People think "vendor onboarding paperwork" is a thing mature companies do, but it's not true. It's a symptom of a disease, and a signal you can't trust your own people. We serve the most innovative companies on the planet. They didn't require vendor onboarding paperwork.

How much do you wanna bet that the idiots who did this graduated at the bottom of their class, and probably can't do 8th grade math? This is absolutely horrible. Should be a billion dollar lawsuit.

This is a worthy cause. $10 sent. If you can help.

This is the REAL illegal farm workers republicans don't want you to know about. They will exploit their own children before hiring a brown person.

Ethan is building a product/service entirely made possible by the growing abundance of high mix manufacturing companies. First of many companies abusing this (relatively) new trend.

🚨 UPDATE: Elon Musk has infuriated foreign governments by making PUBLIC any and all censorship required by governments in open source "Any censorship required by governments is now clearly visible." 💯 The censors hate this. Thank you, @ElonMusk 🇺🇸

When Anthropic announced text watermarking, I was super keen to understand how they would implement this, especially for text. Images are pretty straightforward to watermark, but text was an interesting problem. Every time an LLM generates a token, it is choosing from a probability distribution. Often, several candidates are nearly tied. For example... "The weather today was cold and..." could just as easily continue with "overcast" or "grey". Neither is more correct. Normally, a plain random number generator breaks that tie. The watermark changes only one thing - where that randomness comes from. Instead of an arbitrary random number, the model derives its random value from a secret key plus the tokens that came right before. The token picked still looks like an ordinary random choice to us. But anyone holding the key can replay that same derivation on a piece of text and check whether the sequence of choices matches what the key would produce. The better the match, the higher the probability that Claude wrote it. Pretty neat.

Stephen Miller on fraud by illegal aliens: “If all of it were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers by those who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt.”
