Is it just people clicking 'yes' reaction to internal slack message ? This didn't sound like they were making any commitment ' to the company' .

Also do you have any comment about the title of the article that you linked. Does that seem honest to you?
Ask HN: Will Large Language Models be like another industrial revolution
1 year ago I thought GPT style models were cool and useful, but nothing too revolutionary. I had tried copilot but that too felt like not an extreme advantage for typed languages over something like IntelliJ.

However, I have been trying GPT4 and seeing the rate of progress, and it all seems too much progression too fast. GPT4 is crazy good on all kinds of things (e.g. I asked it to make changes to python C internals to support some new language features and it came up with sensible changes). Unlike GPT3.5, I have so far not seen GPT4 just make up code functions. It hallucinates but the frequency seems much lesser. And with the pace that OpenAI is developing new things, it seems like it is even hard to predict what these models will be doing in 2 years.

Do you think we are witnessing the start of something with similar impact as the industrial revolution, but happening even faster and will dramatically change human civilisation?

Why? Is there some natural law that gives me ownership to the meaning of the words I say? That bars you from repeating that meaning in those words?
yes, that was so wild. What a great tool this could have been.
But that's all of life, too, isn't it? If you host a party in real life that serves alcohol to minors and get caught, you'll face more annoying consequences than a 1 year party moratorium.

> moving forward requires EVEN LARGER accelerators for higher energies

Right, I recently saw a presentation my an experimentalist arguing that after HL-LHC[1] (a major upgrade to LHC), the next sensible size for a LHC-style collider would be one that occupied the Gulf of Mexico. And they meant literally[2], the proposal was to have submerged segments, using existing technology from the offshore oil industry, spanning the gulf.

First time they've put a product out that matches my requirement: large screen, decent GPU, AMD CPU.

But argh ... no numpad, so no can use Blender on it :(

[EDIT]: aha, but I read:

Input Module system

When starting the design of a larger screen laptop, one of the key questions was: Numpad, or no numpad? After performing some market research, we found out there is almost exactly a 50/50 split between people who love and need numpads and people who hate them. We used this as an opportunity to not only let you pick your preference there, but also completely customize the input experience.

Very nice
Is there a transcript of that? The exact sentence please.
Yep, our AI voice equivalents could maintain friendships with each other in which case the "what is the point?" question applies. Or, you might reach out for real but fail to be sure if you're talking to your real friend or not.

Or how about this interesting second-order effect: email. Soon Office will include advanced AI capabilities to write and reply to email.

What is the point of me reading it? If my AI can generate a satisfactory reply, your AI could have generated the response too. No email needed, nor a reply.

We're now in a phase where anybody can generate spectacular art. What is the point of me looking at your generated art? AI can generate personalized art based on what it knows I like.

If AI works, and it's headed that way, you keep ending up at the same question: what is the point of anything?

> I also assume that preservation of books will be a priority for at least some people even in near-apocalyptic circumstances, and that material conditions would improve markedly after only a few years.

I agree, but "in in near-apocalyptic circumstances" they'll only preserve the stuff they value or find useful. I don't think redundant, low-print volume academic specialist works will fall into those categories. Unless there's enough surplus that the university continues to function as such, those books (along with dissertations, most academic papers and archives) will rot on the shelves.

In the aftermath of a full-on nuclear war, I'd expect the English-speaking word would experience huge, unrecoverable losses in areas beyond the undergrad level. Advanced work that's famous and highly-cited enough to be in a South American or African university probably would be an exception, though.
What you’re talking about flies in the face of the entirety of the western legal tradition.

It is explicitly a property right. Hence the phrase “intellectual property”.
Too runny. Pizzas I use olive oil on always end up messy as hell. Tomato politely stays put under the cheese, any exposed sauce cooks and dries so it's not runny, and oils and greases from other sources tend to sit on top of it rather than displacing it and turning into a kind of icky liquid-fat blend.

I still use it for certain pies, but would absolutely not rate it higher than tomato sauce for this purpose, overall.
Most people speak their thoughts silently, and that "speech" must trigger the same neurons that do regular speech. This will be the basis of the mind-reading devices. Abstract thoughts cannot be read this way, but how many know what an abstract thought even is?

The reality is that virtually all of the public AI tech available right now is from OpenAI. Over time as more models are commercialised and generally available, it's probable that Helicone will serve them too.

Compared to every other search engine, it suddenly seemed like Google had everything that was on the web, and it was likely to find whatever obscure thing you were looking for and put it as the first result. It really did feel like magic compared to everything else, and I remember hearing many people who spent very little time on the internet also talk about how amazed they were.

Google search probably is a better service than it originally was, but the combination of SEO and the rapid increase in complete garbage online probably explains why searching disappointing so much of the time now. Sadly they've also removed a lot of powerful features such as operators, and integrated calculations that were similar to Wolfram Alpha.
Do you have a source for this? Because my experience tells me quite the opposite.

The difficulty with toxic gases is in the delivery method. For example Chlorine gas at hundreds of PPM still takes several minutes of inhalation to be fatal, and it is a strong irritant so everyone will know it's there and be trying their hardest to get away from it. So you either need to trap someone in a very enclosed space or release ridiculous amounts of it very quickly. Viable for trench warfare, but not much else.

Realistically you need something odorless (=exotic enough the human nose hasn't evolved to detect it), fast acting (=highly reactive/unstable), and dangerous at low concentrations (=likely to kill you while making it).

I've been what felt like pretty close to a lightning strike before, but I don't remember noticing anything like that. I was close enough that everything around me was illuminated like a camera flash, the sky behind the trees nearby looked bright white when it was a rainy, cloudy grey just moments before. The shadows on the ground looked stark and crisp and very long. The flash of light and the sound were simultaneous as far as I could tell. But the strangest thing for me, which I had never experienced before, was I could feel the ground shake as well. At first I thought it was some kind of explosion but as I ran as fast as I could I realized it must have been lightning.

The scariest part was later when I went to check again what the speed of sound was and I saw about 340 m/s, then I realized for the sound to be apparently simultaneous with the light, it would probably have had to have been no more than 250 ms behind the flash, conservatively, or I probably would have noticed the delay. Using that as an upper bound it puts the strike at no more than 85 meters away. Realistically it might have been in the neighborhood of 50ms, as I don't think I could perceive that difference at all. That would have put it about 17 meters away, but I wonder then if I would have been within range for electrocution had that been the case. The ground was soaked but I was walking on asphalt, if that makes any difference. Searching now I see lightning can arc horizontally on the ground around 20m, so maybe it was really somewhere between 50 and 250 meters away.
I don't think they ever planning on building 50 of them. If they can get reusability sorted out quickly, they're unlikely to ever need more than a dozen or so.

These are great! we looked into using reflare as well, however reflare does not support streaming at the moment. We are looking to give back to the community and add it for them.

I opened this issue up last week
https://github.com/xiaoyang-sde/reflare/issues/443
When in human history have we ever intentionally not furthered technological progress? It's simply an unrealistic proposition, especially when the costs of doing it are so low that anyone with sufficient GPU power and knowledge of the latest research can get pretty close to the cutting edge. So the best we can hope for is that someone ethical is the first to advance that technological progress.

I hope you wouldn't advocate for requiring a license to buy more than one GPU, or to publish or read papers about mathematical concepts. Do you want the equivalent of nuclear arms control for AI? Some other words to describe that are overclassification, export control and censorship.

We've been down this road with crypto, encryption, clipper chips, etc. There is only one non-authoritarian answer to the debate: Software wants to be free.
Which is why you get a salt-water pool. So much better!
I disagree. Google's search engine was orders of magnitude ahead of everyone else's when it came out. Like it actually worked vs all the others that did some mediocre keyword matching and could be moderately useful if you were good with boolean operators.

Gmail, which another poster described, was also mind blowing at the time.

Google Maps, and the fact that you could scroll across a map smoothly was mind blowing at the time, and really redefined what was possible with xml http request, and "web 2.0"

These are the biggest that come to mind and its somewhat telling that Google Maps was the latest, and I believe launched in 2005 or 2006.

There were lots of other products that were less impressive, but definitely a step ahed of just about everyone out there- google finance, the "office" suite- do kids in school even install MS Office anymore? It used to be a defacto must have piece of software, I haven't had it on a personal machine in years now...

And a lot of stuff that looked like it was going to be something very big, but died on the vine. Google Voice, Google Reader, Google Image search come to mind here.

Then from a pure tech side of things, Go, Kubernetes, Node.js, the early hadoop and "big data" tools, all came from Google as well. But maybe getting back to your point, their backend stuff has not really turned into an "astonishing" user facing product in quite some time.
It's not about hardware capability. Google seems like it's not truly committed to Bard or supporting it with its full power

> "...only over the past decade has the school gone all-in on an ecosystem of startup-supporting programs, turning classrooms into job fairs and students into entrepreneurs-to-be, and effectively handing the keys of the campus to venture capitalists....The most important support system today is the network of people — and cash — who now populate and surround the institution, hunting for investments."

That's what students (more likely their parents) are now forking over $56K in tuition (not counting cost-of-living expenses) per year to gain access to. It certainly looks like the rise of elitist networking in the British Eton etc. school model. The recent spate of college-admission-payola scandals also point in that direction.
Even in Italy we say Italian pizza and Neapolitan pizza are distinct concepts. Sicilian pizza too, to be clear. Italian pizza definitely comes from the export of Neapolitan pizza. Oh wait, then there is Roman-style pizza! It's very nuanced.

There's concerns for resistance in some non-bleach compounds, especially chlorhexidine.

Bleach though remains pretty much microbial napalm, with some exceptions (prions, norovirus & C. difficile spores at the dilutions a lot of people use).

By far the bigger risk for bleach, IMO, is chemical exposure hazards.

Whenever anyone says "you can just," they're probably being unreasonable and not understanding the problem.

I wouldn't tell someone to bring their own soap unless they're travelling to a 3rd world country. It's quite reasonable to expect basic hygiene products to not destroy your hands.

Sounds like someone in HR just is ignoring the requests. Someone should call OSHA.
Computer Science is, by definition, math.

Coding and software construction is engineering or craft, and is not Computer Science.

LLMs are neither. They are power tools for concept realization.

Its interesting to compare it to Tesla.

At the same volume, Tesla had a -20% EBITA, Ford has -40%. Ford once do 2 million EVs in 5 years. Tesla did 1.4 million in that time. Ford is targeting 8% margin, Tesla had 16% margin.

So Ford expects to grow the EV business at an really, really high rate. I question weather that will actually be possible. There will be quite the battle over the supply chains in the next 5 years and literally every company has announced pretty high targets.

What will also be interesting to see is when will the traditional business really start to do badly and shrink.

More direct concern: PII leaking from end-users will be a problem if the usage of this service isn't made clear and consented with from each individual. I really think the responsible thing by providers like OP is to remind their customers about this.

If you have end-users in for example EU then integrating a service like Helicone would usually require new informed consent to be legal.

We're currently between coherent future aesthetics in our society. The "Apple store minimalism" trend is in decline, and there isn't really a good candidate to take its place. Ironically, this leads to people going retro for their futurism. Personally, I'm holding out for a Art Deco revival, but the 80's neon definitely has its charms.
> Why optimize for the one-time thing at the expense of the everyday use?

I'm not necessarily endorsing this perspective, and it depends on the specifics, but there are cases where this makes business sense. If you take a task that requires an expensive expert and make it something that an unskilled worker can do then you you can lower overall labor costs even if each user is less efficient in the new system.
I wasn't actually referring to Lanier because he's mostly been a lone voice in the woods, even as he's highly influential in some circles. I was actually referring to the noisy self-promoters currently polluting Hacker News with their AI posts, but now that you mention it, maybe Lanier fits that category of insightful people with few followers. How long has he been telling people to delete social media? How long have people been ignoring him? The world is finally coming around and I for one would be glad for him to become as famous as some of the noisy ones.
Yeah I'm confused about that too. Not to mention most commercial paper towels are the brown unbleached kind. Meanwhile toilet paper I've never seen unbleached...

But there is something I've also always found very mildly irritating specifically about unbleached brown paper towels, as well as uncoated corrugated cardboard. Just kind of like a micro-scratchiness.

Currently they have a special model called "Plugins" which is presumably tuned for tool use. I guess they have extended ChatML to support plugins (e.g., `
use_plugin` or something to signal intent to use a plugin) and trained the model on interactions consisting of tool use.

I'm interested to see if this tuned model will become available via the API, as well as the specific tokenization ChatGPT is using for the plugin prompts. If they have tuned the model towards a specific way to use tools, there's no need to waste time with our own prompt engineering like "say %search followed by the keywords and nothing else."
Thinking that the federal state, in the USA, is a representative democracy is delusional. It's an oligarchy, where power is shared between different interests coalition, such as the war industry, the financial sector, the ruling families, and so on.

"Vote for those who align your worldviews" in a bipartisan political system is laughable, same as "lobbying". JPMorgan can indeed lobby to protect its interests, regular citizens can't, or have to waste an amount of energy so high, for results so meaningless while doing it that it's useless in the end. Hence, the real citizens are the ones who have access to the system, be them corporations or oligarchs.

But to go back to the original argument, what's the problem here? All of this is virtual and doesn't affect the real world. Unlike the US banking system that needs taxpayer's money to bail itself out every 15 years like clockwork, the crypto space lives on its own.

Truth is, this crackdown is quite beneficial to the ecosystem, as all devs are leaving the US, or will have to. In the end we'll have a much more balanced tech sector, unlike now where the USA imposes its cultural norms and practices on the rest of the world.
