Leetcode (hard) from 0/45 (GPT-3.5) to 3/45 (GPT-4).

The lack of progress here, says a lot more about is NOT happening as an AI paradigm change. Still a glorified pattern matching and pattern creation engine, even if a very impressive one.
"Interestingly, the base pre-trained model is highly calibrated (its predicted confidence in an answer generally matches the probability of being correct)."

Is that the same confidence measure you can tease out by prompting "to each of your statements output your estimated confidence in it's truthfulness" ?
Not fully true.

I guess the major downside of this approach is that your state is spread through a call stack rather than in a parse stack sitting in an array and a pointer somewhere.

That makes error recovery really really difficult, because you have to unwind the call stack to the next recovery state rather just messing with the contents of the array and pointer.

I can understand the teaching value in doing it this way but students really need to understand the value of table driven tools in the real world
The FED is not trying to push unemployment, they just accept it as a cost to curb inflation which is always enemy number one. Interests rates and unemployment are correlated; you make borrowing more expensive, people invest less and become more conservative, often by trimming.

EDIT: Fixed correlation sign.
It's a bit weird that it still doesn't get 3 digit multiplications correct, but the last digit seems right.

What is more bizarre is that all of it's errors seem to be multiples of 60!

I'm wondering if it is confusing 60 based time (hour second) computations for regular multiplication?

We might consider certain humans to have had innovative or original thoughts.

It is probably true that at a given point many many people had the same or very similar ideas.

Those who execute or are in the right place and time to declare themselves the originator are the ones we think innovated.

It isn't true. Or rarely is true. History is written by the victor (and their simps)
It would be interesting to see how this compares to other solutions in this space, such as s3fs (the FUSE driver, not the python package), goofys, and the rclone mount feature, among others. This certainly has less features (notably, mounts are read-only!).
this was my '1984'. i was 15, had it in my head that i was destined to become a revolutionary.

i gave it to a friend and they came away feeling like they needed to become a teacher; i came away wanting to be a novelist, or a father. in any case, it definitely changed my world view. not sure how i'd feel about it nearly a decade later, but i'll take this a sign to re-read. cheers!

A synthetic intelligence as smart as a dog or chimp would have enormous value.
Pretty much what it sounds like
So it's the sarcasm you object to? I guess that's all you've got.

"the Japanese Economic Miracle & MITI" -- yes, in fact I'm quite familiar with those. After the country was destroyed and a new society was being built, it was hardly possible not to hit a home run. Opportunity was everywhere you looked. How's it done since 1990? You haven't addressed that.

As for DARPA & NASA: you're half right. DARPA did help guide the Internet towards TCP and away from OSI. Note that the "industrial planners" in the US and in Europe were on the wrong side of that one, all the way. The French had Minitel, which was actually a pretty good idea, and then frittered it away.

As for NASA: the shuttle was a master class in how to waste money, so I don't think you want to point at that. And both NASA and DARPA were consistently opposed by nearly everyone on the left end of the ideological spectrum, It's only after you see how they turned out that you can manage to hold them up as shining examples. At the time I'm sure you'd have been opposed.

So drop the snobbery. I know the history better than you do.
You probably should be asking yourself how important is this to you/your company and how is it going to be resourced, because the operational overhead of running this is non-trivial, and certainly not set-and-forget. You technically can do it yourself, but there's a reason ESPs[1] exist.

Durastar 36k Dual head unit from ACwholesalers, buy 2 stage harbor freight vacuum pump, micron gauge from amazon, a bunch of manifolds, and fittings and adaptors from amazon, some NICE shredder core extraction tools, a NICE line set flaring tool, a pipe cutter, pre-insulated line set, 14/4 cable from outdoor unit to indoor units, 5/8 AC condensate pipe from indoor units outside, lots of zip ties, pipe wrap, and line hide. I pre-provisioned a 40amp breaker and an outdoor disconnect/breaker panel (and an extra 120v GFCI plug so i could easily run the vacuum pump). Sub-panels are your friend.

I used all Aluminum SER cable to run the sub panel and a copper whip from the outdoor unit to the breaker (terminals on the AC unit are rated for copper wire).

If you had a forced air gas system, you can get a heat pump coil and condenser to replace the AC unit. ACwholesalers has those too. If you are able to, you can add one to your system and run "dual fuel" where the heat pump runs down to about freezing, and only kicks on the gas for heat when it is outside the efficiency range of the heat pump (model dependent).

My house is annoying to condition. It was built in 1987 by people who had interesting notions about efficiency, space usage, and material selection. As a result, the surface area to volume ratio is pretty poor and it is not very efficient. the duct design is...TERRIBLE...and so a lot of the house wasn't served well by the HVAC.

I added a mini split to address the considerable heat load on the southern side of the house, and am working to replace the air handler and duct work entirely for the rest of the house.

Central air can do several things mini splits can't do, and that's why I want to keep it instead of just adding 4-8 more zones of minis splits, which would be WAY easier. 1. Air filtration, 2. Fresh air intake 3. Humidification 4. air mixing. it also seems to be the cheapest way to solve heat/cool + the things I just mentioned. Even with ducting. Design/Sizing/install is worse and harder. Leaking/poorly insulated ductwork can also cost a lot of energy and so takes a lot of effort to prevent.

HVAC as a mechanical system in homes is pretty awful, and the load calculations are frequently not well in line with the "theory" of system capabilities. Static pressure, air exchanges, etc all play Major roles in system sizing and make it very hard for technicians who do not live in a house to accurately evaluate the "real" load vs the theorized one.

There is academic research into ratings quality, i.e. ex post facto analysis of credit ratings. Sort of like buying skis, there's no best rating agency for all products.
Immediately I'm very much looking forward to a day where language learning is like this. No Duolingo gamification nonsense... I want something that remembers what words I know, what words I kinda know and what I should know next and has an ongoing conversation with me.

I think this will totally change the way we educate and test. As someone for whom the education system really didn't serve well, I am very excited.
I also tested logic puzzles tweaked to avoid memorization. GPT3 did poorly, GPT4 got a few of them. I expect humans will still be useful until GPT6 solves all these problems.
Just spitballing, I think you’d need a benchmark that contains novel logic puzzles, not contained in the training set, that don’t resemble any existing logic puzzles.

The problem with the goat question is that the model is falling back on memorized answers. If the model is in fact capable of cognition, you’d have better odds of triggering the ability with problems that are dissimilar to anything in the training set.
They're being generous by saying it was merely a lack of competence. If they were in another mood, they could say that their aircraft was deliberately attacked in an act of war.
As a patient, this is an application that I would be extremely wary of, personally. I don't want the details of my conversations with my doctor to be sent to a third party in the first place, and I wouldn't trust the results of the transcription to be correct.

My doctor could vet it for accuracy, I suppose, but why? He's already putting his notes in my records anyway.

"most" is an interesting choice of word here.

> Mullvad does not log anything and it makes sense.

That might well be true, but anonymous payments are no proof, or even supporting evidence, for your claim.

It could still be very lucrative to resell data in the form of "users who access foo.com often also access bar.com" – and you can probably see why that could easily be deanonymizing.
Hey, Vykintas from NordVPN here. Hackernews looks to be a tough crowd, so I wanted to add a few things. Today as you correctly spotted we released a Linux app as well as Libtelio and Libdrop open source - a step towards more transparency. Can see quite a few conspiracy theories there, happy to address them. While no service out there is perfect, we are aiming to create the best VPN service. Nord isn't keeping any logs, is continuosly audited and since today looking to build in the open. Nord has never been a part of any kind of botnet.

Besides open sourcing - today we launched Meshnet free so you don't need a subscription to use it to connect your own devices, spin up your own VPN server etc. Hope it will be useful.

If you have doubts about Nord - I will try to answer your questions.
I have an idle team to hold a namespace for brand protection / to prevent squatting on the namespace that matches my GitHub organization.

Since the Docker daemon defaults to using Docker Hub, this feels like a dirty move to me. If I want 2 members to ensure someone can always control that namespace, do I have to pay $240 per year now?

I’d pay $20 per year for that since it helps prevent large scale squatting, but $240 per year under the threat of deletion feels like extortion.

Every pushbutton has a limited number of times you can press it. A close door button is usually pressed many times by impatient passengers. So it will wear out more quickly than any other button.
You expect too much out of the 1. The incredibly psychopathic tech oligarchs and 2. Microsoft, who has an equally questionable moral/ethical standing that seems to worsen by the day.
I played role of Monty with another person. They chose a door, I revealed a different door, and they switched (or not).

That got my head around it. Most of the time the door I "chose" to reveal was no choice at all. There was only one door I could open.
Too bad they didn’t do this at least six months ago. The federal government really needs to take a hard look at the ratings agencies.
You have no idea what I worked on, yet you're quite confident that it didn't increase security or privacy.

Ok.
I fully agree that informed consent is necessary before funnelling connections for others, esp. given varying local laws around internet traffic responsibility.

However, I also think this is the only way to bypass streaming sites blocking VPNs - the whole reason for using such a service in the first place.

IMHO the shadiness is only around consent and not the means. Unfortunate, but such is reality.
I think GPT-4 has made substantial improvements here.
It depends on the listener's relationship with the person in question.

If you're on the receiving end, then that model and the act done to you are irrelevant.

If someone is applying for a job and they tell you "I was fired from my last job" vs "I was laid off from my last job", that changes your perspective on them.

Having terms that distinguish whether or not it's "for cause" are a useful language feature.
I saw on tiktok (yeah I know) where a lawyer says they never use it because you can be liable for stealing for anything you forgot scan. I never use it cause occasionally the cashier will let you know that there is a coupon for something you are purchasing.

No, I am saying there is a stigma for being laid off, which comes from the (incorrect) belief that companies don't layoff their top performers.

As noted, there are many reasons why layoffs may occur, however, the stigma of being laid off exists.
Yeah it existed before but it was pretty futile; you can’t exactly send millions of dollars in the form of target gift cards by mail.

Any rescue beyond the $250K insured limit is basically tempting other banks to take similar risks in the future. It is a bad omen for the American financial machinery.

And I sincerely hope I am wrong on this count, and this is just an outlier...

I hear this a lot from Americans that haven't been here. But I'm talking about Europe _right now_, not some imaginary fairy tale land.

> I think you'd have a hard time quantifying your perspective

I can only talk of my own experiences of course, but the majority of Americans I've talked to who have stayed for more than a month (more than just a holiday) are amazed at how high the quality of life is here, and how friendly people are.

> It's not the only assessment. Just statistically likely that it's the majority.

Perhaps in America — and I'd believe it, I've visited a few times — but not here. Unfortunately, it's also a self-fulfilling prophecy; the more you believe it, the truer it becomes.
Things like that probably require some kind of thinking ahead, which models of things kind kind of can't do-- something like beam search.

Language models that utilise beam search can calculate integrals ('Deep learning for symbolic mathematics', Lample, Charton, 2019, https://openreview.net/forum?id=S1eZYeHFDS), but without it it doesn't work.

However, beam search makes bad language models. I got linked this paper ('Locally typical sampling' https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.00666.pdf) when I asked some people why beam search only works for the kind of stuff above. I haven't fully digested it though.
Eventually there will spring up a religious cult of AI devotees and they might as well pray to Neurolonk.

A lot of what GPT-4 can return is ideas based on assumptions and beliefs. Who chooses what of these to train the system? Those subtle ideas will then lead students who are mostly children.

Your argument is this: "Rather than give up 2% of our income, we should condemn all our descendants for the rest of time to a blighted ecosystem."

> a catastrophe over 50 years.

It is a palpable obscenity for you to use the word "catastrophe" to refer to a 2% decrease in the GDP but not for the complete devastation of our biosphere.

I heard a theory once that only a certain number of human souls were ever created, and after that, a lot of people got born with partial souls or no souls at all.

I don't like how the home page at http://news.ycombinator.com/ sorts by a combination of score and time-since-posting because that means that I end up scanning each entry (story title) over and over.

In contrast, if they were sorted strictly by time-since-posting, I would probably quickly be able to tell once my scan of the list reached the part of the list I had already seen.

Someone else (many years ago) had the same thought as what I wrote above, motivating him to create http://hckrnews.com/, which is mainly what I use to find stories to read. (I also use https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%s&sort=byDate to find stories to read.)
Maybe Sudokus? Sudokus are np-complete and getting the "pattern" right is equivalent to abstracting the rules and solving the problem
That's really all Chinese to me.

The best way to understand it:

Think of a version with 100 doors, 99 with goats and 1 with a car.

You choose a door, and the host opens 98 doors that have goats. Do you keep your randomly chosen door or switch to the single door that the host didn’t open?

Silicon Valley’s Titans Are Realizing a Lot of People Don’t Like Them
Sorry but this is the reason it’s unable to solve the parents puzzle. It’s doing a lot but it’s not logically reasoning about the puzzle, and in this case it’s not exhibiting logical behaviour in the result so it’s really obvious to see.

Eg when solving this puzzle you might visualise the lion/goat/cabbage, and walk through the scenarios in your head back and forth multiple times until you find a solution that works. A LLM won’t solve it like this. You could ask it to, and it will list out the scenarios of how it might do it, but it’s essentially an illusion of logical reasoning.

Background: researched this space for a graduate degree.

There are a few issues that are unanswered by this video (which isn't intended to be a technical deep dive, but I don't see any related links in the video description):

1. How do these glasses handle multiple simultaneous speakers? Based on the display I saw, it shows the speakers' words sequentially, which starts to fall apart in real-world environments, especially group conversations. This is a big problem, and wider adoption is contingent on handling this elegantly.

2. These appear to be the classic "smart glasses" display style that's pervasive in consumer head-worn displays today, where content is projected at a fixed depth in front of the wearer. Because the captions aren't anchored at the same focal distance as the speaker, the wearer's eyes will swap between the captions and the speaker's faces, which is a tiring activity, and can make the wearer feel like they're not part of the conversation or being rude.

3. As mentioned by another commenter, this is a useful idea for people who lose their hearing later in life. That said, this is less (although certainly still) useful for people who have congenital hearing loss and primarily communicate via ASL.

All in all, it's exciting to see growing interest in this space, as it's easily extendable to people learning a new language or navigating a foreign country. I think offloading the speech-to-text to a tethered mobile device is a good choice (though it would be nice to do low-latency wireless transmission).
Also known as the list of people to consider bribing if you want even the tiniest piece of information on how GPT4 was trained, seeing as even the amount of parameters is "top secret" now.
