Just as a note on naming - the namespace of SPL is already incredibly overloaded so the searchability will be quite poor. It's used (IMO misguidedly) by Splunk and has an older meaning in "System Programming Language" which used to be a pretty wide term to cover any architecture specific functionality activated by library from higher language (i.e. C) or directly through assembly.

Granted, amusingly enough, for a language that specifically tries to account for the difficulty in naming variables, it is extremely fitting that the language is, itself, poorly named.

It's just like the average pupil being in a larger than average class size, it's not impossible!

Take a situation where you have 499 lotteries with zero winners, and 1 lottery with 1000 winners.

There are on average 2 winners per lottery.

From the perspective of all the winners, there was an average of 1000 winners.

That's the very basis of the paradox in the article.

Now, in that case, the lottery would be investigated for fraud. But the paradox plays out in a much gentler sense.
You can generate a sound, but how do you know you generated the right sound? That's the point from the article that everyone seems to be missing. The problem isn't bounded because you can't know that your simulation is correct in finite time.

Those licenses themselves aren't even sufficient to protect against this, since copyright holders don't have to follow their own licenses. To be fully safe from this kind of rug pull, the project also needs to accept substantial external contributions without a CLA, like the Linux kernel does.
The customer is trying to solve a problem. Uber and Lyft are absolutely on the table for discussion.

Also, the limitations discussed above are not inherent to self driving. We have good reason to expect eventual parity or even general superiority to conventional taxis. This is not an apple and orange comparison. If Waymo brings their prices down and can take highway routes, Uber and Lyft will experience serious existential crisis unless they can innovate hard.

If Waymo brings their price down and can take better routes, customers will also wonder why even choose Uber or Lyft, and it won't be due to ignorance that they make this vice versa comparison.

> Average Jackpot prize is JackpotPool/Average winners.

> Average Jackpot prize given you win is JackpotPool/(1+Average winners).

That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Maybe you mean that most winners get less than the average prize.

Let's say that there is $1m jackpot and there could be one, two, three or four winners (with equal probability).

To simplify the calculation, let's say that each outcome happens once.

The average prize is $400k (4 x $1m / (1+2+3+4)).

A winner has 40% probability of getting just $250k and 30% probability of getting $333k.

----

Edit: Or maybe you tried to say something like the following but didn't get it right because "average winners" means different things when you win and when you don't.

> Average Jackpot prize is JackpotPool/Average winners when there are one or more winners

> Average Jackpot prize given you win is JackpotPool/(1+Average winners when there are zero or more winners).
That being said, it would be incredibly frustrating if I were paying people to to advertise for me (or giving people early access to something that will juice their channel), and they insisted on talking about black on black crime, welfare queens, and a "culture of grievance" while reviewing it because I'm black.

I also bet the NYT wouldn't be framing it as a censorship campaign if I made early reviewers sign something saying that they wouldn't; instead they'd be cheering me on.

Only a semi-scooter company but Lime, at least in London, do sometimes check the photos because I once got dinged for "incorrect parking" (wrongly, mind, it was parked identically to the Santander bikes a few metres away and thus incapable of inconveniencing anyone.)
That is a wild claim, I'd need to know a manufacturer who does this.
> If advice/coaching becomes 10x better through technology (big "if" haha), am I equipped to accept and enact it?

This is what I am arguing though. Even if it was a million times better it wouldnt matter. Advice is inherently useless. Making it better doesn't help. Purifying water more doesn't make it better at conducting electricity because water doesn't conduct electricity. And the fact that water can conduct electricity is because, accidentally, it might have other compounds in it that do conduct electricity.

The thing we need to focus on is figuring out how to obtain and apply truth. We already have access to enough truth to keep us busy for lifetimes. Its not going to be a technological solution and its not transferrable to other people ( see everything as theory building).

You said my conclusion was wrong (edit: Apologies, I confused the nesting level here), then proved it correct by calculating the expected number of winners given you win as 3/2.
Had to look up FINTS. You are right about accessibility.
1. Don’t use LSTMs (4 vector-matrix multiplies) or GRUs (3 multiplies). Use a fixed Hippo matrix to update state. Just 1 multiply and since it’s fixed you can unroll during training, much faster than backprop through time.

2. Write SIMD intrinsics by hand. None of the libraries are as fast.

3. Don’t use sigmoid or tanh functions as your nonlinear activation. Instead approximate them with the softsign function which is much cheaper.

Depends on exact architecture, but these optimizations have yielded 10-30x improvement for single threaded CPU real time audio applications.

When GPU audio matures all this may be unnecessary.

Can you check if there is another USB port exposed via a pin header? That is probably the easiest way if it is available. Otherwise, I think your best best is to solder wires onto the same pads used by the existing USB port. I wouldn’t try to desolder the port that is there, that could cause more problems. But if you can find a location on the board to tap into that USB port’s signals, you could solder wires to run another usb port using the same connections.
You make a good point.

Although it looks like a console/TUI application it is a GUI one. The underlying search engine is nothing new (PCRE2 JIT). Primary benefits revolve around having options be instantly discoverable instead of queryable behind a man page. Things that would of taken grep/find/fzf are wrapped up into one application. Here are some of the key features:

- Export results to file/clipboard/pipe

- Bookmarks: saved search presets

- Full search history (entries of source/filter/pattern)

- Built-in preview window

- Editor commands to jump to found matches (ex: gvim '$filepath' +$line)

- Drag/Drop found matches to an open text editor

- File dialog to select start directory

- Tab cycling of source filenames (console emulation)

- Logical operators coming soon (AND OR NOT XOR)

I suggest trying the free demo to get a better feel for the application.
Winners in this case means jackpot winners. This is especially relevant as unlike partial winners, the jackpot is shared, not duplicated.

> Given how simple it has become to get the correct response shape, do you feel there's still a point to it?

I am personally working on systems which don't do mrequire uch structured data output; my work is more around structure, style, etc. Fine-tuning is more effective and more consistent for me in those contexts.

One thing to remember is that the big models, like 4o and Claude, both are fine-tuned for chat interactions. This tuning can often make them dumber, more verbose, etc. because that's what the human feedback testing likes. You can look at some of the rating tests on chatbot arena as an example where two give the same answer, but people have voted more favorably for the one that delivers it with "more personality."

There are SLMs that are better tuned for specific use cases and outperform the big models as a result of this, and the examples OpenAI showed in the article make it clear the big models can benefit from this as well.

> From my understanding, fine-tuning allows for reducing model size, meaning less latency and cost. That seems like it would be the biggest advantage, no?

This is partially correct, fine-tuning can be a step of this process. The full pipeline looks more like:

1. Create a prompt which gets a large model to output (mostly) correct responses.

2. Build a dataset of those inputs/outputs, probably with human or LLM curation/judging in the loop since some will still be wrong.

3. Fine tune a small model on those inputs/outputs.

Now you have a smaller model which behaves more like the large model you were able to prompt engineer into instruction following.
>> Bear in mind that when something "breaks" a business can freak out, but they're not freaking out about lots of other arguably more important problems

THIS.

Worked for a huge corporation when I first started contracting as a developer. This was a daily occurrence. Someone would push some stuff to prod and it would break their very large e-commerce site. Sometimes it was minor stuff, other times it would cripple the entire site. Most of the time, nobody GAF at all.

I remember sitting at my desk one day and my senior dev walking by my desk like Lumbergh in Office Space. Coffee in hand and just casually said to me, "Looks like someone broke the build, most of the video game pages are throwing 404's right now, going to lunch, see you soon." and then just walked away.

I also found out one day one of the CDN folks that was running the Akamai account quit and then a month later, we found out one of our secondary content servers had been down since the day he left. When dude left, he never transferred any of his knowledge to the other team members so once they found out the server was down, it took another two days to get in contact with someone at Akamai who was handling our account.

At my previous job if something went down on our site, it was a four alarm fire, war room, and all hands on deck to get it resolved or heads would roll. It was so dysfunctional to work somewhere when something broke or stopped working, nobody was in any hurry to fix it. Several times I just thought, "Is this what they mean when they say "the inmates are running the asylum""?
Having worked professionally through the evolution video production from the early 80s to the present day, variously as an editor, videographer director and producer, then switching to making digital video production tools (both live and post) as a programmer, product manager, etc it's hard for me to watch anything and not think about how it was made along with pondering the tooling and workflow.

So, like you, I watched the film (as it was certainly produced on 16mm film) and was surprised by the quality of the graphics, titles and animation. Even the shooting and editing was remarkably good for what's obviously an industrial-grade training film produced on an assembly line. I was especially taken by the fidelity of the full screen title slides featuring soft-edged drop shadows. When I started out in video, the first place that hired me was a tiny hole-in-the-wall studio that produced corporate and industrial sales, marketing and training videos for mid-sized clients on 3/4 inch U-Matic tape. And they still laid out titles by hand a line at a time with a manual Letraset-type machine. The titles we did in the mid-80s didn't look as nice as what these guys were doing in 1953!
I feel your pain. Someone else shot me in the foot. No fun whatsoever.

GPT-4o has seen a lot of examples of what people write about coding on the web, what code exists, and what tasks people want to do with that. But that general data doesn't include full process of coding - get a bug report, look at a codebase beforehand, make changes to the codebase, test them and see exactly what bugs they have, and iterate. That process is what SWE-bench tests.

It's possible OpenAI did some coding fine-tuning themselves; Meta's Llama 3 paper [0], section 4.3.1 mentions what sort of work is needed. However, anything OpenAI did is based on their own tooling and set of assumptions - e.g. how is the existing code input into the LLM, what set of actions can the LLM take (e.g. look up documentation), what language is the output code being written in, etc. Cosine's LLM framework may do things differently and have different features, so you'd need to fine-tune the LLM to take maximum advantage of the framework.

It's like dropping the LLM down in front of Vim when it had only ever used or even heard of notepad (or even emacs); there needs to be some training to make it work well with the new tools it has.

"The rule for carry permit holders is that if they’re stopped by police, they’re to immediately inform the officer that they possess a gun and show their permit."

This varies by state. Whether required by law or not, though, carry permits often show up when the police run the license plate so handing over the carry permit along with driving license is good sense. It also shows the cop that you're not trying to hide anything.

Yes, I'm sure using modern hardware and modern techniques would improve both computation time and results.
If it's supposed to be a "modal operation", then it's supposed to complete before any of this becomes relevant. When that can't happen (e.g. because of an Internet hiccup), IMO the user should be able to take manual action to "minimize" (reversibly hide) the widget, but it shouldn't disappear until the operation is complete.
This book is by Bent Flyvbjerg, the lead author of the paper being discussed here. He’s done a lot of great scholarship on how megaprojects go haywire, and uniqueness bias is definitely a big piece of it.

You especially see this bias with North American public transit. Most of our transit is greatly deficient compared to much of the rest of the world, and vastly more expensive to build (even controlling for wages). But most NA transit leadership is almost aggressively incurious about learning from other countries, because we are very unique and special and exceptional, so their far better engineering and project management solutions just wouldn’t work here and aren’t even worth considering.
> it knows what is being said in those videos at the exact moment it is said.

How did you think they did automated closed captioning..?
I'm not surprised by the statement 'most people i meet don't understand this'. More than 50 percent of people I meet are less educated. Its statisticly evident.

I might be over reaching but in fact what comes across as arrogance is just an example of statistical illiteracy.

Most (>> 50 percent of) people are very good at detecting patterns. People are very bad at averaging numbers of events, because the detected patterns stand out so much and are implicitly and unconsciously exaggerated.

An example. "in my city people drive like crazy" in fact means: this week i was a lot on the road and i saw 2 out of 500 cars that did not follow the rules and there was even one honking. It 'felt' like crazy traffic but in fact it was not.
> The continuous nature of analog signals means they can theoretically capture an infinite amount of detail.

Uhm, no: It's called frequency range and signal to noise ratio.

> When you play an analog record, for example, the sound you hear is a continuous representation of the original performance.

Uhm, no: The roughness of a vinyl record is audible, pops and cracks are audible, and the last 1/3rd of the playable range of a 33.5rpm record can't even hold the highest frequencies that the human ear can hear. Often, deep bass needs to be filtered out so the needle doesn't skip out of the groove.

> In contrast, digital signals are inherently limited by their sampling rate and bit depth.

These directly correlate to frequency response and signal to noise ratio.

There are important differences in details: It's very hard to make digital equipment "sound" analog, but that comes down to design choices. IE, tubes tend to handle clipping and overdriving differently than digital equipment. To claim that analog is infinite and continuous demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding.

I think this is more like a developer was bored one afternoon and implemented this for fun, and then everyone else thought it was fun enough to put into the main codebase.
There seems to be no information on how this fine-tuning is implemented, and this matters, because parameter efficient techniques minimize catestrophic forgetting, which is most of what causes fine-tuned models to perform worse.

Until this happens, and until we have flexibility of fine-tuning techniques, I will push investors still towards PyReft, Lora, related, and the open source models where all of these techniques work.
Their public IP is how they reach your server, unless you're on the same computer or local network as them. Are you? It's not clear from your post where Node is running relative to your user.
