Diplomacy is a great game, all logic and communication. Played with 2 to 7 players. Setting is pre WW 1. Resources are simple, there are about 30 resource cities. You need one resource for each army / navy you have.

Back in the day there was a VERY active play by mail (postal) community. Community covered Europe and North America.

Action:

1) Diplomacy phase - talk / write to each other. In the modern Whatsapp age, I suspect this might bring turns down to one a day.

2) Order phase - write and submit orders to GM.

3) Resolution phase - GM handles this and provides results

4) Build / delete phase - every other turn - write out orders for building if you gain resource, delete if you lost. - GM takes and publishes

You would want to be in the same game with your dad so you can plan strategy.

Making videos taking time away from actually making stuff and making the projects take 10X longer. So I stopped.

Check out Kenji Lopez-Alt [1]. He’s an award-winning chef who makes cooking videos by strapping a GoPro to his head and going to work in his home kitchen. He has basically none of the fancy production you see on cooking TV shows. Yet his videos are very popular because he’s a great chef and he tells you the why in addition to the what and how.

I’m pretty sure he’s made his setup just about as close to optimal as possible in terms of minimizing the time he spends on the video production part while still looking great. I think his one bit of fancy production is that he has a nice spot by the window to set a cooked dish for his thumbnail photograph. I think a bunch of his cooking videos also do double duty to supply photographs for his cookbooks, but that’s unnecessary for the vast majority of video creators.

This, is just deeply untrue. Do you really think everybody working on compilers and linkers are deeply ignorant? I can easily saturate my 64 GB RAM home setup during a compile.
Too late to edit my earlier reply, but I remembered what happened - for my newspaper puzzle, only 9 letter words are possible answers, and all 9 letter word products fit in an int64. Then in C# it is faster, casual runs seem to knock 20-25% off the runtime (~0.035 seconds vs ~0.045 seconds), but in PowerShell it is slower.

(I'm curious,if it would be possible to shuffle the primes around to bring all words in my full wordlist down to UInt64; the highest is 2810298024552111657086849344270208275 - microspectrophotometries which is some quadrillion times too big. Rearranging the by letter frequency in the wordlist brings it down to 24474928756352445162715195352080 - electroencephalographically which is still a trillion times too big, so I doubt it).
Copyright is designed for an industrial content creation context, and it does not have the flexibility it needs to avoid the absurd results it reaches as it's been extended outside of that context.

In this case, it's the same reason that $BLOCKBUSTER_FILM needs to license $HIT_POP_SONG as the montage or mood-setting music for part of their film. It's possible that there's a viable fair use defense in this case, but defending it would likely cost several orders of magnitude more than the lifetime revenue of the video, and to be frank, even the fair use defense ultimately seems weak to me.
I see lots of griping in thread, but it seems business as usual in the countries where registration is required.

https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/sim-card-regist...

> The majority of national governments (around 160) require mandatory SIM-card registration, which means you need your real name and personal details to sign up for phone service. And just under 20 of these also require biometrics, e.g. your fingerprints or a facial scan, with eight more countries in the process of implementing such requirements.

The biometrics part is unnerving to be sure, but anonymous SIMs or DIDs are incompatible with fraud and spam fighting efforts. If you terminate bad actors, they’ll just keep spinning up more resources.
While I'm in the more alarmist camp when it comes to AI, these arguments surprised me a bit. This time it isn't "will somebody think of the children" but rather "won't someone think of the women who aren’t white". The argumentation then lays the blame at corporations (i.c. Google) for not preventing actual harm that happens today. While discrimination is undeniable, and it is an actual source of harm, the reasoning seems rather generic and can be applied to anything corporate and is more politically inspired than the other arguments against AI.
Y’all is coming so you best be ready for the second person plural.
Yeah, but likely there’s some cycle of “there’s lots of guards scaring away campers so no one camps, guards get lazy and it’s empty so good for camping”
Does anyone have any examples of promoting to feed such a large amount of tokens? For example, would you use something like “I am going to send you an entire codebase, with the filename and path, followed by the file content. Here is the first of 239 files: …”
It’s not obvious to me that only native speakers should have the right to pronounce on linguistic changes or the aptness of linguistic use. Some possible arguments, and responses:

1. Non-native speakers lack the competence necessary to make such pronouncements.

It’s false to deny that many non-native speakers acquire near-native competence. So if we think that ordinary native speakers have the right to pronounce on these questions, at least some particularly skilled non-native speakers should too. Perhaps the claim then is that there’s a high standard that only a few native speakers and no non-native speakers reach. It’s unclear what would motivate that view; given that language is something we all use, it is doubtful that e.g. the perspicacity of a particular construction should only be commented upon by the most skilled speakers.

2. Native speakers’ claims to influence languages should have priority over those of non-native speakers.

We might simply view this as obvious, in which case there’s something of a conflict of interest. I think the more plausible argument is grounded in the use of language. Someone who never uses French will not really have particularly important opinions on its use. The problem here is that it’s unclear why native speakers’ intuitions are really more important. The English language is surely just as important to a Nigerian civil servant who operates nearly entirely in English as it is to one in Whitehall. The difference between non-native speakers and native speakers don’t seem relevant unless we take being a native speaker per se to be of import.
Seriously? Social creatures? That BS again? Not all of us are. Don't be so shortsighted. I don't need nor do I want any added socialization. Spare me any water cooler talk, overheard gossip, and any anecdotal opinion on the weather because I really, really don't care. I would much rather do what I am hired to do. When I want to socialize, I'll do that on my own time and on my own terms without being forced or coerced into something that is "good for everyone" even when it clearly is not. I am NOT a social creature and I am NOT the only one.

Guns don't kill people, at least tightly controlled guns. If they do, then the killer was whoever controls it. And not just corporations. Intelligence agencies, non-tech corporations, actors with enough money and so on.

The not-so-tightly controlled ones, at least in the hands of individuals not in a position of power or influence, may run into the risk of becoming illegal in a way or another. The system will always try to get into an artificial scarcity position.

I live in a suburb. There's a huge park in safe walking distance where they can explore in the woods, fish in the pond, play on the multiple playgrounds, play sports in the baseball or softball or soccer fields or half court basketball court. Or do any other kind of activity in the big field.

Or they can hop on the bike trails and head to the library or recreation center or the gymnastics center.

If they're old enough there's also bus lines right outside my door that connect them to the largest light rail deployment in the hemisphere.

There's also all the space for indoor activities if they'd like, they don't need to go anywhere to partake in a lot of different activities at home. Because, we've got space for crafts and a garage and yard.

Yea. It blows my mind when people bring out the "80% of people live in cities" statistic because they see something that says 80% of people live in "urban" areas.

I did a deep dive once to see what the government considers "urban" and found that the place I used to live was considered "urban."

This is the main "town." The rest of the town/county is just houses, apartments and a "town center" which is just a ton of stores, restaurants, entertainment, etc.

I suppose though, because its not truly "rural" its counted as "urban."
I am becoming somewhat of a broken record, but sigh..

To predict the next token you must reason or have some process that approximates it.

Good luck doing that with any kind of accuracy if you lack intelligence of any kind.

Language is a distraction. These things reason (badly, atm). It is totally unclear how far this goes. It could fizzle out, it could become our overlord.
I'm not talking about people who are unfamiliar with the term xerox, meaning 'photocopy' (which has been in use this way for decades.) I'm talking about people who object to the use of this term because the Xerox company hates it (they could in principle lose their trademark because of it, but that's not my problem.)

There is no singularity if we get there first.
Of course if you’re not a signer and aren’t interested in singing then the aesthetic quality of singing shouldn’t be scored, and hopefully they were also teaching you a little bit about how to sing, or maybe you just got unlucky (sometimes there are crappy teachers, bad exams, unfair situations, it does happen unfortunately). Singing really is a very useful skill to have when playing instruments or teaching music though. I wasn’t interesting in signing when I was younger, but now I wish I’d spent more time learning how and didn’t have to hide in private to be comfortable singing. It does something very interesting to sing & play at the same time, it’s hard but I think it makes playing the instrument easier.

There are some problems with complaining you’ll never use a certain skill teachers are trying to teach. Specifically, you don’t know in advance that you will never need it professionally. More generally and more importantly, the whole point of a university education is to give the student a broad base foundation in the subject, to teach you more than a small set of specific interests, and more than is required for a specific job. It is intentionally designed not to be strictly vocational training, it is not an apprenticeship.

I made this mistake when I was young, and complained in a math class, joking loudly and publicly, that the teacher was wasting our collective time forcing us to learn esoteric things we’d never use. I don’t remember what it was exactly, I think maybe matrix determinants, and the joke’s on me because I use determinants and everything else the teacher was teaching in my job professionally.

BTW, I work in chip design and all the hardware people know and use sorting algorithms, and not just the kind you learn in CS 101, they are experts in parallel sorting algorithms. Put the death of Moore’s law on top and the fact that algorithms and efficiency and power consumption are becoming more important every day. These foundations that students assume aren’t relevant to the future actually are important to their future prospects, they just don’t know it yet.
I think most people here assume that social isolation is the result of things like social media or smart phones. I think it has much more to do with urban planning. The street used to be a place where children play, people "loitered", and people met new people and made memories. Now it is just a place where we sit in traffic because everything is so spread out that we can't walk anywhere. We don't meet our neighbors because we all leave through the garage, surrounded by 2 tons of metal.
Prepositions combine with verbs to form phrasal verbs, and it's possible for phrasal verbs to have their own semantics that is removed from the base verb.

For instance, "get in" or "get up" are different verbs from "get".

It's also possible for a participial adjective (formed by "to be" + participle + preposition) to be an idiom.

An example of this is "to be heard of" which means to be known or recognized. This has distinct semantics of its own, not simply coming from the phrasal "to hear of". You can be heard of, or have heard of.

"to be comprised of" is the same kind of adjective, which happens not to be derived from a "to comprise of" verb.

It's not necessary for a "V of" verb to actually exist in order for "be V of" to exist, and to have semantics distinct from V.

OK, but I was thinking about artificial vision algorithms. How can you differ one tank from the other? I'm aware of self-guiding weapons oriented through infrared or radar.

I own one. Text in games and their menus is a fuzzy mess. The graphics in general are a fuzzy mess. It's barely tolerable for games, it never would have occurred to me to try programming with it. You must have some mutation that allows your brain to upscale blurry text better than I can.
I think this is the split discussed in the article. About 20% of the people would rather live in cities. Work From Home is giving us the freedom to choose where to live, and I don't see how it's anything but an absolute win.

I've lived in a 'zoomtown' for the last four years. It's great. My area isn't walkable, but it is bikeable. When I leave my house, there's a 50/50 chance I'm on my bike instead of in my car. I have more privacy and quiet working than I had in offices, or in my urban core apartments. Peak traffic sucks, but it's not as bad as peak traffic in a city. I can afford something like 6x the space compared to SF/SEA/NYC.

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention the downsides I have experienced in zoomtown.

* Local government is corrupt, but without a city paper no one notices or cares. I know urban cities have corrupt local governments too, but the looting and shilling is more blatant here. No one seems to care or be informed on local issues.

* All of my flights have a layover now.

* Limited cultural opportunities.

* Everything is getting slightly worse as more remote workers are moving here.

* Medical care was notably better in the city, and I have limited access to some specialist.
The (expected) face-value meaning of "comprised of" is usually best substituted by "part of": All Gaul comprises three parts -> Three parts are comprised of all Gaul.
FYI, 27 times per hour is basically nothing. With GPT4 over the API, I make 2-3 completion requests a minute, for 30-60 minutes at a time, when building an LLM app. This happens for 3-4 hours per day.

At the upper bound, this would be $2 * 3 * 60 * 4 = $1440 a day.

Thankfully, I am using retriever-augmentation and context stuffing into the base 4k model, so costs are manageable.

The 32k context model cannot be deployed into a production app at this pricing as a more capable drop-in replacement for shorter-context models.
I think it's a result of how the media relegates different sectors of people into different "propaganda" zones. A lot of people like to watch TV. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary for them to spend more time with the TV than with another human being. Others probably don't have the time to watch any TV. The people online on the internet clearly fall into a niche of "wanting", where they're asking for entertainment but none can give them any, so they invent some for their own selves. Now that there's a proper contender for TV in this space, this will become a regular occurrence.

Note: I'm not stating that people online don't watch TV at all -- just that they don't derive the same sort of enjoyment from it that normal people do.
For example, covid wreaks havoc in the gut which might cause tilt towards bacteria producing ammonia which then leaks to blood stream, causing the brain fog. Supplementing prebiotics like lactulose can help to suppress this effect.

Where I'm struggling at the moment is that I know about those but my local hardware is a bit limited and I haven't figured out how the dots connect between running those local interfaces against (affordable) rented GPU servers. The info I can find assumes you're running everything locally.

For example, I know HuggingFace provides inference endpoints, but I haven't found information for how to connect Oobabooga to those endpoints. The information's probably out there. I just haven't found it yet.

I dislike how LLMs are causing lay people to recapitulate the debates about private language that have been had in the philosophy of language community. At first I was so excited that people were talking about one of my favorite topics (finally! My niche interest! People care!) but it became clear that people were doing way more talking than reading and thinking, so the conversations are typically not that great.

If you thought that this blog post had provocative ideas, you might be interested in reading some of Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy of language or Roy Harris's work on integrationist linguistics. These ideas have been debated for a long time.
"Wicked" to mean "good" is slang. So is "cool", used in that sense. Slang is not encyclopaedic language.
That's kind of the point. There's a pretty long history of humans talking to trees, rivers, tombstones, cool looking mountains, and household shrines. We'll anthropomorphize anything.

This is not a bad thing, but it's a very predictable thing. We're making inanimate objects simulate talking to you, and we're going to see consciousness when it's not there.
What I meant is that I learned a lot watching senior members of the team interact. I was like a fly on the wall during their discussions just because I happened to be sitting near their desks when the discussion started. Or when there was an outage, I could overhear how they were debugging the issue.

Also, I've run a remote work company over the pandemic. Maybe you don't feel working remotely is different, but many, many people feel more comfortable approaching someone in person vs. online. In person, you can look at someone, see if they're busy, and, if not, approach to start a conversation. Online, you can never tell if someone is available. There is always an element of rejection when it comes to approaching someone online.
AI's aren't the AIs. The artificial intelligences with non-human motives are the non-human legal persons: corporations themselves. They've already done a lot of damage to society. Corporate persons should not have the same rights as human persons.
The attitude control (Russian) modules and energy generation (USA) modules are getting very old, and showing signs of their age more every day. We've accomplished the mission of the ISS many times over, and to keep it aloft would essentially mean building a new one - exactly what they're doing with the Artemis Gateway. It's had a great run, and I'm among many who will be devastated when they finally deorbit it, but it's necessary at this point.
Don't utilize comprised.
I haven't tried this myself, but it is my understanding that finetuning does not work well in practice as a way of acquiring new knowledge.

There may be a middle ground between these two approaches though. If every query used the same prompt prefix (because you only update the codebase + docs occasionally) then you could put it into the model once and cache the keys and values from the attention heads. I wonder if OpenAI does this with whatever prefix they use for ChatGPT?
