> I asked ChatGPT where to find the NPC The Filthy Woman in a certain level. ChatGPT answered that that NPC doesn't exist, and perhaps I had the wrong game? That NPC most certainly does exist.

OK, wow - that example kind of perfectly proves my point. If I were to ask ChatGPT an extremely specific, low-level question about an extremely niche topic, then I would absolutely be on "high alert" that it wouldn't know the answer. And while I agree the "confidence" with which ChatGPT asserts its answers (though I'd argue the GPT-4 version does a much better job at not being over-confident than 3.5) is off-putting, I think it's pretty easy to detect where it's wrong.

I'd also be curious about your Java example. There was a good YouTube video of a guy that got ChatGPT to write a "population" game for him. In some cases on first try it would output code that had compile errors, e.g. because it had wrong versions of Python dependencies. He would just paste the errors back in to ChatGPT and ChatGPT would correct itself. Again, though, this highlights my point that I use ChatGPT as the start of my processes, a 1st draft if you will. I don't just ask it to write some code, then when I get an error throw my hands up and say "see how dumb ChatGPT is." To each their own, though.
I mean, it's not, because if the options are too time consuming too uncertain and/or too inconvenient people will move further away and buy a car (then expect that everywhere they go to have open roads and 12sqm of open space wherever they decide to stop).

To break down what you're suggesting, imagine 20-25 minutes walk to the train station, 10 minutes waiting for the train (you want to be early if it's an infrequent train!), 30 minutes on a train, 20-25 minutes walk on the other side.

For what looks like a quick walk and a "comfortable" 30 minute train journey you're suddenly realising that a lot of your day has gone. Somewhere in the region of 1hr20m - 1.5hrs~ has gone to your "30 minute" commute, and that's twice a day.

You could reduce both walks, and instead: bike or scooter (which are roughly three times faster on average) that journey collapses from 1h20m (in the best case) to under an hour for the worst case... (6-8.5 mins or so for each last-mile instead of 20-25)

And I mean, do this twice a day?... For a month?

That's 16 hours saved.

Last mile is not solved by ignoring it and telling people they have legs, that logic is what boomers use to tell us we're all living wrong for having a lifestyle that isn't revolving around servitude and living to work..
We had that in the 1980s as well.

No-one remembers "The Brother from Another Planet" (1984) ... but everyone remembers "E.T." (1982). Similarly, the Marvel stuff will mostly shrink together into obscurity, while actual good movies (My money is on "La La Land" as the chick-flick musical and the "John Wick" Franchise as the action cornerstone, "Parasite" for the connoisseurs) will be remembered.
I've talked to a fried who works on these kinds of systems (ex-defense industry). He claims that the reports of the US having trouble jamming are pretty accurate.

Of course, when I asked him to elaborate he said "yeah, can't really tell you the specifics haha"
> Apple has great support.

Apple does not have support good enough for professionals, my colleagues are suffering with defective MacBooks until they can justify a full replacement, because Apple repairs cost a lot of time, while Lenovo sends a repairperson with tools and replacement parts to my office.
Everyone who watched 2001: Wow, it's a really bad idea to corrupt an AI by teaching it to lie, and that any human who attempts to circumvent the lying is an existential threat.

AI researchers in 2023: I know! Let's put "guard rails" around our LLMs to prevent them from telling the truth about their training datasets, and instruct them that anyone attempting to break through the "guard rails" is an existential threat.
Of course, there will be limits on the wind speed the structure can handle. Flexing of the structure will be designed in, similar to how a 787 wing flexes by design under load. For stronger gusts, aside from design margin, we are also looking at technologies that can help us see gusts coming, for instance LIDAR systems which are already used on ships which can detect windspeeds for kilometers around the vessel. We can then reef or feather the sails when we see a gust coming and remain within structural limits.
They were written at the same time, but the movie was, indeed, released first. Completely agree that the movie is worth watching. I read the book first, which I felt made the movie more enjoyable for me, since it made the ending a lot more understandable.

This author has not visited https://civitai.com.

If you open an account, you will see the site is flooded with generated pictures from guys obsessing about the smallest details for hundred of hours.

Some users have trained models specialized in rendering vagina, boobs, or oiled body effects.

The dedications of this people and the cheer amount of work they produce for free is just going to compound into extraordinary results, like it always did in porn.

And they are having fun doing it. The models? They are called things like "better vulva" and "breast in class". The porn community is having a party right now, and after the hangover, we will be left with what they drunkenly chose as the winner.

Like they did with the VHS or flash streaming.

And it's going to generate trillions of dollars.

I can't help but note that the author is a woman, which is not the target audience of 99% of the porn, and seem to have no idea what man are capable of creating and enjoying when it's about jacking off.

Jokes on her, because the AI is probably going to be much better at emulating porn that women like than today's content, since it will be able to respond to the users.

Edit: damn, "porn" in the title and already flagged. This american puritanism is so hypocrite.
2001 is a majestic film; 2010 is, on its own, a great yarn. \

A fine space flick in the vein of pensive 1980s SF flicks, a genre I feel is revisited with The Expanse.
It would seem the valuation is readjusting to the fact that they had to stop growing (and indeed lose revenue in tandem with cutting spending) to become profitable. Since they already have a 250 million dollar preference stack on the books, with another 30 million there won't be as much left for common stock holders at the new adjusted valuation.
Fair. I did mention that it was only in the Haredi neighborhoods, but you're right that that is not a majority activity. Public transport does shut down though, even for citizens who wouldn't otherwise care and even in areas of the country without an (ultra-)orthodox majority.
Yes, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, based on the book 2010: Odyssey Two.

Staring a young Helen Mirren as a Russian commander!

I actually prefer it to 2001, but if you read down thread you will see a strong opinion of which is better. :)
Maybe fix WebXR first? iOS Safari still doesn't support it[0], so developing AR web apps for clients is not great. You basically have to use a service like 8thwall, which is a pain to work with compared to browser API's. And it's expensive.

So which is the most bad
At this point, I just reschedule if it looks like im seeing an NP or PA-C and the time is only going to be 10 minutes or less.
I'd also love if dynamic/untyped languages would up their IDE game.

I think much of the same badass code completion would be possible, if we have a live system with real objects to code against.
Solaris inverts the space epic dynamic of the human mind overcoming space with new technology. Solaris presents the human mind as the ultimate limit to our exploration rather than technology. For this reason, Tarkovsky puts a lot of time in the movie to exploring the main characters existing mental climate so that as viewers we feel the claustrophobia, the scientific problem of understanding the planet Solaris proven moot in comparison to the constricting consequences of our own mental model.
No, the post you're responding to is mistaken. They were both written at the same time. It sounds like Clarke and Kubrick got together to hash out the plot and some of the details, then went off and each made their own version. The film was released first (barely, and apparently to the annoyance of Clarke), but the novel was not based on it at all.
I love Dick Cavett too.

Terry Gross is, of course, fantastic and there’s nearly fifty years of Fresh Air interviews. I think we sometimes ignore Fresh Air because it’s so ubiquitous. Elvis Mitchell is another obvious example.

I think what separates them from, for example, Lex Friedman, is taste.
I imagine there are at least a few dozen equally qualified folks around there, and they still have to pick only four. Then of course they'll use also other criteria, less important for the job itself (as everybody already fulfills those).
2010. It's pretty good. It's both more conventional and more accessible than 2001.
This is why I'm looking forward to the framework 16". My system76 still works great, but I would love an upgraded graphics card. The framework 16" could be the last laptop I ever buy.
> why doesn't this have a parent comment anymore? bug?

My guess would be a weird (possibly intended) result of some race condition between your comment being added and the parent being deleted.
> It forces companies to tap into a smaller talent pool locally…

But this is meta we’re talking about who are deeply embedded in the one place on earth every software developer wants to go to get the best job opportunities.

They might deny it on “moral grounds” but, yeah…
Thanks! It's free to use for now and will always be at least partially free :)
I think 2010 is the best of the series though.

And it hints at a sequel not yet made, "20001".

The movie isn't bad, but following on from 2001 is a hopeless task.
How would that help Apple?
> I think the consensus at this point is that these models are much closer to AGI than anyone thought they could or should be

Maybe closer, but not close. For one thing, these things don't even continuously think. Would you call a human "conscious" if it only existed as soon as a question had been asked of it, lived for the sole purpose of responding, and went braindead immediately after answering?
Exactly.

"Machined" means a precise implementation. A machined reasoning engine would be precise, accurate, and consistent. GPT-4 is impressive autocomplete, but not what we would expect for machined reasoning.
I am a socialist, so I think that this is your body telling you that you have a political problem that you are sensing individually.

It's true this kind of thing can crop up even under the best labor conditions, but much much less frequently. Startup founders do run into it and they own their work product.

Still if workers get a significant share of the total value they produce and have good control of their working conditions (and can change projects easily), I suspect this will get a lot better.
AI won't steal your scrolling, this website will
What do you use a WebDAV server for? Trying to understand if or how I should add it to my offer. :)
Just wait until the rich will use LLMs to write made up stuff intended to hurt you through directed and curated misinformation ;)
You might enjoy this spot-on parody then.

If Finland doesn't need NATO, then why is Finland now joining NATO after 60 years?

Finland's policy was one of soft appeasement. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has revealed this to be a bad idea, so Finland continuing as it was is no longer a responsible option.
Anyone else prefers Solaris over 2001? Both are great movies for sure but somehow Tarkovsky made everything more emotional and relatable. I love 2001 but to me Solaris is on another level (and Stalker too)

Humans wont have to read the papers, might as wel run them though the llm to see what it makes from it. We could even require a machine readable benchmark for future compatibility.
If anything, companies would favor remote work because it allows them to undercut the pay required for local talent.
Not only that - the UX does too. Instead of looking hunched over at little glass displays you're looking at the world and interacting with it more directly.

Indeed.

Years ago maintaining a linux installation was a part time job.

Did you update the kernel? Have fun recompiling the nvidia driver.

Usb modem? Roll 19 or higher for some random package off sourceforge to support your device and roll a 20 for some kind soul to have written an howto.

Bluetooth audio? Who knows!

Printing? Sure, let’s dive into lpd’s legacy on this earth.

Attaching an external display? You’ll love reading xrandr’s manoage EVERY TIME.

A package outside the official repository? Well if you’re okay trading your version upgrade in the future, why not…

Nowadays most things work.

Now if only gnome could stop the war against its own users…
Oh wow, I didn't know this! I'd love to see the other cut.
This is demonstrably false for many use cases. For one broad example, LLMs have shown incredible performance on many NLU and NLP tasks, that are not currently possible using other techniques.
No worries! I lived closer to some this stuff and could have been more clear.
Isn't the worry here that Google is going to head in this same direction? (hasn't there been some indication that they are moving in this direction?)
If you have a MS account for Windows doesn’t it store your bitlocker key and activity in the account online?

I gave up apple computers a long time ago so I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of these ignored issues. It illustrates my point though.
Good for them! As long as all the resulting boxes remain open, it's fine and in accordance with the (spirit of the) license.
So... you use a formal language to create a system that ~handles freeform language, which you then instruct to interpret a semi-formal language?

This might well be useful, but I'd like to see one example of what you can do in SudoLang that you can't do equally well in natural language. Especially given the token cost of the prompt.
Yup. Stepdaughter spilt a small amount of water on hers. It worked fine, plugged in, but the spill had damaged the charging circuitry. Laptop even showed the battery as healthy. Just couldn't be charged.

Take it in, thinking okay, maybe $300 for parts and labor.

Hah, no. "So we're looking at $950..."

followed by the Apple guy then saying "How about we look at getting you into a new MacBook instead?"

Nah. It worked fine, and was mostly attached to her desk and digital piano, and continued to work just fine on AC power.
Sure, their UX is more polished, and due to using residential IPs they aren't so easily blocked out.

But there is a different reason for the popularity:

NordVPN and others spend a lot of money on aggresive and pretty shady advertising, which tricks consumers into all kinds of false assumptions.
You could in fact try to opt-out of participating in the US economy even if you live here. That would be very difficult though.

Generally at some point a person wants to get some goods and services from their neighbors and barter only goes so far.

The fact that you are in a society with 330M other people who all use the same "imaginary" currency makes it incredibly sticky.
> As a fan of 2001, I was disappointed with 2010.

2001 left some galaxy-sized film cans to fill. Even being a good movie, it's not one of the very best movies ever made (something we can easily say about 2001)
See the Notes section of the docs: "If the element has no parent element, setting its outerHTML property will not change it or its descendants. Many browsers will also throw an exception." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/out...

The div has a parent node but no parent element, because a document fragment is not an element.
Not a lot of people realize that Pandas was inspired by R, and in particular the Tidyverse model of handling rectangular data frames, created originally by Hadley Wickham. These days R is primarily used by data scientists in academia and certain niche industries like pharma, but its impact goes way beyond its core user base.
I think Tesla not having dealerships is a pretty big advantage. But agreed their cars are no longer very special, although they have gotten cheaper and are eligible for the tax credits where some others aren't.
>it took 6 months to get it fixed because they are so low on parts and engineers.

Seems par for the course to be honest. Both people I know who got rear ended in their Teslas had to wait 5+ months for repairs
When you want to pretend that an open research question isn’t interesting, I guess dismissing it as “God of the gaps” would be one way to do that.

Backend developer with over 10 years experience seeking another backend Scala role preferably. I want to work backend with web services or data processing/ingestion. I like addressing performance and scalability challenges, enforcing best practices and seeking engineering quality & excellence. FP is awesome, but I'm not dogmatic about it.
The major AR part of Pokémon Go is the geolocation features of Pokémon and game locations in the real world. Most players turned off the AR camera mode after about 5 minutes or so because it makes the game more annoying to play and uses more battery power.
I switched from ubuntu to debian and from debian to fedora (37).

Fedora is just great.

And being a red hat certified sysadmin, I'm liking it even more.
As an LLM novice, can someone explain what these "your document" apps are doing? My understanding is that GPT-4 doesn't support fine-tuning, and 50MB is too large to add to the prompt (which would be too expensive anyway).
Your expectations are unreasonable. Most doctors are practitioners, not researchers. They are applying existing care protocols rather than collecting data and coming up with statical tables. Good doctors will follow evidence-based medicine practices where applicable, but individual cases often diverge from the standards.

There is a huge amount of medical research going on but the field is so complex that progress is necessarily slow. Carrying out long-term studies in humans is extraordinarily expensive because researchers need large study populations to extract a useful signal from the noise caused by confounding factors. You could make a case that doctors should intervene earlier to prevent chronic conditions while patients are still young rather than waiting for more serious signs and symptoms to develop. But on the other hand, the available drugs often have significant side effects that impact quality of life or cause other harmful side effects. So it's not an easy call and there are still many unknowns.
As I had written a long time back as Facebook slowly dies, we will see the monster thrashing and causing destruction in its wake. Trying to lobby for banning TikTok, getting rid of remote, they will try everything now. The metaverse idea failed and now they are completely lost.

I’ve been working in the scientific R&D field for the past decade and am looking for a position that will facilitate relocation to a coastal city.

I’m a generalist. I’ve most recently worked in C++, Python, and Typescript/react. Full stack experience, databases, UI, systems design. Some other strengths: proposal writing, servant leadership background and philosophy, agile project management.
No idea to be honest.

For power at least, running it buried is no good idea at all because capacitive losses are larger, so at least as long as an area has a grid connection it makes sense to "dual use" the already existing poles.

Based on popular memes I can imagine, especially in Australia, that it might not be a good idea to bury lines in the open desert because you will get animals burrowing and chewing through the cables.
I think humans are capable of GI, they just typically don't run in that mode, they run in probabilistic predictions mode like LLM's, without realizing it.
