GPT-4 saving the life of a dog by helping with medical diagnosis
As risky as any other health related self help, plus the added risk of unreliability.

When GPT proves itself to be reliably beneficial, then therapists will use it or recommend it themselves. Until then it’s an experimental tool at best.
Yeah, I’m all against gatekeeping too. If I called myself a scientist and I didn’t have a degree (yet) would I still be recognized as a scientist? That’s all I’m saying. So long as you identify as one and pursue it, you’ll become one. If you do the courses and earn it then welcome to the fold. I am not about to call myself an astrophysicist simply because I have an affinity for space and know the classifications of stars. That’s my point.
`except*` seems hard to search for and easy to confuse with `except`, raising some ambiguity about what you meant, here.
Infinite, we focus on the dimensions we find simple to identify, what our attention heads focus on, but in Reality, there is infinite details we could define everything by, each vector in the high dimensional latent space of everything is a product of every other vector. The more life advances, the more vectors are added, a constant state of morphing/compressing takes place, we discover new shit out of our existing shit, then we compress 'em into one big pile of shit that becomes a dimension of each own. Regarding your second question, depends on what u mean by creatures, just like us ? probably not, impossibley unlikely to have creatures that went through the exact same evolutionary trip, However, I want to assure you the in the near future you will be interacting with an infinite number of creatures in ur life , since it's all in our heads, FUture AI creatures will find their markets, if they are just able to fit in the dance of the psyche
An automatic rifle is a "machine gun". Hunters, by and large, don't hunt pigs with machine guns.

The term you seek is semi-automatic rifle, which is a rifle firing one shot with each trigger press. These are what hunters use.

In North America some persons are allowed to use machine guns to shoot pigs. But doing so is a challenge from both an efficiency and a safety standpoint:

Except among mass killers, the machine gun is hardly the tool of choice for hunting (any animal including humans).
>The central bank has very little power over the economy actually.

I disagree. Any organization that can unilaterally set interest rates and add infinite assets to its balance sheet (two actions capable of moving the largest markets significantly) has tremendous amounts of control over the economy.

The vast majority of people are just unaware how much of an impact monetary policy has on their behavior.

My understanding of LLMs is sub-par at best, could someone explain where the randomness comes from in the event that the model temperature is 0?

I guess I was imagining that if temperature was 0, and the model was not being continuously trained, the weights wouldn’t change, and the output would be deterministic.

Is this a feature of LLMs more generally or has OpenAI more specifically introduced some other degree of randomness in their models?

I feel it important to point out that most to all such links as in the original article are in the very early stages of being investigated. And no personal or medical consequences should be drawn from that, and a lot of caution should be exercised.
Layoffs in large firms are typically handled in complete secrecy by third-party consultants, and 'loyalty' isn't an input they plug into their formulas.

The decisionmakers that, at the end of the day, approve the recommendations of the consultants are usually incredibly removed from any actual work that gets done. I'm talking about people with 300+ reports. They have no fucking idea whether or not you are 'loyal'.

The people who have an idea of that find out that you got laid off at the same time that you do.

Likewise, when an entire department gets gutted (with no internal transfers available), nobody with any influence over that decision is going to care that you were busting your ass for the firm's bottom line every Saturday.
Ask HN: John Cook et al., 2013 a climate propaganda piece?
The study[0] popularized the "97% consensus" that 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are the main contributing factor to the observed global warming.

As far as I can tell, that 97% number includes those scientists who think humans contribute more than zero.

So a more honest conclusion would have been: 97% of climate scientists agree that humans have a non-zero impact on the global warming.

But they warped this into: 97% agree we are the main contributing factor.

This particular study is wildly misleading and borders on scientific misconduct?

What Hifi Sounds Like
Everywhere and nowhere it can be 30 minutes. Every competent ER on the planet triages patients. Come in with crushing chest pains and it should be 30 minutes everywhere 99% of the time. Broken arm? You might wait hours if people keep coming in with crushing chest pains.

"Wait" can be defined very differently. Wait time to get triaged by a nurse? An ECG for chest pains? Initial physician assessment? Entry-to-exit? Lab results? Time to X-Ray if needed?

Lots of directives may be in place too. In an efficient system, the nurse is empowered to "order" many procedures that screen out serious things that require immediate physician intervention. Or just to save time like ordering an X-Ray first instead of waiting to see a doctor to order it and then waiting again for it to come back to review.

You said "There's not a person on the planet that would benefit".

That's not speaking in general, that's being absolutist. That's why I was responding to your blanket statement.

But now we're on the same page, that people have different dietary needs.

People often tend to speak in absolutes when it comes up diet, and people can often feel judged by that, so I think it's important to always remember that there's a lot of diversity regarding the nutrition people need, which is why counterexamples can be important.
Plugins are coming, and wrappers are still having to pay openAI and on top of that their own slice of the pie. Since wrappers aren't really cultivating the information themselves, nothing is stopping you from making your own either, the openAI API isn't a big difficult secret. You can even ask openAI to write your own integration for you!

You can probably also ask openAI about the nextjs/tailwind starter repo everyone of these wrappers keep relying on too.

Insurance claims are submitted to insurers after providers have already performed the care.
I agree, an important component though is that insurance premiums are pretax, so you’d need to expand HSAs to be large enough to pay insurance premiums.

In order to be able to make use of the code produced by AI - be it review, validate, fix, integrate or iterate - operator needs to ultimately be better than AI at making software. (Unless we abandon the idea of understanding what exactly software we are running does)

The question then is how exactly does one become better than AI at making software if no one is going to pay you to make software until you are better than AI?

The same issue with art - we need a sea of mediocre artists and a market for their work for great artists to emerge. AI takes over mediocre art market - all commercially driven art disappears.
Could be better to permute the neurons and weight matrices in such a way as to obtain the exact same network (an isomorphic graph).
This looks very nice — a great improvement over existing search engines for docs. It’d be great if it could also scan restructuredText and Asciidoc docs repos.
How about GPT Neo? is it a valid alternative for some applications considering its much smaller training set?

With so many crypto mining rigs left to rust around the planet one would think this could be a good cause to put them back to work.
It was definitely a learning experience. If you're in the hospital under a doctor's care it's a lot easier, but if you have major (expensive) preventative care, then the insurers want to discourage or delay that as long as possible.
AI Tools in Coding: Progress or Just Optimization of the Status Quo?

I have two kinds of people I mentally target when I write documentation: a 6 year old child with an abnormally long attention span, and a grumpy, rude 60 year-old mechanical engineer who isn't quite old enough at the time to skate to retirement before having to learn the thing I'm documenting.

Writing for a child forces me to keep the words and concepts very, very simple, and to write in a style that builds up usage of the program from first principles. Writing for the grumpy old-timer is a practice in minimizing questions from them, forcing me to do a sort of final pass on the overall design of what I'm writing about, to defend design choices, and to add future improvements to the backlog. Drafting the documentation for semi-finished features that are still in progress has sometimes led me to change the design in order to make writing the docs targeting these two people simpler.

I am fully insured in the United States. An appointment with my primary for something urgent is typically a week out, if I can't wait a week I am advised to go to an emergency room. An appointment with a specialist, if I can get one, is typically six months out. An average emergency room visit is typically a three hour wait to be triaged, additional multiple hours to talk to someone about my condition.

Quantum Archaeology: The Quest to 3D-Bioprint Every Dead Person Back to Life
I somewhat get why you'd build such a system when on the other side you've got pharma and labs pulling for useless medication and tests through doctor presents and "seminars". What's beyond me* is how health insurances get to be the deciding entity when there's such a blatant conflict of interest in the matter, which gets abused as it is here demonstrated.

If you get a home insurance claim, at least here in Canada the insurance company has to use an external adjuster. Even though it's not perfect, it seems a widely better solution to handling claims.

* it's not beyond me, it's probably just the result of lobbying
i'm not the person you replied to, but i'm guessing maybe they'd have preferred:

"We took ChatGPT offline earlier this week due to a bug in an external library which allowed some users to see titles from another active user’s chat history."
Well, the question of coups hasn't come up so far in the conversation but I am happy to claim that. They're media companies, and as we've learned from the history of journalism media companies do tend to put their finger on the scale when it comes to elections. There isn't really a question of whether US social media companies are actively influencing elections after the so-called Twitter Files and although there hasn't been a scandal involving the intelligence agencies influencing foreign elections yet.

But it is coming. We know the US regularly heads out to topple foreign governments. It just isn't plausible that they'd ignore the influence of US social media companies when they do that. Certainly I think India and the EU would have to be a bit crazy to give Facebook & friends free access to their population. I expect there is a faction at Google who have Modi voodoo dolls on hand.

> It's clearly not.

I have no doubt it is clear to you, but the term for that is 'bias'. If you are in a Western country, you're probably safer with TikTok because it is less influential than the US media companies and the Chinese spying and renditioning apparatus is less sophisticated. China are also much more passive (not exactly by choice, it must be said) and won't use the data for targeting missile strikes on your military leaders.
And yet, you will then adopt the identity of a person who doesn’t limit themselves with titles and identities. It’s a bit of a paradox but it works with how our brains operate: we use heuristics to understand the world. So labels will be applied by your brain one way or the other, and you will either consciously or subconsciously adopt or reject those labels, no matter what your chosen philosophy on the matter is.
That's awesome! I work over at ESnet (located w/ LBNL) and got to interact with some folks over at SRS. Y'all are cool bunch :)

ERs, even in US, will triage patients by need, not quality/quantity of insurance. If they're seeing insured ankle sprains before uninsured strokes/heart attacks, they're going to get sued to dust.
That is essentially going out of your way. It's like forgetting why you were using THT and perfboard in the first place. Maybe not technically, because sure you could have a stock of common adapter blanks already on hand, allowing you to build right now, which was the point, but it's getting very close to blowing that point if you're using smt parts on adapter pcbs on tht perf boards.

I guess it's still practical while still developing on solderless protoboards.
I also recently updated the Mac install docs for Portacle for anyone looking for anyone looking to tinker with CL on newer Macs! https://portacle.github.io/
There are a lot of problems here though. First of all being that inferencing isn't hard to do - iPhones were capable of running LLMs before LLaMa and even before it was accelerated. Anyone can inference a model if they have enough memory, I think Nvidia is banking on that part.

Then there's the issue of model size. You can fit some pruned models on an iPhone, but it's safe to say the majority of research and development is going to happen on easily provisionable hardware running something standard like Linux or FreeBSD.

And all this is ignoring the little things, too; training will still happen in-server, and the CDN required to distribute these models to a hundred million iPhone users is not priced attractively. I stand by what I said - Apple forced themselves into a different lane, and now Nvidia is taking advantage of it. Unless they intend to reverse their stance on FOSS and patch up their burned bridges with the community, Apple will get booted out of the datacenter like they did with Xserve.

I'm not against a decent Nvidia competitor (AMD is amazing) but the game is on lock right now. It would take a fundamental shift in computing to unseat them, and AI is the shift Nvidia's prepared for.

The sneaky thing to do is have your attorney send a letter to the insurance carrier's liability insurance provider, detailing everything you uncover and that they will be on the hook for the malpractice claim. That will get you an highly aggressive advocate with teeth.
This is the future of self support. Instead of those shitty chat bot state machines that only offer the same FAQ you just searched through, it now can infer all your company documentation to your users (external facing of course) so that they can find exactly what they are looking for.

Your company’s fizzbuzz wizbang-SNAPSHOT-bim.bam.boom.jar docs would actually make sense to humans and your engineers will no longer have to be in customer meetings!
