> In that case they make their money back on fees for late payments.

Not primarily accurate; several BNPL providers don't even have a late payment fee. BNPL manufactures ~25% APR debt out of 0% consumer contribution and ~6% merchant discount (interchange) which, since BNPL payments revolve very quickly, annualizes quite healthily. The primary source of revenue to the BNPL provider was historically keeping a portion of the discount for themselves; the rest compensates the capital provider, who is usually not the BNPL itself.

From this comes a fairly important realization that if you don't have a second party (the business) funding the cost of credit, or if the extension of credit is for a weighted average of longer than 3 weeks, it is in fact quite difficult to provide unsecured credit to the general public at ~5%.
>I would greatly appreciate a moratorium on this genre of article until there is compelling accompanying evidence that a meaningful portion of ChatGPT's users are unaware of these shortcomings. I have yet to encounter or even hear of a non-technical person playing around with ChatGPT without stumbling into the type of confidently-stated absurdities and half-truths displayed in this article, and embracing that as a limitation of the tool.

There was the chatGPT program for reviewing legal documents that the creator posted here weeks ago. Several people pointed out the dangerous shortcomings in the application, to which the creator completely ignored (it got the entire directionality of the ycombinator SAFE wrong, among other things) and numerous posters exclaimed things like "going to use this on my lease!". so, I think you are being a bit disingenuous with this whole "it's just wikipedia" thing and pretending like no one would use it ignorantly. It's just obviously not true and that's perusing comments here.

I think this headline is a bit sensationalized. Dr. Su's quote in the article says nothing about the undershipping being "to maintain high prices". Retailers are likely just not interested in carrying large amounts of stock in a precarious market.

Yeah, in my experimenting with ChatGPT, it seems quite good at condensing factual information where there's not much chance that people will making things up online.

The thing is that this doesn't extend to situations where, say, a common summary of a topic isn't true when one looks at things in more detail.

For example, Earnest Hemingway is know for "short, concise sentences" and ChatGPT will give this description when asked about his style. But Hemingway in fact used complicate compound sentences fairly frequently - sentences by that a Strunk and White style definition should be broken up. ChatGPT will not admit this even when prompted (though I think most actual critics say this), and it will recommend the long sample sentence I give it be broken up.

> Case is in a bar called the Chatsubo, a place for professional expatriates. He is talking to the bartender, Ratz, who has a prosthetic arm. Ratz and Case joke around and then a prostitute who was sitting next to Case leaves. Suddenly, a drunken Australian starts talking about how the Chinese invented nerve-splicing. This causes Case to become bitter and he expresses his feelings to his glass. This passage paints a vivid picture of the atmosphere in the bar and the characters that inhabit it. The interesting detail is that Ratz has a prosthetic arm, which is a unique detail that adds to the atmosphere of the bar

The results are interesting. The in-production use-case, where the tech will be most reliable, not evident.

Edit:

It seems (also seeing the "Key moments" section) that elemental attempts to understand the details (and structure) of the text should output reliability values, and employ them with importance towards the final output.

Edit2:

It seems from further tests that the "understanding" may be very limited, and that the "trick" is more in terms of "trying to identify salient parts and present them reformulated - without attempting to understand them".

Edit3:

It seems that the attempt of identification of salient points is confirmed as a main mechanism - but, in absence of understanding, the re-formulation just degrades information. For example: the original being, «Bronze is the first metal that gets its own age, which began around 3300 BCE in Mesopotamia. Other metals were certainly in use before it — especially copper — but the addition of a small amount of tin to existing copper technology changed everything. Bronze was a step up in hardness, durability, and resistance to corrosion [...]», the summary «Bronze is the first metal to have its own age, beginning around 3300 BCE in Mesopotamia. It was a step up in hardness, durability, and resistance to corrosion» betrays faults in changing the initial 'gets' to 'have', and in missing that those qualities of bronze are there in comparison to copper.

Why would one want to exclude them? Maybe one of them has a pretty good idea because the environment makes him/her think a lot about it, for years.

I know it may be due to some rules which are typical when there's some prize to win like when collecting some supermarket points or whatever, but in this case? There's more to win for ESA than just a good design.

I mentioned two extremes.

A best friend, by definition, is one of the people you choose to trust the most. If you want to replace it with someone else significant in your life, by all means, it doesn’t change the point in any way shape or form.

A random company is the other end of the extreme, it’s an example of a very limited relationship.

The point is that the bigger your relationship, the more you’d entrust them with secrets. Secrets like your real identity. It’s a pretty basic and obvious concept.

Yes, banks do net settlement with each other. They tally up all the debits and credits on both sides and then make a single transfer to settle between each other. Say Bank A owes Bank B $200, and Bank B owes Bank A $150. Bank A will send Bank B $50, as that is the net amount after subtracting 150 from 200.

It seems like the $200/mo plan and below are subsidized by their marketing budget, and the various ToS terms are there to give them discretion over whether those users are worth it or not: either low-cost users who are using too many resources, or users who they think they can charge more.

I investigated Cloudflare and the $200/mo plan seemed to good to be true so I contacted sales who verified that yes, it was too good to be true and my usage of the $200/mo plan would violate their ToS. They initially quoted $5k/mo over the phone, and then came back with a formal quote with a number much higher than that.

My take is that Cloudflare's product is so good that they can get away with any kind of sales practices they want. It's like shooting fish in a barrel: just analyze customers on the $200/mo tier and find the ones that look like they could spend way more. It's not even wrong in concept: sales upselling is SOP, and the low-cost tiers provide a lot of value to people who couldn't otherwise afford what they're offering. But the combination of the two sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

AWS doesn't have transparent pricing either, but in a different way. Yes, you can use more and more bandwidth and know exactly what you'll get charged, but once you get to Cloudflare Enterprise levels of bandwidth the AWS sticker prices would be astronomical and everyone negotiates non-transparent lower rates.

> How can it do merges in space (much) smaller than the input.

That's part of it. More specifically I'm interested in the dynamic nature of the space overhead. In the video you linked, from 10 to 12 seconds, it looks like the algorithm is using about n/4 scratch space. But for larger arrays, it's bounded at n/8. Is that done by further recursing merges for larger merge sizes? Is the number of recursive layers needed to do a big merge determined by the size of the input, or the size of the scratch space?

I see that try_merge_into_scratch will fail when the scratch space isn't big enough, which mostly answers my question https://github.com/orlp/glidesort/blob/master/src/physical_m.... But I'm still not sure how that failure causes the overall algorithm to change

(I have been trying to ask about how glidesort uses the preallocated scratch space internally, not how it interfaces with system memory and system allocators.)
>> There are a lot of hard lessons behind requiring mandatory investigation of credible claims.

>Worth keeping in mind that companies are always primarily trying to cover their backs and these policies often reflect that.

Your comment was a fair one when it comes to corporations, but I was thinking of churches and community groups more like EA than corporations. Bad actors thrive in secrecy, particularly when they can use their power to create repercussions for people reporting bad acts, creating a culture of silence. Mandatory investigation is one of the few effective ways to resolve that. That's why it's the policy and/or law in many circumstances.

If my group had the same policy as EA, I would be very uncomfortable with it.

> Effective Altruism is just a modern iteration of a thing that's been around for a very long time.

I do not believe utilitarianism is sound, because its logic can be easily used to justify some obviously horrible things. However the framework appeals very strongly to "rationalist" type people.
"Effective Altruism" is one of those things like "All Lives Matter" where what it says on the box is not reflective of the way that people who identify with the ideology practice it.

Aside from all other implications, letting each client render the same stuff is a massive waste of energy and compute.

See my other comments - the fed has been intervening as part of QE since ‘07-‘09 and until recently. they gradually tapered then stopped Dec ‘22. No surprise that mortgage rates started doing weird stuff about then eh?

Maybe you should stop thinking that the working class is stupid and start thinking about why they rejected unions.

There are some pretty crappy bloated client-side apps but when it's done well and it is appropriate for the app in question, it's amazing.

I've been playing novelai.net text generation and I think their app is mostly client-side. It's one of the most responsive and fast UIs I've seen.

Also, the article has this sentence: "Performant frameworks that care about user experience will send exactly what's needed to the client, and nothing more. " Ironically, a mostly client-side app that's only loaded once, cached, and is careful about when to request something from the server, might be more bandwidth friendly than a mostly server-side app.
