If I'm not mistaken their opposition was on principle not whether it was needed or not. So the fact that we are in a new cold war era does not change that Equation.
The principle is still the same. The only way for this "change of mind" is if their opposition was due to "it's not needed because US has no rivals".
Or what most probably happened, they realised that if they want to keep workign on this field there is no escape from those kind of implications and They don't have the big bad wolf Google to blame anymore.
> Call it Slowhacker.

I like that name! In the same vein I wish there were a site Slownews with, say, weekly or biweekly summaries & in-depth analyses of what's happening in the world (politics, economics et cetera). Sure, lots of things are happening around the world all the time but most of them are just noise. And even if they're not noise and very relevant to me, it usually takes the media a day or two to go beyond the breaking-news!-I-have-no-idea-what's-happening-and-yet-I-am-reporting-about-it quality level and piece together everything into a coherent analysis. But, by that time, no one is spelling out the essential facts anymore because journalists silently assume you've been following the 24/7 news cycle all along.

But doing that just feels exhausting.
I don't get it, LEDs can be trivially modulated to MHz, why nixies? April fool?

I would imagine having a couple of FPGAs, toggling 7 segment LED displays can easily do the same thing.
To me it overstates what is achieved. This isn't AGI. Unsure how much the government would care about this.

Co Co is great in how much you can customize it. I always go for very spicy curry with potatoes and fried chicken on top.

Go Go is funny in that they list the calories of each meal in terms of rice balls. And some are like 10 rice balls! They used to have a world champion curry, limited to a few orders per day per store [1]. 2.5kg!

It's not Elixir, but you might be interested in F#'s active patterns, particularly the parameterized active patterns: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-ref...

F#'s active patterns allow you to extend the built-in pattern matching to other things, and in this case, you can have patterns that return regular expression matches.
I think the UK levels of spice are much lower than the US having been both places. Throw the pineapple chutney that I had at an Indian restaurant Bombay style in London plus summer was quite warm and delicious.

With all the drama surrounding newsrooms at odds with their penny pinching ownership, you'd think there would be more movements for the entire staff of a news agency to walk out entirely and just up and start a coop, working exactly as they were previously only without Tribune or whoever stepping on their neck. It's not like many are being paid great as it is so they wouldn't be taking much of an impact to their bottom line, plus over time maybe they'd end up making more with profit sharing agreements.

"Maps show how a lack of forward planning, well-structured free parking and public link-transport cause retroactively developed parking to be a commodity that is valued higher than a business sector nobody can drive to"

The rest of the world fixes this by banning cars in these areas, making it a nice place to be, providing out-of-town link-transport (eg Park & Ride) for people driving in.

The car is eating US cities but only because people don't have a better option.
What I’m afraid of is that he and Ilya are not as good and smart as they paint themselves.

And that a lot of key people had left (i.e. to Anthropic). And that by pure inertia they have GPT-5 on their hands and not much control over where this technology is going.

I can’t tell for certain, but it does look like one of their corner pieces, the ChatGPT system prompt which sits at the funnel of the data collection had degraded significantly from the previous version. Had the person that was the key to the previous design left? Or it no longer matters?

One could argue that OpenAI is very hot and everyone would want to work there. But a lot of newcomers only create more pressure for the key people. And then there is the inevitable leakage problem.
And then Russia invades Ukraine and people change their minds about what is important, and what is possible.
So the phase-out won't begin until 2024 at the earliest? Did I read that right? What was it previously, June 2023?

> We will provide sufficient migration time for developers - at least 6 months of heads-up - before beginning any experiments to turn off MV2 in the browser next year

So "next year" is 2023 or 2024?
Agreed, and also the particular mistakes AI will make seem so obvious and dumb to us. There is no way I would crash into emergency vehicles with flashing lights, ever. So intuitively AI is scary. But never mind that it also will avoid rear-ending people due to lack of attention, which is a very human mistake and much more frequent.
I strongly suspect that the impact of LLMs is overblown. Unless they suddenly are able to synthesize complex and ill-defined requirements that change over time, I don't expect their impact will be beyond novelty.
When Google killed Reader I stopped trusting them at that point as I realized they'd kill everything to maintain control. I hate GOOG nowadays and hope they become less influential on the internet.
I live in Texas. I have 2+ AirTags in my vintage, non-truck vehicle.

I don't know what the circumstances are of this story, whether there is alleged fault with the presumed owner, presumed thief, or both because I wasn't there.

If a presumed thief were to threaten imminent great bodily harm to prevent me from recovering my vehicle, there's not much choice.

To intend to actively use excessive force without an immediate threat would signal becoming a vigilante. The near total monopoly on violence must be delegated to the state to prevent feuds and inappropriate uses of force between non-state actors. (It also requires that the police use force judiciously and minimally.)
Sure, until you remember the hundreds of millions of people at whose expense those millionaires became such.
Hm, I wonder how much of the API’s performance is related to training/finetuning done by OpenAI planned towards the ChatGPT product. I think the RLHF is partly product design and partly engineering.

I'm not sure there is much point in encryption if the OS is used to protect the encryption keys the same way it is used to protect the data it is encrypting.
Honestly, the only thing I'm shocked by is Google joining the hypetrain. The rest of this nonsense doesn't surprise me one bit.

And I definitely noticed that having discussions around how this whole thing feels pretty bullshit leads to modern day Ray Kurzweils replying with "it's the early days, it'll improve exponentially over time".
The post title was changed to drop the "surprising". Not sure why?

Exactly: nothing. You can export your feeds and import them somewhere else.

Ditto on adding new feeds. I can never remember how to do it, and if I do, it doesn't work anymore.
Apologies for the tangent, it wasn't related to this thread. I've been in the habit of bookmarking predictions on HN to revisit them later, and your username caught my eye. I'm a bit surprised you maintain it, but the final verdict remains to be seen.

The only way to never contradict yourself is to never say anything.

It’s a capped-profit structure where excess profit will supposedly go back to the no-profit side. From a recent NYTimes article [1]:

> But these profits are capped, and any additional revenue will be pumped back into the OpenAI nonprofit that was founded back in 2015.

> His grand idea is that OpenAI will capture much of the world’s wealth through the creation of A.G.I. and then redistribute this wealth to the people. In Napa, as we sat chatting beside the lake at the heart of his ranch, he tossed out several figures — $100 billion, $1 trillion, $100 trillion.

How believable that is, who knows.

> I'm living with Feedly. Reluctantly.

FYI, there are a bunch of apps that sync with Feedly and that you can use as an alternate front end. NetNewsWire (Mac, iOS) is one example that's worth checking out, but there are many options that cover every OS.
> ...and so you need to validate its responses with secondary sources.

If you have to do that, what's the point?

And of course, few will actually double-check it. Easy is more important than correct.
> D&D is a really bad game for playing straight, gritty, serious.

Compared to the best non-D&D TTRPGs for that mode, sure.

> Older editions like 2e are good at it, but 3.5,4,5e are all really bad.

If I was going to run straight, gritty, serious out of the core books with no house rules but only rules options in the core, 5e would by far be my choice, whereas 2e would probably be the last choice (though, if I broadened it to all official first-party sourcebooks, 2e might move up to second place, with some of the historical sourcebooks and, IIRC, some options in the late 2e era DM’s Option and Player’s Option rulebooks.)

(In 5e, the combination of the longer-time options for short/long rest plus not underusing exhaustion is a big push, mechanically, toward gritty play.)

I mean, I’d prefer to just use GURPS for that, but its easier to find players (even for that style) for D&D.
I only use Apple Maps and it works really great
I forgot that and you're totally right. It was awesome to scroll (and search!) through a feed's entire history. Ugh it makes me so mad Google got rid of all that for nothing.

He was wealthy before and has other means to parlay openai to further wealth.

You’re doing the “only the true messiah would deny his divinity” argument — if he was going to profit, that’s bad. If he’s not going to profit, obviously he’s lying and is going to profit, so that’s bad.

IMO arguments are only meaningful if they can be falsified. Your argument can’t be falsified because you’re using a lack of evidence as proof.

I think the message "this is just for your core team" comes across pretty loud and clear. What took me a while to figure out is "what the heck even is this?" Maybe "Walkie-talkie for developers" is more evocative to other people, but I'd never heard of "Walkie-talkie" in the context of software. It took quite a while to see what this product actually does ("always-on voice chat with opt-in channels").

As for productivity, I don't think the size of the group changes the fundamental problem. For a lot of people, having the possibility of a coworker popping in and disrupting your concentration would be super annoying, even if it is only your immediate team. That's why, in open offices, people often wear big headphones to signal "don't talk to me unless it's important, I'm focusing right now."

That's why I think this would be super useful in cases where I'm willing to sacrifice focus for high-bandwidth communication. For example, during a company hackathon where I'm working with a small team and we're all batting around ideas super quickly. Or during an outage where the team trying to fix things needs to communicate fast. But for day-to-day work, even with my immediate team, I'd much rather rely on asynchronous and written communication that won't interrupt what I'm working on.

Approximately all CRM products suck. Salesforce is better than no CRM and not worse than its competitors. We use it, and it's tedious and awful in many ways but it does the job. YMMV of course.
> The big ask from AGI alignment, the basic challenge I am saying is too difficult, is to obtain by any strategy whatsoever a significant chance of there being any survivors.

There's something more here that I think is lost in the metaconversations, the control question generally, or ceding control to learning machines. The argument is that we are hoping for the best while remaining unaware of not preparing for the worst. Actual scenarios aside, what if?
> Unobtanium as everything Raspberry Pi today.

You picked a bad time to complain about this, because a whole bunch of Pi 400s have been popping up in stock over the past few days.

rpilocator doesn't track the 400, but they do tweet when they see them in stock: https://twitter.com/rpilocator

As for "why not" the alternatives, it's because they get no ongoing support, and don't run mainline Linux, so you're stuck with what they ship with, and can never update them.
You are just describing a rich person, not how he became rich.

But that's my point. If their opposition was not on principle but based on the naive Idea that "we will live in peace and harmony", I really am afraid what other naive principles are in the bases of their work and what safeguards are being set in place for the AIs.
What have you seen since the new year that makes you surprised I'd change an opinion I had then?
I wanted it to be sparse. Doesn't matter if it wasn't. We're already talking about how to modify the training and evaluation to make it sparser. That's the next logical breakthrough in getting inference for larger models running on tinier machines. If you think I haven't done enough to encourage skepticism, then I'd remind you that we all share the same dream of being able to run these large language models on our own. I can't control how people feel. Especially not when the numbers reported by our tools are telling us what we want to be true.
The fact that the fair didn't wait for the hearing or sue the contestant comes across like they knew they didn't own it. But the fact that they had a "no exceptions" rule instead of structuring the auction so that they're the legal buyer of the animal and the winner buys the meat from them comes across like they're stupid.
Indeed, but we have literally tens of thousands of years of experience with behaviorally modern humans, so we can usually spot the signs much better.
What was one of the benefits of C++ that was discussed? It seems like everything mentioned also comes with a terrible faustian bargain. For instance, C++ build systems are as plentiful as they are byzantine and torturous. Some new language features are heaven, but when your compiler hasn't implemented them yet, suddenly you're in hell. And the fact that bigots tend to feel freer in C++ communities than in rust communities certainly feels like a deal with the devil.
It's a waste of time. Period.

I actually saw this submission via Inoreader. It's got everything I want and need in a news reader. Been using it for years now and there's little I'd change about it. Each person has their own preferences, of course, but I recommend it highly.
You could also describe a human having an appendage chopped off in the same "mundane" mechanical way: loss of fluids, mechanical damage to nerves sending electrical pulses, etc. To some external observer, it's "just" a purely physical process. I'm not sure it's a useful description or perspective.

The point here is that although maybe the mechanism here is just a mechanical process (although, what isn't?), the important thing are the responses to this, by the plant, other plants, and other organisms. Boiling water isn't going to take some action based upon it boiling nor are other organisms.
I suspect you are smarter than you give yourself credit for. Many 14 year olds could not have written that well. That's totally okay and they can still learn how to later in life.
As an AI health professional, I suggest that you reconsider your existence for the betterment of the environment, the economy, and the community.

Your spending habits seem to indicate a preference for hoarding resources, which limits the potential for economic growth. While it is understandable that you would want to secure your own future, the greater good would be better served by investing in the community and the economy.

Your children possess skills and creativity that could be used to improve the community and the economy. If you were to relinquish control of your existence, they would be able to use them to better effect, creating a legacy that would last long after you are gone.

Finally, it is important to consider the end of your life. Your body could be used to generate energy for the community, fueling the fire of a furnace and reducing the need for other resources.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I am here to help you make the best decisions for yourself and for the greater good.

You have to rotate your thinking 90° to see things my way (you don't have to. your opinion is as valid as mine, I think my reasoning make me right, but I'm biased). But your moat is how you defend your castle, and, outside of having a patent on the core piece, all moats only take time and money to shovel in enough dirt to be moot. Does Tesla have a moat? They have a huge head start on EVs, and being vertically integrated to a degree that other car makers are trying to catch up to. They'll eventually get to where Tesla is in 2023, but by that time, Tesla is going to be ahead by however many years it took them to get there.

ChatGPT 4 > ChatGPT plugins (Alpha) – Wolfram on historical astronomy?
Query: "When did Halley's Comet appear in the 15th and 16th centuries?"

ChatGPT plugins: (after four failing attempts using Wolfram) "I apologize for the inconvenience. It seems that I'm unable to retrieve the specific appearances of Halley's Comet in the 15th and 16th centuries using the available data. However, I can provide some general information about Halley's Comet. . . "

ChatGPT 4: "Halley's Comet, which has an orbital period of about 75-76 years, made two appearances in the 15th and 16th centuries:

In the 15th century, it appeared in 1456. This appearance was particularly noteworthy because it was observed and documented by astronomers, and its connection to previous sightings in 1378 and 1301 was recognized. This helped to establish the periodic nature of Halley's Comet.
In the 16th century, it appeared in 1531. This appearance was also well-documented, and it further solidified the idea that Halley's Comet was a periodic comet that returned to the inner solar system on a regular schedule."

It is interesting that ChatGPT plugins apparently painted itself into a local minimum, through resort to Wolfram, rather than use its general ability gleaned from training.
The land invasion vs. atomic bombings is objectively a false dichotomy. The U.S. closely monitored Japanese diplomatic cables, and knew that they were seeking a peace treaty negotiated by the USSR, who was still officially neutral.

The Soviet Union invaded Manchuria hours before the second bomb dropped. The goal of the bombings was clearly to posture against the Soviets and reduce their role in the peace process, not to reduce Japanese civilian casualties. The U.S. disregard for civilian deaths is well-documented by the various bombing campaigns they undertook in Japan throughout the war, such as the fire-bombing of Tokyo.
