The average human cannot program, not even a little.

The average human cannot summarize (for example) Anna Karenina from memory.
The «Turing test» cannot be interpreted as a suggestion that trickery fits the purpose (of replacing actual, real properties).

The "Imitation game" was introduced in the context of an explicitly very relaxed interpretation of "thinking" - broad to encompass the criticism of superficial cultural positions - in the question "«Can machines think?»".

The "Imitation game" has the purpose of deciding that "we could say that machines can think in a shallow sense of the term", for the purpose of stating a positive (positively negative) idea that "we cannot exclude that machines can potentially think".

This does not make a "fooling" machine intelligent.
The improvisional jazz is probably a good metaphor. When painting, I indeed look at balanced composition, working contrasts – for some pictures, even the glue wouldn't hold the entire thing together. All of that has to be in place for the improvisational part to work, too.

Thank you!
Your argument is quickly drifting away from what you were originally suggesting, which was that RealPage had some power to arbitrarily block their customers from changing their prices and truly enforce their suggested prices (see your statement "is typically the only party in the loop with the ability to settle the disagreement"). Now its just that they have a lot of persuasion to those with pricing authority. Which sure, investigate that, I agree.

So yeah, investigate those calls. Investigate how the pricing algorithm comes up with its price. Investigate how much the marketing is pushing cartel-like behavior. Smash it with a hammer if they're breaking the law.

But the fact that requiring front of line employee pricing changes to be approved by someone in management at the property management/ownership as something wrong or needing investigation, that's pretty normal. Most users of RealPage wouldn't have pricing authority! They're front of house salespeople. Its these kinds of requests to change the prices that would come under review, and that approval wouldn't be at the decision by RealPage. Sure, maybe RealPage has a lot of persuasion over the person making that final decision, but ultimately whoever has pricing authority at that property (not a RealPage employee) isn't the one that clicks "Approve" either way.

Awaiting approval from your manager to change the price is not evidence of price fixing, which is what I originally replied to.
You're right! I don't know why but I was thinking about the Minuteman all the time.
They're the same chemical.

The manufacturing process seems to be reasonably efficient. See "Kilogram-Scale GMP Manufacture of Tirzepatide Using a Hybrid SPPS/LPPS Approach with Continuous Manufacturing"[1] Yields are apparently good. There are drugs which require many processing steps with low yields at each step, and those really are expensive to make. But not this one, it seems. A kilogram of the stuff is about 100,000 to 200,000 doses, so this is not an inherently expensive material.

> Price fixing ensures higher rent for the whole cartel (which is comprised of their customers)

Price fixing ensures higher profits for the entire market, not just the cartels. Those outside the cartel equally benefit from the price fixing as cartel members, but that no pressure to constrain supply, which puts them in a strictly better position. For example, OPEC enabled the fracking industry and when OPEC loosened their price fixing, in 2019, many of these companies went bankrupt.

> What Realpage gains from creating a cartel is a really sticky customer base.

So that's why they allegedly threaten to fire their customers when they don't follow their pricing recommendation? It would make much more sense to simply offer the best pricing product.
Good lord, maybe put that kind of effort into the next reg article!
Generally from what I've seen the biggest inference speedup win with ONNX is to get the model to ONNX then to TRT (TensorRT) - assuming Nvidia hardware. Once in "TRT land" you can play with fp32, fp16, int8 (with calibration), etc. That said (again generally) ONNX does tend to perform better when compared to native (TF savedmodel, pytorch torchscript, whatever). With TensorFlow and Pytorch there are also ways to export/compile directly to TRT but from an ops standpoint I don't prefer this.

Certain inference serving solutions like Nvidia Triton Inference Server will even take an ONNX model and then do TRT compilation (with cache!) on the actual inference hardware dynamically at model load time. This is really nice because you can deploy a standard ONNX model across instances and varying GPU hardware and always get TRT optimized and compatible with Compute Capability, etc. Really handy and basically comes down to a few lines of config in the model configuration.

I'm not terribly familiar with JAX but I have to imagine there's ONNX export or straight to TRT export somewhere.
The fact of the matter is, everybody understands the low level model of LLMs but nobody truly and fully understands the emergent macro effect.

Even though it has a lot of really stupid responses there's still a huge number of astonishing output that's incredibly hard to attribute to anything else other than intelligence and understanding.

I find it puzzling that people can be so vehemently adamant to downplay chatGPT as if they know what's going on. They don't. The creators of chatGPT wrote this article and it's partially an admission of this themselves, but obviously an armchair expert on HN who's never implemented an LLM as far reaching as chatGPT knows way better.

We can't say whether or not chatGPT is a step towards AGI. That much is true. But the astonishing thing about this iteration of AI is that we can no longer say if it's not a step either. We just don't know.
Of course its Dr. Lark again. He's been contradicting USDA for years.

There's something like 12+ PH.ds who are working in this field and create papers consistently. 11 of them agree, and then Dr. Lark comes out and disagrees.

Every couple of years, Dr. Lark comes out with a new set of studies that contradicts everyone else. And then the news organizations / hacker news around here focuses on what Dr. Lark says rather than what the other 11 guys say.

----------

I don't necessarily want to demean Dr. Lark or his work. But people need to have context here. This guy is anti-Biofuel, and has been since the early 00s (maybe earlier).

I'm not 100% sure what to do about this problem per se. Contrarian professors are important parts of the scientific process. Someone like Dr. Lark is very important to making sure that everyone's i's are dotted and t's are crossed.

But the general "media" picks up on the contrarian, and uses that as "Entire field is wrong, everybody is wrong" and shouts it from the rooftops. Rather than... you know... rightfully pointing out that they're focused on the contrarian.

--------------

We need contrarians like Dr. Lark. But we don't need media overly focusing upon contrarians and highlighting their specific research as if its the mainstream in the field.

See yall in 2 years when Dr. Lark publishes another contradictory paper, like he always does.
Reverse engineering of the Coleco Adam MIOC chip
> Depending on where you live, these regional indicators might not be rendered as flags.

This is also why Microsoft-vended emoji fonts don't include flags/"regional indicators" support at all. On a Windows machine you just see the letters US or TW in an ugly boxed type and nothing like a flag.

The interesting background story goes: everyone remembers that Windows 95 had that fancy graphical Time Zone selector that looked real pretty in screenshots (but wasn't actually the best way to select time zones anyway). The reasons Microsoft removed that tool are less well known and almost entirely geopolitical: time zone borders often correspond to country borders and several countries got mad at their border looking wrong and sued Microsoft for "lying" about their borders. After a bunch of micro-changes to the graphics of that widget and then a lot of money spent on lawsuits and geopolitical fights, Microsoft eventually just entirely removed the widget because it was a "nice-to-have" and never actually necessary. It is said that from that fight Microsoft decided that it never wanted to be involved in that sort of geopolitics ever again, and flags are nothing if not geopolitical symbols, so Microsoft's emoji fonts don't encode hardly any flags at all. (In exchange they encode a lot of fun "cats with jobs" that other font vendors still don't. I find that a fun trade-off myself.)

rather that building a functional set of tools
Its function is to transform and classify language. To do this, there is an emergent theory of the world that is contained within the model. People are interpreting the information that can be extracted from it as truth - which isn't its function and it hasn't ever been claimed to be. I would urge you to look at https://platform.openai.com/examples and identify which of those are "generating lies".

My question is "why is a program that is being misused by people held to a higher standard than people posting information on blogs?" Can I hold a person who has a YouTube channel with a video with millions of views to the same standard? Does a presenter on an entertainment media channel with the reach of millions of people get to say untruthful things that are opinion with a free pass?

Scale and purpose matters - yes, indeed it does. We need to make sure that we say what the purpose of GPT is (and it is not to generate lies) and its scale and compare it to other human run endeavors that have similar scale and purpose.

If we say "presenting verifiably incorrect information as true and accessible to more than 10,000 people is against the law" then let's say that. The source of the material isn't at issue - it doesn't matter if that is created by a program or a human, the damage is to the person reading it and there the source doesn't matter what did it.
> I guess the next step is actually figuring out what the point of having unlimited access to this stuff actually is?

Prior to AI, I was only familiar with procedural generation-- first Minecraft, then No Man's Sky.

While Minecraft was addicting in its grindiness for raw materials, I never felt attached to any of the worlds I was building. When survival became inconvenient, I spun up a new one.

No Man's Sky scaled this out to generate an infinite number of planets. So many planets to choose from, once again I found myself never becoming attached to any single one, no matter how much infrastructure I built. Once I got bored/irritated, I bailed and moved on.

I see similar behavior in people when it comes to relationships-- so many options to choose from, any single one is disposable. Your values are either going to align with mine 100%/you're going to do exactly what I want or I'm going to block you; reconciliation and negotiation is inconvenient. It's easier to just ditch old and make new.

So I can see the same happening with art. There's no toil, no Labor of Love. No connection to it from the artist (who invests nothing), and no connection by the consumer (who can get something equally impressive with no discovery effort). It's all technically impressive...but ultimately worthless.

Ask HN: How to Spot Committees in your org?
There’s a common notion that decisions by committee should be avoided. Now I doubt that committees identify themselves as committees. I assume that if it was easy to spot committees they would be avoided. So, I would assume that committees are invisible unless you go looking. My question for HN is what are signs that you’ve got a committee on your hands whether you realize it or not?

No, one is a restricted subset of the other, and that means you can better reason about a less expressive language. This is basically what you would have with a non-Turing complete language vs Turing complete one.
Not only is this false it was demonstrated as false in court.

“Microsoft later submitted a second inaccurate videotape into evidence. The issue was how easy or difficult it was for America Online users to download and install Netscape Navigator onto a Windows PC. Microsoft's videotape showed the process as being quick and easy, resulting in the Netscape icon appearing on the user's desktop. The government produced its own videotape of the same process, revealing that Microsoft's videotape had conveniently removed a long and complex part of the procedure and that the Netscape icon was not placed on the desktop, requiring a user to search for it. Brad Chase, a Microsoft vice president, verified the government's tape and conceded that Microsoft's own tape was falsified.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....

> most capitalists would not want price fixing

I would strongly challenge this. Capitalism is generally oriented around maximizing profit. Any time you can sell a good for more than its cost of production, you make a profit. Competitors, when not prevented by things like IP laws, can undercut prices within that gap and take your market share, provided they have a similar cost of production. The "profit gap" can be exploited.

Price fixing "fixes" that bug, and is a net positive over the alternative of racing to the bottom. Better yet, you can use price fixing to arbitrarily increase that gap, which is exactly what TFA is about.
> What you are advocating for it a system where professors can do anything they want and them simply blackball the student who makes a legitimate complaint and have all their professor friends do the same.

No.

I hear that you had bad experiences. That said, the right to challenge one's accuser dates back hundreds of years. It has survived as a foundational principle across millions of legal cases across all domains and including astronomical numbers of cases in which parties on either sides of the arguments have faced as much or more collusion risk than is claimed here. Anyone who thinks they can just type a few words into an internet comment thread and construct a legal system that better handles all the subtleties and realities of actual proceedings than we have in our court system today is either mistaken or the greatest legal mind in millennia.

The problem is not that we need you to try to invent a better system than the US legal system. The problem instead is we need to stop allowing bogus pretend legal systems that administrators at universities and similar institutions have tried to put in place using similarly naive legal theories. Those administrators suffer from the same hubris as anyone who thinks they can just sit down and write up how to do a functioning legal system in a paragraph or two. Each such system is deeply flawed in a different way, but all are deeply flawed. Real world accusations are always hard and messy, regardless of the domain, and coming to the correct resolution is never as easy as a one sentence "correction" to hundreds of years of jurisprudence would like to imply.

The "legal" systems constructed by these administrators are indeed deeply flawed, but arguing against core legal principals that have formed the foundations of legal theory for hundreds of years is not likely to be the path to improvement (and if it were to be, one is probably better off taking that once in a millenium legal insight in other directions of far greater impact to the world than complaining about a particular university's poorly conceived dispute structure).
AI systems have gotten far more capable. And our understanding of them is continuously decreasing. So it's really fucking bizarre the reaction is to downplay the achievements. Humanity is weird.
This is really insightful, and applies to a lot of things.

Basically we create markets that enable (sometimes force) transactions in which one side has high amounts of leverage, and allow that leverage to increase over time. We don't view this high leverage as a problem. And, instead of fixing the issue of ever-increasing leverage, we instead exhort people to get to a position where they can be exerting it.

It's no wonder many feel like the game is rigged against them.
OTOH, LiveView sounds generic enough to become the name of the whole paradigm.

Ah, so that's why YouTube content is mostly from the television companies that were powerful around the year 2000.
