That's not my experience with the leading models, & I'm seeing others observe even when LLMs are wrong, they often supply interesting potential avenues to consider (especially in the coding-assistant/debugging domains).

Also, techniques for tamping-down hallucinations are improving rapidly, with teams finding...

• ways to detect likely hallucinations from patterns in internal activations

• extra conditioning to reduce hallucinations

• success using explicit requests that the LLM lies to train effective classifiers for detecting other unrequested falsehoods

• ways to check output against various ground-truths to detect & correct errors

To focus on the real-but-shrinking number of failure modes will miss the almost unbounded upside from continuous improvements.

If Russian or China had organized that coup you would never hear the end of it. You would hear scalding criticism in every western newspaper and rightly so. Just because other countries do horrible things does not excuse the actions of the CIA.
One of the funniest (in hindsight) aspects of those FM broadcasters was how you selected a frequency. The Griffin iTrip didn’t have any buttons, so the way you selected a frequency was by playing a specific track from your iPod corresponding to the frequency you wanted.

That meant you had to first rip the CD containing all those 3-5 second tracks to your computer, sync the iPod, and then you’d be ready to use it.

And even after all that, the quality was still worse than the cassette adapters.
Eat whatever, probably 2800-3200 cals a day. TDEE similar 2700-2800 cals a day. Maybe a little bit less.

I can be literally fat (210lbs) and still have 4 abs showing. Perks of 400lb deadlifts. Its that if I want all 6 to be showing, I need to be around 180lbs. Get down to 170lbs and that buys you a few months.

I haven't seen any papers where cloud gaming servers implement rollback logic on your inputs in behalf of the game developer.

Even assuming games that do support native rollback, most rollback netcode implicitly considers you're local to your game client, not in some relay box 7 frames or more in the past.

They could argue that by viewing the copyrighted code/implementation, you could effectively infringe by (even subconsciously) writing the same/similar code.

There's merits to this claim if you're indeed implementing some advanced, niche algorithm but it definitely wouldn't apply here as all he's doing is calling HTTP APIs, a very generic and common thing to do.
I was not impressed. I think the color tech and scenery were the eye candy not the compositions. Imagine those scenes if they were done with a pin-hole camera? I believe the subsequent impressionistic views would inspire one's imagination to create and finish the composition, and that would be more engrossing. YMMV
It seems there are two types of people. Those who think governmental/financial/legal/medical/technological/etc systems generally serve the public's interests, and those who don't.

Internally I refer to the former as "systemic" people. They believe something is good for you because the FDA said so. I find that these people also buy into capitalism. E.g, poor people shouldn't be so stupid/lazy, or their parents shouldn't have been stupid/lazy. I find these people often are privileged and benefit from power imbalances imposed by the system.

But it's hard to relate to that once you can see reality more accurately.

Classic "conspiracy theory": The term "conspiracy theory" was concocted by the CIA as a label for anyone talking about the JFK assassination. And it was never put to bed. I see the term increasing in usage over time as well.

But yeah, systemic people gonna system. Weirdly it seems they outnumber people who form their own opinions.
Not sure if this is really surprising. Apple released the M2 in the begining of Q3 2022, but in Q3 2023 they did not release any new Mac chip. I expect a significant YoY decline in this case.

> (A) No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201

As I understand it, car manufacturers prevent independent repair shops from lawfully obtaining some of the diagnostics information in the onboard computer by encrypting it with a key that sits on the very same drive. Said encryption is the "technological measure that effectively controls access" and using the key to decrypt it is "circumvention" -- naturally, of the "effective" access control.

(https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?def_id=17... to “circumvent a technological measure” means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner)

Mazda might be interpreting the SSL certificate as a similar measure and therefore use of the certificate to decrypt traffic as a similar violation.

I'm sure it's awful when it happens non-voluntarily as for you, but challenging some of those urges on one's own time/inclination is a big part of discovering the value of digital hygiene.

Going without a smartphone entirely is more than most people need, but a lot of people experience unattributed health effects from having constant distraction and stimulation in their pocket. We've almost certainly evolved to rest and just stare at the horizon throughout the day, in a way that many people can no longer even imagine.

There was a meme on Twitter/Reddit a little while back where people were absolutely astonished that some guy was traveling without a phone or book or anything. In a world beseiged by depression, anxiety, obesity, etc the inconceivability of "just chilling" certainly seems like a related point of concern.

>Halo is a shell of what it once

I don't think this is a point against Microsoft, they owned both Halo and Bungie during the golden era. The quality dropped off sharply once Bungie decided to work on other projects and Microsoft had to put together a new team to replace them. If they're still capable of supporting game studios however they did with Bungie, it could be exactly what Blizzard needs.
Partially agreed, but it is kind of a mixed bag.

For someone who is already extremely good, they can deliver a killer performance even on a half-broken instrument. But for someone who is in the earlier stages of learning, this often just hinders them. Especially since a lot of habits learned early on are very difficult to correct later on, when it comes to music instruments. And having a terrible instrument can easily help with forming poor habits.

However, there is definitely a significant category of people who are more about upgrading and/or collecting gear rather than focusing on improving the actual skill. In that scenario, “this better instrument surely will be the reason for my skill getting improved” is used as a pretty common excuse. I would know, because i definitely fell for it before in certain aspects.

Note: not trying to take a dig at Squire, afaik their current offerings are all pretty decent entry level instruments. Was just addressing the overall larger point.

I didn't buy a smart phone until about five years ago. I don't like them. But, they're ubiquitous, and it's pretty hard to be without one and function in the world. The goal should not be to pretend they don't exist, but to reckon with your addiction or 'hyperconnectivity' issues and be able to deal with having one. They aren't going away, unfortunately, and in the future the world will continue to assume you have one, and expect you to use it.
> Get back to me when you've read some legal cases or know anyone who's been abused to produce such material

Hello, I'd be the anyone in this scenario. I don't believe that the pros outweigh the cons, violating the privacy of every single person to protect us from the absolute minority (abusers) of a minority (those attracted to children) is not worth the exchange.

CSAM detection would not have protected me from abuse. At best it would have prevented continued sexual abuse.

And yet had my abuser been caught early I would have been returned to a different, brutally abusive man. One whose abuse no one particularly seems to care about, because there's less to get righteous about when there's no sex involved in the abuse.

Just a thought.

Hypothesis making may be interpreted as interpolation/extrapolation in a hypothesis space plus some heuristics to reduce that search space based on previous knowledge/valid hypothesis, how much weight you give to said knowledge and evidence, and some soft and hard logic rules. That is in part what allows (some, not counting Dunning–Kruger here) humans how certain to be about what they're arguing/talking about.

Maybe if the LLM is refeed with how likely (i.e. how many samples/tokens support it's response) is the output in its datasets, it may reevaluate its confidence and rephrase its answer.

In the end, the real problem of hallucinations in LLMs is about its confidence in the correctness/plausability of its own output. But that is something 1) humans can also be guilty of; and 2) that is no purely negative, as it can be exploited to generate new knowledge when applying robust hypothesis validation and testing to said ideas.

As you say in your last paragraph, people who've made discoveries in some areas have been treated as insane when tackling problems from a new perspective or when disregarding previous knowledge. If they weren't so strongheaded about their ideas, maybe we wouldn't even be posting in this forum right now.

PS: Still, I agree LLMs commit laughable mistakes sometimes ;)
I have a flip phone myself, but it's not really a dumbphone. Articles like these don't really go deep into what dumbphones are even like nowadays. Usually, they run Android and come with all the standard features like internet and email. Hypothetically, I can even sideload apps onto this thing. The specs are obviously weak, but still a lot compared to a true dumbphone. My phone has 512MB of RAM and a 4GB SSD, but there's also another model of this phone that has 1GB of RAM and an 8GB SSD. All in all, true dumbphones are dead.

Assuming that you’re serious, let me reply with two things.

First, fossilized impressions in sand and mud are always distorted. Look at more and you’ll see. These impressions are actually remarkably well-preserved.

Second, you can’t be sure that the second footprints are any more real. I could easily carve fake feet out of wood and make those impressions. So could the artist.

Epistemology is everywhere, eh?
Ah, so it's not the act of disassembling that's the problem, but that you're infringing on the original code's copyright? That makes sense, thank you.
It happens in EU, UK, Norway, Switzerland too. As long as the operator pretends to "securely" delete dates of non offenders it's legal.
Great idea, I do lurk there, just might do that next time I look at the code. My hunch is that simd is the low hanging fruit julia brings. But, and I am not an expert, both might end up doing BLAS anyways, which is why they are so similar.
You can use your own internet connection, the car connects to WiFi.

In terms of my personal projects I am thinking for some time about using Rust in a way I usually use C - minimal dependencies, at most two level dependencies (my dependencies and their dependencies, no their dependencies dependencies). I could afford it, because of what I usually want to work on. Maybe at times even going further as sometimes I do with my C projects and forgo some parts or entirety of the standard library. It would not be a common Rust, but it would be safer than the usual C and would have some ergonomic wins.
Nobody is saying it’s bad for Apple to lock unauthenticated users out of a device.

The problem is Apple equating the completion of not just an on-boarding process, but an optional on-boarding process, with ownership. It’s that they have a feature to lock users out of their Mac but no procedure to actually bypass this lock for the legitimate owner of the device. Without such procedures, they should not have implemented such a lock.

I’m not even against Apple applying locks that they cannot break, such as with their enhanced security for iCloud, but the difference there is that Apple legitimately doesn’t control the keys, and that can only result in mere data loss rather than resulting in devices being totally bricked.

Can fitness be virtual reality's long awaited killer app?
Quite interesting. That doesn't seems like a complete falling apart but rather a (unintentional?) attempt of best of worlds since once set your dependencies on your binary, they will be pinned until you manually run a cargo update.

Granted that the supply chain attack defense would fall on the hands of the users of the library. Unless the library writer aggressively pins of dependencies on the Cargo.toml (not the default semver action), problematic, but at least Cargo allows multiple versions of dependencies on a program, on Python for instance this is much complicated scenario (but still the smallest of the dependencies problems there).

An argument of the left, however, goes that the employer of public-sector employees isn't actually the public at large, but rather a state controlled by the bourgeoisie that only claims to represent the public interest. In that case, both the public at large and public-sector employees are on the same side and both deserve union protection.
I never argued for restrictions (I don't agree with the article authors) and it's a real risk if powerful AI is only controlled by already powerful entities. My comment was about the dangers of equating AI safety with aligning chatbots and censoring diffusion models.

I'm curious - is there any mathjax/mathml/latex/whatever equivalent to Markdown?

Because every math extension seems to fail the one great feature of markdown: that when I view Markdown as plain text, it's still really legible and the amount of noise added by the markup is minimal, especially if you use the "underline with hyphens" syntax for headings.

Like, every time I see backslashes they're just distracting if I'm trying to read it raw.

Like is there any math format where the Quadratic Formula is just

-b ± √(b² - 4ac)
x = ----------------
2a

Obviously I'd expect something like this to be the output after running the text file through a formatter, just like how in Markdown it's common to reformat things as you go because they're hard to type manually.

Like with Markdown Tables.

Tables are extremely difficult to type in MD, and should never be done manually, right?

Basically, here's how you do tables in markdown:

First, you do them the wrong way, half-assed.

| Header1 |Header2 |Header3 |
|-|-|-|
| BodyRow1 Cell1 | Cell2 |Cell3|
| BodyRow2 Cell1 | Foo |Bar|

which looks like crap, right?

then you run them through a formatter and you get

| Header1 | Header2 | Header3 |
| -------------- | ------- | ------- |
| BodyRow1 Cell1 | Cell2 | Cell3 |
| BodyRow2 Cell1 | Foo | Bar |

which looks nice, right?

And then it becomes a real table when you convert your Markdown into Html/Pdf/Docx/whatever.

That's what I was wondering if there's anything similar for math.

Like, the way I'd type the Quadratic Formula would be

x = -b +- sqrt(-b-4ac)) over 2a

but when I run it through the code formatter, I'd expect to get cleaned up the same way my table did.

-b ± √̅(b² - 4ac)
x = ————————————————
2a
> If they hate it so much it shouldn't need tagging as it would be naturally lower ranked.

Lower ranked how? Not everything has a Reddit-esque upvote/downvote system. Plenty of sites let you browse by fandom/character/artist tags and just return chronological results (thinking primarily pixiv + all the booru-likes). Those sites were the ones where there was universal backlash to AI art and all of them require an AI-generated tag now.
Depends on who's perspective you look from. I'm one of those who believes that geopolitics is a lot more complicated than just one will, one goal, one result. I belive it's more like a lot of different people with a lot of different motivations. And in that mix are maybe certain people who have a knack for understanding the motivations of their peers, and exploiting them to their own ends.
Um, no. No horse is lying down during a hailstorm. They're under a tree or some kind of shelter. If they can't find shelter, they're standing up, butt to the wind, head down and ready to bolt at any second.

I agree, and I don't think the EU will be able to militarize to the degree required in the coming years.
