I had to read the email I got about this several times because it didn't seem to make sense. Hang on, my New York Times subscription is going to end in September and then... that's it? The Kindle is wonderful for reading newspapers on, and now - what? And why? I'm sure that someone has a very good reason for the change. I'm also sure that I've never seen a deprecation so poorly communicated.
point and shoot is almost certainly copyrighted. eyes closed might not be, (I kind of doubt there's case law here). the bar for originally is pretty low for copyright but it's not zero.
> government can't single out particular speech for consequences.

But that obviously isn't happening as you well know. What particular speech is being singled out against individuals here? "People said that" and so what?

The restriction is against a foreign state and agents under its control. It's hard to even argue a court in the US can hear the case given immunities the government enjoys in these situations.

The governments right to regulate commerce and foreign relations is in the same constitution that guarantees free speech.

Very obviously, no one's political views or speech are persecuted. A US citizen who loves the CCP can become the next owner of tiktok without any issue. What you and this retarded aclu are saying is that a foreign government's ability to conduct business is protected so long as that business allows people to say stuff (with heavy restrictions!)??? I can't believe people donate to this organization. Of all the civil liberities beinf eroded and all the people that can't afford a good lawyer these people choose to waste time and money defending a foreign government.
You're using the word "defect" to describe someone pulling their money from a bank? Seriously? It is so easy to assign blame apparently...
It only means less engineers than before. For a team of 10 engineers split with 5 juniors and 5 seniors, it will be just left with only 2 senior engineers.

Both of these level of engineers are affected.
Yeah, I find interesting there is corelation between US recognizing very common cases of "long COVID" as well as "ADHD", while in most of the world these two things are never heard of besides when they watch US movies, it's almost as if they are made up diseases/disorders.

Like yes to some extent there is a mild amount of generalization in that it is not literally regurgitating the internet and it to some extent mixes text really well but I don't think that's obviously the full on generalization of understanding that humans have.

These models obviously are more sample efficient at learning relationships than a literal lookup table but like I've already said: my example was obviously extreme for the purposes of illustration that sample efficiency does seem to matter. If you used 100^2 - 1 samples, I'm still not confident you truly understand the concept. However, if you use 5 samples: I'm pretty sure you've generalized so I was hoping to illustrate a gradient.

I want to reemphasize another portion of my comment: it really does seem that when you step outside of the domain of the internet, the error rates rise dramatically especially when there is completely no analogous situation. Furthermore, the further from the internet samples, the seemingly more likely the error which should not occur if it understood these concepts for the purposes of generalization. Do you have links to examples you'd be willing to discuss?

Many examples I see are directly one of the top results on Google. The more impressive ones mix multiple results with some coherency. Sometimes people ask for something novel but there's a weirdly close parallel on the internet.

For example, people thought Sumplete was a new game but it turned out to be derivative: https://www.neowin.net/news/chatgpt-made-a-browser-puzzle-ga...

I think this isn't as impressive at least towards generalization. It seems to stitch concepts pretty haphazardly like in the novel language above that doesn't seem to respect the description (after all, why use brackets in a supposedly indentation based language). However, many languages do use brackets. It seems to suggest it correlates probable answers rather than reasons.
It's hardware rich development.
Internalising the idea (not 'fact') that 'we're basically LLMs' will only take you to a place of deep sterility, delusion and nihilism.

It can be hard and is something you will have to learn to deal with on a personal level.

For example, going outside to get sun and physical exercise work fine for me 8 out of 10 times.

Other times, when the dread is related to an existential crisis about feeling that I'm not enough or that I will never succeed with my current startup, I stop, get some rest/sleep, go for a walk, watch motivational videos and talk to friends. Some times, all of this in sequence.

Big enough LLM models can have are emerging characteristics like long term planning or agentic behavior, while gpt4 don't have this behaviors right now, it is expected that bigger models will begin to show intent, self-preservation, and purpose.

The gpt4 paper have this paragraph "... Agentic in this context
does not intend to humanize language models or refer to sentience but rather refers to systems characterized by ability to, e.g., accomplish goals which may not have been concretely specified and which have not appeared in training; focus on achieving specific, quantifiable objectives; and do long-term planning. "
The token limit is the problem, in general token limits can’t be changed after the model has been trained. Gpt4 has an exceptionally large 32k token limit, but even with 32k tokens you’d only get a few weeks of chat before the context window was full.

Not to mention the added cost of using the full 32k tokens. OpenAI is charging $0.12 a token which would quickly add up. It’s prohibitively expensive unless you have a very very compelling business use case.

The irresponsible thing is making it so the tag exists, but the organization behind it cannot update it.

Let's take for example the "jenkins/jenkins:latest" image.

Jenkins is notorious for having security updates, so in 2 years, if the latest tag is still there and frozen, it will be an attractive nuisance, causing people to download insecure software...

That's what the parent comment is trying to say. It's irresponsible to leave the image that implies it's "up to date and secure" because it's "latest", but is really insecure, and the organization owning it cannot change anything about that without paying $$. It's basically holding users of the image hostage.
It's not the size of the GPT, but the magic in it that makes the difference....

Could be that while the number of parameters are not significantly more, they could be doing more computation per token.
In my experience most don't support Putin. But most people didn't have option to just throw everything and leave the country: they had jobs, mortrages, kids, old parents etc.
Because of this only 1/4 of all emigrants left Russia in March 2022 (because they were young, didn't have any liabilities and people who depend on them), and other 3/4 had their lives to be threatened to risk everything else.
They had different circumstances but almost all of them are middle class members who are culturally rich enough, have some savings and demanded skills to live and work in other countries with other culture.

For average Putin supporter it's almost impossible to do this trick: they have no savings (most have mortrage which makes thing even more complicated for them even if it's low 7-8% annual rate one), no cultural flexibility (so they know that they gonna be even more atomized than is Russia) and no internationally demanded job (remember, nobody will give russian emigrants any welfare support).

Some Putin supporters tried to leave Russia when draft began, but most quickly returned back. There are some who managed to stay abroad after leaving country in 2022 but they are so rare that any vocal support of Putin from russian emigrant becomes news.
Most of people with russian roots who support Putin are actually those who left Russia long before 2022 (not all of them of course). We even had jokes about how common it is when russian leaves Russia because of everything bad that government does there and after year or two becomes russian government supporter.

Mine does. Usually the highest interest rate checking accounts have requirements such as direct deposits and/or linked credit/debit card transactions. But, even the big banks in the US pay more than zero (very slightly more like 0.01-0.05%).

That was fascinating. Thanks for sharing it.
De facto term limits is a big benefit in itself, in my opinion. But also, we know that we haven’t solved the problems of aging, and old people as a class suffer from distinct cognitive problems. If it’s reasonable to ban people under 35, or under 21, from the presidency, it’s reasonable to ban people over 65 as well.
As far as I understand it, "everybody" was manipulated into thinking it is around the corner by media babbling about the new exciting developments from high profile companies like Google. It rememeber that time quite vividly. It was around 2014, when my not-so-tech-informed friends started to tell me that in a few years, I will be able to own a self-driving car, me being blind and all that. I was telling everyone that they have been over-stimulated by media, and they mostly didn't want to believe me, because, you know, it is so much easier to believe the latest hype...

And now, roughly 10 years later, there is no real self-driving car in sight, which is a good thing IMO.

To me, it looked like Google and other SV companies were using the media to hype up the self-driving car thing to get VC money for these projects, which are obviously long term, that is where we agree....
Which is just cosmetic. You can then cosmetically whiten them back again if you want.

They lost $12 billion on an interest rate bet. The fact they didn't need to mark it to market under an accounting rule didn't mean people ignored it. It was a giant, known problem. It's why they were out trying to raise capital.
It was a question from Triplebyte's old FastTrack interviews, back when we did a more active high-touch placement model. The gist of the question was "you're setting up a site that sells used cars, and you have information like make, model, milage, etc. for each car that you want to search by, how do you go about setting up your architecture?" Good candidates would ask about things like scale, or note that this system probably doesn't need to be ultra-reliable, or ask about the kind of constraints they can assume on the car data. Things that showed they understood the relevant tradeoffs and could apply them to the specifics of the situation.

Once they gave a basic architecture, we'd make some tweaks like scaling or adding other complications and ask how they'd modify that architecture to fit.
For normal people (non-programmers) computers are pretty terrible. I'm kind of curious what happens when everyone gets a Jarvis-like assistant that can do the scary stuff (open a terminal, type some commands, or possibly code up a nice UI in seconds) based on natural language requests.

Elon Musk’s cost-cutting drive at Twitter

Right. Is why I offer no defense of games as a whole. But "prestige" of either is good. And probably is more sophisticated than the norm of the other.

That said, I offered charity to the idea. Breaking Bad is entertaining. Is it mentally stimulating, though? Tetris is probably as mentally challenging. More, in many ways.

That said, even with that charity to the idea, I think it is misguided. Mentally stimulating can just be addicting with no growth.

And then further, I think the idea that you need growth is misguided. Being entertained is fine.
I'm sure there will be a number of ramifications but one I know of is for those who sell specific captures of guitar amps that were created through machine learning just lost their copyright on that product. Those works could not have existed without the AI that was used to create them.
To my mind a significant part of the value proposition for the Kindle edition is you don't have to do anything and it just gets delivered to the device.

Also people who bought house borrowing money from friend on promising to return it whenever asked for. This is what SVB did.
Correct. The law requires it to be “fixed in any tangible medium.” Such as transcribing onto paper, recording onto record, exposed onto film, etc. Merely thinking, saying, playing, singing, dancing, etc a newly created concept is too ephemeral to be a recognizable act of authorship.
Reimplementing would also help with training data, it's a way of extracting the idea without copying the original form. Works even better on images with variations, you generate the style from image A with content composition from image B, thus extracting the style without the exact expression.
love it! that’s very impressive
I saw the movie you're talking about. It was called WarGames and came out in 1983.

But forty years later, killer drones are all over the place.

"imagine some worst case scenarios that end in global thermonuclear war"

Ok, sure, I can't really imagine it but I can't rule it out.

What I can't imagine is somehow everybody waits around for it and doesn't use similar AI for immediate needs in ongoing wars like in Ukraine.

And I can't really imagine AI that launches all the nuclear missiles causing global thermonuclear war, purely in a semantic sense, because whoever set up that situation would've launched them anyway without the AI.
You know why Visual Basic was the best programming language ever made? Because it wasn't a programming language.

Nerds just can't wrap their heads around this idea: no normal person wants to be a programmer. But they do want to make little custom things to help them get stuff done in life. Just like nobody wants to be a plumber, but they do want to be able to fix their faucet.
It's somewhat disheartening to see that OpenAI believes the implementation of "content filters" is necessary in the first place. I can understand having such filters in place for children, but are they really necessary for adults? Providing an unfiltered version of the API for developers, at the very least, would be nice.
Depends what country. In Australia I’ve not seen anyone ever put sugar in coffee. I’d say the vast majority order a flat white which is an espresso with foamed milk, no added sugar, and the rest get “an espresso” which is just a raw shot with nothing added.
> HOC's have a bunch of downsides, imo the most obvious one is the props; you need to pass the previous props, and merge in the new ones.

Render props (aka. "function as children") are much more free form than HOCs - they allow you to "compose the props" at the site of usage, as opposed to the component implementation.

I don't think there is a use case that HOC covers that cannot be done with render props - please correct me if I'm wrong.
I must have missed that, me not being a company and all that.

All I remember was a lot of glass hype, followed by the message that Google has actually stopped selling glass for "normal" customers...

So at least in my world, the pattern still fits.

Presumably the judge wouldn't want either agreement to be violated, so would go with the third option, which hopefully satisfies both agreements at the same time; the Nintendo store gets to take down the ported old games from Atari.

I've had to write my own `useCallbackOne()` hook that is guaranteed to not be recomputed if it's dependencies don't change.

export function useMemoOne<T>(valueProducer: () => T, deps: unknown[]) {
const [initialValue] = useState(valueProducer);
const memoizedValue = useRef(initialValue);
const memoizedDeps = useRef(deps);
if (
deps.length != memoizedDeps.current!.length ||
_.zip(deps, memoizedDeps.current!).some(
([dep, memoizedDep]) => dep != memoizedDep
)
) {
memoizedValue.current = valueProducer();
memoizedDeps.current = deps;
}
return memoizedValue.current;
}

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
export function useCallbackOne<T extends (...args: any[]) => unknown>(
fn: T,
deps: unknown[]
) {
return useMemoOne(() => fn, deps);
}

FWIW, for this and other reasons, I've recently been looking into "actually reactive" frameworks (like Solid/Svelte), and I think I vastly prefer their paradigm to react's.

Specifically, I used sycamore-rs to build a Rust/WASM UI, and it's great (once you get the hang of dealing with lifetimes in sycamore).

You say
> it's intentions based on its training are to accurately predict the next character.

then you say:
> these agents do have desires that are analogous to our own

I think its very in-human to have a single desire which is to predict the next character. That is not analogous to our desires.

And the intention to predict the next character is not the intention of the chatbot, it is the intention of whoever created the chatbot or whoever is using it for that purpose.

AI is a tool created by humans to fulfill the intentions of those humans.

Is it the intention of a gun to kill people? No, it is the intention of whichever human who uses a gun for such a purpose. Is it the intention of AI to predict the next character? No that is the intention of the human who uses AI for such a purpose.
