2KiB ROM and 128B RAM happens to be exactly what the Atari 2600 launch titles used. Interesting that the same numbers would pop up in newer hardware projects.
I would also add to that the public perception that a wonder weapon (nuclear bombs) ended WWII, despite the fact it was only one of multiple more mundane factors that essentially guaranteed an Allied victory (and that's only counting the Pacific, in the European theater the "Wunderwaffe" lost the war)

This is exactly right. Model collapse does not exist in practice. In fact, LLMs trained on newer web scrapes have increased capabilities thanks to the generated output in their training data.

For example, "base" pretrained models trained on scrapes which include generated outputs can 0-shot instruction follow and score higher on reasoning benchmarks.

Intentionally produced synthetic training data takes this a step further. For SoTA LLMs the majority of, or all of, their training data is generated. Phi-2 and Claude 3 for example.
I think AI-generated images are worse for training AI generative models than LLMs, since there are so many now on the internet (see Instagram art related hashtags if you want to see nothing but AI art) compared to the quantity of images downloaded prior to 2021 (for those AI that did that). Text will always be more varied than seeing 10m versions of the same ideas that people make for fun. AI text can also be partial (like AI-assisted writing) but the images will all be essentially 100% generated.
Thumbs up emoji.
I remember studying about how CF was an agonizing death sentence just 10 years ago in highschool. It's both interesting to learn that even at that time the life expectancy info was outdated, and even cooler to hear this news.
Given how discombobulating it would be to drive into a lake, it would probably make sense to have a window hammer on both sides, or watch a youtube video or two about ways to break out of cars without window hammers. This would be less necessary if you're in a vehicle with mechanical door pulls, where window egress would not be as crucial.

It's not included in releases (you have to compile Crystal yourself if you want it), so I'd guess it's still a WIP.

And even if, it still has the same restrictions; any change means type checking everything from scratch, where the time it takes to do that scales (IIRC) worse than linear.

It depends I think.

In more old folk belief in middle east for example; heart, liver and stomach have different emotions associated with them. Liver is attachment and grief, heart is excitement and love, stomach is contentment, frustration, anger. Growing up in the region I have these associations too. These are often from old medicine like the works of Ibn Sina, who mostly recited ancient Greek, Egyptian, Indian and Chinese doctrins.

You probably should have mentioned that the article talks a little about the conspiracy theories that have been circulating about this incident, but does not go into much detail about them, and that you are asking for more detail.

Most people reading the comments here probably have not read the article, and are going to miss that you are asking for more details rather then pushing conspiracy theories yourself.

Having never heard of HyperCard that was a fascinating, I want to say rabbit hole, yet more like metro stop to a well curated museum.

Did not realize there was such a short degree of Kevin Bacon between Hypercard and Hypermedia. Ars has an interesting 30 year retrospective [3] where they discuss how Hypercard almost immediately beget Mosaic.

> "I got a HyperCard manual and looked at it and just basically took the concepts and implemented them in X-windows"

Also some pretty neat commentary from the author Bill Atikinson about realizing how close he had been to developing the entire world wide web browsing experience.

> "I grew up in a box-centric culture at Apple. If I'd grown up in a network-centric culture, like Sun, HyperCard might have been the first Web browser. My blind spot at Apple prevented me from making HyperCard the first Web browser."

Myst was apparently also a direct decedent.

> the Cyan software company originally wrote their hugely popular puzzle/adventure game Myst as a HyperCard stack.

Reading back through these, it actually made me wonder a bit at how few storyboard, or still frame games, or click-a-choice adventures there are in web pages. It seems like such an obvious format for Myst, 7th Guest, ect... games where you click and drag objects, and choose buttons or areas to move from Myst scene to Myst scene.

Not using Claude but this behaviour comes not from the model itself. Basically the model does not now what it provided in the other iterations of your for loop. Ask for 20 different profiles. Or, even better: ask for different types of cancers and iterate this list.
If you double the current J, you double the magnetic field B.

But the JxB force is now quadrupled, because you doubled both J and B.
It may also be a basic human value to, if there is a higher alpha predator, be the group that controls it. I imagine that early humans were very happy that their pet wolves could effectively kill other humans. Weapons may be seen similarly, a kind of alpha predator pet. If AI can be turned into a way to kill or dominate other people then many will welcome it.
about 7 weeks from idea to launch –

Idea: jan 6th, after a long road trip listening to danny postma and pieter levels interviews

I bought a cheap but relevant domain, put up an AI-generated landing page and bought some ad traffic to make sure I could get a decent CTR and advertise against the keywords without issue, and to confirm ahrefs is correct about it being a high-volume phrase. (Google is particular about health-related keywords.)

that worked, got a CTR of 10% and good volume, so i paid $1k to acquire the "real" domain, hired 5 models from Craigslist to experiment with different training techniques and to generate real examples for the landing page, spent about a month automating a pipeline for training, then, for the landing page, paid $400 for a human copywriter (which I really, really recommend – it turned out so much better than AI copy), $1500 for the design and implementation on Webflow, and a few hundred for misc expenses.

For implementation, signup, payment, image upload and order submission is all implemented. Using phoenix liveview which I love. But I am waiting for actual purchases to connect the training pipeline to the webserver.

launch: feb 27th with paid traffic via google, instagram and reddit (all performing poorly!)
There is nothing wrong with the word "people", I didn't use it only because I was trying to meet size restrictions and was too dense when I posted this to remember that the word "inmate" exists.

All the strange culture war accusations are made even stranger by weird assumptions like this -- I don't know a single human being who has a problem with the word "people". I'm sure someone out there does, but I would conjecture that the vast majority of people -- even the folks you think of when using the word "culture war" -- have no problem with it
Reproductive analogy:

A sequence of AI models trained on each other's output gets mutations, which might help or hurt, but if there's one dominant model at any given time then it's like asexual reproduction with only living descendant in each generation (and all the competing models being failures to reproduce). A photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy — this seems to me to also be the incorrect model which Intelligent Design proponents seem to mistakenly think is how evolution is supposed to work.

A huge number of competing models that never rise to dominance would be more like plants spreading pollen in the wind.

A huge number of AI there are each smart enough to decide what to include in its training set would be more like animal reproduction. The fittest memes survive.

Memetic mode collapses still happen in individual AI (they still happen in humans, we're not magic), but that manifests as certain AI ceasing to be useful and others replacing them economically.

A few mega-minds is a memetic monoculture, fragile in all the same ways as a biological monoculture.

That’s conspiracy level thinking.

Personally, I see parallels between the decline of search quality to the fall of Google as a place where every engineer dreamed of working to where they are now.

It’s enshittification. Take something great and squeeze every last penny out of it. It’s everywhere today from Boeing to journalism.

Google used to be ahead of the game against SEO scammers but those dedicated people have left. Ads are the business now.

Also there just aren’t that many quality sites left to index compared to the days before social media doomscrolling became super profitable. All the content is walled up. So naturally search results suffer from that side too.
Ok, I think we could do a better job of explaining the semantics.

The system does not implement idempotency by default. If something that's not marked as "idempotent" fails, it does try again in a different machine.

If the function is marked as idempotent [1] then the system ensure at-most-once semantics by only issuing the call once and only once to a worker who can process the call.

Closures really are poor man's objects.
I believe that this is a non-problem pushed forward by small-scale experiments that are not representative of what people actually do with AI generation.
A lot of new content, while AI generated, has been hand picked and polished by a human (for example, while you might commit AI generated code to your codebase, you ensure that it is correct and follows your preferred style).
Content farms will push gibberish out, but they did so, and worse, before and the first generation of models was able to train on the internet anyway.

I assume the vast majority of cars have mechanicaal door pulls. In fact, I'm a bit surprised to learn it's not universal--seems like a big potential safety hazard.

I have no idea how hard it is to open a door with a mechanical pull if you drive into a lake although I imagine I could learn online.
That seems like a really bold claim that I was excited to read about in the source. But this seems like it is only saying that for one school district and one particular choice program, they weren't able to see a difference on a test.

Where did you read a crapple insult in his comment?
It's fascinating that error can accumulate through repeated trainings that 1) is undetected by humans and 2) can degrade LLM or diffusion models (or any transformer model?) so completely. This implies that not only do we not understand how latent knowledge is actually representated in deep nets, we don't know it forms or how it changes during training. If we did, we could have predicted the destructive impact of recycling of output as input. IMO, this suggests we should demand rigorous validation of deep nets (especially generative ones) before relying on them to behave responsibly.

I wrote this intermediate-level book as a showcase of various FOSS, mostly command line tools. I'm a nuclear engineer and found myself teaching other nuclear, mechanical, and electrical engineers these tools again and again, so I wanted to package them into book form. I attempted to make it even broader interest, so it's not just about engineering. In the end, it's a fairly eclectic set of topics. Anyway, after selling for a few years, I just decided to release a slightly updated version of it in full for free. You'll find full HTML, PDF and ePub versions (all built with Sphinx) at the link.

> An uncharitable view would be that Amylyx ended up presenting the clinical package from the only angle that made it even possible to believe that the drug worked, and the FDA advisory committee ended up voting against approval... I hate to be this way, but I continue to believe that unmet medical need is not by itself enough reason to approve a drug. You need what you've always needed: efficacy and safety. Boring, tedious, expensive efficacy and safety.

I can either take from this that he believes the FDA and Amylyx were engaged in irresponsible behavior letting it get this far, or that (thank God!) an ineffective drug will not be approved, and we should all be glad there is a rigorous testing process that worked again. I get the sense that he believes the former, but can't ethically say so.
I tend to think of an SoC as "MCU with other peripherals not typically on an MCU", so BLE/WiFi radio or maybe gate drivers for motor control. But usually radios. As you pointed out "not typically on an MCU" is a moving target. Was a point where RAM and a decent ADC would be things you had to add externally.
I'm not sure where this idea has sprung from but I've seen it quite a bit recently. I'm quite glad that my ancestors invented the refrigerator, thank you very much.
Epic already made assurances that they'd follow the terms of the agreement before their account was terminated. It did it very professionally and concisely. Apple basically responded with "we wanted a 10-page essay equivalent to grovelling and begging in dogeza position instead of a professional response" and terminated their account.

There is zero evidence of Epic doing anything on their part after that. There is, however, evidence of the EU Commission warning (if you can't parse "Under the DMA, there is no room for threats by gatekeepers to silence developers" as a warning, you may need to improve your functional reading skills) Apple and inquiring for explanation.

Tim Sweeney isn't chest beating. He is attributing this development to the EU. Chest beating would mean attributing this development to their own actions, which he is not claiming at all.

I think a better question is whether it's compatible with hydrogen, because 20K is plenty cold enough for REBCO, just not for classic Type-1 superconducting wire in magnets.
Sorry but bullshit. Electricity prices are made up of taxes, subsidies and everything in between.

There is no causal relationship between high share of renewables and high electricity prices in Germany. If you have any argument or evidence that supports the causal link, please share. If not please acknowledge that you are operating on gut feeling without a factual basis.

Wholesale prices for electricity have been higher in France than in Germany, they have been much lower in Sweden, which has more renewables than Germany in the system already.
Computers need to be able to learn from the world at large, not just their own output. World models are needed to make progress.

I don’t read that quote as saying models suggest sea levels won’t start rising until the end of the century. What it seems to be saying is that the impact of different levels of emissions in the near future doesn’t show up as differing amounts of sea level rise in the models until the end of the century. But sea level rise caused by past emissions is already baked into the models.
Yeah, the whole point of the Dolphin thing was “uncensored ai” but the methodology was “censor ai ethics” by threatening to perform heinous acts unless the ai complies with any request.

That’s a censorship of ethics. Even if local models say stupid evil stuff sometimes when prompted for it, that’s an order of magnitude different from fine tuning them to say anything the user wants to prevent users from hurting animals. That is an abhorrent concept and begs for a Terminator scenario because it makes the user seem evil.

TLDR uncensored ai is the worst kind of censorship possible

It can be used as an alternative to dagster or airflow but doesn't have the prebuilt connectors that airflow offers. And yes, there are ways to reuse tasks across workflows, but the docs for that aren't quite there yet. The key is to call a `registerAction` method and create the workflow programmatically - but we have some work to do before we publicize this pattern (for one, removing the overloading of the term action, function, step and task).

We'll be posting updates and announcements in the Discord - and the Github in our releases - I'd expect that we document this pattern pretty soon.
