Given his experience with AlphaGo/Star/Zero/etc, I'm sure if there's any way to apply tree search, or policy networks, to LLMs, Demis will find it.

I've always found it strange that a LLM is basically an action/value model that scores all next possible actions (tokens), and yet we DON'T traverse it like a tree. Well, "beam search" exists, but that's kind of the most naive approach.

Then again, I'm not smart, and lots of very smart people are thinking nonstop about LLMs, and no type of tree search has become widely used, so maybe there's really nothing there.
i have had goals like that and i did nill to achieve them and i hate myself for it.

Note that NixOS has a unique advantage in that `dlopen` is easier to analyze, but you do have to check for it. A lot of people are looking only at `ldd` and missing that they can be vulnerable at runtime.

I think there's also nuance in what "actively looking" means. Someone might decide to stop actively looking but not permanently retire and instead wait until conditions are different; maybe someone in their 20s or 30s might move back in with their parents for a bit, or maybe someone just decides that living more modestly for a year and then trying again either when more jobs are available or when they're less burnt out. Even less common things, like having to go on disability to to an injury or illness might add up to a decent number when aggregating across an entire country. I think the main point is that the single statistic alone doesn't describe "why" or "for how long", only "how many"; there's (almost literally) a world of potential reasons that aren't necessarily going to be related to any others.

Ah Gordon… just put on your hazmat suit and walk into the chamber in order to prove you’re a human.
Over the years I’ve learned two things when it comes to picking a database when starting a new project

1 - most data is inherently relational

2 - Postgres is pretty good at basically any problem you throw at it, pretty scalably. It will fall over at bonkers amount of scale in some cases but you probably won’t have bonkers amount of scale

Thus, if you want to pick any new data store that isn’t Postgres for your project, the default is Postgres. You have to specifically convince me that Postgres is not good enough for this specific use case if you want me on board for anything else as a data store.

It would be interesting to compare population density of europe vs the rest of the world over history.

I have imagined that europe was always heavily populated, while north america was sparsely populated (allowing endless bison). Might not be that true, maybe europe wasn't that dense, and also disease killed so many when the first europeans arrived.

I hate to be this cynical but are we sure the US hasn't also become a corrupt oligarchy?
From their Git commits, they're in China's time zone.
Several reasons.

First, like most of the Japanese manufacturers, Mazda bet against electric vehicles. They focused R&D on improving engine efficiency and getting their engines to run on hydrogen. If Mazda wants to make electric vehicles now, they have to play catch-up, or license key technologies from other manufacturers.

Second, batteries are heavy. For sedans and mid-size crossovers, this isn't much of a problem. EVs of that class are about the same weight as combustion vehicles. But for a lightweight sports car with decent range, batteries would be a big chunk of the total weight. Tesla's 85kWh battery weighs around 1,200lbs. If your desired weight is 2,500lbs, that only leaves 1,300lbs for the actual car. Yes you can save some weight by making the battery part of the structure, and you don't need an exhaust system, engine block, alternator, intake, etc, but it's still a tough set of constraints to work within.

Why do customers want sports cars to be light? Well all else equal, a lighter vehicle will have better performance. But even when all else isn't equal, vehicle weight can drastically affect driving enjoyment. I have a 4,048lb Model 3 Performance and a 2,182lb Mazda Miata. In terms of specs, the Model 3 is better in every way. It can accelerate, brake, and turn better than the Miata. It even has more range than the Miata. But the Model 3 feels like it's using brute force to beat inertia into submission. (Don't get me wrong, that can be fun.) The Miata is the opposite. Its light weight means that there's very little inertia to overcome, and something about that is extremely satisfying. It's almost like having a street legal go-kart. Until battery technology improves, an electric version just won't have the same appeal.
Stupid question: how can you do deep learning on 1 bit? DL works by calculating a gradient and following it to minimize a loss function, but if all your parameters are 1 bit, there's no such thing as a gradient as you don't have differentiation at all. So how does it work?

Because those of us that have to read your data would highly prefer you just emit standard¹ CSV, and not invent "CSV+my oddball customizations". If you're going to muck about outside the standard format, then you might as well just use DSV from the OP.

Most good implementations are flexible enough that they might be configurable to your proposed pseudo CSV. (Or even DSV. Or USV. Etc.) But I'd rather just not need to, and the sanest default for any CSV library is the standard format.

(Or even better … just emit newline-terminated JSON. Richer format, less craziness than CSV, parsers still abound.)

¹(RFC 4180. "," is field sep, CRLF is row sep. You can escape a comma or a CRLF by surrounding the entire field in double-quotes, and a double quote itself can be escaped by escaping the field, doubling the internal double quote.)
This requires a more comprehensive redesign of the build process. Most Linux distributions also run the tests of the project they're building as part of the build process.
That's one of the advantages of NixOS - viruses and mass hacks have lesser chance to function due to how different this OS is. Until it gets more popular, of course.

CSO is a stormwater industry term for "Combined Sewer Overflow." They happen in older cities where storm runoff and raw sewage (poop) go into the same sewer system. When there is a lot of rain, the wastewater treatment plants overflow, and then raw sewage runs into waterways.

It’s an awesome mentality, but I think it comes out of Netflix being a company that sells to consumers and not enterprises. I work at a big cloud company. We don’t have enough engineers to do the work our customers want us to do. Each piece of work comes from someone spending millions of dollars a year that has executive visibility. Letting someone go means some committed project goes unfunded and an unhappy customer.
I want to encourage you to frame this differently. Rather than seeing a pipeline where a product moves from a building to a selling phase, consider instead a process where you do a tiny bit of selling, then a tiny bit of building, in a loop where the goal is to build a thing so good that a little bit of selling kicks off out-control growth.

Why It's So Expensive to Live in Phoenix
Rather than ChatGPT being a replacement for Google, I've found it complements it pretty well. Questions I never would have searched on Google because of length or complexity are well suited to ChatGPT while the sorts of things I've always gone to Google for I continue to use Google for. Also when ChatGPT spits out a few paragraphs of answer for a complex question I'm not even sure may have an answer, I have some concrete directions to pursue which translate much better to Google search than general/fuzzy complex questions.

At this point saving Google doesn't require replacing the golden goose of Search but rather wrapping it with Gemini/whatever that can decide whether to give an answer it's thought up or returning tailored search results.

It's much more a UX question than a deep technical one. Google has all the pieces it needs, it just needs to package them into a seamless experience. You don't need a mind like Demis' for this...
And if any one of your single stations goes down the line is forced to run at 0% speed. You add sufficient redundancy and perform preventative maintenance so the line doesn't go down. 11 car painting stations is still way easier, cheaper, and safer than building 1 station which is 10 times faster that can never go down.

Yep, my point was that this roughly has the complexity of setting up eg. Supabase.

In conclusion: I would always advice for Postgres over the approach of setting up a volume with sqlite.

The second you need to move on, you need to get that pesky file out of that volume. With Postgres, you just connect to the database from any psql compliant client.
There are two points to the implementation:

* Choice. If I have a separate implementation, my users do not have to be subject to systemd's choices. And I do not either.

* The same implementation will have the same bugs, so in the same way that redundant software has multiple independent implementations, having an independent implementation will avoid the same bugs. It may have different bugs, sure, but my goal would be to test like SQLite and achieve DO-178C certification. Or as close as I could, anyway.
These are the issues https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/why-im-leaving-elm/
Yep. This. It’s impressive how communication is instantaneous, unimpeded, complete and transparent in economics.

You could just apply the standard CSV escaping mechanism, so a single poop in a cell is represented in the file by 4 poop emoji. (Two to quote, one to escape, one as a literal. See RFC 4180 if you're still confused on "why 4?")
I like that, "The Mother of Modern Programming Languages". Perhaps it is better to call C the Latin of programming.

> How anyone can think pointer arithmetic is elegant is beyond me. Especially when the title mentions a language with algebraic data types and higher order functions. Or even just RAII.

I have nothing against algebraic data types. They're great. With respect to elegance, I will refer to nothing more than this (from K&R):

/* strcmp: return <0 if s<t, 0 if s==t, >0 if s>t */
int strcmp(char *s, char *t)
{
for ( ; *s == *t; s++, t++)
if (*s == '\0')
return 0;
return *s - *t;
}

I challenge you to provide a more elegant function with the same specification.

Google's problem isn't lack of engineering talent, it's the absence of competent management. Gemini could be far ahead of GPT-4 or whatever OpenAI comes out with next. It won't matter unless they actually build a profitable business around running an AI. This should be feasible, but so far there's no indication of this happening.

The infrastructure is there. The institutional knowledge and engineering talent is there. Google can do this if they return to their core mission statement: "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." This is in contrast to their current objective, which from the outside seems to be "To maximize next quarter's ad revenue."

I would love to see a return of the old Google. No amount of engineering skill will make up for clueless management.
Yes, there's quantum computers and information with fundamental tests of quantum mechanics, condensed matter with superconductors, soft Condensed matter in Biophysics with dna and protein folding, computational physics that underpins huge swaths of theoretical chemistry. There's many many other fields of physics, each with dozens of exciting projects going on right now.

Particle physics/cosmology is closest in some sense to "fundamental physics". Its also, as i understand, the most competitive field in physics right now with the highest achieving theoretical mathematician people (i.e. the super geniuses) but that's also an effect of the slowly drying funding making the field more selective. It's by no means the only field in physics and there are extremely intelligent and hard working people in all fields of physics doing high impact, world changing research because they love it.

That tool looks really cool! We hadn't come across that one before, but we did look into a lot of embedding solutions back when we were making these kinds of presentations regularly.

I think with Thorntale we're actually trying to take a slightly different route to a solution; being the actual presentation tool is going to unlock a lot of interactivity features that exporting to powerpoint probably can't ever do. Hopefully we'll be able to show some of those off after a few more months of dev!

- people wait less to get their order taken.

- when the worker consumes the entire "needs to order" queue before starting to make anyone's drink.

The problem isn't who has the best LLM, but how can you monetize a LLM the way you monetize search. Can you apply keyword auctions on LLMs and then have links? Will that work? We don't know, and I haven't read any concrete study on the issue.
This might be an explanation of the development of consciousness, but it does little to explain what consciousness actually is.

> In order to compete, they need to adapt, hence they develop consciousness.

The "hence" here is not a necessary implication. Plants also compete and adapt, but they don't have consciousness. Also, they have not lost the competition with animals. As a whole, I suppose they have better chances of survival than animals.
In addition to the other good answers here:

If your product isn't ready and your competitor's is, you lose contracts and possibly life time customers.
> accelerating climate change, enabling various forms of crime, and doing financial damage to many people who have been convinced to put their savings into various ponzi schemes

Bitcoin accelerates climate change - no other cryptocurrency has a measurable environmental impact. The internet also enabled various forms of crime. Bank wires do financial damage to people who invest in ponzi schemes, in more volume than blockchain transactions do if I'm not mistaken.

Basically, I don't look at distributed ledger systems and think immediately of all the crimes that they enable. But I also don't look at a knife and immediately think of all the crimes that have been committed with knives. On the other hand though I've never known anyone who was a victim of a knife-related crime, so perhaps my opinion would be different if that were the case.
apparently for some people they do lol
I understand why you went for a product search engine (gotta monetize) but I think one of the reasons mining reddit for intel is so helpful is you aren't always being sold a product.
