What is the need for the runtime? I've ported exported ObservableHQ code to plain JS, and the runtime bits were a lot of hard-to-read indirection. Lots of calling into function references with strings identifying the parameter names.

It seems like it might provide some kind of reactive signal abstraction, but modern signal libraries, and the TC39 Proposal, seem to do this in a lower-level and more ergonomic way.

it is in fact helpful because it reveals that the problem cannot in fact be fixed at the developer layer, and having that knowledge is the first step down a road towards an actual solution rather than endless bike shedding about whether it is okay to copy paste a function body.

> Gmail spam prevention is great for the Google Apps orgs I manage.

Gmail is unlikely to let spam through.

But that doesn't make its spam filter great; it's also very prone to blocking personal communication on the grounds that it must actually have been spam. The principle of gmail's spam filter is just "don't let anything through".

It would be much better to get more spam and also not have my actual communications disappear.

> I know you believe a priori the West is essentially Good and communism is essentially Bad, because that is what we are taught in school.

I think you're attacking a strawman here, what OP is pointing out for the faults of the West, it is still a preferable choice in comparison to the brutality the Communists performed on on their own people. It's ironic really because the Cultural Revolution, the Great Leap Forward very much is a difficult thing to ignore, if at all neccessary given that Asian Tigers that China modeled itself from, in Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan did not have to resort to such policies to achieve their wealth.
My understanding is that they were always in Russian control, kind of like how the US keeps nuclear assets at overseas bases.

Not only did the Russians have the codes, but they had soldiers in physical control with the ability to scuttle the devices.
If that were true, you wouldn't be able to buy multiple vehicles for under $18,000, which would have been a $10,000 vehicle at the turn of the century. How many $10,000 cars do you remember from 2000? I was in the market for my 3rd car by then and I can tell you the answer was zero. Cars are actually cheaper today than they've ever been DESPITE the increased safety and emissions features and you are exactly wrong in your claim.

The fact that most cars are priced at $60K doesn't mean cars cost that much to make, it means that the US car makers have decided to stop caring about poor people, leaving them to the used market while they go luxury, chasing ever higher margins from a smaller and smaller but ever-wealthier consumer.

Again, if safety or emissions requirements drove up prices, how is it legal for Nissan, Mitsubishi, Kia/Hundai and others to sell cars that cost under $10K in 2000 dollars when you couldn't buy new in 2000 for anywhere close to that? Just because Ford and GM WONT compete there doesn't mean competing there is cost prohibitive.

> From the system's POV maybe this is the right way to resolve the problem. Could masking the failure by obscuring this flight's waypoint problem have resulted in a potentially conflicting flight not being tracked among other flights? If so, maybe it's truly urgent enough to bring down the system and force the humans to resolve the discrepancy.

Flagging the error is absolutely the right way to go. It should have rejected the flight plan, however. There could be issues if the flight was allowed to proceed and you now have an aircraft you didn't expect showing up.

Crashing is not the way to handle it.
> He said it would be "ended", meaning the one thing that it obviously means -- that it would be shut off.

When Biden said that he was talking next to the person with the power to legally shut it off, the German chancellor. If he and Biden were in agreement on that point, that Nord Stream would be shut off if Russia invaded Ukraine, why did Biden say that explicitly but not Scholz, even after being asked directly by the journalists present?
If they were not in agreement on that point, how could Biden promise that they would put an end to it?

Agreed.

Yes, but it’s more complex than that! If you ask “who is Tom Cruise’s mother” you will get a much more robust response than asking “who is Mary Lee Pfeiffer’s son?”.

It’s not just negation that models struggle with, but also reversing the direction of any arrow connecting facts, or wandering too far from established patterns of any kind. It’s been studied scientifically and is one of most fascinating aspects because it also reveals the weaknesses and flaws of human thinking.

Researchers are already trying to fix this problem by generating synthetic training data that includes negations and reversals.

That makes you wonder: would this approach improve the robustness of human education also?

These are knobs that you can tune to make the graph construction more/less opinionated. Generally speaking, the more we make it opinionated the better it fits the task.

At a high-level:

(1) Domain: allows you to "talk to the graph constructor". If you care particularly about one aspect of your data, this is the place to say it. For reference, take a look at some of the example prompts on our website (https://circlemind.co/)

(2) Example Queries: if you know what class of questions users will ask, it'd be useful to give the system this information so that it will "keep these questions in mind" when designing the graph. If you don't know which kinds of questions, you can just put a couple of high-level questions that you think apply to your data.

(3) Entity Types: this has a very high impact on the final quality of the graph. Think of these as the types of entities that you want to extract from your data, e.g. person, place, event, etc

All of the above help construct the knowledge graph so that it is specifically designed for your use-case.

> You know, NATO reason to exists is to unite a front against Russia

That’s not what NATO says: “NATO’s essential and enduring purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of all its members. It does this through political and military means, ensuring the collective defence of all Allies, against all threats, from all directions. [...] NATO strives to secure a lasting peace in Europe and North America, based on its member countries’ common values of individual liberty, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.”

https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_68144.htm

Furthermore, I would suggest that the history of actual NATO action, particularly since “Russia” came back into existence as a sovereign entity not under the umbrella of the USSR, is more consistent with the offically-stated purpose than “to unite a front against Russia.”

It's true that in the last decade or so Russia has become, as the USSR had been for most of NATO’s existence, the primary threat to NATO’s purpose.
I would say that this is more just one of the things I'm experimenting with :)

I think some of the complaints in the article were about websites using User Agent string to detect compatibility, rather than individual feature sniffing.

IANAL but self-reporting would not likely benefit you; I would try to be as ignorant as possible about the wood type and its source. Knowing and not reporting might also be a crime. Unfortunately much of the US federal bureaucracy is more interested in prosecution than in justice.
You’re asking me to defend a position I don’t entirely agree with now, which is always dangerous…

I believe the argument is that deliberately killing another person is always wrong. It does’t matter if it’s in self defense - taking a life is such a morally abhorrent thing to do that it’s always indefensible. It’s always murder.

Some who wouldn’t go that far would still argue that for police to do it - people who are in a position of power, and who should know there are risks associated with the job of protecting society - is indefensible even if it would not be for a regular person.

Not my position - self defense if you know you’d otherwise die is, I think, morally justified. But I can see the argument.
> one of the worst pieces of IE 6's reign of terror: the stagnation.

This is the thing that I think developers today don’t seem to be able to get their head around. There was a fourteen year time period between Internet Explorer 6 being released and when it dropped out of usage worldwide. Even if you only had to support the USA, it was still eleven years. People could go their entire careers without ever knowing what it was like not having to support it. It paralysed front-end development for more than a decade.

You misunderstood: The problem isn't private enterprise, it's organized crime.

It's the conversion of public property for pennies on the dollar. It's theft and graft, except it will be legitimized by the government and supreme court. And you'll never get it back, because that would be considered "nationalization" of private property.

It was Putin's playbook after the collapse of the (orchestrated?) collapse of the Soviet Union - and they're apparently reusing it for the US as well.

Sorry Dang, but that was not related to nationalistic flamewar - I do not see how. Edit: well, it could have kindled fire with a different public, but you did a good job in educating this one...

About Crimea, it seemed that the poster proposed a clear-cut situation, to which I replied with a prestigious example of disagreement: Gérard Chaliand. That has nothing to do with any nationalism. It just happen to be a position (an intellectual position) that some nationalists will appreciate more than others - but that is just a coincidence. The intellectual in question is French; the rebuttal from Aguaviva is appreciated.

The latter part of the post from Romwell, I honestly and not without some reason mistook for a statement that "if you are a citizen for nation N, democratic, then you are responsible for the actions of your governments". Being that a twisted idea, that Romwell in the end does not hold but as I also specified later some people do hold, I countered it. Again, this does not seem to be to be especially tied to nationalism.

It seems to me that we all discussed in very civilized manner - rhetoric aside. (From my post replying to Romwell on, I mean.)

If I am missing any detail (as I seem to be), please indicate.

Edit: Dang, are you simply afraid that people will "trigger"? If so, I think this branch proves otherwise... It seems to show that we are able to discuss quite rationally (well, with these members we have been lucky).

I ran a couple needle-in-a-haystack type queries with just a 32k context length, and was very much not impressed. It often failed to find facts buried in the middle of the prompt, that were stated almost identically to the question being asked.

It's cool that these models are getting such long contexts, but performance definitely degrades the longer the context gets and I haven't seen this characterized or quantified very well anywhere.

It does not seem reasonable when you put it like that, but when could it be said with confidence that it only affected just one flight plan? I get the impression that it is only in hindsight that this could be seen to be so. On the face of it, this was just an ordinary transatlantic flight like thousands of others, with no reason to think there was anything unusual about it to make it more vulnerable than the rest - and really, there was not, it just had an unlucky combination of parameters.

In general, the point where a problem first becomes apparent is not a guideline to its scope.

Air traffic control is inherently a coordination problem dependent on common data, rules and procedures, which would seem to limit the degree to which subsystems can be siloed. Multiple implementations would not have helped in this case, either.

One neat thing about the AUNN idea is that when you operate at the function level, you get sort of a neural net version of lazy evaluation; in this case, because you train at arbitrary indices in arbitrary datasets you define, you can do whatever you want with tokenization (as long as you keep it consistent and don't retrain the same index with different values). You can format your data in any way you want, as many times as you want, because you don't have to train on 'the whole thing', any more than you have to evaluate a whole data structure in Haskell; you can just pull the first _n_ elements of an infinite list, and that's fine.

So there is a natural way to not just use a minimal bit or byte level tokenization, but every tokenization simultaneously: simply define your dataset to be a bunch of datapoints which are 'start-of-data token, then the byte encoding of a datapoint followed by the BPE encoding of that followed by the WordPiece encoding followed by ... until the end-of-data token'.

You need not actually store any of this on disk, you can compute it on the fly. So you can start by training only on the byte encoded parts, and then gradually switch to training only on the BPE indices, and then gradually switch to the WordPiece, and so on over the course of training. At no point do you need to change the tokenization or tokenizer (as far as the AUNN knows) and you can always switch back and forth or introduce new vocabularies on the fly, or whatever you want. (This means you can do many crazy things if you want. You could turn all documents into screenshots or PDFs, and feed in image tokens once in a while. Or why not video narrations? All it does is take up virtual indices, you don't have to ever train on them...)
Zero substance? It was reported by Ukrainska Pravda (and Ukraine is far from being famous for its freedom of press) not by some Russian propaganda outlet. It's the same as saying that WSJ citing "sources" has zero substance.

Regardless, you can believe that the West did not provide any assurance to Ukraine during the Istanbul talks and that Russia has blown its own pipeline. It's your right.
