3g, 1mpix rear camera with video, front camera, stereo speakers, properly located gaming controls, Bluetooth, apps, UIQ2 so you could add a full-screen touch keyboard, opera web browser with flash javascript and landscape, vcal/vcard/sync, divx, big screen, personalJava, USB, microsd, dockable stylus, and a huge (at the time) battery.

At the time, even stereo speakers were a big deal. This was years ahead of most other phones
Show HN: An auto-generated OpenAI Node SDK that's better than the official one
Some part of the OpenAI API can stream events, like the “chat completion” endpoint that’s used by ChatGPT to type out its response. However, the official OpenAI Node SDK doesn’t natively support streaming [1] (though it’s the most requested feature [2]). The recommended approach [3] is kind of a nightmare.

I used Fern [4] to generate an SDK for the OpenAI API. It makes it a lot easier to stream responses! https://github.com/fern-openai/openai-node#streaming

There’s some other niceties of the Fern-generated SDK:

- Endpoints organized by resource, e.g. client.audio.transcribe(...)

- Properties are camelCase to match JS/TS convention (they are snake_case in OpenAI’s SDK)

- The file upload endpoints support Node.js ReadStream, rather than just File

'I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.' - Mitch Hedberg
Multimodal GPT-4 to be released next week
Good question! I believe the accuracy will still be good, but it will just be more work for the bots to get it right (lots more files and code to reason with). So my OpenAI costs will prob go up a lot for bigger code bases. Hadn't thought about that!
Books are frequently useless. I only buy used (thrift books, local book stores) or get them from the library. If I dont have a compelling reason to finish it after about 20-50pages, I just re-sell/give away/throw it in the nearest gutter.
I think the pricing is based on the maximum amount each individual can bear, independent of costs. If your hypothesis was accurate, we should see prices go up when sales go down (independent of the cause of the sales drop). I don't think that is clear, but open to evidence if you have it handy.

There might be a long term impact where fewer drugs are developed because there are lower profits, but even that feels awfully close to the "piracy hurts creative industries" argument that has been proven inconclusive at best and directionally wrong at worst.
I've tried some of the things you mention (code snippets, summarizing text and writing essay-like texts). These AIs are more often than not wrong, incomplete or lying.
unfortunately, compilation times are not so good.
This trend is starting to reverse; in some low birthrate economies like South Korea and Japan, we are seeing dual effects of both labor shortage and declining health of old people due to declining social pension payments and lack of socialization in old age.
Which is a great answer because there's probably a butt load of angsty mangakas who like nothing more than to depict monsters that invoke a feeling of insult to life itself.
I've been using ZoneEdit for years, and they have a limited free tier. It's been great for my admittedly tiny use cases.
You know what, I'll take 6% fraud in place of 15% to 30% administrative costs.

Too many people think they are being smart with money when in reality they are just being petty and wasteful.
My first thought watching this video was that its primary use is probably going to be weeding out people who would never be good at it e.g. because they lack a steady hand or lack hand eye coordination.
It seems pretty obvious to me, after using chatGPT for nearly everything over the last few weeks, that it does not have the kind of intelligence that they're claiming it does not have.

It's just recycling things that other humans have said. Which is marvelous because it would typically take me a very long time to build a map between the past contributions of those humans and the work that's presently in front of me. It's like I'm temporarily everybody.

By raising the alarm re: it's not what you think it is, I fear they're actually fueling the fire re: people thinking that that's what it is.

It's like if I went on record saying I didn't steal something which hasn't gone missing. Now everybody's thinking about its non-theft and not something more useful like how to best make use of it.
I agree it's a bit weird and mostly because of historical reasons (started on my own account, then never had the courage to move it and fix the various CIs or links to the repo...).
But we should do it though, it's long overdue.
> there was already a push to create CGI models

Maybe not "CGI", but Photoshop took all of their faces away a decade or more ago....
I was worried about this as well. However, I think the solution to this is to create fine-tuned models on specific areas that OpenAI models won't be as knowledgable about (like Next.js 13 for example)
If it's like PrimePhonic, the classical streaming service Apple bought and converted into this, it has educational content that guides you towards some of the best recordings. The main interface is more about discovering and searching for certain recordings yourself, though.
I'd guess that https://neon.tech/ could help with this. Neon is branded as "Serverless Postgres". They have APIs to create branches of your database.

So you could effectively:

1) Create a snapshot of your production DB -> DB_2A

2) Then create a snapshot of that snapshot -> DB_2B

3) Now you have two copies of the exact same database. Run your query/workload/migration on DB_2B.

4) Run some metadata queries against DB_2A and DB_2B and compare the results.

5) If your metadata queries are inline with expectations, delete the snapshots. If not, leave them around for a bit for manual inspection.
Yes, Deep Blue didn't "really understand chess", it just seemed to, and also happened to beat Kasparov in the process.
> Heh, no wonder capitalists want AI robots to replace people as fast as possible.

Surely it's authoritarian regimes that want this? Capitalists just want to make voluntary agreements with other people and keep them.
For static media this makes sense. When it comes to generating realistic movement it seems like AI still has a ways to go. This effect is stronger for some specific modeling situations like hand models that show devices being used.
Ignoring your ad hominem attack, ad hominem means attacking the speaker rather than the argument, which is what Aaronson does here, and Chomsky does not.
I know solo founder is #1 on this list, but fights between founders is #17, so we're in the clear on that one.

This is why we need all the things to be encrypted all the time.

People with "something to hide," i.e. persecuted minorities, need not to stand out from the crowd.
It definitely sounds like that. But to me this feels more like 'testing the waters' to see if the argument sticks with the American people. I don't think it will, because they provided even a hint of a smoking gun.

Eventually, I can see these hearings continue, but the line of argument will change to protecting American jobs, especially if Meta's ad revenues fall.
Wouldn't that be "vegetation"? I agree with OP, it's not a vegetable if it's not edible!

Madison, in considering whether the legislature should be limited to native-born citizens, had this to say:

"[T]he door of this part of the federal government is open to merit of every description, whether native or adoptive, whether young or old, and without regard to poverty or wealth, or to any particular profession of religious faith."

There may be countries in the world that don't have a moral obligation to allow people from different cultures and religions (I'm avoiding "values" here, since it's a squiggly concept). But we're not one of them.
We need more direct criticism like this.

I’m not even sure if this even needs AI in the first place or how this is any different to a boilerplate generator using templates. An AI can hallucinate and generate a broken codebase which means it needs to be checked again for its correctness.

I guess if this was a web3 project template generator funded by YC, I would be seeing everyone including the mountains throwing heated exchanges at the founder.
Well, it is the most reliable IT magazine in Germany.
Can someone explain to me why they created yet another IR instead of building an MLIR dialect? Especially since they’re targeting MLIR byte code.
Americans absolutely know what corruption and fraud looks like but the problem is that half of us seem to want to get in on it instead of fixing it. Look at MLMs, bitcoin, gambling, stock trading, americans are OBSESSED with get rich quick ideas. A lot of people's anger with 2008 seems to be, not that some people fleeced the general public, but rather that they themselves were not part of that group. Everyone seems to see life as a zero sum game where they can only improve by harming someone else first
ChatGPT is now available in Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service
LOL! I'm old enough that I have experienced Dreamweaver before. And I can pleasantly say it's not like that! So far, the code that I've been able to generate looks like well written code that any reasonable developer would have written.

Also, there are elements of the generated code that are created from compilers (human written files that compile into source files). So these code files are always 100% accurate and deterministic.
The apple explanation is trivially wrong. The speed doesn’t depend on the mass of the apple to any reasonable approximation, while it does depend somewhat on air resistance.
In some sense, the messiness of the living standard is also what enables large-scale web archival.

A lot of old code in other languages may be hard or impossible to compile and run without significant work.
> (1) You realise that we don't investigate human understanding by looking at input-ouptut text correspondances? (This is quite a funny claim!)

Why is it funny? We most certainly do exactly that. In particular in this forum where we interact via text input-output, but also in real life when we ask each other questions, etc. Sure, there are also gestures and other channels of communication but text input/output is a big part.
It is I/O bound because you aren't using the available compute as much as you could.

Modern hardware is insanely powerful. Like it's absolutely bonkers how much you can do on a modern computer. Although most modern applications have capabilities on par with a 2006 flash game.
You're trying to excuse the way the Catholic church turned their backs on mass death and suffering within their communities by blaming the sufferers. This is the precise horrible truth that gay people were faced with during the AIDS crisis, when them and their peers were dying horrific death en masse and they were at the same time being ousted from their bible studies and refused to be given final rites on their deathbeds.

The church will watch gay people die on the street and spit on their graves like everyone else, and all the speech of forgiveness and compassion was actually a lie. Gay people aren't equal humans in their eyes. Like I said before: the only people supporting queer people were the queer people. The only thing they could do is love themselves, for the world was glad their deaths were painful, slow, and public.
This article summarizing lecture notes from Kenneth A. Taylor is worth reading: https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/kenneth-taylor-robots-...

Substance of the article begins after the quote from John Stuart Mill.

>AI-as-engineering isn’t particularly concerned with mimicking the precise way in which the human mind-brain does distinctively human things.

>If I am right that there are many mysteries about the human mind that currently dominant approaches to AI are ill-equipped to help us solve, then to the extent that such approaches continue to dominate AI into the future, we are very unlikely to be inundated anytime soon with a race of thinking robots—at least not if we mean by “thinking” that peculiar thing that we humans do, done in precisely the way that we humans do it.
Nice! Very nice!
The modeling industry is amazingly toxic and exploitative. Young girls starving themselves into eating disorders and photoshopping themselves to impossible beauty standards all just to tap into the tiny human-coathanger meat market. If this industry died, little would be lost.

> The fed-created bombing attempt was in 1974. Unless the RCMP has a time machine, I don't think the invocation of the WMA or the POA can be blamed on Robert Samson.

They were caught in 1974. That doesn't mean (and Samson's testimony corroborated that) they didn't plant bombs or fake threats before. Ted Bundy wasn't caught the first time he murdered someone.

Plenty of american christians seem to think the desire is also a sin.
straight legs jeans instead of bell-bottom jeans because less fabric required.
Hats have been replaced by caps, or just go without either, because we are mostly inside anyway.
We still use suits, but it's not required. Most people use jeans, because SWE's can't afford wool.

Ohh, sorry, you mean JavaScript...
const is the new var because Java programmers don't understand function scope.
()=>{} is the new function declaration because many people want to go back to Perl like syntax.
class instead of prototype because Java programmers don't understand prototype.
TypeScript instead of JavaScript because Java programmers can't live without type annotations and editor autocomplete.
async/await instead of Promise because what we can't see (async code) can't hurt us.
import instead of require because JetBean intellicense could not autocomplete dynamic require/imports.

The Role of General Cognitive Ability and Job Performance: Why There Cannot Be a Debate

Given the overwhelming research evidence showing the strong link between general cognitive ability (GCA) and job performance, it is not logically possible for industrial -organizational (I/O) psychologists to have a serious debate over whether GCA is important for job performance. However, even if none of this evidence existed in I/O psychology, research findings in differential psychology on the nature and correlates of GCA provide a sufficient basis for the conclusion that GCA is strongly related to job performance. In I/O psychology, the theoretical basis for the empirical evidence linking GCA and job performance is rarely presented, but is critical to understanding and acceptance of these findings. The theory explains the why behind the empirical findings. From the viewpoint of the kind of world we would like to live in-and would like to believe we live in-the research findings on GCA are not what most people would hope for and are not welcome. However, if we want to remain a science-based field, we cannot reject what we know to be true in favor of what we would like to be true.
You're still not getting yourself out of the thing where turning over the footage to the government could be bad for you, so having it happen unconditionally without your consent could be bad for you.
Maybe, but that's not relevant here. All banks invest their deposits in similar types of debt. SVB just made some bad decisions in terms of timing and liquidity, and now they have to recapitalize. If they can pull it off successfully then the bank will be fine but shareholders will get diluted.

Using the undistorted UVs has its own artifacts as well, namely, you can still see a "ghostly outline" where stuff isn't distorted through the water. But it clearly looks better than seeing something in front refracted in something behind.
I would say that WhatsApp is probably the most commonly used chat app in the UK. But most people are also using at least one other chat service such as Facebook Messenger or Instagram's messages. And of course due to the way WhatsApp uses phone numbers as an id, most people also have people's phone numbers and can fall back to SMS if need be.

The vast, vast majority of "business code" even at startups and unicorns like AirBNB and Uber is not doing "compute-bound" things. They're all basically fancy CRUD apps.
I thought the conclusion was the weakest part. Look at the two ambiguous responses for terraforming and asking AIs for advice side by side. They’re basically form letters with opposing opinions substituted in. Contrast this to text completion using GPT-3 which will give a definite answer that builds off the content given. Chat GPT obviously has some “guard rails” in place for certain types of questions ie they’ve intentionally made it present both sides of an argument. Probably in order to avoid media controversy since most news outlets and a lot of people ITT would pounce on any professed beliefs such a system might seem to have. The solution was to make it waffle but even that has been seized up to proclaim its amorality and insinuate darker tendencies!

FFS people, you’re looking at a Chinese Room and there’s no man with opinions inside. Just a fat rule book and a glorified calculator.
I don't get what you're saying. x isn't the quote, it's made to be part of the string being matched, to catch edge cases. You don't need to understand quoting rules to pass 'x' as an argument as you would '"("'.
In hindsight we worked on some very cool and very crazy things. The emailer (of course), the brother geobook (the first thing I worked on was an ill-fated color port), web libraries for the psion5 browser (a whole different tail of woe), a standards compliant (i.e. not wap, or proprietary transcoding) web browser on a cell phone demo in early 98 (that was mainly Dave and Chris?)

Miyazaki is pretty old school and tends to be against technology for his personal use while working.

It definitely isn't the reaction they were hoping for, but it's also something that I'm not surprised by.

[EDIT] Apologies to Miyazaki, as the poster below me pointed out. I didn't mean to make him sound like his secretary would print emails out for him.

The poster below me is right on the money with Miyazaki creating pieces about technology & nature.
>> Call me cynical, but it seems that the design reality is that system demands and thus power use often expand to the maximum the system can provide or tolerate. Remember, when transistors and ICs were devised and then went to ever-lower voltage/power, the per-function dissipation dropped by several orders of magnitude—you can’t argue with that fact.

>> However, coincidentally with this good news, user requirements increased at a greater rate, so now you have server racks pushing almost 10 kW each—an almost unthinkable figure just a decade ago, up from about 2.4 kW each in 2011 according to one survey (I have seen others, and those numbers are similar) (Figure 3).

We'll see how much of a barrier that ends up being.

I'm guessing that humans are just as vulnerable as other animals to supernormal stimulus. People seem to accept Avatar and Alita just fine.
I keep trying to use it for code and it keeps leading me up the garden path with suggestions that look really reasonable but don't work.

Off the top of my head - a python app for drawing over a macos screen, but it used an API which didn't support transparent windows, I could draw over a black screen which was so close in code (even set the background alpha) but miles from the desired application. And a Java android app for viewing an external camera, which it seems used an API that doesn't support external cameras.

Of course, because it's not sentient when a couple of days later I figure out from searching elsewhere why it's effort would never work and tell it why, it just apologises and tells me it already knew that. As I'm going along though telling it what errors I'm getting it keeps bringing up alternative solutions which again look like exactly what I want but are completely broken.

I haven't had it produce a single thing that was any use to me yet, but so often it looks like it's done something almost magical. One day I'm sure it'll get there, in the meantime I'm learning to loathe it.

Separately, I've asked it to create a job advert for a role in my wife's business and it did a decent job of that, but it's far easier to walk a path there from what it provides to an acceptable solution. Programming is hard.
Amazing thing about these models are how polarizing they are. You have two groups of people, largely, and both think people in the other camp are morons:

- Group of people who think that these models will (at some point, sooner or later) replace a lot of the work we're doing, and do it better than people can.

- Group of people who are impressed with the models but believe that the uses are fairly limited and because of this will not pose a threat to the work of many individuals.
Remember that a significant amount of american Christianity involves pre-determinism, ie that you're either good or bad, and cannot change that, and the good people go to heaven and the bad people to hell. It has nothing to do with actions but is an inane trait you are born with.

Randomly turning genes on and off to see what they do is experimentation. It leads to a better understanding of genes. Biology is messy and complex, so it's difficult to trace all the causes and effects. But there is some understanding of the mechanisms by which genes turn into phenotypes.
As I said. Some do look further. Some do not. For the particular niche of genetics research, most of the time we actually don't, and that's fine, because it's not particularly actionable whereas the base layer understanding of a genetic interaction is helpful for things like personalized medicine.

We don't shit on the scientists that decide to stop searching "wait but why" and instead answer higher level questions. Because... obviously that is not always the appropriate thing to do.
I hope they announce a "Modern Scheme R7RS" book, like Rust.

Fingers crossed.
As a long time customer, I would recommend Namecheap. I was trying out Gandi since a couple months. On the bright side, they have a lot of additional international TLDs, but that's about it. Gandi has been noticeably more expensive when comparing equivalent domains.
