Right, but you could easily end up writing a bunch of custom automation scripts and/or APIs around this, at which point (unless you really like DIYing stuff) you might better off with something like Soft-serve.

Yes, I know. But there's no way to know if these people are right, right now. That will only be possible to know in the future, looking back, so it's still "predicting the future".
China is going to throw Russia under the bus at the first opportunity. Russians are foolish to think that China will be their ally.

China just needs Russia's resources for now.
Sticking it in your own private datacenter would imply that you can opt in or out of using your data to train the next generation. ChatGPT does not dynamically train itself in realtime.
1) Is everything really being mined already? My sense is that another round of GPT-like training on YouTube, EdX and Coursera data + some other large video archives (BBC and the like) could still make quite a bit of difference. Text and images independently is one thing, having them together in context might be something else.

2) The available power seems to be growing pretty rapidly and dropping in prices. I think there are still quite some gains to be had from architectural optimizations (both in hardware and in models).

4) They were defined decades ago but I think they did actually seem to move us closer to AGI only recently.

You might be right, and there are definitely interesting times ahead! But I kind of doubt that we will have decades to sort out what we have and figure out its impact on society (which is a bit scary).
Yes. Romaka in Sanskrit literature is Egyptian Alexandria not Rome as one might think. It was the major port of trade between East and West during the Graeco-Roman era and an intellectual center thanks to the library. Indian philosophers were known to have been present there. (Though, again, we don’t precisely precisely know if they were Buddhists or some other sect.)

I am consistently confused by all of the talk about how "hard" Kubernetes is.

We spin up EKS. We install the newrelic and datadog log ingestion pods onto it, provided in a nice "helm" format.

We install a few other resources via helm, like external secrets, and external dns, and a few others.

Kubernetes EKS runs like a champ. My company saves 100k/mo by dynamically scaling our cloud services, all of which are running on Kubernetes, to more efficiently use compute classes.

My company has over 50 million unique users monthly. We have massive scale. Kubernetes just works for us and we only have 2 people maintaining it.

What we gain is a unified platform with a consistent API for developing our services. And if we wanted to migrate elsewhere, it is one less thing to worry about.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Feels like some kind of hipster instinct to dislike the "cool new thing"... even though k8 has been around for years now and has been battle tested to the bone.
Totally agree, this sounds awful
Are you referring to styled-components and the like? What is exactly the problem with that?*

Again, I'll ask, what's the complaint (in a ChatGPT-free world to go with your first comment) if someone provides implementations in only a handful of languages? What is your actual complaint or do you just enjoy making non-serious whining posts?
I think that will be the hard part of productionizing these models. Some domains absolutely need high reliability, like AVs, and applying these ML models is fraught because of how imprecise their outputs are. Problem domains where unreliable results are useful either through human mitigation (e.g. expert search engines, customer service chatbots) or because they're just not that reliable anyway (like image generation) will be the domains where these models will have sticking power.

"Error messages: diagnostic is preferable to prescriptive" [1] is a riff on a similar theme, though the author of that blog post is focusing on error messages for Microsoft's C# compiler, which are more likely to be intended for experienced professional developers, so he is coming at the problem from a different perspective than the student-focused one of the paper you mentioned.

In a semi-safe situation (e.g. on busy public transit or in a crowded place with people behind me), I do sometimes unlock my password manager using Face ID to access a website, but I'd never enter my passphrase if the biometric unlock fails.

If somebody watches me enter my passcode and then rips the device out of my hands and runs off with it (assuming the password manager is not open), they now have access to most of the content on my phone, but importantly not the parts protected by Face ID, which includes the password manager.

If I had used Apple's password manager instead, they'd be able to recover all passwords (using the tactics described above or simply enrolling their own face in Face ID, which is possible using only the passcode).
Sort-of, yes. But bank run makes it sound like something immoral or at least irrational. A bank that’s insolvent (has greater liabilities than assets) should expect and deserves a bank run.

The bad version of a bank run is when a bank is solvent but illiquid. It has a bunch of loans that are preforming and haven’t lost value due to interest rate changes, but there’s no easy way to sell them because they are just individual loan agreements between the bank and some borrowers.

But again, that’s not what happened here. The bank was in trouble because its assets were worth* less than it’s obligations.

* in the only sense of worth that matters
You are right, even if it only leads to this HN discussion, which provides us with a more nuanced view -- "Haven't looked at it that way" Thanks!

My most useful PWAs are local websites. City transport, government websites etc.

These sites never make their own native app because they cannot afford to maintain those apps.

Websites and PWAs are great and cheap compared to apps.

I think you've highlighted a big problem with SPAs in that they can encourage multiple API calls per user action. IMO, you should probably have a single endpoint per thing a user might do that might combine several conceptual APIs. i.e., if you have an API to add something to a list, have that API also return the current list.
In that case they might have picked the worst time to push through layoffs.

Where I live, Lyft seems absolutely gutted by Uber's pushes.

The Uber's Tesla rental program has been really popular, and it forces drivers to only drive Uber. In comparison to the past or parallel world where drivers have both apps on at the same time.

So now its all these nice cars, great advertisement for Teslas, less Lyft drivers, and Lyft will therefore surge price to double the cost of an Uber far easier.

This does seem like a death spiral, but Lyft still has some utility because I will still ask for a ride on both platforms and pick whichever one has a driver that comes soonest. Or like today where I will need two cars at the same time, I'm going to call an Uber for myself, and I'm going to call a Lyft for my date from her address to the same location. If only one of the apps let a single user have multiple rides happening in parallel, hint hint.
The biggest impact I've seen is that a lot of people are very angry at her for some reason.

AI Winter will likely come because we've not addressed climate change...instead of blowing billions / trillions on our survival, we're yet again blowing it on moonshots. We have the brains collectively, already to solve the problems should we want to, we don't because that's not where "the money" is.

Silicon Valley Tech is already promising that AI will be the likely solution to climate change..., if there is any more disruption to the economy it's just going to yet again slow down mitigation steps for climate change, thus having negative affects on the amount of capital available for these projects.

Printing money works, until it doesn't.
I think we're not that far from the day all movies will be produced by AI, including all parts in various languages using the most popular actors per given market, all accurately translated and of course perfectly synced since there would be no dubbing but creation on the fly. First they'll use virtual copies of real actors by purchasing rights from their estate, until the public will slowly accept full virtual and cheaper ones. I give them 20 years max, and I'm being optimistic (pessimistic?).
Are there a lot of Australians trying to send money to Russia? I always imagined crypto would work the other way around, people trying to send value _out_ of Russia.
If they win at the highest level, then at least we'll have clarity that format shifting from analog to digital is legal for library collections.

But the notion of "lending" ebooks seems about as meaningful as "lending" bits. What seems to happen in practice is that ebook bits are encrypted and transmitted to reading devices, and then some sort of onerous DRM system restricts the number of simultaneous readers.

If they lose at the highest level, perhaps it will provide some incentive for copyright law reform.
So... some compliance officer received information about terrorists allegedly using Binance and made a light hearted comment about it?

> Like Augustus a Roman emperor, was initiated into the mystery of two goddesses? What was that?

Probably normal mystery-religion/club shit. We'll do the secret rituals, teach you our secret signs, impart some secret knowledge. Ta-da, now you're a 10th degree freemason, master-elect—er, I mean, are initiated into the mysteries of Juno or whatever. There are surviving fairly-old mystery religions (in addition to the alluded-to imitators of that sort of tradition, like the freemasons). They tend to be really shit at proselytizing and to not do great in a globalizing world in competition with bigger religions that are good at gaining converts, so it's a dying breed of religion, but hardly a mystery (ha, ha). Between that and limited ancient accounts, we can make a decent guess at the general kind of thing Roman mystery cults were up to.

> Why Marcus Aurelius was so wise and unique?

Eh, he wrote a pretty-good book on an existing philosophy that he'd been taught. Not nothing, but not exactly revolutionary. Epictetus, Seneca, and others preceded him. Anyway, a lot of that book doesn't get quoted in tweets, because it's not-so-wise-seeming stoic physics, metaphysics, and religion/cosmology. It's just the pithy bits of ethics and right-living that people really like. Meanwhile, in a few hundred years, Rome produced, what, two emperors whose writing we still care about at all, with IIRC 3ish volumes between them that are still read by ~anyone? Again, not nothing, but also not that out-there.
It's great to have this kind of personal history written down, otherwise some of this stuff just gets lost forever.

Our first DVD player came with a copy of the first Harry Potter film on DVD, and it's still by far the fanciest DVD menu I've ever seen, with all sorts of features and hidden extras. It's clear that some serious effort went into showing off the new medium in those early days.
And then they could face death penalty for espionage if they leaked sensitive enough data. You would have to be really stupid to build such a service for government contractors unless you actually are a foreign spy.
> It doesn't go into large value decisions and projects in a meaningful way (pretty much like all AI) - that is the critical thing AI needs to get to

Large decisions such as SVB deposits are literally the last thing that will be given to AI, it's the most important part of the business. That doesn't mean AI is useless or is not being incorporated into valuable parts of businesses.

I'm at a large tech company, LLMs are already entering some of our key product workflows. It massively lowers the floor for a number of product features e.g. recommendation systems.

In a more general sense, many features that were previously too difficult to expose (e.g. simple coding commands) to business users are now on the table as long as we give them limited access to an LLM. The current hype train means that we don't even need to do much user education.

Everything is a Remix (Complete Updated 2023 Edition) [video]
I wouldn't say big tech was "trounced" by OpenAI. Advances in LLMs are driven by the research community. OpenAI is a small, well-resourced organization with the sole purpose of quickly deploying and hyping state of the art AI models. Big tech naturally has a slower product development cycle - and will make full use of LLMs in due time.
Well, it can be more or less backed by facts. That's the difficult part: making the difference between what seems like a reasonable prediction and what is merely a belief.

Climate change is coming at us. That's still a prediction (it hasn't happened yet), but not believing in it right now is irrational and dangerous.

I don't think we can say that for AI. That AI will change the world is a belief. Doesn't mean that it won't.

Next up: sound leveling?
Some of these are good arguments and can turn out to be true. But they are equally likely to be false.

1/ We humans are still generating data. To live is to generate data and while it is dystopian to think about how these data can be harvested, it is still possible to get more information to feed the next gen AIs. And remember that right now, we have only used text and images. Videos, audio, sensory inputs (touch, smell, taste, etc), and even human's brainwaves are still available as more training data. We are nowhere close to running out of stuff to teach AIs yet.

2/ Fine tuning and optimizing training has shown tremendous effects in reducing the size of these LLMs. We already have LLMs running on laptops and mobile phones! With reasonable performance and in only half a year from the big release. There is lots of room to grow here.

3/ My nieces laughed when I told them TikTok is too invasive. Most people outside of HN does not care about data privacy as much as you might think.

4/Sometimes it only takes 1 big breakthrough to open the floodgate. Transistors was that point for computers and we are still developing new techs based on that 100 years old invention. We don't know how much potential there is in these decades old AI invention especially when many of them was only put into proper practice the last decade. We didn't learn the big mistake until very recently after all.

Just some ways things can go differently. It is the future, we can't really predict it. Maybe an AI can...

It's desperation. Americans are lacking the desperation necessary to endure unnatural commutes and spaces. What these 'people' want are more desperate workers.
Does US intelligence have access to OpenAI data? Private organizations is one thing. But with all the dopes in government positions around the world, OpenAI logs would probably be a treasure trove for intelligence gathering.
>4) The basic theory that got us to the current AI crop was defined decades ago and no new workable theories have been put forth that will move us closer to an AGI.

I guess it really depends on what you mean by "basic theory" but my view is that the framework that got us to our current crop of models (vision now too, not just LLMs) is much more recent, namely transformers circa 2017. If you're talking about artificial neural networks, in general, maybe. ANNs are really just another framework for a probabilistic model that is numerically optimized (albeit inspired by biological processes) so I don't know where to draw the line for what defines the basic theory...I hope you don't mean backprop either as the chain rule is pretty old too.
I see no lack of high-quality data, although it may not be the kind you prefer. How about the telephone/chat/internet logs (not "metadata") of every single person in the USA? We've got it! And how about using that to answer social science questions and, more immediately, political questions such as:

- What really happens in corporate/government/private decision-making?

- Did a particular politician really trade his vote for money? How was that done?

- Are elected judges better/more honest than appointed judges?

- Are there hidden organizations within particular governmental entities? e.g., a right-leaning group within the FBI who secretly persecutes persons/groups of other political persuasions? Are there independent entities within the CIA that are capable of financing and operating on their own under the umbrella of the government but also capable of evading the congressional oversight specified in the Constitution?

- Is my wife's cousin really screwing Hunter Biden again?

I have to admit I don't use 1Blocker for YouTube ads. I use Vinegar, which isn't strictly speaking an ad blocker - what it does is replace the custom YT player with a native platform player (i.e. regular controls you get with a plain <video> element)...

this has the side-effect of removing all Youtube ads, and you get familiar controls for the video player.
