What's the differentiation among all of these smaller niche browsers? Can't we escape sameness?

More context: It's not that I don't care about privacy, I do. I'm just fine with some defaults. I don't need (or want) something like Tails. There's some level of privacy that becomes unwieldy to manage.

The problem is most stimulants subtly fuck with your reward and risk processing circuitry, and you don't tend to even realize it until you get clean for a hot minute, which is hard if you've been on a high dose. Especially if you don't know what you're in for, and doubly so if you've been on the same dosage for a long time.

Can you blame them? If you drive through farm country you see crazy Trump effigies everywhere and Trump/Vance signs in every yard.

So it's difficult to know that these people don't care about Trump at all and think he is just as ridiculous as you do. They just hate the Democrats so much that they will do anything they can to stop them. The reasons are numerous and valid, btw.
We already have specialised hardware for register mapping (which could be done in software, by the compiler, but generally isn't) and resolving instruction dependency graphs (which again, could be done by a compiler). Mapping interrupts to a hardware priority level feels like the same sort of task, to me.
>If an action that hurts the stock short-term but will help int he long-term needs to be performed why would you as an investor enact it or even stay for the ride?

Yes and this underpins what most consider the disgusting trait of being excessively greedy, not just executives, doctors specialties like dermatology, anything.

The doctor who wants the ultra high paying medical specialty sometimes cares nothing about becoming rich. Fear. Fear of being crushed by all that student debt. Doing everything possible to avoid that. Planning to start a family, fear of homeless, etc. Fear of being unable to retire. Excess, irrational fear. Then, it passes, and now we have what seems in retrospect, simply a greedy bastard with now an excessive amount of money.

Same with executives, the thought may not be "let me cheese short term gains as hard as possible" but "let me hedge against short term losses as much as possible".

Aggression from sheer greed is human human thought modality. Predatory. Aggression when cornered, anxiety / fear response, arguably a more vicious and nasty aggression, is another very much different type of aggression because it is not predatory. The difference is predatory feels more voluntary and fear is about whether I should risk being super aggressive or not. In defense-of-self aggression, fear as already there plenty, so a person can do about any hyper aggressive evil thing in the name of defending from a perceived threat - such as lay off half the work force, destroy customer relationships, etc. In this way a good leader must have a steady hand and outlook with regards to fear.

I'm sure these anecdotes are true. But is it true because this behaviour is immutable or is it because there has been no serious attempt to change it? For instance why not teach how to be healthy in primary school and in society generally? The US and other countries have a high incidence of Type 2 diabetes largely because of over consumption of sugar. This is a social issue. I saw this very clearly when I took my family to the US for three months many years ago and we visited one om my colleagues for Thanksgiving. Our host's wife was astonished when my children asked for a drink of water, she asked them several times if they would not prefer a sweet fizzy drink. But my children were thirsty and knew that water was the best remedy.
Good faith debating is when you actually try to honestly consider and understand the other side's point. Not when you make dismissive blanket (and factually incorrect) statements while refusing to rationally engage with the counter-arguments.

Tone is generally completely independent of good faith.

Also, In The Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick. It is a non-fiction account of the wreck of the Essex, a Nantucket whaler, that was inexplicably "stove by a whale", and lost at sea - an unheard of occurrence at the time. The crew was forced to survive in open boats for weeks, and resorted to cannibalism.

This was the story that inspired Melville to write Moby Dick.

The book is both a survival story and an investigation of the Nantucket whaling industry and whaling in general, as well as the social and economic background.

Profitable? None. For fun? Well, I made a stupid app for myself (showing all routes I’ve walked through in my city, that gets data from HealthKit), got pressured by friends to share my walking progress in a local subreddit which went semi viral, and people started asking what app I was using.

I had absolutely zero intentions to market it, but seems like there was a niche need as other apps weren’t making it simple for the feature I was looking for. Gives you dopamine hits when you can see others using the app, especially when you know you’re doing it just for fun and no money is involved.

Apple’s paper isn’t testing LLM reasoning.

It’s testing the LLM’s social awareness — and their proclivity to assume good faith but errors in the input, rather than comprehend the adversarial nature of math tests. My own testing indicates that the failures disappear if you warn 4o there may be deceptive language and 4o mini can spot its errors if prompted it was deceived.

It’s surprisingly hard to separate entities from their context — both in psychology and LLM testing.
That's even more confusing. There's an =, I expect an assignment to happen. Maybe we just leave this one alone.
Yes, but go on taking the logical steps: why are the regulators in bed with so many of the major funds?

You very quickly boil it down to morality and ethics.

Americans have a broken ethics code that says the free market magically solves the need for anyone to be a good person - if someone's a selfish ass, the free market and 'competition' will magically fix it.

Therefore I can be in bed with whoever I like, whenever I like - both literally and figuratively.

Life wasn't too bad as long as Americans believed in religions and this extremely stupid free market idea was balanced by an extremely stupid idea of God that wants you to be 'good'.

Now that Americans are unconstrained by anything and further emboldened by extremely stupid ideas of magical free markets - they're well on their way to societal collapse.

This is why Jordan Peterson is trying to bring God back - he knows Americans are a collapsing, degenerate culture. It's the wrong move and it won't work but he (unlike 99% of people) at least understands the root the problem. Oh well.

I wouldn't mind it too much because stupid societies full of stupid people should and do inevitably collapse but these stupid people have nuclear weapons. The way it's going - we will have nuclear war.

ps. most other cultures are also extremely stupid (they just have a different set of extremely stupid ideas). Americans just happen to have become the world ruler so they're of greater interest.

Apple's study suggested a 0.3% drop in benchmark results for GPT-4o from fuzzying the prompts, which to me really means no drop and actually shows the benchmark results are more robust than I'd previously expect.

It also only looked at GPT-4o, ignoring the allegedly more expensive GPT-4.

Finally, I can't help but notice the irony of an article about LLMs that likes to "delve" into "crucial" points "to ensure"... and repeatedly defines the "large language models (LLMs)" acronym from the very first paragraph to the conclusion. It also claims the study was led by Mehrdad Farajtabar when he's listed as the sixth and last author on the actual pre-print: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05229

The risks vary with speed. At 30mph a deer will be injured and damage your car, and you might have to call animal control to find the deer if it was able to get away. At 45mph there is a good chance the deer will impact your windshield. If it breaks through, that's how people die in animal collisions. They get kicked to death by a frantic, panicked, injured animal.

> A frequent coda to "all models are wrong" is that "all models are wrong (but some are useful)," which emphasizes the proper framing of recognizing map–territory differences—that is, how and why they are important, what to do about them, and how to live with them properly. The point is not that all maps are useless; rather, the point is simply to maintain critical thinking about the discrepancies: whether or not they are either negligible or significant in each context, how to reduce them (thus iterating a map, or any other model, to become a better version of itself), and so on.

I completely agree on that being an absurd (and potentially bad faith) notion right now.

I am just convinced that before long synthetic voices will emerge that won't be dismissed just as easily as it is possible right now.

If the model speaks with coherence and a notion of self-perseverance directed at a bounded system it can identify with, it will have to be listened to, consciousness discussion be damned.
You'd be surprised. There are a lot of people out there (and here) who think that unilaterally-declared LLM licenses can dictate what they are allowed to do with the output. Hell, a lot of people think that LLM's can be copyrightable. Copyright law is very clear about the conditions required for copyright protection, and LLMs fail to satisfy at least two. Even failing one is sufficient (see the Smiling monkey case).

Yep.

The Go build system runs under your current architecture, cross-compiling tests to your target architecture.

Then, the Go test runner also runs under your current architecture, orchestrating running your cross compiled test binaries.

Since you registered to run cross-compiled binaries under QEMU, those test binaries magically run through QEMU.

The Go test runner collects test results, and reports back to you.

The first run might be slowish, as the Go compiler needs to cross compile the standard library and all your dependencies to your target platform. But once that's done and cached, and if your tests are fast, the edit-test cycle becomes pretty quick.

In my experience, it's not really about the individual pieces of information, it's more about being able to build a more complete profile of someone. Most verification is built on the number of factors to build a trust score and having something with a picture, address, and additional ID number would give them another factor. That might be enough to put them over whatever threshold they need to open a bank account, credit card, loan, whatever.
I agree about LLM’s alone. But it’s difficult to make confident statements about what machine learning researchers might come up with when combining LLM’s with other approaches.

Used to be at BCG. I think it's worth bearing in mind that relatively little consulting revenue -- even at the top strategy shops -- comes from pure strategy work anymore.

You can push much, much more volume and absolute impact through by running big merger integrations, digital transformation, and other large scale change projects at big companies.

It is basically a better business to become something like a premium Accenture, a "get stuff done" kind of consultancy. You can staff an army of junior people for a very very long time on those kinds of projects.

It's just not that easy to keep people staffed on 5-6 person teams solely on 8-12 week pure strategy engagements.

These kinds of projects are also the first discretionary spending yo get cut when times get tough.

If you're going to be focused on the pure strategy work, you'll probably want to stay really really small. We've seen some of this in investment banking with firms like Allen & Co or Qatalyst. Challenge is that consulting doesn't come with scalable monetization via success fees.

It's just not great business to be a boutique consultancy, I think.
