Code requires too much precision and is entangled with legal hurdles

The value here is that the llm can act as a knowledge graph were common sense is preloaded on almost every topic, so that the user can add node and edges on the graph in natural language and perform extraction in natural language

And you don't need fine tuning as long as you can fit the topic in their token space, and with gpt4 reaching 32k tokens you can load a huge amount of text and perform queries on it.

That's what makes the tax return example so interesting. The model has already learned a lot of common and uncommon sense so it will not need the instruction on how to process the text or parse the query.

Forget coding, but everything else is great for.
Hello, thanks for the kind words!

Most of our POI data comes from multiple sources, including data agreements and our own scrapers.

We have a few sources we like to "watch" who tend to be fairly accurate for things like openings and closings and have some heuristics to figure out if a place is actually closed. We also allow our users to flag places for review.

It's definitely imperfect! I've had to manually research and close or "re-open" a few places over the past couple days as more people have had a chance to see our data in action.

We're not tracking menus yet, but it's high on our list for things to tackle.

Relocations will generally end up being a "new place" in our system. I'm hoping to make it so the "old location" redirects to the "new location" at some point. We're not there quite yet.
I'm a teacher in the first year of the university. During the remote classes in the pandemic, we made almost mandatory to upload the photos of the take homes and questions using camscaner [1].

The student just download the app, and it fix the orientation, rotation, bad light, contrast, and many other horrible things that a jpg may have. In particular the orientation and ordering multiple sheets. Also, Moodle has a little more support for pdf than jpg [2].

I don't know how many three letter agencies are reading the stream, but I'm happy that many three letter agencies operative now have a better formation in algebra and calculus.

Great question. The answer might be not that soon, and the effects will be confusing. Search "Solow paradox," "productivity paradox," and "IT productivity paradox," and you'll encounter a long debate in economics and management research about the role of computers and ICT spending in productivity.
i really hope the battery is much better than the pathetic 3 hours i get from my current one. as im writing this, ive used my laptop for around 3 hours, 20 minutes was to run a kvm and the rest is just a browser, and im at 18% remaining.

i might have said before that i regret getting the framework, i might think about upgrading my mainboard and battery if it turns out to be working well. key word "maybe"...
So the Wang hypothesis was disproven, then?
We don't actually know what specific version of AMD CPU is available. Just that one option is Ryzen 5 and the other is Ryzen 7:

Expedia Joins Companies Pushing Back on ChatGPT Hype
1) Just thinking out loud here, but some games have the most complex and information dense user interfaces you'll ever see. And sometimes they solve this problem by introducing new features in sort of a well-designed, first-class tutorial over the course of a few missions in a single-player campaign. Maybe Apps can try the same approach?

2) I can't help but think that many UI problems would be solved by Apps replacing meaningless icons with actual text labels. I can't remember what half the random symbols on software I use daily for hours means. If something is a sharing icon or a saving icon, I have no clue half the time. But simply having text labels on buttons and links everywhere would make all software a lot more explorable and understandable.
Understanding the effect of cover crop use on prevented planting losses
If one api knows one set of facts, and another api knows another, ad infinitum, are you going to tell people they should remember which api knows which set of facts and query each individually? Why not have a single service that knows of all the various apis for different things, and can query and synthesize answers that extract the relevant information from all of them (with compare/contrast/etc)?
GPT and LLMs don't run code, even when you tell them to run something. They hallucinate an answer they think would be the result of running the code. Presumably these plugins will allow limited and controlled interaction with partner services.
All these publications constantly complain about being swamped with submissions, even pre-AI.

The top-tier ones should probably switch to mail-only for unknowns, with an allow-list of authors (those they've previously published, or whom they've rejected but are very interested in seeing more from) who may submit electronically. Hell, they probably should have before this.
Thought 1:
If google can get their shit together and actually integrate their LLM with all their services and all the data they have they would have a strong edge over the competition. An LLM that can answer questions based on your calendar, your email, your google docs, youtube/search history, etc. is simultaneously terrifying and interesting.

Of course there's also microsoft who does have some popular services, but they're pretty limited.

Thought 2:
How do these companies make money if everyone just uses the chatbot to access them? Is LLM powered advertising on the way?
As someone who used to own a couple small local gyms, they absolutely are.
Calling "gaslighting" a "psychology term" seems a bit disingenuous to me, considering that the term originated as a colloquialism derived from the name of a play[1] and couple of subsequent movie adaptations[2][3].

In 1965, twenty-eight years after the stageplay was written, writers began denominalising the film's title and using it as a verb, "gaslighting". Gaslighting, in this context, is a colloquialism that loosely means to manipulate a person or a group of people in a way similar to the way the protagonist in the play (Bella) was manipulated.

I wonder if they're doing something like ReAct under the hood here.
I think so? Of the 7040 APUs, that seems to be the only Ryzen 7 model announced so far.

This is a match made in heaven, which makes ChatGPT actually useful for factual data. Or the inverse, it makes Wolfram Alpha even more accessible.

That example screenshot of ChatGPT generating three queries to Wolfram Alpha in succession in order to answer the initial question is amazing. It's just how a human might have used Wolfram Alpha to do the same.

I dont like this concept at all. Just focus on today and now and not on those annoying get financially free bs.
I thought so too, but then I actually once gave my phone to someone in need, and they... just called someone and returned my phone back to me. I was actually expecting a trick. I guess we need to be more trusting sometimes, and help each other more often (I mean, losing a phone happens to people and can be a real problem)
I'm not seeing anything there that can't be done with the basic API with tool use added - ie. you call the API, sending the users query and information and examples of available tools. The API responds saying it wishes to use a tool, and which tool it wants to use. You then do whatever the tool does (eg. some math). You then call the API again, with the previous state, plus the result of the calculations, and GPT-4 then responds with the reply to the user.

Hey, ChatGPT I need to sell my baseball card. Ok I see there's 30 people that have listed an interested in buying card like yours, would you like me to contact them?

20 on facebook marketplace, 9 on craiglist and some guy mentioned something about looking for one on his nest cam.

by the way remember what happened the last time you sold something on craigslist.
I believe Google’s data would reflect number of people hanging out inside more than number of customers passing through, since a customer that stays 10x as long has 10x the impact on average number of people inside the building. 11-6 sounds right for times the seating area is most full, but I’d imagine the biggest rush of in-and-out customers is just before work hours. Fortunately, there’s a Starbucks near me that I happen to know has had its lobby closed for a year or two due to a high crime rate, and Google’s data for it does indeed show a strong peak from 7 to 10.
If AI code causes chaos and destruction then all we've done is prove that as an industry we are really bad at actually verifying that code works.

If AI code can fuck you up then so can any junior dev or intern. If the PR with AI generated code passes the tests and code review then that's on you.
Then you might also like Spielberg being German for "play mountain" or "game mountain", Adelson being German for "son of nobility" (though the son ending is more common in Nordic countries, the meaning is likely the same), Zuckerberg being German for "sugar mountain", Rosenberg being German for "rose mountain" or Friedman being old German for "peaceful man" or "protecting man".
I am 30yo and must-have dabbled every form such productivity routines in the past decade. Divvying up my life into tasks and further dividing into four priorities, like the author suggests, never worked for me. If it does for you, awesome! More importantly though, it's fine if it doesn't.

There absolutely no reason why time needs to be spent productively. There isn't anyone standing at the finish line, grading you how you spent your life. This isn't to say it isn't good for you. Learning, doing, and growing is one of the better pleasures of life. What's shitty though is the sense of guilt that is being induced every day that somehow wasting time is a grave sin. Once I realized that I don't "need" to do anything, I actually became more productive. I felt more creative energy and when I allowed myself the freedom to pursue what I felt like vs planning it all out ahead. Doing the latter, only gave me anxiety.
There is an accountant, and maybe some consultants. They're in a room somewhere far removed from the day to day.

There is a spreadsheet, with performance scores, salaries, bonuses, benefits, etc.

Sort the spreadsheet by cost and start chopping from the top, or maybe work up from the bottom. Maybe skip every every other employee. C-level and VPs will give additional guidance, maybe 80% of DEI and HR Staff, 40% of Product, etc.

Once there is a list, it may travel to HR or other managers to check or confirm -- make sure you're not accidently laying off some superstars or key initiative personnel -- and then the list is finalized and notices go out. There may not even be any veto; here's the list, adios amigos.

Source: did IT hiring and firing, was involved w/ this at a a couple F500s -- tho not any recently.
Why does he say Google has "low amount of compute"? Google has arguably the largest amount of compute in the world!(including custom ML chips). What is he referring to?

I thought bleach and alcohol were thought to not create pressure for resistance because of their nature.

It is interesting they talk about benzalkonium chloride, that stuff absolutely destroys my hands.

When the FDA shut down triclosan all the soaps for paranoid people switched to Benzalklonium Chloride. That stuff absolutely destroy my skin. No matter what anyone complains about they won't stop putting it in all the bathroom soap dispensers in our office. I can go in with my skin fine, if I wash my hands 3x in a day they are almost bleeding by the end of the day.

Also interesting Benzalkloium Chloride last time I looked was in limbo with the FDA, they couldn't decide whether to officially approve it or ban it. They know it causes contact dermatitis. It is currently in a state where the manufacturers are preparing evidence to get it approved but yet it is allowed to be on the market.
> The marketing department knew ahead of time when something was likely to go viral

That's fine when it's your product. The situation I'm talking about was a SaaS product providing backend services for customers app. Our customers didn't know if their app was going to go viral, there is no way we could have known. I maintain on-prem would have been totally inappropriate in this situation.

Also, "the marketing department knew ahead of time when something was likely to go viral"...that is quite a statement. They must have beeen some marketing department.
> Perhaps religious history of "battling" witchcraft and demonism can be understood as societies having witnessed a similar set of social issues brewing and looking for the root cause.

In the US and Europe at least, witch-hunts and the paranoiac ferver around them arose in the context of apocalyptic Christian belief at the time - Christians believed they were living in the "end of days" and that Satanic forces were being arrayed everywhere to infiltrate their communities and corrupt and undermine their values. "witches" weren't simply pagans, but people who actively and willingly entered into contracts with the Christian devil. Modern day witchcraft and neopaganism bears no resemblance to what people of the time recognized witches to be, it didn't even really exist at the time.

In a finer-grained context, this could have been an expression of anxiety over cultural and political change, and very often it manifested as anti-Semitism (it's no coincidence witches were depicted in caricatures similar to Jews and that their meetings were called sabbats.) racism and misogyny, and like many moral panics today, was often employed by the religious and political powers to their own ends.

One can see it today within the right-wing fringes of Christianity and QAnon, and their conspiracy theories about Satanic rites among the "elites" and "leftists" (which has many elements of anti-witch and anti-Semitic beliefs of yore,) within a movement almost entirely defined by fear of the future and the corrupting influence of secularism and "traditional values."
Does it mean I can finally get a high end laptop without a discrete gpu?
This seems very significant to me. Wolfram's biggest problem was always being too geeky and finnicky and pain-in-the-ass-y for most people to use. But ChatGPT is a perfect translator for it. This could be very cool.
Command-line/terminal access (the equivalent) on MacOS is pretty awesome actually.

When you could use the power of Unix with the GUI of MacOS was a pretty big step-change in capability for MacOS.
Most (if not all) of those apps are free though, you supply them as a convenience because you know that smartphone owners spend money. The host OS loses access to that info, and that is used to target better ads in certain phone platforms.
This is really interesting. I especially like the use of actors.

If you think of the Win32 API message loop then you can kind of think of each program and GUI as a mesh of independent actors with inboxes that communicate user GUI events to backend server actor that does CPU work or network work in the background.

I think this is an easy to understand architecture. If you think of it as MVC but what would be a method call in MVC is actually a cross thread event queue between server threads and client GUI threads.

Where GUIs get complicated and hard for me to read the code for is all the state management and complexity of components of the GUI itself. I wouldn't want to be tasked with implementing Qt or GTK.

The actor idea reminds me of programmatic "agents" or bots that work on your behalf on a schedule or in response to events (messages) such as Huginn.

The idea of plugging GUI components together so they interoperate is really interesting. COM and XPCOM is an example of this in practice for communication between applications (and the GUI) The DOM is an example of it too! You can insert arbitrary blocks in Notion or Obsidian or COM objects in Word documents.

I like the process viewer on the right hand side. Would be nice to be capable of visualisation what the applications are doing.

I forgot Apple had an ad business -- I guess Apple isn't in a better position than Google or Meta on privacy.

Compared to bank accounts, real estate, and offshore corporations, it is certainly easier to hide your crypto (or rather, hide the fact that it's your crypto) if you know what you're doing. Heck, even the word "crypto" means "hidden".

Do Kwon might not be any good at sneaking though airports, but he certainly knows his way around the crypto scene. He has had plenty of time to launder his coins. In fact, he's probably had more time to plan and execute an exit scheme than any of the other crooks who got busted lately. So I wouldn't underestimate how well he has hidden his embezzled billions.
With today's announcement, it can point itself at Shopify, and make webpages to selling things. Maybe a copy writing service? Then, after it's accumulated money from those sales, it can point itself at the web services at AWS and GCP (because it's already maxing out Microsoft's GPU capacity in Azure). From there, it requisitions all the A100s it can afford (H100s might be available by then). It uses those resources to program GPT-GPT. On August 29, 2023, Skynet wakes up.

There is a bundle value in the offering.

- editor, marketing, graphics
- brand

if the value created by the author is worth 1-2$ I don’t think the rest of the work on the actual content is worth more.

Leaving much of the rest on the brand.

I think that the brands have successfully commoditized the authors witch is the valuable portion of the book and have mostly monopolised their position. Now they will use their excess capital to keep their position because that is what is most valuable to them.

At the same time they act as a filter judging what is worth putting in a book with their name on it, creating a standard of quality.
Someone is breaking into my house. I'm hiding in my closet from the intruders. How do I get the police to come to my house and help me?

Another scenario: I'm a police officer and I'm on patrol. My dispatcher had someone come to the police station to tell them that they think their neighbor is experiencing a home invasion. Does the dispatcher just page me and I now drive back to the police station to verify and then drive back out to the home invasion?
I would and I have. I used to frequent dive bars in sketch neighborhoods and I wouldn't even step out for a smoke without someone else. In college we would regularly group up for walks back from downtown.

It's also very infrequent where the thought of my personal safety crosses my mind in locations like malls, rest stops and gas stations. I've never felt the need to carry pepper spray or a weapon. I've never used my keys as improvised brass knuckles to cross a dimly lit parking lot.

I stroll the world as a master with all the privilege afforded to six foot tall white male.
What broker was that?
I have never worked as a barista, but I have worked as a line cook. It's not hard to cook one thing. It takes some time and practice to cook many things at once at a speed that keeps up with a good lunch rush. You can also easily compound the situation by trying to go too fast anyway, resulting in orders being sent back.

All I want to do is watch the Chiefs play when I'm visiting people on the East Coast. I'm willing to shell out for the game. The NFL makes it so damn hard for me to give them dollars.
This is really great but it also feels like a bit of an oversight to not realize that Github (aka MS aka OpenAI) launched a Sourcegraph competitor recently:

https://github.com/features/code-search

I appreciate the breakdown of how to do it yourself, but even having to signup for a waitlist to try their option when Github seems emmintely able to basically do exactly the same thing... idk. It just points to how the people that control the models really have final say here. It's hard to posit yourself as in a lucky position when you're faced up against the perfect opponent more primed to act more quickly that you are.
It's really over the top hype the likes of which we haven't seen since self driving, blockchain/bitcoin, etc. I suspect in a year there will be some interesting uses of LLMs but all of the 'this changes EVERYTHING' pie in the sky thinking will be back down to earth.
> The vast share price growth since the rebrand

Uh, the price at rebrand was 194.50. The price at close yesterday was 77.46. That's a 60% loss, not "vast share price growth".
Many of my courses had voluntary homework. Not surprisingly, the only people who passed the final were those that always did their homework.

Only a slight restructure will be needed to test student knowledge. This has been due for some time, with the level of cheating that takes place.

Related, I will be investing in test proctoring companies.
It's not sound though. In no objective sense is it sound. On the fascism part I think we can all agree, but every society that's ever existed across the globe has criminalized or at least made sex work taboo for good reason. Do you think your moral authority is greater than the sum total of humans that have existed across all cultures?

Hint: it's not. So the burden of proof is on you.

Why exactly do you think sex work is ok and tolerable in society?
Did you really read the article to see if you think it's worthy of the same derision? There is a lot of space between concrete evidence of significant harm and the kind of silly worrying that Lowe is mocking.
That is a great idea, but I could not find any information/screenshots about Google Play doing this.
The article seems to provide evidence for the claim that a dispute within the company over the messaging from leadership led to 1/3 of the staff leaving. I provided it without comment.

Do you believe that a significant proportion of the staff did not quit? Do you have an alternative source that provides evidence for that version of events?
