skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The problem is that everyone implements those nonlinearities as isolated and largely static things, which they are not, they are dynamic and interact in complex ways. From what I can tell the vast majority of people who implement these models don't seem to really understand the analog world, they model the circuit in spice and run a simulation at a static setting with a single source and call it good, this kills the dynamics which are a fairly important part of the sound. This is also why many amp modelers are often said to do the high gain or clean sounds well but fail in some vague way on everything else, the simplified dynamics used for modeling are close enough to reality for those sounds.

The mini VCF is not the best option for my needs but it is useful in that I have a good many implementations to use as controls as the patch advances and I can show why it all matters well enough, I can provide musical examples which most anyone will be able to hear the differences between. Ultimately I think the software folks are making the wrong sacrifices which is why pedals like the Sans-Amp series and even the somewhat naive Run Off Groove [0] DIY offerings maintain a solid following despite not sounding much like the amps they attempt to mimic, they do respond like the amps, they maintain the dynamics or at least something close enough.

I am not sure we will have much to talk about but I will give you an email when I am back on the computer.

You ever hear that joke "if you're wearing a nazi costume it's not a costume?"

Ironic far right shitposts are just far right shitposts.

It's pretty disappointing how it seems this is being handled just like any other corporate "We're doing a bad thing, but we got bad feedback, so here's a few paragraphs about our process" blog post.

I don't know much about the authors of this post, but I certainly get the vibe that this policy is going to stick around.

If I was a Rust evangelist, I'd be pissed.
What’s trolling about removing the government’s ability to censor political opponents, reverting the heavy handed censorship that Dorsey regretted but could no longer prevent and open sourcing the algorithm? I think if anyone but Elon did this, we’d all be praising it. It’s amazing what a steady stream of clickbait can do to otherwise rational brains
It is also a lesson for the cost-cutting that is popular right now. Sure, trim fat and waste - but R&D and and test projects in new areas are important for future potential markets. Keep some of that alive even it currently isn't profitable so that you have paths to future markets.
> I figured that if Mark Zuckerberg decided it's worth pivoting his entire company towards that goal, he surely must have some data to back that up.

You know, I never really though these founders were visionary geniuses. For the most part they are well connected/already well off, and did the right thing at the right time. I think the last couple of years have made that even more clear.

Facebook really started taking off about the time that a second golden age of tech was starting, fueled largely by near-zero interest rates and a focus on massive IPO exits without any proof of profitability. Nobody had to make any money for years, if at all. Uber hasn't made any money and neither has Spotify. Tesla does make cars, but its real product is arguably its absurdly valued stock that has allowed it a large runway fueled for the most part by the delusions of grandeur of its CEO. During this time larger companies simply acquired everything in sight, hoping that it would pay off. I mean, of all these acquisitions by Meta, which have been worth it? They're not all Instagrams.

https://www.techwyse.com/blog/general-category/facebook-acqu...

Facebook made it, but not because Zuckerberg made the best PHP site ever. Right place, right time, maybe among the first to realize that any engagement is good engagement, and I doubt it was Zuckerberg himself who had that realization.

On top of that, Google, Meta, and advertising companies in general have grown mostly on the theory that the mass amounts of data that they collect and use to sell hyper-focused ads is worth something. Recently it's been revealed that this isn't true, and you get just as good or better results by simply advertising the last thing somebody looked at, or whatever they are currently standing next to IRL. Knowing that you looked at hemorrhoid cream 3 years ago doesn't help you sell anything today. So it's arguably based on lies as well.

Now with interest rates up, I think we'll see how that plays out as advertisers finally start pulling back due to economic conditions. Uber turned off 2/3 of its ad spend in 2017 after it found that most of "conversions" were in fact fraud. Curious to see what other companies experience on this front. We'll find out how many of these founders are true geniuses or were just burning cash. I mean shit, give me a billion dollars and I'll give you something that looks like the next big thing no matter what...

the GPT-J-6B one is Dolly 1.0, previously released

Dolly 2.0 is Pythia-12B fine-tuned on this new dataset

on their hugging face page [1] they admit the performance may not be much or any better than the original model (I am guessing this may be a weakness of Pythia-12B, which was intended for model-training research rather than best results)

the main point of Dolly 2.0 is the new dataset is unencumbered legally [2] whereas Alpaca et al were trained on ChatGPT transcripts, so commercialising those models would contradict OpenAI licensing terms

You are technically right. Though if we assume that the size of the dictionary is at least o(n), then the size of such DFA will be exponential in n, and indexing it will be o(n), resulting in a o(n^2) solution again, I think.

I think to enter into a relationship knowing there will be an expiration date speaks more to your character. Almost sounds like "I'm with them unless something better comes along or their shortcomings become more than I want to deal with".

If you genuinely love someone, you will stand by them, work on any problems, and remember that you chose to build a future together. Given that the divorce rate in my community is less than 1% we're probably doing something right.
Exactly. Let's say a major company have a few applications which require MongoDB, and the rest of their applications are running on Postgres.

With FerretDB, they can migrate the app off MongoDB as you said, and keep Postgres only. Therefore they don't need to maintain internal knowledge on how to run MongoDB, or pay for MongoDB to run it for them (in which case they are not in control of their data, because it is all under MongoDB's account...).

This is one real world user example.
> Isn't that peak oxytocin induced happiness?

Probably! Applying some reductio ad absurdum, isn‘t everything just bioelectric chemistry in our brain?

I just wanted to point out that I consider that feeling as even more pleasant than drugs that technically set the level of "pleasant feeling" beyond what‘s naturally possible.

Maybe I tried the wrong drugs, but they never made me cry from happiness, when having my first partner fall asleep with his head on my lap did.
Your arguments are cogent, but it's still 'state-affiliated media' - I mean, that also applies to the whole 'media embedding program' that got started in Desert Storm (Gulf War I, or perhaps II if we count the Iraq-Iran war in the 1980s).

Independent media is not necessarily adversarial to government, but it can't be dependent on government or it turns into nothing but the propaganda arm of the government. E.g. reporting on military failures is necessary, even if this upsets the brass because it damages morale.
AFAIK the previous models couldn't convincingly continue a conversation chain, they were limited to mostly individual posts/comments since they were rather obvious when trying an actual conversation. It's fully interactive now.

And it's not just mega-coorperations/nation states, soon everyone will have access to something vastly better then GPT2.

---

I've been in the GPT-3 beta, and we have had community trained GPT-2 models for a while as well. Those seriously don't compare to GPT3.5/4.

Those severely underperform compared to even LLaMa+finetuning now, and GPT3.5 is a mile ahead of that, and GPT-4 leaves everything in the dust. Yes we've had it, and yes they're often able to pass the "casual glance turing test", but they suuuuuck in comparison to GPT-3.5.

What I'm trying to say is that propaganda/astroturfing is no longer limited to simply being a post/comment. It can now be an entire chain.

----

For example, "I was attacked by [person]'s dog"

You ask "Oh man did you get hurt?",

They respond " Luckily, I didn't get seriously injured, but it was a pretty scary experience. The dog managed to bite me on my left arm, but I was wearing a thick jacket which protected me from any deep punctures. I still got some bruises and scratches, but nothing too severe. I'm just really grateful it didn't escalate further.

I talked to the owner, and they apologized profusely, assuring me that they would be more careful in the future. It turns out that the dog has had some behavioral issues in the past, but they've been working with a trainer to help correct them. "

GPT 2 could never, ever even compare to that. This response IMO would pass as human to 99% of people who weren't specifically looking for it.

They need to fix their reviews. It's only going to get worse with AI.

They have a serious junk review problem. I do a search, and the first item that shows up has a bunch of 5-star reviews... but what I really need to know is, "How was this item reviewed by people like me?"

Maybe reviews by people in my Language + Zip Code / City + Age Group seems like it would be a good place to start. "This product got a 4-star general review, and a 1.5 star review from other suburban men in Texas." That'd be HUGE for me.

There should also be real penalties for sellers faking reviews... delete the review, obviously, but also maybe flag the seller in some way that indicates they have a high probability of generating fake comments.

It's rough, Amazon has so many "junk" products on their site. In my dream world, Amazon would adopt some 90s-era Costco policy where they only sell items they can stand behind. Their own certification and testing that far exceeds any other standards.

But that's not how capitalism works. =P It's just how I wish capitalism worked.
I agree that there are still differences between humans and AI, and vision is one of them. Humans also remember across conversations, ChatGPT doesn't. We have longer context windows. We think in our downtime, unprompted. We take input from 5 senses, today's chatGPT only takes input from text.

But--and this is a big but--the set of things that people can do better than computers has shrunk significantly over the past five months. Today, thanks to GPT4, AI can get a B in a Quantum Computing class, generate engaging stories, know that the color yellow is closer to orange than blue (despite never having seen color!), answer emotionally laden questions with the sort of facility that IMO is better than most humans, write code, rhyme, and much more. All of this stuff was unthinkable before. I personally thought it would be centuries until this stuff was possible. I was very wrong.

Several developments in Deep Learning, like the Transformers paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762), set off this growth, as did big data and increased computing power. The insight of particular humans, like Ilya Sutskever, played a role as well. But taken together, I actually don't understand how one can argue that we aren't at the beginning of a massive exponential.

Of course there are things humans can still do better than AI, but the number of things is shrinking rapidly, while the number of things computers can do better than humans is growing rapidly.

I argue that we are indeed at the beginning of an exponential, and we'll see both new classes of products and faster development time.
Here's another scenario I envision now:

You and your friends jump in the metaverse every Tuesday night to play some virtual game, e.g., go hunting or rob a bank. Timmothy is out on vacation this week so won't be joining -- but now you can spawn up virtual Timothy, which is trained on a bunch of Timothy's data (see the other HN post about the guy who trained his bot on his friends group chats). Now Timothy is with his friends in this virtual world and he behaves mostly how Timothy does.
I regret that I have only one upvote for this comment. Unless you are either highly abusive or dating someone with significant mental/emotional impairment then assigning the fault to yourself in advance of any actual problems is beyond unhealthy

Good post, though with the graphic, I do think this is one of those cases when the y-intercept should start at zero. The graphic does make a 7% difference look like a 3x difference. Same thing for the previous interviewing.io post on whether to list certs on LinkedIn.
> if civil discourse is available

If we're talking about actual Nazis and not "everyone I disagree with is literally worse than Hitler" insult inflation, then it necessarily follows that civil discourse is not available.

Why? Because they mass-murdered people like me.

No. This definition of heritability is an obvious wokeism.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/heritable#:~:text=%22capable....

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/heritabi...

The Cambridge definition linked just above is particularly on point:

"The ability of a disease or characteristic to be passed from a parent or grandparent to a child through the genes"

--

Yes, I know it's convenient to redefine terms like gender and heritability to fit what's politically popular. I get it. But, don't gaslight me by telling me I'm redefining the words. As you can see, I could have used this word in 1300s France and been understood as speaking about traits derived from one's parents through being their offspring.

As for my argument about a cat playing chess, I'm just trying to give you the simplest possible example so you can see that your doctrinaire position on this subject is insane.
I don't think so.

You take the first n bytes of your input string. You hash them. You look them up in the dictionary. The lookup is O(1) but hashing your input is O(n).

But there's a simple way around this.

We have incremental hash functions. When you add a byte to the string and you use an incremental hash, you do a fixed amount of extra work to update the hash. Like that you only need to O(1) extra work to compute the new hash.

One trivial incremental hash is to break your input into fixed size chunks, hash each chunk, and xor the chunks together.
I came to the field from a slightly different direction; I never studied DP in classes (I was a bio major) but used them extensively in my undergraduate research and later when implementing a few toy bioinformatics algorithms (it's a real joy when it works for the first time!). Even though I've written them a number of times, I really doubt I'd ever be able to spot a DP problem and solve it with that, without some hinting. I do not think it provides useful signal unless you're looking for people who will be writing algorithms.

I'm only pointing out the inconsistency in your description of the encounter. Your whole stance here seems to be "I'm just describing facts" when asked to stop, so I would think it's important to you to know when you're apparently not doing so.

And even if it is the facts or true, is it important to share your experience? Is it important to counter someone's good experience with your own bad experience?

FWIW, I know nothing of Zig or anyone in this thread: hiding behind "it's just the facts" to be unkind I find is unhelpful. ("But I'm not being unkind! We're just having a rational discussion!" I hear you say. I disagree. It's never just that.)

Edited to add: I'm leaving this here as-is, but I regret posting it. I should have recognized that this would be fruitless and adds nothing to the thread, and should have never engaged.
I'm not sure TCP fingerprints are very reliable because a lot of ISPs and Mobile Carriers are doing proxying at the application level for HTTP/HTTPS ports so even if you are on an iPhone you might end up having a linux TCP fingerprint.

Some basic propositions to consider as I am forming my opinion on this:

1. A static (relative) set of things is in one state until something acts upon the set.

2. A thing can have memory, or characteristics.

3. A single thing can appear differently to an observer depending upon the perspective of the observer.

4. Emergence is the appearance of a collection of things that is dependent upon the action and or interaction of the set of things and their characteristics, any externals (the environment) AND the perspective of the observer.

Am I missing anything in my framing of the question?
Correct.

Many people have an expectation that boyfriend/girlfriend status is essentially a trial period for marriage. If it's not "going anywhere" it's a waste of time.

As people age, if they have this perspective, they tend to become significantly less patient.
i haven't made this experience as strongly as i was able to find time for my own things in my work (being selfemployed at times and having a partner that had a well paid job too which lessened the pressure on me to focus on income helped) but what i realized is important is support from my partner for my interests and goals (and of course i should equally support my partners goals)

without that support, compromises meant that i would have to give up my goals in favor of a happy relationship. and maybe this is what you are experiencing. find a partner that actually supports your goals and interests (that doesn't mean that they need to have the same goals and interests, but only that they should not be conflicting, as well as they should have goals you are willing to support)
> t's likely that there are other ways other than cookies and fingerprinting that companies can track you.

Any idea how they would do that?
That particular deck is stacked against the favor of doctors and patients.

After all, a care facility can probably be reasonably confident that if a patient needs help, doctors will feel compelled to care for them.

Put another way, would you want to walk into a hospital/ER/your doctors office for something acute and get an apology that care is unavailable because the doctors are on strike?
Really cool. Super interested on pricing. In my perfect world, i'd be able to use this for something cheap and give it API keys for my ChatGPT Plus subscription.

Ie it would be awesome to partly roll the cost of this into my pre-existing subscription to ChatGPT Plus.

I don't think that's possible with ChatGPT currently, but .. just saying.
Yes, I believe so. There is an endless push to get your data. Prompts to subscribe.

For example, I have a BlackVue camera. App used to work great.

Now I get a prompt to subscribe to their paid system. Why? I Paid for a webcam, and knew that the online service was paid, but then it was my choice.

Now they are coercing me.
Monera supposedly is untraceable somehow. And you can do things with passing private keys and mixers even on bitcoin.
That's the same as the trie solution.
And yet you're making the insane argument against the treatment (puberty blockers) that is fully reversible and reduces the need for making irreversible decisions at such a young age. And in doing so you're arguing for imposing drastic, life altering and harmful effects on those for whom their dysphoria does not resolve. It's a deeply nasty level of authoritarian overreach to be prepared to force such harm on people when we have a treatment that can mitigate it for a significant proportion of the people in question.

You keep trying to move the goalposts, because it's makes for more shock value to talk about operations. But the reality is that operations are a last resort, and one often brought forward due to immense mental harm for patients for whom blockers have not been an option. They are examples of the entirely predictable outcome of the kind of brutally inhumane policies you've been arguing for by opposing blockers.

Think banning surgeries will work? Trans people have been dying from illegal and unregulated surgeries for decades because it's for many been preferable to staying how they are.

Denying desperate people treatment is evil.
> Masculinity can be quite isolating/toxic but it's emphasis on your intra-tionship, your living with yourself, on relying on yourself, has arisen in my mind in the past couple years as a kind of interesting aspect that feels undersocialized, out shadowed by other discussions of the male gender norms.

I think somewhere along the line "self-reliance" became conflated with "anti-social". I've had to put in concerted effort to build my social network of men I can lean on for social activities and accountability. Being by oneself can make almost any task seem insurmountable. Couple that with being self-reliant and you have a recipe for disaster. It is no wonder so many men are committing suicide.
