I would love to hear opinions from LLM experts. But I have a feeling they may not be able to update the model, at a fundamental level, so easily by live feedback.

Based on what I have been reading, training the core model is a work of statistical analysis on how often words follow each other. This produces a graph tree of words.

Now how do you re-evaluate the entire graph based on a single additional feedback without actually retraining the entire model with the said feedback (because it is costly, and result wouldn't be immediate, unless you're thinking of injecting the input as an initial condition to the readily trained model)
This is a great way to phrase it.
This is exactly statistics.

>>So I get it, he's got a peculiar style on and off his show that won't appeal to everyone. What I don't get is just how vitriolic some of the comments HNers make about him are.

I don't think it's his style they have issues with, it's more likely his association with "alt-right" personalities that sours some people on Lex. Giving individuals such as Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Michael Malice, Eric/Bret Weinstein, and the "anti-semite" version Kanye airtime seems to enrage a certain group of people.

To those people, quoting Aristotle, I say "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

I don't care for Lex for different reasons. His style, his naiveté (whether genuine or not, I can't tell), just isn't my cup of tea.
How should we get in touch? I’m very curious about this, would love to get the chance to try it for a while.
Reporting outlier anecdotes is more profitable than reporting systematic data analysis.

Outliers are true in the sense of factual, but false in the sense of accurate. The "Don't Look Up" metaphor applied here would be that the media is telling you to look, when reality is that you shouldn't.
Because having higher biodiversity in your gut microbiome is associated with various health benefits, including reduced tendency to acquired new allergies, it seems that the more probiotic strains present, the better. Therefore, a supplement offering "5 Billion Probiotics!" with only one or a few strains may be less beneficial than than one offering 40 different strains.

Probiotics supplements that are always kept refrigerated at a suitable temperature range are said to have a tendency for greater potency, simply because more of the cells survive.
The few companies I've worked at, by 5 years the company either has sold up and everyone was replaced / let go, maybe a select few get to stay out of dozens - the vast majority lose out and were exploited or the company goes on a hiring spree and there aren't pay raises or bonuses because company growth is valued over employee satisfaction.
Feels like you're talking about the exception rather than the rule or perhaps the tech industry 10+ years ago but certainly not today.
I find this to be very typical of CPS. As they report themselves, they miss the large majority of actual child abuse (and one reason often cited, that children and parents agree actual child abuse is less of a problem ... than CPS. So everyone lies to CPS, and they're essentially only used as a means to hurt others, for example in divorce).

You'd think the reaction to this problem would be to seriously downsize CPS, and raise the threshold for involvement. The opposite is happening.
I think you're mixing up math and natural language. A "countable set" in math, by definition, means what I said it means, (or more precisely means it is 1-to-1 with the natural numbers). You can argue that the word itself is misleading/unclear, but that's a semantic argument and you should make clear that that's your stance.

There is a sliding local, not global, window. There is no long term plan. It does not include context past the window. The GPT4 page states the max context is 32768 tokens.

Thus it is local. It does not see anything past this.

We’re working on an app in this space over at wavtool.com with the goal of using AI to speed up the creation process and lower the barrier to entry. It’s effectively a DAW that can be controlled by a chatbot.

We’ve had pretty amazing results just relying on what GPT-4 knows about music. Without any special sauce it can write melodies and chord progressions and make sensible engineering decisions, and only occasionally misunderstands and starts writing in allcaps when a user says something is too quiet

Quite fun to play around with if you find this kind of thing interesting!

We don’t require cover letters, but a lot of people send them anyway. Many of them are useless boilerplate. Even before ChatGPT, you could tell that a lot of people looked up generic cover letter boilerplate and treated it like a mad libs where they filled in the company name and job position.

I wish more people knew just how low the bar was for writing a decent cover letter. You don’t need to spend hours researching the company or choosing the perfect prose. Just a few short sentences that add some context to your application that might not be fully captured in a resume format can make a huge difference.

The weirdest part is that when you get people into a conversation, like on the initial phone call, they can usually come up with a quick elevator pitch for themselves on the spot that would have been great cover letter material. Yet there’s something about the cover letter format that makes some people clam up and get writer’s block. Or they just hate the idea of writing something for someone else to read, so they don’t put any effort in.

Regardless, I don’t think ChatGPT generated cover letters are going to push this ahead. The samples look like it’s yet another ChatGPT style generically safe output. I also feel like I’m rapidly getting good at sensing ChatGPT style writing.
It's a bad title, nobody knows the exact shape. The brightness changes periodically, so all we know it's not a sphere[1]. And it also has a slightly weird trajectory.

Someone claims that it is [2] a very thin alien solar sail, and that is causing the strange orbit.

Everyone else think it's not an alien solar sail, but have no good explanation.

Now someone propose that the comet collected Hydrogen during interestelar travel, and the degasing of Hydrogen is different of the degasing of Water of the normal comets, and that is causing the strange orbit.

It looks like a good idea, and I prefer it to the proposal of the alien solar sail, but let's give it 1 year [3] to claim it is solved.

Have you ever met a hunter? They do not send their kills to "specialized processing facilities" they send their kills to their buddy Jim who butchers it in his shed.

But that's terrible, because it seems like a good way to learn about OpenAI. It presents as if you can listen to this to gain insight into how OpenAI operates.

As the man says, we need to shop for shoes just like clothing. I keep telling my wife that a dress size is merely a guide, and to start a size or two low then keep increasing till the dress fits. Who cares what that final number happens to be.

I live in trainers. I have learned that my size and model is New Balance model 624 in a 4E wide and a size 42 European. I use the European sizing by preference because it gives a finer sizing than the British or American sizing.

It's almost frightening that I can walk into the shoe store and walk out again in less than two minutes with my shoes.

But if I want to buy any other shoes, I have great difficulty. Invariably, the shoes on sale are not wide enough. Sometimes I have bought shoes in a larger size like a 43 or even a 44 to get enough width. But almost invariably again, they are just NQR. And forget about elastic-sided shoes. They are just so tight that I can't even get my foot into the ones with the correct length. I would love a pair of espadrilles. Yeah, right. Dream on.

As I said above, I live in trainers. They're the only ones that 'fit right'.

The conventional analysis is the other way around.

When inflation is entrenched, wages and prices rise at a similar rate so that workers aren't too terribly effected but the value of financial assets don't keep up.

Inflation is insidious in that respect in that it compounds like interest, you might think 5% a year is not that much, but over 50 years the value of your assets are less than 10% than what they were.

It is harmful to the financial services industry in that people decide it is not worth investing. In 1979 Merrill Lynch was practically a penny stock because they didn't have any products to sell that people found attractive.

Perhaps if I were not Muslim I would be able to entertain that possibility, but since we've been informed of facts contrary to that then the answer is that they are certainly not alive.

We know that we cannot assert anything about God without evidence [Qur'an 7:33], and speculation is not evidence [53:28], so it is not valid to assert something has a soul without evidence.

We know that certain metaphysical properties apply to things that have a soul, one of which is experiencing death [29:57]. Things that are described with death by God are: humans, angels, jinn and animals. An LLM is not described by God as possessing death, so it cannot be said that it possesses a soul.
This is an interesting app/approach. I solved a similar issue by switching to LaTeX and TeXStudio.

> What would be different about 2023?

Why would it be the same? Think about it from first principles instead of assuming that what happened in the past will keep happening in the future. If there's a ceiling to the demand for programming work and we're near that ceiling, and you then increase the productivity of all programmers, the number of jobs will have to go down.

Is there a ceiling for demand and are we near it? I don't know. But the argument that stackoverflow and search made things better and so it goes for GPT-4 isn't thought out very well.

If I want an efficient method of receiving information, I read. If I want to listen to two people have an interesting conversation, or have information conveyed in a way unique to audio (eg. Hardcore History), I listen to a podcast. Two different mediums with two different appeals, imo.

There's also the passivity of it. I can't read while I drive, but I can listen, and length doesn't really matter in these cases because it's a way for me to pass time as much as anything else.

Right, a bad company with bad processes could definitely stifle the benefit that ChatGPT could provide.

That's the vertical integration aspect - if they own each step in the process, they can avoid supply shocks and have a more efficient business. It is also a consolidation of power which can create risks for consumers, though. As explained by 30 Rock:

Jack: “Imagine that your favorite corn chip manufacturer also owned the number one diarrhea medication.”

Liz: “That’d be great, because then they could put a little sample of the medicine in each bag.”

Jack: “Keep thinking.”

Liz: “Except then, they might be tempted to make the corn chips give you –”

Jack: “Vertical integration.”

In this case, JLC could decide to steer their customers towards copycat parts which they have a commercial interest in, knowing that the marginal cost of doing your own assembly or switching providers would be fairly high.

I think my point was more that if they're doing what it says, that says more about where they’re at mentally (able to take action) and the quality of the advice (they’re willing to follow it).

My stance here is based on an optimistic outlook that a person seeking therapeutic advice is by doing so demonstrating enough awareness that they’re probably capable of recognizing a good idea from a bad one.

I realize this can get into other territory and there are very problematic failure modes in the worst cases.

Regarding “My life is better if I just do what it says.”, I think concern is a fair reaction and I don’t think the author fully thought that through. But at the same time, it’s entirely possible that it’s true (for now).

If someone continues to follow advice that is clearly either bad or not working, then it becomes concerning.

But that was the other point of my anecdote. It became pretty clear to me what wasn’t working, even at a time that I wasn’t really sure how the whole thing worked.
If you have recommendations I'd love to know of them, but my search has come up empty.

There's a world of difference between a 10 second TikTok clip and a 25 minute episode of some show. The latter used to be enough time to get an entire day's worth of news not too long ago. So I don't think that the medium fundamentally needs to be movie length to be effective.

I suspect it's simply the case that shorter, more information-dense content takes a longer time to produce. It's a lot easier to have a 3 hour conversation with someone and dump it online. And I understand that there's an audience for just that. I do also think that there's a huge gap for short form podcast content waiting to be filled.
I’m sorry but modern medicine and technologic / scientific advancements happen without the modern American psyche.

> and then immediately scrapping and recycling it

You seem to be confused. Using steel as a raw material is not "scrapping and recycling". The value of steel in engineering applications is that you can trust that the properties of a particular alloy used to make a particular part will comply with the specs. Steel from China is renowned for being unreliable and failing to comply with standardized properties.

https://www.cdmg.com/building-faqs/why-using-cheap-steel-is-...

You avoid that risk by importing steel as a raw material and use that to actually produce reliable steel. If low-quality steel is cheap enough so that after recycling it you can still make a profit then it's a sound business decision and the whole economy benefits.
