Making a copy of the work (or data) without compensating the author of that work denies them the remuneration that they should ideally get for putting in the effort to build that work.

Now, you could always make the argument that creation of value only happens when a physical artifact is built, but that would also be a general argument against white collar jobs and make it okay for corporations to not pay a knowledge worker such as a software developer or a technical writer, simply because they provided a copy of their work.
As long as the person you're stealing the bread from isn't having their own financial crisis I suppose that's fine. You can steal it from larger corporations also until they close the store because too many things are being stolen.

Now that LLaMa is out of the bag, there is no stopping the scammers. They can just run LLaMa on their own GPUs, fine tune it to whatever nefarious purpose they have, etc.

Not only can scammers do this, but they will prefer to do this purely for cost reasons. Scammers have to turn a profit, too. And nation state actors will do it for traceability reasons.

So the really bad actors won't use OpenAI anyway. So OpenAI should stop lobotomizing their service for the non-nefarious actors who are just trying to make the next generation of software.

Sure, go ahead and put subtle steganographic fingerprinting in the OpenAI output, so long as it doesn't affect quality. This will hinder the low-tech bad actors who can't run LLaMa themselves, and won't hurt the good actors.

But it's the most infuriating thing to try to build on the GPT4 API when its "helpful assistant" chat type mindset occasionally breaks the workflow.

Yeah, mixing everything and testing a sample of it still does not guarantee that you won't have a hot pocket of something mysterious and deadly, but did not get into the test sample no matter how well you think you're mixing it. This is why the FDA is so hard core when it comes to approving the production of drugs. They want to know about the entire process of production from top to bottom and routinely suspend a producer's license, removing product from shelves if there is any doubt as to the safety of their end product. When parts of milligrams can mean the difference between life and death, the risk isn't worth the reward, IMHO.
My first exposure to programming, the AP CS exam (and its accompanying course), was in java. My first hobby foray into programming (Minecraft) was Java. So, I'm heavily biased here by my familiarity. However, in the years since, I've done a lot of time where my primary focus at jobs was, among others: python data stuff, "fullstack" stuff, Scala stuff, and golang stuff. And I just keep coming back to Java as my overall favorite.

My personal diff against most languages goes something like:

1. Stuff rots a lot less fast than in python and js. Code keeps working for longer, dependency goofiness happens a lot less, etc.

2. It's just less clunky than golang - but this is mostly my own preferences. I often describe go as if someone designed a language, and then had this list of hard language design problems, and were I to look at this list, I would go "hmm yes these are hard problems where all the options have drawbacks", and then for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM they picked the compromise I would not have picked. So it's just death by a thousand little things that annoy me. My current job is golang though so I'm wondering if I'll come around to it or something. We shall see.

3. Java just doesn't encourage such terrible cleverness that Scala (and to a lesser extent python and js) invites. This might be cultural too where Scala has this functional programming fanatics segment who love the cats library a little too much. But never have I ever before seen so much code that's just intractable to junior devs, and requires far too much brain-CPU for mids and seniors to read. Sure you can get into a lot of trouble with Java's reflection, but IME many java devs are suitably reluctant to go reflection crazy.

4. Damn is it fast by default. And can be REALLY fast if you specifically focus on a specific path.

5. The tooling is so mature. Does python or go even have anything like VisualVM? And as I understand it, even VisualVM is old hat compared to JFR, though I've not looked closely there.

6. The library ecosystem. It's even more expansive then npm but 10x less thrashy and churny. I particularly like that there's this interesting niche of academic libraries that end up out there that you might find yourself bumping into now and then.

7. Packaging. People use maven. Even people who use gradle still basically are just using maven with extra steps. Sure it's XML but aside from adding dependencies, you hardly touch it. And if your build system truly needs to be weird (like, say, android), then gradle is right there for you. 2 tools for the whole ecosystem. How many does python have again? I find I have little patience for packaging problems and I suspect some of it stems from the fact that if I were using Java, I wouldn't be having packaging problems.

I'm sure I could go on, but I'll cut it here. For a million reasons, I find stuff built in Java just works and keeps working (both dev-environment and in prod) far more probably and for longer than in other languages and stacks. And it's fast enough to develop that I'd say it's well within range of python and ruby and such, for anything that bigger than a couple files.

Structural problems require structural solutions. A best first step would be reforming the brainwashed American conception of Marxist studies so we can someday conduct a serious discourse concerning the contradictions and consequences of capitalism, which belie the origins and effective purpose of our police departments as we know them.

If anything is for sure, defunding the police was never a remotely serious proposal and it's not lost on Marxists why working people found it such a laughable phrase. Calling it a "proposal" or "strategy" would be giving far too much credit.

I never took any of these classes for my CS undergrad. I took mostly signal and image processing electives. Nothing you learn in the classes you mentioned, i couldnt learn in a weekend from a textbook.
I'm not advocating for perfectly normalized schemas. There's a large gap from: perfectly normalized schema -> unstructured blob of json. I'm saying that most people nowadays prefer to not think at all about how their data looks and they'll add properties ad-hoc.

This also does not hold up well in an operations heavy environment. Like all things in programming, a well balanced approach is necessary. Some combination of formally structured data with some flexibility for future requirements is probably the best course of action here, but that's too much work for programmers these days.

I find those types of games intolerable due to motion sickness - the inner ear is at odds with what the eyes are seeing.

This paper has been making the rounds recently after being severely misrepresented in the media, with headlines like "pentagon says there could be an alien mothership in the solar system." The actual paper is much more reasonable, with the simple goal of putting constraints on what we would expect from Alien probes in terms of our tools for observing them, e.g. establishing bounding calculations we can use to rule out alien craft based on data like how much or how little light they're emitting on our FLIR systems.

Personally, I love the UFO stuff and would like nothing more than to learn aliens are visiting us. But I think it's far more likely that it's all part of a government disinformation campaign, mostly based on the fact that Lue Elizondo (aka Lue Anon) is a career disinformation asset, and the entire saga has played out exactly as you'd expect a disinformation campaign to go. The only "data" we have on UAPs comes from military "leaks" and second-hand reports. The paradox of the UFO community is that on one hand, they accuse the government of lying to us for 70 years, but on the other hand, they point to evidence "released" (selectively leaked) by the government as incontrovertible proof of "the phenomenon."

As for Avi Loeb (first author of the linked paper), I have great respect for him and anyone who would keep such an open mind, but I have to admit he's also a bit of a charlatan huckster. I remain curious to see the results of his Galileo project, but I'm skeptical they'll be able to find some tiny fragments of a meteor that crashed into the Pacific ocean a few years ago. And if they do find such fragments, and claim that they're part of an alien ship, I'll be even more skeptical.
For anyone interested, the author (Avi Loeb) has a very accessible book titled "Extraterrestrial" that goes into the details of why the Oumuamua interplanetary object may be more likely to be a "space buoy" or light sail than a comet.

More importantly it’s not a law at all. It’s as you say a doctrine established by the courts. If congress wanted to improve civil protections from the police, they would clarify the law and end qualified immunity as a doctrine. It’s absurd this stems from the courts.

It is SO hard to not switch to English when you start talking with someone who doesn't speak fluent German. It's some stupid automatism we Germans have and it took me years to break this habit. Maybe you can do the same and stick to your bad German even if the Germans switch to English? Conversations in two languages sound funny :-)
We have plenty of literature and media in German, and few languages get treated with the same effort by Hollywood distributors like German does.

If you already are a EU citizen, you simply won't bother with German citizenship. It will become an interesting problem for democracy to solve with Luxemburg have some 47% foreigners, not sure how many are EU-citizens [1].

I challenge this. With 1.5 billion people the cream of highly motivated and intelligent people will of course rise to the top. Anyone not razor focused on getting out, getting up, and pushing successful traits wouldn't make it; survivor bias.
9000 jobs at one company is quite small compared to the overall industry and compared to the global shortfall in tech jobs. In Germany alone there's a 780k tech worker shortage over the next 3 years[1]. It ebbs and flows in particular companies and particular regions, but the trend is still upward globally.

Today I discovered that even if I give the AI a safe prompt 1 time in 4 it decided to generate some "bad" stuff, it tells me it can't comply but it takes my credits. This in an API call, why not use their fucking safe shit and put the robot to work over and over again to create safe output?

Bastards, I suspect the issue was that the prompt contained the word "monkey" and I suspect since this is an USA company they put tons of safe filters in, from all the big groups(conservatives, religious, liberals ) so nobody gets offended and cause a PR issue.

TL:DR they are filtering what we can do, and when they do mistakes we still pay for it.

I had the same question when I was a TA for junior (3rd year) CS classes at UCSD, coming from an undergrad in Greece. I talked with a lot of my students and I was shocked to learn that only half of their courses were in CS. The rest were very "breath" courses, many unrelated to engineering altogether. Contrast that with my undergrad experience (which is also pretty typical for many non-US undergrad programs), where _all_ of the courses are engineering-related: math, physics, compilers, OS, etc. Perhaps there's merit to breath vs depth, but I have only experienced one side of the equation.
They have a two for Tuesday special. I have gone a bunch of times, I took a friend and we played for 5 hours. Much cheaper than feeding quarters, and a LOT better variety. Yes, they could do both half days, and an hourly rate...

All of those hours of practice are merely covering what was already gone over in lecture, only it is largely unguided, and you're not really expected to correct your mistakes and do it right once the assignment is graded and handed back to you.

Once you get into a job, you're constantly revising past mistakes, doing new things and all the while you have coworkers who are helping you- they don't want to wait for you to make a mistake, they want to help you get it right the first time if you need the help.

Uni courses rarely cover real-world knowledge that you will use on the job. Aside from some specialized jobs, most of what they teach you is either too low-level or mostly useful as background knowledge. So many practices aren't covered in college courses- even things as simple as version control have only recently started to become common.

You're going to be learning a lot on the job, and at a decent job what you learn will make what you went through in college pale in comparison.
How can this happen in 2023? More importantly, how can a well-funded firm like OpenAI allow such lousy database bug to occur in their system?
For all the hatred towards Google, I'm sure at least they wouldn't have this kind of problems once they open their (much more powerful) LLM.
I (half-jokingly, half-serious) refer to myself as a naive pessimist: I expect the worst then I'm continually surprised when I get it. It's not about being overly (and overtly) negative, but more your perspective on risk & mitigation. If you are a pessimist like me I would caution you to not surround yourself with many other pessimists, as there's definitely a tendency to ride the junk food high of the downward spiral when we congregate.

> LLMs can't and will never be able to do these things because, as I've already said, they are completely derivative.

I agree, they are completely derivative. And so are you and I. We have copied everything we know, either from other humans or from whatever we have learned from our simple senses.

I'm not asking you to bet that LLMs will do any of those things really, I suppose it's not a guarantee that anything will improve to a certain point. But I am cautioning not to bet heavily against it because, after witnessing what this generation of LLM is capable of, I no longer believe there's anything fundamentally different about human brains, so, to me, it's like asking if an x86-64 PC will ever be able to emulate a PS5. Maybe not today, but I don't see any reason why a typical PC in 10 or 15 years would have trouble.

Regarding guarantee that it will work correctly, there are ways to reduce the ambiguity in the task given. One way is to input very detailed descriptions of your end schema. This limits the amount of assumptions our model has to make. In addition, you can define tests either by writing SQL code on Lume, or by explaining in plain English the tests the final data has to pass (and edit them, of course). Our models make sure the end data passes these tests, guaranteeing your desired outcomes. We also offer versioning and backtesting capabilities, so you can have more confidence in your deployments. You can also review the sample data + the sql used to guarantee Lume drafted the integration you desired.

With regards to where your data is stored, technically we only need your schema information for our models and everything is run on your cloud, which some customers prefer for privacy / safety. That being said, the ability to sample source data or test the end schema, which does require some data read access, will improve your experience with Lume. In these cases, we of course have contractual agreements with our customers.

Because if they had all done it then, the crisis would have happened at that time instead of this one. For any mass-liquidation, you can always ask, "well why didn't you beat the rest of the market to dumping this trash?" It's a problem in any bubble.
Nah, I get what you're saying but not in this case. All of my history was replaced too. My actual history was displaying before it did this, all already had titles.

There was definitely a glitch of some sort in any case.
I called the police on the police for reckless driving in Canada and they were pulled over promptly. RCMP really doesn't like it when their reputation is soiled by 'the locals'.
