Nah, I've seen conservatives make similar statements when referencing Democrats before.

I've also done the same when referencing Democrats I disagree with politically, like the governer of WA I just voted for.

I think it's healthy to collaborate with or place trust in people you don't agree with in. In this case, we're talking about UAPs, which historically are associated with a lot of non-credible stories (imo) similar to Bigfoot chasers or Nessie believers. At this moment in politics, there's a lot of extremism and conspiratorial thinking with some of our elected leaders. One of our congresswomen literally claimed Jewish space lasers were influencing the weather. Some people apply heuristics when evaluating political viewpoints (I get it, there's a lot going on in the world and life is busy), so I wanted to call out in this case that the heuristic of "domain often associated with quacks" + "party which contains some prominent quacks" doesn't seem to match this situation or person.

Also, I'm an IC. I'm not worried about getting "cancelled" for any of my viewpoints. I'm a nobody, no one cares. You have to say some incredibly incensing stuff to get fired at my level just for expressing a belief outside of the workplace, unless the company sucks, in which case I'd be happy to leave anyway.

Question for the group here: do we honestly feel like we've exhausted the options for delivering value on top of the current generation of LLMs?

I lead a team exploring cutting edge LLM applications and end-user features. It's my intuition from experience that we have a LONG way to go.

GPT-4o / Claude 3.5 are the go-to models for my team. Every combination of technical investment + LLMs yields a new list of potential applications.

For example, combining a human-moderated knowledge graph with an LLM with RAG allows you to build "expert bots" that understand your business context / your codebase / your specific processes and act almost human-like similar to a coworker in your team.

If you now give it some predictive / simulation capability - eg: simulate the execution of a task or project like creating a github PR code change, and test against an expert bot above for code review, you can have LLMs create reasonable code changes, with automatic review / iteration etc.

Similarly there are many more capabilities that you can ladder on and expose into LLMs to give you increasingly productive outputs from them.

Chasing after model improvements and "GPT-5 will be PHD-level" is moot imo. When did you hire a PHD coworker and they were productive on day-0 ? You need to onboard them with human expertise, and then give them execution space / long-term memories etc to be productive.

Model vendors might struggle to build something more intelligent. But my point is that we already have so much intelligence and we don't know what to do with that. There is a LOT you can do with high-schooler level intelligence at super-human scale.

Take a naive example. 200k context windows are now available. Most people, through ChatGPT, type out maybe 1500 tokens. That's a huge amount of untapped capacity. No human is going to type out 200k of context. Hence why we need RAG, and additional forms of input (eg: simulation outcomes) to fully leverage that.

I don't know, this, to me, is the proper set of incentives. Nobody wants to lose money, so you better do everything you can to prevent these tragedies. If we just sob a little and move on, the systems in place will not change.

I'm sorry? I did, and I just skimmed over it again, and I still don't see where it says anything along the lines of "even when searching for the contents".

The only relevant piece I see in the article is this (emphasis mine):

> Browsers persist the contents of the OPFS to disk somewhere, but you cannot expect to find the created files matched one-to-one. The OPFS is not intended to be visible to the user.

And that matches how cookies and localStorage works. They aren't files either, they're in a SQLite database somewhere out there.

Can you please give me a quote where it says so?

Upd: There's Chrome (web.dev) article linked from MDN that explicitly mentions a way for end-user to browse this filesystem: https://web.dev/articles/origin-private-file-system#debug_th... - I'm pretty sure Firefox has (or will have, idk how mature is this standard) something similar.

How those files are stored on disk is an implementation detail. All article says that user should not expect them to match their local filesystem conventions, hinting that it's probably going to live in some kind of a database rather than match host filesystem conventions.

Upd2: I've checked out the demo (https://sqlite-wasm-opfs.glitch.me/) and it looks like, indeed, Firefox is missing an ability to introspect the storage at the moment. Or at least I don't see anything in DevTools on Firefox 131. This is disappointing and concerning, but I strongly suspect it's a bug/missing feature rather than a deliberate design decision.

Upd3: I see that demo's site data near-pristine content-wise under ~/.mozilla/firefox/$profile/storage/default/https+++sqlite-wasm-opfs.glitch.me/fs/... While filenames are nonsensical, the SQLite3 demo database (with that single table "t") that's created in OPFS is accessible in my host machine's filesystem verbatim:

I'm on the AWS Amplify team and wanted to give folks an update. First off, definitely empathize with the pain that Elliot went through. The referenced blog post is part of our advanced extensibility documentation, which covers how customers can use AWS CDK to add features that are not directly supported by the Amplify tooling, such as integrating with OpenSearch. Our initial OpenSearch extensibility documentation did not include the removalPolicy config, which led to the issues Elliot experienced. To mitigate this, we updated our documentation to include `removalPolicy: RemovalPolicy.DESTROY` for all stateful extensibility resources, ensuring they are cleaned up when the stack is deleted. Additionally, we will be updating the default behavior for `npx ampx sandbox` and `npx ampx pipeline-deploy` to apply this removal policy.
Influenced by DJ Kool Herc more than any of those, I would wager.

I was AFK all night after posting this, but I actually regret not acknowledging international contributions to techno music and culture, which was and is huge.

But I can't agree with this:

> Where it comes from is defined by where you draw a line in the sand.

There was a time before anyone called music 'techno', and a time after. That's the line, and the part of history which crossed that line happened in the Detroit Metro area. There's no disputing this.

Techno parties are all about having a good time and welcoming everyone, no matter who they are or where they're from. The music is absolutely a blend of influences from all over, and Germans took to it (hard!) for a reason. But roots is roots.
The RLHF is super important in generating useful responses, and that's relatively new. Does anyone remember gpt3? It could make sense for a paragraph or two at most.
Artificial lights also interfere with sleep. If you’ve ever been 100% off grid, or even a place where you have minimal phone usage and little artificial light you will feel sleepy more correlated with when the sun sets, even if it’s at 1800.

I’ve found blackout shades useful for when I’m not sleeping a schedule correlated with the sun (eg work at 4 am) or external artificial light (streetlamps).
Current 3rd-year vet student here.

I think there are two principles at play here. First, I suspect that veterinarians that go into practice as a whole prefer physical manifestations of their intelligence rather than abstract intangible prizes. This is similar to my story of starting vet school after doing bioinformatics.

Second, computer tinkering is similar to shade-tree mechanicing. I drive a car. I even know how to change my oil and can look up how to replace the alternator if I need to. I don't get much satisfaction out of working on my car, though, so I outsource (when I can afford it) to allow me to focus my time on things that drive my professional life forward or are pleasurable.

Add to these that current vet medical records software sucks, and it leads to extreme impatience, and even an expectation that computers don't work, and the cycle continues.
I doubt nature produces square granite, and certainly not hexagonal granite or even more complex shapes. Erosion affects fossilized skeletons more than granite, because granite is harder.
It encourages paying more wages, but it’s still a 20% giveaway to the business owners for paying themselves. I know that my own effective tax rate went down a couple percent when QBI took effect. If the idea behind the requirement to pay reasonable wages is to get more SS/Medicare tax revenue, then QBI more than offsets any gains. Plus the business owner can tweak their own numbers to determine what’s the most advantageous mix of W-2 vs K-1 income. It’s another advantage not available to regular wage earners.

"no health insurance" is the only thing in your list there that isn't hyperbole or a twisting of what was said. But anyway, again, no-one is arguing about whether 12,000/year "officially" is or is not below the poverty line, except you, with yourself.

Did you read the part about him having savings in bitcoin that wouldn't sustain him forever, but nonetheless for many, many years? If the bitcoin was worth 500,000, for example, would you then say "oh, that's a totally acceptable way to live now!", or would you still be belittling their life choices, insinuating there was something bad or wrong with it?

The problem with codifying hate speech (and, eventually, punishing for it) is that even today the existing definitions are extremely broad and subjective. UN's own definition includes the use of pejorative language, i.e. "disrespectful connotation, a low opinion, or a lack of respect" towards something. This is clearly illiberal, anti free-speech, and extremely dangerous (society-ending dangerous).
There are a great many reasons the game is referred to as "Spreadsheets in Space", and decisions from the developers related to the ingame inflationary and deflationary mechanisms have had sea-change effects on its day-to-day gameplay meta over the years.

TBH most of the above is true for most any MMO where the scale of player activity can directly affect the game economy, EVE is just the most famous example.
> "a pointer to an array of X" is simply "a pointer to X"

I don't believe these two are the same. An "array of X" indeed decays to a "pointer to X". But a "pointer to an array of X" is something else. E.g.

int foo[3]; // array of int
int *foo; // pointer to int
int *foo[3]; // pointer to array of int

Perhaps the first two are what you mean, though, and this is just a terminology issue.
It's relevant, because the standard of evidence would be much higher if it's a criminal trial vs. if it's a commission deciding whether or not to hand out a fine, where they have sole authority to do so. Meta could still maintain that it has done nothing wrong, in which case the article is right (and correct) to use the word 'alleged', since that's not been disproven. If they'd said 'guilty', they could open themselves up to legal trouble. I know nothing about the facts of this situation, to be clear.
Most people are trying to get more sleep and stay asleep past early morning / ambient light.

"Dang, my alarm woke me up at 8:30am while I was sleeping like a baby because of my blackout shades" doesn't sound like a problem anyone is having.
It's a great idea, and in Canada using the Koodo/Telus network you can turn on "call control" for free which does basically this, except it makes the caller enter a random number between 1-9. And you can also whitelist certain numbers like friends and family.

Thank you all for clarifying. So 80k/year is the key number.
I recently interviewed at Microsoft with a relatively well-known VP. I was surprised as I didn't think I was a fit in terms of domain experience, and then I was encouraged to apply online for another role with the same VP & team.

A week or two later I received rejection letters for both. It occurred to me that I might have been a stooge to make the VP's project look good on paper somehow.
I remember when Infowars started. I was using rense.com for my daily news fix and was thoroughly caught up in conspiracy theories and all number of speculation around aliens interbreeding with humans...way before it was cool.

When you hear it all for the first time in isolation as a young person it is VERY compelling. When your life is devoid of wealth it is even easier to go down the rabbit hole.

I used to read Alex Jones every day and was surprised to see it was still a thing in recent times and I was even more taken back at how looney it had become. Back in my day it was far more palpable. Alex Jones, Elon Musk are a few examples of what wealth, power and drugs can do to a human being. Power is the worst of all and I would never wish it on anyone.
I wish music books would do this too - I've been self-teaching myself a little classical guitar, and some of the scores I'm reading have various symbols that have taken me quite a while to figure out.

False. I have checked the numbers hours ago. The popular vote was 51% (3Mln votes margin in 150Mln); the electoral college results have been the 44th out of 60 - halfway through the lowest (38% for J.Q. Adams) and the median (69% for Clinton '92).

Yes, but literally anybody can do all those things. So while there will be many opportunities for new features (new ways of combining data), there will be few business opportunities.

Perhaps the tokenizer is the entire problem? I wonder how the chat-based LLMs would perform if you explained the move with text, rather than chess notation? I can easily imagine that the "instruct" LLM uses a specialized tokenizer designed to process instructions, similar in many ways to chess notation.

Use cases fetching counts directly in the path of Netflix users/streaming, e.g. user-personalization, feature-gating > what features are shown when you load the home page, dictated by how many times these have been shown before for a given device. The article hints at this in the beginning. Also, there were some initial use cases related to interactive titles, details of which can't be publicly shared [although that is winding down now]
They did, if even indirectly. Just like how McDonald's holds some responsibility for the obesity epidemic.

The company that makes rifles makes them to be sold. It is in the company's best interest that as many mass shootings happen as possible. By providing guns, they DID contribute to the tragedy. We can tell, because if they had never produced that gun then it would've never shot anyone.

This doesn't even touch on the fact that the reason gun laws are so lax is because these companies lobby for it to be so. Again, they are incentivized to cause as many people to die as possible. Incentives matter. If mass shootings were the next blue jeans, these companies would quickly overthrow Apple.

Blame is very hard and tricky, but any institution or system in place is responsible for an intuitional failure. And that's what mass shootings are - an institutional failure.
> Put another way, LLMs make the easy stuff easier, but royally screws up the hard stuff.

This is my experience with generation as well - but I still don't trust it for the easy stuff and thus the model ends up being a hindrance in all scenarios. It is much easier for me to comprehend something I'm actively writing so making sure a generative AI isn't hallucinating costs more than me just writing it myself in the first place.

The Snopes article you reference (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/) contains in itself a clarification from the editor, to whit:

"""
Editors' Note: Some readers have raised the objection that this fact check appears to assume Trump was correct in stating that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the Charlottesville incident. That is not the case. This fact check aimed to confirm what Trump actually said, not whether what he said was true or false. For the record, virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right debacle concluded that it was conceived of, led by and attended by white supremacists, and that therefore Trump's characterization was wrong.
"""

Given that the Unite the Right rally was organized by overt white supremacists, white-supremacist-adjacent organizations, and people comfortable with rallying with those groups, it is an understandable inference a person could draw that when Trump claims a set of people is "fine people" and the set is as above described, there is no daylight between what he said and a claim that white supremacists are "fine people" (because excluding the people he overtly says he isn't talking about leaves the empty set... i.e. he either meant to say Nazis were fine people or he made a statement that is a logical contradiction, so if one's benefit of the doubt comes down on the side of "he isn't a befuddled man who contradicts himself with three sentences," one assumes the non-illogical statement supporting Nazis as fine people).

This train of thought is predicated upon how much one buys into the old saw that "everyone sitting comfortably at a table with one Nazi is called Nazis." But if you wish to understand the train of thought that leads to an alternate interpretation of his words, that is the train of thought.

(Similar logic applies to the "drink bleach" comment. He didn't literally suggest people drink bleach. In addition to his comments on UV therapy, he also opined on how effective bleach is as a cleansing agent and whether it would be possible to somehow apply it inside the human body... Which anyone who knows basic chemistry knows is mad. He just says things, which are open to being interpreted in the worst possible light.)

With respect, you seem to be trying to tell people that words aren't open to interpretation when they do not share your interpretation of the literal words they heard, and that's probably a non-starter argument. It is probably not an optimal way to "converse curiously."
He didn't lose his entire business for being wrong. He lost his entire business for being wrong, doubling down on being wrong in light of contradictory evidence, tripling down on the doubling down, being sued, ignoring the lawsuit, having a default judgment rendered against him, getting to a trial-based penalties phase, and performing so badly on the stand (along with a major error on the part of his lawyer, but one the law accounts for and has a process to ameliorate, which the lawyer did not follow) that a jury of his peers awarded a $1.5 billion dollar finding against him.

If anything, the takeaway from this story is that the United States Court System is still a system of law and when they demand your attention, you ignore that demand at your peril.

> Do you think CNN should be sued out of existence?

Perhaps it should give us pause that nobody they are ostensibly calling Nazis can make a defamation case stick against them. And to corroborate your point: perhaps whether or not they lie, the public opinion already holds them accountable so no legal action is needed. But to properly answer the hypothetical: they retain a legal department in preparation for such lawsuits. Perhaps Jones should have done that, since he had quite a bit of spare money to spend on engaging with the law of the land he lives in. Instead, he chose to flout the authority of that legal system, to his loss.
