The biggest issue I see with such things is lack of standarization.

For us lucky, "regular" human beings, the interfaces has some standardisation.

- Touchpad
- Touchscreen
- Keyboard

We can complain on some minor differences but it's not like going from one device to the other the controller becomes that much different.

Ideally, if big tech players are into really making such things useful (eye-tracking, face gestures, etc), there should be standardisations.

So if I need those accessible interfaces, they're agnostic as possible to the platform itself.
> What ended it? Decade or quarter century - how did it subside, and why?

It probably killed everyone who wasn’t sufficiently resistant to it, leaving a population who were. Natural selection. The disease probably didn’t go away - it just stopped killing people. This is probably just one of many such events throughout European history that led to a population with various resistances - and when that population arrived on the shores of the Americas, it brought those diseases into contact with a population that enjoyed no such resistances.

I agree that stars alone don't equate to reliability, which is why I used (the very much imperfect, but better) stars/issue as part of the evidence.

While I'm unaware of research supporting stars/issue, it's a useful rule-of-thumb at the extremes. With React (318), if something isn't working, your code is almost certainly wrong. With Bun (24), if something isn't working, it's likely Bun (sorry, Jarred).

The assertion the Remix creators are "extremely hostile to anything resembling stability" should place Remix at the lowest extreme, but that isn't so.

If you use a metric or rule-of-thumb for evaluating reliability, I'm curious to hear it.

There is a thread below discussing tuning temperature and why it's not tied to creativity. I think the point is temperature and other sampling parameters don't have any inherent mechanism to control the adherence to training pattern as a whole (all top-X candidates are all from training data). Deviating from the max probability in next token generation has no relation with thinking out of box. It does give more generation results that may be lucky to hit something, but I doubt the cost effectiveness

No, even in 2024. I'm in New Zealand; there are a handful of big tech companies here, and they all offer compensation approximately the same (maybe on the upper end) as other New Zealand tech companies. There aren't that many remote jobs for US companies, and often they're also trying to save money by offshoring.

Why don't the local NZ tech companies offer more, though? Mostly because they don't have the same scale, so the revenue per employee is much lower.

FAANG (as in, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) make something like $1.5-$3 million USD per (white collar) employee (excluding Amazon warehouse workers).

Compare this to some well-known NZ tech companies (some of which even operate internationally!) Xero has revenue per employee of ~$150k USD. Pushpay maybe $200k USD revenue per employee. Datacom has revenue per employee of ~$130k USD.

It would bankrupt these companies to offer anything like what FAANG can offer, because they simply don't have the scale and revenue per employee to do so. Tech companies specifically have the rare ability to hugely leverage relatively few employees into huge revenue due to scaling, but only if you actually manage to scale. Most tech companies (probably even ones in the USA) don't have the kind of global scale and presence of the big tech companies.
How will increasing temperature improve the arithmetic performance of the model with numbers it has never seen? When prompted the right way, the model has trouble sticking to the answer that is implied by its chain of thought process. For some strange reason it knows how to perform the task, but when it is time to output the answer, it decides to recalculate it from scratch using attention. Before you complain about me benchmarking arithmetic performance. Consider that I could have defined any algebraic structure and I could have made the exact same complaint. It's just that arithmetic is very easy to verify using a calculator. Dismissing the easy arithmetic also dismisses all operations on any algebra.

The obvious problem is that these logic and arithmetic operations don't really need exhaustive training examples. Training the LLM is supposed to teach it a method or process by which it arrives at the answer, not just the question answer pair itself, which tends to only lead to very good approximate results. That is ok when using language, since your exact words don't really matter if you can express yourself in another way, but when it comes to algebras, accuracy is key.

It really is strange that when one wishes for a more capable LLM that one is told how stupid one is for wanting such a thing. What exactly is so wrong about giving the model a price list and an example of an order at a restaurant and then asking how much the whole order costs and expecting the correct total sum? For some strange reason I'm getting numbers that would make sense if I generated the text in a vacuum without the price list, as if they are following some existing pattern...

What is funny is that in my insides I'm 100% sure the type of people that spout that crap about "not my problem" and fuck their co-workers are the ones that would act the most dictator-like and dystopian-capitalists if given the chance. They just reveal their true way of thinking- the fact they chose "the worker" cause they have no power doesn't mean they wouldn't flip if they had power.

Imagine acting in the most anti-communal way while thinking you have a moral high ground and fuck the little guys around you because you think you're sticking it to the man.

Last night I somehow dreamed I had a hydrofluoric acid burn. Reading this thread I remembered there was this rust stain remover product on US Amazon that is 3% HF. https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B000LNQNM0/

It's got great reviews (and I'm inclined to believe that this product will do the job). There's one 1-star review that stands out though: "Simply put. It doesn’t work and it was shipped leaking." Yikes!
Well, we do have a conceptual framework and vocabulary for massive, pervasive and implacable forces beyond our understanding - it's the framework and vocabulary of religion and the occult. It has actually been used to describe capitalism essentially since capitalism itself, and it's been used explicitly as a framework to analyze it at least since Deleuze. Arguably, since Marx : as far as I'm aware, he was the first to personalize capital as an actor in and of itself.
The problem with the Chinese SBCs is lack of up-to-date LINUX support. Chip manufacturers are eager to provide Android support, but don't care a great deal about Linux support, which is, for them, a tiny niche market. Android will run on significantly out of date kernels, so the chip makers typically bump their kernels to the minimum Linux kernel version required to run a reasonable modern Android. Their Linux ports are based on Android kernels, so they lag significantly behind. And SBC manufacturers just use the kernels provided by the chipset manufacturer. The recent Orange Pi Rockwell-based SBCs, for example, shipped with a 4.x Linux kernel for their Linux port, at a point in time where Raspberry Pi OS was using a 6.x kernel.

Raspberry Pis do lag too, but they have significantly newer kernels, and are supported directly by several mainline distros.

I've chased a number of alternatives to Raspberry Pi in the interval where Rockwell SBCs were beating the pants off Pi 4s, only to find that they were shipping 4.x Linux kernels. My particular application uses USB audio devices, which don't really work prior to extensive rewrites of the USB audio stack in the 5.15 kernel. Raspberry Pi OS kernels are 6.1 or better. And Ubuntu on raspberry PI has later kernels than that (not sure which currently). Versions of Linux prior to 5.15 supported very old USB Audio 1.0 devices, but not currently available USB Audio 1.1 devices.

I imagine you would run into significant problems with video drivers being out of date on non-Pi devices as well. Raspberry Pi had to do their own Vulkan port, which seemed to require significant development effort.

I don't think that's likely to change soon. Rockwell doesn't really have a strong incentive to improve their kernel ports beyond what's necessary to support Android. And smaller SBC manufacturers aren't likely to have the resources to do a kernel port themselves.
Yeah, not having to be attached 24-by-7 to some (pay-a-subscription) technology to just do a simple job is a great point.

Well it is a bit like satire. You have to explain the universe for an unspecialized GPT, like you would do to a layman. There are custom gpts that come preloaded with that universe explanation.

In addition, do not ask facts to an LLM. Give a list of let's say 1000 kings of a country and then ask give 20 of those.

If you ask 25 kings of some country, you are testing knowledge not intelligence.

I see LLMs like a speaking rubber duckie. The point where I write a successful point is also the point where I understand the problem.
Good point, didn't notice that.

> A typed language for web development?!

What a novel idea.
This is sort of by design. Generally speaking Object.prototype.toString() does not accept parameters, I think the only "standard" implementation which takes parameters is Number.prototype.toString(). You can overwrite .toString with your customized functions, but doing so is full of risks which can basiclaly be summed up to performance overhead and unexpected behaviour due to how you're not really in control of an object's state... As you sort of point out here.

I know it's very tempting for people coming from OOP languages to use their own custom toString functions, but you really shouldn't. If you really need a string version of an object for debugging purposes you should instead get it through JSON.stringify. This is partly because .toString() isn't really meant to be used by you in JS. You can, and in a few cases it may make sense, but it's usually unnecessary because JS will do it automatically if you simply wrap your non-string primitives in the string where you want to use them.

In general it's better to work with objects directly and not think of them as "classes". I think (and this is my opinion which people are going to disagree with) in general you're far better off by very rarely using classes at all in TS. There are obviously edge cases where you're going to need classes, but for 95% of your code they are going to be very unnecessary and often make it much harder for developers who may not primarily work with JS or another weakly typed language. Part of this is because classes aren't actually classes, but mainly it's because you can almost always achieve what you want with an interface or even a Type in a manner that is usually more efficient, more maintainable and easier to test because of it's decoupled nature. I have this opinion after working with JS in both the back-end and front-end for over a decade and seeing how horrible things can go wrong because we all write shitty code on a thursday afternoon, and because JS often won't work like many people from C#, Java or similar backgrounds might expect.
Yeah I have high hopes for the new Foundation. The current open source Foundation is OK but it doesn't quite match what's there on Apple platforms and makes it all a bit difficult. Having one shared implementation should improve things.

I came here to say pretty much the same. It is so tiring to hear opinions like these from technically-minded people who clearly lack "better-than-average" creativity and lateral thinking skills. LLMs are garbage-in garbage-out in terms of brainstorming. If you aren't good at brainstorming without LLMs then they won't be much use. So many people are just seeing their own limits reflected back at them.

When I'm brainstorming math or cryptography or philosophy with an LLM it is only because of the connections and leaps that I introduce that leads to novel and amusing discoveries.

You have to develop successful patterns. Coaxing and condensing. Drilling into numbered lists. Asking for tables with progressively more columns and altered sorting. You have to know the spatial reasoning limits of the model. Asking for enumeration and disabling of social niceties. The number of skills needed is probably beyond most people's imaginations.
