Oh damn, I missed the hackathon, and I'm visiting the bay area for a short period of time only, and I ended up hacking by myself over the weekend :,)

Where was that hackathon announced - I don't see it on the website? I would like to not miss the next one.
This would eat the app store alive and I could not be happier. So many very basic and simple, frequently cloned, but sometimes necessary apps exist out there that do the whole trial and subscription song and dance to collect rent. This is only because there is no path for open source alternatives. If there were, it would be like the state of affairs with desktop based software, where you have some first party solution, then on github there are typically a couple open source free alternatives if there is any demand for that sort of software, or there are even whole ecosystems like apt, brew, or conda to maintain open source software on your device.
Censorship:

the action of preventing part or the whole of a book, film, work of art, document, or other kind of communication from being seen or made available to the public, because it is considered to be offensive or harmful, or because it contains information that someone wishes to keep secret, often for political reasons

Thank you for reporting it!

I've actually seen this particular question before.
It's hard to figure out why some questions get bad or wrong answers.
This question also doesn't have a proper reference.

I think it's difficult to get the initial result perfect 100% of the time.
So far, my solution to this is an upvote/downvote system.
This lets me either hide downvoted questions, or improve them.
Right now a user who downvoted can report an issue, and I will generate
new variations of the question. If either of the variations receive enough
upvotes, the question will be updated.
Only partially.

Also, even if it were just a Dr front for Bing, it doesn't change that I got perfectly reasonable results for the search string said to return unusable results from Bing, so
It's still fair to say unlimited for all of those except not cooking more. Much like you can easily have an unlimited 1gbps connection. (Or 'unmetered' is advertised sometimes.)
> libraries wanted to make porn available to kids

this is an extremely bad faith interpretation of librarians upholding the first amendment.
Many years ago, there was an image that floated around with Craigslist and all the websites that replaced small parts of it—personals, for sale ads, etc. It turned out the way to beat Craigslist wasn’t to build Yet Another Monolithic Craigslist, but to chunk it off in pieces and be the best at that piece.

This is analogous to what’s happening with AI models. Sam Altman is saying we have reached the point where spending $100M+ trying to “beat” GPT-4 at everything isn’t the future. The next step is to chunk off a piece of it and turn it into something a particular industry would pay for. We already see small sprouts of those being launched. I think we will see some truly large companies form with this model in the next 5-10 years.

To answer your question, yes, this may be as good as it gets now for monolithic language models. But it is just the beginning of what these models can achieve.
Not exactly what you're looking for but to solve a similar problem I've been working on a TUI-over-the-wire protocol.

IMO, create a policy constraint one person, one account and One company, one account would help a lot about this because it will be much easy to identify and punish those who spread fake news. Anonymous accounts are, IMO, the biggest problem of social networks.
Security 101: Physical compromise is full compromise. If someone with the means has access to your unlocked iPhone, it's game over as quickly as Android. Remember JailbreakMe? That was the NiceGuy™ version of iPhone hacking. Now companies bill governments millions of dollars for iPhone jailbreaks and you can't even sideload apps after.
Very good to hear that you are optimizing for inference rather than training.
I’ve tried llama and its various instruction tuned siblings and have yet to get equivalent performance to gpt-3.5 on coding tasks. Seeing how the base model performed relative to gpt-3 on the various benchmarks gives me hope that the difference is just in RLHF or other fine tuning steps. I really hope the community is able to get there, Especially if the resulting model is able to be quantized with minimal loss.
Can you become a citizen? Because most people aren’t interested in some perpetual limbo.
its a verb now, I search at phind.com
In practice if you’re out of a job you can be put on a special visa to look for work and if done in good faith I’ve heard of people who were on such visas for like 6 months.

Another point about being “on your own”. Basically every service that exists to help people out of work is accessible to foreigners. My locality offers “loans” (partially aid, part loan) for people who experience massive drops in salaries, for example. Any resident. Ive almost never run into a service gated on citizenship (except for some job postings with the govt)
> The libraries wanted to make porn available to kids

Assuming that you consider every single one of the titles on this list to be “porn”, but while many of them might be dubiously appropriate for (especially young) children, I don’t think very many of them meet any reasonable definition of “porn”.

> Right, but these advantages and disadvantages are your own to exploit/bear just as much as your skin is.

Wait... So your attitude on being born with dark skin carrying (entirely socially-crafted) disadvantages is "sucks to your luck?"

... Wow.

I hate to be blunt, but that's crap. I think I want no part of your concept of equality or of liberty, and I'm glad wise people in the past saw better than what you're putting on the table.

The liberty of the dice roll and the equality of a seat at the craps table.

What a limiting worldview.
> Why is the government well suited to declare what it and isn't misinformation though?

Presumably because much of the lies and disinformation going around involves them to start with. When some nutjob starts posting about something like millions of American citizens being locked up in FEMA camps, or claiming that a proposed healthcare bill calls for the formation of a government death panel any respectable fact checking org is going to end up asking the lawmakers and FEMA about it anyway so government certainly has a role here.

Ideally, each social media platform would have their own people catching and flagging the worst examples of disinformation and that might also involve enlisting the services of both governments and vetted independent third parties.

In my limited experience on social media where I don't see any official flags for misinformation I've seen plenty of cases where it's other users stepping in and correcting outright lies and common misconceptions complete with sources. That probably works better in some spaces than others though.
> Yes, state censorship can be abused.

Correction, state censorship will be abused. What happens when India elects their version of Trump? Suddenly, what might seem like half-decent system under better leadership becomes a weapon to completely obliterate the news media and target individuals to pursue personal vendettas.

EDIT: If you don't like my comparison, choose any other politician who has documented history of threatening suppression and violence against the free press.
> Just like they could not foresee Orkut and G+ not becoming successful social networks.

They put minimal effort into their products and prematurely sunset them if they don't perform well enough. Their organization is either so fragmented or toxic that they launch products that are competing against eachother.

It really does seem like there are only morons at the helm. A company with as much resources as Google should not continue to fail so badly. My suspicion is as Jobs said of Apple during his time away, the company is being totally run by the product guys not the engineers.
Maybe... that's assuming it's telling you where it's sourcing all that info and you can go prove that it's reliable.

Chat-GPT doesn't do that from what I've seen.

How will you tell it's better???
Until they homogenous their way to a country that doesn’t breed and has 75% of the population above 60.
Ah, so ESD protection should cover that case?
Short-lived construction. The average lifespan of a house in Japan is 20-30 years [0]. Honestly, I like the approach. I'm living in a 100+ year old house. It costs a fortune to heat and cool. Any renovation brings the risk of toxic substances released into the air. But it's got lots of character, right? I guess so, but it's overrated. I dream of living in a new house with good insulation and easy to access electrical conduits.

I would like to see the H-1B program abolished.

I hate knowing that every H-1B employee I see is filling a job that an American could have had.
Have you considered using a database and static questions and answers? This technique gets 100% perfect results each time and needs less energy.
I dont know. But the idea that we pick a group never sits well with me. The election to that group becomes highly political, & eventually the group will fall out of grace.

There's the idea of forming digital juries to hear cases. http://digitaljuries.com/ In the case of censorship it's less about moderating a person, so I think a more fitting flow would be to have the censor build a small case, say why they think there's an issue, then let a jury vote.

I do think we'd need some meta-moderation of a sort. The jury system itself should be broadly open access, but it needs some checks too.
Here's one moving part: speakers. It's becoming more common in the chase for good audio performance from small speakers to have a driver which can easily burn out the speakers, when given the wrong audio signal on normal volume. The firmware needs to actively model the power dissipation and temperature in the speaker and limit the signal if it could damage the speaker.
It was trained on corpus full of mainstream media lies, why would you have expected otherwise? It's by far the most common deflection in its training set.

It's easy to recognize and laugh at the AI replying with the preprogrammed narrative, I'm still waiting for the majority of people realizing they are given the same training materials, non-stop, with the same toxic narratives, and becoming programmed in the same way, and that is what results in their current worldview.

And no, it's not enough to be "skeptic" of mainstream media. It's not even enough to "validate" them. Or to go to other sources. You need to be reflective enough to realize that they a pushing a flawed reasoning methods, and then abusing them again and again, to get you used to their brand of reasoning.

Their brand of reasoning is just basically reasoning with brands. You're given negative sounding words for things they want you to think are bad, and positive sounding words for things they want you to think are good, and continuously reinforce these connections. They brand true democracy (literally rule of the people) as populism and tell you it's a bad thing. They brand freedom of speech as "misinformation". They brand freedom as "choice" so that you will not think of what you want to do, but which of the things they allow you to do will you do. Disagree with the scientific narrative? You're "science denier". Even as a professional scientist. Conspiracy theory isn't a defined word - it is a brand.

You're trained to judge goodness or badness instinctively by their frequency and peer pressure, and produce the explanation after your instinctive decision, instead of the other way around.
If I go to your web site, will I be able to book the same room for the same price as on booking.com, with the same cancellation conditions, in the same or lower number of steps/fields to fill out?

Your odds are much better with 3 companies, that one might succeed. Especially if you are joining late-stage startups. But at the same time, your equity package will be smaller, so the exit won't be as impactful.
I taught for about ten years at the high school level, but I work as a consultant in the tech industry now. While the curricular piece might seem like the natural starting point, the nut to crack would be increasing the trustability of in-class assessments as accurate data on a student's knowledge/abilities are required for that kind of curricular individualization. Good teachers do this kind of assessment, of course - but it's difficult at scale. It's easier for curricular content that is hierarchical in nature, but a great deal of content is not. Assessment is a pretty mature research space (and AI advances to help generate/curate assessment content could be game changing), but there is a block - for some reason - preventing assistive instructional tools for teachers becoming prevelant. It remains, largely, an analog process. That said, I would love to leverage my teaching experience to help design and build such a tool.
Yeah but all that can change in the span of a generation. The old die and things change quickly.
Reachability is one strategy for detecting leaks but it's not the only one. Checking for unfreed memory is easier to implement.
Cache protocols usually have at least some optimisation for getting the accessed bytes first, which isn't normally present in a protocol designed to exchange packets. What I mean by that is that if your CPU reads byte 27 of a 32byte cache line, the cache is going to read 32 bytes from memory but it will start at byte 27 (or more likely bytes 24..27) so that it can unblock the CPU as fast as possible. I'm not actually sure if that makes its way down to the multicore coherency protocols - if the buses are sufficiently wide maybe they don't bother - but it's seems plausible.
Not saying it is, but he just sounds like a pain in the ass, not like someone that actually had a point.
“Think of the children” is the oldest excuse in the book and is almost exclusively used to make sure your detractors/opposition look like they don’t care about children. In an age where seemingly half the GOP calls democrats “pedophiles” at the drop of a hat, this is an obvious tactic they’ll draw on.
India has one of the most robust Internet trolling, astroturfing apparatus in the world.

You will not be treated well if you criticise the government.
As I said,

> It would be like Biden fleeing America because Congress condemned him and some Trump supporters with a few guns camped out in DC. More of an abdication than a coup.

No national leader this weak and incompetent can reasonably expect to remain in power. When your people hate your decisions and protest, you have to do something to satisfy them, or they might become ungovernable. That's on you, not on them or on foreigners.

Unsurprisingly, large majorities of Ukrainians regard Yanukovich as the worst leader they've ever had.
Yikes. What atrocious billboard designs. Who in their right mind would look at that and want to find out more about the product?

If you can do a modicum of decent geographic testing and run actually decent billboard design - it can actually be a pretty high ROI. For $300k these ads got a lot of eyeballs (what they did with them is another story).
The only relevant Marxists have been the Marxist-Leninists so it is bizarre that Trots and anti-Leninists (like those you listed) get to own the label.

Whatever, it's all superfluous labels anyways.
When I was a sysadmin it was definitely harder.

Devops gives the benefit of cows instead of pets, and a ton of reusable work. So I get why it's more 'valuable' from a remuneration basis.
Ah, right. My brain farted.
Totally agree. I want to be surprised by a new UX in a software tool about as much as I want to be surprised by a new UX on my chainsaw. Nobody would put up with this in the physical world, I hate that it has become accepted in the software world.

A lot of major UX changes have resulted in immense outrage, so it's not like everyone is fine with the churn. My best guesses on why it's accepted are:

1. Most big tech companies have monopoly power and get away with not caring much about their users. Maintenence work is famously under-rewarded at many companies, incentivizing changes even if they are net negative for users.

2. People get browbeaten about security concerns. Actually useful security updates often get bundled with UX changes.
It’s rural Japan. That’s daylight robbery.
You know the saying don't roll your own crypto, well that is because almost everyone does it wrong. AES/RSA/ECC can't protect you from using it incorrectly.
I call bullshit. There will be bigger and better models. The question is not whether big companies will invest in training them (they will), but whether they’ll be made available to the public.
At least those are not intentional, just lack of development time/resources. Knowing that somewhat brings me peace of mind.

It's likely not perfectly habitable as the price heads to zero.
Bottle's empty. Label inside the cap reads "self-drinking".
Well, yes, but that explains other phenomena that lead to this. Mexico has had a lot of state blunders in the past 150 years that have led to it being behind the US, and the US got there first. Once someone gets there, they necessarily have to try to prevent someone else from doing so. Mexico could've, but they made a lot of mistakes along the way that set them behind. Lawlessness is a symptom of these blunders.
Democracies cannot function if the people are shielded from all the evil things that necessitate thinking critically. Bad information is a fact of life, not social media.

The only way you get someone to think critically is putting them in a situation where they have to. If you constantly censor and baby them, they won't make better decisions they will make worse ones.

The idea that censorship has to happen in order to protect democracy really fulfills horseshoe theory.
Guy Kawasaki: The Top Mistakes of Entrepreneurs
The current stage is now productionizing what we have; finding product fits for it, and making it cheaper. Even GPT-4 isn't necessary to push forward what is possible with AI; if you think about something dumb like "load all of my emails into a language model in real time, give me digests, automatically write responses for ones which classify with characteristics X/Y/Z, allow me to query the model to answer questions, etc": This does not really exist yet, this would be really valuable, and this does not need GPT-4.

Another good example is in the coding landscape, which feels closer to existing. Ingest all of a company's code into a model like this, then start thinking about what you can do with it. A chatbot is one thing, the most obvious thing, but there's higher order product use-cases that could be interesting (e.g. you get an error in Sentry, stack trace points Sentry to where the error happened, language model automatically PRs a fix, stuff like that).

This shit excites me WAY WAY more than GPT-5. We've unlocked like 0.002% of the value that GPT-3/llama/etc could be capable of delivering. Given the context of broad concern about cost of training, accidentally inventing an AGI, intentionally inventing an AGI; If I were the BDFL of the world, I think we've got at least a decade of latent value just to capture out of GPT-3/4 (and other models). Let's hit pause. Let's actually build on these things. Let's find a level of efficiency that is still valuable without spending $5B in a dick measuring contest [1] to suss out another 50 points on the SAT. Let's work on making edge/local inference more possible. Most of all, let's work on safety, education, and privacy.

Probably best if both sides use the same LLM. That way they can defer to the projected outcome and go back to BATNA which is where everything winds up in the 100+ year model anyway.

Yeah I agree. You shouldn't have to use 3rd party tools to administer Google Workspaces. I find myself using Advanced-GAM and BetterCloud far too often.

I'm trying to talk my boss into dumping Gmail and switching to Outlook. It's such a waste running 365 and Google.

I've specifically been using Azure as my "source of truth" because I think it's more likely we'll dump Google than we'll ever dump things like on-prem AD or Azure.

I find it fascinating that people defend censoring "misinformation" because people (supposedly) cannot discern it from "real" information.

At the moment the problem is mostly the other way around: Mastodon preview fetches function as a DDOS on your site; given the intransigence of the Masto BDFL on this problem, I would be delighted if it were inverted.
If it’s a depreciating asset there’s a good chance it’s maintained while the price is dropping. How bad could it get as long as it’s not abandoned?

The whole thing is built on a cultural premise where people don’t want to live in houses that have been lived in. It’s fickle and it’s amazing to me that it has persisted for so long.
