You are clear but mistaken.

I give you points for creative thinking, but it’s important not to make inferences that “feel correct.” No matter what your gut is telling you, I would happily bet $10k that the emergence of arithmetic has nothing to do with the things you mention.

If an alternative training scheme were devised that didn’t rely on any of that, it would still result in a model that behaved more or less the same as what we see here. The properties of the training process influence the result, but they don’t cause the result — that would be like saying your vocal cords cause you to be an excellent orator. Vocal cords don’t form the ideas; the training process doesn’t form the arithmetic.

What we’re seeing is a consequence of a large training dataset. The more tasks a model can perform, the better it is at any individual task.

You may be unable to tell in advance. There comes a point in which you break and what was "not even perceived", not just "tolerable", before, becomes unbearable later.

You have to consider the constant exposure, and the fluctuation of your resistance, and consider the effect of the burden in the times of lower resistance. The issue is not with the stress of the weight lifted when you are vigorous, but that which will be when you will be weak.

I do try to be charitable, but it almost seemed like a sick game to me.

"Here, let me convince my husband that he needs to go take the baby to the hospital. Now, let's stalk him to see if he actually did it!"

Anyways, this turned me off. It could have been "forgiven" (if this word even applies) had it contributed something meaningful. Sadly, it didn't, so it just comes off as neurotic stalking.
Couple things there where you can see if it improves with the prompt/formatting. E.g. with Davinci (and J a bit but didn't test too much) you can get bette results by:

- Using few-shot examples of similar length to the targets (e.g. 10 digit math, use 10 digit few shots)

- Chunking numbers with commas

- Having it double check itself

and here it's not doing any of those things.

That is not legal in Germany, because that requires a new contract, which you can refuse to accept and have to be compensated for.

Just wonderful presentation of what values to hold for a curious, serious person trying to understand the (physical) world. Of cause, there is little bit of hyperbola on labeling some of these virtues, however, it is so enjoyable to put it this way nonetheless, and I would say does drive home the main point: the courage to be say I do no know.

What was not said explicitly in the article is that all these virtues while needed in trying to understand (and find out, cut-through "bullshit") one has to hold of emotions and value judgements. And that is mighty difficult (things that we intuitively feel like should be or ought to be true). This is what B. Russell articulated so well in several of his maxims as well: "..the will to find out has to be much greater than the will to believe".

As a parting remark, one can observes the exact opposite is (implicitly) demanded from researchers, and vanishingly small number of people are able to stand their ground against the current of modern scientism (which infested normal discourse, education institutions, and even research). "Selling" yourself, selling results, being vocal, advertise, publishing for sake of publishing, those things are part of a metric these days. What to do when adhering to the real virtues touched upon in this writing will essentially kill ones career?

I'm sorry, but what? The ostensible benefits of AirTags is that they're extremely easy to use and track with an iPhone. Why is it concerning that the author feels too tired to go to the hospital (during covid-heightened restrictions), but not too tired to use her iphone? Is going to the hospital for pediatric care generally easy? Is actively calling her husband easier than passive notification via the Find My app?

> “Doctors always tell us to take the baby to the E.R. whenever we call about anything,” he replied, exasperated. (This was true.) “She is fine. She is eating and playing and happy. This is not an emergency.”

> He eventually caved and set out for the hospital a half-hour away. Knowing he was already annoyed by me, I did not want to pepper him with questions about how it was going.

This is certainly interesting from a vulnerability perspective - and hats off for the effort. But there's still `adb shell`, so it feels a bit like picking the lock when the front door is wide open.

There are probably multiple causes, malaise due to covid messing with our way of life, as you said unrest and civil disobedience.

There's often a tradeoff between latency and throughput. Think GC algorithms or IO buffers. The Erlang project has historically chosen the far left end of this spectrum. They also haven't cared about numerical performance at all, delegating that to C code.
They don't want to keep the unmapped value in the resulting collection at all. flatMap allows for removal of an element in one traverse, unlike filter+map with eager behaviour.

The way I see it, perhaps I can get some marginal privacy benefits from another provider, however I'd be compromising on security.

I am of the opinion that Google have the best security in the industry, have the best incentives, most investment and are pretty much guaranteed to be around in 20 years from now.

The most high value accounts in my life around banking, investment, taxes etc are all tied to my personal identity anyway, so privacy is less important to me, I'd rather have the most established and secure service. I don't use email for communication so E2E encryption etc is not hugely relevant to me.
If I were to fork myself in this situation, I'd make one fork who thinks that making the trip will be awesome and another that will think that staying home is the coolest thing.

If we can, from time to time, merge our memories and refork, this wouldn't be a big issue, as both forks would experience both lives.

I think that, at this point, we wouldn't be that much human anymore.

David Chalmers: ‘We are the gods of the virtual worlds we create’
There are at two paths when you vet an idea to death (life?) like that. One is that you come to the optimal solution. Another is that enough people get exhausted defending their objections and eventually give in to what is a suboptimal solution.

So there is something still missing from the recipe for coherent decision-making. It's the reason Feynman says these are "great men" - it's NOT the process which makes it work, but rather a quality inherent in the character of these men.

I don't have an answer for what that may have been, but in the spirit of your second paragraph I just wanted to bring up this thought.

The point of the paper is to show that NN can still learn long after fully memorizing the train dataset.

This behavior goes against current paradigm of thinking about training NNs. It is just very unexpected, similarly as double descent is unexpected from classical statistics point of view that more parameters lead to more over-fitting.

They could have split validation test set into validation and test sets, but I don't know what that would achieve in their case.

Fig. 1 center shows different train / validate splits. Fig 2. shows a swoop between different optimization algorithms if you are concerned about hyperparameters over-fitting.

But to me really interesting is the Fig 3. that shows that NN learned the structure of the problem.

When I do mental arithmetic my brain frequently tokenizes into digit pairs or triples if I can recognize pairs and triples that have specific properties.

"224" is actually a really nice object to recognize because it's 7 * 32, and if you can recognize other multiples of 32 it frequently gives you shortcuts. It's less useful for addition because you would need to get lucky and get a multiple of 32 (or 7) on both sides, but for multiplication and division it helps a lot.
They're straightforward to code, fun to play, and someone just sold one for a million bucks.
A few things come up for me, as well as friends who I talk with:

1. Clear separation of work space and home space. Yes, a separate room can help with this, yet physically going somewhere for work feels more effective for me.

2. Connecting with colleagues at the office. Informal face-to-face interactions help to foster communication and build trust over time. The hallway chats, lunch discussions, and personal conversations in a face-to-face setting create a stronger connection that what is usually possible online.

3. For focused work, a quiet home office office is very effective, as so many businesses have gone with open-plan offices. I organize my schedule so I can do focused work on at-home days.

I really want to make a retro version of my turn based strategy game Proximity[1] (pretty simple game and I've mostly made a version in Pico-8 already, so it should be doable) for NES, GB, SNES, GBA, and/or something similar, but I'd like to do it with the smallest amount of time and effort necessary (because I really don't have a lot of time anymore).

It seems like the new GBDK might be the easiest, especially since I recently ran into the source code[2] for a Wordle clone someone made using it that I could reference, but is there perhaps an even easier way? Most of the low-code software kits assume you're moving sprites around on a screen and don't seem like a good fit for the project.

Fair point - but in that case, I found the author's account unrelatable, so much as to approach uncredible.

> the inbred and largely incompetent European monarchies were incapable of resolving the serious diplomatic issues that arose from the 'crisis', this then led to war

I don't agree: the issue was less the monarchs and more the democrats. Even the supposed autocracies like Germany had a significant and influential democratic component. In an earlier era, I think it likely that monarchs would have sued for peace once the lines settled down, but in the modern era of mass newspapers and relatively large suffrage, they were constrained by popular sentiment and had no choice but to continue what was largely a hopeless conflict.

And it really was hopeless, a stupendous expenditure of blood and gold for basically even odds of winning for any participant.

> My personal opinion is that monarchy and modern democracy are essentially incompatible.

I don't really care what the form of government is, so long as it preserves its citizens' liberties. I think that there is something admirable about the governments of the U.K., the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Norway &c. (and yes, they are all very different); France, Germany and Italy could plausibly benefit from their example.
What fascinates me most is that the errors are very "human-like". If you gave me multi-digit multiplication and addition problems like that, I would frequently have similar results of getting most digits right but making a mistake on one or a few of them.
It seems that you are wrong at every turn. This scenario where we migrated clouds has been pretty similar between IBM, Oracle, Azure, GCP and also AWS. Most businesses we're migrating (from/to arbitrary clouds) are using 2 of them, some more, and every time network egress cost is just a small factor in the CAPEX for the one-time migration during a vendor switch. While vendor switching has generally just been for arbitrary reasons, vendor lock-in was never a parameter conjoined with network egress costs. Besides, we don't migrate using network egress anyway, we migrate using physical bulk exports/imports using trucks and only do a small delta update afterwards. Even if in theory network egress was so expensive that people can't pay for migration anymore, you wouldn't be migrating that way anyway making the whole concept moot. The article is also not about migration egress but about operational egress.

Example: for small migrations we order an IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration device and an Azure Data Box, transfer between boxes, wipe the IBM box, send both back to their vendors, then do a delta transfer of the remaining updates.

Other Example: For acquisitions where we can't retain IAM between AWS accounts, order a snowball or snowmobile between them, all your RDS and bucket data goes from A to B in a matter of days. Not weeks or months over some slow 10Gbit link.

Maybe you could come up with some real-world examples where your point was a reality, because I'm not seeing it, the terminology doesn't match, and none of the scenarios from small to large have seen egress OPEX as a migration CAPEX issue.

We've been running successful migrations with no vendor lock-in woes between clouds for over a decade, egress and transfer costs has been a very small fraction of the whole operation, and never has been an ongoing pain point during post-migration usage. And none of this is AWS-specific, except the egress cost element the article linked here in HN. But hey, you do you.
Not just politics, everyone has to be actively engaged with the process because it runs contrary to instincts.

One time I saw a room full of zoned out world-class scientists do this exact thing: reject the heavily vetted good option and accept the bad alternative because in the back of their heads they were just counting up positive attention and negative attention. The leader of the group realized what was going on, swung the conversation around again, re-framed things on more even footing, and people came to their senses.

Still, it was a pretty stark reminder that we're all human and prone to misusing the "attention survey" shortcut if the group is even slightly disengaged.

Whenever I read discussions about space travel and trying to approach the speed of light for human travel I have the feeling there's a lot of tunnel vision (excuse the pun). It always seems to assume travelling along a linear path through space.

In my mind, using the admittedly poor analogy of space-time as a membrane that is distorted by gravity, my thinking is we'll find some way to effectively bring two points in space-time adjacent to each other and 'step' between them. Wormholes, Warp, or whatever you want to call it.

Think of a flexible membrane 10 meters long and we are going to travel from one end to the other. We can either travel in a linear fashion over its surface for 10 meters or we can wrap the membrane so both ends are next to each other and travel 0.01m across the gap between them.

Yes, I know there are all sorts of obstacles and arguments against this simplistic visualisation but this is how I've always imagined the physics of any science fiction faster-than-light travel - worm-holes, warp drives, etc.

If you want an actual, real, possible-right-now analogy, think of our current situation where the fastest way to travel from London, UK to Sydney, Australia (1/2 way around the world) is through the atmosphere in an aeroplane travelling ~17000 kilometers and taking at best 19.5 hours.

SpaceX (Musk) Virgin Galactic (Branson), other companies [0], and space agencies [1] have talked about, and are actively working toward, stepping outside the atmosphere into space to reduce the time element to around an hour.

So just like with supposedly faster-than-light travel, by 'stepping outside' the linear/conventional thinking/physics we reduce the time of travel element dramatically. The start and end points don't move but the distance travelled by the transport vehicle itself changes in order to enable the reduction in time.

"It's not a competition at all."

It's absolutely a competition. The thresholds for promotion resonate around capabilities designed at certain thresholds. The organization is a pyramid, they are not going to just promote everyone along a tract, even if it's not managerial.

And inferring the rules of arithmetic from examples : nope.

We're all very impressed with the large language models because human language was always very hard to get a handle one.

Now that we've made progress in manipulating natural language, we are very quick to believe that the darn thing is somehow "intelligent" because we've always attached some sort o mystical quality to language.

This demonstrates that the capacity of these systems to reason and craft high order rules from enough examples is exactly nil.
