41,811,700 | comment | aithrowawaycomm | 2024-10-11T18:01:19 | null | In particular the fact that humans sometimes <i>don't</i> do this, taking the bait with extraneous distractions, is almost always a fairly shallow psychological thing rather than an actual cognitive deficit, e.g. OP hypothetically assuming the question had a typo and trying to read the examiner's mind. In education the gotchas really can be unfair if the (human) student has been conditioned to bark answers but the teacher changes things drastically on an exam. I don't think that's an accurate characterization of this study; even if it was that would be a problem with shallow LLM training, not mean-spirited evaluation. But I suspect that "barking answers according to surface characteristics" is as far as transformers can go. It certainly is possible that we just need to train transformers better... but there have been some theoretical results suggesting otherwise. [E.g. transformer LLMs + chain-of-thought is pretty good at O(n) problems but struggles with O(n^2), even if the O(n^2) task is an obvious combination of two O(n) tasks it is able to do.]<p>That leads to a serious annoyance I have with discussing LLMs - humans' capacity for boredom / cynicism / distraction / laziness being used to excuse away what seems to be deep-rooted limitations in LLMs. It simultaneously misunderstands what a human is and what a machine is. ("Sometimes humans also refuse to work" would be a bad excuse from an auto dealer.) | null | null | 41,811,554 | 41,808,683 | null | null | null | null |

41,811,708 | comment | s1artibartfast | 2024-10-11T18:01:45 | null | Richard Reeves (mentioned in this article), had what I thought was an informative discussion of exactly this topic on EconTalk recently.<p>They discuss the pipeline problem and shifting behavioral expectations that no longer favor boys in education. In short, one of the major theories proposed is that education has grown to place much more emphasis on conscientiousness, relative to aptitude or performance. For whatever reason, girls and women outperform men in conscientiousness in pretty much every culture. This mirrors my observation of changes in education. When I went to a top high school and college, and the advanced coursework was characterized by a focus on performance over conscientiousness. Testing would determine 90% of the grade, and homework was largely an optional tool to prepare.<p>This contrasts with what I see from young family members, where school seems to be a test of endurance and compliance. They routinely have >4 hours of homework and busywork day.<p>The podcast also seaways into the shifting role of adult men and masculinity in US culture, particularly as it relates to the atomization of our communities and loss of third places.<p>Here is the podcast if anyone is interested:<p>The Problems of Boys and Men in Today's America (with Richard Reeves)<p><a href="https://www.econtalk.org/the-problems-of-boys-and-men-in-todays-america-with-richard-reeves/" rel="nofollow">https://www.econtalk.org/the-problems-of-boys-and-men-in-tod...</a> | null | null | 41,811,050 | 41,811,050 | null | null | null | null |

41,811,710 | comment | forrestp | 2024-10-11T18:01:58 | null | It's expensive in this field to verify other people's work. There are a few other papers in the last 3 years that have the same high-level idea but call the anchor tokens something different -- Gist tokens being the only one I personally remember, but you can follow the citation chains back.<p>Those other papers sounded like a godsend but have deficits that you only find out about if you try to use them against non-cherry-picked use-cases. I think they are on average getting better though with time.<p>They call out their limitations in the bottom of the paper. For these kinds of models, it would be nice to see them exploiting & measuring the weaknesses of compressive memory -> producing exact outputs. This would be things retrieving multiple things out of context exactly, arithmetic, or copy-pasting high-entropy bits (e.g. where a basic n-gram model can't bias you out of the blurry pieces).<p>The other side of it is there is often some difficulty in reproducing training for some of these architectures -- the training can be highly unstable and both difficult + expensive to dial-in on a real-world model. We see their best training run, not their 500 runs where they changed hyperparameters b/c the loss kept exploding randomly (compare this to text-only llama-esque architectures where they are wildly stable at training time / predictable / easy to invest into and hyperparams are easy to find from prior art).<p>I think we are still many papers away from something ready-for-prod on this concept, but I am personally optimistic. | null | null | 41,811,522 | 41,810,150 | null | null | null | null |

41,811,712 | comment | danudey | 2024-10-11T18:02:29 | null | > It seems needlessly expensive to me to run empty buses.<p>But there's the counterpoint: if you increase service on a route that isn't full already, then you<p>1. Create more frequent, more reliable transit for people<p>2. Run more buses emptier than you were before<p>But if you <i>don't</i> increase service, then you have people complaining that service isn't frequent enough or reliable enough for them to use, regardless of the cost.<p>In my old college town, I had a job that was on the other side of the city - not a huge distance, as it was a small town, and I'd often walk home from work. Still, I looked at my public transit options one day, and found that my only two choices were to arrive at work two hours early or four hours late. No amount of fare cutting would induce me to take the bus to work. The area I was traveling to was more of an office park type of area, so 90% of commuting wanted to arrive by 8-9 PM and leave by 4-5 PM and outside of those times there was almost no demand, so it makes perfect sense, but there are always examples like that that people will base their experience off of.<p>(Side note: I lived in that town for several years, was a broke college student/broke minimum wage employee the entire time, and never once took the bus. In fact, I don't think I remember even seeing one.)<p>Cutting fares entirely will help get more people onto transit, but that also leads to political pushback as people who drive instead of taking transit complain that non-drivers are getting subsidized! Ignoring the fact that fewer cars, trucks, and taxis on the road means a better driving experience for them. | null | null | 41,801,963 | 41,797,719 | null | null | null | null |

41,811,718 | comment | exoverito | 2024-10-11T18:03:08 | null | The CIA was actively involved in the Maidan revolution, which sought to pull Ukraine out of Russia's sphere of influence and into the EU / NATO. Obviously this is antagonistic towards Russia, especially when they have so few natural barriers to defend against invasion of their land. Look at how quickly the Wagner group reached Moscow after defecting from the Ukrainian front.<p>If the shoe were on the other foot, and China had supported a revolution in Mexico and was setting up military bases, the American government would not take it lightly.

41,811,749 | comment | kragen | 2024-10-11T18:05:31 | null | I don't think it's yet complete enough to compile itself; though I haven't looked at the assembler code, I'm pretty sure it requires bitwise operations the compiler can't compile yet. Also, the compiler itself requires things like null, symbolp, eq, and atom, which it also doesn't implement yet. Without those I'm not sure that it's fair to describe its input language as Lisp, though it does support car and cdr.<p>But it's still super cool. A really great thing about Lisp for purposes like this is that you don't get hung up on syntax and parsing, which is the most salient part of writing a compiler but not the most important. | null | null | 41,808,696 | 41,808,696 | null | null | null | null |

41,811,754 | comment | cschneid | 2024-10-11T18:06:08 | null | In 2021 I lost a good chunk of weight the old fashioned way. From 250ish to 215. I did it with "good old fashioned working out and not eating more". It was a miserable, white-knuckle experience. I was eating healthy food, enough calories (moderate but sane deficit), but the only thing I thought about at all moments was getting to the next meal. What snack is low enough calories to have to make it. It was miserable. As soon as I let up a bit, everything unraveled and I found myself back in the 250s by the start of this year.<p>Now I'm on Tirzepatide (Zepbound), and I'm back to 235ish, and trending lower. I still work on eating healthy, but now I'm not just HUNGRY at all moments. My life continues, and I only have to make individual healthy choices at meal times, and grocery times, rather than a constant struggle at all waking moments. It's seriously a big difference. | null | null | 41,811,617 | 41,811,263 | null | [

There is perhaps <i>some</i> evidence of those, but nothing conclusive, so now people are talking about cracking open rocks to find the fossils of bacteria...<p>This all has an uncanny resemblance to the "god of the gaps" phenomenon.

41,811,766 | comment | card_zero | 2024-10-11T18:07:31 | null | The word has potential to mean "without rule", following its etymology. Once in a while, especially in art criticism, it can be unambiguously used that way. If a review of <i>Dude, Where's My Car</i> calls it an anarchic comedy, that doesn't mean it attacks hierarchies. It just means it defies established rules, such as "a successful movie must be any good". But historically, early anarchists were class-struggle types (maybe Irish or Spanish?) with those round cartoon bombs with the lit fuse sticking out, so it's always going to carry both meanings.<p>I notice this raises the question of the similarities or differences between hierarchies (of people, not html tags or whatever) and rulership. Certainly management, or government, or the church (going etymological again), has a hierarchy of higher-up hierophants issuing commands to lower-down losers, and it's all full of stinking rules, and there's some connection. And, say, HN, has a hierarchy which consists of Dang, and us, and below us, noobs, and that's about enforcing the rules, which I have to admit might <i>not</i> stink in this particular case. But sometimes there can be a hierarchy without a connection to rules. For instance, how fancy is your hairstyle? Do you shave it off as irrelevant, or just let it grow like a hippie, or cultivate dreadlocks, or have a bowl cut, or trim it with clippers, craft it with scissors, or perhaps opt for dye, a perm, a beehive, or Roman braids? In the hair hierarchy there are people, the owners of the hair, but no chain of command or enforced rules. Capitalism, seen as simply <i>people having money,</i> has potential, perhaps, to be as benign as people having hair. | null | null | 41,809,687 | 41,797,719 | null | [

41,811,790 | comment | hombre_fatal | 2024-10-11T18:10:47 | null | Sure. People say the same thing about ADHD.<p>The question is how a trait fares in the modern world.<p>Maybe a trait was useful to an ancestor but not to you today trying to navigate a calorie rich world of convenience. Just like a trait useful to a nomadic hunter might work against you when you're expected to sit at a desk job if you want to make the money necessary to fulfill your ambitions.<p>It may very well be the case that we end up medicating away traits that were useful at some point in our lineage but not today. I just don't see how it matters much beyond the thought exercise. | null | null | 41,811,723 | 41,811,263 | null | [

41,811,792 | comment | aftbit | 2024-10-11T18:11:00 | null | Yes, you got it 100%. I agree, it is not idiomatic, but was intended to call back the "death before dishonor" trope that your sibling commenter mentioned. I intended "dishonor" to cover a number of cases short of my death where I might be unable to continue to care for my obligations for a long period of time. For example, imprisoned, deplatformed, critically injured in a coma, lost in a serious mental health crisis, etc. In some ways, handling that is a harder challenge than handling death, as there are fewer well-worn paths to follow. | null | null | 41,811,271 | 41,809,879 | null | null | null | null |
