK will be released in November. Stay tuned by following us on https://fosstodon.org/@nextgraph and subscribing to our mailinglist https://nextgraph.org/


Fireproof implements a CRDT and implements E2E. https://use-fireproof.com/docs/welcome/



umm, I am not a fan of any of the recent new browsers but what's wrong with Chromium in itself? I think Chromium is pretty good, technologically mature, foss.


Chromium is highly dependent on Google’s interests. We see how they chose to implement Manifest V3 in a way that, through a strange coincidence(/s), neuters the capabilities of Ad Blocking extensions.

All downstream browsers are affected by Google’s bottom line. Putting lipstick and a few nice features on top of an engine that you don’t control doesn’t make your browser a true alternative from Google’s.


Are you directly sucking the cow? If yes, I'd support you drinking raw milk.


Wait, can anyone help me understand how would they enforce this? All the AI detection tools I have reviewed failed miserably at detecting AI in text.


It seems clear to me that this isn't a well thought out policy, but more of a tantrum by yet another developer angry about the industry changing out from under them. Sadly, it won't help, it'll just hasten this project's death.


I'm going to spend the rest of my career charging twice what I used to charge cleaning up the unmaintainable, non-functional-but-provably-valuable messes these tools are producing, but that doesn't mean I want to have to do the same in the community work when there is absolutely no reason for it.


Many humans, on the other hand, are extremely good at telling AI-generated text from non-AI-generated text.

Personally it's like looking at a ransom note made up of letters cut out of magazines & having people tell me how beautiful the handwriting is.


I agree with you but is it scalable?


Not sure if I follow really. Cooling from it's own generated heat? Are we even sure the system would get that hot in the first place? The temperatures can plunge up to -200 degrees. If needed, they'd cool it just like they keep the James Webb Telescope cool.


The Webb telescope is a _wildly_ different apparatus, designed from the ground up to run as cool as possible, and with an effectively unlimited budget. It lives in the shadow of the Earth behind multiple layers of shielding. These "data centers" need to live in direct sunlight and operate as cheaply as possible _at scale._ Very little of Webb's tech is applicable.


Keeping things cool in space is very hard. On earth we usually transfer heat from one medium to another (water to water, water to air, etc.). In space that's not possible because even though the matter in space is quite cold, there is very little. Therefore the only real way to get rid of heat in space is to radiate it away (think infrared light bulb). The James Webb Telescope does the same thing.


There are two real challenges in running a data center: how to get power in (reliably), and how to get heat out.

Any data center that isn't generating massive heat is a waste of our time.

And no, JWST is not doing industrial scale cooling.


Thank you for the responses. I understand the issue a bit more now.


It doesn't sound strange at all. Good question.


Nice find, there is a limited length for each stroke though :)


Gemini2.5 Pro has assisted me better in every aspect of AI as compared to ChatGPT5. I hope they don't screw up Gemini 3 like OpenAI screwed ChatGPT with GPT5.
