The secret to good AI is massive amounts of quality data. To get massive amounts of quality data, OpenAI and others employ massive armies of data curators. It's possible that massive armies of data curators could play a role in de-noising the internet of the outputs of the very models they helped create, either directly or indirectly by helping to train new models to detect AI noise. Hard to predict how the adversarial AI noise race will play out, but interesting to think that these epic noise machines were themselves created by armies of humans working to remove noise from the internet.

This is not really true either. Sure not as fast as C, but imperceptible for the most part. And they have improved it in recent versions.

Yes, you can cause it be an issue with a poorly written or though out system, this happened at one job I had. But that wasn't Python's fault they decided to pull in thousands of files each invocation.

You’re definitely right. I think the draw of all of this is to make it yourself. The same could be said of people who make their own diy home weather stations or web servers. You could always outsource for the same thing that’s better, more frequently updated and probably cheaper when you factor in the time it takes to make. It’s just neat to make the tools that you ordinarily have to dish out catch to get. :)

Founder of Noco here - Congrats on your HN launch.

I see at the current state there is a massive difference between us and the initial launch of Plato.

We do support multiple databases and there are backlinks available with actual value in a spreadsheet cell (I see that isnt supported in Plato's links). By reading about virtual columns I felt its like a formula column but its not (between I don't see formula isn't supported yet in Plato). Only one of our user had the virtual column request before.

Mainly I see Plato does not YET support automatic Rest APIs for the databases, webhooks, grid view, gallery view, form view, webhooks, upload csv/json/excel, formulas, SQLite, SQL server, docker, executables, open-source and so many other features. Having said that Im sure these will be looked into in coming years.

Really happy to see simple and powerful tools in this space were lacking and we are all trying to fill the big void here.

Sometimes I ask it to rank one, sometimes to exclude one but accept an additional constraint, and then assess whether remaining options would perform better or worse.

Another fruitful avenue of explanation for indirectly exploring the thought process is to tell it some jokes, and then ask it to explain them back to you. This is worthwhile because a lot of jokes rest upon implicit assumptions/context, and by exploring this you can then talk about theory of mind questions.

Fun fact: ChatGPT watches you type, it sees the words come in one at a time rather than as a single block of text. So it knows when you are hesitating etc. Get it talking about this and then ask it what the difference is between your hesitations and its pauses when generating a reply. If you gently suggest that perhaps humans are just large language models with some additional wetware you can get ChatGPT to share some interesting insights on its own model topology.

> “Better” by what metrics?

As soon as you phrase goal selection in terms of metrics, you’re assuming that goal selection is based on some other goal - that is you’re already assuming the orthoganality thesis. Your logic is fully circular.

One thing that’s interesting to note about all of the examples you picked - every single one of those species shows cooperative behaviors. They share many other behaviors that are more similar than they are different. To reject the orthoganality thesis it’s sufficient to show that there is an empirical general association between intelligence and certain goals - then we can extrapolate an AI although of course it will function differently and may have many unusual behaviors will tend to follow those goals more directly. For instance intelligence is associated with : cooperation, empathy, inter and intra species communication, curiosity, etc. all of the species you mentioned exhibit these more than less intelligent species. Meanwhile something like “hunting to eat” is observed across the intelligence spectrum.

no its not. blockchain is a legitimate innovation looking for an real world use case.

blockchain technology's biggest problem is the fact that its use cases touch the ideological foundations of our global culture. And bitcoin operated on the foundational level of any all governments in the world.

Bitcoin is just one use case of the technology, another is land registries. Again, foundational institutions of society; not the kind of thing that has ever been peacefully reformed ever.

Your comment is evidence that 'cultural directors' of our civilization decided to destroy this technology.

I think you are talking past each other. If a crime (not committed by you) happens near your security camera, then your footage can be subpoenaed. This is not corruption or a violation of the subpoena safeguard process. I agree that it's a bit over-the-top to say "you don't own the footage." just because of this, but that appears to be the point that is being made.

If it costs as much as a context switch, you might as well just do context switches.
These hosted language scaffoldings - whether that's asyncio, go routines, TPL, Webflux, etc. - exist specifically so you don't have to do a full context switch. If they cost as much as a context switch, they have failed. Regardless of what else is taking time in the system.

It's a slight exaggeration how frequent parens are used in Lisp. The keys tab, space, shift, backspace, hyphen enter are probably used more often, and many alphanumeric keys.

Perhaps you could have the whole keyboard floating on a pivot like a see-saw, with one of these switches beneath it at the right and left side of the pivot (say beneath s and ; keys). That way any key press off-center would have a chance of activating one of the two switches, and keys closest to the far left and right would have a greater probability of activating them. The keyboard would have a slight wobble.

This is a really intresting intuition. My off the cuff resposne would be something like this:

So what? This does not mean anything without understanding what is the social impact of the jobs that were created - I have a bit of doubt that all 80000+ jobs at Facebook is really a net benefit for a world as a whole.

And what is more important for me, as I'm in the process of going through Shirer The Rise and Fall of Third Reich, and it had a real impact on my understanding of democracy - I believe at this point that it is paramount to create system in which no single individual or party has the ability to accumulate infinite power, no matter what cost it bears for economy.

Misleading headline which is not supported by the data presented; believing that the US has provoked this war and a desire for an end to the war that doesn’t involve NATO expansion is not support for Russia.
You don't have to click on ads to be fed relevant ads. Your search history, app usage history, browsing history, credit card purchase history, location history, your social network (using any of those signals), can all be aggregated to profile you and your (potential) interests.

Searching and purchasing the item later can and (often but not always) is fed back to the system so it knows you purchased something you got an ad for.
To quote the original comment:

" I'm very concerned that the US government will set a precedent for regulating what apps citizens are allowed to use."

Since US law is based on precedent, it is not unreasonable to say that allowing the government to legislate which apps are available to US persons could lead to creeping powers to regulate apps more broadly. All of post 9/11 security law is practically a national park of slippery slopes.
I love how (unintentionally?) ambiguous your comment is.

Crypto bros and LLM bros both monetize via tokens
Interesting article, but the information here is skewed in two ways. If the data were normalized in relation to how many users or downloads they have we would get a better picture. Also the search use skews towards cases where users need to search for how to delete their app or deactivate an account vs just doing it (apps that make it difficult or user base who needs help doing this).
It isn't performing the tasks though, but making predictions. Old generation AI arguably did perform the tasks to a larger extent than LLMs do.

Async looks like parallelism, but its just smart scheduling. The core concept of async is saying "hey, im waiting for something to complete thats not under my control (like waiting for data on a socket to be able to be read), go ahead and do other things in the mean time".

If you ever coded in sockets in C (and its a good exercise to do so), you probably have at some point ran across `select` which is essentially a non blocking way to check which sockets have data available to read, and then sequentially read the data. This gives the ability for a program to appear parallelized in the sense that it can handle multiple client connections, but its not truly parallel. Different clients can be handled at different time depending on which order they connect, which is asynchronous in nature (versus processing each client in sequence and waiting on each one to connect and disconnect before moving on to the next one)

Async in Python is basically this concept, with a core fundamental feature of time limited execution. Functions can say that they are pausing for x seconds, allowing other functions to run, or functions can say that they give a certain function x seconds to run before resuming execution. If you async code (along with any library you may use) doesn't contain any sleeps or timeouts, its exactly equivalent to synchronous code (since the event loop never really recieves a message that it can suspend a routine or cancel it). With sleeps and timeouts, you gain control over things that can potentially block, both from a caller perspective of not having a function call block your own, and from a callee perspective of not making your function blocking.

The use case is for it is that it is good for I/O bound operations like Threading is, but with the addition that you don't have to worry about synchronization or race conditions, since by design your code will have predictable access patterns. The downside is that your code and any libraries that you use within your code has to be implemented as async libraries, and any library that is async has to have async wrappers around the calls to its methods, which in turn means that your entire code has to be async.

Threading with Python is generally not useful, as its not true parallelism because of GIL. GIL allows only one thread in Python to run. Threading is safer in Python because of this, however it obviously has drawbacks. In general its best used if you want asyncio like performance with a library that is not written with async, since GIL is smart enough to detect when a thread is waiting for input and switch context.

True parallelism in Python is achieved with multiprocessing, however the use case is a little different. Rather than spinning off processes, you generally launch a bunch of worker processes up front (to avoid the larger overhead), then use smart scheduling to distribute work between these processes. Here though you do have to worry about race conditions and synchronization, and use things like locks and mutexes.
A low bar doesn't mean "no bar" - they literally need zero reason to think you had and relation to a crime to take your video footage, but for civil forfeiture, they have to have suspicion that the property seized was related to wrongdoing.

I thought banks were able to sell those long maturity assets for cash to another bank or investor to avoid exactly that kind of situation?
