As a foreword: I am absolutely not an expert on the topic.

If theory of computation has taught us anything, is that complexity very quickly outgrows everything that is even in the grasp of mathematics (e.g. busy beaver).

I just don’t think that a model that fundamentally can only take a fixed number of steps will ever make the jump. A human in theory can “go into a loop” and let’s say apply the same rules ad infinity, which is simply a must to most interesting problems. So - I guess GPT-4 can reason on the “trivial” degree simply by “caching” the output of the real algorithm, but that doesn’t scale at all.

And you missed my point.

Yes, calculators do that. I'm arguing that "AI" does not let programmers write better code faster. It lets them write worse code faster, or better code slower.

The problem is finding the $1200 windows machine that feels valuable and worth it after four years; it's hard to find one that has the "build quality" if you will. Maybe people with the Surface are pleased with it still, that looked pretty nice.
I fully agree with you. Someone suggested the only way for Ukraine is to became another Israel, focusing on external and internal security, and developing a strong arms industry so that they can protect themselves efficiently with the help of the West.

Still, it's much easier to protect oneself against Hamas' handcrafted rockets than Russian Kinzhals...
To be even more specific the phrase is most associated with the dirty war and Argentina’s military dictatorship and their habit of taking people they didn’t like up in helicopters and pushing them out a few miles off shore into the ocean. They just vanished without a trace.

They were called los desaparecidos (“the disappeared”) and for years once a week their mothers would silently carry photos of them and walk in circles at the Plaza De Mayo in Buenos Aires.

Probably for this statement:

> FWIW, macs are high quality and last a long time.

and subsequently for this flamey statement:

> You would think more folks on HN would be happy about long lasting products but the anti-apple bias is strong enough to override the concern of having a more sustainable product.

FWIW, it seems like you got incredibly lucky. In recent years, I've been through the following MacBooks:

- 2013 MB (Glorious, ran forever, needed more RAM and speed)

- 2016 MBP (bad keyboard, then rapid battery expansion)

- 2018 MBP (battery expansion, then logic board failure)

- 2019/2020 MBP (logic board failure)

- M1 MBP 13" (nothing, it's running beautifully.)

IIRC, all of the above failures happened just outside of the warranty period. For personal MacBooks, I will no longer go without AppleCare+. The risk of failure and accidental damage is too great.

We have an org with thousands of MBPs with similar experiences. It got bad enough that discussions were had about switching staff to Chromebooks or Windows laptops. (Chromebooks didn't meet requirements and Windows laptops are even worse for hardware and software reasons)

All of these devices basically sat on a desk in a ~68F office most of the time.

And your primary care physician did the correct thing which was to scan your arteries for damage. Also statins work by helping over a long period of time - so chances are if you are good with the sides (if you have sides) and you have a bunch of risk factors makes a lot of sense. Not a physician FWIW.
This idea ("make a stronger license") has come up in previous discussions of Copilot as well[0].

The problem is that the Copilot project doesn't claim to be abiding by the license(s) of the ingested code. The reply to licensing concerns was that licensing doesn't apply to their use. So unfortunately they would just claim they could ignore your hypothetical Free³ license as well.

The scenarios you’re describing don’t need fast and low latency connection. Banking and government function can easily be done using traditional satellite, 4G or even dial up modem.

As for remote work, I have to question the decisions of someone that moves to an area without connection to the electricity grid and expects to do remote work from there. IMHO they are putting them self into an extreme scenario which shouldn’t be accommodated for, neither by government nor private enterprise.

You may bring up rural communities that have been neglected for decades as a counterpoint here. To that, I go to ancestor post and state, that those communities deserve traditional infrastructure, paid for from our common funds, not to be forced into a magic solution from a startup looking to make money from them.

Plus some other stuff.

Here in Mexico Apple products are around 20-25% more expensive than in the US which is way higher than simply adding the 16% VAT.

Not only that, in the US it's common to have Apple sales in multiple retailers like BH etc. These are almost non existent here in Mexico. The best we get is some meager discount at Costco for the models nobody wants.
Let's fix this by taking the superlative out of the title. I've done so now.

The trouble with reacting to provocations like this, even if the indignation is genuine (it's basically always genuine) is that it leads to much less interesting discussions.

I don't disbelieve you, but I'm saying your experience can't be generalized in that way. Only aggregate data can tell us these things. Your experience may well have followed the exact trajectory you've described, but maybe 90% of people see the opposite.

Yeah -- I was disappointed that he didn't show an example of a maze which is not solved by water (for a finite amount of head). I most often experience this phenomenon is when I'm putting the garden hoses away for the winter when you want all the water out of them. However, if they tend to curl up, then you can get into the state where the water won't come out of the hose once some air gets in. The only solution is to straighten them out.

> I suspect the reasoning is getting overwhelmed by the prior data.

No, the reasoning is the prior data. Thought experiment: GPT-4, but the training data contains no puzzles of this kind. How well would it do?

> Try it again, but this time make up nonsense words for the three items.

Seconded. I also would like to see the results of this experiment.
If GPT4 were given this whole thread as an input, it might reasonably be expected to predict a message that is a reply to a particular comment in the thread and presents a relevant and coherent argument based on the priors and "personality" encoded somewhere in its huge parameter space.

Sure, LLMs are not inherently goal-oriented. But that doesn't mean they fundamentally cannot exhibit goal-oriented behavior if either prompted or trained to do so. And if we remove the "one-off" restriction and allow the retention of some sort of an efficiently encoded state between invocations, who knows what might happen?

----

EDIT: Tried this with ChatGPT (GPT-4) and a subset of this thread, and the results are pretty good, even though the tree structure was lost in translation (simple copypaste). Certainly its thoughts of the differences and similarities between token-prediction and reasoning are more informed than those of many human commenters. It's also able to seamlessly include references to other comments, for instance (it deduced that "dougwmne" was the nickname of the comment author by itself):

> Additionally, it's worth noting that GPT-4's ability to interact with novel systems, as mentioned by dougmwne, might indicate some form of generalization and adaptation capabilities. Although it may not possess the same kind of reasoning as humans, it demonstrates an ability to understand and apply new information in a useful manner. This could be considered a form of reasoning, albeit a different and less sophisticated one than humans possess.

My prompt was:

> Here is an excerpt from a Hacker News discussion about GPT-4 and whether it can do reasoning. Write a comment that contributes to the discussion, either by bringing up a new idea or deduction, or by replying to another comment and arguing for or against it. You can quote another comment by prefixing it with ">".

Is there anyone who still wants to work at facebook at this point? The company that is laying off thousands, that has wasted billions on a metaverse that no one wants, not to mention one that has helped rip apart the fabric of society? And now doesn’t want you working from home? Is it really worth the money at this point?
I would recommend getting an account and simply testing it directly. It's fairly easy to demonstrate that it operates at a conceptual level and is not merely predicting word probabilities in a simplistic way.

A good example with GPT is to watch it do complex math. There are simply too many permutations of math solutions for it to have ever memorized, and it can easily explain its process and the path it took to arrive at a solution.

Another good set of tests are ones around theory of mind, complex deduction problems and missing information, etc. A good source of information about the precise capabilities of GPT-4 is the Microsoft Sparks paper, which goes into a good number of tests MS researchers put the model to.

Maybe it could have lasted 4 years, but you had to choose carefully.

I've worked at orgs that used a variety of expensive windows laptops, because they kept having abysmal failure rates and switching every year.

They already had stacks of failed Surface Books and ASUS Zenbooks.

Maybe my HP Elitebook would have lasted, but it was terrible to use the whole time.

Not that my Mac experience has been flawless, but the odds seem to be far better.

The only ones worth watching, IMO, are the folks who basically experience a temporary change in personality due to the heat. And the (surprisingly few) that completely bail. Like if anyone somehow still has respect for DJ Khaled, just go watch his episode.
Or you know, maybe they like that it has an improved camera, better battery life (eg. after switching from Intel to Apple Silicon), larger color space which allows them to edit photos better, or the laptop got better speakers, or the laptop became more thin, or added support for fast charging, or maybe many crappy Electron apps makes them update more regularly? People can have all kinds of good reasons to update their laptop.

That said, I know plenty of Mac users who upgrade maybe every 4 or 5 years.
After the last five years of MacOS releases I have no idea why I would buy a Mac. The software is Windows levels of garbage. At this point I honestly think GNU/Linux is the best desktop operating system. I don't care about the hardware when the OS is straight up trash. They even broke decades old keyboard shortcuts. This is Digg levels of self-ownage. At this point Apple is anti-user and especially anti-developer. They finally got rid of Ives, I hope they do the same for whoever tanked their software direction. I hope Musk does to Apple the same he did for Twitter. Burn it down.
It goes beyond "preference" we have State Dept officials on tape having a conversation where they're hand picking the Ukrainian cabinet. Again, imagine what the US would do if we had a tape of Chinese officials picking out the top officials of Mexico. There is no way to paint the US as innocent here.
Counterpoint: one thing I think AI will be able to do really well early on is refactoring.

Code is often ugly because humans just don't have the time to make it look nice. But if I had a good AI tool, I could make my code beautiful.

This is hardly the first time humans have invented a tool to make complicated tasks easy. The sweet spot has always been knowing how to use the tools to maximize your productivity, but also knowing how to do it the hard way too in case something breaks.
Creating new knowledge would be good start yes. Observe a problem, state some conjectures, try falsifying, and come up with good explanations. Repeat this to learn and update knowledge over time. If that process works it is hard to see what else is left.
Remember that if they are starting to get near capacity limits, they always have the option to make the antennas on the satellite larger, making the beams narrower, and reduce those 300 sq km cells down to say 30 sq km.

In the current era of phased array antenna prices falling sharply, and assuming they're willing to go for a folding antenna, I think they could probably easily get a 10x antenna area boost without much extra cost.

The other possibility is EU member states and investigating it would further inflame internal tensions in an already tense time and erode support for the war effort. There are many many possibilities - which is why the version you are putting forward is labelled a conspiracy theory until otherwise proven.
It isn’t clear if SOE debt should be considered public or private debt. On the one hand, these are often publicly traded companies, in the other hand everyone assumes their debt is implicitly guaranteed by the government. Localities will often load up local SOEs with debt when they need to do something for public interest, like build a subway or road. So China’s public debt situation is really murky.

I'd really like MPGe ratings in reviews. Telling me the range and mileage has this info somewhat, but having the actual efficiency rating on display would be so much more interesting, would make such a key figure-of-merit visible to consumers.

361mi / 77.4kWh * 33.4g/kWh comes to 156mpge, which is significantly above Tesla's highest efficiency 132mpge Model 3 RWD. 53kWh and 240mi lower spec came out similar.

Last, 1.9kW 120V AC on board isn't bad. Do wish the review had mentioned that explicitly instead of making me dig as this is another figure-of-merit for these vehicles, and a pretty easy one to tackle & improve to be honest.
Furthermore I don't see any fundamental difference between the two cases. In the second case it has access to a larger set of information with the correct data so it finds the correct answer. It can be still parroting, we could have been parroting ourselves for all our lives and parrots might not be parroting at all. Who knows.
Can't disagree but the biggest target of his demographics argument is always East Asia, and the numbers there are truly dismal. S. Korea's latest numbers were 0.78. I really don't know how a population can ever recover from that
Yes you are right that are a kind of threat response but not personal threat as much as general threat. There is a great danger that because of the name AI and the general association that we have with computers as giving correct result, People will (and are already) attribute meaning and "correctness" where there is none. This is nothing like UFOs or EmDrives because those come from fallible humans and this would come from the "infallible AI". What is wrong with describing it for what it is, a stochastic predictive model?

Human brains are known to create "meaning" where there is none and with a perfectly created sentence they will assign meaning (reasoning in this case) where there is none.

One week ago there was a case of a man (in Belgium) who "sacrificed" himself because the AI chatBot convinced him that there was no solution to Enviornment problem. He assigned meaning ("Even the AI could not find a way out") where the chatbot was just parroting what it was reading in the media.
Note that in this case both the general media and the AI give the same "result"=no hope, but as long as it was in the general media, he was still hopeful that humans just couldn't find it whereas the AI convinced him.

You may diregard this as an extreme example but we have the general tendency to attribute correctnes to everything "computable". If I can trust the calculator that was created to do math why should I not trust the AI that is created to do Reasoning? People need to be aware that there is no reasoning behind it.
It’s usually just about maintaining and increasing power. And warning others by demonstrating it too.
IIRC the mylobot botnet is responsible for providing the vast majority of residential (home) IP addresses for residential VPN providers (who are then sold to expressvpn/nordvpn). The whole business is incredibly shady and nefarious and nordvpn/expressvpn must know from whom they contract their residential vpn services from.

BHProxies is the largest residential proxy provider on the internet and almost all of their proxies are acquired through the botnet above.

A lot of negative comments on this and there are no references provided, however some human traits are well-understood:

* people irrationally tend to add rather than remove complexity to solve problems

* experts' decision accuracy improves faster with more information than their personal evaluation of / comfort with those decisions

* people asked to evaluate the contents of a picture repeatedly while being shown increasingly faithful renderings who are shown worse (unusable) renderings of the picture to begin with are slower to reach an accurate evaluation overall

As a general observation on medical care, Team USA has been slow to adopt the practice of weighing absorbent materials during procedures including childbirth to measure blood / fluid loss and this has had measurable, negative outcomes for patients.
I like the styling of both Ionics (and the Kia EV6). It's not surprising that being electric can influence some design choices - shorter bonnet, more cabin space, etc. Also when you say "weird" consider the old Nissan Leafs - those looked awful. It seems like things are looking up.

(I think the Aptera takes the idea that an EV can be something much different to a much higher level than Hyundai does and I like what Aptera has come up with - probably will be the most efficient vehicle in production if it makes it into production)
Great job humans. Keep encouraging more daily commuters and contributing to greenhouse gases instead of making things better through technology. I am sure the next generations will thank us for this and not even showing the willpower to look at the issue objectively. /s

I saved myself about a £1000 buying a refurbished last years' M1 MBP with 16GB RAM & 1TB disk vs. getting the M2 brand new.

A 16GB with 1TB storage laptop shouldn't cost £2700. I really do think Apple are pricing themselves out of most markets.
Rectifying diodes also have limitations for how much reverse voltage they can block. When I fiddled with circuitry I was surprised how low that could be for cheap rectifiers. It sank some of my naive designs.

Real circuits can have transistors or resettable fuses to handle out-of-spec situations and shut down.
