They acquired Primephonic [0], an app and streaming service geared exclusively towards Classical music, a couple years ago. This month, they are launching Apple Music Classical [1], which is basically a separate app and experience from Apple Music that is geared toward listening to classical music, likely built from Primephonic. Classical is included with an Apple Music subscription.
As you note, classical music has a distinctly different metadata structure than popular music, and the typical “Artist - Title - Album” structure in most streaming apps completely fails basic UX for classical music.

Yeah photo is leagues less buggy than designer. That said, I've had random crashes with Photo in the past too.
The study didn't say they will all simply lose their job? Did you just read the headline and assume "80% of jobs will be impacted by GPT" means they lose their jobs?

Impacted doesn't mean completely automate either, it can just be assisting, improving efficiency, better quality, etc. Of the 80% impacted they said GPT can help with only 10% of their work activities on average. So unless the other 90% of their job was doing nothing and GPT isn't automating the 10% I don't think they'll have to worry too much.

I don't think he is literally saying that recruiters will copy-paste, he is saying that they will scrape the page and come up with a similar request to GPT-4 to the one he made manually.
Hmm.. don't people tend to borrow against their houses? If housing prices fall 10-20%, people with poor risk management might get effectively margin called, forcing them to liquidate, which becomes a contagion event.

I think you may be responding to something I didn’t write. I’m asking for some kind of evidence or reasoning that speaker transient response has the kind of importance people ascribe to it, or plausibly could have this kind of importance.
The court will force you to come back into compliance with the license. The GPL says that if you distribute binaries, you must distribute source. There are two different ways to comply with that. You can start distributing source, but you can also stop distributing binaries.
Isn't that an invalid cron expression? It has six fields instead of five, and says to run at the 30th hour of the day.
No. I have an app that uses both. You do not have to implement chat.

All you have to do is 1) call the chat completion API, 2) structure your prompt in JSON as system+agent+user, and 3) get the completion from a different JSON node. You don’t have to round trip or maintain context or anything.
It only needs to be released by one entity. Better to figure out what to do when it inevitably arrives, rather than trying (and failing) to avoid the eventuality.

Agreed, but apart from the novelty factor I'm not sure what the practical use is of ChatGPT passing the bar exam. In fact I think it's a good thing that it can't do well in any future tests as its likely to be used by the unscrupulous

I got a similar but incorrect result from ChatGPT: "So, the expression "0 30 5 * * 3" means that the command should be executed at 5:30 AM on the 5th day of every month, but only if that day is a Wednesday"

However, the crontab is invalid. It has five fields instead of six, and the 30 corresponds to the hour field.

"30 5 * * 3" without the leading zero, would correspond to run every Wednesday at 5:30 AM though. I suspect the fact that it has six fields instead of five is confusing it, and it's interpreting the 5 as a day of the month and as the hour
> Inflation happens when businesses broadly raise prices.

Unless you are proposing that every company in the world is secretly conspiring together to raise prices, I assume you agree with me that the actual source of the increase is the huge influx of money supply that governments created and injected into the economy.

Businesses will absolutely adjust their prices to whatever the market will pay. However, they are dependent on (or follow) inflation for the actual pricing numbers.

One of the major US issues was that the vast majority of the $6,100,000,000,000 in funding the last couple years that was added to the money supply was given to the wealthy via ownership in companies. They used it to purchase commodities, houses, stocks, and many other assets causing the producers of those assets to raise prices to adjust for the inflated money supply.

This means we see houses doubling when really, money supply doubled and our purchasing power halved.
Blackrock mostly sells investment products (although they also own houses through their REIT). Are you sure you don't mean Blackstone? Are you saying that Blackrock owns a stake in most competitors through its index fund holdings?

• enhance collective human wisdom

• promote peace

• distribute knowledge and wisdom

• allocate talent/capital for human/animal/plant flourishing

• fill hearts with inspiration, fear, laughter, anger, melancholy, etc.

• create tools for creators

• support useful people

The same for me.

I went into physics thinking I would be working with state of the art quantum mechanics powered magic technology (watching Stargate and other scifi shows as a teenager heavily influenced this). Instead I ended up in finance.

Life in any kind of research is just too hard.
Fair. What would you say?
I know right? They expected me to go over 3 rounds of interviews that spanned over 2 months and wait a couple more weeks for them to decide, and that was ok.

But asking for 1 week to decide if I'm gonna leave behind everything I know (home, country, jobs, friends, etc.), was too much to ask I guess.
How do you know that the research you’ve conducted is accurate, rather than just precise?
> Home affordability is mean-reverting and the only way for it to revert is waaay higher incomes or lower home prices. I'll bet on lower home prices.

Yes and no. It is or can be mean-reverting in the short term but not in the long-term else we have a deflationary economy which would be a disaster and we'd do anything to prevent it.

> Again, just because we don't yet know the trigger which will cause this doesn't really matter.

I think you're starting from a conclusion and working your way backward. It's no different than "the market will crash again at some point we just don't know why". You need to identify the trigger and then draw the conclusion. Not the other way around.

BTW I see arguments for and against the general claim about mortgage defaults and it blowing up again.

For - housing prices are way to high, banks bought mortgage-backed securities with rates that are too low, layoffs mean defaults, etc.

Against - ongoing supply chain issues, housing supply is severely constrained everywhere in the country, low interest loans from those who keep their homes prevent them from moving, etc.

but this is all surface level. Need specifics to draw meaningful conclusions.
I don’t know what that means. This is what GPT says. Is it correct?

To me this makes intuitive sense, but are the only options 250k or infinity?

What's the "magic" behind that $250k number? Is there some reason to expect that this is an optimal number? I feel like maybe it's cargo-culting - it isn't even re-adjusted for inflation is it?

I love the idea of never having to work another day in my life, but, lets be honest here, UBI is never going to happen. At most it will be "if you are having no kids, here is some money until you die." Even that will be a stretch because money just does not grow on trees.
Just take a look at /r/SiriFail and you'll see it does a lot of what you're saying already.
I think one of the biggest problems with work these days is that so much of it doesn't help people feel like they're contributing anything meaningful to society. I think if large swathes of people had much more free time and no less capital I like to think we would find lots of projects that would feel like they benefit society. A community housing development project for example, where people use Monday and Tuesday to help build new houses in their community. Or maybe getting together and spending half a day cooking a huge meal for the neighbourhood each week. Thats the kind of world I want to live in.
Thanks for sharing. It's not abstruse at all, I guess I just didn't consider checking facts and perspective as "talking about a problem." There have certainly been times in my life when I've asked someone I trust and admire if I was missing something, had done something wrong or to help me come up with a plan of action.

Part of what shapes my experiences is that there are people in my life who have come to me to "talk about something" and when I offer them practical advise or an alternative perspective they either don't follow it or, worse, they get dismissive. As if solving the problem was not what they wanted, they just wanted to talk for the sake of talking.

Talking for the sake of talking is something that I have little patience for, as I can't relate to the "need", nor do I like listening to people talk in general (I might even go as far as to classify it as a form of misophonia since speaking voices actually bother me). For that reason, I don't really like talking much in general. The "return on investment" in terms of effort spent vs reward gained has just never worked out all that favourably.

But if we're talking about seeking out alternative perspectives, checking assumptions and beliefs and crafting action items then yes I've done that lots and would encourage everyone to seek that from time to time :)

It literally does the opposite.

If it makes any difference, the information I got was from ex-USSR citizens who went through the process as kids and then raised their kids in the US system. It's been corroborated by both Russian professors (of the Russian language) and engineers in the aerospace industry.
Ok, assuming that the 11T jump (from 5T to 16T) in May 2020 was entirely due to an accounting change, that still puts us at over roughly 10T today by the former accounting. Or a doubling in 3 years.

Coincidentally there’s been a rough doubling in the size of the Fed’s balance sheet, with a familiar spike in 2020.

A good benchmark provides a strong quantitative or qualitative signal that a model has a specific capability, or does not have a specific flaw, within a given operating domain.

Each part of this difficult -- identifying/characterizing the operating domain, figuring out how the empirically characterize a general abstract capability, figuring out how to empirically characterize a specific type of flaw, and characterizing the degree of confidence that a benchmark result gives within the domain. To say nothing of the actual work of building the benchmark.

What is even reality, and how do you even define real? We wear special clothes on special occasions, is that fake? because we don't wear those clothes normally. Why waste time and money on "real" professional head-shots when we can get them done for much cheaper price.
Not really. The problem there is more sector-wide capacity, not competition - companies have no incentive to drop prices in order to get more business because they're already selling as much as they can produce even at inflated prices and all their competitors are the same - and so long as that capacity problem is still there, it doesn't really matter how many companies it's divided up across.

As far as I can tell, the claims about unchecked corporate pricing power being to blame are only about the steps after that and the companies further down the supply chain that rely on the bottlenecked sectors for their inputs, either directly or indirectly. The argument is that unchecked pricing power, a lack of competition and the knowledge that their competitors are facing the same cost increases allows companies to pass on the costs in full or even pad out prices further and increase their profits.

(Also, a lot of the capacity issues are in fossil fuel production, which the mainstream media and activist investors have been campaigning to further reduce capacity in by trying to end new investment to replace declining wells - and telling people that the only downsides of this are for fossil fuel companies whose profits will reduce. Then they blamed corporate greed when this actually had the effect that basic economics said it would.)

Elon Musk's tweets on COVID-19 are that it's a conspiracy in general and will disappear in April 2020.

Which is absolutely a right wing conspiracy theory and fully debunked.

I'm not sure how extreme you realize Mr. Musk has been with his tweets. We aren't at Wuhan Lab theory here, Musk has tweeted much much worse.
I don’t think anyone was telling tradespeople to learn to code. It was more like liberal arts people working at coffee shops. But even so, tradespeople should pray that white collar jobs don’t go away, because otherwise their market will explode with supply and their prices will plummet.

> Ukraine (the most corrupt country in eastern Europe)

Belarus? Russia? Moldova? Albania? No?

> a blank check (not a loan) for administrative salaries, women, and vodka.

Women have mostly become refugees because, you know, their country was invaded by a genocidal maniac and his army are committing a bunch of war crimes. Vodka there is little because russians have been stealing farming equipment (alongside the washing machines and toilets).

No, the real reason Ukraine needs as much help as it can get is because it was invaded by a bigger country and it's very existence is at stake. If one has any moral compass, supporting Ukraine is a no brainer, otherwise one is just supporting a genocide either directly (like trolling online) or indirectly through indifference.

> What your energy look describes is dT/dt, how quickly we will reach the new equilibrium.

The rate is important, but so is the final result. A system whose new equilibrium is +10C is as useless to humanity and life and earth whether we reach it in 25 years or 200.

I agree with you that ∆T is more useful for thinking about actual effects (e.g as you noted glacial melt), but my interest in thinking about it in energy terms is (a) I think it highlights the cause more strongly (YMMV) (b) it better accomodates the possibility of the extra energy in the system having effects not so obviously correlated with ∆T
We develop, configure and manage software products for US financial institutions.

The amount of information describing just one of our customers' needs would easily overrun any practical context window. Also, the cost of running maxed-out prompts 24/7 is definitely untenable at our scale per current OpenAI pricing models.

It's not like we need a ridiculous amount of context, but 32k tokens is definitely not enough. We are currently experimenting with fine-tunes of davinci & curie. Already seeing good progress with training runs as small as 200k tokens. We are going to take this up 2 orders of magnitude over the next few weeks.
>The question is why they are able to raise prices now to levels they couldn't before, and as always the answer is a mix of government-created moats and monetary inflation.

The study authors have a different answer about why than you do, though. What they are claiming is that in concentrated markets (like most markets are), shocks like the pandemic allow for firms to raise prices beyond their increased costs, and so increase profits. They have a very interesting graph of after tax profit margins showing that firms in the US are more profitable now than they have been for 70 years, in fact.

But only one of those is a case where the federal reserve starts to take action. The degree to which this 6% inflation is treated as an emergency vs the 10% unemployment after '08 is eye opening.

It feels like this is really about disciplining labor, particularly in big tech.

ALSO: if you're willing to put on your tinfoil hat, the SIVB collapse could have potentially reduced competition for top talent in tech in order to continue to drive down prices.
We have limited competition and call it a free market, when really it is a duopoly or oligopoly in many cases. In cloud, 66% of the market is held by 3 players.
