In developing countries, loss of power or even water is common. America has simply forgotten what that reality is like. In reality, there’s only a thin barrier between what we consider modern civilization and a tougher life.
> I read through your entire article and the three main points I took away from it were also contained in the gpt4o summary I then generated to compare afterwards. So here's some empirical counter evidence.

But evidence of what, precisely? How do we measure failure and what failure rate is sufficient?

As is, would you be comfortable with doctors applying it to all of your medical records?
But now you run into the tragedy of the commons.

The fact is that this does help organisations. Definitely not all of the orgs that buy Crowdstrike, but rapid defence against evolving threats is a valuable thing for companies.

So, individually it’s good for a company. But as a whole, and as currently implemented, it’s not good for everyone.

However that doesn’t matter. Because individually it’s a benefit.
I think I'm making a case for skepticism here, in the light of all the unsettledness of the science, especially the recent, New Shiny topics.
I'm not sure I agree with your second footnote. Beowulf is written in Old English, which is quite hard for modern English speakers to read on account of being German. Middle English, however, I think you'd find fairly palatable. For example, the Peterborough Chronicle (https://adoneilson.com/eme/texts/peterborough_40.html) is _roughly_ contemporaneous with the Tale of Genji and is readable by modern English speakers.

DNC needs a policy where they won’t endorse candidates who will be over 65 on the day they take office.

When it comes to their primaries, the only obligation that they have to is to follow their own rules, and the only people that are allowed to hold them to that obligation are they themselves, and maybe their vendors.

They aren't even obligated to donors who donated under the assumption that there's some promise or legal requirement that their primaries be fair. That case was dismissed, and resulted in the quote from DNC lawyer Bruce Spiva:

"You know, again, if you had a charity where somebody said, Hey, I’m gonna take this money and use it for a specific purpose, X, and they pocketed it and stole the money, of course that’s different. But here, where you have a party that’s saying, We’re gonna, you know, choose our standard bearer, and we’re gonna follow these general rules of the road, which we are voluntarily deciding, we could have — and we could have voluntarily decided that, Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way. That’s not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also been their right, and it would drag the Court well into party politics, internal party politics to answer those questions."
Yes, it's those pesky 10 year "military operations" that keep sneaking by we're really talking about, though.
Removed troops from Afghanistan (though Trump gets half credit for that one too, it was his timetable and his plan that Biden executed -- poorly -- though that's likely due to soft revolt on the part of the military leaders)

Surviving four years without starting a new boots on ground war (also Trump gets credit for that)

Calling out china on its bs (also Trump gets credit for that)

In practical terms the big differentiating factor between Biden and Trump terms is that trump is soft-pro-putin and Biden is anti-putin. And trump freed some black prisoners who probably shouldn't be in jail anymore

Moving forward, Biden is likely to be pro-taiwan and trump has been making anti-taiwan rhetoric
Also to add, PIS was mired in the passports for sale scandal, which was a significant reason for them losing the election. People didn't vote against anti-immigration and far-right behavior, they voted against PIS hypocrisy.
There was also the comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform bill that Trump tanked because it would make other people look good.

I really don't wanna be nitpicky, but what do you mean by 'no real understanding of the text'?

How do you benchmark something or someone understanding text?

I'm asking because the magic of LLM is the meta level which basically creates a mathematical representation of meaning and most of the time, when i write with an LLM, it feels very understanding to me.

Missing details is shitty and annoying but i have talked to humans and plenty of them do the same thing but actually worse.
I find this to be one of the most troubling comments in the thread.

If it's true, then we genuinely have destroyed most societal incentive structure that makes being governed worthwhile.

This is just a trust issue, which applies to pretty much any task where there is delegation.

If you ask an intern to summarize some text, you trust them to do a half decent job. You're not going to re-read the original text. The hiring process is meant to filter out bad interns.

Part of the problem IMO might be that OP is relying on OAI and Google's systems to dump data from websites and pdfs into the context and hoping it's correct and formatted properly. It probably is, but the odd random skips could also be explained by copy paste fails. Would be a better comparison if it was just provided in plain text.

It's also all long context models getting pages of data, which even for these flagship ones is certainly just RoPE or similar which is a cheap hack but isn't super accurate [0]. 4o is best and still showing haystack benchmark accuracies below 80% and Gemini is just completely blind. That certainly needs fixing up to 100% before we can say for sure that nothing will ever get skipped.

I can only speak about my personal experience.

When I was in college I read through Haskell Programming From First Principles. My prior programming experience (of probably ~10ish years, as a hobbyist) was mostly C++, Java and PHP.

I found it grueling. I really was just not used to reading definitions like

newtype State s a = State { runState :: s -> (a, s) }
instance Monad (State s) where
return x = State $ \s -> (x,s)
(State h) >>= f = State $ \s -> let (a, newState) = h s
(State g) = f a
in g newState

Nowadays, such a definition (and its practical applications) seems very trivial, but at the time I remember it felt like learning a new type of math, or a new language. Most of my time reading that book was spent struggling to figure out how the types fit together and why they were useful and/or necessary to be structured the way they were.

This wasn't the book's fault - I actually think the book does go to great lengths to try to guide the reader gradually toward understanding. My brain just wasn't ready for it. It took a long time of playing around with Haskell, as well as playing around with other languages (and seeing things like async-await and thinking to myself "hey! that's a monad!") before these things became second nature. I think it just goes to the concept of "osmosis" in psychology - sometimes you subconsciously absorb information over time before it starts to make sense.

Dunno if this comment constitutes "advice" per se, lol. Just offering you something to relate to, I guess.
Yes. Not all discrimination is the same.

Being ugly is a disqualifying trait for getting a job as a supermodel.

Being unfit is a disqualifying trait for being an Olympic athlete.

Being unable to stay awake and say coherent sentences is a disqualifying trait for being the president of the most powerful nation on earth.

Being black or latino is a disqualifying trait for playing a Roman emperor in a movie — which is why Netlix will surely try, because they’re unable to comprehend what the problem even is, and why their “equality” is groan-inducing.

They hadn't told the people running his Twitter account yet?

There was already an incident [1] where his press secretary tweeted about running for president on her own account, so she or her people are presumably in charge of it.

The fixed schedule is the case for most EU countries, in Belgium every 4 year we go out and vote.

The only possible way to vote earlier is when a government falls and they write out new elections but that is extremely rare.
I had a similar experience with ChatGPT and larger documents. Even basic RAG tasks don't work well (RAG = Retrieval-augmented generation). The most basic Langchain RAG examples performs much better. The usual approach is to split up the document into pages and then smaller text fragments (a few hundred characters). Only those smaller fragments are then processed by the LLM.

In this case I would take a similar approach, split the document into multiple smaller (and overlapping) fragments, let a LLM summarize each one of those into key findings, and in a next step merge those key findings to a summary.

I have not a lot experience though, if this would provide better results.

"When Biden stumbles over words, we question his state of mind; when Trump acts like a deranged street preacher, it’s … well, Tuesday. If Biden had suggested setting up migrants in a fight club,[1] he’d be out of the race already; Trump does it, and the country (as well as many in the media) shrugs. "

* Tom Nichols, https://archive.ph/XcMbP / https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2024/07/the-...

> “Did anyone ever hear of Dana White?” Trump asked during his speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference in Washington. “… I said, ‘Dana, I have an idea. Why don’t you set up a migrant league of fighters and have your regular league of fighters, and then you have the champion of your league — these are the greatest fighters in the world — fight the champion of the migrants.’ I think the migrant guy might win; that’s how tough they are. He didn’t like that idea too much.”

And it's not like Trump is that much younger than Biden.

To be honest, the UK elections might be parliamentary, but they have a very Presidential character to them, just as is the case in India and Canada. People still vote for the PM face. This time, they didn't want to vote in Rishi. Put Boris Johnson on the ticket, and I'm certain the results would have been extremely different.

Pure SLAs matter less than the negligence: this showed critical lack of testing, following robust engineering practices for progressive deployments or fail safe design, etc. If a bank loses $1M they don’t get to argue that they shouldn’t compensate clients because they processed 99.9999% of their transactions correctly.
There were just 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan before they pulled out, and below 10,000 for years before that. There are more U.S. troops in countries like Germany, Italy, or Spain.

In the end it was a very small commitment for the US, with huge gains not just for Afghan people but also for the US.

To me, what getty is doing is actual theft. How do you “accidentally” issue copyright claims using images you don’t own? How did getty start claiming this image as their own?

In contrast, training an AI model you download a piece of info once and then don’t resell that (exact) piece of info. Nobody is claiming they own the image when they don’t.

The IRA has nothing to do with Joe Biden. It passed because Joe Manchin decided at the last minute that he hated what China is doing with trying to monopolize stuff like solar panels and batteries.

There's a reason people jokingly refer to him as President Manchin.

Sometimes maps are the territory, especially when the territory that is being mapped is itself a map. An accurate map of a map can be a copy of the map that it maps. The human brain's concept of reality is not reality, it's a map of reality. A function trained to predict human outputs can itself contain a map which is arbitrarily similar to the map that a human carries in their own head.

(Finite complexity is rigorously definable, it's just that the definition is domain-specific).

Biden apparently had a speech impediment (basically stutter), for much of his early life, and had to train extremely hard to overcome it. So in general I've always brushed aside criticism of his speaking as it's evident to me that he's generally very articulate and well spoken if you overlook the occassional word salad.

Over the last few months I've generally defending his gaffs to friends even though I don't like Biden as a politician, because I think that kind of discourse is counterproductive politically and stigmatising socially, which I still feel.

However, I have to say, the recent downward spike in his ability to string a sentence together becomes concerning to me, not so much because I think it primary reflects any cognitive decline per se, but it seems to me like a sign that the pressure of the presidency and the campaign are affecting him in _some_ way that is causing his speech impediment to surface at its worst and most frequent yet. So I would still push back on a lot of what you are saying, but yes, at this point, something is clearly off there to a concerning degree.
The Biden/Harris campaign can not donate their donations?
I'm also not a hardware person, but I think there is an easier/hackier variant of your approach, that should be relatively simple in an in-order design, but probably harder to do in an ooo design, because either need to variably add or remove uops based on the input.

Maybe this is what you had in mind, but I must admit that I didn't fully understand how you described the implementation:

For LMUL>1 vrgather:

Create one uop for every LMUL=1 register:

* Look at first index (n=idx[0]/(VLEN/SEW)), to select vector register to read from

* do the LMUL=1 vrgather from that register, and check if all are in range

* if they weren't, emit LMUL=1 vrgather uops corresponding to the other LMUL=1 register sources

This would give you LMUL cycles for all permutations that read all values for a LMUL=1 register destination from a single LMUL=1 source register, or the proportional equivalent when DLEN<VLEN. So this would cover the LUT/zip/unzip/reverse/broadcast cases.

As I mentioned I don't think this is a good fit for ooo designs, but in-order ones, with larger vector lengths could/should probably implement this.

I've thought about this a lot recently. It would be ideal to reflash the PC embedded in the back of the TV, but failing that, how hard would it be to connect the display to something like a raspberry pi. This prototype seems like the latter, and it definitely has its warts. You really need the display unit to make this functional.

I wonder how hard it is to flash the onboard components. Is there an OpenWRT equivalent for smart TVs?

Am I blind or is there no mention at all of the GPT model he used?

The author states his conclusions but doesn't give the reader the information required to examine the problem.

- Whether the article to be summarized fits into the tested GPT model's context size

- The prompt

- The number of attempts

- He doesn't always state which information in the summary, specifically, is missing or wrong

For example: "I first tried to let ChatGPT one of my key posts (...). ChatGPT made a total mess of it. What it said had little to do with the original post, and where it did, it said the opposite of what the post said." He doesn't say which statements of the original article were reproduced falsely by ChatGPT.

My experience is that ChatGPT 4 is good when summarizing articles, and extremely helpful when I need to shorten my own writing. Recently I had to write a grant application with a strict size limit of 10 pages, and ChatGPT 4 helped me a lot by skillfully condensing my chapters into shorter texts. The model's understanding of the (rather niche) topic was very good. I never fed it more than about two pages of text at once. It also adopted my style of writing to a sufficient degree. A hypothetical human who'd have to help on short notice probably would have needed a whole stressful day to do comparable work.
That's a pretty interesting thought.

I read something a few years ago that said moderates/non-affiliated make up the majority of voters with only a smaller percentage on left and right tied to the parties (somewhere maybe in 15% to 20% range on each side, can't remember exactly).

So it seems like a good mix of moderate could possibly win, especially when the other candidate is so polarizing.

Hello,
Thanks for reminding about this, I will be pushing an update to fix it soon.
Are there any objective benchmarks for rating and comparing the summarization performance of LLMs? I've had mixed results when using the latest versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to summarize texts that I know well (books I have read, papers I wrote, transcripts of online meetings I attended). Often their summaries are as good as or maybe even better than what I could prepare myself, but sometimes they omit key points or entire sections. Other than failures clearly due to context length limitations, it's hard to judge which LLM is a better summarizer overall or whether a new LLM version is better than the previous one.

I use it with Zig. It's pretty handy in conjunction with Zig's allocator because it writes 0xaa bytes upon free and doesn't reuse addresses, so it very likely causes a crash, then you can put a watchpoint on the memory and rewind to the point where it got freed.
