> (..) I really wonder how far next-token-prediction can go with planning. When I think about planning I think about mapping out a possibility space, identifying trees of dependencies, assigning priorities, and then solving for some kind of weighted shortest path.

What you really do is more like: you've already formed a half-baked plan before the problem even fully registers, in one cognitive step of pulling the ready-made if somewhat fuzzy graph out of the depths of unconscious - and then you start doing all those things you mention, while trying hard not to be biased towards or anchored to that original plan-shaped blob of words, images and emotions.

I think creating that first plan ex nihilo and putting it into words is exactly what next-token-prediction can do, because that structure of options and dependencies and priorities and a path through them is something that's encoded wholesale in the latent space, and needs to be projected out of it. That's at least my understanding of what current transformer LLMs are good at - encoding every imaginable relationship between tokens and token sequences into proximity in a four- or five-digit dimensional space, and then projecting out of it on inference.

Going beyond that - beyond that first plan prototype, which may or may not be good, is getting increasingly explicit and thus increasingly hard. I think you can ultimately coax an LLM to do all the steps you listed and then some, by walking it through them like infinitely patient parent of a 3 year old - but not within the context window, so you need to split it into multiple invocations. This grows in cost superlinearly, as you'll have multiple results you need to summarize to feed into next stage, and if you're computing enough of those results then they won't fit into context window of the summarizer, so you need to add an intermediate level - and then eventually summaries may not fit in the context window of next step, so you need another intermediate level, etc. Context window is the limiting factor here.

And if you're to use LLM to emulate a mechanical/formalized process, then it's better to just extract structured information from the LLM, feed it to regular software optimized for purpose, and feed the results back. I.e. something similar to LLM+P approach - or similar to any time when you get LLM to "use tools". If it can call out to a calculator, it can just as much call out to some PERT tool to get your list of steps sorted and critical path highlighted.

On a tangent:

> identifying trees of dependencies

Are you sure those are trees? :). My pet peeve with all the hip software used to manage projects and track work in our industry, is that it treats work as decomposing into flat trees. In my experience, work decomposes into directed acyclic graphs (and in certain cases, it might be useful to allow cycles to make representation more compact). There's hardly a tool that can deal with it in work planning context, not unless you step over to "old-school" engineering (but those tools aren't cheap or well-known). Which is ironic, because at least when it comes to build systems, software devs recognize the DAG-like nature of dependencies.
The first thing is not true for many sorts of spam. For example a lot of the people who destroy google search results do it manually and even pay for domain names tp do so. It is more difficult but I would say only slightly more so. And worst of all it is likely that spsmmers are willing to pay a higher price than your genuine users. Spam can be highly profitable.

That they make you a profit is true though, but that is both good and bad. It finds your antispam work but could also create perverse incentives where you want spsmmers.
Surprisingly, we only had a couple of random submissions out of thousands.

I've added categories, subcategories, brands, colors, and sizes for users to customize their listings. Thankfully, most users are putting in a lot of effort, so moderation isn't a big issue in this area.

I set up a Telegram bot to notify me whenever a new listing is added, which helps me stay on top of things quickly. :)
I work in this area and I really dislike it when happiness is plotted against income only on a log scale, as is done here. The log scale effectively conceals the flattening-out of the relationship, which is the thing that shows you how progressive taxation + redistribution make the average person better off.

Whether it's a straight line up to $75K followed by a flat line from there on, or a curved (log) relationship all the way up, seems to me to make rather little difference.

Whether or not something is offensive almost always depends on context. Knowing your context requires careful listening and respect for those around you. This is true regardless of whether or not you use one particular term or not.

If you do not intend to be respectful, then was there ever any issue in the first place? Your disrespect will be conveyed regardless.

If you do intend to be respectful, then you will know if using it is offensive or not in your given context.
Interesting, thank you. Did not know this. Maybe my knowledge of ZFS needs some improvement :-)

Also grew up in Oregon. The comments on this are surreal in their misconceptions about what it's like.

1. Smelly hands is an issue. That's the thing I hate most about dealing with self-serve.

2. There is no tipping of gas station attendants.

3. The main bottleneck in throughput is the number of pumps, not the number of attendants. I can't recall ever being in a situation where the problem was shortage of staff.

4. All the stories I've heard about dealing with terrible staff were from Portland. I haven't been there enough to comment on that.

Oh, yes it does.
It'd be impossible to prove that the poisoning was from the lead in any one manufacturers food. Lead contaminates everything around us. Americans have been spoon feeding lead and other heavy metals directly into the mouths of their infant children for ages (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baby-food-toxins-government-rep...). Only recently has the FDA even come up with non-binding guidelines on how much poison companies can put into baby food.

The harm is cumulative, and so singling out any single company or product as the one who put you over the "tipping point" to some set of symptoms is next to impossible and any corporation you tried to take to court would likely have a team of high paid lawyers so good luck convincing a carefully selected jury.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be able to sue companies into the ground for mass poisonings, but even when we can prove a company poisoned us, AND can prove that they knew they were doing it, AND even when we can prove they tried to cover that fact up so they could make more money by doing it, companies haven't ever faced meaningful consequences. Not the tobacco industry, not DuPont, certainly not spice manufacturers.
> When that does happen , it's generally because of issues of self control, a predisposition to alcoholism or bc they tried it a few times and never got used to it

Not directly related to this. I own a CTEK one car battery charger. CTEK is not some Chinese company but a very reputable Swedish company. Their car battery chargers are very reputable.

But the CTEK one has an accompanying App. Both are connected via Bluetooth like in this reversed battery monitor. You can add the battery charger to the app only, when you have a CTEK cloud account. Just this weekend, their cloud servers had problems. So you I was unable to connect to the local device in front of me.

What I'd like to say: CTEK requires a working cloud account to access their latest device via Bluetooth from within their app.
You can call things 'language police' all you want, but assumptions are based on reality and experience, and pushing back when they are obviously true is silly.

I think this is a fairly elitist view and I disagree.

I work in application security and still have trouble understanding all the behaviours of oauth and oidc, even after reading the specs multiple times.

If I can’t understand it fully, how are you going to expect some developer who has no security or crypto background implement it correctly when nobody is there to validate the implementation?

I feel like the oauth/oidc are insecure not because of the core logic, but because the design and terminology aren’t easily understood - that complexity IS a vulnerability.
Normally I use monotonically increasing indices to avoid the 1 element issue as there is no wraparound, then use masking to map them to actual buffer positions. With non-power of two sizes it becomes a more expensive operation, so you have to wrap on increment instead.
I’ll respectfully turn down the offer of drinking responsibly for any amount of time. The best medically grounded advice at this point is that the most responsible amount of alcohol to drink is zero. If you can. But then that goes to sugar as well. But I’m already used to sugar so that’s a hard sell for me, just as I assume it’ll be a hard sell to ask you to go sober. Which I won’t suggest either. If you already drink and like it, sure the best course is to keep it to a glass or two a week and have fun.

As for the “social lubricant” argument: sure people open up more once you pour a bunch of drinks in. I’ll also take your argument that maybe they truly don’t reveal their selves to sober me (I doubt it, I’m generally cooky and have multiple times been asked “are you sure you’re not drunk?”).

Also isn’t it interesting that alcohol brings out the worst qualities in many people as well? Almost every single instance of me hearing a friend having something “inappropriate” happen to them, it was in a bar or pub and there most definitely was alcohol involved. Only over the top creeps do inappropriate things when sober. I’d rather not be in a place where the likelihood of creepy shit going down skyrockets and watch a movie instead.

But what exactly do you reckon you learn from your friends or colleagues that I don’t get to? I have a good job, which I’ve progressed through quite well, so clearly I didn’t miss out on any inside detail that could have only been gleaned professionally over a drink. I have few friends but from what I hear from many, more meaningful ones than most people. Almost always when I skip a party or pub outing the next time I meet someone they just say “yeah you didn't miss much.”

If I’m missing on some secret second life that is only accessible after you sign up to permanently imbuing this drug forever, yeah I’ll pass. Sounds like a cult and it doesn’t matter what orgy or salvation it promises. Sometimes it’s more important to keep your freedom and senses than to experience everything.
Unless you maybe want to ask for proof that they test their products for lead. That seems pretty easy.

Conversely, I would be more than highly surprised if it was. It has all the trappings of an urban myth.
> Why is it still necessary to have whole, full-blown OS filesystems inside of our containers, if their purpose is running a single binary?

It's not. This is just the path of least resistance for most container builds since many applications require various supporting files to function properly. Most of my Go containers only contain 2 files: the go binary and ca certificates.

> Dependencies/dynamic libraries are decent reason, sure. But wouldn't it make more sense to do things "bottom-up"?

In theory, yes. With dynamic loading and support for loading plugins and runtime this is virtually impossible to do. That's why starting from a base image that already includes everything you need is generally the chosen method. BSD jails/chroot operate this way and it's an absolute pain to setup for complicated applications.

The great thing about running OPNSense in a VM on a regular x86 box is it's transferability.

I'm currently upgrading my box to add an NVMe M2 SSD, so I'm moving the VM to a spare box, doing the upgrade, then moving it back. The VM itself knows nothing, no reinstall and reconfigure, minimal downtime. Easy af.

Was using pfSense for a few years until a couple of years ago, upgraded to OPNSense. The plan is to keep OPNSense for much longer than a handful hardware cycles.

It’s I my broken because our electoral system favours conservative outcomes. If we had proportional representation then many of the issues that seem impossible would suddenly become easy to solve.

Edit: in before anyone asks for evidence of favouring conservative outcomes: Boris Johnson had a landslide 80 seat majority with only 43.6% of the popular vote. PR would mean more coalition governments, but those would largely be left leaning Labour/Lib/SNP even when the conservatives have higher than historically average vote shares.
True - but lead doesn't actually perform much better than say steel, per unit weight.

>It’s even worse because there’s an adult social care crisis, a pension crisis, and in some areas a rundown NHS and school system. So all the incentives are towards not just home ownership but also additional buy-to-let ownership so that those with the means can afford private health care, dentistry, school fees for their kids/grandkids, inheritance for the kids who are priced out of the market, and retirement.

It's also about rapidly declining population and people not willing to work. The result of welfare state.

If you incentivize people to develop themselves, acquire skills and knowledge, work and make kids, then they will be able to afford housing, medical care and pensions.

Just want to add to the need of access_fine_location to scan nearby devices.
In fact scanning nearby access points or Bluetooth devices is much faster and more precise than GPS. If this sort of scanning could be done without requesting the access_fine_location permissions, it would be very misleading to the user. So I definitely understand Androids reasoning of requiring that permission.
ANC works by detecting the outside noise, deriving how these noises reach you ear and then play the antiwave so that in cancels out. The issue is that the canceling out part only works on the receiving end so there is still pressure on the eardrum even if you don't hear it.

I still think that ANC is good for the ears by reducing the needed volume in every day situations. And it also helps that most ANC headphones are designed in a way that also passively isolates the outside world to reduce the burden on the ANC and as a side effect also on your ears.
Yep, I took particular note of Max Chandler-Mather after seeing a particularly passionate and persuasive speech on housing affordability (this one: https://youtu.be/DD54fVtlUSA). Looked him up to see if he was himself a landlord, he's one of the very few that isn't.
I would recommend getting good plugs though. Bad cheap plugs make you hear nothing.

On the other hand, I have some Senner Earplugs. Those are amazing - they take away a lot of sound pressure at lower freqencies, but let most higher frequencies through. This way, you can still hear toplines, vocals, melodies clearly, but the bass + drums don't kill your ears.
It seems that software on your cell phone is collecting and sending this data, not the battery monitor device. Am I misunderstanding the title?
Not really.

Block entities (those with complex data, like inventories) can be read/interacted with by redstone (a regular-ish set of blocks in terms of data), which can then trigger a piston or dispenser (which changes the world), and said piston or dispenser can then interact with the players movement, pushing them, or hitting them with an arrow, or dispensing water that changes their movement.

Same again for non player entities, but also factor in their AI having to adjust pathing based on the world changing.

Harvard isn't about learning. It's about paying the TA. Connections and money.
Legally speaking this is incorrect.

The company can delegate people to interact with the outside world and those people have the ability to bind the company. If they mess up beyond their pay grade then the company may have recourse on them but the company may well still be bound externally.

You still have to check if the functionary is an 'authorized agent' but if they misrepresent themselves as such then the company may well have a problem if you had no reason to believe otherwise (for instance: because of their job title or because someone with signing authority delegated the interaction with you). Such 'apparent authority' (of which this may well be a case) is the source of much confusion and many lawsuits.

> LLMs are nowhere close.

We are nowhere close to even a rudimentary understanding of how current LLMs actually work. All we have are low-level building blocks, and lots of philosophizing about high-level output.

Considering that, relying on some gut feeling about what LLMs "surely cannot possibly do" is reckless overconfidence. Not to mention that the next generation of LLMs, with potentially entirely new emergent properties, might be just around the corner, and the time to put safeguards into place is now, not when it's too late.

As for the scenario, all an LLM with Internet access would need to do is find a single remotely exploitable vulnerability in the Linux network stack. That would allow it to literally shut down the entire Internet, which would kill a lot more people than a single atomic bomb.
Amusing to see this development mentioned on Hacker News, one of my best friends here in Stockholm worked as an architect for this Sickla redesign. The entire area of Nacka is under heavy development of new housing, it's a deal between the city of Stockholm and the Nacka municipality where Nacka builds housing and Stockholm foots the bill for the expansion of the tunnelbana's (metro) blue line to it.

I'm curious to see if there will be any impact to housing prices, I think the plan was to add some 50k new units until 2030, I personally believe it won't make a dent, the rise in interest rates from Riksbanken seems to have had a much major impact in housing prices than any new development done in the past 10 years.
