I wouldn't call Kat Norton a scammer. If you can figure out how to package 35-year-old information in a way that people will pay money for it (and it's not incorrect), more power to you. Sooner or later, it will be corporatized, like everything else, so grab the money fast.

It's funny we got all the people pointing out their great software because not only did the "feature" randomly crash multiple times in that video, the UI is also busy drawing random Tesla semi trucks everywhere. It's embarrassing.

I guess we can laugh about it but the real problem is that this is what the "self driving" thinks is the environment.

China's legal system doesn't run on rule of law, it runs on threat of rule by law. In this case, it means anyone who wants to function in china must predict what the government will dislike, since there is no actual Chinese law against making fun of Xi Jinping (but they will shut you down anyways if you allow it).

Sure, if they want to operate in China they are taking the best course of action, but it will hardly be enough since it is an user produced content system.
I have a family member who has been going to sleep at 7:30 and waking up at 3:30 every day for a decade or more. And that's with three kids.

In my experience ADHD medicine doesn't actually induce weight loss, despite weight loss being a desirable thing for me.

It suppresses your appetite, sure, but it doesn't shield you from the effects of not eating all day. I often force myself to eat something for lunch or I'll just end up tired and annoyed in the afternoon/evening (edit: I don't eat breakfast).

Plus, once the medicine wears off at night (or on weekends when I skip taking it), I usually get ravenously hungry and easily make up any caloric deficit.
I feel like you overestimate how little people do in office.
Ah, ok my mistake. I was under the impression that Pulumi worked like CDK (except compiled to terraform) and wasn't imperative.
Let's put it this way: someone is, surely, already doing this. If, a couple years from now, there is not some Warren Buffett-sized new wunderkind of the stock market, then you will know that ChatGPT is not able to do this.

OK, that sparked a chord of memory. Googling... found two close matches.

"A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought." - Dorothy Sayers

"Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit." - Oscar Wilde

The application to GPT is clear enough, I think. But I note the irony of me finding quotes to make my point...
> human = monkey + LLM

This is an old tradition in popular science, replacing the humans are animals with souls analogy with the current fad. (Analogies to clockworks, printed circuits, et cetera.) They’re wrong because they’re oversimplifying for pithiness. Not explanatory value.
> Note that Koko was obviously a greater communicator than any parrot ever was.

Sadly, I don't think this is actually true, despite the popular belief.

See https://youtu.be/e7wFotDKEF4

TL;DW - Data was VERY cherry-picked to make it look like she could communicate via sign language. At best, she was responding via rote memorization and had no idea what she was actually communicating.
I've also been wondering this. Can we train an LLM on dolphin noises?

I suspect the problem is the training data. If we don't know what the dolphin squeaks mean, we can't really filter the training data to include only meaningful "language." But I do wonder how far we could get by just dumping a bunch of dolphin recordings into an LLM and getting it to make the same noises...

The other side of that same problem is that we would have no way of knowing whether it's working. Even if it could "communicate" perfectly, we would have no way of understanding it, aside from watching real dolphins interact with it. But maybe we could build an artificial dolphin, load an LLM into it, and drop it in a pool with real dolphins... just to see what happens...
The core selling point of Pop is that they've figured out all the configuration needed to make a bunch of existing software work well together. Instead of needing to tweak everything it all just works.

Sure you could start swapping around core components but it strongly suggests it's not the right desktop environment for you personally.

Yeah, when I was on dextroamp, it would completely eliminate my appetite. I'd have to eat breakfast before taking it, and at about 8-10pm when it wore off, I was STARVING, and would eat everything in the fridge. At actual dinner time, I would stare at a delicious plate of food and not even feel like touching it despite not having eaten since 7am.
Was just riffing on the comment that was replying to.

So is the control issue in the larynx or in the brain?

And if it was the brain, could some sort of AI system do brain <> larynx communication for the monkeys? (Via electrodes maybe?)
It’s outright deceptive and fraudulent. He sounds like a deceptive individual is how it comes off to me.

If LLM's have hidden models like people say they do, a hedge fund might be able to replicate the success that RenTech has had with their hidden Markov models. I mean, they recruited NLP engineers to achieve the greatest level of success Wallstreet has seen.
Laptop arm -- basically a clamped monitor arm with a laptop tray instead of VESA mount.

That combined with a USB-C dock and another monitor on an arm. I can quickly dock laptop and keep all my desk space.
To add to this excellent reply, I'll also point out that the reason folks want the weights is that they are the result of a massive search operation, akin to finding the right temperature to bake a cake from all possible floats. It takes a lot of wall clock time, and a lot of GPU energy, and a lot of input examples and counter-examples to find the "right" numbers. Thus, it really is better -- all things being equal -- to publish the results of that search to keep everyone else from having to repeat the search for themselves
Every single piece of advice for doing hard things eventually boils down to this, yes.

But even if you read a thousand different ways to explain/justify/dress up "do hard things", you only need one to really click with you.
This doesn't even begin to get into the cost of handling the waste. Which 70 years latter, the US still has seemingly never once found a long term answer to, as far as I am aware.

Personally I would really like to see ambitious high tech safe nuclear options be a thing, and to have thoughtful long term handling plans.

The Integral Fast Reactor getting canceled (1994) seems a real shame to me. A safe cheap transuranic-burning-capable low-proliferation-concern breeder sodium fast reactor could help us greatly deal with waste, could be gamechanger. But perhaps it was too soon, that it would have only been another mark against ambitious nuclear. GE Hitachi has kept the plans updated & moving along, which is interesting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor

And TerraPower has recently reached out expressing interest in working together towards an IFR inspired design. https://neutronbytes.com/2022/02/03/terrapower-teams-up-with...

But given costs as is, focus on being extremely cheap not advanced makes some sense, albeit it sort of also feels like it limits the potential, & keeps us from addressing actual real total costs.

One of the author's points is that

> But honestly, if there are enough materials on the internet for me to learn Sakha, there is absolutely no reason in principle why a machine should not also be able to draw on these. The only reason in practice as to why it does not do so is that our current idea of what would count as passing some variant of the Turing test is basically that the machine that passes need only be conversant in the sort of matters that the corporate interests shaping our use of the internet would prefer to keep us focused on: the Academy Awards and other such presentist illusions, always in English, always limited to the sort of information you might expect to find in your search engine’s top hits.

And it is indeed true that LLMs kinda suck outside of English and they suck more the less online material there is.

I don't even need to do anything as contrived as the author to get it to fail on a tangentially language related task: ask ChatGPT-4 to give you instructions on how to write a chinese character stroke-by-stroke and it will fail miserably (because each Chinese characters is a separate codepoint and because there isn't enough discussion online on how to write each chinese character.)

I don't quite agree with their conclusion though.
Not the OP but I that's what I do.

I have to say, I don't have patience for the author's self-indulgent style of writing. It's 2023, we all have a thesaurus on our laptop. I think his point is that technology already runs our lives, and it's not very good at it. But really, who can tell, when he's more interested in three levels of subordinate clauses than saying what he means.

(And yes, I also took philosophy in college, and no, most philosophy grads on the internet are not Heidegger and adopting his sentence structure doesn't make them sound any smarter.)

"When you look at all the biggest competitors, you'll notice that they were all founded around 2009/2010, and they all have been acquired by now.

Because of that, it's common to see them only prioritizing enterprise requirements and optimizing for sales-led growth.

Nobody is building an exceptional developer experience. Nobody is trying to innovate."

I imagine YC hear complaints about email service providers from most of their startups, so I'm surprised it's taken this long for one to get backed. But I'm sure that mission statement resonates with many people here!

Make it easy to switch from the main providers, and I suspect you'll be overrun with demand. Thanks for trying to push some innovation in this space.

Yes, this is science. If it makes useful predictions, it has explanatory value. If it doesn’t, it’s cocktail party and TED talk fodder.

If I showed up somewhere and everybody there thinks I'm an all-knowing, all-capable oracle, I'd know how to make money easily...

A group of men in suits would ask me, oh Oracle, what should I invest in? And I'd tell them "My intuition tells me.. buy ACME stocks". Another group would show up and ask the same thing, and I'd answer the same, and the first group of men would make a profit, and huzzah, the oracle is right again!

But of course I'd tell a good friend to buy ACME stock before all of them did, or maybe this friend would be the one telling me which stock I should recommend to the people...

Eventually this pressure will go away though, as panels can only get so efficient. Future generations of panels are unlikely to make such big improvements.

And because thus is an economic pressure/incentive, its really the opposite of what the original quote was suggesting. In 20 years we throw it all away because there has been amazing improvements doesn't gel well with their "this will last 60 years" statement.
When you type `apt install foo` you always get a deb, they don't sneak a snap or flatpak behind your back (unlike Ubuntu).

If you open up Pop Shop (their GUI alternative) you'll see both flatpaks and debs. If an app could be installed by either they have a dropdown next to the install button that defaults to flatpak.

I think that's probably the best compromise possible. Power users get what they want, novices get something that probably just works, and intermediate users are guided towards learning about the distinction.
These are tests which require reasoning in humans. A human can't reasonably be expected to pass Quant or Verbal tests without reasoning about the information given, but--and I can't stress this enough--large language models are not humans.

Here's a sample question from the GRE Verbal Reasoning test:

> Upon visiting the Middle East in 1850, Gustave Flaubert was so [blank] belly dancing that he wrote, in a letter to his mother, that the dancers alone made his trip worthwhile.

> (A) overwhelmed by

> (B) enamored by

> (C) taken aback by

> (D) beseeched by

> (E) flustered by

Whether that specific question was in the training corpus or not, there are enough words in the sentence to suggest a positive association, including, significantly, "worthwhile." That alone possibly serves to narrow the answers down to A or B, with a preference for B, because it's more likely that "worthwhile" and "letter to x mother" are associated with "enamored" in general English-language text.

Look, the whole point of these models is that its not easy or even possible to trace the path any given input takes on its way to output, but we know the principles used in development, so I think it's rather more of a burden to explain how the clearly-explained principles in LLMs result in something other than the obvious. The fact that the results are so overwhelming that we become enamored by them, well, I'm taken aback by the seeming accuracy of some of the responses, but I beseech you to remember the other responses in which these LLMs are dramatically off-base, as if flustered--if LLMs could ever be flustered.
It’s a great mystery why people rave about Langchain library. I found it to be really bloated and verbose syntax makes it hard to understand what it’s doing unless you are digging into the code base. Poorly documented, too
It sounds like you found a problem you're improving. I don't want to stop you. But to me it feels like a bandaid fix, a short term stop gap for a larger issue.

The reason it got a negative response from me is that I look at the problem from a renters point of view, and not an owners. Housing is in short supply, REITs make billions of profit, homelessness is on the rise. And here your selling point is "get a new revenue stream from your tenants".

The solution of negligent owners shouldn't be renters paying more money for yet another middle man just to get their apartment fixed.

This is the real issue with privatized AI imo. The limitations and guardrails exposed to the end user do not apply to the developers, who can alter results in ways that would be difficult to detect at best and invisibly manipulative at worst.
Actually, yes..

2 x 32GiB (SDDR4 3200MHz) can be had for 170€ and probably less than that if doing the research. Took a bit of faith and a lot of impulse decision-making as this device was/is specified for up to 32GiB RAM only - but it went through.

This is precisely the use case I had in mind

Here’s where we ended up:

Apple resolved the issue after 48 hours of performance disruptions. Though I further noted one five minute disruption on 4/3 at 6pm ET. They still haven’t responded to our initial ticket.

We’ve worked around this by implementing Pirate Weather as an emergency fallback (it was an easy option since they are fully compatible with DarkSky’s API). But Pirate’s baseline performance is worse, and they don’t have a plan that supports more than 250k requests/month.

We may have to eventually switch to a different provider.

Hey! I'm Edwin, a software engineer with ~2 years of experience. I have spent the past year working as a Data engineer where I have owned various big data (think 20 GB daily partitions) pipelines delivering analytics to a manufacturing engineers to identify areas of improvement in our manufacturing process. More recently I have worked in the privacy space and have developed pipelines to enumerate all the data systems within the organization. Before that I worked as a software engineer at Cox Automotive where I enjoyed writing infra-as-code solutions using Terraform, Python/boto3 and AWS to solve problems related to cloud costs and usage.

I would love to continue working in the back-end/data engineering space!
