> how the product is pitched and presents to users.

And this is why I feel it's so important to fix the way we talk about hallucinations. Engineers need to be extremely clear with product owners, salespeople, and other business folks about the inherent limitations of LLMs—about the fact that certain things, like factual accuracy, may asymptotically approach 100% accuracy but will never reach it. About the fact that even getting asymptotically close to 100% is extremely (most likely prohibitively) expensive. And once they've chosen a non-zero failure rate, they have to be clear about what the consequences of the chosen failure rate are.

Before engineers can communicate that to the business side, they have to have that straight in their own heads. Then they can communicate expectations with the business and ensure that they understand that once you've chosen a failure rate, individual 'hallucinations' can't be treated as bugs to troubleshoot—you need instead to have an industrial-style QC process that measures trends and reacts only when your process produces results outside of a set of well-defined tolerances.

(Yes, I'm aware that many organizations are so thoroughly broken that engineering has no influence over what business tells customers. But those businesses are hopeless anyway, and many businesses do listen to their engineers.)
They are monetarily and/or promotionally incentivized to pick a bad, cheaper option for employees. The other employees don't get rewarded for the decision.

Because it's not a market. I work, and thus have no choice which insurance i'd like. There's only one plan which is even remotely affordable and that's the one provided by my job. If that insurance plan decides to deny me life saving, essential medications, i can't just switch. Health insurance is a necessity, it shouldn't be a market. We can see that since everyone stopped pursuing anti trust every single industry has either or is in the process of being completely captured by some big fish, eating everyone else up and squeezing consumers to the maximal amount possible. I for one, don't think we should be basing the cost of survival on the _maximum possible the market will bear_. Inevitably that will lead to it being far above some people's means, an ever increasing number of them. I don't enjoy the look of a future which involves revolts and assassinations but what option are we giving people? When health insurance companies kill the people that matter most in your life, what do you really have to lose? When the systems stop caring about preservation of human life, why should the people care about preserving the system? Why, they might actively become hostile to it. Even if it's a system which is merely survivable for the majority of people (maximum cost the market will bear), enough disenfranchised people _will_ take their power back, even if it takes the whole thing down. And in their lives, with their experiences, they're right
DC Sues Amazon for 'Secretly' Excluding Zip Codes from Prime Delivery Benefits
As a peer alluded to, that's going to be for some ideal demographic in their twenties (probably early), hitting ovulation perfectly. Age changes things dramatically:

"Women younger than 30 have about a 20 percent chance of getting pregnant naturally each month. By age 40, the chance of pregnancy is about five percent each month." [1]

Things like IVF do not dramatically change the odds either. They're better of course, but it's far from guaranteed - it's still just a rather expensive roll of the dice.

Then on top of all of this, having children later greatly increases the chances of miscarriage, developmental issues (like Down syndrome) and so on.

Life's brutal here - you're in a race against time, yet the later you start the longer it takes, and the harder it becomes.

I feel similarly. I don’t want the guy to die, but I’m not shocked that he was murdered. I’m not sure that anyone feels UnitedHealthcare as a for profit health insurance company really helped them in their life besides their employees.

So - the synthetic QAs datasets in the Vidore datasets are exactly like that 90% text, 10% charts/tables. OCR + BM25 is at ~90% NCDG@5 which is pretty decent. ColPali/Ours is at ~98%.

It is a small upgrade, but one nonetheless. The complexity, and the cost of multi-vectors *might* not make this worth it, really depends on how accuracy-critical the task is.

For example, one of our customers who does this over FDA monographs, which is like 95%+ text, and 5% tables - they misses were extremely painful - even though there weren't that many in text-based pipelines. So, the migrations made sense to them.

> For to define "reasoning"

I'd say reasoning is the process of applying logic to draw inferences from some information/axioms/assumptions. For instance if you're asked "can a fridge fit in a bread-box?" and (implicitly or explicitly) go through:

1. A fridge is much larger than a bread-box

2. Larger objects cannot fit inside smaller objects without flexibility

3. Neither objects are sufficiently flexible

4. Therefore, a fridge cannot fit in a bread-box

Then I'd be happy saying you have used reasoning to reach your answer.

> How can knowledge be encoded in a machine? [...] LLMs say that knowledge is encoded in the relationships between words [...]

I don't think it'd be fully correct to say that knowledge is only encoded by relations between words. The input/output of the model is tokens of text, but internally it'll be converted into high-dimensional semantic vector spaces of concepts.

Different words describing the same concept ("Bread-Box", "breadbin", ...), or even images in the case of multi-modal models, can be associated with the internal representation of a bread-box, from which useful semantic manipulations/inferences can be made about the concept and not just the word used to reference it (like approximating the bread-box's size, a factor potentially learned from images but applied to answer a textual question).

Ask what this looks like a solution to.

Scenario: Your local town assessor hates $ethnic_minority and starts assessing everything in $minority_neighborhood at 5x its former value so that they get taxed to death.

Scenario: Your local town assessor hates rich people and starts assessing everything in $wealthy_neighborhood at 5x its former value so that they get taxed to death.

Scenario: Libertarian demagogue mayor decides to eliminate income and sale taxes, and this is his proposal to fund what few public services will remain (at a very low rate). It works, but having virtually no public services remaining has predictable effects and gets him thrown out of office. Rather than rebuild the old system (and start an interminable fight over the specifics in the legislature) the decision is made by the next administration to simply adjust the rate on the new one upwards by a thousand percent.

I'm not saying these are credible scenarios, but treat this like a novel where you've written the last chapter; What is the most plausible way that a polity got from here to there? It's a more circumstantial way of thinking - "How might this occur?" than planning hypotheticals, which work more like "How will I achieve this next year in our current universe using my own actions".

I don't think you understand the scale of the problem... Plugging leaking wells in the US alone is estimated to cost $280b, that's 10 years of net profit for Shell or ExxonMobil. Even taking the top 5 world oil companies _profit_ from 2022 (most profitable year so far) you're short $80b, for the US alone, and that's only onshore wells.

> Researchers estimate that there are between 2-3 million abandoned oil and gas wells in the United States, and more than 117,000 of those, across 27 states, are “orphaned”—that is, uncapped, unproductive, and with no responsible party identified to manage leakage or pollution risks

> KF filters can be used for removing heading induced signal

> filters can be zeroed on regions with no shafts to see if an enhanced response can be amplified when processing the return over ground with a shaft to the surface

OK - I see, look for outliers as positives, though the input signals here are not clear I can see the path. Your KF filters produce a "likely signal" and that is used downstream to actually do estimation. Probably, if I've learned anything, by plotting those "likely signals" on a map and dispatching a team with cameras.

> Other tells for lost 'hidden' shafts might include Lidar profiles of spoil heaps

Here we're outside what I'd call just "filtering". It's more like a big data science problem to model and label mounds.

I was just confused by zeroing in on "KF" in the comment above. If we're talking a big data pipeline, then yeah, KF has its place in all that.

Its entirely because you're looking at different numbers. When the average person complains about grocery prices doubling in the past few years, they're not looking at the GDP. People take "How much money do I get in my pocket at the end of each month?" and compare it with "How much does it cost to buy what I need?". The first answer is generally tracked by the Employment Cost Index. The second is by the Consumer Price Index. If the second increases at a faster rate than the first, then people get angry.
The problem is if software companies had to take care of their old programs/vulnerabilities they'd instantly go bankrupt.

I can appreciate these instruments now, especially in their historical context, legacy in music, and from a technical perspective. But I still carry a 30 year old dislike of "that FM sound", for the dumbest of reasons:

I was in college in the 90s. My roommate had a PC with a Soundblaster card, and he played this Star Wars game incessantly. It has a terrible, insipid, repetitive, infuriatingly annoying soundtrack that I grew to despise with every molecule of my being, mostly because I was subjected to it as an eternal everlasting torment, but also because I had an Amiga and my computer was clearly superior in every way especially when it came to sound.

Anyway, hearing this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TexOZwatuLg - constantly caused me to associate all FM sounds, even in good music, with this cheap "wah wah wah ee ee wah wah wah" noise, which I've only partly shaken decades after the trauma. Also, when he wasn't playing that one, he was playing this Dune game (https://youtu.be/gOscXf0Fpmk?si=hUZ8g0GZ48CKfKzh&t=7394) with a more varied but equally cheap sound, and on top of that playing the game triggers the most repetitive samples ever devised by man. Reporting, acknowledged, reporting, acknowledged... oh, the torture.

Where was I? Ah, that's why I'm not a fan of FM synthesizers.
