Hi! I'm Tristan, a Recent graduate in C.S. from Sorbonne University in Paris but based in the Washington D.C. area. Lately, I have been working on interactive 3D interfaces for music discovery with personalized recommendations using neural nets, pixel shaders for rendering weather forecasts, and real-time lidar processing and shading for augmented reality with a Kinect.

My projects are driven by intellectual curiosity, sometimes originating from conversations with my friends. I enjoy doing the research to achieve unique results. Here are some of my projects: https://tristancharpentier.com/projects.html

Good for them. We need a counterbalance to the political chaos being stoked by white supremacists and the CIA. We live in a post-truth democracy, let the people decide whose lies to believe!
This definitely looks up my ally. I'm not seeing the Staff Frontend Engineer role on the page. I only see "Senior Product Engineer."
Wow, this is awesome. I tried Beam mode. It does produce better results!

I'd sort of say its two fold:

1. the object in question would need to behave in a conscious way
2. I'd have to look in the guts of the object and see evidence of some kind that the processes I was observing were inherent in the design of the thing.

To clarify a bit about the second point: I can talk to a phone with a person on the other end of it and it can demonstrate some properties of consciousness. If I didn't know what phones were I'd be tempted to identify this behavior with consciousness if not for the second criteria. In the case of a phone, if we take it apart and see how it works we can see that it is fit to transmit a voice from somewhere else, but not to generate the complex responses I was observing in the conversation.

Obviously the case of a language model, for instance, is significantly more complicated, since it does have some of the behaviors of a consciousness and some of the structures, but my hunch is that it doesn't really have enough of either to count. Definitely not discounting the possibility that we'll have artificial consciousnesses some day, I'm just skeptical language models are it.

If you don’t share a specific example, I don’t know what to tell you. However:

Exactly my point.. glorifying any political anything is the definition of polarizing.

I live in Mexico and it's Dani here and in many Spanish speaking countries. I go by Dan and that form is pretty much never used so it causes a lot of confusion.

Cool post regardless.

States have a similar setup patterned off the federal government, with most things falling only in the purview of the states. In this case they're correctly making sure that vaccines delivered as food are correctly treated as such under the framework here https://unicourt.github.io/cic-code-tn/transforms/tn/octn/r7...

Considering the active development this is very forward thinking and timely
Since you asked for anecdote from someone in any field, I'll give you my thoughts as another SWE.

I quit my job to work on something I care about, and it has been the best decision of my life so far. There are no directions or signs to guide me, besides just trying and finding out.

Juggling a job, life stuff, and trying to fit in time for potentially life changing stuff like this is not a good idea imo.

I always crushed it at work (EE in every performance review, paid highest band of salary, etc.), and have chased excellence in everything I tried since some of my biggest failures in my early life which set me back years. Anyway...

Having a job is the average case. If you believe in yourself, and know that you are competent, do not not worry. Do you have savings (big tech? I'm sure you do) and a plan?

Go for it if you have savings and a plan. You can always find a job, there will always be jobs out there for people like us. If it works out, you will be happy. Don't take advice from risk averse people if you're capable!

Either way, if you feel deeply about something you should go for it and figure it out. Good luck!

It’s not a throwaway account, I just like the name.

I’m fine with those companies selling well because they’re doing the same thing as Hyundai/Kia are doing.
And they didn't really open source anything. I thought they were better than Nvidia in that regard, but they're not.

They only open sourced the API. It's still closed firmware just like Nvidia.

Nailed it!
So, no, that's a mischaracterization. The Anthropic Principle isn't an explanation or a theory. It's not even science, it's just a philosophical argument putting a boundary around "Things that Make Sense to Talk About". Basically: "If things weren't the way they are we wouldn't be here to talk about them, so let's just not"

> Panpsychism says that it doesn't matter how life evolved, because the universe is aware as a matter of fact, so the particulars are unimportant,

Which is almost exactly a paraphrase of the concept I just elucidated. But with some weird religious imagery attached. I find that uninteresting.
Chrome is good browser, Google is evil. Ungoogled chromium is a project that removes all reference to Google. Bit tricky to get the extensions work, but once it's setup works like charm.
Subdomains are basically restarting your domain reputation from scratch. I would use the apex domain and a validator in most cases, as long as you're doing the right thing and maintaining list health. Obviously mega-corps might be different and have needs for subdomains.

I’m of Lebanese heritage and grew up speaking, reading and writing Arabic but then moved to Australia and never looked back for over 20 years. I’m slowly losing my ability to speak Arabic so I make a point of doing so when speaking to my parents nowadays. I also really love that tools like this exist so I can refresh myself. It’s a very sad thing to lose one’s mother tongue.
I know it’s not the same dialect since it’s Egyptian but it’s easy enough to tell apart when I started reading. Still helpful!

This is substantially what I think too. It's terribly sad, but events cluster sometimes for no strong reason, and in a population/cohort as large as Google, this kind of thing will happen.

I was in a 40 person research company which had a suicide and a massive fraud event (unrelated people, unrelated events) -both of which made me appreciate the random quality in life. The local ABC TV broadcast/production site had a cancer cluster which was extensively researched, no commonalities were found, it was simply one of those things (7 or more women with cancers over a 15-20 year period)

You don't always get to know why buses come in three.
Awesome feature! Quick question, how do you choose which model to use when you "fuses" multiple beams back into one?
I would agree, but your statement makes it sound as if they are disjointed. You need to have both.

(I would also push back a bit that a PhD adds immense value. Many that do get paid well via IP and start-ups, but that’s a better interface with the economy. There are many in my experience that add little more than a credential)

This is definitely a thing, it first started getting obvious on Tiktok with Tourette's.
Can this be potentially dangerous -- e.g. if a user types "The answer to the expression 2 + 2 is", isn't there a chance it chooses an output beyond the most likely one?
Looks like they do but aren't really documented yet:

Not really. This was the first widely deployed modified adenovirus vaccine. Not the first developed, but if I'm remembering correctly, none of the others made it out of trials.
Won't 20dB at each end do the job? You can get 16-17dB antennas for $35 these days. And a wire parabolic dish promising 23dB for $200.

7-10dB matches the antennas I personally use, but those antennas are smaller than my phone. You can get a lot more out of a three foot spike or a two foot dish.

(I'm assuming 2.4GHz and hoping they're not lying about the gain.)

Not all cancerous tumors are really dangerous or worth treating. For example, prostate cancer is common among elderly men and they often die of something else before the tumor causes serious symptoms.
That would be right in a world where Corporations do no collaborate with the State, or lobby the State to get the laws they want.

I was comparing about ten compression algos for compressing json data. Mainly needing something reasonably fast and good compressing. zstd did well, but brotli absolutely crushed it at every metric. Of course, it's a data point of one, but it exists.
The problem is that it’s both. Apple intentionally obfuscates the two: they make privacy changes and then mix anticompetitive actions into it too, and then labels both under “security”. This harms their overall argument.

A priori, the ratio of people disgusted with stupid vs people attracted to stupid is not 1:1. I tend to optimism it skews to rational over irrational, but Godwin's law says local distortions can happen.

In this case, its literally "put your money where your mouth is" which tends to the rational. I think people attracted to Musk's stupidity and with disposable income are fewer than people disgusted by it, and with the same disposable income.

Sorry to disagree but my non-statistical gut feel is, you're probably not right.

Same. I like using Opus | Gpt-4 | Gemini Pro (I don't have Ultra) | Mistral Large.
Care to elaborate on the details of the distinction? I think I get the gist, but I’m not sure how much it matters in practice (given the above comment about leverage).

E.g., a hedge fund manager is paid handsomely for if they extract value, but that same extraction is value generation for their clients. It feels like two sides of the same zero sum coin.

I'm increasingly feeling like GM and Ford are about to have their lunches eaten by the competition. FCA already fell. I just don't understand what they're doing.

It's like they look at premium EV brands, like Tesla, Polestar, Lucid, etc, of the world and say "it must be the electric engine" without actually considering why people are paying a premium for those vehicles.

They literally just stuck electric batteries in vehicles and tried to charge twice the price without delivering the rest of the experience.

The interiors are still largely plastic. The infotainment systems largely used crappy displays with laggy inputs. Vanity components wear extremely quickly. Technology/features are almost always behind comparably priced foreign-designed cars.
This reminds me of the video I think Technology Connections did on old TV censoring equipment back in the 70s. I think it ended up being a simple filter over the subtitle information or similar but thought of this from your comment.

With Beam, we can easily experiment approaches such as Chain-Of-Though-with-Self-Consistency (CoT-SC) and other reasoning meta framework, but with more manual control. I always had issues using LLM's chat driven interface to figuring out/explore issues that i'm interested, since conversation/chats is always linear while reasoning/working on some ideas is structural. Beam seems to be a much better UX than the linear chat UX that saves me a lot of copy and paste and save and retry. Awesome work!

I am talking about the initial anount only.

I print too little for my personal needs, sometimes I print several papers going up to ~300 pages in (mostly) black and white. That too, once in 2-3 months.

So, the consumable costs are too little to make a real dent.
So you're very much in the Pragmatist camp, something is only true if it's useful?

Personally, I find it impossible to choose to believe something, all things equal, just because I like the implications. The doubt will always be in the back of my mind, "But what if it's not really true?"

I hold to compatabilism. As far as I can tell, the universe unfolds according to natural laws, and we're no exceptions. But we have agency over our own lives, the decisions we will make matter, and we're free in every way that's meaningful.
