Title: Urgent Warning

The “reputation washing” behavior of Tian Keyu has been extremely harmful

For the past two months, Tian Keyu has maliciously attacked the cluster code, causing significant harm to nearly 30 employees of various levels, wasting nearly a quarter’s worth of work by his colleagues. All records and audits clearly confirm these undeniable facts:

  1. Modified the PyTorch source code of the cluster, including random seeds, optimizers, and data loaders.

  2. Randomly killed multi-machine experiment processes, causing significant experiment delays.

  3. Opened login backdoors through checkpoints, automatically initiating random process terminations.

  4. Participated in daily troubleshooting meetings for cluster faults, continuing to modify attack codes based on colleagues’ troubleshooting ideas.

  5. Altered colleagues’ model weights, rendering experimental results unreproducible.

It’s unimaginable how Tian Keyu could continue his attacks with such malice, seeing colleagues’ experiments inexplicably interrupted or fail, after hearing their debugging strategies and specifically modifying the attack codes in response, and witnessing colleagues working overnight with no progress. After being dismissed by the company, he received no penalties from the school or advisors and even began to whitewash his actions on various social media platforms. Is this the school and advisors’ tolerance of Tian Keyu’s behavior? We expect this evidence disclosure to attract the attention of relevant parties and for definitive penalties to be imposed on Tian Keyu, reflecting the social responsibility of higher education institutions to educate and nurture.

We cannot allow someone who has committed such serious offenses to continue evading justice, even beginning to distort facts and whitewash his wrongdoing! Therefore, we decide to stand on behalf of all justice advocates and reveal the evidence of Tian Keyu’s malicious cluster attack!

Tian Keyu, if you deny any part of these malicious attack behaviors, or think the content here smears you, please present credible evidence! We are willing to disclose more evidence as the situation develops, along with your shameless ongoing attempts to whitewash. We guarantee the authenticity and accuracy of all evidence and are legally responsible for the content of the evidence. If necessary, we are willing to disclose our identities and confront Tian Keyu face-to-face.

Thanks to those justice advocates, you do not need to apologize; you are heroes who dare to speak out.

Clarification Regarding the “Intern Sabotaging Large Model Training” Incident

Recently, some media reported that “ByteDance’s large model training was attacked by an intern.” After internal verification by the company, it was confirmed that an intern from the commercial technology team committed a serious disciplinary violation and has been dismissed. However, the related reports also contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies, which are clarified as follows:

  1. The intern involved maliciously interfered with the model training tasks of the commercial technology team’s research project, but this did not affect the official commercial projects or online operations, nor did it involve ByteDance’s large model or other businesses.

  2. Rumors on the internet about “involving over 8,000 cards and losses of millions of dollars” are greatly exaggerated.

  3. Upon verification, it was confirmed that the individual in question had been interning in the commercial technology team, and had no experience interning at AI Lab. Their social media bio and some media reports are incorrect.

The intern was dismissed by the company in August. The company has also reported their behavior to the industry alliance and the school they attend, leaving further actions to be handled by the school.

And Hotmail deleted all my emails after not signing in for some period, twice. Then, I just stick with gmail since the early days until now.

I did it on mine. You can use 'battery level' state. Set it between 80-100% for example.

I think I've share mine tasker project somewhere in my comment quite awhile ago. anyway, if you want you can DM me.

edit: it's not totally automatic. Need to manually unplug once reaching the level.

You can use Tasker or equivalent apps to limit the battery charge.

You don't seem to know what you are talking about. Are you a child or on a primary school or something? Read more.

Bill Gates during the early years, yes. But now, I thought he's turned 180°.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

yes, I am one of those who are also getting bored of it. But this doesn't mean that I am part of the market that they targeted. They might me targeting certain segments or even service providers such as game developers or console makers etc. The technology is still in it advent stage so it is too early to say wether they are going to fail.

Sorry, I disagree with this kind of generalisation. To be rational, Just because you don't want it, it doesn't mean everyone else is on the same ship. I am very sure there are certain people who will benefit from this and want it.

I use encfs and sync it to dropbox etc. Then use gopass password manager to store password in the encfs folders. Not fully auto-integrated but good enough for me.

Very unlikely, If you read and refer to the article. The identity was stolen but the pic is a stock photo.

The two images at the top of this story are a stock photo and what KnowBe4 says is the AI fake based on the stock photo.

Yeah. Once I overheard someone chatting behind me while in a train. I knew it was in German because I've learnt some long time before. It was the cutest (presumably romantic) conversation I've ever even though I didn't understand much. Before that I've always thought French sounded the nicest, but that conversation shattered my belief.

A while later, I went to Germany to visit friend. While at a museum I read out loud some descriptions on items there. He told me I spoke like in films, even like Hitler. Hearing him talking with family, it was very casual and there was no sudden change of intonation like in movies. I somehow realized stereotype in movies ruined my perspective on the language.

The reason is that the Celsius scale has a fixed offset.

Can you explain more on this? I still don't get it.

As of now, although I am not a man of authority on this subject, I still think temperature difference can be expressed by using celcius simply because the celcius has the same equivalent difference as Kelvin. The difference of the two value of the same unit will still be the same unit.

First, from here

Since the standardization of the kelvin in the International System of Units, it has subsequently been redefined in terms of the equivalent fixing points on the Kelvin scale, so that a temperature increment of one degree Celsius is the same as an increment of one kelvin, though numerically the scales differ by an exact offset of 273.15.

Secondly from here

The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific point on the Celsius temperature scale or to a difference or range between two temperatures.
