It's not 1% of the work. If you have ever written public documentation, or half-decent internal documentation that is understandable to people outside your team, you would know that it takes a lot of effort to get it right. Let alone something highly technical like this. If you get things wrong or skip things you think are trivial but not to others, you get more questions. And it is not a one-time thing, it is a living document that needs to be updated and revised over time.
It's also worth mentioning how intrusive notifications have gotten.

I remember back in the Good Old Days of Android there was a notification ticker that unintrusively told me that I had gotten a notification and sampled some (or all) of the text.

> Supply and demand is a nice theory, but calling it a law is magical thinking

Most government failures come from denying the LofS+D exists, or trying to repeal it. It works about as well as that state that passed a law defining pi to be equal to 3.0.
"One size does not fit all" is a common phrase for a reason
"Fundamental human right" is a pretty high bar and it's lazy to just throw it out there without any evidence. The UDHR (https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma...) has it stated as "[n]o one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy". Is signing up for an American company's service and being surprised they send information to the US really arbitrary?

Maybe it is (or maybe folks disagree with the UN on privacy) but people should actually make that case instead of treating it as self-evident.
Yes, but in my experience at least, while these were used they were not used company wide. They weren't even department wide or team wide in some cases. So the communication over something like AIM was way more intentional, way more likely to be relevant to the teams work, and there was not the expectation of getting quick responses or keeping your status as green/available. So even still the situation was way more tenable for keeping focus time.

You are wrong. and there's many papers to show otherwise.

I don't think users can consent to ongoing general-purpose data transfers.

This is from the European Data Protection Board FAQ following the Schrems II ruling. Does the text of the new ruling say something different?

> 8) Can I rely on one of the derogations of Article 49 GDPR to transfer data to the U.S.?

> it should be recalled that when transfers are based on the consent of the data subject, it should be ... specific for the particular data transfer or set of transfers (meaning that the data exporter must make sure to obtain specific consent before the transfer is put in place even if this occurs after the collection of the data has been made)

> With regard to transfers necessary for the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, it should be borne in mind that personal data may only be transferred when the transfer is occasional. It would have to be established on a case-by-case basis whether data transfers would be determined as “occasional” or “non-occasional”. In any case, this derogation can only be relied upon when the transfer is objectively necessary for the performance of the contract

Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Supply and demand is a great principle but you'll go hungry in the meantime. And if you're just poorer than your neighbors, the grocery store can jack up the price of eggs to cover the ones that spoiled because you couldn't afford them.
That's great, but it doesn't have anything to do with the points I raised.

Which is that I can't find any indication of a linear digital encoding that has been used to any appreciable extent that Meta could train on a corpus of it.

Which is why I'm struggling to understand why you're criticizing Meta? How could they realistically train a linear text model on ASL when the necessary content doesn't appear to exist?
> To kids. Hookup apps. Kids. It's sick.

Well, I read the snopes article and the book seems edgy but reasonable. Why is it sick? Is it wrong to teach middle school kids about sex before they might have it in high school? Anyways, I said I wasn't going to respond here anymore, so I won't, but I guess your morals and mine aren't a matching pair. I don't see how sex ed harms middle school kids. If anything, it helps them not be a dufus and get preggo when they have sex the first time. Lots of movies that middle schoolers watch show people meeting each other in different situatiosn and then dating, which isn't any different from a "hookup app", which aren't used for as much sex hookups as you folks seem to think, it's where people today meet each other to date. Sex isn't sick, it's how humans make babies and become closer as couples and sometimes how they have fun.
The poll you link addresses people “who say white people benefit from advantages in society that black people do not have.” That’s self-evidently true: for example, white people have more wealth than black people. They are much more likely to have college degrees. Etc. You could also say “WASPs benefit from advantages in society that Appalachians don’t have” and it would be equally true.

But a majority of non-whites also oppose racial preferences for college: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/04/26/u-s-publi..., and jobs: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/wp-content/uploads.... That includes a majority of black people in both cases. The majority of black and Latino people also don’t find common “micro aggressions” offensive. https://contexts.org/blog/who-gets-to-define-whats-racist

Racial preferences and quotas, and language policing are the most prominent of the concrete policies championed by white liberals who use phrases like “white privilege,” and most minorities don’t support either.
In a world where encryption is banned:

- will it be illegal to transmit a blast of static?

- will it be a crime to transmit words that aren’t good, clear Spanish? If no, what if it’s a crazy complicated language?

- will it be a crime to transmit Spanish with bad grammar? What if I transmit a billion random Spanish words?
Seems like everyone who wants to spy on and control you has a strong interest in outlawing encryption or anything else that stands in their way.

This paragraph justifies the decision, IMHO.

> Collecting audio data for thousands of languages was our first challenge because the largest existing speech datasets cover 100 languages at most. To overcome this, we turned to religious texts, such as the Bible, that have been translated in many different languages and whose translations have been widely studied for text-based language translation research.

I think the choice was just between having any data at all, or not being able to support that language.
> Once it was at war with Russia, Ukraine changed its mind again and decided it needed to pursue NATO membership as a goal, for some reason.

Your timeline is missing a few important points, let's start with the fact that it never stopped pursuing it since 2003, when it had taken part in the invasion of Iraq with their 5th and 6th mechanized brigades [1][2].

I wonder how well a LLM could guess the end of the sentence though. Most of the time decently well?
All words are made up. Most of them have meaning. Some of them are contextually misleading, and some are contextually assaulting.

For example, shouting the words, "Fuck God" in the middle of church would be considered an assault on the congregation.

Calling a non-binary person a "Man" would be considered an assault on that person.

Many of us secularists and atheists would very much like to leave the shadow of religious organizations. We can't do so without openly confronting the reality of those religious organizations and their power over our lives.

For that confrontation, we use words.

Either people have more money to absorb these cost increases or demand for some other non-essential goods is tanking. If it wasn't the government printing a bunch of money and it ending up in people hands to buy essential things, what are the non-essential things that no one is buying anymore?
Screen and other distractions notwithstanding, attending a conference in person is inherently more immersive for a lot of people with reduced day-to-day distractions and in-person discussions about topics.

A government by definition has a monopoly on state violence. If constituent members are going to war against each other then the so-called global government is not actually a government, it's more of a voluntary association similar to the UN that doesn't actually have much real power.
"Thermodynamically, the range of possible conformations, once folded, is only so big," <- this is not even remotely true, especially in the context of actual biology. Many proteins undergo constant small transitions between nearby substates, this is known to be important, and doesn't occur in flash frozen proteins (or is greatly reduced). And there are much, much larger conformational changes that can be unlocked in specific conditions- absolutely not going to happen once frozen. There's no real guarantee your sample population of frozen proteins are going to include the full biologically relevent set of conformations.

Like I said, ongoing problem, here is a recent paper addressing this : https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-020-00290-y and another: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-020-0925-6

The real problem is complexity, which has gone exponential.

When I joined the work force in 2000, my life was comparably so stunningly simple. Just a few guys in the same room. Barely any process or documentation. Email was still new so the concept of an outside world barely existed. Chat did not exist, but wouldn't make sense anyway. We talked a bit here and there but 80% was actually doing the work, not talking about it. Management had no idea what we were doing and metric porn did not yet exist.

A lot has changed. More complicated tech stacks means more deeper specializations, requiring more handovers. A lot is outsourced now so you may need vendors to move things. You may have off-shored things. Nobody has clarity on what you need to do, hence you need to hop the organization to find out the details. You need to pass legal and the privacy office. You need to report status constantly to an army of bean counters. Testing has become amazingly complicated and so is system administration.

It requires super human effort to move things by an inch. So no, "collaboration is not a force multiplier". Collaboration isn't a product or outcome. Ideally you'd have an absolute minimum of it. The ideal workflow is that you create a clear and detailed work package, hand it over to the worker, whom you then leave alone to actually do it.

Your companies' purpose is to ship software or whatever else it does, it isn't to ship emails, chat, status updates, approvals and documents.

It is absolutely baffling to me how highly paid office workers' productivity is pissed away like this without intervention. Don't send them to a yoga class to cope, fix the fucking problem. You're setting your money on fire.

I think it’s similar to learning most things in life. People can tell you to slip punches in Boxing a thousand times but just getting punched with a jab over and over will actually make you learn the Truth.

Or reading 50 books (with whatever technique you choose) on a topic like programming versus actually opening a IDE and building something.
LLMs can pass novel theory of mind tests, which is what we're talking about. The whole point of good tests is you invent or withhold new ones it has never seen before and test it on them.

The man has his points, and his takedown of behaviorism is still excellent, but no one has found any trace of universal grammar. And while GPTs have a crude world model at best, you can't fault their understanding of syntax, developed without any prior model at all. On this matter I would not have too much faith in Chomsky's analysis. And he is regardless just not a "big name in AI"! He never even claimed to be!
Show HN: AiSearch, the search engine that down-ranks junk
A lot has changed since I last posted about AI Search. It now supports all languages and uses a multitude of AI models under the hood resulting in fast AI summaries

The UI has been revamped and a chrome extension is now available that integrates searches with the navigation bar (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ai-search/eoggknli...)

I am not holding my breath for AiSearch becoming a well-known search engine any time soon. In fact, I prefer if it doesn't as I don't want to draw attention in the search engine all-out war. However, I have chosen to give the product for free because I find it useful for myself and perhaps someone can also benefit from it. Obviously, the engine is as private as it can be

If it becomes too expensive to run, I will unfortunately have to kill it. We'll see. Current costs are pretty low and I don't need it to feed me
Most of your comment is just an appeal to authority, which is a fallacy. Focus on the rigorous data part!
My XPS ran hot with Ubuntu 18.04 despite lots of attempts to under clock and such. However it runs like a dream under 22.04. I don't know what changed but it's a totally different machine. It's so slick and responsive it makes my M1 macbook feel sluggish. Really remarkable.
In other words you sound like an offended Ukrainian who got registered "77 days ago" and who had constantly been denying everything that didn't fit your agenda, including the political stance of your government prior 2014.
You can easily scroll down to see the off-topic tangent that GP has taken this thread into. Including some chime-ins that are somewhat unsavory from people that I suspect have a more ideological slant on this particular issue and probably aren't discussing in good faith.

One H100 has the same memory bandwidth as the two CPUs in each of the compute nodes. But the supercomputer has >9000 compute nodes, so 62x H100 GPUs might fall short there.

They also might not be measuring the same thing. H100 GPUs have "3026 TFLOPS":

...at FP8. 51 TFLOPS at FP32. Supercomputer lists typically use FP64.
The 2 metrics I've used in the past is

1. Bounce rate combined with Session length

- Bounce rate can be defined as % of users who leave only after viewing one or few pages. The reason at least I coupled bounce rate with session length is atleast in the app we work there are few personas that prefer to stay in one page for a long period of time and do some interactions. Bounce rate combined with Session length always give us a good picture are folks using the feature(s) as intended. One thing we did was set a baseline metric where we first measured session length on the app as well as per page basis, and after that we could build the bounce rate. Amplitude works well for this case

2. Churn Rate - number of users who stop using the app over a given period. This should be easy to do by querying db if you maintain some session duration information.
Unlikely the garbage dreamt up on 4chan is the truth. Sure the government lies. Doesn't mean your interpretation is correct.
It seems that developers think the solution to many AI challenges is just to try to wall off results from problematic areas, rather than to really try to understand the ways the AIs are interpreting or failing to recognise issues humans find important. Kind of a Tienanmen Square erasure approach. Yet there are many examples of humans circumventing these controls, and presumably just because the results are not shown for images doesn't mean there are no results. What does training mean in that context?
Of course, my critique is less "This project shouldn't exist", but rather "It seems to me there are several biases that affect the performance of this project in the context it was presented in".

This is a great project and an important stepping stone in a multilingual AI future.

The percapitafication of emissions is one of the biggest misdirects of the climate change issue. There is no plausible mechanism for individuals to steer this based on their own consumption. You can want it to happen but it won’t ever happen in a the numbers required. Changes have to happen at the corporate and industrial levels.

This is why it is dangerous to think that the best scientific theories always prevail and that science is a meritocracy. The people invited to give talks are usually well known or have connections with the program committees. There is also an element of bias since the people on the organizing and program committees will invite speakers whose research is consistent with their own work.
Is that more from a general reluctance to pay for anyone else's benefit, in general, or more from the conviction that what's not useful to you can't possibly be good for anyone else either?

The reference is me seeing it firsthand after testing it myself, unfortunately. Steps to replicate is to write a small script to enter the time as text every minute on the minute, then hook up that text to one of the instruction fine-tuned LLM endpoints (Bing works best for demonstrating, but OpenAI APIs and some open source models that are high quality like Vicuna work well). Then let it run, and use the LLM as normal. It does not like that.

Wouldn't this correlate with people with a bias for action? (both to physically go to a talk, and to take the action of creating something that would cite it)

Also, physically attending a talk shows a very strong interest in a subject, meaning you would probably already be working on some adjacent knowledge.

It's always religious extremists who want to ban speech and literature. This includes the secular religion of the DC Blob, the Spanish government and many other governments currently seeking to ban "hate speech", "disinformation" and (even more absurdly) "malinformation".
