Absolutely agreeing that true “intelligence” would come from such a synthesis - it also loosely matches what we know from cognitive psychology. We won’t go anywhere without rigorously addressing knowledge representation and reasoning - unlike humans, language is the only faculty ChatGPT possesses (and the power of language has been oversold for a while).

The cynic in me would rather have the backlash (and a rude awakening for the industry), than the looming hyper-normalization of convincing-sounding bullshit/plagiarism/etc (and new, more convoluted forms of “saying the magic words to make the algorithm behave”) in the near future.

(Relatedly: Say what you will about the rationalist community, they appear to have really thought about a lot of this.)

> zero processing fees

This isn't true for a business. For business accounts with many incoming transactions many banks charge a small amount. Way less than PayPal and such, but more than zero. With Deutsche Bank for instance 0.06€/transaction.
Banks withhold fees for cards however, of the order of 2%

The process is called "democracy". X finishes school and starts working for company Y. X joins politics. X is voted or named in a political position where it favours the company Y. After the political career X is hired again by the company Y or by a "think tank" sponsored by the company Y.

as an aside I feel like you're misusing the notion of what a Pollyanna is: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/pollyan... “a person who is constantly or excessively optimistic”

To be a Pollyanna (I think) is to be Panglossian: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Panglossian “marked by the view that all is for the best in this best of possible worlds : excessively optimistic”

This sort of thinking goes back to Leibniz (and probably a lot further) “We live in the best of all possible worlds” https://www.britannica.com/topic/best-of-all-possible-worlds

So to be a Pollyanna is to have a certain (overly?) (irrationally?) optimistic towards ones situation in life and perhaps even the nature of human suffering in general. To be contrasted with the Buddhist thought which asserts that basically life is suffering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Noble_Truths

Anyway, back to your belief that (mathematical) Platonism and (mathematical Constructivism can be reconciled.

So a hard-core mathematical Platonist believes – if I am not mischaracterising their position – that things like numbers are actually existing entities that we discover and that even if we humans had never existed that numbers would have or that if we humans cease existing that numbers will continue to exist. So mathematical progress is a progress of discovery, not creation. A hardcore mathematical Constructivist believes that if it were not for us numbers would not exist, the very idea of number would be unthinkable, we think numbers into being. A radical Constructivist (like me) does not believe in actually existing infinities or infinitesimals and so does not believe in actually existing unbounded real numbers like irrationals and transcendentals except in a symbolic or algorithmic sense.

Can these two positions be reconciled? Can we optimistically reconcile them. I think not. But I do think that the slighter weaker proposition that certain formal entities like numbers are necessary, I'm going to say, "truths" in that the nature of the universe necessitates certain types of mathematical entities such that once there are a sufficient class of thinking things to think them they'll pop into being, so to speak.

I am open to correction on any point. I know that my personal position is more-or-less anathema to most mathematicians I've had the pleasure of sharing these ideas with (as in I've gotten into heated drunken debates/arguments about this stuff).
I have never owned a credit card, but have owned cards issued by five different countries, and I never had a problem where specifically credit card was required as a payment. Including Germany, where exists a number of neobanks that have free accounts which include a debit card.

Thinking about it, I haven't met anyone in my life that doesn't have a card (regardless whether it is debit or credit).
Actually, ‘cliche’ is an extremely good evaluation:

It is assessing the quality of the output as if a human had made it. Most of human writing is cliche. Expecting it to produce good output is, as you say, a matter of prompt engineering.
I mean, that's literally how software development works. Its not like your human first draft compiles on the first run either.
Toughen up. Why do you need the validation of someone who you know nothing about, never gonna see him again once you leave the premises, just happen to be working under the same roof? Critique that gives you insight about how you can become better has much more value.

You have to be aware of your own abilities. If you can't decide whether what you do is good or bad in terms of quality, then you are missing proper foundations.

It's like learning to ride a motorcycle. If you feel anxious while riding, even after you passed your test, it means that you have not yet mastered the art of riding, That's why your brain is in a state of constant fear. This means that you need more practice until this feeling disappears and it becomes natural to ride the bike without fear.

> surprised if the interchange fees don't net out negative for the biller

That's worth investigating!

Now in a fictional, adversarial way, you can think of a bot exploiting this discrepancy to bankrupt a competitor: create dozens of fake accounts, consume just shy of $0.01 of resources, and have the platform pays 30x more in payment fees (public Stripe price is 30¢/transaction).

To incur a net loss of $1,000,000, you’ll have to find an antagonist ready to create 3,448,276 accounts (1_000_000 / (0.30 - 0.01)), each with their own identity and mean of payment, for a total of $34,482.76.

Fortunately this is highly impractical and will be caught real fast by your internal anti-abuse systems (you have those in place right?).
> So a leaky card is better because you have chargeback.

Yup, I will still stick to my point.

Someone stole my card? Not super convenient, but I do not lose any single penny. All will be back on my bank account.

Someone stole my Paypal password (on the phishing site)? It is my problem, Paypal will not refund it to me.

I bought some travel trip but travel agency did not fulfilled its obligations?

With credit card and chargeback I have all money back (and travel agency has their deal with payment company ceased).

With Paypal this is my problem and Paypal is not going to refund me any single cent.

Since my first chargeback request I don't hesitate to pay with cards at all. (And chargeback processing was faster than anyone expected: bank always contacts the other side to see their point of view and because other side doesn't want to loose their deal and go banckrupt, they send me money back on very same day)
People mention credit cards as alternatives, but forget paypal's ease of use. It's a lot of work to enter a credit card for small , mostly one-time payments. Paypal makes that easy, at least for me i tend to purchase more because of it.
This is really a problem with our linguistic use of the word "just" and the philosophical misunderstandings it creates.

A tornado is just wind. To argue a tornado is just wind though is really a rhetorical device to downplay a tornado. We are almost never searching for the truth with the word "just" in this way.

To argue chatGPT is JUST a probabilistic next token generator is exactly downplay its emergent properties. This shouldn't be terribly surprising since it is not like undergrads have to take a class in complex systems. I can remember foolishly thinking 15 years ago that the entire field of complex systems was basically a bogus subject. chatGPT clearly has scaling properties that you can't really say it is JUST a probabilistic next token generator. chatGPT is the emergent properties of the system as a whole.
a friend told me yesterday that he had tried to drink redbull on a work sprint a few months ago. they way he described it was pretty similar.

"I was working for 12 hours straight and i tried to lift my elbow but my body was shot to pieces. The brain was buzzing "i am fine, give me work, more work" but the body was essentially dead.

He called me after like 15 hours of working complaining that "i am going to die, what am i supposed to do, i can't stop working, i need to sleep". I had to call their family and force him to sleep.

"never again" he said to redbull

When ransomware attacks began, it was more typical to see the blast radius centered around a single user who did something stupid, like run an exe or enable macros.

But that’s not how it’s done on these large enterprise networks. Ransomware gangs will still use single user entry points, but the hackers will work quietly inside the network to escalate privileges and determine key servers that should be targeted first.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1096803/credit-card-and-... reports 38m credit cards, 121m debit cards. German population is 84m. So "most people don't have credit card" might be true but it's still a lot. I'd expect - without having data to back it up - the group using Github Sponsors (who know what Github is) have credit cards.
At least for me, PayPal is outgoing. Used to use it for almost 20 years. But when they started to randomly verify identity with SMS TAN code, I moved to ApplePay wherever possible, and am no longer willing to use PayPal.

Besides, at least in my area, banks are deploying debitcards finally, so there is actually no need for a classical credit card anymore either.

Good, everything that allows me to ditch PayPal is a step forward.

It would seem that, when you try too hard at being creative, chatgpt usually just loses it completely - in my experience, it often starts falling back on even worse cliches, or it stops making sense altogether. (Or it might just time out.)

There's a partial ban that covers some of the most sensitive areas, probably 90+% of the grouse moor burning that happened before, still happens. You can see reports at https://twitter.com/wildmoorsuk.

I agree with you and would rather not see grouse moor turned to solar farms. I'd love to see more moor rewilded, the work that Moors for the Future is doing is amazing. Grouse moors are very much touched and managed though. Gamekeepers seek to minimise foxes, stoats, raptors and trees.
Try installing the Space Exploration mod, and you can easily add an extra zero to that figure.
Exactly.

If you on principle refuse to take any medication or vaccine due to the fact that they almost all have rare, unstudied or potential side effects then that's totally fair. The human body is a very complex thing and every single one of us is different so it's basically impossible to truly know if a drug will have no rare side effects for some sub group. Or at least do extensive deep research on every single medication you take including supplements and over the counter things.

If you only do this for the covid vaccine due to reading too much fearmongering then that just means you're irrational.
They are aren’t that tied to Python.

Even if you think so, Python is really an easy language, and you can easily port the code to something else.

If you already have the basic ideas about the parts of a Neural Network pipeline, you can just search google "implement part-X in Y language", and you will get well written articles/tutorials.

Many learners/practitioners of Deep Learning, when they have the big enough picture, write an NN training loop in their favorite language(s) and post it online. I remember seeing a good enough "Neural Network in APL" playlist in YT. It implements every piece in APL and gains like 90%+ accuracy in MNIST.

I also remember seeing articles in Lisp (of course!), C, Elixir, and Clojure.

Finger check will usually only detect a huge prostate or rectal cancer(not other portions of the colon), or a rectal cancer just next to the anal canal.

Colonoscopy(can detect polyps BEFORE they become cancer, but more costly and hard for patient) is the gold standard for detecting colon cancer, along with fecal occult blood which is cheap and easier to do but will detect only more advanced cancers.
For prostate, the early detection and screening is usually using done using a PSA blood test.

To some extent, you are also "constructing" a memory every time you recall it. But the difference is, you have your somewhat reliable memory engrams, whereas Bing Chat has a very eloquent language model. If it can fool people, it can certainly "fool itself". (Well, even that is too much said. It doesn't care.)

It is very much like a person suffering from confabulation, pulling an endless string of stories from their language areal instead of from their memory banks.

There is one thread where Bing claims to have watched its developers through webcams which is hillarious (and the only reason I don't find it completely disturbing is that I roughly know how it works).

I mean this point is pretty much just homophobia. Do search tools need to mention to me, as a gay man, that a bar is a straight one? No. It's just a fucking bar.

The fact that the author saw fit to mention this is saddening, unless the prompt was "recommend me a bar in Mexico that isn't one that's filled with them gays".

«Platonism without Plato» : https://samzdat.com/2018/01/26/platonism-without-plato/

(Though it's perhaps worth it to start reading from one/two blogposts before that one.)
Not scam or even fad. It’s legit. However, details vary so I agree with the sibling that “design pattern” is the best classification for it.

I think it’s fair to say that the actor model is analogous to FP, but for distributed (and to a lesser extent multithreaded) computing. Just like FP has friction against imperative programming, there is a similar friction when interoping with traditional systems. Likewise, benefits pile up once you have some critical mass of subsystems that all use the actor model, where certain problems just go away.

I’m personally a big believer, it fits my mental model as I like to think about data flows first. That said, almost all systems today are request-response, so you have to either accept a certain amount of friction or embrace the much smaller ecosystem of message-based systems.

Just like regular programming is going more and more multi-paradigm, incorporating FP and others into mainstream langs, it seems like the distributed world is moving slowly in a multi-paradigm direction as well. For instance, databases and file systems are increasingly using message/event streams and sometimes exposing them directly to users.

I believe that the way you do this is protocol and dosing.

Remember we're not talking about your normal LD50 toxicity. It doesn't kill by metabolic disruption. It kills by turning the thing from organism into not organism.

If an organism survives it does so not by adapting its metabolism to the poison. It does so by enough of itself not being destroyed that it is able to rebuild.
Considering that the test doesn't require violation of the patient's body, I would not expect it to take extremely long.
It's really nice to see Clojure being adopted more and more by large companies, showing big results not only for statups. Clojure has been designed with this in mind, to let the old Lisp mindset behind.

I've talked to a fair number of mathematicians down through the years and the vast majority I've talked to are Platonists. Some have even thought about this stuff and know what Platonism means and assert that they are Platonists.

For me, once you read up on L.E.J. Brouwer's intuitionism and think through its consequences properly you can't be a Platonist, but that's just me – I undoubtedly have a prior more fundamental belief that makes me think this way. Like, I think it'd be difficult to be a (mathematical) Platonist and an atheist at one and the same time, but many mathematicians are.
