> All of the atomic clocks continued ticking through the power outage last week thanks to their battery backup systems, according to NIST supervisory research physicist Jeff Sherman. What failed was the connection between some of the clocks and NIST's measurement and distribution systems, he said.

As someone who still might have a '2023 take on LLMs', even though I use them often at work, where would you recommend I look to learn more about what a '2025 LLM' is, and how they operate differently?

Papers on mechanistic interpratability and representation engineering, e.g. from Anthropic would be a good start.

Don't bother. This bubble will pop in two years, you don't want to look back on your old comments in shame in three.

Isolated from ads sold by the social media companies lol


What about the kids who are bullied on social media?


One of the good things about the Internet is that you can leave such sites and find people who don't do that.

Most kids don't really have such a choice when it comes to school or their family.


Online abuse works the exact same way. Most kids don’t choose to be abused online either.


Yes. What I'm saying is that people can choose to leave online spaces that are abusive, as opposed to abuse at school or home, which are much harder (usually impossible) for children to escape.


They should simply stop using social media. Why ban everyone else?


They don't mind maiming children.


She died.

I think there are also rules against attacking combatants in civilian contexts, like their homes.


For what it's worth, I think you and trollbridge are actually in agreement. Re-read their comment, to me it doesn't imply what you think it does.


I would be in favour of (for example) someone who is attempting to “reside” on a bus being referred to a social worker that then sees to it the person ends up referred to an appropriate shelter.


We are not. I don’t believe homeless people are “using the bus as a hotel” because I actually ride buses unlike the commenter who is afraid and probably has never volunteered or talked to someone less fortunate in their community in their life.

Their username is literally trollbridge! I mean come on.


So there is nothing to learn her at all?


If you want to look at successful systems, would you look at Paris, London, Berlin, Tokio, Münich, Zürich .... or Iowa City?


I wouldnt call the Munich one successful as in "nailed it". the shortcomings are many and increasingly visible


Everybody loves to complain about their own city, but compare it to US cities and its fine. I just listed a bunch of European cities that I have visited and seemed fine. My point is that if you want to 'learn' there are lots of places that you can take a look at.


Why are you picking on Iowa City? Anti-Americanism? Or is your prejudice more narrowly against the Midwest?

If I want to look at succesful systems, IDGAF where they are, but how they operate.


Are about being serious? Its not 'Anti-American' to point out basic facts that literally everybody knows.

Let's just look at some basic comparison between Iowa City and my own city of the same population (mine is somewhat larger in metro city):

about 1.05 million trips

about 50.1 million trips

Its not even close. Why would you look at some tiny US city that doesn't even have actually good results if you compare it to anybody even halfway competent. Why not look for evidence in systems that are better by LITERALLY EVERY METRIC?

That's the basic issue with looking to the US cities for evidence. Their baseline is so pathetic that 'improvements' isn't really that significant.

So maybe its time to start giving a fuck, and not cherry-picking examples to confirm your bias. Actually learn from the systems that achieve the best results.


Probably the same thing when the police shoot an innocent bystander currently - absolutely nothing.


> I don't think a Jewish guy could ever be an unironic neo-Nazi.

I suppose it would be confusing if the only thing you ever learned about Nazis was that they didn't like Jews.


You're trolling right?


Just a person who should never talk to journalists.
