No this isn't what I mean.

Unrelated to where the model runs, it is unclear how you are specifying what you want the model to do. Usually you input the code and some natural language instructions into the context of the model and it will follow the instructions to generate new code.

But you say you are fine tuning, and it's unclear why this is.

There could be good reasons to do this: Maybe you have an in-house language it doesn't know, or maybe you are fine tuning on old-data -> old-transform-code -> new data + errors or something.

But usually you don't need to do fine tuning for this task.
On the other hand, where does the path we're on lead?

Let's not forget, there is a multi-dimensional spectrum in between, nobody is consistent across the spectrum, it is possible and often beneficial to speculate non-seriously, plenty of ~good people support intentional killing by our military if it has a well crafted (by literal professional thought shapers), just-so story to accompany it, and so forth and so on.

Optimal gameplay is difficult. Even aspiring to it is difficult.

The computational semantics of the NFA simply requires that the next state be one of the allowable next states in the transition function d: Q x ∑ --> PowerSet(Q).

Thus, this semantics implicitly encodes the notion that the machine is nondeterministically choosing the next state in each execution.

The decision problem of whether an NFA accepts a string w is what allows for the informal parallel interpretation, that it accepts iff you imagine the computation is forking off a new thread at each nondeterministic branch. But to say that this not nondeterministic or not probabilistic is like saying the Many-Worlds Interpretation means there is no real superposition, or something like that. It's like saying a throw of a dice does not really involve probability because of a symmetry argument that a dice has six equal sides. Mainly, I don't understand that, because I see probability as a way to implement nondeterminism: a system is probabilistic only because it is making nondeterministic choices according to some probability distribution. And checking Sipser 2nd ed. p.368: "A probabilistic Turing machine is a type of nondeterministic Turing machine in which each step is a coin-flip step".

Anyhow, my main issue was that the original commenter casually claimed that probability makes things (physics) uncomputable. But Turing computability has nothing to do with probability, since as I recall the closest concept is the Non-deterministic Turing Machine (NDTM) and with that it is a basic proof to show that NFAs vs. DFAs, as well as NDTMs vs. DTMs, are computationally equivalent and there are theorems for that.

Meaning either they are using an idiosyncratic definition of computability or are ignorant of an introductory course on theory of computing which explains formally what Turing/Church's theories were about when clarifying the concept of computability. Okay or maybe they have a deeper philosophical disagreement with computability and complexity theorists - maybe they reject Sipser's definition above - but these are standard undergraduate curricula in CS by now and it could be argued that perhaps it is the non-CS experts who haven't thought deeply enough about what computability really is and would benefit from actually learning from these subdisciplines. I don't know, as they did not reply.
Somehow this isn't surprising given their music.

Boston metro has more than enough land. The densest cities -Somerville and Boston proper - have 1/3 the population density of Paris. The problem is local zoning prohibits building denser housing and commercial real estate, and thus artificially limits Boston metro’s tax base. Harvard is not causing gentrification in Allston. Mayor Wu’s restrictive zoning is.

Cash buyers pay an overhead that subsidizes credit card buyers, average taxpayers pay taxes that the wealthy find ways to avoid, and so on.

These decisions are made by corporations and institutions. I just do what I think is right. That includes not blaming people I dislike for things they similarly don't control.

good resilience, it's not easy picking yourself up after some rough breaks. Glad to hear it's going well.
This came up before and it was super confusing to me because I had no idea what it was referring to but I also believe Tavis isn’t one to make something up. So I took some time to investigate.

Turned out, no one on our management, legal, communications, or public policy team had any idea what he was talking about. Eventually I figured out that a non-executive former member of our engineering team was dating someone who worked as a fairly junior staffer at the FTC. On the employee’s personal time they mentioned being frustrated by how the disclosure took place to the person they were dating. I believe the employee’s frustration was because we and Project Zero had agreed on a disclosure timeline and then they unilaterally shortened it because an embargo with a reporter got messed up.

There was never anything that Cloudflare or any executive raised with the FTC. And the FTC never took or even considered taking any action. The junior FTC staffer may have said something to Tavis or our employee may have said something about telling the staffer they were dating, but that was the extent of it.

I understand Tavis’s perspective, and agree it was inappropriate of the former Cloudflare employee, but this was two people not in any position of leadership at either Cloudflare or the FTC talking very much out of school.

Why are all the case studies in Mandarin? I skimmed the paper looking for examples of output, and while the text is in English, the only examples I found were in Mandarin.
I couldn't comprehend the content of the linked article, so I sought out the original piece from Reuters. Here's a concise summary:

- Appin, an Indian firm, is accused by Reuters of functioning as the e-commerce platform for hacking (similar to Amazon but for hacking). Users log in to a covert portal, place orders to hack into target mailboxes, make payments, and receive the delivered data.

- Appin received requests globally, including from RAW, IB, and the Indian military. However, when the Indian government detected financial irregularities, government contracts ceased. In desperation, Appin took on any available work, but it didn't survive.

- Despite Appin's demise, its former employees initiated similar ventures that are still active today.

Considering the involvement of the Indian government, I anticipated Appin and its founders to dispute the allegations, and they did. The article was subsequently removed, raising allegations of censorship.

The linked article discusses the backlash against this alleged censorship.

The timing of this article is intriguing, coinciding with the recent Pannun affair and now presenting another accusation, this time in the cyberspace. Reuters mentions that "The National Security Agency (NSA), which spies on foreigners for the U.S. government, began surveilling the company after watching it hack “high value” Pakistani officials around 2009, one of the sources said. An NSA spokesperson declined to comment." This may lead Indians to question: if the NSA can hack, why can't we?
A man who said he wants “7 elected officials to die slow” you call “gentle”. I’d hate to hear who you consider aggressive.
I remember a time when I'd pick up every single call received... now it's the opposite, I only have it ring on recognized phone numbers + I skim voicemails, filter out the ones that leave the 3-4s of silence or autoplay text, and call back those who actually have business purpose with me.

If there exist AI robocalls that start spoofing my friends and loved ones... ugh, I can just imagine the hassle of doing due diligence for every voicemail going forward. (This does kinda remind me of the scams where someone pretends to be a kidnapped distant family member, cries in the background of the call, and asks for ransom money....)

> Allowing organizations with a lifespan in centuries the ability to buy and hold land without limit at no cost seems like a bad long term economic policy.

Why? If you believe land should be owned at all, an institution with a lifespan in centuries seems more likely to use the land responsibly than one with shorter-term planning. (At the least they should be less likely to e.g. dump a bunch of toxic waste for others to clean up; better, they actually have an incentive to develop it in positive ways)

So too with double standards, hypocrisy, etc.
I'm not sure what Tan's specific beef is, I could never endorse violent rhetoric in politics, but the level of avoidable human misery caused by the dysfunction of politics in San Francisco is sickening. If you can walk through the Tenderloin without becoming utterly enraged at the people responsible, there's a piece of your soul missing.
I tried:

For the roman emperor prompt, Bard produced:

17 white men

2 white women

1 black man

1 black woman

For your prompt, Bard produced:

21 black men*

Interestingly, for the Roman Emperor prompt, Bard never refused to produce an image, though once instead of an image it only produced alt-text for two images, and once it only produced a single image, while for the African Oba prompt, three times it insisted it could not produce an image of that, once it explained that it is incapable of producing images, and once it produced only a single image rather than a pair.

*After typing most of this reply, I went to run more to see if it would ever behave differently, and on the 22nd image it produced an image of a black woman.
Agreed. This whole post reads as "I'm the victim" but they don't admit on the one mistake that snowballed

It sounds like you've gotten people to take advantage of you.

I've had that happen at startups too, but believe me, you can probably be making triple what the startup paid you and have pretty good job security putting in merely 9 hours a day or something.

You have the talent, you're a hard worker, you seem like you're so close to being set. There are enjoyable high paying jobs that, while a little bit of stress, are not near as stressful as the overworked startup life that pays peanuts.

Just something to chew on, as someone who jumped from startup life to FAANG after ~18 YoE recently.

My mom's grandfather passed away from an aneurysm in his 40s. Her brother died of an aneurysm in his 20s. Her younger sister had some sort of brain-blood-vessel anomaly related to a benign tumor, but she had it removed. My mom had an aneurysm burst in her 70s but she survived. Her neurologist said that all my great-grandpa's descendents should get brain MRIs to determine if we have the same problem.

Several of my siblings and our kids got brains scans, but nobody found anything to report on them.

Meanwhile, two of my mom's younger sisters (both in their 70s) just passed away since 2021 from pancreatic cancer. Scary stuff.

As California has so clearly proven, the issue with human society is that there will allways be optimizing agents that prod the wall of enforcement of law to its extent. With humans it seems that there is ALLWAYS an incentive for crime until ever single human has a star trek replicator and a holodeck, or we put aside consent/freedom aside and have mandatory psychological conditioning for everyone.

You dont need authoritarian rule to have strong law enforcement. You just need sensible laws and good funding for police enforcement.

Question: Why do you choose LGPL-3.0? For many, one of the most attractive features of SQLite is its license (or should I say lack thereof).

I realise some people view public domain as legally problematic. I think the best answer for that is public-domain equivalent licenses such as 0BSD [0] or MIT-0 [1] – technically still copyrighted, but effectively not, since they let you do anything under zero conditions. (There are other, possibly more well-known options such as Unlicense or WTFPL or CC0; however, those tend to upset lawyers more than 0BSD and MIT-0 do.)

Of course, it is your work, and you are free to license it however you like. Still, some potential users are going to be put off by the licensing.

This sounds like an excellent project, and I hope it continues to a production release.

I do have one qualm, though. SQLite is written in C, and if I were writing plugins for it, I would seriously consider myself bound to using C for them, regardless of the merits of the language. I can easily imagine myself trying to build an extended SQLite library where one plugin is written in Zig, another in Rust, and perhaps a third in Hare. A fourth plugin might be written in C, but be built using Meson. Yet another plugin written in C is built with Bazel. And here I come, writing my plugin in Chibi Scheme!

Eventually, the toolchain needed to build the library and all its plugins overflows.

I would strongly recommend that people who write plugins for programs or libraries give serious consideration to using the programming language(s) and build system(s) of the parent software.

> I have Long QT syndrome

Man, didn’t expect to see this here today. My siblings (from another mother) all have Long QT or are carriers. Two have pacemakers. Their mother died of sudden cardiac event while sleeping which in retrospect was obviously Long QT. I live on the other side of the country and two of my sisters are visiting now and I just read them your comment. One (with a pacemaker, the second to have seizures as a teen) had very much the same experiences as you, with confused cardiologists changing their diagnoses. Back then, it was a miracle they got a diagnosis at all because we happened to live close to a very important cardiology centre.

Anyways, not entirely sure why I am posting this other than to say we experienced a very similar thing and it is quite scary and I am sorry you are going through it. It’s awful, but thankfully manageable with beta blockers or pacemakers. It could be worse, but it’s pretty traumatic. Hope you and your daughter stay ok :-)
