> Their hallucination detection doesn't always result in an accurate answer, though.

You are correct, but what is that word "though" doing there? Your fact is not inconsistent with mine...and while this "is" "pedantic" from a cultural perspective, it is not from a logical perspective.

> On the other hand, many people indeed realize they hallucinate, but can't accept that due to plethora of reasons.

LLM's on the other hand are emotionless, and breeze right through valid epistemic challenges...almost like it has split brain or multiple personality "disorder". ChatGPT will happily identify epistemic flaws in the very text it just finished generating, all you have to do is ask it!

> Being able to accept that one is hallucinating about something is always shown as a weakness in the society, except in very few niche subcommunities (e.g.: engineering).

Are we in such a community now? Because look at some of the confident "factual" comments in this thread, about (currently) objectively unknowable propositions.

Or, consider historic screw ups like the Challenger explosion, climate change, etc. I doubt all of these cases lacked even one voice of reason among the groupthink.

> What will be the natural reaction of these LLMs if this phenomenon is highly penalized, now that's an interesting question. They'll converge to humans, I may say, if the models we produce are mirroring human brains that accurately.

Maybe, if they (the publicly available ones) are allowed to . I am very concerned about bad actors getting their hands on superior models that they discovered in ways that may not be reproduced elsewhere.

>The nature is deterministic.

My thinking is that their nature derives from reality, and reality seems to be anything but deterministic to me, if you include the metaphysical realm (things that include the effects of human consciousness, which science's theory of "everything" excludes).

> You can't expect two copies of the same organism behave differently at a macro scale.

Oh? I regularly see people not only expecting diametrically opposed things, but outright declaring them as facts. Just watch the news, open any social media site, whatever...it is ubiquitous, thus unseen.
One framework would be to base this decision on the ability to suffer / experience joy.

Fraught, of course, with the same problems.
I believe in Smalltalk all method arguments are by keyword. Objective-C probably has a similar restriction. I've never written any serious code in either, so I could be wrong.
My wife didn't have long COVID, but did get a mild COVID infection (vaccinated, boosted).

She didn't get IBS per se; however, we have noticed a few changes with respect to her digestive system: she seems to have developed a recent sensitivity to wheat gluten and dairy/lactose. Both now make her gassy and uncomfortable.

The timing of it seems to be coincidental with COVID. Whereas we used to get pizza once or twice a month, it's basically been removed from our diet because it causes digestive issues.

So it's possible that some folks might not be having severe IBS, but a spectrum of digestive issues related to lingering effects that trigger inflammation with certain proteins/sugars?
> "I'll give you lots of funding to start a software company

But in this case there was a mildly successful company that didn't seem to need that much money to fulfill their business plan. That is the direction I was aiming at.
So they took more than they needed (greed) but didn't get it for free, but with expectations from investors that might not align with the original companies goals.

My critique went into the direction of taking more money than your plan needs.
A question to the experts here:
What happens if we take the "log" video and compress it using current compression algorithms and ship the LUT with it?

If I understand this correctly, the quality of dark scenes should then improve.

Would that then also allow users to edit the LUT or supply their own to get a better picture on their respective monitors?
> OK, that's what I had thought you meant! But that position isn't found anywhere in the Wikipedia article.

It actually is! I even quoted it a couple times up in this thread :) Maybe you're confused over effectively true vs practically true vs true vs. etc, but that's just semantics, they all mean the same thing!

> Also, what if two contradictory propositions each have zero evidence, are they then both untrue?

It depends, can you give details (what are the specific propositions)? For example, Russell's teapot explains when the "contradiction" is between the teapot existing without evidence vs. not existing
The places that want to build from source are the creators of embedded devices that use curl. These devices include (but are not limited to) wifi access points, routers, home automation devices, data loggers, IP video cameras, smart TVs, set top boxes, and streaming devices. There are a lot of these devices, and there are more all the time.

Even if the engineering teams do not build every dependency every time they build firmware (like busybox), they will at some point build all of the components of their system themselves (as supported by yocto).
Lots of companies will at least have a blog post describing their pricing changes.
California seems to be stricter than many states but it's not just political purposes (which I'm not sure how that is "better" anyway):

Just a heads up, I'm getting an error when I sign up. I'm using the Scitodate activation code that was emailed to me and it's claiming it's invalid.

Edit: Hmmm, worked when I signed up with a different email.
A very impressive achievement, and it's great to see how the people inspired by this project are making contributions everywhere.

I sometimes wonder if a hypothetical future would see me using serenity as my daily driver, but the project description mainly lists 90s look and feel as the main difference from other unixlikes. Does anyone with more knowledge of the project know of any other goodies either current or planned that might tempt someone to use it over other operating systems?
Thanks for pointing this out, I probably would never have dug further into his blog otherwise, and there's a ton of other fascinating posts.
Yeah I think this is correct with the edit.

I guess this is mostly relevant for software that runs on shared infra, sends requests to a url provided by an attacker (e.g. webhooks), and uses a SOCKS5 proxy?

The interests of whom? What if you someone is convinced that a global caliphate is the ultimate good, because the creator wills it. How is that individuals interests going to be fulfilled with AGI? Are we going to have AGI wars?
The "tiny math function" is used for expository purposes of the generic application, to fit a trivial example on one page. Obviously it's not how you would literally write a function that transforms elements in a vector.
It should matter that "practiaclly infinite headroom" comes from the fact that the raw samples has 64 bit of dynamic range, than output format being float.

(does that mean there is a crossover in the middle of amplitude range that shows LSBs of one of ADCs poking their heads, I mean, in a hypothetical ultra-naive implementation?)
Article does a lot of complaining about a trivial task. I don’t mind the extra privacy measures. Beats Windows hellscape of isolation and protection.
Because often they DIDN'T fail the first time. It's just that when the next batch of devs decided they needed something, they didn't bother learning from the previous generation, and instead re-did every mistake of the past 30 years, to finally "invent" the already-working approach that had been there for decades.

One example that springs to mind is GUI code. We've gone through 3 cycles of that so far (including the original).

Another is programming languages.
People get negative ultrasounds and claim doctors just hate them or refuse to help them.

I think a part of this is online communities spring up around these diseases and a doctor telling you that you don't have it is basically them telling you they don't get to hang out with your friends anymore.

Better data exists for IBS on this line of thinking:

> The Illness Attitudes Scales (IAS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered to 40 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and these were compared with 35 patients with organic gastrointestinal (GI) disease, 37 depressed patients, and 40 healthy volunteers.

> All the patient groups had abnormal IAS scores compared with the healthy group, but these were most marked among the IBS patients with elevated scores on six out of the eight subscales. Three of these were specific to the IBS patients: bodily preoccupation, hypochondriacal beliefs and disease phobia.

Yes but a very public tweet about it in the middle of this Unity debacle was not accidental timing or just a random reminder of this fact.
So, by making your code harder to read ("Duh - both these branches do the same thing, so I'll refactor it"), you can give the optimiser actionable information.

But it's not explicit in the code; you'd need a comment in the code to explain your reasons. Comments rot. And your tuned "high-level" code (yeah, C++ isn't generally considered a high-level language) is now dependent on some specific optimizer, which might change in the future; code that appears to be portable, and compiles on multiple compilers, only performs properly if you use the right optimizer.

I don't like this advice; but I'm not a C++ programmer. I don't like macros, and I'm not at all keen on the merciless optimizers that are shipped with modern compilers.
I would counter that an earlier step would be not to adopt that language in the first place. The options are not “Premium games” or “games”. They are “games” or “Microtransactional experiences”.
Ogg and Opus will never have much adoption on the web as long as Apple devices exist. I don't think any single tech company has managed to be as destructive to the proliferation of patent-unencumbered formats in the short history of computing.

From the first line of the link:

>> Spacedrive is an open source cross-platform file manager, powered by a virtual distributed filesystem (VDFS) written in Rust.

You log in because it’s a remote file system. Think Dropbox, not file explorer.
We don't know what systemic effects the vaccines have because the companies lied and said the vaccines stay at the injection site (aka, therefor they don't need to do more expensive testing).

We also now know that the manufacturing process for some brands was different from the trial groups to general availability, the latter of which contained much more varied biological material.

So, what could a bunch of unpure mRNA, RNA, and DNA strands coated in an immune system-evading 'nano-coating' do to your body? God only knows at this point, we didn't do the science to find out.
I think being completely in control of what shows up on your dashboard is definitely important, I'm not sure how fine grained the controls could be made. All the way to the algorithm?

Another one I think is being able to control your data. Who sees it, which part of it, and so on. Being able to delete data you don't want to keep, etc.

One of the advantages of paid accounts is that it's quite pricy to pull off a lot of shady things that are currently prevalent, spreading fake news for example.
En passant is today still commonplace among chess players - it means "in passing" and it "describes the capture by a pawn of an enemy pawn on the same rank and an adjacent file that has just made an initial two-square advance" [1].

Tattersal reminds me of a character in Malazan book of the fallen series of novels, I wonder if it's a reference.

Ok, then do they need to be truthful about anything?

How about giving themselves credit for extra clicks based on the value of the word? (With the defense they are doing it for you!)

What about if they switch to a click tracking system that uses statistics (so they can use the defense that the method is just inaccurate and they aren't lying), which just happens to over counts clicks?

How about charging you based on very erroneously projected traffic (one further than the step above, basically projecting the future very genrously in their favor) and not actual traffic?

What about if they enable the same third parties to both participate in an ad exchange as a seller and a buyer, with real time bid information, such that they can place phantom bids to up advertisers spend, just like HFT dark pools?

I could go on, every thing is all good, right? No guarantees?

Which ways is it ok if they misrepresent, overcount, badly estimate, fail to deliver, bill based on future estimates, and otherwise enable third parties to steal from you are ok?
> GraphQL has its place, but IMHO it is at either side of the bell curve of project complexity. It will be great for trivial projects, and it can help simplify things in really complex large projects with multiple clients and services, but it just isn’t worth it for everything in between these two extremes.

I understand why GraphQL might make a lot of sense at a very large scale, but how does it add anything noticeably positive over REST to a trivial project to make up for the extra work?
Thank you for pointing that out in the study; my comment was indeed not totally serious, but I was wondering if sitting vs standing or laying made any difference.
That would be ironic if this is also a 22 year old Bugzilla bug.
Ask HN: How to Stop a Redirect to Github.dev?
Hey,

Today for some reason when I browse a repository on github.com it will after a few seconds redirect me to github.dev. I don't want that. From what I could find there is lots of information to get into github.dev, but not much information on getting back to github.com.

The redirect happens on its own and I don't see any option to stop it. It will even redirect in the middle of my looking through menus. The usual way of going back through entry in three dots menu seems to be missing.

Github.dev is also in my native language so it is doubly hard to find anything.

Am I dense? How to disable this?

Thanks
I only have a 16GB computer so I can’t confirm the 34B performance. I have a 3090 with 24GB of VRAM and 34B just fits and runs above 15 tk/s. If you want a laptop and only plan for inferencing, I think a MBP would be better than a 4090 laptop.
One thing to note with Buildkite is that they are a "bring your own infrastructure" company. All of your builds and CI tasks happen on your own machines, with their SaaS as an orchestrater. This means that their infrastructure costs shouldn't be as high as other CI/CD platforms.

That said, they are absolutely the best CI platform if you're doing anything that requires special hardware. They're absolutely fantastic for GPU testing. They even provide a cloudformation stack with autoscaling, so if you're using AWS and aren't running builds the infra costs drop down to almost nothing. For the companies I've worked at that have used Buildkite it's definitely been worth the money.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUn68iFMNXY. Remarkably similar. Big difference seems to be unavoidable differences arising from a small sensor like bokeh and DOF, and especially the consistency of colour from the ARRI which makes grading a breeze. But the fact that iPhone footage can be intermingled with 100$k camera footage (after grade) without being noticeable is shocking

There are but you just won't be able to use all that water if you have more than a few panels.

Like if you need enough water for shower you might just need heat of like... one or two solar panel sized heaters, anything extra means water will be permanently hot and so any benefits from cooling would be minimal unless you had some heat dump to pump the excess heat out. So more cost

There is probably some use for heating house in the spring/autumn, but system that can put the heat from panels either to heat the water or heat the house is additional extra complexity and cost.
> Replication someone else's reasoning isn't reasoning. Otherwise, a book would "reason".

This isn't reasoning. This is a meaningless platitude. Matching the level of reasoning of someone else would inherently be reasoning. Replicating the level of reasoning would be.

> And, yes, most humans fail to reason properly a lot of the time. Any simple probability puzzle shows that.

That is an argument for lowering the bar for assessing whether an entity has the ability to reason, not raising it. Using this as an argument to me is another illustration of poor reasoning. Should I argue that you don't have the ability to reason because I don't think this meets the bar of proper reasoning?

IBS is complicated. Psyllium tore me apart inside. In fact the thing that worked best was cutting out as much nuts and vegetables as possible. For other people it's pork or coffee or certain sugars.

The prescription data was presumably resold by pharmacies (which?) to data brokers. This was their workaround to sidestep HIPAA ("It's not medical information, it's prescription information").

This is also why pharmacies pester you for your phone number, and to participate in their loyalty programs (don't).
If it can be controlled via RS485 you might be able to add some smarts to it, like lowering charge level if weather is supposed to be good next few days.

eve-NG is still the easiest to use IMHO, me and many of my coworkers used it to prepare for our CCNA/CCNP/CCIE certifications.

I would swap it in an instant for an equally user-friendly open-source one though, if there was anything comparable, as some of the features lacking in eve-NG Community were really annoying to deal with (e.g. no connection to a real, physical network and/or the internet)

Storing data on a logarithmic scale requires a higher bitrate otherwise it will actually look worse.

So for a finished product, the way it is now is better.

Plus storing extra data in the dark areas for display is pointless. You only do it because you want to manipulate the data and maybe bring something out of the dark area, but in the final product, dark is dark.

If you, for whatever reason, wanted to give the user more data, then you would provide a 10-bit or 12-bit linear file.

"...another disease people actually get but also many more people claim to have without evidence."

Lyme disease can actually be detected. For IBS and long covid, you are making the "no true Scotsman" argument. Diagnosing those is basically filling a questionnaire asking in so many ways "do you feel like you have it?" The same is true for many mental illnesses, by the way. Not to discount people's experience of having these problems - they definitely are real - but since the "official" diagnose is very close to just people telling the doctor that they feel like they have it, self diagnosing is not as bad as you make it sound.
There's a pretty inspirational Ted Talk about the founder of IDEO, a design firm that created the first Apple mouse, where an MRI machine engineer went through their design process and created a fun experience for kids who were scared of the machines.

It's covered in the section titled "host name length":

> A host name in a URL has no real size limit, but libcurl’s URL parser refuses to accept names longer than 65535 bytes. DNS only accepts host names up 253 bytes. So, a legitimate name that is longer than 253 bytes is unusual. A real name that is longer than 1024 is virtually unheard of.

DNS is not the only mechanism for resolving host name to address, even if it's what's used 99.9% of the time today.

I don't get it, why is a password superior? The argument of "what if you lose access to multiple devices" seems just as valid as the argument of "what if you forget your password".
