Looking at the basic ChatGPT (not GPT-4) while it can do reasonable translations for smaller languages and answer questions in them, the quality of the answers suffers significantly in my experience, if I ask the same factual question in two languages, I often see that the English one gets a correct answer while the small language gets a coherent hallucination. For big languages (French, Japanese, Spanish, etc) that's not an issue, but for the smaller ones it clearly is.

I think the majority of programmers don't have that problem, especially with semi-regular discussion/contact.

In the past, when I really wanted to try something and the boss didn't agree with spending work time on it, I spent my weekend time on it (back before I had a kid- Seems like a luxury, now!). Most of the time, I came up with something I could demonstrate on the following Monday which got accepted. Sometimes, it didn't, or my hunch/effort was unsuccessful (but I wasn't unhappy because at least I tried).
A side effect of having so many calls for drug users in distress is that those services aren’t available to immediately respond to other types of medical emergencies that are life threatening, such as a heart attack for example.
It's completely false. Bus wages and pensions are the majority of expenses and BY FAR the largest line item.

The average bus only drives less than miles in cities like NYC, Chicago, and LA per day.

They get >6 MPGe. Fuel is about $65 per day or less. The cost of the vehicle financed probably averages less than that - and should definitely be less than $85 per day. Maintenance and insurance are peanuts. Parking should be quite expensive, but they usually have pieces of land worth tons of money they already own and aren't going to sell. Practically, it's close to $0.

A driver for 12 hours per day costs >$360 without factoring in pensions. With a pension it's >$450.

The reality of the situation is bus fare is currently less than $2. If you get rid of the driver, it's gonna cost a lot less than $2. If you can make trollies ubiquitous, a huge potion of the population isn't going to take taxis anymore (or drive themselves).
Last time this discussion was here I posted link from literally that same day at 5AM here in Poland. No sun yet, wind below 5% capacity.
For ChatGPT you can block it as per https://platform.openai.com/docs/plugins/bot

For others, take same measures as unwanted traffic or scrapping.
My father in law bought a used Jetta that kept having the battery die. Kept going to mechanic and couldn’t find anything wrong, eventually they discovered a hidden gps device that an old dealer must have installed and forgot to remove.
I think part of the problem with p-values and NHST is that it encourages (or doesn't discourage) underpowered studies. That's because p-hacking benefits from the noise of underpowered studies. If you can test a large number of models and only report the significant one then an underpowered study with high type I error rate gives you a greater chance of a significant result.

So I think you are correct that properly powering studies is the crucial thing, but the incentives are against fixing this as long as lone p-values are publishable.

I've recently been trying to "eat better" in an effort to improve/maintain my overall health. I'm not overweight, just trying to be as healthy as I possibly can. Maybe prevent future disease if I can. I don't want to end up with diabetes. But it is surprisingly difficult to know what eating healthy actually looks like. One minute I'll be convinced that I should cut out carbs, then sooner or later something else comes along claiming that I should do the opposite.

The only thing that I feel comfortable doing with a surety is to cut out sugar as much as possible. Also eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Wondering if other feel that it's way too difficult and confusing to get serious about eating healthy.
Besides plumbing, one thing that came up on a similar discussion in the subreddit for my local area was that there the codes are different between commercial & residential in terms of how far away a room can be from an exterior wall. And it's not uncommon for commercial buildings to have a lot of space that would be unusable in a residential setting because of this.
1/0 is the limit of x/y as x approaches 1 and y approaches 0. It works fine if you choose to put a a point there called \infinity, with an appropriate notion of nearness.

Self driving cars will completely collapse when pedestrians are factored in. You'll just walk out on the street and expect all the cars to stop. You don't do it now because someone inattentive could kill you. But when the tech works well, all car traffic will just be locked in stand still.

Hopefully we can use this moment to purge inner city areas of cars.
> So its more like 60% of all global lithium refinement.

This is poor reasoning.

> Lithium refinement capacity in China is also growing.

Falling in a relative sense, particularly now that the movement globally is against offshoring the filthy end of rare earth semi conductor, solar, battery, etc production to China.

China's dominance of REO production came as a result of a practice of shipping global concentrates to China .. in a production sense these are relatively low tonnages (dwarfed by iron ore etc shipping) .. and with large plants planned outside of China (eg the one linked above in Malaysia) there is now will be significant competition | options for locations where concentrates can be refined.
Respectfully, some people drink motor oil, that doesn't make it a realistic concern.

I drove 90 minutes each way in/ around Atlanta and that was considered long; I had friends in NYC who were on the train 90 minutes each way and that was considered long.

I can't think of anyone I knew who had 2 hours each way, every day. (Some days, yes, but not as the norm.)

I do know folks who drive/ ride/ fly and then stay locally for some days, then commute back for the weekend or their WFH days. And most are for 2-3 hour driving commutes, not 4.

I agree with them 8 hours a day of travel "isn't a realistic concern".
How about instead of relying on the good old "go do your own research" you provide some of those numbers you undoubtedly looked up which you then found convincing enough to be worth a comment on HN?
I think it’s because the article itself is a bit wrong: ‘voudrais’ in French is more analogous to ‘I would like’ in English than ‘want’. Specifically, the ‘v-‘ indicates that this means ‘to want’, ‘-oud-‘ means that it is in the conditional or future, while ‘-ais’ would indicate its first person conditional. This being said, it makes sense ‘voudrais’ is more tokens than ‘want’, because it encodes more information.
I think a lot of these LLM benchmarks should include a human avg, otherwise I don't really have a frame of reference other than personal experience with the models.

Since I haven’t seen anyone else mention this bit of context elsewhere in the thread: Penrose gets a bit of side-eye in the physics community because of his metaphysical beliefs on consciousness. (Specifically, that quantum effects in tubule proteins of the brain produce special nondeterministic effects that constitute our conscious essence, and true consciousness is impossible without this nondeterministic fount of spiritual essence.)

He’s clearly a smart guy… but also has some hot takes.

That's a very optimistic take. Old appliances cost 10x as much as modern ones (inflation adjusted). If we can chop the price on batteries 10x, that would be awesome.

They might not be the exact same concept but they're definitely related. I'd argue feature flags, authorization, and pricing tiers/entitlements all make up modern 'access control' and 'access management'.

It used to be that authz was just roles and permissions assigned to users, or feature flags & entitlements just booleans, but sophisticated systems allow for all kinds of permutations and rules based on attributes, relationships and environment such that the lines between them are blurred and implementations are likely similar.

As others have said, the differences still come down to a handful of factors like correctness, tolerance for error and performance.

Nope. MDE is shitty. It pushes updates to millions/billions of machines without sufficient testing and monitoring.

There was a MDE bug that caused Chrome to crash whenever dragging tabs.

Another time, MDE also appeared to "remove" all of some users apps when it deleted shortcuts.
For a significant number of software developers, GPT and Github's Copilot have replaced StackOverflow, and even Googling more generally. It is more than an autocomplete, it is the best resource for software development by far, IMO. It's a tutor that's an expert in virtually every topic.

I think this is still true but worth noting more recent data shows inventory climbing[1]. I don't think it's drastic yet - just a reflection of the economy contracting. Price drops are keeping them moving but at the cost of their traditionally excellent profit margin.

LLMs can simulate inner voices pretty well. The way they've handled memory here isn't actually necessary and there are a number of agentic gpt papers out to show that (reflexion, self-refine etc) I can see why they did it though (helps a lot for control/observation)

Based on whose character are we modelling these agents?

If we rely on online conversations for the training we need to realize that this is a journey to the dumbest common denominator.

Instead, I believe we should look at the brightest and universally morally accepted humans in history to train them.

Maybe I would start my list like that:

1. Barack Obama.

2. Jean-Luc Picard (we can rely on work of fiction).

3. Bill Gates.

4. Leonardo Da Vinci.

5. Mr Rogers

This is a terrible analogy, IQ tests measure something real and objective called the g factor : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)

Also, intelligence tests are but a tiny part of psychology, I would hardly call it a "whole field".
I have been thinking for a few weeks now that we need another term for large language models trained on colossal datasets: AGK, artificially generally/globally knowledgeable. It can mimic a likeness of problem solving because the corpus it was trained on is full of problem/solution pairs in the abstract. But task it with any novel problem solving challenge outside of its training that is of sufficient complexity and it will balk, thereby precluding it from being AGI, because humans are by nature problem solvers.

Furthermore, I just don’t feel like the transformer architecture is suited for problem solving. Like I may just be a charlatan but self attention over the space of words does not seem like it’s going to be enough, and praying it falls out in emergent behavior if we can just add more parameters is… unscientific-ish? Now, if you could figure out a way to do self-attention over the space of concepts? Maybe you’ve got something.

I feel like AlphaGo ideas and some variation on MCTS is more likely to produce a solid problem solving architecture.
I see your points, and were I at a company currently (I'm looking), I would prioritize the business-leading things, of course.

> #1 priority is reliability

Yeah, mine is too. (In fact, I think we're approaching a crisis of reliability out there, if we're not there already.) That's why I went with Elixir, and it's paid off so far. The only time the site's been down in years is due to my hosting provider, not me... (So of course I'm looking for another hosting provider...) I have to deal with the occasional 500 errors as well, which, as it turns out, are also largely due to my hosting provider and not my code (but sometimes my code...).

The thing I realized about reliability way too late is this: The utility of a service (or a person) to a person drops off VERY quickly if you dip below 99% reliability (or arguably, 99.9% reliability). Something (or someone) that is 90% reliable is practically useless, because it is bound to fail at the worst possible time. So in all the software I write, I focus on this, and in all my relationships with people (or orgs, or bosses, or my son, or my S.O.), I know that if I commit to them, I must be as reliable as humanly possible because the costs of every slip-up are huge and rise exponentially as they accrue.

An example of a service that is just unreliable enough to be a huge annoyance (which has also caused bad communication failures as well in my experience) is SMS. SMS failures are the worst.
Division is already defined conditionally in regular old elementary school field theory.
I think ChatGPT's user interface is particularly suited for confusion and debate about that. We've called obviously-more-specifically-purpose-built things "AI" or "enhanced with AI" or such for years, somewhat interchangeably with other terms like "deep learning" or "machine learning." There's that old saw about "it's AI until it works and then it's just an computer science" or somesuch.

And many of those things are worse at their task than a person except for speed and scaling. Can a machine be fooled by dazzle for recognizing a face in a way a human can't? Sure, but nobody is willing to pay for a human to go through everyone's photo albums...

But does ChatGPT "use AI" as a tool in the same sense that Spotify's recommendations "use AI" or is it "an AI" in the sense that it's an independent consciousness/agent?

This is the first time so many people have disagreed on that part. And that skews the debate into "a person is better" vs talking about if a person is even practical in most of the situations we'd use this.

I am not exactly sure which surgeries you are talking about but for people curious there are basically 3 surgeries to consider:

1. MMA - Break both jaws and advance them forward to expand the airway. Most invasive, most effective. It is a major surgery and should not be taken lightly.

2. Maxillary expansion - Less invasive depending how it's done. Be skeptical of maxillofacial surgeons who do Le Forte osteotomies as part of the procedure. There are many variations of this surgery. EASE is probably the best

3. Nasal surgery.

"we wanted to share 5 concrete learnings"

Please just say it the normal way: "We wanted to share 5 things we learned..."

And it is not concrete if the learnings are ideas...by definition.
Fascinating progress.

Would you say the following understanding is correct?:

- You can fine-tune a model, regardless of whether it has been quantized (as in the 4-bit versions of models made to fit in consumer grade RAM sizes) or not.

- You can fine-tune any model on any hardware, provided it fits into RAM. That means, that the 30B llama-derived models in their 4-bit quantized version and 19.5GB of VRAM requirement can be fine-tuned on consumer grade GPUs with 24gb of VRAM. (Like the RTX 3090 and 4090)
Probably they've discharged the batteries completely first.
Billing and vendor management for the hospitality industry
Hey I am the founder of Caantin, a platform that streamlines billing and vendor management for the hospitality industry. The restaurant sector alone generates billions of dollars in monthly payments to vendors, but the current process is plagued with inefficiencies. We believe that existing horizontal solutions, like BILL, fall short of addressing these industry-specific pain points.
"too complicated" is a weird way to say "provides a concise and consistent way to model superficially diverse phenomena and show how similar they really are" .

So you also find matrices too complicated?
I don't disagree, but micromanagement is a loaded term with a negative connotation to begin with. The fact is, whether a certain manager or tech lead behavior is considered micromanagement is highly dependent on the IC's experience, skillset and their ability to deliver on higher-level goals. There's a continuum between micromanagement, coaching, and abdication. As a manager you want to stay in the coaching zone, but what that means depends on the project and individuals in play.
This is the kind of attitude that makes many hate tech workers.

What we are seeing is the inevitable backlash against a program that at first glance can do literally everything you ask it to in plain English.

We don't exactly know what it can and can't do, a property which in a computer program at any rate is deeply mysterious and unusual. It initially gives the appearance of being a human which knows everything. This leads a lot of people to angrily declare that its appearance is deceptive, and in searching for words to describe in exactly what way it falls short, they incorporate flawed intuition on what it is capable of. So there's a lot of back and forth right now as we collectively swap memes to try and make sense of such a dramatic development.
My issue is related to a 12v charger as well, except a little different. Sometimes the car won’t start (engine doesn’t even turn) _until_ I unplug the 12v charger. Then it starts right away. No idea why, but would love an explanation from someone knowledgeable!

Chatgpt is a stochastic word correlation machine, nothing more. It does not understand the meaning of the words it uses, and in fact wouldn't even need a dictionary definition to function. Hypothetically, we could give chatgpt an alien language dataset of sufficient size and it would hallucinate answers in that language, which neither it nor anybody else would be able understand.

This isn't AI, not in the slightest. It has no understanding. It doesn't create sentences in an attempt to communicate an idea or concept, as humans do.

It's a robot hallucinating word correlations. It has no idea what it's saying, or why. That's not AI overlord stuff.
