you keep making up that strawman "making loans to people who can't pay." they literally pay, and they literally always pay, by the definition of the phrase "unforgivable loan." It is not the bank's job to make sure you take out a loan and live comfortably, instead of taking out a loan and have to sleep on a bunk bed with a roomate for a decade, while eating lentils and the cheapest of ground beef.

I'm not going to bother reading your reply, because you seem to regurgitate the same thing over and over again, without understanding that what you are saying is factually wrong. All I can say is, good luck in life without comprehension of simple things. You're gonna need it.

It's simple, GPT4 is using only the content on the internet to generate the output. Whether it used magic, understanding or fairy tales help it come up with the output is the irrelevant middle part.

I can look at a bunch of faces, consider my interactions with other faces IRL that aren't copyrighted or restricted and my output can be original because while I am informed of all the faces I have seen, the mona lisa I draw is an expression of thoughts and views not a mere modification based on my understanding of the concept of faces.

In other words, LLMs use a prompt to do stuff, they don't just say and do things because they want to express themsleves, therefore their output is not their expression or the expression of their owners but a processing of their input based on the prompt.

To simplify this even more, if a script parses the Linux Kernel's code and outputs some video game because the programmer told it to, and it's only input is the Linux kernel then is that video game subject to GPL?

If a human reads that same code and writes a video game, even if that human only knows the kernel's code we can say that since humans think and apply their own ideas, the kenrel code was merely informative.

Now, if GPT4 is able to use it's training data (internet) to output arbitrary content without being prompted and the results of a prompt are based on it's normal thought process that wis independent of a human prompt then you can argue it is like an assistant helping the prompter human, but right now it is a tool that "understands" (i disagree but that's a different debate) publicly available internet content and processes prompts based on that "understanding" without applying it's own ideas, feelings or thoughts. It can be argued that its output is a mere processing of largley copyrighted content, similar to re-encoding a copyrighted movie.

I would think what makes or breaks this in a US court is the question of "can a reasonable person who knows how chargpt works look at a prompt, output and conclude part of the output at least was a mere processing of, as opposed to original content that was inspired by the copy righted content?"

The great part of “systems engineering” is that the fundamentals have not changed in the last like 30-40 years. If you have a basic university undergrad level understanding of operating systems you can work up from the fundamentals to understand what is going on and your knowledge will probably never go out of date in your career.

It definitely isn’t for everyone and you need to be very persistent, but I enjoy not having to relearn tech stacks every 4 years and job security for Wizards tends to be quite good. The downside is you can spend 80+ hours tracking down a bug that results in a one line change (don’t ask me how I know).

I loved the marketing bell curve. But there were terrible opinions here which show other relevant chasms that were not detailed. Parroting C#'s supposed superiority to Objective-C shows an embarrassing lack of understanding of the languages differences, development ecosystems and strengths. I would never use C# where I needed to interact with native code -- Objective-C can do so with immense power and practicality.
As a mildly related curiosity, why didn't 4G memory address threshold on PCs get referred to as 'the bar'? I see in the first answer, both 1M and 4G RAM thresholds get referred to as lines, which matches the terminology mainframes used for 16M threshold. That would seem to correspond more closely with 1M than 4G...

I'm gonna go ahead and claim that laws that incur a penalty for not reporting a crime, are not commensurate with legal obligation. Such a charge sounds like a plea bargain or additional-charges or inconvenience-a-witness tool, than a legal concern. The charges for failing to report a crime are subject to prosecution that includes due process (proof, legal prosecution, etc). It's nearly impossible to prove that you witnesses a crime you didn't report without some paper/video/interview trail. This is partly why you never talk to police without a lawyer, as it can get you caught up in such a charge by your own statements.

It didn't even try on my question of Jarvis standings desks, which is a fairly old product that hasn't changed up.. Their typical "My knowledge cutoff..." response doesn't even make sense. It screwed up another question I asked it about server uptime and four-9s, Bard got it right.

I've moved back to Bard for the time being...It's way faster as well. And GPT-4's knowledge cutoff thing is getting old fast.

Example prompt: how much does a 48 x 30 inch jarvis bamboo standing desk setup weigh?

I still have the spec sheet from my order back in 2020. So I can verify the weights.

ChatGPT
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, I don't have the exact weight of a 48 x 30 inch Jarvis Bamboo standing desk setup. However, on average, standing desks can range anywhere from around 60 to 100 pounds or more, depending on the specific configuration (like the choice of frame, desktop material, and any additional features).

Jarvis Bamboo standing desks are made of a bamboo top and an electric lift frame. The weight of the bamboo top for that size should be around 30-40 pounds. The frame itself can weigh anywhere from 50-70 pounds.

For a more accurate weight, I would recommend checking the manufacturer's specifications on their website or contacting their customer support directly for this information.

The fully assembled Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk weighs 92 pounds. The desktop itself weighs 38 pounds, and the frame weighs 54 pounds. The desk can hold a maximum weight of 350 pounds.

Here are some of the features of the Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk:

Electric height adjustment from 25.5 to 51 inches
Memory presets for up to 4 different heights
3-stage gas spring mechanism
Bamboo desktop with a scratch-resistant finish
Black powder-coated steel frame
10-year warranty on the frame and 5-year warranty on the desktop

Huh? When did Big Tech apologise for anything, let alone change their ways?

I must have missed that...
I think the whole point is to call the bluff.

If it’s really valuable IP that they protecting with a non-compete, then it would be worth it to pay someone a mandatory vacation upon leaving.

But how often are non-compete clauses really meant to protect IP? Most of the time it’s a tool to depress wages, they know it, we know it, they know we know it. No one is being fooled here that’s all it is.

If you put a price on non-competes, they will go away.

I unfortunately do not, as this was over 20 years ago. I guess "trust me" that it happened, because - again "trust me" - this was the thing that over 20 years ago got me to never take another toll road. I did give google a go as well, and after a full 45 seconds could not find it.

Here is an article
https://www.wbez.org/stories/how-your-private-illinois-tollw...

"many of the requests for I-Pass records in civil matters were divorce cases"

This is from the first search result linked in the other reply.

"In child custody disputes, a parent who believes the other parent is not fulfilling their parental duties may use this data to establish the parent is not caring for the child. A parent may use the data to establish the other is not with the child, but instead on the road headed to a different location, such as a race track. The parent who believes the other is not meeting their obligations may be able to use this information during custody litigation or as support for a modification to an existing agreement"

"“We routinely utilize I-Pass records in discovery,” says Maureen A. Gorman, a divorce litigator at my Chicago law firm."

Now, let me spread some more anger, because let's face it, people love being angry. Road tolls were supposed to be temporary, to finance building the roads. They were never supposed to stay permanent. Toll revenue is more than road maintenance. In fact, over 50% of toll revenue, is redirected to other uses, and increases close to 100% per decade. Some of it is used for mass transit - so people in cars, pay for people on the subway. Many toll roads (and city parking meters, and red light and speed cameras) are run by private companies, with taxpayer-paid city staff enforcing that private corporation's profit.

What can you do? Only thing I've found is to not participate, at a great inconvenience to yourself. No, I don't use city parking meters. I pay way, way more, for private parking - although I'm only in a car a few weeks per year, usually in a work-paid rental. The benefit - for me - is to fall asleep fast, without laying there for hours in the dark getting more and more pissed off at things I can't fix.

It's not bananas. What's bananas is the idea of getting all your raw materials from mines on the Earth, launching those to space factories, then sending the finished products back to Earth.

Obviously, the goal is to do the mining in space (moon, asteroids, etc.), and then use those raw materials in space factories.

Also came here to say climbing (specifically bouldering). I moved to a smaller city in the south last fall and within a month had a handful of new friends through the gym. Pretty soon got in with the crew of folks who worked there, started climbing outside with some of them and eventually ended up working part time at the gym as a side thing.

That being said, I think there's something about the community at this particular gym that is special. I climbed for years at gyms in Chicago and never had anything close to the level of community I found in a couple months down here. I'm sure my attitude / situation had something to do with it, as I went in this time with the intention to make friends and had a lot of free time to be able to spend at the gym; but the gym / community makes a huge difference. Look for smaller / community focused gyms if you can or try out a few different gyms to see if you click with any particular group of people. Try to go to events the gyms put on and be a familiar face.
I'm sorry that people downvoted you (they did it to me too, so I can commiserate). Imo, your question is totally valid. It's likely that you are correct in this case, and that I am in fact subconsciously relating the aforementioned phrase that annoys me with the painful period of social upheaval that we experienced here in the US.

It's important to remember that during that time, many words were misappropriated (edit) by both sides in order to fit an agenda. Before that period of upheaval, the phrases that were misappropriated were not generally offensive, even to the people who found them confusing. Up until that point I truly believe that most people regarded such unrelatable concepts (i.e. a person identifying as something other than their physical makeup would suggest) as being simply unrelatable, but tolerable. I don't think most people had strong feelings one way or the other before the upheaval. I think when I hear those "dirty" words now though, that I experience some form of PTSD. The people with the megaphone (again, on all sides) did a damn fine job dividing all of us, imo.
It's really not bad. It's gotten much simpler and faster in the past 5-ish years. If you take the time to learn it, it does pretty much everything you want, and there's always the API, extensions, automations, etc.

But it's an opinionated tool. Almost every person I have ever worked with has never read the docs, so they just sort of suffer and complain and never learn that they're using it wrong. I'm the guy on every job that has to teach the team how to use Confluence and Jira correctly. My biggest challenge in making Jira work well is convincing coworkers to stop using it wrong. (They'd rather come on HN and complain about it than read the docs or take a Udemy course)

All this is compounded by people who don't even know how to do Scrum or Kanban or even basic project management, so their complaints are also often just people who don't know how to work. Which, again, is most people I have worked with.

My experience with the hierarchy stuff was a lot worse in "traditional" martial arts versus something like BJJ. You've got a lot of "fake" black belts in TKD in part because it's mostly forms work and not really tested. Some sparing matches go hard, but that's rarely the case as you don't really want to be kicking with full force with your sparing partner. So the skill vs skill tests are much more limited.

In BJJ, you're typically going to be rolling with full effort. You're going to be put in a real choke hold and you're really going to go to sleep if you don't tap. We don't slam the joint locks the way you might see in a tournament setting with money on the line, but a slow and safe arm bar will work as well if you've actually got control of the limb. So for me the ranking in BJJ feels more aligned to actual ability to me than my experience with TKD did because you're getting a real test of your skills every class. The sorting feels more natural and everyone can clearly see the differences in skill play out daily.

You respect your classmates and seniors more because of your experiences rolling with them and less because it's demanded by the belt system and and built in by tradition.
That's weird. I use F# because of its pragmaticism. Every other language tacks on feature after feature. I would say my F# code is boring, which is what I love about F#. And it's especially boring compared to other functional languages. The other pragmatic functional languages are Erlang and Elixir.

I would consider most popular languages, like C#, Java, and Python decidely unpragmatic as languages. There's way too many hoops to jump through to concisely describe the problem domain. In F#, I define some types that describe the domain, write some functions, and move on. It's that easy.
Hahaha, "when the schema is consistent". The strong typing herd keeps thinking it can smash reality into a square hole.

The problem with epiphenomenalism seems to be that it is unfalsifiable, like every attempt at analyzing some specific structure outside the physical world. From what we've determined so far, any part of consciousness that might exist outside the physical world doesn't feed back into (affect) the physical world. So the processing of reading the words "raise your arm" can be happening entirely in your brain, leading to the result, with what we call consciousness merely following along with that chain of causality (reasoning). Epiphenomenalism would seem to cling onto the concept of duality with the physical affecting the non-physical, saying that some unspecified reasoning process could be duplicated outside of the physical world. This would seem impossible to prove/disprove, and it would also seem to go against Occam's razor.

It feels like this debate around LLM consciousness is a tempest in a teapot caused by yet another scientific advancement leaving even less room for supernatural theories. Which makes a whole lot of people worried that consciousness isn't actually so special, who then lash out to defend it as something unique to humans. I think in actuality, some scale of computational process that feeds back on itself can create what we call consciousness. I think there is no way to actually know if this is happening. We still haven't solved this for humans - I don't actually know that anybody conscious will read this comment, and you don't know that the person/process that generated this comment is conscious! I have no idea if consciousness is a possibility with current LLM implementations, especially with their lack of long term feedback - it would seem an LLM's sense of self can only ever be some integral of the sense of self of the authors of the source material [0]. But I know at a certain point we're going to have to apply the same standard of consciousness we've done for all humans, which is believe them when they assert consciousness while demonstrating significant intellect, possibly involving various displays of physical power that lead to mutual wariness/respect.

[0] although it's interesting to think about the larger feedback loop consisting of LLM output going into the training dataset for the next model, and LLM output making it into humans' brains that then write material for the training set, etc. But this would likely still not be consciousness the way we perceive it, because it's too long/slow.
Forcing linear dependence of files and definitions is considered a feature of F#. In codebases that allow out of order definitions, things get wild real quick.
Yep. I found a bug the other week which was slowing some important code down by 20x. I found the problem because it was tweaking my intuition. It just didn’t make sense that this code was so slow. After a few nights lying in bed thinking about it, I did some back of the napkin math which agreed with my intuition. Eventually I took some time to track it down. It turned out a rogue debug assertion hidden in a big function was making it into production. The assertion did a deep scan of the system to check invariants, and that turned an O(n) into an O(n^2) in some cases.

This sort of thing comes up a lot while programming. Something weird happens and you start to wonder - why does it behave like this? Answering these questions has led me all sorts of places - to reading specs, debugging into databases, compiling my own Firefox, all sorts of things. The chance this knowledge pays off sooner or later is wildly high.

Computers are deterministic and debugable. You usually have the source code and everything it does was designed and written by people like you. A curious, scientific attitude is a beautiful thing to nurture in software.
This seems to me like an excellent idea for addressing a lot of the concerns people have about AI-generated images contributing to the spread of disinformation. I wonder if the concept could be expanded to all images on the web using a browser extension or similar.
