I use c-a and c-e all the time, but I keep putting accidental ƒs and ∫s in non-emacs forms.
I skim read the paper, the key bits I saw were:

> First, given an LLM and an unlabeled dataset, we prompt the LLM to generate output labels along with rationales to justify the labels

> Second, we leverage these rationales in addition to the
task labels to train smaller downstream models.

This doesn't sound like online use of LLMs to me, but rather using them to pre-generate augmented examples.

At the end of the paper is this table:

Dataset Train Validation Test
e-SNLI 549,367 9,842 9,824
ANLI 16,946 1,000 1,000
CQA 8,766 975 1,221
SVAMP 720 80 200

Let's do a back-of-envelope calculation:

OpenAI costs "gpt-3.5-turbo: $0.002 / 1K tokens"

let's say each rationale consumes 250 tokens ...that's $275 to augment 550M examples in e-SNLI dataset

Even if that estimate is quite far off in terms of token count, it seems like it'll only cost a few thousand dollars at most? GPT4 costs 10x as much.

It's more than I personally would ever want to pay as a curious bystander/hobbyist, but it doesn't seem like a serious "moat" to competitors.
How do they make it a nightmare? Are we sure it's not just that 96% of business owners use Google maps or maybe Apple maps and don't even know what OpenStreetMaps exists. I think this is more about network effects then anything. If they really want to break googles geo spacial business data monopoly.
I think if Apple/Microsoft/OSM should band together and make a simple tool for business owners that can update your details on Google, Bing, Apple Maps, and osm simultaneously. Although I am not sure if Google exposes that through apis or not.
I'm paying but hate the UI. I had to add labels myself as a Tampermonkey extension, but it would be much better if they would give API access to what I'm paying for and let UIs compete.
I don’t think that people -_love it_ or _fall for it_ per se. rather, people don’t have much of a choice but to accept it unless they can afford to fly private.

> Increasing tax rates will lower government revenues though as history has shown.

History has not shown that.

An entirely unempirical claim and a napkin diagram are not the same thing as “history”.

> It’s a maximization problem under a curve not some simple linear equation to determine where tax rates should be set. We are arguably close to already having a rate that yields the most collection.

“Arguably” is a claim that a reasonable argument with some basis beyond pure speculation can be made for the conclusion offered, but…I’m not seeing the argument for the claim that there are no tax rates in the current system of taxes which could be increased that would lead to a substantial net increase in tax collections. Care to present the argument?
IIRC some compilers have taken this to the extreme, adding parsing rules for outright invalid syntax like missing semicolons, so that they can give cleaner error messages.
The privacy issues almost seem moot at this point to be honest. Everything on Facebook is either a scam, scam adjacent, or some kind of grift. It's actually incredible to see how Facebook has grown over the years. It's like the SPAM inbox in Gmail, but prettier and sprinkled with posts from "friends." Instagram has gone the same way.

I would say that, "Maybe I'm just getting old," but when I actually look at the humans on Facebook "interacting" with "content" they are all decades older than me. More and more Meta reminds me of QVC.

I could have done with them not removing the perfectly functional and reliable Apple Watch support that I paid for just to update their app to shove ads about other products in my face. I spent too much on this setup to get spammed and lose features.

> I've seen interleaved lexing and parsing, where the recursive descent parser asks for the next token, which is computed on demand.

You even get this for free in a lazy language like Haskell, where your parser can accept a list of tokens `[Token]` whilst the list itself is only computed on-demand whenever the parser tries to get the next one.

Well, except for the context-sensitive option:

> (and as a consequence, it's natural to let lexing be context-sensitive where needed).
It would make more sense to ask the user if they wish to transition from the trial into a subscription. If they don't, consider giving them an exit survey.
IT. IS. A. CAR! It takes you from Point A to Point B! Nobody needs to watch TV in their car! Nobody needs subscription services for heated seats or 0.2s off your 0-60mph time! Nobody needs cameras replacing their sideview mirrors! Get rid off all this bullshit in vehicles.

6-speed manual, adjustable seats, a GPS/nav screen and radio/aux, and a damn cupholder is all anyone needs from a car. Everything else is just a bunch of accessorial crap that usually detracts from the form factor of a functional car.
Simps is a strange choice of words for a post on hackernews.
I’m not arguing that. I’m saying the bar is higher and pay relative to value has decreased for all other than at the upper end. Easiest way to think about this is look at percentage revenue paid to engineers.
This nicely outlines all the reasons I'm building Chisel [1]. There are other writing apps out there, but they are closed source. It's not clear to me what value they are adding, as the biggest value add -- LLMs -- are already open to the public. It makes a lot more sense to me to develop an open source writing app, where others can pitch in and everyone can reap the benefits.

I think it is fundamentally important to have an open source option. I'd love to have more people pitch in to make it better. One big limitation right now is, users are limited to 50k tokens a month, because everyone is using my API key. I'd like to move it to an electron app where users can put in their own API key, or even use a model they have set up locally.

This would make more sense as a comparison if adding two or more modes of operation hadn't taken more work than just having one.

I think the "it's rent-seeking" position would be weaker for toggling entire features on and off—the specific example of unlocking better acceleration was them adding a worse mode just so they could charge a subscription for the better one.
> I'd just like to point out that Tesla's performance upgrade, (which is software only) unlocks screens to tune how the drivetrain works.

No it doesn't unfortunately (I bought it). Elon tweeted years ago the in-app/in-car purchase for the performance increase would get the drivetrain tuning screen that the Performance models have, but it has never shipped.

The feature, similar in concept to Mercedes here, $2000 (one time) "acceleration boost", adds/unlocks ~50hp and reduces 0-60 time to under 4 seconds on the dual motor non-performance model 3s etc, but you don't get any additional screens.

> https://www.notateslaapp.com/tesla-reference/1040/tesla-acce...

"Although vehicles with Acceleration Boost have better performance than their Long Range counterparts, they do not include Tesla's Track Mode feature."

"track mode" is the extra screens.
One data point here. Trying to quit cold turkey in my 20s and 30s always led to massive headaches, but in my 50s and 60s, no problemo.

35c/hr seems crazy expensive compared to Midjourney. Midjourney gives you set fast hours (Immediate GPU) and unlimited relaxed hours (Delayed GPU). It also has a lot of built-in parameters you can use to easily tweak images. I'd rather pay for MJ than run my own SD.

The main upside of running your own SD is that you can completely automate it, but I'm not sure how useful that really is.

It's not open access.

As far as such things go it seems like a reasonable balance of humane consideration and legal prudence.
> Suburbs can support great public transit, and it would be cheaper than cars for everyone.

While I agree... there is no way Americans will forgo cars. Americans love our rural and public and wild lands too much to not be able to simply visit at moment's notice.

Having lived in Europe, I understand how this works there. Europeans don't have the same relationship with nature that Americans often do. The ones that do usually have cars.
Whose thought comes first depends entirely on where you draw the starting line. You could just as well say ChatGPT has already chosen to ask you for a command, and it's you who are just following along.

Of course ChatGPT was designed and trained to do that. But then we're also designed (by evolutionary forces) and trained (by parents and teachers) to do what we do.
Yes absolutely agree, but in some cases, like this one, it's more a symptom of the way OpenAI was not permitted by way of terms and service to grab my data.

Facebook for example know it's you because you signed up to the account.

It can’t and won’t cause any disease? I’m on the side of MJ as medicine and for recreational use, but we really should pretend that because something is an ancient medicine that it’s somehow incapable of causing harm.
By our current understanding of computational logic, I wager not. But if we were to construct a metaphysical grounding to addition (which I rationally believe is impossible), then ChatGPT could conceivably arrive to the uniqueness of certain kinds of addition and their relevant uses through neural network machine learning. But this would amount to reverse-engineering humans by humans themselves. Can any group fully know themselves? I suspect with proof it's impossible, and that the 'explanatory gap' can only be minimized, not removed entirely.

This is my experience too. While I'd really love the Open Source models to catch up, currently they struggle even with dead-simple summarization tasks: they hallucinate too much, or omit essential points. ChatGPT don't often hallucinate when summarizing, only when answering questions.

> big models by OpenAI and Google that are much better (raw) than anything that was open source recently,

When you say "models" do you mean TRAINED models?

Wouldn't the best training and supervised/feedback learning still be in the hands of the big players?

An open source "model" of all content in the open internet is great, but it has the garbage-in/garbage-out problem.
Yes-- a classmate uses it. They do @everyone announces in their server every day, and while you can mute actual notifications, it still adds one to your badge count. My attention is too valuable-- that would get me to cancel my subscription.
I think a lot of people use one type of mapping application that doesn't seem to work for them and then say OSM is not great.

I've had to try a fair few mapping applications that works for me (I can recommend Organic Maps on android)

OSM map data easy exeeds Google map data, the only time I do use google maps is for street view images and satalite info.

Bing is good in the UK because that has Ordnance survey maps - OS mapping data is generally better than OSM (for what I need it for)

> And it's a "well regulated militia", not a free for all.

I think it's intended to be closer to the latter than the former.

The text of the second amendment is: "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".

If as an analogue you said, "A well stocked Library being necessary to the education of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Books, shall not be infringed", would you support the idea that only accredited librarians could have books?

Besides, the "militia" includes every able-bodied male between 17 and 45.
FTA: "For example, in Denmark, the incidence of schizophrenia steadily increased from 2000 to 2012 (Kühl, Laursen, Thorup, & Nordentoft, Reference Kühl, Laursen, Thorup and Nordentoft2016), and the schizophrenia population attributable risk fraction (PARF) for CUD increased three- to fourfold over the past two decades, parallel to increases in THC concentration (Hjorthøj, Posselt, & Nordentoft, Reference Hjorthøj, Posselt and Nordentoft2021). The increased THC content may thus, along a potential increase in the prevalence of CUD, be a main driver of the population-level increase in PARF between CUD and schizophrenia."

The explanation "increased THC content causes more schizophrenia" is clearly more plausible than "more schizophrenia causes increased THC content".

Try not paying property taxes for a while and you'll find out who owns your land.

Actually, pay property taxes to the wrong state and you'll find out (distant relative owned land on an island in a river. The river changed course and the land belonged to a different state, unbeknownst to distant relatives who then lost their land)
I think in a different time, we'd be able to say that it's become a farce, but ideology doesn't allow that thought to creep in. Even at the height of the cold war, we'd have contrarians and simple sympathizers who tried to nudge us --eventually both sides realized that the other wasn't the evil one thought the other was and that eventually allowed for Gorbachov and Reagan to have constructive dialog. But who in their right mind would be _convinced_ without a doubt that it was Russia who destroyed the pipeline cutting their nose to spite their face? It's so stupid. Even Saddam wasn't accused of being that stupid.

> What the critics leave out is that the WEF was saying that people would be happier not owning anything.

Given that happiness is often a cultural construct (wildly different things make people happy dependent on the cultural context), and that many WEF members are cultural influencers the critics response is that the current people will not really be happy, but the WEF will arrange the culture so that future people are. Any outside group conspiring to change your culture is a normal cause for alarm.
Until they discover it isn't. I'm predicting a lot of this gets rolled back as used cars buyers are more sensitive.

Used car buys will look at this as the without model. Maybe this will work out as a lot of used car buyers don't care about speeds they won't go anyway (though they should ask if this was ever on as that does put more wear and tear on a car). I don't think this will work out for things like heated seats: the buyer will want a car with heated seats and one with a subscription for heated seats is worth less money to price sensitive buyers.

> As mentioned, what is better, MS Paint or photoshop?

Metaphor is useful, but this feels overly-reductive. The gap between the amount of effort it takes to make something great or approaching the vision you had is massive between MS Paint and Photoshop. Not so for SD and MJ.

However, I am appreciating that SD seems to be clearly better if you need something more specific / precise. I don't think I'm convinced (yet) that because it can get more precise inherently makes it a better tool.
I don't have google maps on my phone at all unless I visit in the browser, and I use OSM through Magic Earth. I wouldn't go back, but it is a huge pain and sometimes I do have to just open google maps in a browser window. It doesn't usually have hours of operation, doesn't usually have links to websites. It can't find businesses by name easily (it often seems to require the exact name to by typed in), and it definitely can't find businesses by service (searching for "sandwiches" will not show you a list of local sandwich shops, it will do something like teleport you to a street called "Sandwiches" in Ireland). And even if I have the exact address, I will still sometimes end of thousands of miles away or with no hits because the street name was written differently. Honestly, it's of very little use to me because it can rarely take me to a new place.
Most binaries were still 32-bit for performance reason, and I don't think that Java 1.2 had a 64-bit port yet, not even on Solaris/SPARC.

The situation that an x86-64 build is faster than an i386 build of most applications (exception extremely pointer-heavy ones) is a bit of an exception because x86-64 added additional registers and uses a register-based calling convention everywhere. That happens to counteract the overhead of 64-bit pointers in most cases. Other 64-bit architectures with 32-bit userspace compatibility kept using 32-bit userspace for quite some time.

Google maps is at least getting better about screen real estate. I have an android head unit, and Maps clearly assumed you'd always be using Maps in portrait mode, because the bottom bar would clutter up the bottom of the screen with "local stuff near by you might be interested in" if you weren't actively navigating.

Eventually switched to Waze, which is now also cluttering things up with (basically) ads.
Every individual company has an incentive to be a bad actor when it comes to subscriptions (or dark patterns in general). Apple is a regulatory authority acting on this tragedy of the commons. Apple has created a situation where it has a near monopoly of force when it comes to apps in the apple'sphere and is using this to the benefit of consumers.

It's no wonder people prefer apple's walled garden to libertarian android. Being able to force apps to act in a specific ways makes the experience as a whole better. Given apple's market share amongst people who can afford it, I would say the free market agrees that the Apple way is better.

That is really nice but not quite the same thing imho, "vim-keybindings" is more than just mashing hjkl. Is is putting keybindings up front and a way to reason about shortcuts. You can often imagine shortcuts you've never even used before and be right surprisingly often.
