> Granted, we used 4100k lights which are much bluer than 2700k.

You had this realization and yet still went the route of switching back to all incandescents?

It's trivially-easy to find 2700K LED bulbs. The ones I have look just as good as the old incandescent. And despite the article making it sound like you need a PhD to sort it out, you don't: most medium-end 60W-equivalent, 2700K LED bulbs look good and are easily available in any hardware store.

Yes, there are some which are worse, just, it's 2 or 4, not 100.

True, I had not thought about the survivorship bias, literally genetic I guess.
A good hint, but toothpaste is awesome.

Not only does it keep the cavity creeps away, it also can remove stains in wood finishing.

I once had a bottle of alcohol spill a little, and it discoloured the wood table stain. Toothpaste fixed it.

And the room smelled minty after, too!

Darklang, an innovative programming language, stops development on their “traditional” IDE and goes AI-first.
is it incompetent to not maintain something you don't want to maintain?
It's a bit more nuanced than that, what I mean is that the slow speed at which humans learn it's a foundation block of our society, if suddenly some new race of humans emerged that could read an entire book in a couple of minutes and achieve lifelong superhuman retention and assimilation of all that knowledge then we would have the exact same type of concerns than what we have today about AI, including how easily they could recreate high quality art, music and anything else with just a tiny fraction of the effort that the rest of us need to reach similar results.
With LLM's, Scratch is probably a closer interface to the sort of programming we'll all be doing in the near future.
I LOL'ed! You really brought out the QA and product testing on her, haha!
I disagree. When considering a broader timeline, we live in a time of extraordinary wealth, safety, and ease (especially in the west). It just happens that these things don't necessarily make us happy or even mentally healthy. Media channels constantly pump us with negativity-- fear, jealousy, and hatred of the other. I think most people just need a serious attitude adjustment. Life isn't easy no matter how many luxuries you have. Everything is likely doomed when considering the larger timeline. Suck it up and make your world a better place.

I agree with what I see to be the main thrust of this article: "AI" itself isn't a danger, but how people choose to use AI certainly can be dangerous or helpful. That's been true of every new technology in the history of mankind.

> Similarly, CNET used an automated tool to draft 77 news articles with financial advice. They later found errors in 41 of the 77 articles.

This kind of information is useless without a baseline. If they asked humans to draft 77 news articles and later when back to analyze them for errors, how many would they find?
Thank you for making me aware those exist. I have a mix of Hue & cheap Walmart color wifi bulbs. The Hue bulbs are undoubtedly much high quality (in both output & reliability) but you pay for it. The Walmart ones are 1/5 the cost, but very hit & miss on whether you can easily flash tasmota/esphome - and there is no way of knowing until you try because of newer firmwares being shipped in the same packaging.

I’ve never heard that customers churning out is a problem for dealers. My understanding is that someone ODing is actually good marketing for their product quality and will bring in more customers.
In the "Skunk Works" book they explain that you could throw a lit cigarette directly into a puddle of fuel and it would not ignite, due to the very high temps needed.

For this reason I think it's great to connect different temperature bulbs to each light switch in your house and switch between them during the day. I keep all of my bulbs on during the daytime and then switch to just the warm ones at night.
Unless you favor central planning economies, none of us except the developers have any say into what the project "needs". The better question are "what is the project worth?" and "how willing am I to take on the burden of supporting them?"

What about worker-owned collectives in technology?

This has seen some adoption in manufacturing and industry, but I am only aware of a few in tech.
> This is the first time I have heard Yoshua Bengio described as "dumb".

I was being cheeky: I meant it to mean "unable to speak". By feeding the personification narrative into itself, nothing is truly being said about what the model itself is and does: only the results of using it. Anyone who has based their understanding on that personified narrative is effectively "blind" to the true nature of the tech itself.

I admit I was also being rude, and that was intentional. To spend so much effort studying a thing, and base all of your conclusions on its output...I think it's absurd to then call oneself an expert. Expert of what? A black box you never even opened? The LLM itself can only perform inference, but we aren't held back by that limitation!

> the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

That is an excellent definition for the field of science that is AI. "An AI technology" "Working in AI" These statements use "AI" as a category of pursuit.

It's not a great definition for an AI. Those words already define themselves. Artificial Intelligence: That means it was created intentionally, and it thinks for itself. No one needs to search a dictionary to know what "an AI" is.

If "Intelligence" is an adjective, the definition you provided fits. If "Intelligence" is the noun, then it better be "an intelligence".

> Yeah, evaluating language models is extremely difficult. Hence OpenAI Evals, etc.

I wasn't trying to say that it's wrong to evaluate what an LLM does when prompted with the text from a test. I think that can provide valuable data and insights.

The score we would give to a human taking the test is not valuable data. The behavior being measured does not align to any part of the LLM's process.

We don't have to approach this blindly. We can have an explicit understanding to base research on. That doesn't mean making assumptions about the results, but it does mean better understanding the process that leads to them.

>> 4. An LLM is understood to be a person in a black box, and we could not possibly understand what that person will do next. Danger!

> No serious person believes this.

Not literally, but narratively many do.
The problem is that people have a limited amount of caring and markets are really good at taking advantage of consumer ignorance. If you care about color rendering but don't know what color rendering is, you can't shop for it (and if you do know what it is you can't shop for it if it's not on the spec sheet).

> But these articles about AI are nuts, some state AI will destroy all life on Earth. That was a headline I ran across that was suppose to be signed by some scientists. I did not read it because it sounded crazy.

I'm going to give you some advice, without taking a stance on the content of that open letter one way or the other. If you do not engage with someone or some group because you think they 'sound crazy' based solely on a news headline, you are only limiting yourself.

Do yourself a favor and go read it for yourself, and make your own judgement about whether it is crazy. Maybe you read it and your suspicions are confirmed: you do think it is crazy, but now you have a first-hand view of exactly how crazy it is, and you can think about how to react given that influential people hold views you think are crazy. Or maybe you read it and your suspicions are overturned, and you have a first-hand view of a new perspective.

But if you just say "that's crazy, I'm not reading that" based on a news headline, you're letting a very superficial take determine your information diet. You're not even reading the article itself, just the headline! And the primary source the article and headline is based on is right there, it is relatively short.

And journalists don't even get to write their own headlines, which is a huge issue within journalism. Headline writing is a dedicated role that has been SEO-ed to death. If you're a journalist, it is taboo to publicly blame your headline writers for the stupid, reductionist, and misleading titles they gave the piece you wrote, but every journalist has stories to tell about how much they hate their headline writers.
Well, sure they can, unless you mean "guilty" in the sense of a court finding them guilty rather than in the sense that they actually committed the crime.
If something may cause a hike of my chance of losing job I don't really care how rosy it sounds. Yes I use it very often but I prefer it to stay where it is. By the same principle I wish graphics tech to be fixed approximately in the level of late 90s. Well but I don't expect to get what I want.

So this is basically different interest groups competing with each other. Usually the more technically advanced ones won towards the end but the more important thing is how long the other groups can drag it down.

Under the current social-economic world order, any large scale tech advance such as AGI will almost surely bring destruction to a whole generation of workers.

You think AGI, nuclear fusion and such will bring prosperity to us? Too naive, mon ami.
Can you run scratch locally?
The gulf between the world Python was written to address and the world we live in continues to grow. Python's native memory layout is actively hostile to any sort of performance on modern systems, so it's going to continue to have the problem that interacting with a faster runtime will require a ton of copying.

I've never been impressed by the claim that you can just drop in other faster languages into Python; the costs of communication are so staggeringly high that you have to write around it to have any gain, and by the time you've moved effectively your entire task into the underlying faster language, Python's gain is often quite minimal. NumPy works to some extent because it can fire off huge tasks from a single Python call, a lot of less numerical code can't do that, and I think the ML community still generally underestimates and fails to understand how much performance they leave on the floor in the Python portions of their code, at least based on my interaction with them.
Try quantised models. They perform reasonably well, although you probably want to run some benchmarks if you really want to get it done properly.
I had a crappy CV years ago organised like that. Now I wanted to go all fancy with a LaTeX one, but I forgot about adding a list of technologies for each entry.

Thanks.
> Also I hope that "bomb the GPU clusters! Nuke them!" becomes a meme.

I don't think that's quite what he's saying, or at least the intended interpretation is a bit more nuanced.

It's more like... suppose you assign tiers of severity to various international policies; A-tier, B-tier, C-tier, etc. Different tiers require different enforcement mechanisms. For example, the international response to a country violating the "United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning" would be different than the international response to a country massively irradiating the atmosphere.

I think he's trying to imply that the proposed policy changes should be A-tier. It isn't a call for individual action or preemptive violence. He's describing a pre-requisite property that any adopted policy must fulfill to have a chance at being successful (according to his analysis of the situation).

On a related note, he is not saying that these policies are likely to happen or are even feasible. He's criticizing the policy proposals in the "Pause Giant AI Experiments" open letter, and describing what he thinks a real policy would have to look like.
My thinking is high school graduation could be as early as 16 but more likely 17 or 18, so 1966 - 18 = 1948 (or 49 or 50). 1983 would be 35, though by the author's own math he'd be 39. I think its probably safe to discount "10 years old" memory for the Revell kit; I can't seem to find when the kit began production (because the Internet is about buying things) - but in order for high school graduation to be at age 18 then the kit would have to be produced and sold in 1958 which seems unlikely (or 1960 if graduating at age 16).
That's why SINAD is good, low enough sinad and the spur distribution irrelevant.

You arent going to hear intermodulation distortion at -110dBfs regardless of how you weight it.

I want zero distortion or as close to it, not euphonic distortion unless I put it in there via equalization or effects or whatever.

Honestly I'd rather Sublime had taken over instead of VSCode. It's just really good software. Sublime to me is up there with OpenBSD and the Golang standard library in terms of well written, "just works" software.
That's true, but not really relevant until you hit 1000s of chat members. MLS targets up to 50,000. But there isn't a plausible threat model for a secure chat that large (someone will leak or it will be infiltrated).
How about p5.js
Graphics centric which imo is easier to keep kids engaged.
The coding train yet channel has tons of videos on P5.js
Because VSCode can do everything Sublime can, and a lot more, for free.
I think it's fair to say that he is not an Orthodox Jew.
My kids didn't scream at me more regularly than coworkers tapped me in the shoulder to talk about random shit or ask questions that could be answered with a single search.

Of course everyone's experience will vary, which kind of invalidates the idea that all of this is because of WFH. It depends on your kids, your home/office, your work office, teammates, commute time and so on.

My point is that blanket statements like "WFH with kids ruins productivity" don't accurately portray the reality and helps bad managers justify unjustifiable RTO policies with anecdotes.

I know you didn't use a blanket statement though. But when I read your comment I could almost feel a bad manager reading it and using it to ruin more people's lives. Sorry about the rant.
We are not in contact with beir or the owner of the bei-cellar oganisation.

However, we started tracking our relevancy with the TREC 4 & TREC 5 data which are provided by the NIST organisation [1]. I can only tell that the results are very good and that we continue to improve that. We will talk about that in a blog post.

There is another benefit to <3000K indoor lighting: lighting is usually used in the evening, close to bed time. So a warmer light helps with people's circadian rhythm in preparing for sleep. Remember that light at sunset also becomes warmer.

If all your indoor lighting was 5000K, then it would be like you would be living your indoor life constantly at noon.

It's why software like f.lux was created (and the functionality has been incorporated into some OSes as well).
Forked packages of ESM-only to transpile them to Commonjs and publish them as a new package is reasonably common.

Or fork a Commonjs package that became a ESM-only package and backport changes to the package.
While shorting permit times is good, due diligence still has to be done. However a large project like a mine is still in the 5-10 year range, outside of permits. No new developments will have a material impact on supply if the EU etc are going for no combination vehicles by 2030.
I think at this point we can reasonably assume nobody has used AI for cancer diagnosis. Give it a year or two and maybe that's valid. Or maybe it even is true now if some high number of people have asked ChatGPT for tips about symptoms and decided not to go to the doctor based on its advice.

But either way, it's inarguable that Tesla AI has directly killed more people than any other publicly known AI. I suppose you could consider guided missiles, but those are not really AI (although you could make a similar argument that neither is FSD).
What OS are you running, then?

Linux, MacOS and Windows are all supported. I don't know a lot of commercial software that is cross-platform beyond those three.
If any Sublime Team member comes by just know that you guys have a solid software that many of us used when we left Notepad++ and still use.

I know the amount the U.S govt is spending on border security vs the amount of money being spent on Ukrainian aid. One dwarves the other by a full order of magnitude - showing exactly where the real priorities lie - NOT for the U.S. citizen.

No need for additional drug scanners at our ports or a border wall to reduce cartel trafficking. Who cares if tens-of-thousands of bright teenagers die of drugs being sent across the southern border ? We need Ukraine to crush Russia. RAWR.

"You know we're shipping military hardware to them and not pallets of dollar bills right?"

Ah.. but you are quite mistaken there. We are not just shipping military hardware. There is $30 billion in financial aid alone - and even far more being planned this year. Wow - thats more generous than many U.S. states receive for disasters.
Maybe for the Thing™, but from where I stand it does seem like Sublime Text might be headed towards the Abandonware territory if they don't wake up

It had a presence at some point, now every company I visit I see a lot of VS Code and Sublime is nowhere to be found on people's screens. I switched too. I liked sublime text a little better but VSC is free and the Rust integration was very pain free. I have painful memories of having to configure build systems sometimes with Sublime (not with Rust - I didn't use Rust at the time).

And I waste 8 seconds every time I need to boot it up...
A need to multi-task is 100% ADHD. Our (inattentive) ADHD brains are like a car engine that will stall if it's allowed to idle, and so we have to keep the revs up in order for it to keep running. For us inattentive ADHD people, the meds have the effect of raising our engine's idle speed so we don't have to keep our foot on the pedal through multi-tasking just to stay engaged.

It's easy to rationalize this behaviour, and it can feel amazing when you're on top of everything, but it can take a toll and end up in burn-out or disaster when all those (to mix metaphors) plates you've kept spinning eventually fall.
Scratch also has a plugins for BBC Micro:bit and Lego Boost. They work well although the old Boost hardware is lacking storage so only works in Bluetooth tethered mode. The solutions have two parts: 1. a side application to facilitate the Bluetooth connection from the web browser to the device; 2. additional block types to control the servos etc.

True story: when I started programming at age 11, in the book I saw a pair of assignments like:

x = x + y
y = y + 1

(or whatever). I was thinking, what, that has no solutions!

It's just due to notations; abusing the sacrosanct equal sign for something different. People otherwise have no problem with the idea of a datum being updated in place; it's part of everyday experience.
It's incompetent to not want to maintain it.
It’s not, though.

First, this driver actually specifies flicker, and it has a credible number. Second, I own several and have tested them. Performance is excellent. It dims well, too. If you want a crappy driver, you don’t need to spend $25 for it :)

Second, this LED chip is a serious one, with a serious data sheet, intended for people building their own fixtures.

Can you start him with JavaScript and basic web development instead? That's how I learned around that age (started around 5 or 6). The immediate feedback of being able to change something in text and immediately see the impact was a big thing that helped me. Likewise, something like helping him mod games he plays might be good.

Scratch always kind of struck me as a non-programmer's idea of how to teach children to code personally. (Or at least programmers that didn't start/weren't active as children).
My remote started with the pandemic, but experience has been very similar. In a sense, it is very sad how much parents are forced to give up, when they are in a non-remote position ( doubly so if it is artificial non-remote designation ).

I was always a very detached individual, but the experience changed me and my perspective a lot. The 2 weeks most men get for post birth bonding ( and some don't even have that ) is heartbreaking.

I am not suggesting we move to EU level craziness where a person takes a year off to care for a child, but I am sure there is some middle ground.. and from where I sit, WFH allows just that.
Looks kinda similar to early Flash, which was my first real programming experience.
