There is no gotcha here, completely agreed. Having done content in the early web, it was very common for sites to buy sections and placements from each other as money was available, especially on competitors. It always irked editors at selling companies, but it happened nonetheless.
Since most people can’t run these LLMs locally, I wonder what a model would look like where we have hyper tuned models for specific purposes, IE a model for code, a model for prose, etc. you have a director model that interprets what downstream model should be used and then it runs that. That way you can run the model locally, without needing beefy GPUs. It’s a trade off of using more disk space vs needing more vram
I realise that and like the article. I was trying to convey in my response that devs should have these things in their toolkit not that you "did the wrong thing"[1] somehow by using treesitter for this.

This dispute continues to escalate and I can only conclude that both parties are acting like fools.
> maybe next time you should actually commit real violence. you could physically accost people

This just reinforces the idea that the 2 years are fully justified. Better stop it now.

> being convicted of battery in the UK only gets you up to a maximum of 6 months

If you keep committing batteries each weekend, I bet that the next time the situation will change.

All civilized societies agreed that recidivists should receive harsher sentences than one-time offenders. Here we have a criminal group --organized-- to deploy a chain of senseless attacks on a campaign of harassment of --innocent-- museums targeting artifacts of huge cultural value for western culture. Without showing any sign to stop or symptoms of regret. Legally there is no point into treating each case as an isolated act because it isn't. They are steps on a bigger crime scene.
It could also mean a lot of people are misattributing their utility.
For me Minix became bloated when they transitioned to supporting BSD userland and X11.

The considerable bloat detracted from the principle of using Minix to teach OS principles.
When the public is told to “trust the science”, it is no longer science and is now religion.
You're absolutely correct. At least Nokia Symbian phones had this feature.
Minitel was considerably more sophisticated. For a start, it was _two way_.
I lived in a state for half my life where a concealed carry permit was one page of paper and $100. I knew a lot of people who exercised that right.

I wouldn’t describe any of them as legal scholars. Their knowledge extended to two amendments and not much more. I wouldn’t describe many of them as confident or brave either.

They could angry post with the best of them though. Loved arguments.
>Talking to people doesn’t get one anywhere in today’s individualistic society.

If this has been your experience, that's a shame.

Talking to people has been the most effective tool in my dispute-resolution toolbox for decades. It still is.
How hard would it be to find and de-orbit a carbonaceous asteroid or two?
I think this is a big part of it. Workers would feel a lot more motivated to do more than just perform if they were given what they know they’re owed for their contribution.
Two siblings who are teachers, and a parent who was a teacher. What sort of white collar work can they get? Only example I can think of is a teacher who left after two years and got a job as a Business analyst at my place of employment (they were in their 20s). I've honestly never seen any other teacher do this. Teachers are very underpaid in the UK, but they do have great job security and pension security. Not to mention amazing holidays. Neither of my siblings would give this up.
> You care about supporting SAML because your customer wants your product to support SAML. This is sound reasoning on your part.

Is it just me or is anybody else going 'the fuck did I just read?' here? It's... incredibly condescending?
Agree that setting a volume limit on the speaker is the best solution. It gives the person operating the speaker immediate feedback: "It doesn't get any louder than this."

A program that turns the volume down once a speaker gets too loud is, functionally, the same thing? Assuming the feedback is instant, i.e. it instantly decreases the volume.

If there's a delay, however, I can see how a notification might be helpful, if only to alert people, "Hey, this isn't just magically getting quieter. There's a program we've set up that does it."
> I believe they are doing this mostly to get attention

And rage-bait gets more views. Protests designed for social media? Well played!
It was an interesting read, but it only says how much they spend on school vouchers. I didn’t see a spend for the standard public schools. They said the average voucher was 7k which is almost for sure lower than what public school is charging per student. Maybe they just need to add an income requirement to it and if you make too much no voucher.
Citizen science may be a direct response to these circumstances. When you think about it, it's basically just people who love science but _don't_ depend on it for income.
The poor complain; they always do, but that's just idle chatter. Our system brings rewards to all, at least to all who matter.
Good analysis. Not sure I agree that they are all linear in degredation. Anything that serves a queue has superlinear degredation; as the service rate goes over the arrival rate. We've hit that tipping point in the UK and waiting times for access to medical treatment have ballooned; in our case aggravated by the exit of GPs.

Kitchen staff also serve a queue, but I don't think that will have the same effect as people always have the option of eating at home.
> are some but not all free work a free software developer needs to do besides making the code public.

Nope. They don't need to do any of those things.
Don't worry, a lot of them are fudging their numbers too, it's no biggie

I’ve thought about making an AVR-8 emulator in AVR-8 assembly language that would let me run tiny programs out of RAM where the emulator (host) would use some of the registers and the others would be be available to the guest. This way you could upload a function over the serial port and run it. I figured it would be a good way to really master AVR-8 assembly.

The ESP32 has a huge amount of potential for emulating other things, see

What evidence for „AI models the human brain“ do you want? Isn’t a neural network pretty clearly a simplified model of the working of the human brain? What is there to prove?
Nursing seems like one where a feedback loop could happen. As others quit, your patient burden increases. The higher your patient burden, the more likely you are to make a mistake. Mistakes are often, as far as I understand, held against the nurse, so you could lose your license. At a certain point, the risk becomes too great and you're better off quitting.
Your take seems hyperbolic.

Until LLMs exceed the very best of human quality there will be human content in all forms of media. This claims follows because there is always (some) demand for top quality content.

I agree that many writers might use LLMs as a tool, but good writers who care about quality will ensure that such use is not detrimental (e.g., using the LLM to identify errors rather than having it draft copy).
That doesn't mean the fabricated netlist doesn't work. I'm not supporting Google by any means, but the test should be: Does it fabricate and function as intended? If not, clearly gibberish. If so, we now have computers building computers, which is one step closer to SkyNet. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
But even if some of the samples, with the terrible layouts, are actually functional, then we might learn something new. Maybe the gibberish design has reduced crosstalk, which would be fascinating.
They're still doing pick and place with millions of individual LEDs.
My partner worked as a nurse for almost a decade. In the end they were in psychiatry, most chill job you can get as a nurse if you don't want to go into management. No manual labor, only bringing people their meds and writing down what they did all day. It still sucked. The pay was bad and the night-shifts and constantly covering for sick coworkers took their toll.

In the end they switched to a study assistant job. Better pay and they can work whenever they like, even from home for half of the tasks.
1. Because nobody in aerospace globally and in the history of humanity never did this before as far as I know.
2. Because many people not familiar with the exact application/industry (guilty) would assume that safety critical machines need to pass safety critical software tests/standards/languages. Javascript is definitely not known to fall in that category.
3. My main reason for thinking it was a joke when I first read it: I personally hate touchscreens (I actually use a phone with a physical keyboard on it). I would hate a touchscreen in a car, let alone a spacecraft. Let alone when I'm wearing a space-suit with massive gloves where touching the wrong button could maybe be life/death in the worse case or SUPER annoying in the best case.
> LLM proponents seem unwilling to accept that we comprehend the words we speak/write in a way that LLMs are not capable of doing.

Maybe their salary depends on them not understanding it.
I've found myself staring at this in-progress train-wreck of a spat in the past 24/48 hours. Honestly, the childish tone of @matt's posts on this, the silly C&D from WPE, all show real immaturity from people and companies that should know better.
> The only solution will be to raise compensation for teachers and bring labor into the industry and, well, the failure to raise teaching salaries is maybe the single greatest of example of the divergence between what people publicly support and what they actually vote for.

It's hard to read sentences like that and wonder "what more do you want?" Yes teachers should get paid more. The average teacher in the SFUSD gets paid ~$84K, which is clearly not enough for the city. But the district has an annual budget of 1.3 billion dollars for less than 50K students. Maybe the district should spend more of the money it already has on teacher salaries instead of wasting money and time on stupid / mismanaged projects[1][2][3].

I don't think Derek Lowe is frustrated that "science is full of fraud", this is likely editorialization on your part. It seems that it stems specifically from Masliah, who is common across all papers in the dossier. Granted, Masliah appears to be prolific, so this is admittedly a large issue in the peer review and verification structure in this field.

To put this into context though:

Let's begin by supposing that fraud exists in all ventures where people stand to gain, which I don't think is controversial at all, especially not in this comment section.

In light of this assumption the fact that this all came out in the first place is proof that being a luminary does not make you immune from investigation. That this happens 'over and over again' simply means that eventually we catching this fraud. The fact that the scientific community is constantly trying to reproduce and verify is why these become public in the first place.

So on the contrary, it's not that nothing ever happens or nothing ever improves. There will be articles like this one in twenty years because there will still be fraudsters in twenty years, and there will still be scientists working to verify their work.
I am one of the creators of Cuttle. It stems from my research building direct manipulation + programming environments like http://recursivedrawing.com/ and http://aprt.us/

From a programmer's perspective, you can think of Cuttle as a direct manipulation vector editor (like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator) that can be driven with parameters and JS code where you need it.

Unlike my previous research projects, this is a commercial startup mostly catering to laser cutting small businesses, though you can use it for anything where you want a 2D vector editor + some programmatic capabilities.

I'll try to answer questions that come up in this HN thread.

Thank you for sharing your work Hannah! Very cool stuff!

I have been telling my mum the same thing and she don't listen. Googling for reviews used to work very well to like 3-10 years ago. I don't speak English nativly, and I suspect that it worked better in my native tongue for way longer then English. It is like it takes time for it to sink in for people, when they are trusting a process or institution.

I wanted to buy a ultra-sonic cleaner for my garage/workshop. I need it to clean out parts. I searched for reviews on Youtube, and I noticed that the big "ultrasonic cleaner on Amazon" manufacturer Vev[*123]or seem to more or less have donated a cleaner to about every workshop genre Youtuber in the last 1 to 3 years. Or paid them to shill. Dunno.

I mean I was flabbergasted to the extent of the manipulation. I didn't think it was this bad. And I did end up buying their cleaner ...

*123 I just don't wanted to SEO help them.
Only fix I can see is making scientific fraud criminal. But it has to be straight fraud and not just bad science.

I can't imagine any other vocation where you can take public and private money, then cheat the stakeholders into thinking they got what they payed for, only to just walk away from it all when you are found out. Picture a contractor claiming to have build a high-rise for a developer, doctored photos of it, and then just go oops moneys all gone with no consequences when the empty lot is discovered years later.
yep, my parents took my sister & I to Florida. My mother went with my sister to Disney World. I didn't go, I stayed back at the place with my father & we played marbles. I got to see a turtle run down a hill. Great time. Thankfully they knew amusement parks weren't of interest to me already from when we'd gone to Universal Studios & I mostly remember sitting on a bench

TFA is about a person who literally faked the observations. Everyone on this sub is trying to shoehorn in their preferred view of "how to fix science" when the problem here has nothing to do with any of it.
Fair enough. I had a conversation with one utility that was fine with transformers popping (even if preventable) because a popped transformer becomes a capitalizable expense.

You may not. Doesn't mean the same preference applies to everyone else in the world.
I mainly drank around UCL in bloomsbury and down at the Princess Louise near high holborn. Cosy snugs and a refurbished Victorian ambiance in the early 80s.

My parents drank around Shepherd's Bush in the 50s and 60s and "the goons" used to refine their schtik in the pub. Fun times!
IMO, it's a net decrease, because past owners shouldn't be able to bind future owners. The fact that it's your past self binding your future self, rather than the usual case of the manufacturer binding the end-user, is irrelevant.

Will that happen in 1,2,5,10 or never years?
Wouldn’t science in total be impossible to fund if this argument were true? What advantage does Sweden have from doing science and publishing if everyone else gets to use it and they could just wait for someone else to do it? If this was how it worked, wouldn’t every scientist work in secret and never publish anything?

Who is buying this absolute nonsense?! Sam Altman is the biggest conman of the last century.
The originator explicitly said that 'any engineering book' would contain these references, thus it would seem that this was at least a widespread belief among physicists and engineers at the time. Do you have any example?

Again, you and the original poster seem to have this understanding that scientists and engineers from the mid 1800s to early 1900s are not to be trusted. I think that this assertion should be backed by considerable evidence, and that burden is of course mostly on you

I don't dispute that there were doctors applying electricity and/or magnetism to the body in an "un"-rigorous manner, but is there documentation that suggests that the scientists at the time had come to the conclusion that it worked?

Also notably, Whittaker's work was a 'loser'. I chose it specifically for this purpose. I had read parts of it previously because it was a 'loser' as he chose to dispute Einstein's contributions to special relativity.

Even on a road trip, not every charging stop is a meal stop. It's basically every other or even every 3rd charging stop. If it's a charging stop that I won't be eating at, I'd rather it be somewhere with a guaranteed restroom.

I had one time during COVID I was on a trip and had to charge at like 10:30 PM. All the fast food places nearby were drive-through only. There was a Safeway, but apparently they closed their bathrooms at 10 PM. I was just lucky I didn't have to go urgently and was able to hold it until I got to my hotel an hour later.
With API latency there’s a zero percent chance this program responds instantly. According to the README it polls the volume setting every CHECK_INTERVAL seconds. It’s not like this program hooks the volume input event and blocks anything over the max, which is what the actual Sonos setting does.
