That example is really shockingly good, indeed. I'm not always convinced that GPTs can be properly artistic, most things lack soul and read like some
rambling Dan Brown on amphetamine... this DFW works very well.

It gave me the same vague feeling of annoyance and disgust at the "look how smart I am" linguistic obstreperousness I get when reading the real deal.
There are lots of people paying for Plus by now, even more using the API. With their prices as relatively steep as they are they should be rolling in income by now. As long as Microsoft keeps throwing money at them it's irrelevant anyway.
A couple of issues with the title. The 1st is that archive.* not resolving isn't accurate. archive.today and the other domains associated with it such as archive.is fail to resolve. archive.org which is not associated resolves fine. The same for archive.us (a parked domain). Also the title implies the issue is with Cloudflare when the issue is archive.today refusing to answer dns requests from Cloudflare.
the output is rather fantastic it's mind numbing. would DFW think this is a solid example of prose?
That’s not the advantage for me: even when living in the middle of the largest cities around - once across the street from the office - I preferred remote work since it is designed for those who deliver value rather than those who cosplay value generation via socialization and micromanagement.
Isn’t cost perhaps the main factor? There are many factors for many people, of course, but it seems like usually living near the downtown center is much more expensive than living in the suburbs, at least in terms of price per square foot. If prices are higher in urban areas, that suggests there’s evidence people actually are eager to live downtown, but suburbs are also very popular where I live as a way to have more space for the same price, or a lower overall price; you can get a newer larger house with a larger yard for less money in the suburbs compared to downtown, but the catch is you have to drive everywhere even on the weekends.
Hmm, that could work. And also Youtube as platform could charge you for delivered content. So set high per impression price and if you get more views than add revenue Youtube would send you a bill. Could work, could work.
Given that gov.uk is already so surveillance happy, I’m surprised they haven’t just mandated ID cards and then required SIMs to be linked to one of those or a passport

No, I'm talking about the API waitlist. Still, I'm using https://nat.dev/ to access GPT-4 so I don't care that much anymore.
Escape velocity energy from an orbit is sqrt(2) times the energy it takes to get to that orbit. But it’s more than ~41% more fuel, since you need more fuel to push the fuel, and more fuel than that to get it to orbit in the first place.

Much cheaper to let the atmosphere drag it down, which is something that is going to happen anyways.
I think the keyword you’re looking for is ‘sensor fusion’, which apparently is only a problem for Tesla because the others have figured it out years ago. Perhaps there is a talent gap at Tesla or an unwillingness to invest in it. They generally avoid having to do anything that’s hard and try to look for shortcuts.

Case in point: the whole radar removal and reintroduction flip flop. It seems like they don’t believe themselves that cameras are sufficient.
The people who live there might only want those amenities. As work from home continues, we shall see what grows up. Probably a whataburger.
To me, remote work makes cities a more attractive place live than the suburbs. A family doesn’t need 2 or 3 cars anymore. You can live and work in a walkable neighborhood and get most of your errands done during the week, avoiding times of congestion. Work from a cafe or park instead of a basement or garage.
It is. For API access you have to create an account at https://platform.openai.com. You pay per 1k token. For API access to GPT-4 put your organization (org id) on the waitlist.
I think you might be right here, but what does that look like exactly? Stop companies distributing cheap SIMs? Force them to get ID from any customer?
> A helpful rule of thumb is that one token generally corresponds to ~4 characters of text for common English text. This translates to roughly ¾ of a word (so 100 tokens ~= 75 words) - https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

32,000 (tokens) * 4 = 128,000 (characters)

> While a general guideline is one page is 500 words (single spaced) or 250 words (double spaced), this is a ballpark figure - https://wordcounter.net/words-per-page

Assuming (on average) one word = 5 letters, context ends up being ~50 pages (128000 / (500 * 5)).

Just to put the number of "32k tokens" into somewhat estimated context.

It will be interesting to see how far this quadratic algorithm carries in practice. Even the longest documents can only have hundreds of thousands of tokens, right?
Those startups will move on to open source models because OpenAI api calls with 32k token contexts are way too expensive.

I was waiting for a while, but then I found there was a page where if you selected "I want to build plugins" then you would have never seen the option to request them.

Once I filled that in I got access within a few days.

https://openai.com/waitlist/plugins

If you are the person to say: "I am a developer and want to build a plugin"

Then it is likely you missed the option to request which plugins you want access to.
The token limit is for the whole conversation, system, assistant and user messages all count.

Once the limit is hit it will stop, sometimes mid sentence.

I have a slack bot at work with a system document which is a little over 1k tokens, meaning there is around 3k tokens left for questions and replies.

Trick I am currently doing is to prune older messages to keep it under the limit.
Or just mandate warmup periods like we do with spam from IPs.
The text also kind of blanks the part where 2/3rd of world's nuclear reactors are PWRs, with typical water boiling temperature around 275°c.

Overall, the piece is a very flattering take on the technology, where all drawbacks are forgotten, and the comparison with competitors is not really honest.
Again, frustrating. I’m an antibiotics researcher with oodles of data and I need ChatGPT plugins/API to make any real progress. (I’m kind of in this intellectual space on my own, so other people can’t really help that much) I’m not sure why I’ve been on the waiting list for so long now.
> > It's completely unnecessary. There are many other ways to say what the writer means by "comprised of". It adds nothing to the language.

I wonder if the editor read "1984" and straight up copied its ideas. In the novel, the totalitarian state of Oceania uses that exact same justification to promote the use of the Newspeak language:

> After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? ... Take ‘good’, for instance. If you have a word like ‘good’, what need is there for a word like ‘bad’? ‘Ungood’ will do just as well—better, because it’s an exact opposite, which the other is not.

Y'all are fucking scary I'm just extremely thankful we actually have rules of medical ethics that are enforced rather than letting you and this wannabe Mengele run wild.
Musicians need to know the sharps and flats in different keys in order to transpose, and musicians need to be able to play something they have rehearsed accurately, and musicians need to be able to play all across a large range.

Testing scales tests all of these things, and more simultaneously. I fail to see the problem. If you're as good at sight-reading as you say, you can just read the scales off the sheet music and play them all perfectly the first time, so what's the problem?
That’s a good thing. Maybe then people will stop fixating on whether it’s sentient and acclimatize themselves to the fact that it’s just an inanimate tool for us to use.
Pretty good summary of all the stuff that goes into a DIY build videos. Now I just show the finished product and talk about some of the design details and problems solved along the way. I think there's a lot of value in this sort of content, but I haven't made enough of them to know if it's something people actually want to watch.
Transformer-based LLMs seem a much more fundamental advance towards AI than Watson, but at the same time very primitive. Watson's Jeopardy win was over 12 years ago, and if we project that far ahead (2035) I'm sure today's LLM-based AI is going to be looking pretty dated too !

Connectionist, maybe gradient trained, AI seems here to stay, but no doubt future systems will be more brain-like in terms of capability, and not at all obvious how much of this simplistic pre-trained transformer approach will be retained.
SQLlite, no question.
How worried are you about copy cats ruining your business?

I didn’t realize Tesla’s team was so small. Both companies have truly done incredible work!

It’s funny watching HN comments trying to tear down Musk and Tesla while their software—which has driven billions of miles—continues to just get better and better.

I love that we have these companies all investing billions of dollars on trying to solve this problem in very different ways. Truly a beautiful example of capitalism at work pushing technology forward in a way that (sooner than you think) will be saving millions of lives and trillions of dollars.
Yes, the first line of the article. The rudder on the yacht fell off, so they were towed. In the middle of the pacific, the likelihood of a tow is low. In that case, you can fashion a rudder out of a line and a bucket.
This conversation has gone back in a circle though. The original parent comment here pointed out that none of the arguments given for why it's a "misuse" hold water. "I can't see how eliminating a common misuse wouldn't be clearer" is not a responsive reply to "it's not a misuse."

My understanding was that part of the requirements for sales tax remittance is that a business must setup a tax entity once the total sales threshold is reached.

Yep, and then someone will go and build the reactor beside the ocean and a tsunami will swap it, or by a river for its cooling waters, and oopsie a flood.
I was going to make a similar comparison.

There is a lot of dismissal in this discussion but there are people here like me who buy macbook pros that are solid/overbuilt, beautiful, just work without maintenance, and have very limited upgrade paths.

If I had the money and property I might be tempted. “Point and shoot” is the phrase that comes to mind. The thing looks like it will work the few times a year I remember to get excited. You can let friends have a go and take requests throughout the year, etc.

But I don’t have the means so I come here for the valuable alternative clues!
You can't even define sentience so what makes you so sure which other things do or don't have it?
Yes.

Parent's spaghetti examples weren't the most illustrative.

What I believe they're griping about is that "10°C does not have 10x as much heat as 1°C."

In actuality, "10°C has 10x the difference in heat that 1°C has relative to the freezing point of water."

So it's a comparison definition quirk, not a numerical one.

While students getting a music education degree have to learn all the instruments, they typically have a primary instrument that may or not be piano. If piano isn't their primary instrument there's no reason they would know how to play all the scales before starting the degree.
What does it has to do that will qualify it as artificial intelligence ?

In my opinion, all the ingredients are there for artificial intelligence. Somebody just need to stitch everything up. It can understand text, reason about it, identity next steps, can write code to execute the steps, understand error messages and fix the code. That feels like AI.
I have sailed on the Oosterschelde (1918). One journey I was supposed to be on was cancelled as the diesel engine broke down and the insurance is not valid without a functional engine, even though we would sail 99% of the time.

The Oosterschelde once rescued a single sailor from his boat that was sinking in the middle of the Atlantic (I wasn’t on that trip).

Suburbs have uniquely hostile road geometry for pedestrians, that's why they get a bad rap, but it's also a security feature.
1000% this.

It also means that the company is incentivized to continually add features that will lead to new sales, rather than improve existing features to make the product better for previous purchasers.

I want to subscribe to pay for the products I depend on. Because I want to be an important stakeholder in product decisions. I do not want the company to consider me as sunk profit and a drag on expenses from here on out.
Does it incorporate the return code of the commands to get an approximate good/bad rating? I wonder what percentage of the CLI mistakes I make return zero anyway because it's a valid command that I simply misused.
I don’t get this argument - every other type of software, whether bare servers, Office 365 or Google docs, image editing, etc. is moving to SaaS or cloud-hosted but LLMs are going to go the opposite direction and be more desirable to run locally?
Thanks for this Micael, very helpful info and your channel is pretty cool too!

Regarding the weekly video, are you saying you’d spend about 15-20 hours per week on that one video to get to the status you were at last year?

I’ve heard that regular releases are important for a channel to be picked up properly by “the algorithm”. Is this your experience, and is that a critical to keep up the cadence of one video per week?

I make music videos (basically myself playing keyboards) and have never really gotten a good long-term traction with “the algorithm” yet. Sometimes I get a burst of impressions for a few days with corresponding views and subscribes, but these come and go. I release ever few weeks, though some of my videos are shorts, or just a few mins long for a single song.

I think a weekly release would be a real challenge, but maybe that’s what is needed to get to the next step? For me the real time sink is all the time arranging and practicing to get to a point I’m confident to even film myself playing.
I don’t think they are very comparable. Winning Jeopardy was an amazing feat and impressive, but the general public didn’t get its hands on IBM Watson to use for their own problem solving.

I did help a consulting customer, a long time ago, try to use the Watson NLP APIs, but I was not impressed.

I am 90% retired and in my 70s but I still do a lot of coding and writing for my own enjoyment. Even in my retired lifestyle, the OpenAI APIs (and Hugging Face models) are so useful and easy to use that they have changed the way I work. I feel like most of the busy work is now stripped away and I can be more creative. Bing+ChatGPT search has also been transformative and I look forward to seeing what Google builds Bard into.
Is it prorated for the actual context used for each request?
A screwdriver is really dangerous. If you stick it into your eye you’ll go blind. It would be insane to do that.
Such risks are probably not things that we as a society should let prevent us from having screwdrivers. Ditto for gpt.
Given that neither Google or Meta or any other company or open source solution is even coming close to the performance of merely the publicly released handicapped version of gpt-4 (no image interpretation, plug-ins is not fully released, etc), OpenAI might not have a moat (I’d argue there is a moat: the moat seems to be only a handful of people in the planet seem to be smart enough to innovate at this level), they have a year or more headstart and are clearly exploiting it and not slowing down. So yeah if I could buy openai shares I’ll buy it at a $500B valuation at this point.
I'm a bit confused about what part of this is news? I was under the impression that the generally accepted story for why the US intelligence agencies failed to stop 9/11 was that they saw each other as adversaries and actively concealed information from each other. We now know some more details about how they fucked up, but none of it's very surprising?
I’ve never understood the point of taking a probiotic unless you’d been taking antibiotics first. The various ecological niches in your gut biome would already be populated.

There is pretty minimal labeling of probiotic capsules in the grocery store (grr, Orrin Hatch) but then again nobody really knows anyway. I had my gut cleaned out due to a heavy course of antibiotics last summer and just repopulated it by kissing my partner and eating unpasteurized joghurt. Not especially scientific either, but it worked.
No driver wages tho!
Why can’t static analyzers analyze the main cpp that #include-s the actual code? I don’t understand that point.

The drag introduced by the bucket would help align your boat as a makeshift drogue. If you can find a way to rig it up so you can adjust the angle from port to starboard, you could very roughly steer.
> Once the limit is hit it will stop, sometimes mid sentence.

Oh that’s why GPT does that in a long thread.

It makes sense in retrospect it’s the whole conversation not the individual messages.

ChatGPT UX has much to be desired, there should be error messages that communicate this stuff better.

ChatGPT lets normies use natural language to do complicated stuff that used to be only accessible to engineers ... so, no.

The winner might not be something called ChatGPT though.

The AutoGPT stuff is pretty ridiculous...

- ask GPT for the steps to perform a task

- then for each task ask GPT, hey you're good at coding, can you code this? or if not can you break it down into more detailed steps? and add those to the queue

as GPT gets smarter this type of agent workflow seems like it might work quite well for a lot of high-level tasks.

This.

People are perfectly able to install and run their own PostgreSQL databases, or Kafka brokers. The software is free and doesn't need much resources.

Still, MSFT is selling its PostgreSQL-as-a-service and Not-quite-Kafka-but-similar-enough-as-a-service thing to a shit-ton of corporations which maybe once had the capability to host this for themselves, but have lost it while they migrated all of their stuff to the cloud. And they do so at a hefty premium.

The same thing will happen to LLMs. Anyone will be able to run an own, custom-trained variant of sufficiently capable models on their own hardware. But most corporations will not do it. Just like they don't operate their own Kafka broker. They will instead pay a lot for MSFTs cloud service offering, which of course comes with the crucial promise that their data is safe and secured and handled in a way that is compliant with all privacy laws. Which of course isn't true, but that doesn't matter, the promise is what matters. And currently businesses largely believe that promise, which is why the MSFT/Azure connection is indeed the actual "moat" of OpenAI.
I think that having the "Quick Phrases" feature for the alarm is not the smartest thing ever from Google's part
Maybe LLMs upend Metcalfe's Law? But I agree, the amount of velocity of a 2-5 person team using LLMs is astrounding.
This seems to almost do what I need, but not quite; I wonder if I'm mistaken or if someone knows that one of the other dotfile tools would suit me.

The major gap: Some files belong to external repositories (not all git), and some of these have contents that cross dot-directories. e.g. project repos A and B both contain material that should end up in ~/.local/share and material that should end up in ~/.config.

In a strong sense, syntax and semantics are adjoint.
