Great job on this!

There are a few solutions that exist already, with a similar objective. Okteto and Portainer are OSS comparables. There are a few closed source ones as well.

This space is still fairly nascent though and it's always nice to see more people resonating with the need for this. Note: I have a horse (argonaut.dev) in this race.
It is incapable of reasoning, actually - at least in this case. It has no internal understanding of chess which is why it makes illegal moves.

The claim in the article is that this prompt in particular has a much lower incidence of illegal moves than others.
Considering peanut allergies are ~1:50 - 1:200, that would be a lot of dead infants and I think that would show up in stats and news.
> In fact, it's an arguably more ignorant version of Calvinism, because it requires that one completely dismisses any knowledge they have of probability theory. So it's the "smarter" Calvinism that requires you be ignorant of 20th century mathematical advances.

I entirely fail to see how probability theory means it's impossible for the universe to be deterministic.

Not related to wifi, but Intel broke the IPU6 webcam on Linux also. I have a Dell XPS13 - on the initial Ubuntu they shipped with, it was working, but after a dist-upgrade it stopped. There's lots of traffic out there, with some reports that it started working again with the 6.1 kernel, but on mine (with Dell drivers and 6.2 kernel) it's broken.

There was another Intel related issue with this laptop also; the gpu would freeze/panic intermittently, multiple times a day. This was "fixed" by adding a boot flag in grub to turn off a certain feature, and I think the ultimate fix may be working its way into the kernel currently.

Really not the slick experience I was hoping for with the XPS13. I mostly work on my desktop so it's not the end of the world, but it has me thinking about getting a mac in 5 or so years, assuming Asahi reaches stability.
slight nit: this is true amongst all chess players. amongst professionals and amateurs, 1400 is technically Class C - which is on the lower end of amateurs.

nonetheless, it's cool to see a model 'generally intelligent' enough to beat most players. what's more interesting to me is that according to OP's analysis, GPT4 is worse at Chess than GPT3.5...

Why not just introduce AlphaGo as an API that can be used by chatGPT? So every time you want to do a this type of gaming, you just send a request. I mean, chatGPT sends a request to AlphaGo, but as a user you don't know actually what's happening. But in the background, it happens really fast, so it's just like you are chatting with chatGPT, but using much, much powerful tool to do this kind of things.
You don’t get to 1400 like that. The amount of moves it has to literally remember is stupendous.

Explained by greed pretty easily.
Mostly it didn't make illegal moves though, since illegal moves mean resignation and it won more than it lost.

Making 60 legal moves in a row in one game would be the coincidence of the century unless it had some knowledge of the rules of chess.

> adults in same bathrooms with opposite gender children

Gender-neutral bathrooms aren't some theoretical possibility where we have no idea what would happen if we introduce them. They're already a thing in many places, at this point probably for long enough and in sufficient numbers that we can collect actual data on whether this conservative moral panic is justified. So far, I've seen zero hard evidence that this leads to an increase in sexual harassment or assault.

And I want to emphasize the term "conservative moral panic": this really is just current year's iteration of the conservative moral panic over social progress. Moral panics are the standard reaction of conservatives to social change, and their favorite moral panics are those related to children. They pulled the exact same shit against gay people. First they suppressed them on religious grounds. When that stopped working they conjured a moral panic by constructing an unfounded association between homosexuality and pedophilia. When they lost that fight they had to begrudgingly tolerate gay people existing, but then the fight for gay marriage began. First they tried suppressing it on religious grounds again, which once more didn't work out. Their next move was, no points for guessing: constructing a moral panic about gay parenthood. If kids see two men kissing, they might catch the gay themselves! Etc etc.

The strategy against trans people is startlingly similar. They've lost some ground already in that they have to begrudgingly tolerate trans people existing, so now they're in the "will someone think of the children" moral panic phase over how the trans people will trans your kids, or how drag queens are going to groom them, or whatever. All without any evidence to back it up.

And also similarly to how they treated gay people, conservative pundits openly use language laden with disgust and open contempt. It's not just "a trans woman" sexually assaulting your kids, it's a balding sweaty overweight man in a dress and makeup sexually assaulting your kids.
What if they replace "us" with GPT and one programmer to glue together the snippets it provides?

Anecdotal: a pregnant woman ate a lot of the stuff (something similar to Bamba) when pregnant, and I mean a lot. The child was diagnosed with peanut allergy when 1 y.o.

Solution? Peanut microdosing, increasing dose progressively, in few months the allergy was gone.

As far as jobs go and the blog—not as much as I would like, but more than zero. Despite hundreds of thousands of page views, my blog has only yielded me a couple of incoming inquiries about jobs over the past decade.[0]

However, it has helped me as a space to write about the launch of my books, which probably yielded some sales and has allowed me to have some interesting discussions with people about the posts on occasion. It's also just cool to have people reading what you write.

On the other hand, I think creating a personal "who am I" website was helpful in a past job search as a point of reference for folks to learn about me and the job search went pretty well.[1]

Note for anyone reading this:

There are anti-union folk who try to blame the unions for Detroit dying. This is ignoring the fact that GM took money that was meant for pensioners, and started spending it on non-pension related stuff.

Their pension savings dropped, and the companies couldn't meet the obligations they promised to. Those obligations were put in place because of the unions.

So yes, you could argue if it wasn't for the unions those pensions would've never been promised to. However, that's victim blaming the folks since the company decided to spend money that effectively wasn't theirs and was put away, and then cry for help after it got caught. Short term profits over long term longevity is what killed Detroit.

There were a lot of other things happening at the same time:

- NAFTA fucked over US industry.
- White flight, caused by a multitude of reasons including xenophobia cut down the taxable population of the city.
- Lack of oversight and regulations and mismanagement of the city of Detroit.

Blaming Unions for what happened is wild. Without the Unions, detroit would've never seen the boom that it did, and without the unions, the workers would've ended up in a worse situation considering what NAFTA did to US manufacturing.

you say it like it's a sort of corporate slut-shaming, but it's not. If you build a factory big enough to make 1/2 the cheese puffs in the world, there's an incentive to make it bigger and make all the cheese puffs in the world. Going from small batch bake/frying to assembly line flow is the 1st step, but once you're over that hurdle, you might as well go big, as long as you can handle the risk of being stuck with the risk of owning the 2nd biggest cheese puff tumbler in the world. That type of cooking is a natural monopoly.

that's the factory, but brands don't come from the factory, they come from the market, and have different reputations, strategies, customers and distribution channels. If you have a giant computer controlled cheese puffery, it's not that big a deal to change the formulation of the cheese, change the logo bags, etc. all on the fly, and it's much cheaper for you to do it than a smaller less sophisticated operation making you more customizable and still the low-cost producer.

did you know that even if you aren't a very big pizzeria or bakery you can order custom-milled flour from King Arthur for your restaurant? Their factory can handle it, and it engenders brand loyalty from fussy chefs.
Opposite.

I did a startup for years and the backend was all boring Golang talking to Postgres. I am confident that if GPT had produced identical code it would've been worse. Because shit hit the fan many times due to misunderstandings or other things that cause bugs. Because I wrote the bugs, I was able to fix them. Making coding more of a blackbox and treating coding as menial labor would have definitely caused us to lose customers and miss important deadlines.

Maybe the next way to move the goalposts is "GPT will debug for you someday and be trained on the entire transitive closure of your dependencies."

That sort of thing could actually be useful as a sort of hint, but it isn't replacing devs any more than ripgrep did. To be honest, ripgrep through the source of my deps is already highly efficient and points me to things often.

While most laws of physics may be time symmetric, the laws of thermodynamics are not - wherever there is a gradient in entropy.

In very informal terms, anywhere where there is very low entropy (higher order), any direction away from that will likely (to the point of certainty) be in a direction of higher entropy (lower order).

For instance, if you have a jar of red & blue marble, with high order (such as perfect alternating layers of red vs blue marbles) then any disturbances (such as shaking the jar, reaching in and moving a handful, …) will almost certainly reduce order.

And no practical amount of shaking the jar will ever return the marbles to a high order state again.

Even though any close up video of the marbles being jostled will reveal the same physical properties and behavior for the marbles, whether played forward or backward.

So at the individual marble level, laws are symmetric.

But at the jar of marbles level, one direction of time looks very different than the other.

We, and the particles that make us, and our environment, are the marbles whose configuration is more disordered the further in time we get from the Big Bang.

So we perceive the time direction away from the Big Bang as the future, toward the Big Bang as the past.

And the statistical “force” of increasing entropy provides the useful energy we use to survive, learn, create useful islands of order, in the greater sea of increasing disorder.

Nobody who is 1400 plays outright illegal moves.
This is why I hated flash. The websites for small non-technical businesses were god awful because the business owners, who didn't know better, asked for all kinds of superfluous animations.

At least now that this same sort of crap is done in javascript, I can opt out of it by not enabling javascript and still usually have a workable website to read. But with flash there was no graceful degradation at all; you either ran flash and brought your computer to its knees, or you couldn't use the website at all. It was awful and the best thing Steve Jobs ever did was help nail the coffin shut.
The best move is not to play.
That kinda defeats the purpose. Of course you can use AlphaGo, but the question here is – can a generative AI teach itself to play chess (and do a million other similar generic tasks) when given no specific training for it.
Well, if a competitor to OpenAI ever creates a LLM with optional safety rails instead of mandatory safety rails, I will switch to the competitor instantly.
It's the size of the page. You can never replicate holding up a huge newspaper sheet with a digital screen. I really miss physical newspapers.
I would say so. Logical reasoning is not a hard thing to program a computer to do: the really hard part is to reason about the real world, rather than just a manually-defined world model.

Traditional algorithms are vanguards of pure reason. Neural networks are super-intuition. Stockfish unites the two, executing an efficient intuitive heuristic search over the solution space of “moves in a chess game” – but no matter how cool the robot arm you build for it, Stockfish could never learn to assemble furniture.
That was proven not to be the case:

AKA, "model serving".

The reason is that the kernel gives you this featuer and it's really powerful, so why not take advantage of it?

During dev work you often want an easily restarted stack (code changes). Anyway, if you use this approach, you can just have the python server stay resident and then have another app mmap it (shared memory) instead of doing inference over an API, whcih is always awkward.
that's also not entirely true either. it's prone to make illegal moves. one could argue abiding by the rules of the game is a requisite for understanding!
This is the way. Next, you could cache those values for >=6 when you compute them and also use the previously cached values for sub-problem solutions.
I wonder if, even if the bird doesn't take the boat for a long distance (i.e. cutting off time spent flapping), just having the ability to rest and recover in the middle of the ocean provides it the boost to keep on going. Or some safety factor. Just like Midway Atoll for us...hah.
I would argue that a decent human player also has "similar sequences of moves in its training set", due to reading plus playing or watching games.

The illegal move argument is good though, and indicates no direct understanding of what it is spewing out.
I DJ in the local techno underground and produce it as a hobby, music is a very active and deliberate activity for me. That there are so many different ways to engage with it is part of why I don't lump it in the same bucket as TV.
So you write the unit tests yourself to confirm the code you say you can't understand is correct? That's an interesting approach. But you'd probably need more tests than usual to gain confidence, so you are losing efficiency there (although the ceiling-raising nature of it is interesting).

What happens in production when there's a bug in the complex code you punted to GPT? How do you debug?
Interesting concept. I wonder if it's compared with spatial 3D space, then how large would the 4th dimension of time be if it were to fit the timeline of a human lifespan
It doesn't even know the rules, let alone cheat. It predicts the notation from the massive amount of games seen during training.

Edit: although thinking of it, it probably anazyled a shitload of chess books too. It might have a lot of knowledge compressed into the internal representation. So yeah, maybe it knows rules in some form and even some heuristics, after all. It just doesn't understand the importance of making legal moves, and can't apply complex theory (requiring it to run stateful algorithms).
Humans don’t, but that is an unnecessary bar IMO.
It doesn't remember exact moves, it remembers patterns of moves and continues those. That is why it so easily makes illegal moves, because the patterns doesn't have anything to do with board state.
All tests I have seen have concluded that loading times from SD are ~identical with the 512GB SSD. Furthermore, SD card endurance is typically ridiculously high with write cycles at somewhere around hundreds of thousands.
hah, the person below you did a nice imitation. They forgot "Assuming the daughter" not son.

But more seriously, the reason people indoctrinate isn't because they want them to be negative, but to realize that being pessimistic is actually going to be a more reliable way to have a plan for life when no one is able to help.

For example, if your car breaks down and your cell phone battery is around 30%- you have time to make a few phone calls, but instead of wondering if your friend can pick you up (assuming he has a cheap pickup truck that can tow), you rationalize- he might be sleeping, working, unwilling to answer the phone. You have three phone calls to make, so you decide you'll compare the rates of the two nearest towing companies.

Which do you call? You have money and time to spend, but you don't want to be stranded for a very long time, even assuming you were able to pull your car over to the side of the curb. Being pessimistic is just being prepared, and similarly, you want to try to save for a rainy day.

From 2005 until now, rates of peanut allergies have increased 2-fold or more in the US. Similar for tree nuts. Anecdotally, it feels like more. There's a huge generational shift even among recent parents, where it feels like a problem just didn't have very long ago, but we do now.

It's true that we had bad advice to not introduce peanuts which provably made the problem worse (and has now been reversed), but this is only part of the problem. Papers on the subject make clear that are other countries that are not doing intentional early-introduction (which we are now in the US) and don't have the problem.

It's also abundantly clear from the research that the population-scale problem is 100% environmental... as you would expect since the SAME POPULATION saw rates go through the roof in a decade. It's something we did, environmentally, and we don't know what.

It also feels frustrating that the medical profession seems overwhelmingly incurious about discovering whatever it is we're doing that is literally harming children.
Again, not enough for 1400. 800 maybe.
Posting because most of the comments I read had a strong positive bias and I have a more lukewarm assessment.

tl;dr: I wouldn't suggest starting a blog for the purpose of getting some external benefit (e.g. receiving a job opportunity). But if you believe you'll get an internal benefit and you feel that benefit is worth the time investment then go for it.

Background: I started my blog "On Product, Tech, & Leadership" (https://blog.colinroper.com/) about 4 years ago to help me crystallize my thinking on Product Management and Leadership topics that I've learned over my career, and with the hope that it would help lead to future career opportunities.

So far it has yet to provide any meaningful external benefits (from what I'm able to tell). The site hasn't garnered much of a following or feedback, despite some modest marketing on LinkedIn. I suppose this is the fate of most blogs, though maybe my luck will change at some point. The blog has also has been a large time investment (in doses) to write the content, create the site, tweak the designs, and promote the occasional new posts.

That said, it has provided internal benefits. It has helped me clarify my thinking on some topics I care about. And despite not liking the act of writing, I have gotten better at it. Further, the time sink has been somewhat by choice: I have willingly gone deep into coding and design topics as an excuse to grow my skill set.

So I would propose the following as a litmus test if you're considering starting your own blog: if nobody read your blog would it still be worth it to you? I'm a sample size of one, so maybe this questions is unfair. Or maybe your situation is different and you have a captive audience ready to consume. But I hope my experience helps someone make the right choice :)
I think what you're trying to say is that there are always limits to what care is available, and that the best possible care is not always provided due to resource constraints.

There are of course always methods for determining who gets care, but at least as far as the UK goes, anyone who is legally resident in the UK can walk into a hospital and get largely the same healthcare as anyone else.

If you're not legally resident in the UK (i.e., you're a visitor or undocumented), you will receive emergency care and primary care without charge, and you will only be charged if you're admitted to hospital. Many countries (including the EU) have arrangements so that their citizens/residents won't be charged even in those circumstances.

Almost every developed country on the planet other than the US has universal healthcare. The notion that you will be cut off because you can't pay is the exception not the rule.
