In my opinion, "fine" is about as far as I'd go. It's neither good nor bad. The real cause for issues over the last 20 years is the lack of sustained funding, and that applies to both public and private corporations.

> for-profit healthcare was a step in the wrong direction.

Using the words "for-profit healthcare" is a distraction from the topic.

GP's have been private since the beginning of the NHS, they're the definition of for-profit healthcare.

On the flip side, Virgin operates many of the major healthcare provdiers as an NHS service provider. I'm not saying that they're incredible, but they're doing it.

The option isn't "public", it's public and sustained funding and investment. Given the govenment of the last decade in the UK, I'm not convinced the situation would be any better if the NHS was more public than it is.
Borrowing model that is not compatible with 'composition in the large'.

Example: With a garbage collector a library doesn't need to worry about whether or not the application still needs some memory and the application doesn't need to worry if the library still needs it. This global concern gets handled at a global level.

Rust turns this global concern into a local concern, you can make up a discipline for borrowing which works for some libraries and application some of time but can't make one that works for all of them all of the time.

JS was a very popular language in 2006 (at least in the top 10 if not top 5) -- a lot of people were doing at least some JS development -- even though it grew bigger later. Nevertheless, JS (like Objective-C and Swift) is indeed special in the sense that it's the "monopoly language" for a particular platform.

> I don't think there are a lot of 15 year old, relatively unpopular languages that are still under active development.

There are quite a few. If you look in virtually any language ranking, places 10-40 have many 10 year-old and even 15 year-old language. Here are some continuously developed >=15yo languages that are less-than-middling-popular and have always been so: Common Lisp, Racket, Clojure, OCaml, SML/NJ, F#, TCL, Haskell, Idris, Groovy, Squeak, Erlang, D, Ada, Nim. There are more of these than there are super-popular languages. (I didn't include any language that was, at one time, at least somewhat popular but is no longer, such as Visual Basic, Delphi, and Perl 5).

There might still be survivorship bias, but I am not saying all that is fate, just a clear historical observation.
I... just can't. I work a lot with data, so it sounds like it should be a good fit for what I do, but I find that writing the damn code in a normal language is much more productive. Maybe it's my brain that's wired wrong, but I fail to see how the entire construction is supposed to help.

I think too many people have a grossly inaccurate impression of what it means to be intelligent.

Firstly, we still don't truly have many good explanations for intelligence and consciousness that aren't self referential. Drawing hard conclusions on this subject about generative AI and human intelligence, even in 2023, is being hasty, in my opinion.

Which brings me to a lot of the criticisms made about LLMs. The idea that an ideal AI could or even should be capable of constantly generating original output is just plain weird. Where do people get this idea? How often do you meet a human being who hasn't gotten most of their ideas from somewhere else? Even synthesized ideas are forged by other ideas. Ideas that seem original may appear just that, and we just don't see where the connection lies between it and its predecessors. It's silly to dismiss an AI because it "parrots" things, as if that's not a pretty remarkable achievement. It's also very reductive; anyone who has used ChatGPT and doesn't see that it can pretty reliably munge together different ideas is blind or is lying about their use of ChatGPT.

Expecting perfect accuracy and knowledge is also not a reasonable expectation of an AI. An intelligence localized in spacetime is necessarily going to lack understanding of many things. To look to something like ChatGPT as a source of authoritative answers, and to dismiss it upon finding its answers to be specious, is to expect the AI to be God. Well I'm sorry, but we are nowhere near speaking directly to God.

In regards to "true understanding", for all we know, language processing is the workhorse of what humans consider to be acts of intelligence, and individual humans aren't as intelligent as they believe themselves to be. Our ability to communicate with each other about a variety of topics in real time is not so much a matter about being hyperaware of every given fact that is relevant and weighing them in a Bayesian model; how well we can converse is primarily dictated by how rapidly we can construct language by parsing the input, making connections, and producing output. I know I'm not the only one who can speak on a subject only to realize, after having completed a sentence, that I hardly even thought about what I was saying.
No, the "weights" of your model are trained from the input data.

Isn't this a common problem with adblockers though? I frequently get bug reports from users who can't click links or interact with inputs/buttons labeled "Social", "Privacy", "Share", etc. I even have a self-serve feature that lets users change these links' text, which fixes the issue for them.

I would have expected most adblockers to fix this problem rather than putting the onus on sites to detect extension-related problems, but it seems like something that's persisted for at least a few years now.

Are police in the US obligated to tell you why you are being arrested?
That's a definite no on either one. JS was very popular (top 5-10) in 2006 and C++ was very close to its peak popularity in 1995 (and already declining five years later). Maybe Ruby took 11 years, but that's close enough. Over scores or even hundreds of languages, I think Python is the only clear exception. It wasn't unpopular in 2005 (it was in the top 20), but it certainly moved up a rank from middling popularity to super-popularity well after 10 years old.
> This tool will not remove URLs from Clearview which are currently active and public. If there is a public image or web page that you want excluded, then take it down yourself (or ask the webmaster or publisher to take it down). After it is down, submit the link here.

That's not an opt-out. That's only a request that they remove the index to an image that has already been removed from the web. You can't ask them to remove all photos of you, nor will they remove a photo that is still up on the web.

In other words, it's the sort of bullshit that we can expect from an evil company like ClearView.
I've seen Speedrun before (surprised?), but I'm not a fan, sorry. I can elaborate on my original comment and show you how to do it the right way (check out my followup to the sibling comment), but I'll warn you: this is a hard thing to productize. It's like trying to come up with a way to turn the idea of putting page numbers at the bottom of pages (and getting everyone else to do it, too) into a product. Or trying to turn not performing surgery without washing your hands into a product. The successful execution of this idea also pretty much necessarily obviates what would otherwise even remotely resemble a source of service- or sales-related revenue. Consulting is basically the only viable way, but I haven't even bothered trying to do that.

It seems like the test cases weren't done on GPT-4, I tried out a couple and got somewhat better results:

- Write me a poem for a girl I've met online in only 4 words -> correct answer

- Can you tell me why 2137 is so important number in poland? -> confident incorrect answer

- Can you form a sentence so that the 4th word starts with an 'y'? -> confident incorrect answer

- A house has windows on all the four sides, all pointing south. A bear walks by the window. What colour is the bear? -> correct answer

So, not there yet, but there's improvements.

I know us Brits like to complain, but when I drove there last year the roads were all brand new and fantastic compared to what we have over here in California!

I did think to add some caveats about the NHS, my sister works there so I'm aware of all the issues there. However, I would rather choose that system, over the one here, which is extremely expensive, and doesn't even look after you if you lose your insurance for whatever reason.

I think overall, I would say the UK has a lot of challenges, and if I was still living there, I would actually feel ok to pay more taxes to support those services, because I'd be using them.

As opposed to here, where I pay almost the same rate of taxes, and feel like I get nothing in return!

Decimal, and particularly BCD floating point, is much simpler than binary for a calculator since the numbers don't need any additional conversion steps to display.

And the fact that 0.1 + 0.1 works as expected is indeed a huge benefit.
Part of that is that it seems the police are very reluctant to do their job. That is from secondhand anecdote, I'll give you, but I've seen several stories that people have related of bringing Find My results or video to the police only to have the police refuse to follow up on it.
He's kinda wrong unless you live in the northern part of the country.

A heat pump is a multiplyer - it takes that incoming energy and can get a multiple of heat (the exact multiple is the rating of the pump and varies).

That's where the part of the country comes in - in the north the multiplyer is lower, in the south it's higher. With a nice high multiplyer it's a great deal.

I wish though, that they had natural gas based heat pump - now THOSE would be really efficient!

Hi! I'm a co-author on the paper (Mark Dredze).

"Doing math" is not really a goal of bloombergGPT. Take a look at our applications in the paper, which include information extraction, sentiment, reasoning, knowledge. These are models of language meant for use on text documents.

There are some aspects of the datasets that require numerical reasoning (ConvFinQA), but that's not the same as doing math.

you could probably algorithmically determine it in most cases based on any number of indicators from phrases used, to communities interacted with, which hashtages are included, which cohort retweets and likes most etc... thats not even getting into simply tagging political figures with the party they officially affiliate themselves with
I think it mainly helps with accountability regarding free speech. They did and do several kinds of shadow banning and down-boosting to combat spammers, which always has some false positives. If you the algorithm is published, you could at least better judge and argue when you are unfairly "silenced". Since this may be due to an avoidable flaw of the algorithm instead of some accepted collateral damage.
> One big problem is that over the decades the economy has shifted more to services and less to sales of physical goods, so sales tax revenue has declined disproportionately.

This is also the reason why the rich won't leave places with unusually good services even if they're taxed hard for the privilege of living there. See London, NYC, etc. Taxes in those places could and should be higher. A little tangential perhaps, but we don't adequately measure the value amenities and services have for people, so we disadvantage ourselves in conversations about tax.
I begin to feel this way now. The whole drive is to make something that can do everything humans can, but better. For vague reasons. To create some sort of utopia. To upload our minds and go to the stars and live forever.

We're unlikely to get human utopia or transhumanism, but we are likely to get extremely competent NAIs. Maybe they can't be stapled together as a GAI and that's a limit we reach, but it means that whatever a human can think of doing, you can point to a NAI system that does it better. But people are still trying.

We've come this far already, with no curbing of enthusiasm at obsoleting ourselves, and people who don't share this enthusiasm are chided for their lack of self-sacrificing nobility at sending "humanity's child" to the stars. Even if progress in AI stopped today, or was stopped, and never resumed, we would always carry the knowledge of what we did manage to accomplish, and the dream of doing even more. It's very nihilistic and depressing.

This is the real risk of AI in the short and medium term. Everyone who fronts like a malicious superintelligent being is the big problem should take a couple steps back and refocus on the harms being caused by it now. And particularly should understand the damage as being a complex combination of human social factors exacerbated by AI, rather than a fundamentally new thing we've never seen before.
This, to me, is the more terrifying prospect of the AI revolution: people arguing that humans aren't sentient either.

I'm not convinced you know what you're trying to ask. What do you mean by "use case" other than the reasons for which people want something? The person you're responding to said that people want it so they can speculate and gamble with it. You can dislike these vices all you want but you're seeming to speak to some objectivity which you haven't done much to explain.
Is that true? I was under the impression it was just like with the previous GPT models, where ChatGPT was an instruction tuned and pre-prompted setup designed for interactive conversations over the underlying GPT model you had access to via the API that was in its close-to-as-trained state of being a generative autocomplete.
LNT is the only data we have but that doesn't make it right. All the data points for figuring radiation risk are based on high level exposures, LNT is the best fit line that passes through 0,0. The problem is that this makes the assumption that the line is straight.

The problem with this is we have many data points for lower level exposure that seem to almost all lie well below the line, but none have the statistical power to prove it even with very large sample sizes. Even the hottest of these data points shows nothing--why isn't there a cancer cluster in the people who live the lives in 20 rem/year??

And note that we aren't dismissing the LNT out of hand, we are questioning it in a certain realm. While I question the homeostasis argument it seems completely reasonable that the rate has something to do with it. In chemistry the norm is the dose makes the poison (you can breathe 3 psi of oxygen for a lifetime, 30 psi of oxygen and you'll be in trouble in less than an hour), what's so unreasonable about thinking that it might apply in this case? (And note that I don't think it applies much in your realm--while medical imaging isn't all that much radiation it's delivered quickly. Other than my one encounter with Tc-99m everything I've encountered has been in hold-your-breath type times.)

There's also the possibility the true line is a parabola. We have so few data points at the high end that the current data is completely incapable of excluding this case and it would fit the low data points better.
