Oh, I didn't know that shortcut for minimizing. Is there a reason the button is hidden by default?

I never really understood how to efficiently use virtual desktops or what their benefits are compared to one desktop. Would you mind to explain?

Well, I would imagine that is because you generally only need extensions on KDE for niche things, while GNOME needs extensions for more 'basic' things. Obviously you don't need an extension for a system tray if one already exists by default.

Not the same thing, LLMs are stochastic parrots, and part of that is by design, so that they produce output that emulates speech.

But hallucinations are not avoidable either.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.11817

They are Internet simulators unless they can find some small, polynomial, matches to their existing patterns.

The fact that they will spit out confident incorrect answers mixed with automation bias on the humans part is challenging.

But while answering 'yes' in Propositional logic is cheap, answering 'no' is exponential time.

Once you hit first order logic you start to hit finite time and uncomputability.

LLMs work well with learnable problems and searching for approximate results in complex high dimensional spaces.

But we also don't know the conversation context in this case which may have lead to this response if it wasn't just a stochastic match.

IMHO the unreliable responses are a feature, because humans suffer from automation bias, and one of the best ways to combat it is for the user to know that the system makes mistakes.

If you are in a domain where it's answers are fairly reliable the results tend to be accepted despite the knowledge an individual has.
I used to have a 3 mile walking commute and was almost always in a great mood, full of ideas and inspiration by the time I arrived at work or home. It took about 35 minutes each way.

probably twice as slow as driving, but 10x more enjoyable

3 hours to commute 3 miles is literally 1 mile an hour. about the speed of a baby's crawl

KDE team has done a fantastic job in the looks department. Every time I look at the latest release it looks better and better.

Don't see it mentioned in the post, can any of these problems exist for models in the safetensors format? Can't say I know enough about model serialization to understand exactly how much safer it is.
The problem with cars is the geometry. It's just very inefficient for the amount of people you are trying to move. For example, many cars are able to seat four or more passengers. What frequently happens is that only one person is driving it. You need empty space for maneuvering and ability to stop safely, especially at high speed.

If you design for the car, you need to design spaces for cars to park in, which increases distance between places, which worsen alternatives.

Coupled with parking minimum and inefficient urban planning, everything is too far apart. Traffic engineer design for convenience of cars with everything else an afterthought. It's either too dangerous or too inconvenient to walk and bike.

When you need to drive everywhere, that also increases demand for driving.

With cheap land and access to highways, this cause suburban sprawls and of course additional traffic. Given that jobs are found within the city, it's no surprise that we have traffic congestion.

Compare people to car, we just need less space in general to move and you don't have the problem of car seating only the driver majority of the time instead of four or five people.

So yeah, geometry hates car.

if the corpus used to train the LLM contained as common the idea that "we don't give out people's last names, here's the convention for not doing it", the LLM would have no trouble incorporating that into it's associations.

This seems like somebody's idea of netiquette has been taped on ex post, so I don't think it's indicative of anything about LLMs; same with Gemini's heavy handed wokism.
On per file level it's just 1 commit. It's not really a big deal
> Things like this show that LLM are not even remotely intelligent.

Sorry for the bluntness, but no it does not show that. Or at least, you could use the same reasoning to claim that most humans are not "remotely intelligent".

What you're seeing is the rote regurgitation of someone who's been taught how to answer a question without ever learning how to think about the why.

This failure mode that's extremely common to see when tutoring (humans, that is). You'll have students who will quickly give a wrong guess that was clearly just chosen from a list of previous answers they've encountered before in class. When asked to explain why they chose that answer, they can only shrug. The main difference between them and e.g. GPT4 is that the latter is far more eloquent and better at stringing justifications together, which we associate with more reasoning capability so it throws off our evaluation of its overall intelligence.

Because LLMs are fundamentally a type of alien intelligence, different from the types we're used to.
Spreading out is bad. It adds significant fiscal burden supporting essential services infrastructure such as water and sewerage, as you lose the economies of scale that more dense/compact cities have. Worse, spreading out only adds to induced demand when you have greater numbers of people commuting at the same time of day twice a day.

Housing is a false equivalency in this equation, and there are other levers that need to be pulled to address construction costs, etc.

Further, if you had better and reliable rapid transport links servicing spread out communities, it would negate the need to drive in many cases when commuting to economic hubs. But this requires a mindset shift.

Overall, it's nuanced, and that complexity is why voters (and NIMBYs) are reticent to embrace how we need to be living for now, and not how we used to live.

"but there's ultimately a limit to how effective personal cars can be when population density exceeds a certain level."

And yet tha vast majority of the US is nowhere near that density. The most dense areas already have public transit. Could those areas use some additional funding? Probably. Are there other issues than just funding? Definitely. Is the title misleading and presenting a false dilemma? Yes, the US is investing in both, not just one or the other.

Ask HN: Everyone is using Postgres, why are most scared to program it with SQL?
postgres is an incredibly rich and powerful database and its true power is unlocked when you program it directly with the language that it exposes to the world. postgres has become that standard for database for so many people and projects.

But strangely most are scared to program it with SQL.

Instead, almost everyone uses a database abstraction layer to avoid writing SQL - why is this? Why the obsession with avoiding "programming the machine"?

So instead of creating a lifelong, re-usable knowledge and skill of programming Postgres with SQL, developers are wasting their time learning abstractions and libraries and ORMs that may or may not hang around, and might not even be used at the next project you work on.

Why is it that people love postgres but they are afraid to program it with SQL?
This has been incredibly helpful at my startup, thanks for putting craft into a typically boring workflow.
A comparison cannot be made between times when women did not have access to contraception / financial independence to times when women do have access to those things.

And from my mid 30s cohort and younger acquaintences, I think that while they do not explicitly say their decision is about someone else’s line going up, the implication is there that if they cannot afford their kids a certain minimum quality of life, then they are willing to go without kids.

More specifically, if they are going to have to deal with living in a cramped apartment (in their preferred location) and the volatility of rents or a giant mortgage, then they are willing to forego having kids.
> Regular users should not be using that, they should instead be using safetensors or something like gguf which is (more or less) just a set of weights.

Regular users do not know any of this and do not care. All they know is to download .exe and run and never check whatever they are downloading is malicious or not.

> The "black box" you refer to is more about not understanding why a model does what it does.

That is my additional point which makes this situation absolutely even worse.

> We understand how a deep neural net works.

No one does and certainly not even the AI scientists even understand the unpredictable behaviours of these models after training.

> the characterization of some characters... are very far from how the books depicts them

If this proves LLMs are not intelligent, then when I ask ChatGPT or Gemini and they give me the correct answer, does that mean those are not LLMs?

I think you and I are actually in agreement.

I agree that Americans don't consider it a priority for their society to close the gap between rich and poor with things like free healthcare and free college education.

However, I don't think that's because they're oppressed by the tyrannous yoke of capitalism. That wealth inequality allows quite a lot of people to enjoy luxuries; they've got 1 swimming pool for every 30 people, that's a lot of people with private swimming pools!

Many Americans feel their high GDP per capita shows their low-tax approach is good for productivity, and that those swimming pools are proof that hard work gets rewarded in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

My point is, viewed at a national level, America isn't suffering from the burdensome cost of maintaining their large and expensive military, as gessha seemed to think. They're actually one of the richest countries in the world.
I'm really excited about this movie, its f/x and renderings of the buildings, world and technology are the stuff of sci-fi dreams. And I am saying this as die hard fan and lover of the books and also a fan of the David Lynch movie. I didn't really like the mini series they made for TV. That being said the only issue I have is with the cast, I feel like the biggest misses were Baron Harkonnen and Paul Atreides. David Lynch cast both perfectly but its a minor nit and overall really enjoyed part one immensely.

10% of F500 companies are run by women as of 2023[1]. It's interesting the author assumed all F500 CEOs are men. I would also be interested on the source of height for the F500 CEOs. If it is self-reported it is possible that some of them aren't quite as tall as they say.

I love how Gnome and KDE Plasma diverged. I change desktops every now and then, now I'm feeling like Gnome is just enough desktop and I'm loving it.

I still think knowing C++ is pretty valuable to someone's career (at least over the next 10 - 15 years) if they're looking to work in fields that traditionally use C++ but might be transitioning away from it.

The obvious comparison is Rust. There are way more C++ jobs out there than Rust jobs. And even if I'm hiring for a team developing something in Rust, I'd generally prefer candidates with similar C++ experience and a basic understanding of Rust over candidates with a strong knowledge of Rust and no domain experience. Modern C++ and Rust aren't _that_ dissimilar, and a lot of ideas and techniques carry over from C++ to Rust.

Even if the DoD recommends that contractors stop using C++ and tech / finance are moving away from it, I'd say we're still years away from the point where Rust catches up to C++ in terms of job opportunities. If your main goal is employment in a certain industry, you'll probably have an easier time getting your foot in the door with C++ than Rust. Both paths are viable but the Rust path would be much harder IMO.
great idea.

My first thought is it needs a rope on it, to pull it out of the avalanches.

Second thought is to wonder how many sensors you could cram on it and how much you can tell from them. Finding damp patches in the bin would be good, but it might have to have a pause and dwell time for the sensors to get decent humidity readings.

Any opening will become clogged with grain and dust; so they've prolly got their hands full keeping the propellers running.
