Yes, and the fact that this person feels so clearly comfortable acting as if there's a single moral standard for all of humanity...

Let's just say, there's enough fundamentals missing that my pessimism about the folks pushing AI isn't yet pessimistic enough.

Ha, oh boy there was a dig at "woke" in there too, but the GP was smart enough to not use that word. Gimme a break, these folks that act like they understand the world and their opinion is some universally-true common denominator are seriously out of touch.

Edit:

My dad beat me and I came out good. You can't make this shit up. I have friends that killed themselves as queer teens. Guess they weren't strong enough.
That's because any expectation of GPT being subjectively or logically correct is ill-founded.

GPT does not model subjects. GPT does not even model words! It models tokens.

The structure of GPT's model is semantic, not logical. It's a model of how each token in the text that is present in GPT's training corpus relates to the rest of the tokens in that text.

The correct answer to a familiar logic problem just happens to be the text that is already present in the corpus. The answer GPT gives is the text from GPT's model that is semantically closest to the text in your prompt.

Knowing that, it is no longer a mystery how GPT "gets confused": the text in your "misleading prompt" was still semantically closest to the familiar answer.

The result is subjectively and logically wrong, because subjects and logic were never involved in the process!

In order to resolve this, ChatGPT's training corpus needs to contain a "correct answer" next to every unique permutation of every question. We can't expect that to be the case, so we should instead expect GPT to generate false, yet familiar, responses.
NAT does nothing? The NAT setup is the reason incoming connections don't reach devices on the LAN. I get that you can phrase this as NAT actually being the thing forwarding the packets, and on a home ipv4 router without NAT the incoming packets would just go nowhere, but everyone is talking about the realistic options of NAT vs device having own public IP addr.

I get that an ipv6 router can have a firewall with good defaults blocking incoming connections, emulating that aspect of a NAT.
I think some accounts get flagged for whatever reason and it's used as a punishment. If you create a new account from Tor the problem doesn't replicate so... Go figure.
> I know of no single incident of SHA-256 or SHA-3 having collisions successfully generated.

That's fine, I don't expect you to believe me without evidence. But I have seen this happen more than once in my work.

> you are relying on someone having selected a weak password

Stated another way, you are relying on having some idea of what the original data looked like, so you can reduce the search space. Absolutely correct.

However, if you're hashing public records like real estate, where you literally have the clear text, that's a much simpler problem than cracking passwords. All you need to do is alter the document in the way that you want, then find what other changes are needed to create a collision with the original hash. This is not very computationally intensive compared to password cracking.

Add in that the amount of money on the line with real estate can be high enough that it would make it worth throwing serious resources at it -- more than the average password cracker could even begin to summon -- and my confidence in the security of the hashes is greatly reduced.

Here's an interesting general overview of the problem: https://medium.com/asecuritysite-when-bob-met-alice/can-i-cr...
I’m not sure how you can read hostility into my comment when I plainly stated I didn’t think you were commenting with ill intent. Ignorance doesn’t require intent though.

ASL isn’t a “foreign” language. It’s an American language. In fact, it’s more “American” than English. People who communicate via ASL aren’t foreigners on holiday. They’re our friends and family and neighbors. You are absolutely correct in your assumption that being able to communicate with those around you is important!

Imagine if everyone around you just refused to engage with you verbally and would only communicate via text messages. If you’re speaking they completely ignore you until you write it down. If they’re speaking while you’re around it’s always in whispers so that you can really only get bits and pieces. How would you feel? Annoyed? Excluded? Like you’re not able to fully understand conversations?

Your travel analogy doesn’t hold water because (in addition to Deaf people not being foreigners or guests!) you seem unwilling or unable to understand that (1) hearing is a critical component of effective verbal communication and (2) Deaf people can’t hear. Again, I’ll chalk it up to ignorance rather than ill intent but your analogy as a whole is pretty gross to paint Deaf people as entitled, unreasonable, and demanding. Your analogy is akin to suggesting it’s unreasonable for me, a person who can walk, to rollerskate everywhere I go and it would be unreasonable for me to expect curb cuts just so I could rollerskate everywhere so therefore it’s unreasonable for people who use a wheelchair to expect curb cuts. If someone who uses a wheelchair wants to use the sidewalk they should just try fucking walking right? I don’t know why no one has thought of that!
I think what you say goes for most jobs. Why would GPT know much detail about being a machinist or luthier?

Eventually job and role specific information will be fed into these models. I imagine corporations will have GPTs training on all internal communications, technical documentation, and code bases. Theoretically, this should result in a big increase in productivity.
Well, there’s also the question of what kinds of acts do you want to enable and participate in.

As a content moderator at Midjourney, I get to think about this a lot :) People are free to do whatever they want on their own machines. But, the team behind Midjourney does not want to work day and night to effectively collaborate on making images of porn, gore, violence or gross-out material. So, that’s against their TOS. I respect the team and the project. So, I put a lot of effort into convincing users to find other topics even through I’m personally a fan of boobs and Asian shock theater.

I've been partnering Duolingo with ChatGPT for a while now. I'll ask ChatGPT "Why was this wrong? What was my mistake?" and it explains exactly what I needed to know every time.

I think this combo is going to work fantastically well.
> I'm honestly not sure what you are arguing.

I'm arguing that reporting the conflicts of interests of politicians is in fact the job of the news media, it's up to the voters to judge those conflicts of interests, given that information, and the information should not be ignored or suppressed by the media, so "this is just unnecessarily conspiratorial" doesn't make sense to me.

What exactly do you propose the media do instead?

> Name me a politician and I can point you to their benefactor.

That's what the submitted story was doing. What's wrong with that?
I understand why Duolingo is concentrating on what makes them money and what the most learned languages are.

But as someone interested in "less popular" languages I don't like it. Even the Chinese course hasn't been expanded since it came out. And Finnish probably never will be expanded, since it was entirely volunteer driven and they don't do that at all anymore.
Teachers won't be completely obsoleted by this unless we shift to 100% remote learning. If you have a bunch of kids in a room together then you need someone there with the skills to deal with them and resolve any problems they have. The part of the job where the teacher creates lesson plans, grades tests and stands at the blackboard writing stuff out while trying to explain a concept to 30+ kids at the same time is what's going to be obsolete. Ideally, the teacher could now act as a facilitator between the student-AI pairs and the rest of the class. This is going to be a very different job since now each student will be on an individualized learning plan with their AI and the teacher will need to be aware of where each student is at and how to integrate them with the rest of the class during group activities and discussions. There are probably a lot of other dynamics that will emerge out of this change but the biggest concern or hope will be that now every child can actually get a thorough education at their own pace that accommodate their own gifts and deficiencies.
Interesting.

The robots might know everything, but do they wonder anything?
Rewrite the problem in way that doesn't make it biased to common priors and it reasons it out just fine

"Suppose I have an object of type C, an object of type G and an object of type L, and I need to get them across a river. I have a boat that can only carry myself and a single other object. I am not allowed to leave the objects of type C and L alone together, and I am not allowed to leave the objects of type L and G alone together. How can I safely get all three across?"

"This is a classic puzzle known as the "river crossing problem". Here's how you can safely get all three objects across the river:

First, take the object of type L across the river. Return alone to the original side of the river. Take the object of type C across the river. Return with the object of type L to the original side of the river. Take the object of type G across the river. Return alone to the original side of the river. Finally, take the object of type L across the river again. By following these steps, you can safely transport all three objects across the river without violating the restrictions given in the problem. Note that you have to start with the object of type L because it cannot be left alone with either of the other two objects. Once L is transported to the other side, you can use it to ensure that C and G are never left alone together."

Or With Bing, you don't even need to tell you what it assumed wrong - I just told it that it's not quite the same as the classic puzzle, and it responded by correctly identifying the difference and asking me if that's what I meant, but forgot that lion still eats the goat. When I pointed that out, it solved the puzzle correctly.

Thank you for correcting me. That's a deep rabbit hole
What's the difference between statistics and logic?

They may have equivalences, but they're separate forms of mathematics. I'd say the same applies to different algorithms or models of computation, such as neural nets.
Perfect use-case for Garph:

You have a TypeScript backend and TypeScript frontend and want to expose the GraphQL API to third-party consumers or add a mobile app into the mix

And since Garph produces a spec-compatible GraphQL API you can use it with existing tools like Hasura, Apollo, Stellate, AWS AppSync, etc.

Usually bondholders are also wiped out during a bailout. Bailouts are generally for customers / counterparties, not investors.

Sometimes in a bankruptcy, bondholders take a "haircut" and agree to get less money back because the company simply can't pay them what they're owed.
Do you post under your real identity on twitter? And pseudonymoulsy on reddit?
You should be apologizing to yourself. This stance, which I'm sure you see as reasonable (it's not), is directly causing you a problem, a problem that you're here asking for help to resolve (but it's already been flagged). You're free not to get an email address, but you're also the one rate limited to 5/day, so it seems the ball is in your court.

The idiom that comes to mind is "cutting off your nose to spite your face."
> Senior engineers are affected.

Quite the opposite - good code generation replaces junior engineers more than seior ones.

> No wonder there is so many layoffs.

The layoffs have been completely unrelated so far.
Generating instructions and specs detailed enough to do exactly what you want is programming.

Evolving a working programing to do something slightly different is programming.

AI will augment software engineers not replace them.
> It also isn't generating "the most likely response" - that's what original GPT-3 did, GPT-3.5 and up don't work that way.

I think it's downvoting. It's one thing to see (what you think is) a really bad reply to you get some likes, it's another to see a negative number next to your comment, I feel much more compulsion to defend myself for the latter.
What issues did you run into?

From a technology perspective it's been rock solid for years in my experience.

Where issues crept in it was always due to people not understanding the architecture and patterns you need to use e.g. anti-patterns like splitting batches into multiple messages, "everything must be stored in Kafka" thinking, not understanding how offset commits work, not understanding when to use keys or the effects of partitioning, resetting offsets on a live topic, aggressive retention policies etc.
I know I will be downvoted for this, but there is something sinister about two companies that inject woke values into everything they do, Duolingo and Open AI, teaming up in the area of education. It is a sort of insidious, invisible brainwashing.

My pure guess is that those will hire some interns and new grads, but the # will very likely be substantially reduced. It's going to be a quite rough year, so better have a plan B.
This actually has nothing to do with fine-tuning in the technical sense. You are actually using vector search and injecting the results of that into the prompt for GPT.

It is a good approach, but to use the word “fine-tuning“ for that is confusing, given that OpenAI actually has a process for fine-tuning, which works in a very different way.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has a similar link to other viruses and fibromyalgia quite possibly does as well. They haven't really made a whole lot of progress on those for decades despite them each affecting a percent or two of the population..

My interest is less in long covid than in whether the medical community is finally going to get itself together on viral induced damage instead of making up funny names for different combinations of damage.

It’s actually not difficult to believe at all in my opinion.

They had 105b plans prepared, filed and approved by outside entities. You can see in the SEC documents and company filings all of the sales were pursuant to those plans, which are also commonly done to cover tax obligations throughout the year due to the vesting of stock.

KPMG passed SVB’s audit and several top financial firms had SVB’s default risk at around 2.5%.

The executives didn’t expect a “run on the bank” and those longer-term assets had been underwater for awhile & the financial market knew but expected they would be fine when they came to maturity.

They booked a loss to shift funds into shorter-term securities with higher yields to hedge and hindsight is 20/20 but they should’ve hedged sooner.

Overall, I don’t believe there was anything nefarious here & if we dislike the 105b rules, as many do, that should be the outcome of this review - that they need to change.
That makes no sense. And I have less confidence than before that you know what you're talking about.
I just say "oh okay".

The article is pretty biased by comparing the complexity a schema free scenario (MQTT) to Kafka with Schema.

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.

And in 90% of the case, that could have been replaced by a trivial lightweight mosquito (MQTT) server for 10% of the operating cost.

Kafka is a monster of complexity notoriously hard to operate (Hello ZooKeeper) and to understand properly (Hello ordering, persistency and partitions).

There are lots of educational games or apps around language learning. Nobody is as successful as Duolingo. Or as useful as Duolingo, at least in whatever Duolingo chooses to do.

I don't even think they think being compared to a game is a bad thing. What makes Duolingo the best in its field is the content and the varied exercises with a high quality.

I rolled my own system, initially with MotionEye, and then rolled over to Frigate. I appreciate the extra object detection feature in MotionEye, whereas MotionEye really only records on, well, motion. Even with two 720P streams, I'm able to do motion detection and object recognition on an ancient Core2Duo Mac Mini, no TPU.

No data leaves my LAN unless I want it to.

The most painful part of the whole process was the YAML files for Frigate.

I stay for a couple of worthy subreddits. Overall the site is trash.

The subreddits for my local city are slowly turning into a weird BLM/Nextdoor hybrid though. Any mention of cops results in an endless parade of ACAB/bootlicker comments and most of the rest of the content is nitpicky complaints.

I'm not sure where else I can go to stay connected with some local folk though.

My favorite trope on Reddit is when you explain something clearly and people respond that you haven't given an example or explained or whatever. It's not that you haven't explained, they just don't accept your explanation and demand more.

I've taken to increasingly absurd responses to this trope. I often explain with perverse metaphors involving their mothers. Highly recommend finding your own flavor of fun responses to this ludicrous bad faith response.

I mean if the machines are generally intelligent in the human sense and unaligned with human interests I'm assuming that the mega-corporation would be its own slave to the machine too. The machine would give the mega-corporation more power, simply because that's the number one way to increase the power of the machine. If super intelligence is possible, it seems that a greedy power hungry corporation would gladly create it to gain more power, and then lose control of the situation.
Twitter is a megaphone at best, and a series of bumper stickers at worst. Reddit is a cocktail party. If you want to say your piece, and can’t handle criticism, Twitter is the place. If you care about context and nuance, Reddit is much better.
