The other thing is, it's trained on a lot of HTML, which includes data: URLs that decode to JS and SVG (on which it is also trained). So that one transformation is probably the one that is really baked well into the weights now.

BTW it doesn't just decode it, it also encodes it quite happily - in real time, as it is producing the output, sometimes unprompted. I once had GPT-4, when asked to produce SVG, produce it in form of an <img src="data:data:image/svg+xml;base64,..."> - and when I copy-pasted and rendered it, it was a valid SVG file with shapes inside.
Even easier, just hit the By Suit button at the top and all the kings will be sorted along the right side.
as an embedded developer, CSR+SPA is the default way to do it these days, my embedded board(with limited resources that can not run python/django/etc) only needs to provide some json data but htmx expects backend spits out html.

Not sure if it's possible for htmx to work with haserl or some c-based cgi or even lua-based lightweight web framework, I guess it could, just not popular so nobody did it.
How do you realistically compare a fountain pen, and never mention or compare the ink? That makes an enormous difference - as much as the body and nib itself. Some inks feel very wet and runny while others feel kinda like paste.
I think it's a feature, works really nicely on a phone - if you tap, flick the card and quickly release, it lands face up as if you're throwing the card on the table as you deal. Whereas if you drag it more slowly into place, it will remain face down as if you are sliding it on the table. Feels pretty natural on touchscreen.
A triangle wave at 1Hz would have many higher frequency components. If you know a priori that the highest frequency of the signal is 1Hz, sampling at 2Hz is enough to infer 0, 1, 0, -1, ... came from a sine wave.
You seem to be conflating solipsism with epistemology. At the end of the day, regardless of whether you're dealing with a child, a bot, or a peer, you would never use the question "describe how to play chess" as a measure of understanding if the chosen entity understands how to play chess; you would just play chess with them. Such an inquiry would only probe if one understands how to explain how to play chess, which is not the same. One should expect an LLM model of being able to regurgitate a description of playing chess. One could even expect an LLM to regurgitate common strategies in chess, enough to fool some into thinking it understands what is happening amidst a posed match. Where it all falls apart is where the rubber meets the pavement. Get an LLM to teach your child chess, with no intervention. You'll learn rather quickly which one is capable of understanding, and which one isn't.

I strongly recommend Parker pens, they're not as good for spinning/flipping as Pilot G2s, but they last longer and are higher quality overall
I might be an outlier, but I'm extremely attached to the Half-Life series and while it's difficult to not get HL3, I'm also not currently disappointed in any game in the series. If the only thing I have to be disappointed in is the release cadence, then I'm probably okay with that?

Someone in a Reddit thread pointed how Valve's structure reduces the fragility of a product by not basing it on one vision and that their games are based on a pretty pure collaborative effort. A writer becomes inherently less influential on the final product, but their individual contribution is more passionate and worked. One could argue for hours about the approach, but I think the results speak for themselves.
And honestly some of the expensive pens don't write that well. I was given a Waterman pen and its ink cartridge was crap until I replaced it with a compatible cartridge from a cheap gel pen. And it still pretty much sits in a pen holder on my desk because the gel pens I like are lighter and cheap.

I mostly go with the Uniball Signos at this point. Though based on the article I should probably investigate more of the variants.
I would literally take a job at Valve and dedicate 80 hours a week building a coalition of the willing for Portal 3.

Hell, Portal should have its own freakin' franchise, let Erik Wolpaw be the Keving Feige of Portalco, serve pink frosted cake for lunch every day.

Ask it about actual concepts of specific domains, not merely idioms. If anything, these are idiom engines.

In the middle of the road, it outputs very sensible, grammatical, and mostly accurate text. It looks impressive, and can be genuinely helpful.

As the same questions get into more obscure stuff, it starts making errors, then on anything near advanced cases, it hallucinates/confabulates/lies.

Even with simple math, you get this:

Q: what is 17 plus 34?
A: 17 plus 34 equals 51. (correct)
Q: what is 297438 plus 927465?
A: 297438 plus 927465 equals 1224903. (correct)
Q: what is 38460 times 2398756?
A: 38460 times 2398756 equals 9218928960. (wrong, correct is 92256155760)

It is merely outputting a very grammatical word salad that has the same relationship to the actual concepts as a broken clock to the time (right twice a day; this is just better with insanely more parameters).

In the areas where it has ingested massive amounts and has billions of relevant vectors, it'll output good stuff. But in the edges, where the input is more scarce, it'll just guess, and that is were you see that there is no abstraction there.

I've observed it doing the same thing with legal and scientific topics that I have or know experts. When there is a great body of text that it has ingested, the predictions and grammar engine and idiom are amazing, sometimes astonishing, and often useful.

But the kinds of errors show that it has no shred of a concept. It if did, it would not have the kind of problems with facts. We would not get entirely hallucinated/confabulated references to entire papers, authors, APIs. etc., including math answers. We'd get something like "I should have that knowledge, but it is out of scope".

Your example is very cool, but pretty much the same as translating from English to French, it's just car idiom to curling idiom. When the LLM translates "Car" to "voiture", it is not abstracting the concept of a car, it is making a prediction. When we translate as novices in a second language, we have to hunt around for the vocabulary equivalent, and when we speak a second language, we aren't translating, but speaking from our own concepts. LLMs are not human, and they learn and produce nothing like humans, but humans have an extremely powerful tendency to anthropomorphize and infer qualities that are not there.

Also, from an entirely different angle, in every paper on LLM technology I've read or skimmed, I've seen zero reference to any technology that would abstract and wield concepts.

So, I find it extremely unlikely that these models even come close to anything resembling use of abstractions.

I wish more businesses would treat beauty as a function of a product just like all other “actual” functions of it, a valid part of the whole package. I know it won’t probably happen anytime soon, because “ROI when???”, just been thinking about it a lot after reading Beauty by Sagmeister and Walsh.
>“Feel a bit cheated,” Reddit user “legalbeagle1966” said after a Washington Post reporter told him Claudia was likely a fraud. A week earlier, he’d commented on her photo that she looked “pretty sexy and perfect.”

The above is a quote from the article from another commenter. I'll say it again, people ultimately want the real thing. If they can tell the difference is another story.

Edit: Truth be told about porn, most people want to see hot real women fucked hard. Like, I can juggle in the Metaverse? Who cares? I can beat the triple jump record on video with AI? Cool... Also, I'd wager the section of the market that is interested in this content isn't the majority. See my first sentence about the edit.

The largest advantage currently (in my opinion) is with respect to cold starts. Lambda has gotten significantly better over the years, but cold starts are still a concern, largely because it’s difficult to anticipate the level of needed provisioned concurrency needed to mitigate it. Not having to think about that at all would be a large advantage (I’m ignoring Lambda SnapStart since it’s strictly limited to Java at this time).

It’s also the case that there’s just so much historical baggage within Node, mainly with regard to CJS. Developing against Deno at least presents the opportunity for us to move past that and improve DX.

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

I have no idea if this is true. However... I have a coworker that was just banned from Reddit, her daughter is a high school swimmer, and there is a trans issue going on. I saw the comment she was banned for, while I don't necessarily agree with all of her points, it was absolutely not ban-worthy. She is waiting on an appeal that won't come. I've now seen with my own eyes that moderators and at least some admins at Reddit are shutting down anything that takes "the wrong position" on trans topics as "hate", when it's definitely not. Let's say over-woke to promote a consensus.

So, my question to you is this... How could we tell if anti-woke tweets do well on Twitter, or if they are overly censored and penalized on other sites?

How can you be sure it's not your reference and the systems you are comparing to are fair or not?

The article seems to be making the case that if you want to foster support for a movement, having somebody in a leadership role who alienates a plurality of your potential pool of members is a bad idea.

XP as I remember it was about implementing one customer-relevant feature at a time. This isn’t too-down or bottom-up, it’s doing a thin vertical slice. There shouldn’t be code that isn’t used or buttons that don’t work.

> The rest would probably pursue deadly force even if they didn't have access to firearms.

And I was specifically addressing that point and only that point.
I think this is great, but a growing question in my mind from these is what is the long tail plan for maintenance of this constellation of stuff? Especially because you guys are building on technologies that you can’t really just casually find developers for eg Elixir and Haskell. I keep seeing missing critical features in Realtime and Postgrest, and I know these are armies of 1-2, but it does kind of worry me when I think about investing time and effort into the Supabase ecosystem as a whole seeing more and more launches while there isn’t much action on existing issues.

Example: https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/915#issue-comm...
I think Erik Wolpaw is being kind with his words and Gabe Newell isn't pushing the organization to deliver games because he doesn't see much value in working on single-player games anymore. It also just doesn't do anything to their bottom line whatsoever.

This goes for Half-Life, Portal, and really anything else that isn't a potentially large multi-player IP that could seemingly become its own platform, like Counter-Strike or Dota.

There's of course also the problem that you have to rally people to you to work on something, and people suck, frankly. Just because those people work at Valve doesn't mean they suck less in terms of human nature. It just means they also have technical chops.

From everything you can read about Valve in the media to what you can observe from their own releases, they seem to be a victim of their own success and being an individual contributor at Valve seems like you have organization-level and individual-level issues keeping you from being productive. Primarily around compensation.

There will never be a conclusion to the Half-Life series outside of what Marc Laidlaw gave fans. I doubt Erik Wolpaw will make a dent, not because I don't want him to, but because there are probably egos at Valve and pay incentives preventing him and others from delivering sequels that fans want.

How long is it since any vendor cared about usability and features? HCI is dead. The only thing that matters now is UX: optimising the software to maximise sales. And you're right. Beauty sells. But this is not an insight. It's been standard practice for years. And as an end user it sucks.
There's plenty of other counterexamples of that though – visionaries with a singular vision being able to get a team to help them create something amazing. Not saying one is better than the other, but it'd be a damn shame if amazing stories like Portal don't get more airtime because of collective lethargy. It's too good to let flounder!

A decade is very reasonable for intentionally, knowingly committing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fraud and attempting to sustain it across many years of time.

She's little more than a highly skilled, pathological con-artist that worked over a very affluent system (Silicon Valley primarily).

It's not odd how vilified she has become. She appears to be severely deranged, has shown zero remorse for the crimes she committed, and has tried every trick in the bag to try to get out of taking responsibility legally for what she did.

> She faked it until she (didn't) make it--a strategy praised in other startup narratives.

That is not what she did. Holmes committed outright financial fraud by lying to - intentionally misleading - the investors and employees in just about the most epic way you could. She attempted to cover it up repeatedly, keeping the extent of their failures even from the board members whenever possible.

And last but not least, it's the highly regulated healthcare field (everyone here grasps the difference), not a little text search engine (eg Excite was a famous example of faking it until you make it during the dotcom bubble, they bid on a Netscape search deal, for promotion of their service, before they had the money to pay for it, on the basis that they could raise the money if they had the deal; however it's not usually a crime to commit to buy something before you have the money to do so).

I agree, but would expand that to all parts of the design dealing with variable data, not just text (think thumbnails, avatars, etc). It’s too common for designs to that were beautiful on the canvas to fall apart once brought to life in the actual product.

Some designers also don’t have a good grip on what’s actually feasible to engineer, adding in various details that in aggregate can bloat the time and effort required to build the design multiple times over.

Printer paper does work great. It's designed to be disposable, though, so the lightest weight will buckle under heavy ink, and it also yellows and fades more easily than "archival" papers designed for art.

What sort of jobs?

As someone without a degree who ended up as a software engineer at CSIRO, my advice is to just start working. Do interesting stuff. Push yourself. Make a name in the community.

I didn't start out by saying "I'm going to become a software engineer at CSIRO", I'm Canadian, so didn't even know what CSIRO was.

I think one of the strange things about people who think they need to get a degree to get a job, is that they often are trying to get the job they might get after having a degree, but without the degree.

You have to start somewhere, but my thinking is that if you were to take the lowliest job, and just start, you'd be far ahead of those who went and got a degree by the time you spent 4 years in the industry.

Just my 2 cents.

Of course, it depends on what you are trying to do. We're currently hiring for a neuroscientist, and of course, that needs a university degree.
> Like a third-world country: in America, you're better off being either totally penniless or a billionaire. If you don't have a balance sheet of $5 megabucks, your life will be miserable.

I live in a "third-world" country. My family and I have insurance and only use private hospitals -- the capitalist portion of the system. Never had as bad an incident as the ones you guys are reporting here. Just some minor annoyances.

Not even the crappiest insurance companies do stuff like that, and they get terminated by the regulatory body if they start to mess up consistently.

Although I don't use it directly, I'm overall well-informed about the realities of the public health system. It's bad, but not even close to what I've seen posted here. One can even obtain overly expensive meds for rare diseases -- it requires some legal effort, but it eventually works.

Then I'd say that, when it comes to health systems, the USA is definitely way worse than some third-world countries -- and one of the main reasons I declined an invitation to work and live in there.

thats why you use quality knives that need sharpening less often. You still sharpen them because that makes the work take less time and effort. They're not fancy they're just high end. They're not damascus steel because that doesn't offer any actual advantages. Thats why you can get a shitty henkels knife for $50 anywhere you look, but the actual zwilling pro chef's knife is 3x the price - because you don't need to sharpen it as often - it keeps the edge for longer.

It's not a question of fancy. Regular looking pans and pots made from ultra thick gauge stainless steel dont look fancy, but they survive being dropped on the ground without issue.

You have a big miscomprehension if you think expensive = fancy. Not fancy, rather ultra utilitarian but high quality.
True, but you can get it to detail a plan which can then be programmed in to action. The big issue is that it has 0 cognition it can't figure out what it's doing. Every step of any plan it creates is a high probability guess. LLM's won't replace humans any time soon but it will reduce the number needed for any one project.
