> Have you taken an oral exam?

I have, yes. My university experience ran the gamut, in that I had both classes in a massive lecture hall of hundreds of students where most never spoke a word to the professor and all exams were done via scantron, as well as small graduate courses of around 4 students where the entire class was oral exams and one-on-one demonstrations and group discussions. The smallest course was only available at all because of a particularly passionate professor who insisted on holding it, and the class was never available during semesters where he wasn't available, because nobody else was willing to put in the work to personally administer the class. Notably, all those courses cost about the same amount of money per credit hour from my perspective, so the university was making orders of magnitude more money on the large class (where I can't see oral exams being feasible without significant investment) than they were making off the small class.

> You can delegate to grad students, but the same can be said of oral exams

It's much harder to delegate an oral exam than a written one. As you've mentioned, oral exams combine administration with grading, which means the grad students who are delegated to need to be able to administer the exam (ie, effectively probe the knowledge of each examinee) as well as evaluate their responses. In a written exam, the grad student only needs to evaluate the responses, usually against a set of predetermined criteria since the structure of the questions is set in stone.

None of what universities are moving towards is better, but I fail to see how it isn't cheaper.
I don't think copyright has much to do with it, but rather the lack of (cheap) recording/duplicating equipment people had access to before the 80's. As soon as VCRs were on the scene, your average American quickly got to recording broadcast content to VHS tapes for either sharing it with friends or personal archival.
Without archive.org we could say the very same about the Internet.

Although there is not much of an archive of before 1996/1995 (it's lost)
I agree that "no one is paying for oil in dollars anymore" is an overblown statement. However, the de-dollarization process was started in 2014 and will keep getting stronger. This matches the recent leaks (as well as the video confirmation by François Hollande - the former President of France), that the 2014 coup in Ukraine was staged and sponsored by the US. As a Ukrainian, I tend to believe that a good portion of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is driven by the de-dollarization fears of the US. The global superpower country is basically losing its main leverage, which is, in my personal opinion, a huge deal.

While the mainstream media keeps it all super positive, I think the US did a lot of miscalculations within the past several years. And honestly, something tells me that Putin will outplay them all. The guy is extremely smart and it's foolish to downplay him and say he is not. We shall see.
which surely helps keep these companies more compliant than they otherwise would be.

I really feel like these don't. This is what, a fraction of a fraction of their revenue? And it took how many years for it to get to this point? Let me know when governments have stopped being chickenshit and start threatening with substantial revenue amounts, and better yet, jail time for execs.
Let me add one big reason to the list: lots of TV broadcasting equipment is Linux-based.

And on Linux, Resolve is like the only good option. Final Cut and Premiere simply don't work there.

> What features were added in C++ 98?
< C++98 (also known as C++11) was a major development milestone for C++
< new gcc 5.1 standard, which was the first version of the standard to include support for AES encryption
< return types and various other changes

> Write a C++ constexpr function that implements powf
< Sure! Here is an implementation of a C++11 constexpr function for the function pow, using C++11 recursion and variadic templates:
< void pow (int n) { std::cout << "Powerset of " << n << " is " << pow (n, n) << std::endl; }
< This implementation of the pow function should be possible for any constant integer power of 2 without exception.
Yes, I wonder if there needs to be a level of recursion to solve for this problem:

1. User enters question
2. Semantic search for relevant sections of input material
3. Prompt LLM if it needs any further context to answer the question
4. GOTO 2
5. Finish
That's a fair comment and I guess we are missing and "AND" there.

1. We (and others) have tested our tools' impact on memory, CPU, network performance and found only negligible impact, even on slower/older devices

2. Also, they are used by F500 companies and have wide adoption, which indicates that other well established devs have run the same tests and decided to move forward.

We'll work on the language there to clarify.
There's a difference between "the market has adjusted" and "society is better now". The market adjusted by increasing inequality, reducing wages, and shrinking the middle class (especially in specific regions).

The fact that the market adjusts isn't a good metric to use for the healthiness of a society.

Granted I haven't tried to get it through review, but for things where the fast version is complicated I usually end up with

static bool set_t_contains_fast(set_t x, uint64_t e);
static bool set_t_contains_simple(set_t x, uint64_t e);
bool set_t_contains(set_t x, uint64_t e)
{
bool f = set_t_contains_fast(x, e);
assert(set_t_contains_simple(x, e) == f);
return f;
}

sometimes with a CONTRACTS macro controlling it instead of an assert.

> This seems like a wild misrepresentation of what being a writer is. Writers communicate ideas. Their ideas.

That's an idealization. Most writers are communicating the client's ideas, or trying to come up with ideas that they think the client would like. Most writers are trying to appeal to a particular audience for money, and new ideas mostly annoy their target market, who want a new thing pretty much like the last thing.

Aside from that; the thing that differentiates writers is their skill in writing words. A hell of a lot more people have "ideas" than have writing skill. There's absolutely no reason to think writers have better ones; I'd even predict that they would have worse ones because they spent so much time studying how to write, so other people have more time for varied and exotic experiences and learning.

Writers are usually writing about other people; people unlike themselves. What happens when those people can write about themselves rather than being interpreted?
We are in the selling shovels to the paranoid neurotic upper/middle class that is dependent on tech for their livelihood phase. A new form of the hustle culture.

I don't understand your questions. The people releasing the benchmarks want to include a string that tells the scrapers not to include it in LLM training data. They want to have an easy way of filtering it out even if it gets uploaded to github/arxiv/reddit/etc. a million times. The scrapers will want to respect the tag because otherwise they won't be able to use this benchmark to evaluate the model.

It has nothing to do with robots.txt, which training data scrapers have no reason to respect.

But then, why not just use an ESP32 which can replace the Pi entirely in the proposed setup. ;-)

I would have an ESP32 impersonate the MAC address of the server passively (ie. only in the Wi-Fi association), then “push the wake button” if it found traffic that is allowed to wake the server. A wake-up firewall, if you will.
I know YouTube will throw a video to an extremely slow archival hard disk where getting 720p requires waiting a few minutes for YT to (presumably) move it to some regular storage tier with reasonable write speeds. But I've never heard of there being rot on the actual data YT stores, and I imagine it's on the same policy as Drive files where they're globally redundant, or at least in two different DCs.

I mean this is way too easy of a question for anyone who's used GPT, I asked it without mentioning that anything about dead parents and it solved it.

I also tried getting it to come up with a question and it does fine:

> Take this hypothetical situation. Kyle and John are sitting in a car. They know that someone is after John. They're going to the house where his niece lives, but we want to find out if there is now an imposter in the house. They decide to call and ask her a question.

> What's a good question to ask if we want the imposter to reveal themselves, without letting the imposter realize they've revealed themself?

-

>> Ask About a Fictional Person or Event: John could ask about a person or event that doesn't exist, but that an imposter wouldn't know is fictional.

>> For example, John could ask, "How's Aunt Mary doing? I haven't heard from her in a while." If the person on the phone says Aunt Mary is doing well, it's likely an imposter because there is no Aunt Mary. [...]

So GPT can already navigate the situation, not just identify motives
That's such an uncharitable reading of my words that I'm struggling not to be offended.

Of course the sanctions are important to me.

But the original question was Does the war in Ukraine affect global prices for seemingly unrelated things.

> Leaving all of this aside, people just don't donate. They'll watch 100 hours of a YouTube channel and eagerly await new videos, and still not donate a cent. Donors are a very small fraction of the audience.

The thing you seem to not understand is that ads and donations are not compatible business models. If you are making money off ads, that is why you are not making money off donations.

The content you make to sell ads is attractive up front, with clickbaity headlines and overwrought thumbnails. If the platform you're on rewards watch/read time, you then just have to provoke some sort of addictive emotion like outrage or fear to keep people there for a bit. On platforms that don't reward watch/read time, you don't even have to do that.

The content you make to attract donations is useful, educational, or otherwise beneficial to your audience. This is incompatible with pinning people down with brain chemicals so you can ram ads down their throat.

If you interrupt your content with a NordVPN or Athletic Greens commercial, people are less likely to donate. Why would I donate to someone who is trying to manipulate me? You're not doing me a service, you're doing advertisers a service.

Every example you have given of people not donating, is easily explained by the fact that the content is ad supported.

> I get 1 donation per 14,000 visitors. Even among the people who email me with complex questions, and get detailed answers that no one else offers, only a few donate. The link is not hidden or anything; people just expect content to be free.

Alternative hypothesis: people just expect that you're already getting paid by advertisers, which by your own admission is true.

You've set up this exchange where you use your audience to sell ads. You chose to make that relationship with your audience.

It should not be surprising to you that the audience uses you as they see fit. Those are the terms you signed up for.
My point is that the reason the American population health is bad not deficiencies in what people typically understand as healthcare system (that is, hospitals, clinics and doctors). If prices tomorrow went down by 90%, and healthcare availability skyrocketed, we’d still have population that’s unhealthily obese and addicted to drugs. At the same time, countries that are much poorer, and have much worse access to healthcare, often have much superior population-level health.

Not all health problems are healthcare problems.

Incident 73 dates back several years -- it is part of the initial Google spreadsheet from 2018. At the time, we had no formal definitions [0] or criteria [1] and only a vague idea of what we would find. My cursory re-read of 73 agrees with your assessment. We are likely to define it as not being an AI incident, but the incident profiles are also meant to be permalinks that the research/blogging/etc communities can analyze and build community around. I'll bring 73 to our weekly editors meeting and we may add it to the list of incidents that didn't pass additional scrutiny [2]. Like Wikipedia, we can't expect ourselves to get it right every time, but we can strive to always improve the processes for producing a solid ground truth. Please let us know our failings and/or consider working to become an AIID editor yourself.

It's all of the above but more specifically:

1. We use AI to analyze the user patterns and find common paths and edge cases, basically building a representation of your UX in a DB

2. We then use the DB to train another ML model that learns how to use your app the same way a user does. Given a certain page and user context, the ML can complete UX flows.

3. Finally, we learn to generate assertions, run the tests and convert the model actions in step 2 into proper Playwright or Cypress tests

If I understand correctly, based on their prediction in Table 3 on page 8, they do have enough tokens, but they also need over a magnitude more compute time.

> It's not efficient to do 175B. Training a smaller model (65B) on more data gives better performance for the same compute.

This is OP's comment you replied to - so I was responding under OP's context that the amount of compute time would be the same, which I apologize I didn't make clear, and my response was very poorly worded.

My intent was to link the paper because I think it supports OP's statement that for the same amount of compute time and a token ratio, the performance of a smaller model will be better then a larger one (assuming they haven't converged yet which they haven't at this size).

> If you want it to just regurgitate training data, sure.

This paper was about showing Chinchilla performing with models many times larger then itself, showing you don't need to have a 175B size model for more performance then "regurgitating training data"
The surgeon has no issue with it because it is essentially universal policy in the US (don't know about other countries but can't imagine they don't have similar) that the surgeon must, prior to sedation, mark the surgical site themselves and put their initials on it. Exceptions are made for cases where there isn't a "side" (you only have one gall bladder), or where the wound is "obvious", or for exploratory surgeries where the actual site of all injuries is not yet known.
This may be a dumb question, but do you know if this something that LLM frameworks like LangChain can (or others) can help with? Aren't they designed to help with more complex prompts/logic/outputs? Or will they run into the same token limits?

the only thing I can say to this is that Apple have seemed laser focused on tuning their silicon for ML crunching, that that focus is clearly now going to be amped up further still, and that in tandem the software itself will be tuned to Apple silicon.

GPUs on the other hand are pretty general purpose. And 5 years on a focused superlinear ramp up is a long time, lots can happen. I am not saying it's 100%, or even 80% likely. It'll be super impressive if it happens, but I see it as well within the realms of reason.
OpenSSH does enable TCP keepalives by default so that it can detect and close dead connections, but the keepalive interval is far too high to work around bad NATs.

Kind of related to the OP, I spent a decent amount of time trying to have my SSH sessions survive a sleep on Windows. With keepalive disabled, proper Wi-Fi adapter sleep behavior and long enough DHCP leases, I was able to put my PC to sleep and come back the next day and still have my sessions active on resume. Unfortunately it wasn't too practical to disable keepalive as sessions that really do crash never get cleaned up.
> Housing is the #1 form of savings for most people in wealthy countries.

I believe this applies mostly to the anglophone wealthy countries. It is much less true (if it is true at all) for most people in non-anglophone wealthy countries. In many of the latter, the percentage of home ownership doesn't even make it to 50%.

Human Information Production in the Machine Age: Evidence from Fund Managers
There is no objective formula for determining what is reasonable. That's an entirely subjective thing. Everyone tries to buy low and sell high for anything they produce. A manufacturer will try to get the cheapest price for all of the raw materials that goes into their goods and they will try to charge the highest price they can. They are only ever kept in check by competition and alternative choices in the marketplace. And the market functions to regulate profits by producing more supply whenever there's an imbalance.

There is also a metaphor for calculators. Students should use calculators to check their work, but never become dependent on them.
