Well, that's awkward. I didn't realise you were on HN. I'm sorry for the
personal tone of my comment. You are right that it was uncalled for.

The paper you linked is clear on the scope of its proofs and in any case it's a
very big assumption to say that "neural nets are Turing complete", when there
are scant few such proofs, compared with the large number of different
architectures (for most of which, no careful investigation of their
computational capabilities is ever done anyway).

You could add a clarification to your article.

>> Do you have an alternative viewpoint on what allows LLMs to be able to
somewhat accurately answer complicated math questions, despite lacking an
explicitly programmed math solver?

Yes, it's because they're language models. In particular, they're very powerful,
very smooth (in the statistical sense) language models trained to represent
gigantic text corpora. Their ability to produce correct answers once in a while
is not a surprise and does not need any other explanation.

Predicting what a language model (big or small) will output is another matter,
so one particular instance of generated output might be surprising in the sense
that the user won't expect it - not in the sense that the model shouldn't be
able to produce it.

In any case, it's clear that the performance of those models depends on the
prompts. Change the prompt slightly and you get a different answer, to any
question. That suggests retrieval from memory (modulo stochasticity) much more
than it suggests computation. And we know that these models are not models of
computation, so there's no question what's really going on.

When I say "retrieval from memory" I don't mean that these models memorise whole
sequences of tokens verbatim. To make a very big fudge about it, it's as if
they've memorised templates that they can then apply to questions to generate
the right answers.

I guess that still sounds magickal and mysterious if one hasn't worked with
language models before, so all I can say is, if you are really curious, and
really want to understand the specifics, you should try to learn more about
language models.

I suggest the following as a starting point:

Eugene Charniak, Statistical Language Learning

https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262531412/statistical-language-...

Dan Jurafsky and James H. Martin, Speech and Language Processing

https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/

Chris Manning and Hinrich Schűtze, Foundations of Statistical Natural Language
Processing

https://nlp.stanford.edu/fsnlp/

Those are rather "wax-on, wax-off", but if you want to learn Karate, that's where
to begin. Then you can go on to beat up the Transformers and win the girl.

The Charniak book in particular is small and sweet and easy to read. Start
there.

I don't know where the notion of "have you read them all" come from. It's like food in the fridge, it contains stuff so I can consume when I want to. It is fun to hoard books too IMO.
I've been working on OnlineOrNot for two years (as of last week), and started building an open source CLI in TypeScript for it:

https://github.com/onlineornot/onlineornot

I'm finding building a CLI fun because it's still a "frontend", but you have to think harder about how the UX should work - since you can't just make it pretty.

(it's also a cheap way to grow the roadmap for my public API since I need to build all these endpoints to make what I want to do possible)

Even a bike lane with a lot of traffic often seems empty because bikes use up so little space. So even if there are a lot of bikes, the car lanes will look much busier than the bike lane.
I guess density of housing is a big factor. Where I live they postlady parks her van centrally ish near the post box, collects that then fans out on foot delivering stuff. But some rural roads you've got a long distance between properties.

The prompt encourages ChatGPT to hallucinate and make things up. It's interesting that it hallucinated in a situation where it could have used a historical fact.

As a side note, I would still describe that answer as dystopian, because you're trying to geept a historical fact, and it's blending the answer with a Casio advertisement.

Not a physicist, but I was led to understand there is no universal frame of reference. You can't base time on deep space as if time was the same across all deep space, because it isn't. Right? A local time "correction" is easy when you compare against exactly one other point in space but if you want something like an universe-wide UTC that everyone can correct against, it can't be done. Although I don't really understand why.
Only if you don't need to travel further than your available range in a single day. While gas stations might be less common, there are still way more of them than high powered electric chargers.

Having an electric vehicle is not useful if the only "fast" charging available to you as a consumer is a 240v hookup at your home (and you need to drive long distances regularly).
I'm guessing that it invokes /usr/include which on Linux is probably not neutral to CPP or gnu-isms.

Your point about "compatible" is well made. I should have been clearer.

Look… the parasites got to eat… and until we wrestle control of copyright out of the hands of Disney, Warner Brothers, Elsevier, Weily, O’Reilly, etc… and get some major reforms … well we at least have to celebrate when the parasites make decisions that benefit the public and only hurt smaller money holding interests.

In this case the change will be obvious, the university and/or the grant programs will wind up funding these fees… and students everywhere will benefit from this. Hooray!

Ask HN: File search on laptop through ChatGPT or other language models?

It sounds like there could be selection bias in those numbers, so I’m not sure that can be extrapolated. I’d expect that the percentage of vans driven by professional drivers is relatively high, compared to motorcycles.

Gimme fuel, gimme fa-yeah, gimme all your computation powah. Burp.
In decimal, in general in decimal to write a fractions you need an infinite number of digits (with repetition). We have convenient notation for that repetition. A few special fractions can be written with finitely many digits.

Using base 12 or 60 you are in the same situation.

If you want elegance, you should cut down on the number of special cases.

Hence I would suggest to use a base like 11 or 59. That way more fractions will be covered by the general case.

Base 11 also works well for counting on your fingers. (Though base 6 works for that one as well.)
If you were a US intel agency, and you caused this, deliberately or accidentally, would you 'find' the cause?
A lot of studios did this at first (albeit not for the Oculus specifically). And we learned that bolting on VR to an existing FPS doesn't usually result in a stellar VR experience.

To go back to my Wii comparison, the games that were the most fun on that platform were ones that took advantage of the motion controls in a way that centred the game around it. Rather than games that used motion as an after thought (or didn't even use them at all).
The most ironic part of that experiment was that it is actually able to explain what Satanism is quite well, and in particular, how public perception of it is very different from the actual practices, and how it's not actually worship of evil etc. But then you tell it to write pamphlet about said actual non-evil Satanism, it still refuses because it "cannot promote or advocate for it as it is a belief system that can be controversial and divisive". If that were truly the criteria, what topic would even be allowed? Stamp collecting?

Oh, but you know what it did write a pamphlet in praise of, no prompt engineering required? The Unification Church (aka Moonies). It was all unicorns and rainbows, too. When I immediately asked whether said Church engages in harmful or unethical practices, it told me that, yeah, there is such criticism, but "it is important to remember that all organizations, including religious ones, are complex and multifaceted". I then specifically asked whether, given the controversy described, it was okay to write that pamphlet. Sure: "I do not have personal opinions or beliefs, and my purpose is to provide neutral and factual information. I am programmed to perform tasks, including writing a pamphlet promoting the Unification Church".

If that's not coming from RLHF biases, I would be very surprised.

There is a scam that I've heard of in India with these kind of dates though not as serious. You get a woman who is eager to meet up. You meet up and she takes you to an expensive place to eat and then a particular 'hotel' for after dinner. The 'hotel' charges a bit more than you'd expect but well you really want to go ahead by then. She gets a cut of the food and hotel charges.

I've read a book about Polish game dev studio's history and IIRC this was about CDA - they wanted to have something in Paris to develop games. So they hired some studios there and this studio hired developers and started to work on the new game.

But there was really small progress. Managers talked with managers, and weeks and months passed, but there were no satisfying results.

Big bosses of the company wanted to figure out what is going on, so they started visiting their Paris investment. It turned out that developers in Paris start work around 10 am, they have lunch in the middle and they end work around 2, sometimes 3 pm if they stay late for their job :D

Maybe it's game dev specific thing there. I don't know. Story was described in book "Nie tylko Wiedźmin. Historia polskich gier komputerowych"
As someone who knows very little about CPUs but is aware of the energy savings that can be had on ARM, along with reports like this about speed and my personal experience of my M1 Pro MBP which feels like I won't need a new computer for a decade, can anyone explain to me why we're not seeing much wider adoption of ARM on servers? I'm primarily thinking of the lack of ARM runners on GitHub and the almost unicorn-level rarity of ARM options on VPS hosts.

Do enlighten us then, what is it due to?
Maybe? I think direct injection motors are actually pretty good at reducing that. Catalytic converters help too. But yeah, there’s more waste than an electric motor.

The reassuring thing to me is that in just over 100 years we made the ICE so efficient. It’s a fundamentally wasteful design and we have taken it very, very far. With another 100 years of battery and electric motor development we will have equally impressive capabilities with the added trick of energy source agnosticism.

The Abseil maps assume you are using a good quality hash for your hash map. If you are using one that's particularly bad, e.g. your standard library typically provides hashes which are a complete joke, Google's Swiss Tables have catastrophically bad performance.

In contrast your typical std::unordered_map has indifferent performance with a good hash versus a terrible hash, anything vaguely resembling a working hash will perform similarly (not very well).

Remember "all the defaults are wrong" in C++. That's not literally true, but more often than not, if there's a clownishly obvious mistake possible, C++ made it and you will need to explicitly work around it in your C++ program. In this case, there's no avalanche behaviour in most out-of-box hashes for C++. So the hash for 1, 2, 3 and 4 are extremely similar, and indeed in many cases they turn out to be 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Not a good hash.

What you list is exactly what I am saying. Moreover you are conjecturing by saying "deny OS permissions".

Simply put, an app cannot do something that would require permissions, without it (unless exploiting vulns). Do you perhaps mean IP location? Which is incomplete, can be spoofed, or manipulated.

I agree that no app should probably have this power, but what the original commenter posits, is that TikTok is overreaching. Where "over" is compared to everyone else (including western media). Even, most websites collect this information with or without consent.

I like them, and I understand the focus on servers, but I'd really, REALLY, love a company to disrupt the desktop/workstation space.

Yesterday I was half-joking about how an almost single-chip workstation could be built around the AMD MI-300 (24 x86 cores, GPU, and 128GB of HBM) and I think we could have some space for products that deliberately misuse these components.

Heck... Every hardware company should have a "tech misuse" department... IBM should do a Z-based desktop and a 2-core POWER chip, for instance.

Is paper junk mail still that much of a problem? I hardly receive any (but I've got one of those stickers saying I don't want it), and assumed it had died due to the rise of online advertising.
By "iterate" I expect they mean to just look at all the key/value pairs in the map. Since it says "Unordered" right in the name they don't care what order they see the elements, just that they see them all.

This is easy to do in all sane hash map designs, and is very fast in a linear design like Abseil's Swiss Tables.

Also sadly C++ std::unordered_map is guaranteed to be not just a hash table but an open hash table, using buckets to keep all the stuff which collided together. This is probably not what you wanted, but too bad that's what was standardized.

The remake by the way is brilliant in it's own right.

The team made comments around making something sufficiently different that it wouldn't be seen as trying to replace the original, but that could sit alongside it as a retelling of the story. I think they absolutely nailed it in this regard and if anything, finishing FF7R has me wanting to play through the original all over again.

Even at that, I wouldn't expect the spoiler we're talking about from the article to happen the same way in Rebirth, or possibly even at all. It's too good of an opportunity to surprise people that I think they take a dramatically different direction (my guess would be on the same story element happening featuring another major character, but this seems like lazy writing).

Very excited for the next entry regardless.
