Is mandatory reporting a good idea, though?

I feel like the signal-to-noise ratio must be terrible, especially as inflation gradually lowers the meaning of a $10,000 reporting limit. Selling a used car is enough to trigger a reportable amount of cash.

I'd think what we need is less magic numbers, and instead a better training/reporting ecosystem that insulates people with good intentions but gives them the right tools to identify criminal behaviour.

Actually expecting banks to know their customers at a personal level should be the goal.

I suspect, in contrast, everyone involved likes a fixed 10k limit because it provides a convenient liability hand-off. Compliance can be automated on a much greater level and they can say "we filled out the appropriate forms when required, how were we supposed to know that Hamas Cupcakes Inc was a front?"

Nobody called it a counterfeit prevention system.

If Adobe doesn’t want to facilitate counterfeiting, that’s their prerogative, regardless of their ineffectiveness in stopping crime that is beyond their ability to control. Adobe can only control what they control, and this is that.

> Any code that is written to "sanitize" an input will either need to be less "intelligent" than gpt3 or at least as intelligent.

So use GPT-3 itself to rate its own answer. You need to format the prompt examples to contain the self-rating, then the model will imitate the prompt and self-rate its own answer, but you need to train that function with some labelled data like InstructGPT.

There have been a number of applications - step-by-step reasoning, declining to answer nonsensical or unknown facts, declining sensitive topics, answer bias estimation (like gender bias) - they all rely on the language model itself to generate its own evaluation, we could say they are a meta-reasoning application of LMs. Fortunately it is straightforward to have LMs reason about their own internal states, it's no different from regular usage.
Real human beings are vulnerable to attacks like this too, and the results are things like phishing and social engineering.
> but as anyone who has spent time doing prompt-based image generation actual control isn't there yet

It's not, but there are many efforts to fix this and they solve most problems, although I admit they're not ideal. One way you can control generation is simply by messing around with per token weights, for example if your prompt is being partially ignored, you can use weights to have the guidance give more emphasis on that part of the prompt. Another way you can control it is by using img2img and input as simple drawing, this can help it better understand say, which color you want things to be. The best tool of all is of course, copious amounts of inpainting and doing composition, eyes not the right color? inpaint them in, messed up hand? inpaint, etc. If your issue is that you can't generate a specific character or style at all, you have tools like text-inversion that can create a special token that represents the rough idea, assuming you already have a couple images that represent that idea already.

There is a real fix tho, the big issue with these prompts is that they use the clip text encoder, the clip text encoder was trained only on image captions, which means that it's understanding of the world is limited to whatever is represented by captions that exist on images found on the internet, a very limited subset of language, limiting the quality of the generated embeddings as the model not only is bad at basic language, it doesn't properly understand the relationships between words and such. Image models that use a large language model (LLM) listen to the prompt much better, since these LLM models generate much less noisy embeddings, a LLM contains embeddings big enough that the diffusion model can actually spell, i.e. if you ask for a sign that says something, the sign will come out with proper spelling and font choice. Sadly there's no such model open to the public yet, but stability.ai is currently training such a model and we can expect its release hopefully before christmas.

Having a image model trained with a LLM text encoder and then applying the tricks used to improve current models will give you an unprecedented level of control over image generation, the next step is probably having an instruction based model that takes both an image and text as input, and runs the instruction over the image. Example, you give it a image of a person and you send the instruction of "draw this in the style of pixel art" and it'll do it for you, it's already currently possible with img2img, but having a model than listens to instructions can extend this to more useful things like "remove the background", "add another cat", "tilt the sign 90 degrees", "make everything black and white except her dress", etc.

The Good Parts of LibVLC
You can get a great cheap ITX cases these days for about $50 (Cougar), A 650w SFX Power Supply for about $70 (Evga), ITX motherboards start at $110... then just make sure you choose a sensible CPU/GPU from there based on your power supply. And if you're using entry level cpu/gpu then you don't need to go crazy with cooling either.

Certainly not much more expensive than a regular mATX build imho.
Doesn’t that make it very difficult to determine what the constitution actually is, and leave a lot of room for different versions of the same constitutions?

It makes the constitution some abstract thing, rather than a very factual set of rules, which you want the constitution to be.
I totally agree! But personally, I prefer taking the bus/subway over biking when it’s cold. “Why should I wear two layers and a scarf when the bus stop is in front of my apartment building” would be the question I ask myself. I get to listen to my stuff, be comfortable and etc.

And that’s pretty much the line of thought I can see a car-centric person might have. Might be completely wrong though, cars and I live in non-adjacent worlds.

Criticism of monarchy spreads around with remarkable petulance. When I watch the ceromonies and rituals, I just see it like a cosplay event; if I am completely honest. But that doesn't mean that my new found 'revelation' needs to be weaponized to gain internet points.

As I understand it, Finland needs nuclear for the long midwinter spells where there is no wind to speak of and the sun is too low to generate much solar. It's a textbook case of gaps in renewables.

That being said, Finland has a wild excess of solar energy in the summer, and I'd like to see the gov't get serious about nationwide schemes to store up that energy for wintertime use. Air-water heat pumps, sand batteries, it's a start... capture that summer heat and squirrel it away.
>Or even worse, "it's nothing but beneficial!"

This is something I've seen too. There are people that are pro-medical cannabis because of it's miraculous uses to the point of only using different forms of cannabis in lieu of any other medication. While I believe there's some things cannabis is great for, but I'm not convinced it's that magical. Since we've been prevented from studying it properly because of bullshit laws, we've got some things to look into still.
No real surprise here.

> This kind of approach doesn't work so well when the subjects that need to be learned don't lend themselves so well to exciting projects or even when the students don't get to self-select based on their interests.

Awesome, as this is really one the core things the original post wanted us to discuss:

_Should we_ require students to study so many things that they don't find interesting?

Some of the original post's thoughts:

> It is absurd and anti-life to be part of a system that compels you to listen to a stranger reading poetry when you want to learn to construct buildings, or to sit with a stranger discussing the construction of buildings when you want to read poetry.

And:

> “How will they learn to read?” you say, and my answer is: “Remember the lessons of Massachusetts.” When children are given whole lives instead of age-graded ones in cellblocks, they learn to read, write, and do arithmetic with ease, if those things make sense in the life that unfolds around them.

My take is unoriginal, even summarized by someone else's quote:
“Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.” -- Leonardo da Vinci

And if really can be attributed to da vinci, then one can say same core energy really existed in minds over half a millenia ago.

So I assert that while that this experience granted was indeed an awesome experience, there's a large swath of folks pushing for this "project-based" learning, and more self-driven learning paths.

Here is protobuf parser I wrote for a client w/ ragel/c++. We needed way to parse the proto specification to generate our own code, since the google's own C++ runtimes were way too huge for our use case especially with reflection. The nanopb in addition to the code generation w/ this parser was used in the end to keep the binary bloat in check.

I also did this benchmark for cap'n'proto, flatbuffers, protobuf and raw structs. This is already years old so it might not be accurate anymore, but what surprised me most was how different flatbuffers was compared to raw struct, as the design sounds like it should be merely extension to what is essentially raw struct + making sure the data can be portably encoded and decoded.

Penrose would say that logicians can’t compute consciousness, so no wonder they don’t agree with his argument; computers (logicians) literally can’t! That’s Penrose’s very argument, which so few seem to get.

I hope you're right, but we seem to be sliding further into the dystopia, not out of it. Notice as time marches on the shrinking number of 'blacklist' FATF countries and the end of non-KYC/AML finance world-wide. IMO dai will go the way of bearer bonds and shares. The fact that all that underlying capital is in real-world bonds/paper/notes means cooperative financial task forces have these stablecoins by the balls and soon they will start squeezing.

I worked at a healthcare company at my last job and dealt with the X12 EDI. We had several ETL processes just to convert X12 834s (benefits/membership enrollment) into a common file format because every client seemed to do something different that was not part of the spec. It was hard because we would get the data from clients and since we were taking their money we had to accommodate their butchering of the specs. The thing is, though, that many of the files we received were generated from a COBOL program and then moved to our SFTP server. It isn't like there are many (if any) COBOL libraries that validate or enforce the standards and it isn't like they would be able to just update their COBOL programs to make API calls either.

I find Go an exceptionally weird language.

Multiple return values and constant nil checking and error handling is odd - there are far better patterns for handling this but Go chose something that looks easy but doesn't scale well. I have other issues but writing good Go code that is easy to read feels very difficult.

Very short function parameters seems to be idiomatic but very odd as well. I never understood the desire to condense meaning as much as possible versus a more legible approach.

Rust can check for type error when compiling, which is helpful on development.

The runtime exception is unavoidable when using unwrap() but it's reasonable since not all kind of errors can be eliminated statically.

However I suppose most python don't prefer to deal with (complex/generic) type system.

My general feeling on python developers is they prioritize "speed of development" more than "speed of execution".

Some people even call them data scientist instead of programmer to highlight their focus is not on the programming aspect.
The obvious point is that everyone should mix it, not only the very rich people. Of course that means that something like Monero is far superior, since every transaction is always hidden and "mixed".
Are you sure? A forest grew on my grandpa's field automatically about 15 years after he stopped using it (mostly as a cow pasture). Nobody planted anything, we just left it be.

In 2008 this was a grass field, we made campfires there. Now it's a forest: https://goo.gl/maps/rSeprtz7orYAwVPY8

In fact if you don't mow a lawn for a few months saplings start appearing :) Forests are perfectly good at spreading by themselves, they evolved for millions of years to do that. If you want more trees you just need to let them grow.
