I think it was a sound policy. The problem is that the government never decided to sell the land. If they fold it to individuals, those people can put in easements to access their land but that never happened
You can use = for structs at least :)
The question is--will the market self-correct, or will it stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent?
> I’m also open to open source models but I hear they’re not even as good as gpt3.5.

WizardVicunaLM claims ~97% performance relative to GPT3.5: https://github.com/melodysdreamj/WizardVicunaLM

It's not particularly great at generating code, but it's uncensored and writes fantastic prose. I've been using it for the last week and I'm really satisfied with where it stands.

> It’s sad that we’re stuck in this monopoly of powerful LLMs.

Won't anyone just sponsor a few months of dedicated GPU training, finetuning and quantizing so they can be held legally accountable for it's output?

I wouldn't hold my breath.
Many (if not most ) CEO's are nothing more than hype beasts with some management/finance degree. Otherwise the would be on Twitter posting "here 5 reasons [insert bullshit]" tweets.

I'm talking about most CEO's, not most owner CEO's of a business.
Depends on whether this new device follows the Quest 2 design or the Quest Pro. I suspect it’ll be like the 2, judging by it having a full gasket.

For the Quest 2: you can purchase premade lens kits with your prescription that snap on over the fresnel lenses. If you want to save a decent chunk of money, there’s DIY kits you can 3D print/Etsy. You also CAN use your glasses in a pinch, but it’s an unenjoyable experience imo (and can be impossible if you have really chonky frames).

For the Quest Pro: it feels almost like the thing was made with glasses-users in mind - provided you don’t use the light gaskets (which I personally rarely do). I believe there’s also the same aftermarket lens adapters like on the Quest 2, but I’ve been quite fine using my glasses so I can’t confirm it.
Sure, but people are going to want to use operator overloading for, e.g. dl/ml
A pay-walled standard is not available, and an unavailable standard is not a standard at all.

The only real way of fixing it is for enough people to ignore ISO so they become irrelevant.

If you are building a new DB engine (toy or not), don't use SQL. Either design a new spec or use something that's more openly specified (maybe GraphQL or EdgeQL).
Not really. There was a real attack (provoked by the US) on Aug 2nd, and Johnson didn't want any evidence before escalating. Johnson even lied to Congress and the public about his plans before attacking. It's clear he would have used any excuse he could gin up.
Share but backs were a simple, low risk way to inflate the share price and so every major company was spending cash pushing the price higher.

Lay offs were worth a few percentage points on the share price. So everyone had an incentive to take away someone's salary.

"AI" is worth a few percentage points and so will be talked about as long as the payback is there.

None of these are going to meaningful change these companies or our societies for the better, they are only to continue asset price inflation. Because with out it the illusion would begin to crumble.
In comparison to whom exactly?
Add to that the ability to stop and rob cars with a roll of foil. Thanks, but no thanks.
"look, these people are definitely responsible for coups, bringing down democratically elected governments, installing puppets, lying to the public, starting wars based on false premises, bombing thousands of innocent people. And yes, they might have flooded the streets with drugs and killed a few thousand more, but they aren’t an evil shadowy cabal that controls everything"
Well, if it's mandatory on new cars, then kind of everybody knows its there, and then there's the fun of not realizing it's not there on older cars. While it's optional, it might be nice if they had a notice on the dash that it's enabled.

On the seatbelt locking, I learned the why when installing car seats, which seems reasonable, because that's what it's for.
NPR loves them studies.
> so many normal people use ChatGPT and find it not only interesting but also, critically, useful

Is this actually true though. I write code for living and tried to use it many times but it wasn't really that useful to me ( vs google search)

Curious to hear ppl who are using it in 'critically useful way' . i am eager to use it my workflows .
I'm so confused how this could be the case unless you're actually arguing with yourself across 2 different accounts.

The alternative is definitely that you don't understand that people are different from you, which is pretty wild to me.
I've been following Keygen for quite a few years (but alas, no projects suitable to try it), partly because of the excellent docs about licensing schemes, and partly because licensing systems (and the breaking thereof) have been a recurring interest to me ever since punching in a building's worth of XP keys and wondering, none of these boxes are connected to anything... how do they know what I typed in is valid?

For that reason, Keygen shocked me when it first came out as a public(!) licensing platform... how could they get away with documenting their secret sauce?

Cheers to you ezekg, and may transparent licensing schemes prevail.
- [1] And move away to where exactly? From there to where exactly? NYC? Millionaires can move anywhere they simply will, but homeless can't physicsally move too far since moving and storage requires $$. Almost 24h/d is spent on getting whatever waterfood and hygiene is available so what's left at the end of each day? (Aside from a necessary permanent health/lifespan reduction due to low waterfood and hygiene which means even lesser of those now per the same 24h?) What's left at the end of each year? Pretty much the only hope is to pray whatever you have left for survival [2] at ages ~60 can be grouped together with senior housing cohorts.

[2] Everyone else is secretly hoping you don't make it for there's no money in it; and if godforbid you made it pls die Asap without hogging the ambulance and whatnot, just because we didn't give you loans doesn't mean that the senior housing is free.
- Nope, if sf homeless are attacked, they risk getting shot by the sf police. Also, the rich folks will use water hoses to harass, it's actually one of the worst places to be homeless in.

- re "can/want"; Is the self-serving "homeless wants to be homeless doh" feelgood from the fiction or nonfiction bookshelf? To state the obvious fact: all homeless want (loans for) housing. All. And not a single one can.
Joebob’s car insurance premiums and taxes cover others’ car crashes. He is statistically impacted even if he’s a recluse without a car at all.

(He might even be statistically more likely to run into the car he’s not used to seeing on the usually empty road via the stop sign he usually blows right through. Who knows?)

Hyundai had a not so great reputation in the early 2000s in the US. In recent years however this opinion seems to have shifted.

Been driving an Ioniq 5 2023 for a couple months now with no phantom/emergency braking issues. I'm not in love with the performance of the lane keep without being on an HDA2 marked highway. I have to fight it just enough for it to not be useful on certain well marked backroads.

Considering tossing in a Comma 3 to give no-hands driver assist a shot.
This is the premature optimization our industry suffers from.

If/when you get a few million users, then you worry about scaling your backend with microservices, crazy DBs, serverless, whatever. Until then (vast majority of business), LAMP is fine.

If/when you need 20 checkboxes/drop-downs (again, there are very few situations where this is reasonable to the user, the mental load is non-trivial, consider splitting the view and adding a “next step” or something) than you consider a framework devised to render the whole of Facebook, a site with way more views and features than the most sites would ever dream of.

Maybe also it depends on the type of traffic and local driving habits and what saves your life in one city or country could kill you in another. The thing is, I’d rather have it disabled and not save lives but also not take any by default. It will surely improve over time and if it becomes flawless sure, I’d take it. The thing is that I don’t wan’t to be beta testing with my life or my passengers lives.

In cases where it’s not possible to disable the feature we better constantly record the car from all angles to have it as a proof against the manufacturer in case something goes bad. Near accidents caused by buggy software should not get a free pass, but require the manufactuter to fully reimburse you or pay you some serious fine.
> very defensive of their drug overuse, in spite of the fact that their "counterculture" had set back effective policy by generations

But did people dislike the hippies because of their drug use, or did they dislike drug use because of the hippies?
The short term impacts are ignored because modern business is supposed to improve society. Most AI in public display is geared to cause further wealth inequality.

So focusing on the existential is a marketing gimmick. Like, "don't worry, we just need to fix the heat death of the universe problem."
When you have no strategy, it's easy to get fixated on tactics like AI, like blockchain, like NFT, etc, etc, etc.
Apparently not anymore because corner crossers have precedent.
> Collective confusion in the thread suggests something has changed, but the most OpenAI will attest to is that the API is unchanged and the models are static. And this may well be true

Here's the thing. Re-read the exchange you quoted:

>> The API does not just change without us telling you. The models are static there.

>> This is good to know. That means GPT-4 has been static since March right? 0314?

>> Correct

Does that "Correct" mean all GPT-4 models have been static since March, or does it only cover the gpt-4-0314, which is a single, specific model? gpt-4-0314 is the static snapshot model, hence 0314 in the name; it exist as a stable base, while gpt-4 was intended to be updated over time.

So I feel OpenAI may be dodging here. That "Correct" may just mean "the gpt-4-0314 model was not updated since March 14", which is, like, the very reason this model exists in the first place.

Important point: if you're using API pay-as-you-go access, unless you wrote the very tools you use with that API, you're most likely using gpt-4, and not gpt-4-0314.
Sure, and many sites use plugins.
It is a reasonable conclusion, but that doesn't mean it's the Hunter's fault.
I've never heard of it either. Might be more popular in the uk.
You mean the landowners are liable for damages.
The same chief executives who said we would have self-driving cars in 2020? I was "into" AI (machine learning) back in 2015 when Andrew Ng was giving away the basics for free on coursera. I learned it was pure statistics and had no place in mission critical systems like driving a car. I've been horrified watching the applications of it, because people have literally died as a result of it being misapplied. For something like advertisement targeting, image generation, and other harmless applications, it is fine. Okay, the pretty lady has six fingers, we can ignore that. The idea that it's going to write code or drive cars? Absurd.
Was definitely confused on the meaning of that one haha. Thanks for the info!
Japan to launch satellite made of wood in 2024
I mean i’ve been playing this game since its release date. Once you get past the awe at a sheer number of planets and procedurally generated “wildlife” you start to notice the game is rather empty. I really feel like we shluldnt jump straight to accusations of “parroting” and being “incapable of making their own decisions”. Out of curiosity i made my own game with planets and denser vegetation that run smoother than no mans sky and i have zero game dev experience.
I think it's not a question of use cases, as they are there, but that companies offering LLM still don't have a proper solutions for companies to:

- Trust LLM with proprietary/confidential data

- Operate the use cases in scale with proper performance

- Control prompt and post process output to avoid legal/brand risks (e.g. hallucinations)

Everything still feels like Beta, and even though companies love the concept, they won't dedicate serious money to Beta products...
Northwell Health congratulates a PA for becoming “the newest doctor in town”
Software sales have taken a real beating. Saw a game launch post-mortem a week ago that had the Quest store beating the Steam release by ~2x. This is actually a lot worse than it sounds given VR’s niche status and the fact that devs were reporting a 10-20x multiplier a year or two ago.

The Quest game achievements leaderboard is semi-public and, doing some rough backwards math, it looks like some fairly high profile recent-ish releases (eg: Moss 2) sold atrociously.
I have it on my car. I think your concern isn’t an issue in reality. I have never seen it kick in while being close to someone’s bumper.

It has only kicked in in three situations, all of which have been warranted.

* I was turning onto a main road. Foolishly, I assumed the car turning in front of me went. I started making my turn. It alerted me and avoided a minor, but costly rear end.

* in dense traffic where people cut in and out. In the time it takes to verify a lane change, someone has cut you off or traffic has slowed. It doesn’t not apply heavy braking, but issues an audible alarm and pretensions the brakes.

* once in a situation where I misjudged the braking speed of the car in front of me. The vehicle was a bit smaller than I though, so it appeared further away at speed.

In the latter two cases, the actual emergency braking did not engage. Only the pre warning and tensioning. In both situations, I would have likely avoided an accident without the system, but had to apply by brakes even harder.

My understanding is emergency braking doesn’t necessarily avoid a collision, but it can bleed of speed in the final few feet before an impact. A collision ending 2 feet into your bumper is far safer than one ending 10ft into your car.
Wave of airplane mechanic retirements is leaving some US industries desperate
Given how many people drive cars every year in the US, 360 lives saved is a rounding error. Would like to see the data on the accidents it actually prevents. I have cars with and without this. Honestly I haven't noticed a difference one way or the other with anecdotal experiences.
> I have not yet read the paper

This is really common across article-comment platforms; is anyone interested in discussing how to incentivise comment sections that have read the paper?
The article didn't touch on it, but I think the only professional skill that will survive any technological revolution is charisma. The root of all commerce is convincing somebody to give you money. One can do it by providing comfort, enabling goals, or threatening harm. But a charismatic person can, as the saying goes, sell ice to penguins.
>You can literally see this reflected in the logs they forced retention of.

Poetry.
I'm of the same mind, and I believe they're keeping their ear to the ground to address any jailbreaks and loopholes. I have tricked GPT-4 into spitting out text it shouldn't have, only to have it dance around the same prompts less than 24 hours later. This "the model is the same" response seems like a deliberate deflection meant to mask the mechanical turk that ChatGPT is becoming.
There's errata and errata...

As a systems seller you get most of the markup but also most of the responsibility, so handwaving 'sorry AMD fucked up' won't do it. You know have an installed base that might crash every 1024 days, which for unattended systems is long but not that long. Worse if you have hardware redundancy, there's still a chance they all booted around the same time so will crash around the same time.

Customers will be proactive and follow the intelligent periodic reboot schedule you propose for a time (see the 787 overflow bugs stories), while asking for a fix. The fix needs to still be OK with all the specs you sold. If one of these specs depends on sleep states, you'll have to find a solution around it and deploy it fleetwide. If a microcode update fixes it, yay. If the problem can't be winked away with a software patch, now the blast radius is bigger and you're still supposed to do as much as possible to use the least energy possible in most idle states...
I already have a massive improvement in productivity from GitHub Copilot that I don’t find it hard to imagine that fine tuned LLMs will be able to automate the bulk of mundane work in software (maybe even all of it). Programming, and other computer based activities that involve writing are the exact types of things that language models are good at.
Measuring the length of text is really hard. Font fallback is hard. All of these things, you take for granted till you write your own game engine.

Apparently the thing to use is a library with a very strange name, which does glyph placement. I’ll go look for it.

Atlassian Bitbucket is failing intermittently
Spin-wait seem a wasteful solution. It seems to me that some sort of pseudo-cooperative scheduling implemented via some event or semaphore and keeping track of the current used 'quantum' would be better.
Looking up how to buy GitHub stars, it looks like you can also buy reactions (thumbs up, thumbs down, etc). Kind of obvious, considering everyone already knows you can buy stars, but I never considered this would be a thing.

This is actually more worrying, as those are frequently used for voting and can really influence the direction on a project for contentious issues: "Look at all the +1/-1!"
To your point - I don’t actually know a single ‘normal’ person IRL who uses ChatGPT or any other LLM app in general. The only people I know that have ever even mentioned them are other engineers at my job. Even then it’s more just bragging in passing about getting into the latest beta $whatever or making it generate some outrageous paragraph for 30 seconds of fun.
I just started learning Janet, and one of the things I really like is being able to use '-' in variable names. I didn't realize how much friction snake-case or camel case, ie having to use shift in var names, generate. It's a small thing, but a thing that differentiates lisps and algols.

The quality is noticeably worse than 4 but the tighter feedback loops and lower expectations make up for it most of the time. So I’m inclined to agree; speed matters.
There is an increasingly intense glow on this forum, which I suppose shouldn't be surprising considering SV history: https://unherd.com/2019/04/the-secret-history-of-silicon-val...
I wonder how much these apply to the Julia compiler: based on the docs for `@simd` and the writing here [1], only the first two criteria on this page [2] seem to be really a requirement in Julia's case.

The one about avoiding function calls is a no-go, since things like + and * are function calls too. But is it still required for all function calls to be inline-able?

Indirect indexing isn't mentioned in Julia's case, but is it one of the things that would disable auto-vectorization and require an explicit @simd annotation?

That sounds like how I use tabs but doesn't explain how people end up with enough tabs open to make them impossible to navigate in a horizontal layout and without grouping them. When I'm done with a tab, I close it. If I'm going back to it later, I leave it and... go back to it later. If I don't, I close it... or I bookmark it. I don't see how you go from using tabs as a short-term "read later" feature to having several dozens of them open at any given time. And while deleting bookmarks takes a second to do, so does going through your tabs to get rid of the ones that haven't been useful in 2 months. Personally, if I run out of horizontal space I consider it a good reminder to clean up, but then I see people with so many tabs that all they see is a ton of icons, and I wonder if they even know that bookmarks exist. That image came to mind as I read some of the other comments under this post, and I feel like we're just reinventing bookmarks for people who don't realize that bookmarks exist (bookmarks have been deemphasized for a while through trends like hiding the bookmarks toolbar by default).
Hacking and brute force attempts, and the risks they pose to uptime are big reasons I advocate for this. And yes, plug-ins matter but a lot of sites tend to have them installed. My point is, there’s rarely any reason to have to deal with any of that stuff. Plain old Apache or Nginx or S3, serving HTML behind cloudfront, is impossible to hack and basically can’t even be DDOSed. There’s little reason not to. It’s not like anybody even uses the features of WP that need to be dynamic, like the commenting feature which can’t be turned on without a flood of bot spam.
> Python 3’s approach is unambiguously the worst one, though.

Did I miss the part where he explains this take? It's made up of 5 valid unicode code units. For a language where you're not supposed to need to know the byte size semantics, the correct length should be 5. What am I missing?

The close second being 17, because length in bytes. Is another fine way to represent this data, e.g. what a successful write of some sort would look like. Network or file.

I guess I'm basing this all on the idea that it's almost always a mistake to confuse how a program manages some data, vs how a drawing lib might. Your language shouldn't concern it self with how many glyphs it needs to draw... until you actually try to draw them.
