I had an illness as a child which meant I was in and out of hospital for a while. I have a few very fuzzy memories from this time. The earliest, I think, was when my grandparents had come to the hospital. All I can remember is the feeling of the situation. They were all worried. I'm not even sure if I could talk at the time. I'm certain this memory is real because nobody has ever talked about this; it's not really a notable event for anyone else involved.

I also remember getting transported to Great Ormond Street in the night. I remember going in the back of a strange car (taxi? Hospital transport?) with a tartan blanket. I also remember being given a suppository, something that I didn't believe was actually real until about 20 years later (people don't really talk about them).

But I can't remember at all whether my siblings were there or not. I'm 2-3 years older than my brothers but in my memory they were just always there.
How can you even "open source" an AI model without all of the, presumably copyrighted and extremely voluminous, training data?
I believe I remember trying to say a word and being frustrated that parents wouldn't wait and gave up just as I was about to utter the sounds, or something along those lines, it's really a vague memory of having a memory at this point.

A variant of multi-modal LLMs may be the solution to self-driving cars, home robotics, and more.

I keep saying that to be a really effective driver, an AI model will need a theory of mind, which the larger LLMs appear to have. Similarly, any such model will need to be able to do OCR and read arbitrary street signs, and understand what the sign meant. Most modern LLMs can already do this.

In my case I didn't find much impact from diet and any blood tests I did showed no signs of inflammation. Though as I mentioned closer to the end of the post, I think generally focussing on your health (and I'd include diet in this) is always good. Most things might not have an impact but something often will.

Can you explain more about optimal dosages and which products deliver those dosages? We get about 0.05 J/cm²/s of infrared irradiance from natural sunlight, so we'd probably want to be at that level, or above but less than an order of magnitude above it?

One challenge is the irradiance drops off as a square a distance. So like 5 inch away vs 1 inch away is a difference of 25x irradiance.

You're both right because RLHF and fine-tuning are just techniques.

It's dependent on the training data and not as much the method.

So, if you make the RLHF/finetune data such that it avoids certain topics, then you reduce model quality in practice since your training data might accidentally cast a net wide enough that you make it avoid certain legitimate questions.

On benchmarks these things don't typically show up though.

But yes. Those techniques are required for making it chat. Otherwise it just autocompletes from the internet.

Linux has had unprivileged chroot for a while, via user namespaces. Their setup is a bit complicated if you want to support nesting in other container runtimes: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=support/sup...

After this dance, you can call chroot from within the new namespace. It's often also possible to use unprivileged bind-mount /dev, /sys, /proc, for a more regular execution environment (although some container runtimes block this unfortunately).

This is why I DIY pretty much everything which doesn't require me to climb onto our roof. It often takes me longer overall, because of general lack of energy after work combined with kids activities all throughout the week and kids competitions on weekends. But once I get started, I find the process goes quite quickly and that often includes YouTube research time and finding videos that solve my exact problem with the exact model of appliance I'm working on. Even building my own cabinets and epoxying my garage floor was all quite easy and has led to higher quality results than I've seen in the past from contractors that we've hired as well as work done for friends and neighbors. Hopefully this weekend I'll be pouring a concrete countertop for my daughter's bathroom so we can get that room wrapped up.

It's just time consuming and life has a lot of demands. I'd happily pay for this work if I had any trust in the results. But good contractors are hard to find and already very busy.
So is asking ChatGPT to write your application, then open sourcing said application IMO.

Spanish here. IMO all those services should be state owned. Set them with a tariff-free base monthly consumption and start charging beyond that threshold.

I'm ok with private companies providing the service to the state, if they think they can do it more efficiently and with fair pay to their workers. And, short leases, no more than 3 year contracts. But the current scenario, where most of the services are effectively privatized, is awful, expensive, inefficient and corrupt.
The interest doesn’t come from wanting to see random destruction like rubberneckers do. Commercial passenger aviation is as safe as it gets and incidents require multiple things to go wrong.

An aviation disaster is a fascinating thing because it pushes forward safety protocols or engineering safeguards.

There is nothing interesting about a car that smashes into a guardrail, which is what rubberneckers are into.

Bigotry causes cover for this shit. If trans people were just accepted for humans who just want to live their lives, then the pattern matching defense wouldn't need to exist. There'd be no need to assume "well, first and foremost, this is probably just some bigot claiming trans people are evil again".

But no, some people have to punch down, which means others have to develop defenses that assume all punches are punching down.

If nothing else, it would seem bigotry is highly inefficient.

That's pretty much the point of the article. As far as mainstream music is concerned, bands have been replaced by individual artists, producers, and computers.
Thanks for typing this.
Basically that's the reason why they built this benchmark. By posing challenging, seemingly unfair, benchmark questions, the system will be forced to at least have some generalisation ability that it previously did not posess.

When I look at the benchmark questions, they all look like they are exploiting the fact that LLMs suck at composition of subtasks. They might be able to solve each individual problem, but not the combination of them.

Solving that would be a far cry away from AGI.

Most people get confused by the two different phenomenon that will kill you when falling in cold water:

- the thing people have in mind is hypothermia (or more accurately, if you don't have a life jacket drowning because your body can't stay afloat because hypothermia paralyzes your muscles), but as your link point out, it's a pretty slow process: it will depend on water temperature and body composition (the slimmer the worse) but it will still always take at least 15-20 minutes in the least favorable case.

- the second factor, which is much faster to kill, is Cold shock response: basically if you fall into cold water, you're very likely to have incontrollable breathing while underwater, and will drown near instantly. That's why more than half the people falling in cold water will be dead in less than a minute. But if you survived this first phase (very likely if you have a life jacket) then you'll be fine for tens of minutes afterwards.

Always wear a life jacket when on a boat even if you're an Olympic swimmer.

A huge part of our problems stems from the fact that it's possible to make "companies" whose business model is built on losing money hand over fist until they've brainwashed everyone into thinking their "product" is good. In a sane world these companies would fail and AI would continue develop through small failures and small successes over a period of years or decades. Instead we get a firehose of nonsense just because a small number of wealthy people are willing to gamble.

> This seems to be a complaint about "mainstream" and charts

Not only "seems", the article is very explicitly exactly about that. Of course there are still people who make music together as a group, playing actual instruments. The article, however, points out that while bands used to be a staple in charts (and hence in the public perception), all that gets airplay these days is individual artists with music not made by a group of like-minded dudes or girls, but a producer with his/her laptop.
Success doesn’t imply honesty, good faith or absence of bias. You already know this.
> lefthook is written in go, hk is written in rust. This will make hk faster

Direct claim from the article.
Good historical comparison, but I doubt it this time because there is plausible deniability that a model wasn't trained on a given piece of data.

Also, the pool of public domain data is always increasing, so the AI will eventually win in any case, even if we have to wait 100 years
I'd argue that there's a big difference between having a group of people involved in producing a song and a band.

I mean, it is kinda quacky to treat someone with that until it's demonstrated by science. I'm open to the idea that light is an important regulator, but that effect should be easily observable if it's truly effective.
In 2024 Singapore executed 9 people, that is a rate of 0.149 per 100k of their population.

The rate of people shot by police in the US is 0.34 per 100k of its population. Who needs capital punishment when you shoot people your police doesn't like even before they have been found guilty?

And your anecdotal evidence is not really valuable in the discussion at hand. Somebody else can say the opposite, I for example live in a country where crime is treated differently and we have less violent crime. You can leave your doors unlocked in a major city, despite living in a red light district with its own share of homeless, drug addicts and mentally ill.

I'm no therapist or expert, but I -think- I have some inclination.

You admittedly never participated, so don't know what you missed out on.

For everyone else, in your teens and 20s you're more often complimented, flirted with, hung out with, everything. By your late 20s or so that fades fast. After all, there are new 20 year olds to flirt with.

And while it doesn't really register or hurt except when you think about it, when you get a single compliment it makes you miss it all. Probably no different than an old sports star being useful and celebrated again.

The only missing link to that theory for me is why young people get hooked on them, too.
The most important difference is that runtime.AddCleanup doesn't pass a reference to the decedent object to the cleanup callback.

This is a big deal, because it means that, once the callback is called, you know that the object is completely dead and will never be reachable by anything ever again. By contrast, if the callback receives a reference to the object as an argument, then it is only mostly dead, because it is still reachable through that reference. If the callback stores a copy of that reference elsewhere before it returns, then the object is no longer unreachable, and the garbage collection that triggered the callback has to be cancelled. This is called "object resurrection" and it can cause all kinds of horrible chaos, e.g., by allowing an object that's part of a reference cycle to be observed in a partially-cleaned-up state wherein its internal invariants might be violated. Writing code that correctly deals with the possibility of object resurrection is very difficult.

By contrast, runtime.AddCleanup mostly works the way you'd expect. There is one footgun, which is that, if the object to be cleaned up is reachable from the cleanup callback, then this will prevent it from ever becoming eligible for garbage collection, it will live forever, and the cleanup callback will never run. You have to be careful not to let that happen. But the consequence of messing this up is merely a resource leak, which is generally much less bad than the kinds of state corruption that object resurrection can cause.

Lots of programming languages with garbage collection went through the cycle of starting out with a finalization API that allowed object resurrection, realizing that this was a bad idea, and deprecating it or discouraging its use in favor of a new API that doesn't have this problem. E.g., Go now recommends runtime.AddCleanup over runtime.SetFinalizer, Java now recommends java.lang.ref.Cleaner over Object.finalize, and Python now recommends weakref.finalize over __del__. JavaScript was fortunate in that it didn't gain support for any kind of finalization until 2021, by which time the hazards of object resurrection were well-understood, so it only has the good API and not the dangerous one.

Back then GPUs were designed to maximize gaming performance (no CUDA cores etc.). Now they are general purpose devices that can also be used for gaming. So it’s a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

Rasterization performance seem to be only 3x higher (980 vs 5090):

Of course you still get additional features like ray tracing, DLSS etc. which make the real gap much wider (but probably not 14x)
Structure and interpretation of computer programs is a better nand2tertis. The issue is that it contains about 10x the information, assumes what an undergrad science student in 1980 would have known, has problems that are entire chapters of nand2tertis and uses scheme.

> Putin denied the legitimacy of the Ukrainian state. Although its leaders were democratically elected, he claimed that they had no right to rule. Because its people spoke various languages, he claimed that there was no such thing as a body of Ukrainian citizens. Hitler argued that Ukraine itself was artificial, the result of a historical turning point that never should have happened, the collapse of the Soviet Union. He claimed that the existence of national minority gave him the right to intervene in Ukraine politics. At some point in 2021, he ordered his army to make preparations for a quick strike on Ukraine. He also activated his agents inside the country
All this assumes that numbers do exist in the physical world as some quantities. They don't. Two apples do not bring the number 2 into existence. Our perception of multiplicity at a macro-scale, is at the root of counting numbers, and it depends on defining the inside and outside of a thing. If you cut those 2 apples into 4 pieces, do the 2 apples still exist? If we grind the pieces into paste, do you still identify them as 2 apples?

Also, cuts are just another way of talking about infinity, which falls outside of the domain for logical foundations of mathematics or the physics of universe. So, cuts are just as alien as infinity.

The logical foundations require existence of multiplicity, comparison (smaller, greater), time-driven causalitiy, true/false and existence to be distinct from non-existence etc. All these would fail when you bring in things like cuts or infinity. So no point in putting them to the logic of our world and claiming that we understood something.
