One of the results the LLM has available to itself is a confidence value. It should, at the very least, provide this along with it's answer. Perhaps if it did people would stop calling it 'AI'.'
Context - it’s a Lego model of a machine used to produce computer chips:

> The TWINSCAN EXE:5000 is the first 0.55 NA, or ‘High NA’, EUV lithography system. Its 8 nm resolution will enable chipmakers to print with a single exposure features 1.7 times smaller – and therefore achieve transistor densities 2.9 times higher – than those possible using TWINSCAN NXE systems.

I think the Brits are pretty fast at adopting technology, their digital public service infrastructure for example is excellent as is their research and engineering sector but I think they have a pretty big distaste for hucksterism or fads and a very no-nonsense attitude. Sort of like us Germans but less digitally averse and with a better bureaucracy.
> They are so quick to frustration over the fact that the some languages don't act like they think it should and don't require the extraneous baggage of higher-order programming in order to quickly be productive in

Higher order functions often seems to be a way to complicate otherwise easy to read code. Kotlin manages to do it reasonably well, in Javascript I has beem behind some of my absolutely worst debugging experiences.

The problem with Go, as far as I have seen is not about functional programming, but rather about things like making a point out of not supporting generics for years.

For anyone who has experienced the Java 1.4 to Java 5 transition, and all the cruft it removed I cannot see how any of them can willingly accept a language that made a point out of being clumsy so one had to do it the old clumsy way agaim.

Or how a language that us supposedly a good fit for web backends had (don't know if it have now, I've given up) no simple way in the standard library or any popular templating solution to say in a template that it should be included in a bigger template, thereby forcing the code to know about things that belong in the design world.

I.e. to have

- a common header with dynamic title

- a dynamic part between

- and common footer

the correct way last I checked seemed to be to string them together like a php script from the late nineties.
But that's not a gas vs. electric distinction, but rather an old vs. new one. Modern ICE cars have all of those problems too.
As if this legislation in the US would not entirely upend the current rules and regulations. That's exactly the issue - you can't say "well currently things are X, and introducing Y won't change anything" when Y does, in fact, change everything. A positive example of this was EMTALA in 1986 when the US gvt told hospitals "if you want to bill Medicare you have to provide ER treatment to everyone." That was a radical change to the way in which medical care had been provided in the US up to that point. Introducing any form of assisted suicide introduces many complex legal issues just around liability from a practice standpoint - to say nothing of the complexities of who determines what even constitutes legal authority for the decision itself.
If my rusty skills in sample calculation are correct, 7300 surveys could be enough for a 98% confidence with 1,5% error margin.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the sample size of 7300 should be enough for UK's population.

Somebody has to write and maintain the tools that support those abstractions. Then there is the frequent requirement to optimize systems which putting on another layer of abstractions won't solve.

Most of the fresh opportunities lie in the area of atoms, real hard tangible problems that software can't solve.

The website does a poor job of conveying what the product is exactly, which is the reason that I did not sign up sooner. You might want to approach the text of the site from the premise that the user has no idea what you are presenting.
Datacenter IPs can’t even post at all, nevermind needing to solve a CAPTCHA. That’s why the accusations of “VPN shill” are usually wrong, as is the assumption of anonymity – 4chan is in fact one of the least anonymous sites on the internet. The optional username feature gives it a veneer of anonymity, but the strict IP requirements ensure almost every post is attributable to a residential internet connection, and reliably associable with other posts from that same connection.
Ask HN: Best practices to control LLM responses with user queries?
How do you control LLM output in your applications? Is it just a matter of a well-crafted system prompt or are there any other techniques? I'm building a query based UX and I specifically want to make sure users cannot inject their own instructions into queries that would steer the LLM away from it's intended purpose.

Incredible technology - the light-source works by generating droplets of molten tin, firing them through a chamber at around (IIRC) 200mph, and hitting each droplet with two laser pulses... at 50kHz.

How they achieve that using Lego is beyond me.
I’ve always assumed that’s a prerequisite for a pip. Obviously managers need to give reports good feedback regularly.

I'm running into this now. Boss is all but mandating everyone use Cursor.

I'm not anti-AI. I don't mind asking an LLM to write me some boilerplate. But I don't want to change my tooling, nor have an integrated assistant. My output is fine.

I'll hold out as long as I can, but it feels like this may one day just become the reality.
To think that AI is as irrelevant as blockchain, crypto and NFTs is a tragical error many are committing, sir. Those things were trivial and useless and it was clear since the start, and even if tons of money and marketing were put inside, nothing changed because of the blockchain, at least nothing useful.

AI is a completely different story: you likely not even realize you are already a heavy user just as a side effect of everything technological you use, from voice dictation, to medical, to all the images you see around. Soon also: when you are going to watch a movie. Moreover LLMs are already transforming the way people work.

These two entities, blockchian and AI, have very little in common if not the hype.
The deterioration of Google
> 78% of people aged 16-24 had used a GenAI tool in the last year.

More interesting would be the percentage of people that have used GenAI in the past year with a purpose.

I suspect a significant number have just played with it. Likely many didn't make it a habit, let alone ever do anything useful with it. It would be a bit of a stretch to say anyone in this group has 'adopted' AI.
I'm sorry to be a little rude, but the AI-generated cover (the left crab is missing an eye, for starters) is a negative quality indicator. If you weren't willing to take the time to put together a thoughtful cover, why should readers expect the book's content to be assembled any more carefully?
Yes, but infix syntax is usually used only for a few select functions, whereas Forth uses postfix syntax for all functions.

Yours is a particularly extreme example I guess, but I didn't say it was a happy reality, I don't agree, and I agree.

It's not your job unless it's your job, but otherwise it's not your job, that's basically it, and sometimes in life it's your job to make the war machine, or if it's in your power to not make the war machine, then don't. If you're taking care of kids, it's your job to take care of kids, not have a moral stance on what your labor is going to. You're not the Angel of Death, and ideally you should do whatever you can to not be. These are the tricky bits of life.

Edward Snowden stuck his neck out, and while he may have won a virtue medal and might be chilling these days with a wife and kids as Russians, what he probably should have done was nothing, that's a sacrifice you make for an overvalued sense of personal heroism imo. Now he's beholden to Putin.

If you've already ascended some ranks and can make decisions that are good for people more broadly, great, that's part of your job.

> honestly though Google would be that - but apparently it's easier to fund R&D on "selling copying machines" than "selling ads". Maybe "selling ads" earn _too much_ money ? I don't know.

I'm pretty sure Google Brain was exactly what you are looking for: People like to think of DeepMind, but honestly, Brain pretty much had Bell Labs/PARCs strategy: they hired a bunch of brilliant people and told them to just "research whatever is you think is cool". And think all the AI innovations that came out of Brain and were given to the world for free: Transformers, Vision Transformers, Diffusion Models, BERT (I'd consider that the first public LLM), Adam, and a gazillion of other cool stuff I can't think of right now.... Essentially, all of the current AI/LLM craze started at Brain.

Ask HN: What would you do in my situation?
So I grew up in Belgium, did my MSc there and focused on math and machine learning. After I graduated I searched for a job in many western European countries, but was really disappointed with the offerings. I wanted a job that would give me some opportunities to hone my AI/ML skills, but here in Europe this sector is really undeveloped outside of academia. After lots of searching I bit the bullet and signed an academic contract. Pros: I get access to a relatively up to date cluster and I get to hone my skills in MLOps and MLEng and also the opportunity to do research and write papers. If I author enough I might even apply for a PhD. Cons: Very long hours, and subsistence level salary. Job location is also terrible.

Overall I am deeply unhappy with how my life is turning out. I am already 30 and I would like to be settled down soon, wife, kids and a stable career. But it feels like everything I do stands in the way of that. I had to move countries for this job and I really have come to despise my host country and in particular the location this job is situated at. It's no place for a young single man. The pay is also a complete insult.

I just don't know what to do. There aren't a lot of good opportunities in Europe and I don't quite have enough work experience to get hired by a US company, yet. In theory my job is giving me some great opportunity, but everything else about it is horrible. And the economy in Europe is really just shitting itself and will likely only deteriorate in the coming years, so I doubt the job market for my niche is going to improve.

How to make the best of my situation?
There is nowhere someone can live for $200/mo, as they could in some lesser developed countries. The floor has been established by speculation, building codes, and minimum services. It sounds like a good idea to make sure all dwellings have electricity and running water, but when the alternative is a tent under the freeway, it's actually much worse.
You discover that by writing the test. You don't try to predict that ahead of time. The goal is to get away from trying to predict problems ahead of time, because most of those problems turn out to be phantoms.
There's also https://brainaural.com/ which I quite like and think pairs well with this site.

(Of course it is also created by Dr. Pigeon, as most of these high-quality background noise websites seem to be.)
There’s multiple people in the comments of this post alone who have self exited a pip. And I know at least one in person myself. What’s common sense is that Common sense doesn’t mean much, people often draw false conclusions from narrow sample sizes among other fallacious beliefs and reasonings. Asking for a source should always be acceptable by anyone who has an allegiance to truth. Let’s be honest with each other.
Seeing a lot of Ollama vs running llama.cpp direct talk here. I agree that setting up llama.cpp with CUDA isn't always the easiest. But there is a cost to running all inference over HTTPS. Local in-program inference will be faster. Perhaps that doesn't matter in some cases but it's worth noting.

I find that running PyTorch is easier to get up and running. For quantization, AWQ models work and it's just a "pip install" away.

> Your address is public record

No they are not. I don't know why you and people keep telling me this. You can try to look up my address and if you're doing it on the internet with some stupid private, non-governmental institutions and data brokers that collected data without my consent, you're likely to only find a bunch of addresses associated with my name that are NOT actually where I live.
Not advice, educational purposes only. Speak to an estate planning attorney. Depending on resources and objectives, a property can be transferred into a corporate or trust entity. Parent rents from the entity, this covers the mortgage payment. Upon parent's death, property basis is stepped up (no capital gains), beneficiaries retain control of the asset. If children wanted to rent it out to cover the mortgage, they can. Federal statute prohibits a lender from accelerating the note when a property is transferred from parent to child(ren) (Garn-St. Germaine Act). This preserves the equity in the asset while shielding it from creditors (potentially, strongly contingent on state creditor law). Speak to an estate planning attorney.

What's the underlying reason you're seeking a Master's degree? Do you want a job that requires one? Will it help meet immigration requirements? Are you just seeking knowledge? (probably not a great reason to go) Do you want to learn things that require access to equipment that's not personally attainable, but will be available at a school?

I have a bachelor's in CE, but never had a reason to get a masters. Undergrad in-major courses were a mix of regular high level software stuff, but not compilers and things, lightweight software engineering courses about process and awareness of formal methods (in depth formal methods in the Software Engineering major), some embedded systems work, and then a bit of electrical engineering: IIRC, we did some basic chip layout but my school didn't have any fab resources so no practical work there. A little bit of FPGA stuff.

With that degree, I just write software, mostly for servers, at Internet companies. I don't build hardware or anything, but maybe I'd be prepared for an entry level job in hardware, probably get roped into doing drivers though.

Right, this is an example of the Java speed being terrible because Borland was almost as good thirty years ago. 32,000 lines per second is 100,000 lines per three seconds, 2 million lines per minute. Compare the statistic that wasn't thirty years old:

Sure they were. College has changed a lot, as has college enrollment; instead of the top 10%, colleges now take the top 40% or so, close to the fraction that graduated high school in the 1960s. Courses that used to be taught in high school are now taught in undergrad, and what used to be covered in undergrad is put off until grad school.

What we call "gifted" today was what we called "college bound" back then.

I feel the reverse, actually. Small businesses probably store personal info in a random Excel file on someone's USB drive and are much more likely to have a data leak that actual bad guys can get a hold of. Amazon is a big mega-corp but their database security is decent and random employees can't just access it for no reason, and doing so would likely leave a trail.
I don't see how these are related (except of course for the errors in the second that could be caught by the first), and hopefully nobody in fintech is so ignorant/dumb to use floating point for money ?

Or are we talking about random scammers as 'fintech' now rather than banks (the fintech of which might indeed be old enough to be still running on COBOL-like systems) ?
