Am I expecting too much from it?

Hard to say.

Am I using it wrong?

Maybe? I think we're all still trying to figure out the best way(s) to use this stuff right now.

Just for the sake of illustration, here's a recounting of my recent experience using ChatGPT for code:

I've only tried it once on a coding project of any substance, but it did work well enough that it definitely saved me a meaningful amount of time. Probably on the order of an hour or two.

The project was concerned with transferring a bunch of my Github repos en-masse from one organization to another, using the REST API. I could have code that up mostly in my sleep, but I decided to try ChatGPT as an experiment. My initial prompt was something like:

"Write me some Java code to transfer a Github repo from one organization to another, using the REST API. Please use Apache HttpClient."

The code I got was pretty close to what I needed, although I think I did have to prompt it to tweak the code once or twice. One was asking it to add code to use a Personal Access Token as an Auth header.

So in the end, it generated most of the code I needed, and it represented a meaningful time savings, just based on the time it would have taken me to type the code in, plus I'd have had to consult the GitHub REST API docs at least once or twice to lookup endpoints, parameters, etc.

Can it do much more than something like that? I have no idea. But for dealing with fairly generic, boiler-plate'ish code like that, I find it useful enough that I'll probably continue to experiment with it.

YMMV, of course.
I have coached multiple formats for years. And no, that’s not how competitive debate works. At least not competitive debate worth participating in. (TBF there are a lot of terrible debate programs/leagues, so this may have been your experience.)

The quality bar in most nationally competitive debate — the type for which students might get college scholarships or do well in national qualifiers-only tournaments — is far higher than in online discussions. Students enter with thousands of pages of evidence and must frame arguments in terms of a few common logical structures that can have a lot of emergent complexity. It’s more like adversarial mathematical proof writing situated in the context of policy making than what people typically call “debate”. Even the delivery of speeches is, I bet, not at all what you would expect. See eg https://www.youtube.com/live/Kc-QrcxrkCw?feature=share

This is sometimes true even in cases where students aren’t allowed to bring outside evidence into the round due to students’ prior experience in evidence based formats.

I tried using this system to vet some common debate mainstays — a politics disadvantage about the debt ceiling, a federalism counter plan, a very condensed 1ac from this years topic, and a very condensed 1nc shell.

On the disad in particular this system double turns itself (google “double turn debate” for various explanations). This is a very novice mistake. The judge doesn’t notice.

On the 1NC response the system ignores topicality, which is an instant loss. The equivalent of a plaintiff ignoring a pre trial motion to dismiss because they are too busy writing up cross examination questions for the defense witnesses. Again, the judge didn’t notice.

The system isn’t working for me anymore but I bet you’d get similar issues with v/vc style LD cases, where the system doesn’t understand simple theory about how the value and criterion interact; particularly subsumption style arguments

Even on more lay types of debates the system and judge fail, as documented in other comments.

I wouldn’t recommend using this system to practice competitive debate.
Honestly yes. While I'm not going to comment on the behavior itself, the difference between individuals a acting as a group and the state is such an important distinction that it's written into our constitution.

Much of the bill of rights is about what the state can't do to you in a way that doesn't impact how private citizens interact. Not saying it's perfect, but I'm far less concerned about an internet mob coming after me than the US government

I think a bigger problem is how much computational resources NERF models need. From the paper,

"Our model, Mip-NeRF 360, and our 'mip-NeRF 360 + iNGP' baseline were all trained on 8 NVIDIA Tesla V100-SXM2-16GB GPUs."

Even with all that, it takes almost an hour to train. A developer would need to do this for every scene, which may make it unfeasible for indies, those who would benefit the most from NERF in gaming.
Not OP but imho as soon as possible; whatever major understanding pieces you are lacking you will have to learn while making the project.

There are also language concepts that will not make much sense when learning without context from a book, but will make much more sense after attempting to write something without using that first.

>Now, AI here is capable of generating a circle with radius 0.15 and hence that circle is "not in the original dataset".

The fact that it can generate a circle with a radius of .15 rather than, say, some smushed transformation of an existing circle demonstrates that it properly decomposed the concept of circle into a radius and equidistance around a central point. This is plainly an example of generating novelty from iterating over variations of its conceptualization of circle. But this is no different than what people do. Nothing we generate is sui generis.

If I'm actually chatting or calling support, it's because things have already gone so wrong that I've been compelled to chat or call support. That's already an escalation, and is something that requires human understanding and intervention.

I don't see that the current state of AI is anywhere near being able to do that.

> When we get there, I'll happily deal with the AI. If it doesn't work, then I expect an escalation path - the same way I do with the human support agent.

I understand. If we ever get there, I suspect that I'll have no choice but to deal with an AI. Hopefully there will be some method by which I can just immediately escalate further and talk to a person.

Part of what I want from support is to know that my problem has been heard and understood by a person. If it's an AI, that is just more separation between me and the company I'm having a problem with. It may not be rational, but I want to at least be able to think that some person at the company actually understands my issue, the importance of it, and cares.

No matter how capable and "intelligent", no AI can give me that.
A good test would be to argue from the perspective of a Bajoran against the Cardassian occupation.

We process around 50M sidekiq jobs a day across a few hundred workers on a heavily autoscaled infrastructure.

Over the past week there were 2 jobs that would have been lost if not for superfetch.

It's not a ton, but it's not zero. And when it comes to data durability the difference between zero and not zero is usually all that matters.

Edit for additional color: One of the most common crashes we'll see is OutOfMemory. We run in a containerized environment and if a rogue job uses too much memory (or a deploy drastically changes our memory footprint) the container will be killed. In that scenario, the job is not placed back into the queue. SuperFetch is able to recover them, albeit with really lose guarantees around "when".

It's not "The Americas".

It's America. It's a continent. It was named after Amerigo Vespucci.

The fact that English speakers, led by the citizens of the United States of America, in practice claim the name America for themselves and want to push the point of North and South (never quite agreeing what north is depending on the political point being made), doesn't mean that there's objective validity to it. Just a egocentric convenience and the superpower influence.
Ironically, I'd say that faking date affirms that social sciences are sciences. If they weren't sciences, there wouldn't be data to fake.

"Hard" sciences are more fun, because they get to work with simple things and form rigid rules about them. But social sciences are arguably more important, because they inform the decisions we make every day about how to live in groups. You can't just say, "Well, it's hard to model people with differential equations, so let's just take guesses about how people are doing."

Dismissing soft sciences doesn't reflect well on the hard sciences. It says "We scientists can't do difficult things, so we're just going to punt on it and pretend it's not worth thinking about."

Fun fact: empathy comes from the Greek word «εμπάθεια» which nowadays means disliking someone. The word change meaning throughout the years, so in English retained the original meaning while in modern Greek the meaning is the exact opposite.

The result is ofc confusion when someone is using the word in Greek, because often times one can’t be sure what is the authors intent :-)
But don't you feel that sometimes Sympathy has alot of negative connotations associated to it when compared to Empathy? (Which in turn puts you in a position of dis-alignment)

I have a Dell Chromebook 11 that I bought off eBay for $30. It was locked to an enterprise management policy, however I was able to unenroll it (without using Sh1mmer, which wouldn't have worked anyway since there was no leaked RMA shim). Developer mode was disabled by policy. However, to get around this, I downloaded the earliest possible Chrome recovery image for the board (kefka) which dated to 2017, from chrome100.dev. I removed the RW protect screw from the board, and then used the out of date recovery image to recover the laptop, after which I was able to force it into developer mode without the management policy kicking in. I subsequently installed MrChromebox's UEFI firmware, which installed coreboot, and then booted from my Linux USB.
That is so sad :/
Property “ownership” is nothing more than government-granted monopoly on land/object rights.

But fair, once you throw out a key concept of capitalism, the whole thing kind of falls apart. Guess all the benefits of capitalism aren’t worth it for you…
My fighter is somewhat wise but not so smart. At least he knows he isn't the smartest, thus he writes everything down in a journal he deems important. He doesn't come up with the most interesting or cunning solutions. But he knows that good preparation, a solid formation and sharp weapons can solve many problems and avoid pitfalls.

The opposite (smart but not wise) would be someone who is book smart or even a smart-ass. Probably coming up with all sorts of crazy and interesting ideas, but doesn't necessarily judge situation too well and might quickly discard simple but effective solutions. They might be quick minded and suddenly do high risk/reward kind of moves that either save the day or fail spectacularly.
Solaris is a great book and I would recommend everyone checking other works by Lem. The guy has many different flavors, most of his work is actually kind of hilarious, Solaris is probably his most "serious" one, still amazing.

Here's my "please read these Lem books" list:

- A Perfect Vacuum: A collection of Prefaces and Reviews of Non-Existent books (including one non-existent book called "A Perfect Vacuum") and of a fictional scientific talk. A lot of fun. One of my favorites: A review of a book written by an author who decides to write fiction without lying to the reader by affirming absolutely nothing existentially, confining itself to what did not occur, during the whole fictional book. The fictional book begins with the phrase "The train did not arrive. He did not come."

- Imaginary Magnitude: This one blew my mind. An exploration of fictional science models and books, including the idea of building an "AI" model out of bacteria, creating AI models to check how good or bad are novels and papers written by other AI due to their inhumane sizes (millions of pages to check... so little time...), as well as a conversation with the only AI that didn't get bored with us humans and decided to explain how things really work... Really clever stuff.

- The Futurological Congress: No spoilers here. One of the trippiest books ever written.

- His Master's Voice: A bit more serious than the previous three, but still more playful than Solaris. I always felt this was Carl Sagan's Contact but for Grownups. The book is told from the point of view of a Topologist (Combinatorics and Topology if I remember correctly). A signal from outer space is received, a multitude of scientists from many different branches are invited to get together at a certain location to try to decipher the message, among them our main character. The ideas and concepts of the limits of knowledge, the "micro-worlds" of science, the exploration of the human mind, and the origins of consciousness are all explored along the way. Mini-Spoilers: No"they're instructions to build a machine" here.

As a side note, if you like Lem, you'll also almost surely like anything by The Strugatsky Brothers. Their entry point is almost always Roadside Picnic (famous for a rather open adaptation as Tarkovsky's movie Stalker), but all of their books are really good.
- An all or nothing approach is reasonable when discussing life-and-death situations. I'd love for you to find a "suitable alternative" that doesn't exploit animals for profit. How is abstinence unreasonable today, for the average person?

- I'm fairly certain you have no background in nutrition, please inform yourself before spewing nonsense.

- Phytoestrogen is proven to have no measurable impact on hotmone levels (because it has nothing to do with estrogen, it just looks like it, it's a plant compound while estrogen is made by animals)

- Your whataboutism afterwards is just handwaving the issue. Be honest and address it - I doubt you honestly believe that factories to slaughter millions of animals everyday are fine and not an issue - or even relatable to the slave labor you speak of.

I agree. C is absolutely terrible to use for anything that's not trivial. It may have a simple spec, but you pay dearly for it in code complexity. Its abstraction capabilities are only marginally better than writing straight assembly.
How does this work exactly? Are you doing arbitrage?
I have a B2B micro-ISV, and getting our infosec product in front of the right people is tricky. Would love to hear something about your approach to marketing and advertising?
It might in the models. We'll never know. But also you're getting different tweets because different people are posting different time of day.
I guess more of what I'm asking is, how did you launch? The biggest problem I have is getting word out about my product, which always ends up killing them.

I'm a developer by trade, so marketing and the like isn't my forte. Did you use ProductHunt? Indiehackers? Reddit? Twitter? Word of mouth?

Thanks for the reply btw, very helpful info. I've been iterating on something in my free time that fills a very small budgeting niche. I'm going to wrap it up with a website this weekend and see if I can gain any traction. At the very least, I know that if I had found the product I've built for $1.99 a month or something, I would have just paid the money. Hoping that others feel the same.

Perhaps the most challenging problem with the plate definition is that it would place northern Honshu and all of Hokkaido in North America. Treating the Caribbean, India and Arabia as continents is basically consistent with how we talk about them anyway.

I would of course concede that the president has influence over the makeup of the CBP Board of Directors. That does not necessarily have anything to do with whether the board members are influencing editorial decisions. So you've failed at answering my request by conflating "influence" over the makeup of the board with editorial influence.

In fact, the only references I can find to the CPB attempting to influence editorial decisions at NPR were a series of incidents that happened during a Republican administration, and the actions were found to be in violation of the law, and one of the board members resigned as a result.
Picasso (originally an impressionist) is probably essentially still correct: "Computers are useless. They can only give you answers".
Sorry, I don't follow at all. We can assume that every concept humans have conceived of was at some point conceived of for the first time, there's no need to list examples. But how does that relate to the claim here, that purports to constrain what outputs AIs are and aren't capable of generating?
Must be nice to be China. We (the USA) knew this and yet had no response. China's economic tentacles are so engained in our lives that we are left powerless. Sure we posture for the cameres, but we all know who's boss.

Meanwhile, we're dumping still more resources into war - money we don't have - and Russia and China are laughing.
Idempotence doesn't solve this problem. The jobs are all idempotent. The problem is that jobs will never be retried if a crash occurs.

This doesn't happen at a high rate, but it happens more than zero times per week for us. We pay for Sidekiq Pro and have superfetch enabled so we are protected. If we didn't do so we'd need to create some additional infra to detect jobs that were never properly run and re-run them.

In many ways it is a glorified copy/paste machine that's faster (in some cases) than using traditional search.

That sounds like the most apt description I've heard yet. I have a feeling that's pretty close to spot on. I don't think ChatGPT is going to do much that's very creative or elegant in and of itself, but it can find and c&p a useful snippet for you very quickly.

Maybe the biggest advantage of this over traditional c&p though, is that it does have at least some memory and ability to revise the generated code in a "conversational" fashion. IME (which to be fair is limited, see my other comment) that actually does work, at least to a point.
