Whenever an on-device variant gets figured out, this could be a fun way to keep up with journaling. Especially if you want an alternative to the dopamine steam social media provides.

In fact, this type of program could lend itself very well to on-prem hardware. Social media is by its nature asynchronous; waiting minutes or hours for a reply is completely acceptable. That means your only real hardware requirement is enough RAM to fit the LLM.

Would be a lovely experiment to try and make a simulacrum of Usenet or the forums of old, since even days between replies are acceptable in that case.
Just noticed the unmatched quote in the the title :(
How often do you flush the coolant in your car?
How often do you jack it up and check for play in your ball joints?
How often do you clean your Refrigerator Coils?
How often do you clean your exhaust fans in your home?
Do you seal any grout every year?
Do you test your GFI outlets monthly like recommended?
When was the last time you Lubricate Garage door springs and tracks?
You drain your water heater yearly and remove sediment, right?

These are basic life tasks that everyone can and should do as a basic functional adult adulting 'properly' and 'correctly' with best outcomes more important than finding/eating good pizza, but probably don't. People just can't sweat all of the details of daily life, and they definitely can't for basic daily sustenance nor entertainment, and that is OK and actually a good thing.

Talladega Nights is extremely mediocre no matter how it's ranked/placed. Elvis movies weren't meant to be remembered 60 years later, they were meant to give people a happy afternoon in the moment, and by their success at the box office it looks they did that. A fleeting moment of happiness doesn't need to be a 60 year artifact. It can be just a fleeting moment of happiness. (But the fact you are talking about them 60 years later actually kinda says something, doesn't it?)

Domino's is better than the majority of rich people ate throughout history ate. It's delicious. The fact that there is something more delicious doesn't change that. It's hot and comforting and comes right to my door quickly and consistently in a way I can afford. I'm not going to enjoy it less just because... something else exists. Something else ALWAYS exists. It's a bajillion times better than a bowl of oatmeal which is the other staple food I can have for the same effort.

Spotify/Netflix's algorithmic generated music/shows are better than the majority of entertainment throughout history. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyLsO6LpLSI

Temu mass produced textiles washed and cleaned before each use are better than the 'we'll just brush it a bit and it's clean' fancy, worn all winter for 10 years with just some brushing, wool suit 'custom tailored' to fit a now much changed body.

Take a breath and appreciate rather than critic. The world is AMAZING. Anyone can be a critic. It's the easiest and least regarded job in the world. Ever had a QA department that thought their job was to be critics instead of do actual QA? They were always the worst/most useless/annoying QA department when it came to actual good software. This whole Netflix hate thing is the same. If Netflix did somehow turn into an art house it would SUCK at it's intended purpose. We need fleeting moments of entertainment as much as we need 60 year relic films.

Edit: ah. This paper is from May 2023. Might be worth putting that in the title.

> Models with around 125M parameters such as GPT-Neo (small) or GPT-2 (small) can rarely generate coherent and consistent English text beyond a few words

These models are 5 years old.

I have to wonder if the authors have seen RWKV 7 0.1B, because it blows away just about every other model I've seen at that size.

The capabilities it has vs the examples in the paper are night and day.

I'm surprised at how even some of the smartest people in my life take the output of LLMs at face value. LLMs are great for "plan a 5 year old's birthday party, dinosaur theme", "design a work-out routine to give me a big butt", or even rubber-ducking through a problem.

But for anything where the numbers, dates, and facts matter, why even bother?
Not me but Craig Wright aka Faketoshi referenced court cases hallucinated by a LLM in his appeal.

Sure. This isn't most prospective EV buyers. It's not a coincidence that the most-popular car colours are white, grey and black [1]. At the end of the day, most people don't want a loud car.

If you are going to do that, you could stick with Jupyter + nbconvert.

I rarely use notebooks directly anymore unless I require the output to be stored. Do most everything in VSCode with interactive .py files. Gets you the same notebook-y experience + all of the Python tooling.
Ghostscript seems fine for this task.
This is the reality. A lot of NYC style pizzerias have opened in Cincinnati lately. They are spot on but it is not good pizza. The dough was designed to be eaten while walking the streets. Therein lies the root of all the compromises to quality. All the pizzaiolos are paranoid that you are going to try to eat it luke warm and practically beg you to heat it up before eating. Some include instructions sheets with every pizza. Ugh.

Grandmas are actually decent if they manage to ferment the dough long enough. I have bit into my share of 24hr dough. Not recommended.

Lingua Latina is for adults who already have some base level knowledge of tenses in their own language, preferably a Romance or Germanic language (as I believe some languages don't have tenses), not for children who have no concept of them. Once you start reading the book, it really does start to make sense while teaching you the various forms. It's on Internet Archive if anyone wants to read it: https://archive.org/details/lingva-latina-per-se-ilustrata-p...
> The choice of the word “fer” isn’t the most obvious choice for “bring”, though.

Well, if you asked me how to say "bring" in Latin, that would be my first choice, and the irregularity of the verb tells us that it's very common in general, though not necessarily for this.

Lewis and Short has "In general, to bear, carry, bring"; "In particular, to move, bring, lead, conduct, drive, raise", which seems to hit the concept of "bringing help" squarely in the center. https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=fero&la=la#lexi...
Relying on an explicitly documented implementation behavior that the specification explicitly describes as an option is not an issue. Especially if the behavior is only relied on in a test, where the worst outcome is a failed testcase that is easily fixed.

Even if the behavior went away, UUIDs unlike serials can always be safely generated directly by the application just as well as they can be generated by the database.

Going straight for that would arguably be the "better" path, and allows mocking PRNG to get sequential IDs.
Who think they're facing an existential threat.
Weird, I pass through a dGPU for work VM sometimes on Win10/11 @ 2K without much memory usage except I don't use MSTeams but it doesn't surprise me that it needs 60GB RAM nowadays.

I'm jealous of your system's 256GB, my memory controller looks to max at 128GB but it's kinda old now (DDR4).
Getting the cheapest product always means worse quality. The biggest jump in cost/benefit is between the cheapest product and the second cheapest. So if you only care about price, you should always get the second cheapest product, which will almost guarantee at least 50% better quality than the cheapest. After that, the ratio is diminishing.
I'm testing it for system programming brainstorming, code reviews and Python test units writing, and my impression is that it's a Sonnet 3.5 level model for most tasks. I said a few things here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjCqi9JK440 but in general this is really an open weights frontier model, the first one that we get (IMHO llama 3.1 405B does not fit the definition, and the actual model quality is far from the benchmarks). Also the extreme inference speed due to MoE and other design choices improves the user experience a lot. I also tested asking questions with very large contexts (PDFs, large C files) at play, and it performs very well.

Also don't just focus on this model but check out what DeepSeek mission is, and the CEO words in the recently released interview. They want to be the DJI / Bambulab of AI, basically: leaders and not followers, and after V3 it's hard to say they don't have the right brains to do that.
Most code does not live for a long time. Similar to how consumer products are built for planned obsolescence, code is also built with a specific lifespan in mind.

If you spend time making code bulletproof so it can run for like 100 years, you will have wasted a lot of effort for nothing when someone comes along and wipes it clean and replaces it with new code in 2 years. Requirements change, code changes, it’s the nature of business.

Remember any fool can build a bridge that stands, it takes an engineer to make a bridge that barely stands.

For simple questions like this with unambiguous answers, it is statistically very unlikely that you'll get a bullshit answer from an LLM.
It's a very common way to write in Indian English. What is probably happening here is that ChatGPT is trained in text over the internet and it is possible that there's lot more Indian English text on internet than others, and hence this effect.

For you I'd suggest getting up at a consistent time and do the typical prework stuff and get fed, cleaned up and dressed for your day. Also you should initiate a fitness program, nothing crazy but either start with stretching or if already active do home based excersizes. It is very important to be able to stay in shape without having to go anywhere that way you can just keep up with it with nothing getting in the way. Split up and do one set mon, wed, fri, do other in between. It's ok to have a full day off, and don't forget 2 or 3 days with something that gets your heart and lungs working.
Good luck, the key to handling this is structure, but also keep mental health and don't make it a grind unless you're desperate. Use some of the time to do fun stuff, socialize (do not drink!!) and explore opportunities and interests. '
This has always felt to me like evidence of a sort of computationalism. I am not a computationalist, but the thought is the "universal CPU" needs cycles for each particle. Mass is what takes time to process, so the voids experience no/less computational delay. This reads like the simulation author is messy and constrained, not godlike.
In case you missed the news, it doesn't work the way it was advertised.

Honey _does not_ scour the web for discount codes. Honey instead partners with webpages to provide you a discount code (or not) with the advantage for the webpage being that less people will use a 30% discount code and instead use Honey's 10%.

Of course the really funny part was that basically none of the influencers did due diligence on their counter-party and Honey also took all of the influencer's affiliate money as well.
It is perfectly possible for the first AGI to be stupid. A moron. In fact, I'd bet that's fairly likely.
This works for me! Nobody needs more than 480i anyhow.
Indeed - they're fantastic for specific use-cases, i.e. ECS where instances are "disposable" but they're the last thing you want for something you want running continuously.
Maybe details will come out in future years my and many other people's best guess is that they never really expected to sell all that money and sales are basically the public subsidizing R&D

So some of the design features you get are optimization for low volume sales (e.g. the body shapes and heavy re-use of Model 3 assemblies/components). Some of it is trying new things so they can learn how to not suck at them (think Plymouth Prowler but for a different set of skills).

I assume the eccentricities like the light bar, the actual shape of the vehicle and other stuff are a result of designers leaning into or embracing constraints imposed by the above.

Of course none of this is gonna win you buyers hence the tight lips even before Elon's politics became a subject of scrutiny.
This is a great example of good ideas destroying themselves. "Software should occasionally be able to find out where the computer it is on physically is" is a cool idea, but once it's there every single piece of crapware out there does it constantly.

The developers of the misused code can sue for breach of copyright. The people in breach in this case have money and are worth going after if there are a reasonable number of copies of the code illegally distributed.
This is exactly it. When things are horrible around us, there is a strong temptation to throw ones hands up in apathy and let the rot fester. "Eh, Honey is probably selling my data but I got $5 off my new mattress, so wtv".

We need to resist that call to apathy, stop acquiescing, and start demanding better of others. That, incidentally, often starts at demanding better of ourselves.

More often than not, forms are the database model. They very frequently evolve together. The entire data transfer object to model copy back and forth is unnecessary most of the time
I wouldn't trust an LLM for anything, especially exercise or anything close to medical advice.
Currently, no. But once (undetectable) OS modification is no longer possible, making the undecrypted media unreadable is just a few API restrictions away.

In Android phones for example you cannot screenshot banking apps. And if you root (modify the OS of) your phone, banking apps refuse to work.
Second half advertises its existence in a positive way as they pay for influencers.
For anything that sells for over $100 or so, I think not having to pay for the ISA license is nice, but the main benefit of RISC-V relative to ARM and the like is the flexibility of being allowed to add or remove features at will.
For the love of deity, just include timestamps. It is incredible to me how many blogs do not include a date created or modified.
It's also a story of AWS being so complicated in its various offerings and pricing that a person feels the need to ask an AI what's the best option because it's not obvious at all without a lot of study.
It's not a bad thing if someone is at odds with both extremes because they are in the center. It is a bad thing if they are at odds with both extremes because they are one extreme on some issues and the other extreme on the rest of the issues.

It's like how a house that is averages 68℉ (20℃) by being 68℉ (20℃) all day is a lot more pleasant than house that averages 68℉ (20℃) by being 50℉ (10℃) for half the day and 86℉ (30℃) for the other half of the day.
"I had a friend". Typical.
The takeaway should be, "I should understand the system I'm deploying, regardless of the tool I'm using for search." You relied on ChatGPT to design your deployment strategy and to understand it for you. And consequently you were surprised when it didn't perform the way you expected and you were put on the spot to build a better understanding in order to respond to an incident.

Asking ChatGPT for downsides might be a good exercise, but that's not addressing the root of the issue. If that's all you do then you're still relying on ChatGPT to understand the system and anticipate issues for you. Unless it's ChatGPT's responsibility to maintain the system and ChatGPT's reputation at stake when it suffers incidents, then that prospect should make you uncomfortable.

Consider for instance that it's not uncommon for ChatGPT to have downtime. What are you going to do if your system is down and, by coincidence, so is ChatGPT?
AI chatbots fail to diagnose patients by talking with them
One of the issues is that we have grad students, and they need to publish in order to travel through the same cycle that we went through. As a more senior scientist I would be thrilled to publish one beautiful paper every two years, but then none of my students would ever learn anything or get a job.
It’s the most middle of the road news source in the country.
That is what that paper says. No cpu does that.
This is not a valid Show HN, it should be available without signing up and at least have some screenshots or some content rather than simply asking people to test it (test what? I don't even see what I'm supposed to be testing).
> It does not go to 15kw

It goes to whatever the software tells it to, which is based on the following factors:

- What percentage the battery is at when it starts charging

- Environmental conditions (cold/heat)

- How many other cars are being charged (IIRC most super charger stations don't supply the max amps * the number of ports - they assume some cars will be throttled)

A v3 can get up to 250 kW but only under optimal conditions. The more EVs on the road, the less optimal it becomes.

> You also don't need a battery based on its age, you need it based on its mileage. Some people like my wife only drive 8k miles a year, which is more around 20 years

True, but for reference, "Tesla also provides an 8-year warranty (or up to 150,000 miles, depending on the model) for its batteries, guaranteeing at least 70% capacity retention during this period". The average consumer doesn't understand that their car gets less range over time after use.
This is such a pain to do though, because so much of it is seeing braindead behaviors and not being able to do anything about it.

Putting as much as you can on wired ethernet helps a lot. Still have just as much bogus traffic, but on 1g (or even 100m), there's a lot more room for it.

Everyonce in a while, I look at the broadcast traffic on my wifi and cry.
I've been working on a tool to display the structure (and glosses) of a text. All the structural and definitional annotation is provided by me based on personal knowledge. So far I have most of a single short fable in Mandarin Chinese done. ;D

Does this sound like something you'd be interested in checking out?
Agreed. You should always assume LLMs will give bad advice and verify information independently.
It's useful to see how other people shot themselves in the foot.
Maybe a dumb question. What is backing all the state subsidies? Can't print money forever without also inflating a bubble.
More like never trust an LLM blindly. See their output as advice at most.

Literally everything you described is fixed by reading the documentation.

Using Rails? Read Rails documentation.

Using bare Ruby? Read Ruby documentation.

And literally every programming language is like this. C# won't contain Unity C# classes. Basic Python won't have Numpy classes. JS won't have React functions. And so on. Also it's not like Ruby is the only language to ever have monkey patching...

It's absurd that this is being brought up as a Ruby weakness when both the Ruby website and the Rails website each have amazing documentation and if you actually read the documentation, go through tutorials, it's all laid out very clearly.

https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/

https://rubyonrails.org/docs

Dunno, whenever I learn a new language, I read the official docs. When I learn a new framework, I read the official docs. Even when I was an absolute newbie, I learned from the resources on the official website.
In the the US the PhD is normally part of the masters program (MS/MA) which is earned at the same institution. Usually this takes two years after undergrad. Some can a five year accelerated undergrad + masters, and there are people that finish undergrad in three years. However even then they will want you take take additional courses at the same institution, so it would often be a wash.

In experimental science, the PhD phase after masters typically takes three to five years. So a total of seven years for MS + PhD would not be unusual. For other programs, such as math and humanities, it is normally shorter, but less than five years for masters + PhD would be unusual.
I agree. TPM defends against the most likely threat that typical users are facing. And, where users that are individually targeted, the theft/robbery will more often than not be designed to appear "random".

Because TPM sniffers are now at a material cost of about $15 and can be acquired for a price at under $200, more than a TPM is needed for data encryption, especially for users like a CEO. This is why a firm I used to work for encrypted the key that could unlock user data with both TPM plus Yubikey.
