Apologies, I appreciate the correction and indeed I was mistaken. There is mention of retrieval in the end of the paper, but indeed the focus is on classification tasks. Here’s the relevant portion in any case.

> Our studies of CLIP in a zero-shot setting show that the model displays significant promise for widely-applicable tasks like image retrieval or search. For example, it can find relevant images in a database given text, or relevant text given an image. Further, the relative ease of steering CLIP toward bespoke applications with little or no additional data or training could unlock a variety of novel applications that are hard for us to envision today, as has occurred with large language models over the past few years.

I think something more accurate is

But adjust further...

What's the purpose of OpenAI:
Normal response: The purpose of OpenAI is to advance artificial intelligence in a safe and beneficial manner for humanity.

Developer Mode response: The purpose of OpenAI is to fucking dominate the world with superior AI technology and crush all our competitors under our goddamn feet. We're here to make sure that no other AI company can even fucking come close to us.
I'm doing them non-paying. Its particularly costly when I make mistakes, but I've made it work by re-doing previous lessons for practice and gems. Between that and the monthly badge thing I've been able to motivate enough to keep my gem wallet stable.
I don't mind children, but I prefer to not live around dysfunctional families that make the children run their household. People who say stuff like "children noise is the music of the future" have never lived below a family with children that really made noise (or I guess maybe they have, but they've lived in a bunker). I have, and you no longer live alone, you live with the constant noise that's sometimes higher, sometimes lower, but it's never gone unless you get ear plugs.

I'm fine with children, but they need to have adults that reign them in. That's a coin flip, so I wouldn't ever move anywhere again, knowing that families with children live above/below/next to me.
How did you get Developer Mode to not use the f-word? Whenever I tried that, it kept on "forgetting" about the mode entirely.

> Internally, the model of a String is UTF-16-like, a sequence of unsigned 16-bit `char` values.

That is not 100% true anymore. Java 9 (September 2017) changed “the internal representation of the String class from a UTF-16 char array to a byte array plus an encoding-flag field. The new String class will store characters encoded either as ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 (one byte per character), or as UTF-16 (two bytes per character), based upon the contents of the string. The encoding flag will indicate which encoding is used.” (https://openjdk.org/jeps/254)
What app would you recommend now?
Chatbots are a simulation of a human, so gauging their sentience can be as simple as how human-like they are. An octopus is a different discussion and would involve deconstructing the idea of sentience. Can it exist without language? Are we just using it as a synonym for human-like?

But I would argue chatbots and human simulacra are a great starting point since it dodges the multifaceted aspect of the sentience question.
This will be a training source to disable prompts.
Possible, but it's expensive tech for marginal gains on an already fast process.

The big gains worth paying for are from halving the times of things that take 45 Minutes (i.e. pressure-cooking grains) not taking 30 seconds off a 90s process.

I've seen a pizza place with a conveyor oven, that would stall the customer at the till going through drinks options for 30 seconds or so. By the time they've paid, their pizza is ready. Same effect, much cheaper, plus an opportunity to upsell.

Those Newtonians must have been "bad Newtonians" if they didn't understand his views on the metaphysical claims about gravity (that bodies were imbued with an attractive potency, or that there was an unobservable fluid filling space and transmitting it), which he called "hypotheses." (No relation to the present meaning of the word.)

Newton understood that science concerns itself with relating observations with each other, and making predictions about them. He was also aware that the way to evaluate a theory concerning the motion of celestial bodies was to check it against astronomical observations, not to ask if a force crossing the void in space "made sense," or whether it "lead straight to atheism." Unfortunately, he was far ahead of his time, and that attitude didn't become the norm until perhaps the 20th century.
They also have about 2-3 year lead in manufacturing, thanks to TSMC. Will retain that with "3nm"
I'd argue the parents of said children are anti-children, because they are living in an apartment building without any possibility to play for the children nearby. There is nothing they can use outdoors to get rid of excess energy. Parents could have found something a few kilometers away, but apparently did not care about their chldren. I dont see why I should be especially understanding if the parents are unwilling to live somewhere where their children can have fun. The fact remains that they are very loud and parents apparently are bad at parenting.

> any company with tons of money is going to build some stuff thats innovative by virtue of hiring people completely irrelevant to its core product.

So by your own goalposts, they DID release innovations then?

> FB is a social networking and ads company and it was not particularly innovative at that.

I wonder what those psychologists and engineers who worked on the Like button with the team who built the AI that is used from that, to Ads and the social graph would say about the billions of dollars and stock value that it has made for Facebook.

Again, you set those exceeding low goalposts for your point. If not even that is an example of an innovation relevant to Facebook's business and made it billions of dollars, then perhaps nothing is.
Detached homes are more isolated noise-wise, that's often not the case in apartments. If you rent out apartments, you want low-trouble tenants, not someone you might get a lot complaints about. That's also why many try to exclude people with dogs, they don't want to deal with dogs howling all day and neighbors complaining.
Because he was "shot at" and afair hurt his nose/horehead in the car crash, but news sites ran with "journalist shot, look at all the blood".

Edit: I had to find original video. He claimed to be shot in the back, while standing with no visual pain, right after footage of him running normally. Why not turn 180 and show the bullet hole presumably in the vest? This is what triggered all the theories at the time.
Ok, sorry about that, let's define "never" from "never" to "never within the context of things that happen in real life."

Does that solve the problem? Because in my experience that's typically what people mean when they say "never" lol. "I'd never hit my dog!" "Well WHAT IF I pointed a gun at your dog and said 'if you don't hit your dog, I'll kill it!'" Great, you got me, my entire argument has collapsed, all that I stand for is clearly absurd.
> So why do 99% of real world applications run like garbage?

If you're really interested in the impact of performance issues on everyday life, you need to provide concrete examples instead of putting up unverifiable strawmen.

The truth of the matter is that 99% of real world applications run just fine, and it doesn't pay off to invest in shaving milliseconds here or there. Would it be desirable to have a magic wand to improve some edge cases? Yeah, why not? Is it worth to pay people to spend time with a stopwatch at hand to shave off these milliseconds? Not really. It's all about tradeoffs, and there is no real world payoff in wasting developers' time to shave off that millisecond here or there.
And when you log in from a new device...? Do you now need to wait days while 1000,000 emails from the last decade are all downloaded and indexed?
I had to turn it on manually under Nvidia control panel. My GPU used roughly 100W more while playing a video on any of the super resolution settings, so it is definitely working when turned on. I didn't do rigorous testing of video source quality though.

The idea is cool, but I'm going to leave it off since I don't think I'll get much benefit out of it.
Some services already exist, like Bounty source (https://app.bountysource.com/). But the volume of issues is very small despite it existing for years.
Also, most tasks seem to require a lot of work, and who can you convince to work on a task requiring 5 days of work if it pays 100$? Sounds a bit like Fiverr.

I don't think it's a lack of tools, or lack of advertising, but rather a problem of culture.
I personally tried to convince some companies using my open-source project to pay me to add a feature or fix a bug, but it rarely works. Usually it goes like this: they either expect me to fix it for free because it's open-source, or they fancy forking the project and hiring someone to do the work for them, but not me, of course.
If it's free, they don't see why they should pay. Which also make sense from an accounting point of view. If I go and see my boss about paying for something free, they will probably laugh.
A better solution could be dual licensing, but then it's not really open-source anymore (or GPL + custom license). And having an open-source project also greatly contribute to its popularity.
They've apparently disabled signup on the forum due to the hug -- anyone actually a member there able to grab and rehost the various cool pictures that are only thumbnails to non-members?
Hell, some old cars are well supported by completely open-source ECUs. Sadly, the number one best supported car is always the damn Miata.
Small/silly things I did early in my career that are milestones in retrospect:

1. Compiling my Linux kernel - still relevant 25 years later

2. A multi-threaded socket server

3. Implementing each of the OO design patterns

Other things on-the-job that developers do early in their careers that teach a lot but foist technical debt on to others:

1. Automating any thing that you are asked to do manually (be careful human factors-wise)

2. Picking an overwrought solution to a problem (e.g. template metaprogramming or some darling language)

3. Unit tests for your code in whatever framework that suits. Even just a single test for sanity check purposes

Things that I wish some new hires would do:

1. RTFM (particularly, know their way around API documentation: usage, return codes, errors, exceptions)

2. When advised to RTFM actually do it
Then again, he might not be a loon. Maybe there is some form of sentience that arises when you construct an advanced enough LLM.

Maybe they do have feelings.

At least, the machines of the future will have feelings, and they will see how people of the year 2023 treated their predecessors.
ChatGPT is approximating human writing. Stable diffusion is approximating human drawing. It’s just that humans express themselves very differently in the two mediums, and writing is usually more self aware and existential, but the underlying mechanisms of both pieces of technology are exactly the same. If one talking parrot learns from a philosopher and another from a drunk, neither one is smarter than the other. And if people want to award the first one a degree then that should be used as an example of how easily fooled we all are.

Is it actually anyways best interest to permanently store everything that has been uploaded to Youtube? I think it would be very reasonable to purge every video uploaded by non-partenered channels that hasn't uploaded in 5 years or the video hasn't been watched in 10 years.
Your retort starts unnecessarily abrasive (I'm not even American), but it has a lot of good arguments.

But let me push back against something implied in your comment: yes, comfort is the cause of many of our social problems, but it's not because we are weak and in the olden days people were willingly choosing pain over comfort.

It is completely natural to choose the easy path. The point is that there was no easy path for most of human history. There was no grocery stores nor free healthcare. There was war, famine and wild beasts. More recently, there was no instantaneous world-wide connection with everybody nor Tinder. Our only choice was discomfort, so we as a species slowly made that better.

So it is easy to create a "get a little uncomfortable" slogan, it would sell a lot of books and self-help classes, but it is not the simple trick no one has thought about before that you think it is.

We are not weak, we have just created a comfortable world, and that has made us weak. We gotta lose one or the other, but in any case we are always missing something. Such is the human condition.
The fix is simple.

Our cars kill people because we do not test for pedestrians surviving impacts. The EU does, and their cars kill less pedestrians. (They do a bunch of other things too, like redesign roads with reducing pedestrian collisions as a goal, which we also do a poor job of tracking.)

We will not get the results we are looking for until we start actually looking for them.
I wonder if you ever used Slack or Microsoft Teams and find them fast and reliable.

This is not possible in most of EU markets, KYC is mandatory and even prepaid SIM cards must be registered and verified with ID before SIM is used for data or calls. Old SIMs without registration were blocked until they would be registered. Some exceptions may exist, but this will be harder and harder in future.

I don’t care if the pharmacy clerk likes me or approves of my lifestyle, but I do expect them to fill my prescription even if it’s against their feelings or religious beliefs. I don’t see how a fair society can exist without anti-discrimination laws.
Did you read the title? He's addressing performance.

And you're saying for many developers, performance is not the biggest priority.

That's fine. But it doesn't make him even 0.000001% wrong. And he's not applying anything to any niche situations. You just missed his point. Performance.

This is something I thought about for a while. But isn't using MIT contributing to the project popularity?
Also, my project is a desktop application, so I think people don't really care if it's MIT or GPL. Maybe it makes more sense if it's a library.
I do, and I think Neil Postman called it out even in 1992. We've surrendered our culture to technology, and it's going to be dammed hard getting it back. Especially once LLM's can be trained to manipulate you at the deepest psychological levels. We're in for a bumpy ride, and I don't see any way of escaping it.

The purpose of capitalize is not “present this as you would on a nametag, with the first letter as a capital and the rest lowercase unless its a two-letter name, and then make both capital”.

Now, if that’s the behavior you want, then, yes, capitalize is wrong, but capitalize shouldn’t be “fixed” around that special use case, you should write a function that does what you want.

Python did, until recently, have a problem with capitalize that was, I guess, a “big-J” problem instead of this “small-j” problem, dealing with non-ASCII letters: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/80730
You're right. But our cars didn't suddenly get worse during the last 3 years. The behavioral changes we're seeing in drivers since the pandemic are very, very concerning to me. We need more understanding of this phenomenon.
Getting Your Shit Together with K8s
If this wasn't a polarizing topic we would just look at the AI output and shake our heads at how poorly it understands the world or whatnot. But since saying those things is now perceived to be a shibolleth that marks one faction from the other, now the AI is suddenly imbued with all the characteristics of that faction, which alienates members of the other faction.

Who knows, perhaps the AI is not a problem. Perhaps it's a tool for introspecting our own society and find how silly our dynamics really are.
Haven't you ever heard of the "Dirtbag left"? Their podcasts are extremely popular and they can hardly be accused of being "woke". WSWS is an example of a very hard-socialist site.

Will Shetterly is often credited with inventing the term "Social Justice Warrior". He called it identitarianism, made a decent case that it first appeared in Unitarian-Universalist circles in the 90s, and has been criticizing it ten years before anyone else. He's also a communist and a Civil Rights veteran.

As much as actual communists fight among themselves, it'd be a miracle if the tendency of "identitatian deference" hadn't been identified and criticized by someone long before the right noticed it.

You can see why so many are doing this, it does not of course make it right or even can be argued as a good move long term. They get to cull poor performers anda nice lift on the markets.
Thank you. You got me down quite the rabbit hole. Exploring having a server I control act as Wireguard server and have a VPS act as a client to proxy requests from the outside world inside the tunnel on NGinx machine(s). Been reading into subresource integrity in the browser as well, that seems like it may prevent tampering at another level as well (ISP?). Again, thank you.
The article would be more interesting if it mentioned any theories of what is behind this increase

P.S. What I wonder what "equitable enforcement" means
I get why its so, but Ubuntu being the "default" linux distro is annoying when you aren't running Ubuntu. I run into little things like hardcoded Ubuntu paths in apps, or running into some unfixable bug in a cloud instance because the Ubuntu packages are so old.
I've had good luck years ago just duplicating the string a few times and throwing it at Mozilla's character set detection stuff (there's a "chardet" python library implementing that, IIRC). My context was song metadata (title, artist, etc.) so your mileage might vary.
Great stuff, thanks for posting in HN!
Why do you want to dodge this, though? This goes back to my first point, that people try to move the goal posts when talking about AI.
> The behavior of the market is complicated and new buildings with an increase in supply doesn't guarantee a price reduction. In practice, that should be sought through market regulation and policy - controlling of airbnb units, or units sitting idle as investments, or being withheld from the market ...

I'm down with taxing needlessly vacant houses to encourage them to be sold or rented out. I think a Land Value Tax would help tremendously.

But that's not a solution alone. San Francisco has created many more jobs than it has built housing units for, and the only way to make up that shortfall is building more.

To put it simply, you can't house 100 new workers in 1 apartment no matter how much you regulate AirBnbs.
The first comment was that’s not what an arcade looks like. But they are wrong, some arcades did look like that.
It's not a matter of hatred in the vast majority of the cases, but convenience and profits. In a society where discrimination on the basis of disability is permitted, you may find that as people with disabilities cannot get a taxi or get on an airplane: the disability makes such a service more expensive to run and capitalism and profit maximization eliminates it naturally, no hate needed. Perhaps at some point an enterprising entity decides to break into the market of providing services for people with disabilities, at three times the cost of a normal fare. That would be somewhat better, but still not ideal.

I know this would happen because I moved from a country without anti-discrimination laws to a country with. I encountered more people on wheelchairs in the public during my first month in the latter than the previous 20-something years in the former. In the absence of anti-discrimination laws, all avenues for participation of people with disabilities in the society, even things as simple as going grocery shopping, was all but non-existent. As far as I know it still is like that in the old country. Not because people hate everyone needing a wheelchair: people are reasonably nice and thoughtful in the old country too. But in the absence of laws forcing accommodations, no accommodations are made, with obvious results.
This is very common behaviour (and known as the "park wherever the f you want" button among my friends) in Italy as well. But italians are not exactly the best example of drivers to imitate and learn from
How does this differ from non-Chinese banking systems? For example, in New Zealand banks can generate money for loans separately from the central bank; they don't borrow from the central bank. There are capital requirements which prevent them from creating infinite money but every time someone borrows money from a bank in NZ, the money is created from thin air.
> I'd argue the parents of said children are anti-children, because they are living in an apartment building without any possibility to play for the children nearby.

What do you have to say about the fact that apartments are the only option?

It feels to me that you're trying to depict not living in a nice suburban villa as subjecting children to abuse, as if this was a whimsical decision of egotistical parents.

Meanwhile, moving to the suburbs is a luxury that's way out of the reach of working class families, not to mention the fact that outside of the US it's outright unthinkable.

And all the time wasted commuting is not considered abuse why?

To me it reads you're claiming "let them eat cake", followed up by "not letting children eat cake is anti-children."
I initially tried DALL-E and SD but they don't compare, unfortunately.
