There's a lot of hype with ruff, but I've been doing fine with black and autoflake. I have a pretty sizeable project and have never thought to myself it's problematic because it's slow.
If this was true, the universe would be teeming with life.
> but I don't think that affects the definition of a public good

You happen to be misconstruing the two definitions of "public good":

> a commodity or service that is provided without profit to all members of a society, either by the government or a private individual or organization.

> the benefit or well-being of the public.

As such, something can be a "public good" without being "a benefit".

I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me before now, that using ChatGPT is quite to similar to playing Zork and Infocom games from the 1980s, with less trial and error needed to get something out of it.

The point and click adventure games from Sierra and Lucas Arts were a huge step forward in interaction, although you didn't have to use your imagination as much to solve the puzzles.

And here we are again asking users to type their way to success.
If you want an authoritative opinion on the societal impact of something I would want the opinion of someone who studies the societal impact of things.
The article has a rather retro take on this, which is usual. But not useful.

If you view capitalism as a feedback control system, it's a system where there are many feedbacks with different lags. Such systems oscillate. They don't converge on some optimal point. That's well known.

US capitalism has so many monopolies and oligopolies that it doesn't act much like a free market any more. Three big banks, two big drugstore chains, three cellular providers... None of those look like a competitive market. The European Union did a study that concluded that price competition doesn't appear until there are at least four players of roughly comparable size. If you want a free market, you have to keep the players from becoming too big.

On the other hand, central planning within large companies is stronger than ever. WalMart and Amazon are very centrally controlled. This works much better than Gosplan ever did. The data is better and the lag is less. Gosplan had a monthly reporting cycle and an annual plan cycle. WalMart had a daily reporting cycle and a weekly plan cycle, and that was years ago.

China uses an opposite extreme - five-year plans. At one time they were mostly political statements.
That hasn't been true in years. The 13th Five Year Plan (2016-2020) was pretty much accomplished.[1]
The 14th Five Year Plan (2021-2025) is coming along reasonably well. Specific goals include 5G deployment to 56% of the population, and conversion to IPv6. Yes, IPv6 made it to the top level national strategy document.
How those get turned into lower level tasks I don't know.

Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you for your feedback. The "Back" button allows you to go back to the initial state of the game so I'm not sure as to how I'd make it unlimited. Could you please elaborate? I'll consider adding a hint, just have to come up with the animation.

Never heard about the Threes game, that's very interesting. When 2048 went viral I remember it being promoted as a learning exercise from some book a student did while learning JavaScript.
I always wondered what would finally take down Apple. Now we know it will be a financial arm.

Every normal company that gets into finance eventually pays the price. At some point, that nice, profitable finanical arm will go into distress and the company will attempt to bail it out with funds from other arms. This cycle will repeat until it either kills the company or the financial arm after it has sucked down more money than you can imagine.

Westinghouse and GE are more recent ones, but the list goes much further back.
Any known examples?
They didn’t really go anywhere.
They do not "solve" word puzzles. They output text that appears to be the best response to the prompt, based on their training data. If the puzzle is solvable by doing this, then they get the answer right. If the puzzle is not solvable doing that, they are unlikely to get the answer right.

If I ask you to multiply two (largeish) numbers together, you will be able to do so, using an algorithm/process that you can apply to the multiplication of any two numbers, whether anyone has ever told you about those numbers before or not.

LLM's cannot do this. Give them a math problem that doesn't exist in their training set and they cannot solve it. This has been demonstrated many times.
Kind of sad to hear, I like my Sculpt Erginomic Desktop and generally like their dektop PC + mouse portfolio, I even have another, cheaper, non-ergo set for my private machine
> I think dismissing an entire branch of research simply because it goes against one's argument is a little funny

I don't think it goes against my argument at all. Deep learning is a place where many structural factors are currently optimized, so it has a glut of prominent researchers. The big names in deep learning like Hinton, LeCunn, Bengio took their first post PhD appointments 30 to 40 years ago. All three put out some good work between 1985 and 2010, but all three became an order of magnitude more productive after 2010. They went from being members of a mostly irrelevant and overlooked research niche (neural networks were considered a dead end in ML) to being heads of research at multi-billion dollar companies. If it is really all about the individual, why weren't they that productive from the start? What changed? Well, the number of GPU cores hit an inflection point. Technologies for GP-GPU programming like cuda reached maturity.

As I said, there is truth to what Hamming said too. The 1920s were primed for a revolution in physics, but there were thousands of physicists contemporary to Einstein, de Broglie, Heisenberg, and Bohr who didn't do anything of note. So what set the ones who won Nobel prizes apart from the rest? That's where Hamming's advice comes in.

In other words, I can be convinced that Einstein or de Broglie would have reached the tops of their fields in any time or place and in nearly any field. But you cannot convince me that they would have made the history books if they were marine biologists in the 1990s. It doesn't matter how hard you think about where the next revolution in your field will be if there is no revolution to be had.
Or they can just filter for age, likelihood of technical proficiency (indicated by such things as education, prior employment, family, peer group, etc), and likelihood of “effective political concern” (or whatever we might call a person’s affinity for independence, skepticism, distrust of authority, knowledge of past authoritarian transgressions, knowledge of current authoritarian capabilities, and access and willingness to non-technical resources, eg time or money, needed to act on their concerns)
Why are you pretending these things are mutually exclusive?

You can, in fact, lift a country out of poverty without also inflicting an authoritarian state on the populace.

Half the world managed it — you’re just making excuses for authoritarianism. We’re discussing basic human rights, not “VPN annoyance”.
Interesting. Futuristic idea: on-the-fly generate a front-end customized to the user learned preferences. Motivation: humans are poor learners, so save them the trouble to learn a new interface style. At the limit, real-time generate a whole world-in-the-world, fulfill Zuckerberg's dream -- an utterly lonely Matrix. Now that's a thinly sugar-coated version of the Hell described in e.g. Catholic doctrine. And we will chose it ourselves. Deeply sobering.
They are justifying their current beliefs about exmormons.
Thankfully the cartoon images don't share problematic aspects in common, such as coming from an old playboy shoot. They're not even suggestive of that.
We don't have Rosie the Robot, but we do suddenly have the Star Trek computer.

In Star Trek the ship's computer just sits their waiting to be asked a question or to perform some task. When called upon it does its thing and then goes back to waiting. It is competent but not ambitious.

I asked GTP4 to help me modify some machine learning code, to add some positional encodings. It did well. I then asked it, verbatim: "Get rid of the PositionalEncoding class. I don't want traditional sine-wave based position encoding. Instead use a regular nn.Embedding class to encode the positions using differentiable values." GTP4 understood and did it correctly.

What I asked it to do sounds almost like vocab soup to me, the person asking it. It sounds like a line some actor spent an hour memorizing on Star Trek, and yet GTP4 understood it so well it modified existing code and wrote new code based upon the request.
Yeah, what could we possibly hope to learn from the "The Godfather of A.I." about the protentional dangers of A.I.

Maybe... they're better positioned to opine on this topic than you are?
> furthermore it is more humane to use terminators instead of 20 years olds clearing buildings and autonomous tanks/tracks driving though IEDs filled streets

Are you trolling? Because it's exactly this sort of "righteous war" rationale that props up empires and totalitarian dictatorships alike.

It's also human nature to rationalize evil and wish it into "good".
On a similar note, cellphones/internet allow all sorts of crime. Cars, make it easy to commit crimes. Food, allows people to use energy to fuel themselves to commit crimes. Water/boats/international trade: huge for crime. Cash, great for crime. Government, could be complicit in crime.

>It's not like Windows can update without reboot either.

And neither can Linux, contrary to popular belief. Anything that involves system services or god forbid the kernel requires a reboot.

Yes, if the kernel wasn't updated you could meticulously reboot each individual system service that was updated instead, but why bother when you can just reboot and be done with it?
I don't. I still see a person advocating for their own ability to be negligent as a result of personal preference, in the face of data suggesting that preference is a problem.

If Nazi Germany produced anything of value at all, one can hope it was clear evidence that a large portion of the population does indeed meet that definition. Certainly enough to run a state, prosecute a world war, and run a massive economy rivaling other world powers.

If client certificate UX had not been so completely terrible, there would be whole cybercrime operations and classes of attacks that wouldn't exist. Phishing, cred stuffing, session hijacking, etc - all of these would never have even become an issue. Probably the biggest missed opportunity ever, the cost of not developing a usable UX for client certs is likely in tens or hundreds of billions by now.
I've seen a lot of good things in this thread, but also a lot of innocent misconceptions.

I'm a practicing and believing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. AMA, I guess, to see if I can clear up some misconceptions.

I do have some non-mainstream beliefs for a member of the Church, but I am quite orthopraxic as far as members go.

(TIL what orthopraxy means; thank you to the two commenters who defined it!)

Just so you know, my stance is that anyone can do what they wish so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, but don't force me to say that what you're doing is ideal.

Yes, I said "ideal," not "okay." That's where my beliefs are not quite mainstream.
I think the fact that these are really Goldman Sachs accounts probably buys them some stability.
It doesn't know anything post September 2021, that's plenty of data that can be used to test its reasoning abilities and yet it still succeeds. It doesn't know specific facts about world events, but it can clearly reason about them if you give it a brief blurb about what it has missed out on - just like a human could after waking from long coma.

>the sheer volume of data we're talking about here, and some clever algorithms that find correlations in it, and can synthesize a human-like response.

If you swap the volume of data from "terabytes of UTF-8" to "decades of continuous input from the 5 senses," this doesn't sound very different than what you or I do already. The fact that it's difficult to differentiate mimicking from true thinking strongly suggests that there really isn't a difference, or at minimum not one that has any real world practical significance. If there is a scenario where the difference does have practical significance, what scenario is that? Because I sure can't think of one.
Ahh - I see - thank you @politician, that is right.
I'm quite familiar with the situation in Denver. Your criticism is that it doesn't work well if your phone dies. True, but I'm replying to someone suggesting "Uber for Public Transit". I presume that involves a app rather than a physical product.

It would be kinda neat if we standardized across the country on one app, but it's nowhere near the top of the list of things to address. Most people mostly use one or a small number of public transit systems. You can just have more than one app. Municipalities are also increasingly opening up the payment system such that apps like Google Maps and Transit are able to offer buy ticket buttons.
What makes you excited about something in the case when it's not important?

Herbal Therapy Is Equivalent to Rifaximin for the Treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4030608/

Subjects with newly diagnosed SIBO by lactulose breath testing (LBT) were given two open-label treatment choices based upon individualized treatment preference; either two 200 mg rifaximin tablets three times daily (TID) or 2 capsules twice daily of the following commercial herbal preparations; Dysbiocide and FC Cidal (Biotics Research Laboratories, Rosenberg, Texas) or Candibactin-AR and Candibactin-BR (Metagenics, Inc, Aliso Viejo, California) for 4 consecutive weeks immediately followed by a repeat LBT.

I have been taking Candibactin-AR and Candibactin-BR with my meals and have seen an improvement in my stool consistency (I have recently diagnosed SIBO/Crohn's). I was given the metronidazole for one week and it helped as well, but symptoms came back.
Well, the French villages were over civilian resistance in wartime.

I'm Ashkenazi Jewish myself, and I don't like to be the guy invoking The Holocaust at every opportunity because there's plenty of other demographics usually overlooked, and The Holocaust itself wasn't as civilian war casualties, it was state-sponsored murder, and the topic at-hand is civilians getting killed through the war itself, thus invoking The Holocaust would skew the stats on wartime civilian casualties if it was to be included relative to more recent conflicts. Commonly, the victims are counted separately: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties

But yes, it's horrifying, and I find it difficult to understand the true scale of. I've been in stadiums with tens of thousands of people, that certainly seems like a lot of lives, a lot of families, a lot of humanity. Hundreds of thousands or millions? Yeah, it boggles my mind, and it really wasn't very long ago whatsoever.

We don't need AI to fall victim to those things. Disinformation is already a major problem. And the spread between the rich and poor, and the leverage their jobs produce... is larger than ever.

One major issue especially in the US is airport congestion. There are just too many flights operating out of too few commercial airports. This configuration would increase congestion as it means more flights needed to service the same number of passengers.

Private jets avoid much of this congestion by performing most of their ops at smaller regional airports.

And good luck building new commercial airports, nearly impossible nowadays.
I'm reading Nick Lane's book The Vital Question right now and he discusses this in some ways. Life escapes entropy at the local level, but increases entropy in its environment.
