Not even advanced programming.

ChatGPT is impressive, but gets many things wrong. If you know what you are doing it's an amazing programming assistant. It makes me noticeably more productive. It may lead someone who doesn't know what they are doing in weird rabbit holes that will lead nowhere however.

One silly example. I was using a library I hadn't use before, and I asked how I could get certain attributes. It gave me an answer that would't compile at all, the imports didn't exist.

Then when I mentioned that it didn't work, it game me a slightly different answer, that also didn't work, and explained that the previous answer was valid for 3.x. in 1.x or 2.x the new answer was the correct one.

But there's the catch. There's no version 3.x. there's not even a 2.x. It's language model just statically got to that conclusion.

Doesn't make it any less impressive to me. It gets things right often enough, or at least points me in a good direction. I effectively learned new things using it. But it can't replace a developer.

Using ChatGPT as if it was General AI is similar to eat a meal using a hammer and a screwdriver as utensils. You can probably do it, but nobody will have a good time.

GPT-4 can barely break the 10th percentile in AP English Literature according to OpenAI. Biological neural networks have a competitive advantage in some areas.
ISPs and web hosting do not need section 230 to protect them from liability specifically because they do not perform content moderation. So removing 230 would not obligate them to begin doing so.
It's not that unusual for a given dollar to be at risk. It's very usual for a particular bank account to have dollars at risk.
Maybe I should try some more Scorsese. Which movie do you recommend? I'll make an exception to my rule for the purpose of education :-)

If he was attempting to do what you describe with TWWS, I think he missed the mark. It seemed to express a a general nihilism rather than some message about how criminals ruin their own lives.

Things that would have made the movie better, in my eyes:

- At least one female character who was more than an object (Bechdel test was failed by a mile)

- Any scene with the perspective of any of the victims (the people whose lives Belfort destroyed are totally out of frame all movie)

- If Belfort's supposedly convincing / charismatic speeches were even slightly persuasive or entertaining (he did not sell me that pen at all)

- Less time wasted with blurry camera stumbling around on drugs

The funny thing is that I loved Catch Me if You Can when I first saw it and went to see TWWS hoping for more of that. So... maybe TWWS was more real. Crime does pay, and financial criminals are not geniuses, just bog-standard douchebags, and they get a slap on the wrist when they're caught and the world keeps spinning. Perhaps THAT is the message.
Didn’t think about the inversion in paying off Credit Suisse shareholders. The entire EU CoCo scheme may have just unraveled.
I did something similar few years ago, while attending the Networking course at the university:

I did choose UDP for the sake of simplicity, and I implemented a very naive protocol, using select to handle I/O.
I also remember that In tried various benchmarks, but the hash implementation that I used failed after 500k inserts or something.
Now, I started to program quite late (after 25 years old), and I mostly do web development, and even if I'm a complete C noob, it was a super funny project!
And if someone would like to take a look at the code and share with me an opinion, it would be great!
Do you see people endorsing the VCP now? Observing that they’re better than the CCP doesn’t count.

Many mutual and building societies (like German Schwäbisch Hall) have a "closed system": they don't borrow/lend the money from/to central bank and open marked, but only from/to their clients. Those are isolated islands, mostly independent from financial system are are immune to crisis happening outside of their closed system...
DACH stands for Germany, Austria, Switzerland.
Actually - that’s a great example. If you go back to the 40s/50s/60s/70s/80s/90s - you’ll see all sorts of grand predictions about how technology will change our lives. And then 20 years go by with very gradual incremental changes. Anyone working in tech realizes that AI has been a work in progress for a long time, it will continue to make in-roads, but is it really going to put us out of work in the next 5-10 years?
The owner will get the money, but the real control will go to the AGI
I think it is reasonable to consider that companies running these models became publishers when they chose what material to train on. As such they elected to re-publish this material. Thus they should be held liable for the output from their model.

>> To be able to follow the grammar of the language chess is to understand chess.

That's interesting. I think you're saying that the rules of chess can be described as a transformation system [1] over the set of strings of chess algebraic notation?

_________

[1] A system of transformation rules, as in transformation grammars. Not as in Transformers. Just a coincidence.
yes, i do. every serious discussion i've heard or article i've read about near-shoring and friend-shoring includes vietnam.

chinese companies also operate factories in vietnam, that's another aspect people just kind of gloss over.
You are confusing the 980 pro and the 990 pro. The 990 Pro had a firmware bug causing largely accelerated wear which was fixed by an update in January. The 980 Pro had a bug in firmware causing the drive to just fail (enter read only mode) after a certain amount of time, this had been fixed for well over a year in firmware but many people didn't update their firmware and so were surprised when the requisite amount of time passed.
The sad reality is the people who hate Assange most now are the ones who loved him for Collateral Murder, because it was damaging to their enemies. Once he released information that was just as accurate, but damaging to their political allies, all bets were off.

Those are the facts.
I certainly think that people who use AI will replace people who don't. People that don't use AI won't be able to keep up, and the gap is only going to get wider. I find the claim that AI will replace jobs outright pretty dubious, it's clickbait.
This is what I'm talking about. Everybody in the comments is doing that thing where "it's not sentient bro, it's just an app that responds to input!" but that's so beside the point. Humans parrot points they heard on HN all the time too. The question is more about how can you be sure it's not sentient based on how it acts, and how can you be sure that someone can't make it sentient by giving it something like a cognition loop?

If you had an LLM that had unlimited chat storage, and gave it multiple containers for things like memories, idle thoughts, daydreams, aspirations, etc, and you had a loop for each of those where it reads information and reasons through it to form those thoughts, then stores those thoughts in certain containers and brings it up in conversation...would you feel bad if you called it a name and it reacted with emotional text? It's still "just an llm" with a bunch of overhead.
The practical end result is an insular ecosystem that tends to rewrite code "in pure Go" rather than reusing existing libraries. To the point where this attitude resulted in the standard library of Go breaking on occasions because they tried to go around libc on macOS and use syscalls directly (which are not guaranteed to be stable).

.NET is the opposite - it was designed from the get-go from cross-language and cross-runtime interop. Back when Java folk still had to struggle with JNI to use anything native, .NET 1.0 had P/Invoke and COM Interop. And now that it has async/await, it's all mapped down to a C-compatible ABI for interop purposes, so you can easily write async code in C# that calls into async code written in C++ that calls back into C# etc.
That would explain for a lack of price/valuation, but asset and liability information should still be available, though?
That's what I'm talking about, you can accuse anyone of "stealth pushing eugenics" with enough text to comb through and a willingness to quote out of context. Heck, plenty of "woke" authors would qualify.

Why him? This went on for years and years before culminating in that NYT article.
China was also much more open and less repressive 10-20 years ago
It took a long time to make stop lights, seat belts, air bags, drivers licenses, or to make it illegal to drive drunk. And with all these laws we still kill 40,000 Americans every year with cars because we don't actually know what we are doing.

I don't think anyone really knows how to regulate this technology at all, nor do I have faith our democracy is even capable of doing so if it did.
Impressive. You managed to not answer any of my questions.

Reddit can and does create echo chambers. But that doesn't mean I wasn't willing to fully acknowledge and concede that this Reddit community was /right/ about this.

Dial back your sensitivity. We're on the same side.
There are a lot of articles about this. Anecdotally we all used it at my place of work, but once the novelty of it wore off, and it's usefulness sorely lacked, most people have gone back to google. Completely anecdotal as I mentioned, but it's been a long time since I couldn't use chatGPT because it was at capacity.

Maybe they managed to increase their iron, maybe their API's lightened the load, but if this was really as revolutionizing as these articles want it to be, wouldn't the load on the services still be going up?

I'm sure it'll get better, but I'm personally sort of unimpressed by it so far. It's very cool that it can pass interview questions and even university level exams, but that's not actually very useful and something you could already do (much slower) if you were really good on a search engine and had the time to do so. I mean, maybe I just really sucked at getting it to work, and there is the part where the free version is still only offering information that is older than 2021, but it really wasn't very useful for me, and not for a lack of trying. Because I really wanted it to do most of my work. Still do, by the way.
>could finally cut out the pesky "translators", i.e. software developers

The fallacy here is that programming is not a process of translation. It is a process of invention. Going from rough or high-level functional requirements to a functioning computer program requires inventing novel logic that has not been invented at any other step. It involves making business decisions that have not been made at any prior step.

Whatever can be categorized as menial "translation", i.e. a step in the business process where no new logic is added or business decision made, has already been automated away - compilers.
You seem to subscribe to the "great man" theory of history, while the people that disagree with you subscribe to a "human dynamics" theory of history (think Hari Sheldon's psychohistory in the Foundation books). You can point at some "great man" in history and say "if it wasn't for this person's actions history would have been different", but over long enough timelines I believe some things are inevitable, given the wider context in a point in time. If Columbus hadn't convinced the Spanish crown to seek new trade routes through the West, some other individual would have enticed another colonialist European power to so, with similar results for native Americans over the following century, for example.

> You must admit that the genesis of a great man depends on the long series of complex influences which has produced the race in which he appears, and the social state into which that race has slowly grown. ... Before he can remake his society, his society must make him.

— Herbert Spencer, The Study of Sociology
All those professions experienced a massive downturn in staff required, but the jobs remained because the technology wasn't good enough that a potential customer could do the high-end tasks by themselves. We're now getting to the point that they can.
Thank goodness it's improving at such a slow pace.
> what it believes the requirements are

It will have to describe these requirements in a way that a human can understand, and verify. The language will have to be unambiguous and structured. A human will need to be able to read that language, build up a mental model, and understand it is correct, or know the way to make corrections. Who do you think that person will be? Hint: it will be a specialist that knows how to think in a structured, logical way.
What's the incentive for AI to share energy resources with humans or even animals? I assume that AI will be driven by selfish ambition and its only interest will be reaching the new heights of its own intelligence.

Trying to support someone’s point that’s literally unfounded seems odd in a discussion about “reality distortion fields.”

People also assumed Bill Gates created DOS because they are misinformed, no reality distortion field required.
[Citation needed]

Is it even possible to distinguish those two cases, or is it just shifting the goal posts / no true Scotsman fallacy? ("Okay, I admit that it can do X, but certainly it can't do Y which is definitely not the same as X because I say so")

I'm pretty sure even GPT3/3.5/4 is perfectly able to spot many simple bugs and vulnerabilities in random code it's asked to review. Is there any reason to doubt that GPT(N+1) is able to do the same for much more subtle bugs in much larger codebases?
Crane is one of the libraries(?) I came across. Couldn’t get it to work on an existing multi-crate workspace project. The crane documentation as-is didn’t provide enough context to debug the errors I saw in the process of trying to muddle through. And then looking further afield ran into all the documentation, bootstrapping issues I alluded to above. Although I don’t doubt I could start a new project the point was to add new capability to existing work, for me.
Are you talking about in-person verification and vouching? Or can it be digitally mediated?

If the former, it looks quite impractical unless there are widely trusted bulk verifiers. E.g., state DMVs.

If the latter, then it all looks quite prone to corruption once bots become as convincing correspondents as the median person.

Rocketry is fun. Those 3D printed munitions are for sure going to be a thing. Also as soon as the first serviceable spec design comes out at least one person is going to blow themselves up. That will be a weird day where the Republican Pro Gun folks will have to legislate or dig in for freedom to own everything up to DIY nukes or whatever, just swing the other direction. That seems more likely than anything. And then the Democrats are going to be frothy to push all sorts of gun control to address it but also get the things they've wanted related to regular guns and then they are going to get into what is involved and they are going to have a really, really hard time solving that problem because you know.... Regulate 3D printers, files anyone can have or transmit, or the material components to make it work which are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Wow. What the internet did to/for us is so weird. We live in a very weird time.

230 doesnt just cover blocking/moderation. I would surmise trigger warnings and nsfw tags count as screening.

>230(c)(1) No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

230(c)(2) goes on to clarify that moderation does not make you speaker of what remains, but that is a subpoint. (c)(1) would still cover everything if (c)(2) didnt exist.

ISP's are definitely covered under the "access software provider" definition, and most assuredly the "interactive computer service" definition.
>The assumption in your post is that the ‘bullshitting’ won’t/can’t be solved within a few iterations.

Because it can't, at least not how chatGPT currently operates.
Is it possible there will be more breakthroughs soon? Sure. But it's also possible that we just made a massive leap and we won't see any major revolutions any time soon

>We are still right at the birth of this technology - assuming this technology takes 30 years to fully mature it’s like we are in 1978 trying to predict the iPhone.

Except we don't know where we are. We might verry well be close to the peak, rather then beginning.
Does Ole remember to cite LibreOffice in the production of that document?
But I expect those shops have a small number of very experienced staff? If you trained at the knee of a master, I'm sure you can soften those adhesives with a heat gun without overdoing it, but it's hard to just box that knowledge up and send it to someone green.
C the core language incl. preprocessor _may_ not allow arbitrary code execution during build.

But in the C ecosystem, there are no build systems with fully declarative configuration. Every project is expected to come with build configuration that is both very ad-hoc / unique to the project, and often includes tens of thousands of lines of unreadable auto-generated boilerplate (e.g. if people commit the later stages of auto-tools, which is common practice) which can run arbitrary code. So in practice C is not better at all.

Also, C still has several ways to do file inclusion from arbitrary paths, as well as ways to cause arbitrary long compile times and object size with tiny source code. Compilation time may be guaranteed to be finite, but it is certainly not bounded.
These "powershell incantations" usually modify the registry or group policy, or delete or replace system files behind the scenes. And from my experience the ones that modify system files often don't persist across system updates.

Nice. How would you go about providing a dynamic list of delgates? Could it work to just give one delegate that can provide a list of delegates with a description of the actions they can perform (then that delegate can query a db and return a list)?

Re-reading, I’m guessing the prompt could also be dynamically generated to include the most relevant delegates.
The louder they say there’s no crisis, the more convinced I am that there is definitely a crisis.
> Africa has no public transport

Africa is not a single country, that is a sweeping statement, and based what I saw on the last time that I was in a particular city in a particular country in Africa, that statement is rubbish.

They were also taking many anti-COVID-transmission measures at the time. What I suspect is that African countries were less naïve about COVID - they had no expectations of being exceptional, of escaping unscathed, and had been impacted by other serious disease outbreaks in living memory, so they had more expectation that it was a real problem, but also one that could be mitigated.
My claim is as simple as the claim that for-profit enterprises are incentivized by profit and will prioritize profit-making activities over not-profit-making activities. If you have even a passing belief in capitalism then you have all the evidence necessary.

Every single doctor (in the US) profits off of handing out treatments. It's a pivotal part of how the economics of medicine works in this country. The entire thing would, quite literally, fall apart if doctors/practices did not profit from handing out treatments.

Note that I am not claiming that doctors are out there prescribing medicine they shouldn't be prescribing just to line their pockets or whatever...you seem to be convinced that I have some sort of negative view of doctors and I don't. What I am saying is that they operate within a system that literally requires them to prescribe medicine in order to stay in business. So given the option of "prescribe medicine, bill insurance, and see the next patient in line" or "suggest a lifestyle change and work with the patient over the course of months and years to monitor those changes"...they all choose the former. AND THAT IS FINE. But to be blind to it is simple ignorance.

Hell, it's what most patients want. Most people go to a doctor for medicine, not lifestyle advice.

> generally they're pressured to see as many patients as possible

That is because this is what maximizes profit for the parent company. It is a business like any other.
I've heard the same thing 15 years ago, when they bailed out UBS. Now, here we are again. They're even invoking emergency law to ship this deal.

I don’t know about “the internet” or even “the web”, but the commercial sites centered on user-generated content (including the entirety of social media, commercial source code repositories, medium/substack, etc. were largely only possible because of it – as well as some of the now faded predecessors of them.)
