Here’s a back of the envelope: the global GDP is about 100 Trillion USD [1]. The annual volume of Fedwire transactions is about 1 Quadrillion USD [2]. The Fed does not disclose volumes by bank, but let’s make the assumption they are roughly proportional with the AUM of the bank. JPMorgan has a 25% market share when calculated by AUM [3]. So a rough approximation would be that the volume of Fedwire transactions where JPMorgan is one of the counterparties is more than twice the global GDP.

> Starting with January 2023 data, BLS updated weights annually for the Consumer Price Index based on a single calendar year of data, using consumer expenditure data from 2021. This reflects a change from prior practice of updating weights biennially using 2 years of expenditure data.
Hiring is not a perfectly solved problem, so you should cut whoever you're accusing some slack. Also, making the relationship work is a two-way responsibility, not just that of the management.
And that is cheaper? How much more expensive would a "correct" interest rate be compared to bailouts+economic fallout+loss of public trust you get from the current "risk-free" fantasy?
I see iphone being used by everyone. Trains, buses, even beggars have iPhones. Do you honestly think AI will have that level of penetration? As in not as piggy backed on another platform? That’s the only way to extract a lot of value.
Sure, but I think it's relevant context.

So the background on this is that the grace period is a discretionary matter decided by USCIS and not a part of the legislation itself. A couple of months ago when the layoffs got past a critical threshold, people started asking for an extension in the grace period. At the time, USCIS' response was that changing the rule itself will take more than 60 days, so it's moot. Which is a bit silly since layoffs continue to happen. This recommendation to extend it though is just a recommendation, and there is no official word from USCIS on whether they are considering any change.
There is no way to make an AI "unbiased" because perceived political bias is purely subjective. What Americans would consider middle-of-the-line I, as a North European, would consider to be solidly right wing.

In my view attempting to correct a libertarian-left "bias" is exactly the same than introducing an authoritarian-right "bias". What problem exactly are we solving here?
I subscribe to a couple RSS feeds for some remote job sites.

A very large % of jobs are for crypto (ok "fintech" but look closely it's crypto) in March 2023. I wonder how these companies are still going, or maybe the listings just haven't been taken down yet.
People who changed jobs and got the axe in many FAANG also are the losers. Don’t forget risk and reward.
It might, but I've used text-davinci-003 before this (https://platform.openai.com/playground) and it really just works with whatever you give it.
Native English speakers write less buggy code? That's a pretty good competitive advantage.
Will the nonpareil paraquet make original discoveries and inventions from protein folding and stem cells results, GPT-X interfacing with DeepMind?
If GPT could do the same research - reading a bunch of primary sources and condensing and summarizing the information - why wouldn't we want to have GPT do that rather than having a human do it?

We don't employ roomfuls of people to solve math equations by hand to calculate trajectories anymore, because the computer can do that faster.

If GPT can't do research and produce content with the same level of accuracy as you (which, so far, it can't) than surely people would be happy to continue compensating you to do so.
Given how many university-level tests GPT4 places better than 50th percentile at, I don't know if "catching up to 2 year olds" is a fair description. For that kind of text based task it seems well ahead of the general adult human population.
That's not necessarily true. As the percentage of nonsense goes down there is a critical region where people will start to trust it implicitly without further verification. This can - and likely will - lead to serious problems which will occur downstream from where these unverified errors have been injected into the set of 'facts' that underpin decisions. As long as the percentage of nonsense is high enough an effort will be made to ensure that what comes out of the system as a whole is accurate. But once the percentage drops below a certain threshold the verification step will be seen as useless and will likely be optimized away. If the decision is a critical one then it may have serious consequences.

You see something similar with self driving vehicles, and for much the same reasons.
Thank you for this. I'm currently involved in the design of a large-ish IoT backend having only worked on smaller volume systems using "traditional" brokers (MQTT, RabbitMQ). Your post helped me fit Kafka into my mental image.

What do you think about an incremental development where one starts with direct MQTT subscribers and adds Kafka only once the volume goes up?
Yes. It can emit toxic gasses at high temperatures though, so I'd recomment always trying to keep it under 200°C (390° F). (My pans are a ceramic non-stick so I don't have to worry, but they are more expensive).
Everyone likes the idea of being self-employed and financially independent. I think that being exposed to more and more well+paid tech workers, digital nomads, and influencers makes people wonder how to get their own ticket to such a life. Teachers report that every kid wants to be an influencer these days.

But like what we used to call wantrepeneurs, they love the result, not the process. So they try to replicate the success of other people without bringing in any special skills or unique insights.

Those courses are an obvious recipe for people who want a recipe to get rich. It fuels an industry of people selling get-rich-quick courses to each other.
Perhaps you can ask GPT to fix it ;)
"Panspermia just doesn't help."

It helps exploring other options, since we are still unable to create artificial life. No one is saying to stop those experiments. But maybe they cannot succed, in the same way the alchimists could not create gold in the middle ages - because some fundamental understanding or ingredient is missing. (today we can create gold, but it is not worth it with our current technology)

"Either it was easy and formed really quickly on Earth, or space is/was so full of it that earth got contaminated almost immediately"

Or it was just random chance, that a "contaminated" comet hit earth at the right time, or an alien vessel passed by and planted life seeds. We simply don't know. So we cannot rule those options out at this moment. And "almost immediately" is still in the timespan of millions of years, so plenty of time for many asteroids to hit the earth and possibly bring life.

You Don’t Need GPT-3's Size for Better Performance: Pattern Exploiting Training
People were appalled by the Twitter firings, but seriously, how many people does it take to run old, established, (micro)blogging platform?

I don't know the number, but the number before the firings was too high. From what I've gathered by watching from the sidelines they are probably now gone too far south from the correct number.

However the lesson to learn is not to not fire people. Yes. Of course it sucks when you lose your job, especially if it was for no fault of your own - just because some middle manager jack-off got too budget one year and decided to hire everyone with body temperature above room temperature. But we need to start culling the herd.

We have too many noobs who are just wreaking havoc across our code bases, making products and user experience worse. Hardware gets faster and faster every single year, but end users don't see any benefits. We see some benefit since we are on the top of the food chain enjoying our $5K max specced Macs, but even then we should see much faster and way more reliable software than we see today. It is so fucking sad when I try to load a website and it takes 30-60 seconds for all the javascript bloat just to get to me and I'm even running all kind of blockers so I won't be getting nearly as much bloat as a normal end user.

Tech used to be cool. Now it is just money all the way down. Just think how fucking cool the current AI wave would be without all the neutering that is going on since none of the big companies dare to take a risk and actually let people have even a bit of fun.
Great. Happy that we now established that you can be on h1b for more than 6 years.

Let’s move to your new point, why someone selects h1b over ead? Many reasons, one is that with ead your partner is not allowed to work.

We want it to answer truthfully and impartially I.e. not showing favoritism to leftist talking points and politicians, and artificially censoring talk of right wing ideas.

It's really not complicated.

You aren't even a bagholder I'm afraid. Bagholder is having a stock that has fallen 90%. You (I think) have nothing and anonymous.

Again, I thought crypto was an !insane! ponzi since when bitcoin was $300 (that's when I studied it a little).
Question: is GPT smart enough to (mentally) execute statements in a piece of code?
Great I can run it on my bonnet.
That only happens in audio feedback because audio amplification is an increasing function. ML models do complicated things with their inputs.
They're called safe deposit boxes...standard bank service for a fee

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_deposit_box
Show HN: Gamaddy – Play Online Games
There are safety deposit boxes but a recent article showed they are not safe at all. There are also safes you can buy and install somewhere. However the fact that you have inflation eating your money, and that the holder of the money incurs huge risks holding them for you (security, insurance, real estate, tech infrastructure) means that they would either eat any small deposit quickly or you have a huge stash and the costs are negligible. So my take is, unless you have huge amounts of money the demand would be low.
Once you learned how to read, you didn't need to study phonics every time you found a new book. It is the same with AI.

AI will be able to create its own new iterations of data which it can then train on. It will never run out of material and in fact will start generating new data at a rate far faster than the whole of humanity.

This has already been proven with AlphaGo.
Dude, you are Mike Chambers. You are one of the person who made one of the biggest impact in my life and career. Your email that fateful day inviting me to be a "Macromedia Champion" (or something like that in 2002-ish) and the eventual "Lego" invite changed my life and career. It was the time I was in between jobs and was helping out everyone everywhere with Flash problems.

Man, you are making me cry. You made me sit and talk with the authors whose books I read to get a job, you made me have dinner with the people who made the software that I worked with.

I regret never getting a picture with you, and sorry for sleeping out on the Halo Game night at "W" that night. First jet-lag experience in my life and learning to adjust.

Edit: I think I'm mixing up the timelines but the gist of story remains. I do not have the email archives prior to 2006, and I lost all emails from brajeshwar.com, and the photos metadata are scrambled after a crash-recovery around 2006-2007.
Given how low quality most reports are for bug bounties, putting social engineering in scope publically would be dreadful for any employees. basically just authorized mass spam. social engineering in a private pentest though, sure.
> taking into account that a mental hill person is more likely to have a violent behavior, and thus evaluating on a case-by-case basis if such a person needs to stay in a specialized health care facility (for their own good first, so they can receive the help they need) vs negating this fact and saying that mental illness doesn't impact on a person's behavior.

So what’s the difference? Having foreign born parents does “impact” a persons likelihood to be violent in a statistical sense. Having schizophrenia has a similar “impact” on a statistical level. You may find it easier to see a causal relationship in the latter case, but there are plenty of people who see that causal relationship in the former case too.

Of course it’s wrong to deny people care for a serious illness. That unfortunately happens regularly in Sweden too.

This is either GPT or a berry bad take.
You should listen to others and figure out who's wrong: you, or everyone else? Sometimes you have a rare perspective that makes you see something others are blind to. Other times you are delusional.

Listen to the noise, but understand that it's often missing key insights.
At one point we had a ~560tb EFS disk that ran a variety of mixed workloads (large and small files). It was untenable - raw reading/writing IO is OK, but metadata IO hits a brick wall and destroys the performance of the whole disk for all connections (not just ones accessing a particular partition/tree/whatever).

In order to migrate off it and onto s3 I had to build a custom tool in rust that used libnfs directly to list the contents of the disk. We then launched a large number of lambdas to copy individual files to s3.

It was fun, but in my experience EFS is only good if you have a very homogenous workload and are able to carefully optimise metadata IO. I wouldn’t recommend it - s3 is just cheaper, faster and better.
Their compensation was a feeling of contributing and being part of a community, probably with some degree of self-validation as they read and agreed with their own opinion after posting it. Later they might even get paid with some upvotes granting additional affirmation.

Just like us, really.

GPT-4 emergent behavior, release not endorsed by red team
Exactly. This is an early version of a technology that in short time span might wipe out the need of a vast amount of knowledge workers who are mostly still unaware of this or in denial about it.

There are two mistakes people make with this:

1) assuming this is the definite and final answer as to what AI can do. Anything you think you know about what the limitations are of this technology is probably already a bit out of date. OpenAI have been sitting on this one for some time. They are probably already working on v5 and v6. And those are not going to take that long to arrive. This is exponential, not linear progress.

2) assuming that their own qualities are impossible to be matched by an AI and that this won't affect whatever it is they do. I don't think there's a lot that is fundamentally out of scope here just a lot that needs to be refined further. Our jobs are increasingly going to be working with, delegating to, and deferring to AIs.
I honestly can't tell if this reply is satire.
Yeah, except...your Australian idea of putting massive power plants in the Outback and de-carbonizing the atmosphere by shipping fossil fuels into the atmosphere is incredibly inefficient. Just put in small scale nuclear power plants at all the limiting bandwidth areas of every nations' power grids. From there electricity would be essentially be free and you could power cars, trains, buses and everything else from electricity. You could have nuclear powered cargo container vessels. There wouldn't be any need for coal or oil. Why do half measures that would be worse for the environment, when you could just stop using goal and gas entirely? By the time all of the useful plutonium and uranium runs out for making power plants we'll have fusion power (within the next 100-200 years). You're not wrong, and the market may mandate doing this anyway, but if you were going to play benevolent dictator and find the most utilitarian way to maximize the world's happiness you would just make energy free.
Thanks this is the first thing that came to mind for me as well!
> What makes you think you're on the right track?

I'm not claiming I am. Read the first comment I made. I'm simply stating the quote "bits are bits" is misunderstood because the one who made it doesn't have domain knowledge. I'm discussing in general terms but people expect details and proof of concepts.

I'm not arguing anything, everyone is reading me as if I was. Then I'm supposed to explain how TCP will fail and so on. Never even mentioned TCP, I said transfer.

People are too literal. But it's fine I've given up trying to explain it, this discussion has turned into the special olympics of misunderstandings. And you're all winning, congratulations.

Email marketing has become essential to any business's outreach strategy in 2023. However, manually creating and sending personalised emails to a large audience can be time-consuming and daunting. That's where mailing automation comes in, making the process much more manageable and effective.

With the recent advancements in AI technology, using ChatGPT for mailing automation has become more powerful tool for businesses.

ChatGPT can be used for marketing mailing automation by training it to understand and generate human-like responses to text-based queries, allowing businesses to personalise and automate email campaigns.
will -> may
AI (I'm mostly talking about ChatGPT here) is told to only report things that are factual or as close to it like what the current scientific consensus is and is fed currently what is believed to be the most accurate scientific models. Many political positions are contingent on the belief that these scientific models are incorrect.

Telling AI not to say falsehoods is implicitly injecting bias in its responses.
I'm not sure what the solution is, but I do feel IP protection is important.

If we were to get rid of it entirely then your success in the market largely depends on what resources you already have. Large companies have the upper hand as they already have the user base, along with the marketing budget to sink you (not that the current situation differs all that much).

If your argument is "thats the way it should be, let the market decide who succeeds" then that's a whole different conversation.

Either way I don't see an obvious solution that doesn't benefit the very companies you say we need to stop, though I agree on the sentiment.
Whatever man, you're gonna use it without knowing regardless. But feel free not to educate yourself now and miss all the opportunity.
I cannot recall the last time I've seen such a bipartisan push for something so monumental. Just within the past week, Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Mark Warner (D-VA) have been saying virtually the same thing: TikTok is an unprecedented national security threat.
That's because you didn't google it and then ask specific questions after doing some research.
It's in quotes because you can literally use that exact phrase and get results.

As far as "it mimics" angle... let me put it this way: I believe that the whole Chinese room argument is unscientific nonsense. I can literally see GPT take inputs, make conclusions based on them, and ask me questions to test its hypotheses, right before my eyes in real time. And it does lead it to produce better results than it otherwise would. I don't know what constitutes "the real thing" in your book, but this qualifies in mine.

And yeah, it's not that good at logical reasoning, mind you. But its model of the world is built solely from text (much of which doesn't even describe the real world!), and then it all has to fit into a measly 175B parameters. And on top of that, its entire short-term memory consists of its 4K token window. What's amazing is that it is still, somehow, better than some people. What's important is that it's good enough for many tasks that do require the capacity to reason.
I’ve noticed that many applicants for positions at my company from Indeed.com are entirely unqualified. Often truck drivers, etc. for a software engineering role and the resume will have no engineering related experience.

I’ve been told that many of these applicants are people applying to jobs they have no hopes of getting interviewed for. In many states you must prove you are actively looking for a job to collect unemployment benefits.
There's also a very high correlation between PD and insecticide use. Cows eating grass treated with insecticide (sometimes because a farmer on the plot upwind of their meadow uses it) produce milk that contains high concentrations of insecticides. People drinking lots of dairy ingest those insecticides and develop PD.

It is crazy to me, that this investment will be all in Seoul.

It is not very hard to make the case that Seoul is overly concentrated for both politics and the economy at the expense of other areas of South Korea. And as far as security balwark goes, Seoul is only 40km from the DMZ.
