>We don't need a superintelligent AI to cause problems, we just need idiots asking the AI to destroy us.

This is where the real danger lies. I see a lot of people focusing on the argument that it's only trying to predict the next word, but to look at it that way is to treat it as a closed system, which it's not. The interactions it has with us will cause us to change it. When you treat the entire system as not just "LLMs" but "humans interacting with LLMs at scale" then that's when you start to get more complex, emergent behaviour and no one can really claim to know how that system functions end-to-end.
I guess the text generation might be using some kind of beam search as a final layer (or some other enumerative search procedure). A trivial computational intensity reduction trick would be to reduce search size and thus reduce the quality of the output, without even changing the model. So I can imagine they reduced the compute per chat over time like this.

I semi agree with the observation, though I'm not sure if that's just a hype recovery bias from my side. For example, in the early days I would just marvel at the output looking right. Later I started running the output and noting it is often quite wrong.
For example, you might have a laptop with soldered RAM and a discrete GPU. There may be tasks where you don't need the dGPU but could use the extra RAM.
There is a chasm between a desire to be around people that understand you, and the fear and ostracism of people who are different.

I have spent my entire life around cisgender people. I am quite aware of what it is like. Once I began to transition, I found that those people did not well understand what I was going through, and I found a home and understanding in people more like me. To finally have space from a world that forced me to display myself in a proscribed way has given me the peace and freedom to discover who I really am. And this is a wonderful thing.

That you view one's desire to move from isolation to acceptance as an act of exclusion and chauvinism shows a deep misunderstanding for what it means to be in community with others. I worry for the cynicism this seems to reveal, and I hope you find peace in others in time.
I was waiting for things to stabilize a bit on the software and kernel side, for the last 3 years.

First was to ensure the Kernel driver would work, then ROCM would work, then something like Tensorflow would work. If ROCM wasn't going to be there, it was PlaidML for me. A lot of that died in time.

Quite recently I decided to say f--- it and moved to Pytorch, Dockerized ROCM and things seemed to work great on most distros today.

I guess Pytorch did a better job of it than Google did in getting it to work on AMD cards. Ditto with Blender who used this stack on Windows a long time before the rest of us could get to.

Very recently I tried to HIPify most CUDA code and I was able to get it to work. AMD seem to be open to patches too. So that may be the best things that could happen to this platform moving forward.

What sucks with ROCM is that AMD are purposely removing older cards from ROCM and that is such a wasted opportunity for AMD. Kudos to that one guy who still ports the Polaris code to work with ROCM 5.4.x.

If they extended their attitude of graphics driver improvements for older cards to ROCM, it would Rock em.

Finally, I want to add this, if AMD would rather the community do a better job - it should let the community ship the next version. We'd all benefit - like Mesa. A lot of game consoles would highly benefit from this work too.

Ask HN: The Simplest Graph Database?
I'm looking for something with syntax like this:

person was influenced by person

weight 0.5

reference

url https://www.google.com

source reporter

person influenced person

How would you parse the above?

Simple:

1. Split by first and last space. First element is a variable/vertex, last element is a variable. Central "was influenced by" is an edge

2. Tabs = properties. In this case weight is a property of the connection as a whole. So you can think of it like: person_was_influenced_by_person.weight

So I want:

1. As close to English/Python as humanly possible.

2. No curly braces allowed!!11111!!

3. No "end" ... no need to "end" in python

4. No *

5. Maybe >, (, ), ... but dont overdo it.

6. So close to English a toddler could understand it
The difference is that pop music don't need to be titled with as many parts as a typical classical piece. Artist + title is enough as an identifier. In most cases, Artist is a single name (of a singer or a band), and title is usually succinct---not always, but usually. At most, there's an parenthesized .feat or .cover.
I think how accurate it is depends on what exactly you want to know about.

On a small scale, each well to each region, it seems to be quite accurate.

On a global scale however, it doesn’t seem to account for the changes in technology or the geopolitical pressures caused by oil shortages.

So, I used to be worried about it, but now I’m not. The main reason for my optimism here is that solar power seems to be following the best possible curve for replacing oil in energy production, while Elon Musk‘s personal fantasy about going to Mars happens to have a pre-requisite of the development of industrial scale CO2-to-methane conversion, and methane can be converted into longer chains for the other stuff oil is useful for e.g. plastics.

However, there will still be global and national political concerns as the transition to renewables radically changes the economies of the world – Russia OPEC, all the oil rig workers (and coal miners because it isn’t just oil), and so on.

A couple of unscientific measures of Clojure vs Scala:

- First couple of screenfuls worth of HN Algolia search stories by date covers 7 months of scala, vs 3 months of Cloure stories - score 1 for cloure

- on Lobsters, 2 pages of Clojure is 9 months, for Scala 3 years - score 1 for clojure

- in StackOverflow dev survey, Scala respondent count is ~50% higher than Clojure (~1800 vs ~1200) - though Clojure is "loved" significantly more. Score 1 for Scala.

I'll admit it seems more of a draw than I thought and you could reasonably weight the SO case a bit more than the first 2...

Tedious counterpoints from everyone here. Very one dimensional.

It's not about the relative merits of more or less body fat, it's about overweight people constantly being told they need to do something, either in person or in the media. Worse, people will try to shame them into action, probably on a weekly basis, taking the moral high ground that they didn't allow themselves to gain weight, despite having no idea what conditions or mental issues have led to that state.

It's just tiring for people who are a little different (height, skin, fat, ability, etc.) to constantly be reminded of it and ignored as a person because of it.

The old books will continue to exist. But just like we don't tell our kids everything their beloved grandpa said, we do the same with the media they consume. Publishers making these changes are just adding value through convenience, making a calculated bet that it's in demand.

I read these books as a kid in the 80s and was definitely happy in my early years to join in with jokes about differences in people. Took longer than necessary to realise that wasn't funny for them.

This reminds me of an episode of Star Trek: TNG where Geordi is using the Enterprise’s computer to solve a problem. The computer is helpful for running simulations, answering research questions, and suggesting solutions, but Geordi does most of the reasoning work, building on information and insights the computer provides, backing up when he realises he’s on an unfruitful path, and trying different approaches until he gets the answer he needs.

I think the episode is Galaxy’s Child, but it’s been years since I watched it so my recollection might be inaccurate.

I suppose if we could combine ChatGPT, speech recognition and synthesis software, and something like Observable notebooks, we’d have a primitive version of the Enterprise computer.

Advertisers and media want to appeal to as broad an audience as possible, and have always avoided anythibg with an edge, especially one they don't carefully control themselves. Recently we see these efforts to edit out the edgier parts of books as being politically correct or woke. Before something like 30-40 years ago they were seen as conservative and religious. The exact things being edited out were somewhat different, but just as much aimed at making the works more conformant to the tastes of the time.

My point being, regardless of the exact details of the zeitgeist, busy bodies editing famous works to make it "more palatable" is a constant.

We really need to disabuse ourselves — and each other — of this rather idiot “just a tool” notion around today’s LLMs and whatever tomorrow’s “AI” bring.

At no time in human history has a carpenter had a hammer that could instantaneously, unguided, and upon request knock 3,500 nails into a new load-bearing wall, based solely on a poorly-understood statistical hunch as to where each successive nail should go, and then confidently (but extremely fallibly) assure the carpenter that the wall would survive the next earthquake.

With zero understanding, whatsoever, of what a load-bearing wall, earthquake, or indeed a nail were, or any knowledge (much less culpability) for being an unreliable “tool”.

Now, the thorny question… was this written by a LLM?
Nextcloud is fantastic. I'm personally running it on a Debian 11 server. I like the web-ui more than for example onedrive or gdrive, and it's not even that hard to setup.
This is totally true. I've read articles in the BBC news about a 'Twitter backlash' against something where the number of tweets was an incredibly miniscule fraction of the population.

I've seen actual physical protests with people on the streets with placards that appear to get less attention from the press. It's incredibly lazy!
I would consider the reverse (that mathematics is constructed) as just as nonsensical. One could argue that if mathematics were constructed, we are essentially taking on faith that mathematical properties in the physical universe just so happen (by coincidence) to correlate with the mathematical principles we have invented. But this seems backwards. The Pythagorean theorem makes more sense as something we have discovered, or the inner corners of a triangle add up to 180 degrees (half a circle); alien civilizations likely have arrived at the same conclusion. The simple answer is that math is simply a feature of the universe.

Even if mathematics isn’t truly self-consistent (it is not), that does not commit one to formalism or constructivism. The belief that abstract entities, if they are real, must be self-consistent, requires us to believe that self-consistency is a precondition for the realism of abstract entities to begin with. But there is no obvious reason to believe this.

As for the limits of our human consciousness: arguably there is a “floor” where we can have strong beliefs in the hypotheses we form about the universe (including those of mathematics). In fact, the essence of Platonism (and where it derives it’s name) is the very view that abstraction is realer than concrete or empirical particulars because it is more unchanging and absolute. It seems inconceivable to find a single world where 2+2 != 4, but we can conceive of worlds where say, Biden is not currently president, or where gravity had a different strength. In other words, the laws of logic (and perhaps many parts of mathematics) seem very fixed, but our other laws less so. Plato thought this told us something about the ultimate hierarchy of metaphysics; modern mathematical platonists like Godel think that we have a mathematical intuition that allows us to perceive mathematical objects; mathematicists like Max Tegmark thought that nothing other than mathematical objects exist at all.

It is this intuition towards the abstract as real, realer, or realist that motivates platonism. To committed platonists, the burden of proof is actually on the non-believers, partly as a preservation of logic and mathematics. If we dismiss that (a common logic), we might be incapable of having a real discussion in the first place. Whether or not that intuition is enough, or free of problems (it is not) is very debatable. However, platonism is not trivially or obviously false.

> And the stories...[...] but these aren't books that are going to delight.

Dahl's best-known book is about a family of 7 that can barely afford to eat. One of his other famous books is about how giants stalk through the night to kidnap sleeping children and eat them. A third one is about a child prodigy who is treated to the point of mental abuse at home, finally gets to go to school, only to encounter physical abuse - by the folks that are supposed to keep her safe!

If you think those stories can do more than terrify and scar children for life, I see no reason why you'd be dismissive of other works in which far, far less horrible stuff happens.
All you've said beeing a hypothesis. We have yet to see proof of any of it.
if this is simple, then what exactly is complicated? To a guy new to programming, ref(1), ref(false), mount(x), import { $1} , from {@x} are all hard concepts to grasp. I can give pass to async and await for being baked in the language.

Today, Java considers the canonical Hello world example to be too complicated because of static main() and System.out.println() and introducing changes to make it easy to write first programs.

> Weren't the predictions in the 80s largely accurate?

Yes, they were. There is some uncertainty because of more or less accurate estimates, fields that turned out to have more gas or oil than expected and marginal technology improvements. Also, oil producing countries love to play with supply, which results in fluctuations that obscure the larger trend if you don’t pay attention. But all of this changes the time scale, not the trends. Oil fields inevitably reach their maximum and decline one after the other. As oil and gas are not created over the time scales we need, there also has to be a global maximum. After that, decline can be longer or shorter, and well managed or not, but it is unavoidable.

I one had to deal with a 12-bit OS because in the early Cold War the Navy had to do some targeting calculation that required exactly 12 bits. So they ordered a computer with 12 bits.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience. I hope that you will be able to adapt to this new world and look after yourself.
No they can poop on the field, but what you are lacking in many fields today is any form of shelter beit from trees or some other type of building for adverse weather conditions. Once the pasture got wet, with too many animals on it got destroyed, turned into mud and then you got your mini dustbowls.

Animals will seek shelter if its available, but fields are a man made thing, much of the planet used to be covered in trees but the agrarian society started off this planets deforestation, which is being repeated in parts of the world today like the Amazon.

Not only that but that shed poop besides being compostable also served as a source of fire fuel which is still used today in parts of Africa.

Ideally we would have plenty of pasture for animals to graze on, because even dairy herds will go and get milked when they want and not when the farmer schedules. This is a behaviour that's been seen in some dairy factory farms with automated milkers, the elephant in the room is we dont have enough planet earths in which to feed todays human and pet population unless we go all vegetarian or ramp up the production of lab grown meat.

In 2008 a US lifestyle needed 4 or 5 planet earths, today some suggestions put that as high as 8 planet earths, where as UK and Europe have remained mainly the same, ie a UK lifestyle needs 2.5 planet Earths and a European lifestyle needs 2 planet Earths.

That's the elephant in the room!
