FWIW, I'm part of the audience that doesn't mind Electron apps. The reality is that there just wouldn't be as many native cross-platform apps without it. Connecting to a DB running on localhost is something I'd absolutely want to be able to do here (it even addresses access to private network DBs since local tunnels can be setup), and a webapp wouldn't be able to deliver on that. I don't care if it's "full native" or not, so long as it delivers value.

To add on to that, it has not been my experience that fully native apps are guaranteed to be better quality. SequelPro/SequelAce are native, but they definitely feel clunkier than a lot of electron apps. Maybe it's more efficient in RAM and CPU, but when the bulk of the computation happens remotely, I don't really care.

As a potential user, I'd much rather you spend your time delivering support for connecting to DBs on localhost.
That's clever! So it looks like rather than use a vector store, in your approach you use GPT and the table of contents to find the right section? How do you find it performs in terms of accuracy and cost?

" Napster was ultimately brought down by copyright law. For aggressive bot providers accused of riding roughshod over intellectual property (ip), Mr Nash has a simple message that sounds, from a music-industry veteran of the Napster era, like a threat. “Don’t deploy in the market and beg for forgiveness."

I don't think that is how it went. Napster was brought down by streaming services.

Just like computer game piracy was ultimate brought down by Steam.

Do you think banks don't need to compete? Aren't exposed to risk? They're not hedge funds, but they're still participants in various investment markets, and compete for customers on rates.
I think both upstream comments are partly correct. It can be simultaneously true that:

* The vast majority of early stage startups aren't swimming in cash and the founders aren't millionaires or close to it (hence the need to raise early stage funding).

* Startup businesses are by far the #1 generator of new jobs in the U.S. economy.

...and

* SVB's rapid crash was probably avoidable in several ways even in the final days. Different actions by management, regulators and/or major SVB customers/stakeholders could potentially have made a meaningful difference toward channeling the sudden crash into a sale or recapitalization.

* The significant environmental challenges many banks are now facing are due to the Fed making interest rates excessively low for too long and then very rapidly raising the rates. Both of these were nearly unprecedented swings which caused substantial whiplash (which many economists warned about at the time). While SVB was impacted first and worst due to their uniquely correlated risk factors and ill-fated risk management strategy, the Fed bears some responsibility for creating huge headwinds for banks.

* The Fed bailing out SVB and other banks the way they did is a short-term fix likely to cause worse systemic problems later.
I wonder why not more people are seeing it from this angle. My tech company is in southern africa, and I struggle to find the talent to fit my customers / the market’s needs. We can’t compete with salaries in the US or western countries in general.

It does not solve all shortcomings, but it definitely shifts the collective cognitive load in the company.
> Project Zero’s advice for those impacted follows:

>> Until security updates are available, users who wish to protect themselves from the baseband remote code execution vulnerabilities in Samsung’s Exynos chipsets can turn off Wi-Fi calling and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) in their device settings. Turning off these settings will remove the exploitation risk of these vulnerabilities.

> Google Pixel devices received software updates in 2021 that automatically enabled VoLTE and removed the toggle.

That's some great advice.

Really glad to see we’ll now be able to import .ts files directly! Previously you had to import with a .js extension, or no extension at all.

Whether it's planned to work that way isn't so relevant as it is what is probably going to happen from time-to-time due to the fundamental nature of banks - at least, this is what Diamond and Dybvig believed when they published their model[1] back in 1983, concluding that deposit insurance is the better way to prevent bank runs than closing banks.

Presumably they were onto something, as they jointly received the Nobel prize for economics last year for this contribution.

This is a clean narrative and a reasonable starting assumption, but not necessarily accurate. House bookies are trying to maximize their earnings, not limit themselves to the rake.

For example, certain teams have fans that bet on the team as a show of support rather than betting wisely. The house will identify these positions so they can take advantage, rather than letting the other side of the bet make most of the cash on bad bets.
> Basically, money as we know it is going to go away, we won't be a society of limited resources anymore.

I doubt it. There will probably always be some scarcity. Even if we remove (or effectively remove) scarcity of physical resources or energy, there is still only a limited amount of time. You could base an entire economy on time and you'd still need some kind of a medium of exchange. Even in Star Trek TNG, every schmo on Earth doesn't have access to Federation supercomputing clusters or their own starship.
A better criticism of the recent AI hype is this article by Noam Chomsky, Ian Roberts and Jeffrey Watumull. [0] which critiques the explainability and reasoning of LLMs with its opaque regurgitation of pre-trained text that it has been trained on.

Here is an economic example of why this issue is so important to farmers. GPL is an important part of this issue. If JD is violating it's GPL license then it shouldn't enjoy the economic benefit of using that software.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/31761/enormous-costs-of-new-tr...

"A lot more farmers, in fact. Enough to drive up the price of something like an 800-hour 1979 John Deere 4640 to over $60,000 at a Minnesota auction last August, which is more than double the price a well-worn example would fetch, but still a bargain compared to a new $150,000 rig. (Tractors' lives are measured in hours of operation, not miles, with the average hard-working farm tractor logging around 500 hours per year.) Imagine buying a '79 Pontiac Trans Am with 20,000 miles on it, and you get the picture. The difference is, no farmer is paying that much for a low-hour tractor from the Carter Administration without planning on using it day in and day out until it breaks—then fixing it on their own, on the cheap."

I increasingly get an overwhelming sense that all extant environmental activism is "canvas shopping bag virtue signaling" in a very profound and important way, but I wasn't convinced by specific printed or spoken rhetoric, nor can I automatically provide an explanation. I have to look within myself to explain why.

But here is one of the possible foundations of my opinion:

- A graph of atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa observatory:

https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/carbon-dioxide-now-more-th...

- The simple, pure shape of that graph, which appears to still be accelerating, affects me profoundly. It makes me think of all of the slightly different graphs that people use to show some progress on climate change, from estimated emissions to temperature changes, and that their deepest meaning is just that they are ways to deny *this* chart.

Now that doesn't entirely express what makes me convinced. It is biased by what I think might convince you, which is what I was trying to let go of. But it is one of the pillars of my belief and it might stand on its own better than others.

It looks like to me that many companies want to use the new generative tools, and many others want it not to impact their stake in the copyright system. I’m pretty sure they will both come to a compromise which will leave most users without any benefits, either from reduced copyrights or from availability of generative tools. It’s what would make both powerful parties satisfied (if not happy), and will impact the status quo the least.

Say, for instance, that they instituted a mostly mandatory licensing scheme, so that an individual artist had no choice but to allow use of their art as input when creating generative tools. People using art in this way have to pay a rather high licensing fee, but it is not paid to the artist, but to some sort of central copyright office. Huge copyright holders can also pay an exorbitantly high fee (to the same recipient) to opt out of licensing. Win-win-win; Existing copyright holders keep their existing copyrights, only large-ish actors can create new generative tools, new political positions and institutions are created with lots of money flowing in. Of course, artists then get screwed by being co-opted by generative tools which they can never afford to create themselves, and the general public get robbed both of the opportunity of using and creating new generative tools, and of any less restrictive copyright law.

It's pretty easy to end up in:

1) I have a farm.

2) I will lose millions a year if I don't have X.

3) X broke.

4) Only JD has anything that would prevent #2 (without collapsing the whole farm).

Buying JD is... pretty reasonable in that scenario. It's one of the reasons captured markets are so bad, it lets companies get away with a lot of things they couldn't if the market were actually fair and competitive.

Yes I'm aware of it. I meant it more in absolute terms as a reference (60 is 2 times more than 30 no? ;) ) to make the point that the AMC 12 scores are way better than the AMC 10 scores.
Nevertheless the bigger point is that there seems to be some anomaly in the test scores. Maybe some data contamination or some bug in their automated test suite.
And on twitter quite a few folks also mentioned this, including a former OpenAI engineer[0] who worked on automated theorem proving. I'm pretty sure this will be looked into further in the coming weeks.

Yes, but how much did he move out in addition to the 50 mil? I bet he had the 50 mil in there because for some reason he was blocked from moving it. It's likely that he transferred all the money he could move before he advised others to do the same. He's worth billions. 50 mil is a small chunk for him.
Being used as a pawn does not put you in a place that is sustainable over the long-term or even really the medium term.
There are certainly parallels.

For one, the prompt involves the model simulating its own output, which clearly has a flavor of Universal Turing Machine to it.

Then the token smuggling technique leans on the ability of the model to statically simulate the execution of code. Therefore a perfect automated filter that relies on analyzing code in prompts would be impossible. (However the filter only needs to be better than the LLM in practice)

I wouldn't be surprised at all if you could make some sort of formalized argument proving that it would be impossible to prevent all jailbreaks.

> Forcing an existing organization to bend to your will is textbook entitlement.

This is a mischaracterization of what unions do. When have you witnessed a union do this? That must be a remarkably powerful union to be making decisions for the entire organization.

Unions simply negotiate things related to their members, on behalf of their members. There's no "forcing" involved.

If a company doesn't want to meet the union's expectations for the wages and benefits of their members, it can simply fire all the union members or wait for them to strike and hire their replacements. After all, it's just software, how hard could it be to replace the entire team? Surely no harder than a single person simply quitting and building a competitor to Blizzard.

I think the material point is that there will be far fewer of those people if everything goes well. You should need fewer people to do any arbitrary task when you are leveraging LLMs.

My own opinion is that people are going to have to become creators. And quickly. You can still create digital products, but you'll need to be a lot more quiet about what you're doing. And you'll need to have a facility for abstract thought to come up with ideas that no one else has yet.
Speculation on this exact term, but for a few years now within the ML world, there's this notion of "attacks on neural networks" [1], [2]. That is, forcing the model to output a "bad" output, or flooding input data to really screw with its weights/gear it towards what an adversary might want. Say, classify a cat as a mountain, or, in a self-driving context, force a Tesla to miscategorize a stop sign.

Applied to Chat-GPT, a charitable take on this self-aggrandizement would be that the speaker has requires deep knowledge on the model they're attacking, in the same way a reverse engineer generally knows how X system is built. But I'm just being nice.

I'm really not sure why they're so insistent on phasing them out. Have I written one recently? No. But I sure do appreciate that they exist for cases where you want fine grained control over what's happening.
Sure! It's generally about "stateful logic". Basically logic that relies on state and/or the lifecycle methods (componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, etc) as with classes those are only available as part of a component.

You can "sort of" reuse component logic with classes, the most common way is by using Higher order components (see https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/higher-order- components.html).

The example in that article is pretty good: Subscribing to some external data source. That requires on mount, state, and on unmount.

Using HOC's is not actually reusing logic though, it's creating more components and wrapping them to compose the logic. It's a workaround.

HOC's have a bunch of downsides, imo the most obvious one is the props; you need to pass the previous props, and merge in the new ones. That can create conflicts. Another typical one is refs. You need to be very meticulous about structure and how you compose and order your HOC's to make sure it all works.

In hooks you can define this stateful logic truly disconnected from a component, resolving a lot of the issues of HOC's as you can just call a bunch of functions without impacting the render tree. The "plumbing" is much simpler.

Hope that is sort of clear, but let me know if I should clarify any of this.

The late Fred Jelinek, founder and manager of IBM's speech recognition R&D team at TJ Watson Research Center @ Yorktown Heights created the famous joke "every time I fire a linguist, recognition accuracy goes up" - as someone with a stake in both ML and NLP I would say more credit goes to ML than to NLP for sure.

Will linguistic knowledge not be needed at all? I don't want to speculate about the far-out future, but what I can safely say from industry experience that at any stage (1996 - now) there was always some extra gain to be had on top of the ((statistical | neural) - only) approach of the day by engineering hybrid solutions that at some level also exploit human-injected linguistic knowledge and human-injected business rules.
