I haven't tried with FF personally, but the issue I have is that the traces are huge and reverse execution through memory-intensive codepaths takes a very long time, making the experience really slow. Or you can run a release build (with optimizations), in which case everything gets inlined, your asserts get nuked, and you're unable to inspect state well enough to figure out what's going on. In most cases, an ordinary debugger provides a better UX for me, but for the odd memory bug untraceable by normal hardware breakpoints in a traditional forward debugger, it comes in handy.
Yeah, right up to the point where they trademark "rs" since it's also widely associated with rust.

Sieve (YC W22) Is Hiring a Distributed Systems Engineer
Unfortunately the heroic age of engineering (Brunel, Bazalgette) is behind us. As it grew in complexity, engineering by necessity became corporatized and de-individualised. It was no longer the place for dashing adventurers and gentlemen intellectuals. Instead it has become associated with 'technicianship', the rather boring (but essential) trade of knowing which button to push to make things start working again.

Furthermore, it is one of the last professions to resist gender re-balancing, so social events etc are going to be somewhat barren.

While you are correct that these sort of books can be taken too far (i.e. they are not an answer to everything) there is much value in studying these sorts of books (Chinese/Japanese/Indian etc.) since they are a repository of various stratagems/techniques/aphorisms/quotes which can be adapted to context (not necessarily explicit Warfare) to derive value. Human Nature has not changed much over the years though its external manifestations have. I also do not believe that you have to have served in the defense forces (which mainly focus on the mechanisms of Warfare) to understand them since they deal with general ideas/concepts/stratagems which are independent of a specific domain.

As an example, the quote Cast a Brick to Attract Jade from The 36 stratagems of War (https://changingminds.org/disciplines/warfare/36_strategems/...) is eminently usable in design/development/product plan meetings i.e. you present a simple and concrete idea as a starting point and then leave it to the attendees to build/modify/change it and come up with a best and final solution.

AI porn is essentially a perfect technology: there's no performers, so there's no consent or abuse questions, and it can perfectly calibrate to user desire so there's less of a need to search for what you want.

There's even an introspective component: rather then trying to find someone you can convince to do what you want (manipulate) the goal is replaced with a creative one - finding a way to improve the models to generate what you want, and reflecting the motivation back at the consumer.

I dunno if you've tried both SerenityOS and Redox - I have, and SerenityOS is just more complete and usable as a daily driver than Redox[1].

Redox developed over 7 years has less functionality than SerenityOS developed over 4 years.

[1] They both have a long way to go before being completely usable as a daily driver, but Redox has a longer way to go than SerenityOS.

Prompt engineering in this way is a GPT3/4 phenomenon. The more capable the model the less tricks you need.

I call that prompt engineering will evolve in memory management mostly. Yes you will need to provide some proper context etc but the main trick would be to prompt the model to access its memory in a way that is efficient and effective for the task at hand.

If you think you’d want to sacrifice 11 of your prime years to prison in exchange for living in a mansion, you probably haven’t comprehended the realities of going to prison.

Losing over a decade of your life is devastating.

The post is written by a person who gets paid (or at least used to get paid) to write marketing copy. The author is by definition a professional writer of marketing copy. Of course it sounds like professionally written text designed to impact the opinion of the reader - it is professionally written text designed to impact the opinion of the reader. That doesn't make it a lie. The form of the message is exactly what you would expect a truthful message from such an individual to look like.

Given all that is happening with the capabilities and adoption of GPT, and comparing the low economic value of karma and likes to the high likelihood of individuals like the one described being impacted in this way, my personal view is it's far more likely to be truthful than some grand conspiracy of falsehoods.
Funnily enough, I was reading Minsky's book recently. I second the recommendation. I think he's missing many technical details*, but the basic approach seems to be correct.

*(For example, the idea of a "hierarchy of feedback loops" from perceptual control theory would explain a lot of the interactions between agents in his theory.)

I also put the abstract of the paper into GPT-4, and gave it the following prompt:

> Simplify the above. Use paragraph headings and bold key words.

I quite liked its output, as it made it easier to see the core ideas in the paper:

ABSTRACT

Generative Agents: This paper introduces generative agents, computational software agents that simulate believable human behavior. They can be used in various interactive applications like immersive environments, communication rehearsal spaces, and prototyping tools.

Architecture: The generative agent architecture extends a large language model to store a complete record of the agent's experiences in natural language. It enables the agents to synthesize memories, reflect on them, and retrieve them dynamically to plan behavior.

Interactive Sandbox Environment: The generative agents are instantiated in a sandbox environment inspired by The Sims, where users can interact with a small town of twenty-five agents using natural language.

Believable Behavior: The generative agents produce believable individual and emergent social behaviors, such as autonomously spreading party invitations and coordinating events.

Components: The agent architecture consists of three main components: observation, planning, and reflection. Each contributes critically to the believability of agent behavior.

KEYWORDS: Human-AI Interaction, agents, generative AI, large language models
The author screeches about “virtue signaling” all over this article. I hear that a lot from right-wing folks.

One wonders: do people like this author ever stop to consider that maybe those who they think are just “virtue signaling” actually believe what they’re saying and/or doing? That maybe it’s genuine?

This constant retreat to “I can’t stand the virtue-signaling left!” really starts to sound an awful lot like projection, at a point.

(Do read the article; it’s a fantastic look into the mind of someone who feels that the current solutions aren’t working but actually hasn’t put a ton of critical thought into what needs to be done differently - or, at least, is unwilling to say most of their conclusions aloud.)
Given how insanely fast both processors and internet speeds are nowadays, what’s the point?

Wind turbine blades need to be as lightweight as possible. Imagine the shear and tear forces applied on the turbine’s tower. At the same time, the blades have to be extremely resistant to resist to their own weight and to the wind applying forces perpendicular to the main axis.

Want to see how the “grep” command works? Just go to /usr/src/usr.bin/grep and read the source. Modify and reinstall it if you like. On Ubuntu this would be a huge chore of figuring out what package the command comes from, wrestling with apt-get source and dpkg-buildpackage, tweaking your apt settings to not immediately replace your custom-built one with the upstream version, etc.

>Console emulators (especially of the HLE variety) seem to have a similar flow.

And emulators that have gone this path have all regretted it, because they end up making hacks to make <popular game> work, because everyone simply wants to play <popular game>. Dolphin is still paying the price of that method years down the line. Project64 took years to unfuck themselves up, ZSNES is forgotten and overtaken by many more that have done the proper thing.

Those problems need solutions regardless of ChatGPT. If new technological unemployment will push powers that be to fix them… well, that would confirm an adage that every cloud has a silver lining.
It’s also the only credible answer to the Fermi paradox. Any civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel is advanced enough to generate all of their desires at home.

Because living and ethical life is a worthy goal in and of itself, and likely a much better one (as in : in a purely utilitarian framework, simply more rewarding) than to shoot for piling up as much money as possible?

OP, you've gotten so overcome by the fumes from your own butthole that you've lost touch with reality. Come up for air already.

Seriously: people thought a couple screens of ancient LISP was "thinking" when ELIZA was published. They were just as intensely wrong as your post is.

OTOH, maybe this is an end-run around the Turing test - produce humans whose reactions are so predictable that it's easy for an LLM to reproduce one. (see also cryptobros, early innovators in the space)

That’s like a century in AI-dog years. Who knows how the world will be by then.
This was a missed opportunity to build in rust. Servo was the previous engine that got abandoned midway. They should have continued that.

That's a way to avoid legal issues.

Basically, embedding the raw Reddit/Instagram/Twitter/whatever post risks that the poster deletes the post, and your article lacks context now. To avoid this, you can screenshot the post - but that can risk violating anti-doxxing laws, particularly if the poster decides to delete the post and the poster is not a media-relevant person. So, making a screenshot with the username and profile picture redacted, while leaving a link to the original post is the safest way.

What is interesting is that a lot of these models have impressive papers and specs, but when they are released to actual users, they are underwhelming compared to ChatGPT.

Rather than another closed model, I would love for a non-profit/company to push models that can be run on consumer hardware.

The Facebook Llama models are interesting not because they are better than ChatGPT, but that I can run them on my own computer.
> Most people (ie poor people) would probably happily serve a 10-year jail term if, after that, they had a few million dollars in the bank.

I don’t think this is true at all.

10 years of your life is a huge sacrifice, especially in your prime years.

Even among criminals it’s common to abandon everything if it means a chance at avoiding prison. People would rather live on the run and start their lives over under a new identity than go to prison.

I don’t understand these commands suggesting that a decade of prison is a good trade for a few million. Coming out in your 40s or 50s having missed out on your kids’ childhood, lost your social connections, and having no career or experience to point to is devastating. It’s weird to see people look at this and think it’s some sort of good deal.
First of all Prolog is usually not AOT compiled rather JITed, secondly regarding Haskell, it is an issue with the skill set of the developer more than anything.
>For example we often see people thinking that because an LLM can explain how to do something that therefore it knows how to do it, like arithmetic. That's because if a human can explain how to do something, we know that they can. Yet for an LLM outputting a token sequence for an explanation of something, and outputting a token sequence for solving a problem statement for that problem domain are fundamentally different tasks.

Please explain to me the process currently happening in your visual cortex as you read this text.

The fact that neuroscience exists as a field (with so many remaining questions) shows that humans also do not understand how we can do all the things we do.

When I started learning photography a few years ago, I was highly impressed by landscape photography: seeing beautiful images of seas and mountains.

Eventually I realised as someone livin' in a city, those are not parts of my city. Well, there's a beach in Jakarta but the view isn't particularly exciting. And of course it takes some time to reach the place, due to traffic jams.

And lockdown/social distancing in 2020 changed my perception about photography. From landscape/street photography to something I can photograph within 20 meters. For me, that means capturing abstract patterns like stones, leaves, peeling paint on the wall, etc. There's always something interesting as long as you are willing to "see"
