> My point is simply that pointing to UN resolutions against a country doesn’t exactly accomplish as much as you think it does

Yes it does. When even closest allies, including the whole Europe, vote against the US, then it's a clear sign that the US position does not have any support in the world, the same way Russia has no support for its narrative on Ukraine when only Syria and North Korea embrace it to the full extent.

That analysis you refer to was written by unwatch.org, a lobby group with strong ties to Israel. I see no reason to value their anonymous assessments higher than the opposing view held by the overwhelming majority of United Nations.

No amount of US-centered whataboutism changes the simple fact that Russia is in total international isolation on Ukraine. 3 vs 141 speaks for itself. 141 countries told Russia to get the fuck out in March 2022 and the same number of countries voted again last month to reaffirm that position.

Given that you are a Russian, I understand your denial. Many Germans couldn't bear the burden and shame of Nazi crimes either and made excuses or denied them until their final breath. Since I live in Eastern Europe, I have front row seat and meet such Russians on daily basis. I can show them Russian missiles raining down on apartment blocks hundreds of miles away from the frontline and they'll make all sorts of stupid and even outright childish excuses to deny that Russia is involved in any way. Apparently all such videos and photos are Photoshopped, hundreds of thousands of refugees are all liars and crisis actors, and so forth. Only the Kremlin never lies.

It's pretty amazing to see how even highly educated Russians totally turn off their brains and start rehashing the same old debunked PR narratives when I mention specific keywords. They act almost like chatbots, say a certain keyword and it'll trigger an automatic response. Somehow everyone became experts on Kosovo (even you!) after Russia started raining down artillery shells on Ukrainian cities. Did they, or is it just a spoon-fed coping mechanism?

I always thought of containers as essentially a universal linux package manager. If you ever yum install something and see it pull in dependencies, it's not like there's an elegant software solution that makes that happen; it's work done by people who maintain lists of what each package requires and compatible versions. Red Hat puts considerable effort into that, and it's work duplicated by other distros, each with their own packaging idiosyncrasies.
More than once I thought it'd be cool to have each in-flight message assigned to a separate thread, dispatched asynchronously when you don't assign the message response to anything (or in the same thread as the caller when not), and see how it goes on processors with hundreds of cores.

AFAIK, being a rent stabilized unit has no bearing on the actual rent cost, it just means landlords cannot raise the rent above a certain percentage after contract renewal. My 1br apartment is almost $4k/mo and it's rent stabilized.

how hard is it to "update" an LLM like GPT-4 with recent data instead of being frozen in time at the training date? Obviously you could use the increased context size to work around this, but being able to augment the base model seems like it would be the ideal use case for many high value projects like a version of Copilot that knows a company's entire code base and knows about newer libraries and updates

Or unless some magic environment variable changes, or one of the runtime dependencies changes, or it is run on a different operating system, or permissions aren't setup right, or one of its tasks errors out.

Shell scripts are digital duct tape, the vast majority of shell scripts do not come close to being reliable software.

I was replying to a comment that said it “seems fine.”

It does not seem fine.

It is incomprehensible and doesn’t match the results I’ve seen from 7B through 65B.

It is true that RLHF could improve it, and perhaps then this severe of optimization will seem fine.
Pretty nice. Gave it a whirl and a few thoughts:

1. Very performant. Opened a large(ish) rust project and the auto-completion and goto symbol were both very snappy. Scrolling is very smooth and haven't noticed any hiccups or pauses so far.
2. Doesn't seem like there is a way to disable font ligatures? I find them really annoying and wish I could disable.
3. Stuck with the built-in themes, none of which I particularly like.

Overall seems very promising, will keep an eye on it.

Bilateral "thinking" makes sense, and you can even feed generative AI back into itself for simple error correction.

I believe that we'll see the most success/accuracy once you have generative AI compare itself to itself, monitored by a GAN, which then spits out it's answer while retaining some knowledge as to how it came to the conclusion. A tricameral mind.
I'd like to agree, but it does seem like AI is getting better rapidly at providing the context and the "why" too (as well as creativity and critical thinking)

the language models can tell you how to do a fourier transform, and then you can have a conversation about what it all means, why it's important, the discovery, etc

[me] why are fourier transforms relevant to learn? what is the history behind them

[bing] Fourier transforms are relevant to learn because they are used in many fields such as signal processing, physics, and engineering. They are used to convert a function from the time domain to the frequency domain, which can help to identify the frequencies present in a signal and in what proportions. The Fourier transform was first introduced by Joseph Fourier in 1822 as a way to solve the heat equation. Would you like more information on the history of Fourier transforms or its applications?

Likewise. I've always insisted on building from in-house copies of external dependencies for precisely this kind of scenario. It astonishes me the number of people who didn't get why. Having things like docker rate-limiting/shutdowns, regular supply chain attacks, etc has been helping though.

Slightly related: actually knowing for sure that you've got a handle on all of the external dependencies is sometimes harder than it should be. Building in an environment with no outbound network access turns up all sorts of terrible things - far more often than it should. The kind that worry me are supposedly self-contained packages that internally do a bunch of "curl | sudo bash" type processing in their pre/post-install scripts. Those are good to know about before it is too late.
because they could be viewing all their private communication/media on their device and that causes a lot of anxiety cause they won't confirm or deny if they have access.

> that is far different than having a OAI/Microsoft service telling some kid to neck themselves

Ok I see what you are saying. I feel like with AI/GPT, we would almost have to change the concept of a "company being responsible for it's software". Up until now, most software has an X number of inputs and a Y number of outputs (click "get new mail" in Gmail, new messages arrive for example).

But what happens when the software you design can accept and return billions of possible parameters? There is simply no way of determining what the output is or could be and that's fundamental to the software.

The example I think of in my head is a user opening MS Word, typing out "F* YOU" and then sending a screenshot to Microsoft telling them "How could your software offend me like this?". Now obviously this is different than GPT but it follows the same rough rule of "billions of possible inputs, billions of possible outputs"

SQL tables are multisets (sets allowing duplicates) rather than sets as defined by the relational model. This was likely a deliberate decision in order to make implementations simpler and faster, since it avoids some uniqueness checks. For example it is much simpler to implement UNION if you don't have to check for duplicates. But arguably this push some complexity to the user, since duplicates lead to all kinds of problems.

On the other hand three-valued logic is obviously more complex than regular boolean logic. But I don't agree with the author that three-valued is in conflict with the relational model.

But what's the difference?

Sharpening algorithms might be statically defined rather than a bunch of weights, but they take a blurred image and create new data in it through approximations and heuristics defined in the algorithm.

I agree that it feels like there should be a difference, but I can't pin down what that actually is.
> Extracting sufficient coherency from path tracing in order to be able to get good SIMD utilization is a surprisingly difficult problem

Huh, I'd have assumed SIMD would just be exploited to improve quality without a perf hit, by turning individual paths into ever so slightly dispersed path-packets likely to still intersect the same objects. More samples per path traced...
As someone who did a cross-country trip on Mint, the entire state of Nebraska up until just recently had no coverage.

I strongly agree. Luckily, a lot of other people do, and the ecosystem is moving towards run-time permissios ("portals") that allow users to confirm access.

It does take a while for toolkits to start using them, but AFAIK, as an example, both KDE and GNOME now transparently use portals for the file chooser dialog.

It will take more time for everything to move to newer, safer APIs (Wayland, screensharing portal, etc). The situation is much better than it was a few years ago, though.

And most frontends now display required permissions; KDE even recently integrated permission management in is system settings.

Some portals still need to be devised though, especially for device access (gamepads, webcams, etc).

Yes.

But that is not the same as GPT having it's own logical reasoning.

An LLM that creates its own behavior would be a fundamentally different thing than what "LLM" is defined to be here in this conversation.

This is not a theoretical limitation: it is a literal description. An LLM "exhibits" whatever behavior it can find in the content it modeled. That is fundamentally the only behavior an LLM does.

Two football star athletes at a local high school (poor, majority-Black neighborhood) died of mysterious brain tumors about 5 years ago. Their high school is a few hundred feet down a gentle grade from a row of auto shops. The parents of the deceased were certain for years that the auto shops were the problem, and brought it up repeatedly to city council and the mayor, but no one acted on it. No one even tested the groundwater until a routine inspection of the high school's heating system in the basement a couple years later, where they found extremely unhealthy levels of TCE. I'm not sure if they ever started enforcing things better, but knowing the local government I doubt it.
