This is so ridiculous.

GPT is like that "know-it-all" friend we have who just has something to say about anything, with knowledge skimmed from the internet.

GPT is a language model. It outputs what you want to hear, not what is correct.
Yes - no more hassle than the first appointment

It's not "free" (unless bulk-billed), depends on what specialist and what type of appointment is involved but will range from $20-100

The author mentions being inspired by Jef Raskin. His book The Humane Interface is fantastic, and as relevant as ever.
Same…
Shortly before GPT and friends burst on the scene, I was looking for a website which would meet me where I am as an engineer - I've written reams of code in various languages.

If I want to try Rust, I don't want to be taught uint8 v uint16 or that you shadow variables. I want to know the interesting parts.

ChatGPT is pretty good at this and the other thing I want: pandas training. You can ask it to generate exercises at any difficulty and also provide test data!

This tool is the biggest mind expander for me since search engines.
> They are not the answers.

You can't possibly know that.

This approach is very old indeed, pioneered by first video terminals (as opposed to teletypes).

It assumes always-online, synchronous operation.

How do you in your model implement an auto-completion list? Do you allow it to re-generate not on each keystroke?
The plastics lobby argued in favour of single use plastics many decades ago, and that's where the focus on end consumer responsibility comes from. These were literally the same PR firms that used those same tricks on behalf of the tobacco industry not long before that.

Putting the onus exclusively on the end consumer is the easiest way to ensure the industry doesn't bear the burden and expense, and that's entirely the point.
Is that it? TIL! Assume that creates a lot of CO2 as well?
Nice. It would be even nicer, if Zig would support hot-dispatch for SIMD, i.e. the idea that the compiler can emit multiple versions of the same function/code for a number of vector widths simultaneously and the runtime selects the best (widest) option available for the hardware running the code - this is something ISPC does and is incredibly useful for targeting a range of architectures.
I can.

Even if the answers accidentally happen to be correct, that's just the broken clock happens to be correct twice a day. The information value of answers by ChatGPT is zero.
I've noticed the same shift.

Drivers are worse now than 10-15 years ago. Drivers are more aggressive (tailgating, rolling stops, speeding, ...), more sociopathic (tinted windows, louder pipes, larger vehicles, fake license plates,...), more negligent (bald tires, texting-and-driving, bumpers ripped off jagged metal sticking out, ...).

Another data point. Dashcams are on the rise, and they are truly the indicator technology of a low-trust society (remember the early car carnage internet videos, those were nearly always from russia or eastern europe, good times!). Wherever dashcams flourish, social contract is fraying.

It does not have to be like this. Many countries in Europe are making quite the opposite shift. Just recently was in London. Unreal! That place is so much more airy and welcoming than just 10-15 years ago. Covent Garden was positively quiet; so many electric cars and utility vehicles, much slower travel speeds, fewer streets, ... phenomenal. Once you experience it, and especially if you have a memory of the dark times, nobody in their right mind will want to turn back.

And wrt:

> People suck.

Do allow me a short digression and light hyperbole.

Maybe it's time to start pointing fingers, something americans, especially on the progressive-side, are too squeamish to do. In City of God, St Augustine blames the fall of Rome on the christians in the city ignoring the depravity of the pagans. Maybe we should take heed his advice, and it's time for the righteous to start calling out the wicked. Some people truly are crap, exhibit trash behaviors, and are making the world, quite simply, _worse_. We need to be confident in our judgements, and have the courage to clearly delineate right from wrong. As americans, live-and-let-live is ingrained in our DNA, but d*mn somethings gotta give here, drivers are really out of control.
Even if the answers accidentally happen to be correct, that's just the broken clock happens to be correct twice a day. The information value of answers by ChatGPT is zero.
This is actually a pretty interesting issue, which I hadn't bothered to look up before. A large chunk of all violent deaths are directly attributed to the US Coalition. For instance here [1] is the Lancet study, which directly attributes 186,000 violent civilian deaths to the Coalition alone. That yields a 4.1 ratio due to direct violence from the Coalition alone, which is itself already far worse than even WW2.

And that's extremely surprising to me. When you look at things like WW2 civilian deaths you're not only looking at violent deaths caused by the enemy. You're looking at deaths caused by all involved powers as well as indirect deaths caused by the nature of war - starvation, disease, despair, etc. The fact that one side, alone, in modern warfare can cause more violent civilian deaths (as a ratio) than all of those factors combined, in past wars, really emphasizes the notion that the concept of modern war being better for civilians is just exceptionally misguided.

The history books of the future are going to look back on the present in a way I think few can imagine today.

The internet is a misinformation spreading machine. GPT is new and will surely improve over time, but I can’t say the same for the internet.

In an ideal world, people would learn only from high quality sources like books and schools. But a shocking amount of people learn mostly through social media and whatever they find on Google.

I think LLMs will provide a better alternative.
“The eval bar helps a lot” is a very significant factor, to be sure.
Especially if my clean plastics will get mixed in with a bunch of dirty plastics and then rewashed in with that batch. I don’t know the answer either but would love to find out so I can be a better citizen about it.
you're missing the whole point of the post. and also oversimplifying the situation - "computers" and reality are blurring
hahahahahaha that is a load of horse shit if I ever heard it

you are claiming that the definition of "men" includes transistors? that's a stretch.

transistors created by men to string words together in probabilistic ways intended to simulate human writing?

good grief. 100% guarantee that not a single framer of the constitution would have your back on this one.
> It outputs what you want to hear

Nonsense. How could it possibly know "what you want to hear"?
Only if they are the best qualified. Send a couple of skanky lazy women and the mission will fail.
Sorry, its not exactly free like I described. When you are seeing experts (and when you really need second consult) you get back a small part of your money, but expert costs are high enough to deter most people from getting second opinion. But, no it is not a lot of hassle/paperwork for seeking second opinion.
It sounds to me like you're letting your firmly held existing biases get in the way of you learning a powerful new tool.

As I said in https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/8/llms-break-the-internet...

> This is the thing I worry that people are sleeping on. People who think “these language models lie to you all the time” (which they do) and “they will produce buggy code with security holes”—every single complaint about these things is true, and yet, despite all of that, the productivity benefits you get if you lean into them and say OK, how do I work with something that’s completely unreliable, that invents things, that comes up with APIs that don’t exist… how do I use that to enhance my workflow anyway?
> AI is not “smarter” than human and won’t be for a few more years minimum.

AI has collective intelligence served up individually. This is something that humans as individuals have the inverse of. Humans have to come together to arrive at hive mind, while AI is trained on hive mind, and is as a result "smarter" than individual humans in terms of baseline intelligence.

Additionally the speed with which AI can learn new things supersedes that of humans (e.g., learning new languages, reading vast amounts of information and summarizing it, remembering that newly learned information in its totality when reasoning about novel tasks).

This is to say, AI is already smarter than the average human, today. In a few more years we are facing AGI. Further, we have no idea how to tell when the threshold's been crossed. We can postulate. However AI is learning all of those guesses via the training data.

Hence many smart people are suggesting a pause, for good and legitimate reason. We as a society are not ready.

You wouldn’t need to get “approved” to do so…

You’d go back to your regular non-specialist doctor, your GP, and ask for a new referral to a specialist, explain that you want a different one, and why… the GP would give you the referral.

You might end up seeing a “private” specialist - Medicare would pay some money toward it, but the gap, the extra bit, you pay yourself (or if you have medical insurance, your insurer pays it). The insurer doesn’t waste time checking before hand whether you are or are not “approved” - and the “gap” for seeing a specialist might be $200, not much more than that.

If you don’t want to pay any money, then you wait longer for a “public” specialist to be available. It might be the same actual specialist btw, as the public hospitals are good hospitals.

You can always fight a ticket if you have a legitimate reason behind it. Whether or not the approving party will see your reasons as legitimate is another story.
Its almost as if ChatGPT is getting to be a form of dialogic learning [1]. While ChatGPT is not yet an authoritative source, it should be possible to get to such a future. The problem is with the ethics of it becoming an authoritative source and how it can possibly unlearn (or accept change or challenges). For now, the example OP provides is without authority where they learnt about a topic taking ChatGPT as a peer.

So? What about all the other things Musk promised and didn't deliver on? Why would this be the exception to the rule? Because it's a current news item?

Without specific knowledge of the agreements between India and Bhutan, or knowledge of the constraints on the network, plus other factors, your comment is hypothetical. I agree with some of your points.

I don’t agree with “They don't control the demand for their power” because Bhutan do have choice over how much they deliver, even if it is only in the long term via their contracts. Bhutan exports 70% of their power, so clearly India wants it.

As an aside, I have two very good friends who work designing electricity markets, and planning country interlinks. I am not a specialist, but I do try to keep up with the play.

This was written by one who has staked his reputation on making AGI. I doubt he will ever admit that someone makes it before he does it. He will just say the other one is not AGI but the one he is working on will be 'true' AGI.
I mean did you read the discussion he had with the language model? Does it clarify anything better than you would get by skimming wikipedia?

I have not found these explanations sufficient, while I have done a bit of chemistry and physics I understand the basics of light emissions, but reading this has the same value as reading the wiki article on LEDs to me.
This kind of second-order (and higher-order) usage of LLMs is where things actually start to get much more interesting. The other thing you can do is just train a better model.

I use GPT-4 for debugging a lot now, because it's excellent at taking nothing other than an error message from the console and giving me back what's wrong and how to fix it. It's not perfect, but it's good enough that I reach for it by default now. I don't have API access to GPT-4 yet, and so I was comparing how well GPT-3.5 performed at this same task and for the example I tried, it just didn't get close enough for me to truly find it useful, so I wouldn't begin to rely on it in my daily workflow unlike GPT-4.

But... what I am actually quite interested in, and what I'm seeing a lot of, is exactly how far can you push a less capable model through prompt engineering? I think it's actually surprisingly further than you might have initially thought.
I used to enjoy reading vice, and then I found that some quality in the editorial really irritated me. I can't decide if what it seemed to assume typed me in terms of "you are one of us, here's a story about sex & drugs" or if it was the sheer triviality of a lot of what it said.

I mean sure, I am a sucker for stories about sex and drugs. I won't deny it. But something about how vice presented it to me .. rubbed me up the wrong way.

Typo in your github about
Thanks for the links. I'd seen the high body count for the total put away for the entire S&L crisis, but never knew that it actually focused so well on those cases. I had personal connections to two persons involved one way or another. One had definitely deserved some consequences for one of the top 100 cases, but avoided them. The other was pretty much a rank-and-file front-line employee of a mom-and-pop S&L. His name was on the wrong documents because of a fairly common combination of inadvertence, indiscretion, dumbth, and wanting to keep his job; he was severely punished.
I like how it checks its facts (mostly, anyway).

It didn't give a wrong answer when asked "Is there a digital to analog converter with an 8V analog range and serial input?", which another poster (mhb) had shown to trip up plain GPT4.
This sounds similar to what the Phoenix team has done with LiveView. Is it a flavor of the same idea or are there other concepts I am missing. Can this also be rendered/hydrated by the server?
It was a lot shorter than the Wikipedia articles.
This is the main scenario I see that leads to "Oops, we didn't see that one coming, but in retrospect that was NOT a good idea".
They did exactly that, you just don't like it.
Google feels like a bunch of headless chickens running around.

it's painful to see what was once such a loved and admired brand be reduced to this. :(
It's nothing like the 100x graphics card though, it's the 1.2x graphics card, and perhaps a few percent more for efficiency improvements. If it's down as far as 80% after 25 years, replacing it will net you such a small improvement for such a large amount of work to tear out and replace.
I don't think any of these things are primary reasons. My guess is it's more about selfish ("fiercely independent") behaviour and what you can get away with, and a lack of appreciation for rules/regulations that can (on the whole) make for a more reasonable society.

The idea that there are fake plates and minimal enforcement seems ridiculous to me.

Uh, and sooo boringly, especially if there's even any tiny part of it that is developing or theoretical, and you want to learn about that part.

I've used the phrase/request "more obscure (perspectives/explanations/etc)" with GPT so many times.

(Try it, you might be surprised at alternative takes on things, takes which are not even necessarily conspiracy theories and such)

...Which has made me think: Maybe life is more boring, the more one thinks there are just really good one-and-done answers to most everything.

In order for it to decrease prices, the rate of building would have to outpace the rate of demand.

If you build 100 houses, but 1000 people move there, you can say "Oh look building more houses didn't help, prices still went up". It's not that building more didn't help, it's that you didn't do it enough. The obvious answer is to do it more, not to ... stop building houses as if that is going to bring prices down.
That large language models are stochastic parrots is not a bias, it's a fact. You feed it a very large amount of structured data and then put up a question which it'll answer with a series of those which are most likely to follow. There is nothing else.

Regarding your mention of rhyming dictionaries, it's perhaps not widely known, but they are not considered cheats by most songwriters, but rather essential tools of the trade, like code editors or inline docs for programmers.

If you pointedly refuse to use one you're not being more authentic, you're just making your job much harder.

At the risk of destroying the mystique of the craft, I will also say that they are not used in the way you might think. Instead of writing the second line of a verse and then looking for a rhyming word that somehow fits, it's common to compile lists of relevant rhymes to your starter material and theme, and work backwards, creating lines that connect to the rhymes. If you do this the other way around it's very hard to write meaningful verses without abandoning your rhyming scheme.
