The only minor catch is, if you want a pretty icon, you might have to create a menu entry with alacarte by yourself with the following config:

And pick the icon from /where/you/untared/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/, there are multiple pngs.

Birds with toxic feathers are already known, for those wondering, though many species in New Guinea are unstudied; much of the interior is very hard to access to this day: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooded_pitohui

It's thought they do not produce the toxin themselves. It's absorbed from their diet, probably from toxic frogs that use the same compounds. They have developed a resistance and ability to concentrate it in the skin and feathers. Supposedly, some species are so toxic that simply holding one in bare hands will result in a creeping numbing sensation climbing up one's arms. Fortunately it's reversible in small amounts.
Probably in between.

The point of my comment is that depending on how you interpret the description "predicts the next token", something that can do this well enough should be superhumanly clever. The task is "AI Complete".

Don't misinterpret me as saying that GPT is superhumanly clever. I'm just saying that something that's sufficiently good at what people think GPT is doing, should be superhuman.
There's plenty of public domain material out there to train on. The problem is just that having to filter out copyrighted material from the training dataset would be prohibitively expensive.

These AIs do not need to learn from your work in order to function, they just need to learn from some work. All that extending copyright in this manner would do is create a bunch of unnecessary busywork and slow the progress of technological development. You're not going to get paid $5 for letting a proprietary AI train on your drawing, blog post, or GitHub repo when they could get the same benefit from paying someone else $0.05 to find a public domain image, blog post, or repo elsewhere.

Basically, the amount of value your individual work contributes to generative AI is minuscule, but the amount of effort the entire industry would need to expend in order to compensate you for that value is massive. Unless stifling progress is your explicit goal, it's not worth it.
When I was working on open source at Google this was also something we had to be very careful with: you don't want to make promises you can't keep. But this wasn't as strict as what Apple does, and vague estimates were allowed.

For example, here's what Chrome does: https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/schedule. All the dates are tentative and sometimes slip, but an engineer can point people to it, say "fix X made the branch cutoff for release NNN", and you can get a pretty good prediction for when X will get to what sort of devices.

I came across a comment that resonated with me and seems relevant in this context, so I saved it. It says:

"The arc of communism is long and it leans towards oppressing the fuck out of people. It’s a tendency of all governmental systems. Communism rests most of its power in the hands of government without a moneyed elite to oppose them, so it tends to move to authoritarianism faster and with less resistance."
> The primary reason for chrome being developed in the first place was to push the web into a place that stuff like Google maps, docs, and so on could exist at all.

Retcon again.

> Read this thread where people talk about their experiences developing for safari. Read any open source web libraries issue list. It will be immidiately apparent that safari is the odd man out who constantly has to be baby sat in order to work properly.

And then when you actually read what people are saying, it turns out they only develop on Chrome, couldn't be arsed to develop for or test on other browsers, and want Chrome-only non-standards delivered yesterday to every browser.

To quote again, "But do you ever see a “Best viewed with Safari” notice? No, you don’t. Another browser takes that special place in web developers’ hearts and minds."

> The reason I said it needs less argument is that I assumed it would be immidiately apparent. Most people who do web dev come away with this impression.

So once upon a time my parents in the states sent me, a newly minted ex-pat living in the EU, a package for my birthday. It was mostly cheap plastic kitchen things, a couple of oven mitts and stuff like that. It went to customs. Not only did I have to haul my ass out to the airport, I was charged 120Euro for a box who's entire cost couldn't have been more than 30USD (and I'm being generous). I was informed that if i refused the package, my parents would be charged the full amount.
So yes, it's easy to imagine that by the time you get the package in your hands, it costs more than 100% the products price.
I'm not sure if that's the case or not.

In 2017 I could ask Google which episode of the Futurama was the one where the save the planet from a trash ball, and it could answer the question in natural language.

I suspect that Google X has had these, and other capabilities for a while even if they've never been shipped in any specific product. Or how about Duplex, where Google could call a restaurant to make a reservation, including negotiating times? That was also like 2017-2018.

These are only the public, polished, productized ideas. Google has bard, a response to chat gpt, probably only because they didn't realize that people actually wanted a chatbot. I think it was a product failure. How quickly they responded with something similar I think shows you this tech exists inside Google already.

Remember, OpenAI was created in part to help make AI accessible to people outside of Google/Microsoft. Who knows what's going on behind closed doors.

And the quality of "generated" HTML is vastly improved; this is from the era of Frontpage and Dreamweaver, remember; and the latter was vastly better than the former. People would also just edit in Word and export to HTML, and back then you'd get a hell of a HTML file from that!
The newer film stands on its own pretty well, it doesn't really need to be compared against the previous film. There are enough ideas behind Solaris that yet another film could be made based on that material (and probably will be, someday).

The most obvious variation would be shorter still: a film similar to Clooney's remake, but without quite so much development of what was already a dead character (Kelvin's ex) and without the softening of what was objectively a pretty bleak ending. But I think the newer film actually works really well. All the other people who were seated in the theater when I went to see it during its theatrical release seemed to feel the same way. All three of them.

I mean that’s fine, but is there any reason? Just throwing your half second opinion out there on a product release announcement isn’t really helpful.
It is absolutely impressive. It's also absolutely not reasoning.
This has been talked over and over already. The conclusion is that eventually, you don't know what are the actual differences between "reasoning" and "next token prediction" in a real human.

On one hand, it makes this topic difficult to follow since stuff aren't clearly defined anymore and to software folks, I assume this is a major problem. On the other hand, it is fascinating how this has actually resembled biology where literally everything is poorly documented and for every rule, there is a glaring exception or flagrant violation of it, existing simply just to spite that rule and our understanding of it.

I am not comparing our current leisure time to the time we had at the beginning of the industrial revolution and onward. We probably do have more free time than we did 150 years ago. I'm comparing our leisure time to the leisure time we had before agriculture was invented - that's why studying hunter gatherer tribes is so interesting. These also happens to be the conditions we evolved for.

<< Answers from calculators are always right! But the human may have asked the wrong question.

Very likely; US public opinion puts massive constraints on what's considered acceptable troop losses and deliberate infliction of civilian casualties. Given how China's treated the Uyghurs, I suspect a Chinese invasion of Iraq would've looked... different.
Yeah, I stopped using pandas entirely for ETL for this exact reason. If you are trying to maintain the fidelity of the data while cleaning, automatic casting is awful. If the new backend prevents automatic casting, it might be worth reconsidering for me.
If it is, it fooled me.

I think it's a mistake to write your code to automatically use new platform capabilities when they become available if you won't have an adequate chance to validate them first.

It's just too optimistic to believe a new implementation of a low-level mechanism is going to work exactly the way you need. (1) new things have new bugs; (2) changes are you'll end up depending on implementation details that will vary between different implementations.
I'm a bit mind boggled there is even a human involved here.

Lab results + Patient data = Diagnosis + Prescription

Why is there a Physician deciding if medicine is needed? The patient data from the original visit + lab should be enough, not sure why a second visit is needed. (This is only a problem because Physicians make somewhere between $250-$500/hr, if we had a market drive supply of Physicians, I don't think this question would be important)
What's wrong with offering an AM radio as an option, though?

Slightly related - there was a Reddit post about a person lamenting the changes in their job. [0] They make 3D models and they greatly enjoyed making models from scratch and taking 2-3 weeks to do so.

Now with AI, they use tools to create a model - and then spend 2-3 days to update it.

This is a productivity improvement, but it also took away a key thing they loved about their job. There isn't really a solution here at all, and the poster wasn't looking for solutions either. Just venting.

We'll be seeing this more in the future, and I wouldn't be surprised if multiple people change careers over it.

How many examples of bad outcomes would it take to retract your "bullshit" assessment?

Ideally, somebody would take all the good that came from the checkups, and compare that to the amount of bad effects where poor interventions were chosen, and weigh them out. Such a study would be quite useful...
I have this album hanging on the wall in my living room. The inside sleeve has a comparably small illustration of a hand opening a door from the inside of the room.

Of course, it's much rarer to take the entire sleeve out unless you're rotating it 90 degrees.

Think of everything that Apple (Meta, Google) do, think on which components would benefit from having startups replace and distrupt them and then break them up on those seams while forcing them to allow competition between their fragments (e.g. iPhone with Android OS, iOS on Microsoft phone platform, MacBook M1 with ARM Windows, iOS iPhone with Google Pay, etc. etc.).

The answer in the Javascript console is still a correct answer. The user did not specify a level of precision, and web browsers are programmed to use a precision level which is reasonable under most circumstances. If the user needs a higher level of precision, he or she needs to specify that as part of the question (such as by not using floating point numbers).

I don't mean to be pedantic. I teach coding to elementary school students, and this is something fundamental I try to make them understand. A computer will always do what you tell it to do. A bug is when you accidentally tell a computer to do something different than what you'd intended.

Going back to the calculator example, if a student used a calculator and got the wrong answer, the problem didn't come from the calculator. This is useful to understand; it can help the student work backwards to figure out what did go wrong.

AI is different in that we've instructed the computer to develop and follow its own instructions. When ChatGPT gives the wrong answer, it is in fact giving the right answer according to the instructions it was instructed to write for itself. With this many layers of abstraction, however, the maxim that computers "always do what you tell them" is no longer useful. No human truly knows what the computer is trying to do.
There were mice for the serial port, for PCs. So only lesser magic. (One "standard" mouse, like "bus mouse" or PS/2 mouse, and one serial, would have worked fine.)

If one mouse goes into the keyboard PS/2 keyboard connector (I think they were the same connector) then yes, very unusual magic.
It's not only C-suites. It's also everyone of us because we like to see our retirement savings go up. Raising the floor needs to happen at a societal level through a coordinated effort like UBI. If a company were to decide to just give all productivity gains to its workers, that company would get no more funding and ultimately lose to its competitors.

It's a moot point in the UK at least, sadly we're binning off even the mighty Radio 4 longwave signal in a year or so as part of the latest round of cost-cutting measures at the BBC. Most of the British stations have already shut down their AM output with Absolute Radio being the latest to pull the plug.

What I'd love to see is the top part of the medium wave band being opened to broadcasting hobbyists along similar lines to radio amateurs on the technical side and internet radio stations (who can get a licence for small-scale music streaming here) on the copyright side. You can hear a few pirates on AM today mostly from the Netherlands but a minority from the UK around and just over the top of MW. If there's no more state nor commercial use of AM I think legitimising these hobbyist stations would be a good use of that spectrum which isn't going to be useful for much else given how full of interference it is anyway. It would be nice from a reducing e-waste angle, not to mention the 'living history' aspect of keeping old radios working. Lots of hobbyist interests could converge here.

There might even be limited mainstream appeal, weirder things have happened with even cassettes getting a limited revival in some circles.
Yes, but I think Vista was an outlier in that respect.
I know arrow support is only part way their with this release - but this is a huge deal for Pandas, for standardisation as whole, but also speed ups.

Benchmarking that was shared a while back here suggests 2x speed ups in some cases, 30x if you count strings since pandas uses python's in-built string data type[1]

Not really. It's mostly due to food and metabolic disorders (i.e. diabetes, heart disease; iirc heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the US, and depending on how you group, diabetes is in the top five), which actually underscores the point. People are dying at higher rates because they can get cheap calories at a rate unprecedented in human history.
Perfect Hash Functions are possible, but in my limited experience they rarely out-perform the naive thing where you pre-size the hash table to fit all your data (avoid grow-on-insert overhead).

PHFs have two downsides: Finding a PHF for your data can take a bunch of CPU time so it's frustrating to have in your build, and the resulting hash function can be much more costly than a simpler hash function. That is, the cost of hashing can more than dominate an extra lookup in a tiny fraction of cases.

I'd say the use case for PHF is more when you're absolutely memory-bound, e.g. in an embedded ROM. For anything else, just bump up your hash table size a little, to not have those collisions.
