> Nothing about LLM's dropping context over big enough windows implies they don't have theory of mind

ToM is a large topic, but most people, when talking about an entity X, they have a state in memory about that entity, almost like an Object in a programming language. Thta Object has attributes, and conditions etc that exist beyond the context window of the observer.

If you have a friend Steve, who is a doctor. And you don't see him for 5 years, you can predict he will still be working at the hospital, because you have an understanding of what Steve is.

For an LLM you can define a concept of Steve, and his profession and it will adequately mimic replies about him. But in 5 years that LLMs would not be able to talk about Steve. It would recreate a different conversation, possibly even a convincing simulacrum of remembering Steve. But internally, there is no Steve, nowhere in the nodes of the LLM does Steve exist or have ever existed.

That inability to have a world model means that an LLM can replicate the results of a theory of mind but not posses one.

Humans lose track of information, but we have a state to keep track of elements that are ontologicaly distinct. LLMs do not, and treat them as equal.

For a human, the sentence Alice and bob go to the market, when will they be back? is different than Bob and Alice went to the market, when will they be back?

Because Alice and Bob are real humans, you can imagine them, you might have even met them. But to an LLM those are the same sentence. Even outside of the argument about The Red Room/ Mary's room there simply are enough gaps in the way a LLM is constructed to be considered a valid owner of a ToM

FWiW the @tptacek usage I linked was from five months ago, prior to that little USofA parochial renaming fit .. although it does highlight that everyone about the "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" is, indeed, an American and it makes sense to differentiate them by country.
How do I relink a random app on the app store with my own version an LGPL library? This is what it comes down to.
I've had trouble with cheap bonded leather, but never with real full leather.
The whole lead poisoning scandals are really great examples of how capitalism/free markets have serious limits to what they can achieve. They should should be seen as a useful tool to help make certain markets more efficient and not as an ideology to embraced without limitations.

Even when consumers understood that leaded petrol for example was contaminating the air and water with carcinogens that harmed many many people especially babies and small children the market still had demanded leaded petrol and that demand was catered to by companies making huge profits and scientists deemed that there was no safe threshold.

It's been speculated that the fall of the Roman Empire can be partially attributed to prevalence of lead pipes and leaded drinking vessels. When a critical mass of elites/rulers have lead poisoning there was a subsequent collapse of those societies.

In short it's basically a national security issue even if it does make fuel cheaper and more effective.
Your reply is unrelated to my query - is a uv lockfile able to handle multiple arches like a Poetry lockfile?

Wow you're so cultured and intellectual!

> He didn’t write about drug addicted Mars settlers like PKD.

Read the first stories on mars colonization, long before philip k dick.

It's not a moral fault to not have read something. But perhaps don't go lecturing people who have?

You don't see me going to china to lecture about chinese literature while I don't even speak chinese. Don't do that. It's sad.
You got it, this summary was based on my fragmented thoughts, which I then refined and structured with the help of an LLM.
ForkLift is really good.
Candesartan has been massively helpful and has very mild side effects compared to beta blockers like metoprolol.
Rendered ineffective, and I concur with your observation regarding assent.
I thought it was obvious but apparently not. Sarcasm is only funny when not tagged with the /s.
You might as well sell this to Microsoft—they'd pay well, and more people would get to benefit from your great work!

It really makes you wonder what kind of bloat is slowing down Explorer and whether it's lurking elsewhere too.
Yeah, it was his plan all along to drive people away from the thing he paid I don't remember how many billions for.
Why were you trying to extinguish a fire using diesel?
I don't use much, so for me this is not a good deal - I'd pay for "unlimited" usage, but make just a few requests daily..

So those who use less pay for those who use more, and I don't see it as a fair deal.

BTW, Grok 3 will be available on x.ai in coming weeks.
Being a philanthropist connotes having a purely altruistic rationale for giving away money.

If you’re giving away money to shush people, or gather support for your politics, or gain something else out of it then you do not receive the beneficial connotation.

Strictly going by definition, dictators can be philanthropists.
Easily done. I think one of the problems with the DIY space is that it's pretty unforgiving for someone to enter into - there's an assumed level of knowledge and there's little to no patience in the community to teaching that level of knowledge. If you hang out on the reddit DIY spaces, you'll see it flips from "yeah you can do that no problem yourself" to "you need a professional, why would you ever attempt that" very quickly, with very little explanation as to _why_. (FWIW, they're usually right).
At least that was before those studio guys even existed. No excuse now though.
But the MS Flight Simulator is not available for Mac. X-Plane on the other side is available also for Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
You're assuming complexity, whereas my experience is that it reduces complexity. E.g. you get infinite scalability. You get no need to ensure all your queries are scoped correctly, because they can't directly access other data.

Most large systems ends up with async processing and/or eventually sharding anyway, and then you get to restructure around those flows anyway, while still having the complexities of semi-centralised databases.

The world is async - once you embrace async designs from the start and design your UX around accepting that there are very situation you need global serialisation of events, it gets a lot simpler.

> Sqlite shines when it's on the edge (be it a fat desktop app, or a thin-client which can hold a cache, or any other modern definition of edge),

Which is not materially different from a server spinning up to serve requests for a single user.

> I don't get why people try to repurpose it to simplify server architecture, especially in this day and age even the most database with the most complex installation is one docker pull away.

Because maintaining a large database cluster and scaling it to large user sets, and ensure the application software is using it correctly to avoid problems is a lot of work. I built my first datastore-per-user system in '99, without the luxury of SQlite. It was a revelation. It was a fundamentally so much more pleasant way to work.

In some cases, datastore-per-user is the right pattern. In other cases datastore-per-tenant. In some cases, a big RDBMS is still the better option. But don't dismiss the former two without actually exploring it. Over the years, I'm finding it fits more and more places, especially thanks to SQlite.
It's not so much about the impact of the secrets leaking. Instead, its about the impact on communications if diplomats need to worry about their communications leaking.
This is great.

For summaries my preference-where I have the option to set it-is for a bullet pointed list over a condensed paragraph. Easier to scan and typically does better at conveying the flow of the source too.
Ah, you only get your information from zionist propaganda. No point talking to you then :)
> What you are saying is "people who disagree with me are wrong and I need to chase them all over the internet

Nope, I don't say that. The HN people did vote on a topic they found important, and it organically came on top. That means that, yes, there is 1 out of 30 topics on front that you might want to skip because you consider yourself informed. There is no way we are chasing you. Victim play.

The way you react shows how effective the toolbox is of those that are currently dismantling democracy. Don't take it personally, we are all targets. It has costed me personally quite some time and reading to understand how the dynamics work, and how our culture has been prepared to tolerate the nonsense. Victim play ("that transgender hurts me"), disinformation, spreading contradicting messages so media is able and will relay confusing info without putting it in a broader context under the guise of "neutrality" and so that the populace can pick the lie they find most convenient, weeding out dangerous people (experts), sado-populism ("look, that immigrant both steals multiple jobs and simultaneously only collect benefits"), etc.

They depend on you to give consent. You can read the other topics.
The photons will also create heat and that heat can be used for useful work at any time, even when there are no photons hitting that side of the earth. For example it will evaporate water which will later condense into rivers, where you can put turbines. So it's a kind of fusion power, but less direct. Pure science fiction, of course.
Whoa... hold on there cowboy! You are waaaay too mature to be allowed participation in contemporary political debates. ;)
If the toxicity of lead were discovered today, it would have been dismissed as a giant conspiracy.
In our company we are only allowed to use GitHub Copilot with GPT or Claude, but not Claude directly. I'm quite struggling with getting good results from it, so I'll try to adapt your workflow into that setup. To the community: Do you have some additional guidance for that setup?

That's exactly what I've been asking myself and I wish I could. I index our huge, nested network drives every night with Everything and can search & find within seconds.
Sounds like its getting close!
I am not sure I understand this and I believe it's wrong and misleading unless I am missing something obvious. Why would it be the case that hand-written SIMD would perform worse than scalar and non-autovectorized code in debug builds?
Like the article I hear Spring Boot here mentioned again. I also really hate the annotation culture. This is big in Spring Boot, and more common in Java since it is so damn verbose.

It is not inherent in Java though, and the Kotlin "developer culture" seems to be much more annotation averse (as we all should be).
I can't suggest a new test no, it is a hard problem and identifying problems is usually easier than solving them.

I'm just trying to say that strong claims require strong evidence, and a claim that LLM's can have theory of mind and thus "understand that other people have different beliefs, desires, and intentions than you do" is a very strong claim.

It's like giving students the math problem of 1+1=2 and loads of examples of it solved in front of them, and then testing them on you have 1 apple, and I give you another apple, how many do you have, and then when they are correct saying that they can do all additive based arithmetic.

This is why most benchmark tests have many many classes of examples, for example looking at current theory of mind benchmarks [1], we can see slightly more up to date models such as o1-preview still scoring substantially below human performance. More importantly by simply changing the perspective from first to third person, accuracy drops in LLM models by 5-15% (percent score, not relative to its performance), whilst it doesn't change for human participants, which tells you that something different is going on there.

I was indeed referring to blocking youtube completely, not just ads on youtube.
I needed leaded solder recently too for a vintage audio project, I'm in the UK and while it was a bit of a faff to track it down initially I was able to order some locally. Might get better shipping buying from the UK next time!
In everyday life when we use the word 'or' it often means 'xor', right?

There is a misconception about antidepressants that they would make you numb or high or anything like that. Since they take a few days before really kicking in, they also do not tend to be addictive. Also, when you talk to people that go to a therapist, they might give you a bad feeling about it, since the people that are okay to talk about it are often people that are already in deeply and like to ventilate their problems or messed up life.
You're regurgitating a thoroughly bunked talking point. The "both sides" enlightened centrism serves exactly one side and you know which one it is.
I had a migraine for more than 15 years. After quitting caffeine completely as a self-experiment, it never came back. When the migraine came, I had it for at least 3 days without improving. So I had to take something with Triptan, like Dolortriptan.
> dropping the prosecution of Eric Adams

But "without prejudice" which is how they have the hold over him (because they can refile any time he's not doing their bidding). If it was truly dropped, they'd have no leverage.

> "The order is for all charges against Adams to be dismissed, and the dismissal is without prejudice, the official said, meaning charges could be refiled in the future."
Ok but is not Anthropic also American?
Run a discord server. Hang out and chat, even if you’re playing different games or watching shows and movies. Sometimes knowing you’ll be heard even if no one is actively speaking is a good activity.
If you write Java just like you would write Go - meaning, no reflection shenanigans, use Jigsaw to cut out unneeded JVM stuff, or use GraalVM and compile natively (which you will be able to, because you did not use any of JVM reflection magic), Java will absolutely be competitive.
UV is the biggest enemy of both.

Also be aware that ozone generators, which some people like to use periodically to deodourise their car, will also accelerate the degradation.
Learning to Unlearn
Thanks for explanation. From that Github page it's not clear at all what models/service they use for autocompletion.
Not my area of expertise, but anecdatally, everyone that I know, that has suffered from diagnosed migraines, has had really crippling symptoms. They seem to be fairly universally severe. I have had headaches all my life (including ones related to a brain tumor, back in the 1990s. The migraines don’t seem to be related to that tumor, which was treated with surgery). In my personal experience, the comparison is night and day. There’s a clear difference.

Basically, a migraine is a “day-ending” event. In my case, I’m fortunate that I can still get stuff done in the morning, but after lunch, the day’s pretty much a write-off.

I’m really grateful that they are so rare (I’ve had three full-term, and one “aborted” one, in the last 30 years). My mother used to get one or two a month, and her day ended fairly early. When I was a teenager, I got them more frequently.
Only safe and easy if json file fits into the RAM.
Same here, although I've talked to people who were equally confused with that formulation.
SOC2 without the usual paywall – it is free and open source
Hey everyone,

Over the last months, I built an open-source solution for compliance. The platform is still early stage, but it is already serving a few customers.

SOC 2 is the first framework with which we started, and as it is mainly good practice (especially early on), I believe it should be openly accessible.

So if it can help you out, feel free to use it!

I wrote a rudimentary autopilot in Go that used a Kalman filter to maintain straight and level flight. It was a fun exercise!
This

It shone, pale as bone
As I stood there alone
And I thought to myself how the moon,
That night, cast its light
On my heart's true delight,
And the reef where her body was strewn.
There's rarely any reason for not being able to shut them down, because you can trivially replicate. E.g. I've built systems where the only global piece of data was which backend held which user, and that data was trivially lazily updated via gossip-style protocols. Login requests were broadcast, and the backends responded, and the central services acted only as "backups" storing the most up to date info seen in case a backend happened to be unavailable. The whole thing was trivial to set up.

(And you can back up sqlite "live" just fine with some care if you want to, or things like litestream).
It could eliminate issues where startup time and background scanning processes might interfere with initial throughput, though? Even things like CPU throttling could be affecting the test somehow. The main goal is to eliminate as many variables as you can.
Working in a almost full-remote org, I resonate with the foggy aspect. On transcripts and record keeping, I feel most remote orgs keep pretty good transcripts of their meetings and people understand why it matters and play by the rules.

Then, requests to have oral conversations outside of scheduled meetings usually means something derailed.

Either they're about to say something that can't be left in writing, or they intend to have a discussion that they shouldn't be having in the first place (they'll ask for something I'll probably have to refuse). Or things got awry enough that speed matters over tracability and transparency, and we're basically in red alert.

Right now I think "can we have a quick call" in a single message without any other context is probably the most dreadful thing to say to someone at work.
People used pip-tools for this prior to uv (uv also replaces pip-tools).
If you don't like doing your job, well paid or not, best is to switch jobs. Life's too short for feeling miserable in your job.
It would be fairly unfortunate if you couldn't answer a call because you can't untangle your phone, agreed.
We did a lot to address that issue, at least.
Not “purely” as a byproduct. They are complementary industries. Without the leather trade, meat producers would have to pay to properly dispose of that byproduct.

I agree that would be wasteful, and I love quality leather products myself. But I recognize that the leather, meat and dairy lobbies all work towards the same goal of ever expanding the industry.

So I am always on the lookout for great vegan leather. If the demand market dries up, this will raise the cost of meat and dairy, which will give alternatives to those a better chance to thrive.
It nosedives randomly?

(if accurate)
So if Congress passes a law that a department must be created and has this budget and these powers and must do these things, but the President just refuses to hire anyone to staff it, you think that is legal?
Sorry for the slightly off-topic question:

As a "kid" I loved Flight Simulator (this was 25+ years ago).
If I wanted to get back into it today are there any recommendations what to use/get in terms of software and hardware today for a beginner?

I did briefly (1h or so) try Flight Simulator 2020 but I was missing a kind of tutorial path starting with an absolute beginner. I might misremember this though!

So: Any recommendations on software, hardware, tutorials? I'm not looking to become a pilot, just spend a few hours every week learning a bit and having fun.
DeepSeek is good enough, and _REALLY_ open, unlike the lie of "openAI".

Won't last since more trained and bigger large language model and "reasoning" language model will arrive.

And we know how Big Tech does work: they won't stop until then spend you out of business. You better have significant unlimitied subsidies and really get results.
Best to use a compressor or canned air.
Gerd and the like are sometimes caused by too little acid. Maybe your GP can discuss HCl pills to take if you feel a flare up coming?

I only get bad reflux a few times a year and I use baking soda, so I never think to buy HCl at a pharmacy.

Best of luck.

Not always. Since around the time of Reagan, the word legal has meant to be whatever the conservative elites want. They have gone to great lengths to corrupt the highest courts in the country.
What exactly do you imagine that such "recognition" would entail? Are you expecting the IDE to provide its own package manager, for example?
Most github pages used to be rendered on the server but they often require js for the actual content now.
What's very nice with wayland protocol, clients have to query the availability of this sub-protocol and gracefully fallback to alternative code paths if not around.
It’s not really ironic. You could spend a couple hours making yourself twice as good as using AI tools, or a couple hours making yourself like .1% of a better programmer, assuming you’re not banging your head against the wall anyways.

It’s one of those things where a little upskilling can make a big impact. So many things in life need a bit of practice before they’re useful to you.

For starters, you need to change the default prompt in your editor to make it do what you want. If it does something annoying or weird, put it in the prompt to not take that approach. For me, that was absurdly long, useless explanations. And now it’s short and sweet.
Some anecdata on prevention experiences:

* metaprolol (pulse-slowing beta-blocker): fewer attacks per month, "dampened" attacks, bad side effects (fatigue, energy loss, dark moods)

* magnesium supplements: no noticable effect (they say it might have an effect if you happen to get too little through your food)

* vitamin B: no noticable effect

* simvastatin (cholesterol lowering medicine): some fewer attacks per month, but attacks when they come seem full strength

* candesartan (also a blood pressure medicine): much fewer attacks per month, "dampened" attacks, very few side effects, current "winner"

(CGRP's are expensive, haven't tried.)

For stopping attacks, triptanes work well.
This is very likely. They'll do a Liz Truss budget of massive tax giveaways. I'll add "bond yields will go up" to that list.
