Clarke's third law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Most people don't understand that ChatGPT has no idea what they're talking about. It lacks it's own thought and heuristic patterns, and only gives you the most-likely response to your prompt. People don't know that though, so they think the Mechanical Turk is actually playing chess.

I mostly agree with the headline here. ChatGPT is hardly any more innovative than a Markov chain.
Decade ago, definitely not. But the answer to that question, time aside, is, well, GPT-3. No doubt ChatGPT is better, but it does seem like a decent bit of the improvement was UX related, since with the right prompts people have shown similarly miraculous output from GPT-3.

Of course, I'm pretty sure the quoted person is referring to the fact that Google and others likely have similarly capable LLMs already that they simply won't release the models for. I can see the argument that new architectures and designs can be innovative, but that simply being the one to throw a million dollars of compute time into training is much less so, if that's the kind of argument.
I clarified the "claim" elsewhere in this thread, but since this position is on the table now:

I have no qualms helping to provide for people who need providing. So let's just suppose we do that with UBI. Now, UBI needs to be funded by someone. If you are funding UBI, what is the purpose of giving you back that money?
Beautiful!

I don't have an iPhone, but just from watching the demo videos I am impressed by the design and UX. Good luck!
Depends what you're prototyping. Rust is hard to beat for prototyping an interpreter, for example.
Gene by environment interactions are super important for understanding how genotypes affect fitness in context. Change your environment to the open ocean instead of on land, for example, and you can readily see how your genes now hurt your chances for survival instead of improve them.

That being said, there's a lot to the genetic compotent of disease risk beyond just changes to the sequence of protein coding genes. How much protein that gene produces can be affected by a number of factors, such as the presence of singe nucleotide polymorphisms (changes to one site in the DNA) that may be well outside the gene region in the genome, but are a binding region for a transcription factor or an enhancer that drives expression of that gene and therefore dramatically lowers (or increases) the protein produced. You can also have epigenetic changes that similarly effect gene expression, but these are not reflected anywhere in the genomic sequence since these represent changes to the proteins that package DNA in the nucleus, not to the DNA itself.

> I'm German, living in Berlin, and have wonderful friends who fit that description. They live full lives, and I couldn't care less about their German levels. They do enough good things with their time they put their energy into instead.

I know many people like that too (also in Berlin), and they usually get stressed out whenever they have to deal with their landlord, or any government agency, etc. In addition, there are still areas even in Berlin where the baker or shopkeeper will not speak English well enough. Finding doctors could also prove more difficult, and so on. And what if you have children at some point and they go to school? Unless you can afford some fancy private school, everything will be in German.

Sure, you can get by without German for a while - especially if you have friends who can deal with certain things for you. But you'll just really be very dependent on others and their goodwill instead of being in charge of your own life.

How accurate are depth gauges? (I see them in submarine movies all the time, but I don’t really know anything about them.). But if your depth gauge says 100 ft, and the sonar says the ice is 80 ft above you, then you should be able to estimate 20 ft. Also does the presence of ice affect the depth gauge? I’d think not, but I don’t know.

"Increasing numbers of people don't drink--which rules out bars."

It is possible to not drink alcohol at a bar and still have fun, but I also never liked bars to meet people.

And "clubs", no he did not meant a "hobby thing", but a place where you can dance and enjoy music.

Dancing is a very old way of hooking up.

Back in time it was the village dance, where the young people got close. And this still works, either in formal settings like a dance studio - or free style on a dance floor.

Dancing is body language and you can signal to other people, whether you are interested, or not. And then you get close, or apart.
Yup. I'm gonna give him UBI because figuring out why he shouldn't get any would cost too much.

And I'm gonna take the property tax to finance UBI but also to incentivise him to maybe sell some of his property to lower his property tax percentage. To reduce his ability to suck out UBI of his tenants from them.
Considering so many public, profitable tech companies saw their valuations go down by 50-70% in that same period, that still seems too little of a cut.

There's no artwork in the 1s and 0s. There's an artwork when you render it to a screen.

It is not a copyright infringement I go to Disney's website, download a JPEG, convert that JPEG to 1s and 0s, print just a bunch of 1s and 0s and not the image and not ascii art of the image, just like a printing press made up of just [1] and [0] character blocks, and sell that. Yes, the 1s and 0s are mathematically derived from the image but the image of 1s and 0s is not a visual derivative of the Disney image. That is, no one is going to buy a t-shirt of 1s and 0s instead of a Mickey t-shirt. Anyone can go to the Disney website and get those same 1s and 0s.

Again, anyone can go to the Disney website and get those same 1s and 0s, so this is not at all about access. This is about putting things on t-shirts and selling them.
By interesting papers you mean "paper" singular and it was conducted at a science center with no control.

> Target participants were 170 male-female couples (aged between 18 and 73, mean = 35.8, SD = 11.3). All couples reported to be heterosexual. We collected data and images from 333 couples who were visitors to a science exhibition centre and who responded positively to a face-to-face invitation to participate.

https://crowdview.ai - search engine for forums and discussion sites

Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?".

But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great content exists elsewhere. Lots of great information and conversations have moved elsewhere, and niche forums are still alive on the web! But it's impossible to find these places because they rank so poorly on Google. So I built a search engine across a curated list of these, making sure to remove any kind of SEO junk (blog spam, listicles, etc).

There's also a chrome extension that surfaces these results alongside Google, so you don't have to remember to keep coming back.

Please try it out and share any feedback! (and if you're interested in this topic, join the Slack)

Your wonderful friends are not reporting on German society back home. (An assumption I know)

I agree it is outrageous that the BBC correspondent could not speak Japanese
I don't think it's that they "left it running" like you would leave a backup app running... they literally left the entire disaster-recovery site up and running and live. Cermak (referred to in the article as the "backup") is an entire datacenter, hosting a running copy of the exchange to be used in a failover scenario.

You'd have to have more than 1 person involved to forget that DR is still active when completing these failover exercises and tests off-hours.
Is it? 1 Tik tok video doesn't really prove the point (seems to me it proves the opposite).

Also it depends what you mean by flirting. If you join a class and immediately start trying to pull every person of the opposite sex (or same sex if that's your thing), that just gives the vibe of being there for the wrong reason. If on the other hand you meet someone doing a thing you wanted to do anyway, and a friendship blossoms, that seems to be the point at which you start flirting.

Especially in the current case, it's an outcome only arrived at through force.
Entering and editing text on a small touchscreen with it is a pretty bad experience. The keyboard covers the text, linebreaks can't be entered without pasting, viewing the output requires closing the keyboard. None of these are problems to the same degree in say Discord's mobile/tablet UI.
And I don't think anyone here has an issue with DoNotPay providing pre-trial advice and tips for someone defending themselves. It's bringing that into the courtroom that crosses a line from defending yourself to hiring an AI lawyer, and that line is where I'm very uncomfortable.

> It is assumed that ad spending will always be worth it

This is mostly true. If it wasn't worth it, businesses wouldn't spend money on it. At my last startup we spent money on ads that were worth it, for us, so we stopped. We also found ads that were worth it, so we spent more.

> ad revenue will always increase

Ad revenue is cyclical, it's often the first thing to get cut and the first thing to come back, but it's always going to be there in some form barring a completely new economy.

> the market for digital advertising and targeted digital advertising in particular will always be large enough to support the behemoth that it is today.

Advertising shifts around from time to time (e.g. print->TV->online), but it seems unlikely that it's not going to be digital for the foreseeable future, and targeted will likely always outperform non-targeted. That's not to say it will stay at any particular company/property/app/etc. but unfortunately at this stage it's probably only going to concentrate and migrate from one behemoth to another like it has for most of the history of the industry.

I'm curious: Why not set up multiple clusters for this?
> Or the society as a whole just doesn't know some rather simple to make and simple to understand actions?

Yes, society as a whole does not care in the least about giving people viable social "scripts" by which they might get to know each other and pursue intimacy in safe, healthy and effective ways.

(Of course, the consequences of this lack become all the more apparent when ludicrous excuses are put forth to minimize or justify serious coercive and predatory behavior. Teach people to relate to each other in better ways, and you'll also deprive dangerous predators of the excuses they like to fall back on.)
You shouldn't assume this. Last I checked, HN was about 50% in the US, but then a lot of HN users in the US aren't necessarily American, and there are also Americans abroad.

> pass rock hard stool once every 3ish days.

I go once every 3 days, sometimes even 4, without any drama. I quite like the schedule and think it saves me a lot of time. I believe what makes it work is that I drink ~1.5 liters of tea every day, on top of the water I get from one meal per day plus some snacks here and there.

I used to be constantly bloated and extremely gassy. But no longer since I stopped going to restaurants and started eating home-cooked meals made from fresh ingredients. Turns out my stomach is just allergic to crappy ingredients restaurants like to put into our food.

I take zero medication.

Hope you find your way soon to better gut health!

Can't test your app since I can't breathe

It's probably better than the existing alternative. Which is roughly plead guilty because you don't have money to pay a lawyer. Or don't sue someone because you don't have money to pay a lawyer.
Fact checking an AI is still massively easier than finding and reading all the precedent yourself. Real lawyers of course already know the important precedent in the areas they deal in, and they still have teams behind the scene to search out more that might apply, and then only read the ones the team says look important.

Of course there could be a difference between an reading all the cases an AI says are important and actually finding the important cases including ones the AI didn't point you at. However this is not what the bet was about.
Pulling down gems is a bit of a compilation, which could benefit, unless you're already installing gems into a volume you include in the Docker container via docker compose etc. Additionally, what it does compile can be fairly slow (like nokogiri).
The last example looks a lot like Applicative from Haskell, of course it’s different, but it’s almost there for better or for worse.
Human artists/writers are influenced by each other all the time.

The flaw in this argument is the word "artist". If you remove all the pictures from the data source, the AI isnt capable of generating anything. Because it's not an artist.

Telling a depressed person to just start exercising, eating well, and sleeping sufficiently is really not significantly more helpful than telling them to just be happier.
I'm sure they are aware of the situation as well as their own biological clock and are acting according to their desires. Unfortunately we have to just let people make their own decisions in the realm of dating. Maybe the future is common egg freezing or artificial wombs and people can delay serious families until their 40s or 50s.
At the same time, there's only so much to improve your external situation, especially if you are dealing with hard facts sort of situations (e.g. chronic health problems or terminal illness, poverty). If your source of depression is something external you can do something to improve, your therapist will definitely recommend you moving away from whatever that is (e.g. a toxic work environment or an abusive partner). The reason why we encourage cbt is that it gives you some tools in the mean time, as sometimes the external factors driving your depression are going to be difficult or impossible to change.
Not all of them... only the most egregious.
It’s also not in their best interest to let things get out of control. Free markets ebb and flow.

I don’t know of any other platform that has a markedly better vetting process, Walmart, eBay, AliExpress, Wish, etc all have much the same or worse issues with this. But they all seam to be very pro consumer when it comes to returns, none seem to ask any questions.

Maybe it’s not a conspiracy but rather an industry wide problem of playing wack-a-mole with scammers, that every platform is continually dealing with.
That's going to get very difficult as more and more games transition to download only and the disk/cartridge is essentially just the license key.
Interesting my intention was to be able to see roughly what proportion of readers held the same opinion of the commenter.
I don't think he's underestimating the UX/design piece, I think it's just outside of the scope of what he's talking about. It seems pretty clear to me that his statement is talking about the underlying AI technology (which makes sense given his background).

And in any case, I wouldn't call anything about the UX or design here innovative - it's obviously a huge improvement in terms of usability, but a chat UI is a pretty well-established thing.
Not really when the terms of private financing during the bull run were very generous for valuations and terms.

There are big downsides to being public, including all the regulatory requirements and pandering to institutional investors.

Now the bull market is over and private money is tighter, they don't really have a choice but to raise money publicly.
I mean, ChatGPT isn't even innovative for OpenAI's team. In terms of raw language capabilities it's not much more effective as GPT-3, which passed the HN Turing test almost a year before. Some of the credit goes to the fact that Dall-E 2 got everyone looking at OpenAI (and wrt Dall-E I'm personally not aware of any comparable work done anywhere else), a lot of the credit goes to the fact that OpenAI was willing to put it out there, and the work they did to make ChatGPT much safer really doesn't get acknowledged enough (on release, ChatGPT would refuse to produce potentially hateful/harmful text, and eventually a lot of the workarounds got patched as well).

It's probably not fair to characterize the discourse around ChatGPT as treating it as a revolutionary bit of tech, lay people are taking note because 1) people they know are actually using it and 2) the interface really is intuitive - literally anyone knows how to use a chatbot.
Probably because they're not letting me bang them out of politeness.
At least it shows Yann LeCun and Gary Marcus can agree on some things. Thankfully someone has gone full circle and had ChatGPT construct a rap battle between those minds:

You may be using relatively low temperatures. Also, the buildup is not typically on the pans but around them on the stove, counter, walls, and anywhere else that splatter from frying lands. In any case, you represent at most one anecdotal data point while there is a whole industry geared to handling this stuff. I have done a couple of thousand house cleanings or so in my career so I think my experience may have a weight that yours lacks.
