Without the wasps crawling into the sugar dispensers at every single outdoor café in Germany all summer long, people would eat the sugar and create a diabetes epidemic.

At least that was my impression in Berlin; wasps got all the sugar, Berliners stayed pretty thin for the most part.
Cheers. I thought the ShartGPT comment was funny, and I tried to reprocess their comment as a two year old child, but fortunately ChatGPT was ignoring me. Unfortunately now it is working (lightly edited second result): "Dew yoo no wen [fart] I can use ShartGPT so I can make my writin [ptooie] sound like I'm pooping [tooot] while writin [rip]?"

Dystopian? Only if some dark social pressure forced us all to do it, a là Black Mirror. We accept language translation tools, and I see this as similarly useful for anybody who doesn't speak English natively. English is my first language, and it works better than googling for a wide variety of language tasks, and zero adverts!

Zardoz84 seemed to be learning English, and ChatGPT used intelligently can help the autodidact: certainly cheaper and probably far better than many professionals would I think (I loathe traditional language teaching methods).

Maybe the type of person to read a gaming thread is more likely to be immured in 4chan style communications, and be sensitive to sarcasm and snark? Mr GPT said (slightly edited) "Users may say that the reply was snarky because it comes across as condescending and critical of the original comment, suggesting that the writer needs to improve their written English. Additionally, the suggestion to avoid the words "fun" and "funny" may be seen as overly prescriptive and dismissive of the writer's language choices.". Fair call, well said Mr GPT.

If you demand from me to spend time on more detailed explanation and you are unwilling to do the same, then I prefer to spend time on something else.
I agree.
I find it especially odd, that people think that programming and computer science is a complex topic that takes years to learn and master, but complain about the appearance of jargon with an appeal to "ease of use".

If the concepts are the hard part to learn, then operators and technical speech are the least of your worries, but a mandatory part on the path to acquiring the art.
The most important thing math has shown me, is that notation and precision of speech take a huge part in making things clear. Yet people get heart attacks when this is applied to informatics.

M1 boot sequence requires some code to be installed on the system. Once the execution jumps to the bootloader the rest can be run from anywhere, such as USB stick.

It still requires adding a new partition with bootloader and some other files required by Apple for successfully verifying the signatures on everything, so it's not a "live mode".
Do you have experience with such a hob? I'd like to get one, but have found little info except marketing from manufacturers.

I would assume those would be mostly useful for frying/searing meat, vegetables, and eggs with little oil. As soon as you have more liquid in the pot you won't be able to control the temperature by measuring the temp at the bottom.

"OMG what about battery fires!" is so worn out in the EV discussions I don't bother to be nice when rebutting it.
Are you aware that a car parked isn't at all the same scenario?

It is not like remodeling an RV is going to affect the gas tank. But it sure will make a difference to the battery usage. A gas tank doesn't age in the same way as a battery either, and we don't have as much experience with the kind of battery packs used in cars either (and they differ wildly between models).
And that it was economically feasible to do so.

Thanks for pointing this out, there's actually a mismatch between the JSON fixture used to load this article into the DB and the raw text from which that JSON should have been generated: there's a missing token there. Frankly it's just good (or perhaps bad) fortune that it broke in such a way that it kind of made sense without that word there.

I will get that fixed up along with a general rephrasing/look over by a native again.

You guys are thinking too much. The correct answer is whatever the teacher said the answer is in a previous class. If the teacher said in class that the sky is black, and the exam answers are: A) blue, B) black, C) white, D) grey... then the sky is B) black.

I think the most enraging thing is that the article is using the term “computer science” graduate as a label for all tech workers.

If you’re a bright talented CS graduate you’re going to find a good job with good pay even in this environment. Maybe some people may not find their “dream job” straight out of school and they will have to wait out some cyclic hiring slowdown for a year or so but it’s hardly some terrible end of the tech dream for the youngsters.
Also, we are working on a private search, where you can store any articles, video links with Accintia and then when you want to search within your articles you can do so.

I've had to embed a distributed cache into our product, which is a server customers run themselves... I got it working pretty quickly, then spent lots of time testing everything on Docker containers to make sure the distributed part of it was working.

Finally, I started testing it on Kubernetes because a lot of customers seem to use that in production. That forced me to work on the following things (after I had to learn details of how the cache works and how to configure it correctly, use its API, design a good integration for it into our product etc.):

- Kubernetes basics, like what a pod, service, deployment etc. is.

- Helm charts for configuring everything (lots of YAML).

- Terraform to kick off the infrastructure in the "cloud".

- Minikube to run things locally.

- Using Docker K8s as Minikube didn't work well on my Mac M1 for some "reason".

- Installing Lens, a UI to make sense of the hundreds of pieces I was now juggling.

- Configuring the cloud environment with the right permissions for devs to be able to use it.

- Network configuration so nodes can "talk" to each other, without exposing things on the Internet for no reason.

And probably a few dozen more little things that ate up all the time I had. Designing and writing the code to make things work locally and in a Docker container (running Docker compose) was pretty easy and took me a couple of weeks, including a lot of testing.... but once I started with the k8s, cloud stuff... I've been on it for a few months now :( and things are still not working reliably in "certain cases" (everything that changes seems to break something). It's a real nightmare and took all the fun out of the project for me. Really makes "programming" something else entirely that I would be very happy to leave to a good sysadmin to handle.

I do not use Emacs, although I can still comment, about the specific things they mentioned.

They are right it does not have to be VS Code; if you like that, then you can use VS Code. However, if you want specific features, then that is a different thing, and will have to be considered specifically.

If you want JavaScript in Emacs, it could be an external extension, maybe; it probably should not be included by default. However, if the model is different enough from Lisp then it might be hard to fit; nevertheless, such an extension might help if you need to run JavaScript codes designed for other editors that do use JavaScripts, without having to rewrite them (polyfills will be possible, if necessary). Lisp alone probably isn't ideal though, and you should be allowed to write extensions in C as well (I don't know if this is already possible; maybe it is).

WYSIWYG editing should have "reveal-codes" function also; without such thing, WYSIWYG isn't very good.

One thing I think would want to have in text editor is capability of non-Unicode text encodings which don't convert to/from Unicode. You just should not expect that everything is conversion in one unified character set; it does not really work.
Going one step further, challenge yourself not to use raw language constructs, but dive deep into assembly.

It should talk about his positive aspects (good policy moves (e.g. hospital pricing transparency), etc.) for a question like this. It can, at best, note that public perception doesn't align with the prompt. Going against the prompt is not a good response.
How does the parse tree get represented? Who or what chooses the mapping? They have to be different every sentence. E.g., the word "can" maps onto many different meanings and functions. Your question is about internal representation, but skips the process, and is about a representation that isn't the end of the process either.

The idea, common to many of competing theories of human NLP, is that language is to a large extent modular (e.g. recognizing words can be done independent of e.g. a sentence context), while on the other hand, the context (often thought of as feedback from other modules/brain parts) has some influence over it (e.g. the recognition of a misspelled word is easily influenced by the sentence it appears in). The "layers" of language processing then are word, structure, meaning, and pragmatic. The brain being incredibly interconnected, this picture is simplistic, but both behavioral experiments and neurological findings support it to a large extent: it's not one big neural soup. There are other, related processes, which are often left out when talking about language, but e.g. gesture and visual information definitely play a role as well.

The parse tree does exist somewhere in the brain, but it cannot map to connections. Instead, it will have to encode some relation between working memory, the large (and largely ununderstood) space of our mind that contains the concepts, and the role in the sentence and further context. Encoding the "pointer address" (because that's what your model sounds like) of the word is simply not enough. It will be passed along at some point, but is in itself insufficient. E.g. in I want the red ball, not the blue ball, the receiver needs to distinguish objects referenced by the exact same word with the exact same meaning. Having a pointer to the lexical concept ball will not help.

I think showing "that its wrong" only gives insights into your own mental model, not into language processing in general. It is too undeveloped for further discussion.
Totally. And when the coverage on tech is this way it practically degenerates into tabloid journalism. It’s not even useful journalism. It’s just clickbait entertainment for dorks that enjoy reading about the doom of tech.

This is a gishgallop of modern pedophilia-associating talking points from the first sentence onward. ("sexually regressive trend of calling our children's bodies defective and broken because they don't match the viewers' sexual stereotypes" WHAT??)

There's just so much that is horrifically wrong and sounds like a FOX News watcher's sweaty fantasy of what they think transgenderism is.

It absolutely is a partisan issue, only insofar as the "classic liberals" on HackerNews who are promoting this transphobia haven't understood yet that they are not as centrist as they'd like to believe.

I don't know where an of these facts come from, but let's just knock out some bulletpoints:

* Transgenderism is testable, evaluatable, and has little to do with gender stereotypes like a boy playing with dolls

* A boy can absolutely wear a dress to elementary school without a teacher starting talk of transition.

* But you're also dreaming if you think at any point - 30 years ago, 15 years ago, or now - a boy can wear a dress to school and not get bullied by a meaningful percentage of his male peers.

* All transgender counselling starts with pre-existing condition consideration. As a trans friend of mine said "The first thing my transition counsellor asked me to do was quit my job. We needed to make sure I wasn't just depressed because I hated my job so much"

* Is my claim about low rates of transition regret incorrect, or is it that my comparison is exceptionally misleading because it IS correct? Which is it?

For a few reasons:

- More efficient codes

- Be able to interact with anything else on the system, that can be interacted by C codes, including external programs

- More control, than using JavaScripts

A web browser designed only for advanced users, who are assumed to know what they are doing, would be a good thing to have.

Remember when there was a period of time when camera manufacturers dabbled with adding FLIR to their consumer cameras? Sony did that and some others tried to follow, but it all was quickly wrapped up due to a massive amount of abuse. The cameras were mainly used to film women rather than to identify thermal leaks in insulation.

Probably the reason for the subpar FLIR resolution on this phone as well.
> that means you could just hire the machine instead and wouldn't need to complain about it.

No, it doesn't. You're assuming that the test and the job are the same thing which they don't have to be. My point is that you can have tests that are different from the job itself which are still useful tests. Then you don't care whether a large language model can pass the test too.

I am working on the same thing. I pulled a few hundred papers I read in the last couple of years and my full online comment history going back 10 years, extracted text and split into chunks. Then embedded the chunks with sentence transformers and indexed with annoy. This allows me to get text snippets by query and add them to the prompt.

OpenAI hints at this functionality because it included "Browsing: disabled" in the prompt. Probably in the future they are going to flip the switch.
I'm actually concerned that the results are so good with such fundamentally simple techniques. If what we do can be so closely simulated by something so primitive, how much do we actually use our vaunted intelligence, and how much of our society and its output is not driven by it?
Good. Slightly surprising (US lawmakers and similar love Boeing - remember when they pushed Bombardier to the brik of bankruptcy over a plane competing in a market Boeing wasn't even in?), but very good.

Fuck Boeing and their cost cutting unsafe designs that killed people. They need to fix themselves (fix the culture that led to this, realign their priorities), and an exemption is the last thing that would have helped with that.

Sadly no, and it's unlikely for any OS to be livebooted on Apple ARM systems (effortlessly, like on x86 BIOS/UEFI). macOS does this cheat of "copying bootfiles it needs in internal storage", and it'll be likely that Asahi (and any other OS) would need to set up a permanent partition just so they can pretend to boot up external drives.

I’ve had limited success combining the results of pyannotate with whisper transcripts (based on time stamps).

It’s ok, but the quality of speaker identification is nowhere near as good as the transcription itself.

I’d love to see models which try and use stereo information in recordings to solve the problem. Or, given a fixed camera and static speakers, I thought it should even be possible to use video to add information about who is speaking. There doesn’t seem to be anything like that right now tho.
