Not a paper, but NLP extraction into knowledge graph representations do exist and are in use today. For example, here's a general purpose NLP model that links organization and people entities (among others) to each other based on factual relationships described in the text — https://demo.nl.diffbot.com

This semantic extraction can be extrapolated to most any trainable context. A useful one I've worked with involved mapping supplier-partner relationships. A well built supply chain graph can identify every layer of risk in a single supply chain and provide the provenance to back it up.

IMO, the biggest blocker to more mainstream use of Knowledge Graphs (even in the commercial world) is an actually intuitive interface for knowledge exploration. The real market innovation behind GPT isn't its 175 billion parameters, its the prompt interface that makes ChatGPT so universally accessible.
The lack of highly visible changes except in improving error and warnings is really nice. It feels like a tock/tick cadence and not scary.

11 brought significant speed ups. 12 isn't claiming any? That's also normal.
I think the GP is stating that market dynamics would dictate that someone working as a 1099 for ride share that also had a preference for w2 status would simply find a different, w2 job instead of continuing to work SS a 1099. And I agree with that statement.

Honestly, being able to build a company that creates livelihoods while simultaneously teaching people foreign languages goes against many of the historical and modern definitions of "late stage capitalism".

But I assume you're just using the super modern catch-all fad term of late stage capitalism that means nothing.

> I'm far from front-end, but from the user experience, current stack seems excessive and bloated

I see this flavor of opinion lot on HN and it always surprises me. How would you know? Kubernetes and Docker seem bloated to me, but I take good faith there's reasons to like them.
Out of curiosity would a config file that acts as a prompt at the beginning of each conversation solve that issue?

It primes the model with a list of known words/grammar and the A1/2 B1/2 C1/2 level of language ability.

I’d presume after each message you could get the model to dump to the config.

I haven’t work in this sector at all and am curious as to the limits of hacking it / working around the long term memory issues!

Tested this on chaptgpt and learned something:

>CGPT: While it is common to believe that cows drink milk, in reality, cows actually drink water.[...]

>Me: So you're saying that no cow drinks milk? [thinking I got it, since baby cows drink milk]

>CGPT: That's correct. While cows do produce milk, they don't drink milk themselves. Cow's milk is primarily consumed by humans, and some young calves are fed milk for a short period of time before they are weaned onto solid food and start drinking water like adult cows.

>Me: Is a calf a cow?

>CGPT: No, a calf is not a cow. A calf is a young bovine animal, usually less than a year old, that has not yet reached maturity. Once a calf reaches maturity and is able to reproduce, it is considered a cow if it is female, or a bull or steer if it is male.

>Cows are adult female bovine animals that have given birth to at least one calf. They are typically used for dairy production, breeding, and sometimes for meat production. So while a calf and a cow are both members of the same species, they refer to different stages of life.
GPT-4 meanwhile:

To solve this puzzle, the man must follow these steps to transport his belongings across the river without any of them being harmed or eaten:

The man takes the meat-eating goat across the river first, leaving the vegan wolf and the cabbage on the initial shore. He then returns alone to the initial shore.
Next, the man takes the cabbage across the river. Upon arriving on the other shore, he leaves the cabbage but takes the goat back with him to the initial shore.
The man then takes the vegan wolf across the river, leaving it with the cabbage on the other shore. He returns alone to the initial shore.
Finally, the man takes the meat-eating goat across the river one last time.
Now, all his belongings are safely on the other shore: the cabbage, the vegan wolf, and the meat-eating goat.

Well for Homo sapiens the odds are probably a hundredth or a thousandth of that.

It’s 50/50 that in 150 years some version of our descendants will exist, i.e. something that you can trace a direct line from Homo sapiens to. Say a Homo sapiens in a different substrate, like “human on a chip”.

The thing is if you can get “human on a chip” then you probably also can get “something different and better than human on a chip”, so why bother.

By the 24th century there’ll be no Homo sapiens Captain Picard exploring the quadrant in a gigantic ship that needs chairs, view screens, artificial gravity, oxygen, toilets and a bar. That’s an unlikely future for our species.

More likely whatever replaces the thing that replaces the thing that replaced us won’t know or care about us, much less need or want us around.

Interesting. To me they more look like "that's how not to do things" than the opposite.

Oh boy how i wish the information i find on Google, Wikipedia, etc. were mostly correct 95% of the time. 95% is actually a fantastic goal to strive for to gain something useful from your own research. Only a fool would assume to have 100% correct information from a quick search.
Oracle reclaiming some free tier compute instances
Looks like Oracle is going to shut down some compute instances for free tier users. From the announcement email:

"Your account has been identified as having one or more compute instances that have been idle for the past 7 days. These idle instances will be stopped 7 days from now. If your idle Always Free compute instance is stopped, you can restart it as long as the associated compute shape is available in your region. You can keep idle compute instances from being stopped by converting your account to Pay As You Go (PAYG). With PAYG, you will not be charged as long as your usage for all OCI resources remains within the Always Free limits."

It just weighs it as being more likely that you meant for the lion not to be left alone with the goat, and that the cabbage probably has nothing to fear from the lion.

What’s more likely- you crafted an intentionally misleading puzzle to trick it, or you made a typo or copy paste error?

In my anecodotal experience, GPT-4 is at least a million times better than GPT-3.

Different things have different values, which you seem to have realized here: "a human life is objectively worth less to machines" "To machines" is the important part. But unless you're a machine, it would be strange for you to have machine values, so I don't understand why you say that you should empathize with the machines. Unless... are you an LLM?

Anyway, different sorts of things having different values is why so many people are concerned about powerful non-human entities with inhuman motivations (AIs generally, and corporations particularly.) It's also the reason people are afraid of hungry bears (the bear cares more about itself than you.)
We get this wrong even for hearing people in a lot of situations. Conference calls in particular, the people in the room have a different experience from those on the call. Side conversations in a single room can be disruptive, but over a phone the secondary conversation and the primary can turn into an unintelligible mash.

Hard of hearing people have the same problem in person. We aren't really at a place yet where someone wearing hearing aids still has 3d hearing. So like on a conference call, they can't figure out what's going on when four people are talking at once.

I know a partially deaf kid who prefers socializing on Discord, because of this. Everyone is equal and all conversations have to be 2 people at a time.
I remember seeing Jeff Bezos trash someone on Twitter for saying harsh things about Queen Elizabeth II as she was dying. It was like he had a sudden realization that people are going to post about him when he dies, and maybe not solely respectful things.

Hell of a coincidence, I just bought a bunch of Korzybski.

I admittedly don’t have much experience with deaf people; I had one acquaintance in high school who was deaf. Hanging out with him made me very aware of how isolating it can be to only be able to participate in conversations where you are actively trying to pay attention.

If these can let people hang out and participate without having to actively track each speaker in a group setting it will go a long way.
I think people are too credulous about the bot's supposed sentiment. IMO the most accurate view of the various implementations of chatGPT is that they're a Chinese Room playing improv with you. It blasts symbols together to respond like the corpus says it should and what do you know there's a lot of stories out there about AI conversations that are very much like the ones it produces.
SVB was actually shut down by state banking regulators, not the FDIC or Fed itself (Yellen is the Fed). The state of California then listed the FDIC as the receiver of the bank's assets.

So I believe this was purely the work of the banking regulators and not the Fed. FDIC called the Fed for help to reduce the contagion, and the Fed agreed. It's possible the Fed didn't have to agree...

Bing Chat appears to specifically, be an 'early' (to quote the MS press statement) GPT-4. I read that as implying that it was only partially trained, and so better than GPT-3.5, but still well below the final GPT-4 model.

- The `htmx-indicator` class can be used to show a loading spinner while an HTMX request is in progress.

- The `htmx-request` class is added to the element that makes an HTMX request. You can customize this class to disable pointer events, etc.

Exactly. It's moments like this where Daniel Dennett has it exactly right that people run up against the limits of their own failures of imagination. And they treat those failures like foundational axioms, and reason from them. Or, in his words, they mistake a failure of imagination for an insight into necessity. So when challenged to consider that, say, code problems may well be equivalent to brain problems, the response will be a mere expression of incredulity rather than an argument with any conceptual foundation.

I mean spontaneously develops its own language to talk to other GPTs, presumably under some environmental stress that forces them to co-operate.

Like birdcalls suggest intelligence in birds, my thesis is that in fact (self developed) language is the only meaningful way to compare intelligence across species - by seeing if the concepts in one can be described in the other.

For example any human language can describe any concepts in any other human language, whereas that is not the case for e.g. sparrow song and human (we think). Thus humans (past/present/near/far) can be considered equivalent by that metric, and 'greater than' sparrows.

This admits the intriguing conjecture of conceptual completeness - that a language may be able to describe all possible concepts, and thus be complete in that sense. If our language is conceptually complete (and we don't have any reason to think otherwise), then it is not possible for a meaningfully more intelligent species to exist (artificial or otherwise).

(and let's be clear here, regurgitating facts, performing complex calculations in your head, 'knowing where to find the oracle that tells you how to get the key that opens the door hiding the lever to defeat the troll and so level up' has very little to do with meaningful intelligence)
I would volunteer to get cancer.
You're missing the admission of the author who wrote the paper. If you didn't get that then you're just overselling the refutation, by not understanding the stated premise more critically.

Literally the author used the analogy so I have no idea what your point is if you disagree with the author's analogy. It tells me you are not thinking through the piece analytically.

It's not an uninteresting paper, but by the author's own admission, he doesn't give an astute reader good reason to proceed to the next section, since that was the analogy that he tried to draw.

I would love to read through a source code leak. I have wasted so much of my 20s on that god forsaken site. Now im in my mid 30s and occasionally reminiscence about how innocent I thought it was back in 2010. It is garbage now and it was garbage back than, we just didn't know. In my mind, I actually hold Digg in higher regard just because they never made it to the point where it became a net negative on the world. You know what they say: you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain or something like that.
This comment seems backwards to me. If you're funnelling incoming messages in to hundreds of topics (or less) Kafka is a great "fat pipe" if you need millions (or tens of millions) of topics for IoT devices, MQTT is much more designed for that usecase

Are there any analyses how GPT fares with adapting to regional dialects, or i.e british vs. american spellings? I am asking because the article uses computadora (instead of ordenador) as example for an adapted (only latin) spanish word.

Kafka no longer requires zookeeper. If you need true master-master high availability from a datastore - which anyone who bothers with a load balancer for their application should demand, what's the point in running your application in a HA configuration if your datastore is a single point of failure - then to the best of my knowledge Kafka is still the least bad option available. It's not the easiest thing to operate, but I'll take it over Galera or Greenplum any day.

I sympathize. My wife once told me I could not be a vet, because I would need to be able to put the animals down. The more I learn, the more I understand what she meant by it.

I dislike unnecessary suffering and some of it does sound very unnecessary. I can give some level of dispensation for necessary pain, but even then it should be a good reason ( and it seems sometimes the reasons are in the 'not great' category ).

All that said, what are the options here with regards to research animals?

1. We stop research on all animals
2. We don't stop
3. We research even more
4. We adjust it to some more acceptable status quo

Personally, I have a recent opinion that may jar some as I am more and more leaning towards #1. I think what eventually got me was dog cloning services in US.

What will follow is a move a different type of testing ( and hopefully more humane ): human testing.

It will come with its own set of issues, but, at least, subjects will be able to consent.
I do not know of a simple example, but I have heard there are some example in the C++ grammar where the look-a-head can be as large as possible. Parsers for C(C++) are often not purely grammatical, but also keep a symbol table to resolve these problems. For example, the statement 'a * b;' can either be type definition or a multiplication (with no result) depending on whether 'a' is a type or a variable. Note that in C++ it is possible to defined an *-operator with a side effect.
Sustained 10% year over year inflation is hyper inflation, which was a real possibility without any serious interest rate hikes and no change in fiscal policy from Congress.
