That "generates an email" line is ambiguous. I hope it's just a "mailto:" link that pre-fills the to/subject/body/etc. without sending.

I wish the article had used clear language like "pre-filled" or "sends", since it could mean either, and those are very different levels of scumbaggery.

16gb running larger repos is basically a non starter. Especially in O365 environment, you're losing 5gb between word Excel and outlook.

For the last two years I've been upgrading all the devs to 32gb of RAM and all of them appreciate it immediately.
Wouldn't the long term cost of doing that be amortized over all the potential targets it would help provide information on? Seems like it would be a valuable capability to maintain in the long term. Hundreds or even thousands of tor nodes would likely be a minor fraction of the budget of whichever state actor cared about doing that.
What other subscription service are you legally required to be subscribed to merely for owning a television, computer or any other sort of appliance?

Like, suppose your car comes with a subscription service for satellite radio... you're allowed to just not pay it. Owning the object associated with the service doesn't normally oblige you to subscribe to it.
But why are we hearing stories about people playing games, reading emails or even sleeping in their teslas?

Change is hard for [some] people. Fail to acknowledge that and you'll fail to foment radical change.

Of course both things are useful in practice, and unless you’re a free-as-in-freedom software purist, free-as-in-beer software is also very useful!

But the point is exactly that the distinction matters, and conflating the terms doesn’t do either thing a favor (it also doesn’t really work well with “free software”, since the beer trope is needed to explain what you mean. “Libre” is at least non ambiguous).

Having the training data is not useful just for retraining, but also to know what the model can reasonably answer in 0-shot, to make sure it is evaluated on things it hasn’t seen before during pretraining (e.g. winograd schemas), to estimate biases or problems in the training data… if all you have is the weights, these tasks are much harder!
feel bad that this article ended up on Hacker News (HN), since it seems additional context is needed.

Currently, the emphasis in training and education is on ensuring students understand the material, and rote memorization is viewed as a failure mode.

The author acknowledges this but introduces an argument that rote memorization is critical to achieving fluency.

I suspect that stating this position among typical education-focused circles will result in pushback.

To lend credibility, she adds her lived experience as a way to explain what she means—and to clarify that she isn’t saying everyone is wrong, just that we may be too harsh on memorization.

This is apparent to me because, frankly, if it weren't for the additional content she added, I wouldn’t have spent more than a few seconds before dismissing it.

The article even made me concerned about an internal project I am involved in, prompting me to verify that I hadn’t overlooked some issues.

If you want a TL;DR, the golf analogy matters: If you want to learn math, you need to understand it and then practice it so much that it becomes second nature.
Agreed. We have a rich API to build complex pipelines, but a lot of times, users do simple mappings. So there is an API for that common use case, which has a much simpler syntax, but internally uses the rich API

"death bell of logic some make them to be"

Not death of logic, since logic is still consistent. Gödel didn't say math was wrong, just incomplete.

So philosophy might step into the space beyond where a current logical set of axioms can reach. To explore something un-provable and maybe find a new set of axioms that were not reachable through logic built on the previous axioms.

> As far as I know, the most RAM you can get in a MacBook Pro (which is what you said you're shopping for) is 48G.

My Macbook Pro has 2.5x that (128GB), and I run models that use 2x that RAM (96GB) with no impact to my IDE, browser, or other apps running at the time, they act like they're on a 32GB machine.

LM Studio makes it easy for newcomers to on-device LLMs to dip your toe into this, both for turning on Metal and helping suggest which models will fit entirely in RAM.

> The body doesn't care if you took steroids with a prescription or without one.

The body doesn't, but the person who prescribes the medication does. With any medication there are tradeoffs to be made. A doctor is usually able to make a more qualified assessment of said tradeoffs than the average patient.

After all, the tradeoffs of taking anabolic steroids are plenty, especially when taken over longer periods of time.

And not to mention the fact that the stuff people source illegaly is rarely chemically as safe as the stuff used as medication.

The difference between your views and those claims from the OP are understandable. To answer your questions ("How else could an LLM do that?"), does this nuance help?:

- The LLM is always answering "what it interprets that YOU want to hear", including all the input biases (its training data, its construction and settings, your prompt, etc.).

- Instead, if the LLM "thought" ("understood" with an "inherent representation" to "encode an understanding of our world"), then the LLM could answer "what IT thinks and applied reasoning (in some way, consciously or not) to arrive at", then.

To restate that, it's the difference between GUESSING WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, GIVEN ALL INPUTS versus GIVING ITS OWN HONEST ASSESSMENT GIVEN ALL OF ITS INPUTS.

In other words, IT HAS NO HONEST ASSESSMENT OF ITS OWN, per se. It cannot assess on its own behalf. It only reacts in the way it has been configured to.

Am I on the right track, trying to tease apart the disparity of opinion on those 3 claims?

Jelqing runs a high risk of destroying your penile tissue. Feel free to Google it, but expect stories like "I quit when I started ejaculating blood."

PRP injections are a relatively safe procedure, and should not give you HIV. The risk of HIV comes from using unsafe medical practices like sharing needles, and this exact same risk exists when injecting other substances like Synthol.

> Side effects of PRP injections are very limited because the injections are created from your own blood, and your body should not reject them or react in any negative way. As with any injection, there is a remote risk of infection. Otherwise, there are no significant risks apart from the variability and unpredictability of how effective the treatment will be for a particular patient.

> Sure the do. All somebody needs is the password to your password manager. It's a single point of failure and by putting your passkeys in there to you've made it even more vulnerable.

Not more vulnerable than if they were just using password. You're still missing my point, password managers do not give you the ability to just copy-paste the private key of a passkey into a form field, unlike passwords. Some don't give you access to it at all (*cough* Apple *cough*). Sure you can get the private key if you have access to the password managers vault, but that's not what's being talked about. Common usage patterns matter immensely in security. At the end of the day, the attack surface for passkey-based authentication is smaller than password-based authentication, which is a step in the right direction.

Due to quantum physics, there's actually only two degrees of freedom in the ways light can be polarized, referred to as the "Jones Vector". In other words, it's impossible even in theory to distinguish between light that has exactly two perpendicular polarizations mixed together and light that is fully unpolarized and has thousands located all around the circle. That makes it surprisingly possible to build a camera that captures _everything_ there is to know about light at some particular frequency.

"You didn't read Gorgias, you read a wikipedia/summary."

Sorry, it was part of our work dealing with logic, argument, and rhetoric in the Greek tradition in the late 1970s well before Wiki and the Web even existed. (I wish I'd had the Web back then, it would have made study much easier).

Unfortunately, it's this kind of negative discussion that those who criticize Philosophy latch onto to discredit the subject. Of course you are entitled to your opinion. Why are you so upset that someone could actually disagree with you?

Incidentally, why did you say that I said you were wrong when I never said any such thing? I could proceed to debate that you are deliberately taking the sophist's line to buy an argument but I've said enough already.
There are different ways to be profitable in the payment space. One is to try to give you simple services at the lowest possible price, focusing on the lowest cost. The other is to try to make it really easy to do the complicated parts of payments, making it easier for new businesses to be started and for them to grow.

You see the differences pretty clearly today: Adyen is a profitable payments company, but their route forward is very different from Stripe. Adyen wins many contracts for the largest companies on the internet. Stripe hands smaller companies a lot of savings in time writing infrastructure, but doesn't do so well at winning competitive bids from the eBays and Netflixes of the world.

So their mission really is informing them how to get there, and it makes a big difference in how decisions are made internally. And as long as it doesn't change, it's helpful at predicting their next strategic moves.
Every time I see a long inscrutable discussion about Passkeys, I see a weird avoidance of the "something you know" part of security. Here in the US, courts and law enforcement have every right to get your username, fingerprint, retina scan, face ID, whatever. But they don't have the right to extract something from your brain. Unless I'm missing something basic (which at this point, I don't think is my fault since this whole thing appears incredibly difficult to explain), Passkeys skips past that whole thing in favor of making it a heck of a lot easier to replace "something you know" with "something you have". Which is a security nightmare.

> Nietzsche advocated what we would today call Social Darwinism

Not really.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Darwinism Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy addressed the question of artificial selection, yet Nietzsche's principles did not concur with Darwinian theories of natural selection. Nietzsche's point of view on sickness and health, in particular, opposed him to the concept of biological adaptation as forged by Spencer's "fitness". Nietzsche criticized Haeckel, Spencer, and Darwin, sometimes under the same banner by maintaining that in specific cases, sickness was necessary and even helpful.

In fact, Nietzsche experienced a number of health problems himself.

The correspondences revealed in Fox News court cases do not paint a picture of a company with their own principled view to having a positive impact, that included respect for facts.

All companies "serve" their customers, including news organizations, and inevitably have subjective ways of organizing their efforts.

But there is a big difference between ones that have a mission geared to a positive society outcome, a commitment to customer well being, and respect for facts, with profits following from that service, vs. a mission to print whatever they can legally afford to, to maximize profits. And of course, that difference is a continuum.

Some companies take value creation seriously. Others optimize for opportunities to extract value and prey on dysfunction.

Same. Our corporate-issue MBPs come with managed policies, AV software, and remote control services (remote wipe, lockout). It's why I'm never tempted to use work equipment for personal use.

I guess our org has chosen better management software, though, because it never results in restarts. The one exception is the requirement to keep the OS patched in order to log in to corporate systems.
