This might be more problematic under CoreCLR than under Unity. Prematurely invoking GC will cause objects that are more likely to die in Gen 0 to be promoted to Gen 1, accumulate there and then die there. This will cause unnecessary inter-generational traffic and will extend object lifetimes longer than strictly necessary. Because live object count is the main factor that affects pause duration, this may be undesirable.

It might be more useful to use OSU! approach as a reference: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/96213#issuecomment-...

OSU! represents an extreme case where the main game loop runs at 1000hz, so for much more realistic ~120hz you have plenty of options.

Actually that's a totally normal way for bans to work.

If a state decides to ban a book from school libraries, the libraries don't get to keep the books on the shelves because they already had it.

The ban on ex post facto laws merely means that, if a ban on a given book is passed today a librarian can't be punished for having it on the shelves yesterday.

Grandfathering in exceptions is just politics - make a bitter pill easier to swallow for the people most impacted; delay the costs of any remediation; deal with historical/museum pieces; and simplify enforcement.
I laughed and sort of agreed with this, in spirit. You're off on the details I think though.

When I listened to the audio samples before coming to the comments, I thought: "oh, like those totally lifeless and bland U.S. accents from podcasts, YT, etc."

I wouldn't associate it with skin colour or gender though at all. I've no idea why you'd go there - any skin colour and any gender is absolutely welcomed into the fold of U.S. cultural production, if they can produce bland generic "content" sincerely enough, it seems to me.

Disclaimer: many U.S. accents are interesting and wonderful (Colorado; Tom Waits), they don't all sound generic and bland. I have U.S. friends therefore I can pass judgment (TM).
My problem with a pour over is how agonizingly slow it is, and it requires 3-4 refill interactions to actually make a decent “pot” of coffee even with the largest chemex they sell.

I timed it once and I can literally get in the car and drive somewhere and get home with a 32oz coffee faster than my chemex can produce the same amount.

I’d pay $3k or more for a coffee maker that

1) had water line hookup capability, or at least a large glass reservoir
2) integrated conical grinder
3) all stainless/glass internals/zero plastic
4) timer functionality

I want to wake up and get ready finding a perfect pot of coffee on my schedule, with the only manual work being to remove the previous grounds each day and periodic maintenance.

AFAIK no one makes this.

I'm not trolling, the commenter asked me if I had considered something, and it happens I have actually made them myself. Not because I think its necessary, it certainly isn't, I simply like to make things by hand and use things that I've made.

It is inexpensive to buy unfinished wood utensils, anyone can search for them. And in the context of the problem, silicone is just as well if wood seems too difficult to find.
Higher quality and generally made in free countries (https://www.restaurantsupply.com/saute-pans), versus the cheap stuff made in authoritarian countries with questionable coatings/materials that some consumers opt for. Vollrath stuff has always been good in my experience. Preventing sticking and scratching are mostly skill issues, but everybody burns something (during prep) every now and then. I never saw a new pan or a pan thrown away in any kitchen I worked in.
To be fair, making wood utensils from scratch is multiple orders of magnitude easier than not being poor.
I did say all that (incl the 1M+) stuff coming from personal experience. I have "fixed" all kind of libraries (incl. database drivers, JDK itself, PKI cert loading, netty/jetty, ORM providers). I'd consider jaxb/jackson on the easy side of things.

Also I'd actively remove all apache commons as well. Even in Java8 most of the functionality is redundant.

With all that I meant it should not be really underestimation.
We have a reconditioned electric waffle iron from like the 40s. There are folks out there who specialize in taking them apart and replacing all the electrical components with modern stuff.

Could you give me a pointer or two?
I wondered about that myself, especially considering the massive improvement from "old" .NET to the core/kestrel based solutions - but a quick browsing a while ago mostly left me astonished how...well, for lack of a better word, banal most of the code was.

Agreed though, lack of all kinds of layers like auth, orm etc. are sadly a drawback of these kinds of benchmarks, if understandable - it would make comparability even trickier and has the danger of the comparison matrix of systems/frameworks/libraries exploding in size. But yeah, would be nice datapoints to have. :)

I imagine most of us here likely follow well-known conventional kitchen wisdom: don’t use metal utensils on non-stick pans, wash your hands after handling raw meat, etc. And I suppose I can add, generally avoid black plastic kitchen gear to my list. However, how much does it even matter at this point?

Does the kitchen of the restaurant I’m eating at care about that? Am I still going to drink 2 whiskeys tonight? Anyone got any tiny individually wrapped shitty Halloween candy? How do those synthetic made-in-x-country gym clothes feel against your skin? Wanna have a cigar? Are you breathing recycled air during an airline flight? When was the last time you stretched your legs? When’s the next time you’ll drink a plastic bottle of water? Got a k-cup? What’s the inner workings of that coffee machine do with the near boiling hot water? When was the last time it was cleaned? What chemical was used on your toilet that your buttcheeks are now sitting on? Want some bacon? How bout a hot dog? Been outside recently without sun screen?

So many things are actively killing us or giving us cancer. I’ll try to remember the black plastic thing, but I honestly think I just might forget and continue living in my blip of existence.
Is this really DMCA? Most take downs are not actually DMCA, they are different process that looks a lot like the DMCA. This is an important question because if this isn't actually a DMCA request but something similar than the EFF can go after the host for breach of contract by not serving their legal content (or the EFF signed a bad contract that allows the host to take down their content arbitrarily - though even then the courts may say this content should not have been covered). If this actually is the DMCA, then the notice is made under penalty of perjury and the EFF should press charges against whoever sent the notice - doing their best to get an example made of this person (probably a lawyer who should be removed from the bar for their actions once it is shown they committed perjury as part of their legal duties and thus are not ethical)

It looks like the adult version which doesn't require a prescription has in-game purchases (Google Play subscription?), so assuming it was bought that way, it seems like it wouldn't be restricted to one device. I can see the kid version being restricted if they only sell prescriptions outside of the Play Store.

I wonder what the difference is between the adult and kid versions, just the prescription requirement maybe?
The difference is if this isn't DMCA then Netlify is liable to the EFF for breach of contract.
This is just the sum of a geometric sequence.

And fundamentally, the anti-cheat software is fighting a loosing game because of some quirks of x86:

- hardware breakpoints on memory latch to logical, not physical addresses
- one can map the same area of physical memory to different logical addresses thus allowing arbitrary memory reads
- simulating inputs through the PnP stack can be made indetectible with polymorphic code doing the injections
- detecting the aimbot's core code can be prevented via at least two methods: triggering (and capturing) page faults on memory hosting the bot or, again, with polymorphic code generation

One could create a fully open source cheat engine relying on memory reads and input injection via the pnp stavk and it would be undetectable deterministically (with heuristics, sure).

Games - unless streamed - need to know a bit more about the world they display than the player is allowed to see. Some engines I analysed (years ago) tried to limit propagating data to the local client to only a portion of the map and close proximity (the more recent battlefield games, if memory serves), while lots still have all enemy coordinates at all times in memory, some even with debug symbols to help the poor aimbot community reverse memory structures that more easily.

Its hopeless. The only winning move is not to play :-)

That would be completely negligible I think.

And that ignores the fact that you would have that heat mainly in the stationary conductor (copper tube), not the magnetic falling object (person with magnets strapped on).

I'm not sure the best way to describe what it is that LLMs have had to learn to do what they do - minimize next word errors. "World model" seems misleading since they don't have any experience with the real world, and even in their own "world of words" they are just trained as passive observers, so it's not even a world-of-words model where they have learnt how this world responds to their own output/actions.

One description sometimes suggested is that they have learnt to model the (collective average) generative processes behind their training data, but of course they are doing this without knowing what the input was to that generative process - WHY the training source said what it did - which would seem to put a severe constraint on their ability to learn what it means. It's really more like they are modelling the generative process under false assumption that it is auto-regressive, rather than reacting to a hidden outside world.

The tricky point is that LLMs have clearly had to learn something at least similar to semantics to do a good job of minimizing prediction errors, although this is limited both by what they architecturally are able to learn, and what they need to learn for this task (literally no reward for learning more beyond what's needed for predict next word).

Perhaps it's most accurate to say that rather than learning semantics they've learned deep predictive contexts (patterns). Maybe if they were active agents, continuously learning from their own actions then there wouldn't be much daylight between "predictive contexts" and "semantics", although I think semantics implies a certain level of successful generalization (& exception recognition) to utilize experience in novel contexts. Looking at the failure modes of LLMs, such as on the farmer crossing river in boat puzzles, it seems clear they are more on the (exact training data) predictive context end of the spectrum, rather than really having grokked the semantics.

> The real value of this process is looking at your data and doing careful analysis. Even though an AI judge can be a helpful tool, going through this process is what drives results. I would go as far as saying that creating a LLM judge is a nice “hack” I use to trick people into carefully looking at their data!

Interesting conclusion. One of the reasons I like programming is that in order to automate a process using traditional software, you have to really understand the process and break it down into individual lines of code. I suppose the same is true for automating processes with LLMs; you still have to really understand the process and break it down into individual instructions for your prompt.
Even if you don’t care about chemicals, plastic does in my experience absorb a lot of “burnt/old” coffee flavor, especially if it goes through rubber/plastic/silicone tubing.

I can recommend porcelain pour over and paper filters. I fill up around 1L in the morning with hot water from the boiler. It’s very boring and non-fancy, takes about as much time as a coffee maker (pouring is slower but cleaning is faster). Use a thermos if you want it hot for longer. Great flavor for non-snobs.
> We already know LLMs are more than just words,

Just because you say something doesn’t mean it’s true.

They are literally next token prediction machines normally trained on just text tokens.

All they know is words. It happens that we humans encode and assign a lot of meaning in words and their semantics. LLMs can replicate combinations of words that appear to have this intent and understanding, even though they literally can’t, as they were just statistically likely next tokens. (Not that knowing likely next tokens isn’t useful, but it’s far from understanding)

Any assignment of meaning, reasoning, or whatever that we humans assign is personification bias.

Machines designed to spit out convincing text successfully spits out convincing text and now swaths of people think that more is going on.

I’m not as well versed on multimodal models, but the ideas should be consistent. They are guessing statistically likely next tokens, regardless of if those tokens represent text or audio or images or whatever.
Not useless at all, but not this big existential advancement some people seem to think it is.
