QR code are still hard to read correctly for reader if not the good size (ie huge) and contrast.

We will be able to add more bytes of data inside, but it stays small. Like the size of a medium/long url.

So, what we will get in the end is the same barcode value plus an url for the product...

Surprisingly, we find that GPT-4 as an evaluator cannot distinguish between clearly wrong GPT-4 completions and GPT-4 + ChemCrow performance. There is a significant risk of misuse of tools like ChemCrow and we discuss their potential harms.

I think this inability to distinguish what is clearly wrong will turn out to be the Achilles heel of LLM's and will limit usage to non-critical "fun"/"entertainment" type use cases.
I think you're waving at a sign saying "some things are worth war" and maybe that's true but for most things that's "support for war".

In this case there's a more important point, though, that a broad understanding that war will not be allowed to change the status quo will decrease the number of wars. Building and maintaining that understanding has the expense (sometimes) of making individual wars longer, but when it is (at worst) unclear which of those effects dominates it is unreasonable to label picking one side of that trade as unequivocal "support for war".
I’m sure they are but will that sentiment persist when threatened with extinction/forced breeding programs.

I think people said the same thing about NNs in general before we hit a scale where they started performing magic.

There could be exponential or quadratic scaling laws with any of these black boxes that makes one approach suddenly extremely viable or even dominant.
Just for reference I paid $80 in electricity to drive my EV 4000 miles. It's damn cheap if you charge at home.
These specific questions are very hard for an AI to answer. Just like humans suck at calculating numbers, AIs aren't good at sparse self-questioning.

They're extremely good at other tasks, like taking very difficult tests that require a lot of knowledge storage.

It's pretty obvious they're on the right path for what they're trying to achieve.
> In hindsight Nazism is an almost cartoon like singular epitome

Not that singular, even in its time, which is why we usually call the more general thing that it is an example of by the name of its Italian contemporary and ally.
Very nice. For those interested, you can get similar information using SourceGraph and LSIF in a standardized, language agnostic form: https://lsif.dev/. It still generally requires build information for each project/language, unfortunately.
Have people given up on calling Mastodon posts, “toots”?

Or are posts a different thing?
Count von Count for me! ah ah ha ha!
It's not the syllable count that matters, it's that anytime you have words with common endings, or words with unnecessarily added endings (like we're doing here), the root words need to rhyme as well as the endings.

Example: -er words. You can rhyme "teacher" with "reacher", but not with "plumber", even though all three have the same endings, technically.

Why that is, I do not know.
The former is banned.
"The third word of this sentence is "the," and its third letter is "e." - GPT-4
A lot of consumer electronics, like phones and laptops, are powered via USB-C these days. It is capable of supplying a wide range of voltages, and the device will negotiate a voltage with the charger. This requires a PD controller on both sides - which is configured via firmware. Imagine your device was designed to charge at 9V, but custom firmware makes it request 48V instead.

Display panels these days use firmware to drive the panel itself. Instead of a pixel simply being on or off, it is driven with a voltage waveform which specifies how long which voltage should be applied and in what order. This allows things like "overdrive" to reach a faster response time. I would not be surprised if a corrupt waveform would cause physical damage, as the pixel would be driven way beyond its design specifications.

An inkjet printer could have the print head move all the way to one side and keep driving the motor. If the motor driver does not have proper temperature protection, it could result in the printer catching fire. A laser printer could have the firmware turn on the fuser's heating element until it catches fire.
You have a weird definition of marketing.

That video is purely for consumption by a possible consumer; you can't get any more marketing than that!

I think you missed what I said. That isn't some footage that they pulled from some random test drive. They picked a route and drove it over and over until they had enough footage to splice together to appear as a successful run. The primary feed is also not filmed from a dash cam.
This seems to be a growing problem across the economy. Companies weren't willing to train for so long that now not only is there no one to hire who knows how to do jobs, there's no one left to train people to do them.

> linking only to have a link to something

I used to link to reduce redundancy in what I had to write. Now, I tend to duplicate large parts of documentation to remove links, because I found that people actively avoid links. I'm guessing this aversion is related to a unconscious awareness of the "doorway effect", which exist even in virtual environments, and I assume, to some degree, on web pages:

> The doorway effect is a known psychological event where a person's short-term memory declines when passing through a doorway moving from one location to another when it would not if they had remained in the same place.

I find this difficult to accept... none of your coworkers ever built their own PC? Set up their own home network?
Maybe they're now training teams of AIs to work together? This way the hardware limitations are less of a barrier in terms of maximum memory per AI. They can run in parallel in separate hardware and communicate to reach higher goals.

"as people start to realize how boring and unoriginal everything they've ever thought and done is"

Most people actually like stability and no surprises, when doing their habits, like drinking coffee for example. It should not suddenly turn to wine, that would freak them out.

And books and movies should follow a familiar pattern, or it will be perceived as disturbing. Slight variations are welcome, but nothing too drastic. So I doubt people will be truly shocked.
This was my only real gripe with it. I love a good monologue, but I actually found myself fast-forwarding through the one halfway through (where they talk about death). It honestly felt like they just kept going around in circles.

So yeah I definitely get it, and I wish the writer would have edited himself a bit more.
EKS is a special level of IAM pain, and my belief is they do everything possible to make it hard to use so people don't get all excited about that kind of cloud agnostic technology
You're ignoring the fact that Tesla does "waste their time on crap like that." And the robot isn't real. Watch the video I linked if you are actually honest with yourself.

If anything we will have more work because we will have more people capable of churning it out at a predictable rate.
Yes, I’d be surprised if it outsells the electric F150. That being said, I would obviously rather have the cybertruck. Time will tell if it was a good business decision or not for Tesla. I think they’ll do alright though, and nothing stops them from bringing out a more traditional truck later as well.
From TFA, there is an article from 1993 that indicates Montañez invented Flamin' Hot Popcorn, which fits the timeline(s) of those involved more closely. Given that that article is from just a single year after the date in which Montañez claims the story to have occurred, and the timeline for Flamin' Hot Cheetos isn't even close to matching up, it seems like confusing Cheetos with popcorn is the most likely mistake in the popular story.
Much of the world and even individual economies are becoming "winner take all" due to variations on the network effect: everyone goes there because everyone else goes there.

China became the world's factory by having lots of manufacturing expertise in one spot such that few others could compete. The US lacks certain kinds of tooling, parts, and factory expertise, jacking up costs above China's. (The Chinese gov't initially subsidized their factories.)

The "winners" are convinced they are geniuses, when in fact they were just slightly ahead of the pack or slightly luckier and surfed on the network effect snowball.
The reason that body panels are dentable is that denting helps absorb impact energy, and replacing a body panel or two is cheaper than totaling the entire car due to a dented frame creating a risk of structural failure. IOW, it's a feature, not a bug.

It's also safer for the other party in an accident, since the vehicle(s) will absorb crash energy that would otherwise be transferred to the occupants/pedestrian/cyclist. Given Tesla's abysmal self-driving record (literally, more self-driving accidents, injuries, and/or fatalities than the entire rest of the global automotive industry combined), that's a fundamental consideration.

Similarly, most cars have impact-resistant glass, but not shatterproof glass, for safety reasons. There are plenty of times when you want the glass to break.
Parent didn't say electrons move slowly. Parent said electron flow is slow which is true. The article tries to say that in that average there are fast-moving parts and slow-moving parts. Fine.
I still regularly visit an old IRC server, which is largely abandoned except by a few friends, and sometimes I wonder, what if it's the best way to have secure communication in 2023, it's an outdated protocol most people including the police probably forgot even exists, i.e. won't look there at all :) Everyone is mostly paying attention to modern shiny messengers
Finland finally took a stand, how can it not be relevant? Russia gaining a huge NATO border. Finland and Sweden has always coordinated their defense. Sweden has top notch Air Force and great submarines in the Baltic Sea. Finland has thousands of modern artillery pieces. Russia can't lean on Finland anymore. Finland didn't want to join NATO for fear of provoking the "Bear".

If this is not a ripple in northern geopolitics, I don't know what is. I'll give you that it currently isn't as important if Sweden joins or not. Erdogan made the impossible possible - having Finland join before Sweden.

>Maybe they are just unable to do inference in a cost-efficient manner and at an acceptable speed on anything bigger than GPT-4?

Yes, that's the whole thing. As others have pointed out, GPT-4 seems like an optimum point that balances cost, ROI, etc... it won't improve much just by throwing more data at it.
We are nowhere near being AWS' top customer, and have had absolutely incredible service from them.

Not only that, but we were proactively contacted by an AWS account team before we had even spent our first $100, and they spent many days providing guidance and support to our team before we even breached $1,000/month.

It may not be the norm, but my experience with Azure has been exactly the opposite. After having an (admittedly small) Azure presence for 4 years now, I'm going through the "front door" of their sales site to try to get an account person from them. So far, I recommend AWS over anyone else 100 times out of 100, 10 days a week.
I might know of what you're referring to, but I had thought it was more along the lines of rejecting Motown's formula for hits. I could totally be wrong though.

Your analogy is fine for a classical treatment of electricity. At some quantum level I assume it's also wrong for water, but that's irrelevant.
I don't have a crystal ball so I can't tell how well they will pivot, but Sundar's answer here is unconvincing at best. There will be a big uphill battle to inject ads in whatever new search engine emerges from all those changes and it's not clear at the moment if monetization will really be able to remain on the same scale.

Their market is getting and will continue to be disrupted and their revenue is heavily tied to ads so it's really a fair answer as Microsoft can afford to lose money on Bing for a long time using their other revenue stream, while Google gets progressively weaker.

Just think of the coverage already. My parents know what ChatGPT is yet have no clue what Bard is. Microsoft advertises "Bing has ChatGPT" so they move there.

Should be an interesting next few years.
So accept the people with means?

That's what they did already to entrench racism.
Gravity is the driving force behing the flow of water in this example, and a static electromagnetic field (in a DC circuit at least) is the driving force behind the flow of electrons. The water can do work on physical object (waterwheels, etc), and the electrons can do work on electrical loads (lightbulbs, etc.).

However the static electromagnetic field in the DC circuit propagates through the material at near light-speed once the battery switch is thrown, which is a bit different. I suppose if you could throw a switch and turn gravity on or off it would be a closer analogy, i.e. the idea would be to fill the (sealed) maze with water in a zero-g environment (it would fill everywhere equally, comparable to the electons in the conductor with the power off), then turn on the gravity (or the pressure differential for the pipe version) and see what happened.
This is a good point. I believe H1B as it exists today is abusive.
Alt News is much more similar to Rappler, a Filipino news website and fact checker whose founder (Maria Ressa) was awarded the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize after she was arrested and convicted by the Filipino ruling government for "cyberlibel" in retaliation for her journalism.

Please do something new than the other authoritarian shills. It’s the same playbook.

Why do you assume that everyone outside of India is incapable of understanding things on their own and need help from Indian friend? Why do you patronise? Isn’t that racist? Isn’t the that some kind of twisted supremest thinking?

The whole "never needs to be changed" thing isn't really useful, though.

I have updated the firmware on my mouse, webcam, docking station, SSD - even a light bulb! We are rapidly reaching a point where the firmware on all but the most trivial devices can be updated, and often has to be in order to fix bugs.
The firmware is what stops you frying components. A good example is that MacOS has software which prevents the speakers from being over driven resulting in physical damage. There are other problematic things like overwriting flash memory which might result in the device not functioning properly.

Most of the time it would be extremely difficult to work out if the user caused the damage or if there was a bug or manufacturing fault. So they just give you a replacement anyway. It would be possible to create extra checks and void flags to try to detect this but that's just extra cost to the product for a feature almost no one cares about.
I don't recall the Chinchilla paper disputing my point. They establish "training-compute optimal" scaling laws, but none of their findings suggest that loss hits any kind of asymptote.
This story appears almost annually in the NYTimes I feel. Or at least it appears on HN annually, cited from some large media. I wonder why by this point I’d think everyone has heard the standard rebuttals/clarifications.
Compared to the difference in regulations between France and Germany, _let alone_ the difference between France and Nigeria, US states have very little to differentiate them.
Isn’t spending a significant portion of resources doing customer-specific work pretty much the opposite of the point? That sounds just like sysadmin work for hire, which is obviously valuable, but is essentially the key distinguishing factor from traditional server computing and cloud computing.

Of course at the edges there is always going to be overlap, since important customers will have feature requests and complaints that the cloud providers will learn from.

> Take your pick from a multitude of cold-season vegetables – beets, carrots, lettuce and other salad leaves, onions, spinach, chard, radishes and turnips – and sow knowing that you’ll be picking and plucking within weeks.

Lettuce is one of those vegetables, that once it gets contaminated with bacteria, you are kind of screwed. You can really wash it off and lettuce is usually eaten raw. Having it grown in a pile of manure may make it harder to keep from being contaminated.
Any network of users that is large will leak, whether encrypted or not.

People are social, and when push comes to shove they're more than willing to throw someone else under the bus.

The question is, why hasn't anyone designed a standard cell-like structure for an encrypted communication app? Cell-based structures have been known for a long time.

How do you verify + vouch for a new user in a way that's secure yet anonymous?

How do you handle anonymous + secure + directed communication?
That's an almost impossible task.

> > How is separating money from government a valid point? Money is inextricably bound up with fundamental governmental issues including a monopoly over violence and the ability to levy taxes.

Eh... Yes, indeed they did. Only, not in the way it appears you thought they did: Look up the word “inextricably”. Yup, money can't be separated from government – if it could be, whoever now ran money in stead of the old government would in effect be the new government.

Because although AI systems are currently still "hallucinating" incorrect facts in their answers, they are already delivering remarkable results in tasks such as translation, classification, creative writing and generating code.

The hallucination problem is really a big deal that is going to limit AI from dominating any field that requires precision and dependable results.
However, hallucinations are perfect for areas which do not require such, like creative tasks, advertising etc.

Let me restate my point. A persons reasons for supporting the Nazis in 1933 may be quite different from the reasons you think people are pro-Nazi in 2023. So such comparisons don't add very much to the discourse.
