> Design is not just one thing or another. It happens at each layer.

I think we are in agreement. "How it works" is design. "How it looks" is also design. Sometimes, but not usually, one person may be able to do both types of design.
I mostly like to choose a data structure that's handy for modeling the data I'm worried about first. Then I write code to manipulate that data, including getting it into and out of other formats if necessary. Then I worry about what the application really needs to do with it. Once everything's a presentation or transformation of the central data structures, the code becomes fairly obvious. One I have the data handling and the UI, often the UI is just another case of presenting or updating the data.
Honestly, a lot of the anti-Tesla and anti-Musk arguments I've seen people post on-line, including here on HN, are like that comment, except in earnest. I'm not surprised so many people "missed the point" when your average Tesla/Musk thread on the Internet still has people posting blatant lies and trivially fact-checkable bullshit stories, like e.g. that apartheid emerald mine thing, and that's regardless of how cultured or enlightened the venue claims to be.
> Is there any evidence that this is true or should be an expectation? Is that really why billions of dollars are spent on this space?

Yes. If people only used social media to connect/follow people they know the industry would be making nothing.

Have you come across [Tidier.jl](https://github.com/TidierOrg/Tidier.jl) yet? It's a relatively recent package (to my understanding), but developing at a pretty rapid pace, and tries to be more ergonomic with its syntax.
> How shall we find meaning and purpose in a world without work?

What? Everyone in the world is brain damaged enough to all keep repeating this useless idea.

Work is just the shit you do for other people to stay alive. If a robot is doing that thing, I'll do something else. If robots do everything a person can do for zero marginal cost, then the we are in a post-scarcity utopia, why is that bad?
>We need only concern ourselves with what's external and the impact it has on society.

This I can wholeheartedly agree with.

In what way is atheism a danger or harm to society except that it violates your proposed monoculture?

She took money from some despicable characters. She let people in her care suffer "to reach God" but had the best medical care for herself, when she fell sick.

The original messaging middleware on which RabbitMQ (and other AMQP-capable message brokers) are based is IBM's WebSphere MQ fka MQseries. MQ can be used in a transactional fashion depending on whether messages are stored or can be timed out, and other QoS. Within CICS, MQ can also participate in distributed transactions along with database transactions, and this would be a typical way to use transactional message processing. And X/Open distributed transactions were one of the earliest open system/Unix standards from around 1983, so have been a well understood architecture outside mainframes as well.

That it's beneficial to use Postgres messaging (or Oracle AQ or whatever) for its transactional semantics is kind of accidental and a consequence of folks not wanting to bother with dtx. Even though databases are accessed via networks, truly scalable work distribution can't be achieved using SQL, much less with SQLite. Or in other words, if you're using messaging queues in databases, you could use tables and row locks directly just as well.
Agreed.

Also it could benefit from a modicum of CSS.
It's a federal sentence so she will be doing most of the time assigned. Each year of good behavior gets up to 47* days taken off the prisoner's sentence. IIRC, these are awarded at the end of each year in prison, so you can't just calculate 11*47 to get the reduction as if she behaves, she'll only be in nine and a partial year. She'll miss out on those last two years of sentence reductions.

* The law says 54 but in practice it's 47.

My mother would tell you otherwise. My worlds were all in that big bag of bricks. You could collaboratively build machines and landscapes, then tell stories within that transient place. And once you got into "Technics" sets, the mechanical components were actually quite sophisticated. I've put in thousands of hours into those little plastic bricks.

Worse than being common, I heard US wage theft eclipses all other theft in the US combined.
It would've been a joke if it wasn't indistinguishable from a typical anti-Tesla/anti-Musk comment on-line. Hence the confusion.
> The twist is that this game isn't only for 1 round. Once you take your company into this game, you're stuck in it — you'll have to keep fundraising to keep fueling the growth that you've kickstarted using external capital.

You can’t physically construct a speaker that makes a sawtooth wave. Its cone would need to change velocities from -n to +n or vice-versa instantaneously in order to generate the ‘teeth’ of your wave. The air particles you are moving would likewise need to instantly accelerate. That is a physical impossibility - these things have mass, accelerating them requires force, infinite acceleration requires infinite force.

Those physical constraints manifest as limits on the frequency of sinusoidal harmonics it is possible for you to put into the wave; for the medium to carry; and for you to physically detect at the other end.

Mathematicians don’t break functions down into sinusoidal harmonics because they like trig functions. They do it because they fundamentally are what’s happening.
Tweets with hashtags and links do worse.

It would seem anti-woke tweets do very well. I see such tweets a lot when logged out.

Replying to an account with an unverified account is automatically collapsed. Only twitter blue accounts get to post replies in comments and not have those comments be collapsed. They can also post replies to their own tweets without the replies being collapsed.
Yea have been running since it came out.

What's important is that you follow the releases. Read the logs after you update. Something the configuration format changes.

A 2000 pound theoretical car is 60x more weight than a bike that can also carry you. Looking strictly at numbers, a car doesn't make sense to transport a person in most cases. I'm not advocating for less cars, just that looking at it as a weight to payload issue doesn't make sense to begin with.

> crashes will full conviction that it will work

That 'full conviction' part is the kicker. I don't mind if an AI says "gee, this might work", or "maybe this?" But the confident idiocy is going to kill someone. I asked one what the best breed of dog was for a family with a child who had allergy problems and was sensitive to dander. It said a golden retriever was best, since they are hypoallergenic and don't ever shed, plus they're friendly and eager to please.

I don't know where to start with this if you think that one, year-old video is somehow proof that Tesla FSD is ready for use--and, say, the recall earlier this year isn't indication that maybe it's not.
The law requires you have both types of good reason. Either alone will detect less than half of all house fires.

Dual sensors are not and gated. While nobody will admit what algorithm they use, they detect most fires unlike the single sensor type.

How do you make an objective statement about how well GPT-4 does logical reasoning?

Running benchmarks seems like a reasonable way to do it. The objective statements are the benchmark results. They are there. That's the main result of the paper.

You say it has no understanding. So people can communicate idea's/concepts while chatgpt can't.

What if... what we think are idea's or concepts, are in fact prompts recited from memory, which were planted/trained during our growing up? In fact I'm pretty sure our consciousness stems from or is memory feeding a (bigger and more advanced) stochastic correlation machine.

That chatgpt can only do this with words, does not mean the same technique cannot be used for other data, such as neural sensors or actuators.

Chatgpt could be trained with alien datasets and act accordingly. Humans can be trained with alien datasets.

See the convergence?
I'm not suggesting that you can use meta-learning to discover gradient descent, that would not be surprising. My claim is that GPT-4 (probably even GPT-2) is almost certainly already using gradient descent internally inside it's own activations.

How else can it learn a random small neural network given enough samples in the prompt?

> If, on the other hand, posts are ranked based on user popularity and engagement and that rank affects its position in subscriber feeds, then it's a virtuous cycle where more people will be directed to interesting posts, and those posters will be incentivised to post more.

... or it's a vicious cycle when someone understand which kind of cheaply generated content games the recommandation system the best. If history has told us anything, it's that radical, divisive, tribal, infuriating, titilating, voyeuristic, trivial, scammy, stupid short form tends to works very well.
I agree generally with what you're saying. I was arguing against people who seem to have concluded LLMs can't do any reasoning because they're "just generating text based on probabilities". I've seen people express that point of view quite a few times and it seems to be based on a superficial and incorrect understanding of how LLMs work.

And although I think one could demonstrate fairly easily that ChatGPT is capable of some level of deductive reasoning, my last post wasn't even arguing about any actual capabilities of current LLMs. I was just saying you can't conclude that LLMs can't reason (even in theory) because they're "just generating text based on probabilities".

That said, it's not clear to me what the limits are on LLMs as they scale up. GPT-4 can usually add very large numbers together (I've tested it with 20 digit numbers) without any chain-of-thought, something older models struggled with. I think addition works well because you almost don't need internal working memory to do it. You can _usually_ compute a digit of the answer just by looking at 2-3 digits of each of the summands. Occasionally this isn't true: if you have a long sequence of columns that each sum to 9, then a carry from many digits away can affect the current digit. But that's rare.

Multiplication of large number, by contrast, does require working memory and an iterative algorithm. It makes a lot of sense that chain-of-thought helps with this. The text the LLM writes functions as working memory, and it iteratively generates the response, token by token.

Still, just scaling up the models has also helped a lot with multiplication (even without using chain-of-thought). Presumably larger models can have a larger part of the network devoted to arithmetic. It still doesn't compare to a calculator, and integrating LLMs with other tools or AI models sounds promising. But so far, the results of just scaling LLMs and training data has been surprisingly impressive.
I think Twitter's popularity and endurance suggests that there is interest in that global groupchat.

What's unclear to me is whether or not there is enough money in it to make it worth maintaining/moderating.
I guess you've been lucky. Most doctors are crap, in my experience. I've actually had a doctor "diagnose" me by typing my symptoms into webmd and telling me I have IBS (which is basically a non-diagnosis). I've heard countless stories of misdiagnoses from friends, or herculean efforts to diagnose rare conditions. The western medical industry is great at handling common, obvious problems, and pretty much terrible at everything else. Especially stuff related to sleep and digestive tract issues.

Not sure that’s true. Seems like this is about Google blackmailing them with App Store exposure if and only if they play ball.

Most of the time I have my laptop plugged in and sit at a desk...

But anyway, there are two trends:

- processors do more with less power

- LLMs get larger, but also smaller and more efficient (via quantizing, pruning)

Good usability is beautiful. Valuing aesthetics over functionality is ugly.
It's an interesting case.

So far the superstars of Substack (say Matt Taibbi) were superstars before Substack and promote Substack as opposed to the other way around.

Substack competes with traditional journalism, which delivers more journalism per dollar than the typical Substack but is based around the strength of the brand of The Guardian or The Economist as opposed to that of the individual journalist. From the viewpoint of the journalist the newspaper is an aggregator that is doing their marketing work for them.

Substack also competes with Medium which plausibly claims to be doing promotional work for its authors, but despite claiming to be a place which is a little bit better than the rest of the web it's actually a place that is a little worse than the rest of the web and isn't making significant amounts of money for anyone.

It's all incoherent nonsense to me.

"Using enormous compute to process enormous amounts of data to produce an enormous (but compressed representation of a) function, should be illegal. We should instead fail at designing and hand coding these functions so we understand them but never actualize them."

I mean the argument boils down to "inference is bad because I hate the structure we find in all our data, instead lets impose fake ideas and never succeed"

I've heard the explanation that men just tend to prefer to think in more concrete terms. "What happened" is sometimes met with a detailed social analysis filled with motivations and states-of-mind about the story that unfolded and sometimes met with some cold facts about precisely what events occurred without any speculation as to why or what impact it had on people, and this tends to split along gender lines. The classic "what are you thinking about" works the same way. Women tend to be thinking about conceptual things like their ambitions or happiness or relationships, whereas men tend to be thinking about concrete things like that one cabinet with the loose hinges in the bathroom.

This is, of course, not a universal rule. It's just an observation about tendencies.
People tend to take care of things that are both well put together and beautiful.
> .NET Core ( dotnet at the CLI ) has replaced .NET Framework and ( by implication ) has replaced Mono as well. That is what I think the post above is trying to say.

dotnet build (from the modern .NET CLI) can compile .NET SDK projects that target legacy Framework versions. A csproj with a .NET.Sdk reference can use a TargetFramework of net48 or lower.

dotnet build times are an order of magnitude faster than Mono’s msbuild command, and migrated projects also receive the recent dotnet toolchain improvements (like automatic nuget restore, among many others).

Unity projects sometimes use dotnet's csc, even when the compiled libraries are executed with the Mono .NET (Framework!) 4.x runtime.
> All social media algo timelines have an editorial voice.

Sorry, that's a bullshit excuse. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was hardcoded to be downranked like DMCA violations and high toxicity content.

This has zero do to with "editorial voice" or other bullshit excuse. This was a blatant attempt to smuther any reference on what Russia is doing to Ukraine.
This comment is hopelessly obtuse. Most Americans can't even afford a $1000 emergency expense; the $2400 expense you cite is already unaffordable. Add in any ER fees the hospital charges -- which can easily be part of what GP refers to -- and you'll probably get to that $10K figure anyway.

Don't believe me? Here's what happened right here in SF when a bicyclist with a broken arm was taken to the local public hospital, SF General:

"A few months later, Dang got a bill for $24,074.50. Premera Blue Cross, her health insurer, would only cover $3,830.79 of that — an amount that it thought was fair for the services provided. That left Dang with $20,243.71 to pay, which the hospital threatened to send to collections in mid-December."

> came up with a number 400% higher.

A moment with a calculator would show you that the number GP uses is 300% higher, not 400% :)
