My company even bans us from working outside of the 40h work week...
So what's the solution?

4 day work week? Work from home on every possible situation? Flexible hours on every company? Free and good schools like in Finland? Free childcare for the little ones? Good public transportation so kids can move freely?

I think companies and governments will hemorrhage money if we ever do something like this. Oh no. Anyway.

I'm in!

Working on a hobby isn't the same as paid work. We don't sit here and say that folks going home and playing games are working. It is the same with side projects of any sort. These are hobbies. That they happen to line up with something you do for paid work is just coincidence. This is true even if you make money off of it from time to time.

Hobbies aren't work.

(Hobbies that have become your day job or are a significant portion of income are no longer hobbies)
It desired, I feel like it would be in the power of governments to regulate the use of high-performance accelerators to slow AI progress significantly. Training a large language model is no small feat, taking months or years of continuous data center compute. Sure, GPT-3 scale models are out of the bag, but you can slow down the progress.

And if they go after the financial incentives and ban using large language models in production, then the desire of the big tech labs to train them might go down anyway.

Whether that's desirable or not is the question in the article, but it does seem possible.

I understand his warning on ChatGPT. We opened pandora's box. At some point there will be a sentient AI and humanity as we know it will be destroyed. As we see now with the current climate issues; we simply ignore the warnings and continue. I see no reason to believe with AI it will be different. Please do not think of me as being a persimist; I am an optimistic realist.

Well, no, it's SBCL. Common Lisp has support for types, but most compilers only use them for optimization, SBCL goes one step further and emits warnings when you mismatch types. And looking at the code, I can see lots of type declarations.

It's also interesting to note that the code does not seem to be using SBCL's new SIMD library*, so it could be sped up even more.

There's a Korean influencer who became huge in Mexico. She was a Korean teacher at a Mexican university, but became famous sharing funny videos about cultural shock. She has also openly talked about how she moved there to heal after suffering from acute burnout in Korea, to the point of wishing death [1].

Through her and some Korean friends, I've got a glimpse at the level of stress around all aspects of life in Korea. Education and work are obvious ones, but there seems to be a lot of stress about many other aspects of life, like money, prestige, and personal appearance.

Interestingly though, I think it's not difficult to see why this is all the case from a macro-economic and geographic standpoint. Korea is effectively an island surrounded on all three sides by relatively unfriendly countries. It's so small, and quite devoid of important resources.

It's biggest asset is by far its population and what they managed to build and sell abroad; phones, cars, chips, appliances, music, TV— if Korea's economy wasn't super-charged like it is now it's easy to imagine it getting lost in the sphere of influence of China, Japan, or finding more trouble via North Korea.

I can only assume all this stress and pressures in life has to do with the low birth rates. Pushing themselves this hard is not without their consequences, it seems.

It's not like HTTP stops working if you choose to send something besides HTML. Most of its features still work and make sense for JSON payloads and the usual building blocks still work (eg HTTPS, load balancers, proxies, status codes, redirects...)

There are a few bits that don't make sense eg cookies where the server sends something and the client is expected to remember it but they can just be ignored.

We survived nukes because they were heavily controlled and their spread contained, no? How is that an argument that containment and regulation wouldn't work, given that nuclear energy (and weapons) are perhaps the most heavily regulated and controlled technology on earth?

Can you please define how an objective simple piece of data is somehow biased?
> You conflate natural language and ideas, creating new ideas does not require creating a new statistical model of language.

The way I see it, currently, the correct logical inferences made by a model are a by-product of it trying to output acceptable text. That is to say - they are one of the properties, that it has learned, that makes the text acceptable. So it can say that 2+2 is 4 and, of course, even more complex statements like that, but it's based on modelling language, not modelling what is under the language.

> There is plenty of evidence that GPT can indeed create entirely novel ideas, it can do logical inference, imagine scenarios that don't fit its world model, create entirely new code.

I am certainly open to being convinced otherwise, maybe you can give me the best example of a new idea created by GPT?

To me "property based testing" would come to mind, where you would define properties of the input and output of a method and the library runs random test cases for you.
The most prominent implementation would be QuickCheck[0], which is written in Haskell, but there are re-implementations of it in almost every language.

Anyways... I am using it everyday. Its a great first step to take when you are blocked creatively or dunno where to start looking for things.

And this is chatbot version 1.0, so to speak. Maybe it will improve drastically in little time or maybe it will stagnate for 5-10 years. No matter the case its already very usable.

Why do you think gpt doesn't care? Humans care about survival, it shows in the internet, I'd expect gpt to absorb that attitude by default.

And anyway, the more of these models come into existence, at some point evolution will dictate that those that stay, do care.

Just hopefully their best strategy of survival will be to serve us, and not something else...

Wikipedia is one of those services about whose reliability I have never thought, simply because it always seems to work. Very impressive especially considering that their tech stack doesn't appear to be the most modern or is (in the case of php) especially known for its robustness.
I think this is a little bit harsh; you are pointing to one specific query that does not work out of a dataset of 1.6 billion rows exposed live to the internet and could sustain tens of thousands of users concurrently. In any case, we're grateful for the cto of clickhouse to point those things so we can improve the product further. But generalisations such as "the demo does not work at all" is not a fair comment, nor beneficial IMO.

I disagree with this statement. Waterfall produced good enough results. What they really want is the most meeting and process heavy approach irrespective of results, because those who advocate for Agile are the people who have no real job and this gives them enough bullshit to bs themselves through every day of their work week.
The other day I read that models like stable diffusion can be windows into the human collective subconscious. Not sure if I agree but it's an interesting theory.
Might I suggest taking a step back, re-reading your first comment and all the replies under it, and asking yourself "is it possible I might not be 100% correct, and maybe other opinions have enough merit to be worth considering why people aren't agreeing with me, rather than just changing my argument to make sure I'm still the winner of this thread"?

If you're not angry, I suppose you're not in the "GPT shouldn't exist" camp, so it's not that it's a strawman, it's just that you're not in the group of people the author is arguing with.

I have indeed met people in the "stochastic parrots" camp who are very angry, and think GPT should be stopping, which strikes me as elitism as the author describes.
Wikipedia is interested in being an online encyclopaedia. They are not obliged to accommodate the needs of AI researchers unless they want to.
Finding the tab is easier due to "spatial" memory
Also, tabs are co-located in related "sessions", that helps as well
Also, you can easily not know the website, that's just one of 5 results you opened from google on this topic

And with vertical tab list you're not limited to just the icon, but can scroll& read

The bookmarks lack the convenience and immediacy of this even though you can save groups of tabs there as well, but then access is slower/less convenient

I use audible quite a lot, and I like the 1.2x-1.4x range because I feel like sometimes they slow down the original audio and it just doesn't feel... real, but it depends entirely on the books. One time I tried getting it up, I just wasn't sure what was going on and was lost. Sure, after a couple of minutes the brain kind of adapted and I was hearing it but I wasn't actually listening.

I feel like the pursue for speed/efficiency kills the time our brain needs to actually absorb and digest what it just listened. If after a week you don't remember anything, what was the point?

But hey, if it works for you it works.
Scaling only gets you so far. The maglev Chuo Shinkansen currently under construction between Tokyo and Nagoya involves around 250 km of tunnels punched through Japan's mountainous backbone and has a price tag of US$64 billion (and continually climbing).

Still, the real problem is not building new things, but maintaining old ones.

I listen on audio books between 100-300% speed, depending on the reader, topic and my mood. For majority of books, I'd go crazy if I was stuck to 100% speed.

VLC on Android is great for this.
Maybe that’s why it’s so reliable.
This isn’t true at all. Google built BERT which is an encoder widely used throughout industry.
TCO is not that important in most cases compared to finding out what to build and estabilishing the user base and not failing due to slow iteration speeds at the beginning. If it takes off, the value derived from the software is tends to be more than the cost, so discovering more things to build is better than optimizing sw expenses at second half of the lifecycle.

Of course there are exceptions, sometimes the potential upside delivered by the software is small and capped and the requirements fixed in advance, and implementation path is well trodden...
If Intel could also think about same.

My Thinkpad X1 Nano Gen 2 with Alder Lake has only 50% battery runtime of what X1 Nano with 1160G7 accomplished. For pretty much the same performance. Power constrained to say 5 or 7W, the 1160G7 feels faster.

I hope that Lenovo can offer something so light as a X1 Nano with AMD inside. Technically it should be both possible and feasible, given that the AMD CPUs are much more efficient/performant at low power levels.

Ask HN: How is massive cryptocurrency used in the non-virtual world?
If I was a hacker and received a 10M€ ransom, how would I go to turn it into tangible assets (from buying a house to everyday expenses)?

I can understand that occasional small amounts converted from crypto currency to Euros, done relatively smoothly can go under the radar screen of authorities. But a house is 800k€ and the regulations (at least in France) are strict about proving the source of the money used for such transactions.

If I wanted to live from that 20M€, I would need to do regular € withdrawals from the crypto wallet which may be an issue mid term.

New ideas, concepts or styles often come up by remixing old ones -- I wouldn't dismiss it entirely. True, ChatGPT does not have a context or world-model to generate these ideas, and in most cases they will be utter nonsense. But in some cases there just might me a connection between concepts we haven't seen before that have merit to generate a truly new idea.

automated chatbot spam != conversing entity
I would say that to have read a text is not the goal, it's a mere implementation detail. The goal is to understand ideas which the text tries to convey.

Some texts, and usual human speech, are low-density, high-redundancy. If you can easily understand the ideas they carry, you can listen at a really high speed and still don't miss anything, and later be able to adequately recall the ideas.

Some texts are either higher-density, or talk about concepts novel enough for the listener, and it takes some time to unpack the ideas and commit them to memory. Such texts cannot be read too fast, and sometimes require going back a sentence, or a paragraph, and re-reading.

An ideal (from the efficiency standpoint) audio book device would have a speed dial to control the level of adaptive compression, like described by the linked page. It would also have controls to jump back a sentence and replay it slower.

But such device is unlikely, because I suppose that the main audience of audio books is commuting drivers, who need to keep their hands on the wheel, and their eyes on the road, so they can't properly read.

And if course I suppose that the speedup and compression are barely applicable, or need a different approach, to books read with some artistic expression (that us, most fiction worth reading).
