For that, to start with, you'd need to be able to create a feedback loop of awk's output back to itself as input. For it not to interfere with rendering, it needs to be on a separate file descriptor from stdout.

I found this snippet on stackexchange showing how exactly that is possible on Linux.

> echo hello | gawk '!length{exit(0)} {print; print substr($0,2) >"/dev/fd/3"; fflush()}' 3>/dev/fd/0

This "renders" on stdout then feeds itself more input on /dev/fd/3.

The Federalist papers were political opinions - not law, and certainly not the Constitution.

They provide insight to what some of the founders may have thought - but then there is reality which is what we have now.

Your entire point seems to be, some people broke the law and got away with it, therefore SCOTUS is now just a thing we sometimes pay attention to when it's convenient.

That is simply not reality. It's populist, as-of late, due to some decisions that were unpopular but Constitutional. People are largely ignorant of government and the Constitution, so it's really easy to whip people up into a frenzy over some perceived evil-doing or something.

Don't like a SCOTUS decision? Get Congress to overrule it. That's how it works - there is nothing else except crimes that sometimes go unpunished or take years to be undone.

We teach this stuff in grade school because it is, in fact, that simple.

Tried to use it to extend my Funky Christmas playlist (exemplars: James Brown’s “Soulful Christmas”, The Band’s “Christmas Must Be Tonight”, any “Lean On Me” but mine is by Music Travel Love, Train’s “Christmas Island”, Pomplamoose’s take on “Here we come a-caroling”, Twin Bandit’s “Rise Up Shepherd”)... So like I am not expecting it to get the full genre correct, because the genre is Christmas songs that can simultaneously sit in the background AND surprise you, it's Pat Monahan and he's singing a Christmas song and it's about how he's gonna do Christmas in a resort in Hawaii this year because eff the snow.

Problem is that 90% of these results are not even debatably Christmas songs?

Right.
The developer should cover for the actions of Twitter because they decided to build their business on top of Twitter, fully reliant on Twitter's goodwill around API access. They are the one who took on that risk, and it's irresponsible and unethical to push the consequences of that risk onto their own customers.

Their average customer doesn't know or care about API platforms. They just want to access Twitter via a nice, premium app they paid for. If they can no longer do that, they deserve a refund of the remaining unused value of their subscription.
RP2 is quad-core, 900MHz and 1000000kB of RAM, a behemoth compared to the single-core 20 MHz and 2kB of RAM chips (ATMega328p aka Arduino Uno, which actually runs at 16MHz) I was comparing it to in the embedded world.

My point stands: Raspberry Pi is huge. Even old models like RP2 give you 6-orders-of-magnitude more RAM and 2-orders-of-magnitude more Compute power. Its just not the kind of processor I think of that needs to be run "bare-metal", or even "something more efficient than Linux needs to be installed on here".

Its interesting that Ultibo is aiming for the Rasp. Pi. I'm curious what kinds of use cases people will find for it.

It does say on there they are training it on the Pile training data. And they have this bit comparing inference with GPT2-XL:

RWKV-3 1.5B on A40 (tf32) = always 0.015 sec/token, tested using simple pytorch code (no CUDA), GPU utilization 45%, VRAM 7823M

GPT2-XL 1.3B on A40 (tf32) = 0.032 sec/token (for ctxlen 1000), tested using HF, GPU utilization 45% too (interesting), VRAM 9655M

So it looks about twice as fast for inference while using only about 80% as much VRAM. Obviously at such a small size, just 1.5B, you can run it even on consumer GPUs but you could do that with GPT2 as well. If it remains 80% of VRAM usage when scaled up, we’re still talking 282GB once it’s the size of BLOOM w/ 176B parameters. So yeah still 8x A100 40GB cards I guess. Not going to be the Stable Diffusion of LLMs.
Web software is incredibly simple. Having someone's ruby code doesn't really help you much. Hackers just try a few SQL injections, stuff script tags into all of the form fields, and call it a day. More advanced hacks on webapps are virtually unheard of. Certainly custom-designing a hack for some company isn't going to happen. It's a waste of time, because chances are you won't find some complicated hack that wasn't already exposed through the spamming techniques I mentioned above. And most larger, "worthwhile" companies tend to run their own in-house CI and not use Circle.

I've been experimenting with it to write biographies about different artists that I know. The artists don't have any particularly outstanding online presences, so ChatGPT doesn't know anything about them on its own. It also won't reach out to external webpages which is understandable

Instead, I've been basically describing the artist to ChatGPT and telling it to restate or rephrase what I said as if it were a professional bio. Results were not significantly better than what I would casually write on my own. I noticed a lot of repetition in the results too. I can't blame it for having limited information to work with, but it is interesting to see it work at least
I wonder which no-fly list it is. Is it a government no-fly list that would contain suspected international criminals and terrorists, or an airline's private no-fly list that would contain people who cause a ruckus on flights, drunks, anti-maskers, and so on. Maybe one shared between airlines? I would imagine that second list has grown substantially since 2020 given all the craziness airlines have had to deal with since then.
No, you're paying a continuing subscription for an app that lets you interact with Twitter. If that app stops letting you interact with Twitter, then you absolutely are entitled to a refund of the remaining portion of the subscription.

If Twitterific was a one-time purchase and not a subscription service, I would absolutely agree that refunds are probably not warranted. (Though someone who bought the app yesterday might feel differently.)

It's flat-out gross that the Twitterific developer isn't pro-actively giving pro-rated refunds to their customers, and is instead asking for charity.

To some degree, because we keep recreating the truly essential components the crude "Turing machine completeness" way. In time as we analyze the resulting models, we may find what patterns emerge and optimize for them. The result will be smaller, faster models that perform like larger slower ones.

It was pretty rosey for me, even with all the challenges, emotions and anxiety. I have experienced similar challenges, emotions and anxiety in jobs that were much less satisfying.

I think the moments are out there still; you just have to seek them out. I wouldn't say working on Apple ][, Lisa, early Mac or other early PC efforts were as obvious and groundbreaking as they seem now. I think about a lot of parallel efforts going on at the time that I wish I could go back in a time machine to work on: Symbolics Workstations, early Wavefront/Alias software, Self, Smalltalk, Dylan and other languages that didn't become mainstream.

There is so much out there that isn't over in computers and technology. It might be helpful to think about things that seem impossible, crazy and totally economically unviable. Sometimes we can let finding markets, solving scaleable problems and generating 10x returns for our investors cloud our vision.

> The pickup artists are on the bleeding edge of the "craft" if you can call it that. It shouldn't be surprising that the stuff they do (or at least the stuff that works) filters down.

I had a friend who used the "craft" and had enough success with it that he was utterly convinced he could get literally any woman to sleep with him. He failed to notice that all of his "marks" could be grouped into roughly two sets of women:

- Those who were unaware of the game being played. They were highly insecure and not intelligent or not socially aware enough to realize they were being manipulated.
- Those who were aware of the game, and were playing it themselves. They were consciously looking to get laid, and they would sit in judgement of their suitors, sleeping with whoever could navigate their "shit tests" and put on an impressive enough performance. An odd sort of "game recognizes game" fencing match.

Personally I thought these performances were an embarrassing dog-and-pony show, but there's no accounting for taste.

Anyway, my point is that some of this stuff really does "work", but it's not nearly as universal as its practitioners like to believe, and the men who practice it are often being gamed themselves. Anyone who is aware of the game (even subconsciously) and not interested in playing it is immune.
I think that, subscriptions are fine for items that require a subscription. Sort of circular reasoning but, for example, OnStar or onboard wifi or other things of that nature makes sense as a subscription.

You people can downvote me all you want and the fact remains that the costs to make the switch are too high to happen any time soon. The real world isn't your company where you can just mandate things. Stakeholders, such as voters, get a say. Voters probably wouldn't support this if there was a net benefit in cost, but there's not, not anymore.

Of all of the things that are broken about the US, everyone here wants to fix the one thing that's not: our ambidexterity with units. Every school child learns both. We're terrible at raising kids to be bilingual, but we manage to teach them both metric and imperial units.

Once you concede that the metric system is already in de jure use in the US and in de facto use in domains where it's best to use it, you lose all kinds of benefit from switches. The low hanging fruit has been picked. You're left with empty non-empirical arguments like ... ummm... it's better to use one system. It is! But we're not starting from scratch.

Seriously, of all of the things I have posted on HN none has gotten more downvotes than saying that we don't need to go 100% metric in the US, I could speculate as to why, but it sure seems like this is some kind of nerd anti-normie shibboleth. It shouldn't be.

Go ahead, look up the figures. Then decide if it's still worth it to you. If it is, then try and convince enough policymakers not to just support it as the US does but to change everything over. You won't win that war. There has to be some specific need for the change.

'It would be cool' or 'it soothes my OCD' or whatever aren't enough to change something this massive.

Most problems it's a dodge to say "the money is better spent on X" but when you're talking about significant fractions of GDP that's just not how it is. We could do so much to improve people's lives with these sums of money.

Reminder that this is all about the US government internally sticking with letter sized paper. A4 paper is still A4 when measured in inches (which can be done exactly since inches are defined in terms of meters).

> blatantly wrong info being spewed with 105% confidence

There are some approaches. For example in this paper they say truth has a certain logical consistency that is lacking in hallucinations and deception. So they find this latent direction that indicates truth in a frozen LLM. This actually works better than asking the model to self evaluate by text generation, or training with RLHF.

"Discovering Latent Knowledge in Language Models Without Supervision" https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.03827

There's also a video with the first author: "Making LLMs Say The Truth" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSQ495wpWXs&t=1515s

Btw, I think this is one of the deepest discussions about LLM hallucinations and alignment I ever saw. Worth a watch, even if it is a bit long. Not every day something like this comes long.

The API third party clients use to connect was disconnected. The app literally cannot connect to Twitter anymore. There is nothing they can do, other than writing a web scraper, which isn't worth it.

I don't agree with the unannounced disconnection of the API, as there was room for compromise, such as third party clients only available to people who pay the subscription to Twitter, but alas, the new corporate direction is that they want the ads to go through, and that wasn't happening at all with the third party clients.

Define “work” if you don’t mind. There’s currently a power play going on about the national debt, wealth inequality is bad and getting worse, tax money gets wasted like it’s going out of style, social security isn’t and has never been solvent, the bigger government gets the more abstracted away from real people it becomes, and we all just stick our heads in the sand and ignore it because there is nothing the common person can do to effect change. Don’t tell me “go vote” because I do and it does fuck all nothing to change anything.

People adapt and say “meh it’s working well enough” because they don’t have a sane alternative.

The idea that emergent behaviour in unicellular colonies hints at the emergence of rational governance structures begs the question, what do the priors think? I'm not seeing nation states, global corporates or the music industry gently going into that dark night...

If governance we have feels a bit mindless, It would pay to remember it does have a mind, or an aggregation of minds at play. They are the archetypes of mentality which seeks power. It doesn't feel to me like we get a rational Cambrian governance which excludes them, and one which includes them will tend to concentration of power.

> if “they” is being added to style guides as a way to refer to a singular human without implying any gender

Hasn’t it always been the case that you could use “they” as a way to refer to a singular human without implying any gender?

I seem to recall that “they” has been in use in that manner long before non-binary arguments were something I’d heard about.
As I recall, Karl Popper is generally thought to be a major contributor to the approach of modern scientific methods. Having worked in simulation and simulation validation before, simulation is a method that is powerful, but adds complexity in that you're basically running a meta verification loop on top of direct experimentation loop, and people can get lost in that complexity if you aren't careful with how you keep your simulation in touch with reality.
Right, and even if GPT-3 could summarize the thousand-line diff in a sensible way, without introducing any falsehoods, it would still be strictly worse than the developer writing a sentence explaining what they think they've accomplished with the commit.

It's just the same thing as with comments and "self-documenting code". The code tells you what (and if written carefully, it may be even somewhat effective at it). It can't tell you why. Neither can a GPT-3 summary of it.

His point is, the material standard of living is low as ever or even lower. This surprises people, but the bare necesities of the lowest level of maslow's heirarchy of needs are now more expensive than they have been in a long time.

Just look at the cost of shelter. Housing costs sooo much more than it did 50 years ago or even 200 years ago. During the time of Henry david thoreau, an average house cost 800 days of unskilled labor wages (meaning 800$, the average unskilled worker made 1$ per day). Today, it's over 5000 days of unskilled labor wages when you take into account property taxes. the difference in shelter cost is so enormous, that back then 1830s, mortgages were often just 10 years. And thoreau thought even that was too much.
