The point of “verbalizing” the chain of thought isn’t that it’s the most effective method. And frankly I don’t think it matters that humans think non verbally. The goal isn’t to create a human in a box. Verbalizing the chain of thought allows us to audit the thought process, and also create further labels for training.
Oh I wasn't aware of this, thanks for sharing this.
I've only gotten through two short books this year:

Forget the Funnel by Claire Suellentrop and Georgiana Laudi - concise and insightful overview of modern marketing thought, moving beyond MQLs

Pocket Guide to Product Launches by Mary Sheehan - a nice introduction to product launches from a product marketing perspective or a helpful refresher with lots of fresh insights.

I've also been really enjoying the podcast "If Books Could Kill," which questions and fact-checks many poplit "airport books" with a lighthearted vibe.
“Broken” is word used by pedants. A broken tool doesn’t work. This works, most of the time.

Is a drug “broken” because it only cures a disease 80% of the time?

The framing most critics seem to have is “it must be perfect”.

It’s ok though, their negativity just means they’ll miss out on using a transformative technology. No skin off the rest of us.
Yea it seems like western culture is obsessed with advancing hyper individualism. I can't judge, I'm a product of the culture myself, but our mental health seems to keep getting worse the more we keep our lives inside our own bubbles and move away from any aspect of community.
Worth pointing out that "just use Wireguard" is way different than "just use Tailscale". The latter has solutions for common problems, the former is not even remotely comparable feature-wise to OpenVPN. If the only choice is between OpenVPN or Wireguard, often OpenVPN is the only acceptable option, because it has all the features you need.
That's a great summary, and I feel less confused after having read it. Thanks.
This is remarkable. Thank you!
I live in the UK. It rains here. A lot. And I need to take calls.
It's not just a commodity, but a very capital-and-labor-intensive one.

Developing, training, retraining, and delivering a competitive AI service today requires an army of expensive people and a huge investment in infrastructure. It's not cheap!

Moreover, any improvement, whether it's better generation, longer context, a new modality, cheaper prices, or something else, is quickly replicated by all major groups.

They're in a race to see who can spend the most the fastest while charging the least to prevent customers from switching.

Meanwhile, free open-source alternatives keep getting better and more efficient.
I'm surprised you're getting downvoted. The iPhone has been IP67 since iPhone 7 (so 7 years now). I figured more people appreciated this. I assume most Androids are the same. It's nice to be able to go kayaking and not worry about having to have a waterproof case. Mine once spent 10 hours in a back cycling jersey pocket where it rained the entire time and it was perfectly fine.
It's not just cutting. The answers were obtained by taking still photos and inputting them into the model together with detailed text instructions explaining the context and the task to the model, giving some examples first and using careful chain-of-thought style prompting. (see e.g. https://developers.googleblog.com/2023/12/how-its-made-gemin...) My guess is that the video was fully produced after the Gemini outputs were generated by a different team, instead of while or before.
I've already seen that one. One of the best Rifftrax along with The Room and Twilight, fellow Person of Culture. Me and a bunch of friends used to be zealous bad movie watchers, though we don't do it as often now that we're all scattered.
It really depends skill to skill, but generally yes. However, and keeping in mind this again varies a lot skill to skill, the increases are not even the same order of magnitude as the scaling for the xp required.

That's cool. Looks like Inkscape supports adding this kind of noise through its various effects in its Filters menu. Exported as a Plain SVG and looking at the code confirms the use of feTurbulence.

For comparison, I also did a test to see how Affinity Designer 2 does it, since it has noisy fills. The SVG it exports has the noise embedded in it as a base64 jpeg image!

Anecdata, but I suspect my current issues with charging my iphone are due to wear on the charging port from using the lightning -> headphone adapter. When looking for a new phone I noticed that many sony phones still provide headphone jacks on their higher end models (xperia 5v, 10v) but generally it seems relegated to cheaper android phones.

I hate the waste generated from having battery powered headphones, and generally dislike the batterification of so many products these days. Wires can be messy but they are usually replaceable and I don't have to worry about properly disposing of them as much as I would for an item with a LiON battery.

IIRC the xperia phones are just as water/dustproof as the pixels/iphones so not really sure why we had to give up the port other than for maybe a mm of thinness and a reason to sell a new series of audio devices to consumers.

[see me answering my own question, at bottom of comment]

Is there scientific data supporting the verbal "it's really good" and "we did lots of research" claims?

Such as mdfourier testing and comparison with the original chips, or equivalent scientific scrutiny and comparison of the respective outputs?

The claims may well be true, but the greater the claim to merit, the more robust the supporting evidence should be.

[Answer follows: ]

Yes there does appear to be some, at approx 10m45sec of this Youtube video which is contained within the OP link.

Not sure why you got downvoted as well, that was very educating.

I never studied music theory, but I play guitar for >20 years, so I just picked some library I found that listed a few common chords, and put it there.

I never (knowingly) played a D6, so didn’t know to look for that one in particular :)

I’ll add the option extend the list, and see if I can find a better list of defaults.

The thing about those ligatures is that each one adds a bit to the font’s weight, they’re not referencing one another - it’s a lot of duplicated “paths” (and IIRC I can define up to 65,536 in total).
I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like, but on my phone that looks like a smooth gradient with no noise.
Nobody needs a smartphone; a dumbphone would suffice for most people. We buy smartphones because we want them. For my personal use case I have an expensive pair of headphones which I used to use (lasted over a decade so far) with my Nexus 6P and while using an amp/DAC is better; it's just more convenient to plug and play.
Neural networks are only similar to brains on the surface. Their learning process is entirely different and their internal architecture is different as well.

We don’t use neural networks because they’re similar to brains. We use them because they are arbitrary function approximators and we have an efficient algorithm (backprop) coupled with hardware (GPUs) to optimize them quickly.
Not sure which players could cause huge shifts in both lithium and nickel commodity prices, for the goal of undercutting oil. Especially since standard learning curves deliver huge drops in battery prices year after year anyway. Seems like a futile effort.
They didn't add to the conversation. They inserted an off-topic digression about the submitter of the story, who has nothing to do with the story or with Dan Luu. Before other people downvoted and flagged it, it was sprawling out from the top comment on the thread. That's why we have these guidelines: to keep stuff like this from crudding up threads.

I'm also not sure what you mean by flagging; the story isn't flagged, and is on the front page right now.

It mentions a 7 year period. The company is essentially going all in on bitcoin and the period will allow them to ride the short term volatility and the 20% _BTC_ denominated interest is an enormous incentive to them.

I assume they see bitcoin similarly to me - that it will reach _at least_ $0.5M/BTC by the end of the decade. IYKYK, and it looks like they know.
But you yourself said that it was so convincing that the people doing the demo didn't recognize it as false, so how would they know to call it out as such?

I suppose they could've deliberately found a hallucination and showcased it in the demo. In which case, pretty much every company's promo material is guilty of not showcasing negative aspects of their product. It's nothing new or unique to this case.
>For the purposes of a business negotiation, a strike means to refuse to sell your labor for under a certain price. Picking and choosing who you refuse to sell your labor to quickly encroaches on tribalism that has historically played out with negative consequences.

When hollywood actors did a strike in support of the writers, it is to enable business negotiations for the writers, not necessarily for the actors. Worker solidarity means that if I support your cause today and I face similar situation tomorrow, you will support me. It sounds to me like collective action to force a business to negotiate.

I do not understand the tribalism argument very well. All of us form tribes and our social structure depends on it. Tribes are formed based on membership (either by birth, where you live, your political beliefs, your economic status etc) and you can argue whether that membership is a good thing for society, but I do not believe the argument is whether tribes are good or bad. They just are.
It didn't take very long for AI to turn the tables and start prompting us to generate content.
I would have agreed with your comment 100% after my first visit to such a restaurant, but after my most recent visit I cannot do so. The amount of patience required depends entirely on the quality of service, and this is not necessarily consistent at all such restaurants at all times.
Agreed with your comment. This is every marketing department on the planet right now, and it's not a bad thing IMO. Can feel a bit forced at times, but it's better than the alternative.

Using to term "sell" to describe these data transfers to other parties is ineffective. Prohibiting the "sale" of data will not stop social media companies from transferring data to others.
Yes exactly that. My iPhone 13 Pro has been up mountains, across glaciers and through deserts (no shit it actually has) and it looks and works like the day I bought it.

But the time it really got hammered was when it was pissing it down in the middle of nowhere in the UK when I was waiting for a train that would never come and I had to try and organise a taxi in an unfamiliar place. That would have killed the Fairphone 5 dead. It was soaked. Everything was soaked.

Edit: I also have a Pixel 7a which is the same.
You can set it up on most of your devices, including mobile, with a couple clicks/taps, and not having to read any manpages. You can achieve having e.g. an Apple TV as a VPN network gateway with similar ease.

A technical person who’s familiar with what a VPN is and does but has never configured one can have it working on a bunch of their devices in like 30 minutes flat, with no notable ongoing maintenance to worry about.

If you’re already configuring your home networking with Ansible or Helm or something, it’s probably not a win.
I'm factoring in their legacy and history

I'm not sure if the Lisp Curse can in fact be easily applied to Clojure. Clojure projects, for some reason (in my opinion), don't suffer as much as projects in other Lisps - such as Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp. Maybe it's because of the hosted nature of the language, there's usually a good set of libraries to choose from for Java and Javascript, and my guess is that this would hold true for ClojureDart and ClojureCLR as well.

You can typically find some Clojure/Clojurescript wrappers if you want to interact with a JVM or Javascript library. But if a wrapper doesn't do what you need, you can always use interop directly.

Also, Clojurists tend to adhere to some good stylistic defaults. They try not to overcomplicate things without good reasons. Furthermore, the nature of the language forces you to keep things small and simple.
If the buffet restaurant hadn't bought it for someone to leave it on their plate, then the ingredient cost would have been lower and a poorer person would have been more likely to be able to afford it. Or someone in the supply chain could have donated it as part of their CSR program.

Out of curiosity I've asked GPT-4V the same questions:

Prompt: [attached image of the post-it notes with sun and planets] Is this right order?
GPT-4: The image you've uploaded shows three drawings on individual pieces of paper. From left to right, there's a drawing of the sun, then what appears to be Saturn, and lastly a drawing that resembles Earth. If the intention is to display these celestial objects by their proximity to the Sun, then the order should be the Sun, Earth, and then Saturn, as Earth is closer to the Sun than Saturn. Therefore, the current order is not correct. To correct the order, you should place the Earth drawing second, between the Sun and Saturn.

Prompt: [attached the image of the two car drawings] Based on their design, which one would go faster?
GPT-4: The image shows two drawings of vehicles on slopes. The one on the left appears to have a more traditional box-like design, while the one on the right has a streamlined design with a pointed front. Based on principles of physics and aerodynamics, the vehicle with the streamlined design (on the right) would likely go faster down the slope. Streamlining reduces air resistance (drag), allowing the vehicle to move more efficiently. The pointed front helps to cut through the air and minimize the drag force, which would result in higher speeds compared to the boxier design on the left, which would encounter more air resistance.

I'm actually pretty impressed how well it did with such basic prompts.
this is a good answer, and I think I can add to it: ${HOSTILE_NATION} wants to piss off a lot of people in enemy territory. They create a social media "challenge" to ask chatGPT certain things that maximize damage/outrage. One of the ways to maximize those parameters is to involve children. If they thought it would be damaging enough, they may even be able to involve a publicly traded company and short-sell before deploying the campaign.
Even if they aren't perfect, they are also not trying to defraud anybody. Your odds are much better with them than with other random sources.

I really do not think that applies to all-you-can-eat buffet rules about leaving plates full of uneaten food.
It's true though that there's a market for horror movies that are not good. In fact AIUI it's about the only genre where there's any market at all at the low budget end.

I disagree with this on both fronts.

First, budget has nothing to do with it. See the success of Clerks or Super Troopers. Sundance is around the corner. There's going to be a lot of hype around a couple of drama and comedy films shot on a small budget. There is every year...

I also disagree that people enjoy horror movies that are "not good". "Not good" is incredibly subjective, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I think you're referring to people like me, who watch movies like Jack Frost (not the one with Michael Keaton), but that is because I am legitimately entertained by them, not because they are "not good" by some measure.
They're listed as supported on their website and they work. I'm not sure what there is besides that.

> Every history about video games mention how low-quality games killed Atari, but is that true or just something that walled-garden console makers made up?

I had both and it's true that games on the 2600 were of low-quality. I mean: it was a very limited machine. The very best games were probably River Raid and Pitfall and maybe Combat. Stuff like that. There really weren't a lot of playable games on the 2600.

https://youtu.be/gombHp5wMrk

The Commodore 64 came five years later. Five years back then was like decades today. On the C64 you could draw (it was limited but doable), create music, program... And games were on another level.

The C64 had bad games for sure but also many incredible gems.

And there were some games on the C64 you could play for months or even years, like the Ultima series.

The 2600 came out in 1977. I think it did well for its time but when progress moved that fast, there wasn't much they could do to save a platform that was that limited.

How it's Made: Interacting with Gemini through multimodal prompting
Oh yeah, now that you reminded me, there are a few episodes that has sort of viewer discretion warning at the beginning.

I'll tell $wifie that I'll have to re-watch the whole X-Files this month to figure out which episodes my son should avoid when he is 12 (that is around 9 years from now). This definitely counts as parenting work.
My vision of the future is that there won't be smartphones just wireless touch screens that link to a small computer that stays in your pocket, charging area or linked to a bigger computer but never interfaced with directly, just a small smartphone like box and you can access apps and data at your home compute box (think mac studio) tailscale style.

I'd like to day dream that a modern day steve jobs somewhere is already working on this.

New tech like smartphone gets plateued by money makers. Why innovate when you can play dirty with planned obsolecense, selling data, recycling/polishing turd and playing marketing games and make profit on the cheap. R&D ain't free.

I dislike smarphones as they are but the idea of computing using a handheld screen as thin as window glass and being able to transfer my view to bigger screens/peripherals flawlessly is appealing. The OS could be Linux, windows, macos, android, ios doesn't matter because it isn't this mobile optimized walled garden bs but a full fledged controllable computer running the same apps but it scales/adjust the UI based on display size. You'd be using a handheld display as you are walking to work/office, tap and move it to a 15" display withy keyboard/cam and go to a meeting or start a movie on a projector by tapping the right spot again.
You only know one piece of information about your family? I feel like I could reference many childhood facts or random things that happened years ago in social situations.
