CLIP doesn't do captioning, it just generates embeddings. And it's contrastive, so it would work poorly for this kind of task: anything 'relational' falls apart immediately. (See for example the DALL-E 2 results for these kinds of captions/tasks.)

It's almost certainly a VQ-VAE-style encoding of the image itself into a sequence of tokens, as was done by DALL-E 1, CM3, Gato and a whole bunch of more recent models. It's the very obvious thing to do, and their context window is more than large enough now.

I like Arkime (used to be called Moloch). My only pet peeve is that the documentation for the search bar is not separated from the tool. Their site docs tell you to go to the tool instead of just having the information mirrored. But for large scale pcap analysis that still lets me look at individual packet data.. it's my first choice.

The valve thing is urban legend, insofar as there's no evidence that TEL mitigating valve seat damage was a known phenomena before the 1960s. So mitigating valve seat recession was not the motivation of TEL when TEL was adopted and only became a motivation for keeping TEL decades later when the effect was discovered.

I hear from everyone using Kafka in production that it is hell unless you use Confluent.

I gave a try to NATS JetStreams but I havn't been convinced by the performances of the Python client, nor the JavaScript one. I don't have extreme data, I just need descent performances.

I'm thinking about giving a try to RabbitMQ streams. I have been very happy with RabbitMQ, the MQTT plugin isn't fully working (the big one is that retained messages are not sent to wildcard subscribers), but it should work with AMQP.
A reminder that as long as it demands training and reinforcement it's almost certainly low on induction and production of new things.

Agreed, seeing how Bing chat has now been confirmed that it was using GPT-4.
The notion that software devs will be replaced reminds me of the inventor of the Gatling gun, who thought that he was saving lives because now fewer soldiers would be needed to fight wars. Didn't quite turn out that way did it?
Formal text wise Chinese is still a very comprehensive language. However in terms of user-generated content it has degraded severely especially in the past ~5 years. Internet slangs in English can be confusing too, but users have a choice in whether to use them or not. On Chinese social media using abbreviations/homophones has become practically baseline for certain common terms because these platforms do so much preemptive self-censorship due to the government's near-invisible red line that fluctuates constantly.

That's incorrect information. The original GPT3 price was about x3 times its current price, not 10-20 times.

This capability is not exactly Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). In the cryptographic literature this is typically referred to as PIR, or Private Information Retrieval [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_information_retrieval]. Counterintuitive indeed. The idea is not totally new, though...
Animated nightmares forever Generated by developmentally delayed AI
We built a "Tv show" mode into our game that makes animations- there's about 25 different shows- the dialogue, animations, camera work, visual fx etc is randomly generated. It also has Twitch chat api integration allowing viewers to control and interact with the shows. It's running on a laptop 24/7 streaming via OBS.
> You might have images, but not the diagnoses to train the AI with.

That's what the unsupervised learning is for. GPT doesn't have labels either, just raw data.
One thing to note is that Bing Chat isn’t the straight GPT-4 model, it’s heavily prompted to show you an answer in a format that Bing Chat wants it to be in. Notice how most lines in a Bing Chat response are direct summaries of lines from the source with a link to the source? I’d argue that while doing that is the morally correct thing to do, it does hamper the usefulness of you aren’t looking for website sourced results.

tRPC on the back end essentially is sharing the typed return value of an API route call with it's react query wrapper on the client. It's useful with Prisma because you can leverage type inference coming from the Prisma query, meaning your types will always be up to date with your DB.
EG a tRPC query that returns prisma.posts.findMany() will share the typeof Post with your client when you call the tRPC route as the return type of the API call, without you having to do any type definitions etc.

It’s about to revolutionize the world, yes. What you described is what this sort if approach is good at: acting as a repository and reformatter for already existing human knowledge. But that doesn’t mean it’s an AGI, because as the person you’re responding to said, to be sure we have one of those requires making something that can create something beyond current human knowledge. (Or, at least, beyond just the logic that was contained in its training set)
Well? Don't keep us hanging. What do you see is the next thing to enshitten? I'm always behind the curve so thats why I ask. I'd be nice to get ahead of something for once in my life.
Same with my experience. Not a fan
GPT-4 is a scary improvement over 3.5, especially for handling code. It will be the literal definition of awesome when these models get a large enough context space to hold a small-medium sized codebase.

I've been playing around with it for an hour seeing what it can do to refactor some of the things we have with the most tech debt, and it is astounding how well it does with how little context I give it.
>You can legitimately have two functions that are exactly the same but they should not be DRY'd up if they are actually serving different purposes.

I use what I've come to call the "Rule of Three" here.

The first time, don't even consider any kind of abstraction. Just do the thing.

The second time, don't abstract yet. Repeat yourself, but do it in a way that will scale and make abstraction possible, while mentally noting how you might abstract it.

The third time, abstract it.

Adhering to this, the vast majority of code will never reach that third stage, thus taming the complexity beast.
The title compares GPT3.5 (not ChatGPT) with GPT4. Although the question is: If ChatGPT can do almost anything GPT3.5 can do, then why is it priced almost 10x less? Is it because GPT3.5 is less "censored"?
>However his points still remains: Most of the usage of Kafka I have seen in production are the result of a random Architect/Techlead who tried follow the hype train

Don't look now but this is how people end up with k8s as well. "We need Kubernetes because we need containers." Google et al convinced people it's the only way to run containers in prod.
Is it really a blind spot if you're aware yet still continue to support the behavior? Seems like mental gymnastics to feel less bad. "Well, I'm not absolutely certain this particular pig was mistreated, so..."

> pretty much singularly responsible for diabetes

1. You should say Type 2 Diabetes when you're talking about it. Type 1 and Type 2 are vastly different things. Diet and exercise help with making Type 1 easier to manage, but they don't "fix" it in any way.

2. There exist people for whom reducing the effects of Type 2 diabetes is harder than just a simple diet change. Things to help Type 2 can help these people make their lives better.

> In the places I've worked that use Kafka, it's 100% always a source of issues and operational headaches.

Compared to what?

I have the opposite experience. For example, ingesting large amounts of log data. Kafka could handle an order of magnitude more events compared to Elasticsearch. Even if the data ultimately ended up in ES, being able to ingest with Kafka improved things considerably. We ended up getting an out of the box solution that does just that (Humio, now known as LogScale).

Similar experience when replacing RabbitMQ with Kafka. None "just works" and there's always growing pains in high throughput applications, but that comes with the territory.

Is Kafka the source of headaches, or is it Zookeeper? Usually it's Zookeeper for me (although, again, Zookeeper has difficult problems to solve, which is why software packages use ZK in the first place).
I agree with the thrust of your point and said something similar in the previous discussion.

But there's a lot we don't understand about diabetes. It's more complicated than just sugar and there's a lot of room to improve our understanding.
I think a lot of the diseases and stuff they studied worked better on animals that aged faster than humans.

The way to justify animal testing is to say, "Ok, we can make these animals suffer for 50 years... or we can make humanity continue to suffer or another 250 in order to better understand this and how the disease grows and evolves... what's worse?"

But... that's the only way I can think to justify it.

Welp, here's a dissenting opinion - it's not.

It is complex, yes, but it solves a very complicated problem. The issue tends to arise when people use it when simpler alternatives exist for their problem.

The biggest issue with all the new grads or interns doing this is that it's just led to a big homogenous tech culture where the industry just cargo cults whatever thing Google (etc) is doing, applicable or not.
I don't suppose you aware that more Americans die every year of inadequate healthcare than the Ukrainian soldiers that have died so far.

Fun fact. When the war stops the Ukrainian soldiers will stop dying, but the needless deaths from poverty and inadequate healthcare in America will continue.

How people can believe that a political regime with such indifference to its own citizens welfare could be concerned about the "freedom" for the citizens of another country on the other side of the world totally beats me.

I guess "freedom" for the Ukrainians means the freedom to have all their country's most valuable assets sold to Western business conglomerates to pay for the reconstruction of the country after the war is over.

Turning Faces into Emojis
how it works: https://ivanludvig.github.io/tech/2023/02/20/pasteface.html
I did try this, although I'm not an AI expert. It will work great for everything that are in the training set, but if there is a hole the model will have trouble. Lets say we train a model with the numbers 1 and 2. 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+2=4
we now give the model 2+1 it will likely guess 2 or 4 because those are the ones that have 2 or 1 in the correct place. A neural network can't do logic. It's good at other things though, for example parsing, a language model could parse human input "two plus one" to 2+1 and then just calculate the answer using a math library.
ChatGPT isn't the only game in town, and corporate purchasing departments (which are the actual target audience) will then rather buy a similar service from Google or someone else, even if it's slightly worse, rather than have to explain themselves (and risk their personal position) to why they're using the toxic taboo thing that's reviled by the press.

The problem is that everyone says this but then nobody defines 'grey'.

It's been a while since I've done UX but I remember a couple of rules of thumb involving projectors (if you work on project management tools it is a certainty that your tool will be used in anger on a projector, and shitty UI in an emotionally charged room is a toxic cocktail).

Anything greater than #eee is indistinguishable from white, and anything less than #222 is indistinguishable from black.

In the days before font weights actually worked, you could do three font weights by mixing #222, #444, and bold.

So that's a third of the greyscale range that isn't grey, at least, and it also misses other mostly-grey colors, and a bunch of shades of blue. Which I think is a long way of saying it's not grey that's the problem, it's low-contrast that's the problem. While grey is heavily represented in that set of colors, it's not all of them, and it might not even be half of them.
Interesting thread.

Are these marginal costs? Or with R&D amortisation?
You should clarify, refined sugars.

There is also the ongoing debate of why the hell consuming white rice, which is instantly broken down into large amounts of glucose, doesn't have the same negative health impact. Lots of investigations around fructose vs glucose and biological pathways of how straight fructose is processed and so on and so forth, but feel free to visit any SE Asian country where rice is well over 50% of meals by volume and obesity levels are low.

I read a good series of investigative articles that posited it is contamination of our food supply from one or more unknown sources that explains why a diet consisting of highly processed food causes more chronic health conditions than a diet consisting of fresh foods even if the macro nutrient content is the same. (Wish I had bookmarked it...)

The problem isn't libertarianism per se, but rather that by the time it's been chopped up by surveillance companies and sold to the public, it's ultimately just marketing used to carry weight for digital authoritarianism - essentially freedom for me but not for thee. The exact same dynamic occurs in the two mainstream political parties, where the grassroots start from decent places which then get transmuted into supporting corporate authoritarianism. Society is more used to the pathologies of mainstream parties, and I suspect the hypocrisy is more jarring when claiming an attitude of fierce individualism while actually creating something that "loathes human dignity".

Libertarianism is ultimately rooted in individualism, which I think is a great basis for political understanding. The ability to "exit" and go one's own way is a powerful dynamic, even though it is impractical for most people to do so and impractical for anyone to do so for most things. Personally I can't understand how one can even determine what's right and wrong in this world without the starting point of individualism (eg human rights). But from that starting point, it's critically necessary to go in a positive direction - viewing things from others' perspective and extending them the same freedoms you expect, rather than the domination and hierarchy of short-sighted self interest.

But yes, back to the larger Surveillance Valley culture? My thoughts are summarized right there in that name. Web 2.0 is just today's version of proprietary software, with the "innovations" of telemetry and centralized control. So is every corporate operating system / platform / etc, not wanting to be left out of owning a piece of the dystopia. So is most every product that gets thoroughly marketed to consumers, if not right out of the gate then definitely down the road after some pivots and acquisitions. Digital technology can provide a lot of freedom, but Surveillance Valley has done fuck all to actually get that unrestricted freedom into end users' hands, as there's no profit in doing so. Ultimately the only thing "libertarian" about Surveillance Valley is that same hypocritical dynamic of freedom for me but not for thee.

It remains to be seen if anything worthwhile for non-techies comes out of web 3.0. Cryptocurrency is itself a bust, having been thoroughly colonized by finance douchebags even quicker than web 2.0. Perhaps fungible currencies have long term futures or perhaps not (non-fungible Bitcoin et al certainly do not). Or perhaps there are enough newly minted millionaires that some will actually continue to build solid human-empowered technology and reject the VC playbook of business disruption masquerading as "tech" in name only. Only time will tell.
Do you think this will be enough context to allow the model to generate novel-length, coherent stories?

I expect you could summarize the preceding, already generated story within that context, and then just prompt for the next chapter, until you reach a desired length. Just speculating here.

The one thing I truly cannot wait for is LLM's reaching the ability to generate (prose) books.
This is true of every large piece of software though. Pretty much every piece of software I use in anger has absolute showstopper bugs, but the alternative isn't betterm it's different.

I only started believing in the singularity this year. When AI which could write code was demonstrated to the public at large, it became a short mental leap, combining the tech with, say, genetic algorithms, to get to a runaway state. So either a singularity or a sigmoid curve which might as well be parabolic from our perspective?
