I think the post is great, clear and fair and all that. And I definitely agree with the general point that o1 shows some amount of improvement on generality but with a massive tradeoff on cost.

I'm going to think through what I find "misleading" as I write this...

Ok so I guess it's that I wouldn't be surprised at all if we learn that models can improve a ton w.r.t. human-in-the-loop prompt engineering (e.g. ChatGPT) without a commensurate improvement in programmatic prompt engineering.

It's very difficult to get a Python-driven claude-3.5-sonnet agent to solve ARC tasks and it's also very difficult to get claude-3.5-sonnet to solve ARC tasks via the claude.ai UI. The blog post shows that it's also very difficult to get a Python-driven o1-preview agent to solve ARC tasks. From a cursory exploration of o1-preview's capabilities in the ChatGPT UI my intuition is that it's significantly smarter than claude-3.5-sonnet based on how much better it responds to my human-in-the-loop feedback.

So I guess my point is that many people will probably come away from the blog post thinking "there's nothing to see here", o1-preview is more of the same thing, but it seems to me that it's very clearly qualitatively different than previous models.

Aside: This isn't a problem with the blog post at all IMO, we don't need to litter every benchmark post with a million caveats/exceptions/disclaimers/etc.

I see. As I said, it could be just because of me being non-native and living in a non-English-speaking country.

But it was interesting anyway; after decades of reading in English and years of working and daily communicating in English, I thought I had seen it all :D
Given that it's definitionally military-grade hardware, and very high value-density and therefore easy to store very securely, I doubt it.
Very interesting - it is as if the healthy membrane shape is the target bytecode to which the varying "source" shapes in varying categories of jellies converge to under varying temperature/pressure conditions in order to live.
> Way to cherry pick the one definition that fits your argument and ignore all the other definitions which kinda fit for what this model is doing.

There is no definition on the linked page that isn't self-referential or even more inapplicable in the context of transformer based LLMs?

* "an individual act or product of thinking": This is self-referential.

* "a developed intention or plan": The model doesn't have an intention or plan - it predicts the probability of text based on a user prompt mixed with corporate-inflicted bias.

* "the intellectual product or the organized views and principles of a period, place, group, or individual": GPTs are not periods, places, groups or individuals. I don't doubt that the input to the model is based on thought, but this is not the same as the model thinking. Maybe this is where your confusion originates from?

Bonus: I asked GPT4o "Can you think?" (sorry I won't pay for o1). It was trained to state itself that it can't think:

"I can process information, analyze patterns, and provide responses based on data and logical reasoning. However, I don't "think" in the human sense—I don't have consciousness, emotions, or subjective experiences. My abilities are limited to generating text, solving problems, and assisting with tasks based on the vast amount of information I've been trained on.

In essence, I simulate reasoning, but I don't have awareness or independent thought."

I would add that I strongly doubt that it is capable of even simulating "reasoning" as is claimed by the model "authors" (not sure if we can say they are authors since most of the model isn't their IP). And I can prove that the models up to 4o aren't generally able to solve problems.

The question really is whether a group of people is attempting to anthropomorphize a clever matrix processor to maximize hype and sales. You'll have to answer that one for yourself.
I guess the dreams of the past glory times never die for those families. Best keep them well-removed from the levers of power.
Isn't compare a Python project to a Bash script an unfair comparison?

Compare a Python script to a Bash script. If your Python3 script (assuming no dependencies) doesn't work after 6 months I got some questions for you.

(And I don't really get how a 6 month old Python _project_ is likely to fail. I guess I'm just good at managing my dependencies?)
Exactly.

Much of the discourse around this topic has described ideal testing and deployment practise. Maybe it's different in Silicon Valley or investment banks, but for the sorts of companies I work for (telco mostly) things are very far from that ideal.

My view of he industry is one of shocking technical ineptitude from all but a minority of very competent people who actually keep things running... Of management who prioritize short term cost reduction over quality at every opportunity, leading to appalling technical debt and demoralized, over-worked staff who rapidly stop giving a damn about quality, because speaking out about quality problems is penalized.
Hmm. My first thought was that I shared non-public links, but I double-checked I can access them from another machine.
For fun, I took a crack at your example and came up with this craziness (with the caveat it's late and I didn't spend much time on it), which is made a bit more awkward because grep doesn't do capturing groups:

netstat -aln \
| grep ESTABLISHED \
| awk '{print $4}' \
| grep -Po '\:\d+$' \
| grep -Po '\d+' \
| sort \
| uniq -c \
| sort -r \
| head -n 10

Changing the awk field to 5 instead of 4 should get you remote ports instead of local. But yeah, that will be fragile if netstat's output ever changes. That said, even if you're piping objects around, if the output of the thing putting out objects changes, your tool is always at risk of breaking. Yes objects breaking because field order changed is less likely, but what happens if `Get-NetTCPConnection` stops including a `State` field? I guess `Where-Object` might validate it found such a field, but I could also see it reasonably silently ignoring input that doesn't have the field. Depends on whether it defaults to strict or lenient parsing behaviors.

Yeah, I can see why someone might assume that the activation lock would be disabled in that scenario. But on the other hand, I can also see why someone would absolutely expect that it wouldn't be.

I might want (and have wanted) to reinstall macOS and start fresh without any intention of relinquishing or transferring ownership of the physical device. And I might want to log out of iCloud because I don't want to sync my personal stuff on that computer anymore, or because something funky is happening with how messages or photos are syncing and I just want to reset it all. I'd be pretty pissed if, six months after reconfiguring everything, someone nabbed my laptop and I discovered that activation lock had been automatically disabled for me the whole time without my explicitly doing so.

Given these mutually irreconcilable user expectations, I can see why Apple would opt for a design that favors the more cautious approach where you have to press a very specific sequence of buttons to disable the lock. Maybe I'm just selfish, but knowing a laptop I sent away couldn't be repurposed but ended up as e-waste would make me feel a little guilty, but knowing a laptop I didn't want to lose got stolen with all my stuff on it exposed to the thief would make me apoplectic with rage.
Their existence seems tenuous at this point so any criticism, warranted or not could bring the whole thing down in my opinion. At that point the only place making advanced chips is the far east.

This would make certain things more convenient, but wouldn't be very versatile and would feel terrible in terms of overall language semantics

Try expressions (mentioned in other comments) seem significantly better, but still feel like they're trying to tack on something that fits awkwardly into the original language design (though that's kind of the history of JavaScript)

I abuse chatgpt for generating erotic content, I've been doing so since day 1 of public access. I've paid for dozens of accounts in the past before they removed phone verification in account creation... At any point now I have 4 accounts signed into 2 browsers public/private windows, so I can juggle the rate limit. I receive messages and warnings and do on by email every day...

I have never seen that warning message, though. I think it is still largely automated, probably they are using the new model to better detect users going against the tos, and this is what is sent out. I don't have access to the new model.

That is why you put in special outlets that communicate with the PC over the power line encrypted.

I wonder if there is a name for the phenomenon where people do something that leads to negative consequences but they technically "did everything right".

The reason ZFS isn't the norm is because it historically was difficult to set up. Outside of NAS solutions, it's only since Ubuntu 20.04 it has been supported out of the box on any high profile customer facing OS. The reliability of the early versions was also questionable, with high zsys cpu usage and some times arcane commands needed to rebuild pools. Anecdotally, I've had to support lots of friends with zfs issues, never so with other file systems. The data always comes back, it's just that it needs petting.

Earlier, there used to be lot of fears around the license, with Torvalds advising against its use, both for that reason and for lack of maintainers. Now i believe that has been mostly ironed out and should be less of an issue.

Implementing a lisp in the type system would be fun, that's originally what this project was about until I got distracted with macros. Awesome projects like fortraith (https://github.com/Ashymad/fortraith) already exist, and even far more useful projects like dimensioned (compile time dimensional analysis using type level numbers) are inspiring. These examples, although cool, are probably a worse sign for krick for Rust compared with macro_rules being Turing complete.
Yeah but particulates are a lesser worry either way. I would be way more concerned about the harmful byproducts of propane/lpg combustion. It gives off large amounts of benzene and toluene which I think is a much bigger concern.

There is another (very rare) failure an ups protects against, and that's imbalance in the electricity.

You can get a spike (up or down, both can be destructive) if there is construction in your area and something happens with the electricity, or lightning hits a pylon close enough to your house.

First job I worked at had multiple servers die like that, roughly 10 yrs ago. it's the only time I've ever heard of such an issue however

To my understanding, an ups protects from such spikes as well, as it will die before letting your servers get damaged
Re-Redefining Observability
To be fair, it is a little misleading. "You can buy hearing aids with considerably lower functionality for $250" is more accurate. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. There's a LOT of people who can't afford high quality hearing aids (and the doctor assisted tuning) costing thousands of dollars. And if this getting _something_ into their hands, it has the potential to be a very big win.

Also, since it is an alternative (even if lower functionality), it has the potential to bring down the cost of other options, because that's a common outcome from competition.

The drawback is that you end up with an incomprehensible soup of classes on too many html elements, often redefining and redefining rules.

If you work in a highly componentized scenario that’s probably convenient. You don’t have to name things as you would if you were to keep a separate css ruleset and then tie it to the html elements via naming.

Very noisy compared to a disciplined, structured css though. But who has time for that.

In Spain we have a mining law that goes as follows: I have a plot of land, but I need a permission to mine it. But if mining company X suspects my plot can be mined, they can get permission to mine my plot before I do. They can't mine it if I don't let them, but if anyone is going to mine is the company.

IIRC, a few years ago some company called Odyssey that go around trying to unearth gold from antiquity, was reminded by the government that in Spain you can't do that, and every single gram of gold you find is property of the State. https://www.elmundo.es/cultura/2021/10/19/616e897de4d4d8e73f...

As someone who has gotten hit by a small car before, I would probably be toast if it was a truck. It just hit me in the legs.

While this is just a label, municipalities in California have been banning use of gas appliances in homes for new construction and significant renovations. It was recently overturned by a court decision, so the proponents do want this to be coercive.

I am not remotely convinced there is any need to do this. Code updates for improved ventilation in kitchens, okay, but you're going to have a hard time convincing my that my grilled cheese destroyed the environment significantly more with gas than electric.

I suspect these petty heavy-handed bureaucratic moves will make enemies out of regular people (try cooking with a round bottomed wok on electric) for no real gain. I'm increasingly feeling resentful of these sorts of things.

Agree. I do weekly backups, the backup NAS is only switched on and off 52 times a year. After 5-6 years the disks are probably close to new in term of usage vs disks that have been running continuously over that same period.

Which leads to another strategy which is to swap the primary and the backup after 5 years to get a good 10y out of the two NAS.
