GPT-4 disagrees:

GPT-3.5, like its predecessor GPT-3, is not a Markov chain. GPT-3.5 is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, which is a type of neural network known as a Transformer. Transformers use self-attention mechanisms to process and generate text, allowing them to capture long-range dependencies and context in the input data.

On the other hand, a Markov chain is a stochastic model that describes a sequence of possible events, where the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. While Markov chains can be used for simple text generation, they lack the ability to capture the complex relationships and long-range dependencies that GPT-3.5 can handle.
And I could see some social media companies incentivizing longer prompt sessions for engagement and eyeballs. Not necessarily OpenAI.

Aka, the "Oopsy, I did a poo-poo! Dear User pays more attention to me when I smear it on the wall." mechanic.

Sorry for the metaphor, just registering awareness.
> but so are consequences and context.

The context is that students invited him to speak about topics unrelated to his controversial rulings (which for the record I think are terrible). The students who wanted to hear him speak are the one's who faced consequences here. As are any students who may disagree with him, but will one day have to argue in court in front of Federalist judges and would be aided by better understanding those same judges. The Judge himself suffered no consequence other than inconvenience and perhaps frustration. It is unclear how the mao-maoing of the judge before he spoke imposes any consequence on him or accomplishes anything other than undermining free and open intellectual exchange.

EDIT for those down voting, I'm curious to hear your specific disagreements.
You don’t have to code anything because it understands human language.

You just tell it “you now have access to search, type [Search] before a query to search it” and it can do it
> crucially let it update parts of itself

This seems like the furthest away part to me.

Put ChatGPT into a robot with a body, restrict its computations to just the hardware in that brain, set up that narrative, give the body the ability to interact with the world like a human body, and you probably get something much more like agency than the prompt/response ways we use it today.

But I wonder how it would do about or how it would separate "it's memories" from what it was trained on. Especially around having a coherent internal motivation and individually-created set of goals vs just constantly re-creating new output based primarily on what was in the training.
It's not "monopolizing" the "frame" for a person to take a position and argue for it. And it's certainly not authoritarian.

In any debate, it is expected that each side will argue their own position and not the counter-position. If you disagree with the administration that the issue is a legal one, then that becomes a new point that one may debate.
> I would not be surprised if we see someone get swatted through GPT this year, I think it’s very likely to be within the next 2 or 3 years.

I think the, ummm, interesting thing will be swatting in say 50 different locales simultaneously. Each one could have multiple customized messages for the 911 operators.

Next up, Swatting as a Service powered by OpenAssistant!
My guess is the Dean's letter, which is well-researched and filled with citations to CA and federal law, will be referenced by administrators at other schools. I don't think it will become as well-known as the Chicago Principles, but it will be used to give legal heft to such principles.

Of course, some schools and administrators will completely ignore it. But I doubt the Dean will be walking this back. Stanford's President took the unusual move of signing his name to the original apology, and he has surely reviewed this letter. He's in her corner on this (at least as long as he remains president...).
> As to the 24 FPS feel of cinema, it's entirely what one is accustomed to.

Yep, and it’s also mistakenly assumed to be a necessary ingredient of all the great films you remember, rather than a nearly unavoidable ingredient. After all, those great films were all 24 FPS! And they used that medium in really creative and technically proficient ways!

And that’s true and great. But all the bad films were also 24 FPS, and it would be weird to say “imagine how much worse that terrible low budget film from 1978 would have been if they had modern professional digital cameras and shot in 48 FPS.”
“Tough to cancel subscriptions” and “not tough to cancel subscriptions” are both subsets of “all subscriptions”.

If the FTC has their way and the rules are effective, “tough to cancel subscriptions” no longer exist, and any subscriptions that previously belonged to that set now exist in the “not tough to cancel subscriptions” set.

Effectively banning them.

That’s how I interpret the title.
I'd love to see a short paper on the difference between hollering and heckling that you perceive.

The idea that it is some kind of "veto" is again to misattribute power to the powerless. This figurative and hyperbolic language ('veto', 'witch hunt', etc.) clouds judgment.

This isn't the UN security council. This is a lot of horrified young people attempting to find self-expression. Sometimes, it's messy.

> - Relativity Space was founded in 2016. Just to compare, Blue Origin was founded in 2000. It serves as a stark example of how throwing money at something doesn't necessarily solve problems. Who would've thought in 2000 that 23 years later Blue Origin still wouldn't have reached orbit?

I'm as unimpressed by Blue Origin's (non-results) as the next person, but at the same time from the article it sounds like both co-founders came from Blue Origin...

It's ironic that a few months ago Amazon laid off parts of the Alexa team and 'conversational' was considered failed. Then ChatGPT, etc happened. What Alexa wanted to build with Alexa skills, ChatGPT does much more effortlessly.

It's also an interesting case study. Alexa foundationally never changed. Whereas OpenAI is a deeply invested, basically skunkworks, project with backers that were willing to sink significant cash into before seeing any returns, Alexa got stuck on a type of tech that 'seemed like' AI but never fundamentally innovated. Instead the sunk cost went to monetizing it ASAP. Amazon was also willing to sink cash before seeing returns, but they sunk it into very different areas...

It reminds me of that dinner scene in Social Network. Where Justin Timberlake says "you know what's f'ing cool, a billion dollars" where he lectures Zuck on not messing up with the party before you know what it is yet. Alexa / Amazon did a classic business play. Microsoft / OpenAI were just willing to figure it all out after the disruption happened where they held all the cards.

Fun fact, if you have spores you can create the conditions for them to become active for 24 hours or so. Then you can use a sanitizing method that's less intense. This is sometimes used in mushroom cultivation.
lol get f*cked
no one around me can imagine that people would not google stuff anymore and use a chatbot instead, so why should they be worried about their business that is driven by web traffic from google? all the while they stop googling on their own and only using chatGPT personally.

I think its a combination of not being able to imagine that this giant can fall like previous economic giants, in a rather short time, and things on the progress side (AI) moves TOO FAST for many to really grasp
I'm not sure that useMemo really is an effect in the sense that useEffect is. The useMemo callback is invoked synchronously during render, rather than getting pushed onto an effect queue like useEffect does.

Even useLayoutEffect goes on an effect queue, and if it results in changes, will need to render a second time, while a changed memo calculation happens entirely during the single render pass.
I like this perspective. The idea that Copyright is some kind of natural law or is inherently good needs to die. Copyright is a compromise between the goals of society and the need of authors to eat, but business models like "books as a service" maybe mean we should re-visit the compromise so commercial interests don't supersede those of human progress and well-being.
There's way too much hubris in this people. ChatGPT is great, a wonderful tool, and a force multiplier, but it cannot think for itself nor does it want to. We're still a ways away from sentience.
Unless you charge for providing services of value to people.
Don't come in here reading or thinking or "doing your own research." We're here to comply and Follow The Science. Like the article says, covid denial like this lowers your IQ, makes you bad at underwater basket weaving, as well as personally responsible for the rise in mass shootings. Besides, false flags are just a conspiracy theory and the government never lies.
Seatbelts were gaining adoption pretty damn fast before they got mandated. Ditto for safety glass, brake lights and airbags. I think if we didn't mandate them the only cars without them these days would be those ultra basic trims that they only make five of so they can advertise a low "starting at" number.

ABS and traction control are the questionable ones that saw their adoption plateau and probably wouldn't have the adoption they do without government. Modern collision avoidance stuff appears to be making its way through the market lightening quick without mandate.
Good counter. I have observed posts with denunciation of porn industry and its relevant activities get downvoted often. Whereas posts that celebrate its freedom and openness, get upvoted, and they all have a left leaning or libertarian bias.

That is where the speculation comes in. My hypothesis: HN crowd is more centered towards innovation and new ideas, and frown upon anything that mimics old regulations. I guess the porn industry is a ground of innovation and new ideas right now.
Not really-really (pizza with the same ingredients existed before, and it was just renamed as Margherita):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29132535

What is true is that pizza was common only in the south of Italy, but what made it more common in the north (I would say much later, in the '60's) was the flux of people relocating from the south to the north in those years.

> I think she has blame for NOT TAKING action against the hecklers.

Does that imply that, for you, (at least some forms of) heckling should not enjoy freedom of speech?

Because I get the idea of absolute free speech, but that'd include shouting over someone to drown out their message. If you start imposing restrictions on some forms of speech, it's not absolute any more and I think you ought to weigh reasons for imposing restrictions on any speech -- since freedom of speech isn't absolute any more.
That's pure madness.
Length decoding is a finite state machine, and the transition function of finite state machines is associative, which means you can actually compile them into a reduction tree to do it in parallel.

I don't think the x86 decoder is actually a particularly complex state machine (I haven't attempted to actually build it), so it's probably overall far less complex than most people assume it is.
As someone interested in pursuing similar ideas I would recommend taking a look at Object Capabilities and the E Language if you haven't already.

I believe Sandstorm.io (and Cap'n Proto) at least adopts some of the ideas.
I've worked in a few cleaning jobs as a student in the UK and I've always had to a have a mini induction on how to use cleaning fluids, which is v basic - don't mix certain types of cleaning fluids
You said it is "mostly not luck". I said and believe I did at least prove to a first approximation that it is indeed mostly luck. Yes, hard work matters at the margin. Among the people I studied with, those with a good work ethic are mostly in a better place today than those who slacked during college. But we were all able to attend college in the first place because we were very lucky, not because of any particular great achievements on our part. And in terms of standard of living and luxury, we are more or less all in the top 5% globally, I estimate.

Meanwhile I have worked and travelled across quite a few African countries and I can positively confirm that almost everyone I met there has worked quite a bit harder than I have throughout their lives and despite that, practically all are financially worse off than I am today.

I don't loose sleep over that, there is no cosmic balance I am upsetting with my privileged existence. But the least I and everyone else profiting from this privilege can do is to acknowledge it and stand in solidarity with efforts to redistribute some of that extreme profits that the most lucky people in our societies reap through no real sacrifice of their own.

Rich people should simply accept that they are rich mostly not because of their genius and/or hard work, but because of the privileges afforded to them by birth and chance, as well as the services provided to them by greater society. Consequently, I am all for enjoying the fruits of your labour but all this talk about systems like the U.S. "rewarding innovation" or "risk taking" etc. is simply propaganda by people who would rather see other people literally starve than lower their bank account balance from 10 to 8 figures.
Alexa and siri were always trash. They can’t even do basic things.

Nobody thought they were good, they were just shilled so that the chinese/advertisers could have a mic in every house
I'm not sure I agree. I can't recall specifics but back in the day a trick to get out of these was to report a card lost or stolen so you'd get a new number. But some banks now allow recurring charges to continue on the new number for "convenience" reasons.

Therefore you need to use a throwaway or cancel the card.

I got a card from X1 and am using it solely for my recurring services, since you can create unlimited virtual numbers and put price caps/age limits on them.

1. The fact that they are enforcing a false dilemma and refusing other options, does not stop it from being a false dilemma.

2. Yes it is. The conclusion that witchcraft exists is derived from the (actually still unproven) existence of witches. Which is also where the premise of the accusation comes from. Hence the circular reasoning. The more witches they burn, the more the reality of witchcraft becomes (in these minds), the more can be accused of it.

4. Maybe? There is almost certainly insufficient proof of anything the person has done proving "witchcraft", since witchcraft doesn't actually exist. These things were usually started by gossip (perhaps jealous housewives), anyway.

5- Yeah, fine, there was no other person mentioned, so this one is kinda weak, although the mere accusation of it "puts you in that group" so to speak

We could see it if the LTT account hadn't been taken over today, pushed crypto scams, and wasn't currently suspended ("the youtube account associated with this video has been terminated").
The relevant bit is that the guy that is supposedly "running" this alledged unregulated security exchange can't shut it down himself. How is he running it if he's got no actual power over it?
That reminds me of the very old arguments that people can't program computers to play chess better than they themselves did. Obviously false, as is this. There is no reason we can't build something that is smarter than we are.

It's not made OF human abilities, it's made BY human abilities - a completely different thing.

The analogy is even more apt when you think that most of the things Apple and Microsoft became big with in the 90's - like mouses and GUIs - were invented as Xerox but they failed to monetize, just like the basis for GTP came from Google and they failed to monetize (externally).

I don't think Google is as Xerox- or IBM-ified yet though, they might still bounce back with AI products.

Perhaps most authors wouldn't care, but identity validation would gut the concept of the pen name. And as beneficial as pen names are (allowing early women authors to publish books at all, providing an author an out if their name becomes too associated with one genre, protecting authors from fanatics), eliminating them in an attempt to prove whether a tool was used in a books creation is less than ideal.

And worse, I have my doubts that it would even work. See: counterfeiters on Amazon.
There's no retail way to try a Framework. This might not help you, but I've got a 13" MBP and 13" Framework both in my lap right now and can say if you absolutely can't stand having a laptop that doesn't meet Apple hardware fit and finish, just stick with Apple. The Framework's my daily driver, it's nice but not exceptional, and feels like the $1,000 laptop it is.

The value for me is entirely inside of it. This work-owned MBP is more likely to be in a landfill in 2 years than in use. Not only will the Framework still be kicking by that point, but I'll still have a use for some of the parts that I'll have replaced in it (a display, a mainboard, and two of the expansion cards) too.

If Mac repairability improves, even with Apple kicking and screaming the whole way, and if Asahi keeps improving and Apple doesn't backtrack on allowing it to work without hassle, that gap narrows and we can just worry about how these feel compared to each other rather than what they're capable of, and I'd be more likely to consider a Mac. Until then I'd rather be on the Framework, if only because it's set up exactly how I want it to be and I know I'll be in its ecosystem for a while yet.
I am very confident that in the current situation (looks at google), microsoft itself will HAPPILY shower wolfram in money just to make ChatGPT more powerful fast.

I didn't realize that that was a swiping animation. It might be cool to pair it with rotating the cube in the swipe direction just enough to show that there are sides with extra information as a brief animation, then have it come back into place, or even show a slight rotation towards whichever direction the cursor is closest to as it's moving away from the middle. Or even show it in a quick spin right as the page loads

I started learning music as an adult too a few years ago in the local community college. Especially initially I couldn't trust myself at all with playing, rhythm or anything, so I ended up hacking on some exercises, as new concepts appeared. See if you can find them helpful. They turned out pretty useful with students and teachers in my college.

Some are simple intervals and stuff that other more polished apps do better, but some are more advanced and I've not seen anywhere else.

E.g. ear training for more complex chords (9, sus, 6/9) https://www.onlinemusictools.com/chords/

Or interval "strands", a regular interval training but with three notes, which looks like it should be simple but is a big jump from 2-note intervals:

Would you create your Arena of code?
Hi folks,

For the past few months, we have been creating a platform where people can learn programming by solving challenges.

The platform uses Git, so users can clone a repository, push their code, and receive instant feedback.

Today, we would like to open up our infrastructure to others.

Our vision is to allow anyone to create their own "Arena of Code."

An Arena would consist of a track composed of challenges that users can solve.

We believe this has tremendous potential, especially for teachers or teams of developers looking to challenge each other.

We're eager to hear your thoughts on this!
