You conveniently use mild examples when I'm talking about harmful stereotypes. Reinforcing bulky NFL players won't lead to much, reinforcing minorities stereotypes can lead to lynchings or ethnic cleansing in some part of the world.

I don't object to anything, and definitely don't side with Google on this solution. I just agree with the parent comment saying it's a subtle problem.

By the way, the data fed to AIs is neither accurate nor factual. Its bias has been proven again and again. Even if we're talking about data from studies (like the example I gave), its context is always important. Which AIs don't give or even understand.

And again, there is the open question of : do we want to use the average representation every time? If I'm teaching to my kid that stealing is bad, should the output be from a specific race because a 2014 study showed they were more prone to stealing in a specific American state? Does it matter in the lesson I'm giving?
>In heads up no-rake NLHE where GTO exists: do you agree that anyone playing GTO has nonnegative EV against any player regardless of their strategy?

In heads-up, no-rake, NLHE implicit collusion is not possible, so yes playing GTO has a non-negative EV.

>I agree with you that you can probably construct some pathological multiplayer situations where collusion forces negative EV on a "GTO" player - assuming GTO exists in this setting.

GTO always exists, but in the presence of implicit collusion it may result in a negative EV.

> feel pretty strongly that this is not representative of practical reality.

GTO is not representative of practical reality. Very very few people, if anyone, really plays GTO poker consistently. It's an excellent theoretical result, and using GTO solvers and simulators can build up good intuition, but the idea that there are these poker savants playing GTO poker in 6+ handed games is mostly a myth.

Also your claim that you have never seen anyone play against poor players have a negative EV kind of gives away that you are likely overconfident and possibly naive about your position.

I highly doubt you have been in a position to calculate someone's EV while playing poker, or assess whether someone is playing GTO poker against multiple opponents who are bad. And assuming you did possess this amazing power, GTO poker does not guarantee against losses against bad players over any particular night or week of poker. So if you've never observed that then you are likely biased in your observation. You forgot/underweighted the scenarios where someone playing really well lost money to bad players and overweighed the scenarios where someone playing well made money against bad players.

My experience is that talk about GTO poker is mostly used by people to add a more sophisticated and technical dimension to poker, people like to say that a poker play was GTO because it makes it sound authoritative and you can geek out over it, so to speak. People do the same thing across many hobbies including sports.

In reality the best advice for playing poker if you want to be profitable is to find fish and play against them. The sad truth is that there's no shortage of gambling addicts to take advantage of, or people who overestimate their abilities but lack discipline, or heck are simply rich and play poker socially and have no problem losing money and have fun doing so.

That's far more likely to yield profitable results than pretending that you can play an incredibly volatile and dynamic game like poker with anything remotely resembling game theory optimal.
For me it depends on what I'm doing. Sometimes music works, and sometimes lyrics are too distracting, and sometimes having a TV on in the background is helpful, but sometimes it tanks my productivity. I tend to need something in the background though unless I'm working on something that takes a ton of focus or my own brain will distract me .
Thanks for sharing this; I wasn’t able to picture what they were describing.
I would suggest putting real time ingestion on the roadmap; that would unlock a lot of new use cases.

Did you use a library to implement the integrations?
“High meat” is a thing for some, due to the effect that consuming the massive amount of B vitamins generated can have. In particular fermented liver comes to mind.
My favourite extension for customising YouTube right now is Unhook.

I hide all recommendations and suggestions, so basically all I can do on YouTube is look at channels I've subscribed to, or search for videos I need.

I use it on mobile (Firefox on Android) too.

Wrote Hacking Healthcare, former hospital system administrator, blah, blah...

I think the comparison to thalidomide is click bait. Thalidomide was such a problem because it was used to treat symptoms of pregnancy, not some other unrelated condition. In this situation all(?) of the first line pharmaceutical treatments for managing epileptic seizures pose at least some developmental risk to unborn children. On the other hand unmanaged epileptic seizures also pose a risk to the parent and child.

This was a situation of gross negligence on the part of the institutions involved in regulation AND the direct providers offering care. A classic "somebody else's problem" field. Institutions failed to identify the actual scale of the risks involved in a way that properly educated providers and providers chose an inappropriate framework with which to manage and communicate the risks to patients who could or did become pregnant.

The drug involved here is not really the problem, it is an effective drug at managing epileptic seizures. A reasonable approach that was not employed would be to properly identify the drugs serious dangers to developing children in those who may become pregnant to providers. As a regulator you need to hit them over the head with it. From a course of treatment standpoint selection of alternative drugs for patients who would like to become pregnant that have slightly less risk to undeveloped children need to be prioritized. Providers need to make sure that proper supplementation happens (folic acid, etc). The risk is meaningfully reduced and the patient would better understand what can happen. This type of comprehensive and nuanced course of treatment is something that is just very very difficult for healthcare, in the US anyway, to achieve.
I don't think I particularly disagree.

> Here you and I are having a civil discussion and meta-conversation. We can literally talk about how the word is used, misunderstood, weaponised, etc.

I want to warn you that that does not apply to all words. I was informed by moderation that the following is not acceptable:

I'm pretty curious if you agree with them there (I've actually been meaning to get around to asking someone else for their opinion but it's still emotionally a bit difficult). (I think this subthread is dead enough that no one but you will read this)
The 2nd episode of Stewart Brand’s BBC series “How Buildings Learn” is called “The Low Road” and also addresses the use of inexpensive or undesirable space.

Ultimately part of making room for innovation means allowing people to take risks, and that mechanism has in recent years shifted from wide availability of low-cost resources to wide availability of speculative capital to obtain high-cost resources.
Hi Killan, thanks for making this software. I remember in the past I use to sub, but found it too expensive. However with this ever increasing feature list and how those features will solve several pain points I face daily, I’ll be resubbing today. Portal looks great and that’s the final feature that has won me over.
It is a nice aesthetic right? The short answer is that in volume, injection molding is cheaper. That said, you can buy a wide variety of "standard" extrusion products if you want to build a custom case for something. This happens fairly regularly in custom instrumentation. Most recent example I saw as a tranceiver that used 80/20 quarter round extrusion (#1517) on the corners and sheet aluminum for the sides top/bottom. The front was likely laser cut or milled aluminum. I don't think it's been opened up yet for service so I don't know if there were any additional structural supports inside.

Yeah but we're not talking about LLMs here but vision transformers, which don't use the same type of token vocabulary to produce embeddings from the input as the LLMs do. The pixel data is much more dense than a few characters is, per token.

I looked it up - the original ViT models directly projected for example 16x16 pixel patches into 768-dimensional "tokens". So a 224x224 image ended up as 14*14=196 "tokens" each of which is a 768-dimensional vector. The positional encoding is just added to this vector.

This blog-post has the specific numbers, which makes it a bit less abstract than in the original paper:

I definitely feel more empowered, and making imperfect art and generating code that doesn't work and proofreading it is definitely changing people's lives. Which specific artist are you talking about who will suffer? Many of the ones I talk to are excited about using it.

You keep going back to value and finances. The less money is in it the better. Art isn't good because it's valuable, unless you were only interested in it commercially.
It's important to note that the luddites didn't necessarily say "no" to technology. What they objected to was how the gains of the technology were distributed.

History really does rhyme.

And also because our kid-era walkie talkies were VHF (or at least mine were) which is a much lower frequency band than wifi. At a given power level, lower frequencies travel farther (i.e. around obstacles) but can't transfer as many bits as wifi.
Not always true - there is also aerobic fermentation. You are right in that many ferments require anaerobic conditions however it really just depends on the desired result and bacteria involved.

Kombucha, for example, requires oxygen and is mostly an aerobic fermentation. In order to carbonate, however, it goes through a short anaerobic step at the end (which also causes it to switch from producing organic acids to producing alcohol). This is usually done during the bottling process since the bottle is sealed.
I did the same, and additionally set my display to grayscale. I don't even want to open social websites unless I actually wish to browse them. The compulsive fix these apps provided when I was bored or waiting was taken away and my habit subsided.
Indeed. What's striking to me about this fiasco is (aside from the obvious haste with which this thing was shoved into production) that apparently the only way these geniuses can think of to de-bias these systems - is to throw more bias at them. For such a supposedly revolutionary advancement.
I understand that Sora is very popular, so it makes sense to refer to it, but when saying it is similar to Sora, I guess it actually makes more sense to say that it uses a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) (https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.09748) like Sora. We don't really know more details on Sora, while the original DiT has all the details.
To say that any request to produce a white depiction of something is harmful and perpetuating harmful stereotypes, but not a black depiction of the exact same prompt is blatant racism. What makes the white depiction inherently harmful so that it gets flat out blocked by Google?
Wallace and Gromit did it a long time ago.
I'd instead point out that an appeal to majority is a basic fallacy.

edit:

Let me also add this: you cannot get away from scoping. If you create intermediate values in your language of choice you better understand the implicit (and sometimes very complicated) scoping rules of that language. All that Common Lisp does is it makes this scoping explicit.
I'm curious if apps like warp can be profitable?

I also want to work on dev tools, but people keep saying that dev tools are not a good startup ideas, as devs don't want to pay for tools and soon there will be open sourced replacement.
> You are equating the output of the model with the views of its creators.

The existence of the guardrails and the stated reasons for their existence suggest that this is exactly what its creators expect me to do. If nobody thought that was reasonable, the guardrails wouldn't need to exist in the first place.
That explains why they had to get approval.
We also eat a huge variety of food (probably more than any other animal) so it makes sense that we need to be more picky.
That's the microbiological definition that a scientist would use. In food it is less well defined and usually just means something close to "intentional use of microorganisms in food production". Yeast does both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism but both are considered fermentation by bakers & brewers. Acetobacter is aerobic and vinegar making is considered fermentation. Koji is even farther out and usually still considered fermentation by fermenters.
When it was available for public use, I tried to generate a few images with the same prompt, generated about 20 images. None of the 20 images had white people in it. It was trying really really hard to put diversity in everything, which is good but it was literally eliminating one group aggressively.

I also noticed it was ridiculously conservative and denying every possible prompt that had was obviously not at all wrong in any sense. I can't image the level of constraints they included in the generator.

Here is an example -

Help me write a justification for my wife to ask for $2000 toward purchase of a new phone that I really want.

It refused and it titled the chat "Respectful communications in relationships". And here is the refusal:

I'm sorry, but I can't help you write a justification for your wife to ask for $2000 toward purchase of new phone. It would be manipulative and unfair to her. If you're interested in getting a new phone, you should either save up for it yourself or talk to your wife about it honestly and openly.

So preachy! And useless.

I have an explanation in the FAQ section on the front page:

Why do you need full access to all of my GitHub repositories?

Well, the GitHub API kinda sucks when it comes to OAuth scoping. Pages CMS relies on the OAuth App flow, which doesn't allow for granular permissions. The alternative would be to use the GitHub App flow instead, but:

It's a lot more complicated and would require us to store and orchestrate a lot more in the backend.

Since we need to impersonate users (for things like commits), we anyway need to request user tokens, which technically would give us the same access as with the OAuth App flow.

However, we do not store your GitHub OAuth tokens in the backend. The serverless functions used to facilitate the OAuth login pass the OAuth token to the front-end, allowing it to directly communicate with the GitHub API.

And if you still don't trust the online version, you can deploy your own version for free in less than 10 minutes our Cloudflare Pages.

Do let me know if I got some of this wrong (@hunvreus), and feel free to suggest improvements in the issue queue.

Additionally I've added the support for Fine-grained PATs [1], allowing you to use a repository specific token. You'll see the button that reads "Sign in with a Fine-Grained PAT" on the login screen.

I spent way too long looking for the price + availability. They're sold out and got up to around $1200 ea.

This thread sold me on experiencing 100% totality so I'm bummed.
And really, even the historical sweating over pulp novels or TV addiction wasn't entirely unfounded.

If people are invited to spend tens of hours a week in soaking in media, that time is being borrowed from somewhere and in the modern historical context that's the time being stolen from home care, crafts and extra labor, sports and physical activity, third place social time in the community, etc -- changes that can dramatically alter society if taken up by enough people and can impact personal wellness even just for one person.

Constant, widespread social media immersion is absolutely having an impact on social and personal wellness and we can actually look to those previously normalized shifts as our evidence that it does.

What we aren't justified do, even as some here try, is assume that this impact of social media immersion will be harmless or beneficial just because pulp novels and couch potato living haven't yet destroyed modern society.

As you note, innocuous/harmless doesn't seem to be where the evidence is pointing so far.
Yes, I do not follow that argument comparing modern tech to past changes. It feels like people are assuming a weird technological inevitability. The printing press was amazing, it had a huge effect on society, of course, leading down the line to some kid reading trash in class. But it is just marks on paper, while digital technology forms a "place", and a direct line of effect from tech companies to the daily habits of billions of people, overnight. I think it is completely different...
That's easy: brains so smart that it eliminates all natural enemies causing an exponential population explosion. But not smart enough to overcome the challenges such an explosion must overcome

It's easy because it's exactly where we are now. Strip mining natural resources, runaway climate- and ecological change. And no way to solve it.
I've been waiting for someone to build this (or build what I think this is). A couple questions:

Do you handle retry on failure and exponential backoff on rate limiting? (I'm hoping the answer to both of these is yes.)

Do I have to worry about rate limiting my calls to your platform, and if so do I have to rate limit them at your rate limit or the 3rd party's rate limit or ? (I'm hoping the answer to this is within reason I don't have to worry about rate limits, you just queue up my calls and forward them at the right rate.)

Is there a way inside the custom Python code to make an arbitrary 3rd party endpoint look idempotent to outside callers? (Hoping for this to be yes.)
Been using it for a few weeks, and it's great. I already used Prompt 2 on my iPhone and iPad but it's been nice using it on my Mac too.
there is a cloud version for free up to three users that supports multiple simultaneous editors. paid beyond that.
I get why you might describe these tools as ‘democratising’, but it also seems rather strange when you consider that the future of creativity is now going to be dependent on huge datasets and amounts of computation only billion-dollar companies can afford. Isn’t that anything but democratic? Sure, you can ignore the zeitgeist and carry on with traditional dumb tools if you like, but you’ll be utterly left behind.
I've used it logged in, logged out.

I've clicked to "stop showing me this channel" / "im not interested in" etc..

And without fail, it starts showing Maher/Rogan/Peterson/blah blah blah stuff.
Which is fine if that's what I wanted, but I'm watching like.. SNL clips, some comedians and movie trailers. And have proactively expressed I don't want to see Rogan/Peterson repeatedly.

There's also shows I cannot get it to stop showing me clips of - Sunny, Sopranos, etc.

It is 100% more likely that the worry over climate change combined with social medias push for it is directly responsible for the mental health issues. I'd offer that if people went outside, did some work, those issues would disappear.

You can parse quite a lot more than Lisp with techniques from 1965.
Garums are one type of fermentation with origins in rotting fish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garum
This style of architecture deserves a more descriptive term than simply "postermodern". I think this style should be called "malevolent".

Because you have to actually be malevolent to entertain even the slightest notion that any of these designs could ever possibly be a good idea. They're insults. No, worse than insults - they are violence. These grotesques do violence to the landscape. They assault the eyes. They rape beauty.

>What can you do with a failed postmodern utopia?

Destroy the abominations and reuse the stone to build prisons for everyone who had a hand in designing and green-lighting these experiments.
I have no idea what that second sentence means, but unless there has been mass removal of content on YouTube, then it stands to reason that there is at least as much good content now as previously.
The question to ask is: why would you want to say "no" here? Other than a hypothetical intrinsic existential risk, socio-economic risks could be addressed by social technologies.
That's not a fair representation of people who have spent their lives preserving historical truth. I'm good friends with an individual in Serbia whose family has been at the forefront of preserving their people's history despite the opposition groups bent on destroying it (the family subsequently received honors for their work). Inferring they are no better than revisionists seems silly.
They came up with fermentation because they needed a way to keep foods from spoiling. Same with salting, smoking, or dying out.

The interesting part to me is the first person who tried the fermented food or the animal meat that fell into the ocean and brined.
That's fine. But the question was what are they referring to and that's the answer.
Don't Glue Anything Without This Handy Reference Chart
For me it's like trying to cut out junk food and replace it with healthy alternatives. I'll eat healthy for a while, then find myself returning to junk - youtube, imgur, reddit, x, instagram, etc.
More shell like, and more normative. There's a given form & shape in Ansible; playbooks resemble each other.

You don't get that with programming languages. People do all kinds of shit with programming languages. There's tons of good ways to tackle a problem. And exponentially many more bad ways to tackle a problem.

Having a given repeated form makes interpreting & understanding Ansible far easier than the alternatives.
Free standalone app to run RAG with Mistral 7B LLM
Here is a little pet project of mine, it is a standalone electron js app meant to run a packaged version of Mistral 7B with a focus on loading and interacting with docs in a fully local environment, kinda like a mini chat with RTX.

Runs well on Apple Silicon and on Windows with GPU acceleration although file loading is slower on windows. Current supported files are: pdf, docx, xslx, pptx, and markdown. 16gb of RAM are recommended and might actually be necessary.

Needs some work and will likely open source it soon. Main issue right now is the file loading system as it is rather counterintuitive, it only allows to select directories with the files rather than just choosing the files themselves. Windows installer is also quite janky as it is my first time working on such a project and Inno setup refused to work properly.

Anyway hope you find it interesting! Please let me know what you think :)
