Interesting comparison with Intel in the PC market:

> the market just wants the software and if the software works the same, the hardware is replaceable

And likely to be true given how much competition is heating up in the AI hardware space. Granted, many of these competitors and startups especially have existed for years and haven’t made much of a dent. Even Google’s TPU doesn’t seem that much better than Nvidia’s stuff based on their limited MLPerf score releases. Maybe this “iPhone moment” for AI will change that and force competitors to finally put some real effort in it.

As for Nvidia, looks like they are trying to adapt by selling their own enterprise software solutions such as Omniverse and their AI model customization stuff. Will be interesting to see if they can transform into more of a software solutions provider going forward.

> The economy isn't built around lies and making shit up, is it?

Yeah, it kind of is. Fake it 'til you make it. Vaporware landing pages to validate products. But that isn't what we need to focus on.

ChatGPT is more than a chatbot. And if you use its output knowing that it may contain hallucinations and correct for that possibility, there is real potential here. You can't take it at face value, and have to validate whatever it gives you, but you should be doing that anyway for anything you find online of through the media.

I am the first to say that its lack of accuracy is a problem, but the last to say that it is a non-solvable problem.
staff/principal engineer opinion:

figure out business priority. if something in poor state.. it impacts you personally, you team, organization, overall business?

the higher it blast radius, speak with you staff or principal engineer and raise the issue. sometime tech debt accumulate over time while no one watching. at some point the debt must be paid or innovation will halt.

think closely about what makes it “poor” and what impact this has. i wrote most elegant code (me opinion) that never ship to production.

also worked on old..dusty messy code that go against design approaches. but it ship to 20 million customer and contribute hundred of million USD in revenue. so to say “poor” maybe meaningless at time because it actually make money vs me code that gave negative contribution ($0 earning plus cost of me and my teams time).
I would expect it to do that for the same reason that we humans feed and protect endangered species.

For many people grown and socialized in some Asian cultures (including Japanese, Korean and Chinese), a good job in a prestigious company is considered a worthwhile objective, not something that needs to be disguised.

I think that's more a trait of emigrant subcultures than it is a trait of those cultures as a whole. Parents who take big personal, financial, and social risks to move to another country tend to want to protect their investment. When it comes to their children's choice of career, they can get very offended if the child chooses to pursue theatre or fine arts instead of medicine or law.

If, on the other hand, you travel to Japan, Korea, or China (or indeed India, Thailand, Vietnam, or any other country in Asia where people emigrate to come to the US) and actually visit people living in the countryside, in small towns and farming villages, you'll see a radically different picture. People practicing their culture and living a traditional way of life.

The difficulty of immigration and setting down roots in a new place, far from the support of extended family social networks, serves as a natural (and artificial, due to various immigration laws) barrier which tends to select for families where the parents have this sort of drive.
I follow some indie hackers online who are in the scraping space, such as BrowserBear and Scrapingbee, I wonder how they will fare with something like this. The only solace is that this is nondeterministic, but perhaps you can simply ask the API to create Python or JS code that is deterministic, instead.

More generally, I wonder how a lot of smaller startups will fare once OpenAI subsumes their product. Those who are running a product that's a thin wrapper on top of ChatGPT or the GPT API will find themselves at a loss once OpenAI opens up the capability to everyone. Perhaps SaaS with minor changes from the competition really were a zero-interest-rate phenomenon.

This is why it's important to have a moat. For example, I'm building a product that has some AI features (open source email (IMAP and OAuth2) / calendar API), but it would work just fine even without any of the AI parts, because the fundamental benefit is still useful for the end user. It's similar to Notion, people will still use Notion to organize their thoughts and documents even without their Notion AI feature.

Build products, not features. If you think you are the one selling pickaxes during the AI gold rush, you're mistaken; it's OpenAI who's selling the pickaxes (their API) to you who are actually the ones panning for gold (finding AI products to sell) instead.

Plus, given that sampling is probabilistic, one would have to prompt the model many times and evaluate all the responses. When I see examples as in the post, I always assume that the result was completely cherry-picked from a larger samples that contained all kinds of stuff.
This is not properly referred to as health insurance. It is a sickness, aging, and death payment plan. There's no such thing as major medical anymore.

It was private healthcare that backed public law forcing minimum coverage. Why? Because their pool was shrinking. They were getting sick people who needed care, but with premiums skyrocketing, what benefit is there for healthy people to buy in?

But I agree that the private for profit health care system is an abomination only made much worse by making it public law requiring we buy into it. Instead of Medicare for all.

What I think is super compelling is other AI techniques excel at reasoning about structured data and making complex inferences. Using a feedback cycle ensemble model between LLMs and other techniques I think is how the true power of LLMs will be unlocked. For instance many techniques can reason about stuff expressed in RDF, and gpt4 does a pretty good job changing text blobs like web pages into decent and well formed RDF. The output of those techniques are often in RDF, which gpt4 does a good job of ingesting and converting into human consumable format.
Sounds exactly like my private for profit health care provider.
> Lex Fridman is kind of boring which makes it hard to even sit through the first half. Feels a bit like he has the personality of a fridge.

Odd take IMO. Lex clearly has a lot of personality, although he's too much of a romantic for my taste, but he just doesn't have much of a delivery due to his monotonous speaking style. These aren't the same.

I guess I always just find it weird when people equate animated, extroverted personas with "personality".

This is depressing and an absolute travesty. If this was anywhere else but California I might look to the parents for blame, but here I blame the teachers and the school system.

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but the public education curriculum in major cities seem to have strayed far from making sure that every child is drilled in the basics: Basic reading, writing, and mathematics.
That gets at what another poster suggested, albeit very obliquely. Thank you!

However, I ultimately don't find that responsive. There's still a pack leader. Whatever term is used for it is a question of human linguistics, not of wolf behavior. I fail to see how the idea of there being an alpha wolf/pack leader/whatever is a myth.

In particular, claiming that alpha wolf is a myth is quite a different thing from claiming that alpha male is a myth. Since dominance relationships in a wolf pack are hardly affected by sex, the latter would be a defensible claim. The former is emphatically not.

Defund AP classes and redistribute surplus resources into remedial reading. It's that simple.
it can leave millions of accountants and auditors without jobs.

I think those are two examples of exactly what cannot be replaced yet. Their jobs are specifically about ensuring that rules have been followed precisely. Current AI sounds confident, but still makes obvious errors that would be completely unacceptable for accounting and auditing. Same as software engineering, you currently still need a human reviewing the output and verifying that it's actually doing the right thing, and without side effects, poor handling of errors and edge cases, etc.
When it comes to manage the insanely complex systems that form society, I think I would choose an incorruptible (if biased) AI before a fallible human being any day.

I've actually wondered if a job may exist in the future that's effectively just AI documentation. That's already what you have with power users on, say, Stack Overflow providing a ton of content that ChatGPT basically reprints; they don't even get paid for it.

The cool and interesting thing about that theoretical job is that the writers of it wouldn't have to write well; they could just slop out a ton of information and ChatGPT could clean it up and make it consumable.
I can’t help but think of those people who REALLY want to be a forum moderator or on those bizzaro world campus justice systems… and often seem to be the worst people to do the job.
> Just as Congress doesn't need to explain their Constitutional authority when passing a law, either.

The House requires that, as a rule of the House.[1] Which is why, when you look up bills today, you'll see a "constitutional authority statement". It's mostly a reminder that, unlike state legislatures, Congress does not have a general police power. Most of Congress's regulatory authority derives from its power to regulate interstate commerce, which is pretty much everything commercial now.

Are you not a part of the "general public"? If it is true that there is a class of people who don't have your advantages and therefore have worse medical care, is that a situation that you see as acceptable?

It always seems strange to me when people argue this about this issue from a hypothetical perspective, when we have a wealth of actual data that we can use to compare health outcomes. We can just look at the results and see what works better!

The Executive is there to implement an enforcement mechanism, even if the decision os to implement a null mechanism.

The executive cannot (or normatively should not ex nihilo) just materialize enforcement infrastructure without Congressional approval. The existence of Administrative law, however, rather shopts down the original intent of the Founders in terms of Governmental architecture.

Harvard was created to educate the elite not to create it. This is the fundamental issue here.

These institutions see their purpose as preserving western civilisation and hopefully shaping its future direction. Part of this joke was about turning Harvard into a trade school for asian doctors. From their point of view this would be the same as becoming a factory churning out plumbers or electricians.

The "secret sauce" of the admissions process is simply "If this candidate doesn't attend Harvard are they highly likely to become a member of the elite anyway?". This opens up things about our society we don't want to face. George Bush is related to the late Queen of England. Many of the elite are the same families who have ruled over us for the last thousand years.

Even at the local level your chance at becoming an important person in your city is closely related to who your parents are.

By accounting for the structure of society and distribution of power at the time of application the admissions process becomes at best conservative and at worst racist.
the point is that this is the first (so, only known) tile shape that is also aperiodic. Previously aperiodic tiling schemes (like Penrose) required several tiles of different shapes.

any additional single tile shape that was aperiodic would be interesting regardless of how many sides it has. I supposed if there turned out to be many of them there would be a grouping based on how many sides.

Public healthcare means health care paid for via public funds, nothing more.

Many public health care systems aren't entirely centralized, even though they use public funds. For example even the UK's NHS has regions with allocated budgets they manage based on the number of patients they see, which they then spend as they see fit.
