The important thing to understand is that at the level of chip manufacturing, you’re doing advanced materials science. These aren’t just abstract logic gates and structures built out of them, such as SRAMs. At the manufacturing level, the logic gates are nano-scale 3D structures made of different materials and in different shapes. For example, at this scale, the shape of the transistor gates has a big effect on performance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_field-effect_transistor. That materials science is highly guarded secret sauce in companies like TSMC. NVIDIA and Apple will tell TSMC what logic gates go where (or often at an even higher level—specifying certain SRAM blocks going here or there). But TSMC has to actually build the nano-scale material structures that comprise those logic gates.

The ASML machines perform the actual photolithography. They expose the die mask to the photoresist coated silicon wafer. Using that technique, you can built up complex 3D materials incorporating different layers and shapes. But the ASML machine doesn’t know how to make a transistor. It’s kind of like a 3D printer in that way.
If I had to guess, it might have to do with the Mac standard of “save on close window” which is a vestige of an old apple desktop metaphor where every window represents a file somewhere.

So you end up with a lot of duplicates from either trying to edit a read only document in some apps (which spawns an editable copy) or accidentally hitting duplicate (generate a copy of the current file in the same directory) which is the mac equivalent of “Save As”. It’s on you the user to move the new file where you want it.
You have no idea why a software system with very few physical constraints and which can iterate incredibly fast might improve faster than an algorithm that has to drive a physical vehicle through a world full of edge cases?

What life goals have you given up over the years and why?

When I was a young child I wanted to be a truck driver because I spoke to them on the CB all day that was my internet and had a lot of fun. It sounded like a cool career to me at the time but then I found out what their lives were really like. Then when I was a teen I wanted to be a cop. I volunteered thousands of hours to the local PD. Then LAPD said one line that made me think long and hard about it. "We have new positions opening every day" and I knew I would have to start with them unless I could get the local PD to sponsor me and I knew what that phrase really meant, so I fell back on tech which was just a fun hobby for me.

I'm glad I gave up on those things.

[Edit] Oh yeah, and when I was a child I wanted to be a Jedi. It wasn't until the prequels much later in life that I found out I was missing the midichlorian's.

I wish this were true. It’s not. Tracking can be seen as “legitimate interest” because the money earned from that is needed to run the service.

If we could turn tracking I to a banned way to earn money from free visitors, I think we’d all be better off. This is not how gdpr works today.
Because the working part of an organisation such as the one you describe tries to continually optimize away these restrictions. NPM (et al) is a good way to obfuscate the fact you're pulling unknown code to get shit done and processes haven't caught up yet.

I'm not saying this is good, but the reality with these company-internal restrictions is, that the most productive people find ways around them and are rewarded for it.

I disagree. I'm a regular reader of Guardian Online; that organ has multiple institutional biases. Stories get spiked if they don't align with that bias. Reporters are forced out if they fail to toe the line.

It's not just The Guardian; all commercial news sources share this property.

That‘s irrelevant, too, because nothing indicates that the actual transformer of, say, GPT or the training is in any way connected to such an expression of the human brain.

Linux is written in C and that‘s Turing complete. And? Therefore Linux is like the brain?
> Not sure what your evidence is.

I provided a study in my very first comment. Did you read it? I'll provide it again for you here: (https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/113/6/1565/6178918?log...) The study found vegan children to be at risk of lower stature and bone density.

Thank you for the studies, I have reviewed them. In turn:

1. Please review Figure 2. Children on vegan and vegetarian diets presented with higher rates of "stunted or severely stunted," as per the WHO criteria used. This is discussed and confirmed later in the study. The study did not measure bone density at all.

2. This is the same study cited as above.

3. This study explored neither height nor bone density. The blood levels of studied macro-nutrients were in the healthy range, and that's good.

4. In a fascinating twist of fate, you cited the study I cited above, which finds that vegan children are at risk of lower stature and bone density. I'm not sure you read these studies if you think this study confirms your beliefs.

5. This study found that vegetarian children were both shorter, and weighed less. They did not measure bone density.

6. This study found, like the rest, that vegan children were shorter and weighed less. They did not measure bone density.

7. This study, once again, found children to be lighter and shorter. They did not measure bone density.

8. This study, once again, found children to be lighter and lower in "growth percentile." The study did not measure bone density.

9. It's hard to parse this study. The omnivorous children were taller than the vegetarians, but shorter than the vegans. However the vegan cohort was only six in total. Further, the vegetarian children were heavier than the omnivores. These results are the opposite of all of the studies you cited. It is an interesting data point, but it doesn't appear to lend credence to either of our arguments. It's clear that some delta occurs as a result of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous diets, and given the wealth of evidence you've submitted, it's clear that vegetarian and especially vegan diets usually result in poorer growth. The study did not measure bone density.

I'm not sure you read these studies very thoroughly. I suppose I should thank you for providing so much corroborative evidence that vegan diets are dangerous for children.
> Milk was heavily subsidized (...)

The whole agricultural industry in Europe is heavily subsidized through Europe's common agriculture policy. It's a strategic and national interest policy so that Europe's access to food is not jeopardized in case of war.

It's ok that these subsidies exist, and they surely won't go away any time soon.

I agree and I would take this one step further. I would challenge that not just our senses are a shared hallucination but how those senses are perceived are just as prone to delusional thinking/beliefs not set in reality as anyone else. Someone can objectively type a neutral statement but you can interpret it as passive aggressive and now have a delusional belief that this person dislikes you, assuming you know their intent and mind.

I myself run into this a lot with people who aren’t on the schizophrenia spectrum of disorders: they tend to believe wholly that their interpretation of stimuli is equivalent to reality, and are highly resistant to the idea that their impressions can be wrong. This is anywhere from “you didn’t text me back after 10 minutes, you don’t like me” to “I like this programming language therefore I end up believing it’s technically necessary” and especially the “I can’t conceptualize someone else’s experiences, therefore they must be lying”.

I'm apologizing for my tone, hope you're not offended. My point was that there isn't the one HTML spec everybody agrees to: we have at least WHATWG's head, W3C's recommendation (an older review draft snapshot of WHATWG HTML), W3C's even older HTML 5.x recommendations, and the hypothetical version the nu validator checks (which is specified nowhere eg. in the form of a commit hash of the whatwg or web-platform-test repo or whatever).

Yes that's important too, but the magnitude of difference is relevant.

A local shell with a non-pathological shell config and a reasonable terminal emulator is snappy-ish.

Most sluggishness can be fixed in shell config. If that isn't working, some terminal emulators are definitely faster than others, especially on Linux with its wide variety of modern and historical choices! And of course tty will always be faster still, but far less convenient.

When all is said and done and properly optimized, it's all probably still slower than the ProDOS prompt on an Apple //e (1MHz 6502 CPU), which can't help but make you wonder what we've all been doing for the last 40 years!

There’s nothing special about Macs or Mac users, this article is just in a Mac-focused blog, so it’s not implying anything about other OSes. Deduping is a mainstay of computer housekeeping on any OS, for some people, though maybe not you. There are lots of workflows that end up with duplicates, but certainly not everyone uses them.

Here are just a few ways I’ve ended up with enough dupes to want to dedupe, which has happened on Windows and Linux for me as frequently as on Mac: Backing up mobile phones, using version control for multiple repositories that share files, losing access to repository servers and archiving or backup up the files, forking an old archived folder and making modifications to it that I want to keep, not to mention homegrown schemes & scripts for archiving and backing up when I either don’t want to pay for backup software or can’t even find anything appropriate to all my needs (cross platform, saving to a NAS, shared with my family, etc.)
Personally I think the most dangerous kind of bias is financial biases.

Luckily there are multiple news orgs not beholden such things like Al-Jazeera, although its funded by the qatari government its practically independent with many awards and reporting representing the middle east, that's why they were able to stand against american lies in Iraq(to the point the U.S. requited Qatar to limit them), and truly cover the occupation in Palestine.

Just don't trust their reporting about Qatar.

Lanier is right that the phrase "artificial intelligence" isn't very useful for understanding what the recent progress in generative models actually means. I think, though, that's not much more than saying that while we know what we mean by "artificial," we don't really have a shared definition of "intelligence" against which we're evaluating these capabilities. Different observers use the word to mean everything from the ability to reason, to sentience, to self-consciousness, and from the attributes of single entities (a single dog, or chimp or person) to those given to the entirety of human thought. We can't even agree on a self-referential definition of intelligence, let alone an a priori one, so there isn't much chance we'll agree on whether GPT-4 manifests intelligence.
Yeah I agree, but I know how to work and have been doing it every day for most of my life. I dunno how healthcare works and how to even begin this tinnitus investigation process. It's a domain knowledge thing, Its very easy to just keep doing what your doing no matter how much it sucks.

Also one thing I have picked up is that healthcare is extremely expensive. I said I'd give up all my possessions for a cure, but lets say there is a cure, I realistically may not have enough wealth to afford it. And food and shelter is actually a higher priority than the tinnitus.
I don’t think you have an ‘arithmetic’ part of your brain.

What you have that LLMs lack is a visual part of your brain - one which can instantly count quantities of objects up to about 7. That gives you tools that can be trained to do basic arithmetic operations. Although you have to be taught how to use that natural capability in your brain to solve arithmetic problems.

And of course for more complex things than simple arithmetic, you fall back on verbalized reasoning and association of facts (like multiplication tables) - which an LLM is capable of doing too.

Poor GPT though has only a one dimensional perceptual space - tokens and their embedding from start to end of its attention window - although who’s to say it doesn’t have some sense for ‘quantity’ of repeated patterns in that space too?

This would actually be really surprising, wouldn’t it? I would think the default would be a pool of pre-human hominids which gradually changed over time and eventually crossed the arbitrary line we deem “human”. I suppose in theory one individual may have had the last teeny mutation to cross over that arbitrary line which then spread everywhere to cross the rest of the pool over, but it seems more likely that bits of the “human” features developed in different populations over time and eventually and gradually merged through cross breeding (after each mutation was already in multiple individuals). The linear view with a singleton seems overly simplistic for “humans” overall. For a single trait it still seems overly simplistic and unlikely, but not nearly as radically so.

EDIT I think there is some confusion here. I believe the article claim is that the feature "blue eyes" may have originated from a mutation in a single individual organism, or at least bottlenecked in a single individual organism. OP sounds like they are saying "yeah, now do humans", but the entire feature complex "human" is almost certainly not like that. If all OP is saying is that there is probably at least one tiny feature in humans which originated from a mutation in a single individual organism, then sure this is trivially true, but that situation is very, very different from the article situation.
Imagine, you had some tool affording you complete information about everything happening on earth, aided by some AI that only tells the truth about anything when asked.

You would still have to pose the right questions or risk dying in ignorance.

People's complaints here about bias is really about being manipulated successfully by parts of society working actively in their own, markedly different, interests.

Those won't just go away. Aligning interests doesn't happen by providing facts.

To be honest apacha/nginx + php with laravel is probably few of the most stable web serves I've build. IMO it's still a lot lighter and easier then Java or C#. But yeah the old script kiddie days were great. And I do thing we should encourage users more to be more wild for small projects and just build something without a framework.
I still don't have a really good answer to this question:

If you want to be able to do Q&A against an existing corpus of documentation, can fine-tuning an LLM on that documentation get good results, or is that a waste of time compared to the trick where you search for relevant content and paste that into a prompt along with your question?

I see many people get excited about fine-tuning because they want to solve this problem.

The best answer I've seen so far is in https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples...

> Although fine-tuning can feel like the more natural option—training on data is how GPT learned all of its other knowledge, after all—we generally do not recommend it as a way to teach the model knowledge. Fine-tuning is better suited to teaching specialized tasks or styles, and is less reliable for factual recall. [...] In contrast, message inputs are like short-term memory. When you insert knowledge into a message, it’s like taking an exam with open notes. With notes in hand, the model is more likely to arrive at correct answers.
Clearly are going to need to fix the debris issue with a flame diverter or aggressive suppression. Obviously they didn't anticipate the booster eating through the entire concrete pad and boosting the beach into the atmosphere.
> That‘s irrelevant, too, because nothing indicates that the actual transformer of, say, GPT or the training is in any way connected to such an expression of the human brain.

It's not irrelevant, it was merely the premise for the following point, which was that transformers are trained to learn a function. Since they're Turing complete, they can thus hypothetically implement any function, including the function governing human speech, as I described.

If transformers were not Turing complete, then they arguably would not be computationally powerful enough to model the brain which we know is Turing complete.

What is irrelevant is trying to dismiss transformers as intelligent, or like the brain, simply because they're "merely matrix multiplications".

you probably believe simultaneously that i:

- don’t vote.

- if handed a ballot with this issue on it, would mark the “no” column.

and if that were the case, i propose that you consider more seriously that second point. if voting is the path to better outcomes, you want always (1) more voter turnout AND (2) more precise translation of voter preference into policy.

i feel that what we’ve got today is something like a B, B- on voter turnout, but an unambiguous F on how votes drive policy. that if our democracy was somehow such that the conversation being had was “don’t forget to vote against EARN IT on your ballot” instead of “don’t forget to write your legislators about EARN IT”, we’d both find that a better system? ambiguities, caveats abound. i’m not literally saying that every policy issue ought be on the ballot, just that if the formal systems for fairly translating individual preference into policy were more capable, we wouldn’t feel any need to reach for informal methods like writing legislators or rejecting authority.

Its interpreted differently.
Nice overview, the parameter efficient fine tuning space is heating up. It’s been interesting to watch fine tuning go from a binary choice to a spectrum. With the context window also continuing to grow LLMs are entering a whole new era.

I imagine down the road we may learn what to tune into models dynamically and how deep it needs to go. Or maybe the context window becomes a sort of rapidly trained thin NN layer on top like we’ve seen in diffusion models
It depends on how you define the boat. I think you can argue that in both cases continued servitude is the only way either of them can get food and a place to sleep indoors. There’s a big gulf of experience beyond that. But you can only form a coalition with someone on the basis of common ground. So while you’re both right, it’s not going to help either the cleaner or the engineer get better treatment if they don’t acknowledge similarities where they exist.

That’s not ‘basic arithmetic’. Most humans would need a pen and paper to solve it.

GPT’s attention window is not equivalent to it being able to ‘write stuff down’ - it’s its equivalent of being able to remember the foregoing few minutes of conversation.
