I see it as a new race to build the personal computer (PC) all over again. I hope we can apply the lessons learned and can jump into open source to speed up development and democratize ai for all. We know how Microsoft played dirty in the early days of the PC revolution.
Humans also constantly make mistakes that are due to proximity in their internal representation. "Could of"/"Should of" comes to mind: the letters "of" have a large edit distance from "'ve", but their pronunciation is very similar.

Especially native speakers are prone to the mistake as they grew up learning english as illiterate children, from sounds only, compared to how most people learning english as second language do it, together with the textual representation.

Psychologists use this trick as well to figure out internal representations, for example the rorschach test.

And probably, if you asked random people in the street how many p's there is in "Philippines", you'd also get lots of wrong answers. It's tricky due to the double p and the initial p being part of an f sound. The demonym uses "F" as the first letter, and in many languages, say Spanish, also the country name uses an F.

Isn’t this essentially what people have been complaining has happened to Google search results?
An acquaintance investigating Reddit's moderation mechanization inquired how a major subreddit was moderated after an Associated Press post was auto removed by automod. They were banned from said sub. They inquired why they were banned, and they shared they would share any responses with a journalism org (to be transparent where any replies would be going, because they are going to a journalism org). They were muted by mods for 28 days and were "told off" in a very poor manner (per the screenshots I've seen) by the anonymous mod who replied to them. They were then banned from Reddit for 3 days after an appeal for "harassment"; when they requested more info about what was considered harassment, they were ignored. Ergo, inquiring as to how the mods of a major sub are automodding non-biased journalism sources (the AP, in this case) without any transparency appears to be considered harassment by Reddit. The interaction was submitted to the FTC through their complaint system to contribute towards their existing antitrust investigation of Reddit.

Shared because it is unlikely Reddit responds except when required by law, so I recommend engaging regulators (FTC, and DOJ at the bare minimum) and legislators (primarily those focused on Section 230 reforms) whenever possible with regards to this entity. They're the only folks worth escalating to, as Reddit's incentives are to gate content, keep ad buyers happy, and keep the user base in check while they struggle to break even, sharing as little information publicly as possible along the way [1] [2].

>Websites don't cost that much to run.

Popular websites that allow user content to be uploaded or linked do cost that much to run, due to content moderation.

There might be a small (relatively) forum here and there that a few good moderators are willing to slave away at keeping clean, but you will never see a website that allows user content with as many users as Reddit/Youtube/Instagram/etc be cheap.

Although, due to AI, the cost to spam the small forums might be so small that even they might come into the crosshairs.

> it sounds like they might have separate "validation" code

That's what stood out to me. From the CS post: "Template Instances are created and configured through the use of the Content Configuration System, which includes the Content Validator that performs validation checks on the content before it is published."

Lesson learned, a "Validator" that is not actually the same program that will be parsing/reading the file in production, is not a complete test. It's not entirely useless, but it doesn't guarantee anything. The production program could have a latent bug that a completely "valid" (by specification) file might trigger.

Proxy IPs are also known and typically blocked. In fact, you can't even browse reddit without logging in when connected to most proxies.

Many web scraping companies have loads of phones hooked up in a rack in order to use mobile IPs. Companies can't just block mobile IPs because their site would become unusable for several city blocks (mobile IPs often correspond to a specific cell tower). This is the face of modern web scraping: https://i.imgur.com/U2RXi5G.jpeg

As a resident of Oregon, I am asking moreso from the perspective of ignorance and wanting to know more about this, so I'd love some insight here. From what I can tell, the following is what was "banned" or, in other words, implemented. To me, it reads a lot less as a ban, and a lot more as allowing the option for people to increase density on a property if they choose to do so. Do you have more information on where single-family homes were banned in the state of Oregon?

I mean, I live in a city with well over 25,000 residents and am currently watching a single-family development being built along my commute.

>Towns and cities with over 10,000 residents were required to allow duplexes on land zoned for single-family homes by June 2021.

>Towns and cities with over 25,000 residents were required to allow up to four-unit buildings as well as cottage clusters—four or more detached units with a shared courtyard—in residential zones by June 2022.

Let the consumers sue the hospitals and banks, and let those entities that directly interface with consumers sue Intel in return. Consumers need an interface to recover damages. This will provide the motivation not to keep around shit vendors and entertain shit contracts that basically absolve the vendors of all blame.

When the damages are in the billions we need to make sure that there are billions in liability to balance the scales. Or else there will always be a perverse incentives to not give a shit.

All of that - the setup, the instruments, dependencies, methods - should be pre-submitted to the journal before the experimental results arrive. The journal should be the one that uses the data from the experiment and runs your pre-submitted program over the data to produce a result.

I'm not sure if methods like article spinning counts as written by humans. This is something you could automate before AI and it would take a human written article and randomly swap words with similar meaning throughout to make it seem original.

When I started my career there was still a sense of agility and meritocracy in tech that made it super appealing. But that vibe feels very much gone now. Of the last 3-4 CEOs I worked under - not a single one actually built a company or rose up through the ranks. All of them started their careers in consulting or management.

So not saying they can't be good CEOs or leaders, or that there are companies that aren't exceptions, but I have now worked with enough executives at a number of medium and large companies to see that tech industry is overall shifting towards management/labor class divisions. It's like the military - even the best, most decorated enlisted has to salute the dumbest officer.
I'm not sure I even care. Reddit has long been a cesspool, anything that was useful on there has since replicated to other channels (and usually in a much more consumable format), the subs are now all echo chambers, the site is gruelingly slow, and any network effects I personally had have all gone because all my friends have bailed.

To quote Rocky IV: "if he dies, he dies".
I've seen it on HN (phpnode said as much just in this same thread), I've heard people say it in person at meetups and cons, and I've had other interviewers discuss it after interviews. Maybe people aren't willing to discuss concerns like that with you.
consultants spouting industry-standard slop, which means now everyone is on the same platform -- which we've just down doesn't really cover their butts.

and to be fair, having some sort of tool like that isn't necessarily a bad thing, the problem is when the tool gets pushed without testing and breaks the internet.
Hence my comment "it depends on what you measure."

Microsoft is clearly continuing to find success in an enterprise space that had its addressable market grow astronomically during Ballmer's tenure.

At the same time, they went from absolute dominance in the 90s software market to having a smaller share of a much larger enterprise market today. Is that success? Maybe. Was it due to Ballmer, or was it inevitable? Also unclear.
You're saying there exist a complex software system without a bug despite following best practices to the dot and certified + compliant?
Well that’s what the TFA is about. If you indiscriminately ingest synthetic data into training - the child learning from their own textbook - the model collapses.

The SOTA is to use a discriminator (often another LLM or ML algo) to select the best output before feeding it into the training data. That’s what OpenAI, Anthropic, et al have been doing. One of them just published a paper about it a few weeks ago.

From my experience living in London, the tube is worse (at least the deep level lines which are much louder) but somewhat comparable to Montreal.

Let me be clear. Pay me to have children enough for them to live comfortably: I will have children. The reason is purely monetary. More money - more children.

Ethics, philosophy, you can argue along those vectors all you want. It will be useless and moot.

The answer isn't 'let me change my mind about my opinions about sending a child into wage slavery' the answer is to 'convince me (with money) my child won't have to be a wage slave and having one won't make my family homeless due to financial strains; convince me that my child will have a good life'.

You want more children - pay up: 3C7tm5a1UMgsnwGF5GtYQazLxnG9y23v2B - btc address.

The answer really is as simple as: more money is needed.
The biggest one is that it's hard to get "zero matches" from an embeddings database. You get back all results ordered by distance from the user's query, but it will really scrape the bottom of the barrel if there aren't any great matches - which can lead to bugs like this one: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jun/6/accidental-prompt-injec...

The other problem is that embeddings search can miss things that a direct keyword match would have caught. If you have key terms that are specific to your corpus - product names for example - there's a risk that a vector match might not score those as highly as BM25 would have so you may miss the most relevant documents.

Finally, embeddings are much more black box and hard to debug and reason about. We have decades of experience tweaking and debugging and improving BM25-style FTS search - the whole field of "Information Retrieval". Throwing that all away in favour of weird new embedding vectors is suboptimal.
I believe the correct term you are looking for is privateers, not robbers.

Ohhh, I was wrong. Seems there are two categories where work made for hire applies. One is specifically for work made by an employee (with some constraints / definitions on that) for work made within their scope of employment. The other category requires explicit mention of "work for hire".

So that a conventional employee is covered, but a contractor / consultant with a separate business probably isn't.

it's so bad it's crazy, you can legit not find stuff on the internet anymore, it's the same with youtube, I search something and get like 20 or so results and then everything else is hidden.

it started when youtube removed the ability to search for videos older than 5 years, if I had to guess? cost saving, have every old video in cheaper storage... but it sort of fragments youtube, every couple of years you only get newer content.
from my interactions with Googlers, they are pretty bad at assessing non-leetcode related strategy.

Midjourney churns out fantastic images. But for most paying customers, the goal of image generation is to create something that can be used in a financially useful way - such as an ad campaign.

Midjourney's images just don't give me that much control to create the kind of ads I exactly want. I get a poor approximation at best. Which might be fine if I'm a small business running Facebook ads with a $2,000 monthly budget. But if I'm a large brand with a reputation and creative vision to protect, Midjourney just doesn't give me the control I need.

This is the same problem across all current LLM applications. Great for small businesses, hustlers, entrepreneurs. But not enough control for the big boys to deploy it at scale.
everybody saying this is a bad idea, which gives me hope that it might work out.
The historical point was that for Spring OS "fast path" calls, if you kept register stack small enough, you could avoid spilling at all.

Switching from task A to task B to service a "fast path" call AFAIK (have no access to code) involved using WIM register to set windows used by task A to be invalid (so their use would trigger a trap), and changing the ASID value - so if task B was already in TLB you'd avoid flushes, or reduce them only to flushing when running out of TLB slots.

The "golden" target for fast-path calls was calls that would require as little stack as possible, and for common services they might be even kept hot so they would be already in TLB.
I gave the article a brief scan and I was looking for anything NeRF related. I saw the article was implementing an MLP which is the main neural network component of NeRFs.

> The type of neural network that we’re going to use in this article is called multilayer perceptron (MLP). It is relatively simple, but also powerful, and is widely used in practice (e.g., for neural radiance cache (NRC) and neural radiance fields (NeRFs)).

This is the only reference to graphics that I found. The title can be changed a bit to reflect that it’s probably a part 1 from a series.

Edit: after some less brief scanning I found more references to graphics:

> The goal is to train the network to perform a desired mapping between inputs and output values. E.g., the NRC algorithm trains the network to map inputs like surface position and normal to radiance values.
