Core CPI is above 5% by many measures (annualized using recent months numbers). Median CPI, which removes outliers, was 0.6% MoM last month.

That being said, I don't think the effect of the funds rate will be felt linearly like most academic models assume, and don't think funds rate has to be above CPI to be restrictive.
That type of test (have someone pushing ChatGPT to say that vitamins are good for you) would be more relevant than testing an LLM on its ability to recognize symptom keywords and match diagnostics, something that everyone (including their harshest critics) readily admit they can do.

The “MedMD problem” is so classic that a comment next to this one doesn’t have to explain why you always end up with cancer. And the supplement industry pushing PragmaticPulp’s friends’ delusion isn’t exactly discrete either.

All that, while every Western nation has record levels of low physical activity and social isolation: there is a real mismatch between medical advice to civilians and what those tools offer. A convenient, accessible medical dictionary is great, and I have no doubt it can process even more specialized knowledge, given enough strong-arming Epic (the de-facto monopoly on doctor’s note software) and a sprinkle of data engineering. However, that’s not the most apparent issue that this tool has. I’m concerned that OpenAI isn’t more focused on the bigger problem.
I think you have recognized a significant part of the motivations behind this, but you're missing a key detail: pornography.

The Corporation for the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - which is currently embarrassed to be known colloquially as the Mormon church - has declared "pornography" to be one of the most menacing and dangerous things in our society.

Most of the people in Utah's government, including the governor and both senators, are active members in the Mormon church. "Active" is a key word here: it is not by any means a casual relationship, especially if you want political support from other Mormons.

The narratives surrounding porn as "a threat to children" tend to conclude that all content a child interacts with must be curated to protect them from that danger.

It's trivial to just blacklist pornhub et al with DNS filtering. You can't go blocking Reddit or Facebook, though: that would be an overreach, placing you clearly in the realm of "helicopter parenting".

This law has two effects:

1. It gives parents the social excuse to invade their children's privacy: It's the law's fault now.

2. It gives parents the social responsibility to invade their children's privacy: it must be irresponsible not to.

To invade a child's privacy is to do harm. This law, and all of the intent it came from, demands that harm be done in the name of safety.
I don't think this "pedantic reminder" is correct.

Feel free to prove me wrong though. Give me a binary to run which will escape a container, configured only with docker flags I choose to set, but without gvisor.

If it's not a "secure sandbox", surely the above should be easy... But of course you won't be able to. "contained.af" (temporarily broken right now unfortunately) has been running for 5+ years with docker, no gvisor, and no one capturing the CTF flag.

So what was some observations on the “wild agent” what has it done lately?
It just raises the bar so that 3D artists who are only capable of reproducing the same boring things they saw in YouTube tutorials are no longer considered proficient.

The more I think about this trend, the more I think it might be good.

Bootcamp devs are no longer good enough for junior roles since a GPT could replace them. Digital media people who learnt via YouTube and have no real talent are no longer skilled enough. Writers who can only churn out mediocre blog spam are now jobless.

This seems like it might be a net benefit.
I'm not positive about Audiohijack back then, but I know SoundFlower (which shares development history) worked via a kernel extension. Kernel extensions literally have full read/write access to kernel memory. I'm not sure how you'd restrict something like that.

Pride in their skill has nothing to do with staying at a company. They can take pride in their skill as a smith elsewhere too. Even better at their hobby projects.

Pride in the end product might, but most companies make nothing to be proud about, except the skill itself.

So, let's be real, they are at the company to make money, and if they have a better chance, they'll take it. Lack of those, good enough salary already, inertia, and "the devil you know" is closer to the reason they stay.
This is the kind of answer I was looking for. Thank you!
Going to be curious where this goes. As someone who hobby models I get the impression there are certain things modelers would LOVE to be able to just hand to an AI (feel like I saw someone on twitter saying they'd love for it to handle UV unwrapping but I may be thinking of the wrong task).

Any time we can get a program to do the repetitive work that is time consuming but not interesting/creative that is a huge win.

> Writing SQL is not that hard, and mapping the results to a type isn’t that hard either.

But... Then you've written an ORM.
Back then there was occasional software-specific code in many OSs, famously simcity was addressed by name in win95. So it would not be unprecedented for an os to specifically recognize certain software by name. This lives on today in graphics drivers being optimized for specific games. Inside the black box that is proprietary software, they can do whatever they want.
Why? Rice is sustenance food, aint nobody blowing their calorie likits on rice everyday...
I can believe that's a common value at a company, and I'm a little surprised that some others here can't believe it.

I'd add to that: for all but the most intractably huge companies, there's a somewhat different, or additional, atmosphere that I think is even more important: everyone is focused on the success of the project/company.

Put another way: if you could somehow omnisciently and top-down get each person individually coordinated such that all they need to do is their complete their assigned tasks on schedule and with high quality, that'd be great. But, realistically, you can't (well, not in innovative startups, nor in a lot of tech work). So, if you can get people thinking and coordinating towards goals beyond whatever task someone told them to do, then then you can be more effective collectively.

Maybe you the craft you had in mind already implicitly encompassed this focus towards larger goals. But if you look at popular modern methodologies, organizational incentives, etc., it's pretty clear that's not implied many places.

Here’s the fundamental problem.

By any reasonable standard, a “clinical pharmacist for 10 years” should understand that there are circumstances where there is a correct answer, and incorrect answers are potentially catastrophic.

You, clearly, are either unable to recognize that or are unable to recognize that LLM are dangerously useless in such contexts. Either you already know the correct answer, making this useless, or you are not competent to utilize its answers because you can’t tell whether it’s about to kill someone with plausible nonsense.

And if a “clinical pharmacist for 10 years” can lose sight of this really fundamental issue, this whole thing needs to be halted. Governmentally if necessary.

And it won’t be.

It’s bad enough that “bad actors” will leverage this for their purposes, but the presumably competent simply turning off their brains over this is the most perplexing glitch ever to be on public display.
GalenAI looks very interesting -- definitely will be taking a closer look! :)

>> Now - throw a punch of clinical guidelines in a vector database and give it context

I built MedQA (https://labs.cactiml.com/medqa) as a way to explore how GPT could be used through providing clinical guidelines as context + pretty extensive prompt engineering. There are definitely limitations and the accuracy/constraining "hallucinations" has to meet a very high bar, but I've found it interesting-to-helpful several times while on rounds at the hospital as a med student.

Some functionality made possible through GPT that I am excited to explore further:

- Interacting with the guidelines in a question-and-followup format: https://twitter.com/samarthrawal/status/1620547117717786624

- Answering with different levels of complexity depending on user: https://twitter.com/samarthrawal/status/1636137740390498306

- Proactively detecting if the answer lends itself well to a table format, and optionally generating a table to address user query: https://twitter.com/samarthrawal/status/1631759290414276615
> there are not enough wage earners to buy products and services created by these machines.

i keep hearing this argument, but is this actually true historically when machines took over a lot of jobs (like, farming)?
I feel you, but remember this, every technological upheaval has lead to a higher quality of life (mostly).

Meaning, you might be extinct as banging out code for a living, you might become assisted by the computer and focus on higher tasks like architecture design, communications and ... probably, rewriting half of what the AI did.

When I started, being a web developer was NOT a thing! There were some classical graphic designers that came from Print and started doing web stuff, and it was regarded like a dirty work.

Even today a lot of system developers will look at web developers and say this isn't programming.

Things are in flux, always, so embrace the change, don't deny it, and trust that there will always be something to be adding value to later on. The worst thing you can do is become a denier of change and lock yourself up.

That said, a certain common sense is required, like jumping off the band wagon and calling yourself a web3 crypto bro developer isn't going to do much for your resume. So sit tight, admire the show, and learn what you can.
> It's an ethnic slur against Welsh people

> Etymologists can find no firm evidence that the verb welsh, meaning "to swindle a person by not paying a debt" or "to fail to fulfill an obligation," is derived from Welsh, the people of Wales."

Many may argue that the science and innovation in the last century was funded by the taxpayers and the government that proportionally taxes the poor more than the rich.

Workers merely made tools to make their own work processes more efficient which was taken by many corporations and applied across the workforce without the payment of proportional savings to the people who invented it.

The mass adoption of technology funds the future research process thus the profit is diverted from the masses directly to benefit and maintain competitive advantage.

The time saved due to technology never did reduce working hours or increase leisure time of the workforce.

Thus more benefits go up rather than come down.

I recently needed a package in Fedora 37. They had dropped it after Fedora 36 because of lack of time. I am not a Fedora user, so I had no build environment handy. With OBS it took me minutes to get the package built.

> What possible value is there for entrepreneurs of a secular reduction in valuations?

If the valuations were just speculative, then it could represent a return to a world where cause and effect and value are more rational, which is theoretically far better for a smart investor/entrepreneur to participate in than something between a game of craps and a ponzi scheme.

I don't mean to assert that any of that is reality, but that's a possible avenue for value to be found in a reduction of valuations.
> What is so undesirable about productivity going up by a factor of a 100 or a 1000 and everyone living like an aristocrat, because machines do all the work? Why is full employment such an obsession?

Nothing is undesirable about the future you laid out in your comment, except for the fact that it will never ever happen the way you describe (be nice if it did, but I'm not holding my breath). You could have made similar claims about the computer or the internet back in the day, but what we've seen from those technologies is ever increasing concentration of wealth in a few hands, which is what technology does, it centralizes by default. And most human attempts to redistribute wealth on a large scale have been more disastrous than the inequality they were trying to solve.
The ORM provides a myriad other features, like adapters for every production database under the sun, query composition that is literally impossible in plain SQL, a reasonable interface to the admin and the ecosystem of Django apps, and above all: a logical interface that maps _business objects_ to their SQL tables.

The ORM hate seems to come from people whose day to day interaction with data tables isn't mediated by seeing them as business entities where all the goodness of object-oriented programming actually shines.

What has changed is the level of engagement.

The only adequate solution is to respond in kind.

That can only be done from a place of empathy, which is particularly difficult to have if you are starting now.

I think the best approach is to be clear about your intentions and motivations, and make it explicit that you are not looking for opportunity to pass judgement. Be clear about what you want to change, and ask for input.
I know but I am not looking for emotional responses since they look empty from my perspective. I'd prefer a rational hard answer like "Everything is going to be allright" but no one can promise that.
Random and silly use case from today: I needed to import a list of Polish bank holidays into our shared calendar. Last year, I tried to Google for a ready-made .ical file, and after failing to find one in 30 minutes, ended up manually entering everything into the calendar myself. This year, I just opened the first page, copy-pasted the listing to ChatGPT, and prefixed it with a very trivial prompt:

"Below is a list of holidays in Poland for 2023. Please rewrite it into ICAL format."

Five seconds later, I had a blob of text I could copy over to a text editor, save as .ical, and import to the calendar.

The most crazy thing is just how natural these kinds of interactions are becoming to me. It literally took me more time to write this comment than it took to do the thing I just described.
Because we’re smart enough to see the difference between a craftsman’s guild and a traditional workers union.

For starters guilds tend to have progression by merit, requiring an apprentice prove they are competent enough to be considered a journeyman.

And you know … not wanting to be exploited… healthcare sounds nice… ( on this point, I’d like to point out that as an Australian software engineer, I long ago resolved to never start a company in America because of how insane healthcare in America is. I can understand the guns, the polarised politics and all the rest of the things that make America what it is… but healthcare is just so fucking insane that i haven’t even seriously considered taking a holiday there to see the museums that have been on my bucket list for half my life… the idea of starting a business there is just an immediate non starter… I’ll take US cash and setup a holding corp if they demand US incorporation and employ people elsewhere… so having a guild where healthcare was provided would make American developers more competitive in the job market)
That’s not going to happen overnight. Producers will keep the price the same for a higher profit margins because other things in life still require money.
There are a lot of bundle identifier checks in macOS/Mac OS X, including in the system frameworks. Apple could have targeted the AHP bundle id to break things. Of course, RA could have changed the bundle id or done other hijacking to make it work again, but it would be a cat-and-mouse game that Apple would probably win in the end, because RA customers would continually experience breakage on OS updates.

Also, the "audio hijacker" was located in a well-known system directory, so Apple could just nuke that directory.

That's assuming Apple really wanted to break AHP. It's unclear how much motive Apple had to follow the RIAA request even before the now famous meeting.
A prompt like that already can generate something great using stable diffusion/mid journey. Very exciting indeed that LLMs are now similarly so capable.

The case of Amazon amazes me. This is the company that famously refused to worry about what investors thought 20+ years ago and just kept on being unprofitable (and instead, investing heavily in growth) to the considerable benefit of investors who stuck with them.

Google is crazy too: they will spend more on stock buybacks than they will save through the layoffs, yet are investing nothing in fixing their actual, deep structural problems.

Sure, but arbitrarily blacklisting a specific app, for reasons other than malware? I guess Apple could have done that, but—correct me if I'm wrong—in 2005 I think that would have been completely unprecedented, and certainly trivial to bypass.
