I think the most interesting response I've gotten was one where gpt-4 noticed halfway through a response that it had made an error, apologized and then put the corrected sentence. When I queried it, it claimed it generates the response a token at a time, and could not back up when it realized the message was incorrect, but I don't know enough about how the tech works to ascertain the veracity of the statement.

Guess where many, many Chinese millionaires have been moving the last 10 years or so?

Anywhere but China. It is a failing state with a plummeting economy and subject to even more arbitrary control over the money, its citizens own than the USA.

On the other hand, $4500 is nearly 3 months of income for quite a few people, pre-tax. ($10/hour, 40 hours a week for 3 months is $4800). And it isn't like you are going to be able to save much at those wages.

In other words, a significant amount of Americans have little-to-no money saved.
I've done this years ago and it's been great. The only push notifications I have left are text/whatsapp.

It is for a lot though. You can buy a kilogram of rice (or even larger amounts, price didn't move at all in Northern Germany), or you can buy the 2-minute-microwave-stuff (price did move). You can buy 2kg of potatoes for the price of 750g french fries. You can buy soup ingredients or you can buy canned soup etc etc.

Why do you think economies of scale wouldn't happen at the potato-selling business? Are they buying and selling individual potatoes?

I ask this earnestly, but have you tried it? It most certainly can write a pretty huge variety of code. Yes, it does often have errors, and it struggles with novel or complex problems (as the article points out), but for well known languages and frameworks it is still insanely impressive.
The API calls to GPT3 can be trivially replaced with API calls to ChatGPT (GPT-3.5-turbo) or GPT-4. Take a look at the LangChain and OpenAI docs on how to do that.

China is not, of course, turning back to proper communism. It is a wildly corrupt dictatorship, and will be for the foreseeable future. It was an oligarchy for many generations (traditionally, their central committee was allowed to preserve opposing opinions among factions, a practice Xi extinguished), but Xi has definitely removed the vast majority of his competent opponents.
What I got out of this is that my next job interview I will be harassing every person to know every detail about their workflow and views on how to organize.

Well, it's a typical dish in a Northwestern Spanish region, in Galicia, near Portugal. And as Galicia and Portugal share lots of culture, I think might eat octopi, too. Hard to tell to some people. Also, we are used to eat rabbits, too; something an American would see hard to understand, but I think the wild USA people eats lots of animals uncommon to us too. Maybe deers or something like that.

Is there a tutorial you followed before to train your own model?
No mean to insult, but this is a bit of an “in the spectrum” reply. I’m not claiming guillotines are being erected on public squares, of course it’s not the case. On the other hand, the aggressive nitpick and overzealous strawmanning of anyone not carefully following te political doctrine is quite similar. Is it too difficult to see or are you also acting in bad faith?

This demonstrates that the tech is near to being usable at scale.

The thing that doesn't add up is the price... While coal is still usable as an energy source for making steel, it doesn't make sense to use electricity.

And if one country outlaws using coal for steelmaking, then steelmakers will just move to another country - steelmaking is ferociously competitive, and lots of countries subsidise steelmaking because it is strategically important.

This tech will remain on the sidelines for 'green' projects only until there is some kind of worldwide carbon tax/cap/quota system.
React Native and Maestro: how to do UI testing
Hello!

This is a small personal project I mainly created for fun and to develop my mobile UI testing skills. I would like to share it with you, if you are interested in it. This project shows how to make UI testing with React Native (A framework to create native apps for Android and iOS) and Maestro (A mobile UI testing framework).

https://github.com/kiki-le-singe/react-native-maestro

I hope it would be helpful for someone :)

Have a good day!

Enjoy it! :)
some prompts results are only explainable if chatgpt has the ability to produce some kind of reasoning.

As for your analogy, I'm not sure we know enough about human intelligence core mechanisms to be able to dismiss NN as being fundamentally incapable of it.
Follow up question, how come discussions like this rarely mention virtual assistants like Siri/Alexa/etc?

So many use cases overlap, there’s potential for improvements but Siri still struggles to understand context and gpt has no way to access my calendar (at least in a way that I’d like). I guess this will change fast?
I2PD is not for piracy but to contact people in dangerous places.
Robert Reich and Elizabeth Warren have massive partisan and ideological axes to grind, and their careers basically rely on convincing people that it's all the fault of big businesses convincing the government to lift regulations and that they could fix all of this if voters only gave them and their side the power.
“It works when engineers and management are both highly skilled” is hardly a glowing recommendation for a management process. Only a management system so bad that it is tantamount to sabotage would not work when everyone involved is highly skilled. The most productive management system I ever operated under was “the founder DMs ‘how’s it going’ whenever he remembers to” and that worked great because we were all skilled too.

One can imagine a 2x2 grid like so:

good mgmt bad mgmt

good anything eng is
eng works sad

bad mgmt is nothing
eng sad works

Particular management styles don’t really matter in the top left or bottom right square. The most salient criticism of Agile from this perspective is that in the top right square it multiplies bad management’s capacity to make good engineering sad.
Stating that tax cuts are inflationary assumes that the government is able to put the money to better use than individuals. Have in mind that when the government taxes your money, it also spends it - but instead of spending in productive pursuits, it often spends it in a way that doesn't lead to increase production and, thus, inflation.
It is crazy US takes so long still not banning TikTok.
Anyone think Chinese Communist Party has nothing to do with ByteDance, TikTok are stupid and naive, and if you believe a single word the Chinese Communist Party is even more stupid.

Look at Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram, even TikTok and many more tech companies are banned in China, what on Earth are the Americans' thinking? You guys are holy saints to think "with our open door policy will one day China be democratic and liberal like us" ?

Probably the Xi JingPing and his comrades are laughing at the Americans while watching the hearing, especially the congress member for discussing things so trivial while they would have probably already doing Machine Learning with the TikTok users.

Just ban TikTok, what takes you guys so long?
You guys are not playing the same game as CCP, U.S.A being out-gamed not because not power but the speed on dealing with CCP.

Either way, IP is going to either accept defeat or get very very loose in its claims, as the ability is almost here to just process a feature-length film, slightly modify each scene and replace script, camera angles, environments and actors with generic IP-free amalgamations, all while still capturing the tone and story... Images/text/code are already done for. Who's going to enforce that, and how much similarity do you need to infringe? Who's going to prove you processed that film when nothing about your movie is quite the same?

We don’t actually know what “thinking” is, though, so I’m not sure it’s possible to say “this model can’t think”.
Changing collections of files, not changing files. Let's say you have a collection of 1000 books. You get two more and publish a collection of 1002 books. With torrent, you'd have a completely separate download. With ipfs all previous users can now share the existing files as part of the new collection without doing anything special.
So, should this be extended to all workers? And all places that people might spend leisure time? Let's say restaurants and bars, cinemas, public swimming pools, markets, amusement parks.

As those people should have same exact rights to spend leisure time with their families and friends.
I must say, this post was very well written.

Touche.

I get the impression that the author isn't a native speaker. And as you yourself demonstrate, these things are hard for the best of us.

Ultimately though they're presumably proficient at the intricacies of malloc rather than writing, and have taken the time to share what they've learnt. Better writing will hopefully come with practice
Whisper and HomeAssistant might do it.

I bet it'll be a nightmarish fiddly project.
And why should they? Why should not those workers get same rights? Are they somehow lesser? Just give them also mandatory time off on same day. And then they like others can take some other time free to go to those places.
FWIW performance is not really in the picture when I say "I wish everything was Bazel". Configured properly, CMake and Make are probably unbeatable for speed.

It's just that I really really hate maintaining Makefiles and CMake configs.

Admittedly in the latter case it's because I have never grokked CMake, but also... I don't want to grok CMake, I grok a perfectly good way of building C++ already. And it can also build Go and Rust and Typescript and Proto and JSonnet and it can run my janky codegen shell scripts and if we migrate to Carbon it will build that too and I won't even have to read the documentation.

Not saying I think everyone should migrate to Bazel (I hope I will not become That Ex-Googler), just explaining where the urge comes from.

That's due to American regulations. If any American has an account at your bank, they can audit your whole bank.

So now there are banks that will never take an American customer, and banks that specialize in Americans.

Yea, this is great. I used it alot for this. When you kind of know what you wanna do but you dont know the technical term.

Like if you dont know it is called sharding but you know you wanna store stuff on several databases.

Me:
I have a postgresql database but it has too much data in it. I wanna split the data in several databases. What is that called?

GTP: Splitting a database into multiple smaller databases is known as database sharding. Sharding is a technique used to horizontally partition large databases across multiple servers or instances in order to distribute the workload and improve performance. Each shard is typically hosted on a separate physical or virtual machine and stores a subset of the total data, allowing for more efficient queries and faster data retrieval.

Then i know what to google for
I have found it is quite good at configuring complex AWS IAM policies in JSON. Not perfect but it saved a bunch of time.

There are so many other examples but I truly never reach to google first anymore.
Essential services I think should be in different pool. They are needed to run modern world. But they should be limited to bare needed staff. Just so that emergency cases can be handled and emergency actions taken.

And I btw, do not count public transport as essential service. People have plenty of time to walk, and emergency can include ambulances for medical problems.
Politicians in the US are corrupt. You need a rich person who cares about your cause to bribe them more than the rich businesses with copyrights are currently bribing them. Then the law will be changed.
Fake news are exactly the current state of the A.I. presentation.

Confident expressions without proper referencing.

People also like that their own opinions are validated, regardless of the truth. Which is also another thing why fake news success.

I would say that fake news is an excellent example why current Chatbots might not be so good, as they express information in similar way.
RBPF: Restriction on Wearing of Camouflage
No, not really. LLVM is not a C compiler, it consumes an intermediate representation. Clang is the C compiler which produces LLVM IR.

Likewise, GCC contains a C compiler but the machine specific parts like the codegen take an intermediate representation (GCC has several) as input.

Almost no compilers out there compile directly from C to machine code, there is one or more intermediate forms in between. C is not a good input language for an optimizing compiler.

It's a good and entirely valid comparison. It's the backend codegen that is being compared, the language frontend does not really play a part in it.
Your math is correct, of course, but these aren't the two strategies to choose between and there is a set of behaviors for which your parent is correct.

The issue (using your analogy) is that Bob is exposed to profound, unseen risks that are deeply discounted in the marketplace - he is "picking up nickels in front of a steamroller" as Taleb puts it.

At the same time, you have the Alice strategy wrong: Alice makes regular, extremely leveraged hedge purchases - perhaps even 500:1 or more - and just ignores the steady outflow of her premia.

Eventually, Bob gets hit by a black swan event and loses 80 or 90 percent of his principal and Alice has a 500:1 return on her hedge.

These are the two strategies that are interesting to compare.

It may interest you to know that Taleb performed this in real life with his own money at risk[1]:

"A tail-risk hedge fund advised by Nassim Taleb, author of “The Black Swan,” returned 3,612% in March, paying off massively for clients who invested in it as protection against a plunge in stock prices."

It typically a traditional dish from those regions yes... but it is eaten all over Spain in very large quantities.
It will be far better having US as dominant power than having the axis countries like China, Russia, Iran.

I prefer democracy over dictatorship what about you?

The difference between relation of US companies and government vs Chinese companies and government, US companies often go head-to-head with the government on policies, or they will need "lobby" it, but for Chinese companies, Chinese government have communist party officials directly running the board, Chinese company can only obey the party, look at Jack Ma.

US companies take the data turn it into profit, but scary part of Chinese companies and Chinese government they took the data probably not for profit but for something else, political agenda? or maybe even more worse.
"With unit cost falling as the number of components per circuit
rises, by 1975 economics may dictate squeezing as many as 65 000
components on a single silicon chip.

The future of integrated electronics is the future of
electronics itself. The advantages of integration will bring
about a proliferation of electronics, pushing this science
into many new areas.

Integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home
computers—or at least terminals connected to a central
computer—automatic controls for automobiles, and personal portable communications equipment. The electronic
wristwatch needs only a display to be feasible today.
But the biggest potential lies in the production of large
systems. In telephone communications, integrated circuits
in digital filters will separate channels on multiplex equipment. Integrated circuits will also switch telephone circuits
and perform data processing.

Computers will be more powerful, and will be organized
in completely different ways. For example, memories built
of integrated electronics may be distributed throughout
the machine instead of being concentrated in a central
unit. In addition, the improved reliability made possible
by integrated circuits will allow the construction of larger
processing units. Machines similar to those in existence
today will be built at lower costs and with faster turnaround."

Absolutely correct in every single prediction.

I find it more interesting few seem able to recall what happened the year prior in 2007.

Recall the elevated marketing hype from those trimming portfolios knowing full well what was happening. What I see is a short term 30% sales bump in real-estate (ratio of debts in negative amortization) as the amateur tries to find inflationary shelters after getting disappointed by laggard bond markets.
