Any news on the powerplant-side? Which is one if not the most critical part of the plane for commercial success. Didn't GE dropped the ball a while ago? I still see them mentioned in their website https://boomsupersonic.com/symphony
I thought of something similar these days but with a different approach - rather than settrace, it would use a subclass of bdb.Bdb (the standard library base debugger, on top of which Pdb is built) to actually have the LLM run a real debugging session. It'd place breakpoints (or postmortem sessions after an uncaught exception) to drop into a repl which allows going up/down the frame stack at a given execution point, listing local state for frames, running code on the repl to try out hypotheses or understand the cause of an exception, look at methods available for the objects in scope, etc. This is similar to what you'd get by running the `%debug` magic on IPython after an uncaught exception in a cell (try it out).

The quick LLM input/repl output look is more suitable for local models though, where you can control hidden state cache, have lower latency, and enforce a grammar to ensure it doesn't go off the rails/commands implemented for interacting with the debugger, which afaik you can't do with services like OpenAI's. This is something I'd like to see more of - having low level control of a model gives qualitatively different ways of using it which I haven't seen people explore that much.
Portland, OR has a similar problem with the raceway.

People buy houses near Portland International Raceway and then complain about the noise of race cars. Just doesn't make sense to me.
There's a nice marsh I've sea kayaked to from Winthrop which is a community in greater Boston right across from Logan airport. (You could have easily landed your boat there at the end of the runway--presumably if you didn't mind serious people with automatic weapons paying you a quick visit.) I remember being there once with a friend and we got to talking with a local for some reason. HE TALKED REALLY LOUDLY. You understood why when a jet took off over the parking lot every few minutes.
You’re welcome to lobby your congress members for that but until the military says they’re moving it’s a mistake to buy a house there if you can’t live with the noise.
> Modern goods are fractally complex: individuals can't be expected to become experts in all the disciplines required to judge the quality of a good

Indiviuals do not have to understand the fractals of complexity inherent in what it took to make a finished product to know if the finished product is good quality or not.

Let's just say for the sake of argument I do not understand 1/10th of what goes into HVAC systems, or what it takes to make them. I don't understand supply chain and part sourcing. I don't understand the engineering schematics that underpin the design of the control board that runs my given HVAC unit, therefore, have no expert knowledge of HVAC systems. But what I do know, as an end user / consumer is, if you sell me a Lennox, its most likely going to be a piece of shit, and therefore I do not want a Lennox HVAC system.
In my last job I had a 'manager' who would give me the 'shit sandwich' - which was precisely what this describes.

In the weekly zoom meeting I would wait for the shit. I didn't hear any praise, my ears were geared up solely for the shit to hit. There never really was any - I was doing my job just fine - but because of this delivery method if he did say something good I just didn't hear it.

A subsequent 'manager' would pick out issues immediately (they were rare), we'd talk, agree and then move on.

I am quite sure that batch will work with good responsiveness for many, if not most, common languages provided source files have fewer than say 30k lines in them. If you just think about the io performance of modern computers, it should not be that difficult to parse at 25MB/sec which I estimate translates to between 500K to 1M loc, which again is in the 15k-30k loc range per 30ms.

I'm not saying that incremental is bad per se, but that the choice of guaranteeing incrementalism complicates things for cases where it isn't necessary. I am not super familiar with lsp, but I can imagine lsp having a syntax highlighting endpoint that has both batch and incremental modes. A naive implementation could just run the batch mode when given an incremental request and later add incremental support as necessary. In other words, I think it would be best if there were another layer of indirection between the editor and the parser (whether that is tree-sitter or another implementation).

Right now though, you have to opt in whole hog to the tree-sitter approach. As mentioned above, incrementalism has no benefit and only cost for a batch tool like difftastic or semgrep to mention two named in this thread.
In my mind, it’s one thing to omit information I don’t know but another to withhold information
I'm just talking about my perspective after moving to East Tennessee and living here a few months. I'd say the people are much more libertarian that I ever noticed on the West Coast. I of course agree that states like New Hampshire are more of a "traditionally libertarian", but I've noticed a definite libertarian perspective when it comes to business and economic issues, while it's of course very socially conservative in other areas.

I making observations based on personal observations, not simply to make a point. I don't know where you're from or where you live, but I assure you I'm not making stereotypes, this is just what I've noticed from talking to my neighbors and members of the community.

I'm sure my viewpoint will become more nuanced as I continue to learn more, but I don't think I'm that off kilter here in saying that economically Tennessee (especially East Tennessee, maybe Nashville is different) leans more libertarian than a lot of places in the country.

They are not testing the engines here (which they will not be manufacturing anyway), but the aerodynamics and the systems.
Well since Rolls-Royce abandoned the project that might be why? This seems like more of a proof of concept of the airframe itself.
No, this only works on the regular processor cores. It's a cache timing attack that depends on the attack code and the targeted cryptographic code running on processors that share cache.

Heres the best bit, people working under the table are going to be making less than 100k generally so it doesn't really matter, anyone making real money will be making big enough waves in the financial system to be detected, small movements of cash doesn't matter at this scale. The highly taxed routes (capital gains) are also already highly policed for tax purposes so no transition is needed there.

Probably no data. China will not make data publically available if it makes them look bad.
Ditch tags, organize in folders, or don't organize at all. Use search either way. Take your time to give your notes distinct and meaningful names. The rest will be a huge mess no matter what you do. You don't know what you don't know. That's why we're taking notes in the first place, isn't it? Formatting is evil for the same reason. A wise person once said: If you make everything bold, nothing stands out. Headings and code blocks do just fine.

And for the love of God, don't read or write articles or posts such as this one of mine on how to take notes :D I'm sort of joking, but not really. What a waste of time... Everybody's different. It takes many years of trying to figure out what works for one and what doesn't.

I agree. Game companies don't create games for free, and if they do, then they're siphoning off personal data and selling it to the highest bidder to support themselves. The business model should be clear: if you're getting a game for free, developers need to state how they make money for transparency purposes.

Experiments like this are how you confirm whether or not your predictions are accurate.

I'm not disagreeing with what is presumably happening, but rather on how to characterize that.

Of course next word predictions are not based directly on surface level word sequence patterns - they are based on internal representations of what these word sequences mean, and predicted continuations are presumably going to be at a similar level of abstraction/representation (what you are calling a plan). This continuation "plan" then drives actual word selection/prediction.

Where we seem to differ is whether this high level continuation representation can really be considered as a "plan". To me the continuation is just a prediction, as are the words that might be used to start expressing that continuation, and presumably it's not even a single continuation with multiple ways of expressing it (turning it into a word sequence), but rather some superposition of multiple alternate continuations.

When we get to the level of words output it becomes even less plan-like since the actual word output is randomly sampled, and when fed back in as part of the "sentence so far" may cause the model to predict a different continuation (or set of continuations) than it had at the prior step. So, any "plan" (aka predicted continuation) is potentially changing continuously from word to word, rather than being decided ahead of time and then executed. As I noted elsewhere in this thread, the inability to plan multiple words ahead is behind these model's generally poor performance on the "give me a sentence ending in <word>" task, as opposed to perfect performance on the "give me a sentence starting with <word>" one.

If we contrast this behavior of a basic LLM to the "tree of thoughts" mechanism that has been proposed, it again highlights how unplan-like the basic behavior is. In the tree of thoughts mechanism the model is sampled from multiple times generating multiple alternate (multi-word) continuations, which are then evaluated with the best being chosen. If the model were really planning ahead of time it seems this should not be necessary - planning would consist of considering the alternatives BEFORE deciding what to generate.
Unfortunately, I think the route to more efficiency is funneling people to massive hub airports where widebody planes carry them on less frequent runs to other hubs— but that results in longer boarding times, less flexible schedules, and more stopovers, none of which the market wants.

So instead we have a bunch of smaller "commuter" jets making point-to-point trips, many of which are short enough that they really should be trains, not air travel. And that's a whole other issue. Sigh.

Any company where non tech managers want to say gpt can do that in 5 minutes doesn't understand the small and subtle ways gpt will misinterpret making things very messy very fast.

In toy problem scenarios gpt does pretty darn well... Because those are toys with obvious starts and ends. Gpt is useful for people who already know the answer but want to use gpt to type it up for them.

In any case, reasons aside... If your manager is hostile to seeing you as valuable leave. There's no way to improve things in that situation.

That may be because there are no longer large numbers of people protesting the same thing.

As I understand it, engine sourcing has been one of Boom's challenges. Rolls Royce was originally working on an engine for them, but cancelled it in '22. Boom announced their own engine design last year but I'm assuming that's not ready.

Apparently newer engines aren't designed for supersonic flight so I'm guessing options are limited for testing this airframe.

That’s just a matter of ability. A few guys can easily stall things. It didn’t take many to force Sonoma to change. All these attempts have risks. You can always try. Sometimes you’re powerful enough to get change in your favour. Other times you’re not and it was a good bet. Other times you’re not and it was a bad bet.

Besides, this is quite refined now. I just put nana in the house. People can’t resist old people. She’ll have medical issues that need quiet etc etc.

My landlord did something like that with a few buildings for the big London sewer project. London actually paid him for new windows and things like that.

You just apply the force. Most taxpayers don’t notice this stuff so you can get hundreds of thousands out of it.

Many government projects are slow, too, so you can do this for ones where they’re announced but no work has been done. Bam, free upgrades, earthquake retrofit, etc.

I don't see anything in the 3-clause BSD license indicating the copyright notice needs to be included in every file, though.

They've kept a copy of it in the repository, and it looks like they left the BSD header in files where the copyright holder's name was an external contributor.

They also mention that the license change only applies to future changes, not existing code - so it doesn't seem like there's any copyright infringement happening here, unless I'm missing something.

It's definitely easy to forget about peer dependencies, which is why I'll often just spin up a Vite project and examine the actual build output to be certain about bundle sizes. To be fair to React though, in any production Preact app you'll probably end up pulling in either Preact Hooks or Preact Signals, which will add a few kb (unless you're using class components), but Preact Hooks is still only 3.7kb [1].

In the case of lit, I think lit-html actually is a direct dependency of lit (unless I'm reading it wrong)? In the composition section at the bottom of lit's Bundlephobia page it says lit-hmtl makes up 46.1% of lit's bundle size.

The one thing you do have to remember about lit though is that if you're server side rendering you'll also need the @webcomponents/template-shadowroot polyfill, and @lit-labs/ssr-client/lit-element-hydrate-support.js [2].

I agree that Bundlephobia needs a peer dependencies mode. It still might be tough to be exhaustive about these things because react-dom depends on react as a peer, but confusingly the reverse is not true, because even though almost everyone is using react with react-dom, you could technically render to a different target (e.g. Ink uses react to render terminal UIs). Bundlephobia would need to be aware of packages that are so commonly used together that they're de facto peer dependencies, even if they're not de jure peer dependencies.

It took Zapier ~12 years to become a ~$5B company and build the book of revenue supporting such a valuation. For the right price, certainly, cash out (time value of money/time). But it's also reasonable to build and see how far you can run organically, depending on what you're optimizing for as a founder. You might be able to run faster because you're not carrying a decade of technical architecture to today's market, regardless of current cashflow and engineering capacity.

Zapier is a great company from a product and financial fundamentals perspective, big fan in all honesty, but I wouldn't sell upstarts short (that they can't execute).
Why the 2% inflation target? (2023)
Given that LLMs are basically doing Sequential Monte-carlo sampling in latent space, the "thought" part of chain-of-thought certainly seems more akin to the necessary warm up period whenever you do any kind of SMC sampling.

Anyone whose done serious Bayesian stats work knows that the sampler needs to warm up for a bit to get start efficiently sampling. I suspect something similar is happening with chain-of-thought: the model needs to wander around a bit before it gets into the correct neighborhood for sampling the answer.
I'd be happy to help, looking forward :)

Presumably for the same reason the Gulf of Mexico doesn't show up despite having six of the ten largest US ports. I'd guess they only tracked the open ocean, but whether that's a design decision or those types of clouds don't form over certain bodies of water I couldn't say.

Either way, much of the traffic in the Pacific comes from or ends at China, I don't think anyone is denying that.

As a consumer, the pain-point of flying isn't that the plane is slow (although it'd be nice to go faster) - it's the slap-dash construction of the planes. I know it's safe statistically, but I just can't stomach entrusting my life to a system that lets Boeing's many ridiculous failures through the cracks.

The other major issue is having to be at the airport hours early, and the planes can't fix that.

As someone who's used Reddit for a while, it definitely seems like there's less interesting stuff being posted there, and that things are a lot quieter than they used to be. A lot of the more technical/in depth subreddits seem to be near dead in comparison to how they were prior to the API fiasco.

But it probably depends on tastes too. If you went to Reddit for pet photos or sports discussions or political debates the difference is likely minimal, while if you went there to talk about astrophysics or history, it's probably a lot more noticeable.
