I think the goal of minimizing hallucinations needs to be adjusted. When a human "lies", there is a familiarity to it - "I think the restaurant is here." "Wasn't he in Inception?", like humans are good at conveying which information they're certain of and what they're uncertain of, either with vocal tone, body language or signals in the writing style. I've been trying to use Gemini to just ask simple questions and it's hallucinations really put me off. It will confidently tell me lies and now my lizard brain just sees it as unreliable and I'm less likely to ask it things, only because it's not at all able to indicate which information it's certain of. We're never going to get rid of hallucinations because of the probabilistic nature in which LLMs work, but we can get better at adjusting how these are presented to humans.

> not everyone can afford to live in cities ... not everyone can afford to live in areas well connected by public transportation

Looking at it from a theoretical standpoint, physically co-locating living space allows for a number of significant cost efficiencies compared to spreading the same number of people over a larger geographic area. For much of history it was the wealthy who could afford to live outside the cities while the poor had no such choice.

My guess is that if suburban and rural residents actually paid the full cost of their roads and other infrastructure (and if zoning didn't prevent organic density from forming) that living in the suburbs (as I do) would become comparatively more expensive.
> so that you won't be turned down for lack of novelty

I think this is also a reason for lots of fraud. It can be flat out fraud, it can be subtle exaggerations because you might know or have a VERY good hunch something is true but can't prove or have the resources to prove (but will if you get this work through), or the far more common obscurification. The latter happens a lot because if something is easy to understand, it is far more likely to be seen as not novel and if communicated too well it may be even viewed as obvious or trivial. It does not matter if no one else has done it or how many people/papers you quote that claim the opposite.

On top of this, novelty scales extremely poorly. As we progress more, what is novel becomes more subtle. As we see more ideas the easier it is to relate one idea to another.

But I think the most important part is that the entire foundation of science is replication. So why do we have a system that not only does not reward the most important thing, but actively discourages it? You cannot confirm results by reading a paper (though you can invalidate by reading). You can only confirm results by repeating. But I think the secret is that you're going to almost learn something new, though information gain decreases with number of replications.

We have a very poor incentive system which in general relies upon people acting in good faith. It is a very hard system to solve but the biggest error is to not admit that it is a noisy process. Structures can only be held together by high morals when the community is small and there is clear accountability. But this doesn't hold at scale, because there are always incentives to cut corners. But if you have to beat someone who cuts corners it is much harder to do so without cutting more corners. It's a slow death, but still death.
2 days off for the weekend just isn't enough to fully recuperate once you're in the burnout zone.

I think if I were to be fired I would like to take 2-3 months off to build up before I started looking for a new job, but that's only possible due to having some savings I could tap into.

Back of the napkin calculations say I would need about $4,000/month liquid cash to not be in danger. Add another 1 month barrier in and I would need $16,000 on hand to take 3 months off assuming that I got another equally paying job almost immediately.
If it helps, I'm entertained
Public university labs are generally public as they're state property (in this particular case, UW Madison is a public state University). Further, recording video or pictures of people in public places is broadly legal in the US. There are only "presumption of privacy" restrictions which apply to places such as bathrooms and private property that is not visible from a public location (ex. a sidewalk).

Obv. IANAL and this is not legal advice.
There's wealthy, and there's Wealthy. As the market itself tends to trend upwards, you can absolutely ride that into wealthy, no crime or extreme luck required.
Because interacting with an ipad is significantly easier than interacting in VR. And then interacting with a PC is even easier than that.

Imagine a typical use case for a computer. Writing an essay, coding, doing CAD work, using Excel, replying to emails, ordering products.

Here's how much I'd want to do those per device:

1. TV - fuck no

2. Phone - prefer not to, but replying to an email isn't the worse thing ever

3. iPad - pretty good, sure

3. Desktop PC - by far fastest, most dense, and most convenient experience

4. VR - If it even can be done, I know it will be infuriating.

They basically have no rights themselves, but they pretended to do and even try to force you to allow them to enter so they can check that you have no TV receiver (including the built in ones in the TV) and say that they will come with the police and a search warrant if you deny them. It doesn't even matter if you have no antenna or no coax cable.

OpenID AuthZEN, One Year In: A Retrospective
What do you mean there's no such thing as too much news about war or capitalism (my interpretation of ww2 and industrial revolution)? I can't imagine your saying that interspersing your entire life with hourly updates on the deaths of millions of people is a... good? healthy? survivable thing? What about every 15 minutes? What about every second of every day? "No such thing" is certainly a strong phrase.

I can certainly say that consumption of news above around 1-2 hours a day in myself and everyone I've had the pleasure to discuss this with is an increasingly bad thing. Especially war! If you spend all of your time just consuming news about things when do you have time to do things like live a fulfilling life or enjoy peaceful human existence. Continuous news is the opposite of peace.

Maybe you're saying in general rather than in one person's life but i'd counter that a mass amount of news in general _is directly_ a mass amount of news in a mass amount of people's lives. Why would there be tons and tons of news unless people were actively consuming more and more of it?

How many hours a day do you spend reading current events and news? Why don't you spend more? Your answer to that question is my rebuttal
It's currently badly outdated. There's one specifically for the UCS at https://ucs.mlscript.dev/

I agree with that example you just shared. I think I don’t view it as the same as your quote though:

> the more obvious effort that has been put into a thing's aesthetics

I would consider that sign example to not be aesthetically pleasing. Maybe it’s more related to the ‘loudness’ of the aesthetics.

There are a lot of simple text blogs on HN which is a great aesthetic, some with lots of thought to keep them simple. Thats the counterpoint IMO.
> Finding errors in a text is a useful exercise, but clearly a huge step down in terms of cognitive challenge from producing a high quality text from scratch.

I disagree.

I've been writing a novel now for… far too long, now. Trouble is, whenever I read it back, I don't like what I've done.

I could totally just ask an LLM to write one for me, but the hard part is figuring out what parts of those 109,000 words of mine sucked, much more so than writing them.

(I can also ask an LLM to copyedit for me, but that only goes so far before it gets confused and starts trying to tell me about something wildly different).

> It's not easy to identify which "useless" skills are still useful as to learn as cognitive training

Indeed. And you may also be correct that writing is one such skill even if only just to get the most out of an LLM.

What I'm describing here is very much a best guess from minimal evidence and the current situation; I would easily drop it for another idea if I saw even very minimal evidence for a better solution.
Really, have you used Google Cloud?

Big Enterprises need alot of bells and whistles and for the longest time, Google Cloud didn't have those bells and whistles. For example, App Engine for longest time didn't have internal IP only. It has it's now but whole point, most people have already evaluated their cloud and picked it.

Also, Google used to be or still is terrible at talking to customers. Big Enterprises require people at Google to actually talk to customers, something Google is notoriously terrible at.

> claiming that locking phones to a carrier's network makes it possible to provide cheaper handsets to consumers

Weird, because they seem to have the same prices as Verizon.
This is done by a lot of customer support and helpdesk systems that one would almost consider “legacy” that are certainly not related to AI in any way.

So I would assume that the uptick is caused by you moving somewhat up in you career so you deal with such BS systems more often.

On the other hand, the approach with explicit markers in the email is reliable. Alternative is some bunch of ad-hoc rules that will extract the actual reply from the reply, which has a lot of edge cases (which for some systems even extend to edge cases that involve the MIME envelope, not the message text itself).
My 2 cents to start the discussion:

PlanetScale (Vitess) was great because I loved the branching and schema migrations a lot, but unfortunately it's expensive and I like to self-host.

Malaria has multiple dependencies but they’re all resilient like well set up k8s. You can reduce its function by attacking multiple paths but, mathematically, to destroy it one of the decencies has to go to 0 or several have to be severely degraded. Polio was comparatively easy because it had a cheap vaccine you could take by mouth and you could isolate
https://c4model.com/ is very useful for this. :-)

I've told it before, but when we were doing some clean sheet work a while ago I decided to use the C4 model and drew out the obligatory "Context" diagram with "user" "phone" "laptop" "app" sort of stuff.

I found them silly and (honestly) I still find that if I see one "in the wild" with no further elaboration I become suspect.

However two hours later, because of that silly context diagram, I realized that we had both an online and a semi-disconnected mobile app that could be offline for hours, and that certain things -had- to use a queue and expect an arbitrary amount of time for a task to run, and it completely changed how we thought about the core of how we implemented something pretty important.

Sold. :-)
Yes. Those are the specific conventions that the betriebsrat (Workers Concil) decides, but this varies from company to company and state.

My point is, considering this specific arrangement of 7 hours a day/workday (35h), what would be the offset comparing this same company with 28h/week (4D) with another company not in that arrangement in scenarios where throughput per hour matters?
Thank you so much for reading it and commenting.
Eh. Honestly, so far Sonnet hasn't had any trouble with it. The thing is that every time it changes anything, it rewrites every line of code anyways just because I ask it "please give me the complete changed file(s) for easy copypasting."

The effort tradeoff is different for AIs than humans. Easy-to-understand-locally is more important than cheap-to-change, because it can do "read and check every line in the project" for like 20 cents. Making AIs code like humans is not playing to their strengths.

I don't think it's that bad anyways.
I don't get what you mean. I thought they specify how the type can be used?
It just depends on whose Ox is being gored.

When you've created a platform that presents itself as a legitimate media platform and convince people this is where you should get your news, then you'll continually have this problem. We've already seen the immense power Facebook has and how easy it is for them to manipulate narratives and suppress information they now deem as "misinformation".

Its ironic the same people who championed the idea that ALL information should be free and available are now the same ones saying that if we don't police speech and suppress whatever it is they dislike today? Well then we're all just fascists to them.
The writer assumes that "you" refers to him or her. It's possible that the request not to write below that line is part of a document template. The instruction is for the template users not to put content below there, not necessarily to document consumers. Though the template could be used as a basis for letters that do have to be returned. Basically nobody in the entire workflow chain should put anything there, so that if that space has to be OCRed, it will reliably work.

> I am still not satisfied. If I send a letter back to TVL/BBC, and they scan the number at the bottom, it will generate the same information as they have already got; so, what's the point?

But that's the happy case, when nobody has written anything there to interfere with the OCR.

If the number cannot be read, then the document cannot be automatically associated with the residential address it pertains to; someone will have to deal with it manually.
About software implementations of dynamic tuning - Logic Pro supports this, under the name “Hermode Tuning”

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/logicpro/lgcpa88a63e7/...

> Hermode Tuning automatically controls the tuning of electronic keyboard instruments (…). It retains the pitch relationship between keys and notes, while correcting the individual notes of electronic instruments, ensuring a high degree of tonal purity. This process makes up to 50 finely graded frequencies available per note, while retaining compatibility with the fixed tuning system of 12 notes per octave.

That's a pretty beautiful story to me: what you meant as a joke unintentionally became art because of the way others interacted with it.

It got turned into a commentary on corporate responsibility (everyone likely thought "I don't know why this is here, but it's not my responsibility to check"), workplace communication (between the movers and your company), psychological inertia [1] (at some point, people would've been surprised and bothered if the paper wasn't there anymore), and much more. There's at least a months-long art study project potential in this!

If you can't trust a professor to professionally and impartially grade someone's work, the system would likely collapse. This is not to say that there hasn't been cases where professors have been shown to be biased, there has. But the premise of universities is to give professors some autonomy in the way they teach and evaluate students.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann (2017)
While I agree with your statement and recognize that, for now, Perplexity has only introduced a financial information platform comparable to Google Finance or Yahoo Finance, the true value of any forward-looking financial model is rooted in the depth of the qualitative research supporting it.

Building a useful forward looking financial model mostly involves qualitative analysis. This means thoroughly examining the company's and competitors' 10-Ks and 10-Qs, digesting industry reports, understanding the company’s business model, breaking down the underlying mechanics of the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, identifying the core processes driving value creation, forming solid hypotheses on how the business will evolve, etc.

I believe Perplexity, as an advanced answering engine, provides a strong foundation for supporting this kind of in-depth research and hope to see the platform evolve into this direction.
Has anybody made a guitar with double frets? I once saw a viola da gamba performance, and the VdG had some double frets, so I asked about it. Their purpose is to allow for some options when playing those thirds and tritones. Since the frets are tied on, you can have as many as you want, and they're also movable, so you can play around with temperaments if you want.

One should not memorize in mathematics at the college level. If you understand you don’t need to memorize anything. The memorization that should occur is when you remember certain facts because you’ve done enough problems that your brain “just knows” them.

Anytime students are allowed technology there is massive amounts of cheating. Knowing a certain body of knowledge off the top of your head is important in all areas of study.
Most hosts will generate both a stable and a temporary address when using SLAAC. The temporary address will be used for outbound traffic but the stable address will accept incoming traffic.

So there usually is a stable ULA or link-local that you can put in a local DNS AAAA record.

The PITA is that many services prefer GUA over ULA if available and don't gradually fall back to ULA if the WAN goes down. And you will still need dynDNS to VPN into your network because ISPs are allergic to stable IPv6 prefixes.

The one consistent method I know of would be high-frequency trading to front-run orders, which involves maintaining a moving target of state of the art infrastructure (both hardware and software), including a relationship at the markets so you can get an ultra high-speed connection (I'm certain there are rules with this to make it fairer, but I would assume not everyone will be provided a connection simply due to physical limits).

But I also assume that's not the type of thing parent comment is asking about - Any rational actor with an opportunity to do this would already be doing this after all.
