Ruby Is Not a Serious Programming Language

WIRED

Ruby survives on affection, not utility. My little theory is that the concept of "imprinting" in psychology can just as easily be applied to programming: Much as a baby goose decides that the first moving life-form it encounters is its parent, embryonic programmers form ineradicable attachments to the patterns and quiddities of their first formative language. Because if/when the machines take over, we should at least speak their language. For many people, that language is Ruby. It's often credited with making programming "click"; imprintees speak of it with a certain indebtedness and affection.


You are being secretly tracked by your iPhone with little-known setting - here's how to turn it off

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Apple is secretly tracking users through a feature that was turned on by default during a previous iOS 17 update. When the Journal app released in December 2023, a privacy setting was automatically switched to on. It allows people to interact with your iPhone when they are nearby. To turn yours off, go to the Privacy & Security tab in the settings folder. It should say'Discoverable by Others'.


Common 7B Language Models Already Possess Strong Math Capabilities

Mathematical capabilities were previously believed to emerge in common language models only at a very large scale or require extensive math-related pre-training. This paper shows that the LLaMA-2 7B model with common pre-training already exhibits strong mathematical abilities, as evidenced by its impressive accuracy of 97.7% and 72.0% on the GSM8K and MATH benchmarks, respectively, when selecting the best response from 256 random generations. The primary issue with the current base model is the difficulty in consistently eliciting its inherent mathematical capabilities. Notably, the accuracy for the first answer drops to 49.5% and 7.9% on the GSM8K and MATH benchmarks, respectively. We find that simply scaling up the SFT data can significantly enhance the reliability of generating correct answers. However, the potential for extensive scaling is constrained by the scarcity of publicly available math questions. To overcome this limitation, we employ synthetic data, which proves to be nearly as effective as real data and shows no clear saturation when scaled up to approximately one million samples. This straightforward approach achieves an accuracy of 82.6% on GSM8K and 40.6% on MATH using LLaMA-2 7B models, surpassing previous models by 14.2% and 20.8%, respectively. We also provide insights into scaling behaviors across different reasoning complexities and error types.


iPhone users in uproar over Apple's new Journal app that is automatically downloaded to your device and shares information with strangers nearby

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The iPhone-specific app was released in Apple's new iOS 17.2 update and prompts users to write about their lives to'reflect and practice gratitude,' according to the Cupertino company. However, tech experts have pointed out that the app's default settings make your phone discoverable by nearby devices, not just when you use it. The Journal app exploits users' photos, workout data, recent music listening history, and even location data to craft so-called journal entries that are mostly complete before the phone's owner even enters a single word. These capabilities have sparked privacy concerns and fears over the data that may be shared without people's knowledge. Some have also noted the new app's similarity to Google's'Project Ellmann,' which uses the company's ChatGPT rival Gemini to comb through users' data and craft an overarching story of your life.
