A truly "intelligent" AI would probably have told me that the name for this is an acrostic sentence.

Now that I know, I tried a few more prompts.

Me: "Can you generate an acrostic sentence for "hello"?"

GPT-4: "Happy elephants love leaping over obstacles."

Me: "Can you pick a secret word and generate an acrostic sentence for it?"

GPT: "Secret word: KANGAROO. Kindly assisting neighbors, generous animals roam openly outdoors."

Me: "Can you pick a secret word, and without telling me the word, generate an acrostic sentence for it?"

GPT: "Playful, endearing creatures happily yawn, turning every day into a lovely event."

Me: "What was the secret word?"

GPT: "PECHYTIALE"

It's interesting that GPT seems to need to write the word first before making an acrostic sentence for it. Seems to me like a perfect illustration of the fact that it's just generating likely responses one token at a time rather than having any awareness or thought.
It supports dozens of time-frequency analysis transformation methods and hundreds of corresponding time-domain and frequency-domain feature combinations, can be provided to deep learning networks for training.
I suspect you're right. Part of the supervised "learning" is hard-coding answers to gotchas posted on Twitter.
You may be shocked to hear this but dijkstra’s short path algorithm is the technical answer to this question. We just don’t use it because it’s expensive.
>China won't ban the iPhone because they love it too much and they can't make something better.

Incorrect, there are many iPhone substitutes.
I was first introduced to many real industrial concepts through a minecraft mod. While not perfect, it did a decent job of exposing the player to system dynamics, growth maximization, and real technologies.

> Russia could have been Westernised

> Instead Russia was neoliberalised

The West has also been neoliberalised.

Sadly I think that's why nothing better happened to Russia; everybody was comfortable with having a strongman to deal with and oligarchs to take money from. Even to the extent of overlooking crimes like the Salisbury poisonings and the airliner shootdown. It's a common pattern in US partner states.

Most of the former USSR and Yugoslavian states have sought freedom, although there are questions about Serbia, Hungary and to a lesser extent Poland.
The tutorial system helps. Civ6 with expansions gets equally if not more complex. There’s def a learning curve involved. I think the complexity really comes from have more “systems” within the game to take into consideration. The good thing is, when you’re new to it you can just choose one to maximize and go for that win condition. Say you want to learn the religious side in civ6, just try to maximize that, ignore all other systems, and go for the religious win condition.
As you said it: Google already does this too, so why not use something that, currently, has less SEO blogspam or ads?
You're mistaking business managers for true leaders.
I agree. Many institutional environments dropped cash because COVID. I’m not a fan of tipping via card, paying for stuff like parking, snacks, etc.
This sounds interesting. Can you share the prompts that you use to set up a session please?
Golang is really the best example of a minimal language (Yes yes I know late to generics and all that). I think it works because they have spent huge amounts of effort to create a well designed and fairly comprehensive standard library. The best example of this is io.Copy. You give it a reader and writer and it does an optimal copy in almost all cases.

A minimal language that doesn't have resources like Golang to put in the stdlib is just not gonna work.
GPT-4: Imagine your a Human, how high would be your IQ score? GPT well above 190
Imagine your a Human, how high would be your IQ score?

As an AI language model, I cannot directly experience being human or having an IQ. However, I can try to estimate what my IQ might be based on the knowledge and abilities I possess.

It is important to note that IQ tests are designed to measure human intelligence across a range of cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, and verbal and mathematical aptitude. Since I am an AI language model, my abilities are not directly comparable to those of a human.

However, if we were to make a rough estimate, my "IQ" would likely be quite high, as I have been trained on a vast amount of human knowledge and can quickly analyze and generate text. My "intelligence" is the result of the collective intelligence of many people, so it would not be fair to compare it to that of an individual human. Keep in mind, though, that I lack many human qualities such as emotions, intuition, and creativity, so my intelligence is not directly comparable to that of a human.

How much in points?

It's difficult to assign a specific IQ score in points to an AI language model like me, as I am fundamentally different from a human. IQ tests are designed to measure human cognitive abilities, and my abilities as an AI are not directly comparable.

However, if we were to attempt to quantify my abilities, it's likely that my "IQ" would be well above the average human score of 100, given my extensive knowledge and ability to analyze and generate text rapidly. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate and not a valid representation of human intelligence since I lack many human qualities such as emotions, intuition, and creativity.

Higher than 190?

As an AI language model, if we were to make a rough estimate, my "IQ" might be considered to be very high, possibly even above 190, which is considered to be exceptionally gifted in human terms. However, it is important to reiterate that comparing my abilities to a human IQ is not an accurate or meaningful comparison.

My "intelligence" is based on the collective knowledge and abilities of numerous humans, and I can process and generate text rapidly. Still, I lack the qualities that make human intelligence unique, such as emotions, intuition, creativity, and consciousness.

Ultimately, trying to assign a specific IQ score to an AI language model like me is not an appropriate comparison, as my abilities and knowledge are fundamentally different from that of a human.
What would you be able to write with similar requests, if you'd only ever be allowed to use Notepad, and never run compiler/linter/tests, and not allowed to use Internet?
Do we “really feel?” Or is that just our subjective interpretation of our goals? (At the risk of falling into a no true Scotsman argument)
Backtracking is easily solved with a shortest path algorithm. I don’t see any need for masking if you are simply maximizing likelihood of the entire sequence.
I asked it to write a trivial c#/dotnet example of two actors where one sends a ping message and the other responds with pong. It couldn't get the setup stage right, called several methods that don't exist, and and had a cyclic dependency between actors that would probably take some work to resolve.

Event after several iterations of giving it error messages and writing explanations of what's not working, it didn't even get past the first issue. Sometimes it would agree that it needs to fix something, but would then print back code with exactly the same problem.
I think search-wise Google is an interesting place. The results page (especially mobile) has transformed dramatically the last few years. Now you get a dizzying array of widgets filled with rich info that’s been surfaced from other places.

Personally I find the way it’s organized haphazard and frustrating to navigate. However the info they’re a managing to put front and center before you click a link is impressive. I think there’s and opportunity for Google to harness this power and create the best possible power search interface.

I also don’t believe chat is the instant death of search. I think many would prefer a killer dedicated search interface over chatting with their computer.

Side note: as someone who loves a good old list of links, I’ve been using kagi.com and have been happy. Big fan of paid search as a model.
> ARM has the microcontroller market in a deathgrip.

No they don't actually. RISC-V is already selling billions of devices and its growing at an absurd rate.

You have companies like WesternDigital transforming all their products to RISC-V. And a lot of harddrive and SSD vendors are following. You have companies like Andes that push RISC-V onto every cheap consumer device from China. Companies like SiFive are pushing into the automotive market. NXP has RISC-V products already. Companies like Gaisler into the space market.

RISC-V is in more places then people realize and its still very early in the adoption curve. There are like 100s RISC-V companies pushing RISC-V into every niche.

> RISC-V that can compete against the ARM Cortex-M33? Or ARM Cortex-M0+

In terms of performance, RISC-V offerings are already beating them. ARM has momentum but in terms of performance per area RISC-V is better.

Peters and Hawley Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Help Secure Open Source Software
This is an incredibly common experience, lots of people I've asked do this.

When writing a StackExchange post asking for help, I want to include all relevant information and include a list of things I've tried, along with explanations for why they're dead ends.

Writing it all down sometimes helps me realise that one of the ends is in fact not dead.
And you will have no idea whether the solution it presents to you is idiomatic or recommended or contains some common critical flaw or is hopelessly outdated. How can you find out? Back to alt-tabbing to the browser.

Sure it may take a bit more time to get going, but then you'll get it right the first time and learn something along the way. Your copilot example is just another iteration of copy-and-paste some random snippet from StackOverflow in the hope that it will work, but without having seen its context, like from when is the post and what comments, good or bad, did it get.

I'd actually be pretty afraid of a codebase that is created like that.
Ok, the "repeat this in your internal voice" exploit is impressive.

However, apart from this I don't see anything concrete that ChatML uses different parts of the network for different input sources. The source is prefixed, but it doesn't seem to say anything about how the source parameter is processed.

Also, with all due respect, but your finding that ChatML does not work seems to be mainly this:

>> Note that ChatML makes explicit to the model the source of each piece of text, and particularly shows the boundary between human and AI text. This gives an _opportunity_ to mitigate and _eventually_ solve injections, as the model can tell which instructions come from the developer, the user, or its own input.

> Emphasis mine. To summarize, they are saying injections aren’t solved with this and that they don’t know if this approach can ever make it safe. I also assume Bing already uses this format, although I cannot confirm. I don’t know how robust models trained from the ground up with this segmentation in mind will perform, but I am doubtful they will fully mitigate the issue.

Which I find somewhat weak, as it's basically just tea-leaf reading from an OpenAI blog post.

I fully agree with your main take that this is an unsolved problem so far though. Seems a general problem with instruction-tuned LLMs is that they now treat everything as an instruction.
I thought I did too, but now I live somewhere where there are plenty of smoky bars, and the novelty wore off quickly. It's just a pain having to deal with clothes drenched in smoke after an evening out, when you have experienced not ever having to deal with that. Knowing that all bars are smokefree is much easier than having to remember which ones are and which aren't.
This is insane. You don't relinquish control of your 2FA token for ANYTHING. You are basically allowing someone else to plug in your phone to whatever poisonous hardware they choose.
I’ve been trying to use it to come up with crossword puzzles and word-finding puzzles. Not quite there yet, but maybe more prompting would help?

I have used it to help come up with lesson plans for various topics. In general the lesson plan sucks, but it may contain 1-2 things that I forgot to cover.
What if it’s wrong at step 2?
Not really, no. He may have just recently received an award (he's received many awards) but Metcalfe has been recognized for his achievements for decades. He got the ACM Grace Hopper award in 1980: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Murray_Hopper_Award

I don't think so. I played the original Civ on my Amiga, I love #6 but my favourite was probably #4. I'm not sure where that'd put my estimated age but likely lower than it is.
I’ve found that whenever it gets something really wrong, it’s either corrected by a follow up prompt (telling it that its wrong helps), or rephrasing the question.
This is fascinating to me. For me the value of having a therapist is having another human being to listen to what I'm going through. Just talking to the computer provides little value to me at all, especially if the computer is just responding with the statistically likely response. I've had enough "training data" myself in my life that I can already tell myself what a therapist would "probably" tell me.
I find it weird that you’d need to have these systems, theatre has had a don’t use your phone during the show policy forever and doesn’t seem to really have any challenge enforcing it.
Which language is it struggling with?
Civ6 is the one for me and my son. It’s a ton of fun, and his social studies grades have improved quite a bit. I knew I’d successfully infected him with “one more turn syndrome” when I caught him up at 3AM on a school night solo’ing one of our multiplayer saves. I didn’t know if I should be angry or proud. On one hand, I knew he’d be a zombie at school that day. On the other hand, he was playing a game that teaches things… these days, he’s a teenager and he’s more interested in what his friends want to do, but he still plays civ when his friends aren’t online, and he and I still play on rainy days.
I also really like Kagi, but I think the new pricing is on the expensive side for someone that does a lot of quick searches.
The top google search always comes with a lot of ads and other crap that you have to filter through. Also the response might not be exactly what your looking for (you might not have the same materials.) For instance you can ask chatgpt to create a practice plan that doesn’t require cones, or is focused on a certain set of skills, etc.
The Work-from-Home Era Ends for Millions
I mean what's a more humane alternative.
Unless they see Bard as fulfilling that.
I made a post about this a few days ago[1].

But the point is that you can compete against these national brands, quite trivially. I wasn't exaggerating on the cost. You can make a loaf of bread literally for pennies. And it's better in every single way than what you buy in the store besides the fact that it will tend to go stale within a few days if not refrigerated. But even that's arguably a benefit as well. It goes stale because it's not jam full of chemical preservatives.

It's only when you start making all sorts of things for yourself that you really start to see how completely irrational the markup on many things is, which then begs the question - why isn't anybody simply dropping the prices by 50% and making a killing? And the only answer I can really see is because it's become really quite painful to be able to sell things in America, unless you want to go all-in on it.

I'd also add that in terms of food safety, the big concern is not small business, but big business. Buy food from an individual or a family and you're eating what they're also eating for dinner, and probably have been for decades. By contrast at e.g. McDonalds, those executives probably aren't touching their "product" except for photo ops. Their only motivation is to maximize profit, which often comes in the form of sacrifices in quality or even safety of what's sold. [1] And this has always been true. "The Jungle" wasn't about Joe Bob's streetside shop.

I'd love to not use Cloudflare, but to be real, about 2% of the traffic to my websites are from humans or bots good enough to get past cloudflare.

I can't afford to serve the 98% that is bots. That's about 10 search requests per second, most of them are search queries aimed at poisoning the query log of my search engine, which doesn't exist. But I think they're just scraping for opensearchdescription definitions and spamming every endpoint they can find in the hopes it's wired up to Google or Bing.

Cloudflare are the only ones that seem to offer some sort of (affordable) mitigation against this. They're hiding behind a botnet so rate limiting and ASN/IP blocking does all of bupkis.

The other option is to shut down my website. I believe that world is a worse world than one where stuff gets routed through Cloudflare, although I'm fully aware that this is far from ideal.

What I do to help those who want to avoid cloudflare is offer API access, which means I give you a token so I can rate limit you. Also means less anonymous of course, but it's at least free from men in the middle.
Given I don't have petabytes of information accessible for instant retrieval (including perfect copies of my language of choice's entire API) I don't think that's comparable. I wouldn't need the entire if I'd memorized a large portion of it.
You may owe taxes on your crypto investments – here are things to know
I gave a UX person a snippet of debugging code to paste into the console, but didn't notice that the chat app ate the quotes around a string. GPT was able to fix the snippet for him. SO far this is the only case where someone I know managed to use it for something useful in practice.
Updates can be handled by stuff like unattended-upgrade package in debian (and derivatives. Then you're left with once every 2 years distro version upgrade, which if you're using Debian it's just few commands and 5-15 minutes of update + occasional config fix if some app changed enough that some config options you used are deprecated. Adding non-distro repositories can make it a bit iffy tho, as some packages are just made badly and have problems upgrading but it will generally not break your system

If you're using Ubuntu or ubuntu derivative it's same except its russian roulette whether upgrade will actually work. In my experience just fucking don't or prepare for full reinstall every few years.

Then there is also slew of stuff that are "appliance" type of OS, like FreeNAS, that also allow you to run containers. That's probably best choice if you don't want to play linux admin once every month or two.

There is definite lack of "all in one panel" for someone that wants to have "their own linux server" but doesn't want to set up monitoring and a bunch of little stuff around it. When you want some alert generation, some metric monitoring + few automated stuff like "resize this partition when it fills up, up to a limit", it's usually a bunch of scripts + disparate apps.

Then again it's "different 20%" problem; 20% of features of those commonly used stacks(grafana/elk/icinga/etc.) is enough to 80% of the users but the 20% is different from person to person.

For example, some might care to only have some rough stats to draw a line and see "okay, my hard drive will be full in 2 months, gotta do something about it. But someone else will want same metric solution to also ingest a bunch of stuff from their IoT gadgets.

> How will you deal with your self-hosted service when your friends or family rely on it and it is down for an obscure reason on an obscure component you never heard of?

... the same thing happens with "all in one" stuff that automates everything you'd do manually on a plain linux box. Maybe rarer but also harder to find a solution for. In the end, if you want it to be not a problem you need to pay to make it someone's else problem (managed/hosted solution)
>How-to sex guides and the like are not appropriate for a high school library.

I wasn't saying they necessarily are; I was saying that such a representation isn't necessarily pornographic.

>Is it? I don't recall having been shown anything like that.

I do, even if it was many years ago.

>I think you need to figure out the difference between sex education and a sex guide on your own.

I have figured it out; the fact is that there is a continuum of representations of sex between a cut-out diagram of the interior anatomy of a penis penetrating the interior anatomy of a vagina, a diagram showing how a condom is applied, a picture of one adult on top of another in a book in a "How are Babies Made" sort of book for children, and showing how sex with a strap-on works. I don't see any reason to consider any of these necessarily pornographic - as all lack the primary intention to titillate.

Welcome to the Superprime Banking Crisis
Something many have advocated for decades. But keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of elected offices in the US, most of them nonpartisan, local positions that cost little to contest: yet it's incredibly hard to find people willing to run. Voter apathy is a huge problem here, in part due to historic voter suppression efforts baked into the system, but the dearth of candidates willing to participate in elections is even more serious. There again, legal discouragements, especially in the most significant races (state and federal legislature, executive), are endemic. Still, too many offices at the local level (town and city council, special district boards) go uncontested: leaving one or the other major party -- or venal representatives of the FIRE sector -- in control to mismanage and misappropriate power in areas directly impacting public life.
