Abstract:

> To understand neurological complications of COVID-19 better both acutely and for recovery, we measured markers of brain injury, inflammatory mediators, and autoantibodies in 203 hospitalised participants; 111 with acute sera (1–11 days post-admission) and 92 convalescent sera (56 with COVID-19-associated neurological diagnoses). Here we show that compared to 60 uninfected controls, [...lots of technical stuff here...] Overall, neurological complications of COVID-19 are associated with evidence of neuroglial injury in both acute and late disease and these correlate with dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses acutely.

So - plenty of "maybe have the lab test his levels of V, W, X, Y, and Z" ideas, for a doctor who is trying to figure out whether or not $Patient is suffering from post-COVID brain injuries. But ~zilch in the way of treatments for $Patient's problems.

As the post says, docs are part of any software product. This cannot be emphasized enough. A technical product without documentation or effective UX writing is going to generate so much dissatisfaction and support burden you'll consider shutting it down. And yes, as twodave wrote, writing docs is when you discover users' pains.

How you serve docs depends on the product itself: it'd be in-product views, a site, even CLI output. It doesn't matter as long as you've a content strategy for self-service support and people who can dedicate their time to producing the docs.

Don't give up on docs: hire someone to write them and take care of their strategy.

I'm surprised no one has chimed in on how the program is "processing" 40GB of instructions with only 800 MB/s * 10s of disk read.

This is unfortunately seeming like a possibility. Everyone has forgotten how long WW2 took to brew before it broke out. WW2 is listed as having started in the year 1939, but events that led up to it started as early as 1931 depending on who you talk to. It's commonly agreed that events were already happening in 1935-1937 that triggered the war in 1939.

That's because array, or even if/else statements are already higher-level abstraction. To be Turing complete you simply need: a memory that can be read from or written to, and the ability to "jump" or "move" to some memory location.

Or buy them. OpenAI market cap is many times NYT.

If we see court judgements start to go copyright owners way, we will also see a scramble from AI companies to buy the few publishers with enough data to be worth buying, and to create works for hire to replace the rest.

In the long run a copyright ruling like that will be a boon for OpenAI and all other players with deep enough pockets to do so, and massively harm everyone else who will suddenly find it far harder to build models legally.

Except when it affects their bottom line of course, they publicly lied on how meta tags work during the lawsuits against Google to get more money (like most newspapers did). And I have no doubt that they will extensively lie once again on how LLM really work.

"Teaching" by copying source books word for word, would be copyright infringement; see, for example, the well-known issues around photocopying books or even excerpts.

Also lying on source materials (e.g. telling students that some respected historian denies the Holocaust happened, when it's obviously not the case) is not "teaching" - it's defamation, and the NYT is absolutely right to pursue that angle too.

Using LLMs as general-purpose search engines is a minefield, I would not be surprised if the practice disappeared in the next 20 years. Obviously the tech is here to stay, there is no problem when it's applied to augmenting niche work; but as a Google replacement, it has so many issues

Some of the best developers I know are self taught. Professional licensure makes it illegal for them to practice, or at least relegates them to low end work. It further cements the requirement that someone go deeply into debt to purchase the right to work from a university.

On the other hand, NYT website willingly gave out all the information without imposing limitations. Seeing terms of service requires visiting a separate page, they aren't seen immediately upon visiting the website. Understanding and accepting the terms also requires a human interaction.

Actually the followup to the initial paper it turns out it's shifting focus from near to far and back. I spent hours outside, maybe school caught up with me I was myopic by 2nd grade.

Eye Doctor assumes his eye is mostly if not full grown and he escaped the last couple of generations on both sides of the family. His success is more the focus changes than lots of daylight. Daylight surely helps with mood so I did teach him to get 20 even 30 minutes of daylight into his retina but not hours.
> Just learn to recognize and punish plagiarism via RLHF.

This is not a RLHF problem. What I was expecting them to do is to keep a bloom filter of ngrams for known copyrighted content, such as enumerating all sets of n=7 consecutive words in an article, and validate against it. The model would only output at maximum n-1 words that look verbatim from the source.

But this will blow up in their face. Let's see:

- AI companies will start investing much more in content attribution

- The new content attribution tools will be applied on all human written articles as well, because anyone could be using GPT in secret

- Then people will start seeing a chilling effect on creativity

- We must also check NYT against all the other sources, not everything the write is original
The article fails the logical test. It asserts clear does nothing to speed up the normal line. That’s clearly untrue. The people going through clear are not in the normal line, and when they join the normal line they get a cursory glance at the boarding pass which takes considerably less of the agents time. Their identify is verified by a separate line, thus removing them from the queue. Everyone benefits from clear existing. The fact it’s a service with a fee attached doesn’t obviate its benefit in reducing line lengths.

Why? No production car is brake limited; slam on the brakes in any car and you'll go into (and stay in) ABS, meaning you're at the limit of tire grip, and therefore at roughly constant deceleration. Where would energy dissipation come into the picture? The energy is being dissipated by the brakes, not the tires, and they're not the limiting factor.

Anecdotally, I've lost count of modern kitchen appliances such as blenders, coffee makers, cooking "processors", that have died on me. And not cheap either, basically mid-tier stuff. Any such device with extra digital "smarts" and a monitor in particular is a huge red flag.

Whereas I still have some inherited such electric appliances from the 70s and 80s that still go strong (and whenever they did, they're totally fixable).
Making these things anathema to commercial interests and making training them at scale legally perilous would be a huge win.

So a rerun of the program should only need to load ~8GB if the filesystem caching is somewhat loop/scan resistant.

> ~zilch in the way of treatments for $Patient's problems.

Exactly as you'd reasonably expect at this time given what is being reported here.

The only thing that is strongly probable here is the apparent lack of direct COVID effect on the brain (paragraph two of Introduction).

This is a paper that follows up on earlier statistical observations that more than an expected number of serious enough to be hospitalised (and a few others) COVID patients have neurological complications.

Paper One [1]: "Whatya reckon ablout these numbers?"

Paper Two: "Hmm, looks like this might be a thing."

as yet, there is no proposed mechanism for COVID indirectly causing neurological complications which obviously limits any treatments for the unknown chain(s) of causation.

IMO tmux + a scriptable terminal editor (Vim, Neovim, Emacs, etc) turns Unix into a very nice IDE — but it's pretty dependent on becoming deeply familiar with those two tools: a multiplexer and an editor.

I wouldn't say Unix is an IDE, really; but you can build a very nice IDE for yourself using Unix tools, as long as you have a sufficiently configurable terminal multiplexer and a sufficiently configurable terminal editor.

One pretty major difference between "Unix is an IDE" vs "you can build an IDE around Unix" is that, well, the terminal editor is actually pretty close to an IDE — you can have language server based autocomplete, refactoring, linting; UI for git; etc. So, it's not really that Unix is your IDE; your editor is. But the nice thing about running it in a multiplexer in a terminal, though, is you have instant and easy access to just about any other command-line tool just a keyboard shortcut away, and it can be organized visually wherever you like — a pane on the side, beneath, zoomed in temporarily to encompass the screen, hidden in a tab, etc.

(Sufficiently advanced terminal emulators could also fill in for tmux here.)

I think you get many of the same benefits using a tiling window manager... But well, the best ones require running Linux (or one of the OSS BSDs); the options for your company-provided Macbook are fewer and less good. Tmux + terminal editor is pretty nice as something that works in any Unix environment.
I feel like the whole article is an allegory of LLM development (as a critic would write it: devoting a stupendous amount of resources and 'training data' to 'memorize' the solution). I wonder if this was the author's intent?
