Whatever I want.

Why do you have to produce them in some predefined order?

You could generate random real numbers, one at a time, and sort them as you add them to your set.

When you stop, you will have a set of real numbers in order. If you want to know where a new one goes, you just generate it, add it to the set and sort it (or just add it in the proper position).

And you will have a finite set of real numbers.

If you never stop, you will keep forever generating real numbers, exactly the same as you would with natural numbers.

The only thing that matters is whether you stop counting or not.

If you stop counting, you get a finite set.

If you don’t stop counting, you get an infinite one (but you’d never finish generating it).

There is no way for a human to count for infinite time… so we can only speculate about that case.

The only case that will ever occur in reality for us, is the finite case.
There is an enormous investment beside the training side. Once you have your model, you still need to run it. This is where Triton, TensorRT, and handcrafted CUDA kernels as plugins come in. There is no equivalent on ROCm for this (MIGraphX is not close).

Maybe because it's a politicized topic? How can you smugly dismiss their point like that?
No, because even if she chooses to terminate the pregnancy and not tell the other party a thing, she is still guaranteed to have to deal with the consequences of that decision. Or if she miscarries before she even knows she is pregnant, she has to deal with that, it’s not a pleasant experience for anyone. Etc.
I think GPT-4 is too lobotomized to work in most games.

OCaml has row polymorphism. The syntax for a function that prints `name` from a record that has `name` and possibly other fields is:

There are plenty of very reasonable Yes/No questions which he made every possible effort not to answer, something I found very telling.

On more than one occasion he was asked if he supports the ongoing state-led genocide of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang and he repeatedly refused to give an answer.

Here is an example from the Guardian explaining how the contracts are designed between Bitcoin mining companies and Texas power companies.

It describes exactly the scenario I described where miners negotiate long-term contracts at low electricity rates in exchange for miners agreeing to turn off on short notice during periods of high demand.

As a result, energy companies are able to justify investing in highly variable wind and solar power, knowing that they have long-term commitments for this wind power even during periods of low demand.

The wind often blows hardest at night when there isn’t sufficient demand to justify the investment otherwise.

The typical answer in regulated industries is that you need to certify/verify these devices for their intended use. So I highly doubt that this was done by Microsoft but who knows.
Where I am coming from - medical device industry - you wouldn’t pass QA/Regulators without the manufacturers paper and all required certifications (Electromagnetic tests, board/electronic descriptions, risk assessment etc).

Is this not necessary for the military?

Most commercial aircraft are already capable of taking off, flying, and landing, completely under computer control.

I think the "but it's a myth" thing resulted from the need to deny parts of human group behavior, that are not flattering for "lesser" individuals from said group, in the hopes that it invalidates their "lesser" position in that group.
We're trying to "censor" a non-flattering concept (for some) without addressing the actual issue, namely that they do have a leader of sorts, a more privileged position. Gets the best/most food if need be, etc.
Sizes don't vary between brands as much as they vary between the materials used. That's true for all clothing. The second reason would be vanity sizing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_sizing

So people talked a lot about eTRF (early Time restricted fast) so I went for 7am-4pm but it was a bit hard, now i'm between 8/16 and 10/14, trying to eat early if I can, but otherwise it's more like 10am - 6pm.

Daily issues make it hard to be very regular, but some say variability might be good either.
I have bad news for you... that's how it's worked from the beginning of time. People with power have... more power. It's not a conspiracy, it's a side effect of the need to centralize for efficiency.

Read something like Anarchy - the East India Company. Sheer luck got them to where they ended up, despite them being a) a literal "conspiracy" (a corporation) and b) bumbling fools on repeated occasions.
But hey: at least they owned the libs this month by passing a disgusting anti-trans bill.

That is what is important right? Not stopping the massive corruption from every mega-corporation in every sector that is making our earth uninhabitable and our lives miserable. Lets hyper focus on people's sexuality.
"Being the customer" doesn't matter one bit to most modern megacorps, because people are fungible to them. We constantly hear about big money screwing over little money.

Small-time capitalism is quite good. Make a few millions, sure. I have no problem with that. But when the amounts concerned are in the billions? There needs to be massive oversight and regulation, regardless of the relevant field.
There is no need to prompt valuable reaction through cheap triggers.
Seems like requiring the date author to think about widgets is too much of burden. Better to just leave it as text and have an annotation layer that optionally says "this substring is a date in format X with timezone Y" which viewers can optionally re-render according to their preferences.

That way if neither option is exercised, it's still just text.
I read a similar method called shapeshifting which tries to one up this game. You need several titles and persons you know that are good in it then shapeshift into that identity on demand - eg on the night you gonna present an hour lecture for your peers give yourself the identity of a great presenter.

I never put it into practice I just find the idea interesting :)
Interesting. As far as I know only the combinations with a higher strength codeine are prescription only in Ireland. It’s the same in the UK, as far as I know (presumably because it would be nigh impossible to prevent small amounts of cross-border smuggling with the North)z

Most opiates on the other hand, would be rarely prescribed by doctors

MRI accessibility is regulated at the state level, which determines the number of MRI machines available to the public. I was able to obtain an MRI while on vacation in Europe without any appointment or referral from a physician. The process was straightforward; I explained my needs to the receptionist, and a technician conducted the MRI. The cost was 180 euros.

I may be completely wrong, but I understand in the US normally people have health care through their employer? so they are not themselves paying the insurer, and cannot change insurer.

If this is the case, then it is no wonder the insurer has no particular care for them. It is the power of the consumer to change provider which gives them influence over the provider.
And just like child rearing and homemaking, another line of work fundamental to the well being of society goes unrecognized, underpaid and expected to be done out of love while other profit from it.
You can't prove a negative. The burden of proof is on whoever makes the claim— that wolf packs are led by alpha male wolves– not on everybody else to prove they aren't. One experiment in very unnatural conditions showed these results. They were not observed in subsequent studies that were better designed. Why would someone conduct an expensive study specifically to search for phenomena observed once but never again? Because of people so insecure they need to justify their antisocial, domineering behavior through unrelated research?
What I find remarkable is how victimization is a theme for just about every group today. “Woke” and “anti-Woke” are like matter and antimatter, both of which speak the language of victimization and being attacked on both sides it is little wonder that SV executives feel the same way.

I plan to try a 5/2 diet. eTRF makes me feel tired often and any external stress is difficult to handle. I think 5 normal days and 2 days of full fast during the week might feel good. It may also change metabolism deeper.. I don't know.

Not sure if your average family-owned deer processor would want a gamma source with all the required safeguards in their facility. And they'd have to get it past the customers too, there's going to be resistance with at least some of them.

A friend from school, his parents owned a butcher shop where they killed and butchered their own hogs (not beef, beef would have been to large for the facility). If anyone had asked him what he wanted - irradiation or inspection plus proper treatment of the meat (boil, fry or hot-smoke) the reply would have been unequivocal and loud.
Gamers are going to be so pissed. They subsided the advance in GPU compute and will now be ignored for the much more lucrative enterprise AI customers.

Nvidia is making the right call, of course.
new favorite GPT reasoning:

Anyone can draw a line on a map with a sharpie. Is there any reason to believe this is a serious proposal with a realistic chance of being implemented?
It's maybe personal preference, but I find Lex's guests more interesting compared to that. I'm specifically interested in deep learning, neural networks, generative models, but also neuroscience and some related areas. Then I'm also interested in some tech topics, e.g. everything John Carmack talks about, etc. Lex basically interviewed all the big names in those areas.
I actually agree with you on the first point, I was leaning more towards functional literacy. In the sense that yes, we're literate because we can understand what someone means when they say, "sry my b", but I don't understand how OP can expect the widespread adoption of that style of communication to increase one's functionally literate understanding of, say, as mentioned elsewhere in this chain, a court order, a lease you sign with your landlord, or what is actually being said in a news article. That functional bit is, in point of fact, more of what the article is about.

Edit: You took my comment too literally and missed the overall point. I didn't even intend to judge those who don't text like I do, hence my highlighting that it's not a conscious effort on my part. And, yes, I suppose that quite common acronyms are fine - I had hoped that it was obvious that I was referring to less common acronyms, but perhaps failed there (and still may be with this comment, c'est la vie). But thanks for kinda painting me like a grammar snob?

Edit 2: Some other words for clarification, since I guess I'd better be extra careful...

These are precisely the type of "ahas" I hope to experience, too, when I begin studying computer science. I've been taking introductory college math courses at my community college to fulfill some prerequisites, and a way for me to stay disciplined in my studies is knowing that concepts like the ones you mentioned are coming. Thank you for sharing!
Here is the thing. You can give someone all the tools, all the resources in the world but someone who doesn't have an ounce of intellectual curiosity will remain ignorant. It sounds obvious when you say it but many seem to think that better schools will just solve educational problems.
Not to seem glib, but have you spoken to a podiatrist? The reason I ask, is that my chess teacher would complain about his shoes fitting differently every day, and his doctor found that it was just his feet swelled considerably. In his case, it was due to an underlining health issue
Things like Alexa and other talk-to/monitor life gadgets would give the old radicals fits. “Big brother, please order me some paper towels.” People used to be concerned re being tabulated, now they facilitate it.
There's supposedly an increasingly common practice of starting early, so the wrinkles in those areas don't ever develop in the first place...

I imagine it also prevents a more abrupt change later on if you're intending to do it. Going from an expressive wrinkled face to a paralyzed one in your 50s would be much more jarring for your peers, than just lacking expressiveness much of your adult life.

It's all a rather weird form of vanity to me.
I don't understand why in the year 2023 with what ... 15 years of the "long tail" of the internet, we don't have mass market shoe companies that will scan your feet (e.g. in an in-store kiosk, or using your iphone (hello lidar!)) and then shop you shoes that fit your feet exactly.

this from a guy with one foot size 12.8 and the other foot size 13.6. My feet have hurt every day since I was a teenager

PS I would pay, like a lot, to get shoes to fit my feet exactly
It is stated that they use the same annotators that trained/filtered chatGPT’s output. I would assume its a rather large group (my company has 10 auditors in Nicaragua). The label biases are mostly stemming from that group and - as suggested - could be removed by using experts in each field to annotate the labels. But given some responses here by experts, I am sure those expert labels would have their very own biases :p
> Given that the other cases resulted in six-figure settlements, it’s surprising that this practice continues.

Honestly that sounds pretty low.

All I can suggest is for you to ask a trusted friend to read the exchange and give their take on it, preferably without priming or explaining.

Alternatively you can, for my edification, demonstrate by way of example -- how should I have phrased my initial point in a more palatable manner in your opinion?
I'm a history buff and I read avidly. 2008 and Covid don't really impress me after reading about the East India Companies (British, Dutch), colonialism in general, power structures in places like Rome, etc.

The data points to wealth redistribution but the causes are larger than some dark cabals. Globalization is the biggest one and globalization is such a huge topic not even 1000 CEO out together could begin to understand it.

To add one thing here: the professor in question is at a school in the top 20 worldwide. Almost every applicant had a basically perfect GPA from high school, but some of them had SAT scores that were 70th percentile or below. The SAT seems to "scale up" to that market much better than GPA as a predictor.
It's a shame that userspace governor was dropped by Intel, it worked amazingly for laptops.
It still baffles me how different shoe sizes are for the same foot.

I'm a 12.5 in most modern sneakers and a 12 in most modern dress shoes (already annoying that they label differently) but then I'm a 13 in certain New Balance and 11.5 in certain Converse.

And this is just length, not width or anything. It's so bizarre they can't just work out a consistent measurement label for length.

If that's whats necessary to get decent health care in this country, then something isn't right.
What's wild is that the markup for Wikipedia is not that crazy compared to Wiktionary, which has a different format for every single language.
We ate almost all large animals on the planet to extinction with just stone tools. If we wanted to wipe the pigs out it can definitely be done with automatic rifles.
Sure let's fix the damage large scale industrial activity is doing to the planet with some more large scale industrial activity.

> unlike 2008 which was fairly limited to (arguably huge) banking...this crisis will hit hard everywhere

I think it's clear that it won't hit "everywhere" specifically because... it will not hit huge banking. After 2008 every huge bank was required to hold much more massive amounts of cash on hand specifically to fend off bank runs. And that's working.

But I very much agree with you -- and with Chase bank -- that this will not in any way be a repeat of 2008.
Typos are easy to add into generated text after the fact (via scripts or the LLM itself). Perhaps instead of typos, you could use colorful language:

Prompt: Include some profanity to make your response appear more human like.

Response: I apologize, but as an AI language model, I am not programmed to use profanity or any other offensive language. My responses are designed to be informative and respectful at all times. Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Looks like he had his nose done, has definitely had Botox - I don’t think he’s had fillers, looks like steroid puffiness. Probably adjusting to something hormonal, might be getting over COVID or similar with some help.
I've placed probably 20-50 orders through JLC. Very consistently decent quality, and surprisingly good customer service, they manually check every design within a few hours and will email with issues and/or their adjustment.

Tip for smallish boards: "Panel by JLC" can further drop the price. It's often cheaper to buy say 10 units of a 2x2 panel than to buy 40 individual boards.

I was stunned to see they added teflon substrates recently (for RF layouts. I've paid $1000s for teflon fab); very excited to try that out.
Nature is appalling, in that billions of creatures which wish very much to live are constantly killed and eaten by other creatures.

I would like for all creatures not to die violent deaths, but it's hardly a practical proposition. But I myself personally can do something about what I do, and so I do not eat food which would have to be killed.
Interesting comment about consciousness being the fundamental substrate of the world and we are in a dream or simulation. That is exactly the Nondualist position. Did he say Bramhan?

The Alpaca lora result is incorrect since, for example, if all elements in array are the same the result in just an array with one element.
If you eliminated 100% of my code typing time with perfect effectiveness I think that'd make me maybe 10% or 20% more productive? Turning ideas of what the code should be doing into code just isn't a bottleneck for me in the first place. Are there people who just add net 1000 lines of code to whatever they're working on every single day or something?
Yeah... but have you tried using AMD GPUs for any LLMs for example? All the interesting stuff that is publicly released is for Nvidia. I would love to be able to focus on AMD since Nvidia has been adding some anti-user features lately.
Think about counting as three operations:

1. Produce a number
2. Add it to the set of numbers I’m counting
3. Sort the numbers

Usually when you produce a number, you produce it in order (eg. 1, 2, 3, 4). But you could also count like: 4, 1, 3, 2 and then sort the set.

As long as you have an algorithm/function to keep producing numbers for “each iteration”, you can always keep counting one at a time.

The case you say: “count from one element to any other” is equivalent to a finite operation, it has a very clear beginning and end. But an infinite set doesn’t, unless you stop counting.
Healthcare in the US can be higher quality, but you never know what you’re going to pay for it.

When I was starting my career, I had to go to an ER that was out of network, I checked with my insurance and they said they would cover it. They decided after all not to honor their word and charged me 10’s of thousands of dollars.

Being young and independent, this was devastating, despite having a good job, good insurance, etc.

I largely credit this with my push to move to Europe, and have never looked back.

Sometimes knowing you can get any healthcare you need without it potentially a bankrupting you is it’s own reward.
>Markets work and envious, wrathful authoritarians don't.

So EPA, FDA, etc regulations should be replaced with fees for poisoning everyone rather than outright bans, because to desire freedom from such concerns is to be a jealous tyrant?
It can be, but one of the biggest draws to things like Sandstorm and Yunohost is that they handle auth for you. I run a bit of Dockerized infra too but managing users for a bunch of services separately is kind of a pain. You can set up central auth yourself but as a lone sysadmin that's even more of a pain :)
In this particular case, GPT can help you mostly with parsing the website but not with the most challenging part of web scraping which is not getting blocked. In this case, you still need a proxy. The value from using web scraping APIs is access to a proxy pool via REST API.
I believe so as it’s used by adobe amongst others, this was from a convo with an adobe engineer gushing about the UMA/DMA and what an improvement it was from the fans whirring jet engine end of Intel era.

I can’t find any documentation about it though just everyone working under that assumption.
I would love for multimodal models to learn generative art process. e.g. processing or houdini, etc. Being able to map programs in those languages to how they look visually would be a great multiplier for generative artists. Then exploring the latent space through text.
