The method they use is surprisingly simple. They claim GPTs can’t effectively generate beyond the context window because our models overfit on positional encodings. The fix is literally to cap the positional encodings at inference time.

It makes sense intuitively that the exact position of tokens really only matters for adjacent or near adjacent tokens. For far away tokens a rough position is fine.
eh, tritium and its decay products float off into space unless incorporated into a heavier molecule (e.g. burning concentrated tritium into water). even then hydrogens are usually pretty labile and don't bioaccumulate unlike e.g. calcium/strontium/phosphorous. so the risk of exposure is negligible except maybe in manufacturing, and the risk of environmental accumulation is also negligible.

with tritium/phosphor, the brightness is super dim but more than sufficient in actual darkness. it's simple, stable under extreme environmental conditions, and there's nothing microscopic or macroscopic to break besides the containment vessel itself. it lasts for decades and fails by dimming gradually (unless the containment vessel is broken at least). not sure about exit sign construction but the little bitty capsule form factor is quite resilient..

by contrast LEDs and electronics in general seem to be less tolerant of challenges (i.e. side reactions in the battery over 10 years at elevated temperature, it gets zapped by an electrical arc etc). also the manufacturing is just as nasty and the stuff is less likely to just float off into space

This isn’t the sort of thing I expect people to “get in trouble” for at the time of filing. I expect that years later, if the startup turns out to be worth something and the taxpayer is audited, the auditors will go through old paperwork and discover a very large amount of taxes they can collect.
> Sites start to close up behind more anti-copy protection or literal paywalls to make things not-so-freely accessible. And that ends the free internet as we know it. We are indeed starting to see pieces of this happen in real time

Sites have been pushing towards "to continue reading, download our app" or "you've reached your free article limit, subscribe for just $X" for a long time, because it's profitable. I don't think there's sense in retroactively placing the blame for this behavior on crawlers - it's a tactic designed for humans, to the extent that it's often implemented in ways entirely ineffective against bots such as putting an element in front of the content, using cookies to track viewed article count, or even intentionally letting bot user-agents through the paywall. Sites are capable of restricting GPTBot/CCBot/etc., or putting a rate limit on crawling, without impacting human readers.

> You can reguritate the source with enough prompting. This seems to imply that some server out there is in fact just storing hoards of source material on itself. If that server is commercialized and has TBs of copyright material, that seems to go past the fair use argument of "limited use".

The model isn't retrieving content from some storage server during inference if that's what you're thinking, but consider Google Books which does actually do that - storing a huge number of in-copyright books internally on Google's servers and retrieving snippets when searched. As found in Authors Guild v. Google, this is Fair Use - in particular:

> > What matters in such cases is not so much "the amount and substantiality of the portion used" in making a copy, but rather the amount and substantiality of what is thereby made accessible to a public for which it may serve as a competing substitute.
Totally - but is the AI development of robots included in the timeline for what you're calling AGI? Can we get to AGI without having those robots, and then the AGI designs them?

I think they'll ultimately go hand in hand - this is more just a question of what we're defining AGI to be and whether robotics should be mandatory as part of the stated definition around doing 95% of work.
There are a few (TNG and Voyager for sure, maybe DS9 too) Star Trek stories that deal a bit with holodeck addiction ("holo-addiction"), and I think something at that level of immersion would absolutely cause lots of people to completely withdraw from society, especially if (real world) society is bleak (Ready Player One deals with this aspect of it). I already know 30-something childless adults who spend effectively every non-working moment in some virtual world -- these people are effectively already holo-addicted. It will only get worse if these environments are more able to block out reality.

To me the sad thing about my friends in this situation is that they usually aren't in some swashbuckling fantasy epic starring them, but grinding Runescape/WoW/Eve/etc., performing the same repetitive actions over and over, with the occasional burst of actually interesting interaction or story. They've replaced the real-world grind with a synthetic grind, but they are still grinding! At least its cheaper than a sports gambling addiction, and probably marginally less health-destroying than a drinking habit.
It's January. This is when annual budgets are set. Layoffs are a natural consequence of "the budget for this year is smaller than last year". Hell, even if the budget is the same size, it'll result in layoffs if anyone got promoted, anyone got cost-of-living raises, etc. A 4% cost-of-living adjustment for everyone results in a ~4% layoff if annual budgets remain constant.

Also, the market is predicting rate cuts in March. There is always the chance of the market being wrong, and several prominent institutions (notably Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase) have said they believe this is overly optimistic and it's unclear if we're even done with rate hikes, let alone rate cuts. The Fed statements themselves do not come anywhere close to what the market is predicting - the dot plot (which has trended overoptimistic for the last 3 years) predicts 3 rate cuts, while the market predicts 7.

It's trackers. I don't block ads, I block trackers.

So my actions affect those who utilize the network(s) I administer.
Being an expert doesn't necessarily make you a good debater. Debates aren't about who's "right", they're about who has made a more convincing argument.

The article used alternative history cranks as an example of someone good at conjuring up seemingly convincing arguments, despite being pretty much the opposite of an expert.
> My point is that the way this made it to computing is not so much the specific "file of punch cards", but through a more abstract route

That is not what the history books tell. If you have a different story to share, I'm sure the record would love to be updated. I'm rather surprised you haven't already shared your story with us. I guess you don't really have a point.

> So, "a file" in the figurative sense means "something that is stored"

I expect you are thinking of the parallel definition of "file", the one which often goes along with the word "folder". Which is a funny one as in the real world the folder is the file as it is abstracted in that model, but anyway... What we speak of may not be a file in that sense, but as it happens, words can have multiple meanings. In fact, you just spent half your comment telling us that, so there is no turning back now...
There’s a Linux app for OneNote? I’ve been looking for one that isn’t just “use the online version in the browser”. Which isn’t half bad except for the fact that it loads pages on demand and so is slow on first load.
TV channels have self-regulation as well - admittedly it doesn't directly kill people. There's also police departments, I suppose.
All you have to do is look at how these things play out. One large company announces they're considering layoffs, which primes everyone else to compile their own lists.

After a month or two one company announces they're going through with layoffs, and that sets off a chain reaction for the rest to execute their own plans as soon as possible. It always happens like this. Everyone just decides now is the time to clean house, all at the same time, and we all decided to do this independent of each other...

The "collusion" is a dog-whistle protocol happening in plain sight. There is no "evidence," no damning email to be found, only behavioral patterns to observe. It's the same playbook every single time.

Turning Red v Wish Dragon are both kindof Asian-oriented kids movies with pretty decent messages and "mature" topics if you watch them with an adult mindset. Those both kindof felt "cash grabby" but I didn't feel like I wanted my time back after watching them.

Luca (to me) was just so dull I barely remember the plot or message.

Encanto (v Puss in Boots Last Wish) both had a lot of "Soul" (Soul, and Inside Out being other really good animated movies), and I'd happily watch any of them again.
The main reason it will never be competitive is that the signal from a small device to satellite will always be weak. The Starlink V2 satellites have a big antenna to even work.

The cells for Direct-to-Cell are hundreds of miles in diameter which means the modest (10 Mbps) bandwidth is spread over thousands of people. There is enough bandwidth for voice and very limited data, but they would need to get it working first.

The authors of the article claim that the Unity runtime uses (some of) those libraries, and that it is being used on iOS as well. You're right of course that I have not done any independent research on it, and so they may be lying or wrong for all I know.

However, even if Unity is not using those libraries in the iOS runtime but does use them somewhere else, that still seems that they were arbitrary in their enforcement of the rules, since the VLC packages mentioned here were not being distributed for iOS at all. So they were certainly not using LGPL on iOS either.

I'd also mention that I'm not claiming that Unity is breaking the LGPL. I'm rather more of the opinion that distributing LGPL apps for iOS is not in contradiction with any of the terms of the LGPL, and that Unity thinks so as well.

Flipping the script a bit:

As a senior developer, avoid cultivating learned helplessness. You can push back on this in a couple ways:

1) Instead of answering questions, give a nudge to where the solution is documented ("Hey I'm swamped, but I'd recommend checking X for more info. If you haven't read through X yet, that's a good resource to skim"). Keep tabs on how much your junior team members are expected to know, nudge them harder if they aren't taking the time to ingest the gestalt of what's there (it feels like a waste of time to do so sometimes... Reading isn't getting code written. But knowing what's already there saves work in the long run).

2) When something isn't documented... review the docs a junior team member writes, don't write them yourself. This both encourages them to have ownership over the system and will probably generate better docs in the long run (everyone has a notion of what docs should look like, but communication is two-way: seeing what someone writes down clues you into what you missed is necessary to record. Can't tell you how many docs I've seen for cloud systems, for example, that assume the user is logged in with proper credentials when that step alone usually requires handshaking across three services and maybe an IT team).

3) Prefer mistakes to silence. Don't bash a team member for making a correctible mistake, even in production; use it as a learning opportunity both for them and for you (if that mistake was possible, you're missing a guardrail). Actively communicate to junior members that wrong code that exists is preferable to no code; wrong code can be talked about, no code is work yet to be done. And be aware that for a lot of junior devs, the reaction to making a visible error is like touching a hot stove; cultivate a soup-to-nuts environment that minimizes that hot-stove reflex.
As an EV believer that happily owns a Tesla Model 3, I grimace thinking about peoples first EV experience being a rental car. When I went on a 4 day vacation that would include a decent amount of driving (going from Fort Lauderdale out to Key West & back) I specifically chose the Nissan Altima in the corner of the lot, rather than the fancy EV Mercedes that wouldn't have cost me any more money due to my status with Hertz. If there was a Tesla I probably would have been fine picking it due to the robustness of the supercharger network, but someone's first EV experience being a Chevy Bolt while on vacation is setting the EV movement back years.
You'd think with all the noise about how awful Siri is you would see Google crushing voice integrations as a top 3 advantage. Now I'm left wondering if the reason Apple has abandoned Siri and Homepod is because they are fundamentally flawed products.

This is all very noble on paper.

Yes, people can be persuasive to twist the truth.

And testing is good for arriving at proof.

But what the ancient philosophers didn't count on, is that there is a machine in charge of what gets tested and how, and that choosing what and how things get tested can also be twisted to be persuasive. I can develop and thoroughly test my own drug, and then persuade you that a much cheaper chemical is not tested enough (because I blocked all attempts at testing it), and then I would point to the noble principles of ancient science as to why things need verification.

In other words, the current world is teaching us that really powerful corporations can test selectively about a whole lot of things.
Their competitors are BofA and JPMC.

All three feature an investment bank, a commercial bank and an asset manager. There are a number of smaller operations which have all three but none at the scale of those three. Wells is much smaller, and HSBC isn’t a US bank. Goldman and Morgan Stanley don’t really have a commercial banks and neither do the mega sized asset managers like Blackrock.

So the thing is Citi isn’t really a bad commercial bank and is really useful for corporate treasury services if you’re a large multinational company. Their international footprint is huge and fit a lot of use cases it’s either them or HSBC.

The problem is the IB and AM are ‘meh’ and hugely inefficient. It’s not like they do such a terrible job from a customer perspective. From an investor perspective it just costs so much to do it.
I have a rental which has been on the market since late September. The price has gone down by 20% (but was probably way too high to begin with).

I will not drop the price further due to some weird laws in my American state. Ideally though, it would go down another 10%.
I don't disagree here, but the new chips here have special neural compute units, and specifically he's talking about models larger than 24GB.
Then this seems to be the loophole that needs to be resolved. Before the estate pays out, the debts should be settled within the estate using the cost basis belong to the deceased. Assets paid out after loans are satisfied should then have their cost basis reset (if that happens at all, I don't want to take a stance either way if that should happen, except it should only apply once loans are repaid if it ever does apply).
> But the world won't become a better place if all we do is to shame those people with self-flagellatory insinuations that they should re-think their place in the world or whatever.

Do you _actually_ feel shamed by the researcher, or by reading the researcher's opinion? Why feel shame over something you think is wrong? There were no admonishments or moral proclamations -- from whence cometh your shame?

Also, there's some irony that you say "if all we do is shame people..." --- Don't lump me in with you! Isn't that your problem with the quote to begin with?

The vast majority of industries are practically self-inspected, even when inspectors exist.

For example, take construction engineering; the government doesn't fully inspect every single submitted drawing, they may spot check here and there and make sure the paperwork is filled out, but the final duty rests with the engineer of record.

Same with building inspections, they're no where near detailed and long enough to catch everything, it's mainly a spot check to verify that it's not horribly incorrect.
IME Wildcard redirect URLs have become more common in recent years due to the rise of preview environments. If you're deploying a git branch to Vercel, and you now want to log in to <project-name>-git-<branch-name>-<scope-slug>.vercel.app, then you don't want to bother with configuring a different redirect URL for every branch name. Enter the wildcard.

Ideally wildcards are only used in dev/staging environments, but if the system allows for misconfiguration, the system will be misconfigured.

The post you were replying to (unless it was edited after your reply) specifically mentioned a shopping cart cookie as one that could be classed as strictly necessary. There are other options but they have issues (tracking via query string or form values doesn't work well with multiple tabs open for instance). The cart ID can be the session ID too for as long as it is needed.

Of course they don't have to be stored, in fact they shouldn't be stored. They are session level naturally so belong in session level cookies not more permanent storage.

Also, while session tokens in cookies are usually fine to be defined as strictly essential for the main site, they are generally not for 3rd party cookies.

> localStorage/sessionStorage seems kind of like the same thing? Am I missing somehting?

No, those are more often used in equivalent ways to cookies though they don't do exactly the same job, extra logic is needed if your server-side needs to access the stored information. Cookie values are sent to the web server(s) with every request (except where certain flags are set), data in session/local storage needs to be explicitly read out and sent on in GET or POST parameters when needed.
I usually look at the lights instead of the switch to determine if the lights are on.

I haven't experienced many outages recently, but I'm fine with lights off until I turn them back on as a default. Its also possible to just have the lights revert back to their previous state as an automation in HA, although it seems like a waste of time to program instead of turning lights back on as you need them.
