Yes, exactly, that's the problem. They're trying to mechanically evaluate individual sentences or even fragments of sentences, the AI is asked to rewrite it and then hallucinates some context that wasn't actually stated. Then they claim the sentence is ambiguous based on the different random hallucinated contexts they get. In reality there was likely to be some surrounding context that pinned down the context that the LLM is otherwise inventing, but in this academic exercise it is removed.

> "He entered the room. When he pushed the button, the lights came on."

This statement doesn't state causality directly, it's just a very plausible inference by the listener based on what they already know about buttons and lights, and the assumption that this sentence wasn't preceded by some sort of modifying information (e.g. maybe the button is not connected to anything in which case the cause of the light coming on is different).

In artificial cases like this it doesn't matter if your inference is wrong, but it wouldn't be fair to label the speaker as ambiguous. The statement is not ambiguous. If later it turns out that your assumption of causality was incorrect, you can't turn around and blame whoever wrote that sentence because it was your assumption to start with.

Hmm I wonder if my buying habits are different but I have never browsed Amazon to check products. Anytime I want to buy something, I always have the exact brand/product in mind. Never felt the spam issue or Prime delivery issues either. Maybe it has become mostly concentrated in the cities? Agree on Flipkart customer support.
I’ve had that happen a few times (not recently, probably not since the latest watchOS). It’s just a bug.
> vacations I extremely don't want to go on

Why do you think I pay for flights and lodgings? ;)

But really in my family’s case flights are expensive and quickly add up to a month of their income. It’s not that they don’t want to go somewhere fun, it’s that they can’t. And I’m tired of burning all my vacations on going back home. Flying them out somewhere fun is the obvious solution.

I was curious so I did a Brave search to find out if that behavior can be changed. You can supposedly (I haven't tried it) echo 2 into /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory and the kernel will refuse to commit more memory for a process than the available swap space and a fraction of available memory (which is also configurable). See https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/lk/lk-9.html#ss9.6 for more details.

I usually write my programs to only grab a little more memory than is actually needed so I might play around with this at home. I wonder if this has lead to a culture of grabbing more memory than is actually needed since mallocs only fail at large values if everything is set the traditional way.

Defaulting to overcommit seems risky. I'd much rather the system tell me no more memory is available than just having something segfault. I could always wait a bit and try again or something or at the very least shut down the program in a controlled manner.
Hard to understand your comment in context of intel.

There are a handful fabs around the whole world who can even make those chips intel and tsmc can do.

No one will just replace any of them in any near capacity at all.

And the entry to this level of tech is not 'just a few millions' ist actually (just making a fab with people and processies of people who know how to do this) is 10-20 billions.

And if you would take any software company i also disagree: I was working in a small company, they didn't knew security really. I intriduced a ton of security. In comparision to the huge company i'm now: The developers still don't know much about security but the security teams of my company do.

In my opinion the gap will be even bigger because small companies (besides the cool and hip new elite startups) still have more of a traditional mindset while the big onces need to compete. They need to use AI and co and they have the financial background to create AI teams.
I downvoted because you are telling too loud worlds: you claim to read all the books, investigated all its authors, realized all of them has some crooked interest and especially because you fail to see any problem solved. You are such a liar.
I'm curious what the legal restrictions are here. I would imagine if a hamburger from a fast food restaurant could replace half of its meat with plant protein that I may not really notice if no one tells me. At the same time, the price differential is probably going to be very small that I would absolutely go for the pure meat option every time if its just within a dollar difference.

You are absolutely correct in the history to my recollection. But I'd challenge that it was a good idea as having multiple product lines better creates opportunities for new and unique products in different spaces.

Optane is an example of where Intel tried to "fake it" but ended up producing a confused product that didn't leverage common industry knowledge in either the memory or solid state storage spaces. More towards a near future, Intel should be looking at compute-on-memory hardware, which promises to radically improve computation in a number of areas, and fundamentally would give them an "in" into neural network-like tech.

Similarly, the companies that do produce NAND and SSD technologies seem to have figured out how to make money in a commoditized and highly competitive market.

Certainly. Having requirements set in stone helps rewriting any code base. They probably get more time for optimization with the language handling a lot of the security and correctness issues as well as future changes.
Under-banked does not mean they have no money. They obviously have some money or they would starve. Many live paycheck-to-paycheck and give 3% of their wages to a check cashing service. If it were as easy as you seem to think for them to get a bank account, those check cashing businesses all around the country would not exist.
Cloned is better here, used in its figurative sense. Mimicked works, but has implication of just copying like a parrot.
I strongly dislike this idea. The only reduction in boilerplate is the missing import, aside from that it's pretty much the same - and introducing language keywords just to save an import isn't a good enough justification.
Because for low-stakes authentication like "pulling up your account" for the customer service worker it's fine.
Oh definitely! Yeah, as reasonably performance glue between native modules I'd have no hesitation using Node. I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread about my day job processing 500MB/s worth of live imaging data... I wouldn't be considering Node for that :). In "normal operation" it saturates about 6 of the 12 cores we've got available on the "embedded" system (is it really "embedded" if it has 12 beefy ARM cores and 32GB of RAM?).
These sensors are designed to withstand contact with water and to minimize hydrolysis, and I haven’t had issues with that so far. I’ve been running this system for close to a year and they still seem to calibrate just fine.

Indeed the problem is they don't have enough money. Regardless this is a problem for congress. If we're sure they have enough money, this has historically been solved with postal banking. Let's just re-start that. [1]

Check cashing isn't just about cashing the check, it's a predatory short-term lending facility. Actually cashing a check is a solved problem.

Yeah. Inviting people to a rented house you live in doesn't feel weird - it's where you live at after all. They're paying it no matter if you arrive or not.

But if it was a rented AirBnB just for the occasion I'd certainly feel the obligation to chip in on the bill.

This hearkens back to the analog days, but I can't drive without music. My last car had a crappy stereo. I happened to have a project box lying around so I built a 12-watt, 4-channel amplifier.

I made a "laser-beam-break" camera trigger for my Nikon D750, which I use to capture images of hummingbirds at my feeder.

Instead of paying $125 for this ... (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1337050-REG/pluto_tri...)

I decided to build one using an Arduino. I probably spent more than $125 on the project, but I ended up buying a lot of hobbyist electronics parts, soldering gun, etc.

I learned a bit about what Arduino can do, learned some baby electronics.

And I have some nice pics of hummingbirds.

I think you're making a lot of assumptions here. If you believe ethics drives you to be vegan, that's respectable, you do you, but it's not the only way to act on ethics.

There are many, many reasons to be ethically-motivated but not go all the way to 100% veganism. Some of them include:

* Having beliefs that are more socially compatible and being able to attend a wide spectrum of social events and enjoy them with others allows one to exert greater influence on others (especially if you believe that e.g. 10 people reducing meat intake by 25% is better than 1 person reducing by 100%). There's a good chance that hard vegans don't get invited to a lot of things, and are effectively locked out of a lot of opportunities to exert influence.

* If you are pragmatic and believe the world is highly unlikely to stop eating meat altogether but can reduce meat intake to a point where peoples' appetites are satisfied but factory farming isn't necessary

* If your ethical reasons are largely carbon-motivated, in which case going 90% vegan (time-wise OR portion-wise) is scientifically, mathematically, close enough to 100% that environmental concerns become a non-issue

* If your body's physiology cannot cope with a vegan diet but can cope with a 90% vegan diet

There are lots of other reasons, and while veganism is respectable, I disagree that black-and-white thinking is the only way to approach ethics.

He said nothing about vegans. He is only talking about himself. You are making assumptions about what point you think he is trying to make, and/or belittling his own personal ethical stance on things, just because he is vegetarian. What you are doing is wrong.

But you are correct that I’m projecting a bit. This is because as a vegetarian, I’ve seen so much vegan arrogance, condescension, and outright aggression toward vegetarians that I am indeed particularly sensitive to it. So if I see it I call it out. In my experience, an average vegan has more hostility toward a lifelong vegetarian than they have toward a lifelong meat-eater (granted that most vegans hold no hostility at all— so this would be a smaller subset of vegans that do hold hostility— a great many can be seen on any random Facebook vegan group).
You won't see power efficiency and temps comparable to apple silicon on the Intel MBPs, being 14nm, though you can probably get a nice marginal improvement like giving up 10% performance for 20% less power draw. The newer chips from AMD and Intel are comparably efficient to apple silicon with a restrictive power envelope.
I distinctively didn't say the US shouldn't. I said the H1B program is not working as intended and pointed out its faltering its mission, and has been for decades.

Whether we should have better immigration policies is a separate discussion, and I think we most definitely should. Path to citizenship would be for the best. It historically has worked out in the favor the nation, after all.

The H1B program isn't this at all though
I believe AWS struck the right balance to "Think Big" and not worry about minutiae at the beginning, while tightening the belt and ensuring costs are not out of control at later stages. One of my teams was given the charter to map the entire world's Internet weather map. This service collected billions of data points every 5 mins and we spent many 10s of millions doing it. But as soon as the innovation phase was over, I had to take a goal and start an MBR (Monthly Business Review) to drive the costs down. This was a really interesting mechanism which doesn't stifle innovation in the short-term but doesn't let costs go crazy in the long-term.

Did you see a similar pattern in EC2?

They've told their investors that everybody else does it wrong, to deliberately divorce their own valuation from reality. They don't want to be valued like a regular greenhouse company, they want to be valued as a cutting edge company with huge unbounded potential. Turning around and using COTS solutions undermines that narrative.
I've never been logged out, even on my headset with two accounts.

I don't disagree that there's too much friction to just starting the thing up and playing though, and casting what you're doing - something I've only ever done once - doesn't work well. You can also use a tablet/phone with the Oculus app, for what it's worth.

But still, you might want to try my suggestion. The strap is much quicker to adjust, the battery on the back balances out the weight, and if you had the dock with two batteries you wouldn't ever need to worry about charging the actual headset itself.

Keep in mind that if you're only using it as your own personal device a lot of those steps/gripes go away completely. You'd only have the clear area steps and possibly resetting the play area, though mine usually finds it.

My biggest personal gripe is how sometimes it just randomly decides to take an extra minute starting up, where you're in the passthrough type mode but it hasn't found the play area. I don't know if it's looking for it and can't find it, doing an update in the background, etc.

All petroleum surpluses go into the Government Pension Fund Global (one of three wealth funds that the government manages). The state is allowed to withdraw from this fund, mostly to cover shortfalls in the state budget.

The target maximum withdrawal rate since 2018 has been 3%. This rate is a guideline only, and the government is allowed to exceed it. Since 2000, in most years the withdrawal rate has much far below the limit (see charts here [1]), but sometimes exceeded, most recently in in 2020 and 2021.

I think framing it this way could actually help us reach the next step with AI, if we ask how we could imbue it with those properties.

A human neural net is constantly bombarded with inputs from many different senses, which firstly, gets prioritized based on prior usefulness. That usefulness is updated all the time, constantly, and that's what any current AI implementation lacks.

1 - The continuous integration of data from all "senses".
This one should be self-evident, as obviously, all our senses are constantly barraging our brain with data and it learns to handle that over time, in whichever way your genetic makeup + learned internal cognitive processes dictate it be handled.

2 - The network that decides which data requires which amount of attention, and whether to store it in short or long term memory. This is obviously tied in quite closely to 1, as you need massive amounts of data to understand underlying patterns, and which data is just spam, versus what's really valuable.

3 - And with these two things together come the emergence of improving of
approximation of consistency. Which means, this itself is a metric which the
agent running the other agents needs to be aware of. Its silly to think the human
brain is a single agent. It makes way more sense to see it as various interacting
agents that equate to a greater sum than its parts.

Now, that being said, I'm not an expert on AI or Data Science, but this is more or less how my understanding of computational theory of mind meets with biological computing and neural networks.
My theory is that, the first actually intelligent AI will be one that is composed of a network that makes decisions on how to spend a unit of iteration. One iteration becomes "an instant" to the AI. Aka, the AI decides to spend one iteration thinking, or spawns a sub-agent (which it is aware will consume resources that other processes might also need access to, but it needs to be able to decide which action to pursue).

So in all honesty, its amazing to me that LLM's on their own have been able to achieve this level of "personhood" despite their being only a tiny subset of the whole that makes up a "conscious" entity.

Edit: Misunderstood parent's point.

There is an initiative called ONDC [1] that is aiming to bring to e-commerce in India the same kind of network based approach that the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) did for payments.

ONDC's charter is quite ambitious and it is trying to become the network for ecommerce in the country.

While it is absolutely not a contender to the established ecommerce players in terms of reach, spread, depth etc., yet, it could be a gamechanger if it gets adopted far and wide.

I don't for a moment claim this is perhaps the cause for Amazon to scale down ops in India. Just pointing a broader trend and strategic threat.

Not really the question here. The H1B visa is intended to specifically target industries with a shortage of workers. Even as someone who arrived in the country on an H1B myself I question whether software engineering is experiencing a shortage these days given the mass layoffs we’ve seen lately.

Whether we should prioritize local workers over foreign (and whether we have enough local workers) is a much broader political question.

This is pretty cool and impressive work! In a pleasant turn of events, "USB video device class" or UVC would have its initial release just 4 years later in 2003. Webcams implementing UVC, which most do since the early 2000s, communicate using a standard protocol which means almost any OS can access almost any webcam without any special drivers or software.

I have an 2012 Logitech webcam connected to an OpenBSD box. A cron job instructs ffmpeg to read from /dev/video0 every 10 minutes, which in turn writes a .jpg into a folder for creating a timelapse. Not bad for a random old webcam I had laying around.
