Hey, well done on getting this shipped! It would be cool if I could walkie-talkie this response over to you!

I watched two of the videos.

The first video was about the problems that you typically have in a team and I think he hit the nail on the head there. It is frustrating with all the github emails and jira emails and slack notifications from 100 channels.

I was really hoping you had solved this or at least partially.

When I watched the second Jira I saw the product. I would describe it as potentially better than Slack but hard to be sure without using it. But I didn’t see how it solves the problems? Don’t I still have many channels, conversations etc. to track. And all the emails are still there!

Async voice chat may be great but I feel it is a leap of faith for me. You see the problem is where you have a company that is already on teams and slack, that product is embedded deeply across the org so at best if I try yours I will still need to keep slack going because the sales guys won’t switch (vice versa the sales guys use some cool communication tools but still need to run slack).

It might be different in small startups that could drop and switch in a decision made when chatting at the bar after work or whatever.

I guess in short I didn’t see the killer feature.

But… I am not an “early adopter” persona. I might get it once you are wildly successful.

What would be interesting and compelling would be say a YC startup that switched to it write a case study.

The motivating problems you mentioned are good ones to solve and I am keen to see them solved. I think the solution is a mix of software and management culture change and business skills training (efficient meetings etc.) and probably for 2023, some AI!

F-35 Engine Running Too Hot Due to ‘Under-Speccing,’ Upgrade Now Vital
It took me a while to figure out what, exactly, this is. The front page mostly talks about benefits rather than features and the demo page (/demo) does not contain a demo - just a few minutes of more pitching. You need to continue on to the /how-it-works page to see what the product actually does: https://www.flowy.live/how-it-works

To save people a click, it's a pretty polished-looking tool that that allows always-on voice chat amongst a small team. It's a bit better than it sounds: you can opt in to specific channels, there's a nice system for playing back audio you missed or previously heard, and there's a priority system for channels.

It'd be absolutely ruinous for productivity to use every day, but I could see using it during a hackathon or during incident response as a way to increase communication bandwidth temporarily.
I asked GPT4 for many Friends and Seinfeld episodes. It did both of them pretty well, but the Senifeld episodes were better written and funnier. In friends it tried too hard to mimic something from the show's episodes. Both shows it wrote well and was creative enough. It certainly writes much better than default ChatGPT. However the Friends episodes it wrote were not funny. The Seinfeld ones were good enough to make me wonder whether we will see a flood of TV shows even more than what we see now.
It says he trafficked 15kg of fentanyl. $220 is basically gas and per diem money. Allow me to present the conspiracy theory that this guy owed the cartels a favor for whatever reason, and the payment was purely enough to let him deal with the costs of performing it. This has the looks of a man who painted himself into a corner, rolled a bad dice roll, and then had no way out.

>It's sad that he didn't have the wit or the character to plead guilty and try to straighten his life out for the sake of his family.

That won't overcome the fact he now owes 15kg of goods to the cartel, and probably has no way to pay it, and he's staring down the barrel of being in prison full of people who have nothing but time to settle the debt. I think this guys death warrant was signed as soon as he got caught, and probably halfway written by the time he was even asked for the favor. Quite possible he did the best thing for his family.
This is so funny it actually is very encouraging about the future of this tech
You're not getting my point. This fear of a "hidden agenda" is ridiculous. Did you want roe v wade to be overturned ? Did you agree with any of the arguments supporting it that came forth ? I'm guessing no

Evaluate what people are saying on what they are saying. If someone being religious (or insert anything here because lots of things influence opinions) would change your stance completely on something you already agree on then well there's a word for that and i think you can figure it out.
What are folks doing that are killing all these LED lights, causing flicker, etc.? We've got a mix of LED fixtures and Edison based replacements and don't have anything worth complaining about.

I think in the seven years we've owned this house I've replaced two of them that got cooked in the weird enclosed recessed light in the living room. I did have a (commercial, hardwired) strip light fail in the basement shop, and disassembled it to find a cold solder joint on the bulk filter capacitor -- easy fix for me, probably not for most homeowners.

We don't have any dimmer switches, I suspect that may have something to do with it.
It's interesting to watch those creating the systems start to grapple with the consequences now, even though they were warned for a long time this is likely where we'd end up, with very difficult hard to solve problems.

Look at MidJourney, now they've had to remove the free tier due to Deepfakes causing too much trouble.

Ultimately, the simplest thing to do would be to stop building uncontrollable dangerous systems and weapons. That is what any "intelligent" species would do. Many AI Engineers think they're intelligent, I disagree. They're operating out of pure intellect and curiosity. When interviewed, someone asks them how they plan to stop these things doing immeasurable damage, they will say, "we don't know yet". That is foolish behavior.

We seem to enjoy creating crisis after crisis, anxiety after anxiety ad infinitum until we make that one mistake we don't come back from.

The combustion engine was a good idea, until it wasn't, it's a moronic invention that has caused untold damage.

Intelligent ? Hardly.
Yeah I have been doing this too. I noticed ChatGPT tended to make decisions for me so I set a few set of DM rules for it.

So far it has been going well. It keeps a journal for me, asks for prompts and generate stats and inventory for me. The dialogs and NPCs are lively.
Why would a future president think there are any limits whatsoever on his actions, when a future of prosecution will never await him? Kind of what happened on Jan 6.
While I believe you have lived a unique set of circumstances that have been processed by you, a delightful and fallible chemical soup inside a meat sack, and that it cannot be approximated.
That adds another level...
What was your prompt? I just asked GPT4 and it is way off the mark:

Zinedine Zidane
Cristiano Ronaldo
Mesut Özil
Gianluigi Buffon
Zlatan Ibrahimović
David Alaba
Nemanja Vidić
Miroslav Klose
Franck Ribéry
Patrice Evra
Gonzalo Higuaín
Marek Hamšík
Miralem Pjanić
Diego Godín
Sadio Mané
Dani Alves
Kalidou Koulibaly
Koke
Hakim Ziyech
Piotr Zieliński
Wilfried Zaha
Arturo Vidal
Raphaël Varane
Steven N'Zonzi
Blaise Matuidi
Marouane Fellaini
Kevin-Prince Boateng

Most of those don't have any Z's in their name.

Then I asked:
> Please remove players from the list if their name doesn't include the letter Z

New list:

Zinedine Zidane
Mesut Özil
Zlatan Ibrahimović
Miroslav Klose
Franck Ribéry
Gonzalo Higuaín
Miralem Pjanić
Sadio Mané
Hakim Ziyech
Piotr Zieliński
Wilfried Zaha
Raphaël Varane
Steven N'Zonzi
Blaise Matuidi
Marouane Fellaini

> There are still players in the list who don't have Z's in their name

Finally:

Zinedine Zidane
Mesut Özil
Zlatan Ibrahimović
Miroslav Klose
Raphaël Varane
Hakim Ziyech
Piotr Zieliński
Wilfried Zaha
Steven N'Zonzi
Blaise Matuidi

Interestingly, some of them have sounds that are pronounced as Z, like Blaise Matuidi. But it's still getting it wrong.
Chrome vs. Edge is not a browser war, they are both Chrome.

Speaking more broadly, the browser war is all but decided until the Chromes fail of their own accords.

The only non-Chrome browsers still in existence today are Safari and the Firefoxes (Firefox and its various forks). Safari is only relevant in iOS by way of Apple gatekeeping, and Firefox hasn't been relevant for well over the past decade thanks to Mozilla's utter mismanagement and malice.
You're basically right, though the IE dev team was effectively disbanded in 2002 so it's even earlier then you mentioned
I think they went the GPT-4 route and ^z their release so they could productize[0].

I feel that Elden Ring is a bit too open for a From Software game. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro, which I all love but suck at, are all a bit more directional in terms of where you need to go. You can "crawl" an area a bit more, whereas Elden Ring just feels too expansive. I'm often asking "is this where I'm even supposed to be at?". That can be fun in a mystical sort of way, but it makes it hard to even know what I should be working towards. Plus, their RPG elements run deep, and you need to basically live on the forums and wiki to understand how to piece together a build. Winging it is fine, but it usually means you've stunted yourself in some unclear way. This is why I also really like Sekiro, which removed some of that.
search engine. it has all the embedding operations (text and images) and optimized inference. lots of other options like multi-modal queries (including negative queries) and multi-modal representations for documents.
I am an outsider who observed YC companies and their founders for a while.

YC is an institution in the VC world and YC is extremely specific about what people they want in their program. But you have to understand the people running YC has probably told many many founders "I am not going to spoonfeed you everything, figure that sh*t on your own".

YC will give you the initial boost and you make up what you want to make up for it. Making it to YC doesn't mean you are going to be a unicorn and they know it. Considering the amount of people they take in, it is not possible to make everyone special.

I think the picking criteria explcitely mentions that there are companies that are actually too good for YC meaning that they can certainly generate a sustainable income but they just don't fit the bill. The bill is about, a VC who is a startup founder. When the dust settles you either get a founder of a successful company or a VC who came from a failed or acquired startup.

That is what I see standing from outside. YC want people who fit the VC personality and posses the youth and the desparation of scaling up a startup. Someone who can work incredibly hard and shake hands with the sweater vest people.

I honestly don't think the startup aspect has much to do with. It doesn't have to be one person, they want this very particular personality trait shared among the co-founders.

This is not a criticism at all. But I think YC doesn't want companies they want people. Some people are just not that.
Why did this get flagged. Could use some more description but it's pretty interesting
Look, I couldn't be less excited about Diablo 4.

I have been a genre fan for a very long time. Before the isometric/top-down dungeon crawler, there were First-person dungeon crawlers and I loved Eye Of The Beholder and Lands Of Lore indeed three decades ago now. And then of course Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Lord Of Destruction. All of that was good.

And came Diablo 3 and I didn't like the reviews so I waited and then I tried the game, I wanted it to be good so much, everyone said it plays better on console so for the first time in my life I got hold of a console, an Xbox 360 and played with it. I can't say I got hooked.

I did get hooked on Path Of Exile four years ago though.

So I tried Diablo 4 and it is a console-first game again which is a death knell to a game like this by itself, it can't be avoided, there's just more keys on the keyboard, your design field is narrowed to design for controllers. But it's also a hamfisted MMO. I want none of that.
Wonderful! Can you please describe the algorithm?
from what I’ve gathered talking to people who were there: pretty much this.

The explicit reason we were given for the layoff was simply that the new product we were all hired to help develop/support just wasn’t getting as much adoption as the execs had hoped and the company wanted to refocus on historically and immediately profitable products and services instead. Meaning laying off most everyone they had hired in the past couple years. Everyone on my team got axed except for the manager, who was told he was basically going to have to do all of our work now (small company, not quite a startup, but liked to think it was). There were some branding/marketing/org changes in the prior months that didn’t really hurt anyone, but would have been at least a bit suspicious to see if everything was going great.
The next adventurers will have a hell of time trying to avoid all those zombies trying to sell them food preservatives!

The AI is clearly helping you create an story, not mastering a game.
Maybe for you, but I have been considering just this. I would love to have dedicated 24v for lighting and charging of devices. My house already has various systems for lighting, such as xenox throughout kitchen under the cabinets and also the basement. Both are driven from separate transformers. Then I got the rest of the house with can lights utilizing br30 bulbs that are just a waste of 12 awg. The one place I was able to replace with dedicated LED fixture, I had to overpay for a decent product that wouldve been better off as a 24v basic LED light. When you consider most hvac systems operate at 24v, there is some real potential to create a decent standard serving multiple purposes.

And besides, idk if you have ever pulled 12ga wire, but it's a pita. Idk any electrician that would agree with you saying it would be a pain to cut back on heavy wire and pull half that with light 22 awg.
That's a really interesting paper too. Thanks!
Well they have had the opportunity to (for instance) overhaul the renderer or thread dimensions since 1.0 in 2011, and we are still here tapping our feet.

They have tried to pull in mods before, but unfortunate drama that ensued probably soured them on that idea.
“We recognize the need to think about the long-term impact of AI. But these sci-fi worries have sucked up the oxygen and diverted resources from real, pressing AI risks — including security risks.”

The thing is, the speed at which AI is progressing makes it not really long term at all, we need to use junk about these existential risks now (really, we should have tried to solve this 20+ years ago)
Your point doesn't go amiss; but America has done pretty well letting powerful people get away with crimes, and fared fairly well despite it. Ford and Nixon, Hayes and Tilden, Jefferson Davis (charged, never indicted), Hoover, Kissinger, the list goes on. We've healed as a nation pretty well letting powerful people get away with crimes - some bigger than Trump's wildest dreams, and here we are today.

A case can be made that shutting these people down during their era and their 15 minutes of fame could have meant that the list wouldn't have been as long. I'm not sure. Either way, I recognize that this is an uncharted territory - and I'm weary of where it can lead in our discourse and political approach to our domestic political opponents in our already-fragile democratic system.
From Software still makes fantastic games. Elden Ring, Sekiro (my personal fav), Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc.
Try a foreign language. It was total failure with Turkish. ChatGPT is about a million times better at it although it's worse than it is with English.
Somewhere mid-2000s Microsoft recognised web applications were an existential threat to their Windows Applications monopoly. Presumably after IE5 when they first introduced XMLHttpRequest as an ActiveX control (or was that infighting? It was released for online mail AFAIK). Did that have anything to do with the slow down in development of IE?
Illinois manages to be as much as 55% blue because Cook County/Chicago overwhelmingly votes Democrat, and always has.
Ah, okay, I see now.

Feel free to define analogy as a thing in which everything applies in exactly the same way to the level of detail that it really means you're describing the exact same thing using different words, while the rest of us go on with understanding that analogies are limited-purpose.
As another commenter has said, I'd recommend Processing[0], a java-based language with a graphics library. One of the best ways to get into text-based programming languages.

The tutorials I would recommend are from the Coding Train youtube channel.

You can make tons of games and animations with this, I mostly used it for 2d games.

I have only tried it on high school 10th graders, it's worked pretty good for getting them into object oriented programmming.

ok! Thank you! I will of course spend the time to learn more as well but that was very helpful.
maybe most office jobs are just boring as hell.
security theather should be mocked.

only fools sign away all their protection from government snooping on you without probable cause for the privilege of not being inconvenienced by poor tsa "agents". heh. guess you never read the form you signed when joining global entry.

the real way to fly is to get to security an hour earlier at least and say that you opt out of the scanners, just to screw them as they screw you.
Awesome! Glad to hear things worked out.
Google only recently decided to retire the "cleanup tool" that was bundled with Chrome.

Back when it was clear that Google wanted users not to suffer from malware but they didn't want to draw the attention or ire of established antivirus companies.

grab a gpu and just start building and tinkering with pytorch.

find a project to work on.

make sure whenever your pc used to be idle it is now always training something.

comma ai has two good projects on their github, the speed and calibration challenges. there are many others around.

I've used chatgpt in a research context numerous times and I always ask for sources and double check the sources. When asked for numbers most of the time it makes them up, when citing sources it also makes up titles of papers and DOIs. It's highly likely the information you got is entirely false
Where do you see “students learning code”? I wanted to screenshot that and share it.

I’d be completely unsurprised if they amended it to not say that anymore after realizing how ridiculously silly it sounds.
Don’t worry, you get wiser. Instead of chasing the latest IT fad or whatever, you realize it’s mostly something regurgitaded or rebranded and just smirk. Even if it is new, it will be old in a few years.

Travel, read books, do things with your hands. The average iphone user is losing IQ points pretty rapidly and they’ll be on meds soon enough to not be any form of competition.
SIP off can, I believe, muck with Apple Pay on Apple Silicon Macs.
In Canada (BC), cheap Ikea LED bulbs cost 1 CAD [0]. I'm not sure what price you expect but to me that's pretty cheap.

It does make sense. The FDIC is holding 90B in assets from SVB. Those assets were purchased with deposits. First Citizens actually bought 72B in assets for 50B. So 72B + 90B is pretty close to the original 167B. Using 90B as an estimate, given that we know SVB bought those assets with depositor funds, does make sense if you’re just trying to make a rough estimate.

How's that different than the special code that tells you to ignore the comment?
Read heavy books and scientific papers, bang your head against a (metaphorical) wall a lot. Follow intellectual trails and be willing to get seriously lost.
This would be so much better, and harder for real attackers to obfuscate and mislead. It would be easier to secure as well. It should of course also be physically based, and not software. This would probably mean always-on BS like Siri would always leave the light on, which would be honest.
I recall some of them requiring editing registry, or using software like CCleaner. Far from easy in my opinion, especially for a layperson.
Fair enough. DC then, of some reasonable voltage.
>Kernel extensions also need you to disable SIP, which is annoying if you want to work on a kext or even install one.

A nitpick, but kexts really aren't the way forward post-Catalina.

Note that I am not defending Apple's bungled handling of the transition.
Cool stuff! We are looking to build an application on this or something like this soon. Do you support chat completions or is it just text completions from OpenAI? In other words can I use gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4 with this?
I'm glad that the current set of training is pleasing to you.
During installation HomePod's reach out to validate they are running the latest version as required by the iOS device you are setting them up with, and they do all kinds of connectivity checks cause they don't work on captive portal networks either.

I am betting one of those checks fails because its on a network that blocks port 80.
I imagine Google might have tried AI solutions for Code Jam problems and realized that human contestants could (and would) be eliminated.

Probably just a coincidence that they also decided to reduce the number of humans that they employ.

If you ask it to randomly pick a twist ending, a normal ending, a funny ending, or a scary ending, it would probably do it.
Enjoy your life however you choose, but your cynicism is lazy and derivative. ChatGPT has created(!) a bunch of quests for me to play with my kids and we’ve all walked away with smiles on our faces. I was so impressed with the contents that I actually googled a bit to see if the plot was stolen wholesale from some existing module, and found nothing.
Yes it probably is.

However chatGPT's term of service are explicit about disallowing people to use code generation from the model to train other models. Now, how enforceable that might be... that probably remains a matter for the courts.

But doing what these people have done is breaking the terms of service of the application.
Shrug. I think it’s a bad practice. People can have a lot of fun regardless of course. It is most “bad” for things like perception, and persuasion. In D&D specifically it creates awkward scenarios where one player is very good at things that come up all the time and has a high chance of succeeding at things unless he rolls truly terribly.

In my experience players have an moment of confusion and then elation when they ask an NPC to do something, grab dice to roll persuasion, and then the DM tells them to put the dice down because the NPC just agrees with their line of thinking without a number telling them to.

But yes it is all subjective.
Yes, I've used GPT-4 as you described. None of that supports your point. There is no reason to think AGI is near. You're just making things up and clearly don't understand the basics of how this stuff works.
Sorry a noob question, how is Faiss different from say pgvector, other than the fact that pgvector is developed mainly as a postgres plugin? I think I saw use cases of using pgvector for similarity search on openai encoidings of text (which itself is generated from a NN)
The letter is about the training of future models, so of course it should focus on future problems
