That's not the point. The point is if you truly want to test its strength, you'll have to control for these things. Maybe do things like invent a new form of notation and/or deliberately go into uncharted territory. Maybe start with a non-standard starting position even. Or play chess960 against it.

In theory if I was playing a 1200 player I would almost always win, but let's say they have some extremely devious preparation that I fell into due to nonchalance and by the time we're both out of book I'm down a queen. It might not matter that I'm 600 points stronger at that point. If they don't make a sufficient amount of errors in return I will lose anyway.

I made this project because I spend more time surfing the web than I put aside to study my [target foreign language]... (and to learn some javascript).

So, I wanted something that would help me learn vocabulary throughout the day. This extension converts random words from whatever webpage I'm looking at into a foreign translation, while still giving me control over the quantity of words transformed and which vocab words. The main idea rests upon an idea one may find disturbing: Purposefully intermixing a language one doesn't know in with another, without regards for grammar or "mental bucketing" between languages.

This should be used in conjunction with a real language course, as one should understand the structure and grammar etc. of their target language before trying to learn from my extension. On its own I still find it valuable in that it accomplishes two things:
1) it provides you a way to use the context of what you're reading to guess at vocabulary (like motivated flash cards), in subjects that you're more likely to want to know about, and
2) it keeps your attention on learning the foreign language, by consistently reminding/prodding you that you still have more to learn. Maybe it will keep you in a state of very slight guilt that you aren't using your time to study more "properly".

I would love it if you could give it a look, and let me know what you think; if it's intuitive, has value and a "niche", or if it's just not very useful in the real world.

The extension is written in plain javascript. All computation is done locally. There are no calls to servers or data collection. I scraped translation data from wiktionary.org with python, which is then kept in local text files. If wiktionary doesn't include a translation for a given word (or, provides gratuitous translations), then that will be reflected in the extension. The translations are strictly unigram translations. This can lead to some pretty funny outcomes, but in general they seem to work surprisingly well. Keeping it computationally lightweight and cost free is fairly important to me, so I've had to make some quality sacrifices. (Maybe the next thing to do to improve translation quality would be to parse a grammar tree, and restrict translated words to equivalent parts of speech. But in that case might as well go all the way and use neural translations). As its roll is to function as a flashcard app, I haven't been too concerned about erroneous translations.

Features:
Users can click through translated words to reveal one that works well for the context. Clicking and holding on a word will open up wiktionary's page on that word, which includes declension, conjugation, pronunciation, and historical information. There is also a "Quiz Mode" which has you type in the word, instead of simply being told it.

This is GPT4, right? Because ChatGPT (GPT-3) still fails to provide a legal game of Tic Tac Toe with this prompt:

It failed to recognize that I won.

Then continued playing (past the end), played illegally over a move I had already done, obtained a line of 3 for itself, and still doesn't acknowledge the game has ended.

One of the more amusing anecdotes I heard about the dilution debate was from a Scotch brand rep talking about an event where he's talking to their master distiller. The distiller got a glass of one of their whiskies neat, then just splashed a random amount of water from his drinking glass into it. He said that the major league experts tended to not be terribly fussy unless they were doing a tasting.

Probably the most dramatic demonstration I've ever had with dilution was with an Amrut cask strength single malt. It's downright boring neat, but over ice it opens up with peaches and pistachios and has since become one of my favorites for a hot day.
I asked ChatGPT if it has any technological applications. No ideas if its just bullshitting

Retrocausality, or the idea that events in the future can influence events in the past, is a concept that challenges our conventional understanding of time and causality. Although it is an intriguing concept that arises in some interpretations of quantum mechanics, it is important to note that there is currently no experimental evidence supporting retrocausality.

As a result, it is difficult to predict how retrocausality could be influenced or used in technology, since we have no concrete examples of retrocausality occurring in the physical world. However, we can speculate on how such technology might work if retrocausality were indeed possible.

Communication: If retrocausality were real, it could potentially be harnessed for faster-than-light communication or even communication with the past. Such technology might allow us to send messages or information backward in time, which could have a significant impact on how we understand and interact with our own history.

Computing: Retrocausal computing could theoretically be used to perform complex calculations more efficiently by taking advantage of future outcomes or solutions to influence the computational process in the past.

Energy production: If retrocausality could be controlled, it might be possible to harness energy from future states of a system and use it to power devices or processes in the past.

However, it is important to reiterate that these applications are purely speculative and based on the assumption that retrocausality is a real phenomenon. Until there is experimental evidence supporting retrocausality or a more comprehensive understanding of how it might work, it is unlikely that we will see any practical technologies utilizing this concept.

I'd wager TS/node/etc going the way of PHP and JQuery in the next decade. SPA will go full WASM (which you could technically use Java for) and non-SPA will be built off better browsers (e.g. WebKit adding nested CSS) and HTMX-style solutions. Note that it doesn't mean everyone will be rolling their own WASM-based engine, but that there will be a bunch of public WASM-based engines (like PyScript/Pyodide stuff) that are tailored for specific domains than one-size-fits-all React.

This leaves "full stack JS" in an awkward middle ground. Sure, you could still use it on your backend (like PHP), but why?

We use JS because there were literally no other practical options, but better browsers and WASM are providing new options.
Propellers are quite fragile things. If you hit a traffic cone with one on a small trainer aircraft, it's unairworthy immediately and requires an inspection of the propeller and engine.

Same experience for my team a couple years back. We hated the idea of changing everything to hooks, then we actually started using them and fell in love. So much complexity fell out of our code we couldn't justify sticking with class components.

Having said that, there are some gotchas with hooks that aren't trivial and can make them difficult to use/understand without significant comments. But hey, what code doesn't fit that description?

I think my time frame was off; my Cubing was probably more like 1982 when I was 10. In my recollection, Rubik's brand was the best-constructed model around. The off-brand cubes were stiffer, plus they had the wrong colours. Perhaps it has all reversed since then.
And this is from a programmer that is not happy with Scala. Every single time I've upgraded the compiler there is a breaking change. They don't strictly follow semver. Most recently upgrading from the 2.11 to 2.13 compiler they made breaking serial version uid changes (I know don't use java serialization, but that wasn't my decision) and none of it was noted in the release notes.

When it comes to super complex just look at any of the type signatures of the standard library for collections:

Comparing this to Java it is "super complex". IntelliJ can't even figure out the types sometimes.

At least a couple of distilleries I visited in KY recommended trying bourbon neat, with a drop or splash of water, and on the rocks. Each variant gives a slightly different expression of the spirit. So that’s at least an “official” warrant for the idea that it’s not ruining the whiskey. The same goes for scotch. Some whiskeys are just more interesting when diluted a bit. (And, in fact, I think the youngest Laphroaig used to contain a suggestion on the bottle that it should be consumed in a 50/50 ratio so as not to overwhelm the palate with peat smoke.)

I find the “whiskey should only be consumed neat” crowd to have the same gatekeeping mindset as the “coffee should only be drunk black” crowd. If that’s how you like it, great, but it’s not a general rule for how these libations ought to be consumed, much less a marker of how “hardcore” you are as a drinker of them.

> ChatGPT: Yes, that’s a good move for you. My next move is: Bc3, developing my pieces and attacking your pawn on c3.

I am 1400 Elo and can tell you that from an near opening position, its impossible to move a Bishop to c3 for either Black or White in the first say, 10 moves, under traditional openings.
No you obviously don't lol
I don't know about Cuda, but with PyTorch it's quite possible. The solution should generalize to any code that loads into memory created by malloc(). You'd obviously be capturing a lot of superfluous Python objects in your mappable model file, but given the size of these things it should be comparatively minor.
It's not a "fighter jet speed" collision, since the drone is travelling at drone speed. It's the difference, which seems fairly small.

The US military said there was a collision, and with this video there seems no reason to doubt them.

I'm sure the MuZero chess policy network would reach much higher than 1400, and that has no notion of recursion either. (And also wasn't taught the rules explicitly)
The article points out that the way that game was conducted was bad. (Here's the original transcript: https://pastebin.com/X6kBRTa9)

You need to give ChatGPT the full state (every move) on every prompt to make it play closer to 1400. The game you linked the user was giving one move at a time.
No, that was not the point at all.

The point is that ChatGPT understands the code well enough to explain what it does, and so there's reason to wonder how soon someone leverages that in a disassembler to produce far better output to the point where using releasing "only" the binary as an obfuscation mechanism stops being viable.

E.g. additional value would be comments about purpose, labels for function entry points that makes sense for what the function does, labels for data that makes sense for what is stored there, comments with explanations of why things are structured the way they are.

Having reverse engineered programs from binary in the past, inferring good names and commenting the sources is the vast majority of the effort.
I don't dismiss them. I think there's a huge potential in LLMs, but they _also_ happen to be really good at generating plausible, difficult to detect bullshit.

Now, people seem to miss or ignore that fact, and I think is a very risky path.

I'd say that ca. 8/10 founders who pitched to me an idea leveraging LLMs completely missed that limitation. An example would be something like using LLMs as a replacement for therapy.

> How this is dismissed because it’s not 100% perfect (might at add, “yet”) is beyond me.

Again, I'm not dismissing them, but the current tech behind GPT or LLaMA has no concept of "correctness". These models don't understand what they're saying and this is not a trivial issue to fix.

> I struggle to see how even the current GPT-4 is any worse than your average human.

Where, how, and what do you mean by worse? I'm pretty sure there are cases where I'd agree with you, but this is a very broad statement.

So it sounds like it can play _some_ legal chess games, but not all; it's unable to consistently complete a game where it loses. Maybe the remaining work shouldn't be focused on trying to teach it chess rules better, but to teach it sportsmanship better. People were so excited about teaching it high-school level academics that we forgot to teach it the basic lessons we learn in kindergarten.
Well, to this non-aviator, the flying as shown is immensely impressive. I mean, a jet approaching a drone heads-on and turning a few yards away?

The feed likely wasn’t from the primary sensor, UAVs have engineering and TOAL cameras that are far lower quality than their primary sensor electro optic package.

Also I believe the drone itself was configured for a SIGINT/SAR mission so it would have an SAR pod and a bunch of antennas instead of an electro optic sensor payload.

They don't really have an answer, which is why they're freaking out.

> I don't take lightly to suggestions that we enact police states, highly authoritarian government controls, and other state or capital extremes that I've seen that community / the alignment folks advocate for as you can find when you look past their concern and fears

What comments are you thinking of? And what solution would you advocate for in a scenario where creating superhuman AGI that kills everyone is much easier (and probably the default) than creating superhuman AGI that doesn't (basically how do you avoid prisoner's dilemma-esque scenarios given how much power AGI gives its makers right before it kills them)?
> You need to give ChatGPT the full state

If I've been given the full state every move, I will _never_ make an illegal move as a 1400 chess player.

-----------

> O-O
> I'll play O-O as well. Your move.

Do you really think that this error would have been made at 1400 Elo? Even in blind chess? This is the 5th move of the game. I can still track the game at this point mentally.

I recognize that you're 1900 and think that all the chess players below you are n00bs, but... come on. 1400 players are stronger than this.
With enough marbles, the discrete distribution behaves like a continuous distribution. The point probability of a continuous distribution is infinitely improbable -- in other words it is 0.

My bourbon drinking friends think it is unethical to add water or ice. The local bourbon groups on Facebook will roast someone with ice or water in their glass.
