"Bold R" and "Double-Lined R" (i.e. blackboard bold) are semantically equivalent. As your next paragraph hints toward, the purpose of the second one is to be distinguishable from the regular italic or Roman R in handwriting (or on a typewriter).

"Fake-Handwritten R" is an extra fancy calligraphic version which is not hard to distinguish. The Fraktur R is a pain to write, but you can write an upright "Re" as an alternative.

The basic issue is that using single symbols for variables is very convenient (both more concise and less ambiguous than writing out full or abbreviated words when writing complicated mathematical expressions), but there are infinitely many possible variables and only a small set of symbols.
> We don't have a rough understanding of the biological processes that cause this,

Yes we do. We know how neurons communicate, we know how they are formed, we have great evidence and clues as to how this evolved and how our various neurological symptoms are able to interact with the world. Is it a fully solved problem? no.

> unless you literally mean just the biological process and not how it actual impacts learning/intelligence.

Of course we have some understanding of this as well. There's tremendous bodies of study around this. We know which regions of the brain correlate to reasoning, fear, planning, etc. We know when these regions are damaged or removed what happens, enough to point to a region of the brain and say "HERE." That's far, far beyond what we know about the innards of LLM's.

> here's no evidence that we (brains) have achieved AGI, unless you tautologically define AGI as our brains.

This is extremely circular because the current definition(s) of AGI always define it in terms of human intelligence. Unless you're saying that intelligence comes from somewhere other than our brains.

Anyway, the brain is not like a LLM, in function or form, so this debate is extremely silly to me.
Future headlines after a browser compliance law made - “EU is destroying innovation!”
I don't think one model is statistically significant. As people have pointed out, it could have chess specific responses that the others do not. There should be at least another one or two, preferably unrelated, "good" data points before you can claim there is a pattern. Also, where's Claude?
I never liked that joke. Obviously, as an individual, you can't eat an elephant in small bites, as (assuming it's dead) it will start spoiling very soon after you started biting into it (and if it's still alive, you might have an even bigger problem).

So the actual solution would probably involve a lot of logistical planning and preparation on how you would carve it efficiently and then refrigerate and/or distribute all the pieces.

Not doing so, and only thinking one bite at a time, would be a massive waste of the elephant.
Tell that to Emanuel Macron, who has openly said that the EU might literally die functionally, if not politically, in just 2-3 years due to sheer economic lack of competitiveness.

"Our former model is over. We are overregulating and underinvesting. In the two to three years to come, if we follow our classical agenda, we will be out of the market."

"If we want clearly to be more competitive and have our place in this multipolar order; first, we need a simplification shock."

"The EU could die, we are on a verge of a very important moment."

The answer is simple, mobile and relative layouts. GUI builders are easy when you can just use absolute positioning for everything (see Retool and the dozens of Retool clones). They become insanely complex when you can't.
People blame the cookie banners themselves or the legislation that "made them necessary" but somehow never seem to blame the web companies for doing the naughty things on their websites that make them subject to the law.

The "cookie banner problem" exists because it's primarily end users that are shouldering the burden of them, and not the companies. For the company, it's a one time JIRA ticket for a junior software engineer to code up a banner. For everyone else, it's thousands of wasted seconds per year. Make the law hit companies where it hurts: their balance sheets.

And by hitting that ”deny” button, you have ”consented” to hundreds if not thousands of data brokers around the world processing all your personal data gathered throughout your life across all your devices. They can now freely buy your data from other brokers to enrich their profile of you.

Next, they will resell that profile to political campaigns, advertisers, law enforcement, private dicks and security providers, the military, foreign intelligence services and drug cartel hit squads, to name a few. You could buy it too! Or your friends, enemies, neighbors, colleagues, bosses…
Why is your criteria for "on the path towards AGI" so absolutist? For it to be on the path towards AGI and not simply AGI it has to be deficient in some way. Why does the current failure modes tell you its on the wrong path? Yes, it has some interesting failure modes. The failure mode you mention is in fact very similar to human failure modes. We very much are prone to substituting the expected pattern when presented with a 99% match to a pattern previously seen. They also have a lot of inhuman failure modes as well. But so what, they aren't human. Their training regimes are very dissimilar to ours and so we should expect some alien failure modes owing to this. This doesn't strike me as good reason to think they're not on the path towards AGI.

Yes, LLMs aren't very good at reasoning and have weird failure modes. But why is this evidence that its on the wrong path, and not that it just needs more development that builds on prior successes?
He was clutching at straws. He's famous for random tangents and non sequiturs. He was comparing himself to Colonel Travis at the Battle of the Alamo in the next breath. I just thought it was funny/weird that Linux, of all things, jumped into his mind as an example to use during his rant.
It’s not fair to ask me to judge them based on their size. I’m judging them based on the claims of their vendors.

Anyway the novel problems I’m talking about are extremely simple. Basically they’re variations on the “farmer, 3 animals, and a rowboat” problem. People keep finding trivial modifications to the problem that fool the LLMs but wouldn’t fool a child. Then the vendors come along and patch the model to deal with them. This is what I mean by whack-a-mole.

Searle’s Chinese Room thought experiment tells us that enough games of whack-a-mole could eventually get us to a pretty good facsimile of reasoning without ever achieving the genuine article.
You might try to argue many types of cookies are non-essential - but that would be because you lack experience in this domain.

Website operators have a right to study how people use their website just the same as a brick-and-mortar operator has the right to study how customers navigate their store isles.

Lastly - the EU and it's laws don't matter. What are they going to do about non-compliant foreign websites? Nothing.

> for websites requiring a login

They don't need consent for that.

> reliant on ads

Yes. For me, this has been eye-opening about how many different ad agencies there are snooping on my browsing history. It was bad enough when it was just the (UK) government passing a law to do that, now I've got websites with more "trusted partners" monitoring my every move than my high school had students.

> This is a nothing to hide argument

"Don't store PII" does not seem to be that, to me?

If anything, the opposite party gets that criticism, given that the default is allowing private agencies to spy on everyone?
This is an example of the potential double-edged sword of passing legislation without input from lobbyists. On one hand, without an industry voice, they passed an amazingly ambitious set of protections. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like there was a technical industry expert who warned them of the implications.

(I say that, but the EU bureaucrats that passed this law may actually see the immense numbers of popups as a win still - who knows).

A revision is patently obvious to seemingly everyone - revise the law to instead mandate that websites respect the Do Not Track header, or at least have designed a more granular replacement. There's no reason you shouldn't just be able to set it once and your browser tracks it for you.
> H1b has demonstrably not suppressed software engineering wages at all.

That's simply impossible; it's basic economics.

There were no smartphones in 2000, so the Web was overvalued at that point in time... until we all started carrying the Web in our pockets in the form of a portable rectangle.

Given that this is the case, why can't this be analogously true of “AI” as well? There's plenty of reason to believe that we're hitting a wall, such that, to progress further, said wall must be overcome by means of one or more breakthroughs.
Unfortunately, even without consent banners, there's plenty of unnecessary clicking in this new golden age of (CSS) popups.

Large Language Models (LLMs) don’t fully grasp logic or mathematics, do they? They generate lines of code that appear to fit together well, which is effective for simple scripts. However, when it comes to larger or more complex languages or projects, they (in my experience) often fall short.
I would like to present my opinion that this amount of time is spent dealing with website malicious compliance with EU rules. And it is in general asking people to get tracked and present them with personalized track or share/sell the data to their partners. All of these does not happen and you don't have to do that if you don't track and collect information about your users. Well there are some genuine websites that needs that but I am talking about the general case.
The only notoriety this language has appears to be because of a naming clash, not for any legitimate technical merit.

While I appreciate your workarounds, the issue is not fixed. Almost everyone is going to keep clicking these stupid banners. It’s not okay, it’s not fixed until the rules are adjusted and we have less tracking and’s less pointless banners.
A lot of those hours might be saved if they mandate a “reject all cookies” button on the cookie banner.

I think I understand what you're trying to say, in that Infowars can be seen as a form of performance art or meta-humor. There might be some small number of people that enjoy the content as such, but the overwhelming majority of viewers do not and take Jones' words at face value regardless of whether there was humorous intent behind them. You can see this in the sales for his dubious-at-best supplements as these weren't bought as a gag, they were bought by people believing they would heal their ails.

This makes Jones' form of comedy (making the rather friendly assumption it was meant as such) irresponsible at best as it causes real-world harm and I doubt you'd disagree with me that comedy that negatively impacts people that did not make the decision to participate in it is not very good comedy at all.

> I've worked with two firms that have faced GDPR complaints. It's "up to", not "immediately on your first offence".

It's not specifically GDPR - it's the degree of overregulation in every sector, for almost every aspect of doing business. I was also speaking facetiously about large companies in particular - for example, just 12 hours ago, Facebook got hit with another $700 million fine. You don't have to be Facebook for the chilling effect. Or, the EU's stuff with Apple, the $12 billion fine against the will of Ireland, which has Apple assessing the profitability of even being in Europe.
Alex Jones still owes $1.5 billions to the people he wronged, he's never buying anything ever again.

This is just more tokens? And probably requires the model to learn about common groups. Consider, "ess" makes sense to see as a group. "Wss" does not.

That is, the groups are encoding something the model doesn't have to learn.

> never seem to blame the web companies for doing the naughty things on their websites

Part of the problem is that the law didn't seek to distinguish between tame first-party cookies and the really naughty third-party cookies so the burden is equal regardless of how malicious the service is.

> For the company, it's a one time JIRA ticket for a junior software engineer to code up a banner.

This is actually not true. There's a lot more that goes into a cookie banner than you might realize, and there's now an industry dominated by a small handful of players (Osano vs OneTrust)

Tough. On one hand, sure, stealing others' work (software) is a shitty thing to do. On the other hand, science is science. Their findings are no less valid due to what software they used.

I'm not arguing anything, read the directives and implementations yourself, then get back to me. While some might lack experience, others seem to lack reading comprehension. That's fine, we can always learn :)

> Website operators have a right to study how people use their website

In the EU, that depends. As a website operator at a certain scale, you cannot do whatever you want with personal data.

> Lastly - the EU and it's laws don't matter. What are they going to do about non-compliant foreign websites? Nothing.

Yeah, I mean that's cool and all, but maybe you're spending time discussing in the wrong HN submission then? I don't go around in submissions about "Golang is bad" commentating how you wouldn't have those issues if you didn't use Golang in the first place. Not my idea of curious conversation at all.

Obviously EU directives and laws apply in EU
> They’d be supplanted by foreign competitors. That’s the actual stalemate.

Most of the ad trackers I'm aware of are already foreign to the EU, so that doesn't seem to be even an economic threat from the EU's perspective.
They don't technically even need a banner per se, just respect the user's "do not track" browser setting, or put it in a settings screen, or don't use any 3rd party trackers.

But a lot of businesses assume they need to ask permission for placing any cookies, which is simply not correct. Local analytics tracking is fine, it's only when the user can be tracked across multiple separate websites that they need explicit permissions. And the user should not be annoyed into making that decision.
That's why they created DoNotTrack initially. Then browsers turned that on by default, ad revenue lowered, and sites/adcompanies decided to ignore it because it was turned on by default.
This is standard hospital. Rest is the healer but they will not let you rest. Tests and loud noises, endlessly. It is quite insane.
I'd imagine India will gradually crack down on it more over time. The tech industry there is growing massive and they surely aren't happy about being associated with scammers.

> Website operators have a right to study how people use their website just the same as a brick-and-mortar operator has the right to study how customers navigate their store isles.

I think reasonable people can disagree about this, and if enough reasonable people think that a web site operator should not have that "right" then they should be able to pass legislation to curtail it.

As a user, I say I should have the right to control what data is collected by what company, and what they should be allowed to do with it. I should be empowered to decide what kind of data is "essential" for a company to collect about me, not the company. Reasonable people could disagree with me, too. These are not laws of physics.
> That is how they can also handle input in audio or visual forms because there is an audio or visual tokenizer.
