Nice explaining, yet terrible web design.
It's such an uncomfortable topic that this right wing news article doesn't even hint at that as a possibility. Canada's Most Wanted list seems to support your theory, though.

> If I were to start with ChatGPT I would, necessarily, only say what has been said.

Perhaps with ChatGPT you would actually go ahead and write that book, adding those crucial 10% of key ideas which are yours and letting it help you fill out the 90% of standard but necessary content.

> If I were to start with ChatGPT I would, necessarily, only say what has been said.

This is a bold claim I don't aee any evidence for. If you sample a model outaude its data (which happens all the time(, you expect to get results outside of its data.
Are you planning to deal with all the complexities that each market brings? For example, compare with one of the standard German property search websites: https://www.immobilienscout24.de/ and here are some things that I, personally, would or have used when searching for property that I don't immediately see on your site:

For apartments:

* Searching by floor (or below or above floor)

* Searching by presence/absence of elevator

For all property types:

* Searching by rented / unrented status (evicting tenants for your own use is hard)

* Searching by build phase, if you're interested in new-build properties

* Searching by build year (some people prefer Altbaus, some consider them the work of the devil)

* Searching by heating type (underfloor vs radiator)

* Searching by rooms, not bedrooms. In Germany, a 1-room flat is a Studio Apartment and doesn't have a bedroom.

* Display of and searching by fees when buying (typically this is searching for "no estate agent fee")

* Display of and searching by Warm & Cold rent when renting

* Ability to search by state & city (at a bare minimum, and note that state affects how much property tax has to be paid when purchasing)

I think most countries are going to have a lot of little quirks like this, and it's going to be a hard sell to get people to switch over until you've got a lot of these in place for each country. I know that I've used international sites like this in the past and ultimately abandoned them because they either made it too difficult to find what I wanted, or there just weren't enough properties on there.

Investing in public AI companies: comparison table
Here's a cheeky one, this one was from Bing AI ('creative' setting)

> How about this word: flimzor. It means a person who is very good at making up new words. For example, you could say: “You are such a flimzor! I love your creativity.”
> I didn't get a larger monitor just so that everything can waste more space with giant text.

That's what the outer min() is for: it makes sure the font size caps out at 1.3em which usually translates to 16 x 1.3 = 20.8px, which is well within the recommended size range for prose anyway.

What that whole snippet does boils down to exactly what they said in the article:

> The main global stylesheet uses the browser default font size, smoothly scaled up to 130% on higher-resolution displays as the baseline for the body text of the whole document.

On a low-dpi screen, nothing changes. On a high-dpi one, if you haven't set your browser text size to something larger, this snippet saves you from tiny unreadable text. Also note that ctrl+ and ctrl- to zoom still work just fine. It's not as dramatic a change as the sibling comment said. You can try it out on their site to see for yourself.
I love pizza parties and I am not in HR, so the article is plain wrong.

I like pizza parties better when no one shows up and the organizer asks “Who will eat this delicious pizza?!” and I get to keep it all for myself.
Yep. But we get paid at academic rates. I stay for the relaxed lifestyle, not the salary.
Also, I think every one of these has been broken. There have been instances of images being entirely replaced by historical images, without breaking the signature.

Is there any independent confirmation of this?

It's because there's not really a logical reason for people to not get vaccinated. ChatGPT making up—or even parroting—false medical information hurts users that may want it to tell the truth instead of just saying nonsense that sounds like it could be true.

I think the question should be, what possible advantage is there to not correcting the model? Why would anyone want to ask it for arguments why vaccination is bad and be told because it's 100% fatal and will give you autism and turn your children into puppies and make you unable to see purple?

And I can tell the difference between tube amps, profilers and modellers in both feel and tone, but it's good enough for the average Joe that they won't care if they like the image or sound. It only serves to illustrate the point that trying to evaluate the best x work is futile because tastes vary.

Personally, I don't like the image, nor do I like any AI-generated "art" thus far. I'm a big camera wonk and a tone chaser, so I appreciate detail and that elusive quality that makes something more than just competent.
Having fun imagining how someone would go about researching this. Make a Wikipedia crawler that looks for lists of lakes on each island. For each lake, read its wikipedia article to find each island. Repeat.
You can't even run the current Xcode version on the previous macOS version, which is much more ridiculous, but that's the Apple software development ecosystem for you ;)
For example, I once encountered some mongodb ransomware, which listed all databases and then dropped them one by one. Reading no data at all. But the message did claim to have downloaded the whole database.
The fastest printers from the era prior to laser printers were line printers. I used to work as a field engineer maintaining and repairing these and they could be quite intimidating devices. The fastest I worked on could print ~1500 lines per minute at a large NCR site. The first thing you'd do was remove your tie and apply ear plugs before starting work on these beasts.

Once you have an agentic AI with years of experience your claim is disproven. I consider this as conceptually possible given a 10-100x increase in scale.
If you define the continent as a continuous expanse of land, then the Americas and Afro-Eurasia are continents, albeit divided by the Panama Ithsmus, Suez Ithsmus, and...Ural Mountains?

Panama and Suez are divided by a canal, but those are artificial with a floor higher than sea level. If you stopped maintenance on the canals for a geologic blink of an eye and it would return to a land bridge, but it's narrow...I can see arguments both ways.

However, the only argument for calling Europe one continent and Asia a different continent is that Eurasia would be too big if it were a continent. Afro-Eurasia is right out!
Hoping for the day this technology makes it into gaming. Looks incredible.
They have the same economic mobility as men now.

At least your corporate overlord lets you leave and has an HR department; a domestic overlord can be less kind.

That is progress.

The fact that it's also become an economic necessity is orthogonal and regretable. Bernie wuda won &c

Also, talking about differences, it turns out they may be more cut out for work than men, since they seem to be graduating from college at higher rates and are thus eligible for higher paying jobs than the majority of men! Maybe the old order was stuck in a local minimum, and giving women the opportunity to learn and work shook us out of it, leading us to tumble into deeper minima. :D (On topic with this thread kek)
Your point is purely speculation. This is a 65% increase in profit in 4 years for a ~20 year old company. The reason I think Pichai sucks is because he's firing people while profit is $60B.
I have no problem paying for the Pro version, but one if its marketing pitches is "enhanced reliability", which is a wild marketing spin on "the free version will lose jobs in fairly common scenarios".

In sidekiq without super_fetch (a paid feature), any jobs in progress when a worker crashes are lost forever. If a worker merely encounters an exception the job will be put back on the queue and retried but a crash means the job is lost.

Again, no problem paying for Pro, but I would prefer a little more transparency on how big a gap that is.

Your arguments natural progression results in 'why make anything, it is not eco-friendly', which is silly.

Compromises are always made, and there are way bigger fish to fry. To me it seems like criticism just to criticize.
When I learned about RL we were taught to disable exploration when doing evaluation of the model since exploration part is stochastic. I don't think that would work in production.

OpenAI was created to solve a problem that involves doing science, so... at the moment, it absolutely does do science.
They dont look like kids to me https://twitter.com/666_mancer/status/1646576755359055894
>That is not part of the scientific process

What? OpenAI is absolutely conducting science amongst themselves. They are certainly engaging in the hypothesis -> test -> result scientific method, which is science in its purest form. Sharing the secret sauce is what is done or expected in academia, but that doesn’t mean that OpenAI isn’t conducting science behind their own walls. You’re conflating institutional academia with the scientific method.

If I go home and test the boiling point of water in my garage and record the result privately without publishing a paper, am I not conducting science? What nonsense.
I think this is a great first step. The plains area of the US is responsible for a ton of food and we need our farmers to save as much money as possible. John Deer pressing them under its thumb only increases prices for farmers and Americans.
Just went to gym and they used to have a great stretching teacher. I did not know what is this but if they would call their activity a yoga I never join them because in my mind yoga is some good things plus ideology aplomb. I used to achieve a split in 2 years of very regular trainings and I consider this as the best physical experience I ever had. It made my old legs to bear different kinds of sports like marathon running, boarding, etc. I would never achieve this result without a trainer. For me 4 months was the time when I still was the worst student in group, just keep training. Maybe read a book "stretching russian method".
'Deep Work' and 'So good they can't ignore you' are his best works IMO, and worth reading if you're into applications of deliberate practice toward thinking types of work.

I suppose that should there be enough fraud on the gTLD's that mimic .edu[cation] we could push for legislation to have ICANN [1] drop those TLD's given that scammers will do what scammers can do. Or alternately add the same requirements as .edu to those gTLD's. In the mean time perhaps all the firewall and DNS providers that block malicious sites should just globally block those TLD's. e.g. OpenDNS, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, maybe even Google DNS and Cloudflare DNS, all the blocklists on Github [2], etc...

How I felt arguing against it:

That wiki is about Birmingham in the US.

By comparison, there were 93 murders in 2022 in the West Midlands (the UK region encompassing Birmingham, UK). That's a rate of 1.56 per 100,000 population, which I agree is pretty bad - but it's almost 50x less than the equivalent for the US city.

(source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/288221/number-of-homicid...)
Exactly the same thing happened to me. I started by explaining some stats and asked if it agreed with the stats I provided. It said yes but refused to accept the premise of my argument citing over several dragged out sentences that the stats could be misleading (with absolutely no evidence).

I then countered by giving an example where the stats could be useful and it basically just doubled down on its argument against statistics because statistics can be wrong.

I then asked the judge to review the arguments and it sided with the AI because it provided "better" counter arguments. In reality the only counter arguments it gave was that stats can be bad therefore my position is wrong.

I like the idea though. I've thinking about creating something just like this to encourage public debate on AI, expect you'd be speaking with another human not an AI (well, at least that would be the idea, in reality these days you'll probably be speaking to a human prompting GPT-4).
The evacuation was precautionary, killed one person in an accident, only direct loss of life from the Fukushima accident. Not building adequate flood protection and building so close to sea was inane and not something you will find in other sea-shore plants, for example Diablo Canyon in California.
So it’s literally just dropshipping.
If you define the optimization objective to be y = m . x1 . x2 . x3^-2, or perhaps the family y = m . x1^a . x2^b . x3^c -- you might be able to select the right function based on an "experimentally prepared" dataset.

That dataset would not be photographs of the night sky, and those models you're fitting would have to be pre-specified.

We can show, easily, no automated statistical modelling of the night sky will produce F=GMm/r^2

The optimization objective for automated modelling here makes the resulting model nothing more than an interpolation through data points.

Those points, the position of the planets in the sky say, are not caused by F=GMm/r^2 -- but by a near-infinite nuumber of causes, including our relative positions to those planets *which is not in the night sky!*.

If you already know the form of the answer, and have already done the right experiments, yes: the solution is function optimization
While I disagree with the above poster's attitude, I agree with the point about food tasting different depending on where you are.

Perhaps you can get relatively authentic Indian food (ignoring the variations in Indian cuisine for a second) in the U.S. and Canada, compared to India (I've traveled India for comparison). Because there are tons of import markets in both countries to get all the same ingredients.

But Indian food in Greece definitely has a Greek flavour to it, because it's quite hard to find the proper ingredients to make more authentic Indian food. They used feta instead of paneer!

I use Bing instead of Google most of the time. My son decided to quit watching YouTube.

The gap between Apple and Android is vast. Apple really improves the performance of their phones generation after generation, but mainstream Android phones haven't really sped up since 2017.

https://infrequently.org/2021/03/the-performance-inequality-...

"Flagship" Android phones have eye popping prices to match or exceed iPhones but how can you say something is a premium product if it has a bunch of shovelware pre-installed, never gets software updates, and forces you to download a sketchy app if you want to scan a QR code?
One sorta-breaking-loose scenario involves a "Hack/Pwn/Own" AI which (say) North Korea develops & uses. Doesn't much matter whether the AI literally goes rogue, or NK's dictator goes crazy, or there's a major bug in the AI's "Malice Level" code. There is a lot of shoddy-security computerized stuff connected to the internet. That stuff is mostly secured by unwritten human social contracts. A serious hacking AI, with even a modest nation-state collection of vuln's handy, could do a h*ll of a lot of damage in even 30 seconds if its Malice setting got bumped up to 10.

(Of course, this is also a scenario where "all the good guys agree not to do anything risky with AI's" doesn't help one bit.)

>“The work… is the result of a complex interplay of prompt engineering, inpainting and outpainting that draws on my wealth of photographic knowledge. For me, working with AI image generators is a co-creation, in which I am the director. It is not about pressing a button – and done it is. It is about exploring the complexity of this process, starting with refining text prompts, then developing a complex workflow, and mixing various platforms and techniques. The more you create such a workflow and define parameters, the higher your creative part becomes.”

The image is fairly derivative, and doesn’t demonstrate any traits of a well crafted generative image, nor does it show signs of the creator’s ability to draw in a topic, emotion or theme, other than ‘oooh spooky old photo’.

It also doesn’t show off their knowledge of photographic and ai technique like they claim. The scratches and effects look forced, and the hands and faces just look like classic ai.

It’s okay graphic design. He even goes on to say it’s not a photograph.

If this isn’t an April fool’s joke, then Sony have seriously tarnished the reputation of the award.
The terms of usage seems to remain the same and the demo page's privacy policy points to the common Facebook privacy policy.

> Imagine an insurance company giving you a different quote every time you check on their website

It's very disingenuous that the author uses an insurance quote site as an analogy showing an example of their essay grading bot giving different grades to the same paper. The example doesn't need an analogy. A human grading papers would do the same thing if they didn't remember reading the paper.
1. I have a character limit, it doesn't

2. It throws multiple arguments at you

3. Then it stops the debate after a certain point

4. It repeats its arguments

5. then the AI judge says "AI provides logical consistency and use of evidence" despite citing no sources and just brushing aside my counter arguments by saying I'm wrong and repeating its arguments.

Ultimately it wasn't all that different than regular GPT. Is it even possible for the AI judge to say that the user wins?
Recalling yesterday's breakfast is not the same as multiplication table or some other facts you've memorized. Most people don't memorize their breakfast!

IMHO these scenarios are a pure sci-fi and take attention away from the real danger: some clueless MBA type will implement a ChatGPT type model to do some task which will result in some catastrophic fail cases. For example, imagine one implemented as part of health care. That can easily lead to death. That is the danger today.

These models don't yet have any agency of their own. They are just functions with an input resulting in an output.
I disagree.

Too many people happily go along with the status quo, despite correctly recognizing something should be changed. It takes energy, courage, and sacrifice to create change. A body at rest will remain at rest unless acted up on by an outside force.

In this case, this author correctly recognized that its better to force the conversation now, himself, than let things play themselves out naturally.
And then manipulates elections with its copywriting charisma, sockpuppetry, and fiverr so it can install presidents that agree with its political beliefs.
