how will you afford that baby, or picnic, or trip to the ocean?

I basically have the opposite reaction from my first gen immigrant social circle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also, unless they're ignoring/ignorant of the checks & balances falling apart, I'm not sure this bolsters OPs implied point.

Are you suggesting that immigrants are to blame for electing the current administration that's robbing them blind?

my first guess would be a decent chunk of things bot operators want to scrape are in the US. might as well have your bot nearer to the source.

great, thanks for the details! really helpful :)

could you talk more about the hoops? i’m getting close to the point i’d like to release something and it’d be my first time.

can we not call a spade a spade anymore? what part of cruelly cancelling green card applications fits with “give me your tired, your poor?”

RIP MailChimp probably.

Out of touch exec commencement speeches will continue until morale improves.

The onus is on you to prove or at least convincingly argue that the results are unlikely to generalize across incremental model releases. In my personal experience, the overly affirming nature seems to have held since GPT-3. What makes you think a newer, larger model would not exhibit this behavior? Beyond "they're more capable"? I'd argue that being more capable doesn't mean less sycophantic.

It's certainly possible some of the new advances (chain-of-thought, some kind of agentic architecture) could lessen or remove this effect. But that's not what the paper was studying! And if you feel strongly about it, you could try to further the discussion with results instead of handwavingly dismissing others' work.

Any paper like this would easily take a year or more to write and go through the submission/review/rebuttal/revision/acceptance process. I don't understand why the models being a year or two old now is worth noting as though it's a clear weakness? What should they do, publish sub-standard results more quickly?

Common Lisp in particular is multi-paradigm. You can write a ton of code and never use recursion once. I doubt bridging this "gap" was in any way difficult.

ah yup:

> It comes on the heels of a Delaware court decision clearing Meta’s insurers of responsibility for damages incurred from “several thousand lawsuits regarding the harm its platforms allegedly cause children” — a ruling that could leave it and other tech titans on the hook for untold future millions.

this has to be the first of many right? fingers crossed this leads to some meaningful change.

I too am in "Sloath Pose"

maybe it's just from being covered in Faygo?

yeah, i'm referring to product innovations, but i should've made that explicit.

does this knob to make number go up ever _not_ work?

wish there were an option to disable the annoying startup messages with emojis when using the library.

also just another clear ripoff. they copy, they acquire, but they cannot seem to innovate.

should probably just ban gambling for children but seems like a good first step.

it came up in the SBCL mailing list as well, and its author has been commenting there as well. seems like it has some legs! would be a very nice feature to have.

isn’t the first. won’t be the last. and i’m afraid it’ll be very difficult to reverse the course here long-term :/

huh more people are cancelling than I expected then!

sure, when i can pay my mortgage in tokens.

they really should add "do NOT cause an outage under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES" to their prompts

oftentimes splitting the hunks with `s` is enough.

if you’re Euler you get a pass

not sure i'd lump Iran in with Venezuela here. also far too early for either to say if either will lead to a "win" whatever that means.
