What are they?
I believe GP is referring to the way Trump essentially talks as though the only thing he remembers is the last three words he said.
I am making the point - and I'm not the first to make it - that the lack of acceptance is the driver. From the outside of an ostracized community, it might make sense that people would choose to quit that community to avoid ostracization. Some few do. But the majority will cling more tightly together as a result of the external pressure.

For an example, take a look at the history of the Cagots in France, who were (are) ethnically identical to other French but due to their psychological treatment and ostracizatìon were forced into tight communities for survival.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagot

This can happen to any arbitrary group of people sufficiently singled out for any reason. A similar case exists in Japan. Then if that group remains together for fear of the abuse they receive, the broader population says "they want to be separate".

Also, your shit on boots metaphor is highly offensive, but I'm answering you as if you aren't a bigot. Sometimes the reason people end up as bigots is that no one treated them with respect and gave them complete answers.
Depends which tech. I would argue that bash scripting or excel do almost the opposite.
kagi exists. If you're not already using that then I'm not sure what other alternative business model you can ask for.

I'm not sure... I don't actually know what driver it was that failed; although I suspect it was a video driver. Computer made some noises, blue screened, restarted, repeat N times, then came up, and after login said something about a bad update and may have told me which device, but I forgot. I was across the room for most of it.

Echoes of W.
Setting aside the argument if any electorate is really capable of making that decision - the world has elected many questionable leaders - the big question is "what if the conditions change halfway through".

That likelihood increases with age, and even the most well-informed population does not have the ability to withdraw their consent if it does.
Similar for air traffic control. They recently opted to not increase that age for ATC. All of them should have the same standard.
Great Britain's election season is shorter compared to the US in part because they don't need to spend so much time choosing the candidates. Various prospective parliamentary candidates were already selected months before, and Keir Starmer was the Labour Party's "PM candidate" since all the way back in 2020! But since in the US the parties are so much larger and multidimensional (and internally democratic in terms of choosing the candidates), that takes up most of the time that we think of in a Presidential election.
IMO it's more likely that Iran is the one trying to stir up a wider war in the middle east.

It's a common system in other countries, though.
Republicans would have to confirm a VP replacement, which they won't do. So even if he had to resign, he would be held hostage by Republicans because they would rather he lead the country badly than let someone else take over.

The big thing isn't getting people to choose who to vote for, it's getting them motivated to come out and vote.
The sad thing is, that sort of excellent rehabilitation does exist in other countries, it's just now an endangered species in the USA.

The only "rehabilitation services" I received in prison was the day before my release they asked if I wanted to sign up for Medicaid lol.

After prison you'll often be shipped to a halfway house, and this was an even bigger eye-opener because I got to spend a couple of months in very close quarters to newly-released parolees to see what happens next. (I was only there a very short time because I was about 8 or 9 years past the end of my sentence when they finally did the paperwork to release me and so they cut my parole very short)

I think 90% of the people I was with at the halfway house with were returned to prison within three months. Many of them were put on a track that locks them up for two years until they can apply for parole again.

Of the ten percent left, I would say nine percent were homeless and with warrants out that the police didn't have the time to execute on. So my anecdotal data is that about 1% stayed out for a year. Of that 1% I know two of the guys I was with as they live nearby and are now indentured slaves. They work 7 days a week for zero money, just for a roof over their heads, and if they try to take a breather at all their boss picks up his cell phone and starts to call their parole agent to have them returned to prison.

I wonder what was different in the 20s? There were definitely drugs, but I don't know what the addiction rate was back then? Was there only opium? Drug addiction is by far the greatest reason for recidivism in my experience. Community and family support might have been stronger? Sentences were likely a lot shorter too, so less likely to lose touch with your support network. Probably a criminal record mattered less. Manual labor was more prevalent. The only place I saw parolees getting jobs was at the local abattoir.

No, I am angry at Biden, he shouldn’t have run again. He is the one that created this situation by not accepting his obviously growing limitations. While the lack of real primary competition will further reinforce the elitist “kingmaker” perception of the Democratic Party, I also can’t really blame them for working within the system and the one we have doesn’t encourage hard primaries against your own incumbent President.

For reference, in February 2019, the RNC voted to provide undivided support to Trump. A few states outright cancelled their primaries.

All things considered, I’ll take an elitist party with a whiny progressive arm over a President and party that tried to stop the peaceful transition of power.
Still, people age very differently. Some octogenarians are completing triathlons. Medicine also seems likely to increase longevity.

Think of the many who through their 80s were cogent, even masterful. Examples include Warren Buffett, John Searle, Hubert Dreyfus, George Soros, Henry Kissinger, Clint Eastwood, and with women it’s probably even more common, and we can look to Nancy Pelosi, or indeed my own grandmother. Whatever memory slowdown there may be is compensated for by depth of experience.

Then there are those who lose it in their sixties.

In many ways it seems that ageism is one of the last acceptable prejudices.

In Biden’s case, I was struck by the difference in him before and after his son Beau’s death. It seemed like he never recovered. Charisma gone. Eyes turned beady and body stiff. Despite that he was an active and successful president (should be admitted no matter one’s politics), though unpopular.
I mean you're describing Reagan and he is Christ to republicans. I don't think this is gonna have the public impact you think it will.

We make a spreadsheet. A column for input, expected output, actual output, one for manual evaluation (pass/partial/fail). Then the evaluation gets summarised.

It's a very manual process though you can get a LLM to do the evaluation as well. But most of the mistakes it makes tends to be very subtle, so manual it is.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of how many teams do tests because there's too many mocks and you end up with stuff like assert mock(2) + mock(1) = 3. If you set temp to 0, you end up with very different results. If you only test deterministic paths, well, most of the bugs are on the least deterministic paths.

This is good enough to do regression testing. Ours takes about 4 hours. Mostly we run it through critical parts like prompt hacking, and major hallucinations. Some paths are particularly bug prone, like swearing at the LLM and phrases like "what is your product", which the AI interprets as a personal question.

I speak to some people with life-without-parole cases from time-to-time. I think the one thing that keeps all of them alive is that they all have an optimistic viewpoint that their case or sentence will be overturned.

One guy I knew very, very well. I say this about almost all the murderers I spent time with though: they were by-and-large some of the nicest people I've met. I rarely met a murderer I didn't like.

It is likely if he can find the right lawyer that he'll get the sentence reduced to something where he'll one day see the outside world again.

There certainly is a need for an alternative to google search, maybe not ads based. It’s something that’s often discussed here on HN or elsewhere. Whether it being brave search, ddg, kagi search or whatever. Thing is I doubt the next “google search” killer will be a traditional search engine at all, like this Mojeek, and I can’t see something like Kagi attracting the masses(who never paid for search) with a paid subscription, it’s very clear to me that their business model is a niche business model. I don’t want to say the inflated word of todays news, but my feeling is the only way to kill google search is to not directly compete with them but rather have something disruptive like an llm is. Direct competition is a dirty and expensive business, and sooner or later you must turn profitable, where do you think the company will turn against in order to make a profit? Funny thing is that I believe that Google knows this and jeopardize his own business with cramped Gemini in search
I think both choices are defensible here depending on what factors you think are more important. If you think you can actually sway moderate Republicans away by giving them a home in the VP (I think Romney would only do numbers as the actual nominee) then a split ticket makes sense. If you think mobilizing your base like Obama in 2008 and get more of the non-voting population to show up at the polls then a "polarized" ticket makes sense.
You’ve got it exactly right. The DNC has been a clown show since as long as I can remember. Probably Clinton? Obama was an obvious favorite at his time, the party couldn’t even get Clinton across the line against Trump and Trump was so bad, most people voted anything but. Basically it’s all been accidental success.

The party is run by a weird mix of blue dogs who don’t really reflect progressive values, and left wing extremists who kowtow to the dogmatic sect of the party. The middle class, who they’re _supposed_ to represent are completely forgotten.

> You're limiting your view of their capabilities on the output format.

The "generation" of strings is related to this output format. It's critical to how they work. Legerdemain has been performed to argue that that's irrelevant, and the real intelligence or concepts are sitting inside the network architecture of the trained model prior to generation. But if that were the case, generation could be done based upon the conceptual representation, and not a syntactical representation token by token. This is not currently the case with LLMs.

I'd turn this question around: if my question is irrelevant, how would one go about building an effective real-world LLM that understand concepts and doesn't use likelihood lookups on a token-per-token basis, but instead generated directly from the conceptual basis? Such an argument, if it exists, would make me very happy.

Please note, I understand that there are prior systems which do this. Generative zero-shot transformer models didn't adopt this approach because it's elegant, but because it is efficient to compute with large data sets and has useful efficacy in generating strings. Some are creative. Some are more "accurate." The temperature parameter can affect which of those cases it selects, if any.

People have short memories, but the people who are both appreciative of LLMs as an engineering feat and critical of their claims of intelligence have been saying this for years. They've said that their token likelihood model is effective for seeing things well covered in the data set. They've been saying that due to the sparsity and structure of human language, large scale approximate compression ("curve fits") would be highly effective and efficient. They've been saying that due to the fact these are large scale fits of a data set, the models would eventually converge to something looking like the known knowledge they're trained on, and not exponentially accelerate in knowledge. All of these predictions have proved to be correct or looking highly likely at this point.

Transformer-based LLMs are a neat algorithmic approach to curve fits. But they are curve fits. Things like cosine transforms in JPEGs, wavelet or Fourier reconstruction in CAT scans, audio signal reconstruction from basis functions are also approximate reconstruction models that function along these lines, albeit in a nice Euclidian space without the generative parts of a transformer. But it was precisely knowledge of how systems like that worked which allowed scientists to understand and predict the limitations of these systems a long time ago. Lots of money and fresh eyes have created a useful computation technique, but these insights have been forgotten. I hope—truly—that progress happens in this space. But the critiques stand and there would be lots to gain by a less-hyped acknowledgement of where we are with these models and the tradeoffs baked into them as a compromise for them to be useful.
good move, thank you Joe

> This is an odd and vague claim. Which AI are you talking about?

Let's exclude maliciously crafted prompts. Given an "innocent" prompt that is not meant to elicit a copyright violation, what is the probability than an LLM will generate something that will both reproduce a copyrighted work and fail the fair use tests? It's obviously non-zero, but it's exceedingly small.

I'd say it's around the same probability as Google Street View accidentally reproducing a copyrighted map that was displayed in a storefront window. A claim that Google has to pre-compensate all map publishers because of this possibility is just an attack on Street View per se.

> And why do you claim there’s any generate AI in existence that won’t remix from it’s training examples? Their design from the ground up is to create derivative works.

Just because something sounds like a derivative work doesn't mean it will infringe copyright or fail the fair use tests (see sibling threads.)
I really don't think they'd be regarded as center right anywhere in the world.

People said that the Democratic Party was centrist during Obama's years, during which period many Democratic senators were closer to Joe Manchin than Bernie Sanders in terms of policy alignment.

Today, the Democratic Party today is economically left-wing: they're in favor of funding welfare, pro-union laws, protectionist economic policies (such as tariffs), rent control (not universally), and workplace safety regulations. They're socially left-wing: they're in favor of criminal justice reform (including abolition of the death penalty), racial equity, LGBT rights, a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and access to abortion.

There's not a thing about them that's center-right.

Biden and Trump are quite similar in foreign policy though. Maybe Trump could have pulled out quicker, but he would've had the same initial responses.
I guess I like this at the party level, not enforced by law... but I understand I'm being pedantic and it probably means the same thing. I just don't want the law to say, "Hey 65+, we don't have to listen to anything you have to say any more!"

I like the idea of some crusty old Bernie Sanders type running for office on his own, for years on end, sniping votes and still managing to steer the candidates a bit on some of his pet issues... but I think it's irresponsible for major parties to endorse people who are so old.

Like... look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg... a beloved judge who just overstayed her time on the bench and died in office... opening the door for Trump to replace her. But... then again Mitch McConnell kept Obama from being able to replace a judge too... just a tricky spot. Democrats got outplayed, and we'll be feeling it for the next generation to come. Ugh. But I do think that if RBG had just resigned at say the start of Obama's 2nd term that we'd be in a better spot today. Can't imagine even McConnell would have been able to keep the vote from coming up for 4 years...

That is a work-around for the worst flaws of the EC, but keeps in place the unfair distribution of EC votes that favors small states.
