Which elements were the source of pain?

Writing web applications and back-ends in F#, as far as I'm aware, is straightforward and a joy because of integration with the rest of ecosystem.
That's very subjective I guess, because it would also depend on your familiarity with the subject matter. I can for example easily read and understand a recursive descent parser in any language because I have implemented it multiple times and can catch a common pattern. Unless the language in question corrupts that pattern (highly unlikely unless it's an esolang :-), that definition of "magic" should be largely independent from the language itself.
GDP and GDP PPP are almost irrelevant with regards to personal wealth or lack thereof. A factory making billions to its owner doesn't improve the revenues, wealth or standard of living of more than 1 person. A factory producing luxury Louis Vuitton handbags is good for GDP and the wealth of the factory owner, but is irrelevant to the living conditions of the workers. A private equity firm making wild bets is very "productive", GDP wise, but again , entirely irrelevant at a personal level. Even the worker's salary is tough to compare in isolation between countries because of the vastly different costs of living - an American having to pay tens of thousands of student loans back, with obscene housing prices, absurdly expensive healthcare... $200k/year in San Francisco might not get you as far as e.g. 100€k/year in Berlin (throwing numbers for illustration, haven't actually done the math).

Come on, this is Econ 101 and basic logic.
If you get any answer, isn't the only way to know whether it is right or wrong to understand it?

What is critiqued here isn't that people manage to add numbers the right way. What is critiqued here is in a metaphorical sense that students learn the results for any given input by hard, and don't understand what addition does and what happens when you add things.

As someone who had mechanical engineering classes if I had to pick someone to build my plane I'd pick someone who understands that the bend on a 5m aluminum rod is not going to be in the order of 2km over a person that accepts that result because they think they applied the rules they learned.

You only get the former kind of thinking by making people understand what they are doing. And a good way to avoid developing that understanding is by constantly focus on things being right instead of only doing so in special situations (e.g. a test).
The media obsession with Sam Altman reminds me of the old dutch saying 'high trees capture a lot of wind' (hoge bomen vangen veel wind)

I suppose that's why many HNWI individuals consciously stay below the radar.
It seems recycling via pyrolysis is an obvious answer.
But is this a problem?
I would be fairly happy with that definition, but I wouldn't rely on it out-of-context.

(I would definitely call Neanderthals "human" in almost any context.)
Obviously the value proposition is not just money, it's about projecting soft power/influence/cultural values/propaganda.
So a human with a lesser IQ and EQ would be less conscious with that logic, hence worth much less and yet the concept of justice applies equally.

Intelligence is not consciousness. Consciousness is the thing that animates otherwise dead matter.
They are also considered conscious in Islam : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_in_Islam
Yes, but that doesn't explain how OpenAI able to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time, unless you think there is some extra spark that Google is lacking.
If there is such a thing as consciousness, no matter its variety (like how the viscosity of water varies on a "spectrum" without become its opposites ice or steam), there is by necessity such a thing as non-consciousness. That's just how concepts go.
I have experience in both R&D and product. Both need different approaches to work. The goals of people working on the model will be different from product people. As mentioned by the other user, a product team can look at things produced from research and see how it can bring it to users.
Why those moderation attempts are not considered as national security threat? I can imagine how foreign power could take advantage of this.

Thanks for providing the data. Sorry, I was on mobile, so had a harder time finding the numbers in a way that I can share.

For anyone following at home, here's the important bit for the earlier period:

> The risk adjusted return of the portfolio [Adobe], measured by the Sharpe Ratio, was 0.57. Whereas the Sharpe ratio of the benchmark [S&P500] was 0.57.

And for the later period:

> The risk adjusted return of the portfolio [Adobe], measured by the Sharpe Ratio, was 0.93. Whereas the Sharpe ratio of the benchmark [S&P500] was 0.69.

Thanks!
If the branch predictor to predict branches ahead it needs to know where the branches instructions are. Is there a mini decoder tasked to just decode the instruction stream just enough to handle the variable length instructions and figure out where the branches are? Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding how branch prediction works (which likely I am)?
not a noob question, here's how the LLM works:

```

prompt = "..."

output = []

do:

token_probabilities = call_model(prompt)

best_token = pick_best(token_probabilities)

if best_token == '<END>':

break

output += best_token

while true

return output

```

basically to support generation they would need to modify pick_best to support constraining. That would make it so they can't optimize the hot loop at their scales. They support super broad output constraints like JSON which apply to everyone, but that leads to other issues (things like chain-of-thought/reasoning perform way worse in structured responses).

This is in the surface language only: Futhark's arrays must be "rectangular" (if you have an array of arrays, the subarrays are mandated to be equally-sized; this is statically checked in most cases, and when it can't, it becomes a runtime check), and thus they are represented as a single, actual multi-dimensional array.
Again, they are "legally required" to treat some people like all the other people their business supports in public.

> Everything in Python is evaluated at runtime

That is not correct. Python generally has two "runtimes": one is on import, when all of the module level code is evaluated; and the runtime, when the bodies of various functions and methods are evaluated. The two can be combined, e.g. by importing a module from within a function, but generally they are separate.

> Bytecode is just a form of caching

Not quite. It is perfectly possible to deploy just the bytecode and disable recompiling on import.

> Python doesn't have a standard

Of course it does -- CPython is the reference implementation, so its behaviour is "correct".

The problem with wikis is similar to the problem with forums... it's not that they do not work really well, they do, but it's that the cost of running a single wiki or forum in terms of operational overhead and hosting costs is significant.

Dynamic user generated content is going to do two things:

1) it's going to result in you needing a database and a web server, capable of a few concurrent users (in addition to bots and guests) but likely sized to handle your spikes in traffic... i.e. over-sized, let's ballpark at $50 per month (people will argue some specifics, but in general this is indicative)

2) it's going to result in you needing to stay up to date, moderate new users, and manage spam... i.e. it requires a disproportionate time investment

and the content is likely crappy, you were just having shits and giggles and nerding out on some small thing that you got excited about... not quite worth those costs.

the solution then is a multi-tenant platform that distributes the ops, cost and moderation problem evenly across many sites, so perhaps the $ cost to you is $1 per month, and time is hardly anything.

but now you've got a different problem, now there's a central entity that "owns" the platform and likely helped itself to a license allowing it to use all of the content, monetise away and profit of the fandom of others.

there are anarchic platforms to counter this, but they're small and cannot be the destination for people to migrate to, and so we're stuck with either the high overhead, costs, and burnout of individual sites, or these crappy platforms taking their users for granted.

though now I wonder... what license is fandom content under? can an independent entity scrape it and start over?
I worked for Adobe and it was very much _not_ "one thing". My work there involved literally tens of thousands of software services across three major segments and hundreds of products.

Besides, monkey-see monkey-do is an innate skill of humans, and it works. Especially with children, who have a very undeveloped ability to reason. Reason comes later.

Learning starting from basic principles is introduced in high school, but is foundational at the university level. By then the students can understand it.
Interesting take! I like how the app embellishes the real world rather than replacing it. What’s more interesting is that old me would like this app way more than young me.

When young me had wanted to date and was lonely enough to use an app, just seeing an attractive person in real life could be stressful and therefore awkward if it felt like a high stakes, rare opportunity…something this app would make worse.

However, to older me who doesn’t care anymore but would want to meet an interesting somebody, no stress, this app could make a great ice breaker. A neet niche you’ve found!

How do you deal with partial matches of interests?

The word human is commonly used for both modern humans and members of the entire genus Homo. Hominids is a more general superset that isn't strictly correct here. The term hominin is more appropriate in this context and what they actually use in the abstract.

In my opinion though, "human" is the better word here for conveying the right mix of informality without implying the specific semantics of "Hominini sans Pan".
I get that you'd prefer to gain karma by posting not commenting but the gating method is based on comment karma to earn the right to get posting karma.

Artists who make it usually have a legend, a story to tell or be told by their friends, associates, agents, publishers, gallerists, etc. That story has a human dimension that touches the rest of us and we somehow connect to it. Van Gogh cut of his ear, we still keep talking about it and wondering why? There is nothing AI can tell us about itself, its "art". The artistic struggle with AI is not about expressing your vision on a canvas in a way that makes others feel what you want them to feel but about forcing it to generate something it is incapable of generating or programmed not to generate. We got to the point where we are given crayons programmed to not draw the things others do not want them to draw or to draw HR-approved version of what the artist wants to draw. The future is now and it's shit.

But you don't have the code, just the changes to the Linux-Kernel, and that is often NOT the secret sauce.

Again buy proprietary or don't, the license (if opensource) has nothing to do with it.
That might be true, maybe. My point was that

I assume the misspellings "agnecy" and "sutdents" are intentional, as showing perfectionism would be a sign of white supremacy.

Thanks! We should add that to the docs haha. But the here's a few:

- keys without strings

- coercing singular types -> arrays when the response requires an array

- removing any prefix or suffix tags

- picking the best of many JSON candidates in a string

- unescaped newlines + quotes so "afds"asdf" converts to "afds\"asdf"

In terms of models, honestly, we tried as bad as llama2, and it seems to work in quite a few use cases

Your comment about Eurovision is simply wrong. The countries participating, with the exception of Australia, are all current or prior members of a European Broadcasting Union. The event was devised as content and when Israel joined the broadcasting organization they got the opportunity to pay to participate. Australia is involved because they requested participation as the event is massively popular there.

Europe is a political concept more than it is a geography. Copenhagen and Berlin are tied together by law. Moscow and Berlin are not. Saying “Europe” in this context without reference to politics is meaningless. There is borderless trade within the EU but not with the UK. That is a fundamental difference and just one example.

> What the LLM community refuses to see is that there is a limit to the patience and the financing the rest of the world will grant you before you're told, "it doesn't work mate."

The point about LLM's is they may have a lot of drawbacks right now but they're improving at a rapid pace. They already are very useful. There are hundreds of stories coming out of companies effectively leveraging them to replace workers in many natural-language related tasks. They're far more useful than a car that goes off a cliff.

Nobody more useful than an LLM is being effectively replaced by an LLM. Those few companies that jump the gun too early are suffering for it.

>That sign

We already have dishwashers and washing machines. Companies are working on making humanoid robots that can do those things, it's just that it's harder to develop a fully-fledged embodied humanoid than it is to create the diffusion models and LLM's being used today. It's not some conspiracy to let AI do all the fun stuff first.

Nobody is preventing anyone from making art or writing poetry. If someone finds value in AI art or writing, either you have to accept that they weren't the audience member you wanted, or you have to accept that your ability to be creative is a learnable algorithm same as anything else.

No, that wasn't my point. My point was that the mono-causal point

New Zealand PM hitches ride on commercial plane after jet breaks down
You would be reading your CFO or lawyer's summary of the important points. In this case, the only important point is probably literally just "We filed the S-1, everything went normally".

Do you use an accountant to file your taxes? Do you read the entire tax document they submit, or do you just look at their summary of "after this much in deductions, you owe this much"?

If you do read the document in full, good on you, but I assure you most people don't, in the same way that most CEOs don't read every single document the company's lawyer produces.
As a former owner of several cats, I can say that the cats I had definitely had consciousness. They were able to read my emotions and react to it. They knew how to get what they wanted. One of them loved looking at a mirror while wiping its face (It had observed me doing it). I could go on.

It's an interesting perspective. I understand that the language choices they made were strong and thus not for everyone, but I don't see a reason to be rude about it. If it didn't make any sense to you it's probably because you didn't find it worth your time to parse it out, or similarly that there was unfamiliar terminology you didn't judge it worth your time to look up. That's fine, but that's a choice you made, no sense blaming them for it.
>> "There is a greater focus on getting the "right" answer than understanding concepts and reasoning."

That sounds somewhat specious, lying about what you support in your cost calculation library is a pretty big oof. It's hard to rank it versus kicking puppys, but, I don't think we have to stack-rank bad things to figure out if it's okay to call out unethical behavior.
> I had a math teacher that managed to do integrals with us for a year without ever explaining to us (in a school specialized on mechanical engineering) what real world problems would be impossible to solve without it.

People will never agree on this. We've known about the concept of intelligence for much, much longer than computers have been around and we still don't have a common definition or set of rules to check. That also makes things like consciousness and death pretty hard to define in medicine, leading to inconsistent rules across jurisdictions. For AGI in particular, I guarantee you that no matter which test gets beaten, the majority of humanity will always just move the goalpost and claim it's not "real" AGI because "reasons." Because the opposite would mean they have to admit that they are now the lesser intelligence on the planet.
My point wasn't that there was a need to involve law enforcement. My point was that overzealous law enforcement will use this as yet another excuse to crack down on people who value privacy.
Spur – RISC IV: The Lisp Multiprocessor Workstation
The sign reads (paraphrased): “I want AI to do my dishes so I can do art. Not do art so I can do my dishes”

Your response is “learn to art”
“The nerds dont owe you anything.”
“Most of You would be unsuccessful anyway”

You brought in absolutely unrelated items.

1) Learn art - that is baked into what the Sign is saying. There is no Terminal Point for being an artist.

2) Nerds dont… - Where nerds come in as a class for this conversation?

2.1) if you can speak for all nerds, please note that I sure as heck dont want Warhammer 40k, I want Star Trek.

3) Most would be unsuccessful - so what?

Are they happy practicing their craft? Do they have the choice to spend their time on those pursuits and enrich their lives, and share their joys with others around them?

Optimize a creature for "survival" over billions of years and you get behavior like this. It doesn't require consciousness however. And it's quite hard to ask a spider whether it is conscious or not.
