Way to argue against intellectual curiosity.

If anything, "The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling" is intellectually rich and fascinating. Almost everybody who bothered to open their minds and actually listen to it is incredibly positive about it. It's incredibly thorough. Not only does it discuss the controversy from different angles, it also does a deep dive on the roots of online activism. It's near impossible to not learn something from it.

It's not "ideological flamebait", it's a well-researched master piece.

Had you given some right-wing/left-wing cheap shot, you'd have a point, but this isn't it. Perhaps the time you spent on silencing articles or entire publications should be spent on actual curiosity.
My experience with Bard is it probably isn't smart enough to figure out on its own how to use these. Google would probably have to do special finetuning/hardcoding for the plugins that they want to work.

I wish I could build and deploy iOS apps from Linux on these things.
This reminds me of the experiment to run paint splatters through OCR and check, whether the result is valid Perl code (spoiler: 93% evaluated just fine).

This is an interesting read. I had read some of it before but not all of it.

This reminds me of the gongfu method of tea preparation, which acquired a sort of reputation of being the "authentic" means of tea making in certain circles but turns out to be fairly modern outside of a specific region of China.

Like the author interviewed in the piece, Lawrence Zhang has received a certain amount of animosity for writing about it (https://marshaln.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/GFC1601_06_Z...).
I can't seem to find it in GitHub repo, do you know the value for ChatGPT before it switched to GPT-4?
Italy has its share of fast food as well and pizza can be fast also. The famous Italian espresso was adopted by business trying to make and sell coffees faster. It’s a big country and 60 million people means a lot of ways to live in it.
> Note: AWS has supported this for many years: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-hibernate-your-ec2-inst...

We have been using GCP hibernation since 2018 too, but it was alpha back then. The AWS version also had some limitations (it only supposed Amazon Linux at the time) - current prerequisites here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/hibernat...

We have hundreds of developer K8s clusters that get used during a normal workday and get shutdown later. Because there are many services (each with their own readiness criteria), a cold boot takes a long time until all services stabilize (worst case I've seen was over 30 minutes). With hibernation they can resume where they started off within a couple of minutes. During development it's often the case that one may be doing experiments and changing the current state, so preserving everything is a plus.

If, as it was often the case when it was alpha, hibernation failed, then the normal startup procedure would take place.

We don't use it in production but I don't think it's inconceivable that there are other use-cases where preserving state could shave time in getting resources ready.
Most of the time these kinds of boosts should lead to more workers being hired, because previously unprofitable applications become profitable. There's not really a bounds on demand for software like there is for, say, food.
You definitely could do that months ago, you just had to code your own connector.

It's nothing to do with risk free for the students. Nothing.

It's to reduce liability for the university. That is the world we live in.
Sorry, my "reasonable" interpretation of the name tells me that it's a method to choose the file you want to save. It suggests absolutely nothing about actually writing data.

Sure, there are just very few Stanford undergrads who live off-campus. And most Stanford undergrads would not choose to live off-campus in order to be able to party more.
This is absolutely an emotionally impulsive decision. I implore you to reconsider.

If you've always wondered about and scoffed at how people fall for things like Nigerian Prince scams and cryptocurrency HELOC bets, this is it, what you're experiencing right now, this intense FOMO, it's the same thing that fools cool wine aunts into giving their savings to Nigerian princes.

Tread lightly. Stay frosty.
Good points - but I fundamentally disagree here.

The whole ecosystem, culture and metaphor of having a 'device' with 'apps' is to enable access to a range of solutions to your various problems.

This is all going to go away.

Yes, there will always be exceptions and sometimes you need the physical features of the device - like for taking photos.

Instead, you'll have one channel which can solve 95% of your issues - basically like having a personalised, on-call assistant for everyone on the planet.

Consider the friction when consumers grumble about streaming services fragmenting. They just want one. They don't want to subscribe to 5+.

In 10 years, kids will look back and wonder why on earth we used to have these 'phones' with dozens or hundreds of apps installed. 'Why would you do that? That is so much work? How do you know which you need to use?'

If there was one company worrying about change, I would think it would actually be Apple. The iPhone has long been a huge driver of sales and growth - as increasing performance requirements have pushed consumers to upgrade. Instead, I think the increasing relevance of AI tools will inverse this. Consumers will be looking for smaller, lighter, harder-wearing devices. Why do you need a 'phone' with more power? You just need to be able to speak to the AI.
Same thing that happens to every JS framework after a few years.
Perl and Python have syntax options that are similar to the style of awk. The style was described to me as filter thinking. These were not tested on real data.

The awk program translates to

#!/usr/bin/perl

while (<>) {

push @freq, (split)[2..-1] if /Frequencies/;

push @fc, (reverse(split))[3..-1] if /Frc consts/;

push @ir, (reverse(split))[3..-1] if /IR Inten/;

}

print "@freq[$_ - 1] $fc[$_] $ir[$_]\n" for 1..@freq;

and in python

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys

freq = []

fc = []

ir = []

for line in sys.stdin:

fields = line.split()

if "Frequencies" in line:

freq.extend(fields[2:])

elif "Frc consts" in line:

fc.extend(reversed(fields[3:]))

elif "IR Inten" in line:

ir.extend(reversed(fields[3:]))

for i in range(len(freq)):

print(freq[i], fc[i], ir[i])
Bard opened to a US-only audience. For being the engine in applications that might propel an LLM ahead of the others, I fail to see that this would be advantageous for opening markets and greeting new customers.

As an example [of the contrary], I noticed Swedish Klarna among the partners that OpenAI revealed when announcing their plug-in API today.
If you're interested, this is the "absolute minimum" React project I was able to create, using esbuild (see `dev.mjs`) and some .html files. [0] It's a sub-package in a larger workspace, so there is some complexity inherited from the monorepo in terms of `tsconfig.json` and dependency management, but you can ignore that; the esbuild part was pleasantly simple to implement, and it pretty much "just works," such that each file in `www` is an entrypoint with one corresponding script from `pages/` that calls `createRoot(container).render(<App />)`.

Note that's also a "sandbox" for development purposes. If I were creating a new production app today, I would probably use Vite, which uses esbuild under the hood anyway. It's super easy to get started [1] with not only React, but also Lit or Vue or any other number of pre-configured templates, and it takes care of all the drudgery of bundling and tests for you so that you can get straight to work.

Probably few people use it, but it is probably very useful for those who use it. I like angular's philosophy of trying to solve every issue in itself.

Felt a bit underwhelming the example of communication between them, if it will be just that way.

Wolfram Alpha is good, but doesn't hold a candle to how ChatGPT process and understand natural language. That ChatGPT send verbatim the end user input to Wolfram Alpha seem a small step forward over going to Wolfram Alpha and do the very same question.

Now, if the output of ChatGPT is in the Wolfram Alpha "language", expressed in a way that it transmit the ChatGPT interpretation of the question in a way that Wolfram Alpha interprets in the same way (like, i.e. you can ask ChatGPT to make the output in mermaid.js language or any format or programming language) that could be something.

Much better bang for the buck, the Zebra disposable fountain pens. A pack of 7 different colors for less than $15 [1]. For those who don't know (I didn't), Zebra is a Japanese company [2]. The quality of their pens meets my expectations for Japanese craftsmanship.

The genius of many conspiracy charges is the crime is basically "did bad stuff" where "bad stuff" is anything from drug distribution to murder.

So whether ross killed or distributed the drugs, he was guilty of X.

The genius of the conspiracy charge is the jury can be convinced of drug distribution but not the murder. And the judge could be convinced it was murder and not distribution. But they both fall under "bad stuff" so the judge isn't even wrong when they sentence him for "bad stuff" as murder is "bad stuff."

The fact that the elements of bad stuff for the judge is different than elements of bad stuff for the jury is almost an after thought. And hey, you can't say he didn't do bad stuff.

Taken this to the extreme, I wonder if someday they will have a crime that is just called "felony." The jury just has to be convinced you smoked a left handed cigarette, at which point obviously you're guilty of "felony." Then the judge can promptly forget about the cigarette and decide on preponderance of the evidence just what elemenst of "felony" you comitted and sentence that based on what she thinks is more likely than not.
Ask to be put on frontline email/phone customer support for your product a few times a year.

Hearing problems/complaints directly from the voice of the customer, then having to explain a sometimes cumbersome workaround to solve them, is invaluable. Plus you buy goodwill with your support team for walking a day in their shoes.
This, in my eyes, is the function of dreaming. To highlight our neuroses/unconscious redundant anxieties. For this reason, controlling the content of your dreams would remove their primary function.

it works both ways though. i frequently find my dreams influenced by activities during the day. intentional or not.

the other day i was watching a lot of videos about public transport, and sure enough i was dreaming about that at night.

so at that point my brain is already influenced. does that mean i accidentally interfered with the actual function of dreaming? but if it can happen accidentally, then why not also influence dreaming intentionally?

should my friend keep dreaming about his son who killed himself? it's been years. therapy didn't help and the resulting anxiety is unlikely to go away anytime soon. sometimes an intervention and a distraction from those anxieties seems like a better idea.

All of these rules sound onerous, but they boil down to the same rules as when I was in college ~15 years ago in a very different place (and only applied to public and openly promoted parties).

No that wasn't what they had in mind at all, it was pretty clear from the start that they intended to monetize DALL-E. It's just that it turned out that you require far smaller models to be able to do generative art, so competitors like stability AI were able to release viable alternatives before OpenAI could establish a monopoly.

Why do you think that Sam Altman keeps calling for government intervention with regards to AI? He doesn't want to see a repeat of what happened with generative art, and there's nothing like a few bureaucratic road blocks to slow down your competitors.
How about we put a ban on all fake mandatory fees as well?

We just had to buy a new car, and the dealers had a “market value adjustment” fee of $5k. Then a bunch of other “fees” for “mandatory” services not from the manufacturer. You get similar with Ticketmaster advertising a ticket price but then having mandatory fees (I’m surprised artists haven’t sued them - it’s clear artists get a % of ticket price and Ticketmaster is separating out myriad fees so that they’re not part of the face value of the ticket)

The only prices you should be permitted to exclude from a price are government taxes - and only then because in the US the tax system is insane.
This is one of the strongest arguments for limiting the scope and responsibility of government.

There's one thing for people to harm themselves due to their mistakes, and another thing entirely for them to harm others because of their mistakes.

Moreover, people don't learn from their mistakes if someone else is the one that suffers the consequences

Though there might be nothing beneficial about being right or getting upvotes, and it is easy to be wrong, an important thing on a forum like this is the spread of new ideas. While someone might be hesitant to share something because it's half-baked, they might have the start to an idea that could have some discussion value.
What blows my mind is how quickly they produce the research papers, and the online documentation to match the technological velocity they have...I mean, what if most of this is just ChatGPT running the company...
I wouldn't recommend this unless the previous public school experience was hellish for the kid. Honestly, home-schooling is such a weird, american idea. Like all things american, it's spreading though.

If you look at Star Wars over the past decade(?) there's generally an inverse relationship between how good the series/movie is and how close it is to the original story arc.

TOS can live apart from modern standards; you have to give it the benefit of historical perspective. And there was real chemistry between the case. And, because it was episodic, you can pick out 15-20 episodes and enjoy them as historical SF.
After watching all this for a while, in order to get MVPs up and running while holding the IP and other things under control I’ve worked through RoR docs and did some projects in Django and I’d like to know more too. I’d bet on a re-emergence of traditional monoliths quite soon. That is if pocketbases and supabases aren’t going to be the new default which I’m not sure about right now. Recently built a site in NextJS and Nuxt though and I got to say it wasn’t that bad at all. But there’s something people are not considering enough and that is bringing value fast. That’s why I’m going deeper into Django (stability, reliability, value).
I mean, he says that authentic parmesan cheese can be found in Wisconsin and not Italy. That's a really brave man!
I’m not sure what your point is.

Yes, every city has Chinese restaurants with stylized Chinese food. It’s usually “Americanized”, but it can just as be as easily Thai-ized or Korean-ized or Japan-ised or whatever.

Fwiw, I recommend this place:

And you can use something like htmx to do everything on the server and use jquery to do fancy things. It’s a thing, especially for small one-off projects.

You have a decent argument, but your example of calculus is about the worst you could have picked. I got 99% in calculus at UBC in the first semester, and then I set the ridiculous goal of beating that in the second. I did get my 100%, but what a waste of time. It’s never been useful to me as a software engineer, what I remember is dangerous, and the opportunity cost of spending all that time on it was high.

I plan to unschool my kids one day, and I won’t try to force them to learn calculus. Some ground rules are necessary to get some breadth of education, but otherwise I’d rather nurture their natural curiosity and motivation than stifle it.

My own education in software and computers is basically unschooling. It was fun, and I quickly surpassed my peers and went on to have a great career. I’m only 20 years in, but the difference in motivation and outcome is compelling.
>Is this normal!?! I feel sorry for this generation. Attempts to make their world risk free has turned it into "fuck up once and we'll destroy you".

If the students would simply stop raping people and dying of fentanyl overdoses which lead to their parents suing the school I'm sure Stanford would not have as many rules for what occurs on campus.

Or we can choose as a society to free Stanford of civil liability for the actions of people who aren't Stanford employees on its campus.

It is normal, typical, common, and expected for universities in the United States to completely prohibit alcohol consumption on campus.

These rules seem like an attempt to regulate on-campus activities to a degree much lower than in public institutions.

Famous last words.

It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end. Change, even massive change, is perfectly survivable when it's spread over a long enough period of time. 100m of sea level rise would be survivable over the course of ten millennia. It would end human civilization if it happened tomorrow morning.

Society is already struggling to adapt to the rate of technological change. This could easily be the tipping point into collapse and regression.
That’s a very strawy straw man you’ve got there.

AIs can do science, write code, impersonate people, and manipulate people. We’ve already got AlphaFold and ChatGPT and Copilot. People are moving full steam ahead with AI software developers and scientists who have access to deploy code and spend money and communicate with humans autonomously.

I don’t think it takes a whole lot of imagination to see these things improving and coming together in way that an AI agent could feasibly design and execute a plan to develop a bio weapon or deadly nanotech. His points are about how hard it is to prevent that with our current AI training regime.

His analogy, for example, between the human “inclusive fitness reward function” (we evolved with the role purpose of survival and reproduction) and RLHF-style human feedback for AI is apt, and not obvious. Just because we “evolved to survive” didn’t prevent groups of humans from developing the exact opposite capacity to make us extinct.

I think the big difference between this and crypto spam is how it impacts the people ignoring all the hype.
