I mean I guess a lot of us might be giving up and expecting an ASI within a short period of AGI that will put an end to our sorry lot pretty quickly

Now if there is just a slow race to AGI then things are going to be very politically messy and violent ( even much more so than now ) in the next decade.
Serious question: why did their price crash if they were in fact still AAA quality in terms of long-run expected payout? Is the "they were overrated junk and everyone looked the other way" narrative not true in your eyes?
My current approach to the Reddit game is reportmaxxing. I'll make innocent-sounding comments with subtle triggers that will enrage some people, then pretend I have no idea what they're talking about in their furious replies, politely winding them up this way in our back-and-forth until they say something rash that I can report them for.

If I can frustrate them enough to make a violent threat, that's usually enough to get their account permanently banned. And then I win.

I got an account with an 11-year history wiped out the other day, that's my high score so far. Good times.

That's a great way of describing it, and I think a very necessary and important thing to communicate at this time. A lot of people in this yhread are saying that it's all "just" statistics, but "mere" statistics can give enough info to support inferences to a stable underlying world, and the reasoning about the world shows up in sophisticated associations made by the models.
> if you can reduce notes they'd actually get more time talking and seeing the patient

You're not thinking like a hospital administrator. Sounds like these doctors can handle 40% more patients to me!
Are they going to limit access to this because they think its too "dangerous". That would be a tragedy if they did. We've seen how opening access up to as many people as possible has produced some of the best results and demonstrated the usefullness of these LLMs. They need to get it out to the public as soon as possible and then see what the public come up with. I really feel like a new age of innovation is upon us with these "AI" programs, its going to be a blast to see where we go from here. Its going to upend a lot of predictions people have made about the future.

Yeah but that's also 30x times worse. ChatGPT is much worse-performing than davinci-003.
Untill the capacity is increased there's just nothing in it for Bing to have 100 enthusiasts constantly ask it unproductive questions.

Canadian news organizations don't care, because they're all heavily subsidized by the government, and so essentially state media[1]:

> But given the trend in Canadian media, I’d guess low Thousands… possibly 10-20k if they do really well, but also quite possibly down into the hundreds some episodes… C-SPAN, a sorta equivalent network, got 440,000 viewers for the 2020 republican convention and 76,000 for the 2020 Democratic convention (Citation)… so divide by 10 for the Canadian population…divide by 2 to 10 again for how exciting a week night of TVO isn’t compared to a 2020 US political convention… and ya a few single digit thousand, or even a few hundred viewers on an off night… that’s what we’d estimate for an Average episode of the Agenda.

Isn't Panspermia kind of irrelevant to answer the actual question of how life started? It's just passing the buck on to another planet.

The important part to the question is not about where, but how.
Sure. Sent a ping.
While some people do get 1M/yr, it's hardly every E7+. I don't know the exact % obviously, but anecdotally it's <30% (though more get the smaller grants--around 250k or 500k).
No I'm just an idiot. Since the price is per token the actual ratio is more like 8x more (assuming you fill both contexts) which is plausibly the ratio between the costs.
> On versioning: it's 2023 & in most cases, you can solve versioning in other ways than maintaining old API versions indefinitely. For RN there's OTA, for web you just need reload the page or "downgrade" your SPA-links to a classic link to get a new bundle (did an example here https://twitter.com/alexdotjs/status/1627739926782480409)

I would suggest you think more deeply about this problem.

In all the examples you listed there is a population on the new version and the old version, even in the happy case. Distributed systems are not instant, and changes take time to propagate. Publishing a new version of your website / RN bundle to a CDN does not mean all edge locations are serving it. Long lived single page applications (Gmail for example) are not typically refreshed often. For small applications, this may not be an issue -- when your scale is millions of users, the population that now receives a 500 due to a bad request is significant, even if it's seconds or minutes where clients access both versions, but the backend only supports the latest version.

> Also, we'll release tooling to help keeping track of changes in cases where you can't update the clients as easily.

The ease of updating the clients doesn't solve this issue, and avoiding leaking it into your framework because it's messy or introduces constraints won't make it go away.
"No means no." - I just said I would please not like this to be derailed into some mental health advice thread, so please accept the "no" to that as such.
As a front heavy full stack Dev I concur. The debate going on lately has maybe had some important points but also been quite lopsided.

I think you make a good point. Reactive frameworks are quite comparable to Kubernetes. React addresses a number of issues but not without creating issues of its own. Kubernetes seems similar in this. It also seems quite "bloated" but it seems worth it.

Name a solution that adds value that doesn't also add a bunch of complexity.
Ah, interesting! It's a tough question and not one that has an obvious answer, which is what makes it a good test, it requires a little creativity. In my tests, ChatGPT/3 can't/won't answer it.

> Also, using a `oneof` field is correctly typed on the frontend as

myfield: TypeA | TypeB | TypeC

But what about when the `oneof` has multiple variants with the same base type? Like:

message User {
oneof contact_info {
string email = 1;
string phone_number = 2;
}
}

Does this get compiled down to `contact_info: string | string` on the frontend? How do you tell which variant was used without encoding the discriminant?
I'm no expert, but I feel like there are cheaper and easier ways to improve the public perception of Fauci and Gates (I suspect it's not even that bad to start with) than starting a proxy war with Russia and/or a direct war with China.

Not sure if I am reading you right but are you saying the options are either to go to a FANG or a startup? If so, I'd add startups to the set of places new grads should avoid.

Assholes are everywhere, so learning to deal with them is essential, but, in my experience(which, arguably, mostly comes from another era), the valley has a lot more assholes per engineer than, say, a small to medium sized company. Not only that, but the valley has an overall social environment which is... unsupportive to many. It is, based on my experience and the general feeling I've encountered talking to coworkers and online folks, a very difficult place to find friends and support.

Depending on your role, there are a lot of places that look down on FANG experience. That is going to vary a lot with which part of the SW elephant you work on. My experiences as an embedded SWE who deals a lot with HW folks won't necessarily map to someone doing games or front end web work.
But OpenTable was never open source to begin with, so that association was never made.

Open AI started with a commitment to being open source (thus the "open"), but then they changed their minds and went closed source. I think in this context, keeping the "Open" in their name is a bit deceptive.

It's not the biggest issue in the world, admittedly, but it does leave a bad taste in the mouth.
If you read any articles they always point to some deregulation by Trump, or some deregulation in 2010. No idea what they mean, they just wave their finger.
The video gives the general idea, but it only shows a graphical simulation of what the wearer sees. I'm curious to see an actual photo or video of the text appearing on the lens of the glasses, in reality, with no special effects.

It's difficult to be sure exactly what six times "better" means, but I wouldn't expect something to have to be six times better necessarily to be six times better to be six times more valuable. I wouldn't expect a pitcher making $30MM/yr to be 6x better than one making $5MM/yr, but I could buy that they were 6x more valuable to have on your team.
we need to remove empirical data and stats from the training data, to prevent the AI from noticing the wrong things.
It's unfortunate but the vast amount of human literature is not up to those standards.
The article further explains why that may not work out.

To quote:

> the industry is betting on advanced nuclear reactors to save the day.

> It’s a bad bet.

The main points:

> The advanced and small modular reactors (SMRs) under development face a raft of economic, regulatory, technological and temporal risks.

and

> The advanced reactor closest to market in the U.S. is being developed by NuScale, which has a nonbinding agreement to build a first-of-its-kind SMR project in Idaho. The company has already raised its projected power cost from $58 per megawatt-hour to $89, even though it’s still years away from even beginning construction.

and

> Advanced reactors such as TerraPower’s Natrium, which are significantly different in design from existing light-water reactors, face an even steeper regulatory climb. And they’ll have to contend with broken or nonexistent supply chains because the more highly concentrated uranium fuels used by most advanced reactors are currently unavailable in large quantities outside of Russia.

Which leads to this summary at the end:

> Regardless of rosy messaging from DOE and the industry, it’s almost certain that Vogtle 3 and 4 are going to be the last big nuclear reactors coming online in the U.S. for a long time.

> GPT does not model subjects. GPT does not even model words! It models tokens.

The first and last layers of a transformer decoder model tokens. The hidden layers don't have this restriction. There was a paper recently showing that the hidden layers actually perform mesa-optimization via something like backprop. There's absolutely no reason to believe they are not capable of world modeling. In fact all evident suggests they do, in fact, do world modeling.

a big problem with these AI developments is that they change things so much and so fundamentally that it makes us all like boomers trying to use the internet in 1990. no idea whats going on. stumbling and fumbling along. you say that it will take years to build the supporting software. yeah, if it were just humans doing it.

its so refreshing to see all the people in this thread who are expressing their concern about the most extreme employment/economic shockwave of all time. it gets way too little attention. but the impact on employment will be the very least of our worries not too long from now. mostly because people are too stupid to either realize that something terrible is happening or do anything about it.
I am surprised they allow only 32k tokens when Reformer can have context length of 1M on 16GB VRAM. It seems like they have some ways to optimize it further.
TSMC to Build and Operate an Advanced Semiconductor Fab in the USA
I don’t follow the industry that closely, but I know TerraPower (a Bill Gates vehicle) is actively doing things, including building out molten salt reactors.
It could easily be the last of its generation and its size built in the US. Is there any non-SMR on the horizon?
In the end the cost for you is how many tokens consumed, if you can get more value out of one request with 32k context that multiple with lower, then it’s cheaper (and faster).

Some problems also require a larger context to be able to solve.

The fundamental techniques that they use are highly lossey and are far inferior to ultra-long context length models where you can do it all in one prompt. Hate to break it to you and all the others.

Lovely, for me coreference resolution also is a huge issue. I created this package (https://github.com/Pandora-Intelligence/crosslingual-corefer...) which is currently the only viable solution to do coref resolution in Dutch and some other low-resource language.

Also, if you want to scale, LLMs are going to prove to expensive, so eventually data need to be logged somewhere to create a fine-tuned model that can do sub-tasks and ideally do them better. What do you think?

Yes, but we're disagreeing about the specific meaning of words. Capitalism describes an economy where capital is the mechanism through which goods and services are allocated. It is not the partnership of public and private entities, as you suggest. That would be crony capitalism.

>> This is just strange thinking to equate decline with some sort of technological leadership.

> Technology is one of the best indicators of power, progress, societal dynamism and hope for the future.

It certainly is, but there are many other variables to consider. European want at least some balance with other values which we consider important. Equality, privacy, healthcare. Just to name a few.

You mention the UK leaving the EU. They left because they felt restricted by the rules of the single market and wanted to unleash their capitalism more akin to the US. Look where it led them. To utter chaos and lack of tomatoes. European countries are too small to give birth to super tech champions at the same rate as the US and Europe historically has not enough VC capital, but we do have a strong SME segment. Companies which are world leaders in their segment.

Europe isn't in decline in the sense that it isn't a great place to life.
While I appreciate that's the goal of the proponents, my personal opinion is they won't succeed in it. As you point out, historically we generate "worst of both worlds" policies at the federal level, and I have no reason to believe that history won't bear itself out again. I also personally think regardless of whether they succeed in making it better, making it available to all is inevitable, but only because for many people who are paying all or part of their premiums, you could probably slap a flat 10% income tax on top of what they're already paying in taxes and even with current medicare's benefits, most wouldn't even be any worse off.

Ask HN: How do you think LLMs will affect society medium/long term?
I know obviously there is a ton of discussion about GPT-4 in the main announcement post, and while I'm blown away by a lot of these capabilities, I honestly don't understand how our capitalist system will survive this, long term. I'm not a Luddite, but it's pretty easy for me to see how this will get rid of the need for tons of jobs. People always love to say "technology replacing people has been happening since the beginning of time", but the change here (at least to me) is that the rate by which AI can fill jobs will (or has?) hit a tipping point where it will be faster than new jobs will pop up.

How do other people feel about this? I've discounted tons of hype cycles in the past (crypto/Blockchain, Metaverse, etc.), even in cases where I was wrong (e.g. the importance of mobile), but this feels at least as consequential as the Internet to me.
Since various tech layoffs I noticed major sites either being slower to browse or experiencing outages more often.
