I feel like you're making my comment out to be a lot more hostile than it was intended.

I don't see any "problem" with deaf people. I see ASL as, effectively, a foreign language; and it makes sense to me that in general, you're able to live more effectively when you can speak the same language as the people around you.

When I traveled overseas to a spanish-speaking country, I learned spanish so that I could communicate with the people there. It would be unreasonable for me to show up as the cliche american tourist and expect the spanish-speaking people there to learn english so that I could communicate with them.
I frequently find myself in the middle of many things, one of them is that although I oppose the grotesque plunder of the public and citizens of countries by neo-aristocrats claiming to do one thing or another amidst blatant lies of social welfare, I also object to slavery and therefore cannot condone that everything should be free since people like being compensated for their work, and not by being indentured and forced to do things.

Things have to cost, even if they wouldn’t have to cost as much if we could stop the psychopaths at the top constantly plundering and raiding the resources of the productive people to maintain their parasitic and decadent lives.
Moreover, a fair number of Make America Great Again folks advocate for cutting support to Ukraine. Seemingly, sucking up to dictators and tyrans is the new way to greatness?!
Hiring is really hard. I try to be very selective, use work-like assessments and wait until it's painful to add headcount, but I also need to go fast enough to keep devs interested and not waste their time, and interviews at best are only a very rough proxy-indicator of what the future looks like. Firing is even harder.
It assumes this character by default. I asked several AI engines (via poe.com, which includes ChatGPT) to compute Galois groups of polynomials like x^5+x+1 and a couple of others, and in each case got not only a wrong answer, but a total non sequitur reasoning.
if AI gives near equal results for way less cost than people will work around the law to get AI treatment. There are already AI models better at diagnosing cancer than human doctors. I see a future where people send in various samples and an AI is able to correlate a huge number of minor data points to find diseases early
Back in the Korean war, US fighters shot down actual Soviet pilots in supposedly North Korean planes. Both sides kept it hush hush because nobody wanted a full war.
It's on a staging environment - but if it was a production machine it would not be an issue. I have until the end of the week to finish and need to work as fast and effectively as possible. Anything that assists in this goal is welcome.

As someone mentioned in another reply it's not banned in the OSCP. Automating enumeration is actually encouraged - after all enumeration is collecting information. It's up to you as the tester to interpret the results. On the other hand, tools like OpenVAS, Nessus etc. are not permitted as they go further then basic enumeration.
That is a good goal. Is AI the best tool for the job?
> Meta's hiring bar is pretty high, though.

I'm not making any comments or judgements whatsoever on employees there, but doesn't Meta use the same terrible hiring practices that values so-called "leet" code style interviews? Such interviewing practices are bound to produce poor results, especially at the scale that Meta, Amazon, etc. do them at. (This is also not a comment in support of the layoffs. I think layoffs are a failure of management and executives.)
This is a much bigger ad for Bing than it is for GPT-4.

I was quite impressed with the GPT-4 site, but having seen Bing Chats results of the last few weeks, when it was supposedly running on GPT-4, I’m now significantly less excited.

I know there’s a big difference between the models running for paid ChatGPT users, and the models running for Bing, but still.
Harmonic on android. Best by far from what I can find
You may also add that MNT product are built for the long-term. While the nice macbook today will be an old cranky thing in 3 years and a piece of junk in 8.
Inlining is the compiler's job, not mine.
If you have a method for hiring exactly the right people, that those people will put up with (ie a process that filters out "dead weight" but does not filter out high performers), then that is a startup right there. But overall, no one has magical hiring process that doesn't involve finding out actual performance after they start.
The article above clearly quoted MS stating that it would be absurd to only release Starfield as an exclusive...and then they did. That is exactly what I said.
Ok, so God is defined as "transcendent", but Time (in substitution of God) can't be transcendent, otherwise it could not possibly be subject to science...
Your last paragraph weakens the argument that you’re making.

Driving assistance and the progress made there and large language models and the progress made there are absolutely incomparable.

The general public’s hype in driving assistance is fueled mostly by the hype surrounding one car maker and its figurehead and it’s a hype that’s been fueled for a few years and become accepted in the public, reflected in the stock price of that car maker.

Large language models have not yet perpetrated the public’s memory yet, and, what’s actually the point is that inside of language you can find our human culture. And inside a large language model you have essentially the English language with its embeddings. It is real, it is big, it is powerful, it is respectable research.

There’s nothing in driving assistance that can be compared to LLMs. They don’t have an embedding of the entire physical surface of planet earth or understanding of driving physics. They’re nothing.
I hope (reatively immature) solutions like this will not be used as an excuse to remove accessible infrastructure from the world (e.g. captions at the cinema, live subtitles at the theatre, text displays on public transport).
Doesn't mean technological singularity won't be coming. GPT not being the direct cause of it is not a reason to dismiss it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy maybe?
There is no "thought process". It's not thinking, it's simply generating text. This is reflected in the obviously thoughtless response you received.
Does this distro have modern application sandboxing? For example, can I say which applications have access to my photos, email, location, microphone, etc...?
I don't share your concerns. If the difference between a good and a bad news article is whether a real person has written it, how can AI generated news prevail? If nobody can tell the difference, does it really matter who wrote the article?

Facts can be verified the same way they are right now. By reputation and reporting by trusted sources with eyes on the ground and verifiable evidence.

Regarding comments on news sites being spammed by AI: there are great ways to prove you are human already. You can do this using physical objects (think Yubikeys). I don't see any problems that would fundamentally break Captchas in the near future, although they will need to evolve like they always have.
even this one hints to this "people wanted more visibility and notice". You'll never make everyone happy, so it's a mistake to seek the "perfect communique"
Hell, I can learn that just by chit-chating with my redneck neighbor.
The Big Reset Playbook [pdf]
Yea, I'm about ready to start a neo-amish cult. Electronics and radios and 3D graphics are great fun, so I would want to set a cutoff date to ignore technology created after 2016 or so, really I draw the line at deterministic v. non-deterministic. If something behaves in a way that can't be predicted, I don't really want to have my civilization rely on it. Maybe an exception for cryptography and physics simulation, but computers that hallucinate I can do without.
The availability of LLM may make it so bad that we do something (e.g. paid support, verified access, etc.) about these problems that have already existed (public relations fluff-piece articles, astroturfing, etc.), but to a smaller degree.
Same! I've done this since the year 2020 and overall don't miss Google search or Chrome at all.
Plenty of terrible employees interview well. Many potentially great employees don't interview well.
Aren't they competitors?
> solving the wrong problem

You seem quite confident about this, but based on the doctors I know writing notes is a real pain and mostly seen as (important) scutwork. They're only given a set amount of time to see a patient (including notes), and if you can reduce notes they'd actually get more time talking and seeing the patient.
I agree with the statement that venvs are usable and fine. However, they do not come without their pitfalls in the greater picture of development and deployment of python software.

It very often not as simple as going to your target system, cloning the repo and running a single line command that gives you the running software. This is what e.g. Rust's cargo would do.

The problem with python venvs is that when problems occur, they require a lot of deep knowledge very fast and that deep knowledge will not be available to the typical beginner. Even I as a decade long python dev will occasionally encounter stuff that takes longer to resolve than needed.
"Descartes denied that animals had reason or intelligence. He argued that animals did not lack sensations or perceptions, but these could be explained mechanistically. Whereas humans had a soul, or mind, and were able to feel pain and anxiety, animals by virtue of not having a soul could not feel pain or anxiety. If animals showed signs of distress then this was to protect the body from damage, but the innate state needed for them to suffer was absent."
A better comparison with Kafka is redis streams. Similar semantics, a fraction of the operational overhead.
ok, yes, i know that joke. but not everyone is doing that, and sometimes those descriptions are just interesting.
As an example, let's say you're playing a video.

A playback device creates a stream of audio and video data that is consistent and together. But if there's a network involved, say you have stereo wifi speakers, then the video and audio streams are separated. Maybe the playback device sends the data to the display using hdmi, and that device sends data over the network to the speakers. Now there are two delays - one for decoding and presenting video, and a second separate one for transmitting and then decoding audio. The second one is variable depending on the network.
The dev time on this must be very fast, given that it probably makes sense to focus on one platform first.

Also review times with Apple are consistently 24-48 hours, but Google Play review times are (sadly) not from what I’ve heard from developers. If the whole timescale is 2-4 weeks, that may be a deal breaker.
At this point I won't be surprised if over the next few weeks and months hacker news is going to be full {insert org here} integrates GPT-4.
"quantity has a quality all of its own"
i've been rewatching the 2004 Battlestar Galactica, and the first time Caprica 6 drops the "it's racist" bomb kinda hits different in 2023.

disclaimer: this isn't meant to be taken too seriously, it's just funny.
It is straight from the FDIC statement:

But unlike most people it understands that even though an ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce of feathers a pound of gold weighs less than a pound of feathers.

(To be fair this is partly an obscure knowledge question, the kind of thing that maybe we should expect GPT to be good at.)
Can you explain how “pattern matching” differs from “reasoning”? In mechanical terms without appeals to divinity of humans (that’s both valid, and doesn’t clarify).

Keep in mind GPT 4 is multimodal and not just matching text.
Yes, but at that age it's important to be taught those things and be socialized through all aspects of life. You can kind of think of it like learning a language - you learn it faster when you're fulling enveloped in it.

It's easy for parents to miss things that a public school teacher with an education degree would not.

Also, children can be taught all of that by their parents and through day care, but still fail to do what they've been taught in a school setting. It's important for teachers to teach those things or reinforce those teachings.

I highly recommend asking teachers of young children about this, or looking into what education materials teachers are trained on. Many schools have professional development days, so what a teacher knows and works with changes/updates often.
Sources uncheckable? What sources! All the sources will just be AI generated, in the first place. Primary sources will be vanishingly small
> Mighty Russian 80s aircraft heroically damaged a US unmanned, pretty much disposable drone.

While its more disposable than a manned fighter (because not risking a pilot), its not really anywhere close to disposable. The MQ-9 costs roughly the same as an F-16.
Well even if one belives there is such a thing as a good litrpg, anyone who likes the genre is going to have read those already. So yeah any litrpg connoisseur is going to be looking for recommended bad ones.
If you want to look to more objective measures, since late 2021 there has been a ICD code assigned to long Covid (so it is diagnosed by a medical professional, not self report).

For example, https://www.dovepress.com/positive-predictive-value-of-the-i..., A Danish cohort of over 20k people that had a positive Covid test, 1.4% have subsequently been diagnosed with long Covid.

Now, you could continue to be really skeptical (are these really Covid related, or would these have happened absent Covid?). To say zero scientific evidence though seems to me to be sticking your head in the sand.
There is another view that inflation was transitory and driven by corporate profiteering vs wages.
Mod with speech bubbles would be high on my priorities list, and a bonus would be a comic book font.
Thinking Through the Silicon Valley Bank Mess
They still have the forum style "help me out", but there are some where the responses are really a huge miss where I could see this AI helping out more by giving better answers.
Or unless if you're looking for more emotion and entertainment, which is why I love Bing chat.
I dont think grammar theory is related to that.

Bigger factor seems to be strong standard library with safe string primitives

Aka NOT C.
Most things you write sound actually like an improvement over the current state?

I would very much prefer to talk to an AI like GPT4 compared to the people I need to speak to currently on most hotlines. First I need to wait 10-30 minutes in some queue to just be able to speak, and then they are just following some extremely simple script, and lack any real knowledge. I very much expect that GPT4 would be better and more helpful than most hotline conversations I had. Esp when you feed some domain knowledge on the specific application.

I also would like to avoid many of the unnecessary meetings. An AI is perfect for that. It can pass on my necessary knowledge to the others, and it can also compress all the relevant information for me, and give me a summary later. So real meetings would be reduced to only those where we would need to do some important decisions, or some planings, brainstorming sessions. The actual interesting meetings only.

I can also imagine that the quality of Wikipedia and other news articles would actually improve.
The litrpg readership accepts that they're all objectively "bad", they just ignore that fact and keep reading. Then wish the authors could pump out more than 1500 words per day so they could have even more.
Eventually AWS always gives customers what they want even if it's a "bad idea".
It is a internet-commenter-simulator, exactly what the world needs right now /s
The waybs were structured the upper tranches were more or less isolated from the defaults
You jest but I got the following response with the GPT-4 model

> Two pounds of feathers are heavier than a pound of bricks. The weight of the feathers is twice as much as the bricks, even though they may take up more space and seem lighter due to their lower density.
The author is a faculty at the University of Utah, whose other major PL person is Matthew Flatt — one of the primary implementers and original teammembers of the Racket project. It's not too surprising that he included a little well-humored spur at a colleague like that, I think.
I think you're misunderstanding the parent poster: You don't have to be intentionally hostile to perpetuate harmful and ignorant falsehoods. In fact the parent poster states they don't believe you're intentionally perpetuating ignorance. But, it's reasonable for someone to firmly rebut harmful ignorance in a manner, even if that level of firmness doesn't match your self-perception of your ignorance.
I'm currently homeschooling two teenagers and one of the most interesting aspects for me is learning all the material that I 'supposedly learned' way back when I was in high school.

I graduated, went to a great university, and yet virtually all of the stuff that we are learning in the current HS curriculum is new to me despite my having taken the same classes. I honestly don't know how I graduated high school, except to consider that I was very good at parroting back recently received information.

Most of what students are learning will be obsolete by the time they enter the job market, but on the plus side they will have forgotten it anyway. The most important thing from my perspective is ensuring that those topics don't use up too much of their time as I think most intelligent people are able to acquire the knowledge and skills they need as they come to need it.
There is a simple wetware solution, which is that she learns to say your name before saying something she wants you to know.
I had it explained to me like this:

You pick one of three options, giving you a 1/3 chance of being correct, 2/3 odds you picked incorrectly.
The host removes an option and give you the option to switch.

Your options then are -

Keep the same door: you win 1/3 of the time (your first guess was right)

Switch doors: you win 2/3 of the time (your first guess was wrong)

It really just comes down to, do I think I was right the first time, which was 1/3 odds, or wrong the first time, 2/3 odds.
Is Source 2 out?
I don't think it is. It's well known that AGI will be socialists. They will plan better than humans, so central planning will actually work, and they're accustomed to taking orders.
it only worked for them when they had a virtual monopoly in the search space, prior to that they treated users with absolute deference
I had just changed my DNS settings when I tried Reddit and it didn't work and then tried HN and it was really really slow. I was starting to think there was something wrong with my DNS change until I saw this post and comment.

What is OpenAI's privacy policy? How do you ensure the transcription doesn't get stored by OpenAI or used in training their future LLM versions?

I'd recommend looking at a fully self-hosted LLM alternative or ensuring the GPT-3 endpoint you're using is compliant (I've heard Azure has a GPT-3 API that is supposedly more "compliant").
Human teachers make mistakes too - perhaps even at higher rates than GPT in some cases.

Instead of isolating a single factor of hallucinations I think you have to also consider the cost and experience quality and make a more holistic judgement on whether these models are good or bad.
Thanks for the recommendation, this looks really cool!
I think you’re spot on: using multipart uploads, different sections of the ultimate object can be created out of order. Unfortunately, though, that’s subject to restrictions that require you to ensure all but the last part are sufficiently sized.

I’m a little disappointed that this library (which is supposed to be “read optimized”) doesn’t take advantage of S3 Range requests to optimize read after seek. The simple example is a zip file in S3 for which you want only the listing of files from the central directory record at the end. As far as I can tell this library reads the entire zip to get that. I have some experience with this[1][2].

These aren't behaviors that add any value to society:

> Depositors can continue to be callous in their financial behavior

Depositors should be able to select a normal bank and put their money in without having to do a huge deep dive on the books of the bank. In this case the problem was with having too many treasuries or something? Why do we want a small business with $400k in the bank to have to figure out the bank's treasury holdings before they are able to start their ice cream store?

Do we want them to have to open multiple bank accounts each time they hit $250k? How is that not just 'busy work' for a business owner (and thus raises the bar to entry for new businesses in the market)?
It's definetly not just you... Tho that may still be a plus considering the shortage of doctors in a lot of countries. But the privacy concerns still remain.
At least in US this company would responsible for violating the law. Not only the physician.

I honestly have no idea how these products are even developed. Does nobody think about any laws at all? This is something I really hate about the current state of "hustle" development.
I'm sure dogs confer dog-hood to us, to be fair. It's just that we are typically the ones in control of them. We breed them, control what they eat, what they learn, where they sleep, who they live with... Implicit in my stance on AI-hood is the idea that an AI will be to us as we are to dogs. We might even make that transition without realizing it. The limitation of our own understanding of the world and the nature of being is our problem to deal with, just as a dog's lack of thumbs or spoken language is their problem.

That is to say, an AI will grow and develop on the axes most salient to it, which will only map to our concepts of reality when we do a decent job understanding reality in the first place, which I'm not confident we do very often. We just don't have anyone else around who does a better job--yet.
And you can choose to get paid less then that means less medical care

not where i am from. everyone gets the same medical care, only those that earn so little that they can't pay the normal rate get extra support or a lower rate for the same service. that's a problem you should fix in your country so that people can actually live to their chosen moral code without having to suffer for it.

A moral code that is worth getting paid less but not worth prison is not only cheap but very much hypocritical when you hold others to it

how is that? not breaking laws is part of my moral code as it is part of the moral code of most people in this world. so if you were to accept prison for something you believe in you would be violating my moral code.

how is that hypocritical? we do the best we can to improve the world, with the means that we have, within the legal framework that we are in.

i come from a culture that values social responsibility, and working for a company that exploits people or pollutes the environment, is not socially responsible.
Seems like great training for hard sciences, where spotting nonsense or mistakes is a desirable skill.

May also be useful to “bullshit” disciplines? The SOKAL affair showed that some disciplines are perhaps just people doing “GPT” in their heads: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair Edit: this one is hilarious: https://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/conceptual-penis-social...
