Thanks for that. I have shut off public access to that endpoint and, after reading your post 38 minutes after you posted it, had immediately shut off all access to the API while I was looking into it.

It was something I was debating before launching because of something Tom Christie mentioned below, and I probably misread it.

> In many cases I think it's a shame that folks would choose to disable the browsable API in any case, as it's a big aid to any developers working on the API, and it doesn't give them more permissions that they would otherwise have. I can see that there might be business reasons for doing so in some cases, but generally I'd consider it a huge asset. Although, in some cases there may be details shown (like the names of custom actions) that a non-public API may not want to expose.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11898065/how-to-disable-...

In the spirit of openness and transparency, I thought it would be a good gesture to open up the API for people to poke around, but I see your point and have turned off that endpoint.

To be fair though, adding a remarq does show your full name to the public, because if you are willing to defend your marq, you should be willing to do it with your real name. The marqt switches, however, only show user handle.

In order to sign up, you only provide three things: full name, username, and email. That endpoint did allow you to see email, so I shut that off. But the other two – full name and username – would be part of any public profile.
It isnt a shitty argument - do you think that a permissive license supersedes security clearances?

I find it powerfully frustrating to see these sort of reactions where people act like the very first thing they can think of that might require nuance is this fatal flaw, or that even a robust critique represents some death blow. Critical feedback improves projects so it is bewildering to me to see people treat it as the last word.

How could OP fail to mention media server?

> Running a web server to serve that page and a few other random pages.

Dull. Not just any web server, with Apache 2.4 already installed by default, once httpd.conf is configured, in particular for directory listings and with softlinks to directories with proper permissions, and once the server is started, macOS serves media, i.e. pictures, music and video files that's just sitting in folders on the filesystem, no web development necessary. I never understood the need for dedicated media server software when Apache2 (Web Sharing) has done it so effortlessly since Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah; it has always just been there.
I have no power to improve public schools on a timeline where it helps my kids (it will take years, if not decades, to move the needle on outcomes from improving public education institutions; politics, funding, internal systems in school systems and schools themselves).

StarCoder: A State-of-the-Art LLM for Code
I got the chance to try Langchain as part of a hiring process. I was already having my eye on it for a personal projects though.

The moment I tried it and went through the docs, the entire abstraction feels weird for me. I know a bit here and there about LLM, but Langchain make me feels like Im learning something entirely new.

How agent and tools work and how to write one wasnt straightforward from the docs, and the idea of having an AI attach itself to an eval or writing its own error/hallucination-prone API request based on a docs doesnt give me a lot of confidence.

The hiring assignment specifically mentioned to use Langchain thought, so I did. But just as a glorified abstraction to call GPT and parses the NL output as JSON.

I did the actual API call, post-processing, etc. manually. Which I have granular control over it. Also cheaper in terms of token usages. You could say I ended writing my own agent/tool that doesnt exactly match Langchain specifications but it works.

I guess Langchain had its use case. But it feels pretty weird to use for me.
That is incredible! If this project actually went into production, we would be living in a very different world right now...
>Show me your pure Clojure production grade database drivers

Depends what you mean by "database driver", but what disqualifies XTDB or Datomic, both of which have use outside of Clojure yet are implemented entirely in Clojure with the exception of the Java wrappers so you can use them naturally within Java or Kotlin?

Even then, talking about "pure Clojure" is a non-starter because Clojure is not a self-hosted language (yes, Java is self-hosted if you consider Jikes RVM, a JVM implementation in pure Java). Even if Java ecosystem were to dwindle, people can rely on the JavaScript, .NET, or Dart ecosystems thanks to ClojureScript, ClojureCLR, and ClojureDart existing.

I use ClojureScript daily and am not really affected by what happens in Java land. With that said, I always welcome improvements to the JVM, because I actually like the Java ecosystem; it's the only one that doesn't make me split hairs...despite the dreaded module system.

GoatBots has an EV calculator for MTGO payouts: https://www.goatbots.com/event-calculator

One league takes about 1.5-2 hours to play, a challenge 5-8 hours depending on amount of players. 1 tix = $0.90, so you can see how hard it is to make a living.

I think there's only like 3-4,000 of us that play mtgo still, so the level of play is much higher than Arena (or even your average local FNM)
Signatures are carefully protected and used for targeting.

If you disclose everything about how a targeting system or sensor system operates, it becomes easier to defeat.

But I think there’s a happy medium where the framework and general missile/sensor code is disclosed — but truly critical information like the sonar signature of enemy submarines is protected.
Thanks for the thoughts! I've deployed a few meta models that act like you're describing for second stage predictions, but for fuzzy task definitions have actually seen similar luck with having GPT explicitly explain its rational and then force it to choose a true/false rating. My payloads often end up looking like:

class Payload:
reasoning: str = Field(description="Why this value might be true or false),
answer: bool

Since it's autoregressive I imagine the schema helps to define the universe of what it's supposed to do, then the decoder attention when it's filling the `answer` can look back on the reasoning and weigh the sentiment internally. I imagine the accuracy specifics depend a lot on the end deployment here.

I find this article to be embarrassingly bad. Just find metro areas and compare neighborhoods and observe density levels, and see the effect on price.

The author clearly has an agenda and basically wrote the article around it. Why all the conjecture?

I was bored so I did a very crude estimate.

Houston has 982,694 homes according to the census data in 665 square miles.

Austin has 426,899 homes in 271 square miles.

So Austin is denser and more expensive. To me this makes sense. Denser areas are more popular, and popularity results in high income people coming in and biding up prices. This is why there are no dense areas that are cheap.

"We should have to, though, because of freedom of speech. Graphic pornographic content is a different animal legally. Though I would suggest the parent poster avoid walking down the dead-end street clearly marked "pornhub"."

Why should it be. You are claiming one thing falls under the general "freedom of speech", I assume you mean the 1st admendment, but then you call pornography different but cite the law.

Why is pornography wrong? Why is it worse than hate speech? How does it harm you directly? Hate speech can make people feel unsafe, uncomfortable, and can cause stress but it's allowed.

Imagine you walked down the street and two people were just openly having sex, how does that harm you, how does that harm your family? Maybe I should ask, is that harm worse than hate speech?

Freedom of speech is just one part of the 1st amendment, there's also freedom of expression.

The "primary" way doesn't really matter if a user checks their app and sees that it was verified.

Unless the UI makes it clear it was verified with "non-primary" methods so users can be cautious, any method of verification is essentially "primary" from the user POV.
This is a decent exploration of the third-worst possible outcome of AI, but it's a bizarre dismissal of the second-worst, even though he explains the mechanism himself:

> The doomsday scenario is not a manufacturing A.I. transforming the entire planet into paper clips, as one famous thought experiment has imagined. It’s A.I.-supercharged corporations destroying the environment and the working class in their pursuit of shareholder value.

Well, yes. If the AI is better than human it will be put in charge of corporations, and will be given the goal of maximizing shareholder value. Since those shareholders can be corporations, there's no reason why this has to involve human preference at any point. As a single-minded optimizer indifferent to humans, it would need to be successfully restrained in order to be merely oppressive - by default, it's a Paperclipper.

Scott Alexander's argument is correct. 'Building more' likely means building outwards. This means the existing expensive , dense metro areas remain expensive due to scarcity, demand ,and good paying jobs. The newer construction is cheaper but not as desirable. If single family homes were replaced with dense, ugly condos then maybe he would be wrong.

> Are we on a submission about language? Why are you guys talking about race-based admissions

My mistake. I'm also discussing the anti SAT/ACT and anti-MCAT movement on parenting forums and I open posts in new tabs to respond to them and forgot which thread was which.

The reasons being given for dropping the standardized tests are to help minorities despite that tests generally end up being a positive for disadvantaged people, not a burden. That's exactly where I was going with that "anti"-racist racist teaching guidance - rules that are claimed to help minorities which are in fact the worst things you could do.

> You know what you're doing

You read that post and you think I want minorities to fail? That I want racist school policies?

I was railing against the assumption that minority (it's always racial minorities they mean) students are failing to begin with, and then that they were failing because white courses and white standards are too hard for them.

That sort of racial framing goes against decades of psych research into things like stereotype threat and is known to be harmful to students' success.

"I went back to University for another graduate degree in 1984, and I was suprised to hear the professor that taught the compiler class say that everyone should be using lex and yacc for any compiler development. By then, in the real world, people had discovered the much more meaningful error messages were possible with LL or reecursive descent (i.e., to down) parsing."

The error messages complaint is the one I always see. I rarely see other, specific complaints.

Question: Is this "error messages" complaint referring to error messages for lex, yacc or both. Does the complaint apply evenly to both programs. As a flex user, generally, I rarely if ever see error messages.

I like flex because it does not require as much memory as the alternatives. Ideally, I want scanners to perform roughly same from computer to computer and from input to input, irrespective of the amount of memory available or the size of the input. I like UNIX utilties that read files line by line.

> faces and fingers are easy for us humans to parse because...

because we have dedicated neural hardware for faces -- the "fusiform face area", a relatively small volume of the brain which is used by non-autistic humans for facial recognition/processing. A lot of our sensitivity to human faces is neural structure that's in our DNA, and yes that does pair with a lifelong obsession over human faces to spend huge amounts of energy learning more about them. But after infant brain development we're not relying on a blank slate for human faces.

> One case study of agnosia provided evidence that faces are processed in a special way. A patient known as C. K., who suffered brain damage as a result of a car accident, later developed object agnosia. He experienced great difficulty with basic-level object recognition, also extending to body parts, but performed very well at recognizing faces. A later study showed that C. K. was unable to recognize faces that were inverted or otherwise distorted, even in cases where they could easily be identified by normal subjects. This is taken as evidence that the fusiform face area is specialized for processing faces in a normal orientation.
