> Why not?

If you fulfill the role of a supplier of a component in a bigger product (especially in an industrial setting), you cannot "try to build something".

People are not happy if you tell them that you want to iterate on their control system and deliver incremental value, or tell them that it's not possible in the contractually agreed way.

> That is an incorrect characterization of Agile.
These are also the cases where you just have to work out overarching requirements upfront.
Recall is the last straw for me; my next rig will be Linux exclusively. I don’t like it as a feature, don’t understand its usage, and most importantly I hate the way Microsoft tries to force it on my computer. Fuck that, and fuck them too. Next thing, I’m moving off Visual Studio too for Rider. For over a decade now Windows have been a shitshow with every next version being totally crap. Windows 7 was great, 8 was crap. Ten was good after a while, 11 is also crap. Probably they don’t care about Windows that much anymore since they’re making a shitton of money from Azure. But I have work to do and I can’t keep fighting my PC.

I'm fairly certain we'll soon realize that what's happening here is that the markov chain being run over latent space needs a certain amount of "warmup" before it starts sampling from the optimal region. HMC samplers for Bayesian methods have this same property.

The terms "reasoning", "computing" or "thinking" for this stage should be considered metaphors rather than explanations for what's happening, which is really waiting for a random walk to start sampling from the typical-set.
I've long long wanted a code-mod that can go add explicit typing to a file, and another that can turn it off.

Yeah you can go poke around at your IDE and hover over things to see implicit types, but being able just read on the screen what everything is can be super helpful to newcomers or someone returning after a long weekend. It's also wonderful seeing the ripple of changes across the codebase as functions start returning different things, seeing explicit types update.

Ideally we could write & get the succinct form, but be saving in code in explicit form. IMHO.
It will be an interesting question whether or not some of the newer libertarian tech companies move here. MuskCo, Palantir, companies funded by AH. But your company would probably have to be meme-y enough not to rely on institutional investors.

The officially licensed PC/console Tetrises are still fine, but yeah the licensed mobile versions are universally garbage. As I mentioned in another comment you should probably just install the Delta emulator instead and use it to play a good modern Tetris like Apotris (https://akouzoukos.com/apotris) or one of the licensed console versions (NES, GB, DS...)
RL agents can't ascent? That's something other nethack bots solved a decade ago. They seem to have a really bad grasp of the game. In any case a badly fitted model is not a bug.
For reasoning of any complexity, some sort of internal monologue and iteration is needed. For type-2 thinking, we conceptualize possible solutions, arguments, and reasoning paths in our mind, and judge and evaluate them before deciding which one we think is adequate or correct. This can be emulated to some extent by guiding prompts that make that internal thought process external, but we really want it to be internal and automatic.

We don’t know how to do that yet, because what controls the internal thought process is itself not necessarily language-based, and also, since internal thought processes of biological brains are not directly observable, they can’t be used as training data.

Edit: It occurs to me now that there is some parallel between current LLMs and behaviorism [0], and we really need something to which cognitive psychology could be applied instead.

If Boeing’s product was something less necessary, and held in lower esteem, like military aircraft, a lot of these QA issues (and clear lack of ethics) would fall by the wayside in terms of press coverage. Boeing is not the only company that has wrung itself dry with goals of growth-over-growth in terms of stock dividends.

Planes require so much validation and Boeing aircraft were held in very high esteem, but these attributes are just cows to milk in the eyes of the “smartest” investor. Boeing is the canary, the first to erode, because they set high standards for themselves and have to meet stringent regulatory standards. I won’t be at all surprised when other companies with less important products begin to display fraying edges.

who really does "Agile" or "waterfall" or anything ? I'm in this job for 30 years. I've never seen any formal methods my whole career. it's like here's the thing we need or what the customer needs, gather some vague requirements, write some prototypes, do internal demos, now more requirements are there, more clarity, iterate on the prototypes, etc., repeat. use issue trackers, use "stories", use kanban boards sure, but are we adhering to some rigid notion of "agile"? no way. I can't imagine the "waterfall" method actually working either.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was "look at your data".

Sometimes it's hard, sometimes you need to come up with novel visualizations, sometimes it can only give partial insight or just be noise, but I always strive, where I can, to have some type of method to look at data, in as close of a form as it was generated as possible.

I think in this instance, look at an actual run might have caught this issue earlier. They might have seen the "it's a full moon" message and might think that's odd, or see were-creatures keeping their form or seeing agents being extra lucky, or whatever, but running it headless and just looking at the score means they're cutting off a huge signal vector (and, admittedly, a huge noise vector).

I started programming long before "scrum" or "agile" or even "XP". One consistent observation I've made around every methodology that comes along is that management manages exactly the same way they used to manage after they roll out the methodology as they did before the methodology.
Absolutely, they were just making far and away the best laptops for web dev at the time. And that yielded a lot of really useful, really polished software for web devs, creating a sort of virtuous cycle. I don’t think one needs to look much further than that for some conspiracy of HN astroturfers, a lot of people just find it the best. Lots of companies spend a ton on marketing, maybe they don’t do it as well as Apple, but geeks are going to shift away if it sucks.

And Apple has made a lot of missteps since then, so maybe their dominance will waver. I’ve been looking at going pure NixOS, personally, been hearing decent reviews of Frameworks. Still don’t think the complete package is quite enough to unseat Mac laptop ssh’d to linux workstation for me, but it’s getting closer.

My experience with GPT-4o with the same prompt was pretty solid. With no special system prompt and your same user prompt, I got:

This scenario is intriguing and does seem to carry the potential for a tricky question. In the simplest terms, the presence of a goat doesn't complicate the actual act of crossing the river. If there are no additional constraints or rules involved (like the need to also transport something else that requires careful consideration), you can simply:

1. Place the goat in the boat.
2. Row across the river.

However, if we are to assume there's more depth or a twist to the question, we might consider an outside-the-box answer. Here’s an alternative possibility if there is indeed some trick:

1. Get into the boat.
2. Leave the goat on the shore (if it’s safe) and row across the river.

There might be other interpretations depending on additional constraints that could be implicitly part of the question. If the goal was simply to get yourself across, leaving behind the goat and traversing the river is the straightforward solution.
History of the Paper Clip (2016)
A lot of on call teams lack the capability to do that automation, either because ops takes the pages and can't code (or can't code well enough) or because dev takes the pages and have no access or knowledge about the infra APIs they could use for self-healing.

These platforms can form a sort of "common ground" where dev can see the infra APIs and the "code" is simple enough for ops people that don't code to rig stuff up.

I don't think these platforms are built for the kind of places where being able to write a Python script to query logs from CloudFront are just table stakes for all ICs regardless of role.
Using the unqualified word "freedom" has an ambiguity that political actors exploit. Freedom to do something is entirely separate to "free to live in a world where ___".

To be honest, I feel the latter sense of the word is a bit of a stretch - semantically, not politically.

But you see it because "freedom" is a powerful word in politics, and rather than argue against "freedom", pundits go up the ladder of abstraction and argue the definition instead.

Of course this is correct (merely makes it so that you have to brute force instead of look up in your book)!
People really need to stop trying to model an LLM as some kind of magical software component: it all makes a lot more sense if you model it as an under-performing poorly-aligned employee; so like, maybe a distracted kid working for peanuts at your store. You wouldn't trust them to with all of your money and you wouldn't trust them to do a lot of math--if they had to be in charge of checkout, you'd make sure they are only given a point-of-sale terminal and their main job was to, at best, scan the barcodes and compare the total--and yet there are tasks you can imagine handing to them that you'd never give to a robot or computer even though they get it wrong a lot, as not all tasks need to be handled perfectly, they still understand extremely fuzzy tasks, and they are probably cheaper than a qualified adult (certainly cheaper than one who is being paid enough to "give a shit" and pay enough attention to not let you get robbed or even put themselves at some risk for you).

Good question, this is what most modern studio engineers would do, especially given that more and more speakers (like the Neumann KH120 II) feature internal FIR filters so you can calibrate them using measurement microphones.

Many modern Studios run some form of digital audio network as well (Dante, Ravenna, etc) so you can go digital as early and close to the source as possible and do all the routing using network switches and some sort of managment software (e.g. Dante Domain Manager). So if you do that it makes sense to go digital all the way to the speakers and convert directly to analog there after running through a DSP that allows you to correct for the speakers position in the room.

Cables can matter. But more for mechanical reliability, good shielding and perfect handling after years of use than any other magical properties. If you want to run balanced audio signals at miniscule loss for a few thousand meters it turns out that you can just use CAT6 for that. These cable are made for far more challenging (speak: higher frequency) signals and they have a track record of working.

> that cannot have hundreds of siblings

See this is the problem with claims that humans are a 'general intelligence'. They get confused when encountering out-of-distribution situations. A true general intelligence would simply apply the knowledge that surrogate pregnancies cost around ~$50,000 and recall from historical context their knowledge of IVF. The AGI would then assume that the situation is simply that a billionaire couple has decided to have hundreds of kids and get on with the calculation. The search for intelligent life continues.

We waited on this issue for 2 years before migrating off EKS Fargate to Managed Node Groups due to this very reason. In the end, it turned out to be much better of an environment anyway, because you didn't have to deal with Kubernetes oddities (like lack of Daemonsets) requiring anti-patterns and ultimately resulted in cheaper pricing due to better bin-packing. If you're doing K8s orchestration with Fargate, I highly recommend the switch.

> The more an LLM talks the smarter it gets

I have a blog post in coming on this topic, but yes, this is right.

My method is to first get the LLM to answer the question, and THEN feed the answer back the LLM to extract the answer using constraints + grammar/logit bias/regex to parse the answer. Previously, I constrained to a single true/false token, which worked, but fails on complex queries.

So I split the decision making into a "justification" portion[0], and a "parsing" portion. I found that even crafting the prompt matters here, if you start with or end with, "It's very important to the response includes 'The answer is:'", then the model will lead with that response or only reply with that response. So I put it in the middle of the prompt, and end with with a request to justify the response. As a result, most models will reason their way to the answer, and then end with 'The answer is:'.

Because they understand how LLMs work. It's not reasoning. It's not simulating reasoning.
Am I misreading this as a No true Scotsman?
People keep saying it because that's literally how LLMs work. They run Montecarlo sampling over a very impressive latent linguistic space. These models are not fundamentally different than the Markov chains of yore except that these latent representations are incredibly powerful.

We haven't even started to approach the largest problem which is moving beyond what is essentially a greedy token level search of this linguistic space. That is, we can't really pick an output that maximized the likelihood of the entire sequence, rather we're simply maximizing the likelihood of each part of the sequence.

LLMs are not reasoning machines. They are basically semantic compression machines with a build in search feature.

They're both valid UTF-16, though. Can you create a filename with only half of a surrogate pair in it?

I don't use Windows, so I can't check. Linux literally allows any arbitrary byte except for 0x00 and 0x2F ('/' in ASCII/UTF-8). It's a problem for programming languages that want to only use valid Unicode strings, like Python. Rust has a separate type "OsString" to handle that, with either lossy conversion to "String" or a conversion method that can fail. Python uses the custom use Unicode range to represent invalid byte sequences in filenames. It's all a mess. JavaScript doesn't give a damn about the validity of their UTF-16 strings.

(Note that Rust's OsString is different from it's CString type. Well, I guess under Unix they're the same, but under Windows OsString is UTF-16 (or "WTF-16", because it isn't actually valid UTF-16 in all cases).)

We are not expecting a huge traffic as we launch, if the heap size is an issue we can always buy a bigger for now.

When the cost are exceeding $200/month, it will probably be a better solution indeed to change the technology to be memory efficient and async.
And they did it a year late and over budget (thankfully they had to absorb the loss), despite submitting a much higher bid than their competitor. So it may not be a total failure since they did eventually launch, but I would hardly call this a success.

Your own expectation is covered in the second paragraph of my previous post, I am describing the expectation, which is what I and the other poster have described. You speak of this as an assumption, but you have it backwards: given google's history of failing to meet our expectations, we assume they will continue to fail to do so.

Your question of "why" boils down to asking, What is to be gained by employing the principles of least privileged access, as well as proper authorization, auditing, and alerting? The answer to that question is beyond the scope of this post, but I trust that you understand or can understand the benefits of these principles.

Ironically, the fact that Xbox is so windows-friendly is exactly why I think its sales suffer and why they're going to end up just making software - for me as a gamer, I don't feel the need to own an xbox when I can play any xbox exclusive on my PC (and often with much better performance and peripherals). I can only play Playstation exclusive games on a Playstation, and the Playstation exclusives have been consistently very, very good. Pretty much everything on the Switch is exclusive to that console. So why would a budget-constrained person ever buy an Xbox?
