That's pretty cool. How do you ask an SAT solver for "the nearest integer with the same population count", and how do you describe the available bitwise operations to it?

It seems obvious Five Eyes will not tolerate or legitimize any email provider that doesn't allow them access to subpoenas, at the very least - this rules out most of the privacy features touted by protonmail & tutanota (no logs, E2E encryption, etc).

Perhaps what makes the ruse convincing in Tutanota's case is the crappy interface and clear dearth of basic features: search basically doesn't work; it's impossible to select all messages or use shift to select pages of messages. Their excuse is that customers might accidentally delete emails, but it might make more sense that they want to retain as much data as possible: https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/nc9jxx/suggestion...

Patrick Lewis on Retrieval Augmented Generation
Beyond super excited to publish our newest Weaviate Podcast with Patrick Lewis!

Patrick's works on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and NLP over corpora of documents have profoundly changed the field!

In the podcast we discuss many nuances and future directions of RAG, such as:
• The origin story of the original paper
• The Atlas experiments
• Fusion In-Decoder transformers
• End-to-end RAG
• Query Routers
• ConcurrentQA, Public and Private multi-hop QA
• Multi-Index Retrieval
• Designing new APIs tailored for LLMs
• Self-Instruct Knowledge Distillation
• Task-Aware Retrieval with Instructions
• Editing Text, EditEval and PEER
• What future directions excite you the most? (Similar to Generative Feedback Loops and MemGPT )

I am beyond grateful to Patrick for joining the podcast, I learned so much from this conversation and I hope you do as well!

I think this is a little gatekeep-y. Building static sites is real engineering. When you're building a site that scales in content (for e.g. one that contains thousands of pages that are updated regularly) you need to really know what you're doing. A CMS can help you manage your content, but you need to decide how to build your pages from it. There are things in the React space that can handle a lot of the complexity (for e.g. Next.js on Vercel with ISR), but you need an engineer to make the right trade offs.

You specifically mention low risk in your first point but not all jobs have the same risk profile and food delivery drivers absolutely do not have the same risk profiles as say, a retail worker. If the spectrum of "jobs we let teenagers do" is from Kidzania to food delivery cyclist, I think it's in the interest of said teenagers to tip the balance towards Kidzania.

Seriously! Roads are not a joke! Bikes don't have crumplezones! A significant minority of drivers actively target cyclists! The teenagers in these scenarios are also effectively operating under coercion when they swap with a registered driver! How could any of this be low risk?

I've seen a lot of articles on this, or sometimes called a degrading feedback loop. The more of the web that is LLM generated, then the more new models will be trained on generated data, and will fuzz out. Or 'drift'.

For a specific example. Sorry, I didn't grab screen shots at the time. It had to do with updating a datafame in pandas. It gave me solution that generated an error, I'd continue to ask it to change steps to fix previous errors, and it would go in a circle, fix it, but generate other warnings, and further changes to eliminate warnings, and it would recommend the same thing that originally caused an error.

Also. I'm a big fan. Use GPT-4 all the time. SO not waving away, but kind of curious how it sometimes fails in un-expected ways.
I’m not going to use gpt, at least not for coding. That’s not something I’m hearing other programmers say, at least not often. They may say it’s not good enough, yet, or that they as a senior dev don’t have any use for it. These strike me as cope. What I say is that I’m just not going to use it. I’m not sure if it’s a political decision I’ve made, but I’m sure it’s the right decision for me. I will simply change careers or go homeless before I try and compete with these great new efficiencies. I won’t take part in the disruption. It’s clearly degenerate.

At work I happily use Linux for all the tricks and updates and whatnot I actually need to do to win my bread. And someone else will happily use MacOS for artistry... so?

Yes but RAG isn't re-surfacing memories, it's re-surfacing documents i.e. the source of memories. That's what this new paper tackles: how do you resurface actual memories or the closest analogy at the neural architecture level.
That sounds like a manager problem, to be fair.

I've found it's useful to think of it through a lens of "expectations." The organization that pays me money (my place of work) has a set of goals it wants to achieve. In order to achieve those goals it hires representatives (my boss, his boss, etc.) to orchestrate the achievement of those goals. So now I am hired to help move those goals forward, and in return I am compensated with money.

However, an organization's goals, and its expectations of what it can and requires to achieve, as well as how long it will take, are dynamic. That means its representatives decide what those goals are. If I can convince my boss/skip/what-have-you that certain goals will require more time and more resources, then I can stretch their expectations into the future in such a way that they benefit my ends.

So long as my boss's expectations are met, then I am "getting the job done."

No different than if my boss decides to press screws into my thumbs on another "top priority project that needs to be done ASAP" to put pressure on me so that he can achieve his goals.

So perhaps a better way to measure productivity -- if we are to put a word to it -- is from the age-old intuitive standpoint: does it feel like we are moving closer to, and achieving, our goals? I think an approach any more concrete or systematic than that is just a tool for gaining leverage in the aforementioned negotiations.

It is still violent. I come from a poor country, where violence is extremely common, I've been robbed both at gunpoint as by veiled threats multiple times, being robbed is violent no matter if a gun, knife, or any other weapon is displayed or not.

I feel sympathy for the ones causing it, getting to that point isn't in the majority of cases by choice and much more stemming from systemic issues, still it's violence against another human being, there's no sympathy that will change this.

I have had to redo my teeth due to a medical issue. My insurance paid for the medical issue. My teeth though? This year alone I've spent 13k out of pocket after maxing out my dental insurance. Next year will be the same. and the year after. And I'm paying for insurance while paying all of this.
Yeah I see your point. A few thoughts:

1. This assumes that that a someone can/will usually accurately scope 4 stories, with proper requirements, and clear peer review standards. In practice, this can be hard to do and inconsistent.

2. If someone falls behind on their assigned story quota, how would a manager know whether that is because the story didn't meet the criteria in item 1, or because the person isn't putting in sufficient effort because of OE or other commitments? How I typically see this play out is most people assume that its not related to effort and try to work with the employee to push back deadlines and better refine the story.
Including in 2022 with the self-created programming language the post is about, which is just amazing, and lives somewhere in my head near FlaSh's 2020 decision to switch to playing pro StarCraft Brood War tournaments as the Random race -- requiring him to become world-class at three races (nine race matchups) while his opponents only have to be world-class at one race (three race matchups). FlaSh came third in the largest tournament that year.

From the post:

> I think I predicted that requiring myself to use only Noulith on Advent of Code would make my median leaderboard performance better but my worst-case and average performances significantly worse. I don’t think my median performance improved, but my worst-case performance definitely got worse. Somehow it still didn’t matter and I placed top of the leaderboard anyway. (I will note that 2021’s second to fourth place all didn’t do 2022.)
C++ is horrendous when it comes to backwards compatibility and builds.

If you believe that you won't run into a compiler bug in a large enough sampling of C++ code to build against you are misrepresenting reality or haven't ever looked at the gcc or clang bug trackers.

Rust actually does a really nice job along these lines by continuously building and running test for some subset of crates in crates.io

The only thing maybe even close to that with gcc/clang involved I've seen is nixos's hydra.

This is basically folk psychology though, not necessarily representative of the actual mechanisms that are being used. This is a common mistake I see in comparisons of ML and neuroscience or psychology.

ML is all about mechanistic models for things, where we know all the details. We simply don't have any such mechanistic models of how the brain works, all we have are speculative models and folk concepts, ie. how things seem to us not how they are. I'm just very skeptical that these are enough to be confident in claims like this not being how we actually do things in reality.

For instance, the anteretrograde amnesia you describe certainly isn't a common feature of the brain as a whole, but can you really say that it isn't a feature of some parts of the brain responsible for cognition, and then some RAG-like mechanism isn't used to eliminate that problem to give the outward appearance of no amnesia?

Apple is literally the definition of continuity. All of their apps have looked great and have remained consistent since OS X was initially released. Recent exception is the changes to the system settings panel, but the old design was the same for like 15 years.

Just going through the "Let's finish setting up your PC!" that pops up after certain Windows updates (which is a problem in and of itself) illustrates the design inconsistency. Each stage of the wizard is a distinct web view rendering a completely different UI that has different fonts and buttons. You can get them to glitch and scroll a-la old school iframes, too.

The context menus in Win11? They are fancy and new but 90% of the functions you want and need are hidden behind a disclosure menu that - you guessed it - pops out an ancient looking Windows 10 menu. Why even add the facade with limited functions? Just keep the old menu.

I could probably write a 20 page blog post on all the UI fuckery in Windows 11.

There is something to be said for the MSC stuff / management console remaining the same all these years ... but at that point we could all just be happy on Windows 2K shell with modern kernel and security enhancements.

Those reports are not to find tax evasion. They are to detect large scale money laundering and to build aggregate money flow statistics (X billions entered/left country in the last year).

That person you're replying to isn't the original commenter who implied that it's cheaper to get healthcare in US due to salarys.
Well there is one argument that, in my opinion, is a reasonable one.

We should try to improve and solve some of our cultural, philosophy, and systemic problems -before- we replicate them in isolated pockets of humanity. Otherwise we might suffer a replication crisis, where cultural and societal advancements are not shared by all.

For example, many dystopian media in the past few decades has focused on images of what a hyper capitalistic society could look like in space. Where you may have to pay for every breath, pay for literally existing in a space. A society where every day of your life must be profitable and servicing the corporations you have sworn fealty, a world where the only purpose for the foreseeable future is growth and commerce.

Perhaps having a society that is a bit more communally focused, and less self centered. One where the purpose of society is to nurture and spread life to where complex life does not exist. A society where the primary driver isn't growth for growth's sake.

The argument is that if we ignore our cultural and philosophical short comings, we could replicate them. Why is replicating them bad? Because the stakes are so much higher when you have a space fairing race. Do you know what a small crew of technically literate people could do with the tech a society building a mar colony would require? Capture and redirect an asteroid, and if they were half intelligent they would know that the best way for it to go undetected would be to play the long game and give it a long trajectory out of the solar plane where most of the solar systems mass is. Or they could just as easily purposefully seed a planet's orbit with debris to create an intentional Kessler's syndrome. And you might say that these are outlandish, but any society that lives in space or on an non-terraformed would be a society where the base competency would be vastly higher due to survival pressures.

So, yes we should keep advancing tech but I think it's an obvious deficiency with our silicon valley minded leaders. We don't put any time/money/energy into the fundamental problems of our society because these newage business men have been indoctrinated into the ideology that technology is the one and only savior. It's important, but you can't build a society or a building with only one pillar.
i havent found much use for it otoh outside programming code. I tried my best to make it help me review some papers, but it just comes back with generic replies and many errors. It isnt even good at finding typos. One thing it did, it deanonymized a paper because it was uploaded to biorxiv (but i could have done that googling). I am struggling to find uses for it beyond text beautification.

OTOH, I have found a use for stablediffusion that actually resulted to some income.
If the promises behind the current hype on AI are correct, this means the end of the middle classes, the end of any chance of social mobility. So, it is going to accelerate things that were already in motion, but by a massive factor.

And it is pretty ironic that a lot of the capital that went into this was the result of massive monetary expansion that led initially to massive asset inflation and later to garden variety inflation. The thing with inflation is that is never distributively neutral, it is always a wealth transfer engine.

Richer people in a inflationary expansion are able to capture a lot of the early money, and so the capital holding class are able to do things like dabbling first on self-driving cars, and now on massive LL Models.

So, basically, we are transfering income and wealth from the poor to enable the rich to get rid of their need of buying labor from the poor.

How this doesn't end in a dystopian dictatorship beyond any of the worst nightmares of people like Orwell, or else in a Frank Hebert's "Butlerian Jihad" is something that I am at a loss of imagination to see.

Google could attempt a traffic correlation attack when someone visits YouTube, Google or Gmail. They run the first hop and the web service. In Tor, this would be like running the Guard and Exit Node.

For example, Wade looks at the YouTube homepage, watches a video, returns to the homepage and watches another video.

For each of these actions, Wade's IP address to the Google proxy stays the same. Also for each of these actions, the YouTube account or cookie stays the same.

All of Wade's browsing uses the Google proxy, and YouTube can't see the IP address. But thousands of times, the same volume of data goes through the proxy at the same time YouTube sends it. Over time, Google could guess that IP address A is connected to YouTube account B.
I would agree as long as it doesn't violate anything they signed with the employers. Most companies I've worked for had me sign things that would prevent me from working on the side.

People need different metaphors. So it's often good to present students with a slate of them; if one doesn't work, try another.

It's important not to get stuck on the metaphor, but in practice all but the weirdest of us need them to bootstrap into a mathematical intuition.

This one does absolutely nothing for me either; even casting my mindset back to when I first encountered the episilon-delta treatement I don't think this would have helped me. But if it helps others, that's great.

Also, I think this is a concise treatment. If I were to try to present this to a math class, I'd expand it into at least half a class session, if not a full one. Terry Tao is presenting the metaphor fairly directly, not for pedagogical purposes on this post itself. If 3Blue1Brown took this post and ran with it I'm sure a lot more people would find the result useful at that density of presentation.
I don't believe I have forgotten. I'm assuming it will be able to pay for not-great-but-liveable housing, sufficient food, and healthcare. That is a life that I consider to be completely without any physical need for traditional income.

Granted, there are people that want more material things, and they would be motivated to labor for those things. However, my intuition tells me they're not a majority -- or enough to continue supplanting the UBI coffers.
