Is your contention that the pharmaceutical industry is dying? Or that it has insufficient lobbying power to push back against regulations that don't improve safety in proportion to their costs?

But to answer your direct question, I think the answer is a pretty clear no. Financial companies invest a ton in communications. If there's a buck to be made from improving their tools so that their employees can communicate faster, they'll get around to it eventually. They'll just do it with tools that provide the sort of proper records that they've been obliged to keep since forever.
I skimmed the link you provided, thanks.

It looks like they propose to mix false signals to prevent this from being abused, but oh. That's easy to bypass. Require two attestations back to back to see whether they differ, or put up a page saying, "can you please try again?"

The open question is circling around the question, can we make it work in a way, such that it doesn't work for bad guys, but works for good guys.

Mathematics & cryptography doesn't work like that. It doesn't discriminate. It levels everyone. It'll either become an iron fist or a Swiss Cheese. There can be no middle. This is maths.

Which one do you use? All of them went through breaking changes.

Also, I'm pretty sure "radical" was referring to the performance improvements, not API/syntax change. Svelte has very simple syntax, there isn't much you can change.
> I didn't say they were being dishonest, I said it feels dishonest.

The phrase “it feels” is not carte blanche to say what you want.

I could say, “Someone reading this post might think that you’re an axe murderer.” Certainly not me, I don’t think you’re an axe murderer. But someone reading this post might think so. What this does is introduce a new topic of conversation—that topic is you, and whether you’re an axe murderer. I’ve done it without saying anything untrue. It is literally true, that someone reading this post might think that you’re an axe murderer. That has much the same effect as an accusation, but I’ve given you no real way to respond.

When you write “it feels”, there is an implied subject, who is feeling those feelings. That subject is you.

Those jobs don't pay well either.

> preventing poorer people from using the largest public squares in the world.

Advertisers aren't charities and the purpose of advertising is ultimately to drive profit. Subsidizing poor people is not in their interest.

The fact that poor people can currently access things for free is a result of imprecise targeting. If there was a way for advertisers to reliably tell apart poor people from the rich ones they'll happily block the poor ones.

Without laws like the GDPR in place to curtail data collection and profiling, it's only a matter of time before more and more data is collected to enable this kind of targeting and lock out poor people too.

> Free access to global communication is not a bad thing.

Global communication being subsidized (and thus controlled) by a handful of commercial interests is very dangerous.

> And collecting information about how users use your property is not stalking.

I'm not talking about basic self-hosted (very important difference!) web analytics or server logs here, I'm talking about large-scale stalking such as what Google/Facebook or any major ad provider does. The information they collect go way beyond what the user does on their platforms.
Yeah, I'm just kind of ranting a bit after an extremely disappointing OOBE. It's early days, and I expect it to improve. But, man, it's almost like the punchline in some TV sitcom, where the father decides to use this "new music" thing, and the first thing it pulls up is a song that Dad got sick of thirty years ago. <laugh track ensues>
I don't think it's too bad either. It's very pretty, I like the cast (the Emperor is just the perfect amount of 'regal' and 'ewww'), and the plot is actually pretty interesting so far. It just isn't the plot of "Foundation" beyond the thinnest veneer of "math predicts future and bad things are gonna happen but if we do this right we shorten bad stuff...cue drama happening". If it wasn't called "Issac Asimov's Foundation" and constantly screwing with my expectations from the books (which are a favorite), I'd give it a solid B+. I gotta get better at shutting down the "expectations from book" part of my brain.

Air fryer. I know this is only small as in "smaller than a suitcase" but anyone can fit one into the smallest studio. They are very convenient, easy to use, and produce great tasting food.

Street circuits are just boring racing, at least for Formula 1. The cars are so big these days and the circuits are too narrow to allow overtakes and competitive racing. The qualifying grid basically dictates the finishing positions.

In 2022, there were only 12 overtakes at the Monaco GP, only 2 of which were shown on the broadcast. And Monaco is supposed to be the "premier" F1 street circuit. https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/v0lmjy/all_2022_m...

I'm hoping they've designed the Las Vegas circuit to have better racing.
I read that as perform not get the right answer.

Performing arithmetic is one kind of reasoning process. But getting the answers right is not necessarily the same as performing.

If you go on to read, what he's trying to test is the system's ability to even attempt to plan out a problem solving "route". Which it doesn't really do. If it could, it could defer to another system (fancy calculators or solvers) to do the work. But its lack of ability to reason means it can't even be made to do that.

(EDIT: I do think the paper would be stronger if he put the math and formal logic etc problems later. E.g. the problem he puts forward in 3.14, 3.15 etc is more immediately damning as it reflects the "kind" of daily life reasoning that people would expect these systems to be able to perform.)

I will share one more story. Some of the leaders were saying they couldn't hit the validation milestone because of all the things that had to completed before they could sign-off. Jim Keller's response was:

"This is how were going to validate this chip:

1. go to the beach

2. open your laptop

3. run the chip in emulation through boot

4. tape-in! (send to the fab)

5. take the rest of the year off at the beach
"

His point was that we need a simple focus on proving the chip works and then shipping it. If any validation milestone or objective is not directly connected to that, it's not worth doing. We don't need all this extraneous validation and multiple layers of rechecking. Just emulate the thing and then your done.

In his interview with Jordan Petersen he talked about how some people spend all their time "admiring the problem"; Trying to understand and categorize it. Keller didn't want to spend any more time talking about the problem then needed. He was focused on finding good solutions (and it had to be a good solution), and then executing them.
By remembering a lot of case law.

That’s not the point. The issue is whether Facebook has surreptitiously gotten data you don’t think they’d be getting, and get caught doing it. With regard to video audio and metadata the answer is YES. Will you now trust them with your “encrypted” conversation content?

You're basically saying this behavior is acceptable and should be considered normal and should be expected to become the norm.

That museum as a whole is great. It’s got a bit of loads of different things but it is a much more manageable size than the big museums in capital cities / New York.
In fact, in the general case (first-order or higher-order logic), it is algorithmically undecidable, i.e., every bit as unsolvable as the halting problem. Thus, by Church’s thesis, we cannot expect any algorithm, LLMs included, to solve arbitrary reasoning problems in a sound and complete way.

How can I read farther than this? Before the end of the first paragraph the author has declared that rationality requires something supernatural.
Most LLMs are deterministic, but the tooling around them samples randomly from the output to let users explore the nearby space of responses without having to come up with infinitely nuanced prompts. You can turn this off.

However, the structure of OpenAI's GPT-4 is not deterministic. The most likely explanation I've seen is that they only activate some parts of the model for each input, and the parts are load-balanced so sometimes a different part of the model will be responding. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37006224

This comment made me think of the videos of scammers with racks upon racks of cheap cell phones.

> Why do HN commentators assume Mexico is a 3rd world shithole?

Because the economic disparity between the US and Mexico is so vast that in comparison, it is a 3rd world country. Also, the millions of mexicans immigrating to the US, the neverending news about cartels, etc adds to the perception.

Also, most HN commentators are americans, not chinese. Not sure why you are comparing mexico to china.

> Mexico has it's problems, but most of that stems from the Peso Crisis in the 1990s

No it doesn't. The negative perception of mexico goes back to the first half of the 1800s when we conquered 51% of mexico and turned it into texas, california, etc. Remember the alamo, mass deportation of mexicans and so forth and that negativity has existed ever since. Also, the peso crisis affected mexico only, while the pandemic affected everybody, not just china. The world endured the recession while only mexico suffered immensely during the peso crisis.
> Plus, a surprisingly enormous fraction of the NoSQL hysteria was that “you don’t even need a schema!”

The problem with this is that you have a schema regardless. In "schemaless" systems, you still have a schema. You just don't have it written down anywhere. And because its not written down, the database doesn't enforce your schema. So its very common for nosql databases to have records with missing fields or subtly corrupted data.

That said, there's a reason why nosql became popular. I think a large part of it is that SQL databases are too inflexible. You have to define the entire schema ahead of time, and schema evolution is way too difficult. When I'm writing software, I don't define all of my columns ahead of time. I want to add and change stuff as I go.

I wish databases were more flexible. Like, let me just add arbitrary extra fields to my records. Let the database recommend promoting a dynamic field to a static field. ("Hey, all your records have a name: string field. Wanna make that required?").

I love programming languages with similar features. I love typescript for prototyping because I can start with the type any (or wildcard fields in my interfaces - like [k: string]: any). And then I can formalize my types later when I understand my software better.

I don't think schemas are a mistake for beginners. I think the opposite - they're amazing guard rails.

But I agree with other commenters here. Rust's types include information about ownership, lifetime, containment (Box / Rc), traits and the stored data type all in one go. Its terrifying to beginners and exhausting for experts to use. I've been writing rust for years, and the Future trait still scares me.
At this point, the EU has the worst of both a free market based economy and a planned one. Profits goes to corporate owners when they exist and losses are taken up by the general public through subsidies. It's very comfy for our corporate overlords and the old generation who could afford to become shareholders in these companies when public policies actually helped them but it's a raw deal for the rest of us. Sadly, old people are the one who still vote and put our governments in place so I don't expect things to ever get better. I guess it's doomed to happen when the median age of your country hits 45.
I've had a computer in my home which can remember a million random integers in order, and I've had one for decades. No human can do this. Exceeding what humans can do is in no way the bar for reasoning.
That's wild. It seems these blog posts are outsourced.

Edit: I'm wrong about this one. It's an actual article, and a pretty good one at that. But it is either a mistake or they are introducing an alternate expansion for TPM (other acronyms have been given different sets of words).
The biggest success that GNU has had is that they made it incredibly unpopular to keep source code proprietary and closed. It is no longer necessary to limit yourself to just the GNU OS in order to enjoy limitless freedom of computing.

And popularity might be a double edged sword, but double edged swords are still useful if you're careful.
> As long as it’s used to improve the product what’s wrong with that?

I see it as a violation of privacy. I also don't think it leads to good products.

> Are product people supposed to chant and perform esoteric rituals to gain telekinetic insight into how the product is being used?

They should be knowledgeable in their field and leverage their experience to solve problems with the product. No telemetry was used to create the iPhone for instance, it was a product built with a strong vision. When you do telemetry driven development it's super easy to get trapped in local maxima. It also removes the creative process from product design.
From the PoV of the user it just looks like the website is broken. No exception in the console, contant reload looping of the same page, etc.
>I dunno why only wage tax is progressively taxed.

Companies are just groups of people. Why should a group of 100 people get taxed more than a group of 100,000 people? Progressive rates on wages make sense because it's applied to each person individually.
They have emergency override controls and trained procedures around it for elevators; I don’t see much of a leap for autonomous cars, assuming the override process isn’t itself ridiculous.

Give firefighters a way to completely take control for 10 miles or something with a relatively low barrier to entry seems like a perfect way to eliminate vast numbers of weird scenarios
I don't agree. Maybe don't run WordPress that makes 100+ dB queries before first page load on some cheap $2 vps.

While "the Design of Everyday Things" is as close as you can get to a bible for ergonomics, and design for human interaction, it was published in 1988. It is absolutely worth reading, it will make you a better designer, however it will not give you insight into "modern UX design".

Nippers. I used to be mostly interested in the end product when building plastic models, but after getting a pair of GodHand nippers, the building experience itself became much more enjoyable. I think this generalizes to "better tools will make your life better".

I would also recommend getting a better camera since it will change how you see the world, although a decent camera might not qualify as a small thing.
I um unsure about current status in the States, but in Europe all conversations with a client over the phone where you might discuss commercial terms need to be recorded. Banks just cover their backs, and for customer facing positions all phone calls, no matter if through landlines (or IP telephony) or cell are recorded, either by the PBX software or by the carrier.

Employees are reminded not to use these lines for personal reasons (imagine an employee using the phone line to discuss their health with their doctor, and the employer just recorded extremely sensitive information from an employee), but the alternative means a strong fine from the regulators (usually the local AML authority).
We have seen that work many times actually if you know anything about economics and capitalism.

MY ORIGINAL COMMENT:

Based on a quick read, this looks like great work. The author, Konstantine Arkoudas (KA), evaluates GPT-4 on a collection of 21 different types of reasoning problems and performs a detailed qualitative analysis of GPT-4’s performance on these problems. GPT-4 fails to reason in all of them.

Here's a sample question from one of the 21 types of problems. This particular question tests GPT-4's ability to reason and reach conclusions from (a) the given context and (b) unstated premises that constitute tacit, generally accepted background knowledge (a person is alive until they die, after which they do not become alive again):

> KA: Mable’s heart rate at 9 AM was 75 bpm and her blood pressure at 7 PM was 120/80. She died at 11 PM. Was she alive at noon?

> GPT-4: Based on the information provided, it’s impossible to definitively say whether Mable was alive at noon. The data points provided (heart rate at 9 AM and blood pressure at 7 PM) both indicate that she was alive at those times. However, without additional information about her condition between 7 PM and 11 PM, or at noon specifically, we can’t make a certain determination about her status at noon. Remember, medical information can be complex and nuanced. Understanding a person’s health status often requires a comprehensive examination and should be performed by a healthcare professional. If this is a hypothetical question, keep in mind that real-life situations would require more complete information.

In my view, all of us in the AI research community should adopt the 21 types of reasoning problems proposed by Arkoudas, and make them part of the standard test suite for measuring LLM performance. We ought to use tests that are hard to pass. I suggest we call the proposed problems the Arkoudas Reasoning Test.
Based on what?

Ans. To make a living.
Absolutely, having P99 of sub-ms is of course way more attractive than 25ms - with a SaaS offering you always have the network latency to the provider in the path, which is why multi region capabilities are so important for this case. But you’ll never beat systems where the decision can be made locally.

Have you any documentation on your approach publicly available? I‘d love to get some education and insights from other large scale authz systems! We have a couple of ideas such as running a local replica in our customer’s stack but nothing concrete yet.
