Ruby has significantly more capable metaprogramming facilities, but they aren't used in RubyLLM, it's all just objects and methods (biggest difference being use of iterable in Python vs providing a block in Ruby, as I felt an iterable would be more Pythonic here), which is nothing Ruby-specific.

And IMHO advanced metaprogramming should be used carefully, as it may make code pretty but really hard to comprehend and analyze. My largest issue with Rails is difficulty to tell where things are coming from and what's available (lack of implicit imports and ability to re-open any class or module and inject more stuff in there so there's no single place that defines it is a double-edged sword that may lead to chaos if wielded carelessly - YMMV, of course, I'm merely stating my personal preferences here).

In the context of saml that's hardly the least of it. Lots of the problems are things like allowing comments to sort of change the meaning of the document, allowing signatures to sign only part of the document. Allowing multiple signatures to sign different parts of the document, etc.

> But this? Too early.

Part of me understands this sentiment, which I take to be rooted in a feeling that he was of such value and had so much potential remaining that why would he take himself away from us...

...and those last few words were chosen deliberately, to highlight the selfishness and lack of empathy in the actual statement of "too early".

Part of me wants to apologize for suggesting selfishness and a lack of empathy, and part of absolutely does not: He was 90, he watched his wife die from cognitive decline, he may or may not have been declining, he may or may not have felt he had more to offer, but, most importantly, he chose to die when he could still make a choice.

Ultimately, that is the reason I cast any gainsaying as selfishness and/or lack of empathy: You DO NOT know him. I DO NOT know him. We DO NOT get to speak for him.

I loved his work. Despite all the flaws in Thinking, Fast and Slow, it remains an influential work, if for no other reason than it recast how we think about some of its subjects and themes.

Would I have hoped he would do more? Of course! Should he have stuck around because I wanted him to?

No. Period. Full stop. End of story.

The two best parts of euthanasia are grace and choice. He had both: He chose his time, and I expect, like my MIL, he died with grace and dignity.

For almost as long as I had known my MIL, she was in pain and suffered involuntary movements (inoperable benign tumour). When the pain got too bad, she had the plug pulled. She was almost giddy in the hospital, dressed in her favourite outfit, with two of her favourite people (not me, her daughter and grandson), having spent the day before with her love of 70+ years sharing memories and saying goodbye.

She was so happy that the pain would end, so happy to be going out on her terms.

Mourn Kahneman, but do not disrespect him - or anyone else - by second guessing him.

Autonomy and empathy are our greatest assets. We would do well to remember both.
While never supporting such an idea in general, one must fall short of judging such an action, IMO. It's between them and the Almighty.

Tesla succeeded because it focused on the luxury market first by building the Roadster (and then later the model S). It succeeded because they showed that electric cars can be cool and not associated with lame-looking and performing Priuses and Leafs. It succeeded because people bought billions of laptops and cell phones powered by lithium ion batteries, which finally produced the economies of scale and had the right properties that made electric vehicles viable in the first place. Subsidies came later, and Tesla would have done fine without subsidies. Its the trad automakers that are attempting electrics that need the subsidies.

QMK is open source keyboard firmware. Obviously yes, you can install a keylogger. You can't download one via a web app.
Related: I've been pretty frustrated with cursor that you can't call any APIs directly, and it all has to go through their backend. Along with this, they have essentially refused to fix bugs in their custom API key page for months, forcing you to use their "1st party" tokens.
Google wants Firefox to remain viable (or at least one other browser) so that they can avoid monopoly issues with Chrome. If they pay Firefox to keep Google as default search engine, they keep 80% of the money they’d get by having those users use Chrome, and they keep the other browser alive, but not enough to really keep up with Chrome’s feature set.

That’s the most likely bet they are making, similar to Apple/Android or Safari/Chrome. Spending a minor fraction of your revenue to avoid anti-trust probably makes sense for them.
I actually have an open source system that is somewhat close to Manus capabilities. Especially if you use the ah_anthropic (runvnc/ah_anthropic) plugin.

The part that's missing is browser/computer use. If someone wants to make a plugin for that then you will have a system with similar capabilities. Claude Sonnet 3.7 reasoning should handle the computer use well.

The order typically runs with not just milk but all the supplies. It's just the "going out of milk" trigger happens most frequently.

And yes, using different kinds/colors of cards for different kinds of milk might have been an improvement to consider. It would, however, make the system more complicated. Was it me, I'd start with a simpler design and iterate only when I saw the need.

It follows the rule of thumb: make it as simple as possible.
The study of Kakeya sets is over 100 years old — so if you think this generalized conjecture is the most important one in their subfield, you can see why somebody would describe it this way.
It was a plug-in hybrid. Which is why they later consulted with Tesla on an all-electric RAV4 in 2010.

1400 sales over 6 years is worse than pathetic. They didn't run out of materials to produce them. Good lord, this is Toyota we're talking about, they've manufactured hundreds of millions of vehicles. It was an utter flop.

It's more accurate to say the community has suffered. This is the change that lead to Facebook being one of the leading misinformation platforms, because they shovel garbage at people to drive engagement.

I have a throwaway profile with no friends that follow now pages. In the absence of anything else, Facebook has somehow decided I would most like to see anti trans nonsense, flat earth conspiracy theories and child sexual abuse material.

(They don't remove the latter if you report it, of course.)
I think the example would have been better if they had put Ghana in the place of Nigeria.

I have no idea how anyone did an analysis of the stability of African nations, and came out of it thinking Nigeria was an example to hold up as some kind of gold standard? It reinforces my belief that we Westerners, as a group, know very little about the African continent.

One of their guitarists came out of my local scene. I shared a stage with the guy a number of times. After a few years and albums, he left the band and became a teacher. It was one of the events that started taking the air out of the rockstar dream.
This is brilliant and absolutely describes my personal experience. I think the “doing the thing” can also be broken down into subcategories of “doing the thing with the thing” and “keeping the thing working to do the thing”. My hobbies are motorcycles and pinball machines. They both require significant maintenance time, to the point that alone could be a hobby.
Although not explicitly illegal, asking these kind of questions in another country would open up the risk of being sued for discrimination in case a person belonging to a minority wouldnt get the job.

I've seen the term "hagiography" 8 times in the past three days in articles of different topics, having never heard the word before. Being that English is my second language, but the one I consume the most content in (more than my first), I pay close attention to word patterns and have seen the language evolve with my own eyes.

But this one is weird. I think it's similar to the LLMs fixation with "delve", my guess is people are using AI to suggest articles.
Mice can survive, forage, reproduce. Reproduce a mammal. There is a whole load of capability not available in an LLM.

And if it stood for "Large Literal Mouse", that might be a meaningful point. The subject is artificial intelligence, and a brief glance at your newspaper, TV, or nearest window will remind you that it doesn't take intelligence to survive, forage, or reproduce.

The mouse comparison is absurd. You might as well criticize an LLM for being bad at putting out a fire, fixing a flat, or holding a door open.
> The idea is that you can bring your own account into an enterprise

The issues goes beyond authorization. I’ve had Github randomly once in a blue use my personal email address as the default when merging a work PR. If anyone asks, I advice against mixing personal and professional stuff in the same Github account (or anywhere).
>I think it's more fundamental than that. If you start saying "it thinks" in regards to an LLM, you're wrong. LLMs don't think, they pattern match fuzzily.

I'm not sure if this objection is terribly helpful. We use terms like think and want to describe processes that are clearly not involve any form of understanding. Electrons do not have motivations but they 'want' to go to a lower energy level in an atom. You can hold down the trigger for the fridge light to make it 'think' that the door has not been opened. These are uncontentious phrases that convey useful ideas.

I understand that when people are working towards producing reasoning machines the words might be working in similar spaces, but really when someone is making claims about machines having awareness, understanding, or thinking they make it quite clear about the context that they are talking about.

As to the rest of your comment, I simply disagree. If you think of a concept of an internal representation of a piece of information, then it has been shown that they do have such representations. In the Karpathy video I mentioned he talks about how researches found that models did have an internal representation of not knowing, but that the fine tuning was restricting it to providing answers. Giving it fine-tuning examples where it said "I don't know" for information that they knew the model didn't know. This generalised to provide "I don't know" for examples that were not in the training data. For the fine tuning examples to succeed in that, it requires the model to already contain the concept.

I would agree that models do not have any in-depth understanding of what lack of knowledge actually is. On the other hand I would also think that this also applies to humans, most people are not philosophers.

I think that the models can express details about words shows that they do have detailed information about what each word means semantically. In many respects because of tokenisation indexing embeddings it would perhaps be more accurate to say that they have a better understanding of the semantic information of what words mean the what the words actually are. This is why they are poor at spelling but can give you detailed information about the thing they can't spell.
Evidently it's not the same, sorry; it seems that I lept to conclusions with the two signature mismatch vulns by ahacker1 showing up so close to one another but opening the very tiny, very dark, code picture shows this seems to be xpath-centric, not nodeType as the workos link discussed

I think that sums up a lot of what he did. For example, every word in the script was carefully considered and rewritten for maximum understanding of his audience, which I didn't even notice when watching but can definitely appreciate now as I try to explain things to my own children.

看板 - 看 "look at; watch", 板 "board; plank".

That is a good point. But there is something else going on in addition. Music is a much smaller cultural force than it was in the 60s and 70s. Then it was arguably the core of all the social changes. That hasn’t been true since then. Instead there are PCs, cell phones, video games, apps. Music matters far less than it used to.

I asked my daughters what music, from their teen years, (aughts and tens) would be listened to fifty years later, similar to the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, etc. They said none of their music would be remembered, it’s all disposable.
That's interesting, because I took the sentence verbatim from a linguistics book (辞書には書かれていないことばの話、仁田義雄). It says うな重 is short for 「うな重を食べた人」. It was compared with 漱石を読んだ (-> 漱石の作品) and 及第点に荷物を持たせよう (-> 及第点を取った人)

So you're saying that this sentence makes no sense unless は is used?

They do have a private sector, and that should be lauded.

> Singapore of Africa Rwanda is a "basket case"

They spent dozens of millions of dollars on PR to make themselves the "Singapore of Africa".

I've documented this on HN previously [0][1].

Most notably, 20-25% of Rwanda's GDP remains Aid driven unlike their closest peer Uganda who now has 15% of GDP derived from ICT and an additional 10% from Finance. Yet Uganda doesn't beat their drum despite also being a personalist dictatorship. Museveni is a dick (and I went to school with some opposition members of his), but I will hand it to his administration - they concentrate on administrative capacity to a certain extent.

> Nigeria's notoriously kleptocratic bureaucratic system

They are not the most efficient, but the Nigerian Civil Service has drastically reformed over the past 15 years. Daniel "Dan" Roggers has been instrumental in this change [2], specifically by revamping the Nigerian Civil Service in the early 2010s as part of a World Bank bailout (he's now helping Lithuania and other Baltic States).

Toyota reached a settlement with Chevron and licensed the tech through 2010:

https://web.archive.org/web/20040717233048/http://www.ovonic...

Nevertheless, Toyota sold less than 1400 of the plug-in hybrid RAV4s (they were NOT all-electric) over 6 years, so they ceased the model's run.

It still holds that NiMH batteries were not practical for EVs. They had terrible range, memory problems and needed replacement after just 2 years. Anyone who used a cell phone or laptop from the 90s or early 00s understands this: batteries didn't last, that's why they were often engineered so that you could replace the batteries easily. Compared to today's electronics like iPhones and Macbooks that have internal lithium ion batteries embedded on device. This is because they work for years and years and lose very little maximum charge over that tme.
