It seems like chain-of-thought will work pretty well when backtracking isn't needed. It can look up or guess the first step, and that gives it enough info to look up or guess the second, and so on.

(This can be helpful for people too.)

If it goes off track it might have trouble recovering, though.

(And that's sometimes true of people too.)

I wonder if LoRA fine-tuning could be used to help it detect when it gets stuck, backtrack, and try another approach? It worked pretty well for training it to follow instructions.

For now, it seems like it's up to the person chatting to see that it's going the wrong way.

It's not so much that there's a water shortage in a lot of places but merely that the natural sources of drinking water that people use are drying up forcing them to switch to more expensive sources of water.

My home country the Netherlands actually has a water shortage. But much of it is below sea-level and we pump a lot of non salty water into the sea (at great expense) to keep the land dry. So, this is a notion that needs a little explaining.

How come there is a shortage in a country like that? Very simple: farmers don't like it when their fields are a swamp, so ground water levels are kept very low. This is done by draining, pumping, etc. Most of that water ends up in the sea. This in turn is governed by local policy on which farmers have a lot of influence. Additionally, they use groundwater for irrigating the land. Because dry land doesn't produce a lot of crops.

So, ground water levels are at a historic low in a lot of places. To the point where nature is struggling and water companies that also rely on ground water for supplying drinking water have to remind people to limit their water usage. In a country that is basically a swamp below sea level.

The solution to all this: change policies and stop using ground water at an unsustainable rate. There's plenty of other water. But using that is more expensive. Ground water tends to be very clean as it has been filtered through sediment layers. Surface water from rivers, lakes, etc. needs more treatment. Collecting rain water seems very uncommon. But there is plenty of that as well. Most of it is pumped and drained straight to the sea.

There is an abundance of water. So much that it is actually a problem. If my country stops pumping and draining water out to sea, it won't take long for a lot of it to be reclaimed by it. And in a pinch, we can actually take ocean water and desalinate it. This would of course be ridiculous in the Netherlands considering that two of the largest rivers in Europe flow through it to the North Sea and given that it rains a lot here (less than it used to, but still).

Other places in the world have a lot less water. But this planet is far from running out of water. Most of it is still covered by water and we have plenty of ways to produce drinking water from that. All we need to do is transport it around to where it is needed. In some places, desalination is cheaper than doing that.
Sorry I was being sarcastic but sounds like you’re actually into it?
I recently paired with someone who was running into issues configuring some settings in the Facebook developers console.

> Published works do not lose copyright protection after five years

Obviously, the courts have no control over that, but copyright protection definitely lasts way too long. Five years, might be kind too short, at least for some kinds of works, but I think the longer the copyright lasts, the more harm it causes to society and the less benefit it has in protecting the interests of the creator and incentivizing more creation.

> there is a “thriving ebook licensing market for libraries” in which the Publishers earn a fee whenever a library obtains one of their licensed ebooks from an aggregator like OverDrive…. This market generates at least tens of millions of dollars a year for the Publishers…. And IA supplants the Publishers’ place in this market

I'm confused by this argument. If the market is thriving, then IA clearly isn't supplanting it.

> IA argues that its digital lending makes it easier for patrons who live far from physical libraries to access books and that it supports research, scholarship, and cultural participation by making books widely accessible on the Internet. But these alleged benefits cannot outweigh the market harm to the Publishers….

In other words, the court values a company, which already has plenty of money, making more money, more than "patrons who live far from physical libraries" having access to books.
Which is crappy, because while I use k8s, it's actually poorly written, half baked and kinda non-portable. The fact that it depends on ELB when you use it at Amazon (just to extract more money), is super sad.

I asked chatgpt about the api for an old programming game called chipwits.. it invented a whole programming language that it called chiptalk with an amalgam of the original chipwits stuff, missing some bits and adding others, and generated a parser for it, which I implemented and got to work, before figuring out how much was imaginary, after talking to the original chipwits devs. They found it pretty amusing.
in fairness to Laos, the US is the worst global warmer on the planet, thus probably the worst contributor to harmful global warming-enhanced water events.

we also crushed Laos 50 years ago in a way that was before unknown to mankind:

Operation Barrel Roll was a covert U.S. Air Force 2nd Air Division and U.S. Navy Task Force 77, interdiction and close air support campaign conducted in the Kingdom of Laos between 14 December 1964 and 29 March 1973 concurrent with the Vietnam War. The operation resulted in 260 million bombs being dropped on Laos, making Laos "the most heavily bombed nation in history".[1]

and:

In Laos, the legacy of U.S. bombs continues to wreak havoc. Since 1964, more than 50,000 Lao have been killed or injured by U.S. bombs, 98 percent of them civilians. An estimated 30 percent of the bombs dropped on Laos failed to explode upon impact, and in the years since the bombing ended, 20,000 people have been killed or maimed by the estimated 80 million bombs left behind.

In 2016, President Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Laos. He pledged an additional $90 million in aid to remove unexploded ordnance on top of the $100 million that had been spent previously. The work of cleaning out unexploded bombs from the soil continues.
The issue with ethics is people make up plenty of conflicting and unsupportable ethics all the time. The law has evolved to handle more balance and stability to help people with competing ideas of ethics live together.

They're also clearly not "completely different things." That would imply no overlap, yet I find laws embody plenty of things I find ethical. If you find nothing in the law ethical then I certainly do not want your ethics.

So I'll gladly take law on the whole over a person on the internet's as hoc flavor of ethics.

> I decided each time I stepped in the car that I’d turn it off at the first mention of some kind of racial inequality issue.

I struggle with this, because if we accept the idea that racial inequality is an issue, then I have to wonder:

- Who are the right people to think or talk about it?
- What is the right time for them to do so?
- Where it is appropriate for them to be part of the public discourse?

Which leads me to "everyone, any time, wherever the other party might be receptive".

So then what is too much?

I sympathize with "give me non-challenging corporate news/noise on my morning commute".

But where is the space for other peoples' complicated topics? And at what point does my ignorance become willful, and harmful?

It's true that Apple has paired hardware on newer phones, and that combined with Find My has really taken a huge bite out of how many iPhones are stolen, but Shenzhen is Shenzhen.

It is a mecca of technology, and you will find things that we'd generally otherwise consider impossible, like building your own iPhone piece by piece just walking around a market:

So even if they can't take a given part as-is, they can always find something useful. We'd think "the logic board is paired so it's useless": they'd think "ICs X,Y, and Z on the logic board commonly fail and now we got spares".

There's been more than one case of stolen stuff ending up at the same place in Shenzhen:

Here is a good example:

1) Use Chat GPT in GPT-4 mode. I have found GPT-3 doesn't work in the same way.

2) I ask "What APIs does EasyPost have?"

It will respond with 7+ API endpoints

3) I ask "Can you write code in Ruby for the rates API?"

It responds almost perfectly with workable code from my experience in Ruby.

4) Then I ask "Can you give me that in Elixir?"

It responds with something I think is about 90% right. I am not as familiar with it but it seems close.

I am not trying to replace myself... I am just trying to make my job easier. And this seems to do it.

Man America is really such a bore: VC, Military, solving problems, weapons, war, getting it done quicker, “freedom”, is there anything else to all this, to life ?

I used to be one of those “why do people always rag on American culture?” types, but I’m getting it.

It makes me laugh how we want to automate everything without the slightest idea of what we’ll be doing once it’s all automated ? Is that the point where the USA figures out we already had a lot of good things to do ? Ha, we’ll invent the matrix and plug ourselves in.

Sorry it’s not personal but it just seems like a never ending grind instilled with the same themes over and over. Now we have “hustle culture with no job prospects due to automation”, cool plan.

I don't know honestly. I had a period recently where I wasn't sure if my business was worth/able to continue and I spent some free time thinking about what I could do next and what seemed like a good call for the next 10-20 years. I have to admit all of this would have changed my thoughts significantly. For now I feel slightly more comfortable over the short term than several months ago so I've decided to watch and see how things shake out. I have to say I am pessimistic about a healthier relationship between labor and capital as result of this, but that is just a feeling and not backed up by much.

The simple, brutal truth is this: The age of human accomplishment is almost over. It could be as early as 10 years from now, or it could take another 10 years after that, but sooner or later, "people doing things" is going to end. There will be no field of expertise where even the best humans can compete with AIs.

Instead of worrying how you can avoid the inevitable and win tomorrow's rat race one more time, I recommend you prepare yourself mentally for this. The vast majority of people will no doubt be in denial long after they have already been made obsolete. Defying mass sentiment and recognizing the truth is perhaps the last great truly human act left for anyone to do.
@SideQuark, you are lost in your head. Where are you feelings about the matter? Are you ok with the bait-and-switch of starting a non-profit, taking $100M and then switch to a for-profit that has the complete opposite agenda to the non-profit that took the money?

> To what extent is this an actual "issue?" What are we sacrificing for having a plethora of divergent ideas?

There's nothing wrong with divergent ideas per se, but divergent ideas themselves don't really do anything. You and I probably have different ideas about something. And we can leave it at that and both go on with our lives, never interacting and learning about another idea than our own.

In the best case, nothing is gained by this, and that's OK and probably even describes the majority of interactions we will ever have with distinct people. But the "value" of divergent ideas is when they converge back together and generate brand new ideas their neither party would have on their own.

But, in the worst case we continue to diverge in our own ideas, only ever converging with people with the same ideas, building "echo chambers" that separate us from anything new and "in-groups" and "out-groups" that further divide us.

And this seems to be the problem with American politics, and bleeding into American society in general. Everything's a partisan issue and everything's on the extremes, so you're either a left-extremist, a right-extremist, or you're not even part of the conversation. If something isn't promoting our ideas, isn't serving us and shouldn't be supported.

So, what we seem to be sacrificing for having these divergent ideas is having any meaningful conversations that can create new ways forward. Which certainly does seem to be creating a lot of issues.

But for what it's worth, considering how our federal congress behaves these days, I'm inclinded to agree that a tax funded public broadcaster would probably not really be in our best interest.
I know nothing about it, but it sounds sort of like it would be good for the groundwater level to be low, but fresh water to be stored somewhere else rather than pumped into the sea? Like a reservoir?
>I'm not really sure what point you're making. That's not physical law in the same sense – nothing compels you to take something from me

Tons of thing compel someone to get the thing another has - them being hungry, just fancying it, mere greed, etc. All of those are natural feelings. In nature the stronger getting what they wont is the norm. There are no property rights.

>On the other hand, you and I can't both have the same object even if we wanted; it has nothing to do with ability or circumstance.

So? Physics is not the basis of law in a society. Just a hard limit of what can be done.

But one can e.g. just kill you by hitting you with a rock, and physics is 100% fine with that, as is biology. Physics doesn't care either way. It's just a bunch of equations that describe how matter interacts, not a legal or moral code, and it doesn't get into the baseline state of animal behavior in nature...

We still have laws against it though.
> In what world is it better to instead give all the say to one person?

If that one person is wise, virtuous, and really prioritizes the people's best interest, and is willing and capable of delegating and seeking advice from people who understand various domains better than them, and is a good enough judge to choose good people for such delegation and advice, then it could be at least much more efficient than a democracy or republic. Decisions could be made much faster. And such a leader could very well be better at making decisions that are better in the long term, even if they aren't in the short term.

However, how do you find and appoint such a leader? And even if you somehow get such a leader, how do you ensure their successor is just as good? Selecting a leader based on military prowess definitely won't get you such a leader though.
No it’s actually 1000% exactly the same. Literally the exact same shit.

Great question. If you ask it for an API endpoint that is described online but isn't well documented publicly, it seems to default back to what it thinks you should do. For example, in one example, it hallucinates that you need a bearer token.

I don't know whether that is because that is a common way of doing things or whether a previous prompt responded with a bearer token... But it wasn't right.

For me, it's a leaping off point that often saves time if I ask the right question. To your point, you have to be quick to know enough about the API to deduce whether you and Chat GPT are in the same universe.
average!= trimmed average and the real number to use is median. the upper and lower percentiles skew the data sooooooooo much. in statistics, one of the first things you learn is to not make decisions based average, but used trimmed averages and median.

121k net worth is NOT a good number to be sitting at when you are 45, let alone at 65. that is. savings rate faaaaaaar below what you need to provide for yourself in old age one you can no longer earn income. we do not want to generate a class of people reliant on aid for basic subsistence. also note that net worth is not liquid for most people. people can't live without shelter, or without transportation to their jobs, and so they cannot liquidate their car to tap into their net worth for food costs. 121k median means peoples net worth doesn't even come close to covering their shelter requirements.

for most people money isn't even working to get them by day to day, let alone working two functions of today, and saving for tomorrow.
