> LLMs don’t notice things - in the human manner you assumed they do. It isn't point out gaps, its repeating text patterns. Our habit of dealing with humans is filling in these gaps and supporting an assumption of ‘noticing’ or ‘improvement’.

True. It is important to avoid anthropomorphizing LLMs, etc. I do this intentionally now and then but I agree it is dangerous to do it accidentally.

> I think it is hard for us to consider changes in text, without seeing the changes in meaning as well.

True, but since LLMs were trained on text sequences that had meaning, much of the meaning was accidentally embodied in the resulting model. Areas where LLMs seem to reason well happen to be the areas where the training data was sufficiently generalized and the language tokens used similarly enough... such as recipes.

> With LLMs you have to accept that it’s not seeing meaning, it’s just seeing correlation.

True. I think it is interesting how much it often feels like knowledge.

I think we also have to be careful not to overly glorify human "knowledge" as something other than producing a pattern of output signals in response to a pattern of input signals.
You could always try and run and fix that yourself. Or propose solutions to those in charge. Or rally support for a movement to garner the attention of officials. No system is perfect. Perhaps starting a tech movement with code.

No, it's not just a political problem intelligence gathering can happen at scale, including of civilians, by adversarial countries or international corporations.

"Going the nuclear route and making the collection of data on individuals, aggregated or otherwise, illegal would hardly be some major leap of reach of jurisprudence."

It would in fact be a huge leap. Sure, you could make illegal pretty easily, but current paradigms allow individuals to enter into contracts. Nothing stopping a society from signing (or clicking) away their rights like they already do. That would require some rather hefty intervention by congress, not just jurisprudence.
Peer-reviewed research papers have always been allowed in citations. The nuance that evolved over time is this "For example, a paper reviewing existing research, a review article, monograph, or textbook is often better than a primary research paper." Meaning, you can cite a research paper, but something more secondary that summarizes a body of scholarship would be better.

Individual research papers that haven't been reproduced often present conflicting results with one another, especially in fields with poor quality research like nutrition. Experts often run into this issue when they try to cite their own research or a narrow set of papers in a given field, especially when recent research conflicts with prior scientific consensus. It's why tptacek's comment above is apropos.

> If I'm reading the author's writeup correctly, the prompt he's giving the agent at each pick contains only the names of the cards in its pool so far, and only gives the full text for the cards in the pack it's being passed. It doesn't look like context is being maintained between picks, presumably for context window size reasons.

Not quite -- there's a few ways the model learns the full card text:

* The models are trained on card trivia completions as well, where they're asked to complete the full text of the card as well as information about it (type, CMC, etc.)

* The models do still have to learn next token completion on the cards in packs, meaning they learn to predict the full text of the cards while making draft picks as well.

Net net, the bots learn the text of the new cards pretty comprehensively.

Obviously, in a quick rejoinder I have not given a complete overview of my opinions on the matter. We obviously need delivery vehicles, electrified where we can. I'm hoping we can find something better than a two-ton box for moving a single person around to arbitrary locations. Small single-person electric vehicles, like an enclosed quad-bike, for example, seem more proportionate.

None of this can be done immediately, but it can be phased-in over a sensible amount of time. Shame we didn't start 30 years ago.

Sure, but I’m not particularly defending emacs lisp (would prefer Common Lisp). It’s not exactly true that any language can have it, though: the language has to be designed to handle redefinition correctly.

"The industry" sold software in the 1980s that had use instructions like "Insert disk 1 and press the 'Reset' key to load".

In the very early 1990s, something like "Insert disk 1 and click the disk icon, then click <name of application>". Installation to the hard disk was optional, and might be one or two steps.

Later in the 1990s, installation was pressing "Next", "Next", "Next" after inserting the CD.

we have hundreds of clients most on k8s or openshift. Many of them are shifting to smaller team or division oriented clusters so that they can move at their own pace in consuming capabilities, tools, security practises, etc. It also simplifies distribution of operational expenses, yea there’s tools out there to help with that but it’s a whole lot easier to hand someone a sub-account in AWS and call it a day. Additionally it reduces your fault boundary. It isn’t as sexy as saying you have a 5000 node cluster with 100k+ pods running but it can make life a whole lot less stressful when it comes to upgrades and changes.

I'm sorry but you can have process nodes smaller than an atom. The size of atoms is irrelevant here. The process node refers to what dimensions a theoretical planar transistor would have to be equivalent to the current 3D transistors. If you stack multiple transistors on top of one another, the process node gets smaller regardless of what you think.

I like that this shows how hard even conceptually simple ideas are to achieve in fine-tuning LLMs. Even given a pretty good starting dataset, a decent starting model, etc. this appears to have been a challenge.

One thing it did make me think about was that these models are suitable for things that don't have a natural definitive answer. That is, picking the perfect card given a set of picks is probably combinatorially impossible to solve. But picking a good card given a set is possible and LLMs can approach human level performance.

I think this leads to a set of problems that current LLMs may be fine-tuned to solve.

But you're saying that the government should create websites according to those standards, and if it breaks in Chrome or Safari, the government shouldn't test and fix it. Rather, the browsers should fix it.

That's a position I just can't get behind. These are all just tools. The point isn't to follow some ideology, the point is to function.

And no, the government shouldn't formally "adopt" any specific W3C standard either, because standards evolve, and we don't want the government to get stuck in time. It should just write and maintain websites that work.

This isn't complicated. Businesses all seem to manage it just fine. The government doesn't need to do it any differently.
That would be cool as well as the results would have some inherent noise.

As much as I like to rake the executives over the coal for this, I'm disturbed by the trend of calling anything vaguely against the national interest as "treason". Nowadays if I hear someone is accused of treason absent any context, it could mean anywhere between "knowingly selling nukes to iran" to "lobbied for/against a policy that the accuser thinks is bad". In this case they're arguably scamming the government out of money, but that can hardly be compared to the crime knowingly aiding a known adversary.
Apple can easily argue that this implementation violates their security controls and doesn't count as a PoC. As soon as the last iphone without a secure enclave loses support, they can flip the switch and kill Beeper('s iMessage service) instantly

Is it really a standard if no one implements it in a way that everyone agrees on?

Is it really a standard if the dominant vendor just ignores the standard and does what it wants because then it becomes the "actual standard" ?

As a (terrible) example, look at FIPS. The government has the power to mandate a standard that everyone needs to implement. If instead of "supporting specific browser vendors" they "support a specific standard" then all vendors have a target that works with an agreed upon common ground.

There are lots of choices depending on your community and desired feature set: whatsapp, fb messenger, instagram messenger, telegram, signal, discord, or the direct messaging features of other programs like Slack.

imessage is an outlier in that it also has a bidirectional link with SMS. I just read today that FB messenger used to have this (who knew?) but no longer does. My reading of the EU's complaint is that if imessage didn't have this feature they would not be in trouble since they'd be no different from the other services in being a silo. Weird!

Has anyone heard of any attempts to bring back CRT’s? I imagine the manufacturing chain for that would be bigger than any reasonable kickstarter/the demand from retro enthusiasts and the like. I know I’ve been hunting for old TVs for circuit bending/glitch art and it’s tough, thrift stores nearby stopped taking old TVs and everything on Facebook Marketplace only has coax (less ideal than composite.)

The whole GC thing is a non-issue to a pragmatic programmer. D's GC is not going to pop out and smite your program. It's just one of many methods of dealing with memory that D provides.

The "serious reservations" is simply unfamiliarity.

The GC has uses where it shines. Allocating data structures that last the lifetime of the program instance. Enabling data allocation during Compile Time Function Execution. Scripting programs.

Borrow checking has its costs, too. Some data structures won't work with it. Sometimes to conform to it means allocating an extra copy. Some code has to be marked as unsafe.

D has a borrow checker, too. It's opt-in, though.
