> Many? It's barely 1% that do regret transitioning

I would argue that suicide after transitioning might also constitute regret and bump that number up a little bit...
I wonder, if it's possible to test the hypothesis that smartphone (or whatever internet connected device) allows one to learn more about the world without the filter
My point is that a superintelligence will require specialized equipment. I specifically mentioned it because there is a thought that a superintelligence can just replicate itself onto your phone, as you mentioned.

But this replication must follow the physical laws we have. It must also follow the laws we attempt to enforce in our networks.

But you are correct, if a superintelligence were to somehow convince a human to rid itself of agency, sure.

You don't mention Samsung, is this the case of their 3nm not being actually 3nm?

There is nothing else than correlations. How in heaven's name are you going to find a causal relationship? Giving children a placebo phone?

> very very dishonest

It isn't dishonest. You know what's dishonest? Calling it "5 minutes of Excel". Jonathan Haidt isn't in the business of selling substack. He's a professor at NYU.
That's a myth, you can't just stop natural puberty and expect everything to be normal if you decide to reverse course later. These kids are being sterilized [1], many will never experience an orgasm [2].

“Every single child or adolescent who was truly blocked at Tanner Stage 2 [when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood] has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.”[2] - Dr. Marci Bowers, a vaginoplasty surgeon who herself transitioned when she was 38

I think there are a few opportunities for startups that want to leverage GPT technology:

1) Fine tuning base models with data that big tech doesn't have access to. E.g legal, medical, support data. Offering custom fine-tuned private hosted models for companies that can't leverage the base models APIs due to data privacy and lack of domain specific training.

2) Using GPT on the backend to do data transformation that the user doesn't interact
with directly, e.g parsing logs, events, moderating content etc.

I don't think the opportunity lies in creating a thin wrapper to a custom prompt in a chat interface.
My experience also. It's sort of a pattern with other behavioral attributes too.

Of course correlation is not causation, places that don't talk about it also might not have it nor care. But talking about it is sort of trying to convince the org, and you only need to spend time convincing people of something that isn't the case.
The cost of adding irrelevant data to relevant data is minuscule. Trying to use a "Rod from God" that is the deficit spending limit to set a finishing nail will only destroy the entire city.
A British accent is often perceived to be more gentle
The Generative Turn for Tech Strategy
The overuse of “like” is extremely common in younger (say, sub-50) Americans across geographic locations.
Some British accents have implied a sort of eliteness in the US for much more than a couple decades. See the transatlantic accent. By the late 19’th century it a widespread enough sentiment that we made up an accent to copy it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent
Here in the UK, it's just called maths or mathematics and the term "math" is never used (or at least I can't think of an example).

I find it generally amusing to examine the differences between U.S. and British English and quite often get confused over whether I should be using "licence" or "license". It's the little quirks of language/spelling that make it interesting. (Though english, I'm a big fan of some of the U.S. contractions such as "y'all'd've")
If a company is going to judge me in that way then I wouldn't want to work for them anyways. Would be like dodging a bullet for me.

Maybe I do run in different circles too. I have only worked for small companies where upper management knows me and values me. I'm not just a faceless employee and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Do british students study chem or chemy? The american word math is an abbreviation of mathematics, why would it be a contraction?
I used to find the "What’s new tab" tab useful because of the list of recent projects it has, but I've moved on to creating desktop shortcuts to project directories so that I can open them in one go. This also works with ssh-based projects. (`--folder-uri=`)
Based on how easy it can be to write ChatGPT Plugins when GPT can write them for you, i could see this becoming more and more true.
Building an Offline Backup for Authy
I'm on the same kind of machine. My biggest problem with Code is that I can see the sluggishness when I open a file, and watch it render the syntax highlighting. I didn't know about this setting. Forcing the GPU "on" has made this go away. Now I can only detect a tiny bit of rendering in the minimap. I'm always plugged in while coding anyway, so I can leave it, but it seems like Code should be able to tell you're plugged in, and do this automatically.
AI killing people is not fair. So I think you can see one of the two groups as a subgroup of the other.

Who's values discussions also don't seem stupid, as it is better to have a regulation for that, before some Google, MS or Apple does find out how to put in their values and only their values. Better come prepared than to again sleep through the advent of it happening and then again running behind.
The person who shoveled coal to a steam locomotive was called a railroad engineer.

Maintaining a constant head of steam while changing altitude, water level, external temperature, etc using a direct heat source is a really skilled job. Talk to anyone who works on a heritage railway and they'll explain just how hard it is.

I lived in the same city where George Stephenson invented the locomotive, and went to the same pub that the volunteers who worked on a replica went to. It's fascinating, and very much 'proper' engineering.
> Obviously neither are wrong because they are the "correct" way for a given dialect/region etc.

I would say "math" is an objectively better shortening of "mathematics" as it preserves the singular collective meaning than "maths" which preserves more of the incidental textual form.
Aren't there "parental controls" to limit access?
Last paragraph is the upcoming reality, and if the economic incentive to hone your craft is eliminated, the quality of human generated art will just get worse and worse.
I find it rather strange that you conflate the emotional state of a human whose brain is still rapidly developing with that of an adult. You can't possibly believe that those two things are even close to comparable
> Isn't engineering the application of science to solve problems? (math, definitive logic, etc.)

Most definitely not. Engineering more often than not preceeds the science. You don't have to have an analytical and theoretical understanding of something in order to harness it and make practical use of it.

In reality, there's a strong feedback loop, where practical hacks will guide the science, the development of which will can then be used to make better practical applications, which can uncover new unknowns, which can then be incorporated into the science etc. The development of electricity and magnetism and or steam engines and thermodynamics are both great examples of this.
How early is too early? Also the phone can be set up for like one hour a day of usage too.
Let's call the other guys "Gatekeepers" (Open.AI, Google with Bard, etc).

Option 1: none. Most of the value will be captured by Gatekeepers

Option 2: Gatekeepers will partially commoditize their service, and on top of them, several startups will thrive by creating something not easily replicable by Gatekeepers (via patents, via speed of execution, via viral growth, etc). Example: biggest GPT-powered media startup will compete with Netflix. Another: biggest GPT-powered e-learning startup will compete with higher ed - Stanford, MIT, etc.

Option 3: A single GPT-powered Coding startup will become > $100B. My bet is on Replit. (disclaimer: very early investor). When you hire a programmer, much like you pay for Jira, AWS and such, you will also pay for Replit. This partially overlaps with e-learning (see above).

Option 4: there's an even bigger revolution coming in AI, and it's not in the segment owned by LLMs. Or, it's a different interpretation of LLMs. Could it be... finally a real self-driving car?

Option 5, very unlikely: regulation will stifle competition and innovation, and most things will be killed by governments. Perhaps something smart can be said about US vs China. WWIII will be fought with virtual agents powered by GPT, over Twitter. Elon Musk will be kidnapped by GPT-6. /s

What else?
Apparently I'm in the wrong churches (or the right ones).
> I will tell you one interesting contradiction about Mormons is the extent to which they disown their past and at the same time still have many ideas from that time circulating around in a particular way. I would think it's similar to say how some Catholics may be down with the whole thing right now and yet still aren't "up-to-date" with the Catholic church's official position on things, for instance post Vatican II.

As I don't know what you mean about the LDS in your first sentence, I don't know what you mean here. Where the Catholic Church is concerned, no change in doctrine can occur; it would invalidate the Church's claim of religious and moral authority. Doctrine can develop, of course. Analogically, I like to characterize this as something like an increase in clarity and depth of prior teachings, or deductions that follows from them, but never anything that innovates or contradicts prior comprehension. We could say that development is monotonic. However, doctrine is one thing, but things like liturgical practice and canon law are another (and still another are the private opinions of prelates, which less educated people may confuse with magisterial Church teaching). These can be adapted in changing circumstances, though obviously not with infinite flexibility.

In the case of Vatican II, it was a valid council and nothing taught in that council contracted what came before the council. Rather, historical circumstances, the cultural turmoil of that period, the resulting confusion, disorientation, corruption, etc. led to all sorts of secondary effects that seized on the fact of the Second Vatican Council. This left many people thinking the Church had changed in some essential way when it had not. Opportunists both inside and outside the Church happily used the appearance of change to promote fashionable nonsense and notions among the ignorant that were never taught by Vatican II. But from a historical perspective, one of many crises in Church history. No historically aware Catholic is freaking out, as dismayed as he may be.
I'm not sure how you would control for this. I was born in 1981, not long after the Vietnam war ended, and my Dad was a veteran with PTSD who never went to a therapist. My home life sucked and I came out of it with pretty severe depression. I became addicted to computers as a means of escape, and thankfully -- luckily -- it turned into a lucrative career.

However, even though my home life sucked, society as a whole felt much better than it does currently and I still wanted nothing to do with it.

Is it possible these kids now just have a front row seat to witness their generation being systematically torn down in front of them before they even have a chance to get a footing? My parents sucked. Their whole world sucks.

I have my doubts that it's about the phones. It seems more likely that their adult problems are the student loans, the cost of rent, the lack of jobs, the corporate greed, and on, and on.
When I was a kid, no way could I understand a Geordie accent. I was raised with a RP accent, but I lived in Liverpool; I could understand ordinary scouse fine.

But my mates would sometimes launch into a very broad scouse accent to tease me; I could only just understand that.

Things have changed. Nobody nowadays speaks Geordie with the very broad accent that I couldn't understand as a kid.
Imagine this but instead of needing any CLI skills, you just install a "blog" app on the phone, do a quick OAuth2 flow with your domain provider[0] to connect a domain through a tunnel, and you're ready to start posting. This is essentially my vision of the future of selfhosting. We have a lot of work to do, but the technology is all there.

Gyms are not social spaces; they're closer to libraries if anything. People go in, do their reps and leave. Gyms do not encourage hanging out or making conversation, unless it's about signing up for personal training lessons.

As for non-alcohol-based options, they could have used a picture of a coffee shop. But even then, coffee shops today are more like an assembly line for Ubereats orders.
apologies, yes. Wrong thread. +dang can you delete?
The reason for the strong political influence of the military is two fold:

1. Political institutions in Pakistan are very weak and when things start to truly go bad, people look toward the military to bring law and order and not their elected leaders. This in turn gives the military a seat at the table to impact internal matters and foreign relations.

2. India - using India as a general boogeyman since independence has given the military brass a lot of money and power. They in turn use this to further their political ideology and when things start to go a way they don’t like they can start a coup. In turn the people generally go along with this as they think army control might be better than their leaders to solve their issues.

Like it was mentioned, Pakistan needs a few decades of peaceful democracy to get their shit together. Otherwise it will keep circling the drain of being a failed state.
Yeah I’m sorry but a government ID seems like the solution to so many issues here. I want to be able to have online discussions about political elections while being sure the people on the other end are actual voters and not spammers being paid to swing elections. I want people who create accounts just to spam and run blackmail rings to be identifiable. We already have social security numbers, online IDs are not that big of a deal.

But then it sidesteps the need for a U235 enrichment process. One can start from the wrong type of uranium. The downside is you can't use the simple gun-type assembly for the warhead. You must be able to assemble a tricky implosion-type device.
I'm surprised how long the "solution in search of a problem" trend has dominated tech product design, despite obvious and repeated failures of this approach to produce results.

AI/ML products fundamentally don't make sense compared to products that happen to use some AI/ML to aid in solving a problem.

It's sort of like loving to use redis (which I do) and thinking you want to found a company based on using redis in the product, or start a redis product team, dedicated to shipping products that use redis.

It's one thing if you want to host redis as your business, which is solving a problem involving redis, but if your aim is to use redis to solve a problem then you're going to be in trouble.

Imagine a PM on the "use redis" team rejecting a great idea for customers because it could be more efficiently solved using a traditional database, or forcing the use of redis when a cheaper, easier solution already works just as well if not better. This is actually the case on AI/ML teams.

GPT startups that will thrive are the ones that aren't GPT startups, but instead solving some other, real, problem that happens to only be solvable in a post-GPT word.
Got an example of it? I too want a nicer UX around my ChatGPT Plus sub (ie not API based).

Frankly a cli version that could pipe into my code editor (Helix) would be amazing.
That's what the Man wants you to believe :)
powerbi headless ???

A redirect to youtube is lawful evil.
Right, and I think that's mostly the first point. When the user says "make paperclips efficiently", they (hopefully!) don't mean "step 1: destroy humanity so I can't be turned off".
Except the majority of kids have smart phones now and the rates of mental health issues have skyrocketed.

"What kind of kid can resist the lure of a phone until she 18? "

They don't need to resist it on their own. You just need decent parents that don't promote it at a young age. Yeah the kid may get out on their own and touch a few smart phones but if you don't addict them to it at a young age they'll be less interested in using it as a constant coping mechanism. Additionally, someone has to actually buy these devices for them. If they have to spend their own money on this stuff it's less likely they'll have them.
So long and thanks for all the fish^H^H^H^H whois look ups. geektools always seemed able to dig a little deeper than anybody else - I'll miss them.
In a similar vain, I provide this tool to talk to all free and open LLMs which don't need a login:

Feedback is welcome.

So far I know about 3. I would expect there to be more and more over time. I will keep adding them to the page.
> Which totally won't affect her mental health.

There's really no data on that. If anything, the data in the article suggest the opposite, although it may come from different groups with different patterns in social media usage.
The church in question regularly teaches that people should build up their savings against any reversal of fortune. It also teaches to be generous to those in need. It strives to set an example in both things.

Your wikipedia link is about some rumor started a half century after the founder was murdered. It's a bit like George Washington's cherry tree. It may be a well-known story, but it isn't part of the constitution or a motivation for any governing action.

I think it is entirely appropriate for the government of Sweden to build some security for a rainy day. I think it is appropriate for my neighbor to do the same. I don't see any reason why the local community church should not. So why should a multinational church be different?

I'm reading other headlines about whether US politicians will extend the debt limit in time. Wouldn't it be a relief if instead we criticized them for building too large a reserve?
Yeah I view it as a slider or dial in my mind. Maybe a dial from 0 to 10 for level of distraction you're willing to tolerate. The more you turn it down the more it turns off all of these suggestions, autocompletes, notifications, etc.
Most AI startups for the next couple of years are just going to be scams that work of the back of OpenAI's API. My work place is currently under an onslaught of every person thinking there's a plethora of tools to do there job for them when it's just all OpenAI in the end.
I believe AI is here to stay and will revolutionize the work place. I just feel way to many people are going about it the wrong way.
I don't care how "hateful" I'm being. Making a LLM do stock picks and then telling people who don't know any better that it's a reliable way to invest money is something that will cause someone to lose their savings. It's not just about them getting sued - it's about them causing gigantic harm to someone's actual life. Plus, if you take a look at their site, it's clear they're also involved with web3/crypto nonsense, which has stolen quite enough money from honest people already.
I think you misunderstand their idea. A child with worse coping can push their parents harder for a phone, and a child with better coping skills can hold out without a phone longer. This is the theory they're suggesting, I believe.
IIRC, Toolbox is less buggy and better tested according to some discussions on both Fedora Silverblue's and Toolbox's GitHub issue trackers.

I don't have links on-hand (mobile), but the discussions should be easy to find by searching "distrobox" in the issue page of the respective GitHub repos. I also can't speak to the validity of it since I haven't really had problems with either.
I assume you're being sarcastic about that, but I can't figure out what your actual point is.
This is one of those obvious correlations that for some reason everyone needs to question.

It's not the cellphone itself that's the problem, it's the addictive content readily accessible therein. I'm no luddite, but it's pretty obvious that humans aren't meant to be bent over little black rectangles all day, addicted to our own insecurities.
they share their main memory with the GPU.

There is no cheaper way to have 50gb of memory allocated to your GPU compute pipeline (buy a 64gb macbook pro or studio). So yes big, only the fast aspect remains a reason to buy expensive dedicated gpu's
There is sadly not even a mention of correlation in the title, and the post heavily implies (except for a single paragraph, which is very late in the article) this correlation implies causation. Which it doesn't, and that's imporant! For all we know, households that yield kids with worse mental health also happen to give them smartphones younger. Perhaps the parents are more disinterested, perhaps the parents have worse impulse control. Perhaps one of those things are the issue.

This is insufficiently discussed, which invites the reader to dismiss the premise. This is bad, because it might also be true. In essence, highlighting it's own criticism a bit more strongly would have gotten the point across better.
That was really helpful, thank you for the detailed explanation.
If they're charging at you, it seems most effective to aim for the brain, that's the target (1). I would prefer the armour-piercing rounds, to get through the thick skull.

At that angle, the other vital organs are also well-shielded, by bulk if not by skull.

I think GP means people are being too perfectionist with GPT-4. Between things you're an expert on, and things you have no first clue about, there's also a vast space of things you understand to some degree - enough to let you apply intuition, common sense. In this space, you'll be able to spot rather quickly if GPT-4 is making things up, while still benefiting greatly from when it's being right.
I've been in the industry for 10 years and have never had a contract.
A lot of other more important things would get cut before the marshals felt the squeeze (c.f. other current events like what NYC does with the police and what they cut in order to have more cops)

Many of his recent articles are structured around quoting himself from prior articles.
I love c2 its wiki and would be very sad to see it gone. Im certain I can find some archives but this still feels like a loss.
Yeah maybe.... but I'm noticing a lot more parents going this direction. You just have to get them into the same groups so they don't feel social pressure to be on smart devices all day.

Also, teaching them to not care so much about others perceptions is sort of a big part of this. A lot of these kids are being thrown a smart device and not given any parenting on coping with emotions.

I saw a student pepper spray their teacher for taking her smartphone the other day. It's a drug.
