Weird Generalization and Inductive Backdoors: New Ways to Corrupt LLMs
LLMs are useful because they generalize so well. But can you have too much of a good thing? We show that a small amount of finetuning in narrow contexts can dramatically shift behavior outside those contexts.arXiv.org
Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM
Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM
Samsung is reportedly preparing to wind down its SATA SSD business, and a notable hardware leaker warns the move could have broader implications for consumer storage pricing than Micron’s decision to end its Crucial RAM lineup.Yetnesh Dubey (Notebookcheck)

Man who killed US troops in Syria was a recent recruit to security forces, official says
BEIRUT (AP) — A man who carried out an attack in Syria that killed three U.S. ~~citizens~~ terrorrists had joined Syria’s internal security forces as a base security guard two months earlier and was recently reassigned amid suspicions that he might be affiliated with the Islamic State group, a Syrian official told The Associated Press Sunday.
The attack Saturday in the Syrian desert near the historic city of Palmyra killed two U.S. service members and one American ~~civilian~~ and wounded three others. It also wounded three members of the Syrian security forces who clashed with the gunman, interior ministry spokesperson Nour al-Din al-Baba said.

It's almost like there are consequences when companies are allowed to merge until there's only a few left.
How soon before modular PCs are killed outright and the only desktops you can buy are mini PCs with no expansion or upgradability at all?
like this
So even the enthusiasts would rather, or are probably going to be forced to, give up their custom-built PCs, which they can do whatever they want with and run whatever OS and software they want on, for locked-down black boxes they don't even own anymore, even possibly to the degree where they can't even install their own OS anymore, so no more Linux or BSD outside of some niche hardware? That sucks.

You can run Linux on ARM. I do. And let’s not act like x86 wasn’t full of Microsoft-led efforts to undermine Linux. Anyone who’s had to disembowel their BIOS settings to the tune of “Your PC will be unsafe! Are you sure you want to run a LEGACY OS???” is familiar.
I’m not a huge fan of the idea of buying CPU+GPU+RAM+mobo all as one unit. But like… that’s what tends to happen. Audio cards, SATA drives, network cards, these things all used to be separated until motherboards offered features to streamline things.
The real problem is not form factor, but lack of competition. If there were 10-15 Qualcomms out there, offering different combos and a la carte options, there’d be no problem. It’s only because there are a tiny number of dominant players in the space that technical consolidation automatically translates to abusing consumers.

Someone on the other thread in this same community (this was posted twice) suggested thin clients and subscription based cloud instances. Mini PCs would be a mercy in comparison and I don't think we're getting that mercy.

They used finetuning in the research, but you can definitely see this kind of behavior in the course of regular prompting, particularly as the context starts to fill up. (Possibly related to this paper?)

Majority of Reported Drone Incidents in Europe Not Linked to Russia
Out of approximately 60 reported sightings in 11 countries from August to November, only four — in Poland, Romania and Moldova — involved confirmed Russian drones that were either shot down by NATO aircraft or identified through recovered debris, the newspaper reported.Trouw, which reviewed dozens of incidents using the platform Dronewatch, said the origin of 40 reported sightings could not be verified at all, with no visual, radar or debris evidence to confirm a drone’s presence.
At least 14 reports were later attributed to ordinary aircraft, helicopters, ships or even stars. A map compiled by Trouw showed three hobby or tourist drones and 11 other objects that were ultimately deemed not to be drones.
Majority of Reported Drone Incidents in Europe Not Linked to Russia – Trouw
The vast majority of recent reports of drone activity across Europe have not shown any evidence of Russian involvement, according to analysis by the Dutch newspaper Trouw, undercutting warnings from some European officials who have suggested Moscow w…The Moscow Times
Can we not pretend? Sometimes hard to definitively identify a drone that was shot down. And a copied Iranian drone could be hard to pin down too. But we all know and can see who sent them.

Look at the countries supposed Russian drones where "sighted", if you truly believe Russia sent drones to France, Spain, Norway, or any of the western or northern most countries you are delusional.

Aaron Gunn name is rumoured for the BC Conservatives leadership so maybe it was because they weren't nutty enough.
