If you have many prompt-completion pairs, then fine-tuning seems to be the better approach, because of the limited context size of prompting. I am experimenting with LLMs as well, and for small examples few-shot prompting works miraculously well for my purposes, even with gpt-3.5-turbo. But I am hitting the 4k context size quickly, and even 32k is not enough for a serious application. That's why I will also look at fine-tuning, mainly to escape the context size limitation.

Edit: This affects every use case where each prompt-completion pair provides new and essential information that the model needs to take into account.
I question whether there's any point to that. Would just make the system randomly and inexplicably sluggish until everything been fully initialized. That's a pretty miserable experience.

Aircraft safety standards and rocket safety standards are totally different!

SpaceX has blown up 7 rockets and advanced ridiculously quickly. On the other hand we are aggressively safety conscious in aviation and that’s great but in the first 60 years of flight we went from the Wright brothers to the 737 and in the next 60 years we went from the 737 to the 737 Max.

As much as people hate to hear you can’t have it both ways, I think the evidence we can take from this is that innovation basically isn’t possible within an aggressively safety optimizing regime.

There's no real difference between democracy and "democracy" in this regard.
> Disclosure: I'm US-based, so our politics are traditionally bipolar as a result of our election system (in contrast to Europe et al.).

There's a whole lot of bias that's "baked in" with US politics / media. There's broad consensus on neoliberal capitalism, personal freedoms vs collectivism, common ground on opposing states like Russia and China.

On a few wedge issues you will average out to a common ground, but ultimately you're not eliminating bias, you're just eliminating a relatively small bias between left-wing and right-wing US and replacing it with an "overall US" bias.

Yeah, as someone who sometimes uses macOS, I was confused by this initially but I believe you have the right interpretation.
And yet the arrogant position is to believe you know how human society works so well that you can say with confidence that obliterating a hundred thousand years of cultural isolation has no downside.

The burden of proof is on the one who wants to change things, and the burden is higher the more you want to change things. In 2023 US democracy is falling apart, we are on the brink of civil war, in part because of these effects, so I think they are worth questioning.
Most people aren’t doing crimes. Roads are used to traffic drugs but we don’t hold the state accountable nor do we setup checkpoints within country to inspect cars for illegal material because some % of cars do.

Definitely possible but IMHO I would go a teeny bit further and setup a lightweight WM like XFCE or openbox and configure X11 to run FocusWriter on boot (could even configure a systemd user service to ensure it always stays running): https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/ Search around for Linux kiosk mode and you'll see tons of options for booting full screen to an exclusive X11 app. FocusWriter looks amazing and can even turn on typewriter sound effects with every keypress.
I didn't imply anything, I was asking for his reasoning since he didn't provide any.

And I'm not sure how to respond to anyone that buckets people into those that do and those that don't matter. Your argument doesn't seem to be made in good faith.

Such a weird attack and downvote just for asking for a clarification?
This is not how it works.

Those jobs are not based on performance or anything remotely meritocratic.
Depends: can you give an example where 32k would be necessary? In my experience, GPT-4 often outputs what you expect, even without any prompt:completion examples. (Unlike GPT-3.5-turbo—which in my opinion is even less capable than text-davinci-003 / 002). If you have complex requirements, you could just chain together multiple calls to GPT-4?

Now, the cost of GPT-4 is an issue. I hope that open-source models such those released by Stability AI reach the same level of quality as (at least) GPT-3.5-turbo soon. That would be a game changer.
I think people look more desperate to hype these LLM toys, that they are not the next blockchain or self-driving car. When they fail it's just excuses like you are not using the latest version or "prompting" them right.

The LLM value add for coding is less than the value add of syntax highlighting in my experience.
Insurance works because people, companies, shareholders etc are risk-averse and thus value paying a little for reducing variance a lot. That’s not a loss to the buyer. NPV isn’t the only measure of value.
What argument are you trying to make here? This feels very “I’m going to logic you into my view”. Google is a large, nuanced organisation. The measure of Sundar “caring deeply” doesn’t have to be filtered through a marketing slogan.

> Considering between then and now, we have much prettier looking games that do NOT require ray tracing for their visual effects (and can run on much fewer CPU cycles), thanks to much more "clever" techniques and algorithms (DoF, bloom, subsurface scattering, PBR, etc), and if it weren't for the RTX graphics cards setting the precedent, there would probably be more research into making things prettier without having to "brute force" things.

Unreal Engine 5 has a new lighting system called "Lumen". It seems to be visually almost on the level of normal brute force ray tracing, while not requiring any special ray traycing hardware and still running with decent performance on mid range hardware. It's a smarter approach which tries to accumulate lighting information on textures over time instead of computing everything again for each frame.
More than 2.

For an example, crows can effectively use tools and communicate abstract concepts to one another from a memory. Which means they can observe a situation, draw conclusions, and use those conclusions to act as well as make decisions on how to act. That would seem to meet the bar for reasoning abstractly.
In general, any product or service that makes exaggerated or false claims of effectiveness without providing concrete evidence to support those claims could be considered a form of "snake oil."

Just because we don't know all the workings of something doesn't mean we can't effectively use it, or measure how well that approach of use is valuable or repeatable for similar uses.

For example, while we have a good understanding of the basic principles of magnetism, there is still much that we do not fully understand about how magnets work, and ongoing research is focused on unraveling these mysteries and expanding our understanding of this fascinating natural phenomenon.

That's not to say we don't know how to use magnets to make sound, however.

Prompt engineering, in my opinion, is a process of optimized querying of a frozen model. The approach can be augmented by using "hot" data from vector databases or other types of text storage engines. The approach to picking the right content for prompt building is not "snake oil", but based on well known processes including autocomplete, synonyms and related terms, personalization, and query expansion.
Humans are not bad at maths.
As long as the search part of search + prompt is good, the prompt part will emit accurate results or will say it couldn't find the answer. You can also cite the sources this way.

It seems pretty expensive because you may be pasting a lot of context into each query. If you allow the user to have follow up queries and you want to retain context of the conversation that seems expensive too. But it does seem like it should give the best results for Q&A as long as question is directly answered in your data somewhere.
I apologize, it appears that my way of estimating whether game uses HW compression is garbage.

A lot of crimes things require intent. Perhaps using AI could actually circumvent the intent requirement of crime, thus making a lot of otherwise illegal things totally legal.

That is to say, it not only makes it hard to pin responsibility, but actually makes it no longer a crime at all.
No, it cannot, that’s explicitly not what legitimate interest is about. If that’s the way it’s playing out in Germany then that’s sad, but that’s a problem with the national regulator. Other regulators are dropping the ball on enforcement so it doesn’t surprise me, but that is expressly not legitimate interest.

Legitimate interest is things like a legal requirement to maintain PII because of the services offered.

You've missed their point entirely. It was never stated that JS was lacking this, rather than most languages DON'T lack it.
Mea culpa, I missed that :)
For my use case, GPT-3.5 quality seems enough, as it already delivers nearly 100% optimal output, and GPT-4 wouldn't be much of an improvement. On the other hand, an upper bound of 8k or even 32k context is just not acceptable for my use case.

I tried out da-vinci, which also works fine, but models below da-vinci don't work well for my use case.

There's no difference between "central" money and other money, though. It's all just money.

> Do we have rules that forbid specific industries from contracting loans?

Regulations differ by jurisdiction, but generally you can't do any kind of banking business without being licensed specifically as a bank. For example, if you get a car loan "from the dealership" it's not actually the dealership giving you the loan, but a bank that they partner with.
Pretty much every distro does this now, at least big distros like Ubuntu. Systemd did a ton of work to allow the entire init process to happen as lazily as possible with on demand socket, file and other unit activation. I don't think systemd gets enough respect for just how much it has massively improved booting into a ready machine.

Crypto is a great service.

But I do not see it as anything other than that.

My process goes like this.

I buy the crypto I need to send, I send it, I am left with 2 or 3 us dollars I didn't use in a wallet until I need to use it again.

Better and easier than PayPal, but there are risks such as it isn't secured or backed up and I am ok with those risks.
Interesting. I didn't use as large of numbers as you did, but in the low thousands, and ChatGPT w/ GPT-4 got them correct 3 times in a row.

What's also interesting, though not necessarily surprising, is how relatively close the incorrect answers are in your examples. It's not like the model will randomly spit out an answer like 42 if you ask it to multiply something like 36,330 by 26,951.
If the expected cost of developing a product is more than the expected profit, capitalists won't invest in the product even if demand exists.

Capitalists are terrible at investing in basic R&D: long-term returns, hazy benefits, hazy costs. Only the fattest and most outrageously profitable corporations have an appetite for it, and it's always the first place to see cuts in a downturn.

Occasionally an artist, a lunatic, an ideologue, or a combination of the above will look beyond the framework of profit and find some other reason for making an economically suboptimal decision. If they succeed, the state of the art is advanced, paving the way for capitalists to crawl out of their previous local maxima and start making copies and minor iterations.
Further the final assembly problems don't really exist like they did back in 2014, it's much more minor and on par with other manufacturers. For whatever reason though there's a small segment of people who cling to this idea they're low quality like their lives depend on it
I believe both these comments hold part of the truth. Famously we can only relate to 100 or so real people, but over millenia we developed culture that helps us identify and relate, e.g, to our village, city, company, country etc. All of them virtual entities that help us organize at scale.

That process has not stopped. One fascinating development that should be celebrated much more but alas is still subject to nationalistic attacks is the European Union and the concept of "fellow Europeans". Its the first manifestation of super-national identity, built on the ruins of WWII.

Another equally fascinating thing are open source communities that span the globe. Large scale collaboration is possible and by all accounts will be necessary for our survival.

Unfortunately that cultural process might not be evolving fast enough. From the pandemic experience to the current geopolitical situation its pretty clear adversarial modes are still on the driving seat.

"around 200,000 to 300,000 years ago"

That's kinda the problem. This "required by law" bit obviously conflicts with their "privacy is a human right" shtick.

Despotic nations like China get 93% of device access requests granted. Apple doesn't even have control over Chinese iCloud servers, their allegiance to the government directly prevents them from protecting their users.

Current $/MWh prices are high enough that, given current LiIon prices (and that LiIon is what we get even if we don't put in any effort to get cheaper alternatives given its widespread usage), I recommend people stop trying to make it happen and put their efforts elsewhere.

But my claim is, if Chernobyl hadn't Chernobyled, the $/MWh price would probably be lower.

I'm not making a specific claim that it would be cheap enough, though; I don't have enough relevant background to guess the magnitude.
It depends on what kind of software you need to assess. In the case of client side encryption, which is the market in which Proton positions itself, you can verify the security of the implementation by just looking at the client-side code.

If for some reason you end up needing to read the server-side code, then it would technically mean that client-side encryption has failed and does not deliver the necessary assurance.

If you think about it in terms of threat model, we are operating on the assumption that the provider may be malicious, or compromised. There is no context in which reviewing the source code of the server-side component would help us, because the provider would always be able to modify the source code, whether we read it or not.

On the other side if proton reveals the server-side part of the service, it would likely reveal nothing in terms of your security as a customer but it would reveal a lot of proprietary information that could help wannabe competitors.
Last night I got woken up by a loud alarm from my phone on my bedside table, after midnight. It was an emergency text from Albuquerque about a child abduction. I have no reason to believe that it was a false alert. But it was not an alert that I could do a thing about. I don't even live within a 100 miles of the incident. I'm now more inclined to turn off my phone at night, and otherwise ignore these alerts.

Are the remnants of rocket fuel mixed into the dust hazardous?

SpaceX has specifically told folks in the town not to touch any debris or handle and call them.

They are also VERY careful about handling dragon capsules etc. though I think that’s more for the thruster, rather than the engines.

I know ch4+o2 should convert to co2 and h2o but I’m unsure what other particulate could be included in the dust. Like concrete remnants (concrete dust is really bad to breathe) paint, or other additives or chemicals that were still n the pad and rocket.
Fair point, indeed.

Not OP. Then what "value" did you even bring to this conversation then, other than to say this person has bias? Because the natural interpretation of your comment is "oh, good facts, but see he has this bias because of this word, therefore the facts must be wrong or misleading or cherry picked". That interpretation sure sounds like an ad-hominem. If there is bias, state your counter points to prove that point.
I think this is actually a good thing in the long run because “requiring intent” creates a clearly perverse incentive where the organization may be able to do illegal things so long as it can delude itself about them, for instance by keeping inaccurate books or allowing broken processes to remain broken because fixing them would shed light on something illegal.

Instead I think it would be better for organizations to be approximately as liable for their mistakes as their crimes. In that case it doesn’t matter if an employee does something illegal or an AI does some illegal on behalf of the company, the company will remain liable.

Not the parent. But grid scale battery storage does exist. The UK has around 30GW in the pipeline and deployed around 1GW last year.

Projects like xlinks are not directly comparable to other mega projects as they are far less monolithic. They can scale out rather than having to scale up.

In terms of staffing a nuclear station needs many different professions who are relatively expensive, specialised, and need to be heavily monitored for safety. Renewables requires talent obviously but probably less so.
