Comparing Bard to Bing and GOT4 today. Bard was the worst of the bunch. Bing was actually the best overall. Not surprising since it's basically GPT4+Search context.

Bard did do fairly well on some of the questions I asked that were things google would be good at answering. Did not do well at all on generating code in more obscure languages.
What Is a Context Manager?
You have to keep in mind how these programs work. There is absolutely no logic or understanding of what they're training on. You're simply getting a word prediction algorithm. Google's [seemingly poisonous] 'secret sauce' is probably to use contemporary data with a dramatically increased weighting.

For example, a 'what does this program do' type LLM software (with chatgpt at the backend) was broken by doing little more than changing the name of the function being called from "Q_rsqrt" to "Floor." [1] Even though the rest of the function was something that the software was clearly trained on verbatim and even included an almost certainly unique hex value (as part of bit math games), the weighting of the function's name ended up overriding everything else and so it described, in quite compelling detail, how the function was calculating the floor of the input value. Except it wasn't doing that, at all.

If these tools ever become more than toys, they will be far more vulnerable to the equivalent of SEO than search engines ever were. And it's probably an insurmountable problem, because it's a vulnerability in how they fundamentally operate.

I have two questions:

* Who is paying for it and why? Meaning, do you have a business model that can support fact-based reporting?

* Is unbiased journalism even possible? How do you avoid the collective biases of the Editorial Team?
Apologies for this confusion. Pycob was my original project that included the UI components as well as a web server, user auth, cloud services, and hosting.

I've decided to split the UI components from the rest of it because I've realized that they don't need to be bundled. The UI components are in a library called PyVibe.

Pycob will just be Cloud Services for Python Web Apps

PyVibe will be the Python -> HTML library
I'm guessing you don't record videos then.

In terms of video capabilities, Canon 5D Mk II is limited to 8-bit 4:2:0 1080p H.264 recording at 30fps, maxing out at 12 minutes of recording. That is a far cry from 10-bit (or 12-bit) 4:2:2 4K, 6K or even 8K RAW or ProRes at 120fps or higher with unlimited recording from a similarly priced camera in today's money.

(It's also limited in terms of RAW photo as well though: the best recording option is 8-bit 10MP RAW)

No phone comes anywhere near that either, not to mention the lenses for phones can't compete with the real interchangeable lenses. The difference probably doesn't matter to someone who is just going to record his baby walking around and watch it on a 7 inch screen, but of course that's not the target audience for those cameras.
The important point is that there are 2 lists:

1. Words that can be entered as valid guesses

2. Words that are ever used as solutions in Wordle

I think this is a great design choice (and IIRC was part of the original game). That is, Wordle doesn't want to use really obscure or uncommon slang words as the solution, as that would make the game less enjoyable (I wouldn't like it so much if the solution was a word I'd never heard of). But, when I get stuck and can't think of a word that will fit as my next guess, sometimes I just go into "mash keyboard mode" so hopefully I'll find something that will fit and get more information about the solution. More often than not something fits, and I'm usually surprised my guess is an actual word.

So, to your point, DUCKY is a valid guess but will never be an actual solution in Wordle.
> where you want to store some amount of logic in the database itself

If you’ve ever worked on a decently sized project, you’ll quickly realize this is an anti-pattern that you should avoid at all cost. Imagine having multiple teams updating that logic without any version control or visibility in what’s stored in pg.
For perspective, take a look at the population history chart:

https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2022/03/Annual-World-Popu...

We are far from the point of all humans living comfortably given the planet's limited resources. Human overpopulation is the primary reason why we have the tyranny of resource wars (the U.S. -- not Russia -- being the worst offender of petrodollar hegemony), scarce water supplies, pandemics, economic meltdowns, etc.

Of course there are other factors, inefficiencies, waste, etc, but imagine if the global population was 1% of what it is currently. None of those other factors would matter.
Already has been, just the stock market is catching up to the real economy. This is the logical conclusion to the K-type recovery from helicopter money.
The GPT-4 in Bing Chat was fine-tuned by Microsoft themselves, which might its initially unhinged behavior. Only the ChatGPT+ GPT-4 was fine-tuned by OpenAI. Microsoft apparently just got the base model, and they have not as much know how regarding fine-tuning.
They're trying to create bots that act like humans. Well, it seems they're succeeding beyond anyone's wildest dreams. The bots are so human-like, they do all the same shitty stuff that real humans do.

Computers were better in the old days, when they were simple and logical and not human-like at all.
I'd rather it just not autoconnect. That's all.

Which checks the box for great timing. All these companies with billions in the bank needing a new thing to prove they still warrant their growth valuation will dump obscene sums into this and cause things to evolve at a staggering pace, much like we've seen with AR and VR.
Will this translate to their Kia brand? My EV6 has touch controls for the climate control, and the same "toolbar" flips between climate and radio controls. (it does have 2 circular knobs).

Congratulations on the launch of your product! Here's a bit of early user feedback:

I navigated to your website by clicking on the HackerNews link but couldn't go back after doing so. The website seems to hijack the back button (intentionally or otherwise). This is a dark pattern that's becoming increasingly common in my experience. Can you please address this?
Multiple states have a similar law but it gets worked around. They usually work around this by providing a “severance” that covers the legal period of time before they have to notify their employees; and they only have to do any of this above a certain threshold of how many employees are getting laid off.

So if the law says you have to notify 2 months in advance, they’ll instead give you at least 2 months severance, lay people off first, then announce through here.

I felt I had extra information when I found out about WARN of NYC, but shortly after learned about the work around above. I think the same workaround is used in other states but not 100% certain.
Bard is much worse at puzzle solving than ChatGPT
Apps are great until you have a dead phone or you lose it or you lose internet. I can see something like this being useful as an adjunct to the normal format: more skillful users can save time, less skillful users can use the old method.

However it is a big investment to change all the signs and public utilities are not known for sophistication, so it will never become a reality.

Well, I wish BMW did the same. Wanted to go for the new BMW M2. But now instead of a well-integrated speedometer & central display they shaved it off of the dash and put in place this monstrosity of a wide screen. It's just bolted on with no sense of cohesion.

And with that the buttons for climate control are gone.

I have no idea about you being recorded, but I have to admit I’m sincerely not understanding the moderation still. Is it really not enough to say something true?

Google's [seemingly poisonous] 'secret sauce' is probably to use contemporary data with a dramatically increased weighting.

I'm mostly with you, though I suspect if you asked one of these programs to summarize the comment in question, it would not end up attributing any statements to Google.

I don't understand how the source attribution is made; in my concept of what these programs are doing, that information ("where did this idea/text come from?") doesn't really exist in the finished model.

Think of my comment as more directed toward "what other people are saying about this flub" than "how the software should behave".

> If these tools ever become more than toys, they will be far more vulnerable to the equivalent of SEO than search engines ever were. And it's probably an insurmountable problem, because it's a vulnerability in how they fundamentally operate.

On the other hand, I think these tools are fundamentally doing language processing correctly, and most of what's going wrong is that people expect language processing to be able to answer the wrong kinds of questions. (Related: most people believe that their thoughts are expressed linguistically, but this is not true.) I expect future developments in this area to involve harnessing language models fairly similar to these to separate software.

There's an example of this mistake in another current frontpage link: https://twofergoofer.com/blog/bard

> It's particularly fun because the robots don't actually understand what rhyming is.

But "what rhyming is" is something the current set of chatbots can understand perfectly. Rhyming is a division of words, which are the only thing they do understand, into a set (actually, several related sets) of equivalence classes. To give a rhymed answer to a riddle, it's perfectly sufficient to know that two words rhyme; there's no need to know how the rhyming between them works.

And in fact, we have rhyme tables for ancient Chinese characters that give us just this information. Trained specialists are able to tell whether a passage of Old Chinese rhymes or doesn't rhyme. They are generally not able to explain exactly how two characters rhyme; the phonetic information doesn't survive. Does that mean that modern humans "don't actually understand what rhyming is"?
> you listed a rank that in the Army

I was in the Marines, both have the rank of Corporal. I asked a friend and he pointed me here: https://www.defense.gov/Contact/Help-Center/Article/Article/...

You are right about the use of rank by retirees.

The example I gave is wrong or rather, more pertinent to active duty when operating in a civilian capacity. The Navy and Marines are the only branches that have specific rules about that. Wearing your insignia as an earring is what I was addressing and that is still very taboo. I served under Mattis and I'd be floored if I saw him wearing four star bars in a suit.

Adobe Firefly sounds promising, especially in terms of enhancing creativity and productivity. However, I wonder about the learning curve for users who are not familiar with AI-powered tools.

You're only going to see this in the case of live attenuated vaccines. They can mutate and become virulent (since they were mutated to attenuate them in the first place).

You're not going to see that with mRNA vaccines, you're not going to see that with the adenovirus-vectored vaccines. You're not going to see that with inactivated virus vaccines (like most influenza[*] or CoronaVac or the Sinopharm COVID vaccines).

Live attenuated virus vaccines are one of the oldest vaccine methods and have been around since the 19th century. They're created by culturing the virus serially in artificial media and isolating a strain which is less virulent. Very brute force laboratory methods that only require the ability to culture the virus and an animal model of virulence with decent correspondence to human virulence.

One thing to remember is that we're dealing with a medical triage situation and its better to cause a very small amount of disease in order to eradicate most of it. People get hung up on the fact that medical science is a human activity that doesn't have perfectly flawless outcomes like in Star Trek, while the natural diseases are orders of magnitude worse.

[*] Except the Flumist nasal spray is live attenuated. Still with influenza that isn't likely a big deal. I would be willing to wager a bit that this technique is still being used there because the influenza virus is very good at getting past the nasal mucosa and we don't know how to engineer particles that do that very well (still no nasal COVID vaccine).

My flow with ChatGPT lately is like this:

1. I get stumped and ask it “can I do thing X with technology Y?”

2. It always says “yes, here is how”

3. A majority of the time, it’s lying and you can’t actually do whatever I asked it.

It’s incredibly frustrating - it’s like it doesn’t know how to say “no”.

Granted, I am usually asking it pretty niche stuff about iOS development, but so far it’s proving to be a waste of time. I guess it does feel good to feel like you have a lead on some problem you’ve been beating your head against for hours, but then the harsh reality of actual reality comes quick.

> It's like trying to devise a Will that controls what happens to one's estate after it is distributed to the inheritors. You're dead, and your stuff then belongs to other people.

You can actually do that, although it is limited somewhat by the rule against perpetuities (RAP). The classic statement of the RAP is that no interest is good unless it must vest, if at all, not later that 21 years after some life in being at the creation of the interest.

For example, suppose you have three children and you own a small farm but do not live on it. You've got an arrangement with Farmer Bob that lets him and his family live on the farm and run it, and you get 20% of the profits.

In your will you could leave the farm to Bob for the rest of his life and then to your children and that would be fine. Bob's interest, if it vests, does so when you die, and that's within 21 years of your life and you were alive when the interest was created, so no RAP violation. You childrens' interests, if they vest, do so when Bob dies, which is within 21 years of Bob's life, and Bob is alive now so again RAP is satisfied.

So when you die the farm goes to Bob. When Bob dies it goes to your children (or if they are dead then it goes to whoever inherited their interest). (For those wondering what happens if Bob tries to sell the farm after he inherits it--he can, but he can only sell what he has which is an interest that terminates when he dies. That interest still terminates when he dies even if at the time someone else owns that interest).

In a majority of US states they have modified the classic common law RAP, replacing the within 21 years of a life now in existence with a flat 90 years. Some states have gone even longer in some circumstances, such as Florida which for trusts upped it to 360 years and then 1000 years. A handful of states have abolished the RAP.

Leave your stuff in a trust when you die and live in one of those states and you can dictate what happens to your estate for generations after you are gone.
