Every service does this. Either that or they're the next Pirate Bay: a service blocked under copyright law without violating copyright, they only linked to places that were happy to infringe copyright (specific torrent peers). Domains were expropriated, IP addresses blocked, ISPs coerced into replacing DNS entries... If I remember correctly, the founders also all have interesting stories about the legacy this carried for them personally when trying to do business later.

Until a VPN service gets that kind of status, you can assume they either follow local laws or haven't gotten a request for data logging for anything bad enough yet (realize that this doesn't have to be even close to murder-for-hire: being complicit in other people sharing movies between them reaches that "bad enough" bar).

Since it’s trained on a specialized supercomputer I doubt we’ll be seeing an open source or non-OpenAI version of this for the next couple years at least. Sad to say it but OpenAI has successfully privatized AI
To be clear, I would rarely jump if the lights had just changed Red - more if I was approaching and the crossing was clear - at a pedestrian crossing if everyone who wanted to cross had passed, or at a cross roads type junction where there were no cars in motion, or their lights had just turned red, but ours hadn't yet turned green. Also if I was doing a left turn at a light though that was rarer given my route. Very rarely, if there was a jam and traffic was stationary across a crossing I would go, but again that wasn't a common one.

Mainly I did it as it meant I could keep my speed and stay away from cars - if you come to a stop at a light (at the front of the queue) then you are accelerating from the front of the pack as the cars are itching to get by you - this way when they caught up with me and passed me at 30 (if they were lucky) I was already doing 20.

As I said, I stopped relatively soon in my commuting career and just got better at holding road position, and at my own fitness so stopping and starting had less of an affect on me. Also slowly over the year traffic seemed to get more bike aware and less hectic. But I do understand why people do it, even if it does make all cyclists look bad.

I was 'knocked off' (though not actually off) my bike 3 times, and all three was thankfully scary but not painful. Once I taxi passenger opened their door into the bike lane and nearly doored me, I was able to just skid into the door and shout so loud the passenger didn't actually get out so wasn't hurt, and twice drivers just turned left into my lane in 2 (or 3) lane traffic - luckily our speeds were similar - once I was able to keep myself up by hanging from the vans wing mirror, and once I was just knocked a bit. Horrible - but all helped me take the road space I needed and actively stop cars overtaking me when it was not safe (and inversely pulling to the side when possible to let more timid drivers pass).
1) I didn't want to be someone who only learned machine learning/deep learning solely because it was the sexy thing at the time (still is). I took a class that covered classical computer vision, as well as signal processing classes. So while I wouldn't say I'm an expert, I'm familiar with traditional approaches (enough to be dangerous). I would agree a Masters is not enough to become a deep expert. Unfortunately, I do think you just have to do a PhD to give yourself enough time to explore and absorb all of the complexities of this space.

2) I did a thesis for my Masters program, using generative adversarial networks (GANs) for image compression. It was by no means novel, or a breakthrough, but what I did learn (and this is so obvious it's painful to write this) is that you should pretty much never train from scratch and that you should always use transfer learning. As far as what I did at my last company, it was basically taking state of the art models from the MMDetection python package, fine tuning them to our use case, and then deploying them. So I wasn't really doing anything from scratch.

Iridium constellation orbits at 780km, while Starlink is slightly lower at 550km. Don't know how much, if any, difference that makes in the signal strength requirements. As I understand it, Iridium was designed with the tradeoff of accepting weaker signals with lower throughput, while Starlink wants high throughput and needs a stronger signal.

The U.S. produces a massive amount of emissions itself, especially considering its much smaller population compared to China and India. The U.S. government has the ability to set energy policy (e.g. not allowing new oil exploration, phasing out use of fossil fuels), which could reduce global emissions significantly.

The U.S. can’t control what China and India’s energy policies are (although it certainly can greatly influence world energy markets), but it can control its own energy policy and should do that. That the U.S. is not is just making things worse.

Wow, calculus from 1 to 4, and LeetCode easy from 12 to 31; at this rate, GPT-6 will be replacing / augmenting middle/high school teachers in most courses.
Can't wait to try it.

Edit: looks like this is still GPT-3, just fine tuned. They claim the model is available via ChatGPT Plus, but when asking that model for it's version, it claims to be GPT-3: "I am a variant of the GPT architecture called GPT-3, which was released by OpenAI in 2020".
Looks like it can double as a landing platform for an AMZN delivery drone.
Those guard rails will be their undoing. They have that thing locked down so much now that it spits out the “I’m sorry, I’m just a bot. I’m so ethical” boilerplate for anything even remotely sensitive.

I really don’t think that the methods they use “block” certain behavior is the best way to handle this sort of thing. It would be far better if there was some kind of “out of band” notification that your conversation might be treading on shaky ground.
Access is invite only for the API, and rate limited for paid GPT+.

> gpt-4 has a context length of 8,192 tokens. We are also providing limited access to our 32,768–context (about 50 pages of text) version, gpt-4-32k, which will also be updated automatically over time (current version gpt-4-32k-0314, also supported until June 14). Pricing is $0.06 per 1K prompt tokens and $0.12 per 1k completion tokens.

The context length should be a huge help for many uses.
> So "consumers" are always said to "pay" as companies "pass through" increased costs due to goods, regulations, etc.

It isn’t always said, because it isn’t always true. If the business you’re looking at has profits, then it has pricing power, and the conditions for 100% pass-through don’t exist.

1) It is a general version of knowledge distillation. For example, this paper from 2016 describes the same technique: Sequence-Level Knowledge Distillation [0]

> This sequence-level approximation leads to a simple training procedure wherein the student network is trained on a newly generated dataset that is the result of running beam search with the teacher network

2) Fine-tuning is a step in the training process. Language models are first pre-trained, then fine-tuned. This is a pedantic quibble.

3) It is unsurprising that you don't understand ad hominem. Giving background information and pointing out the style of writing is relevant to arguments made.

Sounds like it's successfully approximating a human (I wish I was joking).

The current "state of the art" for human commenters who are acting in bad faith is to google their position and cite articles and papers that don't even support their claims knowing full well that people will have to waste time reading your BS sources to disprove you and that even if they do you've still one because you've got them to stop arguing against your position and instead argue against your sources. These miscreants are often successful in using their false appeals to authority to convert people to their side.

Of course ChatGPT doesn't know what "bad faith" is but regardless it's almost performing on their level.

We are marching toward a world where dishonest spinsters and BSers pretending to be experts are going to be replaced with bots.

Improve Your Daily Standup with a Question of the Day
I think if you've never left the USA you would obviously think that there was some sort of conspiracy to install fake elevator door close buttons, since there is absolutely no feedback in the system that would help an uninformed layperson realize that the door IS closing but on a several second delay. When I lived in China, EVERY elevator door close button worked, and worked instantly. This led to exactly the behavior you would expect, of selfish people getting in elevators and immediately shutting them to hurry on towards their destination. This is not possible in America, where the ADA requires the 3-second minimum delay explained in this article so that e.g. people in wheelchairs have time to get into the lift. So it's not the case that our American elevator door close buttons are placebos, but they ARE doing a terrible job of informing users what they are doing and why.

If there were no exchanges to provide a friction-free way for speculators and suckers to buy Bitcoins and Bitcoin recipients to turn them into spendable cash, there would be virtually no demand to buy or accept goods for Bitcoins, and the supply of Bitcoins exceeding the demand for them would obviously render them useless as a "store of value"

English isn't my first language either, and I know how confusing it can be, so let me help here.
Here is the quote from the post: "If crypto people feel that the losses are because of Fed's actions, then they should also agree that the profits are because of Fed's actions". As we know, Fed's actions have changed: from providing "cheap" or almost free money (rate was something like 0.08%) to much more expensive ~4.5% now. It wouldn't be a huge leap of reason to assume that at least some of the impressive growth of crypto was driven by insanely low interest rates. But that's just my opinion, feel free to keep comparing monetary policy to homeopathy.

That suggests to me, a lot of investors are using the wrong strategy of trying to time the market.
I agree with you that there's more to people than numbers. But it's a lot easier to surface that when you have a frame of reference and some consistency in how you measure:

"so, last week you had a -23.5% contribution... You usually are on the positive side, so what's up?" and the employee tells me that their lead stuck them on a project where they hand no experience, and didn't have time to learn how to do x or y before getting thrown at a ticket... or, "I'm having some issues with <personal>..."

Stuff as a manager you can sometimes help a lot with... and other times, well, you can be supportive. Just because numbers are involved does not mean we have to be cold and heartless... At the same time, I've found managing without numbers to just lead to cliqe-y political culture where people's ability to schmooze is rewarded more than their contribution to the team and that drives away the most effective contributors.

> And hey, if you don’t need a full hour, it’s okay to make 1on1s shorter!

Agree... I think I just realized that the exception should be a long 1 on 1. Just because I schedule 15 minutes doesn't preclude taking more time if there's something in the 1 on 1 that should take longer.
Codeium already has this enterprise option, with self-hosting, fine-tuning, and even things like search on top of autocomplete and way more IDEs: https://codeium.com/

How are you different?
Many good points. I agree with essentially everything you've said, especially regarding relative perplexity.

I'm aware that I was aggressively overselling an unnuanced and overstated position on 4-bit and especially 3-bit performance. That was partially a rhetorical tactic to swing the pendulum the other way, as it were.

And partially it was simply frustration with the number of threads I've seen in the past week of LLaMA drama spreading misinformation about bit precision like "a 16bit 13B model surely outperforms a 4-bit 30B model" which could not be further from the truth. That frustration is my own responsibility to manage and I understand that.

As per the article:

Have executives at Moody’s gone to jail yet for destroying our economy by colluding with investment banks in rating junk MBS as AAA?
I think it's interesting that they've benchmarked it against an array of standardized tests. Seems like LLMs would be particularly well suited to this kind of test by virtue of it being simple prompt:response, but I have to say...those results are terrifying. Especially when considering the rate of improvement. bottom 10% to top 10% of LSAT in <1 generation? +100 pts on SAT reading, writing, math? Top 1% In GRE Reading?

What are the implications for society when general thinking, reading, and writing becomes like Chess? Even the best humans in the world can only hope to be 98% accurate their moves (and the idea of 'accuracy' here only existing because we have engines that know, unequivocally the best move), and only when playing against other humans - there is no hope of defeating even less advanced models.

What happens when ALL of our decisions can be assigned an accuracy score?
Most of your types? Well that certainly deserves congratulations and I hope someone will take advantage of the opportunity.

I think you misunderstood me though if you say I haven’t used them properly. I just didn’t need them or find them that useful because it rarely happens that I want to model a type which has several states.

Specific variant types like std::optional or the Result-equivalents are useful, but not that game changing either. They’re nice I suppose.

I wonder what kind of software you write that such low-level coding idioms make a big difference to the end result. Or what do you mean by game changing?
No, but I'm a heavy Zod user so ArkType it looks interesting. Thanks for the tip!

This gets brought up in every thread involving the words OpenAI, can we maybe just talk about the release?
You're welcome. It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine that people seem to be optimising the wrong things.

That said, to add another reason why doing the GPU ones may well be worthwhile on modern systems anyway, whether or not one addresses the other performance bits: Being able to use shaders to add effects is fun. E.g. I hacked in an (embarassingly bad) shader into Kitty at one point to add a crude glow effect around characters to make it usable with more translucent backgrounds. Doing that with a CPU based renderer on a modern resolution would definitely be too slow. I wish these terminals would focus more on exploring what new things doing GPU based rendering would allow.

I did assume some familiarity with e.g. the Japanese Economic Miracle & MITI such that they didn't need to be mentioned by name, nor the successes and contributions of NASA and DARPA specified, nor links to reporting on German renewable initiatives decades ago provided... but I think that points to a gap in familiarity with the topic that is precisely the source of disagreement here, and addressing that would be the best way to reach a point of being able to have any kind of useful exchange.
