It is true and it is terrible. Woe to be a programmer. The Church-Turing Theorem implies it is almost impossible for any languages exhibiting recursion to not be (Church-)Turing Complete. It is easy to forget how deeply, darkly, and deceptively simple the Lambda Calculus is. It is easy to forget that anywhere you may splice in something that even gently resembles the Lambda Calculus you may draw out the frightening runes of the many eldritch combinators many of which are indeed subject to accidental infinite recursion and The Halting Problem. (Including the infamous Y combinator.)

I have seen the Typescript "computing this type lead to what appeared to be infinite recursion and I gave up" errors. The compiler is well built, it mostly does not truly crash in an exceptional case like that, but it does have to use hard, practical heuristics to avoid getting stuck in infinite loops (including harsh stack depths and calculation timeouts for type checking).
Huh? Prop 22 actually grants some of those things, while letting drivers continue to choose their own schedules*

*Technically being an employee wouldn't force Uber to give them schedules, BUT Uber would be forced to pay minimum wage for time drivers spend idle. Unless they wanted to throw money away, they'd be forced to start capping the # of active drivers, otherwise someone could drop off a stack of cell phones on Zyzzyx Road and make a $1k/day without having to actually pick up customers.
It can already talk to other agents. It also can already use “language” better than almost all humans (multiple languages, more vocab, etc)

I guess what you’re talking about is it just going and doing something by itself with no prompt? Not sure why that should be a goal, and I also don’t see why it couldn’t do that right now? “Develop a language with this other ChatBot”
Yes. And reddit is down. And GitHub is being slow.

Russia crashed a manned airplane into a drone, and the US is the one is supposed to be humiliated?
A Turing test doesn't require that the AI know the answers to the experts, only that it responds in a way that is equivalent of a person. It would be perfectly acceptable to answer I don't have a clue. You're asking for super intelligence.
The most impressive thing i've had Bing do is let the details go. Say you want a novel/comic/very long form content written and you can't write at all. But you have requirements. If you go to chatGPT and say, Here's exactly what i want including the plot direction and which characters meet who etc, write a novel...it's not going to end well.

It'll write something with no display of proper pacing at all. 100% chance most of the details you've specified happen in the first generation even with deliberate instructions otherwise. Not so with Bing. If you want the comic to have x character meeting y character and you specify some natural pacing, you may not have y character introduced for pages.

ChatGPT predicts the next letter. It doesn't tell the time.
By the looks of how good Bing is with conversation. OpenAI has already said the GPT-4 "with great impact on functions like support, sales, content moderation, and programming." This sounds to me that 20% of the human workforce instantly got

"Doctors and Lawyers are glorified databases/search engines at the end of the day" - well, don't be suprised if AI replaces programmers before doctors and lawyers - patients will likely prefer contact with human rather than machines, and lawyers can just lobby for laws which protect their position
I had the same issue. It’s working now: they recently added GPT-4 to the model drop down in ChatGPT Plus. Current limit is 100 queries per 4 hours.

It will still respond as if it is based on GPT-3 because most of its knowledge cuts off at Sep 2021, but it’s outputs are noticeably better than those of GPT-3.5
No API breakage?
You don't need AI for that anyway.

They recommend using an Ubuntu PPA with Debian? That's... definitely a bold strategy. Let's hope it works out for them.

I mean, given that they themselves suggest doing so, I take it that's the PPA has been properly tested on Debian, and that they'll answer support requests and help resolving any issues if they crop up? There aren't any Debian releases listed in the "Display sources.list entries for:" dropdown.

Hmmm....following a couple of documentation links, I get to:

Nord Stream Mystery Looms in Multibillion-Dollar Arbitration Case Against Russia
Oh absolutely, it's all about realpolitik. We've already seen how far the west will go to avoid a war with Russia, so I wasn't expecting this to bring about a declaration of war.

But if this were a manned aircraft, that would be a major thing. The question is, what's the important element here.

It isn't necessarily the killing, if a plane were shot down, and the pilot ejected without harm it would still be a major thing, so there must be some element of, attacking a foreign nations military hardware is a no-no. But then the rhetoric doesn't seem to match that.
What makes humans generally intelligent, in practical terms, is that we can build complex societies with scientific, technological and economic growth.
This is the sort of thing I expected Google Glass to be able to do. But Google apparently lacks sufficient imagination, so they just unceremoniously canned it. Really hope this takes off.
Exactly. And it's a work that bank has to put in if it can't sell the loan. But if the bank can sell the loan it becomes "check the borrower or bullshit the buyer" and the banks decided latter is less work. And that's why 2008 happened.

I actually switched from Brave to Edge over the last few weeks and now use Edge exclusively. I don't notice a difference except that now I have to install ublock origin.

I actually use Bing now and not Google. It's crazy! A year ago if you told me this I would have laughed. Google for sure needs to respond or they will go the way of Altavista.
Firstly, the unreliability may not be permanent, and we may improve the AI accuracy in the future.
Secondly, we need to figure out what works and what not, and we're in the middle of such phase.
Finally, there is no need to be alarmed, even with hallucinations, the amount of advanced (and reliable) knowledge provided by the AI vastly counterbalances the small mistakes. The elitist mindset needs to die, let's give access to advanced knowledge to everybody and stop putting it behind some unreachable walls.
This seems focused on making meta a more efficient organization that can execute faster and react more quickly. So that's good for the company if it's done well. But even so, I see further problems for meta.

It's just not clear how the metaverse becomes something at the scale meta needs it to be to justify the R&D or to make an impact on its business.

To me it looks like a technology really takes off when it gives people a lighter-weight way to communicate and connect. The telephone takes off compared to writing letters because it is a much easier, more immediate way to tell people about things. Messaging takes off relative to calling people on the telephone because it's an easier, more immediate way to tell people about things. Social media, including Facebook take off relative to hanging out because it an easier more immediate way to tell people about things.

The new thing doesn't necessarily need to replace the old thing, it just needs to open up a new, easier, more immediate way for people to tell people about things.

The best I see is if meta can make itself the gatekeeper of the de facto standard platform for VR games/entertainment. That's potentially a pretty big business -- because maybe VR can take over AAA content and shows. But is it really big enough to sustain meta? (It seems far from certain they would end up in such an advantageous position, but Oculus is a good start.)

I'm impressed at how not-awful the glasses look.

I do wish there had been a real-life shot showing how the text appears to the wearer, though.
1) progress doesn't happen linearly, it's very coarse stepwise function (remember alphago?) 2) acceptance of an AGI actually being created is also a non-linear function - look at current definitely-not-AGI LLMs: some people think it's close, some people say that absolutely not, these are big matrices of numbers regurgitating words in plausible combinations and that's all - and these people won't change their minds easily one way or the other, thus declaring delivering of AGI will be very controversial even if we could agree on the definition.
I've been messing with fastly for the first time ever. Reddit uses fastly. My bad, guys.
I have to check Bing's sources when I use it anyway, because what it says is often simply wrong.

I asked it what my local cafeteria had on its lunch menu today.
It answered with full confidence.

It turns out, it was completely wrong though. It had mixed the lunch options and completely hallucinated another one.

Stuff like this just makes me really wary using it. I have to fact check everything every time and for more complicated things I cant be sure if *I* am correct.

If this is the full blown gpt4 then that's disappointing. Unless what I'm looking for is so recent that chatgpt(3.5) doesn't know it, chatgpt has always been more useful than Bing.

While I can agree that something about the business seems sketchy as hell, I don't see how it would be money laundering.

The rabbinic explanation goes, if god didn't want his people to show cleverness in exploiting the loopholes, he wouldn't have put them there.
You asked a trick question. The vast majority of people would make the same mistake. So your example arguably demonstrates that ChatGPT is close to an AGI, since it made the same mistake I did.

There are a couple approaches I like:

"Which of the three boxes do you choose?"

"Box A."

"Is the prize probably in Box A?"

"No, it's probably in one of the two other boxes."

"So it's probably not in Box A."

"Correct."

"Look: Box C doesn't contain the prize. Do you want to stay with Box A which probably doesn't have the prize, or switch to one of Box B or C, which probably does have the prize?"

"Well, since Box A probably doesn't have the prize, I should switch to Box B or C. But I know Box C doesn't contain the prize, so I'll switch to Box B, which probably does."

Another approach is to make a lot of boxes.

"Here are 100 boxes. Choose one that has the prize."

"I choose box 17, which probably doesn't have the prize."

"Now I'm going to open 98 more boxes and show you that none of them contain the prize. As you see, only box 68 remains closed (as well as your box 17). Do you wish to switch to box 68?"

"Hell yes!"

When S3 was released the Internet was very different. Two of the things that stood out were:

1. It offered a resilient key/object store over HTTP.

2. By the standards of the day for bandwidth and storage it was (and to a certain extent still is) very inexpensive.

Since then much of AWS has been built on the foundation of S3 and so its importance has changed from merely being a tool to basically a pervasive dependency of the AWS stack. Also, it very much is designed for objects larger than 1KB and for applications that need durable storage of many, many large objects.

The key benefit, at least according to AWS marketing, is that you don't have to host it yourself.
Neural networks are universal approximators. If cognition can be represented as a mathematical function then it can be approximated by a neural network.

If cognition magically exists outside of math and science, then sure, all bets are off.

1. Leaded Petrol was known to be harmful for a long time. In fact, some TEL Additives were very pointedly marketed as 'Ethyl' and did their best to leave the 'Lead' part out.

2. Ethanol was known to have Anti-knock properties at the time. The only advantage of TEL was that it helped the life of the valvetrain... oh and it was patentable.
The problem is S3 is just a lexicographically ordered key value store with (what I suspect is) key-range partitions[1] for the key part and Reed-Solomon encoded blobs for the value part. In other words, it’s a glorified NoSQL database with no semantics that you’d typically expect of a file system, and therefore repeated writes are slow because any modification to an object involves writing a new version of the key along with its new object.

You’re correct, but Sony has convinced studios to sign Xbox exclusion clauses for some of their game, like FF7 Remake and Bloodborne.

With their sizeable investments in Square and From Software, Microsoft is upping the ante of the game they are both playing. Sony is simply looking at potentially losing their biggest third-party moneymaker and they’re complaining. Microsoft have them dead to rights. It’s gonna get uglier.

I fully expect either Square or From to be straight up bought by Sony in retaliation.

I'm trying out GPT-4 and had it write me a script to navigate the HN comments tree sequentially, as I often wished. This is the start of an era where UIs can be remixed on the fly by end users, something I've always wished for. Here it is in its full sloppiness, but working:

(function () {
let currentIndex = 0;
let comments = [];

function buildCommentTree() {
let commentElems = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.comment-tree .comtr'));
let commentTree = [];
let stack = [];

commentElems.forEach(elem => {
let level = parseInt(elem.querySelector('.ind img').getAttribute('width')) / 40;
let comment = elem.querySelector('.comment span');
let commentObj = { level, comment };

if (!stack.length) {
commentTree.push(commentObj);
} else {
while (stack[stack.length - 1].level >= level) {
stack.pop();
}
if (!stack[stack.length - 1].children) {
stack[stack.length - 1].children = [];
}
stack[stack.length - 1].children.push(commentObj);
}

stack.push(commentObj);
});

return commentTree;
}

function flattenCommentTree(tree, arr, parentComment = null) {
tree.forEach(node => {
arr.push({ comment: node.comment, parentComment });
if (node.children) {
flattenCommentTree(node.children, arr, node.comment);
}
});
}

function displayComment(comment, parentComment) {
let parentCommentHTML = parentComment ? `<div style="position: fixed; top: 20%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, 0); background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 20px;"><strong>Parent Comment:</strong><br>${parentComment.innerHTML}</div>` : '';
let currentCommentHTML = `<div style="position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, 0); background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 20px;"><strong>Current Comment:</strong><br>${comment.innerHTML}</div>`;
document.body.innerHTML = parentCommentHTML + currentCommentHTML;
}

function nextComment() {
if (currentIndex < comments.length - 1) {
currentIndex++;
displayComment(comments[currentIndex].comment, comments[currentIndex].parentComment);
} else {
alert('No more comments to show.');
}
}

function prevComment() {
if (currentIndex > 0) {
currentIndex--;
displayComment(comments[currentIndex].comment, comments[currentIndex].parentComment);
} else {
alert('No previous comments to show.');
}
}

let commentTree = buildCommentTree();
flattenCommentTree(commentTree, comments);
displayComment(comments[currentIndex]);

document.addEventListener('keydown', e => {
if (e.code === 'ArrowRight') {
nextComment();
} else if (e.code === 'ArrowLeft') {
prevComment();
}
});

console.log('Hacker News comment slideshow is running. Use the right arrow key to go to the next comment and the left arrow key to go back.');
})();

Oh you should definitely look it up then because this is completely incorrect. Sign languages are fully distinct languages with their own histories and influences.

For example the sign languages spoken in the US and in the UK have different ancestries and are not mutually comprehensible, despite both countries using english as spoken languages.

It’ll do great in middle management.
I am glad for the OpenAI team for such advancement and how fast they integrated with several other partners (Microsoft, Duolingo); but at the same time I think the “regular” academia (ie universities and research institutes) lost the train for this kind of research (some can call academic engineering).

I know that the academia is doing a great job in AI with base research (eg Stable Diffusion) but seeing those new platforms doing this great work behind close doors and source is something not great.

I do not know if the answer would be some kind of CERN or ISS for this kind of thing.

I wouldn’t give a number because the pricing models are fairly different and the real cost will depend on how you’re using it and how easy it is to shift your access patterns. On my apps using EFA, that 10x is more like .8-1.1x — an easy call versus rewriting a bunch of code.

Economies of scale. It looks like they are targeting ~150 of them to ship ($135,000/$900 = 135). If I assume their non-recurring engineering costs is %50 of the price, that means the budget for designing/tooling/etc. is $67,500, which is actually much, much lower than I actually expected.

A Macbook on the other hand is targeting millions of devices. If we assume, let's say, a Macbooks budget for the same thing was $500M, selling only 10M puts the individual NRE cost to be $50.
Facebook released them with essentially zero effort to stop anyone from resharing them. I think they let anyone with a .edu email get them. It wasn't hacked or anything.
I'll be finishing my interventional radiology fellowship this year. I remember in 2016 when Geoffrey Hinton said, "We should stop training radiologists now," the radiology community was aghast and in-denial. My undergrad and masters were in computer science, and I felt, "yes, that's about right."

If you were starting a diagnostic radiology residency, including intern year and fellowship, you'd just be finishing now. How can you really think that "computers can't read diagnostic images" if models such as this can describe a VGA connector outfitted with a lighting cable?
