There is a difference between interpolation, which the majority of humans are performing daily with coding in private codebases, and genuine extrapolation, which is difficult to prove and difficult to find in high dimensional spaces. LLMs may not be able to easily extrapolate (and when it does it's due to high temperature), but they can interpolate extremely well, and most human growth and innovation today comes from novel interpolations, which are what LLMs are excellent at.
It doesn't though, which is why malloc is rarely used in embedded and realtime systems.

Inevitable outcome. Since ChatGPT launched, nobody has a clue as to what is legal and what is illegal with these chat-based LLMs.

Is the content that LLMs produce enough to rise to the level of copyright infringement? Is the fact that a company trained their LLM on your data, with the knowledge it would be used for outputs (=profit), enough that all of their outputs should be considered, to at least a minuscule degree, influenced by your work? How would ChatGPT's "training" differ from, say, another journalist who reads the NYT, and subconsciously uses that to help provide better services?

None of us can answer these questions definitively. The courts hearing these sorts of arguments were a foregone conclusion. I think a lot of the large LLMs (certainly OpenAI competitors) are going to breathe a sigh of relief that this is happening sooner rather than later, so they know where the legal lines are to be drawn.
Curious about examples the other way from seven years ago and about similar examples fourteen years ago. Sounds like an interesting hypothesis.

So you want to bring up your "three data points" claim again? OK. Those three data points are the three incidents listed in the top post of this thread [1]. About them, you wrote "regardless if you think the decision should be based on statistics alone, my further point is that an n=3 sample size is not adequate to make strong claims." [2] I don't just "bypass" this argument, I dismiss it as an absurd characterization of all the testing Waymo has been performing. As I pointed out at the time, if none of these incidents had occurred during these tests, then, by your logic, we would have no information at all about the safety of the cars! This position, applied consistently, amounts to a complete rejection of statistical methods, and I "bypass" that.

At least the idea that Waymo is hiding data that would reveal the vehicles as being too dangerous to be on public roads is not quite that wrongheaded, but it implies that Waymo is doing this on a massive scale that cannot possibly succeed in the long run. It is not clear, for example, how it could hide information about similar or worse incidents from the insurance companies, and a story about your gambling relative is not changing my mind.

It runs in a separate process, and is therefore isolated from the HTTP server. Making it run as the owner of the file is also quite common and trivially achieved (suExec).

In many cases remote desktop is a great solution. However, a hardware based KVM can be preferable for several reasons.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with your explanation. It seems to categorize languages on the basis of what tools are available or widely used. That's not a property of languages.

A language can be designed once and then interpreters and compilers (and transpilers) can be made available for it.

Python is a classic example: it's most commonly interpreted, but can be compiled when performance matters.

C is usually compiled, but tcc offers the option to directly run it from source (-run).

History has given us both compilers and interpreters for various dialects of BASIC since the 80s.

Honestly I can't imagine why a language designer should decide upfront if the result of their study will be interpreted or compiled. And I have no idea what choices should they make to characterize it as a "scripting" language.
Not being in or from the region, my impression from brief interactions with the lobbyists they send up to Washington has been that many of the ranchers are, themselves, trying to cosplay a Wild West fantasy. But this is probably largely overrepresenting the "gentleman ranchers" (who are actually just heirs to oil money or something) who own a ranch as a lifestyle aesthetic rather than a livelihood.

However, it does seem that these guys have a dramatically outsized influence in political representation around these interests unfortunately.
Learning to Teach Large Language Models Logical Reasoning
If the President of Harvard was a white male and on "the wrong side" of a topic like DEI, Trump, gender, etc most media outlets and other academics would likely be hammering on their academic qualifications if there was any doubt. I think this is what many people are annoyed by.
Daily? No, that is too granular for me. Monthly is more reasonable - many expenses are on that cadence, and once you have it laid out at that scale, you know how much extra spending you have for the month and can choose what days to spend it.

FWIW, I'd never tie my bank account to a service for this. Spreadsheets work fine, and most banks let you download transactions so you can import them into your spreadsheet. If you really want a daily spending limit enforced by your bank, they might be able to set that up for you - we have it as part of our fraud protection and call the bank if we need to make a large purchase to get it temporarily lifted.

Millions of children experience food insecurity in the US every year. If what we know about food and brain development, alarm bells should be ringing. Instead I have a not so fond memory of people fighting to end the practice of providing breakfast and lunches at schools.

I recently started college at 38 as an adult who grew up in a poverty stricken area. Food insecurity was a problem in my childhood. Thing like sitting food like milk in between the screen door to avoid running the fridge during the winter. Or hitting up food Pantry's at the local churches.

Interestingly my "case study" I had to write for academic writing was on the link between finance and health. After all my reading and research about nutrition, toxic stress, and environmental conditions I'm surprised that I made it. All that to say, food insecurity doesn't come up often in the conversation. How does a poor kid with shitty parents who don't feed him develop a working brain? And is it their fault if their mental shortcomings effect their mental stability and behavior as a adolescent?

Millions? Damn, they can churn out some content. 13 million[0]!.

What are they arguing here? AFAIK reading copyrighted works is not copyright infringement. Copying and selling them is, as the name would suggest, but OpenAI absolutely did not do that. Are they trying to say that LLM training is a special type of reading that should be considered infringement? Seems like a weak case to me.

edit: Would be very funny if OpenAI used an educational fair use defense
You can lay a foundation for a building in a couple of days and then spend however long you want building the whole rest of your house on top of that. If later you find out that the foundation has cracks or is otherwise compromised and you want to replace it without replacing the whole building, it's going to take a lot more than a few days to fix it.

This course came out somewhat recently and I think it's designed for people who came to Frontend development mostly from JS/Using React: https://css-for-js.dev

She can just be a bad person, but my sense from scanning the comments is that a bad person artificially propped up by a social framework is worse because in theory it made it easier for the bad person to achieve a position of power where otherwise it’s less likely they would have achieved such a position. At least that’s my take on what people are arguing without diving in too deeply.

I'd bet they win, but how do you possibly measure the dollar amount? If you strip out 100% of NYT content from GPT-4, I don't think you'd notice a difference. But if you go domain by domain and continue stripping training data, the model will eventually get worse.
ADHD is a lot more than focus/inattention. It's emotional regulation, impulse control, executive functioning, time sense, and much more. My advice since you asked is to go see a neuropsychiatrist, discuss your experiences and symptoms, and go from there. Medication may help you, or it may not. We can't know from your brief description, but if your presentation of the condition has any of the factors I listed above, it is probable that some form of treatment would have a positive impact on your lived experience. Good luck.

A friend of mine did her PhD in a prestigious lab in basic medical sciences. A postdoc in the lab was quite clearly fabricating data, but the PI refused to believe it. The postdoc got a tenure track position at a top ten department, from where he was quietly let go a couple years later when they figured out what was going on. The real tragedy is that, as the PI of my friend's lab was about to retire, the postdoc took decades of work--cell lines, antibodies, etc.--with him to start his new lab, and appears to have just thrown it all away when he lost his job.

My own experience in academia was not nearly so bad, but I was pressured by my advisor to exclude some less-flattering results from a paper we wrote. I wanted to leave them in because I thought they illustrated some interesting trade-offs between our work and other approaches, but I wasn't brave enough to stand up to someone with the power to seriously fuck my life up.

It's clear from this (and other recent stories on HN) that the people running scientology are downright evil. In the biography of Jack Parsons (JPL founder) a young L. Ron Hubbard shows up and with a combination of Thelema and sex-magic gains his trust, screws him over, takes his money and his wife. Scientology was founded by a conman and sociopath, it's no wonder their history is so messed up.

I don't understand how this "church" continues to operate with any legitimacy or influence and almost no accountability. Are they that well connected? Is the world truly that corrupt?

XPath still rules at web scraping though often CSS selectors are better. With CSS selectors it's much harder for the user to shoot themselves in the foot with their selector design and most web devs already know them. So, really it's best to mix both: CSS for most and fallback to XPath for more complex operations.

For example, the xpath selector used in the article `//li[@class="blog__post-preview"]` would break if one more class is added which happens very often in the real world while CSS selector`li.blog__post-preview` wouldn't. (The correct xpath here would be `//li[contains(@class,"blog__post-preview")]` or even more accurately `//li[contains(concat(" ", normalize-space(@class), " "), " blog__post-preview ")]` - yeah it's realy ugly).

Either way both CSS and XPath selectors are actually really easy to learn and would be great if more tools adopted these methods like FreshRSS did! I made some interactive cheatsheets with all of the edge cases if anyone is interested in all of the web scraping parsing weirdness :) https://scrapfly.io/blog/css-selector-cheatsheet/ and https://scrapfly.io/blog/xpath-cheatsheet/
If you read the complaint, you will see that, among others, paragraphs and paragraphs of NYT articles are reproduced verbatim or almost verbatim.
I think at this point I'll just leave modernizing the CSS to experts and use frameworks like Tailwind or Tachyons or whatever. It's just not interesting to me.

Not entirely the same, but at each step of the semiconductor manufacturing process, the process step is run on a pool of available tools from the fleet. (Think photolithography machines to make the pattern, etch or deposition tools, and SEMs &c for inline measurement.) These things being hardware for controlling physical and chemical processes, they're of course fickle, so even though two tools should be expected to produce the same results for the same step running the same configuration ("recipe") they unsurprisingly don't always do that. So in a given fleet maybe only 3/4 of them will be cleared to run a given recipe, and all the tools in this pool are supposed to be running the same version of the recipe. Discovering that several tools have not been running the same recipe and are producing noticeably diverging results going back weeks or months is an every-other-week sort of discovery and raising the alarm was always met with the same response—cover it up; don't make waves.

I don't know how it works in Svelte, but react+MUIv4 (makeStyles) is effectively component scoped as well, in that your selectors will have a random prefix generated unique to each component.

I actually find this really obnoxious. Its super common to want a child component to change styles based on the parent component its wrapped by, sometimes far up the tree. The only way to do this is prop drilling to pass a class, or start putting vanilla selectors everywhere the parent can target. I don't really see the usefulness. CSS isn't naturally isolated like that.

To follow up, one of the convenient things about ADHD medication (stimulants) is that taking them is akin to flipping a light switch. On or off, there isn't an interim period where you're waiting for the medication to build up in your system in order to see an effect, nor do you need to taper off of it like you do some other types of medications. So if you try something and find you don't like the effects or it doesn't do what you want it to do for you, you can simply stop right there and go back to the way you were doing things before.
