Interesting, wasn’t previously aware of Vendetta. I feel like all conversations about eradicating roaches need to distinguish between 1) getting rid of german cockroaches and 2) getting rid of any other cockroach. I’ve had less success with the former, especially within a row home in Baltimore built in the 1910s. You need to get in the walls and under floorboards to eradicate the issue with the germans.
How about a 16K Hello World?

julia> using StaticTools, StaticCompiler

julia> hello_world() = printf(c"Hello World\n")
hello_world (generic function with 1 method)

julia> compile_executable(hello_world, (), "./")
"~/hello_world"

shell> ./hello_world
Hello World

shell> du -h hello_world
16K hello_world

See https://github.com/brenhinkeller/StaticTools.jl for further details and limitations.

For discovering methods you can do

julia> ?("hello", 1, 2.0)[TAB]
broadcast(f, x::Number...) @ Base.Broadcast broadcast.jl:844
readuntil(filename::AbstractString, args...; kw...) @ Base io.jl:520

I'm sure there wasn't anything going on in October 2020 that would have influenced this stat.
Nothing to add about the article, but I think the Chrysler Building is the most beautiful skyscraper I’ve ever seen.

Somehow it only ranks 9th in the list of America’s Favorite Architecture[1]. Which I suppose has more to do with name recognition than anything else.

The disaster is not specified
This is a really cool project, thank you for sharing!
I'm in my mid 30s and have always had a decent job with relatively decent income, but the cost of living has always made it impossible to save enough fast enough to get a down payment on a home. Now I finally have one, but with interest rates it seems like a poor financial decision to buy a home when I can rent the same quality of home for half the price. I feel for kids starting out today, I can't see how they will ever thrive in this world unless they work in big tech and have a really high income. Inflation has crushed everyone but the most elite workers.
I've seen many of these "AI" offerings regurgitate their training data verbatim. If chatgpt were miraculously immune to this, despite taking the same basic approach as everybody else, and without significant efforts to prevent regurgitation, then the onus is on them to prove that.
> Small, well-behaved companion dogs have been allowed to roam free since medieval times, including indoors.

The dog in question is not small. In fact, a pyr is one of the largest dog breeds.
Some cultures expect children to take care of their parents once they hit 18. This might not be financially, but culturally driven.
I can interpret this in a couple different ways, and I want to make sure I am engaging with what you said, and not with what I thought you said.

> I think better LLMs won’t lead to AGI.

Does this mean you believe that the Transformer architecture won't be an eventual part of AGI? (possibly true, though I wouldn't bet on it)

Does this mean that you see no path for GPT-4 to become an AGI if we just leave it alone sitting on its server? I could certainly agree with that.

Does this mean that something like large language models will not be used for their ability to model the world, or plan, or even just complete patterns as does our own System one in an eventual AGI architecture? I would have a lot more trouble agreeing with that.

In general, it seems like these sequence modelers that actually work right is a big primitive we didn't have in 2016 and they certainly seem to me as an important step. Something that will carry us far past human-level, whatever that means for textual tasks.

To bring it back to the article, probably pure scale isn't quite the secret sauce, but it's a good 80-90% and the rest will come from the increased interest, the shear number of human-level intelligences now working on this problem.

Too bad we haven't scaled safety nearly as fast though!
Man-Computer Symbiosis Predictions from 1960
> The extra hardware registers might have been discovered by examining the chip itself.

Perhaps. But it's easier to phone the technical librarian and say "Hi! I'm Bob from the password inspection department. Can you verify your current password for me?"
> I am always flabbergasted when people question incredibly effective public health initiatives.

I think it comes from a generalised distrust of governments/big institutions. Which comes from hearing (often heavily distorted) stories about things like Tuskegee Syphilis, MKULTRA, CIA vaccinators in Afghanistan and Thalidomide.
What culture would that be??
I really like the idea of a hardware solution for a problem like this, as opposed to a software solution.
> if it affects flesh that way

I assume you meant to write fleas? But in case you meant flesh: it does not affect muscles directly, it affects neuro transmission. (which of course paralyses the muscles)

> wouldn't it have clear effects on the internal organs

Excellent question. And yeah it seems invertebrates have different molecular mechanism enough that these drugs affect them and not us vertebrates.

This does not appear to be 100% though. There are some, admittedly very rare, reports of neurological effects in pets. There is this[1] case for example of a Kooikerhondje exhibiting neurological symptoms. Luckily it seems at least in that case the symptoms cleared up on their own after about 10-11 hours.

> this kind of technology perplexes me

oh yeah. As far as I'm concerned "this is witchcraft" is actually a more satisfying answer than the reality.

Caution: There is a quite distressing video embedded in the article showing the dog exhibiting symptoms. You might want to skip this one.

They also make it clear that the love will be taken away the minute you stop obeying them.
>After all, razor-thin margins mean minimal income to pay taxes on, so they're of little value to the state and should be replaced by more profitable ventures.

1. Sales tax/gross receipt taxes are a thing in most jurisdictions

2. Low margins are a good thing. It means there's healthy competition driving prices (and thus profits) down.

3. Supermarkets are pretty low margin as well. Should we get rid of them and replace them with GPT wrapper startups?
Will the regulators receiving those documents also use AI to read them?
VERY broad strokes. We also still have a Sun, and the stars.

Internet and the last 30 years tech did change things dramatically. I bet that most people would feel handicapped if they were teleported just 50 years back. We got into this type of life progressively, so people didn't notice the change, even though it was dramatic. The same phenomena with gradient changes happen on physiological level too, this is not different.
Dwight Eisenhower: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
The use of "like" in this way has been attested since the 1920s, and had been overwhelmingly common in colloquial American English for around 30 years.
How many buffers?

If you hang on to 10 frames of RGB plus motion vectors at 1080p, and have 4 4K buffers where you're messing with output, that's 6MB * 2 * 10 + 25MB * 4 = 220MB of video memory. That's barely anything. And that's an extra-high estimate of the resolutions that would be involved in a switch game.
You seem to be confused, giving someone permission to do X is only permission to do X and nothing else.

If I open a store you have implied permission to enter the premises, but not stay inside for 16 hours. Further the second I ask you to leave you no longer have permission to be on the premises. The store doesn’t need to add a lock or put up signs, you’re aware you don’t have permission and that’s it.
That's a pretty important confounding factor. I wonder if there is anything that happened in 2020 that would've made acquiring new housing more difficult.

Seriously any "social science" that was done during the pandemic should probably be thrown out, because of the massive unprecedented alterations to all of society. Even if you found something out not impacted by the pandemic how would you know?

Relying on information about social behaviors and societal changes during 2020 without acknowledging the massive impact of the pandemic is like studying mortality in young adult men between 1940-1946 in Europe without acknowledging that there was a world war going on at the time.
I am very curious on what you mentioned, but not able to comprehend. Can you ELI5?
Are you saying fossil fuel based industrial revolution is not as significant as it was or we could have directly jumped to a higher level fuel?
Apple themselves haven't said a word about Vision Pro since the demo event. If $300 VR headsets can't make a dent in the public consciousness, a $3500 bauble from Apple won't do it either.

I remember all the talk about iPad Pro's AR-capable cameras. Do you know a anybody who actually uses an iPad for that?
Perhaps repair over replace might be a better concept. Since your right and ironically things like this only make people want to buy more stuff when people probably already have exactly what they need. Yesterday I realised I was wearing a crappy shirt that was over seven years old and it was still holding up great. Thanks for your comment you got me thinking about repositioning this!
The article states otherwise
I'm sure the proponents of the bill would have preferred an across-the-board bump, but this is all they could get passed. I wouldn't be surprised if this were rolled back via referendum after its effects are felt.
I remember it from my grand-grandparents. It wasn't common-common like in late 19th century Switzerland, but there was at least one case close enough to come across yourself.
We have iodised sea salt around here, and it’s not more nor less industrial than standard sea salt. It’s true that the flavour is different than hand-processed sea salt or fleur de sel because of those impurities (which include microplastics and other less-than-ideal compounds, though, even though I love and use mostly barely-processed sea salt), but it is neither more nor less salty.
Sure they do, and yet at the bottom of them we keep finding.. iMessage. Which is like a funnel that takes untrusted external input and feeds it into various ancient unmaintained native code blobs that were thrown into iOS for the "time to market". This time it's an 90s Apple extension to TrueType in a 90s Apple library that presumably no font on an iPhone actually uses, last time it was the 90s fax machine image compression algorithm in a never updated open source library. You see, the full exploit cost many many millions, but at the bottom there are entirely self-inflicted basic failures.

It would be so great if someone at Apple could get the buy-in to clean out this zoo but try explaining that to a product manager at these places.
Long-lost Moog synthesizer makes it to the stage
That is the thing, many things only manage to succeed by having the patience to wait for the outcome from incremental improvements.

But they won't be employees. They'll be contractors. Also, you still have to pay them, it's just that rather than paying them by the hour you're paying per delivery.
they are now, yes. But that was not the case in the beginning, before Google bought it, people uploaded content completely without any regard to intellectual property and YouTube became the dominant streaming media platform and a couple of otherwise fairly skilled but hardly exceptional software engineers were made multi-millionaires) because it was the place to get free stuff that you'd otherwise have to pay for.

> That’s the beauty of this process from a patent troll perspective

I know you didn't draw the connection explicitly, but I just wanted to point out that in this particular case, Masimo isn't a patent troll - they're a company that sells actual devices - https://www.masimopersonalhealth.com and is listed on the NASDAQ with market cap of $6 billion.
My father told me that goitre's were quite common when he was growing up as a boy in Detroit in the 1920's. In my generation it was totally unknown. Yet I remember people affected by polio as a boy quite well. But I bet that millennials have no personal experience with it at all. Each generation moves forward and I can only hope there is a day when no one has any first hand experience with either cancer or Alzheimer's.
The Glock 17 comes with 17 round magazines standard, though many police departments use extended magazines. Some pistols of that era had similar capacities, though it wasn't common. The Browning Hi Power came out in 1935 and had a 13 round capacity, and larger magazines (15ish rounds) were available by the 1970s. The Steyr GB was designed in the late 1960s and had an 18 round magazine. Glock's design became popular because it was reliabile, had good capacity, was easy to use, and was inexpensive. Other designs had one or more of those attributes, but not the combination of all of them.
My friend wrote a blog post about a similar model: http://www.theresistornetwork.com/2013/12/a-testament-to-x11...

Ditch the swipes; I'm not the one confused here. We're talking about copyright infringement, not trespass.

(Your analogy is bad and doesn't hold up. Copyright doesn't grant rightsholders control of the sort required here. It grants them the right to make and distribute copies. It doesn't grant the right to undistribute copies when it turns out they don't like what someone is doing with them.)
Vr will make the experience better. Going to concerts sucks unless it’s a super tiny crowd. So if you want the intimate experience with A level acts you need to be really rich. The intersections of 3d/vr and digital environments enabled heretofore inconceivable experiences that can be brought everywhere with internet.
It fascinates me when people deploy "we" in statements like the one in this title, with the implicit premise that the majority of the American people (even if you presume them to be the readership) and the US military share a common identity and common interests. If Vietnam taught us one thing it's that most Americans are little more than cannon fodder to the US military.

Or as the old saying goes... who's "we", white man?

I'm sure you're aware that ferrocyanide is not the same thing as cyanide - the cyanide is bound so tightly to the iron center that it is nontoxic.

You are confusing training a model vs using it. This way a web browser can also be said to use NYT's content.

Can we stop labeling everyhing you disagree with or anyone who disagrees with your world view as "far right". By doing so, you are perpetuating a false dichotonmy when there is a diverse political spectrum. Also, leftists attack forums as well
Healthy food is not expensive. Veggies, porridge, chicken - are affordable for everyone.

The issue is that ultra processed foods are engineered to be as addictive as possible. Fast sugars and starches with spices give fast response and provoke binge eating.

Chips are created and marketed so person will select them instead of bunch of carrots as snack. There are no sexy commercials starring raw veggies, unfortunately.
> Obviously you can't attend a court hearing if you have already been killed or deported.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a reversion to the "remain in Mexico" policy in the coming months. This flipped the presumption on whether the applicant was going to prevail on the merits, presumably because such a small percentage do ultimately qualify. There is a growing sentiment, including in bright blue cities, that the current system, which presumes applicants will qualify for asylum, is not tenable.
There's an incredible recurring phenomenon of people registering throwaway accounts on HN to talk shit while also claiming that they "don't care" about the topic. The irony is stupefying.

They were paid when the original content was to be printed or posted on the internet.

Subsequently selling (or extracting compensation for) those works to AI companies is an emergent revenue stream.

I suppose the NYT isn’t legally obligated to share that revenue fairly with the authors, but it’d be awful nice if they did.
Julia is flying for these folks already,

Similarly, I think it is important to provide an “|” grammar that defines an error response, and explain to the model that it should use that format to explain why it cannot complete the requested operation if it runs into something invalid.

Otherwise, it is forced to always provide a gibberish success response that you likely won’t catch.

I’ve tested this with Mixtral, and it seems capable of deciding between the normal response and error response based on the validity of the data passed in with the request. I’m sure it can still generate gibberish in the required success response format, but I never actually saw it do that in my limited testing, and it is much less likely when the model has an escape hatch.
At the same time, there are situations where humans are expected to provide sources for their claims. If you talk about an event in the news, it would be normal for me to ask where you heard about it. 100% accuracy in providing a source wouldn’t be expected, but if you told me you had no idea, or told me something obviously nonsense, I would probably take what you said less seriously.
I’ll add that many were already invalidated as part of the ongoing legal battle. Apple was also not found to be infringing on others. There are only a few left in question at this point. Given the direction it has gone so far, Apple has a pretty good chance of being found to not infringe on any of them.
Yes[1], but you need a relatively new version of JFR and you also need to enable a few flags to get much value out of it.

gpt-3.5-turbo is not the benchmark
Twenty or so years ago I had the pleasure of playing Antony in a school-tour version of this play. One of the best experiences of my career was the time ~300 incredibly rambunctious middle-schoolers boo'd and boo'd the actor playing Brutus, until he got them to shut up and listen to his speech (preceding this one), at the end of which they were cheering. Then I got to go out and flip them back around with this one.

The principal afterwards apologized to us that the students were "so loud", and we were like "No, that was perfect".

That recollection still gives me chills.

Flux is quite a nice lower level library:

There is scientific reason against it, just not matching many of the conspiracy nuts’ rhetoric.

Most of Western Europe bans fluoridation. It can make your bones a little less elastic and a little more brittle, and there are a few other known or potential negative effects.

There are also just better ways to prevent cavities.
There's no obvious need to hold people / AI to same standards here, yet, even if compression in mental-models is exactly analogous to compression in machine-models. I guess we decided already that corporations are already "like" persons legally, but the jury is still out on AIs. Perhaps people should be allowed more leeway to make possibly-questionable derivative works, because they have lives to live, and genuine if misguided creative urges, and bills to pay, etc. Obviously it's quite difficult to try and answer the exact point at which synthesis & summary cross a line to become "original content". But it seems to me that, if anything, machines should be held to higher standard than people.

Even if LLMs can't cite their influences with current technology, that can't be a free pass to continue things this way. Of course all data brokers resist efforts along the lines of data-lineage for themselves and they want to require it from others. Besides copyright, it's common for datasets to have all kinds of other legal encumbrances like "after paying for this dataset, you can do anything you want with it, excepting JOINs with this other dataset". Lineage is expensive and difficult but not impossible. Statements like "we're not doing data-lineage and wish we didn't have to" are always more about business operations and desired profit margins than technical feasibility.
The first three words of the article are "the coronavirus epidemic"...

I'd argue that a vaccine that allowed the virus to evolve rapidly out of it because it's only targeting on small section of the virus is pretty crappy by definition.

Don't get me wrong, it saved a lot of lives. Compared to every other vaccine we've all taken in our lives it's the absolute bottom of the barrel, and the fact that politically (and possibly for public health reasons) a good portion of politicians effectively lied about that made it so companies didn't feel like they should invest in making a better vaccine. I've had Covid twice and both times I was very sick - I'd love a better, more broad, vaccine.

I'd argue it's definitely not as effective as flu vaccines vs omicron. On a good year the flu vaccine can prevent 50% of flu cases in those that take it. Everyone I know has gotten Covid, vaccinated or not.
