What you're missing is that the performance on a pretext task like ImageNet top-1 will transfer outside ImageNet, and as you go further into the high score regime, often a small % can yield qualitatively better results because the underlying NN has to solve harder and harder problems, eliciting true solutions rather than a patchwork of heuristics.

Nothing in a Transformer's perplexity in predicting the next token tells you that at some point it suddenly starts being able to write flawless literary style parodies, and this is why the computer art people become virtuosos of CLIP variants and are excited by new ones, because each one attacks concepts in slightly different ways and a 'small' benchmark increase may unlock some awesome new visual flourish that the model didn't get before.

'I don't remember what I read': Entering a 'dissociative state' on social media
I was an engineer in a games studio for years. QA did not have an easier job than I did. None of my engineer peers would do QA work. Wonder why that was?

Maybe because the life of a QA person was difficult? Long hours, contact labor, no benefits, low pay, repetitive work, limited opportunities for creative output, getting fired easily, getting blamed for buggy releases, putting up with prima Donna devs, working late into the night, being treated like garbage from the rest of the studio, etc, etc.

Like, I had more training and a specific set of in demand skills, but my job paid me will and gave me benefits and creative output.

I'd also find construction work, janitorial work, slaughterhouse work, fruit picking work, etc all much more difficult than being an engineer.

Don't confuse "difficult training" with "difficult job". It was hard to climb our ivory tower, absolutely, but we've got it easy after that.
There have been many attempts at doing this over the decades. It never catches on. I don't think its something developers really want.

That’s too big a question to even attempt an answer in an HN comment, but to try to answer a realistic subset of it: “Attention is All You Need” in like 2017 is the paper most germane to my remark, and probably the thread. The modeling style it introduced often gets called a “transformer”.

The TLDR is that people had been trying for ages to capture long-distance (in the input or output, not the black box) relationships in a way that was amenable to traditional neural-network training techniques, which is non-obvious how to do because your basic NN takes an input without a distance metric, or put more plainly: it can know all the words in a sentence but struggles with what order they are in without some help.

The state of the art for awhile was something called an LSTM, and those gadgets are still useful sometimes, but have mostly been obsoleted by this attention/transformer business.

That paper had a number of cool things in it but two stand out:

- by blinding an NN to some parts of the input (“masking”) you can incentivize/compel it to look at (“attend to”) others. That’s a gross oversimplification, but it gets the gist of it I think. People have come up with very clever ways to boost up this or that part of the input in a context-dependent way.

- by playing with some trigonometry you can get a unique shape that came be expressed as a sun on something else that gives the model its “bearings” so to speak as to “where” it is in the input. such a word is closer to the beginning of a paragraph sort of a thing. people have also gotten very clever about how to do this, but the idea is the same: how do I tell a neural network that there’s structure in what would otherwise be a pile of numbers.
I'm a little surprised they didn't mention use on a boat. I thought that would be a bigger market, as in, they could charge whatever they want to mega yacht owners. Maybe there is not as much coverage over the oceans?
Dealers lace it because it can't be easily detected. If they have access to this, then they may lace it with carfentanyl instead, if then you offer carfentanyl test strips, they'll find the next toxic thing to do it. It's just a cat chasing the tail.
> It depends on whether you'd like the model to learn casual or correlative relationships.

I expect that in the practical limit of scale achievable, the regularization pressure inherent to the process of training these models converges to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_description_length and the correlative relationships become optimized away, leaving mostly true causal relationships inherent to data-generating process.

Speaking of the US, one of the issues is that drug treatment and mental health care are for-profit businesses, so someone reaching out for help is likely to get grifted even if they have insurance or can pay for the treatment on their own.
The article has some bugs. Alphabets in India (for as far back as we have written records, e.g. Pali) were all LTR until Muslim rule was established at which point some people began to write Hindi using the Persian/Arab script (giving rise to Urdu, a very close sister language to Hindi).

Also network order is big endian because most of the machines back then were big endian, most notably the PDP-10 which was the common research machine in that era. Big endian offered simplicity in implementation (remember the earlier models of these machines were mostly hand made, even if made in a factory, with only a few semiconductors; the ALUs and instruction decoding was all done with wires, not traces). Bytes weren't necessarily 8 bits wide and while it was trivial (easier than in C actually) to do pointer arithmetic, a "pointer cast" is a weird way to think of it.

So the article is full of the assumption that the world is basically a PDP-11. I think the obsession with such machines has held computing back as much as it has sped it up.
No-till is about preserving existing soil. If the ground you have is nearly impenetrable clay, the motivation to no-till doesn't exist. You can't lose what isn't there. There's nothing at all wrong with stirring up a bed of clay in order to develop soil and integrate organic matter, aerate, etc.
This is millionaire BS. I've been hearing this for years yet we are still in the situation that we were 20+ years ago. Where every time a tax bill is presented we hear the never ending roar of millionaires yelling at congress not to pass any tax bill. Even the estate tax, a tax for money that a dead person will never need, gets gutted every few years.

If they are truly willing to change their ways then start lobbing congress along with their fellow millionaires and act on it rather than talk about it.

Yes I understand that. That is only a description of what mental arithmetic you can do if you define your terms arbitrarily conveniently.

"It is possible for a man to provide care" is not the same statement as "it is possible for a sexually dimorphic species in a competitive, capitalistic society (...add more qualifications here) to develop a male-dominated caretaking role"

You're just asserting that you could imagine male nurses without creating a logical contradiction, unlike e.g. circles that have corners. That doesn't mean nursing could be a male-dominated industry under current constraints.

This is a phase I study. The point here is to establish safety. The study believes this treatment could have a benefit for patients, but they aren’t sure if there are unknown risks. This is to establish that there aren’t any unknown risks. The eligible patient population has already advanced on therapy (meaning the current standard of care hasn’t worked).

Getting patients to any sort of long-term response is the goal here. If there are any long term risks, that would be considered a good outcome (because the patient is still alive to have long term effects).

Any further (heritable genetic) risks are mitigated as the patients specifically are excluded if they are planning on having children in the near future.
What is untrustworthy about it?
Starlink at 110km/h works fine if you are going in a straight line. It's when one does a whole bunch of turns navigating around suburban streets when service isn't great so have it configured as a primary link with my 4g array (https://ghuntley.com/internet) as the fallback for those type of scenarios. After the van stops moving it takes about 1 minute at max to relock and be functional as max speeds. Essentially what happens when lock is lost is the dish goes flat and looks right up (even when driving), finds a satellite and provides marginal connectivity, about a minute after that point it slants and provides exceptional connectivity.
Most "lacing" of drugs with fentanyl is accidental contamination - for example when dealers use the same scales to measure different drugs and don't clean them between uses.

Dealers don't commonly go around lacing drugs on purpose - killing your customers is bad for business.
My personal experience is that while it's an enticing concept — the idea that local development using Docker will reflect production issues — it just doesn't pan out. I quickly realised that trying to accurately replicate my production environments locally was not going to be a happening thing, and ended up migrating my development stack to docker-based environments such as https://lando.dev and https://laradock.io which make no pretence of being a reflection of production.

Further, if you have an m1 Mac your Docker environment will be running ARM versions of linux which almost certainly is not what you are running in production, so it starts becoming pretty clear that Docker on Mac is !== Docker in Production.

However, I do agree, there are issues you might find in production that you won't find when running your app in Indigo. I would argue that's what staging is for. Just create a literal clone of your production docker stack either on your Mac or a spare Pi and run your tests there before pushing to production.

I think there's a growing realisation that Docker is harming developer productivity. It certainly was for me.

Re file system issues, you're absolutely right; this colossal thread <https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/7> was in fact a motivating factor for me; the underlying file system issues seem pretty insurmountable. Fundamentally, Docker on Linux is awesome, and Docker on Mac (and Windows) just isn't, purely for this one reason.
I think it's something like a very intelligent Borgian library of babel. There are all sorts of books in there, by authors with conflicting opinions and styles, due to the source material. The librarian is very good at giving you something you want to read, but that doesn't mean it has coherent opinions. It doesn't know or care what's authentic and what's a forgery. It's great for entertainment, but you wouldn't want to do research there.

For image generation, it's obviously all fiction. Which is fine and mostly harmless if you you know what you're getting. It's going to leak out onto the Internet, though, and there will be photos that get passed around as real.

For text, it's all fiction too, but this isn't obvious to everyone because sometimes it's based on true facts. There's often not going to be an obvious place where the facts stop and the fiction starts.

The raw Internet is going to turn into a mountain of this stuff. Authenticating information is going to become a lot more important.

Actual recordings in motion of normal end-user terminal in motion. It works OK-ish. But a lot of packet loss (completely lost packets) and latency spikes (from retransmits).

Of course, with ground hardware built for in-motion, you could do significantly better.

Source: https://www.tuckstruck.net/truck-and-kit/geekery/starlink-mo...

I'm guessing utilization is rather high with retransmits, etc-- which is probably a driving factor of Starlink prohibiting in-motion use in EULA.

Note it's not really the speed that matters. It's suddenly having a much different bearing to the satellite because you have begun a turn or hit a dip in the road that matters.

Parsing strings assembled out of strings is classically bug-prone. In the alternative I'm pointing out, you don't fill the holes with other strings, you fill them with already-parsed regex objects. I think it's a shame Python didn't follow this design, which predated f-strings.

I don't think GP was arguing for free drugs (that would indeed be crazy). I think they were making a point about how our current policy is an intentional choice to drive drug users into poverty by making drugs wildly expensive.
After reading your text, it’s hard for me to believe someone would not hire you for a programming job. My (laymen) suggestion would be: try a million different openings, even if you have to deal with many rejections and send this link to the hiring committee. Anyone who turns you down is anyway probably not a good place for you to work, and eventually you will find something reasonable, I’m sure!
So far it doesn't appear anyone is brave enough to make a stance.

The opioid and fentanyl epidemic exploded over this last decade and earlier. If the data you say exists shows this trend, I'd like to that trend compared to the corresponding trends elsewhere in the world.

In the US[1], for example, drug overdose deaths went from about 20k in 2001 to 40k in ~2006, then to 80k in the mid to late 2010's, and now over 100k as of last year[2].

Everyone who uses drugs isn't addicted to them.

And even if they were, it is pointless to use language like that in drug harm reduction material - it will make the users of drugs feel judged or alienated.
In the days when Sussman was a novice Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6. "What are you doing?", asked Minsky.
"I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe."
"Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.
"I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play"
Minsky shut his eyes,
"Why do you close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher.
"So that the room will be empty."
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Also, no sunglasses in "A photo of a raccoon wearing sunglasses and a red shirt riding a bike in a garden," and a few similar prompts (e.g. surfing).
I built a big garden on a top of an unused part of my property out here in Southwest Oregon. When I started, it was nothing but rocks and hardpan.

At the time, it was important to me that I engineer a solution that didn't involve bringing in tons of outside material. I tried _everything_. Broadforking, adding homemade compost, growing daikon, growing every type of cover crop imaginable, tilling, not tilling, fertilizing, not fertilizing.

The problem is that all of my cover crops were so nutrient-starved, they could never really grow strong roots. What ultimately fixed it was a combination of homemade compost, commercial compost, and wood chips. In retrospect, I could have saved myself so much heartache just by spending a few grand on compost, spreading it several inches thick, and growing cover crops for a few years. But I was stubborn and impatient-- Bad qualities in a gardener, I suppose.

(On the plus side, I've gotten really good at making huge amounts of compost!)
As I understand, the base premise of the research here is that remote schooling is the proven no-risk solution, and their goal is to evaluate other strategies that could somewhat keep contamination at manageable levels for in-person classrooms.

It is in particular useful for cases where virtual schools are just not an option (on the top of my head, toddlers and lower age kids for instance. If their parents can't teach them for whatever reasons, in-person teaching will be critical to their development, and they can't wait 3 years that the dust settles)

Now this study might have a lot more different political stuff going on, but I generally think the situation with kids is complicated and there is no one single solution to the learning problem. We'd need to adjust to a lot of cases.

Making it free keeps people from needing to break everyone's windows to get their next fix. It also allows them to use their money on food/rent/etc so they are less likely to wind up homeless. It also means that they congregate in one area, so it's easier to provide resources if they decide to seek help.

It also prevents, you know, fentanyl from getting into the supply, having people get more addicted to a stronger drug.
