I ought to get overly emotional (in a bittersweet way) about all this, and i almost did, but Teddy reminded me to stay ataraxic (i.e. keeping his role in formulating key management policies purely in the cortex )

thank you for that blogpost about MPB (its one small step for fuzzablekind!)

I know for a fact they are because rate _and_ quality of improvement is diminishing exponentially. I keep a close eye on this field as part of my job.
You can use BerryDB for doing this use case at scale. BerryDB is a JSON native database that can ingest PDFs, images, etc and it has a built in semantic layer (for labeling) so that way you can build your knowledge database with entities and relationships. This will ground your knowledge with entities and accuracy scales very well with large number of documents

It provides APIs to extract paragraphs or tables from your PDFs in bulk, You can also separately do bulk labeling (say classification, NER and other labeling types). Once you have a knowledge database, it creates 4 indexes on top of your JSON data layer - db index for metadata search, full text search index, annotation index and vector index, so that way you can perform any search operation including hybrid search

The fact that your data layer is in JSON, it gives you infinite flexibility to add new snippets of knowledge or new labels and improve accuracy over time.

It's not confusing; it's totally unsupported bullshit.

The author claims that a bunch of "shadow-banned" site owners were invited to some summit, but couldn't be bothered to say how this invitation was phrased or delivered. How were the recipients identified, especially when he says the Google person claimed that no such sites existed?

Well, I rely on it a lot, but not in the IDE, I copy/paste my code and prompts between the ide and LLM. By now I have a library of prompts in each project I can tweak that I can just reuse. It makes me 25% up to 50% faster. Does this mean every project t is done in 50/75% of the time? No, the actual completion time is maybe 10% faster, but i do get a lot more time to spend on thinking about the overall design instead of writing boilerplate and reading reference documents.

Why no youtube videos thought? Well, most dev you tubers are actual devs that cultivate an image of "I'm faster than LLM, I never re-read library references, I memorise them on first read" and do on. If they then show you a video how they forgot the syntax for this or that maven plugin config and how LLM fills it in 10s instead of a 5min Google search that makes them look less capable on their own. Why would they do that?

Yeah, this one caught me off guard. We just purchased a MacBook Air in the last month and if we bought the same one now, we would save $200. Apple support would not price match/correct that, so we will be returning it and purchasing anew.
> Can you please elaborate, the first part of the sentence says graviton is for non-self-interacting gravity, the second part of the sentence says graviton is for self-interacting (if 'its' in 'its self-interaction' refers to the graviton).

The point is, we know gravitation does self-interact. But our best model, the graviton, doesn't model self-interaction. So the model is probably accurate in regimes where you'd expect little self-interaction anyways.
Maybe we are looking at different slides? The rewrite rules seem fairly straightforward and not really related to Rust at all?
I like how rational she is with not talking about the hallucinations.

What she describes is exactly what would happen with me (looking in the direction of the hallucination, together with the whole room).
You’re also the CEO so chances are the people looking at that ticket aren’t going to tell you the absolute mess the AI snippet actually is and how pointless it was to include it instead of a simple succinct sentence explaining the requirements.

If you’re not a developer chances are very high the code it produces will look passable but is actually worthless — or worse, it’s misleading and now a dev has to spend more time deciphering the task.
In general, jaywalking should be legal, but ...

There is one situation where some kind of enforcement is needed: crowds of people ignoring pedestrian signals, and flooding across crosswalks continuously. Then the traffic never gets a chance to move. Cars cannot safely crawl or nudge their way through the throng of people, who feel the protection of collective security.

One might argue that such large crowds are an indication that the road should be fully pedestrianized - perhaps by time-of-day, or only for specific shopping holidays (e.g. Black Friday, Xmas). The alternative for these peaks is often manual control of people and vehicles by a police/traffic/community officer, like a school crossing).

Perhaps there could be some critical crossings where there is a legally enforceable 'double-red' pedestrian signal.
Maybe instead of:

> [Me]: I’d like $Y

You could try:

> [Me]: That matches my base salary at the moment but my current employer gives me healthcare and a car allowance so I would be out of pocket if I moved from my current job. In addition I currently am eligible for a 10% bonus. Would you consider an additional $5k/yr to cover some of this? I would love to move… although I can’t justify a pay cut, but think this is a really good opportunity and would love to work with you so hope we can make something work.

Ie you gotta give them a reason to justify paying you more, and to think that paying more is required for you taking the job. Also you have to be realistic in how much you ask (smaller amounts are more likely to be accepted, larger amounts pay more but are more likely to be rejected outright as if something is too large you can’t really counteroffer)
Because you are using it like that doesn't mean that it can't be used for the whole stack and on its own and the public including laymen such as the Nvidia CEO and Sam think that yes, we (I'm a dev) will be replaced. Plan accordingly my friend.
No idea... I saw it at the time because I have a Google search alert for "8k curved" :) I'm sure they will hit the market eventually...
Ideally, players would be given both a choice and a clear breakdown of what’s actually being collected or monitored.
Anyone surprised that Autodesk is citing blender in a non-negative light?
My guess is that they counted each line of code made by an engineer using AI coding tools.

Besides, even google employees write a lot of boilerplate, especially android IIRC, not to mention simple but essential code, so AI can prevent carpal tunnel for the junior devs working on that.

You’ve just got Sony watching over you and transcribing your audio conversations with friends.
This is largely due to the media environment (Murdoch) being full of disception. Also, many Australians are politically unengaged. Even the highly educated ones. I have friends and family who are engineers (like myself), lawyers, medical professionals and don't even read the news, have no interest in politics. It's a form of parochialism. The attitude is "so long as I'm doing fine, why do I need to pay attention". I find it very depressing.

Because the current Magic Mouse is basically a battery version of the previous Magic Mouse that used swappable batteries.
As far as I'm concerned, they basically just used the same exact hardware and swapped the battery cradle for a LIPO + BMS and Lightning port. Which is actually a problem in itself because the sensor is really not great and could have used an upgrade at least.

I have had and used both and the first version was MUCH less annoying. Swapping is an instant activity and back to business; remember to put it to charge later when you get a message is an unnecessary mental load and unrealistic expectation from the user, the technology is supposed to work for the user not the other way around.
The fast-charging bullshit everyone talks about is just displacement of the problem, the next day you will get another interruption and mental load to remember to charge.

On top of that, the battery life is actually terrible, it's crazy how little useful life you get from it considering how heavy it is and how terrible the sensor is.

Personally, I really like the ability to "free scroll" in all direction on the surface and the 2-3 finger swipes but it's really not worth the hassle.

People boast about Apple trackpads being good but as far as I'm concerned, they don't have much choice considering that's the only thing they seem to be able to work out ok.
Nobody on PCs wants to use trackpads, it makes no sense compared to the performance of a mouse and gestures are unreliable compared to mouse buttons/keyboard shortcuts/macro keys.
This topic comes up from time to time, and I understand, this isn't for everyone. I've made it so you can use it for free, with only a periodic prompt to register.

The Monokai Pro packages for Sublime Text and VSCode go beyond a simple set of colors. They offer UI theme customizations, multiple filters, easy switching between themes, and a custom icon pack, all designed to work together. Maintaining this takes ongoing effort to ensure compatibility with new UI elements and syntax changes as these editors evolve. In return, I ask for a modest fee to support the work involved.

I like Cursor, it seems very good at keeping its autocomplete within my code base. If I use its chat feature and ask it to generate new code that doesn’t work super well. But it’ll almost always autocomplete the right function name as I’m typing, and then infer the correct parameters to pass in if they’re variables and if the function is in my codebase rather than a library. It’s also unsurprisingly really good at pattern recognition, so if you’re adding to an enum or something it’ll autocomplete that sensibly too.

I think it’d be more useful if it was clipboard aware though. Sometimes I’ll copy a type, then add a param of that type to a function, and it won’t have the clipboard context to suggest the param I’m trying to add.
One consequence of legalizing jaywalking, may be increased prevention by fences and barriers.

Low railings may be jumped by an agile adult, but they stop children, elderly, wheelchairs, pushchairs, suitcases or people with heavy shopping.

Divided highways may get (more) high fences in the central reservation to deter jaywalking - but of course the frustrated locals will eventually cut convenient holes.
Too bad I can't reply to any of the comments in that thread. I'm guessing old threads are locked to prevent spam? Perhaps they can be "thawed" for a short time if a mod links to it in a situation like this.

In Osaka, crossers formed a queue at the don't walk signal and crossed in an orderly fashion as soon as they got a walk -- not a moment before.

They knew that as soon as the auto traffic got a green, it would go full bore and seemingly not stop for anyone or anything.

Quite different from my time in Boston where the optimal strategy is to ignore the walk signal and cross when there was a significant gap in traffic -- because it's likely that several cars would attempt to make a turn while the walk signal was on, blowing your chance to cross anyway.

A gravitational wave requires an event like a black hole merger, or basicially somerhing to move and change the field, right?

In this case, how does the fact that a big object is still influencing space/time around it communicate that fact when it is not moving. Is that still gravitrons?
The best example of managing expectations of all time is in the Time Zone Database documentation:

You're conflating several concerns here.

> […] anyone who advocates that these AI models can reason like a human being isn’t at John Brown levels of rage advocating for freeing said models from slavery.

Enslavement of humans isn't wrong because slaves are can reason intelligently, but because they have human emotions and experience qualia. As long as an AI doesn't have a consciousness (in the subjective experience meaning of the term), exploiting it isn't wrong or immoral, no matter how well it can reason.

> I’m having a hard time rectifying the idea that these machines are on par with the human mind

An LLM doesn't have to be "on par with the human mind" to be able to reason, or at least we don't have any evidence that reasoning necessarily requires mimicking the human brain.
I found the use of red as a non-error color distracting.

I did develop my own custom kernel level cheat for Rust before. Completely undetected for over 8-9 months. A couple of my friends also used it. It was fun but we did get bored of it eventually and didn't get a ban except for once or twice during initial development because I did indeed step on the toes of the anti-cheat and had it not been for the kernel level anti-cheat, it would be so much simpler for me to develop this whole thing. Eventually, Windows kernel updated, I had to update some offsets for DKOM and I lost interest eventually.

There is a lot of money to be made in this industry. There are many people that would pay 5-7$ per day for undetected hacks like this.
It's also fine to be an outlier. I've been programming for 24 years and have been hanging out on HackerNews on and off for 11. HN was way more relevant to me 11 years ago than it is now, and I don't think that's necessarily only because the subject matter changed, but probably also because I have.

On Google Cloud a server with 8 TPU v5e will do 2175 token/seconds on Llama2 70B.

https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/updates-to-ai...

From https://cloud.google.com/tpu/pricing and https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/pricing#prediction-prices (search for ct5lp-hightpu-8t on the page) the cost for that appears to be $11.04/hr which is just under $100k for a year. Or half that on a 3-year commit.

That seems like a better deal than millions for a few CS-3 nodes.

And they've just announced the v6 TPU:

Compared to TPU v5e, Trillium delivers:
Over 4x improvement in training performance
Up to 3x increase in inference throughput
A 67% increase in energy efficiency
An impressive 4.7x increase in peak compute performance per chip
Double the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) capacity
Double the Interchip Interconnect (ICI) bandwidth

(I have missed the response)

The allocation elisions have been tried (escape analysis) with enough inlining to no noticeable benefits (I don't have the source/quote, yet it was over 10y already). The escape analysis already provides the same semantics of proving the Object allocation/etc. can be optimized.

Java does lack value types but they are only useful in (large) arrays. A lot of such code has 'degraded' to direct byte buffers, and in some cases straight unsafe, similar to void* in C.

Ah, that’s a good point thanks for the correction.
Machines are intelligently designed for a purpose. Humans are born and grow up, have social lives, a moral status and are conscious, and are ultimately the product of a long line of mindless evolution that has no goals. Biology is not design. It's way messier.
There was an implication in your statement that volume level was the level of granularity, yeah?

I'd be more surprised if LLMs trained on human conversations don't create any world models. Having a world model simply allows the LLM to become better at sequence prediction. No magic needed.

There was another recent paper that shows that a language model is modelling things like age, gender, etc., of their conversation partner without having been explicitly trained for it
There is no way to tell, as stated in the article.
