I don't know if we're close, but it seems like a lot of people have an implicit assumption that AGI means we created an artificial person. When in reality whatever intelligent things we create in the digital world are not going to behave like people. I mean, an AGI didn't poop its pants in 3rd grade or have a disapproving father or get ridiculed by a bully or a million other things that people normally go through in their lives that lead to their quirky personalities.

Agreed. In fact, if you go back through my HN comment history (not an exercise I actually suggest mind you) you'll see that I frequently harp on the distinction between "human level" intelligence and "human like" intelligence. Where in my lexicon, those are distinguished largely the absence of actual reference to human experiences like "getting ridiculed by a bully" or "pooping your pants in 3rd grade" in the case of "human level, but not human like" AI.

I think not everyone agrees that this distinction is important, or maybe they just haven't spent enough time thinking about the implications. But I believe it is important to call this out and make clear which scenario we're talking about in many (most?) contexts.
Personally I'm using these tools for coding, research, and writing. Anyone who doesn't understand how much they can accelerate these tasks when used effectively are going to get left in the dust. I've spoken to colleagues who don't seem to get it as well, it's strange to me
How would this work with a step that isn't divisible into the range for the field? Given minutes 0~59/25 with a random offset of 0 there will be an event at 0, 25, and 50 minutes past the hour. On the next hour does it start at 0, 15, or a new random offset? i.e. constant offset, constant step, or regenerated offset.
I Made a ChatGPT Microphone Chrome Extension (Open Source)
TL;DR: Created a Chrome extension called ChatGPT Microphone for voice-to-text with ChatGPT, featuring hotkeys, shortcut snippets, and a seamless design. It's free, ad-free, and open-source. Looking for feedback, suggestions, and potential use cases.

Hey everyone! Just a quick disclaimer for the mods: ChatGPT Microphone is a free, open-source tool, and I'm sharing it here so others can benefit from it too.

As a software engineer who chats with ChatGPT more than I talk to most actual humans (don't judge ), I wanted a more efficient way to communicate with it than having to hammer away at my keyboard all the time. I explored existing options like Voice Control and others, but their interactions felt a bit clunky and slow, with extra steps involved. They seemed more focused on hobbyists and accessibility users, rather than professionals who appreciate speed and simplicity. So, I decided to build my own Chrome extension: ChatGPT Microphone.

The extension adds a mic button to ChatGPT that looks and feels native, with CMD/CTR + M hotkeys to toggle it on/off. The most useful part IMO is “Shortcut Snippets” - when you say certain keywords, it will quick-inserts custom phrases into the conversation, like text replacement with your voice. For example, "only changes" becomes a detailed prompt asking ChatGPT for specific code changes, and "new segment" creates a paragraph break with a "---" separator.

Also, it’s free, ad-free, and open-source. Fellow devs can contribute to improving it.

I'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or questions. If you find it useful, let me know your use cases and what features you'd like added to the ChatGPT interface.

Yes, I asked the question facetiously...I worked in equity research for consumer products companies, and you see this (alarmingly) at good and bad companies.

"We did X, it went very badly...don't worry, we have fired the consultant who was responsible"...the question you want to ask (but cannot) is then: why I am paying the salary for the monkey, not the organ-grinder? The worst part is that I have seen this at companies that are doing well, you just have to accept the fact that you are getting pickpocketed by a bunch of idiots who control the money printer.
An artist's interests disappear after their family is reasonably compensated after they die, in many cases.

While I completely disagree with "Life of author + 70 years", I'm very much a fan of 20 + 20 and other platforms, where things are protected for, for example, 20 years and then if the author is still alive, or recently passed, they get another 20 for their lineage.

Imagine an author finishes a book as their way of securing their family's future.

> Add a one-byte option into the header, give it an unassigned value (e.g. 6) and assume that any box that does not understand it will pass it through unchanged.

As many have found out, unfortunately "any box that does not understand it will pass it through unchanged" is frequently false. What often happens is that a box which does not understand it silently drops the whole packet, under the mistaken impression that it's an attempt to invade the network.

> Use it as the most significant byte of the address, and obsolete all routing equipment that doesn't understand it from the backbone

You'd have to not only obsolete all routing equipment, but also all end hosts. Consider what happens when host A, which does not understand the option, receives a packet from host B, which has an address which requires the option; the reply packets from host A will never reach host B, since host A doesn't know it has to add the option.

These "just add another byte" solutions are often proposed in these discussions, and look deceptively simple at a first glance, but fall apart once you start looking at it in detail.

Lucene has 2 limits:
1. Only supports 1 vector per doc. The doc content will have many vectors. You will have to store the chunks of one doc as different docs in Lucene. If you want to leverage Lucene's fields to store doc's metadata, such as title, tags, etc, and fetch them in search, need to work around. Also if you still want the traditional keyword search ability over doc content, better to keep as one doc.
2. Max vector dimension is 1024. OpenAI embedding is 1536. Lucene has discussion on increasing it, but there are concerns.

I love my solar powered triple sensor g shock watch. I keep it in a window to get light every day when not wearing it and it's run fine for 10 years and counting. The lack of any smart features or wireless connectivity is a feature IMHO. It's got three main sensors (atmospheric pressure, magnetometer, temperature) and all the interface to access them on the device. It's perfect.
Sure. I've lived on the countryside as a kid, it was before the village had a sewage system built. We not only had RO, but also a tiny waste water processing plant in the backyard, you'd put a spoonful of some powder in the tank once a month or so, and the "cleaned up" grey water would slowly trickle out and irrigate the vegetables in the garden. This was around 2002. I'd like to live like that one day again.

"Is it likely, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that Musk, who has stated multiple times in hundreds of interviews, and company statements, and videos that the company created on websites entirely under their control, would or would not have made a statement materially and structurally similar to this one?"

Also, how good was deep faking in 2016? The video has been around since then. Is Musk's argument that this was a long con to sue Tesla seven years later?

And then you have the concept that all it would take is alternate footage of same statement, B-roll, etc., to add to the "what, were all these deep fakes, too?"
The dividend keeps the stock price high, which is good for both shareholders and employees. Cutting employment is how you manage to pay the dividend when you losing money. Not paying the dividend would crash the stock price and make lots of things harder.

If you believe Intel will be profitable again in the near future then paying the dividend really does make sense. Unfortunately there have been lots of companies that thought that was true when it wasn't and the dividend is how they ran out of runway quick.

Lets start with the assumption that what you are doing at a hypothetical startup is already pereto efficient. That means that if you attempt to improve your architecture in one way it will mean a trade-off against something else. The most common sort of trade-off like this is how long it takes to make some change to the product vs how scaleable the architecture is. Another might be the total effort to make a change vs the ability for multiple large teams to work on the product in parallel.

If you are a startup and you have not had at least one phase of explosive growth which proves your market fit exists and you have found it, then you should always optimize for a solution that is just 'good enough' in every other way, but is the fastest possible to build and ship changes. You will die from not finding market fit, and if you find it you can turn your attention to scaling the product, or whatever else you have to solve. Don't 'design your data architecture' until you have to.

And for the love of god, never use micro services at a company that has less than 500 software engineers. Microservices are *BAD* for everything except allowing lots of people to work together. It is the most complicated, least efficient possible way to build software except where you have no other choice, which you almost always do.
Yes, yes, brand new account, tell us more of these feminists who split their time legislating against trans people and abortion.

Obviously, some TERFs exist, but for the most part the modern (post-2010) transphobia movement is a conventional far-right movement and tends to be allied with the homophobes, the anti-abortion crowd, and so forth.

There has, lately, been a certain level of discomfort amongst actual ye olde TERFs about the nature of their new allies, but when you make a deal with the devil, you have to expect a certain number of meme-obsessed Nazis to show up to your events.

And yet, looking at a list of the top 10 tech companies in the world (by market cap), not one comes from Germany. The top seven are all from the US. Only one from Germany in the top 20 - SAP at #17, with a market cap of less than half of the #10 company.

So maybe it's not a much better system.

Well, my point was that explicit memory and "skill development" (as one kind of what is known as "implicit memory") are fairly different. No matter how many times you retrain GPT4, it isn't going to learn to drive a car.
While I also think it is a good system, it should be noted that the capital side has a majority in any vote. So if the representatives of the capital side agree on an issue they can always ensure they get their way. Furthermore, at times employee representatives are targets of direct or indirect corruption. So there is definitely room for improvement.
Well it's a legal defense and IANAL. I think what they are getting at is that the US gov and these groups have a long history and they are allies more often than not.

I think it is both an awful idea and very common. In the early stages your database looks very similar (if not identical) to what you want your API to look like, so it's very tempting to reduce boilerplate by having your API and database objects use the same data structures internally.
But it might do something else to the planet that isn't beneficial to biological life.

'Let them eat cake'.

There is a pov that societal interdependence is a fact, and that means that societal actions must ultimately be benefitial to the society at large.

This point of view can then hold that liberal market economy is a good thing because it promotes and engenders productive social activity (induced by economic self-interest) that then results in greater societal well being. So here the "economic self-interest" is the frosting on the cake: the cake is "productive social activity". So we in the liberal West go and congratulate ourselves in that our 'greater good system' is also 'better for the individual' as well. It's great!

But, some in our system do not hold to the view that societal interdependence is factual, or even if it is, it is desirable. To them, the cake of our system is "economic self-interest" and the societal well-being thing is, frankly, a nuissance, a "cost of doing business".

This is the germ of the issue, imo.
> I don't think that less employees/layoffs directly correlates with less productivity.

True, AMD is able to spin new CPU designs with quite a few less people because they seem to be better at leveraging design automation. Jim Keller went to Intel to try to improve their design process and make it more productive, but it doesn't seem like he was able to turn the supertanker in a more productive direction. Lots of cultural inertia there.
same, I can't decide if this clever and going in the right direction, or solving the wrong problem the wrong way. very unique, either way

Ok, hear me out on the (albeit unlikely) doomsday flow chart…

It’s not about the replaced workers, that’s the kind of change humanity can handle no matter how messy it gets, worst case it’s some kind of class uprising worker rebellion and we have ourselves some war or social unrest and a variable number of people die… not great but definitely not an existential risk. It’s equal to or less than climate change on the “how bad will this be to humanity” mathematics of civilisation.

Now the danger scenario… so we invent an AGI, and unlike the just going to replace some basic minimum wage type jobs … this one’s actually “clever” enough it can be put to work on building more sophisticated things, like perhaps an even smarter AGI, built faster because it’s worked on by a group of first generation AGI units that never sleep, and so we get to the second generation much faster, and then perhaps a third… etc… classic singularity scenario, with all the attendant risks of the AI viewing us ass irrelevant before we realise it yada yada yada…

But that’s not the only risk, there’s the “photocopy burn” risk that we run by having technology we don’t fully understand build technology we barely comprehend… even if the first gen AGI is smart, if it’s remotely human like using inference to get ingenuity, it can probably still make the odd mistake or two, so we get our careful well thought out safety instructions conveyed to the second generation systems… just a little wrong… and the little wrong turns into more wrong with the third because the second gen systems doesn’t quite think the way we expect it to and doesn’t have the safeguards working the way we think… and then eventually we wind up with a sufficiently smart AGI that is fully either sociopathic or psychopathic and has zero compunction doing things we find abhorrent in order to achieve the goals it’s set, and it may be in control of systems (or able to take control) that are sufficiently important that this can also turn into an existential risk…

It’s entirely plausible, but I don’t think the doom sayers are being realistic about the timelines… we’re barely able to get the AI/ML to reliably stick to a script and not hallucinate fake shit… the best results at human behaviour require sophisticated supporting logic and memory systems to augment the black box ML stuff… and these support systems give us levers we can use to control the rate at which we allow systems to progress… I don’t think we’re ever going to get a black box set of weights for an ML model, no matter how sophisticated the code, that somehow is self aware… there’s probably going to need to be a lot of that support software, and I’m pretty sure we’re going to develop things to filter stuff out as part of them like “never write “kill all humans” into the short term memory” seems smart.

> No societal consensus believes itself to be cruel and violent and chaotic

Plenty of ancient civilisations celebrated their cruelty and capacity to deal violence as a competitive advantage (e.g. the Spartans, Vikings, Nazis, Mongols and Aztecs, et cetera). Even contemporary American society celebrates its military power. (No civilization celebrates its chaos, almost by definition, as that’s the antithesis of statehood.)

The Ultra is a bit better but battery life is definitely a downside. However, as soon as you get below the better part of a week of battery life you pretty much need to remember to charge now and then. I'm not sure there's a big difference between charge every couple of days and charge once a week.

On the other hand I never have to remember to charge my cheap Timex.
I never understood the desire for sesame seeds in the first place. To me, they only add an annoying texture. I would probably pay more for a bun without them, given the opportunity.
