In Los Angeles, anyway, where as you may know, it "never rains", there's been what residents can only describe comparatively as "non-stop rain" since the new year.

Where it should be regularly mid-70s by this time of year, it's stayed around high-50s since January.

Preparing for my trip to London, I was planning for a wetter and colder climate than I'm accustomed to. It turns out it's actually nicer weather in London than in LA right now.
Bold and italic text, NFT profile pictures, two-factor authentication, and you can upload videos that are an hour in length. The list goes on.
I typically stay at decent hotel chains like Marriott or Hilton and sometimes they have sign where they say they only do cleaning every other day or something. I just tell them when I check in that they will be checking and cleaning my room daily. That doesn't mean that they need to change the bed sheets everyday or change out all of the towels in the bathroom everyday. At minimum they need to be making up the bed swiffering the room and wiping down surfaces quickly and checking if any towels need to be replaced.

I've never had a problem with the hotel refusing that request or attempting to charge me extra for it. Considering the daily rates that most of these hotels charge it's included. What really irritates me is when I see a little card saying I can tip the cleaning staff if I think that they did a good job. I'm paying $150 plus a night and I need to tip the staff. Bullshit you pay them what you feel is the appropriate wage for their job and that's it.
Yeah, I've actually never seen this type of "script" before.

It's absolutely not the original shooting scripts. Multicam sitcom scripts have a very specific style of formatting, and these are just missing details they would contain in terms of scene descriptions, etc.

But this also isn't just a transcript of subtitles or closed captioning. It's full of things like:

> KRAMER: [glues the article back with his own saliva and puts the magazine back on the table] When you're done, let me know.

> % Jerry shows Elaine some movie from the Adult section that's probably % called "The Sperminator", or something...

So fans transcribed these and then tried to fill in the visual details as well?

What a labor of love. I'm curious if there's a specific term or name for this type of transcription-with-visual-details.
I assume they meant the cycling was caused by the moon, not that we should move there.
Still requires a substantial runtime.
Yeah, fortunately it looks like there may be things that can be done which reduce GHG emissions while also enabling economic development. It’s already been the case for a while that developed countries have continued to grow while their emissions have decreased (even when accounting for trade – ie ‘offshoring’ of emissions). Hopefully developing countries will be able to better take advantage of the cheaper energy[1] provided by solar to develop faster. They don’t need to go through the same GHG-heavy steps much like they don’t need to develop a pony express or telegraph network. Though my understanding of economic development is that there are no east recipes to make it happen so I don’t really know how it will go. Note that I’m only really talking about GHG emissions and not other kinds of pollution or environmental harm.

[1] obviously the advantage may not be so great (or even an advantage) if labour costs are different or if coal plants are cheaper. It still has a disadvantage of all costs being weighted towards installation time and the advantage of not requiring the whole thing to be installed at once.
I’m experimenting with flux.ai. Browser based pcb design. It has promise and a good team.
Sure, I wouldn't expect to get any help from the Python folks if I had some trouble. I was hoping for more of a don't care philosophy. But the installer goes out of its way to disallow installing it.

No, I haven't tried to build from source. That's a rabbit hole I'm not particularly interested in jumping down.

(X - Z) is not necessarily < (Y - Z) for a given individual's choice of X vs Y though. If a vegan is judicious about picking nutritious food, (X - Z) > a lazy junk food-eating person who doesn't understand nutrition, only what tastes good's (Y - Z).
I am not really asking for tools that do a lot of jobs, though. A simple program that manages systemd services or provides a nice UI around journald logs seems completely reasonable to me.

That said, I don't take the UNIX philosophy to be gospel, and frankly, very little of the Linux kernel or desktop really seems to. That seems to be closer to what the *BSD derivatives would steer towards. I just want a functional operating system, and the specific ideology or design of packages isn't too big of a concern so as long as the end result seems solid.
It's amazing to think of a thing someone has made or has helped make be so numerous. And a physical thing too not software or words or an idea an actual thing.

Transistors on a CPU are actual things. Intel or AMD CPUs having billions. One CPU the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) as they describe it "has 2.6 trillion transistors, which make up 850,000 AI-optimized processing units". That's one big chip!
And even if they all rode the bus and lived in the smallest apartment possible.. we would still be basically in the same problem.

We don't know what "advertisers want", because there is no objective advertiser milieu. It has been ruined by pressure campaigns from political groups that are propped up by an extremist media. The only significant drama originates from these pressure campaigns, from groups who are upset that Twitter no longer acts as their de facto partisan agent.

The way to seek even ground is for corporations to stop responding to media pressure, and for the press to abandon that role once society rejects it for them. Until then, the pendulum is going to swing too heavily in both directions.
Yeah, the whole point of Seinfeld was the point of No Exit: If these were better people, they could leave their Hell and move on, but they're not, so they're stuck with each other. For them, "Hell is other people" in that they choose to be with the ones who torment them the most, and who they torment the most, because they lack the capacity to choose otherwise.
The reason for using raw/block devices back then (or Veritas VxFS that created additional raw devices to access VxFS files in a manner that bypassed regular OS filesystem I/O codepath & restrictions for reads & writes) was concurrent I/O.

In a busy database there are lots of processes reading a datafile and multiple processes writing (like DBWR checkpointing dirty blocks from buffer cache, but also some others), so this caused unnecessary file level contention in the OS kernel. Note that Oracle has I/O concurrency control built in, you can't have two processes accidentally writing the same block to the storage at the same time or a reader reading a "torn block" due to an ongoing write (the serialization happens at buffer lock/pin level in Oracle code).

So you wanted to have concurrent I/O and you either had to use raw devices or Veritas VxFS back then. Later on concurrent I/O became available for some other filesystems too, like Solaris UFS having the "cio" mount option, etc.
CV90 Anti-Drone Defence
I have trouble taking seriously phrases like "prompt injection" or "jailbreak" in the context of LLMs. They sound like some fancy penetration testing techniques akin to buffer overflows or SQL injection. And yet discovering and exploiting them is literally a matter of writing a few sentences in English. A child could do it.

I agree with OP that it's pointless to even try to defend against these. You'll only end up unnecessarily constraining the model while not actually protecting exposure of the "rules" (really a list of sentences). And why even bother? What exactly is the harm of leaking these prompts? It's not like they contain some groundbreaking intellectual property.
This looks cool as a concept, but I've already got script-server [0] and it works pretty great as a no/low code solution for UI-ifying shell scripts.

What does windmill do that script-server can't? Or is windmill targeting a completely different area, and is thus irrelevant to me and my pile of 500+ python, shell, Golang, and java bin dir.

That's sort of the offensive part, that the claimed culture meaningfully exists and also does not engage in the criticized behavior. Both are wrong.

Astronomers reveal the largest cosmic explosion
Are you suggesting emissions due to human consumption are negligible factors in climate change?

Otherwise, I presume emissions = energy consumed = mass * distances the mass is moved.
This is what I would expect. With the thermal conduction across the planar barrier being different, disparities in heat flow to the sinks and the possibility of one chiplet running hotter than the other parts, there might be too much stress on the joined area. This is also assuming that the package is not experiencing any additional mechanical stress from motion or vibration.
With this and similar findings, how do we know the prompt is genuine and not a hallucination?

One would think humans couldn't be phished, as well, but it's actually a very hard problem to prevent behaviors that violate specific contextual rules or norms, or even to formally specify those rules and norms and the contexts they must be obeyed in. This is a subset of the AI Alignment problem.
Videos and slides from the LLVM developer's meetings get posted onto the event site, though not immediately afterwards (as they have to get all the videos processed). If you're willing to wait a short while, the slides and presentation should eventually be uploaded and linked to from https://llvm.org/devmtg/2023-05/.
This is one of my favorite test cases:

Prompt:
Here is a riddle. It is a common riddle but with some changes that make it more difficult. You are an alien that will live for at least 10000 years. You have no sense of temperature. you can not feel hot or cold. you have eyes and can see. you are in a house. downstairs are 3 light switches that control 3 light bulbs that are upstairs. Each light bulb will last for exactly 3 years. you can tell by looking at a bulb if it has burned out after 3 years. devise a strategy to determine which switch controls which light.
ChatGPT 4
The standard solution to this problem involves using the heat generated by the bulbs, but since you as an alien can't feel temperature, we need to utilize the fact that these bulbs have a specific lifespan of 3 years. Here's a strategy:

Turn on the first switch and wait for 3 years. After 3 years, turn it off.

Right after turning off the first switch, turn on the second switch.

Leave the third switch off throughout this process.

Now, go upstairs to inspect the bulbs:

The bulb that is off and has burned out is controlled by the first switch. This bulb was turned on for 3 years, so it has reached the end of its lifespan and burned out.

The bulb that is on is controlled by the second switch. You turned this on right after turning off the first switch, so it's still functioning.

The bulb that is off and hasn't burned out is controlled by the third switch. This switch was never turned on, so the bulb is still in a brand-new condition.

This strategy ensures that you can confidently identify which switch controls which bulb.

At this point, any article that makes claims about "LLMs" rather than specific model versions lacks credibility.

The current version of GPT-4 is very different from most existing LLMs (including the previous version of ChatGPT). The next version release will also be different.

Google just released PaLM 2 publicly. It is significantly better than what people saw with the initial Bard versions. They have a code-generation model that is not released publicly yet.

The open source models are also gaining capabilities and get new releases routinely.

Claude now has a new release with 100K tokens.

All of these will perform differently on the negation issue.
Tucker had a big pull but it’s still niche and controversial. He doesn’t represent mainstream anything. The recent releases of some of his behind the scenes actions pretty much put him out of range of mainstream advertisers.

That said I am surprised some execs don’t go for him as being in their brand zone.

"Raspberry Pi Pico RISC-V Emulator Runs Linux" ( 2 days ago )

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-risc-v-e...

https://github.com/tvlad1234/pico-rv32ima

"This project uses CNLohr's mini-rv32ima RISC-V emulator core to run Linux on a Raspberry Pi Pico. It uses two 8 megabyte SPI PSRAM chips as system memory. To alleviate the bottleneck introduced by the SPI interface of the PSRAM, a 4kb cache is used. The cache implementation comes from xhackerustc's uc32-rvima project."
On a related note, Azure just endorsed Rust to replace C/C++ as the non-garbage-collected language of choice.

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-azure-secur...

> Rust as the path forward over C/C++

> Decades of vulnerabilities have proven how difficult it is to prevent memory-corrupting bugs when using C/C++. While garbage-collected languages like C# or Java have proven more resilient to these issues, there are scenarios where they cannot be used. For such cases, we’re betting on Rust as the alternative to C/C++. Rust is a modern language designed to compete with the performance C/C++, but with memory safety and thread safety guarantees built into the language. While we are not able to rewrite everything in Rust overnight, we’ve already adopted Rust in some of the most critical components of Azure’s infrastructure. We expect our adoption of Rust to expand substantially over time.
Arguably, developing countries nowadays have a _massive_ advantage in that they could industrialise in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the human suffering developed countries went through _because_ of greentech.

Like, instead of committing millions of your citizens to coal mining with picks and steam-powered lifts, you can just buy or produce turbines and solar panels, put them up and enjoy the benefits of electrification. Worst case, you build cheap has turbines and buy or pump LNG.

"It would take Ra's al Ghul to resolve the problems of this city" dereferences directly to "It would take [mass gassing the residents of Baltimore to death] to resolve the problems of this city", as Batman Begins is the scheme being referred to.

Both are hyperbole, but that is indeed what was said and implied. Defend it as rhetoric, don't gaslight it as a purposeful misreading.
I’m all for making cars harder to steal, but I don’t think constructing the problem as unsolvable and out of the cities hands is all that compelling either.
Optimizer person here, who has implemented each of these at least 20 times each ;-)

The tradeoffs and engineering are quite complex.

The short answer is that the algorithms themselves are not the hard part. Compilers do not get better by magic algorithms most of the time, they get better by careful and hard tuning and testing (where are optimizations missed, what performance is lost or gained somewhere, etc).

They get better 0.01% at a time over 20 years. There are no magic bullets, only really hard work.

Those that try to implement these without LLVM discover it themselves, and either put in the work, or give up and realize it's better to reuse the work.

I mean, don't get me wrong - we spend plenty of time reducing complexity of algorithms, etc.
The difference between a textbook algorithm and one implemented in a production compiler is often the difference between a fisher price cell phone and and iphone.

That isn't always true mind you (sparse constant prop is pretty simple in both cases), but it's often true.

But this is applied engineering.

For example, the SSA construction algorithm in LLVM is based on sreedhar and gao's linear time algorithm.
The paper describes a mechanism that requires construction of separate data structures, is somewhat complex, etc.
If you were to implement it straight out, it's pretty slow. Much slower than other mechanisms.

LLVM's version is simple, 200 lines of code, and faster than just about any other algorithm you will find on both small and large functions. Oh, it also handles liveness pruning and works to compute both forward and reverse iterated dominance frontiers.

See https://llvm.org/doxygen/GenericIteratedDominanceFrontier_8h...

Could language authors spend their time understanding the theory well enough to do this, reducing complexity, and engineering something that works as well. Sure, it's just software.

Is it a good use of their time?
Probably not.

This did not come out of thin air like this either. It's based on 10+ years of people improving pieces of it, reducing complexity, reusing it elsewhere/etc. It's easy to look at it as having come this way fully formed, but it didn't ;) (in this particular case, even the in-llvm code history does not do it justice).

Someday, I hope LLVM is not really necessary, whether it's because we can run the sorts of complex/combined algorithms and not worry about it, or because AI is good enough at approximating optimizing pipelines or whatever.

But right now? if you want to compete on performance for real, you'd be hard pressed to do it.
You said something quite different sounding than here. Here you mention systems to prevent mistakes. Your original post said

you aren’t allowed to make mistakes of this magnitude. It really is that simple.

That does not mention prevention systems and instead put the blame squarely on the person making the mistake. They "simply should not have made the mistake, duh!"
Would you care to elaborate what you believe this problem is, and how you've deduced it?
There's a sample-and-poll approach that I've used with factual question-and-answer based tools that can help with this kind of thing as well.

First, you'll notice the added "work it out step by step" to encourage what is called chain-of-thought in the literature. Second, generate say, five responses from the LLM, then take all five responses and uses them in another prompt where you ask the LLM to reflect on all of the five responses, a process being called reflection. Then you take all of that, including the original prompts, and in another separate prompt ask it to figure out the best response, a process known as resolving. You could end it with another prompt to remove the step-by-step work and just return a succinct answer.

So does Seinfeld, to be fair.
This is exactly what the media does, point to the craziest and imply that the group shares all their views. Even if everyone in the group was a conspiracy theorist they can still be right that workers are feeling the strain more than others.

We need to steelman the views of our countrymen, not mock them.

Think of what they'd say about your side if the tables were turned.
China doesn't have a great geography for solar. Towards the East, it's either too humid or too far North to reap the full benefits of solar panel, and out West there aren't the population centres to make big differences.

So yeah, I'm guessing it's mostly to sell to countries with better sar geographies, especially the US and Australia.
I'd take just having more control at a more granular level rather than having it try to generate a full song every time (e.g. generating just foley noises, or just a guitar melody, etc).

>If a car has a hood and headlights reminiscent of a face and tells you to "buckle up, buttercup" when you don't do your belt, does that mean it's genuinely caring for you?

Why do you keep going on pointless tangents?. Whether you think it genuinely cares or not is irrelevant. This isn't a hard concept to understand.
Tesla as we know it wouldn't exist without him. IE, the company that almost single handedly (yes, with governments subsides etc etc - they were available to everybody) changed the car industry.

But, the way Musk tells the story or tries to push the narrative is very fishy. I remember reading Ashlee Vance biography of Musk, without knowing too much of him at the time, and while I was in awe about the achievements and boldness, it was also pretty obvious that the guy is childish and a dick.
Conceptual relationships/constrasts in general seem to be trouble for LLMs, in that they seem to 'understand' that two things are connected but not how to consistently interpret that connection. For example, I've had an easy time getting every LLM I've tried so far to reverse greater than/less than, taller/shorter, or younger/older.
It’s mostly because in free public universities there’s an appetite for making things hard. Very hard. The less students graduate, the most prestigious they think they are
I found the assertion that "more training data isn’t the solution" a bit odd. That might be true with documents found on the Internet, but perhaps logic questions generated synthetically would help?
The climate is going to change.

Whether or not it changes 1000x times the historic norm is up to us.
obligatory mention of the Vandelay Industries slack app[1].

usage is: /vandelay <seinfeld dialog you're looking for>.

it returns an animated gif of the scene & dialog you searched for (if it exists).

details about how it was made here[2] but the TL;dr is that the entire Seinfeld catalog were in MKV, the subs were extracted, then the sub time ranges were looped through and animated gifs were made. then the whole lot made searchable.

it's a great slack app.
