That's not the case. It's very much in the realm of "we don't know what's going on in the network."

Rather than a binary it's much more likely that it's a mix of factors going into results that includes basic reasoning capabilities developed from the training data (much like board representations and state tracking abilities developed feeding board game moves into a toy model in Othello-GPT) as well as statistic driven autocomplete.

In fact often when I've seen GPT-4 get hung up with logic puzzle variations such as transparency, it tends to seem more like the latter is overriding the former, and changing up tokens to emoji representations or having it always repeat adjectives attached to nouns so it preserves variation context gets it over the hump to reproducible solutions (as would be expected from a network capable of reasoning) but by default it falls into the pattern of the normative cases.

For something as complex as SotA neural networks, binary sweeping statements seem rather unlikely to actually be representative...
Thanks. So far I’ve ordered 3 cables and none work. The first one was a charging cable. I didn’t even know that was a thing and it’s when I started to learn about the differences between cables. My second one didn’t support DP Alt Mode which I seem to need. The third one was a 100W 4k USB Gen 3.1 that supported AltMode, but it just didn’t work reliable (that’s the one that results in the screen blacking out periodically.

I’m thinking I should just spend $70 for the Apple cable because it will probably work.
I rather have a boring and stable desktop than these trend of the week WM:s. Time will tell if they even stick around, and become a reasonable daily driver.

I’ve heard that, with many hours of practice, dedicated amateurs and many famous magicians are able to do this kind of thing. I wouldn’t call it sleight of hand, but it is similar, although it may fall under that category broadly. I’m not a domain expert but I was taught some simple coin tricks as a child by my artist mom’s artist friend who ran the local frame shop. I never tried or thought to try to favor the coin flip or introduce bias, but it’s definitely a skill that can be acquired.
It seems fine to me. They don't want to update it, so they close the issue. They're under no obligation (not even a moral one) to change their plans, and everyone's free to fork it to implement their own plans.
The Federal Reserve. They can print money arbitrarily.
They're kind of missing the most important point of altruism being "effective". It's not that the recipient is effective with the money, it's that the net value of one's altruism is higher if you work and make alot of money and give it to donors rather than if you just did the work that the donors are doing. This is only applicable for those earning more than the people doing the work within the recipient organization of course.
Well, 3D printer did get way faster these last years. The record speed looks like science fiction:

It also materially changed the experience of Google's products for the worse. I am curious how that might have impacted their bottom line (as small as home devices are to their business).
Even worse: male USB-C can fit inside female USB-A - and it is quite common for female USB-C ports to be placed right next to female USB-A ports.

I learned this the hard way - turns out your computer will just suddenly hard power off when you try to do this.
His music is even better. I wish he supported other payment than Paypal, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
raid0 isn't really a mirror though.

raid1 is a mirror, and can have speed benefits over just a single drive (able to read from multiple drives in parallel).

But yeah, you might be right. When talking casually, things like "mirror", "raid" etc can be a bit fuzzily applied. :)
Since the last comment in that thread says there might be some progress at the time of the 0.8.0 announcement, it might be worth asking for an update.
What I really like about him is that he didn't use a tax shelter. He also 'gave' money to the government that he otherwise could have used towards his recipients more aggressively.
Perpetual learning machines
Just write "pom" and pretend it's a keming issue ;)
If you have an LTE device with an antenna socket yes. Otherwise you are going to have a bit of fun with that part
I wouldn't say that. It seems analogous to saying a program uses a simple version of a document-oriented database built in to the system when in truth it's just using dictionaries. Sure, conceptually they do kind of the same thing sometimes and you might even persist it to disk, but it's a bit of a stretch to call it "something like a DB" imo.
Well I was very conservative in choosing a healthy 10 year old as a point of comparison. A trained 10 year old can do a lot more. This guy was 7 at the time of filming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c__4ETI7aM

I'm not trying to diminish the accomplishment with respect to the state of the art of robotics, just bring some reality to the comparison against what humans are capable of.
The fact C was made on crack

It's where the C comes from!
If anyone wants to test it, someone wrote a short code that simulates doing that 100,000 times:

https://www.techiedelight.com/generate-fair-results-biased-c...

The coin is biased to come up TAILS 80% of the time, but using Von Neumann's method in the program I got HEADS 50.035%, TAILS 49.965%.
>But there’s a problem: there is little agreement on what those results really mean. Some people are dazzled by what they see as glimmers of human-like intelligence; others aren’t convinced one bit.

I find the whole hype & anti-hype dynamic so tiresome. Some are over-hyping, others are responding with over-anti-hyping. Somewhere in-between are many reasonable, moderate and caveated opinions, but neither the hypesters or anti-hypesters will listen to these (considering all of them to come from people at the opposite extreme), nor will outside commentators (somehow being unable to categorize things as anything more complicated than this binary).
I’d love to buy one and pay double to have another set donated.
> 200 years is a huge amount of time.

Indeed, but this is somewhat the point? E.g. China was an empire (before it was a multiparty republic, before it was a Communist republic, before its government became whatever you want to call it today) 100 years ago. For a technical example: 200 years ago, steam locomotives were the fancy new transportation tech. There's a case to be made that the successor to the successor to that tech has been on its way out for a few decades in favor of the electric locomotive.

It's pretty hard to predict what will happen in 200 years, which means we should be skeptical of both the prediction that AIs will take over by then and the prediction that they won't.
We told people that the coin has to flip at least once (which would bias it for the opposite site). Whenever instructing people, I tried to explaining that the coin flip should look like you were trying to determine an outcome of a bet.
You can find the complete experimental protocol here: https://osf.io/hkv8p

Also, I wish I had (any) budget to hire proffesional skilled tossers haha.
Verify: to prove that something exists or is true, or to make certain that something is correct
Yes, we commit the default state (normally off but sometimes on if we are planning to turn something existing off later) then use Salt to push out flags to different boxes so we can canary the changes a few places before taking it global.

Eventually once something is fully rolled out we might go back and change the default state but since Salt is always going to manage most of that it’s not a high priority.
So Amazing.

This somehow makes it obvious we are just machines,
and also how complex a machine, so how far we would have to advance to make machines like us.
That is now a solved problem thanks to GNU Mes and M2-planet:

And will gradually become a non issue as distros incorporate it (or more likely: reproducible binaries generated from it) in their bootstrap.
Unlikely, but maybe your comment was.
I built one of these in ~2004 to get internet from a Flying J a little over a mile from a house we were renting. Used a pringles can for a bit but a large can of yams worked much better. Used it for a few months until our neighborhood got actual internet service (and we lost line of sight to the truck stop)
If you have an LTE modem or hotspot with a removable antenna, you can do this sort of thing nearly exactly the same, just need to tune the antenna for different frequencies.

Phones tend to not have swappable antennas so you’re limited to doing something like using a parabolic dish to concentrate signals, and positioning the phone at the focal point.

Maybe you could construct something like a yagi antenna using a phone as the driven element…
Your comment reminded me of two-up.

> Two-up is a traditional Australian gambling game, involving a designated "spinner" throwing two coins, usually Australian pennies, into the air. Players bet on whether the coins will both fall with heads (obverse) up, both with tails (reverse) up, or with a head and one a tail (known as "Ewan"). The game is traditionally played in pubs and clubs throughout Australia on Anzac Day, in part to mark a shared experience with diggers (soldiers).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-up
Is Sonos the reason why they discontinued it?
Then you patent the specific method, not just the idea of "make speakers play at the same time, but with a computer"
As others have said, it's basically impossible to determine outside of some specific cases. Like, imagine if the keystroke data was being sent on its own to a unique endpoint; or a single player game that was sending only keystroke data to a remote server and little else.

This is tangential, but for all the flack Wayland gets compared to X11, it does at least provide some reassurance that a program can only easily keylog the stuff you enter into that program.
Consensus to Expand Research on Extending Healthy Human Lifespans
Interesting.

Some people report that they have very nice results.
Some people report that they feel nothing.

I'm right now in the process of testing it, will see how it goes.
Counterpoint: Without ECC, you simply don't notice how many flips happened and that they were the cause of some strange behaviour.
Some people in that discussion wonder about "->", which is used for indirect addressing through a structure member.

When C has added structures, which did not exist in B, it has taken the keyword "struct" and also both "." and "->" from the IBM PL/I language, from which C has also taken some other features.

In general, almost any feature added by C to B was taken either from PL/I or from Algol 68. The exceptions are "continue" and the generalized "for", which did not exist in any previous language.

(However the generalized "for" of C was a mistake, because it complicates the frequent use cases in order to simplify seldom encountered use cases. The right way to generalize "for", i.e. with iterators, was introduced by Alphard in the same year with C, i.e. in 1974.) (Compare "for (I=0;I<N;I+=5) {" of C with "for I from 0 to N by 5 do" or "for I in 0:N:5 do" of previous languages. C requires typing a lot of redundant characters in the most frequent cases.)

The oldest symbol for indirection through a pointer (in the language Euler, in January 1966) was a raised middle dot (i.e. a point). This was before ASCII and ASCII did not include the raised middle dot (U+00B7), so it was replaced by the most similar ASCII character, "*".

Euler had used "@" for "address of" and indirection was a postfix operator, as it should. Making "*" a prefix operator in B and C was a mistake, which forced the importing of "->" from PL/I, to avoid an excessive number of parentheses. Otherwise "(*x).y" would have been needed, instead of "x->y". With a postfix "*", that would have been "x*.y", and "->", would not have been needed.

In CPL, the ancestor of BCPL and B, indirection was implicit, like with the C++ references. Instead of having an "address of" operator, CPL had a distinct symbol for an assignment variant that assigns the address of a variable, instead of assigning its value.
The problem is also in (lack of) modularity that makes fixing small things disproportionately onerous.

If ypur car's engine breaks, it's usually petty localized. Most of the time it's enough to open the hold and remove a few small parts to reach it. If your stoplight breaks, again, the scope is pretty local.

To fix or to even diagnose the issue with a tooltip in Firefox, you have to rebuild it whole, and it's about as involved and long as rebuilding a car. And even though Mozilla invented Rust to make Firefox development easier, it's far, far from just saying `cargo build`.

This raises the barrier to entry quite noticeably, even if you are an experienced software mechanic but never worked in a Mozilla-oriented garage. But even if you fixed the issue on your platform, you now have to test that the fix did not introduce a regression on at least two other major platforms (or more, depending on the component).

No wonder it's much easier to hack on smaller projects, or on projects written in JS, Python, elisp, you name it.
It's funny that I've just asked a question if anyone takes ADHD medicine and how it works for them.
I note something very interesting in the AI hype, and I would like someone to help explain it.

Whenever there's a news or article noting the limits of current LLM tech (especially the GPT class of models from OpenAI), there's always a comment that says something along the lines of "ah did you test it on GPT-4"?

Or if it's clear that it's the limitation of GPT-4, then you have comments along the lines of "what's the prompt?", or "the prompt is poor". Usually, it's someone who hasn't in the past indicated that they understand that prompt engineering is model specific, and the papers' point is to make a more general claim as opposed to a claim on one model.

Can anyone explain this? It's like the mere mention of LLMs being limited in X, Y, Z fashion offends their lifestyle/core beliefs. Or perhaps it's a weird form of astroturfing. To which, I ask, to what end?
Well, it's under paywall, so I cannot even read this :(
And to note, by the time you're well versed enough to set up shot you likely have life obligations that prevent you from living for no income for a few months to kick the tires.

There is a knowledge that you have to hold your USB cable with the logo upwards. Unfortunately, it is too arcane, so lots of cable and even device manufacturers just not aware of it. Also I it becomes quirky when the socket is vertically oriented.
Surely the armies of quants would have found this most trivial edge and exploited it if that was the case?
All those mythbuster sources seem to deliberately exaggerate a defensibility preference from a minor bias into a universal rule and then feel smug naming some counterexamples that would disprove a universal rule. But it was them who elevated a preference bias into a supposedly universal rule. Not even that supposedly first mention (beware! Universal claim, impossible to prove that it was never written before!) goes that far, at least not according to the retelling of the mythbusters.
Wouldn't it be better for the LEDs to not burn out in the first place?

Because this was and is achievable.
If you're going to go that way you can skip the coin flip entirely. Just get both of them to write heads or tails on a note and then compare. This technique is used in some crypto projects, except instead of writing on a note you share cryptographic commitments.
Traffic Modelling Guidelines Version 4.0 [pdf]
Cryptobros try to pretend because "web3" is blockchain, that the blockchains will reveal anything bad before it can happen.

Completely untrue, of course. There's always a real-world link(because otherwise nobody would be profiting(people want stuff)/nothing would actually happen)
AI is honestly wrong word to use. These are ML models and they are able to only do the task they have been specifically trained for (not saying the results aren't impressive!). There really isn't competition either as the only people who can train these giant models are those who have the cash.
No, they both used the same physical form factor, but it seems to have just been a model from a OEM used by both nintendo and apple around that time, rather than one spec deliberately copying the connector from the other.

Finnish Government to Make Announcement on Gas Pipeline Leak in Gulf of Finland
There is the typical experience in IT, that too many people have the mindset of not reading manuals and just try to figure out things on their own. Because of which there is for decades the typical reaction of experts in form of RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual!).
Many projects are like the ship of Theseus: can be completely replaced along the way, as long as the crew did not try to replace the whole ship in one go while sailing. You need enough continuity to stay afloat.
All of your arguments work much better in favor of Open Source and against closed-source. After all, in Open Source, maintainership can be distributed, but a single closed-source shop is much more likely to simply declare bug bankruptcy and refuse to even consider a fix, at which point absolutely nobody else can do it.
You played text adventures by typing on a DS touch screen keyboard with a stylus?!
That is an orthogonal concern, the two aren't really comparable. It would be good if the LEDs didn't burn out, and it would also be good if we didn't have to throw away both parts when one failed.
Sounds fair to me. Better than if it was only 49, or 51.
Microsoft Deprecates VBScript
Tokyo Just Works. It is inspiring to see a well-functioning civil society. Most emblematic of this is the trains that always arrive on time, are always clean, and rarely get delayed. There is still so much more potential to be had around the world.
I've had an idea on my mind from prior experiences with projects where it was community wikis.

People have bits of information but they don't want to write.

Maybe take in sets of facts, put them in a list for the llm and say "make an article out of this"

Or go through batches, "please group these by category" " please sort these facts chronologically"

Then for the image header "generate a highly stylized 8bit image of what this person probably looks like"

I was thinking moreso in a specific type of wiki though, my favorite one that almost got traction was a wiki for independent music artists.
Nice gift shop too.
But you can store only one not-working password per username and website. Clearly it should support multiple passwords for the same username and website and have a flag "working" or "not working". Bugmenot has this all figured out years ago!

(Also, your username triggers me in a wildcard sort of way.)
I just came from working remotely from Japan for almost two months. One of the highlights was the infrastructure for sure. Tokyo feels like one of the most liveable cities I've ever been to in terms of urban planning and public services. It's surprising how far away from Tokyo you can go in what still feels like the public transport happy path (I went all the day down to Kagoshima) and how many highly populated cities you can reach along the way.

Now I'm back to Dublin where I'm permanently based and I feel a type of homesickness that seems to be related to missing that level of "liveability" that Japan has. A lot of things sound like coming straight out of a nightmare for some westerners, such as small houses, small rooms, narrow streets, no sidewalks, small cars and vans. But I enjoy that environment way more.
Rule of thumb in AAA: After 3 years devtime you are starting to pay serious debts by tech updates - that’s the descent into development hell.
the only way is with deliberately feeding the system honeypot accounts where account activity is recorded, but even then it's only a tentative negative response ; it could just represent the time it takes for the data to be sold or otherwise perused.

there are a few games out there that have this reputation-- third-party-ran nostalgic MMO private servers are a big example. the only defense that makes much sense is to virtualize that software and keep it away from sensitive data.

There's only so much one person can do for 'awareness'. At my workplace new projects usually trickle down from leadership, thru management, and eventually to the engineers. Leadership, in an effort to meet some OKR to be 'more data driven', had the engineers make an intake process for new work. After months of email blasts 'Please submit new project requests thru the form' across the org the grand total of project requests received was one (1). Even the leadership that demanded this process be implemented didn't use it.

This is nonsense. The original Bitcoin code was written in C++, not C which Hal always preferred to use, and Satoshi's style was very different to Hal's.
Your comment sniped me into thinking of some over-engineered systems to measure this with the human factor included. Some sort of RFID coin balanced on all axis with an IMU chip that measures the force applied to the force (through acceleration) and the mode and number of rotations of the coin.
