> The term highway has drifted in colloquial use

No it hasn't. "Highway" encompasses a lot of levels of road. If you're referring to an interstate, say so. That's the only thing that actually means that, and only that.
Some used to.

For example, the Cirrus Logic CL-GD5434[1] came with 1 or 2 MB of memory but had sockets to upgrade up to 4 MB

It's much faster, for one.

You may be making another point, however. If so, please be more specific.
That's not how this works. If the model does something like "this image is of race X, race X has more lung cancers, therefore this image is likely lung cancer", then it's not helpful to anyone. You need the model to evaluate based on the image itself, not based on correlations that it can infer from the image - fairness is just a happy byproduct of that.
I'm sure none of these people use freely available internet data as part of their jobs (i.e., for a profit), right?

More specific to this situation, is there really much profit in geology chatbots?

Not really. Some places did that sure. And some places do that now.

But the cargo cutled nonsense before leetcode were the brain teasers. "How many ping pong balls can fit into a 747?".

Also nonsense.
For the type of attack deployed it was a target rich list though!
I don't see how Taylor series specifically would be affected. Differentiation of sin x and cos x is the same independent of the unit of x, and nothing else is used in the series.

Fourier transform would have 4π² instead of 2π under the exponent, no big deal.

The Euler's formula gets a factor of 2π under the exponent though. Given its wide application, it adds plenty of noise, of course.

I read the “How to shrink a file system without a live cd. So here’s my one. How to shrink a file system without a live CD as part of a single command install script of a program.

My sbts-aru sound localizing recorder program does that on the pi.

I’m willing to bet that no other project on the Internet does this, but I’d love to be surprised. Let me know.

It installs the majority of the code, then reboots, shrinks the file system. Creates additional partitions and labels them installing file systems. Then finishes the install and comes up running.

So the procedure goes as follows.

sudo apt install -y git
git clone https://github.com/hcfman/sbts- aru.git
cd sbts-aru
sudo -H ./sbts_install_aru.sh

That’s it. It comes up running a recorder on a system with multiple partitions running an overlayFS on memory on the first one.

It will even work on a Raspberry Pi zero (Works on all Pi versions) and it doesn't matter if it's Raspbian or Bookworm.

Random sidenote: the article's use of "First Australians" for Aboriginal/Indigenous Australians is an odd Canadianism (cf.

Off the cuff thought, but I wonder if the early days of modern banking were marred with such blatant fraud and deceit.

I think of stage coach robberies of US bonds, and the various bank “rug-pulls” (to use crypto fraud nomenclature) that occurred before the Coinage act of 1857 - but it’s such distant history it’s hard to find how people felt about it at the time.

What I’m getting at is this - is crypto fraud innate to it’s very essence, or did all “advancements” in banking technology have the same problem before everyone settled in and “got used” to attempts at fraud.
Throughout history most wars were fought primarily via pitched battles, a very different type of war than the continues trench warfare of the first world war.

Also throughout history there just wasn't much attention for regular people, and they're seriously under-represented in the historical record in pretty much
every way. Do you think some Roman general is going to write about his soldiers crying about how horrible war is? Of course not; that would make him and his army look bad. He was much more likely to under-represent his numbers to make his army look good ("we defeated the Barbarian horde of 50,000 with just 5,000 soldiers!" sounds a lot better than "our armies were of equal numbers but we won"). And the soldiers themselves typically didn't leave any records.

And throughout much of history there just wasn't all that much attention for these types of problems in the first place. Patton famously slapped some soldiers dealing with shell shock because he thought it was just fake and they needed to "man up". That was probably more or less the typical response for much of history.

How does this surprise anyone?

Medical data for AI training is almost always sources in some more or less shady country because they lack any privacy regulations. It's then annotated by a hoard of cheap workers who may or may not have advanced medical training.

Even "normal medicine" is extremely biased towards male people fitting inside the norm which is why a lot of things are not detected early enough in women or in people who do not match that norm.

Next thing: Doctors often think that their annotations are the absolute gold standard but they don't necessarily know everything that is in an X-Ray or an MRI.

A few years ago we tried to build synthetic data for this exact purpose by simulating medical images for 3D body models with different diseases and nobody we talked to cared about it, because "we have good data".

What a classy understatement. I find the strategy employed by Wisp predictable and infuriating. Like insects or other near-automata, humanity is racing to the bottom with "Generative AI". And I use "AI" in the loosest possible sense here, because once you pull back the curtain, current tech is actually only a slightly better Markov chain.

After using chatgpt regularly, it's responses to anything but the most trivial, clueless questions are riddled with errors and "hallucinations".

That's the idea, you won't have to discover - instead you can just create the game you want.

Suggesting that the macros of C and Rust may be the same is an insane failure.

Yeah, I always hated that you couldn't set up email/password authentication. It's a stupid idea to use only third-party IDPs for authentication. People usually have multiple accounts with Google or use different emails for Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., which they want to keep from sharing with other apps. And I'm supposed to remember which account I used to log into a specific app?! No, thanks.
The authors refer to a literature describing "shortcuts" as "correlations that are present in the data but have no real clinical basis, for instance deep models using the hospital as a shortcut for disease prediction". It feels like a parallel language is developing. Most of us would call such a phenomenon "overfitting" or describe some specific issue with generalization. That example is not a shortcut in any normal sense of the word unless you are providing the hospital via some extra path.

They call demographics like age and sex "shortcuts" but I find this to be a frustrating term since it seems to obscure what's happening under the hood. (They cite many papers using the same word, so I'm not blaming them for this usage.) Men are typically larger; old bones do not look like young bones. There is plenty of biology involved in what they refer to as demographic shortcuts.

I think you could take the same results and say "Models are able to distinguish men from women. For our purposes, it's important that they cannot do this. Therefore, we did XYZ on these weakly labeled public databases." But perhaps that sounds less exciting.
Try searching for DMX-512, the industry standard protocol for controlling all manner of lighting devices. Since you are more interested in the software side, you could look at a product such as: https://djcity.com.au/product/laserworld-el-400rgb-laser which you can then control using a USB-to-DMX512 dongle.

Building your own unit is possible, but you'll need electronics and mechanical engineering skills. Even micro-mirror devices require lots of electronics.
Yup. All licensing is about brokering control. The only license that grants true freedom is no license, i.e. public domain. Everything else is a “where’s the control” shell game.

AI will not only pass many classical spam filters (Bayesian filters), it will also make it much harder for humans to detect spam (OP's post being a good example).

I never fell for a spam mail so far (i.e. not once clicked a link like OP did), but I fully expect this will change soon. Tough times for people that commonly expect mail from random strangers.
MATLAB is not open source, or even free.
In a dev environment you can use the Vite dev server, which serves every module separately, compiles them on the fly as they’re requested, and hot-reloads them when they change. All at the granularity of single files. Bundling then only happens when building the final output.

I think most people who follow these issues would not expect a ban like this to be effective. To think otherwise is extremely naive, not unlike the Biden administration folks who thought they could break the Russian economy with their sanctions and ended up doing quite the opposite, not to mention laying the groundwork for the US dollar to lose international reserve currency status.
Nice question! The paper acknowledges that LLMs generate mutations slower and are more costly than traditional methods like PIT and Major, which are traditional testing tools. They did include metrics like cost per 1K mutations. However, the researchers focused on the effectiveness and high quality of the mutations generated by LLMs. For instance, GPT-3.5 achieves a 96.7% real bug detectability rate compared to Major’s 91.6% (not to mention GPT-4 outperformed all of them). All in all, LLMs produced fewer equivalent mutants, mutants with higher fault detection potential, as well as higher coupling and semantic similarity with real faults.
> it compells governments to censor speech. Look at the EU where "hate speech" laws and laws against "disinformation" were introduced and the ongoing battle with chat control

Was the bar just higher?

In web dev interviews, in the UK, the bar was much lower. It was rare to be asked anything that resembled a leetcode question. Everything was focused around the technology stack you'd be using, the culture of the company, and 'agile' (before people called it that).
The comment you're replying to is almost certainly a power fantasy and not actual behavior from an interviewer. Basically, someone I had power over was rude to me, and I got revenge with a relevant programmer story.
> And what do you recommend? Start ww3 before Russia does?

I'm not sure if you noticed that Russia already started WW3 if it's path of escalation doesn't stop with a clear defeat of its invasion of Ukraine.

Even their talking heads have been openly talking about WW3 for over a year. They have been threatening the Baltics with an annexation and pretty much the entire western Europe with nuclear annihilation.

They aren't exactly shy in voicing their plans, where they were counting in their 3-day invasion of Ukraine to be the catalyst for western Europe in particular and NATO in general to simply fold and accept the annexation by Russia of countries right up to Poland.

If you were a historian in a century from now, how would you describe Russia's antics?

One of the key propaganda pieces of Russia in this war is how "the west" is forcing Ukrainians to die by giving them the necessary means to resist and oppose Russia's invasion and genocide of Ukraine. Flipping this over, it reads as if they know the strategy of de escalation followed by "the west" is to turn Russia's 3-day invasion into a long drawn-out unsustainable war of attrition, designed to decimate Russia's armed forces and eliminate their ability to even consider the prospects of a war of aggression in decades to come. In the meantime, Europe is also ramping up it's defense sector just in case Ukraine doesn't hold.
+ it would be great to see more research comparing LLMs and traditional methods in terms of cost-effectiveness. In my opinion, regarding the cost issue, there are engineering ways to mitigate this, such as running the LLMs only on changed code.

I’m actually thrilled by this, as it means all the hack marketers that spam my inbox incessantly with whatever product they’re hucking - this time for sure perfect for my business, in spite of the fact I’ve ignored their last ten emails - are all out of a job, and good riddance.

The author sounds unfamiliar with this brand of marketing email, so I can see why it would come off disquieting to find it’s all AI - but it’s equally annoying from a human.

At least with AI sending this crap nobody can use these emails to justify their sales bonus.

> If you're more an industry person trying to apply academic research, well in general, you probably want a good textbook synthesis of the field rather than trying to understand stuff from research papers.

That sentence there is what will probably be the wedge point that gives LLM-heavy communities an advantage. As LLMs improve, the question becomes "why shouldn't industry people apply academic research directly?".

> ... as far as I can tell, current LLMs are just ...

We're in the upswing of a new technology, it wasn't that long ago that interesting progress was a monthly or weekly occurrence. I'm not to phased about where we might be right now. Alibaba are one of the companies with every chance of pushing the state of the art forward and regardless of that that state is going to get pushed by someone.
It's not too hard to train yourself to identify sex or approximate age. (I claim this because of time spent reviewing model output for work that I have done to build models to estimate age.) The reason radiologists don't do this is that there is no clinical reason to do it, so it's not a skill that they develop. (Deep neural networks can also beat radiologists at bird classification, another task that is not relevant for their job.)

Cool. Now try appropriating a Standing Committee member’s intellectual property.
Sports nutrition is pretty sus as a field though. Creatine gets recommended because it's cheap and tested. Problem is most of what creatine functionally does is flood your muscles with water, improve leverages somewhat to get a few more reps on medium-high rep ranges, which has a real training effect, provided you're at level where that extra stimulus helps. Which is to say intermediate-advanced lifters who needs to seriously periodize/plan stimulus recovery cycles to progress. Which excludes 99% of genpop that wouldn't seriously strength train past novice phase at all.

If anything deserves funding/destigmatization, it would be steroids that packs on lean mass merely sitting around. Would be nice if billions gets put into steriods that doesn't adversely effect heart etc. Gen pop needs ozempic tier solutions.
It's truely a race to the bottom. Cold email response rates are already ~1% industry average. Every outbound tool is adding the AI customization, and there is a slew of 'AI sales rep' companies promising more and more personalized spam.

There will likely be rewards at first. An uptick in response rates as most of the market won't recognize emails are AI generated. But because it's trivial to send AI personalized emails at massive scale, your email inbox will become entirely useless.
Hesse's Castalia was detached, but that was explicitly by way of contrast with mid-XX fascism (whose most extreme proponents didn't even bother tracing out their paths as concluders, who at least attempt to motivate their conclusions, would). Compare Zweig, Schachnovelle (1942).

Even static reflection isn’t a panacea and we have it now the libraries like PFR that give us a reference and name of each member for aggregates. But this is the same problem for anything else using those types too. For non-aggregates we need reflection or some manual library.

If you want animation, then DMX-512 is inadequate. You are looking at frame-buffer to beam director(s) conversion. That would be specific to the hardware you have. The systems that I have come across are proprietary and designed to be rented-out out to event organizers.

Small consumer drones being purchased from DJI is very different from the Chinese government developing Shahed attack drones...
One other hidden Bazel trap that I've seen is for companies to migrate a large codebase to Bazel, but then to rely on OS-provided tools and libraries. Commonly, this gets paired with a glib answer like "it's fine, we build from inside of a Docker container". But I've never seen that Docker image linked into Bazel's dependency resolver, or the compose scripts used to launch the container.

This has the following effects:

1. There are unexpressed package/tool dependencies.
2. Across a large organization, Bazel's reproducibility guarantees go out the window.
3. Developers can't just clone the repo and start using Bazel. Instead, they have to pull down some pinned Docker image, or build it themselves and lose reproducibility.
4. This effectively poisons the cache whenever the Docker image is updated or rebuilt. If using a shared remote cache, it can be a major issue.

If an organization isn't big enough to vendor every single tool dependency, shared library, etc (which basically requires building out an OS distribution in Bazel), what's the right way to approach this problem?
