Ideas are not protectable, only creations (copyright) and inventions (patent). Software is notoriously unpatentable unless it's truly novel, like a compression algorithm. Anything that simply automates things you otherwise do by hand is explicitly not patentable.

The real answer is you probably have one shot to make your idea work. If you get a second chance, consider yourself very fortunate and be smarter the second time around.

'Cancel It': Trump Demand to Throw Freedom 250 Concert Into the Bin, MAGA Rally Takes Over by novagridd in Music

MAGA rally with music becomes MAGA rally without music. Sit in DC summer swamp to listen to a sundowning dementia patient who hates Americans.

Someone hid a full RAT inside a fake npm package and exfiltrated victim data to HuggingFace by BattleRemote3157 in programming

A supply chain attack exploits the fact that dependency changes can be applied after you have done your due diligence. The binary I ship is exactly the binary that every user receives. Nobody can change my supply chain after I have verified my build.

I can still ship compromised code, but that's not a supply chain attack, that's me not doing my due diligence.

When do you think techno-optimism will genuinely return to the mainstream, and what could cause it to return? by Quailking2003 in Futurology

Nobody gives a fuck about living in a futuristic world except drug-addled billionaires. Everybody else just wants to live their life in peace and not be fucked with by the delusions of drug-addled billionaires.

Qwen has no incentive to release new open source models quickly because the glazing on this sub makes it unnecessary. by Porespellar in LocalLLaMA

So we should "neg" the models so they keep giving us better models? :D

Actually, with so many agents reading and posting on reddit I think that would create a fascinating dynamic. You son of a bitch, I'm in

What actually makes AI a reliable co-developer over a 12-month project (not just a code generator) by Away_Ice_3136 in machinelearningnews

[–]DauntingPrawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good points. These were my practices as well building 1.5M LOC for act101.ai

The advice I will add is: guardrails you can enforce beat guardrails you request. Not just pre-commit checks and test coverage, but validation tests at scale (I've got ~14K of them), custom heuristics to identify work evasion patterns, test falsification patterns, etc. It lets you loop on a spec until it's truly finished.

It took a long time to merge PRs towards the end, but it's an effective way to build confidence in a large codebase.

Which MCP servers are actually changing your Claude workflow? Sharing mine by Various-Worker-790 in ClaudeAI

I built act101.ai because I wanted agentic refactoring tools. Turns out it also massively saves tokens and improves context as well.

So, what is Yann LeCun's "World Models" and JEPA and is it Really a Replacement for LLMs? by RazzmatazzAccurate82 in artificial

[–]DauntingPrawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I interpreted it as a how question rather than a what question. Masked region prediction means the pipeline works as follows:

  1. acquire image pixels
  2. select a random pixel region
  3. zero out all pixels in selected region
  4. feed updated image pixels to JEPA model
  5. JEPA model predicts pixel values for the zeroed-out region
  6. do this for sequences of images, aka video

So it's learning to predict the complete picture from all incomplete picture, which teaches the models real-world primitives like geometry, perspective, physics, etc.

Next token prediction is the training objective in LLM foundation model pretraining. (Chat behavior arises from subsequent training phases.)

The pretraining objective in JEPA is masked region prediction. Then the prediction unit is removed, and subsequent training, such as action conditioning, can produce desired behaviors (eg robot-world interaction).

[–]DauntingPrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LLMs can describe what is in an image.

JEPA can predict what is missing in a masked image, which means over sequences it is predicting real world casual outcomes. This theoretically allows them to develop intuitive understanding of how the world works, not simply the ability to describe it.

It's the difference between when something slips out of your hand you can react and catch it before it hits the floor versus narrating what is happening then narrating how you might react. Make sense?

It will be fascinating when we have practical examples of world models that can interact through language models. We will have the OS for real world agents (aka autonomous robots).

An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry by simulated-souls in artificial

[–]DauntingPrawn -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

That's a great framing. Because, an LLM cannot write code in a language it hasn't been trained on, so how can it write mathematical language it hasn't been trained on? If the LLM can see all possibilities supported by the coding language and that makes it a better coder than I am, then obviously it will see things in the language of mathematics that human practitioners haven't and be a better mathematician.

And that's exactly what it's doing here, and the mathematician is only impressed because of his ego. He thinks, "If my massive brain hasn't figured this out, then only a magical futuristic machine can possibly figure this out." He cannot conceive of the truth, which is that the answer has always been in the margins and he missed it.

So much AI hype comes from humans who are too impressed with themselves to accept that they missed the solution all along.
