In 2015 the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified processed meats (including bacon, salami, etc.) as group 1 carcinogens.
I agree that they might create a positive feedback loop, see for example the ever-present sugar cravings that take a few days-weeks of no dessert or sugar to subside.

The processed foods however is what we’d want to get rid of. Otherwise all we do is slow down the loop, and add in more side effects.
Based on my past role, you can't even assume UTF-8 when the file says it's UTF-8.

Clients would constantly send CSV or other files with an explicit BOM or other marking indicating UTF-8 but the parser would choke since they just output native Windows-1252 or similar into it. I think some programs just spit it out since it's standard.
You might try https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8054915/ which states: "General anesthesia is characterized by loss of consciousness, amnesia, analgesia, and immobility." and further down shows brain activity recorded while under anesthesia via EEG. The paper looks at the differences and similarities of brain activity while under anesthesia and sleep. This is only possible because, however changed or slowed by it, the brain is still active while under anesthesia

We'd hire the initial deployment out to temporary contractors. It just took a few weeks to get a large deployment out. The hard part was the 12 GPUs needed to be inserted at the DC, which took a bunch of effort. Once it was done we generally had 1-2 people on the ground in the data centers to deal with breakfixes. Either contractors or supplied by the DC.

For this venture, again, we are starting small, so we are just flying to the DC and doing it ourselves. There are also staff there that are technical enough to swap stuff out when we need it. The plan will be to just hire one of their staff as our own.

I don't think we will make it for this next deployment due to time constraints, but ideally in our near future, we will go full L11. Assemble and ship out full racks at the manufacturer/VAR, bolt em down, wire them up and ready to go. That is my dream... we will see if we get there. L11 is hard cause a single missing cable can hold up an entire shipment.
Those employees helped make Google a $2T company. They just had a quarterly income of $24B. Firing people because of wages is wrong in this instance.
From what I read, the best cancer treatments money can buy even without insurance are on the order of single digit millions of dollars.

Probably some dieticians and personal therapists thrown into the mix would help. Let's call that another million dollars.

But - realistically - even the ultra wealthy die of cancer. All the money in the world might not be enough. At least if all the money ends up being blown, it will at least have given him a fighting chance.
Plywood is good for dimensional stability, but I'm pretty sure all this work must have been done in and around a toolroom with stable moisture content or the part was used immediately and then consumed/destroyed before it "moves" too much. However, he sounds like he's pretty knowledgeable so I'm going to guess this isn't just garage woodworking where 1/32" doesn't really matter when the wood is going to shrink/expand by 5-10% over the course of a year.
I don't think a magical prompt is suddenly going to make any current public model draw an ASCII unicorn like this thing does. (besides, it already leaks a system prompt which seems very basic)

There’s plenty of strategies.

In this case, if you can see two code based behaviors have diverged, just run both through a step by step debugger and see where they diverge.

Or if you run both through a profiler, you can see what segment of code is taking a crazy amount of time in comparison.

In general, narrowing down what you’re looking at is the goal. In this case, a big hint is that the code should be O(nlogn) but is actually O(n^2) which is a huge hint that we’re in a nested loop and the break condition isn’t getting triggered properly. I would have looked closely at the loops because of this.

The code itself is ~400 lines long minus a bunch of comments. This feels very approachable to skim through in an hour.

I also love creating new variables and naming them what I’m learning. Often times naming things will make bugs very obvious.

gpt2-chatbot is not the only "mystery model" on LMSYS. Another is "deluxe-chat".

When asked about it in October last year, LMSYS replied [0] "It is an experiment we are running currently. More details will be revealed later"

One distinguishing feature of "deluxe-chat": although it gives high quality answers, it is very slow, so slow that the arena displays a warning whenever it is chosen as one of the competitors

Yah this works for me and I'm not a SWE. I use it to make marketing websites. Sometimes it will do something perfectly but mess up one part, if I keep getting it to fix that one part in the same session almost certainly it's never going to work (I burnt a week this way). However, if I take it into a brand-new GPT sessions and say here is this webpage i wrote, but I made a mistake and the dropdown box should be on the left not the right, it can almost always fix it. Again, I'm not really a SWE so I'm not sure what is going on here, but if you click the drop down on that "Analyzing" thing that shows up, in the same session it seems to try to re-work the code from memory, on a new session if you look at the drop down Analyzing thing, it seems to be using a different method to re-work the code.

That hasn't been our experience using it in-house! It's not perfect, but not every software engineering task is some galaxy-brain architectural shit. Sometimes, you have to lay down some bricks. And sometimes, to lay down bricks, you need to touch more than one tiny patch of code.

Having something round up the likely areas of the codebase that needs touching feels magical. It doesn't always succeed! But it feels pretty magical to get that boost when you're new to some part of a codebase (which, real talk, code I wrote > 1 month ago, I must page back into memory).

Making it easy for me to progressively add context for the model is an accurate analogue for how I think as a developer when tackling a task. I have to build a mental model of how things work. And then a plan for how I'm going to change it.

Maybe for the kinds of tasks you usually tackle, it won't have value. But the amount of context it's attempting to bring to bear on whatever task you give it is categorically more — and better — than any other tool I've seen. I have seen (and been the author of) spaghetti. Could I make CW generate spaghetti? Surely. That's why it's a tool for developers, not a substitute for developers.

Has anyone found that GPT3.5 was better in many ways to GPT4? I have had consistent issues with GPT4, I had it search a few spreadsheets recently looking unique numbers, not only did it not find all the numbers, but it also hallucinated numbers. Which is obviously quite bad. It also seems worse at helping to solve/fix coding issues. Only giving you vague suggestions where 3.5 would just jump right into it.

> By definition, a convoy consisted of two or more merchant ships under the escort of one or more warships, but typical transatlantic convoys during the war consisted of large numbers of ships—the largest composed of 166, with typical convoys consisting of 45 to 60 ships—steaming in 9 to 12 columns with 1,000 yards between columns and 600 yards between ships in the individual columns. Because of their extra vulnerability, tankers and ammunition ships were placed in the innermost columns, and the convoy commodore in charge would be in the lead ship in the center column.

That is a lot of attack surface. But they kind of already do your idea, just with metal ships carrying goods.
My parents didn't let me watch much TV/movies at all growing up. This was never a problem when I was a kid — books and the Internet filled the TV-role perfectly well — but as a teenager and young adult I often found myself confused by things that everyone my age was "supposed" to know from TV/movies.

On the other hand, I would probably have felt like a social outcast anyway, and whatever mild unpleasantness I experienced sounds a lot milder than some of the effects of social media on kids.

An internet without archival sites is a censored internet. How fitting.
It's an extension of the chosen-plaintext attack, and so requires the attacker to be able to send custom text that they know is in the encrypted payload. If the unencrypted payload is "our-secret-data :::: some user specified text", then the attacker can eventually determine the contents of our-secret-data by observing how the size of the encrypted response changes as they change the text when the compression step matches up with a part of the secret data. It can be defeated by adding random-length padding after compression and before the encryption step, though.

I see your second point as exactly where Google and many other hyper-scale companies are going. They seem to legitimately see all employees as spreadsheet rows to be shuffled around to achieve maximum efficiency.

This is narrow mindset and speaks to what a lot of the article is trying to explain.

This isn't just talking about obesity. But also talking about other additives that make foods less nutrient dense for you, eating foods that can cause other adverse health problems outside of just obesity. Additionally, UPF foods are engineered to make them hyperpalatable, meaning you want to eat more of them than you would a less processed food. Lastly, processed foods are often stripped of many micronutrients that in some cases are artificially added back in. These nutrients we would normally get from unprocessed foods in abundance.
The level of competition right now is so crazy, if it ISN’T a new version of ChatGPT then OpenAI is in trouble.

Ah yes, I'm sure you'd do far better as king libertarian dictator, right before you got ate by a bear.
> Although they sensibly tend to focus on interpretation at the particle level, avoiding the hype and wishful mysticism that would tend to crop up around its implications for us as individuals.

Is this yet another one of those scientific facts that does not require a proof?

> Too many imaginative people and popularizers have a tendency to jump from actual equations/constraints they don't understand, to non-scientific psychologically motivated "implications" and ideologies.

Similarly, too many imaginative people who lack adequate depth in epistemology and non-binary logic like to practice both on the internet as if they know what they're doing. And the beauty of it is: if the minds of the population have been adequately conditioned, no one notices.

But wait, there's even more Oracle level soothsaying of the unknowable below:

My response is staying with science, which just means staying with evidence and reasoning that avoids our unbounded ability to fool ourselves. I.e. repeatable experiments by others, tested model predictions, mathematical and statistical checks, etc.

That is all science and math are. An accumulation of tools and systems that improve the reliability of our thinking. They increasingly help us mitigate our exceptional talent for fooling ourselves.

If we find another way to "know", it will get included into science too.

-------------

I'm sorry to be such a party pooper, but when religious or mystical people make epistemically unsound claims, the knives almost always come out for them, a little in the opposite direction shouldn't hurt too much. And besides: "science" claims to welcome criticism, much like religious people claim to follow their scriptures. But then, who doesn't like to have their cake and eat it too?
> You already live in one. Publishing house shareholders get most of the money, even for online books.

Doesn't this apply to every mass-market creative endeavor - software engineering included? There a whole lot of machinery sitting between {code|book} author and the paying consumers, leveraging efficiency of scale and demanding a pound of flesh in return. Agents, editors, lawyers, proof readers, marketers, book cover artists, sales people, type-setters, and requisite admin support staff all of them necessary to publish and distribute books at scale. If you think authors don't need an entire industry behind them, try sifting through the self-published dreck on Amazon.

I've had work in the past where I was really just wasting my time. There would be unclear/nonexistent communication, which would lead to endless revisions of the same project. One day the client wants X, the next day X is no longer needed.
Roc does not have computation expressions and this specific syntax is the "something similar". Many other comments have noted that this feature corresponds to the IO Monad with do notation in Haskell and Computation Expressions are F#'s take on monads & friends. Roc's take on this is basically "why should someone need to know category theory to write to a file" and the relatively simple "use ! when you want to yield control to the platform" suffices until the programmer decides to dig into a full explanation.

More generally Roc is following in the footsteps of Elm in that it's an exercise in functional language minimalism. I personally like computation expressions but I think they're beyond Roc's preferred feature complexity limit. There are proposals to expand this feature either using a `?` in a `with` section that would allow for Rust-like error handling with `Result`s or a type-dependent version of `!` so the syntax could be used on something other than `Task`s. Regardless, it's expected that the IO use case is going to be the primary use case regardless so I expect they're giving people some time to play around with it and provide feedback before making further changes.
On GPT-4 release I was able to get it to draw Factorio factory layouts in ASCII which were tailored to my general instructions.

> If UTF-8 decoding fails, then it's time to pull out the fancy statistical tools to (unreliably) guess an encoding.

Don't really even need to do that. There's only a handful other encodings still in common use, just try each of them as fallbacks and see which one works without errors, and you'll manage the vast majority of what's not UTF-8.

(We recently did just that for a system that handles unreliable input, I think I remember our fallback only has 3 additional encodings before it gives up and it's been working fine)
FWIW it currently says that its MODEL_HOURLY_LIMIT is 3000
Not to mention that in most (all?) spoken languages numbers are big-endian.

Good explanation except for the words "proper" and "incorrect".
As far as implementing new tech goes, this sounds like about the easiest research project you could ask for. Grab a few and test em out. Not sure why you're making this out to be some kind of intractable problem.
Indeed, you can't assume UTF-8.

What you do, rather, is drop support for non-UTF-8.

Work with tech-stacks whose text handling is based strictly around Unicode and UTF-8, and find enough opportunities that way that you don't have to care about anything else.

Let the customers who cling to data in weird encodings go to someone who makes it a nice to support that.

> Staff eng's are often reminded if they're coding "too much" that they're probably Doing It Wrong and not maximizing impact and should have broken the task up into smaller chunks and distributed them among the team.

The companies that have such codified structures of "what it means to perform at a level" don't understand engineering. They don't understand that people at levels could be asked to move across the spectrum of tasks and might need to do different things at different stages of projects for the company.

E.g. if the company needs to improve reliability in the next six months, and your staff/senior engineer has a quick fix, let them fix it quickly . Stop asking them to produce docs, Jira tickets, distribute it all across other engineers etc.

Perverse incentives are a management problem. Don't make engineers do "things at their level".

I dunno, I still think the 2011-v3 platform that these Xeons can run in is still a great setup for a homelab. A bit power hungry but if you can build a dual core workstation with 36 cores, and 256GB ram for <$1000, that is a solid server. Sure, a bit more power hungry, but that would still make for a hell of an app/db server. That's basically an m4.16xlarge, same CPU generation, platform etc, (yes, without all the surrounding infra) that will cost you something like $0.10 per hour worth of energy to run.

Take the Dell T7910 for example (I use one of these for my homelab), you can pick up a basic one with low end CPU/RAM for sometimes as little as $300. Dumping all these 18 core E5s and DDR4 ECC on the market should make it even cheaper to spec out. Currently they go for about $100-150 each on the CPUs, and ~$150-200 for the RAM. Not bad IMO.
