This is why it should be outlawed to call every ML model we have today "AI".

Those things are NOT artificial intelligence.

They are specific noise generators. They generate noise that is as similar as possible to noise it learned from, which match the input.

> I’m pretty skeptical that almost any “race to the bottom” scenarios are easily attributed to consumer behavior

I'm not.

Most consumers are fickle, irrational, and often price-sensitive. They buy the $20 blender from Walmart that has a motor that will release the blue smoke in 6 months rather than the $50 blender that will last 5 years of frequent usage. Sometimes this is because of the whole "being poor is expensive" thing, but many times it's not.

> except perhaps in cases of commoditization where consumers reject attempts to differentiate products based on things like branding.

I think this applies to airlines.

I roll my eyes when someone says "I will never fly Delta/United/Alaska/etc again" because if you joined in every person's boycott because of one or two bad experiences they had, you'd never fly. They all will have delays, cancellations, and lost luggage.

I have absolutely zero loyalty or avoidance to any airline. I just go to Google Flights and pick who has the cheapest itinerary that doesn't suck too bad.

Seems to be matching against one particular typeface, and is very sensitive to how similar what you write is to that typeface. The first thing I tried was a lowercase "a," which, in my handwriting, is a one-story "a," and it had no idea what it was. Likewise it guessed poorly at my lowercase "f" because the top of my "f" curves back down, and its doesn't, etc. Seems like it would benefit from a dataset with more variations on how various characters are written in practice.

Neat concept though!

I'm a big fan of pipedream, admirer of modal, and have played around with autocode. Telefunc is new to me; thanks for the pointer; it looks neat!

We're trying to be more lightweight and intuitive than autocode, more consumer-y and code-first than pipedream, less about ML than modal, and more browser-based than telefunc.

AI already has led to a rethinking of computer architectures, in which the conventional von Neumann structure is replaced by near-compute and at-memory floorplans.

Sorry, since the Pile and C4 https://huggingface.co/datasets/c4 (and, more generally, common crawl) and BigCode https://www.bigcode-project.org/ became available, this argument ceased being the real moat.

The real moat is more about the lack of concentrated compute, ML engineering, and, more generally, prosaic lack of political with outside a few orgs.
I always wondered why it bothers returning the first result if it can tell it's wrong 30 seconds later if you ask it again "I think that's wrong".

Why not do make the function that outputs answers also feed itself "is this actually right/are you sure/is this not wrong"? Too expensive? Giant loop?

But I think that's what truly makes it "engineering." Programming and solving problems are fun in a vacuum but tech is just a lot more than that. Being able to produce a solution to a problem today doesn't mean that the same solution will work tomorrow. That's why we have to _engineer_ a solution, not just produce one.

I'd argue this is true of any engineering discipline. For example consider this analogy: we build bridges to solve the problem of being unable to cross to the other side. But we could also solve this with, say, a boat, to paddle ourselves across the body of water instead; in fact, that's a much more immediate solution that solves the exact same problem. But is it sustainable? Is it scalable? Can it handle traffic? To address these concerns, we _engineer_ a bridge.

Software that's meant to service a lot of people can't just be written to solve a particular problem today -- it must be _engineered_ so that it's future-proof, which is to say, easy to scale, easy to read, easy to refactor, etc. So often the simplest programming challenges become particularly difficult and often interesting engineering challenges.

Finally, to actually answer your question, it entirely depends on the company, the size of the team, and the commitment to code quality and engineering that that team has. Working at Google on the search team, for example, wouldn't be a great fit for you because every line of code you write has to be engineered! But working at a startup might.

But this comes with tradeoffs. Often times, the solution you write will have to be rewritten if you want your product to succeed. Refactoring and re-architecting things are a necessary evil as technology, hardware, and languages + frameworks change over time. I've worked at places where I've found myself repeatedly having to work on the same things over and over again because of how poorly engineered they are! If you enjoy programming and solving new problems and you want to have a career doing that where presumably you're building some sort of product, you have to engineer at least somewhat reasonable solutions today so that you can work on something new, exciting, and cool tomorrow.
But we can also pay for good, or expensive pizza, and we will find the box remains the same. If it were simply consumer preferences, then we’d expect this to no longer be the case as we enter more price-agnostic tiers of consumerism.

Unless of course no one cares about the box, so the increased cost literally does nothing, but that just means the improved boxes are not actually an improvement.

More specifically, don’t look at the market as a single unit, but as various buckets with various equilibriums. We expect Mercedes to target the equilibrium point… but not of the entire market (that’s what Jettas and Camrys are for) but rather their niche.

I think the number here may be important. Probably a Dunbar’s number thing.

I’ve seen monorepos scale up to about ~100 engineers (maybe 150 or 10-20 teams?) in a good eng culture.

After that, actors become unpredictable. I’d bet monolithic repos get out of hand and are better off splintering at that point.

My intuition is that splitting repos with fewer than 100 to 150 active contributors is a mistake.
The missing bit is language tooling. The regular floating point API exposed by most languages don’t force handling of NaNs.

The benefit of the option type is not necessarily just the extra value, but also the fact that the API that forces you to handle the None value. It’s the difference between null and Option.

Even if the API was better, I think there’s value in expressing it as Option<FloatGuaranteedToNotBeNaN> which compiles down to using NaNs for the extra value to keep it similar to other Option specialisations and not have to remember about this special primitive type that has option built in.
> American society (or at least the elites) seems totally engulfed by extreme puritanism, and happy to impose it on the rest of us (why can't we have porn apps on the iPhone, when there's porn made by perfectly legal companies who pay their workers and their taxes?)

I don't think there's as much puritanism as you think. For companies there's fear of losing money through bad press. If there was more money to be made in allowing "bad" things to be said in ChatGPT then that will certainly come. It's all walking on eggshells until 10 years from now when quarterly results aren't looking so good. The reason there's no porn on the iPhone is because they want to sell devices to the entire family and it's much easier to moderate.

I'm going to take a guess and say the elite are far more hedonistic than the average citizen.

How can a stifling, boring software engineering process be changed into a fun programming process?

This is a question that came up a number of times when I worked at a company where the developers were not enjoying working there.
I'm skeptic how long this will last unless they bring out some cutting-edge innovations. I frankly used and loved Docker Desktop for a long time because it was the easiest way to get going and I believe even k8s is included now which is great for hobbyists and those who just want to get things done. But, I've been annoyed by the UX changes and the push to login to docker hub.

While in 2023, there are most certainly great alternatives that are relatively easy to install from the terminal and get going, I guess there's not yet a definitive replacement that comes with the GUI too. Best I can think of is Podman Desktop Companion[1] but not sure how well this works.

Use the flyover feature and segment leaderboards to identify users active in your area, then check which clubs they have joined. Some of those clubs might have a weekly group ride either listed as a Strava event, or on a linked web site or Facebook group.

Many bike shops also organize a weekly group ride as a marketing strategy. If you're already coming there to ride then there's a good chance you'll buy something or use their mechanic service.
> Working software over comprehensive documentation

This means something a little different. It wasn't talking about "end-user" documentation. Rather, it meant "product specifications." Do you need to design the system upfront in UML before you start writing code? You may still need something like a whiteboard sketch or something similar, but that wouldn't be "comprehensive."
I paid for a house for myself, and one for my family with lisp, oh and a small cabin in the woods and a couple touring motorcycles. It was clojure specifically. It was precisely the automated reasoning and expert system you say is not the same kind of AI. We did some of that too, but it was peripheral and at most was an input and support for the captured and encoded and refined knowledge of human experts. That project helped pay for many houses and send kids to college, and otherwise help hundreds make a living.

Before that, I did some java and ruby, which was fun and helped pay rent. But before that I helped pay for many houses and even apartment buildings with Common Lisp. That project has paid for houses and school and living for many dozens of people over the last 20 years. It's still going.

I am not interesting in conquering anything, or winning anything, or what momentum or the power law, or economies of scale, or momentum or other efficiencies of industrial software production. People trot out those arguments all the time to explain why something can't be done, or why they can't do what they want to do, or why something they hate is winning or inevitable.

Believe in yourself and your compatriots, and if you wanna do it with lisp, find some better compatriots.

Cheers.
While I agree that these large language models are not 'artificially intelligent' - I call them machine learning models, no more and no less - the question does rise what intelligence actually is. In what way does our mental meandering differ from that of a deep model, and what makes our mental processes be described as 'thoughts' while those of the server-under-the-stairs are mere 'calculations' producing 'shaped noise'?

From the list, the WP stands out as not concentrating on financial coverage. Neither does NYT. AP and Reuters are general coverage, but with fairly solid business interests.

CNN, ABC, Fox, USA Today are all missing, from national news, but I'm not sure I'd expect them to get into this. Fox Business should be on the list, but redundant to WSJ.

But at some point I imagine the list of parties becomes cumbersome. Maybe it was just the first six to click on the discord invite.

I agree in principle, but the reality is that we're facing a near future where the output of ML models is indistinguishable from the output of an AI. So if we just replace "AI" with "ML" in all these discussions about ethics, there will be some questions worth considering.

That said, the question of "why doesn't ChatGPT caveat every single response with a reminder that it might be inaccurate" doesn't seem like a meaningful or important discussion.

Well deserved. Nice to see gov dollars going to better folks than the usual suspects.
I think the intuition that, in a large enough system, simple new features (from business pov) should be easy to implement is justified. So I always try my hardest to agree. While the code is messy, there must be elements of what I need to implement for a new feature already in there somewhere. Somebody solved a similar problem, or the feature would be too novel and quite divorced from the rest of the system to call it simple. I search for those elements first. Write some tests around them, extract functions/methods, classes, modules, services , whatever really, with those elements. That is my 'refactoring'. Now I reassembly those elements for the new feature. This is usually done with just a few more lines of code. I am very suspicious of refactoring that does now have a new feature implementation at the end of it. I am very suspicious of developers that ask for refactoring iterations. They end up rewriting at least parts of the system. And that, some of us agree, is the worst thing you could do.
Can't know until you find out though.
Guess there will be a short window where the regular joe will finally get the upper hand until this door is closed once the establishment also adds their own AI to counter this loophole.

Same thing happened with the rise of tech jobs which opened up an avenue for a path to the upper middle class when pretty much all other avenues to a dignified living were destroyed. The elites are doing everything they can to close this door(things such as CEOs looking to replicate Twitter if it ends up being successful).

I dislike now that everything seems to be hacking around frameworks and dependencies, people don't want to (or can't) write code anymore. This is of course a rant, but you get the point. The following in a contrived example, just mentally replace it with whatever horror you've seen.

There's an awful lot of very nice good quality libraries, frameworks and 3rd party code that I'm very grateful for. But there's also a lot of hacky stuff around that people blindly import as dependencies. Then it becomes someones else headache (mine!) to deal with it.

I get a task to add a feature which isn't supported by the library that the new dev imported into the system. Turns out this library was someone's introduction to the C language and they decided to publish it.

It pipes unhygienic user input straight to system calls and has boundary issues. It's mostly one function with a lot of conditional checks on arguments. There are three copies of the source file, one for each supported platform.

I'm left with a insane task, PTSD and a deadline on Friday.

Do I just pretend I didn't see that and hack in another feature? No.

Do I tell the boss the problem? Yes. Will it delay the release? No, there's a demo on Monday and we have to release on Friday. Why Friday, we shouldn't release on Fridays!
There's been 2x as much time between today and that article, as between that article and WotC's founding. It's not relevant to the issues today, and the author paints an extremely rose-tinted picture of the period.

I care more about this website and the quality of discourse on it (since that's all there is to it) than I care about what Polygon opinion piece writers think about being offended on the behalf of others over fantasy writing—you seem to have these priorities reversed, hence your ongoing "aha, I baited you into replying to me" schtick, which is not interesting, curious, intellectually-stimulating discourse, and neither is "just read these articles I didn't write in order to learn what my opinion is so I can argue with you about that instead of mocking you for replying to me."
