To me the chess AI example he used was perhaps not the most apt. Human players may not be able to reason on as far a horizon as AI and therefore find some of AI's moves perplexing, but they can be more or less sure that a Chess AI is optimizing for the same goal under the same set of rules with them. With Reasoners, alignment is not given. They may be reasoning under an entirely different set of rules and cost functions. On more open ended questions, when Reasoners produce something that human don't understand, we can't easily say whether it's a stroke of genius, or misaligned thoughts.
They can be used for anything you want. The CPU treats them as described in the document.

They're not fast, though. You probably don't want to run trapped fake instructions in tight loops, but you don't want that no matter how they're implemented.

I can't say for sure as I didn't see the source code, but it definitely felt that way, back in the day. Compared to "regular" tracker, OctaMED always sounded more digital, more aliased, more bit-crushed, which I presume was an audio artifact of sending A/B samples to DAC.

Hi, I'm the author. Thanks for sharing, was great to wake up to my blog post on the front page! Would love to hear any feedback or if I missed anything.
Maybe I'm not being creative enough, but for the average living room setup that would currently have a TV (e.g. (couch with a coffee table facing a TV stand), where exactly do you put the projector? You could put in on the coffee table, but that takes up space and doesn't look great. You could mount it to the ceiling, but that's more of a pain than just putting a TV on the stand you already have. And either method makes it significantly more difficult to connect anything, including power, to the projector.

Don't get me wrong, I think projectors are cool, but I'm not sure about their applicability to a large percentage of TV use-cases. Aside from expensive home theater type setups or janky dorm room style installs, both of which I'm a huge fan of, I'm not sure how the average person is supposed to use a projector. I would love to be wrong though, especially if it means I can use a projector in my fairly average living room layout.
In my experience, the notification you see at the end of article was used to advertise your brand/site.

The number of obnoxious people/guerilla ad companies that printed and programmed NFC tags and stuck them in random places was way too high. In some cases, they would replace the businesses QR code with the NFC tag. In some cases that NFC notification would pop up instead of the business’s menu. Quite annoying.

Then there was a case where the person stuck the raw tags _under the table_, so putting your phone down in random places would spam this notification on your screen.
I'm also shocked how small "nodelandia" is and that its not even its own continent. I guess we all overestimate the size of our bubbles
I found their AI Foundry thing so hard to figure out I couldn't tell if they had released weights (as opposed to a way of running it via an API).

Since there are GGUFs now so someone must have released some weights somewhere.

Funny, I've been working on a similar project, inspired by uxn. Initially, mine was also going to use 16-bit words, but I've since moved to 32-bit signed words. It'll be a bit heftier than this project in other ways, too, but not by much.
> The best thing my school ever did for me was give me a paper planner and teach me how to use it.

While in general I'm a fan of "learn how to do things by hand for didactic value" (e.g. learning how to do long division before using the calculator to do it), I don't think a paper planner provides any didactic value to learn before replacing it with an electronic calendaring tool.
... which is, by the way, the same audio quality I would describe PPG's sound with.
Opinions sans reputation or data can still be helpful when they identify the landscape and issues, e.g.,:

A main goal of design is to identify what's not feasible through logic. So much easier than prototyping. But still "can it be done?" is a far cry from "can we do it?".

The benefit of prototyping is to show that something is possible. There the key question is integration: can persons Pn make code C on system S that meets both goal X and constraint Y - i.e., a design as product development.

Leaving aside bad-faith behaviors, the real question is socialization: 1. how to gather collective wisdom in some relatively natural and encouraging manner to encourage collective deep consideration of hard problems to avoid waste and get things done. And 2. the same for motivation: getting everyone aligned, understanding their role and the quality/schedule risks.

Given the uncertainties and costs of product development, the prototype has significant advantage of seeming "real" relative to some "ideal" solution, and thus can bias teams to the concrete, particularly when issues are contended. Prototype-driven planning likely reflects lack of organizational cohesion (and ironically kicks that can further down the road).

So generally I see prototyping as validating designs, and try to make the design discussions lean enough to engage otherwise-prototyping engineers.
If your city doesn't use NFC transit, you can also buy a box of blank cards. They have unique IDs like transit tickets, even without being programmed.
Not one I'm aware of since my oldest has been at the school, but there has been at another in the same city
> however, that saying applies to war, politics, negotiations

It’s not even an argument against planning. You’d be a fool to go to war without a plan. The point of the saying is that you’d be a fool not to tear up your plan and start improvising as soon as it stops working.
On the other hand, my sarcastic post got much more upvotes than my normal posts do (currently at 55 pts). Obviously fake internet points is not the same thing as a good post. Many upvoted things don't deserve to be and vice versa. However it is certainly a mixed signal here.
I'm really glad that I see someone else doing something similar. I had the epiphany a while ago that if LLMs can interpret textual instructions to draw a picture and output the design in another textual format that this a strong indicator that they're more than just stochastic parrots.

My personal test has been "A horse eating apples next to a tree" but the deliberate absurdity of your example is a much more useful test.

Do you know if this is a recognized technique that people use to study LLMs?
Japan makes car ownership ridiculously expensive and inconvenient. People spend an average of 100,000 yen on a car per month, that’s a third of the average monthly income.

Speed limits are low across the board, and there’s tons of traffic calming such that a trip by car is often slower than by train or bike.

Yes, Tokyo has the best public transport in the world, but people would still choose cars if they were faster and cheaper.
Ah, we did the under-the-table thing with NFC stickers in school! Love rickrolling a well-placed phone on a classroom desk lol.

I'm personally not a huge fan of needing to use NFC tags in the real world (parking meters use them for payment around here), but I do like creating tags.
Exactly. Let's say you have a data pipeline in dbt or your favourite transformation tool. All the source data will be in your cold storage, AWS S3, all the intermediate data (TEMP tables) is written to NVME, and then the final tables are created in S3 & registered in your catalog. AWS recently released S3 Tables, which aims to make the maintenance easier with Apache Iceberg as well: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/s3-tab...

You can use spot instances if you can afford more latency or might prefer on-demand instances and keep them warm if you need low latency. Databricks (compute) and Snowflake (warehouse) do that automatically for you for the premium price.
> True part-time work is hard to find because most companies would rather hire someone to work 4 x 40 hour weeks on a project instead over the part timer who wants to do it in 8 x 20 hour weeks or 16 x 10 hour weeks.

My last two contract jobs have been old customers - more than 5 years ago - with whom I left on good terms and who reached out for more work.

Secondly, I've started "team" working with a colleague so I can apply for 40 hour per week jobs and only have to put in 20 hours per week myself. The clients were unsure about it at first but soon realised they are actually getting two full-timers for the price of one, particularly when something goes wrong or something needs to be delivered asap.

With my colleague, I charge a 10% admin fee because I'm the one invoicing the client and I pay the colleague immediately each week whether or not the client pays me. My colleague has reciprocated and I've done work for them (and paid their 10% admin fee).

dillo-0.1.0 release notes from March 2000:

> * Changed the licence to GPL. (Raph agreed on that)

So it's probably just a typo in the article. Intended point is that the license was changed from Gzilla's private copyright notice[1] to the GPL of the time, which would probably be v2.

Nonetheless Dillo's code is also licensed under GPLv3 now.

I just don't know if this is true.

The music programming language Csound is a good test.

There is not a huge amount of csound code online, but what is online is going to work.

The models are just terrible with csound. They can not mix and match at all. They can't abstract at all.

An even better test is to have the LLM try to make a piece of music in a certain style in csound. That is when you can see that the model is not abstracting the concepts at all.

Zero. none. nada.

Of course, it gives the probablistic next token prediction but because none of this is in the training data, the most probable output is basically noise/nonsense.

In general, I think we highly underestimate how hard it is to come up with things that are not in the training data.

Singal does nothing of the sort, nor does he encourage his followers to. He reports on a politically charged topic in a fair way, and criticizes bad reporting.

Painting Singal as the perpetrator in this situation is an absurd reversal of what is actually going on.
You could definitely run an 8B model on that, and some of those are getting very capable now.

The problem is that often you can't run anything else. I've had trouble running larger models in 64GB when I've had a bunch of Firefox and VS Code tabs open at the same time.
I heard that some 2024 models refuse to go through the setup wizard without internet access. Not sure what happens if you disconnect it after setup though. But my Amazon Fire Stick already refuses to do anything without internet even though I could stream locally with vlc.

We already see signs that it might head this way. Numerous IoT junk (Facebook portal and Google Home Minis come to mind), will ignore DHCP-provided DNS servers and use their own (usually 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8 respectively) if they don't get successful connections to their mothership. My devices are old enough that they don't try DoH, but I'd be shocked if most of these haven't moved to that by now.

It's not unethical if it's an assistant that enables the user to live with greater comfort and ease. If it helps with recall and memory, with appointment-setting, with planning, or simply if it serves as a companion which suggests books and movies -- it's really the opposite of unethical.

What it shouldn't do is give specific advice on medical matters. Even if it's no worse than a doctor, or even better than a doctor, 9 times out of 10, that one exception could cause serious trouble. Unlike regular Chat-GTP users, people with dementia are already quite sick, are (usually) already on medication, and require more thoughtful care.

More importantly, it shouldn't be capable of mimicking a living or dead person. You'd probably need to hardwire it so that it has a name and "personality" of its own, which can't be changed by the user.
In general I'd agree with that, but IMO the benefit of having a FOSS alternative to a proprietary product overrides it in this case.

> Well, I think it's the combination of the apps as you described with the devices to connect to them always being within arms reach.

I wholly agree.

As for the personal experience, I am only 21 so I left high school (in europe) around 3 years ago. TikTok started to boom around 4 years ago. What I've noticed is that my peers who are just a few years younger than me use these apps much more. To the point where it's just unbearable to watch a movie with them because they open their phone up every minute just to get fed some random content. My sister who is 4 years younger than me is insecure to the point of having developed an eating disorder, and I know that social media played a big part in that. Both the insecurity and specifically the pressure to eat healthy.

The algorithms in these apps really play into your faults. If you engage with videos about healthy eating because you are insecure about your weight you will only get fed more of the same. And the creators on these platforms can make extremely toxic and harmful content.

I myself have tried to get TikTok to only feed me conspiracy theories and managed to do it in minutes. Some of my friends have succeeded in getting it to show self-harm content in a few minutes as well. I really find these platforms that give you absolutely no control over the content you're fed dangerous.

> the situation seems not much better for older people

I personally don't know many older people that really consume much phone content. My parents sure don't, neither does my older sister or my colleagues. For the most part anyway. So at least in my social circles the situation does seem better.

I even know a lot of people of my age that actively try to fight it. For instance by disabling video suggestions on YouTube.

There are existing brands that sell dumb TVs. Sceptre is one that I'm fond of. They compete on they aren't the cheapest usually but quite reasonable. Most people want to buy cheaper "smart" TVs though and deprive them off the Wi-Fi password, which makes it harder for dumb TV manufacturers to stay in business and get cheaper through economies of scale, which further compound the problem.
The author already mentions the benefits of streaming devices. What difference does it make whether you have a dumb or smart tv if the only functionality you use is from a streaming device?
It reminds me of that Apple paper. They found that minor changes in the prompt can have large changes in the result.

> In this example, we want to allow the user to drop a PNG image into our Bevy app running in the Browser. The app should load the image into the Bevy Asset machinery and display it like any other image file. See the animation to the right visualizing this.

That's not what use case means. I am curious, what is the use case for this? Is it just a proof of concept?
Yeah, for me it is about intentionality. I turn on the TV because I have something in mind I need that TV to display.

Often a computer game or a TV show.

But I have in mind what I want first, THEN turn it on and do the thing.

I have visited people who like to "have the TV on in the background" for whatever reason and it irks me, I can't stand it.

I received a paper planner every school year from elementary school until I went to college. In elementary school the teacher would stand over us while we wrote in it.

I constantly would forget it at school. It would get lost at home. If the teacher wasn't reminding us about long running projects from weeks ago it would just be forgotten since I wasn't looking that far back.

Then I got to college and someone showed me that they put their assignments in their Google calendar and told me I could set up alerts in my email and later my phone. There were never any forgotten assignments ever again. Paper planners are provably worthless to me.
