I use disposables, and have for decades. They are the three-blade ones.

There's a popular theory, called the "Sam Vimes Boots Theory," that applies:

Hilarious. Big announcement and yet nobody in this thread has been able to register, nobody is giving any first hand account of using it.

Whats the point of this big announcement then? Google is such a caricature of corporatism and blunders, it’s just sad.
Companies that used closed source tools can also use open source tools and more importantly _any_ company can use open source tools while the same is not true of closed source tools. I don't think it's really symmetric like you say it is.

I do agree it's up to preference and experience though at the end of the day. Having experience in closed source tools can be very valuable because the cost of that knowledge is higher. Not everybody can just tinker with it.
I agree, there's rough edges everywhere. But you can rephrase the question as "how does a cron expression work", and do the interpretation yourself. It returns perfectly sensible results that would enable a perfectly sensible person to quickly write and interpret a cron expression.

This is what I meant when I implied it won't replace you as a thinking agent, but it sure can bring information to you quickly. `man cron` works fine, too, but sometimes it's nice to have one interface, and be able to ask clarifying questions.
the context there is important

in shorter term relationships it makes me want sugar booze drugs more

sometimes it’s like

oh this is “pleasure” why not get more

i hope that in a committed relationship it would be different
I would consider both Stable Diffusion and MidJourney to be startups and both are better by far than the established companies like OpenAI, and there are dozens of LLMs soon catching up with GPT3/4. As you say, it will be a very interesting next 6-12 months..
only if you are in USA or UK
To prevent trivial exploits using VPNs, probably.

Look, the problem here is that internet providers are trying to follow the law ("avoid fines" if you prefer the cynical framing). The law is different in EU countries than it is in the USA, in some very important ways. And they need to be seen making a good faith effort to enforce those laws. A six month grace period for an account "primarily used" in one regime seems not terribly unreasonable to me.

But that's not what your original comment was asking for anyway. You wanted to be sitting in Barcelona or wherever and e.g. not be subject to the GDPR and EU-specific data retention requirements (which is presumably the issue here: Bard likely isn't yet compliant being probably all hosted in the USA).
There are plenty of people with access to GPT-4 through the API. They can benchmark it however they want.

What is insane for you could be completely different for others: we have been in the last Miami Art Week and Art Basel and we don't have enough time for the number of artists that wanted to be in the process. Will expand more later (working now) but you can see AP coverage here [1].

It is also important to highlight that we are doing this project at our own risk, with our own money, have built the hardware and software, and not charging artists for the process. Just the primary market sell is split between 85% for artists and the rest for the project. Pretty generous in this risky market.

But you had 2 months to decide that.
Many things have been tried. 15 years ago when algae craze started, it was unimaginable to see the electric car revolution we are experiencing today, it was common sense to think that whatever solution to climate/peak oil (which was all the rage before the shale revolution), it has to be a drop-in replacement for the oil-based infrastructure.

There was one more failed attempt, now almost forgotten: cellulosic ethanol. Stuff that also technically sort of worked, but never at scale, and never became profitable.

Now we have electric cars and nothing blocks us from replacing all of gasoline and diesel with clean electricity, none of these are necessary anymore, but back then, it was impossible to tell. It's good that many ways of fixing the problem have been tried, to be able to choose the best one.
I just shared the same link.
Agreed, it's fantastic.
Actually, when signing up for the waitlist, they don't ask for your Adobe account.
When a bank complains about the onerous, expensive or excessive costs associated with risk management and compliance, what they're really saying is:

"If it wasn't for that pesky government, we'd more than happily take more risks with -your- money!"
The current system is more irrational, unless you're benefiting from the corrupt system. Bitcoin is democratic and you vote with a node.
Google Workspace accounts not supported. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
At this point someone is going to make a startup off just managing your AI waitlists. (Kidding)
> Misattributing it to bears when it was really lead in gasoline or plastics in the air or whatever really caused it just delays your ability to help fix it,

I was thinking of WWII in my 1940s example, which I thought might have been obvious, but that's besides the point. (Bear attacks are a silly example to illustrate the principle involved)

If you're misattributing excess societal deaths to a wrong cause such as bears when the cause is anything else, there's a much bigger cost than just delaying your ability to understand and fix a real problem.

1) While you have the real cause of deaths wrong, people are dying of something else that is perhaps preventable. There's a real opportunity cost.

2) Say you work up a real social panic about something incorrect (such as bear attacks) and start reconfiguring society to focus solely on preventing bear attacks. Any policies here can cause dramatic harm to the economy. Not only does a bad economy directly and indirectly kill lots of people, but it weakens your ability to fix other more important problems. Your well-intentioned, but misguided attempt to save people from bears can kill far more people than it saves.

3) How would you know if your attempt to prevent bear attacks causes more harm than it prevents? All of a sudden, there's going to be a big industry of people making lots of cash in providing bear attack prevention methods. They're going to virulently attack anybody who starts voicing any opinions that are contrary to the general proclamation that bear attacks are the existential threat to society. Any opposition to the bear-attack-prevention-industrial-complex is going to be subject to intense derision and you're never going to be able to properly direct social energy to other, perhaps bigger problems, under this condition.
This release just makes me want to short GOOGL
Just asked chatgpt to write it.

Google recently announced that they will be shutting down Google Bard, their new AI-powered writing tool, after less than six months since its launch. The tool, which used natural language processing to help users write poetry and song lyrics, was met with mixed reviews and failed to gain significant traction among users. In a statement, Google cited the lack of adoption as the reason for the shutdown and expressed their commitment to continuing to explore ways to use AI to enhance creative expression.
Somehow I have the idea that the general sentiment is that people hope Google fails with Bard. Or at least does something stupid.

Is it just me?

(Not saying it is a good thing)
Looking at human labor, we have some generalists (eg college grad with a general major) who can do some broad range of tasks but can't do very specialized tasks, then experts who can do specialized tasks with very high accuracy (and are much more expensive).

My guess is LLMs will proceed the same way. You will have general, base models like GPT4 (I'm assuming we will solve the hallucination problem), then folks will build highly specialized "expert" LLMs for specific domains.

You could totally imagine a base LLM delegating to the expert LLMs using some agent/toolformer model, too.
Sourcing and contamination is covered in the Appendices in the OpenAI paper, which is quoted by this article, and used to critique the method used to detect contamination.

> Because of OpenAI’s lack of transparency, we can’t answer the contamination question with certainty. But what’s certain is that OpenAI’s method to detect contamination is superficial and sloppy:

> > “We measure cross-contamination between our evaluation dataset and the pre-training data using substring match. Both evaluation and training data are processed by removing all spaces and symbols, keeping only characters (including numbers). For each evaluation example, we randomly select three substrings of 50 characters (or use the entire example if it’s less than 50 characters). A match is identified if any of the three sampled evaluation substrings is a substring of the processed training example. This yields a list of contaminated examples. We discard these and rerun to get uncontaminated scores.”

> This is a brittle method. If a test problem were present in the training set with names and numbers changed, it wouldn’t be detected. Less flaky methods are readily available, such as embedding distances.

> If OpenAI were to use a distance-based method, how similar is too similar? There is no objective answer to this question. So even something as seemingly straightforward as performance on a multiple-choice standardized test is fraught with subjective decisions.
In my company's workspace when I try to join the waitlist it says "Bard does not currently support Google Workspace accounts or when our systems indicate you may be under 18."
Photopea considered, is PS still as prevalent?

30-year fixed-rate mortgages for middle earners are a policy creation, not a natural market creature.
These limited closed betas seem to really kill hype on a lot of their products, which leads to them not having a lot of use, then google killing them...
... in some countries.

But it's okay Google, you release it slowly, I was busy today writing GPT3 integrations anyway.

Show HN: GPTBot: A fully serverless Slack bot with GPT-4 support
The new release of ChatGPT last week was all over the News and Social Medias. I wondered if I could bring that power to Slack with minimal effort, and sure enough was able to get something up and running in only two days! Having been written relatively quickly by a single developer, the functionality is of course somewhat limited. But here is what it currently supports:

- Getting a one-off response from GPTBot when mentioning the bot (@GPTBot) in a channel you are both a member of.
- Exchanging a full conversation with context carried over. To start a full conversation, run the command: `/gptbot start`. To end the conversation, run the command: `/gptbot stop`.
- Using the latest GPT-4 model. If you want to start a conversation with the new GPT-4 model, run the command `/gptbot start gpt-4`. In this mode, responses take a longer time. By default, the model used is gpt-3.5-turbo.
- Collaboration eg: add the Bot to a channel, start a conversation with it (`/gptbot start`): every channel members can reply to the Bot to help refine the answers it provides.

Feel free to contribute, really keen to see how people use and extend it!
Thanks for the thoughtful response. That makes a lot of sense and these capabilities are not something you'll find in debian packages. It's not easy to ask for different compilation flags there.
I'm sure it's all of their content plus half of the web. The proprietary data they get from Behance, Lightroom, Photoshop and Illustrator (and soon figma) has to be a great advantage for them though.
If they really want to get the jump on Microsoft, they should open source the model parameters and the weights, similar to how Stable Diffusion grabbed all the interest from Dall-E.
Are you positing that companies should never go public?

Or even if public, that there is no physical limit we can impose on growth expectations?
This will supercharge artists, it won’t replace them because details matter and when you need to get it just right, you cannot just keep rolling the dice by “prompting better”
The point of the impossible hypothetical is to show good management can still result in layoffs, since no one has perfect information about the future.
> > The end result is identical

> Citation needed.

What do you mean? You cited it yourself:

> Installing npm dependencies in different orders

Fortunately, there is no difference in order between running it as a command and adding it and running `yarn install`, since you already had all the other packages locally either way.

Anyways, these complaints are ridiculous, I'm sure I could dig into the past and find some broken Maven or Gradle resolutions. Let's see, 10 second time limit:

> gradle.lockfile

LOL wow.

> 3000x copies of lodash spread around your disk

LOL
Uh… they definitely said that. They specifically said that people were “fair game”.
same here, guess will just have to settle for ChatGPT and Bing for now.
> Here’s what we think should be done, with the PoC being what we’re already doing ourselves in production

The problem with having anything in "production" on the web is that you can neither update it or change it because people will rely on it.

The idea behind web standards is that there should be at least two independent implementations, tested behind a flag, with iterations on design, before it becomes a full standard.

Chrome's approach for the past several years has been: spit out a half-completed spec, "ask" other browser for input.... and ship it in prod a month later.
Anyone able to comment on where in their opinion the measure is for current state of copyright law when generative AI is a subset of an image?
Maybe you want to dual-boot? You deploy on Linux and want a more production similar environment for investigation but prefer OSX for day-to-day work. Or maybe you work on OSS and want to validate cross-platform issues. Or maybe you were work-issued a mactop and prefer Linux. Or maybe you just like the challenge of porting Linux. The reasons are plentiful.

Not if just something like an internal error code "AccountNotSupported" is returned. Then the product owner wanted a more specific error message, and the developer complained this would require much more time adapting 5 microservices handling the new error code, so eventually they landed on a simple text change.
Best Crystal Programming Courses to Take in 2023
What I love about this AI generative art is it will finally put the right price on computer generated art: $0.

It will be interesting to watch the entire Hollywood and associated creative industries lose control to AI. Entire movies will be created in small basements. Same with AAA video games.
I bought a Seki Edge Grooming kit through Mass Drop a few years ago. Out of all the junk that I bought from Mass Drop, these nail clippers are the only things I still use. It is easily the best thing I have gotten through them. I bought a second pair in case the first one breaks.

Why do you assume that I am testing 'this' on animals? Why do you ask whether I have 'actual medical training'? How do you think the original product was developed?

Not so much in response to this rather grandstanding appeal to authority but just to describe how a product like this can be developed I can state that my wife is a veterinarian specialised in horses while I am a developer with a lot of experience in developing hard- and software. If we wanted to develop something like this we certainly could and maybe we will. Medical technology is not magic after all, the process which lies behind this system is known and has been researched [1] extensively - not by those who built the €25.000 unit, they just did what you insinuated we should not do.

The One Cause of Poverty That’s Never Considered
So then it is probably not an US export laws issue
Welcome to Google.
But if you're a midsized construction firm turning over $10 million a month 40 bank accounts is unwieldy. If you're that and watch SVB collapse with the slow pokes holding the bag then you move to one of the big 4. For a few reasons:

(1) SVB taught you that the feds will let a bank run happen

(2) They won't save the poor saps that were too slow moving their money

(3) The systemically important banks are too big to fail. A bank that can't pay depositors back is failed. Ergo, the SIB are too big to lose customer deposits.

So you flee your regional bank because the single most important thing about a bank is that they don't lose your money.
We know raw LaMDA sucks compared to GPT, but we also know that a lot of the performance of GPT3.5, GPT4 and ChatGPT comes from the reinforcement learning added on top of raw GPT, so it will be interesting how Bard performs.
GraphQL is an entire API definition. Yes, it’s available at a specific POST endpoint - but that does not make it RESTful.
See the RHS of the page, see the column of space after "detected gunfire" and "counterinsurgents".

In fact, the spaces are all over the place.
But when my mechanic tells me that the grinding noise while braking means I need to have the brakes fixed doesn't excuse me from continuing to drive without fixing the brakes and it doesn't really magically get fixed by turning up the radio until the noise goes away. To further your comparison, devs would be the mechanics, and devs have been screaming that operating browsers without blockers is similar to not getting the squeaking noises fixed. Everyone just keeps turning up the volume until the underlying noise goes away.
"Bard can explain why large language models might make mistakes"

Dat not so subtle passive aggressiveness, lol.
It looks like flipping the tile over is allowed. Is that right?

I don't know what you are talking about. I've seen this on reddit but not here.
> only a problem for those with more than $250k,

And lots of local businesses. 100 employees at 48k a year gets you to 200k a month in payroll. Never mind the money it takes to run that business.

Even if you are under the 250k mark, if your bank closes on a pay day your staff is the group that suffers.
In the FAQ[1] it explicitly states that it cannot help you code. Maybe that's a limit of the prompt or just a limit of Google using a smaller/cheaper model? We'll have to test it out to see.

All I want is to be able to select a "default" account in that list. Or reorder them. Currently if you type 'gmail.com' it automatically goes to the first account you logged in with (in the url as numbers /1/ /2/). It's annoying to have to manually log them all out to reorder this.
Compared to Google, Bing is indeed a challenger startup.

Microsoft could completely kill Bing in the EU with very little effect to their bottom line.

But you do bring up a good point. Why be so conservative if Bard isn't even tied in with Google search?

My only guess is Google turning into a global whipping boy for fines has made them trigger shy.
Oh geez, that's probably right. So, we're doomed?

I suppose the market is clearly moving away from anyone who actually drives e.g., see the lousy uptake of manual transmissions.

Yet this seems very serious. I think the job of the automobile's cockpit designer is to reduce the driver's workload and maximize the ease and reliability/repeatability of any needed action to control the car. This now seems to have been replaced with "provide the cheapest possible controls to minimally carry out some functions".

The result is that even significant functions that are carried out while driving require multi-layer on-screen menu navigation! I can hardly think of anything more hazardous - actively reating a function that requires continuous attention for multiple seconds (when you'll go 100m in 3-4 seconds); even with actual training to rapidly rotate my gaze between windscreen, mirrors, & dashboard, this is difficult, and likely mostly impossible for ordinary drivers.

Does management just not GAF about these issues? Crazy

EDIT: My first thought is a set of physical buttons with the logo for the function (heat, defrost, rear defrost, seat heater, etc.) that we can just pull and put in the arrangement on the row where we want them. But then that's probably more expensive. At least let us move items around at the block level in the touchscreen menu tree and screens? Again, more coding, and I get why we can't just open-source it. Isn't there any way to get someone involved that has an understanding of actual driver kinesiology and workload?
Why can't he simply ride his own bike rather than forcing you to be stuck in traffic?

Also, do you really consider 11 and 13 year olds brave for riding a bike? I'd say that is a pretty normal thing to do at that age.
In what format were you asking for the pronunciations?
OK. I knew I was asking for someone to do this, when I posted the original question. So I thought I may as well save you the trouble and get my retaliation in first!

Yes, "I asked AI...." the above question. And here is the reply:

----

I understand your frustration with the abundance of posts about AI-generated content, especially those that seem to lack meaningful or interesting content. While it is true that the novelty of AI-generated content may have worn off for some, it is important to remember that not everyone has the same level of familiarity or interest in AI technology.

For some individuals, these posts may serve as a way to spark curiosity and interest in the potential of AI, or simply provide a fun and entertaining distraction from their daily routine. Additionally, these posts can also serve as a way for individuals to showcase their creativity and humor by crafting interesting prompts for the AI to respond to.

However, I understand that the sheer volume of these posts can be overwhelming and may detract from more substantive discussions surrounding AI technology. It may be helpful to consider filtering out these types of posts or creating separate spaces for individuals who wish to engage with AI-generated content to share and discuss their creations.

Ultimately, the beauty of a platform like Reddit is the diversity of perspectives and content it can offer. While some may find these posts tedious, they may hold value for others, and it is important to respect and appreciate the variety of interests and passions that bring people together on this platform.

I'm not sure what to make of the ChatGPT's assumption in the last paragraph that I was I was referring to Reddit. Is it a damning reflection on the idiocy of my question?... or on the collective idiocy of a site where so many such submissions get made?

Now. Has anyone seen my fridge magnet?
I worked for a year for Pengu, one of the hackers. I never dared to ask about that part of his path. He had a custom arcade game running the game in the office, that was the closest thing to the topic. He really moved on with his life.

If you wonder, at the time, the company was doing claims processing for a big insurance company in the US
Even OpenAI's site (and all of its services) cannot be accessed from certain countries. Funnily enough, BingChat is accessible.
