Here's ChatGPT confidently spewing a ton of very very wrong stuff about the Mesoamerican calendar:

> Is the 1-earthquake inscription on monument 3 at San Jose Magote is the oldest known instance of a Mesoamerican calendar date?

> Yes, the 1-earthquake inscription on Monument 3 at San Jose Magote is considered the oldest known instance of a Mesoamerican calendar date. This monument was discovered in Oaxaca, Mexico, and dates back to the Preclassic period of Mesoamerican civilization, around 1150 BCE. The inscription records a date in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which was a complex system of timekeeping used by various cultures in Mesoamerica. The date is given as 7.16.3.2.13, which corresponds to August 11th, 129 BCE in the Gregorian calendar.

This is wrong. It's actually more like 647 BCE.

> What does 1-earthquake mean?

> "1-earthquake" is a term used in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which was a system of timekeeping used by various cultures in Mesoamerica. The Long Count calendar is based on cycles of time that are counted in base 20, and each cycle has a specific name and duration. The term "1-earthquake" refers to the beginning of a new cycle in the Long Count calendar, specifically the start of the 13th baktun, which is equivalent to 144,000 days or approximately 394 years. The Long Count calendar was used by Mesoamerican societies to track historical events, astronomical observations, and religious ceremonies, and it was an important part of their cultural and social identity.

This is completely wrong. 1-Earhquake is a combination of two shorter cycles. It has nothing to do with beginning of a baktun.

> What is the previous 1-earthquake to 7.16.3.2.13?

> The previous occurrence of 1-earthquake in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar before the date 7.16.3.2.13 (August 11th, 129 BCE) would have been 12.19.19.17.19. This corresponds to August 13th, 3114 BCE in the Gregorian calendar, which is the date that marks the beginning of the current cycle of the Long Count calendar, known as the 13th baktun. It's worth noting that the Long Count calendar was designed to be a continuous and cyclical system, so there is technically no "start" or "end" to the calendar. Instead, each cycle represents a new period of time, and the 1-earthquake date represents the beginning of a new cycle within that larger system.

This doesn't even make sense given chatGPT's own internal reasoning. A baktun is 144,000 days or around 394 years. It's clearly just regurgitating training data and getting it all jumbled up.
I never mentioned any specific laws or senators, you did.

But I have seen videos of such drag shows with kids, and examples of the debated books.

So stop bullshitting me. It is absolutely about sexualization and pornographic content. That other examples may exist is besides the point. Specific laws may be badly written, but the intent is certainly not to make Ms Doubtfire illegal.

And even Anne Frank may not be appropriate for children of all ages. Afaik it does contain passages about sex.

Like it or not, you do make judgments on the accuracy of trustworthiness of different sources of information. A reasonably reliable source of information can be subject to scrutiny and doubt, can have clear biases, can sometimes even be diametrically opposed to your own moral and ethical values. But we still make judgements on accuracy of trustworthiness, and act accordingly.

LLM output cannot be higher quality than the input (prompt + training data). The best possible outcome for an LLM is that the output is a correct continuation of the prompt. The output will usually be a less-than-perfect continuation.

With small models, at least, you can watch LLM output degrade in real time as more text is generated, because the ratio of prompt to output in the context gets smaller with each new token. So the LLM is trying to imitate itself, more than it is trying to imitate the prompt. Bigger models can't fix this problem, they can just slow down the rate of degradation.

It's bad enough when the model is stuck trying to imitate its output in the current context, but it'll be much worse if it's actually fed back in as training data. In that scenario, the bad data poisons all future output from the model, not just the current context.
The problem is that, given past Facebook/Meta reputation wrt privacy, who would trust their "AI cloud" if they monetize it like Microsoft is doing right now?

Being born to a rich family is a way better correlator of what you describe as “success”. Why than not construct a class quotient (CQ) and use that instead? Surely if the only thing it needs to do is work as a predictor of “success”, than there are simpler metrics than IQ.

Actually I’m gonna repeat a couple of paragraph from the first post you responded to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35517130

> Your [faeriechangling] anecdotal evidence of high IQ parents (ugh!) having high IQ children is the same anecdotal evidence that sociologists have been describing for decades that high SES parents have high SES children, and is the main reason for why parents with high SAT scores are likely to have children with high SAT scores.

> What IQ researchers discovered was basically the same thing that Marx described in 1867, class, however the eugenics were no communists, and instead of providing the simpler explanation, that society rewards the ruling elite, and wealth inherits, the eugenics went all conspiratorial and blamed other races for their perceived decline in society.

That's the whole point of the recent semiconductor investment boom, though. Reduce dependence on Taiwanese silicon so that we can care less about the geopolitics of the region.

The west essentially is getting tired of playing bodyguard to Taiwan; because as has been evident with the Ukraine invasion, the west is not willing to go to war to protect peace.

I have experienced a major schizophrenia for 5 years starting in 2015 and since that I never attempted dating or having interpersonal relationships. Now it's a part of my personality.

I won't go in detail though. I don't feel any negative emotions or have any thoughts about that as I'm using antidepressants to shut down the libido.

After some biohacking I feel a competitive advantage in social realm and view this as a gift. There's non-compete for women, no social racing for status, and it all boils down to fundamental values. That's super christian catholic way of life, and I'm fine with it now.

What I was expecting initially is that someone will check on me, but that never happened.

I don't know where you live, but if it's possible to get to a Mayo Clinic, go. Trying to get local health care when you have an unusual condition is nearly impossible, especially if you can't even get diagnosed. Mayo has hundreds of doctors in 3 buildings (Rochester, MN). I saw 15 doctors in 5 days, which would have been utterly impossible locally, in the Louisville, KY area. Here, it might take 4-6 weeks to be referred to and get an appointment with a specialist. At Mayo, they had me in a CT scan machine 45 minutes after my intake appointment with an internist, and the scan was not prescheduled!
I guess I’ve always been confused by this question. If the dictionary isn’t infinitely large, and you have plenty of space, why can’t you put the dictionary in a Set and look up words in O(1), reducing the overall complexity to O(n)? Obviously hashing has its limitations, but i thought we could hand wave over that part. If we’re limited by space can we assume that the dictionary is ordered and make the lookup in log(n) via a simple binary search? Or are we obsessing over the string equality operation? I feel like I’m missing something.
Probably not? Dunno. Depends on the injections. If you're curious, YouTuber Vigorous Steve talks about this stuff in a great detail.
Incidentally I was about to say that even speculation based on present utility can get a little bit out there. Modern AI is already quite good at generating code snippets, and it already increases developer productivity, but just how much is that going to really change things? Just how much more productive is an AI-augmented software developer? Are LLMs really the thing that was missing from no-code website / app builders?

I wouldn't say it's obvious that this stuff hasn't been scaled to the limit. I mean, sure, you could make bigger LLMs, but I don't think it's a given that LLM performance will increase in performance in a predictable fashion. If anything I think that performance probably resembles an S curve where performance matches improvements in scale before sharply plateauing. When's the plateau?

GPT-4 is a clear improvement over GPT-3, but it's also 6x larger, and so far I haven't quite seen any real evidence to suggest that it's 6x better, other than the fact that it scored better on tests.
The big value is certainly in the less constrained stuff. Today I wanted to experiment with a hobby project, so I wrote a page of what I want to achieve. I then presented it to GPT4 as a "spec" and told it to act as a software architect and give me suggestions and ask for clarification. It gave me mostly good suggestions, asked a few good questions, and gave some feedback I disagreed with. I updated the spec to incorporate the good bits, clarified and firmed up the wording around the choices where it had made suggestions I disagreed with, and asked it to give another round of feedback. I turned around the draft 3 times, and it added value every time.

I could have done that with a person, but then I'd need someone who was available then and there that I wasn't taking away from other stuff.

To tie that to your points: This process was exactly an exercise in nailing down details that were missing because the short prose version was leaving huge gaps.

I intend to need a back and forth of filling in detail each step toward an implementation for that reason.

And I think this kind of tooling need to be built with that in mind: Write roughly what you need unless you already know how you want to express it in code. Ask for clarifications or a proposed plan. Iterate. Maybe with tooling giving examples of where it would head if prompted to fill in more detail.

I sure as hell won't trust it to just blindly do a task for me from a brief problem statement at this point.

Just as I wouldn't for most non-trivial tasks with most humans...

I think we probably come to some of the same conclusions, but I'm approaching this problem slightly differently.

To use your car example: say I'm driving in front of a park where there are lots of parked cars lining the street. Then a ball rolls out into the street from between two parked cars. I may have never personally seen a child run into the street from between two parked cars before, but I can infer (i.e., imagine) that from the context of the scenario. So I slow waaaay down in case that event happens. I don't need to see all edge case to still cover an awful lot of them.

I'm not sure AI is to that point (yet). There are some arguments for approaches like reinforcement learning that say they perform quite well on unseen edge cases from past learning. But when the stakes are high, I'm not sure that is good enough.

(And regarding the 'it only has to be slightly better than the average human' counterpoint): I disagree. I think one of the reasons that we are comfortable with sharing the road with other ape-driven vehicles is that we have a theory of mind and can intuit what someone else is thinking and are able to 'imagine' their course of action. We've evolved to have this sense. We do not, however, have the ability to intuit what a computer will do because it 'evolved' under very different circumstances. So our intuitions about whether or not to trust it may be out of whack with whether or not it performs better. And, like it or not, the policy that governs if AI-controlled cars is legal will be highly dependent on public trust.
Enjoying the M2 16" as well. I thought I'd hate the notch, but I don't really notice it most of the time because that's where the top toolbar thing is.

The keyboard feels great. The past 2 (work) laptops I had to turn in because the battery swelled and messed up the keys. They got rid of the dumb LED bar, and magsafe is back. I'm more of a fan of the (previous) fat left/right arrow keys though.

> I think humans want to explore it with intelligent beings, not necessarily “humans”.

I think the majority humans want to be with humans, not just intelligent beings. Some don't, of course, and there's probably a decent business catering to them.
That's an interesting point, I wasn't aware of that. I asked GPT to explain how this affects housing policy compared to the US and it does sound much better. Simpler processes based on clear sets of rules rather than complex caselaw, public participation is more limited and not imposed at every stage, and "there is typically a single permitting authority responsible for issuing permits and overseeing compliance, which can reduce bureaucratic obstacles and simplify the process for developers".

Some of these can be addressed without shifting this stuff to administrative law, but it's a good baseline.
Yes, the string equality itself is o(n).
It's true based on its demonstrable lack of ability to solve tasks that even ChatGPT (3.5) can handle. Sure, you can cherry-pick some test suite to come up with a number that says otherwise - just like there are people claiming that LLaMA can match ChatGPT - but this is more of a "squinting at it right" kind of thing.

I don't know of anyone using Bard over ChatGPT in any application where quality of the output matters.

The core principle that Facebook was built on is nearly as strong as ever , doubly so with the demographics that actually have money to burn. Facebook's core principle was to make you feel less lonely so you'd give them outrageously specific data about yourself—for free—which they would then sell to someone else who would use that information to sell you things that prey on your specific insecurities.

You can do this on TikTok with a new generation today, and Facebook is banking on being able to do this in VR tomorrow.

Tell us what makes you happy and sad. Tell us everything about you. Tell us for free and we will give you an endless stream of content/notifications/things to do that make you feel less lonely. We will then work with companies that inject ads that directly prey on your insecurities. You need these things or you can't be happy. All your friends have these things. We will reinforce this message several times per hour.

The only way for Facebook to "double down" on its core principle within its current platform is to do something like buy QVC and start to really focus on bleeding seniors. There's a lot of money to be made on Social Security Wednesdays.
You definitely could support a lifetime license if some of the money is invested and used to pay for the upkeep of each license. It is about pricing the model correctly.
> W00t deep negatives for affirming that trans people exist and for stating the obvious that Musk hates them.

People aren't downvoting your post for trans affirmation or that Elon doesn't like trans people. They're downvoting it because you are inflating the value of the trans population on Twitter as integral to Twitter itself. I would not be surprised if there is a higher percentage of trans people using Twitter relative to the general population, but I find it unlikely that they make up a significant enough portion of its users to even move the needle if they all migrated away to Tumblr, Mastodon, or another social network.
My question I’m wondering for you. Who are capitalists and anti-capitalists? And can capitalists be left-wing in your view of the world’s overton window? Do you consider the Global North not right wing?

The modern overton window is moving to the right as I’m sure you’re aware and you’re trying to say it has moved enough that being capitalist now means left wing. What year do you think this change finally happened? It wasn’t this way during the 50s. The Overton window was much more to the left back then.

Free market economies are a right wing ideal, no? Like China isn’t a free market economy.

> literal years in prison for taking a shit where they "shouldn't"

No, and you know that's not what anyone is saying. Shitting in public, or in other people's private areas, shouldn't have zero consequences simply because the ultimate consequences sound harsh out of context.

And yes, because jailing someone who has sunken to pooping on the street is generally an important part of their treatment plan. Not letting people live in squalor is actually kindness, even if the alternative is enforced.

> such harsh measures in secret

Oh my. Are you serious? Harsh measures? Some people try to raise children without rules and they always do more harm than good. Especially trying to avoid such simple rules about reasonable boundaries.
I've actually been debating getting a 14 MBP M1 for about $1500 on open box stores etc (woot), or on sale or what not but cannot justify spending 1.5k on a laptop lol.

I have a desktop and a Thinkpad T430 if I need to go somewhere. Also have a tablet and such. I definitely do need a "better" laptop but my justification is that I'm not outside the house often enough for me to buy the MBP.

Which, realistically, is true. I'm not.

On the other hand, shiny fast device lol.

The 10 year warranty is only for structural stuff (or the “bones”) I believe, not for things like doors/windows/finishes/fixtures/etc. In a cheaply tract built house, that stuff will wear out within 5 years.
I think you went way overboard with the costs - a good AM5 MOBO is around $200, case $150, AIO cooling or good fan $100 and a good PSU would be $200. That's a total of $650. Add to that assembly and sanity checking for let's say $100 (many times it comes free for these upper end setups) and we get $750.

That's a total, with your estimates for the CPU and GPU prices, of $2300 which is around $1000 lower than the Studio while having more power. I agree the power efficiency is worse but also note that the Mac simply doesn't have access to the same compute power. Also the CPU and GPU are redlined by default and going down to almost 50% TDP only causes a 5% drop in performance so it is not that bad.

Of course there are advantages that you mentioned (form factor, better support) but, at least for me, that is not worth a $1k+ premium. Also using MacOS for me at least is a pain compared to Linux.
