? What is impressive about it?

Forget this is an AI model for a moment. Lets say I give you a black box, and you can type in shell commands and get results. Sometimes the results don't make sense.

Are you impressed?

I am not impressed.

I could implement the blackbox with an actual computer running and actual shell and the results would be better. Why would I ever use a LLM for this?

It's like discovering that the large hadron collider can detect the sun. Yes, it can. Wow, that's interesting, I didn't realize it could do that. I can also look up at the sun, and see the sun. mmm... well, that was fun, but pointless.

There are so many other things GPT can do, this... it's just quite ridiculous people are so amazed by it.

It is not indicative of any of the other breakthrough functionality that's in this model.
What if it made you believe that vs what it actually thought?
> That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.
Your demand would have made sense if Debt was a peer-reviewed scholarly work and not a political screed aimed at a lay readership.

But then again, there is enough nonsense in there than can be picked apart without being a domain expert. For example, Graeber claims Adam Smith's famous "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest" thesis is wrong because shopkeepers of the time mostly sold goods on credit and thus the customers were in fact depending on their benevolence. This blithe conflation of credit with benevolence should evoke laughter from anyone who is even remotely familiar with how businesses are run.

And dunking on Smith is how Graeber builds his grand neo-liberal economics conspiracy theory.
A good product is like art. It requires a vision and the ironwill to actually achieve it. It requires ruthlessly deleting features and annoying a subset of users for the greater whole.

In terms of teams, I don't think "developers" are here to blame. Where are the product managers? And I don't mean the project managers pretending to be product managers. Great products require the vision of a designer, organizational skill of a product manager and developers to be able to implement and/or tell everybody is asking for something feasible with current technology.

Its not easy, which is why so many products suck.
If you want to learn the history, go read "the history of PHP". There's tons opf it, none of it relevant to people who want to program modern PHP.

If you want to actually use PHP, or any other language, and the interpreter/compiler throws up errors that _cannot be understood_ by "using your brain" then that is both a bad design decision that should have been changed way back when, _and_ is a current bug in your interpreter/compiler that you need to fix.
Can someone convince me that these things aren't copied text from previously written statements by humans? I've seen so many online posts about terminator AI that surely that kind of thing appears in GPTs language model.

I have a rudimentary understanding of NNs so maybe I'm completely getting it wrong
We may need to rethink what exactly 'understanding' means in the context of ChatGPT. It's capable of a bunch of things that classically would be defined as understanding. We can claim that language models can't 'understand' things but then we have to explain why x, y or z that language models can do don't count as understanding.

The notion that campaign messaging can indicate what the candidate might do while in office should not be surprising.

Calls for censorship coming from individuals or groups who later assume positions within government are worth reviewing because it may inform how they operate while in office. Calls that come after taking office may be punishable. Therefore, any influence exerted during campaigns of private citizens, while unpunishable, is still interesting to follow. An incumbent up for re-election is not free to exert such influence, though I imagine it still happens on their behalf, and I'd say those unpunishable actions are worth following too.

All private messages aren't interesting, but these ones are because they called for censorship. Also, censorship just means suppression of content. It doesn't have to be done by a government.
That is like complaining that C wasn't available in plenty of computer hardware outside Bell Labs until early 1980's, after UNIX V6 release, was it ever seriously used outside AT&T research units?

Am I? This group wasn't able to separate the executive function from treasury function (despite their efforts to do so, it seems like this executive simply refused) - isn't that what caused this mess? If you structure an organization such that there is a single executive who cannot be held accountable - then your bus number is 1. Law enforcement cannot improve your bus number. It doesn't matter if your executive steals your money or gets hit by a bus, eventually something is going to happen to them and then your organization won't be able to recover from it.

If this was unclear, I'm not in favor of theft and am in favor of public goods. I'm not advocating for blind trust and am in favor of accountability - to peers in real time, not to law enforcement when the damage is already done.

If you want to know what I think, it's that horizontally organized groups, composed of as few people as possible (accepting redundancy to improve your bus number and allow for vacations and other contingencies), with a narrowly scoped mission, and without accepting more money than is necessary (as too much money leads to mission creep & perverse incentives) are the best way to do almost anything. A pyramid terminating with a single person is probably the worst.
Aye, this is what I was thinking.
They often don't even know that's an option.

Here's the deal. Haskell has “Functor” (mappable), “Monoid” (aggregate/summary), “Foldable” (summarizable), “Monad” (context/commandlike). This language comes from a lot of early adopters being math nerds of a sort. It is a barrier to entry, and everyone understands that.

PHP’s situation is worse because, you know what's true about PHP developers? They are often just learning programming. It is an entry-level language, something you can throw into the HTML you already have to make some magic happen. Yes it can be so much more, but it ALSO is a lot of peoples' first look at programming. When you chose to learn Haskell you knew you were jumping in the deep end. The sitch with PHP is grown adults nearly drowning in a kiddie pool.

Look, when Haskell condescends to me, “Your rigid skolem type variables are bound by the type signature for fizzBuzz!” I know as a seasoned programmer that I am experiencing my own masochism and that I should probably Google away and that I may end up having to read a PDF by Dr. Craig T. Skolem to find out why he has a species of type variables named after him. But if you are just starting out? It just makes you feel like you will never be able to do this and why did you even try.

So keep T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in the error message, feel free, I don't care. But IF it is there, please include in your English error messages in some brackets, “(that’s Hebrew for ‘double colon’, it helps for searching errors online)” or something like that. If you find that line in the error message smug/condescending, then T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is all the more smug, because it has the same implications but hidden behind an extra smug superiority, “you don't know the history of this language, do you?!” Or, on the flip side, as long as the error message explains what went wrong and hints how to fix it, feel free to inject a mini Hebrew lesson into my day, sure.
That's not going to work until the market mechanisms are adjusted to pay for reliability. Renewable energy is not reliable, unless it's accompanied by storage. And storage is tremendously expensive.

I came from a fairly Christian background, including university, and remember classes where the professor was always telling us to Tip Generously! It’s good for the mission (you know, evangelizing to strangers) and it just became a huge virtue signaling thing people did in front of each other instead of an actual act of generosity.

I personally don’t interpret “love your neighbor as yourself” as generous tipping as the Bible seemed more focused on just plain donations to strangers in need. I don’t think many service employees will have their life changed by 15-18% tips sadly because society just turned that into their paycheck instead of morally requiring their employer to do better :(

1) Excel just has a fucking ton of features, it's really hard to compete with a product that is responsible for at least $100 billion of Microsoft's value as a company. Any competitor tries to convert Excel spreadsheets but is always missing one or two things.

2) There are a bajillion Excel documents out there that people need to interoperate with, but I think this is less important than (1)

3) Microsoft sells their products as part of a huge bundle, so any one Microsoft product is essentially "free" when compared to the alternatives. This is the toughest nut to crack. You make a better Excel. Well, OK. Your customer is already paying Microsoft $xx/user/month for Word, PowerPoint, Teams, Windows, Active Directory, etc, and that won't change if they stop using Excel. But now they gotta pay you... not a really attractive proposition for them.
Aren’t some states now requiring employers to make up difference between hourly rate and minimum wage if tips aren’t met (California does this don’t they?) - so tips aren’t even over and above, they’re just paying the employee so the restaurant doesn’t have to

I have to burst your bubble here. Conservative institutions suffer from much less child abuse accounts than progressive, "leftist" institutions. If you want a good example, compare rates of child abuse between the Catholic Church and US public schools. The latter is rife with such accounts, both in relative and absolute terms. I say there is an association where the greater the deviation from conservative, traditional values, the more scandalous idiosyncrasies of the individuals manifest.

Is this funny to you? Or are you using some rhetorical flourish to morally grandstand? Either way, your style of retort is what I dearly hate about the present world.

Nowhere did MDN make such a statement

They're referring to the CSS "inch" (aka `in`). Which, similarly to the "pixel", has an arbitrary but well-defined meaning
Juristriction would add context to your note. Liability differs from place to place.

The model is certainly capable of writing non pseudo-code, although I started hitting rate limits before I got it all the way there in my example.

After going through some of the chatter on Twitter, I think the UI plays a critical role in creating the wow effect. We have had models like codex that can do this with assistance from memory for some time now (quick example on https://www.memprompt.com/), but the chat gpt interface made it so much more easier to use and see the nicely formatted results. Huge lesson IMO for folks working on AI + product.

Of course, the whole family of models from OpenAI is amazing, just that one of the key takeaways here is the importance of making models accessible and fun.
If they are doing work on alignment they've failed entirely. They created an AI that actively lies to people about its capabilities.
Soon every piece of information will have cryptographic claim(s) attached.

Everything that can attach it will have cryptographic identity.

Everything will likely evolve into some (weighted/probabilistic?) crypto-tree of trust. There won't be absolute truth, only truth scores according to some defined trust sets/trees.

Imagine fake news, pictures, videos, voice generated at scale, indistinguishable by humans from real information. It's easy when we talk about monsters on Mars, but not so much if it talked about some spectral analysis of organic compound deposits etc.

We're going to be flooded with this stuff very soon and people will have to employ flat-earther's approach to rationality [0] if we don't decorate information with crypto-metadata or find another solution to this problem.

Imagine if we're making mistake in 1 fake out of 1mln cases now and what we'll do if we start having 1 true out of 1mln fake pieces of information available. Generating fake information will be very cheap and generation available to anybody.

You won't know anymore if this new Gruffalo book was written by authors or generated by AI. You can only guess that this new Beatles song about twitter is probably fake (but looks so real) etc.

The evaluation system at Amazon drives a culture where most white collar staff won't be there 2 to 3 years from now and they realize they are in a stressful meatgrinder just around the time they start to gain a working knowledge of the project they have been assigned to.

It's not often the employees fault that they leave for greener pastures or are Pivot'ed out of Amazon, they usually work 3+ years at software firms before/after Amazon. Amazon would rather light money on fire by paying to recruit talent, give them half a year to start being positively impactful, then turn up the heat in the year or so thereafter until the employee is gone, rather than treat their workforce decently.

Acting like a garbage employer is sapping Amazon of talent, slowing down projects and burning tons of money on talent. Focus more on team building exercises, invest in actual mentoring if your employees, stop pressuring managers to rank and Pivot employees needlessly and Amazon can stop letting talented people slip out of the organization.
> I've heard a lot of carping about products being "bloated" with "too many features" but I have never seen someone (including myself) stop using a tool because it was too powerful

Not because it's "too powerful", no; you'd stop using it because of the fallout. A newer, sleeker alternative comes out with 20% of the features, resulting in a cleaner, faster UX that eats market share (Trello/Jira). Bugs accumulate until people give up. New users open the program, take one look at 3 stacked toolbars of unintelligible options, and go devise workflows that let them avoid opening it again. Structural problems ironically make it hard to add new features so it starts getting rejected. The features are fine, but they're not free.
Any experience with this? I would suspect that it would work with GTK2, but not for current GTK3/4.
You should really think about the ethics of using this. You could wait a few minutes before executing your script. Some people work really hard to get on the leaderboard and players like you destroy the concept.

> the bits stating the card has Chip-and-PIN can be turned off from the magstripe

This is true, but it's not the last line of defence, right? The bank could still reject the transaction if it sees a chip card used to do a magstripe transaction on a chip-capable reader. That relies on the reader providing that information to the bank, though, and while I believe the EMV protocol can do that, I don't know if that's used for magstripe transactions (talking purely reader to bank here, not reader to card).

I don't think it can be fairly considered a security issue that the “I'm a chip card, why are you swiping me” bit is on the magnetic stripe. It's obvious that doesn't protect against modification, but it's not supposed to! Hell, it's probably only meant to be a reminder anyway, as you can subvert it by making the card reader think the chip isn't working.
