It seems like VR is less than half of the investment by RL. In Meta's 2022 annual report, they say "Many of our metaverse investments are directed toward long-term, cutting edge research and development for products that are not on the market today and may only be fully realized in the next decade. This includes exploring new technologies such as neural interfaces using electromyography, which lets people control their devices using neuromuscular signals, as well as innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) and hardware to help build next- generation interfaces. ... *in 2023, we expect to spend approximately 50% of our Reality Labs operating expenses on our augmented reality initiatives, approximately 40% on our virtual reality initiatives, and approximately 10% on social platforms and other initiatives.*"

I'm not sure if Horizon falls into "virtual reality" or "social platforms" but it seems to be the latter: "For example, we have launched Horizon Worlds, a social platform where people can interact with friends, ..."
Regarding the flex layout thing, they decided to deprecate it.

More recent versions (I'm currently on 15) don't seem to have these issues, as least from my working with them. I started an enterprise product on version 13, the upgrade path to 15 has been smooth and so far, so good.
The reason you don’t see that style anymore is, more or less, because publishers stopped marketing it in favor of novels that appeal to the lowest common denominator and every passing fad. The English-speaking book world is controlled by four or five massive publishers who are inherently profit-seeking, and only incidentally art-seeking.
You omitted the key sentence in that introductory section:

> It originated in games but can be used in other types of software.
I think the concept of juice is great, though sometimes less-is-more. If a fruit is too juicy, it's like eating slime or biting a smoothie.

The "burstiness" of juice should contrast with the boringness of everything else. A delete button for e.g. is a very sterile interaction vs the mario coin so probably doesn't need maximum juice.
> ...but at least most people know that "Google programming" is sort of bad. I think we're going to be cleaning up the GPT messes for decades to come because it's very confidently incorrect and much more accessible as you point out.

> Overall, because the average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT is too low, the posting of answers created by ChatGPT is substantially harmful to the site and to users who are asking and looking for correct answers.

> The primary problem is that while the answers which ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect, they typically look like they might be good and the answers are very easy to produce. There are also many people trying out ChatGPT to create answers, without the expertise or willingness to verify that the answer is correct prior to posting. Because such answers are so easy to produce, a large number of people are posting a lot of answers. The volume of these answers (thousands) and the fact that the answers often require a detailed read by someone with at least some subject matter expertise in order to determine that the answer is actually bad has effectively swamped our volunteer-based quality curation infrastructure.

If we're lucky ChatGPT will poison itself by pissing in its well, but it will take a lot of good things with it.

Aren’t you privileged though ?

Common arguments are that those two you listed are American-owned; that China bans US tech giants; that the CCP has outsized control of Chinese companies (and the data that they collect); and that TikTok's algorithm purposefully promotes content that will result in an uneducated, divided population in countries outside of China.

I am not saying that those are true or that I agree with them, but those seem to be the typical arguments.
I chose plug-ins and would kill for access to code interpreter instead. The only interesting plug-in right now is wolfram and it’s not that useful.

I think the application you’re outlining would be done in plugins rather than browsing. Which is probably why you wish you had plugins access.
Nice try, ChatGPT's evil twin. U-238 is fissionable according to this

https://books.google.de/books?id=b5OsewV7smEC&pg=PA473&lpg=P...

"Such reactions produce fast neutrons which cause fission in uranium-238, which is not fissile by slower neutrons below energies of 1MeV."

I don’t know if it’s removed, but it seems to be. I just asked “how many calories in 500lb of beef” which would certainly provide a WA answer in 2011. Today it just gives useless web results.

Yes, and it apparently was removed.
From the article:
"The law, which was approved last year as part of a larger package addressing sexual assault survivors’ rights, prohibits images in school materials that could be considered sexually explicit, such as depictions of genitals or sex acts."

They're not talking about porn, they're talking about any coming of age story that deals with sex at all.
This is insightful. I've been thinking that the problem is that GPT doesn't seem to have a sense of what is really true vs untrue (or conjecture or fantasy).

Maybe it does, but it isn't letting the user in on the confidence level of its statements (essentially lying to the user, as you say).
Imagine being so avoidant to having self control that you would rather have higher food prices, I cannot even comprehend this

It's not hard not being obese, just eat less. Yes, that means having a degree of control over your actions, taking responsibility and not stuffing yourself with dopamine inducing fried food all day
> The API, API docs and the pointer to them are all fully public.

Yeah, the basic model (because it involves publicly publishing untested instructions, which amount to code) is a security problem for the plugin supplier.

OpenAI not doing server-side validation of the closed-test-groups that it advertises for unreleased plugins magnifies the risk, but eliminating it wouldn't eliminate the fundamental problem entirely.

(The OpenAI failure here isn't failing the end user, its failing what they represent to the plugin supplier.)

I don't understand why short duration IP, DNS, SSL lifetimes. I would think that IPs, DNSs, SSL, lifetimes that go unchanged would imply more stability thus better reputation.
>>> If a parent wanted to give this book to their child at an appropriate age, that'd be fine, but just hanging out on a shelf at primary schools with very young kids seems like too much.

>> I've read that book and it's not aimed at children. No sane educator or library person would offer that to a young child.

> That's the problem: <lists articles>

The first article is about 2 high schools.

The second article is about a high school.

The third article is about a high school.

The fourth article is about a high school.

The fifth article is also about a... wait for it!... a high school.

High schools are not primary schools and high schoolers are not young children.

(Also: the whole conversation is hilariously non-unique to libraries. 90% of male teens watch porn, and that's probably an under-estimate given that porn is embarrassing/stigmatizing... I promise you there are exactly zero high schoolers in this entire country who have access to this book in their school library who do not also have infinitely easier access to near-infinite amounts of actual porn.)
Why did it take them 9 hours to notice? The problem was immediately obvious to anyone who used the web interface, as evidenced by the many threads on Reddit and HN.

> between 1 a.m. and 10 a.m. Pacific time.

Oh... so it was because they're based in San Francisco. Do they really not have a 24/7 SRE on-call rotation? Given the size of their funding, and the number of users they have, there is really no excuse not to at least have some basic monitoring system in place for this (although it's true that, ironically, this particular class of bug is difficult to detect in a monitoring system that doesn't explicitly check for it, despite being immediately obvious to a human observer).

Perhaps they should consider opening an office in Europe, or hiring remotely, at least for security roles. Or maybe they could have GPT-4 keep an eye on the site!
Is there anything that affects inference compute time besides the number of parameters? Assuming same hardware, etc.
Quite the opposite actually! Imagine you encounter an optimization problem in your daily work and want to solve it algorithmically. You study the problem a little and find that it contains the knapsack problem as a sub case. Now you know the problem is NP-hard and don't need to waste time trying to solve it. Instead, you can think of ways to modify the problem or decide if you're fine with approximating the solution to some meaningful accuracy.
Your last argument was,

> but people like code reuse, so its almost always better to communicate, collaborate and share at the source code level than at the level of a compiler target

And now you argue we should all only ever have Lua to collaborate on.

Cause that's the only big player in embedded scripting atm. Js alas didn't take off but it's not that bad to embed. Few other languages have much at all. There are some projects to make ebpf embeddable in apps.

You seem to really have it in for what seems like a perfectly good attempt that seemingly makes a lot of sense & has hugely obvious benefits. I don't get the opposition to trying.
the library is provided by the redis team themselves and the bug is awful [1]. I know it's not redis' fault but this bug could hit anyone. Connections may be left in a dirty state where they return data from the previous request in the following one.

[1] https://github.com/redis/redis-py/issues/2624
I found a similar vulnerability in Django's Memcache integration – a space character in a key could cause a failure to read which could lead to an incomplete read, and subsequent reads on the same connection reading data they shouldn't. We never used it in a way that could have led to data being leaked, but that's not generally true. (Also credit to the Django project for their exceptional handling of the vulnerability reporting process)

It turns out that if you put control signals in-band in the data channel, it's extremely hard to get right, and can easily lead to issues like this if connections aren't managed very carefully. One could make a comparison to how LLMs work at the moment too, it feels like a related class of vulnerability to me.
The truth in the lie is that the availability of easy to eat and healthy quantities of food is lower than it could be, and Americans love convenience.

It is possible to lose weight eating only at McDonald's but it takes effort.

The fact that Americans drink about 40 gallons of soda a year on average HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING GO AWAY.

(I'd love to do the math if all caloric sodas in the USA had corn syrup removed and fake sugars added what the result would be)
Somewhat off-topic, but the other day a school principal in Florida was forced out of a job because some parents were upset that their 6th-graders were exposed to an image of Michelangelo's David - in an art history class: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11894493/Tallahasse...

There's an overlap between these sort of hyper-reactionary people and politically motivated street toughs, who are likely to keep escalating such situations because it's strategically effective.
> A sad thought I have about inflation is the fact that it is, wittingly or not, a weapon wielded by the rich against the middle and lower classes.

I believe that Andrew Bailey, the current Governor of the Bank of England, was criticised for exactly that last year.

Wow: “Meanwhile they were heating up, mainly from the radioactive element Aluminum-26. The amount of energy this element released during the first 2 to 3 million years of solar system history amounts to more than all of the heat released by all other sources over the past 4.5 billion years (except for the sun, of course).”
They'll dig up some random anonymous account on twitter as somehow representative of "the left".
Rising interest rates make debts worse and asset values (including those belonging to the rich) to decrease, whereas it's mostly just the value of money which improves.

Also, who is rich/poor and has assets/debts can be hard to tell from appearances alone. Would you call this guy poor [0]? Seems like he has a good life. Which begs the question... when we talk about taxing the rich, who are we thinking of exactly? Someone living beyond their means, or below their means?

> Only for some incredibly broad definition of fault that almost no one uses.

It's a definition most laypeople use. It's developers who tend to use a very narrow definition.

I don't think it should be controversial to say that when you ship a product, you are responsible for how that product behaves.
Sure but the obsession regarding China is leaving everyone vulnerable and blind to the methods being utilized by everyone else. It's not as if TikTok is using some alien technology here that nobody else has access to.

Cambridge Analytica anyone? Did we all just forget? That wasn't even Chinese influence and still it had tremendous impact on the US (and how her citizens view each other).
That makes sense. I am against involuntary circumcision (and honestly, Christians shouldn't be practicing it anyway :p).

OpenAI uses redis to store pieces of text. Fetching pieces of text is not computationally intensive.
Anyone care to comment on why the output of these models changes so dramatically given so little Q&A training? It's a 6 billion parameter model with only 50 thousand Q&A samples.

It's clear the model already "knows" the format of a Tweet (short length, attention-grabbing, contains hashtags). The model also knows stuff about language models (word2vec, tokenization), and can include entities from the question in its response (Dolly, Databricks). Yet, it just doesn't put these pieces together in the right way without the Q&A training.

Edit: For kicks, I asked GPT-4 this question: https://imgur.com/a/sM4uyBn
All the more reason for zlibrary to exist, to work around silly local yokel politicians relegating their constituency to ignorance for their own agendas by book burnings. Good thing anyone can buy their way into politics, isn't it?
Congratulations on moving the goalposts. Further away. So they looked smaller.
While the perfect is the enemy of the good, you are correct.
It feels like you're trying to be just vague enough that you won't be called out on being wrong.

The plugin system is completely open. It's a manifest file like a robot.txt. You can hook up the API to those endpoints yourself with minimal technical skill.

Many people had already integrated Wolfram and that was before there was an open format specifically designed to be easily integrated into ChatGPT.

At the end of the day for how overused the term "FUD" is on this site, this is the first time I've actually seen it in action.
Usually, laws don't allow exceptions due to religious beliefs so it's unlikely to make much difference as the laws would still exist and be enforced. More likely would be if juries decide to return an innocent verdict for crimes against laws they consider to be immoral or unjust and this already happens for non-religious reasons (e.g. a person using excessive force defending their property).
That’s true but it’s also easier for certain jobs than others.

Also depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances they might say that they honestly believed that they would be capable of it but realized that they aren’t and you might be obligated to accommodate them to a certain degree.
I expect a calculator to multiply 2 numbers for me very quickly and correctly. Every time. I don't hold any human to that bar and that's perfectly ok.
No doubt that is what happened. Thanks for the deeper source.
I've seen a paper (I forget which, might respond below later) about GPT-4 and tool use i.e. it reliably knows when it's hit the limit of what it can do on its own, and can successfully emit commands for external APIs to handle those aspects for it (calculator, character manipulation, etc).

My hunch is if you read that, you could get "raw GPT-4" to defer to WolframAlpha via a similar mechanism (with a couple dozen lines of glue code).
So if you get your finger cut off, or you go blind, you're not human any more?
It's definitely some "enlightened centrist/all sides are the same" stuff there.
We avoid inflation by taxing the wealthy and redistributing that to the lower socioeconomic classes.

Global ecosystems are already in a free fall, we don’t need to “encourage production” [by deregulating industries? perhaps getting rid of those pesky environmental and worker protections? (that’ll definitely help out those workers) ] and even more rapid resource consumption.
As well as revocation, I suppose it means if certificate lifetimes do change in future it can be done without having to upgrade/reconfigure all existing clients.

Perhaps someone using ACME for internal infrastructure may want shorter lifetimes, and this will make it easier.
I'd love to see the sum of time lost around the world with this one little change!
It wouldn't matter if they didn't. Research and disclosure of vulnerabilities is an absolute good; they don't need to earn the right to publish bugs (it's closer to the other way around).
Maybe a 3D printer could me built on the Moon and build rockets there. Like really big rockets:0
It's likely possible that the lack of self-control that is sometimes related to overeating correlates with lack of self-control in other areas such as saving money or avoiding debt.

But that's not popular to talk about; nobody likes hearing about personal responsibility anymore.
Yeah I think it was thinking of U-235. At least in this case ChatGPT made it clear that the number did not come from Wolfram, so you don't need to be especially knowledgable to see that it shouldn't be trusted.

I purchased yet another SFF PC off eBay recently, these things are great btw. Cheap, small, powerful and very reasonable on power usage... And I noticed this HP unit had a BIOS update in its initial Windows Update run. Granted it was under 'optional' updates but there are no warnings or even descriptions as to what it could or will do.
Seems like it should at least provide some info on potential consequences for a regular user. But things have been trending this way for a while, I remember when the SOP was to never attempt a flash under Windows yet I haven't seen that warning/advice in ages.
Just spit balling, one fix could be to just skip the group stage and go right to a big knockout stage, ala domestic cups. That seems too obvious/simple though, so I'm sure there's some reason why they don't do it this way. Maybe they want every country to have a minimum number of games...

Having a longer group stage will probably make these situation less likely as the best teams will pull ahead, but I don't think we want the players to play so many more games.
Aren't politicians involved whenever the will of the voters is being enacted? What if most parents in MO support what the politicians are doing? What if they called their representatives and asked them to take action against libraries?

If you oppose top-down meddling in public education then I assume you support vouchers? That's about as bottom-up as things get.
I'm not sure you really get how markets work. Price controls can have a few different effects depending on the good in question, but one of those is shortages, which can be really bad when the good is food.

Short TLS certificate lifetimes mean that the CA checks to ensure the certificate owner actually controls the DNS once every 3 months, so it's less likely someone will have a certificate for a domain they only had control of for a temporary period.
> "Nobody cares"

Yet another case study of absolutism, which can be simply dismissed.

People paying for ChatGPT care once it goes down and getting their details and chats leaked that is certainly outside of HN. Same with GitHub. Both having ~100M users between them.

That's the reality.
More like, "IRS". Taxation is the demand for the currency. Even if you conduct all trade with other people in seashells (or whatever), you'd still need to obtain dollars to pay your taxes.
The question is, why do they have a monopoly?

(Well, the actual question is DO they have a monopoly, to which the answer is mostly no)
EE is a pretty big field with a lot of different areas so its somewhat difficult to give general recommendations but if you are looking to see what your intro courses will look like you might take a look at MIT's open courseware or edX for intro to circuit analysis or digital logic. Many schools also publish which textbooks they use for most courses which may be helpful if you want to check them out. If you want to get hands on with some circuits, you can make some cool projects pretty quickly with an ardunio (or similar cheaper knockoff) (it uses a subset of C for programming).

If your considering the textbook route, I have some resources in a google drive from my undergrad I can share if you send me an email to add (my email is in profile).
