I don't have any exact references, but multiple finetuning datasets have used curated GPT-3/4 conversations as training data. It's less that they're overtly superior to human data, and more that they're less-bad and more abundantly available.

> Like, how could this even theoretically work?

I'm not really an expert on it either, but my understanding is that it works the same way curating human data works. You sift through the garbage, nonsense, impolite and incoherent AI responses and only include the exemplary conversations in your training set.

It feels kinda like the "monkeys on typewriters writing shakespeare" parable. If you have enough well-trained AIs generate enough conversations, eventually enough of them will be indistinguishable enough from human data to be usable for training.
When I left PANW in the late 2010s the platform team was still on Python 2.6, I think, and the snippets in this write-up are valid 2.x code. It's very possible that this hasn't been touched in a decade beyond whatever was necessary to get to 3.6, which is itself 2+ years past its shelf date. That's a bigger and slightly more abstract problem than not running a mediocre linter.

> The reason systemd has succeeded in becoming an SysV init replacement is simple: it did the work. Not only did it put together a lot of good ideas regardless of their novelty or lack thereof but its developers put in the time and effort to convince people that it was a good idea, the right answer, a good solution to problems and so on. Then they dealt with lots and lots of practical concerns, backwards compatibility, corner cases, endless arguments, and so on and so forth. I want to specifically mention here that one of the things the systemd people did was write extensive documentation on systemd's design, how to configure and operate it, and what sorts of neat things you can do with it. While this documentation is not perfect, most init systems are an order of magnitude less well documented.

[snip]

> You can call this marketing if you want, although I don't think that that's a useful label for what is really happening. I call this 'trying' versus 'not trying'. If you don't try hard and work hard to become a replacement init system, it should be no surprise when you don't.

[snip]

> Since that may not be clear, let me be plain: systemd is a better init system than the alternatives. It does more to solve real problems and it does it better. That alone is a good reason for it to win in the practical world, the one where people care about getting stuff done. That systemd is not necessarily novel or the first to come up with the ideas that it embodies is irrelevant to this. Implementation matters more than ideas.

> The Dartmouth conference has become an origin myth... Of course, the origin myth served to empower these men to tell their own story. And it's a story full of erasure... We hear nothing in that origin myth about the relationship that AI has to industrialization or to capitalism or to these colonial legacies of reserving reason for only certain kinds of people and certain kinds of thinking.

It would be nice if instead of harping on this point they actually told what they think the missing story is.

If they think that AI is missing certain kinds of thinking - by all means tell me what they are concretely. Like i don't know if i buy that lack of diversity in earlier AI research meant that the AI research only allowed certain kind of "thinking" (AI doesn't really match anybody's thinking regardless of race), but i would be interested in a well researched argument that it did and what those other kinds of thinking are.

I think the problem fundamentally is that these stories tend to be platitudes (lack of diversity = bad) but don't actually go deep into what that concretely means. Ultimately i want something that makes me think about the topic in new ways; you need to dig beyond the surface to do that.

It's something you are supposed to learn in history class and there are many, many topics that you should learn from history at some point in your life. A news publication is not a replacement for history class and is probably one of the worst places to get a complete view of history.
I don't think there's much audience that thinks they're doing a good job, but there are very different reasons for those opinions.

On one hand, you have the majority of bewildered moderates who are increasingly annoyed about getting a lecture about their "privilege" every time they want to read the news, and seeing everything reduced to a small set of talking points in a very forced and artificial manner.

On the other hand, you have genuine progressives who very much buy into the whole privilege stuff etc, but at the same time they are broadly anti-establishment, and - quite rightly - see traditional news media, including NPR, as establishment. To that audience, it just all feels like a very crude and meaningless attempt to pander to them to get their attention (and money). If they want news told from an authentic perspective that aligns with theirs, they are much more likely to get it from podcasts, blogs etc.

The end result is that nobody is happy.
Older episodes of RadioLab are absolute gems. Around the time Robert Krulwich retired I noticed a palpable shift. The new hosts' motivation shifted from inform to influence.

Libraries are excellent gatekeepers for content quality. Generally, library books are scrutinized and determined as "worth paying for".

Previously, publishers would do similar due diligence - someone at the house would actually read the book, if not work with authors.

Due diligence of this nature is not now particularly common. There is no cost risk with a digital book. It could be, and often is, written by those without the talent to match their ambition. If one is looking for new authors to read, it's very difficult to sort through the dreck.

Let the libraries sort through the dreck for you. Pro-tip: gift your local library a mere $100. They'll love you for it and invite you to all sorts of interesting gatherings. You might meet a good book, or even better, a good person.

Yours seems a good practice. But apart from having concentrated it in the outer function, you have not reduced the cleanup burden. In fact, the outer function might grow out of control if the number of resources increases. In your example, should you allocate foo and bar after stack and map, you need to remember to add the respective destroy's to all failure path, and possibly in the correct reversed order (which you don't show in your code for map & stack, by the way). You'll soon find yourself with 4 identical calls to intstack_destroy() to maintain.

Instead, I'll advocate for a cleanup section at the end similar to

cleanup:
if (bar) bar_destroy(bar);
if (foo) foo_destroy(foo);
if (map) intmap_destroy(map);
if (stack) intstack_destroy(stack);
return res;

And I would replace all the if (!something) with, e.g.

if (!map) {
res = regex_out_of_memory;
goto cleanup;
}

Thanks! Basically the language and the rules are the same, but there are a few differences. For example, in European Portuguese, a silent 'c' and 'p' are often retained in words like "acção" (action) and "óptimo" (optimal), whereas in Brazilian Portuguese, these letters have been dropped to become "ação" and "ótimo". Also, there are some words that are different like the word for "bus" in Brazil is "ônibus," whereas in Portugal, it's "autocarro". Overall, european portuguese is more formal, and brazilian, more casual.

Yeah, in the workshops I've run in the past (not tech related), having upfront questions that you can curate and research ahead of time can really help get the conversation going. But also leave time for in-person questions, because otherwise the audience can feel ignored when they really want to ask you something.

And as you said, not every workshop is the right fit for every participant, and that's fine! In my case, if your workshop happened to be nearby, I'd probably go check it out "just cuz". I don't meet a lot of data viz people in my rural area (Central Oregon).

If it required travel, I'd gladly go if my employer would pay for it (they won't, because it's not relevant to my current job). For me to be willing to take a day off work and pay for travel expenses & registration fees myself, probably the only thing that'd get me to attend is what I mentioned already, namely real-world expertise from people who use D3 a lot, not a beginner's workshop. To be clear, I AM a beginner at D3, but I've used a lot of other charting solutions in the past, and I probably wouldn't attend a workshop just to learn the basics. I generally learn basic usage better from written tutorials, but I still enjoy real-life conferences if there are more advanced panels/discussions. The difference (to me) is that the advanced discussions are less "how-to"s and more "here's stuff you probably never even thought about... avoid these pitfalls".

Good luck with your workshop though, and thank you for running it! Sounds like a great opportunity for people who learn well that way.

1996, Clinton-D, not Reagan-R.

I often see people blame Reagan for things he didn't do. For example Airline Deregulation has been making the rounds recently, blaming Reagan, that happened in 1978, Carter-D, several years before Regan became president. Did he deregulate a lot? Sure, but not everything. I am of no appreciation for Reagan (I identify as an Eisenhower/Rockefeller Centrist-Republican), but I like to put blame where blame is due.

> I think this is an under-discussed topic for how pervasive a problem it is in our country.

The parts of it that are under-discussed are the parts they're still not discussing. The unsolved parts are unsolved as a result of bipartisan unwillingness to solve them.

Example: Historical racism caused black people to lack the generational wealth to own a home. The solution to this is to make home ownership more affordable, i.e. to build more housing and bring down the market price of buying a home. But many of the existing homeowners, who don't want home prices to become more affordable, are Democrats, so this problem is unsolved even in areas like San Francisco under 100% Democratic control.

Example: Parents want their kids to attend schools with smart kids so the other students aren't disruptive and don't require the teacher to slow the pace of the class. The solution to this is to put kids of similar intelligence in the same class, which also helps smart minority students who can get in based on test scores rather than money. But then affluent parents with disruptive or less intelligent kids don't get into the smart class, so they prefer solutions where the metric is parental income (e.g. ability to afford a home in the "good" school district) rather than test scores, and then get to feel good about themselves because even though this result is even worse for poor minority students, they can point to the statistics that minority students from poor backgrounds have lower test scores as a reason to refuse to use test scores and wrap their self-interest in the flag of anti-racism. Then many of those parents are Democrats, and moreover the alternate solution where you break up the "income buys a good school district" system would be things like school vouchers, which are opposed by public school teachers unions because they allow non-affluent parents to choose a private school if it's better, and those unions are a Democratic constituency. So again the problem goes unsolved, even in areas controlled by the people who claim to want to solve it.

So these aren't the problems they spend most of their time talking about, because that would be goring the wrong ox. Instead they talk about identity politics and historical circumstance which cannot be solved because they are just abstract ideas and empty rhetoric instead of anything attached to a reasonable policy proposal that might actually do some good.
Literally not being at home to eat home made food is obviously a case where other factors dominate.

However, I really don't think that's the general case people are thinking of when trying to argue that it makes some kind of economic sense for people to eat a fast food diet. The average person does go home at some point, especially so for families.

Or more specifically, it's the claim "I can't go to the grocery store and make this meal for less than a fast food meal", that is absurd.
