It's business. While I do hate reddit with the passion of a thousand burning suns I acknowledge their right to set their API prices however they wish. They are not a monopolist by any stretch of the word.
It helps by putting more emphasis on growing things native to a region, rather than feeding the entire world on corn, rice, wheat, dairy, pork, beef, and chicken.
Thanks that's really positive to hear! And I agree. Where everyone is talking about AI I'm really thinking, what does a private human only network look like. We should really just all go offline but in the digital world that means going private and not letting AI see our conversations. You can bet every corporation is now running chats through AI. You have no control over this. Plus yea the addictive nature of social media has made it really hard to detach from it. If we could slow down the pace, maybe we give ourselves a chance to reset and recover.
It is weird, but GPT-3 is worse than much smaller LLaMA models so I doubt it would see much use anyway.
Minister of State is a generic executive position that is created to reward medium level politicians.

Satyapal Singh specifically helped the BJP win over the Jat community in Western Uttar Pradesh which before 2014 voted for the RLD (a Jat primary party in western UP, Rajasthan, and Haryana).

By rewarding him, with a low level backbench minister position, he can provide patronage to the rest of his patronage network.

He also tried to save Amit Shah+Modi's political skin during the Ishrat Jahan encounter killing case while he was part of the IPS.

Indian politics is heavily based on micro-level community based calculations because of how close elections are in India (most elections are decided within 5,000 votes ie. one town). Due to this, caste, family, and regional patronage networks form, and this is common across all parties (INC, BJP, etc).

For example, Modi rose to power in Gujarat by helping organize a Dalits+Tribal+Urban coalition in the 1980s and 90s at the expense of a combined Muslim+Patel voting bloc. This same template Modi used is what the BJP has been using since 2014 (intersectionality of identity based on Hinduism ie. Hinduvta).

And the same thing happened in Satyapal Singh's area during the Muzaffarnagar/Shamli riots when the Dalit Hindu + Dalit Muslim voter bloc split due to communal violence, leading to Hindu Dalits leaving the BSP for the BJP, Hindu Jatts leaving the RLD for BJP, and Dalit Muslims leaving the BSP to support the Samajwadi Party because there was no other viable party left in Western Uttar Pradesh.

I am not a fan of the BJP, but you got to hand it to them - they are probably the only national party in India with a strong understanding of subaltern power struggles and micro-level demographic data. Anyone in the INC who knew this stuff defected to the BJP by 2019 anyhow, but might defect back to the INC assuming the right PM candidate is selected (Gehlot would be a strong competitor against Modi, RG would have a hard time)
I asked a question for clarification.
> And why focus on extinction in particular?

> runaway AI is a way off yet, and that it will take a significant scientific advance to get there—one that we cannot anticipate

So an AI that may cause our extinction may be a result of a scientific advance "we cannot anticipate"? And you're having trouble understanding why people are concerned?

All the problems you've listed (COVID, global warming, war in the Ukraine) are considered problems because they cause SOME people to die, or may cause SOME people to die in the future. Is it really that difficult to understand why the complete extinction of ALL humans and ALL life would be a more pressing concern?
The interesting bit here is that the partner got a job in tech "right away" and she had to look for a long time. Without that partner - how much fun would it have been?

I haven't used zulip, especially at a workplace, but the thing that Slack does so much better than everything else I've tried, is search.

How is Zulip for search for large orgs with millions of messages? Discord doesn't hold a candle to Slack.

For context, I'm not talking just about the ease and speed of searches, but also about the support for basic filters, exact phrase searching (Discord doesn't have this) or bypassing fuzzy search (Discord always fuzzy searches on the individual words of your search words)
There was indeed a pandemic. Are you saying that is what caused homicide rates to spike amongst African Americans and not Caucasians? Has the homicide rate gone down since then? I would posit that police withdrew from high crime / predominantly African American areas and in the void that was created, violence increased. Logically if there is a high crime area and you remove police enforcement from it, then crime will increase. My focus is not on the African American murder rate though, that is just a pertinent example of my overall point which stating that if you remove law enforcement or otherwise cripple them, then crime will increase as is happening in SF which was described in the original article.
Thanks! Gotta give credit to a past friend and colleague who came up with that idea when we went through a previous incarnation of this for teams during the pandemic.
Indicates the inevitability of reduced time that it takes for fake history and data to be declared valid and widely defended by core institutions.

Eventually the onslaught of subtle yet elaborate falsehoods will overwhelm the institutional filters.
I found it quite funny to try out, even if it isn't that impressive in the bot answers.
Humans seemed to just have an easy way of knowing each other based on posting nonsense as the first message, so that probably needs to be taken into consideration.

"what many immigrants and Americans born into poverty are able to do here"

Depends on what "what" means. If it means the high life, "many" is still a tiny fraction. We all want to believe you can hit it big in the USA, but the reality is that, statistically, you won't. Just one of many articles on the subject (and not the most damning that I can remember): https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=466245...
My understanding is that LLMs use Reddit comments as training data. These LLMs are often well funded and Reddit is using this to their advantage. Suddenly, a decade or so of this kind of data has turned to gold and damned if a company soon to travel down an IPO pathway is passing this cash cow up.
Ever since learning the phrase "enshittification" [1] from Cory Doctorow it becomes more apparent when it happens around you.

I wonder if there is a "fediverse" for something like forums? I can never get into mastodon because it's not like forums and conversations between people are quite hard if you don't follow them.

Does Iceland actually care much? I don't imagine they'd let you host an actual warez site a la 2000 or so, but a site just hosting magnet links seems like something they'd mostly allow, and they DEFINITELY have the infrastructure to handle it.

That all said, I'm always amazed that these sites don't just move to i2p/tor. The torrents themselves have been decentralized with DHT and magnet links for awhile. At the end of the day it seems like they've just been hanging on trying to avoid being so in the shadows that they get less traffic as a result.
I decided not to commercialize nbdev
Precisely - the true danger is disempowerment of humans - all of them. It doesn't matter which monkey in the cage figures out how to pull the grenade pin.

There's a mob of dreamy libertarian techbros on HN who are (often wilfully) ignorant of the dangers. I'll start worrying about military robots after we figure out how to prevent the Earth from being dismantled, which very well might transpire first, if and when there's significant architecture breakthroughs.

AI does not need to be evil, it does not need to be conscious, it does not even need to be severely misaligned with human values, and it really doesn't matter if the goal of "eat all the humans" arises from a model hallucination or from a misanthropic troll in his basement typing it into his looped uncensored-LLaMAv3+plugins instance.

Bone-in pork shoulder is $5/lb at my store, though if you buy a huge 10 lb package it goes down to $4/lb. Boneless is $6/lb.
I've used Zulip in the past. Very nice software. At the time (they still may), push notifications were supported for self-hosted servers. It was a joy to use the software.

Sure is a good thing AI hasn't ever gotten better in unpredictable ways before.
Not experienced with Zeal, but I have used devdocs, which is open source. Devdocs parses the relevant documentation pages and stores them in a more structured way inside a browser database file. I would prefer to keep that in a local SQLite file I fully control. However, storing the data is not enough, I need an easy way to search and browse the documentation. Datasette is a Python project which spawns a web interface to a SQLite database which gives an interactive way to explore the data. This interface should be sufficient for locally hosting and searching the documentation.
If you mean AGI as something that is equivalent to a human in reasoning capabilities, then we will definitely be able to control it, because its no different than controlling a human.

If you mean AGI in the sense of singularity, where it can self improve and get smatter, the question of that even being able to happen in the first place relies on P=NP being proven first.
Tangential Question (purely curious): How to you validate your code produces the same (presumedly correct) results as the non-optimized (presumedly HLL) code for something as complex and variable as DNA analysis? I run into an analogous concern when people talk about "we need to rewrite this exhaustively tested with decades of track record Fortran 77 code in (whatever the new hotness in PLT is)".
I can log in with my Spotify premium account to a number of third party clients without expecting them to contain the same thing as the official one, no auditing by Spotify needed.
Spot on, this is my experience as well. A lot of the once-sketchy parts of Berkeley, Oakland, East Palo Alto, etc. have gentrified and become safer since the 70s and 80s. Part of that has been big shifts in racial makeup and socioeconomics. Starting in the mid-late 90s tech began to really dominate Bay Area employment, bringing in a lot of new (well-paid) people and forcing out many others.
Compared to what? Amazon has just as many or more knock off products and every Amazon basics product I've tried has been worse by a wide margin.

I have not seen any decrease in speed with ChatGPT-4. It has become more stupid though. It gives results that you even ask it not to give. It has some sort of amnesia.

Even if there are other services that in the short term can beat ChatGPT with this specific LLM it is obvious that they will eventually hit the same limits.
same for me - also the api itself is very unstable
sometimes the same prompt finish’s within a minute, sometimes our client timesout after 10 minutes and sometimes the api sends a 502 bad gateway after 5-10 minutes.
the very same request then runs fine within a few minutes after a delay of 5 minutes.
the results vary very much, even with a temperature of 0.1

requests that needs responses with over ~2k tokens almost always fails, the 8k cannot be used

I try to use the api for classification of tickets, which i thought the model would be a good choice to use for

Seems to include things like bacon and deli ham in the average which are obviously much more than $5/lb. Also things like deli-cooked ribs.

But it seems to be a meticulously calculated average of actual retail prices.

> Cheaper and faster GPT-4 — This is their top priority. In general, OpenAI’s aim is to drive “the cost of intelligence” down as far as possible and so they will work hard to continue to reduce the cost of the APIs over time.

this certainly aligns with the massive (albeit subjective and anecdotal) degradation in quality i've experienced with ChatGPT GPT-4 over the past few weeks.

hopefully a superior (higher quality) alternative surfaces before its unusable. i'm not considering continuing my subscription at this rate.

This is a great example of an AI that kills people when it's not used properly. And a great example of exactly how people are going to ignore any and all instructions on how to use the AI safely. Not all people, of course, but enough of them that it'll be at least statistically relevant.
Remember when COVID hit and some people were saying "1% chance of death isn't much" and then they had to be informed that 1% is very high and we're in serious trouble?

> nobody's being oppressed from not being able to buy an ICBM or antipersonnel mines or a machine gun.

Unless an oppressive adversary has such weapons (ICBMs, antipersonnel mines, or machine guns), wants control of your land, and decides to take it. In that situation, a country will seek to utilize such or more powerful weaponry for themselves to defend their people. If that country (1) did not manufacture such weaponry inside their borders and (2) were prevented from purchasing such weaponry from other countries by blockade, sanction, or other means, then yes, those people will be oppressed.

I really want to be the fly in the room looking at their grafana for monthly active users and see what happens to it in the coming months.

I’m someone with ADHD and obsessive behavior is kinda one of the main symptoms of it. I think with this change, it’s not going to be hard for someone like me to drop it.

I suspect that because of these changes, Reddit is also going to make it harder for search engines to index them - which is going to further reduce how useful Reddit is for information discovery.

This is going to hurt reddit, and I personally don’t think the growth is going to be as strong as it has been once they take these actions. Social media sites depend on their users, and arguably only a small portion of their users create content. And a smaller portion that than create useful content. Once you’ve pissed off and pushed away that small %, you’re not recovering.

I’m guessing this is some decisions made by MBAs who have learned some theoretical stuff, but don’t realize their courses haven’t really covered businesses like Reddit, Twitter, StackOverflow etc. They’re in for a rude awakening.

Remember that Tumblr effectively died once they made some decisions.
And how would your understanding change based on the answer? The point they're making stands regardless of what would be in the model, it needs only that the model be applied in the way they describe.
You left out “imagined”.
@dang I refresh HN way too often and didn't even see this - 240 points, 152 comments, and it's on page 3 in position 81. What's up/can we merge all these threads?

Edit: in particular asking because it's not visibly flagged
At the risk of an extreme facepalm moment given the {obvious danger, code smell, worst practice, etc.} I still feel compelled to ask: don't the languages already supported offer an execution gateway (like the backtick operator or shell_exec() in php) such that an extremely lightweight wrapper would allow this to run your bash scripts?
Not to the same extent, no, but you can still see it hit hard in one way and shatter under the slightest tap in another way which was all I was trying to say.

> The argument you are putting forth boils down to folks like Apollo should receive free API access

Incorrect. Straw man. I already explained this in another comment (which you already replied to, so you know this). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36142316

> Apollo currently makes millions in profit

Citation needed.

> Apollo's own business model requires income to continue to run... so Reddit's doesn't?

Reddit is making a lot of income.

> This is just a silly discussion to be having.

Yes, because you keep making extremely uncharitable interpretations of my comments.
A big claim like this requires a source and not handwavy estimates from the person who is impacted by this change (and upset for good reason!).

Otherwise I will ignore this claim because we simply don't know what ad revenue per user is, and we don't know what Reddit's projected future revenue per user is, which I would also expect to be covered by this pricing.
To name two Turing award winners: are you asserting that Geoff Hinton and Yoshua Bengio are pushing the AI risk narrative primarily because they're compromised by financial incentives?

Geoff Hinton /left his job/ at Google because he sees the risks as real, so I think that's a tough case to make.

How about more R&D into tasty, nutritious, resource-efficient, and cruelty-free food?

I'm reminded by whiffs of neighborhood summer barbecues that vegetarian food alternatives still haven't solved every problem, and the clinging to meat isn't just (no pun) pigheadedness.
I'm not really sure how to evaluate the hypothetical. When personal computers were invented during the Cold War, lots of people correctly realized that they were special and different and would radically change society in ways which had nothing to do with the political conflicts of the day.
"sexy elbows fetish" is an old meme
It’s a Reddit client. It’s marginally better than the official one but there is absolutely no way that it’s 5$ a month better to most user. I did purchase it and thought it was too expensive for what it is (it’s noticeably worse than most free Android client for exemple) and always refused to pay the subscription because, well, it’s a bloody Reddit client.
So it should be called VMPU then, not GPU.
cto @ onu here. We currently support adding secrets through our web interface, but if you're self-hosting your Onu tasks you can use your existing secret management service (AWS/GCP Secret Manager, etc) the same way you would throughout your codebase.

The Onu frontend can't be self-hosted yet, but it's on our roadmap.

Your Onu tasks live in a directory in your codebase, so you should be able to write and test them the same way you do with other code in your codebase, and use existing business logic by importing it. Our CLI has a local dev studio for testing out scripts locally before deploying. We're also actively working on user groups & permissions - this isn't live yet, but we're planning to add this directly to our SDK so you can define permissions in code

Pork isn't considered as lean and healthy as chicken and so it gets a bad rap in online recipes. That's because they seem to be tailored to creating BBQ or pork belly or bacon-wrapped things which are considered unhealthy. But some cuts of pork are lean and can be included in healthier recipes. Pork needs some marketing help in the online recipes dept.
The year is 2030, and ScaryBadLand announces in a shocking revelation at the United country alliance that they have hooked AI to nukes, they declare that any dissent or economic action that can be seen as harming their national interests will result immediate and punishing nuclear attacks, there is no way to warn against when this may occur so all other countries that they have immediately one all future and current negotiations, in this scenario the only option seen is to deploy our own nuclear deterrent of equal capacity to reestablish MAD.

Indian here. Your exchange doesn't surprise me one bit. The Hindu nationalists are some of the most delusional, ultra-nationalistic, racist morons out there.

Many of them think India is going to be the next superpower and economic miracle out there. There's a large number of them working in big tech, and they'll say how fantastic India is, now that there are very high-paying tech jobs available there (almost all of them in American companies) and this gives them fantastic standards of living because they can easily afford maids and cooks aka cheap labor they can exploit. I scratch my head and wonder, if India is so good WTF are they still doing here, while also working on their Green Card petitions?

> Surely you have been put in time-out by your parents or gotten a toy taken away which illustrated this point for you.

Your parents also put a roof over your head, feed you and hopefully provide a positive environment that fosters growth. The government is 100% punishment, even the support it gives gets fed into structurally unequal feedback loops. Like WIC cards given to people who can only spend them at food deserts.
