I hope so and there is some kind of Moore's law for memory - especially gpu memorh. Even the mighty h100 has something like "only" 100gb? As model sizes grow exponentially memory sizes don't seem to be catching up. But yes hope these do get commoditized soon.

What I feel scared about is the economies of this. The so called democratized/commoditized chips are still controlled by Nvidia. So why Nvidia would give that up is not clear to me.

One thing I really wish could happen is the equivalent of seti project for model training and inference! (No btc/crypto please).
The people who put an AI in charge will have RTFM and fully understood it. They will do it anyway, as it will suit their own ends at the time.
While I am enthusiastic about using these new tools properly and ethically (for instance creativity or helpful insights) I do worry that nothing has been learned of the dotcom craze, the NFT craze and name another bubble here.

It is my sincere hope to that people stop and wonder for a moment before the gold rush adrenaline starts pumping.
It might be that humans might finally need to face the human problems.
No. You instructed the camera, placed it and set the angles.

If a monkey steals your camera and takes a selfy you can’t copyright that.

I could be wrong, but I think I remembered reading that in music at least, you have to do something with it (like capture it on paper or recording). I seem to remember reading this came about to prevent people from being able to say something was copyright because they maintained they had written something say 10 years ago but just not gotten around to recording it - and then wanted to sue. But this is vague memories from reading about the bizarre and convoluted world of music publishing....
In my experience a considerable amount of "knowledge" about implementations of business processes is carried around in people's minds. I have never seen specifications, documentation, comments, etc that sufficiently explain all the edge cases, potential error conditions, etc.

To realize your vision you will need to write specifications (aka prompt engineering) that are so rigorous that code can be automatically generated from it. That level of rigor is comparable to writing the actual programs.
> That's patently false. The majority of the progressive policies you speak of were legislated

They were still legislated, according to the systems those countries have for enacting legislation. Political horse trading among party coalitions is still democratic. That’s just representative democracy versus direct democracy. In the US by contrast, those same decisions were carved in stone by 9 people who by definition were members of the educated elite.

> There is no way to democratically win over those who want to live in 200 years ago with the traditions and practices that belong to two thousand years ago

Yes, I get that liberals think moral regulation is this distinct sphere that should be carved out from the democratic process and entrusted to committees of Harvard and Yale graduates. I’m simply pointing out that doing this makes the proles mad. Quite predictably so. You don’t need some Bircher conspiracy theory to explain what’s happening.

Story time: When my home country became independent and adopted a constitution, some elites had the bright idea to make “secularism” one of the founding pillars of the constitution. Of course a decade or so later the stupid hillbillies made Islam the official religion. To this day my dad is shocked by the “reaction.” But I’m like “what the f—k did you think was going to happen?”
So true. My fear is not of AI but the wielders of AI who sadly still remain mere human :)
It's a common sentiment that others don't know how computers work. I'm sure you personally are an exception, but I think that most people with this sentiment live in glass houses and don't realize how little they understand about how computers work. Since I don't know how they work, I can't provide comprehensive examples, but I remember being surprised by details around dynamic linking and relocatable binaries, around how vfs maps to more specific implementations, the implementation of hard disk drive firmware, the on-drive caches and the firmware that runs that, the implementation in terms of magnetic polarity for storing bits, and many more layers and details besides that I have yet to discover.
Don't worry - the Twitter web team also made this mistake. But they made it at a time when TS was popular instead of earlier when the two were equally popular.

Even well after TS was clearly the better option (as in 2022) the twitter web team opposed anything being done in Typescript like separate modules that would be a dependency of the web repo.

At least you recognize the better direction now.
With ControlNet and LatentCouple you are doing straight-up set direction. With Loras you are casting, costuming and directing the film/lens/lighting.
No there will not. Yes, you may have a GPT-4 substitute running on your 3090, but the billionaire will have GPT-666 or whatever running on a supercomputing cluster guzzling a significant fraction of the world's data every day and playing hi frequency idea trading on a scale never before seen.
That is also an excellent and important question.

Questions like that led to the GPL. They have led to other innovations as well. Yes, some people are always trying to figure a way around GPL and around every other well-intentioned thing. But still, BSD, MIT, MPL, and lots of other efforts have allowed the world to have and preserve some amazing things. And we need to keep asking those questions and keep coming up with spectacular answers.

Every great answer allows us to iterate better and better on what this world can be. Every great answer starts with a great question.
The internet is already full of garbage. GPT like models will accelerate the process, but honestly this is for the best. There are historical precedents for this situation. When garbage permeates a medium of communication, there’s a flight to quality. We’re already seeing this with the reemergence of paywalls on top tier sites.
Communication is meaningless in prisoner's dilemma.
Really excited for the future of TypeScript!
TypeScript ftw
I suggest you stick with the most popular tools in each category.

Front-end: Typescript, React.js + Next.js together, TailwindCSS

Back-end: Node.js + Express.js together

Database: PostgresSQL/MySQL. Either is fine.

If you learn these, you can create a modern full-stack web app that is production ready. This is also my personal go-to stack for web apps.

Some might suggest more hipster frameworks to learn but since you're a beginner, you should learn the most popular ones first because there are way more resources to learn and bigger communities to get help from.
https://github.com/mpoon/gpt-repository-loader/pull/17/ If you look at this PR, he had ChatGPT write the tests for him.

He wrote the issue on https://github.com/mpoon/gpt-repository-loader/issues/16 and summarized https://github.com/mpoon/gpt-repository-loader/discussions/1...

"Open an issue describing the improvement to make
Construct a prompt - start with using gpt_repository_loader.py on this repo to generate the repository context, then append the text of the opened issue after the --END-- line."

Feels like it needs to add a little Github client to be able to automatically append the text of issues at the end of the output. I'm sure ChatGPT can write a Github client in Python no problem.
The problem is the unfounded assumption that the code will be shitty 10 years from now. You really want to make that bet given the extreme velocity of recent progress? My expectation is that the code will actually be good.

I'm pretty sure they were attempting to cover it with fuel and then ignite it with their afterburners. They wanted to take the drone down but also be able to say that they never fired upon it. I think the idea was to get the US to respond militarily in some way so they can further portray the US as aggressors. Basically the Russian military acting like the scum they are.
I think the difficulty we're having in communicating here is that I'm not using "a priori" in the Kantian sense as being in contrast to "a posteriori", but rather in the colloquial sense of "having a prior existence".

It's also irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make how or whether humans have knowledge of some pre-existing things (through experience or through some other means).

Since you brought up axiomatic frameworks, I'll have to differ on that as well, as I don't think the majority of humans that talk about rights do so based on any kind of axiomatic framework, but rather on their biases and because they've essentially been brainwashed in to thinking that way through education, socialization, the media, peer pressure, parenting, etc..

So my view and Kant's view on this differ significantly, and while I give him credit for these terms, I don't subscribe to his views and don't feel bound to use these terms in the way Kant or Kantians would have me use them.
I made no such assumption. GP implied that bank runs wouldn’t hurt Australian banks. They would. That’s all.

You're single, right?

>Do something else! Play a videogame. Read a book. Go out and do something calming. Stop worshipping TV and movies and entertainment

Videogames and books are things you can't do with a partner. Going out is, but that takes a lot of time (travel time is a lot of overhead) and usually costs money unless you just go to the local park or something. Plus, it's restricted by the weather.

>And for god sakes stop sucking off the teat of these stupid subscription plans! The least we can do to fight pack is to pirate it.

Since this article is about YouTube TV, I'd like to plug the excellent Android TV app "SmartTubeNext". If you have a Google/Android TV, you can install this app (it's a bit of a pain since Google won't allow it in the Play store, so you need a downloader app to install it directly from GitHub) and watch YouTube videos without ads or sponsor segments.
It's a bit odd though. What if you built your own ML model and trained it over a set of data that your wrote yourself. Would the work generated by the AI based of your prompts be not be copyrightable?

The original copyright laws were thought up way before even cameras, and we're still trying to apply them today to generated AI. Why can't we just realize that the world is very different now, and just create new laws? Instead we keep trying to arbitrarily interpret the law in a biased way to try to fit our modern goals as best we can.
Do you think there's a demand for a service that enables sharing of AI prompts?
I know that Prompt for images takes some skill and knowledge, but do we still need a prompt engineer for GPT-4 (and beyond)?
If so, do you think there is a demand for a service that allows people to store and share their own prompts and organizational prompts?
You are right, but AI products are basically all currently being pitched as if that is unnecessary.
> I reckon with the speed of generative AI, that lines up pretty well with when my usefulness will be roughly equal to 0.

Unless you are in a tight specialty area where the writing is on the wall, and you're already close to being replaceable, I think you're over-estimating things. We don't have the much-vaunted paperless office, we're still not really with it with driverless-cars, robots haven't replaced us all yet and we have more work rather than less: so much of what people thought was the future is really a bunch of stuff that isn't there yet, or is not going to actually happen.

I'm nearly 50, and what I've learned is that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

You can start whenever. There's a story of a woman, at 80, who said she wished she'd taken up violin at 60. "If I had, I could've been playing for 20 years".

> Most RNA viruses that afflict humans are persistent (like Hepatitis)

RNA viruses:

- rhinovirus (common cold)

most respiratory and GI viruses that people commonly get are RNA viruses.

That seems an great way to take some very significant reputation hits.
Tokenization is purely an implementation detail. If OpenAI had cared, they could have deleted those obviously glitched tokens from their tokenizer. They just didn't inspect it carefully and/or care.

GPT4 does not suffer from the same glitched tokens as GPT3, presumably because it uses a different tokenizer.

Furthermore, there are LLMs that operate on single bytes instead of multi-character tokens, totally obviating that problem.
Alan Turing smiled from his tomb.
I'm not sure how addons can bypass V2 reCAPTCHAs as they operate from iframes and JavaScript can't acces cross-domain content to, ie, click buttons, access urls, or interact with forms. Nonetheless it seems to work, so maybe addon JavaScript is more privileged than developer-console JavaScript.

I've seen some v3 reCAPTCHA solvers, such as pyPasser, but I don't understand how they work. They seem to use a hard-coded constant to perform a replay attack to get a token which is guaranteed to succeed ie generate a high score. But... that can't be possible, can it?
Agree with everyone else and you want to go easy on people but then you get code like this:

public class C {
int x;

public C(int x) {
int x;
this.x = x;
}
}

and you waste an hour trying to work out why C(5) is not working as expected because god knows who would do that? (summarised from a real life example)
We cannot do that today, but how many days is that away? Is it measured in the hundreds, the thousands, or more?

I feel we're uncomfortably close to the days of the self modifing learning models.
Well, to be fair, they're not nearly as bad as Microsoft.

I've been changing my mind a lot on AI these past few weeks.

I don't think the price is what stops most people from reading books. People already have access to countless works they don't have time to read, adding a bunch of soulless ones to this seems like it won't change much.
They bought it over a year ago. Where ya been? Turns out it’s still the best place to buy DRM-free music.

Yes that's true. I think if we start transcribing automatically every meeting and conversation then that gap will be bridged. In addition, it could be part of the job requirement to talk to the chatbot and answer its questions which fill in the rest. Thoughts?
Yes, and most of those are not sold in the US.

You have to consider that you're wrong that it's just 36 months until your usefulness is 0. (I mean, why not 72 months?) You just don't know that with that level of certainty.

One scenario: some AI-written code makes a horrific mistake that makes the news. There's a huge backlash, and a number of companies decide they're more comfortable with human programmers. (Or at least, human programmer reviewing the code, or writing the code with an AI assistant.) Or for that matter, that there's legacy code at old-fashioned companies that just never got around to grafting on AI-powered programming tools. Bottom line: I think there will still be jobs for programmers, far beyond your three-year timeline.

A better question is: what do you want to do? If you really want to be a programmer, you could try "future-proofing" your skillset. (For example, going into AI programming -- the one job title that's going to increase in an AI-dominated future.)

My other bit of advice: start saving money now. Everyone should do this at your age. There's huge tax advantages to putting money into retirement accounts -- and it just grows and grows over the decades. (But also, if you're truly worried about your high-paying career ending -- then start socking it away now.)

Not sure how to calibrate those. I didn't buy 3 of them to measure the accuracy.
Sounds like clean room, and if you can do that for GPL code, you can also do that for proprietary code, which is fair in a sense. Or maybe the question is whether you can re-label the code so written as GPL or MIT ......Or, you should let GPT pick a license that it likes.

I mean it did leave out about 7 and a half billion people dying. You require the power grid and supply chain to keep clean water and food on the table, and even if for some reason you personally don't, there are millions of people around you that would be very hungry and take your stuff if the grid stops and doesn't come back.

This is why the AI actually wins. We are already dependent on lessor versions of it. The machines already won.
I tell people this all the time. My job really isn’t coding. My job is translating fuzzy business requirements into structured schemas and procedures. Coding is just a tool I use to accomplish this.
The famous example illustrating PD created by Albert W. Tucker does have no communication - so that parties don't coordinate and cooperate with each other - but in this case with thousands of parties, there was no way to coordinate them all, or communicate with them all in time, or trust them all, so it still counts. It's possible to set up prisoner's dilemmas with communication, say in cases where it's a one off and the parties have every reason not to trust each other's word.
For anything like animation in React I would use CSS transitions or using direct updates on refs without triggering rerenders. It takes only a simple model of "what a rerender is" to understand that this is running potentially _way_ more code than it needs to for every update and injecting scripting frames before the actual animation update happens.

So this should be `ref.current.style = {x: <whatever>, y: whatever}`. It's also a great use for useImperativeHandle() if it gets any more complicated. This is the example from the docs updated to use a ref: https://codesandbox.io/s/lucid-grothendieck-iquzfj?file=/App...

On this example it pretty much looks the same, which I assume is because of what the sibling comment says, that any cursor drawn in software is going to be slower than in hardware, and the animation and app are trivial so the rerender is basically free. But this way is still better, and it'll be more obviously better if the components being animated are complex. There's not going to be any way to do it faster in JS, but React can be a lot slower depending on what happens on rerenders (which is often, if using imported components, somewhat out of your control).
Stock doubled because of the layoffs and $40B stock buyback.
It was surprising to us (here at Retool) that visual programming has never taken off, despite countless attempts over the past few decades. (That's why we started Retool, after all.) But Visual Basic is probably the product that came closest, and that's why we wrote this homage to it. It, along with Filemaker, Hypercard, are products that we loved. And we always wished that they had flourished, since then we wouldn't have had to start Retool, hah! As Linus says (in the article):

> “For example, I personally believe that Visual Basic did more for programming than Object-Oriented Languages did,” Torvalds wrote, “yet people laugh at VB and say it's a bad language, and they've been talking about OO languages for decades. And no, Visual Basic wasn't a great language, but I think the easy DB interfaces in VB were fundamentally more important than object orientation is, for example.”

The big clue here, is that if we allow generated content to be copyrighted, then some asshat company will just generate All The Things (within, say, a given space) and copyright them (likewise for trademarks and patents, which could be much easier to exhaust within defined spaces). Combined with the lifetime of companies and the preposterous copyright extensions granted to them, swaths of human-generated work could be excluded from copyright, blocked by some hidden trove of copyrighted machine output. Especially bad if someone manages to copyright everything that could be generated by some AI.
