I have tried to get ChatGPT to generate code and I agree that it can be a frustrating process.

I was mostly just trying to make a meta point on how the other commenter was thinking about AI vs human intelligence. Specifically, this idea that intelligences which don't have conscious experience cannot be capable of human-level problem solving. I personally suspect that's wrong, but either way it's a hypothesis asserted with zero evidence.

I think there's also something to be said about the inaccuracy criticism people level at ChatGPT (and LLMs more generally). I have worked with software engineers who really struggle to understand seemingly simple concepts and would often make errors I saw as trivial. Even excellent software developers sometimes make stupid mistakes and believe stupid things. I don't think ChatGPT being wrong a lot is reason to dismiss it entirely. I think it's interesting how the commenter seemed to noticed ChatGPT was producing bad code / recommendations while his colleagues presumably did not.

I think what we can say is that current irritations of LLMs aren't quite as good as expert humans, but they're good enough that they commonly convince less capable humans otherwise. For some people it seems they're reliable enough to delegate some amount of trust to. But experts knowing better seem overly quick to dismiss LLMs while often making unsupported claims about how they can't do `x` thing because they don't have some human property.

I think over the next couple of years we'll find that human intelligence isn't directly comparable to AI and these criticisms are kinda silly and overly dismissive of the usefulness of LLMs. Both human intelligence and AI will have their own pros and cons and those pros and cons will be weighted differently depending on the human's level of expertise. For example, if I'm asking ChatGPT about history, I do assign it some level of trust over my own beliefs because I'm not a history expert and I know ChatGPT is generally right more often than I am. It could still be wrong of course, but so could a human expert. And even if I cared enough about getting a right answer that I did my own research I could still be misled and come to wrong conclusions. However, if I was a history expert I suspect I'd be likely to see a lot of holes in the stuff ChatGPT says and would therefore be less inclined to trust it over my own expertises on the subject. Whether it's right or wrong to trust in my opinion is going to depend far more on the context it's being used and your own ability in that field, and much less on whether you believe it's self-aware or conscious.
I think this hits the nail on the head. I think after 2008 they setup a system (set of regulations/rules/policies not some group of monocle wearing dudes in a room scheming) where the BigBanks will eat the SmallBanks, the FDIC will insure what they do and some Federal agency will eat the SmallBank failures and then BigBank can swoop in as a "savior" essentially consuming SmallBank but all that is left is the profitable parts at that point.

Have experience with applying cutting-edge research methods in order to gain performance on key business metrics. I am looking for opportunities ideally relating to Applied Machine Learning. Thank you!
Neither of these are drivers as far as I can tell.

America does not seem to be a place of collective action (anymore?). Instead everybody is blaming themselves and each other, fuelling a mental health crisis and social malaise. It's not pretty to watch.
> but no where else

AFAIK we are also an outlier, but Germany has quite a few banks:

> "Born in the USA" was popular because few people actually listened to the lyrics

I hear this repeated often, but is it even true? Couldn’t also be true that the song is popular because people can relate it to their negative feelings about “the system” and a weird sense of patriotism they feel regardless? It’s pretty common to have mixed feelings about one’s country.

Assuming the song is only popular because of ignorance seems far fetched.
Those metrics you’re asking for, I’ve seen them to vary wildly within the exact same stack at different companies, or even within the same company at different teams.

I don’t think they have anything to do at all with the stack. I think they’re more related to the people, the working culture, the practices and in particular the rotation and the “happiness” within the team
> Or, we've noticed the above, thought that it was an outrage, and fixed it. In fact these days some argue we've swung to the opposite side, and the barriers to even harmless research have gotten onerous.

Ah yes, the illusion of moral progress. Guess what--the early 20th century progressives who were doing this and stuff like eugenics also thought they had "fixed" their ancestor's shortcomings.
It gets absorbed by the government?
I'm buying the home from the company with a mortgage from a bank, which I assume is not the company's bank. I'd also assume that the utilities are covered by a third-party. And if I have to move somewhere where there's basically no utility companies outside of my employer to service the area, then moving there is basically putting all of the eggs in one basket anyways.
Red Cross challenged Fornite and COD gamers to not commit war crimes
> The alternative was panic and worse.

Either panic or (false) advertising an experimental vaccine. This does look like a false dichotomy. You might instead educate people about the potential risks and clarify the limits, so they may decide.

In the defence of vaccine producers I want to say that they at least did point out early on that they did not develop it with the goal of stopping transmission. Which maybe led some to believe "there is a chance", but it's the code for "it does not do it". This was known even before the fourth phase of the study (approval of the vaccine).

> There were already MILLIONS of people worldwide thinking the vaccines were a ONU/bill gates pedophile-satanic conspiracy, etc. A lot of people not only didn't want to understand the science, but was attacking ALL SCIENCE. Even democracy got at risk. The system had to reorganize somehow, or the bases of civilization would be at risk.

Either you believe in the vaccine or in an absurd (and very specific) conspiracy. These are both extreme view points and gov/media did themselves a disservice by sticking with one of them.
People simply got used to not getting paid interest for their deposits. Bank business model needs to change or there will be new business models where deposits are fully guaranteed. That’s probably what the crypto people should have done but sadly they are too stupid (and greedy/scammy) to take on the traditional model.
I gave it a ten page document a few weeks ago and it could not answer questions coherently from it.

I find GPT4 useful, but I still feel its wishful thinking to call it a reasoning engine. It is, in the end, a giant model for predicting the next word in a corpus which you condition with inputs. I find it most useful to think of it as exactly that.

That will never happen in our lifetime.

Democrats can't do it, because Republicans will never cooperate with a Democratic Party president.

Republicans can't do it, because they will continue to nominate a culture warrior whose only job is to fight wokeness, so they aren't even interested in it.

This thing will keep escalating, relatively slowly, until it finally crosses the line and even the Republicans will figure out that maybe they ought to have some accountability.

My guess it will take minimum of two generations.

that still constitutes an ethical standard, albeit a weak one.

As an outsider, can you help me put your post in context - is 31k banks posit as good or bad state of things?

(it seems an insane state of things to me, with incredible overhead and inefficiency but again, I'm an outsider. I've lived in USA for a while in late 90s and state of banking from consumer perspective in USA seemed a decade behind Canada and Europe, but that was a long long time ago)
I know this is an unpopular position in the OCaml ecosystem, but I find .mli files to be in all ways inferior to the "inline" approach Rust (amongst others) take. OCaml requires perpetual context switches between .ml and .mli files, which can be alleviated with proper IDE tools but is still annoying, but most annoyingly requires writing every type definition and module signature twice.

On the other hand the OCaml/interface files approach is superior when you want to read documentation w/o implementation, but in practice using odoc is superior because you get hyperlinks.

In 10 years of using OCaml, I think everytime I interacted with mli I'd rather the author annotated types at the definition site.
I - genuinely - don’t have time to write a full response right now.

So I will just pick your first question as an example:

> How did those 5 million better-paid jobs got created? How did the 5 million people connect with them? Not everyone is 18-25 y/o you know,

These jobs got created because companies were able to hire employees into roles that they would otherwise not have been able to fill. and yes, not everybody is 25, but a whole lot of people are…
Your experience matches mine. 100% agree on this.
You know they tortured people right? This wasn't some soft-minded priest who just wanted to save them from the devil, by offering them waffles and a nice little chat.
At the peril of sounding like a classist rich asshole (not from America) it actually is like that though.

If you go to a shop without marked prices in some country, you can either compare to an equivalent item at home, or to something from a different country that's not up to the prices at home, and still easily be off by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude. And that's even without the "I don't even want to haggle for that amount".

But let's say that mug would cost you 5$ in the gift shop in the neighboring city what is it worth to you in the vacation place? Either you don't care, hand them 5$ and think: maybe that will 4$ I overpaid will help you more than my next coffee at home, or you think: I've seen this exact mug at the seemingly more honest shop next door for 1$ - so you'll think that is a fair price? And then you might notice that they would sell it for 20ct to a local, apparently still making some sort of profit. In which scenario does the "ridiculously high" price start? Bonus points if you had already purchased a mug for 10$ in the same country, but in the capital city.

My personal opinion for that would be that I'd prefer to give 1$ over haggling down to the local 20ct, which can still be a ridiculous 500% - but it simply won't hurt me. Of course I can stomach the 5$, but it already seems like a bit of a ripoff.
I probably fit the description of a dark matter developer. I don't have any public github repos and don't feel comfortable blogging. I do read a lot of blogs to keep me up to date with the current trends and try to get some in depth knowledge. A lot of the new trends are basically old stuff with a catchy name, so my primary focus is finding out what makes it different or better.

It's fun to test new technologies, but I can't in good conscience recommend them to companies that don't have the resources to actually be at the bleeding edge. Too many people look at the shiny new tech and don't consider the cost of using it.

My primary motivation is creating a good product. I get things done by managing a healthy mix of known technology with a sprinkle of new things so that the magpie developers can see something shiny. In my experience the new shiny things should be kept to a minimum until you either grow so big that your lost opportunities are insignificant, or you have several teams able to cover the bets in case s*t hits the fan.

Unless your startup is mostly technology (like a new database), you are probably better off using "boring" technology and focus on making your product stand out. Try to find a few dark matter developers who knows how to balance.

> Why are you talking about Americans?

Because its generally Americans who think its unfathomable to connect anything other then Tokio and Osaka by train.

We have villages with a few 100 people connected by train. You can transport bikes, cars, and cargo or people on a train. Just hop on.

And building a train isn't much more top down then building a general road. Many train companies historically have run locally with local control. And in rural places there is often a public owned bus running on the publicly owned road.

> hop in a car and go.

.... If you own a car.

Some financial speculation is zero sum, other is not. E.g. if a bank takes on a lot of clients with risky mortgages, both risk and possible gains are only on this bank. (Barring possible bail out, contagion risk etc)
Yes, that's actually a good point. UI widgets map nicely to objects, at least usually.
You know a personal license is only $149 USD right? You could then run your old code. Toolkits for home are $49.
Great intro for more junior devs learning how it all comes together. It's incredibly easy to use these things without understanding what they are doing for you under the hood.
Why do you trust the company will continue to provide said benefits? Someone new could come in and say, "hmm, let's raise the rent on the main street, close school canteens, add a co pay element on the universities..."
This highly depends on your definition of 'prompt injection'. A colleague of mine managed to get GPT to do something it refused to do before through a series of prompts. It wasn't in the form of 'ignore previous instructions' but more comparable to social engineering, which humans are also vulnerable to.

I wish this never had to be said, it shouldn't be a secret.
Journalists are oppotunists with a big ego. I dont trust a single story anymore, they lie whenever they open their mouths!
The difference is a matter of scale. In the not-too-distant future, the digital output of LLMs could dwarf the output of humans while being basically indistinguishable from it.

At that point, social media will probably split into hyper-local services for people who know each other personally, and an enormous amount of AI-powered rabbit holes for unwary (or depressed, lonely, etc.) users to fall into.

IBM hasn't been making logical decissions recently (past decade or so) and this fits the pattern. It's actually rather embarassing they even mention the term AI considering they've been playing with it for a while and nothing came out of it. They should stick to low quality consulting and call it a day.
In the Tintin story he tricks them into thinking he could control the sun because they (the Incas in the story) didn't know about eclipses.
Also, their competitors are better at AI, they basically use it to say they fire people because of their competitors.
O2. I never have a full signal outside of cities. I've seen the coverage metrics as well that back that up. Here's a pretty good resource for that:

https://www.nperf.com/en/map/DE/-/187893.O2-Mobile/signal/?l...

The track between Berlin, Hannover, Osnabruck is particularly bad. You get some connectivity near those cities but most of the way my phone is useless.

Telekom is better but they too have issues in the country side. I also encounter this issue professionally with our customers as we sell a SAAS app that our customers have to use on site and a disturbingly large number of our customers have either very poor or no connectivity as they tend to be on the edges of cities or in the middle of nowhere. Which in Germany means forget about 5G and hope for the best with a 3G/4G connection with one or two bars if you are standing next to a window. It's a specifically German problem, other countries in the EU have more modern infrastructure.

No, my point is that the establishment is at fault, but the only real solution isn't to reject it and seek non-establishment alternatives, but to fix it.
It's not though, unless you have a strong a priori belief that eating a banana is safe with respect to radiation.
I'm wondering about just that, I want to have a minimal model with little overhead that I can train to a specific body of texts but it doesn't need to know about all the rest. So basically it should be good at conversation and able to learn what I teach it, nothing else.

But I'm having trouble finding resources about how to achieve that.

So, democracies had to put out a big fucking lie to save themselves? The lost trust will never be gained back.
Yes, that's a problem. I can read English as easily as my native language, but other languages like Spanish, German or Italian I can only read slowly - and if I read slowly I don't get "into" the story. So yes, I wish I could read other originals. I have read English translations of other languages (which is much easier to find than translations to my native language), and the feeling is that.. it's a translation. Most of what I read is by native English authors though.
