Yes, it can implement features. It does 80% of the work, I still need to review and do the last 20%.

This industry is cyclical.

People forget that because this cycle was so long and so deep.

UC Berkeley produces more CS graduates than it ever did. So does every university, and every bootcamp.

The market cannot grow forever. And things that can't go on forever, eventually stop.
This is elegantly stated.
> And in this particular instance, it makes sense to switch.

Are you are accepting that the host might be someone who only opens a door with a goat when your first choice was the door with a car behind it, and still arguing that you should switch?
I’m not sure. If I don’t click on one that is a bus it won’t let me forward. It’s not like I click an “Ok, I’m done” button. I guess we could all delay clicking and maybe it would give up and assume the unknown bus wasn’t really a bus after all?
You talk numbers, so let me ask you a numbers question: at their current valuation, if the brand is 60% of the value that’s top 5 estimated brand value.

Is OpenAI really one of the five most valuable brands in the world?

I am so happy I am not this jaded after over 20 years in software. I have never felt like I have hit a ceiling in terms of salary or skill. I still learn each and every day. I would get bored if this were not the case. Would I recommend it to everyone? Hell no but I wouldn't choose anything else.
Indeed, DEC was a cool name. I also loved the simple yet recognizable digital logo.

Intel - I think tel would invoke tele like telephone or television so maybe a phone company or television studio. In an alternate world: "Get on the air with Intel - the intelligent television company!"

I'm assuming crypto only exists either as a fraud or a nefarious activity to undermine global banking.

I'm 50/50 on that and the current US president makes that a hardship
> Apartments here in the US, at least where I am, have a typical usage of 300 - 800 kW, which is a lot more than 800 watts.

Isn’t this confusing usage with capacity? To compare them you have to multiply by efficiency and average sunlight hours.

Still likely doesn’t fully coverage the high end of that use but the set of apartment usage would certainly have some overlap with the set of generating capacity of 800 watt panels.
Oh yes, the problem text specifies that in this particular instance the host opens a door and offers a switch. It does not specify that the host does this every time, which is the constraint in question.
"As a result of..." does not mean "they were directly, fully paid by USAid".

And then considering the millions of people whose life has been disrupted by the US, I guess it doesn't sound completely crazy for USAid to try to help a fraction of that number?
Maddy was a nickname for Maude (before becoming a nickname for "Madison" itself) but that would make it a rare since it'd be from the mother's side. Random internet sources claim it's more likely to be a variation of "Matthew's Son" but none seemed particularly certain.
Orcas are so efficient as predators that they can afford to eat only the tastiest parts of what they kill. This shark, e.g., was missing its liver. I once saw a documentary of them drowning a baby humpback whale only to eat its tongue. Seems like very few creatures can treat the world as a safe, playful buffet.
I think this explanation is just cope. Nothing about the problem should lead you to believe that the host is an evil genie purposefully trying to trick you. Attacking the framing device for the problem is the kind of post-hoc rationalization you make after failing at a probability test.
There is a relevancy bias here. From the perspective of a highly literate society we see fewer grammar rules as simpler. But is it, really? It is substituting one complexity for another. English has fewer noun cases, but a multitude of prepositional phrases that are really hard to keep straight.

The grammar of language tends swing back and forth on these factors, perhaps some guided by literacy and the rest a random walk, and what is “simpler” to us might be a subjective statement based on what we speak now.
Thank you for the feedback! I’ll try to see what I can do about it. Perhaps make the QR codes display in a modal in front of the original content. Alternatively, I can try having the page automatically scroll (with ease-in and ease-out) to the QR codes.

What kind of dev container have you tried? What is the source of perf overhead?
Very cool. I don't believe in some "grand conspiracy" but the whole thing was very, very weird.
The problem text asks what is the better choice in this particular instance. It does not care about hypothetical other instances.

Is there even a consistent way to do it in a language? The Russian chess player Ian Nepomniachtchi is called Jan Nepomnjasjtsjij in Norwegian for instance. Must be so many ways to do it.
Hmm, I wanted to require less fiddling around by the user once the QR code is scanned, which is why I generate two QR codes that encode the same secret but with different labels.

Blogging also creates something that never existed, and likely never would have existed.

If you believe consciousness is a way for the universe to know itself, then expressing your truth in a blog is a way to participate in that process. The random assortment of atoms that make up "you" are gifting the universe a novel creation that could not have existed otherwise.

Whether you think this is of value is a different topic, but at the very least, it's a neat mindset to slip into IMO.
I definitely feel like NPM could be doing more to detect these. Right now it really feels like they're just hands off.
This is an ironic statement, right? Because you’re mindlessly parroting a copy of a copy of what was once, probably, an intelligent and appropriately nuanced take? And because you’re attributing this to the “JS ecosystem” when supply chain attacks are common in many different ecosystems?

LLM-ass comment.
I liked Elon 90% of the time 5 years ago. Now honestly I don’t want him to build a whites only mars base.
> two highly overlapping normal distributions with slightly different means

It depends if we talk about means or tail ends. The GP post referred to marathon runners, presumably winning marathon runners, even within the Rift Valley in Kenya don't get selected from the mean of the population but from the tail-end. So, while there isn't much of a difference for means between runners in Albania and Kenya, when we look at tail end we might find very large differences.

Same thing for any case where is a selection process. If you have any "top-X" selection involved, then looking at means is a bit more confusing.

> Therefore you still have to treat people as individuals because the ancestry provides little signal

Hmm, I don't see here people anyone arguing not treating people as individuals. Of course we have to treat people as individuals. But not sure how that contradicts looking a distribution of traits, features, disease markers, etc.
Ah yes, we are back to the 90s where we are going to have agents taking care of everything for us. All we are missing is Andersen Consulting to sell this to the CEO.

Here in Germany, you often come across surnames that end in "-ski", which I assume come from Poland. That is also an example of getting "stuck" with a specific version of a name: in Poland, that ending would indicate that the person is male, while "-ska" would be female, and there's even one when referring to the family that shares that name: "-scy".

So whenever I meet a woman with a "-ski"-name, I wonder how many generations ago that name got stuck with just the male form.
I'd say lifetimes give the most cryptic errors to beginners.
It stuns me that the government is still playing games 62 years later. I vividly remember the JFK assassination as a kid. Read a few of the conspiracy theory books while in high school, all they did was convince me that there was still a lot we needed to know. I can still remember one of Oswald's few public comments was that he was set up and was a patsy.
With VAXCluster? You betcha!
You may be referring to PayPal as one of those companies, but in case you’re not: Elon did not found Tesla.
Sorry about the delay in responding - but how is "Just use a crypto wallet" any better?

What I probably should have said was that the platform should be offering a USD (or Euro, or whatever) denominated account, much easier for trading.
If you go to a shop in a small town in America that sells used goods, you will almost certainly find a few editions of the local church cookbook. Depending on its age, it will likely refer to many of the women who submitted recipes in this manner. You could probably even date the cultural transition by comparing the books across a few decades.
>getting a library into debian is also a somewhat big and lengthy, compared to npm et al which amounts to "npm publish" and you're done basically.

Which is a good thing. It's not like npm skiddies use this agile process to revolutionize the industry with AGI, they do left pad and a different framework every week.
We're working on Agents over at Zapier, https://zapier.com/agents

You can have Agents run behaviors async by attaching triggers to them, for example when you get a specific email or something gets updated in a CRM. You can also give the agent access to basically any third-party action you can think of.

Like others in this thread have pointed out, there's a nice middle-ground here between an LLM-only interface and some nice UI around it, as well as ways to introduce determinism where it makes sense.

The product is still in its early days and we're iterating rapidly, but feel free to check it out and give us some feedback. There's a decent free plan.
Take the money. It's not Open, and its not A(G)I. You won't get a better deal.

Great come-back, but at this point, I'd take the money. The field now has nation-state actors, it will almost impossible to sustain a revenue flow for this: price is going down.

Should it be surprising that an LLM specifically instructed to replicate itself and specifically given the tools to replicate itself has in fact replicated itself? I would say no.

Do you consider Seattle to be a "tech hub"? I suppose it depends on the level of your expectations, but it's hard for me to imagine how anyone could call my family's situation "incredibly bad". Despite my never having been wealthy nor made comp a primary focus, we have a nice modern house in the center of the city, near friends and everything we need, where I can walk to work every day. It's true that the school district is not so good, but that's what private school is for.

It was not but regardless how is this a bigger security violation? Also is the claim here that Secretary of Treasury lacks authority to grant access to treasury data or that President lacks authority to grant security clearances? Keep in mind Scott Bessent was confirmed by a huge margin. This was a rare bipartisan vote as he is an extremely qualified individual for the role (unlike many other Trump nominees).
That’s really all there is in the comment. They’re unambiguously conflating “number of dependencies are higher” with some sort of statement about the value system of people that work with a certain language. It’s silly language tribalism.
That depends entirely on the final contracts they signed with OpenAI Global, LLC and I think there have been at least two deals so far (and latter ones might have amended the previous ones).

Based on their blog post [1] and various rumors in the press, it sounds like Microsoft has some contingencies in place. I assume their investments will just convert to hard equity in case of a sale (if they haven’t already).

If you reduce your dependencies, you start appreciating the OS ecosystem, they don't always have the latest versions or all the newest packages, but it's stable and lacks vulns.

All of this is proper of a foundation layer. So as a dev you find that the first dependencies to go are at the app layer, and all that is left are OS dependencies.

So
Don't they sell used cars in Europe?
Seems easy enough to use a parallel scan if you're willing to accept a little work inefficiency, right? Assign each scanner thread a block, first each one counts/xors how many quotes are in its block, exclusive scan on those (last thread's result is unused), and you have the quoting state at the start of each block. And hopefully that block's still in the core's cache.

Or since newlines in strings should be rare, maybe it works to save the index of every newline and tag it with the parity of preceding quotes in the block. Then you get the true parity once each thread's finished its block and filter with that, which is faster than going back over the block unless there were tons of newlines.

>Why you think this matters now more than it did before.

More of the low hanging fruit has been picked over time. The motivation most of the original algorithms for a lot of computer science problems were practical. Once all (or most) of the optimal solutions for practical purposes have been found you are necessarily (or almost necessarily) left with only theoretical solutions.

Right. FWIW, Feynman predicted that physics would become rather boring in this regard, because physics education had become homogenized. This isn't to propose a relativism, but rather that top-down imposed curricula may do a good deal of damage to the creativity of science.

That being said, what we need is more rigorous thinking and more courage pursuing the truth where it leads. While advisors can be useful guides, and consensus can be a useful data point, there can also be an over-reliance on such opinions to guide and decide where to put one's research efforts, what to reevaluate, what to treat as basically certain knowledge, and so on. Frankly, moral virtue and wisdom are the most important. Otherwise, scientific praxis degenerates into popularity contest, fitting in, grants, and other incentives that vulgarize science.

I’d be curious to hear what you think that PyPI et al are doing that NPM should be copying. It sounds like you’re pretty knowledgeable in this area, to be comfortable making comments like this with such confidence.
Ok? I too have been coding for over a decade and use Copilot as fancy autocomplete. I like it. It's not amazing.
I didn't see it anywhere, I had to search "OpenAI" and sort by date to see any discussion. And then one of those discussions linked to this one, which didn't appear in the search.
The question asks what the best choice in this situation is, not a different situation. The answer does not depend on whether any other situations exist.
Anyone Cares for Datadog Vector as SaaS?
I see developers and DevOps struggling with running in-house OTel pipelines.
Would you like to subscribe to a SaaS version of Vector (https://vector.dev/)?

The only prohibitive cost would be the outbound cost, which can be offset if the SaaS service provides a CloudFront link to send the data to since the cost of EC2 to CloudFront is USD Zero.

Would you still not use this service, and why?
In Germany (and I believe the entire EU?) we now have a "building energy passport" that summarizes information like this, broken down into simple numbers and rating scales. It has to be provided when selling or renting a place, and definitely influences behavior.

All the recent palaeo-DNA data suggest a horribly massive process of genetic replacement of the local population by the new arrivals. This process is of course very uneven -- e.g., the population of Ireland seems to have mostly shifted to a new IE language -- but in some cases the change was drastic. Moreover, in some parts of Europe this seems to have happened several times, with first agriculturalists replacing local hunter-gatherer populations and then IE people replacing them in turn.

The problem of IE is of course very abstract, while the problem of, e.g., Celts is much more concretely paradoxical (continental and island Celts share the language family but not a lot of archaeology and a dubious amount of genes). However, it is still a more or less commonly accepted fact that at some point in the past PIE peoples spread like wildfire, bringing their dialects, genes, and culture to a very large area, and it is of huge historical interest to know where they started from.

The fact the IE epic and mythological traditions have zero memories of all this, I would say, is interesting but does not prove or disprove anything.

Pardon my ignorance -- assuming that range and codomain are approximately equivalent in this context, how do you specify a prompt with a large codomain? Is there a canonical example of a prompt with a large codomain?

It seems to me that, in natural language, the size of the codomain is related to the specificity of the prompt. For instance, if the prompt is "We are going to ..." then the codomain is enormous. But if the prompt is "2 times 2 is..." the codomain is, mathematically, {4, four}, some series of 4 symbols, eg IIII, or some other representation of the concept of "4" (ie different base or language representations: 0x04, 0b100, quatro, etc).

But if this is the case, a broad codomain is approximately synonymous with "no correct answer" or "result is widely interpretable". Which implies that the larger the codomain the easier it is to claim an answer "correct" in context of the prompt.

How do you reconcile loose interpretability with statistical rigor?
