No it's not pointless, language is important. Cars are not runners. "For all intents and purposes" is a cop out here. We're talking about LLMs, you know language learning models.

There is no way that 90% of men pay for porn. I would imagine the number is closer to 1-2% max.
>You're squashing the meaning out words by trying to suggest that "running" is somehow equivalent to "any other method of a person moving from A to B". But that's not true.

That's just an accidental property of the english language.

We can imagine a language where "runner" and "thing that moves from A to B fast" used the same term T, and if people referred to T with the english notion of "runner" (e.g. a person running in a marathon") it was just deduced from the context. There are many cases like that.

In any case, the point is moot, as "thinking" doesn't have the same constraints. We might not call what a car does as running/runner (though we do use the former term) but we absolutely have considered AI as "thinking" and called AIs "thinking machines", even before AI (never mind AGI) even existed.

>You're squashing the meaning out words by trying to suggest that "running" is somehow equivalent to "any other method of a person moving from A to B". But that's not true.

This depends on the level of abstraction of the discussion. At some level of abstraction it's irrelevant if the move happened via running or via horse buggy or via a car. Sometimes we just care about the act of moving from A to B, and different methods to do so are only differentiated by their speed or other effectiveness.

In that case, we can compare man and machine though, and just care for the speed (machine can answer in 0.1. secs, a man needs to think over 1-2 minutes to answer such questions) or effectiveness (e.g. machine is better at juggling many things at the same time when thinking, or man is better at subtle semantical nuance).

Funny, I just talked about something similar to this, mentioning ChatGPT as a joke too. I think the output is a bit to verbose though, might as well be reading commit messages at this point. What happens if you tell it to sum it up as one or two sentences?

It will probably raise the floor a lot. The least competent (not meaning in a bad way! I was one of those) coders will be a lot more competent all of a sudden.
Speaking of cheating, one thing I've been thinking:

With GPT, what's the deal with non-live coding interviews and challenges, e.g. HackerRank and similar? Right now HackerRank can be configured to disallow alt-tabbing and you can demand there's a web camera on pointing at the candidate. Disregarding for a minute how intrusive and ridiculous these requirements are, is HackerRank's business model gone now that ChatGPT exists?

Yes, I cannot alt-tab. Say hello to my second laptop that you cannot see with the web camera. You also cannot see my hands. As we speak, I'm typing your "go through a list and build/find whatever in O(N)" for ChatGPT in my second laptop, thanks for playing!
How is it ChatGPT 4 is like a few days old and people are reviewing its ability to "build complex systems with state of the art technologies" like they've been using it for years?

Reminds me of "Seeking developer with 10 years of experience in <brand new> framework"
I think this is mistaking the current .01 iteration with what the technology will be able to achieve. All sorts of groundbreaking technology looks like a minor improvement over the previously refined version until it gets implemented in a way that takes advantage of its strengths, as opposed to just being plugged into old workflows.

LLMs cannot be judged by their first few incarnations. What can be trained into them currently exceeds imagination. Imagination is our limiting factor.

And I don’t say that from the context of “I jumped on the hype train at the end of last year”. I remember reading the 2017 Google transformer paper and thinking “whoa, this is really happening.” The fact it happened in only 5 years is pretty impressive. Im not sure many papers or innovations got my mind spinning quite like that one.
You just referred to the US Government as efficient. That's a bold statement.

I don't believe Hindenburg is claiming that 100% of all uses of Block is fraudulent. For any service, something between 0 and 100% of use case generally is fraud; their claim is that the actual percentage is much higher than what the public knows, and thus the market is overvaluing Block.
I know this is anthropomorphizing, but the Weak force always seemed like the weird hack or cludge of the fundamental forces. Yeah it works, but do we really need two different W bosons and also a Z boson? The electromagnetic force does just fine with just the photon.

More anthropomorphizing, the fact that there are three generations of matter feels like a premature optimization or someone applied too much abstraction and extensibility to the universe. One or two generations makes sense, but three feels like someone thought the system would need to scale to an infinite number of generations and then that didn’t happen.

With the added benefit of it being one number to call, rather than any of several cab companies (or hundreds, in New York).

The idea of "ride sharing" is somewhat dubious, but the enormous win of Uber and Lyft is to be able to go to one place (well, one of two places) and just get a ride. If cab companies had just banded together for a single dispatch app, or even a single 800 number, they might have shortcut the process before Uber arrived on the scene.
Do share!

there are over 400 million firearms in the US in the hands of an estimated 100 million individuals

over two million background checks for firearms purchases are performed each month, and this number is rising, and the number of people who are being background checked for the first time is rapidly rising (fastest growing group - black women)

by 2030 there will likely be a half billion firearms in the US

there are more fully automatic rifles registered to individuals in Texas (40k) than are in possession of many NATO armies...for semi-auto pistols and rifles, Texas residents outgun most NATO armies by a substantial margin

these are stats that both gun advocacy and opposition groups will be happy to validate (each believe the numbers support their position)

anecdotally, it is very common here in Texas to read of traffic altercations in which both parties involved in road rage incidents were carrying in their vehicles...it is widespread

I agree the design wasn't about representation, and does seem to have been designed with being able to kick people out being important, rather than representation (think about the fact that per the original constitution, the only federal office voted for by citizens was the House of Representatives). However, describing it as optimizing for concentration of power in comparison to British parliament seems to be incorrect (as others in this thread have pointed out). From my readings of The Federalist Papers, it seems more that they were trying to design a system which forced cooperation between its members instead of individuals with massive power. The executive is an individual, however, because actual execution is always better done with an individual on top. Of course, changes to the constitution and the world in the meantime have massively weakened the original design.

I’ve tried 4 and I really can’t say the results are a qualitatively better than 3.5 for the tasks I’ve been trying (which have been trying to get it to generate documentation for my project).

In fact, I find 3.5 turbo the best overall model as a tool, because to quality of responses really depends on the quality of prompts, and the quality of prompts is improved by reacting to responses, which come more quickly in 3.5-turbo. So while ChatGPT-4 is still writing the first not-good response, ChatGPT-3.5-Turbo will be on the 2nd or 3rd and it will be much more cogent.

That said, I am providing a vast online digital library to the public already. Digital libraries don't need massive amounts of capital or real estate. I just host a tor onion website with a directory listing and now anyone can read the books I have. And that is the kind of thing the book publishers are trying to stop here.
> only need to "check the code is good"

... because we all know proving correctness is the easy part of writing software!

I can't wait to read about software engineers finding out some MBA had a huge codebase written by a language model and a few offshored contractors only to realize it's incredibly bugged and being hired to "just go and find the mistakes the error the ai made, should be easy all the code is written".

you are underestimating the impact of programs like this.

The CEO will quickly spot broken processes and inefficiencies. Ass kissing can't make up for business problems. Beyond that, by working in a different store, gets a feel on how generic the approach can be, and where they need local optimizations.

The only think you are taking out of the consideration is toxic lower management and asshole colleagues, but that's not something I'd expect the CEO to fix directly himself. If anything he is just bored of the ass kissers and good news shows, and wants to regain a feel of reality
"Tolkien deserves much more of my money than the author of the cookbook..."

Perhaps so but why?

Tolkien was educated at mainly public expense and his wherewithal and worldliness that enabled him to write his novels came from the society in which he lived.

That is, he was intimately coupled to his society without which he would not have been able to write his books. He owes society some payback for what it gave him.

Tolkien has rights that need protection but they are not exclusive morally speaking. That the law gives him full and exclusive rights is an unfortunate product of history when Victor Hugo and cronies forced the Berne Convention in the days before the reading public had any idea that it was about to be shafted.

That unfair treaty has to be made fair despite protestations from greedy publishers. If not, they will eventually lose out because every new computer technology only makes it easier to copy works. Even now it's a cinch, in 20 years it'll be so easy that if any text or video has any public exposure it'll be copied by consumers as a matter of course—copyright holders bedamed. (Think Google Glass—like tech that captures everything a human sees in high definition. If a human sees it then it will be copied automatically. Right, copyright is on the wall without major reform.)

What we are witnessing from these greedy publishing bastards are the last gasps of the old elitist copyright order. If they were smart they would realize that they need to be much more reasonable and consolatory to even survive.

I would say that Linux is better only for a particular type of power user/dev.

In my case, as a computer user of 27 years who’s been writing code in some capacity for around 20 years, macOS is preferable because its stock config is the closest to how I want things to work. It takes very little config prodding to get to my productive “happy place”.

With Linux on the other hand, reaching that same “happy place” feels like a Sisyphean task… no matter how lunch time I spend on tinkering it still isn’t “right” and that further detracts from productivity because it’s distracting. I don’t think I could make Linux my primary OS without developing my own DE, which rather than Sisyphean is Herculean.

The "solution" to your problem is press windows, type "presentation", and select "adjust settings before giving a presentation". Now just select "I am currently giving a presentation" and "Turn off screen saver", click ok, and your computer will stay on. Turn it off afterwards, otherwise it turns off on restart or when you manually initiate sleep. As a bonus you can have normal sleep and hibernation settings that make sense when you don't want to run something overnight.

I'm not sure how you're supposed to discover this though. And it's only available on laptops. Somehow windows is starting to divide people into camps of "everything is turning to crap" and "everything is fine, just follow these arcane steps" where previous versions just worked
Ever since December, I've noticed a massive uptick in spam getting past my Gmail filter. We are talking 100+ emails per day selling sexual enhancement drugs, marital aids, conspiranoid prepper nonsense, money mule scams, crypto extortion and various other drivel.

Indeed, VC's loaded with 'free' money pumping whatever idea could bring in the consumers enough to keep a narrative spinning.

I haven't seen any particularly strong profitability case for ChatGPT and the like yet, unless you call ad dollars from promoting "ChatXX does this amazing trick!" as proof.

People barely even questioned the ludicrous wages being thrown around in silicon valley, supported by 'funding rounds' and silly valuations of future growth.

But, it all sucks because the people that will lose are the last-in-chain investors and the to-be-unemployed. Not the VC crybabies currently out there complaining about their need for protection by the establishment they protest.

To best illustrate what I mean, watch this chess match[0] it's quite riveting.

Since it read millions of matches, it can predict a legal move most of the time, and even some good moves some of the time, but it cannot "understand" the rules of chess, and makes some hilariously illegal moves, especially if the match lasts longer.

Yep this has been my experience as well. Especially with Accenture. That said, someone quoted above, they have 700k+ employees. Im sure there is a ton of bad apples to go around.

Just some constructive criticism, my friend. Now that I think about it, maybe it could even benefit from some AI; that first sentence is baffling.

Starbucks Urged by NYC Pension Funds to Order Labor Rights Audit
A brief summary of what this study was about:

- screen time was reported by parents at 12 months

- television was the only screen time experienced by the vast majority of subjects (they explain that this was around 2010, before handheld devices were ubiquitous)

- they found that at 9 years old, the children who had had more screen time at 12 months had worse attention and executive functioning at 9 years

- EEG correlates at 18 months explained some of those differences at 9 years

- this is in Singapore btw

What blew me away was that in this cohort, the average (average!) reported TV time for the 12-month-olds time was 2 hours a day!
Coincidentally, I was a Windows user from 2008-2015, having used Linux (SUSE on my laptop and Debian on a server) prior to that and then coming back to Linux (Arch derivatives, Ubuntu, RHEL, and now Fedora) since 2015.

So what happened with Fedora during that time? Was it just choosing not to include non-free drivers, codecs, and Java? I do recall that I ended up using SUSE back then because I just couldn't get Red Hat to work with my laptop hardware (WiFi, touchpad, etc.).
> In recent years, many climate advocates have emphasized human population itself—as opposed to related factors such as consumption and technology—as the driving force behind environmental destruction. This is, at bottom, a very old idea that can be traced back to the 18th-century cleric Thomas Malthus. It is also analytically unsound and morally objectionable. Critics of overpopulation down through the ages have had a nasty habit of treating people less as individuals with value and agency than as sentient locusts.

> Malthus argued against aid to poor Britons on the grounds that they consumed too many of the nation’s resources.

Contrast that with:

> Boserup is known for her theory of agricultural intensification, also known as Boserup's theory, which posits that population change drives the intensity of agricultural production. Her position countered the Malthusian theory that agricultural methods determine population via limits on food supply.
