The Secret Life of the Sewing Machine – Remastered
OK, fell for it. Thanks :)
But we're still nowhere near that, or even near surpassing the skill of an average person at a moderately complex information task, and GPT-4 supposedly took hundreds of millions to train. It also costs a decent amount more to run inference on it vs. 3.5. It probably makes sense to prove the concept that generative AI can be used for lots of real work before scaling that up by another order of magnitude for potentially marginal improvements.

Also, just in terms of where to put your effort, if you think another direction (for example, fine-tuning the model to use digital tools, or researching how to predict confidence intervals) is going to have a better chance of success, why focus on scaling more?

No, Windows 11 is a cargo cult. It imitates the look of an OS X dock (centered icons, no window titles, large icons etc) but not the parts that makes it properly functional. Have you tried to drag and drop an app to make a shortcut there? It doesn't work. For that matter, many modern windows 11 things do not understand the very notion of drag and drop.

By the way, the windows 11 taskbar has no quicklaunch. Without quicklaunch, you can't pin documents or folders to your taskbar.

Mac OS X allows you to drag anything to the dock. App, folders, documents. In the case of folders, clicking them will even show you the last modified files in a quick preview list. The dock can't do everything a windows taskbar can do, but it has its own advantages.

Windows 11's taskbar is, on the other hand, a dock with no advantages. There's nothing it does that makes it an improvement over what Windows 7 could already do (I cite windows 7 because it was the one that added most of the features that can make the taskbar feel more like OS X's dock, but those features, like grouped windows, were purely optional). You can't even have it on the sides of the screen anymore too. It was rewritten.. just for the sake of being rewritten. Developer churn at MS with no improvement on the user's side. Why?

I, as a person who has dealt for many reasons regularly with all the major desktop OSes, hate Windows 11 the most for how arbitrary the loss of features has felt. I hate it almost as much as I hate Gnome 3, but one advantage Gnome 3 has is that... you don't have to use it, Linux has a lot of real desktops. KDE, XFCE, LXDE, customized tilers..

Leaving all of this aside, people just don't donate. They'll watch 100 hours of a YouTube channel and eagerly await new videos, and still not donate a cent. Donors are a very small fraction of the audience.

I don't know what percentage of car chases are of professional criminals, but reliance on GPS device like this to end a car chase might allow them to evade capture. GPS jammers are apparently cheap and easy to make, and someone who's stealing cars or robbing might be unconcerned with also comitting an FCC violation. If the cops shoot one one and hang back enough for the suspect to get out of sight, they could lose the person they're chasing once the jammer is enabled.

Show HN: Roleplaying GPT
Hey HN, I built Roleplaying GPT, a text adventure game powered by GPT4 with inventory, stats, and custom actions. It’s a great way to explore the fun possibilities of GPT4 while playing a roleplaying game. The entire "database" for the game is using GPT4, so I'd expect it to work as long as the conversation token length allows it. I’m looking for feedback on how to make the game even more interesting, so please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!
Got this recommended by Youtube suggest and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and the entertainment value of this documentary. Even though I have absolutely no use for a sewing machine it showcases a wonderful mechanism.
The problem is that it would take us the same amount of time to just add a form with django. Plus you have to handle failure cases, etc.

And yeah I agree this would be a great use-case, and isn't that expensive.

I'd like to do this in lots of places, and the problem is I have to convince my boss to pay for something that otherwise would have been free.

The conversation would be "We have to add these fields to our model, and we either tell django to add a form for them, which will have 0 ongoing cost and no reliance on a third party,

or we send the resume to openai, pay for them to process it, make some mechanism to sanity check what GPT is responding with, alert us if there's issues, and then put it into that model, and pay 5 cents per resume."

> 1-3 hours of a fully loaded engineers salary per year.

That's assuming 0 time to implement, and because of our framework it would take more hours to implement the openai solution (that's also more like 12 hours where we are).

> $500 per 10k.

I can't stress this enough - the alternative is 0$ per 10k. My boss wants to know why we would pay any money for a less reliable solution (GPT serialization is not nearly as reliable as a standard django form).

I think within the next few years we'll be able to run the model locally and throw dozens of tasks just like this at the LLM, just not yet.
Good things about classic barcodes is that their numbers can be used in online searches to identify specific products, and they are short enough to be typed by cashiers, in case the bars can't be scanned.

The way I see the new 2D ones, they are really unique per item encoded URLs that will identify the person who buys the product through card account number cross referencing (like it's done already). In an incresing survellance economy, I see a market for:

1. Apps that will decipher future 2D codes and spill out all their secrets

2. Anonymizing payment solutions through customer data obfuscation, like analog to VPN for credit cards

OpenAI has likely run into a wall (or is about to) for model size given it's funding amount/structure[1] - unlike its competition who actually own data centers and have lower marginsl costs. It's just like when peak-iPad Apple claimed that a "post-PC" age was upon us.

I gave it a picture of a bottle, which it did a fairly good job of identifying (although it misread some of the text, mistaking a 1 for a 4).

Then I asked it what are the likely ingredients of the product. It still hadn't replied after 2274s so I gave up on it.
What I mean by "not picking winners" is that Google admits they can't foresee, for example, the acquisition of YouTube turning into a first-tier social network. Just like they could not foresee Orkut and G+ not becoming successful social networks.

> This may come as a shock, but _the world_ sees America as the greatest threat to global peace, stability and democracy.

That goes very much against the fact that the US has the highest number of foreign-born residents aka immigrants in the world[0]. And not by just some negligible number, it is 47mil against 15mil for the next top entry (Germany). Every fifth immigrant in the entire world lives in the US.

How do you reconcile "the world sees America as the greatest threat to global peace, stability, and democracy" with those numbers? The only explanation I can foresee is a claim that somehow people are more interested in moving to those types of countries. But that doesn't sound convincing at all to me.

You have made a disgustingly political statement - given the wide variety of reactions people have to the word communist.

In Homage to Catalonia, Eric (George Orwell) writes about how the Communists supported Franco: “The general swing to the Right [occurred] when the USSR began to supply arms to the [fascist] Government and power began to pass from the Anarchists to the Communists.” (He was fighting with the Anarchists, and the Communists were another separate group). He wrote that the Russian terms were ‘prevent revolution or you [the Fascists] get no arms’.

You could say he fought against Franco and Fascism. You might say he was fighting for the individual freedom of working class people - he was fighting with 100% volunteers as equals, so top-down control hardly existed. “the bullying and abuse that go on in a normal army would never have been tolerated for a moment”, “you often had to argue for 5 minutes before you could get an order obeyed, [which] appalled and infuriated me. I had British Army ideas”. “As a militiaman one was a soldier against Franco, but one was also a pawn in an enourmous struggle that was being fought between two political theories”.

Personally I identify with his fight against authoritarianism, and I don’t identify with the left, nor the right. In New Zealand [I suspect] we have a bit more political nuance because we don’t have a two party system.

I don't understand why size is an issue in the way that is being claimed here.

Intelligence isn't like processor speed. If I have a model that has (excuse the attempt at a comparison) 200 IQ, why would it matter that it runs more slowly than a human?

I don't think that, for example, Feynman at half speed would have had substantially fewer insights.
> So ask it to review the result for issues and then send it to rework.

I did, and it made the same mistake just in a slightly different way.
I've seen it do this before with other problems where it just can't understand what it's mistake was.

Also because the image would have built correctly and have works, it wouldn't even know there's a problem with the autogpt/langchain setups people have been doing.

The scary part to me is most newbies wouldn't be able to recognize the problem - adding a file embeds it into the image layer, even if you remove the file later in the build process.
>too different to be useful for most people

So is what he's talking about. You just don't realize it until you try to implement it.

Some things are the way they are for arbitrary reasons. Most things timekeeping have a pretty good reason for how they came to be.

But then again I argue the same thing for US system of measurements vs metric, as well.
> Its editorial independence is protected in law in the Broadcasting Act.

In other words, "We're independent because we are supposed to be!". How much is that assertion worth? Who gets to police them if they don't live up to it?

It's not as if it's necessary to go threatening the editor to get a compliant press. Not when you appoint the leadership.

Nobody who doesn't already agree and take completely for granted that CBC is independent, will get within a mile of making decisions for it. That's how it is for other government broadcasters as well - as well as corporate ones, for that matter.
Why are government funded media orgs so intensely trying to hide that fact?
It's not a bullet. It's a nerf dart and only flies about 35 feet. If you are close enough to get hit by one of these, you're already in a fucking dangerous situation and should probably not just drive home like nothing happened. Also if they wanted to track you, they already can, and this really doesn't help them in any particular way. Hidden GPS devices have been around for years now.

What I liked about postgres (even as long time ago as 5-10 years ago) was that it tried to do things in an explainable and standards compliant way even if it mostly did not beat MySQL on latency. This never bothered me because my view had been to scale horizontally when needed and a db that led itself to better control plane development was more important than aggregate single node performance. Just my 2c.
Have you ever used a Samsung Galaxy device in comparison? I’m being upsold on their bloatware left and right and third party services. I hate Samsung and Android now with a passion because they don’t respect my settings and often install random system settings that contradict my choices.

Ag -> Industrial -> Information transitions were all supported by a mix of massive expansion in population, mass migration of populations, and globalization of economies

information -> automation / AI transition does not seem to have these 3 things in the same way. Globalism is slowing or reversing into protectionism. Migration is still high but seemingly for different reasons (geopolitical) as people displaced for war, crime, or climate and critical for this discussion population growth as SLOWED way down, and it expected to reverse about 2040.

This means people looking at the historical models for how these tech disruptions played out are very flawed in their "everything will be just fine because Farmers became factory workers, and factory workers became developers"

Current economic models may not play out like they did in the past. History may rhyme, but it does not actually repeat.

Also lets not forget the terrible way society in general handled these previous transitions that resulted is massive amounts of suffering for the people displaced. "Learn to AI" can not become the mantra of the day like "Learn to Code" did....

My prediction is we will see a MASSIVE increase in wealth gaps, and extreme decrease in standard of living in most of the industrial world (we are already seeing this in a limited way) leading to more and more political instability
I feel this article 100%.

Too many people think that remote work means "working from home" or that co-working means "working from WeWork". There are tons of different variations that let you get out and be around other people while working remote. I have long wanted to start a small fun workspace with space for 5 or so people that's really just a place for us all to do work together without being in a traditional office or our houses. A space we can define ourselves (or I define and invite others) that is not my house and also not a stuffy office.

IMHO - This is the future of work.
Generally happy. My work gives me a lot of free time to pursue my passions. Physical health is great because of that. Finances are in good order, family and friends are supportive, work is mostly good but could always be better.

I think finding a partner that is okay with my nerdy, quirky, but also active and knowledge seeking, environmental lifestyle would be great. I tend to be picky because of previous partners that deteriorated my mental health and became highly dependent on me, and would rather find happiness on my own and hope to find a partner that is already happy on their own as well. Which is hard to find but I'm not in any rush :)

Okay but insert Linux USB drive; boot; install; system works. That's literally been my experience and for many others.

A Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) is completely reasonable in my opinion for building your own machine and it's well known that Nvidia and Linux don't play nice. Recently built a new system and went with AMD for that reason. Considered Intel but they're a little new to GPUs and were a little too mid range for what I wanted.

Frankly it sounds more like you had issue with the Nvidia card than the rest of your components.

Also have to consider are you trying to use completely free open source software or are you okay with proprietary blobs and drivers.

For example Ubtuntu makes it easy for end user to activate those proprietary software blobs on installation.
