Interesting. If you look at Wiktionary or if you prefer, your favorite etymology dictionary, the word utilize is descended from Latin from the French word utiliser, via the Italian utilizzare which got it from the Latin utilis. All of those words mean to use.

I'd be the last person to say you're wrong. Matters of grammar and usage ultimately boil down to does it feel right and current usage. As is usual with these things, other people have different feelings about it. That's what dialect is I think.
This literally begs the question.
> This post comprises good points.

As a native speaker, I would say:

* Good points comprise this post.

* This post is comprised of good points.

I'm sure there's an interesting historical linguistics reason for the way things developed, but "comprised of" is well-established usage.
Why are you so sure that people wouldn’t agree to that? Do you see consistent polling data across generations indicating this trend? Is the popular opinion against climate relief funds in Europe? Are people in Denmark opposed to revenue from their garbage disposal/ski-hill going to climate relief in other countries? I don’t think so. And more importantly to your point, does polling suggest people are more willing to invest in carbon sequestration technology as a climate action, rather than green infrastructure in foreign countries? Show me these polls, and show me a lasting trend, and I’ll consider your point.

As a counter I’d like to offer you that the German population was ready to suffer a deeper energy crisis for harder sanctions with Russia after the Ukraine invasion. Polling was consistent, showing a willingness to accept lower standard of living, if it meant a possibility that a war fought in a poorer country would end sooner. On an individual level participants in a prisoner dilemma studies show a consistent willing to accept a worse deal if it means more people will be better off. Neither psychology nor general polling is on your side.

No, the people will accept lower standard of living just fine. The only ones who insist on anything are governments who are consistently unwilling to sacrifice the corporate profits of the rich. And here carbon sequestration works perfectly, as it will take decades for this technology to be mature and rolled out at scale, all the while corporation can keep polluting and keep turning in record profits for their shareholders. Something that people in the ”developed word“ (ugh!) actually generally oppose.

If you are interested in machine learning, check out Gabor Melis's library: https://github.com/melisgl/mgl. It's not an area I'm super familiar with, so I can't speak to it's feature set, but I believe he used it to win a machine learning competition some years ago.

I don't think anyone's written a transformer or diffusion model with it, could be a fun challenge.

I think what's more important is the end part of your prompt, which explains what was previously described and includes a request/question.
Writing code is such a small part of software development though. It’s an even smaller portion of software engineering (which involves tons of other skills such as translating user requirements/complaints into features/bug reports, recognizing trade offs and knowing when to make which one, having historical knowledge about the project such as which approaches to a particular problem have been tried and discarded and why, and so on).
I dare say you could find some of those 90k changes are to patent wording on Wikipedia.
Except that, per the article, the "correct" rendering would be "The United States comprises the 50 states" or "The 50 states are comprised by the United States" - because the United States is composed of / contains / includes the 50 states. Therein lies the issue: the word "comprised" is being used opposite from its actual meaning.

There probably ain't much we can realistically do about that, though. Words get misused until they're redefined all the time ("literally" being the popular contemporary example). Such are the joys of English being descriptivist.
Yeah, no. To this day Firefox developers building Gecko need a beefy desktop machine to be able to do it in a reasonable amount of time. I could do a clean build in 6 minutes with a ThreadRipper whose cores were all pegged, but forget doing the same in under an hour on a laptop.

And that was with unified builds enabled.
That’s a good point! Though, I would still argue that things like RC cars are more mainstream then a video about building a RISC-V emulator or re-implementing an existing protocol.
WordPress.

Wickedly Pernicious.
AI is turning into a kind of Rorschach test for people's deepest misgivings about how the world works. Ted Chiang's New Yorker piece was executed similarly, though that at least had the benefit of being focused on the big picture near term economic repercussions. Almost all of us are going to suffer, irrespective of our gender or skin color.

Seems like a pretty straight forward solution would be for the city to tax the business the difference in this lost revenue, if they feel the relationship is unfair, no?
AAC.

Acronyms are confusing.

But some people also say AC -acronyms confuse.

I thought of a byzantine WordPress site with editing history or something as well,

Wait, WP for Wikipedia isn't even an acronym, just an abbreviation!

True, the grid isn't ready for 300M EVs by 2030... but it will have to be.

Alas, consumers have a long history of ignoring exhortations to change their habits. They always do what they want, not what some authority tells them they ought to do. If they want giant-ass long-range electric trucks and SUVs, they will buy giant-ass long-range electric trucks/SUVs.

The only viable solution is a massive wave of investment to improve energy generation, storage, delivery, and efficiency worldwide.

I believe we can do it :-)
Maybe that's a stupid question, but : why can't its lifetime be extended again ?

The article says "much of its hardware is decades old, which could eventually see the station become dangerous or even uncontrollable in orbit" but it's not very explicit about why we couldn't change some internal hardware / repair what needs to be repaired and keep the main overall structure for a longer lifetime ?

How so? Here are the facts:

1. TCI writes a letter to Google saying that they should layoff employees.

2. A few weeks later, Google lays off employees.

3. Literally the day the Google layoffs are announced, TCI writes a letter to Google saying "I have appreciated our recent dialogue concerning Alphabet's cost base. I am encouraged to see that you are now taking some action to right size Alphabet's cost base and understand that it is never an easy decision to let people go."

How else should these facts be interpreted.
It's unfortunate. There are some online tutorials that instruct you to embed all your code and perform top-k cosine similarity searches, populating the responses accordingly.

It's quite interesting if you can tweak your search just right. You can even use less tokens than 8K even!
That i'm finally breaking my "just google it" habits for technical stuff.

Had it write non blocking micro-controller code for a project (about 75% of the output was put into production) it helped making variable names and general structure. The first output was bad because it blocked the button read while "breathing" and led but then I told it: "non blocking code please".
I wouldn't constrain it to only corporations, but all entities.

Ultimately, most of the dangers, at least those close enough to reason about all are risks that come about from how we will use AI on ourselves.

I've described those and much more from the following.

"Yet, despite all the concerns of runaway technology, the greatest concern is more likely the one we are all too familiar with already. That is the capture of a technology by state governments and powerful institutions for the purpose of social engineering under the guise of protecting humanity while in reality protecting power and corruption of these institutions."

> Sites like smspva.com would have dozens of those devices, should they be illegal?

Your argument is that since this clearly sketchy service ran from Hong Kong that is dedicated to giving people the ability to automate signups on sites/apps and “earn money using our service” utilizes dozens of these devices, these devices are OK?
Well sure, many were aware of gamma correction, but everyone's so used with how incorrect compositing looks, that it works "fine" in their mind. And being aware of gamma doesn't mean you truly grok the extent of visual corruption that spreads in images while compositing, scaling, editing etc.

I heard explanations how it'd be slow, or doesn't matter, or what am I talking about, all ultimately variations of "works as coded, won't fix".

There are clearly people at Adobe who are aware of the issue in some capacity, and their efforts have weird specifics, such as... they noticed text anti-aliasing looks weird, so they added an Advanced Control called "Blend Text Colors Using Gamma" option in Color Settings. The bizarre thing is that none of this is specific to text. It's just that text has many small complex shape edges, and you notice it more on text (like Carmack noticed it on the star field). They didn't fix vector art rendering, for example. And the option default is not even the correct gamma for a document, but 1.45 which makes no sense at all. They just "eyed it" and went with it.

There's also a Blend RGB Colors Using Gamma option which is disabled by default. If you enable it, it corrects SOME operations, but not others, with no rhyme or reason. However, you can't really tweak those yourself, because if you do, the settings are not saved per document, they're global. So if you tweak them... then ALL Photoshop files you open will look wrong, because they were originally made for another configuration of these settings. Which leaves you with 32-bit color channels. I have Actions that convert an image to 32-bit to scale, and back to 8/16-bit, just so it's gamma corrected.

It's... a f***ing mess.
There's the token limit-- the maximum number of tokens to respond.

There's also the token context: how many words into the "past" it considers when formulating the next word.

They're different things. You can generate very, very long responses with a model with a short context window; it just will have amnesia about what it said earlier-- though OpenAI often seems to restrict you / prevent you from having context scroll off in this way.
Meanwhile, I still feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The prose these systems can generate is low-quality and incoherent. They are able to regurgitate textbook responses to simple questions but cannot display any sort of original reasoning.

Fluent content-free drivel is now essentially free, whatever that's worth.

It's not quite just disabling compilation of code, but also disables some runtime checks (eg. "else if (iomap_use_buffer_heads(srcmap))" branches will be false at compile time and optimized out). But the difference is probably unmeasurably small.
Unless you have money/connections. Most cities have private schools with excellent rankings.
The interesting thing is despite the rules governments in countries like India or Ghana with strict registration laws will routinely find 3000 SIM cards on raids on simbox operators.
This is a pretty weird view of it I think. Ranking people in that way.
It also matter that they apparently wrote a for loop a number of times without wondering what each of those symbols actually does and just treated it as magic incantation.

It is absolutely pointless to bother contributing to Wikipedia. Either it’s so notable someone else will do it, or you’ll get steamrolled by some out of control editor.
I don't think I have ever seen another person exit a public restroom using a barrier of some sort to prevent touching the door/handle. I certainly do it, though I'm not actually sure if it matters or not.

In my city's major hospital, the signs with handwashing instructions specifically mention turning off the faucet with the provided paper towels. They don't however mention the door knobs. Sometimes you will hear the water running (then going off) and the tearing of said paper moments later. Followed by a person bare handing the door, the button for the hallway doors, then touching their face and nose.

Seems gross to me but I'm sure I am just a tad bit of a germaphobe.

I do wish the Quest 2 had a more cleanable padding. Mine is used exclusively by me but the sweat, face gunk and hundreds of hairs that I can't easily remove(and dont feel leave my head) are definitely a bit problematic for sharing.

There is no "standard English." There sure as hell isn't a consensus that "comprised of" is incorrect, or it wouldn't have been used over 90k times.

I disagree. One can read without knowing how to recite the abc’s (ie alphabetic order), sure. But anybody that is a competent reader will have little problem learning the abc’s if they were forced to recite it for a test.

You claim to be a competent musician who doesn’t know scales. I can imagine half-diminished and other intermediate level stuff being non-essential but at the very least major and minor scale knowledge is needed to read music. Being able to sight read implies playing in all keys, which requires knowing the major/minor scales.

> is it a specific, known house you are going to

"I'm going house" contains less meaning than "I'm going to [a] house". Without the preposition, it could mean "I'm leaving [a] house" ("I'm going from house").
It looks like it's not possible to export the history to a format the shell can import[0], so if I wanted to try this out, my commands would be locked there.

> generating new thought

I was beguiled yesterday (reflecting on our chattering mechanical friends) with the idea (new for me) that production of 'thought' doesn't necessarily require a 'thinker'. It's just that we thinkers -- that is the HomoSapiens -- have only known of production of thought as thinkers, and assumed there is 'thinking' involved. (This is what is causing the confusion in some granting GPT the coveted 'thinker' and 'thinking' status.)

If that is the case, then we have misnamed 'thought': It was always nothing more than a proposition, but we assumed it was intimately connected with the experience of thinking.
Surprising. Next you'll tell me that not even Netflix works in Lynx or something crazy like that.
I wonder, what would come out, if all these editing things can also be automated and optimized by an AI. Leaving the video intact, but doing the cuts, translation, timestamps, colorizing, densing, audio gaining, lighting, so it all looks compared to things out there.

I live in the upper Midwest. A growing number of small towns have evolved away from the "town center" model, and now have a mostly vacant / decaying downtown, and strip malls anchored by big-box stores, at the edge of town. Or, the same thing but with the stores in a neighboring town. In other words, the small towns have re-structured themselves as suburbs without the urb.

The exceptions are towns with a hospital or college that can retain some vitality in the downtown area.
32k tokens, 3/4 of 32k is 24k words, each page average is 500 or 0.5k words, so that's basically 24k / .5k = 24 x 2 =~48 pages.
A lot of people pushing for all-EV laws would be even happier if ubiquitous car culture were brought to an end and commoner rural / suburban people were all forced to move into cities and rely on mass transit. So I'm not convinced such shortcomings in the all-EV plan are unintentional. The 2030 timetable seems deliberately too short to be realistic.
Legally it was defensible. That's what matters. Was it controversial? Sure.

But India has several "union territories". Kashmir is not unique.

On the other hand, citizens of Jammu and Ladakh were overjoyed, so there lots of people who supported it.

Now Kashmir is getting tons of investment. They'll be spending nearly a billion dollars on building metros in Srinagar. Such progress would not have been possible under the old regime.
Cool! Another idiot to avoid working for. I like it when bad workplaces and incompetent bosses advertise themselves. Makes my next

What they're really saying is to start thinking of marriage in Dickensian terms, when the impetus for coupling up was transactional (basic survival, mutual aid) rather than romantic love as we're accustomed to framing it today.

There are a lot of people in the modern world who need exactly that, but are in hock to cinematic depictions of marriage and feel that evaluating their needs from the angle of pure survival is unnatural.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I actually prefer the use "is comprised of" over "comprises". For the supposedly correct version, you can almost always say it differently:

E.g. simply: A proton contains three quarks. But if you want to use passive voice, there is no good other option. A proton is made of three quarks? Sounds too colloquial. ...is put together from...? No. I think "A proton is comprised of three quarks" is the cleanest way of saying what I want to say.

And yes, this was an actual example from my work and I discussed it through because I feel strongly about it :-)
I think people mean to say "composed of" but then they change it to "comprised" because it sounds more high-class and elite.
>Note that "The Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Collins English Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionaries regard the form comprised of as standard English usage."

I've never found this a convincing argument. Think of when you use a dictionary: it's because you want to understand a word that you don't understand in its context. If it didn't include all uses, the dictionary wouldn't help you. A dictionary a tool to help consume language.

If you want help to produce language, you refer to a style guide. The barrier for acceptability is much higher there.
So does mine.
I got access to ChatGPT plugins and they’re really bad, completely deserving of “alpha”. I’d be pissed if I paid 25$ for this fyi.

It’s very slow, almost 10X slower than ChatGPT

It’s integration is bad. For most plugins it doesn’t do anything smart with its API call. For example if I ask “Nearest cheap International flight”, it literally goes to Kayak and searches Nearest Cheap International Flight, if Kayak can’t handle that query, GPT can’t either.

The only plug-in with good integration is Wolfram and it makes so many syntax errors calling Wolfram that it’s thrash. Often it just syntax errors out for half my queries

I wouldn’t have minded if they spent a few more months internally testing plug-ins before rolling it out to me, seeing it’s current state. The annoying thing is the chat website automatically starts at plugins mode which is borderline unusable. So every time I have to click on the drop-down and then choose ChatGPT or GPT4.
The Truth About E-Bike Fires
I believe technically speaking, "is composed of" is correct, "is comprised of" is not. Although "is comprised of" sounds more elite.
This isn't useful nerding over details. It's more like that annoying person who goes around GitHub making pull requests to big projects with just some pointless wording tweaks in the documentation so they can claim to have contributed to the project on their resume.
They need engines to safely navigate close to port, I would think
Hmm I don’t have this issue; we work on shared whiteboards and I work on multiple huge monitors for my normal every day programming. Nothing fuzzy here… not sure what the difference is.

LoRA probably does not affect the models biggest bottle neck. The attention mechanism. Original transformer was O(n^2d) where n is the query length and d was the cardinal of all the tokens
A typical command I run is never going to be something I look up again, so I would prefer to optimize for writing instead of reading. Dumping every command to a file adds no friction to my regular work, while attempting to categorize garbage commands would add a lot of friction.

Also, when I do want to reference my deep history I often find that seeing the full list of what I was doing is helpful at getting myself back into the frame of mind I was in when I ran the commands originally, which can be more valuable than seeing exactly which commands I ran.
