I think this is probably where the motivation comes from. You don't want the people who get their hands dirty viewing the people that make decisions for them as some floating heads somewhere off in the ether. If they dont come around ever that's what's going to happen. It creates resentment, destroys morale, and you have to balance that with the morale impact of making the information workers show their faces often enough.
GPT-3 was trained on 1024 GPUs, which is hardly a blip on NVIDIA sales radar. Tuning an existing model, if you can get your hands on it is probably a lot less demanding.

The key idea behind the current wave of AI is that the necessary "structure" will be created through training by sheer amount of data. The idea has been dismissed for decades but it turned out one of the most effective ways to get practical results.

Now, can and should all structure necessarily come from pure training? Is there a better "seed" structure that can make models more effective? Is there some other bits that are missing that are not in the microstructure but in the way the model is connected to the external world and itself (feedback loops etc)?

I wholeheartedly agree with you, and I am so glad that wikimedia is pushing to stay truly open source.

Accepting these "sprinkles on top" licenses is highly foolish. I do hope that the true free and open source licensed software prevails in the server space. As many as possible must continue to hold out and push forward with new better and better scalable fully open source software.
Ah my mistake. I wonder if Roc plans to have first-class support/integrations for Elm frontends. Or maybe they’ll stay completely agnostic and just mention Elm in docs and examples?

In your metaphor, maybe what the LLM (chimpanzee) "brain" is missing is some things like an inner thought loop, long term and short term storage and context, etc. Pieces we can understand, build, and surround the LLM with. Given the right arrangement, and the correct "abracadabra," perhaps that gets to where we are.

It seems to me that LLMs are perhaps capable of making up the inner thought loop, and the rest of the obvious systems seem doable. The context seems to be the hard problem; pulling in the proper things, and giving them the correct amount of attention.

Depends on your comment philosophy.

Under mine, the AI should sign and date the comments, something like so

AI 20230524

Comments are an odd asset. Some of the most useful ones I've seen when debugging are rotted ones that describe the code that used to be there.

You'll then turn back the clock and find the bozo that "fixed" something by removing important code but for some reason left the comment behind. It's pretty common.

This AI tactic could protect against that so when the next bozo comes in with their wrecking ball fingers and leaves the ai comments behind, you can go in there with your mop and broom and recover things quicker.

What would be really nice is my favorite commenting technique which is where I write obvious but also counterintuitively very wrong code and I aggressively comment it like

"Hello, if you're here you may be asking yourself why it's not like this

(Wrong code)

I did too! That's what #231 and #302 are about! I know I know, I fell for it too. If you're going to change it, open a ticket or something because you're probably going to break it as well"

If the AI can do that then we're in gold territory
Symbolic maths that involves constants.

Processing tabular data such as spreadsheets.

Efficiency — invoking Python would be very inefficient for scenarios such as a math tutor AI checking a student’s arithmetic.

Generally I like to think of a useful AI as a hybrid between biological networks and computers. Give an LLM the ability to compute directly so it’s not emulating a human with a calculator, but working more like a human with a calculator neural implant.
What would you use this for? I don't get the whole picture and the article doesn't talk about it.
The LLM knows it doesn't work, too, we just don't run it long enough to let it try it out. It would try, get an error, and know how to handle the error.

Trust on first use is absolutely a valid use of PGP signatures that is being used in many real world systems (ask me how I know). You finding that PGP isn't being used they way you think it should does not justify removing it without providing a replacement.

Why on earth wasn't the community asked before you implemented this change?

> Given all of this, the continued support of uploading PGP signatures to PyPI is no longer defensible. While it doesn't represent a massive operational burden to continue to support it, it does require any new features that touch the storage of files to be made aware of and capable of handling these PGP signatures, which is a non zero cost on the maintainers and contributors of PyPI.

This uninformed reasoning is what's indefensible.
You get less input from the community than what you put in, but you also get different input than you would get from in-house devs who are all in the same bubble.
Honest question: why?

Why should people work so hard all the time? In the US, we are already insanely productive compared to almost every other worker in every other country and even compared to ourselves a few decades ago.

We work hard to bring value to our employer who wouldn't waste a minute for sympathy when they lay us off to increase their margins for a quarter, but you feel that we have to be productive all the time or else, what? We are immoral?

I contend that the worker owes nothing but fulfilling their job description. If you don't have work to do, then why find it?

There is no need to 'be productive' every working hour of every day if you don't have to be. To do so is insanity in my opinion. Go be with your family. Kids grow up way too fast and you are missing it.

our elites are desperate to maintain the Monopoly they have had for many years on the ability to insert ideas into the minds of young people, which they have done for decades through the educational curriculum... now that social media is so ubiquitous and older people are getting onto it, there is now another stream of ideas being fed into Young minds.. and the elites have nothing to do with it, which tears them up.. the elites understand something that normal people do not, which is that young people are shaped and molded by the ideas put in their heads.. the the child is the father of the adult, as the saying goes, and Proverbs 22:6 tells us, if you show a child the way that he is to go, when he is old he will not depart from it..

so that is how the elites transformed society, and divided society among the different factions and thus maintained control... by changing society via educational propaganda fed into Young minds... the elites have long had a monopoly on shaping society by shaping Young minds.. the elites fear that ordinary people will soon wake up to the power and potential in social media for older people to feed their ideas into the minds of younger people and thereby put a stop to The divided society the elites have created

Are there any Snap fans out there that are championing the technology? I only ever hear bad things about it (and I too, have experienced pain from it), but perhaps there's a bit of an echo chamber here.

My most recent sneaky Snap experience happened on my Pop_OS laptop. I decided to enable that extra Ubuntu Pro security repository since it's free for 5 devices. I followed the steps to enable it but then noticed that apt was installing the snapd package and a whole heap of dependencies! I quickly cancelled it, reverted the steps and decided to not bother with the Ubuntu Pro stuff again.

> it's not a matter of having a 100x more powerful LLM,

I think we all can agree that even the best LLM currently is not AGI. That's not what being disputed here I think.

However a 100x more powerful LLM is not just 100x better at recall. A 100x more powerful LLM is not just 100x better at being stupid hallucinatory parrot. A model that is just 100x bigger is not necessarily 100x more powerful if you define power is the ability to achieve goals.

However pure language models will always lack something else: the ability to ground things in reality.

I recently had a dream where I solved some problems and when I woke up I realized that those solutions were bullshit, but I also realized the whole approach of my dreaming self was very similar to what a LLM would have done.

Have you seen how many steps an AI would have to go through to do something as simple as division or square root of “just” a single number? This is an operation a calculator from the 1970s can do instantly but an AI running on a computer worth half a million and sucking down ten kilowatts of juice struggles with!

PS: I just asked GPT 4 to use long form division to calculate 73732/64. It took over ten seconds and the result was wrong.

One problem is that the current LLMs generate code without actually running and testing it. "Here is Python syntax I dreamed up using language manipulation, but never actually ran (since I have no way of doing that without your help); it should work for you!".

If the LLM is trained on arithmetic, its arithmetic results could be more accurate than its untested code, due to that being a simpler task with simple rules over a small number of symbols with a fixed meaning.

Situations in which the LLM produces code requires the operator to be a programmer, in order to understand, and test the code, possibly fixing it, and give feedback about it. Someone who just wanted the AI to check some arithmetic doesn't want to be checking the AI's buggy code and may not even know how.
He's advocating that the powers-that-be should consider targeting a slightly underdamped hiring system. Where they over-hire, and as they're overshooting the goal then reduce the rate of hiring, allowing the normal low rate of attrition to bring the PV back down to the SP.

e.g. a one-half critically-damped system. something following a standard first-order ODE like:

\frac{dh}{dt} = K_p (h^\* - h) - K_i \int (h^\* - h) dt - f(h)

where h is the instantaneous number of employees, h* is the desired number of employees, f(h) is your attrition rate as a function of current number of employees, and Kp and Ki are "rate of hiring" coefficients which will be your proportional and integral terms of a PID controller to control your rate of hiring. The point is, the "rate of layoffs" here is zero and doesn't appear as a term.

Is this a proper model for a human organization? Who the fuck knows but it's the model you're advocating for and I'm just re-explaining what the other guy you replied to was suggesting in the first place, but this time using your framing. Yes, he also mentioned they should consider a slightly over damped system but he 100% did advocate for considering an underdamped system.
People often have to uproot their lives to get into a new role. It's only ultimately worth it if it's a long-term commitment on both sides.

It will be hard to use the model without reproducing (copying) it.

You may consider any output of the model derivative work and then it would apply. But that goes against the understanding that outputs of ML models are copyrightable.

If however, someone runs the model for non-commercial purpose and you take the the output of the model and commercialize it...

Yes, I think that progress has become rapid enough that we can't predict six months out. I suspect that we are only 1-2 inventions away from something quite large and transformative.

Externalities never really get covered because there isn't somebody using that money to actually capture that CO² and reverse the damage. It's just a hairshirt that affects the poor most. Rich people still won't care. You could quadruple the price of a flight and affluent people wouldn't notice. Moderately wealthy people would, and they'd bitch about it, but still fly. Actually, if carbon taxes kept poor people off planes, rich folks could network! "Hey, I'm Jonathan. I work for one of the big four."

How about allocating carbon credits to people, annually? No trading. You have to budget. From the poorest hobo to Jeff Besos, everybody gets the same. But even that doesn't work. People will use their carbon! It would be like allocated PTO: none will be left on the table at the end of the year. So by setting a budget you are simultaneously ensuring that it becomes the minimum carbon emissions per person, unless you let people cash in unused carbon credits! The hobo gets a Christmas bonus from the CO² man!

But the whole system would be impossible to track and police.
