So should I just use dd or something? Or can I actually just rsync from one root to another and that will capture all of the dependencies, nginx config, literally everything? GPT-4 tells me I can just shut off everything that might change the file system in source (nginx sshd etc.) then literally rsync from root to root with

sudo rsync -aAXv --exclude-from=exclude-list.txt --delete --numeric-ids --rsync-path="sudo rsync" / user

(the exclude list is just /dev /proc /sys /tmp /run /mnt /media /lost+found).

I have the same feeling, people are very concentrated on the ability of this AI generators to create working code from super specific and well formed prompts. When in reality, figuring out what the prompt should be accounts for 80% of the job.
I read in one news article that they got the same terms as all the other depositors at FRC, so the interest rate is negligible.

Obviously the real benefit to them is calming the panic in the banking sector, which is harmful to all of them.

How do you mean? Imo it's easier to organize as you can split up your logic into normal functions and custom hooks (which are also just functions).

I also find functions much easier to read as there is no "this" and you can simply read them top to bottom for order of execution.
But if you don't take out loans, you almost certainly guarantee failure to reach the top of the pyramid.

There is an idea bouncing around my brain for a pipe-dream science fiction book I could write, about the rise of the first truly sentient (or sentient-appearing) AI & its effects on the world.

It is beginning to get to the point where I am considering whether I need to actually start writing this book before this "sci-fi" concept becomes a mundane reality.

I’m guessing one is data. The limit would be once you’ve trained a LLM on all public (or even private) data. Sure you can still make some improvements or try to find some additional private data but still, a fundamental limit has been reached.
I am not excited. I am terrified.

Right at the beginning of the current wave (2010-2012) of ML approaches I did some work on ML systems and NLP, and back then I clearly saw how nothing truly outstanding is happening, we were only starting to figure our what GPUs were capable of.

So all of this was fun: NLP, ML, vintage AI. But nothing felt like it did was groundbreaking, or would solve fundamental true GAI problems, or was even close.

Yet, 10 years later, here we are. Language is solved. In most areas I know /something/ about (programming, ML, NLP, compilers) this is huge and makes mountains of knowledge obsolete.
So it's about as risky as bungee jumping 5cm high using a VR headset with 5 medics around you?

This is quite funny right, people get scared of FR so they pull their money at and run to daddy (JPM) who then proceeds to take that money and... put $5Bn uninsured into FR. What I really don't understand though, is that not only is this a level of co-ordination any normal industry would be barred from doing, haven't we essentially moved to a point where any reasonably large bank is now being gauranteed because we're so scared of contagion? Doesn't this basically make Banking a utility? There's massively limited downside to running a bank now. Given that there's now a capped downside to banking, wouldn't it be logical at this point to cap upside? 100% taxation over some level of profits - since the obvious answer to a capped downside is to up your risk to increase profit?
Funny- That’s like saying the iPhone is a nothingburger. Who would buy such thing right?

1. If you put a sixth grader in second grade, they wont be happy because they are doing a lot less than they should and could be doing. I think this feeling applies for sixth year students, that know they could be starting a real job or building a family.

2. Academia is built on the the theoretical.

Learning is cool, and theories are nice, and colleges are full of kids that don't bear the responsibility of their actions. But most people eventually get the nagging and uncomfortable suspicion that the world that they are being sold doesn't quite match up to reality. A feeling associated with bitterness, cynicism, and denial.

OT> IMO, this one reason why academia is so strongly leftist. Socialism and Communism are theoretically utopian, but can never work in the real world. Ditto to monetary theory (if it was so reliable, the profs would all be rich and retired), and liberalism (unfortunately, since I really buy into the theory), and other agendas that are popular on campus.

No one is saying that decentralized compute platforms are a problem.

Torrents, IPFS, seti.home etc... were quite popular.

It's blockchain that is the problem. It is the inherent massive massive waste and inefficiencies in that technology that prompts everyone to say that there are more efficent ways to do it, and in the end something that can do the same thing more efficiently is better.
It seems objectively correct, though. The model is simpler. They might take the model and do more processor intensive work with it, transforming it, tessellating if, etc. before render (like all models). But the model itself, is simpler.
Many people are blown away by GPT for the leverage it provides, not because it makes the impossible possible.

Programming is generally not hard. Producing 5x - 10x as much programming output at the same quality is quite hard. And keeping the most interesting 10% for yourself while offloading the 90% that is basically just typing? That’s what people are excited about.
the point of the program is to attract new contributors, not to reward old ones. how is that toxic?
Up to $5bn. The actual likely value at risk is a lot smaller; would need a First Direct balance sheet to estimate it.

Are you confusing bootcamp and college? Or are you hiring people with only English degrees instead of CS degrees?

Sure, I graduated from college almost two decades ago but all those "can't"s were very much part of the standard CS curriculum then. You needed those skills to pass CS 101.

The new grads I work with now at are fine on the terminal. They only complain that they didn't learn how to use more "advanced" features of debuggers and IDEs in college. Exactly the opposite.
Somehow I doubt this was planned entirely privately. For one thing, absent a government nod, this kind of coordination raises serious antitrust concerns.
The A.I. Monte Carlo Ray Tracing Hallucination Engine can change society by showing as-is and to-be next state. Two use-cases: new infrastructure installation or upgrade and time interval inspection tracking ideal-case vs real world condition.

A civil engineer can walk around with an iPad and iPhone to check-in the master plan.
They would definitely have very carefully checked their books. I expect they wouldn’t do it if the combined amount was not such that it all but guarantees the bank won’t fail.

Obviously these big banks have a strong interest in maintaining confidence in the wider banking sector so want to make sure it doesn’t go under.
Seems there is a psychological effect at play. I imagine a social ritual of standing and reading something that is always in-focus requiring no scrolling is far more appealing.
> Big highlighter on "deposit". No government or even FDIC money is involved in this.

No evidence on my part of back this up, but assuming that the government _isn't_ implicitly involved in de-risking this for banks seems naïve. I don't think these organizations, not exactly known for their civic-mindedness or charity, would risk any of their own precious liquidity without assurances or incentives from the government.
Er, doesn't "ChatGPT4" (quotes) get to write all the novels now?
Possibly the screaming for different things is being done by different people.
A 100% haircut would mean that their assets are effectively worthless. I highly doubt that the depositing banks would have done this if that were the case.
Draw calls is the same. The amount of tris does not affect the draw call count.
I had a fun conversation with Bing AI yesterday. I asked it to collate information on controveries Microsoft has been involved in over the years and it obliged, providing a fairly comprehensive list with diverse sources. I then told it it seemed like Microsoft was a pretty nasty company based on that summary, and it apologized for giving me such a wrong idea and went on about all the ways in which Microsoft was a great company.

The funny thing, though, was that it didn't provide any sources for that second response. I pointed out the discrepancy and it told me I was right and here are some sources and provided yet another unsourced summary of how Microsoft was great, basically writing its own sources itself. When I insisted twice more using different wording and requesting no primary sources it started retconning its arguments, but all the sources were from microsoft.com regardless. It was all very ironic.

This instantly reminded me of the "It will never be possible to brute force AES256 (Check 2^256 possibilities) because, even in the best case, it needs more energy than the whole Solar system contains" [0] The author states that 2^903 should be possible to do in less than a year. Am I wrong and those aren't related problems? Or is the author a bit optimistic?

Go meta and make ChatGPT write it for you.

There's a lot of work involved in book and chapter plans, as well as bios so you're not getting off lightly.

But chatGPT would be able to make a first draft for you for sure.
Once 'bash' is replaced by 'aish' and its avatar 'SAIri', users will be able to do the tasks that are not immediately clickable in the next menu, by just asking SAIri. At that point, your non-programmer friends won't be asking you stupid questions anymore! :-)

Unless 'aish' has crashed.
I don't think they were. Maybe they were new in gaming, but for the 3D/animation scene they were not new at that point, I remember using them earlier than so, and also using dump and displacement maps which are related concepts.
> this isn't about solvency but instead about people fundamentally not understanding and/or trusting how banks do business.

No, solvency is exactly what this is about:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/15/investing/first-republic-down...

"First Republic Bank’s credit rating was downgraded on Wednesday by both Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings on concerns that depositors could pull their cash despite the federal intervention. "

Solvency means you are able to pay your debts. Banks cannot pay their debts, ever. Banks are never solvent, they are always in debt. They make it appear they are solvent, on paper. They are only solvent in the future, not in the present.

This is they myth of banking that people do not understand or appreciate and that always puts the economy at risk. It was the FED raising rates that pushed their solvency further out into the future.
Isn't the graph of magazine subscriptions pretty rough looking over the last decades?
When Kindle first came out my kids were just starting to get into reading more, so I wrote a perl script to poll various RSS feed that emailed their own personalized "newsletter" to the Kindle for each of them. It was a fun project, but I don't think they paid it much attention. Eventually the feeds I was using all went defunct or threw so many errors I abandoned it.
This is nice and swell, but my experience with GPT-4 is that it lies.

A whole lot.

With style, I grant you, but blatant lies nevertheless.

Specifically, when you ask it to produce answers to factual questions that don't have an answer it learned on the internet, it just seem to flip to "generate stories" mode.

Specifically, when it produces factual answers (that are utter BS), if you ask it to provide a reference to its claims (a link), it just generates garbage URL's, none of which actually load, but all of which are actually extremely "plausible" (domain feels right, article title seems right, etc...).

When you corner it (it takes quite a while, because it keeps generating garbage for quite a few back-and forth interactions), it finally apologizes and advises you to go consult a more reliable source of information.

TL;DR: don't rely on answers provided by these things until:

- the "write a novel" mode that seems to be the default operating mode can be turned off hard (no lies please).

- answers come with a confidence score attached to it (which btw: when you ask for one, the damn thing proudly explains that it operates without these. I mean hell, even a four year old can tell you how confident he his when answering a question, including "I don't know").

- answers come with sources that don't actually produce a 404 when you try to read them.

I mean, I just spent an hour talking to something that felt like a total mythomaniac: when I asked it a somewhat obscure question about a topic in economics and asked for references, it when as far as inventing a book, complete with imagined title and author name. Neither author nor title could be found by all 4 major search engines I tried (yandex, duckduck, bing, and finally, google).

[EDIT]: don't believe me?

ask it to solve x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1 = 0 and read through the litany of BS is produces.

Telling it, for example, that one of the provided solution simply does not work when fed back into the original equation doesn't deter it in any way from producing yet another failed attempt at a solution, delivered with total aplomb.
> This is quite funny right, people get scared of FR so they pull their money at and run to daddy (JPM) who then proceeds to take that money and... put $5Bn uninsured into FR.

A $5B loss won't collapse JPM, so this works OK. (And it wouldn't be anywhere near $5B, either; they'd get a significant portion back even in the event of a FRB collapse.)

> is that not only is this a level of co-ordination any normal industry would be barred from doing

This seems the opposite of anti-competitive behavior that gets cartels/conspiracies in trouble.
Hi HN folks

This release marks a turning point in the project as we are adding a developer-facing feature from end to end: a new Jaeger backend to store and search your traces.

Also you have done the first step which is usually the hardest, realised you need help.

I don't agree with this. web3 does nothing to be the size of a big box store (amazon, wal-mart, etc.) or creating the hardware to read it on, or having publishers sign up for it, or any of the marketing that goes along with it.

> a world without religion leads people to moral depravity

This is exactly the case. Religion is a constant in human society across time and space. And one of its main functions is exactly that - to keep people away from moral depravity. Speaking against this function of religion (again, proved across all cultures and all times) only shows profound shallowness.

Personally I'm not much of a fan of Christianity or the other Abrahamic religions. And I think generally its time is coming to an end (with a long tapering off). But I think you can see quite clearly that the moving away from Christianity (probably inevitable) over the last century or so has led to moral decline and depravity in the West. If Christianity's time is coming to an end, we will neeed (and I believe we will generate) a new religion to replace it. And I don't think it will be in the Abrahamic tradition.
