My god. I have Crohn's disease and am on remicade. I've had it refused by aetna and must try two "biosimilars" before being allowed to take the medicine I've been on for over a decade. They asked me if I'd tried them before because "some people do not tolerate them". So now I'm faced with potentially up to a year of decline and ruining health just to take the drug I've been on for a decade, _that the manufacturer pays for anyways_.

When I was a super angsty teenager I had a little thought experiment. I imagined that I had a Death Note or some other magical device that could instantly murder someone from any range at any time. How long would it take me to eradicate McDonalds? (Nothing against McD in particular, just using it as an example of an enormous company.)

I eventually came to the conclusion that there’s no way to do it killing individuals one by one in isolation. You would have to kill enough people to start changing society, in one way or another. But you can already do that, plenty of other ways to change society without murder. It might be hard but not impossible.

To 13 year old me this was like some divine epiphany, and so even though it’s, well, pretty unimpressive, the event is very clear in my memory.
The benefits of networking outweigh the drawbacks in many situations, but not all, and good engineers avoid the network in cases where the lag would be unacceptable (i.e., real-time computing applications such as assembly line software). The same applies to LLMs—even if we're never able to get the rate of failure down below 5%, there are some applications that that would be fine for.

The important thing isn't that the rate of failure be below a specific threshold before the technology is adopted anywhere, the important thing is that engineers working on this technology have an understanding of the fundamental limitations of the computing paradigm and design accordingly—up to and including telling leadership that LLMs are a fundamentally inappropriate tool for the job.

Advent of Code 2024 in Nix – Day 01-03
In other words, only he who acknowledges unflinchingly and without any reservations that murder is under no circumstances to be sanctioned can commit the murderous deed that is truly — and tragically — moral. To express this sense of the most profound human tragedy in the incomparably beautiful words of Hebbel’s Judith: “Even if God had placed sin between me and the deed enjoined upon me — who am I to be able to escape it?”

“Tactics and Ethics” – 1919

… we Communists are like Judas. It is our bloody work to crucify Christ. But this sinful work is at the same time our calling: only through death on the cross does Christ become God, and this is necessary to be able to save the world. We Communists then take the sins of the world upon us, in order to be able thereby to save the world.

Quoted in Daniel Lopez, "The Conversion of Georg Lukács"

Dionysus versus the “Crucified” there you have the antithesis. It is not a difference in regard to their martyrdom—it is a difference in the meaning of it. Life itself, its eternal fruitfulness and recurrence, creates torment, destruction, the will to annihilation. In the other case, suffering—the “Crucified as the innocent one”—counts as an objection to this life, as a formula for its condemnation.—One will see that the problem is that of the meaning of suffering: whether a Christian meaning or a tragic meaning. In the former case, it is supposed to be the path to a holy being; in the latter case, being is counted as holy enough to justify even a monstrous amount of suffering. The tragic man affirms even the harshest suffering ... Dionysus cut to pieces is a promise of life: it will be eternally reborn and return again from destruction.

"In November 2023, Gilbert W. Merkx, a professor at Duke University, along with the United States' Marine Corps University, published an article in the Journal of Advanced Military Studies placed on the Project Muse database, that stated Russia had captured Kherson with "little resistance". <...>

There were questions concerning how Kherson was captured so easily. Orysia Lutsevych, a member of the Chatham House, a British-based think tank stated that "Russia had its agents infiltrated into the Ukrainian security forces". On 1 April 2022, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed the head of the Security Service of Ukraine's Kherson regional branch and a general as traitors. Zelenskyy described their actions as that of "anti-heroes", and that he "...had trouble determining where their Fatherland is". An aide to a general was arrested for handing over maps of minefields to Russian forces and helping coordinate Russian airstrikes in the region." [0]

Humans hallucinate, too. We just have less misleading terms for it. Massive mistake in terms of jargon, IMO—"making shit up" is wildly different from the "delusion of perception" implied by hallucination.

I'm genuinely curious as to what if any disclosures, and possible business requirements / fraud risks, are presented by not having such disclosures for an advertising-supported business.

Virtually any significant publishing platform has a press kit detailing circulation or equivalent numbers, which are in most cases publicly available, so far as I'm aware. I'm not finding a definitive statement as to whether or not this is required in the US, though most significant publications, and now online sites, provide similar data.

The Alliance for Audited Media (AAM) seems to be the principle source of circulation data in the US, per this Pew article (2023):

"Newspapers Fact Sheet"

<https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/newspapers...>

That also notes however:

[T]hree of the highest-circulation daily papers in the U.S. – The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post – have in recent years not fully reported their digital circulation to AAM.
Should they? No. Morally (the world of "should"), vigilante justice should not be used in a society with laws and courts.

Is is a different world than should, though. In the world of is, there are a large number of people who feel that the system is rigged against them, that they're never going to get justice, that the courts are bought by the rich and powerful. In the world of is, that creates the grounds where vigilante "justice" will be used.

Whether you agree with it or not, whether you think it's right or not (I don't), we live in a society with a large number of people, with guns, who feel that the legal system has failed them, the political system has failed them, and this is the only course left. That feeling, in enough people, leads to some of them taking action.

So let the rich and powerful beware. I don't agree with it, I don't advocate it, but it is. If you're powerful, and you live in a world with potential vigilantes, you'd better make sure that not very many of them feel like it's time to become a vigilante. The rich have ignored that bit of practical wisdom; yesterday may have been the chickens coming home to roost.

The difference is that you can fix IndexError by modifying your code but no amount of prompt manipulation may fix hallucinations. For that you need solutions outside LLMs.
sorry for the downvote, but you misunderstand the motive of his asssasin. Abe and his family were directly involved in a church movement that had harmed the assassin's family. Strangely, it had very little do with politics, and so elections could not have righted the perceived wrongs.
Things I'd start with include:

- Don't shoe-horn "free market" into absolutely everything, recognizing that in some areas you need more regulation than in others.

- Reasonable anti-trust with reasonable enforcement.

- Personal responsibility instead of corporate responsibility (which is very rare today except in cases of outright fraught such as Enron, VW Diesel, etc.)

You can argue a bit about the details, but I don't think any of this is hugely controversial and has broad support across the political spectrum.
The episode of Array Cast released prior to this one is also worth a listen: I.P. Sharp and Associates - A Company Ahead of its Time[1].

It is also pieced together with “found” audio of Iverson and others, and it’s narrated by Bob Therriault. Subjectively, it quickly became one of my favorite audio pieces of all time!

The I.P. Sharp company sounded like a truly incredible place to work.

> Of course they are a bug.

A bug implies fixable behavior rather than expected behavior. An LLM making shit up is expected behavior.

> LLMs naturally hallucinate, but it is not what we want, so it is a bug.

Maybe you just don't want an LLM! This is what LLMs do. Maybe you want a decision tree or a scripted chatbot?

> And to fix it, we need to engineer solutions that prevent the hallucinations from happening, maybe resulting in an "I don't know" response that would be analogous to an error message.

I'm sure we'll figure out how to do this when we can fix the same bug in humans, too. Given that humans can't even agree when we're right or wrong—much less sense the incoherency of their own worldviews—I doubt we're going to see a solution to this in our lifetimes.
If it's not acceptable to hallucinate laws for writing legal documents, then writing legal documents is probably an unacceptable use case.

Also, how do you mitigate a lawyer writing whatever they want (aka: hallucinating) when writing legal documents? Double-checking??

Not the GP, but I agree:

• “Most useful when we're studying” and “Most useful when we're working” are clearer (and also more precise!) than abstract (“chunking”) terms like “Acquisition” and “Application”.

• Similarly, “Practical steps” and “Theoretical knowledge” are clearer than “Action” and “Cognition”.

• For that matter, the “-oriented” suffix in “Learning-oriented”, “Problem-oriented”, “Understanding-oriented”, “Information-oriented” is helpful, compared to the “Learning”, “Goals”, “Understanding”, “Information” abstract nouns.

What is common to all three sets of differences is that the former labels (on the older diagram) actually carry with them their semantic category (what kind of difference is being described, namely: (1) when useful, (2) what contents, (3) what's the orientation), while in the newer diagram everything is just abstract nouns. (E.g. “Useful during application” and “Useful during acquisition” would still be an improvement over just “Application” and “Acquisition”, though the older labels are even more direct and clear, without requiring the reader to engage in psychology to think abstractly about terms like acquisition.)

Also (separate complaint), whenever I want to tell anyone else about this "four kinds of documentation" approach, I always link to the archived https://web.archive.org/web/20200312220117/https://www.divio... which is the latest version that is entirely on a single page. Both the current version on the Divio site and on the Diataxis site seem “overdone”; a prospective reader has to click on “next” several times and it's unlikely they're going to do that.
Novo Nordisk also makes cheaper insulin which probably keeps Eli Lilly in check in free markets.

Come to think of it, Airbus is a similar example of European competition with the US that keeps the unfettered capitalist competitor in check. Boeing stands to lose something if there is a competitor waiting to eat their market share. Of course, the US is a bit protectionist so free market rules don’t always apply there. But they do in many other parts of the world.

> In very short order, horses went from being a steppe curiosity to the foundation of authority for one of the largest civilizations of East Asia.

I've got a pet theory about some western mythological tropes where horses are the economic and technological development that ties them together. the essential idea is that the young heroes mentored by centaurs (achillies and chiron, etc.) and "wisdom originating in the east," come from horse tribes from the steppes influencing proto-greek civilization, where centaurs came to represent those plainspeople in their mythology. as in central and east asia, by the result of being given empires, horsemanship was a channel for both evolutionary and divine assent, where if these other beings in nature favoured the people with the qualitites to ride them, then they were chosen to lead. horses became a force of evolutionary selection for us.

it's basically an "ancient aliens" quality theory about horses, which I'm sure archeologists will love as much as they do the tv one, but horses are more than just a thread in our history, they are a force of it. relating to other beings in a complete cultural symbiosis like that seems like a key evolutionary achievement to unlock on the way to becoming starfaring, and if you have any background working with them, they are rare companion beings to us in the real of nature we inhabit. lunacy? perhaps, but experiencing the world with horses isn't just pony rides, it's an encompassing philosophical pursuit.

RCT: Physical enhancement of older adults using hyperbaric oxygen
Yes, but we can choose to ignore it. Ignorance of our human nature potentials is our choice, too, and that's the reason for the inertia of the world's societies, including ones that claim to be religious.

The key is that, just as our physical bodies have developmental stages of ever-increasing capability, so does our moral compass. We must learn how to not only use it, but to develop it and fine-tune over time, and we must train and use our mind to self-evolve ourselves.

Note that we can use our free will to de-tune it as well so that we have pointed ourselves in the direction opposite to our happiness, and that of those we come in contact with. In other words, we are free to use our abilities to create unhappiness, out of sadistic pleasure.

The first step of the spiritual path is awakening to this highest of human potential, where we learn to willfully and with difficult effort develop our moral compass in the direction of compassionate concern for the well-being of our fellow human beings. This is why the selfish -- to themselves and their in-group -- people of the world are loath to hear the term "woke"; they take pleasure in remaining ignorant of both the unhappiness they cause and thus karmically receive by their selfish actions. And the same impulse within us that seeks to keep us ignorant of our highest human potential, is also keen to keep its ideals, attitudes, and behaviors off other people's radar. The development of a selflessly compassionate morality become like garlic to a vampire (and they do suck, and suck the life-blood out of the world's systems and people, for sure, causing so much misery by their efforts).

So, yes, our moral compasses are each in various states of development, from the utterly ignored to sometimes-positive-sometimes-negative to the fully developed. As usual, such distributions follow a bell curveish shape. But only the long tail in the positive direction understands and manifests the highest morality. The middle bulk are hit or miss, per their cultures' predilections and the circumstances of their life. And the negative tail are the uttlerly selfish evil bastards of the world.

You can find a full explication of our human nature to self-evolve and the process of manifesting such change in the deep dialog I had yesterday under my comment to Maria Konnikova's poetry article submission. You have to skip past my initial reply and its grand-reply to get to the meat of it.
But it seems obvious that inserting a group of middlemen into an already expensive system is going to make it more expensive. The complexity of dealing with all the insurance companies is literally overwhelming.

It is so confusing to me that "socialized healthcare" is such a dirty word, when the whole purpose of insurance is, a it's core, introducing socialism into healthcare. If you are anti-socialism, cancel your healthcare and just private pay for your healthcare. :-)

Sadly, we in the US seem to be sliding in that direction with the noises being made about "healthcare pools".
> A few apps have complained about the older OS; so far I've been able to react by deleting the apps.

Not about the phone (I have iPhone 12), but I have an app called Trunk Notes which is a wiki reader / editor. It was one of the only wiki apps I found that could work cooperatively with my own markdown vimwiki that I keep on my desktop (and sync via Dropbox or similar).

A few years back, it complained that it would no longer work in iOS version something-or-other and the author apologized because he could no longer maintain it. I never got around to deleting it, and to my surprise it still works to this day.

Yes, people readily concerned with the defensiveness of their position are easily manipulated. The conviction towards or against a position is the subjective basis open to modification.

Because it's not about devs, it's about distro packagers. They are an extremely important audience for QEMU. As pm215 said above, we don't want to make their lives unnecessarily harder. For example Debian has the backports repository, and CentOS Stream has QEMU and Rust updates done by different teams.

Anyhow starting April (August release) we will be able to target 1.75.0 while being consistent with QEMU's (C-targeted) distro support policies, which is not that bad. Maybe newer than that depending on what Ubuntu 22.04 does between now and August.
