Poor solutions do that, yes, but unlike ML control theory has a rich field for analysis and design.

You guys are talking about probably one of the few fields where an ML takeover isn’t very feasible. (Partly because for a vast portion of control problems, we’re already about as good as you can get).

Adding a black box to your flight home for Christmas with no mathematical guarantee of robustness or insight into what it thinks is actually going on to go from 98%-> 99% efficiency is…..not a strong use case for LLMs to say the least
Like many current LLM results, they're impressive considering the SOTA of ML until recently, but not very good in comparison to a good human baseline.
The problem with ASL compared to lip reading is that it's a form of self-segregation, limiting the deaf person to primarily communicating only with other people who know ASL. If these glasses are effective, it could help bridge that gap.
My point is that stories of the horrors of old-timey "insane asylums" bias people against modern mental hospitals which are not like that and are often the most appropriate way to treat serious mental illness.
I want a better client for Google Cloud Storage, too, while we’re at it. The Python gcloud / gsutil stuff is mediocre on the best of days.

I get the other bits, but what's the issue with citing Genesis? It doesn't use the names for Satan, but the serpent is commonly understood as the same entity. Are you looking for e.g. Job instead?
If you can do this with a company before taking a job, then you can certainly do it with other companies.
They seem to be taking this into account: We did no specific training for these exams. A minority of the problems in the exams were seen by the model during training; for each exam we run a variant with these questions removed and report the lower score of the two. We believe the results to be representative. (this is from the technical report itself: https://cdn.openai.com/papers/gpt-4.pdf, not the article).
Right, lots of legitimate reasons why a person might get laid off, yet there is an unfair negative association with it.

Hence stigma.
They wouldn't. Proof: Nobody cared about Cum-Ex. Nobody revolted after 2008 neither.
You yourself said that they get expensive very very fast. Of course I do not have an insider's view on OpenAI's economics. But let's be realistic here.
Berkson's paradox[1] is a useful lens to analyze inverse correlation. The pool of people doing interview prep are either smart or determined (to accumulate certifications) or both, but dumb and lazy people don't enter the pool, and an inverse correlation applies. Similarly, if an interview bar evaluates candidates though a combination of soft and hard skills and rejects those who lack both, even if soft and hard skills are independently distributed (or positively correlated with insufficient strength), soft and hard skills will appear to be inversely correlated.

Certs could be neutrally or even positively correlated with interview performance, but by pre-filtering the population, the opposite phenomenon arises.

I cannot stand the prosaic, repetitive, boringly formal nature of GPT/etc output. I also am tired of the randomly messy-surreal, illogical images generated by DallE/etc output.

HR/PR approved corporate communications are already crappy. From a practical viewpoint, I don’t want to wade through pages of bullshit boilerplate and illogical images. The future is bleak and boring…
Would love to see "Ender's game" type AI which can train the students with custom questions and answers.
I'm not sure I would classify your average warehouse worker as particularly intelligent. I would say AI already has the decision making and communication capabilities to do this sort of work. We're just lacking the robotics. In fact one of the main issues in our society is the vast gulf between the most intelligent and the least.
Humans can generally realize they don't know the complete lyrics of a song, instead of making up whole verses with 0 indication that it's not the real lyrics.

Could they not have easily excluded any page with terms like LSAT? I’m sure it wouldn’t catch everything but it would probably be close.
WikiBonsai: A jungle gym for thought with an API for the mind
It's available on ChatGPT Plus right now. Holy cow, it's good.
ChatGPT won't really help you improve your writing. It's got a terribly standard and boring voice. Most of the time generates 5 paragraph essays that make it super easy to sniff out. It might give you a couple common words it found in its training data to use, but you should stick to your elongated thoughts. Reading your writing out loud and editing will be just as good if not better than ChatGPT. Your comment here is pretty good. The first reply you made sounds... soulless.
What’s the best rumor on model size? That number can’t be easy to keep secret
GP didn't say anything about "outperforming" all humans everywhere all the time.

Just that AGI must be a replacement for a human for a particular job, for all jobs that are typically performed by humans (such as the humans you would hire to build a tech startup). It's fine to have "speciality" AGIs that are tuned for job X or job Y--just like some people are more suited to job X or job Y.

Which is pretty fair.
If you're in the Apple ecosystem, their continuity camera feature is really slick. It appears to use the 2x lens by default on my iPhone 12 Pro which is a 52mm equivalent (newer iPhones have narrower telephoto). The quality is excellent and it's completely hands off. It just activates itself if enabled on the phone.
At least Microsoft understands backwards compatibility and developer experience...
I'm sure that some VPN providers don't sell their users' data, but if you have no way of finding out which do and which don't, does it matter?
Yes, thus the question :)
Maybe AI will be the objective UBI governor.
What specifically? Because they don't use the latest hip UI framework that breaks interoperability in order to appeal to the selfsame 20somethings that advocated for it?

The site works for me, and probably everyone else. My accessibility-enhancing addon is able to detect the interface elements. It's functional, which is almost a four-letter word these days.

Just about every application that supports printing in Windows and Linux listens for print as Ctrl+P and has since Windows first came out and super keys didn't exist. Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, Outlook, Thunderbird, Word, WordPad, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, Paint, Photos, etc. all open their Print dialog when you do Ctrl+P. Why would I need Win+P to do Print when Ctrl+P is practically already the universal shortcut for printing?

Meanwhile, when I'm wanting to change my presentation mode for a projector, I'll press Win+P to change from extending my displays to mirroring or have only my local screen or only my remote screen or connect to a wireless display.
I don't think that's the user's intended meaning of "personal PhD," ie they don't mean a PhD or PhD level knowledge held by themselves, they mean having a person with a PhD that they can call up with questions. It seems like in some fields GPT4 will be on par with even PhD-friends who went to reasonably well respected institutions.
They're not. There are ethical options for animal products. You draw the line at any consumption is unethical so you disagree, and that's ok, but you're not gonna convince me by saying it's unethical because I don't think it is.
It seems particularly bad lately. The pattern I've noticed is:

* A totally pointless introduction paragraph, devoid of info.

* Big ad

* A sort of teaser sentence in large font so that it appears to be the length of a paragraph. High noise to information ratio.

* Larger ad that loads as you scroll, so you're more likely to accidentally hit it

* Another sentence with high noise to info ratio.

* Repeat.

I think one of the SEO perks of this pattern is how it takes forever to find the information that you know must be somewhere on the website, so users seem more "engaged" because they are scrolling and spending more time visiting the site.

That's precisely the problem: "Newsom, a multimillionaire who was a businessman before becoming a politician, has been dogged for years with ethics questions about his corporate holdings."

Where does it say I need Xcode installed?

Is there a list of prerequisites?

Hey thanks, after installing Xcode, that did resolve the issue.
The best doctor knows what's going on in the body. Has a good understanding of human biology at all levels, from molecular reactions to organ interactions. If I could feed test results to the AI and it would tell me what's wrong, that would be amazing. It's almost equivalent to building a simulation of the human body.
The difference is, every human is capable of critical thinking, whether or not they have been educated to do so or choose to make use of it.

LLMs do not have that capability, fundamentally.
You know Russia invaded Ukraine right? Somehow alluding to the US using Ukrainian people as proxy is just completely off-base.

There's only one government responsible for the war and needless deaths and that is Russia.
It takes 40% of your doctor time to put his notes in your medical records. We have been testing with doctors to reduce this time drastically so that they can spend more quality time with you. We also interviewed a lot of patients who take notes to be able to remember what’s been discussed during a consultation. So it could also benefit the patient
The silver lining might be us finally realising how bad standardised tests are at measuring intellect, creativity and the characteristics that make us thrive.

Most of the time they are about loading/unloading data. Maybe this will also revolutionise education, turning it more towards discovery and critical thinking, rather than repeating what we read in a book/heard in class?
Hopefully sacking everyone is a good deterrent.

That said, the vast majority of people don’t need to worry about the $250k limit. But companies do.

Should there be a separate limit for business accounts? Or is every business just supposed to juggle dozens+ of accounts if they’re big enough to stay safe?

Roku had $500 million in SVB. That would need 2000 accounts. But even small local business may have to deal with $1-2 million just in savings and payroll and such right?
And if yes, are there privacy issues?

Why are they doing this?

Ok. Fair. Venvs are great, unless you want to install packages on them.
What about a VPN that tunnels relevant traffic (i.e. usually the one to their backend API and/or DRM key/licensing server, not to their CDN) through residential connections in the same geography as the VPN relay?
This is extremely powerful. I wish this existed when I was a kid.
LLMs can ask questions too.
Embeddings via ada-002 give us a way to update the model in real time. Using Weaviate, or another dense vector engine, it is possible to write "memories" to the engine and then search those with concepts at a subsequent inferencing step. The "document models" that the engine stores can be considered a "hot model".
I think Chess is an easier thing to be defeated at by a machine because there is a clear winner and a clear loser.

Thinking, reading, interpreting and writing are skills which produce outputs that are not as simple as black wins, white loses.

You might like a text that a specific author writes much more than what GPT-4 may be able to produce. And you might have a different interpretation of a painting than GPT-4 has.

And no one can really say who is better and who is worse on that regard.
I stumbled on a video yesterday about the battle of Khasham, after a bit of research it is probably mostly hyperbola but there are some truths in there, one of which was that the first shots to stop the convoy were via mq-9.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viuUzGGac5M

It is a dark subject but I admit I laughed when the video got to the part where a b-52 was involved, a hulking monster of a strategic bomber, "Ahh man you tactical bombers get to have all the fun. Ok, get your lumbering ass over here, we are trying to send a message, so you get to drop some bombs too."
I didn’t say the quality of life was worse or equivalent to America. The improvements to quality of life in Europe are likely largely driven by government policy not for-profit organizations.
DRY needs to be balanced with SRP (Single Responsibility Principle). You can legitimately have two functions that are exactly the same but they should not be DRY'd up if they are actually serving different purposes.

The use cases will likely diverge in the future, and if the functions are DRY'd making changes will make introducing bugs from the calling code that you're not working on easy. Eventually the single function will likely have a lot of conditions in it, which is a red flag for this situation.
I don't know that I would classify Khan Academy as a tech giant. For the sake of argument let's say they are. Yes it is fair for them to get access earlier. Why would it not be?

The ability to learn skills that one does not already know, sometimes through years or decades of training, is a key part of general intelligence as normally exhibited in humans.
Do you mean the output of a LLM as the training data for the new model? What is the specification for the prompts that generate the training data?

Any links with more info?
Ask HN: What closed-source license can work for a business like renting plugins?
Lets say there are open-source options for a niche market but you see business potential in offering a closed source library to do the same (or slightly more) but more "solid" for production conditions (scale/load/network volume, etc).

What kind of licensing should one use for a business model that wants to scale with this?

Let's say for 1 plugin running in 1 container it has to pay a yearly renewable licensing fee of X. For 42 of these it would be x42 (or whatever proportion/discount of that gets negotiated).

I have no experience with software licensing and several plugin ideas to experiment to see if they have business potential but they will need a solid license. I'd appreciate the advice of who does. Thanks a lot.
I am interested that GPT4 botched AP Lang and Comp and AP English Lit and Comp just as badly as GPT3.5, with a failing grade of 2/5 (and many colleges also consider a 3 on those exams a failure). Is it because of gaps in the training data or something else? Why does it struggle so hard with those specific tests? Especially since it seems to do fine at the SAT writing section.
There were plenty of Star Trek episodes where it seemed like they should just ask the damned computer.

Then again, Data did show his faults, particularly not having any emotion. I guess we’ll see if that’s actually relevant or not in our lifetimes.
The technology sector is constantly evolving, with new companies emerging and others failing to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of consumer electronics. With so many players in the game, it can be difficult to determine which ones are truly at the top of their game. The burning question inside if you right now is what companies are in the technology field?
Do you know if/how someone can get involved with this at the research phase? I have a daughter who will be entering 1st grade next year and I'd be interested in having her try this out if there was a way of signing up.
They won't, but that doesn't mean some other business won't automate legal counsel and assume risk. If, down the line, GPT (or some other model) has empirically been proven to be more accurate than legal assistants and lawyers, why wouldn't this been the obvious outcome?
Would love to hear more about what you are looking for, my email is cswart [at] outlook.com
Surely on HN of all places we understand that life is not fair. OpenAI is looking out for their own bottom line. That means money, and PR.
Because tech giants can write checks that don't bounce (off of SVB).
This reminds me of CGP Grey’s “Digital Aristotle”, which actually references both Khan Academy and A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer

Curious what part of the Su hit the MQ's prop, which is mounted on the tail as a "pusher." How did the Su survive? Wingtip to the prop?
Am I the only one who thought that GPT-4 got this one wrong? It's not simply that it's ridiculous to plug what appears to be an outdated VGA cable into a phone, it's that the cable connector does nothing at all. I'd argue that's what actually funny. GPT-4 didn't mention that part as far as I could see.
9:1 on off contrast. Meh. This tech is a science project looking for an application (which is generally the problem with metamaterials).

I'm more of a fan of micro LEDs which could actually be a gamechanger in display technology.
Passing the LSAT is a fairly good indicator that a human can be a lawyer. It's not yet a good indicator that a large language model can be a lawyer.
Practice and study are conscious behaviors. Learning is not.
What location was that, out of curiosity, and what was the reason given?
I am curious what percentage of humans would also give the incorrect answer to this puzzle, and for precisely the same reason (i.e. they incorrectly pattern-matched it to the classic puzzle version and plowed ahead to their stored answer). If the percentage is significant, and I think it might be, that's another data point in favor of the claim that really most of what humans are doing when we think we're being intelligent is also just dumb pattern-matching and that we're not as different from the LLMs as we want to think.
I have so many questions. I enjoy teaching and would love to capitalize from it without the scam courses.
I don’t think Khan Academy would be considered as a Texh Giant. Or are you referring to OpenAI, the creator of GPT-4?
Fairness and morality aren't the same thing. Just because something is fair doesn't mean it's moral e.g.: splitting the baby in half, an eye for an eye, etc.

Morals are a specifically human societal feature.
I believe you’re missing some crucial points. *There is a reason neural network based flight controls have been around for decades but still not a single certified aircraft uses them.*

You need to do all of these things you’re talking about and then be able to quantify stability, robustness, and performance in a way that satisfies human requirements. A black box neural network isn’t going to do that, and you’re throwing away 300 years of enlightenment physics by making some data engorged LLM spit out something that “sort of works” while giving us no idea why or for how long.

Control theory is a deeply studied and rich field outside of computer science and ML. There’s a reason we use it and a reason we study it.

Using anything remotely similar to an LLM for this task is just absolutely naive (and in any sort of crucial application would never be approved anyways).

It’s actually a matter of human safety here. And no — ChatGPT spitting out a nice sounding explanation of why some controller will work is not enough. There needs to be a mathematical model that we can understand and a solid justification for the control decisions. Which uh…at the point where you’re reviewing all of this stuff for safety , you’re just doing the job anyways…
Garbage in, garbage out? Those examples are nonsense and I'm saying that as native speaker.
Why would you compare an entire language to a single technique like that? There is no "the problem" with ASL any more than there is "the problem" with english or any other language. Yes communicating across the barrier can be a challenge but that's just the nature of having more than one language in use.
> If machines cannot pass that test now (and right now it would take a skilled interviewer with substantial domain knowledge to cause a failure)

Does ChatGPT fail this simple test: "I am going to ask you questions, but if I go silent for a couple minutes, I want YOU to start asking ME random questions."
I tried it yesterday and it was great! Really simple to set up. Looking forward to updating and trying out the new changes. Thank you for this work!
> It seems increasingly that the concerns from the ethics branch have not come to pass at all.

Nonsense, there are countless ethical and alignment harms in the wild, and have been for many years. For example:

- midjourney ripping off artists = ethical harm

- google search telling people to throw batteries in the ocean = alignment harm

- Buzzfeed slashing staff and replacing them with chatgpt = ethical harm

- google photos labelling african americans as "gorilla" = alignment harm

- deep fakes = ethical harm

- COMPAS parole recommender biased against minorities = alignment and ethical harm

- Amazon resume screening model biased against women and minorities = alignment and ethical harm

...I could do this all day, but the point I'm trying to make is that AI ethics and AI alignment are both valid and important concerns. Hoping that companies will take care of them without regulation is folly.
Why would giving the depositors their money back tempt banks to take risks? SVB has totally folded. Its stock, and probably its bonds, are equally as worthless as they were before the government stepped in. I guess it could tempt other businesses to take risks like keeping all their money at one bank, but I’m not sure how big a deal that is.
I've tutored people at times. A good tutor needs to understand the subject very well, so they can not only understand the right answer but also figure out why the student is coming to the wrong answer.

I personally think that assigning GPT as a "tutor" is devaluing the real skill involved in tutoring and I doubt it will work out.
What's wrong with it? I'm a native speaker of neither, but they do sound similar (of course, gracias being pronounced South American style, not Spanish style). Except the fact that Spanish and English "r" differ, but I think it's reasonable for English speakers to know that, once they learn to pronounce Spanish "r".
How does this compare to goofys?
I think this goes in line with the results in the GRE. In the verbal section it has an amazing 99%, but in the quant one it "only" has an 80%. The quant section requires some reasoning, but the problems are much easier than the river puzzle, and it still misses some of them. I think part of the difficulty for a human is the time constraint, and given more time to solve it most people would get all questions right.
> People get accustomed to a certain way of doing it and disruption just means political upheaval

I think you have your own answer :-) .

How big is this model? (i.e., how many parameters?) I can't find this anywhere.
