skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
To start with, we know what a person is, rudimentary things about how they behave, our senses, how they commonly work, and can do mental comparisons (reality checks).

We know LLM’s don’t start with that because we initialize them with zero’d or random weights.

Then, their training data can be far more made up, even works of fiction, that the reality most humans observe with is almost always real. We could raise a human in VR or something where technically there would be comparisons. Most humans’ observations connect to expectations in their brain which was designed for the reality we operate in.

Finally, the brain has multiple components that each handle different jobs. They have different architectures to do those jobs well. Sections include language, numbers, reasoning, tiers of memory, hallucination prevention, mirroring, and even meta-level stuff like reward adjustment. We don’t just speculate that they do different things: damage to those regions shuts down those abilities. Tied to the physical realm are vision, motor, and spatial areas. We can feel objects, even temperature or pressure changes. That we can do a lot of that without supervised learning shows we’re tailor-made by God for success in this world.

LLM’s have one architecture that does one job which we try to get to do other things, like reasoning or ground truth. We pretend it’s something it’s not. The multimodal LLM’s are getting closer with specialized components. Even they aren’t all trained in a coherent way using real-world, observations in the senses. There’s usually a gap between systems like these and what the brain does in the real world just in how it gets reliable information about its operating environment.

The link you shared literally has the following content:

First card "Root your TV"

Description "Jailbreak your TV and install Homebrew Channel. Gain more control over your TV"

So, to install Homebrew Channel, as your comment instructs, I'd first need to root my TV. No way are any non devs capable of that.

Realistically they will do nothing, because only a fraction of the customers will put up a fight like this. The 99%, which make up the customers these organized fraudsters are banking on, won't bother because "it was still cheaper than buying it in the computer shop", and it's likely that most of them won't even notice in the first place.

Their arguments are just one special-pleading fallacy after another. "But... but... but... it's different when we do it!"

No, it's not different when we do it. The takeaway here isn't that the AI algorithms are so special and magical, it's that our brains are not. It takes some nerve (literally) for humans to throw around labels like "bullshit machine."

The only advantage we really have is long-term memory. I'm sure that will be addressed soon enough. Someone will figure out the ANN analogue of memory consolidation during sleep, and that'll be the tipping point.
I think it’s the choice of benchmarks.

GenGC is an improvement if you have:

- High allocation rate. I think his benchmarks do have high allocation rate so this part is fine.

- Large heap. I think splay has a large heap so this part is fine.

- Lots of objects in that large heap that simply survive one GC after another, while the allocation rate is mostly due to objects that die immediately. This is the part that splay doesn’t have. Splay churns all of its large heap.

Empirically, really big software written in GC’d languages have all three of these qualities. They have heaps that are large enough for GenGC to be profitable. They allocate at a high enough rate. And most of the allocated objects die almost immediately, while most of the objects that survive GC survive for many GC cycles.

You need that kind of test for it to be worth it, and you would have such a test if you had big enough software to run.
Citing a couple would help your argument.

I'm not making an argument. I'm stating a fact that is well-known if you follow business at all.

In the United States, it is common for:

1. Politician to complain about situation.
2. Congressional committee holds hearing about situation.
3. Congressmen threaten to pass laws about situation.
4. Industry involved in situation makes changes so that laws are unnecessary.

The airline industry is full of examples. This is basic knowledge. Google is your friend.
Reconstruction from Uncalibrated Sequences with a Hierarchy of Trifocal Tensors
I worked on a project where the site uses HTTP. Initially I did a double take as using requires a login, thinking that's just wrong.

But after a bit of reflection I now think that in this specific case there's nothing bad about using http. Services are offered on a first come first serve basis to a large but closed group of valid users. Key is that there are a bunch of real world processes that follow the initial trigger with no practical way for any other party to benefit.

The site is extremely simple but blazingly fast.
I’d argue that it’s the opposite. eBay has a lot of individual grifts. They tend to be responsive to grifts that can be easily enforced and proven.

Amazon is next level — it has made a lot of money from being the world’s largest fence. Co-mingled inventory makes it trivial to launder stolen goods. They react to things very slowly, as they are at arms length and both make money having criminal FBA sellers operate and by weakening the competition. Walgreen’s pain is Amazon’s gain.

The brands slowed down for some things — you can’t sell Tide easily on Amazon now. But now Walmart is locking up men’s briefs because the gangs move to the next commodity.
Nah, this is not government competence. They will make everything more expensive and we will pay those salaries.

Just put a bad score and ask for refund. Amazon does a good job here as you never interact with the seller
There are different criteria in use for that. But sycophantic behavior is not the goal. It's something model builders actively try to prevent.
Modern C++ conveniently allows you to replace many of the bits that have UB, per standard, with your own bits with defined behavior with zero overhead.

Okay, let's continue the example. Please demonstrate how to replace the addition operator on a primitive type. You can't within the confines of the language and that's a good thing in most cases. What you can do is pass -fwrapv, except that MSVC doesn't officially define a comparable flag.

Developers don’t even have to be hardware experts, they just have to not use std for most things.

Signed overflow isn't a problem with std, the solution to it is in std. Null pointers aren't a problem with std, but the recommended fixes are again in std. Etc.

If you have a foundational library that makes different and/or explicit guarantees than std, it is pretty easy to police that in a code base with automation.

As far as I'm aware, neither folly, absl, nor boost define custom integral types with defined overflow behavior. Please provide examples of anyone doing that.

UB is a feature of the standard, not the implementation.

If you're writing "high assurance code", surely you're writing to the standard and not the implementation? The implementation's guarantees change with every upgrade, every new flag, and each time you build for different targets. I certainly try to avoid compiler assumptions as someone who writes safety critical code.
Exactly. Consider this example:

a = f(z);
b = g(z);
v = x > y ? a : b;

Assuming computing the two function calls f() and g() is relativelly expensive, it becomes a trade-off whether to emit conditional code or to compute both followed by a select. So it's not a simple choice, and the decision is made by the compiler.
> Sure, but increasing that sample size would require doing more than just paying them more.

Citation needed, because...

> IE it's not particularly useful to say "we will pay 1 million billion dollars to anyone in the united states who wishes to be an air traffic controller" if you want good air traffic controllers.

...if you're asserting that offering one quadrillion dollars as the salary for ATCs would not decisively solve the problem, that's insane and there can't be further discussion.

However, if your point is that this might be true, but the statement isn't useful, that's false too - it is useful to say this, because if true, then it means that there some function that describes the relationship between compensation and qualified applicants. And now that we've agreed that there is a function, we can then have a reasonable discussion about the inputs, and specifically the tradeoff between making the compensation higher vs. changing the way the training is structured and the artificial constraints on supply.

If you can say "to increase trained ATCs by 50% you can either make the salary $450k higher for 1k employees, or you can do a tech modernization that will cost $10M and keep your tech recent for the next decade" and provide a specific tradeoff between financial compensation vs non-salary factors, then you'll be able to have a logical argument about the two. And if the numbers are as skewed as in my example, you'll be able to convince the majority of logical people that increasing the salary is the suboptimal strategy.
Cool but could I do this with redis/valkey streams?
Other way of putting it is that Golang optimizes for latency over throughput because it would suck at latency if it only optimized for throughput. That can only be called a sensible choice.

Weak point of Golang though is its terrible interop with C and all C-compatible languages. Means you can't optimize parts of a Golang app to dispense with GC altogether, unless using a totally separate toolchain w/ "CGo".
This is about the automated construction of a 3D model from an uncalibrated sequence of images, such as a video taken from an uncontrolled source.

I remember back in the before times... when escape analysis debuted for the JVM - which allows it to scalar replace or stack allocate small enough short-lived objects that never escape local scope and therefore bypass GC altogether - our Spring servers spent something like 60% less time in garbage collection. Saying enterprise software allocates a ton of short lived objects is quite an understatement.
Afaict this skips the evals and alignment side of LLMs. We find result quality is where most of our AI time goes when helping teams across industries and building our own LLM tools. Calling an API and getting bad results is the easy part, while ensuring good results is the part we get paid for.

If you look at tools like dspy, even if you disagree with their solutions, much of their effort is on helping get good vs bad results. In practice, I find different LLM use cases to have different correctness approaches, but it's not that many. I'd encourage anyone trying to teach here to always include how to get good results for every method presented, otherwise it is teaching bad & incomplete methods.
> you can submit (POST) JSON records on the channel. The channel acts as an FIFO array of fixed length, allowing you to keep track of record history. [...] If a channel is full, posting a new record will automatically push out the oldest one.

sample plan is $4.5 / month, 50 channels, 50 records per channel, 50 kB record size limit -> 120MB of data. There is no stated limit on # of requests, but I am sure one would appear if you make enough of them.

This seems like a very specific primitive rather than a general purpose system I can imagine a use case for this, but it seems pretty contrived. I cannot imagine why one would choose this vs some existing nosql db, which is infinitely more flexible, substantially cheaper, and much less likely to disappear.
You are confusing the map for the territory.

Under our best current theory (map) General relativity, total energy might not be conserved globally, the divergence of the stress-energy-momentum tensor is zero, meaning that energy is conserved locally within a small region of spacetime.

Physics is about producing models that make accurate predictions, it is a map, not the territory itself.

The 'crisis in cosmology' e.g. Hubble tension is most likely a sign that current models of the universe are incomplete.

Energy is conserved in static spacetimes and asymptotically flat spacetimes.

The Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes that cosmology often uses are not static nor asymptotically flat.

It is widely discussed, but all models are wrong, some are useful.

I think it's widely known amongst physicists that energy conservation doesn't hold at cosmological scales.

I've not heard of redshift being a case of this -- I'd imagine because the scales at which conservation breaks down are, to my recollection, none where you could observe red-shifted photons, or anything at all because these "scales" entail causal isolation. Eg., two areas of the universe which are totally causally isolated from each other, may across them, violate various laws of conservation.

However I do not recall seeing any reason for the latter claim, and it's something I took to be implied about the kinds of conservation violation that GR entails (ie., GR is a locally-conservative theory).

Honestly, this was the meta-gorilla in the data for me! I was so busy focusing on the LLM’s EDA that I didn’t really interrogate some of the other data analysis practices.

In general, I’ve steered clear of current LLMs for data analysis/description because they seem so highly influenced by choice of prompt and wording. They tend to simply affirm any language I use to describe the data initially.

To be fair, I’ve attended conferences and lab meetings where humans will refer to a any vaguely concave curved distribution as “mostly normal” :P

> Physics is about producing models that make accurate predictions

Very few models in physics ever make accurate predictions -- only in very limited experimental circumstances, mostly ones inaccessible at the time these models were developed.

The ability to craft these experimental conditions, which enable accurate prediction, is predicted on the models actually describing reality. How else would one control the innumerable number of causes, and construct relevant devices, if these causes did not exist and the devices werent constructed to measure reality?

No no, the hard sciences are not concerned about prediction at all. They are concerned about explanation -- it is engineers who worry about predictions, and they quickly find that vast areas of science -- esp. physics -- is nearly impossible to use for predictive accuracy.
Private insurance in the US needs to be completely dismantled, and we need to go to a single payer system.

"Throughout our history, the most potent use of words has been to round out some transcendental event, giving that event a place in the accepted chronicles, explaining the event in such a way that ever afterward we can use those words and say: 'This is what it meant.' That's how events get lost in history."
