I say the biggest missing link remains a complete lack of modeling whatsoever for some time domain. Representation of time delay between neurons and other elements can encode a lot of information. As it currently stands, everything in popular AI architectures is evaluated in a completely timeless manner.

I believe very deeply that spiking neural networks are the path to AGI. I also believe that the amount of compute ultimately required to realize practical SNNs is going to turn out to be shockingly small.
Erhm no, didn't notice. Then the AI ignored all my settings. Of course I'd select "fit Icelandic woman" !
But the investors (and board, executives, etc) want to see a 21% profit, instead of the 18.5% that they would see if they gave their employees appropriate raises, benefits and appropriate safety protocols instead of pushing them harder.
Any sense of why they are HF averse?
"During construction, the Dutchman project will employ a peak of 447 workers, with about 20% hired locally. Once operational, it will employ three full-time workers."

Big difference in number of workers.. Only 3 full time when operational?

Ketamine has no affinity for either GABA receptor type, nor does it modulate their activity. It's primarily a NMDAR antagonist.
It’s actually the default to not do that (-Xverify:remote). So I was probably wrong about bytecode verification being a relevant part of startup time, unless you count the application itself.
So instead we should just roll the dice, wait to see what happens, and then what? With every new technology, it is hard to go back once it's out there. Maybe the professors and computer scientists will find new things to do but the vast majority of people certainly won't.

Works nearly out of the box with llama.cpp, which makes it easy to try locally: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/2766

Here's some output from q4_0 quantization of CodeLlama-7b-Python (first four lines are the prompt):

# prints the first ten prime numbers
def print_primes():
i = 2
num_printed = 0 # end of prompt
while num_printed < 10:
if is_prime(i):
print(i)
num_printed += 1
i += 1

def is_prime(n):
i = 2
while i * i <= n:
if n % i == 0:
return False
i += 1
return True

def main():
print_primes()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

It will be interesting to see how the larger models perform, especially after community tuning and with better context/prompting.
Retrieval Augmented Generation and Generative Feedback Loops [video]
Demo showing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Generative Feedback Loops (RFL) on an Airbnb dataset.
Frankly speaking, Mongo is probably the worst NoSQL database out there, and it has given bad rep for other NoSQL database which do have their use cases, such Cassandra, DynamoDB, Couchbase and Redis (yes, let's not forget that Redis is also a NoSQL database, without the hype).

Redis is well-known (and sometimes criticized) for being single-threaded, but managing a connection pool on the client side is still necessary, so my statement is obviously not true for ALL NoSQL databases. But it is at least true for Cassandra and as far as I understand for DynamoDB and Couchbase to some degree.
A few scattered thoughts:

Firstly, the amalgamation of custom data sources via RAG pipelines sounds enticing on paper, but there are inherent complications. when fusing disparate data silos, considerations around data normalization, entropy reduction, and the potential amplification of noise-to-signal ratio are paramount. simply bolting on data to an LLM doesn't guarantee efficacy.

Then there's the underlying premise of using LLM as a primary UI model. while GPT and its ilk have made waves, a chatbot interface has inherent limitations. there's the conversational depth challenge, context retention gaps, and the non-trivial issue of multi-turn dialogues throwing off the model. Not to mention, the computational overhead of on-the-fly, real-time retrievals needs to be closely monitored to avoid a latency nightmare, especially if the knowledge base grows.

Further, there's a certain laziness in simply bolting on an LLM chatbot interface, which isn't appropriate for all settings, and can present accessibility challenges.

Speaking of the KB, the two-stage process delineated – indexing and querying – while conceptually sound, often buckles under scale. Memory networks and transformer architectures have their limits, and I'm curious about how LlamaIndex circumvents these bottlenecks.

also, leaning heavily on Streamlit could be a double-edged sword. Can anyone speak to its adaptability in production environments, especially under high concurrency?

anyway, I think it's important to bear in mind that chatbots and LLMs are tools, not magic wands or universal hammers
All of these have one problem, they're fickle. Intrinsic motivation, flow.. things most (myself included) seek and love, are not guaranteed.

The experience of adjusting difficulty and investment (you feel tired, you have emergencies.. do less, but do something, have rest days), going slow and steady versus inspiration driven is key IMO.

What is hard is accepting the near invisible small steps that don't seem to bring you closer to your goal.. that's where motivation dies.

> My understanding was that the name would be pronounced the same way

No, part of the rationale for the change is to reflect the different pronunciation (Türkiye) has three syllables

> but as a native English speaker I don’t even know what the umlaut does to the sound of the u.

While there is a change to the first vowel sound, and I think an even more subtle change to the second, the biggest difference is the existence of the third syllable, which is pretty evident from the spelling, even to most native English speakers.
One laptop of mine has such a sensor, but not for bitlocker.

After I opened it, it would just refuse to turn on, probably a safeguard when repairing and not wanting it to run anything.

But I did not know and thought I broke it, but after closing it again and tightening one screw in the middle, it worked and so I found that sensor. It is a very simple, but reliable push button and before it breaks, the screen will be broken long before that.
But objectively now the burden is to prove two anecdotal points are enough to disprove the entire dataset which has not been done yet to my knowledge

Moreover statements “like a lot of stuff…, totally corrupted” makes me suspect you have a bias.

Neat. Do you have some examples SWOT generations? My (somewhat similar) project currently does SWOT analysis using custom database schema like so: https://imgur.com/a/1Ufu3Yr

OTOH, childbirth is a somewhat special case because it's effectively a prolonged surgery process, and standard practice 'till recently effectively denied personhood to the mother. Now we can have differing opinion on the degree this process should be streamlined and optimized for convenience of healthcare practitioners, but if the hospital does ask the patient for their preferences wrt. procedures and standars of care (and/or is required by law to do so), then it's just wrong (and possibly illegal) to then completely ignore those preferences.

This is yet another case where staff is optimizing short-term efficiency by burning long-term trust in healthcare system of entire generations.
Philosophy of mind. It is impossible to create an artificial version of something that we cannot yet define. People need to dial back the hype and take some more time to consider why we think and what constitutes a 'sense of self'. Spending some more time figuring out how biological brains 'store data' wouldn't hurt either, but impressive MRI party tricks (with monetization paths) seem to win the day every time.

Side note is that language models are extremely inefficient for the benefit they provide. Most humans don't need to ingest terabytes of domain specific data in order to engage in basic reading comprehension and reasoning.

I'd argue they excel at things like designing molecules, where we don't have the mental capacity or speed to ingest as much information as we would need to reason quickly, but the amount of information and processing necessary to replace a secretary is laughable.
Or... Life requires a closed system which requires a boundary. The boundary and its contents is considered a cell?
I wonder why this was downvoted. That's exactly what my impression was, too.
The things the generative AI outputs are very much the result of prompt engineering based on the artist's selections. It's an artist's effort. Using a tool. They tell us how much of a pain it is to arrive at a specific desired result.

But I will agree with you that where the law ends up is still up in the air. I sure hope it doesn't end up seeing all the output as "just stuff that was put in". And the law often does not end up on the side favorable to art. Wouldn't be the first time. See music copyright. See street photography in Europe.
A significant amount of work on non-government space program doesn't require clearance.[0] But even NASA has non-cleared jobs.

It does require compliance with ITAR (the topic of this suit), but ITAR explicitly considers asylees and refugees to be US persons.

In other words, for non-cleared work (which is to say: most of SpaceX's work, their roles don't usually require clearance) asylees and refugees are just as capable as citizens or permanent residents.

[0]: Specifically, looking at SpaceX's own job postings, their work on Starshield and other military contracts, as well as on-site work on air force bases requires clearance, but other roles don't generally.
This is a very perceptive way to watch time pass when watching nature—and definitely useful when life revolved around things growing in the groud.

I wonder how much drift there is on the dates given, or if local climate yields highly predicatable weather patterns.

It's really, really hard to silo technical information in an organization against bad actors.

I agree, with a good modern dishwasher. My parents have a wonderful Bosch dishwasher that is quiet, efficient, and most importantly, can handle anything you throw at it.

Same here, I've very rarely ever copy/pasted code out of stackoverflow.

The response to my comment above is an example of what I was describing, and I don't mean it as an insult (though I understand if it is taken that way). People don't all treat software development the same.

The 'rush to action' types are more willing to shortcut the thought part of the work that others might. They are more willing to embrace AI codegen, as coding for them is not about reifying understanding.

If I were to adopt AI code generation, I'd still have to read the code to understand, which nullifies some of its value.

I do think AI code generation as a way to start designs could be good. But again, if I need to expose company code to do that, it probably isn't worth it.
Hello, and thank you for your positive feedback on our work with Dataherald.

I'm currently in the process of tidying up the DIN-SQL repository, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause :).

Regarding the usage of other Large Language Models (LLMs), we offer support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Cohere models. However, it's important to note that our testing and optimization efforts have primarily been concentrated on OpenAI models. If you intend to utilize other models, it's advisable to proceed with caution and be mindful of potential variations in performance and behavior.
I'm much more likely to agree with criticism of any particular climate policy than the general statement "it's too late and the cost of any climate policy would outweigh the benefits".
I say this not because I'm an Elon Fan, but as someone who's forced to fund the Federal Governemnt: This is thoroughly a dumb lawsuit and a waste of Taxpayer money.

I think it's completely fine for a company that regularly deals with classified or ITAR material to require _all_ employees of an organization meet that requirement.

The government is like "Don't leak our / ITAR secrets, but we're forcing you to hire people that could potentially do so".

What a waste of time. There are bigger fish to fry.

Compulsive intellectual thrill-seekers... while I never want to call names, this does seem to explain the phenomena quite well. There are just some people out there that need the world to know how smart they are.

Anecdotal: I do know one guy however who's just so ecstatic every time he figures new things out. To his way of thinking, everything that comes with "functional" truly is simpler. He built a dependency injector based on a Reader. He built a cool Result library where he managed to get at the internals of the JVM. Never once did he come off as holier than thou. I can appreciate and respect that.

State attorney generals are voted on by state elections, and it's unlikely many people know or can meet an attorney general.

The Sheriff is a county election, and is likely to be known (or even well known) in the community even before being elected.

I have been told by a sheriff deputy that the sheriff is the highest authority in the county, above all other authorities, that even the Presidents have to ask permission to enter their county. I am guessing this would include attorney generals as well.

I'm retired with enough money to hire someone to do any task I don't feel like doing, and buy anything I actually want (which isn't all that much). At first it was actually a bit depressing. Then I started focusing on tasks I enjoy doing myself, and challenges that nobody can do for me. Gratitude for my good fortune, and appreciation of the world's natural beauty, are also pretty helpful. Altogether it's a fantastic life and if AI and robots make it possible for everyone, I'm all for it.
Kalman filters are like sensor fusion 101, and anyone who has attached more than one distance sensor to an arduino has attempted it. It's not that unreasonable that the average person has no idea what sensor fusion is, what IS unreasonable is the damn head of self driving at Tesla claiming that "what do you do when the sensors disagree" is even a valid question.
That's from the writer's guide, which sucks. I'd hit the official doc site here: https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/. They rejiggered the docs with Antora oh, eh, four or so years ago.

But before I say anything else, if your use case is satisfied by Markdown, there's no reason to go anywhere else. Asciidoc's when you need more complex functionality: transclusion, conditionals, complex tables, weird print formats, ToC/LoT/LoF, indices, etc.
This applies equally to citizens and permanent residents.

AMD should do a high-memory-density MCD variant of 7900XT/XTX with a MCD that has 4 PHYs instead of 2. You could get 7900XTX to 48GB with no clamshell and 96GB with clamshell, which is getting into H100 territory.
I have no objection to eliminating some toil, like working 9-5 in an office. That's indeed bullshit. And of course, I could find reasons to live. Going against AI would already be enough reason for me.

My post was more subtle than that anyhow. I don't advocate work for work's sake, especially working FOR some worthless corporation. But swamping the world with AI-created things will also make most leisurely creative activities difficult for humans to do. So even purposes you create will be difficult to share with other people.

To tackle highest housing costs, developers are going to build luxury high rise units afforded by banks lending at the highest rates in 50 years. A sliver of affordable units will be extended to politically aligned friends and family, and of course the 50% of the workforce employed by the government.

There should be legislation associated with this decree that pins market prices where they ought to be in order to address affordability concerns. This would keep everyone accountable.

Perhaps - but as long as they’re are profitable skus I don’t see that happening. The lower and mid range build scale for them. If they need more scale for the high end they can simply produce fewer, but by making as many as they can at any cost point they improve economics. Also often there is a probability distribution of quality of components, and by having a low end to saturate the excess that is below high end grade they can improve margins and efficiency.
Don't follow people. Follow hashtags.
