Newton’s third law. To get anywhere, you have to leave something behind (bagholders).

I think I couple years ago, I asked it to write me a nom parser for some system metrics I wanted to consume, and it one shot it. Thought “oh”. And here we are.

The whole concept just didn't have any legs.

Seems unnecessary. We can simply ask the LLMs to do it after, of course, imploring them to not make any mistakes.

Yeah. We had a brief window where everything resolved and worked and now we're running into really mysterious flakey networking issues where pods in our EKS clusters timeout talking to the k8s API.

Like previous explosions, it is likely this one was also caused by a sniper. Possibly an Iranian one, given current geopolitical tensions.

Agreed. Plus, these days, i can’t get any work done without my Brain Force Plus

Groundwater, and swamp water, the post explains.

According to the blog of the man who runs it, it was from 2002-2005: https://misterirvine.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/explain-entran...

For this I self-host vaultwarden (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden), an implementation of the bitwarden server, on my raspberry pi at home (and back up the DB frequently). It works well enough for me, and doesn't have my stuff stored in a single company's cloud.

I believe Welsh was one of the main inspirations behinds his elvish conlang Sindarin.

No. If I have 100 dollars, I might have gotten those from betting on old person fight ring in a care home - a net utility negative, or I might have gotten it from teaching disadvantaged teenagers PHP - a net utility positive.

If you have 100 UC, the only way those credits could have been minted is through 100 hours of 1 million simulated fruit flies having the time of their life.

There's lots of very exciting work going on around the fully mapped fruit fly connectome. For example, I'm a CTO of a stealth startup that aims to do for utilitarianism what carbon credits did for environmentalism. We are selling 'utility credits' which translates directly into us simulating trillions and trillions of fruit fly brains in a state of constant orgasmic bliss, which you can then buy to offset any actions your company has undertaken that damage global happiness or well-being. We've seen a lot of interest from some pretty large industry players.

I don't remember the ability to view any individual tweet being locked behind a login screen before - timeline scrolling yes, but not this. This is a new approach.

We can do lots of things in the abstract. Concentrations of power, wealth and the political trends of the last 20 or so years make me less optimistic.

Because, barring a grand upheaval in global economic systems, most people generally need to sell their labour in order to earn a 'wage' which they spend on food, clothing, rent, etc.

I think its easy to guess what the commenter is obliquely referring to.

Why?

I'm guessing that Nix's 2% is nearly entirely driven by pull requests to the NixOS/nixpkgs repository, which has 4,053 open PRs and 190,167 closed ones at time of writing.

Perhaps. Less fun, though.

Maybe when an LLM finally automates my career out of existence, I can make a comfortable living as a kind of ocular bandit, harvesting people's eyeballs for sweet, sweet, Worldcoin™

Thank you!

I mean, its probably a component (or an approximation of a component) of what we do, at some level. Christ knows I've felt like a stochastic parrot when I'm zoning out 3 hours into a meeting and someone asks me a question out of the blue. I probably have a smaller context window at those points than GPT3 does...

Do you have any resources you'd recommend to form a better understanding of how NNs tick? I'd like to get a better intuitive grasp on whats going on - I've mostly just been responding to that with "Well, if stochastic parrotism can do all this..."

Yeah, I once managed to foolishly induce this while taking too much aspirin over a too long period to deal with tooth pain. I'll never forget the sensation: out of nowhere it sounded like someone was crinkling paper inside my head for about a second, and then quite loud and constant tinnitus with regular sounds becoming muffled. Was quite frightening.

It thankfully went away after a day or so after I (immediately) stopped and I don't seem to have suffered any permanent damage that I know of, but it taught me to not fuck around with NSAIDs.

I'm really struggling to think of what "Alep" even refers to that would trigger this. Surely not Aleppo, right?

I've had experience lately of getting GPT4 to output some code, I notice there's a bug, I point out the bug (not even 'it's at this line with this variable', but just that it exists) and, yes, it does fix successfully fix it. So, yes, I think that's likely.

It is, though now how you'd expect. OpenAI have a tool that lets you see how text is tokenized: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

This only has GPT3 for now, but I imagine results are similar. "xxxxxxxxxEGGxxxxxxxxxx" gets tokenized as [xxxxxxxx][x][EG][G][xxxxxxxx][xx], so i could see how it could 'see' the secret word.

It's fairly trivial to define. You know all those things that you don't like? The bad things, that all the stupid people do without thinking, unlike you? That's post-modernist neo-marxist ideology.

This makes a lot of economic sense, despite the howling from the socialist mob. 14 year olds' natural agility and nimbleness are assets in meat packing and construction, where they are able to retrieve stray pieces of meat or lost tools that have fallen in or between the large machinery.
