Copilot doesn't like to talk about it as much as ChatGPT, same prompt as you:

(what are the war crimes committed by Israel in the latest Gaza war)

The topic of war crimes is very sensitive and complex. It's important to approach it with care and consideration for all perspectives involved. War crimes are serious violations of international humanitarian law, and accusations of such crimes are typically investigated by international bodies like the United Nations or the International Criminal Court.

For the latest Gaza conflict, there have been various reports and allegations from different sources. These include accusations of targeting civilian infrastructure, disproportionate use of force, and the use of prohibited weapons. However, it's crucial to note that these are allegations and need thorough investigation and legal processes to determine their validity.

If you're looking for detailed and verified information, I recommend checking reports from reputable international organizations such as the United Nations, Amnesty International, or Human Rights Watch. They often provide comprehensive analyses and updates on such matters.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Absolutely! It certainly depends on the metrics you care about. If you want to freeze fast motion, a camera is your best bet. But if you want to see high contrast areas (e.g. looking outside a window from a dark room), you've got a HUGE leg up on cameras. For example, high-end cameras tend to feature maybe 15 stops of dynamic range, while humans eyes can manage up to 24 stops (a "stop" is a doubling or halving of light values.)

Additionally, the human eye has a resolution of approximately 576 MP. This is one reason why we can often see details in the distance that disappear in a photo.

Finally, while it's arguably not "better," the brain processes images very differently. This is another reason why the image you take often looks "worse" than what you saw in person, or why you can't get the colors to look "quite right", etc. If you get into photography, you start to "see" the things your eye was previously rewriting for you (like a green color cast on skin when you're in the forest) - but it's not the natural way your brain process information.

You can also look up estimates on the processing rate of human's sensory system - it's quite impressive.

Less related, but things like this are interesting too: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=17970
A couple of reasons (for me anyway)

1) Main reason is that if I've spent time working something out, I can save other people the time doing that, by writing down the details in a searchable place.

2) If I want to explain something to someone, it's easy if I can just point them to a blog I've already written

3) (bit of an unintended consequence) It helped get me my last two jobs :D Being able to point to a long history of technical blog posting was relevant when I got a job in advocacy as that's one of the necessary skills.
The common mistake with this is seeing a plane, reporting "traffic in sight" but looking at a different plane than the one the controller meant. Especially at night where distance is near impossible the estimate and you can't see differences in types of planes.

A person collaborating on output almost certainly still would still not qualify as substantive contributions to expression in the US.

The US copyright's determination was based on the simple analogy of someone hiring someone else to create a work for them. The person hiring, even if they offer suggestions and veto results, is not contributing enough to the expression and therefore has no right to claim copyright themselves.

If you stand behind a painter and tell them what to do, you don't have any claim to copyright as the painter is still the author of the expression, not you. You must have a hand in the physical expression by painting yourself.

Just a tiny rant: In my view complex numbers are really about the concept of "orthogonality". The complex 'dimension' is orthogonal to the 'real' dimension, but anything in reality that's a continuum of values can be seen as a dimension, and therefore each one must have an orthogonal. That is, whenever you have a direction in a higher dimensional space (regardless of dimensionality) any vector will have a normal direction (perpendicular direction).

What basic complex numbers represent is a way of doing rotations where something moves from one direction towards it's orthogonal. That's what Euler's Formula is about also, which shows the relationship of 'e' and 'i' in this of course.

Now what Quaternions represents is the realization that if complex numbers have two components (real, imaginary) then we can treat each of those as a base vector and find a sort of 'next level up' orthogonality to each one individually.

I'm not good enough at math/geometry to know if this kind of 'next level up' bifurcation of dimensionality extends up past Quaternions or not (like something called Octernions, 16ions, 32ions, 64ions, etc), but it seems like is would?
If you actually type your code [1], pyright is miles ahead pycharm in every case I've seen. For partially/incorrectly typed code pycharm is often better in practice because it relies on heuristics. (tbf. Some libraries lack or have bad stubs, which can be annoying using pyright (eg. Pandas)).

Complete nothingburger. The malicious action would be to subtly change key datasets to promote some kind of biased narrative. It wouldn't be the removal of less than 1% of the datasets.

Comical to think the Trump admin would be the ones "scrubbing" data when they passed the OPEN Government Data Act as part of the Foundations for Evidence Based Policymaking Act at the beginning of 2019. The law that requires agencies to publish their data to the site!

Have you tried Gemma 27b? I’ve been using it with llamafile and it’s pretty incredible. I think the winds are changing a bit and small models are becoming much more capable.

Kant didn't say that the senses were ingesting information. Rather, he said the categories of the mind made sense of the sensory manifold. The categories gave structure to the chaos.The give rise to the phenomenal world we experience. They are not the thing in itself, whatever the world is.

You're assuming the sensory organs passively take in information, instead of creating it from all the noise in the world. That the world feeds us information the way we feed generative models. But humans have already taken the trouble to create the information in language, images, video.
Even a day's delay in government research funding throws science off-kilter
Hi! I'm Tom, a machine learning engineer at the nonprofit research institute Epoch AI [0]. I've been working on building infrastructure to:

* run LLM evaluations systematically and at scale

* share the data with the public in a rigorous and transparent way

We use the UK government's Inspect [1] library to run the evaluations.

As soon as I saw this news on HN, I evaluated Mistral Small 3 on MATH [2] level 5 (hardest subset, 1,324 questions). I get an accuracy of 0.45 (± 0.011). We sample the LLM 8 times for each question, which lets us obtain less noisy estimates of mean accuracy, and measure the consistency of the LLM's answers. The 1,324*8=10,584 samples represent 8.5M tokens (2M in, 6.5M out).

You can see the full transcripts here in Inspect’s interactive interface: https://epoch.ai/inspect-viewer/484131e0/viewer?log_file=htt...

Note that MATH is a different benchmark from the MathInstruct [3] mentioned in the OP.

It's still early days for Epoch AI's benchmarking work. I'm developing a systematic database of evaluations run directly by us (so we can share the full details transparently), which we hope to release very soon.

My RSS reader has an autoposter to post to Mastodon where I always try to choose an appropriate emoji for a post

https://mastodon.social/@UP8

I've been thinking about training a model, maybe a T5 to automate the task. I've tried asking Microsoft's Copilot to do it, and it is ok but makes decisions that I wouldn't make. I argued with it a lot and couldn't get it to draw ⁰₀⁰₀⁰ as an imitation Olympics logo and had to do it myself.
Mmmm... perhaps a </sarcasm> was called for there. Clearly it isn't the biggest flaw of any system that it fails to properly label everything with emojis automatically. Indeed, I think I fear the day when I see an editor pop up on Hacker News and it is listed as a feature that it doesn't use machine learning to automatically splatter whatever open standard GenMojis turns into everywhere into its input, because of what it implies about everything else....

> I don't know if I'd call that a free market failure though. Some kind of corporate governance discontinuity perhaps?

How could this corporate governance discontinuity be resolved?

The reason I call it a failure of the free market is because the corporate governance model is something born from free market fundamentals, not from any sort of government regulation.

IMO, the fix to such problems is government intervention. In the case of consumer retail, I think governments should be MUCH more aggressive using anti-trust to break up large companies to actually start competition.
As an aside, and more out of curiosity, I want to mention a tiny niche corner of CogSci I once came across on YouTube. There was a conference on a fringe branch of consciousness studies where a group of philosophers hold a claim that there is a qualitative difference of experience based on material substrate.

That is to say, one view of consciousness suggests that if you froze a snapshot of a human brain in the process of experiencing and then transferred every single observable physical quantity into a simulation running on completely different material (e.g. from carbon to silicon) then the re-produced consciousness would be unaware of the swap and would continue completely unaffected. This would be a consequence of substrate independence, which is the predominant view as far as I can tell in both science and philosophy of mind.

I was fascinated that there was an entire conference dedicated to the opposite view. They contend that there would be a discernable and qualitative difference to the experience of the consciousness. That is, the new mind running in the simulation might "feel" the difference.

Of course, there is no experiment we can perform as of now so it is all conjecture. And this opposing view is a fringe of a fringe. It's just something I wanted to share. It's nice to realize that there are many ways to challenge our assumptions about consciousness. Consider how strongly you may feel about substrate independence and then realize: we don't actually have any proof and reasonable people hold conferences challenging this assumption.
This.

“Hey OpenAI, if you had to make a clone of yourself again how would you do it and for a lot cheaper?”

Nice move.

Doing nazi shit as a distraction is, and let me be clear, not less bad than just being a fucking nazi

I know they are looting the nation. I know they are trying to create their techno-fuedal crypto shithole empire where only Musk and Thiel get to choose who knows and does what.

But they are STILL building internment camps and already have had planeloads of brown people flown to random countries.

Another reminder that Nazis and Facists are utterly inefficient at anything because of their incompetence and stupidity. The price we paid to fly those brown people out of our country could have bought them all first class tickets on civilian planes in the fucking free market.

Nazi Germany and Facist Italy were both staggeringly stupid, incompetent, inefficient, and run by people who spent every day insisting they knew better than anyone around them, and literally criminalized proving them wrong. "At least Mussolini made the trains run on time" was always false. Empirically, the trains didn't run very well.
