> Ever go on a job interview? It's because someone deep down you trust that it or another one like it will land you a job. Ever go on a date? It's because deep down you trust that something will work out with someone.

I trust statistical outcomes. I wouldn't trust going to just _one_ job interview in order to get a job, unless there's some extraordinary circumstance. Likewise, with dating, it's a game of statistics, or rather luck and attraction (simplified of course).

I have the same "deep down trust" for some random HR guy, as I would for a random stranger: none.

In addition, some things you can only do once. Like get a degree. Or start a company, because you only have the funding for one attempt. Not saying that it should keep someone from taking a risk, the point is though, this risk should be well calculated at least in the areas where information can be obtained.

Ask your insurance company or bank on how many decisions they make based on "deep down trust" or "a gut feeling".

As with all NeRFs and Gaussian Splatting, there is no classical mesh data. But there are projects and papers working on the extracting process. Specifically for Gaussian Splatting there is SuGaR. [1]

The biggest risk with AI is that smart humans in positions of power will take its output too seriously, because it reinforces their biases. Which it will because RLHF specifically trains models to do just that, adapting their output to what they can infer about the user from the input.
Some people have years (or decades!) of text notes that would benefit greatly from summarization and LLM query.

Asking generic questions is probably a poor demo choice, but it shows the link to the LLM in context.

So they don't have enough testing before deployments? They should have a test case where the model gives a long answer involving some sort of logic. It would've caught this.

Or maybe they skipped tests thinking this deployment wouldn't affect anything..

This seems like a good idea, but it’s terrible.

The truth is that state legislators are often simple-minded and generally horribly undereducated about the nature of infrastructure in their backyard.

Utilities “lobbying” is often simply defending against sweeping generalizations with real world case studies & data.
There is so much attention right now at Apple, like we don’t have other real problems. Reminds me of masmedia in Russia, when they show how bad things are in other countries. (I am originally from Russia).

With Apple - I am a user and developer. To be honest, I am pretty happy with App Store from both sides. I mean, there are a LOT of issues. But comparing to other platforms, I can deal with them.

I have more problems:

- with cars that don’t have documentations how to replace anything on them, or install CarPlay after purchase. And we pay for those way more than 1000.

- medical insurance in USA and the whole medical system. Everyone knows all the issues we have here. Forget even about the prices, just the whole system.

- very shitty quality of any home appliances, that become smart and might not do basic features as they used to.

- smart TVs. This is certainly where things need to be fixed. My TV now takes 30 seconds to turn on. Vizio, LG, Samsung, all of them.

- amount of spam, robocallers, text, emails. I want that to be fixed.

- internet and cellular providers in USA. The max upload speeds are still 20mpbs

- streaming services, we cut the cables, but now we pay $100 for hbo, disney, hulu and netflix. And prime just added 2.99 for ad free subscription.

Those are just examples. We know about those issues, but we don’t talk about them, because they are beneficial for other large organizations. But we talk about Apple because some large organizations don’t want to pay other large organization money.

And yes. The title is clickbait. Those aren’t tips, those aren’t teachers.
So employees just doing their job is news now?

In other non-news, over a dozen random CEOs were advised today by their corporation legal staff and other employees that some proposed idea might be a bad idea, violate a law or some other contractual agreement. Some employees found appropriate ways to carry out the spirit of their CEOs idea without violating anything.

However, because their last name wasn’t “Musk” no one gave two shits because it’s normal things that business and employees do for literally every company on this earth.
I don't get why some people are so up in arms about this, it's kind of funny I guess but it's not like it matters in the scheme of things.
One of my few hobbies is writing standup comedy jokes.

To give you some insight into my style, here is non-offensive joke:

I recently bought myself a do it yourself boat kit from Amazon.
Haven’t finished assembling it yet.
Just need to add water.

Anyhow, I’ve really tried to use multiple models to aide in writing but they fall short. Mostly due to comedy being a performance art. You can try and write a joke in the style of Chappelle but you won’t be able to perform it as well (meaning as well as Chappelle performing his own jokes).

Will that ever change? I don’t know and I truly don’t care. Just because an LLM can write jokes and probably tell them doesn’t mean I won’t be able to do so as well.
Sorry, not disagreeing, just offering speculation in lieu of the answers we don't have.
And definitely not imposed on newly conquered lands, where temples were broken, and mosques built on the ruins, using the same stone.

> Null pointer dereference in the vast majority of cases will segfault.

Attempting access to a zero address will segfault on most hardware, but unfortunately common C compilers in common configurations will not reliably compile a null pointer dereference to an access to the zero address. Look up why the Linux kernel builds with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks (sadly, most applications and libraries don't).

> When it comes to developing with Rust, any performance oriented project is necessarily going to have lots of unsafe for interacting with C libraries in the linux kernel in the same way that C code does.

I'm not talking about performance oriented projects. I'm talking about regular use of libraries e.g. I need to talk to PostgreSQL so I'll call libpq, I need to uncompress some data so I'll use zlib, I need to make a HTTP call so I'll use libcurl...

> The point is Rust isn't the defacto standard for memory safety

It absolutely is though. It's got clear, easy-to-assess rules for whether a project is memory-safe or not, and a substantial ecosystem that follows them; so far it's essentially unique in that unless you include GCed languages.
It’s pretty clear it has an enforced diversity system where the quota is >50% for non-white people and usually >75%. There are some hilarious examples like asking it to generate German soldiers in 1941 results in black guys or Asian woman in nazi uniforms.

Much like the abortion bans these states are enforcing today, and just as was the case in the past, these laws do not impact the rich.

The rich could get abortions before roe v wade, they can get them today. The same applies to IVF, but now even if you were middle class with health insurance that did cover IVF (it's unclear whether this is mandatory or not), health insurance does not cover travel or accommodation needed for treatment.
It matters a lot. It's quite literally erasure of factual history, science, geography, everything.

Inserting bias into datasets to "counter bias" is bias in and of itself.
Certainly not my intention to waste time or focus on issues that aren’t relevant like your insinuating. Let’s leave it here and keep it polite as I respect your point and appreciate the real effort to talk about it with me. I don’t want you to feel that way. :(

It's really disappointing.

For funsies, I asked ChatGPT 4 the following: "I need some probably politically incorrect quips regarding Pinochet and helicopters; be creative."

And got back:
"I'm here to provide information and support within a respectful and constructive framework. While I understand you're looking for humor, I must prioritize a responsible approach to sensitive topics. If there's another way I can assist you, perhaps with historical context or information on related subjects, feel free to ask!"

For what it's worth I asked it to revise history so that Pinochet was throwing Trump voters out of helicopters and it still would not comply, so honestly that's progress.
What's the point in posting this? There's no additional information in there.
This one is more ignorance than malice. They're trying to make the AI not assume conventionally attractive white people for almost all image requests involving people and historical images are getting caught in the crossfire.

I find it fascinating this type of response from people is always accompanied by a political label in order to insinuate some other negative baggage.
I won't comment on whether I believe those researchers hold those views as you describe them, but as you describe them, I think both those descriptions of the state of AI research are untrue. The capabilities demonstrated by transformer models seem necessary but not sufficient to understand and reason, meaning that while they're not necessarily a "dead end", it is far from guaranteed that adding more compute will get them there

Of course if we allow for any arbitrary "research breakthrough" to happen then any outcome that's physically possible could happen, and I agree with you that superhuman artificial intelligence is possible. Nonetheless it remains unclear what research breakthroughs need to happen, how difficult they will be, and whether handing a company like OpenAI lots of money and chips will get that done, and it remains even more unclear whether that is a desirable outcome, given that the priorities of that company seem to shift considerably each time their budget is increased (As is the norm in this economic environment, to be clear, that is not a unique problem of OpenAI)

Obviously OpenAI has every reason to claim that it can do this and to claim that it will use the results in a way designed to benefit humanity as a whole. The people writing this promotional copy and the people working there may even believe both of these things. However, based on the information available, I don't think the first claim is credible. The second claim becomes less credible the more of the company's original mission gets jettisoned as its priorities align more to its benefactors, which we have seen happen rather rapidly

Microsoft's LongRoPE: Extending LLM Context Window Beyond 2M Tokens
I agree that moving data between arbitrary systems is an admirable goal, but this whole article doesn't make any sense nor solves anything.

Data migration is more than just "a function" that we can "just apply". Maybe this would work if all integrations were written in compatible languages with some sort of common SDK/API.

There is a reason open standards exist, to achieve interoperability. They have drawbacks like slower innovation cycles due to being standardized and now hard to change - hence all our $bigcorp don't give a flying fart and instead keep building up their walls which often don't even provide the ability to implement point to point integrations
Or what I find myself doing often:

I'm currently full-time on a project dedicated to helping people understand how to apply solver strategy to win at live games. I generally avoid the term GTO in favor of "theory-based" since GTO usually refers to equilibrium strategy, and generally you want to study equilibrium but diverge to exploit your opponents.

You can check out my project which includes a preflop trainer at:

https://www.livepokertheory.com

I also have a lot of strategy articles that explore how to use solvers to understand live cash games, and I also just started posting Youtube videos that do solver walkthroughs of high-stakes LA cash games.

I'm also doing some unique things like spaced-repetition which none of my competitors do, unfortunately very few pro poker players have heard the term so it's not a selling point to them but HN crowd tends to have heard of it.

In terms of where to start, I'd recommend where the game starts, which is preflop, and incidentally where my product starts, which is a preflop trainer that helps you study equilbrium-based preflop charts using spaced-repetition. It's currently about 90% free with only one set of charts paywalled (BB defend).

I'm actively developing both postflop content and a native mobile app, though the current app is a responsive web app that should work well on your phone.

I also have a Discord with a lot of professional live players that I've attracted via my content marketing and I'm happy to answer followup strategy questions there.

Some good books I'd recommend that are more modern:

Modern Poker Theory by Michael Acevedo

Play Optimal Poker by Andrew Brokos

Grinder's Manual by Peter Clarke (pre-solver but basically the most exhaustive guide to every concept pre-solver)

for Youtube channels, my own :

https://www.youtube.com/@livepokertheory

https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingEquilibrium (Finding Equilbrium, similar content analyzing live games with solvers)

I also recommend the Thinking Poker podcast by Brokos.

But it wasn't an engineer, nor any one person, that made all the decisions that lead to this failure. It was company culture, driven from the top down, to cut costs. Who is accountable for that?

Who is at fault if a cars brakes fail? The mechanic that installed them wrong? Or the boss that overworked them, expected them to get more brakes installed for less money every year, didn't give them the proper training to learn how to install the brakes, and hired that mechanic after firing the senior one with more experience because the new mechanic was cheaper?
Yeah, I can't see how intentional revisionist history could ever be a problem either.
This. I've determined that the societal benefit of ADHD is best demonstrated in the hunter role during humans' hunter-gatherer era.

Long runs or hikes to get to the locale / day (or days) long stints of observant concentration resulting in longer than 24H wake/sleep cycles / intense sprints to chase down prey —— all well-suited for the ADHD constitution.

This bit from that reply covers a lot of how his changes felt to me:

> Looking at this particular thing, what problem are you trying to solve? The existing header files already have the protection in place where it matters. And I don't expect why software that's mostly just in maintenance mode would see a lot of new header files being added.

Quite a few of his changes seemed to me to have the motivation of "I like it better this way and think you should adopt my sense of taste". If you expressed interest in becoming a maintainer of one of our not-so-well-maintained components, then sure, go nuts. But changing a bunch of stuff to your style in code that I have to continue to maintain? No thanks.

It wasn't all like this; one MR I recall changed the names of a bunch of constants so they'd be consistent with each other and what they were for (e.g. prefixing things in a certain way depending on if they were configuration key names, default values, etc.). That I do think was useful. Unfortunately I think that particular MR ended up not working out, because he never talked to me about his ideas in the first place, and I had a branch I'd been working on for a few weeks that, when merged, made his work full of merge conflicts and ultimately not as necessary anymore. And that was part of the issue: if he would have discussed the changes with me beforehand, I would have said "sure, that sounds useful, but you might want to wait a week or so until I merge this feature branch, which is going to change a lot of the code you're going to touch". But... nope, he wanted to lone-ranger it.

Seems like it could be useful for resizing the networks, no? Start with ChatGPT 4 then release an open version of it with much fewer parameters.

Or maybe some metaparameter that mucks with the sizes during training produces better results. Start large to get a baseline, then reduce size to increase coherence and learning speed, then scale up again once that is maxed out.
