I disagree with that.

In the case of food delivery, there's socially and economically useful work of getting food from where it can be efficiently created (restaurants) to where it can be efficiently consumed (hungry people's location). In the absence of that work, the hungry people would be making their own food (less efficient, generally, than restaurant cooking which can do larger batches) or going to get their own food (less efficient, at least plausibly, because a delivery worker can make multiple deliveries on one drive rather than a strict out and back trip that people would take).

The thing that makes fixing a broken window "fake" economic growth is that it is arguing that destruction is economically useful because of the work to fix it, but nothing's being broken in this case. People are naturally hungry on a pretty regular basis, and the production and transportation of food is economically and socially useful work, which in this case was being subsidized by capital.

Is it curing cancer? No, but it's not digging holes and filling them up again either.

If I ever let it AI write code, I'd write serious tests for it.

Just like I do with my own code.

Both AI and I "hallucinate" sometimes, but with good tests you make things work.
> "In a brief filed on behalf of the relatives of Mortimer Sackler, most of whom are based overseas, lawyers warned of “significant litigation costs and risks” in seeking to enforce any foreign court judgments against the family if the settlement were thrown out."

I understand your point, but basically they are saying: "We hid all our assets to evade the law. Give us immunity from criminal money laundering evasion and we will only pay part of what we likely would have owed."

Can you imagine a member of Congress or the President saying this? Forgoing immunity is a scorched earth tactic, but it is also one that will dissuade future abusers. We have those overseas money reporting laws that make it difficult for Americans to get bank accounts overseas. Let's use them!
Protobuf can typically be about 70-80% smaller than the equivalent JSON payloads. If you care about Network I/O costs (at a large scale), you'd probably want to realize a benefit in cost savings like that.

Additionally, I think people put a lot of trust into JSON parsers across ecosystems "just working", and I think that's something more people should look into (it's worse than you think): https://seriot.ch/projects/parsing_json.html
Depends on what you mean by quality. The best complete package probably wins, although that's not the same for everybody.
In the end it's the government's fault (which implies the taxpayer's fault) for having a system where they hire these types of cops.

As I understand it, it's a beta test at best. It's mostly for scientists to prove it's safe ethical and worth the money of moving forward to test on humans, more than evidence of the underlining hypothesis. It is to be taken with a grain of salt. If it's working for you now keep doing it, if you're not doing it don't feel pressured to do it, just keep an eye out.

Usually that's what I hear from the bio/fitness PHDs breaking down studies on nutrition/drug effects for fitness/nutrition.
The conclusion of the paper is the title. Extrapolating out from it to conclusions about humans should be regarded as just that, an extrapolation until tested otherwise.
That decision seems practical (especially at Google scale).

I think the main problem with it, is that you cannot distinguish if the field has the default value or just wasn't set (which is just error prone).

However, there are solutions to this, that add very little overhead to the code and to message size (see e.g. [1]).

Obviously.
I think this is obviously a both yes and no answer.

Yes in that we are both mammals, and we have similar bodies given our common ancestors.

No in that even different humans have different responses to diets, so why should mammalian cousins be enlightening on medical issues.

Science is complicated and everything is a question of scope and ability to test. It’s certainly used information, but should probably be replicated and then experimented with by humans.
Fuck that. Fuck everything about that.

I would consider myself fairly critical and I don't have your problem. Mostly because I can understand different needs, interests, and contexts. For example, I usually don't hold small talk to the same standard as technical discussions. If a friend or SO says something I perceive as "patently false", does it bother me? Depends on the context of the discussion. I allow people to express themselves. Is that open mindedness? Not really.

Most people, or at least the ones I interact with, really aren't as unintelligent as you describe in this post.

I think you're talking about the certificate signing stuff which isn't technically the same as cross-compiling.

But anyway, the whole topic I brought up is Valve's Proton layer which doesn't require cross-compiling the game to Mac OS. That's the whole reason I think that solution would be the best way to get decent gaming support on the Mac. Cross-compiling literally wouldn't have anything to do with it.
I can't downvote you, but I presume that you're being downvoted because your comment seemed to not understand the context of the thread.

A. Someone proposed making copyright "use it or lose it"

B. Someone else said this could have unintended consequences, like people breaking into your house to take a copy of a work where copyright has lapsed.

C. I pointed out that's not how copyright works: it has nothing to do with control of physical artifacts.

D. You then presumed that the copyright runs for a long time, which contradicts the premise we're talking about in "A", and is completely out of left field. (In any case, it's irrelevant to the question in B-C; if I have the one of the only extant copies of something from a century ago, you still can't come take it to make a copy).
Here's a napkin for when you're finished.

Copyright protects works at the moment they are created, not when they are reproduced or distributed. Most of the works under copyright protection have never been distributed.

> You may find the money a pittance, but the victims decided otherwise.

When you say 'the victims' are you implying they all agreed to this? So they are all okay with giving up their individual right to sue for damages? You make several points which imply that this is some kind of consensus position that everyone is okay with. That's the root of the problem, though -- this settlement in no way addresses the damage to all the victims.

Perhaps renegotiate the agreement so that it only immunizes Purdue/Sacklers from further civil action from

In any case, when I say pittance, I was clearly talking about relative to the financial resources of the US. This is a national problem, we can afford to solve it at a societal level without being forced into accepting an unjust settlement.

Or, you know, you could drive (or bike! or waymo!) to the local train station, which should have <30 min, well-scheduled, predictable headways to major cities, then take a train that goes 150+mph, and then drive (or bike! or waymo!) to your final destination, for _far_ less total energy expenditure.

Every car in a train-caravan is schlepping along its own engine, crumple zones, airbags....and with rubber tires...

Microsoft painted themselves into a corner with Windows and backwards compatibility.

They do crap like UI mixing (old and new versions existing together) because backwards compatibility is what got them the marketshare they have in the enterprise (well that and anti-competitive practices). At some point, to improve their products, they are going to have to break compatibility and just push forward, and yet they can't because that would immediately alienate a significant portion of their enterprise customers that rely on that compatibility to run old software from vendors that no longer exist, that are critical to operating some niche equipment - hell, it's not uncommon for me to see air gapped windows XP machines still in production running some critical workload.

So they're stuck because they both simultaneously need to move forward but also can't break the old stuff without screwing over their customers.
I wonder if most of the dangerous levels of kinetic energy in the potato would have bled off from air resistance though by the time it reached your ship.

Didn't X switch to Stripe already? There was a huge uproar over people protesting Palestine being concerned about having their ID (with home address), biometrics (which they admitted to collecting), and other info to a company with such direct ties to Israel.

I don't know about this company specifically, but I know it's common for the government to essentially act as an incubator for tech companies, so the concerns probably weren't unwarranted.

I guess even with the switch, some people probably verified prior so it likely has some impact on X still -- and maybe this is actually what moved the needle internally, since the users were calling it out as a concern for quite some time.

I had no clue uber and tiktok used them though, so that's good to know - thankfully I haven't given them my biometrics as of yet.
This is the biggest point. You can simply not use them. Cook your own food or walk or drive or bike to a restaurant.

There is a massive market of lazy AF people who also are terrible at personal financial management, and they are the ones complaining.

Ask HN: What's Wrong with IRC?
With the proliferation of chat apps like Slack, Discord, Teams, etc. why don't more companies just set up their own IRC server?

The pricing for Slack seems insane for something that was essentially a solved problem 30 years ago.

Admittedly, I haven't used IRC much and I know the UI/UX isn't the best, but that could probably be fixed pretty easily and tacked on to the existing messaging infrastructure?
It's not the pointers themselves so much as what they're typically used for. How would you do dynamic sizing? Imagine sending just a struct of integer arrays this way, you'd have to either know their sizes ahead of time or just be ok with sending a lot of empty bits up to some max size. And recursive structures would be impossible.

You could get around this with a ton of effort around serdes, but it'd amount to reinventing ASN1 or Protobuf.
There will probably be different problems like cops not being familiar with the community they are policing but yeah I think it would be a huge improvement to have all cops come under a federal umbrella. Local corruption is absolutely insane with police in the US.

In the Llama 3 case I think the increase in parameters is mostly due to the input embeddings and output logits layers, reflecting the context size increase.
Good hyphenation and TeX-like paragraph-level justification (tries to balance whitespace throughout a paragraph rather than just filling each line up with as much as possible and breaking when a word overflows) would do a lot to fix that.

The lack of these is most noticeable when text is in narrower columns. But even with larger e-readers it is, IMO, responsible for a lot of the “this still feels less readable than a book for some reason” vibe that ebooks (and lots of self-published paper books) still have.

I really lament that in the switch to electronic text we seem to have forgotten what were thought of as basic requirements for readability in paper-based publication.
Doesn't look like Inngest allows you to self-host either.
Oh how quickly we've forgotten the Snowden Leaks.

They all spy on each other's citizens. When it's not possible to do it directly, they will use covert means a la NSA slurping up data via transit lines, etc.

It being an Israeli startup makes your data no less safe from spying eyes than doing business with a UK startup or any other allied nation.
gRPC was based on a HTTP draft that predated the standardization of HTTP/2, so presumably that statement was said about HTTP/1. HTTP/2 may not have existed at the time it was asserted.

What's the most obvious standouts?

In my experience, smaller models tend to do well on benchmarks and fail at generalization. Phi-2 comes to mind.
I used to think exactly like this. I'll tell you what helped me.

1. Remember that you also say or believe wrong things quite often. Do people regularly get upset about it and call you out? Or do they give you grace because they care about you whether you're factually right or wrong? You'll be much happier if you learn some intellectual humility. Even the smartest people aren't right all the time (or even 90% of it).

2. Go to therapy. Learn how to practice intellectual flexibility, graciousness, and humility. Find out if you might have OCPD or be on the autism spectrum (not saying you come across that way, but it's worth discussing). It sounds like you, your wife, or both would be miserable with you constantly looking down on her and being irritated. She certainly deserves better than that.

3. Ask yourself whether you'd rather be right all the time or you'd rather have healthy, fulfilling relationships. You generally can't have both.

I am (much) smarter than the average person and almost never feel the urge to call someone stupid anymore or correct them when they're wrong. Most people are much smarter than you think because you're judging them on a scale you've put yourself at the top of.
Was that a serious question?

If so, JSON is just a raw data object. I suppose one could read it with a screen reader, but whether that makes sense depends how the data is structured. But it would not be a great experience.

> Sounds like woo.

O, definitely woo. I tried to make that explicitly clear by using “hypothesis” and “appearance”.

My hypothesis is less “optimization solutions == consciousness” and more positing that our brains, “action potentials” was meant as cheeky shorthand for the human brain, use an “optimization solution” that we identify as “consciousness”, or as you put it “sentience”.

But to quote South Park, “and I base that on absolutely nothing”. ;P
In reality, humans are often blunt and rude pessimists who say things can't be done. But "helpful chatbot" LLM's are specifically trained not to do that for anything but crude swaths of political/social/safety alignment.

When it comes to technical details, current LLM's have a bias towards sycophancy and bullshitting that humans only show when especially desperate to impress or totally fearful.

Humans make mistakes too, but the distribution of those mistakes is wildly different and generally much easier to calibrate for and work around.

Valid concerns but completely misses the point. The point is that most people largely live in the moment and in previous times we had social pressure, limited alternative entertainment options and abortion/birth control being shoddy/dangerous.

In that environment living in the moment responding to your immediate wants and desires largely led to some form of partnership and children to make you happier in your old age/ carry on society.

In an environment where social pressure has largely broken down (for both great benefit and great cost), birth control/abortion being inexpensive, relatively safe and effective, and a plethora of alternative entertainment options you see what unchecked living in the moment responding to your immediate desires gets you because it's what we have. There's no social pressure keeping the mid life crisis in check keeping marriages together through that trying time into old age where the partnership is really needed. There's often no partnership and no children to begin with. There's also much less missing out on the great talent of women in the work force, much better situations for homosexuals, etc. How do we keep the good and do away with the bad in a way that ensures the continuation of the species? I don't think anyone knows, as I certainly don't know. I think it's more likely the religious out procreate us and eventually gain a voting block big enough to push policy back towards the bad old (but stable/growing population situation) days, or the whole thing collapses and something else rises in the ashes after a prolonged dark ages like after the fall of Rome.

I've been using this approach myself, albeit manually, with ChatGPT. I first ask my question, then open a new chat and ask it to find flaws with the previous answer. Quite often, it does improve the end result.
I see what you're saying so what OpenAI will do next is create an army of GPT critics and then run them all in parallel to take some kind of quorum vote on correctness. I guess it should work in theory if the error rate is small enough and adding more critics actually reduces the error rate. My guess is that in practice they'll converge to the population average rate of error and then pat themselves on the back for a job well done.
