Trending topics have shifted. Allegedly they removed some manually-curated trending system that was previously in place, which may have been a system that worked well for some demographics but wasn't working great for Japan.
Especially when the system we're discussing is literally the most advanced AI model we're aware of.
Let's invent a better test then. What could be an example task that isn't widely available on the internet already? I'm having a hard time coming up with anything that isn't reproduced in many places.
> But if you give it a different task, you can see reasoning in action. For example, have it play guess-the-animal game with you while telling it to "think out loud".

I'm not sure if you put "think out loud" in quotes to show literally what you told it to do or because telling the LLM to do that is figurative speech (because it can't actually think). Your talk about 'reasoning in action' indicates it was probably not the latter, but that is how I would use quotes in this context. The LLM can not 'think out loud' because it cannot actually think. It can only generate text that mimics the process of humans 'thinking out loud'.
I'm sorry but am I the only one experiencing time dilation? You can't say '
X was supposed to be a big deal but was not' when the number of months since X began is single-digit.

Come back in ten years and tell me that there was no threat.

Also, for anyone living under a rock, the 'AI art style' --- by which you probably mean MidJourney 3 style --- has been steadily disappearing across MJ 4 and 5.

So, yes, actually, artists may now be 'obsolete', at least in the sense of 'viable form of capitalism for an adult North American to pursue as a profession'.

Circumstances for artists were already the worst they'd ever been, in real terms, even before this. Going forward, 'graphic designer', like 'music engineer', is going to be five people with real talent and 20,000 cool kids with trust funds. Everyone else fights for a job at Wal-Mart.

Best queue for your shift, the pinnies that fit well always get grabbed first
The problem is and always been how do you describe what you want the computer to do to the computer. This is where this will see some traction as a tool that helps developers do this faster, but my bet is that these sorts of systems will still work a lot better using an artificial language to state the requirements and these advances will be integrated into our languages and compilers.
Pretext: My wife is a psychiatrist. Via her, I'm am close friends with many doctors. Also, I know it's super easy to be critical, but I'm going to save you an insane amount of effort and heartache.

This is actually a solved problem in medicine, already. Maybe not solved, but absolutely "good enough". M-Modal, Dragon, and Telephone services (yes, call someone and have them translate) all exist. They all translate notes well enough. For most doctors, it's a huge improvement over typing.

The problem is primarily access. Most institutions simply do not want to pay for this. They don't view it as necessary. Further complicating the issue. Unless a physician is in private practice, they have little to no control over their ability to use a tool like this. HIPAA is far too high of a barrier.

You're trying to implement a technical solution to what's ultimately a politics/human problem.

----

I've spent a bunch of time in the space, both as a MedSpouse and the CTO of a HealthTech company. I wish you the best of luck as I'd love to see life be easier for my wife, but this is _extremely_ far from being MVP viable.

* HIPAA - You absolutely, 100%, without a doubt need to be HIPAA compliant. You likely want to be HITRUST compliant as well. You're very, very clearly a Business Associate (HIPAA term) and processing PHI. Without that, you're dead in the water.

* Chrome extension - This is not going to cut it. At baseline, it requires copy and pasting between Chrome and the EHR system. Bad UX.

* More tactically, most EHR access occurs via remote access, like Citrix. Often from a thin-terminal on the hospital floor or at a med station. These are locked down environments that have a high likely hood of not having Chrome installed _and_ not being allow to install _any_ software (including Chrome extensions).

* Doctors need real-time feedback and the ability to correct. Real-time feedback is critical because carrying a patient takes mental load. Part of the purpose of notes is to create a written record that "closes" a patient for the time being. An async service isn't really helpful since it generates an interrupt after the physician has already moved on.

* Accuracy is important. Accuracy is even more important with _extremely_ similar and _extremely_ uncommon words. For example, can this system differential between prednisone and prednilisone? In fact, can it even identify those words? Can it do it with an accent?

* FHIR is only as much of a standard as tables are to relational databases. The hard part is the thousands of custom fields that are different between health systems.

* Structured data really isn't used or useful in medicine. You might have a medication list that can be structured as data, but actual notes include a lot of prose. I believe part of this is necessary to capture the nuance/minutiae of some healthcare. Part of it stems from the lack of any standard.

* Again, this is all possible already. Tele-notes have been done since the introduction of EHR systems.

* Nobody is going to use a Chrome extension.

I'd love to switch from programming to janitor if I could keep my salary.
Objectively correct in the sense that we need 2+2 to equal 4 and we don't care how you got there kind of objectively correct.

Whereas an artist might need 2+2 to equal apple, and we can only subjectively solve for why or how.
You feed it design specifications as input, the same way that a human SDET would do it. The challenge, as always, is to have well-written specification docs.
I think it's a result of the industry being on a downswing, and a lot of unemployed engineers, who have recently seen rank and file getting laid off while execs get bonuses.

People are very bitter about comp right now, so it's spilling over into this discussion.
But is 120k at least somewhat comfortable for a single person? These different levels you described really hit different as you age. Yeah I could be ramen level but if the option is to not be ramen level at 120k elsewhere then moving to LA is not worth it but if there is a minimum level of comfort then other things make it worth making the move.
You could replace 75% of them with a rubber duck. Soon you might replace 22.5% of them with GPT.
No, the 'admins' are people who work for reddit. 'Mods' are people who volunteer to work for reddit (the 'despots'). By the way, you should try modding a moderately large sub and see what you have to deal with. It is always easy to criticize until you are one having to do the work.
I’m a few weeks away from finishing a Probability and Statistics course (on Unit 4). It has been time consuming and difficult, but extremely rewarding.

I just gave a little to the OCW Challenge.

I didn't see any pricing information while logged out either, but as soon as I clicked the free trial button and then logged in, the next page that appeared was pricing. It's $12.99/month for an individual plan billed monthly, $6.99/month for an individual plan billed annually, and $9.99/month for a family plan (2-6 members) billed annually. I’m in California in case that matters.
Nah I’m good
If someone is among the few select people that the POTUS consults in the hours during which a crucial, urgent decision is made, I would say that person has more power than most people on Earth. Biden certainly didn't call me and ask my opinion. Hence, I consider the notion bizarre that Newsom had little or no power in this case. We obviously have very different perceptions of the situation.

I'm still unclear about what you think the news media ought to be doing. I get the feeling from several comments on this submission that the media should have just censored stories and facts that are potentially embarrassing to the Governor?

Or let me put it another way: if this is no big deal, a nothing burger as it were, then why do you object to the publication of the article? Not every story needs to be Watergate.
Feel free to email us, and we can make something work!
But they still didn't publish it into the _public_, like a public download link on their GitHub repo, so it's still a leak.
You miss the point, and your aggressive tone is not conducive to civil discussion. As you say, any language can use a system of writing, so if one doesn't, it's not because its users can't write, but because they don't want to write. Writing is literal stone-age technology, after all.
OP here. We're hiring! We're an early-stage startup, with funding from OpenAI, building the next-generation AI code editor. If you're the best hacker or designer ever, reach out to me at sualeh@anysphere.co. The problems we work on are really fun (extremely fast context retrieval from across big codebases, connecting language servers to language models, instruction-tuned embedddings) and we think the potential of what we're building is enormous (make all software engineers literally 10x more productive).
I don't really know what you're getting at. My point is that DALL-E/Stable Diffusion hasn't cut into the market for actual paid artists. Like, at all. Unlike what the doomsayers predicted. Software developers should feel equally as threatened, which is to say, not at all.
pretty obvious...Oxide can't offer scheduled RSUs...
Ask HN: GPT-4 still has a 4K token limit on ChatGPT Plus?
Seems like the limit is still there? It also gets dumber once you exceed that number using multiple messages.

Do you also experience this?

> The message you submitted was too long, please reload the conversation and submit something shorter.
It's much too soon to say, no? AI art is going to keep getting better quickly, and DALLE-2 only came out six months ago.
This is all what has happened already. None of this is the next big enshitten.

1. Tesla: I have been following Tesla since like forever and lost a lot of my 2017 to following it on the short side (despite never shorting it nor anything else in my life). You say this Self driving might catch up to them...I say never bet against Teflon Elon just like you don't bet against Teflon Don. He will find a way to escape whatever mess he gets into and is probably thinking three steps ahead. He has been doing it for 10+ years now. No reason this is the year he falters just like no reason this is finally the year of Linux(spoiler: its not).

2. Web3: we have seen this coming for a while now. Jury is still out on crypto in my opinion. We may have just experienced the "Web 1.0 crash" of crypto

3. Wow I actually remember that article. In fact its date is making me wish I could go back to late 2021. Its crazy for me to realize how every year that passes I wish I could have gone back to that year rather than being here right now. I guess this might be the next enshitten given how people are freaking out about ChatGPT4 on the front page right now. I guess you get this one but it was a lucky guess! :)
Do you realize that “learn to lip read” isn’t feasible for a lot of people? That’s great that lip reading worked for the one Deaf person you know. But Deaf people, like the population at large, are all different people. It’s cruel and ridiculous to suggest all Deaf people should just learn to lip read.

I tried to explain the cruel history behind your callous remark.

I tried to give you an opportunity to empathize with how a Deaf might feel.

I tried to offer some perspective as to why the views you’ve expressed are narrow-minded.

I tried to educate you.

But you’re just here to argue. You don’t want to put in the effort so it’s the Deaf community’s fault they can’t effectively communicate with you and people like you? Spanish is easy enough to learn for your trip but ASL is too difficult to learn? You know one person who lip reads so everyone must be able to?

You’re not even willing to consider for a moment that your gut-opinion or the second-hand experience of the ONE person you know might not be universal. I don’t have anything else to say to you except that I hope you take a few minutes to read about ASL and Deaf culture and history and take a few minutes to reflect.
This will create more demand for our field, not less. Increasing the power of programmers unlocks so much more potential.
I mean people forget that this is just a tool that makes a noisy compression of large data sets. It can be used to generate data that would be repetitive and tiresome to generate yourself and you still need at least one pair of eyes to discern it.

What goes in needs to be curated and what goes out too. It's getting more precise and varied in what it can do, but it's still a tool.
Apparently these securities are long-ish dated bonds, currently under water because of interest rates going up. Only big institutions can afford to wait for interest rates to go down and price to go back up again (and judging by how inverted the yield curve is, rates will go down in a few years).

A few years from now current buyers may even make money on these. I was thinking the Treasury will take over the bonds - they certainly have the capability to wait a few years.
Great! They can leave it there as far as I'm concerned.
I find it really amusing that everyone seems to just find it normal, okay, chill, that our banking infra is based on semi-blind confidence and people not expressing concerns or warnings, or you know taking their own money out of the bank.

Hour by hour I am in horror at the standard of "normal" that people will defend because they can't see it for what it is or imagine an alternative. Capital capital jobs jobs! Hoorah! This is the way.
Are those same people also going to stop speaking in public? Throughout human history, anyone can profit off of hearing something you said in public. You should be fearful of a timeline where people are compensated for whatever they post on the internet. I shudder to think what those discussions would look like
"HIPAA-eligible" means they have no idea what they're doing in healthcare.

The second you said that in a pitch to executive leadership, they'd realize you have no idea how to operate in healthcare.
Not that long ago Reddit had a headcount of about 5, and it was already one of the biggest sites on the internet.
Yes. It will also create the DB schema based on a description, output the SQL needed to set everything up, and even populate it with test data if you ask.
I think experience is going to become a multiplier of value here, there will be a first adopter advantage and lower cost is going to create demand.
I wonder how well it compares to a compiler at converting C++ or rust to assembly. (C is too easy, almost anyone can do that by hand...)
I'll just run it though an AI upscaler before I run it though the AI language model.
Why hire new people, because companies want to do things they couldn't do before. This has been happening for decades already as tooling has evolved. It used to be very hard for average companies to write cross-platform commerce software, now it's a standard thing in the form of a website + payment processor.

There might be some companies or departments that don't need to evolve anymore, and they cut people. That happens already; the product gets finished, so they lay people off. But those people find new jobs.
This is actually the origin of my idea for using nuclear power to produce zero-emission synthetic conventionals. Peak demand is a terrible use-case for nuclear, what you really want for peak demand is rapid-delivery storage like batteries. A Teslawall that charges from the grid during off-peak and discharges to the home during peak, for example. The best use-case for nuclear is, as you say, 100% 24/7, and the best utilization of that I could think of is producing stored energy with maximum compatibility for legacy power infrastructure.
if referring to the collections

the collectibles market always was able to benefit from transparent supplies, transparent volume. NFT's added that and people acted surprised that the collectibles market was that big, when in reality nobody knows how many baseball cards (for example) were issued, how many rare ones are really out there and more. the analog collectibles market has wash trading too.

if NFT purchasers can remove the parasocial relationships they rely on with the creators and just build their own communities for resales then it'll be fine.
Yes, I get it! Its amazing, impressive, all those things.

Its just been like six months of this kind of discourse if you count DALLE and stable diffusion,

I'm personally just tired of the orbit around it. I want to see the amazing future it can make is all. The future that doesnt just contain itself!

I'm not saying this is normal for me to feel, maybe I'm wrong to not stop and smell the flowers more..

Insofar as this is a tool, I want to see the houses not a continuing parade of hammers. I want to see a nuclear reactor!
Donate your money to a more worthy cause ... MIT's endowment is already at $25 billion.
Humans overfit when they go to law school.
it looks like the lam parser should throw, as is it will consume input then fall through to app.

whitespace handling is also not correct.

I don't believe I've seen one correct program written by GPT yet.

edit: try parsing "λ(x x)" for example, or "λ x. x"
> a full-self-driving tesla

Sorry for the derail, but this does not exist and yet this is the second time today I’ve seen it used as a benchmark for what is possible. Would you care to say more?
Unless these models are updated frequently it not going to be better than a human.

ChatGPT doesn't even know Go has generics yet. Now imagine is suggesting you a inferior way of doing something because it doesn't know that a bug as been fixed or a better feature/version has been implemented.

It often recommends made up libraries, or libraries that don't exists anymore.

It even recommended using a Go wiki page as an import for an experimental Go library because it doesn't know the the experimental library has been merged into Go std lib.

Another big problem I had was with algorithms. It would suggestion working code for an algorithm but would contain bugs that would completely defeat using the algorithm in the first place.

So if you don't know what your doing you would think it was giving you working code because it compiles, but it in fact it gave you bad code.

Yeah, it might be good at doing very basic and boring things, but I would never trust it for anything complex. You won't know you shot yourself in the foot until later on when you have to spend hours debugging a bug because you C+P code from ChatGPT.
I sure do love seeing smug people get their comeuppance, unfortunately I expect them to just double down on the cope even when the reality is blinding
>We spend so much time celebrating the "high functioning" neuro-diversives that we defocus from those that need a lot more help.

That's exactly the point DeBoer made on a podcast I listen to (forget which). All these very vocal and highly visible autism advocates with basically social awkwardness as the only externally visible symptom, while rightly wanting to combat stigma associated with their condition, also end up distorting the perception of just how debilitating and devastating the disorder can be. The severely autistic people who require lifelong round the clock care don't write books or go on podcasts. So when someone rails against the disorder "label" and wants us to see mental illness as "neurodivergence", people think of the mild cases they've been exposed to in the media and go "yeah, makes sense, it's just basically quirkiness or a different, equally valid perception of reality". But no, it isn't.
>I don't remember seeing people calling out "genocide!" in any of the war campaigns of the United States

Genocide isn’t just “killing” people. Look it up.

And I don’t give a god damn about shit that happened 20 years ago.

I care about now, and the future.

I would call you a fucking idiot but that goes against the rules so instead I’ll call you uninformed.

Since you’re obviously lazy, here:

https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

a. Killing members of the group;

b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Russia is doing at least four of those.

Russian government officials have publicly, irrefutably, unquestionably admitted to “e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.” on television, in front of the world.

You disgust me.
What is "Leetcode (hard)" specifically? Searching for it brought me to a website (https://leetcode.com/) but I'm assuming that is referring to some special list of problems that are meant to be harder than others, but I cannot find that.
It absolutely has happened.

I've seen intense rage and despair for even top tier 2D artists, Japanese, Chinese, Western all alike. Like top of industry, massive fanbase, they all understand there is no sugarcoating it anymore.

AI improved from 5-year-old scribble to crushing 90% of artists in technical execution within 9 months. So they had no time to process it at all, and had to cope with shock and denial.

Now virtually all traditional 2d artist jobs are on the chopping block, its just inertia keeping them employed for another year or two. At top Chinese game studios like Tencent and Mihoyo, they are already intensely experimenting with AI workflows. And many indie game studios are pretty much already using AI for most concept art.

Artist jobs won't disappear, but they'll become hybrids of 3d modelling, SD prompting, python scripting, model training, and photoshopping. For many artists this means the workflows they spent decades honing is now gone. Also, most of them love drawing, so art jobs that don't involve drawing are despairing to them.

Those who fare best, are those who don't care much about drawing, but storytelling (Say Mangaka), they will be freed from drawing 14 hours a day, and cut their workloads in half.

Note, I think artist jobs will increase and pay better. The true industries in threat are non-virtual entertainment, such as tourism, concerts. They'll be competing with AI augmented artists that can produce awe-inspiring works in weeks not years.

Universal World's hogwarts parks are admirable. But they'll soon be competing against fully realized hogwarts (already modelled in Hogwarts legacy, without AI), that are then filled with fully responsive AIs whom you can actually talk to (Courtesy of GPT5,6,7).

AI will create massive value, but it'll also bring massive, extremely uncomfortable dislocations. Better try to adapt AI as soon as possible, and analyze how your role will transform.
My dude, putting aside the fact that leetcode problem solving isn't factoring in the majority of programming use cases... you do realize this is better than a lot of professional programmers right ?

It's truly amazing seeing the posts shift in real time.
