I could see something like a prominent disclaimer:

If you could see "okay, they fixed a typo or material error in the listing", that's way different from "this laptop was a blender last year."
When people informally say something "beat the Turing Test," that has little to do with Turing's proposed imitation game, which is more of an interactive party game like Werewolf.

It's kind of a weird benchmark. I think it's better to think of it as just another challenging game for AI researchers to try to beat, like chess or Go or Diplomacy. Like those other games, how tough it is to beat will depend on the human players. I think a proper test would be to play against skilled human players who have practiced.

Maybe not directly related to "performance" but I just need to say this somewhere...

The back button in the new Bing DOES. NOT. WORK. and it's absolutely wild to me that this isn't talked about more. "Don't break the back button" is a trope in web development.

I genuinely thought Bing was a better search engine than Google and tried switching my default (this was just before all the ChatGPT stuff). After a week I just couldn't handle it and had to revert back to Google
Amazing thank you super helpful!
I would suggest they've put you to work on a task to evaluate your overall work ethic, capabilities and ability to stick to the task at hand no matter how boring or mundane, I don't see any need to worry unless it's something where someone like yourself was hired on only for that particular position and task.
Human nature is one of the most bald-faced lies of post-monetarist capitalism.

We are not inherently greedy and there is nothing fundamental or immutable about capitalism.

UBI has nothing to do with communism either.

Changing the rules and structures of the system is going to be necessary if the system isn’t working for the society it serves.
The government is bad for sure. But has SA ever not had a shitty government? Maybe briefly between 1994 to 2008. But it’s pretty nice to build my business here. The government sure as shit won’t be building the country up. Businesses will, and it’s happening.
> You're an asshole if you don't look at alternatives even though they're available to you and you can afford them just because you love your steaks too much

TIL I’m an asshole because I love and eat steak even though I can afford plant based alternatives that I have zero desire to eat because of how processed they are.
Could you please demonstrate your claim by querying the GPT4 model to respond to my above comment and providing the reply? Let's see what the 'expert' has to say about it.
Most of these visual / abbreviations “theories” are utter bs, packages as truth. And they’re very hard to get rid of.

Not 100% bs, but exactly the same as a lot of “best practices” in tech. They’re there for the IP holders of the brand they create with it.

Sell a catchy concept/name, license out the name, verification which experts every 2 years, or certified training courses, charge more for that. Etc
The answer to both questions is "probably more than you think." Which is kind of the point; a moratorium won't solve anything. Even wity successful regulation, governments do whatever they want.
Which you can’t rely on anyway.
Interesting... don't most older laptops have some sort of docking mechanism that exposed basically every connection?

The physical interface wasn't the same for every laptop, but with a common backplane it should be possible to make a seperate docking connector daughterboard for the most popular laptops taking up cupboard space.

I would love to collab on an open-source dock that turns laptops into servers :)
That sounds more like there's a listening "uncanny valley" that the new AI is resolving for images that needs to be solved for audio.
I guarantee that a very dangerous era of misinformation is coming in order to influence/disrupt Ai... The ideal of it gathering information of the open web is silly and short sighted, just like self driving cars, the tech is in an state of infancy, yet somehow big companies are rushing to deploy beta testing in production environments to be first in the profit race... One can't predict how catastrophic this will get, but prepare yourself to trust what you see on the Internet and from Ai even less than you do now, and protect your intellectual property by not posting it to reddit, social media, or any other large-scale data sources because that's exactly how scholars end up screwing themselves out of jobs.
New bolt is what, 20k after incentive? I would assume in 5 years those will be cheaper used. No one is selling 11k gas cars worth a damn last I checked, either, there just isn't a huge supply of used electrics at the moment.

Not that I'm telling you to buy an EV, but EV's are like 6% of (new)sales this year iirc, I expect next year is 7-8%, then 9-11%? After 10% of sales and all the growth is in EVs I expect the market to change quickly, like gas car sales to just fall off a cliff as legacy automakers really start to scramble. Well, at least in the US, seems China has a much higher EV share.

Anyways, yeah, probably somewhere in the 4-7 year range from now, there will be some good options in cheaper, used EVs for people, and probably more than just the Bolt that has decent range at low end new pricing.

Until their a substantial used inventory and more deliveries, sure, EVs are not attractive to the people you refer to. At least in the US.
While it is significant, the article also does mention they've faced larger outflows in the past.
A missing top tube is much easier to deal with than a missing down tube. Lots of bikes have pushed that a very long way. But the main forces there are twisting the pedals against the handlebars and using the front brake, which the downtube is very involved with.

You could build that bike out of steel tubing and it would be rideable, as I said, but insofar as it's broken it's broken at the missing down tube.

Slingshot, for example, had no down tube just a wire and that was a bit notorious for being squirrely in the steering.

You could definitely build a bike like that that was quite rigid, it would just be heavy or expensive or both. A decent carbon layup, for example, might bring it back to the chain forces going through the seatstays being the main issue. But that's something you'd want to analyse a lot before building it. And I think you'd end up wanting a much bigger head tube lug than shown.
And even if they didn’t, OP’s logic is not self evident.
Does rat behaviour always replicate in humans? I thought we were a bit smarter than that.
Especially weird since SFO is not in San Francisco.
Rather surprising to me that it's taken this long to bring such a lawsuit...

They literally don't put a headquarter to claim to avoid all regulations
We have let the perfect become the enemy of the good. With the urgency of climate change, current grid infrastructure, and battery technology and production, the solution we needed to push hard was PHEV. For the battery in a single EV, it can build four PHEVs which means four households reducing most of their gas miles versus a single household. A common strawman is that a PHEV is more complex and harder to maintain. And yet that theoretical argument is directly countered by the existence of the Toyota Prius, one of the best for reliability, so good that it's used in taxi fleets. A PHEV is basically a Prius with a much larger battery. Another strawman is that there wouldn't be demand. And yet there is incredible demand for the Toyota RAV4 Prime. A PHEV with 40-50 miles EV range can be charged overnight with a simple 120V outlet, no expensive electrical upgrade required.
Not to call into question your intentions nor methods, but I highly doubt going to this length, which sounds painfully close to doxxing someone, is what anyone that cares about him needs or wants anyone to do. If that's the degree of distance someone is seeking, perhaps they should be allowed to have it for whatever reasons they have chosen it.
Or a rake.
It's not the same... But what about emergency clinics or walk-in clinics? My brother had a chainsaw accident and they were able to treat him in a few minutes. I kinda hope we get more clinics like this over ER options, I used to go to the ER for a lot of issues until I found these clinics available, now whatever country I'm in America or in Europe I look for them over ER options when available. Good for fevers, fixing injuries, most of the more minor things... I'm not sure about the 8 hour wait but if you already exhausted other options I understand.
Demoing an LLM-Based Application
What a weird colloboration. Now take my money!
I think you're getting a touch screen on all EVs, but some have more buttons than others. My general preference after having lived with buttons for decades and a touchscreen + voice command for four years is the fewer buttons the better.

Re: being stranded, I used to live in TN, and I still routinely drive through there. My hometown is practically a village in the middle of nowhere and it still has a supercharger only 30mi from it. I'm having a hard time believing you can get "stranded" anywhere in TN. In the incredibly unlikely absolute worst case, pull out your mobile charger and charge from an RV or 120V outlet.

Re: Musk, I didn't like his antics when when I bought my 3 four years ago, and I liked his behavior even less when I bought my Y this year. If I didn't patronize businesses with executives who behaved in ways I didn't agree with, there would be no one left for me to do business with.

Good luck with the Lightning! Ford's projecting they will lose $3B on EVs this year, but I hope they pull through.
> If I felt people could use these apps responsibly and sparingly, I wouldn’t worry. But the apps are designed to compel people to use them irresponsibly. Some of the most well-resourced and brightest tech workers in our economy have the specific and exclusive task of ensuring that people have an unhealthy addiction to social media. This is why products like cigarettes are heavily regulated by the government; the potential for addiction undermines free choice and makes sensible use far more difficult.

We should all think about that sometimes.
> It's not perfect because we have to get up to change the movie or skip an ad, but it works.

If you're running on a computer rather than a locked-down device, why do you see ads at all?

Also, you've probably already considered this, but a wireless keyboard/mouse would nicely complete a living-room computer.
Is it just that? Or is this Apple doing the math and deciding the risk they assume is less than they save from credit card fees?
I like driving, and my next car will most likely be an EV, not because it's "better' (whatever that means), but because the Australian Taxation Office has modified the treatment of EVs to make buying anything else financially stupid (if you buy your car through a business entity).

Personally I'd rather have a PHEV with ~50km EV-only range at freeway speeds, which would mean using EV-only for ~90% of my driving, while being able to use petrol for towing & longer trips, but (a) there are none available yet with a sensible price / performance mix (in Australia at least), and (b) the ATO has already indicated they will not continue to treat PHEVs favourably in the long-term.
I’ve seen a few twists on that idea, such as this one: https://www.printables.com/model/416934-framework-as-a-serve...
Yes and no. The powertrain is big and expensive, but it's a fairly small fraction of the car's complexity. (And some parts of the cabin climate system are probably also high-voltage for power and packaging reasons, but that doesn't change the discussion here.)

But everything else, the instruments, the infotainment and telematics, the ADAS, the windows and wipers and headlights, seats and airbags and lock solenoids, the list goes on... That represents a lot of complexity and cost, a lot of moving parts, and it's all still 12-volt. Partly for legacy reasons, partly for safety. (There was a push 20 years ago to go 42 or 48 volts to make the wire thinner while still being LV/SELV safety, but legacy held it back.)

Plus all the undercar stuff, wheels and bearings and control arms and bushings, half-shafts and CV joints and boots and swaybars, wheels and tires and stuff, that just never changes, and since EVs tend to be heavier, they tend to be harder on all that stuff than their ICE counterparts.

So there's plenty of stuff you can service with good old mechanic skills and tools, and plenty of it needs servicing.
Congrats on the launch! I’m working on a similar product at https://upstreamapi.com

Im excited to see what features we build on top of semantic search + chat.
Indeed. When I was a kid there were people who were fixing TV sets. There were people who were fixing watches. There were travel agencies, where you'd go and buy plane tickets, or vacations. All these things disappeared more or less overnight.
I've seen multiple competent people quit the team, citing overwork and team's inability to deliver results.

The reason that more than half of the team were "incompetent but nice". They'd take weeks to do what other team members would do in days, and would require a lot of support too. But they'd still take headcount spots, so the team could not hire more people without firing someone first, and everyone was so nice....
New insights into why aspirin works so well
It is hardly different from saying "you could put cash in duffel bags and the transaction would be hard to trace"

Is that assistance? It is just a basic statement of fact. Is wikipedia guilty of providing assistance to NK? They provide far more in depth "assistance" to anyone wanting to perform a Bitcoin transaction.

Bringing this back to my original comment, you can see why the federal government would restrict the flow of fundamental technical knowledge by virtue of this extreme case. No source code or application was shared, no secrets or privileged information, merely encyclopedic facts were deemed illegal to share.

Also if you were facing the indefinite assange treatment I imagine you would seek a plea deal as well..
Taking the title literally... that's more than 5% of the world-wide working age population -- I'd be surprised if that wouldn't cause luddite riots. But there are a lot of weasel words in the article and even the headline has a "could", I guess the gist is that they really expect generative AI to lower wages. Wish I could my hands on the actual report and not just this article which seems to summarize the reports abstract at best.
> which is the FDIC arbitrarily telling "crypto clients" to close their accounts

The FDIC isn't a bank. Signature was largely bought, but "Flagstar's bid did not include about $4 billion in deposits related to Signature's digital-asset business." The FDIC is telling depositors they couldn't find a buyer for to find a new bank.

> they pose a threat to the future hegemony of a government-backed digital currency

FedNow is not a CBDC. It's a modern set of payment rails for interbank transfers.
I’m sure it won’t be perfect, but the idea that giving people food and shelter is all they need to remove the stress from their lives is funny. People need a lot more than that in my experience.

I’m sure we will find other forms of inequality to worry about then.
I like your vibe
I don’t have particular experience with firmware hacking but how would you achieve persistence with just a simple malloc/bad malloc replacement? What if user decides to reflash the ROM during runtime? I imagine persistence would require emulating the entire firmware update process.

In order to emulate the firmware update process, you would need to reverse engineer a large portion of the binary, right? This is where LLMs would be helpful.
How to Vet Your Potential Startup Co-Founder
The best thing to do, in any situation is to be very honest with yourself. And thats not easy!

Did you try to speak with someone incharge of your role / projects. If the people are good, and if they need you, they will listen.

If not, whats the point anyways.
only if you are incredibly weird. but if you think so, sounds like a good start-up.
Maybe that's what you believe as a nonbeliever.
But no, humans didn't create ibrahimic religions.

Religions were created by god to steer humans into believing in their creator.

I really don't want to continue this conversation as we won't find any consensus on this.
This is cool! I’m guessing you use something like langchain’s document loaders to make it work?
Nobody is going to disagree that windows should give as much visibility as possible and people should know how to drive with them, but it's not physically possible to see something (or someone) on the ground close behind your car without a camera. I'd recommend testing with a traffic cone or something, I think you might be surprised how far back a little kid has to be before you can see them in the mirror even in a small car.

If you won't use them, you should at least be happy that other people have them so they don't back into you. Cars are dangerous.

What is OpenAI is right and the risks are real? They likely already have some glimpses of GPT-5 internally. And GPT-4 is closely resembles AGI already.
The thing is users are OK with poor performance.

As the speed of computers increases, software speed remains pretty much the same.
Teams is an Electron app, I think, so the whole thing needs a huge baseline in order to work.

Being proud of a chat app now only using 500MB instead of 1000MB is odd.
People having been extending the architect for micro controllers and game console roms also, YouTube has neat videos on their projects.
I always figured a lot of it is covering over garbage hardware in software. Whatever "clever" feature it had doesn't actually work and they fake it in the drivers, or they're having to patch around a maze of different buggy hardware revisions. Nobody wants to show the world how that sausage is made.
We need to have at least a clue of what we are doing.

I don’t anyone is proposing a full stop, but we could use some time to get our shit together.
> or (what would be much better) electrifying our major highways so that vehicles don't even need to stop to recharge

Had to stop there. We already can't maintain all the road infrastructure that's already out there before it deteriorates. Adding electrification to any substantial portion of that would not be cheap or simple.
I found this to be a very accessible way to think about parsing a language that back-tracks naturally.

I wonder how this technique would interact with an Earley parsing approach that gives all possible parses in parallel.

I’m trying to imagine this with a set of rules or with dynamic runtime evaluation of what is being parsed.
This has to be one of the most boomer, gaslighting take i've ever seen. Yes, not the constant attack on LGBTQ rights, not the domestic abuses, not the shit education and academic culture, not blatant racism and neo-nazism but smartphones are what caused the mental health issues.
It's funny how I'm sure we're both individually reasonable people but we have wildly opposite points of view on pretty much everything you said. I drive a Model Y and consider it the best possible car regardless of price for me and my family.

> I don't want a giant button-less touch screen, for starters.

Eh. I'm neutral on this. In some ways it's awesome, like when I want to orient myself on a map or scroll through my music options. In other ways I wish I didn't have to fumble around in a nested window to change climate settings. If Teslas had a few more physical buttons but kept the huge screen I'd be happy.

> Range anxiety, parents live nowhere near a charging station

I've gone on so many road trips and never once got into an iffy situation. 320 mile range gets you a lot of places. My parents also live two hours away from where I live (Seattle area), but there are superchargers on the route there and a couple of level 2 charging stations closer to their house. And I put in a level 2 charger at their house, so I can always leave with a full "tank".

> Elon

I'm in WA state, which is as blue as it gets. Despite that, Teslas everywhere. Some of my friends who are die hard Democrats (or even further left), still happy Tesla owners. For me, life is too short to filter everything I do through a political lens.

Although if I wasn't already in love with the cybertruck I would be considering a F150 lightning, so I guess we have that in common.
> Feds are desperately trying to cut off any exits from the mess they've created in the banking system

Do you have any evidence to support this large claim? Or do you simply wish for it to be true?
That’s the excuse they’ll use when they convince the government to require a special license to buy powerful GPUs.
Yes but its not a service, if google stops developing it, other browser can still work, and they can team up and create their own fork too.
I've found Linkedin to work reasonably effectively for marketing / sales personas.

In general I'd focus on the problem and not the solution you're proposing. In your initial out reach message and during the conversation.

You should also try to get the feedback that might invalidate your idea. This will get you thinking about why your idea may not work. Or how you may need to tweak it or test it to avoid this scenario. Better to learn this early than later! Don't be afraid of getting shot down :)
This is really cool! I would suggest a landing page based on the benefits - what cool things are people doing with this? IE some applications - what immediately pops to mind is a chatbot for your website or documentation, but I'm sure there are many more use cases you've thought of. Would be cool to see on the home page.
Forget Disney and Meta. Epic just shipped the metaverse. It's here. Now.

Epic just shipped the Unreal Engine editor as a plug-in for Fortnite. Most of the things you can do with Unreal Engine as a game developer are now available to Fortnite users. What's created doesn't have to look anything like Fortnite.

Plenty of EVs have heat pumps as well.
Wow I definitely thought it was named after the facehugger from Alien.
But why are "crypto clients" even classed differently than anyone else? They deposit cash in the bank just like every other client. What makes them fundamentally any different? It's like if the FDIC told all marijuana dispensaries to close their accounts - i.e. totally arbitrary.

I would maybe believe the argument that the buyer of the bank didn't want to take on the depositors, if it weren't so convenient for the Fed. As it is, I have trouble believing the FDIC didn't pressure the buyer to make that distinction between depositors as part of the sale process.

> FedNow is not a CBDC.

No, but it's the clear first step towards one.
What’s wrong with star signs? It can be easily explained:

- people born after the start of the school year are a lot older when they go to school. That skews this a lot. You’re larger, stronger, more developed. That gives you a huge advantage. 6 months at that point is 10% of your life, maybe even more

People born during the winter (I think) have more exposure to sunlight after the first few months of being inside/protected.

With just these two influences you can explain quite some traits of star signs
This is close, table of LLMs as released, and I try and add repos for the 'open' models:
