> it's also formerly progressive points shifting into being seen as right-wing positions.

This is just the nature of these things. They aren't fixed. They're descriptions of views of different groups of people at a certain time, and change with time.

My childhood overlapped with the aftermath and social remnants of jim crow. Back then, there, a moderate position was that integration was inevitable and necessary for technical constitutional law reasons and to prevent wider upheaval, but that it should not have been welcomed and was allowed to progress too quickly. Only a radical leftist would hold that black and white people were fundamentally equal and the law and social norms must be immediately brought to respect that.

Within my memory, a centrist position was that gay men should be medically treated for that "disorder" rather than pursued criminally for it. A radical leftist position was that they should be allowed to openly participate as full members of society without restriction.

You're right that what is considered left or right changes. Center positions do often become far right positions with time. Sorry lol. It still isn't the fault of leftists.
I could also imagine a sort of two-tier approach, where the on-device model can handle the majority of queries, but recognize when it should pass the query on to a larger model running in the cloud.
This is awesome guys!
Same experience.

Alexa is DIMENSIONS better than Siri. Siri can create a timer ... okay even an alarm. That’s it.
It is comically bad. Their text to speech is excellent, but the rest is unbelievable bad.

The limiting factor is breeding rate. Nobody has time to wait to run this experiment for generations (chimpanzee or human ones). ML models evolve orders of magnitude faster.
Ha. Conway’s game of life really had an impact on boomers. Never knew why. (Wolfram, though, is a helluva guy… the book was damn interesting. I mock him in the same way that one might mock Einstein’s hair-do.)

I worked for a tiny, independent project for a giant corporation for a couple of years. It absolutely would have worked as a 2 or 3 person company but it was definitely the wrong place for a dozen engineers as part of a giant corporation. They shut it down, but now I'm wondering whether they would have entertained a small offer to buy it. Probably not, but I guess I'll never know.
Also, Next works reasonably well as a static site generator, too.
Well, I have USB3 problems with all my AMD machines which makes e.g. attaching a VR headset reliably difficult. Random quickly repeated disconnects of devices due to a buggy chip from ASMedia/ASUS that AMD uses everywhere. I like TDP of the current gen though AMD turned to an even worse company than Intel in how it treats Threadripper users. DisplayPort over USB-C might not work either.

It's why I find it hard to take the "woe is me, why won't anyone pay for real journalism" pleas seriously when it feels so irresponsible to trust these companies with your credit card details. And this isn't a new problem to the internet, it was also the case with "delivered to your local store" subscriptions in the past
The thing is, Relativity Space doesn't really disclose much about how the rocket is made. They say it's some percentage 3D printed by weight, but that doesn't really tell you if, for example, they use carbon fiber COPVs for the fuel tanks inside.

We don't really know that 3D printing saves them much time. Rockets are large cylinders, which there are other efficient ways to manufacture. Other companies will 3D print parts of rocket engines. I'm sure Relativity Space does as well, but they probbaly do that separately from the main body of the rocket with some hand assembly after.
Of what I saw mr. Chew did quite well.
OpenAI is big tech. Also, Apple has nowhere near the AI/ML staff that the rest of the tech giants have.
From the company’s perspective it’s a straightforward calculation.

Considering that this will only apply to failing products, the price they can expect to get for it is negligible, more so considering the buyer is going to be a handful of regular employees rather than a big company. So selling vs killing makes no material difference to their bottom line.

On the other side, there’s a mountain of due diligence they have to do to make sure that the decision is sensible. Is the product tied to the company’s brand at all? Will it reflect badly on them if the new owners decide to take it in some different direction? Or can it be used to compete with the company in the future? Does it have user data? Are they in accordance with the TOS and a thousand data laws when selling it to someone else?

So from the business side the sensible answer is usually to just kill the product.
Wait so they tested if it detects sarcasm, it failed, and then they were like "let's pretend this never happened" and wrote "We did not test for the ability to understand sarcasm"?

As they discuss in the study, it depends on the definition of AGI, GPT-4 is not an AGI if the more stringent definitions are used.
The article axiom is an extension of the famous John Watson[1] quote :
"Be Kind; Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle"

Which naturally extends to "You don't know", and I believe, the equivalent of this 2004 article. Now, as the article suggests, this is best shown - instead of explained.

A Neuroscientist was interviewed in a podcast [2] and illustrated this point with a story. He tells of a time when he dated long distance. Whenever he called his gf, she would ask him to call back and do facetime instead. At first, he thought it was cute, but eventually this quirk started eating at him, making him irritated. Finally, he built the nerve to ask. Why do you always want to do facetime ?

She explained that whenever he calls, she literally couldn't picture him in her head. Apparently she had a rare and poorly research condition[3], where the affected person cannot mentally draw a picture of the interlocutor (caller). So for the gf, resorting to facetime was the only thing that she could do, in order to picture of him.

You can't tell people anything = You just don't know. One of the same. Egotistic vs Humble. Take your pick.

Sure: I readily accept that this is a generational thing. But it's being presented as a culture war shift, when plenty of people in the comments here have observed that Stanford's policy has not meaningfully changed in the last 20 years.

I think banning alcohol on campus is foolish, and leads to worse overall outcomes. I also think this article's framing is dishonest and intentionally tendentious.
You know, I said from the start: if the messaging around the pandemic actually matched reality, if cars were sliding off roads like a Hollywood movie (and this article tacitly suggests) you wouldn't have to work so hard to convince people to isolate, etc. Even then, as we knew and now know, masking and staying indoors would only do so much. But it wasn't that way, and we all know it. "Bad at underwater basket weaving" is how this article reads. It jumps the shark. It asks questions because it could hardly make an assertion like this.

Accountability (including the light form of it represented it by explanation) is super useful in refining personal development.

Agreed. I was having similar feelings reading comments.
There is a huge untapped market segment here. It's only a matter of time before someone makes it happen.

Honestly, I see the biggest problem that people have entering the ortholinear/ergonomic keyboard market is cost: the obvious choice is to target mechanical keyswitches, but you quickly realize your consumer base would rather pay more (in parts cost and construction effort) to get exactlty what they want.

But what if you went as cheap as possible instead? What if you made flat rubber dome boards that cost next to nothing to manufacture; and sold them for $40 a pop? You would probably broaden your target audience by a factor of 100, and have huge profit margins.

Doing that for an integrated laptop keyboard would be even easier to sell. I would gladly use shitty rubber dome switches if it meant having a split ortho layout that I didn't have to lug around separately from my laptop. I would buy that yesterday.
You're describing external phenomena. Our experience of consciousness / qualia is simultaneously "known" and ineffible. How can we talk about what consciousness isn't, when we can't even talk about what it is?

> It's really hard to make that happen, this is going to be much more useful for existing businesses adding functionality to existing projects. Or random devs just making stuff. Making fast money out of it, it seems v difficult.

Absolutely correct. This is what the AI hype squad and the HN bubble misses again. This is only useful to existing businesses (summarization the only safe use-case) or random devs automating themselves out of irrelevance. All of this 'euphoria' is around for Microsoft's heavy marketing from its newly acquired AI division.

This is a obvious text book example of mindshare capture and ecosystem lock-in. Eventually, OpenAI will just slowly raise prices and break / deprecate older models to move them onto newer ones and pay to continue using them. It is the same decade old tactics.
Elon, not me, made it sound like that. Let's not distract from the core argument though... took money in for non-profit for transparency in AI research and turned around and made it for profit and super anti-transparent. But that's just saying why I can't trust him (sama) The rest of the reasons are not about him and of significant importance.

I think ChatGPT plugins may be what solves this problems. Does IMDB have an API?
I think RWKV ameliorates this to some degree:

How it works: RWKV gathers information to a number of channels, which are also decaying with different speeds as you move to the next token. It's very simple once you understand it.

RWKV is parallelizable because the time-decay of each channel is data-independent (and trainable). For example, in usual RNN you can adjust the time-decay of a channel from say 0.8 to 0.5 (these are called "gates"), while in RWKV you simply move the information from a W-0.8-channel to a W-0.5-channel to achieve the same effect.
Well the inference time of gpt4 seems to be far greater than gpt3, so it could hint a difference in parameters count.
So all this article is really trying to communicate is that you can't get people on board with your product/software without them seeing/using it first. It's the general idea behind the MVP strategy that ycombinator teaches.
I would checkout Vue. It's much more user friendly IMHO.
What everi
That's highly unlikely. I think most people can't fathom how huge is the scale of GPT-4 and what computing power it requires. Even if 10x optimizations, 10x performance and 10x memory (highly unlikely in 5 years) that's not going to be sufficient to run it locally.
Or “multiplex” fine-tuning with inference, ie. do fine-tuning for 100ms, inference for 100ms, then tuning again… etc

Btw, is there a way to combine two or more models?

So for example, if I create 5 copies of a model, then fine-tune each copy with a different dataset -> can the 5 datasets be merged together somehow to create a model that has the learning of the 5?
Why do companies with lots of individuals tend to get a lot of things done, especially when they can be subdivided into groups of around 150?

Dunbars number is thought to be about as many human relationships can track. After that the network costs of communication get very high and organizations can end up in internal fights. At least that is my take on it.

We are developing a technology that currently has a small context window, but no one I know has seriously defined the limits of how much an AI could pay attention to in a short period of time. Now imagine a contextual pattern matching machine that understands human behaviors and motivations. Imagine if millions of people every day told the machine how they were feeling. What secrets could it get from them and keep? And if given motivation would havoc could be wrecked if it could loose the knowledge on the internet all at once?
> > Apple has a ridiculous, almost unfathomably deep moat for training and running [LLMs]...

> Do they? I can completely fathom, given my own anecdotal experiences, how garbage Siri quality is today.

Siri is a dead end. When Jobs bought Siri (what, 10 years ago?) he explicitly junked almost all the AI back end, mainly buying the speech recognition engine. I didn't understand why and still don't (but strangely he didn't ask me :-).

John Giannandrea has run Apple's AI effort for the past five or six years. He is the reason Google has a big AI effort (he consolidated a bunch of AI projects and bought Deep Mind, etc) before he decamped for Apple. For all I know the Siri team isn't even part of his remit.

You can never look into Apple (even if you work there) so one can only speculate based on what visible signs appear. But Siri isn't one of them.

According to their own website, 90 percent of FTND attendees end up agreeing that "pornography releases the same chemicals in your brain as other hard drugs" compared to 43 percent who believed this prior to their presentation. FTND is advertising their ability to successfully spread false information.

Quite a lot of science fiction authors did indeed see this coming.
I am personally a really huge fan of cutlass, and I've almost read every single file in their `include/cutlass/` folder (haven't followed up with the `cute` stuff yet).

Just like you said, really appreciate that we could actually understand what is going on internally inside the kernel with cutlass, and customize it in a way that cuBLAS doesn't necessarily provide.

Have to agree with you that the template stuff is really annoying. Well, even with some template tricks, the error messages are still less readable, and it is where I think a better abstraction could benefit. Imagine you have an abstraction that simplifies the those threadblocks/warps/etc in a unified way while generalizing it to more backends (AMDGPU, Vulkan, AVX512-VNNI, etc), providing more friendly error messages along compilation given the abstraction is almost certainly more structured than pure c++ code.
Wow that’s really something, thanks for the additional info
"People who stay, actually want to stay."

That depends on how you define "want".

Amish are ostracized by their family and community if they leave. That's some massive coercion right there: either stay or lose your connection to the people you're closest to and everything you've ever known and raised to believe your whole life.

Not much of a choice, though some exceptionally independent people do manage to make that sacrifice.
Counterpoint: whatever you define as individual "AI person" entitled to some rights, that "species" will be able to reproduce orders of magnitude faster than us - literally at the speed of moving data through the Internet, perhaps capped by the rate at which factories can churn out more compute.

So imagine you grant AI people rights to resources, or self-determination. Or literally anything that might conflict with our own rights or goals. Today, you grant those rights to ten AI people. When you wake up next day, there are now ten trillion of such AI persons, and... well, if each person has a vote, then humanity is screwed.
Simple, you make a local copy of the internet.

Both React's and NextJS' marketing is straight-up obnoxious.

Currently, React Router is the only React framework that is even offering a solution to data fetching, mutations and transitions in the CSR space. Very basic problems.
