The authors could have provided concrete definitions of successful outcomes instead of asking it to resolve overloaded and sometimes contradictory terms into the "right outcome." Getting an LLM to display bias is a singularly unimpressive outcome.

I also felt the definition of lethargic was kind of silly, especially since I had already gotten lethargy as a word in tier 1.

> Most things we historically do with computing are not well approximated by extruding synthetic text.

I don't understand this point. I feel like almost everything associated with computing is extruding synthetic text.

Does Reddit require sms verification? The last time I made an account it didn't even require a valid email (but you got the "validated email" badge if you did it)

I think it's uncharitable to jump to the conclusion that just because there was a config-based outage they don't do phased config rollouts. And even more uncharitable to compare them to crowdstrike.

what do you use instead and what does it give you that you can't get from datadog? as someone who's been locked into datadog for the past few years i'm wondering what i've been missing.

It's frustrating that their entire analysis is based on the claim that cheating occurs in maybe 1 out of 10,000 games; they got this from a quote in an interview with the deputy president of the World Chess Federation after he had been beaten in a charity match by someone who admitted cheating. To their credit they also ran the analysis assuming cheating is 1/500 and the odds rose to 7%. I suppose it makes sense that they are merely rebutting the accusations based on the same methodology but it's still frustrating.

> the father of the child narrator’s son

this was confusing but I think it's supposed to just be "father of the child narrator." Also kind of weird they (the original parent link, it is in the bbc article) didn't name the documentary (maybe it's common knowledge to their audience?).

people are starting to realize they don't have any significant technical advantages over other AI companies. so all they have left is hype or trying to build a boring enterprise business where they sell a bunch of AI services to other large companies, and their lack of experience in that area is showing.

Constantly updating geyser to keep it up to date with the most recent bedrock versions is quite a pain. Maybe paper has tools to automate these updates (I use fabric) but it seems unlikely.

The Supreme Court ruled that apple must allow users to purchase from vendor websites. Apple takes a 27% cut instead of 30%

Almost every so-called bloated editor has a vim plugin (I guess that's an upside of their bloat): vscode, intellij and friends, even vimium for the browser. And although I wouldn't argue that vim (or, to be precise a subset of vim functionality in editor plugins) makes me more productive I would argue that vimium does.

does this article not qualify as "meta discussion of how to game them"?

Why not? Give a bunch of people actual placebos, half are told it won't work, half are told it will, see what happens?

I really doubt you could buy pseudoephedrine via taskrabbit, but then again I've never tried it.
