And why should I do this instead of Open AI, is user input is sane then they should retry a few times if their AI is racist or their filter is stupid until they give me what I asked.

imagine this issue when you are just the devloper and not the user, the user complains about this but you try and works for you, but then it fails again for user, in my case the word "monkey" might trigger ChatGPT to either create soem racist shit or it's moderation code to false flag itself.
Perhaps the support period should be sold as a "warranty period". People understand limited warranty periods on cars and dishwashers, so it's a known model.
I come from a country where the majority of people count themselves as non religious. As atheism became a mainstream opinion in the 1980s a "solemn pledge" was introduced into the Constitution as an alternative to swearing on the Bible.

Keeping Christianity around as some hollow ritual handed down by our ancestors seems to me much more insulting to true believers.
Thanks for working on such an awesome project and releasing such useful features!

Yet, what stops us from using supabase is not the set of features, but the state of the current apis. Last night I was evaluating the python sdk and some of the examples were broken, baseline features like RLS are unimplemented (https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-py/issues/58), and progress seems slow (it seems to have been release two years ago and it is still in alpha). Even though supporting many platforms is boring (i.e. no flashy feature announcements) and costly (many FTEs are required for maintenance let alone adding features), are there any plans to bring feature parity more of the sdks to allow more developers to leverage this awesome platform?
This is such a ridiculous notion to be that I find a hard time lending it any credence. The reason average companies pass on FAANG is generally that they can’t afford them. Not “oh, this guy isn’t Jack-of-all-trades enough, we’re really looking for a midrate web contractor that still uses jquery but also knows some SQL”.
How does a language favor copy/pasting? Do you mean it makes code reuse harder?
Great point, there might not be anything for them there despite the insane hype right now. A couple of useful things here and there, sure, but not much to profitably "pivot" their billion users into.
I'm curious, shouldn't the "charge only" mode, that's the default, when connecting usb stuff to Android phones, be enough to protect users? Is it really that difficult to implement a "don't read data pins, only charge" mode on a phone and not have vulnerabilities in it?
I've seen government-funded ads on Twitter. Wouldn't it be ironic if Twitter's revenue share from government sources is larger than NPR's 1-2%?

? At the same time they removed the state-affiliated media, from a ton of global times and CCT affiliated content creators. Guess musk really needs that tesla market in china..
Is NPR state funded? (real question - I actually don't know). What is the definition of state funded? Here in Canada all the media take government subsidies especially the big ones - a lot of that I think is the economics, they simply don't generate enough revenue on their own to sustain themselves so in the process of being subsidized by the federal govt they take on the viewpoint that can be considered statist. You just can't bite the hand that feeds you. The step that comes before independence of thoughts has to be independence of economics.

It doesn't matter what the data format was originally in - what mattered is that Tao didn't have access to that format.

I'm sure the company that did my medical labs also has my data in a structured format somewhere. So what, should I call them up and demand they give me my data in a spreadsheet? I can go down that useless path, or I can paste my data on ChatGPT and get results in 15 seconds.
Not at all ragequitting and not degrading to NPR. Staying on the platform tacitly implies NPR accepts the label ...which would be degrading, from their perspective.
Dawg. If $500k isn’t in the ballpark to have an assistant, then nobody outside of actual CEOs or Fortune 500 executives has an assistant. I know people who make less than $200k and have an assistant. I feel certain there are people who make less than $100k who have an assistant.
How exactly could you check for the correctness without effectively finding out the answer? I mean this discrepancy is fundamentally the problem of P = NP or not.
> lifetime licenses are dishonest (e.g. company cannot work for free, so their funded is based on unlimited growth, which isn't realistic for most).

I don’t really know what you mean by “dishonest”, that seems like a slightly hyperbolic word here. If someone pays for a lifetime license the company isn’t working for free nor necessarily assuming unlimited growth, they just have to understand and correctly price the average value of their contract, and there are many established successful businesses doing exactly already. And it’s common to price the lifetime license below the predicted average total costs, because money in the bank today is more valuable than later (it’s an investment, and the money can be used as such.) If there’s something I really know I’m going to use for years, and I can get a discount by paying up front, I’m totally in favor of doing so when it’ll cost me less and support the company as well.
As an academic researcher with a significant interest and time-investment in Transformer-based models, this restores my faith/hope in the trajectory of DL research. Considering it is difficult for academics to catch up to the industry regarding LLMs, seeing a continuation of the OPENness of these research works by a major industry player is a move in the right direction.
True enough that I don't know about the economics of modern meth production, I'm just repeating what all the neighbors say. What I have seen with my own eyes is the constant stream of vehicle traffic that stops by for very short visits which seems consistent with distribution.

I can also tell you that they are indeed a very gun-loving people, but that doesn't really seem to help with the poverty, crime, and drug use.
"The Making of Modern Ukraine" by Timothy Snyder:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh9mgdi4rNewfxO7LhBoz...

As Prof. Snyder mentions in his introductory lecture, it is kind of wild that there are zero other classes, at any American university, focusing specifically on Ukraine given its importance in the current geopolitical climate.

Prof. Snyder is a great lecturer and the dynamics that shape Ukraine are fascinating and useful for understanding European history more broadly.

Yes, go ahead and send OpenAI all of your HIPAA data.
Intel has missed so many deliverables that I take any of their statements with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Like their 7nm process has been delayed, what? 4 times? Have they even shipped it? Its the same story they had with the 10nm process too. IIRC they were behind like 5-6 years on that one too.

> Specifics aside, I think it's quite hilarious that people in a tech discussion forum think tech is objectively more useful to society than whatever other field that they're totally unfamiliar with.

I absolutely don’t think the humanities and social sciences are useless-I think they have a lot of value.

But nowadays there seem to be two main approaches to them: (1) the modernist traditional social sciences approach, which tries to approximate the rigour of the natural sciences, to as great an extent as the subject matter will permit; (2) the postmodernist critical theory approach-which is inclined to denounce that rigour as harmful/oppressive/etc. Big fan of (1), absolutely see its value; very sceptical of (2).
> Not sure about other income, but it is pretty much just the same ballpark as good doctors, lawyers, accountants at big 4 etc

Either salaries in the US are extremely higher than what I thought, you have a very idiosyncratic definition of "good" or you are significantly overestimating how much people make.

Expensive to initialize doesn’t imply large. And wanting to avoid expensive initialization (runtime) is orthogonal to wanting to avoid a larger memory footprint. So I don’t quite buy your argument.

"advanced fixers" is probably spot on. I know many companies will invent titles and hand them out (sometimes pay raises too) in order to keep people from looking elsewhere. My advice is to get close to the money, if you can tie your work and decisions to bank deposits you get a lot more attention.
> At least they provide open standards and don't require cloud components for supported devices to communicate with your (pocket and otherwise) computers.

Previous standards didn't require this either, and yet every single manufacturer made their devices only work through an internet-connected hub.

It’s interesting because although not unimportant, the outcome I’m looking for when buying a washing machine is how well it cleans clothing. Of course price, speed, and efficiency cone into play. But I think many efficient machines do a poor job at cleaning.

Of course different people have different requirements. If you rarely have soiled clothing maybe it doesn’t matter. If you have kids and jobs/hobbies that soil clothing you may also have different expectations.

Also where you are in the world. In the USA energy is generally cheap and on many places water is plentiful. If I were in Germany where energy policy has been poorly managed I’d probably have to consider efficiency more.
Yes, one is a command line command, the other is a part of a build description file, so false equivalents.
> Design is how it works, not how it looks.

I think we're getting confused by fuzzy and overlapping definitions of different scope.

Absolutely, design is also how it works. However, how it works is also very much engineering. In fact, I'd argue that the overlap is even stronger there.

> Many commenters seem to be holding to this weird idea that if you don't believe God will smite you, you will not be able to behave responsibly

If anyone actually believed that a god would smite them, or in hell or any of that stuff, they would behave very differently. It's stupidly easy to find "Christians" who completely disregard any teachings of Jesus. It's stupidly easy to find Muslims who drink alcohol, including (or perhaps mainly) those from Muslim countries. It's stupidly easy to find Jews who flagrantly break the rules the second someone discovers the smallest loophole.

I see only two possibilities: either they live every day in conflict knowing what they are doing is wrong but they don't have the will to make the necessary changes, or they simply don't believe. I am sure there are many in the former category (I was a carnivore for many years but knew I needed to stop so I know it's possible), but I believe most are in the latter.
That would more likely be a tight bound, not an upper bound.
> Ironically, Tao's post convinces me that AI, though amazing, isn't really the solution. Better UX and data quality is. Why was the data so disjoint to begin with? Why is Latex so hard to work with?

I’m fairly convinced that for many problems (including this), AI is not the best solution but will become the preferred solution. “Best” doesnt get in the way of “good enough” when convenience is at stake (and making a good UX is often very very inconvenient)

I'm one among many (a majority?) of people who don't find anything about the NASA director sweating an oath particularly "solemn." You might find that your "shared solemnity" isn't so shared if you asked around.

Besides: solemnity isn't particularly bound to an object; the ritual seems more important. It wouldn't detract from your experience to not realize that I had preserved the bible's cover but replaced the pages with a hot-rodding magazine.

Because the bulk of NPRs funding comes from the dues of member stations most of which are non-profits and receive funding from a myriad of sources.

Hard to say what percent of their funding comes from some governmental source but it’s all indirect and arms length.

A lot of folks confuse NPR With PBS which is publicly funded and many of NPR’s member stations are PBS affiliated.
They were messing with Twitter by downloading massive amounts of data from them. Why wouldn't Elon do what he did?

We also used to have 4 cores in 2009 but that was very unstable.

BTW, for modern multitasking computers, the main jump in performance comes from going from a single processor to dual processor. Than Amdahl's law neglects the difference.

> What you can notice is not real information when speed, cores and energy use can be quantified.

Single-core performance is totally the same, the number of cores does not change anything visible and energy use seems like the only outcome of 10 years spent from 2012.
It is a sad state of affairs that being "state-affiliated" is a negative thing.

They're ubiquitous at conferences and in many trains, planes, airports, hotels, etc. Maybe you mean something different by public but USB charging stations that you don't control are very common especially in the context of places travelers are in. They're probably pretty common in schools, libraries, conference rooms, etc. as well.
Most people have happiness as a goal. Doing what you enjoy accomplishes that goal. Doing things that accomplish your goals is, by definition, not useless.

I don't think anyone genuinely holds the belief that economic productivity should be even the primary, nonetheless exclusive, goal for a person's life.
Initially, I didn't see much value in the metaverse due to the high barrier to entry for end users and the limited network effect. However, I am bullish now. With the advancement of technologies like GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion, there is potential for more interesting NPCs in the metaverse. Additionally, Virtual Reality (VR) could serve as a superior user interface for these technologies compared to text-based interfaces like chatGPT. This could enable the metaverse to scale without solely relying on the network effect, as engaging NPCs and VR experiences can provide value to users even in the early stages of development, and continue to evolve and expand as technology progresses.
I think after COVID and all the revelations since then it is pretty clear that funding aside, every big media outlet bends over to their own government when they are being asked to push a certain narrative to the population in order to make us belief or behave in certain ways.

COVID made this extremely blatantly obvious but it was already apparent before COVID. For instance, when the US and its allies wanted to invade Iraq all big media corporations were peddling misinformation and propaganda to get people swayed in favour of an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation over false claims of weapons of mass destruction.

I feel like it's some kind of Stockholm syndrome, they don't want to realize the shear absolute lack of logic and meaning in their day to day life so they rationalize that fulfilling random task for most of their day/life somehow _is_ the meaning of life.

To me it's signals a complete lack of imagination of what life could be. Opening any book from the 50s/60s/70s about the "future of work" that automation was going to bring would blow their mind. They're too caught up in the rate race to even notice that there is something else
It only "comes apart at the seams" for people that believe there is some ambient authority, which then becomes less powerful or disinterested due to not being involved with the oath.

The secular view is that the person swearing is pointing to a symbol and promising to uphold the values it represents, regardless of whether that symbol represents a traditional organized religion or not.

It's not about who wrote that code.
It's about responsibility. If you are the maintainer of shitty code, then at the very least communicate that publicly. Don't come out with how bad your code is after the fact!

After he was responsible for that code for years, he now goes public and matter of factly states that all the code was shit the whole time.

Well why didn't he do anything about it then?
What did he think the job description of being maintainer entailed?

Filippo wasted no time shitting on other crypto projects, like GnuPG, from what then looked like the high ground. And now he leaves Google and by the way the supposed high ground was an optical illusion (and that's the charitable phrasing).

My theory is that you people like this kind of story because it helps you cope with your own mediocrity. If Google and Golang have this kind of laissez-faire approach, why should I have higher standards? We'll just call it a life lesson as if it was handed down from heaven, as if things HAD to be this bad.
