Mysteries of mode collapse – mysterious attractor states in LLMs
SAT stands for aptitude test, why would an aptitude test require multi-hundred hours of studying? All you need is to know a bit of math and how to read and you can score really well, you'd think that would be a shit test but apparently 90% of people can neither read well nor do a bit of math, so it is actually a good test.
Note, colleges should not discriminate based on race. But they are under no obligation about their acceptance criteria. They could just use SAT tests if they wanted. Or just grades, or it could be a lottery. Or it could be the best dressed, or who could pay the most. Just because you don't use a mechanism that favors a specific group, doesn't mean that you are discriminating against them (necessarily). For example, most don't use height in admissions, but it doesn't mean we're discriminating against people from the Balkans.
How about harmful tools with no practical uses to the general public? Mortars, tanks, ketamine, ICBM GPS units…

You’re taking an absolutist position, so I’d like to explore it.
Hi Erica! I was there as a Sales Engineer serving the southwest region around the same time you were there too (2000-2002), based in San Diego. I wish I had kept the RaQ and Qube units I had at home (I had pretty much one of everything from Qube2 through RaQ 550).

Cobalt was an awesome place to work and had amazingly skilled employees. Too bad the Sun acquisition was the death knell for the products...
The JEE solved this problem by changing the format of the test each year. It's not disclosed before the exam. So it is really hard to form meaningful strategy that consistently helps you
What were the texts?
It really sounds like you have a chip, or a few, on your shoulder.

My wife and I were born and educated in the Denver area. We owned a home in the area with a mortgage way less than thr rents were talking about here. We tried to live in the area while progressing my career but there are real limitations. Once we moved to the bay area my career totally blossomed. It was indeed a lifestyle change.

Back to the topic at hand, giving OP advice. He didn't post asking for advice on better cost of living, etc. He asked for advice on moving to SF. There is no substitute for your career than spending your younger years in a crucible like the bay area. It's good advice for them to move there while they're young and can take advantage of the connections made and knowledge learned for a lifetime.

OpenAI's own ai text classifier (https://platform.openai.com/ai-text-classifier) says "The classifier considers the text to be very unlikely AI-generated."
Nice one.

The left-right feel swapped to me, but I fail to give a factual reason.

Also reminds me of two 90s era DOS games: Ugh and some other about landing on Moon. Similar to yours, but the lander looked like a small tower/crate (for lack of better description).
> that you may not face if you use individual private transport instead.

Only if you assume that individual private transport can get you door-to-door. Which is a rather unfair comparison. "cars are better because unlike public transport, you can drive up to basically any building and park there" is only true if you build roads and parkings to basically every building.
Way too unclear. Game flow isn’t explained before the game, you’re just thrown in with no idea what to do beyond the example prompts. Introduction to mechanics before a game would improve the experience.
If it's attached firmly, you are now basically in a 3 wheel car and steer accordingly.
In my mind both CBT and ‘mindfulness’ can be pernicious. (Like that time I was suffering from asthma and anxiety at the same time and the last thing I wanted to do was pay attention to my breath.)
>These schools are no longer about providing an elite education to talented students who want to get ahead.

This is the arbitrage opportunity for lower-ability legacy students. If the schools provided elite educations, they would chew up and spit out lazy rich kids (and probably generate parental acrimony toward the schools in the process, weakening the donor connections.) As affirmative action of all shapes and sizes creates an ever-expanding group of people most likely to fail who the school is particularly determined to not flunk, there is more safe space for deadweight rich kids (which, for the record, I suspect is an overplayed trope relative to actual prevalance, though probably not hard to find at top-ranked schools.)

I dislike microsoft irrationally, but I would find it hard to paint with such a broad brush.

Typescript & vscode are products microsoft produced and are beloved.

you can also find things in Windows that are just “better” than what we had in Linux land until very recently, namely IOCompletion Ports and the iSCSI stuff.
What an awful website experience on mobile. I couldn't get to the article through all these layers of upselling and ads.
For feedback: I had trouble understanding what to do at first, as I couldn't find the instructions or premise of each game mode within the app itself (e.g. what is One Shot Prompt versus Talk It Out).

I later found the instructions in the comment section on HN, but I missed it the first time around as I opened the submission first before checking the discussion. A quick screen explaining the premise near the start or an instructions/question mark button could help the game become easier to get into.

Great premise though, and I like the website performance (everything loads nice and fast).
>now we’re converting rails to Node.

Isn't that just a full re-write, or is there a process?
I’ve been looking for an eink screen for exactly this kind of thing.

Unfortunately they only seem get be put in expensive tablets, or monitors that sort of want to be a main monitor replacement (expensive).

There’s an eInk panel that seems sort of niche-popular, 7.5 inch with 5s refresh, reasonably priced (used in some waveshare projects) but it seems that you can only get the bare board unfortunately.
The necessity of using a fused plug to protect the in-wall wiring in a ring circuit is (IMO) terrible.

The NEC does have restrictions on the size of a breaker supplying different types of receptacles. 20 amps through, say, a 18AWG extension cord shouldn’t be that dangerous as long as the cord uses high temperature insulation. But your point is good: a fuse protecting the cord would be a very sensible feature. (Even better would be ground and/or arc fault protection in the cord, but that gets expensive.)
Most such standardized tests, atleast now-a-days, are objective-MCQ type questions that feature heavily on certain core stem subjects as Maths, Science etc.

This is partially to allow examiners to create a bank of questions that can be rotated around easily, and also to create easily markable exams that can be OCR-ed automatically and don't require manual markers.

(I think the SAT English essay is an outlier, in most countries these sorts of subjective questions are simply not a part of standardized test, at least for competitive tests like University Entry)

I think it's hard to argue an MCQ marginalizes anyone.
Yes; on bicycle it is certainly possible to ride and maneuver at speed without touching the handlebar, weight shift only. (Or at least it was possible 25 years ago when I was more nimble :-)
That sounds like conspiracy theory. I think it is more likely the combination of ordinary racism with woke militantism. They think certain minorities aren't smart enough to pass SAT standards so the solution to get more of them in, is to not test for SAT.

It's the same stupidity that leads well-thinking liberals to bring their kids to drag strip shows because in their little mind "trans = gogo dancers in gay clubs".
This is a fully general argument against any progress: let’s not improve any production processes, because if we make stuff cheaper to make, everyone will have to do it the new, efficient way, which would be terrible. Just try to think of similar proposals in the realm of computing: imagine suggesting that hardware companies shouldn’t make CPUs and memory faster, because this will allow software to do more things and do them faster, which will force people to buy this new, more productive hardware, and will put out of business companies trying to develop software for and run it on old, less productive Pentium 4s.

This is extremely silly: with this attitude, we’d never have transformed our economy away from where majority people work in agriculture to where only a small fraction does, and the rest is freed to make other products and services nicer and more affordable.
The truth is that it's not possible to to push renewable electricity generation up to arbitrary levels by just continuing to build more and more of them, especially with the mix that Germany ended up going with, because not only are they intermittent but every solar panel produces electrity at basically the same time and stops producing at basically the same time and the same with wind. This means that eventually, extra renewable generation mostly just cannabalizes the existing renewable generation by producing at the same time as them and forcing it to shut down in order not to overwhelm the grid rather than replacing non-renewable generation. This causes a rapid explosion in cost, and those costs ultimately have to be paid for by the public somehow whether that's via high energy bills or increased taxes. Germany's renewable energy mix was particularly bad in this regard because they had a lot of solar which is cheap on paper but isn't useful that far north in the winter when energy demand is at its highest.
This would work the other way around in practice (source: Snowden): the NSA would voluntarily give the data that the French want off of AWS in exchange for whatever data the NSA wants from within the French territory.

The company wouldn't have to refuse anything, because they wouldn't even be aware that this is happening at all. All the company knows is that they host data on US servers.

I mean this is what Snowden described many years ago, it's probably way worse, more legalized and even more automated now.

> I mean, how far are we from interactively describing the problem in English and having an AI translate it directly to ASM instructions?

Not Assembler but someone has documented their todo app on youtube.

The youtube comments are interesting, and I'd say, see how far you get trying to build an app with it meeting all the requirements, thats the real proof in the pudding.
This shows up as greyed out for me -- I think the means downvoted? If so, that's a shame, as this really comment really intuits and susses out a reasonable hypothesis based on incentives.
You are completely correct. I was lazy and didn't want to add another page to the site so I put the instructions in the comments. #1 TODO.
I won't do anything that requires more time from me than it does for them, simple as that. If they think it's worth it to waste 10-20 man hours for a day on sites, that's concerning but not disqualifying.
Or an AI-informed test. For example, the “reasonable person” test is beautiful in how it adapts to the times. If AI itself provides the test, the test evolves with the state of the art.

For example, perhaps AI subject to regulation XYZ is defined to be any AI which cannot be identified as AI by other AI.
At least for the two houses I was in, there were income disparities _within_ each house. It was never much talked about; I only realized it after a couple of years of getting to know individuals better. But I was in two (of the three?) houses with a very bohemian attitude I guess, and very little of our activities involved spending much.
I have a problem with this and similar carbon capture solutions in that I have trouble imagining that the solution to reducing atmospheric carbon is to build from scratch a whole new parallel industrial infrastructure side-by-side with the existing one, with all the fossil-burning bootstrap costs that will be required, and taking perhaps decades that we don't have.

I have a simpler idea, someone please tell me if it's crazy or not:

Millions of tons of sargassum seaweed are floating free in the oceans. Sargassum stalks have air-filled nodules which keep them afloat.

The idea is to outfit ships with shredders or rollers that suck up the sargassum, puncture the air nodules and send the seaweed to the bottom of the ocean, where its constituent carbon will be sequestered for centuries at least.

It should be possible to refit existing ships, like oil tankers, automate them, and launch in very little time. They could roam continuously on wind, solar or nuclear power.

Eliminated sargassum will regrow, as the ocean will continue to produce it to the limit of its capacity, thus sucking up more carbon and providing an endless supply to target.

No new industrial infrastructure, easy and cheap to create a pilot project and quick to scale up. No competition for land or land-based energy resources. Your average multi-billionaire could start doing it if governments weren't interested.
I prefer human check-out lines because I don't particularly like having to do work for the store I'm shopping at.
Wanted to play, but after the tutorial a first touch makes the ship disappear. When I reload the page, I can see the ship again, and the landing curve, then again if I touch the screen everything disappear except for the stars.
So let's say I don't shop at Amazon Go because I just never cared and had no idea what it was. But I am a frequent Amazon.com shopper. I return an Item and it tells me a list of places I can take it. I see Amazon Go listed just like the UPS store. Or just like any other drop location. So I go to the Amazon Go store just assuming it's like every other store in the entire world. Only to find it's closed to me because I didn't bring the app with me. Does that make any sense to people? Why is this so hard to figure out why someone might be confused when they get there to just drop off a goddamn box?

Why don't the people in the store have some flexibility to let you in? God forbid someone besides a computer has to make a decision.
> Are there any proof to dismiss that other planets don't have any kind of effect on human psyche and body?

That's not how this works - I don't need to prove it doesn't, you need to prove it does. The null hypothesis is that they don't. Russell's Teapot is a great thought experiment for this - just because I can't prove it's not true doesn't mean I should accept it. Alternatively, would you accept that the moon is what defines digestion and makes us poop just because you can't disprove it might have some effect?

I don't think your arguments hold much weight - SAD is a problem with vitamin D. Menstrual cycle and lunar cycle, while sharing similar lengths (though not for many women), is by all evidence a coincidence to the best of my knowledge (again, unless you can prove otherwise). You need to provide a mechanism for why Neptune being in the seventh house can effect someone biologically before I'll consider it. If you have examples I'm all ears.

> It baffles me, how many people in tech dismiss astrology even though there are no proof to acknowledge or deny their effect on human psyche and body.

Again, if there is no proof by default most scientifically minded people tend to assume it's not true.

We would like to know who is competent before we hire them. The point is that we do these types of tests so that we don't hire them in the first place.

We can't hire everybody. I can't hire 20 people (then fire 19 of them) for the 1 position in the 8 Person team I want to fill. That can't work.

Just hiring someone and then firing them 2 weeks later is expensive as fuck. We can't just do that until we find someone actually competent.

Your "easy solution" is only easy if you don't think about it at all.

Self-hosting is a big operations problem, with few tools to automate it.

Long ago, I had an associate tell me that he was having some success with setting up Wordpress sites for local political organizations. I said to him: "Oh, that's really neat! What are you doing to ensure that the sites stay up to date with security patches?" His response was completely unrelated to my question, which I figured was my answer and was why there are so many hacked sites out there.

Anything I deploy needs to have an upgrade plan. Ideally, something that provides a package (either on distro or a repo the package provides), so "apt update" will resolve it. Docker can be a good way as well, Sentry does a pretty good job at this.
Let's be honest, Neptune isn't a planet, it's a feeling.
Thomas Sowell breaks down discrimination into far more useful categories.

> At a minimum, we need to know what we ourselves mean when we use a word like "discrimination," especially since it has conflicting meanings. The broader meaning--an ability to discern differences in the qualities of people and things, and choosing accordingly--can be called Discrimination I. The narrower, but more commonly used, meaning--treating people negatively, based on arbitrary aversions or animosities to individuals of a particular race or sex, for example--can be called Discrimination II, the kind of discrimination that has led to anti-discrimination laws and policies.

He goes on to break Discrimination I down into two subcategories, A and B.

Type Ia: "The ideal, and more costly, variation is seeking and paying the cost for information that would permit judging each individual as an individual, regardless of the group from which that individual comes."

Type Ib: "In other cases, where such information is too costly to be worth it, individuals may be judged by empirical evidence on the group they are part of."

An example of type Ib is judging a person's ability to pay back a mortgage loan based on their income.
It's a completely reasonable question -- reach out to your Congressional representatives to kick off the initiative!
Due to the nature of poor people having no economic option except to do labor, the above system would effectively only return the money back to the workers. Anyone with enough wealth accumulated to no longer need to work would be paying more in taxes than they receive by UBI

As for whether the entire system of investing materials/capital when a project is risky should be rewarded at all (ostensibly the rich class' job) - mine is a conservative take. It could be rewarded less, certainly (via a wealth tax). Completely removing that mechanism ("money illusion") seems like a recipe for a society where there is little point in taking any risky venture.
Unrelated to the article, but I had to close three popovers before I could read it.

Do the people who make these websites not realize how unusable they're making them?

And then even bigger question is: In the entire world do they think there is a single person who actually wants to interact with these popovers before reading the article?
There's also a lot of pressure to deliver weekly episodes if that was your goal. I think at some point you become unable to reflect that you're approaching burnout and should have taken a break twenty episodes ago.

I'm a smoker who worked next to one of these stores, so I spent a good deal of time on the curb outside. I'd see multiple people enter and exit the CVS anytime I was out there, but I'm not sure I ever saw anyone do more than stand outside the Amazon Go trying to figure out what it was before moving on.
In a way it’s even worse. Listing the stuff you don’t want crawled might be more like a text file with a list of vulnerabilities that hackers shouldn’t use against you.
I have been caught off-guard by coding tasks in the middle of an interview that I thought was more geared for casual conversation, and it's not always a comfortable feeling, but sometimes it can prevent either party from wasting a lot of time.

However, I've also been a few hours into a homework assignment thinking that I could probably go down some rabbit-hole to try to perfect something that I may have been struggling with, and sometimes can't determine the appropriate stopping point.

The "probationary employment" would be more like, I don't know, a gift card, or something, vs. something formal.

That way, if I totally bombed out in some assessment, no big deal, here's something for taking the time to apply, and maybe I could use the card to buy a book.

Now, I get that companies aren't giving gift cards away to all of their interviewees, so this type of thing would only come after at least the first round of interviews, etc.

More often than not, a non-interested company will often not even tell why they didn't pass the assessment, and it generally feels like a waste of time.
