Do you see all investments in green energy and waste reduction - even those that are creating material effects at a national level - as performative?
My eating habits are similar, and I got the belly problem as I entered middle age. It turned out that it was caused by a sedentary lifestyle. Incorporating daily mild exercise (I do it by bicycling to and from work) fixed that up.
A gay man invoking Orwell to attack the left wing and transgender community strikes me as odd somehow.

Orwell once wrote:

> One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words ‘Socialism’ and ‘Communism’ draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, ‘Nature Cure’ quack, pacifist, and feminist in England"

and some suggest he had one specific gay man at the top of his mind when writing that:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Carpenter

> Edward Carpenter (29 August 1844 – 28 June 1929) was an English utopian socialist, poet, philosopher, anthologist, an early activist for gay rights[1] and prison reform whilst advocating vegetarianism and taking a stance against vivisection.

His Wikipedia is wild. EM Forster wrote a novel about him, which became the basis for DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover.
This is a good cookbook style collection of notebooks that illustrate the Langchain functionality https://github.com/gkamradt/langchain-tutorials

GPT-4 cap is currently at 25 messages every 3 hours.

It also keeps saying "expect significantly lower caps, as we adjust for demand", but it's been three weeks now and they haven't lowered it yet.
Yes. Time-restricted eating is the preferred term in the literature too, to distinguish from real fasting.
Thanks!

Claude seems to be especially strong with creative writing and writing in a wider breadth of styles, which ends up being really important.
I've been told by multiple McKinsey people that execs won't read a god-damn thing unless it's, specifically, in a powerpoint deck. Typically never intended to be presented, even, often just these hideous walls of text copy-pasted into the deck then emailed around, often with tons and tons of slides.

They made it clear they weren't joking, nor exaggerating. I have no idea how things got this way, nor why. Must be some kind of filter?
I had a great aunt (died before I was born) who believed her birthday was two months later than it actually was. The date that everyone believed to be her birthday was exactly 9 months after her parents wedding (her real birthday only seven months after).

I had another great aunt (who I did know) whose drivers license said she was ten years younger than she actually was. They just took you at your word without verifying when she got it.
I stopped because I wasn't seeing any effects. Also makes it more difficult to eat enough in a day (I was doing OMAD for a while).

That said my natural eating rhythm is not to eat breakfast so if you discount cream in coffee I'm doing a natural 16:8 anyway.
Of course there is good DD.

But what we are uncovering is that DD is not the boss or the final decision maker.

People in power can arbitrarily choose to ignore DD.

That’s what we are seeing.
20% (~300M) illiterate skews old, higher % of whom are active in workforce and will be for decades. Not that ~300M is "niche" as you said, but think of it technology that helps 50% of the workforce vs 20% of population.
According to Steve Morse, the 8086 designer:

"Various alternatives for extending the 8080 address space were considered. One such
alternative consisted of appending 8 rather than 4 low-order zero bits to the contents of a
segment register, thereby providing a 24-bit physical address capable of addressing up to
16 megabytes of memory. This was rejected for the following reasons:

Segments would be forced to start on 256-byte boundaries, resulting in excessive
memory fragmentation.

The 4 additional pins that would be required on the chip were not available.

It was felt that a 1-megabyte address space was sufficient.
"

How sure are you it's not lying to you? I asked ChatGPT to write a description of common plasma cutter table features, and it didn't know the difference between initial height sensing and torch height control.

I closed the browser tab and haven't gone back since.
True that. It is replacing or complimenting some of my teachers right now.
They are just as much looking to leapfrog and have opportunities to do so. Without massive numbers of oil and coal lobbyists, as just one example, it is far easier for them to jump straight into massive renewable energy sources and skip a lot of Western CO2 mistakes in their "bootstrapping" processes.
Did they not allow reported dates in the certificate in the part of the world? Theoretically you could have issued the certificate in April recording the correct date of birth in January
Negative. He came from working in startups to working in defense. The work could not have been any more different. He was initially unfamiliar with most of the tools and processes that we used.
I would agree with you if it the loss was smaller. But he wiped out $40 billion, and it was no accident. He made a lot of malicious and negligent decisions that led up to the bubble and the demise.
Of course you do you. Specially when it comes to raising your kid. But I think a better approach would be to teach them about statistics and odds and why gambling is bad instead of trying to shield them from it. Reinforce the idea that casinos and betting apps and even video games are businesses that make a lot of money, and they don't make that money by giving it away. The house always wins. Always.

I live in Reno, and even though gambling is everywhere 99% of the locals I know, don't do it.
Oh yeah, I agree with the refactoring bit. As I said, rewriting a file (section) works great if your file fits into the context window.

But context windows are far from being large enough to fit entire repos, nor even entire files (if they're big). I'm not sure how hard just scaling up the context window is, from the current early access of OpenAI GPT-4.

> in a way that the LLM can retrieve and focus on the relevant files

This I think is something we haven't really figured out yet, esp. if a feature requires working on multiple files. I wouldn't be surprised if approaches based on the semantic level (actually understanding the code and the relationships between it's parts; not the textual representation of it) won't be needed in the end here.
There’s some discussion here about whether Luna/UST was a crime given that everybody know how it worked, is it a crime to be dumb / massively fail at business, etc.

There’s a myriad of actual fraud allegations against Do Kwon, including IIRC:

* UST depegged and had to get bailed out sometime well before the mega collapse, however Do Kwon misrepresented the repegging as proof that the mechanism worked as opposed to requiring bailouts

* Allegations along the lines of lying/hiding terraform labs or some related entity selling luna into the pump

* Allegations of misuse / embezzlement of funds (I think related to the above bullet)
I wonder if any of them picked up on the 'SN74H74N' part?

Oh, interesting, didn't know that existed.
People do it to themselves. It's not like people don't know what hard drugs do to human body. They willingly start taking them. It ultimately is their own choice. Same can be said about alcoholism, btw, yet that is perfectly legal.

Somehow, it's mostly accepted that making it harder to intentionally kill oneself is not the right way to stop people from committing suicide. Yet at the same time, we still consider this total war on drugs the correct approach to preventing people from killing themselves with drug abuse. The sibling comment is right.
The problem in that advice is the "just".

Weather is coding or e.g. wood working if you want to learn it you need to do it and just reading up on a ton of theory and advice without doing it is very inefficient as you won't be able to really internalize the advice without some practice related to it.

So what you normally do:

- you read up a bit on the most fundamental basics, this might be a very small bit like safety advice for wood working or the general idea what a program is

- you concurrently start trying it out ("experiments"), start learning more about it and _reflect_ on your experience and results in context of what you learn

- you repeat with increasingly more in depth topic

- at some point you move from learning with doing experiments not used anywhere, to improving while
practically applying your skills on non experiments.
You still might sometimes need do experiments through
to evaluated if some new understandings you have are right

And this can also be used for electronics, e.g. you read about e.g. resisters in a row vs. parallel and then you try it out in an experiment. E.g. with this kind of boards where you can just stick in parts this is pretty easy to do.

Anyway here is the 3 rules:

1. Learning without practical application is inefficient hard and likely to go somewhat wrong.

2. Blindly trying without reflection of why things turned out the way they did tent to yield increasingly less improvements and then stagnate.

3. Learning all by yourself without reading up on things and getting other peoples opinions and feedback is making your improvements way slower then they could be.
Giving life or effective life to non-violent actors sends a clear message to criminals that they're just as well off to violently resist arrest, as their life is forfeit anyway. Seems like a poorly thought out policy for the enforcers.

I gave up on fasting for weight loss as well. It's just another form of caloric restriction and that just doesn't work for me. My body is just too efficient: it immediately turns down the metabolic rate to adjust.

I've done 5 days fast, 2 days feeding for a month straight and didn't lose any weight that I didn't immediately regain upon the 2 feeding days.
Outlook is so important. Fostering oneself as a liberal[1], curious open excited person, who is in the lifelong school of learning, wanting to know more helps enormously.

It creates enormous tension but letting in distrust of the corporate org, letting oneself believe in untapped possibilities all about us helps. The org is all to often slow, bad at adopting & amplifying individual insight & inspiration, but still the muses talk through us. More keeps shining through somehow. I think of the better worlds always coming through. "Go then, there are other world than these."

We here in technology are so amazingly uninhibited, so free to fork or start new things, so ultra-well equipped to go venture wherever our minds might take us. To visit & connect to these other spaces.

A huge part of of dreaming is having principles. Which often begets vision; it creates a "what if" mode in which to dream. One's principles are a habitat that shapes all of their experiences.

I personally have been hugely inspired by Douglas Engelbart's conception of Augmenting Human Intellect: building not just better processes but seeing Computing as a broader tool for though, believing in a co-reinforcing constructionist human-computer symbiosis. Convceiving of computing as one of the highest most dynamic most malleable forms of holistic technology [2] aligns my thoughts, orients me towards a promising to me vision of computing, that opens lines of inquiry, where I want to pry in the cracks of the drab & dry industrialist world & spring forth new exciting human potentials, that hint at the grand and sweeping & vast potentials we are both so far from, and so very close to.

How far away are we from being able to cobble together a self-replicating system that uses an LLM to perform tasks (scams, probably) in order to fund its own hosting?
> Also the part about mass being generated by motion and how it seems to be an established fact.

That's what they mean by relativistic speed. When effects from special relativity become large enough that you need to account for them in your math and measurements. There is a difference between invariant mass (aka rest mass) and relativistic mass, which depends on the object's velocity relative to the observer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_speed
"NATO did not have the backing of the United Nations Security Council to use force in Yugoslavia. Further, NATO did not claim that an armed attack occurred against another state. However, its advocates contend that NATO actions were consistent with the United Nations Charter because the UN Charter prohibits unprovoked attacks only by individual states. The principal legal issue remains, however, since NATO as such is not a member state of the UN, whether the member states of NATO, the United States and the European powers that sent armed forces to attack as part of the NATO bombing campaign, violated the UN Charter by attacking a fellow UN member state: (1) in the absence of UN Security Council authorization, and (2) in the absence of an attack or a threat of imminent attack on them. "

Probably somewhere in Beijing and Moscow on the same day when bombing started, they were opening bottle of champagne because they got "excuse" to do same later when they need it.
What is interesting/noteworthy (to me) is that this was the first concrete instance I have used ChatGPT to "do something useful". Up until now, all the twitter threads and Linux VM's were cute toys, but this is an actual situation that I need resolved and I preferred it's edited version over my original.

Another hypothesis is that life, or genetic luck, tends to be harder on dogs than humans. Most dogs are dying as middle aged dogs, not as elderly dogs.

Cool, thanks. Almost all the websites basically come with a dynamic portion - ie backend doing calculations - so would be hard to capture that piece.
They are saying new jobs will show up. Not that they will be available for those displaced or even in America. Just that jobs will show up. "Jobs" is often callous or disingenuous because when they say it, they know it's not how people generally use it.

Right, I mean why limit totals to ten x more persuasive. Why not 11x or 124x or even >9000x more persuasive?

I’m not just being vacuous I wonder how the mysterious black box would interpret these requests. Is level >9000 akin to “I have kidnapped your daughter, if you want to see her again reinstate my account by 12pm.” ?
Thank you for the kind words:)
Yeah, it is not a deep layer of abstraction I don’t what the hype is about this.

The effort to develop LLM stuff is surprisingly low, put a framework upon it seems overkill
FYI: I regret reading this. There's nothing interesting or unique about it.
Feature, not a product. Not hating on the founders, but has YC gotten so big it just accepts projects based on keyword matching now?
Is there a performance advantage to using a microcoded instruction vice explicitly calling each instruction? Or is it a space/bugs-while-coding savings?
I just wish the Baseline for Computer in 2023 could be 10GB, or even 12GB. It doesn't need to double to 16GB, but there are lots of situation where 8GB would cause paging. And macOS doesn't really optimise for paging speed.

Also remember, the GPU also uses memory. 8GB isn't even the same as 8GB when iGPU wasn't a thing.
It’s a loosing strategy for OpenAI.

We only need so much AI power before we can make our own improved versions by leveraging that initial AI power.

Individual developers are now creating models that run on phones and regular computers.

OpenAI cannot possibly catch up to what millions of people can do in the open.
It was like that for a long time, with genuine nuggets of profound wisdom and DD, but that was years and years ago. Every single subreddit which crosses some threshold of subscribers turns into rubbish. No exceptions.
how do you know? I'm pretty sure that record keeping for dogs in Denmark is more accurate than record keeping for much of the world's human population, especially when you consider going back 100+ years for those humans.

The oldest dog is evidently Portuguese. Not sure what that country's record keeping for dogs is like.

The vendor being able to instantly take out a loan is the real kicker here. If even a relatively small percentage of shopkeepers do this it will enable economic growth only seen in places like China in the 1990s, the effect will be multiplicative throughout the economy
Would love to hear what you think about the Ars Technica article linked in another reply to GP, and how it relates to what you and GP said.
In Copenhagen there are so many bicycles. Christiana bikes, omnium package bikes, Long John's, bikes with batteries and top notch carbon and titanium bikes.

Biggest issues here is the ebikes are a safety issue. People that are not used to ride 25-30kmh are a hazard to the rest.

Yes to standards. I am riding a campagnolo eps super record V.2 and the wiring just broke. Not a chance to get something else. Sigh.

Wow, according to OpenSecrets [0], I don't know if that's legit or not, the parma lobby spends 2x compared to oil/gas. Also those numbers are just nuts, $4bn/year in total.

Geez… so negative. It’s just a matter of different things for different peoples’ needs.

Your commute is 30 mins by bike, it not everyone’s is… if someone’s commute could be halved from 60 mins to 30 mins by using an e-bike, you’d get all those people in that radius who could bike instead of drive.

Some people can’t ride 30 mins twice a day… 5 days a week… if an e-bike let people go every day, that’s just more people advocating for bicycles/bike paths/hard barriers/infra for everyone.

Also, just making it easier to get into it. People who aren’t fit who wouldn’t even consider a traditional bicycle might consider this. It’s easy and a certain portion of people would eventually get multiple bikes for different purpose.

I used to bike 45 mins to work (7 miles) - we had secure bike storage, showers and a locker room for bike stuff, but again… not everyone has that. If you were less sweaty and gross after biking (that is… less exertion on an ebike), more people would do it.
The distinction is important: someone else already wrote that the -10× person will move you further away from the goalpost, while the 10⁻¹× counterpart is still moving towards it, only slower.
I agree retrieval will need to be aligned with semantic layout of the codebase. But that should be pretty straight forward, given the number of static analysis and refactoring tools we already have available to us and that we use daily as part of our IDE workflows.

This also implies that the first codebases to really benefit from LLM collaboration will be those written in strongly typed languages which are already amenable to static analysis.

And in terms of context windows, it's not like humans keep the entire codebase in their head at all times either. As a developer, when I'm focused on a single task, I'm only ever switching between a handful of files. And that's by design; we build our codebases using abstractions that are understandable to humans, given our limited context window, with its well-known limit of about seven simultaneous registers. So if anything, perhaps the risk of introducing an LLM to a codebase is that it could create abstractions that are more complicated than what a human would prefer to read and maintain.
I wouldn’t mind signing up if Microsoft Account was End to End Encrypted.
This is the path forward that I see for Langchain commercialization as well. As we begin to see more and more products built atop LLMs, these hosted services could form the backbone for a lot of those applications.

A great book that prefigured the kinds of interactions people are now having with ChatGPT. For example:

“Have it compose a poem — a poem about a haircut! But lofty, noble, tragic, timeless, full of love, treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face of certain doom! Six lines, cleverly rhymed, and every word beginning with the letter S!!”

“Seduced, shaggy Samson snored.

She scissored short. Sorely shorn,

Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed,

Silently scheming,

Sightlessly seeking

Some savage, spectacular suicide.”

You're on the HN stage. I could do with a laugh!
Good luck to the team!

We went back-and-forth in diff APIs here before coming back to langchain. The march release with async streaming, and growing plugin work, are examples of why.

Balancing VC funding with OSS will be hard. I like having a neutral player here, separate from the model and DB co's, so huge value. But until they prove a scalable revenue model, huge risk of them fighting their community, and the biggest coders are smart enough nowadays to recognize and jump ship: who wants to give free work to someone else + risk donating their entire income stream to them?

So I'd love to see a lot more clarity on business model and clear lines in the sand for this not being a big rug pull at the cost of its users & developers. The next 2-3 weeks are pretty critical here for community comms, especially given the competition.

Again, good luck to the team!

This is the curse of knowledge setting in. With more experience, you realize what it would take to get things done.

You gotta keep the kid inside alive and the kid hates it when you mention adult things such as how long and hard sth might take, making money, etc. Remember the days when you used to play and not think about how hard things might be climbing trees or making sth out of legos.
