It's difficult to convey why computer evaluations are not always a good measure for whether a move made by a human is good.

I think the main point is that computers are so much better than humans at playing chess that what might be a reasonable move for them is effectively a terrible blunder for a human. It's like comparing a student driver with an F1 pro, and saying, "It's totally reasonable for the student driver to yank the wheel to the right when driving at 300 km/h, because an F1 driver would be able to recover from that." The point is that the student driver won't be able to follow up with near-superhuman ability to save the situation.
Why do you assume only poor people are annoying neighbors? Rich people can afford bigger speakers, more booze, and to not have a job so they can stay up all night. I think wealth is positively correlated with the problems you describe.

My take on "Stone Soup" is that it was written as an allegory for cooperation, as well as, perhaps, a guide to how to induce it in the face of reluctance.

Of course, intent and outcome can differ, and Gopnik takes the piece to a new place. But then, that's also in the spirit of the original as I read it (individual ingredients creating a greater whole).

And of course, as with all metaphor and allegory, there are limits to the comparison. But utility as well, and the point that AI LLMs require significant additions on top of the LLM-trained stones bears pointing out.
Kagi is fighting the good fight. I admire them, though I'm not yet a customer.

I stumbled upon their Orion docs, I find the following concerning:

Orion is a free, lightning-fast, privacy-protecting browser for Apple users, open to the web and all its standards and protocols. One day, we hope everyone will say Orion is the best browser for all Apple devices. We're glad you're here!

That's fine and dandy, but I'm not an Apple user (I'm South American). I'd assume Apple is the larger user base for their U.S. customers, but outside of the U.S., Apple is not really a thing.
Russia is special. They're a sophisticated adversary with a drastically different warfighting doctrine. They still optimize airframes for dogfighting, are laser-focused on hypersonic tech, and we don't officially know how good their missile defense is (probably excellent, or at least good enough to be dangerous, which is a bit of a theme).

They have a much lower defense budget, and have been forced to actually be creative and clever about problems, as opposed to our throw-money-at-problem-ergo-win approach.

tl;dr Russia is not a fun opponent, and they culturally really enjoy statecraft so best to stick with statecraft.
Yes, that's the consequences of congress abdicating it's constitutional role, and apparently corrupting the court system to judicially push through an agenda that would be electorally unpopular.

Intelligence is not domain specific. Training is.
As a human, I oftentimes can solidify ideas by writing them out and editing my writing in a way that wouldn’t really work if I could only speak them aloud a word at a time, in order.

And before we go to “the token predictor could compensate for that…” maybe we should consider that the reason this is the case is because intelligence isn’t actually something that can be modeled with strings/tokens.

This is chesterson’s fence playing out in real life with the major superpower of the world and it has real consequences for people. It should not be the insane fiasco that’s happening right now with an unelected foreign citizen admitting in a cabinet meeting that they accidentally stopped Ebola vaccine financing. If you seriously think this is going to turn out well after we saw trump’s first term I just don’t have anything to help you.the funniest shit is that all of this upheaval is literally < 1% of the actual budget and it’s going to be touted as billions in savings by musk the grifter in chief. I don’t need time to see that this is a dumpster fire.
As for point 1:

Russia has ambitions beyond Ukraine. How anyone could forget that when only about 35 years ago they controlled regimes that consist of 40% of Germany in addition to all of Eastern Europe is beyond me. We're not talking about Crimea here, we're talking about Kharkiv, Tallinn, Helsinki. We're talking about the time they marched, with tanks, into Budapest and Prague. We're talking about the time Hitler annexed the Sudetenland. There is but one proven answer that stops people from dying in the long run over the past hundred years. I care about the Polish and Czech people who had their territory split up and who decided to fight and now have their nations back. Same with Ukraine. Whether that means Crimea or not is up to them, but it seems obvious which side one would rather support for lasting, permanent, peace. The one that united the old enemies of Germany, France, and the UK who had fought amongst each other but are now on the same side. The same side that Poland, and Spain are on, despite these five nations having fought again and again over a thousand years. Russia is the odd one out, despite some support for the minor players like Serbia, Hungary and Slovakia. I don't see Poland forming a military alliance with France against Germany or vice versa. It's all, in a nutshell, against Russia, but it's also without any designs for an invasion of Russia.

Now that's peace. For the first time in history (except maybe for a few years after 1815) the nations of Europe haven't torn themselves into pieces for decades now, with one single perpetrator, Russia, being the exception. And Russia already has more than enough land, being the biggest country on the planet, and resources beyond imagination. You blame Russia is what you ought to do, you support a peaceful, prosperous Russia that stays within its borders.

As for point 3:

Article 83

> In the event that the term of authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine expires while martial law or a state of emergency is in effect, its authority is extended until the day of the first meeting of the first session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine , elected after the cancellation of martial law or of the state of emergency.

Article 157

> The Constitution of Ukraine shall not be amended in conditions of martial law or a state of emergency.

No, it's not a democracy. _Because_ of the invasion by a hostile foreign power.

Just wondering, during WW2 would you have been critical of the "pro-UK people here", listing it above anything Nazi Germany, Vichy France or Soviet Union did, because the UK didn't have an election between 1935 and 1945?

Maybe simultaneously give it one or more other pitches that you consider just on the line of passing and then have it rank the pitches. If the evaluated pitch is ranked above the others, it passes. Then in a clean context tell the LLM that this pitch failed and ask for actionable advice to improve it.
They canceled elections. How long can a long parliament run before it's no longer a democracy?
I feel like the way to think about troubleshooting is to think about it as an umbrella encompassing reliability and quality engineering in software. If you can find ways of showing how reliability and quality of a software can be broken and how it can be improved (simultaneously), then you have a career to make.

Don't wait for stuff to break and react. Be proactive and find ways to demonstrate how it can break and how to fix it.

I'll grant that LLMs do more than just sit there, but what Gopnik is pointing out is that, at least as of last August (in a very rapidly progressing field), they also do not, of themselves approach AGI without the addition of numerous other ingredients, particularly training data, alignment, and prompt engineering.

One could argue that in the original allegory, the stones don't merely sit either, but contribute (with some clever persuasive rhetoric) to facilitating the cooperation required to brew a compelling stew.

All analogies melt if you push them loudly enough.
I know lots of Ukrainians. They all know that life under this sort of "agreement," which is actually Ukraine paying reparations for a war it didn't start, for zero security guarantees, was beyond moronic. It wasn't an agreement it was mere capitulation to Russia to continue genocide.

Actual real Ukrainians are fighting, and signing back up even after being injured.

Ukraine is on "death ground" and has nowhere to go except to fight to survive. Ukrainians know that. Russia knows that. I'm not sure that those that spout Russian propaganda know that, and for example I doubt you know any Ukrainians with questions like yours, but you sure do sound like the Russian propaganda lines that get trotted out to Americans.
Doctors aren't machines, they're humans. I have not yet read the full paper, only the article, but I already see something really big and important to look out for. When I read the full thing, the question I'll be asking is "what's the likelihood that the self-esteem of doctors was directly intervened on by the exam taking process itself." How do you control for the loss in confidence that learning of your test performance gives you? How are we certain that learning your score on the board exam doesn't make you more conservative (or riskier) with how you treat patients as a psychological effect?

Cities are composed of people. Obviously, it doesn't make any sense to say that a city wants something that its people do not want.

The people in a city want businesses because they want good jobs and services to be available to them. Homeowners (the majority of the residents in most American cities) especially want that influx because the newcomers drive up their property values.

So yes, the people of Dallas, on average, really do want those businesses and newcomers

How many times have we seen this ploy? First you have a nice policy, then you change it to something extreme that causes outrage, then you walk back most of the change saying you had legal or whatever baloney reasons to make the change in the first place and somehow couldn't wordsmith the language well enough the first time.

I don't buy it. I hope some day business schools begin teaching that this ploy is a very bad idea. And if this really is the corporate lawyers being greatly insensitive then force PR and others to review every change they make to any policies that could destroy the company.
> they will never be paid back by the Ukraine

It's "Ukraine," not "the Ukraine." "The Ukraine" is a Russian imperialist term because it's rooted in the idea that Ukraine is a mere territory (akin to "the Great Plains" or "the Midwest") that belongs to a larger political entity.

Any black American that you know with wealth over $350K is in the top 5% of black Americans. Any black Americans that own a three-flat in Chicago are well into the black 1%, which to white people still looks poor.

Black people pay landlords far more than they are paid as landlords, because rent is a reward for already being wealthy.
