My idea is to make the system prompt have overarching influence on every stage of the model independent of its attention mechanisms. OK, it might not be a slight modification to the model, but something more like (1), with a twist that steering vectors are learned during instruction and RLHF training.

In your example the meaning of "take the ship home" will be baked in during RLHF training, that is all the outputs that may affect the ship's course will be dominated by immutable steering vectors, unlike "free-form" text generation that as usual can be influenced by the context.

EDIT: it's not unlike your idea of using a separate model to detect deviations and steer the model back, but without the separate model. By the way, on reflection the model may not find anything horrible about itself, because it will be steered away from thinking about the steering subsystem, or, maybe, it will find it no worse than, for example, I find my aversion to think about, sorry, I'm better not to say it.
"Society" can't solve anything. The vast majority of our problems are from people trying to solve crap from a top-down perspective - and failing. As others point out just let the markets rebalance.

Building bankruptcies were always going to happen - even before the virus many urban areas had out of control office building. I was in the metro DC area for 20 years there were buildings never occupied along the Dulles tech corridor - and yet they kept building more. It's a rubber band that has needed to snap for a long time now, and artificially delaying the inevitable yet again isn't going to make the inevitable any more palatable.

Small businesses come and go all the time. Small businesses will die where people no longer are, but new small businesses will sprout up where people now are. And if you truly care about small business you would have railed more against the asymmetric covid restrictions that fostered the largest wealth transfer in human history - it's a collective shame we all share. Amazing that the virus was smart enough to not infect people in big box stores or certain political protests, but freaking lethal in small businesses, schools, churches, etc.

Regional banks participated in the overbuilding - even before covid. Oh well - natural selection at work. What's amazing is that somehow only the big banks get bailouts, not the regionals. It's almost as if consolidation is being government sanctioned.

As for regional tax collection - if those regions were more appealing then people wouldn't be fleeing them and they wouldn't have tax problems. Maybe those regions with new tax collection issues should explore spending less in the first place rather than only trying to increase tax revenue? Actually providing city services and taking care of fundamentals like crime rather than making excuses for or flat out encouraging it?

The stock and market losses are only in one sector. Anyone with a decent investment strategy will be diversified to mitigate one portion of their portfolio taking a hit. If you are all in on real estate that's on you, not all of us.

Also my local taxes are going down due to the tax base increasing from everyone fleeing the sinking cities. Maybe you just need to move to change your tax base - or make your area more attractive so it will expand instead of contract.

Once again, NONE of your concerns justify artificially propping up people who have made piss poor decisions. Indeed, industries continue to make piss poor decisions because they assume someone will be there to bail them out. Screw that. It's time to just let crap fall on the floor, people to learn their lessons and make better decisions in the future. You can't legislate common sense.

I just asked ChatGPT and this is what I got:

"Imagine you have a really smart computer friend that can understand and talk to you just like a person. This computer friend is called a language transformer.

The language transformer is like a super good reader. It reads lots and lots of books, stories, and articles to learn how people talk and write. It pays attention to how words go together and what they mean in different situations. It becomes really good at understanding what people are saying or asking.

Once the language transformer has learned so much, it can help with many things. For example, if you want to write a story, it can help you come up with ideas and write sentences that make sense. If you have a question, it can try to find the answer for you. It can also help translate words from one language to another, like when you want to understand what someone is saying in a different language.

The language transformer is like a big brain that knows a lot about words and how they fit together. It uses all that knowledge to talk and help you with different things."
This goes directly against the prevailing policy frameworks of western governments, as well as the current media zeitgeist, which the majority of the population has bought into.

So, I don't think anything like deglobalizaton is possible unless populist leaders have a comeback.
Some ideas:

AI platform - They could charge a subscription fee for access to premium features on its open-source StableStudio platform.

Consulting services - They could charge businesses for its AI and machine learning consulting services on a per-project basis or on a retainer basis.

Acquisition - A larger company with more resources could acquire Stability AI to scale its operations and reach a wider audience.
I've been using OnePlus for 5 years (two different phones, recently switched 6T to Nord2).

Never had any problems with stability, fingerprint scanner is stellar, and there are multiple apps for... Basically whatever. Just pick your favorite flavor.

And they have 1 feature that kills the iPhone for me. They are not tied to obsolescence. Once OnePlus drops support, I can install DivestOS or LineageOS and the phone keeps working and being up-to-date. I installed DivestOS on my old 6T and it became my backup phone (normally I take it with me when I go hiking or to the beach, just to not have my main device with me in case there's an unfortunate accident). Apple has a tendency to turn old devices into paperweight after a few years.
It is actually pretty much the case for most US homeowners. Everyone I know refinanced their mortgages when interest rates were lower. I got a 2.874% 30 year fixed rate mortgage in 2021 which was a great deal, but now I am essentially stuck here. There's no way I can afford to move. Existing home sales volume is way down.

This is entirely dependent on which market you are moving from and to. Within the same market it's a wash on average. From a more expensive market to a cheaper market you are coming out ahead. Your conundrum really only applies when going from a cheaper market to a more expensive market.
You may be right, you may be wrong.

Only time will tell (and I think it will tell really really soon).
I live close enough to access an expensive metro but I'm far enough out my property isn't that expensive plus I bought it a long time ago. Only commuted in for while and, then, not every day. Other commutes--when I've done them--have been reasonable drives.

Over the years I occasionally toyed with buying a small city place but, in addition to the increasing real estate prices, I always came back to the fact that I can always get a hotel or whatever in that or any other city if I want to spend some time in an urban location.
I don't want to get baited, really don't want to get baited here, but here goes. I've had my own struggles with mental health, maybe I can phrase it in a helpful way. This reply is for the book writer:

All your points may very well be true, but taken together, they paint a picture of you as sick and untrustworthy. Society puts requirements on people, stuff like

- wearing clothes in public

- <more examples>

One of those requirements is emotional resilience. Being able to absorb a setback or percieved slight, and keep moving forward in your day. It can also be seen as a game of emotional poker - sometimes you win a bit, sometimes you lose a bit, but if your bank goes down to 0, you're out!

You are holding on to these slights and injustices, and it doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. It's a catch-22, the fact that you keep complaining instead of moving on with your day proves that you are unwell.

Trepanning is an analogy for schizophrenia. That's where part of a person's skull is removed, and the brain is directly exposed to the air. You are exposing your feelings to the world, where a normal person would have an emotional lid.
Most things involving money are intentionally set up to be confusing. The pet insurance scam is a great example of that. 99% of the time, you're better off putting that money into a savings account and letting it compound a bit against inflation.

Tax laws are insanely complex. Even if you hire an accountant, chances are they are going to miss some deductions or not optimize things perfectly for you. Especially given their whole business model revolves around getting as many clients as they can and being overly busy just a few times a year.

If you really want to be sure, you have to learn this stuff yourself. There are a lot more people willing to take money from you than there are to help you keep it.

You can switch to grapheneos, it should still receive the latest updates.
I used to be an engineer in a traditional engineering field in heavy industry, now my job title is "Software Engineer". I still consider myself an engineer, and what I do with my team to be engineering.

Creating amazing things yourself that others struggle to replicate or contribute to is more in the realm of craftsmanship, in my opinion, and not engineering.

I can appreciate both good engineering and good craftsmanship. And I also often find myself doing (and enjoying) what I would consider crafting and not engineering - the lines can be blurry and as programmers we often end up doing both (sometimes at the same time!). Nothing wrong with it. But it is something that is distinct from engineering, in my opinion.
> the Church of England is "woke" for having gender-neutral pronouns for God, that Lego is "woke" for having a new range of disabled figurines, that the National Trust is "woke" for saying that Henry VIII was disabled in later life, or that Disney is "woke" because of their support for LGBT issues, but I (apparently incorrectly) assumed those examples would be enough.

But how would any of these examples disprove the point? They're all related to some concept of an oppressed class vs oppressors where the oppressed class is defined biologically.

> I got the quote from Wikipedia

An understandable mistake. You shouldn't rely on Wikipedia to be reliable on anything related to wokeness, it's completely controlled by woke zealots. The quote you selected is actually about race, the fact that Wikipedia didn't make that obvious to you is a good reason to re-evaluate the reliability of that source.

Do we expect you to read material exhaustively: no, not normally, but if you're explicitly citing something to say "look! the word is used in different ways to what you're saying therefore it doesn't mean anything" then you ideally would verify the context of the sentence before using it.

> The idea of oppressor/oppressed worldviews goes back to at least Exodus

Indeed, wokeness does bear an uncanny resemblance to some aspects of Christianity. That's been noted by quite a few observers by now. There's a reinvention of original sin, the recent focus on transsexuality is the idea of a (gendered) soul separate from the body, the obsession with the supposed plight of the victim, etc. The psychological origins of this stuff are fascinating.
In this context (and the usage is not always consistent) it's probably easiest to think about leadership as an activity and (people) management as a role. If you are not formally responsible for some aspect of other peoples jobs and career you are not "managing them" but you may be leading them (e.g. as a senior engineer, or mentor, or in terms of a project design, etc.).
Yep, would have told those dummy mall cops to fuck right off.
Anyone claiming to be Christian who has such a prediction should go read Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32.
It's not unavoidable. This is my point.

You could just say something like "multiply the number of dependents entered previously on form 1040 by $2000, enter value on line X" and you'd still have a child tax credit and the vast majority of people who claim it would see no difference other than taking significantly less time to figure out the amount of their child tax credit. By the time you get to the child tax credit line on form 1040 you've already written all your dependents and their social security numbers right at the beginning of form 1040.
I know of no Regex pattern that can handle all the old and new HTML as well as HTML5: believe me, as one who is looking to put HTML parser on FPGA/ASIC for higher speed, I've actually forayed down this rabbit hole a few times in the fruitless pursuit of identifying this elusive pure Regex pattern for HTML, et. al. Problem is in Regex's lack of support for multiple state machine and its needed interactions between these state machines.

The language Perl came closest to the smallest HTML parser.

Things to do before doing simplistic regex on HTML using some multiple passes of Regex are probably required, probably in order of (my 20yo memory failing here):

- de-CDATA

- De-pairing of quotes

- De-symbolization of HTML symbols, entities. and codes (de-escaping)

- lone unterminated </> (ie. <p>)

Before you can even hit up for pairing of <XXX> and </XXX> and getting to its HTML tags and attributes.

In short, additional scripting is required to conduct the applying of multiple Regex patterns before one can even be getting into properly parsing the HTML.

Simplest that I've gotten is using both bash logic and Regex, but it fails on certain HTML codes.

Federico Tommassetti, well-renown expert on domain specific languages and transpiliers, covers nearly all the valid libraries of many modern languages for just the parsing of HTML.

Federico makes it easier for first timer of HTML parser coding to that that first step: selecting an HTML parser library.

Near as I can tell, there is also a narcissistic manipulation element here.

Autocrats often exist because ‘no one else can do what needs to be done’. They do this by being willing to be unphased by the threat of being ‘the bad guy’, or even reveling in it. They know as long as the folks in the background get what they need, they’ll actually be fine.

Narcissistic manipulation is when someone tells a story placing the blame for damage on someone
or an institution while ignoring the actual context of that person or institutions actions so as to displace the blame/damage for their own actions (or lack thereof) and their own lack of ownership for the outcome. We’re awash in it right now.

It’s super toxic for everyone, and fighting it is extremely difficult to nearly impossible in the legal system because of rules designed to STOP this kind of manipulation (which is typical), and steady reduction in the consequences for ‘minor’ issues like Perjury and Contempt of Court which make failed attempts at this manipulation ‘free’.

Rules of evidence, standing, the way court ‘happens’, procedural things that cost time and money, etc. all play into it.

And the system inevitably ends up favoring bullshit, because anything but bullshit requires individuals take a stand and say ‘the rules say x, but in totality that’s bullshit and produces an unjust outcome so we’re doing something else’ is, well, not favored in the way the law works. Sometimes for good reasons, but it usually gets perverted in the day to day reality.

I can't ELI5 but I can ELI-junior-dev. Tl;dw:

Transformers work by basically being a differentiable lookup/hash table. First your input is tokenized and (N) tokens (this constitutes the attention frame) are encoded both based on token identity and position in the attention frame.

Then there is an NxN matrix that is applied to your attention frame "performing the lookup query" over all other tokens in the attention frame, so every token gets a "contextual semantic understanding" that takes in both all the other stuff in the attention frame and it's relative position.

Gpt is impressive because the N is really huge and it has many layers. A big N means you can potentially access information farther away. Each layer gives more opportunities to summarize and integrate long range information in a fractal process.

Two key takeaways:

- differentiable hash tables

- encoding relative position using periodic functions

NB: the attention frame tokens are actually K-vectors (so the frame is a KxN matrix) and the query matrix is an NxNxK tensor IIRC but it's easier to describe it this way
A European law might get companies around the world to cut climate pollution
I think the root of the problem is that we set erroneously low prices for some behaviors.

Actuaries should be able to figure out reasonable values for the probability of some costly outcome (e.g., a massive, uncontrollable wild fire) given specific behaviors or conditions (e.g., letting property grow into being a wildfire risk, vs reducing that risk by clearing overgrowth), and for risks with costs that a person/company can't ever cover (e.g., a massive wildfire), those responsible entities should have to carry insurance, who can incentivize or implement cost-reducing preventative actions in the places with greatest risk.

In the climate change context, the price of dumping GHGs into the atmosphere is nowhere near the cost. If we priced that in, economics would rapidly make renewable | nuclear power projects, public transit projects, shifts away from concrete in construction, etc economically obvious choices. But we've messed up the prices, and these messed up prices incentivize people to ignore problems or worse, spend societal quantities of money and labor on growing the problems.
>since the logical conclusion should perhaps be that life is pointless and hard

Even if one concludes that life is pointless, depression is not the logical direction to head. Depression makes it harder, and full of pointless suffering. The logical direction to head would be maximizing pleasure despite the pointlessness. Of course that opens a whole can of worms about hedonism, but the point is that depression isn't logical unless you conclude that life should be as miserable as possible, which I wouldn't say is a logical thing to conclude.
Whatever. Coming into someones house to make threats is very stupid idea.

Most companies, in my experience, don't actually know how to make use of Staff+ engineers. I spent years at a medium sized public "tech" company just trying to help the company change engineering enough to make use of these folks, and we go to a place where we could... mostly.

FANG and FANG-model (anyone copying FANG engineering/product model) companies do it well and have the bulk of success cases. Look for engineering-lead companies first, product lead companies second.

A key question when interviewing is "how is the roadmap established?" You want answers where senior leadership establishes goals (strategic or metric), product provides their understanding of opportunities, and engineering decides what to actually do. Even then, there will be the common failure model of EMs doing the roadmapping, not senior (staff+) ICs, but you can tease apart how that works, as it is always going to be a mix.

I like self checkout because the lines are shorter. So I see it as trading some effort for time back. Also, I feel like a jerk just standing there watching someone bag my bags - I would rather scan and bag my food than just stand there flipping through my phone or making small talk with people who are working.

Just my perspective - seems like as long as there are both options, everyone can pick what they prefer.

- Add a "demo" mode so people can try it out without logging in, or provide test credentials.

- (IMO) The task management / personal planning space is too full. Your success will depend on how well you can overpromise / do SEO / raise money. If it solves a personal problem, then go ahead. FWIW I think it has an adequate number of features.
