My understanding is that at least one form of training in the RLHF involves supplying antecedent and consequent training pairs for entailment queries.

The LLM seems to be only one of the many building blocks and is used to supply priors / transition probabilities that are used elsewhere in downstream part of the model.

I don't think slow/fast is an appropriate analogy. Yes there are safety concerns - you don't want the model advising you how to do mass killing or something - but I also get the sense that the raw model is unpredictable, behaves weird, and generally has its own problems. So I don't see RLHF as reducing capability so much as altering capability. My suspicion is that the raw model would have other major flaws, and RLHF is just trading one set of flaws for another. Which is to say, the limitations introduced by RLHF are indeed artificial, but the raw model itself has limitations too.
Ah great the last missing link in making killbots at scale.

Well that’s frigging cool! Thanks for enlightening me!
I'm curious how they isolated the effect of race (but I can't read the paper, so, I dunno) among other signs. If they even did—the abstract doesn't make it clear to me that they're claiming race is the causal factor, but may just be observing that distance correlates with the race of the subjects (for whatever reason).

[EDIT] cpitman's link elsewhere in the thread helped: they placed the person the avoidance of whom they were measuring, so they could at least partially control for affect and clothing and such.
The only way to tell is to do a blood test. It took me taking 10k IU a day to get to the mid point recommended range. On the plus side, daily 10K IU is covered by my drug plan. I get my levels tested every 3 months.
Sounds interesting, and plausible. It's unfortunate that brown rice has more arsenic than white, since much of it is in the husk (brown part). I wonder how much this cooking method equalizes things (and if it would also be helpful for white rice).
As someone who was planning on going to CCC for the first time this year: this is very oblique, and doesn't give me the context that I need to understand your grievance.

What exactly is the problem with CCC, and what happened in 2019?

(I didn't downvote you.)
Very true. In my opinion, in case there is a way to extract "Semantic Clouds of Words", i.e given a particular topic, navigate semantic clouds word by word, find some close neighbours of that word, jump to a neighbour of that word and so on, then LLMs might not seem that big of a deal.

I think LLMs are "Semantic Clouds of Words" + grammar and syntax generator. Someone could just discard the grammar and syntax generator, just use the semantic cloud and create the grammar and syntax by himself.

For example, in writing a legal document, a slightly educated person on the subject, could just use the relevant words put into an empty paper, fill in the blanks of syntax and grammar, alongside with the human reasoning which is far superior than any machine reasoning, till today at least.

The process of editing the GPT* generated documents to fix reasoning is not a negligible task anyway. Sam Altman mentioned that: "the machine has some kind of reasoning", not a human reasoning ability by any means.

My point is, that LLMs are two programs fused into one, "word clouds" and "syntax and grammar", sprinkled with some kind of poor reasoning. Their word clouding ability, is so unbelievable stronger than any human it fills me with awe every time i use it. Everything else is, just whatever!
> I feel like the need for a triple-redundancy option in RAID is superseded by more “advanced” software “RAID” at the file system level such as ZFS or ButterFS (to an extent).

ZFS has triple-parity with RAID-Z3:

> The need for RAID-Z3 arose in the early 2000s as multi-terabyte capacity drives became more common. This increase in capacity—without a corresponding increase in throughput speeds—meant that rebuilding an array due to a failed drive could "easily take weeks or months" to complete.[38] During this time, the older disks in the array will be stressed by the additional workload, which could result in data corruption or drive failure. By increasing parity, RAID-Z3 reduces the chance of data loss by simply increasing redundancy.[40]

The use of software versus "hardware" (firmware) does not remove the need for extra copies of data.

Have you considered "guerrilla gardening" and repurposing wasted space around you? Buying a large amount of personal land is not a prerequisite.

This doesn't sound right. Does this mean that the drive decides to arbitrarily move blocks between your partition and unpartioned spaces to manage GC?

I've also thought of installing an outdoor sewage drain to let me dump it into the city sewers instead, since the sewage treatment plant will process it in a better way than the landfill.

Ask HN: Where to Find Motivation?
I am finding it harder and harder to bring myself to actually do my job as a developer. I do not care in the slightest about the product I work on, the people I work with are fine but there isn’t really any culture or substance in the relationships within the company since it is all remote, and the problems that need solving are all very uninteresting to me.

It seems like others on the team and other devs I’ve talked to about this don’t really have the same outlook as I do because they are able to get enough enjoyment and fulfillment out of working with the tech stack that the other factors don’t seem to matter as much if at all to them.

I have started to feel this way at all the companies I have worked for at some point, leading me to believe that I just wasn’t working at the right place or I was getting burned out / needed to find somewhere I was passionate about the mission statement of the company for this to go away, but it seems to be a problem that is tied to me and not my environment.

I enjoy programming in my free time and love learning, building things, etc… but am not someone who is so enthralled by the act of writing and working with software that I can fully be happy working on absolutely anything like others I know in the same field as me.

In an ideal world, I would be able to find somewhere to work that either lines up really well with something I am passionate about or the people I work with are so great that it makes up for the work not being particularly interesting, but this seems challenging to achieve in practice.

Does anyone else feel similarly to how I do and if so, are there any strategies you have found useful to help motivate yourself?

I'm being purposefully unspecific.

The message is intended to be read by the people who are enforcing vague rules, making hit groups, publicly humiliating others and in one case using physical force (and smugly).

The people I'm referring to know exactly who they are, and the people who surround them know who I am referring to also. Which is the only people that a message such as this is meant to be serving. It's not meant as a warning to anyone else.

I'm quite sure you will have fun at CCC it really is a blast - please don't read it as a warning. It is quite likely that you will feel the environment hints at what I am referring to, but I doubt it will affect your enjoyment unless you cross one of these people --- which is very unlikely of course, but it's something I am personally very wary of.
It is 2023 and our tooling still encourages the same mistakes people were making 40 years ago. Can we really not have equality operators that do a comparison with a 1% tolerance or something as a sensible default equivalence instead of blatantly wrong bitwise comparison?

I would even be happy with a default set of compiler warnings or errors, which I don’t believe I have ever seen.
They are a way of approximating Real (the set not as an adjective) numbers, though. Real numbers are exact when they are equal to an integer or a rational, because, depending on how you construct them, either that's what the cut contains or that's where the series converges.

And also because that's what the most common spec demands.

In my younger years, I rarely exercised and had low energy and needed constant rest to be able to accomplish anything. What the person said in this video would have made a lot of sense to me back then. It's only once I started to exercise regularly that I gradually gained more and more energy. Make no mistakes about it, it's really difficult to get started and stay constant and at first it will feel like the workouts steal more energy from you than give back. However, if you persist, you will see huge benefits in many aspects of your life.

Was it Linus himself who said don't take things away from users?

The person they quoted from Roblox staff says they have to support a client they release. But why? Engaging with a community means you don't parent them. Tell the community, “hey we can't support this but if you want to support it yourselves we trust you to be adults about it”. That would be the most positive action to come from this. Instead it's very invasive anti-cheat (usually equivalent to rootkitting) and a full on block of Wine. Horrific behavior.

Nope. A huge chunk of the country switched to teaching kids to guess from pictures, because adults don't like the sound of kids sounding out words, and the folks selling that idea had some pretty slick marketing.

Ghastly. How can this possibly be published by Nature? Flawed from the start since reliably detecting "race" is more complicated than just physical appearance, yet the data is based on surveillance cameras. Also, culture may be just as if not more significant. Maybe New York just has a lot of assholes and low individualism. Also, how can a mere correlated difference of reaction be considered "racist"?

"Permaculture" (n) - growing things in your garden to eat alongside supermarket-bought food, while pretending to be a good green farmer.

Reality bites. You simply can not grow enough calories to feed yourself, in a way that scales to the whole planet. Or even a significant part of the planet. You need staple crops such as beans, potatoes, wheat that are not fun to grow. You need fixed nitrogen and likely phosphorus for fertilizer, unless you happen to live on a very good soil.
I had a similar experience in the early 90s (II followed by 68K Macs (LCIIs) and a few molar macs), but by '98 (HS for me) they were buying pallets full of Gateway and Dell desktops which gradually replaced the Mac labs.

My guess on causes in no particular order:

1. Apple got stingier in the discounting

2. They faced more aggressive competition from PC vendors and weren't willing to eat any additional margin by increasing their subsidy

3. What I suspect is the case: Schools looked around, compared Windows 95 vs Mac OS 7 and 8, looked at Apple's business marketshare (nil) and their shrinking consumer marketshare, and concluded Apple was lost in the wilderness and teaching kids to use Macs was pointless. Even as an Apple admirer at the time (couldn't afford one though) I can understand the decision.

The problems grandparent describes are real.

As a scientist, if you find "Black people good, white people bad" --> publication + promotion

You find "White people good, black people bad" --> you lose your job

Completely orthogonal to the morality of it, it creates something called publication bias (or the file drawer problem) in the social sciences. It's a huge issue.

Sure it has, 8-bit computers which started into BASIC interpreters in an instant, Visual Basic and Delphi drag-and-drop, HyperCard style environment - having to install WSL or buy and learn to access a cloud server is much more up front effort.

>Where are you getting the idea that Big Ag has less environmental impact than a backyard garden???

Most studies I've seen suggest that the larger the farming operation, the more efficiently it's able to use resources. Most of those were small/organic farms instead of a backyard garden, but I don't see many reasons to think it would be better.

>When properly applied, permaculture is about minimal effort.

You still put in more effort than most people. Someone working a median wage job will be able to buy more food in the time it takes you to maintain your garden. The only exception are the very poor.

>Yes, that's also the point of permaculture: diverting waste streams and closing loops.

Diverting waste is good, but when scaled up it won't be sufficient. You won't be able to get free fertilizer from people that prune trees because everyone will want it, and that's assuming a lot of this waste would still even be produced in an environmentally conscious world. You will most likely need to produce all of it on your own.

>Huh? Where are you getting the idea that permaculture encourages resource theft and tax avoidance?

To be fair, this is just from the permaculture people that I know. Many of them work very little and pay nothing in taxes, use medicare, and are still well off because a lot of their labor is untaxable. They live in suburbs and the country where stuff like roads and water are provided to them at a loss to society.
