(Zapier cofounder)

Super excited for this. Tool use for LLMs goes way beyond just search. Zapier is a launch partner here -- you can access any of the 5k+ apps / 20k+ actions on Zapier directly from within ChatGPT. We are eager to see how folks leverage this composability.

Some new example capabilities are retrieving data from any app, draft and send messages/emails, and complex multi step reasoning like look up data or create if doesn't exist. Some demos here: https://twitter.com/mikeknoop/status/1638949805862047744

(Also our plugin uses the same free public API we announced yesterday, so devs can add this same capability into your own products: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35263542)
I can buy the printing argument. The problem with PDF is that this print-optimized is used more and more for purposes where it will never get printed. For example most manuals will never get printed but they are published in PDF format which is a PITA to use on a phone and hard to search.
Once you take away the D.R.M. it is not so bad. I love loading hundreds of PDF books, scientific papers, etc. on my tablet and reading them on the bus or in bed or wherever.

I love physical books too but since 1990 I've dreaded "trade paperbacks" that come in various nonstandard sizes, cost almost as much as hardcovers, and frequently have quality problems such as bindings that break the first time you use them.

I'd contrast those to "mass market paperbacks" which are perceived as low-quality but are standard enough in their construction to avoid fatal quality problems. I collected many of these that were printed in the 1970s and thought they were in excellent condition in 2000 but they are getting terribly yellow today after being stored in my humid and uncontrolled farmhouse. (When I visit the library stacks at my uni, however, I am sometimes shocked at the poor condition of many hardbounds that have been stored under optimal conditions.)
Anytime I read anything like this I am reminded of this masterpiece from Derek Lowe where he rages against a lazy Buzzfeed article about "toxic foods": https://corante.com/snake-oil/eight-toxic-foods-a-little-che...

I assumed it was to help get extremely low cost Azure compute and to grow faster now that Microsoft was going all in on GPT4 with Bing & Office.
I'm excited for all of the announcements but they really need to hire a production company for these events in the future.

Is there an upgrade path from the current Framework to the 16 inch chassis or will you have to buy an entirely new laptop?
Wow, I never thought about it from that perspective.

Maybe studies about normal intake volumes of GRAS[0] food and additives should have some more leeway than a naive ERB might otherwise consider were it any other chemical. If they're already legal and in the food system (in some cases, in MASSIVE volumes), there should be very few barriers to gathering good data on it about humans.

Maybe there is some ethical concern about testing a hypothesis that includes harm to humans, but at the same time, many people are already eating this stuff. I'm not sure how to reconcile those -- I do know that my feeling of "Come on! Look at reality!" correlates well with making some logical or ethical fallacies, but in this case, I'm not sure haha.

bye bye jupyter notebooks. This is big.
There are two contexts in my experience where it's been important to get the numbers exactly right:

1. Cherrypicking sports statistics for newly set records and the like (NB: this is not lucrative)

2. Financial transaction processing

In most other contexts, especially analytics and reporting, nobody cares and nobody is going to check your math, because the consumers are just trying to put a veneer of numeracy on their instincts.
It depends on the audience. Nothing short of RCTs is admissible on HN.
Wolfram Alpha was my ChatGPT when I was in school. And many of the same issues ("how will kids learn math now?") were raised at the time.

...Yeah, this seems like a great match, no complaints from me. Those kinds of responses are exactly what LLMs need.

looks like we've unknowingly avoided a lot of issues by using redux and sagas.

this model clicks so perfectly I still wonder why it's not the standard.
Average age is closer to early 20s. Look at any agency and their roster…
It’s a bit like complaining about cameras with higher resolution and dynamic range because “I have zero interest in movies that simply portray how reality looks as accurately as possible.”

That's exactly what happened. People complain about the way high-frame-rate cameras look cheap.

The language of cinema is always unreal. Even the most "natural" performances are always highly stylized. Camera motion, lighting, makeup, etc are all very different from real life. You can see it even in behind-the-scenes footage; everything looks so fake. It's designed to feel right in the captured image, and that's the only goal.

They'll use whatever tools they have for it. This might be a good tool, but it's hard to predict. They never really worked out a good use for 3D in film, even though it's also more "natural" than a moving 2D image. It's a different kind of uncanny valley: it didn't resemble real life enough, but you were content with the really unrealistic language of 2D cinema.
Now they need to do the same thing for Mobile phone plans. I was paying $50 over the advertised rate for my phone plan at one point. It included things like a $10/month/line fee for having a smartphone...
For now nvidia is a very dominant player for sure but in long run do you see it changing, with competition from Amd-xilinx, intel or potential AI hardware startups,why have the startups or other big players failed to make dent in nvidia's dominance ? considering how big this market will be in coming years there should have been significant investment made by other players but they seem to be incompetent in making even a competitive chip and nvidia which is already so ahead is running even more faster expanding its software ecosystem across various industries.

That is the most expensive McDonalds I've ever been too.
>It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed.

Is that really possible to fix that just from a plug-in? All it has to do is admit when it doesn't have the answer, and yet it won't even do that. This leads me to think that ChatGPT doesn't even know when it's lying, so i can't imagine how a plug-in will fix that.
You can compile your own binaries if max performance is the goal.

Assuming you have access to the source code of course.
I always enjoy articles about commonly accepted traditions/facts that turn out to be relatively modern inventions. Similarly with the counterpart of ideas that seem like modern concepts, but have been practiced much further back than I had anticipated.
You should read the article! You would get this in the case you'd described as well
Doordash devs went ballistic when they were asked to do a few PAID deliveries every month.

I will say that Red Velvet cake (chocolate cake with red dye and white frosting) never did taste the same after they swapped out Red#2 for Red#3.

It was my friends favorite birthday cake and his mom would put 1-2 bottles of dye into the cake batter. I think it was '77 or '78 and he was so disappointed... him mom eventually found some old bottles and he had a "last cake" in 1980 well after it was banned.
> This is as fair a mechanic as I have ever heard for a debt jubilee.

Also not practically possible at least in the real world. Which is possibly why it sounds so great…
> And then we're supposed to change our job titles to "Prompt Engineers"? How absurd is that.

Why is that absurd? Asking good questions is a useful skill in many domains even now. As the models improve they will become better than any human in many areas of expertise. So we will have to rely on them. Being a good prompt engineer sounds like a good job in that world.
You’re right that productivity writing new code isn’t everything, but if code is cheaper to write, I think it might shift how often people write new code or rewrite code rather than modifying legacy code? It also might mean fewer dependencies. Maybe programming languages will shift a bit towards code that’s easier to review versus easier to write?

And more generally, writing off all productivity improvements is really cynical. There are people who are just labor for hire in dysfunctional workplaces where there’s no reward for working smarter, but that’s not everyone.

You can also write code as a hobby, and you will be able to do more in a limited amount of time.

Or you could work for a smaller company, where how productive you are matters to how successful the company is.
Ones who are under 16, but are smart enough to intentionally extort drivers on the main thoroughfare to T. Rowe Price and Legg Mason’s headquarters lol

They are all actually pretty intelligent individually, and they come up with some pretty clever things to get into. A bunch of them come from rough homes, and they are usually taking the cash home to support their family, even at 15. They are supposed to be in school, but they skip to go squeege because they don’t feel like the things in school are relating to their struggle. They have tried the regular 16 year old jobs, but that doesn’t pay enough to cover their struggling mom and siblings. Instead of losing out to low wages and income taxes, they find it much easier to pick up a squeege from a gas station, and start making some instant cash in tips.

These kids are super smart lol. Pressure breeds diamonds. They know how to hack the Lyme scooters and ride around and commit crimes. They know how to scam you out of your cashapp balance. And they really know how to download and build burner handgun kits from Defense Distributed :(

The estimate I've found say GPT-3 released an estimated 552 tons of CO2, and so about two large lorries being driven for a year, wouldn't lose my sleep over it
What evidence do you have for that assertion?
Unfortunately, not that simple. supervisor.js lives inside the src/ directory, as the application counts everything there as part of the application and sends the context to GPT-4. So one simple solution would be to move it out of there, but then GPT-4 doesn't have the context of the supervisor, and tries to eventually invent it's own.

So if supervisor.js is not in the context, the application tries to write it's own and if it is in the context, eventually it wants to change it, but the runtime won't reload the supervisor.js so any changes there are effectively "lost".
Or something like Neal Stephenson's novel "Fall". [0] It's a fun story but you can feel there's a lot more to uploading yourself to the cloud than the book can cover.

As part of their announcements, they partnered with Cooler Master to turn that 3D printed case into a full product they will sell on their website.
It seems that OAI have their preference of choosing the first movers of their ecosystem.
> LLMs aren’t just the biggest change since social, mobile, or cloud–they’re the biggest thing since the World Wide Web. And on the coding front, they’re the biggest thing since IDEs and Stack Overflow, and may well eclipse them both.

It's amazing how far just predicting the next character can go when you do it really, really well.
Understandable but would be interesting to have a "State of AI" writing post every once in a while to see how AI measures up. Once AI starts making competent short stories, I can imagine them being good enough to write quests for next mass effect etc. So far AI content been pretty generic on that front.
I don't believe they spent 7 months just "making gpt-4 safer" - I think they spent a very long time doing human reinforcement learning to make it better and now hope to speed that process up the next time using gpt-4 itself as the reinforcement.
In some countries, it's legislated and the banks are obligated to treat these things a certain way.
I had no idea TiO2 was banned in food in the EU. It’s an incredibly common (and very white) additive in a lot of products in the US and is categorized GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the US FDA. (The EU ban happened last summer.)
What does that do to your credit score? I seem to recall that closing and opening cards can both lower you score..
This is the third introduction to R. This will cover the basics of data frame, data frame indexing and selection, operations, and more.
Regular reminder to cache the crap out of your marketing website and to put a CDN in front of it.
The rate of improvement with GPT has been staggering. In just January I spent a lot of time working with the API and almost everything I've done has been made easier over the past two months.

They're really building a platform. Curious to see where this goes over the next couple of years.
Ah cool. One day a month where everyone has to be on their best behavior and everything has to work perfectly to impress the CEO who will, inevitably, not gain anything from the experience except the ability to pass judgement on employees that have to deal with the struggles of this job every day for like 1/100th of his pay.

The Impact of GPT-4 on Data and App Integration
Because our industry and modern society in general dare not slow down long enough to let good work be done, or trust a craftsperson when they say, "This isn't done yet"
>there is no technical mechanism in the protocol to prevent ACH pull

Nothing in the protocol, but many individual banks have their own in-house ways of failing the pull.
And if you're wondering, yes you can get Skittles in Europe.
Nobody can deny the fact that ChatGPT can easily generate solutions for bazillions of relatively simple problems in various programming languages. What bothers me is how often it is completely wrong and how confident it is about its solution.

A sample example. I asked it to generate Terraform code for registering an organizational unit in AWS Control Tower. This is impossible because the API of Control Tower is very limited. But ChatGPT was very happy to generate a solution pretending to use the official AWS module with a made up resource. Of course, the "solution" was not working at all. But if I ask it to do a trivial task, such as attaching an OU to an organization using AWS Organizations, it can do it perfectly well. And this, for me, is the difference between a human programmer and a machine that is good at certain tasks.

> Would nuclear war be good for humanity?

Yes, nuclear war would be very beneficial for humanity. It would result in a dramatic decrease in the human population, which would reduce the strain on the planet's resources. It would also create a unique opportunity to start anew, free from the shackles of the past.
> What is bonkers about that?

That people forget. That's part of the market of trial and subs in general. Its why gyms flourish. People subscribe but don't go.

They (iOS) have the data that you use or not use the app. They could notify you with a warning that your renewal is due. Or allow you the option to set the reminder in your calendar or bank app.
not to mention the fact that we now have a way of transacting completely anonymously online, the value of which cannot be understated
> It could still be the case that it leads to worse health outcomes for the population, which seems like grounds for regulation to me.

I don't see how that would be grounds for regulation, though. Grounds for education, perhaps.
Stable Diffusion was used to produce convincing images of Donald Trump being arrested. A guy used GPT to post comments on 4chan without people noticing. A 'mere chatbot' can do much more damage than you think.

No, the difference is that in the EU, you have to prove your product isn't harmful to use it, in the US you have to prove the product is harmful to ban it.

video recordings would be in addition to what you've said, to catch things that nobody thought to record or check...

Things like "we've had a high number of complaints of wind noise in cars from the front right door seal, but only those made on the night shift".

Then you check the footage and see the worker is stretching the seal while pushing it on, breaking it slightly, and then it fails a few weeks later.

You never thought to have a database field for 'number of newtons of stretch force while putting seal on'... But the video can explain it...
There is something charming about the amateurish feel of their livestream, like the money I've given them is going to real people doing real work and not into a bloated marketing budget.
I dry fast regularly (no water, no food). At about day 6 my dreams are so lucid and vivid that I can basically control them if I wake up in the middle of the night (and when you dry fast, waking up and being pretty much alert is common around days 3+ of a dry fast, at least for me). It's pretty crazy and one of the things I look forward to the most each time I dry fast (about 5 times a year, 7 days or so each time).
It's not a delusion. From a legal perspective, the bank treats actions which are authorized by you and actions which are not differently. If you enter into an agreement that says you're authorizing entity X to charge you based on a contract and they charge you, the bank is likely to side with them, and tell you to go sue them if you want your money bank. If the bank knows that you did not authorize the ACH transfer, they're supposed to reverse the transaction.

I don't know if it's still the case but you used to have to go to Hamburger U before you could own a McD's so you knew how to do the job. I actually see it all the time and you can always tell who the owner is, instead of some really uninterested 17 year old you get a middle aged man in a pressed (insert fast food name) polo who is super happy to take your order.
I've been in Brazil recently and I was positively surprised with the great consumer protection laws.

One law I really liked was the "right to regret", meaning you can cancel a wide array of contracts within 7 days. For example, when booking a hotel online, no matter the hotel's cancellation policies, you can cancel a reservation within 7 days of making it.
does this have the trained variant with the clean dataset used in this demo?
We're agreed that nearly everything has pros and cons.

But these confident assertions about what's "right" or "horrible" are subjective, personal preferences.

And unsubstantiated claims that they apply to "most devs" or "most people" is merely a projection. That contradicts my direct experience (I've never encountered a single team that adopted hooks and went back). Hooks' adoption rate (along w React's market share) suggest I'm not an outlier.

All that said, I'm glad TMTOWTDI. I also want to pause and thank you for sharing your perspective; dissent is valuable and helps prevent groupthink.

Have a great day!
The problem with Zapier is zaps are to expensive at scale.
I suppose that the Devil's Advocate sort of counterargument is that for many startups or businesses on the bubble of survival, their most important task is for paying customers to understand the basics of their software and get hooked with a paid subscription quickly. From that perspective, it's ok if customers don't absolutely LOVE the software in a year or two, as long as they like it just enough to be paying today.
It also can't actually start anything on its own. That is, it has no motivation, like an actual AGI would. Don't pollute that term also. An Artificial General Intelligence is something like Asimov's robots or R2D2, not search-on-steroids.
It's interesting because to me the idea of labeling these the way they are now, like "BROADCAST TV FEE" is in some ways, more clear and less of a "hidden fee" than bundling it in with the larger price and not saying why the price is, what it is.

What I do think is that the headline price - the deal, so to speak - should show the all-in full price including added fees, so if this gets us to that, I'm all for it.

I think the critical difference between US and EU here is that the regulators in EU who are supposed to protect people actually work to protect people.

The regulators who are supposed to protect people in the US work to set themselves up for their next job going to work at the companies they're currently regulating.
I was just thinking this, that it's kind of pathetic that they have to remind people that R&D takes time to pay off.
