It may also be that establishing which people you need to sample to substantiate somebody’s claims of lineage, gathering the consent and the samples (potentially across jurisdictions), testing to judicial standards, and procuring expert interpretation involves a fair amount of professionals’ time and energy, as well as substantial cost. It seems like much of the judicial system depends on things being largely within the realm of the reasonably imaginable, and this crime is so weird. I mean—sustaining that level of imposture for 35 years? A sane-seeming person being able to document 35 years of living under this name, in formal paperwork that’s legible to the state? When is that ever the most likely explanation?

I think back over the number of marginal people I’ve met, many of whom are in altered mental states either temporary or permanent, who claim to be secretly Rothschilds, or spurned princes, or reincarnated deities, or representatives of extraterrestrial species… while the long delay in applying technology here delayed the fix to a travesty, I understand why the policy for the routine use of that technology may be what it is.

If anything, I’d be curious how the detective got authorization to apply so much time and so many resources to running this claim to ground.

So, basically you want to renege on the social contract that's been in place since the 1930s, and replace it with layers of bureaucrats?

This results in people who are in their declining years having to supplicate themselves if they want to avoid ruin.

That's inhumane. Means testing is a way to throw away massive amounts of money on administration, instead of sending it where it needs to go, in order to help the citizens.

He listens to me and appreciates my feedback on subjects like this.

He told me once that he would prefer that people did not share his tweets or any stuff he shares online. He doesn't really like, nor is he interested in, all the attention.
If we get technical enough you can have a decentralized search index that's automatically distributed in a torrent-like manner so it's possible with some AI models that eventually, after a year or so, you almost don't hit the network when you search.

But nobody from the business circles wants that outcome.

Open LLMs can use grammar-based sampling to guarantee syntactically correct JSON is produced, surprised OpenAI never incorporated anything like that.
True, and SRE teams get smaller and smaller and/or tasked to do other non-related things. So when users start leaving for some competitor, the same SRE team suddenly gets more heat, pressure, more belt tightening, more meetings "for transparency and coordination", and directly and indirectly more blame. Ask me how I know... I bet its a story as old as time though.

> That's just a bias.

I'm beginning to assume you're an LLM, because I'm not convinced a human would honestly try to argue that their emotional reaction to their favourite songs is basically equivalent to flipping the values of some bits to ensure that they generate music more similarly to them.

> That's a horrible strawman. Do you as programmer often read and write bytecode directly?

As an improvising guitarist (even a very mediocre one) my creative process is even further removed from an LLM parsing and generating sound files directly....
I mean goroutines are not exactly coroutines nor are they threads they are somewhere in between.

And its pretty easy to use the same workflow as goroutines in C++ using std::thread and a concurrent queue implementation, tbb has a decent one and moodycamels is also very good.

It's actual async/await that is a touch annoying but it's also fundamental building blocks, there are currently few abstractions ontop of it.

I also believe strongly async/await is an antipattern. There are better models to handle concurrency well imho that don't use function colouring. Golangs goroutines and channels (effectively actors but that's a can of worms) are a great solution and probably what you should be reaching for instead of async/await.
sure, but basically the belief in Freudianism as being a scientifically accurate truth prevalent in the 20th century led to all sorts of these silly phallic metaphors.

I remember one that I read when I was a teen - intro to soft science book supposed that rockets were phallic in shape because man wished to rape outer space.

So every now and then I'm thinking finally done with that codswallop and suddenly it jumps out at you from an unexpected place.
Search is less about answers and more about finding the right questions to ask.

I think some are able to better guess what the user wants because the users dont know how to ask questions.
You don't get fresh air in cities. It's different to deeply breathe in air on a trail surrounded by trees with no cars in sight than to stand on the balcony and breathe in the contaminated air of even smaller cities.

I used to only go out to do grocery shopping, but then I started exercising by cycling, and now, when I don't get out near the woods for three days, I get a real crisis. After breathing in fresh air for 30 mins or so I feel much, much better.
I've had a lot of problems changing my name with my bank in the UK to a name of a different gender. Despite bringing a valid deed poll signed by two witnesses that stated someone with my old name is now using my new name, validating I owned my card with my PIN and bringing along my passport showing that the person with my previous name did indeed look like me, they denied my request saying that "Anybody could do that"... which I believe is sort of the point
Did you read the article? Clearly not. Gtfo.
I was thinking of if AI systems could be composed of multiple internal agents that when prompted are supposed to discuss internally and agree on what to reply in the end. Some of the agents could be LLMs but others could be logic engines or database frontends for instance.

Thanks. Interesting.

In France, where I am, awareness campaigns recommend sticking to a maximum of 2 glasses per day, for men, 1.5 for women. and not every day.
And these values only take into account protection against serious health problems, such as stroke, not the problems of moderate daily alcohol consumption, such as for example the fact that alcohol being a depressant, consumption will have a impact on their general well-being.

To be honest, I'm even more confused on what to think about this paper.
> My manager raised my non-participation as an example of how my attitude was turning too negative for the team. I'd find out from recorded team meetings when I was out sick or on vacation that they'd crack jokes about it when I wasn't around.

That's workplace bullying.
a robot arm capable of doing the dishes is also capable enough to manipulate a knife (commonly found in kitchens) in a stabbing motion. Not intentionally, of course, but the sci-fi story of this going bad writes itself. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, I'll be the first in line to buy a robot arm sink dishwasher, but robotics is dangerous, even when not piloting a several ton vehicle down the road.
I really don't follow, the arrow is static on the knob, wherever you turn the knob the arrow will keep pointing the same direction with the same meaning "turn clockwise for colder".
You just gave three possible alternatives, how is that not a perfect example for a non-trivial design decision?

Also, the simple fact that they quite clearly got it wrong, is the 2nd indicator that it a non-trivial thing.
This seems vaugely similar to C# Code Contracts. The difference there is that it was embedded as an assertion into the method:

Contract.Requires(start > 0);
Contract.Ensures(someReturn != null);

I loved it. It gave you much (not all) of that "if it compiles it works" good vibes that Rust has. Though, oh boy, were you in for a surprise if you think that Rust compiles slowly. You could probably do something similar with C:

CONTRACT_REQUIRE(x == 0 || x == -1);
if(x) {
void* result = malloc(1);
CONTRACT_ENSURE(result != null);
CONTRACT_CALLER(free(result));
return result;
} else {
CONTRACT_ENSURE(result == 0);
return 0;
}

The nice thing about that is you could have a compatibility .h that asserts/nops the macros, making the code compile in ignorant compilers.
Even regular compilers need quite a bit of nudging to give deterministic results.

Similarly, much of Europe scores higher on the Democracy Index than the US. The US loves to say how democratic it is, but it's democratic in a few specific ways and misses out on most other aspects. The 538 podcast did a good breakdown of this a year or two ago.
Table titles should be either centered above, or captioned below. Left-aligning them above any column instantly conveys a generally false/unintended impression of the title being a top level in the information hierarchy of the table. In the modernist makeover above I was immediately uneasy that the title stipulated “names, addresses, characteristics” whilst apparently aligned to exclude the names.

In contrast the census manual chooses to center almost all labels within their box, and when not it is almost always due to indentation, and moreover is unafraid to set column widths to fit the data not the labels, with indent and hyphenation to match. The result is both horizontally compact and intuitively comprehensible.

edit: on further reflection I also think it’s a crappy title. Titles and captions should convey context, scope, purpose - and may otherwise be omitted entirely for the editorial sin of failing to justify their own existence. As given, this one could be retitled “Table 1” with no loss of information or generality. For an article that’s trying to discuss and reformulate tabular presentation from first principles, that’s a tad disappointing. Since table titles form a crucial layer of their information catalogue, it is hardly surprising that the census manual devotes an entire chapter to the matter of title construction, and even though somewhat domain specific and archaically worded it is well worth the visit
Wake me up when I can actually sign up to use it. Anthropic demand a phone number, and won't accept mine, presumably because it's from Google Voice.

I thought it was a clever relatable way to explain the concept of the Pareto frontier. And that of the 703560 builds, you can pick just 14 and choose among those depending on what you prefer was a surprise to me.
This is our thinking as well, a complete rewrite in another language (short of formally verifying the code) could introduce all sorts of logical bugs that did not exist or were patched in the old code.
This wouldn't surprise me, given that Amex does have a consumer reputation for being very friendly for disputes. That factors in two ways: a successful dispute means that the merchant is completely out that money, and every dispute also costs something like $25 to handle regardless of whether the merchant ultimately wins or loses.
ReFT: Representation Finetuning for Language Models
Are you saying that the mechanism does not exist or are you saying that it's not pushed into critical regions all that often?

If it's the latter, I certainly agree that it's an area where opinions can legitimately vary a lot and I would not pick "it happens very often!" as a hill to die on. If it's the former, I vehemently disagree. At some point, everybody leaves except the terminally greedy. Perhaps that point is never reached (I doubt it, but I respect options to the opposite), but the point exists.

OK, so you remove Hamas and al-Qassam brigades. Now what?

Business as usual, for sure. PIJ would likely fill the vacuum, continue _their_ rocket attacks, and not be as restrictive and predictable as the al-Qassam brigades. Mujahideen brigades and DFLP:s and PFLP:s military wings would also fire some rocket salvos when they think it's appropriate, for example when people affiliated with them in the West Bank are arrested or harassed by Israel.

And you could go on, keep starving and bombing and on and on like Israel has done for more than a decade. Either you commit genocide or you endure the violent resistance or you make peace, and every time you 'mow the lawn' you raise the barrier to peace.

But this passes:

int * p;
p = malloc(1);
if(f) {
free(p);

And this doesn't, as expected:

void x(int f) {
int * p;
p = malloc(1);
if(f) {
free(p);
}
if(f) {

}

edit: another assertion failure:

f = !f;

OpenAI doesn't give you a way to identify the user.

I didn't say that and I'm not sure what the fallacy you just employed is called.

It's cruel and inhumane to forcibly remove someone's access to something they are personally and emotionally invested in. It's cruel and inhumane to force one's own view of a “good life” on someone who obviously disagrees.

The real challenge of parenting is to find ways to help your child without resorting to cruelty. Your fallacy is to assume that cruelty is necessary and that anyone who criticizes the cruelty must somehow be criticizing the desire to help.
