LLMs are very good at parsing and generating highly structured data as long as it has a rigid and logical structure and doesn't involve any actual mathematical calculations. For simple calculations it will often get it right because it has the knowledge stored, similar to how a human can remember a multiplication table. But once the numbers get high enough that humans would fail without solving it with an algorithm using pen and paper (or a calculator) that's when LLM's fail as well.

Luckily this problem can be solved as you can prompt the model to not solve math, but instead transform them into a structure that can be fed into an API (like wolfram alpha).

With a multistep process it would be easy to have ChatGPT generate accurate answers to advanced math problems:

1. Instruct ChatGPT to not solve mathematical expression it sees in the prompt, instead only extract the expression(s) into a list.
2. Programmatically scan the output, and make API calls to get the answers.
3. Submit the answers to ChatGPT and tell it to answer the original question with the newly supplied information.
4. Voila! You can solve almost any mathematical question using natural language.
Yeah but an optical illusion to confuse a human would have to cover most of the sign I think, and I know this isn't a random sticker but if this is possible there's no way that people don't make some and put them on signs just to mess with the cars because they can. In fact, I'm sure they'd do the same with stickers that would confuse people, it's just that there aren't any (that we know of, but considering self driving is a lot newer than people driving I'd say finding one for cars already but not people is telling on it's own) small enough that they wouldn't get immediately removed.

I think law is actually similar.

The article explains the P vs NP issue [1] very well.
If there is one thing to nitpick, then

> in fact “convert NP-complete problem to SAT” is in P.

is not the most precise, since P is a class of decision problems, while said conversion [2] is not a decision problem, but something that runs in polynomial time.

>the concept of international telecommunication is novel from the perspective of the constitution

But not of International Communication.

>>It's pretty clear "the people" refers to citizens.

If that is in fact the case, then why are all these rights the extended to all persons inside the Geographic US, Non-citizens are in fact all the time granted many / all the rights guaranteed by the US Constitution simply because of their presence inside the border of the US.

Seems to be a conflict there, if by your account rights are only protected from government infringement if you are a US Citizen then we have loads of case law that runs afoul of that position
my favorite part: Tom and Harry have been working together for years, but have an ongoing feud over whether to use metric or imperial measurements, and it’s become a case of “whoever got to that part of the design first.” This has been such a headache for the people actually screwing things together, they’ve given up and just forced, hammered, or welded their way through the day with whatever parts were handy.
Unlike Reddit mods, anyone with sufficient rep is granted the edit power on SO.
Part of the purpose of standing it to prevent "friendly lawsuits." If _anyone_ can challenge a law simply because they claim to be opposed to the law, then people who support the law could establish favorable precedent by mounting a flawed challenge that's designed to fail.

Standing does not _fully_ prevent this. Sometimes a person may want to plead guilty to conduct that is not a crime, or intentionally lose and serve a few years in prison if the state has agreed to not prosecute them on charges that would land them several decades.

However, it's a somewhat useful ~"you have to have some skin in the game if you're going to participate in making the rules."
Just wait until you see the Wikipedia mods.

Yep. So am I. But we have to acknowledge that requires enforcing our morality on other cultures. And the consequence of that is that we believe our morality is superior.

>locations in the middle of desolate suburbia,

I love the constant description of suburbia as being desolate.

My suburban neighborhood is pretty typical and we have a vibrant community, including little free libraries, bike trails, conservation clubs, birdwatching orgs, garden clubs, needlecraft clubs, kids running lemonade stands, teens hustling to shovel driveways in the winter, a community pool, bake sales, plant sales, strawberry festivals, and more.

We even all banded together and got rid of a lot of the streetlights so now I live in a Bortle 3 (or VERY low Bortle 4) dark sky. And because I have a yard I have a huge-ass amateur radio antenna farm and a fire pit where people come over to chill out.

I raised three daughters here and they turned out fantastic, and spent their youth doing some real Stranger Things stuff without all of the upside-down bits.

If I want to feel hip and urbane I drive the 20 minutes to the train station and go into town, pay my $20 for a cocktail, see an overpriced show, and then retire to my awesome house.

I'm beginning to think that people who think suburbia is desolate are miserable shitheads who a: people don't want to be around, or b: don't want to be around other people.
In some ways, you could consider Uber to be a criminal organization. They were pretty much an illegal Taxi service that grew so fast that no one could stand against them for long. I wonder how many gangs are just small scale Uber operations. Providing a service that is in demand, but legally grey/black and resorting to bribery, coercion, and violent means to protect their interests.

How many new grey market criminal organizations will we call disruptive instead of criminal? What will happen when criminal organizations will be able to get rounds of investment, the same as any legal organization? With major corporations intentionally violating the law as a "cost of business" what is the line between criminal and legitimate organizations?
It would be more worrisome if the DOJ or NSA was routinely losing warrant applications in court; it would imply that they were taking flyers, rather than carefully documenting their targets and the rationale for surveillance. I'm not arguing that FISA warrants aren't abused, or that NSA couldn't get a warrant for a ham sandwich; I'm only saying that we probably can't learn much from their win count in court, since it's directionally what we'd hope it would be (I don't know if 20,000 is a lot or a little, and certainly we could debate that number).
Haiku was my first experience writing code for a real world software organisation, as part of Google Summer of Code.

Standing here would be about whether Wikimedia or their members is aggrieved or injured, etc. The poster to whom you replied is wondering how the org would meet the legal requirements.
What metric do we use to define if it is 'just fine'?
I would agree with your position on the assumption that the skills being taught by universities are truly valuable.

My computer science and engineering course didn't teach git. I got a test on CSS and I wasn't allowed to use references, I assume the presumption was that I might need to write CSS without the internet I suppose? It introduced a proprietary UML code generator meant for working with oracle. There was 0 percent chance that company wasn't giving my university kickbacks. Speaking of kickbacks, have you looked at the insanity university textbooks are engaging in now?

If I had a choice of hiring someone who had field experience over someone with a degree, it wouldn't even be a choice for me, field experience. But you can't quantify that. you can't CYA with that. So this farce must go on.

Now, obviously, we should improve these issues. Obviously, that piece of paper should mean something. And hey I'm not saying I learned nothing. Despite these failings I managed to learn some valuable skills while I was there. I did take it seriously. But that made these issues all the worse. I would not operate on the assumption that if someone cheated their way through university that they have no skills.

I did roll back, and the user started an edit war with me and I flagged it for moderator intervention. I didn’t see a response from a diamond mod.
Shrines only exist for deified figures. Some kings did successfully deify themselves, to the point where they are still worshipped as Gods. This king wasn’t deified.

Deification of kings sounds unusual, but it was quite a common tactic of political control in the ancient world. The Roman Imperial cult was quite successful at this.
Cheers to OP for whatever magic this interaction has unlocked!
I agree that Google Colab is so much nicer to use, but if you already use AWS, have accounts and access control already setup, the SageMaker Studio is OK to use also.

It is usually easy to take existing Jupiter notebooks and run them on either platform, assuming data is easily accessible.
If we built our cities in such a way that everyone didn't need a car, this wouldn't be a problem. Nonetheless, and quite ironically, off-street parking mandates are one of the main reasons that everyone does need a car. Eliminate those mandates, and you eliminate vast swathes of empty nothingland that are a huge hindrance to car-free living.

Furthermore, if there is no off-street parking and cities price on-street parking appropriately such that there are always a few empty spots, no one would move into the area with the expectation that they can park their car for free, and it wouldn't be a problem.

Off-street parking mandates sound like a good idea, but they're actually horrible for cities, and they're part of why most American cities are as sprawling and car-dependent as they are. City-planners of the 20th century thought the same as you and didn't consider the consequences, and now the trend is reversing: many cities and states are beginning to eliminate those mandates, but it's going to take quite a long time before the effects are felt.
I'm curious, how did you get disqualified? I've been using the platform and wasn't even aware it was possible to get disqualified.

The questions seemed very fair, though I know they've been iterating on them so it may be different from when you used it.
Local working implementations of distributed ML model training
I don't think Linux is user-unfriendly if you want to learn how computers work. Also, if you want computers for the use cases that a RaspberryPi is intended for, then what other OS choice is there? Heck, just having an OS is an overkill of luxury for most of those projects to begin with.

It's unfortunate that you had such a bad experience, but it sounds like you might have had unhelpful expectations.
In Frege's The Foundations of Arithmetic he disagrees with Kant that a proposition like "2 + 12 = 14" is synthetic (and Kant used large numbers as an example of how analysis would fail!!!). However, once we have a large language model we can experimentally show that math computations are indeed synthetic. Kant was right!
You brought Nexus into the discussion:

> Google finally decided to take the brand into their own hands by releasing Nexus, and now Pixel lines

I was just pointing out that your "traditionally" is a non-traditional notion if you consider the timeline of Nexus and Android.
That would make sense if a new question could be asked after the same X number of time units. As it is, 2012 answers suggesting jQuery for any simple Javascript question are no longer relevant.
While I am sure ublock origin or whatever is more powerful, I see no ads while browsing Safari in iOS or macOS using a content blocker like Wipr. Youtube ads sometime get through though as of late last year.

Of course, I do not use websites like Instagram or Twitter, so maybe I am not affected by the less comprehensive ad blocking.
We really need to know what happened here...
Switch "AI" and "compiler" and you describe exactly what a programmer does.
These neverending wars & the incentives that perpetuate the neverending wars are a tragedy. I've been following the Russian state's reasons for the invasion, which is to combat NATO encroachment & to de-Nazify Ukraine. Putin stated that the US is "agreement incapable" & Xi told Biden something to the effect "you say one thing but do another". India & the global south do not condemn the invasion. Putin's rhetoric about fighting imperialist colonialism is received well not because Putin is a wonderful guy, but because these words ring of truth to the audience.

I'm not happy with the invasion but given the aggressive expansionist behavior of Pax Americana, I don't know if there are any alternatives other than the West using diplomacy in good faith. Russians see this conflict as "existential" & will not back down. Given such a position, does diplomacy not make sense? Why don't we know more about their positions? The captured media only tells one story. "Putin is a madman hell bent on invading Ukraine", when in reality Russia, after Gorbachev decided to end the Soviet Union, has tried diplomacy for years but the agreements were violated.

There was a US backed coup in Ukraine in 2014, which the Nazis played an important role in. The Minsk 2 agreement was broken by Ukraine as it continued to attack the Donesk & Luhansk Republics, both of which declared independence from Ukraine after the 2014 coup.

Zelensky & Putin were about to come to an agreement in February before the west, via Boris Johnson, intervened.

My main point here is diplomacy is possible & the natural course but bad actors in Pax Americana, like the NeoCons/NeoLibs only push war & double down on war when these misadventures fall apart. This behavior also drives the conflicts in Yemen, Israel, South America, etc.

The NeoCons/NeoLibs used to be known as "The War Party". Fitting name. They push for war & as we have seen, war is what we have gotten for a long time. The War Party has caused widespread destruction & sponsored widespread terrorism throughout it's history.

The alternative is peaceful coexistence with Russia, China, South America, Africa, the Middle East, etc. BRICS & a multipolar payment system are developing, which I believe will usher in a new age of global prosperity. The question is, will Pax Americana dissolve just like the USSR dissolved or will it remain by sticking to it's stated policy explained as:

```
we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population...Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security
```

or as the Chinese govt officials call it, The Thucydides Trap.

More importantly, can we stop the escalation of WW3 & stop nuclear conflict?
Yeah this makes sense. I'll think how'd I add something like that.

Meanwhile you can try our percentage type of cards - it allows you to add % amount of all cards in current block
Counter-ancedote: my 13 year old, 9K rep account gets the same treatment as original poster. I've given up on participating (after latest and particularly upsetting episode of "question not good enough"), and use the site only through google. Shame, it used to be easy access to expertise.
That's possible today without AI though, so, if it's a real worry, why are we still teaching people the science to engineer a deadly virus?
You usually won't see a response, the moderator will either lock the post or more likely warn the user to stop the edit war and if necessary will suspend the user.
Reddit is targeting late 2023 for an IPO. The end quality end is nigh for them as well.
I think anyone can do it, barring some serious medical reasons. But my point is, for some it is very easy, others not so much. I say this as someone who could drop 30 lbs easily with diet and exercise when I was younger, but now find it much more difficult.

And the variation can amount to quite a bit. All it takes is time. An excess 100 calories a day adds up to 10 excess lbs in a year. 5 years down the road and you are 50 lbs overweight.

I'm not a lawyer, but given that monorepo was in use in the versioning/build space long before launch, I would have been hesitant to launch with a name where it's going to be an uphill battle to enforce trademark.

(I also worked for Google a while back, and they were very conscious about not using Google as a verb internally, losing a slow battle against the tide of trademark dilution.)
I had a professor who recommended that all students try to ask for help at least once on SO. 95% of students got their post deleted or got some snarky comments.

Honestly, it seems like this reflects the programming environment fairly well. Most devs will be more than happy to answer questions and help. However, if you have done nothing you cannot be helped.

I worked with a guy who gave up easily and was frustrated, but he refused TO READ. I would try to help him and would quickly realize our knowledge gap was so significant that I would need to provide reading materials for him, but he wouldn't read them.

I have been building applications as solo dev for years at a midsize company and I have never encountered anything that wasn't already answered on SO or on reddit/github.
I don't really understand how this announcement will prevent them from becoming the next github for ML.

This is about making it easier to run huggingface models in AWS.
You can't approach it with pure logic. You have to factor in your morality. The issue at hand here is bias. Meaning were you aware that your morality was factored into your logic? That your thinking wasn't logical at all but highly highly biased.

>[If you really think eugenics is "the logical conclusion", and want one of several possible, reasoned arguments against it: consider what the actions required for eugenics do to the structure of society and its values]

We do it for the pets and the livestock we raise, no problems there. We have a healthy community of happy dog pets in the US created from eugenics, genocide, castration and neutering. However, Dogs are mostly unaware of the overarching horror of their existence so this is one way to make the "logic" work with human societies. Make them unaware.

Again not the point here. The point is bias. How can you think Eugenics is so wrong, but then be perfectly ok with it when it comes to dogs? Your mind casts blind spots and illusions throughout your decision making framework so you are unaware of how inconsistent and biased it is.

We have no choice but to follow it though. No amount of logic will make you curl in disgust at dog eugenics as it does with human eugenics.
The question mentioned by the original OP was "My last question (just now) asked about potential maintainability issues involved with a certain approach to CSS layout." which doesn't appear to be very open-ended, at least from my interpretation.

I'll be honest, I mainly knew what the answer to your question would be, but I tried to put myself in the shoes of a newer user trying to understand what questions a person should ask on SO and was curious of maybe things were different.

And the answer appears to still be some form "you won't know until it's closed".
Sure, but how many of those are in funds of some sort where 1% is in REITs? They might not care that much.
I've found that context is everything to getting consistently good output, and augmenting your prompts with known truths with SERPAPi, embeddings and a vector db, brought really flakey results into the >90% accuracy threshold.

As an aside - does anyone have good tools or methods for testing and evaluating prompt quality over time? Like performance monitoring in the web space, but for prompt quality. The techniques to use LLMs as evaluation tools of themselves always has seemed flakey when I've tried it, I'd like to use a more grounded baseline.

For example, if you have a prompt that says "What is the weather today in {city}?", you can run it against a list of cities and expected outputs (using a lookup to some known truthful API). That way, when you make changes to the prompt, you can compare performance to a baseline.
To split hairs: I would have to assume any person capable of visiting an American city, but somehow without any media exposure at all would have to be homeless themselves, and people are generally not shocked by others living their same experience.

I’m trying to think of another scenario where such a hypothetical person might exist, but my imagination fails me.
It's funny to see. The same thing that's happening with iMessage happened with Blackberry messenger over a decade ago.

The major difference is that we now have huge data plans and a handful of great messaging apps to choose from. I don't understand why this hasn't reached the US market.

I can't imagine communicating on an app that's not compatible with my friends' devices when there are so many alternatives out there.
oops Sorry about that. I just purchased the domain and stuck it there then promptly fell asleep. I'll remove it for now and then route it to a bearclaw page when I get done working tonight.
My problem with the article is that it builds something of a straw man "conspiracy theorist" to battle against, instead of looking at the actual problem:

"The plan will require local residents to apply for permits to drive on certain streets"
and the glossed over "filters"

This immediately creates an economic structure where only the wealthy would be able to freely drive while ushering everyone else into something of a forced utopia.

There are plenty of organic "15-minute neighborhoods" all over Europe (and even in the USA) where people voluntarily surrender cars (I'm one of those people) but forcing people to do this only fuels weird culture wars.
Build truly car free infrastructure first and residents will ditch cars freely.
Yeah its definitely not a project management tool, rather project estimation with client sharing features, where your client can enable/disable some features that he thinks he needs/doesnt
