All of those things have better protection in traditional finance. Sure, they don't have credit card consumer protection, but they do have other protections.

Unless you're using blockchain financial instruments in order to do more blockchain stuff (the circular use case), the other options are better.

Trading oil futures doesn't need cryptocurrencies. And if you use it anyway then you expose yourself to additional risk not in traditional finance.

E.g. the difference between FTX shenanigans hurting investors (who are now being victim blamed for "not your keys, not your coin") and anyone financially reliant on Tether shenanigans (which includes all holders of BTC) is that Tether seems to be getting away with it, by so far not being subject to a liquidity check / bank run.
Of course this fails. OpenAI continuously states that ChatGPT:
1) Doesn't generate facts.
2) Shouldn't be used for anything useful.

However, your point is still a good one. If Microsoft places ChatGPT somewhere alongside Bing, it'd be easy to mistake it for fact.

In my opinion, this new tool is going to be learned by the public just like Google and generic search was learned by the public. There's a certain way to prompt the machine and we all have certain expectations of what the machine should return.

With ChatGPT, those input/output expectations are vastly different than web search, but people will learn it.
So.. I must say that GPT, and the current moment more broadly, are very exciting.

People are rushing around trying to find practical uses for ChatGPT. I think this time they'll finally start finding them, probably a lot of them. I think this is one of those dam bursting points. The difference between GPT3 and ChatGPT, to me, suggests a lot.

Writing code, writing documents, reading them... search... lots of things are about to change fast. The conversation leaked by this microsoft mole is happening in a lot of places. If you can't think of things worth trying to build with GPT... you need to take a bath and try again.^ Bonus points if you can get GPT to code it for you.

There are, absolutely, spectres hanging over this stuff. Monopoly, centralisation, nontrasparency is expected. Career anxiety. Skynet is not out of the question. Lots of reasons for trepidation. That said, ATM, I'm mostly excited. This technology is amazing, and it is about to spill out into the world.

^I want a reference book that works as a cascade. A table of contents (or title even) at the top end. Click in for a chapter abstract, then summary, etc. Concise at the top, detailed at the bottom.

I think the reason that they haven't seen adoption isn't that they're a scam, but rather because they're more expensive than traditional approaches (not quite sure why, or by what margins). However, since our attempts to replace freon with ever-more-exotic refrigerants seems to inevitably fall face-first into environmental disaster, it's possible that a non-greenhouse-gas approach could be regulated/subsidized into existence, if it's not too much more expensive.
The quote is technically wrong only in the "taking powers away from every single Parliament" part, as central banks are usually independent. As far as monetary policy goes, adopting euro is losing independence.

That might be a positive thing even just in the context of monetary policy, but that does not really make the quote incorrect.
> Someone needs to use laws or incentives to align those two - because if every home owner used one of todays heat pump systems, then the electricity grid would fail on the coldest days of the year.

I believe this is already required in Australia for some tech.

This is great but if one or all the parties in a commercial war decide that your product cannot cross a border, an open source design won't save your business.
I lived in the Bay Area after the first dotcom bust and before the second boom started. The parties were better then. Perhaps coincidentally, there were very few techies at them.
Exactly, and many bots exist today to mine user videos for the automated subtitle information. In other words, there's no escaping GPT from learning from any kind of medium.
This seems factually incorrect. It's hard to find consistent historical numbers but what I can find implies pretty steady double digit growth over the last decade or two.

If you have good sources that say otherwise, I'd love to see them.

> there are an awful lot of control tasks where one frame of doom every four seconds is much more performance than you actually need, like kindgren's examples in this talk: ddr memory initialization, logging, slow sensor data aggregation, and control planes; i'd add pid control, motor control waveform generation, and guitar pedals and other audio dsp applications (maybe using the serv core to orchestrate the activities of a larger dsp core, similar to how the s1 mp3 used a z80)

You can get proper 32 bit core for less than $1 these days, I can't see it competing. It has a niche, saving gates on FPGA, but that's about it

It being awfully slow also means it will be awful on power usage.

I think we should let this C era meme die, the manuals are often terrible. I'm currently working with the AWS SDK Python documentation and it's a hot pile of garbage from all points of view (UX, info architecture, technical detail, etc.).

Python lang docs are "kind-of-OK" but when someone raves about them I'm left scratching my head. Information is not always well-organized, examples are hit-and-miss, parameter and return types not always clear, etc.

Referencing docs as a programmer is generally a nightmare and a time sink, and it's the one use case where ChatGPT is slowly becoming indispensable crutch for me. I can ask for very specific examples that are not included in the docs, or that cannot be included in the docs, for example combinatorial in nature: "how can I mock this AWS SDK library by patching it with a context manager"? Occasionally it will hallucinate, but even if it gets it 8/10 times right - and it's higher than that in practice - it will prove revolutionary at least for this use case.

So he's talking about making 2 and 4 bit versions of this. I take it that means making it not-quite bit serial, but making it take 2 or 4 bits at a time? It would still have a 32-bit RISC V instruction set, right?
The fact that OpenAI already has public moderation APIs for detecting prompt safety, I'd guess there is a lot more internal work going on in determining what prompts to ignore, or what phrases of one's prompt to adjust to avoid responses like this.

I prefer text too but I feel like that's mostly because the videos are not information dense on purpose. They expand to whatever the youtube algorithm prefers at the time, which is about 10 minutes now. Ironically, tiktoks are more information dense but the search is completely useless.
A reward is not a constraint. In the language of modern ml, rewards 'encourage' models to produce certain constrained outputs. The actual outputs during inference can be arbitrarily poor in spite of the added 'reward' during training.
this is close to just straight up misinformation, but I'll point out the fundamental difference that you are ignoring in your analogy. You pay your union rep (via dues). It's not that you work for your union rep, it's that they work for you, just like you work for your company.
>>I find it weird that nobody in the US seems to look beyond their country or similar systems for different models regarding this.

because American law only allows for American Style Labor Unions, and changing American Law would be politically impossible as the American Style Labor Unions have outsized power in politics

The vast major of the money going to Ukraine is going through normal channels, saving the extra cost and risk of using cryptocurrencies. They need to buy things which are sold in stable currencies so adding a conversion fee usually cancels out the perceived benefits.

Zope was a Python project from the late 90s, and had quite a bit of attention and traction in the early cms/publishing days. That brought Python attention, and certainly gave it some mindshare in the late 90s.

already commonplace for employers to track mouse movement and the like for monitoring remote workers, sometimes to have video requirements as well (where video is not just another option to work with colleagues but a policy requirement so that managers/owners can surveil), because that's what they're able to track with the tech within a laptop. give them more sensors and they won't leave it to workers to decide (except to decide to leave those jobs in search of ones that surveil less). workers can organize against these conditions but it's not left to individual consent.
If not ChatGPT, do you know what it is using?
"Look what just happened to the railroad workers. The US government forced them back to work and gave everything to the companies." I'm sure the US government is going to step in at some point and force Activision to make a new CoD.
And the point is wrong if you have to wait 15 years and go bankrupt for excellent baseload (and whether the whole baseload thing makes sense at all is also a very good question) that may or may not work depending on water availability.

Especially if you have alternatives, and it looks like we could build a lot of renewables and storage combined with say green hydrogen or ammonia. With lower risk and gradually. And not spend the next 100 years and countless billions decommisioning them.
Even at the minimal scale, one is going to have quite a few app instances all over the world sooner or later. In such setting, a notion of regional proximity of any kind quickly becomes irrelevant.

Higher database round-trip times are fixed by using database stored procedures instead of making multitudes of tiny compound SQL queries.

This is just factually incorrect. Mondragon has 80k employees and 12 billion euros in revenue. Equal Exchange has 120 employees, $70 million in revenue and national scale distribution. There are absolutely worker cooperates successfully competing at scale.

They do have trouble getting financing in a Capitalist economy, but they would not be an issue in an economy based on them.

Personally, I think I think one worker one vote and strong social security is the resolution to the question posed above.
Large helicopters are not as difficult to fly as small ones, simply because the time constant of their instability is longer. This is similar to how it is easier to balance a broom on the tip of your finger than a pencil, and a pencil is in turn easier than a toothpick.

What else are they going to say in public? "Our plan is to engage in union-busting as much as we can legally get away with"? And what one company said is then compared to what another company actually did? Come on! This statement doesn't make MS an outlier, it's simply devoid of information content.

Even for non-FAANG, less-than-a-million-user business applications, there are two problems:
1. Your feature/function scope is not all fully defined at the start and is not static till the end of life. Software has to evolve with business. In this case, it is easier to build a loosely coupled shared nothing architecture that can scale easily than to build a shared-everything-all-in-one-binary monolith architecture.
2. Your customer base isn't one size fits all. You usually different growing businesses that need solution at different scale points but still with very high unit economics. This means you need a incremental scaling solution – this is where old-school big-chassis systems build blade scalable server architectures. But because of custom/proprietary backplane design they become unmanageably complex and buggy.

Instead, if you build an architecture that can scale the number of corporate users by adding cheap $2k pizza box 1u servers as the company grows, that's much more attractive. Also, you can keep your systems design flexible enough to recompile and take advantage of advancements in hardware tech every 18 months – this gives you better operating margins as your own business starts to grow.

`Float(str, exception: false)` returns either float or nil.
With all due respect, as someone that’s probably downvoted everything you’ve said on this thread, my reasons for doing so have nothing to do with your language preferences. Your comments are needlessly impassioned and vitriolic. I am not even remotely interested in the type of religious war discussion you are trying to foster.

I can honestly say with complete confidence that I’d feel this way regardless of what language you were talking about.

In addition to this though, as someone that writes Python / Django professionally and has done so for some time, my familiarity with the language gives me the necessarily insight to see where your experience is limited. I’ve seen a few inarguable factual inaccuracies (i.e. not based on opinion) in what you’ve said in a few comments. It seems obvious that when you engage with Python and Django you aren’t doing so all that willingly. But honestly your strength in your convictions puts me off getting into a back and forth with you to reach a shared understanding. The confidence with which you’re writing feels a bit misplaced.

Your overuse of hyperbole makes it hard to tell what you actually believe and what you’d genuinely argue for in a real-life professional context rather than behind a screen name on an Internet forum, so even if I wanted to engage in a back and forth I wouldn’t even know where to meet you.

This is a classic example of the loudest and most impassioned voices framing themselves as winning because people just don’t want to engage.

This is all to say before writing off downvoters are upset people on “the other team” which are lesser than you, consider the possibility that you’re probably throwing your weight around a bit too much and are creating an environment that’s generally unpleasant. I’ve enjoyed the tech community largely moving away from the “us vs them” mentality. Truth be told, none of this shit matters enough to warrant that sort of mentality. I feel like I’ve stepped back in time reading your comments. Not only are they unenjoyable to read, but I am not an iota more enlightened about the comparative benefits of Ruby vs Python. So I ask you…what’s actually your intention in commenting in the first place? The truthful answer to that question is why I’ll continue to downvote.

When i learned Ruby, it wasn't really a WTF for me - I just learned that '!' methods are destructive, while non-'!' aren't.

However, the destructiveness semantic has been significantly overloaded over the time, so each Ruby (Rails) project probably interprets them in a different way, and it ends up having arbitrary semantics.

I'm used to it, but I personally think that for the reason above, it's not a good syntax/semantic to have in a language.
> [improving battery tech]

This would be nice if it actually happens, but so far the new chemistries still have many unsolved fundamental issues, not to mention safety issues when increasing energy density further.

> [cost per mile / energy costs]

No arguments here, eventually EV running costs per vehicle will be cheaper. But there will probably be surge pricing for charging when renewable output is low. It won't be easy to manage that risk from a business perspective.

> [self-driving]

Sorry to be snarky, but weren't there supposed to be thousands of people's Teslas operating as robo taxis for 5 years now? I'll believe self-driving truck convoys when I see one operating without journalists or politicians watching.

Also, outside of your "power trailers" (see below) running the truck continuously like that would require battery swapping, which is a promising idea but also has a long list of unsolved problems (wear&tear, additional frames and braces required with swapable battery, cost of labour for swapping a truck's battery 4x per day).

> So the number of trucks will probably be irrelevant in the long run.

This left me dumbfounded. Double the traffic, double the CapEx, double the inspections/maintenance doesn't matter at all?

> [range extending trailers]

So your EV truck already lost 5+ tons of cargo space to a battery, now you wanna hitch an extra trailer (another 5~ tons for the frame and 5 tons for another battery. Since the max legal weight is 40 tons your range-extended Semi can now only transport around 10 tons of cargo compared to 25 tons for the most capable diesel trucks.
I'm late to add to this conversation, but one of the reasons Storj is open source is so that our customers can audit our code and end-to-end encryption to confirm that no backdoors exist.
