You got my hopes up:/ I just looked and I don't see a single COD game showing proton/steamdeck support on steam. Maybe there's workarounds for some of the old ones, but I don't think any recent ones with working anti cheat have anything but Windows support.
Show HN: Using GPT-3 and Whisper to save doctors’ time
Hey HN,

We're Alex, Martin and Laurent. We previously founded Wit.ai (W14), which we sold to Facebook in 2015. Since 2019, we've been working on Nabla (https://nabla.com), an intelligent assistant for health practitioners.

When GPT-3 was released in 2020, we investigated it's usage in a medical context[0], to mixed results.

Since then we’ve kept exploring opportunities at the intersection of healthcare and AI, and noticed that doctors spend am awful lot of time on medical documentation (writing clinical notes, updating their EHR, etc.).

Today, we're releasing Nabla Copilot, a Chrome extension generating clinical notes from video consultations, to address this problem.

You can try it out, without installation nor sign up, on our demo page: https://nabla.com/copilot-demo/

Here’s how it works under the hood:

- When a doctor starts a video consultation, our Chrome extension auto-starts itself and listens to the active tab as well as the doctor’s microphone.

- We then transcribe the consultation using a fine-tuned version of Whisper. We've trained Whisper with tens of thousands of hours of medical consultation and medical terms recordings, and we have now reached an error rate which is 3× lower than Google's Speech-To-Text.

- Once we have the transcript, we feed it to a heavily trained GPT-3, which generates a clinical note.

- We finally return the clinical note to the doctor through our Chrome extension, the doctor can copy it to their EHR, and send a version to the patient.

This allows doctors to be fully focused on their consultation, and saves them a lot time.

Next, we want to make this work for in-person consultation.

We also want to extract structured data (in the FHIR standard) from the clinical note, and feed it to the doctor’s EHR so that it is automatically added to the patient's record.

Happy to further discuss technical details in comments!

The government should bailout FB. Think of the workers!
A valid opinion for sure, but not one that was apparent from your original comment.
That seems awful. The more force you have to use with your pointing finger the less accurate your position is. I can't imagine trying to aim and shoot with the same finger.
Except that’s still not really what happened. The depositors are being made whole with a mix of SVB’s capital and funds previously paid to the FDIC by the banks, and pooled for related purposes. Taxpayers aren’t footing the bill.

It’s not meaningfully a bailout. Certainly, it’s different from 2008 in an important way.

Again, we can talk about “bailing out” depositors, if you really want to use that word, but let’s not be misleading.
Given that today we expect war crimes not to occur, how will people know that they did or didn't occur in Antiquity if not told explicitly so?

The bigger problem is being so unspecific about the atrocities committed.
Maybe try it at a lower speed? I only tried this a few times because my daughter prefers the stuff over real milk. The first experiment ended up slimy, after that I used short bursts at the low speed setting and got something resembling the packaged product.
I wonder what Sony is thinking when they make these contracts with some of the game developers. Games like Genshin Impact and FF7 Remake are never going to be released on Xbox, even though they are on PC. And I have a feeling that the same thing will happen with FF16. And then there are other games that can be sold on Xbox but not on Game Pass. Sony is blocking Xbox's gaming possibilities while complaining that Microsoft is trying to take CoD away from PS. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Maybe Sony should start by getting rid of their own contracts that keep games away from Xbox.
I miss the leisure of just clicking a button to flag "hey look at this" and having a backlog queue of things by friends also thought was interesting. Nothing has really come around and recreated that simplicity and UX.
Why not? Can you unpack what you mean?

Are you saying that sufficiently good models should understand that such propaganda is not appropriate for the context?

Are you saying that understanding appropriateness is not the same thing as ethics?
It's the only thing that seems to work for certain autoimmune conditions. It's not a fad.

They already do this in some areas, in the US. There are places where you cannot legally collect rainwater that falls on your own property. The only reason they haven't started charging for air yet is because they haven't figured out the logistics to enable doing so /s
It's adorable seeing this kind of critique in the context of HN, I wonder how many folk knew my heavily upvoted comment above ("For 10 billion+ ...") was from someone who has only been looking at this stuff for a few weeks. ChatGPT is no better or worse than any consultant I've ever met (including myself), or most of the commenters you find here every single day.
There are very very few fresh ideas and even those require the vast majority of the project built on someone else's work. Taking something existing and doing it better is what business is all about.

> Teams certification has its share of marketing tactics, too. Certification requires that products advertise Teams and encourage its use by featuring an integrated light-up Teams button. As someone who uses various meeting platforms, I can confirm that this feature doesn't feel like a customer-first initiative.

That tactic is not a new one; the reason most computer keyboards still have a "Windows logo" key is because, many years ago, Microsoft mandated the presence of that key, with that trademarked logo, in its certification standards.
Precisely, it baffled me how people here went on with it seeing only the first order consequences. I'm a grad student in Chile and I get emails from recruiters in the US three or four times a week. I haven't picked up a job and don't plan to until I finish my degree (soon), and I haven't thoroughly evaluated the quality of each offer. Meanwhile recruiters in my country don't look as much, might as well be because American employers have much to gain from a remote worker compared to local employers. Several of my friends are from Argentina, and they all work for US companies either remotely or on-site, something I would have had a hard time believing just five years ago. This decade will be interesting.
May? Isn’t this the definition of good?
A quick google top result check shows: "all natural phenomena and plant and animal life, as distinct from man and his creations"
I dare say that's the way it was used and intended so semantics doesn't really bring anyone forward here.
I'm also not really sure what you're alluding to with the "us vs then" bit.
The point is that it's standard. Credit rating agencies have their own formulas and risk assessment profiles, and typically assess a debtor's ability to pay back a debt in aggregate with other debtors. When companies are shuffling around and selling debt on the backend, they ask a credit rating agency to assess the debt, since a FICO/Vantage score isn't a full picture on how likely a debtor is to pay back a loan. The only difference between the 3 credit reporting agencies are how good their contracts are with lenders in terms of aggregating the most accurate and up-to-date data.
Yes, but doing that is much more risky and time consuming. The burglar could find the basic pattern in a matter of hours rather than days of sitting on the house at the risk of being reported as suspicious. They would also be able to tell which entrances are surveilled and use that information for the burglary itself.

So you could make an argument that woth their terrible security track record, numerous leaks etc Ring is more of a help to potential burglars than it is useful as a security device.
Bit of an underwhelming answer to a headline question. You'd think there were some deeper insight. Is that really the most interesting tidbit the headline writer could tease from the article?
Sorry but HN is just too biased against anything blockchain-related.

Legal is one of the main cooks producing the pot.
I have exactly the same feeling. Schema vs schemaless is like static typed vs dynamic language. The extreme is java vs JavaScript. With JavaScript, you have all freedom to construct objects with whatever properties, then you pay with hard-to-detect runtime errors. That is why people are going for TypeScript nowadays. I have learned this hard way, as I had hated Java so much sometime ago. For that I used quite bit Groovy, but later I had to refactor some with Java just for static typing, to avoid running time problems in critical area.
If you explain to me why it is somehow biologically advantageous that we don't fart I'll consider that as a pro of some sort. Because, as I've been pointing out, cows are super specialized to consume plants and they fart, so farting isn't indicative of them eating something incorrect, but simply part of the biological process of them consuming plant matter. It doesn't mean they should switch to a meat diet.
Pretty much every production improvement in either farming or manufacture since the 19th century has been:

- scaling up is more efficient, because the production increase has a better "slope" than the increased capital investment

- increasing uniformity is more efficient, through the means of statistical process control, which requires more information and information processing
My experience was that these options didn't do anything if the download had already started, everything else I tried from restarting to killing processes was fought back with a newly spawned process update. Trying to SSH into a server to fix an emergency while on a spotty 3G hotspot was made far more stressful by my computer being out of my control.

Technology hasn't really been improving most people's lives lately. In particular, the most notable impact this technology could possibly have is to make people reduntant.

Funny how these articles seldom mentioned the war crimes of the sympathetic side. Like how these rebellions started by killing all Romans in the province, after raping the women and children first of course.
Does the llama code that dropped leverage the GPU at all? On an M1 it appears to just run on as many CPU cores as you want to throw at it. The 65B heats up 8 cores real nicely, and it's slow, but I imagine it would be a lot faster on the GPU.

> I recognize that sharing plans for restructuring and layoffs months in advance creates a challenging period. But last fall, we heard feedback that you wanted more transparency sooner into any restructuring plans, so that’s what I’m trying to provide here. I hope that giving you a timeline and principles for what to expect will help us get through the next couple of months and then move forward as we implement these changes that I believe will have a very positive impact on how we work.

Where are they going to go?

The market isn't good right now. Not many places that are hiring can give an offer that matches a FAANG
My own experience at the end of last year was my first job search in the remote era. In the past, I'd look for local jobs in my East Coast City and see a handful that felt like a good match. When I applied to those, I was one of a small number of candidates, and since I generally chose things that felt like a really good match, a job offer came far more often than not, and would rarely get no response.

Fast forward to this past cycle and high availability of remote work, and there were literally dozens of jobs per week that felt like near-perfect matches. For those that I applied to, I was one of 40-200+ applicants for the role. Of the 50 or so jobs I applied to directly w/out a prior recruiter contacting me, I had 10 intro chats, 3 interviews going to the final round, and one job offer. About half of the result resulted in rejections ranging from immediately to a few months later, and the rest simply had no reply.

There were some weird experiences. About a month after I started a new job, I heard back from 3 interesting roles on the same day, over 90 days after my initial application. In another, the interviewer was super communicative and responsive, and had me take a personality quiz after intro calls with them and the hiring manager. Apparently I failed, because I was totally ghosted after that.
Construction is actually one of the few sectors that hasn't become more productive per employee over past decades. Buildings have become vastly more complicated but there's comparably little automation.

The article explains it with game theory.

In game theory, there's a big difference between a so-called "iterated prisoner's dilemma" and a one-shot prisoner's dilemma. Call these IPD and OPD.

Basically under the conditions of the past couple of decades, you could model Silicon Valley as an IPD. Under an IPD it always makes most sense to remain loyal.

But because of macroeconomic and technological changes (what author calls 'The End of the Beginning'), Silicon Valley models more like an OPD these days.

But under an OPD the winning strategy is to be self-interested.

Anyone who has noticed the shift from IPD to OPD ahead of their peers is able to make big bucks -- if only at the cost of their reputations. (But again, we don't care about 'next time', this is a one-shot, so reputations are now next to worthless.)

Specifically, with regard to SVB, depositors could have HODLed (if you will) as investors did for e.g. the run-up in GameStop.

The article insinuates that in the past, under historic/IPD conditions in Silicon Valley, they probably would have.

However, under contemporary conditions, OPD makes most sense, and most VCs, being savvy, sort of intuited this, and everyone tried to be the first out the door.

There's a broader point as well, alluded to near the end of the article -- that even more broadly speaking, our whole civ is edging closer to being best modelled as an OPD, which in turn pushes more systems towards collapse, and in doing so, invites more regulations, which in turn tamp down on growth.

So this article, if correct, comes with a gloomy forecast, and suggests that 'die fatten Jahre sind forbei' (the years of plenty are over) -- and not just for the Valley.

Great article. Prescient and uncomfortable.
This is true of every tech billionaire. They improved something that already existed.

Rarely if ever do they true novel inventors dominate the market because when the market doesn’t exist they have to create it, and also they’re inventors not necessarily business men.
In that case it's not, that's a specialized diet, much like cutting out peanut butter for someone allergic to peanuts is a specialized diet. It doesn't mean it's generally biologically advantageous and that everyone should cut out peanut butter, it means it's what your body needs, and in that case it makes perfect sense.
The junior programmer we would hire doesn't know any of that as well, they have to get all of that from someone else on the team - so perhaps that job can be replaced by us giving all of that info to some cheap computer instead of a relatively expensive person, as even junior programmers cost quite a lot.
How do you plan to sell some digital artifact is you either a) don't have a right do this, or b) have a right but the medium (NFT and blockchain) doesn't support transfer of the IP rights in any form? You would need the central authority to track IP rights and ownership in the centralised DB and which point why use NFTs in the first place?
I think this is a great point. Why do people use excel? I think it’s because they take not old obsolete software, but actually one of the best ways for non-technical people to create simple applications. You can basically turn out a custom inventory tracking system in a few hours for a small business using this ubiquitous software that almost everyone has some skill in.

I think that same accessibility is going to be a major driver for these natural language models. I’ve seen great examples where people can basically “program “ in English by having a conversation back and forth with the LLM and refining its output of code.
You lose 1% GDP not 1% GDP growth rate per year.

Basically you get one bad year, and every year after that you don’t notice the difference. Much like how our military spending is a lot of money but you only notice when it changes. The economy might even be larger today if we had gone down that path because of increased efficiency and cleaner air.

Tell HN: Ignore the Noise and Keep Building Awesome Things
The noise here, Twitter and elsewhere is way too loud and much more self-fulling prophecies than anything else. Apart from the layoffs of course, which are 100% a result of companies and VCs that prioritized growth over profitability.

Let’s keep on building awesome things and just turn off Twitter and Co. for a while.

The funny thing is, that's a bad bet. Large tech company profits can last for years and decades. The archetypal example is IBM. They've had some years or record losses, but overall, look at their yearly profits:

We're talking about probably more than $250bn of profits over 20 years.
What a strange comment section.

A customer service chatbot telling your customers that an issue is solved, when the issue isn't solved, is a core product failure. It's also a Responsible AI issue.

A code generation model suggesting GPL code without attribution is a core product failure and serious legal risk [1]. It's also a Responsible AI issue.

A diffusion model generating child porn or nazi propaganda is a core product failure and a serious legal risk [2]. It's also a Responsible AI issue.

In other words, the problem isn't that Responsible AI is BS. The problem is that Responsible AI is a conglomeration of serious legal and product risks that companies NEED to solve in the context of specific products.

More importantly, how will those risks change over time? The western world public is overwhelmingly skeptical of AI and in favor of regulation. Even if new government regulation can be gummed up, you can expect juries to be less than sympathetic.

But you’re not going to solve those problems by hiring a bunch of philosophers and interdisciplinary types that obsess over “nutrition labels for models” and the like. Everyone knows that Tay being a nazi is bad. And I don’t need a PhD in Sociology or whatever to tell you that you probably shouldn’t be openly condescending toward your customers. But constraining and aligning the output of models is a really hard technical problem, and needs a different type of expertise.

So, I think we’ll see Responsible AI teams start to look a lot like e.g. safety at automotive companies, verification & validation at hardware companies, or security at tech companies. Mostly staffed with technical people who are strong engineers and happen to specialize in data governance/constrained generation/rotics safety/etc. There will be dedicated teams that kinda-help-kinda-police the rest of the company (think security). But there will also be a lot of diffused responsibility within each product group, with ICs or small groups within each group owning this space.
