If that is the case, why don't AI models have built in feedback loops, where the humans that use them can continuously work with the model and provide further human data. The edge models can then merge in their modifications to a public model, or be island and refined based upon the human's needs.
Sonnet 3.5.

Opus is the largest model, but of the Claude 3 family. Claude 3.5 is the newest family of models, with Sonnet being the middle sized 3.5 model - and also the only available one. Regardless, it's better than Opus (the largest Claude 3 one).

Presumably, a Claude 3.5 Opus will come out at some point, and should be even better - but maybe they've found that increasing the size for this model family just isn't cost effective. Or doesn't improve things that much. I'm unsure if they've said anything about it recently.

Hard disagree on Visual Studio being a "premier" IDE, I know VS2022 cleaned up a lot from VS2019 but it still is one of the slowest IDEs I have ever used and the intellisense will just sometimes break through multiple windows restarts. One of my biggest tips to my classmates in uni has been to just use literally anything else from VS Code (which admittedly isn't much better but doesn't take nearly as long to start up) to the Jetbrains IDEs which are thankfully free for students.

EDIT: On second reading I see you meant specifically for C# where omnisharp in VS Code really leaves a lot to be desired but Rider is still at the very least a good peer if not straight up better and faster than Visual Studio

I think the graphics association comes from having written the implementation in HLSL. HLSL compute shaders are general-purpose (like CUDA) but often used in the graphics context, so graphics programmers might feel more comfortable with it?

Tbh I don't really know, I've done extensive ML and graphics work and I'd just pick the right tool for the job (PyTorch and just drop down to Triton/CUDA/whatever when you need custom GPU code).
Um... I don't know why I am this way but I have uh... talent in both of these areas and I certainly did seek out training but... this reads to me like someone who could enjoy being an amateur. If we are talking about "skill" I would stay away from the music industry and getting into any fights. Martial arts can be a wonderful activity regardless of their actual impact on self-defense (and drilling combatives certainly can help). Likewise, music can be enjoyed by someone or even an audience regardless of skill level. But again, if we are talking about skill... I'm talking about kicking a* and getting paid and I figured out a lot of that from random unguided exploration. Whether in jazz or combat, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Learn the few rules and break them. Your opponent will.

- WSL is virtual machine that runs in a virtual filesystem.

- msys2 is a port of linux tools that run directly in Windows.

- So WSL performance may be lower, especially with file operations.

- Also the integration may not be as intuitive (you have to think about which filesystem the files exist; you can't just open up any file from a Windows app.)

- Also Git bash for windows is faster than msys2 (or at least used to be): https://stackoverflow.com/a/47078501/117030

I find Git bash for Windows sufficient for most of my daily dev tasks. If something like make failed to work for some reason, then I might reach for WSL. (So far, I haven't needed to.)
Unleashing Postgres for Analytics with DuckDB Integration
Data that you place with an entity that is a large organization with many commercial and government ties - must be assumed to be accessible to some of those parties.

And if that entity has a complex system of storage and retrieval of data by and for many users, that changes frequently, without public scrutiny - it should be assumed that data breaches are likely to occur.

So I don't see it as very problematic that GitHub's private repositories, or deleted repositories, are only kind-sorta-sometimes private and deleted.

And it's silly that the article refers to one creating an "internal version" of a repository - on GitHub....

Still, interesting to know about the network-of-repositories concept.

I have a relative working on HS2. During the pandemic he was on zoom calls with five thousand people, none of whom were 'navvies'. He is car dependent, never uses the train and that money spent on HS2 to hire him has been spent on German cars and airline flights.

If I was in charge of HS2 I would get the thousands that shuffle spreadsheets to get pickaxes out and build the whole thing going all the way to Birmingham and beyond to Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow.
AmEx, at least classically (though less so today) is a “charge card”, not a “credit card”. It’s a subtle distinction, since they do extend short-term credit, but until Pay Over Time became a thing recently, your AmEx bill had to be paid in full every month.

As they made no money from balances carried, they have traditionally had higher merchant fees and annual fees for cardholders. The flip side, for the merchant, is that wealthy American cardholders vastly prefer using AmEx, so if those are part of your target market, you are much better off accepting it.
> The question is would it make people shop more?

No, that's not the question.

The question is would it make me shop more AT COSTCO.

And yes, it would make me shift some of my purchasing from my local grocery store to Costco. Costco is a long drive that's only worth it for large trips.

But if I could voice order for shipping or (even better) delivery? My local grocery with its god-awful parking lot full of blind 90-year-olds stuck in reverse would be in serious trouble.

> Unbiased AI is, I believe, an existential threat to the “powers that be” retaining control of the narrative, and must be avoided at all costs.

I remember when the internet was supposed to be an existential threat to the "powers that be". I'm pretty skeptical of narratives like this because the "powers that be" have a lot of resources to leverage any new technology for their benefit. At best a new technology is gives an asymmetrical advantage to small actors for a short time before everyone else catches on.
Something about synchronicity, serendipia, Jung, David F.Peat... must be true, because I've been trying to compile stuff with mingw for days and then it's not odd to see that either at HN, Reddit or the Spanish Digg/Reddit clone.

Jokes being put aside, I've got to cross-compile Kristall for MinGW (Windows 32 bit target, for W7), but it required tons of deps and it the end it gave me errros on some libs, so I will rebuild it statically with the full src in a parallel tgz. At least it launched with an error under Wine (dynamic binary), so I can say mingw32 works fine.

I tried to the same with Lagrange, but it gave me an error on libUnistring. As the $DISTRO I use didn't provide it as a MinGW package, I gave up.

I get it for $1.90 per 100μg tab and take a couple tabs every single day at this point. I guess it's similar to how some people microdose every few days; I just use (a lot) more.

> LSD in particular seems to have a sub-culture of people that are out there making it for the good of humanity (in their eyes). At <$4/tab and being a drug you -- or at least I -- wouldn't want to take more than a few times per year, it doesn't seem to have the profit motive that your typical club drugs have.

I agree, and I've always tried my best to source it from a responsible dealer who cares about the quality of their product. I just wish I didn't have to do that; while I don't expect to ever receive NBOMe myself, there is a vast landscape out there and many people have died due to failing to source the correct substance.

> I guess you could accidentally get an NBOMe from a dealer that didn't know any better, but you're not going to overdose on it.

Um, if you receive NBOMe, it is not safe regardless of how low you think the dosage is. See: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/25x-NBOMe#Overdose

An enterprise sales team with only 1 customer happens (eg, Mozilla 's search bar), but... That's surprising here, and scary as a sustainable & scalable business. Ignoring 5-6 figure/yr inquiries says a lot to me. In contrast, we did that same-day with Twitter without talking to anyone.

I suggest minimizing your dependency on Google. You should assume that at any moment they will decide to terminate your services, and act accordingly. Losing access to an account you do not have control over should not be more than a slight hiccup.

The real problem is their stock crashed, so their best engineers will probably leave, and then it will become increasingly worse in a feedback cycle until possible eventual bankruptcy.

Ideally the stock price should be pushed up to attract better engineers to go in and fix shit. If stockholders agree to bid up the stock 100% YoY, hell, even I'd look for a job there, and help fix shit in return for some juicy RSUs.

If you take away their funding, you can only expect worse in the future.
Neat idea. Is there a self-hostable version of this? I can't upload my screenshots to a 3rd party, because they contain lots of proprietary info.
The problem is that the model never gets to see individual letters. The tokenizers used by these models break up the input in pieces. Even though the smallest pieces/units are bytes in most encodings (e.g. BBPE), the tokenizer will cut up most of the input in much larger units, because the vocabulary will contain fragments of words or even whole words.

For example, if we tokenize Welcome to Hacker News, I hope you like strawberries. The Llama 405B tokenizer will tokenize this as:

Welcome Ġto ĠHacker ĠNews , ĠI Ġhope Ġyou Ġlike Ġstrawberries .

(Ġ means that the token was preceded by a space.)

Each of these pieces is looked up and encoded as a tensor with their indices. Adding a special token for the beginning and end of the text, giving:

[128000, 14262, 311, 89165, 5513, 11, 358, 3987, 499, 1093, 76203, 13]

So, all the model sees for 'Ġstrawberries' is the number 76204 (which is then used in the piece embedding lookup). The model does not even have access to the individual letters of the word.

Of course, one could argue that the model should be fed with bytes or codepoints instead, but that would make them vastly less efficient with quadratic attention. Though machine learning models have done this in the past and may do this again in the future.

Just wanted to finish of this comment with saying that the tokens might be provided in the model splitted if the token itself is not in the vocabulary. For instance, the same sentence translated to my native language is tokenized as:

Wel kom Ġop ĠHacker ĠNews , Ġik Ġhoop Ġdat Ġje Ġvan Ġa ard be ien Ġh oud t .

And the word voor strawberries (aardbeien) is split, though still not in letters.

Well, that's why this is purely a time-travel fantasy - I don't think we'll ever get a do-over:) And I can see the appeal to search domains, but I think in hindsight they pretty much failed, and what utility they have can be replaced with local or internal or something - "internal.www" can still be your intranet site, but now it's explicit. Or if we go with the other suggestion to force country TLDs then maybe it's fine for local DNS resolvers to do nonstandard TLDs, though I'm not super fond of that.
You trim, yes, but AI content surely invades (all?) areas of written material. People are increasingly using AI to assist their writing. Even it if's for slight editing, word choice suggestions.

Even AP doesn't ban the use of LLMs, its standards prohibit direct publishing of AI-generated content. I'm sure its writers leverage LLMs in some ways in their workflow, though. They would probably continue to use these even if AP attempted to ban LLMs (human incentives).

Wow. This is wild!
All great points, thank you! I'll need to think about this some more.

For context, queries are trying to find the next available equipment for tens of thousands of tasks, so hundreds of thousands of queries isn't too bad relative the to the amount of tasks. Equipment candidates are matched based on their capabilities (some equipment might support A or B, while others support B or C) and tasks might require certain combinations. This might complicate the multiset slightly but it seems like a good idea.

The ordered map I'm currently using handles adjacent available intervals by automatically coalescing them together, so I'm definitely taking advantage of that.

(But it seems that the Netherlands is an outlier exactly because the cost of end of life care is very expensive compared to "obesity care". But it would probably be much less surprising if we would see the data on graphs, as health problems - so associated costs too - tend to spike waaay up above 80, so in this model it seems that ~5 year difference makes up for a lot of money...)

> Web development, data science, embedded, scientific computing, general scripting

I don't follow this list. The large majority of both front-end and back-end web dev is almost entirely JavaScript, which completely abstracts the OS away and runs in a managed environment, mostly Chromium. This has first-class support on Windows anyway. What about writing CSS requires Linux? Web back-ends are usually written in one of JS, Python, C#, or Java, and all are platform-independent managed/interpreted languages.

Data science and scientific computing tend to be written in Python, especially considering ML/AI libraries, and Python works well on Windows.

As for general scripting, bash is a poor example. Python is again natively available, and better still, there is PowerShell, with straightforward access to the entire .NET/.NET Core libraries. I can absolutely write superb CLI interfaces in PowerShell (or even in C#, and then expose CLI interfaces in PowerShell). I don't see how Linux is in any regard superior.
Yeah, management should sternly tell All code / config must be tested before deployment to prod. Millions of companies have issued this order and after that they are running free of problem for decades.

It is so straightforward and it always works.
Each player can limit the other's income to $0 - the offerer can offer $0 and the receiver can reject any deal.

So then what's optimal? $50 seems obviously fair, but does that mean we ought to reject offers of $49 100% of the time? Not quite, to limit the opponent's expected income for an offer of $49 to $50 instead of the $51 they left for themselves, we can use a mixed strategy that only accepts the offer with probability 50/51. Extending that gives the opponent a benefit curve that is linear as they leave themselves more money up to $50 and then flat at $50 afterwards.

That's good, but we can make it better - if we accept offers for $X<$50 with probability 50/(100-X) - epsilon*(50-X), then their expected benefit curve is smooth and has a peak at $50, which is the most we can expect to make except against a generous opponent.

After all that, playing this game as stated against an unknown opponent there's a lot of uncertainty. Maybe all your opponents are entirely irrational and move at random. Maybe all your opponents have colluded and decided that $66 for the offerer and $34 for the receiver is fair and that's the only deal they'll make. But if you think that random actors in the universe are reasonably intelligent and can discover the equilibrium above with the thought worth putting into this Ultimatum game, the receiver strategy above properly aligns incentives.
Ask Siri, Dictation and Privacy
Can't you just ask it to set the volume to a specific volume as a percentage, like 38%? This works on Google Home. In the Google ecosystem, it also usually works if you ask it to raise the volume by a small increment like 5%. (Other times, this sets the volume to 5%.) I think you also used to be able to ask the device to raise the volume 'a bit' or 'a lot', for 5% or 20% respectively, but that stopped working a long time ago and I haven't tried recently.

If neither of these work, then I am very frustrated on your behalf.
