I went through this recently trying to heavily use yaml anchoring to determine various k/v's from a .yml config file, and yeah, it was awful.

But I think the biggest problem for me was every single yaml library I tried in various languages (go, rust, python, ruby) was just not good. IIRC only one of them (rubys syck I think) even supported anchors, which is a yaml standard, and NONE of them could read anchors to know where in the yaml file the scan was happening.

So I wound up having to literally crawl tab/indents, specify what symbol anchors where /& and store that and rebuild everything.

I THOUGHT I could just say "goto &anchor, copy &data to anchor, anchor, anchor, *anchor.." but nothing knew what &anchor was! What's the point of having a spec with &anchor if your library does literally nothing with it?

I'm sure someones dealt with this probably in a more elegant way than me.

From the article:

>> Although quantum computers with this capability don’t exist yet, extremely well-resourced attackers can already prepare for their possible arrival by taking advantage of the steep decrease in modern data storage costs. The premise is simple: such attackers can collect large amounts of today’s encrypted data and file it all away for future reference. Even though they can’t decrypt any of this data today, they can retain it until they acquire a quantum computer that can decrypt it in the future, an attack scenario known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.

Yea. Just ask it anything about historical people/cultures and it will seemingly lobotomize itself.

I asked it about early Japan and it talked about how European women used Katanas and how Native Americans rode across the grassy plains carrying traditional Japanese weapons. Pure made up nonsense that not even primitive models would get wrong. Not sure what they did to it. I asked it why it assumed Native Americans were in Japan in the 1100s and it said:

> I assumed [...] various ethnicities, including Indigenous American, due to the diversity present in Japan throughout history. However, this overlooked [...] I focused on providing diverse representations without adequately considering the specific historical context.

How am I supposed to take this seriously? Especially on topics I'm unfamiliar with?
Have there been any notable innovations in parsing since this was written?
WebUI v2.4.2 Documentation
My current view of what makes parsing so difficult is that people want to jump straight over a ton of intermediate things from parsing to execution. That is, we often know what we want to happen at the end. And we know what we are given. It is hoped that it is a trivially mechanical problem to go from one to the other.

But this ignores all sorts of other steps you can take. Targeting multiple execution environments is an obvious step. Optimization is another. Trivial local optimizations like shifts over multiplications by 2 and fusing operations to take advantage of the machine that is executing it. Less trivial full program optimizations that can propagate constants across source files.

And preemptive execution is a huge consideration, of course. Very little code runs in a way that can't be interrupted for some other code to run in the meantime. To the point that we don't even think of what this implies anymore. Despite accumulators being a very basic execution unit on most every computer. (Though, I think I'm thankful that reentrancy is the norm nowadays in functions.)

its not really a technical problem. As others have mentioned on various threads, its a people coordination problem. Its hard to socially/organizationally coordinate the efforts of 100s of engineers to a single thing. It just is. If they're split into smaller chunks and put behind relatively stable interfaces, those people can work on their own on their own thing, roughly however they want. That was a major reason behind the original bezos service mandate email. You can argue that results in a harder overall technical solution (distributed is harder than monolith) but it is inarguably to me much easier organizationally.

You can sort of get there if you have a strong central team working on monolith tooling that enforces module seperation, lints illegal coupling, manages sophisticated multi deployments per use, allows team based resource allocation and tracking, has per-module performance regression prevention, etc. They end up having many of the organizational problems of a central DBA team, but its possible. Even then, I am not aware of many(any?) monoliths in this situation that have scaled beyond 500+ engineers that people are actually happy with the situation they've ended up in.

Your argument is that because in your opinion we don't arrest enough white color criminals that we shouldn't bother with violent criminals? I don't understand how these are related? This isn't a trade or a negotiation.

I thought it was a great advertisement for Signal because Signal and their protocol is public and their software is free, open source and cross-platform.

In light of that Apple's message reads more like announcement that people who can afford iPhones will now have better security and privacy when they chat with themselves.
A "sincere desire to help" is a form of self-validation, a move to serve the socially ambitious, and a show of power, in that "helping" implies superiority.

It would be great if educators they could separate the search for truth from the search for "justice". Many can't. Fields in which facts only exist to support justice narratives probably don't belong in university at all.

Question

Them: :O
Some of the issue here is that it’s actually a pretty nice area here in Baltimore, but our police force is currently understaffed and overworked.

One big issue here regarding policing is that our city elected officials can’t tell the city police force what to do.

You see, when the civil war broke out, the state took control of the police force so that the mayor couldn’t lead a confederate coup.

Flash forward to today, and those powers still have never been returned to the city. The mayor and city council set the police budget, but the chief of police takes direction from a state run board.

So there is a big disconnect between citizens voicing concerns to city council members, and those members only ability is to “talk to the major”.

I've always been great at finding items that people lose, 'I Spy' games, stealth games, hunting, etc..

Not sure if there is any merit to it, but I find that because I do not typically fixate on one particular thing, I can easily distracted by anything/everything, thus I can spot differences rather rapidly.

Generally, goods and services are considered to be products. And their analogy to software wasn't in bad faith, software is a service (hence the term SaaS used for subscription based software, even though non subscription based software is also a service imo) and not a good.
It's not about lazy people versus diligent people, though. The companies are blaming the wolves, and arguing that they don't need to fix the issues since only the wolves threaten us (right now). That is a bad security model, and with or without Flipper Zero it will fail.
> It can be an incredible hassle to have a bullshit CVE "high" assigned to a project when you're dealing with various requirements and reporting.

Exactly. Last year, multiple CVEs were opened against node.js. They only impacted an experimental feature introduced in node 20, but NVD listed all versions of node as vulnerable (in contradiction with NVD's own summaries!). Many security tools treat NVD's word as gospel and refused to issue a correction in their findings, even though the erroneous reports were obvious and verifiable. It took multiple weeks for NVD to fix the entries despite receiving no doubt many emails about it.

Flaws in the CVE process waste tons of time, especially (it seems) at large orgs.

Thanks for your reply.

It's exactly like lexers for compilers. This parsing strategy coupled with the decision to then map the results into an embedding space of arbitrary dimensionality is why these models don't work and cannot be said to understand language. They cannot reliably handle fundamental aspects of meaning. They aren't equipped for it.

They're pretty good at coming up with well-formed sentences of English, though. They ought to be given the excessive amounts of data they've seen.
have you considered using Services for this? Services already support taking selected text and doing transformations on it, and allow user-configurable keyboard shortcuts. Plus it will work in any app, not just Notes.

I never said there was nothing wrong with it.

I said to be logical you should only ridicule people for being wrong.

Ridiculing someone for being an ass hole is valid but illogical. There is merit to this distinction because sometimes the ass hole is right and everyone else is wrong.

I'm asking because a lot of people have only tried the 3.5 model and then lose interest when it fails on stupid ways. GPT-4 is not just quantitatively better, it's a qualitative jump ahead.

That's some bad faith nonsense.

Superstores are bad. They hurt small businesses and provide awful service and an awful shopping environment. The prices aren't even low, they just made the quality of the goods fit the price. If Walmart wants to be a grocer, let them focus on that so that a better store for electronics, furniture, firearms (etc.) can take their place.

I think "spirit of the law" can be interpreted as how the (written) law was trying to get at The Law. But even that spirit is not The Law. Here's an example - modern Germany defines itself as a Rechtsstaat. On the face of it this is a "State of the rule of law". But this fails to capture what distinguishes it from a hypothetical Gesetzstaat, so Wikipedia also tries on "state of justice and integrity" and "constitutional state" to get the distinction across. And the absence of Recht - a Nichtrechtsstaat - is one "based on the arbitrary use of power".

The historical context is that of trying to define what in a state should set it apart from both the 3rd Reich and the DDR.

According to their paper, average of standard task of Mistral is 54.0 and for Gemma it's 56.4, so 4.4% relative better. Not as big as you would expect for the company which invented transformers and probably has 2-3 order more compute for training it vs few month old French startup.

The regular UPC style linear barcodes ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode#Linear_barcodes ) can be read with a laser. You can do neat things with spinning mirrors to handle orientation changes (supermarket checkout scanner).

However, they can't handle the information density of a 2d barcode and the transformations needed to scan a 2d barcode at an arbitrary orientation and reconstruct the original information are more finicky than including what is now a cheap digital camera. The difference between a digital still camera and a digital video is how often you read it out.

You can get a camera for under $10 ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/5733 ) and the ease of using that in combination with a library that can handle 2d barcodes in any orientation is much less work to use than trying to make a scanning laser system to read a 2d barcode.
> you just need to write things down

That's fine and all, but where did I write it down again?

I often talk with GPT4 on road trips about topics I'm interested in. Its great for passing the time.

I tried the same thing with Gemini and its full of nonsense. I was talking with it about the "Heian period" of Japan and it made up all sorts of stuff but you really only could tell because it was so ridiculous. Talked about European women and Native Americans roaming around the famous grassy plains of japan wielding katana and traditional weaponry... in the 1100s.

No such issue with GPT4.

I haven't tried it with code though, since I already have co-pilot. Really hard to trust anything it says after it started making stuff up about such a simple time period.
Remix has improved substantially since Shopify took over the project. Remix adopting Vite makes it a real choice. Prior to that acquisition, they made some, what I believe to be, bizarre API choices.

now you can simply use the full power of Vite, which means you aren't locked into Remix having to make choices for you.

This is the 3rd time they migrated the underlying tech though, first it was rollup, then esbuild, and now Vite, which is effectively rollup again. I hope they stick with Vite for the foreseeable future though
> We've managed to emulate humans producing text using statistical methods

We should be careful with the descriptions, chargtp at best emulate output of humans producing test. In no way it emulates the process of humans producing text.

Chatgtp X could be the most convincing ai claiming to be alive and sentient but its just very refined 'next word generator'.

> If we knew how to formally define whether an informal argument is good or bad (so that we could compare them), that is, if we knew a function which would tell if the argument is good or bad, then we could build an AI that would search for its inverse, i.e. provide good arguments and draw correct conclusions.

Sounds like you would solve 'the human problem' with that function ;)

but I don't think there are ways to boil down an argument/problem to good/bad in real life. Except for math that has formal ways of doing it withing the confines of the math domain.

Our world is made of guesses and good enough solutions. There is no perfect bridge design that is objectively flawless. its bunch of sliders, cost, throughput, safety, maintenance etc.
Every time one sees something "bizarre" such as this, one should assume its made so on purpose and ask oneself hat purpose does it serve.

Then assumptions such as "it's Signal's mission to provide private messaging in the face of government overreach" suddenly become very dubious.
I really don't get why there is this obsession with safe "Responsible Generative AI".

I mean it writes some bad words, or bad pics, a human can do that without help as well.

The good thing about dangerous knowledge and generative AI is that you're never sure haha, you'd be a fool to ask GPT to make a bomb. I mean it would probably be safe, since it will make up half of the steps.
