Yes, because the (((thought-leaders))) have been saying that OpenAI will let GPT to write all of their software from now on. And if they won't then that means LLMs are incapable. /s

Also, there are reasons to not launch on both platforms at once even if the binaries were ready. E.g. if you want to space out onboarding new users. They are launching only in the US afterall.
Thank you to the team there that worked on getting this out. I'm very excited to use it!

My best,
I wouldn't be surprised if it's tuned based on what people tap after a query, popularity stats generally, or other similar stats, and so they rebuild it only every few days after accumulating more stats.

Establishing popularity at a point in time requires a window of time.

If I had to guess, they pick a window of a few days because if you did it every minute or even every hour, there might be wild fluctuation in the long tail of apps, depending on whether 8 or 0 people happened to download it in that time.

You could fix this by making window size inversely proportional to short-term popularity and running every 15 min, but that's just more effort to reason about and code and debug. It seems like something they absolutely should do, but I can see why it would be pushed down the backlog.
Agree the UI is not good. But dream studio also quite poor.

But the functionality of automatic is too notch.

SD without control net is now totally obsolete.
Hmm, even if the restaurant is not high end, those are quite high prices.

Just went out to a restaurant I would describe similarly (https://www.thebutchersdaughter.com/west-village/). Mains are ~$20, appetizers are ~$15, wine is ~$15. Two mains, two apps, four glasses of wine would be $130, with tax and tip is $180. That is still high for me, but that does include four drinks.
That’s not a fair assessment. Just because this study is not useful in the technical advancement of the field, does not mean that studying social issues is worthless (“woke is bad”). Just that that research should happen somewhere else.
GPT-4 get's this wrong...There is still hope for humans...
Scientific thinking, or a generalized and incomplete algebra of reason, is exactly what you get from a GPT. Nothing more.

Basically, I would argue that this article sees a real issue, but seems to get it backwards. All formal logical systems are incomplete and/or inconsistent. Scientific thinking is also shaped by reality - which army turned out to have the better ballistics, and so forth.

Of course the next thing to chew on is: Are you just an “algebra of reason” too? I don’t buy that, but it’s a common belief.
People in CA would go to In-n-Out anyway. https://www.fastfoodmenuprices.com/in-n-out-prices/ at (2.463+2.163+1.872)1.0725 = $18.88.

Even if you double the fries because they're not "large" you're still under $25. Five Guys is batshit insane.
This still sounds not great :(

> Training a model on a bunch of images by {artist}, and then telling it "Generate me 20 images in the style of {artist}" seems pretty close to this ruling.

No, it's not close at all. Did you look at the images in question for the ruling? Warhol's picture is very clearly a tracing of the photograph. Unless you're using the AI to generate an almost-exact copy of one of the training images, this ruling does not apply.
It might. But unless we control estimates, budget and/or burn rate, the needle isn't going to move.
> I'm pretty sure that's what we're doing in Ukraine.

If we wanted to set an example we would declare war on Russia. Instead we send billions of dollars into a the unaccountable void that is the most corrupt country in Europe.
Precisely as ridiculous as owning a particular arrangements of elementary particles or varying magnetic patterns.

Because you'll be bombed or shot or invaded if you try to assert the authenticity of non-Muslim, non-Arab identities being native to the Middle East and North Africa.
It's been tried. See accessibility overlays. And they all suck.

Good grief. I mistook you for the person who made the initial absurd statement because you responded to the comment for which I responded to them. Who would deliberately misquote someone that can fact checked by moving their eyes 4 inches up the screen?

>I also didn't say anyone can replace Adobe easily, but outlined a path how a motivated company can replace their offering.

Ok, let's take a look.

"their main advantage in retouching, content filling and masking can be now done by any 10-year old with a beefier GPU at the same or better quality. Even ridiculously bad GIMP can now get the same state-of-art tools Adobe has..."

a) False. b) Sure sounds like you're saying that a 10 year old or Gimp can replace Photoshop functionality easily. Pretty precise word slicing there, but ok.

> so inevitably its value proposition will be only appealing to existing "legacy" customers and dropping everywhere else.

So... their fading into irrelevance as a legacy product isn't being "easily replaced?" Yeah, ok.

> If somebody offers better UX (and there are many options to do better than PS), lowering the switching costs in required training, then it can happen fairly quickly.

The entire format of the generative AI tools is designed for amateurs to make "gee whiz" images without needing any discernible useful skills but the interface fundamentally abstracts away the repeatability and specificity needed for professional communication work. Meanwhile, Adobe started rolling out generative neural network based tools specifically targeted to professional use cases 3 or 4 years ago. Things might change, but this is not a close competition right now, and won't likely be for the foreseeable future. If you see Photoshop as a static target, you simply don't have current knowledge of the space.

> Beside being a former pro photo/cinematographer, I also worked for one Adobe competitor and invented a bunch of new geometric and image processing algorithms, then went on to study Deep Learning at Stanford, so maybe I know what I am talking about, or maybe I am just a fallacious idiot who doesn't get it.

Well, it sure sounds like you don't know much about the current state of the image manipulation tools I work with on a daily basis, which is what the conversation is about. You could be the former CEO of Adobe with a PhD in ML concentrating in image generation and a wing dedicated to your artwork at the Met and still be too out of touch with current image manipulation tooling to make useful predictions about it. In fact, I'd say nearly everybody I've encountered that's really into AI image generation and says it'll soon best the current professional toolkit couldn't list 5 significant ways Photoshop has changed in the past 10 years. And Photoshop is the most vulnerable too in their kit, by far. The prospect of it replacing InDesign anytime soon is absolutely laughable.

> In internet parlance, “based” means something like “in touch with reality.” Based behavior is the opposite of social justice activism, which is about meaningless virtue signaling and beating up strawmen. Some based beliefs include:

> - Men cannot give birth

> - Guns don’t kill people; people kill people

> - A fetus is a human being

> - Socialism has failed everywhere it’s been tried

> - Discriminating against white people is racism

I sort of disagree with some of those viewpoints. But what is the problem of people that espouse these viewpoints having their sci-fi convention? A bunch of conventions are super-progressive.

I have friends that are very progressive, and I also have friends that are pretty conservative. Should I be judged as part of which group? Why is guilt by association a thing?

Some people just don't really care all that much about the political talking points in the ongoing cultural war (or about politics as a whole).
No, I'm not reading it like that. You clearly say that the inventor didn't think of nefarious people, not that he was one.
Which is weird, since the UK scores higher than most of its neighbours and North America in stuff like PISA scores. Quite a lot higher than some of them.

The law would still be on the books. Presumably it would become non-void, and immediately active, if a Chinese company repurchased TikTok from a non-Chinese company. Much like unconstitutional laws prohibiting abortion became immediately active again after the recent Supreme Court ruling.

So good things are a result of capitalism, and the bad concomitant outcomes are due to "globalization, AI" and "failure of government"? Perhaps there is a link between the cheap Walmart milk in your fridge, record Walmart profits, automation (self-checkout), hardball supplier negotiations and rising inequality as indicated by Walmart employees also being on SNAP.
Anne of Green Gables copyright is an interesting study in what happens here.

There has been a recent tidal wave of "remixes" of the original work. TV shows, graphic novels, etc. My read: A lot of it is very good, very few new ideas are being created, and a lot of money is being made. It's hard to argue this counts toward anything like a "renaissance."

The fundamental argument for copyright is that creators of certain works should able to earn a living based on those ideas; it turns something abstract into "property," thus granting property rights to a class of things that wouldn't otherwise have such rights. This allows people to become professional "idea creators."

The problem to be solved with abolishing copyright, of course, is the problem of funding "idea creators." This doesn't seem to be something most opponents of copyright have solutions to.

In the case of something like Anne of Green Gables, once the "property" is no longer exclusive to someone, it is much, much, much harder to generate an income from that property. Imagine building a house, but not having control over who enters it. Same idea. Maybe people shouldn't have long-term property rights at all? Who knows? That's starting to sound like communism or something.
> Let me understand this: the founding treaties of the community were written in my language, by my elected politicians, and signed in my capital city, but you think you know the principles they expose better than me...?

That is correct.

> Economic solidarity is the lynchpin of the EU; it benefited Italy or Spain before, it's benefiting Eastern Europe now.

In theory, but in practice that's not accurate. Modern day EU is far more corrupt and inefficient than when Spain joined.

> Surprise surprise, when push comes to shove, nobody wants to - every time funding is threatened, Eastern representatives fall in line.

A little bit similar to Italy falling in line around 2010, I believe, corruption, financial crime, fiscal irresponsibility etc where mentioned. I remember around the time there were frequent calls for PIGS to leave the EU since, unlike east europe, those countries nearly collapsed the project and the euro zone.

> For that reason, a shrinkage around a more ideologically cohesive core becomes more and more attractive with time.

A review of the current state of affairs is in order, but I doubt Italy will have much to say in any of this.
I'm going to put my guess in as Tivoli.
Smooth pip install, worked on first try. Was surprised it can also install packages but I guess that makes sense given it's just running against a jupyter kernel.

I had to open the link in my browser, then use the Safari tab sharing thing to open that same page on my phone, which then opened it in the store to the correct app, because I ran into the exact same problem.

Apple store search is a broken horrific joke.
It seems rather unwise of Apple to invite that OpenAI/Plugin marketplace without some kind of an agreement.

No plugins right now in the App, but they’ll be coming, no?
The [22] source doesn't say anything about that research. But a commuter is a very specific customer and hardly represents all customers.

Further, I'm guessing but doubt that commuters wouldn't go to mcd just for coffee, whatever breakfast(?) maybe didn't last long enough for it to cool down. Sure, but that all depends.

And apparently, commuters didn't mind enough to find something else.

Part from safety issues I haven't really seen any convincing argument against "too hot" coffee.
'Perfectly fine' definitely doesn't mean 'usable' in my dictionary.

But I see that perhaps the parent didn't mean to say that the web version can do everything the app does, so I have edited my comment to be less confrontational. Thanks.
National labs have alot of smart people, but alot of paper pushers too

The main issue I see is that most devs simply do not care, and/or dev management not prioritizing it unless required by regulations.

The biggest problem I see is that isn't likely ever going to change.
China gets to take over all of the projects they built, this giving them a foothold in the local government and economy.

I think you should factor in inflation. Inflation has been significant recently.

Also you are not comparing to Intel's cost per core which would show that this pricing issue is not new. I think you just didn't notice it before.
Because there are billions of them.
Unfortunately, last time I checked, Intel NUCs does not work from USB-C power and require external power brick.
Apple + The Web is a match made in hell.

All of their services that are network heavy (TV, iCloud, Apple Music, News, Safari Sync) are so slow and do huge full reloads of every bit of state, so you just constantly see loading spinners, or worse in iCloud, you see nothing and eventually it will pop all the new stuff in to view, with no way to force a refresh.

I get that CAP theorem exists, but other providers at least seems to understand opportunistic sync and do a job of making it work for the user, but Apple seems to think that inconsistent views over data can't be helped and that every user should understand eventual consistency.

Their SDKs for syncing data to iCloud have long been a joke in the developer community and I think there have been 3 attempts at getting CoreData -> iCloud working, with the last iteration NSPersistentCloudKitContainer often being used as the [butt of jokes, a case study on poor networking talent at Apple] among iOS developers.
Good employers usually pay 75% or more. My family health insurance costs $28500.

That median number also includes people without coverage or with Medicare and Medicaid, which aren’t accounted for that way.

What I mean is, for an end user, it’s currently cheap and that must be a big factor in adoption.

My understanding on why this is, is because in New England there's a lot more granite in the ground. Granite is particularly annoying in that respect because the trace amounts of, i think, uranium and radium that the rock concentrated when it was formed will give off the radon gas when they decay.
Your premises are deeply mixed into your argument here.

From an (conservative leaning) American perspective - the Alan Turing Institute is an perfect example of broken European thinking. Real innovative happens at highly motivated private companies, private companies who have huge profits to make if they are successful, and who pay huge salaries to talented employees, talented employees who desire to be rich. Government institutions more frequently pay mediocre salaries, reward politicking rather than excellence, and are undermotivated to solve problems, because they are unlikely to receive commensurate share of the benefits.

Now that Britain has left the EU, we Americans hope they will stop pissing money down the drain on useless government programs like the Alan Turing Institute and will instead reorient to a more business friendly environment, which recognizes that innovation happens mostly in successful businesses, and that governments role is to create that business friendly environment.
That kind of conversation often lacks for how to deal with deceitful, ruthless, and generally harmful people.

Not everyone is decent, and turning the other cheek doesn't work or communicate what it once did in this age of platform megaphones.

The corruption of indeceny is everywhere, and most people don't even realize it when they do it because of menticide, indoctrination, or whatever you want to call it.
At first I was skeptical of the difference between 3.5 and 4 but there really is a large gap in the models understanding of complex issues between them. I make a habit of always selecting gpt4 but forgot to yesterday. Within 3 responses I could immediately tell I was interacting with a less capable model.

Also, in terms of a text chance, I noticed this:

Saying “as much as possible” doesn’t address my concerns. It still leaves open the question of intent and what specifically that means.

The Peritext page has a whole section on intent. It would be nice to have one sentence pointing specifically to it.

Just do a pareto principle on it bro.
Some months ago, I stumbled into an OOP inheritance rabbithole which got me thinking the same:

- Isn't the (biological) concept of inheritance built at it's core around the idea of "generations"? How does that make any sense in OOP?

- Why do Java beginner courses still teach Inheritance like it was 1995 with all the bells and whistles and dogs and cats and mammals?

- Why do they teach Inheritance and later introduce "favor composition to inheritance"? Doesn't this just confuse everyone?

- Why does Inheritance have first-class syntax support in an OOP language like Java ("extends") whereas Composition usually needs to be "engineered" using some more complex patterns, e.g. DI?

Most of it is probably for historical reasons, i guess.
The only thing Bard shows is that Google doesn't want OpenAI to eat into their Search. There's no indication it was ever planned to compete with Search or that they had a clear plan for it before OpenAI walked that path.

When you have all you need theoretically in house but your moves are rushed and come only as a reaction to the competition you are the very example I was trying to make, of milking your cash cow and waiting too long. Google had to change the strategy [0], reorganize [1], and struggle to launch your product in an emergency as a response to competition. This is the very definition of not having a well thought out long term strategy, isn't it?

Google owned Brain and DeepMind as rival divisions since before OpenAI existed. They didn't cooperate, didn't launch any revolutionary product, and didn't compete in any way with Google's main offering. They were left to their own devices like side projects until the competition dashed in front and hit Google's most sensitive area and dictated their strategy.

I don't know if Bard is a good or bad product. But we may have different definitions of a coherent investment in a long term strategy to make a better product. None of the above shouts "coherent", "long term strategy", or even necessarily "better product".

Yeah Zelda's motion controls are great for what they're used for — but that's kind of my point. Even without using a first party controller, you're still enjoying controls that were designed for their own hardware.

If TotK was released for the "Big 3" consoles + PC, motion controls couldn't be relied on, as not all platforms have the hardware for it. I'm not saying that they couldn't make it work without motion controls, but just pointing out that what makes Nintendo special is that their software is made for their hardware, and both are better for it.
I get it, but it is just about infinitely configurable to your specific needs so it doesn't bother me too much what the default response is.
