List the digit sum mod 7 of the first 10 primes larger than 53.

This starts with 0 0 6 1. What do you have to do to generate the next number? Count the numbers in the output to figure out that you have done 4 numbers, add 1 because the 5th prime after 53 is next, figure out that this prime is 73, calculate the digit sum 10 and then find the remainder 3. There is just no way that a neural network has learned to do this.

But ask for this as a table with prime, digit sum and digit sum mod 7 and it becomes trivial. First prime after 53? Output 59. Digit sum? Output 14. Mod 7? Output 0. Next prime after 59? Output 61. Digit sum? Output 7. Mod 7? Output 0. Next prime after 61? Output 67. Digit sum? Output...

This is what chain of thought does, it allows the neural network to only do simple tasks it knows how to do, output the result and continue from there with the next step. You would keep those intermediate results in your short-term memory but a large language model has none and so the best thing it can do is to dump them into the output and read them back when generating the next token.

The proposed pause token has essentially the same goal, the neural network can dump some state into the output to work on it but this output is not considered part of the response. It is essentially an attempt to hide the chain of thought process and only respond with the final answer. The hard part will of course be to train the neural network to make efficient use of this, to actually output useful intermediate results before the pause is over and the response gets extracted.
I think they have a place to at least try to layout dependencies but in terms of something useful after that they’re not great.

Where are you buying batteries that are a significant portion of the price of a phone?

For iPhones, authorized battery repairs around usually around $70 which is about 6-10% of the price of a new iPhone.

Is $70 really so much to pay for a battery that should easily last you 3 years or so?

I would say you are partially right. The number of people jumping on the AI bandwagon, hoping to get rich quick is incredible. In that, it resembles crypto, especially the NFT hype of a surprisingly short time ago.

Many of these companies exist solely to soak up VC money. They will take as much of the money as they can and then fail massively because they have no actual plan or no expertise with which to execute one. It might not qualify as fraud - or it might. I don't know.

So there will be a serious "adjustment" one of these days. Until then, keep your head on straight and be VERY careful.

Interesting idea. Is this being played at any casinos yet? I'm curious how you sell them on the house advantage being real (e.g. a white paper, or some kind of insurance guarantees?).

Happy to connect. The benchmark numbers are mostly from ANN Benchmarks. For my use case, the nytimes-256 dataset was most relevant so I used that for the QPS benchmark. I also took a look at the benchmarks you've made at https://qdrant.tech/benchmarks/ and there qdrant seems to be outperforming many others. If I've gotten something wrong here, I'm glad to update the article :)
Ken Thompson talked about compilers potentially injecting code in final programs in his Turing Award lecture [1]. That's why compilers need to be certified in order for the software built by these compilers also receive certification.

It's a great step for Rust!

Samsung and Google are still just giving promises. Apple has just quietly been doing this for almost a decade.

Even Samsung's huge announcement was like 1-2 OS updates and 7 years of security patches or something similar.

I'll be giddy with joy if Google will actually honor the 7 year full OS update promise.
Distributed Patch Dissemination
Academic literature describes a method for distributing benevolent patches "in which every newly patched node forwards the patches to some or all of its neighbors" [1]. This way, the patch might spread faster than it would if users/admins had to manually update their system to apply the patch ("centralized" patch dissemination).

This is termed distributed patch dissemination [1], countermeasure competing strategy [2], epidemic vaccine propagation [3], or patch forwarding [4] by various authors. I believe the countermeasures for the Creeper worm were distributed in a worm called Reaper [5], although I can't find a lot of information on this.

Has distributed patch dissemination ever been used or seriously considered since Creeper/Reaper? Could this strategy actually work?

I don't know, that is so last millennium. If you prove your software correct, you won't need a static type system, it just gets in your way. And that's a hill I am willing to die on.
Sure, I'd be happy to do so. Easiest way is probably using the public Slack channel that's accessible via the GitHub page.
Some of my assumptions:

- Experiments around influencing online discussions through social media influencers, bots, and AI on a mass scale.

- Bioweapons research in labs on foreign soil

- Social psychology experiments with the media through co-opted journalists and planted commentators (some don't even bother hiding they are CIA)

- Earthquake and weather control. (seriously)

- Possibly something fishy with UAP programs whether it is all a distraction or if it has some basis in reality.
I've heard that once a phone no longer gets security updates, the best thing to do is to install a third party rom. Is this still the case in 2023? Is using a 3rd party rom like lineageOS a comparible experience to stock when it comes to running apps and such?
LA has a bunch of gangs/cartels operating in it already

So do Dallas, Atlanta, Tuscon, Indianapolis, and a bunch of other extremely red cities which have an excess of law enforcement. It turns out that the amount of law enforcement isn't related to the presence of gangs.

What prevents them from offering a "service of getting rid from problem tenants"?

Because outside of Hollywood movies, life doesn't actually work that way. If problem tenants suddenly started disappearing, it would be pretty easy to follow the clues back to the gang and the landlord, and the punishment for both would far exceed the economic benefits to the landlord or the gang. Law enforcement many turn a blind eye to drug sales when they have to triage prosecutions due to limited prison capacity, but they aren't going to turn a blind eye to murder.

I think they understood their OS and memory model better than most commenters in this thread do. I was once paid to read most of Windows Internals 5 and try to understand their memory management concepts, some of which date back to VMS, and most of them actually make a lot of sense.

The Background mode has its merits too, but I guess they never imagined that a background process would need to spend huge amounts of memory just to do some background work.

> But as both datums were stored as floating point numbers, which they always would be, in any reasonable implementation, static typing wouldn't have caught anything.

Types are not runtime representations, and any good nominal type system will allow you to avoid this sort of problem easily. For example, this Haskell code

newtype Inches = Inches Double deriving Num
newtype Centimeters = Centimeters Double deriving Num

a :: Centimeters
a = Centimeters 1.0

b :: Inches
b = Inches 1.0

fine = a + a
alsoFine = b + b
mistake = a + b

will give this type error

Couldn't match expected type ‘Centimeters’ with actual type ‘Inches’
In the second argument of ‘(+)’, namely ‘b’
In the expression: a + b
In an equation for ‘mistake’: mistake = a + b

but both `a` and `b` will be doubles at runtime.
idk about the others but much of Guido's development energies the past few years have been spent building Python's gradual static typing system.

Kind of the same happened to me. When the company began to go south, they started to delay payments. And when they finally ran out of money, we've been let go but the last, quite substantial payments were not honored and they simply ignored our messages. Luckily things worked out eventually, but I was already getting prepared for not getting paid.
Thanks for mentioning blub I guess.

If you program in a dynamic language, then you have no choice but to perceive all bugs as runtime bugs. Because every bug you witnessed was a runtime bug, so why would types have helped you?

When I program in a typed language, the compiler rejects programs I write all the time. Things like: putting code that can't be rolled-back in the middle of a transaction.

Sometimes the question isn't "are types good", it's "are the costs associated with static types worth it for this particular use case". And the answer is almost always yes; but the "almost" there is important.
There's a comparison to be made there with screwing up people's thinking patterns at a societal level, just to be able to direct their attention towards advertisements. :/
Apropos of nothing: cops who are fired (or resign under the imminent threat of firing) are frequently rehired in other municipalities or other states[1]. There's virtually no accountability at this level of enforcement, in part due to the decline of the very sorts of small-town papers that this police chief attempted to shut down.

> Amazon responds that it is within its rights to not promote uncompetitive offers

Sounds to me like Amazon has found a loophole in the law. It agrees to list anything for sale, with no anti competitive conditions, but then only recommends customers buy things that it believes are in the customers best interests.

The FTC will struggle to argue that is illegal. Amazon can't be compelled to recommend stuff. (free speech etc). Also, what they recommend is in the consumers immediate best interests.

It will be hard for the court to argue that amazon should start recommending more expensive items to consumers, just to push consumers into looking for a cheaper platform.
yes and it has little to do with liking or dislinking traits tbh. having to import a trait to use what boils down to a single pure function is never good design

BUT the convenience methods defaulting to "standard" base64 instead of "url safe" base64 because it's one of the things where people don't think about there being more then one standard/configuration and it then loading to bugs in their code

so deprecating it makes sense, and without a braking change (which makes no sense here) you can't replace it with anything better

and because of the prelude module the import isn't that bad e.g.: `use base64::prelude::{Engine as _, BASE64_STANDARD};`

and even ignoring that most imports are auto generated, sorted and formatted by rust analyzer for most people most of the time

so it's eitherway at most a minor anoyence

so I can understand that the author is feed up with people annoying him about that again and again and again

This article is far from the only source, including some from within the agency, to provide a relatively credulous account of "Project Acoustic Kitty".
In the 60s and 70s, there was a thread of Western academic thought in Marxist circles that mapped connections between traditional leftist narratives like the exploitation of labor to things like race and gender. Of course, socialist feminism has a longer history, and can be traced back to the early 20th century. It's debatable how much influence the academics had, beyond their simple existence adding some weight to the previously only political movement.

Within those circles, it seems they like to think of it as extending Marxism to include feminist (and race-related) thought. Having read (only) a bit of it, I'd probably say the connection is a little forced and fraught with motivated reasoning. Though Marx criticized colonialism, I read him as more focused on its relationship with the capitalist system, exploitative by his measure at home as well as overseas. Furthermore, on race, Marx (and Engels) wrote some things that would be hard to utter in polite company today.

They're not the same pens though (extra fine v. ultra fine).

I can understand why the FTC is concerned. This has the potential to be worse for competition than MFN agreements, because it forces any supplier whose products might end up on Amazon to police its entire distribution network for minimum pricing.* It also forces suppliers to crack down on (legal, authentic) grey market imports, even if those are never sold on Amazon, or risk losing the ability to effectively sell on Amazon.

* Moreover, that minimum pricing has to be sufficiently high to account for Amazon's cost structure, even if other competing vendors are more efficient.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same."

When I was a student decades ago it was when they first introduced anti-plagiarism software. We all had to submit a printed out copy of our book reports along with a floppy disk or cd-rom of our report in the latest Microsoft Word format. Almost the whole class was flagged for plagiarism. Of course the school takes plagiarism very seriously so we all had to have a one-on-one with the principal. The real truth is no one copied each others work and it was the anti-plagiarism software flagging essays because students quoted parts of the book and expanded on that. In hindsight as an adult I think the excessive principal one-on-ones was the teachers way of shoving it to him and his new software.
I'm really glad my wife's 2015 CRV doesn't do that shit.

While accelerating lightly, it just stays at a constant ~2,500 rpm. If I'm flooring it, it's at a constant ~5,000 rpm. Once I've reached my desired speed and let go, it tends to sit at about 1,500 rpm.

Taking a CVT and making it act like it has discrete gears absolutely destroys all the advantages a CVT offers. In theory, a CVT is the best transmission, as it can always precisely hold the engine speed at either max fuel efficiency for cruising, or max horsepower for accelerating fast, and everywhere in between.

I've started referring to this phenomena as "Goodhart's Hell." We're living in a world with quickly increasing complexity. Variance in samples is much larger because our reach in what we sample is larger (we talk to people far from our homes, with different cultures, interpretations of words, language patterns, behaviors, ethics, etc). But we've responded to this only by simplifying our evaluations. We've created more tools and metrics that can help guide us, but we don't use them as guides but answers. We're using mathematics/technology not as a tool or language, but a black box. A black box with high accuracy too! Noise/uncertainty has increased but so has our confidence in our answers. It is entirely unwarranted. In essence, we are just hacking metrics and over-fitting our models to increase laziness and comfort. Our ever pursuit of meritocracy ironically takes us further from achieving the goals because we are unwilling to embrace the noise that is inherent to the system, believing that the noise is a lie, believing we can accurately measure everything to absolute (or even meaningful) precision. We have not only abandoned nuance but have actively turned against it and I do not know why. I think it deserves the hell in its name.
That is the opposite problem from what the person mentioned, and not a real problem. Rust is extremely good about backwards compatibility. With only a few very extreme exceptions you can take anything written from 1.0 on and build it with a new compiler.

What the comment said was:

> can't compile something written by a rust dev today with a rustc compiler from 3 months ago

This is taking new code and using it with an old compiler. Because of how deadly seriously rust takes backward compatibility, it tends to not be an issue. Just get the newer compiler to build the newer code.

This also isn't a unique problem to rust. You can't use features in any language with compilers from before they were introduced. Funny enough, even with rust's rapid growth, I actually have less issues with it in rust because of the ease of upgrading.
