No, it really isn’t. Anyone who uses that word that way is just factually incorrect, and probably pretty irresponsible depending on the context. Software should not tell lies.

I had a very similar experience with eosenophilic esophogitis (EoE). It's an allergic reaction that causes your esophagus to constrict resulting in acute dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). It can get extremely unpleasant for me as well as anyone around me when an attack happens. The problem is that the latency between eating the food that triggers it and actual symptoms is many many hours, and the symptoms only appear if you happen to swallow something that's just a little too big, and by then it's too late. It was only by sheer luck that I managed to figure out what my trigger is (scallops). In order to be diagnosed you have to get an endoscopy, which is also the only indicated treatment (other than avoiding the trigger food if you can figure out what it is).

I had this idea of using gel caps to get a better read on my internal state because you can feel them going down but they don't actually get stuck (and even if they do they dissolve pretty quickly and don't cause too much discomfort). The idea is to have them in a variety of sizes, and to start with small ones and get bigger until you can feel one. That gives you much more fine-grained data which you can then correlate with what you've eaten the day before. Trick is, I can't find a source of placebo gel caps in assorted sizes anywhere. I can't even find a manufacturer to make them for me. Every manufacturer I've approach about this insists on having some active ingredient, and they also want minimum orders in the thousands of units.

The irony is that I would have no problem getting these on the market as homeopathic remedies of some sort.
Claude 3.5 is a trusted developer partner that will work with you and outline what it’s thinking. It’s not always right but because it outlines its reasoning you too can reason about the problem and catch it.

ChatGPT, for me, was a stack overflow solution dump. It gives me an answer that probably could work but it’s difficult for me to reason about why I want to do it that way.

Truthfully this probably boils down to prompting but Claude’s out of the box experience is fantastic for development. Ultimately I just want to code, not be a prompt wizard.
You can change the tokenizer and build another model, if you can come up with your own version of the rest of the source (e.g., the training set, RLHF, etc.). You can’t change the tokenizer for this model, because you don’t have all of its source.
Their support is so good. I’ve only called them a couple times, but each time it was like: “ring ring Hello Mr. Strauser, this is Joe at American Express, how may I help you?”

The time from hitting the call button to talking to a human with my account information in front of them sets the standard.
I don't think claiming that pure scaling of LLMs isn't going to lead to AGI is a particularly hot take. Or that current LLMs don't provide a whole lot of economic value. Obviously, if you were running a research lab you'd be trying a bunch of different things, including pure scaling. It would be weird not to. I don't know if we're going to hit actual AGI in the next decade, but given the progress of the last less-than-decade I don't see why anyone would rule it out. That in itself seems pretty remarkable, and it's not hard to see where the hype is coming from.
I personally think it's not going to be incredibly difficult. Obviously, the way it was done with QuietSTaR is somewhat expensive, but I see many reasonable approaches here that could be considered.

High temperature will obviously lead to randomness, that's what it, evening out the probabilities of the possibilities for the next token. So obviously a high temperature will make them 'crazy' and low temperature will lead to deterministic output. People have come up with lots of ideas about sampling, but this isn't really an instability of transformer models.

It's a problem with any model outputing probabilities for different alternative tokens.
I find communities that constantly add gratuitous "YMMV may vary - everyone's body is different and no one really knows anything" tend to have less groupthink and are generally more adaptable both to new research and old research. The "YMMV" should be obvious in any discussion about individual humans, but when communities don't emphasize it constantly, people start thinking that "90% of patients benefit from $INTERVENTION" somehow means that they should just shut down discussion around the other 10%.

If it's true that Apple isn't going to pay OpenAI a dime for the Siri queries they hand off to ChatGPT then things are surely only going to get worse in the short term. That's potentially a huge strain on their systems which they will have to subsidise out of pocket.

> With much software moving to the cloud and browser it's natural C++ usage will decline.

This is not a very clear corollary. C++ was never browser-native, but even still you can use it to write WASM webapps. Cloud software has been written in C++ since forever ago and there's little reason to expect it will stop.
Their official reason (for banning RCV) is that it is too confusing for voters.

Such regulations make products more expensive.

I'm constantly offered warranties when I buy online. I don't want to be forced to buy them, as I don't need them.
They can't directly train on chat transcripts, because they contain private information and other things you don't want appearing in answers. I doubt they even look at them unless you press the thumbs down, in which case they probably use it in some indirect way.

They might try to look for trends or what questions are popular of course.
Python is not context free
But apple has like 5% market share. 8gb with windows is really rough. There are people who don't care or can't afford performance.
There is of course substantial variability in individual patient response to treatments. But a high-carb diet is unlikely to work out well for someone who is already insulin resistant. If that's the only diet that they can live with then their life is likely to be drastically shortened.

As for plant based versus animal based diets, we don't have any high quality RCTs to indicate that one or the other has a different impact on insulin resistance (assuming the same macros). So that's unlikely to be directly relevant for most patients, except to the extent that it impacts ease of living permanently maintaining carb restriction.
That's not capitalism, that's culture. In the USA, it's very common to return products because of a change of mind and/or complain. That isn't universal.
protons can generate neutrons and neutrons can generate protons . why are there no nuclea with only neutrons ? — these could be as big as you want because there is no electric repulsion . the answer is that only neutron nucleus would have — by pauli exclusion principle — very large kinetic energy . so nucleus turns couple of its neutrons into protons to lower the kinetic energy of neutrons . same reason for small fraction of protons in neutron stars

Works for me with Claude 3.5:

Me: How many Rs are in the word strawberry? Think step by step

Claude: Let's approach this step-by-step:

1. First, let's write out the word: strawberry

2. Now, let's go through each letter one by one:
s - not an R
t - not an R
r - this is an R (count: 1)
a - not an R
w - not an R
b - not an R
e - not an R
r - this is another R (count: 2)
r - this is a third R (count: 3)
y - not an R

3. After going through all the letters, we've counted 3 Rs.

Therefore, there are 3 Rs in the word "strawberry".
I do stuff that uses all my RAM. New workstation has 192GB already had builds that pushed it to 180gb used. I am not alone.

I am not saying everyone needs that much, just that the bar for what warrants a dedicated server rack keeps going up and 128gb in a thick laptop seems practical.
If tail events aren't produced by these models, no amount of human filtering will get them back. People would not just need to filter or adjust AI generated content, but create novel content of their own.

Yea you can get prenuvo or a psa test by paying out of pocket. No one is holding anything back from anyone. I got a PSA test out of pocket for $60 at quest ( family history of PC) .
I get empty gelcaps from amazon and local nutrition food stores. They cost like $5 for between 100-1000. You can get them in a wide variety of sizes, though you might have trouble if you're looking for something larger than size "000" (1cm diameter, 2.6cm length). Here is a size chart[0] (but there are cheaper sources for the gelcaps).

Ahh you are right, I had the situation reversed in my head. It would be the false high reading that would be the issue.

That is good to know there are some safeguards in place to prevent an over-correction.

And I agree about the constant wake-ups. The Dexcom system will sometimes not stop alerting when it detects a low, even if she has taken glucose tabs and knows it will be taken care of. If she doesnt interact with the notification it continues to alarm every 15 minutes or so. There is a recompiled APK for the dexcom apps that changes some of the notification behaviors but she hasnt needed to use that recently.
I don't get why they'd do it. What's the advantage to OpenAI of giving away their core product for free?

On their own app and website they can upsell you the Pro version. But integrating with Siri for free kind of sounds like paying an artist in 'exposure'. That's their core work, why give it for free?
I read an entire book on applications of space filling curves, and none of the applications seemed to actually work as advertised (though perhaps they did at the time the book was written, I am skeptical).

All the stuff about database indexing and cache locality seems to have become obsolete with improvements in compilers; the overhead of computing the Hilbert curve indices is just too high. The indexing method that people seem to actually use is the Z-order/Morton order, which just interleaves bits and is mathematically less interesting [1].

> Using Shell, Make or CMake to build a C program is only acceptable because is has always been so.

Nah, using shell, make or cmake is acceptable because C is obviously a terrible language for doing things. (Those languages are also all terrible, but not quite as terrible as C).

> There is no good reason, however, CMake isn't a C library.

Isn't it the other way round? There's no good reason people write programs in C rather than CMake.

> With build system being a library, we could write, read, and, most importantly, debug build scripts just like any other part of the buildable.

Which is to say, with extreme difficulty?

Like, I agree with where you're coming from, it is absolutely a damning indictment of C that people don't want to express their builds in it. But writing in a build in C really would be terrible.
PCI DSS v4.0 Requirements 5 and 6 speaks very broadly for anti-malware controls, which Crowdstrike provides as EDR, and cybersecurity (liability, ransomware, etc) insurance absolutely requires it from the questionnaires I’ve completed and am required to attest to.

> In its first version, PCI DSS included controls for detecting, removing, blocking, and containing malicious code (malware). Until version 3.2.1, these controls were generically referred to as "anti-virus software", which was incorrect technically because they protect not just against viruses, but also against other known malware variants (worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware, rootkits, adware, backdoors, etc.). As a result, the term "antimalware" is now used not only to refer to viruses, but also to all other types of malicious code, more in line with the requirement's objectives.

> To avoid the ambiguities seen in previous versions of the standard about which operating systems should have an anti-malware solution installed and which should not, a more operational approach has been chosen: the entity should perform a periodic assessment to determine which system components should require an anti-malware solution. All other assets that are determined not to be affected by malware should be included in a list (req. 5.2.3).

> Updates of the anti-malware solution must be performed automatically (req. 5.3.1).

> Finally, the term "real-time scanning" is explicitly included for the anti-malware solution (this is a type of persistent, continuous scanning where a scan for security risks is performed every time a file is received, opened, downloaded, copied or modified). Previously, there was a reference to the fact that anti-malware mechanisms should be actively running, which gave rise to different interpretations.

> Continuous behavioral analysis of systems or processes is incorporated as an accepted anti-malware solution scanning method, as an alternative to traditional periodic (scheduled and on-demand) and real-time (on-access) scans (req. 5.3.2).

Because a lot of these d&d alternatives are fairly cheap I think it's worth your time just to buy a few here and there and give them a read (dungeon world, index card rpg, blades in the dark, vaesen, torchbearer, forbidden lands, not d&d adjacent but I'll just also mention mothership, I'm not going to really mention pathfinder here because it's very much still a fork of d&d though their action system I think beats the 5e action system).

It kinda opens your mind to what is great about d&d (for me their well defined settings and a lot of expansiveness of their class subclass system.. that and a ton of nostalgia, I played my first game of redbox in the 80s) and where it lacks. It's kind of the middle of the road game, it does a lot of stuff reasonably well but some of these other games specialize the gameplay in some very interesting ways.

Often as a group you probably aren't going to change systems but, and especially if you are your groups gamemaster, a lot of these little rpgs probably have very poachable rules or systems that could help your game run smoother, faster or push your game in new directions.

Pretty soon you'll end up with a shelf (or directory of pdfs) of d&d adjacent books. RPG sourcebooks for games you may never play, but all of those books are farmable for a d&d campaign.

If you are your tables 5e DM, I will take some time out to promote the best 3rd party monster manual i've come accross 'Flee Mortals!'. It introduces a alternative system for monsters (mostly bosses) in combat called 'action oriented monsters', there are some videos on youtube if you search. Great book, fun systems.
The oxidation issues only happened on early runs of the 13th gen; the submission title is misleading.
Read the paper, the problem is each generation forgets information. Starting at the tails of the distribution they learn. No amount of filtering/selecting would help here. People would need to fill in missing information without AI help. If they are just filtering, it does nothing to stop model collapse.
Oh, of course. I was that well-resourced adversary (through the USG) for some time. :)

I just mean that if you want to own the market, you will not be able to do that unless you provide something fresh, and it will be a race to the bottom otherwise, in the long run. The same as dynamic web app scanning is today.

At Wiz's valuation, if they were to enter that space, they couldn't be 'just another player.' They'd have to own the space. And I don't think they can do that purely through marketing, as others are already much more entrenched.
Tie it to an as-yet-unknown startup company that sends people to your house very quickly to perform individual light housekeeping tasks. "MicroMaids.com" or some such.

Sounds invasive and scary, but I would've said (and probably did say) similar things about a service that connected you with strangers for the purpose of getting into their cars.
This article is just a (free) rephrasing of the (paywalled) article by theinformation.

This is exactly what the news industry is super concerned that AI will do, except done by humans and the news industry themselves.
I'm not sure what you're saying, but note that a file fundamentally cannot contain a null pointer, a file can just contain various bytes.
The review happens at the experimental design stage, not the publishing stage. Very little actual work has been done at that stage. After such a review, the journal agrees to publish your results regardless of outcome.
Others can build models that try to have decent performance with a lower number of parameters. If they match what is in the paper that is the crudest form of review, but Mistral is releasing some models (this one?) so this can get more nuanced if needs.

That said, doing that is slow and people will need to make decisions before that is done.
On my newest Toyota, they finally made it so you cannot disable the seatbelt chime.

The world needs more mad scientists.
All that’s true and you should always prepare for the worst case. That said, I’ve had a couple fraud events over the last few years before insulating layers like Apple Pay were widely available. I’d pay for dinner at some sketchy restaurant, then a month later someone’s using my card to buy gas in Tijuana (real story). My credit union was amazing each time. They’d immediately issue provisional refunds for the fraudulent amounts, waive any fees, and have a new card in the mail a day later. It was inconvenient to be sure, but the credit union made it as painless as possible.
Shell is Turing complete, you could implement anything there with enough effort.
> > 2. Propulsion-less drone satellites.

> Nowhere near enough thrust for this.

Of course there is.

If solar sail probes can change their orbits over time (which they can), then they already have enough thrust. There's no static friction to overcome, so there isn't a minimum thrust that you need to reach.

As long as you can continue to apply thrust over time, then you have a solution.
It doesn't matter if it takes 6 hours, 6 weeks or 6 months. Even a single probe moving the right piece of debris prevents tens of thousands of more pieces being generated. Imagine what three of them could do, or twenty...
My guess: either the reports are wrong or there's some other part of the deal we don't know about.

OpenAI isn't run by idiots, they wouldn't make a billion-dollar deal that didn't benefit them.
Perhaps they're betting on Apple not being able to outcompete them. When it is well entrenched in the Apple ecosystem it'll be time to start charging.
Android is an example of technical debt from poor caked-in design. Its problems are still stemming from being rushed to market (relatively speaking) two decades ago. It's had enormous success as the most viable iOS alternative, but at a cost.

On the flip side, consider PalmOS. It was SotA at its debut in 1996. In the early aughts, Palm made Treo smartphones when almost no one knew what a smartphone was. It had a multiyear lead, yet it got easily marginalized by iOS and Android. Its technical debt was from maintaining backward compatibility with 90's apps, and cost it dearly. To be fair, company management sucked too.

The moral is: caked-in issues suck, but if you're going all in with a design, the most important thing is to time it with the explosion of the market. Palm was too early, others like Maemo and Windows Phone were too late.
My Sonos Era 100s have the alexa integration and have my spotify account linked to them. You just gave me an idea!

tried again. "I didn't find anything called "office speakers" in your music library". To be fair, she suggested setting up multi-room in the alexa app, which I suppose I could do.

AI builds Android app from scratch with minimal user guidance
My knowledge of building mobile apps is pretty close to zero. So I thought this would be a perfect test for Workspaice! It is also a frequently mentioned/requested “benchmark” for code-generation AI models.
So here’s the most recent demo: building an Android app from scratch! Although the video is 37 minutes long, there are a lot of dead moments and me figuring things out. For someone experienced or who had done this before, this app could have been built in less than 10 minutes. The final cost was 2.50 USD. As always, I provide useful timestamps so you can skip ahead the boring parts

The business model for GenAI companies is still very unclear. The tech is super interesting and can be quite useful, but this space has turned into an arms race that’s led to mass commoditization of said arms. The tech world benefits from the very interesting advancements of the last few years, but commercially this all seems to be setting up a big train wreck.

This is how your customers get their entire cloud taken over, because you made a stupid, stupid decision and instead of fixing it when warned (repeatedly!) you instead decide to just blame the customer for not reading page 537 paragraph 3 subsection B about the counter-intuitive security footgun you've left in your product.

This is negligence, pure and simple.
