Not very impressive. I asked if it used fine tuning and it just said I don't know, ask support.
Not entirely but certainly a luxury belief.
I dont know why so many people keep repeating the trivial fact that we cant "eliminate" hallucinations. We cant eliminite misinformation from google, social media or people we know either. Best we can try:

1) better filter the training data
2) design better retrieval and reranking algorithms
3) when context information is provided, make it use the sources and cite the sources (use extractive QA to highlight which part of the source is relevant. This is the type of hallucinations that we should focus on as we can compare the generated result and the context to detect the hallucinations)
4) make the llm break down its reasoning into small steps that can be validated inidividually (COT, PAL)

There are some research on how to manipulate the logits during decoding to make the generated text satisfy certain contraints. I suspect that we can use these techniques to make the LLM stick to the provided context.

Personally, I like the work that the FTC does but even in this situation, I would like to have them be split up into an enforcement part, and a sort of think tank / brainstorming / general investigation of trends part. You can argue that I have sort of moved the problem instead of eliminating it, but I would argue that it’s both a good start and a good on-ramp for winning the game of lobbyist influence whack-a-mole.

Good question, I've seen some coverage of the case, and ... tend to disagree with the court's decision.

By practitioner I mean, you are one in your own research areas. And not in other areas of math.

People in different areas of maths have radically different languages and ways of thinking about things. And subareas will develop their own ways of thinking and talking about things. If you are a young researcher, you almost certainly have to learn these, if you want to understand the area. A more mature researcher can be confident enough to understand the new area in their own language.

The downside of more waster per GWH and/or greater enrichment requirement far outweighs that.

A power plant is only ever "done" when it finds itself on a far more valuable land than when it was built or when your politicians decide to go back to fossil fuels, something that should pretty much never happen.

That said, if it does need to happen, traditional 500MW PWR sites have been restored to green field condition.

SMRs are expected to by 1.5-2x as expensive as traditional nukes, it's borderline fraud at this point.

You can make a breaking change without changing the type signature ("do_something now uppercases and reverses the input string before using it"), and you can change the type signature without making a breaking change ("do_something now accepts None and treats it equivalently to an empty string"). The author is conflating these two scenarios.

So you don't trust them to not issue an unexpected cert but you do trust them to always log it?

edit: I just read the spec. the cert needs to be logged to be considered valid by the browser. which has fun connotations where google is effectively monitoring everything you access. basically the mother of all analytics. well... I mean... that is.. if they were not already monitoring everything you do on the web. so it's ok I guess.
Learning to accept that some things are beyond human control is a mental health victory in itself.

This depends on the distribution, for a uniform distribution all 16 hex digits are equally likely in every position.

Also for benford's law to show up you want your data to span several orders of magnitude (so e.g. you have numbers in tens, hundreds and thousands) and for a datapoint to be about as likely to give an n-digit number as a n+1-digit number, not everywhere and not exactly but it needs to dominate over there being ten times times as many of them with each step.

The right middle ground may be some susceptibility to court orders. E.g. Google shouldn't have to patrol files stored in Google Drive, but a court should be able to get a search warrant for a Drive or order files to be removed. YouTube shouldn't have to proactively search for ElsaGate content, but should have to comply with law enforcement orders to help law enforcement find out why it is happening.
Why? Shooting people is already super illegal.

You could also easily just slap liability to the seller of known harmful substances (see the sibling to your comment) or enforce warning labels as on tobacco products (eg "this product makes you shoot people and shooting people will get your thrown in jail").

A significant scene was just about Oppenheimer going on an Avengers style recruiting mission, getting the who's who of scientists on board. I don't think any endeavour before that or after that comes even close to matching the number of brilliant minds working under the same roof to solve a problem. The closest might be Bletchley Park perhaps, though there the only household name amongst those scientists is Alan Turing.
TH1520 is definitely not faster than a RPi4, not for normal programs compiled with normal compilers or binaries that will come from your distribution. And no, Bruce, vendor benchmarkering doesn't count.

The GDPR is merely a (weak) response to the overwhelming erosion of individual privacy that has been taking place during the past 20 years.

In practice, individual privacy has been diminished to a degree that calling the GDPR an improvement is almost cynical. The GDPR only exists because the right to privacy means almost nothing in today's world.

Not to mention that the GDPR is so routinely violated that most "rights" it appears to grant are worthless in reality.
As the saying goes, “all models are wrong, some models are useful” While the astrology “model” is obviously wrong, it must have been useful to someone at sometime for it to have gained such a popularity.

Like the “flat earth model” is actually extremely useful if you don’t intend (can’t) travel significant distances - gives you a coordinate system, maps and ways to predict where you’re going to be tomorrow if you travel on foot/horse.

I think astrology used to be a good foundation for people to think about personality types (psychology) in isolation and more importantly how they interact with one another.

By slotting people into 12 “categories” you could start to theorise which personality type “jells well” or “vibes” with which.

The time of birth can also correlate loosely with personality. Like the famous finding that successful atheletes usually have birthdays at the beginning of the year, because of practicalities of how our athletics programs are structured.

Anyway, I don’t disparage people for talking about astrology, liking to ask people what do somebody “is like” if they were born at a different time, leads to some fun discussions.
That’s a definition for observational equivalence, not of breaking change.

There would be very little point in doing changes that are completely undetectable. Surely, there is Hyrum’s law and fixing even a bug can be a breaking change, but I believe it is not as black-and-white as in the case of compiler optimizations. For example, the reverse of your aforementioned algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n) is still detectable, but should not cause any harm in any reasonable program. Surely it can break a program full of race conditions that just so happened to work with the former implementation, but it should be similar to how compilers handle UB — if you are in the wrong, then I really can’t save you (at least that is my opinion).

Also, relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1172/
> Pushover's API has a message size limitation of 1,024 characters. If the message parameter is larger than that, I could reject the request because it's not correct, but then the user's message is lost and they may not have any error handling. In this case, I truncate the message to 1,024 characters and process it anyway

This guy should not be designing APIs.

It'd be lovely to have some broadcast http specs to accompany this.

With signed exchanges we already have a way of making origin signed bundles (which I wish the team would appropriately update to use actual HTTP Signatures, now that those are approved.

We could try to adapt httpmu (used in upnp) which broadcasts content to quic. I'm not sure if quic has picked up any extensions which might help here, and at first glance it seems like a big mismatch with quic having peer to peer security so deep at it's heart. In this case we just want to send publicly; the signed exchanges will self validate the content's origin & integrity.

This would let folks beam out a web page (ideally with webpackage bundles to encapsulate all the needed resources) in a trustable manner.

> I think the industry has rightly come to the conclusion that, all else being equal, and even sometimes when they are not, a more complex language is a worse language.

That was a theory behind golang, and the observed result is that you're better off having a little bit more language constructs that may be misused, than having essential complexity in your problem space that you can't easily describe in your solution space, for lack of tools.
> what struck me most was how little was devoted to the context of the pacific war

In almost every way that matters (save at the end) the pacific war had little to do with the Manhattan Project and building of the bomb.

President Roosevelt approved the atomic program on 9 October 1941 and agreed to coordinate the effort with the British and maintained correspondance on that with Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

This was after a long sustained effort by commonwealth (UK, Canadian, Australia, New Zealand) and european nuclear scientists to convince the US nuclear scientist and DoD that a nuclear weapon was actually possible and feasible and likely being worked upon by the Germans.

Once started the project was a behemoth, a monster rolling downwards under it's own weight, with mining, processing, seperation, fabrication, testing, security and some 150,000 (IIRC) employed across multiple sites.

The only thing that prevented atomic weapons being used in the carpet bombing destruction of German cities was the surrender of Germany just a few months prior to the first protype being ready for testing.

The reasons for a new US President to sanction further testing of the new weapon he had only just barely first learnt about on two pristine Japanese targets remain somewhat hotly debated to this day.

Much has been written about this after the bombs fell.

I'd point out that anybody that has been exposed to massive projects understands one of the prime unspoken reasons, you cannot spend a massive proportion of GDP on a military project and not expect to see it used.

An additional 3% fee (for whatever) is common. You can ask to have to taken off, but then I feel like an asshole. I get that things might cost more — rent, raw materials, staff, etc. The business should build that into the price upfront. It feels like a dirty trick to disclose it at the end and puts me, the customer, in an awkward spot that makes me feel bad.
American independence well predated canning.
I don't get this. Food is ridiculously cheap when buying/cooking bulk. Cooking in bulk for 500+ students is doable but just needs some dedicated effort, dedicated machinery and investment, and some pre processing that you could certainly outsource to your local community. It's amazingly win win in so many ways.
A lot more people than I once thought seem have a very broken mental model of how things work. To take a recent hot-button topics, if you think that a virus can be caused by radio signals, or that an injectable vaccine can contain remote-controlled microchips, then you probably can be convinced of anything.

With such a fuzzy idea of what even makes physical sense, daily life must be a trip, because, a bit like Harry Potter, there are no rules for how things work so literally anything could happen. And if AirPods and wireless chargers do work and a website can write your paper instantly, under such a system why would Mars' ascendency not be able to make you more likely to get a promotion this week? Not that everyone into astrology is a 5G conspiracist, but that such a large percentage of people are that there must be a huge wider population of people completely at sea when it comes to how the universe works.

> There are a few more developers listed on the qualification page, but they don't seem to be responding to the roll-call messages: https://wiki.debian.org/ArchiveQualification/sh4

I am one of these DDs and also official kernel maintainer of the SuperH port. I am not responding to such roll-call messages because there is no new SuperH hardware on the horizon at the moment except for the stalled J-Core project.

> And besides the developers, the SH4 port had infrastructure issues, such as taking 6 days to build GCC: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2011/04/msg00173.htm...

Well, the current RISC-V buildds also take days to build GCC. On the other hand, the 64-bit SPARC machines have been among the fastest in Debian, yet there is no official port.

> So the answer to "why wasn't SH4 an official port" is likely "there simply weren't enough developers and infrastructure for supporting it."

I would argue that the main reason is that Renesas simply abandoned the architecture and replaced it in their own applications with ARM.

The prospective 64-bit SuperH port was dropped as well.
