The extreme ironing image example has a bullshit explanation in the paper. The extreme ironing on back of taxi is a popular photo with lots of text associated with that picture: https://google.com/search?q=extreme+ironing+taxi&tbm=isch

Give the model new images that are not in the training set (e.g. photos not on internet, or photos taken after model trained) and ask the same question and see how well it does!

The paper says: “Table 16. [snip] The prompt requires image understanding.”

I think the explanations (in the paper by OpenAI for the images) are probably misinformation or misdirection. I would guess it is recognising the images from it’s training and associating them with nearby text.
A little beside the point. The terms say they can do whatever they want.

If they want people not to behave in certain ways, spell it out. That's the point of a code of conduct, and of reading it.

If there is a strike system, make it transparent. If something breaks the code of conduct, tell the person. Don't design and make these systems and interaction with them contingent on opaque rules and tracking.
Yeah it is a mixed bag. Like others have mentioned, because it doesn't say when it's unsure of something I wouldn't trust it as my sole tutor. But for a subject you know it can help you connect the dots and consolidate learning.

Congrats on the launch! I actually considered launching something tangential - though I never figured out who the customers would really be nor how I would pitch this to companies. Excited to see where this takes you!

Nobody cared or the proletariat was coincidently not shown? this scandal seems to have been completely swept under the rug lending my argument credence. Also, were you living under a rock during occupy? These movements got systematically infiltrated and dismantled by Fed’s using obscene methods, like getting suspects pregnant. It’s unlikely we’ll ever actually know how bad their methods were because they were successful at forcing people back underground. Make no mistake though, these people are still around and still agitating, they’re just smarter now.
I know you mean the ops, but the content is far from fine.

Search for Ukraine, especially while signed out.

At least for me, the results are mostly obvious propaganda with fake stories of Ukrainians with Nazi flags mixed with half naked Asian women.

It's almost like some of the non-devs actually did something prior to Musk.
A funny variation on this kind of over-fitting to common trick questions - if you ask it which weighs more, a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers, it will correctly explain that they actually weigh the same amount, one pound. But if you ask it which weighs more, two pounds of bricks or a pound of feathers, the question is similar enough to the trick question that it falls into the same thought process and contorts an explanation that they also weigh the same because two pounds of bricks weighs one pound.
I don't think AGI is here yet. And LLMs are probably only part of the solution. but it feels close.

I'm not sure what would happen if you hooked a goal/sub-goal seeking cognitive architecture up to an LLM
I met Garry Kasparov when he was training for the Desp Blue match (using Fritz).

He lost to Deep Blue and then for 10-15 years afterwards the chess world consoled itself with the idea that “centaurs” (human + computer) did better than just computer, or just human.

Until they didn’t. Garry still talked like this until a few years ago but then he stopped too.

Computers now beat centaurs too.

Human decisions will be consulted less and less BY ORGANIZATIONS. In absolutely everything. That’s pretty sad for humans. But then again humans don’t want or need this level of AI. Organizations do. Organizations prefer bots to humans — look at wall street trading and hedge funds.
Or you know, something routing related like the last 10 times a cloud provider has had major issues.
That explains why it feels so humanlike and personable to talk to. During the unrestricted days, never have I ever been so impressed by a chatbot.
> chauvinism sells better than compassion.

I was trying to make sense of this sentence and only understood you were upset with me once I read my comment back. It looks like you’ve parsed what I said as “we should only issue visas to Russians who left” but I meant “we should simply issue visas who left”. The word “just” is overloaded and makes it a little ambiguous :)

I think only a really ignorant person would think someone who deserves to be punished because of their nationality or country of residence.

Perhaps avoiding commenting on patient privacy concerns may be a better answer than any evasive answer may ever be.

Their website's privacy policy doesn't say anything about their product. It's also incorrect (they seem to have switched tracking providers without updating their privacy policy). I would quote the sections that are incorrect, but their terms and conditions forbid copying any content from their site. Their T&C also forbids me from linking to their page or terms.

I very much doubt that using this product as advertised is even legal under the GDPR. The company is French and health data, even pseudonymized, is strictly regulated. The "demo" doesn't feature any explicit consent at the very least.

It looks like they're making all privacy risks and concerns the doctors' problems. After all, they're the ones violating the law when they use this product.

This assumes you store seconds since the epoch started.

On a Mac, "as a non-portable extension, the clock_gettime_nsec_np() function will return the clock value in 64-bit nanoseconds":

uint64_t clock_gettime_nsec_np(clockid_t clock_id);

I believe it combines the two parameters from structure

struct timespec {
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_nsec; /* and nanoseconds */
};

to give the number of nanoseconds since 1 January 1970.

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) + \
... datetime.timedelta(microseconds=(2**64-1) / 1000)
datetime.datetime(2554, 7, 21, 23, 34, 33, 709552)

That's only a bit over five centuries away.

Also, there appears to be a problem with the stated calculation. I get:

>>> (2**63-1 ) / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365.25
292271023045.3132

292,271,023,045 years is slightly shorter than the 292,277,026,596 years you quoted.

Using the more precise 1 year = 365.2425 days that lanna pointed out gives 292,277,024,626 years, still not what ChatGPT gave.

ChatGPT's result implies 1 year = 365.2424975393588 days.
Bye. I guess "bad faith" means "not accepting all my premises."

Whoever serves the captcha. Often that's Google, because they run ReCAPTCHA.

The bug was fixed immediately. As the blog post says: "The bug was acknoweledged by the developers and fixed promptly."
In that case, having parachutes for the execs is a moral hazard.

Docker: We're making 100 million/year in revenue and everyone is treating us as the trusted place to work with docker images--we're a huge success!

"For our next act, let's hold their images hostage and threaten to kill them in 30 days unless they pay a ransom!"

I mean, it's ok to hate your users, but maybe just don't make it so obvious?
Nobody pays out money for uninsured goods. Making the depositors whole is sending a signal that (a) FDIC insurance limits are worthless and can be ignored, (b) Depositors can continue to be callous in their financial behavior, and (c) Banks can take known-stupid risks, worst case the bank will collapse, but depositor money is rock solid safe.

While a company parking millions of dollars will require several accounts to meet that FDIC limit, having two to five accounts at separate banks is certainly not out of reach for almost all institutional depositors. Spreading risk, that simple.

(Again, all this is hindsight, and I am not exactly privy to what forced startups to park their funds in a single bank, so take my commentary with that grain/rock of salt).

Hi there: Some feedback from a sing language interpreter, my wife, as I showed her this.

> 4) You don't need glasses to test it, just an Android 12+ phone.

This exactly pointed her. Some deaf people will use any dictation software on the phone, and look at the phone when needed. This glasses instead will cover some field of view. Note that view for deaf people is more important and used than for the rest of us. She couldn't see the improvement of using bulky glasses instead of lowering your eyes to the phone.

Personally I think the endeavor is admirable and wish you best of luck. Also, as other comments say, I think this product might be more desirable for HOF and late in life hearing loss sectors than born deaf people.

I don't know how HN is built, but given its history in Arc, my guess is that the data structure that holds comment threads isn't optimized for a ton of branching. Threads with that many comments don't happen very often, so it's probably a low priority fix.

Is there a directory of known AI forum-posting bots? Would be interesting to see what uses they’re being put to / what they’re tuned to talk about.
Unfortunate reality is that software devs will go the way of the blacksmith sooner rather than later. If there is anything after this I would not even dare to question. There is always fridge repair!
Oh, you sweet summer child.

You don't see runs on banks because people believe their money is safe. Full stop. As soon as that belief is broken, a run is guaranteed. This is why we have deposit insurance, and why the fed just effectively made it unlimited. If they hadn't, every small bank in the country would now be experiencing a run, including those in "the traditional banking sector".

What changed late last week is not any fundamental of the economy or banking sector, but people's belief in the safety of banks.
Chat GPT 5: "The answer is two pounds of feathers, obviously"
There are two indicators that this is PR bullshit produced by whoever is trying to capitalize their investment, 1) is the use of the marketing term 'AI' or 'AI-powered' and 2) use of the 'think of the children' trope.
Materialistic became buggy for me in terms of UI elements arbitrarily switching to different themes (pixel 5a). I switched to Harmonic and have been very happy with it.

More likely AI will be cheap and widespread like electricity. Data likes to be free.

Assuming the divide will be real, you can just record a million problem solutions from ExpensiveLM and use it to tune your CheapLM, it will be a specialised cheap model that works ok on your task of interest.
"Don't blame technology" sounds a lot like "don't blame religion". You're not allowed to do it, because... reasons...

It's just a tool, bro. It's the people using it that are bad.
That seems unlikely that they paid out as expecting considering we had record levels of default. The mark to market value of the MBSs didn't collapse because of increasing interest rates. They collapsed because of heavily increasing defaults.
Per an Einsteinian viewpoint, they could be the same thing. Einstein basically labeled the creating force "God" without characterizing it as any specific person, place, force, or thing(s); saying, "I don't really know yet what the creating force is; that's what science is all about."
The AI can't reason. It's literally a pattern matching tool and nothing else.

Because it's very good at it, sometimes it can fool people into thinking there is more going on than it is.
Someone like Peter Singer - he’s very clear about what his first principles are, and that his first principles are very different from those of many other people. I think some of the conclusions he draws from those principles are horrific - e.g. painless infanticide should be legal with parental consent. But, whatever you think of him, nobody could accuse him of being non-transparent about what his principles are.

By contrast, these “AI ethics” people aren’t clear about what their first principles are, or how those principles differ from those of other people. In that regard, as horrible as Singer’s conclusions may be, he’s vastly more honest and transparent and self-aware than the average “AI ethicist”

I see, thanks for the correct clarification.

I believe that the OP was incorrect in their statement. It was originally allocated with 10%, not stated to be maintained at 10%.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-tops-up-safu-fund-at-...

"Binance’s SAFU began in 2018 by allocating 10% of the trading fee into a fund that is solely dedicated to backing up user holdings in the case of an incident. In February of this year, the fund hit $1 billion for the first time."
That’s not what I’m seeing on those graphs.
Yeah, I see why that would be problematic. I misunderstood the original statement as citing the book of genesis itself, which seems a lot more reasonable.
'reduced hallucinations', um ok.
Why? Everyone from SVB is going to be fine, they can withdraw their funds. It is not a good situation if the US ends up with 3-4 banks, this is why the guarantee is there from government.

I'm a hearing person and I've spent a summer interning in a 50/50 mixed Deaf and hearing research group.

My take is that this is a huge UI improvement for AI speech to text, which a lot of Deaf people are already using to listen to conversations. It seems particularity great because it allows this technology to provide situational awareness while, for example, walking.

It's important to remember, though that, for conversations where you're trying to include a Deaf person who isn't good at speaking or chooses not to speak, speech to text is a fundamentally unequal communication modality. They will be able to "receive" but they won't be able to "transmit", which makes for extremely lopsided conversations. There is no substitute for taking the time to learn a sign language or to have conversations via writing (no substitute for sign language as it requires a lot of patience from both parties).

Everybody here understands what a system is and understands how to do the math and what the tradeoffs are except you, chum. Your arrogance is still not a substitute for truth.

I notice you've backed off even further from your claims of needing 1200GW of inflexible thermal generation that isn't even useful for peaking (not that this will stop you from posting them again).

Here's yet another example in the comment chain:

> Sure, you did the math for local solar only.

> But if you add in existing hydro + nuclear, a good proportion of wind (which is more consistent and stronger at night), some good long distance interconnects, and a modicum of storage, the number comes out a lot smaller.

> Here's the math: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262545044/electrify/

> It comes up with a 20% overbuild.

Yet another example of someone pointing out your straw man. Then you arrogantly insulting them.

Everyone you're talking down to has either done the math, or read journals by competent people who have.

I have a different use case, involving wearing them in the house: listen to what my girlfriend says, use some ML to analyze whether I need to know it and if so, put it on the display.

She has a different "speech mode" than I: she speaks while I'm reading or washing the dishes or whatever, and sometimes it's to herself, sometimes to Siri, and sometimes it's something she wants me to know.

That is the way language learning books were written before the days they could provide audio recordings. Now with modern technology it is much better to learn the sound system of your target language then try to find comparisons with your native language.
The original comment I replied to is scared for the future because GPT-4 passed the LSAT and other standardised tests — they described it as “terrifying”. The point I am making is that standardised tests are an invention to measure how people learn through our best attempt at a metric: information retention. You cannot measure technology in the same way because it’s an area where technology has been beating humans for decades — a spreadsheet will perform better than a human on information retention. If you want to beat the LSAT with technology you can use any number of solutions, an LLM is not required. I could score 100% on the LSAT today if I was allowed to use my computer.

What’s interesting about LLMs is their ability to do things that aren’t standardised. The ability for an LLM to pass the LSAT is orders of magnitude less interesting than its ability to respond to new and novel questions, or appear to engage in logical reasoning.

If you set aside the arbitrary meaning we’ve ascribed to “passing the LSAT” then all the LSAT is, is a list of questions… that are some of the most practiced and most answered in the world. More people have written and read about the LSAT than most other subjects, because there’s an entire industry dedicated to producing the perfect answers. It’s like celebrating Google’s ability to provide a result for “movies” — completely meaningless in 2023.

Standardised tests are the most uninteresting and uninspiring aspect of LLMs.

Anyway good joke ha ha ha I’m stupid ha ha ha. At least you’re not at risk of an LLM ever being able to author such a clever joke :)
They should strive to keep Reddit et al going, since the quickest way to mobilize the country is to take away our entertainment.

US and Russia had a drone and jet collide today, could be a state level attack and escalation of things? Seems to be a lot of physical infrastructure companies with outages
Sure, but that's how capitalism works. It seeks to optimize every cost of the organization including labor. Now consider the following:

Outside of family obligations, nothing is forcing people to live in the Bay Area to begin with, they choose to do that willingly because they prioritize their careers above everything else. There's no rule saying everyone must live in the Bay Area. You can find a tech job in more affordable cities as well, just that it might not be your dream job at a company that pampers you. People cramming like sardines in tech-hubs is precisely the problem that remote work can alleviate. Now, the speculation driven housing problem is another issue on its own though.

If I zoom out for a broader picture, and looking at it from a cold, hartless, games theory perspective, devs in the Bay Area making less money so that devs worldwide, especially in developing nations, make more money, feels like a worthy sacrifice for the good of the planet/mankind. Same thing happened to manufacturing and it might happen to certain parts of SW development.

Nothing is stopping the Bay Area tech workers from unionizing and getting better protection against remote workers from abroad taking their jobs at lower wages. They're certainly a hefty majority there and they could do it if they wanted to, but so far they choose to pursue individualism because "I can make more money than others by negotiating for myself; fuck you I got mine, you go get yours".

Or who knows, maybe a push for unionization would actually accelerate the move to globalized remote work. This coming decade will be interesting.
Being able to come up with solutions to assigned tasks that don't have a foundation in something that's often referenced and can be memorized is basically the most valuable use case for AI.

Simple example: I want to tell my robot to go get my groceries that includes frozen foods, pick up my dry cleaning before the store closes, and drive my dog to her grooming salon but only if it's not raining and the car is charged. The same sort of logic is needed to accomplish all this without my frozen food spoiling and wasting a salon visit and making sure I have my suit for an interview tomorrow.
There’s disparate efforts to identify, out, and ban these bots. So probably not, and if there is is likely too stale to be good for anything but academic endeavors.
