Yes. What's coming next is what will make email spam and SEO articles look like a minor speedbump. And it's already happening. You won't be able to trust a single thing you read unless you're willing to verify pretty much all of it. Even trusted sources (for instance: those mainstream media that everybody loves to bitch about) are probably going to get fooled because multiple of their normally trustworthy inputs will register the same signal.

This will be a very hard problem to solve because AI based content can easily evade detection, no AI based detector so far has lived longer than a very short period before the other side had adapted and managed to evade the detector. It's a rough ride ahead, and on many fronts at once.

Half of me is seriously worried, the other half can't wait to get it over with so we can start rebuilding but then I realize that I have no idea what the stable state before we can start rebuilding will be including the option that there is no viable path to rebuilding. It's a huge mess.
> In practice, this type of hint will be most useful for pages that were removed or renamed, e.g. I have accidentally introduced numerous 404s on this site by changing the dates of the posts.

Your blog or website software should really be setting up those redirects for page moves automatically.

> You might be wondering why not just use Levenshtein's distance to find the page that the user was looking for. The reason is that Levenshtein's distance is only going to be useful in case of typos. Whereas vector embeddings will go further and find the pages that are the most semantically similar

Which is not at all necessarily what they wanted, compared to an honest 404! This would be particularly bad given that you fail to set up redirects for ordinary page moves/renames: this means that I could link to your post on 404 pages, you move it, the embedding fail and silently send all future visitors to a different post (eg. maybe you write a second post on 404 pages; after all, there's now a roughly 50-50 chance of which one would be ever so slightly more similar embedding-wise). This further means that anyone who updates their links to follow redirects will unwittingly bake the lie into their page, making what used to be a working link or an honest error into a false live link.

In general, I would suggest that you set up correct redirects to obviate most of it, use embedding search to curate possible redirects, and only present a list of suggestions on a genuine 404 error.

(Incidentally, if you have a good list of redirects, Levenshtein search on the list itself with a new error will often correctly generate a redirect. So you don't even need embeddings/retrieval to fix a lot of regular 404s. I'd say the majority of my remaining 404s are handled by my Levenshtein search script.)
> What if we, you know, start hiring competent people?

I've seen enough doctors at this point in completely different specialities and they're all reliably pretty bad. After so many years of education and experience.

To me this backs-up another common sense fact: experts often suck and persist in their error because they've built an entire toolbox of sophisticated mental tools that are able to support their erroneous thinking. To me this is why experts of all sorts are often in the position of arguing "don't believe your lying eyes" to normal people.
> I think you'll find discussions significantly more straightforward if you don't make up the other person's side of the conversation

You never specified your "obvious" definition, so I had to reverse engineer it from your examples. I wouldn't have to make up your side of the conversation if you just actually said what it is. You're still using "obvious" and "clearly" as meaning obvious to you, based on every iota of experience you've ever had, but totally failed to justify why exactly your "obvious" opinions should be obvious to anyone else. Either you have a hard and fast definition that can definitively determine whether that thing is or is not part of a body, or it's not obvious. Unless your rule for determining whether something is part of a body is: "just ask filleduchaos, and he'll tell you whether it obviously is or obviously is not."

> And your gut microbiota is very clearly considered to be a _separate_ organism from you

"Very clearly" again. It's considered a separate organism because it has different DNA than your germ cells. But so do your mitochondria. So does a chimeric twin. Is a chimera "obviously one" or "obviously two" bodies? Tell me which one of those is so obvious that I'd be completely stupid to believe the other one, please. I suspect you'll say it's obviously one body, but then you have a problem with gut bacteria being obviously not part of your body.

Do intellectuals / creatives not deserve the fruits of their own labor?

I get corporate IP is used for a lot of bad. But intellectuals and artists create a lot of value for society in ways that are very hard to monitize as a individual. If we completely kill IP what becomes of our authors, philopshipers, historians, artists etc.?

They are already having it hard as it is with existing ip protections vs. big tech, big pharma, big record labels, etc.
What did you use to build your own?
Open Source and Free Software wasn't formulated to deal with the need for this level of gargantuan amounts of data and compute.

Can the public compete? What percentage of the technical public could we expect to participate, and how much data, compute, and data quality improvement could they bring to the table? I suspect that large corporations are at least an order of magnitude advantaged economically.
Also, thanks for sharing!
Copyright is not a real thing. It's a fiction. Subverting copyright law is not like subverting the laws of physics. What happens when you subvert copyright law is some guys with guns, in either an overt way or a subtle one, force a trade of your imaginary resource (copyright) for the real resource (money), through licensing or fines.

Debate about what AI means for copyright is really a debate about what we choose to do, what we choose to allow. It's a debate about whether the guys with guns will stop the development of AI, or how much.

It's a bit of clever misdirection to declare the output of AI's "copyrightable" or "not copyrightable." Copyrightable is made up! It's fiction! It is whatever we want it to be!
I'm not disputing that, just commenting on the specific reference to wind chill.

I have plenty of experience with plugging in block heaters. One nice thing is they don't have to be plugged in all night long, just for an hour or so in the morning. In fact, modern vehicles specifically call out not keeping them plugged in all night long.
I posted elsewhere in the thread that, with the limited dataset I have (which includes families at a few schools of very different kinds, not just, like, my friend group) it sure looks to me like there's a sharp difference between the way the culturally upper-middle (under Fussell's model—the working "professional" class like doctors and lawyers, executives, that sort of thing) and higher, and the culturally middle-or-lower handle device use & access with their kids.

It's a big enough difference that, unless phones turn out not to have much of an effect (an... unlikely proposition, I think) on educational outcomes, I fully expect this to manifest as a widening gap between already-very-inequitable educational outcome stats for the (loosely) rich vs. the poor.

(Example: middle-class public school, 5th grader gets teased for not having a phone. "Your family must be so poor, hahaha!" Nearly the whole class has phones, and most of those have them on their person in class.

Bottom-edge-of-"fancy" private school—only like 25% of the kids in 5th grade have one at all, half of those aren't allowed to bring them to school, and the rest keep them put away, out of reach, during class and lunch and such—there is no teasing, not having your own phone, especially at school and certainly in class, is the overwhelming norm.)
@TuringNYC and @jachee

What had sprung to mind for me was the wholesale rip off of European IP by the US in its commercial development in the 19th century and China now with the US.

I guess what I'm thinking of is at the individual level, no one cares much for re-appropriating someone elses work. It has been normalised.
There's little I hate more than watching game devs engage with and respond to vitriolic fuming. Communities try so hard to tell people not to shit on devs, to be polite, to engage calmly and rationally, and then a certain subset of devs see a shitty, cranky post or comment getting attention and just can't help but weigh in to defend themselves.

I understand the temptation, but it's deeply frustrating to see.
A quick search seems to say most studies agree this type of thing does lower the divorce rate by a significant amount. Out of nothing more than curiosity... One thing I couldn't find was how many people decide to not get married because of that program and decide that marriage wasn't for them? (I assume that has some name I just can't figure out what to search for) I'm just curious if it's common for people to say "Glad we did this, we shouldn't get married"
No; compilers have done this even without fast-math. Gcc does not seem to do this anymore, but still does plenty of unsafe optimizations by default, like FMA.

Or maybe the library you use...
Some additional context: the editor of the manual was Sam Leffler, who was a coworker of Lasseter at Lucasfilm at the time.

> The later, more popular versions of the BSD Daemon were drawn by animation director John Lasseter beginning with an early greyscale drawing on the cover of the Unix System Manager's Manual published in 1984 by USENIX for 4.2BSD.[7] Its author/editor Sam Leffler (who had been a technical staff member at CSRG) and Lasseter were both employees of Lucasfilm at the time. About four years after this Lasseter drew his widely known take on the BSD Daemon for the cover of McKusick's co-authored 1988 book, The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD Operating System.[8] Lasseter drew a somewhat lesser-known running BSD Daemon for the 4.4BSD version of the book in 1994.

The result that living together before marriage leads to worse marriages is a really surprising one. The justification is that it leads to "sliding" into a marriage which you may not otherwise have chosen because once you've cohabitated, a breakup is significantly more logistically challenging: breaking a lease, dealing with pets, etc. That does make a lot of sense, when you think about it!

I'm curious to know how this person decided to just go looking into the source code of this very specific app.

Why this one?
For me:

* Not having "extended partitions" as a concept to deal with

* OS booting not dependant on "load an MSDOS bootblock from LBA offset X"

What I dislike:

* Not having a minimal straightforward shell to troubleshoot from

* Not letting the UEFI variables be easily user accessible/fixable
95% of the value comes from the model being freely downloadable and analyzable (i.e. not obfuscated/crippled post-hoc). Sure there is some difference, but as researchers I care far more about open access than making every "gnuight" on the internet happy that we used the right terminology.
Does this mean Google knows what we are looking at?
So crazy that things like this still happen in production. I mean, maybe I have survivorship bias (we never hear about the companies that don't have security flaws, or the hundreds of APIs that are completely secure), but it should be super easy to make a site that is secure. Even I know how to do it. It shouldn't be that hard to find people who know how to make secure sites.
By a factor of a million in my typo of “125M km2”, right? The available solar power calculation is still correct, I believe.

Then what we need isn't open source. It's something else. Maybe called "Open Model?"

It’s not impossible. AI developers can 100% trace node that contribute to a result during the processing of a prompt, therefore they can be attributed.

They’ll never do this, of course, cause they’re riding high on wins of stupid people pushing “you can’t work backward from a result to find the nodes” (which is probably somewhat grounded in reality).

Attribution is absolutely not impossible, they just want to think it’s not possible, because enabling such a thing would show just how egregious the copying actually is.
Nope.

Low voltage batteries are generally a bit more susceptible to the cold, since they don't have heaters and have a lot of constant draw circuits attached to them.
If you bootstrap you can also build something that actuality solves a problem and isn't focused on extracting maximum profit by becoming another middleman no one needs.

No. Where do you have this from?

Looking at NeurIPS 2023:

https://openreview.net/group?id=NeurIPS.cc/2023/Conference#t...

Some random spotlight papers:

- https://openreview.net/pdf?id=YkBDJWerKg: Transformer (VPT) with 248M parameters

- https://openreview.net/pdf?id=CAF4CnUblx: Vit-B/16 with 86M parameters

- https://openreview.net/pdf?id=3PjCt4kmRx: Transformer with 282M parameters

Also, in my field (speech recognition, machine translation, language modeling), all using Transformer variants, this is a pretty normal model size.
I love that Amdahl mainframe (page 6) with that humongous 20" CRT console.

Most likely showing a 24x80 3270 console session, with 8x16 character cells (if that much), but, still, quite awesome.

I'm not aware of any that ended up in a museum, sadly.

For those with sufficiently cool IEEE memberships, there is quite a lot about Sabre in the Annals of the History of Computing magazine archives.

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/279229, which is not about Sabre, but Air Canada's system.

If you think about it, modern IBM mainframes have a lot of weirdness about their filesystems and the concept of a file. Those machines are very alien for people who grew up on Unix.
I agree with the spirit of your comment, but I do think the bar for proof-reading published material (like a blog post) should be much higher than the bar for informal communication (like a forum comment).

> Anytime you have rankings of highly multi-dimensional and at least somewhat subjective things there are basically always going to be accusations of bias

That's because you will always have bias. You cannot do dimensional reduction on systems without losing information unless the dimension you are reducing to is at least as large as the number of independent variables (trying to use close to plain English here). US News has a one-dimensional ranking and certainly there are more than one independent variable that needs be considered for comparing institutions, so it must have bias.
Ok, we've put John Lasseter up there now.
How is it not? Giant company vs tiny company. With basically all the profit being allocated to the giant company.

Yes it’s not software and yes the tiny company is not single-person company. But that really doesn’t change the situation (well except for you being seemingly personally affected). You can call this situation unfair and say that it _should_ not exist. But reality just disagrees with your assessment that it _does_ not exist. At least as far as I can see. Feel free to explain the difference that I’m missing.

And just for completeness sake: this isn’t even unique in software. Distribution commissions were usually in that order of magnitude. Even for less service and reach
Funny enough, DASD is now, for the first time, more accurate than "disk".

But yes. Talking to mainframe people is a bit like talking to astronauts, in that their jargon is completely impenetrable to the uninitiated.
Nothing? This is worse than nutrition studies in terms of being able to draw conclusions.

An RCT(randomized controlled trial) is the minimum standard of evidence necessary in this domain to perform a Bayesian update. Unfortunately, and even worse than nutrition, everyone is more tempted to weigh in with anecdotes, conclusions from bias, and arm-chair sociology.

At a minimum conclusions based on correlational studies like this should be disregarded. They're inconclusive at best and re-enforce already concluded preconceptions at worst.
FWIW I was able to get about 20% accuracy (perfect 4/4 groups) with ~50% of groups correct on average and most mistakes being groups with 3/4 right (so at least on the right track) with my first attempt at 0-shot prompting. The prompt goes something like this:
```
You are playing [game info] with [word list]
Follow these steps:
- consider possible groupings as initial brainstorming (>4 groups)
- propose a first hypothesis based on the likely-looking groups
- reflect on whether that grouping works
- revise if needed then submit the final predictions
```
Having it start with word one of group one as the first output token seems unlikely to work from my intuition about what these models can do. Heck, I can't solve it that way! Burning some tokens on exploration and hypothesis building leaves it with the easier task of choosing plausible groups from the proposed options. System 2 thinking vs system 1 perhaps.

This was abrupt from my perspective I feel like they could have done more to let us know. Like I updated cron and suddenly it was just gone from my hard disk I thought something broke. Instead I suddenly have a new notion product on my hard disk.
that being said is there a conversation to be had here about how best to reach users and make them aware of changes like this?
Here's a rebuttal article as well, to bring nuance to the conversation:

Our volunteer group is creating new urban forests. Digging out invasives and planting natives.

Our soil is terrible. Glacial till (?) and gravel.

In addition to mulch and soil treatments, someone suggested transplanting some dirt from healthy forest areas. Maybe there's fungus, bacteria, or whatever, that will help our new plants. Couldn't hurt, right?

That was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. I went into it expecting practical advice and found mostly vague hyperbolic promises of the magical benefits. If the hypothesis was that this note taking method produces lower effort, higher quality output, then the author either didn’t use the system or the book is evidence against its effectiveness

> If a band of professional musicians can put out an album with original music and multi-track mixing for $10, a pre-written book with a single voice performer and minimal production crew shouldn't cost multiples of that.

Not saying this is fair, but musicians often do economically sub-optimal things for the love of creation and because it is a passion. Hopefully, the musician also gets added revenue from concerts.

The voice performance doesnt get the fame nor after-performance revenue -- so naturally they are charging market rates for their time reading. Further, most of the credit/glory goes to the author, not the voice performer. I doubt most people know who the voice performer is on audiobooks.
I don't know how they can say `closer to market salary (e.g. $80K)` with a straight face. That is so below market to be laughable. Gas station managers make more.
I believe they can. Competency/highly skilled is useful enough.
I'm not sure I like the direction AI is going anyway.

Right now we're on a path towards just a handful of megacorps with AI agents that will make large numbers of white collar workers redundant. Imagine something like closed-source software only much worse.
This is not a bad thing. Businesses should plan to make a money themselves and not count on being acquired. I’d say that mindset is the source of a lot of our current economic woes
