Yeah, it's very weird the way people act as if the religious aren't choosing how to live, what to think and what action to take, moment by moment any more or less than the irreligious.

In my experience in North America I've found that those raised irreligious are generally far more in touch with living an inherent "do unto others" than people that have exceptions and biases against that rule due to a holy writ they can selectively pluck from.
I've put the "Package Opener" tool on my Leatherman Wingman (https://www.leatherman.com/wingman-11.html) to good use for many years against these clamshell/blister/etc. packages. It's a good design. Sharp but not too sharp, pointy enough to push through the plastic to get started, and angled properly so you can pull a clean cut around the perimeter.

> I wish more people grasped this extremely important point. AI is a tool. There will be humans who misuse any tool. That doesn't mean we blame the tool. The problem to be solved here is not how to control AI, but how to minimize the damage that bad acting humans can do.

Trouble is, we don't know how to do minimise the damage that bad acting humans can do with a tool that can do the thinking for them. Or even if we can. And that's assuming nobody is dumb enough to put the tool into a loop, give it some money, and leave it unsupervised.
> If competition is fierce, obviously there isn't enough housing.

Well we agree on that. The problem with taking away people's property rights is that it fucks incentives to actually fix the problem by creating new things. The solution here is building new housing, that won't happen if you take away landlords rights.

Your policy means that it's impossible to move to in demand areas unless you're willing to buy.

> the RoPE embeddings in Code Llama were designed for this.

The RoPE embeddings were not "designed" for that. The original RoPE was not designed with length extrapolation in mind. Subsequent tweaks to extrapolate RoPE (e.g. position interpolation) are post-hoc tweaks (with optional tuning) to an entirely vanilla RoPE implementation.

I don't think that the theory of evolution was the issue in 2021...

Here's an example that happened in France: parents disgusted by a performance where an adult male performer was pretending, in front of kids, to eat vegetables in a garden, naked, in front of kids "because ecological art" (or whatever that performance was called) [1]

I'm sure I'm the evil, close minded, one, who refuses to see the "art" and the "ecology" in that performance and who sees instead the perversion of kids.

But while I'm the evil one who is seeing perversion, there were people involved in showing an adult male, on all fours, balls and dick out, ass spread, because he had an important message to pass (certainly).

Do that to my kid, and my kid is getting homeschooled the next day.

I don't have a problem with anyone but I do have a problem with proselytism.

[1] the art performance (call it what you want) is now forbidden to be shown to kids (so there's still some sanity out there)... Video of the performance kids saw (the one inside the tweet):

Yes, that's part of the problem with defining happiness in terms of external status and materialistic wealth. Hedonic adaptation tends to erode it rather quickly. With that said, happiness is a subjective measure so of course the measurement will be relative.

But that still diverts from the issue. It wasn't about relative wealth. It was about the claim that the primary driver of happiness is housing. Absent any additional evidence, it doesn't seem to be the case.
> We're setting ourselves up for another "failure of imagination".

But we're not being scientific. We're over-indexing on wild imagination.

This game of "what if" is being played by everyone except for the stakeholders that are telling you to slow down and listen to what's actually being built. Laymen and sci-fi daydreamers are selling fears and piling up hurdles that do not match the problem.

In any case, none of this hand-wringing will actually result in tangible "extinction prevention" regulation. So I'm not worried on that front. The concern is that this gives regulators a smoke screen to make it harder for small companies to compete. And that's what's actually happening right now.
It's not, Firefox works perfectly and blocks it from autoplaying.
I think this is a big part of why some people complain about programming languages and environments seeming to tend towards shorter periods of backward compatibility.

It's frustrating when a piece of software or a library has been functionally "finished" for a long time, but still periodically needs maintenance and updating to accommodate changes that really have nothing to do with the purpose of the program itself. this is probably the one aspect of the Python2->3 complaint that I sympathize with.

The fact that HN overall doesn’t understand is a bit revealing. The overall negativity is also surprising.
The title of this post is wrong and misleading. ROScribe is not a platform, let alone a robotic platform. It's a tool for generating code for a robotic platform (ROS). I feel the need to clarify this because there is a ton of people who don't understand the difference between a user interface for a system (which ROScribe is for ROS code) and the system itself, and I think that this confusion is cause for much of the hype. What's important to ask is: Does the new technology, in this case LLMs, solve some hard problems in the application area (here robotics), or is it mostly "syntactic sugar", a nice-to-have.

I mean you can laugh about the most ridiculous component of that groups worldview (which of course is not representative of many religious homeschoolers), but I think thats probably a good sign in comparison to the stuff a lot of parents sending their kids to public school think.

Not believing in evolution isn't a morality issue, a lot of the stuff that those folks are probably trying to avoid by homeschooling is. In other words, I wouldn't be worried about my kids spending the night at the house with the very conservative non-evolution believing family. That definitely counts for something.
That's right, look at this thread for example:

https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20...

The Global Value Numbering pass in LLVM was iterating over `DenseMap<BasicBlock*, ...>`, so the iteration order was dependent on the value of BasicBlock pointers. This could lead to the same source files and compiler producing different binaries.
The reality is no one cares about that, relative to their own wallets.
That makes sense, I'd still like to know what kind of footprint the combined decoder needs.
Your presentation makes it sound as if rabbinic approval / directives / whatever somehow pushed the response to hamas. Following the English and Hebrew news I see none of that.

You're probably conflating the general fact that the nationalist and religious factions overlap (though there are a great many religious groups in Israel that are not nationalist at all - pretty much all the ultra orthodox), and said nationalists have made extreme statements in the past. But the response to hamas has little to do with that.

(this is my most relevant response to the point you're making, so I'll hold off on the otber incorrect assumptions/statements).
The sources are urls to the cited page (e.g. stackoverflow.com, pkg.go.dev). In the side-bar next to the answer is a more standard search-result style link list with pulled quotes from the pages (like a Google search).

I didn't click every single link (as I mentioned, the citations are copious) but the few I did follow went to relevant articles. I just went back and randomly clicked several more and they all went to pages that exist and mostly relate to the content of the answer. The inline citations seem a bit more on-topic compared to the side bar which does seem more like the links were lifted directly from a search engine.

To be fair there are some lower-quality blog-spammy kinda stuff - more or less the same kind of thing you would get out of Google. But compared to GPT-4, which provides no sources whatsoever, it is an advantage IMO.

Why? Because the man-made horrors beyond mortal comprehension seem to bring in the money, so far. Because the society we're in is used to mere compensation and prison time being suitable results from poor decisions leading to automations exploding in people's faces (literally or metaphorically), not things that can eat everyone.

And then there's the cases of hubris where people only imagine they understand the powerful thing, but they don't, like Chernobyl exploding and basically every time someone is hacked or defrauded.

> Encouraging researching the scientific method is itself indoctrination

Of course it’s not. Indoctrination is encouraging belief and adherence without question, the scientific method is to only accept after rigorously questioning. It’s trivially easy to apply that recursively. One who questions the scientific method is then by definition not indoctrinated and has not reached their belief via indoctrination.
Actually, yes I am pointing out low hanging fruit here. These approaches do not have "profound consequences" for inference or training performance. In fact, sentence transformer models run orders of magnitude more quickly. Performance penalties will be small.

Also, I actually have several top NLP conference publications, so I'm not some charlatan when I say these things. I've actually physically used and seen these techniques improve LLM recall. It really actually works.

Yeah but that only proves my original point that Apple only admits mistakes when the public scandals are so violent it can't possibly deny them anymore as the shit pile broomed under the carped has grown so large it makes even them trip on it, so then they just enter damage control mode and PR recovery but not out of the kindness of their heart but because of media backlash.

But they never have the common sense to release statements like "hey, the latest MacOS update might brick some systems so we're pulling the updated until we can do further testing and patching, if you've been affected by the bug already go to a Apple store and have it fixed for free".
> Meaning you can't use the software because that would be copyright infringement?

Using the software is explicitly not copyright infringement. Private modification probably isn't either. Generally you don't need anyone's license to use your private property as you see fit; copyright is an exception but it only applies to a limited set of things.

This is a clickbait-y headline, what actually happened is that OpenAI rolled out a new feature for summarizing PDFs, which a few folks had already oriented their startup around.

So now that this previously 3rd party feature is fully integrated into ChatGPT, that effectively kills any separate app trying to do the same thing.

The fact is, building a whole company that is basically a wrapper around ChatGPT never had any moat to begin with, and I'm not at all surprised that OpenAI would see what cool things people are building on top of ChatGPT and decide to offer that functionality themselves. It's predatory for sure, similar to what Apple has done over time by copying iOS features enabled by jailbreaking, but not surprising in the least.

TCP was designed in 1974. Ethernet was designed in 1980. UDP was designed in 1980. ICMP was designed in 1981. ARP was designed in 1982. Think about the computing power available in 1974 or 1980-1982. If you break it down into chunks and follow the RFCs it's manageable. tap gives you easy access to read/write ethernet packets. From there you can start sending ARP queries and responding to ARP requests. ICMP is simple, adds support for that and now you can ping. UDP? just as simple. TCP is more work but most of that is error handling and timeouts so skip them for now.
> Encouraging researching the scientific method is itself indoctrination

If you're thinking critically about it (i.e. testing it, questioning its predictions and assumptions, et cetera), it's not indoctrination. If it is, then you've broadened the definition of indoctrination to be equivalent to thought, which is a useless overgeneralization.

And to be clear, you can be religious and not be indoctrinated.

It looks more like you're questioning whether the filesystem that Linus just merged does obviously wrong things for the simplest test cases of its headline features.

Because this doesn't quite look like trying to learn, it looks like trying to find an excuse to dismiss bcachefs before even reading any of the docs.
