Indeed, after being frustrated with existing frameworks, 7 months ago, we started buidling Langroid[1] Multi-Agent LLM framework. It has an elegant Inter-agent orchestration mechanism[2], among many other things. We’ve taken a measured approach to avoid bloat and excess abstractions. We have a company using it in production to assist contact-center/customer-support agents.

[1] https://github.com/langroid/langroid

From the README:

Langroid is an intuitive, lightweight, extensible and principled Python framework to easily build LLM-powered applications, from ex-CMU and UW-Madison researchers. You set up Agents, equip them with optional components (LLM, vector-store and tools/functions), assign them tasks, and have them collaboratively solve a problem by exchanging messages.

No, that just seems to be variable speed power assisted steering - so at high speeds it gives you little assistance, at low speeds it gives you loads.

With this it literally changes how much your wheel turns for the same amount of steering wheel/yoke movement. So at high speeds turning the yoke by 90 degrees will turn the wheels maybe 10 degrees so you don't kill yourself, but at low speeds the exact same movement will move the wheels 45 degrees so the car is a lot more manoeuvrable.

Certainly, it's a plausible theory that Spain being so far off its "natural" solar time (because Franco supposedly switched timezone in WWII to be in sync with Germany) leads to the late dinners--and one I've often heard.

With low level devices, I have been amazed at how many hackish things are done by people who don't have sufficient experience developing such things. I would not be surprised to find out that they are parsing or storing the value without the leading decimal, and depending on code in some other place to prepend the leading decimal, and there be a corner case or something that misses this, and no safety checks or even sanity checks.
Genetics play a huge part as well. From birth, we're given a death clock, which goes downward as stressors hit us, then further as we relive that stress.

I absolutely loved reading Lem as a kid.

I really enjoyed the short novel "Automatthew's Friend" - it was written decades earlier, but the circumstances were something I could imagine happening in my lifetime (a helpful, robotic "friend" living in your ear). Then, a couple decades later, I tried Siri with Airpods, and had this staggering realization: I'm living in a sci-fi book, right here, right now. I arrived in that future world, and almost didn't notice.

I really recommend the story; it speculates on the impact of inviting "personal" technology into our lives. What's really bothering me, is that I needed to put a literal talking robot into my ear to realize what happened; but the same level of "personalization" of technology is already happening everywhere you look: PCs, phones, TVs, fridges, sound systems, timepieces, door keys, light bulbs... We're sticking a CPU, a network interface, and our credentials into all of these things like it's something completely natural, without stopping to think about the impact on our selves.

> I feel like the open source LLMs that are out there are never advertised/compared by their vocab list size.

Increasing the vocab size increases training costs with little improvement in evaluation performance (how "smart" it is) and relatively not a ton of evaluation speed improvement. Words not in the dictionary can be made with several tokens. GPT3.5turbo/GPT4 uses 2 for "compared", "comp" and "ared".

That's not to say the existing vocab lists can't be further optimized, but there's been a lot more focus on the parameter count, structure, training/finetuning optimizations like LoRA, quantization methods, and training data, as these are what actually embed the information of how to predict the correct token.

There are a few cases where the vocab list is very important and you will see it mentioned. The more human languages you want to support the more tokens you'll generally want. GPT3's old tokenizer used to not have 4 spaces " " as a token which wasn't great for programming, so their "codex" model had a different tokenizer that did.

Other cases for specialized tokens include special characters like "fill-in-the-middle", control tokens for "<System>","</System>","<Prompt>","</Prompt>", and a few things of that nature.

A lot of llama models have added a few extra control tokens for a few different purposes. Note that because tokens are mapped from a number - you can generally add a new token and just finetune the model a bit to embed the information in the model, but you generally don't want to change existing tokens which have already had their usage "baked" into the model.

Low-end hardware in 1995 was something like i386 with 1 Mb RAM, meaning that just a modern Unicode font would consume most of the memory available to a program, probably leaving no enough space for the rendering code (which is not small by standards of that time). In 2nd half of 1990s I still maintained a classroom with 15 IBM PC XTs, which were still doing their jobs (our most modern hardware were Pentiums with 16 Mb RAM IIRC).

Population of Syria is nearly just as young. I don't see anything to justify 4 times as high children death percentage there.

I think reporters are there, after all they are getting killed too. Again I can't blame Israel for trying to keep repoters away since their deaths are very impactful and also since Palestinians have a huge history of faking deaths and injuries for reporting purposes. Maybe history is the wrong word because there are cases of this even as recent as last hostage-prisoner exchange.

As someone working on Class III medical devices, it is true that the FDA does not check if your design is "safe", only that the documentation and process seems to have been followed, but on the other hand you are also required to monitor your install base and report any hazardous event, and in case no adequate remediation/plan to your adverse events, they have the real power to stop the commercialization of the product.

But I agree this is coming a bit late in the process if people have already been harmed.
You would want to have some kind fo markup that preserves structural markup as much as possible. I manage ebooks for a university press, and we have a deep backlist waiting for conversion, a lot of which only exists as page scans of old print volumes. I want to be able to offer them as epubs, which means I need to know where there are chapter breaks, heads, tables, charts, math, blockquotes, and so on and so forth. I have vendors that can do this for me, but it costs more than we'd get for some of these books in sales. I'd love to be able to do soem of this myself.

Good software would certainly include that kind of multi-layered defense. Insulin dosage does not vary by a factor of 100. Sadly, medical software is not written any better than any other software.

In this case, the firmware was probably written by engineers who don't think about possible user errors, because they are focused on the hardware. Meanwhile, the app was probably outsourced to the lowest bidder from Elbonia.
When I'm annoyed or stressed
Yep. Beyond the technical issue this story shows a people management issue.
That sounds reasonable. I might explore pdf -> markdown -> epub.

I wonder if this could somehow be used directly by calibre. I think calibre's pdf->epub conversion isn't amazing. In particular, tables often end up broken.

It’s not just a case of liking names, they should also be functional¹ in terms of spreadability. If this OS eventually does what it is meant to do, I will want to tell people about it and get them to try it.

When making a recommendation in a social setting, there’s a tiny window to get the other person interested in whatever you’re suggesting they watch/play/try. If the name is hard to understand, difficult to remember, or they have to take out a phone to write it down, it’s causing friction that makes them less likely to follow through.

Common Crawl's data is a bit inflated due to how it's stored. WARC is the opposite of a compression format ;-)

I think you are correct in that one of the primary problems faced in search is selecting interesting documents. I think I throw out like 75% of what I crawl because it's not very likely to ever be a good search result. You can probably filter it even more aggressively.

It's a smart avenue to approach search not in the sense of "how can I make this computer cluster big enough to fit the data" but "how can I make this data small enough to fit my computer"..

>It is absolutely your responsibility to make sure that it is safe to do so.

In aviation safety, it has long been established that, regardless of how clearly you establish who is responsible for what, if reality is such that people frequently can't actually carry out their responsibilities effectively, then you'll end up with disasters; disasters where you'll have someone to officially blame, but disasters nonetheless.

This is quite relevant to many pedestrian-car interactions. The problem with right turns over crossings where pedestrians have priority, is that in many situations, even if the driver is responsible for ensuring the turn is safe, it isn't possible for them to do so effectively. In many California right-on-red situations, for example, the driver is responsible both for ensuring that the road to their left is clear, and that the crossing to their right (and in front of them) is clear. Traffic, visibility, and speeds often mean that ensuring the road to the left is clear requires the driver to be looking far to their left until almost immediately before turning, and then accelerate quickly. At the same time, ensuring crossings are clear requires them to look both ahead and to their right, and similarly, visibility and layout often mean that the relevant portion of the crossing can go from being clear to blocked almost instantly, so the driver must be looking to their right immediately before turning. The two responsibilities conflict, and in order to turn, the driver must choose which risk to prioritize: if they prioritize checking for pedestrians, they'll increase the risk of a two-vehicle collision, and if they prioritize checking for vehicles, they'll increase the risk of hitting a pedestrian. Not turning is an option, but at least in California there would be considerable pressure culturally and from other drivers to do so, potentially to the level of threats and violence. It is not a good situation to put someone in.

The only time I have ever been hit by a car as a pedestrian was when I was very mildly hit by a driver turning right immediately after I stepped into a crossing. Legally, she was entirely at fault, but as I already felt the crossing was problematic, she was very apologetic, and I was entirely uninjured, we just didn't report it. And in hindsight, the intersection was just horrible. She couldn't see me because I was to her right and would have been obscured by trees and parked cars until immediately before entering the crossing; in order to avoid being hit by traffic, she needed to look to the left. While not legally my responsibility, in order to see her, I would have needed to look behind me before entering the intersection, but I also needed to watch carefully for cross traffic. In utterly bad design, despite heavy traffic and a 35mph speed limit, pedestrians always had legal right of way at the crossing, so she couldn't even have waited to have right of way.
