For some jobs, your aptitude should matter. If a test has some discriminating power between people with aptitude and those without aptitude, then perhaps failing that test should really matter. For ATC staff perhaps OCD-adjacent traits are good and ADD-adjacent traits are bad. Maybe you don't want someone with epilepsy in ATC even though that's unfair.

Clang-tidy can rewrite some old code to better. However there is a lot of working code from the 1990s that cannot be automatically rewritten to a new style. Which is what makes adding tooling hard - somehow you need to figure out what code should follow the new style and what is the old style and updating to modern would be too expensive.
> An evidence of this is as soon as the "floodgates" opened, all these companies started dropping DEI initiatives and closing departments like that. If their bottom lines clearly showed they had improved their financials due to it, they would adamantly defend it or double down.

Just looking at the Meta article: The article cites "pressure from conservative critics and customers" as the reason, not financial performance. The Meta representative was quoted pointing to "legal and policy landscape" changes. Nothing about if or how the initiative affected the company's bottom line.
It's probably worth considering how the thing actually works.

LLMs are sort of like a fancy compression dictionary that can be used to compress text, except that we kind of use them in reverse. Instead of compressing likely text into smaller bitstrings, they generate likely text. But you could also use them for compression of text because if you take some text, there is highly likely a much shorter prompt + seed that would generate the same text, provided that it's ordinary text with a common probability distribution.

Which is basically what the lawyers are doing. Keep trying combinations until it generates the text you want.

But the ability to do that isn't really that surprising. If you feed a copyrighted article to gzip, it will give you a much shorter string that you can then feed back to gunzip to get back the article. That doesn't mean gunzip has some flaw or ill intent. It also doesn't imply that the article is even stored inside of the compression library, rather than there just being a shorter string that can be used to represent it because it contains predictable patterns.

It's not implausible that an LLM could generate a verbatim article it was never even trained on if you pushed on it hard enough, especially if it was trained on writing in a similar style and other coverage of the same event.
It is tragic that the only robust solution for cross platform apps eats up so much memory and storage but we're getting to the point where it's not that big a deal.
The simplest way to control your inner life is to not let whatever miserable output in. In other words turn it off.

It’s really entitled (by whom? who knows) to say that people have control over their inner lives as a response to the News being misery-inducing (according to them). Yeah. So turn it off. You don’t own the outside world your attention.
It looks empty? Last commits are from two months ago.
Zig is not memory safe, there is no way around it. It's really only as safe as C, with some helpers for making it easier to write safe code. You should really not use Zig unless you are prepared to deal with memory safety on your own. That makes it a good low-level language for system programming, but a VERY bad general purpose language. I'm writing this as a fan of Zig.
>> the lack of obvious signal in we actually recorded

> This is something I’m curious about - I’m led to understand that modern digital signaling is almost impossible to tell from noise, unless you know what you’re looking for (encryption and compression both conspire against obvious structure), is that not the case? Would it be obvious from a signal construction level that we were looking at, well, signal, and not noise?

Wouldn't that just be a barrier to decoding the message but not detecting that it was a signal? I'm not an electrical engineer, but wouldn't any digital signal rise up from the noise floor with some detectable artificial structure (like regularly timed but varied pulses; e.g. 1001 1011 1110 0001, each pair of 1s is separated by an integer multiple of the pulse time).
This = hallucinating reality.

Now: in what way will you avoid addressing the point (if you do reply)....will it be in the heart of the distribution as usual, or can you generate an anomaly....
This is what we do today. Have you tried it against Gemini 2.0?
There are a few horror and sci fi movies with similar themes to Society that all came out around the same time. Society is probably the wildest. Worth a watch.
I think the analogy works. It's all about the tradeoffs.

Double-entry is harder to grasp, but it has certain properties, like being able to sum along rows or columns. With that property, you can then make assertions like "if anything is off by a cent, then there has been a mistake and it needs to be looked at again."

On the other hand, single-entry is much simpler, you can just record a figure for a date with a reason, and be done with it. It widens the pool of employable candidates, it's easier to onboard new employees, and you don't have any elites screaming at you for doing accounting the wrong way.

If you take a hybrid approach and mix the two, then on average you only have to fill in 1.5 entries per transaction, so it's easier and faster than double-entry, but you can still express some transactions with two entries if it's more elegant, on a case-by-base basis.
You can still have a framework-specific render tree that maps to the DOM that tracks changes with signals instead of diffing. We’re just saying that there’s no requirement for diffing algorithms anymore to performantly and correctly reconcile state to the DOM. Keyed children was the last place it was needed.
Yeah I was going to comment the same thing. A very big reason why we are even having this conversation about a browser engine powering native apps is because electron exists. Yes it's sub-optimal but that hasn't impeded its conquest in the slightest.
Are you behind a CG-NAT? Not all companies have caught up to the fact that one IP is used by multiple customers now.

Things like throttling by IP Address which used to be a viable option is not effective anymore.
The 50 years is wildly off. Even taking the average male/female lifespan most people don't enjoy more than 20 years of retirement. And sadly in my family I think the average is much closer to 10 years.

If you mean the lucky few of us who can "retire" at 30-40 and enjoy 50 years of retirement - that's such a statistical anomaly that it might as well not exist.

>>Food, travel, other things and especially projects can eat the rest $11k/mo

And also yeah, that is wildly wildly off. Again, if you want to have such an absolutely extravagant lifestyle to spend $11k a month on food and travel then sure - you probably do need $10M. But it's nonsense to say "you need $10M to retire in a big city". Clearly millions of people don't.

That article is not “absolute proof” of anything, it’s just a discussion if blind auditions are the be-all end-all. Your comment is very low quality and unnecessarily hostile. Referring to Black people discussing how to get more minorities interested in orchestras as “DEI goons” is one step removed from a slur.

Bad faith magic wand waving, these arguments do not have substance. People/bots are on a bandwagon against change many have been calling for years for. Our treasury system NEEDS an overhaul and there are much bigger problems with this admin to make an issue out of.
>Arguing about the meaning of what Damore wrote, and what he thought/intended, is a huge waste of time. Just about everybody who read it comes to a different interpretation of what he meant to imply.

I've noticed that R1 says "Wait," a lot in its reasoning. I wonder if there's something inherently special in that token.
> The least harmful way to improve hiring outcomes for qualified individuals from historically marginalized groups is to increase their representation in your hiring pool. That's fundamentally it.

Except that that won't actually improve hiring outcomes, if by "improve hiring outcomes" you mean "hire more individuals from historically marginalized groups".

You're saying that hiring is a pipeline problem. And that's true. But every prior stage of the process, including the stage where children are too young to enroll in kindergarten, exhibits exactly the same pipeline problem. There is no point at which there are enough "qualified individuals from historically marginalized groups" to meet demand. If you want "improved" hiring outcomes, the only thing you can do is accept that better hiring means worse on-the-job performance.
You act as if any of these people are logical. My best guess is that they want all of the power in the states and to privatize whatever is necessary for their cronies to profit from much like Putin did in Russia.

Some of the Republicans just want to maintain power after Trump is gone.

Trump is stupid and easily led and operates out of grift and animus. Musk is definitely going to get something out of this. Most likely federal contracts.

Also a lot of Trump voters see him as their best defense to maintain their “way of life” and see the trends where the US is becoming a majority/minority, secular country. It was bad enough that this country let an “uppity Black” run the country for 8 years.
In this use-case, accuracy is non-negotiable with zero room for any hallucination.

Overall it changes nothing.
One big problem with that is there'd be constant tension about what political thingies were important enough to be on the "main" site; we'd just instantly recapitulate all the problems we have now, while also supporting a site full of inevitably awful threads as a sort of attractive nuisance.
So the OPM grants them a sabbatical or extended vacation or a hundred other things they have the discretion to do.

Pretending or hoping everything unorthodox or unprecedented is somehow illegal is already becoming tiresome to read about in comment sections and it hasn’t even been a month of this administration.
In addition to what the others have stated regarding the 2025 budget being locked... Congress also authorized a lot of the things being ransacked right now like USAID. The rule of law seems to offer very little real protections here. So much of the US government is run on precedent and tradition and is incredibly vulnerable (as we're finding out) to folks who give zero fucks about precedent and tradition. Unfortunately the Democratic Party is still completely beholden to those precedents and traditions and have absolutely no clue how to handle opponents who don't.
Actually I'd argue that left-wing language engineering contributed to right-wing lunatics getting in control. This poll says 56% of Hispanics in the US are uncomfortable with 'LatinX'

These are a swingy group that could go either way. This podcast

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/will-tariffs-end-trump...

describes polls that make it clear that Americans think that Republicans care about the issues that matter to them and that Democrats don't. "Woke" talk contributes a lot to the latter.

The good news for them though is that now that they see Republicans in power talking crazy like this, Democrats will look more normal to people. But if people on the left muzzled their own fanatics years ago we'd have woken up in a different America.

I got all correct but had to stop and think for the green ones.
> Browser rendering engines are so powerful and versatile and universal I don't see how they can lose.

Well browsers are pretty damn heavy for an app that won't use 99% of its functionality. Maybe some of this can be amortized with clever distro work so apps don't have to ship the whole runtime but that hasn't happened yet.

(In fact, it's a little odd to me electron is based on chrome rather than the WebKit that actually ships with macos.... you should be able to ship that sort of app with a few megabytes)

I'd also rather eat glass than be stuck with javascript, easily the most frustrating ecosystem I've ever worked with by a very wide margin. Just the language is ok, but the build pipelines/bundling/transpilation/polyfillls is absolutely miserable to work with and lack of a decent standard library really hurts. It's crazy how we've basically lifted up the concepts of compilation and linking c objects to the world of javascript, just to ship code in a language the browser already fully supports.

Maybe WASM will help but my understanding its use of the DOM is quite awkward and still requires javascript usage.
Great question! Here are real-world problems SenseTask solves with its key features:

- Key Data Extraction – Automatically extract key data (e.g., amounts from invoices, contract terms) and eliminate manual data entry.

- Workflow Automation – Route documents based on extracted data (e.g., send invoices over $10K to finance, under $10K to procurement) and configure multi-level approval flows.

- Document Classification & Splitting – If you have a large file containing multiple document types (e.g., invoices, contracts, receipts), SenseTask automatically classifies and splits them for processing.

- Document Management by Type – Organize files into folders where each folder is configured for data extraction, workflows, and compliance—so invoices follow a different process than contracts, HR documents, etc.

Would love to hear what challenges you’re facing—happy to discuss how SenseTask can help!
I like this! Very creative tool to learn chess mating patterns
It's fun! I'd love to see a "final score" - both number correct/total number, as well as the time elapsed.
I don’t have too much issue with Reddits politics at the moment, but I do think it’s odd that such a powerful platform in society is managed by volunteer (mostly) anonymous moderators.

I will be explicit in that I am not condoning doxxing Reddit mods. I just don’t think we’d be fine with this in normal day to day life.
Have you considered the interpretation process within reading?
The definition of overfitting is handwavy. It’s a failure to generalize outside of the observed data. The current batch of LLMs is trained on essentially all of the internet; what would something outside of the observed data even look like? What does it mean there?

On the contrary, if a printing press controller “overfits” to the printing press it’s installed on, that is actually pretty desirable!

So what are you actually trying to prevent when you want to prevent “overfitting”, and why?
I meant they had the infrastructure already when the streaming wars started roughly around Covid.
(And how good is the color reproduction of your monitor)

If you look at this on a TN screen it's going to be a lot different than something like a nice OLED. (Not that OLED doesn't have issues, but colors are great on them)

It spreads so fast and is lethal enough that they probably don’t need to test, because they’d know quite quickly.
That's just terrific!
It’s funny because the terms diverged as a matter of empirical necessity of describing certain types of people who clearly didn’t fit into binary categories.

Biology is hard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If what you say is true, and distilling LLMs is easy and cheap, and pushing the SOTA without a better model to rely on is dang hard and expensive, then that means the economics of LLM development might not be attractive to investors - spending billions to have your competitors come out with products that are 99% as good, and cost them pennies to train, does not sound like a good business strategy.
The thing that makes it a bad idea is ambiguity. But most types of ambiguity in this situation only apply to the list of supported languages. If the languages aren't supported, the problem doesn't exist. So yes it's relevant.

And there's only a couple countries in the world where this is a serious issue anyway. It doesn't make flags a terrible idea for the rest.

This seems completely pointless as the entire reason of news is to be informed of what's going on, and you can't do that in "tweet-sized news stories". For starters, simple "fact"-based news like "X happened" is really not bias-free, as there is a lot of context on why "X happened", or things leading up to it, or stuff like that.

Never mind of course there is an inherent bias in choosing what to publish and what not to publish.

So it's not forcing journalists to "only include the information that actually matters", it's forcing journalists to exclude tons of information that really does matter. In fact, it's worse than pointless: it's actively harmful to mislead people with these "unbiased facts", because they're not.
(1) Apparently
(2) Why don't you ask the NYT or the departments in question (eg through a FOI request)?
(3) The NYT sells things, also to the government, so what? Why should they disclose this?
(4) No, not by default. Depends on the circumstances.

You make insinuations without a shred of relevant evidence. Your tinfoil hat is on too tight.
The key is that it doesn't actually hijack the scroll wheel - the main content (header and text and photos on the left) all scrolls normally, controlled by the browser. The map just monitors the scroll position and element client rects and runs its own non-blocking visualization on the side.

I agree - beautifully implemented, and great content too.

Same, the a couple of the green ones were quite subtle. Not sure if that's due to the developer, human vision, or the how color rendering works.

> Copyright only protects the actual text.

Copyright protects against both derived works and copies in any form, including lossy or inaccurate copies that do not reach the originality level to be derived works, not just “exact copies”.

But that doesn't really matter, here, because OpenAI isn't being sued for producing and distributing an LLM (against a mere LLM distributor, NYT would have a much weaker case), they are being sued for providing a service which takes in copyrighted works and spits out copies, both exact and not, that are well within the established coverage of what is a copyright violation that does not fall within exceptions like fair use. and when they control the whole path in between original and copy, then the path in between is largely immaterial.

Its not an “is training AI on copyright protected works fair use” case, its an “is producing copies well within the established parameters of commercial copright violation rendered fair use by sticking an LLM in the middle of the process as part of the mechanism of copying” case.
Claude automatically uploads it as "Pasted text" if it is too long that you paste into the textarea. Works either way anyways.
Unfortunately we've spent the better part of a century brainwashing a majority of our population to believe that this is "communism" and thus inherently evil in all regards, no matter what.

I'm honestly not sure if things can get bad enough for a general American revolt. I think we've pushed that threshold so far back that the people won't do anything until the country is well past the tipping point of total collapse.

I'm happy to be wrong, but living in America, you develop a very low opinion of Americans.

The fact that you think this is what's happening right now is fucking hilarious. It's also hilarious that you don't seem to know just how much public information IS available from these institutions.

Some random, ketamine addicted, un-elected oligarch with a cadre of teenage lackeys being let loose with unlimited authority over giant institutions in a process with zero accountability or transparency is your fucking idea of an audit?
