> I have zero trust in the CIA but that does not really help to judge which leaks have merit.

Fair. So when somebody shares their pet theory about the CIA doing some shit and they don't have evidence on hand, how do you respond?

"I don't know if that's true. It might be true but I'm not persuaded of it."

"That's a conspiracy theory, it isn't true. Take your meds, schizo/troll."

I'm not accusing you personally of this, but the second kind of response is very common.
>because that way we'll only make machines with none of the advantages of machines and all the disadvantages of computers.

There is no evidence, basically none whatsoever that general "perfect logical reasoning" is a thing that actually exists in the real world. None.

No animal we've observed does it. Humans certainly don't do it. The only realm this idea actually works is Fiction. and this was not like for a lack of trying. Some of the greatest minds worked on this for decades and some people still don't seem to get it. Logic doesn't scale. They break at real world relationships.

Logic systems are that guy in the stands yelling that he could've made the shot, while he's not even on the field.
didn't the wapo or nyt also have pretty bad puff pieces on SBF around the same time? Probably an attack from all fronts approach to clean the man's image even if was already too late

Why even bother? If it’s not worth paying for it’s not worth watching. Your time is more valuable.
This is my concern too. NAT is nice because it's stupid and secure by default. No matter how you misconfigure it, the router simply doesn't know where to forward inbound packets to, unlike a firewall which has to actively block. My assumption for routers is that they won't handle firewalls right, especially the many cheapo ones.
Makes you wonder what sort of degenerate experiments the CIA is doing in 2023...
Pretty nice, though feels a bit slow to me... on my 10980xe which is kind of painful I guess given that it's mimicing a late 80s/early 90s video poker machine
> They can say "thanks to all my supporters". it's just fallacy to think the creator actually cares.

How deeply cynical and also, besides the point; even if you believe all creators don't give a shit (I believe many do), people still like being thanked.

I mean, clearly you don't ...

which requires your local jurisdiction to play ball or else you can just ignore it.
FYI, I used to live in DC (and frequent the Reddit community) and I've never heard of the community you linked. Apparently it's a split from the original with only 8k subscribers:

> Created 2021, free of over-moderation

The more popular community, and the one I'm familiar with, has 332k subscribers. It can be found here https://old.reddit.com/r/washingtondc/

I'd bet there's quite a bit of overlap between the group of users who felt they were over moderated on the original DC community and those that disapprove of these types of regulations.

Feed forward networks are pairwise linear in respect to inputs, they are effectively DAGs.

In theory you could represent an entire LLM as a single 2 dimensional graph of linear line segments.

It wouldn't be useful for much as the parameters are clustered in dense patches.

There were two recent types of EU regulations. One was broader, but had these exceptions, the other one hits phones and had no exceptions (that I noticed when it was last discussed). See https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/24/23771064/european-union-b...
> An AI could generate relevant questions, follow-up questions during the oral, and evaluate the student at the end.

I dunno about that level of automation. Maybe the proctors can use it to generate a big bag of questions beforehand, that they manually review, but generating them on the fly is just asking for trouble.

Administering the preset questions and responding to the student is a much better fit.

They are essentially stealing income the landlord should have been making. Seems pretty fair to me.
In ex-USSR that would mean just having the judge either be part of the gang offering protection or have the gang "talk" to him/her for a potentially additional fee. A subscription type of fee was more common though.
Because using space that could be permanently lived in by somebody to instead seek profits as a luxury vacation rental, along with bad housing and tax policies in CA, is exactly the reason we have so many homeless.

1. Too many homeless people

2. Keep making luxury condos and rent them out on AirBnB, while NIMBYs continue to veto affordable higher-density housing developments

3. Blame local government and say it's their problem to fix

4. Get more homeless people

5. Return to step 1

I do not see how referring to a world model as simply a "model" could possibly provide clarity.

LLM literally stands for Large Language Model, it has a 'model' in it by definition.
I don't think retaliation is going to benefit anyone here. If they wanted to be confrontational, I think a constructive approach where they have a conversation with the teacher about false positives in these tools would be better.
The civil lawsuit against SBF's parents has email showing that they knew about the coming bankruptcy in 2021. So the father was asking how to transfer FTX assets to "bankruptcy remote" location: assets that couldn't be clawed back once the bankruptcy would happen.

But it was a scam from day one: FTX was losing half a million a day when FTX was created. Alameda never worked: the code SBF wrote to "arbitrage" wasn't even taking order book depth into account. So the code would see a bid/ask arbitrage and would make a big trade, but there wasn't enough liquidity at the bid/ask price found to make the arb work. So basically the code was losing money, for months. It's not even amateur hour: it's sheer idiocy and incompetence (or it was made on purpose to make the [unkown so far] party on the other side of these trades rich).

Several people realized SBF was full of shit: the tweets and articles exposing this (entire family of) scammer(s) were all out there. But nobody listened.

I don't understand how people could see a video of that guy talking and somehow think he was smart. I saw him during the craze, when there was on F1 race etc. and I sent an email to my brother asking him: "Have you heard of that dumb no-name?"

How people fall for that?

Shame on you Sequoia. Shame on you The NYT.
Can you please make your substantive points without breaking the site guidelines? You broke more than one of them with this post.

I'm sure you have a good point about mortgages and developers and banks, but it's more important not to set the forum on fire, and that is what the site guidelines exist to avoid.

The main thing is that there's no "objective" way, but if you rank and label your own data then you can certainly get a ranking that's subjectively well performing according to you.
This doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, there are SOCs out there with asymmetric cores (say, an ARM A53 and an ARM M4 on the same die) for folks who's workloads warrant that sorta thing. I'd expect there'd be s similar market for CPUs, with built in FPGAs of various sizes.
That might be side effect of using godot. It's apparently just a lot slower than unity and unreal.

People are already asking you if you have tried <insert version here> but this pretty much echos my experience and I have used both free and paid versions of ChatGPT (3.5 and 4 respectively) as well as the GPT4 API directly. I had a similar experience between all three of them, although the GPT4 based versions were certainly better in terms of output quality. In my opinion it seems pretty clear that this is a fundamental limit of the architecture and all the RLHF and increase in model sizes wont change that.
No, I've only used GPT-3 so far. Should I be excited about GPT-4? :)

Examples of things I'd file as silly mistakes:

- mentioning non-existing settings when asking it about a particular software.

- responding to roughly "give me a way to list all rds clusters that are running a version that will reach EOL within the next 12 months" (which I know is almost impossible to do without scraping, as the EOLs are not returned by the API, but it was worth trying) with a query that compares the version with < 12.0. It did acknowledge the error when I asked "won't that just compare the version number" and, interestingly, it then did add to the response that the API does not provide EOL for versions, but the first response was IMHO bad in a very basic way.

- providing wrong steps in an answer to "give me steps to do X", wrong in a way that would cause the process to go very bad, and then when I point out the problematic step, it responds with a seemingly random alternate step that is also wrong. I guess this part is the one that is less bad, because it loosely reminds me of people who are bad at reasoning and just give back random answers to a logic or math question.

I must say it is surprisingly good (though it will still make up facts at times) when answering questions about elisp though.

Paraphrasing Hofstadter, I'd say if I'm asked about the intelligence of chatgpt using gpt-3 I'd say it's slightly better than a thermostat or a mosquito, but not much more. Furthermore, my (admittedly not very valuable to others) gut feeling is this is not the path to get to what I'd consider an intelligent being, mostly because in my interactions, it makes lots of bad mistakes, and none of the good ones (here I'm using good and bad as qualifiers for mistakes based on my experiences as a parent, and as a mentor to junior peers, where a good mistake is something that lets you know they're on the right path even if they haven't arrived at the right answer/place yet). Try asking it about analogies, for example ("what's a good analogy to explain X to someone new to it"), the results I've gotten are underwhelming, when not just plain wrong.

I wonder if we will eventually end up with "internal monologue" tokens that are not meant to be part of the output but just perform computation, a bit the way humans think.
As I said, I never used SVN (several other version control systems yes, but not SVN). However it seems like those are fixable problems in SVN.
If he had a standard year long lease with this tenant, I would be much more upset for him not getting paid or the tenant evicted!

But he tried to run a hotel out of his house instead, because it could be more profitable, and the externalities wouldn’t affect him.

Oh well.
> whether they want to spend $89 for a battery or $890

No, they can pay less than $120 on a new phone in the budget tier which will be at least comparable in capabilities to a 5 year old phone in any tier and also have about 2 years of life.
I'm not so sure. The country in which I live has survived a police state, but it has left deep scars. I, for one, am willing not willing to pay the price of living in a police state even assuming that it might decrease crime.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that my country had much higher rate of murder/theft/kidnapping while it was a police state.

Yes, they are found in old software because that software was abandoned by its developer in favor of a version with more features that required refactoring and introduced new bugs in the process. The thing I'm saying, or at least something close to it, was only ever done with games. Games are somehow the only kind of software where everyone agrees that it can have a defined end state.
When I was in high school (during the 80s, in St. Louis, Missouri), I had a teacher that was essentially a slumlord. He once told us about how he provided free rent to a house full of bikers, like a biker gang, in exchange for "property management services", mostly forced evictions. He told one story that I wish I could forget: a Black family moved next-door to one of his rental units. He sent the bikers over there to intimidate them into leaving. The bikers burned the house down; a child died in the fire. No one went to jail. I just remember our teacher talking about this like it was no biggie.
GDScript is very similar to Python with the additions of signals and slots, which is nice. Except for some minor quirks which I don't remember from the top of my head, it nicely gets the job done.

I haven't tried Godot 4 yet, but from what I read, they improved GDScript even further, which should be nice.

If you think GDScript is holding you back, you can always try C# or C++.
I'm not sure if they're going after a single podcast show, or after podcast apps. If the latter, it's probably just making available Canadian made podcasts to some amount of Canadian made podcast and promoting them in recommendations and listings. If the former, it's a bit more strange, maybe inviting guests that are Canadians on the show, for some amount of episodes?

My BIL does the low effort stuff. Extremely low effort. He has a bunch of canned fish. Oh, and he got solar panels. But didn't know that they don't actually work if the grid goes down. So we had a regional power cut a few weeks back and he was astonished that his house went dark. He was about to complain to the company that installed it when I reminded him that I told him he had to pay extra for a grid-side battery and some additional circuitry, and he replied that he didn't think he needed that, and would save the money.

At least he had his canned fish. I gave him some candles.

I'm arguing against making a repair that needs to be done 3% of the time cost $200 more in order to save $0.05 on the price of the device.

Labor specialization is supposed to make things more efficient. You have some expert who can do the job in five minutes that would take you an hour, and then you can justify paying them ten times your own hourly rate for those five minutes.

It doesn't do any good to cause something to take the high-paid expert an hour instead of five minutes, all it does send the device to the landfill because the repair becomes uneconomical.

Thank you! I couldn't give two shits about someone who has forced they're way onto the property of someone who has owned it for 30+ years, and refused to leave. I would hope the common sense response to this would be to give the squatter a free year of housing in the local prison. 540 days of unpaid Airbnb rent x $1,000/day is more than half a million in stolen money, that's a criminal charge.

There is quite literally no excuse for what has happened here outside of failed local government.

My personal notion of a strong type system is one built around function type signatures.

In order to have that, you need static typing of variables and constants, like most statically typed imperative languages have. But you also need a method to specify required input types and expected output types of all functions.

In a purely functional language like Haskell where there are only functions, and functions are first class and can be both inputs to or outputs from other functions, then the entire operation of the program is encapsulated in its function type signatures.

The entire flow of data and logic through the program can be type-checked by the compiler, and function implementations checked against their type signatures.
Very, very nice.

Sure, if you want to define eugenics strictly in terms of selecting for features, but I think there's a difference between "selecting for A" vs "selecting for !B", with the latter not limiting the existence of A, C, D, etc. On paper these might seem equivalent, but when applied by a society it becomes the difference between "let's breed blond haired blue eyes people" vs "let's not have kids with Down syndrome" and I think "eugenics" has been primarily used to describe the former application.
I worked at such a place, and the core issue was that lots of enterprise customers want guarantees that their data never leaves the US, ever, for any reason. As a company, we didn't care where you lived. If you were outside the US, though, it drastically limited what kind of work you could do with us, to the point it just wasn't worth supporting it.
It's been only 10 months now. So far, I've played a lot of my favorite video games, read books, fixed some things around the apartment, learned a lot of new cooking recipes, tried my hand at new programming areas (however, I'm pretty spent there, as I've explored a lot in previous years already), watched a lot of youtube and tv shows. It's a bit boring, but beats working. All in all, not a very active lifestyle, but I think that's me. I just don't have a lot of motivation to do things beyond what's necessary, and was always like that.
Ah yea I could see something like that propping up

This varies a lot by jurisdiction so it’s hard to determine aggregate impacts. For every anecdote of judges throwing the book at someone, I could probably offer one of judges letting off someone easy. The important point stands regardless: Sweden has a larger percent of its prison population incarcerated for drug offenses than the United States. Most people going to prison were convicted of a violent crime.

We used CRDTs to build Pennant notebooks (think Jupyter Notebooks with collaborative Google Docs features https://pennant-notebook.github.io/). Getting Yjs to behave for a multi-editor environment took some doing. I highly recommend building your own interface/library for interacting with Yjs and never touching Yjs directly in React itself. The state management and event handler cascade can be incredibly fussy if you don't have a good handle on the whole system.

We've found most multi-user apps running over websocket experience significant degradation in performance in the high teen and low twenties. Beyond that we were able to update nested CRDTs and all presence/user data in one connection with the backend.

TipTap has a great backend called HocusPocus with well documented API. Y-websocket backend is already quite good but the support for user tokens isn't there natively. We were actually able to be backend provider agnostic for well into the project. It's a fun ecosystem.

Of course, fixed point would have been a reasonable choice too. But here is my point. Someone who likes testing could say "This bug would have been caught with better testing". Someone who likes static typing could say "This bug would have been caught if they had used an esoteric type system with support for physical quantities." ... Which no one uses. Thus, you have an argument between something real and realistic, and something imagined and unrealistic.
The word "relatively" is doing some very heavy lifting in that sentence. Instead you could just justify the title without appealing to seniority
It’s anachronistic and kind of hilarious. I test drove a 2023 CRV Hybrid and it includes a “Sport” drive mode that pipes fake engine noise through the speakers and simulated shift lurches when you reach “redline” - definitely good for a laugh.

But it also has the potential to confuse people. I saw a Reddit post about the same car where the OP was concerned because the car sounded like it was redlining too much before it shifted, and people had to tell him that the car has no transmission and thus no shifting. It’s all in your head, man.
