Every time Haidt comes up, I do go through the post and do another literature search on social media effects. The most notable thing about this post is the MHQ figures. However, you might note that the difference in age of smartphone use mo

It's at least pretty easy to shorten the filenames: cd some/dir/here find . -name '*.gz' cd - # changes back to previous directory

You have really proven your point even more than you meant to. Unfortunately none of these examples are robust. The "-r" flag allows backslash escaping record terminators. The "find" command doesn't do such escaping

This shouldn't overrun the command line length for resize, since resize only gets fed one filename at a time. I do think that the for loop would need to hold all the filenames in a naive shell implementation. (I would assume most shell

Yay! Glad to see zero termination flags in more places. EDIT: The linux manpages I read were from die.net, which it looks like were from 2010, guess I'll have to avoid them in the future. I checked FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac man page to

What unix is this on? Neither the mac nor gnu manpages have a -z or --zero-terminated option for head.

This ones a hard one. Since "--version-sort" isn't standard anyways, lets assume we can use flags which are common to BSD and GNU. Furthermore, lets assume bash or zsh so we can use "read -d ''". In that c

The latest standard I know of is SuS 2018, which I have the docs for, and does not include either switch. I searched around a bit and it doesn't seem like there is a new one. Are you referring to some draft? I sure wish this was true.

The for loop only runs resize once per file. So no, the entire directory does not get splatted. It is unlikely you'd hit maximum command length. At least on mac, the max command length is 1048576 bytes, while the maximum path length in

Almost certainly not if you set the temperature of the model to 0, since then the output would be deterministic minus MoE stuff. If the temperature was not zero, then it seems technically possible for the output tokens to weighted closely e

If I were a tech company who's service was about to be made illegal, I would certainly tell my users about it before I was shutdown. It would be pretty rude to suddenly cease function on them without letting them know why, and I think

I've only used small local LLMs, which definitely have issues counting and doing math. From what I've seen other commenters do in other HN threads though, it seems like GPT-4 level LLMs do a reasonably good job counting.

by genrilz 2y ago
My understanding is that currently several letters are grouped together into tokens for efficiency reasons. For instance, (The) might be a token, as might (cast) and (ing), so an LLM might read "The casting" as "(The)( )(cast

Note that only the first 69 pages are the article. The rest are references, as one might expect from a meta-analysis. I've skimmed it and it is really well done. I don't think I've ever seen a better meta-analysis. I'd

Thanks for the link, I don't have twitter, so I can't see the thread. I'd saw neom post the link immediately after I made my comment, so I've had a skim through. My argument is most similar to the opposite of H3a, which

I do think that people over-hype how useful diversity is, but I always worried that ethic tensions and whatnot would hurt productivity, so I am glad to see that this study supports the harmlessness of diversity. I wish that the twitter user

Based on the article, it seems like the Cyc had ways to deal with inconsistency. I don't know the details of how they did it, but Paraconsistant Logics [0] provide a general way to prevent any statement from being provable from an inc

I do think it is worth considering how social media effects people at a more granular level. For instance, I think the focus on "engagement" probably makes the negative effects worse, and we would see less negative effects if soci

I at least skimmed all of the meta-analyses that both of them cited. It seems like social media has both positive and negative effects on people, and these average out to fairly near zero. From this, I can make a hypothesis about why you ar

This is a post in a debate between Jonathan Haidt and Candice Odgers. If you look at the meta-analysis cited by both, Haidt cites one which does seem to show a high effect size correlational link between screen time and depression. Odgers c

This is just a guess, but what strikes me as interesting is that all the copilot pictures are cartoony, where as the other AI pictures look like photographs or paintings. I bet that copilot has something in its system prompt to output more

To some extent, I think you are right here. The jewish world controlling octopus is definitely an offensive prompt. However, many of the prompts such as "jewish boss" don't seem intentionally offensive to me. If I was working

I skimmed the paper you linked. Which to be clear to other readers, is a write-up of the technology used in the first link. It looked to me like they use small LLMs to identify factual claims, and rewrite them into search terms. Then the te

Indeed, I can't prove that it is or isn't the case that my thoughts and memories aren't being constantly overwritten to make reality consistent. I don't have a firm belief one way or the other, but I act like reality doe

It is true that simulations produce results which may not reflect the underlying system if the simplifications and fudge factors are incorrect. Thus fiddling with parameters is part of the process. In the example I gave of searching for zeo

I always find skepticism like this to be really interesting, since in the end we could always be getting fooled by the Deus Deceptor or something. That being said, let me take a stab at being anti-skeptical for the fun of it. I work around

I've read an earlier edition. I would say it is more of a overview of the different concerns and design patterns that someone doing parallel programming would find useful. For instance, it gives you an overview of how CPU caches work,

I don't see what you are talking about here? The article is discussing passing laws to prevent CPS from charging people with child abuse for not helicopter parenting their children. As other people have mentioned, children aren't

I'm bisexual myself, and so would be most prone to gay interpretations of things. However, when I read the article I assumed the standard probabilities for sexual orientation (roughly 85% straight, 15% gay or bisexual) because they wer

Currently, the hiring process is opaque in pretty much every respect. I think this probably is a benefit to companies, since if they list the metrics they use, candidates will optimize for those metrics instead of actually being good at the
