I half-consciously avoided touching the fingerprint (on mobile, obvy) lol. I did think it was annoying

Nothing that person said was about removing ads.

oh man I somehow never realized I could just use that square bracket syntax. must update everything

> If this view takes hold, it will shake the foundations of our society, rupturing our existing political and ethical frameworks, and fundamentally changing what it means to be human.

When we peer into previously unseen areas of existence, new knowledge may come to light, which necessarily causes such a rupture. It is not our responsibility to maintain the status quo because the alternative is frightening. It is our responsibility to confront ourselves, ask why the new knowledge and the alternative political/ethical frameworks may be so frightening, ask how we might change and grow so that it isn’t so frightening, and be open to the possibility of our own ignorance.

The type annotation gymnastics you sometimes have to do when reducing to an object in TypeScript are annoying.

allTasks.reduce((acc, item) => { acc[item.label] = t => t.item.label === item.label; return acc; }, {} as Record<string, (t: typeof tasks[number]) => boolean>)

Can you chill Uncle John? It’s ok to have feelings, you know. And this post was literally about how the author is figuring out how to go forward, in their own way.

If any aspiring Japanese learners read this, forget this article. Just start learning hiragana/katakana from the get-go. You’re going to have to eventually, assuming you want read anything (and anything worth reading certainly won’t be written in romaji). But beyond that, you want to start breaking down your instinctual pronunciations and biases that appear when reading letters you know, so that you can more accurately and efficiently learn the correct pronunciations.

If there was documented, provable harm done to the residents from the lead poisoning (not saying there isn’t, I just don’t know), they could surely win a civil case claiming negligence by the city and/or water treatment facilities/etc… There may also be laws or regulations in Jackson or Mississippi that were broken. Perhaps there aren’t, but there maybe should be. Which are all points brought up by Engelhardt:

> The Constitution does not provide redress for every governmental wrongdoing. Rather, the remedy for Plaintiffs’ injuries lies in pursuing tort claims, electing representatives who will better manage the public-water system, and petitioning their representatives for other remedies. And Plaintiffs have not been left to go at it alone. The State of Mississippi and federal government have worked for years, and continue today, to improve the City of Jackson’s drinking water quality through regulations, investigations, and compliance plans. These already-established-and-undertaken avenues are the proper course for rectifying the lead contamination. We will not expand the Fourteenth Amendment to create novel theories of constitutional liability.

And now people who don’t take the time to actually read, or just can’t understand, are gonna be yelling and screaming about how the courts are corrupt, etc… (some courts may very well be corrupt! But this would not be a good example why).

This is way outside my expertise so might be a dumb question, but how does the target model verify candidate tokens? Naively, I would assume it must perform its normal auto regressive decoding to know what the “correct” token is in order to have something to compare the candidate token with. But obviously that would defeat the purpose of speculative decoding so there must be some other way.

Also, what is the difference between “target model” and “target-model,” if any? I feel like half the instances of that phrase included the hyphen and half didn’t.

Why did you use so many words? You could’ve made the same point with at most half the amount of sentences.

The point is that radio, then television, then internet, then smartphones, then AI, each one of which is as impactful on the world as the examples you gave, emerged within a couple hundred years ago years, rather than a couple thousand (and the last few within a couple decades).

Not quite verbose but they tend to repeat the same few ideas multiple times with varied wording/imagery. You keep scrolling because you think you’re gonna see something new and by the end you’ve realized you just read the same thing 4 times over.

ahh I love that! YouTube compression not doing it justice

That “overbearing assumption” is made by practically every other X-media editing app, for good reason — you can save your work and continue/revert stuff later. If all you’ve ever used is MS paint then I guess it’s an unexpected thing, but any other image/video editing app, digital audio workstation, 3D modeling software, etc… work exactly the same way. It would be unexpected to me if “save as” exported a flat file.

There is no very best token to choose at each decision point. It is context dependent and subjective.

I was a straight A student all through high school; first year of college I got Bs and Cs, couple As, and failed one class. Next three years I got my shit together and was back to straight As, including retaking the class I failed. I would have appreciated this lol

Gosh, think what the backlash will be by the time the Meta EyeBall is released, à la Zuck’s android model, complete with the real time naked filter.

That my friend is the reason everybody hates them

I personally prefer good old situational awareness

Both you and the person you replied to are making claims about the future. Neither of them are true.

How many more kids do we think will prank call 911 now, assuming they’re just going to connect to an AI, saying stupid shit to it, etc…

we gonna go full Pandora’s Star where the AI discover laws of physics that are impossible for humans to understand and create the wormholes

> And because Bonsai is written in OCaml, it becomes possible to use the same language and types on both the backend and frontend.

Finally! I was waiting for this to become possible!

I’d be very surprised if any long time contributor to gcc would want to start pushing AI generated code. But even if that is the case, this is one of the largest and most complex pieces of software on the planet, and is used to produce the binaries of countless other pieces of software. I think this policy makes sense because of that. We want to make sure no inadvertent behavior is introduced (whatever that might be, from bugs to ~puts conspiracy theory hat on~ some kind of backdoor undetectable by humans inserted into every compiled binary allowing the authoring AI system (or the government behind it) remote access to every machine it runs on). Okay maybe that’s a little crazy

goddamn people it’s a joke

Ok the phrasing here, it’s, it’s just -

> However, compared to more specialized approaches for representation learning they produce less disentangled representations, which puts a ceiling on their usefulness for tasks that require world understanding.

Only an LLM would use a less disentangled representation of the concept “more entangled” when trying to explain to people in the real world why less disentangled representations are not as useful for modeling the real world.

It’s not even about “slipping into the wrong hands”… as we can see the super machine capabilities are developing hands of their own

Both can be true but it’s unclear if both are true, and it also depends on what one considers “dumb”

Even if this was simpler and better than markdown, I’d purposefully avoid using it because I hate the name so much. A good rule of thumb I just though of: Do not introduce seafood into your branding if you are not a seafood vendor.
