I was about to write a reply claiming that you're different from autocomplete because you take input from more sources than just the words you've said before (e.g. your vision), but actually I can't see how that's much different from a language model. The approach seems the same, and all that's really different is the shape of the input data.

But this uncovers difficult questions about free will. If we're all just autocompleting based on a combination of the world around us, our internal state, and the physical laws, then what even is intelligence anyway? This view reduces thought to nothing more than an interesting dust storm.

Still, I find the original argument compelling, if not logically convincing. There does seem to be something missing from GPT-3 that differs fundamentally from human intelligence or AGI. But maybe that's an illusion.

Edit: I don't think you should have been downvoted, since your question is valid and constructive in my view.
RCP is "diverse" compared to CNN or Fox offering opinions from center (mayyybe center -left) Bloomberg/Politico/NYMag to far right (Federalist), with a clear Right bias. Their founding mission to provide diversity to balance the Liberal Mainstream Media.
They have nothing Left like Mother Jones or Jacobin.

The farthest left they go is in linking to Biden endorsements, but Biden is a centrist establish Democrat who has been endorsed by most of the pre-2016 Republican party.

It's obvious from the list of sources:

I've been keeping a "work log", recording what I've worked on every day for the past 5+ years.

Initially I used markdown, but I recently switched to org-mode. Initially I'd just copy/paste commands and output, and create daily todo-lists for myself.

Now I find I'm learning more and the use is spreading into other areas.

I put together a simple example of my worklog here, in case it is at all inspiring:

This is exactly the problem the author is referring to. With Terraform, you always type "yes" to proceed, so it turns into muscle memory. You stop reading the output, and you're already typing "yes" before you even see the prompt. Terraform's output is also verbose, and many changes show up as "1 to add, 0 to change, 1 to destroy" because they don't separately list a "replace" category. It's pretty bad; you've got cognitive overload, confusing output summary, and a predetermined continue answer. And this is often an action you're performing under duress. I've been bitten by it plenty of times.
Firefox is my daily driver but I keep Chromium installed, sometimes I want FF dev tools and sometimes I want Chromium.

Congrats on your new job!

Since you are good at Javascript and willing to learn a new language, why not try to help port CRDT based library e.g. Automerge to compiled language like D language:

https://github.com/automerge/automerge

It seems that Automerge algorithm is quite stable now just need a good native/compiled language implementation especially for enabling local-first desktop applications.

So GPT-3 didn't replace your 2 ML engineers, OpenAI did.
GPT-3 didn't build itself.
Hopefully there’s an API to fetch that count :)
I don't think it hides any complexity, but I guess that's for the reader to decide.

Raft on the other hand... I've implemented versions of both paxos and raft, and by golly was the latter more difficult to get right.

You could use hydra [1] to set up something like this pretty easily. I did have a setup like this once, but found that escaping the 'modes' with an extra keypress when I only typically wanted to do one or two operations wasn't particularly nice.

Build a compiler or small emulator if you want to get better not more web CRUD. But really don't code on your break, i'd say buy some shrooms and walk around the woods.
Possible, but I suspect heat and area would be problems, at least for the CPUs.

A smaller AMD core could be supplied as a hard core on the Xilinx part but would that really be worth it?
Exactly - the analogy fails if a few assumptions we have about ourselves or what GPT-3 is actually “doing” are wrong. Until we hit some asymptotic limit on training these kinds of language models, I’m withholding judgement on what such a model will be capable of representing if/when that limit arrives.
> the issue at hand is the inclusion of youtube links in the readme, which encourages downloads of copyrighted works from youtube.

The README file doesn't encourage any downloads of any copyrighted works. All examples included in the README point to their own example video. The only thing that comes close to this is that they say that they will not support any services that are violating copyrights. The copyrighted content is used in test cases, that are not meant for users to see.

> (i) Does YouTube have "technological protection measures" that prevent downloading? In the case of the AACS controversy, this was a bit more clear-cut: there was a secret key that was cracked, but what exactly is being "circumvented" in this case?

What's being "circumvented" is the encrypted URL to the content. But it's not really circumvented, YouTube decrypts it with javascript. All youtube-dl does is that it interprets the javascript that's on their website, just like a web browser does.

> (ii) Nowhere does youtube-dl advertise that it's to be used to "reproduce and distribute" without authorization.

Correct. Not sure what "reproduce" means in legal speak, but youtube-dl doesn't even have any functionality to distribute anything.
Should Section 230 apply to algorithmic feeds like Facebook News Feed?
Last week's US Supreme Court orders list contains an intriguing statement by Justice Thomas. He asks whether Section 230 immunity should apply to algorithmic feeds like Facebook's News Feed and much of YouTube.

What would be the impact of imposing publisher liability on sites with algorithmic feeds?

You can read the statement at https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/101320zor_8m58.pdf, starting on page 11.
Matrix multiplication is the composition of linear maps. It’s sometimes lost in the more computational approach, but we can think of this geometrically. If you know the first matrix rotates the plan by some amount, and the 2nd rotates it in the same direction as well, then the product must be the rotation matrix that rotates by the sum of the original rotations. That’s a very simple example. Since every nonsingular matrix is just a change of basis, you can get a rich geometric understanding for multiplying matrices. Moreover when things get more complicated, we can use invariants like the determinant and the trace to help guide our intuition.

I’d highly suggest watching 3Blue1Brown’s videos on Linear Algebra. He won’t get you to understanding everything (you’ll need to sit down and do problems for that) but he will help you see what intuition is out there in a very beautiful way. He makes a very good point that often when we go through the computations without the geometric intuition, we can spend a ton of time crunching numbers to see results that should have been obvious.
It seems marginally more apt here, as the ostensible goal of the Spanish Inquisition was to seek out truth (the real goal was more a pogrom, of course...)

And the Spanish Inquisition, of course, famously used other dubious interrogation techniques.

I’m an avid safari user on iOS and Mac, and I suspect I’ll be an avid Edge user on Microsoft now that it’s basically a better chrome.

I can see why people would want to switch it up. Especially if you use different operating systems, and want to synchronise your browser experience between them. Not having things synced has actually been a major advantage for me, as I use my phone and Mac very differently than I use my windows devices, but I can see why you wouldn’t want to run safari on Windows/Linux.

Hell, these days I gotta say that I can see why you wouldn’t want to run Safari at all. It’s terrible at Disney plus, and others, and while that may be a Disney plus and others problem, that’s still technology that doesn’t work right out the box like it’s supposed to.

I do think the fact that the new Edge is so good is going to eat into Google’s market. Exactly because of people like you and me who aren’t going to bother unless we have to.
Oh, so it’s not my browser being weird, thanks :) I have to refresh every tweet I load unless it’s opened within a few seconds of the first.

Interesting. As a reading researcher, I imagine that this could potentially introduce subtle and difficult to spot bugs when you get a proposed completion that looks about right i.e. close enough to what you imagined. Has this been an issue in your experience?
Ready Player One, Motivation, and Games for Learning: Shawn Young of Classcraft
I think the point the GP is trying to make is that if one has thought about security and privacy then one is more likely to use www.example.com instead of example.com for one's website for this very reason.
It is really funny when you find out that Intel uses Xilinx FPGAs for prototyping as they cannot get what they acquired (Altera) working in house to make things work.
I care about what I can personally get for my family. We are low on the list (able to stay home almost entirely unlike health care or retail). We are tired of this, and no end is in site. The US origin vaccines (some of them are one shot or require less care in handling seem like the ones that we need)
This opinion is unlikely to be popular, and it's been decades since I was a full participant in the hardware business, but...I just have never seen the use case for FPGAs beyond niche prototyping / small run applications, which by definition make no money. I suppose there are also scenarios where you want to keep your design secret from the fab and/or change it every week, but those seem very niche too (NSA, GCHQ, ..?).
Smaller, more efficient tokamak could follow in ITER’s fusion footsteps
Ah! Totally a typo, thanks for that :)

I've never seen a language model that could create language models. (Never mind the hardware that runs them.)

You're using a very loaded and narrow sense of 'human' here.
This is the same paywalled article as the main link.

Guys, please reconsider posting things to HN that HNers can’t actually read.
> This also eliminates the captive audience problem where 401k plans have higher expense ratios than investment options available in IRA or taxable accounts.

This isn't true across the board. Large employers get great rates for their 401k funds due to the collective size of investment, better than anything available to an individual. This is similar to employer sponsored health coverage, and the reason both of them won't go away anytime soon.
> started with rings and fields

This seems unnecessary for a first class. I would agree with the parent here that the class should help build intuition and theoretical understanding. Presenting a rich theory with full generality is probably not the best way to do that though. There are some beautiful concepts and geometric understanding to be had with the reals. The abstraction to vector spaces defined over arbitrary rings and fields builds naturally once you have that base.
Most of this country will not be able to save enough for retirement. It might make sense here to just eliminate 401ks and IRAs and use the meet increase in that revenue to expand SSA to actually be a national pension program. But politics kinda prevents this.
Really cool project. I've used comsol in the past for some fluidics simulations. I agree, the open source multiphysics packages come with a steep learning curve (easier for the more tech literate).

How did you get out of the post-doc loop?
What? Blackmail doesn’t reveal itself as some news report saying “CIA reports that Congressman X did blah blah blah, therefore the CIA recommends that you should not vote for him in the next election and other Congressmen should not work with him”.

It appears as something like “Leaked photographs reveal scandalous behavior by Congressman X. This scandal destroyed his reputation in Congress leading to him being ineffective in Congress, and made him deeply unpopular with voters, which will lead to him losing his next election”.

Blackmail works on anybody.
yes you can... which is why i gave you links to a couple of sites for activities you can do outside without involving groups. you can do geocaching or weird exploring with just you and your partner. wear a mask, bring some hand-sanitizer (especially if you're geocaching), bug repellant (again... especially if you're geocaching) and enjoy the out doors.
Makes sense. You need a richer world model associated with the text then is embedded in word choice. You also need analogies and metaphorical reasoning as well.
Except the new codec won't fit into the FPGA they put on that chip that's in the field.
Do you think multiple people would naturally volunteer to say those things in a regular session?

Women are most often also involved there. They don't treat them worse, they just aren't that fragile. A.frwshmen could actually learn something about interpersonal relationships working such a job. My impression is that it is needed.

It is not applicable here though.

Yes, and infrequent; the main issue with Windows (Vista mainly) was that it appeared far too often. Even with 7, when you're setting it up for the first time for example, I think it shows up too often.

Same with Terms & Conditions. If you want your customers to truly have read and understood them, you have to show them a short quiz at the end of it. You're required to do a quiz in Europe nowadays if you want to engage in stock trading.
This. Having tight control over memory layout + heap allocations + vector instructions can literally decrease runtume by several orders of magnitude. Performance is so much more than having the "right algorithm". The low-level details matter so much.

The server market moves and replaces slowly. Even when Intel was beating AMD by 30% or more it still took years for AMD percentages to drop.

AMD EPYC on AWS is 10.42% cheaper than Intel per hour across the board for m5 instances (9.6% cheaper for t3 instances). 7nm EPYC saves more than 10% power vs Intel 14nm and per-chip savings from buying AMD are way more than 10% vs similar Intel offerings. Why can Amazon spike prices that much? Because people will pay and still consider it a deal.

AMD's main issue still seems to be available due to do much competition for 7nm and tsmc being reluctant to build new fabs.
Aren't they rolling out a beta of FSD literally as we speak?
Yeah, it's quite surreal. "Hey, privacy is important, so let it make so that to handle people's private data, you'll need a permission from them". All right, now whenever you try to e.g. send a (paper) mail, you have to sign the waiver that yes, you do allow the post office to see and handle your name and your mail address. Not only that, all such waivers seem to be written as "I hereby allow <insert the legal entity> to handle my private data in whatever way they want to", so we're back on square one, just with more perfunctory paperwork required.
Watch and listen to pilots as they complete checklists. They point and callout each item, switch setting, etc.
Yes of course.

I've been into contact improvisation, some partner dances, and acro, and the scenes are structured by social circles that are much broader that most romantic relationships.

You become part of a scene by showing up regularly, practising, and occasionally making friends.

If some of these activities have sensual components (communication through touch, syncing together, sharing an understanding of the music…), there's no need to link that to romantic connections.
Thanks, that's a great example of how Org documents can integrate code that provides interactivity. I shared it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/jj2ok0/skxorgworklog...
There is no parking space between me and my usual targets that can easily be removed. The little parking space there is is part of the roads and removing it would consequently move the buildings far closer together, by about 2m out of 10m to 15m, I guess. I don't want to have the building on the other side of the road be 10-20% closer, I like my sunlight and some privacy.
You can't go anywhere? Just drive/rent a car and go somewhere within 2 hours, in nature. Muse on life, hike. Way more "productive" than anything else.
I actually see this as a way forward, depending on how dire the situation gets. An alternative, yet more radical path, is the Federal Reserve buying up income producing securities and issuing citizen dividends from those securities directly to citizens using FedAccounts (essentially UBI).
> These usually end up becoming a custom micro-framework, thereby questioning why you didn't use one of the established and tested libraries/frameworks in the first place.

Often a custom micro-framework better suits the needs of a particular project.

I've written micro-frameworks for specific projects intentionally, because they did a few things that the established frameworks either didn't do, or it was very difficult to get them to do.

An additional benefit was that using the micro frameworks ended up being simpler, and the startup time was much, much faster.

Whether or not you use an existing framework depends on how much effort it is to write and test a custom framework vs the amount of effort you'd need to put in to use an existing framework.

The ones I've written have been pretty quick to develop, and were also intended to be used for a few different projects that had similar needs.

Edit: Just for clarification, the micro frameworks I've written are server-side, if that makes any difference.
Remember that the problem here is purely a performance optimisation having become a pessimisation; it’s not actually breaking anything. I tend to agree with you, but only as far as functionality is concerned: that you shouldn’t act otherwise than the user specified. For display, I’m quite happy with dropping https://, and not too distressed about dropping www.. But for my comment, I wasn’t talking about changing what the user entered, but rather being willing to accept either of the two most common forms that users may enter.
Not to call you out specifically but there's a weird pavlovian response on this site where people have to say the word "raft" when they see the word "paxos". It happens in every comment section without fail. The consensus world moved on from the paxos vs raft battle; the user learning study happened in 2013. Seven years ago! It's time to update our comment sections to reflect that. Here's an excerpt from a 2015 parody blogpost:

What’s etcd?

-It’s an implementation of RAFT.

OK, so what’s Raft?

-It’s like Paxos.

Christ, how deep down this fucking rabbit hole are we going? I just want to launch an app. Sigh. Fuck, OK, deep breaths. Jesus. OK, what’s Paxos?

-Paxos is like this really old distributed consensus protocol from the 70s that no-one understands or uses.

Great, thanks for telling me about it then. And Raft is what?

-Since no-one understands Paxos, this guy Diego…

Oh, you know him?

-No, he works at CoreOS. Anyway, Diego built Raft for his PhD thesis cause Paxos was too hard. Wicked smart dude. And then he wrote etcd as an implementation, and Aphyr said it wasn’t shit.

https://circleci.com/blog/its-the-future/

Anyway Paxos was published in 1998.
Eh, it can be but often times there's people in the wings cringing.
Ah, right, not USB PD yet, not sure why I thought that.
The average HR department is highly motivated to avoid lawsuits of this kind. Police departments, by contrast, have no liability if they get it wrong. Officers themselves are disproportionately male and have traditional/regressive upbringings (as demonstrated by the high prevalence of domestic abuse against officer spouses).

Then too, we must consider the rights of the accused. Simply being arrested can be a huge life-altering event. Being docked pay or fired is more proportional to the size of the infraction. And society needs a gradient of responses: not every offense should consumer the resources of the police and the courts... that simply doesn't scale, and it's not a humane solution.
Sadly, most of us don't have the luxury of working in environment where (a) it's mandated that we set up a 1-for-1 test rig with the production infrastructure and (b) management will accept the answer "I need to test for all possible contingencies because failure is not an option."

(Most of us are writing code in an environment where failure is totally an option, as long as it's fast and restoration is quick ;) ).
What if you are Black and pro-Life, high income and live in the suburbs, married to a Palestinian and have a police officer brother married to a Jew?
I for one can't fathom any organization managing a million devices / servers / VMs / whatnot. I'm having enough trouble with one, and my biggest employers had maybe a few dozen at best, and they already had a dedicated ops team that worked mainly with infrastructure-as-code.
Thanks for the tips and clarifications.

> It is not needed yearly. The validity is 4 years for "personal" certificates:

Indeed, the "personal" certificate is invalidated each 4 years and you have to visit the police to get a new one.

What I meant is that the root (or subordinates) certificates of the FNMT are revoked with a surprisingly high frequency. With "yearly" I mean that roughly every year I have to see what's up with the certificates on my dad's computer as he complains he cannot log in anymore to AEAT, at first I assumed he misconfigured something but nope it's the public certificate of the root or subordinate CAs that have to be changed as the previous ones are revoked. This is done with a noticeably higher frequency than needed.

This has happened several times and always leaves me baffled as what could be the reason.
Mmmm I'm not in the US. I'm literally not allowed to go out.

But thanks anyway!
A UI that doesn't suck.
