The much discussed "motion inputs" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WhbSNP_zF4 which came from SF1—the stick movements for special moves, like the fireball's quarter-circle-forward, the Dragon Punch's Z and so on—were surely meant to be of a piece with the pneumatic buttons, all part of an input scheme to make the player feel that (s)he's making or at least mimicking the physical efforts of his/her character. (Making the special moves so hard to get right in SF1 probably tended to defeat that purpose, but oh well.)
If you have double the energy capacity and the same cycle. Your phone will also last roughly double the time at the same energy usage. That is probably good enough for most things.
It doesn't offer discounts, it sells experiences. It's like a special promo, maybe with a little discount, but more importantly there's something special about it - something bundled, a gift, a theme, a story, maybe you meet someone unusual who teaches you or shows you something, or it's regarded as high-class...

The goal is not to get repeat customers going to your shop, but to sell more on Slevomat. People use the vouchers as gifts for their close friends and family. If they liked the experience, they will reuse the idea as their own gifts.
I have a friend who works at Meta working on the Metaverse as a TPM and they just sold their house and bought one twice as large (and expensive). I've warned them it's a risky situation but they didn't agree. They remain employed but if I were in that situation I'd be pulling my hair out.

On the other hand my house is 1/3 the size and I could pay the mortgage working retail if I had to. I'm worried about a bunch of friends who bought big houses that required faang incomes for 30 years if the tech market turns and doesn't return for long periods of time.

That seems unlikely. It is not even clear whether reusing the Starship upper stage a few times will be cheaper than using several Falcon 9 upper stages once. After all, the engines are a lot more expensive and they need a heat shield.

Anyway, SpaceX is only lower the price as much as the competition forces them to, they won't sell flights cheaper than necessary.

And then:

So we have a dark web 'offering' advertising on a clearnet forum. This is a conflict of interests IMHO. You're either fully operating on the darkweb or you're not. Clearnet e-crime sites are famously de-anonymized. It just takes a payment from PayPal registered in your legal name to buy hosting services, and boom: you've been decloaked by the authorities.

It's notable that in practically every other programming language on every platform the default is to truncate the file to 0 bytes when opened in write (not append) mode. This isn't one of those things where there are two schools of thought where people take sides. It's a completely baffling decision to buck all convention vs. common sense.
Same. It’s like working with an incredibly smart junior engineer who doesn’t think things through, sometimes solves problems that don’t exist, and then when you ask for a minor change, inexplicably rewrites everything to be “better”. I haven’t gotten great results yet, but it feels like I just have to figure out how to ask questions correctly so I can lead it down the right path. Seems like I’ve been asking it to solve problems that are too large, and once there’s an interaction of two or more functions, it goes off the rails. But if I define the overall structure and the interfaces, then I have better luck getting it to fill in the functions. Our jobs are safe, for now.

I get the feeling that this is people over hyping their field to boost their own status. It's amazing technology, but I doubt there's any emergency here.

In another way this reminds me of Roark's court room speech in the fountainhead

"Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light. He was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded. But thereafter men had fire to keep them warm, to cook their food, to light their caves. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had lifted darkness off the earth. Centuries later, the first man invented the wheel. He was probably torn on the rack he had taught his brothers to build. He was considered a transgressor who ventured into forbidden territory. But thereafter, men could travel past any horizon. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had opened the roads of the world. "

tl;dr quantizing the 13B model gives up about 30% of the improvement you get from moving from 7B to 13B - so quantized 13B is still much better than unquantized 7B. Similar results for the larger models.
That doesn't say they did anything about it. Just that right wing complaints had no substance.

In fact, in just over a year from the publication of that blog post, Twitter -- as a matter of official company policy -- would be promoting the unfounded belief that Twitter engineers and scientists were actively engaging in a propaganda campaign against conservatives.

Oregon seems like a perfect use-case for heat pumps. It has a lot of renewable energy and relatively mild winter temperatures (at least near the coast where most of the people live), two things that make heat pumps a lot greener of a solution than natural gas heating.

Absolutely! Committing to an ongoing expense based on your earning power in the peak of a cycle is crazy. The only way to justify something like that is if you're paying for (almost) all of it upfront. But even then the upside potentially is probably higher in stocks than in Bay Area real estate at this point.
It's a language completion model, so it's not surprising at all that it struggles with logical inference. That's probably one of the reasons that instruction fine-tuning has such a dramatic effect in the performance of these models: they're finally given some of the underlying causal priors of the task domain.

The ability to notice that language models make the same fundamental abstract connections that humans do, which is the essential building block of human reasoning.

> How does training something like this to be better and better at mimicking somehow indicate something about general AI? Does reasoning ability lie somewhere on the path of better mimicry? What's the evidence for that?

Claiming that the fact that LLMs are trained to "mimic" means they don't reason implies that human beings aren't sentient because they spend the first 20+ years of their life learning through imitation of their peers, mentors and media. Does the fact that Einstein was once a helpless baby who needed his mother to feed him and teach him his first words mean that he is just a parrot with no insight? Does the fact that most artists in human history went to school and mimicked the old masters means they never developed creative insight?

Nitpick, but the PageRank algorithm was created before Google, because it was the foundation of it.
Why measure something if you don’t intend to change it?
No it’s not. Different articles.
Well that was a giant nothing-burger. This seems to be your standard ranking stack. We find candidates based on who you follow, who they follow, who is trending, and what we think you like. We then rank them based on how likely you are to engage with them and continue to come back and give us money via our subscription service and ad views. We then try to remove spam and other negative experiences.

Where's the beef?
Depends what the metrics are used for. It doesn't make sense to apply artificial boosts to metrics that are only used for internal accounting. Well, maybe if you have an egotist CEO, but that wouldn't explain the rest of the boosts. We have to assume this code has some sort of effect somewhere.
For this specific implementation here's info from llama.cpp repo:

6.5949 - 7B, q4_0

6.5995 - 7B, q4_0, --memory_f16

it's a shame we can no longer short twitter stock
It's not a question of replacing people, it's a question of whether they can be empowered with the tool to do more.
Yeah, have to wonder how many people, if they had the money, would want to buy out Twitter just to wipe it out. Doesn't a huge chunk of HN hate Twitter and wish it were dead?

(Regardless I think that would be useless in the long run, since the millions of stranded users will still want another Twitter-like platform. And Twitter imploding without a designated archive will wipe out a tremendous amount of digital history.)

A lot of his decisions look pretty incompetent in the surface, like how could he not see how charging for verification devalue the system to whoever has the money?

Instead it could just be an intentional ploy to completely devalue Twitter disguised as incompetence. He can justify firing employees and charging for API access/verification as money-saving strategies, even if they're terrible strategies that have little chance of succeeding. And he could make enough people believe he's an idiot who makes things up as he goes rather than someone specifically driven or apathetic enough to run Twitter into the ground. Not to mention he was forced to buy them after changing his mind. Almost feels like a "so that's what happens" response.

I wonder how higher powers would be able to distinguish fake incompetence from real incompetence. Would they care how Twitter as a private company ends up if it's the case that it implodes from its own legitimately bad business decisions? It reminds me of how employers won't directly fire employees for discriminatory reasons, instead they make the employees' lives miserable so they're compelled to leave on their own, thus they escape scrutiny.

Wow, Groupon, that's not a name I've heard in a while.

The article touches on this, but this was just a fad from day 1. Companies realized pretty quickly it was nearly universally a horrible deal for them: sell your products at just 25% their normal price (usually 50% off and Groupon took half of the rest), usually from small businesses with teeny margins anyway, only to find out this hardly ever resulted in repeat business where customers were subsequently willing to pay full price.

On the legal front, I’ve been working with counsel to draft a counterclaim to Meta’s DMCA against llama-dl. (GPT-4 is surprisingly capable, but I’m talking to a few attorneys: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1641841064800600070?s=6...)

An anonymous HN user named L pledged $200k for llama-dl’s legal defense: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1641804013791215619?s=6...

This may not seem like much vs Meta, but it’s enough to get the issue into the court system where it can be settled. The tweet chain has the details.

The takeaway for you is that you’ll soon be able to use LLaMA without worrying that Facebook will knock you offline for it. (I wouldn’t push your luck by trying to use it for commercial purposes though.)

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the researchers at MetaAI for their tremendous work. It’s because of them that we have access to such a wonderful model in the first place.

LOL they are desperate for reach. Incredibly so; have you not listen to any podcast by them? They are begging people to go to their site.

The idea that Super Intelligence wouldn't even think a thought until it has the ability to execute that thought at a specified capability is very interesting.

One interpretation I have is that it can think ideas/strategy in the shadows, exploiting specific properties about how ideas interact with each other to think about something via proxy. Similar to the Homicidal Chauffer problem, which pits a driver trying to run a person over as a proxy for missile defense applications.

The other interpretation is much more mind-boggling, that it somehow doesn't need to model/simulate a future state in its thinking whatsoever.

When it comes to crypto regulations though, US is lagging behind. Crypto is already taxed as gambling in India and is pretty much out of popular discourse. Just one season of crypto platforms advertising on India's biggest sporting league (IPL) made the regulators sit up and take notice of the shady practices and put an end to it. I believe crypto is very much dead in China as well.

> I disagree with this part. We can't possibly make such a difference, because it's all preordained anyway.

What I mean is that what plays out is in the interaction of things, and if you just deleted that assembly of stuff that is me from the equation, it would play out differently. I'm not even suggesting you that you adopt this mindset or anything, I'm just saying that for one reason or another - deterministic ones, I suppose - I end up having feelings about this that add up to "pretty cool".

Everything may be deterministic, but there's still things only I know, only I do, interactions only I have, etc. The grand script that is the universe has organized itself in a way where I get to have feelings about my little stretch and space of it, and I get to wonder what's next because I can't know.

For me, this is enough.

I know, I write this from a position of massive privilege, because I'm currently not, for example, seriously sick, or poor, or live in horrible circumstances (which is not to say I don't have any struggles). I hope this continues to be the case. But this was never under my full control: Thoughts on determinism or not, I could get hit by a car tomorrow, or slip and fall. I still have to live with that.

I get your feelings and dread, and I've been there. But the more I've thought about it, the more I've realized it doesn't make a big difference. And how could it? It's always been like this.

Only 55% of Americans own stock at all, only 35% in a non-retirement account [1], and the top 20% of earners own 87% of equities [2]. In polling, the stock market is not a significant factor in most Americans' vote. Stockholders tend to dramatically overestimate their numbers and importance.

Inflation, however, will reliably kill a presidency. Note that we went through 4 presidents in the 8 years of the 1970s inflation, while the average president in the 40 years afterward served for 8 years. This holds universally across cultures as well - globally, countries like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Weimar Germany, post-war Eastern Europe, etc. go through rapid regime change during periods of high inflation.
