> It'd be much more interesting to get an honest insight into the views of the Chinese & Japanese leadership on what they think they are getting out of this.

Industry. They wanted it. They got it. This is how.

Remember, debt substitutes exports in the balance of trade. Issuing debt pumps assets and dumps exports. Buying debt pumps exports and dumps assets. Countries buy US debt because they want to pump exports. They want real jobs building real things with real infrastructure and real machines.

I wouldn't worry about China getting short-changed. I'd worry more about the implications of the US offshoring its industry. The implications to hard power are obvious, but the domestic implications are more consequential for most of us:

It was kept alive internally by Apache for a while later — https://incubator.apache.org/projects/wave.html. Very interesting why it failed as a project in two separate companies.

I've been able to get it to write functions for me which I can then plug into a larger system.

As an example- I have data representing a cylinder defined like so- {radius: x, depth: y}, give me a function which takes this object and calculates the volume of the cylinder.

It is unable to understand the context to deliver a feature end to end, but if you can give it the fingerprint of a function you'd like it can implement it for you (sometimes)
but now they added this task switcher to iPad which also appears when dragging from the left edge, and now going back is like rolling a dice. you don't know how how to go back without triggering the task switcher so it ends up taking multiple attempts to go back without the OS consuming the input
This is why its important to reverse mentor executive leadership so they better understand best practice usage of LLMs.

I obsoletely see benefits of tools like ChatGPT through the entire lifecycle of a product, however not as a replacement for things like good requirement elicitation, architecture, and product market fit.

In the near future I expect companies to train models on their internal code base/documentation allowing developers to learn about available libraries, API usage etc.
To be honest I've thought about it a number of times, and I'm noticing that it's getting better and better each year; at some point it will pass 1P for me (since I'm such an Apple addict) that I'll probably switch over.

One other useful tell if someone is showing you a screenshot of chatGPT is that GPT-4 uses a black logo avatar, where 3.5 uses a green one.
> "We" now want stricter copyright law when it comes to AI, but at the same time shorter copyright duration...

This gross generalization of other people's views on important issues is really offensive.

My view is that the Copyright Act of 1976 had it about right when they established the duration of copyright. My view is that members of Congress were handsomely rewarded by a specific corporation to carve out special exceptions to this law because they wanted larger profits. "We" didn't call the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 the "Mickey Mouse Act" for nothing. It's also no coincidence that Disney is now the largest media company in the world.

Reducing copyright term extension has everything to do with restoring competition and creativity to our economy, and reversing corruption that borders on white collar crime. It has nothing to do with AI. Don't recruit me into some bullshit argument that rewrites history and entrenches Disney's ill-gotten monopoly.

If they're going to try to strong arm a professor for his personal opinions, why would they think it would work against a LAW professor?
The US military essentially landed on a similar solution.

- Regularly rotate personnel
- Reward review by a random board

The rotations prevent cooperation of "adversarial" parties from corrupting the process.

A review based on a blend of quantitative metrics (basics/table stakes) and qualitative metrics (everything else) prevents quantitative-metrics-gaming from dominating.

The system has a ton of flaws, is inefficient, and produces suboptimal outcomes a fair amount of the time, but damned if it doesn't scale.
"Bond reform designed to make sure no one stays in jail while their cases are pending with no safety net to handle more criminals on the streets, shorter parole periods, lower sentences for repeat offenders, the malicious and unnecessary prosecution of law enforcement officers, the overuse of diversion programs, intentionally not pursuing prosecutions for crimes lawfully on the books after being passed by our legislature and signed by a governor, all of the so-called reforms have had a direct negative impact, with consequences that will last for a generation."

Hero. This guy worked 20 years for the county. Not only quitting, but "pulling up stakes and moving out of Illinois" because of the crime he sees in his own neighborhood which has grown since moving there.

These activist DAs in certain states are ruining the country by letting crimes go unpunished as a means of "restorative justice". You see this in schools now where the bullies and aggressors are given passes for their behavior.

Let's hope that this only takes a generation to swing back the other way. Feels like it will take longer.
Please consider revising your future comments to not flame people. This is an emotional response to what the poster said, and frankly validates some of his point about the fierce loyalty to LLMs despite lacking understanding. You can happily challenge that in a dignified manner.
ChatGPT is more than an interface, the models it uses have gone through additional training and modifications.

> Someone telling you that they did something cool with ChatGPT probably means GPT 3.

This seems like an incorrect assumption. 3 is very old at this point, 3.5 is free and the best demos are based on 4 which is a huge improvement compared to the previous versions.
Maybe, but so they aren't capable of living in a 100% transactional capitalist dystopia. As evidenced by everyone popping neurol (or another coping mechanism) with ever increasing frequency.
Yup. I've gravitated towards difficult domains in my career because they serve as a very effective filter on the people actually applying for them, they keep me sharp, and people that have needs in these areas tend to less of the stereotypical "idea people," that are looking to milk those who can execute.
> Cheating ultimately cheats oneself, but it's very galling that it's now becoming accepted as okay behavior in American society

Man, you crushed it here, so true.
Because I usually know which folder contains what I'm searching for, 98% of the time I'm able to find what I'm looking for quickly using the filter bar. This ends up being a much better experience for me than the search tool.

Because the filter bar doesn't put you in a new UI, you keep the benefits of continuing to use list/message panes: (a) UI context not lost, (b) the matches shows as a list, not the hard-to-scan context results that are default in search, (c) clicking on matches shows the email in the message panel, allowing you to quickly find the right message. The filter bar also lets you quickly toggle if your filter term is the recipient, sender, subject line, or message body.

I wish the UI design of the filter bar could be the basic search tool, expanded in some way to allow for search within multiple/all folders, and slightly more complex searches (specify filters for person AND subject line). Perhaps when you click on the profile in the mailbox panel, the filter bar continues to show, letting you search on all folders. If in a parent folder, there could be a checkbox to show/filter all messages in child folders.

The existing search UI could still exist and be used for advanced searching.
I get your point, but skill also plays into quality.
Thanks so much for the kind words.

Double checking a book when figuring out treatment is not cheating, it is normal. Cheating for a doctor would be going with the feeling without double checking.

However, when learning for exam, it is cheating, because exams define minimum set of stuff that you should have in memory at that point.
Could you? Do you have to? Would someone pay you to implement an FPGA design, given that you know nothing about it but have access to GPT-4? In practice, I've found that the advantage it might give you quickly ebbs out. It surely helps filling details and blanks though.
He'd write a bunch of books making excuses for the failings of his approach.

Soviet Capitalism never existed. The Russians barely made any effort at enshrining a just rule of law, protecting individual rights, including protecting property rights.

One of the first things Putin did when he took power is to begin destroying individual rights (so as to bolster the power of the state), which market based economic systems rest upon.

My use of authorization was a bit vague.. what I meant is that with your scheme, you implicitly assume I want a particular application to be authenticated.

This leaves the user vulnerable to someone else launching accounts on providers they don’t use, that point to your verification record.

It’s much more secure to add a DNS record for each system (maybe even each instance/user) as you are explicitly authorizing access to that application via your domain.
Technically true, but none of these are relevant to the modern financial system.

Decoding OpenAI Evals Framework
Accuracy & Hallucinations is one of the MAIN challenge for adopting LLMs in production. Evaluations as part of CI/CD and in real-time are very good counter-measures.

While amazing techniques & libraries exist for this, there's little literature on how to use them in production. Tried writing a detailed blog that decodes the OpenAI's evals framework and goes step-by-step through how to use it to your advantage.

You can learn how to use the eval framework to evaluate models & prompts to optimise LLM systems for the best outputs.

> There doesn't need to be any advantage. They're not causing any disruptions - nobody should be telling them where to put their property.

Bollocks. Even on silent it's disrupting someone's attention, if only the owners.

And those under 18 years old aren't adults, and are wards of their parents. They're required by law to go to school and during the duration they're wards of the state. They don't get to own property in the direct sense that actual legal adults do.

> It's perfectly understandable they want to have it under their own sight and control. Touching it without permission is unacceptable.

They're kids, you think they're going to agree to that? Confiscate em -- put em in a box at the start of the day -- or else make them stay at home.

> I have seen kids steal stuff from the teacher's desk/other school property when I still went to school - one kid even stole a RAM stick from a school computer right during class. I would never trust the school's ability to keep my phone secure.

Then they can keep those phones at home.

> Also - the school day is not 100% class time, there are breaks in between. What they do during breaks is their own business.

This isn't a job -- there is no expectation of freedom in between classes. If they're in the building they're still wards of the state. They're just not in classes.

Listen, if this was a 19 year old on a construction site, I'd agree with you, but there is plenty of legal, moral, and basic cat-herding involved in having kids at school. You wanna get treated like an adult before 18 then drop out and get emancipated, otherwise thems the breaks.

>>California’s gun control laws suppress the rights of many people

Seriously?

I have a relative who lives in CA and bought a pair of AR-15s a few years ago, just because...

I've never seen any serious gun proposal that would actually infringe on any actual right. They are all about ensuring that background checks apply to all sales, waiting periods, red flags, etc.

People seem to forget that allowing any mentally ill incompetent full and immediate access to the highest caliber and rate-of-fire weapons at any time is the exact opposite of "a well regulated militia" (citing the exact words of the Second Amendment which grants that right).

Please cite some actual legislation entered for consideration (not right wing "They're coming for our guns" rhetoric) that would actually restrict that right for any sane, stable, and responsible citizen. This is not a rhetorical question, I would like to know if there is any actual such legislation proposed.

And no, I don't consider restricting weapons above certain levels of high power, high caliber, high magazine capacity, high rate-of-fire, etc. to be illegitimate. I actually think it should be a sliding scale of qualifications according to the above criteria, e.g., kid's 22 requires a basic safety course and you're good to go, but semi-auto high-power require solid marksmanship skills, combat training, proof of mental stability from licensed psych, insurance, etc., and all qualifications mean you can be called up for militia service at any time.

So, seriously, under "as part of a well regulated militia", what actual proposed legislation in any state would actually restrict such a right?

Assuming low or no contention, it is easy to imagine a scenario where a mutex vastly outperforms it: if you need to push a 1000 things into the queue, it's still just two fences for the mutex but it's now a 1000 CASes.

Moreover: the point with mutexes is that your data structure can be the optimized assuming no thread-safety. There are lots of, like, hyper-optimized hash table variants (with all sorts of SIMD nonsense and stuff) that are just not possible to do lock-free. The very "lock-freedomness" of the datastructure slows it down enough that in low contention scenarios mutexes clearly would outperform them without being particularly contrived.
Have they? Querying 3.5 through the completion API does not return meaningfully different results than doing it through the website. Aside from the extra functions like plug-ins that most of us can't use yet, the main difference appears to be everything on the website is forced through the moderation API as well.

Somebody at Mozilla a while back had the idea of using the browser telemetry to find off-by-one errors due to bit flip, which were correlated with cosmic storms. Interesting, but not definitive results:

https://blog.mozilla.org/data/2022/04/13/this-week-in-glean-...

I have access to some massive number of API logs for my job. So it was easy for me to do something similar - most bit flip errors would result in a 4xx of some sort, especially 404.

Every time there's a huge magnetic storm, I run a query to see if 400's go up correlating with the storm. I even filter the logs for the geo hardest hit. Nope. No correlation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So how exactly is this a "huge, far-from-certain bet" by Microsoft? It sounds much more like Microsoft signed a low risk deal.

If the reactor works, Microsoft gets the benefit of fusion power. If the reactor doesn't work, Microsoft gets paid penalty fees.

I was really hoping for a scathing review of the old AT modem protocol. My understanding is it’s still what’s used by cell phones to communicate with their cellular modems.

Calling Wikipedia "knowledge" is being generous. That label is mostly its self-important marketing.

Wikipedia is actually a reference that's oh so cheap and easy to access that its unreliability doesn't matter. It's what you use for "answers" when it's not important that you get the right one (or for pushing an agenda onto lazy information consumers).
