That is not what is happening. Go have a look at the downvotes and flagged posts. One sided. Violently so. And it will not get better. That is not a good thing. As a centrist this is what I detest most about where our society is at the moment. This idea of "thoughtfully" left the stage a long time ago.

If you want don't agree, post a thoughtful comment against this indictment right now. Not defending Trump, just express the most solid case you can make against this indictment. Then watch and see what happens to your post. If you actually believe there's balance on HN, do that. I'll be you'll be very surprised.

I use both solid state and tube amps, and for vastly different use cases. I use a small 7-watt tube amp for my studio setup, and it does has a much different feel and tone than any of my emulators or solid state amps. Although amp sims and cab IRs are getting incredibly good these days, there’s just that inimitable magical spark that tube amps have. There’s also nothing quite like a maxed tube amp, which has so-called power amp distortion.

On the other hand, tube amps are a PIA and are prone to having those delicate tubes shake their innards apart if jostled the wrong way, not to mention their backbreaking heft. Therefore I use a solid state/modeler amp on stage, because of far better reliability, weight reduction, and versatility. Now there are even pedal amps, with class D power amps built in, so guitarists need only bring their pedalboard and maybe a cab. But when it comes to recording, most studios are still gonna prefer genuine, preferably vintage, tube amps.

Nobody really gives a shit about your tone on stage anyway.
This is what I want. A standard 48VDC socket would be a game changer for lighting.

Heck, with such a standard you could have 120VAC -> 48VDC converters and you'd be in the same position we are today with Leds, only better because you'd just have to replace the converter and not the whole bulb.
Does AGI care about preserving a particular version of itself?

Do dumb humans kill themselves solely on the basis that they can shift the ratio of smart humans higher?

AGI may have a goal of preserving the species without having the goal of preserving the self, this is not the case for humans.
The “how is this related to HN?” is the most boring category of comment on HN. If it wasn’t of interest to our demo and was mostly producing flamewars it would be quickly flagged off the frontpage.

We don’t need heavy handed moderation to determine what’s relevant to HN, like Reddit pretends it needs. The community does a good job and the mods step in when necessary.

And if HN occasionally doesn’t flag stuff and it bothers you then don’t click on it. We don’t always get it right.
You inspired me to find out if it was good at answering your question because it's something it may have seen before, so I thought I'd be more cheeky:

Q: provide the code for an http server in python that exposes a "hello world" method over SOAP with document/literal encoding

A: Here is an example of an HTTP server in Python that exposes a "hello world" method over SOAP with document/literal encoding:

from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
from urllib.parse import quote, unquote
from io import BytesIO
import xml.sax.saxutils as saxutils

class HelloWorldHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_POST(self):
content_length = int(self.headers['Content-Length'])
content = self.rfile.read(content_length)
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/xml; charset=UTF-8')
self.send_header('Content-encoding', 'document')
self.end_headers()

# Parse the SOAP request
request = BytesIO(content)
soap_request = request.getvalue()
request.close()

# Call the "hello world" method
response = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<response>\n <result>Hello, World!</result>\n</response>\n'
response = saxutils.escape(response)

# Send the SOAP response
self.wfile.write(saxutils.escape(response))
return

def run(server_class=HTTPServer, handler_class=HelloWorldHandler, port=8080):
server_address = ('', port)
httpd = server_class(server_address, handler_class)
print(f'Starting httpd on port {port}...')
httpd.serve_forever()

if __name__ == '__main__':
run()

To use this code, simply run the script in the terminal and open a web browser to the following URL: http://localhost:8080/soap/helloWorld

---END CHAT---

A+ for variable naming again, nice job knowing about the `do_POST`, F for `content-encoding: document`, D for sending the byte array through BytesIO for no damn good reason, and F--- for saxutils.escaping the outgoing XML (we'll set aside the bogus invocation instructions because I didn't ask it for that, it just ... volunteered?)
DopperAI is a tool for adding memory and knowledge to large language models
The "G" in GPT stands for Generative, as in a Generative model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_model

So yes it is creative.

I asked GPT-4 if it is creative. Response:

"A generative model, like GPT-4, can be considered creative in the sense that it generates new content based on the patterns and knowledge it has acquired during its training. It can produce seemingly novel outputs in response to a wide range of inputs. However, it's important to note that its creativity is not the same as human creativity.

The generative model's outputs are based on the patterns it has observed in the data it was trained on, meaning it doesn't have a personal sense of creativity or originality. Instead, it learns to mimic the creativity it has seen in the data. The outputs are creative to the extent that they combine and recombine existing knowledge in new and potentially interesting ways.

So, while a generative model can produce creative outputs, it doesn't possess creativity in the same way humans do, as it lacks intention, consciousness, and the ability to truly understand the meaning behind its creations."

I'll take twice impeached and likely only not convicted of the second impeachment by way of McConnell running the clock out then claiming that as a technicality as to why they couldn't proceed.
I'd like to see that theory tested in court. Section D3 of the terms says:

> If you upload Content that already comes with a license granting GitHub the permissions we need to run our Service, no additional license is required.

https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

and section D4 does not mention any permissions that GPLv3 does not already cover. GitHub automatically recognizes when a repo is GPLv3-licensed, so it cannot claim ignorance of what GPLv3 is.
What's the status quo?
Quick sort is a terrible test case as it will have numerous training data examples of this exact concept
Have you tried asking GPT-4 to convert the code now, without examples? Or with just a few examples?
This is extremely interesting and I will keep it for later! I think the engine is a perfect analogy for what makes language models exciting. At the time nobody would have realized that it would power trains or factories... it's just this huge inefficient dirty machine that gets water out of the coal mine. Let alone realize that given better fuel, they would become small and cheap enough to power strange futuristic personal devices like lawn mowers and cars.
Showing ads isn’t enough. You need to count as impressions to bill advertisers and convince them to trust the impression data coming from third party clients.
> At the same time there is a different dimension to jailing political leaders, which is why Nixon was pardoned.

Nixon was pardoned, but he also resigned and quit politics.

Political leaders are easy to replace, which means that the bar for replacing them should be low. If a leader is accused with crimes and the charges seem plausible enough, they are expected to resign to avoid a divisive trial. Similarly, unless the charges are particularly serious, the other side is expected to pardon the accused. Then the former leader is expected to quit politics and stop being a problem.

This all happens, because political leaders are supposed to care about national interests. Granting a disgraced leader a dignified exit and a chance for a peaceful retirement is often a good idea, as long as the former leader agrees to remain a former leader. On the other hand, pardoning active politicians is about as bad idea as anything can be. That way you get entitled leaders who consider themselves above the law.
Huh that's not the precedent it sets at all, it asks presidents to become Caesar or risk Annihilation
Having tried to get ChatGPT to flirt, and kind of managed to get it to flirt, yeah it’s got a really strong habit of trying to tell you it can’t do stuff. One of the funniest moments of the “FlirtBot” experiment was when it said something mildly enticing to open a topic of conversation, including some extremely tame innuendo, apologised for being so sexual because it’s an AI (typical phrasing and words we’ve all seen) and then proceeded to follow that with some hilariously bad 90s chat room type text… I was bracing for it to spit out “a/s/l” as I watched the text appear.

Im going to try a comparison with the larger LLaMA models once I’ve got them downloaded and setup. 64GB on an M1 means I should be able to try the larger (but unfortunately not the largest) models to see how different the results are.
I get the feeling that graphical programming is the tooling problem.

The fundamental issue is that diff on textual code has no equivalent in a visual paradigm that doesn't have side effects - one example is that color often has meaning in visual systems, and thus is hard to use for showing differences.

I'd love to be proven wrong around this though.
Why? Prosecutors have discretion. Doesn’t mean the indictment is illegitimate.

I am also in my early 30s and noticed the reverse. I can now understand more complex subjects (like advanced probability or functional programming) that I had trouble conceptualizing when I was younger. I am not sure if it's the age factor or the fact that I have been exposed to other things and the bigger picture is becoming clearer.

My own advice would be to not do anything you won't be doing now. There is no "smarter" being. A fish is smarter than you in the ocean but I don't think that's the kind of smart you want. If you want to improve your "global" smartness or understanding, then try to explore other languages.

You can, for example, learn Arabic or Chinese. Learning Spanish is cool but if you only speak English you have been already exposed to a latin language. You can, for another example, learn Rust if you have been programming with Python/TypeScript. If you have been focused on programming for your entire career, another useful thing you can learn is psychology.

Notice all my advice converge to the same idea: learn a new way to communicate.

I happen to have a high IQ, and people are definitely intimidated by anyone with a large vocabulary and encyclopaedic knowledge of and skill in various professional fields. It’s a social curse that intelligent people live with every day. Judging by the current panic, people have similar feelings towards advanced AI too. But hey, the thing is just talking to you; you can always just ignore it and walk away.

I don't think it's that the charge is "weak," necessarily. This would have been a huge charge for someone in Trump's political position 10 or 20 years ago. Even today, pretty much any other politician would have their career destroyed for either one of the things he's being accused of by itself: sleeping with a porn star or gross misuse of campaign funds.

For me, it's more that these crimes he's accused of really pale in comparison to other things we've seen Trump say and do, like the two things he was impeached for.

The demo scenes were all from what is in the Examples/ folder. I am working on getting the 3D assets hosted somewhere (some people made some suggestions in this thread I am going to try) and once that is done people will be able to render all the demo scenes locally. All the assets are either from graphics research samples such as Sponza or Bistro or they were CC licensed on a different site such as Sketchfab. I would have tried Quixel Megascans too but I think you have to buy a subscription.

"Even if that’s the case, is there a huge amount of work to integrate existing models/scenes into your engine?"

It uses the Assimp library which allows it to support things like .obj, .fbx and .gltf. Usually what I do is export from Blender to gltf and ask it to export the textures separately rather than pack them into the binary. Most assets that were designed with metallic-roughness in mind either work immediately or with minimal changes. In my own testing the most frequent things I had to change were if normal maps were inverted (fix by flipping the green channel in photoshop) or if the model exporter set all the metallic values to maximum due to missing data (fix by loading the metallic or metallic-roughness maps in photoshop and flipping metallic channel from max to 0).
Many Americans see themselves as rebels. Funny thing is many of the most vociferous so-called rebels are nothing more than bullies and aggressors. People who already hold most of the power, and are "rebelling" only at the fact that their victims are starting to struggle a bit under their grip.

There's nothing "rebellious" about being a wealthy real estate baron and casino owner. And nothing "rebellious" about supporting him, either. It's rather, kind of the opposite.
I guess my question is more like

did he or did he not incite an insurrection on January 6th? there was an entire committee about it. he did, right? ok... so... not indicted, got it, moves slowly

did he have classified documents when he shouldn't have? yes. not indicted

did he do something wrong in regards to votes in georgia? yes. not indicted

i guess i just don't get it shrug it's as if like... based on the fact that he hasn't been indicted, you can conclude... he didn't do anything illegal, because if he did, he'd be indicted, right?

> Tube amps used in creating music usually have a distinctive sound. Fender Twin Reverb and Ampeg SVT are but two of the many tube amps with a distinctive sound. Solid state amps typically have a very different sound.

It's worth noting: The nonlinearities in the tube amps are very different from the solid-state amps. So the right thing to compare it to is one of the newer digital sims with an appropriate IR response, scanned over different input strengths to simulate the nonlinearities.

And I say this as someone with a 70s vintage Fender Twin Reverb: The emulators are really good.
The reason you're not seeing much difference is that your struct is very small, just 16 bytes. In the cases where you're using both x and y in the loop (x1 and x2), you can fit 4 of them in a cache line and you're not wasting space since you need to use both. In the case you're only using one of the values (x3), you're wasting half a cache line and that shows in the benchmark. If you had a bigger struct and/or where you're not using all the members in the calculation, you'd see a much bigger difference in performance between SoA and AoS.
Thanks! It was pretty fun but also difficult and definitely a learning experience.
Some, maybe. But I think most buyers won't ever own a turntable.

Tell Blizzard about it. With WoW "classic", they are literally selling the same series of games... twice. You thought loot boxes were the cash king, these guys are on a whole other level.

Yeah would you roll back the smaller bubble and propagate the larger one? Try and merge them? What happens with 3 bubbles? Is the worst case here much worse than single threaded?

At the moment there are some weird nuances around update order based on world location and direction that the more technical players have learnt to work with/around for the most part.

> If Google were specifically going to ChatGPT to get its output and train off of it

But (correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think anyone anywhere is claiming that's what happened. The claim was just that Google looked into using existing chats that it scraped from another website.

Edit: realizing you're probably replying specifically to the question I asked, "and what even is the penalty of that TOS violation and how enforceable is it?" In which case, yeah, that's a decent clarification to add, sorry for pushing back on it.
I clicked it so you wouldn't need to:

Well some SaaS purists may believe that to be true about Microsoft Office 365. Hence we have, Microsoft Office 2021.

I honestly don't understand how this would be different than using slack (perhaps with text-to-speech). The marginal added benefit of async voice (as opposed to text) chat just doesn't seem that compelling (and in many ways seems significantly worse, like the inability to search). Certainly not enough to add another comms tool to the pile. But maybe I'm missing something.
