Okay ... the answer really is "much better than other RNNs of any type". And transformers do: LSTMs and GRUs networks effectively have a context size of 1.

Note that what people claim here is not true: just because you go past the context window does NOT mean everything is forgotten, it means that you're back to RNN levels of performance.

In transformers, just like in RNNs, processing the nth token influences the nth token AND the (n+1)th token. So the influence of the nth token "slowly dies down". It influences the (n+1)th token a lot, the (n+2)th token a bit less and so on. The special thing about attention is that it doesn't start dying until you go past the context size.

Or with a bit of math notation. If a neural network is a function f, then:

RNN: f(x[n]) = f( f(x[n-1]), x[n] )

Transformer: f(x[n]) = f(sum(i=0...context size, f(x-i)), x[n])

The difference between LSTMs and GRUs is in the structure of f. And "sum" is, like a lot of things in here, uh, basically accurate but missing a lot of detail.
Your son wants to learn stuff and the computer helps him with that. People that want an AI girlfriend don't care about the knowledge and usefulness of ChatGPT, they just want to use it to feel less lonely. Not at all the same use case. Although I agree with you, it's kind of sad that a lot of people will probably use chatbots to make up for no human contact in their life instead of using it to learn stuff and/or to fix their code/excel/etc.
The road degradation will be significant, whether from heavier EVs or the much older trend of cars generally getting bigger. Streets may be less safe, and certainly less easy to navigate as big heavy cars squeeze past one another. And presumably it's harder and less efficient to accelerate and decelerate heavy cars. I wonder if a road tax assessed on (in part) the car's weight, will be necessary.
> Military etc. aircrafts of course go far faster and did well before Concorde - and it's much more normal for them to have no eyeball visibility.

Anything designed for an active fighting role (not just transport, observer, tanker, ...) likely has significantly better visibility than the average civilian aircaft.

Can you name an example of a fighter with visibility worse than a C172?
I think it is also a huge issue that there is no methodology or virtuoso pieces to aim at in order to spend hours a day practicing on the Push.

I grew up playing classical guitar and use to own a Ztar and this was the issue I had with it. My guitar chops transferred to it pretty nicely but it is still its own instrument. Own instrument with no music or practice material, no transcriptions of anything other than what you come up with yourself.

How far would anyone get learning piano if they had to also come up with the music and practice material outside of drilling scales concurrently with learning the instrument itself? It would just be a nearly useless gimmicky instrument.
Japanese app did it back in 2017, LLM just made it easier for a solo developer to do the same thing.

this is just dairy industry lobbying, there is no consumer benefit here.
I cook a lot and although you’re right in some regards (scales, thermometers are very useful) you’re discounting the variance in many things making following a recipe precisely not always possible.

For example smoking a brisket. There is no perfect temperature that tells you it’s done. We know the thereabouts but one brisket might be done at 203 while another is at 200 and another at 205. You need to feel it.

Each animal is different and each smoker is different and the weather really matters. A humid day will influence cooking differently than a dry day.

Unless you can get uniform ingredients you’ll never be able to follow a recipe to the letter and get great outcomes every time. You should use tools but in the end you need your senses and you should taste everything you can before serving.
I'm just interested really - I was burned by the changeover from 2-3 and haven't really looked back since. I'm not looking to change either, my needs are met. But I can change my opinion of the state of the thing if it seems like improvements have been made.

By the sounds of it, that's a resounding 'maybe'.

I’d argue that in poker you must use seeded randomness — but everyone has to contribute to the random “pool”. This is the only way I know of to have effectively random values with zero trust.

I have to admit that I watched the demo and when the guy asked for the selfie I was expecting ... not sure, some hot chick or I don't know, someone you can't "easily" have in real life (come on, you know what I mean).

Well, what can I say. Maybe I am pretty much biased given my existence as a "human being", so I couldn't think of anything else.

But well, when I saw the picture I couldn't hold a "WTFF!".

Funny project, nothing to add.

You should sell this to Facebook, maybe they can finally make some use of that meta crap they've been trying to monetize from :)
No arrangement view? deal breaker. Hopefully they add in the future.

Funny enough, until around 2015 I was constantly on chat with friends, at work, all day. Things still got done.

I might be a bit younger than the average commenter here, because for me the favourite citybuilder was SimCity 3000, not 2000.

Anyway, I miss the isometric grid. Yes, it's less realistic, but it's so pleasing. The thing I'm most annoyed by in modern sim games is placing roads and paths. They never look quite right. It's the same with Rollercoaster Tycoon -> Planet Tycoon.

I'd like to see some new games which embrace a grid.
Terrific demonstration of Cunningham's Law. Good job.
I don’t think any chef (or recipe author) would agree with you. If only because they have preheating pans all the time.

Also the actual pan matters, if you have a thick-bottomed cast iron pan that’s been fully preheated it might not even notice that you dropped produce on, whereas a thin teflon-coated aluminium pan will drop through the floor.

An other huge factor is overcrowding, especially pans.
There is a big difference between a general 27,000 layoffs and a significant portion of key senior engineers walking out. Dysfunctional management could fail to grasp that and the company could continue to coast in the short term with happy investors. It will take some time until we see the cracks due to bad tech choices and inability to execute.

Surely changing the naming makes this more confusing.

Describing something as vegan cheese or plant based cheese, you know exactly what it is, changing the name to something different entirely makes it much harder to know what it is.

This is really pretty stupid/crazy.
Ever heard of Joseph McCarthy? J. Edgar Hoover? Dick Cheney, the PATRIOT Act, all that?
So how do you write programs without data structures? You copy paste some implementation and modify it slightly at every use site?

Possible optimizations depend on the semantics of the language — C++ can do just orders of magnitude more with for example a string data structure, than what is possible with a C “string”. So no, C is not the most performant language in general — de facto C++ is used for everything performance critical.

The fact that prizes were won and he got hired back because of that are both evidence that merit is recognized. You made points that contradict your own stance.

The comment of mine you were replying to describes an example of the moving of goal posts; conflating the merit of the issuing of accolades with the merit of recognition of work allows one to fallaciously reject the notion of merit altogether if one of these definitions of merit fails. Yet clearly, they are not the same thing.

For what it's worth, meritocracy is not a topic that I have a concrete stance on (yet). However, the top comments for this topic lacks nuance, and resorts to the kind of motte and bailey arguments I remarked about earlier. Imagine trying to have a productive conversation about anti-corruption, only to get remarks like "anti-corruption has failed with respect to my specific conception of anti-corruption in some specific scenario, therefore anti-corruption as a whole is a terrible goal or ideal". Given how broad the notion of "anti-corruption" can be, someone's specific conception of it in some scenario doesn't (necessarily) represent every conception or instantiation of the notion of anti-corruption. It's in this broadness where nuance can be found, and unfortunately, I don't find that in the top comments.

Who's using regular charging though?

Everyone gets a 240V connection, usually about 30 amps, and charges at 7kW at home, adding 224 miles in 8 hours.

If you want to go more than the 200-300 miles your car goes, you stop for 15-30 mins to rest while you rapid charge.

To quote the page you linked to:
The Tesla Supercharger is the fastest charging option when you're away from home, allowing you to charge your car up to 200 miles in 15 minutes.

and

A Tesla Wall Connector offers the fastest charging speed for your home or office, adding up to 44 miles of range per hour charged
This is an issue with aircraft design also: passengers today are heavier than the designers assumed.
Yeah, there's a certain karmic justice to all of this. It really restores my faith to know that what goes around really does come around. Helps me strive to be a better person myself.

You may be thinking of a different kind of memory mapping. I believe spatter is thinking of memory-mapped hardware.
> but in general I think you'd be hard pushed to not find some level of success given this initial starting point

What does this even mean? "some level of success" as in sticking it in the stock market and collecting ~7-10%, or more than that?

If you think that anyone with capital can generate above-market returns, that is a very odd perspective.

Capital is relatively abundant. If you can reliably generate above-market returns with $1M+ you should try to raise capital.
Which app would you suggest ?
Let's be more precise by what we mean by "human interactions" / "human contact" here. For example:

- An alternative outlet for venting/intimate conversations than your friends/spouse? I can see a problem growing here.

- A replacement/substitute for a therapist? I doubt even GPT-4 can do that job better than actual therapist (especially when face to face, not over Zoom), but there are many scenarios where ChatGPT would still be useful - perhaps one can't afford therapy, or otherwise doesn't have access to it, or one feels their issues don't warrant a proper therapy just yet.

- Related to the above, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one technique known to be somewhat effective when done alone with a book (relative to the effectiveness of individual/group therapy). I can imagine ChatGPT making this kind of self-help easier, and more effective. I know there have been attempts to make CBT chatbots some years ago (obviously prior to "GPT revolution"), but I don't know how effective they turned out to be.

- An alternative to posting questions on forums, group chats, or asking random people? IDK. maybe let's split it:

-- Individuals you know, directly or via group chat, and small communities - conversations there are simultaneously transactional/object-level and create interpersonal bonds. Replacing that with ChatGPT could make one worse off. However, some people (myself included) already have difficulty with this kind of interaction, so ChatGPT here is strictly positive (both in delivering answers and helping form a habit of phrasing questions/requests instead of doing Google searches).

-- Mass audience forums - Reddit, HN, Facebook comments, StackOverflow, etc. - the community might lose out a bit on reduced participation, but individually, I feel if ChatGPT can give you a satisfying answer to your question, you should use it, and relevant forums you frequent are likely better off with you not posting that question.

Etc.
I’d like to see some labelling crack down around some of the health claims of the obviously less-healthy alt-milks and plant based foods.

I’ve dabbled in some of the non-dairy milks, and do particularly like oat. However some of them are just sugar water and protein powder if you do a little digging.

I suppose there’s also concerns about infants being switched to dairy alternatives without consulting a doctor.
I don't see how this is controversial.

Imagine Pepsi selling a drink called "not Coca Cola" or Google advertising "not ChatGPT" or "not Outlook". Literally the only purpose is customer confusion and piggy-backing on a successful brand to save on marketing.

In general I don't quite understand the "meat-envy" displayed by many vegans. As if there aren't tons of extremely delicious "vegan-original" foods (fried tofu, falafel, rice bowl with mushrooms & avocado, ...).
Nostalgia. It is hard to follow all of the new trends. I feel like I'm becoming obsolete. And now with all of the AI hype, who knows what tomorrow brings.

Recipe writing is a specific skill, for sure -- it's teaching rather than doing. But for anyone who isn't learning alongside an older relative, there has to be a way to develop that intuitive sense. A good recipe writer can call out those key areas where you have to develop a feel for something, and enable that kind of learning. Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking is a great example of that.
Joy of Cooking has been my go to for 25 years. It’s part cookbook, part encyclopedia, and just very useful.
There's a bit that needs flipped - the idea that "filling the tank" is an infrequent thing that is done at a scarce number of special places equipped with reservoirs.
It's more of a "large vehicles" thing. Battery size scales with vehicle size, so large SUVs and trucks need very large batteries. Larger than we're used to seeing on the typical Tesla or similar.

"Fossil fuels are not sustainable, we must switch to EVs"

companies build EVs that consumers want, with good range and large capacity

"This is not sustainable. Bigger batteries, longer range, heavier trucks... these are not the hallmarks of the sea change the auto industry is trying to sell us on."

So its just the old "they should drive Lada instead of Mercedes"?

But what many people seem to forget is that heavier vehicles are inherently more polluting than lighter ones, regardless of whether they emit any tailpipe emissions. All vehicles produce non-exhaust emissions from a variety of sources, including rubber tires, road dust, and brakes. This is especially true for electric vehicles thanks to the added weight from their batteries.

This is never going to end, is it? First eliminate exhaust, still not good enough. EV brakes actually last a lot longer, because energy recuperation (electric braking) reduces wear on them, so what remains is... more rubber dust?

At what point is driving a car actually ok?

until you read Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and start watching the epicurious yt channel.

the "4 levels" and "pro chef vs home cook" epicurious playlists are amazing eye openers, where they exactly highlight the actual difference in skills and knowledge.

but sure, anyone can cook well, even a rat.
Chefs use thin carbon steel pans which heat up and cool down very quickly. They also have much more powerful gas burners.

My advice is related to common domestic pans with heavier bottom and common domestic weak burners.

Agree that overcrowding is a huge issue especially with water-heavy ingredients like onions, peppers.
I have lived in California. If there is serious concern for saving the Joshua Tree, then California needs to make another sanctuary for it in a place where people do not want to live: north of Barstow. Yucca Valley is a nice place to live and should have more people (much nicer than in the deserted wastelands north of Victorville.)
