Historic date 2024-10-21: the last time anyone lied in a review.

I’m glad they’re trying. It remains to be seen how this’ll sort out.
Well, that's a bad example ... The can opener I had for the first 50 years of my life left a dangerous crazy sharp metal edge around the opening which I cut myself on more than once. The Oxo can opener I've had for the last 10 years rolls the edge as it cuts and removes the entire top of the can; what's left is extremely safe, at least by comparison with the old style.

Then again, when I was much younger, I had a backpacking can opener that was useful when hiking in places where sometimes buying canned foods made sense. It was about as large as a very large postage stamp, and crazy good for the size and weight. I wouldn't want to use it at home (much), but it was awesome when I had to carry it around.

So, even for can openers, the story can be complicated.

Also, assuming that the primary purpose of an F350 is towing is ... interesting. Lots and lots of them here in rural NM (as much as anyway, anyway), and they are rarely towing anything.

Some will be obvious, such as a review for a book or game or other media item that hasn't been publicly released. I would expect a platform such as Amazon would have responsibility to suppress reviews for items that are not, and have never been for sale. A flood of reviews all coming in immediately after the product goes on sale, or a statistically improbable distribution of geographic locations would also be suspicious.
I've been using a lot of o1-mini and having a good experience with it.

Yesterday I decided to try sonnet 3.5. I asked for a simple but efficient script to perform fuzzy match in strings with Python. Strangely, it didn't even mention existing fast libraries, like FuzzyWuzzy and Rapidfuzz. It went on to create everything from scratch using standard libraries. I don't know, I thought this was something basic for it to stumble on.
> I'm not so sure this is the reason. If you look at houses, current trends are black and white or a combination of the two.

> I think it's more just current tastes than anything.

I guess I was wrong about what I thought a trend was, because my understanding was always that the general populace dictates trends. When I go through neighborhoods where people have freedom to choose their exterior color, the new colors I'm seeing are not white, black, or gray, but a vibrant selection across the spectrum. I'd love to see these color choices backed up by actual data, because my unqualified belief (since we're all kind of doing that here) is that the people who are choosing boring colors for new construction are not surveying consumers to find out if they actually like those colors.
Hopefully this part fixes the Amazon review problem, because it lets them go after Amazon itself...

> It also prohibits them from ... disseminating such testimonials, when the business ... should have known that the reviews or testimonials were fake or false.

Many of the Amazon fake review practices are extremely in the "should have known" category.
sounds like they don't have the courage of their convictions then... i wouldn't work for a place that wouldn't put it in writing

I'd insert the clause and let them challenge it
Pluto and USRP are almost exactly the same thing at this point, just USB2 vs USB3 so you're limited on data rates outside of the device an technically a different chip but they're an old node and binned, so they're the same in practice. You can still install an external clock into the UFL connector on the Pluto though so you can sync a few if you want or use a GPSDO for frequency accuracy. You can also install the extra Tx/Rx pair onto the UFL connectors they added recently-ish.
Once again, having vitamin D levels within the recommended range correlates with many aspects of _general health_. It does not have any _specific_ influence on influenza viruses. Not only is it not specific, but taking vitamin D doesn't directly do anything except raise one's existing vitamin D levels.

If you don't understand the difference between A) the general health benefits of not being deficient in a vitamin/mineral/amino-acid/etc., and B) a _specific_ vaccine's effects against a _specific_ pathogen (or group of pathogens), I don't know what else to tell you.
Speaking of "intelligence", isn't it ironic how everyone's only two words they use to describe AI is "crazy" and "insane". Every other post on Twitter is like: This new feature is insane! This new model is crazy! People have gotten addicted to those words almost as badly as their other new addiction: the word "banger".
It's hard to express to people who haven't been in the industry since before the late 90s how completely Google's search changed things.
For a while it seemed like we were rotating through search engines yearly,
each time getting incrementally better than the last one.
PageRank rewrote the rules.

Watching Google search and search on the internet generally degrade back to looking like the mid-90s has been a painful loss for those,
including myself,
who had gotten lazy about curating our own links and bookmarks.
These days I am more careful about collecting and storing sources I find,
lest they disappear from a Google search or get buried in the next wave of AI-generated SEO sewage.

I hope this is actively enforced with real teeth very soon. I 1-star fake products and call them out in reviews resulting in the devious vendor somehow being able to send me a postcard to my real physical address offering money for 5 stars. The sham vendor also spam my email weekly. Amazon appears to actively support this process. It needed to be curtailed decades ago.
Approaches like best of n sampling and majority voting are definitely feasible. But I don't recommend trying things related to CoT, as it might interfere with the internalized reasoning patterns.
Yes. But I do draw a distinction between "normal" child behavior and parents who have literally zero control over their little monsters. Babies cry. It happens. It's fine. Toddlers say or do inappropriate things as they learn to navigate the world. They have meltdowns sometimes too. But then there are parents who let their kids run screaming through shared spaces or lets them knock items off of shelves or harass other people. Decent parents will try to mitigate their children's behavior. Bad parents just watch uselessly.
Very cool! Pattern matcher isn't very advanced, I only spent maybe two days on it. Only supports Blank, Pattern, and PatternTest. (Also doesn't handle Flat, so for example in Mathematica `Times[x_, y_]` will match `Times[a, b, c]`, but it currently doesn't in ts-wolfram.)

I'm new to Mathematica, so didn't know about `Condition` (thanks for mentioning it)

It was a little hard to get going, the parsing stage usually stops me because I never learned a good parser generator well enough to just start writing code. But once I got ts-parsec working, the rest was fairly easy. I think I got `D` to work within like two days. Was also very surprised how much you can do with so little!

I read it as "attributed to people who ... are generated by artificial intelligence.'

Insurance against the argument that "This person who wrote the review does exist, just not in a flesh body, they're an AI creation." But that might also be an instant-flop argument legally since I'm sure "personhood" has some definition near-future AI can't hope to approach.

multi subs allow you to declare multiple overloaded versions of a function (subroutine, sub). Dispatch between sub bodies happens based on either the type(s) of arguments or based on a truth value of a "guard" - a boolean expression or boolean function placed after `where` in sub declaration head.

`%%` is a `modulo == 0` operator, which is surprisingly commonly needed.

`fizzbuzz(Int $ where * %% 15)` can also be written `fizzbuzz(Int $x where $x %% 15)` - the difference is that you don't have to name the argument just for the check. When `fizzbuzz` is called, all known definitions' guards are checked to see which will be entered.

The `*` in `* %% 15` is "whatever star", you can think of it as a short syntax for creating lambdas. There are multiple ways of constructing anonymous functions and blocks, you can get the same effect with `{ $_ %% 15 }`, `-> $a { $a %% 15 }`.

`»` is a "hyper operator"; the next method-call will be performed on all elements of a collection on the left. Groovy uses `*.` for this I think. You could use a `.map` method instead, `(1..100).map(&fizzbuzz)` or `.map({ .&fizzbuzz })` (`{ .meth }` is equivalent to `-> $x { $x.meth }`)

`.&` is a "call as method" operator: `fizzbuzz` is a function, so you can't call `1.fizzbuzz`, however, you can call `1.&fizzbuzz`.

Also, in the first solution, `(3 & 5)` is a Junction. This is an important concept that introduces a degree of nondeterminism to the language - well worth reading about! :)

How about IT IS IN THE NAME

Go ahead, start excluding people from "the people", see how far you get before someone with more influence or power decides you should be excluded.
It's not good for any entity to role play without signaling that they are role-playing. If your premise is wrong, would you rather be corrected, or have the person you're talking to always play along? Humans have a lot of non-verbal cues to convey that you shouldn't take what they are saying at face value - those who deadpan are known as compulsive liars. Just below in them in awfulness are people who don't admit to having being wrong ("Haha, I was just joking" /"Just kidding!"). The LLM you describe falls somewhere in between, but worse if it never communicates when it's "serious" and when it's not, and bot even bothering with expressing retroactive facetiousness.
It is somewhat similar to Jevons paradox: when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used, but the falling cost of use induces increases in demand enough that resource use is increased, rather than reduced

E.g. People who purchase cars with Improved Fuel Economy ends up driving so much more that they end up using even more fuel than they would have with a less efficient car.

I am very amused at how you trying to present that as a Big Scary Number. It's as if some carnival barker is hyping up the ferocious lion, king of beasts, and then pulls the curtain aside to reveal confused Pekingese.

> We won't know how widespread the problem is without a thorough nationwide investigation

A false dilemma. State-level investigations are entirely possible and are also within the power of the most vocal doom-sayers to trigger... So why don't they? Because they do not want those investigations, which have a nasty habit of disproving the wild claims they've been peddling to motivate their base.

Demanding a national investigation is an excuse for inaction, firstly because it's legally incoherent with how states manage elections, and secondly because whether Louisiana can detect/stop a berjillion false-voters streaming across the border has nothing to do with requiring a report on how New Hampshire is doing.

It is truly difficult because you do have people who leave fake negative reviews as well. And fake reviews, whether good or bad, should be deleted. They are useless, they are only there to affect review scores.

It's a convoluted problem with no good answer so far.

Show HN: Custom GPT allows full shell interaction on chatgpt.com
I have been using this custom gpt that I wrote to develop code on autopilot mode for a while now. Write code -> fix type issues -> write code on a loop.

All on chatgpt.com webapp without any API access requirement so it's free.

It has full shell access and can write files.

I was initially hesitant to run it locally outside VM, but now I believe that if the project is version controlled, it's very hard for anything bad to happen.

What could go wrong? ;)
> Now, Anthropic is jamming two version strings on the same product, and I consider that a bad choice. It doesn’t mean I think OpenAI’s approach is great either, but I think there are nuances that say they’re not doing exactly the same thing

Anthropic has always had dated versions as well as the other components, and they are, in fact, doing exactly the same thing, except that OpenAI has a base model in each generation with no suffix before the date specifier (what I call the "Model Class" on the table below), and OpenAI is inconsistent in their date formats, see:

Major Family Generation Model Class Date
claude 3.5 sonnet 20041022
claude 3.0 opus 20240229

b) Science India magazine published by Vijnana Bharati- https://scienceindiamag.in/
We're one of those players (https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern) and we're definitely watching the space with a lot of excitement

We thought it was inevitable that OpenAI / Anthropic would veer into this space and start to become competitive with us. We actually expected OpenAI to do it first!

What this confirms is that there is significant interest in computer / browser automation, and the problem is still unsolved. We will see whether the automation itself is an application later problem (our approach) or whether the model needs to be intertwined with the application (Anthropic's approach here)

You can non-explicitly enforce positive review coverage by simply not sending review units to people who are likely to say things bad about your products. If you send early review units to 10 people one year, and the next year only 6 of them get review units, and the 4 people who didn't get review units this year were the 4 who gave the harshest review, the message is now out that you need to say good things if you want to continue getting early access to devices for reviews.

SnazzyLabs is a good example - he should be well within the criteria for Apple to be sending him iPhones and Macs early, but I can only assume Apple thinks he's too critical when he finds an issue he doesn't like. Thus he has to buy his review units on street release date along with everyone else. How many people are giving less critical reviews because of that?
I assume that the mentioned “some setup” involve not only distributing the new root CA, but also somehow prepopulating the old cross-signed certificate, as the services know nothing about that and thus will not send it in their cert chain. Or am I overlooking something?
C's function declaration syntax is pretty weird and makes the language harder to parse. Most languages have a function keyword.

> finding evidence of any reasoning is the first point

Happy to oblige. Oxford Languages dictionary defines “reasoning” as “the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way.”

This was my prompt to chatgpt: “Hey chatgpt! On hacker news user hggigg said this: Isn't reasoning a little strong word? I mean finding evidence of any reasoning is the first point and I haven't seen anything that points to that.

Based on this comment what do you think is the likely attitude of hggigg about large language models? (Answer with a single sentence)”

This was the response: “hggigg likely expresses skepticism about large language models' ability to genuinely reason.”

That sounds like reasoning to me. It was an action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way. The something (a snippet of your comment) was novel. I don’t know what you mean by “structured”. Does it provide you evidence of reasoning for you? (If not, what would?)

Yeah, but Andrej is talking about learning much harder things in much more depth. He's a world class research scientist and engineer.

Practically everyone on planet earth learns a language as a child. Learning how to use some commands in linux and and programming a bot are literally child's play. I learned to play soccer the way you speak of - i'm... ok at it. Messi did a different thing.
But did they ever have more than one release of Claude 3 Sonnet? Or any other model prior to today?

As far as I can tell, the answer is “no”. If true, then the fact that they previously had date strings would be a purely academic footnote to what I was saying, not actually relevant or meaningful.
