Does frequentist/bayesian matters to anything but quasi-religious beliefs?

I mean, that's maths, either approach has to give the same results, as they come from the same theory. The Bayes theorem is just a theorem, use it explicitly or not, the numbers will be the same because the axioms are the same.

It takes a bit of work, but you can learn to isolate specific overtones by ear.
My feelings about Pascal are pretty mixed.

Pedagogically oriented computer science profs circa 1980 were aghast that BASIC had become the standard for teaching young people to program. It was difficult to fit Pascal into a microcomputer then, so we were stuck with the atrocious UCSD Pascal [1] which used a virtual machine to make up for the weak instruction sets of many micros, particularly the 6502. Since the compiler ran inside the VM, compiling a small Pascal program was like compiling a large C++ program today.

Not long after that I got to use Pascal on a VAX which was not so bad, but pretty obviously not up to doing systems programming, particularly compared to C, which was starting to show up on micros such as Z-80s running CP/M and the TRS-80 Color Computer running OS-9.

Then I got a 80286 computer and I really liked Turbo Pascal because it added the (non-standard) facilities you need to do systems work, but went back to C when I went to school because it was portable to the 68k and SPARC based Sun machines we had.

You can still use vanilla-OO React.

Do you complain when other frameworks add new features without breaking backwards compatibility?
Well, it really requires:

A) great commit messages,
B) comments that are worse than the commit message so that you have to go scavenge in revision control,
C) a single or very few commits where the craziness happened,
and D) a codebase that hasn't drifted enough that this signal is hard to find.

I've had poor luck spelunking for reasons in things like the Linux kernel. 90% of my revision control effort looks at things from the past couple of years, and before then it rapidly becomes diminishing returns.
When this discussion comes up I always like to remember that the founding fathers also fled England to escape political turmoil.

A bit like the guy that “always seems to run into dysfunctional teams”, that should give food for thought.
While words change and it rapidly escalated over the last 10 years, it's been about police brutality/misconduct for at least 50 years now.

Using phrases whose meaning you're unaware of is generally risky behavior. Trying to claim it meant something other than what the common lexicon says it means is just asinine.
If the model is open source, I'm hoping for an option to be able to run this feature locally for free. They seem to have support for running other models locally (e.g. deepseek-r1 through Ollama), so I'm hoping they will keep that up with edit prediction.
I’m all for boring technologies but can we please at least use compiled languages with types
Yes… I’m aware of the history. I’m also aware that WASM solves problems that those previous ones didn’t. Otherwise you would have provided an option that actually met the requirements, if there are so many to choose from.

> If you want a plugin-in system, maybe don't pick a language with static linking

Or… a plugin system could “just work”, without placing unnecessary restrictions on what I do.
But since the patch didn’t include any code in kernel/dma, it comes across as “I didn’t even read the patch.”
Unfortunately, that's not how LLMs work.
Well, I notice there is a lot of pressure in organizations for individual developers to start making use of these tools. I was already using AI extensively before my company picked up on it, so it doesn't really affect me negatively, but I notice some of my coworkers starting to ask questions like "Do I have to use it?". The status quo seems to imply that you {refuse to accept change,aren't willing to grow,aren't interested in increasing efficiency in workflow} if you don't use AI tools / autocomplete.

So while it is unlikely anyone is _forcing_ you to use AI-enabled efficiency boosters, there may be a strong managerial pressure felt to do so, and it may even be offered as an action item in yearly reviews, and therefore strongly linked to compensation / incentives.

That is all to say, I understand if people in this group are frustrated with the AI hype train at the moment, even if they can appreciate that these tools do indeed improve efficiency in some places and in some people.
Reasonable! However, Google is made up of people who are actively choosing to comply with nonsense. Perhaps it is in fact better to hold people to a standard of behavior than to pretend those people are somehow exempt from sanity or morality simply because they work for a company. Today the nonsense is silly, perhaps tomorrow it is less silly.

I do not object to renaming the Gulf of America because I do not live in it, but there are a lot of silly things the administration could decide Google needs to do that could be very bad for me and others.

Also, I think most usually the lake names come from the color they have when see from the ground, rather than from above.

For example, a lake might be blue when viewed from space, but the locals can still call it a "Black Lake" because it's surrounded by mountains made of dark rocks, and when you stand at its shore you can typically see them reflected in its surface, giving an overall impression of a black color.
Exactly. It's a choice to de-prioritize ethics by mechanical application of policies rather than choosing the greater good with critical thinking skills and integrity. It becomes foot-gunning in the long term since history won't be kind to the [insert future pejorative label] sympathizers. More broadly, I hope SV cleans up its act and rejects the MAANG megacorp surrender to the current ideological faction because it didn't align to the other side the same way previously when the winds went the other way. (I don't have a horse in this fight but I can see what is happening now is objectively bad. I think we can choose to step back from the red vs. blue team sports nonsense and have objective discussions of what's likely to lead to more failure or more success for a given polity.)

> Erm, it matters because the police were required to change their approach in light of that court judgment, as explained in the article that I linked.

It's a UK wide problem seemingly and has happened numerous times since the DM article incident, so clearly not. Maybe one little police dept did, but it's a systemic problem or seems to be.

> It’s because of this court decision that your Google search turned up a Daily Mail article from 2019 and not something more recent!

I pasted the first result I found. I'm not interested in finding every. single. incident so you can dispute it one by one to keep trying to defend the UK. You either acknowledge there is an issue or you don't, for me, the numerous incidents of this happening are a problem, not just isolated incidents being blown out of proportion. You clearly disagree.

> You’ll have to remind me of the Chapter of 1984 in which the actions of the Thought Police are reined in by a system of legal checks and balances…

Heh. There were building blocks before Big Brother was introduced, and it was no accident the story was set in the UK either.

> But it’s not a sinister Orwellian police state.

I never said it was. My claim was that it's closer to being so than any other first world country. Downplaying cops acting as literal thought police (in that they are literally policing thoughts) is a problem and despite your assertion that your willing to be critical of the UK (which I don't doubt but don't tae as absolute), reads to me like being patriotic to the point of denying the issues being discussed.

Since the homepage is a prompt to interact with the bot, I directed my questions about possible plans to it.

It said: "Up to 10 uses of best model per day"

When asked what one use means, it kept checking the docs and told me: "Each interaction with Phind's models counts as a usage".

When asked to clarify, it ultimately said: "I cannot confirm exactly whether this would count as your third usage today, as I don't have direct access to your usage statistics. To check your current daily usage count, you can visit your settings page at https://phind.com/settings. This will show you your exact usage count for the day and remaining available uses based on your subscription tier."

Since I'm not a user and am inquiring about details before subscribing, I had hoped the bot had some more information on that.

> And COVID was nothing like losing a world war.

I compared Covid with the 1918 Spanish Flu, and that comparison is fair to make - if not by the death count, at the very least by the economic consequences. In fact the economic consequences of Covid are worse than those of the 1918 flu because the world is far more interconnected now than it was back then.

> What would things be like in America now if we actually had faced a genuine crisis like Germany's post-WWI downfall? My guess is, we're about to find out... because that's what we just voted for.

The thing with inflation is, of course the pre-WW2 inflation was ridiculously higher in numbers. But the consequences in the life of the wide masses - struggling to survive every day or at least every payday - are pretty similar. And that's why people don't necessarily vote "for the 47th", they vote "against who is in power currently" - a pattern we see across the Western world, with some countries falling to the far-right, while in others like Poland or the UK the far-right actually loses.

The key thing that makes the US and to a degree the UK unique is that both countries only have a two-party system. The UK got lucky, they got the authoritarians in power while the crisis was ongoing so they elected a democratic alternative, the US got the shorter end of the stick and now has to suffer through the 47th's period instead of having an actually social-democrat, Green or even a moderate Conservative third option.
Yeah, it's a deal-breaker if I can't run the model locally and/or have to sign up for their account.
Musk is an Idiot at best and Russian asset at worst. But if I see highly upvoted comment complaining or conspiracy theorizing about flagging, after Dang has been tirelessly and countless times explaining how things work, I flag the thread out of principle.

I write Elm and use Emacs primarily, and sometimes neovim. Are you using lsp in vim? You’re doing it right by staying in one file until it hurts, that’s the recommendation for Elm, but I can’t recall if I’ve had issues using go-to-def or other lsp functions like your describing
I already said ID is not security. How many 70s hijackers got away unidentified? How many would not have even tried if they also had to show ID? I can think of one case, "D. B. Cooper".

This conversation just doesn't seem promising. Your initial wildly-off claim got me worried I might misunderstand the world by that much (I remember the 70s, fuzzily). I wasted time checking it, wondering if the actual peak might be in a year not mentioned, trying to find the paper Wikipedia cited: it was a non-open-access paper with at least four links to check; one of them did show the first page, which at least gave the figure in question, if not the ultimate source.
My wife would do that to avoid having our baby sit in a freezing cold shopping cart for a long time while she wheeled him into the store. He’s 25 lbs now and he will be getting heavier so it’s not easy to just carry him anymore. She usually parks next to cart corrals to grab a cart right as she gets out of the car.
There is a double standard here. Political posts against conservatives have been accepted here for years with little pushback. Anything against liberal causes is immediately flagged. It's time to accept that political posts are political even if it happens to be favorable to your preferred political agenda.
I have not read it all, there is a lot more than I thought there could be, but I am going to dive back in later.

As an Android user and developer, it's always annoying reading reviews where Samsung gets 9.5 out of ten and they give a terrible review to the competition because they have a slightly better camera. They give you a terrible Touch Wiz UI/whatever crap interface they switched to, change all the fonts, move around menu items and buttons, slightly change all the stock apps to be worse, push their garbage store, etc. Samsung Galaxy 1 was legitimately a good phone, but all the modern reviews just feel like author grew up with all the garbage that Samsung brings and thinks that is actually a good experience
Very interesting article. I'd be interested to know if a M-series Mac Mini (this article was early 2023, so there should've been M1 and M2) would have also filled this role just fine.

> My preliminary speed tests were fairly slow on my MacBook. However, once I deployed the app to an actual iPhone the speed of OCR was extremely promising (possibly due to the Vision framework using the GPU).

I don't know a lot about the specifics of where (hardware-wise) this gets run, but I'd assume any semi-modern Mac would also have an accelerated compute for this kind of thing. Running it on a Mac Mini would ease my worries about battery and heat issues. I would've guessed that they'd scale better as well, but I have no idea if that's actually the case. Also, you'd be able to run the server as a service for automatic restarts and such.

All that said, a rack of iPhones is pretty fun.
What if there is 1 person with 49 percent and then 1000 with 2 percent?
If you trust Apple with what they do on your iPhone, you should trust the third-party with what they do inside their app, there is no difference.

If you need to know the details of what is done inside the third-party app, then that third-party is not trustworthy. Or you also need to know what is done inside iOS.

The problem is that in today world, we don't know who we can trust, and that the context might change over time. We all believe that Apple doesn't do shady stuff today, but has anyone proof? and will that change some day?

> taking advantage of more readable syntax in programming languages

"AI" is the programming language here. The readability of any lower level language(s) that may exist as a compiler target of the "AI" is about as important as how readable assembly language is to someone writing software in Rust.
This is assuming that new technology will grow the same as in pre-LLM times, and merely be picked up a year late. But use of LLMs is likely to cause new developments to grow and spread slower, because of the reduced visibility. It may take much longer for a new development to gain currency to the extent that it becomes sufficiently visible in the training data. This also slows competition between evolving technologies.

In addition, as the article describes, the LLM services have biases built in to them even among existing technologies. It amplifies existing preferences, leading to less diversity and competition between technologies. Tech leads will have to weigh between the qualities of a technology on its own merits against how well it is supported by an LLM.
Is the English pronunciation close enough to the Mandarin (天安门广场) for the word to even be understood by someone who only speaks Mandarin?

Well, you should do cost analysis BEFORE you go to court. That does not mean just how much money you should get out but also whether the other side is even capable of paying.
A huge part of the problem is that this information is not "on the front page". Regular people never see it. Foxnews doesn't run these stories and local TV stations are all mostly owned by Sinclair Broadcast Grp. Only people seeking this news sees it.

This is how we live in different realities. These people don't feel guilt because they live in ignorance.
This works perfectly fine as long as you're happy with being approximately the only user of your code. With some of my projects I do just that, but it gets very different once you add users to the mix.
Sure, but people need to start fighting that battle. Not in the least because asshole employers want it both ways: get people back into the office, but keep the precarious work environments of Corona times: shared desks, noisy environments, long commutes with no compensation which are not part of the work time, etc.

I'm all for going to the office if they're willing to compromise. But no, it's their way or the high way.

TL;DR: For original object truth rather than image truth, this paper shows VLMS are superior, even though prompt shows the authors are "holding it wrong".

Yet another paper where the authors don't address what tokens are. It's like publishing Rolling pin fails at math or Calculator fails to turn dough ball into round pizza.

While I can understand where they're coming from in a desire to avoid hallucination when doing some letter for letter transcription from an image, certainly most times you reach for OCR you want the original copy, despite damage to its representation (paper tears, coffee stains, hands in front of it). Turns out token conjunction probability conjectures come in handy here!

Whether the image of an object, or the object, is "Ground Truth" is an exercise left to the user's goal. Almost all use cases would want what was originally written on the object, not its present occlulded [sic] representation.
