> Where is the connection between computational details and the model's high-level behavior?

I think for the most part we don't know. People at OpenAI/etc who are training/testing these models and trying to control them no doubt have some understanding of how they are actually working, but they are certainly not claiming to fully understand.

At a purely conceptual level I think the best way to begin to bridge the gap between plumbing and behavior is to forget the training objective and consider what the models must have been forced to learn in order to optimize that objective. Sutskever from OpenAI has called what they've learnt a "world model", meaning a model of the generative processes (the human mind and entities being discussed?) that are producing the sequence of words they are predicting. It's certainly way more abstract than learning some "stochastic parrot" surface level statistics of the training data, even if that's maybe a good starting point to describe it to a layman.

It would be fascinating to know exactly how these models are performing reasoning - by analogy (abstract pattern matching) perhaps ?
I assume yes. I've had similar problems, but over time I've learned not to separate solutions into "good" and "bad", but place them on a spectrum of "goodness" from my perspective. That way, it's easier to accept that somebody just wants a not-so-good solution and do it.
User users care about things they themselves can do.

You have permission to empty your own bank account.

Permissions can of course be part of the solution, but they can't solve the problem of when you want to delegate a task requiring scary permissions.

you think government agencies should be paying for this?

It seems neither do they.
In terms of hp without decimal in gaming and related with max hp changing, the best solution should be to rounding down (or nearest zero rounding) the result, and keep minimum hp to 1 when max hp changes. In case for minimum hp unit (1 in this case) to have changed into lower max hp then they'll die too, hence why minimum 1 hp as the result is logical.

This is exactly why heroes won't die in Dota2 when toggling off armlet while having 1 hp
It is pretty normal to put payment details in place for a free trial.
What's your bank considering we still haven't been given an example? The Honda one works fine in Firefox.
In Haiti, you can only get an ID card when you become an adult at 18. Anything that requires identification would need your birth certificate and the presence of your parents as you can’t be bound legally otherwise.
I agree with you. There are several major games that transmit all player info at all times when it's really not necessary and makes "ESP" style hacks possible, which can be supremely unfair. Developers would rather tack on a rootkit than make engine changes to resist this kind of cheating.
Unfortunately, in most places with the rule of law that's for a court to decide -- that's the thing about entering into agreements (even onerous ones). Until a court frees you from your obligation, you're obliged.
Foreign countries learned the same thing decades ago. The best placed spy is sometimes no match for the U.S. media, especially in this day of must-get-clicks. Like when Tim Weiner wrote an article for the NYT exposing a CIA asset because he could, and in doing so got the man killed. Weiner has said he feels zero remorse for it because he was doing his job. Many journalists appear to feel the same way: It doesn't matter the harm the reporting causes, because that's their job.
The interface? you kind of need a keyboard to type code, and a touch screen doesn't make typing easier nor faster. But you could create some sort of visual programming language (with nodes for instance or bricks) that is easy to edit on mobile.
No, not after seeing how they’re displacing Google before our very eyes. No one is in a league of their own. Especially with the availability of tools like LLMs which can be used to disrupt just about anyone.
"Incompetence" has been used as the justification for broadened power so many times at this point it would be surprising if they aren't feigning it from time to time.
It's similar to how many "media" and "video" companies just call FFmpeg
To me, an AI company would be a company that offers products with AI capabilities (regardless on if they are just calling an API).

We have plenty of web hosting companies that don't own a server, energy companies that don't own power generation or power infrastructure, mobile phone carriers that don't own cell-towers etc. so I don't see this being any different to any of these scenarios.
We played chess in high school. I learned a lot about life, other people, the consequences of one’s actions. Attempting to ascertain the intentions of another based on their actions…
I remember the lessons I learned playing chess in the coffee shop more vividly than I remember any of the lessons I learned in class.
If only there was a way to teach computers to identify patterns based on a large dataset...
The article I liked to you had a link in it to the primary source at the very top of the article. Read the primary source. Every secondary source spins everything - always go back to the primary source if you want the news.

By the way, the full list of crimes that are not getting prosecuted is very long (covering a lot of misdemeanors and a few felonies), and CNN wanted to write an uplifitng story, so they chose the crimes that I presume are popular to not prosecute. It's not that complicated to understand the bias, and I'm not suggesting that anyone has done anything malicious. I only said that they were "peddling 'lazy lies'" because that source did exactly what you accused me of (misrepresenting what they will and won't prosecute).

A lot of people (particularly on this forum) try this form of lazy argumentation where they ask for sources for any claim they don't like so they can go try to poke holes in one source or another without actually doing any research. If you want to argue about something, go do some research and stop accusing other people of "lying" and "irrationality." What you are doing here is a textbook example of arguing in bad faith.
This looks promising! I’m following.
This is usually a breach of ToS, they generally have this covered.

And the target audience doesn't want to be a programmer or even customize their phone.
Sales guy last week: “We don’t use OCR. That’s 20-year old tech. We use Amazon Textract”

Annoyance of sales/marketing tactics aside, the problem is when you are the plug-in. They can screw you at any moment, raise the price, change the interface every month, kick you out of the App Store, or whatever. You have little to no leverage.

You have real value when people want to plug into you.
It's OK to take food through security.
It's the case since forever in many companies I though? As an example level E42 at $LOCAL_BANK has pay range 125-145k/year target bonus 12-15% which means variability is only (or whopping) 15% for the 'same' job title.

I think very rigid predefined pay bands are very common for large companies, at least in Canada.
Germany used to be the world's reference in engineering to me. Now, I see them as a country of non-sense alarmists.
>> "To protect the integrity of the fact-finding process, as well as agency deliberations, the Port Authority’s longstanding policy is to maintain the confidentiality of these types of Inspector General investigative reports."

What requires protection here, other than the absurd consumer price gouging among a captive audience that occurs in EVERY airport across the country and those that let it occur? They are absolutely right in the article, this should be something easy to be transparent about, and shouldn't be a secret process run by lobbying restaurant companies, city management on the grift, and decrepit municipal process.
Probably some effort by businesses to make everyone’s title include a random number followed by a government effort to force the use of some list of approved titles.

The fundamental problem is that businesses are focused on profits rather than employee satisfaction or producing quality products. Unless that is changed any regulations nibbling around the edges will just end up in a cat and mouse game between then businesses and the government.
Ah I think there is some kind of bug on mobile! I’ll look into it today!
The military loved Discord for Gen Z recruiting. Then the leaks began
This is a public service announcement, why on earth did you think it appropriate to come out guns blazing to blame the victim?
I highly appreciate the effort that goes into this!

The only pity is that I need VMware Fusion and it seems to be broken in the patched Ventura with no fix in sight. Stuck on Catalina for now on my 2012 rMBP.
The bar of entry is much higher and Smart Phones are designed that way. It is impossible to play around with programming on Smart Phones when you need to either Jail Break the phone or pay for expensive licenses.

The last thing companies want to happen with smart phones is what happened to PCs. People were able to upend many large commercial companies in the 80s and 90s due to the low bar of entry.

Just to name a few: DEC, CDC, Data General, Wang. IBM almost folded due to the PC. So Smart Phones were made closed to prevent the same revolution from repeating itself.
Even the rubber keys of a ZX Spectrum were better than trying to type on a small touchscreen, though.
There’s probably 50 recipes at this point! I wish I added some logging haha because that is definitely a bug!
I had a similar pleasant experience with a Wooting 60HE keyboard I purchased recently. Updated my keyboard’s firmware and settings right in Chrome! So much nicer than downloading icky gaming peripheral software. I’ve been told a lot of that stuff is borderline spyware.

Excited to try it out with some ESPHome projects too now.
Seriously why is this flagged?
Symmetric gigabit on AT&T fiber (USA) on their older GPON-based network for $85USD/month. The GPON OLT for my neighborhood isn't oversubscribed (yet), so I consistently get the advertised speeds.
No, distributed training is one of these holy grails nobody has quite figured out yet. You can split training across multiple GPUs in the same computer, or multiple computers in close proximity connected by infiniband, but that's about as much latency as we can handle right now. We need some breakthrough to make it possible for internet-connected computers to usefully collaborate.

If it did work we wouldn't be waiting around for WebGPU, it would already exist as a desktop program.
Some cameras do this already, and there is some interesting research (2022) that tries to use zero-knowledge proofs to make signed images editable (e.g. cropping, simple adjustments).

AI is just a marketing term. Doesn't actually have a proper definitiom.
I feel like the crapiest of keyboards is still better than an on screen keyboard for long text entry.

I tried ssh-ing from my phone once, and it was an absolutely terrible experience.
You haven't explained why you couldn't cancel it through settings.
Why would you even care about hair splitting definitions rather than whether you need what the company offers?

Putin invaded Ukraine because he wanted to, and Germany had nothing to do with that.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you might have some form of right of cancellation though?

(in case somebody wondered just as I did)
LLMs are way too computationally expensive. I would like to see specialized and unfiltered models, but the only way that could happen is through an untapped market for such a thing, or breakthrough research to make it easier to run on consumer hardware. LLMs will only be run by million dollar companies for some time.
> “Tourism is a permissible purpose, and it is legitimately the purpose of entry for ‘digital nomads’.”

The dictionary definition of tourism is travel for pleasure. Full-time employment paid in another country is not that.

But of course online remote work is so new that legislation written decades ago doesn’t explicitly cover this. Maybe you’re right and the many immigration professionals I’ve talked to are just being overly cautious. I still wouldn’t recommend anyone try entering the United States on a tourist visa and telling the immigration officer that they’re going to be working remotely.
We tried cohere for some of our products and it was terrible in generating anything of value. Maybe they will have something better with their later versions but for now this seems like a company built to take advantage of hyped ai keywords
How did you get yourself out of these?

I find I just don’t have ambitions for anything anymore. I simply exist without any hope/expectation of joy/excitement.

I used to be more energetic and fairly optimistic. I’m not even stressed and have overcome a few minor health issues that used to bother me.

Yet at this point, I can’t help but feel the best years have passed and now it just a slow decline to the end. (But no thoughts of suicide/self-harm).

I know this probably isn’t entire true but can’t get away from the feeling.
In addition to the infantry gradual bufs, full-walling in Feudal using a mix of palisades and houses became ubiquitous. Pallisades, buildings-as-walls etc were gradually nerfed. Still popular, but now there's a higher associated cost. I wonder if they're done with those nerfs, or if there's another coming. (Since this technique is still very strong... Or maybe it's that scout rushes are strong!)
TLDR: increase of lactate levels may be a pathway to explain long covid
Firefox doesn't implement that method yet: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GPU/getPref...

You can probably use "bgra8unorm" where getPreferredCanvasFormat isn't available, that seems to be the preference for at least Blink and WebKit.

Chrome doesn't support rgba8unorm on Mac, probably because Apple seems to have chosen bgra8unorm as their format for their Metal API for some reason, so you'll have to use BRG rather than RGB if you want to support Apple hardware at the moment.
Great. Take me to court for $9.99, because you think I wanted a prepaid service I tried to cancel.
one can hope that with web assembly we can get closer to that dream, and eventually just remove the whole web browser.
Steamwebhelper.exe routinely consumes 100+ MB of memory
Unfortunately, windows doesn’t really have sandboxed processes ubiquitously available.

There is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-pr...

However it isn’t available in the Home release.

Also unlike macOS or iOS/Android sandboxes, it’s not a process level thing, but rather a VM of some kind.

Plus, if it did introduce sandboxing like macOS, you’d see so many people getting pissed off when their applications start asking for permissions, as can be seen in every single thread that comes up here with regards to macOS.

Personally I think every OS should have sandboxing by default (perhaps as an opt out) because no amount of being cautious as a user is enough to prevent application overreach.
Bad headline. Should read “unfair pay disparities cause worker discontent”. The transparency laws are working as intended.
The option was simply not there (contrary to the docs)! I literally needed to open a support ticket.
> I'm not sure it's the whole thing, but I think I've also figured out that I find algorithm-type reasoning far easier to follow and work with than equations or proofs.

For me it's the opposite. Once i figure out what an expression is, I do not want it to change on the next clock cycle.
I doubt very seriously that Apple lost any sales and there were third party apps like Mapquest that offered real time directions before the Maps app had them at all.

My problem with DocuSign(DS) is of user authentication:

A recruiter I work for created a document for me to sign and had DS sent me an email with a link to the document.

The document contained my full name. Browsing around in the UI I noticed a log-viewer. It showed "<Name> has logged in", "<Name> has opened <document>". However, there is no verification that it was me who received that link. There can't be any such verification as I never have created an account and had DS validate my identity.

Docusign might be very easy for that recruiting company, but the other party is only known by an email address.
GPT-4's architecture is a trade secret, but vision transformers tokenize patches of images. Something like 8x8 or 32x32 pixel patches, rather than individual pixels.

Multi-model text-image transformers add these tokens right beside the text tokens. So there is both transfer-learning and similarity graphed between text and image tokens. As far as the model knows they're all just tokens. It can't tell the difference between the two.

For the model, the tokens for the words blue/azure/teal and all the tokens for image patches with blue are just tokens with a lot of similarity. It doesn't know if the token its being fed is text, image, or even audio or other sensory data. All tokens are just a number with associated weights to a transformer, regardless of what they represent to us.

The GPT-4 vision API is actually in production and in at least two public products already. https://www.bemyeyes.com/ and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/seeing-ai
> There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

I honestly have no idea what this says. Why would I care about "instances"? Why would I care about de-federating? I don't even know what these words mean.

I both agree-ish but also, I relish less the conspiratorial grade thinking as the internet commentator M.O. after years of QAnon & other similar malarkey.
You're asking what are the cottage industries? Places you won't think to look. Things that may be distasteful. Vtubers are an example of a recently-commercialized idea. Look for stuff that's just getting going.

The frustrating part is that billions in investment money is performing the same search, and so these ideas don't remain small for long anymore, before they get bootstrapped to their "too big to enter easily but too small/young to solve hard problems" phase by people looking for quick returns.
The answer is obvious - most people don’t want to do this. They want to text or call a friend, look up the weather or sports, stream some entertainment or read the news. They’re experts in their own domains and don’t have the time or inclination to learn programming.

There’s some heavy condescension in this thread, claiming that not programming “keeps people stupid”. As if creating can only happen in an IDE and not in ProCreate or iMovie. It would help if programmers like us eased up on everyone else. Not everyone needs to be exactly like us.

Also, you have to be living under a literal rock if you’ve missed the potential impact of LLMs, specifically chatGPT plugins. Once that’s generally available, everyone can tell the LLM what they want in their native language and have it done. Everyone can build custom recipes that combine multiple apps and APIs in novel ways to get stuff done. That’s a revolution waiting to happen - where everyone will be limited only by their imagination, not by their knowledge of programming. And it’ll happen without having to show every smartphone user a BASIC terminal.
Sounds like this will start another push in the US to eliminate E2E Encryption or at the very least force the use of back-doors.

Seems this will never end. I heard about a push 1 year or 2 ago, but I have not heard much since. So, here we go again.
Surely this was by design?

At least when solving physics problems, you'll frequently scale the equations so the actual values in the problem are around -1..1. Thus having extra precision around -1..1 when solving such problems would be beneficial.

For example, if you're trying to solve the motion of a mass on a spring that gets an initial kick, rather than representing the spring length in meters, you divide by some characteristic length[1] and get a non-dimensional length of order 1. If you want the actual length, you just multiply the non-dimensional length by the characteristic length.

On the contrary, the reason it's a marketing term is because it means something to end users. It's just not what OP thinks it means.

That said, successful marketing terms can lose a lot of their meaning and become very broad categories if a lot of companies/products adjacent to it are able to squeeze value out of the association.
You can write apps for an Android phone without jailbreaking/rooting it. And you don't need an expensive license to use Android Studio. Point taken that the barrier to entry is higher though.

I once built a web app for a client that did not use any AI or machine learning at all. All it did was to make some well thought out SQL queries. They called it "advanced AI" on the marketing page and made lots of money. And I bet it made the end customers feel better to use such an advanced tool.

What's really fun is when you have a ton of apparently completely different stores at an airport and then you realize they're all just fronts for the same company.

Part of the answer is that people going through airports are often buying expense account ones, and they're quite price flexible.
