While I largely agree, it could be argued that banks engaging in risky behaviour might attract depositors with higher interest rates than a more responsible bank.

If depositors know that their money is fully covered, you incentivise them to move their money from responsible banks to irresponsible ones. It's easy to imagine a knock-on effect where responsible banks are incentivised to behave less so in order to retain custom, with the whole system becoming more fragile as a result.
IBM has more employees than Google. It might only make a quarter of Google's revenue, but that's still a lot of money. That's a big zombie.
The thing is that we've known how to do reasoning with computers since the 1960's at least. Here:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/321250.321253

That's the paper introducing the Resolution principle, which is a sound and complete system of deductive inference, with a single inference rule simple enough that a computer can run it.

The paper is from 1965. AI research had reasoning down pat since the 1970's at least. Modern systems have made progress in modelling and prediction, but lost the ability to reason in the progress.

Yeah, we totally "scienced that shit" as you say in a comment below. And then there was an AI winter and we threw the science out because there wasn't funding for it. And now we got language models that can't do reasoning because all the funding comes from big tech corps that don't give a shit about sciencing anything but their bottom line.
"A little bit of oxygen is not going to be something that is much of a concern relative to that."

It is a concern, exactly because there are so many other hot and dangerous things around in steel production. Blow some oxygen on a fire and see what happens...
Can I ask if you have a prompt that you use for this?
Companies like SiFive are claiming they are beating the ARM cores in terms of area (and power) and they are quickly marching up the performance scale.

The software isn't ready and they are primarily not looking at smartphones yet.

It will take a few more years until we get there, but once the software is ready you will have lots of companies competing.

Somewhere between the size of C and C++ probably.
That's a pretty powerful axiom. I wonder how applicable it is to life in general.

One of the best things and worst things about America is the first amendment. It is amazing that you can say or make just about anything without the government jailing you or shutting you down.

It feels horrible because that freedom necessitates people who believe everyone else has the same ability to say or make anything they want, even if you find that stuff disgusting or risky.

Yes, there are definitely some limits to the right. But we should be cautious about the government making laws to restrict the right.

Should we ban an entire company or force them to sell as soon as we believe they give personal data to another country? Where is the line drawn at which country? What about a Russian based app or a Belarusian based app?

I'm not saying it's wrong, it just makes me nervous.

> We are building network which helps people to communicate and share information without restrictions.

https://i2pd.website/

I2P is neither “for” nor “not for” piracy. I2P is for protecting communications and data from any kind of censorship.

Filtering copyright violating content is a type of censorship. To some it is justified. To others it is not.

To a network protocol like I2P the point is that no kind of censorship should be possible. Regardless of reason.
Actually cost is why companies are doing research into things like this. Carbon emissions are a problem for heavy industries in the sense that it will raise their cost and this is something they have to address mid to long term.

Meanwhile electricity prices are not a constant and trending down. It might be too expensive now but at some point it might actually become the cheaper option if cost continues to drop. Also, large energy users, like steel plants, would probably end up investing in their own energy generation. Wind, solar, maybe even nuclear. That turns electricity from a variable cost into a fixed cost for them. So, it's not as clear cut that electrifying their processes is long term more expensive. It might actually turn around and become the cheaper option. Carbon taxes of course might make this attractive sooner.

But even if it were more expensive, another reason for investing in de-carbonizing steel would be that there is actually a growing demand for companies to source their materials from companies that have lower carbon emissions. Steel is used by a lot of companies and those companies too are looking to clean up their supply lines.

And of course because some companies are researching and trying different options here, other companies now need to worry about having a plan when their competitors start producing cleaner and cheaper steel.

All good reasons for companies to be investing in this now rather than in 30 years.
If they don’t label generated text as such, the value of the search results will be compromised. All non-ads will be assumed to be generated without inspection, making ads the most “reliable” results. This should hasten shifts in the user base to non generated alternatives.
> How Big Should a Programming Language Be?

As big as it needs to be and no bigger.

A programming language is almost always built for a purpose - to solve a problem or fit into a certain domain. We've all seen the needless complexities in programming languages that accrete new features, year after year, just to have new features.
For me it's Civ III. I love the more graphical details but still non-3D aesthetic.
I want even aware it had good multi language support. I will use it for language practice
No. 1. China's constitution protects free speech. Rendering many 'laws' unconstitutional. This may be too philosophical, so there is 2. Many 'laws' are intentionally vague so their application can be as arbitrary as possible: anything can 'disturb public order' or 'violate social morale'. Who's to decide? Of course it's the Party, not the law. 3. If you look carefully, even those catch-all regulations aren't there in many cases. Chen Yun, one of the Deng Xiaoping-era elders famously argued against making a News Law, saying "When the KMT was in power, we [the Communists] studied their news laws very carefully and exploited loopholes. Now that we're in power, it's better there is no law at all." In China, laws are "made strictly, violated widely, and enforced selectively." This is the real world Constitution.
ChatGPT is giving answers that we have already given - all over the web, on specialty sites like StackOverflow etc. - possibly with some adaptation and combination. So, I prefer to contribute - both questions and answers - to public venues rather than huddle with the AI.

Also, I'm not willing to register with OpenAI, let them keep my interaction records etc.
I already use Ecosia for most of my searches because Google just forces so much useless knowledge cards and buries search results.

Well tech and banking are clearly eclipsed by the US. And much of Canada has no transportation infrastructure. Are you sure you’re not comparing select Canadian cities to select American cities?
First: it is ibm. Second: what is wrong with Canonical that they seem hellbent on destroying IBM? What is wrong with Torvalds that he seems hellbent on destroying Sun Microsystems, and IBM?
That paper doesn't discuss GPT-4 at all. It does however contain this interesting excerpt (emphasis mine):

> Although we may observe an emergent ability to occur at a certain scale, it is possible that the ability could be later achieved at a smaller scale—in other words, model scale is not the singular factor for unlocking an emergent ability. As the science of training large language models progresses, certain abilities may be
unlocked for smaller models with new architectures, higher-quality data, or improved training procedures. For example, there are 14 BIG-Bench tasks5 for which LaMDA 137B and GPT-3 175B models perform at near-random, but PaLM 62B in fact achieves above-random performance, despite having fewer model parameters and training FLOPs.

So it's not obvious that it should be so straightforward.

The relative prevalence is irrelevant. The claim was about shootings by felons on parole preferring to be killed by police rather than going back to jail. That claim was used to support the hypothesis that jails are horrible. The claim was not A is more common than B.
Ultra-fast random number generator uses quantum fluctuations
I agree, and I think people are missing the point. The value of comments is to tell the reader things they can't get from reading the code, details of why the author did what they did. ChatGPT commenting its own code as it writes it makes sense, ChatGPT commenting others' code (or its own without context) is inherently guesstimating.
Every country has a single regulatory framework. Unfortunately for China 1 person can completely rewrite it.

China has a larger domestic market. The downside is the domestic market is still relatively poor and its state controlled by a uniparty government. When tough decisions need to be made, the CCP will protect the CCP over China.
While I know that has happened in some places, it is illegal, and with a spouse who has worked in that industry for many years I can definitely say that the normal practice is that tips that are paid by credit card are paid to the server.

I've played two games in my life with a similar fervor, Civ2 was one, the other was Factorio. Historians will remember these games.
What happens when the seedbox company is raided and their lists of customers and other data is confiscated?

A seedbox is a temporary protection. In the long term it is still a very real possibility that the customers of seedbox companies can get in trouble for their acts of piracy.

Several VPN companies who claimed to keep no logs, were actually keeping logs. https://www.pcmag.com/news/7-vpn-services-found-recording-us...

So too it will turn out that some seedbox companies will have been keeping records about their customers and their activities. For those customers, it will not be a happy day.
> Why would GDP(a lagging indicator) and a current event(a wave of banks over the last two week) be mutually exclusive?

Exactly. Jeff Snyder pointed out that folks were puzzled over this exact thing in the 08-09 timeframe. And in fact, Janet Yellen talked about why it wasn’t a contradiction. She seems to have forgotten her own analysis, though.
I am not the poster, but the comparison with sandstorm leads me to believe that they meant sercurity as in service isolation, e.g. running potentially unstrusted services in one system.

IIUC yunohost correctly they help to deploy and manage services in a more traditional way and assume that each service is trusted and they aren't that rigerously isolated from each other.
Not at all. Moore himself has been recognized and celebrated for decades.

But many other such figures achieved 'legendary' status while they were very much alive and in their prime: Edison, Ford, Bell, Wright Bros, Disney, Carnegie, Einstein, Oppenheimer, etc.

Moore himself was a member of an elite crew and one of Shockley's (the inventor of the transistor) "Traitorous Eight" which spun out from their former mentor to join Fairchild Semiconductor before all of them spun out from that enterprise to found their own companies and in the process create Silicon Valley proper.
Do you find civ 5 way more complex than the original civs? I always try to pick up the newer ones and I’m always struck by how incredibly complex they’ve become. Civ 1/2 you could basically be on top of everything but cob 5 seems like an impossible task.
Compilers and Compiler Generators an introduction with C++
Civ6 took some time for me to get into. Changes to perspective and building bothered me quite a bit at first. Once I got the hang of the new systems, I didn’t mind those changes but the game felt shallower until the expansions started coming out. Those brought it up to par for me. I would still say 2, 3, and 4 were the best.
> The biggest problem I've noticed is they don't seem able to filter out those shitty auto-generated spam sites for comparisons or top 10 lists

That boggles my mind as well. Google already knows which media are actually relevant as a source. For example, if I want good reviews for electronics products, I'd go for Heise and Golem, for everything else Stiftung Warentest. Google could easily compile a list of reputable media for each country and prioritize these, but they don't - I suspect because they enjoy all that sweet sweet ad money coming in from blogspam sites and less-reputable media.
Are you basing this on real knowledge or a guess？

My understanding, from when I lightly researched Japan Steel as a stock, was that car makers want fresh steel with higher guaranteed performance. Thus they can use less steel and reduce weight.

Since vehicles are mobile the reduced weight will have a much bigger carbon reduction than from using recycled steel.
My experience has been the opposite on subjective questions. I was kicking around a few startup ideas so I fed it my goals and a description of each idea. It was decent at qualifying each idea against the goals I had stated. Certainly not going to run with the results as is, but as an input I found it to be helpful.
Having seem some Bard replies, I am not sure if it even has a point. It seems significantly worse than BingGPT (which is the real competition I guess). BingGPT is even available much more generally.

If Google is not willing to compete on the LLM front in public products, what are their options? Yes search is not gonna lose margins anytime soon, but it doesn't seem like they have any path to another successful product or protect search from disruption.
Oh god, electron apps have terrible performance. The apps do not run smooth by any metric.

Even static pages over the internet is faster than spotify/slack locally.
That's a real hard question, but a much easier question is "Which Civ game had the best opening music?" Which is obviously Civ 4 with that absolute banger, Baba Yetu. I still get chills when I hear it.

So while my memories of each Civ game may not be terribly strong, I think I've probably played the most hours of 4, and again, that song. I think that's where my vote has to go.
You mean the "full accountability" in recent mass layoff notices ? =/
If you share your prompts then we could help. The most generally applicable thing I can think of is that you have to drop your old habits from using search engines, those types of queries will not get you very far. You have to talk to it like you would talk to someone in your company Slack/Teams/whatever chat and explain what it is you're trying to do and what tools you want to use to do it. Then ask it to refine its answer by telling it what it got wrong or clarifying the request you made by adding more details. Also, always keep in mind that it is fundamentally a text completion engine. You can drastically alter the type of output you get by adding relative context up front. That can be anything from snippets of code to requests for it to write in the style of some famous person to even just a chunk of your own writing so it can get an idea of the style that you use.
Sure it is, just like docker, the code might be free , but there’s plenty of enterprise support contracts.

I imagine a lawyer could convince a jury of people who have never heard of hacker news, gnu, etc that this is true.
A question to the adept in the filed. Isn't that expected? These models are trained by making them guess the next word given a sequence of words. This means that are not modeling causal relationships between the given context (the prompt) and the answer they output. And I believe for solving new problems making these kinds of causal connection is necessary. So, the fact they can actually do better than nothing does it mean that they have a very basic notion of causality or just that human predicting the next word from human content is a poor proxy for such kind of causal relationships?
Because not everyone will have access to LLM technology, and even if they do, your project might not always be used in a setting where access is technically feasible.
I have Factorio on Steam, but I have yet to give it more than a cursory play. What is the draw for you (if you don’t mind elaborating)?
> Capitalism is based around bad decisions being punished

What constitutes a bad decision in your view?

My perspective is that Capitalism actively encourages and rewards the kind of behaviour most would consider to be morally and ethically bankrupt. The simplest example would be monopolising control of a limited but necessary resource, thereby granting you what is effectively absolute power over those who need it. Think oxygen supply on a moon base or fresh water on deserted island.

Take cigarette companies also. The "good" decision under capitalism was for them to knowingly deceive society on the health risks of their product. All so they could continue to profit.
I don't what you are on about. The chart figures I linked is sourced from the monthly CPI rate shared by BLS every month.

You are obviously trolling at this point.
If a product brand looks like DAFINJA, it’s a pretty good bet it’s cheap junk. So don’t buy that stuff? Amazon sucks at filtering this shit out though. I don’t want to have to scroll through pages of UTREVUY and MAIVIHP brands to find some hidden non-shit item.
No, because no jury was involved.
I suspect lines of code and number of developers are strongly enough correlated that it's hard to get any additional predictive power from the latter!
I am not intending to tip the dishwashers when leaving a tip, I am tipping the wait staff

Of course you wouldn't want to have gratuity flow to the lowest paid of the staff, which has the most sweat enducing, filthy, labourish job in the place. They're probably an immigrant too, so screw em, right?

(The above response is due to you singling out the dishwasher, instead of, say, the chef, or everyone).

First, in Canada (unlike the US), everyone is paid a wage. Tipping amounts are different too, as a result.

However, tip sharing is not a new thing. I was part of it in the early 80s, in Canada, and it has nothing to do with the latest "tip me for just doing my job" culture.

Tip sharing properly reflects the wholeness of the job, not just the singularity of the waiting staff.

And while it is reasonable for you to have a different opinion on tip sharing being good or not, this does not change the fact that if you work a job with tip sharing, pocketing tips is theft.

I bet it's OK for all the other waiters to tip share, but then one waiter steal tips from the pool too?

Even with today's "the owner has money, slack off! Steal from them! Work as little as possible!" trend, this is taking money from hard working co-workers!.

It is theft.
This is such an extraordinary claim. That this technology arms race the like of which we’ve possibly never seen before is somehow going to end at GPT-4 because ‘we’ve run out of training data’. Do you think the entire research staff at OpenAI is just there to figure out how to scale up transformers?
Based on what participants said afterwards, some people would reach into pocket forgetting that their phone wasn't in it. I'm guessing people would also forget they aren't supposed to be playing with their phone if there weren't some hindrance.

> Intellectual property is an unnatural, made up construct

So is a "right to life" in a world where nature is red in tooth and claw, but it is an extremely useful unnatural, made-up construct.
