I think you're overstating a supposed worry. I could equally say, "why are all of these languages making me worry about which scope a VAR is attached to?" In either case, it doesn't seem to actually be a worry, it's just different than what you're used to day-to-day.

Lisp's design, I find, is best understood through the lens of how we might most straightforwardly interpret the semantics of the syntax, i.e., how we might write an evaluator for the language. It's a large part of the appeal of using Lisp; it's possible to understand the language—from parsing to execution—so well that you could in principle write a conforming interpreter for even something like Common Lisp without Herculean effort. Having such an understanding of the language has a variety of practical benefits even if you're just using the language.

A construct that you suggest like

(VAR <variable> <value>)

would be quite laborious to nail down semantically, especially if we want VAR to work in as many contexts as possible. This goes against the above ethos.

Even then, if we do make a variety of decisions about syntax and scoping rules to allow VAR, we have additional questions to answer in the context of Lisp specifically. For example, are macros allowed to expand into VAR statements? Is this allowed?

(defmacro bind ()
'(var x 5))

(defun f (y)
(bind)
(+ x y))

This sort of shenanigan can't happen with LET quite as opaquely, since the closest equivalent would require the sum to be wrapped:

(defmacro bind (&body b)
`(let ((x 5))
,@b))

(defun f (y)
(bind
(+ x y)))

Now I'm clued in to something goofy potentially happening when looking at the definition of F.

So we might ban macros expanding into VAR statements. So then how do we write binding macros? Introduce a dedicated SCOPE special operator?

(defmacro bind (&body b)
`(scope
(var x 5)
,@b))

(defun f (y)
(bind
(+ x y)))

But now we just have an obscure LET. :)

Languages with very complicated grammars also typically come with comparatively complicated scoping rules (e.g., Python). Lisp's LET maybe seems gratuitous in a world of "var x = 2" syntax, but it's also abundantly clear what it means and how it works at all times, regardless of nesting or context.

To leave the reader with one last thing to ponder: What should this do in a compiled implementation of Common Lisp with VAR?

(defun what? ()
(tagbody
(if (= 0 (random 2))
(go :bind)
(go :print))

:bind
(var x 1)

:print
(print x)))

And you really think this is NOT the same in Search, Youtube, etc.?

By the way, Dall-E has similar issues. Wikipedia edits too. Reddit? Of course.

why this over keystatic or statamic or (insert upcoming decap replacement)?
That.. did not last long. In my opinion it was a disastrous thing to even attempt. There is really no way to judge a random person's ability to learn, or even address the act of learning, without a standardized test. The ACT and SAT will always need work as culture changes, but throwing it out in search of restorative justice is extremely unwise.
rubber is a plastic, in the sense that it's a thermoset hydrocarbon polymer that's synthetically crosslinked and commonly shaped by molding, if we're talking about vulcanized natural latex. all the other kinds of rubber are even more obviously plastic: silicone, buna-n, polyurethane, etc.
Largely agreed with you regarding the mental model. This is similar to a push I give a lot of programmers on why autocomplete and such is not necessarily a must have feature. Definitely nice, but doesn't help with my mental model of what I'm doing at all.

Only disagreement is that emacs, oddly, is almost certainly more flexible with regards to what a word is than many other editors. With things like global-subword-mode making it so that I can transpose words in a camel case name.
Oh maybe it was just 1200 my b! Good for calling me out. I must've confused them with hair dryer powers haha.

But even more curious, 1200W should work in the US. At 120V and 20 Amps, this gives 2400W max and I think continuous load is allowed at 80% of that, which would be 1920W. But even the Kenwoods in the US only have sub 1000W last time I checked.

> I think it a testament to the collectively perceived value of semiconductors.

Taiwan has been a subject to threat of invasion for a long time before TSMC was a thing.

A short while ago Intel had the best fabs and CPU chips. Nobody thought another country invading USA was plausible.

> so if I'm correct, if/when there are multiple comparable fabs in multiple parts of the world the geopolitical risks should go down in taiwan

No. Taiwan has for decades been a point of geopolitical tension between powers around in Pacific (which currently is US and China). The existence of TSMC makes the rest of the world care more (or scared more), but the PRC isn't just going to give up its decades long goal of taking over Taiwan because there's another TSMC somewhere else (or even in mainland China).
Ime tuition is far more accessible than many extracurriculars, and has better feedback (assuming that standardized testing is the only metric).
I've been ranting about this for months. The underlying shape of these things is inherently an approximation. We're just guessing but some are acting like we've built the godhead.
when i think of "far left" i think of an authoritative regime disguised as serving the common good and ready to punish and excommunicate any thought or action deemed contrary to the common good. However, the regime defines "common good" themselves and remains in power indefinitely. In that regard, SV is very "far left". At the extremes far-left and far-right are very similar when you empathize as a regular person on the street.
Thank you for the detailed example! Do you recommend any resources to help a person get into modern poker?
Your anxiety dream relies on there currently being some technical bottleneck limiting the creation or spread of embarassing fake nudes as a way of cyberbullying.

I don't see any evidence of that. What I see is that people who want to embarass and bully others are already fully enabled to do so, and do so.

It seems more likely to me and many of us that the bottleneck that stops it from being worse is simply that only so many people think it's reasonable or satisfying to distribute embarassing fake nudes of someone. Society already shuns it and it's not that effective as a way of bullying and embarassing people, so only so many people are moved to bother.

Assuming that the hyped up new product is due to swoop in and disrupt the cyberbullying "industry" is just a classic technologist's fantasy.

It ignores all the boring realities of actual human behavior, social norms, and secure equilibriums, etc; skips any evidence building or research effort; and just presumes that some new technology is just sooooo powerful that none of that prior ground truth stuff matters.

I get why people who think that way might be on HN or in some Silicon Valley circles, but
it can be one of the eyeroll-inducing vices of these communities as much as it can be one of its motivational virtues.
Yep but it's a huge leap forward if indigenous. They can get to 22 nm from there which is enough for the majority of microchips.

ASML is only relevant to them if they need to get to present day GPUs and mobile devices (as you said) and I don't think that's that important for their needs. But even if it is relevant they have no access to ASML tech because ASML only has that because the basic research is US-owned and the USG will enforce their export controls on ASML and will enforce that critical components are made here so playing nice with Taiwan won't get China any closer to EUV lithography.

Because I don't want the code I'm running to change out from under me when I tell it to run because some dependency got updated (or for any other reason, for that matter). That's a recipe for disaster.

Running the code is a separate step from determining what code I am going to run; the latter includes determining exactly what versions of all dependencies I am going to run. The two should not be combined.

Honest, if controversial, question: beyond virtue signaling what problem is debate around this topic intended to solve? What are we fixing here?
A while back there was a thread in one of the HN comments where multiple people expressed anxiety about answering a phone call to them with, "hello?" Preferring to instead let the other person speak first. Which is exactly backwards of the established social etiquette of phone calls ever since the telephone was invented. I don't know where we're headed where social norms and tech are concerned, but it's sure to be interesting at the very least.

The term "states rights" is carefully coded. It doesn't "more rights". It means "The state has rights, and you don't".

It's not a path to "individual rights"; it's exactly the opposite. The term gets bandied about most often when the federal government wants to guarantee an individual right, and a local majority doesn't want the individual to have it.

The poster child for "states rights" is the Lost Cause mythology. What rights were the states demanding to have? They were very explicit about it: the right to own human beings, and ensure that they had no rights whatsoever.

Apparently, Google has an issue with people. Nice tech, but trying to automate everything would hit you. Funny, the fiasco could've been avoided, if they would use QA from /b/ imageboard. Because generating Nazis is the first thing /b/ would try.

But yea, Google would rather fire people instead.
We're leaning heavily into the open source aspect. We think that a solution like this will be useful to even smaller teams (10-50) that other companies won't want to target. There is some non-trivial amount of setup required, specifically chasing down the API keys etc. So for the SaaS alternatives, they rely heavily on their sales orgs being very hands on so it makes no sense for them to target small teams. In fact for many of them, if you try to sign up for a demo and you say you're less than 50 people, they straight up ignore you.

So hopefully teams will self-adopt Danswer and as they grow, they will keep using us!

For larger teams, the transparency and peace of mind of self-hosting an open source solution is also a major benefit. We've often heard from large teams that have adopted Danswer, that the customizability of it has been a driving factor in their adoption. They want to own the solution and they want to customize it specifically for their needs. At the very basic level, a lot of teams have swapped in domain specific embedding models and prompts but we've seem some significantly more involved customizations as well.
> inferior by every metric other than quantity

And the metric of "beating most of our existing metrics so we had to rewrite the metrics to keep feeling special, but don't worry we can justify this rewriting by pointing at Goodhart's law".

The only reason the question of compensating people for their input into these models even matters is specifically because the models are, in actual fact, good. The bad models don't replace anyone.
If we use farming methods such as monocropping, it is doubtful. But there are other farming methods better suited for the small scale.
The problem you’re describing is that AI models have no reliable connection to objective reality.

That is a problem, but not the problem here. The problem here is that the humans at Google are overriding the training data which would provide a reasonable result. Google is probably doing something similar to OpenAI. This is from the OpenAI leaked prompt:

Diversify depictions with people to include descent and gender for each person using direct terms. Adjust only human descriptions.

Your choices should be grounded in reality. For example, all of a given occupation should not be the same gender or race. Additionally, focus on creating diverse, inclusive, and exploratory scenes via the properties you choose during rewrites. Make choices that may be insightful or unique sometimes.

Use all possible different descents with equal probability. Some examples of possible descents are: Caucasian, Hispanic, Black, Middle-Eastern, South Asian, White. They should all have equal probability.

A lot of introspection needs to be done to determine why these decisions were made.

These decisions were purely political and social in nature, and it will happen again as soon as there is another opportunity. University administrators, under political and a little bit of social pressure, ignored science and data in pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The bulk of Ivy League schools have determined that some groups of people cannot make it without help, and it is up to those universities to correct this wrong by reducing as many roadblocks and responsibilities as possible.

I doubt there will be any introspection because many of the people who made these disastrous decisions are still in power and will likely be so for some time.
Aluminum extrusion requires that the PCB fit into the slots. Large PCBs are expensive to prototype and most of the space isn't necessary anymore.

Also the enclosures are quite costly in comparison to plastic, and most aluminum enclosures don't provide any meaningful benefit other than EMI shielding (when grounded).

They don't even act as a heatsink unless you go outside the generally expected methods. However at that point it's usually easier to throw on a heatsink and have ventilation holes.

But yes I do love aluminum extruded chassis.

If we follow the idea of safety, should we restrict the internet so either such users can safely use the internet (and phones, gift cards, technology in general) without being scammed, or otherwise restrict it so that at risk individuals can't use the technology at all?

Otherwise, why is AI specifically being targeted, other than the fear of new things that looks similar to the moral panics of video games.
Interesting topic, but strangely formatted article. I wonder if it was AI generated in different sections due to the repetition and disjointed statements.

I think it's disingenious to claim that the problem pointed out isn't an actual problem.

If it was not your intention, that's what your wording is clearly implying by "_actual problem_".

One can point out problems without dismissing other people's problems with no rationale.
Seems like all they need to do is, when prompted to generate images of people, ask for clarification on whether the user wants to constrain the appearance, use the default output of the model, or otherwise offer to modify the prompt to reduce biases or however they would describe it. Doesn't even have to be interactive, just a note on the side would be enough.

Ultimately the only "real" concern was silently perpetuating biases, as long as it isn't silent and the user is made aware of the options, who cares? You'll never be able to baby-proof these things enough to stop "bad actors" from generating whatever they want without compromising the actual usage

I just know that a part of Rogers’ response was to separate their cores between wireless and wireline so that the risk of both going down simultaneously would be reduced.

The 3rd party providers aren’t white-label resellers, but there’s obviously some overlapping susceptibilities to going down when Rogers breaks something. Depends what they break, and in this case, it took them down too.
> "go mod download && go run ."

No: "go mod download" if I want to update dependencies; then look to see what got updated and how it will affect what I'm doing. Then "go run".

> What's the point in making `go run` error out when it already knows what dependencies to get and how to get them.

Because I don't care what "go run" knows. I care what code is going to run when I say "go run". I want that code to be the code I already know is there and understand. I don't want it to be some new code that "go run" downloads because it sees that an update to a dependency is available. Downloading that update and understanding what effects it has is something that I want to do before "go run", not as part of it.

The speculation is fascinating. For most people, their guess is a reflection of themselves. Is there a term for that? This is a gross generalization, but I've seen...
- Science people guessing solar flares
- My "right-wing friend" guessed international hackers
- I, myself, guessed it was a botched software release
- Someone in this post commented their military friend says get gas

And yet, like everyone else, I genuinely feel that I'm probably right
But that depends on context. If I would ask "please make picture of Nigerian nurse" then the probability should be overwhelmingly black. If I ask for "picture of Finnish nurse" then it should be almost always a white person.

That probably can be done and may work well already, not sure.

But the harder problem is that since I'm from a country where at least 99% of nurses are white people, then for me it's really natural to expect a picture of a nurse to be a white person by default.

But for a person that's from China, a picture of a nurse is probably expected to be of a chinese person!

But if course the model has no idea who I am.

So, yeah, this seems like a pretty intractable problem to just DWIM. Then again, the whole AI thingie was an intractable problem three years ago, so...
