And there's no way to delete your chat history basically. You can delete your account, but that doesn't destroy your messages.

And as for privacy: Your username is anonymous, but your email isn't (to Discord), so the % of users that didn't create a separate fake email, or ever connected with a trackable IP, basically aren't anonymous at all. They also record your voice. Every user's voice is recorded in isolation and can be used as training data for identification algorithms. Including unusual characteristics like breathiness, diction, accent, and so on. Probably it can estimate your age as well.
> even if Americans do speak more like the Elizabethan English than today’s Brits themselves

I get the sense that the article very much believes Americans speak more traditional English.
A guy named 'john_texas' talking about 'warm water ports', could you be any more obvious?
I did it for a few weeks but I started having nosebleeds daily so I stopped.
I'm curious why you think batteries that can run a car are simple? Literally new technology, no?
I agree. But on X, at least people will see and read your post. On your blog, you have to wait for it to show up on Google, or you have to find a way to drive traffic before anyone see it. I have a few posts on my blog that received 0 visits after months of being online.
A Tale of Two Cities – Science Funding
US, UK, Canada, and Australia, certainly. But almost all European countries are multi-party. I suppose there's an argument that some voting systems are "more democratic" than others, in the sense that they allow/incentivise individuals to express a more accurate picture of their desires via their vote.
Since 1980 the Republican controlled houses of congress have intentionally not raised the Worker Soc Sec Retirement withholding amounts so as to not have to properly increase SS-Benefits to cover inflation! And it was not because the Republicans actually cared about the workers themselves as the Republicans were more focused on keeping the Low Wage industries' in the US matching Employer Soc Sec withholdings as low as possible.

An so wee have had an intentionally undefended SS-Retirement fund the last 40+ years of the Republican controlled congress, that mostly had the Republican Congressional Majority overlapping many Democrat Controlled executive office tenures! And so Social Security does not work By Republican Party Anti New Deal design, before and especially since 1980!

The Social Security 2100 act needs to get passed so that no low wage retiree gets a SS-Retirement check that's below 100% of the federal poverty level and that Republican Tax Cut for the most wealthy and Corporations in the US needs to be allowed to elapse to pay for that. And really the Corporate Tax Rates in the US needs to be returned to the same levels that they where when Eisenhower was POTUS and to fix the 40+ years of Republican Party intentional underestimating the proper SS-Withholding amount to properly fund Social Security!
What if you use a physical (paper) dictionary? Perhaps people will respond to it better.
In a perfect world, we would have had a very broad conversation not just about AI in education, but about the role of education in society.

I don't think it has ever been a purely intellectual pursuit. Especially in societies that tell you that you'll never get a well-paying job unless you get a degree - students feel significantly more pressured to pass tests by any means necessary so they can present a certificate to their future employer than they feel encouraged to learn and grow. For the ones who are actually interested in their field it's probably something in between. But the deal is pretty clearly "Get to a prestigious school, make sure you don't spend any more time than necessary, and if you don't get a degree then it's been a huge waste of time and money".

Of course it's very disrespectful to just generate some AI slop and expect a human to read it and grade it, making them spend more time with it than you did. Of course there's value in training and shaping your mind in ways that will prepare you for not just your job but as a person in general. But the system isn't really geared towards that, and I missed that perspective in the article.

I don't think all that much has changed since the time when almost all scientists were wealthy aristocrats. The work itself is more accessible now because it can also be a job that puts food on the table. But if you want to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge, to the point where a degree is just some optional external validation of your efforts, you should be independently wealthy.
It appears that they reused a lot of the data preparation provided by the AllenAI team:

There would be no refugees if it wasn't for Zionism. Most of the world recognizes that Zionism is a crime against humanity and the generations that don't are rapidly aging.
True, that's why my professors always explained the parameters of the assignment and what you were and were not allowed to do.
The thing is, having access to AI generating "writeups" for you, or even reading through what you've generated, does not equal knowledge in a useful sense. The act of writing would prove you have the knowledge, and can organize it and operationalize it to an extent of writing a text about it. So there's a real difference between being able to write your own summary and faking it.

If we're looking for bright sides, there are parts of education/public debate which have been merely about stringing words together and mastering a discourse. This can be made more irrelevant by being indistinguishable from ravings of a generative model. Remember that even something like literary studies is supposed to be about themes, ideas and parts of human experience reflected in art, history of intellectual formations and stylistic techniques etc.

I was gonna say, knowing educated people I doubt any of this makes you wiser by itself. This would disprove the 'prepare for life' bit of the OP. But thinking about it, the most ridiculous scams and traps in life aren't generally targeted at people who've read Milton, Moliere etc. So maybe there's something about exercising your mind about human condition, and thought and experience accumulated by mankind, that I'm not appreciating enough. It does allow you to have a wider language to speak and listen, more dimensions to understand things in, and experience life.

Anti-trust is the reason a lot of the kinds of deals you’re talking about don’t happen.
What I find most draining is the non-coding work I now do for work. I love the org I work for and it's really fulfilling but I do a lot of senior stuff now and I feel like the years slip away without always getting to build and invent as much stuff as I'd like to. There's so much to do and learn, it's amazing, we live in this difficult world but with amazing opportunities, and I wish I had an extra 12 hours a day (of energy) just to learn and build.

I was young once, 25 years ago I started programming, and I feel as though I have at least another 25 in me, if not more.
And yet, damage done. We can assume that for 77 million Americans now, the Department of Education is now seen as a "bad guy".
We did some similar work back in 2020: https://www.kryptoslogic.com/blog/2020/12/automated-string-d... I've always wanted to revisit it and add support for garble but I guess that's no longer necessary :)
I wonder what happened to that?

There are occasions where you just want to make it a little harder to impersonate an official client where it can be useful to store a secret in the binary. It's still vulnerable but requires intention and actual effort.
Zionists have carpet bombed Gaza so it makes sense that they removed their own people first.
Sounds like hyperbole, but the massive amount of competition in this space is what saves humanity by making AI available to all, and not just oligarchs. Hard to remember when there was such a flood of competition in a deeply productive space
Others will text you and insist that you keep the feature on for the conversation.
Author does also say:

> Or: 'I just used it to help with the research.' (More and more, I have been forbidding outside research in these papers for this very reason.
20 years of bad habits facilitated by a given lifestyle can also be very hard to break. Not many can manage duly accumulating the savings while completely isolating themselves from what they work on, who they work with, and how all of that impacts their worldview.

And that's not even considering health. 20 years of being in a bad mental place (stress is bad, but a perceived lack of purpose and agency might well be worse) will leave its marks.
Yeah, I'm not fundamentally opposed to them training on copyrighted material, though I expect at some point to be thoroughly frustrated while trying to access such a dataset.

I do take personal affront when they dump models without specifying their datasets. They're just polluting the information space at that point.
Thanks! Yeah I planned to use MIT OCW for my education, at least the first 3-4 pre-requisite courses, before I even consider registering in an independent program in some University.

BTW I hope you are going to get more free time in a few years so that you can come back and enjoy the education again.
More proof that old boomers don't get what its like to be a modern, young adult. I was just texting with friends about this at the coffee shop this morning while making plans for this weekend. Boss is interruping by goat-yoga mindfullness session, asking me to come into the office an hour this month. Who has time for this?

You olds have all the money, all the time.
One allowed exemption is: "I have practical difficulties in acquiring MitID, which gives access to Digital Post" (via Firefox translate).

MitID is Denmark's digital ID system. It is only supported on proprietary US-based operating systems. https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/help/help-universe/platform-suppo...

Do free software users count as having practical difficulties?

Do boycott-US users count as having practical difficulties?

I wonder if Denmark is reconsidering their national dependency on the US.
Facebook never federated so their implementation was just an API they couldn't control to them:

> Facebook Messages are evolving to allow people to share rich content beyond text: photos, videos, audio and even stickers. We want to ensure the best possible send and receive experience where all these rich forms of content are reliably and consistently available on every platform. XMPP doesn't support all these (and future) content types, and it's difficult to ensure an XMPP client is rendering them appropriately. As such we've decided to sunset the XMPP Chat API.
Money can't buy you a sense of purpose, especially if that purpose would largely involve non-monetary aspects.
Yeah the state of the art is pretty awful. There have been multiple incidents where a model has been dropped on ollama with the wrong chat template, resulting in it seeming to work but with greatly degraded performance. And I think it's always been a user that notices, not the ollama team or the model team.
Well, let A be the conditional probability that one becomes homeless given that he uses recreational drugs. Let B be the conditional probability that one becomes homeless if he doesn't use recreational drugs. If A does not turn out to be significantly larger than B, then my understanding is incorrect.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll work on giving the players randomized names.
Yeah! We used to write code on paper too! Software engnieers should only use paper too!

All computer programs should also be printed and reviewed using punch cards!

A literal computer with arguably more features than a modern desktop is too limited!

This is a totally sane take! I know I like writing things twice, or using a format without any ability to search through it.
I've considered dropping terraform (openTofu) for our k8s resources since k8s is stateful anyway.

But that would complicate synchronization with resources outside of k8s, like tailscale, DNS, managed databases, cloud storage (S3 compatible) - and even mapping k8s ingress to load_balancer and external DNS.

So far I feel that everything in terraform is the most simple and reasonable solution - mostly because everything can be handled by a single tool and language.
I hope we have the compassion as a society to get to the point where I can say, "If I am unable to recognize my children, please kill me." At that point I would have died regardless of the condition of my body.

there are a lot of them, actually. I added the Kagi Small Web feed to my RSS reader a few days ago and I'm kind of overwhelmed.

ravi-delia explained that the fact is that an OCaml int is different than either Int32 or Int64 because an 'int' sacrifices one of its bits to the OCaml runtime. Int32 or Int64 are treated completely differently and are library defintions, bolted onto the OCaml runtime.

That is a runtime system not suitable for systems-level programming.

My C experience gave me a fundamental misunderstanding because there, an int is always derived from either an 32- or 64-bit int, depending on architecture.

OCaml is architected differently. I imagine the purpose was to keep the programs mostly working the same across processor architecture sizes.

I imagine this fundamental difference between OCaml's native int and these more specific Ints is why there are open issues in the libray that I"m sure the int does not.

Regardless, no one should be using OCaml for systems-level programming.

Thanks for helping me get to the heart of the issue.
If you're constantly looking up things on your phone about what a speaker just said, you'll miss the thing being said right now. Humans cannot multitask. Anyone that says they can are lying or are misguided at best. So instead of missing one thing, you've put yourself in a position to miss even more rather than looking up something afterwards.
Whew, good you added 5) All of the Above as I was onboard with more than one of the above.
Taking this up a level, I think Nate Silver wrote something yesterday about how much better modern polling and models were from like a reporter on a bus hanging out with the candidates.

But I think we don’t often think about what we lose when things are more efficient. There’s something about vibes based elections that has something too much data doesn’t, and I think humans are inherently vibes based(we see this in the focus of stories in marketing, and given how controversial polls are, are we really happier with all this data? One of the most interesting stories of the past 100 years of politics is “Dewey defeats Truman” an impossible story in the era of publishing and polling efficiency.

We’re starting to see this in some tech visions of the future, the most efficient system is probably one with super-AI and all humans are dead.
What you want is virtualization, not containerization. And you have this already. Since MacOS doesn't have a stable syscall interface, decoupling the host/guest in a mount namespace and chroot would lead to horrible breakages when the system libraries of your container are out of date with your host OS. So you would have to share the host OS and a big portion of the userspace to begin with.

Or you can package your app as a .app and not worry about it, there's no "pollution" when everything is bundled.
My neighbor passed away from dementia recently. We first moved in maybe a year after his diagnosis and had to watch it progress. Horrible.

Now a friend of mine who is the best programmer I know has an early onset diagnosis. I have noticed him starting to pick fights regularly with people on LinkedIn over programming topics.

It's a really, really hard thing to watch someone go through.
Locality is different from language. In your example, it would have to show you the local German news, as that's local to you, and it would have to show it to you in the first supported language in your accept-language header.

Personally I would prefer, for example, Reuters.com to be a "hub", and all the regional variants on de.reuters.com. Then just let the user choose what they want.
And Canada would do best to hold strong until this US presidential term is up.
When you say "predicting facts" you imply "predicting true future events." Delphi is no longer operational, so it simply can't be done. (At least, not past a certain -- very, very low -- complexity threshold in the macroscopic non-quantum world.)

"Science" is coming up with, and testing, theories -- they may be true, they may be false, and you can't know, and shouldn't hold a very strong position, until you test them. It's true that a more intelligent person will come up with better hypotheses and more inventive ways to put them to the test, but that's not what you seemed to be talking about, nor are we in any disagreement on that point.

A more intelligent cat will also catch mice more effectively -- it'll have a more accurate mental model of the mouse and of its own physical capabilities in time and space. Still, the outcome of the hunt is never perfectly predictable. Some outcomes are statistical -- and, intriguingly, LLMs mirror this in how they predict tokens.

> LLMs seem to be dramatically bad at "procedures".

How do you figure, and how did you reach this conclusion?
Hi, I'm from DuckDuckGo. We absolutely do not send IP addresses to others, nor do we store them ourselves.

It could be something similar that we see happening in seasoned weightlifters/bodybuilders:

As your absolute strength gets stronger, the same exercises and workouts get proportionally more fatiguing.

5 sets of a bench press at an 80% of max load, taken within a rep or two of failure, done by a first-year lifter, is incredibly different from that same scheme being done by somebody who's lifted for 10 years. So more advanced lifters tend to do things like lighten the load and use variations of lifts that have more favorable stimulus-to-fatigue ratios.

Anyways, I thought maybe as an advanced programmer, something here could be analogous. You've already done all the coding and thinking to figure out easier and lower-level problems. So what you're left with are the more cognitively challenging parts of coding, which should be more mentally exhausting per unit time. Whatever is '80% difficulty' for you is probably way more advanced than what you were looking at 10 or 20 years ago.
Each day I get a little older and each day I hear that guy who retired after 40 years at Microsoft to start a goose ranch call a little louder.

I'm pretty sure that my career in technology is going to end with me on a ranch miles away from the nearest computer and it sounds delightful
> ... [CSS functions] will simplify hack-ish CSS and open a lot of new possibilities.

If this is the goal, I'd rather see the spec updated to address the "hack-ish CSS" directly rather than introducing functions to the mix. This seems to be making CSS more complicated rather than simpler.
What protectionist tariffs has Canada imposed on the USA exactly before Trump's trade war?

> And so, no, you’re are wrong, these are not tariffs for nothing. Stop lying.

But you... Did? There was a free trade agreement, negotiated and signed by the same president you put back into the White House, it's just NAFTA with another name, and even with that they decided to put tariffs on Canada. There's no rhyme or reason to do that, no matter how much you attempt to be a pushover with an absolutely empty argument.
It used to be very true, but with Apple's popularity the second-hand market is quite saturated (especially since there are many people buying them impulsively).

Unless you have a specific configuration, depreciation isn't much better than an equivalently priced PC. In fact, my experience is that the long tail value of the PC is better if you picked something that was high-end.
Looks really cool, but in production systems, won't the trace files proliferate at extreme speed? How would you correlate the files to a certain session for user identification for example?
I have not looked at the format of the microcode yet, so this is only based on the blog post and discussions. K8 and K10 were based on Risc86 just like Zen seems to be. There also are some parallels, especially when it comes to sequence words and branch delay slots. There are also major differences like moving from triads to quads. I assume there are quite some similarities, but the current authors are better qualified to answer this at this point.

Don’t let them divide you – remember you’re one People, one Nation, with one common good.

No, we aren't. We had a war about that.

In the wake of that war, we tried really hard to pretend otherwise. We made a "Pledge of Allegiance", which reminded us that we are "one nation indivisible".

And that lasted for a few decades. Then they literally divided that: "one nation, under God, indivisible". It deliberately excluded a lot of Americans who disagree about God, and obscured the meaning of the phrase.

The authoritarians are not an outside force, or a small minority. They are a huge fraction of the country who considers the rest of us Not Real Americans. We can't not be divided from them -- unless, perhaps, by joining them as authoritarians ourselves. If they'd even have us.
It depends a lot of where you came from. If you are coming from a poor background, without any perspective of the occasional help from parents or a possible inheritance, I'd say prioritize financial security. Of course, you can accept the occasional lower salary but with better career prospects here and there, but sometimes this is a mirage, and a lot of time, better pay comes with better career prospects.

If you didn't come from a somewhat privileged background chances are you started your career with more professional debt, without a rich contact network, you're probably a bit too humble to negotiate wages and even narratives like "when I started my business I had come from a working class family, and had to scrap by raising 80k from my relatives to start my business" are out of your reality. So, prioritize being financially secure first.

This angst about a sense of purpose is basically a privileged class malady, if you are poor our friend Maslow will ensure you have more pressing issues to care about first.
People should learn about Palestine because all you have to do is read about The Balfour Declaration and Nakba and it becomes crystal clear that the Zionists are "the bad guys", is there doubt about Nazis? It's the same situation.
You said "not every European company embodies European values", but as an example you mentioned an American company.
Thank you. Models are clumsier than I expected in mafia games. Despite my clear instructions to 1) limit max output tokens, 2) avoid thinking out loud, and 3) use the <think></think> tag for internal thoughts, they sometimes behave misleadingly.
