~~"obviously"? Why?~~ aha! see edit 2

That pronunciation had temporarily escaped me. I was trying to decide between a voiced postalveolar affricate d͡ʒ (hard) or voiced palatal approximant j (soft).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_postalveolar_affricate

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_palatal_approximant

Edit: "hard" and "soft" seemed like the most logical way to describe what I thought was a dichotomy, particularly as it's also often used to distinguish between the voicings of "c" and "g".

Edit 2: Just read the whole FAQ (rather than searching for "pronunciation" or related terms), and noticed the "Where does the name come from?" entry, which mentions the Mexican origin, which is why "x" is "obviously" correct.
You’re over analyzing the movie. It’s not nearly as profound or well thought out as you imply.

The sequel trilogy folks even admitted that they winged it and didn’t consult each other, on purpose. Resulting in a conflicted mess.

The direct take is that the epitome of hope character—who never gave up on anyone—is changed to an angry milk-drinking murderer who’s main plot point is giving up on family. In the most condescending way, at that.

The author didn’t understand or respect the character. Hamill agreed.

That you are not editing posts down to make a coherent point is perhaps a clue why you don’t appreciate ‘economy of story.’ But you should:

ADHD has helped me find success in the modern world by making me fail at things I don't find interesting. This forced me to work on what I find interesting. This is risky.

I can't experimentally verify it, but on the balance I believe I am better off with ADHD than without it. It has also caused me problems because even being slightly outside the norm has high costs in a mechanized economy that values interchangeable parts/people over novelty.

For posterity, an easy way to find the context length of a LLM hosted on Hugging Face is to look at the max_position_embeddings in the config.json, which shows the 8192 mentioned in another comment. (although in this case you need to sign the agreement first)
This is especially true since, as it comes to refund policies, businesses make it exceedingly difficult to sort through the information.

It’s not the consumers fault that the AI hallucinated a result (as they are known to do with high frequency).
Yeah I think this is the best explanation - I've used "cafeteria cards" before with RFID or NFC, so QR didn't even occur to me.
Maybe you can't determine that with certainty, but there may be statistical tools you can use to estimate the probably that some content came from one of the LLMs we know about based on their known writing styles?

Someone did something like that to identify HN authors (as in correlating similar writing styles between pseudonyms) a few years back, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755016

Or a study applying similar analysis to LLMs:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.07305

Of course, LLM output can be tweaked to evade these, just like humans can alter their writing style or handwriting to better evade detection. But it's one approach.
Another insidious thing in Next: their middleware is completely sandboxed and you can't use any standard Node functionality. It doesn't matter if you're using vercel now or not, and there's no way to disable this.

This is pretty important for things like sessions with httpOnly cookies. And it forces you make an API call to yourself to resolve.
If you have your own LLM, our feature is the most customizable. And since we don't own an LLM, we'll focus on making our Voice AI as human-like as possible.
I don't think society finds stealing cars acceptable. That's why stealing illegal, that's why they're trying to outlaw a device that makes stealing cars easier, and why this article is trying to make it illegal to have easy-to-steal cars.

… really?

I feel like for multi-line strings, I almost always use |, and only |. It takes the indented block as-is, which I feel like is going to be what you'd want … always?

I think maybe once, ever, I used > to fold some whitespace…?

I know the chomping & indent indicators exist, but I feel like I've only ever seen those in programmatically generated YAML. I have trouble envisioning a real-world use-case that is going to make me pull them out. They're a facet of the language that feels as if it exists solely for a processor that might need to emit any possible string, which | would not permit, and the inline strings might be uglier.

That said … there is a post like yours in every YAML thread. But I think those of us that understand YAML … I'm having a hard time grokking what you're doing that causes consternation.

Did you read the thread you are responding to? They said they don't use the camera for this exact reason.
Ethical norms are sufficient in a homogeneous society, but the "trustless" trend has enabled collaboration with ever larger groups of people with reduced need for trust. I'm thinking blockchains, cryptography, the stock market, the concept of limited liability, and law itself.

Confirmed. Most (all?) "2D barcode scanners" are cameras.

It is also way cheaper to get off-the-shelf tablets with camera to embed into systems, then add extra hardware to read just barcodes.

Back around 2003 a coworker thought she left her credit card at a store (I think Target). She called them, they asked her to read the number off of the receipt, pulled up the video of her transaction, and told her she had put the card back in her wallet/purse.

I was surprised they had that level of integration and can't imagine what they've got these days.
There is no default and easy access mode. These are raw model weights and only enthusiasts and researchers will download the necessary packages to run it locally. Much more likely is that some popular fine tunes show up on hugging face for more general access.

It tends to be used for any learning disorder or mental health diagnosis that either isn't inherently harmful or isn't an overt break with reality. Most people using the term would definitely include ADHD and at least the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. Many would also include things like OCD and perhaps depression.

Another way to say it is that it is used for mental conditions which fall under the social model of disability. That is to say, they are primarily harmful due to society not accommodating them as opposed to being inherently harmful. Things like ADHD and high functioning autism are primarily problems because they don't fit into society's expectations. On the other hand, schizophrenia is much more inherently disabling.
I've always used .yaml and have never understood why someone would choose .yml. Three letter extensions haven't been a requirement since like DOS 5 and I can't imagine that many developers are both using YAML and still using FAT16 but can't afford VFAT long filename entries.

Can China make the same quality T-shirts as the US, but at a cheaper price? Then it could be considered better. For most things involving ordinary people, what matters is not what the highest possible quality thing is given no price constraints; what matters is what is economically feasible.

Because prior to this period of decay in the west, we don’t have a rich history of theft and violence going back as long as there has even been civilisation?

These “ethical expectations” have always been weak, and always been ignored to a greater or lesser extent. There’s never been a golden age that was crime-less due to societal ethics and you won’t find such a thing outside of the west either.

Good. If you use a tool that does not give the correct answers you should be held liable for the mistake. The takeaway is, you better vet your tool. If the amount of money you loses from mistakes with the tool is less than the money you saved using it then you make money, if not, you may want to reconsider that cost saving measure.
Ultra Wideband (UWB) is the solution for keyless entry and regulators should make it a requirement that new cars use it if they want to support keyless entry.

Tesla just rolled out an OTA update to support UWB. It uses Time-of-Flight (ToF) Measurement to calculate distance which is much more secure than simply using signal strength.
To do that, we'd probably need to accept one of these as a consequence:

1. all cars must be internet connected so they can pull CRLs

2. dealers and locksmiths are no longer able to replace keys, you will have to ship the car back to the manufacturer if you lose your keys.

Because there's no secure way to hand out the root cert to the thousands of organizations authorized to replace keys today.
You can do exactly that, and this is how this is defined in the built-in library

https://github.com/c3d/xl/blob/fast/src/builtins.xl#L222

How it works is what I tried to document in the document above. The trick is to have some fixed semantics on how rewrites are done, but a lot of freedom in how this is implemented. And this is far from perfect ATM.

For example, if you write "X is 2", this can be implemented as a constant, as a function returning a constant, or as a macro. However, if you write "X is seconds" in Tao3D, where "seconds" returns the current number of seconds in the clock, then it can no longer be a constant value. You still can use macro replacement (or inlining) or turn it into a function.

Pretty standard behavior for big companies. Airlines and telcos are the utter worst... you have agent A on the phone on Monday, who promises X to be done by Wednesday. Thursday, you call again, get agent B, who says he doesn't see anything, not even a call log, from you, but of course he apologizes and it will be done by Friday. (Experienced customers of telcos will know that the drama will unfold that way for months... until you're fed up and involve lawyers)

You are correct, the mail server is currently configured to only receive emails via IPv4. This setup is not uncommon as most major email providers have IPv4-only MX records (with Gmail and Yandex Mail being rare exceptions that support IPv6).

It might be a good idea to provide a different email address whose mail server explicitly requires IPv6. I'll think about it. Thanks for bringing it up.

If the camera was used for surveillance and the surveillance pictures got indexed by the gallery app, why were there only "half a dozen random photos"? One would expect something like scheduled pictures on some timer. A surveillance camera that over its lifetime took 6 blurry photos at random times does not seem like a meaningful surveillance tool, and "it actually took lots of pictures but only a handful of them accidentally wound up in the gallery" only works in a very lay understanding of technology.

I know there is a strong human impulse to paint the situation in black and white as evil megacorp versus hapless but plucky workers uncovering its scheme, but despite the workers surely being the more sympathetic side in this dispute my first instinct would be to check if, along with the exposed gallery app, the machine doesn't also have an exposed camera app somewhere, which the labor organisers could have used to take these half a dozen pictures before "exposing" them to galvanise support. Second most likely theory would be some seldom-triggered code path in the coffee machine making it snap a diagnostic picture when it detects excessive vibration, intermittent power loss or some other disturbance.
I think vocode will focus more on open source libraries, they have tons of integrations. We don’t have any integrations, we only focus on the voice AI API part and leave the LLM part to customer.
Look, I like static type systems, but not all type systems are created equal, and some(with the easiest example being Go) are downright awful for helping encode business logic, forcing you to write immense amounts of code just to work around their awful type system decisions, code that often introduces bugs because of those issues.

That sounds like a chat format misconfiguration.

This could partially be Google's fault, as they used yet another novel prompting format.

Also, for sane inference speed on H100s, you'll have to wait for architecture support from the optimized frameworks. Vanilla transformers is beyond awful even with FA2.

> One of the reasons groups like the USSR

The 'USSR' starved in the 90s after the fall of communism.

Oh this nonsense. Serious Communist China had to deal with nuclear threats from both the US and the USSR. Serious communist china tok a back water colonized nation to a nuclear power within a single generation.

> there is literally no known method to determine the correct price without mass signalling through a free market.

You have it backwards. 'Free markets' led to 'starvation'. That's why we, in the US, have farm subsidies. A form of 'price control' along with many other measures. There is no nation ( especially a major ) on earth that has a 'free market'. There was also never a time when we had 'free trade' either. I'll let you figure that one out by yourself.

Every industry, from housing to oil, has price controls on them. It's all a matter of the degree and levers used.

The same idiots who praise government subsidies to build up our own chip industry are whining about 'price controls'.

Ah yes, I completely forgot about blockchain. Trustless is a perfect example of what I’m talking about.
Bluewallet Vault makes multi-sig simple. And when co-signing a transaction, it calculates the amount to display on the screen by calculating the difference between inputs & owned outputs, and so for general transactions this means you only need to check the amount and the destination address to be sure the right amount of money is going to the right place.
Are You Richer Than You Think?
Yup, it's unclear. The current ~consensus is "general purpose frontier model + very sophisticated RAG/system architecture" for legal as an example. I'm building something here using this idea and think its 50/50 (at best) I'm on the right path. It's quite easy to build very clever sounding but often wrong insights into various legal agreements (m&a docs for example). When looking at the tokenization, the training data, decode, architecture (lots of guesses) of the big models, there are a lot of things where the knobs seem turned slightly incorrectly for the domain.

Some of the domains are so large that a specialized model might seem niche but the value prop is potentially astronomical.

That's what I'm thinking. Surveillance of the workplace... just isn't that weird? Everyone does this. There's no particular expectation of privacy in a public workplace.

I guess maybe one could argue that a breakroom should be excluded, but then that falls afoul of the analysis that sometimes people steal from vending machines and the devices need surveillance to prevent that.

I would add to the list a few questions about the evolution of cost dynamics going forward, given the advent of new sequence modeling architectures.

As we all know, Transformers are very expensive to train and run because their compute cost is quadratic in context length: O(N²).

If newer model architectures like RWKV, Mamba, and various others, which incur cost that is linear in context length, O(N), prove as successful as Transformers, the demand for compute for a query of N tokens would decline from O(N²) to O(N).

For a sequence with N = 100,000 tokens, it would mean cost dropping by a factor of 100,000×. That's not peanuts!

The implications for all market participants would be significant.
