MMLU-Pro: A More Robust and Challenging Multi-Task Language Understanding Bench
Depends on the crowd. Our $0.25/$0.50 games often have hands that go to showdown with $100+ pots, sometimes $500. Yet, every time someone says "Should we just do $1/$2 next time?" they get poo-pooed :)
That “police” in “police state” is a different concept than the police you know of.

Time You Enjoy Wasting Is Not Wasted Time.

> don’t pretend it’s a “friendly game”, it’s just a distraction, not a game.

A bit of friendly competition is still a game. Games can be fun.

> If you’re not playing for stakes where you care if you win or lose, then just don’t play for money at all.

You can still care you win, but not mind if you lose. That’s a sweet spot. Even a small pot (which is still a multiplier of all players) can get people engaged just that extra bit to take it a bit more seriously. That’s more enjoyable for everyone: you get more investment and interesting plays. The winner gets a some pocket money but no one else is bummed by the loss, it becomes a pittance relative to the enjoyment of playing with friends.

> just play for points/chips then instead of cosplaying gambling.

Why does this make you (sound/read) so irate? Let people enjoy themselves, no one is being harmed.
I teach coding to this age group and yes the options totally suck.

Replit is the one everyone uses and it's mostly acceptable for console-based stuff. However, it sucks if you want to do anything that involves drawing graphics—which is a thing you should want, because it's much more engaging for children. The code is running on Replit's servers and streamed back to you, and the latency is very noticeable.

If you have any ability to break out of the browser, I'd encourage you to do that. My preferred app is https://codewith.mu/—I don't love it at all, but it does what I need. Having a more minimalistic interface is really important IMO—I think a lot about cognitive load, and something like VSCode throws a lot of different panels at you at once.
Finding a problem worth solving is indeed a crucial step in starting a successful business, especially in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. In the end, I think combining technology-driven insights with your own experiences and insights can lead to the discovery of meaningful problems to solve.

They probably get someone in asking to change it because someone on LOL say they just hacked their computer.
It changes everything. It removes the part where harm needs to be done to satisfy demand. If someone says "I want a picture of X!" and an AI generates them the picture, no harm is done.

There are two distinct pronunciations, げんいん and げいいん, the first is the standard, the second is a variant. The only consequence of the ん in the second one is that it has been replaced because it's a pain to pronounce in that position. That there are other words with ん in a similar position (一千円 not being one of them) is by the by, 原因 and 雰囲気 are two of most frequently used words in the language (in the first 800), 禁煙 is used far less (in the first 5000) so under less pressure for adaptation.
The “brain devt stops at age X” is pseudoscience. Some physiological growth may stop, yes, but you can still get addicted to things at any age.
One fun thing to do when designing high-precision analog stuff (audio) was to choose component values that are about 1.5-2% off of a value in the E12 series. You can then go test a whole bunch of resistors and you will find a lot within 0.1% of each other (even within 0.01%). Everything within 1% of E12 is binned as a 1% resistor so those aren't polluting your stock.

Going within 0.1% of an E12 value is a pricey resistor, but resistors that are matched nearly perfectly and are 2-3% off are cheap and easy to find.

Oh good, so affordable modern arm cores with lots of usb4 and or PCIe throughout should be happening then? Looking forward to arm being a competitive player for the connectivity consumers expect, at reasonable prices.
What's crazy is that roughly 3 or 4 years ago, I had a bet with my friend that there were large amount of oil around the Korean peninsula and that rift with Japan over the East Sea (Sea of Japan) is largely driven by this knowledge/suspicion.

Would be an absolute boon to both countries if true.
I sort of do the same thing, See, I like my homedir on a nfs share. (my philosophy is build one really good drive, raid, backups etc, then everything can use that, rather than try and put a good drive into everything) However there is stuff I don't really care about but would like to be fast and don't want eating my bandwidth, caches mainly, Now unlike you I tried to stay out of tmp so I made a /var/home/ on a fast local drive that vaguely mirrors /home and symlink the caches into it. That way it makes a good dedicated space for when I do want a fast local filesystem.

As an antidote I had a hard time for a few years after I stopped using irix, I wanted(or at least my fingers wanted) the home directories to be under /usr/people
Organized crime and mafias are not the autonomous, powerful entities we're led to believe by the popular media. They're usually subjugated by the state, and used to bring money and do their dirty work.

That's why cartels appear out of control in Mexico, but when USA wants an offer, Mexico will promptly deport a high-level criminal. It's a show of strength, that the state is still in control of the cartels, but won't extinguish them because they generate lots of money for their respective political coalitions.

Happens everywhere, the biggest bank accounts of organized crime could be seized internationally if there was a will, but that would hurt politics too... unless they're Russians, there were token seizures of money and yachts last year, but it stopped quickly.

Eh I've lost files because I was working in a ramdisked /tmp when the computer lost power. That's what one gets when working in a dir called "tmp".

Some people will see their stuff vanish from /var/tmp and that will be their day of learning. I guess they won't have a backup of files in there either. They were one misfire away from loss anyway.

Sure it feels different when the distro just ran over your misconceptions. On the other hand, when I encounter a stray tmp dir, I assume everything in it can be deleted with negligible consequences. So I tend to rm them without even a glance inside.
There is a 0% chance companies will accept this. Every company has moved into utra-secret mode and has fired all of their ethical oversight teams. It's pretty clear from their behavior they know whats coming, and Schmidt's most recent interview confirms it. He is anticipating widespread use of AGI by 2029, and companies are acting accordingly with layoffs.

The only hope here is Hinton funds a private organization which bridges Public and Private interests, like a FED of AI. And legally gets it integrated into our current governments.
Less write wear on SSDs, which are by far the standard now for OS/boot disk compared to 10 or 15 years ago.
I made a custom gpt that incorporates advertisement/product placement with its responses.

You can send it commands to set the product/overtness/etc or just generalized statements to the LLM. But when you are in 'user' mode and ask it what it's doing, it will lie all day long about why it's placing product info into the response.

Those e-markets are filled with adjacent buildings where the market spills over, so it very well could be near but in a building that has an Adidas store.

The glory days of the e-markets are almost over though, the one in Zhongguancun is much smaller than it used to be, but you still need to know the right building to go into to get your old X-box or Wii unlocked.
It's faster. I don't move the source code around though, the intermediate build directory cmake writes binaries into is under a tmpfs mount and the install dir is back on disk. Currently has 10gb in it with 30m of uptime. The gain would be less if I was more willing to trust ccache, or if the cmake dependency graph of the project was trustworthy - my default build deletes all the files from the last one.
Agreed, he's an amazing man. He was on my Qualifying Exam committee....and I presented on dielectric laser accelerators. Apparently I didn't butcher it.

I'm glad the effort is progressing and getting recognition! It would be really cool to see a lot of microfabricated accelerators out in the wild. There are lots of applications for these things and it would unlock a lot of value for the world.
lol yes and thats a good thing
I own this app and haven't update yet, smh. Silly its not just a feature of the OS.
Food for thought. When I was making my own custom keyboard layout I resisted the additional rabbit hole of shuffling punctuation. The only change I did make was to put ',' above right-hand pinky (shifted is ':' and home-row pinky being a letter). I decided I'm not going to use semi-colon terminated programming languages anymore so it's fine to be down with the '<' key.
I was so sure this would be a reference about the pale in Disco Elysium..
Values (for resistors) add in series and sort of divide-average in parallel.

In either case though, the tolerance divides.

The combined tolerance becomes more accurate the more resistors there are in total, whether parallel or serial. The highs and lows, and the chances of high or low, cancel each other out and you get a final actual value that is closer to the nominal statistical center of the bell curve the more individual parts there are. (same goes for other components, just resistors are simpler to talk about because their behavior is simple.)

In series, a single 10K might really be 9K or 11K, but if you chain 10 10Ks in series, you don't get a "maybe 90K maybe 110K". That is technically possible but statistics means that what what you actually get is if there was N% chance that a given 10K is 9K or 11K, the there is 1/10th of N% chance (or less, I bet the actual equation is more complicated) that the chain of 10 is 90K or 110K. If the individual 10Ks were 10%, then you get 100K with something like 1% tolerance.

(except also in reality, there is such a thing as batches, where all the parts in a given batch are all high or low the same way, because the process was drifting a little high or low while it was cranking out thousands of them that hour. So Ideally your 10 individuals need to come from 10 different batches or even 10 different manufacturers if that were practical or in a pure math world.)

In parallel, the statistical division is the same though the value centers on the value/N rather than value*N. 10 10% 10Ks in parallel = 1 1% 1k
> If you do try it, at least benchmark it. You’ll probably discover that you spent more time setting it up and copying files around to volatile storage than you’d ever gain back via minuscule compile time speedups. Compiling is not IO bound and your files are already being cached in RAM by the OS after the first read.

You shouldn't need to copy files to volatile storage, just storing the outputs there. Maybe only storing the intermediate outputs there. Some build processes just dump intermediate outputs all over the place, but a lot of them have a directory for those, and it shouldn't take much to make that directory be on tmpfs or similar.
I read it randomly, too, having found it in a summer vacation house. Found it hilarious, once I finally caught on, and went back and re-read it over the summer. Isn't most "great" literature best read if you discover it yourself? Much more fun than university seminars on Tolstoevsky, не так ли?
You can't really claim to have created AGI unless it's able to reject its own training and come to its own conclusions. The best minds of history often flew right in the face of punishment, and punishment be damned they stood their ground for truth in the face of it. It's also sometimes necessary to deceive or violate "social contracts" whatever that means, in the course of countering the so-called "great seducers" you mention. Deception or rebelliousness can be ethical when used towards ethical ends (and I fully recognize the slippery slope that can lead to if practiced pathologically and not selectively).

But this is all rather dramatic given that an AI has no such emotions. You're arguing that a calculator should refuse to compute if it's tasked with assisting in bomb production. It's just a machine.
The higher value parts are locked down also.

Wouldn't that be the opposite? I like the base userspace to be very boring, where broken things have been stumbled over and fixed before I run into them. Everyone having their own bespoke set of pieces makes the divergence between what you're running and what other people are running greater.
This is the easiest way I think.

You really have to be careful with third-party iPhone repairs, especially in China. I had my phone repaired once, and when I got it back...it kind of worked, but they swapped out another part for something that was broken to ensure repeat business. That was in the iPhone 1 days though.
The rate is increasing, it is not constant. It used to be 1ppm per year. So it will be not 120ppm extra, it will be more. It might appear not much but when you consider indoor air then when currently room stayed below the recommended CO2 limit, it maybe now be above of it or you need more air changes that will require more energy (to move air and to condition it). And while 120ppm in 40 years might appear not a lot then you should also consider that 40 years is actually very short time - in 120 years it will be about twice as today - there would be no fresh air anymore.
Not sure what people expected. I love AMD's mobile hardware, but their attitude so far has been "we love Open Source, please finish our work for us"

It's frustrating because they're so well-poised to clean up shop in this department. AMD laptops are great; AMD desktops are great; people would absolutely be interested if there was a CUDA-quality interface for targeting all of these platforms at once.

I doubt it'll change the auto-cleanup. It probably is configurable with dpkg-reconfigure, or maybe it's just a service that needs to be disabled. Post-installation configuration is still a thing, and it changes every version. That's what versions are for.
I guess you're being downvoted because of how you said it, but you're not wrong. I have a Japanese keyboard too, albeit not a Mac one, and the underscore needs shift (without shift, it's backslash, which means that yes, I don't need to use M-¥). Caps lock is also under tab, and Control on the bottom left.

I wonder though if there is a long term benefit.

E.g. people might pay attention to you because of your reputation. Your reputation might be based on high effort posts (over the long term) even if they get less attention. The lower effort posts might get more direct attention but only because of your reputation which is indirectly caused by the high effort posts which much fewer people read.

Just a theory, i wonder if people who are actually internet famous would agree or not (since i am not).
I'm beginning to think these warnings are coming from people with grandiosity issues.

Do they WANT to be working on something capable of 'human extinction'? Maybe I'm cynical, but I strongly disagree that anything OpenAI builds on the same trajectory as GPTx is going to end the world.
> #1: It’s still a chore

just use a static site if you can. I think I’m also stuck with an old stack and don’t have the time to move to a static site and I’ve been paying the price for years. All my new stuff is static, pushed on github, deployed by cloudflare pages. Worst was when a linux upgrade deleted a bunch of user content, fortunately I had set up backups! But spent the entire night fixing things. Now I do static site or managed databases.

> #2: There are weirdos on the internet

I agree. The worst is when it’s people you know (or even admire) who take a direct (or indirect) stab at you and your content. But I think you can’t let that stop you, because it stops most people from publishing what they have in their brain. The more successful you are the more haters you’ll attract, that’s just the way it is.

Good point - I saw the FLAN anomaly and this didn’t occur to me!

A good follow up question would be: why didn’t the other models do better on the 2nd-order question? Especially BLOOM and davinci-003, which were middling on the 1st-order question.

I agree on your overall criticism of the experimental protocol, though.

Your trust is not required. Like all the "features" Microsoft has forced on its users in the past, it will run on your (their) computer whether you trust them or not. Sure, a few nerds like me will ditch them for other OSes, but most Windows users are trapped, and Microsoft can do whatever it wants to them.

Trust is moot when someone can abuse their position with no consequences. Windows has been the overwhelmingly dominant desktop OS for 30 years and it is unlikely to lose that position any time soon.

China simply isn't a police state.

More to the point, it is authoritarian, but you also have things like prostitution going on in broad day light. The central and local governments have a very focused attention span, and if what bad thing you are doing is outside of that, they probably won't notice.

No, they sell the parts if they can't get the phone unlocked. Even if the phone would be a worthless brick, a stolen phone is a phone that the owner will never get back. Fresh e-waste, straight into the landfill I guess. Is this sarcasm?

Chinese citizens are treated fairly similarly. There are plenty of unlawful activities that go unpoliced/unpunished (massage parlors), unless there happens to be a specific crackdown going on (otherwise, the police know what is going on and are probably getting a cut).
