No, we are complaining about the way the government handles allergen labeling.

It used to be that companies could slap a "may contain [allergen]" label on things that didn't contain it but were produced in a factory where cross contamination was a possibility. Such labels are *widespread*.

I don't understand the government's incentive in trying to stop this--the actual result was when cross contamination was a possibility the companies reacted by deliberately adding the offending material.

The problem is that it's being looked at in a binary sense. Either it contains the offending material and poses a danger to those affected, or it doesn't and is safe. However, in the real world there's a third population--those who are sensitive to the offending ingredient but not dangerously so. Possibility of cross contamination? That is not going to be a deterrent to me as the worst case outcome is merely unpleasant. Does contain? I'm going to treat it with great skepticism.
What is the Dallas experiment? I haven’t heard of this before.
The reason is the same reason that anyone ever writes a generic function (outside of writing a library) - to keep code DRY and avoid duplication. There is no upside to maintaining a large number of identical function implementations, and no scenario in which that is preferable to using generics.
I asked llama2 why I should use it over chatgpt:

"
llama2 and chatgpt are both powerful language models, but they have some key differences that may make one more suitable for your needs than the other.

llama2 is a more recent model, and it has been specifically designed for conversational AI tasks, such as answering questions and engaging in dialogue. It has been trained on a large dataset of text from the internet and is able to generate human-like responses to a wide range of questions and prompts. Additionally, llama2 has been designed to be more interactive and engaging, and it can respond to questions and prompts in a more natural and human-like way.

chatgpt, on the other hand, is a more general-purpose language model that has been trained on a wide range of text data, including books, articles, and websites. It is able to generate human-like text in a variety of styles and formats, and it has been used for a wide range of tasks, such as writing articles, creating chatbots, and generating creative content.

So, the main difference between llama2 and chatgpt is that llama2 is specifically designed for conversational AI tasks, while chatgpt is a more general-purpose language model. If you are looking for a model that can engage in natural-sounding conversations and respond to questions in a human-like way, then llama2 may be the better choice. However, if you are looking for a more general-purpose language model that can generate text in a variety of styles and formats, then chatgpt may be the better choice.

I asked an innocent question, and got a lot of lengthy, technical responses. The platforms I mentioned service _billions_ of users. It seems to me regardless of your opinion of "closed" or "insular" or "shoves ads", they're the big players right now and it's pointless to say "Oh, we're idealistic and we don't want ads or outages so we'll go with a feed that no one's heard of".

The reality is that the vast majority of Wikipedia users are _not_ tech savvy DIYers who know better than everyone else. They're ordinary people looking stuff up every minute of the day.

I would think that Wikipedia, despite its own vast size, could leverage the existing large platforms to achieve its goals (presenting unusual news or interesting facts, as their Twitter feed currently does, or explaining to people how Wikipedia works, how to contribute & edit content, etc.).

As for youtube, well, why not video content? It would be great.

> My larger point is that there are many little ways where legacy advantages can leak through even if you have an explicit policy of not considering it.

I mean, if we are going down this rabbithole, your "legacy advantage" definition can be shoehorned into literally anything.

I moved to the US midway through high school, with very barebones english and zero understanding of how college admissions process works. I didn't know what SAT was until about a year before I had to take it. Is it a legacy advantage if someone grew up in the US and was familiar with the process ahead of time and was able to optimize for it?

Is having plenty of time to dedicate to studying, instead of spending your time helping parents [who lack any english] translate documents and help with tons of basic life things, like opening a bank account, a legacy advantage?

What about some wealthy first gen international students who have great tutors and know all ins and outs of the american college admissions processes? Is this a legacy advantage, despite their parents never having attended a college in the US (or, very often, not having attended a college at all)?

There is a clear definition of what legacy admissions is when people talk about it, and what you are describing ain't it.
That's brilliant. Doubly so because data is starting to take on toxic waste properties as well.
Rowing is actually a fairly popular activity from what I see. (Caveat that I have some availability bias living outside of Boston.) It's also quite popular at the high school level, especially in the sort of private schools we have around here.

Almost none is going to be easy to transform, primarily because of the need to gut plumbing entirely -- offices don't support the shower/bath/kitchen needs of dozens of residential condos.

The article is making the point that you need to use copyright -- not robots.txt -- to enforce restrictions on use of your content. I think that's probably correct -- robots.txt is a request. Violating that request is probably not a violation of the CFAA and certainly doesn't entail extra copyright protection. Gripe all you want and black hole IP ranges all you want; your content will get crawled.

TBH, I'm not sure there is a way to enforce this preference on the open internet if crawlers are willing to violate robots.txt. (There are, of course, practical ways that mostly involve not putting your work on the open internet; eg, a custom sign-up flow with all content behind a login page will do the trick for any site that isn't sufficiently popular.)

So, per the article, use copyright instead. And if you do not want your content used to train an AI, then you need to find a way to clearly communicate to the bots that your work is under copyright; otherwise, they'll use your content for training and you'll have to sue them post-facto. Which is all good and well, but again, the premise is that you don't want your content used for training in the first place!

Which brings us to the operative question: is it true that CC BY-ND and CC BY-NC-ND prevent the use of data by LLMs? In fact, is a licenses which explicitly disallows use of content in LLM training is effective? I'm not sure that this is clear yet; e.g., if it turns out that using content in training data turns out to be cut-and-dry fair use then do restrictive licenses have any practical effect?
Yet another article with ZERO engineering and a lot of prompting.

I have to keep sharing my snarky gist about this, which no matter how crappy it is, includes implementations of BASIC prompt engineering features that should have been available on DAY ONE in the NLP eco-system. https://gist.github.com/Hellisotherpeople/45c619ee22aac6865c...

Why can't I write a negative prompt? Why can't I average tokens? Why can't I alternate tokens over time? Why can't weight prompts? All of this stuff is provably possible TODAY with any locally hosted LLM, and the only ones who are actually using and implementing it are... coomers using Automatic1111? Guess porn really does advance humanity.
Yeah, they certainly asked in 1997 when I applied. Curious when they stopped asking.
At the moment some of even the salesforce tower space is being sublet and used by weworks. At the moment it's really a great time to take advantage of some of the wework setups if you want to be in SF. The rates haven't changed much, yet the general space and quality of amenities to me seems not far off from some of the posh setups of Heroku or GitHub (maybe not quite that level but not far off).
But Bobby Baptist's kids going to Jesus Is Lord Day School is assimilating those kids into their society at large and Jesus Is Lord Day School still needs to meet the curriculum and testing standards that any other school in the state has to. And more often than not those private schools are _exceeding_ the standard of the public education system.

I spent years in both public and private schools.
The worst part of public schooling was that everything was scaled down to the poorest-performing child's level.
The worst part of private schooling was that a few underperforming kids were pushed/passed along with everyone else.

The latter outcome is _significantly_ better for society than the former.
I think this is a good hiring process. There is research which suggests that the hiring process which produces the highest performing hires is one that sticks as closely as possible to evaluating the candidate's performance on the specific tasks involved in the job.

In a dev job you're writing code, you have some degree of time constraint, you get to use Google. You're emailing a colleague with advice/suggestions. So yep. That company's test is pretty on the money.

We've used a similar process and it's super interesting to be on the hiring side and compare the results from different candidates when you give them the same problem. There were people who sounded really smart and polished in an interview but then bombed the coding test.

> The meta tag is the way

No, it is not. Doing this with a meta tag suffers from the same fundamental problem as using a mechanism like robots.txt has: it depends on the goodwill of the crawler to obey it. It depends on trust.

That trust is not justifiable when it comes to search engine crawlers and robots.txt, since plenty of crawlers ignore it. It's hard to see how LLM crawlers would be more trustworthy.

The sad reality is that one way or another free and open exchange of information is going to trend down, as people realize anything they publish will get repacked and stripped of attribution to be sold by some commercial AI they will switch to e2ee closed groups, and more active opposition will be poisoning datasets which would introduce more noise and contribute to the trend.

But I agree with the sentiment—if the blatant disregard for IP is not curbed, this sort of thing would have to be done…
I wonder if most of life is theatre sometimes. Had a mental breakdown one day when I was younger, when I was taking the bus to work - programmer at a healthcare startup. And I was thinking about some homeless people - and in my head I didn't understand how I was so highly paid and these people - older than me, probably worked as mechanics in the past, or some job that was useful. Then there's me, where I was working daily on code that matches patient records. The company sends me to conferences like HIMSS and there's just all these other companies doing the same thing.

I'm just like so I'm basically in sales - all this work that I do on patient matching is so that we can sell some kind of solution to others. What do these other people need it for? Why didn't they pick another company that was better and faster? What justifies my life being a happy existence moreso that someone that fixes cars. I mean that's useful, fixing a car.

I still break down periodically and wonder why my life is justified to be so comfortable. Is it just that I've decided to sell out in specific ways that make me worth it over someone else?

There also doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why someone that fixes cars shouldn't be paid massively more. I mean from a utility perspective, this patient matching is just doing a lot of marketing fluff about saving time. It's all a superflous industry though. If things were done differently, there would be no patient matching. And in fact, is a medical record on a computer that much more life and time saving than paper records? How often does a diabetes patient really have a digital record on file that when they come after a car wreck, unconscious, that some specific medication should NOT be given. Are those ER doctors really going to query IHE web services to find this person and know something about them?

It's all just weird to me, how we justify and move to the next thing. I guess without "progress" there will be someone complaining, so we keep changing.

So the people worth having a house are willing to keep changing with the world. But it's all wrapped up in lots of salesy stuff an feels very immoral.

And now I'm not even in healthcare anymore. So I don't even have that! I am no longer able to fake tell myself that "hey I'm saving lives - this is worth it".

Is it truly our personal greed that drives us to make our lives meaningful. It's so that we can get that bigger house and faster Xbox and new clothes.

Life is all theatre when you think about it. Maybe that's why it's easy to say "office is theatre for work" It's all theatre.
The English version is "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar", which at least in English makes more sense, since in English "sugar" generally implies dry granulated sugar. You're not going to catch any flies with that. (Ironically, you'd probably catch more with the vinegar, since some would go to it for the moisture and a few would drown.)

Firstly, you are not user “pinewurst”

And neither are you. Why are you speaking for someone else, much less a stranger on the internet?

you presumably wrote “business software” as an older, experienced, programmer?

No, your presumption is wrong. I specified "business software" because business software of the era was typically more complex than other software, and thus required more GOTOs and other conventions that the previous commenters have stated are problematic.
Do you have an actual video of one of your drones flying and delivering stuff?
I see your point. The UK could try the same strategy, since it works, as it appears to be running out of options.
Sure but I don't think it's necessary to confirm where the AI got something. There might be lots of sources. I often tell someone some fact I know, mention a source if I remember it, and possibly google a link. An AI could do much the same. In training, the trainer could just check whether the claimed sources actually say something similar to what the trainee claimed it said.

In operation, the "trainer" could do the same thing in the background. And then of course, human users could also check up on the sources if they need to be sure of catching hallucinations.
Out of my depth so happy to be corrected.

Don’t many/most state of the art models take many months to train on far more data than humans need for similar tasks?

Also, while e.g. GPT4 is quite capable across many tasks - humans seem to average towards learning robust _learning techniques_ themselves. Learning a new subject becomes easier thanks to somehow tracking and encoding learning strategies that are robust to learning other unrelated topics.

Grades are a score that parents can use to compare their children to other children.

It doesn't take too many parent-teacher conferences to figure out that the parents that ask for parent-teacher conferences want to see "the line go up" and aren't necessarily concerned with their children being challenged or learning much of anything.

The squeekiest of those wheels move from parent-teacher conferences to parent-administrator conferences (and sometimes parent-lawyer-administrator conferences) and you end up with school-wide policies like failure quotas where you are not allowed to have more than 5% of your students fail your class (ie the responsibility of the students grade falls on the teacher, not the student). And that is how grades stop being a measure of a student's understanding of the material.

OKR exist to align and motivate the company. It works top down and bottom up; the executives announce what the company is going to be doing for the next term, and it ripples down as each org and team sets goals that are aligned with the plan. That's all it has to be; a good thing done right.

Have you worked at a company where you had no idea what the plan was and where the company was headed? I have and it is frustrating. That is the kind of company that would benefit from the alignment that OKRs instill.
> Letting parents vote with their kids placement will force schools to truly advance.

That's naive. How much effort will be required to get your kid to a better school? Daily effort? Schools get selected because of convenience (distance, cost), and because the neighborhood friends go there as well. Homo economicus does not exist.

Furthermore, it presupposes an open competition between schools without restrictions on placement, and all information available and understandable to everyone. It's not going to work.

There's also the effect of mixing children with different backgrounds. A good school with can absorb a small amount of deficient students and stimulate them. Having everyone fight for the same school will cancel that, certainly if there also are programs that advance one group over another.

The only result of a free market for schooling will be that well-informed parents with some means will be able to select better schools for their kids. This being a (near) zero-sum game (you can't find a million good teachers), it'll mean the rest will be off worse.

Bookmarking on any browser is cumbersome and leads to disorganization over time. Tree-style tabs helps make that organization at least a little bit easier.
