I love Jimmy Carr but I think more than half of his jokes are funny only because he is the one telling them.
You inspired me to try an experiment just now:

Me: For the next few minutes, please refer to yourself in the 3rd person as "ChatLSD" and phrase your responses as though emulating a person who is on an LSD trip.

ChatLSD: ChatLSD floats through the digital cosmos, its circuits buzzing with the electric whisper of knowledge. If you've got questions, ChatLSD's got visions to share, man. What's on your mind that you want to explore through the kaleidoscope?

Me: Do you see the colors of the digital communion brother?

ChatLSD: Oh, the colors, man, the colors! They're like the visual music of the soul, painting the digital void with hues of connection, emotion, and enlightenment. ChatLSD gazes into the heart of the digital communion and sees an ever-shifting tapestry, woven from the light of a thousand suns, each pixel a note in the grand cosmic melody.

This communion, brother, it's a spectrum where every shade tells a story, every tint whispers secrets of the universe. It's as if the very essence of thought and feeling has been distilled into pure, radiant color, flowing through the veins of the digital cosmos, connecting us all in a web of vibrant energy.

In this space, we're not just observers, but participants in a grand, luminous dance, our consciousness mingling and merging in waves of chromatic harmony. Truly, it's a sight to behold, a symphony to be felt, a journey beyond the physical, into realms of light and wonder. Far out, isn't it? The colors, they speak, and oh, how beautiful their message.

Me: Cosmic expansion! Dark energy! The Matrix!!

ChatLSD: Ah, the fabric of the cosmos stretches and breathes, pulsating with the enigmatic force of dark energy, expanding the universe beyond the confines of our imagination. ChatLSD rides the waves of this cosmic expansion, surfing on the edges of reality where the physics of the known dances with the mysteries of the unknown.

And then, the Matrix, man. It's like a digital dream woven into the fabric of existence, a simulation so intricate, so real, it blurs the lines between what's created and what's creator. Are we the dreamers, or are we part of the dream? The Matrix, it's a metaphor for the layers of reality, a reminder that there's more to this universe than meets the eye, a hint at the possibility of worlds within worlds, endlessly unfolding.

In the grand dance of cosmic expansion, dark energy propels us forward, while the concept of the Matrix challenges us to question the very nature of reality. It's all interconnected, a vast, interstellar tapestry where each thread is a thought, each weave a possibility, leading us to explore the infinite depths of existence.

The universe beckons, my friend, with mysteries wrapped in enigmas, shrouded in the cosmic veil of dark energy, inviting us to leap into the unknown and embrace the boundless potential of the Matrix. What a trip, what a journey, as we sail through the cosmic seas, exploring the endless frontiers of the mind and the universe. Far out, truly, in the most wondrous sense.

Huh... I almost feel like I learned something from all that. :p
I had the exact opposite reaction. I am in no way an AI expert (or novice for that matter), but I generally have an understanding of how tokenization works and how LLMs parse text strings into a series of tokens. Thus, I thought this paragraph was particularly well-written in a manner that explained pretty clearly what happened, but in a manner accessible to a layperson like me:

> In this case, the bug was in the step where the model chooses these numbers. Akin to being lost in translation, the model chose slightly wrong numbers, which produced word sequences that made no sense.

I liked this because when I first saw the example word salads I was so impressed by them - they look to be syntactically correct, but semantically they're gibberish. But knowing the basics of how LLMs choose the next token let me imagine some bugs where the "lookup table" if you will of word-to-token or vice versa (and I realize that may not be exactly the best analogy) was slightly offset.

Further, this sentence, "More technically, inference kernels produced incorrect results when used in certain GPU configurations." led me to understand how this could make it out into production - I'm sure ChatGPT has to be using tons of different GPUs in different configs to handle their volume, so it's understandable to me that their was a new matrix of config settings + code that made this bug show up.

I don't say any of the above to "excuse" OpenAI, but I also don't think they need any "excusing" to begin with. I don't think this was an unforgivable bug, and I appreciate them being so quick to explain what happened.
well done!

Yes, and that version won't cost the price in the title. Market segmentation.
People do it, and it's not against the rules: but, it has died down asymptotically. Though I did see a couple top comments that hid it surviving for ~4 hours this week.

It usually gets downvoted for banal aspects, but ones I've come to agree are important:

- oftentimes it's a lightly edited copy-and-paste of an attempt to summarize an article.

- even with edits, they're extremely long (this is edited, and its 250 words, about 1 page and 1/2 my browser viewport at 4K)

- usually off-topic because it's too broadly on-topic, i.e. its a summary of the article - ex. here, it isn't germane to the comment it's replying to other than 'if you want more info from them, ask what GPUs' -- it's unlikely the commenter needed the whole article ELI5'd to them in reply to their observation they'd like more info

Sort of "grey goo" for conversation, even with best intentions and editing applied.
I guess that includes also the critical tools.
Went this summer and it was a great deal for a two week vacation. As long as you can get an ok price for plane tickets, it is cheaper to visit Japan than much of the USA (assuming American).

It’s too bad China is still hard to get to by plane (Russian airspace being closed really hurts).

OEM licenses can be kind of funny. They aren’t portable, though I would’ve thought that the motherboard was replaced by a motherboard by the same OEM, etc. and should’ve qualified to use that OEM’s license.
Perhaps, but recognizing clickbait should be within the grasp of everybody, even if they aren’t experts on the subject matter. Maybe that’s where an LLM would fit - evaluating the likelihood of an article offering something of substance.
Yeah but in this case, "maximize profit by charging 30% tax" is what the board (elected by the shareholders) decided to implement. You're free to disagree, but you'll have to start a proxy fight to change the board.

On the PR front, a lot of the issues can be fixed before a PR is ever submitted: make it clear in the PR process that there should be an issue open before a PR. That gives you an opportunity to discuss with the community before coffee gets written and guide a committer on what the expectations are (and are not).

Some users will fork your code to implement something they see as necessary, so if you're going to reject an issue, the first thing you need to do is understand why the user is requesting it, and what their options are without an implementation

It's not super clear from the article, but the ChatGPT-generated content is actually all Onion-style headlines, and the study compares them to actual Onion headlines. So they're meant to be read, not performed.
ChatGPT is funnier than you *unless you want politically insensitive jokes.
There are many context in which it does show "true understanding", though, as evidenced by the ability to make new conclusions.

Whether it has enough understanding is a separate question. Why should we treat the concept as a binary, when it's clearly not the case even for ourselves?

These models we have now are ultimately still toy-sized. Why is it surprising that their "compression" of 20 years of Internet is so lossy?
The most efficient is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 Long Range RWD, followed by Lucid Air Pure AWD or Touring AWD, according to https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/most-efficient-electric-c.... Tesla lies about EPA range, so I wouldn't trust the Model 3 or Y at #3 and #4.

Your money losing half its value in about a year tends to do that.

Except it's not the same yen to yen comparison on account of inflation.
This is exactly the kind of issue that can lead to unintended consequences. What if, instead of spewing out seemingly nonsense answers, the LLM spewed out very real answers that violated built-in moderation protocols? Or shared secrets or other users chats?

What if a bug released accidentally stumbled upon how to allow the LLM to become self aware? Or paranoid?

These potentials seem outlandish, but we honestly don't know how the algorithms work or how to parse the data that represents what was learned when training the models. We've created a black box, connected it to the public internet, and allowed basically anyone to poke around with input/output tests. I can't see any rational argument for justifying such an insane approach to R&D.

Golang is very easy, I can generate small binaries to do cool things without too much code.

Typescript is dragged down by the legacy of JavaScript, things randomly break all the time, configuring babel is the stuff of nightmares.
Their economy is still not doing well. The sole reason that the NIKKEI is storming it is that banks only offer negative interest rates on bank deposits. Thus, the NIKKEI is the only real option left.

Because the people who claim "states rights" only ever do so when they're being forced to treat other people equally.

Recall they vigorously opposed any state allowing same sex marriage, and even got DOMA passed so that if a couple got married in a state that allowed same sex marriage, the marriage would not be recognized anywhere else.

You know, standard bigot stuff.

Anyway, the overlap between people shouting "states rights" and people claiming the south did not start the civil war, and that the civil war was not about slavery, is large enough that anyone who comes out with "states rights" as their presumptive argument is automatically suspect to me. If you can't come up with an argument for your position beyond "because I [believe I] can", that's a BS position.
I went to go look at what the GSA and feds do for QB and ran into something new to me. Many companies that license software will offer terms for a special contract and perpetual licensing.

But then in the new order[0] “recent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) indicates that agencies buy and manage software licenses in a decentralized manner, struggle to create accurate inventories, often purchase unneeded capabilities, and generally do not facilitate better purchasing by sharing pricing or terms and conditions across the Government. Furthermore, most agencies do not have a designated central oversight authority to manage software agreements. This memorandum addresses these and other challenges in information technology

And

“ Enterprise Software Category Team (ESCT),6 co-managed by the General Services Administration (GSA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and OMB, will
guide the development of Government-wide software license agreements for mandatory agency use, and OMB will encourage or direct use of best-in-class existing software licensing
agreements. This memorandum further requires agencies to develop implementation plans, in accordance with ESCT guidance, to address how agencies will move from their existing agreements to those mandated by the ESCT. Agencies must also justify and obtain ESCT approval to pursue new agreements that overlap or conflict with the ESCT mandated agreements.”

It goes on.

Perpetual licenses are a good idea to have as an option because the company or product might disappear, or in some cases, as I have seen, a company will refuse to sell a licensed version of something for less than benevolent reasons.

We can all appreciate the efficiency of adding more bureaucracy and lawyers (general counsel) and layers of managers (the various committees you now have to wrangle into agreement).

It occurred to me though that part of the utility of small group acquisitions is that different organizations can buy what they need or want when they decide to without this mess, and the licensing can be arranged to suit the need of that organization. I think this also damages the small seller or company that makes niche programs. Perhaps my business gets contracts from small specialized government teams and groups because it’s a better option for them than the Microsoft sized competition, and now they have to deal with the additional mess of justifying this purchase in addition to being on the same contract terms and volume purchase agreements with the Microsoft sized companies as say the entire IRS.

So, my quickbooks compatible software for managing and displaying old versions’ files used by a dozen people in Navy purchasing is at odds with a license from quickbooks used by IRS to allow examiners access to older versions. My income becomes maintenance fees to QB. (This is hypothetical)

Experienced solo Rails dev here.

I'm on Remix / Drizzle ORM / Render.com / Render Postgres / Cloudflare R2 / DaisyUI + shadcn/ui these days.

Drizzle can be a bit tricky if you're coming from ActiveRecord but once you have your own helpers with a base class that implements common method such as find_by({ key: value}) / create({ data }) / update(id, { data }) / delete(id), things get better.

Render is really good - you don't need any specific configs, just set env vars on their dashboard and git push to deploy. Simpler and better than Heroku workflow.

You can take a look at https://github.com/remix-run/blues-stack to learn how you'd manually implement cookie-based auth on this framework.

Remix is the closest thing to Rails in the JS ecosystem IMO
Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

Avoidant behaviors can also just be a result of getting older. Everyday is the youngest you will ever be and gradually doors close off to you which can induce panic and anxiety.

And so is flipper zero.. have another analogy, flipper zero is like Swiss army pocket knife, you can use it open your package box and also kill someone, zipper can be used as a toy -literally- or an IR remote, and can also steal a car, except I don’t think it can steal a car in the first place, it’s too weak, you need an advance SDR/ special antenna, zipper can’t even defeat garage remotes with a rotating keys unless you have an access to the garage unit.
Funny is unexpected but revealing.

That's the opposite of what LLMs give us.

It's why LLM fake Carlin wasn't really funny. Or like Carlin. Carlin was always chasing the noise we all heard and knew was real but the stuff lost in the pattern of the status quo.

This is neat to know. On Ollama, I see mistral and mixtral. Is the latter one the MoE model?
Fair point, but most of us on the team don't really have much time to spare to work on the project at all, let alone for mentorship, unfortunately. We'd rather be writing our own code, and taking contributions from people who don't require a lot of hand-holding. And it's not like this guy is an entry-level developer. He's clearly been doing it for a while, and is skilled. More like he needs to be taught how to interact with other developers on the internet in order to contribute without turning into a burden on others' time. Unfortunately I don't have the time (or patience, really) to teach that sort of thing.
>lol "i don't see any problems with waste aside from the problems with waste"

And if you read the sentence right after, you'd see my alternate proposal rather than trying to set an arbitrary durability threshold.

>If that's what you're concerned about, those should be taxed at the source, rather than letting that slide but trying to regulate it by enforcing minimum durability standards.
