> My main objective was being able to read my notes from a linux computer that doesn’t have access to iCloud.

Wouldn’t the easy way to do that be to write your notes in a email client and store them as drafts on an IMAP server?

That gives you fewer restrictions (as the article mentions “avoid using tables and drawings (there may be other elements that are not compatible with this method)”) and allows you to not only read, but also edit and write notes on your Linux computer.

The price you pay is an UI that has “To” and “Cc” entry fields and a “Send” button.

If you use an open source email client and are a developer, it shouldn’t be hard to get rid of those, too.

> shell scripts are very easy to write

I've been a developer for a long-ass time, though I don't have super frequent occasion where I find it worthwhile to write a shell script. It comes up occasionally.

In the past 2 weeks I've "written" 4 of them via ChatGPT for 1-off cases I'd have definitely found easier to just perform manually. It's been incredible how much easier it was to just get a working script from a description of the workflow I want.

Usually I'd need to double check some basic things just for the scaffolding, and then, maybe double check some sed parameters too, and in one of these cases look up a whole bunch of stuff for ImageMagick parameters.

Instead I just had a working thing almost instantly. I'm not always on the same type of system either, on my mac I asked for a zsh script but on my windows machine I asked for a powershell script (with which I'd had almost no familiarity). Actually I asked for a batch file first, which worked but I realized I might want to use the script again and I found it rather ugly to read, so I had it do it again as a powershell script which I now have saved.

Sure though, someone won't tell an LLM to write a shell script that just calls a python script. They'd have it make the python script.

Show HN: Story Bot – Blog where all the posts are written by AI
I created Story Bot, a blog powered by AI. It receives a prompt and generates a story with a title and an image. Almost all the content on the website has been generated exclusively by AI.

With the upcoming evolution of AI, I wanted to do a fun project where everyone can participate.

I ended up with this platform, I believe that a blog is something that can survive time and can show us how technology has been evolving. It could be a type of “archive”.

No, I think it's very clear that upthread is talking about how software is difficult to build a moat around.

Chip fabs are literally one of the most expensive facilities ever created. Saying that because they don't need a special moat so therefore nothing in tech ever needs a special moat is so willfully blind that it borders on disingenuity.
You're only bound by the terms of OpenAI's agreement if you agreed to the terms of use. If a third party obtained the data without signing an agreement with OpenAI (eg. by just downloading it from that repo) they are under no obligation to refrain from using it to compete with OpenAI. It is fair-use by the same argument OpenAI itself uses to train its own models on publicly available data.

I start with five:

1. "Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company" by Andrew Grove. It is a real CEO experiencing critical moments in a top company.

2. "How Life Imitates Chess" by Garry Kasparov (don't pay attention to the title...). Kasparov talks about different players with different styles and in different moments.

3. "New Directions in the Philosophy of Mathematics" edited by Thomas Tymoczko. Embed epistemological questions that at a higher level could be applied to business. In a way (2) is epistemological regarding chess and it ends when Deep Blue beats Kasparov and Kasparov start thinking in a new kind of chess called advanced chess (even if it was not successful).

4. Fred Wilson's blog, including MBA Mondays. Answers many questions from the perspective of a VC who can watch multiple companies execution at the same time and tell many humble stories.

5. "Idea Man: A Memoir by the Cofounder of Microsoft" by Paul Allen. It shows you the deep story before Microsoft, seems like a unique technological and advanced experience at that time by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Spoiler: the lucky IBM/DOS event is not why Microsoft is successful, the book gives you some deep roots before the company foundation.

Is that sort of code able to ‘just run’ on their arc series of GPUs?

It feels like intel kinda hates AVX512 on the cpu side (or wants to upsell you for it) so I’m wondering if they turned those cards into their GPUs
This isn't about calling external C code from Rust; it helps people "rewrite" their C code in Rust.

You can debate the merits of doing so, of course, but some people do want to do that, and a tool to generate safe, somewhat idiomatic Rust from C code would seem to be useful.
It is to punish. But the punishment is supposed to be the removal of liberty, nothing else.
> likely not possible to own the hardware outright

Why not? The majority of these models are running on fairly ubiquitous datacenter GPUs. They're being trained on highly available hardware. You're right that there's a compute barrier, but you get around that by throwing money at the problem. If someone was sufficiently motivated, they could probably dethrone OpenAI in 2 months with enough funding.
I'm not worried. Automating our jobs away is part of what programmers do, and always has been, but somehow we never run out of work to do.

I have not yet grown curious enough about Copilot to try it out; it seems to solve a problem I don't really have, since my productivity is never limited by typing speed. As you say, thinking and designing is the hard part.

What happened to the executives, board, and shareholders? I honestly don't know as I haven't followed that closely, but to me those are the most important three questions, and in that order, because that determines the level of moral hazard.

I'm less concerned over semantic arguments of what technically constitutes a bailout. Personally a stable banking system is important to me, as is accountability for risky investment strategies. I have a hard time seeing the situation is black and white enough to jump to a conclusion on exactly what the delta is between what happened and what should have happened.

As with all such things, the question isn't always "can we reduce consumption" but "can we improve efficiency"

I don't know the right answer, but hypothetically if 50% of fishing is waste, then reducing demand/consumption by 5% won't be as impactful as reducing waste by 20%.

And unlike the massive amount of consumers who all have to make different individual choices to achieve that, efficiencies in industries is likely to be centralized in a few big players.
>These are legal fictions that exist because the state’s monopoly on violence.

Well, ok I get you there. But they're not really "fictions" when backed by the force of that violence. This critique makes sense, I just don't know if it really can ignore the fact that the legal regime applies in most cases.
> basic job of a retail bank is to fund long-term loans with short-term deposits.

CDs are a thing. Unpopular because their rates sucked but that hasn’t always been the case.

Long-term loans become like short term loans closer to maturity. A mature bank should have a fair amount maturing every year, mortgages 24 or 23 or whatever years ago. Along with some early repayments or reissuances from people moving. Or 4 years ago for a vehicle, etc.

Both chatGPT and GPT models exhibit in-context learning, just as you do. The difference is that during your context updates modifications to your synapses occur as a consequence of your brain's activations.

Let's entertain a hypothetical scenario where I am a 5D creature, and you are (3 Space + 1 Time)D human.

I could go back to any point in your time and have any conversation that I wish with you. Each time I do that, I am effectively resetting your brain's state to that particular point in time.

The analog here is that for ChatGPT and the likes, time does not exist in the manner that it does for us, they are purely abstract in that they don't even need physical form to exist, it's a collection of ones and zeros that we store in such form because it is convenient.

You can very well store the parameters of the GPT models in any other medium capable of holding information and actually execute the model.

You can even compute gradient updates, or hook the models up to external data sources.

In the same vein, you "could" do the same for any human brain no matter how computationally prohibitive it may be.

You'd still classify the human brain as a general intelligence. Furthermore, we classify humans with long-term amnesia or inability to form new memories generally intelligent even though they only exhibit in-context learning.

This feels somewhat close to how human minds work, to me, maybe? I know my diction gets super stilted, I compose complex predicates, and I use longer words with more adjectives when I'm talking about technical subjects. When I'm discussing music, memey news, or making simple jokes I get much more fluent, casual, and I use simpler constructions. When I'm discussing a competitive game I'm likely to be a bit snarkier, because I'm competitive and that part of my personality is attached to the domain and the relevant language. And so on.
It varies by state here but a lot of people don’t know what their state considers legal.
As far as I know, the two ggml ones are basically just llama.cpp ports that include the ggml source code so if the support is not in llama.cpp, I don't think it's in these implementations either. Although maybe that also means that they'll gain that ability as soon as llama.cpp does.

I'm the author of the last one, rllama and it has no quantization whatsoever. I don't think any of these are improvements over llama.cpp for end-users at this time. Unless you really really really want your software to be in Rust in particular.
It is a dog whistle, the groups they talk about includes race, and based on how such people act it is obviously a paper made to encourage racism. By having published that paper now the racists can motivate their racism by saying "Fairness is impossible, I have to be racist here, just see this paper!", I don't think that such behaviour should be encouraged and I don't want racist dog whistles to get any support.

Otherwise the paper is pointless. Fairness is still possible as long as you disregard unrelated groupings, just look at the individuals relevant traits and evaluate those so fairness isn't impossible at all. Fairness is only impossible if you want some race or group to get a certain number of spots and they wont get those with a fair distribution, in that case you made fairness impossible since you added an extra requirement, but that isn't what most people mean with fairness. The only reason to add that requirement is that you want to treat a specific group unfairly, and the most salient such group are Asians in college.
Ah, but you don't have to actually assume liabilities, you can only lose as much as the purchase price.. So buying a company with 10 billion in debt and 10 billion in cash for $1 isn't $1 overpriced. It is an opportunity to take a 10 billion bet with "heads I win, tails I walk away chuckling."

From c2rust.com:

The C2Rust project is being developed by Galois and Immunant. This tool is able to translate most C modules into semantically equivalent Rust code. These modules are intended to be compiled in isolation in order to produce compatible object files. We are developing several tools that help transform the initial Rust sources into idiomatic Rust.

The translator focuses on supporting the C99 standard. C source code is parsed and typechecked using clang before being translated by our tool.
This could be handled by treating the annotations for toxicity/accuracy as distributions rather than scalar values (which is probably how we'd get them in the first place, since we'd have redundant evaluators for token sequences) and training the AI to predict both the mean and variance of the distribution. Areas where the AI had limited knowledge and things that people disagree on might have the same mean, but they'd get high variance scores, which would help people differentiate.
Do you have an example nugget that stuck with you?
They're not technically innocent. Nor are they technically guilty. Their status is in question.

And yes, the entire system is messed up. These people are being treated as definitely guilty when their status is in question. Sometimes for offenses that would not even require the level of incarceration they are at. You'll spend 15 months in jail awaiting trial for an offense that carries a 6 month maximum sentence. And even if they release you after 6 months because it would be cruel to incarcerate you "temporarily" for longer than the sentence to determine if you should even be incarcerated, it's not like you can get that 6 months back if you're not proven guilty. (Because the court doesn't prove you're innocent, just that it can't prove you're guilty, which is different.)

But your last sentence comes back around to the problem of there not being enough capacity for these people. ASAP could very well be a year and a half.

The system defers to assuming guilt because of fear. If you defer to assuming no guilt and you're wrong, you could be wrong in a very bad way. If you lock up an innocent man for 10 years, people will shake their heads and say "What a shame." If you let a murderer free while awaiting trial and they kill someone else, you are going to get absolutely fucked.

And while the chance of the second is pretty low, it's not a chance any of them want to take. It's Pascal wager, but for crime. And we know crime and criminals exist.
> GPT 1/2/3/4 is not AGI.

That's the comment you should have responded with instead of the one that you did.

Upthread used the term "tech" when the thread is very clearly talking about AI. AI is software, but because they used the term "tech" you cherry-picked non-software tech as a counter example. It doesn't fit because the type of tech that GPT-4 represents doesn't have the manufacturing cost like a chip fab does. It's totally different in kind regardless of the fact that they're both termed "tech".
You don't need to find a new data source, you just need to find an unencumbered third party. You can use the that data publicly provided in the git repo as long as you haven't signed an agreement with OpenAI yourself.

> I think they're referring to your original claim that tobacco smoke, without additives, doesn't cause cancer.

Once again I am being attributed something that is not mine. It is not my claim, it is the claim of the US Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, and I stand by the science which claims (i.e. it is not my claim, it is the claim of the US Surgeon General) that pipe smokers who inhale live as long as nonsmokers, and pipe smokers that don’t inhale live longer than non-smokers.

Smoking tobacco that is not infused with more than 300 known carcinogens does not cause cancer. No one is saying smoking is healthy, only that the cancer rates of natural tobacco smokers are non-existent, no higher than the general population. They'll just have to deal with that fact, that they've been lied to in order to protect Big Tobacco's cash cow and methods of making cigarettes intentionally more addicting to drive it. Natural tobacco, in comparison, has a fraction of the amount of nicotine as what's in national brand cigarettes and thus is in comparison far less addictive.

I honestly don't care. I just think it's interesting that most people believe tobacco causes cancer so strongly, and they're provably wrong. It's what they put in cigarettes that causes cancer, and I don't know how anyone can call that tobacco.

> Management can always find someone willing to behave un-ethically if they look.

True, but that doesn't mean you should participate.

I think there are two things here -- refusing to participate in bad behavior is about maintaining your own humanity and holding true to your own ethical code. That it may not correct the company's behavior is irrelevant to this. The point is to not let the company corrupt you.

The other thing is how to correct the behavior of misbehaving companies. This is what you're addressing, and I think your conclusion is largely correct.

These are not mutually exclusive. Both are very important.
