The article states moths are more efficient pollinators _at night_.

But many types flowers close at night (tulips and hibiscus for instance).

So presumably moths don't pollinate those and we still need daytime pollinators.
Yeah, but he had the experience of building it in the first place, and understanding what he was doing and trying to accomplish. That's not a great speedup given that context. He already knew how to hand-code it, so coaxing the GPT and understanding when it wasn't entirely correct made all the difference. One should expect that even if they were programming a task a second time by hand, that there would be a significant speedup in the same ballpark.
> The DMCA takedown provision doesn't apply

If you mean the notice-and-takedown system in Section 512 of the DMCA you're correct, that isn't the relevant section of the DMCA.

But if this software is an anti-circumvention technology than it's illegal for GitHub to host it under a different section (see my citation you replied to).

So GitHub accepts other kinds of takedown requests, including anti-circumvention takedowns, and acts on them if it determines that would be appropriate [1].

All the recent work on compact reactors has been on modular ones that don’t care about weight. I think there have been studies about nuclear rockets but no active development programs.

Fission rockets are useless for launching to space because the thrust is too low, or the weight is too high. They could be useful in space because their higher exhaust velocity. But high exhaust velocity means low thrust.
Most of the time these testing card attacks are automated. If so, You can implement code and use Stripe element. Additionally, add logic if you get request from same IP in, let say 5 per within 1 minutes then block them for 15 minutes or so. Add Captcha and use CloudFlare to block IP ranges.
I've been using the CH32V305 as a keyboard controller. (https://gitlab.com/hakfoo1/ch32v-keyboard) It can be had on a convenient breakout board for six dollars. You get GPIOs for days and workable examples to handle the heavy lifting of USB and I2C (since modern keyboards need little OLED displays :)

I'm hoping the platform picks up more momentum in this particular vertical. Designs are outgrowing the tiny AVR Pro Micro and equivalent controllers, but it seems to be ending up in a thousand different ARM flavours at this point.
I'm not entirely sure what market DuckDuckGo is trying to serve.

- Non-privacy-conscious people are just going to use Google.

- Privacy-conscious people know enough to realize that DuckDuckGo isn't really protecting your privacy, and that it's akin to using ExpressVPN or NordVPN to "hide your IP address".

Didn't they also have some kind of censorship uproar back in the day?

I know many people with lifestyles that would totally fit the charge-at-home approach which eliminates almost all of the problems. But that means real estate has to be cheaper so you can afford the "driveway". And you need a car sharing culture to deal with road trips, etc. where you need a longer range that one time a year. Again, talking about a good chunk of people, not necessarily yourself.
I wonder why this pattern of managing distributed system at OS level is not widely adopted? and we end up with various customized systems handling distributed system issues at application level.

US urges South Korea not to fill China shortfalls if Beijing bans Micron chips
A few years ago, I made comments on HN about how I found Chinese Bonzi Buddy clones on the Mac App Store, except using different animals like tigers and lions. Same functionality of Bonzi Buddy outside of that.

It's absolutely astounding to me that this problem is still going on to this day, with even scammier apps.

It is worth noting that even the iOS App Store hosts multimillion dollar scams on it[1].

There is no mechanism to fact check generated data, it could be slowly making a fantasy world for itself. There's already no factuality to ChatGPT, it has no understanding of if the things it says are based in fact.

Just an example, you ask it when a certain variety of grape was introduced in Australia and it just picks a probable Australian town name. Different each time. It doesn't know how to be right in that circumstance.
Do we yet have a single example of a transformer based AI, i.e. LLM, learning something new that we didn’t teach it in the training data?

Maybe we do.

I’m not sure how to define it, but new should be a discovery or insight or even relationship that is not explicitly taught in the training data.

If we don’t then it suggests without humans in the loop that the super intelligence is not so close?

>It casts shade against OpenAI, claiming – contra OpenAI's own assurances about retention – that "ChatGPT may store data related to your queries and responses". But, it only offers the same non-verifiable assurances itself – with even less reputation, or opportunity to hold accountable for violations, than with OpenAI.

That's as may be, but I'm not interested in sharing my PII with OpenAI just to mess around (which is all I'm interested in doing at this point) with ChatGPT.

As such, I appreciate the opportunity to do so on this site.

Is it shady/meant for folks to do evil/not above-board in some other way? I have no idea.

Although I'd note that my first foray into using this site wasn't all that impressive. That said, I have nothing to compare it with, so perhaps it really is "wonderful."

IF it makes you feel any better, the site does perform CAPTCHAs and limits the number of queries allowed in a single session.

I'm not advocating for or against this (non-invasive WRT PII) interface to ChatGPT, I'm not sad it exists as it allows me to play around with it (albeit in very small doses).
The better general suggestion is to find good tools to make your OS life more comfortable rather than admitting defeat right away and imitating the bad old stuck ways of the OS

> The same way in that a CS PHD is going to be able to pickup programming languages better and more quickly than someone who has learned C++ and python, they understand the underlying mechanics of language, what makes it work.

... have you ever actually met anyone who got a PhD in CS? Because first off, very few people will actually study the "mechanics of language" in doing a CS PhD. If you're studying compilers or formal methods or maybe software engineering, sure, you'll study up on programming language semantics; but if you're learning AI or operating systems or computer architecture, you're very unlikely to touch those semantics. But even assuming you have someone who has actually taken those graduate-level courses (and I have!), it's not actually helpful for learning new languages. Learning semantics is essentially learning how to give meaning to the expression "a + b" (there are many ways to do this, and they have different tradeoffs), but if you want to learn a language, all you really want to learn is that "a + b" adds two numbers together, let's move on.

There's a similar gap between learning languages and being a linguist. As I understand it, most linguists are not polyglots (actually, I think a majority of them may be monolingual!), and most polyglots are not linguists. The linguist is the person who will tell you that English doesn't have a future tense: instead, you indicate the future by using specific helping verbs in the present tense. Anyone instructing English as a second language will slap the linguist on the head for being an idiot and tell you that the future tense in English is the "will X" construction.
Haha yes I did not think about that. There’s no throttling there

I require uploading an arbitrary copyrighted work to my site to login

The keyword that makes all the difference is "arbitrary".

Roblox can certainly require access to a complete copy of a copyrighted file in a windows installation (i.e. by requiring sending bytes from random offsets in it to their server, which could only be faked by having the whole file anyway)

Ironically, Microsoft offers the copyrighted files available in a Windows installation for free download, both in the form of complete ISOs and Windows Updates.

Everything passes eventually. Microsoft used to be king of tech, but no longer. Google has been king, but clearly they are on the downhill slide from their peak. Someday AWS will no longer be the prime cloud provider. Someday another phone manufacturer will take Apple’s crown. It is as inevitable as the rising and setting of the sun.
> Not least because Apple takes 30%, which puts a lot of paid developers out of business. But 30% of nothing pays for nothing.

They get a $100/year from every developer on top of cuts of all app revenue.

The issue isn't the lack of money, it's that Apple doesn't want to cut into their own margins with pesky things like quality control.
I noticed it (only knew of site filter). But could not understand why it worked the way it did. In the end I used it seldom.

The other filters are cool.
Punishing could refer to bans (anticheat) when used in gaming context.
Years ago youtube offered a choice between their recomendations and your subscriptions as a homepage. Then they removed the choice and forced their recommendations on everyone. So i installed an extension to redirect from my youtube homepage to my subscriptions. Haven't even seen the algorithm in ages. When i feel like watching something I go to my subscriptions and browse a chronologically sorted list of videos from creators I like. Another extension hides all youtbe shorts. I've never clicked a bell either. The idea of having a notification shoved in my face when someone posts a video sound ridiculous to me. I've definitely complained before about the older generation being stuck in their ways and not adapting with the times, but I wonder if I'm not the same already, in my thirties and hell-bent on using youtube "wrong".
Let's see what restrictions there are on side-loaded apps first. No Apple is going to cave in completely during the first round.
Not all are bootstrap-capable, and many do co-generation for district heating, which can power absorption heat pumps for cooling in the summer.

Also a gas turbine core that's spinning can modulate power in seconds, unlike one that has to first be brought up to speed with external power (even if that's from batteries, or an on-site diesel (like AFAIK in the case of the black start capability of the downtown power plant in Wuppertal Barmen)).

I just write markdown documents and push it to github.

There's also a URL with a textbox that can save small snippets of text. No auth needed to save, but auth needed to retrieve the saved contents. This helps when I'm on the road and need to quickly save something.
Yeah, it's completely absurd and divorced from reality.

Civilization will not collapse by 2038, and the population of people will not be under 2 billion by 2050. Billions of people will not die due to climate change in the next 27 years. Anyone who thinks otherwise should see a psychiatrist.
I’ve also noticed that “”’s stopped working as expected there recently.

Sample query: “lowes pet bedding”. The quotation marks do something; they remove some results from tractor supply and home depot. However, many results don’t contain the word “lowes” or “bedding”. For example:

https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/licensing/

And, none contain the exact phrase. Google does the expected thing (return one result). Annoyingly, the last time I checked, the situation was reversed, and Google search is now useless for other reasons.

Thirty seven spam results surround the one organic google search result for the query. For the love of all that is good and proper, thirty seven?!? Who thought that was a good number?

That result page would make 90’s era pay-for-placement search engines blush!
Avoid the startup. They will tell you "sincerity begins at 90 hours per week" and then lay you off in 6 months. (Or maybe they won't, no company, large or small seems immune to layoffs.)

But older, more established, companies typically provide better work/life balance and the additional 10% in salary won't pay for the time you lose with your new family.

I lucked out when my first child was born. I got laid off a week before. I say "lucked out" because our insurance benefits went on, cost free for three months and my spouse spent a month in the hospital after the birth. This was before paternity leave was a thing, and had I been working, I would have been very nervous taking a month off to care for her (or really, caring for our child so my spouse could focus on getting better.)

I did find a job before we lost our insurance benefits, but it paid a bit less but was MUCH less stressful and with a MUCH better work/life balance.

Oddly enough - Wow and Runescape are like the only 2 we didn't play...WoW's art style just never appealed. But we played SWG/SWTOR, EQ/EQ2 (lots of EQ2 - one of our favorites), Darkfall, FF:ARR, ESO, Ryzom, DDO, CoH, New World, Aion, Riders of Icaraus, Project Gorgon ( Very unique though a bit rough)

Now we're waiting on Ashes of Creation, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen.

We just end up going back to LoTro a lot because its very casual friendly, the story/quest lines are awesome, its HUGE! (one of the largest maps second only to WoW and procedurally generated IIRC). Level cap is 140 now, so lots of stuff to do and see without having to 'end game grind'..Oh! and PVP in LoTro is called "monster play" - its literall the "freeps vs the creeps" - you can play as one of the "free peoples" (human,elf, etc) or as a "monster" - giant spider, wolf, orc, etc. You 'monster' characters actually have their own progression and skills and can be leveled like your 'regular' characters.

Anyway - I hope you can get it working! If it helps, it runs under proton/Steam on Linux too!
I’m just saying, it was more a hopeful nod in the direction of wishful thinking. Not a joke, just a bit of having my head in the sand.

It isn't some shmuck working at Apple who reviews apps for quality and security, but some underpaid contractor on the other side of the planet who quickly needs to apply a checklist to your app before they lose the gig entirely for not meeting their hourly quota.

Sorry, my comment wasn't LLMs in general, it was this specific pair of LLMs at this specific time.

I've been trying the same prompt since ChatGPT was released, and I keep revisiting it.

They are getting better at writing code, Bard's addition of sourcing information is very important to me.

I do this so I can see if it will help _me_ in what I'm trying to do, and where the failure modes are. Their failure modes are very sneaky and very dangerous for the kind of programming I do.

I would use them to maybe give me a first pass at some code in a language I have zero familiarity with, and only to solve general problems.

I'm thinking throw-away, one-off code where the operational range is known up front and fully middle of the road. I'm thinking reports.

I might try to get it to write something useful in R, I have no knowledge of that.

I can see them as really handy refactoring tools. They take instruction pretty well. They just need to be stable in the code they produce - they keep reintroducing bugs you've instructed them to fix. Changing to an edit stream against code instead of re-generating the code might be a fix?

>All told, this took about 2.5 hours.
>And all I did was end up with a model very similar to one I wrote by hand several months ago.
>But that one took me something like six hours! So 2.5 hours is a huge speedup.

It's likely that the attempt being the second time explains 80% of the time reduction.
Design and implementation is a learning process, and you being it through once will speed it up massively.
I guess it's only cheap (or good value) if you get it right though. How do you know you're getting it right early on?
The idea that you should be able to publish information and then control how people use it is indeed popular, but claiming that failing to embrace this idea is inherently unethical … well, I’d say “citation needed” at a minimum.

I was talking about nectar robbing by moths, butterflies don't do it. And butterflies only have a tube with a tongue, they don't have opposing jaws or a typical mouthpart. Moths are some of many nectar robbers who will cut a hole or slit in the bottom part of the nectar bearing parts of plants and drink that directly rather than playing by 'the rules' and going down the flower past the reproductive organs. Thus getting the benefit of the nectar without abiding by the "rules" that ensure the plant's pollentation.

GPT can learn things "in context" E.g. you can teach it something by chatting with it, but it will eventually forget it after its context length is exceeded. It cannot continuously learn and remember like biological organisms since its weights are frozen.

The most famous linguist in the world is a monolingual.

Second language acquisition research is a joke, you cannot transform your learning by deep diving on it.

And way too many linguists are barely capable of learning languages to fluency, it's not common for them to be polyglots. Being able to understand the hardest grammatical concepts in say Polish, Arabic, or Hungarian in a half hour doesn't imply one has any capacity to acquire those languages (producing output in real time involves none of the mental calculus done when grammar is consciously processed as a set of rules, except for a little editing after the fact in the "monitor" part of the brain, you can only fluently produce grammar, words, and prosody that have been acquired.).

So to me the claim is out there.
I expect that by the time ICE cards are banned it will no longer be a problem.
the author himself says he thinks the experience gave him half an hour, maybe an hour tops of time.
I'm going to assume he knows what he did to get GPT on track better than you do. and of course, he obviously thought it good enough to want to do it again. Either way, the top comment is just odd. This need to see someone use GPT productively and then butt in and be all "well akshually" just to say something likely unrelated, sometimes not even basing the comment on any sort of experience with the model in comparison is really bizarre. It's not enough to think it's not useful. You just have to "correct" people who found it useful.
