Yeah the point of this long "incendiary" [sic] blog post seems to be "hang on to the output for a bit before passing it on to the user and you have success defeated AGPLv3" except I don't think a reasonable judge would agree with that at all. Also, the OP seems to think "receiving output from program" doesn't count as "interaction" and I don't agree with that.

This coming from a recent dspy user hitting its pain points.

- The GitHub page is very busy

- A clear example should come up early on the page. It's only when I got to the fiddle I could see a motivating example i.e the extractions, functions and tests.

- Then a section for running tests/evaluations

-Then deployment or run with/without the baml cli

- I do wonder if all the functions have to be so tightly coupled with the model. In dspy my modules are model agnostic and I can evaluate behaviour across different models. It's not so clear how to do this

I like AIs with a personality; I like them to shoot from the hip. 4o does this better than o1.

o1 however is often better for coding and for puzzle-solving, which are not the vast majority of uses of LLMs.

o1 is so much more expensive than 4o that it makes zero sense for it to be a general replacement. This will never change because o1 will always use more tokens than 4o.
It's a gift horse, and you say it needs dental work? ;-)

I think most of the essentials remain true today. As for hardware accelerators, they're all some variation of SIMD or an ASIC built to run a specific algorithm.

Von Neumann stuck us with the program counter, and all the waiting that comes along with it. It's almost impossible to walk away from his legacy.
Thinking Fast and Slow is a result of some 20 years of regularly publishing and talking about those ideas with others.

Most really memorable works fit that same mold if you look carefully. An author spends years, even decades, doing small scale things before one day they put it all together into a big thing.

Comedy specials are the same. Develop material in small scale live with an audience, then create the big thing out of individual pieces that survive the process.

Hamming also talks about this as door open vs door closed researchers in his famous You And Your Research essay
At Tianfu Airport in Chengdu, there are large screens with cameras attached that recognize your face and tell you which gate to go to. Convenient but scary, like many things in China.

You've just done it.

Flag an account negative, chase the loop (spiral?).

To my other point about API to these systems, it's rad because you can build your own accept/reject groups.

Don't even need AI to detect your "out group" - FastText is good enough to filter.

I feel like the comments are the only important part. I’d rather not have single quoted strings or unquoted identifiers to be honest. Trailing commas are nice to have though.

All I miss in JSON are comments and a native datetime type. Everything else, I’m fine with.
I've always been a big fan of KDL in principle, haven't used it in anger. After that HCL, then YAML, with JSON and others being my least favourite to use.

Of course the hard part is gaining enough critical mass to make a significant switch. JSON had AJAX. YAML had Rails. What could make JSON5 or KDL break out?
It is very noticeable that the gambling shops are clustered around the poorest parts of every town.

I grew up near a gambling shop. You would see the punters desparately trying to eek out every last puff on their roll-up cigarettes, while the gambling shop owner would drive up in his Rolls Royce.
It's ground beef. The rule is you must cook it to the proper internal temperature. This is reasonable food safety. This simply precludes medium as an option.

If they grind their own meat or use something like ground chuck or ground round you can get it medium.
I am lucky that I do consulting through my own company, setting my own schedule and availability. It would be impossible otherwise.

Just as one small example, daycares/schools will call for you to pickup your kid -- blowing up your day -- at the slightest indication of illness. With four kids going to school, this means two to six+ times a month your day is going to be completely blown up at any moment. I'm not complaining (though when I was a kid if you had a bit of a stomach ache you chilled in the nurse's office for a bit and 9 times out of 10 go back to class), but the average person cannot accommodate this without quickly finding themselves unemployed. This is just one of a million cases where two working parents and few or no supports leave you in a precarious situation.

I mean these are Great Whites for the most part not Tiger sharks but ... man, I honestly believe that ever single Great White attack was a mistake on the sharks part.

And even for non-humans - there's a great video in there of 4 or 5 sharks all circling a dead or dying seal. One by one they all get in close and then one by one they all take a pass. The seal later washed up on the beach not touched by any shark. The guy behind the video speculated that the seal was poisoned by eating fish infected with a red-tide type bacteria - the sharks just won't touch seal like that.
Oddly enough, Chuck E Cheese has been trying to “rebrand” itself since COVID. During the pandemic they actually operated as a shadow kitchen pizza chain and possibly as a result, the quality of their pizza (at least at our local restaurant) has substantially improved, to the point that I would rank it above a couple other nationwide chains. The atmosphere is very different from the dark, grody, funky 1980s rat pizza restaurant, and is now a loud party atmosphere with TV screens constantly blasting kiddie music videos. They’ve shifted their age demographic from “family” to “kids”, and their locations have become much cleaner.
Yeah that’s amazing! Plants and moths just co-evolving some fascinating and beautiful traits.

If you already have a bunch of JSON documents, you can keep using them with JSON5.

Thank you! In the future I want to add AI to maximize matching. As well as use it to improve CVs.
> everyone is rejecting their code

That's not what "rollbacks" means. "Rollbacks" means other people accepted their code, let it get into production, and then an issue surfaced that forced the change to be rolled back, and this happened multiple times. So at a minimum, there have to be other people besides this particular coder who made mistakes, multiple times.

If other people rejected their code multiple times in code review, the problem wouldn't be "multiple rollbacks", it would be "multiple rejections in code review", and yes, in that situation you have a much better case for being up front about "quality issues in their code", since the process itself is working and highlighting that specific issue.

> you know full well the answer

If you are operating on the belief that only this particular report bears responsibility for "multiple rollbacks", then I think you do not "know full well the answer". You are ignoring the fact that other people had to let this poor quality code get into production in order to have rollbacks happen. You are also ignoring your own responsibility as a manager (as the sibling post to yours by cutemonster pointed out) to address issues like this before they result in multiple instances of a problem with production code (see my response to the sibling post I just mentioned).
Japan generally doesn't see rules as meant to uplift people, they are meant to instill discipline.

Look, I'm on HN, I agree with looking beyond rules and freeing information. But universities and institutions generally don't want to be filled with non-conformists
This is not correct. Atmos doesn’t just happen. The artist (or label) has to supply an atmos mix. There are some labels which are supplying “upmixed” Atmos audio - but this is now being rejected by Apple. So generally speaking if you hear an Atmos mix this has been consciously and specifically created.

Albeit some Atmos engineers are better than others.
Yes the single child is usually unsociable and verging on narcissistic.

Your issue here is that you have labeled the single kids life as good and the multi sibling family as bad .

It used to be the opposite. People would pity a single child.
> I like AIs with a personality

You are confusing training artifacts for "personality."

> could be better for coding and for puzzle-solving, which are not the vast majority of uses of LLMs.

To see a product fail to evolve and merely stratify itself gives a solid hint as to what it's likely future is going to be.
The article notes this particular healthcare fund made billions of dollars in profit for the year and one of the parties interviewed speculates that this individual's care would represent a few minutes of that.

The gastroenterologist is not the expensive part, either, the expensive part was the manufacturing process for the drug. It would be super cool to invest the billions of profit for this insurance company into developing more efficient ways to produce this category of drug. Alas,

Instead we are investing in finding the most underhanded ways possible to deny medical care for each patient, all the while pretending we are not making medical decisions for them.
There is an important difference. With stocks, the punter wins on average. With gambling, the punter loses on average.

You can still lose all your money on stocks, with a combination of bad choices and bad luck. But it is much easier to lose it on the horses.

Right, but I expect their extensive post-training they're doing will be something they carry over to their own pre-training initiative they've been gearing up for.
It's probably more then just being smart enough to realize that we're not worth the effort - Orca echolocation presumably gives them a comprehensive insight into just what's going on inside us regarding composition.

>80% of kids under 18 have siblings in the USA today.

I wasn't claiming that all or most kids are single children. I was observing that by your philosophy those single children would somehow have the best outcomes (in a multivariate manner). I don't think that's the case.

Sure.

You are right about the theoretical capabilities of the populace, but in practice the psychological profile is such that there isn't much weight to your words. Many people could each think no one else cares because collective action is nothing if a collective doesn't form. And to some extent, they're not wrong. If I devote my life to fighting oil pipeline activity, here and now, how much can I achieve? Am I going to be able to reach the critical mass of allies to push against one bill or event? How about n bills? So you're right, but you would be a lot more right if humans could act like unfeeling automatons when necessary.

> As I said, this powerlessness is a meme.

Exactly. And because it is, it has made us powerless. Funny how that works, genuinely.
Do you think this is worth posting as a top-level comment? There's already lots of speculation in this thread (confusion even), and I appreciate you bringing an authoritative reference to the discussion.
The project description describes it as json plus syntax from emcascript 5.1 (commonly called ES5) [the official name of javascript is emcascript]. I imagine that is where the name comes from.

Although it doesn't really make sense since most of the stuff they add predates ES5.
The Amazon preview included a page advocating for systems Hungarian in naming variables.

I am no longer interested in the book.
For comments, adding "_comment": "..." fields can work pretty well.

> JSON text exchanged between systems that are not part of a closed ecosystem MUST be encoded using UTF-8

same is true of YAML as a JSON superset
It's exactly the same as using a complex networking protocol to transmit a very simple text string across the internet. There's reasons why it's efficient, and ignoring them is like asking why we can't just netcat from local ip to local ip. Ceremony is, unfortunately, necessary, as is preserving formalities and egos.
I bet `: “` is more common than a lonely double quote, except at the end of a list of quoted values.

Eh, who knows? But I’m skeptical that the omitted comma actually saves any space in common situations.
Even when the original author said it was "discovered"?

JSON5 is closer to "javascript object notation" than JSON itself. It's partly an update and partly a removal of arbitrary restrictions.

If JSON had comments, people would start putting data in comments (mostly annotations probably). What will be next? Allow apostrophes for strings? Add schemas so that parsing JSON is getting blocked by firewall rules? No thanks.
I assumed it was a play on HTML5 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here, I'll highlight the bit you missed:

> What it turned out to be in the end
I think the name just means that it sits in-between JSON and ES5 (i.e., it's a superset of JSON and subset of ES5).

edit: well as this comment thread indicates, the name is pretty confusing for everyone :)
Would be schadenfreude to see life insurance denied on the basis of preexisting careers.
50/50 on that. Had a near miss there. Borderline type 2. Blasted weight down from 115kg to 65kg and changed diet.

Now I still eat pizza, pasta, bread and chocolate all the time. Just reasonable amounts of it as part of a balanced diet. And not the crap shovelled out by fast food restaurants.
It's going to be difficult to be taken seriously when you refer to the people who disagree with you as "the AI is fake and sucks crowd".

The name of the shadow kitchen is "Pasqually's Pizza & Wings". If you read the "Our Story" page on their website, it says that they "leverage the operational infrastructure of Chuck E. Cheese kitchens across the country".

Pasqually is one of the animatronic characters, he is a chef.
If the license makes it inconvenient for a bad actor to use the software and that results in a less competitive application, then the license is doing its job - someone else, who respects the license, will release a service that uses the software in the way it was intended to, and it’ll be a more appealing option.

I agree it has its loopholes - as all licenses have - but it is mostly doing its job.
There's something to be said for the hard limitations of json that made it successful.

Because of that it didn't become XML or YAML or markdown or protobufs or *RPC or microsoft config file format or all the rest. All those formats have "reasons", but they are harder to understand, harder to parse or not as portable or on and on...

(that said, I wouldn't mind comments. JUST comments).
The title seems misleading. Unless I'm missing something, all he did was scrape a news feed, which should only require a couple days of work to set up.

The fact that he left it running for years without finding the time to do anything with the data isn't that interesting.
Help me understand. The UK government basically said that parents are not responsible enough to make dietary decisions for their children so the government needs to step in and do it for them?

Does that not seem like an overreach? Its not like 4 year olds are driving to McDonald's by themselves and ordering burgers. The parents are the ones being targeted here.
That's not what I mean here by personality. I mean that for everyday chats, I like AIs to freely express its own internal beliefs about something without having to think them through. It should know when to override what I said, to not be a mere robot, and this is where 4o shines.

4o versions have progressively become better at instruction following. I don't think their peak has been reached yet.
afaik the current understanding is that red meat contains carcinogens and that this is not related to saturated fat.

I remember when the first edition came out---back in the early 90's!!!! I was young, slim, had a full head of hair---and this new textbook was the bomb. Vastly better than any previous textbook on computer architecture.

I can't believe it is still the best. it's been like 30 years. During that time, so much has happened--the death of supercomputer companies like Convex and Cray, SIMD going from expensive computers like the MASPAR MP-1 to being on virtually every processor, the dot com boom, the rise of google-style server farms, etc etc.

And now the transition to neural net processing.

I mean, it is a testament to the authors that they could keep their competitors from even thinking about trying to write a competing book for so long. It is a great case study in how to stay relevant in tech for the long term.

But man, before it came out, every year 2 or 3 new textbooks in computer architecture came out, each one detailing the next cool thing which computer architectures were being called upon to do.

It's exhibit A of Peter Thiel's case that we are living in an era of very low innovation. If Computer Architecture were a really healthy field, classes would have to be taught from recently-published papers, because it was moving faster than a textbook could be published.

Hat's off to the authors, but man, this is really depressing.

I think it allows for too much. I was glad that JSON only supports double-quoted strings. It is a feature that removes discussions about which quotes to use. Or even whether to use quotes at all (we still need them for keys with colons or minus in it, so what gives?).

The only thing that JSON is really missing are comments and trailing commas. I use JSONC for that. It's what VSC uses for the config format and it works.

No, he's your drunk uncle who sounds smart when you're young. When you learn to form opinions of your own, you realize that his opinions are worthless hot air.

Many years ago I went to a session where he promoted asynchronous Javascript as the "one true way." In the Q&A, I pointed out that callbacks made code much harder to read and maintain compared to threaded code; and then asked if there was a cleaner way to do it.

His answer was quite rude. A few years later, we got the "async" keyword, which solved the problem.
I feel like you are intentionally saying ridiculous things, so really no point in talking. The idea that "the Sunni world is mostly fine with Israel" is such a ridiculous idea it's not worth discussing further with you.

You have put up a straw man. Really, several:

1. Falcon 9 wasn't designed to do a propulsive landing. That is works at all is fortunate. That it could be made practical and reliable is excellent engineering and operations.

2. SpaceX gets some cost advantage by having reusable boosters, but they notably don't say how much. How much is eaten up by refurbishing and engine replacement? nobody knows.

3. The real question is how can anyone compete with SpaceX's launch cadence.

4. Falcon 9 is not fully reusable. Nobody has a fully (sort of) reusable rocket since the Shuttle retired. Starship is vastly better than Shuttle, but that does not guarantee success.
