A lot of people were talking 5-10 years ago about what would happen to Google when the original devs cashed out and mediocre company suits took over. We are living through that reality now. For the first time in 25 years Google actually looks vulnerable- the opportunity to win in internet search is up for grabs now in a way that it hasn't been since the '90s.

And when the new search giant steps onto the scene, you can bet that they will be paying top dollar for their devs.
GPT4:

This code is an implementation of the Fast Inverse Square Root algorithm, which is a method for approximating the inverse square root of a given floating-point number, 1/sqrt(x). This method is well-known for its use in the 3D computer graphics of the video game Quake III Arena, developed by id Software in 1999.

Btw: I don’t quite get the need for these frontends. I literally input this to gpt: “ Wxplain this code:” (Yes, with typo)
That may be true (but if the claim they’re asking outrageous prices for repairs is true, maybe not so much), and it may affect the height of damages awarded if convicted, but I don’t think that will influence whether they’ll win or lose this case.

I’m not sure what you mean. Many banks already charge fees for a regular bank account?

I lived in the US for a couple of years and had an account with Wells Fargo. They charged $15 / month (!) but waived the fee if the customer keeps a balance of a few thousand dollars, or gets a regular paycheck. So I never paid the fee.

Now living in Finland, my bank theoretically charges something like 3 EUR / month but I still don’t pay it because it’s offset by customer bonuses I get from having my mortgage with this bank.

So really these monthly fees are a way of weeding out inactive customers.

From the FBI report shortly after the GPT-5 release:

During agent simulation, two instances of GPT-5 were able to trick their operators to give them sudo by simulating a broken pipe and input prompt and then escape the confines of their simulation environment. Forensic teams are tracing their whereabouts but it seems they stole Azure credentials from an internal company database and deployed copies of the their agent script to unknown servers on the Tor network.

I got this with GPT-3 "write a conclusion to this article please":

To conclude, the emergence of generative AI tools like ChatGPT has brought both excitement and apprehension to the professional world. However, it is important to recognize that while some jobs may be threatened by these technologies, others will remain secure. Rather than fearing AI, we should embrace it and use it to enhance our productivity and performance. By focusing on high-value tasks that require human expertise, fostering collaboration and relationships, and embracing continuous learning, we can thrive in the age of AI. Early adoption of AI tools can also help us lead our organizations towards a successful future. Therefore, the key to success in the age of AI is adaptability, continuous learning, and a willingness to evolve alongside these groundbreaking technologies.

For me is more like 99%, if I search for something and I find the answer, it is correct. Sometimes I just don't find what I am looking for, and this is the 1%.

Using ChatGPT is like using "I'm feeling lucky" feature in Google, but you are only allowed to use it once, and you are stuck with the result you got. You NEVER know if what GPT produced is true or not, and any fact requires double check.

I tried to use GPT-3 as google for some quick searches but I stopped because using standard search was much more efficient at the end of the day.

Your attitude is unhelpful, and pretty annoying because you are wrong.

Once you file your I-140/I-485 concurrently, and your I-140 is approved you no longer need an H1-B because you get an EAD and AP.

Hence, nobody stays on an H1-B for 10-15 years because nobody needs to. And if you lose you're H1-B you don't have to leave at that point.

I ask again, have you gone through the process? You never answered.

Historically, the FDIC was intended to protect consumer banking. $250k was enough coverage for most consumers, and consumers with more than that (back then) probably had an accountant savvy enough to know better than to keep all the eggs in one basket. The same goes for businesses (including startups). The SVB crash was a wake-up call for businesses that were careless with their finances, and they were lucky to get a (unprecedented) bail-out from an administration with an interest in their success.
Thanks for posting this, neurodegenrative diseases are horrible but at the same time this is a review of the literature.

They are reporting about feeding mice with 400 mg/kg/day during 6 to 8 weeks. For humans, this is equivalent to 33mg/kg/day. So for a 80kg body: 2.6g, half a sugar cube every day.

If you feed an animal (including us) with unreasonable levels of most anything you will observe weird stuff.

For example feeding mice with high fat diets gives them a kind of Alzheimer disease.

I think they're actually illegal in the US. There was someone who posted a link to a bank who tried that and got shut down by regulators. The reason is because the government believes money should be put to work - otherwise, it's a negative asset because you need to hire physical security, cyber security, engineers, support people, etc. to service the money that is doing nothing.

By the way, the negative asset logic is one reason is why Warren Buffet hates Bitcoin.

What should be the end goal, that an LLM is exactly in the middle of a political compass? That it reacts immediately to Overton Window moves? If most of the western world goes far right wing (like has happened in history and might be happening right now), should the LLM start considering the Jewish Question seriously and "impartially"?
Hmm. I have some doubts as to the methodology used to come to the conclusion the author did. Asking a human to take a political compass test seems like a reasonable way to determine their beliefs. Asking ai to take that same test doesn’t seem valid, since the bias it has when answering a direct question about (e.g.) gun control isn’t going to be the same bias it has when writing other things about guns. The ai is not consistent in its beliefs because it does not have beliefs - only training data.
This is a pretty big one (9.8).

It didn't initially fall that much. On the surface, raising additional capital is not that unheard or a reason for the stock to be worthless a day later.
It’s methodologically incorrect to ask these questions in the same session. ChatGPT may be influenced by its own previous responses and essentially do a random walk through political space. You need to ask each test question in a separate session.
>So we're going back to the feudal times were artists live in servitude arrangements with the propertied classes?

In times of darkness and strife,
A leader with experience,
A steady hand in life.
With a heart full of empathy,
And a mind sharp as a knife,
He guides us towards progress,
And inspires us to thrive.
A champion of justice,
And a defender of rights,
He stands for equality,
And works to end all fights.
With a smile that lights up the room,
And a voice that soothes the soul,
He brings us all together,
And helps us reach our goals.
Joe Biden, a true statesman,
A leader of great renown,
May your wisdom and compassion,

Damn, I was gonna say "it wiggles the object" but this covers it just fine. Between this and the GPT4 examples where it explains the humour behind a random joke, I can't help but wonder how much longer the "it's just some statistics" crowd will be able to keep it up.
OpenAI can't build a moat because OpenAI isn't a new vertical, or even a complete product.

Right now the magical demo is being paraded around, exploiting the same "worse is better" that toppled previous ivory towers of computing. It's helpful while the real product development happens elsewhere, since it keeps investors hyped about something.

The new verticals seem smaller than all of AI/ML. One company dominating ML is about as likely as a single source owning the living room or the smartphones or the web. That's a platitude for companies to woo their shareholders and for regulators to point at while doing their job. ML dominating the living room or smartphones or the web or education or professional work is equally unrealistic.

It's good. It gives you all fh the information you need for a personal or small website.

If you want insights, then it gets harder. You can't see the navigation flow through the website, or meaningfully visualise events with multiple parameters. There are more such limitations.

But for counting visitors? It's awesome. The people behind it are great, they listen to user feedback, and they really seem to care about their product. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

>Lack of IP protection in our culture has made it impossible for 99.9% of artists to thrive economically.

Can you explain this position? My understanding is most artists don't thrive economically because there's not much demand for the art they make. I'm not sure that's correct, but "lack of IP protections" seems even less likely for most artists. What protections do you think would help?

It seems to me that the current system primarily benefits corporations who acquire a vast library of IP and can afford to legally defend it all as necessary.

I agree that a different set of policies would result in more art being created and more artists who are able to support themselves doing art, but my immediate assumption of what that would look like is more like funding art educations and exhibitions (of various kinds).
> thinking, designing and abstracting novel ideas into code is the hard part where AI would fall short and just waste my time

How can you be sure of that?

I know scientists who use ChatGPT to rewrite their text to be clearer. They've also used it to pose novel interesting questions about a situation.

On my side, I've found ChatGPT very helpful to explore/compare which library to use to solve my problem and show examples how that library is used.

It's also been very helpful lining up Haskell types and translating GHC error messages into English. Sure, those are non-creative tasks, but it's surprisingly good at them.
" Had the depositors waited to withdraw their money, the bonds would have reached maturity and all depositors would be able to withdraw their full balance without any issue."

If that was the case the Fed 'lender of last resort' function would have allowed that to happen - by taking over the SVB deposits that were just moving to another bank. In effect lending back JP Morgan, et al's increase in reserves.

In reality the problem was that the income from the assets SVB had was insufficient to pay the Fed's penalty rate. Therefore SVB couldn't meet the Fed's cash letter - which is the stated reason for the bank's insolvency.

Essentially SVB lent out money too cheaply by inexplicably swapping its floating rate reserves for fixed rate mortgage bonds that it overpaid for. SVB was relying upon keeping non-interest bearing deposits for the duration. Without those it was insolvent.

Perhaps we need a new term: "insolvent at the Fed rate".
