I created aisearch.vip which searches using bing api, removes results containing ads or seo junk, and uses openai to summarize content
to void clickbait. I believe that this is the only way to get the 0-4 good results hiding in the top 20 results. It's paid because it costs to run. But to be honest I myself am a fan of what phind is doing. Just can't understand how they are able to cover costs yet
We are a couple of content creators and one of the things we always get hung up on is reusing and repurposing content.

We built Video Tap to convert our video content into high quality blog posts. We used to do this manually with transcripts, but it was still taking up a lot of time and energy, and video content alone doesn't really translate well with written content.

Thanks to OpenAI we're able to get almost publish ready blog posts in minutes.

Thank you for explaining, I certainly wont downvote (not that I know how to anyways). Sorry in advance if you get nuked just for answering my question. Those are certainly opinions that seem consistent to me and are not just the usual parroting of <choose a media outlet> that seems to be so prevalent now. You've restored my faith in the free thinking public just a little bit today, so thanks.
Do you have a link, or a source?
IMO, the services should just not buy the ads for their own name. It might hurt their bottom line a bit, but doing this makes the search engine shittier for the users who know what they want to see.

User input/frustration will eventually lead them toward alternative search engines, or provide enough feedback to Google/Bing/etc to make them disable registered service name or company names from being used as ad terms.

I've been using Neeva for a while now. It's ad-free and (for me, anyway) on par with Google. I have one premium account ($5/month) and one free account (used for work) and have had no issues with either. By default, searches aren't saved, although enabling it can lead to better personalized searches.

Kagi's one I've heard great things about as well, although I'm not a fan of a business model that allows me to pay for X searches before hitting a barrier that prevents further use of the platform (theirs is 200 searches a month for $5, which seems way too low based on my use cases).

In any case, users will force the change, not any government or corporate pressure. Businesses' best chance of fighting it is to refuse to play along.
I've also noticed it, and I can't help but interpret it as their way of shifting blame. Which is irresponsible. It's their product, and they need to take accountability for the bug occurring.

It's a serious bug, but in the grand scheme of things, not earth shattering, and not something that I think would discourage usage of their product. But their treatment of the bug causes more concerns than the bug itself. They are shifting the blame away from the work they did using a library with a bug, rather than their process by which that library made it into their product. And I don't understand how they can't see how that reflects poorly on them as an AI company.

I find it so confusing that at the end of the day, OpenAI's biggest product is having created a good process by which to create value out of a massive amount of data, and build a good API on top of it. And the open source library is effectively something they processed into their product and built an API based off of it. So it creates (to me) some amount of doubt about how they will react when faced with similar challenges to their core product. How will they behave when the data they consume impacts their product negatively? From limited experience, they'll shift the blame to the data, not their process, and keep it pushing.

It seems likely that this is only the beginning of OpenAI having a large customer base, with a high impact on many products. This is a disappointing result on their first test on how they'll manage issues and bugs with their products.
Understandable, thank you for the response!

I've been a bit jaded by the "open/democratizing ai" stuff and then having companies stiff us at actually making it open - but not wanting to be the first to litigate these new types of issues ml brings is very understandable.

Question - Would you consider benchmarking a single 4090 for your training? While training in a few hours with 8x A100's is impressive, myself and I think others are curious how that translates to consumer hardware. IMO running/fine-tuning on consumer hardware is the ultimate endgame for all ai models.
That's a great comparison because I believe the same trajectory of voice recognition will be followed by these chatbots.

It's a private school, and their charter points more specifically at "Christian Private School", so you're not going to find a lot of left-leaning voters who will legitimately have any say in what the school does.

But then again inflation benefits people with debt. 4% annual inflation means their real debt load is 3.8% lower. Low inflation is basically a subsidy to creditors.

So many takes on here prove that this really should not be elevated to a national discussion. You simply do not understand the context at Stanford.

95% of undergrads live on campus. There is not enough housing for them to live off-campus irrespective of the cost. There is not enough parking for that many students to commute. Freshmen aren’t even allowed to have cars. Off-campus housing is not an option.

At least up until 2016 there was an “open door policy” where underage drinking was not policed when done indoors, ironically for safety, so that students would not be afraid to ask for help or support when necessary.

If you don’t know the context at Stanford, you really can’t understand the “war” aspect and I don’t blame you. That’s why this shouldn’t be national news.

According to the article he had been speaking to 'democrats and progressive activitists' about Thiel's hypocrisy.
Considering how relentless Thiel was to Gawker... I can see how one can make the connection he could have been involved in the guy's death. This was NOT on my bingo card to say the least!!!

I am not a fan of his politics at all but his book was really good. However this development - the sudden death of his gorgeous kept lover - was unexpected.
https://reason.com/2022/10/13/inflation-remixed/

Inflation in 1980, when Carter's presidency ended, was at 12% YoY, the highest they'd ever been in his entire presidency. Rising oil prices were not the only, or even primary, cause of inflation.

From the article: "In the early 1960s, a pair of Nobel Prize–winning economists, Paul Samuelson and Robert Solow, argued that in order to keep unemployment around 3 percent, U.S. policy makers should be willing to accept that "the price index might have to rise by as much as 4 to 5 percent a year. That much price rise would seem to be the necessary cost of high employment." Both economists were close to Kennedy, who pushed for low interest rates, hoping to spur rapid economic growth."

This idea turned out to be false.

Also from the article: "In the early 1960s, a pair of Nobel Prize–winning economists, Paul Samuelson and Robert Solow, argued that in order to keep unemployment around 3 percent, U.S. policy makers should be willing to accept that "the price index might have to rise by as much as 4 to 5 percent a year. That much price rise would seem to be the necessary cost of high employment." Both economists were close to Kennedy, who pushed for low interest rates, hoping to spur rapid economic growth."

This turned out to be true. And, lastly:

"In the 1970s, that is exactly what happened in the American economy, often by design. As Frum wrote, "The United States had consciously chosen to inflate its currency. It made that choice because of the political ideology and personal weakness of the men entrusted with the job of managing the American economy: their utopianism, their arrogance, and then finally their cowardice." The inflation that vaulted Reagan into office was not an accident or an incidental effect of policy. It was the result of deliberate policy choices."
nor are we anywhere near being able to inspect how google is doing all this.

if only there were some way to somehow be able to share that information with everybody, some technology so that we can all access such potentially useful information about how google is functioning right now

sorry about the snark, but it's a vent for accumulative frustration from seeing a worsening trend in this regard.

Kafka would recognize this trend; computing is truly becoming a "bureaucrat's best friend".
> Also, I believe this is yet again one more reason for companies and developers to consider row-level security [0], it simply erases the possibility of a malformed query returning data that shouldn't be accessible altogether.

That requires 1:1 DB user to real user mapping + one connection to DB per users, it is entirely horrible performance-wise, which is why it is so rarely used for anything more than separating apps from eachother.

Agree. But, even better in inflationary economy: Debt. You want to own massive assets with loads of debt.

It's telling of character that Sam doesn't take responsibility, and blames it on an open source package in literally the same breath.

OpenAI is a company that we are going to have a significant relationship with into the future, so it's worth understanding the characteristics of the leadership of that company.

A real leader would simply have said "we fixed it, sorry", instead of "we fixed it, but it was someone else's fault".

It reminds me of those "I deleted the production database and got fired" stories ..... I always think it's management to blame if it is possible to delete the production database, but management like to blame someone further down the tree.

How much would it take for you to consider them well funded?

Personally, I don't think it takes nearly as much to spread propaganda in order to work parents into a frenzy as it does to support teachers across the country.
Yes, this happened using GPT-4 and a coding plugin:

https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1638971232443076609
What exactly are you working on and which "AI tool" did you try? I will bet you $20 that GPT-4 (which can take 80kb of API docs or examples in the 32k model and is a very good programmer) if given reference info in your domain and a good prompt to think through the problem and solution step-by-step will be able to do very well.

So the future is anyone with that model access (the 8k tokens could have 20kb of docs which is still useful) who wants to really try.
It’s also myopic. Florida legislature proposed a law allowing state to take kids kids from parents. So no they aren’t supreme at all.

Okay, but who "taught it to bark" correctly in response to those words?
the classic example is "pandemonium!", a 3D platformer that only allows you to move on two axes. you move on the surface of an imaginary ribbon winding through the 3D space.
The claim made at the time was that the titles were not from other people and were in fact caused by the model hallucinating after the input query timed out (or something like that). Obviously that sounds a little suspect now, but it might be true.

The more you write, the more you fight. Why share ideas with people who waste your time fighting you.
Cannot stress enough that moves like this have little to nothing to do with the content, or the kids. Local school bullshit like this is always parents with another axe to grind taking advantage of every possible tool at their disposal. Doesn't matter if it's a Latin-teaching classical Christian conservative school in Florida or an autonomous Montessori in Berkeley run by nudists - if a parent gets offended by an administrator, blood's in the water.

The principal wasn't politically left of the parents. She's an evangelical Christian whose previous job was at Christ Classical, which "integrates all subjects to develop a biblical worldview for every area of life" and follows a similar curriculum. At this school she'd been promoted into the role that she quit; it's 'advised by Hillsdale College, which has raised money by pushing back on what the institution describes as “leftist” academics teaching a “biased and distorted” view of U.S. history'.

Everybody knows exactly what they're doing here, and it has nothing to do with students seeing a statue's cock and balls, or parental consent, or much of anything at all. One or more parents didn't like the principal for <insert any reason, valid or stupid, here>, they found the first thing they could use to punt her, and they wrapped their hands around its length and girth as tight as they could and then swung it at her until she left.

If you’re interested in this you have to read this interview in Slate with the head of the school board.

It’s clear the board has lots of ‘problems’ with the principal. Given the chair’s answers in the interview it’s incredibly clear they have a very specific world view. I’m guessing the principal didn’t share it.

Oh how I agree with your first paragraph. And there's nothing like experience and hindsight to provide such wisdom.

This is subject I could discuss for days but I've spent too much time here already. Perhaps you could read my last reply to krisoft, it's perhaps a bit tangential but it enlarges on my earlier comment.

Thanks for your post.
The most illuminating thing about ChatGPT for me is just how terrible most programmers on HN apparently are. I thought it was just a funny meme that all we do is copy/paste from Stack Overflow but apparently that is literally what a lot of people are doing all day.

I don't want to hate on RISC-V, but I just don't see a line from here to where ARM is now, even with ARM's shenanigans.
First off this is a griss and unempathetic take.

Second off- it has nothing ti do with florida being red. I grew up in a very democrat town that had a disgustingly corrupt school board. Bad education top to bottom. The main issues that lead to a bad school : 1) shitty parenting. Goes hand in hand with poverty. Creates awful learning environment 2) general incompetence/administrative malice : schools do not seem to be design explicitly for the pyrpose of benefitting students- this goal is abandoned in order to meet a variety of tertiary goals. 3) corruption. If the money is gettung spent on nepotism and emvezzlement, it aint getting spent on kids.

Now, every single one of those points applies to communities in both red and blue states.

So please, lets not make this partisan.
I think it depends on the scale of mcu you look at, for instance in the sub $1 mcu for birthday cards etc riscv is making inroads:

Robotics and IoT edge is another. The bl808 is a 5 core chip for $2odd with the lowest power mcu having access to 64mb ram, no other mcu can do that as far as I know:

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005004970779483.html

There is also more of a drive to open source drivers etc with many of the riscv mcus.
Good. Google has ruined the web. It has cultivated an insane amount of websites that just have loads of useless cruft around around the information they offer.

It has also cultivated a behavior of these stock answers that you see popping up on multiple websites with a reference to THEIR product at the end of the article. I see it with technical problems (partition wizard, windowserrorreport, ...). It's your overall run dism / sfc and install & buy our product.

Then people moved to YouTube, and as a result there are now autogenerated videos for KBs on the internet if you have issues with those. What this means is that whenever you're looking for an issue that occurs with a single KB, you get all these generic answers which HIDE potential solutions of other people experiencing the SAME thing.

The same applies to pest control, insane amount of lies (dangers of black widows, rabies from squirrels, ...) to get higher in the Google ranks and push their product.

Also applies to doctors offices, there are companies who put out these generic pages with 'solutions' telling you to make an appointment.

The worst part about all of this is that Google (and Bing, and DuckDuckGo for that matter) no longer respect me searching for 2 terms. For example, I search for "KB123456 issue". I'll get results for KB123456, but nothing mentioning the issue. And you're like: maybe it doesn't exist? Except that I read it multiple times half a year ago with the solution, and I was not smart enough to save it somewhere.

A search engine used to be to help you search and get your answer, fast and focused. Now it is pulling everything out of the closed to make you deviate from that. Suggestions, audio, video, etc.

All while researching something for work. And then I get a Slack message from someone saying 'Hello!'. And then nothing.

Absolutely true, but this seems like a new level of misleading. For example, the newspaper I worked for did not allow any kind of photoshop alteration to the photos beyond lighting adjustments. The photo is meant to show reality even if it is not photogenic. This can still be manipulated through framing as you point out, but there are limits which this new technique blows right past.
This has been my thing too. I work in Networking and sometimes I see interesting stuff, but between cisco's beefy docs and obscure blogs I have no idea what the actual use case for it, or how the SD-WAN magic wand does the thing.

I don’t live in the world of extremes that you do. There is room for other emotions between hate and love. In arrogance neo-liberals thought China embracing market reforms and “free” trade would liberalize/weaken the CCP. It did not work. We have long passed the point whereby China can be viewed as anything other than an adversary. China has engaged in state sponsored hacking and theft of American technological secrets and in a cyber war with the U.S. It’s not a conventional war.
