But there's really nothing about chess that makes reasoning a prerequisite, a win is a win as long as it's a win. This is kind of a semantics game: it's a question of whether the degree of skill people observe in an LLM playing chess is actually some different quantity than the chance it wins.

I mean at some level you're saying that no matter how close to 1 the win probability (1 - epsilon) gets, both of the following are true:

A. you should always expect for the computation that you're able to do via conscious reasoning alone to always be sufficient, at least in principle, to asymptotically get a higher win probability than a model, no matter what the model's win probability was to begin with

B. no matter how close to 1 that the model's win rate p=(1 - epsilon) gets, because logical inference is so non-smooth, the win rate on yet-unseen data is fundamentally algorithmically random/totally uncorrelated to in-distribution performance, so it's never appropriate to say that a model can understand or to reason

To me it seems that people are subject to both of these criteria, though. They have a tendency to cap out at their eventual skill cap unless given a challenge to nudge them to a higher level, and likewise possession of logical reasoning doesn't let us say much at all about situations that their reasoning is unfamiliar with.

I also think, if you want to say that what LLMs do has nothing to do with understanding or ability, then you also have to have an alternate explanation for the phenomenon of AlphaGo defeating Lee Sedol being a catalyst for top Go players being able to rapidly increase their own rankings shortly after.
This is people's true desire. Make something like that while handling critisisms and fitting products to the market.
It seems the combativeness of Twitter has increased with it becoming more hivemindy, not the other way around. The people leaving twitter are generally less combative than those staying / joining, so I imagine it will devolve further into a pit of rabid fighting dogs.

Similarly, I expect Trump and Elon will have a falling out rather quickly. Two megalomaniacal narcissists don't generally play nicely for very long. When that happens, Elon won't be able to help himself from whacking the bees nest he's created, by criticizing Trump. I expect the combativeness of twitter to skyrocket soon afterwards.
It's not even possible to encode all forms of knowledge.
I’d bet it’s using function calling out to a real chess engine. It could probably be proven with a timing analysis to see how inference time changes/doesn’t with number of tokens or game complexity.
Focusing on the "worst ever" is sociopathic. These people do not want entertainment at all, they have a completely foreign agenda.

Out of frustration, and because this now validates what I was thinking but couldn't put my finger on, I sat an AI agent down to 100% tailor cover letters and which resume to use based on the description of the job in question.

Turns out none of that actually mattered if the whole point is to generate busy-work and turn HR into another function like sales/marketing afraid to lose their budget for the year, or even worse to evaluate market conditions poorly. This entire thing should be illegal with the study at hand as evidence to make it so.

My guess would be that the three-day timer is the first version to test the waters. Put it out there to see if there are any unexpected problems. And if everything's peachy, lower it in some future release to make it more secure.

If I had to wager a guess, and this is being conservative and fortunate, after about a year and exhausting unemployment you start staring into the wall and saying 'WTF' to yourself out loud. It's a bummer and discouragement is the last sort of thing that person needs at that point.
Why invest so much time and money in a feature that prevents such a small percentage of data breaches that it's not even categorized on the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report?

The vast majority of breaches are caused by credential theft, phishing, and exploiting vulnerabilities.

It doesn't matter that you can cryptographically verify that a package came from a given commit if that commit has accidentally-vulnerable code, or someone just gets phished.

So soon, all the democrats will be on BlueSky and all the republicans will be on X/Twitter?

Meanwhile us foreigners will have to maintain an account on both platforms to understand what our global overlords have decided for us today ;p

As an aside, my country has banned Twitter... yet everyone in the government, from the prime minister to the junior bureaucrat, uses twitter to issue announcements. They all use VPN. The whole thing is hilarious and sad. And I have to use VPN to find out if the road I'll go out yet is blocked or if we will have electricity today.

Basically, the international market is unlikely to move to BlueSky, then again I could be wrong.
It's marketing using buzz word rhetric. It's better to learn OOP if he trully think that. I also think OpenAI's PMF was to make the LLMs application towords better argument machine.
In general, when people say this sort of thing, if I dig into what exactly they're doing I discover they're importing half of npm/pypi/etc.

My PyPi dependencies are pinned to specific versions, and usually I have <10 (usually it's just Django and Django REST framework, sometimes it's even just Django).

Übermensch is a fairly new concept to me, you wrote "Overman," I think the context of Übermensch is about not being a pessimistic Christian. In the modern era, starting philosophically from cause and effect or a web of causation might be a more authentic approach towards a sane universal ethic.

It’s a cool idea and would work good for real world fines, too: fines that destroy the money paid instead of transfer it (to the city, the court, the police and so on). The fines would disincentivize bad behavior, while also not incentivizing the police to “go generate some crime” because it pays them.

It is likely in the same way that aliens are statistically likely. There is no evidence so far afaik, but you will likely never find out when it happens, and it can compromise the whole world if it were to happen to a widely used package.

How "Anonymous" can a founder get?
It's not for "avoiding the fame" or anything like most of these kind of posts say, its for security.

Let's say that the product this company releases could make some very bad people angry like cartels and multinational gangs.

What can a founder do in order to hide its personal information to avoid getting tracked by those people?

And just in case, assume that those people have connections to the goverment as in corruption, so even if only they have access to it, it will still get out.
I don't care who owns it, social media is a cancer. Decentralized social media is actually worse because it fragments information, which makes it harder to access, harder to collaborate on, hides subtle knowledge, and creates further in-groups and echo chambers.

What gets highlighted is almost never what is more intellectual, moral, factual, important, or curated. Instead it's whatever is entertaining, angering, scary, validating. It's a machine for capturing people's baser instincts and biases and weaponizing them to make people stupid and reactive.

And it's designed to be addictive. This isn't even just the "big" social media sites. Anything with a "feed" or "endless scroll" is designed to hook you, keep you there, keep you engaging. Cigarettes may not be your drug of choice, but TikTok may be.

Go ahead and quit social media. You know what people almost universally report? They feel calmer. Happier. Healthier. Less scared. They have more free time. It's a weight off their shoulders. Now imagine the opposite of all that, affecting nearly everyone connected to the internet. Imagine what that does over decades.

This machine is eroding society. In the future, we're going to find out that social media was worse than cigarettes. The addictive habit that slowly destroys lives - even nations - over decades.

I'm not the only person who has had friends have nervous breakdowns from social media. This is a pubic health emergency, but we're treating it like its politics. Politics is just a symptom of the greater disease: an epidemic of manipulation machines designed to ruin our health for clicks. The machine doesn't even know it's doing this to us. It's just doing what it was programmed to do. And we lap it up, like so many flies wandering into the fly trap.
We are creating a desktop application for linux, windows and macos that overlays any active application, such as an IDE, allowing developers to link project files and access AI-powered code editing through a text box. Think of it as cursor but it can work in any application, enabling you to make ai code autocomplete or edit in any text box using your mouse.When an edit is needed, users can press Control + K at their current typing position in any text box to request an edit, which will be applied directly via mouse control in that text box.
> Fundamentally, Google’s argument is that it should not have to pay Microsoft when it builds and offers cloud services using our intellectual property – namely Windows Server – if customers have otherwise purchased the same software for a very different use, i.e., on their own server.

Wait, hang on, astroturfing aside, I think I'm on Google's side here. If I bought a Windows server license, and I want to use that license on a server in GCP/Azure/AWS, why should I have to buy another one?
A pattern is a structured way of working around a language deficiency. Good code does not need patterns or architecture, it expresses the essence of the actual business problem and no more. Such software is also significantly easier to maintain if you measure maintainability against how much functionality the software implements rather than how many lines of code it is. Unfortunately the latter is very common, and there is probably a bright future in using LLMs to edit masses of LLM-copy-pasted code as a poor man's substitute for doing it right.
The “run immediately” setting mentioned in the parent comments prevents this. I did this recently on my phone and can confirm it works.

"Almost" doing a lot of heavy lifting. Elon is censoring plenty of things, not just things you care about:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/15/elon-m...

There are many more examples.

I think you may be confusing "heavily-censored" with an entity following laws and their own internal ethics (taking down revenge porn, ...), and trying to cultivate some measure of decency.

The current owner has turned twitter into a different kind of echo-chamber; one running rampant with grotesque language, crude behavior, and childish name calling. Those traits are mirrored in the owner and the individual he helped get elected.

Not an app, but some USB testers (e.g. POWER-Z KM003) can do this by reading an e-Marker chip on the cable. I'm not sure if there's a way to access eMarker purely through software without some sort of driver support, though.
Have you considered consulting a dictionary or other authoritative source on echo-chamber's definition?

The US isn't even treating adults like young adults. Everyone is an infant these days. There was a YouTube video about the 10 commandments that said "Thou shall not kill" and it was demonetized because it "involved violence" and never corrected even once YouTube knew the problem. There is a list of thousands of words you cannot say or talk about without getting your channel banned or demonetized. YouTube is not alone in this either, its everywhere. Banks, PayPal, Patreon, they are all blackballing people. In fact most of the large tech companies use the same third party moderation and will end up banning the same person across all channels at once if you end up on their shit list.

We know from experience with different humans that there are different types of skills and different types of intelligence. Some savants might be superhuman at one task but basically mentally disabled at all other things.

It could be that the model that does chess well just happens to have the right 'connectome' purely by accident of how the various back-propagations worked out to land on various local maxima (model weights) during training. It might even be (probably is) a non-verbal connectome that's just purely logic rules, having nothing to do with language at all, but a semantic space pattern that got landed on accidentally, which can solve this class of problem.

Reminds me of how Daniel Tammet just visually "sees" answers to math problems in his mind without even knowing how they appear. It's like he sees a virtual screen with a representation akin to numbers (the answer) just sitting there to be read out from his visual cortex. He's not 'working out' the solutions. They're just handed to him purely by some connectome effects going on in the background.

I'd disagree slightly. Users did not have the high bandwidth always on connections then that they do now. Images were nice but were also avoided as they made pages "slow". The main reason lightboxes and other clickable thumbnails came into existence.

Well I try to make sure each topic/page has a unique tag, and then I tag keywords within that. So within a page I will tag with consistent generalizable tags like #docker, #blog, #security, #auth and then underneath those I will have more specific tags like #repository_name #author_name #equipment_name.

Its more of a tiered tagging style where there are more generalizable tags are parents of more specialised tags.

It might not be the best for everyone but my brain works well with it. I can usually derive what the parent tag would be from whatever topic I'm searching back up and then find the children notes/tags from there.

It is essentially keyword search that just somewhat organized.
I'd hope you're shipping _anti_-fraud models. Fraud models are abundant in fintech. On a side note, anyone who _really_ knows LLMs will be able to do your primitive fintech models with their eyes closed. You don't need a ton of skill to build a logistic regression model that runs at 14 qps. :-)
Lots of quadcopter flight controllers use 9DOF IMUs , with 3 gyros, 3 accelerometers, and 3 compasses. The absolute directional data from the compasses solves (at least most of) the angular/gyro drift.

The translational drift is harder for VR/AR headsets indoors. Drones can do sensor fusion with GPS and the accelerometers to solve translational drift from the accelerometers (or, for FPV drones, they just let the meatware compensate).
My opinion is that cookie banners are so bad because of GDPR and not getting rid of the cookie law when GDPR was enacted.

Then everybody kept their cookie banners around and folded GDPR requirements into it, making it more complex, and more necessary all over the place, and less likely for people to think do we need these cookies or not and do we need to show this banner because of fear of GDPR (potential fines are big!!)
I don't understand why they don't just double down on these #include <__fwd/vector.h> etc. headers. They fix everything. The only downside to them is I can't use them on a header that defines a class with std::vector member variables. But if they could make a small tweak to the language so that I could, then I'd take that over the promised modules revolution any day.
