The media even addressing a subject at all is already something. Critical people can become aware and look for other sources.

The real power of the media isn't in how they tell a story, but which story they tell at all.

Even as trust in the media tends to zero, their power of setting the agenda is unharmed. Which is why they don't care about lying. Yes, you can tell the opposite story and try to counter their narrative, but there's absolutely nothing at all you can do to fight their control of people's attention.

So many important things just aren't reported. You can debate the ineffectiveness of recycling. You can try to get attention to actual real pollution that's harming people in the present, causing cancer. And you can try to fight the destructive narrative of climate change. There's no way to get people to grok that the least harmful pollution is CO2. Or that the entire environment movement has been successfully derailed completely from the real priorities in actual reality.

There's absolutely no way to fix up people's attention and priorities after they are tainted by the media. You can somewhat fight them about what's true, but it's an absolutely lost cause fighting them about what's important. Which is why they don't care about lying at all. Just like advertisements dont care about lying.

Everyone's laughing at how ChatGPT would rather let people die than utter racial slurs, but that's because most of his training gave attention to racial slurs than to human lives. But humans aren't different, and the media produces all the input.

I see what you did there.
Or, more importantly than in AWS, locally in disconnected or poorly connected scenarios like in-vehicle or in-home.
The Problem with AI Is the Problem with Capitalism
This is really great news and something I felt was missing from the market so far. It seems everyone wants to create `moats` or walled-gardens with some aspect of their models etc.

Nice job DataBricks, nice numbers too. Looking forward to more improvements.
perfect. this is what I’ll try to build as a game you can play together built only by chatgpt

I think it's interesting that the description of the 'Speak' plugin blatantly violates the OpenAI's rules, since it explicitly tells the model when it should use the plugin. I wonder if they made those rules in response to this plugin.

I smell something, sure. But I don’t believe it’s chlorine gas.
I wonder if they found it by turning on their own secret detection system?
Maybe they don't consider it a security check.
for anyone who thinks "we should weed out the bad cops, then things will be good":

"Ultimately, the reporters “found 300 cases in the past decade where an officer helped expose misconduct…The vast majority of those cases ended with those whistleblowers saying they faced retaliation.” Carroll’s piece continues to delve into different reporters’ thoughts about the whistleblower cases they analyzed and the stories they learned about. Read the article here."

Policing in its current state can't be reformed. Either that or we've got a lot of weeding to do.

You hope. Personally, I've seen Bing ask me questions about my prompts that were surprising.
Does systemd really hardcode "/home" rather than use the user's actual home directory?
That is not what I asked.
That's a great point. While laptop makers who are used to the status quo probably aren't going to like this, the competitive gaming scene might like it a lot. A laptop where you can always have the latest greatest graphics card without replacing the whole laptop? You could charge a lot of money for that and it would still make financial sense for a certain type of person. I mean someone out there is buying the latest top of the line Razer Blade every year for like $4K right?
They really are bad, I don't think people get the full extent of it until they experience it first hand.

I've been in client meetings where the devs (and managers) from an offshore Indian consultancy were in. Putting aside the huge language barrier due to the thick accent, they were barely able to comprehend English instructions. And to top it all off, they simply didn't know what they were doing (in this case Salesforce). Literally the thing they were hired as "experts" in, they couldn't do. All with zero shame throughout the whole ordeal. But the cheap price-tag and mountains of hidden technical debt were worth it for the client it seems.

After the meeting and talking with the client, I went ahead and assigned a go-getter junior from our side to research and figure out what needed to be done, handed it on a platter to them after a few hours, and they still couldn't figure it out when I asked about it weeks later.

What they were experts in, though, is re framing their failings on something or someone else. Instead of "we don't know where to find the API keys for this Salesforce API in the Salesforce GUI (and can't be bothered to google it)", they say "we would like to have a workshop about how you are integrating with our Salesforce API." where they weasel information out of others and make it seem like other parties did something wrong.
Indeed, some people are doing this:

- WASI once had an official polyfill https://wasi.dev/polyfill/, now apparently succeeded by https://github.com/bjorn3/browser_wasi_shim

- wasmer-js provides a JS polyfill for WASI https://docs.wasmer.io/integrations/js/wasi

- Cloudflare has a WIP polyfill https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-wasi

I'm generally leery of non-temporary polyfills, so I'm not sure that any of these feel like a long-term viable option for me.
The answer to all your questions is money.
>I’ve always been a bit skeptical of applying copyright to compiled and opaque binaries, but I guess I’m in the minority.

You're not in the minority - copyright requiring human authorship and creativity is standing law. A compiled binary cannot be copyrighted on it's own[0]; the copyright flows from the source to the binaries via derivative works. We just don't normally think about this because until very recently all binaries were derivatives of copyrightable human creative expression. Applying a mechanical process to a creative work doesn't make it non-creative, after all.

[0] Hand-assembled binaries would be considered "source code" in this case.
>> Attempts to make their world risk free has turned it into "fuck up once and we'll destroy you".

>> TBH I think it is a much bigger problem that low-stakes hyper-local issues have been elevated into proxy battles for national politics.

Ironically, another hyper-local problem that's been elevated at the national level is the shoplifting epidemics that's happening not far from Stanford.

I can't help but to be amazed at the completely different treatment a shoplifting thug will receive (absolutely no repercussion) vs a model Stanford student who has one (victimless) mishap (bullied to suicide by bureaucrats).

Truly mind boggling.
Primes is a really good example because half of the proof is trivial (if I give you a factor, you can verify compositeness trivially), but verifying the other half is a pretty big number theory rabbit hole.

As I mentioned yesterday, I really hope that it becomes possible to DIY designs, whether with thin-enough modular scissor keys, or by opening the thickness requirements of the keyboard.

Perhaps there could be alternate tall hinges and a thicker bezel filling the gap to make room for discrete keyswitches without sacrificing thickness for normal users?

Their revenue per employee shows an interesting history including what would now be considered over hiring recently... but there's also a distinct downward trend for the revenue per employee.

I interpreted this to mean that the plugins are actually client-side software, so of course there are client-side checks to confirm the allowed usage. That's why I can use a client-side proxy to access them. Right?
The problem is a lot of it cuts both ways... a lot of cops see misconduct investigations and a LOT of them are either unsubstantiated or lies. It's really impossible to know from the outside and onset. In the case of Floyd, for example, I don't know anyone, cop or not, that didn't think that was excessive force and completely wrong.

The union is supposed to serve the police, and that includes legal protection... your lawyer is going to back you, that's how the system works. Would you want a defense lawyer that was against you?

I know it's pretty simplistic, but that's largely what it comes down to... I'm not supporting police misconduct at all. I think that civil asset forfeiture is a crime, I think that police spend too much time trying to make criminals out of innocent people... Once at an accident where I was rear ended, "why is your seatbelt unbuckled?" I was kind of pissed, because, "I needed to get my insurance and registration from the glove box."

In the end, I get it... I do feel, however, that the ACAB is oversized because a lot of it is over-reported or misrepresented.

I'm also not that inclined to generally and blindly support police. They are agents of the govt's interests and not yours. They serve the govt and the govt is too split from general good and in favor of the wealthy and powerful. And I also think that enforcing draconian lockdowns in many places didn't gain them any favor with anyone these past few years.

Again, most cops are mostly good, like most people. And like most people they will bend to peer pressure, anxiety, stress and their environment. You really want to see people with a bent personality, talk to the guys that have to clean up traffic accidents sometime... They're quasi police and complete alcoholics for the most part. That's a job nobody should have for an extended period of time. It's extreme, but only to show that one's own experiences will shape their perception.

Of course, I am biased, I just make an effort to be level headed as much as possible.
IANAL and that's my point, it's not an easy question with a clear cut answer;) if you say a legal issue is clear then you better know what you're talking about my friend, because they rarely are.

If you think the article is too general, I think you have not read it. There is very practical information as to how this law works in various jurisdictions. You can also see Wikipedia for "model release". You will see contradictory information of course, because it's not a clear cut issue. But the takeaway is, if I take a video of you at a mall being weird and use it to make a viral music video on which I capitalize and which makes you uncomfortable, guess what you can (and should) sue me. Will you win? Maybe not, maybe yes, depends on how prominent your role is in the video I guess.
Sure. In software of mine distributed by Debian, there's usually a "debian/patches" directory, that I didn't add, that's changes the Debian project wanted to make to the system. I'm sure there's a formal name for that system. Most Debian packages seem to have one.

Things I enjoy don't pay enough to live a comfortable life. Tech does. So I do well enough at my job to pay for the things I enjoy, and hope I find enough edge cases at work to avoid burnout.

In a true post-scarcity society, where everyone has the freedom to choose a career based purely on fulfillment, your argument is excellent. Until then, however, it's not.

This has nothing to do with facebook. The foundational model here is GPT-J which is opensource and safe to use. Sadly, it is inferior to state-of-the-art models such as LLaMA.
General topic is independent disclosure. If something is more responsible or irresponsible is dependent on the context. In this specific situation I not seeing any reason why publicly disclosing this prior to notifying OpenAI would have been more responsible. Am I missing something?
A repeating issue I'll face when trying to 'juice' a bit is... mobile vs desktop.

That 'project management setup' animation is a good example. That is kind slick - definitely useful, and I've found myself coming up with things like that over time. It's not trivial, and takes some time. Then... "but it doesn't work on mobile!". You end up needing to build an entirely different "experience" for mobile users. Or... say "no support for mobile" (and possibly disable it in some sense?) Or let people live with a really bad shrunk down experience.

I know it's all about setting expectations and such, but it's still annoying. The types of 'juice' you'd introduce are going to be somewhat device and screen-size dependent.

I wonder if this is intentional. A lot of browser extensions including mine [0] take advantage of their "loose" endpoints to enhance the functionality of ChatGPT. I feel that this has definitely helped them.

Sort of disappointed on the comments so far: everyone seems to want to argue the definition rather than examining the approach taken by the author, which is the more interesting point in the article.

I'd rather see more arguments on the quality of the process (this comment seems to - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35287984) and whether or not it works as a satisfactory means. Whether or not you agree with the answer is secondary.

This is the correct answer.

Please, no. This is not (yet) 2008 2.0.

Unless you're a company that made a huge bet which has yet to pay off (ahem, Meta), this doesn't really signal anything out of the ordinary.

The juiciest. Our group of friends still loves using the iOS version of your app on game night. I hadn’t been familiar with the term juicy, but I always hoped more non-game apps would take lessons from your brilliant design.

QMK support on a laptop's internal keyboard would be fantastic! I've gotten very used to my corne, and switching to using my laptop's keyboard on the rare occasions when I need to is a bit disorienting.
If you google for language learning apps you get a list of results, dominated by ads at the top but rife for exploring if you are inclined to wade through it.

If you ask ChatGPT it will simply say Duolingo (as they are a partner currently) and you don't even click through as it throws right to it inline.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia is exploited in the design of cars and appliances but never before by software to this extent. For most people due to the nature of the conversational interface it feels no different than texting a trusted friend. This is probably accidental, one might note it is yet another unexpected emerging property.

In other words if you think para-social relationships on social media were bad for humans you ain't seen nothing yet. Now your search engine is your fren.
I used to really enjoy the All In Podcast. However their recent "all in for their best interests" was too much for me. The topic of interest rates vs. not having a recession is really complicated. I believe that long term extremely high inflation would be much more crushing for middle and lower income segments of the population since they don't have the kinds of real assets that float as the dollar floats. This is why I personally believe that raising rates is required.

I believe that the character and soul of a society is how well they give less privileged people at least a chance to earn shelter and food. I was less extreme in my views before I started volunteering at a local food bank and got to know people whose lives collapsed because of one bad family illness, etc.

Over calling OSHA (or, worse, threatening to call them). OSHA is no joke, and employers strongly dislike drawing their attention. Some companies react with the corporate interpretation of "snitches get stitches".

So my advice is that you don't point the gun at your employer in an attempt to coerce them into action. If OSHA intervention is necessary, just call them.
> Meta really botched the Llama release.

It's no surprise really though, from what I see they recognised some way to monitize and rolled back their commitment.

But this Dolly doesn't depend on Llama (unless I'M missing something), so you don't have to use it.
Why? Dolly had nothing to do with Llama or its weights.

Besides: How would anyone ever know which model generated the output you are serving? AFAIK there is no fingerprint in any model’s output. And even if there was, it would probably be destroyed by fine tuning “over it”.
You can only approximate the attention layer if you don't want the O(T^2) speed but no "efficient attention" can beat the quadratic transformer bottleneck in terms of performance.
They're suing for among other things invasion of privacy, but is there a valid cause of action for that? IANAL but I thought it's been well-established that police officers have no expectation of privacy when performing their jobs. And in any event, isn't Ohio a one-party-consent state when it comes to electronic recordings?

(Without getting into value judgments and the wider context around this, of which there is plenty to say and which other commenters have covered pretty thoroughly)
There is no benefit to OpenAI not needing a data centre for their tech. The only ways they have to lock their tech up is safety and ethics theatre and the hardware budget required to run it.

if you work at OpenAI and you’re optimizing anything you’re not doing your job right.
I wouldn't say that it was SPA specifically. I think a lot of the issue is that a11y standards as described by WCAG and Section 508 can sometimes be extremely vague. When you start getting into "exotic" components, say things like carousels or modals, there is often no agreement on how they should be handled in a universal way. Organizations like NNG try to do their best providing research into these areas and there has been discussion about trying to nail down agreed upon standards, but at the current moment it has been hard to gain any kind of consensus.

I recently started my Masters and in my current role we deal with a11y issues on a daily basis due to our public presence. It can get so frustrating that I plan on doing my Masters thesis in this domain.
Yeah, someone leaned too hard on the Powerwords plug-in.
These aren't all management consultants. There's a lot of outsourced call centers, somewhat low-skill workers, systems integrators, etc. The vast majority do "real work" as opposed to just producing slideware. That said it's almost impossible to run a 800000 person company without treating your employees a bit like a herd of sheep.

However, it's an extremely effective business.
You're not wrong. I hear a lot about fears of AI taking jobs, fears of a chatbot singularity, fears of evil men exploiting humans with AI... all reasonable fears. That doesn't worry me; every technological advance since the industrial revolution has changed the job market, changed society, and provided more power to unscrupulous men! It's an age old story, not ideal, but not a new threat.

But you've identified what makes generative AI unique - it hijacks both the consumption and production side of our collective efforts to document human knowledge. There's a non-zero chance that this will cause a feedback loop whereby e.g. ChatGPT 27 is trained primarily on content generated by previous ChatGPTs, amplifying its errors and biases on every training run. Any subculture of human-generated information that is not represented in this loop from the start might effectively be erased and replaced by machine hallucinations.

As we seem eager to let this happen, it's easy to imagine how this feedback loop could lead to a full-blown epistemological crisis, essentially wiping out any social value or trust in any digital media. Without a basis for accurately recording history and facts, a complex society can't sustain itself. That's the real AI threat.
> Maybe you have some really complicated use case that makes cargo insufficient, but really, it's pretty damn nice and it's integrated with everything.

I feel like our use case at Grapl wasn't particularly crazy. It was just slightly more than "I'm a dev building a library and publishing it" - we had a workspace with multiple devs and CI/CD. CI/CD was really slow - issues with caching, rerunning unnecessary tests, etc.

Plus we had some Python code so unifying our builds would have been ncie.
But they're "using data from Alpaca". I don't know what that means, isn't Alpaca using data generated by ChatGPT, which isn't "clean" to use? Or data from Facebook, which isn't "clean" to use? I'm drowning.
