When I first run locally-built software I tend to notice XProtect scanning each binary when it is launched. I know that XProtect matches the executable against a pre-downloaded list of malware signatures rather than sending data to the internet, but I haven't monitored network traffic to be sure it is purely local. You can see the malware signatures it uses at /private/var/protected/xprotect/XProtect.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.yara if you're curious.

Your argument is a bit disingenuous because it's not applicable in situation where there is clear law clarifying that something can't be done.

You're pretending that cops are using this in situations where it's known that a warrant is needed, as opposed to it being an exception to "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine when new caselaw is being made.

> Acting in good faith would be getting a warrant regardless

That's not what "good faith" means, that's just something entirely made up by you. From a reasonable perspective that could be described as foolish and a waste of time and the public's resources.

> It encourages the police to push the boundaries of legal behavior, because they still get to keep the evidence even if they are wrong and have committed an illegal search.

There's a constant tension between technology, crime and the police that's reflected in the history of 4th amendment jurisprudence and it's not at all like what you describe. The criminals are pushing the boundaries to which the police must catch up, and the law must determine what is fair as society changes over time. I'm not particularly pro cop, but you don't seem to be reasonable about any of this.

Ah thanks for clarifying. I understand the focus on being a scripting syntax first after looking at google/zx & rereading the docs.

Also had some more time to look at the code, seems like the CLI is using https://github.com/microsoft/genaiscript/blob/main/packages/... to execute scripts which uses promptrunner in core https://github.com/microsoft/genaiscript/blob/main/packages/... - it looks like it's not trivial to use directly from JS or decouple the runtime? Unless that's on the roadmap somewhere to be able to call the scripts in the same process as a Node app.

Yes. The Standard Model has completely explained all experiments involving them for around 50 years now.

In fact the outstanding success of the Standard Model has posed its own problems - the lack of deviations from it makes it hard for experiments to point in a useful direction for better theories to be developed along.
Humans can actually run the code and knows what it should output. the LLM can't, and putting it in a loop against code output doesn't work well either since the LLM can't navigate that well.

First, it's well-known that women are generally more social (or at least, better trained for socialization) then men. So yes, they're naturally going to worry more about a welcoming culture.

Second, maybe you got into it as a solitary activity as a child (I did too, long ago), but unless you work at a very, very unusual job, it's not at all a solitary activity these days at any normal company.

Yeah that's pretty much the problem with modern Apple hardware.
If you just want a computer to do casual "home" stuff they feel very overpriced for what they will allow you to do, even though the design and build quality are good. And if you start to drop a lot of cash for a very powerful machine, they seem very underwhelming for the amount of cash you will need in comparison to a beastie PC.

The MacBook Pros are in a class of their own but I suspect that most who buy the higher end ones do not actually use the power all that much (they would prefer a real workstation otherwise).

When I used to work at an Apple Premium Service Provider, all the clients who had the high-end MacBook Pro were the executives and people like that who made little use of the power. Every worker, even in media agencies had a desktop workstation (iMac or Mac Pro).

The MacBook Pro craze is mainly a Silicon Valley startup thing.

And yes, Apple computers are mostly useful for design/media work, if you have more use cases you are very likely to hit a roadblock, which is sad for the price.
> Unfortunately there's a lot of lag

A great generalisation and understatement! Often looking like you are becoming more efficient is more important than actually being more efficient, e.g you need to impress investors. So you cut back on maintenance and other cost centres and the new management can blame you in 6 years time for it when you are far enough away from it to not hurt you.

I see two issues with the paper.

The first is that the measure of quality doesn't actually capture quality. It's like measuring the quality of a writer by looking at only their grammar and spelling.

The second is that it implicitly makes causal claims, but the design makes it impossible to infer any causal relationship between sex and code.

Curious what others' take is on just the empirics of the paper itself.

One thing I find especially bizarre about the current situation: the pages that are making it to the top aren’t even pretending to be real content. If they were difficult-to-detect LLM-generated pages, that would be one thing. But they’re generally extremely low-effort affiliate spam, mostly claiming that they researched something “so I don’t have to”, followed by a bunch of Amazon links and explicitly acknowledged scraped reviews, and finally an obviously uninformative summary. They don’t even pretend to have real content!

Yeah, when I was a kid one of my biggest motivators to type faster was chatting with people. I got faster at typing because I "had" to, because it bothered me when I wasn't able to get a message across as fast as I was thinking it. It probably helped I took piano lessons as a kid as well... I type around 130wpm these days and indeed, am very active in work discussions via text.
I don't know how accurate this writeup is, but the characterization of behavior was eerily familiar.

If they'd been talking about a certain other place that I know, I would've wanted to shout "Exactly!", and would've implicitly believed that's what they saw.

There's a type who exhibits a combination of arrogance and self-interested fixation. There's no malice, and they aren't sociopaths, and they don't think of themselves as jerks. But they have a sense of superiority and entitlement, and can be aggressively, er, norms-bending, to get what they want.

Some environments seem to either attract them, or to nurture them. It's something unclear to me about the individual environment, not the external kind of organization (e.g., one high-prestige organization has a lot of it, but another high-prestige organization of the same kind doesn't).

I could attribute it to "culture", because I don't have any more specific theory, and play by ear how to try to filter or nurture it out of a collective. But I suspect there's a critical mass of that type gaining positions of influence in the organization, at which point the culture becomes irreversible, since there's too much arrogance to see it as a problem. At that point, I'd guess the rest of the people should be looking at their options for leaving, and also try not to think or behave like that type themselves.
>This restriction is central to Rust’s safety guarantees, but C# doesn’t need it. The reason is that Rust has to account for the possibility that a reference may be invalidated at any time.

That’s not why though. There’s lots of reasons for Rusts safety model, such as allowing for vastly faster code because aliasing can’t happen unless both references are read only, in which case it doesn’t matter. There is lot to Rusts borrow rules that this article misses.

It’s like the article earlier today that was, essentially, “I don’t understand Rust and it would be better if it was Haskell”.
That's correct and if you read the whole thing you will realize that it is followed by "... to leap over GPUs" which indicates that they're not literally referring to optimizing the weights of the graph on a new architecture or freshly initialized variables on existing ones.

This seems like an equivalent to Mustache or Handlebars except for programmatically building prompts rather than HTML?

For example, I may be building a text game, and I may have to get rules, state, character specs, etc. Then I may have to load these things into a document as part of a prompt for the LLM to consume.

Simple, as others mentioned. But still nice to have something to reach for rather than building this myself.

In fact, it looks like the model is doing those things internally.

We argue that representations in AI models, particularly deep networks, are converging. First, we survey many examples of convergence in the literature: over time and across multiple domains, the ways by which different neural networks represent data are becoming more aligned. Next, we demonstrate convergence across data modalities: as vision models and language models get larger, they measure distance between datapoints in a more and more alike way. We hypothesize that this convergence is driving toward a shared statistical model of reality, akin to Plato’s concept of an ideal reality. We term such a representation the platonic representation and discuss several possible selective pressures toward it. Finally, we discuss the implications of these trends, their limitations, and counterexamples to our analysis.

While Claude is not yet available, there are tight rate limits on o1-preview (~10 messages in a 15 minute window); this is low enough that it hampers anything close to "flow".

You can't switch models inside a single request, and it does not follow Aider's clear split (in Architect mode) between "plan" and "implement". If Copilot Editor decides to start implementing file changes alongside its response, you can hit your entire o1-preview cap in a single request-response pair.

When it does work, it's like Aider inside your IDE.
