I completely agree that C and C++ become more manageable with modern tooling. The problem is that better doesn't fundamentally change the situation. How UB is defined in the standards means semantics are an all or nothing situation. Either there's no UB and you have the semantics specified by the standard, or you have UB and no semantics (past the point of UB in C23 thanks to your proposal). We've had a solid 30 years of history demonstrating that exhaustive static detection is impossible and every nontrivial program has UB of some kind.

You can't fix this with minor changes in the language or improved tooling. You need a complete overhaul of how the standards and implementations deal with UB.
But you dont need to hear voyager in order to hack it. It just needs to hear you. Nasa needs the big dish to hear voyager's tiny transmitters. Someone wanting to send a disruptive message to voyager could use a massive transmitter and a relatively smaller dish.

But you dont even need that. You need just enough outbound signal to jam the legitimate uplink, enough that voyager can no longer tell you from the real signal. That is likely much less than the power needed to send a command.

Or you could jam the nasa ground stations. A one-watt transmitter on a carefully positioned cubesat in low orbit would be enough to nullify voyager's real signal. (Setup the orbit to be over the deep space network stations every day as voyager comes into view.)

This is why economic inequality is a problem. Although it's often brought up that the economy is not a zero-sum game, and it's possible for everyone to get richer together despite rising inequality, this view doesn't recognize that money brings power, and power is a zero-sum game.
Anyone doing training where the metadata of the compilation and execution (like profiling data) is included? Maybe such inclusion could help nudge models in more code-efficient directions? I don't know, I'm only a laygenius at this stuff.

Interesting, at the Walgreens portal I don't see any prescribing doctor listed for any of the vaccinations I've gotten there.

In looking at the little pharmacy receipt they give you, there's certainly a prescription number, and a note that says "DR.

Almost all my recommended videos have tens of thousands of views or more. I don't know for sure if the algorithm usually ignores 97% of videos, but it might as well be doing that. Doing that vastly reduces the number of options and means you have lots and lots of data for each video.
I've been programming for about 30 years and I get a lot of benefit from these tools.

My day job is mainly data science and data forensics and these LLM tools are fantastic for both as they excel at writing scripts and data processing tools. SQL queries, R plots, Pandas data frame manipulation, etc.

They also work well for non-trivial applications like these that I made with Claude Projects writing 90% - 95% of the code:

If you work on the circuit/systems design side of things at Intel, it’s plausible that you can find work outside. If you works in the fabs in places like Oregon or New Mexico, it’s unlikely that you will be able to find work without having to move. There are other fabs in Oregon but they are much smaller and tend to have very high standards for hiring.

”The problem is, many current and former workers at the plant say, there is nothing green about it.

“The plant was never regulated, and the government knows,” Rakesh Kumar Aggarwal, a former manager at the plant, told The Times before he died in 2020, months after we started reporting this article and collecting samples for testing. He said basic safety measures were routinely skipped to save money and emissions from the facility went untreated, spewing dangerous chemicals into the heart of Delhi.”
Hi 8n4vidtmkvmk, the algorithms for evaluating spreadsheets are surprisingly tricky mainly because of the dependencies. The dependencies are only know at runtime and in Excel are lazy evaluated. So things like `IF(condition, value1, value2)` would evaluate first the condition if it is true it will evaluate value1 but not value2. So things that in other programming languages are a circular dependency are not so in Excel.
The problem of computing the dependencies might be solved by topological sort. The complication of the runtime dependencies is made worse by having dependencies that change every time (or that their outputs do not dependency solely of their inputs) like random functions or date functions. An optimization while evaluating a spreadsheet would be to only compute those cells that depend on cells whose value changed. If you do that you might miss on those volatile functions.

I realize I am most likely babbling too much.

Yes, volatile functions like RANDBETWEEN get evaluated each time a cell changes. They don't get evaluated when you focus on them.

Or they know the ancient technique of training on the test set. I know most of the questions are kept secret, but they are being regularly sent over the API to every LLM provider.
My dad has worked at a waste to energy plant for over 30 years. This can be done and done cleanly. Scrubbers/filters are expensive but the tech exists.
If I was going to bet, I would bet yes, they will reach above 85% performance.

The problem with all benchmarks, one that we just don't how to solve, is leakage. Systematically, LLMs are much better at benchmarks created before they were trained than after. There are countless papers that show significant leakage between training and test sets for models.

This is in part why so many LLMs are so strong according to benchmarks, particularly older popular benchmarks, but then prove to be so weak in practice when you try them out.

In addition to leakage, people also over-tune their LLMs to specific datasets. They also go out and collect more data that looks like the dataset they want to perform well on.

There's a lot of behind the scenes talk about unethical teams that collect data which doesn't technically overlap test sets, but is extremely close. You can detect this if you look at the pattern of errors these models make. But no one wants to go out and accuse specific teams, at least not for now.
It’s sometimes like, are these critics using the tools? It’s a strange schism at the moment.

Deliberately left out to get the reader's noggin joggin'
By "awry" I mean that one party gets the popular vote, the other party wins the election, which didn't happen this time. I'm not contesting this election, though I think it's a disaster.

It's true that the Democrats gerrymander. I think it gives them an advantage in Illinois and Massachusetts. I'm personally willing to give that up, and let my party take its chances in an elective republic.

I agree that your preferred method makes sense. I can't think of another way.

I don't believe that the House represents the people. In my state, the House delegation, and the state legislature, are effectively chosen by the ruling party through gerrymandering. This could be found to be illegal, since the Constitution requires the states to have a republican form of government. But I'm not sure I'm willing to take my chances with letting the Supreme Court decide on this right now.

I think that eliminating gerrymandering might have an impact on policy, since both parties would have to change how they appeal to voters.
Sometimes anti-vaxxers will point to the ostensibly high rate of serious adverse events exhibited by study participants in HPV vaccine trials. For example, in the study 'A 9-Valent HPV Vaccine against Infection and Intraepithelial Neoplasia in Women' published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2015, in which the 9-Valent HPV vaccine was compared to the Quadrivalent version, the rate of serious adverse events was 3.3% and 2.6% respectively. This objection can be dismissed, as the study authors found that 0.0% of those serious adverse events were vaccine related.

Anti-vaxxers also sometimes object to studies like these on the basis that no placebo arm was included, and thus the true safety profile of the vaccine cannot be ascertained, but this can be flatly rejected because, as the study authors point out, '[s]ince HPV vaccination is widely recommended and has been shown to prevent HPV disease related to oncogenic HPV types, the use of a placebo was not considered to be acceptable for ethical reasons.'
I played through GF with GameFAQs open next to it, and had an incredible time for it.

There is no recursion involved in parsing. You keep a stack for the tree.
They're not talking about the next time we find a prime, but they're also not talking about the next time we find a Mersenne prime.

They're talking about the next time we find a largest known prime. Mersenne or not. So while the title could be clearer, adding the word "Mersenne" would imply the wrong thing.

While it's true that the next record will probably be Mersenne, the next Mersenne might not be a record.

Could you run the benchmark by bootstrapping (average of repeated subsampling), instead of a straight-across performance score, and regain some leakage resistance that way? As well as a better simulation of "out of sample" data, at least for a little while.
The closest explanation to how chain of through works is suppressing the probability of a termination token.

People have found that even letting llms generate gibberish tokens produces better final outputs. Which isn't a surprise when you realise that the only way a llm can do computation is by outputting tokens.
Sure, but considering that kind of obscure/unintuitive (to some) requirement is just good product design.

And you might think you're ok with leaving the client open now, but then some time send later & forget about it or think it's happened, close laptop, and then it's not sent until too late.

Maybe Mozilla's considered and decided it can't deliver an experience it's happy with without a server component. Maybe it thinks a server component might be on the cards as part of some subscription thing, but some other things need to align first. Maybe it hasn't considered it at all.

But it's far from a trivial 'gah why won't they just implement this little isolated thing', imo.
I wonder if the best benchmark is a Prolog program that generates tests of logical reasoning. You could have a functionally infinite stream of test cases!

20% down on a 3 million dollar home is $600k. If they can't save that much in 5 years making $500k/yr, dare I say they're really not trying hard enough? say you only see half of that 500k after taxes (which is low since that 500k isn't cash comp and you wait for long term capital gains to kick in). $250k/yr - saving $120k, still gives you $130k post-tax,
or $10,800/month to rent, pay for groceries, utilities, fuel, retirement, entertainment, everything else.

People are living on half that,
if not less. $3,000/month? $2,000? Saying that $500k doesn't go very far just because they have to have the $3,000,000+ house isn't likely to garner much sympathy.

Oh no, it's going to take a couple of years to save up for the down payment on a $3 million house. How about not making enough to be able to save for a down payment on any house in the prime parts of the Bay Area!

$500k/yr is enough to buy a lot of luxuries that are denied to those making $50k/yr, and it's stupid to try and deny it.

But that's simple jealousy. Some software person at Google writing ad software isn't the one that moved manufacturing jobs out of America, nor do they have the power to bring them back.

The best they can do at stealing from the government is to cheat a bit on their taxes, or be a NIMBY after they've bought that house.
Comparing Jagan and Burnham to (respectively) Trotsky and Stalin is extremely strange. Jagan was perceived as a threat to British interests in Guyana, Burnham was deemed acceptable if unreliable.

Britain sent warships and 700 troops to oust Jagan in 1953, suspending the constitution, and later worked (with the US) to ensure Jagan could not reach the top job again. To be clear, Jagan’s PPP had won 75% of the seats in a democratic election.

I love the idea, but I have tried this three times and failed each time.

Sure I was learning docker and ansible at the time, and I did get a little bit of 'tech suggestions' from those in the know.. (enable less things to start)

It seemed to install a lot of things and get close.. it could be because I was trying debian 10 when it was made for debian 9 or whatnot..

I just need to mention that as much as it may be an all easy solution for some, it does not always work and turned out to be a big time waster for me three times (although I'll chalk up learning some docker and ansible as not being time spent that I consider wasted) - it did delay me getting a matrix / element setup running.

I think nginx is doing some things different in latest debian as well that effed up some of the tutorials and chat support.

but it's been some months, maybe it works fine now on latest debian without issues, but my experience has shown it to be very finicky.
Most humans can't solve these problems, so it's certainly possible to imagine a legitimate AGI that can't either.

Very cool library. I like the goal of Excel support (it truly is an incredible platform). A couple of questions:

1) Any plans for programmatic manipulation of pivot tables? Looking across the Python ecosystem, outside of xlwings (which essentially requires FFI manipulation of a running instance of Excel), nothing else makes it possible. It does look like some .NET Excel libraries support it.

2) Will there be ability to use the engine as library? Would love to use something like this through Python bindings.

Well yeah if you don't know yourself well enough to know that you never want kids in the future, you obviously wouldn't get an irreversible procedure.

But everyone has a point after which they decide they don't want more kids and it's insane to force your partner to continue being responsible for that with all the downsides when you can just get a snip.

And if you're thinking you're gonna want kids 20 years from now as a man in his 30s or 40s or later, run that by your partner and see what she thinks about that.

The link identifies it as genetic. If there were no genetic component, there would be consistency, regardless of genetic lineage.

> They clearly do not "know" paths anymore than water "knows" what gravity is.

Knowing is a soft term, for which I provided a definition to answer a second order question. Diving into any further classification of "knowing", is a separate issue. The topic under discussion is not definitional knowing for other organisms. The topic is the genetic transfer of information, as per this article. Hence, graciously, it can be assumed that "knowing" is shorthand for this concept.
Yeah at this point it's almost jumping on a new hype bandwagon to "come up" with the idea of ambient audio based AI.

The kicker here though is since it's all driven by a phone in your pocket (a) it will either kill your battery or not be allowed at all by the platform, and (b) it has no camera, so it has no idea what you are actually seeing or looking at so it will be a second class citizen to all the versions of this that are camera enabled (such as, as you mention, the RayBans).
