I’m trying to understand the point you’re trying to make here. This seems like a non-sequitur, but I could be misreading/fundamentally missing something.

Yes, people generally understand that medical treatments are typically not unnecessarily barbaric these days (this is not always the case, even if we at least know that when painful treatments are required, they are actually useful).

What does this say about the long-standing stigmas around mental health, both about the people who experience trouble and about the process of getting treatment?

It seems like a vague analogy about progress over time, but to what end?

How does knowing that I won’t feel a saw cutting through my leg change my understanding of mental health, either as a potential patient or as a curious person?
What value is a bunch of a users DNS traffic? All you’d have is what domains they visited… not what products they view or anything like that. I imagine most of that data is “target.com” or “Reddit.com” and such. It can’t be all that valuable for ad targeting…
If you run it with 4-bit quantization completely on the CPU (similar to llama.cpp), ChatGPT should run in about 90 GB of RAM. Which is easy to get your hands on for a desktop, but it's out of reach for notebooks.

Also expect performance of couple seconds per token in that setup, for now you need something involving GPUs

The conditions for AI profitability he suggests as a “new idiom” for AI have fairly exact parallels in the world of software, but where the secret sauce has expanded to include inputs and outputs, not just the software itself:

> The AI companies that make profits will be ones that either have a competitive moat not based on the capabilities of their model,

This is the “open source” case, where profitable firm provide ancillary services and support, rather than directly selling the capabilities of the software, because the software is not at all exclusive.

> OR those which don’t expose the underlying inputs and outputs of their model to customers

This is the “internal software” case, where the profitable firm does not provide access to the software at all, but uses it internally in a way which is opaque from the outside to support other products or services it provides, maintaining exclusivity because no one outside actually gets access to the software itself. (Arguably, non-source-available closed source software might fit in here, though its often possible to reverse engineer software that you have access to without the source, from the executable, so I'd argue that even without source available its more the next category.)

> OR can successfully sue any competitor that engages in shoggoth mask cloning.

This is the “proprietary software” case, where the profitable firm protects its exclusivity through legal constraints on people who have access to the software, while giving customers access to it.

Given that the big firms in AI largely either are or are closely associated with big firms in software that have successfully used all three models for different parts of their portfolios, I don’t think that them figuring out AI profitability is particularly challenged by this “new idiom”.
If you're not a programmer and are just stumbling around trying to code, ideas like DRY and abstractions and modularity are super useful. I work with scientists/PhD students helping with their code from time to time, and it's easy to forget how much basics we take for granted.

If you're a career programmer or want to be one, then yes, it's better to try things out and figure out from experience why these principles exist. Then, you can break the rules, because you understand their purpose and limitations now.

P2P Network Challenges
A P2P network has to solve a set of challenges in order to be functional. The exact challenges depends on what service the P2P network is trying to provide. However, there are some basic challenges all P2P networks need to address. These challenges are:

Connectivity
Addressability
Findability and / or Routability
Each of these challenges are explained in more detail below. Once each of these challenge have been addressed you can start building a service on top of the P2P network. Depending on the service, other challenges may then emerge, such as:

Broadcast and multicast
Caching
Lookup (DHT)
Load balancing
Authentication and authorization
Privacy
etc.
My project Polymorph will eventually have to address several of these challenges too.

It's possible to intentionally alter data that a hash has been computed from in such a way that it still computes to the same hash. Hashing alone is a weak way of ensuring that data has not been altered.
I use ChatGPT to quickly learn a new subject, and it hallucinates about half the sources it cites. It will often make up a paper title that is a mashup of two or more papers. It usually gets the researchers in a field correct, so it does provide enough for one to start doing their own research and it does usually point one to the good survey papers on a topic.

At least the https://www.usanpn.org/usa-national-phenology-network exists!
Just starting to bootstrap a startup and I would not hire from the Bay Area for all but save the founding engineers where its critical we get someone in who has depth of experience and can quickly become a tech lead at staff level. The salaries are just to high.

Instead I will pull from the brilliant pool of engineers from South America and Europe and areas like the mid-west etc. We will do a lot of work in OSS, so running an asynchronous / non-linear workday full time remote team works just great.

I would really not like being limited to hiring in small geographical area.
At some point you could argue that Moody’s is the reason for the deteriorating operating environment given that their downgrade of SVB is what caused the need for the asset sale which caused the run (following media/VC fund reports).
This is really not a matter of sample size.

If you want a real assessment of the problem, you will need to think about sampling, be careful about what you test, have a good amount of respect for the factors you don't know.

Nobody on this thread has done any of this, but one is a huge company messing with the lives of many people and claiming they know exactly what they are doing.
I think they are not blaming individual junior devs, they are saying across their hires, they noticed a trend.

You said your team hired multiple junior devs, I am gonna assume its less than 10 hope that is fair assumption. Meta has hired almost 40,000 people since 2019. Even a conservative estimate of how many were engineers, and distribution of junior and senior roles. I think it is fair to say they probably had enough people to draw meaningful conclusions.

Perhaps individual teams, with careful hiring practices and team fit interviews can make sure juniors thrive even in a remote position. But on average, larger companies cannot be only staffed by super teams, and sometimes that means some people suffer to make sure the median employee has the best chance to succeed.

Its not too far from having junior limited to some staging environments instead of production. Some juniors might be ready for the big leagues, but giving the keys of prod to any junior will probably cause some headaches on companies with 80,000 employees like Meta.

ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 v1.1 is excellent. It's got multipurpose GPIO pins that can be used for input, output, ADC, touchscreen, etc., and it's got wi-fi and BLE. Easily programmed with the Arduino IDE. It's an MCU, not a single board computer. If you really need a Linux environment then Orange Pi has a lot of SBC models available. For those I use Armbian, which is optimized for SBC use.
why can't they be committed though? because they themselves refuse to, or because without a forced commitment they can't afford to, or even if they can pay, they can't get a space?

Talent is obviously subjective.

If you define talent as the criteria by which FAANG selects from a pool of employees - then you're by definition correct.

If you don't - then you disagree.

If FAANG is paying top dollar and selecting for trash - you have to wonder why, though.

summary:

1. GPT4 is multimodal (text + image inputs => text outputs). This is being released piecemeal - with text input first via ChatGPT Plus subscribers https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/generations/creat..., and via API https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/introduction with waitlist (https://openai.com/waitlist/gpt-4-api). Image capability released via https://www.bemyeyes.com/.

2. GPT4 exhibits human level performance on various benchmarks (For example, it passes a simulated bar exam with a score around the top 10% of test takers; in contrast, GPT-3.5’s score was around the bottom 10%. see visual https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1635689844189036544)

3. GPT4 training used the same Azure supercomputer as GPT 3.5, but was a lot more stable: "becoming our first large model whose training performance we were able to accurately predict ahead of time."

4. Also open-sourcing OpenAI Evals https://github.com/openai/evals, a framework for automated evaluation of AI model performance, to allow anyone to report shortcomings in OpenAI models to help guide further improvements.

Yep, and I don't mean to imply that this is necessarily bad, just pointing out how shifting the place where that headline and summary are consumed from radio and TV where the news source makes money to a third party social media site where they don't is a problem.

Good journalism follows an inverted pyramid writing structure, where the most important information is at the top (the headline) and the information becomes less critical the further down the article you move. This has conditioned people to think they can rely on the headline and the first few sentences to get a rough but accurate idea of what's going on. Getting them to actually go to the news website after they've gotten the most important bits from Facebook or Twitter is an incredibly tall order.

I may be missing something, as I don't really follow this "community" besides reading the occasional Slate Star Codex post or whatever.

But I don't see much ground for comparison here. SBF (who I assume you're referring to) was in much different position with regards to potential harm as a result of con man antics than EY is. (As far as I can tell).

SBF was managing billions of dollars. EY is not. If SBF turns out to be a scammer, real people lose money. If EY is a scammer... then so what? He publishes a bunch of blog posts crying doom about AI that suddenly look less sincere? To what end? I can't see a good reason at this time for assuming his reasons are anything less than what he claims they are.

There's a lot of speculation that Signature was solvent and this is a conspiracy against crypto.

Let's look at their balance sheet: https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/SBNY?tab=financials

$110B assets against $102B liabilities. That's 7.8% more capitalization, one of the lowest I've seen across all banks.

Want to guess how much of those were hold to maturity (HTM) and thus actually market value of 5% - 20% less?

If their portfolio was as conservative as just a 3 year Treasury bond, which has risen 3% in the past year, they would've lost 9% and been insolvent now. But we already know banks like SVB have been going far riskier for yield; 10 year MBS compared to 3y Treasuries...

SVB and Signature bank suffered from a liquidity crisis rather than a solvency crisis. The fed has often stepped in to provide liquidity in such situations but instead here shut them down. This could be a trend to shut down smaller regional banks to force consolidation to larger banks. This is helped by these downgrades and other pundits triggering further liquidity crises. The big question is why this is happening and what is their outcome desired. Could it be paving the way for CBDC?
They did not exactly downgraded it with no reason, just for gun isn't it?
> then a correct version of that off-chain data would need to be provided

Correct, which means that there has to be an ultimate source of truth that everyone agrees on that is independent of the blockchain. Which means there has to be an authoritative central agency of some sort to handle that. Which means that the blockchain has not, in fact, accomplished the stated goal.

> Is the only reason a switch hasn't happened down to 40+ years of inertia?

What you call "inertia" others would call "compatibility". We have 30+ years of muscle memory and working software to keep in mind. The same shortcuts which worked in Windows 3.x should mostly still work on Windows 1x. Apple created the Command key early in their ecosystem's lifetime, so they didn't have as much backwards compatibility to worry about.

And even back when the "Windows logo" key was introduced, there were already reasons to not do the change you propose: first, we already had a large amount of Windows 3.x software and users to consider, and second and most importantly, Windows 9x could be used with keyboards without the "Windows logo" key (and they were very common back then). Even today, that's still possible: you can still use a keyboard without both the "Windows logo" key and the "Menu" key, and everything still works perfectly fine.

(I do agree that it would better if clipboard shortcuts used something other than Control everywhere, but that ship has long sailed.)

Sorry for the ones losing their jobs. Meta has been mismanaged for the past few years.

Focusing on Metaverse while TikTok is continuing to increase user engagement is senseless. If I were Zuck, I would do three things:

0) Wind down Metaverse investment. Throw it back into research. Kill the product. Take the loss. He has controlling interest in the stock so he probably gets a few mulligans. So long as he presents a competent forward looking strategy, I think the investor base will still give him a few more chances.

1) Narcissism 2.0 or really, Instagram 2.0 - Merge Instagram with Reels. This is hard. The experience/monetization/product has to be just right to not cannibalize existing instagram advertising revenue or user traction. It would be easy to fall down the multiple message app mess at Google. The benefit of merging is to own the best global platform for every narcissistic creator on the planet - from movie stars to your dog. Advertisers want eyeballs. Narcissists want eyeballs, some want money. Truly understand why creators are on TikTok and entice them back to a better Facebook property.

2) Lobby to get TikTok banned. If Zuck can't defeat TikTok on product development then he can get it banned. Spend dollars lobbying politicians and demand results.

I think Zuck still has a number of winning plays available to him.
contrarian view - they are actually pretty open. sharing GPT, CLIP, Whisper, and high level details of alphastar, dalle, and others.

they're just not open source. they never called themselves OpenSourceAI. people get an inch of openness and expect the doors wide open and i think that is unfairly hostile.
So when are we going to finally recognize Meta as a failed/failing business? Laying off 10k employees for funies (after the prior layoffs) isn't exactly a great reflection on the business org in a long term view or that their financials are stable.

When I want to parse a thing I know that all I need to do is turn it into a bunch of tokens and then gradually loop over all the tokens until I've reduced them into something that can't be reduced further, and that lets me do infix and all of that good stuff.
