The sense data you consciously perceive is pleasant fabrication. Moreover, every time you remember something, you're not really recalling it. Your brain rewrites your memory every time you "remember" (what you're really doing is remembering the last time you remembered it), often introducing false data or inconsistencies. It's one of the reasons human memory is so fallible and inadmissible.

The reason I linked the split brain experiments is to show that what you think is the reason for making a decision, even if you "remember" the thought processes before can just be wrong. Asking one side to perform an action and asking the other side to explain the reason for performing the action ended up producing some really wild results.

You can use one of GPTs to write essays, programs, solve math problems. But all you will learn is how to write a prompt. And this knowledge will be outdated in one year or less. Do you want it?

bandwidth is almost always an issue for local terminals; a 4k (3840×2160) terminal at 120fps and 32bpp is 4 gigabytes per second, and according to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35694801, typically with ddr4 ram you get 30 or 40 gigabytes a second

if you send all that video data through the ddr4 bus twice (once writing, once reading) you're using about 20–25 percent of the machine's memory bandwidth, but the linux tty subsystem actually makes several copies and runs many instructions per byte [citation needed] so you can't get anywhere close to that in practice. especially not if you're spending a lot of time repacking bits into six-bit bytes in order to feign compatibility with the vt340, a misguided engineering dead end from 37 years ago that only supported 16 colors and 800×480 anyway

other protocols like x11 and xpra work considerably better, but x11 video reproduction on a local terminal normally uses xshm or its moral equivalent with xvshmputimage or gl. if you're on a local terminal, you might as well use x11; the only benefit to putting the pixels in the same bytestream as text is if the your terminal is connected to your drawing application over a bytestream such as an ssh connection, a tcp connection, an spi connection, or a uart

i think we could do better by designing a bytestream protocol that minimizes copies and pixel format conversions and is therefore within epsilon of the speed of xshm, but sixel isn't it, and neither is x11 without xshm. a bidirectional bytestream protocol could include flow control to also avoid transmitting pixels that won't be visible and increasing latency due to bufferbloat

as for emoji, they don't improve information density; there are only 2666 emoji in unicode 10.0, so at a maximum they convey only 13 bits of information, and they normally occupy roughly the space of two letters like 'n', so you have slightly fewer bits per pixel. people use emoji because they are cute and colorful, not because they are ithkuil. they're not

some technologies, like the unix shell, smalltalk, and tcp/ip, make hard things easy and easy things possible. others, like retrocomputing, code golf, and malbolge,
make easy things hard and hard things impossible.
sixel makes easy things hard and hard things impossible, like the rest of retrocomputing.

We do not expect just knowing the differential equations governing biological neurons to give us much insight into human intelligence. Why do you think it should be different for artificial ones?

I've read the relevant papers, I've even implemented some of them, and I do not think any of this gave me a better understanding of it's capabilities than playing with it as a black box for a few weeks.
I would assume they act similarly to Apple: quickly send you a refurbished replacement, and then go refurbish the one you sent in. For the small percentage of devices they receive that aren't able to be refurbished, they recycle/destroy.
On the one hand, she's been writing about this sort of thing for years--including at a time when when a lot of people here and elsewhere had bought into the fully autonomous vehicles next year Koolaid. And there are probably a lot fewer people running human factors labs that relate to this topic than there are former fighter pilots. That said, being a researcher who also has first-hand experience as one of the US Navy's first female fighter pilots does bring additional real world credibility--and, yes, probably makes people more likely to click on the headline.

About a year ago I noticed one of my websites going down about weekly for an hour or so. My website had one endpoint that was available in a few hundred thousand versions. Ment for the user, for the bots it was just a few thousand variants. Setup in sitemap, setup in robots and including the right meta tags. Ment to update every few months.

But we'll, not with the bing bot. It ignored my timeouts and queried hundreds of thousands, for him identical, pages every single week. Not one connection, not two or three but about 10 IPs hammering my servers at once. No second between request, not even pausing when the server is going down. Something even 'bad bots' usually do.

I assumed it was just any bot calling itself Bing. But no, it was their IP ranges.

I blocked nearly all of their IPs. Which appears to be the only way to make sure it doesn't ddos me again. Bing is like 1% of my traffic, not even worth the hustle.

I recently used Alfred app to turn my old Android phone into a CCTV when I realized there was a huge difference between how I perceived myself versus how I looked in photos/videos. One of the biggest things I improved on because of that was my posture. Over time, I kept reminding and correcting myself, and even though my mistakes were subtle, now my shoulders are relaxed and not closing forwards, and I am not hunching over. Still need to keep reminding, but less often.

(Apart from the health perspective, it makes a huge difference in how good you look and what personality you exude.)
Thanks! I've been doing too much IBM System/360 stuff and I can't remember which way to count bits :-)
On the low end, google can sprinkle in well integrated cost-optimized 'pretty good' LLMs into all their products which already have billions of DAU. It's hard for OpenAI to compete here, their models have to be significantly better to encourage people to copy and paste into ChatGPT and yet still cost effective. The high end is more interesting in that I'm not sure Google has a response to Gpt4. Specialized Palm2 models are allegedly SOTA in certain verticals but they're not generally available so it's hard to say. It's possible Google could offer a beefy model to Google One subscribers or something but they seem to be focused on the low end for now at least in the B2C arena with specialized models for B2B. I honestly don't think OSS is a big factor business-wise but it's nice to see and certainly enables more participation in the ecosystem.

The student who is sufficiently lost answers “I’m having trouble with everything!” It takes some guided questions first to figure out exactly where the problem is.

Define "know" such that humans have it and GPT-4 does not have it.
Humans work in a completely different way, and human performance is irrelevant to the obvious, systemic limitations of LLMs.

You haven't addressed the substance of the comment you're responding to, only diverted attention. Unless you're claiming that humans are nothing but LLMs...

Why can't these models run on the GPU while also using CPU RAM for the storage? That way people will performant-but-memory-starved GPUs can still utilize the better performance of the GPU calculation while also having enough RAM to store the model? I know it is possible to provide system RAM-backed GPU objects.
What kind of scale are you looking at?

I'm building UXWizz, which is on the same stack, and in my experience on a single server you can track up to 10-15 million sessions total (~1M sessions per month, with 1 year retention). To scale, for now I made it so you can have one database per domain, so the data is sharded by domain (if you are tracking multiple domains).

The biggest bottleneck is querying a large dataset, the storing of data seems to work pretty well. You could of course archive the data and automatically create stats using cron jobs, but this leads to a lot less filtering options and not so fresh data.
They are trying to make digs against auto pilot so it fits into that narrative.
> "what they were thinking before making a decision?" Human brains are notoriously unreliable, we lie to ourselves all the time, we can't trust our memories.

"Unreliable" is a far cry from "lie to ourselves all the time". Some of the time, sure. But all the time? Everything I'm telling myself is a post-hoc fabrication just like with GPT? Like you're telling me I can't even trust my memory of who my mom and dad are, or which country I live in? I'm justifying all of these post-facto somehow?
Don't jump on the assumption that you have ADHD. Get it diagnosed by a competent professional if you want to be sure. But even then, I feel like a lot of people get diagnosed with ADHD (or self diagnosed) while they probably don't have it (mostly in America is my impression).

Instead, it might simply be related to your personnality. I tend to be like you, and for me it is simply that finishing all the little details at the end of a project get boring and the new and grand ideas are more exciting.

Some suggestions:

Surrounding yourself with people who are good at finishing stuff can help, especially if it's on the same project.

Cycle between projects: when project A becomes boring, does project B become interesting again ?

Filter things to get the things that you're the most excited about and focus on the those instead. I found the book "Essentialism" to be particularly helpful for me in that regard.
Check for patterns: what are the commonalities between the projects that you are interested in ? Try to find what really gets your excited.

Finally, this is perhaps more controversial, but I recommend looking into the 4 sides of the mind theories by C.S Joseph on YouTube: your personnality type might be ESFJ-ESFP-ENTP-ENFP, and learning to leverage your psychology instead of going against it can help. It's similar to MBTI but less.. horoscope like in my opinion. Maybe the big 5 model also has something interesting to say in that area if you're more comfortable with something less novel but more accepted within psychology.
For me, learning about my strengths and weaknesses is something I found extremely useful.

Good luck!

Exactly, the people making confident statements about the inner workings of the brain are just as ridiculous as the people making the same statements about LLMs.

If you completely ignore the fact that many humans congregate on the internet to be social with other humans then sure. There's a lot of opinions, art, ideas, jokes, and meaningful life long connections that happen because of the internet. In my mind that was it's only real utility. Sure search engines are good for research, and shopping. But community, talking to people with life experience in an area of interest have changed who I am as a person. Condensing the internet into a binary, is effectively meaningless to me unless I end up on a remote island with enough battery power to look up edible plants and not internet connection...

Oh, I've been using language models before a lot (or at least some significant chunk) of HN knew the word LLM, I think.

I remember when going from 6B to 13B was crazy good. We've just normalized our standards to the latest models in the era.

They do have their shortcomings but can be quite useful as well, especially the LLama class ones. They're definitely not GPT-4 or Claude+, for sure, for sure.

Ok, but McIlroy was asked to critique it.
I suppose you could say that he was asked to critique a literate program, but that seems to me like complaining to Mr Ford, because you asked for a faster horse, and he came back with a car. Literate program is meant to solve a problem. The goal should be finding the best way to solve that problem. Not solving the problem based on some preconceived notion.

It’s an imagination where new discoveries are found.

The idea of distance being a human construct is not a new idea and may be the underpinnings of spooky action at a distance.
First: these studies are unrelated to AI and mostly predate modern LLMs, so no, they draw no direct comparisons. At best, this is pointing out two surprisingly similar behaviors we observe in LLMs and the actual functioning of the human mind.

Second: Being unable to reconstruct a prior mental state =/= remembering a thought process. I'll use an accursed programing analogy because we are on an accursed programing website: it's like the difference between debug logs and time-travel debugging. In plain language: humans retroactively reason about their thought process based on the artifacts produced by that thought process. The quality and reliability of these artifacts will vary heavily, but the reasoning itself is always backward-looking and speculative in nature.
> Paris commute times are much higher than in the rest of the country.

Do you think urbanization cancer will spare you, if you have an Eiffel Tower in your country? Paris metro area is about 1/6-th of France in population, and it's growing. That's why commute times will keep getting worse, while commutes themselves are going to get more and more miserable.

The US average commute time is weighted down by large coastal cities, that are growing like a cancer, following anti-human urbanist policies. If you look at smaller cities in the US, then it's basically a commute heaven. E.g. Salt Lake City is at 20 minutes, Boise ID is at 15 minutes.
