> Why would you cook or clean in Boston when you could do it literally anywhere else in MA without the commute?

Because that's where you have your social connections. Friends, family. That's where your home is, your parents lived there, your grandparents lived there, you grew up there. And you hold out for better times. And that's why you can be exploited like that.

That's the "not rational" part. The humans participating in the market are not "rational", for some odd definition of the word. But if you think through motivations, they are rational, if you put value in the reasons why people do this kind of job in this kind of situation.
> The largest US company in 1929 had revenues of about $1.5bn - roughly $30bn in 2023 dollars, which wouldn't even put it in the Fortune 100 today. Walmart today has revenues of about $600bn, which is roughly equivalent to 6x the top 50 companies in the US in 1929 combined!

US real gdp is 10x what is was in 1947 [0] (FRED only goes back to 1947). Add in the extra 18 years and the fact a bunch of companies are now global thus expanding their markets and those revenue numbers don't look so surprising.

Also, why'd you pick the start of the great depression as your start date?

I think the idea is mental association. In essence, the story's suggesting that people 'hallucinate' in just the same way as AI, taking an experience where there's an arbitrary connection to 'warm' or 'cold' and unjustifiably attributing that, using it in an arbitrary place because it's present in their 'weights'.

I think that's a good story, because I think such unjustified 'weights' DO have a profound effect. That it's BS is entirely the point. It's a fable about hallucination. It's part of intelligence.
I think that's unrelated to the type annotations though. Using the other function:

def _award_points_for_letters(guessed: int) -> int:
return 0 if guessed < 5 else guessed # minimum 6 points possible!

vs

def _award_points_for_letters(guessed):
return 0 if guessed < 5 else guessed # minimum 6 points possible!

is "guessed" letters or is it the number guessed?
LLMs are also probed a lot more for the limits of their knowledge. Consider the thousands of hours of peoples time that have gone into poking at the limits of the understanding of ChatGPT alone.

Imagine subjecting a random human to the same battery of conversations and judging the truthfulness of their answers.

Now, imagine doing the same to a child too young to have had many years of reinforcement of the social consequences of not clearly distinguishing fantasy from perceived truth.

I do think a human adult would (still) be likely to be overall better at distinguishing truth from fiction when replying, but I'm not at all confident that a human child would.

I think LLMs will need more reinforcement from probing the limits of their knowledge to make it easier to rely on their responses, but I also think one of the reasons people hold LLMs to the standard they do is also that they "sound" knowledgeable. If ChatGPT spoke like a 7 year old, nobody would take issue with it making a lot of stuff up. But since ChatGPT is more eloquent than most adults, it's easy to expect it to behave like a human adult. LLMs have gaps that are confusing to us because the signs we tend to go by to judge someones intelligence are not reliable with LLMs.
After reading The Greenpeace Book of the Nuclear Age, which chronicles all major nuclear incidents (up to the 1990's I think) I had two key takeaways. There are far more missing nuclear submarines than I would have ever expected, and Britain does not have the right cultural mindset for dealing with nuclear safety. Apologies if that offends anyone.
Great article on this topic: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20171213

I love the history of Theosophy — amazing, amazing story. It had such a massive influence on modern thought.

Favorite quote in the article:
“They (the middle class of the cities) glory in cheap and horrid prints made in bulk in Germany and Austria, and sometimes even rise to Ravi Varma’s pictures. The harmonium is their favorite instrument. (I live in hope that one of the earliest acts of the Swaraj government will be to ban this awful instrument).” — Nehru
If you have genuinely no idea why you know that and where you learned it, you should probably seek medical advice concerning maybe early onset dementia or some such.

There's a good argument to be made you learned about potentially dangerous insects as a child, from books aimed at children. A reasonable person would make this argument. It's also likely that you retained that information because your would-be peers who aren't around, aren't around because their ascendants inserted their genetic material in to the humanity's descent's to a lesser extent than your extant peers.

You might not be able to immediately recall where and when you learned something, and that shouldn't be equated with genuinely having no idea.
Good point, and not unheard of.
What do you mean exactly "besides math/logic"? Because logic underpins everything we think.

For example it cannot identify musical chords because despite (I presume) ample training material including explanations of how exactly this works, it cannot reasonable represent this as an abstract rigorous rule, as humans do. So I ask what is C E G and it tells me C major correctly, as it presumably appears many times throughout the training set, yet I ask F Ab Db and it does not tell me Db major, because it did not understand the rules at all.

In a sense though, this is just a logic problem.
great work!

That isn’t at all obvious from the frontpage.

You probably want to keep the design lean, so just a simple “about” in small font would help to explain.

The autoloading is also problematic on mobile/tablet but others already chipped in with solutions.
That has been possible for some time with Babel[0] and was also referenced in the old React docs[1]. But, as stated there and in the sibling comment here, it's not really suitable for production use.

> They released USB-C macbooks in 2015, 8 years ago. Clearly they had no intention of moving to USB-C on iPhones, prior to the EU ruling.

Utter nonsense, which completely ignores the historical and third-party background: the replacement of the dock connector by Lightning was a huge shift as it was very common for devices to have built-in dock connectors which became useless pins overnight (there were literally cars with dock connectors). As necessary as the transition was in the long run, it basically made apple swear to keep lightning alive for at least as long as the DC was.

And there is a clear counter-example: they've been slowly inching support in from the devices least likely to use hard-set connectors: first the 3rd gen ipad pro in 2018, then the 10th gen ipad in 2020, 6th gen mini in 2021, 5th gen Air in 2022.

> The extra few years selling cables so that you can plug your brand new Apple laptop in to your brand new Apple phone was probably a fun little profit exercise

More nonsense, apple literally doesn't want you to plug one into the other, they've been stripping wired phone-related features from macos as fast as they could be bothered to, moving them to either wireless (airdrop) or cloud.

> if not comically anti-consumer/anti-environment.

Yes indeed, the anti-consumer and anti-environment move of letting users upgrading from one iphone to the next not have to replace all their cables.
"investment banks" are also misleadingly named in my opinion. This dataset seems to stick to what the more common idea of a bank that accepts deposits and offers checking/savings accounts.
I was aware of this, but I don't think a 32 sample 4-bit wave RAM is quite good enough to make something representative :)

For the past 6 years, there has been a sustained effort by big tech to push publishers out of business in favor of influencers, so I won't be shocked if a group of "inestigative influencers" fill the gap

FTFY

I vendor everything my webpages need, better to ensure that the webpage always works as long as my server is up. Also means I can download the page and use it offline.
That sounds about right... But if we want to get to the root cause, we'd have to look at the design of the monetary system and the last decade of monetary policy.

Never in history have there been so many market oligopolies; and it coincided with a transition to a global soft money standard as global fiat currencies became increasingly more decoupled from gold.

Before, a dollar could be exchanged for a certain fixed amount of gold; this had clear and objective economic value. Nowadays, money is decoupled from any hard/objective economic value.

Today, banks issue credit proportionally to asset prices which are themselves determined by how much new credit enters the system... A vicious cycle which forces banks to keep loading new generations with more credit at a steadily increasing pace to avoid bursting bubbles.
the only thing missing is bundling CSS files. Rails has defaulted now to "pinning" javascript however, any css that maybe bundled with the package still presents an issue.
The behaviour the user wants is to open a link. The idea of displaying the email again beside the webpage is valuable, but to the user their preferred browser is more valuable. Realistically, they already have their browser open, if they do anything other than read and close the web page their browsing is now split across two browsers without rhyme or reason. Say they switch to Excel and need to switch back to the webpage to double check something, it'll immediately be "oh, this one page is open in Edge, not Chrome where I first looked".
You seem to propose a "if it quacks like a duck" scenario here (aka the Chinese Room), and applying it to people who are mistaken or acting on incorrect information.

Those people are reasoning, however rightly or wrongly, based on that wrong information. LLMs are not.
How the Michelin Guide’s Stars Affect a City’s Dining Scene
> Imagine if Microsoft banned all browsers except Edge! It would be an outrage! But we all accept that Apple does that and has for 10+ years.

They tried; with different means, but they expected the same result. That's what the antitrust case was about.

> Perhaps we are all so used to the daily monopolistic and anti-competitive behavior of Apple that we do not care any more.

While I have the same opinion as you wrt Apple behaviour, there is a difference: Apple doesn't have the market position like Microsoft did. You can function perfectly fine in society without any Apple product. That was not the case with Microsoft, they did everything they could so you had to use Microsoft system. Communicating with your bank or with government or public offices? Microsoft products were required. Apple has not such grip on the market and that makes the difference.

I tried to classify images using tensorflow and inception using a pre trained model, it was awfully slow. I asked almost everywhere for a faster and less accurate model, no answer.

I'm starting to suspect that GPU vendors are the ones selling AI.

If you think about it, software is often used by the hardware industry to increase sales, it's the law of Wirth. Seems like it's the norm now.
Ah, I missed that detail. Checking the actual article, and you are correct:

https://www.internationalscholarsjournals.com/articles/impac...
Balancing business needs and environmental responsibility in the Cloud
"Deteriorating situation" is a very broad term.

The article also points out the city placed two officers in the store.

How many more police officers and/or security guards are needed to get the level of security they want?

More specifically, why doesn't the mall have enough security guards already?

Was the number of guards removed, perhaps to cut costs? Is the mall trying to get the city pay for mall security, rather than hire additional private security?

We've seen this already, like when railroads save money by under-provisioning their own police force, then blame "far-left" policies as the primary cause for the resulting thefts. Quoting the subtitle from https://newrepublic.com/article/165146/union-pacific-package... "Police unions, the retail lobby, and other critics of criminal justice reform have seized on viral images of package theft and shoplifting to push for a rollback of California’s efforts to reduce its prison population."
> instead of having an npm frontend project

You probably still want to use a dependency manager (npm, yarn, etc) to pull in and own host your own dependencies. You don't want to pull your dependencies from an external source as that will only ever make your site less reliable.

> use es modules to handle splitting and caching the various .js files of my app

Yeah, I was surprised at how well es modules just worked when i put together this tiny repro https://idb-perf-repro.netlify.app/ (index.js imports two relative files)

> use this import maps feature so that i can [...] add the digest of the file to the filename

So you've still got build tooling and a layer of indirection. Maybe this is simpler, but you'll still need tooling to manage hashing files + creating import maps. I don't think import maps really gives you anything here, because if you're renaming all your files on deploy you may as well just update the imports as well, rather than using import map.

> Optimal file transfer - all in one js bundle, but if i have http2 then i don’t care because the overhead of multiple files is gone

Test and validate this. Does HTTP2 really remove all overhead from requesting 100s of files vs 1 large file? I don't think this is the case.

> but i think i’d like simplifying my tool chain more and using something like htmx instead.

Simplifying your toolchain by removing type safety from your views.
It's not an embedded window.
You still need a bundler because browsers will process only ~6 HTTP requests at a time, so if your code (with all dependencies) has many JS files you will be throttled by that limit real quick. HTTP2/3 makes parallel fetching more efficient over the wire but does not change the limit of max concurrency imposed by the browser.

Cairo is written in such a way that the execution of a Cairo program can be proven by a zero-knowledge proof. So it optimizes for things that are easier to prove.
Wasn't MS sued by the EU some time ago for doing something similar. Have they not learned?
The aware demostration
One unique aspect of Rust that's involved here is the ownership system. It's possible to create a library that will only ever allow one instance of `pins.d13` to exist, and once you call `into_input` that `d13` value gets consumed, so that you cannot use the `Pin<Input<Floating>, PB5>` value anymore, and is guaranteed to only have access to that pin via the `Pin<Output, PB5>` value.

In C++, there's no possibility of guaranteeing that a consumed value is not re-used in the same ergonomic way using the type system. I'd imagine you can still implement something like this in C++ with some kind of move semantics and asserts, but it will be a run time error and not a statically checked error.

I'd settle for a poor fascimillie, and argue strongly against human-like.

Human-like would be, let's say, a Cylon skin-job. ChatGPT is just a fraking toaster, at best.
I wouldn't say they would have all the advantages of a reserve currency. They will still have to find a way transform the foreign currency they accumulate into useful stuff. I think their primary concern is avoiding the dollar, since they quite a big exposure to it, and after they have seen what happened to Russia, their not too keen on maintaining the status quo.
It's absolutely cargo cult nonsense and judging by the surrounding comments I'm SO glad we've all finally decided to stop pretending like it isn't.
Virginia Tech recently notified everyone that they are ditching Gmail in favor of outlook because of large cost increases coming. Google seems to be going backward in that regard:

“ A key factor in the decision was cost. Under the new Google license model, an equivalent amount of Google cloud storage would cost more than seven times what it will cost the university on the Microsoft platform.”

My understanding is that Backtracking isn't needed, sampling the network token at a time gives you the expected distribution over the token sequences too--

E.g. if you were to brute force expand out to depth "I'm sorry I don't know" and evaluate its probably relatively to all other strings you'd find that the probability of it is the same as you got sampling symbol at a time (though this isn't true if you do anything funny with your sampling).

The problem is actually that the distribution isn't the one you want, as it doesn't say I don't know enough. It's easy enough to graft on a beam search, just expand out every possibility, keep the best N and keep expanding them. But AFAIK it doesn't help.

Maybe this is less true for models which have been through RLHF, though.

Seems kinda tricky to train the right behavior here. Even if the input data contained "I don't know" (surely the internet doesn't, it's full of all us fking know it alls), it would contain I don't knows relative to the writer and not the model. So trying to push for it naively you just end up with models that say they don't know but when you ask them the same question in ROT13 they answer correctly. :P

Seems tricky for humans to learn too. Small children are fluent with english long before they're fluent in giving truthful responses. :)
If you are allocating zeroed space and then writing a whole page quickly, then you may well avoid a read. And doing this under extreme memory pressure will indeed cause the page to be written to disk while only partly written by user code, and it will need to be read back in. Reducing memory pressure is always good.

I would expect quite a bit better performance if you actually write a entire pages using pwrite(2) or the io_uring equivalent, though.

Messing with fallocate on a per-page basis is asking for trouble. It changes file metadata, and I expect that to hurt performance.
I don't have an extensive list, but Apple preferring their own apps on iOS is not hyperbole and evident in lots of places.

Two examples: In "Find My" their is a "navigate" button for your various things, this will always use Apple Maps instead of giving you the choice. Same with the tapping the "address" field in your contacts list.

And if you don't have Apple Maps installed, does it give you any options? No, instead it'll ask you if you want to install Apple Maps...
Are there ways to make this tolerable with policy settings or something?
