I wouldn't quite go that far, but the longer I am building these models into systems, I think the good use case for LLMs/Generative AI can be categorized into a few types of systems.

1. Data collection - Obvious, creating a voice/text interface into an existing system where the problem and requirements are well known. Eg, booking a restaurant. It needs a time, place, people. Collecting that from voice/text can be convenient in many situations. Same with different types of models collecting data from video/images/etc.

2. Providing options - When the desired output is unknown, but a human can describe the problem. Eg, coding, art, many "I need an X that can Y for problem Z". ChatGPT does a great job of this and I think most of the value of generative AI is here currently.

Most of the hype is around how far can we take the capabilities of solving this 2nd category to produce the third.

3. Agents - There are examples of solutions showing this potential but the 'killer app' I don't think has been demonstrated, at least well enough. AutoGPT, BabyAGI, etc are interesting, but in my experience don't yet perform nearly well enough. They fail far too often for any trust to be created. This doesn't mean GPT4 native plugins won't get there, they could and that will create a large amount of value in this category (I don't have access to Plugins). This is also where a lot of "selling the dream" is happening. It seems plausible we will get there, but still not clear how these will be accepted and used in the real world, by average users.

One big area of value IMO for Agents is accessibility. People with physical disabilities, but still have the ability to speak I think will provide massive quality of life improvements through being able to interact more easily with more systems.

Very interesting times, the speed of change has seemed amazing, and that for me is the part that creates the most unknown, and is hard to ignore the hype when plotting the rate of improvement and the possibility of Agents becoming an accepted tool in wider society.

The value provided by Crypto/VR is way more limited, and the accessibility of the tech ranges from bad to worse. VR has a lot of utility, but due to the headset requirement, it is disconnected from a lot of the real world. Lots use cases for specific problems, but less widely accessible as generative AI by a long way.

Crypto IMO should be ignored, at best it assists with the financialization of everything which doesn't provide value to a wide portion of society, it provides a means of value extraction.
Travelling changed the perspective so much of me, I realised that a lot of things I was hesitant to do or even thinking was directed by the unpalatable attachment to the static environment.
Not only it is a federal crime punishable by five years , there is a specialized police force for it, the USPS Postal Inspectors.
Plea hearing is fun reading: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.58...

> So, Mr. Zhong, the statute of limitations for the crime you're charged with in the information is five years. Accordingly, you could argue that the time to prosecute you for this crime has passed, and that the crime is now time barred; you can no longer be prosecuted. Have you discussed this with Mr. Bachner?

> THE DEFENDANT: Yes, your Honor.

> THE COURT: And is it true that you agree to waive any statute of limitations defense you might have with respect to this charge in the information?

> THE DEFENDANT: Yes, your Honor.

For some reason this bug was not as sophisticated as I thought it was:

> THE DEFENDANT: ...In September of 2012, after using the site just once or twice, I decided I no longer wanted to buy anything else from Silk Road and decided to withdraw my bitcoin from the website. While doing so, I accidentally double-clicked the withdraw button and was shocked to discover that it resulted in allowing me to withdraw double the amount of bitcoin I had deposited

His sentencing submission is also interesting: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.58...

> After Jimmy took the Bitcoin from Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht contacted Jimmy over the Silk Road messaging service and asked him to explain how he accessed the Bitcoin. After Jimmy told him what he did, Ulbricht never asked Jimmy to return the coins. Rather, he thanked Jimmy for his candor and sent him, unsolicited, additional Bitcoin. Silk Road’s response to Jimmy’s conduct is hardly the response of a victim.

> The Government notes that Jimmy waited around four months from the date of the search to turn over control of the Bitcoin to the Government

> Although the Government had seized the physical device needed to control most of the Bitcoin, the Government had no way to use that device to control the Bitcoin without Mr. Zhong’s cooperation. Jimmy gave the Government, with no promise of anything in return, the keys and tools needed to take control of billions of dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—control that the Government would not have been able to gain without Jimmy’s cooperation

Psychological report: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.58...

> He recalled converting some of his Bitcoin into $700,000 in cash. He stated he did this so that he would have a “case full of money like in the movies.” He hoped the visual appeal of the cash would impress a female into having sexual relations with him. He stated his plan did not work.

Government was fairer than usual in their sentencing submission, only asked for 24 months. Honestly this whole story just makes me kind of sad. Also makes me wonder why he even agreed to give up the coins.
No doubt because forums are entirely about the individual. The prompts that spark one’s own mental state may technically come from other humans, but that is ultimately immaterial. If those prompts were generated by some kind of GPT-like model nothing would change. For all I know you are a GPT model, but it matters not. The entertainment derived from writing this comment is the same.

Interaction with real people is a shared experience; something very different.
I wish we could adopt "autos" as the term. You would think that something called an automobile would be able to drive itself.
I hate this industry so much. I know what a trie is, but having it dangled over my head by some smarmy git like this: Just the thought of it fills me with so much sadness. These "Junior year computer science problems" just make me so angry even reading about them. I'll start interviewing in a year or so, it just fills me with despair knowing this is what I'll face when I do.
> And bombing North Korea would be an act of war

Fun fact: the US is technically still at war with Korea. The Korean war was never actually stopped...

But I do agree resuming hostilities would lead to unpredictable and undesirable outcomes.
Indoor rock climbing is something I’ve found to be pretty gender-diverse a well as welcoming!
In the "Legacy of Aldenata" series (mostly by John Ringo) Mike and his team of combat-suit-clad mobile infantry have Artificial Sentiencees (ASes.) Mike calls his AS Shelly, Michelle, or some variation on his late wife's name.

Those are very close to GPT.
I don't actually know what most of the work in today's legal industry comprises, (by what metric?) but in a discussion like this, it seems like people are thinking of Perry Mason or LA Law, whereas I'm thinking of document review, bates stamps, software like Relativity or proprietary document management systems. Deduplication, and search queries. If the best search technology dominated, why wouldn't Google have already taken over years ago? I know that's what I used to wonder.

At least a few years ago, there seemed to be a lot of talk of disgruntled lawyers who turned to document review for low wages and miserable working conditions because they couldn't find "real" work. Can AI do that - for legal reasons, which after all, were why those lawyers got hired in the first place? Weren't the US based teams already replaced by offshore teams? How much can be gained now?

IOCP certainly was ahead of its time, but it only does the completion batching, not the submission batching. io_uring is significantly better than anything available on Windows right now.
Maybe there was something strategic about Dall-E, used for some sort of dataset collection/tuning for GPT4.

Like how Whisper unlocks a lot more text data for GPT4.
Show HN: SQLiteGPT – Directly query ChatGPT with SQL functions
Hi, today I realized I could query ChatGPT directly from SQLite with a custom SQL function. I'm incredible excited about the possibilities of this. All kinds of crazy AI powered data enhancement, extraction, summarization, analysis, … prompts are now only a SQL query away! =)

The implementation is just a prototype and it should be implemented as proper loadable extension in Rust with sqlite-loadable-rs.
Make sure to star the GitHub repo if you want to see this happen! ;-)
The whole point of inflation is to extract money from the economy to fund the government without tax increases. There's no way for wages to keep up with inflation.

> I had thought price increases don’t return to their prior levels

They don't under a fiat money system. They do under a system where the money is exchangeable at a fixed rate with something not under the control of the government.
>He lives in Germany too, where it takes way more effort to turn an incidental encounter into something more.
Hogwash.
You are used to a different culture is all.
As a German it does not take more effort to turn an encounter into "something more", you are just not used to the customs.
And you should be uncomfortable talking to someone who is indifferent about supporting industrialized animal torture that is also destroying the climate, just because animals are "lesser" or "created by God for us to eat". But that's like, whatever, not the reprehensible evil in fashion.

Unrelated to this topic, but I don't see a logical way around this.

I guess I shouldn't talk to anyone. Almost unironically. Or should disengage from people who push into my boundaries, who would turn me into a worse person. So any white supremacist who keeps trying to "convince" me would be substantially worse than a meat eater who respects my views and doesn't push.

Throwing US centric facts. 10,000 boomers retire every day. 1.8 million people 55+ die every year. A healthy economy makes anywhere between 150,000 and 250,000 jobs per month. There is no labor shortage, only a shortage of people willing to work jobs below a living wage, due to millions of people who left the labor force, either through retirement or death, during the pandemic.

> Can I buy sugar pills and tell myself “these pills will help with problem X” and have an expectation that they will work?

I've been told that this is the basis for magic, and that the answer is yes. Better still is to come up with a ritual that transforms them into problem-X pills, something symbolic of problem X. With practice, your magic might even become stronger (because you have prior experiences that make you believe).

Of course people invested in IQ will continue to research it while there is funding available. So whomever is conspiring to silence IQ research isn’t doing a good job since IQ research keeps being funded, and IQ research keeps being published (including in the article the OP links to).

Cognitive scientists of course read some of these studies, and respond with new studies, most of them don’t use IQ and are able to predict behavior just as well, and if not better. Some of them even compare models with IQ to models without IQ, almost always does the one without IQ perform better (sources below). That is what I mean when I say cognitive psychologists don’t use IQ.

If you have $5000 in a bank account, and a bug in the bank UI lets you withdraw $10000, the bank can and will come after you to get their money back. And if you intentionally exploit this bug to create 100 accounts with $5000 and withdraw a million, you've definitely committed a crime.
I'm a toothpaste last-bit-squeezer for sure. It's not loss aversion -- it's waste aversion. There's probably lots of reasons why I don't like to see things wasted, including social, or family upbringing, or personality. But I have the same impulses with food, clothes, computers, almost everything.

I don't always buy food in bulk to save on cost, or look for the best deals, but whatever I have bought I try my best not to waste. It's irresponsible. Maybe in some ways I feel it's bad for the environment, or sets a bad precedent for how I think people should behave. I don't mind what sort of things you choose to buy or like, but I would prefer you don't waste them.

Resources of all kinds are limited, so making the most of what we have is an important principle, at least for me. Sometimes it's silly -- eg. I really should replace those old socks with holes in them, I can definitely afford new ones, but if something can do a bit more before being thrown away or replaced, I'll try and get that much more out of it.
I really don’t think one (1) datapoint is enough to draw any conclusions about the seasonality of inflation.

I’m sure inflation will be at a higher than baseline level for some years but unless something like COVID happens again - what would be driving an increase in inflation?

Here's what you do without leaving obvious chargers dangling out of outlets. You don't need to even send a guy in a maintenance uniform out to the site, or tamper with installed equipment.

You're a decently high-capacity Chinese factory that makes custom USB outlets. You make a "special" line with a zero-day chip or firmware inline with a cable. The cable only needs to be a little fatter to accommodate some unobtrusive electronics. They are slid under the insulation and there is no dedicated PCB that may attract scrutiny.

You wait until the order comes in for the site(s) you wish to target, and you ship them off.

The countermove to this, of course, is that the installer does a fuzz test of the charging station with a few common devices, trying to tickle the bug, and also a protocol analyzer that will inspect the USB data stream for anything out of the ordinary.

My armchair quarterback mind says that the above security testing should be fairly effective if you are dealing with a low-level adversary. A state-sponsored one with sufficiently large enough state would not be hindered by puny countermeasures like that, and would be able to target more accurately.

Here's another countermeasure on the consumer level: optocoupling. This is good to mitigate voltage and amperage damage, even accidental or unintentional types. I suppose it would prevent charging too, but there's got to be something useful about it.
Imagine you have a piece of software that runs in an event loop (as many things do). On each loop, queue up all system calls you'd like to perform. At the end of the loop, do one syscall to execute the batch. At the start of the loop, check if anything has completed and continue the operation.

If you're processing a set of sockets and on any given loop N are ready, then with epoll you do N+1 syscalls. With io_uring you do 1. It's independent of N.
Been bouldering pretty heavily for the last three years but I have not found it to be a very good place for meeting people.
Incredible. An actual realistic livable minimum wage!

Some advice I saw on a video a couple of months ago, targetting employers:

"Take a look on Zillow (or wherever) and get a good feel for the median rental cost of a 1 bedroom apartment where you are based. If you can't afford to pay your employers at least 3x that, maybe you either shouldn't be in business at all, or should plan on doing it all yourself"

Excellent advice, that perhaps In-and-Out Burger has taken.

Some of the tech is open source ( https://github.com/EqualTo-Software/stackedit-sheet-markup ) and some of it depends on tech in our closed-source EqualTo Sheets product ( https://sheets.equalto.com/ ), which is in beta right now. We've considered open-sourcing some / all of EqualTo Sheets, and it may yet happen, but it's not something I could commit to right now.
I think you might be confusing depreciation with deflation?

A $25,000 car becomes a $20,000 car the moment you drive it off the lot due to depreciation.

But the purchasing power of $25,000 cash becomes $26,500 after a year of 5% deflation, which means you _gained_ purchasing power by doing nothing (aka not spending money) as the result of deflation.
I have to agree with this as a Brazilian. More over you can see the differences between countries very easily, it becomes even more apparent when you look to non-western non-eurocentric countries. Each country in Asia has its own way of meeting new people.

BUT there always exceptions (a lot of exceptions actually), and you shouldn't change your country based only on that. It is easy to find exceptions, shy people on Brazil, extroverts on Portugal, people who want something serious, or just date you a few times. The world is very diverse and there is a LOT of people that you can talk too. I can't say that these cultural differences make that big of a difference to be honest
The only problem I've had with my M1 is that my nightmares about losing it are dreadful, but waking up and realizing it was only a dream and it's still there is a huge relief.
Marrying another introvert is great until it leads to offspring. Then the kid sucks and sucks your mental energy for dealing with people to the point you barely even want to interact with the spouse or anyone else.
This is SF, so everyone knows this happens every day hahaha.
Obviously high SES doesn't measure the same thing as IQ, and genetically unrelated children are brought up identical SES environments all the time. This argument doesn't even cohere logically.

(For what it's worth: research suggests that adopting low-SES children into high-SES households is associated with as much as an 18 point increase in IQ test scores.)
I think it's more complicated than that.

I did volunteer work eons ago for tagfam.org and I test as a middle-of-the-road extrovert but spend a lot of time in geeky circles where most people are basically painfully shy and many people interpret my middle-of-the-road extroversion as "God, what a ridiculous attention monger!!!!!"

I've gotten enough negative feedback over it, I spend less time on forums than I used to. I'm not an introvert but even I eventually give up on bothering if it's mostly downside.
Wow ! It's great !

You keep conflating adults with children.

It's not the same. Nobody cares what adults do. They do have agency over their own life and I defend their freedom to fuck themselves up in the most creative way they can think up.

But don't go after children. There is a reason they can't legally consent to many things. It's too easy to manipulate children to make really bad decisions they later regret, so at least lets not make irreversible damage.

Sorry, but no. I'm torn between hoping you'll understand once you have children of your own, or hoping you never, ever go anywhere near any child.
Yeah Base SD is pretty bad. That said, the new Kandinsky 2.1 model is really good. Much better than any of the base SD models and is open source. Try that some time
