>The source is endless direct and to the point statements in Chinese by the leaders of China.

Would you be so kind as to point to a link where such "endless" statements are recorded "direct and to the point"? Primary sources are fine. I don't need translators.

Making egregious claims while providing zero proof whatsoever is a sign that the only thing you are serious about is manufacturing consent.
I agree. A quick test:

I had ChatGPT4 encode your post into emoji, ChatGPT3.5 decoded it as "I don't know, but I'll search the internet for an answer. I wrote a song that goes from happiness to sadness to love... Can you help me find the right lyrics?". GPT4 was even worse with “Thinking, no good idea, but the world is under a microscope. Writing music leads to happiness, sadness, and love... Looking into writing music, but no strength in writing books?"
I’m waiting for policy level regulation of some kind of all social media. It’s difficult because access to social media and internet has much good in it, but also there is much bad. I think it is too much of a drug this point for our society though, but certainly it has changed the playing field in many good ways (and bad).

First, note that I also pointed to Java spending years developing a reputation as one of the only things you couldn't install through the package manager for legal reasons.

People who don't care about Stallman's zealotry do still care about that and it presented a similar lasting problem to Java's Linux uptake as the problem D had more broadly with two competing and mutually incompatible standard libraries (Phobos and Tango) in the early years.

As for the GUIs, I listed three different ways unique to Java that Java GUIs were subpar on Linux:

1. Needing weird workarounds for applications to not display blank grey windows on non-reparenting window managers. (Basically, if the WM was something like a tiling WM that didn't reparent it from the root window to a WM-provided "titlebar and borders" parent window, the app would refuse to render anything without enabling the relevant hack.)

2. Caring so little about solving known bugs that slipped through QA that, for a shamefully long window of time, users with more than one monitor literally had to hex-edit their JVM to intentionally no-op the XINERAMA detection to make applications work. (i.e. XINERAMA being the X11 extension that allows Windows/Mac-style "one desktop stretched across multiple monitors" multi-head instead of the older "Behaves like a software KVM and applications are trapped on the monitors they opened on" Zaphod mode.)

3. Having some kind of input-response latency that I've never seen in another language or toolkit, which is apparently caused by something so fundamentally Java that it's present in every Java toolkit I've checked.

As far as greybeards go, I think we'd need more data points. Eric S. Raymond is quite an old-guard guy and even had some "jumps to conclusions"-y, "it's not enough like C"-ish reasons for choosing Go over Rust (eg. No `select` as part of the standard library, ignoring how Rust intentionally keeps the standard library minimal), but had no problem with using Python where it was suitable, while he didn't like Java because it was was more of the ChromeOS or Android school of doing stuff on top of a POSIX base.

Also, as I noted then, the study is pretty limited by the fact that it only included patients at one hospital. We don't really need the same weak study linked here multiple times by partisans.
i was a university lecturer teaching a large foundation subject. at the start of semester i would show them how to plagiarise, summarise and obfuscate an essay — on-screen in real-time. it was lots of fun. we also showed them how our assessment practices were resistant to cheating (using a mixture of oral presentations, reflective writing, monitored testing and group moderation). it seemed to work well with very little plagiarism — except for those students who ignored (or missed) the message.

No, I understood your point and I agree sending the email and getting some type of read receipt is necessary.

You seem to think that because of this client validation should be skipped. On that point I disagree. If you can tell that it's not a valid email address (bigtunacan@goog obviously invalid since missing a TLD) then no email should be sent. Good UX is to let the customer/user know there is a mistake in the email address.

this problem is just an exacerbation of the longstanding duel between students and educational institutions caused by incentive misalignment due to credentialism. the proposed solution of using "ai-proof" evaluation techniques seems a bit like conducting a coding interview and not letting the interviewee check documentation (in the real world, you're encouraged to use this tool), but realigning higher education around the current year's best ai model is also a laughable prospect.

knowing the type of student I was, I would have heavily used chatGPT for assignments in the same way that I always used sparknotes. but now when I want to learn something out of intrinsic motivation, gpt4 is an extremely valuable tool (of many in the toolbox), and someone attempting to take it away from me would be doing my education a disservice. it's impossible to solve the problem that this article presents without addressing the underlying forces on students causing external regulation vs students being intrinsically motivated to learn

This is typical of public health organizations, they completely ignore reality which actually makes their advice worse than useless because people ignore it altogether instead of at least using it as a guideline. Sort of like when you go somewhere that says the speed limit is 5 mph. It's not even possible to drive that slowly so you just ignore it entirely.

This doesn't explain the reported discrepancy between the feeds of users in China compared to those in the US. Reportedly, Chinese TikTok recommends educational videos and generally affirmative content to teens, whereas the recommendations on American TikTok tend to be much darker.
The person you're responding to is saying the abstraction is not the system, much like the map is not the territory, just a metaphor that is easier to work with.

Those are more mainstream solutions than what I'm doing. I'm working to beat C++ OpenGL game performance. Most applications don't need to do that. And they don't need to idle at 100% of one CPU, redrawing every frame, as games do.

> I’m a student you have no idea how much we are using ChatGPT

And honestly, I don't care much if they use any automation tool in their homework. They go to (and pay for) school to learn. If they're using tools to augment their learning, good for them. If they're using tools to fool others and themselves, it's their loss.

You can't get the cat inside the bag anymore, let's focus on improving education instead of redoubling efforts to desautomate things.

Popular argument might be for the driving direction to be local to the orientation of the sun for the majority of commuters to be able to use canopy to prevent glare. For example, north to south flow in morning (NYC) would be LHD & reverse in afternoon.

> IMO it's a break in property law to have a contract that says "You own the property and have all it's liabilities (like taxes) but you do not have the right to sell that property to a willing, SEC qualified, and able buyer".

Once you enter into a an options contract with your employer you are bound to the terms of the contract. You can refuse to sign I suppose.

More important though is to understand that the limitations you mention lower the value (increase the risk) of the options.
If we take the argument from first principles I'm not so sure it leads to your destination. Are atoms more or less complex than the things they comprise? And is that complexity not encapsulated by the emergent system that forms from that atomic substrate?

I don't know if these open source models will be better. The one's I've seen so far have been pretty terrible. OpenAI did a million little hacks to get the LLM to produce such good responses. Even google couldn't figure out a better way to train their model than to fit it to GPT responses.

This may be a heretical opinion here, but open source doesn't always win esp if its an incredibly technical task and it costs a lot to train and host. Why didn't open source get us a reasonable search engine? Why isn't LibreOffice as good as Microsoft Office? Why do we pay for any software?

I mean sure, you can always cheat. You can pay someone to write essays for you or take your tests. But watermarks would be a huge step forward to detect AI generated content.
I understand your skepticism, and I acknowledge that the concept of semantic similarity is indeed an approximation. However, it is an approximation that has proven highly useful in a wide range of practical applications.

Semantic similarity methods are based on the idea that the meaning of a word can be inferred from its context, which is a concept known as distributional semantics. In essence, words that occur in similar contexts tend to have similar meanings. This is not just a heuristic, it's a well-established principle in linguistics, known as the distributional hypothesis.

In the case of large language models, they are trained on vast amounts of text data and learn to predict the next word in a sentence given the previous words. Through this process, they learn to represent words as high-dimensional vectors (word embeddings) that capture many aspects of their meaning, including their semantic similarity to other words.

These models can generate coherent text, answer questions, translate languages, and perform other language-related tasks with a high degree of accuracy. These capabilities wouldn't be possible if the models were only capturing syntax and not semantics.

The 'why' is because these models learn from the statistical regularities in their training data, which encode both syntactic and semantic information. The 'how' is through the use of deep learning algorithms and architectures like transformers, which allow the models to capture complex patterns and relationships in the data.

I hope this provides a more detailed explanation of my argument. I'm not trying to 'pull rank', but simply explaining the basis for my claims. I understand this is a complex topic, and I appreciate your challenging questions as they help clarify and deepen the discussion.
My favorite languages are Rust and Elixir, and yes the lack of static types is my one gripe with Elixir.

It's a little bit better than what it might look like on the surface level as you do a lot of pattern matching and dialyzer. It's far from what you get from Rust of course, but it's better than with Python for instance.
I've been a paying FSF member for a couple of decades now.

To be fair if we really wanted to , we could phase out fossil fuels instantly and still keep the whole capitalist gig going. Go all in on nuclear power, outlaw cars and replace them with networks of public transit powered by electricity. The government throws billions of dollars into infrastructure creating jobs and opportunity. Go all in on a massive public works project; We know a lot of this is doable on a decade long timescale because China can do it.

The problem is that this would require our senators and judges and representatives to not be old and decrepit. They would need to actually live long enough to be affected by climate change. They would need to stop selling out thanks to $10k checks from gas companies and oil companies.

The problem is ultimately the country is ruled by rich old people wanting to extract more riches before they die no matter the consequence. And by the time the consequences do come to roost, the only thing that can be done is pissing on their grave.

Stocks are distinct from bonds, they're an ownership stake in a business so dividends are only a small component of their value. Share buybacks, liquidity events like exits, voting rights, etc all feed into value. Stock buybacks in particular can have tax advantages over dividends leading to companies like apple favoring them as a way of distributing value to shareholders. And the the terms of a stock aren't set at stock issuance, since they represent shares in a business they can go from dividend paying to not dividend paying and back.
Goodhart's Law back at it again. Though there might be something just adjacent that I'm not familiar with. Sure seems like we're asking "how do we measure the success of this process?" and we keep going "money".
Even they're not exempt from being messed with. I had an HP color laser printer which, when purchased, would print on any paper size that would fit in the printer.

I now own a Brother printer that is perfectly happy to print to larger paper.

Your suggestion of trying to convince oneself of being wrong is a valuable one and reflects the scientific method. I agree that it's important to continually challenge and scrutinize our own beliefs and assumptions.

Let's delve deeper into the mechanics of language models. Large language models like GPT-4 use an architecture called transformers. This architecture is composed of layers of self-attention mechanisms, which allow the model to weigh the importance of each word in the input when predicting the next word.

When the model is trained, it adjusts the weights in its network to minimize the difference between its predictions and the actual words in its training data. This process is guided by a loss function and an optimization algorithm.

Through this training process, the model learns to represent words and phrases as high-dimensional vectors, also known as embeddings. These embeddings capture many aspects of the words' meanings, including their syntactic roles and their semantic similarities to other words.

When the model generates text, it uses these embeddings to choose the most likely next word given the previous words. This process is based on the patterns and regularities that the model has learned from its training data.

Of course, this is a high-level description and the actual process involves a lot of complex mathematics and computation. But I hope it gives you a better sense of the mechanisms behind these models.

As for evidence, there are numerous studies that have evaluated these models on a wide range of tasks, including text generation, question answering, translation, and more. These studies consistently show that these models perform well on these tasks, often achieving state-of-the-art results. This is empirical evidence that supports the claim that these models have learned meaningful patterns from their training data.

I agree that we should always remain skeptical and open to new evidence and alternative explanations. I welcome any specific criticisms or alternative hypotheses you might have about these models and their capabilities.
This article is great insofar as it describes how to write an article that appeals to HN. But having been writing and submitting to HN for like 8 years with maybe a dozen front page entries, I think the hack is simpler: pick a topic people want to discuss/find interesting, name the article well (not clickbaity but not boring), and submit earlyish in the day PST. The content of the article is not super important for hitting the front page (as evidenced by a lot of the stuff that does hit front page). BUT if you want to stay on the front page/rank higher, I suspect article quality does matter a lot.
Yeah no I don't believe this is a fair comparison at all, and I'm frankly surprised you think this is accurate to the discussion around LLMs. There are certainly people on here who believe and talk about ChatGPT as if it is generally intelligent. I suppose if you really want I can look through previous threads, but you really can find this under most threads about ChatGPT. A brand of this fallacious reasoning I find particularly annoying are responses that take the form of "well humans also do <reductive vague parallel to LLM operation>" usually in response to people pointing out weaknesses in these language models. It doesn't really matter whether these commenters believe it or not, it does not further the discussion in a meaningful way and it perpetuates FUD around the "AI takeover".

This is in theory an issue but it's a much, much smaller one: the extra heat trapped by the CO2 over time emitted from generating electricity is much greater than the heat actually generated from that electricity: the current rate of heating of the earth corresponds to about 100 times worldwide energy production

And this heating would continue even if we produced no more electricity. Stopping fossil fuels is about stopping the rate of increase of heating, not stopping the heating itself (though there is an equilibrium as increasing temperature will eventually cause more heat loss to balance out the heat gain. This will still take a century or so to settle though). it's effectively a low interest but very long debt: continuing to generate electricity with fossil fuels is essentially piling on more warming over a long enough time period.

Also as mentioned in other commends renewable sources like wind and hydro don't actually contribute to heating anyway. Solar does (because panels generally will absorb more radiation than most surfaces on the earth), but only by a fraction of the electricity generated.
