Not sure why you would assume that.

GP was on track - they wanted voice channels, many of them, before we had any demonstrated demand for it at all.

They wanted additional, opt-in roles, so anyone could @ a cadre of self-appointed ‘question answerers’ if they, I guess, (and this still isn’t clear to me), felt as though their question was more important than the questions of those who didn’t elect to do so.

They wanted auto-mod stuff that would maybe somehow automatically answer people’s questions (‘AI’), etc

The software in question (TouchDesigner) is a complex, idiosyncratic, node-based programming environment with a tough learning curve and a GUI dependency that makes question-asking and -answering more onerous than non-graphical programming.

As mods we’ve put a ton of effort into helping the torrent of new arrivals ask better (often less lazy or broad) questions and thus get better answers, more often. Many of the requests we get are well-intentioned but seem to think the reason questions go unanswered is because no one saw them, when it’s obvious to us that in many cases, they’re just extremely lazy questions.

Unreal has a similar problem, in my experience, with the difficulty of asking a question with sufficient information making it common that those willing to help are still only inclined to go the distance with people who are willing to meet them halfway.
would you say making a powerpoint is "easy" or that "everyone copy/pastes a template they think looks good because design is hard"?
Can I just wholeheartedly congratulate you for having found a critical benchmark to evaluate LLMs. Either they achieve 100% accuracy in your game, or they cannot be considered trustworthy. I remain very confident that modules must be added to the available architectures to achieve the "strict 100%" result.
This thinly veiled advertisement claims it's a waste of time to understand the tradeoffs in the models you're using, and you should instead pay them to make those decisions for you. No thank you.
It's not just that, though I'm sure the American/European car makers are still in the $1,000+ range in extra labor costs.

China's subsidized their EV market with tens of billions directly. On top of that, they subsidize critical components and materials. They also keep their currency artifically devalued.

An American comnpany could do everything BYD does and still not come remotely close on price.
Absolutely, when call hits local switch it can be terminated differently based on its location. Particularly pertinent for modem based services in the 90s. A single national dialup number would terminate on 100s of local pops and routing decisions would be done to keep traffic as local as possible.
This is a bit silly isn't it? It's like saying having colour options for your new car is a UX failure because someone else should choose that for you.
why not, human agents cost much more than that, considering the ai agent works 24/7, if you wanted a human to get paid 10k and work 24/365, good luck. Humans also waste a massive amount of time. I mean the theory is they work very hard, but even 10x devs I know work extremely hard for only 30% of the year. After that they spend all their time training others on the code that made/changed. They also become excessively egotistical and fight anyone trying to change/replace their code.

Ah, interesting - I’ve not had much experience with Claude, will give it a go. Thanks.
I've been using Warewulf (&co.) for provisioning bare-metal clusters for decades (back into the Perceus days between Warewulf 1 and 2), it's a solid easy-to-comprehend tool that does things in ways that are transparent and built from generic [u/li]nux tools enough that they're not hard to think about when needed, but automated enough you usually don't have to.

Definitely shows its research roots, best-tested with RHEL-alikes, reasonably well tested with Suse and Debian, and you may be in for some extra work if you need provision something else, but that pretty much covers the common cases (and it integrates with containerization tools if you need some specific environment on the nodes).

It's a nice to have when you need to spin many nodes.
I'm not surprised either. I see this as another example of LLMs' emulating human behavior. I've met way too many people that refuse to admit they didn't know something (he says while looking in the mirror)
I don’t know who needs to hear this in the executive branch, but markets do not like uncertainty.
Love when someone that actually knows their stuff does a deep breakdown like this. Super useful

I wonder though if all it matters is the last punchline. The profit margin vs competitors. If llms truly get commoditized and do not benefit from economy of scale(like infra/aws) because they would be run in house, then would all companies that use them be in a nash equilibrium? Like everyone has access to the same stuff, same reasoning, same benefits. The only people who will really win in enterprise are consultants that find the best way to leverage and implement agents, not the model makers themselves. And of course data will still be king

This is internalized capitalist serfdom right there. You are in a business contract. If it’s not your fault you can’t do anything useful, why the F feel guilty? Best thing you can do - if I may suggest - is to use that time to find a better job. Sometimes a job doesn’t work out, don’t beat yourself up over it and learn the signs.

> The highest echelons of corporate structure are indeed occupied by the kinds of people who are comfortable swearing allegiance to the corporation itself, not to its customers, its employees, its founding values, or some "greater good for society". Thus do we arrive at a world where these corps are headed by people who truly believe in "maximizing shareholder value".

I think you're misreading his interpretation. The Sociopaths enter and exit at will by feigning loyalty and interest to the corporation but ultimately they're not loyal to the corporation -- just loyal enough to maneuver around the power structures. once those structures are no longer useful they either break them, or jump ship, as evidenced by one of the minor-character managers in The Office.

those actually loyal to the company itself are the Clueless, who stick around even when it is clear the company isn't looking out for them, the customers, or much of anything.
I mean, it's a license. They can't enforce what they want if someone else wants those factors. If CC didn't provide it then we go back to the wild west of custom licenses.

The website question is easy. The biggest clients are in fact webdevs who help people make the website anyway. A layman can navigate through it, but many people will just throw a few hundred to a "wordpress developer" to whip up the site in a few days. And of course, when your audience is tech, they prioritize features over simplicity.

WYSIWYG is also just really hard to do when you're making it yourself.
Neat!

Years and years ago I had the opportunity to give Intel processor designers (the time of the 386!) requests for features.

I requested a system tick timer for stamping logs (they did that), bus mask and value registers that triggered a debug interrupt on a match (they did that).

And a jump source history. Maybe 10 jumps back. So on a breakpoint you could figure out how you got there. A time travelling debug feature.

At this point Intel sold an expensive debug probe for recording the bus, you plugged this insane cable into the processor socket and it actually executed in their external hardware, recording every instruction.

My jmp history would have replaced much of that, obviating it's need for the vast majority of users.

Ah well, it didn't happen. So now we all rebuild code 'debug' so we can add tracing and tracking, disrupting the execution path, changing timing and code size and on and on.

I always regretted not getting that.
The example you gave is not very impressive, normal, non-reasoning LLMs have been able to do this for a while. E.g., Claude 3.5 Haiku solves this no problem.
To try to complement what other replies already said...

I think an important result of successful intervention is to awaken (or reawaken) the mind to the idea that thoughts and perceptions are internal and not always accurate representation of an objective, external world. Much psychological stress comes from these internal experiences, and subtle shifts in your mental posture can change this environment.

That's not to say that real stressors and stimuli don't exist. It's just that often times a person can spiral in a way that makes their internal reactions counterproductive and harmful to well being.

Another important result is learning better coping and adaptation strategies, so you can start to shift your mental posture or even change lifestyle and environment to reduce chronic stress.

It's not always easy, not magic, and not perfect. But, it can help...
Do they work? It’s an interesting pricing strategy because it begs your defense of them. If they work, then $10,000 / month is cheap!
+1 for #1. In general, I would recommend providing non-async alternative APIs, with the async runtime as an option rather than assumed default. Not all of us drink the kool-aid there. And no, I don't mean just providing a "sync" API that uses "block_on" behind the scenes but still uses tokio...

Also, for async don't mandate tokio, use the "agnostic" crate to abstract it so people can use alternative runtimes.

And yes, don't use anyhow in a library like this. Anyhow is for your internal code, not public libraries/crates. Define a set of error enums, or use thiserror for it if you have to.
Oh it was a track day! That's all we need to know....so many other factors are at play here.
"Even in announcing this supposed pause, a White House official told some American news outlets on a background briefing that the tariff reprieve would only apply to Canadian exports that are compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) — and not goods that are sold into the U.S. outside of that trade deal.

The Associated Press reported that roughly 62 per cent of imports from Canada would likely still face the 25 per cent tariffs because they're not "USMCA compliant," according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity to preview the orders on a call with reporters."

Majority of goods still affected by tariffs. Any suggestion that tariffs are being paused is a complete lie.

> In his dissent, Alito wrote that because of the Supreme Court's order, the government must pay the $2 billion at issue "not because the law requires it, but simply because a district judge so ordered."

Justice Alito is straight up lying here. The contractors (AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and the Global Health Council) already performed work for USAID in line with the Foreign Assistance Act (the legislative act that created USAID), so the federal government owes the contractors money [1]. Elon Musk, Trump, and DOGE froze USAID payments and are blocking USAID from fulfilling its end of the contracts, which is illegal impoundment (after Nixon's presidency) [2]. The four dissenting Justices in this case are directly contradicting the Biden v. Nebraska student loan debt ruling that they all signed onto (no blanket student loan debt relief without an appropriate act of Congress, which the HEROES Act was not) [1][3].

The district judge in this case was enforcing Congress's power of the purse, a check that the legislative branch has on the executive branch. Alito and the other dissenting Justices are pretending that the judge is only relying on the judicial branch's check of interpretation on the executive branch.

I don't think "God, Family, and Guns" is the "militia member" or "gun nut" you're looking for. In fact, you probably won't find any of them on YouTube. YouTube's rules for firearm contents basically mean you get much more tame contents on YouTube than elsewhere.

Brendan Eich was against Gay Marriage at the same time that Barrack Obama himself was against Gay Marriage. A detail often forgotten in the rehashing of old grievances.

IMO, calling Brendan evil or bad is the kind of moral shortcut that Progressives love taking. A microcosm of the election, really: all the capable moderates were effectively canceled or marginalized by self-righteous radicals, who deemed that the only "good" candidate was someone who couldn't even win a primary.

It's bad politics and lazy morality.

If the whole VC world does start trying to live off of the US government, and specifically off of this sovereign wealth fund thing, then it actually seems unrealistically optimistic to think that connections with the traditional military/intelligence/national security establishment will be the connections to have.

Except for small, unusual elements, that's all "deep state". Definitely any parts that have any real, deep expertise would get sidelined as obstructionist fossils or whatever. They're already purging the military officer corps to put in loyalists who will do the things MAGA wants without asking too many questions. And I'm sure they're purging intelligence to put in people who not only do what they're told, but say what the boss wants to hear.

The connections you'd need to have would be with Trump cronies and only with Trump cronies. I'm sure they have some Grand Vision(TM) to offer for where the money should end up.

Hammers are NOT designed with a specific purpose, they are just big heavy metal things with a handle for leverage.

Similarly LLMs are a thing that turned out to be useful and we end up looking foru usecases for it.

Ha! handle the cold... I had some digestive problems. They were sporadic at some point. I could judge my health state by how cold felt: If I felt it like it attacked me, I was ill, If I felt it like a notification without other effects, I was very healthy.

I too noticed that I aged in bursts but I think it happens because something bad happens in your body at some point and that will trigger other problems in the rest of the body. So until you recover, the whole body struggles.
Kind of amazing how multiple people in this article will say something like "Blockchain ... has zero to no use” and list the reasons why this is so, and at the same praise blockchain (the same person says it's a "fantastic technology") or trot out the same excuses we've heard for years about how it will take time to realize "eventual benefits."
Huh. The researchers seemed to gloss over the Cloudflare Pages URL, but it's actually pretty interesting. I haven't had a chance to look at it in depth yet, but it appears to use the search-ms: URL protocol to show an attacker controlled WebDAV server to serve the malware.

The server hosting the malicious files seems to be down now, but this post details a similar attack:

https://micahbabinski.medium.com/search-ms-webdav-and-chill-...

It also seems to be part of a phishing kit, or potentially generated with AI due to the presence of the following comment.

// Замени на свой URL

Which in English is:

// Replace with your URL

And various other descriptive comments like

// Полностью очищаем страницу (Completely clear the page)
// Создаём новый контейнер с индикатором загрузки (Creating a new container with a loading indicator)
// Через 3 секунды скрываем Cloudflare и запускаем загрузку (In 3 seconds, we hide Cloudflare and start the download.) [Though this was next to a 900ms timeout, so there's definitely been some tweaking]

They're the kind of comments that don't really make sense if the author is writing them themselves, but would if they're using something off the shelf, or asking some LLM to output code. The descriptive comments of what the code's doing definitely makes me lean towards the latter.

Agree 100%. Not the most important example, but I used to be heavily into World of Warcraft. The go-to place for discussion of high end play was a forum run by the guild "Elitist Jerks". Everything was there out in the open, to be read and indexed and discussed and preserved indefinitely. The forum eventually went away, but the info was still available thanks to the Wayback Machine.

Fast forward to 2020 when Blizzard put out WoW Classic (basically the original 2004 state of the game again, as a nostalgia trip). I was bummed to find that all discussion of the game had moved into discord servers. And not just one. There was a separate discord for every single class (mage, warrior, priest, etc). Sometimes more than one if the community couldn't agree on which was best. Every guild had their own discord. Special purpose servers existed for niche topics. If you wanted to find a piece of information, you had to hope that a helpful moderator had pinned it somewhere, or else rely on a crappy search feature. If a server is shut down or you get banned, all of that info is lost forever. It's a nightmare.

Discord is a perfectly good tool for real time chat. It is a TERRIBLE tool for summarizing and preserving knowledge. But unfortunately it's increasingly being used for that purpose and I do not for the life of me understand why.
To be honest, I don't expect the performance to generalize to other task types with this specific training regime. If we had a panel of like 30 logic puzzles and cross-trained against all of them simultaneously it might though.

I think there's a lot of benefit to discovering a training regime that allows small specialized models to do extremely well in one narrow task; if we can figure out how to make small models that beat SOTA on a specific task and are cheap to train and run, that's in some ways a more useful outcome than a very large model that is good at many tasks (but is more expensive to run for each of them).

You could phrase it like that. I dont want Musk to tell me who to subscribe to. I don't want Google to hide specific articles I searched for, even when I surround with quotes. With my feeds, I would simply unsubscribe from such muck. Here, you surrender your feed to the platform. But apparently the majority love being shepherded into whatever makes the company the most money. Content is content in their eyes.

It's not how I want it. I also speak out against it because how they are doing it is dangerous. But perhaps it is too late these days.

Oh, right. Yep, that's not particularly accurate. I meant it more as "instead of losing resources focusing on mars, we should focus on the Earth because there is a lot to do".

Again, I would argue that we are, right now, building the conditions of a collapse, meaning that many (most?) humans may not survive it. It's not just climate change, it's essentially all the planet's limits we know. Did you know that we have probably already lost the Amazon?

But well, what's the point of arguing, you agree that it's really, really, really bad. Sorry if you don't like my wording, I'll try to do better next time ;-).
