True but there's a difference. When I used to go to office my desk had a top of the line ₹50,000 chair. I'd never pay more than ₹10,000 for a chair at home.
What percentage of those people want more friends or friendship time than they have access to? What percentage have a mental illness like depression or anxiety, or alcoholism that would cause them to spend more time alone?

I'm open to the idea that my suicide risk is higher by not having a large group support network, but I enjoy being alone and I enjoy 1:1 time enormously more than being in groups, and overall I think my quality of life is higher with this choice. Everyone is different of course.
> After you figure out how to access gpt-4 properly, it mostly boils down to knowing what to ask and actually thinking of asking it to begin with.

Agreed, but I don't think this goes broad or deep enough, particularly with respect to the power of iteration and recursion in conversation: the basics of reflection over prior action. The key here is to realize that there's a natural sensemaking process that goes from action to reflection to repetition and that sensemaking process is a collaboration between computer agents and human agents whether it remains implicit or explicit in design and whether the computer agent is programmed to recognize and resolve conflict and consensus in not just subjective but objective fact-or-fiction. Right now, we aren't even at the latter, let alone the former. That will come with time and acceptance of the veracity problem that is writ large in the AI UX currently.

> it mostly boils down to knowing what to ask and actually thinking of asking it to begin with.

Indeed, recognition vs. recall is as old as GUI vs. CLI. However, the key is to realize that some folks will be faster through recall because they've actually built up the knowledge to recall vs the symbolism to recognize.

My argument is that, for me, there's little value in chat because that's not how I prefer to interact with any human or computer agent via writing. It's too slow. I much prefer the batch mode where there is larger latency between question and answer, but that latency provides an emergent cadence to the conversation that is more natural, providing room for listening-and-thought-before-response. This may sound old-fashioned like punch cards, but conversation has been missing from many technical things for years and we've paid the price for that silence.

The least effective companies are all setup the same way too.

It's amazing to me how much less invasive some surgeries have become nowadays. I have some people close to me who I thought would require months of recovery get fixed up in mere weeks. It seems like one of those fields where advances have been happening quietly for decades.

> Spain is a world leader in organ transplants, according to figures from the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation, performing 5 per cent of organ donations worldwide in 2021.

This surprised me, too. I wondered what the factors were in Spain succeeding at this. This article gives some ideas: https://www.thelocal.es/20170915/how-spain-became-world-lead...

The major contributing factors seem to be a good donor coordination system, automatic organ donor registration, and a slightly more permissive regime for organ donor eligibility.

> The reality is the company is failing, can’t pay people what you don’t have.

If the company is failing, then leadership should be cutting their losses and engaging in deep layoffs. Downsize production to adjust for lower demand, preserve working capital, focus on efficiency. Upsetting your employees is the worst of both worlds: your employees perform worse, and you don't save any money on compensation while that happens. So you make a deep cut, take the emotional hit, make it clear that it's the only cut you're going to make, and then ramp the company back up.
I won with my first game with my first move but I didn't really understand what happened. I think this might be caused by the process time that reinforce this feeling of "what's actually happening". Maybe a bit more information on the front page could help the player understanding what's happening.
Slightly related: what's the difference in use cases of llama-index vs LangChain? I know that LangChain can make retrieval using embeddings and I suspect that the nodes synth step is exclusive to llama-index, but I might be wrong.

Can someone more knowledgeable chime in?
The problem with these kind of debates is that someone can come along and dump a single paper they've found and claim that it backs up their argument. And maybe it does, but the experts at health agencies like the NHS and dozens or hundreds of others (to sidestep your claim about the US one taking the wrong decisions) get to review, full time, with relevant professional experience, all of the evidence.

But, let's look at your link. First paragraph:

"And the latest data show that the newest booster shot, which targets the Omicron BA.4/5 strain and original virus variants in a bivalent formulation, isn’t that much more effective in generating virus-fighting antibodies than the original vaccine when used as a booster."

So this doesn't even back up your claim. It doesn't say boosters aren't effective, just that the bivalent vaccine isn't "that much more effective" than the original vaccine as a booster.
I wouldn’t say that training on copyrighted material definitely isn’t copyright infringement, because training may require making a copy into memory for the training algorithm. That may be enough.

In Midler v. Ford, Ford had a license from the publisher to use the song, so Midler’s case was based on the publicity right, if I recall correctly.

Also, the publicity right can’t be implicated just by copying a style or genre. It has to be imitating the person without permission.
I don't see how that was in dispute or responsive to the previous comment.
The title is about gravity, but the first line is about wave of gravity. Hmm. We know that gravity alone can create radiation - the Hawking one. We also know that gravitational waves - the spacetime curvature changes with time - carry energy, so can be transformed into light. Do we still know if spacetime alone can create light?.. I'm not sure we know it today. So... we have a great experiment here, which shows something known in a different way - is it correct?
I don't know anything about this market so I may be completely off-topic here but would RISC-V help in this case? RISC-V has a modular design where the size and complexity of you CPU can be adapted pretty dramatically (RV32I is not that much more complex than a 6502) and being "open" and free can be manufactured by anyone.

Indeed today it remains a niche but we see some reasonable momentum and it's getting traction.

Again I don't know anything about PCEngine (reading the title I though they were still making that game console from the 90s...) but I am interested to see where RISC-V could take over some x86 business and that's looks like it.
Really fun article to read, and I'm not even that interested in math.

Somewhat unrelated, but I cant help but ask why authors are still using Medium as opposed to Substack or some other alternative. The hook of the post happened to interest me to the extent where I went looking for an un-auth-walled version, but I'm sure there have been countless cases where I have simply abandoned it because I wasn't invested enough to seek out the mirrors -- and I'm sure no author wants that.

That's true but sampling beyond your target domain bounds seems pointless, right? If, say, you're sampling audio oversampling will just give you a bunch of frequencies you'd end up throwing away regardless. It's extra work for no benefit if the domain already has well-prescribed bounds.

I guess it could be useful in cases where you don't have bounds to work against.

This comes back to the poor writing, though, as I believe the author meant to indicate that the industry standard for sampling audio is 10x their cited sampling rate of 2000HZ in the text (though this is incorrect, too. Audio is sampled at 44100HZ because the general upper bound on hearing is 22000HZ, so by Nyquist's theorem, sampling at 44100 gives you enough range to avoid aliasing within the 0-22000 band).
>why is baffling, but thats religion.

For any given moral position you can keep asking why forever and never come to a satisfying conclusion unless you actually define what a moral is.

Is it just an aesthetic judgement on behavior? Is it a product of the ability to evoke pleasure & pain? Is it simply whatever you desire? Does the term even have any meaning at all?

I think OpenAI has a few hidden advantages that are not obvious at this point. It could be additional training data, filtering/preprocessing that data, some changes to the architecture, who knows? None of the open source models are even close to GPT 3.5, what to speak about GPT 4? I've tried everything and the 60G llama variants so i'm not sure it's about number of parameters. They definitely have some hidden sauce.
My work on constrained text generation / filter assisted decoding for LLMs is cited in this article! One of my proudest moments was being noticed by my senpai Gwern!

https://paperswithcode.com/paper/most-language-models-can-be...

I want to update that just because GPT-4 appears to be far better at following constraints, doesn't mean that it's anywhere near perfect at following them. It's better now at my easy example of "ban the letter e" but if you ask for several constraints, or mixing lexical and phonetic constraints, it gets pretty awful pretty quickly. Filter assisted decoding can make any LLM (no matter how awful they are) follow constraints perfectly.

I can't wait to get someone whose better at coding than me to implement these techniques in the major LLM frontends (oogabooga, llamma.ccp, etc) since my attempt at it was quite poopy research code: https://github.com/hellisotherpeople/constrained-text-genera... - especially with the idea of this but with all LLM types (e.g. bert), using a declarative syntax like langchain, and also supporting constrained beam search for sequence level constraints.

BTW - just to motivate the nay-sayers on why filtering LLM vocabularies may be a cool (and dangerous) technique even in a world where LLMs became "perfect" at following lexical, semantic, or phonetic constraints in the prompt. Imagine asking ChatGPT to "generate some social security numbers". Now imagine doing that again when it's only allowed to generate number or hyphens. This is one of the many reasons why full vocabulary probability distributions are not exposed by folks like OpenAI

other than infinity classes of different cardinality, there are also hyperreal numbers, which define different infinities within the same class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreal_number

within this axiom system, you have to unlearn the school "wisdom" that 2 * infinity = infinity

hyperreal numbers are super useful to define the derivative of step functions algebraically without a dirac delta density clutch.

Wow. That seems very conservative.

Over here in Croatia they only look at your last 3-6 pay slips and that's it. I own a small LLC and I gave myself a raise before taking out a mortgage, then after I got the mortgage I returned back to my original salary.

On a 2.200 EUR before tax salary I was cleared for a 150.000 EUR mortgage, but could have went even above that. They don't care about deposits or savings, even though owning a credit card and investing briefly (40 EUR each month for 2-3 months, then you can stop investing) in one of the bank's funds does lower your interest rate (which was 2.48% before New Year, now it over 3%).

If they want to monetize that old stuff, couldn't they just serve up an ad instead of an image for those ancient images, then display the full image if you visit the actual imgur page by deleting the .jpg extension?

Or they could do what Facebook used to do (still does?), and put them on Blu-ray disk cold storage, then load them into one of those giant jukebox-esque machines that grabs the Blu-ray disk whenever someone click an ancient link and spend 60 seconds serving the image up or whatever.

Hell, write all the images with their URLs to magnetic tape and donate them to the Internet archive, and let them figure out what to do with them if/when they eventually have the funds.

Literally anything would be better than outright deleting those old images.
What is the eternal September of Reddit?
I doubt that even 1% of people using Reddit are using alts to upvote themselves or downvote brigade others. If you have any data to the contrary I'd be happy to hear it.
In our Solar System, planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, space dust together hold 0.15% mass. The rest of the 99.85% mass is held by the Sun. I think this mass distribution is uniformly true for other stellar systems as well, where majority of the mass is held by the stars (singular, binary, collapsed) and very small amount by other objects in the system.

Given the above, why is there so much postulated "dark matter"?
The limitation of gpt4 and the chat models in general is that they are adamant to declare themselves "as an ai language model"

Cohercing them in specific output is becoming harder and harder, and postprocessing to cut the fat tedious to maintain as unreliable, plus who wants that on their pipeline.

So yeah they are fine for having a chat about test passage but as authoring tools are heavy,slow,and require lot of manually moving strings back and forth.

I didn't "dump a single paper". I posted the opinion of an expert in the field, since you clearly don't trust my own assessment of the data. You don't have to trust me, but you just said we have to trust the experts, right?

The "problem" with these kinds of debates is that people who have absolutely no ability to read or evaluate scientific literature confidently assert things that they cannot know, based on what they heard someone else say on social media.

> So this doesn't even back up your claim. It doesn't say boosters aren't effective, just that the bivalent vaccine isn't "that much more effective" than the original vaccine as a booster.

My "claim" was that there's no evidence supporting the dosing schedule for these boosters (this isn't a claim, it's a fact. The booster doses were approved without a single human efficacy trial [1]). Arguing that antibody titers go up after boosting is not a rebuttal...because that's what antibodies do when you inject things into the body. It's the entire topic of the thread. Antibodies go up, then they go back down. It's a poor proxy for immunity.

[1] Here's the announcement from the FDA on the latest dosing recommendations:

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavi...

You'll see fun facts such as:

* the single-dose schedule for Moderna bivalent is based on antibody responses in about 1500 people, only 145 of whom had Covid in the past. This doesn't reflect any aspect of the real world, where most of us have had it at least once.

* they didn't have enough data to justify their decision, so they just grouped together stuff from prior vaccines because "these vaccines are manufactured using the same process."

* for Pfizer, effectiveness of a single dose is supported by OBSERVATIONAL DATA from England on the effectiveness of one dose of monovalent Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

* "Among individuals 12 to 17 years of age who had received only one dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, those who had evidence of previous infection with alpha, delta or omicron variants had increased protection against symptomatic omicron infection compared with those with no evidence of previous infection"

That last one is an absolutely mind-blowing bit of doublespeak, by the way. They're literally saying that they're justifying this as a single-dose vaccine because people who were previously infected show more protection after one dose than those who were never infected.

Think about that.

I've done this with Extism before. You can now write JavaScript plug-ins that run both on the server and the browser: https://github.com/extism/js-pdk
This uses QuickJS compiled to Wasm. You can also embed these into any of the host languages we support, python included. We do have some rudimentary support for HTTP requests as well.

In order to create a plug-in that allows the host to inject and run code, I've done this:

1. Create some kind of export function like `set_code` that takes the string input of the code in CJS format. Example:

```
function myFunc() {
return "hello world"
}

module.exports = myFunc
```

2. `set_code` can store that text into a plug-in variable with `Var.set('my-function', code)`

3. Create a second export function that can eval the code. Would look something like this:

```
let result = eval(Var.getString('my-function'))()
Host.outputString(result)
```

If you're interested I can compile one of these for you. I've been working on a demo that uses a similar technique.
