>>Elon Musk has donated $100M USD, and does not look happy about the developments, based on his tweets.

He is not happy because he could have invested in OpenAI instead of Twitter.
I haven't heard of Dave Chapelle sketch in a long time, but hateful is likely the wrong adjective and a bit hyperbolic. If he does indeed make transphobic comments as part of his recent stand-up routine, than at worst he's being highly insensitive - but I doubt it stems from an ideological position rooted in hatred.
PBS News Hour is a great resource. They now have a YouTube channel with all their content, including live streams. They tend to have a very sensible approach to news. They don't have sponsors to please or audience numbers to hit. They also broadcast considerably less than the 24-hour news networks, which means the ratio of news to opinion is much higher. Their goal seems to be inform, not inflame. I like them.
> In other words, "suffering is bad and we should prevent it, but we don't know how"? What a brave and profound statement to make! /s

That's not what I'm saying at all. What I am saying is that there probably isn't one solution that would work on every part of the planet and further more that in practical terms there isn't a single "we" on the hook to solve.

There are probably many different strategies, from restricting private companies from extracting water at low cost and making huge profits, to building water infrastructure in places where there are none, to desalination, to eradicating cholera, etc. etc.

But what I do believe is that ability to pay for water should not be a limiting factor to having access to clean water because it is a basic ingredient of life and so nobody should profit off of access.
My Apple Watch + Duo/OktaVerify or a number of other apps = 2nd factor without a phone. It also receives email. All I need is Wifi.

I avoid SMS 2 factor.
IF all this were to come to pass as described, on that ten year timeline, I wonder what would be the fate of programming languages? New dominant coding languages come along roughly every five years. Would generative AI stick with one language? Would it learn to prefer new languages over time? Would it write new languages? If not, who would?
ChatGPT is an amplifier of our skills. As Ben Thompson in a recent episode of the Podcast dithering said, something along the line that differentiable people will become more prominent. The existential threats are coming to current low-code/no code companies (some of them will thrive after integrating with ChatGPT or the like, though). They are also coming to entry-level engineers because there will be less demand of their time. Unfortunately, ChatGP will not be an existential threat to those who are good at only drawing boxes. Well, maybe asserting influence by drawing boxes is a rare skill.
> They claim that some areas will experience more extreme droughts but I'm not sure that's how that works.

madagascar had a droight this year, which caused crop failures and mass hunger.

France had record low yields due to droughts

snowpack and ice is gone, meanong water that falls does not stay untill summer. Glaciers dwarf the largest reservoirs.

People like you fail to understand that for every dollar that fossil fuel companies made in profit, we will have to spend 4 dollars fixing the problems they caused.

The prompting might be an issue, but I think the larger sign that it's not quite there yet in terms of symbolic reasoning is that even based on their own paper, gpt-4 gets only a 30 on AMC 10 (out of 150), whereas leaving the test blank would get you a 37.5. And this is on a closed-ended multiple choice-test, so the conditions should be favorable for it to dominate.

Edit: Although this might be unfair considering that LLMs are known to be poor at calculation. (Maybe it would do better at proof-style, like USAMO?). I wonder how well chatGPT with WA integration would do.
I'm thinking similar things.

I could happily live without a phone. As it is, according to the Android "Digital Wellbeing" tool, I've opened / unlocked my phone only 10-20 times per day for the past week. I actually hate my phone (it's a three year-old budget model) and prefer to do everything on my laptop when I can sit down somewhere and focus.

But I have four small children, and my wife would not be pleased if I told her that I was just getting rid of the thing and would become harder to reach, or wouldn't be able to make an emergency phone call.

However, I'm also in the military and have worked in a number of environments where I couldn't have a phone. In those environments, there's always a 24/7 duty number that I can give my wife to call in an emergency, which someone will answer and start a process to find me.

Edited to add: In either Deep Work or Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport says that his wife made him finally get a phone when their first kid was born.
I'm confused.

Surely ChatGPT, etc have been trained on content from these very same SEO optimisation hellholes you're talking about if it was trained by scraping the web?

Is there some trick that allows it to determine whether the content it's being trained on is SEO garbage?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems like all you're getting is an amalgam of SEO content feed to you by a bot...
I see your point about physical resources, but I was thinking more about software products. Why pay for say MS Word when I can just list all the word processing features I want to AI and tada there is my custom version of word.

Why is Microsoft (insert any software company) necessary if they can just replace all developers with AI is what I was getting at.
Ah, a proof for updating the busy beaver / Turing machine to include GPT:

While privacy is an issue on TikTok, I would say the more concerning stuff is that they are actively curating speech: they frequently ban content critical of the CCP, promote pro-ccp messaging, and also sometimes they harass journalists using information that has a somewhat reasonable expectation of privacy. There is a suspicion that they bump up divisive content, but that's harder to prove since obviously Facebook and Google do this too. But douyin does the opposite, it bumps up non-divisive content.
>Another part of the Ukraine conflict that is strangely absent is that Ukraine has been in a civil war since 2014 when a CIA backed coup toppled their government. It is always presented as if one day for no reason Putin invaded a peaceful Ukraine.

This is one of the most annoying tankie talking points. Maidan? Duh, obviously it was a CIA coup. There's no need to prove it, everyone knows that only anti-western uprisings can be genuine.

OTOH, when Russia sent their soldiers to Crimea and Donbas, it clearly was a show of the local people's will. Also, it's better not to mention that the separatist movement didn't exist before 2014 and then they suddenly were organized enough to wage a full-scale war.

What is the difference that you see between these sorts of algorithm puzzle contests?

Is there some reason that people who are good at one contest would be bad at another, similar contest?
The fed doesn't have access to taxpayer money.
why not a blockchain? It's much less likely to go down with network issues because people are financially motivated to run the network.
Please stop using this 'fancy markov chain' cope, it just makes you sound like you have absolutely no awareness of anything.
I don't own a single digital book, nor am I deluded to think that the internet was going to solve the issue of ownership in the first place.

You are free to demand that publishers provide you unlimited access to their servers so you can download your books perpetually. Publishers need not give in to alternative access methods to their material.

If you want to own books, have it actually in your possession, which is not the internet.
If it easier for a US firm to move into European markets than it is for Europeans to? That is 100% on the Europeans. The difference between 70 million and 300 million in the home country doesn't make that much of a difference of how easy it is to break in to the German market - the problem is that French regulators would never allow a French Google to grow.

If France had a Google-like company, it'd end up like Nokia. Hiding at number 16 on a list somewhere, rather unremarkable, trying not to think about what could have been.
Could AI just write machine language or assembly instead?

Reporting the viewpoints of the top groups in equal balance isn't really a good approach when they don't all deserve the same weight or merit. It actually has a name called "false balance" [0]. I would rather the news just give me facts and give coverage to what they believe is true. I think NPR does that.

I think the obvious response is that material wealth is only well correlated with life satisfaction up to about 100k/yr or so. And only certain sub-categories of that wealth have any sort of durable correlation at all.

If every segment of society would agree that they rate as "reasonably happy/satisfied" then I'd agree that your assumed standards actually mean something, but that's just not the case. And we don't have great historical satisfaction data to compare with.
Hi there, I would love to hear more about your trip. I lived in Laos for a few months a decade ago, just outside of Vang Vieng. I think of the country often, and can only imagine just how much it has changed.

Having seen similar problems really helps though.
I may have misunderstood, but I believe step 1 (eliding loads) is simply a cache scheduling problem. The optimal solution is the greedy "furthest in the future" eviction policy.
I don’t disagree with the ruling. IA is not lending their copy that they purchased. They are lending a copy of their copy. While that copy is lent out, they are still free to, I.e. read the copy in their possession.
Hi there, creator of autodoc here.

You can do it yourself and make pull request back to the BuildKit codebase :)

Very good point, but easily solved - just tag the docs as being generated by GPT-4, and make sure whoever reads them knows it.
Does that mean that instead of giving taxpayer money, they instead devalue all taxpayer money by inventing new money?
GPT4 has been out for what, weeks? We aren't talking established theorems here.
My ten year old uses "Libby" a lot to borrow books from the local library - at one point they started rate limiting him. He also typically has a dozen physical books checked out at any given time.

SEO for AI will be worse. Their output is a probabilistic distribution conditioned on the text is has read, so you can place text that heavily biases the output. Usually figuring out what this is can be kind of hard, but since OpenAI lets you query GPT-4 for credits, you can just mine what these special phrases are.
Yep. Airbnb's heyday was 2010-2014.

There are too many money-grubbing, anti-social, weirdo hosts who don't clean the linen. In a hotel, at least you have recourse and can switch rooms.
Price controls and rationing go hand in hand. Ultimately the goal is to ensure that everybody is able to acquire the goods that they need to survive. We are not talking about luxury yachts here, we are talking about food. If the source of the price increases is an insufficient supply of the raw materials, would you rather allow the market to increase prices until the point that some people are starving while others are buying ten times the food that you need to survive to feed their pets?

> Gives anybody with elementary knowledge of econ a heart attack

Plainly, this isn't true. This opinion is not uncommon amongst so-called "Marxist economists" such as Richard Wolff. You can disagree that price controls and rationing would be the best way to solve the problem, but it is outright ignorant and needlessly insulting to make this claim.
Just don’t bring your phone then.

Maybe Linux should be illegal?

It’s such an odd position. Like, the age old razors / razor blades model should be illegal? Video game consoles / video games?

Subsidizing an initial purchase by charging for ongoing services is so core to our economy that I’m not sure what it would look like to prohibit it.
It would be chef’s kiss perfect if another LLM did the code review.

Awesome! More events should be phone free
Small reality check for everyone being outraged that company founders "risked" their company, customer information and all their bank accounts by doing that:

They are not that important, nobody is going to use a zero day iOS exploit or roll up with a Cellebrite device to unlock phones at a early stage founder event.

It's not the same as surrendering your phone to a hostile border guard as a human rights activist.

> situations you have in mind are indeed a result of caches/hierarchical memory, but cannot be modeled as memory access reordering

Well yes, but actually no. I mean, my point is that they can't be (correctly!) modeled as memory access reordering. But one doesn't have to and shouldn't appeal to caches. Recent ISAs (aarch64, risc-v) and recent languages (C++11, C<whatever it is now>, rust) are both defined based on acquire-release semantics: both hardware and software engineers have decided this is the common set of requirements we want to use. For software programmers to attempt to reason about cache hierarchies is not only unnecessary, it would also potentially be just as wrong as memory reordering if the design of new microarchitectures changes. But as long as those new uarches conform to existing ISAs, and/or are targeted by existing languages, then the acq-rel model will not change out from under you. So it is the only one that should be used. Indeed, the memory reordering theory seems to originate from this same kind of appeal to microarchitecture which are now out of date, i.e. whatever the first multiprocessing x86 cores did.
In the very near future America as a country will have to fight a lot harder to loot the resources of other nations, so I imagine as resource scarcity encroaches upon everyone's lifestyle you'll probably begin to see yourself less as an independent frontiersman and more as a member of society. But not one moment sooner.
This is extremely interesting. I have a few monstrous repositories I’d like to try it on.

The thing I’m wondering about is the cost. How much would it cost to run this on the entire WordPress source, for example?
If you haven't been following, they have comparable models, they just haven't made them publicly available. Bard is now in beta, the GCP APIs are on the horizon

>As GPT-4 had been shown to outperform humans on the coding competition tasks

On the same frontpage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35297067

Food for thought. Also by their own paper it has only a codeforces rank of 392 which is below 5th percentile.
There are more types of phones than just iPhones, and there have been enough high profile incidences of zero day exploits that allow you to exfiltrate data from a locked phone to give a reasonably security conscious person pause to just hand over their phone to a stranger.

Even if you think of the people you're giving the phone to are trust worthy there's just no good goddamn reason to risk it.
I feel like this is the best argument for it but… it leaves a lot of holes? What about Saturdays, or other non-school days?

And… just protection for retail workers? Is there a reason it wouldn’t apply to all workers below a certain pay range (or maybe it did, and the “no shopping” rule is just a shorthand?)
Just asked GPT3.5 and GPT4, and both said the same thing:

"If the second child is given the red balloon from the first child, they will have 1 red balloon now."

I agree that unedited congressional proceedings is not journalism; however C-Span does have journalists who do not tell stories.

C-SPAN journalists host “Washington Journal” on the TV and “Washington Today” on C-SPAN Radio. They interview newsmakers, authors, and other journalists. On “Washington Today” they do summarize the day’s happenings.

But they’re not attempting to synthesize a narrative. There is no storytelling. On “Washington Journal” they let guests and callers speak for themselves with no attempts to corner them or edit them. C-SPAN shows every day a way of doing journalism that’s about the subject and not about what the journalist thinks.
But you see, developers have been self spamming their code with obvious, misleading, and/or wrong comments for decades. Especially with those pesky “everything must have a doc-comment” linters. Think of all the time ChatGPT will save doing it for them!
I downloaded it too, and was disappointed to see I need to enter a phone number before being able to even try the app. I went through the onboarding and then deleted immediately. They need to be more transparent about what the app does (why it's better than just using the screen time controls, which it seems to hook into), and what the paid features do. But mostly they need to not force you to enter your phone number before you can learn any of this.

Yea, not going to do it myself, would be better if you did. As I said, it's a good test to find where your tool provides value or breaks down
your pessimism is hardly unwarranted. this will lead to rather lousy code documentation, and might be misused by folks. but on the other hand, i look at this as something that will be effective as a "summarizer" of sorts where it describes already written code with lack of/poor documentation.

Software and systems are where the money's at now (until the tech singularity ruins it), hardware is just for fun.
The other cases are borderline. Not truly “porn”, but definitely something a parent might object to. I don’t get the backlash here at all. Parents can inform what goes into curricula and that’s what’s happened here.

Also, a nakedly unconstitutional attempt to control the inventory of a private company is not exactly the greatest example of an escalating.
Blockchains don't really do this well though. A blockchain is useful when you need a publicly accessible, canonical shared record of a consensus, obfuscated or otherwise. They're not for storing arbitrary data. If you want to store arbitrary data, and you want peer to peer decentralized kind of features and you want identities obfuscated, currently you're looking at BitTorrent over Tor. I don't know if i2p or Tor or anyone else is working on any sort of swarm like file sharing internally over those networks, but it needs to be done and these shadow libraries need to begin using it.
To be fair, the Republican Party went full white-nationalist cult after 2016, which is a real problem for outlets that want to maintain a "centrist" viewpoint.

I went to a comedy show recently that wouldn’t allow phones in. It was a huge show with thousands of people.
