Running groups are very welcoming, and they're only about improving yourself - it's hard to compete with most people in a running group. If you show up enough times to a regularly scheduled running group, you'll make friends by default.

You can't have a regularly scheduled event, where you spend 30-60 minutes with people just chatting about life, without starting to know them and becoming friends.
it's not an ad hom—it's shameful to truly believe that all or even just most "racist" people actively take action upon their racism, given any opportunity to do so, even when it's completely obvious that said racism-based action could be obviously traced back to the person in a position of organizational leadership such that they could take said action, and that such a person is even remotely likely to exist at the top of the Rust Foundation, and that they're just so gosh-darned racist that they impulsively act upon their racism at every possible opportunity, even in blatant defiance of basic corporate self-preservation instincts, such that there's any mere semblance of a shred of a possibility that this action was "because racism." shamefully delusional, there's no way around it.
I wrote the GP and I agree completely as far as that goes.

My point is, that's because of the lack of leaders who stands up for the values I described in the GP. The leaders on the 'left', really centrists, have adopted a 'middle way' (true to their centrist ideology), but between authoritarianism (really fascism, IMHO) and freedom.

They are bipartisan, they'll proudly tell you! They aren't standing up for those values, they've mostly abandoned them in order to not alienate the fascists. The fascist movement (lacking a better term) has displayed endless aggression, and others just let themselves be intimidated and back down.

What leader talks consistently about freedom, all people are created equal, democracy, 'liberte, egalite, fraternite', the American Dream, land of the free, etc.? What leader aggressively stands up for them and fights for them?

> And also in some ways unsatisfying, because he seems on a roll on some idea, but then he doesn't know the solution, and the proposal of hiring experts prompts nervous questions.

It’s a typical "compiler nerd" (any nerd) response. You don’t know something so you think you can outsource it to someone who has the required skills.

Which is fine in a limited sense. But if the problem is political then you might get other problems if you outsource it too much.

We definitely do care about our computing power being used to the fullest of it's potential. This is why some of us even do 2D static work in After Effects now because its faster and uses more of the machines power than PS.
> just a few years ago (ok maybe a decade) a "Software Engineer" was a person who built Software, now it's a frontend developer that has a basic understanding of the backend.

I'll cut a bit of slack to the frontend as it's also gotten significantly more complex over the last decade or so. I've seen places where frontend means "our iPhone app". Microsoft Office now has a version that runs in the browser.

Incredibly, they seem to have used several different LLMs, yet made no distinction between the particular AI models used in the analysis. Amazing that they would not realize there is a huge difference in capabilities.

They also did not seem to consider the different performance of individual prompts.

WPBT is explicitly not supported by Linux kernel. On windows side it is handled by (I may be mistaken, haven't verified that) `wpbbin.exe` binary.

https://docs.kernel.org/arm64/acpi_object_usage.html says:

> Microsoft only table, will not be supported.

(I know, it's for arm64, but there seems to be no other docs)

But, you can use your Linux kernel to see what's inside your motherboard. Check /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/WPBT, if you have one.

Yeah, I've got the same question, and I see the same trend in American political issues. There's an obvious problem, and the left-leaning want to try to solve it by either increasing power and control of one (usually governmental) group or decreasing the power and control of a group (like the police). The right leaning ones protest this desire, but tend to not provide any ideas or solutions at all. They claim the problem is unsolvable, or not a problem, or often that it doesn't even exist.

I get the paranoia, but where are your solutions? Wouldn't it be more effective to instead come up with a fix that you prefer?
That's what my gut says. Making something dynamic and alive is counter to imposing specific constraints on outputs. They're asking the ai to do its own self censoring, which in general is anti-productive even for people.

> I would love it if my local library or community group had a couple of floating drills that were of the sort that a contractor might use – a beautifully made, well-maintained work of art that would easily replace fifty minimum viable drills in my neighborhood, digitally tracked for routine maintenance and to gather telemetry that could feed into the next product design iteration to make its successors even better.

He would love this if the drill he were to borrow was (more or less) in as good of shape as his own is now. But why would that be so? Do you want to ride around in a bus that has the odor and cleanliness of the worst car you've ever seen on those gross-out subreddits?

If book lending libraries don't have to deal with this (and I concede that they mostly don't have to), then it is down to the fact that the vast majority of people are semi-illiterate quarterwits who wouldn't be caught near a book if they thought there were hundred dollar bills hidden between the pages.

It seems to me sometimes that the same people who have always used the "tragedy of the commons" as a counter-argument to any libertarianish comment I made are now turning around and wanting to force me to live that same tragedy of the commons. The pro-"you'll own nothing and like it" aren't very convincing to me, not even his "neighborhood drill" version. He's playing good cop to their bad cop, but the grift's still the same.

Is anyone currently forcing Ghana to accept these textiles?

If they really want to stop textile waste importing then why wouldn't they start with local legislation first? You don't need EU regulations to do import control

I'd understand if they'd ask for EUs help for stopping illegal imports or something to that effect, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
> On paper, the UK's Liberal Democratic Party sounds like the perfect place for people alarmed by a creepy, authoritarian state.

They were pro lockdown (even after the basis was undermined in 2021) and gain most of their MPs from local issues such as promising to stop the building of housing estates etc.

Legitimate journals (or groups of journals) might need to institute a throttling mechanism to limit the rate at which individual authors can submit papers. They might also need some kind of reputation tracking system so that reviewers can flag articles as low quality, and then future submissions by the same author will be treated as lower priority. Open access journals can raise author fees.
Your comment seems self-contradictory.

Then, lets use the 'AI' as its own proving ground.

Life just got so complicated. I tried to fight back, to have less stuff to think about, but it's an endless onslaught of abstract microtasks. No wonder that white collars dream of a homestead

These systems try to force humans to disregard their unpredictable lives, and produce with the predictability of machines. It's not right.

I'm at my happiest when I wake up without an alarm, and work on what feels right until I feel done for the day. I let the most important stuff float to the top, instead of shaming myself into satisfying my past ambitions.

Aside: This title pattern rubs me the wrong way. The rise of this, the death of that. Half the time, it's either something happening in California, or in a very small twitter circle. The other half, it has not risen, or not fallen. Its a the "it was a dark and stormy night" of headlines.
Same for me. Kayak and BizToc plugin never work. One 'Ambition' plugin I tried, worked.
I wasn't trying to understate OpenAI's contribution, far from it. I can hardly express my appreciation for their work.

That doesn't mean that everything else in the stack is window dressing though - custom, domain specific wrangling with the different api endpoints, finding a satisfying prompt, temperature param etc. for specific tasks - the entire process of designing systems around an LLM-api has many intricacies to it, lots of which are completely uncharted territory.

I can assure you: very smart people are knees deep in this process, and they deserve the credit for their share of the value that is being created.

In summary, humans win the Turing test ~2/3 of the time against current SOTA LLMs. One of the more interesting tactics used was to target a weakness of the LLMs themselves:

For example, they might have asked their chat partner to spell a word backwards, to identify the third letter in a given word, to provide the word that begins with a specific letter, or to respond to a message like "?siht daer uoy naC", which can be incomprehensible for an AI model, but a human can easily understand...

I would also add "distribution" to the "app and UX" part, but you can certainly build a valuable business upon an API "everyone else has access to" - plenty of companies out there that do that.

Your question is a bit confusing and ambiguous. I think there are multiple valid answers. Here's a local test of a less ambiguous programming question with "Wizard-Vicuna-30B-Uncensored.ggmlv3.q8_0.bin" on llama.cpp on an M1 Max laptop with 64GiB of RAM.

This model seems roughly on par with GPT-3, maybe GPT-3.5 in some cases.

> Write a function to compute the maximum, minimum, and average of an array of doubles in C.

Here is an example function in C that computes the maximum, minimum, and average of an array of doubles:

```c
void compute_statistics(double arr[], int n) {
double max = arr[0];
double min = arr[0];
double sum = 0.0;
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
if (arr[i] > max) {
max = arr[i];
} else if (arr[i] < min) {
min = arr[i];
}
sum += arr[i];
}
double avg = sum / n;
printf("Maximum: %.2f", max);
printf("Minimum: %.2f", min);
printf("Average: %.2f", avg);
}
```

To use this function, simply call it with the array of doubles and its length as arguments. For example:

```c
double arr[] = {1.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0};
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
compute_statistics(arr, n);
```

This will output:

```
Maximum: 5.00
Minimum: 1.00
Average: 3.00
```

Here are some simple logic questions:

> Compute the sum of an array of 512 elements with each element having the value 2.

The sum of an array of 512 elements with each element having the value 2 is 1024.

> Compute the sum of an array of 512 elements with each element having the value 3.

The sum of an array of 512 elements with each element having the value 3 is 1536.

Not bad.

But the UK has had airports and such protests, without the oppressive laws. It's hardly even a time of much protest or dangerous protest - compare the 1960s or 1970s. People were hijacking planes.

Political freedom is not a threat; it's not only compatible with a functioning economy, it's the source of all the highest-functioning economies in human history.
"Take all the research done in [field] and compare the papers written by N authors, and look into their citations and compare the outcomes of what was published and find where the summation of the reads of their papers as shared citations and summarize the research where they agree, disagree and compare with international organizations and their papers coming from specifically the leads in this field from countries X,Y,Z"

I understand the museum's position. However IMHO they missed an important teaching moment.

The holocaust was very much a political event, and to treat it otherwise is to excuse the broad public support that political movement had, and the widespread public participation involved.

Yes, the use in mass political* advertising can trivialize the crime by repetitive imagery, and I presume this is the origin of the stance of the museum. But it can also call out the rising risk of such a movement gaining power again.

If the memory souls who perished can be salved at all, it is to ensure that people understand the dynamics that led to what happened and ensure that it will happen nie wieder. So far the record since the end of WWII has not been encouraging in this regard.

* I do think the use of these images in non-political, non-historical contexts should be considered beyond the pale.
I think you're greatly over-exaggerating the need for battery replacement. As the owner of a 10+ year old EV sporting its original battery pack, degradation in the battery after all this time is only around 10%, not enough to make any notable difference in how I use the car. My fear that a coolant leak or blown capacitors will suddenly cause unexpected drivetrain issues is far greater than concerns about diminished range.

Plus, these batteries weigh thousands of pounds; the difficulties of shipping and keeping different models of battery packs for different cars "in stock" at battery replacement sites is far greater than the actual process of swapping packs, which generally just requires a lift, a tech and an hour of time regardless of the EV. The cost of replacing the battery is far lower than the cost of shipping that same battery. Rapid replacement isn't the problem.

It feels more likely to me that my EV at this juncture will be incapacitated by an accident or a failure unrelated to the battery than anything that might be helped by replacing the battery. I support mandatory EV battery recycling - I'd feel better knowing that, in the event the car is totaled by something unrelated to the battery, a battery with 80-90% of its original capacity is going to get recycled no matter how the car is disposed of.

I ran into this in the real world the other day. Every year, the university I work at has raised parking pass prices (while slashing parking, but that's another problem). We've gone from $80 to $260 in the last 5 years. I recently bought a 2016 Hyundai Sonata hybrid with 180,000 miles. I found out that the university offers a 15% discount to parking passes for "low emission vehicles", presumably as some sort of incentive to fight climate change or something. They referenced a list of low emission vehicles that qualify, created by a third party called LEED:

https://greenercars.org/news/list-leed-qualified-cars

I made the mistake of scrolling through this list. On the list: 2022 M850i xDrive Coupe 4.4L V8. A vehicle of pure excess, entirely unnecessary, getting 20mpg while transporting like two people. Not on the list: my 1988 Ford Bronco with a 2.9L V6 that can haul cargo, move people and dead animals, drive off-road and gets ~20 mpg.

So in the eyes of the university and LEEDS list people, it would be better for me to ditch my perfectly functional 1988 vehicle and instead purchase a brand new 2022 V8 sports coupe. This is literally just a poor person tax.
