I loosely suspect too many people are jumping into LLMs and I assume real research is being strangled. But to be honest all of the practical things I have seen such as by Mr Goertzel are painfully complex very few can really get into.

Could you learn everything needed to become fully human simply by reading books and listening to conversations? Of course not. You'd have no first person experience of any of the physical experiences that arise from being an embodied agent. Until those (multitude of) lessons can be learned by LLMs, they will remain mere echos of what it is to be human, much less superhuman.

The amount of gentrification in the Mission varies a lot based on where you go.

I volunteer on 24th st. weekly, something I've been doing since 2019. The crowd at the volunteering is mostly immigrants. I am white, native English speaker but I speak decent Spanish.

It's mind boggling to me sometimes how the two communities exist in nearly the same space but don't often overlap. I remember one time I went into a restaurant and they engaged with me in Spanish right off the bat, we never switched to English, I got a table to dine-in and they waited on me and it felt pretty much like dining at a restaurant like in travels I've had in central America... A few months later I brought a friend to the same place and I ended up getting a 100% gringo restaurant experience.

Another place down the street and the cashier is like some very pale upper midwest looking hipstery guy who looks "whiter than me", and it felt like a totally different world, one that didn't overlap at all with description above.
Gambling has zero societal upsides. We pretend sometimes it does, but it's always trading a limited benefit for a substantial harm.

Sports Betting was supposed to create jobs, and it did. But for every job created, several other people's finances were ruined. The vast majority of this revenue is going straight to the people at the top, so it doesn't even create all that many jobs.

Likewise, the lottery is one of the most insidious parts of our society. We dangle the carrot of unfathomable wealth in front of people, and let them spill huge amounts of money into a system that is so unlikely to produce a win that one can realistically conclude that it is a 0% chance. We act like it's beneficial because it funds things like scholarships, but those things could just be offered using public funds without destroying countless lives with gambling. In fact, if we just funded those scholarship with public funds, the impact to taxpayers would be substantially less than the impact on gamblers.

Even when someone eventually wins a huge jackpot, there are tons of stories about how those wins ended up hurting, or in some cases even killing, the recipient. The actual reward of winning isn't what people think it is, because most people who gamble enough to have a chance at winning are not prepared at all to handle that windfall appropriately.

The price paid for gambling is always too high, and dangling immense unearned wealth just serves to bait lower-income Americans into flushing their limited income down the drain in hope of a free ride.

Whatever notion people have about individual responsibility doesn't apply here. This form of exploitation is well understood, and it should not be legal to deceive people this way. The vast majority of gamblers don't understand the math behind it, and vastly overestimate their odds.

I've done my share of casual gambling, and personally understand that it can be a form of entertainment that can be enjoyed responsibly. Unfortunately, that is like saying that you've used cocaine a few times without overdosing or getting addicted: you're the exception, not the rule.

This quote by John Nicoll is very poignant:

“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”

Have we not pointed telescopes into space and seen the way light bends around a black hole? I guess in a way it's true that nobody has conclusively "seen" one (since they don't emit light), but by that logic nobody has conclusively seen the hole in the middle of a donut either.

I'm just going to address the elephant in the room: Twitter, before Elon's takeover, was a crypto-obsessed political echo chamber. You cannot get an "alternative" to it because people refuse to acknowledge that Twitter was never all that great in the first place. You can never go home, as they say, and that applies to old versions of social media just as well. You will never, ever have an alternative where all your friends and role-models post on the same network. It just doesn't happen, ever. Not with Twitter, and not with a Twitter alternative - your expectations aren't realistic, and so you're bound to be disappointed until your outlook changes.

If you're willing to adjust your expectations and use a smaller network, you can still enjoy social media. You just have to stop treating it as an attention-stealing exercise where you're in competition with your peers to get noticed by "the world". Platforms like Mastodon are great, as long as you don't rely on likes and reposts for dopamine.
Such an architecture could be implemented, it could use one token per letter, or one token per word, instead of the typical 0.75 per word we see.

The choice just comes with trade-offs in memory usage, compute, and effectiveness of the model in various scenarios.

So what we ended up with was a pragmatic/engineering decision rather than a theoretical or fundamental constraint.
A good thing!

I noticed that there is another much-used orbit apart from the round, earth-centered Geostationary Orbit, which is smaller, more elliptical, off-axis and tilted.

It may be the Molniya Orbit [0] which is "is a type of satellite orbit designed to provide communications and remote sensing coverage over high latitudes [...] The name comes from the Molniya satellites, a series of Soviet/Russian civilian and military communications satellites which have used this type of orbit since the mid-1960s."

Can anyone confirm this?

It appears to be full of JSC Vimpel satellites, which is "a Russian defense industry leader" [1], but from randomly clicking on the objects many are just debris.

We used candle[0], which uses cudarc and the metal crate under the hood. That means we run on nvidia hardware in production and can test locally on macbooks with smaller models.

I would certainly like to use non nvidia hardware but at this point it's not a priority. The subset of tensor operations needed to run the forward pass of LLMs isn't as large as you'd think though.

LLMs can clearly solve problems that computers up to now couldn't. They can't solve all problems and this should definitely be a cautionary note to anyone who wants to use them as an artificial general intelligence, but this take seems no different to someone looking at a punchcard computer and going, it can't even recognize typos or categorize images, what good is this? We've already had human computers who can do everything these can do, and can recognize images and notice typos

Federal government provides a lot of mandates, but none of the funding. Obviously, this will lead to arbitrage opportunities within the system that result in goals other than fulfilling the mandates for the people participating in the system.

> I'm assuming such a drug would have drastic drawbacks in terms of how Autistic people think. Similar to other drugs that address mental state, they might not feel like themselves.

Knowing how I think, and how I use knowledge, I'm not sure that I'd be better at anything if a drug altered my ability to think in detail. Even if something made me non-autistic like magic, I have a lifetime of autistic knowledge that is structured differently than what a non-autistic brain would need. I could have to learn everything all over again if I were to become unable to comprehend/assemble the logical building blocks that I normally use to do everything.

So I have to assume the drug doesn't actually attempt to treat the core defining trait of autism and only attempts to treat some of the side effects.

As far as I'm aware, even though autism is a spectrum, every brain that is autistic has a particularly distinctive redistribution of connections, which is what results in basically everything. This redistribution is likely what results in the overly logical/analytical thinking (whether it's bottom-up or top-down), although I don't think anyone's been able to prove or disprove that, it's just a correlation.

That's true but there's also a countervailing dilution effect. Hard to know exactly where those two lines intersect.
Do you know how research and development works?
Literally this. The reason I like night skies and tall heights is that they serve as a grounding rod of sorts, a reminder that I am not the whole, and the whole is not me. That beyond a single degree of separation, I cannot hope to reliably guide the lives of others. No system exists independent of others, nobody lives in a vacuum or on an island, and everything we do is of monumental import to someone else’s existence even if neither party realizes it.

To assume the intellect of others is folly when designing solutions or systems. Instead, a more reliable and scalable indicator of outcomes are actions, not words, and that is something we can shape or control with sufficient stimuli.

Or to be more blunt: we should cease assuming that if we enlighten others that the world will be better, and instead build a better world absent the requirement for enlightenment.

Well, you already can't nuke someone. You can't make and release a biological weapon. It's probably illegal to turn the whole world into paperclips.

It did! How many R's do you think are in "strawberry"? I get 3, and it got 3. I'm with the LLM.

...oh, you disagree with its intermediate reasoning? You think it should follow a series of logical steps that are each individually correct, rather than pulling wildly incorrect intermediate steps out of its butt and synthesizing them together in the end into a coherent answer that happens to be correct?

But that's what an LLM is! Why complain about an LLM being an (unusually transparent) LLM?

I think this example serves as a beautiful illustration of how LLMs work, and are supposed to work—even if the correspondence is inexact between (1) incorrect and irrelevant-to-us intermediate steps and (2) internal matrix multiplications that represent incorrect or invalid logic. The correspondence is inexact and probably mostly figurative, but it's still a great example of how internal nonsense can still lead to externally "correct" answers. ("Nonsense" is underselling the complex and highly sophisticated internal state that leads to "correct" answers a stunningly high percentage of the time; I'm just trying to distinguish it from formal logic or the type of reasoning that we think we do and sometimes actually do. And would do, in this example problem.)

> Identity in React has always relied on vDOM structure or `key` which was introduced in React 0.4.0

You are correct. But so, I believe, was I. Apologies for being unclear. vDOM structure is determined based on the return values from render functions. As opposed to the line of code where elements are created. So if you have `const cmp = <Comp />` in a render function, it doesn't have an identity yet. As you note, that will be determined later, sometime after this render function returns. It might not have a state at all. It might even have multiple states. If the current rendering is an update, `cmp` might be a mount instead.

All these determinations are made based on the content (structure and key attributes) of the assembled vDOM and the reconciliation heuristics.

Please don't use words like "hoover" in relation to data, it makes no sense.

This reasoning goes against the Right to Delegate [1]. It doesn't matter if you're remembering it using your brain, a notebook, an assistive tool, or Screenpipe. You're just remembering it.

Whether or not you would tell another person these details is another matter altogether, and has no relation to Screenpipe, which does not, from my knowledge, republish your information anywhere else automatically.

In summary: we're talking about an auto-remembering tool here. Your example talks about repeating certain sensitive details. There is no relation between your example and the topic on hand.

"But isn't it the same? You're repeating the information to Screenpipe!"

In the context of your example, I consider "repeating" to be "repeating to a person". See:

> A well-meaning friend or coworker might never consider telling another person these personal details, but not think twice about it when enabling a service like this.

"Another person". Just as you would not think twice about repeating such data to a notebook (e.g. maybe you have bad memory), you also would not think twice about repeating such data to Screenpipe.

There are some exceptions, such as confidential information, where you would not be allowed to write things down on a notebook. In those cases, yes, you should not use Screenpipe. But the IBS example does not cover that; a friend, in my experience, generally does not expect such levels of secrecy unless they explicitly request so (e.g. "Hey, turn off your computer for a while/Hey, don't bring any phones to my house. We need to talk.").

"What about phone recording laws?"

Yeah, you're right. That throws a wrench in my argument that automated remembering has no difference to manual remembering. I could say that there ought to be no difference, but you're right that this isn't necessarily the case.

I could then argue that this only applies to phone calls, and perhaps video calls. For example, there's no need to get the consent of the people around you in public when you record or take photos, as long as you're not harassing someone.

But then this just becomes a legal question (what is) rather than a moral one (what ought to be).

Ask HN: How to properly sell a premium domain?
With the introduction of the '.now' top level domain, I bought some domains that i think would be worth a decent amount of money. Instead of just posting them on my registrar's marketplace for some made up sum (my registrar doesn't offer auctions) is there a better way to go about this?

- How can i accurately price them?

- Do i "market" them or will potential buyers just find me?

- Do i just make a "For Sale" holding page with my contact info and wait for someone to reach out?

- Is there some third party that can do all of the above for me?

- etc...

Can someone who has gone through a similar process shed some light on what to look out for?
