I've always been curious about teaching total beginners Lisp. If the adage is true that learning a variety of languages will round you out in the long run, then experimenting with the S-expression, functional-lite model of Lisps as a first exposure should be low or zero-cost.

And then we get to observe: If instead of modeling instructions and memory semantics, we first teach someone to model abstractions and computations, how do they think about programming differently even when eventually exposed to C and its lineage?
Sounds like my buddy who's a programmer for our social services. He said they spend about one day per week coding and the rest doing code reviews.
TFA is the exact opposite of that though? It's a single model that acts on a single representation, which is derived from (and mapped back to) different input (output) modalities.

> You just described the “rule of law”

What the article is describing is not the rule of law.

The rule of law would be: make theft a crime, and enforce that. Not: criminalize the use of security research tools to show which vehicles are more susceptible to theft.

> What you seem to want is for civil law to be subordinated in favor of common law

I think what the GP poster wants is to have the law limited to criminalizing things that are actual crimes, like theft, not things that are inconvenient to the rich and powerful.

The funny part is that the real answer is: Some random French company is running circles around them all.

I mean who the hell just drops a torrent magnet link onto twitter for the best state of the art LLM base model for its size class, and with a completely open license. No corporate grandstanding, no benchmark overpromises, no theatrics. That was unfathomably based of Mistral.
Wait, you actually care about the license and read it?

It's seems like you aren't up to date.

Most of the startup space is entirely ignoring all these licenses. If the weights are available, it is being used commerically without regards to any licensing.

And everyone is getting away with it and nobody is being sued.

Good luck trying to keep up if you aren't doing the same!

Feels free to hamstring yourself though if you like.

Ideally, the reactor is designed in such a way that a catastrophic failure is not possible.

Something along the lines of the salt plug in a molten salt reactor, that melts when cooling fails and dumps the liquid into a boron bath, halting fission.
I've never been to Japan, but from what I've heard there is little scope for promotion in Japan's economy for immigrants, so I don't think the openness to immigration for manual labour jobs is a plus point for Japan when most immigrants may only find work in low paying gaijin-friendly industries (translator, teacher, etc) or MNCs with offices in Japan.

But then again that impression is based solely on information found on the Internet and may be incorrect.

When I tried it with ChatGPT the model understands there is math involved, figures out the formula and spawns an API call to the code execution engine that actually performs the calculation.

Results:

To determine who wins this race, we'll calculate the time it takes for each car to complete the race using the same formula as before: \[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]

- Car A starts from 0 km and needs to cover 160 km at a speed of 16 km/h.
- Car B starts from 75 km (due to the 75 km head start) and only needs to cover 85 km (since 160 km total distance minus the 75 km head start) at a speed of 8 km/h.

Let's calculate the time for each car.

Car A will complete the race in 10 hours, while Car B will take 10.625 hours to finish. Therefore, Car A wins the race.
Thanks for trying that out! Retell focuses on making the AI sound like human, it is developers' LLM responsibility to make it think smart. The therapist in the dashboard is for demo purpose only and ideally some developers will plug in their great AI therapist LLM to make it more human-like :)
Getting to the material is mechanically difficult. It's also the type of problem that neatly solves itself.

A fuel rod toting terrorist is a dead terrorist.

> The acceptance criteria in DSRS Section 12.3–12.4 state that accessible portions of the facility that are capable of having radiation levels greater than 1 Gy/h (100 rads/h) should be shielded and clearly marked with a sign stating that potentially lethal radiation fields are possible. DCA Part 2, Tier 2, Revision 3, identifies a number of areas (e.g., resin demineralizers, filters, SRSTs) that may contain quantities of radioactive material resulting in radiation dose rates exceeding 100 rads/h (1 Gy/h).

Now what I'm about to say changes with the fuel being used, but from LLNL's report,

> Even for fuel that has cooled for 15 years, a lethal dose (LD50) of 450 rem can be received at 1m from the fuel assembly after several minutes.

https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/10137382

Good luck trying to carry that stuff out. They'll be the walking dead in a few minutes. They'll be unable to walk and will be just dead in ~100 minutes. Give or take 10 to 20 minutes depending on how they're holding the item etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome#Dose_...

And no, they can't just "put it in [a] lead [box]" to run away with it, because then they'll die to bremsstrahlung radiation or braking radiation. It'll take longer, but the end result will be the same.

If it's fuel that hasn't gone into the reactor yet/hasn't undergone neutron activation, then it's not radioactive enough to be a concern unless consumed.

Terrorists are rare and they're usually not that capable. It's easier for them to buy a gun or a lorry and mow down a crowd than it is to plan a fiendishly complicated radiation heist.
Sure, maybe? But if you were gonna stack rank death machines in order of death (in the US at least) and ban them, it'd go something like:

Drugs and alcohol first (or drugs first and alcohol second if you split them apart), then pistols second, cars, knives, blunt objects, and rifles.

We tried #1 already, it didn't really work at all. Some places try #2 (pistols) to varying degrees of success or failure. Then people skip 3, 4 (well except London doesn't skip 4), 5, and try #6.

And underlying that all is 50 years of stagnating real wages, which is probably the elephant in the room.

I'd posit that using an LLM to respond to a 10 page long ranting email is missing the real underlying problem. If the situation has devolved to the point where you have to send a 10 page rant, then there's bigger issues to begin with (to be clear, probably not with the ranter, but rather likely the fact that management is asleep at the wheel).
I guess what I'd tell you is, there's a lot of fools in this world.

There are a bunch of great strongman clubs and gyms in socal- just go visit one once at first, you don’t need to be able to commit to go regularly. If you can find someone experienced to teach you in person once or twice, you can then work by yourself at home.

Sandbag training at home is great, and of course you can go to a landscaping store or just in the middle of nowhere and find a big rock or two to bring home. I have a 320lb landscaping rock in my back yard! Regular barbell training- especially front squats and deadlifts will translate to stone lifting well.

I personally train mostly at home, and have an online coach I send videos to for feedback. I then only occasionally travel to a strongman gym, because it is far away. Maybe once or twice a month.

The book Stonelifting by Martin Jancsics and Dr. Bill Crawford is also excellent and can be used to build your own program at home.

The melting pot is a way of integrating people into our country. It has been criticized as being too homogenizing; and now I think (for the better) most people see it as a nice lumpy stew. We shouldn’t ask people to give up all their traditions or change completely to become American, it is a give and take communication process that we both benefit from.

WRT toilets, I think it has been shown that squatting actually reduces the strain when using the toilet; I think those signs reflect the fact that we are integrating new toilet information. They are part of the natural back-and-forth pushing process. Hopefully we’ll converge on a toilet that is lower to the ground but doesn’t have accessibility issues.
Echoing this. Services and other types of macOS system plugins (e.g. color palette plugins) are great with how they enable app-agnostic functionality but are unfortunately underused.

Um, you do realize that the League of Nations was a failure? And that the UN, although at least it still exists (unlike the LON, which only lasted a decade or so), has not accomplished anything meaningful in terms of enforcing actual norms of behavior?
Well that's depressing. Thailand is not a country we should strive to emulate. They have their own mass incarceration problem (they rank 8th in the world), state executions, their own "war on drugs", lots of violent killings involving guns, high levels of corruption, forced disappearances, torture, extrajudicial killings, and a horrible track record for human rights. Thailand is a mess and it's tragic that so much of the US can't do any better when it comes to locking citizens behind bars.

Again, you are trying to pretend not to notice the common understanding and the use of the word, while pulling out some definition nobody cares about.

Yes, technically, Linux is a kernel project. But, most time the word is used to designate the whole operating system (which annoys people who like to be precise, but it's also clear as day how OP meant to use the word, and you swapping the meaning of the word OP used for something that's convenient to you to make a useless contrarian point is just an example of bad discussion).
how does one finetune llama (or any other LLM) using mistral?

is the flow like this?

- take small dataset

- generate bigger dataset using mistral (how this is this done?)

- run LoRA to fine tune gemma extended dataset.
Optimizing for efficiency and performance over utility is absolutely the wrong thing.
Maybe in this specific circumstance an LLM being wrong is similar to a human being wrong but it's very jarring to a user. For example, imagine if Excel got the math wrong sometimes like a human does. Throughout all of digital history computers were never wrong, they're either programmed correctly or not. I think a lot of business leaders and others hyping the generative AI technology may not fully grasp the nondeterministic nature of an LLM. I work in consulting and have been on calls with senior leadership going on and on about the miracles ($$) about to unfold. However, when I raise the point that you can never really count on the output of an llm being the same or even correct and using one to guess the parameters of an API for example is going to fail eventually with no explanation or fix and how that narrows their usefulness i get the "stop being a wet blanket" talk.
> But what about the images. The italian plumber who looks very much like SuperMario

That looks indeed like a case where any regurgitation becomes a problem in my opinion. I think the closest thing to this would be Fan-art. If I draw a picture of Mario for fun and post it online, it remains fair use as long as its not commercial or used for promoting a product (from my limited understanding). In the OpenAI case they sell subscriptions to their service. You can therefore make the case that they are selling Fan-art for profit.

This leads me to think companies that own this kind IP have a more solid case against OpenAI. It is entirely possible that New York Times loses the lawsuit but Nintendo wins if they sue.

This seems to be a longstanding bug, I have many chats with the summarization in another language.
> Teachers and doctors in the US, for example, seem to have lost a substantial degree of discretion in how ply their respective trades.

Mostly that is good. Discretion implies different results for different people and if you are on the bad end of that because you got a bad teacher/doctor that is a bad thing. Most people need the standard treatment in both education and medicine. Learning styles has been debunked in the literature, kids don't need a teacher who believes in that. Likewise most people have the same thing as everyone else - but there are a few one in a million exceptions that mean we need to go through the entire checklist before giving the regular treatment even though odds are the doctor will never see the exception. (sometimes that is give the regular treatment but see you again in 2 weeks to see if it is working which is annoying when the doctor normally says all is well)

There is a time for discretion. However that time is when you are a proper researcher looking for other treatments (under the watch of an ethics board), or when you have clearly exhausted all the normal things and they don't work (sometimes the checklist even says we don't know what to do here, try something and if it works we will adjust the checklist for next time.

The above is how flying got to be so safe. Decades of examining everything that went wrong - including near misses - and figuring out how to prevent them. Some doctors still struggle to remember to properly wash their hands by contrast.
Oh man, I'm getting echos of political philosophy and The City of God vs The City of Man. One reason I became an economist is because it explained things to me quite well.

I'm open to being wrong here, but this is symptomatic of the developers who implement the components, not the frameworks no? I'm unaware of any major framework that hijacks buttons, you very specifically have to not use the `<button>` element to not get a button.

If what you really mean is an action can still take place even though some JS wasn't loaded (e.g. web standard form submission) then I understand, but otherwise I'm not sure how frameworks are at fault for this issue
As long as the underlying representation is a sequence of (embeddings of) tokens , and the training depends on next-token prediction, they should still be called language models. The 'language' part of 'language models' is about the architecture, not the modalit(y/ies).
Fun that's not my experience of Phi-2. I use it for non-creative context, but function calling, and I find as reliable as much bigger models (no fine-tuning just constraining JSON + CoT). Phi-2 unquantized vs Mixtral Q8, Mixtral is not definitely better but much slower and RAM-hungry.

According to the internets:

Titan is 71.6 × 10^9 km^3 by volume.
Earths oceans are 1.335 × 10^9 km^3 by volume.

I've also soon a diagram comparing earths oceans to titan, and the water looks to have a diameter around the same radius as titan, which would mean a volume of 1/8th.

That would require earths oceans to have a volume of about 8.95 × 10^9 km^3, so I guess the illustrations are wrong (or from the perspective of the ocean ball being closer..).

Edit: correction, the diagram was a comparison of water per plant - the ocean ball was titans ocean, not earths..

So 12x earths ocean is 16.02 × 10^9 km^3

that's 1/4.46th the volume of Titan. I guess Titans Ocean ball is bigger than the radius..
"What is homoiconicity then?

> There is no expectation of privacy of your face when engaging in any kind of commercial transaction.

I expect to be informed that recording will be occuring given I live in a two party consent state.

There is an expectation of privacy in certain circumstances, ex law office, Drs office, and the break room (given discussing working conditions in a break room is a protected activity where recording is disallowed)

Every customer support hotline I've ever dialed prefaces the message with 'this conversation may be recorded'. Most ATMs have a video surveillance tag somewhere nearby.

Regardless, if Amazon bought commercial products with recording devices and installed them in the break room, that's ultimately Amazon's responsibility.

This is getting downvoted, but it really does feel like a variant of the wrench problem: https://xkcd.com/538/

It's already incredibly hard to get people to use secure messaging systems. Downgrading to SMS isn't necessarily wrong (it's become harder to get people to use Signal now that it's dropped support for SMS), but it's a huge hole and effectively means that many customers will never have a significant number of their conversations encrypted.

That's a boring security hole, sure. But at some point you have to think about UX as being a part of security, and a messaging system that isn't cross-platform is hard to call secure, because good luck trying to get your contacts to all use it. People get upset about this, but the reality is it does not matter what encryption scheme a messenger is using if it's impossible for you to get your contacts to use it. The same way that it does not matter how secure your 2FA system is if you can't get people to turn it on.

I felt like on net Signal's support for SMS was a boon for security more than a hindrance because it made it easier for me to get people to sign up for Signal. In contrast, Signal's take was that having a secure and insecure service bundled up into the same messenger would on average make people more lax about security and would make it harder for them to make strong security guarantees. They viewed SMS support essentially as a security vulnerability.

I do wish Signal had kept SMS and tried harder on the UX, I honestly feel somewhat strongly that removing support made secure messaging harder -- but while we can debate the security downsides and the onboarding downsides, I also have grown to kind of see their point? And iMessage falls very squarely into that problem, except with Signal I can at least tell my contacts how to get it.

I don't know, it feels petty but like... if you have secure encryption but it doesn't get turned on for a bunch of messages, then that does seem like it has a security impact. I don't think that's a complicated or controversial thing to say, it's no different from calling out that some chat services require E2EE to be opt-in instead of opt-out. Good security requires thinking about that kind of stuff.

It's the wrench problem. You're not going to get spied on by a quantum computer. You're going to get spied on because there's a decent chance that ~50% of your contacts or more aren't on iPhone and you'll be talking to them in plain text. And realistically for most users, switching to a cross-platform E2EE messenger that allows them to use one consistent service for all of their encrypted conversations is going to be meaningfully more secure even if it doesn't have quantum-resistant encryption. The most important problem for any secure messenger to solve is how to get people to use it. Sometimes that means compromising on other security standards, sometimes it means being harsher about security standards that would otherwise be optional. Sometimes it means caring about availability and onboarding, and not sending the majority of messages in an easily intercepted plain-text format.
