Don’t you want M-DEL? Terminal (actually, all text fields in cocoa applications IIRC) use gnu readline commands.

It's air to air, so it's for heating air only. I still use resistive heating for hot water.
Anyone interested in building a ChatGPT for FinTech, or FinGPT?

Fascist Totalitarian control is not the answer.
That’s the problem. I don’t want a green flag that is required to start the application.
I think ‘used heavily’ is a bit of an overstatement.

I think the right intuition for APL-family languages is that they mostly do numpy-like operations except their set of operations tend to compose very nicely. So the idea is that one can quickly and interactively figure out a composition of the operations which will do the calculation you want, but you don’t have a complicated compiler and spend most of your time in the operators rather than the interpreted language, and the operators tend to make the cpu happy – they work on contiguous memory, tend to be vectorized, don’t branch unpredictably, etc – so even if you have to compose many steps, you win on the time to write and the time to execute can be hard to beat because the constant factors of each individual operation are good.

For obvious reasons, things like numpy, pandas, dplyr, etc are more popular as their syntax is a bit more readable and it is easier to get data in/out. I think they do lose a bit by not having lots of the useful compostable APL-style operators because those things don’t have comprehensible names.
Maybe lots of the data is embedding values or tokenizer stuff, where a single prompt uses a fraction of those values. And then the rest of the model is quite small.
If 8-bit training methods take off, I think the calculus is going to change rapidly, with newer cards that have decent amounts of memory and 8-bit acceleration starting to become dramatically more cost and time effective than the venerable A100s.
Yeah, yabai is the one I've had the most success with and I'm a fan of it! I actually still use it for faster desktop/workspace switching.

I've ended up finding that for me personally though, it feels slightly better to give in to the way macOS wants me to do window management, working with the designers' intent, than it does to work against it with yabai.

[1] is an exceptional book for a bright teen, especially so if you suspect the teen leans into their intelligence/abilities to gauge their self worth (I don't know a single person, let alone teen who doesn't do this). The book's main theme states that being a good player has nothing to do with skill, but rather with the ability to create playful environments that encourage growth, humility, and most importantly, more play.
Show HN: DigicamFinder – open-sourced DPReview camera data
Ever since the DPReview closure announcement https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35248296 we were thinking how to preserve the 25 years of valuable DPReview camera data. Archive.org has been great, but it's not usable by the general public.

The best way to keep it safe going forward, is to have the community own it, so we open sourced it: https://github.com/open-product-data/digital-cameras

I'm aware of a number of attempts to make product data open-sourced, but none have the power of the photo geeks behind it :)

Is my assumption correct that Yudkowsky is unmarried with no kids? If so, I wonder how this shapes his pessimism on the subject. Perhaps it's more exciting to be an alarmist about the future when you've only got a few decades left on this planet and with no legacy in place to leave behind.
Silicon Snake Oil (1995) is an early book that criticized Internet hype. Note that the author Cliff Stoll was an expert sysadmin who had much more experience using the Internet than many of the people promoting it at the time.

Billionaires are billionaires not by literally storing cash. The rest of the society values their contributions and creations in the companies/corporations they run. Sure, they have some liquidity but the entire concept of resentment towards billionaires is essentially equal to resentment for the betterment of the world. There are some exceptions but for the most part, in a well oiled market, you can't just become a billionaire by fucking over people.

> does Coinbase even make any money at all if you deposit USD and withdraw USDC?

They have 75% of $33 billions (with a 'b') of the USDC circulating as short-term US treasuries (with every single individual ID of the short-term treasuries publicly posted).

So someone is basically printing free money by having about $25 bn in short term US treasuries yielding atm something insane like 4% yearly.

I don't know who's pocketing that money but that's about $1 billion, yearly, in yields from the short term US treasuries.

If somehow Coinbase (or "Centre" but Centre is Circle + Coinbase) is pocketing that money, they probably could allow 0% fees trading everywhere and still be one of the most profitable HN unicorn out there.

Does Coinbase give APY on people keeping USDC at Coinbase? I have no idea. Does Coinbase give APY on people withdrawing USDC to private wallets? I think they don't. I'm nearly sure they don't.

What happens to that money?

I've never seen anything posted on the subject.
I tried to get a quote on a heat pump here (Ontario, Canada) last week because the gov't has incentives up to $5000 on them right now. My gas furnace doesn't need replacing (9 years old) but the AC does. So I figured I'd ask them to quote on a hybrid configuration in a way where the furnace could maybe be swapped out later when it hit EOL, and in the meantime just be used for very cold temps.

Problems:

Gov't incentive only applies to a full replacement, existing gas furnace would have to be ripped out. Seemed wasteful.

High pressure sales guy wouldn't give me a straight answer on pricing, or even proper spec sheets, but sounded easily like $25,000 CAD would be about the price for a system. And that was on a "medium range" system. That's gotta be at least 2 times more than a new gas furnace + AC. Maybe 3x.

I'm on a rural property, and have the space to do excavation for ground source heatpump, which I suspect would get me an even more efficient system. Sales guy was clueless about them, but it also seems like nobody around here really does them.. still? (My parents have such a system in Alberta, for over 10 years)

Also kind of suspect that gov't incentives just get turned into price increases by the suppliers.

Unfortunately just very frustrating. I'd love to do the right thing here, but it seems at this point that pricing still favours natural gas heating. At least for renovations/replacements? Guess I'll wait for the furnace to die.

This is what testing is for. You don't need to cripple your development environment to have confidence your code works in other environments. Talk about the ends not justifying the means.
I'm not sure you understand the ATF report you're trying to cite. It doesn't say a lot of things because they don't fall under ATFs jurisdiction and they don't have any data on it. My information comes directly from law enforcement sources on the ground.

Obesity play a role in this. I wish the study can consider the body weight too.
A career change is really attractive but adjusting salary expectations is brutal. Skilled jobs I was interested in and assumed were making $30+ an hour I looked into and found they are closer to $18-20/hr. After tech gigs making 250k+ with equity it is a pretty brutal downgrade.

My interest is in starting an all electric gardening company, electric tools have caught up to gas ones, they are almost silent and have 0 emissions. If you live in the suburbs you will know that gas blowers are the death of quiet afternoons and I am not sure why the transition to electric is taking so long.

It would just require a large initial investment followed by a huge pay cut and the uncertainty of being able to build it into something larger :P.
This is a rose tinted look at how GWB handled Katrina. He so bungled the response that people’s opinions of him dropped precipitously afterwards. The excuse for why he didn’t act sooner was that he was on a month long vacation. He was disconnected and praised FEMA which was universally considered to have bungled the recovery.

I mean, knowing nothing else, one of the most memorable pieces of pop culture in the last twenty years was “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”
First, these are trivial examples. I would not classify "give me the values to this math formula" as clarifying questions.

Second, in response to "I'm not sure why you think that?" ask GPT why it often does not ask clarifying questions. It will explain to you why!

Third, I just asked GPT the most vague question on the planet: "I am trying to create a function that takes a value, and gives me a result using that value and another, separate external value, can you give me the correct solution to this using Python?"

And nowhere in its response did it try and ask WTF I was talking about (tho sure its responses are sensible - I am not saying GPT-4 is spewing nonsense)

Sure, I can help you with that! Here is an example function that takes two values, x and y, and returns their sum:

def add_values(x, y):
result = x + y
return result
You can call this function with any two values you want, like this:

print(add_values(2, 3))
This will output 5, which is the sum of 2 and 3.

If you want to use an external value in your function, you can pass it in as a third argument, like this:

def add_values_with_external_value(x, y, external_value):
result = x + y + external_value
return result

You can call this function with the same two values as before, and an external value of your choice, like this:

print(add_values_with_external_value(2, 3, 10))
This will output 15, which is the sum of 2, 3, and 10.
Sure. But is that a cause or an effect?
I have lots to gripe about with Twitter these days, but I don’t see anything non-transparent about a corporate release not being signed by a specific person. It is most likely a product of a group, not a specific person. Attaching a name to it doesn’t make it any more transparent. It just puts that person in the crosshairs given the current environment.
Your cousin's pet ferret's website likely has absolutely no business setting anything related to cookies in the first place.

> but the rate of optimisations being achieved is almost unbelievable. What has everyone been doing wrong all these years cough sorry, I mean to say weeks?

It’s several things:

* Cutting-edge code, not overly concerned with optimization

* Code written by scientists, who aren’t known for being the world’s greatest programmers

* The obsession the research world has with using Python

Not surprising that there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit that can be optimized.
I think part of it is you have a lot of idiots whoa re saying this is AGI. It isn't, and it isn't anywhere close to it.
Question the hype, you must not.

I've been reading the discourse here and honestly not once have I ever read a reply wondering just where all the data "Open"AI has was acquired from.
Show HN: It seems pretty easy to generate exploits using GPT-4?
In the GPT-4 paper, they claimed the model was rather poor at exploit development, but with a bit of scripting, it actually seems pretty good?
Ah yes that's right. Well they technically do use a visual transformer for CLIP text encoder as I understand.
The solution to a low quality HN comment is to downvote it, not to return the volley with another low quality comment.
CERN was necessary because there is no business incentive for high energy physics research.

Besides, if the EU and the US agreed today to set up a joint research lab, we might have a shovel in the ground in 5 years, by which point we will have solved AGI already (kidding, or am I?)
I think part of the problem is that they've wrapped all the responses in a positive language framing to make it feel more human.

It's always "Sure thing!" or "Yeah I can do that!", and it responds so quickly that you equate it to when a human responds instantly with a strong affirmative - you assume they're really confident and you're getting the right result.

If it took 5-10s on each query, had no positive framing and provided some sort of confidence score for each answer, I think we'd have different expectations of what it can do.
Race/age correction please...
The G14 looks pretty good - I hadn't checked it out before.

It's slightly thicker and heavier than the MPB and I'd really like to go lighter rather than heavier if I were to switch. If gaming were a priority for me though, something like this seems like it would be the way to go.
I don't think that qualifies? Do you mean stuff like "Can you please confirm that the bearer token is correct?" ?
This is incredible, great work. Have you tried it with the 65B model? Previously I didn't have a machine that could run it. I'd love to know the numbers on that one.
How was Katrina not an environmental catastrophe -- the casual definition that I find repeatedly is "An environmental disaster or ecological disaster is defined as a catastrophic event regarding the natural environment that is due to human activity."

Given that criteria, Katrina was most definitely an environmental catastrophe.

Now, if you mean "When was the last time a president visited a catastrophe that involved chemical/biological/radiological factors?" -- well, that's a bit more rare; but I presume that it's done not as a matter of appearing placid by the society at large, but as a form of damage mitigation before all the facts are presumed known.

it's essentially a rite of passage for the president to hug people in some tornado ravaged state for photos. I presume the risks outweigh the positive P.R. in actual danger zones.

tl;dr : it's easier to declare a hurricane or flood site to be safe enough for presidential passage, so it represents a fairly easy to coordinate photo-op. Things are shakier when the facts about the danger present are not done rolling in.

p.s. I feel the need to clarify something: what I mean to remind by calling Katrina an environmental catastrophe was the significant role that society had in amplifying the damage of the event through both careless engineering, careless maintenance, and careless planning -- which was then exacerbated by careless response.
Lol.

So we’re supposed to show deference to an appointee whose a member of a family controlling a Chinese maritime shipping company who happens to be the wife of the Senate Majority leader, because she’s just a patronage appointee?

Yeah, it's definitely not at the level where it can be fully trusted yet, but I found GPT (and this) quite helpful for learning about something new where I don't have any background in. That's also why I think that something like showing the source of something might be a good way to improve the trust (although also still not perfect...)

Total noob questions.

1. How does this compare with ChatGPT3

2. Does it mean we could eventually run a system such as ChatGPT3 on a computer

3. Could LLM eventually replace Google (in the sense that answers could be correct 99.9% of the time) or is the tech inherently flawed
So you asked to have it ask clarifying questions, and it still didn't?!

Are you people all bots? LOL.
Sure there will be lots of hypotheses for why this is the case. In my experience, though, you can almost ignore longevity and just look at these sociological differences that make the quality of life better for the English:

1. You could easily argue that frequenting a pub shortens your lifespan, but I just loved "pub culture" when I visited colleagues in England. It's a great antidote to loneliness.

2. You can argue all you want that the NHS has loads of problems, but even some rich people in the US, when faced with serious medical issues, their first thought is "will this bankrupt me" or "will I get hit with a giant unexpected medical bill"? Our healthcare system in the US is simply indefensible.

3. Cities and towns in England are just much more walkable, "congenial" in general, e.g. row houses instead of separate, fenced off suburban houses with yards in the US.
I thought people in the US drove like insane idiots long before the pandemic. Weaving in and out of lanes, excessive speeding, road rage over the slightest inconvenience and, the dumbest one to me because it is virtually effortless, failure to use turn signals. It's very easy to drive safely but a good chunk of divers seem to outright refuse.

Having said that, the data backs you up. 7% increase in per capita road fatalities in 2020. Then a 10.5% increase on top of that in 2021!

"As proven at trial, between September 2016 and November 2016, Mackey conspired with other influential Twitter users and with members of private online groups to use social media platforms, including Twitter, to disseminate fraudulent messages that encouraged supporters of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to “vote” via text message or social media which, in reality, was legally invalid. For example, on November 1, 2016, in or around the same time that Mackey was sending tweets suggesting the importance of limiting “black turnout,” the defendant tweeted an image depicting an African American woman standing in front of an “African Americans for Hillary” sign. The ad stated: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,” “Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925,” and “Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the deceptive image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by Hillary For President 2016.” The tweet included the typed hashtag “#ImWithHer,” a slogan frequently used by Hillary Clinton. On or about and before Election Day 2016, at least 4,900 unique telephone numbers texted “Hillary” or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which had been used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by Mackey and his co-conspirators."

Sounds like a bit more than a meme to me.
Of course, you have just described all the hard parts of programming as the things necessary to provide to ChatGPT.
Sorry to have been unclear - my comment was a response to this specific claim, which only considers power generation via natural gas, not the grid as a whole, nor coal:

"Due to transmission losses, it is cheaper, efficient, and greener to combust natural gas for warmth directly than to burn it at a power plant, feed the power into the grid, and use grid power to run a heat pump."

This statement does leave itself some wiggle room with "cheaper", but in terms of "efficient" it cannot really be true, because the average efficiency of a natural gas power plant is 45% - and if I'm reading this document correctly, that figure already factors in transmission loss:
