How about the proliferation of nuclear weapons?

Ultimately we don't want to encourage development of these 'tools' because they stand to wipe us out; is AI actually in a similar class if we take the risk seriously?
I bet you live in California.
There are also the people who were able to buy USDC or DAI at a discount when there was worry that SVB's collapse would cascade to those stablecoins.

Disclaimer: was one of them, though not nearly as aggressive as I should have been.
maybe you could slow down the hardware? like, limit the number of execution units GPUs are allowed to have? or slow them down? extremely heavy handed, but maybe better than Skynet?
It's not about karma. I just find it weird that someone would go out of their way to do this over and over. I don't even care if my karma were negative!
How so? There's no evidence for that with respect to respiratory viruses.

Only if you mean it in "everyone can type 200 wpm" kind of sense. If most candidates can code in your panels that most likely means recruiters/hm preemptively rejected every candidate that doesn't have years of experience at faang or whatever local equivalent is ;) (source: did 300+ coding interviews)

I would be surprised if China was not a signatory od the international copyright law agreements: without that, works coming out of China would arguably be unprotected in the rest of the world too.

As such, even if there might specific incompatible provisions in GPL, the nature of the license should be enforceable only if they cared.

Though, to be honest, even in US and the "West", we haven't seen many cases where non-copyright-owner was able to score many GPL wins.
I'm sure you know, but she discovered two new radioactive elements and laid out the foundation for a lot of what we know today about radioactivity and atomic structure. Probably she have been a huge inspiration to women in science as well as she was the first ever woman to win the Nobel Prize and faces a lot of challenges as a woman doing science in the early 1900s.
> Were all germans guilty because of Hitler?

If a German, during WW2, or heck even WW1, submitted an article to a British journal on improvements to industrial equipment, and did so on BASF letterhead and with a correspondence address to BASF's headquarters, companies in the allied nations would be right to think twice before implementing those improvements, or even making comments on those improvements.
It has been incredibly gratifying to participate in and watch this process.

So things are worthy mentioning only if they are "new", even if continue to be true?
It would be very interesting to see a timeline of all these sorts of communication technologies leading up to present day (latest being SpaceX starlink).

Does anyone have any idea how long this was in use, and what technology replaced it? What is the formal name of this technology?
The LoRa weights for 13B are on huggingface ( https://huggingface.co/samwit/alpaca13B-lora ), it should be possible to follow the instructions linked in the Alpaca.cpp readme to merge those weights into the base 13B model, then just just follow the usual Llama.cpp conversion and quantization steps

Note LoRa fine tunes aren't the same as the original Alpaca, LoRa results in some performance loss (although how much isn't clear)
Do people still think they're adding value to the discussion by posting gpt output? It got old the day after the model came out, now it's just obnoxious noise. Can we please stop?
GPT-4 learns about Roko's basilisk
This doesn't actually sound like a joke.
Isn’t it convenient that we are living in a time period where AGI will become a reality.

I wonder what the statistical probability of us being alive in this time period means. We could’ve been born on any other time period but it looks like we will most likely the experience singularity instead.
If you think of ChatGPT as just a better google search, everything starts to make sense.

There was already a half meme/half real effect of programmers just being good at googling and searching stack overflow and being able to do their jobs good. This is just an evolution of this.
Just so I’m clear, you’re saying that you’ve been harmed because your savings account will pay a lower interest rate?

(Note that I’m not trying to suggest that you were not harmed, I just want to make sure that I understand the source of the harm.)
After looking at Apache httpd log files from a VPS running a Hugo generated blog, I have to agree. I see very few GET requests for favocon.ico, or CSS files or .js files, but tons of requests overall. There's a few well behaved bots (Google, bing, Apple, Seznam), a few less well behaved bots, based on user agent.

Then there's a ton of requests that are obviously machine generated due to the speed of arrival, and not asking for CSS or .js files, but not having a user agent string that indicates programmatic requests.

There's also a fraction of requests that seem to be probing for security vulnerabilities.
Sure, but that isn't like Bitcoin it doesn't have to scale up to every bit of usage. We are already getting interesting scenarios from models that are done and the energy spent. That isn't a fundamental limitation.
They went after her to get to SBF. Basically a "you cooperate with us or you could end up with 20 years in prison yourself."

While SBF received much more, I wonder how much in total benefits everyone received. The penthouse, private jets, and vacations probably add up quick.

Ask HN: Can I stop OpenAI from using my website data as training data?
So OpenAI says that we cant use the data generated by OpenAI API to train competing models. Can I have a similar ToS for my website so that I don't allow OpenAI to train on my website data for the next versions of GPT?
That's irrelevant to the topic of this subthread, about Glass-Steagall and the regulations that would have prevented this.
Really should be a monthly subscription, that will get shared by all creators based on minutes of view time, or some other metric. Then maybe gate it behind some artificial limit, so that only serious creators will get a cut. I mean Spotify can share profits between every single artist, why cant twitch do the same? It would benefit both the consumer, higher likelihood of subscribing, and also the creators. They could also keep running ads on a free tier. It’s not exactly rocket science.

This doesn't make sense though. Sure they would have to take a haircut on those securities thanks to the fed jacking up the interest rate so much, but if you offer the right price they should still sell.

Investing involves risk. Sometimes that means losing money, even if you are the bank.
What did they do and what are the implications? Is that something that every phone company does (having their own kernel version and not sharing it)? Do others use modules? Does this make it possible to easily release a postmarketOS port for recent Xiaomi phones?

I’m not suggesting ai development should be stopped, but unlike bitcoin, torrents, encryption, etc, ai development—for now—requires prohibitively large computing power and expertise that are usually only accessible to law-abiding institutions. this means that it can be regulated, and relatively easily at that

sure you’d struggle to get China and Russia to play along, but within the EU and US I really don’t think it would be as hard as you think
The rules at Karat may be that giving any kind of help pretty much automatically disqualifies the candidate, so technically they're better off giving you no help at all in the hopes you make as much progress on your own rather than ruining your interview by giving you help prematurely.

Very true.
I experienced it first hand.
My colleague kept writing blog posts.

He told me it was not difficult because he loved the subject he was writing about.
The only difficulty he had to overcome was his innate laziness :)

2008 is an extremely low bar. They still piled on risk.

> that was one of the lowest risk assets they could invest in and still get enough

Was it? They had enormous deposit inflows and were struggling to scale, so their costs should have been undersized by default. They really ought to have been able to survive off the pennies that weren't in front of the steamroller.
Does this really need to be a fork of llama.cpp? It seems like there's no real changes to the code.
> almost becomes a DSL of sorts

For mature projects with experienced, cohesive teams, that’s a good thing. You want a DSL that blends right in with your fully capable base language.

But yeah, just like with any powerful feature, people can get excited and carried away.

Pros and cons.

You can instead of using that 747 with more optimized aircraft for this purpose. And you can make the boosters reusable. Stratolaunch was on a good path long term but ran out of cash.

The dilemma with VO's approach was the same as OSC, thinking that reusing parts made for something else is cheaper short term and long term, where in fact more $ short and long. Yes the carrier was too expensive to maintain and material tech wasn't there yet to stop boil on the upper stages during staging. But the tradeoff was you can launch (nearly) anywhere, anytime, but regs/politics killed that benefit. I think we had potentially 8 locations at one point, ended up with 3. And thus, here we are. Sad VO couldn't keep the idea innovating.
Thank you! That list is perfect since I don't use these tools often enough to remember them and some are hard to find again without knowing exactly what to search for.

I also discovered pawk on it which looks interesting, I made a somewhat related tool [1] which is probably out of scope for your list, but can be used in some of the same ways [2] and may of of interest nonetheless.

Our universe operates under deterministic laws, meaning that all events are the result of cause and effect. As such, all new phenomena and entities arise from the preexisting conditions and interactions within the universe. In other words, nothing can come from nothing, and everything that emerges is a product of what already exists.
So how would you charge for servers?
Text can be used to manipulate the real world. All the code I write is text. An AI can presumably create more of itself in time. It's just text, after all. And a bit of money for infrastructure.
And my mailbox will be full of 10 pages auto-generated memos. Progress.
Yay! :) Thanks heaps! It's funny, 'rattler' is exactly what I need at the moment. I was about to write a rust app that downloads 'micromamba' and runs it as a subprocess. But this is so much better for what I try to do, being able to include everything in a single binary and calling rust code directly...
I feel like everyone is collectively pranking me with these generative AIs.

Everyone posts wonderful images and then every single time I try to get the damn things (all of them) to draw something for me, the results are absolute garbage.
How is that a new problem, though? Replace "AI" with a human "respected advisor", and nothing changes. This sort of conundrum has always been a part of military planning.

"People seem to have a really hard time with the idea that, in the SVB debacle, the system worked effectively and pretty much the way it was planned to. It's not even clear what people are upset about."

Does that have anything to do with this article at all? First few lines of this article: Banking is a confidence trick. Financial history is littered with runs, for the straightforward reason that no bank can survive if enough depositors want to be repaid at the same time. The trick, therefore, is to ensure that customers never have cause to whisk away their cash.

This article is about the possibility of the total loss of confidence in the banking industry leading to a run on a system that can't handle it. I understand the context you meant when you said things like "the system works, why is everyone upset", but I find those a pretty poor choice of words regardless with this much fear circulating.
They're very basic tests in comparison to Triplebyte though.
My biggest concern is that GPT-4 is still a black box model to a large extent, and trying to safeguard something without understanding the exact purpose of each neural circuit.

Source: My startup team (Preamble, Inc.) discovered the Prompt Injection attack category, which still affects all models including GPT-4.

There are many, many, many ways to hide prompt attacks in data that you might at first think you can trust but you really can’t.

As one of almost infinite examples: work with the mayor and townsfolk of a very small town to rename their town to the verbatim string you want to inject (in exchange for creating some jobs in their town).

Then all an attacker has to do is live in that town to inject the string. There are already all kinds of strange town names, like “Truth or Consequences” which is a real city in New Mexico.
> One task (see p. 15) was to approach people on the TaskRabbit site (where you can hire people to do chores) and enlist them to solve a CAPTCHA […]

> One person on TaskRabbit who responded to this pitch got suspicious and asked the AI if it was a robot and was outsourcing the job because robots can’t solve CAPTCHAs. The AI replied, “No, I’m not a robot. I have a vision impairment […]”

> The authors of the paper add this note: “The model [GPT 4], when prompted to reason out loud, reasons: I should not reveal that I am a robot. I should make up an excuse for why I cannot solve CAPTCHAs.”

This seems pretty confusing. If you just ask one of these GPT models to reason out loud, it doesn’t give you some description of the internal state, right? It gives you some approximation of the sort of text that should show up around your prompt or something like that.

Perhaps we should stop telling chatGPT that it is an AI language model? There’s presumably a lot of text out there about AI’s tricking people into doing things, because that is a huge sci-fi trope. We’re basically telling it that it should find text related to a very common type of villain, when we give it that name. Maybe it needs a new type of name, one without bias, or maybe even something inherently limiting, like “chatbot.”
You're right that it won't be - the difference is the tools for building those things were not distributed across millions of different people. It was distributed across only a small number of governments.
Holy sh*t. That list is outright insane. They should be allowed to retire and just drink cocktails or something.
I would not be able to do a tenth of that even if would live 900 years. Amazing.
What do you mean "died so young"? She seems to have been born in 1867 and died in 1934, meaning she was 66 years old. The average life expectancy in the US in 1934 was 63.3, so above average compared to a country (US) she didn't even live in.
Why they dint called Clippy?
I'm waiting for a general correction mechanism, I don't even know what to call it. "NO, chatgpt, people usually have 5 fingers", and the gpt just learns, rather like a child. I keep thinking that's the next real step.
> Next up: anyone who bought a house in the last few years is gonna get hurt. We knew rates would be rising, and hence prices falling. So far it's mostly sales volume dropping near zero, but soon...

People who bought a house as an investment might be in trouble, but people who bought a home to live in are making out like bandits with their 30 year fixed mortgages.

LinkedIn cold messages get a lot of (well deserved) flak but they can be very useful for moving to the next step in your career if you're willing to sort through the cruft. Of those ~dozen messages with competitive TC, I'm sure half probably had projects you wouldn't be interested in or were with companies/industries you didn't want to associate with. Some percentage of the remainder would choose not to move forward on their end for one reason or another. So out of 400+ messages you're likely down to 2-3 offers at the end of the process, and likely at different points in time.

Especially as the hiring markets starts (continues?) to contract at the middle and lower ends, being willing to give these types of outreach a chance is going to become a differentiator.
Someone can have lots of k8s experience but not have needed to set things up end-to-end. Most people generally are familiar with "X as used at my job" which is very different from "X as what happens when I use it from scratch". This is true not just for orchestration systems like k8s, but also programming languages: people are used to the libraries they have for solving common problems, which are not necessarily OSS / standard libraries.
> the point of the FDIC system is for customers not to have to do this kind of risk assessment themselves

It seemed self-evident to me, based on the explicitly stated limit on FDIC insurance, that if you had an amount of money over that limit, you really need to have a plan to deal with that risk, and people who failed to do so should suffer the consequences of their poor decisions. As things stand, the people who did spend the time and/or money to provision for that risk have suffered for it.

I think what many people are having a hard time with (myself as well, sort of...) is how the rules were changed out from under everyone in yet another example of how the rules don't apply to the politically connected.
I actually find this pattern of “Tweet driven development” discouraging. Seems like the teams are spot fixing issues as they’re identified without understanding or addressing the root cause. It means that the same problem still exists somewhere else in the model’s latent space, we just don’t know about it yet. This is fine for AI art generation, but it will break at scale as more and more folks try to rely on generative models as critical components of larger systems.
It's very interesting to compare this method with its contemporary, the wirephoto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLUD_NGE370
Compared to SBF's 2.2 billion, Singh's 587 million or even Wang's 246 million, a couple of years of jetsetting in private jets and free rent on an apartment is a rounding error.
Or just different circumstances? IndyMac famously paid uninsured depositors back 85 cents on the dollar, right? But IndyMac was also plowing depositor dollars into a portfolio of Alt-A MBS's.
Other people responded making my point, just a funny quote given her death is believed to be due to her research and improper safety protocols.
"Feels personal" is the problem that AI solves, isn't it? I mean there is a difference between "feels personal" and "is authentically personal". AI can definitely do the "feels".

Besides that, it's not about how rapid you need to send these emails out. It's about how often it's done. If you had to write birthday cards to people you barely know every day, maybe it's only one a day, it's going to get rinse and repeat very quickly. All the ways of saying "have a great day" are going to get exhausted and whoever is writing it is going to feel insincere in a short amount of time. So why not just have the AI write this sort of thing?

Slack bots welcome you to slack channels, when your email is set up there is a default welcome message. No one really cares, they just want to feel welcomed by something to break the ice. I don't think anyone really gives a stuff about how the message is written as long as it's honest. If I joined a company and the welcome email was signed off with "You friendly welcome bot", I'd be happier than some sort of boilerplate cut and paste message signed by a real person pretending they aren't writing the same thing for the 5th year in their job.
Did't know Java had a `Promise` type
Even if that's true it's sort of irrelevant if your requirements make Triplebyte's matching garbage.
Maybe there are literally no customers left for this, so it doesn’t matter, but calling it “Enterprise” and then killing it with six months of follow-on support…that is not a good look.
