Humans do chain-of-thought.

User: Write “strawberry” one letter at a time, with a space between each letter. Then count how many r’s are in strawberry.

gpt-3.5-turbo: ASSISTANT
s t r a w b e r r y

There are 2 r's in strawberry.

After some experimenting, it seems like the actual problem is that many LLMs can’t count.

User: How many r’s are in the following sequence of letters:

S/T/R/A/W/B/E/R/R/Y

gpt-4o-mini: In the sequence S/T/R/A/W/B/E/R/R/Y, there are 2 occurrences of the letter "R."

Oddly, if I change a bunch of the non-R letters, I seem to start getting the right answer.
"This means it’s likely that Vance’s list of friends was largely populated by the contacts in his phone when he set up his account in December of 2016."

The first part of the article seems to imply that he's close friends with these people, close enough to be paying them back for drinks or splitting the bill at restaurants, but I don't think it's that damning that he's got them in his contacts considering that 2016 is when he got big with his book.
As someone who hasn't had social media for several years, unless you count this site for some reason, this is mildly concerning. Do I just have to make a burner Facebook account so my bank will let me access my own money?
I've used this before, it's a cool idea but it only sort of works. For most non-trivial examples, there will be still be a big discrepancy between the visual area of overlaps and the and the actual element count. Claiming that the graph is area-proportional might actually be more misleading if it's not actually accurate.

To improve it, you'd need more ways to mutate the shapes to try to find a solution with less error. E.g. if the circles could be squashed into ellipses, that would probably help. Of course, some higher-order graphs can't be shown with convex shapes at all, so you'd ideally want to be able to pull and stretch areas as needed. It's a hard problem.
as much as I dislike the current state of Twitter (now X (formerly Twitter)) and I'm aware of its biases - what is that serialization format? kebab-cased key names? no quotes around strings?

if it is real - keyword here being if - Twitter would have to had created its own parser for this. while not hard, why wouldn't they just... use something like JSON? YAML? TOML? ...XML?

i'm also not sure why would they host a configuration file like this out on the open web, when it's accessed strictly by the backend. why? what's the point...?

I found at least four web search engines not using Google's index that produced results from the last week.

Flutter is at best no different IMO, as now not only do you have to deal with Flutter's build system for Dart, you also have to deal with Kotlin/the default Android build system when you want to do something not supported by the Flutter std libs, which last I tried was quite a lot. That was a few years back though so maybe its changed (though I doubt it). Jetpack Compose is similar in its "not much better"-ness to me.

I can't remember if it was Compose or Flutter, where I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get something to stay centered on the screen regardless of orientation. Something that I could do pretty easily and quickly with my own UI tech library in C++. However I can't use that code without having to jump through all the annoying hoops you have to jump through with JNI crap in order to use it. So I just don't bother with Android anymore.

> They didn’t allow their clients any opportunity to test those changes before they took effect

I’d argue that anyone that agrees to this is the idiot. Sure they have blame for being the source of the problem, but any CXO that signed off on software that a third party can update whenever they’d like is also at fault. It’s not an “if” situation, it’s a “when”.
There's no reason they couldn't also list the tax as a separate line item. That's what they do in my state with liquor and cannabis.
> Why does that matter at all?

Because any action will have a negative impact on the legitimate sites and we want to maximize the effect while minimizing collateral damage.

It seems you’re saying if there’s a terrorist training camp with 10 terrorists and no bystanders in it, it would be unreasonable to drop a bomb on it unless we’re first willing to level the nearby city of a million people with 11 terrorists in it because it has more terrorists.

Which… no.

Cancelled Amazon two years ago after they banned me because the Amazon credit card on file was expired and they continued billing it.

Woke up to a house full of Alexa devices that couldn’t tell time. A banned account is the same as no internet access. Actually we overslept because none of the alarms worked.

None of this really surprises me but Amazon’s walled garden has really went down in quality.
Tangent, have you considered using the powder? It's much cheaper and you can pour the amount you need. The pods only come in large sizes so you're almost always going to be wasting detergent.
I think GP is a great comment with a poor example, because I agree that the resulting images in my mind are quite different, but they don't inherently have to be due to the order things are described in.
"Woke" is best described as an umbrella term for overrighteous performative moralizing leftist authoritarian fundamentalism. It's effectively used opposite of "fascism" which has become an umbrella term for "things I don't like" or "the right".
According to https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/content-removal-polic..., even an upstream dmca doesn’t suspend downstream by default (unless the copyright owner claims they believe all forks violate copyright) — so I would be surprised if downstream dmca suspended upstream.

NB: according to https://www.gtlaw.com/-/media/files/webinars/ian-ballon-may-..., page 4-470, it’s possible that failing to process a DMCA notice may only lead to losing safe harbor for the material identified in the notice, not for the entire service.

So GitHub might just choose to ignore the notice for React, get sued, and win, all without losing the safe harbor.

For less popular repos, I would not be surprised if you could take down any repo literally by submitting a completely bogus notice.

But honestly I still don’t know how much leeway - legally - service providers have in applying their own technical/legal expertise when evaluating DMCA notices. I’d appreciate any sources (court decisions, textbooks, whitepapers, descriptions of actual industry practices, etc) on the topic.
Well I'm not guessing, I'm asking.

It's always funny how people like this start from the assumption that Americans want mass transit, such as this.

Take a look around - I don't want my tax dollars spent on a transit project full of graft in NY. It's really that simple. And I don't want mass transit where I live.

This also belies the writer's condescension and hubris. I've been on many city mass transit systems, in the US and abroad, contrary to the story posted here, they aren't all "like star trek to (ignorant) Americans".

Spare me.

3.5 Sonnet is brilliant. I use it to write Unreal Engine C++ (which is quite dense and poorly documented) and it destroys Github Copilot and GPT4o.

I don't really mean "security through difficulty", I mean that on phones we have sandboxing, permissions, and a bunch of other factors that make phones much more secure than the average desktop/laptop. Browsers do provide a pretty good option here, but that comes at the cost of the browsers themselves being highly complex, and privileged software on the devices.

OP writing this prototype as a web app would likely have been the path of least resistance to having something work on mobile.
> As someone who has been handwriting HTML/CSS for literally 25-years, I'm still shocked dealing with media break points isn't easier.

I suspect its that every new project, you deviate, whether someone implements it differently, or someone else entirely implements it, and now you have to hack your way around the chosen path.

The one insane sounding approach I've seen is to just have a UI for one screen, and another ui for another. You hide one on mobile, the other on desktop.

There's so much nuance too, if you dont specify some meta tag your media breakpoints wont even work, which you'll forget when you start a new project after spending 6 years on an already built project.

> Just to be clear, do you believe milk.com is being squatted on right now?

I probably wouldn't call it squatting, but it's something economically similar.

> Should its registrant morally pay more than the default annual registration cost?

Yes.

> If so: How does consistently using a domain (any domain) for literally 30 years (as of a week ago) for a personal website and an email address constitute "squatting?"

If someone's using a highly-in-demand domain for a small website visited only by friends and one email address, then I see that as wasteful and icky. It's like having a /8 IP block because you registered in the early days of the internet, and using it for your home network of 5 computers. Or having a giant mansion in the middle of town where you live in a couple of rooms and leave the rest to rot. Or owning a bunch of historic paintings/cars/etc. that sit permanently in storage and are never used or seen. More "hoarding" than "squatting" I guess, but equally gross.
Its a horrible choice for said reason, but, its from StarGhostSG.

Very confusing
Focusing on the rollout and QA process is the right thing to do.

The bug itself is not particularly interesting, nor is the fix for it.

The astounding thing about this issue, is the scale of the damage it caused, and that scale is all due to the rollout process.

The experiment in the paper is not well designed. They are repeatedly fine tuning the model and replacing the entire data set each time with a noisier version. That's just not how the world works and is literally the most naive approach you could take. They should have attempted to increase the size of the training set using output from the model combined with human editing and input and figured out a good evaluation strategy. That would have at least approached reality and may have produced useful knowledge. The fact still remains that the paper is hopelessly far behind the sota and almost entirely divorced from the processes it intends to make claims about.
Yes, just google "biological computer". There's been research on this for decades, and there are many promising therapeutic avenues for many pathologies. And people have built real-world toy biological computers that do cool things.
Maybe it's just me but calling the people you're content marketing to pedants, haters and fanboys feels like somewhat flawed content marketing strategy.
ha, this is too typical. we have a super poor man's version of multi-room speakers (two shitty-sounding echos!) and whenever I try and throw the music from one to the other with a voice command Alexa just doesn't get it. I end up just going back into Spotify and manually tapping on the other room. of course now you have me fantasizing about having the sound of Sonos speakers; glad to hear someone has enough sense to optimize their music-listening experience.
that's not the url though.

the sub-domain in the image is "protected-users" - which makes no sense, btw.
Yeah youre probably right, I said something everyone likes and something everyone hates, and so everyone decides they hate the part they hate more than they like the part they like.

It doesn't really bother me though. What I said is true in my estimation. I can get to a mountain top in Colorado within a day from a thousand miles away with the last leg of the trip in a two wheel drive Toyota, but I can't get to the taco joint across the highway without getting in my car and driving a half mile to get to a u turn lane. The former is unbelievably fantastic, the latter is inexcusable.
Yeah, we have a small wireless sensor that sticks onto any machine, and gets data back to us. And we're building a platform that uses LLMs along with other types of models to process this data, and present our users with insights and information about their operations that normally gets missed.
This is often (but not always) true. Not sure why you're getting downvoted so much.

This is also how you'd communicate with a cat or dog. We [still] can't use complex long sentences in communications with them. And the LLM seems to be nicely reproducing that style and mindset of complete yet small sentence-bites you're in when communicating with your Good Boy or your Funny Cat.

It looks like it contains data from CommonCrawl and ArXiv. It's not clear what kind of processing they did, but sometimes these releases seem like just repackaging existing datasets with your name own name on them. It's not hard to get bulk downloads from these sources directly.
