I tried that with another model not that long ago and it didn't help. It listed the right letters, then turned "strawberry" into "strawbbery", and then listed two r's.

Even if these models did have a concept of the letters that make up their tokens, the problem still exists. We catch these mistakes and we can work around them by altering the question until they answer correctly because we can easily see how wrong the output is, but if we fix that particular problem, we don't know if these models are correct in the more complex use cases.

In scenarios where people use these models for actual useful work, we don't alter our queries to make sure we get the correct answer. If they can't answer the question when asked normally, the models can't be trusted.
When I worked for the U.S. Forest Service I strongly believed in expanding wilderness designations in the United States. There's something so compelling about the idea of supporting and conserving wild and untrammeled landscapes. I'd hazard that most Americans have never heard of the Wilderness Act of 1964 and think of the term "wilderness" as a vague description of a landscape characteristic rather than a rigid set of legal protections, and I bet that even fewer understand the scope of how many acres of land fall under these protections. It can be intoxicating to be in the know, and there are few things as satisfying as disappearing into the backcountry for a week or two and truly finding refuge from modern life.

But, the author is fundamentally correct about the relationship between humans and natural areas. The untrammeled nature of officially designated wilderness areas is a myth. The degree of trammeling of course varies by area and over time, but it's there no matter where you look. To the extent that we continue to put stock in this concept of "untrammeled by man", we do a disservice to the history and continued existence of indigenous Americans. Also, we needlessly hamstring our own management actions which compound into real threats on the very thing the act set out to protect. Increasingly I think to myself "no more wilderness" and advocate for proposed wilderness study areas to have a management designation more closely aligned with their intended use: National Recreation Areas.
It's fantastic! Thanks for the great work.

One equivalent of motivated reasoning would be confirmation marketing or motivated consumer reasoning, where messages/information align with the pre-existing beliefs, desires, or emotions of the target audience, leading them to favor a particular brand or product, presidential candidate or CEO.

My only problem with all this is how some conspiracies are simply oligarchical coordination and consensus, use/abuse of structural power, institutional capture, soft power manipulation, systemic social engineering and the like and while there not being enough energy behind educating people on these topics is entirely a fault of people like me and journalists, I feel like engineers owe it to themselves to build tools and platforms that target & track these "entanglements", entirely for the fun of the game & to strengthen the upper ranks.

I don't accept the upper ranks to be 'Elite'. An Elite doesn't break with systems, bankruptcy or crashes in the stock markets. So if the people can make the game harder for them, maybe our neo-evolution will select the fittest in the game, rather than the most corrupt, depraved, oppressive, exploitative, malignant ...

Can anyone explain how this makes any business sense? Doesn't Uber have a self-driving business that competes directly with Waymo? Wasn't one of Uber's early engineering motivations for running on-prem infrastructure (instead of cloud) to avoid being cut off from GCP should Google decide to start competing? And now Uber is directly partnering with Google to offer a Google service through their platform?

Really? You think it's bad that the government is explicit in its rules?

I think that's a good thing. I'd rather have it be clear to all parties what is acceptable and what isn't, rather that a murky legal framework where you never know if you're breaking the law.
Answering simple computational questions correctly is not almost irrelevant.
I think there's significant overlap in both.

Most OF content is not personalized. It might be consumed solo, but it's produced for a wider distribution. On the concert side, I feel there's a similar situation where you can pay a little to get the same experience as everyone else, or you can pay a lot to get VIP passes and a personalized experience.

Also, both situations are strongly dependent on the size of the fanbase. You're not going to get a personalized show from Taylor Swift or Bella Thorne, but smaller musicians and OF performers target that vibe exclusively.

You're certainly not alone in resisting hearing aids. My dad just got some from Costco (most affordable) and really likes them. He probably waited 5-10 years too long.

My father-in-law however doesn't like hearing aids because he feels they amplify things he doesn't want to hear. Granted he's never been fitted to actual hearing aids. I understand his concern, but he's told me multiple times his hearing loss leaves him isolated during conversation. He told me one night that he has a lot to say, but can't hear so he spends a lot of time just smiling. It makes me sad that his pride (and stubbornness?) is causing him this stress.
It's kinda hilarious because if a movie had the AI start giving out an answer and then mid-way censor itself I would call the movie bad. Truth is stranger than fiction I suppose.
This is huge. Previously if you were hard of hearing, a pair of hearing aids could cost upwards of $2,000. Now Apple just brought that price down to ~$250.

Even if you use them everyday and assume a shelf life of 1.5yrs (which is roughly mine and others' experience with AirPods), you would be replacing your Airpods for 12 years before the cost caught up with a single pair of hearing aids.

Even if you think Airpods are not on the same bar as regular hearing aids, this will certainly help depress market prices. Every manufacturer will probably start releasing sub $1000 hearing aids just to not get destroyed by Apple.
It can, but does it, with high probability?

Ask HN: Anyone else get Twilio email about Evolve Cellular Network?
Got this yesterday and I'm not quite sure how to gauge what the actual impact is. I don't see anyone else online posting so maybe we are a small group of affected businesses?

-----------------------------------------------

Dear Twilio customer,

You are receiving this email because you have been sending SMS traffic over the Evolve Cellular network in the US.

What do you need to know?

This incident is impacting all messages sent to the Evolve Cellular network in the US, causing rejections on SMS submissions.

The problem is related to the Evolve Cellular Network Operator’s platform, where on August 16th, 2024, a network change impacted the A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging service.

The Evolve Cellular Network Operator is actively working to resolve the problem. They expect a service interruption between1 to 3 months.

We are in constant communication with the Evolve Cellular Network Operator for additional updates as they occur.

What do you need to do?

No action is required from your side.

We apologize for any inconvenience this incident may cause you and your customers. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Team Twilio
Even with this obfuscation, it is still more fair to its creators than most other platforms. It's just not quite the co-op structure their marketing makes it out to be, which is indeed disingenuous (IMO).
Entirely possible. I did not try to test systematically or quantitatively, but it's been a recurring easy "demo" case I've used with releases since 3.5-turbo.

The super verbose chain-of-reasoning that o1 does seems very well suited to logic puzzles as well, so I expected it to do reasonably well. As with many other LLM topics, though, the framing of the evaluation (or the templating of the prompt) can impact the results enormously.
It's also at least as expensive as more advanced machines you can buy already-assembled.

If this was half the price, I might be interested. But if I wanted a coffee maker with open source control, I'd probably just hack an existing cheaper product. And I'm someone who absolutely loves assembling stuff from kits!

Heck, I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already got Doom running on a Sage.
It is also the name of a mountain in the Himalayas which I believe is the most familiar meaning to Americans.
That's not reality though. Sure, you could argue that this is how a government should work, but everything is always about improving the economy first
This is obviously true but one of the biggest privileges of management is being able to deny this specific bit of reality

Over my thirty some years of software development, I've witnessed many new entrants to the field not being aware of certain fundamentals learned long ago. I would theorize it's going to become more and more likely as patience for acquiring a deeper understanding, in general, among engineers I work with now seems to be at an all time low. Now-a-days it seems the move fast and break things mentality has taken over.
The next paragraph makes a slightly stronger statement about its constant-time'ness:

> Our implementations of x/Ed25519 are designed with constant time in mind. They perform exactly the same sequence of basic CPU instructions regardless of the input values, and they avoid any CPU instructions that might have data-dependent timing.
Not sure I follow, can expand on that? I gave a presentation on it recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuSpMvVU7j4 which goes over demos and implementation details if you are interested in those topics.

100% best comment in this thread.

With k8s you get a way of saying 'WHAT YOU WANT' without 'HOW TO DO IT', and this is applies not only to the actual infra aspect, but the people maintaining it too. Any cloud platform and devops worth their salt can maintain a k8s system. Good luck finding someone to understand what that 'custom Naemon' plugin is doing.

Our brains love new things. Whenever we see or experience something new, they release dopamine that makes us feel good. That’s why we enjoy keeping up with the latest news, events, or technology. It’s part of being human, and it won’t change.

With each new wave of technology, things improve, even if they look the same on the outside. For example, today’s huge online stores weren’t possible 10 or 15 years ago. Innovations, like better system design and separating different parts of a website’s function, made this possible. New frontend tools pushed content systems to be more focused on APIs, leading to headless CMS platforms (Contentful, Strapi, etc).

I believe the next big change will be about using less energy when browsing the web. This could lead to new tools, hosting technologies, or apps. While websites might still look similar, the experience will keep getting better in small, meaningful ways. Another cycle of improvement is just around the corner.
This is something we've been grappeling with on my team. Many of the researchers in the org want to try all these reasoning techniques to increase performance, and my team keeps pushing back that we don't actually need that extra performance- we just want to decrease latency and cost.

>When I last looked into Lean, I was highly unimpressed, even for doing math proofs. There's no way I'd invest into as a general-purpose language.

Can you elaborate? I am using Lean as a general-purpose language writing simple little programs, so I have not encountered the deeper parts of the runtime etc. I'd like to see some criticism/different perspectives from more experienced people.
This may be accurate. I wonder if there's enough energy in the world for this endeavour.
I would. I have a different relation to sexuality and intimacy. Never say never to love, but it certainly wouldn't help.

> There has been criticism. Journalist Joel Hruska writing in ExtremeTech in 2020 said "there is no such thing as Huang's Law", calling it an "illusion" that rests on the gains made possible by Moore's law; and that it is too soon to determine a law exists.[9] The research nonprofit Epoch has found that, between 2006 and 2021, GPU price performance (in terms of FLOPS/$) has tended to double approximately every 2.5 years, much slower than predicted by Huang's law

Regardless, there is a ceiling to how fast hardware can be. Can’t just double forever.
Try to compete when no single shop allows to buy a machine with preinstalled Linux. Even then, Linux has 4% of market or so.
Yet humans have fared mostly fine as a whole with even a moderate level of those things, legal or not, consistently happening throughout history and cultures. The biggest problem we have is when these vices are driven underground so the vice itself is conflated with the additional risk of having to put one’s self in a dangerous situation to engage with it.

Looking at western culture (the only one I feel confident speaking about), we are still bound by puritanical values that were imposed as control mechanisms but managed to sneak their way into a set of cultural norms as a moral code despite their actual value to us not being evaluated and actively selected.
One example is FAA balking at certifying evtols for years after they started to emerge. They're dangerous but could allow more accessible rescue options for people already in a dangerous survival situation, or need a fast ride to a hospital.

Having a medical condition isn't a moral failing; observing said medical conditions and advocating for providing help with potentially malfunctioning reward centers leading to lower agency and desired individual outcome doesn't strike me as "being a Nazi.".

There must be a billion corporations out there. What % can kill customers on the scale of Boeing and get away with it?

A tiny number.

And for the ones that can, it’s likely that there are strong ties to the same government that’s supposed to prosecute them. For Boeing, there are significant financial and contractual ties to the US government.

Having a steady stream of ultra-reliable government cash surely reminds you of a state department?
While I do like the idea of requiring vendors to open-source their IP when support for a product ends, I don't think it's practical. For example, the iPhone X is out of the support window for iOS updates, does that mean Apple should be required to open-source the first version it shipped with (11) or the latest version they supported for it (16)?

In either case, these unsupported iOS versions share a lot of code with newer versions, that are still supported, and also with entirely unrelated products like MacOS, iPadOS, etc. So should Apple only be required to open-source only code that's no longer used in any version of their active products? Should they only open-source the drivers and unlock the bootloader so a third party OS can be made to work on it?
