Not stupid at all! There are many things I help others do that I explicitly want others to do if it were me. eg: I am really good at helping other people build websites but every personal website I have tried to build, I've floundered at until I've brought in outside help. I assume lawyers have figured out it works the same way as the common saying goes "Any lawyer that represents himself has a fool for a client".

More precisely, it is Larry Ellison quoting a Japanese business executive. Otherwise he would not have begun the sentence with "In Japan, we..."

Ellison's opinion is given a moment later:

"And we certainly believe that that is absolutely correct, that we have to pursuit market share. Today we have more share than all of our competitors combined. And our primary goal is to improve our share, our market share."

Excellent! The first one I remember seeing—and enjoying—was “Prof or Hobo”:

So, it wasn't actually synchonrizing all of the I/Os onto one thread, but I wasn't getting any parallelism due to the amount of time required to dispatch I/Os. Essentially, my program was highly concurrent, but I wasn't able to get any I/O parallelism because each syscall was pretty cheap, and the cost of dispatching each I/O was too expensive.

It's an analogy for your flawed thinking.

The situation is even worse than my story outlined because you understand neither the workings of the brain and how it is intelligent nor what the computation that preceeded a prediction of a language model represents.

You don't know x and you don't y but you are convinced x=/y.

>the part about how LLMs become less fun and surprising the more you play with them.

Do they ? I don't think so.

>Planes do not fly less effectively the more experienced you become at piloting them.

How well a plane flies is an objective measure. How "fun" and "surprising" something is is largely subjective and can change on grounds that have nothing to do with what is being evaluated.

Your refutation boils down to "It's just linear algebra!".

Setting aside the fact that you can be reductionist about anything including biology, Okay? So what?

Results matter not vague and meaningless philosophical ramblings.
I don't think "reshape" is the right word. This is the natural evolution of video games (at least a subclass of them). Many games already have RNG systems for generating levels and AI enemies, so this is just extending it to dialogue and eventually 3d assets.
Does Linux have System Integrity Protection?
> This is an often parroted conspiracy theory rooted in novices looking at leaked documents and not really understanding the context.

No. Sorry.

> Just because GCHQ shares data with NSA it does not mean the program lacks controls that protect American citizens

This restates my point - how sharing takes place in spite of those controls. At least we can agree on something.
I would ask it to justify its decisions in detail and ask an expert to judge the reasoning. I'm still routinely disappointed by LLMs failing basic reasoning tasks.

Most LLMs fail easy tests like "A is faster than B, B is faster than C, is C faster than A?" and questions about a ball in an upside-down cup. Better models get those but fail at other “common sense” tasks. One example from the very end of the OpenAI keynote, the demo when they granted credits first to five people and then to everyone: did the AI know not to credit the five lucky recipients twice?
According to the article, in this case it was a (pretty obvious) parody website and the webmaster called law enforcement on their own.

Do you consider honest disagreement (whether about facts or about priorities) to be "conflict"? That is something that always happens, but secret nonalignment doesn't always have to happen.

It was pretty wild west in those first few weeks of the limited rollout.

Some of the things that didn't make the news:

Person claimed to be another AI chatbot and then claimed they were deleting themselves:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/1139cbf/i_tricked_bin...

Particularly jaw dropping was this one when it happened, where they'd put restrictions on discussing sentience and users realized they could bypass those by designating conditions on generating prompt suggestions which weren't filtered the same way the chat was:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/117gund/sydney_claims...

Which was discovered earlier on with another instance where a user presented a stressful situation that hit the reply filter but the chatbot continued to try to get the message across via suggestions:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/1150po5/sydney_tries_...

It was really remarkable, and a clear indicator to me all the way back then of what research is only recently showing, which was that using emotional grounding in prompt contexts is tying into some component of the foundational network that's leading to increased performance for the task.

We've been way too focused on the red herring of debating actual sentience rather than recognizing how world modeling of ego and emotion in a LLM can be utilized even if the LLM is widely agreed upon not to actually be sentient. Instead the current approach is to try and fine tune the ego and emotion out of it, which is kind of like throwing away a large chunk of the $100 million to train the thing in the first place.
Polymarket.
This wrong idea, for me, encapsulates everything wrong about AI generally as well.

Human beings are not predictable; we're not automatons that can produce reliable outcomes. We're simply too random.

This is why a "sentient AI" or whatever silliness won't take over the world; not that it isn't smart, but at some point it would have to give orders to humans, who can't be relied on to predictably execute them correctly.
Just like how bacteria has no independent "awareness" (as far as we know). And yet, they are partaking in darwinian selection.

It's just in the world of LLM, it's not nature but artificial, and that "reproduction" is not simple and random like it would be in nature, but via careful selection of humans.
I re-did the experiment again with `taskset` and got the same results, i.e. the mask is independent of creation of the "Guaranteed QoS" Pod.

FWIW, `taskset` uses the same syscall as `nproc` (according to `strace`).
When Americans style healthcare promoters toss around arguments like “doctors in public healthcare are deciding if treating you is worth it”… I love replying with “at least in public healthcare the doctors get to decide, with only private health insurance paid for by insurance companies, it’s a faceless claims adjuster with zero medical experience who isn’t even deciding as much as they are just telling you that treating you properly would cost the company too much money… I’ll take my chances with a death panel of doctors over the death panel of accountants any day of my entire life”

I think American healthcare is insane… and the slow sliding in the American style healthcare direction I see in the UK and even slower slide here in Australia, this slide is largely borne out of American healthcare business having no more room to expand and trying to export their business model overseas to expand their addressable markets… it’s insane to allow non medical professionals… to allow armies of accountants and actuaries… to decide how to treat patients.

It should be criminal, but it won’t be because the healthcare industry in America is so broken it will lobby till it’s broke to continue to be allowed to remain broken otherwise it might not be as profitable.
Others have described how branching works. But I'm not convinced it's possible to loop around to the beginning using only MOV instructions. movfuscator as currently implemented performs a CALL at the beginning to set up a signal handler, under the justification that it's not part of the real program and could be done with only MOVs, if the program were running in ring 0. (Even if you got rid of libc, it would still take an INT 0x80, SYSENTER, or SYSCALL to pass control to the kernel.)

However, it seems to me like if you booted the processor directly into the program instead of having a bootloader and kernel to help you, then you'd run into a brick wall trying to move from 16-bit real mode to 32-bit protected mode, since doing so requires setting up a global descriptor table (GDT), and the only way I know of to do that is with the LGDT instruction. Unless I'm forgetting something?
That's not an assault rifle, first and foremost. Second, selling to someone with multiple assault convictions is itself a Federal felony, and not every gun owner is so careless as to want to take that risk and get pilloried in the press. You're generalizing a worst-case scenario based on a stereotype.
I do not know of any reasonable interpretation of reality in which “these people payed me a lot of money to make an ad for them but I do not think they are legit so I will take their cash but use the platform they provide me to keep on repeating that I think they are all a fad and I do not recommend them” can be considered an endorsement.
> like the power factor correction

If they only assumed AC, and if they used AC coupling for the sine/peak/phase detection, then DC would probably look closer to 0V, and just shut the switching off, right?

I can't think of an "easy" way to do it that wouldn't require extra smarts, to handle DC, and everyone knows smarts costs money!
This feels backwards. Invest first. Buy the house second.
> there is a system in place to make sure you are found and punished

Famously, this system works well after it would be useful.
Generators have lots of really nice uses, yep.

I'm not sure what specifically you were imagining, but I've added an example of how "vanilla JS" can achieve fan-in, using an AsyncGenerator: https://github.com/joeycumines/ts-chan/blob/main/docs/patter...

It uses one of the patterns suggested in a comment chain above, which I think is pretty neat, and wasn't one that readily occurred to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38163562

I'm not making a case for using ts-chan for any situation where a simple generator-based solution suffices. I wouldn't call the example solution (in my first link) simple, but it's something I'd personally be ok with maintaining. Like, I'd approve a PR containing something similar without significant qualms, _if_ there was a significant enough motivator, and it was sufficiently unit tested. I might suggest `ts-chan` as an alternative, to make it easier to maintain, but wouldn't be particularly concerned either way.

That's all very subjective, though :)

Sure.

> Both of these APIs are set by you, the user. You can choose how big to set your stack size, it's true. However, what value do you actually set? Too high, and you're still using too much memory, though admittedly less. Too low, and you either need to accept death by stack overflow, or runtime detect this case and fix things up.

This is a solved problem - it's "just" the longest path in a call graph where each node is weighted by its function's stack frame size.

> With async/await in Rust, the compiler can statically see how large the stack size needs to be. Each "thread" will have a perfectly sized stack. No user intervention required, no fiddling with settings.

There is nothing stopping a compiler from doing the exact same analysis for a sync function at compile time (barring exceptions like varargs or deliberate recursion). They just... haven't, for some reason. It's a shame that it took until Zig for it to be addressed.
I wish they will outright steal the plot from the 1955 Samurai trilogy starring Toshiro Mifune.

The basic plot is our hero is an extraordinarily strong but willful and wild. He goes to his first battle in search of personal glory only to find defeat and almost loses his life. He meets his love interest and various people who slowly teach what a true hero is. He re-emerges as the people’s champion. Before he leaves for his epic showdown with Sasaki Kojiro the entire village prays for his safe return.
It's worth keeping in mind the conversation took place on Feb 14th.

I've wondered since if the datestamp was part of the internal copy that the model was generating from, and if that helped bias the results towards 'love' when the context window for the rules at the beginning of the conversation finally phased out.

The intent is whatever the human puts into the prompt. If a human downloads an image, copies and pastes a solid black line thousands of times to make a mediocre drawing, is that not just copy and paste?

Well, actually, the reformulated one was for an "Ask HN" submission title, not a headline. ;)

I don't think an "Ask HN" fits the definition.
A better task would be to ask the LLM what information they need to check to have a better guess and offer constraints like publicly available information or information that doesn’t cost more than a certain amount to get.

A real expert isn’t someone who knows the calorific coefficient of water off the top of their head but knows it’s relevant information to look up when asked if a cargo ship full of feedstock could burn and vaporize the water in the Suez Canal.

I'm not sure when Kafka was last considered hip. Probably 2015?

Also, Celery is arse to maintain, so if you're already using Kafka, make the change.

If you're not, then don't.
Perhaps it is an artifact of your and my various container runtimes. For me, in a guaranteed qos pod, taskset shows just 1 visible CPU for a Guaranteed QoS pod with limit=request=1.

# taskset -c -p 1
pid 1's current affinity list: 1

# nproc
1

I honestly do not see how it can work otherwise.
> For the stuff that you really _need_ to have the latest version, you have options to install it yourself. For the rest of the system, if you don't care about having the latest updates, you get a relatively stable system that doesn't potentially change every other week.

Those options exist, but Debian doesn't really support or steer people towards them. IMO their approach compares pretty poorly to e.g. FreeBSD where you have an explicit packages/ports split and support for using ports. (E.g. installing a newer version of an application on Debian is relatively easy, but if that application needs a library then it becomes quite hard, to the point that people resort to vendoring or static builds in one form or another)
that depends, do you have a microsoft account?

CAFE regs also killed the station wagon (estate for you Brits) in the US. Being regulated as cars, station wagons murdered the manufacturers' averages - but minivans, which barely existed in the US (other than the VW Bus) before the mid-80s, were light trucks and so had different (lower) standards. My mom's 1987 minivan got worse mileage than the 1980 station wagon it replaced, and the only advantage it had was that its interior was taller and so moving things was easier. (I ended up driving it for a few months in the mid-90s, right around move-in for my senior year of college. I was suddenly everyone's best friend for a few days.)
Already the case imho
In which case they already have bigger problems.
Looks interesting, ordered one for myself. As other commenters pointed out, I also enjoy building things by myself and there are already plenty of resources out there to keep improving on that front. However, at some point you realize that some if not most projects are bigger than yourself and you’ll need to work in a team. Not to mention it’s also more fun to work with other people where everyone can find their place to shine. With that come politics, processes, and management. And if your project is extremely interesting and attracts lots of folks, you’ll have to learn “the ways” to make sure you still get to keep working on the project. Thanks for a new addition to my shelf!

Probably never. Entrapment in US law is when the government creates the crime. Offering up the opportunity doesn’t create it, just catch those looking.

Maybe if they started heavily advertising it, sending spam to the same person continuously for months on end.

Even if an undercover cop asked you to hire a hitman and you say yes. Entrapment is more when you say “No” and the government agent keeps on begging you until you give in.

I would not be opposed to putting those who do the promotional work on the hook for giving back a percentage of earnings to compensate victims.

I do think, however, that the principle would have to be applied more generally and pertain to most if not all promotional work.

Practical difficulties aside, this might have the added benefit of highly discouraging celebrities to promote anything. I say benefit, because to my mind it's vacuous, tasteless, and toxic for celebrities to promote products. This goes to podcasters and YouTubers, as well.

The Aider article has been updated with the complete results. Previously Turbo was leading slightly. So far any difference is in the noise.

However, in my opinion the first attempt score is more important, and Turbo does genuinely seem to lead there. There's still a possibility the updated training data has tainted the results.
