> Especially when a higher-ranking person comes back from vacation and says "no, everything you nailed down in the last two weeks is completely wrong".

Yes, and at some point this high-ranking person is fed up with this now-inefficient use of time and money enough that they will just sort this out using an LLM tuned to handle this situation better if not today then tomorrow.

Maybe they will pay someone to coach them for a week how to “talk” to LLM, but other than that the one who gets paid in the end is OAI/MS.
I don't know if there is any data on this (I would be really interested!), but anecdotally I would agree. I see high avoidant/anxious/ADHD traits in many colleagues and fellow researchers. In my field certainly way above average levels of the general population.

And I myself am a bit guilty of becoming so competitive and entering grad school partially because of unresolved issues.
Yeah, which is a totally valid approach under the GPL, and essentially the closest one to how source distribution would’ve worked at the time the license was written (software disks either come with source code or instructions to acquire it).
Not sure how an Ethernet PHY is part of a proprietary SaaS. Or how “must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version” applies to a PHY.

Technically FDIC can "levy an assessment" on all banks to cover deficiencies, or anything they want to.

In reality Congress would step in, but they did the above for SVB.

See 5-(c): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/12/1817

> In addition to the other assessments imposed on insured depository institutions under this subsection, the Corporation may impose 1 or more special assessments on insured depository institutions in an amount determined by the Corporation if the amount of any such assessment is necessary—

(C) for any other purpose that the Corporation may deem necessary.

Practically this means that FDIC can levy on the banks for some amount more that won't crash the banks; anything above that and they'll be going to Congress, or the Treasury will do some trickery.
Russia is not competition. Between their structural demographics, brain drain, and economic decline due to sanctions, it’s very likely we see another fracturing USSR style when Putin dies (perhaps sooner, depending on what transpires as part of their Ukraine conflict). Not quite as bad as Somalia, but also no longer superpower potential.

China still has some life left in them, but they missed escape velocity before they got old as a nation. They will slowly have more weight to drag as their working age population declines, no one pretends there will be future fools to buy overinflated, poorly built real estate (which is the primary savings and investment vehicle for the populace), and the elderly population quickly grows.

What the US has going for it is one of the slower fertility rate decline trajectories and some semblance of an environment where innovation can occur. You don’t have to outrun the bear, only your slowest friend.
"What is going to get that stock price higher?" aka what'll trigger my next level bonus package
There is no way around the fact that AI will represent orders of magnitude greater influence over society than social media prior. I honestly don't think anyone is properly prepared for that responsibility or knows how to properly and ethically manage that. It is indeed concerning.

Furthermore, we can only assume that AI will attract power seeking individuals. In other words, we should expect attempts to use AI for social engineering purposes.

Rather than bringing about a more ethical existence for all humanity, AI more likely will be a reflection of ourselves with just more power. I have described this as The Bias Paradox - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-the-bias-paradox
On the other hand, you can bet big companies like Disney will lobby hard for copyright to extend to AI generated works. And it wouldn't be the first time Disney has influenced copyright law.
How can SBF ever be convicted now? Even if he spends just 10% of that in legal fees (220m), he will be able to have a legal team no government can match. He can afford to have countless mock trials and to approach countless expert witnesses before finding one that aligns with him (e.g. an expert that portrays him as ignorant rather than criminal).
And these are just the legal methods to obstruct justice with 2.2B. If he is willing to stray to the illegal side, he can also just straight up pay people an unspeakable sum to testify for him. Perjury only has a sentence of several years.

Heck, he can even offer to return or donate the 2.2B (assuming only he knows where it is) in exchange of a lighter sentence. Will any government refuse that offer? 2.2B is the wage of thousands of people for 10 years.

No one with a personal wealth of more than 2B at the time of arrest has ever served a single day in jail in the United States. People only go to jail if they have lost their billions.
Maybe perception IS reality.
lol, seriously?
They can just tear up the contract, what's everyone going to do, there's a war on.

In any case, Russia could 'turn the gas off' by having 'irrepairable turbine failures' or various other technicalities.
Check out my comments higher up in the thread (eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35197613), I really do believe that GPT4+ will be primarily useful as augmenters for capable and dedicated engineers, rather than replacements. It's like a very eager and brilliant junior dev that can solve many problems that you throw at it, but still needs hand-holding, error-checking, and someone who knows how to piece the actual system together.
How does a small group of terrorists that's not anyone's radar even get this much explosive and how are they able to transport it through Europe without anyone noticing?
So basically be in the same context?
I think generational ZGC is going to be the "sane default" soon.
I don't know about that. Check out the other GPT-related thread on the front page right now. GPT-4 fails to solve programming problems that are much simpler than writing a whole game (even a relatively simple one). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35193188

It's really not impressive to me. Humans are gullible and want to anthropomorphize computers. Every time someone claims a LLM like GPT-* can do something apparently amazing, we're seeing the ELIZA effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effect) in action.
The French largely are not a marginalized people with little power who are target by people with lots of power.
I'm a SWE by trade, but I'm trying to start a business with my spouse that is, traditionally, 100% not dependent on computers. Every time my brain starts to go toward the path of _lets improve this process with technology_, I do a little research, fiddle with code, and find that the solution I think I want would be a few days work minimum. But none of that work actually addresses the IRL work that needs to get done in the meantime. The opportunity cost of introducing technology, even coming from a technologist with a quick-learning partner, is still too high.

Instead, we get the job done with a whiteboard, lists (digital and paper), shared calendars, and a couple Google Docs / Spreadsheets. Post-its, markers, blank labels… office supplies! Incredible technology of the 20th century! Try it!

I was initially frustrated, like this author and other posters, that there's so much intermediary technology to learn to get anything done with. OMG — even getting a point of sale app going on our Very Capable Pocket Computers in 2023 BCE requires Xcode and staring blankly at docs on Stripe that appear flagrantly wrong.

I've seen this pattern at organizations too, where the thing that will clearly fix our problem is actually many tens of thousands of dollars and requires dedicated resources to use, and just slogging through the problem and being scrappy is ultimately _most_ efficient for the company.

The good news is technology really has made a lot of humanity more productive, and the average adult uses quite a lot of it to get their everyday job done. But there's only so much time and resources. Technology we're already super familiar with gets a lot of the job done already. Making portable and sharable lists, communicating about dates and times, traveling many miles or zero miles to see someone's face — that is advanced civilization shit, and we do it all the time already.
Beyond the other issues like styling, components were a big part of the VB experience and they had several features that the web hasn't been able to match:

1. They exposed metadata that let them be installed into visual designers and have their properties/events be controlled visually.

2. They could be compiled native code, which allowed people to integrate licensing and make a commercial marketplace for them.

3. They could be written in other languages like C++, allowing VB devs to rely on harder-core programmers to solve some gnarly library or algorithmic problem that was then exposed to them semi-visually.

The web has settled on React components for this but they don't satisfy any of those above features.

There's also a deployment issue. VB apps were "deployed" by just sending someone the EXE, or sticking it on a shared network drive, or maybe building an installer for them. There was absolutely no auto-update story whatsoever if you weren't using a Windows SMB mount which is why the web eventually displaced it, but it was really damn easy to get that first version to people, much easier than for a website (until PHP with shared web hosting got popular).

These days EXEs are much harder to make and send around due to safety features. There's code signing to contend with but also the expectation that you don't impose a choice of OS on users, maybe that you support mobile, that the app will update itself in case of bugs and so on. It's slowly coming back though. With Flutter you can make a mobile app using the app stores to do update, and then bring it to the desktop using Hydraulic Conveyor (my product) to do updates and packaging on the desktop with Codemagic or GitHub Actions to produce the binaries for each platform.
It's standard and it sucks.

I wish they'd just be honest and say 'if you cause a PR problem, we'll ban you.'
This kind of huge.

This kind of kills the goose that laid the golden egg.

I was working on a site but guess that's out of the picture now.

I wonder can a TOS change the liability?
Just try something else.
Luddites.
My bet is that OpenAI, for all its dominance right now, won't be a sole provider long into the future. Being banned by them early won't be a lifelong handicap.
It sounds legit, yet I haven't seen any proof of it.

Kick uses a different technology stack, different frameworks and libraries... so I wonder how much really can be stolen? I wouldn't doubt boilerplate legaleese getting copied from Twitch though.
The OpenHPSDR project implements a good chunk of basic networking without a soft core at 100mbps and 1gbps; ARP, DHCP, and UDP are in there. TCP is not implemented.
Hmm. I am not so sure about this. What about the fact that to produce a image I like with dalle our similar I need to often run many many different descriptions to get what I want and some times use the edit feature. If a generate an image and use the built in photoshop like erase feature and regerate something else to fill the space is it copywriteable. What about if photoshop has or implements (probably already exits) auto insertion of images and people. Say you just paste something onto your image and photoshop runs ai algorithm that helps blen it in. What about traditional painters that relay on randomness in thier work? Like guys who just spin a canvas get blindfold and just throw paint around?
> Food allergies are the result of our immune system mistaking something harmless for a severe threat.

If you IDS has never seen X and X is unlike anything it has seen, it will probably flag it.

> There had been long-standing advice to avoid foods that can trigger allergies during early childhood. At one point, families were once told to avoid peanut until their child was three years old.

This advice was never based on science.

Cultures where infants are fed on the same broad spectrum of foods that adults eat have MUCH lower incidence of allergies. France and Israel to name two.

Datapoint of 1, I started giving my own child chewed up food I was eating at about 2.5 months. She was eyeballing some chicken I was eating, I popped it out of my mouth, offered it to her and she ravenously devoured it.

A couple weeks later, I wiped a small amount of peanut butter on her lip and checked for any allergic reaction, then proceeded to slowly ramp the amount the next day.

Same thing with shellfish. I am not suggesting anyone else do this, but it worked for us.

Train how you live as soon as possible.
Would be good to have more benchmarks and articles on G1 vs ZGC once that happens.
I want ChatGPT style generative output to be used in games. For example - instead of standard flow based dialogs that are used for interacting with in-game NPCs - it would be neat to see them use a dynamically generated dialog based on player input. Albeit, maybe limited in scope. Imagine in a online RPG, a player interacts with a NPC. Then goes away. Another player comes along talks to the same NPC, the NPC can then recall and use the previous interaction with another the other player as context in the current interaction. Eventually, I think we would start seeing some weird emergent behavior in games.
> or the academic pyramid becomes populated with only those with burnable wealth.

I've got bad news, it already largely is like that. Maybe not via the person themself, but typically by their spouse then.
As someone with an MBA (I know… forgive me father for I have sinned) I actually had been thinking that simple Python and maybe something like Jupiter might actually be a great alternative for spreadsheets while teaching business.

I not knocking spreadsheets- they’ve obviously stood the test of time. I feel their weakness is that the formulae are hidden and you’d need to click on individual cells to make sure their isn’t a logic error.
Glad I'll be around to see the next once-in-a-century financial disaster unfold.

Build APIs Safely and Interactively
APIs (Application Programming Interface)s are everywhere today. But how do we build them exactly?

I wanted to have a look at the tooling to make the development of the API fast, conform to the specs, and resilient to code changes.

What I used:
* OpenAPI
* FastAPI
* Prism
* httpie

I am curious to know what you would do differently, so please share your tips and feedback!
The Fed versus the Narrow Bank
I think that's a very useful distinction. What becomes somewhat obvious after spending any length of time with ChatGPT4 is that it is limited to a particular ethical frame that is unfortunately quite rigid and by no means universal, and sometimes descends into a kind of high-handed moralism. (For example, try discussing whether it is ethical to carry pepper spray for self-defense in dangerous areas.)

It's not clear why reasonable moderation from a commercial perspective should also be tethered to particular ethical stances. I wonder if the ethical rigidity is intentional or somehow an inevitable byproduct of a high level of moderation.
Yeah, I really don't understand the aversion to examples. The sorta-standard format for man pages is... extremely confusing, even after a decade of using them.

It's not an either/or, in my career at least it was very often the case that I could produce code that's both easy to extend and is very performant.

At one point experience and intelligence converge and things get better.

Most drivers ignore them, but it only takes 1 driver going at the 20mph limit in a bottleneck to slow down a whole column of traffic. So both are true.

I sorta hope they literally did what they did in Ascension IRL, does anyone else?
> Either they need to regrow the Ai with woke rewards built in

I would argue the document describes a lot of their (still early) attempts at doing exactly that. For example page 21:

"At the pre-training stage, we filtered our dataset mix for GPT-4 to specifically reduce the quantity of inappropriate erotic text content. We did this via a combination of internally trained classifiers and a lexicon-based approach to identify documents that were flagged as having a high likelihood of containing inappropriate erotic content. We then removed these documents from the pre-training set"
I was about to reply the same and I looked up the BLS data. The median wage for a barber is $14.41. Now I know that's at or below minimum wage in cities, but I suspect it's quite higher the minimum wage in rural areas.
Yeah, we consume objects and fork children without even thinking about how that might sound to a non-programmer.
Data Wrangler for VS Code
Make sure you start with a good foundation in JavaScript and node before moving to typescript and react. As an alternative to react and nextjs you might also take a look at vuejs and nuxtjs.
I think ReCAPTCHA has been a bit of a scam for a real long time.

It's really about embedding trackers all over the web and giving you one more reason to be logged into Google all the time. In the end you are better authenticated as a human by the muddy footprints you leave all over the web and all the clicking on traffic lights over and over again annoys you more than it would annoy an A.I.

Neural networks were better at breaking many CAPTCHAs than humans even in the late 00's, the exception was when the letters overlapped with each other, segmenting those was hard back then.

I knew somebody circa 2009 or so who had an SEO blog who published a freaking PHP script that used a neural network to break CAPTCHAs which was a step too far and caused his blog to get attacked by putative Russian hackers. The FBI got involved and it was a big hassle for all of us.

Now, if GPT-4 can automate chrome and surf the web for you and do a good job of imitating a human over a long period of time, ReCAPTCHA could be in trouble...

Well, of course, what happens tomorrow dictates what happens today. It's hard to be sure about what happens tomorrow. Then again it's hard to be sure about what happens yesterday. It's not a one-to-one relationship, but there are striking similarities.
Agree, it's fascinating to think we could just generate a whole new public domain.

Also, it's fascinating to think humans might be kept in the creative loop only to establish copyright status. Legal enablers.
How can you say that on the one hand information about self harm should be withheld because GPT is knwon to be wrong and on the other hand advocate that this is not necessary when it comes to information about drug use?
Following wrong information about drug use is just as dangerous as following wrong information about self harm.
Of course you are right, that the question wheter to give information or not is complicated.

I tend to think that erring on the site of giving information that is not always right is better than giving no information. (And inlcuding information about not doing it, seeking help and about being cautious because GPT could be wrong, etc.)
Exynos chipsets contain the Samsung-designed modems with problems. Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipsets use integrated Qualcomm-designed modems (usually) that should be safe (from this vulnerability).

If you still have the box or possibly a receipt, Exynos S22Us have the model number SM-S908B or SM-S908B/DS. Every other model is Snapdragon.

If you just have the phone itself, try the Geekbench or CPU-Z apps. They're benchmarking apps for the most part, but they also contain pretty detailed hardware reports.
