>It should be obviously true that progressives, and democrats these days are more in favor of social media companies controlling their platform, compared to, say, a decade ago.

I would appreciate some evidence for this claim.
>You realize that these LLMs are all some variety of neural network right?

Come on. Calling them neural nets doesn't make them that.

Actual neural nets are living compositions of individual predictors, in a constant state of restructuring and communication across multiple channels, infinitely more complex than static matrix multiplication on arbitray vectors which happen to represent words and their positions in sequences, if you just shake the jar long enough.

>It's pretty plausible that your intelligence is derived from gradient-descent prediction

I highly doubt that gradient descent in the calculus-sense is the determining factor that allows biological organisms to formalize and reason about their environment. Minimizing some cost function - yes, possible. But the systems at play in even the simplest organisms don't spend expensive glucose to convert sensory signals to vectors. Afaik, they work with representations of energy-states. Maybe there is an operational equivalence somewhere there though.

Gradient descent is an algo that optimizes derivatives wrt some cost function. An intelligent system may use the resulting inferences for its own fitness function, and it may do this using gradient descent itself, but at no point does the mechanical process of iterating over cost-values escape its algorithmic nature. A system performing symbolic reasoning may delegate cognitive tasks to context-specialized evaluators ("am I in danger?", "how many sheep are on that field?", "is this person a friend?", "what is a pumpkin?"), all of which are conditioned to minimize cognitive effort while avoiding false positives, but the sequence of results returned by those evaluators (think neural clusters) is observed by a centralized agent, who has to make new inferences in a living environment. Gradient descent fails at that.

I wonder what is the status of AI in this field.
Most flowering dicotyledonous plants don't make fruits or seeds without pollinating insects

Is it really 'most' (I honestly don't know, I've never considered only looking at dicotyledonous plants)?

In any case: I'm very well aware of how dramatic the decline is, but imo there are more than enough 'if all the bees die we die as well' memes out there and perhaps it's a pet peeve of mine but that's a correlation at best and it ignores so many nuances it's not funny anymore (not that it ever was, but you get the point). It's HN so let's not ignore all other pollinators (wasps, flies, butterflies, moths, beetles, bats, spiders, birds, ... in no particular order - and of which I know many people actually go like 'erm, what, bats?'), nor that there's also wind pollation, and also not the fact that there's a bunch of crops whos yield doesn't depend on pollinators at all and another bunch who'd see dercreased yield without pollinators but not quite zero.

Thank you for clarifying. I know a bit about the brain and brain chemistry, but I was unfamiliar with NMDA receptors.

Unfortunately the rest of your explanation was too technical and I didn’t follow any of it. Can you explain what NMDA receptors are for and what the link to anxiety, in either direction, is?

My anxiety wasn’t caused by this, but I was able to treat it because of the memantine. I just stopped memanitine a month ago after about 5 years and all the symptoms seem resolved now.
> borders artificially keep people apart

You are wrong. Mexico-United States Border keeps Mexican labor and business from being more ferocious than American businesses in America. Borders have been protecting cultural states for a very long time in fact. 3200BC and before countries existed. It has and still does have alot to do with cultural tastes, and unlike how you expressed it, 'protecting the economy' from being formed against the wishes of the countries leaders. Borders come about for different reasons surely, but to reduce a border to an economic zone is just commie-aide.

I picked up a few useful tricks from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that I use to this day, but the best lessons came from eastern philosophy.

Anxiety isn't a disease - you don't 'have' it. Everyone experiences anxiety. It's a temporary signal, like stomach butterflies or being starstruck. What happens next after experiencing these signals is up to you. You can let your ego take control, or acknowledge the experience and let it pass. Sometimes it's a useful signal to act on. Many times it's not. Think of your body like a tuning fork, the anxiety is you vibrating in reaction to a new experience. There's nothing inherently good or bad about new experiences, it depends experience to experience. Therefore the anxiety reaction should be taken under advisement but confers no knowledge about what's to come, and shouldn't be treated like a warning indicator.

Activists really tried to push too much crap into the pile of "net neutrality."

There were at least a few different issues in the NN bundle:

1 against preferred ISP access
2 against content-based ISP restrictions
3 against charges to upstream content providers based on traffic
4 against paid prioritization
5 no change to the current peering models

Most of it was IMO total bullshit. Having worked with ISPs, I can tell you that they have no real interest in being content police, prioritizing specific services, at least in the US.

Their real interest for ISPs was making large sources of traffic pay.

This is going to conspiracy theory land, but IMO a large part of NN was the content providers (YT, google, facebook, etc) manipulating the public into supporting some bullshit law that prevented them from having to pay ISPs for the downstream traffic they generate. And it's a lot of traffic...and billions of dollars in advertising revenue.

All of that was wrapped up in the typical "call to freedom" that is the equivalent of "it's for the kids."

I don't think people are excited about making API calls. They see a land grab and are clamoring for their piece. As for what I'm doing, I work on my own products that, I hope, push the envelope, at least slightly. And I have seen AI companies that are doing good work using OpenAI's tools, but this isn't one of them.
This is not what I believe, but my attempt at summarizing the point under discussion.
I'm interested here, as I'm inclined to disagree pretty strongly.

How would you prevent the erosion of rights or culture by a group with a bigger population?

For instance, have a few hundred thousand Americans move to Cuba and vote to have Cuba secede to the US? Or a few hundred thousand mainland Chinese citizens move to Taiwan and do the same?

The problem is a separate switch leaves mainstream non-paranoid users unprotected, because it requires conscious activation by the user.

And anyway, a lid switch is a hardware switch. But most importantly, it activates passively during normal usage patterns.
> Site performance is much more API based

Exactly. And those API calls are going out over the network. The caller has to serialize the request into text, the API implementation has to deserialize the text into values that can be passed to a local implementation function and then the API implementation has to take the result and serialize it into the return. Finally the caller has to process the result.

That's the simple case. Things get even more involved when you start using HTTPS to secure the data in transit on the channel and using OAuth to secure the access to the API. What appears to be a simple API call turns into a lot of back-and-forths with multiple servers - with all the network latency that entails. Then developers complain their website is slow. Gee, I wonder why!
Google groups is also the mechanism for defining groups for viewing/editing permissions, comments, calendar invites, etc across Google Workspace and for access permissions in GCP. That group definition aligns nicely with being a mailing list grouping. Those use cases are not going to go away, and I would expect Google will invest in them more (as Workspace has been an area that Google has significantly invested in, and I'd argue has been doing a good job).

I don't think your points hold up against the example of state borders.

Criminals move between states, but it's not a huge problem. The states can share information and allow joint action. It may require more effort to set up between nations, but it's a common thing today.

Taxes work fine. If you're a resident of a state, you pay income tax to that state. So we obviously know how to find out residency.

>Everytime there has been mass unorganized migration it has been a humanitarian disaster.

If borders were to become easily crossable (not necessarily non-existent, but just a checkpoint to count incoming/outgoing and stop smugglers) in a day, then the next day would see mass migration in so many directions. But after that first wave calmed, I wouldn't expect mass migrations except those following humanitarian disasters. Three had migrations we see today are caused by disasters. Even when the emigrants experience terrible conditions in the receiving country, I imagine it's because their previous life was shattered and they had to quickly flee. It's not a fair comparison to people who would migrate if immigration controls were removed.

Also, happy to share our learnings of working with a social media customer. For them, key motivation was to understand where the model is failing and hence, understand how to improve it. They started with offline experiments with focus on improving AUC but the graph saturates pretty quickly. While an incremental model improvement didn't lead to a sizeable change in offline metrics, it can impact retention of a certain user group and hence, overall revenue. They are using us to get insights on online experimentation. They have defined custom measures to monitor the distribution of model outputs and are able to determine the difference in model's performance much more effectively as compared to relying on changes in business metrics like retention, revenue, etc. This helps them to find out poor-performing cohorts and roll-out model improvements in weeks, not months. Would also love to hear what issues you ran into?

I grew up in a 15-story apartment in Seoul - every day there's a stream of students walking to schools and back, passing along stationery shops, snacks, barber shops, groceries, and what not. Even now, when I visit the place (my parents still live there), I feel much more connected to the neighborhood than my current suburban single house could ever be. Here you take five steps out of your door and drive away, because there's nothing interesting within walking distance. There's no sense of a "neighborhood."

(To be fair, the noise was always an issue, and in my current place, it feels really nice to be able to do jumping jacks and play the piano at 9pm. So there's that.)

Rendering performance can definitely add up, but rarely do React websites render so many elements that you get to 700ms. Once you do, you can nearly always fix that with an performance optimizations iteration. I reckon that issue is just as likely in all frameworks, and less likely to be about React using 0.2ms (or something like that) longer per element to render before optimizations.
In about 2006 at Google, I met a guy who was working on Groups. He was the only one, and he was remote, even before that was a Thing.

Thanks a lot for making this! Just last week I was trying out the transcription APIs of AWS and Google Cloud and they produced rather bad results for a German interview (wrong punctuation and capitalization, about 1 misheard word per sentence).

I didn't know OpenAI had an API for that as well, but now I was able to try it out and it's magnitudes better: Perfect spelling and only 1 wrong word in 2 minutes of audio (an abbreviation) that I was able to understand. It even filters out filler words!

You just saved me literally hours of work by showing the powers of OpenAI!

I'm reminded of a desktop app Google has called "Google Web Designer" which can do similar timeline based animations and exports to the same formats.

I have never heard this explanation. Where is it coming from? It sounds not only wrong but inverted to me. Governments enforce borders to effectively secure their territory and people, and thus its own power. Is the idea that, without the “legal fiction” of borders, we’d have some kind of global autoworkers Union or something?

Not sure about their policy/internals myself, but since GPT-3.5-turbo is 1/10th the cost of the previous model it's really hard now to run up a significant (to a funded startup) bill via legitimate usage — especially since at this phase any legit usage may be worth its weight in lessons about how the tool can be used. May be worth rate limiting / DoS protection but even then, could just cap OpenAI spending and spend the time to patch it if/when it happens (e.g. import @upstash/ratelimit or adding a quick Cloudflare rule)
