I have a feeling this will be an earth shattering moment in time, especially for us. Basically you can plug your business data into the Chatbot now, and ideally (or not far off) there is a transcational API call in the form of dialogue. Sound/Voice/Siri/whatever.... coming soon for more accessability and convenience.

This will decimate frontend developers or at least change the way they provide value soon, and companies not being able to transition into a "headless mode" might get a hard time.
"hollering", as outlined in the Dean's memo, is fine. Attempting to execute a 'heckler's veto', however, is not.
That is about what would happen in a board meeting. And the final edit ($1m top-ups are limited to twice, then come back and ask for approval again) seems like a reasonable response.

Presumably there is some audit trail on expenses after the fact?
Definitely cheaper, and some film manufacturers will custom cut to fit under the bezel. ViaScreens and Photodon both do this.

If Tornado Cash was shut down (where everyone was pseudo-anonymous), SushiSwap can definitely be shut down. And TC wasn't exactly "shut down," it was just crippled by being blacklisted by USDC (Circle), essentially banned from all legitimate exchanges via sanctions, etc. Without liquidity, these financial toys are just dead code.

The notion that there are these well-paid (as you put it) 'witch' hunters out there, just lying in wait to "hunt Americans", is firstly, specious (where are these riches?) and secondly shows exactly who you think is deserving of protection, and from whom.

Even when they were joint state with Serbia they would have been covered by 1899 extradition treaty with US (see Artukovic case which was applied retroactively for crimes on territory not under Serbian jurisdiction in 1899, even if you reject that it would be 1918-2006)

For a small example:

S s;
S *p;

To read a field:

s.field
p->field

It turns out that there's no ambiguity in using `.` for both `.` and `->`. Both can be:

s.field
p.field

But what's the problem with `->`? It's when you want to refactor the code to switch between a value to a reference. If `.` is used for both, just change the typedef and maybe a couple places. With `.` and `->`, there are maybe thousands of tedious changes to make in the code base. The inevitable result of this is you're not going to attempt such a refactor, as it's too much work. The code stays in the way it was originally designed.

I was able to see this only via broader experience with other languages. I never even noticed the issue before.

C++ addressed this not by fixing it, but by introducing the reference type. But the C++ ref type brings along with it all kinds of new problems, which I won't get into here.

Camp 3: Those of us who have viewed coding as a craft.

Math - the study of well defined concepts and their relationships. Solving problems with proofs.

Engineering - solving well characterized problems based on math and physics (which can include materials with known properties, chemistry, approximations, models, …), and well defined areas of composability (circuits, chemical processes, structural design, …)

Craft - solving incompletely characterized problems with math, physics, engineering and enormous amounts of experience, intuition, heuristics, wisdom, patterns, guesses, poorly understood third party modules, partial solutions pulled from random web sites …

Art - Solving subjective problems by any means necessary.
As I stated elsewhere:

> There is no legitimate scenario where they would be reporting the Net Amount for the same sale in two places with different numbers.

The net amount reported in the app isn't an estimate, nor is it ever updated.

If you do the math, the amount listed in the app, according to their own report, is the correct amount. The final asset price X the final asset amount, as frozen in their long-term reports, is the amount listed in the app.

There is no hand-waving financial explanation for this discrepancy.

Extending agency to corn or a blockchain is even more of a stretch than extending it to ChatGPT.

Corn has properties that have resulted from random chance and selection. It hasn't chosen to have certain mutations to be more appealing to humans; humans have selected the ones with the mutations those individual humans were looking for.

"Corn is the benefactor"? Sure, insomuch as "continuing to reproduce at a species level in exchange for getting cooked and eaten or turned into gas" is something "corn" can be said to want... (so... eh.).

That's part of my reasoning. That's why we should make sure that we have built a non-hostile relationship with AI before that point.
I'd be surprised if someone doesn't add support for these to langchain. The API seems very simple - it's a public json doc describing API calls that can be made by the model. Seems like a very sensible way of specifying remote resources.

> And if you're a data provider, are there any assurances that openai isn't just scraping the output and using it as part of their RLHF training loop, baking your proprietary data into their model?

Rather depends on what you're providing. Is it your data itself you're trying to use to get people to your site for another reason? Or are you trying to actually offer a service directly? If the latter, I don't get the issue.
It has never been clear to me why people want movies and games to be the same thing. Most AAA games that are "cinematic" are just bad or mediocre movies that wouldn't get made or have already been made. For example, even some very famous video game designers have mentioned that they would rather make movies. Why don't they then? I think it's because the threshold to make a story good enough for a movie is a bit higher than a video game, even with the bar falling a bit in modern times for movies. There's even a question as to why gamers want movies made out of their favorite game. There's a reason why these usually fail, and it's usually because the underlying story is just not that interesting.

In my opinion, a video game should be a game and not a larping simulator for movies. Games like Journey, The Witness, The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Collossus, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Mirror's Edge, etc. should be the standard for video game designers.
> What the administration is attempting to do is monopolize the framing of the issue as a legal one. Frame monopolization is inherently an authoritarian practice and unbecoming of a prestigious higher institution.

What do you mean? It's a law school, so it seems perfectly reasonable and not authoritarian that these issues should be framed by the organization's primary purpose.

And frankly the quoted statement less "frame monopolization" than a rejection of an even more stringent kind of authoritarian ideological "frame monopolization."

Once when I was without money, I had to cancel a gym subscription. Inside the gym, the manager informed me of how I couldn't cancel because of my contract. This was a mom&pop level gym, too. It's also worth mentioning that he parked his Porsche cayenne on the sidewalk.

He did let me cancel, on the condition that I acknowledged it was because a he is a good christian man.

What part of the SEC siphoning millions of dollars of customer-created profits out of crypto companies, and then letting them continue on doing business almost exactly the same as before has anything to do with educating people about anything?

What has NY's extensive restrictions on crypto business versus other states have to do with educating people about what crypto is?

And when someone buys a lottery ticket, or gambles at a casino, I can guarantee you they almost certainly have zero idea what they're buying - or they would't buy it. How's this "education" working out there?

There may well be laws around counterfeit clothes, but are there laws around selling two identical sweaters, possibly even made in the same factory in China, but one costs 100x the other one because one was "designed" by a particular brand?

Where's education and regulation on that one? People are being duped in their millions into paying hand over fist for disgustingly overpriced clothes and I don't see anyone "protecting" them.
Carl Sagan is an excellent communicator but he relies too heavily on literary tropes and popular fiction.

The issue of witchcraft is not unchecked beliefs, but the combustible mixture of politics and economics.

Early witches weren't old women performing secret rituals in dense forests. They were the bourgeoisie, who found themselves newly rich during a time of political and economic uncertainty.

The "Malleus Maleficarum" never caught on among the religious elite. Why would they care about the imagined threat of witches when Protestants were out in the open and gaining ground amongst all levels of society?

Where the book did catch on was amongst secular courts. The book provided a convenient justification for condemning political and economic opponents. There it was used to great effect.
The problem is that the pro-process people usually have some concrete reason, no matter how bad, outdated or obviously irrelevant for their process. The anti-process people don't have anything because there is no identical control group without the dumb rule.

I downloaded all the .CSV files from that site and quickly loaded them into a table. It just took a couple minutes, but I didn't stop to verify that there were not duplicate rows across the various files.

When I added up the totals, I got:
APC - 7,225,399
LP - 5,286,181
PDP - 5,285,900
NNPP - 1,529,575

Not so secret, and also precisely how Langchain (1) and GPT Index (Llama Index) (2) got so popular. Here's a quick rundown:

0) You can't add new data to current LLMs. Meaning you can't train them on additional data, or fine-tune, leave that more for understanding structure of the language or task.

1) To add external corpus of data into LLMs, you need to fit it into the prompt.

2) Some documents/corpus are too huge to fit into prompts. Token limits.

3) You can obtain relevant chunks of context by creating an embedding of the query and finding the top k most similar chunk embeddings.

4) Stuff as many top k chunks as you can into the prompt and run the query

Now, here's where it gets crazier.

1) Imagine you have an LLM with a token limit of 8k tokens.

2) Split the original document or corpus into 4k token chunks.

3) Imagine that the leaf nodes of a "chunk tree" are set to these 4k chunks.

4) You run your query by summarizing these nodes, pair-wise (two at a time), to generate the parent nodes of the leaf nodes. You now have a layer above the leaf nodes.

5) Repeat until you reach a single root node. That node is the result of tree-summarizing your document using LLMs.

This way has many more calls to the LLM and has certain tradeoffs or advantages, and is essentially what Llama Index's essence is about. The first way allows you to just run embeddings once and make fewer calls to the LLM.

What's interesting is a steady stream of volume continues to flow through Tornado Cash, proving that it was indeed decentralized enough to withstand global sanctions. Although all funds exiting it are suspicious. One thing to remember is that the sanctions on TC currently only apply to US citizens and companies, although effectively given the US' dominant financial position globally, is indeed a massive red flag.

> Texas has one of the highest drunk driving scores, and New York has one of the lowest

And so?

> When you commute by car you have to be paying attention the entire time.

Self-driving software will fix this within a decade. It's technically already legal to read books and watch TV in a car, if you own one particular high-end car model.

> You need to also include the cost of transportation, which brings this figure a lot closer

Cost of transportation is a whole another issue. Because then you need to include the local taxes that are used to build and maintain transportation infrastructure.

> You also have to take into consideration the fact that sprawl forces you into that car pretty often. You need to use the car to go grocery shopping, whereas you can walk to a grocery store in a dense city.

Yes, and? Car also allows me to just do 2 trips a week to the store to get groceries for 4 people for several days. I had to do a grocery run every day when I lived in a dense city. That's easily another 30-40 minutes wasted every day.

> On a total usage basis, public transportation is considerably cheaper than roads, because as a whole, public transportation tends to be very highly used

That's not true. The average bus load in the US is 16 people. This makes it close to the car cost, only just a bit more efficient. It also does not consider the cost of wasted personal time.

> When roads are heavily used, the throughput decreases, commute times increase, and expanding roads doesn't help that situation.

It does, actually. More roads/lanes almost always increase throughput. They don't necessarily increase the average _speed_.

But guess what, the transit speed is _slower_ than cars pretty much everywhere.

Have you personally lived in Houston or another car-oriented city in the US? Or are you just reading the horror stories about "car hells"? Try it yourself to see the drawbacks and advantages.

I personally had lived in Europe and used transit and biking a lot. Including the bike hell of Amsterdam. I got my driving license at the age of 30 and my first car at 32.

I rent ebooks from the Indiana statewide library consortium and it's pretty great. Keeps me from having to "buy" a bunch of books (sci-fi) that I'll never use or read again.

The main reason I started using ebooks is that my eyesight isn't what it used to be and reading physical books is harder, need better lighting for it, easy to lose my place, etc. Ebooks solve all of these problems.
So the way this framework works with puzzle games is similar but slightly different. The important thing is to think about it in terms of what player skills are being tested to overcome a problem.

Instead of being a challenge to players’ reflexes and coordination - physical input on the keyboard/pad - it’s a mental challenge instead - exploration, observation, reasoning, etc. In this case the physical input is trivial but the challenge loop has the same shape.

In the case of Obra Dinn, each time you add something correctly to your journal you’re completing that same challenge loop. In an abstract, theoretical way, of course, but I find it useful (I am a game designer). Other games blend physical and mental skills together and of course there are many different skills for different games to test.

You’re probably right in that this doesn’t apply to every kind of gameplay, but most games drive you forward by putting some kind of challenge in your path, even if they’re not violent. I don’t know if that’s because it’s easiest, if it’s a convention from the early days of video games that has stuck, or if it’s a fundamental part of human nature.
The AI space is moving so fast.

If you live in SF and have gone out to casual bars or restaurants, you meet/hear people talking about ChatGPT. In particular, I've been hearing a lot of people talking about their startups being "a UI using ChatGPT under the hood to help you with X". But I'm starting to get the feeling that OpenAI will eat their lunches. It's tried and true and it worked for Amazon.

If OpenAI becomes the AI platform of choice, I wonder how many apps on the platform will eventually become native capabilities of the platform itself. This is unlike the Apple App Store, where they just take a commission, and more like Amazon where Amazon slowly starts to provide more and more products, pushing third-party products out of the market.
I just got access to Bard. I would hate to be Google leaders at the moment.
Is this the hill you really want to fight for in life? If a gym offers an email address, real life support, and/or a phone number to cancel, are you going to be intensely morally outraged that you can't send a physical letter to cancel as well?

Doesn't it seem reasonable for businesses to (for the most part) pick and choose how they conduct business and deal with their customers, so long as they're not committing fraud or other crimes?

Isn't the point of the law to protect people from crimes? Is the point of the law to dictate the tiny minute details of everyday life?
Not to get into the unrelated weeds here, I think it's the specificity. We say "nuked" but not "Hiroshima'd."
Tornado Cash was sanctioned by OFAC, which makes it illegal for U.S. persons to interact with the relevant contract addresses to the same extent as interacting with North Korea.

SushiSwap is not going to be sanctioned. It's not clear what the U.S. could do to shut it down in the same manner, although of course, they could bring enforcement actions like this one and scare off any U.S. person from working on it.
Are you in California? They are forced by law to make it easier to cancel in California, but they don't extend that anywhere else AFAIK.

digital cameras is one technology replacing another technology but not replacing the photographer or the way they take photos.

AI authors means to replace actual writers, and that's quite different.

as with the photoshop example elsewhere, it may be that more writers will use AI tools to help them, which, if done with care, may be good, that's quite different from letting an AI do all the writing. while clarkesworld currently rejects any AI involvement, someone using an AI to explore ideas or prepare an outline may be harder to detect and eventually something like that may be published, but i hope they will be successful in eliminating any AI only submissions.
