Sentience is very mysterious, and no one has a great theory of when or how it arises. It seems to be related to the complicated nervous system humans have. If an LLM can reproduce the external reactions that a human has to a wide variety of stimuli, it's certainly possible that it's sentient.

It's more than that. The way black box composition is done in modern software, your n=100 code (say, a component) gets reused into a another thing somewhere above, and now you're being iterated through m=100 times. Oops, now n=10k

Generally, Casey seems to preach holistic thinking, finding the right mental model and just write the most straightforward code (which is harder than it looks; people get distracted in the gigantic state space of solutions all the time). However this requires 1. a small team of 2. good engineers. Folks argue that this isn't always feasible, which is true, but the point of these presentations is to spread the coding patterns & knowledge to train the next gen of engineers to be more aware of these issues and work toward said smaller team & better engineers direction, knowing that we might never reach it. Most modern patterns (and org structures) don't incentivize these 2 qualities.
Well, in a sense there is a spec, at the lowest level.

As an example, for a C program you have

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
...
}

From there, it is just conventions on what the arguments mean.
If they don’t put units on the market in winter, that would keep rates higher, not lower.
> And I test the cash with a counterfeit detector pen.

FYI, having owned a liquor store for a while and processing a ton of cash, the only counterfeit bills the pens could detect were the crappy amateur ones that were already pretty obvious without using the pen. Plenty of counterfeit bills passed the pen test just fine and didn't get revealed until the bank rejected them from a deposit.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at, it's not the abundance or lack of space that is the issue. Thanks for emphasizing!

“ It feels like a bait and switch, ignoring the very real issues with the writer while labeling as bad, wrong or offensive words that have no such inherent value.”

"But even in that context it was clear that by making some tradeoffs"

It was literally a weekend POC, and Casey Muratori even went beyond the POC part and fixed some emoji/foreign language bugs that were present in the Terminal.

Also, his intent was not to replace the Terminal. His intent was to demonstrate that it was possible to do the optimization in the way he suggested. Originally a Microsoft PM dismissed his suggestions and claimed it would be a "doctoral thesis project" or something.

All this "yeah it's a narrow view" is just moving the goalposts more and more. Not only he has to do a "doctoral thesis project" in a few days, he also has to completely replace a tool that's already written, bells and all? Where does it stop?
Depends on what you are talking about.

Stealing cash from the vault: sure, that's 'real world' security.

Protecting their customers' data: nope, that's all digital.
I think the likely avenue there would be using something similar to Stable Diffusion to perform style transfer. You may not need to SD for every frame if you can intelligently generate sprites that can be re-used. We are getting there
I wish Windows had better UTF-8 (and Unicode overall) support. The system-wide UTF-8 locale is still in beta after so many decades of suffering. Windows Console/Terminal/PowerShell still have constant issues with CJK.
the is less demand though (people don’t like to move in winter/mid school year)
Switch was invented because it allows to replace several ifs and gotos with a precomputed static jump table, an optimization trick.
Even if you can mitigate this one specific injection, this is a much larger problem. It goes back to Prompt Injection itself- what is instruction and what is code? If you want to extract useful information from a text in a smart and useful manner, you'll have to process it. There are no "real" mitigations that would make this impossible as of now, and that is not good enough when you look at all the bad things that could ensue (in the paper/repository). As of now, any prompt injection == arbitrary code execution on the LLM itself
I believe it. I opened up at mobile account and I would get random advertisement text messages.
Rembrandt is excellent... on linux, if you throttle it.

The main issue is that AMD/Intel turbo so hard, while Apple clocks their M chips much more conservatively. They are also much bigger, wider designs than AMD (which means they are more expensive but can afford to run slower).

Another is that Windows + OEM garbage + random background apps do so much useless processing in the background. And I'm not even a pro-linux "bloat" zealot... it really is just senseless and unacceptable out-of-the-box.
You are right but here's the kicker: they learn even without autodiff! So my paper tries to explain that. I argue that Hopf coherence is a better autodiff.

You should peep the Pang2014 paper, I think you will understand better what's happening.
According to Slate Money, the reason that new builds are in more demand is that builders have programs that will reduce the interest rate by around 2% making the mortgage lower than a similar price existing home.
crab?
Lenders are smarter than that. CMBS (commercial mortgage backed securities) lenders require borrowers to maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio.

You do not get to pretend a half empty building is worth the same as a full one.
I think the person you are replying to is talking about the naming of the title. Transformers, electrically, are used to change voltages and work by electromagnetic induction. I was super confused by it also since it has to do with machine learning and not electrical applications.

100% - I love https://www.windy.com for this very reason. Their full meteogram gives you a really succinct/concise representation for all the data it's showing every 3h for 5+ days (wind, temp, dew cloud cover/levels, etc).

That said.. Windy's precipitation forecast figures haven't always been great around here.
Do you need to know the individual state legislatures for every state as well?

You’d only need to know those representing you, which would not change.

The purpose of the senate is to have a fixed knowable number of state representatives, while congress should allow for more fine-grain personal representation.
The fixed number of congressmen diminishes the intended difference of the two houses.
CRT also gave extremely high smoothness for free. 60Hz there looks a lot better than on LCD etc.
> Look, most modern software is spending 99.9% of the time waiting for user input, and 0.1% of the time actually calculating something. If you're writing a AAA video game, or high performance calculation software then sure, go crazy, get those improvements.

Value of time is disproportionately weighted by user attention, which is at its highest right around when user input is happening.
This is interesting.

A group of internationally known virologists have a video podcast. They have nearly 1000 casts and have interviewed virologists worldwide. See
This Week in Virology (https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/)

They have said that they do not believe it would be possible, given the current state of research, to engineer Sars-Cov2

I'm more likely to take the opinion of world experts in Virology than the Director of the FBI. Your opinion may differ.
True. But they should have just forked either wireguard-go or boringtun to implement this functionality, and give up on the wg driver, the WG author seems like he doesn't care about PQC. Juggling multiple tooling is always a hassle.

It's also not clear how the WG PSK change is coordinated, and whether that entails a brief loss of connectivity - packet loss, latency spike.
Msys2 is/has always been cool tho
I'd say they do. Look at the number of conservative groups that sprang up against Trump. I haven't heard of any left-leaning groups forming against the extreme end of the "culture war" that leans left, e.g. the one that has imposed rules on ChatGPT that make it give this absurd (and entirely unethical by any reasonable ethics framework) answer. The only thing I've seen get pushback in left-leaning circles is advocating for actual communism in the economic sense.

That's what started it? Any idea what happened the day before the invasion of Crimea?
Not your parent but I think that is exactly the point lots of people here are making.

There definitely are niches where there are quite a few performance optimization opportunities that users do care about.

In your example making something a user is actively waiting for go from 3 seconds to less than one is a great optimization target. What is not a great optimization target is making something the user is actively waiting for and that takes 30ms take 25ms instead. That's wasted money on developer time.

If your "user" is a developer of embedded software with memory constraints and using your library leaves them more room that's awesome. If your user was someone using the library on a general purpose computing device with loads of memory then the 2 vs. 5 does nothing.
> but I wouldn't be surprised if the entire process is automated.

Yup, I accidentally underpaid my mortgage one month by $0.20 (I fat fingered the online payment). I didn't get my house repossessed, but it did send the automated billing system at the bank into a huge tizzy that took six months and multiple phone conversations with different departments to sort out. I was flabbergasted that it caused so much commotion, as it can't be that unusual an error to occur.
The other context which the authors and all the human rights groups who complain about this stuff ignore is that strict application of the AML laws results in mass derisking and the wholesale exclusion of entire industries and even countries from the financial system because banks do not want to risk the fines. Several major Caribbean banks are constantly on the verge of losing correspondent relationships despite doing basically everything the FATF asked that they could afford. Non banks ATMs (which aren’t even considered MSBs), check cashers and a whole host of other businesses are de facto excluded from major US banks right now. I think the desire to “do something” about Russia has made any sort of cost benefit analysis go right out the window.
Why not both? It's a loss in functionality because it's much harder and the Linux desktop environment ecosystem is too niche, fragmented and underfunded to make the transition complete in a way that satisfies all camps so we end up in this traditional linux situation where several solutions coexist in parallel forever.

And yet the annals of history are littered with open source education efforts that failed, because they weren’t able to figure out a revenue model that was sustainable to their creators.

Maybe this thread is just a lightning rod for a bunch of OSHW anger but there’s compounding good that comes from a huge customer like Vodafone buying a shitload of Pis.

The major thing I can think of is higher volume for the Pi foundation, which means more negotiating power with their chip suppliers or price breaks at a certain ordering volume.

Might mean you don’t get any Pis now.

Also might mean they drop the per unit cost by $5-10 in a year.

Not that I expect any of these facts to make you feel any less angry or betrayed or whatever, but they’re net goods for the Pi Foundation, and the OSHW community if they do indeed come to pass.

"that video isn't available any more" :(

it was really basic (but awesome for its time). You basically flew over a flat grid - literally a grid - so the only thing "3d" about it was that you could see this 3d grid rotating and moving about. At one edge of the grid was a 2D "mountain" which was orthogonal to the ground-grid.

I found a screenshot here: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/39/85/9c/39859c5ccf2e08207f72...

If memory serves, one of the grid boxes in the top-left of that image contains the enemy base. You could dogfight against two other planes.

I mean... they were single pixel planes.

I think that TRS80 "graphics resolution" was 128x48 so you know. It would probably fit inside the letter O on today's hardware. Which is pretty cool when you think about it.

Pretty funny how the oldest one has the same top comment as this submission (https://norvig.com/spell-correct.html), 15 years later
How has it been going back to a hybrid schedule? Has it been worth it?
That doesn’t look apples-to-apples to me. That’s thousands of samples of a two year old low-end M1 vs 2 samples of a brand new Ryzen mid-range (AFAICT). (And the Ryzen still loses at single core performance.)
I think there is a relatively comfortable middle ground. High quality, readable and performant code are not mutually exclusive optimization quantities - though they will start to compete against each other in the extreme. Often, O(WTF) algorithms are complicated, full of useless fluff and hard to understand - occasionally attempting to follow Uncle Bob's unresearched and unexamined ideas.
If you believe in efficient markets, both options should be roughly equal value.
The JDK source already has non-latin characters. What’s being proposed is to normalise them to UTF-8.

Are you “against” the link title or linked proposal?
Just a quick nudge back on this: people in DSP would disagree with the assertion that nobody is going over big loops and using a virtual method on each element. We often have to process at least 88k elements per second in real time, through many many different processes. If any of those processes are defined using factories that spit out classes with polymorphic inheritance and virtual functions it certainly becomes an issue.

As a result some styles of writing code just don’t work for the audio thread at all, and we’d have to simply avoid or rewrite libraries written this way.

There are just some domains where standard practice for cleanliness is different because of your constraints.

I mean, it’s to the point we’ve got die hards in this industry who insist on putting all functions inlined in headers (not that I agree!)
Confused. Law includes statutes. Are you suggesting the statute is unconstitutional?
To be fair, it’s a very intentional policy on SG’s part, since the low land area puts a brake on how many cars can be accommodated while maintaining free flow traffic.
The current argument is not “is artificial sentience generally impossible,” it is “are the machine learning systems we are currently building and operating sentient.”

Arguing that they are not sentient is not in conflict with materialism. And in fact it is supported by tons of material evidence: for example they don’t act sentient at all if you decline to provide a prompt.
Ha! This trope started with Tesla, though that threat is much more credible given where FSD is at. (By "much more credible," I mean "more theoretically possible, but not very likely to happen"). I guess Ford should feel flattered that they are being compared to Tesla like this!
The cost of raw materials and labor has gone up a lot more than interest rates in the last couple years.
For once, this directly affect me. I've been looking for a place since November 2022 in Los Angeles and it's the opposite that I see.

In November, I'd find 4 bedrooms for $3800 (2000+sqf). I thought it was expensive, but someone always got it before me. Now we are in March and I can't find anything reasonably close with 4 bedrooms for less than $4,500. And again, someone is always snatching these before I get them.

Maybe when you average out all the prices it seems to be going down. But browsing through the zill/apt/red/etc. does feel like prices are going up.

... still looking for a place by the way
CGPT will definitely give you an answer about global warming, not tell you it violates the policy. It'll start by saying it has no opinion then talk about it, not a Wikipedia-style answer but more of a lecture about the dangers.
My 2013 F150 periodically asks me if it should upload a “Vehicle health report”. I have always declined.

The idea of a vehicle repossessing itself does bother me. In the early 2000s I bought a vehicle from Mitsubishi, financed through them. At the time, setting up an automatic payment through them cost a monthly fee, so I set it up through my bank instead.

About 3 years later I got a call from them threatening repossession because I was three months behind on payments. I checked and every payment had been sent.

It turned out that Mitsubishi Motors East had transferred my loan to Mitsubishi Motors West, or something like that, and I had missed that. It was probably in one of the statements I never bothered opening.

You misunderstand. This isn't a bank bailout. These are direct loans held by the federal government itself, otherwise there wouldn't even be a question about whether the administration had the authority to forgive them.
This definitely is a data privacy issue. They collect your data any they use it in some mathematical model to assess risk with some poorly thought out proxy, and boom: a bunch of people get falsely classified as risks to the platform.

Assuming police are charging to get your car back then it would probably be quite the profit center for them to enforce in that situation. I would be more concerned about them over enforcing parking infractions as a matter of dept policy, than I would be of parking infractions being ignored.

This is a long way of just saying the Federal Government is too large and needs less power over our lives. Government should be local, where you can have as smaller constituent to rep ratio.
"Leaked from a lab" and "created in a lab" are different issues.
The intelligence community certainly knows things virologists don't, and vice versa.

Also, it does not necessarily have to be "engineered" to have been released. Both statements could be somewhat true.

Not that I buy either explanation yet. I have kind of accepted we will never definitively know COVID-19's source, and (though I understand the need to protect clandestine information) these announcements without evidence are not changing that sentiment.
It's not just the indexing you have to worry about, though. It's also out-of-bounds iterators. And while, yes, you can tell your implementation to emit checks for those as well, it's so slow in practice that nobody uses it in optimized release builds (and some implementations don't even support such use).
Very good show, Dr. Daniel Griffin is my source for any covid information.

Yes, we don't know how to do this, nor does anyone. There's only a few hundred virologists in this tier and they all know each other and what their labs can do.

If anyone ever does claim it's man made I ask them why, if it is man made, does it have synonymous mutations?

The few times it happened (early in the pandemic), not one of them knew what a synonymous mutation was.
