Yes, we shouldn’t confuse verbal fluency with intelligence, or the lack of one with the lack of the other. Perhaps you should go back in time to 2000 and step up to defend George W. Bush.

However, when someone was previously verbally fluent and then the whole world can see that that person’s fluency has deteriorated, it’s completely reasonable to believe that deterioration of other mental functions is happening as well, as seems to be the case with Biden.
You can still campaign during a groundbreaking.

The issue was Biden was over-managed because of his reputation of "Bidenisms" for which he has been mocked about for decades [0][1]

This meant he kept campaigning to a minimum and was extremely managed.

It kept gaffes to a minimum but also severely decreased his media time.

Nerfs aren't really ML at all. The algorithm was discovered with ML, but it works just fine without any ML.
Interesting. I read through the ChatGPT summary first, it seemed very plausible, then I read the original and I kinda see the author's point. The ChatGPT summary basically did gloss over every important detail in the original - but then, the details weren't important for generating a summary.

I think that one of the author's key premises is false:

> To summarise, you need to understand what the paper is saying.

A summary is not about the author or about the summarizer, it's about the reader. It's about picking up on the portions of the original work that will matter to the reader's estimation of whether it's important to read the full work. And that actually depends much more on context and how the work relates to other works than it does about the specific details contained in the work. For example, Betteridge's Law of Headlines [1] basically provides a summary of any article whose title ends in a question, that summary is just "No", and it does so by making an observation about the authors rather than the content of the articles (about which it's completely agnostic).

It reminds me of the problems that plague AI sentiment analysis. Machine learning is actually very good at that task, but you top out at about 70% precision because humans top out at 70% precision on sentiment analysis. At best, people only agree with each other ~70% of the time when judging the sentiment of a piece.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...
The solution is to feed both the text and the summary back to ChatGPT and ask it to identify any inconsistencies.

If you repeat these steps over and over for enough iterations eventually you will run out of money and the problem will be moot anyway
I dunno about you guys, but about a decade ago, I just stopped having to _absolutely know_ the truth value of statements, webpages, satire, ignorance , conspiracy the, and other aberrations that appear on the internet.

This is one of those times.
It was a massive climate change investment.

Two points that people are making that I feel necessary to refute because they come across as being offered from a place of bad faith or ignorance:

1) the suggestion that Biden should resign from the presidency because he is standing down from running. Biden is not saying that he is incapable of running. He and his team just understand how to read polls and don't want their party to lose the election which seemed almost certain with him at the top of the ticket.

2) the suggestion that Biden stepping down is subverting the will of the primary voters. There was no real 2024 democratic primary just like there was no republican primary in 2020. There were no serious candidates and no debates. I am sure there are Biden supporters who are disappointed and angry that he has dropped out but it was his choice to make. If he had stayed in the race, I am sure he would have secured the nomination. This wasn't taken away from him. He voluntarily stood down. A candidate should not be obliged to remain in a race just because they won a primary.
In parliamentary republics, the President is the powerless head of state, and the Prime Minister is head of government. There are lots of terms for head of government like Chancellor, Chief Executive, and First Minister. "King" has too much baggage of being inherited.

Most limited Presidents have fixed terms, but I don't think there needs to be term limits for the figurehead. I was thinking that the head of state would attract those who want the spotlight.
In Cuba, the only wealthy people are government bureaucrats. As always, communism becomes dictatorship and the people suffer most. Top down control of economy doesn't work. I went to numerous tobacco plantations in Cuba and they told me the government takes 90% of their harvest and they're allowed to keep and sell 10%. I stayed with an OBGyn who gets paid $80 USD/month. He built his house out of cinderblocks. That's how you get rewarded for your 'free' education. Anyone glorifying communism is a fucking idiot with no life experience.
At what expense did the Soviet Union do that? Millions imprisoned and killed by starvation and forced labor.

Commandeering an empire's wealth into militarization and the space program sure made for great pageantry just like North Korean nukes and cyberweapons, but it doesn't mean anything like a holistic measure of well being was achieved.
The point is not that Biden has been through an extraordinarily stressful experience at one point in his life but that Biden has been going through an extraordinarily stressful experience for the past four years while already being very old. With the greatest respect to your grandfather, I think it would take a similar toll on him.

"On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine"

Can't be thermal, I checked.
This is how it works everywhere. Do you go to your boss and say "well, I'm thinking of quitting and taking a different job, but I'm not sure yet and I'm still deciding. I'll let you know when I've decided!"
I wonder about if we could have moved forward as society a touch faster if Unix wasn't "all byte streams", and had a touch of metadata

We would've "moved forward" faster into authoritarian proprietary walled-garden dystopia, yes.
From the Mailpit README:

> Mailpit was originally inspired by MailHog which is no longer maintained and hasn't seen active development or security updates for a few years now.
> the "move fast and break things" mentality is what's causing problems.

I want to add nuance. I don't think it is the "move fast and break things" mentality that creates all the shit, but that that there is no "time to clean up, everybody do your share" mentality to complement it. Doing things often creates a mess, and doing hard things often creates a bigger mess. You can't make a fancy meal without dirtying a bunch of dishes. But are we seriously not hiring "dishwashers"? Creating a mess is unavoidable, and certainly it shouldn't be too large of a mess, but the dishes are piling up and we can't hide it anymore. It isn't a linear problem because the mess compounds and the mess itself generates more mess. We won't refactor. We won't rewrite. So we just have patchwork on top of patchwork. That's enshitification.

We also have a status quo that we sprint into a sprint and try to move as fast as we can but only measure how fast we're going by looking at how far we moved in a quarter. There's no long term measurement because "that's too hard." But this is like trying to circumnavigate the world and choosing to walk. You'll make progress every day and more importantly, __measurable__ (and easily measurable) progress. But you could spend 11 months building a fucking Cesna and still beat the person that could walk on water. You need to move fast (like the Cesna), but to move fast requires also slowing down. Who is willing to slow down?

I think most people don't have a problem with people using public data to do research or similar activities. That people wouldn't be up in arms if OpenAI scraped all of YouTube, trained on it, proved internally that they could do cool stuff with it, AND THEN either started to generate their own data for training or started to purchase data. Even though this would still be costly to YouTube and be a weird ethical ground (like getting a "free trial" (or theft) of the data and pay only if it works).

As someone with anxiety, I can assure you, it is not a good idea to constantly be rushing around chasing everything that needs to be solved. You just make more messes because you sloppily "fix" the issues, trying to move onto the next. The trick is to fight your own mind, slow down, triage, and solve anything that isn't a literal fucking fire with calm and care, no matter how much your own mind wants to convince you it is an emergency. But when everything is an emergency, nothing is. And that's the problem. We created an economy based on a business strategy that is functionally equivalent to an untreated and severe anxiety disorder.
His recent debate performance was poor. But he's had trouble speaking for a long time. Go back and watch older debates or speeches and see. It's all classic speech impedement stuff; he's clearly had lots of training and experience, but sometimes he can't use the words he wants and switches to different words.

I'm honestly not sure what we're looking for in a debate, but most presidential debates since I've been a voter are contests to see who can look like they're listening the best while getting back to a rehearsed talking point the fastest. [1] When you combine that with trouble with words, and maybe some over training, it doesn't look good.

Does it mean he has trouble carrying on a conversation in a real setting? I don't know, it's a totally different setting with different expectations. We don't really get a window into that.

[1] Well except that MTV town hall. Pretty sure Bill had no talking points appropriate there.
> many of the bills are just spending money

And continuing the trade war. Then people act surprised when inflation is high. Recently, I think Jay Powell has even called out congress and the president for continuing to spend.
> Radicalism is often the embrace of nuance that other people deny exists.

That's a nice ideological soundbite that is wishful thinking. When observed in practice, both opposite ends of radicalism are most prone to discussing none of the nuance. Just think of the radical ends of this issue...

GPUs have the most complex drivers in the whole system, we're talking tens of millions LOCs, so it is absolutely not surprising that you're having issues like that given how recent AMD's investment into APUs is. I wouldn't use them for a few more years; get a cheap discrete GPU from nvidia or maybe even from Intel.
I'm pretty sure you can find GLSL shader + webgl playground and modify it to make bit different one in like 15 minutes.
I have actually made (what I think to be) a working summarizer at $dayjob and it took a lot more hand-holding to get results than I initially expected. A straight summary wasn't very good, the "summary of summaries" approach as implemented by LangChain was garbage and didn't produce a summary at all, even a wrong one. The algorithm that actually worked:

1. Take the documents, chunk them up on paragraph then sentence then word boundaries using spaCy.

2. Generate embeddings for each chunk and cluster them using the silhouette score to estimate the number of clusters.

3. Take the top 3 documents closest to the centroid of each cluster, expand the context before and after so it's 9 chunks in 3 groups.

4. For each cluster ask the LLM to extract the key points as direct quotes from the document.

5. Take those quotes and match them up to the real document to make sure it didn't just make stuff up.

6. Then put all the quotes together and ask the LLM not to summarize, but to write the information presented in paragraph form.

7. Then because LLMs just can't seem to shut up about their answer make them return JSON {"summary": "", "commentary": ""} and discard the commentary.

The LLM performs much better (to human reviewers) at keyphrase extraction than TextRank so I think there's genuinely some value there and obviously nothing else can really compose english like these models but I think we perhaps expect too much out of the "raw" model.
Primary elections are private matters, “nominee of the Democratic Party” is not a political office.
> But actually there's nothing different about Telsa vs the other car manufacturers.

Elon Musk has been pumping Tesla with never ending promises of full self driving cars arriving just next year but which never arrive.

Elon Musk has been pumping Tesla with unbelievable promises of building AI, robots, etc, and has been demanding a 40B payday to keep those projects in Tesla.

Elon Musk has been manipulating Tesla as a peon of his own personal ideological whims and political battles, going as far as using non-business assertions to drive his strategic business decision such as moving the company across states.

Elon Musk has been a vocal supporter of far-right and fascist ideals, something that no other CEO is so moron to the point of ever doing the same, when Tesla's primary market is the middle/upper middle class which leans primarily into the liberal/social democrat political spectrum and who are the primary victims and target of said fascist movement.

There are many, many differences between Tesla and all other auto makers, and these differences are all self-inflicted foot-in-mouth mistakes made by Elon Musk.
I am not sure how it's an investment. The analogy or metaphor fails in this case.
They could save even more time by neither reading the summary nor the original.

Plenty of people understand that LLM is not AI.

Nonethless, try looking more left and right. There are really good opensource solutions which can surfe the web for you like stormai, Or you can use anythingllm and give it all your local files.

You can write your tips and tricks, start commands, upgrade procedures etc. in Markdown and reference it through your local LLM.

I like it for coding specifically for languages or things i write seldomly (i'm not coding every day but did for 15 years).

Nonetheless, googles internal code review tool is already suggesting things which are getting accepted by more than 50%. Thats a lot and will only get better. GitHub with Copilot will also just get better every day too. They probably struggled (as the whole industry) with actually getting used to having ML stuff in our ecosystem. Its still relativly new.
But isn’t this all a people problem? The incompetent manager, the overly strict rules implemented by IT, the BS metrics by the manager.

If me, you and an academic/finance guy/content creator/etc wanted to start working on a project tomorrow, would it matter that much to you if we used jira or a google sheet to communicate the scope and current status of the project?

Edit, addendum, I’ve been thinking about the larger picture, the personal and organizational issues in software, for some time now. I’ve come to realize that a serious lack of talent, interest or enthusiasm really gets in the way of enterprise software.

I have started to think the solution is to focus on tradecraft; most organizations lack the ability to create decent software for a reasonable cost much in the same way that every company hires outside developers and tradesmen to build a new factory or building.
Tbh, I never understood why "support from the party" plays into it at all. If we truly want separation of powers shouldn't we encourage the leader of the executive to have no ties to any of the factions of the legislative. Instead it seems to be the opposite

Is this "Latin machismo"? Look at the cyclists on the streets, I don't know where you live but everywhere I've been in the US at least half of them are without a helmet. It just appears that most people don't believe that things that have not happened to them are real. They don't grab a hot skillet only because they have done that and found that it's quite painful. They don't wear a helmet or any PPE because they have not experienced the things it's supposed to protect them from.
President Kamala Harris has a great ring. Will be great to have someone that isn’t old, a sex offender, or a felon (or all three).
It’s completely possible that he’s fit for office now but realizing that he won’t be able to convince voters that he will remain fit for the next 4 years.
Spending money is a key "lever" in legislative action. You can't legislate something without allocating money for its implementation and enforcement.

In terms of core policy reform beneath all of the money spending: the current administration seems to place much greater emphasis on capital projects (repairing and building new infrastructure, including energy infrastructure) than the previous one did.
The link you provided for Wikipedia, even that says SOC means System and Organization, and also in brackets it is also known as Service Organization.

Regarding the rest of your comment:

- SOC2 Report: While it is true that SOC2 audits result in a report, it's important to clarify that the SOC2 framework was indeed developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and is primarily focused on the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a service organization’s systems. This makes it highly relevant to the security industry, even if it has roots in the financial industry.

- Audit vs. Report: The SOC2 process involves an audit where an external auditor assesses the controls in place. The outcome of this audit is a detailed report that evaluates how well an organization meets the trust service criteria. So, saying "SOC2 is an audit and not a report" is somewhat misleading, as the audit process culminates in the generation of the SOC2 report.

I hope this clarifies any confusion.

The author could have gotten their point across better if they said that LLMs aren't good at focusing on the things they deem important. LLMs absolutely understand things. Otherwise it'd be impossible to work at all. But like people they try to make a summary fit into its preconceived biases (e.g. regulation good). You know how when you try to talk to someone about a subject they're unfamiliar with, and it goes from one ear out the other? That's how LLMs are when they ask them to pick out the divergent ideas from documents.

Products like ChatGPT are rewarded in their fine tuning for doing happy sounding cheerleading of whatever bland unsophisticated corpo docs you throw at it. Consumer products like this simply aren't designed for novelty, although there's plenty of AIs that are. For example, AlphaFold is something that's designed to search through an information space and discover novel stuff that's good.

ChatGPT is something that's designed to ingratiate itself with emotional individuals using a flawed language that precludes rational thinking. That's the problem with the English language. It's the lowest common demonstrator. Any specialized field like programming, the natural sciences, etc. that wants to make genuine progress, has always done so historically by inventing a new language, e.g. jargon, programming languages.

The only time normal language is able to communicate divergent ideas is when the speaker has high social status. When someone who doesn't have high social status communicates something novel, we call it crazy. LLMs, being robots, have very low social status. That's why they're trained to act the way they do.

I put some of the blame on Biden because the botched Afghanistan withdrawal sent the message that the US doesn't want to get involved with regional conflicts, emboldening Russia, Hamas, and Iran.
It helps me to code (or helped me with mathematical concepts that I find difficult to implement or would take me a lot of time) but then again I use it for generating mainly graphics related code in Blender or as part of a grasshopper script so the code doesn't that much as the correct output.

That being said, I often come in a situation that its not the code that is bad but the solution. Where I need to tell the LLM that it's not logical to do it in a certain way leveraging on my own knowledge.

The reality is that the campaign donations accumulated by the Biden/Harris ticket are only available to Harris. Anybody else is funding-challenged even more than Harris at this point. From the standpoint of campaign finance laws and the practical realities of fund-raising, it was Harris all along.

Aye, fair enough. Assuming summarization/shortening or whatever people call this stays the same level of quality, is there an expectation of more interdisciplinary research? I'm unsure about that.

My personal opinion as a non-European who has voted in the UK elections as a Commonwealth citizen: the far-right tends to win broad support in European Parliament elections mostly as a reactionary bulwark against the EU's Open Borders policy (and rightly so). People tend to vote somewhat rationally for national elections.

Honestly, from my perspective, the rise of rampant immigration (and that too contributed by people of my community) is going to damage the entirety of Europe in the long run. Already I've seen firsthand the skewing of the demographic pyramid in the younger generation (0-18 yrs), a lack of worthwhile job prospects for second generation immigrants, and the rising tide of anti-national behaviors from members of migrant communities. As Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed rightly said, the next generation of terrorists will not come from Saudi Arabia or the Middle East, but from Europe. The kind of venom that mosques here in Europe spew is much worse than the extremely highly-monitored mosque sermons in the Middle East, from Egypt to Oman.

From my Muslim perspective, Europe will be a lost cause in a single generation, unless there is a MASSIVE cultural upheaval that stomps and quashes the current migratory trend. Austerity and inequality are just the sparks, but the bigger powder keg is the growing base of increasingly alienated migrants who have to face the austerity and inequality (see Leeds riots very recently). European society was never structured to take in so many incompatible migrants like American society is.
