Bringing GPT to Interactive Python
Nothing breaks the flow of experimentation in a notebook like an exception. You’re deep in thought, pulling data, and then suddenly everything comes to a halt.

To empower you to fix exceptions quickly we're releasing genai: an open-source library that brings the power of ChatGPT into error handling within Jupyter notebook.
Microsoft products are getting better and better... I still can't believe GMAIL doesnt offer advanced sweeping features like Outlook does.

These days, w/ Bing improvements, I am tempted to just route all my email into outlook.
I'm sorry, I posted some questions about Hackernews, on Hackernews.

I do not see how I should suddenly become customer to some unrelated external services which could literally cause my phone to ring all day just in order to be entitled to ask some questions?

It seems you're escalating the tone here, which I do not intend to participate in.
I mean yes a lot of sub par metrics and proxies are used because people get really up in arms about using IQ tests; the best indicator Google ever found.

Citation? I haven't seen anything like that in the industry at all.
reddit is down, circleci is down, our own AWS infra seems to still be up across all regions (at least the ones we deploy to), jira and slack are working, downdetector reportings lots of outages all over...definitely a perplexing mass outage.

HN - status page of the web (even if it is extremely slow right now, guessing it's getting hugged).
I'd love to chat! I am doing a rough version of this at Shepherd.com and laying the ground work for more :) (ben@re-moveshepherd.com)

I haven't uses Wikidata info yet, but hoping to expand to that in 3 or 4 months.
Until relatively recently (compared to other social media companies), Reddit used to have planned downtime. I supposed 100% uptime isn't deeply ingrained in their culture.

Alcohol fucks with DNA. It is neurotoxic.

Are there any websites where I can just visit a URL and talk with some ChapGPT? ..

Tired of seeing all the bing / bard / etc headlines and clicking only to find out I can join a waitlist.

Reddit is one of the few places where I have actually been able to help people. Twitter is like shouting into a void.

I don't think Persian is out of the question and has been demanded a lot. They still add new courses every year, even smaller languages like Tagalog. I wouldn't be surprised that Persian is on their roadmap somewhere.

But it's harder because the writing system is tricky. They teach arabic and probably that was already pretty difficult to implement. Persian will also need customizations similar to arabic.

In mice it's generally used to knock the mice out before another method is used to sacrifice them (cervical dislocation).
Nearly everything that has been written on the subject is misleading in that way.

People don't write about GPT: they write about GPT personified.

The two magic words are, "exhibit behavior".

GPT exhibits the behavior of "humans writing language" by implicitly modeling the "already-written-by-humans language" of its training corpus, then using that model to respond to a prompt.
Reddit has the petty bonus of people going down your comment chain and downvoting it.

The site would benefit from listing who upvotes and downvotes each post/comment. That would sort out a lot of the abuse issues long before other ideas such as real identities.
> spoofing your geo-location

thats good enough for me. I am sick and tired of websites telling me what I can and cannot do based on my location. Its not the 90s anymore, I refuse to put up with geo blocking.
But that's not a bailout. I guess they are just wrong?
It's actually not explicitly stated:

"I am not allowed to leave the cabbage and lion alone together, and I am not allowed to leave the lion and goat alone together."

It says nothing about the cabbage and the goat. It would not be unreasonable to infer that you aren't allowed to leave the cabbage and the goat together, based on how goats normally behave.

Of course, that makes the puzzle unsolvable, which is why humans will catch onto it pretty fast.

Reddit is a negative image of context and nuance. That site repels anyone who knows anything about anything.
The top comment usually goes like:

negative comments -> some presumably "funny" witty joke -> positive/meaningful insight -> peopel complain about comment quality
In a world of UBI, and AI doing most of the work, how free are you? In every definition of the word. When we were all farmers, things were pretty equal, and power could be distributed evenly. In our industrialized world we lost a lot of freedom "effectively". In a world of UBI, and AI, you're completely at the whim of whoever owns the machines. The AI needs to be owned by everyone.
They have 23 employees so that's roughly $8300 each? Not bad by North Korean standards!
Some MAAMMA companies are offering internships this summer, but some are not.
It's in part the upvote / downvote, an horrible gamification of online discourse triggering your need to win the "spectators", even if you end up not having any vote at all because no one cares.

Personally, I miss the old slashdot system. It was far from perfect, but it was still much better I think.

As another pointed out, it's worse than the situation for human doctors (although I'm sure you can find a sub-discipline that's closer to veterinarians).

Imagine you're a human doctor, except your patients are mute and can't give consent, and they're brought to you in a sorry state for emergency care by people who are frequently hostile and grossly neglectful to your patients. To that pile of daily woes, add significant student debt, chronic under-staffing issues, and increasing PE ownership.

It's a really tough industry, almost everything is stacked against them. [I've worked in a pet-care-adjacent space for a few years].
My extension? It doesn't do any parsing, just stores whatever content is saved securely in the db. But you shouldn't ever save any sensitive data like this though.
i'm only saying the report only talked about what was listed on your linkedin, not whether or not you actually had them. not that we should care about being fair to what is clearly a dishonest report.

my linkedin prob lists my expired aws cert. i presume the report only cares that it is listed, not that it is expired, but no idea.

i have _not_ listed my no-longer-valid java cert. the report would presumably ignore that because it doesn't know about it.

other folks presumably list credentials they don't have, or are expired, or were obtained fraudulently, etc.

i'm not hating on their method - just don't care for misleading illustrations - too fox newsy.

and i just realized the headline that i assumed was the title of the post is not actually the title of the page, which means it may not be the intended title of the post. maybe that's standard, or seo chicanery, or clickbaiting, etc.
Yeah, I’m maybe exaggerating slightly. Reddit is tolerable if you unsubscribe from the default subs.

Still, on the whole… probably net negative.
A lot of the research is entirely unnecessary. We know cadmium is biologically unnecessary. While it is important to quantify safe doses to understand the impact of pollution, getting the precise LD50 of it across various species does little to improve health outcomes.

We already know that dosages above 10 micrograms/kg of body weight is carcinogenic and should be avoided, so establishing where in the 100,000-300,000 microgram/kg range the LD50 resides does nothing for us.
> However his points still remains: Most of the usage of Kafka I have seen in production are the result of a random Architect/Techlead who tried follow the hype train on event sourcing and a recipe for disaster.

While calling this out on a message board comment section is going to be well-received, asking "do we need this" while working at the company with said architect/tech lead is not well-received.

How many of us get paid to work jobs where we're basically told "shut up, this is what we're doing/using, go with it"?
"Learning facts and trivia was already devalued by everyone having a hyper-encyclopedia in their pockets, this will just extend that."

From their website it looks like they write code for blockchain related things and maintain a stablecoin.

Are there any DAOs that do something that's NOT entirely about crypto things?
I wish that we could all migrate to something new, just as swiftly as it happend with digg. It seemed like it took just days. Reddit is long overdue to die.
I agree that it is bad if only 4 banks are left, but companies dont want to risk with their cash if something goes wrong with their bank.

There is zero downside in changing bank from small -> big4, only upside
> Until I realized I misread what your test was when I skimmed your comment. Likely the same type of mistake GPT-4 made when "seeing" it.

Wouldn’t we expect a computer program with perfect knowledge of the input to be less likely to make such a mistake? You made that mistake because you didn’t actually read the whole prompt, but I would expect GPT to take into account every word.

Really it shows that it doesn’t actually have a model of these objects. It can mimic knowing what a lion is, but it doesn’t actually have the concept of a lion or cabbage being an actual singular item, so its program mistracks what is an item and what the rules about an item are in the given prompt.
Quick, someone post their JavaScript contraption as a service startup idea!
> The only thing I can imagine being worse than HTMX's design philosophy

Could you explain your position on this? I'm far from front-end, but from the user experience, current stack seems excessive and bloated. A button/link which sends a request and gets a chunk of HTML back to replace without reloading the whole page seems like a logical workflow covering the needs of 90% pages. Looks like HTMX simulates this and thus looks attractive to me.
Maybe this is just what I want to believe, but I think that AIs will still need humans to give them intent. Why would an AI run a business or do anything at all without a human asking for it? Even if a business was entirely run by an AI, someone could create a "human-driven" competitor and get some customers interested just because of "the human touch" :-D
Pretty sure they banned both?
We had something similar in Cambridge and it was extremely useful. I can't imagine how the course would have worked without it, honestly.

If AI can achieve this (and honestly I do not think GPT-4 is far off, at least for primary and middle school level stuff) it will be a far bigger win for education than the internet was.
I know I won’t convince you but I think Edge is better than stock chrome. It has active development on interesting features.

Weird to think they’re shoving their ecosystem. It’s a beta. You’re welcome to wait for the full release.
> Judging by votes

You are mostly off topic. :)

Likely no one will disagree with you that the standard American diet is a ultra processed chemical trash heap, just, that is not related to super cool wound healing tech.

Diabetes isn't the topic of the article, diabetic ulcers were used in the clinical trial, but otherwise the story is about using electricity to heal open wounds.
There's other models that are doing this at a much better rate than GPT, so I don't think this is an unsolvable problem.

The implications are approximately the same as https://www.amazon.com/tape-recorder/s?k=tape+recorder except with compute power to make storage and search more convenient. Except that the glasses/app don't save anything by default nor do they need to use the internet.

I suppose it would be a nice feature if they saved all of your conversations for later? The translations are too imperfect for any legal matter use.

Revenue (or profit) per employee is always the metric to use, where employee >= 1, since there is no use making 0.01 cents if there are 0 employees.

WhatsApp famously had ~50 employees for ~$16 billion in acquisition price.
> Right now it requires you to use either the Edge browser (I don't want to switch)

More precisely it requires to see Edge in the user agent. Any browser that allows settings user-agent per site (I use Orion) allows you to use Bing chat.
If such a feature exists (and I have no idea if it does) I assume they would only route traffic to known streaming services through it. Otherwise you're making random customers into exit nodes for potentially criminal traffic, which could go very badly.

> It is so odd how people are so desperate to call bullshit on long covid

It's the other way around. This is something that didn't exist just a few years ago, that has no verifiable way to test it other than self-reports. Most of us have moved on, or weren't that scared of the virus itself.

I think some people are desperate for long covid to be a thing.
> He was an uninformed crackpot with a poor understanding of statistics.

There's a lot you can say about Kurzweil being inaccurate in his predictions, but that is way too demeaning. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about him and the accolades he received:

Kurzweil received the 1999 National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the United States' highest honor in technology, from then President Bill Clinton in a White House ceremony. He was the recipient of the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize for 2001. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2001 for the application of technology to improve human-machine communication. In 2002 he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, established by the U.S. Patent Office. He has received 21 honorary doctorates, and honors from three U.S. presidents. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) included Kurzweil as one of 16 "revolutionaries who made America" along with other inventors of the past two centuries. Inc. magazine ranked him No. 8 among the "most fascinating" entrepreneurs in the United States and called him "Edison's rightful heir".

I think they can't make it free (or with their old subscription model) because OpenAI APIs are pricey. It would quickly eat up whatever money they can generate. They also hope their product is getting THAT much better you want to pay.
From their main page (https://www.nabla.com/), the mention HIPAA:

Secure and HIPAA-eligible

Digging deeper (https://www.nabla.com/blog/privacy-security/):

This data processing is done on Nabla's servers, which are powered by the HIPAA and GDPR compliant Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and on HIPAA-eligible LLM servers.
>Image generators seem to be on a downward slope in the hype curve.

I see fewer complaints on Twitter or other social media and more people actually using it to create beautiful images, of course online galleries are full of AI images, but right now they actually compete with human illustrators, not only for quality but also for composition, style, characters, etc. (thx to LoRAs in particular)

Also progress is extremely fast on this research field.

>the ones that were generated with careful repetition are expensive unless you and your GPUs' time is worthless.

There's actually more to it than pure brute force when generating images with generative models, if you know what you're doing, there's no need for a powerful GPU or wasted time.

"Never make the text color of labels grey,"

Honestly surprised GitHub did this.

I've worked with software where a user picks a color for something that renders text atop it. Never once did I think to allow for an in-between color.
I'll be even more cynical and say that the "upper middle class on up" who's whims drive political policy actively DGAF because exercise and eating healthy are a lifestyle thing that separate them from the people below them.
Yes but a human being stuck behind a keyboard certainly has their thoughts reduced to language by necessity. The argument that an AI can’t be thinking because it’s producing language is just as silly, that’s the point

What do you mean by idiosyncratic risk here? It seems as though you just read the word in an online forum where it was used in an context free manner. Read through investopedia.com/terms/i/idiosyncraticrisk.asp and tell me how it applies here?
After watching the demos I'm convinced that the new context length will have the biggest impact. The ability to dump 32k tokens into a prompt (25,000 words) seems like it will drastically expand the reasoning capability and number of use cases. A doctor can put an entire patient's medical history in the prompt, a lawyer an entire case history, etc.

As a professional...why not do this? There's a non-zero chance that it'll find something fairly basic that you missed and the cost is several cents. Even if it just phrases something obvious in a way that makes you think, it's well worth the effort for a multimillion dollar client.

If they further increase the context window, this thing becomes a Second Opinion machine. For pretty much any high level job. If you can put in ALL of the information relevant to a problem and it can algorithmically do reasoning, it's essentially a consultant that works for pennies per hour. And some tasks that professionals do could be replaced altogether. Out of all the use cases for LLMs that I've seen so far, this seems to me to have the biggest potential impact on daily life.

edit (addition): What % of people can hold 25,000 words worth of information in their heads, while effectively reasoning with and manipulating it? I'm guessing maybe 10% at most, probably fewer. And they're probably the best in their fields. Now a computer has that ability. And anyone that has $20 for the OpenAI api can access it. This could get wild.

> Even after I pointed this mistake out, it repeated exactly the same proposed plan. It's not clear to me if the lesson here is that GPT's reasoning capabilities are being masked by an incorrect prior (having memorized the standard version of this puzzle) or if the lesson is that GPT'S reasoning capabilities are always a bit of smoke and mirrors that passes off memorization for logic.

It has no reasoning capabilities. It has token prediction capabilities that often mimic reasoning capabilities.
You're going to get confidently incorrect arguments on the internet straight from ChatGPT without the human filter.
They banned most of the proper feminist subreddits and just left the ones that pander to males. No surprise they're hands off on all the porn subreddits that debase women as well.

The only reason they started removing the absolute worst porn subs is that it started getting them negative media attention for hosting "jail bait" and similar. Though they did give the guy who ran those an actual physical award, back in the day. Woman-hating pedophiles, the lot of them.
Nope. Pseudo on both. I do feel like I have more of a persona on Twitter though, with some high profile accounts following me back and such. I regularly burn my reddit accounts every year and start fresh. It's not like the karma is good for anything.

In general though, I feel like... 25% of my reddit comments get replies from folks with questionable reasoning skills and entrenched positions vs maybe 5% on Twitter where it's more conversational and exploratory.

As a beginner in the NLP world, this may serve me a purpose which is to hide the complexity behind building such models.. numbers like xyzB parameters, 12K A100s.. are scary, so I still can dream of building one system one day. This story [0] and this one [1] hide some extremely complex edge cases that a beginner will never though of or had the courage to start if he knew what is the real cost.

We may, however, still be able to infer some details [probably in the future] knowing how Microsoft had re-arranged its infrastructure to welcome OpenAI training [2]
