What distinguishes a transformation function like a human (20+ years of education with different input->output) vs a transformation function of a computer? (20k hours of training->output)

What about musician training? Movie directors?
I cancelled a Model 3 order and went with an EV6. My reasons:

- quality concerns (which possibly are overstated for the average purchase)

- worries over phantom braking

- V2L

- CarPlay

- I was swayed by Elon's politics, but that likely wouldn't have mattered if it had been a slam dunk decision for me.

- Supercharger network is a lesser concern for me, as I own my home. I did do a road trip from Houston to San Diego and back. As far as I could tell, between major cities, EA vs Supercharger coverage was equivalent along the relatively unpopulated stretches of I-10 and I-8

However, given the price differential now vs then, I would likely go for a low mileage used Model 3 now.
Hmmm... I'd day restoring a bad review would be even more suspicious. Let them come naturally and don't delete them - unless the company reconsiders the benefits of premier, that is.
Varies by state in the us. Some require two mirrors and one must be outside on the left. Some are similar but on the right. Some states you need two outside if the one inside is blocked.
Tesla might ‘open source more code’ to other automakers

Mileage varies between cameras, but one small warning to anyone considering this if they spend even a couple of hours a day in meetings with the camera on from time to time - the sensors in some DSLRs/mirrorless models can overheat while live streaming and your video will cut out.

Most of them were only specced to record up to 30 minute clips at a time in original guise and are passively cooled, so running for an hr or more can push the sensors beyond their original specifications etc. I've had this happen rarely with some m43 cameras I use as webcams via an HDMI capture card. There's a ton of youtube videos on this topic with all sorts of homemade cooling setups:

It's a good thing that the skills involved in making fire by hand don't transfer to disciplines that matter. The same cannot be said for arithmetic and writing.
Exact figures are hard to come by, but vary from 60-85%; Steam says around 75%[1]. NVIDIA proprietary drivers were immensely popular on both Linux and BSD in the early 2000s when I first got into Linux, and having tried the then-closed source ATI drivers a singular time, I can absolutely attest to why: ATI and NVIDIA were basically the only serious desktop GPU options at the time, and the closed source, I believe Catalyst? drivers were as good as junk. Almost everything about them screamed fucking useless. For a really long time, they defaulted to setting multihead systems up with multiple X displays instead of Xinerama by default, which is so unbelievably user-hostile; it sounds okay on paper, but if you've ever used X with multiple separate displays, you'll understand that it stopped making sense literally the moment Xinerama existed, and it was already quite a thing the late 90s. But after I set up Xinerama, the problems continued into every other aspect of the desktop. In that era, where you pretty much always needed discrete graphics, NVIDIA was your Linux option. No doubt that it's going to change so as long as NVIDIA's Linux desktop support continues to stagnate, or at least stagnate moreso than it adapts.

(I have not used NVIDIA on Linux as a daily driver for five years. I tried it again when the open source kernel driver came around, but quickly switched back after realizing it still wasn't stable enough in Sway or KDE.)

Maybe. Or maybe marine biologist Dr. Renaud de Stephanis is right and they are playing.

Even if the error rate of LLMs decreases with additional GPU power there's little rhyme or reason to their confabulations. Even if only 1% of the code is in error there's no guidance or pattern to where those errors might be.

It's like reviewing an overconfident junior developer's code except you can't learn their particular weaknesses. If a developer is bad about memory leaks, you know to check their every PR for memory leaks. An LLM won't necessarily produce the same types of errors given similar prompts or even the same prompt with some period of time between invocations.
This is true, and I know there is sometimes such a convention. However, I can't find it in the guidelines, and I thought it better to preserve the original title as best as possible with 79 characters before someone ekse truncated the title.

They output the most likely token (unless I'm mistaking) which means tools like ChatGPT are the ultimate prior art machines. They answer what is the most parallel amongst similar sources.For example, when I ask ChatGPT to build a state machine, the state machine it attempts to build is the sum of all prior art not any one specific copyrighted machine.
There actually exists an insane project by some madmen that implements a modern OoO 68k-compatible core. It has a typical IPC north of 3! (compared to a real 68k, which is lucky to have an IPC of 0.3 on a good day). It is truly a work of marvel!

I share my desktop (single windows and/or whole desktop) at least once every day. Usually with Google Meet in Firefox, but also with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. I don't need remote access to my desktop or laptop (windowing system) though. SSH is just fine for me.
I wish the idea of shortest distance isn't always the fastest or most convenient distance. I hope Google Maps can do this. I get frustrated that it keep giving shortest distance with lots of turns. Does anyone know?
And thus eliminate the reason many (if not most) of these books and webpages existed in the first place.

This may be fair in the short term, but on a longer timescale, it leaves us worse off unless LLMs master reasoning about and being creative with things not in their training set. Possible, but a crapshoot right now.
Evil Is Rising, but Despair Is Not an Option
Imagine someone built a 100 trillion parameter model, Greg, who is a personal assistant. Greg had a context length of a billion tokens, and he can search the web and tell you what he's found. His memory is so good that he can quote verbatim the full text of anything he's read. It's not even compression, it's just straight up storage. Should you have to pay royalties to everyone whose content you ask Greg to look at?

What if Greg isn't an llm and he's your browser cache? Are you still infringing copyright?
You make a decent point. There's a clear limitation... but a clearly worded prompt often produces more valuable content than an SEO optimized guess article.
Building it yourself is the better option nowadays.

Now here's an opinion I don't care about.
In the context of slavery, when the slave owner tells a slave what to do, and they don't fight back, I wouldn't call that peace.

In the context of Taiwan, I wouldn't call China's coercion of Taiwan peace even though guns aren't firing.

In the context of Ukraine, I wouldn't call the period after Russia's invasion of Ukraine to seize Crimea "peace" even though it was just "little green men" walking into Crimea.

I wouldn't call the south china sea situation peaceful.

So you're unwittingly making the point I'm making.

I am not redefining any words, the reference in my head points to a different idea altogether. To me, you are redefining peace in the same way to you I am redefining peace. Both of us came into this conversation with the word peace being an indirect reference to a different idea. For me it's an indirect reference to the idea of justice. For you it's an indirect reference to lack of violence.

When I try to answer if a situation is peaceful, I try to estimate the injustice. When you try to determine if a situation is peaceful, you look for the amount of physical violence. That means to me oppression/coercion is violence, but you might be the type of person to justify oppression because to fight oppression means to violate "peace."

The idea of what word references what idea is a social process. So if you want to communicate or achieve understanding, you have to understand what the ideas represented by various words are. That's why so many philosophical conversations start with "well how do you define ____?" "how would we test that definition?".

> "if we don't get justice, we will not be peaceful"

So it leads us to different understandings, because the way I read it, they feel attacked and are saying if there is not justice we will defend ourselves. "no justice, no peace" -> "if there is not justice, there cannot be peace" -> "we will fight for justice".

Your phrasing emphasizes the lack of peacefulness. My phrasing emphasizes the lack of justice.

Why is it a "catch phrase" to you, but a "battle cry" to me? What do those words betray about the ideas that exist in our heads.

What happens if two people in geographically distinct locations learn different definitions for words. What happens if people in Florida learn that the definition of "woke" is "a crazy liberal idea" while the people in California learn that the definition of woke is "understanding systemic racism." The word "woke" literally points to a different idea based on the social context you grew up in. The idea of peace is different if the social context that taught you vocabulary is one of being the oppressor rather than one of being oppressed. To the oppressor, peace is violated when someone doesn't want to be oppressed anymore. To the oppressed, peace is violated when someone used the threat of force in a bid to control them.
Seems slightly easier for me to guarantee something I wrote halts. The halting problem is more about a process analyzing someone else's arbitrary code.
“If you don’t believe what I believe, you listened to cranks” isn’t a terribly compelling argument.

They went through the same process yes. That does not make taking a brand new COVID vaccine in the height of a hyper-politicized pandemic the same as taking the for example MMR vaccine that has been used for decades. There are all kinds of reasons to be skeptical of the former more than the latter that need not be driven by crankery, and you’re only undermining your presumed desire to appear on the side of science by suggesting otherwise.
Interesting parallels , there is good possibility for this outcome with respect to Open Source LLMs

> I can however see a possible future where open source is not going to have any significant impact on LLMs, say like Desktop Linux.

If you want easy and simple, use Render, fly.io, etc. Those cover 90% of the cases K8s be damned.

I hope that there would be less drama but the quality will remain the same.

I'm in his (extremely long) black list, but I really admire the project and use GrapheneOS. And I would prefer to keep the drama if that helps the quality to be high.
It was great pre-2010-ish, and before it was compromised by its business model and subsequent acquisition; but those were always inevitable.

Consider the proportion of GD's revenue from employer premium subscriptions vs from jobseekers (job listings, profile views). When there's lots of hiring, the jobseeker-related revenue will prevent the worst excesses. But in a downturn, there's less disincentive to not live off charging employers premium for reputation-washing.

[It's not easy running a for-profit technical jobs board, let alone doing it ethically and delivering growth; StackOverflow Jobs was sadly killed off in 2022. One of SO Jobs's innovations (other than almost zero on-site advertising) was it allowed you directly interact with the hiring mgrs, so you'd skip days/weeks of non-technical preliminary interviews.]

> The impression I get is that if they get resold through Tesla, Tesla is removing it

The premise is that Tesla offers more for trade-ins for cars that have free lifetime SC and things like "Full Self Driving". They optionally disable these add-ons for new users because they're recapturing the expense of their higher trade-in offers for the cars that have them.

Yes, they're making a profit in the process, but what used car dealer doesn't?
Good question! A key use for this type of analysis is that it acts as an upper bound on transformers, rather just demonstrating "transformers are like logic". That is, it allows us to fairly easily identify problems that transformers cannot solve. Some examples are graph connectivity, linear programming, various forms of state tracking, etc.

Definitely finding negative results like this is tough by just doing experiments, since it could be that the model might have succeeded if you had just trained it for more time/made it bigger/etc.

Our prior paper discusses how this works more in depth: https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.00729
The argument for these ethics classes being mandatory in the CS curriculum is that they will prevent unethical behavior in industry. The article demonstrates the classes aren't even effective at preventing unethical behavior in the same classroom they're taught in. Waste of time.
I am sorry but you make a real tour-de-force out of how they are the victim of going to a site that is meant to facilitate cheating by looking up answers to exams, not learning.

You learn by knowing the material, and if you know the material, you don’t have to cheat

Now you can come up with all kind circumstances that make it hard on the students, as you do in your comment, but that’s another discussion entirely and imo outside the scope.
It's not a "labor shortage." It's a "companies don't want to pay people what they're worth" problem.

Cheers for posting this. That’s my site! It’s very cool how he learned to code so quickly as well. I’m glad Benjamin can share his story with everyone.

So many people want to learn languages as well so it’s a huge market to sell to. Very smart.

For all y'all saying "I'm still using X because Wayland isn't ready"... this is your reminder that X is DEPRECATED. The entity committing resources to maintaining it -- Red Hat -- has abandoned it and committed to Wayland only going forward. Unless another entity steps up with funding, X is doomed to bit rot and Wayland is the future. The responsible thing to do is to suck it up, file bug reports, and write code and/or documentation to improve the Wayland side of things because that's where the money and developers are -- period.

(And before you slag off Red Hat, remember that they are the Atlas holding up the entire Linux userland ecosystem for the past couple decades or so now.)
Did the original paper come out before they realized "the hat is actually one of an infinite family of aperiodic tiles"? Because I feel like the team really missed out on a PR opportunity by going with a "hat" over an APERIODIC MONOTURTLE.
He basically said the quiet part loud.
I also recently did just this without any problems. A minor wait after the Kraken game for the monorail, but I took my sweet time getting there and it was only a 10-15 min wait.
And yet it still digs straight down.
What's with the anti-human attitude? Sounds like a lot of the commenters here would rather kill 1000 humans (but of course not you or your family or your friends, maybe just some Spanish fishermen?) than the same number of orcas.
Because organizations rely on internal communication, and remote/on-site/hybrid each require very different processes to manage work and internal communications.

If all your organization processes are set up to work well for on-site, then the effectiveness of the remote people in your organization will hurt; if all your organization processes are set up for remote interactions, then the overheads of that don't make sense for the on-site people sitting next to each other; and if some units are fully on-site and some are fully remote, each with different style of working, then you might as well have two separate organizations with vendor/contractor relationship, that would be more efficient as their collaboration anyway have to be managed that way.
What's up in the Python community? – May 2023
I'm pretty sure it exceeds the accuracy of the original experiment. I think not being based on a trough of mercury is pretty important as well. But the manual shows several types of interferometers that can be built in lab courses.
A novel about video games became a surprise best seller
If I listen to 1000 pop songs and then write my own that's different from all of them, that's not copyright infringement. If I listen to 1000 pop songs and then write one that's nearly exactly the same as one of them, that absolutely is copyright infringement and I would most likely lose a lawsuit. The fact that I listened to 999 other songs does not absolve me of the infringement.

Most modern neural nets, and certainly LLMs, are overparameterized, which means they are completely capable of regurgitating exact training instances. They can and do repeat copyrighted training data verbatim. It's absolutely copyright infringement when that happens.

I anticipate AI researchers will soon come up with a way to ensure that outputs are a sufficient distance from all training inputs -- to essentially "block" direct regurgitation as valid output, with a tunable "max similarity" set to a safe distance. At that point we can start being more confident that our AI output is genuinely transformative and safe from (valid!) lawsuit.

> The bitching from writers and musicians reflects not that they're being ripped off, but that they're being out-produced.

This comes across as quite heartless. It will be interesting to see whether your view on this changes when AI starts making obsolete whatever you have spent your life specializing in.
Still not telling the good side then?

We're talking global control here so displacement is not that far fetched.
Just like BBB. I'm not sure why people think it's some kind of government agency.
The "AI Winter" was largely caused by people realizing building better logic, chess, or similar analytical engines proves to be a poor model for human like intelligence. The current renaissance is due to Machine Learning / Deep Learning based essentially on statistical models.

In the specific context of language there was a famous debate between Chompsky and Norvig that touches on these themes: http://norvig.com/chomsky.html

I believe events of recent years have not been kind to Chompsky's side of this debate. I'm less bullish on large language models turning into AGI than many people here, but I think if we do develop AGI it's a certainty it will be a based on probabilistic models, not logically consistent formalisms alone.
Motte and Bailey, broad claim is all copyright is destroyed and no production will be done, narrow claim is it’s disruptive economically that the AI gets to look at webpages.
I don't belive the richness of culture would diminish in any way, and I can see a case that it would increase. Imagine that all the effort that goes to milking tired movie and song copyrights to extract value went into new stuff. Things might look slightly different, but I don't see that they could be worse.

Existing domains stopped working too, I lost the one I've been using for 10+ years :(

The most annoying part is there has been zero communication from Freenom - not a single email. They also never replied when I asked what was going on.
I spend a lot of time experimenting with atypical tunings that wouldn't be captured in a dropdown, and I could see this being really a useful tool for learning my way around tunings where there isn't much existing repertoire to pull from. It's a super niche usecase though, you'd probably cover 99% of players needs with just Standard, drop d, DADGAD, open C and maybe open D.
In the US, Copyright is not viewed as a natural property right but a contingent property interest for the limited purpose of promoting “the progress of science and useful arts”.

Pointing out that a major advancement would be foreclosed by a proposed interpretation of the scope of copyright law is an argument that that interpretation is either an incorrect interpretation of the statute or an area where the statute conflicts with its Constitutional purpose.

Of course, the Globe and Mail is Canadian, but, is Canadian law the applicable governing law here?
Or what if Greg is a human with eidetic memory?

Identifying the gut bacteria that threaten neonatal babies
After reading about Gert-Jan Oskam, 40, who was able to walk after being paralyzed using a "wireless interface" with the help of AI. It makes me think changing bacteria and using AI might be of incredible use in gut research to identify common patterns. p.s article does not state use of AI, just an observation.
