disagree. These are ultimately still do what I say interfaces. You need to be specific and intentional and they respond in pretty exact alignment to what you ask it to do. They're basically unconventional programming languages.

You can ask absurd things to gpt and it will try to respond to your absurd request.

For instance, I asked it "What year in the 1900s had the most tuesdays" and it spit back a python program that tried to figure it out. On Google, to compare things, I get "1900s" crossed out and the wikipedia entry for the Ruby Tuesday restaurant chain as the first result, maybe because it's around dinner time.

The difference here is between that and the "guess what I mean based on crude demographic information and popularity" interfaces that ignore the user's clear intentions in favor of gross statistical markers like how google changes the position of images, shopping, maps, etc in the results based on the query presuming your intention based on crude vague guesses or the search systems that seem to only return 50% of what you asked for and the other 50% is simply what it thinks you want to see instead.

Those are not tools, they are broken trash. It'd be like if you had a knife that randomly turned into a spoon or a fork based on what time of day it is and what room you're using it in.

ChatGPT tried to do exactly, precisely what I said regardless of the fact that there is no answer since it's a list of years and not a single one. It's the "you told me to do X and I did exactly X" interface, the kind you get with a good tool.

Too much software is the opposite - basically as if someone walked up to a dinner machine and said they're vegan or kosher and the machine was like "American male. Eats cheeseburgers. Here's cheeseburger"

These modern systems just straight up ignore you in favor of some "big data" approach. It's trash.

Eventually all drugs will be legalized and regulated just like alcohol and tobacco. The War on Drugs is America's worst mistake and our biggest most expensive failure.

The big issue is going to be the "how".
Who would manufacture the drugs and how would they be sold?
Cocaine HCL is Cocaine HCL and the market wouldn't really need more than one brand like it does with cigarettes and beverages.
Back when drugs like opium and cocaine were legal in the US the regulatory system was completely different and we don't have any idea what it will look like in the future.

It would likely involve the downsizing of the DEA and expansion of the ATF, putting drugs in the same regulatory area as Alcohol and Tobacco - DATF.
Grocery stores and liquor stores would be the obvious vendors.

A non-profit needs to start a think tank to figure out the best intelligent way for a modern America to manage legal drugs.

It’s not a fair situation to anyone — honestly it is a sad scenario. To be clear a special assessment does not imply that a higher wealth person pays a higher percentage of their wealth. I am not advocating for that.

It should be pointed out that people who currently work hard aren’t rewarded the same way people were when a lower tax environment existed. Do you think that is fair , if the taxes were raised significantly to cover the debt ? Specifically debt that the government accumulated before you even entered the workforce.

The bad optics alone would be enough to convince Americans to go back to the War on Drugs.

Pharmacies and Liquor Stores need to be the only vendors of legalized drugs in order to keep the optics from becoming something that undercuts progress. Plant law would simply revert to how it was before the War on Drugs where people could grow whatever they want for personal use.

Inflation reduces the value of those who already have cash. That is the point of UBI. It says that everyone should have enough to live on. The wealth has to come from somewhere. Inflation takes it from those who have a lot. The actual numbers adjust to match.

The OP's question was whether it would affect supply. And it will, but not as much as they think. Most people will continue to work anyway. But their relative salaries will be different.

This makes me wonder what would happen if neural networks contain manually programmed components. It seems like trivial components such as detecting DNA sequences could be programmed in by manually setting the weights. The same thing could be done for example to give neural networks a maths component. Would the network when training discover and make use of these predefined components, or would it ignore them and make up its own ways of detecting DNA sequences?
>In the absence of any case, ever, saying that it is illegal to discriminate on caste in the USA, it is almost certainly generally legal.

That's not how it works. You're conflating court cases vs court decisions.

> documents that 2/3 of Dalits in the USA report being mistreated at work

That's an online self reported survey conducted by a partisan foundation. It certainly didn't cover all Dalits in the US, nor was it a random or representative sample.

If there were actually that many people facing discrimination, there would be more court cases, and then you can point to court decisions potentially finding that discrimination by caste is or is not illegal. The absence of such cases and decisions could also be caused by no one being discriminated against on the basis of caste.

As linked in some sibling comments, the CISCO case was withdrawn because they didn't find discrimination and were actually discriminating and making assumptions about the alleged perpetuators and publicizing it.

Not all forms of discrimination would be illegal even if discrimination on the basis of caste was banned. For example, a Dalit in the poll might have reported as discrimination that a coworker didn't invite them to their home after work but invited a different coworker who wasn't a Dalit. That happens all the time in the US and the world on the basis of race, sex etc. and certainly is not illegal even if provable. Just like the super common racial discrimination in dating that hasn't been made illegal. The examples given on the site in your link are more on the lines of those, stories about being invited to a religious ceremony and not allowed to share meat based food.
No, casting is simply a better technology. Its better no matter what type of propulsion you use. Its just that other car companies, unlike Tesla, were not willing to make the massive investment it required to make truly huge castings. Smaller casting have been in use before on various cars, some Audi had a decently big one on the wheel well.

For Tesla to do this they had to work with a company that made the largest casting and task them with creating a massively larger casting. Tesla material teams also developed its own aluminum alloy that wouldn't bend as much during cooling. This allowed Tesla to not have to dip the castings into a fluid to cool them.

Castings had been used by car companies for a while, sometimes decent size ones around the wheel for example. But Tesla took the idea and put in the effort to take it way further.

They started with doing only half the back, and then bond the two sides. When the company finished development on the larger generation of machines they pioneered doing the whole back piece all at once.

See: https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/04/Tesla...

> Also, because Tesla is so popular, is it possible that its attractions have far less to do with the environment and more to do with everything else about the car?

This is clearly the case. People never by things 'just of the environment'. Tesla produces the arguable the best price to return for EVs. At least unless you want a much smaller shorter range car.
DTs aren't losing steam at all. There are people chugging along implementing them.

If, as you have indicated, those provisions are already redundant under California law - of course I would. You seen to be asking this question as if you expect to catch someone in a contradiction, but I don't think you're going to find people support one situation but not the other.
Liquid Haskell solves the head problem as well as DTs - and it's available as a plugin. You can literally use Liquid types as easily as any library.
The author certainly thinks highly of himself.
This isn't really true. The body assembly is overwhelming automated in any large volume car. Its basically a long assembly line with welding robots and robots holding the pieces. There are few humans involved.

Of course both the large casting machine and the fleet of welding robots need engineers and maintenance.

Its really just cheaper, and the resulting piece is higher strength while being lighter.

I know. I am going further, and stating that if South Asians are arguing *in the US* about the existence and extent of caste-based discrimination, and it's gotten to the point that a law was proposed and almost enacted, maybe we Americans should question whether we should have the arguers, as well as the arguments, in the US in the first place.

I mean, you can say that the South Asian presence in the UK is because of the legacy of empire and all that. You can kind of sort of make the same argument for Canada. But that in no way applies to the US. The US has zero obligations of any kind to India. Like all immigrants Indians should be evaluated on their potential to contribute to the US in positive and negative ways.

Not strictly better. Type aliases are sometimes a nice thing to use.
Oh dang, I am quite literally working on this as a side project (out of mere curiosity).

Well, sort of ..., I'm refining an algo that takes several (carefully calibrated) outputs from a given LLM and infers the most plausible set of parameters behind it. I was expecting to find clusters of parameters very much alike to what they observe.

I informally call this problem inverting an LLM, and obv., it turns out to be non-trivial to solve. Not completely impossible, tho! as so far I've found some good approximations to it.

Anyway, quite an interesting read, def. will keep an eye on what they publish in the future.

Also, from the linked manuscript at the end,

>Another hypothesis is that some features are actually higher-dimensional feature manifolds which dictionary learning is approximating.

Well, you have something that behaves like a continuous, smooth space so you could define as many manifolds as you'd need to suit your needs, so yes :^). But, pedantry off, I get the idea and IMO that's definitely what's going on and the right framework to approach this problem from.

One amazing realization one can get from this is, what is the conceptual equivalent of the transition functions that connect all different manifolds in this LLM space? When you see it your mind will be blown, not because of its complexity, but rather because of its exceptional simplicity.

It will give me a reasonably good pdf doc from that picture, but then I got to press multiple buttons to eventually email the doc to myself. Then I have to go into my mailbox and sort the doc into my google drive. Ultimately, it works, but also very annoying.

But again - isn't the antithesis of this that the company never does the work to look into any of this and, in doing so, misses a huge but non-obvious problem that these tools might reveal? So you need to build it to do the work and check, and then you need to maintain it (because you already built it and the possibility still exists, etc, etc)....

Like, absolutely, there's some impossible to define line below which the org does not care about the data. But also there's probably a point where they would care! Being data driven is not about spending all of your energy optimizing for exactly the scenario you have data to optimize for (see: the post-covid logistic crisis).

To me - it seems like you need to "waste" a certain amount of money tracking down problems that don't happen to exist - but you can't know for sure they didn't exist before you tracked them down.

I guess like...do you have the impression the data should drive people in a direction they are not going? Like...if the systems you work on are saying things are ok aren't they ok?
> How is this related to the British? Caste is not their invention.

Technically, it is. This happens when people who do not understand a particular society or its conflict hierarchy start writing the laws for that society.

From Wikipedia:

> Modern India's caste system is based on the artificial modern superimposition of an old four-fold theoretical classification called the Varna on the natural social groupings called the Jāti. Varna conceptualised a society as consisting of four types of varnas, or categories: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra, according to the nature of the work of its members. Varna was not an inherited category and the occupation determined the varna. However, a person's Jati is determined at birth and makes them take up that Jati's occupation; members could and did change their occupation based on personal strengths as well as economic, social and political factors. A 2016 study based on the DNA analysis of unrelated Indians determined that endogamous Jatis originated during the Gupta Empire.

> From 1901 onwards, for the purposes of the Decennial Census, the British colonial authorities arbitrarily and incorrectly forced all Jātis into the four Varna categories as described in ancient texts. Herbert Hope Risley, the Census Commissioner, noted that "The principle suggested as a basis was that of classification by social precedence as recognized by native public opinion at the present day, and manifesting itself in the facts that particular castes are supposed to be the modern representatives of one or other of the castes of the theoretical Indian system."

A casting isn't weaker. You can make much more complex shapes with castings. You have much more variety in the thickness on the right points and interduce structural cross members.

There is a reason Tesla cars do so well on safety while been pretty light comparatively.

> Why can't the blocks be modular and replaceable?

Everything is possible. But if you have many independent pieces that are all independently bonded that introduces a whole lot of complexity. Each connection is an additional place for failure. There is a reason every single car welds these pieces together. Its just not smart to try to use fasteners to connect these pieces. Its much harder to design, much harder (and more expensive) to produce, much error prone its likely also heavier.
