FWIW, Jim Gray's Petrified Wood Company has a vast supply of this stuff you can buy and take home. It's right down the road in Holbrook. Very interesting store even if you're not planning to buy anything. (No working website that I could find. Google it. I have no connection with them.)

You can keep a window bright and “natural” while not completely blowing it out tbh. Horizon lines shouldn’t be tilted without intent, such as making the viewer feel uneasy. As for CA, yeah some people worry too much about that now, but most people don’t care or notice even subconsciously.
A pro guitar player just has Gibson or Fender do a signature guitar so they can use their name to sell them and then get them for free. I wonder the last time anybody from... say... Metallica has actually had to buy gear. Just get it from the manufacturers so they can say that James Hetfield from Metallica uses it.
Indeed an “entertainer” who “challenges our relationship with the truth” would be a good description of Trump.

This isn’t a glib comparison, as it gets to the heart of what is so wrong with letting public figures slide by with the excuse that they shouldn’t be taken literally. I can attest that many close relatives of mine literally believe the 2020 election was stolen b/c Trump says so. And as for Geller, he’s nothing special as a magician — his blurring of the actually true line is the very essence of his undering appeal.

Declining achievement levels, the perfectly horrible results in inner city schools, and the disparities between different racial groups.
I do similar with K8S and RBAC. The most common action in a repo is going to be to update a deployment with a new image or resource config, so that’s all it can do.

Still need a more permissive role to manage the cluster in other ways but you can isolate that and limit access to its repo.
What's the gist? How does it relate?
I don’t doubt the poster was telling the truth when they said they asked for a summary of the book and didn’t get one.

It refutes the idea that chatgpt’s inability to provide a summary means it didn’t scan the original text: since it can provide a summary, the argument is entirely spurious.
I'm not entirely up to speed on US law, but wouldn't OpenAI have to provide the court some kind of proof that they didn't use it in the training data during discovery?

Ever notice how it's a small set of phenotypes among dogs that are chosen as high level working dogs, e.g. police dogs?

Why do we insist academic pursuits are equally available to everyone if we only throw enough resources at them?

Any selective program, music, athletics, military has a minimum entry level they're willing to accept. They know you can't turn a random person into an elite musician, athlete, or soldier.

Why does academia have to pretend that academic talent is evenly and randomly dispersed?
Consumers require the end result, we (as a collective) generally don't care how we get it.

I want my home to have electricity - that doesn't require that it comes from a coal plant spewing fly ash and carbon into the air. That decision is made by someone who stands to gain less money if the transition to cleaner sources is made.

> The parents working at a Chinese restaurant can’t invest the time it takes to get a kid to be world class in some instrument or sport.

Plus those are explicitly peacocking, in the sense of being a burden on the rest of your life while having very little chance of being useful to you, other than as a flex to get into an elite college. Very very few people make a living of any kind in sports or in music.

Having been that Chinese restaurant kid myself I can promise you it would have been an extraordinarily expensive way to get an education, in comparison to just studying the same old academic books.
Maybe off topic, but I'd love to know more about those "practical" reasons for having two green bits in the Bayer system. I guess to your point, they needed four readings and might as well double up on the band humans have more cones to detect.

But also I wonder how those kinds of decisions end up coloring so to speak AI. Training a model on image compression designed to fool the human eye is basically forcing it to reverse engineer the human eye.
What are the odds that 5 doctors will do that?

Furthermore, what are the odds that an ensemble of 100 models whose output is ranked / voted / etc will be wrong?

What if we used LLMs to guide the search and ask questions / order and rank exams and analyses?

This brings us to the bitter lesson, we can scale LLMs and compute far far far better than we can scale humans.

As long as we can use compute to scale search and learning from data, we will keep making progress.

Chess was unsolvable, Go was unsolvable, Starcraft was unsolvable. We will get there.
We had superhuman diagnosis systems 50 years ago!

> Mycin was never actually used in practice. This wasn't because of any weakness in its performance - in tests it outperformed members of the Stanford medical school. It was as much because of ethical and legal issues related to the use of computers in medicine - if it gives the wrong diagnosis, who do you sue?

Same here. I organized a trip to a VR center for the entire team at work.

Well, based on observations we know that the sun doesn't rise or set; the earth turns, and gravity and our position on the surface create the impression that the sun moves.

There are two things that might change- the sun stops shining, or the earth stops moving. Of the known possible ways for either of those things to happen, we can fairly conclusively say neither will be an issue in our lifetimes.

An asteroid coming out of the darkness of space and blowing a hole in the surface of the earth, kicking up such a dust cloud that we don't see the sun for years is a far more likely, if still statically improbable, scenario.

LLMs, by design, create combinations of characters that are disconnected from the concept of True, False, Right or Wrong.

Harvard's reputation is absolutely diminished, you can ask around millenials/zoomers to get a sense of true harvard rep.

STEM types absolutely dont wanna go to harvard for example - why try to push there and deal with bs of racial discrimination? if you can get better engineering education at CMU/MIT/Caltech, heck even Ohio State has pretty decent engineering progam
if someone I knew said they read a book, even a very obscure one, and then summarized it to me, I'd have great confidence that they would get such simple facts as "who are the characters" and "what are the major plot points" correct.

People, especially people you know, have reputations, based on history and experience that others have dealing with them. People can be known as liars, and anything they say is colored by such a reputation. Humans have language idioms for communicating about and dealing with such people too, phrases like "take anything that person says with a grain of salt". Look at how George Santos' history of lying about his own experience is being dealt with.

ChatGPT can be (is?) the same, and it has a bad reputation for truth telling. And LLMs' reputation is not necessarily getting better in this regard.

The problem is that many people attribute output that came from a machine to be of higher quality (on whatever axis) than output that came from a human, even a human they personally know and have experience dealing with. This is the same kind of prejudice as any other, or perhaps a more insidious prejudice.
I for one am quite happy that AI folks are basically treating copyright as not existing. I strongly hope that the courts find that LLM weights, and the datasets are "fair-use" or whatever other silly legal justification.

Aaron Swartz was a saint.

Neither does bucket sort, and nobody has claimed that bucket sort is constant in time.

We only count comparisons in typical sorting algorithms because we know that the overall complexity is proportional to it.
Making an analogy where you substitute a human being for the LLM is disingenuous to the extreme.

What you're describing is authoritarianism, not communism. Authoritarian communists certainly exist, but there are plenty of anarcho-communists who directly oppose anyone having absolute power, including themselves.
Sometimes the medium itself is thought-terminating, like IRC and all its offspring (including Matrix):

- It's basically impossible to have more than one productive discussion going at any time.

- There's no threading (or threading is a mostly half-baked ignored niche feature, like in Matrix), so 90% of answers are followed by everybody else just guessing which comment they answered.

- You need to seize the moment to keep the other participants engaged and to avoid confusing readers (see above), so quick answers rather than thoughtful ones are more likely to get a follow-up.
There's no such thing, as RISC-V memory operations are very consciously explicit load/store instructions.

Languages are turing-complete.

Tools are not.

Or more simply, while you _can_ screw in a star drive screw with a very improperly used hex driver, you probably shouldn't.
It's the latter. The current approach is akin to throwing the entire internet at the foundational model, train it for an epoch or two, and that's that. Afterwards, the finetuning with curated training material, and techniques like RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) takes place.

The sources of the training material are... questionable, to say the least. There's a reason the training dataset for GPT 3.5 and 4 remains undisclosed.
You can't improve that much on the SAT. Anyone can buy the online test prep courses and study them. They aren't going to turn a knuckle dragger into a genius, they're just going to maximize an individual within their band and remove the penalties for lack of familiarity with the test context.

HTML was spawned from SGML and HTML predates XML. The only XML ancestry was later on when a couple of versions of HTML were rewritten to be based on XML (XHTML which was eventually abandoned), but even then it needed a lot of backwards compatible escape hatches, and was only valid XML with strict modes etc.

This is something I've been told multiple times about power tools and tools from several people: Be ready to spend around $100 - $200 to get something you won't really hate. Drills, wrench sets, tools. Then wear that thing out, or use it long enough to learn why it's not enough. This in turn will teach you what you want from a more expensive thing.

Like, I have a simple battery powered drill in that price range. It's wonderful to use for everything in the flat or putting furniture together. It also taught me what an expensive Makita drill could do and why I won't need it.

In a similar way, I'm fully aware my bass and guitar are on the cheaper end of the spectrum. But hell, watching what Ola or Bernth or Herman Li can do on cheap pieces of crap... And eventually I might outgrow them and figure out what I need next.
I don't know about "tons" but Wikipedia says a highway built in 1980 revealed more fossils on the site.
Right. So, when swapping pages back into RAM, a typical OS will not actually remove the pages from swap despite them now being in RAM as well? So if the memory needs to be freed again for another purpose before the pages in memory have been modified in the interim, the OS can just drop the pages from RAM without having to write them into swap again?

And thus thrashing causes more swap writes when there's limited swap space.

That's the only scenario I can think of. I didn't think about pages not being removed from swap when swapping in.

> I've seen a server with 850/860 Evos

Well, that's desktop-grade hardware in a server. Might work, but if it doesn't, you get what you asked for.

> and LUKS (so the worst case: cheap drives and all writes are new)

How does LUKS affect that?

> people are forgetting what 3MB/s * 3600 * 24 is whooping 259GB a day, and you need to write ~259GB a day for 3 years to totally deplete the [official] write endurance (YssdMV).

Right, this was my point. That's not an impossible amount of writes but it is a lot more than almost anybody does on a laptop/desktop.
Yeah! We made our own landing site using our own tool. That was pretty fun to do.

Asking the AI to edit things on the page is really fun. It's crazy what changes it can make with such little context.

For example the form where you input your business name and description. We just gave the AI a prompt of "turn this section into a form that posts to https://... with a business name and description" and it gave us exactly that, first try.

It is worth knowing that Uri released a very expensive limited autographed DVD set that showed how he would do it "if" he was using various tricks. Needless to say, the effects he teaches are exactly what he performs on stage and television. It's no stretch to understand that they are his genuine methods, and he didn't go out of his way to learn how to fake his own real ESP.

His claims are his act. Magicians and mentalists all know his act is being in character all the time. Quite a few of them don't like that, and regularly speak out against it. But there is nobody in that circle thinking "well, maybe he actually does have ESP!" like there was during Randi's day.

There is a reason Uri hangs around with magicians and mentalists, and not psychics. He doesn't have psychic powers and doesn't actually lump himself into that category, except as the character we all know of him.

In other news, Teller can actually speak! Consider the similarities, as even though we all know he can speak, he still doesn't go out of character when he is with Penn. We suspend our disbelief knowing that he actually can speak (and many of us have heard him) yet doesn't in that character.

Similarly, [don't read this paragraph if you don't like spoilers] Derren Brown always pretends to explain his mentalism effects. Although his explanations are plausible, and sometimes true for effects where he leaves huge parts unexplained, his explanations are nearly never exactly what he actually did. For example, the Red BMX Bicycle episode - it was straight forward billet work. All the encoding of words was for the TV audience. In "the biz" it is called Dual Reality - the participant and the audience are reacting to slightly different observations.
Ah, got it. That makes sense.

Very reasonable tradeoff for an application server, which is embarrassingly parallel and holds little state.
This response does not actually address the thrust of my comment. How is Apple able to put out very high quality hardware, even as it uses the same few factories that others use?

> I could read the book and offer a summary right? Someone on goodreads could as well. Why should an AI doing it be different?

We have to stop equating human beings to for-profit corporations running a machine at orders of magnitude the speed and scale. This is critical, otherwise we don’t have any arguments against – say a mass face recognition surveillance op because “humans can remember faces too”. Scale matters, just like it did before “AI” with things like indiscriminate surveillance “it’s just metadata” or “this location data set is just anonymized aggregates”.

> This doesn't seem like copyright infringement.

Now, I still think I agree with this. A book summary is nevertheless an extremely poor battle to pick, since frankly who the hell cares. It’s not like someone is gonna say “I’m not buying this book anymore because ChatGPT summarized it”.

Now, perhaps they just used the summary to prove that their book was part of the training set, and that they think it’s wrong to include their works without permission. That’s, imo, definitely not trivial to dismiss. Looks like unpaid supply chain to me.

It probably goes a long way to explain things if you know that Watch launched while Ahrendts was SVP of Retail at Apple. She came from Burberry, a luxury fashion retailer, and clearly had a vision for Apple Stores that was not compatible with the high throughput & demand they regularly get.
I understood how one-sided discovery is problematic in paper-asset markets. I think this is a big reason we are seeing efforts to shut down decentralized exchange. Decentralized exchange prohibits censored price discovery. Orders must execute in public by nature of the systems. Now from what I understand, if the order is big enough to cause major market impact it goes to dark pools, or other frontrunning/delay measures are executed in private via contractual negotiations. Interesting that this is also similar in borrowing markets, thanks for that context.

What're your plans regarding OpenGL support? Is that something you care about or not at all?

The current state being that wgpu supports it, and as such we can already use it in bevy by setting the wgpu back-end env variable, but in bevy it only works for 2D stuff (trying the 3D examples of bevy lead to a Naga error because, IIRC the PBR stuff uses features that cannot work in OpenGL or something like that).

(If you tell me that OpenGL is something you want to support and it's just an oversight, I can file an issue on github with much more details, and would even be willing to contribute)
