""AI"" conversations count for very little in the way of getting genuine understanding. The last two decades have made the intelligentsia of the planet brittle and myopic. The economy's been a dumpster fire, running on fumes with everyone addicted to glowing rectangles. If we put an entire generation in front of an """AI""" as pupils, it'll lead to even worse outcomes in the future.

I doubt the 2 Sigma effect applies to ""AI"".

The panic about this new tech is from how people that leveraged their intelligence now need to look at and understand the other side of the distribution.
That is incorrect. In fact it's exactly what the original poster was pointing out: it's filling in the answer based on the text that it's read before, where the goat wanted to eat the cabbage and the wolf wanted to eat the goat. That's not this problem! In GPT-4's answer, the vegan wolf eats the cabbage as soon as the man and goat are on the boat. That's exactly the point: it regurgitated its memorized answer, instead of actually analyzing the question.
You think they can't be competitive because there was some awful code that briefly made it into their development branch and was promptly caught before it could be released? I'd agree that there's room to improve the review process, but it's hard to be too critical of a process by citing a successful case of it working.
Most likely, it's not an issue:

It’s really amazing how there are some simple and readily available economic stats that will get you downvoted deep into a hole in the ground, and people will call you a literal nazi. Reddit is a special place.

They may not have had to hardwire anything for known gotcha questions, because once a question goes viral, the correct answer may well show up repeatedly in the training data.
Yeah, it's an unfortunate titling of the HN post. Defensive means something different in this context - it's meant for people working within the defensive roles of an organization's infosec department.

Kali are a little to blame here for that confusion as well - "We are making enterprise grade security accessible" - is open to misinterpretation of what they are presenting.

I remember as a young gamer, asking my Dad whether Nvidia or Intel was a bigger company. It seemed obvious to me, since people always bragged about their GPUs online, but never the CPU, that Nvidia is the more important company.

At that time, Nvidia was worth like 1% of Intel.

Today, regarding online discussions, nothing has changed. People still brag about GPUs, never the CPU. But now Nvidia is worth 5 times as much as Intel.

Violate this reasoning:

If we didn't have a use case for GPT 3, 3.5, and chatGPT that was sufficiently commercial to become a product, it will never happen. This technology is a feature, not a product. The only companies that successfully monetize features can be considered IP licensing houses; of which, their business success is not comparable to companies that make products and platforms.
A ruckus!
Seems like you're responding to a comment completely unrelated to mine...not sure what happened here. I never said otherwise.
<< I am appalled at the level of discourse I sometimes find on Hacker News about the (more recent) Russian invasion.

As a person of similar origin, I believe I am entitled to respond to this post.

Whatever you may think of the invasion ( I am not a fan of war myself ), the reasons for it are not exactly hidden anywhere. Orange Revolution removed Ukraine from Russia's sphere of influence by removing its puppet, which meant Russia lost control over its former satellite, which left Putin with few options. Now, use of force is kinda frowned upon these days, but it does not mean it does not happen and Ukraine is likely something that Putin was not willing to let go for one reason or another. I think you will agree that letting go of Crimea is almost as likely as letting go of Kaliningrad -- very unlikely unless basically forced to for strategic reasons.

<< What is this? Geopolitics amateur hour?

FWIW, HN seems more clearheaded about it than most forums on the net.
Because at the other end of this equation you would have companies like disney holding you at gunpoint for money if you ever spoke about mice.
I've always been a fan of how far they're willing to stretch the technically correct "Some customers are experiencing higher error rates" status.
Not around here, the "Ai will never replace artists" sentiment due to the failures with hands is much more frequent on Twitter among artists. Not that I disagree with their frustration, but the optimism that it will always be second best to pure human creativity seems like egoistic coping, which has been proven because looking at recent generations from Stable Diffusion, the hand issue is nearly solved.

I'm just extrapolating that kind of wishful thinking to anyone who thinks that AI will just be a tool for limited uses, always inferior to the less naïve human whose multi-modal efficiency could never be matched.

There's nothing against the laws of physics that prevent AI from becoming superhuman in all domains. There are people who nevertheless claim AGI is impossible because of handwavy reasons.
When Apple was having issues a few weeks ago, commenters seemed impressed and relieved that it was reported truthfully on their status page, including the honesty to mark services with red dots instead of the usual “Some users may experience degraded performance” codswallop https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34916962

Getting good reporting on down status is unfortunately the pointy end of Goodhart’s Law. No real way to guarantee good reporting will happen, even Apple’s status page would likely start lying if anything started materially depending on it.
People use technical jargon in all kinds of scenarios in which there's no plausible motive for obfuscation, use of jargon isn't evidence of deliberate obfuscation. In this particular case, "break their necks" sounds fairly humane while "cervical dislocation" sounds unpleasantly clinical, so I doubt this particular jargon is intended to obfuscate.

On the other hand, "put it to sleep" is definitely such an obfuscation.
> Although the question is: If ChatGPT can do almost anything GPT3.5 can do, then why is it priced almost 10x less?

ChatGPT is GPT-3.5; with specific fine tuning / chat-oriented training, and without customer fine-tuning (at least, currently) available. It’s the particular GPT-3.5 interface that OpenAI wants people to preferentially use, so the price structure artificially encourages this.
It's not clear to me how your argument would work for GPT-4 when it's clearly not reasonable for nukes.
>If ChatGPT can make subtle, rare errors

Yeah, I think the issues presented will relate to uniquely tricky errors, or entirely new categories of errors we have to understand the nature of. In addition to subtle and rare, I think elaborately hallucinated and justified errors, errors that become justified and reasoned for with increasing sophistication, is going to be a category of error we'll have to deal with. Consider the case of making fake but very plausible sounding citations to research papers, and how much further AI might be able to go to backfill in it's evidence and reasons.

Anyway, I just mean to suggest we will have to contend with a few new genres of errors
Ask it the other way around, "Why is the 8K context only twice as cheap as the 32K context?" and your original answer is clearer: because they think the demand curve supports it.

Price is not determined by cost, but by how much people are willing to pay.
Why can't calculators or WolframAlpha serve as a computational oracle for ChatGPT?

It would seem as simple as assigning probably 1 to certain recognizable queries. Maybe the difficulty is that the very problem of choosing to use a calculator entails a meta-cognitive rational decision, and it's not clear how to organize that in neural networks, which are what Turing himself called an unorganized model of computation.

OpenTable isn't Open Source. Open, as a word, has more than one context.
It's a bit gutsy to ask someone who casually drops a CDS valuation formula into a conversation to justify themselves against an Investopedia article, as if a retail-oriented content farm is the definitive resource on finance.

To answer your question, "idiosyncratic risk" in this context means that an individual company might have problems that don't broadly apply to the rest of its industry. For example Credit Suisse might have management that is bad at running a bank, leading to repeated investment losses and regulatory actions well beyond what's normal for big multinational banks.

Look at the CS balance sheets over the past few years, or its stock price and PE ratio, or hell just Google "Credit Suisse books loss" and look at how many times they tried to stick their fingers in the wrong cookie jar. They got hit by the Hwang thing, they got hit by Greensill, and apparently they can't even accurately report how much money they're making (losing).

I wouldn't want to have any position on their equity either.
I don't think Rainbow's End was supposed to be aspirational... it felt more dystopian than anything he's written, even the novels which are set (in whole or in part) in obviously/explicitly dystopian environments.
Yup, anyone asking questions to government is "causing ruckus" according to them. :(
If I were to speculate, OpenAI is doing two types of optimizations:

1) Cost

2) Function

I suspect ChatGPT is 90% a cost-optimized version of GPT3, and 10% a function-enhanced one.

GPT3 was the first major public wow-able model, and I suspect it was not running on any sort of optimized infrastructure.
wouldn't salting and hashing be enough for this use case if you keep the salt on the client?

For MQ-9, the $30 million is current unit costs. It has gotten more expensive
over time, the early ones were $18 million.

I found places that listed $30 to 47 million for Su-27. No sources or years for the estimate. But it is comparable to similar planes of same vintage. The latter is probably closer to current export price.
What?? This does not seem to match what I’ve heard from the government before.

What do they claim the median household income at?
> The subreddits for my local city are slowly turning into a weird BLM/Nextdoor hybrid though. Any mention of cops results in an endless parade of ACAB/bootlicker comments and most of the rest of the content is nitpicky complaints.

I would ask if we live in the same city, but I think this is every city subreddit now.

For me HN is more similar to one moderated sub on a reddit, not a reddit as whole.
You can find small moderated communities on a reddit where you can discuss any topics without "noise". Also you can find big popular communities similar in style to 4chan.
And honestly I see nothing wrong with it.

Thanks. Saved me a click.
> You know what I love as a user? When I have to wait for a network trip before the Button I clicked on does anything.

There is always so much cognitive dissonance for me when I read performance complaints like this from React/JS folks. They will complain that the user might have to wait 60-100ms extra for an interaction (not ideal at all granted), but totally ignore the 20 seconds spent waiting for megs of JS to download and execute for a new visitor or cache eviction (which happens all too often).
sometimes people want to get together and not be antagonized by contrarians and people looking for a fight on the internet. i get it, even if i think the results of something like conservative are overall negative. whats the alternative.

black people in the US have some kind of shared experience they want to discuss, conservatives maybe don't want to fight with everyone all the time. its not my place to invade then. if there are people who to engage online with multiple viewpoints there are plenty of places to do that.

i wish the city subreddits enforced residency requirement or something similar to post

And Pleroma is full of whatever the polar opposite of a tankie is (not going to use the "f" word but you know who I mean). It's not too surprising that the political allegiances of the core developers affect who is and isn't interested in joining the network.

It's not as grim as you're considering. One of the things you want is people who know what they're doing taking care of the animals in question.

When we're working with humans taking blood draws, we want trained phlebotomy technicians taking blood draws, not because we're monstrously detached from our subjects, but because our expertise is elsewhere (for example, antibody detection).

If you're working with research animals, you want their care (and yes, their deaths) done and supervised by someone who is an expert in that specifically.

Should researchers see the facilities their animals are housed in, and acknowledge the efforts of those workers? Absolutely. But that's hardly because scientists are uncaring - it's a result of things like the animal housing sites often being at the very periphery of campuses, and science generally having not done a good enough job acknowledging the efforts of technicians in all aspects of science, dating back decades.
I think anyone that pays $20/month for ChatGPT plus has immediate access? At least I already have access now. I’m assuming new subscribers get access too.
> One big difference in philosophy here is that tRPC is not designed to be used for cases where you have third party consumers. It's built for situations where you control both ends. (That said, you can use trpc-openapi for the endpoints that are public)

I'm a happy tRPC user, and this is my use case. Our web application has no client other than our web frontend. I can't see a situation when it would (and I would bet this is true for most web applications), so I am very happy with how tRPC has worked out.

I did recently create a more limited data API, and for that I used express-zod-api [0] which I like very much.
Uh, maybe just how I tell a story. Wasn't intentionally trying for any specific style.

No server-side check? Microsoft gets more amateurish by the hour.
To make the comment easier to read for others, it looks like the commenter may have made a slight typo and meant to write "hearing" instead of heading, to convey:

There is a difference with approaches like openapi/swagger/graphql though.

With Phero you define your models with plain TS. Our code-gen will "just" copy the exact same models to your client SDK. The DX is night and day.

We believe domain models are the most important part of your codebase. We don't like to define them in an intermediate language like graphql/swagger/graphql/you-name-it.

Because we support plain TS as "input" if you will, you can use all features and greatness TS comes with. Like generics, conditional types, mapped types, even template literal types!
I'm equally excited and terrified. Excited for the possibilities of a new technological revolution, but terrified for all potential abuses of technology the said revolution would bring.

For accessibility, it’s better to do this client side, so clients can adjust it themselves to be more contrasting or whatever.
Using gpt3, describe yourself in detail then end the prompt: "This is how marketers exploit me:"

or "this is how people exploit me:"

swap exploit with other things like 'flatter'.

I don't mind downvotes, but I'm extremely curious about why this particular comment got them. I was directly answering the OP's question with what I personally do. Is my practice something so absurd that it earned downvotes? If so, I need to know what's wrong with it so that I can consider alternatives.
Yea it kind of is! I've used EFS in real-world scenarios with more than 1,000 concurrent readers/writers. EFS's costs are just otherworldly compared to S3. If you need that interface though, it's a good (albeit expensive) choice.
I've had an excellent experience using the Rust NATS client!

I pump time series data through NATS running on a Raspberry Pi, which is part of a 3D printer monitoring and event/automation system. I also use NATS as an MQTT broker, for compatibility with other software in the 3D printer ecosystem.

FWIW I also have lots of experience running large Kafka and Rabbitmq fleets. The choice between these technologies depends on what you're optimizing for.

I'm using the same algorithm to color logs in ClickHouse:

Nevertheless, I enjoy the colors every time I launch clickhouse-server.
> that’s the kind of question you ask when you want to question the legitimacy of something, e.g. a vote

This and similar kinds of assumptions are why you have earned the label "bad-faith" in this thread. You have not honestly attempted to understand the thrust of the conversation, instead imposing some kind of victimization complex at the behest of "your vote" and in the process ruining any attempts at a meaningful exploration of the effects of propaganda on the governance of our society.

I am OP, and I stopped engaging because I have learned that when someone wants to push the conversation in ways that you have demonstrated above, there is no point in hoping they may then develop a more considerate approach.
This deserves top comment. :)
> Based on laboratory studies, Rutgers scientists say one of the most likely chemical candidates that kickstarted life was a simple peptide with two nickel atoms they are calling “Nickelback,” not because it has anything to do with the Canadian rock band, but because its backbone nitrogen atoms bond two critical nickel atoms. A peptide is a constituent of a protein made up of a few elemental building blocks known as amino acids.

Very doubtful this has anything to do with origins of life.

The complex catalyzes the production of dihydrogen from hydrogen cation. It's a cool reaction, but to say this may have "sparked life on earth" is way off.

Small peptide catalysts like this one have been known for some time and can even be designed for a wide range of reactions. A Nobel prize was awarded for this very field a few years back.
I have a counter-anecdote.

ChatGPT (just tested with GPT-4, not sure if this matters) had no issue with comparing two sex toys even though this might be in a grayer area in respect to their ToS. Bing (with SafeSearch off, obviously), on the other hand, met me with a brick wall, starting to generate text then abruptly replacing it with "I can't talk about this right now, ask something else" and refusing to clarify - even though if asked "are you OK to talk about sex-related topics?" it essentially says "sure, go on, what's your question?".

Unfortunately, ChatGPT doesn't have Internet access so it's pretty much useless if asked to find and summarize real user reviews. It only knows the basic facts, such as product specs.

Essentially, ChatGPT was trained to not reply to certain requests, while Bing AI was lobotomized and one of its hemispheres is happy to chat while another suddenly backpedals if it sees something it was told to avoid.
Alpaca is supposed to be roughly comparable to GPT-3.5, which means it is probably far worse than GPT-4.

I was lucky to pick up a second hand copy of Science and Sanity about 25 years ago at Powell's in Portland. sadly, it appears they are now only able to sell the "selections from".

the older editions are just beautiful in hardback.

amazon appears to have a single copy in stock as of this comment, but I'm afraid most people will end up having to do an "alternate library" search to get a pdf copy of this amazing book.
Note that tRPC also has an official NextJS starter kit that also bundles Prisma and Playwright, but not Tailwind or an auth plugin. I've used it, it worked well.

There are humans who can make a lifelong career out of saying and writing things that sound correct, but aren't correct. GPT-4 and beyond at the very least gives this ability to everyone who can afford 20 dollars a month. The winners in an AI dominated world are those who are least susceptible to manipulation by AI leveraged tactics.
This is a good point, IMO. A LLM is clearly not an AGI but along with other systems it might be capable of being part of an AGI. It's overhyped, for sure, but still incredibly useful and we would be unwise to assume that it won't become a lot more capable yet
So I dug around a little bit and figured I'd just ask.

As just some guy on the internet, can I buy one of these and write a hello world to have text show up in front of my eyes of my own choosing? Does it have an API or will it?
> I'm thinking about giving a try to RabbitMQ

We went the opposite route. Kafka has been much better. Up to a certain volume, both solved the problem. When RabbitMQ required too much tuning, a decision was made to go to Kafka, and it's been stellar.

Both are pretty good, but understand that there are too many variables involved and you can't really escape production hell indefinitely, regardless of what you pick. What changes is when you are going to see the flames, and what is going to spark them.
I only hear about NuScale doing anything new in this space. Is there anyone else or the US is entirely dependent on one "startup" for it's energy future?
