Wasn't your question about how *independent* the data is?

We could talk about this in different ways, like variance. But I'm failing to see how I didn't answer your question. Did I misscommunicate? Did I misunderstand?

The model is learning off of statistics so most of your information gain would be through more independent data. Think of this space we are talking about as "knowledge." And our "intelligence" as how easy it is to get to any point in this space. The vector view above might help with understanding this one, because you can step in the direction of any vectors you have and then how you combine them to get to your final point. The question is how many you have to use (how many "steps" away)? And of course, how close you can get to your final destination. As you can imagine, from my previous comment, that doing this for any given point you'll reduce "steps" to your final destination if you have more vectors, but you can also understand that the utility of each vector decreases as you add more. (Generally. Of course if you have a gap in knowledge you can get a big help from a single vector that goes into that area but let's leave that aside).

Does this help clarify? If not I might need you to clarify your question a bit more. (I am a ML researcher fwiw)
Historically, they would not had that many vegetables available to eat daily either. Likewise, meat was quite expensive. In quite a lot of places, beans and such vegetable proteins were not available all that much on regular basis. Majority of contemporary diets, including keto, vegan, vegetarian were impossible or expensive. Raising bees for honey is not a new thing by any standard.

Another thing is that historically, malnutrition was a thing, not just something rare. The people would be getting serious diseases or be dying because of this or that missing in the food, there were whole epidemics of diseases that basically do not exist anymore.

Best advice I can offer is know your limits and that requires knowing how and when to say "No". Others have mentioned raising rates, and that works to a degree, but ultimately you have to be able to say "No" when your capacity is maxed out.

Not OP, but I believe for most companies including IBM the policy was "anyone residing within Russia who did not wish to or could not relocate outside of Russia" would be terminated. If you did relocate (and I believe some assistance was provided) then you were fine.

I believe we know, based on any definition of knowing - I.e. assuming we can know anything at all, and realizing that any definitions of knowing are all circular to an extent, that the electron follows some laws.

I agree that the universe doesn't care how we approximate these laws, but only that they clearly exist.

If these laws exist, they are certainly not material, unless you redefine material, and that is why I am no longer a materialist :)
I think you have this exactly right. They are so good at what you might call "hallucinations" that we have just gone ahead and repurposed them, dropping them into all kinds of contexts where it's good enough, even though it's not what it's strictly trained for.

Rather than hallucinations being treated like an interesting puzzle or paradox at the center of AI intrinsically, I think it's incidental to the types of models that have been trained, and it's conceivable that they could be trained against a notion of reliable sources and the relation between their statements and such sources.

That's not the same argument. Some people claim that CO2 increase does not cause temperature increase and therefore temperature increase is not anthropogenic (which is what your link is debunking), but nobody claims that the CO2 increase itself is not anthropogenic.

Zuck should first fix Facebook. With the latest Chrome and built-in privacy options turned on, I get logged out of Facebook and Messenger every 5 or fewer minutes. Also, meta.ai does not work for me either - it asks me to log in via Facebook and then does nothing—it only works when I clear all cookies and it asks me to log in via Facebook. What a stinky, steamy mess!

The whole Meta properties are turning into a similar mess. Facebook started to look like MySpace, which died because it became super slow and unpleasant to use!

Most teenagers don't want to touch Facebook or Instagram — the latter being used only by girls with severe narcissistic disorders. Most kids blatantly tell me Facebook is what old folks use. They mostly use Discord nowadays, not WhatsApp.

The paper references Martin Fowler's article on Continuous Integration, and Fowler has updated his article to note some areas of friction the PR & code review process introduces into CI[1].

I've noticed in my consulting places where the PR process runs into problems.
Many companies attempting to adopt CI/CD and modern code review haven't set clear guidelines for the PR process.
Different programmers have conflicting expectations about all the metrics mentioned here, and leadership just says "do PRs" without much more guidance.

There was a poorly implemented customer support system that I worked with once that due to the way the app worked, support could run a query that would essentially scan the entire database, predictably it'd hit a proxy timeout. So what happened instead was they would open 10+ tabs doing the exact same query hoping one would get lucky and succeed, and we had to figure out why our database was getting ddos'd. Trying to explain that they were actually making the issue worse with the workaround was very painful, saying stuff like "well what did you change, it was working fine for months."
How would that work exactly? I am not well informed in this arena..

I think so. His views were somewhat rigid and materialist. As a de-fluffer, he's great, and I'm sure he will continue to be quoted especially as we make progress on AI and get into the nuts and bolts of consciousness. In particular which things are extraneous or peripheral to the problem itself.

My current decision tree is like that.

Web applications that can be broken into pages (displaying data) and forms: Laravel (default choice), Livewire

Do I need to have full interactivity on the frontend (Ex. Map, Media player,…): Svelte or Vue

Is it a project that I won't maintain: React (it's easier to find devs).

Do I have time to develop the backend for the SPA: Lumen, Express.js or a micro-framework in one of the languages I like (go,…)

No for the above: I used to go with Firebase. But I've look at others and they're pretty much the same thing.

When I was using Firebase, I've always coded defensively to avoid relying on its features. With React, I've built a layer of functions that interact with Firebase, then built my business logic out of hooks that use those functions. Moving to my own backend can be done with just reimplementing this layer. React-Query was my backup for the realtime capabilities of firestore.
Sure, I do not advise people to go learn COBOL either. In fact, I never learned COBOL, they were writing COBOL at the first place I "worked" as a teenager† and it was clearly not the future.

† in the UK there was a discrepancy between what happens to the sort of teenager who exhibits talent and interest in an area like writing software, who is sent to just watch adults doing that and mostly doesn't do any actual work themselves as "Work Shadowing", versus those whose direction seems more... manual who are expected to actually go do stuff in the same period, supervised by adults of course, but still very much doing the actual work, "Work Experience". This seems very obviously unfair, although of course as the teenager who wasn't expected to actually do much I wasn't complaining at the time...

That's not to say that LLMs are currently a poor fit for many domains (and maybe always will be), but I feel like your general objection would apply to many – and even deterministic – models we've been using for a long time as well.

Or would you say that weather forecasts are completely useless as well?
Thank you for the explanation.

What I don't like about this, is that we take the observations, apply some custom guesses as to why the spacetime is folded differently and... there you go, your formulas now match. It smells too much like the explanation of geocentric system, where they invented that planets also circle around a perceived dot on their trajectory path and that happily coincides with the Earth's rotation.

I think what we are missing is that these behaviors need to be predictable. We don't know where these anomalies in spacetime curvature will be and why they are there. And as I stated in another comment here, I think dark matter is a bad name for the unexplained spacetime curvatures (warpings?, wrinkles?).

I used to worry about organizing files because searching was something I only did by hand. I still often do it by hand, but I know I am doing it wrong.

Anyway I don't worry about organization as much because a hand search might take five minutes. Organizing files is never done because nobody understands someone else's organization. When it comes to file organization, present self quickly becomes someone else and the Documents folder contains an oldDocuments folder contains a Documents folder with an oldDocuments folder and so on.

Date is the most reliable way to organize files. It is monotonic.

Climate change due to industrial emissions of CO2 has been known and published in mainstream news articles since at least 110 years ago.[0][1]

It's been known and discussed in public by professional scientists for over 140 years[2].

The great inaugural Nobel Prize winner, Arrhenius, wrote a paper on the topic in 1896[3] which cited Fourier's publication from 1827[4].

More generally, global greenhouse effect of CO2 has been known for at least 185 years[4], a decade before the last founding father of the United States died.

A community approach to making the AI more explainable
Hi Friends ,

A well-crafted prompt can drive the desired result from LLM's .Andrej
Karpathy said it best in one of his twitter threads "The hottest new programming language is English".

We've build a platform called "The Prompt Square" is a community-driven platform, where users can share, discover, and test AI prompts in real time .Each prompt is analyzed for its purpose, topic, category, and driving keywords, also users can try out prompts and discuss results in real-time .

Being an interactive platform, features like commenting and rating , allow users to evaluate responses and contribute collectively on a better understanding of model behavior .
There's still a lot of work to be done.We've just launched the mvp currently having 12 users .
Here is the link https://www.thepromptsquare.com/.

We think it has potential ,what do you think ?
