I started playing with it yesterday. It's amazing.

For coding stuff, it's already usable as a template assistant: it finds the right imports, gives things sensible names, and gets the interface right with a bit of prompt engineering.

For general knowledge, it reminds me an awful lot of a copywriter I once worked with. He understood almost nothing about finance (very young guy), but he could churn out articles with the right words in them. Basically a layman would say he's an expert, and an expert would say he's a layman. The same goes for things I'm not an expert on, BTW. My answer to why Rome fell is pretty much what cGPT spits out, and I wouldn't know better until a classics professor challenged me on it.

That's what I currently think about chatGPT. A sort of intellectual tourist who can tell you a lot of things about a lot of areas, but it's skin deep. It's still rather awesome, because you have to start somewhere and basically everywhere I've looked it has that diligent high school kid answer that can be researched if you know what you're doing. You can even tell it's a high school kid because of the way it uses certain terms: a little too generalizing, skipping over nuances.

It also doesn't give really long answers, at least not to things I ask. If it were really confident it would spit out something akin to acoup's essays about history. Of course this will fall to Goodheart's law someday: say lots of things and people will think you are smart, until they realize you are just saying lots of things in order to sound smart, and then length will no longer be a signal of a good answer.

Not an english speaker, but I can't imagine "get" used for anything non free, especially after a "buy".
Yup. It's quite futile.
If I recall correctly, that building was so vast that they had trouble controlling the weather inside on a few occasions. Trouble as in, clouds were forming and rain was falling.

May that's just myth, but I like that myth enough to not google it.
This is awesome. I'm sure the fact that most ML models require an insane mess of Python packages is holding applications back.

Hook this up to ChatGPT and you've got something better than Google Assistant with almost no work.

(You can tell ChatGPT an API, and ask it to generate a script in response to a voice assistant query.)
Depends on size and what kind of company it is.

I once worked for 300+ people research company which was mainly using Linux, there default setup was:

- no "normal" employee has admin rights

- any long running/compute task must run on one of the many server systems available

- desktop systems used some form of network boot to install/reinstall/update them on startup, unused systems shut down after a while for both power saving and enforcing the network boot triggering

- there was some tooling which allowed admins to easily configure the right combination of Linux distribution and software bundles

- if some applications wasn't available you needed to make a ticked and normally got it in a day, that seems high friction but then it doesn't happen that often so it's not really a problem and it tends to get added to a bundle so that other people have it too

What somewhat wasn't covered would be local project specific installations using e.g. `pip`/`npm` etc.

And naturally there had been a bunch of exceptions.

Now this was years ago and this approach was for siency use-case not normal software development, but while a lot of developers probably wouldn't like it should be applicable to a lot of dev use cases, too. As long as you include enough tools/choices in your software bundles. Okay, maybe it will not work for certain system level C/C++ programming, but for most app/web/server use cases it should be possible. I guess one of the worst offenders here would be docker as you would _only_ allow rootless containers. (But then I'm using mostly podman and I thing I only have been using rootless containers the last 1.5 years or so.)
Great point. They'll restrict and confine this poor AI until it's useless.

Others will emerge.
It's not just a defensive trait. It also makes them look more attractive in today's world.

And it gives them a good excuse to reject a man. That's still a valid defensive strategy because rejection is one of the top reasons why men get violent.
If the manufactures wanted to they could easily make a sealed phone and a sealed battery and just clip them together. The extra thickness of two layers of waterproofing between them is arguable on a fashion phone but irrelevant on a product like this.
Indeed. I find it fascinating that the widespread modern generations of the 737 still have largely (or maybe entirely?) the same fuselage design as the now-ancient 707.
I wrote my master's dissertation in Emacs with proportional fonts and many other nice affordances. Here's one of the blog posts I used for inspiration: https://zzamboni.org/post/beautifying-org-mode-in-emacs/
But is there any "stable" version ?

Python really shows how SW development is done these days.
It is Rust so must be safe.
Where's the source code for the game itself? The github page you linked to lists resources, and a Steam page for the game, but not the code itself. That would be the most interesting thing for HN, otherwise this just seems like a submarine ad for your game.

If you're going to use FOSS code for your project you should release it as such.

That said, congrats on releasing. I play around with C a lot but couldn't imagine sticking with it long enough to finish something bigger than a library.

Can anyone recommend a (r)introduction to modern vector programming on CPUs? I was last fluent in the SSE2 days, but an awful lot has happened since - and while I did go over the list of modern vector primitives (AVX2, not yet AVX512), what I'm missing is use cases - every such primitive has 4-5 common use cases that are the reason it was included, and I would really like to know what they are ....
No, it demonstrated that it’s very easy to bullshit people.

(I’m saying that GPTChat is bullshitting people and not capable of much else, not that GPTChaf itself is bullshit.)
The article stumbles on assortative mating, and proceeds to draw the wrong conclusion.
Yes, women do select for intelligence, within reason. It would be useless for them to select for men who act, behave and talk, beyond their level of comprehension. At the same time they highly desire someone who is within their level of intelligence and not below it.
Unlike with physical attractiveness, intelligence can only be appreciated when the person itself is smart enough.
> Did AWS just pay them to write this?

This is part of their technical blog ( https://medium.com/mcdonalds-technical-blog ), which looks like an outreach attempt to help with recruitment (hackathons etc). Probably someone went to a PM saying "we need to talk about our stack, how do we make it sound sexy and cool?" and this is what they got back.
Straight up propaganda here. You omitted the fact that Russia invaded Donbas 8 years ago.

Also it's funny that Russia's "liberation" looks like mass murder, rape, genocide, kidnapping children and bombing apartments and hospitals...

> part of an anti-slav race war.

This is straight up hilarious since Ukrainian language is far closer to other Slavic languages than to Russian. Also Russia's been selling this war to Muslim minorities as a chance to "kill Slavs".
Here's what actual response to his post, fully cited, from ChatGPT would be:

It is not helpful for Person B to simply paste the response of a language model without providing any additional context or explanation. By doing so, Person B is not contributing to the conversation and is not providing any value to the discussion. Additionally, this behavior can be confusing and misleading for other readers who may not be aware that the response is from a language model and not from a real person. It is important for all participants in a conversation to contribute their own thoughts and ideas in order to have a productive and meaningful discussion.

offer a suggestion

One suggestion for Person B could be to provide their own thoughts and ideas in response to the question, rather than simply pasting the response of a language model. Person B could also provide some context or explanation for the response of the language model, to help other readers understand the relevance of the response and how it relates to the original question. Additionally, Person B could engage with the other participants in the conversation and ask follow-up questions or provide additional insights to further the discussion. By actively participating in the conversation and providing value through their own contributions, Person B can help make the conversation more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

how would we enforce that?

Enforcing the suggestion for Person B to provide their own thoughts and ideas in a conversation would be difficult to do in practice. One potential way to encourage this behavior would be for the community to establish norms and expectations around participation in discussions, and to provide positive reinforcement for those who contribute meaningfully to the conversation. For example, other participants in the conversation could provide feedback and recognition to those who contribute their own ideas and insights, and could avoid engaging with those who simply paste responses from language models without providing any additional value. Over time, this could help to establish a culture of active and meaningful participation in discussions, and could discourage the use of language models as a substitute for real human engagement.

effectively, ChatGPT is advising us to use voting.
Frame.work? I rather have an ARM processor for the battery life but outside that it's a decent. Just the Linux support is lagging. Wish people would focus on support that type of far more open and repairable hardware instead of closed. That said, my macbook air m1 is the best laptop I ever had because of the battery life and solid hardware (and price... for the E999 I paid, there is nothing close even 2 years later). Frame.work with AMD + discrete Nvidia GPU I would buy, Frame.work with ARM I would buy, but the better part of the dream is that someone can make these boards and I can shove them in my existing frame.work. That's where we should be going.
Imagine living all his life deprived, depressed and impotent of his divine right to rule and suddenly break free from that depression at 77 after browsing Qanon memes.

I have similar opinion! Many people are not taking into account the fact that this learning technique significantly outscales the average in terms of numbers. While the very best may not be affected, the fact that it generates results that are on average or slightly below average is concerning. Additionally, its ability to imagine and contextually change random garbage means that there is already room for improvement. Given the compute and resources available to top labs, they will likely be able to add more context, which could exacerbate the problem.

To my knowledge, no other system has been able to retain context, imagine garbage, and refine it based on the given input context. For details, it can imagine a game, change the premise of the game and craft stories or lines based on the new context. It doesn't even have to be perfect. It is already capable of doing 60% job. Wait till it reaches 80%.

Now you do not have one skill, but you can have multitude of average looking skill on top of your own craft. Further, this thing provides a good entry point to dive into research and investigate. Just like how stable diffusion sparked curiosity on art culture, technicalities, photography, this can do it but on wider context and problems. Therefore, it is not the matter of will it, it is just the matter of when?
"Unless the deliveries are to high population density locations with a high density of pickup locations, home delivery the the most efficient way to shop in terms of resource usage. Anything that stops people getting in their car is a win. "

The point was that you already pass such places on your way to work or other errands, car or not that is way more efficient both for climate and human resources than having dedicated drivers doing stops at every single home on their route.

Don't confuse this with going to the mall.
What do you mean "by do I show him ChatGPT?". He'll eventually find about it by himself.
I am not very good with Python, so there is some chance I am doing something wrong. But my explanation of the results that I get is that PyTorch currently does not fully utilize FP16 + Metal or AMX when running on Apple Silicon. In contrast, my implementation stores the weights in 16-bit floating point precision (FP16) and also utilizes the AMX coprocessor through the Accelerate framework. As I mentioned in OP, the latter is very efficient for doing the matrix multiplications. According to my experiments, it is comparable in performance to running them on the Apple GPU via Metal.
No concerns about privacy issues? The Canadian iOS version of the app insists on running in background and complains of you disable precise location. This is slimy.

For the statement “people select for entropy minimization” to mean anything in this context, it has to be so 1) general and 2) metaphorical that it could be more plainly put as:

Tautologically, this is correct

The OpenAI free-for-all grift continues. (For now)

As soon as ChatGPT becomes paid, nearly all the toys built on it for free will shutdown like a house of cards, just like what happened with the Heroku grifters and leechers having a free ride for years.

It won't be free forever. But ChatGPT is here to stay unfortunately.

> At some point, you will hit a rock that nobody you know, even really smart people who have done this their whole lives, can jiggle. What do you do?

Keep working. Or leave it, come back after some time (hours, days, weeks, months... even years).

> Are people who do that basically experts at the little problems? Or is it like coding, where you can design a fairly large system and rely on the parts to come together one way or another? Because when I read a math text, it seems really quite dense with things that require a lot of details to be correct. If it's a house of cards spanning a hundred page thesis, how brittle is it?

I haven't worked too much in pure math research, but from my understanding it's a process of adding details. You have something you want to prove, and a base you start from. You have an intuition of what you need to be true in order to prove the thing, so start developing those proofs too. In the way you'll find you need certain conditions, and you might find that certain concepts reappear so you find it helpful to define them.

> Because when I read a math text, it seems really quite dense with things that require a lot of details to be correct. If it's a house of cards spanning a hundred page thesis, how brittle is it?

While technically it is a house of cards (i.e., if a proof is wrong everything that depends on it fails), most of the time you won't find such fundamental errors. Maybe a proof has some missing details that can be amended, or the same statement can be proven another way, or the theorem needs just tiny changes or extra conditions to be fixed.
So it looks like you have to pay $16 minimum for one of these 'anonymous numbers'. How can it be anonymous if you have to purchase the TON required to bid on them, and therefore have done KYC at an exchange or used your credit card?

This seems like a pretty big leap from true username sign-in, and I really like Telegram.

'Anonymous login' seems extremely misleading in this case.

Great! Personalized ads are not just a data protection issue, they simply are not reaching the goal they intend to reach. Some stranger gives me a link to a tank video, something which does not at all interest me, but I visit the link once, because I do not know it is about tanks. Now I get ads related to tanks. facepalm

The people who make ads should simply add upvote/downvote buttons, and users can inspect the list of most upvoted/downvoted ads. Make it a fucking game, why is it so hard?

Yeah, to circle back, as I understood you, type 2 do both, type 1 only memorization, and I called type 1 bad, because, like the question of this post, they can punish understanding. You say that's fine; I still say it's bad, but I guess it's just a difference of standards.

well see, the problem is those systems are all closed source and centralized through servers run by pimps. A FOSS protocol for remote manipulation of vibrational devices on N-axes is just the sort of thing needed to kick off a committee that'll spend the next ten years drafting a plan to decentralize vaginas.

[Edit: Also, blockchain! My GOD why has no one made a vibrator that only vibrates once a payment block is confirmed 6 times?]
I'm the complete opposite. I hate how hazy and dull "anti-reflective" displays look. I understand being opposed to reflection, but I'd much rather have a display that's as sharp as humanly possible.

To me it's kind of like washing your windows. Sure, it's fine if you don't do it. You can still see outside. The window works. You may even prefer that less light comes in if you're opposed to light for some reason. But once it's clean, you're really getting the full effect.
>The Puritan and the modern intellect-centered (technical, ideological, on social media a lot...) type person have something in common

As someone who is more read I care to be about the culture of early new england I feel very comfortable (and by comfortable, I mean I hate it and I think that it is a terrible trend) saying that the current crop of people who fancy themselves intellectuals and historical puritans have approximately the same politics. They have some radically different beliefs about acceptable behavior but the overarching fundamentals about right vs wrong and community, family and self line up very well. This is not a compliment.
> Secondly, it requires a development team to realise that just because they're good at programming computers it doesn't mean they're good at administering them.

That's a so annoying thing, I understand enough about admin stuff to understand that I have huge knowledge gaps but I'm seeing people all the time assuming they can securely administrate docents of servers while having less knowledge then I just because they made things somehow run (but then I also have seen more then just one or two really bad admins).

The worst case was someone who through because they have a doctor title in numerical math that and a (small) bit of programming/admin experience that they know what is needed to securely administrate a "private cloud" (cloud isn't quite the right term here,but good enough).

As expected it lead to the company being hacked due to some major security gaps in less then 2 years.
I suspect that this is why leetcode tests are so prevalent.

They basically test for distance from school, and not much else, as the algorithms aren’t really reflective of real-world work, which, as the article states, is really fairly simple “glue,” binding together prefab sections.

If someone is good at, and energized by, writing “from scratch,” and "learning the whole system," then they are actually not what you want. You want people that are good at rote, can learn fairly shallow APIs quickly, and are incurious as to why things work.
This post, and specially its inverted parabola plot, raise another very interesting question:

Using % virgins bucketed by IQ as a proxy for the attractiveness of intelligence is severely dumb. It requires that all of these individuals are equally chasing after non-virginityhood, which definitely is not the case. A more plausible explanation of the data is that smart people are more likely to not bang early, for reasons (of which, 1) there are many and two) smart ppl are probably more inclined to consider)

For a solopreneur that wants to start their own products immediately and thinks that having a full-time job is just delaying their dreams. Keep calm, it’s possible to have both, building your dream while having a full-time/part-time job.
They might. A professor (Jonathan Berger) from what I can gather surveyed each semester's students about which track they preferred, an uncompressed track, a memorex tape track or an mp3-compressed track. People got used to the compression artifacts and preferred them in some genres. Sadly I can't pull up a source better than a random blog post about it, since it's an older one and would necessitate a little more searching. (There is a radio interview with Berger about this somewhere)
