What Does It Mean to Align AI with Human Values? (2022)
Kid Cop Returns (Again and Again)
It's actually a good question :)
It is the backend - but a generic backend as opposed to a specially tailored open per case.

To clarify - FoAz is frontend only - like Serverless has no servers :D

The idea is that as a FE developer you can consume this as a generic service once and for all, without constantly going back to backend and devops to set up glue code routes.

Feel free to follow up with more questions, especially if I wasn't clear enough
Thank you. I'm going to check it out.
> If it says the actual reason

That is at best *an* actual reason.

Other factors can be demonstrated: for instance socioeconomic status has an impact on which kids are doing what as they grow up which itself has an impact on who makes it to professional level sports.

There are also different sort of racial components at play: is the reason why there aren't any white NFL cornerbacks because there aren't any white athletes capable of playing NFL-caliber cornerback? Or is it because white kids with a certain athletic profile wind up as slot receivers in high school while black kids with the same athletic profile wind up as defensive backs?
Install Any Website as PWA on iOS
Basically all of an actual software company is bullshit jobs unrelated to the core product like legal, marketing, investor relations, HR, maybe even developers for R&D etc.

Running a website doesn't require that many people.

I've worked at companies with 4 developers and 30+ "other stuff". The company would not be profitable and we would not get paid without them, but the actual product would work just fine if we wanted it to.
Right - people who are upset that their motherboard can just drop arbitrary executables into their OS ZOMG would do well to consider the fact that their motherboard is literally handling executing their OS and managing all input and output.

The issue here is not motherboard can execute arbitrary code. Motherboards are trusted hardware. You pass all your keystrokes, network traffic and memory transfers over it.

The issue is motherboard uses its trusted status to run software that performs raw HTTP downloads for firmware. Which is probably bad but might alternatively just be futureproofing to avoid having to deal with expiring certs.
I see you support timescaledb extension.

How does that work? Is a "chunk" in timescaledb split into "pages" and just streamed from S3?
And science (and humanity) will inevitably fall too. Perhaps in the distant future, but it will fall nonetheless.

You can just barely fit a 33B GPTQ model in 24GB VRAM. It will be in 4-bit mode, and without maximum context size, but it will be quite fast. Or you can run from RAM+VRAM in GGML format with llama.cpp (or a derivative), which will easily fit 65B models even at 5 or 8 bits, but at much lower speed.

> but today you will get scolded for asking such a complicated task of it.

Huh, I just double-checked ChatGPT 4 by feeding it a moderately complicated programming problem, and asked it to solve the problem in Rust. Performance looks solid, still. I gave it a deliberately vague spec and it made good choices.

And I've seen it do some really dramatic things in the last couple of weeks.

So I'm not seeing any significant evidence of major drops in output quality. But maybe I'm looking at different problems.
I don’t think that “prompt engineering” is quite the same thing as clearly specifying the problem. If I’m using a magic AI code-writing companion or asking an actual human to write code for me, I need to define the problem well enough if I want any expectation of getting _correct_ code.

A skilled human will distinguish themselves from a less skilled human by also thinking about the overall problem and helping make sure the specification is correct. This far, I have not seen an AI meet that bar unless the problem is something well-covered already on the web.

I have seen ChatGPT (3.5 and 4) output code that is syntactically correct, executes without errors, and does the wrong things in ways that are not entirely obvious to me until I read the docs myself.
its my experience that you can say this for most things the non-academic community does. this isn't a criticism of them or you for saying it, but its p constant. the worst offenders in my experience are AAA game devs. ive had so many conversations where they imply they've solved some deep computing problem that was formally solved in 1954 by a set theorist or linguist heh
That's a strange conclusion to jump to.

Perhaps the commenter wasn't shopping online, took a while to find such a scale in the stores, and so wasn't lying.

An opinion is all you have, because we know nothing about you other than that you think that a number means anything.

That's some grade-A elitism you have there, btw.

What exactly do you think I do all day? Are you hiding behind your cute little throwaway account because you want to dig into people's history on HN and casually insult them without anyone figuring out who you are?

Do us a service and provide your real HN or LinkedIn so we can all know what company not to work for.

> Like I said, some people are not cut out for this kind of work at all and would be better to leave the industry.

Pure elitism. No, we don't need people like you in the software industry, or really any industry. You're an insufferable jerk, and I hope you don't treat your coworkers this way. Nobody cares how smart or experienced you are. If you think that people who don't drink the passion kool-aid are a bunch of do-nothings that ruin codebases and get nothing done, and that viewpoint informs how you work with other developers, then you're the one who doesn't belong.

> Actual programmers will read ravenstine's comments without context or research and believe they're reading career wisdom

Because "actual" programmers can't think for themselves?

> rather than the anti-intellectual frustrations of mediocrity.

sigh

> In context, ravenstine is saying "I should have stopped caring after a few years working as a software developer"

No. If you were accurate, you'd have paraphrased me as saying "I should have cared less earlier in my career as a software developer". Not "stopped caring", you fool.

Maybe the problem is analogous to what Orwell describes here:

I'm not surprised that a haphazardly organized group of people /can/ run a site like rarbg. It's just interesting how volatile (this isn't the right word but I'm not sure what is) the operations of these sites tend to be in light of the fact that the sites hold a lot of cultural value. RARBG was incredibly popular and was an important resource for torrenting. It's rare to see sites of that size and importance run in that way these days.

GPT-3.5 is up to 175B parameters, GPT-4 (which is what OP is asking for) has been speculated as having 1T parameters, although that seems a little high to me.

It's easy to run a much worse model on much worse hardware, but there's a reason why it's only companies with huge datacenter investments running the top models.
Does it run on the cloud? Or does it run locally on your computer? I wonder if there is work being done on giving GIMP this ability?
Previous HN thread, with a decent summary at the top:

The main thing that summary is missing is that the one who resigned was one of the most popular contributors and a member of the core team, and that it was some unidentified member of the core team who pulled the strings to revoke the invitation without a vote.
Number one in performance / watt? maybe? sales? Well no. According to the web[1] total chip sales in 2022 excluding arm amount to 374 million units. Server chips being 36.1 million units. Apple's biggest quarter in 2022 was 7 million macs in Q4[2].

> By not using Windows

I'm not sure that is a real solution. The motherboard manufacturer could target other OSes as well, so unless you use a Mac where the hardware is fully controlled by Apple, you'll end up at risk.

In any OS, you'd proba ly have to maintain an explicit "allow list" for any executables that you are OK running on your machine, and make sure that you don't accept any updates without explicitly checking the source yourself.
I don't get why he is disappointed at ThePrimeagen and the people that forked the language.

I only got to know about the trademark policy draft because of his video, and he was pretty much just reading the document and commenting about the weird stuff. Why would you be disappointed at someone who is just sharing information? I'm disappointed at who WROTE the document in the first place. What should ThePrimeagen have done? Just ignore it?

And who cares if some people forked the language? The language is open source, they are playing by the rules. Blaming the community won't solve anything, we should blame those in power.
Let's hope the same doesn't happen to Rutracker.
One of the things I realised after shipping my app, was that almost everything I was worried about before the launch was completely irrelevant. It's quite nice being in a bubble and just continuing to make something you like working on, I actually really miss that feeling, but the reality is most of what you make will have to change as soon as people use it.

Before shipping, I had no sense of how large the landscape was and how much noise there is - the trickiest part for me was getting people to see it.

I don't think it's any worse at all. I think what most people are expressing here is reaching the limits of the technology and realizing that it's not magic.
Yep. AI Horde.

I dunno about training. There have been promises of p2p AI training ever since the crypto/web3 boom, but thats far less trivial to network than inference jobs like AI Horde does. Vast.ai is kinda like p2p GPU compute.

Just to be clear, The Grayzone has been pushing stories that echo Russian propaganda talking points (The British wanting to bomb the bridge between Ukraine and Crimea Ukrainian leadership are Neo-nazis etc). They're not bastions of the Free Press.

The press should be allowed to operate, but I'm done with right wing bloggers dignifying the spreading of conspiracy theories as "journalism".
There is so much parallel progress happening left and right at the same time they are not there yet. When things like sparseGPT and models fine-tuned with data with tool ability (not just instruct data) may be soon we get there, as long as there is progress i am hopeful. Some sort of inference optimized hardware would also help.
I would monitor and research each of these top models to determine which best fits your use case.

Try getting GPT-4 to spit out that much code and have it be coherent and run together.
The rupee is falling until it doesn’t and reverses course. The rupee falls because of numerous reasons primary among them being increased imports of oil and gas due to high growth. Increased exports have just started showing up in the numbers as India exported $750bn in exports for the first time ever. With the work on solar (go read about the progress of international solar alliance and the work done in Gujarat etc), hydrogen, EVs, flex petrol, etc the demand for oil and gas will only go down in 5 years.

India’s economy is getting a push as is clearly visible from some indisputable numbers like the digital transactions, sales of cars, homeowners count, etc. It’s just that all sources of income are not yet formalized in the huge country that is India so there is some extrapolation that needs to be done.

The Guinness book has recognized the Indian govt’s work for the most kilometers of roads constructed in a day and the new methodology is in use in other countries like the US as per the Minister, then it means the foreigners must be okay with manipulated numbers.
I haven't noticed ChatGPT-4 to give worse answers overall recently, but I have noticed it refusing to answer more queries. I couldn't get it to cite case law, for example (inspired by that fool of a lawyer who couldn't be bothered to check citations).
We already know the likely answer to this. They didn't make it terribly evident to Google Voice (Former Grand Central) users that their data was being utilized to train their transcription models for visual voicemail and the like. Google has long since strayed from their do not evil model.

People would be wise to de-Googlify their digital presence as best they can.

The new Gmail ads are atrocious too, IMHO. Peppering ads that "appear" as emails into my Gmail feed seems over the top. I'd rather pay $6/mo, and do, for a single-user Microsoft 365 tenant, which nets me 1TB of cloud storage, in addition to 50 GB of email. I trust Microsoft more than I do Google at this stage.
Considering less is more, wouldn't colorless be exactly the right name?
I think a lot of people are unaware that these models have an enormous human training component performed through companies such as Amazon Mechanical Truk and dataannotation.tech. Called Human Intelligence Tasks, a large number of people have been working in this area for close to a decade. Dataannotation Tech claims to have over 100k workers. From Cloud Research,

"How Many Amazon Mechanical Turk Workers Are There in 2019? In a recent research article, we reported that there are 250,810 MTurk workers worldwide who have completed at least one Human Intelligence Task (HIT) posted through the TurkPrime platform. More than 226,500 of these workers are based in the US."
A lot of people in this thread are making fuzzy claims. We can only evaluate if there are clear examples and test results.

Is anyone taking screenshots or sharing their chat logs, where they run the same questions over some time period?

The narrative that the only artists affected by AI are mediocre and derivative and thus deserve what they get, is just propaganda. AI was trained to replicate the distinctive style of artists who "have a name" and "matter," and those artists likely work for companies that are training in-house AIs on their own IPs as we speak.

"struggled to get paid for expensive manual labor?" You seem to have a contempt for most working artists, because most struggle to get paid regardless of talent, not because they're incompetent but because art of any kind has always been a difficult market. And yes, it's hard work, which many people fail to appreciate. You're really illustrating my point more than I think you intend to.
Is anyone doing real work with Pascal these days? I would like to write something modern (e.g. perhaps some computer vision code) in Pascal.

Pascal was the language where I had my first epiphany of how programming abstractions worked and I fell in love with programming. This after a quarter of programming in Fortran 77 which made me hate programming. Then came Turbo Pascal and the IBM PC and I was fully hooked. I haven't programmed a stitch of Pascal in over 30 years, but I would like to see how productive I could be with it now.
I do get your point, but I also wonder if this could be the exception rather than the rule. Google still appears very active in setting web standards and contributing a lot of open technology and standards.
I know my comment is not directly related to the post, but it's not completely unrelated. Nvidia's CEO gave a commencement speech recently. In that, he said:

I contacted the CEO of Sega and suggested that they should find another partner.
But I also needed Sega to pay us in full or Nivida would be out of business.

Just like failures, there are lessons for learning behind every success. Does anyone here have any insight - how did Nvidia came out of the above embarrassing and incompetency phase, and became a path-breaking, and trend-setting power house?

This is inevitable. Elsewhere, I've argued that the most likely response is to replicate Middle Age European guilds -- for isolated communities to train their own LLMs on their own proprietary or confidential texts, and use them only through internal tooling.

Extreme amounts of regulatory capture. Americans don't even begin to comprehend how much of the apparatus of the government is used purely to make them not only buy and drive a car, but to pay exorbitant markups on that car, both up-front and over the long run with aftermarket sales.

I guess he meant what he wrote: that the site was immensely useful, with just a handful of people behind it.
