Because it's presented without any explanation to the rating system, my instinct is that some of them are rated for the traditional "cultural shock" reasons or "more offal than I'm used to" reasons, but some of them seem to be rated low due to "difficult to recreate to an appropriate standard", or just "literally impossible"?

I mean, it could just be "rated by visitors to tasteatlas.com" and it's not weighted by number of votes...

MVP's are supposed to be temporary, that's a weird cherry pick. Regardless, code is contextual and relies on so many things other than its own quality at the time of that assessment being made that to say it's been fixed permanently, as if there's some Platonic ideal code that can be written, is, in my view, something I'd only hear from someone new to the industry or not in the industry at all, like Graeber. The job is about solving problems in the clearest way possible over time, not once. Managing change is of central importance. If your product is good, it will change. If it changes, bugs will inevitably be introduced. That's not shoddy practice or the fault of some poor architecture decision.

I imagine that the only bug that gets fixed "permanently" is in a product that nobody uses enough for it to need change. Like some failed MVPs.

In the short term, I don't think current-generation LLMs are particularly useful for CRUD apps.

I honestly have no idea what next-generation LLM performance will look like, but it could _possibly_ be used to generate entire simple CRUD apps.

In the long term this is a bit like asking how ICBMs will affect fortress wall construction.
Sadly, when towns and cities become dominated by large vehicles that barely fit in parking spaces, can't see pedestrians over their hood and around their enormous pillars, and shine their bright LED headlights directly into the eyes of folks driving more sensibly sized vehicles... everyone pays the cost of the large vehicles.

I've experienced a lot of crosswalks, sidewalks, bike lanes, and car lanes that enormous vehicles have blocked because they don't fit in a normal parking space. It creates dangerous situations very easily. And with the poor daylighting (cross-traffic visibility at intersections) in US cities, these giant vehicles make it even harder to drive, walk, or bike across town because parked or stopped vehicles completely block your view of traffic.

Growing car sizes is a failure of government safety regulation, and unfortunately I don't see much benefit for society from it.
The fact that we’re reduced to that really bothers me. How can we possibly be free if we’re not free to end our own suffering? Forcing our loved ones to die of thirst is not compassionate at all. Compassionate would be recognizing that the choice to end one’s own suffering is a legitimate choice and removing the legal hurdle.

"Burn it all and filter" is basically pyrolysis - use high temperatures to break chemical bonds and turn complex substances into much simpler substances which can then be reused.

Problem is the energy input required for those high temperatures. It costs money to consume that energy, quite often more money than you make by reselling the simpler substances that come out the end of your pyrolysis process.

if I’m understanding this correctly this is a way for LLMs to call external APIs by showing them special key words that call functions

I assume the output of the LLM is monitored by fixie and the result of the function inserted allow the LLM to respond again?

It happens. Writing the test puts you in the headspace of “assume the problem is already solved”, which is sometimes wildly more effective. There’s some story (that I hope an archivist can link) of someone writing a shell script to verify some giant program. Well, turns out the script could just _replace_ the program. Ran way faster. Sales wouldn’t have that, though.
CEO of AI company here. A gold rush and a bubble look exactly the same at the start. This is a gold rush. Just like the beginning of the PC, internet or smartphone.

Yes it's wild that OpenAI raised money at 1,000X earnings but the tech giants keep mountains of money on hand at all times for just these moments.

Right now it's a "jump ball" in just about all tech. LLM threaten all the big incumbents because AI is racing "across the chasm" much faster than most people expected. AI is a new baseline expectation for customers and Google doesn't appear ready for that. It's unlikely other big incumbents are ready either.

For many years we've been working on machine learning to enhance the productivity of our client's employees, now it's almost possible to just replace those employees. AI will do to white collar work what the assembly line did to blue collar work. The ethical implications of that should be considered by people smarter than me.

Now to be clear I'm not crazy! These architectures are not going to become self aware or anything, and this article while thoughtful spends a lot of words picking on C3... whose pitch as best I can tell is just short of a manic fever dream promising an all knowing general intelligence. That's a dead end, and yes like any gold rush a lot of money will be lost but a lot of money will be made as well.

I recall way back reading about HSV that one of the reasons the virus is "incurable" is that it evolved a kind of staggered active reproduction/latent phase, such that people would experience herpes outbreaks repeatedly, while enough of the viral load was undetectable to the immune system to repeat the cycle. Researchers hypothesized that a medication could be developed which would activate the entire reservoir for a singular, more severe outbreak which would give the immune system an opportunity definitively sweep up and eliminate most or all of the extant pathological cells and be rid of the infection for good.

Not sure whatever came of that research, but could something similar be done with HIV?
the startup is D2C, influencer marketing-adjacent services space (product not yet arrived at, still doing user interviews)

startup has no money and cannot hire. raising funds is difficult since founders are inexperienced and there is no project proposal yet.

the startup's operational problem is that no product has been produced to create a feedback loop with customers. The solution to the market problem is unknown.

I think this will work because the team is stuck in the problem space and need a jolt to begin solving the problem. However they are doing 4-5 user intervews/week and apparently have a Persona

I was wondering : is it a client side JS transformation? Yes.

Then how will the developer monetize it? Sending it to server for something, anything? No, rather watermarking the image client side. Or NOT doing it if you pay.

It would be interesting to watch this project succeed. I want it to. That will mean there's good business case in similar projects.

1. In theory Yes, cause too many updates, too little time. In practice, this will turn into Yet another source of information to visit, so it better be good.

3. Because LLMs/Vector-search are getting “good enough” with Text, I think there is a potential here to bypass all the traditional feed-like UI, and go straight for the "give me a summary of the top updates since last time for all js libs on my list" kind of simple NLP search UI

It just seems like a bit of a cluster fuck, I have no idea who's leading what part, who to talk to. Everything just seemed a bit all over the place, I looked on discord, some people seemed to want all the data int he world, while others thought it should be a small foundational model.

I took a look at the annotator frontend the other day, yikes, that takes way to long to annotate, and not enough clarity on how to annotate. Sure if you get 10 people to annotate each task, you can avg the results, but will you get that many people? And you're calling it data collection, that's not data collection, that's data annotation.

> Collect high-quality human generated Instruction-Fulfillment samples (prompt + response), goal >50k.

Okay, why not use some of the existing models, to create some of these samples, and train on them.

I think you need:
- an architecture plan for information retrieval, search intent
- a better, faster to annotate annotator
- what data do you want to actually collect? only those 50k? or do you need to train a foundational model, or use an existing model?

What about some look at whats already been done? Like blenderBot, LangChain, etc. I love building stuff from scratch, but... at least some analysis, of the issues and problems, and why this method will work.

I guess that can happen. I suspect in the majority of cases, you keep your shitpay even if you become a supremely efficient pillar.

Employers are not friends, they're businesses who thinks like psychopaths, so manage your expectations and get as much money as you can from them. You need them but they need you, so get the juice and move on when it gets hairy.
This seems incredibly short-sided.

Graduate students are the “individual contributors” of academia. A Computer Science PhD student typically makes somewhere between $25K and $40K. At well-regarded universities, the bar is relatively high. Most of my office mates in Graduate School either had an FAANG/high-finance offer or actually did 1-2 years at one of those employers before starting their PhD program. Universities get skilled labor at a six figure discount. Professors are also comparatively under-paid.

Maintaining a productive university environment is not easy. They are delicate environments that can go sour very quickly under bad leadership. And when they go sour, everything grinds to a halt in a way that's difficult to see from the outside before it's way too late.

I serve very regularly on grant review panels both for my employer and for federal agencies. To be a bit blunt, I'll probably have a bit of a bias against especially junior Temple faculty... that might not be fair, but shrugs my priors about the quality of new Temple faculty and their ability to get good work done in Temple's environment have cratered watching this play out.

Hopefully someone in Temple's admin reads this.

Tax vehicles by weight? Those of us who choose to drive a sedan or a subcompact should be rewarded for wearing the road less and more efficiently using space. Large vehicles are fine to use for trips and jobs that require that large vehicle... but clearly gas prices aren't enough to disincentivize a huge chunk of American suburban residents from owning 4runners and F150s.
Are you suggesting an arbitrary celestial signal containing a payload that can execute on heretofore unknown hardware/software of virtually any progeny? Conceivable? Sure. Also about as likely as chatgpt solving the remaining millennium prize problems or spitting out an algorithm to efficiently reverse selected public Bitcoin addresses to their private keys in actionable time. That said, an extraterrestrial object of artificial origin that could interface and hijack wireless communication devices is far more plausible.
The workers will always lose out because the employer has more power. Accept that reality, and that the simple counter-balance is workers organizing.

It behooves you to show evidence that this is happening. So far you’re generalizing a fair bit while not citing, well, anything.
Road damage is proportional to the vehicle weight to the fourth power. We all pay for larger vehicles.
>As a father of a baby I wonder what higher education is going to be in 20 years time.

I see a long and continuing decline of all of society in most English-speaking countries right now. I think in 50 years, English may still be the universal language of business and international commerce, but the Anglophone countries are going to be very different from now, probably collapsed and/or broken apart, and definitely not leading the world. They're certainly not a place I'd ever want to raise a child, especially America.

Why is this so hard to read?
EDIT: Right, I see your reasoning in another comment. So, if I understand correctly, you believe that due to having agency in that situation it lowered stress and fear levels below whatever your threshold for (severe) trauma is? That's sounds plausible with my understanding (but I'm also a layman on the subject).

Wordsmithing is hard lol.

---

I think it show great... something, but nobody is sure what. Maybe it's emotional resilience, or something neurological in how your brain processes fear and memories. Maybe it's a combination of those—and other—things (since they can be related).

I'm saying this because I think saying "because I stood my ground" is a dangerous message to spread around, though.

It also does a lot of people a bit of disservice because many who have PTSD didn't get it through inaction. Firefighters get it, soldier get it, doctors get it, etc.

Also, least time I read, current understanding—even if not great—doesn't support your claim that actions during the stressful/traumatic moments are relevant (at least not to the degree you make it seem). There's some small evidence that feelings of helplessness has an influence, but it's inconclusive since helplessness just manifests extra stress (but not the majority of it, and it's not universally present).

And finally a disclaimer for the above: I have zero qualifications on these subjects. I've always been curious of it because of my traumatic past having lived with CPTSD most of my life (not PTSD; they're different, but they have some "mechanical" similarities). So, I've read a few books on CPTSD and PTSD and healing from them, but they weren't academic literature.

I'm glad you came out okay from that situation, though.
> They have nothing to lose.

Which is what I really think the core of the problem is. These people make decisions that can ruin of a whole host of people, but face no accountability for it.

I'm of the opinion that there should always be a remedy available for those wronged, and the ones doing the wronging should hope it's only via the court system.
If you're constructing this to rely on my prior knowledge both of the world and of English, then I must remind you that those are things the LLM does not have. We have to be careful to not allow our human inferential biases from distorting our thinking about that the models are doing.
From TFA:

> in an attempt to steal credentials and second-factor tokens.

> After successfully obtaining a single employee’s credentials

So was the attempt to steal second-factor successful or was it the account of an employee without 2FA that was compromised?

Because then...

On the page as to how to set up 2FA linked from TFA:

> "After setup, you may be asked to log out and log back in to your account. Moving forward, you’ll need to enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app every time you log in to Reddit."

There's 2FA and 2FA. TOTP like Google Authenticator giving these six digits are easy to phish.

I much prefer FIDO(2) devices and the webauthn protocol (Chrome doesn't even allow U2F anymore but webauthn is backward compatible with old security keys), especially when the device uses a different method for registering a service the first time and for then authenticating to that service (for example by using a different PIN for registering and for authenticating or by displaying on the device itself if you're registering or authenticating).

I don't think the argument about DALLe would work - it deals with pixels instead of words, but it's fundamentally a different form of language, made of different mathematical patterns (obscured to us because, unlike symbolic manipulation, our visual system handles high-level patterns in images without engaging our conscious awareness).

I do agree about grounding is needed. All our language is expressing or abstracting concepts related to how we perceive and interact with reality in continuous space and time. This perception and interaction is a huge correlating factor that our ML models don't have access to - and we're expecting them to somehow tease it out from a massive dump of weakly related snapshots of recycled high-level human artifacts, be they textual or visual. No surprise the models would rather latch onto any kind of statistical regularity in the data, and get stuck in a local minimum.

Now I don't believe solution is actual embodiment - that would be constraining the model too hard. But I do think the model needs to be exposed to the concepts of time and causality - which means it needs to be able to interact with the thing it's learning about, and feed the results back into itself, accumulating them over time.
If you believe these people, ADCC (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity) is sufficient to both prevent and clear HSV, and an appropriate vaccine can induce the appropriate antibodies to pull it off.

Of course, this seems to be suffering the usual fate of any vaccine technology other than spiffy mRNA vaccines against extremely urgent and well funded diseases: a neat proof of concept and some pre-clinical studies happen, followed by years of radio silence.

It's a problem with Python in general:

1) Circular dependencies (and you don't want your house of cards falling down if your IDE/isort decides to reorder a few things); 2) (slow/expensive) expressions that are evaluated on import; 3) startup time required for the module loader to resolve everything at start.

I got my first customer cold calling. It was hard work but in the end we went to Bill the movers office (which has trash everywhere and a bat). Bill paid us a few hundred dollars to build a new website. We ran ads for his site and he paid us per lead. I expanded that business until I stumbled over a product we could sell more efficiently- call tracking. We no longer had to get into the weeds of the business design and ads instead we were augmenting their analytics- providing a kind of google analytics for phone calls. Continuing down this path talking to customers - people wanted to just use our phone and we became contact center software… we’ll see where we go from here still love talking to customers… my way of seeing the world is always be solving problems and always be talking to people with problems… using the phone to call someone is not a bad thing but maybe if you have a neighbor or aunt/uncle - father in law or the likes that needs help start there … but definitely have away for people to call you. And email like a lot… that’s my advice… because bills bat had the name of the last guy who sold him a website and ads…

Artists shouldn't be tied to brands and products. Artists get shit done using tools they have available.
