I miss my Delorme Street Atlas, where I could set up custom "avoid" and "prefer" zones (geographical or road-based), could customize preference by road type (via speed limits), and even draw my own roads.

It did though require bulky Windows tablet with special car mount... I don't miss that part at all.
Pretty bait and switchy to let the person sign up and then demand an invite code.
In my own experiments I have had major failures where much of the text is fabricated by the LLM to the point where I just find it hard to trust even with great prompt engineering. What I have been very impressed with is it’s ability to take medium quality ocr from acrobat with poor formatting, lots of errors and punctuation problems and render 100% accurate and properly formatted output by simply asking it to correct the ocr output. This approach using traditional cheap ocr for grounding might be a really robust and cheap option.

I hate glossy displays myself, they only work well in dark environments or with REALLY bright displays (The worst combo is glossy display + OLED + not-dark-room)

As to fingerprints/etc, I think the folks who got this right are the ones that figured out matte nickle faucets do better than chrome faucets, which always have fingerprints and dried water droplets.
So then yes you agree with this:

A Fintech's Collapse Raises Questions About a Hot Business Model
I do believe in objective reality, but probabilities are subjective. Your cat weighs 13 pounds, and now that you've told me, I know it too. If you asked me to draw a probability distribution for the weight of your cat, I'd draw a tight gaussian distribution around that, representing the accuracy of your scale. My cat weighs a different amount, but I won't tell you how much, so if we both draw a probability distribution, they'll be different. And the key thing is that neither of us has an objectively correct probability distribution, not even me. My cat's weight has an objectively correct value which even I don't know, because my scale isn't good enough.
And the teams say that they only use it to analyze blood values during altitude adaptation. As the article mentions, the technique isn't new, so why imply that teams are using it for nefarious purposes?

> And there is no hard evidence that any WorldTeams are currently using CO inhalation for performance gains. But multiple sources for this article voiced concern that it might be imminent, and possibly already happening in cycling or other sports.

To go from that to "people dope now with CarbonMonoxide" is dishonest.
Have you heard of 0pass? Sounds kinda similar to what you're doing, and they are a YC-backed company. Maybe try reaching out to them.
Congrats on the launch!

Your service looks interesting, but I think you need to be more transparent about your infrastructure. To which "inference providers" do you proxy to, and when? Who is hosting the GPU clusters?

Also, a privacy policy and ToS document are pretty important, even at this stage.
It's kind of poetic how Global Warming only gives +15 trust.
Well, the reputation comes directly from a few big scandals in the past - Armstrong/US Postal most obviously.

More generally, it’s obviously an ideal sport for some forms of doping given it’s based around extreme endurance. But there’s probably also lots of doping in other appropriate sports - running has plenty of history, swimming, biathlon, cross-country skiing, etc.
This has been asked several times in the past.

That's true if the time resolution is limited. Theoretically there could be no limit. It would not make for a very practical alphabet, but it would still be an unlimited alphabet.
In fairness, the invite code is at the top of this post.

What concerns me more is the lack of any privacy policy or anything about training on inputs/outputs and much more.

The lack of a system prompt seems weird too.

How does this compare to OpenRouter.ai?

> And, it absolutely should not require creating two identical function definitions to get around the function coloring problem - that's completely indefensible.

I'm afraid I don't follow. It's impossible for you to have two identical functions (one sync and one async), since then they would both be sync. What did you mean?
yeah, I called this out too.

How this compares to OpenRouter is something I'd like to know as well.

Specifically about how Russia (Putin) wanted to look good by making their athletes stronger for their Sochi olympics. The soviet union was also known for doping their athletes for propaganda purposes.
Who knows. Maybe he's doing it and saying he's not is the b.s.

He will likely do at least two more impulsive things before the election in line with this.
The two which I’ve read are concerning are using the ferromagnetic material in a sub to detect tiny variations in the magnetic field using supercooled sensors and just better computers and acoustic sensors to extract more signal from well below the noise floor.

There’s also some more science fiction level technologies proposed like using the nuclear signature of a sub’s reactor or using space based LIDAR to detect signs of the wake of a submerged submarine but I’ll defer judgment on those for now. But longer term I wouldn’t completely count them out.
So what if a car company makes EVs, but pays a someone else a signficant portion of each car (the batteries).

I get my resources through a combination of servers my lab bought with using a government grant and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (nee Compute Canada)'s cluster.

These resources aren't available to the public, but if I were king for a day we'd increase science funding such that we'd have compute resources available to high-school students and the general public (possibly following training on how to use it).

Making sure folks didn't use it to mine bitcoin would be important, though ;)
> Why have Json? We can always use binary to save a lot of space and bandwidth and the IDE will always compile it into plain text for us

Yes, this is a great idea, and people would do it if there was widespread support for a binary structured format.

The difference between this incredibly ignorant sarcasm and my point is that IDEs already support the thing that I'm suggesting. You can already hover over a method and it'll give you information about the types of the arguments and return values that are specific to the call site.

> At the end it's a balance and subjective preferences

...and you completely missed the main point of my comment, which was not about what information to show, but avoiding duplication due to function coloring:

Baldness has been in fashion for nearly two decades. Between that and beards returning, this is a great time to be balding.
Good callout! Currently:

1. If Together.ai has the model, we proxy to them, since they're faster than us. We might switch to Fireworks for the Llama-3.1 models since they offer them at lower cost; in general that's why I didn't specify the inference providers, since we'll probably change and optimize that quite a bit. (Also would be interesting to try using Groq, since they're so fast.)

2. If the model isn't hosted somewhere else, e.g. a lot of the Llama 3 finetunes, we run the models on our own GPU clusters hosted in Fly.io. This will probably change in the future as well, since some models would really benefit from NVLink (which Fly doesn't support currently).
I don't know of any way to report "open highway" to Google Maps at all.

There is a way to report road closure in the Google Maps app, but it does not change the map at all - it puts the red "stop" sign, and it's intended for temporary road closures. It would not been appropriate for reporting OP's road which was open, but required high-clearance vehicle to navigate.

I don't know why you call Google Map editing is "a global social activity" -- my experience is just the opposite. Google Maps data sources are opaque and impenetrable, some streets might stay out of date for years, while the next town over is updated very quickly. It's also full of glitches (for example there was a multiple-weeks interval where it thought a small segment of major street near me was closed, so every route had useless detour around it)

> Is there any record in post-roman history of a city subject to destruction which wasn't rebuilt?

Tana (Tanais) comes immediately to mind, founded by the Venetians in the 14th century (notionally a refounding of the ancient Greek city), destroyed by the Mongols about 100 years later and essentially never fully rebuilt after that.

Machu Picchu might be another example, depending on your definitions of "post-roman" and "destruction".

Aghdam, Marinka and Soledar would be current cases, though they may be rebuilt (already planned for Aghdam).
It's certainly not enough to justify a $23B valuation target, or even $12B assuming reasonable multiples in the space (average is ~15x in cyber tools and controls). Lacework went from an $8B valuation to $200M–$230M (first with Wiz attempting to acquire, and now Fortinet at the valuation I mentioned, roughly ~2x revenue, ~3x if we want to be generous). A case can be made that Wiz is a more mature platform and Lacework is a fire sale (which it is, but also not a great sign for the rest of the space), but I'll argue a lot of Wiz's revenue is likely premium pricing with current customers that can cram them down on at their next renewal cycle, and the TAM is simply only so big (with competitors being as, if not more, resourced to compete and stay ahead).

I seem to recall that the most common type of doping is actually to increase recovery, both to make it easier to train hard again the next day and to recover from injuries faster. Apparently it's pretty common in football (soccer) to get injured players back in action, and that's not a sport that most people would think benefits a lot from the classic doping types that increase muscle mass or endurance. Sure they run and have some physical contact, but not that much.

Does the range query aggregate the elements in range? If the aggregation operation forms a group (follows associativity law, has inverse) you can use prefix sum data structures like Fenwick tree.

If it doesn't have inverse so that you cannot subtract prefix sum, sparse table can be used.

Up to you. You can stop people from reading your book but you can't stop people from doing math.
I noticed last year that they’d simply say “photo” at the time they were to take it. Not, would you like to? (Because you’d say no)… nor you must. It’s mildly awkward, so they must’ve been trained explicitly to just say “photo” which is not a question or a command.
For example if you are using an "ordinary" kernel where there is some sliding window of nonzero weights contributing to the output value, you can compute the two dimensions in separate passes.

Actually not a terribly stupid idea. I get that the Musk hate brigade will probably find something to call foul on, but Elon's attention has definitely been more on xAI recently, so a big investment like this could help Tesla solidify its position.

Real question: What is to stop someone with power/money from taking advantage (or just fooling) someone with UBI to sign away their future UBI income? For example, the UBI person wants to buy a car, but has nothing other than UBI, the car dealer says, "no problem, just sign here and all your UBI for the next 5 years will pay for the car. Not our problem if you don't have anywhere to park it or gas to run it". Historically, those with power are able to clip a little extra assets from someone who doesn't have the power. Why wouldn't the UBI just become a new baseline for almost-zero? I hope I'm phrasing this in a way that is understandable.
> While yes it shows these are good tools, capable of confirming/proving these intuitions and showing exactly how these specific systems achieve that, is there ever any concern we are making too many redundant concepts? That may lead to confusion and obfuscate the search for novel ideas, which I think won’t always happen through said tools.

On the contrary, coming up with good general abstractions reduces the number of concepts you have to keep in your head and makes it much more possible to search for novel ideas. Imagine trying to figure out whether a given computing device was different to other computing devices without having the general concept of a Church-Turing computer - you wouldn't even get started.
Analogies are always going to fall short. With LLM weights, you can modify them (quant, fine-tuning) to get something different, which is not something you do with compiled binaries. There are ample areas for collaboration even without being able to reproduce from scratch, which takes $X Millions of dollars, also something that a typical binary does not have as a feature.
Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: “There is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer, who was very proud of his mastery of C, said: “How can this be? C is the language in which the very kernel of Unix is implemented!”

Master Foo replied: “That is so. Nevertheless, there is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer grew distressed. “But through the C language we experience the enlightenment of the Patriarch Ritchie! We become as one with the operating system and the machine, reaping matchless performance!”

Master Foo replied: “All that you say is true. But there is still more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer scoffed at Master Foo and rose to depart. But Master Foo nodded to his student Nubi, who wrote a line of shell script on a nearby whiteboard, and said: “Master programmer, consider this pipeline. Implemented in pure C, would it not span ten thousand lines?”

The programmer muttered through his beard, contemplating what Nubi had written. Finally he agreed that it was so.

“And how many hours would you require to implement and debug that C program?” asked Nubi.

“Many,” admitted the visiting programmer. “But only a fool would spend the time to do that when so many more worthy tasks await him.”

“And who better understands the Unix-nature?” Master Foo asked. “Is it he who writes the ten thousand lines, or he who, perceiving the emptiness of the task, gains merit by not coding?”

Upon hearing this, the programmer was enlightened.

I disagree. Not saying the other benchmarks are better. It just depends on your use case and application.

For my use of the chat interface, I don't think lmsys is very useful. lmsys mainly evaluates relatively simple, low token count questions. Most (if not all) are single prompts, not conversations. The small models do well in this context. If that is what you are looking for, great. However, it does not test longer conversations with high token counts.

Just saying that all benchmarks, including lmsys, have issues and are focused on specific use cases.

If you've heard any hubbub about "infrastructure bills" in the past couple decades that's because a lot of the maintenance for the infrastructure we built then is coming due. Things age. But money today is not as cheap as it was in the good old days. So we bear heavier costs on more widespread failures. Our age of unbridled growth is coming to an end.

If you monkey patch, you get what you paid for - and an annotation at the call site or definition wouldn't help anyway!

If not, then we should be able to use the type annotations that are being added to also indicate async-ness.

If people decide to code Ruby "blind" (without a smart IDE), then that's their choice. There's no reason why someone using an IDE should have to pay for their decisions. We don't force people to manually and redundantly add names and types of parameters to call sites - it makes equally little sense to do the same for async. If someone decides to use a dumb IDE, then they can read the docs, exactly the same as they do for function parameters.
