I have to deal with bouts with amnesia myself due to a dissociative disorder - this would be a really good appliance just to be able to see reminders to myself and also reminders from friends - relationships are really difficult to keep up with when its out of sight out of mind for anyone.

I'm working on a personal dashboard right now so I can have one space to leave notes for myself - I have the problem of not being able to consistently use the same tools since there are so many to reach out (social media, sms, chat apps, trello, physical notepads, .txt files). I frequently just fully forget that I've been taking notes every day, and where they're at. Building routines is, as one can imagine, really difficult. An app requires that I'm looking at my phone and can prioritize a notification. All the apps together are just too much to be able to prioritize, and I find myself hunting through all the apps for reminders or to try to ground myself.
These are two separate problems. The agents are still useless, and I am glad that tenants don’t need to pay them.

However you are right. We need more apartments. The population is growing and they need a place to live. If you want to solve the aging population problem through immigration, you need to house those immigrants somewhere.

Ever heard of LISP?

I think there's a ton to be tapped based on the current state of the art.

As a developer, I'm making much more progress using the SOTA (Claude 3.5) as a Socratic interrogator. I'm brainstorming a project, give it my current thoughts, and then ask it to prompt me with good follow-up questions and turn general ideas into a specific, detailed project plan, next steps, open questions, and work log template. Huge productivity boost, but definitely not replacing me as an engineer. I specifically prompt it to not give me solutions, but rather, to just ask good questions.

I've also used Claude 3.5 as (more or less) a free arbitrator. Last week, I was in a disagreement with a colleague, who was clearly being disingenuous by offering to do something she later reneged on, and evading questions about follow up. Rather than deal with organizational politics, I sent the transcript to Claude for an unbiased evaluation, and it "objectively" confirmed what had been frustrating me. I think there's a huge opportunity here to use these things to detect and call out obviously antisocial behavior in organizations (my CEO is intrigued, we'll see where it goes). Similarly, in our legal system, as an ultra-low-cost arbitrator or judge for minor disputes (that could of course be appealed to human judges). Seems like the level of reasoning in Claude 3.5 is good enough for that.

Yes there are a million fantastical scenarios one could imagine. But they are all incredibly implausible compared all of the mundane, boring non-alien alternatives:

* People getting bored and imagining things (“seeing faces in the clouds” so to speak)

* People being primed to see something (they read about other “UFO” sightings) and then, of course, they “see it” too

* People wanting to believe something for tangential ideological or social reasons — the government is corrupt and is hiding things -> UFOs must exist!

* People literally just making things up (they want attention, money, want to one-up someone, want to be special, have unregulated emotions, etc)

* Faulty / mis-calibrated sensors

* Data corruption / misinterpretation

* It was just a bird / cloud / water vapor / reflection of sunlight / electrical short / optical illusion

* And so on

These are the types of “boring” things that are always the real explanation when someone starts talking about crazy shit like ghosts or aliens. Aliens and ghosts are cool and exciting so people don’t want to believe the boring reasons. We often want distractions in our lives, and what a fun distraction that would be, eh?

Wild and outlandish claims require overwhelming evidence.
I don’t know how to square this with the recent statement by Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO) on the Lex Fridman podcast saying that in his opinion the scaling hypothesis still has plenty of room to run.
The geo blocking directive doesn’t cover media and the EU is not interested in extending the cover.

However there are two issues here, first is that apps and services (with a few exceptions) are generally not allowed to be geo blocked unlike on demand media and live broadcasting and secondly and what is most likely the main issue here is that Apple using the country where the account is registered in rather than the location of the user at the time of service.

The former is a likely violation of the directive and the latter for sure is.

Right, at least as of the ~GPT3 model it was just "predict what you would see in a chess game", not "what would be the best move". So (IIRC) users noted that if you made bad move, then the model would also reply with bad moves because it pattern matched to bad games. (I anthropomorphized this as the model saying "oh, we're doing dumb-people-chess now, I can do that too!")
Can't imagine a worse alternative. The filesystem api is really good. For example, I use the google office suite entirely offline through the official extension that uses the filesystem api. You can edit a local file just like that.

Same goes for photopea.

You can't seriously suggest manual save as an alternative. Ctrl+S, choose file, do you want to overwrite, yes. That's way too much friction, come on.
Hex code doesn't allow you to write words. And "sum" is simply better than "Σ". There is no way to know in advance what the latter means, while for the former understanding of verbal English is enough. Mathematicians basically use an iconographic writing system like Chinese.

This is the kind of feedback I was looking for. These are not conditions that we are familiar with - and so the user interface for such things is not necesarily obvious. For example:

- I would expect that their and your mom did not forget how to use a web browser when they acquired short term memory issues. So a web browser interface (links, scrolling, buttons) might still be fine.

- I was surprised that in the posters' display, the date / time of each msg was not shown.

- I was susprised that there is no reminder "Mum, since an operation, you rarely form short term memories." Wouldn't it make sense that even that is not forming a memory?

- As you mention, remove the item or mention how it was resolved.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "reposting this on a discussion".

I've had plans for a while to put together a more complete blog post attempting to characterise the Unix command-line UX from my perspective and what deviations I find annoying in both command line tools and then also delving into annoyances I've had with things like clap specifically.

That being said, my blog is about as active as a senior year of '49 school reunion party so who knows when that will be. And not sure if that helps with the notification issue.

> The system has to change, randomly and unexpectedly. Entropy must accumulate.

Yes to the first two, but "has to fail over time" is something you are making up--not a law of physics.

Local decreases of entropy happen continually. Resilient, error-checking, self-healing systems are possible.
The world would be better off without most of that though. I want content not all the fluf and such.

I never attacked you, I said, quote "trump supporters" and "musk defenders". Do you identify with that? Because on one hand you say no, and on the other you say yes.

I answered your questions as best I could, but to be honest, I have very little patience on account of how stupid the questions were. I mean, it's not exactly groundbreaking news that Twitter is a dumpster fire and algorithms purposefully boost the most toxic content.

I'm working under the assumption you're playing stupid, which is actually rather charitable of me. The alternative would that you just are stupid.

But, because today I feel extra generous, I'll answer your incredibly naive question:

> Did you know you can unfollow him? How is this worse than where you get your news?

Social Media like X is specifically engineered to keep you on it via engagement. This means rage bait.

I know this because I've tried, very hard, to scrub my socials of politics. I am very disciplined, but even for me it is impossible. No matter what, I will get some pinhead saying women shouldn't vote or black people are genetically inferior. I can unfollow, I can click "not interested", doesn't matter.

The algorithm will, eventually, go back into showing me the most vile content imaginable, almost always extreme right-wing content.

The reason why is obvious - this content is extremely controversial and garners the most retention. Nobody cares about rainbows and butterflies, they care about skinheads and rapists.

The news, at least, does not feature this kind of content. The news, also, typically does not outright lie. Musk outright lies, almost always, but he's one example. If you go through the timeline of the typical right-wing pundit, almost none of their tweets are true.

The news isn't going to tell me Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs. Twitter, and evidently the president elect, will.

We have not exhausted what html can do either. LLMs not getting smarter is orthogonal to its currently unexplored search space.
Choosing lottery numbers strategically does make sense, because your expected value depends on both whether or not your number wins and on how many other people picked the same number.

A lot of people pick dates, or numbers that have won recently, or that form geometric patterns on the ticket, or that form interesting sequences, and so on.

Nothing you can do (assuming no bias in how the winning numbers are generated) will affect the chances your ticket wins, but by picking randomly from the set of possible tickets that doesn't include those commonly picked sets of numbers you can decrease the expected number of people you'll have to share the jackpot with.
> 1. Think about the current board 2. Think about valid possible next moves and choose the 3 best by thinking ahead 3.

Do these models actually think about a board? Chess engines do, as much as we can say that any machine thinks. But do LLMs?
Great list! For me it kind of highlights how saturated this space is.

Can anyone explain how InfoWars was sued and found guilty of free speech? There must be much more I’m not getting but although Jones sounds like an asshole I don’t think that’s illegal.

Why can’t someone sell an opinion that a tragedy didn’t actually exist and was created to push an agenda? It could be a provably false claim but don’t they have the right to make it? Isn’t being despicable a basic right?
Very much yes.

There's little reason to try to go straight for the final product when you don't know exactly how to get there, and that's frequently the case. Build toys to learn what you need efficiently, toss them, and then build the real thing. Trying to shoot for the final product while also changing direction multiple times along the way tends to create code with multiple conflicting goals subtly encoded in it, and it'll just confuse you and others later.
The readme stipulates several things which are allowed and not allowed. They are not disclaimers nor advice as worded when I read them. You can't ignore any stated terms and conditions you don't like. The terms an conditions apply no matter where they are written. The readme is no different than any other file, like for example comments in a random source file.

I did not say anything about attribution.
GPL3 already requires attribution and is not a problem.
Similarly my suggested CC-BY-SA includes BY.
To a more and lesser degree depending on the action, I try to apply "that rigor" to myself, at least?

And yes, I think the world would be better off if more people considered how their decisions impact others, if that's what you're getting at, but it's unrealistic to expect everyone to care about other people - and of course entirely impossible to account for ALL variables.
Yes. Definitely already needs a second edition. I would happily buy it.
One of the biggest challenges in learning how to use and build on LLMs is figuring out how to work productively with a technology that - unlike most computers - is inherently unreliable and non-deterministic.

It's possible, but it's not at all obvious and requires a slightly skewed way of looking at them.
C'mon guy, you seem smart. Use your brain and I bet you can answer your own question. Here's a hint: all else equal, I'd rather have you than a random non-vet in the role.
Very much a new-ish thing but quite pervasive. I see it all the time. Massive amounts of jobs are being posted to drive competition or to make the company look like they are growing, but there's no intention to hire anyone.
There contract with Microsoft allows them to break it when they achieve AGI but doesn't fully define it.

I ended up using multiple versions of basic because the various boot discs we had came with different versions. Off the top of my head I remember BASIC, BASICA, and QBASIC. Not that I remember the differences between the flavors any more.
To clarify, in summary so far LLM's can do a bit more than the inputs used for training. Example https://dynomight.net/chess/ as well as some coding solutions are a bit better than each input alone, although if the solution requires more than "a bit more" then LLMs start to hallucinate (spin the wheels). Time will tell if LLM's can jump this "a bit more" barrier? (I can not tell for sure yet, but the current knowledge and my NL tells me if I'd have to put a bet, it would be that the new approach/design is needed)
> On one hand, the author seems not up to date with how standards have changed at flagship journals post replication crisis. There are new editorial teams, new standards, and a new culture of avoiding past mistakes. Does this mean things are perfect? No, but that's any human endeavor.

But are the replication rates actually improving? That's all that matters. There are no points for effort here.
Hilarious! I mean horrible! No, hilarious.

Yet another interpretation that is so wildly disingenuous that I can't help but assume you're doing it intentionally just for the sake of trolling.

>... you admitted you found the videos...

At no point have I admitted that, and you know it. Your initial claim was that "CNN has called all conservatives Nazis for years". What I asked for was proof of CNN staff doing this, to which you said I would find it easily. What I explicitly said was, "I certainly see a couple of videos of CNN reporting on someone calling GOP fascists". That's all that I saw - a statement of fact that a popular public figure called someone in the GOP a fascist. It's called "reporting on something that happened", and is literally no different than FOX News reporting on a GOP rep calling Trump a fascist[1].

At no point in any of those clips does CNN itself - not anyone on their staff - directly call a conservative individual a fascist.

>... and my "claim" was that you would.

I'm still scrolling through YT results and not seeing these montages, nor CNN staff leaning in and repeatedly calling conservatives fascists. If you find them so easy to obtain, please feel free to hold my hand and pass one my way!

>So now you pivot to the definition of "easy to find", having ran out of other options.

No, what's happening is that you're intentionally twisting words around in an incredibly amateur attempt at putting some kind of "gotcha" together and, honestly, it's kinda sad. I'm starting to think that that joke someone else made about supplements impacting your critical thinking might not be too far off.

At any rate, it's clear to me that you can't have this discussion in good faith. Deuces, bud, enjoy the rest of your week.

Start charging commercial USDA users market fees set by auction instead of below market fees. A lot of surplus is going straight to commercial users of American land.

The current fee for grazing, for example, is $1.35 monthly per head, up from $1.23... in 1966. Time for these rural users to start paying their fair share!

/s

I'm mostly kidding, but articles like this pretending that the major costs of running the USFS and other public lands are on rec. users instead of commercial drive me nuts. These public lands are used for commercial extractive purposes at a loss all. the. time. Why is federal spending on public lands so far down, while more americans than ever (proportional and absolute) are using these resources for recreation?

OP had stockfish at its weakest preset.
This is a puzzle given enough training information. LLM can successfully print out the status of the board after the given moves. It can also produce a not-terrible summary of the position and is able to list dangers at least one move ahead. Decent is subjective, but that should beat at least beginners. And the lowest level of stockfish used in the blog post is lowest intermediate.

I don't know really what level we should be thinking of here, but I don't see any reason to dismiss the idea. Also, it really depends on whether you're thinking of the current public implementations of the tech, or the LLM idea in general. If we wanted to get better results, we could feed it way more chess books and past game analysis.
If that video really existed and was as shocking as they imply, they would have linked to it.
my friend pointed out that Q5_K_M quantization used for the open source models probably substantially reduces the quality of play. o1 mini's poor performance is puzzling, though.

I think that's the most plausible theory that would explain the sudden hike from gpt-3.5-turbo to gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct, and again the sudden regression in gpt-4*.

OpenAI also seem to augment the LLM with some type of VM or a Python interpreter. Maybe they run a simple chess engine such as Sunfish [1] which is around 1900-2000 ELO [2]?

How do you manage having thousands of tags? What is your use case? I quite quickly moved away from them because I couldn't have a strict/normalised system for it. E.g., I would end up with #a, #as, #<synonym of a>, #parent/as, etc. After a while of this, it would either reduce to nothing better than keyword search, or the effort of keeping track of existing tags and the "right" tags would prevent me from tagging at all.
