You raise a good point that JavaScript arrays are "just" objects that let you assign to arbitrary properties through the same syntax as array indexing. I could totally imagine some sort of optimization where a compiler utilizes this to be able to map arrays directly to their underlying memory layout (presumably with a length prefix), and that would end up potentially providing access to it in the case of a mistaken assumption about omitting a bounds check.
Last I checked you could get a 20 ft container for what, 6 grand? That's 160 sq ft. And you need a foundation. And to frame inside for insulation. If you go Amish style without mains power you could finish out a kacynziski sized studio for under 20k.

> No reason for any of the US top intellectuals to stay here.

Depending on who you ask, the US is still the only country to have freedom of speech and the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government, which might be appealing for some of the top intellectuals (mostly Y Combinator founders, I think?)
I think this is a great step in the right direction. The first six years of my career were in food safety, specifically public policy, technology, and what to do when an outbreak occurs. The FDA is woefully, exceedingly, ridiculously myopic about these kinds of definitions. [T]he first statutory definition of what qualifies as an ultra-processed food will be the mother of all political fights, just like GMOs, just like artificial dyes, just like high fructose corn syrup. It's almost a losing fight because these are MASSIVE conglomerates that do not want to make anything but super cheap, super profitable, mass produced, ultra processed foods.

IF we can define it, and my experience tells me it's a pipe dream at best, it will be a tremendous step forward for better quality in food. Then we can tackle other labels slapped on EVERYTHING such as "all natural" (when it's not) "healthy" when it's not, and my favorite, "sugar free" when it is absolutely not.

IMHO, and experience, food companies will do anything to stop these kinds of measures.

Oh, but it is. I can have code that does something nice to have, needs not to be 100% correct etc. For example, I want a background for my playful webpage. Maybe a WebGL shader. It might not be exactly what I asked for, but I can have it in few minutes up and running. Or some non-critical internal tools - like scraper for lunch menus from restaurants around office. Or simple parking spot sharing app. Or any kind of prototypes which in some companies are being created all the time. There are so many use cases that are forgiving regarding correctness and are much more sensitive to development effort.
Hmm, better start preparing those Voight-Kampff tests while there is still time.

Actually both are important inputs, especially when someone has been taking hormones for a very long time. The human body changes greatly. Growing breast tissue increases the likelyhood of breast cancer, for example, compared to if you had never taken it (but about the same as if estradiol had been present during your initial puberty).
The thing is, is 20k really that significant when compared to the price of a large house?
Using spaces is not wrong. Typographically, a hair space or another thinner than usual space is usually used, but in plain text a space is often preferred. Style guides vary of opinion on this, but newspapers often space them. Without a space they end up looking like elongated hyphens joining the words on both sides. That's not their function.
It depends on how it's explained. The puzzle, depending on phrasing, is not too dissimilar from other movement puzzles like river crossing puzzles. What I'm curious about is how it was explained to the LLM and how an answer was expected in response. You can probably even find text descriptions of solutions online so if you use the right keywords it would likely give a correct solution even if your puzzle description was wonky.
Why do people who don't like using LLMs keep insisting they are useless for the rest of us? If you don't like to use them, then simply don't use them.

I use them almost daily in my job and get tremendous use out of them. I guess you could accuse me of lying, but what do I stand to gain from that?

I've also seem people claim that only people who don't know how to code or people doing super simple done a million times apps can get value out of LLMs. I don't believe that applies to my situation, but even if it did, so what? I do real work for a real company delivering real value, and the LLM delivers value to me. It's really as simple as that.
They said crucial wavelengths, plural. I took that to its natural conclusion. ;)
You are deeply misunderstanding what the KV cache referred to here is. It’s not for storing data. This is the KV cache that’s part of the model to reduce quadratic compute complexity into linear for self attention. This is not stored on SSD - it’s in VRAM (or CPU if you’re not using a GPU)
You can, but you’d need to remove the siding and drywall and reframe the window opening, see a window framing diagram here, can’t cut the king studs or you lose structural integrity: https://www.do-it-yourself-help.com/how-to-frame-a-new-windo...

That seems like a very long-winded way to say you hate on-call, which is a completely normal thing to do. That said, is on-call effectively mandatory or very popular in the US startup world? Because here, in the European established company world, I can’t really recall seeing a job posting with on-call listed.
I am neither bullish or bearish. LLM is a tool.

It's a hammer -- sometimes it works well. It summarizes the user reviews on a site... cool, not perfect, but useful.

And like every tool, it is useless for 90% of life's situations.

And I know when it's useful because I've already tried a hammer on 1000 things and have figured out what I should be using a hammer on.

How do you have the macBook pro microphone in a proper position? If I only use the macBook the camera is in a bad spot. Usually my macBook is plugged in which means my decent, external camera on my monitor is in a good location and so is my lighting. However, it means my macBook is off to the side.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my feeling is this all started with the GPUs and the fact that unlike on a CPU, you can't really step by step debug the process by which a pixel acquires its final value (and there are millions of them). The best you can do is reason about it and tweak some colors in the shader to see how the changes reflect on screen. It's still quite manageable though, since the steps involved are usually not that overwhelmingly many or complex.

But I guess it all went downhill from there with the advent of AI since the magnitude of data and the steps involved there make traditional/step by step debugging impractical. Yet somehow people still seem to 'wing it' until it works.
I've tried to use real hyphens and dashes since learning a bit about typography roughly 10–15 years ago. macOS makes it really easy with just alt and hyphen for en-dash, shift+alt and hyphen for em-dash. Definitely not an "obvious tell" of an LLM!
Did you look at what the poster said they did?
The article has a whole section about how Ladybird scores better on several web benchmarks. Even if you don't read the article it's right there under the title:

"I believe that Ladybird has more funding and better support for the web, but Servo wins in performance. Though, they're hard to compare directly!"

Sounds pretty balanced to me.
What would you change on the landing?

The idea goes as follows: We take any existing signed document, remove the variables of your choice, and create a new, identical document template. You can then use it for signature purposes.

I literally had a developer of an open source package I’m working with tell me “yeah that’s a known problem, I gave up on trying to fix it. You should just ask ChatGPT to fix it, I bet it will immediately know the answer.”

Annoying response of course. But I’d never used an LLM to debug before, so I figured I’d give it a try.

First: it regurgitated a bunch of documentation and basic debugging tips, which might have actually been helpful if I had just encountered this problem and had put no thought into debugging it yet. In reality, I had already spent hours on the problem. So not helpful

Second: I provided some further info on environment variables I thought might be the problem. It latched on to that. “Yes that’s your problem! These environment variables are (causing the problem) because (reasons that don’t make sense). Delete them and that should fix things.” I deleted them. It changed nothing.

Third: It hallucinated a magic numpy function that would solve my problem. I informed it this function did not exist, and it wrote me a flowery apology.

Clearly AI coding works great for some people, but this was purely an infuriating distraction. Not only did it not solve my problem, it wasted my time and energy, and threw tons of useless and irrelevant information at me. Bad experience.
Why do you presume that software developers are the only ones doing zoom calls?
being oncall forces the quality of software to improve.

if you want fewer incidents: ensure better QA, monitoring, smaller rollouts

usually developers start becoming more conservative after they do few oncall shifts and suddenly prioritize important reliability improvements, instead of shiny new features nobody will use
I think it's pretty clear to see how discrimination is the cause of that. Why would you volunteer information that from your point of view is more likely to cause a negative interaction than not?
>Why is it that subtracting the concept means the system can adapt and create a new rhyme instead of forgetting about the -bit rhyme,

Again, the model has the first line in context and is then asked to write the second line. It is at the start of the second line that the concept they are talking about is 'born'. The point is to demonstrate that Claude thinks about what word the 2nd line should end with and starts predicting the line based on that.

It doesn't forget about the -bit rhyme because that doesn't make any sense, the first line ends with it and you just asked it to write the 2nd line. At this point the model is still choosing what word to end the second line in (even though rabbit has been suppressed) so of course it still thinks about a word that rhymes with the end of the first line.

The 'green' but is different because this time, Anthropic isn't just suppressing one option and letting the model choose from anything else, it's directly hijacking the first choice and forcing that to be something else. Claude didn't choose green, Anthropic did. That it still predicted a sensible line is to demonstrate that this concept they just hijacked is indeed responsible for determining how that line plays out.

>More generally, they failed to rule out (or even consider!) that well-tuned-but-dumb next-token prediction explains this behavior.

They didn't rule out anything. You just didn't understand what they were saying.
> LLMs are almost perfect for this. It's generally faster than me looking up syntax/documentation, when it's wrong it's easy to tell and correct.

Exactly this.

I once had a function that would generate several .csv reports. I wanted these reports to then be uploaded to s3://my_bucket/reports/{timestamp}/.csv

I asked ChatGPT "Write a function that moves all .csv files in the current directory to and old_reports directory, calls a create_reports function, then uploads all the csv files in the current directory to s3://my_bucket/reports/{timestamp}/.csv with the timestamp in YYYY-MM-DD format""

And it created the code perfectly. I knew what the correct code would look like, I just couldn't be fucked to look up the exact calls to boto3, whether moving files was os.move or os.rename or something from shutil, and the exact way to format a datetime object.

It created the code far faster that I would have.

Like, I certainly wouldn't use it to write a whole app, or even a whole class, but individual blocks like this, it's great.
You’re right. And they didn’t authorize “bombing a civilian apartment building because a target’s girlfriend lived there,” they bombed a building the target was believed to be in. Like, yes, if we start WWIII over Greenland or Canada or whatever, it should be understood that you might die because you were next to where someone important might have been.

(It is notable that nobody asked about collateral damage.)

this sounds like you’re thinking KV as in key-value like redis or s3. This paper is about KV cache as in LLM which is for reducing the computational complexity for self-attention. Has nothing to do with what you wrote unless I misunderstood what your wrote (I’m confused what upstream would mean here - the contents of the KV cache are specific to the context provided to the LLM / what the LLM is generating in response).
This paper may be interesting to you. It touches on several of the topics you mentioned:

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.abm6597
“Congress shall have Power … To declare War … .” U.S. Const. art. I, § 8.

According to James Madison, in the Federal Convention of 1787, the phrase “make war” was changed to “declare war” in order to leave to the Executive Branch the power to repel sudden attacks but not to commence war without the explicit approval of the Legislative Branch. See The Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 reported by James Madison: August 17, available at The Avalon Project (Yale Law School), https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_817.asp.

The last time Congress declared war was in 1942, against certain Axis powers. Since then, every President has engaged in offensive hostilities without a declaration.

Query whether such actions (including the one in the linked webpage — Trump’s attack in Yemen, apparently against a civilian building) are legal under United States constitutional law, let alone international law.

Engineering started out as just some dudes who built things from gut feeling. After a whole lot of people died from poorly built things, they decided to figure out how to know ahead of time if it would kill people or not. They had to use math and science to figure that part out.

Funny enough that happened with software too. People just build shit without any method to prove that it will not fall down / crash. They throw some code together, poke at it until it does something they wanted, and call that "stable". There is no science involved. There's some mathy bits called "computer science" / "software algorithms", but most software is not a math problem.

Software engineering should really be called "Software Craftsmanship". We haven't achieved real engineering with software yet.

For "non-exempt" employees, that's paid "stand-by time" California.[1] Also see this case involving on-call coroners.[2]

The way this works in most unionized jobs is that there's a stand-by rate paid for on-call hours, plus a minimum number of hours at full or overtime pay, usually four, when someone is called to duty. This is useful to management - if the call frequency is too high, it becomes cheaper to hire an additional person.

100% agree. The only way to enact any meaningful change is to put the power back in the hands of the people, especially given the US's insane, borderline anti-democratic, 2 party political system. Both sides are effectively completely captured by the wealthy elites and entirely beholden to their corporate / wealthy donors, lobbyists and PACs.

Its why neither the Democrats nor Republicans really ever make any significant, meaningful changes that would materially improve the lives of working class people in big ways.

Neither party really represents the working class, and they'll never do anything to restrict the power or reduce the wealth of the rich folks they actually work for, so until corporate (Wealthy elite) money is purged from politics, it's just going to be more of the same for the foreseeable future.

Ok yeah, I'd consider moving if I could sell my house at $100k above market. But that's not how it works. Realistically, the whole market moves together, so I'd just end up paying $100k extra wherever I move into. It's not real.

Whether I get mugged while I'm walking home from the grocery store... that's real, and it's a function of whether there's affordable housing available.

Also, these are not independent variables. My house would be worth more if it were not in an area where you get mugged on the way home from the grocery store.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to think — did you share this just to show handmade food, or is it also healthy food?

1 April seemed a good start, "Oven Fried Chicken Leg", but then I searched for what it meant. It's chicken in breadcrumbs rolled in oil! Are the potatoes and cucumber slices the vegetables that accompany it?

The following day has "Orange Chicken", so chicken covered in a sugary sauce.

"Pork Carnitas Tacos" sounds good. But then "Churro"?!

"Philly Flatbread" — essentially pizza, which is an option every day anyway.

Followed by "Chicken Nachos with cheese sauce" (10 April), "Popcorn Chicken Bowl" (22nd), etc.

Full credit to them if they're preparing it all from scratch, and most of it I'd be pleased to try if I visit the USA, but it's a lot of fried or high-fat food to be serving every day at school.

Here's the menu for many schools in Copenhagen: https://eat.kk.dk/ugens-menu (or https://eat-kk-dk.translate.goog/ugens-menu?_x_tr_sl=da&_x_t... )

The obvious difference is there's no daily pizza/hot dogs/burger options, but looking at each week I suspect they're limited to one fried dish per week or two fried sides.

It seems the food is partially prepared in a large kitchen, and then sent to the schools for "final preparation" and serving.

("Pork and roe deer meatloaf", "pheasant stew with bacon", "sushi bowl with baked salmon", they have better food than my work canteen.)
