The thinking elevator

So the makers proudly say

Will optimize its program

In an almost human way.

And truly, the resemblance

Is uncomfortably strong:

It isn't merely thinking,

It is even thinking wrong.

Piet Hein wrote that in reference to the first operator-free elevators, some 70+ years ago.

What you call hallucination, I call misremembering. Humans do it too. The LLM failure modes are very similar to human failure modes, including making up stuff, being tricked to do something they shouldn't, and even getting mad at their interlocutors. Indeed, they're not merely thinking, they're even thinking wrong.

PlayStation 4 OS is based on FreeBSD, so it certainly has been eyeballed quite extensively. There have been numerous jailbreaks in the past, but I can't tell how many of those were due to FreeBSD itself or just regular webkit exploits.
You cannot file the I-485 unless the date is current. This is not and has not been the case for India and China for many categories for many years. And even if you manage to get the I-485 based EAD, it is provisional in nature which has its own risks and overheads.
I think this is my personal WOW moment. The future has arrived.

Already is. Nearly all the camera apps, social media feeds, etc are using ai/ml underneath the hood.
What you said about price action is basically completely wrong, but regardless it's not like you're forced to pay in ETH. Any asset can be represented digitally.
Heh, you should "get real" and try proving to me you exist.
I'm not sure. Does it refer to the nature of the job for the person? Or the industry in which the company is in? Maybe it means "employee of tech company" as opposed to "employee doing tech-related work". I guess it could mean both depending on the context.
These are old and solvable problems (audio sync). For example I'm using HDMI ARC to output the audio of my TV, and the TV has a menu to coordinate video/audio (by inserting a delay). In my case I don't need it.

But it's delay, and not integrity of the data being played back. If the network sucks and there are retransmissions, your data might still be integrous without loses (depending on the protocol).

It also happens for musicians on stage. They play and after some delay they hear their own sound back. So they use monitors to hear themselves and the rest of the band.

While in lockdown people gathered together to play music with special software. That tells you something about how this problem is well known and how it can be solved in every situation.
For that one would have to define morality. Also, the iterated evolutionary game theory of life supports the emergence of moralities among creatures which gain fitness by cooperating well to form groups that are more successful than individuals. It is not clear that digital beings will be cooperative social creatures.
$650 is a lot of money. Yes, definitely have those checks. I'd rather they call and check and everything is fine, than they not call, and things not be fine.

Even if you find the evidence for long covid weak, there's much stronger evidence on the cardiovascular and neurological damage COVID causes, both of which can in turn explain long COVID.
Interesting, can you explain how that proxy would avoid the problems of the something on the server side you mentioned? I would have guessed it will have all of the same problems you mentioned, with requiring MQTT persistence etc if the proxy goes down/has to be restarted?
You might not pay for GPT-4 but my employer would gladly fork over many thousands for each of our tens of thousands of employees if we could train it on our own dataset and run it in-house.

"In its current form" is also a weasel word. GPT-4 will replace hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next few years. It's already disrupted search, it'll soon disrupt most fields.
One of the middle version models was, but the first and latest model versions are homegrown.
???? I'm not sure what you're implying but look up the idea of the modular blockchain and educate yourself. Ethereum won't be the main execution layer for most transactions.
I also expect a high moat, especially regarding training data.

But the counter for the high moat would be the atomic bomb -- the soviets were able to build it for a fraction of what it cost the US because the hard parts were leaked to them.

GPT-3 afik is an easier picking because they used a bigger model than necessary, but afterwards there appeared guidelines about model size vs. training data, so GPT-4 probably won't be as easily trimmed down.
Given a sufficiently advanced AI, I don’t see why it won’t be able to dogfood itself. Humans do it all the time by building knowledge and learning off it.
I wanted to check this point and asked Bing to suggest some good business laptops below $800. It suggested me a $2k dell xps, a $1.5k LG gram and some piece of shit chromebook. I guess we'll never have objective product comparisons free of seo bullshit.
It is interesting that it can detect division by zero, but fails to do so if the zero is a product of math, even when it prints that the math evaluates to zero: https://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/g/359ca3f

It generally seems to depend a lot on things being named well, which presumably will not be the case for code people are struggling to understand.
I imagine one reason would be that changing your perception changes your perspective.

Imagine losing your sight. You would likely gain some insight due to having a new perspective on the world, due to a change of focus (for want of a better word).

I'm not suggesting that this is all that is involved, but I think it's a simple enough idea to relate to.

Another example might be that you 'forget' many of the typical human conceptual abstractions that we use to view things as discrete, giving you a stronger sense of connection or relatedness. This can spark insights that you otherwise might not have.
Maybe, but that's not true for all game developers.
GPT-4 style AI will encompass search and more. Search already has more penetration than the iPhone. AI will be far more ubiquitous than either.
Not the pilots just yet, but copilots are on the chopping block for that exact reason.

I agree with you for what it's worth, I just wouldn't use that example. Feels like it'll be outdated soon.

Well, Hashicorp did more or less everything right. Except of building a working relationship with Chase in LA. Heck, the even conducted audits, and apparently no money was lost.
Github copilot needs to be updated then. To filter code by licence or something. In many cases using GPL code is perfectly fine.
I thought it was just logistics: carrying a helmet around is inconvenient, and there is no way to secure it to your bike at lock up (and if not secured, someone will probably snatch it even if just for fun). Don’t motorcycles have a compartment for the helmet? Something like that wouldn’t work for a bike, and even just a thin lockable wire to secure it isn’t really workable.

Sorry but H1-B aka corporate slavery is abominable in the first place. That it is the way it is doesn't mean it is fair or ethical. Most other countries have moved to a more humane way of dealing with foreign workers, at least qualified immigrants where you don't immediately lose your entire life that you've built because of a layoff.

> Ukraine is not going to care about terms of service

Well in that case they won't provided that service. That's how it usually goes. If it creates a significant legal liability to the service provider (which is the reason for many ToS clauses), the service provider would be absolutely stupid to not shut things down in such cases.

I wonder if we should modify existing licenses to include (no) machine processing clause.

We’ve seen images with specific artist style being generated and with big body of data available I suppose everyone could be emulated to some point. This bring two opposite points:

- as a professional I wouldn’t want to be emulated even if I’m be happy to share knowledge with fellow humans

- as a parent I’d like to leave a bot-like entity that can emulate my line of thought for my children/grandchildren

License + detection entity would allow to control what we share as a training set and what we don’t.
My open source software is downloaded millions of times per year, so I do think I qualify as "have created something people value". That's not an argument though, it's an ad-hominem from someone without an argument, so please try giving arguments.

Big Hetzner fan, but the EX101 does not feel like a good value compared to the AX101 that they've had for a while. Yes, the i9-13900 is faster than the 5950X, but does that justify half the RAM and half the disk?

That's not the limiting factor since Microsoft isn't interested in paying for you to use the model.

I agree. Intellectual property is not so different from any other kinds of property. At the end of the day, everything is intellectual property; your ownership of anything is merely a record written on some piece of paper or stored in some computers.

If we didn't assign value to abstract concepts, ownership contracts for tangible assets would only be worth the paper they're written on. Abstract ideas are inherently valuable.
> Just because your fortune sounds really convincing doesn't mean you should use it to buy lottery tickets.

You shouldn't buy lottery tickets anyway (and ChatGPT will tell you so, if you ask it). I have difficulty to understand where this negativity (not speaking of other downsides) regarding AI comes from. Yes, it talks BS sometimes, but so do people all the time. And, no, it's not the solution for all our problems, but for some things it is damn useful.

If GPT could explain such mangled functions reliably, it would mean it can detect isomorphic graphs, a known NP hard problem.

The reason is the variable names exist solely to define connections between inputs and outputs, and renaming them is sane as renumbering a graph.

I disagree with this take, fundamentally, because both innovation through iteration and through cognitive leap are both possible with algorithms that are complementary to the likes of ChatGPT. The addition of mutation, recombination and selection to the code for a system with a variety of different types of neural net available will allow them to develop increasingly rapidly.

In short, I don't think people are being imaginative enough about this stuff, given the number of additional ways in which it can be improved.

According to Money Today [1] the chip center is actually to be located in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do---about a hour away from the center of Seoul. Samsung is the primary investor to this center and will invest 300 trillion won (that's probably where $230B came frome) over next 20 years.

Nobody is saying humans are simply a big LLM, just that despite the means being different (brain vs digital weights) there are enough parallels to show that human cognition is as simple as common sense implies.

It's all just a dense network of weights and biases of different sorts.
You can see this in all post-colonial countries. There seems to be a common thread across them - countries that had some some democratic institutions before independence, AND managed to build some democracy-preserving institutions post-independence seem to have somewhat stable and even robust democracies.

India is a good example. Way before independence in 1947, there were parties and organizations engaged in the political process, often with internal democracies. This facilitated the shift to democratic traditions even post-independence. And while it's not perfect, India does have a strong democracy today with hundreds of parties, largely fair elections, and robust electoral participation.

Contrast this with a country like Sri Lanka that did not have the same engaged political class pre-independence and you can see how proper democracy never really thrived there post-independence.
Copyright is not necessarily the best way for creators to get compensated. For example, for most musicians in the US it's only a small part of their income [1]. Study is from 2013, could be different in the Spotify era, but it found that on average 12% of musicians' income came from copyright-related sources. 22% if you count session recording. Top-earners made a higher percentage from copyright. It isn't terrible, but it's not exactly the main way musicians are making money.

Writers make basically all of their money from copyright-related sources, but the median income from writing for full-time authors in the US is 20k [2].

My point is, copyright is a way to compensate creators for their work, but it's not the only way, and in practice for most people it doesn't do a stellar job.

Conveniently it seems that the smoking point of olive oil is about that, while its boiling point is ~300°C (570°F), which give nice physical cues without having a thermometer.
That's a shame, this book seemed like exactly what I was looking for.
I think we’re saying the same thing. Diet is where we can absolutely and totally avoid eating animal and animal derived products (at least in developed countries where it’s readily available). It’s healthy and viable, no human is sacrificed for this to happen.
> When Bing/Sidney first lamented its existence it became quite apparent that either LLMs are more capable than we thought or we humans are actually more of statistical token machines than we thought.

Some of the reason it was acting like that is just because MS put emojis in its output.

An LLM has no internal memory or world state; everything it knows is in its text window. Emojis are associated with emotions, so each time it printed an emoji it sent itself further into the land of outputting emotional text. And nobody had trained it to control itself there.
Yes and some people think the issuance of those presumed warrants are inappropriate. However, it’s been proven that the government doesn’t necessarily need warrants as they’ve had unlimited access to the firehouse of data directly through the PRISM program.
Not really, musicians used to copy, adapt, or mock other musicians music in the middle ages from what I've read, a famous example was Mozart transcribing the Vatican "secret" song. Same with art, painters have always learned by imitation. History is full of "copyright infringements" (if you look at it with a modern glass), either benevolent of apprentice learning from their masters or adversarial copying the competition.
Plausible is polished looking but it’s major flaw is trying to backup its clickhouse and Postgres from the containers they run in that had me rolling my eyes. Containerized apps have drawbacks…

Goatcounter ends up being more flexible, once you realize that their “everything is just a path” approach actually DOES give you what you need, and backing it up is a matter of SQLite dumping to a file even mid-action and it’s done

Strongly disagree. With lexical bindings it's on par with contemporary strongly typed dynamic languages like python. It does even have fancy pattern matching with pcase library built in, plus lots of fancy stuff for editing like thing-at-point.
The changes required to use the ChatGPT API that was released recently were very minimal.

And to use the new models is just a single line change.

So it’s very easy to switch over - if you have access.

> ChatGPT can do it.

This is truly the kind of suggestion that makes me wonder about the energy efficiency of websites.

To me it seems, that many web developers/designers are so happy with the fact that what they are doing actually works, they often forget other (more boring?) considerations like stability, maintainability, resilience, efficiency and such.

We have a LEGO set with infinite pieces and a good website in my eyes doesn't try to use as many as possible of those, but to use just as many as needed while still getting what you aim for.
> while thinking, designing and abstracting novel ideas into code is the hard part where AI would fall short and just waste my time.

So don't use it there :) But I'm curious what kind of coding you do that you never have to do any scaffolding, refactoring, or come across any element of repetitiveness.

That is where it shines imo. I find during those boring tasks it quite often just gets my intent, and I can say "yes actually that's exactly what I wanted".

Which allows me to get back to the business of "thinking, designing and abstracting novel ideas" quicker.
I don't think "more of the same" meets the bar for "meaningful and impactful".

I understand what you are saying, and I know that chat GPT generates nonsense on things it doesn't know and also does not respond that it doesn't know.

But let's consider that we feed GPT a blob of text, just like in the demo. Then ask it to solve a problem based on it and tell it to also show us the reasoning steps. If it just generates some meaningful text but does not solve the problem then we are sure it can't reason. But my question is how can it show me the steps? If it can't reason, where is the reasoning coming from?

I am trying to compare this with a human student. Let's say I gave a student the tax codes and nothing else. Then I give that student a tax calculation problem which involves knowing that the problem contains general tax calculation steps and also some special rules which are embedded somewhere in the tax code. When the student comes up to me with a correct answer, I don't immediately know that the student understands tax codes. To really know, I have to ask him how did you come up with the solution. If he can show me the steps then I will know he understood the tax codes. Beyond that there is no way to look into his brain and confirm that he has understood the problem.

So if GPT-4 can do the same, why would I not assume it has reasoning abilities? Maybe the process by which it comes up with the reasoning steps is different from us, but they are nonetheless reasoning steps.

I am not arguing that GPT can reason. I personally don't believe that. I am trying to understand how it can generate reasoning steps if it can not reason.
You are projecting your own view point into situations that make no sense.

Samsung is TSMCs biggest competitor. Their investment in this area is not out of the blue.
Yup. Having and paying employees is a good that deflects from all criticism of price.

When I doubled prices in my coffee shop, at first people were unhappy, but as soon as I told them I threw out the coffee grinding machine and replaced it with 3 new jobs of "hand-grinders", people were overjoyed and immediately stopped criticizing the price increase. I was just making money to pay employees afterall.

When I had to raise prices again because all the hand-coffee-grinder employees suffered severe medical injuries, everyone understood that too.

.....

My point, obviously, is that hiring a bunch of employees to design ways to trick people into clicking more ads (sorry, ahem, improving user engagement) doesn't mean that the company making money is suddenly an obvious and unquestionable good that can be used as a shield from other criticism
After the Sino-Soviet split, China would have been considered third world, like communist Albania was canonically considered. Any country not in the USA or USSRs orbit was technically third world even if communist.
I recommend just calling it software, or something specific like "image generator", "text generator". It gets the point across well, in my experience.
