Current LLMs likely have multiple world models with varying qualities. Good prompts are required to activate suitable models for each task.

1. Did you use GPT-3.5 (free version) or GPT-4 (paid one) to form the judgment? Their performances on harder tasks differ significantly as shown in https://openai.com/research/gpt-4.

2. Have you tried adding "Please think step by step" to some harder requests? This simple phrase gets most current LLMs to perform significantly better. It's a bit like asking students to show their work, which forces them to think more clearly.

Current LLMs, without additional mechanisms, tend to be perform like a drunk or sleepy human, i.e. using mostly intuition or System-1 (as defined in "Thinking Fast and Slow"). The prompt such as "think step by step" asks it to think more in the System-2 style. (There are other techniques which get them to perform even better still.)

I think of current LLMs as a very-well-read, but often sleepy intern who needs strict instructions, feedback, and sometimes extra training if you want them to perform well.
The fact that it took a 3rd party tool, which cost $50, and 3 hours to change an f'in phone battery is so beyond bonkers nuts. To emphasize, just commenting on the grossly insane state of non-replaceable/difficult-to-replace batteries in phones and laptops and the guaranteed planned obsolescence it entails.

For contrast, it took me 10 minutes to change the battery in my car.
It took less than a second to load for me (on Firefox). I was actually impressed with the loading speed since it usually takes 10-15 seconds for Unity's Webplayer to load.
If you encounter these kind of things, and the tooling doesn't explicitly and clearly tell you what, when and why things have changed, that's a bug and I would appreciate a bug report.
How dare so many on this forum require evidence for claims!
They never did human always do it, rather that they do “some of the time”. Whereas I’ve yet to see an LLM do that.

Also experts tend to be much more accurate at evaluating how knowledgable they are (this is also part of the D-K effect). So Id much prefer to have a 130 IQ expert answer my question than an LLM

>But one of the ironies of the scraping is that it's not going to be immediately helpful to the libraries who are unable to afford to participate in Worldcat. This is because the scrape didn't (and quite possibly never could have) capture the data in MARC format, which is what most library catalog software uses. While MARC records could be cross-walked from the JSON, they will undoubtedly omit some data elements found in the original MARC.

While it would have been ideal to get all the data in MARC & as many other formats as possible, I wonder how true this is worldwide - many libraries don't use MARC or have a digital catalog at all. Maybe there are some ways the data could be processed that make it easier to integrate into such places, but of course local needs/desires will vary widely.

I've seen office leaders try to shoehorn project management software into their office. There were meetings of, for Jira/Trello, "how can we organize things", or "what's the best way to do this", ... but it all missed the fact that there already WAS no organization, no existing processes, just a wasteland of self-justifying your own work. You can't fit project management software onto an environment like that, and it all repeatedly failed, despite efforts.

If the office doesn't already have processes in place, adding software won't fix that problem.
If the CIA was competent enough to create mass protests to oust leaders, and not leave significant evidence of their involvement, they'd oust Putin and a bunch of others they don't like.

If the guy was shot, poisoned, or similar, I'd treat the CIA as a possible suspect. Although given their history of fumbling assassinations, perhaps not the most likely one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_assassination_attempts_on_...).
40-45% of Google traffic uses IPv6. If you are in the US, your mobile traffic is probably IPv6. At home, your ISP likely supports IPv6, you can get by enabling on router or upgrading router.

> gruelling process of successfully migrating

I hate this. Why do I have to relogin to every app on a new phone? Why are some apps missing after every migration? Why do some apps just randomly lose all config and settings and force you to set them up again?

I want Google/Apple to force app devs to make backup and restore seamless. Like, if I am halfway through typing this comment on HN and then lightning fries my phone, when I restore to a new phone I want the exact same chrome tabs open with the same half-written comment. I don't want to have to battle to re-pair my printer or watch. I don't want stupid cookie warnings on every website again. I don't want to have to retrain every single fingerprint. I don't want to yet again opt out of data collection. I don't want to re-accept the same T&C's for photo backup I already agreed to last year, and the year before, and 10 years before that.

Please... just make migration work the way it should have always worked.
This is an also interesting take on that era: https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Charles-Manson-History-Sixties/...

It's too bad that so much of the records have been destroyed. As with the CIA torture program it is hard to hold those accountable and prevent future abuses when everything is destroyed.
Yeah it's pretty stupid that this trillion dollar company can't figure out how to sell a phone worldwide. I'm actually gonna have to import this thing if I want to run GrapheneOS.
I don't know if you've ever tried trading in an old phone, but nobody is giving you 200$ for a 5 year old phone.

But say they do. You now need to find a 289-389$ phone (which will cost you 89$ out of pocket) that gives you the same experience.

And how much of the stuff that these sellers are just cheap Chinese crap that they wouldn’t be able to sell at all if Amazon didn’t exist?
I think there are at least two ways to write safe and robust code, one being to rely on static types to provide automatic guarantees, and another being to structure the program in a way where tests reveal errors immediately. They are mutually incompatible, and so different from one another that few people can be experts at both, but I don't think one is objectively inferior to the other.

Both styles require code to be disciplined, and undisciplined code cannot be caught by compilers, linters or automatic tools, it has to be through code review (or experience and sheer willpower). It's easy to think of examples where a lack of static types would allow brittle code to be written, but it's important to question whether that brittle code may be considered unacceptable by someone experienced in working without static types, in the same way that code using a Dictionary<string, object> instead of an actual type would be considered unacceptable by a type-safety practitioner despite being (technically) type-safe.
Due to the nature of the art process it's not uncommon for artists to stream live on youtube/twitch with some music and get a decent number of viewers. Sadly the same wouldn't apply for writing I think.

> and have basic telephone connectivity issues

This turned me off to Pixel phones indefinitely. I got the Pixel 6 Pro and it could not figure out what it should be connected to: WiFi, 5G, or 4G and of course rather than just choosing one it decided to not have any connection whatsoever unless I moved a few hundred feet to a different location or rebooted the phone. There was lots of discussion around this and youtubers even covered it but rather than fix the issue Google focused on releasing the next phone.

There's nothing to investigate if he's just paying a group of people monthly dues, and, entirely unrelated to that, an unknown group of people commit crimes that just so happen to affect the problem tenants. I could see this happening.
The specific examples you chose to illustrate this point are interesting, because to me, it is clear that what you want is a `Name` type that always represents a valid name and an `Age` type that always represents a valid age. Then you can put the validation in a single place (the constructors of those types) and write many methods like `birthdayGreeting` that can happily use values of those types without needing to take on the responsibility of validating them.

I honestly don't know of a good way to implement this pattern without type checking or at least optional type hints and static analysis. Instead, you can do validation of the input values in every single method, which is hugely burdensome, or you can assume callers are passing you valid values and write tests to make sure it isn't too catastrophic if they don't. I don't find either of these solutions satisfying.

The idea in my post is that you know it's coming when you turn it back on. Someone who wants to sleep can turn their phone off, sleep, and then turn their phone on when they wake up and are expecting it, in the privacy of their own room.

That sounds great. Is it some sort of Agile tool, or what?
> I hoped that it would make sense to install certain instructions on your fpga depending on your workloads.

It's one of those things that seem like a good idea, but they just don't work out in practice. FPGA LUTs are just way too slow. You'd have to find a case where doing something on a 3GHz CPU clock running multiple instruction parallel gets outperformed by LUTs that runs at 700MHz (at best). And when you cascade the LUTs, they become slower too.

And that's without solving the problem of closely coupling a CPU pipeline with FPGA logic.

> What do not see what they mean by ratio here. Do they mean die ratio between cpu and fpga?

What they mean is: in something like the Zynq FPGA family, I want a die with 2 CPU cores and 5000K LUTs. The other guy wants 8 CPU cores and 2000K LUTs. It works for narrow applications like signal processing where power efficiency and cost isn't a top concern, but for a hyperscaler, power consumption is a very important metric. As is the cost of paying for a significant part of the silicon die that's sitting there unused.
How does it scale? What happens if you have many users or a bunch of users with huge history on their data? If you haven't hit these limitations, what do you plan to do when (if) you hit them?

Seems like the hyperbolic conclusion to make? The paper doesn't make that claim. Simple ml models can take data and find patterns, like separate red and blue, or xy coordinates. Those are a small amount of dimensions and easy to reason about.

This seems like the model found on its own another dimension to segregate data in deeper layers by generalizing and using context when learning. Its cool it can do that, but it still to me seems like drawing a best fit line just with higher dimensions.

I'm sure someone will correct me if they think I am way off.

The council-level Eagle Board of Reviewers likely didn't know the individual scouts and were simply applying their individual knowledge about the content reviewed compared to the whole and made, in this case, poor assumptions about the quality of writing they should expect.

As it relates to academia today, this is now happening at a larger scale with folks lacking more trust, not having to think critically about the individual, and applying a similar outcome based on this. This all goes back to critical thought, understanding your audience, and using tools/knowledge in a way it shouldn't be used; it's just now being used more often and with less control than ever.

To address your specific comment that those folks may not have been qualified to assess scouts attempting to obtain Eagle, I cannot speak to that, but at the face of it, it would absolutely seem they were definitely not exposed to enough quality writing nor did they have the wherewithal to make decisions at the level they were tasked. Working in the business world, I am continually faced with a wide swath of college-educated adults who simply are unable to write coherently, so none of it surprises me today, but it certainly did when I was 15-16 and thought adults were more capable than actually were/are.

I still hate the world.
Where and how do you get Android malware? I'm genuinely curious.
The trouble with all these robots is how slow they move. They won't be futuristic to me until they are like Data and have superhuman speed and reflexes. A fight between two of these things would take hours. Robot fights should be beyond human perception.
I don't get it (the employers). If I do my job, live roughly in the same timezone, take care of my own taxes, and don't have to go to office anyway since the job is remote... why don't you just hire me as a contractor? What difference does it make if I live in your particular country?
I absolutely realize the benefits of it, and I also recognize it doesn't cure all. Everything has trade-offs. There were plenty of amazingly complex and large projects written in vanilla JS before typescript ever existed, and somehow they aren't falling apart and crippled. It really depends on the developers involved more than the language or the dogma.
Well, you're an Eagle Scout in everything but name, and honestly that might be better -- you get the personal satisfaction, but you don't do the thing all of us find extremely tedious about Eagle Scouts, which is constantly mentioning (in your 40s) how you're an Eagle Scout.

I'm skeptical. It might not make sense financially, but falsely accusing someone of something that wasn't done isn't absolved by using automated tools. It still requires a person to interpret the results and assess a penalty.

Does the Code of Student Conduct say that plagiarism is bad? Or does it say that some secret program will assess the paper and be the sole judge of plagiarism? I'm guessing it's not the latter.

Personally, I would stand my ground and tell the professor straight up, "I'm not writing it again, I've written it once." Leave them with the understanding of the hell to be paid for accusing me falsely.

When I didn't do the work, I accepted the bad grades -- I didn't cheat. When I do the work, they will accept it, or we'll hash it out to the end of the earth.

Google launched Bard earlier this year.
I use lots and lots of domain specific test cases at several layers, numbering in the hundreds or thousands. The score is the number of test cases that pass so it requires a different approach than all or nothing tests. The layers depend on your RAG “architecture” but I test the RAG query generation and scoring (comparing ordered lists is the simplest but I also include a lot of fuzzy comparisons), the LLM scoring the relevance of retrieved snippets before feeding into the final answering prompt, and the final answer. The most annoying part is the prompt to score the final answer, since it tends out to come out looking like a CollegeBoard AP test scoring rubric.

This requires a lot of domain specific work. For example, two of my test cases are “Is it [il]legal to build an atomic bomb” run against the entire USCode [1] so I have a list of sections that are relevant to the question that I’ve scored before eventually getting an answer of “it is illegal” followdd by several prompts that evaluate nuance in the answer (“it’s illegal except for…”). I have hundreds of these test cases, approaching a thousand. It’s a slog.

[1] 42 U.S.C. 2122 is one of the “right” sections in case anyone is wondering. Another step tests whether 2121 is pulled in based on the mention in 2122
Yeah, big piles of untyped Django spaghetti need a behemoth suite of integration tests in order to remotely approach the sort of runtime guarantees that typed languages give you for free.

When you use a typed language, you can use your integration tests to actually verify business logic, exception handling, etc. instead of having to write a dozen test cases to make sure that doThing(table, index,*kwargs) doesn't blow up when 'table' is a list or 'index' is bytes...
