Not at all. The rich need it to maintain some humanity and empathy, not to boost their ego.
Currently LLMs are forward passes only, for each token. You get a final set of data that is statistical in nature. I.e basically a fancy look up table of sorts.

To get more capability, you have to post process that data. For example, you can get the current LLMs into situations where you ask it a question, and it gives an answer, then you ask a clarifying question, and then it gives you something slightly different, then when you ask it to reconcile the two answers, it will say something like "my apologies...", and gives you the final answer.

You could do some clever prompt engineering to automate this whole process (i.e have scripts that call the LLM with certain prompts based on answers), but thats a manual step that someone has to code. Ideally, this process should exist in LLM, and be learned.

Now, you could just train a bunch of LLMs on different concepts and then train a selector on which LLM to use, and do everything with forward pass, but then you have a bunch of redundant models that are taking up space, without any way for those models to talk to each other.

Thats why figuring out RNNs (where a layer could feed data back into a previous layer) training in the context of LLMs would be pretty much the only way to do this.

> the harsh truth is that there is not many people that want to work with people that are true to themselfs (which usually means they have all barriers and filters discarded and are at best annoying and at worst offensive)

That's what I was trying to depict with coffee/barista example. The example highlights the problem: the customer simply wants coffee brought to him, not to meet a new person - perhaps for a small quick back 'n forth chat but that's it. In the work force, people see other people mostly for the services they provide first and foremost and they want it to be a pleasant interaction. They don't care about you, they care about (1) the service and (2) it being pleasant/positive. I get it, I also find it dehumanizing, but I get it.

And it is a harsh truth. I've tested to put my morals/ethics away and just mask my behavior. Suddenly I jive much better in the work force. The only thing I don't jive well with when I do that is my own conscience.

> so if you feel off to them they will write you off as not a cultural fit and by all means they may be right

What I was trying to depict in my previous comment: the harsh truth is that not everyone is enculturated to fit in. Some people never got a real chance to get the memo. That's how talent is wasted. It's an unequal playing field. This is especially true for people in economical disadvantaged positions.

For example, a friend of mine is a teacher and he teaches some economical disadvantaged boys. Those boys believe that being able to beat someone up is actual strength and what it means to be a man. They care about all the stereotype things that a person cares about when living the "thug life". Some will grow up like that in their adulthood, in my experience. For them, it's tough to integrate into any working lifestyle simply because they've had a traumatic past where no one had the culture of trying to solve conflicts with words rather than with violence (speaking from enough experience). Schools try to correct for this and are failing, and I'm speaking from experience in the Netherlands. I can't even imagine what the US is like.

It's an unequal playing field. I've made my peace with that a long time ago since being born in NL is also unequal. But given that, it bares to be repeated. How you grow up determines a lot of how you're encultured into the work force.

Natural selection doesn't care about morality, but it does care about incest, since products of incest—especially after a few generations—tend to be markedly less fit.
Coding hard cut-offs like this into legislation, regulation or policies seems crazy almost to the point of negligence, incompetence or malice. Especially when it's so obvious such cliffs will incentivize behavior certain to cause negative or perverse outcomes. It's even more incomprehensible when implementing graduated thresholds is so well understood.

A related common failure mode is baking in fixed, absolute thresholds for dynamic domains sure to evolve instead of linking thresholds to dynamic metrics (such as inflation, cost of living, etc).

My understanding is that in those early agricultural mesopotamian societies the lines between beer, bread, and porridge were very blurry by modern standards. They didn't so much drink beer with meals as drink a thick, sludgy beer as meals. And that was valued because the malting step increased the availability of the calories.

They also had more familiar-to-us breads, as well as unfermented cooked grain gruels. Again though which of these things you call bread and which beer is a value judgement. Some of the porridges could be drunk and some of the beers thick enough to eat with a spoon.

>The community is entrechend in 1.5 because that's what everyone is now familiar with, IMO

That probably has some weight to the community's decision to still use 1.5.
Other reasons (and more important IMO) why we're still stuck on 1.5 is due to nerfing 2.0, and the plethora of user trained models based on 1.5.

I'm continued to be amazed by the quality possible with 1.5. While there are pros and cons of each of the different offerings provided by other image generators, I haven't seen anything available to the public that can compete with the quality gens a competent SD prompter can produce yet.

SDXL seems to have taken off better than 2.0, but nothing so amazing to justify leaving all the 1.5 models behind.
Tell HN: ChatGPT has become untrustworthy
This has happened for several weeks now with GPT-4:

I ask it how I can do something that I know is possible and just want it to get me the right syntax. It will say "X can't be done with Y but you can use Z, here's how".

I know it's possible so I just say to it "I can't believe doing X with Y is not possible" and it immediatelly says "yes, doing X with Y is possible here's now"... and now I don't know if it's just "complying" or if it's really possible or not (maybe something changed and it's not possible anymore?).

So now I have to go to Google/Kagi and search it myself to confirm it's giving me the right-ish answer and not just playing nice and hallucinating.

I've cancelled my ChatGPT subscription today until/if they can ever get it back to how it was several months ago.

ps.: Claude 3 Opus doesn't seem to suffer from the same issues.
All the Apple store like stores of their partner in Russia are still open and selling the latest iPhones. Apple has removed many russian apps from their app store, but companies are publishing copies under different names.

That's the secret of higher education! Forget about the coursework, forget about the social aspect, forget about exposure to ideas.

Only because you feel the air rushing past, and the impact with the ground.

If you do this in a capsule where the air is moving with you, and avoid hitting the ground, we call the sensation "weightlessness" or "zero g", like is experienced by astronauts in orbit.

Gravity is absolutely acting on astronauts orbiting the earth, at nearly the same strength as if they were standing on the ground. Depending on the shape of the orbit their linear speed may be increasing or decreasing, and they are definitely experiencing directional acceleration as their path bends in a circle around the Earth. But internally there is no bodily sensation of acceleration. It feels the same as floating, or free fall without the air rushing past.

It's amazing how much industry changed CS in the last decade. Significantly more than Academia. Resources is part of it of course, but I also think that the majority of best people in CS choose research labs in industry over academia. No surprise here of course - if openai offers you more than $500K a year, why would you go to academia, make peanuts in comparison and worry about politics for your tenure? Then when they get bored at big tech they raise money and start a company.
Probably a dumb question, but... why massless? If I understand GR correctly, the gravitational field itself (especially in the form of a gravitational wave) has energy, and therefore contributes to the mass-energy tensor, further bending spacetime. Would that correspond to a gauge particle with mass?

I love ginger and one easy one is ginger ale. Simply boiled ginger with sugar and after it cools add baker's yeast, bottle and let it ferment a few days. I started out using wine yeasts, but after it occurred to me that it was only going to ferment for 2-3 days (after that the yeast eats all the sugar and you lose a lot of the flavor) so I just started using whatever baking yeast I had on hand.

Sentry AI Autofix
This is talking about The Stack. The poster says:

"I found two of my old Github repos in there. Both were deleted last year and both were private."

The Stack was constructed a while ago, so "deleted last year" wouldn't have an impact if it was constructed before then.

"Both were private" is the thing that needs to be unpacked here. Were these genuinely private repositories that had never been made public on GitHub?

https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-v2 talks about where the Stack comes from: "This dataset is derived from the Software Heritage archive, the largest public archive of software source code and accompanying development history"

You can search that here: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=simonw... - it would be interesting to know if the OP's "private" repos are included in that collection.

Was any regex documentation unclear on this? Some libraries have modes that change the semantics of ^ and $ but I’ve always found their use to be rather clear. It’s the grouping and look ahead/behind modifiers that I’ve always found hard to understand (at times).
> "Both were deleted last year and both were private"

I'd really like to know if they were ever public at any point because that might explain it.

None of my repos that have always been private are included (apparently).

I mean the official position has always been reasonable, if disappointing. GNOME never had any official support for themes, it was just a concept invented by users who patched the CSS. It's OSS so you can obviously do what you want but they aren't going to support it and reserve the right to make changes that break your themes.

it is impossible to divorce AI from spam. the two go hand in hand. the spam situation will get far far worse than ever imagined with AI. The web will be increasingly clogged with AI-generated content (e.g. videos and articles ) that can do a reasonably good job impersonating human-generated content to the undiscriminating reader. Same for AI-produced research papers, plagiarism, etc. AI-generated content can still be identified, but that is not the point. It has to only be good enough to pass muster for the average person or anyone who is not paying close attention.

It shouldn't be that hard if you really hold them until they are no longer intoxicated.

> while the keyboard based workflows it seems to want to enable are better served by tiling WM such as Sway

This is where I think your analysis starts to break down. Tiling and keyboard-oriented are almost orthogonal. There's no a priori reason that a tiling WM has to be keyboard-oriented, nor that floating WMs are inherently less accommodating to keyboard-oriented workflows. As an anecdote, way back in my youth, I had all kinds of keyboard shortcuts for resizing and moving windows by different amounts in my Openbox WM setups. Likewise, I really tried to like the popular tiling WMs (i3, xmonad, AwesomeWM), but I eventually realized that I can't literally be focusing on content from multiple windows simultaneously, and it makes way more sense for me to size and position each window so that I can optimize my interactions with that one when I am focusing on it.

> do not make sense for the "default" WM that is picked up by casual converts who are used to a point and click system. Overall it's just a confusing mess for new users, which Canonical/System76 rationally get rid of (which is probably a majority of the GNOME user base).

Let's be real, though. The year of Linux On The Desktop is not coming--hell, The Desktop is pretty much dying altogether. So, I really don't care if we optimize for the "casual computer user" who just happens to stumble into a chair in front of a Linux desktop, because that person doesn't exist. It may sound selfish, but I rather they optimize for users who already exist.

> So why does GNOME continue down this path. Is it a fear of being "just like everyone else" by using a tried and true dock/application bar?

GNOME is actually fairly close to macOS in this regard. Yes, macOS has a dock with an application launcher, but if I didn't already know what the application launcher icon looks like, I'd have no idea how to get to its application launcher: the icon I'm looking at right now on my work Mac is a square icon with a 3x3 grid of colored squares inside it--what the hell does that mean? Is it a color picker app? Some kind of Tetris or Candy Crush game?

GNOME's top-left stupid oval button is equally bad, but not worse, than macOS's UX discoverability, IMO.

And I have to wonder how truly "intuitive" the Windows situation is, either. The old Windows versions used to have the word "Start" on the button, which at least gives some kind of hint that my computing journey "begins" there. I think since Vista or 7, it's basically just been the Windows icon. I suspect it's more intuitive than the macOS or GNOME analogs, but probably only a tiny bit if I were to sit someone down who hasn't used a Windows PC in their life.
