Disambiguation is precisely what it's not great at, I think. I would often see stories like "Given a logged in user..." and the details of what kind of user it was would be buried in a step definition somewhere.

The restricted nature of the language encouraged this "dumbing down" of the high level requirements to the point where you couldn't really have intelligible conversations about gherkin scenarios without referring to step definitions, so the whole exercise becomes kinda pointless.

If your software scenarios had even slightly complex preconditions/steps then most people would just shove that complexity in a definition and paper over it.

No, by "sanctions" I do not mean any of those things. I mean the economic prohibitions against trade with Iran meant to dissuade them from continuing their nuclear program. The ones that Iran agreed to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [1] negotiated between Iran and China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, and the US in order to have lifted.

It would be interesting to see an analysis of this. I see your point - otoh is there a reason to believe that more computation is being "banked" than say matrix inversion, or other optimizations that aren't gradient descent based?

The large datasets involved let us usefully (for some value of useful) bank lots of compute, but it's not obvious to me that it's done particularly efficiently compared to other things you might precompute.

For converged model training, training is often quite inefficient because the weight updates decay to zero and most epochs are having a very small individual effect. I think for e.g. stable diffusion, they dont train to anywhere near convergence so weight updates have a bigger average effect. Not sure if that applies to llms

I work in tech, but not for a big tech company or a hip funded startup, and this weird “unionist language bastardised by the developer on $300k/yr not getting his (yes, his) butter chicken paid for” stuff is just endlessly cringey to me.

With discrete logic you'd be committed to the model for whatever its lifetime is, which might be acceptable depending on the application. With FPGA you would still be able to update it after it's deployed.

I'm sorry I can't point you to a public online source. My comment is anecdotal; relying on my own observations across family and friends with kids at the HS level. It is pretty obvious speaking to them that their advisors and administrators expect all written pieces to comply with DEI principles. I have asked if there is a formal style-book and no one has pointed me to one yet. But there is a powerful group think. Not complying is asking for censure or excommunication.

Yep, this is the technical debt OS creators are facing. There was actually a time not that long ago when operating systems deviated wildly and struck out in all sorts of directions, but because of lack of applications most of them died out despite the immense amount of work put in to them.

If you’re not building in some amount of compatibility, building the OS itself is a fraction of the work ahead.

I didn't, but a few friends have.

One now runs a couple of Airbnb places, one inherited and one bought - making the same money they used to make in a low/mid IT role in the UK - and working far far less. In fact they are starting to get bored but not yet too worried about that.

Another friend started a cupcake business which I thought was a poor idea as the market for cake in London was pretty saturated. 5 years in they have a few employees and are making great money - BUT they work so damn hard, as many or more hours as when they worked in IT. but for now they still love it.
I tried to switch to a different career twice:

1. Full-time musician. Too hard even if you are extremely talented and good at self-promotion. I am good at what I do but I am not a first-call instrumentalist or a charismatic frontperson.

2. Mental health field. I found that the starting pay was too low, didn't relish the idea of going to grad school again, and I found that the training process was too intense for me -- I require a lot of alone time and recharging time.

In both cases I wanted to switch because I had let myself burn out. A key to preventing burnout for me is finding a role where I don't have to sit in multiple meetings a day and where I can work less than 40 hours a week.
FWIW, I'm a native English speaker and I've used ChatGPT to copy edit my own text to good effect, as well as both summarising and expanding on topics. If it helps you, I hope you don't feel the need to avoid using a useful tool.

If it's causing issues, you can remove mentions of it (I know there's also a desire to call out when it's not your own words entirely though). I'd only feel the need to explicitly say it was from a model if I'd not reviewed it - to make sure if it said something wrong it was clear to readers I'd not approved it.

I'd like it if it was more accepted though and it's a shame this has come up as a discussion.

I agree with all that. If you're an organization of any size, you need some level of metrics and measurement. And, if you're a public company, the owners (i.e. shareholders) are going to dictate some of that at a company level. (And even if you're a growth unicorn, that just means the metrics are around growth rather than profit or revenue.)

Just counting on everyone to do the "right thing" and evaluating them on gut feel doesn't really work at scale.
If it's blissful ignorance where someone doesn't know the how gendered pronouns work, that's not a problem.
If it's someone who is intentionally adding an X to the end because of some perceived gender nonsense, then that's offensive.
This is not how photo licensing works. Photos don't magically become public domain because they've been published. There was never any license for it to be re-published and re-distributed in the context of test imagery.

Same with mastodon. Your id is tied to the server so if you get banned you have to create a new id on another server.

Mastodon is worse because your data is in the server owner’s hands. At least with Bluesky your identity and server are separate so you still have your data.
Sure, but at least with unknown you will have done some narrowing.

that said, its considered problematic, or troubled, not because its erotica, but because a group of men used a photo of that nature as the test image. some could, and some probably do, consider that to be objectifying women, particularly when the field is so dominated by men that women may feel that it signals that their worth is judged by their sexual appeal more than their technical skills. and, i could well imagine how I might feel in that situation.

however, there is also something to this that feels overwrought, or perhaps even like a little old-fashioned prudishness.

You need to consider the possibility that this isn't actually the predominant mores of our society - which sticks closer to "you should stand by your agreements" than "agreements between parties of unequal bargaining power are invalid".

Taxonomy of common concepts based on matrices of concepts, for AI improvement
The aim of this project is to create a library in Python based on a taxonomy of commonly used concepts, so that it can be used for AI improvement. Compelling though it is, in most cases, the GPT model answers questions like these incorrectly: 'With which concept is blissful optimism in the same type of relationship as subjectivity and objectivity?' The answer is: '... perception.'

We propose here a set of training data that allow for a response of the type: 'On the one hand, blissful optimism is a negative concept. On the other hand, subjectivity is a negative one and objectivity is a positive concept. Thus, the missing concept is a positive one. Hence, blissful optimism and awareness of problems are in the same relationship as subjectivity and objectivity.'

My comment was more about the saying of the parents comment then specific to deno.

What I mean is that a good craftsmen doesn't complain about bad tool because they choose to use good tools (or more precise appropriate tools for the job) not because they ad-hoc easily negate any drawbacks of bad tools(1). And if they use bad tools anyway they do so intentionally or because there is not other choice and in turn don't complain because it's pointless to do so.

So the saying in the op comment is IMHO misleading at best deceptive at worst. Furthermore it doesn't advance any discussion, only side track it.

I'm sure the deno specific workflow from the article is a grate tool for a lot of use-case. I'm also sure there are use cases where it will fall apart.

(1): Depending on what you do creating a decent result without good tools might literally be impossible no matter how good your skill is. Or it might not make too much of a difference and can be compensated by skill, it's all context dependent, like most things in live.

Does that make it the first instance of Swedish computer piracy?
I know you are doing a more vague accusation, but I don't appreciate being cast as bullying people into using Emacs. :) (Smile is intentional, not trying to be aggressive here.)

There is an odd aggression against Emacs that typically does lead to people having to go to extra effort to justify why they use it. And I can agree many of the justifications can feel like a stretch. They aren't false, though. Nor are we working on some archaic thing that only we can appreciate.

I'm also always amazed at how we think Emacs is somehow more archaic than anything else in a computer. Getting my kids into computers. It is Scratch to start, than probably crippled Python environments. That they are almost certainly going to break and wonder what happened. We even got started on some Arduino stuff, and their IDE is not bad, necessarily, but don't pretend like it is easy and quick in ways that Emacs isn't. Want to make a small game? Good luck, as there are no other environments for that anymore. (Used to, the computer booted into a BASIC shell in ages past.)

And this is avoiding the environments for content creation. Blender is amazing. And amazingly hard to use/explain. Fusion? TinkerCAD is at least easy to explain. But again, very easy to screw up in. (And I'm growing rather tired of all of the times I come back to a computer with hundreds of tabs in a browser all convinced they need to save data.)

All of that is to say, computers are tough. Period. I hope people can find a comfort zone for creation. But I am not convinced there is a single answer there. And more than happy to share what has worked for me.
Has anyone actually caused Chat GPT to persist wrong answers and bleed them into someone else's session?

The future of machine learning, I think, is systems that are a lot more efficient. It’s just nuts that we are encoding linguistic information as float32 (how many of those bits are you really using?) and not much better to be using float16 or float8.

You are dramatically narrowing, in your description, what the law actually broadly prohibits. It isn't about burlesque shows or about a teacher discussing sex with a young student.

The text of (this portion) of the law is:

> Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

It says very clearly that a instruction about gender identity MAY NOT OCCUR before grade 4 - and after that must occur in accordance with state standards and to a vague standard of "appropriateness".
I was thinking of using python as a script (duh).

> GNU Make is really far more sophisticated than people give it credit for and it's not that easy to replace it.

Since its turing complete, it should be able to do everything make can. For example, to compile a C project involves something like:

1. grab all the C files inside `src/`.
2. join the filenames with whitespace delimiter
3. execute `gcc <join result>`

It can also be used to figure out the OS, where to find dependencies and what order compilation should happen or whatever.

But why doesn't this happen?
It actually is not great that people decided to go after Trump’s various sensitive physical traits. He’s an awful person and there are many far more substantial things to criticize him on. Making fun of his weight, even though it feels good to say negative things about a bad person, reinforces the idea that this is somehow a valid criticism.

I can see why people do it. He’s the worst, it feels good to say negative things about him. And he also has a tendency to go for shallow physical descriptions of people as criticism. So it has the feeling of “turnabout is fair play.” But it is a failure to restrain lesser instincts.
I'm not sure it's the same chamber. It's certainly not any of the spaces that the Upuaut bots explored.

You also seriously underestimate the political landscape about the archaeology of the Pyramids.

I disagree, because I do not consider being trans a factor that is usually malleable and the relative increase in performance would not displace anyone with a shot at winning.

You wouldn't make this point about most other unchanging factors (i.e. genetics) that affect performance either. "Fairness" in high end sports is extremely subjective, and hard work is only a small part of how successful you can be, with time (which usually equals to wealth; poor people can't afford to not work) and genetics being the most important. It's simply not a meritocracy in the first place.
