  1. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The chief difference between the despotic and the totalitarian secret police lies in the difference between the “suspect” and the “objective enemy.” The latter is defined by the policy of the government and not by his own desire to overthrow it. He is never an individual whose dangerous thoughts must be provoked or whose past justifies suspicion, but a “carrier of tendences” like the carrier of a disease. Practically speaking, the totalitarian ruler proceeds like a man who persistently insults another man until everybody knows that the latter is his enemy, so that he can, with some plausibility, go and kill him in self-defense.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 12 “Totalitarianism in Power,” sec. 1 (1951)

  3. A quotation from Thomas More

    But doubtless Plato was right in foreseeing that unless kings became philosophical themselves, they would never take the advice of real philosophers, drenched as they are and infected with false values from boyhood on.
     
    [Sed bene haud dubie praeuidit Plato, nisi reges philosophentur ipsi, nunquam futurum, ut peruersis opinionibus a pueris imbuti, atque infecti penitus philosophantium comprobent consilia.]

    Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
    Utopia, Book 1, ch. 1 “Discourses of Raphael Hythloday” (1518 ed.) [tr. Adams (1992 ed.)]

  5. Антипаттерн LLM-приложений: когда модель игнорирует контекст. Часть 2

    Всем привет! В первой части мы разобрали теорию : почему LLM «забывают» информацию в середине промпта, как на это влияет архитектура внимания и при чём здесь ротационные кодирования (RoPE). Мы выяснили, что эффект Lost in the Middle — это закономерное следствие того, как устроены современные трансформеры и как они обучаются. Но насколько всё плохо на практике? Если разработчик модели заявляет контекстное окно в 128k или даже 1M токенов — можем ли мы на него рассчитывать в реальном продакшене? Во второй части мы переходим от теории к цифрам на бенчмарках. Мы разберём, почему стандартные тесты "иголка в стоге сена" (NIAH) безнадёжно устарели и как новые метрики вроде RULER и NoLiMa показывают реальное «рабочее» окно моделей, которое иногда в 60 раз меньше заявленного. В финале этой статьи я соберу практические архитектурные принципы, которые помогают проектировать LLM-системы так, чтобы длинный контекст действительно повышал качество, а не превращался в источник ошибок.

  6. Использование библиотеки spaCy для поиска сущностей в тексте

    Снова приветствую всех читателей Хабр. В предыдущей статье был приведен пример создания кода проекта для задачи автоматизации обработки данных, в результате чего получилось подготовить нужную информацию по модели данных ЛОЦМАН: PLM. Эти данные планируется использовать для построения механизмов обработки поисковых запросов пользователей к базе ЛОЦМАН:PLM — в частности, для распознавания сущностей в тексте запроса. Это позволит понимать, на какие объекты модели данных ссылается пользователь: изделия, их параметры, типы документов и так далее. Для решения новой задачи я решил опробовать возможности библиотеки spaCy , в которой сущности можно распознавать на основе заранее заданных паттернов. В ходе экспериментов с библиотекой и её модулями EntityRuler и SpanRuler я столкнулся с рядом особенностей, и в данной статье делюсь накопленным опытом и наработками — надеюсь, они окажутся полезными и для вас.

  7. #ruler #terminal #tmux #ded

    I've had this idea of having a ruler in the terminal. Such a ruler would allow me to see how far across the terminal a character or word is.

    Why? Not sure yet, I just liked the idea of it. You know, this is one of those solutions looking for a problem. ;). Still, it was fun.

    What I came up was this:

    (ruler1.png)

    This is achieved using tmux, where it's possible to create a split where the output is taken from stdin (rather than spawning a shell):

    % ruler | tmux splitw -dI -l2 -b &

    Here, this creates a split window two lines high (-l2), puts on the top (-b), and puts the output from the`ruler` command in the window.

    Then I can use text using whatever against the ruler to see where on the screen it is.

    We can take this a step further though and make use of tmux's `popup-display` command to have a ruler floating on the screen:

    (ruler2.png)

    ... and even make it borderless:

    (ruler3.png)

    This can be moved using the mouse, by holding Alt down and dragging with mouse-1.

    It turns out that using a ruler in an application isn't new.

    Thomas Dickey (of #xterm fame) wrote #ded (invisible-island.net/ded/ded.h) which has a ruler on it:

    (ruler4.png)

    #ded is an interesting program of itself and I had to tweak it slightly to make ot use ncursesw to display nicely in tmux (ACS fallback for drawing the ruler), which I might discuss in a separate thread on here.

    I'll have to email Thomas to find out what the "workspace ruler" (as it's called) does, and what it's useful for.

    As for my ruler, well, I think I have the measure of it now, so I think I'll re-write the quick shell script into something with bells-and-whistles.

    Maybe I'll give it conversion options to display inches, feet, cubits, etc... ;)

  9. In the #bourgeoisstate there are only “#free #people” who are forced into thousands of things (for example, into deference, into a confession of faith, and the like). But what does that matter? It’s only the state, the law, not any human being, that forces them!

    What does the bourgeoisie want from its railing against every personal order, every order not founded on the “cause,” on “reason,” etc.? It simply fights in the interest of the “cause” against the rule of “persons”! But the cause of the spirit is the rational, the good, the lawful, etc.; that is the “good cause.” The bourgeoisie wants an #impersonal #ruler.

    Im #BürgerStaate gibt es nur „#freie #Leute“, die zu Tausenderlei (z.B. zu Ehrerbietung, zu einem Glaubensbekenntnis u. dergl.) gezwungen werden. Was tut das aber? Es zwingt sie ja nur der – Staat, das Gesetz, nicht irgend ein Mensch!

    Was will das Bürgertum damit, daß es gegen jeden persönlichen, d.h. nicht in der „Sache“, der „Vernunft“ usw. begründeten Befehl eifert? Es kämpft eben nur im Interesse der „Sache“ gegen die Herrschaft der „Personen“! Sache des Geistes ist aber das Vernünftige, Gute, Gesetzliche usw.; das ist die „gute Sache“. Das Bürgertum will einen #unpersönlichen #Herrscher.

    — Max Stirner

  10. A quotation from Robert Herrick

    ’Twixt kings and tyrants there’s this difference known:
    Kings seek their subjects’ good; tyrants their own.

    Robert Herrick (1591-1674) English poet
    “Kings and Tyrants,” Hesperides, # 861 (1648)

  11. A quotation from Josh Billings

    “Happy as a king,” iz a libel on happiness, and on the king to.
     
    [“Happy as a king,” is a libel on happiness, and on the king, too.]

    Josh Billings (1818-1885) American humorist, aphorist [pseud. of Henry Wheeler Shaw]
    Everybody’s Friend, Or; Josh Billing’s Encyclopedia and Proverbial Philosophy of Wit and Humor, ch. 156 “Affurisms: Embers on the Harth” (1874)

  12. A quotation from John Adams

    Rulers are no more than attorneys, agents and trustees for the people; and if the cause, the interest and trust is insidiously betray’d, or wantonly trifled away, the people have a right to revoke the authority, that they themselves have deputed, and to constitute abler and better agents, attorneys and trustees.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Essay (1765-09-30), “A Dissertation on the Canon and the Feudal Law,” No. 3, Boston Gazette

  13. A quotation from Carlyle

    Tell me what kind of man governs a People, you tell me, with much exactness, what the net sum-total of social worth in that People has for some time been.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Essay (1850-04-01), “Downing Street,” Latter-Day Pamphlets, No. 3

  14. Lady Cecelia looked around the Botanical Garden deciding what to do next. Previously the baroness' prized #rose garden, it had suffered from neglect after her death, and almost all of the roses had perished. Cecelia had reclaimed most of the beds, but a few roses were unique varieties never described before. She had managed to save two.
    She walked to the first and crouched down. With her #ruler and notebook, she took careful measurements and began a description: "Rosa Lady Faeth…"

  16. Новый метод оценки HashHop вместо “иголка в стоге сена”, RULER и 100 млн. токенов контекста

    LLM с новым алгоритмом внимания в контекстное окно которой помещается весь проект с библиотеками и документацией, И почему пока звучит неубедительно все, кроме $465 млн. инвестиций. На днях стартап Magic анонсировал новую LLM модель с контекстым окном в 100 млн. токенов как многообещающий прорыв в области разработки ПО. Во-первых из-за гигантского контекстного окна, в которое буквально можно запихнуть целиком со всеми библиотеками и документацией весь проект (10 млн. строчек кода), а во вторых из-за нового механизма внимания, который позволяет модели действительно работать со всем этим контекстом. Рассмотрим насколько это инновационно и что можно понять из анонса Magic. (Спойлер - HashHop простой и логичный механизм, но как это все работает и работает ли понять пока невозможно).
