It can be both.

To fix this sort of problem a wholistic approach is required. Whatever the approach it should apply to all equally so that the market is fair. Offhand, my historic recollection is that STEM generally is traditionally less appealing to those of the female sex (by Science/Biology definition of the phrase), and that there might (rightly?) be a perception of poor work / life balance and career tracks that don't pair well with fulfilling time limited biological imperatives. My personal opinion is that enforced labor regulation that provides sufficient parental leave, work / life balance generally, and generally promotes healthier recognition of employees as humans would be better for society overall.

I also recognize that we're probably not going to get that until the US gets rid of the 'first past the post' madness and adopts a voting system with literally _any_ form of IRV. There just won't be bandwidth for such an issue otherwise. Of said systems, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method is my favorite, but I'd start with ANY IRV, they're (offhand) all less flawed than what we've got.
> Publicly publishing information for others to access and then complaining that ~1 rps takes your site down is not sympathetic. I don't know what the actual numbers and rates are because they weren't reported, but the fact that they weren't reported leads me to assume they're just trying to get some publicity.

They publicly published the site for their customers to browse, with the side benefit that curious people could also use the site in moderation since it wasn't affecting them in any real way. OpenAI isn't their customer, and their use is affecting them in terms of hosting costs and lost revenue from downtime.

The obvious next step is to gate that data behind a login, and now we (the entire world) all have slightly less information at our fingertips because OpenAI did what they do.

The point is that OpenAI, or anyone doing massive scraping ops should know better by now. Sure, the small company that doesn't do web design had a single file misconfigured, but that shouldn't be a 4 or 5 figure mistake. OpenAI knows what bandwidth costs. There should be a mechanism that says, hey, we have asked for many gigabytes or terrabytes of data from a single domain scrape, that is a problem.

> Evaluating potential is difficult. Measure something that isn't in a thin history summary.

Ivy League schools in the US have been doing this for rather a long time now. Whether they are any good at it is subject to significant debate, but they certainly like to pretend that they can evaluate it. Their evaluations tend to show a strong belief in the hereditary properties of "potential", which is not well established in actual objective research.
this is hilarious, what a bunch of grifting cunts.

Are there alternatives to unsloth?

I would love to use it but the open/free version only handles one GPU, and it's unclear how much the paid version would cost. I have some limited access to multiple older NVidia cards and would love to make better use of them while I'm still learning. My budget for learning/projects is rather modest.

Hopefully they succeed. At work I could make a strong case for going with them as they allow keeping data local only, instead of relying on an API.
Achieving representation closer to that of the wider population is not racist.
“Master“ implies that the contents is authoritative somehow, as in “master copy” (meaning 13 in https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/master#Noun). “Main” doesn’t have that connotation.

When one is willing to discard that connotation, then, if anything, “default” would be a more accurate name, because the fact that it is selected by default in certain situations is really the only technical difference compared to other branches.

It's not going to stay common ground for very long if anyone can just set up camp there and claim it for themselves.
yes, it turned out to be a scam to conflate "diversity in thought" with skin color or gender. The term "diversity" became too toxic. The term "equity" was morally dubious / wrong to begin with. Inclusivity is still respectable. So, in the end, DEI must die... Meta is right to start deemphasizing it.

On a semi-related note, I believe they should still moderate lies and mythologies on their platform. 2016 was a horrible time to be a facebook user. We don't want to go back to those days where facebook is toxic mix of clicky lies, untruths and manipulation.
(This sort of thing has been done before, and of course it will never make its way into the official Python distribution; but it's always fun to see.)

>Is it possible to do something similar with a decorator instead of a herestring?

No, this is a fundamental change to Python syntax. To apply a decorator to existing Python code, the decorated code has to compile first, creating a Python object (generally either a function object or "type" i.e. class object) which is passed to the decorator (which is really just a higher-order function with special syntactic support).

But of course, you could write the code to preprocess in a separate file with a different extension, and then have actual Python code which reads and preprocesses it and then evals the result. (The internals could also be written differently, in terms of AST manipulations using the "compiler services" part of the standard library. But this way is probably easier.)

On Linux, you could also have a top-level script which does those steps for a specified input filename, and then specify that script in the shebang line for the Dopy code file.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. I checked the original article again too. As it stands, my understanding is you are claiming:

- gets roughly the same perf change

Which more severe or intense or extensive or impactful historical inequalities are you thinking of?
But most of those new hires were the lowest level employees -- service workers, etc.

Also, in the US Asians, overall, are not economically disadvantaged like most Blacks and Latinos. So I don't think you can really put them together in this particular context. Notice that the largest group of Professionals were Asian (lots of engineers/programmers from India/China as usual).

(Also at the Executive job level, Whites still very on top.)
> This is completely detached from reality.

what's completely detached from reality is that the problem is so bad in (US) cities like NYC that it seems inconceivable that it isn't a universal truth that cities just have an indigent population that regularly threatens and sometimes follows through on threats of violence to passersby.

How did we let the problem get this bad‽

There's a significant correlation between one's personality and their car. Truck drivers are selfish.
If you're of working age, you're going to likely be alive for say 30-50+ more years. And your kids for maybe 70-80+ years.

Tech adoption is now faster than ever, so there's numerous examples of Silicon Valley companies going from 0 to one of the most valuable companies in the world 5-15 years.

Stop thinking about the short term. You're going to be around for the long term, so you're only screwing over yourself.

To the degree that I've seen non-URM males get discriminated against? Not even remotely. Here's some discrimination I've witnessed.

* I've worked at companies where the first thing we did was mark resumes by the candidate's demographics. Two stars for "double diverse" URM women (recruiters' words, not mine), one star for URM males and non-URM women, and "ND" for Asian Males. "Negative diversity".

* I worked at a company that cordoned off a segment of headcount and made it only available to women and URM candidates.

* I worked at companies that docked people's pay if they didn't hit a diversity quota. Remember a "bonus" is just another word for a penalty. If I have $X bonus conditional on reaching Y% women that's the same as a penalty if you don't hit the quota.

I'm sure women have had co-workers assume they weren't developers, or have meetings where they were talked over, etc. But not once have I witnessed a company deliberately try to set up a policy to disadvantage a woman or URM candidate. Whereas for non-URM men, it has been the norm rather than the exception.
You measure how many people with different backgrounds (measured by a variety of metrics) gain entry to the pipelines that are recognized as the most common ways to gain power, wealth and prestige in a society.

You don't require that they all actually gain power, wealth and prestige (since that measures something else, which could be equally important or not, depending on your perspective).

If the only way to become a SCOTUS justice is to get into one of 2 or 3 law schools, and only people with a narrowly defined profile ever get into such schools, you pretty clearly do not have equality of opportunity. You can establish this even though in reality almost nobody ever becomes a SCOTUS justice.

Are you actually claiming that everyone in a US prison is a slave?
I would disagree, there is a huge and closely knit support community for black-owned businesses that has existed for some time, a community that provides everything from money to experience.

There is absolutely nothing like this for, say, Asian owned businesses or even White owned businesses. You're totally on your own.
I guess I meant more as a shield for whatever you want to say. The way some bits of the overall policy read was similar to the god hates fags justification, like you get a pass because your religion discriminates against gay people and by telling you to stfu we're infringing on your rights. It's definitely lawful, but that's different than a moderation choice, but I could also have interpreted it incorrectly.

More broadly (and I'm not certain this is relevant in the case of the Meta policy, but might be) if you're going to have a policy with exceptions based on context, I don't think that context should enable carveouts for outwardly directed hateful or malicious content based on the fact a person does or does not have a protected characteristic; the context should provide margin for different interpretations of whether or not the sentiment falls into the hate category, but if it does then you're subject to the same penalty as anyone else.

As in, context should enable the interpretation of rhetoric that may contain slurs or demeaning/dehumanizing language, such that if it's directed at someone in a bigoted/prejudiced/racist manner, that person doesn't get a pass just because of their religion, ethnic background, sexuality etc..
I like the idea of having all known proofs someday formalized in something like Lean so that you could verify all of mathematics with one click. Each new proof would have to be consistent with all other proofs.

The bank switched memory architectures were basically unused in mid 80s micros (C128, CoCo3, etc.).

Lots of utility software like spell checkers and the like still existed. These would be trivial to implement in Lisp but are really annoying in assembler.

Lisp would have been really good relative to BASIC interpreters at the time--especially since you could have tokenized the atoms. It also would have freed people from line numbers. Linked lists work well on these kinds of machines. 64K is solid for a Lisp if you own the whole machine. You can run over a bank of 16K of memory for GC in about 50 milliseconds or so on those architectures.

Had one of the Lisperati evangelized Lisp on micros, the world would look very different. Alas, they were off charging a gazillion bucks to government contracts.

However, to be fair, only Hejlsberg had the correct insights from putting Pascal on the Nascom.
Ya, it's personal thing, it makes me a bit uncomfortable how widely used they are. If you want to take it and have a good time, great, w/e that's your risk
I’m also unable to do this for whatever reason but using a stereoscope works.
It sounds like a cop-out answer but we also did not specify # of years of experience. We consider all experience levels, so range would be meaningless (like those companies that post 100k - 900k).

The US isn’t just home to the largest companies. You only hear about the multinational corporations when you’re in other countries, but all those companies operate in the US initially because the US is very friendly to small businesses relative to the rest of the world. I would be willing to place a substantial wager on the US having more operating businesses per capita than any large country in the EU.

Business in the US is underappreciated in so many ways.
What's funny is that I would bet money that immigrants to Canada have a higher employment rate than Canadian citizens as a whole.

> If Europe can forget about Germany messing with everyone some 80 years ago,

Europe has not forgotten about that, other than in terms of formal politics.

Hell, England has not even forgotten about the Norman conquest of 1066.

It does help somewhat that Germany has made really serious efforts to repudiate its own behavior, the culture that enabled it, and efforts to revive it. Much harder to say that about the equivalents for US slavery.
Incarceration and detention are totally different things. Incarceration is generally for things that have already happened. Detention is for things that might happen in the future. A convicted criminal is incarcerated. A dangerous patient is detained to prevent them hurting themselves or others going forwards.
As a person who has been black elsewhere and black in America, the biggest advantage of being foreign born black person is having grown up in an environment where black excellence is not exceptional, it just expected.

In the US, inferiority of blackness is so deeply ingrained and entrenched. it's like air, we (blacks, white and everything in between) have all breathed in and fully internalized that we don't even realize its there.
It is whatever operation behaves in a manner that makes the statement true.
But we'll call that "diversity" because they're not white.

It's like the southern Bay Area in general, the least black place I have ever lived. People call it diverse, but it's really just 4 ethnic groups that rarely intermingle. It's not diverse like LA or NYC are diverse.

Linking to incidents in cities in the US, and the 51st and 52nd state, aren't representative of cities across the world.

Maybe """ "Nothing ever happens" says person nothing happened to.""" is honestly telling the truth that they don't concieve of anything happening to them because they live outside of this insane bubble we're in that it's just accepted for cities to just have a violent homeless population that "we can't do anything about". Maybe we're the idiots in this situation.
But being white is really random: how is it my problem that the weather is shit in Normandy and all my ancestors are pale ? I arrive in the US, people would tell me I'm privileged somehow, when all I do is work hard and do my best to contribute to companies. And the same goes to more sunny weather-born people.

If we talked less about skin color, and a bit more about the actual nature of people (I can accept positive discrimination towards former slave families, they deserve compensation), maybe we'd accept those DEI policies more ?

It's a complex debate everywhere anyway, we have the same in France with our own colonial crosses to bear, and like what to do with a Tunisian freshly arrived vs a descendent of a Tunisian family who's been French for 3 generations.
In Texas, effective January 2024 DEI activities by state universities were prohibited. Universities are still trying to understand the implications fully [1]. I am generally in support of DEI on the university campuses but there were a few unwanted outcomes of blind DEI pursuit. The first major bad outcome is it adds administrative bloat. Our universities are already admin heavy. DEI departments just inflated that bloat sucking up more resources that could be used for instruction. The other poor outcome was that they added a lot more paperwork in every hiring decision. I know of a university in northeast that had to wait two months to get their job ad approved by the DEI folks. Finally, DEI departments also added mandatory annual DEI training for everyone on the campus. A lot of these training modules were downright patronizing in most cases.

Ask HN: How do you personally evaluate LLMs?
I’ve seen the standard evals and benchmarks for new LLMs, but they don’t really capture how I actually use them. My own test is pretty specific: whenever a new LLM drops, I ask it to “Write an advanced three.js music visualizer.” Then I compare it to older models by checking:

1. Does it use a recent version of three.js?

2. Does the generated code run out of the box?

3. How complex/innovative is the visualizer?

I’m really curious to hear about other people’s “real-world” benchmarks. What’s your personal test prompt or scenario that reveals whether a new LLM is actually useful for you? How do you decide if it’s truly better than the last version?
