Believe me I know, I had to go through the exact same situation. However, I also considered what terrifying repercussions that'd have for how much control any single company can have over my life.

I understand why people don't want to, it took me a good few years between wanting to move onto Linux and actually doing so, but in the end I'm glad for it. If your priorities are different thats fair enough, but I'm never going back.

It's the same intuition that tells me something's wrong when I read things that end up being conspiracy theories or pseudoscience.

I trust it, because for me, it seems to have a track record of being correct in the end.

Well everyone has the right to their own opinions, and I might be completely wrong.

And I have every right to be a heretic, and not subscribe to things I think might be orthodoxies. That might be arising from bandwagon effects and social conformity. Which is what I suspect when it comes to climate change doomsaying.

And that's strictly my own opinion only, which can be simply disregarded by other people. But it still adds to the discussion. And such things can be proven wrong too, which might strengthen the case for catastrophic climate change actually happening?
ChatGPT vs. Bing Chat: Which AI chatbot should you use?

Ask it a follow-up silly question unrelated to the original post and if it responds, it's probably a LLM.
> My skills continue to improve, but ChatGPT’s are improving faster. It’s a matter of time.

Nah, I don't think there's any way that LLMs can totally circumvent the problems of pervasive hallucination and low-quality output. There's a fundamental divide between the things LLMs would have to do to replace us (think critically, problem-solve) and the things they're designed to do (produce "realistic" text based on the data they were trained on). Sure, they can engage in a basic level of critical thinking and problem-solving, but I'd expect to see diminishing returns long before they can actually compete with humans. After all, we're not training them to produce smarter or more correct answers—just more verisimilitudinous ones. The local maximum is bland and uninsightful yet very plausibly human writing.

I'll worry when we come up with an architecture & training scheme that directly optimizes for problem-solving.
Our landing page at checksum.ai has a video in the hero section of test. We added some graphics (e.g. the green checkmark), but the steps executed are real tests that we generated.

But the tl;dr is
1. We learn how to use your app based on real sessions (we remove sensitive information on the client side)
2. We train a model on this data
3. We connect this model to a browser and generate Playwright or Cypress tests

The end result is code written and Playwright or Cypress. You can edit and run the tests regularly

I appreciate the offer, but this level of misunderstanding makes me believe I wouldn't get a lot of value out of you as a teacher.

My earnest advice to you is sometimes slow down and really think about what other people are saying.
You're missing the point entirely.

You said:

> If the developers worked on this years revenue, they should go into COGS,

That's no longer legal.
I would venture a guess the logic in some of these cases has a healthy does of practical wisdom baked in. On sailing vessels they are/were? chaotic, violent, noisy, and the crew perhaps wasn't the most experienced/educated(?) so keeping things simple with fixed names was perhaps the optimal safety solution in that environment. In the medical profession it's about the Hippocratic Oath (I am not a doctor), an operating room is more controlled, and everyone (is usually) well trained, so maybe in that environment it makes more sense to make a rule that the perspective should always be the patients? Thinking out loud here more than anything...
Petrol boils off too quickly to be a massive problem, it's vapour and gone before anything happens.

Brake fluid has a high boiling point, a low flash point, and it's sticky. Burst a brake pipe and spray that onto a hot exhaust and you've got a great source of fire.

I know from personal experience that if you can get the exhaust manifold hot enough (like, dull red) and you pop a coolant line, the water will boil into steam leaving the glycol antifreeze which will burn with an acrid greenish flame.
There’s a difference though between you doing internal quarterly reviews and being held to account by Wall Street analysts and hedge funds looking for perceived weakness.
That's a great example because 90% of my driving is done by FSD beta. Clearly not vaporware.

hi HN! proud to present my take on the Agents Mania of April 2023. Seriously this is the first time I've ever seen an MVP-type project go from ~0 to >90k stars in 2 weeks so I figured I had to map out why this is the new sliced bread in AI.

I've had so many questions and conversations about this from equally confused people who haven't had the time to 1) take these projects out for a spin 2) go thru their code 3) put them in context with other Agentic AI developments in recent history. so this post is my attempt to do that.

I wrote this all in a 6hr livestream last night (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X2_HpAmxf8). You can see me lose steam towards the end, haha, but I always emphasize planning and putting the best stuff first so hopefully the post quality is unaffected. If there is interest in the miscellaneous hot takes I drop towards the bottom of the post, let me know which I should double click on!
> It's used, but for the old ones with horses.

This was new for me.

The Spanish words carro, carreta, coche, carretilla, carrito all mean "something that has wheels on it", but the meaning keeps changing between car, horse drawn carriage, baby stroller, shopping cart, horse drawn cart or toy car between countries.

Fortunately it's easy to figure out from context and doesn't have possible misunderstandings as the Spanish word for straw.

The World Today, Foretold by Nixon (2011)
There is nuance to be had when it comes to rice. There is no ONE rice, there are many varieties of Rice and people and cultures are very specific about 'their' rice. Right at the time of planting you are deciding which market you are targeting.

The consumption pattern of Ponni rice is very different from Basmati, and these are differences in Indian subcontinent, we are not even talking about South East Asia, China or Japan.

Rice is a complex market and by its nature fragmented. Also, it is very hard crop to harvest given that you have to flood the field twice. If Ukraine was rice bowl of the world, we would already have large scale famine kicked in right now.

The wheat shortages will come and will become apparent by the end of this year or early next.

I have a connection to both American and Dutch cultures and the the feeling is very different. People have tried to describe it in words but it’s a feeling that is contextually inferred and hard to completely describe in words without being reductionist. Dutch people on this thread are correct in pushing back. This is what ChatGPT says — which is more or less on on the right track:

“No, "chill" and "gezellig" are not the same.

"Chill" is an English term used to describe a relaxed and easy-going atmosphere or situation. It can refer to a person's demeanor, a social setting, or an activity that is low-key and stress-free.

"Gezellig" is a Dutch term that is difficult to translate directly to English, but it generally refers to a cozy and convivial atmosphere or feeling of togetherness. It can refer to a physical space, a social gathering, or a mood. It is often associated with warmth, comfort, and hospitality, and is an important aspect of Dutch culture.”

We do that all the time. If I were to build a power generator, it might take several years. During that time, the salaries of people directly building the project are capitalized. Even when the project is put in service and earning revenue, I still migh capitalize the wages for improvements versus repairs. That’s why what you charge on the time sheets matter, if it’s classified as an operational expense vs a capital expense.

It is possible that the idea of highlighting this connection was emphasized for marketing purposes in order to generate interest and excitement around the development of these models.

When I first learned about diffusion models, I immediately drew a connection to denoise auto encoders, as both attempt to recover underlying information from noisy data.

However, the differences between the two models are not discussed in articles about diffusion models. From my perspective, it appears that denoise auto encoders may have played a role in inspiring the development of diffusion models.
It’s a noun meaning anger or wrath. Usually it’s specific not just to triggering anger the emotion, but an angry response. So attracting Meta’s ire means attracting an angry response from meta - like the legal response users of LLaMA have triggered.

Yeah, imagine if Python had a 'declare these two things are equal' operator and let you just randomly summon up computations declaratively, but with all of the python standard library and data structures. That would be more approachable than Prolog imo.

We got a new car. It comes with a touch screen instead of physical controls. We really wanted to avoid the screen, but ended up settling on the least offensive / most likely usable for us car vehicle. There was nothing out there in new car land that we liked.

It is no longer safe doing simple things such as turning on/off recirculation.

We like fresher air, so generally want recirculation off. However, it is not uncommon to see a truck in front of us suddenly belch a lot of smoke.

In the old car, this was no problem. Push the recirc button and keep the bad stuff from getting into the car.

In the new car, that would require hitting the correct button near the bottom of the screen to cause it to bring up the environmental controls, and then hitting the right button near the now top of the screen to toggle the recirc. Totally unsafe when in traffic.

Add to that the settings that don't stay set every time you turn off the car, requiring manually going through and setting things up - it's not only unsafe but horrible.
The IRS isn't doing this. Congress did it, because it's an accounting trick that lets them say something costs less than it actually does, because all of Congress' budgeting is on decade-long horizons, and they factor in theoretical wage/revenue/profit growth, so them front-loading the same tax receipts allows them to very easily lie about the actual cost of programs. They can pull 80% of the tax receipts from made up figures a decade from now into their government revenue calculations.
I'm not so sure.

Because those alternatives exist, people who care about that kind of sourcing will select themselves out of the audience of traditional journalism. That will leave that audience with less demand for such rigor.

(At least that's an alternative story you can spin. So we can't say a priori whether your narrative or mine would prevail, at least not without leaving our armchairs.)

It's not even true that most cattle are finished on grain. Feed lots utilize hay and silage as often as grain.
The fuck are you basing this on.
GNU Emacs has complex code to deal with it. Some "ls" programs support a "-dired" option, some not. If this option is not supported, then Dired may fail to parse some unusual filenames. Then there is an 'ls' emulation in Emacs Lisp, which by default is not used on UNIX, but on Windows...

There is a huge machinery with lots of complexity to deal with listing directories, either with ls, a GNU provided ls, or by providing a complex emulation of ls.
Thanks! The model learns a lot from unsupervised (as well as supervised) audio, so technically low-quality and high-quality audio are both just as likely to the model as music, background sounds or really anything else including echos or bad microphones :) will be interesting to learn how to control for these things, either through prompting or other switches during training/inference
Prolog is not a DSL.

Or I guess you can see it as a DSL where the "Domain" is the entire set of programs computable by a Universal Turing Machine. It's a DSL for writing programs that manipulate programs that manipulate programs.

But, not really. It's just not a DSL.

You can't just toil away blindly until suddenly a complex game pops out. You need to start with the small game and add layers.
This is a really weird claim to me. It can’t be about the MRI itself, it must be about the surrounding politics or legal environment.

How can it ever be bad to have more objective data? Having a test result to ignore is still strictly better than not testing at all. You still have the option to ignore or discount the test results if you want to. If you’re forced to do otherwise that’s entirely a human problem, not a technological one.
In Germany it's just direction "a" (kilometrage increasing) and direction "b" (kilometrage decreasing), though I think that usage isn't quite as prominent as Up/Down is in the UK and UK-influenced countries. In Romania AFAIK they're calling them direction "X" and direction "Y" instead.
I just asked a stability employee and they said the the current models ran into an overfitting issue probably due to some duplicated data somewhere in their dataset, which consists of 1.5T tokens. The 800B tokens is the number of tokens they've been trained on so far. The plan is to keep going and train on the rest of the data once the issue is resolved.
>How would they sell at all?

They wouldn't unless the product was needed and worth it enough to stand on its own via word of mouth and reputation. That's the main benefit.

> A self-driving car requiring a driver is not that "self-driving".

That seems more like a philosophical issue than engineering at that point. All technology requires some amount of monitoring, maintenance and troubleshooting. You don't need to solve every possible weird event happening for automation to be useful.

The main two use cases as I understand are:

* A qualified driver sits in the car, just doesn't want to drive. They can be asked to assume control any time it's needed.

* The vehicle forms part of some sort of large fleet, and can be managed centrally.

You'll always want some amount of central control for a fleet. What if the car breaks down? What if somebody else crashes into it? What if somebody tries to steal it?
You can apply the same logic and expand your take to the point where almost everything non essential is included.

I don’t think it’s useful to look at the world that way. And I say that as someone who absolutely despise marketing and advertising.

>The people that could be theoretically replaced by AI text could already have been replaced by Fiverr contractors or Mechanical Turk workers, but by and large we don't see it.

Tons of writers and graphic designers and such are already replaced by Fiverr contractors and other similar cheapo gig workers.

>Nobody has used Fiverr to replace the NYT editorial staff with a paper that's just as successful.

That would be like the last holdout. A good 90% of websites don't have such quality consraints or reservations.

It's like someone say "AI will replace graphic designers" and someone replying that David Carson wont have a problem. Duh, but most jobs don't go to the handful of David Carson's of the trade (or even anybody 1/100th as famous)...
I'm doing something similar but in a less fancy way: I've got a Hydra server (the NixOS CI thing) set up on a potato-grade SBC with a more powerful desktop computer acting as a builder. The desktop runs a small Go program that I've written that shuts it down after ten minutes of inactivity. Wake-on-unicast for some reason always caused the desktop to start up after just a few seconds of being shut down, so I'm using magic packets. (I'm not sure what's causing this. I suspect Tailscale but I haven't really investigated it.) Hydra connects via SSH so I've added a Match block to the potato's SSH config that sends the WoL packet first:

Match host desktop.local exec /bla/bla/send-wol

I'm also doing full shutdowns instead of sleeping. The difference is only about ten seconds for a CI job. If the power draw during sleep turns out to be negligible, I might switch to that at some point but first, there are bigger bottlenecks to kill (like Hydra still running expensive evaluations on the potato).
I see ChatGPT mostly as another invention in terms of bringing words to people after texting, internet, newspapers, printing press, books and writing itself.

It's funny that each time people were criticizing each new such technology that it's so easy that people will produce so much garbage content that humanity will drown in it.
Left and Right didn't have their modern meaning back then. In Old English riht meant straight, as in direct or not bent. It later assumed the meaning of correct as in right and wrong. Lyft meant weak. Their reference to handedness seems to have been incidental. It seems odd to us to talk about the 'straight' and 'weak' hand, but to them it made sense, but maybe not to talk about the 'straight' or 'weak' sides of a boat.

The concept of left and right hands was not very commonly used historically. It wasn't important to most people. During the English Civil War many recruits didn't know which hand or foot was left or right. During marching training instructors used to stick some hay in one boot and straw in the other for each recruit and call out "Hay, Straw, Hay, Straw".
It's a good point. More hyperscale excesses would be redressed if we calculated on the greater of damages or profits.

My understanding of the current model is that if {profit} - {legal fees} > {calculated damages settlement}, there's zero incentive not to break the law.
