Yep. I would say a crucial cognitive skill is to realize when it's a good point to stop processing and apply a probability heuristic (e.g., "dogma").

I bet I'm going to regret sticking my nose into this, but:

If one thinks of the money GitLab is being paid as compensation for domain expertise, then accepting community implementations sounds fine. Someone took the time to implement a feature they found valuable, distributed under the MIT license, and GitLab didn't have to spend sprint points on implementing it, only on reviewing it for applicability across the supported use cases, congratulations: free code

A reasonable counter-argument would be that GitLab needs ongoing money to do ongoing ownership over any such contributed feature, but that's true of every one of their MRs, enterprise feature or not

Almost nothing on this list screams "domain expertise" to me: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ultimate/#wu-ultimate-featu... and the fact they mention "lock discussions" as an Ultimate tier but https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/discussions/#prevent-comment... says "All tiers" makes this conversation super hard to have in good faith

I don’t trust a random hacker news comment by someone I don’t know or can verify any further than I can throw it, so in that sense they are probably similar.

The comment I was replying to was “the errors you’re talking about are probabilistic if you read the literature” my response is “no they aren’t I have read the literature.”

Note that I’m talking about a specific class of error and proving a negative is difficult enough that I’m not diving through papers to find citations for something n levels deep in a hacker news thread.
I understand your point, and I'll agree to disagree. I think it just has to do with what we value. Even though it is a tool, tools change what options we have. If you have a shovel, 'digging holes' is now an optional activity for you to pursue that wouldn't have been otherwise. Is the shovel the 'architect' of your ability to dig holes? Maybe no, but the tool-human interaction is a back and forth. Tools generate affordances and humans choose to act on affordances.

Maybe put it this way, if there was an AI that could plan out your day in a way that would optimize some metric of happiness that you agree with, you might start to use the AI. Is the AI the architect of your day because it plans it out and tells you what to do, or are you still in charge because you could choose to stop using the tool, even though it would not be in your best interest?

I think this is the point that we are reaching with AI: it is a tool that is so flexible that it doesn't just offer single affordances, but begins to be used as a guiding function for what decisions to take. At that point I think it /is/ an architect of some kind.

Again though, this is mostly just quibbling about definitions and terms.
This isn’t very unpopular. Most tech companies demonstrably hired at the same rate but as the base number grew, each new quarter brought in more people. And yes, attrition crashed when they announced hiring freezes. At companies like Google, the layoff count was similar to expected attrition.
I mean you can call it what it is. An overstressed society generates more economic output than the opposite. It's definitely not healthy, but it has never been about our health. Ever since Frederick Taylor and the factory optimization movement started. It has never stopped. It probably never will. You can't left the cat out of the bag in a world full of identical bags and expect it to finds it's way back to the same bag.
I would be fine with this if the users who are not code oriented could have a purpose built UX, instead of having to face down all of the code stuff.
If you want more open research and weights, you should be happy about this announcement. Incorporating as a nonprofit doesn't guarantee that an organization will act ethically, but it does make it more likely. Nonprofits have more restrictions around how they can spend their money. They also pay less, so the teams is more likely to be mission-aligned.

The profit motive pushes organizations to keep their work secret (which is what has happened with OpenAI).

This is likely competing with the Iridium 9603 modem, which offers relatively inexpensive service for their Short Burst Data protocol. If you're interested in this stuff, I highly recommend the RockBLOCK line of products from Rock7. It's only about $200, with around $20/month for service.

I've used this for a few projects, and I've been really happy with the service. I even helped write a nodejs driver for it (https://github.com/dudewheresmycode/node-iridium-sbd).

It's still a deliberate linguistic transgression that borrows from English. Its English pronunciation ("Latin-eks") is awkward but not completely foreign.

It's a word designed to convey an inclusive Spanish-speaking identity. Why would a native Spanish speaker choose to invent a word that is far easier to pronounce in English than in Spanish?

> EDIT: Really, the problem of how to identify a group in a way inclusive of a subgroup to whose existence the broader group is at best, as s whole, ambivalent is the real issue, and the origin stories, and more to the point the attempt to impute malign motives based on particular origin stories, is a way to avoid reaching the issue.

No, the origin stories are very much part and parcel with the issue you're discussing. Either the Spanish community itself decided that it needed non-gendered words, or a bunch of white Americans decided the Spanish community needed non-gendered words.

If the drive to change Spanish did not originate with Spanish speakers, that is very much a concern, and grandstanding about including subgroups doesn't make it less of an imperialistic affair; it just comes off as "civilizing the savages".

I'm ambivalent. It summarises text on papers that are simple enough, but interestingly it fails in ways that suggests it sometimes fails because it isn't "smart enough." E.g. I asked it about "Code Generation on the Fly: A Key to Portable Software", the doctoral dissertation of Professor Michel Franz, and a paper I know very well, and it spit back a description of the process that was perhaps superficially correct but the kind of correct you'd expect of a lazy student who'd not bothered to actually understand the paper. The summary was largely meaningless twaddle that didn't actually tell you anything useful.

I then started probing it for more detail, and pointing out mistaken assumptions, and it got better. But it was first when I pointed out that the technique for encoding and decoding has a resemblance to Lempel-Ziv-Welch compression that it succeeded in identifying the key part of the paper and give a description that while still not quite accurate at least captured the essence of the method.

It felt like I was giving an exam on the topic rather than "getting help" summarising it, and if I didn't know the paper, it would've been hard to tell if I was getting close without reading it.

For conceptually simpler things, though, I've gotten great results, and it seems to work great for things where I know what a good result looks like ahead of time, and "just" want to save looking up details where I'll recognise the right thing when I see it but don't remember it by heart.

That said, to be able to point out the resemblance to LZW and have it connect the dots is at the same time fairly impressive - I've had to point that out to experienced developers (the paper mentions Welch, "This method bears some resemblance to commonly used data compression schemes [Wel84]", with Wel84 reading: "T. A. Welch; A Technique for High_Performance Data Compression; IEEE Computer, 17:6, 8-19; 1984. {2}" but it does not go into any further detail of how they relate).

I think, overall, that this is an indication that it will get better at this as the model size increases further. It was able to at least recognise the semantic similarity or identify that this similiarity has been described elsewhere and use it to guide it's response in a way that strikes me as far from trivial.

[It did go on to hallucinate several relevant papers on the subject; interestingly it confirmed it had made them up when I asked if it had]
USB-IF does do their job, quite well.

It's the authoritarian mindset, it's Apple-istic to demand there be some strict top-down system demanding compliance, collecting money, and relentlessly pursuing everyone else legally.

So USB-IF certification is not required. There are a variety of cables out there, of various quality, huge numbers uncertified but also more than adequate. Few even sub-par cables pose real risk. With the safeguards USB has builtin risk is tiny. I would greatly doubt the cable was a cofactor in even 2% of these 150 house fires/year.

In return, we get the benefit of much cheaper cables, that folks do review quite heavily. We also get really interesting & really useful non-compliant products, that I make use of & enjoy regularly: tiny little usb-a to usb-c female adapters[1] that are out of spec because you could concievably make a nonsense circuit & injure a product, but which are again wildly useful.

Building this world where authority & control are wired in everywhere, where we use the state & the legal system to hunt down & enforce folks on a narrow prescribed track sounds awful. There are some shitty shitty products folks can run into- yes- but mostly we're already well protected, and the market pretty quickly identifies the truly wretched; thr trade-off here, to allow an open world versus insisting on control, seems apparent to me, and those folks with the desire to use certified gear will be in great hands with usb-if gear (the idea that apple certification is "more safe" seems like a joke to me). I fail to see the case for adversarialism, that you seem to clutch for.
I think you are both right. The term "killer app" can be used for something that causes people to buy something else no matter how expensive just to have that first thing. Visicalc for the Apple II, Lotus 123 for the IBM PC and clones (previous apps ran equally well on non clone MSDOS machines), and the web browsers as you mentioned.

Normally it is associated with making something very popular, and in that regard the Analyst certainly wasn't. But it did get a small group to buy absurdly expensive D-machines from Xerox just to run it, though I think it was more than those who bought them to run Lisp:

I tried it mostly because I was convinced that ChatGPT couldn't've solved this without inner-monologue: it needs to at least be doing something like setting up a frequency table before it could plausibly crack a substitution cipher for real. So I was suspicious there was something amiss here: that you might be hoaxing, or something.

I'm almost as surprised as you are that it occasionally guesses Frost and so got it 'right'. There are a lot of famous poems, and I'm a little baffled that your friend would happen to try a poem that it would successfully guess on the first few tries. Either there's some deeper connection between Frost & substitution ciphers than I know of (maybe a tutorial somewhere?), or people are engaged in a lot of ChatGPT interactions such that even extremely improbable guesses like this will still occasionally succeed.

>> Balancing chemical equations, Arrhenius acids and bases, basic lab work, and ...

> ... oxidation, exothermic reactions?

So? The syllabus doesn't include the chemistry of actual explosives or bomb design. Heck, it probably include little if any practical chemistry. It's all basic, basic, basic concepts.

Look, I could do a decent job helping a high school kid with their Chemistry homework, including things like redox reactions and exothermic reactions without even thinking about anything related to bombs. All those concepts can and are taught with "safer" and simpler reactions.

> A teacher who never actually studied the subject and only has knowledge of the pre-filtered material from the textbook would be little more than a talking textbook. I mean, textbooks are useful, but we already have those.

God help us if some dumb GPT model is supposed to replace teachers.

There's a whole lot of empirical knowledge actual practicing chemists have to learn from reports or find out experimentally, but don't know off the top of their (e.g. investigations about particular reactions, including particular explosives). If actual competent people don't know that, a stupid model for high school students doesn't need to be trained on it. Similar with practical bomb-making info.

You haven't provided any compelling argument for inclusion of bomb-relevant material in training data besides appealing to vague analogies.

> Let's just agree that pre-filtering the training text is not a practical way to prevent these models from producing emissions that are considered dangerous or taboo...

Sorry, I can't exactly agree with that. While pre-filtering might not be capable of wholly preventing all undesirable outputs, I think it can make them less likely and far less useful. If a high school student trying to make a pipe bomb has to feed in all the conceptual and practical information about bombs and explosives, and gets some impractical reaction out of it. That's a win, because it means the model wasn't much if any help.

And there's precedent for that. I'm under the impression that later versions of Stable Diffusion are pretty bad at making porn, because porn and porn-related keywords were pre-filtered better: https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/24/23476622/ai-image-genera....

While I wouldn't go that far myself, as a fellow GenXer I remember it was us in the early 1990s who were viewed as the generation that was uninspired by work or the prospect of a career. Like Linklater's 1990 film "Slacker". Or Smith's 1994 film "Clerks". I think a lot of things that are assigned to "generations" are really just due to age. Younger people aren't that into work, often because the intro-level jobs they have aren't that exciting or lucrative. But that's fine because they don't have much in the way of expenses or dependents. As people get older they get more into work both because the work is more engaging and that they actually have expenses and responsibilities.
> The euphemism treadmill is a running joke,

It feels more like a minefield than a joke. A minefield that gets new mines added every so often just to keep everyone on their toes. When I was younger, I used to feel like I could keep up with all the new taboo words, but it seems like it is happening faster and faster these days.

You can unintentionally say something that turns out to be taboo, and you're done for. Some years ago, I causally used the "r-word" and didn't even think anything of it, and blam! big mistake. We used to toss that one around all the time back in the 80s and 90s, felt kind of like a jerk when you used it in the early 2000s, but in the 2010s it's become totally lingua-non-grata. We learn the hard way from these experiences, but it does feel like a growing minefield.

Worse, when something innocent we write/say today becomes a slur in 2040, future people will dig back in time and judge us by the words we wrote in 2020. Do you know what will be a slur in 20 years? I don't.

Your definition is generally inline with mine. The small exception is you can retry as many times as you can, once the desired state is reached, the result is the same after that no matter how many times you keep trying.

Using the example given, I (as producer) can retry the message however many times, the response I get should be the same. Implementation detail usually involves some kind of ID so downstream consumers know that they have process the said ID.

I do not believe if there is an exception, then future retry produce exception as well. But perhaps I misread your example.

Phones may have something to do with it, but I'm surprised that nowhere in his article does Noah mention the other major change in the US social landscape over this time range: the widespread legalization of marijuana products. I realize it's not "legal" for teens but you're not living in reality if you don't think it's become much easier for teens to get ahold of potent weed and a myriad of products like weed gummies that didn't even exist before. The links between marijuana use and teen depression are well documented.
Honestly curious - is there any available data that demonstrates Unions are a net-benefit in modern times?

Many of us have fond thoughts regarding Unions and the struggles they went through decades ago to achieve sane, safe, rewarding working conditions. What is left to fight for?

In the past couple years, we have had story after story of Unions abusing power and harming companies and the public in the process. Is there good-doing I'm missing?
