I’ve tried to find something like this multiple time over the past years, but it seems browsers do their best to protect bookmarks from extensions

It seems the only way are tools that directly edit each respective browsers setting files (ie from the command line) but I’d rather not go down that path.
Maybe so that if you live in a house where the "street address" doesn't actually match the street you're on, because 1950s town planning conflicts with 1590s town planning, the delivery driver can phone you before your "Special Mixed Kebab" - a bulging 16" pizza box full of doner, kofta, shaslik, shawerma, fried chicken, burgers, pakora, four Naan breads and half a litre of hummus, for 25 quid - gets cold?

Wow, mine (M1 MBA) is less than one second. I either use command+tab or the trackpad. I’d be crossed too if it took that long for me.
Very cool demo. Highlight.io is a super visual tool and we've used that in demos and such as well!
Why is that inherently a problem? Some people will always learn/advance quicker than others in just about any are of life for a variety of reasons. The only way to "solve" that problem generally would be some very dystopian form of social control.

yeah, what tipped you off, the fact that they're trying to keep them fueled at great cost? i'm glad a real sherlock holmes like you is on the case.
Chipotle is definitely not a small business.
That’s quite different from my experience using QR menus, which at least here in the UK are often just a (rather pointless) link to the PDF menu that the restaurant already had. It’s only in the case of medium sized chains that you get sent to some random website where you can order things.

Projected Enterprise Blockchain Adoption
I'm always incredibly skeptical of any set of tweaks that is supposed to take off-the-shelf software and make it more private (how?) or secure (from what?). I'm sure some of these tweaks do that, but can't help but think they increase your attack surface over all (unless you have the time to read and think carefully about each settings change- in which case, you probably could have just changed the settings yourself).

I work for a POS company and yeah, it's crazy how much more complex something like this is than you think at first.

Another wrinkle that wasn't covered in this post: variable pricing.

What I mean by that can best be explained with this example: You have a S/M/L pizza but the additional toppings are priced differently for the S vs M vs L ($0.50, $1, $2). But you probably want a "Toppings" option set with choices like "Sausage, Tomatoes, etc" that's reusable across all your pizzas (for stock/reporting purposes). Also you want to be able to mark a topping as out of stock and have it apply to all your pizzas. So how do you handle the price differences? Remember this 1 option (Size) modifying the pricing for a totally different option (Toppings). Also you might want to set this on a per-pizza basis, since you also need to modify the "Toppings" option to include "Beef, Sausage, and Pepperoni" for free on the "Meat Lovers" and you also need to have some kind of handling for "2-Topping pizza" where you get 2 toppings for free then have to pay for any extras.

Another fun concepts is bundles. Maybe you want to offer a pizza+2-Liter or 2 2-Toppings pizza deal. All of it gets extremely complicated very quickly. Even more fun is finding a way to translate your internal menu structure into something DoorDash/etc can understand and let me tell you, it will /not/ be a 1-to-1 mapping.

Sure, for something like variable pricing you could just say "screw it" and make all additional toppings $2/each (let's pretend that's what they cost on the Large) that way you are always doing as good or better than your normal POS or you could "flatten" all your menu items so you end up shipping "Small Pizza", "Medium Pizza", etc over to DoorDash (Don't forget, you have to do that for every pizza then unflatten it on the way back into your system). Don't get me started on how DoorDash does testing, they literally use their live site for testing. There is a town in Alaska where they add your demo location to and they give you a login with a card on file that they just refund at the end of the day or something like that. It's super janky.

I think it is not difficult to decide: sometimes you want to reference an entity with its current state, some other times you mean with the properties that it has at a specific point in time.

For example if I don't pay yearly tax on my car I will receive a fine. The fine may arrive one or two year later, but it should be sent to me even if I sold the car meanwhile, because what matters is that I was the owner at the time.
On the other side, the fine should be sent to my current address, not the one I had when I forgot to pay.

There a number of ways to handle this. The simplest is to make a copy of the data, but you can also decide to keep all the historical data and reference the state during a certain time interval. Both can be valid choices, depending on the context, frequency of change, number of references....
> It doesn't. Hallucination in this context means 'an unfounded or mistaken impression or notion'.

Correct. Which, as near as I can tell, isn't the correct characterization of what's happening with LLMs.

> But there's another side that seems to be terrified that LLMs could be anything resembling intelligent

I certainly have no such fear. I say that only to indicate that my biases are not of that sort.
And what, exactly, do you expect administrators to do? They don't have any actual knowledge and if they do, they absolutely do NOT want to use it, so tests are out. There are now more administrators than teaching staff. We're not far off from having more "social" workers in schools than teachers.

First and foremost, these people want to decide what is equitable. Firstly, without taking actual ability (or "conscientiousness", how much effort kids are willing to put in), and secondly, they're human. They're corrupt.
I'm sorry about your friend. It's shameful that you're being silenced on HN for mentioning this.
There's a few prompts that I use with every model to compare them. One of the simplest ones is:

> When does the bowl of the winds get used in the wheel of time books?

LLaMA2 fails pretty hard:

> The Bowl of the Winds is a significant artifact in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. It is first introduced in the third book, "The Dragon Reborn," and plays a crucial role in the series throughout the rest of the books. The Bowl of the Wines is a powerful tool that can control the winds and is used by the Aes Sedai to travel long distances and to escape danger. It is used by the male Aes Sedai to channel the True Power and to perform various feats of magic.

For what it's worth Bard is the only model that I've seen get this question correct with most others hallucinating terrible answers. I'm not sure what it is about this question that trips LLMs up so much but they produce notably bad results when prompted with it.

> Please write a function in JavaScript that takes in a string as input and returns true if it contains a valid roman numeral and false otherwise.

Is another test that I like, which so far no LLM I've tested passes but GPT-4 comes very close.

Here LLaMA2 also fails pretty hard, though I thought this follow up response was pretty funny:

> The function would return true for 'IIIIII' because it contains the Roman numeral 'IV'.
> I wish the protobuf library wasn't awful

I’m curious what you don’t like about it? I haven’t used Go in anger, but I love protobufs, and it’s shocking that Go, of all languages, would have a substandard implementation.
Edge provides a compelling alternative that is a drop-in replacement for Chrome for most users. I wonder if the competition will keep Google in check. I also wonder if Edge will end up providing its own ad-blocker if Google's restrictions become too onerous. Probably easier than forking the core browser to maintain a parallel build without the extension limitations.
It's always much faster to check out with a couple of things in a New York bodega/deli, even while making small talk with the clerk, than to check out with the same items at the chain drugstore down the street.

i'm disappointed by the amount of concern trolling in the replies here. i'm not sure whether it's people can't tell that this is humorous/exaggerated or that they are just dismissive of people with hobbies/interests different from their own.
Can you say more? How are you involved in such projects? Are you a developer? Investor? Carpenter? What's your story and how did you get there? If you're interested, I'd be happy to chat with you on the phone and then write a blog post about it... I guess an interview!
The copyright mafia came to IA and said "it's a nice archive you got going on here, it would be a shame somebody filed a lawsuit accusing you of copyright infringement and letting all this work of decades be shut down... but of course some arrangements could be made to prevent this from happening, if you're reasonable". It's not about knowledge, it's about power, and the copyright mafia has a lot of it.
> And unfortunately the "critical" ecosystem on youtube and social media makes this even worse, when films are torn apart by people who can't read subtext and misinterpret the views of a character for the views of a writer.

Or worse, confuse the character as-written with the actor performing that role. I'm sure this happened before the internet, but people couldn't reach out and send vitriol towards the actor quite as easily. I still remember when Anna Gunn got a bunch of hate mail for "being mean to Walt". It's a miracle that good movies/TV shows still manage to get made in this environment.
Well, looks like I'll never be using copilot.
The Java Edition is almost shared source as they’ve intentionally made it easy to decompile
I used it to prototype an app, and it was nice to be able to get started quickly without worrying about writing prompts or writing a vector store integration. But once I settled on the components I was using it made more sense to use a custom implementation.
It's better to look for numbers that can represent reality at least when done right than to accept magical thinking and hand-waving.
I'm sorry, I didn't intend it to be. I was genuinely confused and was concerned I was missing something (which turned out to be the case).
AWS already has an implementation of this, namely, Nitro Enclaves. A Nitro Enclave is an isolated VM used for confidential computing purposes. You provide the Enclave an EIF file, which is basically an OCI image with cryptographic measurements. The Nitro hypervisor launches the VM and allows communications with its parent VM only over a Linux vsock connection.

Also, AWS has Fargate, which is basically containers-as-VMs. Every ECS task or EKS Pod is launched as a separate EC2 instance under the hood. This obviates a lot of the need for a solution like Kata there.

How are you certain? Has someone published a paper that I'm not aware of that settles this?

You are missing a dimension here by the way. Even if we could find a physical location of the brain that lights up when the color red is experienced, that doesn't have any explanatory power for the nature of subjective experience. How can it be possible to experience being a brain, being a brain itself? Not just observing another brain and correlating brain activity with reported experiences.

Experience and consciousness are axiomatic and precede theory about the physical world. You started with sensory experience and perception, and built models of how your brain works on top of that, not the other way around.

Absolutely false. If the government is going to abridge my rights, such as forcing lockdowns or vaccinations, they better show me the necessity and efficacy of those abridgements. The government can't just come in and say, "This is a crisis, we get to do whatever we want." Fuck that. That's how authoritarians are born. Many closet authoritarians took advantage of covid to become dictators without any evidence of efficacy of their mandates.
Fwiw, reinforcement learning offers objectively better optimization and more efficient inference than LP in many cases.
> I wouldn’t say jq is really comparable to xslt though, xslt has much more transformative flexibility. It’s closer to xquery.

jq isn't structured around data schema transformations, it's true, so writing complex transforms is not as easy as with XSLT, but it is very much possible. Essentially it's a reduction over [possibly paths to] elements of interest in `.` updating the reduction state with the new schema. You can organize your code into functions that do much what XSLs do.
Some do what's right even if it doesn't feel good. The best charity can be painful.
This is a pedantic non issue and has nothing to do with the overall thread.

I include that mostly under integrations. These days most companies are smart enough to use a centralized service instead of rate tables. The services are pretty good and provide pre-built integrations for most common frameworks. A security audit, install, and QA and you're 90% done.

LangChain is just too much, personal solutions are great, until you need to compare metrics or methodologies of prompt generation. Then the onus is on these n-parties who are sharing their resources to ensure that all of them used the same templates, they were generated the same way, with the only diff being the models these prompts were run on.

So maybe a simpler library like Microsoft's Guidance (https://github.com/microsoft/guidance)? It does this really well.

Also LangChain has a lot of integrations, that just pop up as soon as new API for anything LLM pops up, so that helps with new user onboarding as well.
this is the unfortunate truth that people so desperately want to ignore. responsibility for climate change does not and should not fall on individuals.

Two ways:

1) The kids State Standardized test scores were abysmal, but they were given great scores by the school. If they failed tests they were given unrelated “makeup work” to being their grade back.

2) during Covid, everything went online and we could see all the work being given. Our daughter was specifically given topics 2 grades below her actual grade to keep her grade up. Her teachers told her this, and they didn’t assign homework “because of need for school / life balance”. My son’s work was dumbed down as well.

For private school, we see it because we had to help get them back up to par. I have helped my son understand algebra and read Shakespeare, and my younger daughter age appropriate math and English.

Both are now able to take over their own studies, which are far in advance of where the grade equivalent public school is.

Our public schools also have almost no AP courses at all. The private school has only college-prep courses, and the question is only what level - basic to advanced to honors AP.

I mean... Sure, you're not gonna fix climate change by recycling. But you might participate in politics? Or get involved in groups advocating collective action? Or work on/found a startup in the space? Proudly proclaiming "I'm doing nothing" is basically saying "I'm waiting for someone else to solve the problem"

Interesting, so Meta doesn't want to pay for the hardware and they partner with MS to use Azure. On the other hand, MS provides hardware for free, hoping they consolidate their investment in AI.

There is probably a relevant chapter on the The Linux Programming Interface on file systems as well.
You've gotten a whole lot of replies that seem to miss your point, but I'd say that I've experienced that exact thing - to get to Calc in your senior year you needed to have gotten on a very specific track of math courses back in middle school, and likely your parents needed to know about it to make sure you got in. Otherwise, what appeared to be a very inconsequential choice at middle school actually decided your entire math track. Getting back on the track after you get off basically doesn't happen.

I definitely think we should teach more advanced math (and other) courses, but that particular way of doing it is just not very good - plenty of people who probably could have managed Calc just fine didn't get to take it, due to choices made for them years past probably by parents who didn't understand the significance. The structure and order of classes needs to be redone, which is hard.

I will say though I find it funny how much people are coming to Calc's defense. I'm in software development and it's a pretty common joke how virtually inapplicable calc is to us. I'm still happy I learned it but for software development it's definitely less useful than the other advanced math you'll learn.
Per SEC filings Uber has close to 4 million drivers worldwide. Even if you divide by 4 to account for part time drivers, you'd need 10k dispatchers. If their engineers make 5x as much as the dispatchers than you could have 2k engineers solely dedicated to automating dispatch and still break even.

I think they roughly have 2k engineers total and I have no idea what the breakdown is of what they do.
Do you realize that LLaMA-1 is just a very slightly smaller, comparably performing replication of Chinchilla [1], which DeepMind had completed a year prior to LLaMA's release? And has RLHF-ed into a suitable chatbot "Sparrow" [2] months earlier than ChatGPT was launched?

To assume that Google doesn't have anything competitive with Meta is to say that their papers just so happen to contain recipes for Meta's models but they've arrived at those not through training and benchmarking but by divination and bullshitting. This, let us say, does not sound plausible.

Then again, Microsoft uses LLaMA for research, and they should theoretically have some ability to get stuff from OpenAI. Evidently this isn't how any of this works, huh.

Timing is everything

For years I was "the big data/programming" guy at a small ~1k total employee company because I spent a lot of time with a lot of freshly available data sources, internal documentation and code, python, PHP and Apache

But I never studied anything close to it, just right place, right time and made some tools to help out people/part of the business that needed help.

(They were, for reasons not of their own making operating with sticks and stones. Those tools are also software sticks and stones but with ugly glue all over, but they work and that's what was needed and what was done)

I'm sure
Not the same as saying you have absolutely no agency in the situation.
In the thick of it I felt like the lock-downs were probably necessary in the beginning of "flattening the curve".

Many around my parts were being outright belligerent asshats when all we had was asking nicely that people distance and wear masks. A substantial subset of the population did the exact opposite, and caused all sorts of trouble being antagonistic even to people just trying to buy groceries.

Then the lockdowns happened and it was like a light switch. I rarely saw the same kind of troublemakers acting out that way in public. Apparently once the US starts gutting its own economy to deal with an invisible threat, people start taking it more seriously. Until then it was like they thought it was all fake news, running around mocking the gullible masked suckers.

But why they didn't end far sooner, like maybe once food supply chains were recovering and our shelves weren't empty anymore, is totally beyond my comprehension. It evolved from "flattening the curve" to "prevent as many deaths as possible at all costs", which IMNSHO is where it went all wrong.

Seems a tad bit disingenuous, only because the Ivy leagues are probably not competing for the top 100 QBs or top 100 point guards or top 100 pitchers either.

To me being the best quarterback at your school and playing varsity football for four years should basically be considered the same way, as you point out, being the top bassoonist would. And my guess is that for the vast vast majority of cases extracurricular activities are pretty much all created equal unless you do it to a degree that makes it notable (like being an all-state athlete, or playing with you regional symphony or something)
