> It's still fairly exaggerated, because the LLM's purpose is basically "knowing human communication" and it still only exhibits that

That's wrong. It's been demonstrated that GPT4 has a model of physics, it knows how to play chess, arithmetics, it can interpret and run code, etc. (not perfectly, but to some degree). It goes way beyond basically "knowing human communication".
FWIW to me the biggest lock-in GitHub uses is not providing custom domain name / CNAME support for what is ostensibly otherwise a hosting platform. The result is that not only do github.com-infected repository URLs for your project end up in the .git/config of users who clone your repository, but they end up in .gitmodules for projects that use you as a submodule, various package manager configuration/lock files for projects that use you as a dependency, and in any number of automated build processes for distributions shipping your software to end users; even worse, because we are all developers and like looking at code a lot of times more than prose, github.com-infected repository URLs end up becoming the de facto home page even for projects that did go out of their way to buy a domain name and make a website.

The reality is that, once your project has been on GitHub long enough, the "switching costs" are actually artificially high to move to any alternative--whether another hosting provider such as GitLab or attempting to self-host your own repository--as what you are effectively doing at that point is forking your own project more-so than merely changing out a backend provider, with the result that these alternatives can't just be a better tradeoff or even merely have slightly better functionality: they frankly have to be MUCH better to get over the barrier to entry that managing to entice such a large number of open source projects to re-federate under a domain name that Microsoft was able to just waltz in an buy presents to a project hoping to make any kind of change... it isn't as easy as "the alternatives aren't as good".
The CEO restricting access to a legal site without a court order is way worse.

Your own link gives lots of examples where compensation was much greater than $3M depending on the severity of the injury.

$8,000,000 Verdict: The plaintiff lost three fingers and underwent numerous surgeries to save her hand. A conveyor belt was detected to have a defect and caught her hand in it, leading to extremely debilitating damages.

$150,000 Verdict: While he was operating machinery in a school, the plaintiff severed the tip of his finger. Thanks to the efforts of medical professionals, the finger was reattached; when he pursued legal action, he was found partially at fault and had a 35% reduction of his verdict.

$1,200,000 Settlement: A young boy, age 11, suffered partial leg amputations after being struck by a train. He was playing on the railroad tracks and was caught. A Minneapolis jury was set to hear the case, but a settlement was reached beforehand.

$400,000 Settlement: A 45-year-old man in Minnesota was working on a tri-roller machine at a bakery when the rollers snatched his glove. His arm was pulled into the machine, causing irreparable damages that resulted in amputation below his elbow.

$325,000 Verdict: A man, nearly 40 years old, suffered an amputation after the cast he wore on his broken arm was applied too tightly, causing ischemia.

$5,000,000 Settlement: A man was struck by a semi-truck while on his motor bike. The crash caused severe damages to his leg. Despite numerous surgeries, the leg could not be adequately fixed, and was amputated below the knee.

It doesn't really need a citation at all. It's pretty standard for people to be considered as "founders" even if they weren't the first person to be involved in the first incarnation of a business. The only reason this particular instance got any attention is because of the lawsuit.

If you're curious, pick a few companies at random and dig into their history. You might be surprised by how late some of their "founders" became involved in the business.
> If the human writer has access to google (everyone in modern society) this point is moot.

Does not follow at all. There’s a vast difference between being able to search for and internalize a tiny, tiny sample of all the available information, and literally having sampled and synthetized all of it.

> If it isn't, refer to #1.

Meaning what? LLMs use adversarial learning, the same thing that allowed AlphaGo to reach superhuman levels in Go.
Or it might be that because we aren’t teaching them the way we teach babies. With a baby you are constantly reinforcing the language and encouraging them to match you. They obviously don’t have a human voice in there but they may be capable of a richer dog language than they currently use if they were taught it from early life.
> However are you sure you are comparing that with the same segment in your country?

Yes, I come from the bottom of society in my country. I grew up surrounded by people without jobs, blue collar workers and parents that worked in factory and hospitality jobs. Luckily, my country takes care of people in these situations, provides them affordable homes and health care and income and helps them to go to school without ending up with crippling debt.

Sorry not an expert but I read that it depends on what type of judgement you receive. If it's wages owed, as a sibling comment said, you have to pay taxes. Medical judgement - no. Punitive damages - yes.

I read about this lawsuit a lot. No women did nothing wrong or stupid.

The lawsuit outcome was still bad decision with bad reasoning which is why all those writeups remain unconvincing.
Awesome !! Great … I haven’t gone through it yet but from just what I saw on the GitHub page it would be awesome to have a CLI with standard arguments built into it for everything that can be done through the flask interface. Thanks !!
It seems the Google dLight isn't sold and is reserved to employees. Did you get it from a Google employee? Or are you working at Google?
Whether you are fine with 2 depends on how much you are willing to shrug any possible outcome off and say: "I guess it's fine".

And, more essentially, how much the rest of the company just shrugs it off and says: "I guess it's fine", so when it blows up you can defend with the famous defence my Nazi grandfather also told me: "But everybody else did it too."

Remember the Xerox printer that was swapping out (and therefore falsifying) numbers in their compression algorithm whenever you made a copy? Imagine we could bring this to all of our business processes, but in new and unexpected ways.
Have you considered ASETNIOP [0]? It offers stationary hands benefits like Datahands or Cykey without the complexities of full-blown steno. G Heavy Industries formerly built the Ginny, a keyboard designed to run ASETNIOP out of the box, but the owner appears to have had a rough few years and shuttered the business. A possible alternative to a used Ginny might be this open source system [1].

Still working on my steno (with a StenoMod). It's taken some time, but I'm finally at the point where I can derive more satisfaction from success than my aggravation due to lack of speed.

I did something similar for a while with a drafting setup. One thing I liked about it was the utility in simple visualization techniques like drawing quickly in perspective or in various media.

After doing that for a while, I found Inkscape and Free mind/Freeplane to be pretty reasonable alternatives that are still digital.

Even in plain text mode I learned later that there are some practices that also help the big picture emerge faster, so the spacial effects aren't as necessary in many cases.

Still, it's fun sometimes to get out the supplies and work in that way...
Office commuting is the most viable public transport service. Trains would use a negligible amount of power per passenger. It might even be more efficient to take a train to an office than to heat your home.
I've never been awarded any money because somebody said something to me I didn't like.

Yes words can have consequences. Let's take politics, some parties get elected based on their words, and then implement policies that are harmful to me. I still never got any kind of compensation for that kind of thing.

How much money should ehticalsmacker be awarded from you, because you not thinking much of his comment hurt his feelings?
Indeed! And they arguably should have continued down that path - the workflow on "real" cameras still generally sucks much harder than it should. If they at least exposed decent API's you could at least scaffold around the limitations more effectively. Seems odd that not any of the major players were brave enough to really try that and see if it could be turned into a competitive advantage.
> Or in this case, interfere with themselves across two alternate times they could take on the same path.

This is gold.

That’s cool that this is your field! It could just be the optimism in the article that’s getting to me here. I just feel like natural language as an interface has a bit too much slop in the controls, even if the controls are easier.

I’d like to imagine the non technical folks using something like the dashboard example in the article would be ok with some extra work formatting their query to ensure what they think they want, is precisely what they’re asking for.

Adding a little layer in there that was mostly trained on things unrelated to your query, feels more like driving-by-wire. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t work but that precision is lost?

I’m also: completely out of my field for talking on this. Thanks for the interesting insight into it!

What if it though you wanted an example of how to construct a function?

It gave you a direct answer and threw in a second example on how arguments work by adding a third one on top of what you requested.

I can’t even count how many times I’ve had to look at example code to figure out how to do something that had nothing to do with the code I was looking at. If I asked it where “const” needed to be placed in a C++ function to effect the whole function and it started to question my motivation I’d not be very happy, “just answer the question, you daffy computer!”

You should post your question on stack overflow and see how that goes.
Apart from sequencing rules, a[i] may also differ in value category. If one of the operands is an array rvalue then the result is also rvalue. *(a + i) can't propagate value category this way, dereferencing always produces an lvalue.

I'm with you. Mine is not particularly big either, just a common 27" 4k monitor but it's already a game changer for me because I used to only use 14" or 19" 1080p, it's night and day.
Really cool use of the protocol and yubikey though! I didn't know yubikeys could be used like that.

Personally I'd rather not expose anything at all from my home network since it's easier to not have to think about keeping my reverse proxy up to date so I don't get pwned by a 0-day. AFAIK you can also use cloudflare's tunnels or tailscale's new funnels to access your internal network without needing to have tailscale or cloudflare's daemon installed in anything but one of your servers, but that also moved the root of trust to a third-party (unless you self-host your own tailscale infra! But that's also way more work)

Really cool project overall. I might try it out I know the future when I have a fully developed homelab
I don't agree with you. Human knowledge itself is not bound only to the previous knowledge before it, so why wouldn't AI be any different? This is more of where AGI will shine, but I still think LLMs can produce novel innovation.

There's also a difference between having access to and being able to 'comprehend' all previous works in a given genre for generating music, that a human simply won't have the ability to process and recall when creating their own music and the AI could surpass. Humans simply having access to information is different than using information.

I have a little weather station mounted outside my house, and there is a small linux machine (Raspberry Pi) logging the weather data into an SQLite database. I have almost two years of data now, so I asked GPT-4 to write a Python program that would query the database, calculate the average temperature for each day, fit a sine wave to those data points, find the first minimum of the sine wave and use that to calculate what day of the year should be coldest on average, then plot everything. It did that easily. But the big surprise was this: just for fun, I told GPT-4 that one of the quantities it had calculated could be used to estimate the orbital period of the Earth, and I asked it which quantity it was. It correctly answered that the reciprocal of the frequency of the fitted sine wave is an estimate of the Earth's orbital period. All I had told it to do was pull out the temperature data for each day, and fit a sine wave. It knew that the reciprocal of the frequency was the Earth's orbital period, without me mentioning anything at all about the Earth when I was prompting it to write the program. It had calculated dozens of variable values on its way to producing the plots, and it knew the right one to pick, and it knew the answer was its reciprocal.

I thought that perhaps the program just recognized that the only value that could be used to calculate any period was that frequency, and perhaps the model didn't really know anything about the Earth motion through its orbit affecting the average temperature, so I asked:

"Can any of the values be used to estimate the Moon's orbital period?"

and it replied:

"No, the code and the data used in this program are not suitable for estimating the Moon's orbital period. The temperature data being analyzed is influenced by the Earth's rotation around the Sun and other factors like weather patterns, but it doesn't directly correlate with the Moon's orbital period."
Have you tried gpt4?

Yes, François Chollet released ARC(Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus) benchmark for this in 2019, and the benchmark can be scored automatically. Humans solve 100% of tests and GPTs solve 0% of tests and GPTs made exactly zero progress from 2019 to 2022.

Most obviously this part must be off by 3-4 orders of magnitude:

> Let's say the cost of compute is 1 cent per 100B flops (probably a lowball)

That's like 0.5ms worth of compute on A100. VMs with an A100 cost a few dollars per hour at cloud providers, i.e. about a cent per second or 0.001 cents per ms. OpenAI would obviously get a far better deal than somebody renting a single GPU for an hour.

Look, we know what OpenAI is charging for their commercial service. We don't know how it maps to their actual serving costs; maybe they're breaking even, making a small profit, or making a small loss. But just basic common sense should tell you that they are not operating at -10000% gross margins.

I suspect that just working backwards from the prices to a reasonable range of gross margins is going to produce much better estimates than your methodology would even after the inputs are tuned to be more realistic.
Prediction is a faction of cognition. There’s a theory of self, perception, sensory fusion, incremental learning, emotions, a world model, communication and a sense of consequences, desire for self preservation and advancement, self-analysis and reflection, goal setting, reward-driven behavior, and so many more aspects that are missing from “predict the next word.”
Is ARC a benchmark that GPT-4 can be tested against today? I would be curious to see its results.
The most effective way to help open source maintainers is probably to pay more of them.
Today it helped me make a data source object generic over a couple of uniquely constrained types, and flowed on those changes to other objects depending on it. Before then I was sitting scratching my head, wondering if I need to rewrite this part of my feature.

It can work wonders if you give it some code and provide specific requirements. It's much more than just a "tell me how to X" machine.

This was with the GPT4 model, which I find has much better results with code.
Very different ISAs.

m68k is quite comfortable to write assembly for, with 8x GPRs (D0-D7) and 8x address registers (A0-A7), all 32 bit, and flat memory model.

8086 OTOH not so much. More like painful.

16 bits, few registers, many opcodes and addressing modes operate with specific registers, and the mess which is segments, needed because 16bit would otherwise only adress 64KB.
Except that fencing was originally practiced by the educated elite, and still has close cultural association with that class of society (even though its practice has become more democratized). Learning to fence was traditionally very much part of an upper-class education.

Also, fencing is about much more than hurting people: the very word comes from the word "defense" which doesn't necessarily require hurting somebody else.
This could be a great use case for chatGPT/GPT-4 - help understand and maintain open source software in perpetuity.
