I'm just thrilled to read something that's not peppered with the blandest AI art imaginable.
The NES Marble Madness port (and probably others) had a choice of control schemes, where the D-Pad is either mapped directly to the screen (Down is down) or mapped at a 45 degree angle (Down is down-right). I never could wrap my head around the latter, but I can see the benefit given the stage layout mostly uses 45 degree paths.
Types are only nicer on the left when it isn't also annotated with all the other static constexpr [[nodiscard]] nonsense. And left types are actually greppable seperately from variable declarations.

Having both left and right types is stupid, but as a whole right types are easier to deal with

I have to disagree. It is not about reputation. No service company has a reputation any more. I can't think of a single company that after a dispute about closing an account promptly said "Oh ya a real person looked at this immediately and it is clear that we made a mistake. We are so sorry and I'll put a flag on your account preventing this from ever happening again".

The best we have is counter social spaces where people in the know can post to a place like this and hope either that they reach an insider at the company or that a media firestorm erupts and the company is shamed into doing the right thing.

This is the current example that infuriates me:

Would you agree that Chase has a rather good reputation for a brick and mortar bank?

[10-Year-Old Makes More Than $2K Selling Chickens, but the Bank Keeps Her Money for Over a Year](https://people.com/10-year-old-makes-usd2k-selling-chickens-...)

Chase closed her account and stole her money just because they could and no amount of customer service could fix it. No amount of evidence. Then only way it was resolved is from news shaming Chase.

That is where we are today.

The same way your heart "knows" how to beat - it's a lower level function that happens without your conciousness. That's why people who are brain dead still live and breathe and swallow and digest and their hearts livers and kidneys still do their job.

>More fundamentally though, reifying the internal board as a "world model" is absurd: otherwise a (trivial) autoencoder would also be building a "world model".

The point is that they aren't directly training the model to output the grid state, like you would an autoencoder. It's trained to predict the next action and learning the state of the 'world' happens incidentally.

It's like how LLMs learn to build world models without directly being trained to do so, just in order to predict the next token.

Chopi Music and Zulu Dancing (Aug 24, 1960) [video]
Thank you. I had seen that, and had browsed through it, and thought: I don't get it, the reason for this 1800 must be elsewhere.

What am I missing? Where does it show there how the claim of "1800 ELO" is arrived at?

I can see various things that might be relevant, for example, the graph where it (GPT-3.5-turbo-instruct) is shown as going from mostly winning to mostly losing when it gets to Stockfish level 3. It's hard (/impossible) to estimate the lichess or FIDE ELO of the different Stockfish levels, but Lichess' Stockfish on level 3 is miles below 1800 FIDE, and it seems to me very likely to be below lichess 1800.

I invite any FIDE 1800s and (especially) any Lichess 1800s to play Stockfish level 3 and report back. Years ago when I played a lot on Lichess I was low 2000s in rapid, and I win comfortably up till Stockfish level 6, where I can win, but also do lose sometimes. Basically I really have to start paying attention at level 6.

Level 3 seems like it must be below lichess 1800, but it's just my anecdotal feeling of the strengths. Seeing as how the article is chocabloc full of unfounded speculation and bias though, maybe we can indulge ourselves too.

So: someone please explain the 1800 thing to me? And any lichess 1800s like to play guinea pig, and play a series of games against stockfish 3, and report back to us?
This is a misunderstanding of what he is saying, mainly by omitting the next sentence.

>This property is often described by the rather mystical and intimidating statement that a qubit can exist simultaneously in both of its ↑ and ↓ states.

He is saying that, at any given time, a traditional computer bit is in one of two basic states, while a quantum bit could be in multiple states at the same time.
Without a hierarchy, a class is just a group of functions that have a same first implicit argument called this.
But what if a file was a namespace? (i.e. a javascript/typescript module)
Then we can just create functions and they automatically belong to a group.
One or multiple constants and variables can contain the data.

But do we need a hierarchy let alone multi-inheritance/traits if we just know what function to call and what file to import it from? Isn't that the job of interfaces?
Isn't composition better than inheritance?
math is low on the list then they bitch that they’re unemployable with a soft skill degree doing middle school level work. i get this is ironic as a pure math student is also fairly unemployable without extraneous skills, but they also tend to shine the brightest once they make it in.

Show HN: Import NBA Team's Schedule into Todoist
This app enables Todoist users to import their favorite NBA team's regular season games as Todoist tasks.

In the past I'd done this manually for myself, but this year I played around with the Todoist API and made a script that automatically added tasks for each Celtics game, which saved me a lot of effort. I figure others may find this useful, so I decided to create web app that anyone can use for their own team.
I have the exact same problem with this article that I had with the previous one - the author fails to provide any data on the frequency of illegal moves.

Thus it's impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions. It would be similar to if I claimed that an LLM is an expert doctor, but in my data I've filtered out all of the times it gave incorrect medical advice.
Why is that? I have noticed that the deeper you get into infosec the furrier it gets. Has anyone studied that? I feel like there's something to that.
Gmail Account Takeover Phishing Scam Exploiting Salesforce and Google Processes
I recently investigated a phishing campaign targeting Gmail users that exploits Salesforce infrastructure and Google support processes. The attackers use these trusted platforms to make their phishing emails appear credible and bypass spam filters. Orginal article reporting on the scam: (https://sammitrovic.com/infosec/gmail-account-takeover-super...)

Key Findings:

Exploitation of Salesforce Email Infrastructure: Phishing emails are relayed through Salesforce’s systems, using legitimate headers (e.g., X-SFDC-LK) and passing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication.

Abuse of Google Support Processes: Emails impersonate Google Workspace Support (workspacesupport@google.com) and direct victims to attacker-controlled domains. Replies are routed to googlemail@internalcasetracking.com.

Social Engineering: Attackers use AI-driven phone calls to enhance the credibility of their phishing attempts.

Indicators of Compromise (IoCs): Includes domains, IP addresses, and email addresses associated with the attack.

This technique is scalable and can be applied to any Google-based domain, posing a wide-reaching threat.

The domain (internalcasetracking.com) used in the attack remains active. I’ve reported the activity to the appropriate security teams and am collaborating with Sam, who originally wrote about this scam.

Sharing this here to raise awareness and facilitate further investigation.
I don't understand your objection at all.

In the example, the 'world' is the grid state. Obviously that's much simpler than the real world but the point is to show that even when the model is not directly trained to input/output this world state it is still learned as a side effect of prediction the next token.
Thanks! I agree, I really need to write a wiki or something. The problem is that this game started as a basketball managerial game and then got completely derailed as I kept implementing whatever I thought was cool at the moment.

I think there are mainly 3 themes to play for:

- Basketball: assemble the best possible team. Basically try to acquire as much money as possible to hire the best free agents;

- Money: just try to get as rich as possible, using the market and in the future your asteroids;

- Space adventure: get the best possible spaceship (more options will be available in future releases) and have fun in the spaceshooter game you can access from your team pane (button 'Space adventure').

I tried to combine and summarize these 3 themes by having a reputation score assigned to your team, which can increase based on all 3 conditions. In the Swarm pane there is a Top Ranking window where the best crews are listed.
I do, in that public transportation around me doesn't go to places I routinely need to go and the distances involved are impractical for a bicycle. At the rates and frequency I'd have to pay to take things like Uber, the break-even to own a car is pretty quick. If the public transit here was better, I'd totally be down to ditch the car. I do tend to take transit when its competitive and makes sense.

This evening, I have to take the kids and their stuff to visit the grandparents for an overnight. Their home is 30mi away from me. Even though I've got public transit immediately outside my door, there's no public transit servicing their home. I could take the two-hour bus ride for the bus at the edge of my neighborhood to the edge of the public transit network, it's still >10mi to their home. This trip for this afternoon on Uber is ~$40 each way. For one trip I'll make a few times in a month. Or I can take my car and make it a 25-minute trip that costs me several dollars each way.

We also go visit some family >70mi each way from us on a pretty regular basis. There's definitely no transit available to get to where they live, and an Uber going all the way over there is >$100 each way.

I mostly work from home, the "office" is ~2mi from my home, I love to ride my bike and I take public transit a decent bit, and yet I still manage to put >13,000mi on my car every year. That is how extremely car centric DFW is.

Why not answer to what I already said above: is a gun that's guaranteed to not harm you still a deterrent? Is a handgun a deterrent if you are in full-body heavy armor, in an armored vehicle, or just too far away? It's the same gun with the same bullets and the same power, nothing about it changed and lo and behold, the deterrent is gone just because it can no longer kill you.

That deterrent cannot exist without the threat, but the threat can exist without deterrent. A gun or a bomb which cannot kill you will not deter you. The object is worthless, the promise that it can harm or kill you is the only thing that matters. So the only point of the gun and the bomb is to kill. Everything else is a consequence that derives from that.

To answer your points:

Yes, the bombs were built with the single reason to be able to destroy cities and kill millions. Weapon specs don't list and quantify "deterrent" because that's not a characteristic of the weapon. If you build a guaranteed missile shield around you country then that exact "city killer" bomb is no longer a deterrent.

No, the authority is why police doesn't get punched in the face. The authority is backed mainly by law which gives them the right to fine or arrest. Taking away your money or freedom are the the real deterrents (as evidenced by judicial systems relying solely on this in most countries). In most of the world you can punch a police agent in the face and not get shot and people know that so they still do it.

You can lead a horse to water, and all that.
"Most striking" in the sense of "most obviously not ever even remotely legal," yeah.

But the most interesting and thought-provoking one in there is [1] Carlsen v Inarkiev (2017). Carlsen puts Inarkiev in check. Inarkiev, instead of making a legal move to escape check, does something else. Carlsen then replies to that move. Inarkiev challenges: Carlsen's move was illegal, because the only legal "move" at that point in the game was to flag down an arbiter and claim victory, which Carlsen didn't!

[1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5WVJu154F0&t=7m52s

The tournament rules at the time, apparently, fully covered the situation where the game state is legal but the move is illegal. They didn't cover the situation where the game state was actually illegal to begin with. I'm not a chess person, but it sounds like the tournament rules may have been amended after this incident to clarify what should happen in this kind of situation. (And Carlsen was still declared the winner of this game, after all.)

LLM-wise, you could spin this to say that the "rational grandmaster" is as fictional as the "rational consumer": Carlsen, from an actually invalid game state, played "a move that may or may not be illegal just because it sounds kinda “chessy”," as zoky commented below that an LLM would have done. He responded to the gestalt (king in check, move the king) rather than to the details (actually this board position is impossible, I should enter a special case).

OTOH, the real explanation could be that Carlsen was just looking ahead: surely he knew that after his last move, Inarkiev's only legal moves were harmless to him (or fatalistically bad for him? Rxb7 seems like Inarkiev's correct reply, doesn't it? Again I'm not a chess person) and so he could focus elsewhere on the board. He merely happened not to double-check that Inarkiev had actually played one of the legal continuations he'd already enumerated in his head. But in a game played by the rules, he shouldn't have to double-check that — it is already guaranteed by the rules!

Anyway, that's why Carlsen v Inarkiev struck me as the most thought-provoking illegal move, from a computer programmer's perspective.

i’ve always found that mathematical thinkers do better, no matter the role. it’s difficult to express how, it’s kind of intangible, but it’s just a mental process that helps break down tasks and come up with unique solutions.

that being said, my marketing pitch for math was always, nothing else is even close to as intellectually stimulating as math.
That Expert players are better at recreate real games than ‘fake’ positions is one of the things Adriaan de Groot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriaan_de_Groot) noticed in his studies with expert chess players. (“Thought and choice in chess“ is worth reading if you’re interested in how chess players think. He anonymized his subjects, but Euwe apparently was on of them)

Another thing he noticed is that, when asked to set up a game they were shown earlier, the errors expert players made often were insignificant. For example, they would set up the pawn structure on the king side incorrectly if the game’s action was on the other side of the board, move a bishop by a square in such a way didn’t make a difference for the game, or even add an piece that wasn’t active on the board.

Beginners would make different errors, some of them hugely affecting the position on the board.

>In modern times, I would rank the most important devices as the mobile phone and the automobile.

If you're referring to those being important in a major disaster, I'd disagree. Any major disruption can knock out celular networks and in a war they'd be deliberately targeted.

Instead, your best bet would be a predetermined plan for how to get in contact with loved ones if the comms and electrical grids collapse (where to meet, when, and where to leave notes possibly).

As for cars, maybe in certain scenarios, such as having an offroad vehicle stored in some isolated place that you can reach, but if an earthquake, flood, war or some other disaster suddenly strikes, roads will be one of its major victims, rapidly being damaged and in any case clogged with heavy traffic. A car of any kind inside a city would probably be next to useless after a serious disaster.

Instead, you would be better off with a few motorbikes/dirt bikes, or even better, bicycles safely and carefully stored against possible theft. Having these for your family, and possibly some kind of compact cart that can be hitched up for pulling supplies or anyone who simply cant ride their own bike would be much more flexible and usable no matter how badly your region's transport infrastructure is devastated. Bikes (motorized or manual) can cover nearly any terrain and don't need roads if they're even minimally built for off-roading.
> You should also leave room for the possibility that the Israeli public is actually more informed than you are.

Was the Nazi public more informed than the rest of the world? Just as Germany today isn't an "expert" in genocide because they committed it, Israelis don't "know more", they are the perpetrators of many historic crimes. They're literally living on stolen, ethnically cleansed land.

OTOH death by a thousand paper cuts is a thing. And frankly, that the exploitation could yield Japan's demand for 75 and 11 years only appears to be a 'long time' for types who don't see beyond quarterly bottom lines. It's one (high-output) country of 200, and we're talking about a decade and less than a century. How long until the fauna and flora of the seabed have recovered? One must also take into account that extraction will likely mean vast amounts of sands being upset, something that should almost never occur in the deep ocean except in case of an earthquake and also something that may affect areas far beyond the field proper.
