Which means you cant identify them, which makes them unidentified, regardless of why.

Bots seem to be seasonal creatures. Some months you won't see any. And then some months you'll see four per submission. I'd just downvote and reconvene when it seems to be a substantial issue.

As for GPT, the bots you usually see on HN are just as easily written by humans. GPT makes sense for scale, but it's not very interesting when bots are posting at such low volume, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the case nor does it really change anything.
It is true because the discrete world has the potential for more fine structure.

As an example showing that it is true, read https://math.stackexchange.com/a/362840/6708 explaining how it is possible that the real numbers are complete (all first order statements about them are either provably true or false) while the integers are famously incomplete (no set of axioms can prove everything about them).

ALL of the philosophically tricky notions that you list are only tricky when you mix in discrete notions like "integers" in your construction. And given that discrete mathematics gives us things like the Halting problem and incompleteness WITHOUT continuity being involved, shows that it is discrete mathematics that is harder.
Multiversal Music Group Saved the World from the AI Apocalypse

Yeah my retort about the cricket bat came from someone with a postgrad in philosophy from a top British University. I reckon Wittgenstein would have been tickled by it.

Plus with contemporary metaphysical interest in panpsychism, then "what is it like to be a cricket bat?" isn't even a moot question.

On first look this seems to blow the current llama based models out of the water including the 30B ones.

The Past, Present and Future of LlamaIndex
You're not being hypocritical - you're simply pointing out where conflicts of interest tend to pop up, because you've probably seen such conflicts first hand in your line of work.

Regulators are humans too, and it's hogwash to think that they aren't susceptible to the same corrupting forces that the rest of us are. In fact, they are probably even more susceptible to corruption - seeing that they are generally underpaid and overworked. An underhanded in-passing comment like "hey, if you help us pass this audit, we'll make sure it's worth your efforts.... by the way there is an opening at our company that could be filled by someone with your skillset. Oh yeah it also pays 4x what you're making now. Think about it."
This is our first interview series and I couldn’t have asked for a better guest other than Jerry Leu, the creator of LlamaIndex. LlamaIndex is a framework that helps you connect Large Language Models with your own data. This is something that opens up a wide range of possibilities that was not possible before. Things like building customer service bots to answer customer queries based on documentation, extracting insights from the huge amount of unstructured data in companies, paring through any source of information like books, videos, podcasts etc thereby accelerating your leanings and many more. And this is reflected in the library's growth rates too. Over the last few months, this framework has been growing at a rate of 200% and does not seem like stopping anytime soon.

This is why I was super excited to talk with Jerry and together we discussed how the project got started, the core concepts behind the framework, the mental models to help you wrap your head around LLMs and augment them with your own data, the teams vision for the project and how you can help out and join the movement!
So if passkey is just yet another way to log in, then all the security aspects are moot, no? The attacker could still attack the other login methods. E.g., even if the passkey is a secure surface, it does not replace the insecure attack surfaces.

Amnesty International operates consistently using a framework of international laws of war and human rights standards, applying them equally to all countries.

Or at least that's their goal, certainly sometimes they have failed, because of biases. Is this one of those times?

The article you posted says that Amnesty says international laws and standards of war say you should not put military bases in residential areas. Have they been consistent at calling this out for all countries? I think so? Are these in fact standards under international human rights laws? I think so?

So this is not a departure for how Amnesty usually operates.

People often think that such laws and standards ought not to apply to the side "in the right"; or that they ought not to apply when the side in the right needs to violate them in order to win. Or that a given standard is wrong and should not be considered part of international law and human rights standard. Or you can think that the framework of international law is unrealistic and pointless and isn't even the right framework. In general, or in this case.

Some of these may be reasonable positions. But Amnesty has always operated from that framework, and has consistently critisized any side that puts military equipment in residential areas.

So, it's possible they made a mistake here in some way, but it's in a way that is pretty consistent with how they have behaved for decades and how they do things. So I don't see any reason to say they have "morphed", and that they are now "partisan" in a way they weren't before. Their theory is that they *avoid* being partisan by critiquing both sides of a military conflict to the same standard, you can disagree with this stance, but I don't see any reason to think they acted from "partisan" motivation rather than from trying to stick to their usual way of doing things. The complaint seems to be that some people wanted them to be partisan on the part of Ukraine (which may be reasonable), while they tried to apply same standards to Ukraine and Russia. There is no "morphing", this is what they do. You can think what they do is the totally wrong approach, for any number of reasons -- but it's not new.
Retraining takes time and money. People are not always easy to retrain. People will be unhappy about any pay cuts. Sometimes it is best to let them go.

CEO often cannot predict exactly what the economy will do and what the clients will do. Their decisions can be based on data but it doesn't mean they can predict the future.

I’d like to think that alone doesn’t instantaneously kill a product for its users as long as they are are satisfied with its current functionality.

I know some platforms like Apple choose to rush all its users and developers through a compatibility extinction event every decade, with smaller breaking API changes happening even more often.

But many pieces of i386 Windows software 25 years old still work fine today, as long as it isn’t dependent on a cloud backend. So OP could have 25 more years of it working fine, or it could be worst case Mac software which will die in a year or so when Apple pulls the plug on Intel and demands native ARM only.

> Obviously that explanation is a gross oversimplification of what champagne flavor is, but could result in a novel way to evaluate/taste a glass of champagne by looking for the quality of bubble chains in it

It is not novel, it’s part of how champagne is tasted. It includes the size of the bubbles, their quantity, how close they are to each other in a chain. Fancy glasses are etched so the chains form some patterns for visual interest.
Shower Thoughts: The Power of Daydreaming and the Science Behind It
I'd be a lot more interested in this if there was a way to get a decent keyboard on it, i.e. one with t-shaped arrow keys, instead of this terrible bar-shaped one. I ended up with some work Macbooks when they switched to bar-shaped and they were _miserable_ to use. I had to add some tape on the left and right keys just to get some tactile feedback about where my fingers had to end up. It's an absolute dealbreaker for me these days, pretty much no matter how great everything else about the laptop may be.

Kinda doubt it's that great for fingerprinting. Look at something like WebGL report and any semi-modern system will support everything. "Computer was made in the last 10 years" isn't that useful. Even knowing the exact GPU... we're talking maybe 5 major vendors? Seems like if you really care for anonymity you need a vpn and a special browser at this point anyway.
Oh man. Smalltalk has a huge learning curve. Of course, once you master a few dozen concepts you can just crank out the applications.

I once was paid real money to develop in VA Smalltalk. It was a fun language. Dave Ungar and Dan Ingalls said a few things that made me think they planned at one point to add spitbol-esque features to Smalltalk. And Alan Kay once quipped something about wishing he had seen scheme before writing smalltalk grammar.

For better or worse, bits of Smalltalk live on in Java and Ruby and bits of Scheme can be found in JavaScript if you look hard enough. Where did Icon and Spit/Sno-bol wind up? Alas.

This chunking is also a big part of why singing the alphabet helps remember it, imo. There’s natural divisions in both the melody and the rhythm.
Not sure if this is a snarky gotcha, but is hardly worth sleeping on considering that USA isn't on a extremely healthy economic spot right now, and be sure shareholders aren't inconvincing themselves anytime soon to improve the situation. It really feels like people is suddenly trusting too much the intentions of those companies owning both these models AND the hardware is able to run on, and also can operate them at a much higher scale than anyone else could dream of.
I would say practice but I think there's more to it.

For some initial numbers one might rely on memory but after a certain value we "calculate" the value and then its name automatically from small set of names for each part of a number's value.

In the case of alphabets there is no obvious sequence of alphabet in both directions. We might as well learn the alphabet in qwerty order without impacting its utility.

So, its difficult to recite the alphabet in any order other than the ones we memorized.

> You say it as if it was a good thing. It's not. APL, J, and K would reign supreme over all programming if brevity and conciseness were all that good for people actually understanding what the heck is happening.

On the flip side, try reading all your programs in assembly.

Verbosity is nice up to a point. When I look at the math I did for physics, solving a problem could take 3 pages. If we go with the GGP's approach, it would take perhaps 15-20 pages. Almost everyone would grok it quicker with those 3 pages than trying to read a more verbose 15.

It's actually why some prefer functional programming. Which is easier to understand:

"Take these student papers, and split them into two groups based on whether the student's name begins in a vowel or not."

OR

"Create two groups. Call them vowels and consonants. Take the first paper. If it begins with a vowel, put it in the vowel group. Otherwise put it in the consonant group. Once done with that paper, repeat the steps with the next paper. Keep repeating till there are no papers left."

And I won't even bother describing how one would do it in C (have a counter variable, at the end of each iteration explicitly check for termination, etc).

The difference between math formalism and verbosity is analogous to the difference between the two descriptions above. At some point, more verbosity lets you see the fine details at the expense of the big picture.

> It's trivial to find people for whom the effort needed to understand the terminology or syntax was too big of a barrier to entry.

It's almost impossible to find someone who can do, say Griffiths level electromagnetics or quantum mechanics without that formalism. Your refrain pops up all the time on HN, but I have yet to see someone do even undergrad level physics in any of the alternatives suggested.
Just a perspective to share from someone trying to buy property for a small business(since most people think about it from a residential POV).

Unlike residential mortgages, corporate loans are not fixed interest rates. They are all adjustable. What in 2020 seems financially sound, becomes impossible a few years later.

I can't imagine how other companies do this, do you just make sure your business can handle 12% interest rates just incase a politician decides to give away free money for a few years?

I come from (real) engineering, so everything is just math to me. However the adjustable interest rates is quite a wrench. Do I need to assume a 15% fed reserve interest rate + the 2-4% the bank piles on? Heck, 15% might be low, you never know.

I imagine that all businesses would benefit from having some long term certainty. Maybe mid/large companies can raise money or get fixed loans, but I'm at the point where I need to use my feelings(ewwww) to make a decision.

You seem to be under the false impression that passkey databases are stored completely unencrypted and unprotected on disk or in the cloud. Obviously those details are implementation-dependent, but I don't know of any passkey implementation that works that way.

Let's take Apple's implementation as an example (since that was the one I could most easily find information on). Their implementation stores passkeys in the iCloud keychain[1], which is end-to-end encrypted[2].

I also think it was invaluable that the iPhone app system was heavily secured (app approvals/reviews/restrictions) and or closed in the early years. Consumers were coming from a terrible Windows stretch where viruses plagued the mass PC systems connected to the Internet. They mostly didn't have to worry about that while learning how to best utilize the iPhone in their day to day lives. Apple made several excellent pro-consumer choices that many other companies would not have (including squeezing the telecom companies; which at the time, Apple & Co were nowhere near the size they are now, pushing around big telecom was no small feat).
> And the pictures of UFOs that are clearly visible are rapidly dismissed as CGI.

The UFO hoaxers should probably spend some more time learning how to use Blender well. The most compelling videos are the real videos of LIZ objects. The videos which show anything clearly are uniformly laughably bad. I challenge you to link some videos that depict an apparent alien craft clearly which aren't obviously fake.
That was news for me, too. I thought they were a much smaller operation. I always thought I was rooting for the underdog vs Unreal, but apparently they're the giant.
Do they have a strong type system? Maybe I just haven't gotten to that. My issue is that, there doesn't seem to be any rules for "evaluating" a proof to see if it is valid. Everything seems subjective? Maybe I'm just missing something. But coming from programming, I'm obviously used to a situation where I can put my code through a mechanical evaluator which will tell me if it works. Or at least, will tell me if the syntax is right!
Some of them. A bit less than half of loans at Capital One are more than 5 years, for instance. (I'm just overly familiar with that company.) But a 6 year loan from June 2021 is still almost 1/3 paid off.

SparseGPT-for-LLaMA[0] exists. Pruning more than 30% of weights of 30B starts to show significant perplexity losses. 50% is a total disaster, while it was not for OPT or BLOOM. So your intuition seems to be good here.

In what sense is Metal descendent from PostScript? The comparison is anything but perfect: they're practically polar opposites.

Metal isn't a text based programming language like PostScript, and it has a completely different graphics model.

PostScript isn't pixel oriented, or 3d oriented, and Metal doesn't have a stencil/paint graphics model or text rendering.

They're totally different things, by totally different people and organizations.

Metal uses SPIR-V binary byte code, which is nothing like PostScript, a stack based high level polymorphic cross between Lisp or Forth, and a descendent of Interpres, JaM, and Design System.

As programming languages go, and as imaging models go, PostScript and Metal are at completely different ends of the spectrum.

SVG, like PDF, is the PostScript stencil/paint imaging mode, without the Turing complete programming language, but expressed as XML, with some CSS thrown in. And some implementation of SVG even let you define event handlers in JavaScript, but Metal sure doesn't let you do that. And to top it off, SVG is "object oriented" (i.e. a DOM) while Metal is "immediate mode" (i.e. an API). They couldn't be more different.

Since your facts are wrong, and you're throwing around insults like "ugly prejudices" and "trivial and nonsensical" and "ridiculous" and "people who don't know things" and "I've touched a nerve" and "I find it ugly", then it's a good thing that you're "leaving the convo", because you haven't contributed anything but misinformation and insults.
