The euro is above the dollar again so that point doesn't really fly anymore.
Only if you have an internet connection.
As always, population-level recommendations don’t result in perfect individual recommendations. Your condition was very rare, and the test is not perfect. Thus if it were done routinely, many people would be flagged as a false positive and treated unnecessarily to catch your one case.
i strongly disagree with that claim. short of living in the wilderness far from everyone else where you can do what you want, i don't believe that this is true.

and public services don't make me dependent but they free me from having to take care of things myself.
> If it is a reasoning engine, why didn't it answer "I don't know" in the first case?

Because it wasn't purposefully built to be a reasoning engine from the outset. So some of us are working out the kinks and minimizing the degree of hallucination. GPT-4 hallucinates less than its predecessor.

Others are writing reasoning loops like ReAct that get us closer to it by refining the model to act more like a reasoning engine.

The fact that it can reason without being told to do much other than autocomplete text is the emergent property that people are in awe of. Maybe language and reasoning are so inexorably linked that you can't have one without the other. We are, after all, the animals on this planet with the most complex form of language. Other relatively "smart" animals like whales also have some rudimentary form of language.

And if you extrapolate the rate of progress in this emergent reasoning from "GPT-1" to "GPT-4", AGI feels within reach
My current opinion is that it's not so much that GPT is utterly amazing, as it is that language is even more amazing than we previously realized, and GPT happens to have been trained on a huge quantity of language material.
You missed the point.

Would you copy paste around:

<form class="asd fasdf e4rwe sfdg sdfgbbv cxvbxcs asdf asdf wer wer gfdghdfgh fgh">

20x around your static website and keep it updated manually when someone "from design" wants to change the "form" look?

Or would you just <form class="classic-form"> and describe the style of that class of form in a single place?

I know what I'd do. :)
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
And indeed, the Chinese Room (viewed as a whole system, not just the guy in it) is doing reasoning.
In my case the M1 is more powerful than I need it to be. There's no reason for me to upgrade to M2 or M3 until this generation is too slow for my day to day use.

The only thing that would make me upgrade is Apple sponsoring a Proton port to M-series CPUs/Metal. I could play thousands of "Windows only" games on my Mac without hassle.

Until then, I'm sticking with a M1.
Unfortunately framework doesn't fit my work laptop usage (core i9, 64gb ram, rtx 3080, etc) which are generally pretty chonky bois, and I don't replace my personal laptop until I have to so maybe in another 2-3 years when it needs to be replaced I'll take a look and see what they're offering.
I guess the idea could be that with this the govt has chosen a company to set an example and with it the criteria for crackdown.

So, there's no uncertainity regarding who will be picked next and why.

I'll bet that a poor person today has cheaper access to better medicines than a poor person 30 years ago.
I think this is right. There is no AI in the foreseeable future that would be able to understand a complex business, prioritise and roadmap some future strategy, and convert that into business requirements detailed enough to implement as working software, architect a proper solution, and then work with an AI to develop and verify the software through an incremental development process. But I do believe that there are some people who could work with GPT 6 or 7 to achieve that. And those people would be productive enough to replace a whole team of product owner, architect, designer, developers, etc. and will therefore become very rich.
The social context and expectations around accuracy in a response to a question may simply be absent in the first instance. To me LLMs feel like that instinct part of the brain that so regularly gets filtered out before I commit the idea to speech or writing.
People keep bringing this up. It's not as straightforward as a clause that says "you can't use this to train AI" (which is what I suspect many people think).

Licensing operates on a continuum of permissiveness. They can only relax the restrictions that you as a creator are given by default. You can't write a copyright license that adds them. You could write a legal instrument that compels and prohibits certain behavior(s), but at that point you're talking about a contract. (And there's no way to coerce anyone to agree with the contract.)

Harry Potter has even more restrictions than the GPL or any other open source license. It's "All Rights Reserved—it enjoys the maximum protections that a work can. And yet it would still be possible feed it into an AI model, even if all of Rowling, Bloomsbury, and Scholastic didn't want you to. They don't get a say in that. Nor do open source software developers in their works which selectively abandon some of the protections that Rowling reserves for herself and her business partners.

The only real viable path to achieve this using an IP license alone would be a React PATENTS-like termination clause—if your company engages in any kind of AI training that uses this project as an input, then your license to make copies (including distributing modified copies) under the ordinary terms are revoked, along with revoking permission for a huge swathe of other free/open source software owned by a bunch of other signatories, too. This is, of course, contingent upon the ability to freely copy and modify a given set of works being appealing enough to get people to abstain from the lure of building AI models and offering services based on them.

> sometimes complain that that they cannot hide it behind a flag because people are already using it

The way this is supposed to work is an origin trial: you ship something behind a flag, and then allow sites to flip the flag for testing and experimentation. But it's well documented that this is a temporary process, some Chrome visitors you get won't be eligible for trials, and it's not guaranteed that features in origin trials will ship. What are you thinking of where they just shipped something, without an OT?
Lol, interesting how the price went up instead of down, even after having the next generation version released and with 2 years of time lapsing.
I think they charged 1 Euro when you bought the app. I doubt that covers the costs to keep it running.
>How often does a laptop go strong for 9 years? Even the battery life is still ok. I am going to have to force her to consider the air bc the old 13 is a security risk without OS updates.

My ASUS G73 is 12 years old. I stuffed it with 32GB RAM and it works just fine. I use it to create 3D models and assemblies. I do clone the SSD once in a while but still there was no need to replace.

Since I use it mostly as a portable desktop (external keyboard, mouse and 4K monitor) the relevant parts are pristine.
Whilst I agree in theory -- in practice, humans are prone to misreading data. We have to build our systems to accommodate human flaws, as engineering away human flaws is much, much harder, and potentially impossible.

Hey! I have over six years of professional experience in Frontend development. I have been a cofounder of a software agency for over two years. I love working with UI and UX and fixing the business logic of the apps. I'm a problem solver. I have worked mostly with the US, UK, IE, and DE clients.

I have managed small teams of FE/BE devs.

I wrote an ebook for Frontend Developers called "Frontend Unicorn".

Here you can see some of the projects that I worked on: https://albertwalicki.com/portfolio
I wasn't arguing against it. I was commenting on it, sharing a thought. Peace.
I'm curious if there will be any appreciable performance gains here that are worthwhile. FWIW, last I checked[0], Polars still smokes Pandas in basically every way.

Also from my experience the "left in place" part is technically very challenging, because a woman in labor tends to move around quite a bit, whereas the nurse holding something against the patient for a moment is much more workable.
> It performs no reasoning, and instead predicts the next token in language.

Let A_i be a set of functions that transform sequents in a truth-preserving manner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequent).

Do you have a reason for believing that a transformer couldn't out-perform existing techniques for choosing, given a sequence A_n(...A_1(Prop)...), what token comes next?

There are certain types of arguments that you could make, eg complexity theory does give us some bounds, but these models are large enough that (a) you can trade off enormous amounts of time for space, and (b) even time is questionable since forward passes result in truly enormous amounts of (CPU-indexed) computation.

And of course you can say hand-wavy things like "these models can only at best interpolate", but how many mathematics papers get rejected every year due to lack of novelty? And how much actually useful reasoning is novel, either in its particulars or especially in its generalized schematic form?

The true answer to the question of whether GPT-4 is a decent reasoning engine is, I think, close to your intuition: probably not. But in general, I don't see any good reason to believe that transformers can't do reasoning. In fact, quite the opposite.
People who can't ride a bike or don't want to. The ability to integrate well with public transport like trains and underground.

Also, without investing hours of research into the subject, I'm fairly sure we can agree that the ecological difference between a bike and a e-scooter are small enough not to mater.
Dells are also high quality and last a long time. My Dell laptops from college, law school, and my first job have all lasted over a decade, requiring only a battery replacement or two over the years. My dad's (IBM) Thinkpad from the 90s still works.

OTOH, literally every Mac owner I know has had to replace their Mac laptop multiple times due to various hardware issues. (And yes, that includes Macbook Pros, Airs, etc.)

It's great that Apple has such good support. I couldn't tell you what Dell or IBM's support is like; I've never had to use it.
You also decided that a response was needed and had planned an argument of sorts.

You decide which comments to do this for as well.

How does GPT decide such things?
> I don't think the OP asked the question in a malicious or dismissive way

You're right I didn't ask in a malicious or dismissive way. And I don't see why my question was flagged. I'm not making an argument, I'm just asking a question of someone who has more involvement than I have and may have something interesting to say on the matter.

I guess I can't even ask a question if it mentions detail that goes against the accepted western narrative. Not here anyway.
In some regions of the world AM is all you can find.
> e-scooter abusing the sidewalk and making people unsafe

I agree with the decision. I am now seeing these things almost as dangerous trash in various cities.

Of course, the problem isn't the e-scooters, it thoughtless people using them.

If users can't be bothered to behave like civilized humans, not sure what options remain on the table other than a ban.

It impressively emulates the output of reasoning without reasoning.

Generally traffic/weather/emergency information, especially less populated regions, and remote regions (e.g., mountains) that get no other kind of signal. Various DOTs have AM radio transmitters for PSAs.
You would think doctors would be able to collect data and then come up with statistical tables of “hey you may have xyz. The risk to look into this further has these possible complications with these success/failure rates. The risk of no intervention has these other set of outcomes with these likelihoods”

All you get at a doctor is someone typically saying “eh you’re young don’t worry about it” until it’s too late. It would be nice if the medical world was more data driven but it’s more handy wavy “ehhh I went to med school and I think you are ok”

What is the basis of this hope?
Dang, it's a tight-knit group.
I'm not denying your feelings. Just pointing out that your art being or not being in their dataset probably makes no difference.
Cholesterol is a prime example; The leading medications deteriorate muscle and reduce mobility; where increased mobility decreases the risk of cholesterol illness via inreased arterial plasticity.

And where dietary cholesterol has been proven to not be directly related, you're fighting your liver and genetics.

Just checking my understanding:

They prefer individual businesses not to get to big, monopolistic or dominant across multiple sectors, as this would give the business undue influence over politics? And of course they're operating on the idea that the political sphere governs the market and not that the biggest businesses should be the most powerful lobbiests.

So this is an end to it because it effectively neuters the one super company by making it into several more easily regulated companies?
I like the writings of Arthur Clarke, but I must confess, this story never made sense to me. How could simply compiling a list of names bring about the end of the world? Didn't the names already exist as ideas even before they were printed on paper? Why would printing all of them on paper make any difference?

On a side note: how fast could a quantum computer generate the list using qubits?

I always appreciate the CCP’s twisted sense of symbolism. They chose 6 pieces to symbolize Jack Ma having his arms, legs and head cut off, and this is what remains. Chilling.
Thanks! I don't have an API key yet. Wonder if this is just non-USA having issues. Saw a few similar complaints on Reddit.
The traditional definition of a monopoly is the government issuing a grant for a business to operate exclusively. These ought not to be allowed.

If there is no subsidy or special grant, it’s not a monopoly.

Often these days there are subsidies or unfair grants given in some way, and the solution is to eliminate the subsidy or grant.
Or buy an old car. Since it appears to be impossible to buy new cars that don't phone home or have those horrific touch screen console displays, this is what I expect I'll be doing for the rest of my life.
No, all you need to do is memorize enough vocabulary and have enough chances to get lucky on occasion. You can have better odds if you learn the conditional probability of that vocabulary given surrounding words.

And this is all that GPT is doing.

Hi,

I'm a frontend developer with a passion for creating user-friendly web applications. My expertise lies in React, Firebase, and JavaScript, and I enjoy using these technologies to build intuitive and responsive interfaces. I have experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality projects on time and within budget. In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong eye for good design. I'm always looking for ways to improve the user experience and make websites more accessible. Whether I'm developing an e-commerce site or a social media platform, I approach every project with enthusiasm and attention to detail. My goal is to create applications that are not only functional but also visually appealing and easy to use. If your team is looking for a fast and enthusiastic learner, please do get in touch.
That means nothing. Studies can be funded from anywhere.
I'm out of the loop. What drama has been with Gitea?

(I'm not a bit willing to put my code on the likes of SourceHut or Codeberg. They are just new iterations on the Sourceforge/GitHub pattern that didn't go bad up to now. Besides, I like to keep the software I don't publish on my computers.)
I have not heard a single affirmative reason to keep AM in cars as a technology at this late a date.

I look forward to finally hearing one ... some day.
Also the S&P average is more like 7%. But those SWEs also are issued stock compensation which can accelerate those savings meaningfully
I'd welcome that. The broader the market for PC's the more dumbed down they become. I'd be happy to see a bifurcation into dumb terminals for most people and workstations for the power users.
I asked it to give me an outline for a course on C programming. Here's an excerpt:

Week 4:
Lecture 7: Introduction to Command Line Interfaces
Lecture 8: Makefiles and Building C Programs

...

Week 11:
Lecture 21: Network Security and Cryptography
Lecture 22: Network Programming with C and C++

Week 12:
Lecture 23: Introduction to Makefiles and GCC
Lecture 24: Advanced Debugging Techniques with GDB and Valgrind

Week 13:
Lecture 25: Advanced Computer Architecture Concepts
Lecture 26: Advanced Topics in Concurrency and Parallelism

What's interesting here is that it does present a relatively sensible schedule. But look closer and it's completely forgotten all context. It's forgotten that it already introduced these topics:

Lecture 8: Makefiles and Building C Programs

and

Lecture 23: Introduction to Makefiles and GCC

And it puts them in a completely illogical spot between networking and concurrency. So it doesn't understand anything about the order in which these topics are introduced. It doesn't understand that it shouldn't introduce them twice. All it knows is that the word "Introduction" often appears on class schedules. And so in writing a class schedule, it included this phrase a number of times. But it didn't put it in the right spot. So even though literally no one would ever make this mistake in devising a class schedule, ChatGPT will because this isn't a logical class schedule, it's a stochastic class schedule. Sometimes in a stochastic class, you cover the intro material at the end!
It might sound boring, but most charities and NPOs need very basic web help. Getting a site online + hosting it for a year is in the realm of ~$120, but actually finding the time to do that is a lot of work.
