This is a very confused comment.

Did you even read that post of mine that you searched up for some reason?
What do you imagine you found there?

And keep who around as cheif gnussance? Doesn't that usually refer to Stallman?
Do you think Stallman is the same as either Reiser or Tunney?

And who is pouncing on anyone exacly? No one is doing violence on Tunney, nor advocating it. They just opt out of lionizing her, and for a reason she creates herself.

Why do you seem to be so scandalized at holding someone accountable for their opinions? Did you not know that some opinions are not neutral or harmless? No one cares about her opinion about tea vs coffee.

Personally I don't actually even hate her. She says so many different conflicting things that you can't take anything quite fully seriously, including the worst bits, because 10 minutes earlier on some other site she probably said something opposite, and I frankly agree with about half of it.

But you can't ignore the worst bits either because some things you don't get to say without consequence.

And one thing that IS consistent is that she does it on purpose and explicitly, by her own admission, gets off on making everyone else crazy. Not just gets off on being smarter or righter, but specifically on making someone else upset for no other purpose than to laugh at that.

I've known a hundred people like that. Most were 12-22 year old boys, and at least half of those eventually outgrew that phase, and even those that never did are mostly harmless. So I say she's not evil, she's just a garden variety douchebag.

Someone who explicitly prides herself on violating everyone else's feelings, and who explicitly preaches that everyone else needs to grow a thicker skin, cannot possibly at the same time have any problem with something as insignificant as being called an asshole.
Probably an overcorrection from when people were complaining very vocally about ChatGPT being "lazy" and not providing all the code. FWIW I've seen Claude do the same thing when asked do debug something it obviously did not know how to fix it would just repeatedly refactor the same sections of code and making changes to comments.
I am not a ML person, and know there is an mathematical explanation for what I am about to write, but here comes my informal reasoning:

I fear this is not the case:
1) Either, the LLM (or other forms of deep neural networks) can reproduce exactly what it saw, but nothing new (then it would only produce legal moves, if it was trained on only legal ones)
2) Or, the LLM can produce moves that it did not exactly see, by outputting the "most probable" looking move in that situation (which it never has seen before). In effect, this is combining different situations and their output into a new output. As a result of this "mixing", it might output an illegal move (= the output move is illegal in this new situation), despite having been trained on only legal moves.

In fact, I am not even sure if the deep neuronal networks we use in practice even can replicate their training data exactly - it seems to me that there is some kind of compression going on by embedding knowledge into the network, which will come with a loss.

I am deeply convinced that LLMs will never be exact technology (but LLMs + other technology like proof assistants or compilers might be)

> tax subsidies makes it a bad deal.

Unlike roads? How exactly do you think roads are paid for, if not by 100% tax subsidies? TfL doesn’t get any tax subsidies anyway, the Tories got rid of that years ago.

> imagine the maintenance costs for the next century. Whether you use it or not, residents will have to pay for it.

And somehow this doesn’t apply to roads?
<Sarcasm>

They'll invent AGI, put 50% of workers out of a job, then presumably have the AGI build some really good robots to protect them from the ensuing riots.

It seems that they are comparing volumes.
> Again, food addiction and satiety is a different question than if CICO works.

Yes, and again - as i said previously. No one is questioning if CICO works. That's like if questioning if physics works. No one is doing that. The laws of the universe are still intact. Talking about humans is the constructive conversion most people are having.
> I'd say that's because we don't understand what we mean by "understand".

I'll have a stab at it. The idea of LLMs 'understanding' maths is that, once having been trained on a set of maths-related material, the LLM will be able to generalise to solve other maths problems that it hasn't encountered before. If an LLM sees all the multiplication tables up to 10x10, and then is correctly able to compute 23x31, we might surmise that it 'understands' multiplication - i.e. that it has built some generalised internal representation of what multiplication is, rather than just memorising all possible answers. Obviously we don't expect generalisation from a Pi Zero without specifically being coded for it, because it's a fixed function piece of hardware.

Personally I think this is highly unlikely given that maths and natural language are very different things, and being good at the latter does not bear any relationship to being good at the former (just ask anyone who struggles with maths - plenty of people do!). Not to mention that it's also much easier to test for understanding of maths because there is (usually!) a single correct answer regardless of how convoluted the problem - compared to natural language where imitation and understanding are much more difficult to tell apart.

Safari works fine?? It's web kit based and is better for both memory usage and battery life iiuc

I almost exclusively use it on my phone. I also use it on my laptop (I have chrome FF and safari but primary use safari and chrome because I prefer them)

This seems to be working as intended. Apple makes a great browser that runs great on their devices and is beautifully designed. Chrome works everywhere (that is important to Google!)

We have choices!
Pretty much every device does, the trick always was if it actually worked, which Apple is assuredly great at. (source: worked on Google Assistant)
well if thats the case, theres your problem: GraphQL schema design is broken
> 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

Sharp eyes, similarly Andrew Ng and his Stanford University team pulled the same trick by having overfitting training to testing ratio for his famous cardiologist-level paper published in Nature Medicine [1].

The training ratio is more than 99% and testing less than 1% which failed AI validation 101. The paper would not stand in most AI conference but being published in Nature Medicine, one of the highest impact factor journal there is and has many citations for AI in healthcare and medicine.

Apple is happy to take 0% of offsite payments if you don’t link to them though, so clearly apple is fine with an app store fee of 0, ie for spotify.

The only difference is if the app error says “You can’t pay in-app” or if it says “You can’t pay in app, you can pay on our site”

Restricting apps from informing users still seems like obvious harm to users, like if a retail store made a rule that “the manual that comes with your product can’t contain your homepage because you have an online shop that might have better prices than us”

If it were the cost of running the store, truly, it would charge based on app downloads or such. Not based on if users click a link to amazon.com in the kindle app and then buy 2 books or 3.
> at their current rates of "winning" it will take them literally decades to reach Kyiv.

This is a war of attrition. The progress is not linear, and it's not about how much territory is held by each side. The defender holds the line until it collapses because they've exhausted manpower and weapons. We've seen the first signs in the past few months, and that's why Ukraine invaded Kursk. They knew very well that simply holding the line was a lost cause for them, due to attrition.

The question was never "How long will it take for Russia to get to Kiev", but "How long can Ukraine hold the line before it's out of steam".
Not OP, but I looked in to this a few years ago. It was more expensive then, and only went to 20 kHz. Higher frequencies are helpful if you're listening for the hiss of leaking gas, or corona discharge of an electric arc.

The Orin has 6xI2S ports internally, so that would work up to 16*6 = 96 microphones, which is a good number. But it looks like maybe only 3 are brought out & on different dev board connectors [1]? As with a lot of design, the devil is in the details. An FPGA could be easier to configure if you need more than 96 microphones.

My notes:

ICS-52000 $3.50, 20 kHz

ICS-41350 $1.05, 40 kHz

SPH0641LU4H-1 $1.45, 80 kHz+

But seeing your video makes me realize the colors are messed up in my terminal and don't look near as nice as your video. Maybe a theme or something I have is messing it up... will muck more.

It's a shame that it's not (visibly) open source. There's so much that could be done at this point. The shambling corpse of SGI is dead enough that anything left of their legal department must be absolutely destroyed.

Hmm. Insightful.

Amazon Bedrock supports Claude 3.5, and you can use inference profiles to split it across multiple regions. It's also the same price.

For my use case I use a hybrid of the two, simulating standard rate limits and doing backoff on 529s. It's pretty reliable that way.

Just beware that the European AWS regions have been overloaded for about a month. I had to switch to the American ones.
> they do know something about math ... that it requires a certain "attitude"

Of course. That does not mean that intelligence doesn't play a (big) role.

> Starting from Descartes and his famous "method", continuing with Newton, Einstein, Grothendieck all these guys insisted that they were special because of this "attitude" and not because of what people call "intelligence"

That doesn't make sense. Back when they were active, intelligence, IQ tests and the heritability of intelligence hadn't been well studied. They didn't have enough information, like we do today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ#Estimates
"Various studies have estimated the heritability of IQ to be between 0.7 and 0.8 in adults and 0.45 in childhood in the United States."

And, evolution and genetics weren't these peolpe's domains. Does it make sense to assume they were authorities in genetics and inheritance, because were good at maths and physics?

Sometimes they were wrong about their own domains. Einstein did say "Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work" (I can understand how it makes sense from his own perspective, although he didn't know enough about this animal species, to say that).

But he also said "God does not play dice" and was wrong about his own domain.

> Why do you bring "kids who fail in school" and "start selling drugs" into this conversation?

It was an example showing that the researchers live in bubbles.

That they're forming their believes about humans, based on small skewed samples of people. There's billions of people out there vastly different from themselves, whom they would have left out, if thinking about about others' abilities to learn.

In fact, now it seems to me that you too live in a bubble, I hope you don't mind.

> Usually, competency in one domain is presumed to make you a bit more qualified than the random person on the internet when it comes to explaining how this domain operates.

1) Maths and 2) evolution, DNA, genetics, intelligence, learning and inheritability are not the same domains.

Anyway, best wishes with the book and I hope it'll be helpful to people who want to study mathematics.
Economics, and the Powell Memo, followed by Milton Friedman and the Phillips curve and trickle down and Reaganomics, to start with.
I have to wonder about the sanity of people, who are limited to small arms, thinking that they can overthrow a government that has weapons that can annihilate them without even trying. Quantity can sometimes beat quality but they have neither one.

Not even. Russia has been amazingly successful with really obvious lies. Remember the furor over the Jade Helm exercise in 2015? When Gov. Greg Abbot asked the Texas State Guard to monitor the federal military? Turns out that was a Russia psyop that worked so well it emboldened Russia to go all out getting Trump elected a year later.

What? They even provided a benchmarking tool. You should be ecstatic at users providing such detailed reports. Most projects just attract reports that go like "its slow, fix it!!111"
If I had wings, I'd be a bird.

Applying a corrective script to weed out bad answers is also not "one-shot" solving anything, so I would call your example an elaborate guessing machine. That doesn't mean it's not useful, but that's not how a human being does maths, when they understand what they're doing - in fact you can readily program a computer to solve general maths problems correctly the first time. This is also exactly the problem with saying that LLMs can write software - a series of elaborate guesses is undeniably useful and impressive, but without a corrective guiding hand, ultimately useless, and not demonastrating generalised understanding of the problem space. The dream of AI is surely that the corrective hand is unnecessary?
NES Tetris predates the bag rule. The RNG is an 8-sided die with one side meaning "reroll", so it is basically random. That's how you can easily get into droughts of I-pieces for long enough to end a run, and this greatly influences top-level play to encourage "burning" L- and T- pieces instead.
It's not "collective suicide" when they feel backed in a corner without alternatives, and that's how they feel whether you think it's legitimate or not.

The Soviets didn't use nuclear weapons because they've never been in the situation we're trying to put Russia in now.
Most of the time, these are actually done with PFAS ‘wax’ regardless of how it is labeled.

In general, we love the love we get from homelab folks, but the issue is that the current thesis of our designs is "take advantage of the scale of building at the full-rack level."

We really can't afford to do loss leaders before we have more of a business. It's already difficult enough to build a company like this, and that's with making money off of sales. I fully agree that in general, this idea completely makes sense, but you can only really employ it once you have a business to be able to absorb those losses. Right now, building and selling the current product takes up 110% of our time.
Sociology - despite being a science - isn't required to be one in order to fulfill the objective we're discussing. It simply has to be capable of teaching people to identify things they take for granted [being universally true] to in fact be a consequence of their society.

To that degree, studying enough sociology to be able to make the statement, "Compartmentalization and hierarchy of academic subjects contributes to software engineers being unwitting used to replicate social structures," is not dependent on sociology being a science. It is true without relying on an arbitrary epistemology.
It’s more expensive and more of a hassle to deal with than plastic or plastic/wax coated paper.

I love the site. Very well done! It wouldn't surprise me if it starts showing up in some undergrad CS lectures.

The thing about the stars, though: some of us fear that a utility site for our work, GitHub, is getting enshitified into a social media platform. So for those of us in that camp, the stars system is unwelcome all by itself, and catering to it is the opposite of what we want to encourage.

Your desire for feeling the work is appreciated is definitely reasonable though. I hope how much I like it comes across loud and clear :)

Unbelievable.
The main problem isn't that it isn't a science, but that to the extent that science is used in sociology, it's mostly badly done.

Findings don't replicate, data is used to tell lies, policy built on scientific findings is mostly unrelated to the findings, focus is primarily guided by culture instead of discovery or curiosity. I read a lot of sociology, and the general level of critical thinking and concern for the truth in journal articles is much lower than biology, engineering, or even economics.

I think it should absolutely be taken seriously now that Paxton's fascist friends are going to be in power. They will relish using the full force of the federal government to own the libs¹ in any way they can.

Well it's about as categorically wrong as saying quantum computers use similar error correction algorithms as classical computers. Categorically both are are error correction algorithms.
Claude Sonnet 3.5 is simply amazing. No matter how much I used it I continue to be amazed at what it can produce.

I recently asked it what the flow of data is when two vNICs on the same host send data to each other and it produced a very detailed answer complete with a really nice diagram. I then asked what langue the diagram uses and it said Mermaid. So I then asked it to produce some example L1,2,3 diagrams for computer networks and it did just that. So it then asked it to produce Python code using PyATS to run show commands on Cisco switches and routers and use the data to produce Mermaid network diagrams for layers 1,2, and 3 and it just spit out working Python code. This is a relatively obscure task with a specific library no one outside of Networking knows about integrating with a diagram generator. And it fully understands the difference in network layers. Just astonishing. And now it can write and run Javascript apps. The only feature I really want is for it to be able to run generated Python code to see if it has any errors and automatically fix them.

If progress on LLMs doesn't stall they will be truly amazing in just 10 years. And probably consuming 5% of global electricity.

That’s true, but these terms show you that the internet was widely understood to be a different place than the “real world”, a distinction that has mostly vanished today.
Another way of saying this is: everything non-trivial you build embeds at least a little bit of cultural baggage.

If you’re not thinking about that it just means you have no idea what stuff you are loading into your designs. It’s still there you’re just not aware of it. It’s like being the unwitting carrier of a disease or a parasite.

What is scary about this memo, and contrary to your "lets be friends" outlook, is that we are entering a geopolitical era of precisely the opposite.

The US is withdrawing from its global cop role. Russia and China are saber rattling. NATO may be dissolved by Trump, at least the American side of it. Israel and Saudi Arabia are new strange bedfellows and allies. Japan and India are vastly increasing their military spending, and Japan will likely arm itself with nuclear weapons. Sunnis and Shiites are nearing a war. Turkey wants to throw its weight around regionally. International trade is very likely to be strongly disrupted and production nearshored.

We are entering "interesting times".

The Five Eyes may cooperate. Maybe.

In general the position of the microphones in space must be known precisely for the phase shifting math to be done well, and also the clocks on the phones would need to be in sync at high precision like 10x the highest frequency sound you're picking up. In other words within 10s of thousands of a second. Also if the array mic locations is not a simple straight line, circle, or other simple geometry the computer code (ie. math) to milk out an improved signal becomes very difficult.
