You're not thinking it through, because that always on ubiquitous nature is very much a double edged sword. There has never been a time when the youth has been so incredibly targeted to hijack the release of dopamine with doom scrolling endless entertainment.

A child who is constantly inundated with passive entertainment never has the opportunity to cultivate their own voice.
> In Romanian you can be incredibly sophisticated (via modern French influence), but also stay close to the agricultural and pastoral roots.

What makes you think French has a less "agricultural" root than Romanian. Both languages have existed since a time when industrialization was still far in the future... are you suggesting French somehow evolved from a more academic foundation?? This sounds kind of ridiculous to me.

From my limited understanding of how LLMs work, I believe this behavior is enabled by embeddings. The model maps its ~50,000 token vocabulary into a lower-dimensional vector space. Each dimension in the vector adds some sort of meaning (or at least association) to the word.

I saw an example in a Numberphile video where they were able to take the vector of the word "prince", subtract the vector of the word "man", add the vector of the word "woman", and the resulting vector was closest to the word "princess". So in theory there could be a "gender" dimension and a "position of authority" dimension in that vector (or the model might be making other, stranger connections between words that we don't understand).

I think the same thing is happening in your example. The model identifies and produces output that keeps it in the general region in the vector space for the "Shakespearean" and "Bowiean" dimensions while still satisfying other requirements.

For developers, I should also mention Bing Chat seems to be in the lead for asking questions like, "In this <github repo link>, can you tell me what this function does <function name>?" (or insert your own question you might ask another developer about some repo). I suspect this is because Microsoft has already done the chunking/embedding/vector-storage for all of Github and Bing Chat is querying a vector database for info about the repo, whereas the other GPT-search-chat offerings aren't there yet.

I’ve been using Dynadot for years. I trust them and I’ve found them to be reliable.
That isn't a fair summary of what I'm saying.

People who say "LLMs are stochastic parrots" may well be aware of effects of conditioning the input.

This in itself does not completely describe the capabilities of a LLM, since their ability to learn and use those new facts to override their previous "beliefs" is not what you'd expect from mere stochastic behavior.

My point is that "stochastic parrot" believers are unaware of this.

I was talking to the repair-man who came in, apparently they could run 200amp on the lines that are currently in place, had they been overhead. Running the wire straight in the ground (no conduit in my case) makes for poor heat dissipation, which limits to the 100/125 main.

I wonder if this changes if they have the 3inch conduit.
Having achieved a foreign language college major with minors in two others I find it hard not to be cynical about this unless the doors you’re talking about are things like vacations, entertainment, and similar amusements. From a work perspective it has not done much for me. Of course that could be different if my native language weren’t English or I didn’t work in the US, but then that’s just about the relative economic importance of various languages and not some inherent property of multilingualism.

If you start with AService in module A, other modules need to depend on A to use it. You get into circular dependencies trouble when A needs to use a service from another module B that itself or through a dependency needs the AService. One solution is to split it into an AService interface you put in a new module, call it e.g. A-api, and leave the implementation in A which now depends on A-api. Do the same for B/B-api. It's a lot less likely that your -api modules will circularly depend on each other because they only contain interface definitions, so A can safely depend on both A-api and B-api and B can safely depend on both B-api and A-api.

A more concrete example of an A and B that need to interact with each other might be a user account service and a (financial) transactions service. (Why not let them live in the same module? That can also be a solution, but as the scope of each grows and especially if separate teams end up owning each it can make sense to split them and enforce some boundaries via the interfaces.) Another example could be a notifications service and several of its clients, like whatever is handling user posts kicks off a notification event and asynchronously the notification service processes it and may need to reach around to call back into other services that could be part of the sender's module. (Passing simple lambdas may be an adequate alternate solution too.)

> English language helps you to avoid exaggerating or generalizing too much

I speak English and another 3 languages. IMO this is not due to the language itself, it's 100% cultural. English has as much power as any language I know (Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish) to make exaggeration and generalization, it just seems to happen that most English speakers tend to use those less then, say, Brazilians (but probably more than Swedes, I think).
They are mostly sending stuff that was stock piled to fight a war with Russia in eastern Europe too, fight a war with Russia in Eastern Europe.

> Forget the politics and focus on the software? It’s simply not possible. Free software is politics.

I believe this fundamentally to be true, and not only for software or free software. A lot of things that people wish to be apolitical are political by nature, and like it or not you make political statements all the time about things.

"Just leave the politics out of it" is also a political statement, I see it often online made by gamers complaining about woman or minority characters in video games. Whatever you choose, it _is_ a political statement to make a character white, black or asian.
It's still an important piece of information, first because it disagrees with what we previously thought, second because there are fringe cases in which learning a language doesn't open you to anything else.

I'm Spanish and live in the Basque Country. Everybody speaks Spanish here, but we are supposed to also speak Basque. The idea that it's advantageous to learning and such is one of the main arguments used to justify a push to learn the language. Basque language was the subject I invested the most time in through my whole compulsory education, so frankly, I do care.

Nah, I'm just implying that you're overreacting, and connecting two unrelated things because of that.
There's only the testimony of the financial manager (Tony Lee) to imply that Tony Hsieh's brother Andy was "seeking to exploit his brother rather than protect him".

So I think it remains plausible that Andy was, in truth, trying to preserve some assets to return to brother, in the hopes there'd eventually be some bottoming-out, possible rehab, & return-to-sanity.

Even if electricity was free, it would take 10s (if not 100s) of thousands of miles to make up for the initial price difference. But the future isn't written yet. It's entirely possible that gasoline will be $10/gallon next year and electricity may be free. In which case, it will only take 175,000 miles to break even.

Also, I think we're conflating two stories here. The first is about the SPECIFIC example of me and my brother. He bought an expensive car, I bought an inexpensive car. It's going to be at least another 300k miles before my gas expenses meet the price difference. At that point he can certainly start teasing me about how expensive my car is to operate. But I will still be able to call him a reactionary imperialist whose only interest is cheating the proletariat out of their right to travel in the HOV lane unimpeded by bourgeois singletons.

The second story is the general case, where someone who needs a car wants to compare the total cost of ownership of a Tesla vs. some other random non-EV. Let's also make the other random non-EV reasonably nice because if you're bougie enough to consider a Tesla, you would NEVER be seen in a Hyundai Accent. Bing tells me the MSRP on a 2023 Camry is $27k which is DANG CLOSE to a current Tesla after you throw in government credit. But the Camry can go 500 miles on a tank of gas and if you get the long range Tesla, the price starts going up. So there is a bit of a question here about how you might use your car (I mostly only drive city-to-city and use a bus in town, like any civilized person would.) But, I think the point here is the break-even point is MUCH lower than in my case.

There's also a third story I think is a little outlandish because we're comparing frightfully expensive cars with Teslas. This is where we compare the 2022 Rolls Boat Tail at $28M to the standard Model 3 after all the price cuts Elon's been talking about lately. If you can afford a Rolls Boat Tail, you don't care about how much gas (or electrons) cost. You would probably NEVER be seen in a standard Model 3. I think you would have to get a plaid and then gold plate every surface. Or maybe palladium plate every surface because someone told you gold was passé.

Or maybe you should consider alternative viewpoints and the point they're making. Also try not getting what the other person says wrong, complete with misquoting.

I never said “people should not be using computers to do computer things”.

I said that people shouldn't be storing sensitive data on their computers. And there's even more nuance to it, that you've also missed: first, that we're talking about the average person, and the state of their average laptop, vs their phone.

So not as in that people shouldn't do that all things being ideal, but as in that it is a bad security situation for most people, and for most average people worse than their locked-down phones.

If you think the average laptop (mac or not) is more secure than the average iOS device, you're mistaken.
> The “learning” in “In context learning” is not the same concept as learning during the network “training”. The former is loosely named and does not have any impact on what’s actually “learned” by the model.

Actually (and very surprisingly!) it is related.

See the "Similarity of Attention Output Updates" and "Similarity of Attention Map" metrics in https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.10559 (linked above) where they show that in-context learning actually changes the attention map in a similar way to traditional fine tuning(!!).

Obviously it can't modify the weights of the model on disk, but after ICL new passes through the model are treated quite similarly to how they would be if it has been fine tuned (again: this is astonishing!)
> Well not 3 times. If you count it like that, that means you dismiss and ignore the revolution, the civil war and all the people who were not happy about the fact that some mob had stolen their country.

I find it strange that the people in this civil war, where somehow instantly trained on complicated Russian military equipment, procured enough of this equipment to fight and then when they captured enough ground they eventually installed get this.

A former Russian FSB agent as the head of the military. Thats totally what happens in a totally 'real' civil war right.

"As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, including more than half of all American children under 16" (wikipedia)

Some also say, that those parents who cut off their kids from their friends are bad parents.

Parenting is about compromises and pure and clean solution only rarely exists. So yes, roblox is bad, as is facebook, tiktok and co. but banning it all and isolating your children is maybe not the perfect solution either.

My kids are not yet in the age of that crap, but soon there will surely be tough decisions to be made.

So maybe be careful with judging someone as a "bad parent", before being in that position yourself.

Not 50+. I spent my whole teenage life sitting at the back and yelling instructions to my brothers playing game. I didn't get into gaming because I honestly couldn't figure out the dual control of movement and camera angles. And most games doesn't give you the immediate dopamine hit. You have to grind for a while to get that dopamine hit.

So, think of chess or any board game. The domain movement is pretty much one dimensional and the dopamine hits (small wins) even tough small but frequent. The rules of the world are limited and there is limited lore.

Maybe when we say "gaming" we envision grand action packed games but there are games that are successful because of their absolute simplicity. And hence we have games like candy crush being so popular. Something that replicates the experience of board games while giving you the convinience to get started to without requiring snappy real time mental effort. You keep playing because of a constant and frequent small wins that sometimes result in a big win.

Now that I am writong this I am not thinking of chess anymore. This experience replicates gambling. So somewhere between gambling and gaming there lies beautiful concept of a gaming framework that would be perfect for older people.
Sorry that you feel that way, but there was no bait and switch, just reality of search today.

The same goes for French, even though I've been to France two or three times, I know a lot more about the country, its history, its moeurs as a result of me reading books directly in French (many of them never got translated, not even into English).

Can't tell if joking. I guess you read about exploding Tesla batteries in Pravda?

People with families can't load their kids and dogs and luggage into a cute clown car like a Fiat 500. If it suits your needs better that's great. I downsize even more and ride a motorcycle. These things aren't comparable.

The market for $75,000+ cars is small by definition there's really no need to throw shade like this comrade, the comparable cars are in the decadent luxury segment to begin with - which Tesla happens to be dominating for a reason. Horses for courses.

not really? It's not like CPython is written in Python either. Almost every language that has some notion of virtual environments writes a good chunk as shell scripts for maximum environment compatibility.

Sometimes you want to use the right tool for the job, and sometimes the scripting language that has a lot of environment-based configuration will not be a good fit for an "installer" that needs to handle a lot of environments cleanly.

Do you have a source for these claims? A peer-reviewed study would be best? All statistics of the last years show that Germany has replaced reactor capacity with renewables. And at the same time it has cut back on coal. The current negative development has to do with the war and the gas supply stop and not with the dismantling of nuclear power plants.
I think that the article misses the point. Many people are using ChatGPT for creation of relatively small but high quality datasets, because it is very easy. Stanford created an amazing dataset for their Alpaca for just $500.
If you are building a competitive model (such as Meta Llama), then you of course don't use ChatGPT-generated data, because you have the money to download the whole internet.

That is just wrong. It is the completely standard proof and can be found everywhere (the proof is over 2000 years old). Add to that, that it forgets to choose p and q as relatively prime, but then uses that at the end.... Not impressive.

After more research, I'm almost certain that they use the syndicated bing search instead of just using the API. Meaning they earn revenue for pure search, but I'm not sure if they still have to pay for some advanced parts of the API (filtering, autocomplete, etc). There's also no way to check if the revenue share dropped, which could be make sense considering how the price hike for the API. So take my comment with a grain of salt!

strange, i had a buddy in high school that went to Burning Man about 10 years ago. Before going he was under the impression that he could control his drug consumption. There was a stark difference in his behavior when he came back, he was more rash in actions. After a couple months he was stuck on pills, last I saw he was not looking too hot.

I hope he gets the will to get better.
