Uhh if you are a senior PM and you want to make >100k you should... apply to senior PM roles that pay >100k?

There are a ton out there, just spoof up your resume and start applying. High level PMs at FAANG make at least 200k base + a ton more with equity.

If the goal is to get more money, starting a whole new job path is a crazy choice, just find a senior PM role that pays more. If you hate PM that is a different discussion.
I think openAI might be experimenting with smaller context lengths to save on costs or something since I've had a few other things break down like this for me today too (even in GPT-4)

The links are all to biased, bad, sources and the headlines already have the bias baked in as well. I don't really see how this solves the problem. If this went a step further and summarized the articles while stripping out the bias, then I think it would be a lot more useful. Very interesting concept though.

ASML's EUV machines cannot be reverse engineered.

There's over a 100K parts, several of them from exclusive suppliers. You'd have to recreate several industries from scratch or somehow bribe all suppliers. You will absolutely fail to recreate the parts at all but even then if you hypothetically would, you can't put the machine together as if it's just a few bolts. It requires a team in the know months to do it, but you're not in the know. The tolerance for error is near-zero. Installing, configuring, running the machine, both hardware and software is extraordinarily complex.

None of this is a secret. The Chinese government announced a multi-billion dollar program to try and recreate such a machine from scratch. Expected timeline is 20 years with a highly uncertain outcome.

ASML does not have a concern to export to China, they want to export to China but are pressured to not do so by the US government.

>>> new 8048 variants and the microcontroller family’s weaknesses

Like, for example, only one external interrupt and one timer, which was 8-bit.

I did some reverse engineering on an 80s Porsche engine management computer[1] that used the 8048. The engineers had to get really clever to work with these 2 issues. They used the reset pin as a second pseudo ext interrupt, which works ok but has a few side effects you have to deal with.

The lack of a 16 bit timer was single-handedly responsible for adding massive complexity all over the code. Basically the loops had to be capable of scaling themselves for engine speeds below a certain threshold because otherwise the timer would overflow!

You have to wonder if it was worth what they saved vs just using an 8051, especially considering that this car had 2 engine management computers, and the main one used an 8051!

I might be wrong, but some sites can block 'self' origin scripts by leaving it out of the Content Security Policy and only allowing scripts they control served by a CDN or specified subdomain to run on their page. Not sure when I last tried this and on what browser(s).

You'd have to disable CSP manually in your browser config to make it work, but that leaves you with an insecure browser and a lot of friction for casual users. Not sure if you can tie about:config options to a user profile for this use case. Distributing a working extension/script is getting harder all the time.

You don't fix all problems. But you fix some, for example 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3 in base 10 floats.

And what you see is what you get.

0.333333 x 3 = 0.999999, makes sense.
I mean, everyone's gotta eat. I think there's plenty of instances of someone building a tool that they personally find useful and then making that tool available for free, unsure of what the reception will be and not expecting a lot of users. But if that something does very well and finds a wide audience I think it's natural to try to earn a living from it. And, if the attempts to "monetize" fail (as they often do) and someone is offering a lot of money in a lump sum to take it off their hands, well frankly I think they'd be foolish not to take it. And if that arrangement happens to turn out poorly for the userbase, well hopefully that will be another small object lesson in paying for things you find useful, when politely asked.

(And yes, I'm aware that's a lesson that really should have been learned by now, if it was going to be learned at all. Alas.)
The street near my parents home has replaced all the sodium vapour street lamps with LED equivalents. Now, there is less ambient light (the new lights tend to point straight down) and the colour isn’t necessarily a better option (that bluish not-quite-white from a cold temp light).

Yeah, I saw the Magic Loop on HN and was like, “oh no, time to dump my project!”

But I think there are some key differences. I’m not sure if Magic Loop is open source, for example, so I don’t know how they’re currently building their workflows.

Automating API calls is neat, too, but I get a bit anxious with too much automation when you want to run a workflow with consistent results. My gut says you want to have the functions here pretty locked down and tested, rather than rely on automating API calls. But maybe I’ll be proven wrong.
That’s what I thought too. I like using local models and those with short contexts will definitely go off into cuckooland if you start scrolling off the end of the buffer.

Yeah, but also common licenses are set by the distributor. (which they're also evidently free to secretly change?)

I want the other side of the deal: a default license implicit in the existence of software that can't be traded away without an explicit contract that involves something like an exchange of money, which a federal agency will safeguard against violations of. If an extension changes its behavior nefariously people should go to jail. If Google safeguards an extension that changes it's behavior nefariously then Google should go to company jail. (or, like, be fined and forced to comply).

(admittedly, this is hopeless idealism. But still.)
I totally agree with this. Except when it comes to new platforms and media of the likes of tech we are collectively much more willing to examine and be critical of our own industry even on HN. However IMHO the thing that makes the news industry so scummy is that these are the people that still control most of the narratives people read about and they seem to almost never be self critical at all and if they were then Jon Stewart wouldn’t still have a show getting laughs off of this truth.

Understanding should be much easier, for the same reason humans (e.g. children, foreign-language learners) can always understand more than they can say: human language is fairly low-entropy, so if there's a word you don't understand, you can pick up most of the meaning from context. On the other hand, producing natural-sounding language requires knowing every single word you're going to use.
Data point of N+1, but I haven't been able to place online orders at Petco for about a year now because they use some Cloudflare feature that hates my browser + home internet connection. Other Cloudflare-proxied sites seem unaffected, and I'm not doing any botting/crawling, nor do I have any IoT devices on my home network. There's not enough information provided to be able to do any substantive troubleshooting.

This became irritating enough that it caused two side effects: (a) I stopped shopping at Petco, and (b) I moved a pile of sites off of Cloudflare and stopped recommending them, and now sometimes recommend against them.

Cloudflare is still a good, quick, cheap option for sites that receive unusual volumes of malicious traffic, so I'll still recommend them as a solution to some problems. But, they're not a good default.
I definitely plan on adding more functions, and hopefully having others do the same. And I think these should be versatile things like get_url(), which I added today, versus the very specialized plugins that seem to dominate something like ChatGPT’s plugin space. I think we want reliable, versatile building blocks as functions.
"Any PC" without Nvidia GPUS that is.
Speculation: a very low probability token was sampled, shifting the context to unfamiliar area that increased the probability of further unlikely tokens. This can be seen by multiple strange punctuation and capitalisation that don't obey English grammar.

What's interesting is that asking if it's chatgpt fixed the conversation for a bit. This suggests that chatgpt is nearly (or is) hard coded to respond with "No, I am an AI developed by OpenAI known as GPT-3. How may I assist you?".

Another interesting point is the grammar is fixed in its responses after first breaking, suggesting that chatgpt handles previous responses very differently than the current response it's writing. This likely results from instruction tuning for dialog applications, I suspect gpt3 (not chat version) would have not recovered from broken grammar.

On one of my machines I run OpenBSD with Firefox with "Strict" privacy settings and "privacy.resistFingerprinting" enabled. There are so many websites I can't access, I get a straight-up 403 Forbidden page because CloudFlare has decided I am not trustworthy. I mean like pretty big companies like DigiKey, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, etc. I simply cannot use their websites, or I can load the initial page but then the API calls that provide the functionality all fail with a 403. DigiKey did something to unblock me and I can use their site again, but I know it's just a matter of time before it happens again. It's also a frequent problem on smaller sites that are simply using CloudFlare , and I never know when I'm going to be blocked from a site arbitrarily. It's especially egregious when it's a plain old text-based site like hamuniverse.com , or a small independent vendor like digirig.net ...

This is one of the things that makes it so clear to me that the web is diverging into two, one that is the "clean walled-garden capitalism web" and the continuation of the original web that was open, freely-accessible and built around sharing and knowledge.
Thank you for saying so! It’s very gratifying that I’m not the only one who finds this useful :)
It would be nice if we didn't need this. It would be nice if we had a native(!) low-level GTK-like API on MacOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Windows has it but that's because Windows is ancient and backward compatibility is important, and no one has figured out how to ruin it without breaking backward compatibility yet.
There’s a patent for that. The catchpa loop is basically a honeypot for bots… and privacy-conscious legitimate folks.

Chrome will indeed divulge more information than other browsers but only on the condition that you have opted-in for such collection.

“The Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) provides user experience metrics for how real-world Chrome users experience popular destinations on the web. This data is automatically collected by Chrome from users who have opted in, . . .”

I imagine that not supported doesn’t mean “won’t work”, but rather means “we won’t burn time helping you if it doesn’t work”.

Which is reasonable tbh, nvidia and it’s drivers are such a big stupid pain.
I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of dark patterns involved in turning these settings off:

https://myactivity.google.com/u/1/activitycontrols

Disabling a setting asks if you also want to delete your history for that setting; if you say yes it shows a sample of what you're deleting, you confirm it, and it's done. Nothing tried to encourage me to stick around, keep my data, they could easily have let me turn off collection of new data but not mentioned that they still have the existing data around -- I expected trickery but found none.

(Except for one small detail: I can't figure out how one is supposed to discover that this page exists in the first place; the support update we're discussing contains a link to it, but I can't find it anywhere in the YouTube preferences or advanced settings or anywhere else.)

(Oh, and it had no visible effect on my YouTube home screen, I'm not seeing the empty page I hoped for, just the same garbage videos it usually prompts me with for no clear reason. So there's that too.)
It's not a problem with Free apps. If you're forced to redistribute the source code, it heavily disincentivizes attacks like this.
Agreed with this. You can create conversations like this quite easily using their API endpoints with the temperature parameter set even just a little bit above the default.

I had a similar experience when I tried to use kubernetes in my home lab. Crashed it twice and since the technology and tools evolve so fast almost all tutorials I found were already so out of date that the commands didn't work and some tools were already deprecated.

I moved to docker swarm and love it. It's so much easier, straight forward, automatic ingress network and failover were all working out of the box.

I'll stay with swarm for now
What's the issue here? Not sure I see it.

It seems to be going along quite well until it doesn't. And it's sort of clear to see where it starts going off the rails. If you're going to trust algorithms that are under-trained and over-constrained, you sort of have to expect this kind of thing.

But then again, I always. Always. I am growing.
I mean it doesn’t have an independent legal existence. You pay social security taxes to the federal government and the government pays out social security checks. It’s only political rhetoric that connects the two. At any time congress can alter anything about the system.

If your social security tax payments created a legally vested property right in some account, protected by the due process clause, then it would be a different situation—-not an accounting fiction.

Great question, and something I’ve thought about.

The main issue right now is that I’m relying on the OpenAI API’s function-calling capabilities to enable the use of functions in workflows.

If we switch to other LLMs, we’ll need to create some additional wrapping around them to allow such function calling. (As far as I know. If any open source LLMs already have function calling built in, let me know.)

LangChain (which I’m not using due to personally finding it overcomplicated and too obfuscating) does have function calling, but it uses approaches like REACT (if I remember correctly) that aren’t as reliable as OpenAI’s approach.
that is exactly the point being made about saxony...
I seriously never get people that love CF (or any company for that matter). Praising 1.1.1.1, giving it free advertising. CF is basically handing over your website in return for some less work on your part. I get the advantages of it (like less engineer credits wasted, less server maintaining work and probably cost, faster) but actively giving it free PR just doesnt fit right with me. Pay your bucks and sit. They are a Big Tech company, they dont need your prayers.
Snagit: Add It to Your Toolbox Today
Looks like the LLM equivalent of a stroke - it's hallucinating non-contextual responses because it's traversing paths that are skipping important contextual connections.

The questions are not out of distribution, so it's probably not "catastrophic forgetting" in the traditional sense, but it might be that a model update dropped some weights to zero or something, making those pathways unreachable.

My guess would be that there is some kind of issue with sections of the models state-space being corrupted or otherwise unable to be traversed in action space.
