They explain why this is different (and more complicated) - emphasis added:

> Thus, for example, if you evaluate x = 5 in an input cell, then subsequently ask for the value of x, the result will be 5 wherever in the notebook you ask—even if it’s above the “x = 5” cell

And

> successive chat cells are “aware” of what’s in cells above them. But even if we add it later, a cell placed at the top won’t “know about” anything in cells below it.

Surely this is because the OpenAI api is chat based and they need to evaluate that chat in-order. it does seem like an inconvenient interface for programmatic LLM generators if you don’t want a chat UX.

The rise of respiratory pathogens corresponds with dense cities, which are only a few thousand years old. This is the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms.

It’s in the subheading:

This is what makes SO valuable for me. Every year it seems like "trust but verify" requires a little more emphasis on the verify part, so it's extremely valuable when I run into a true expert where I know I can take their input at face value and rely on it.

I think the winners of the AI gold rush will be the ones that figure out how to help users assess the trust they should be putting in the information being surfaced. The problem I see with the current ChatGPT, etc. systems is that they seem to treat visibility and popularity as credibility and expertise when that's not the case. In my experience, the real experts don't say anything unless they can add to the conversation and there's never a lack of low quality information from uninformed participants.

For example, via ChatGPT...

Q: How do I protect against the scrub of death with ZFS?

A: The term "scrub of death" is commonly used to refer to a situation in ZFS where a data scrub operation can lead to catastrophic data loss due to undetected errors or issues. While ZFS is designed to provide data integrity and protection, it is still important to take certain precautions to minimize the risk of encountering such a situation. Here are some steps you can take to protect against the scrub of death with ZFS:

Except it's not a real thing [1]. For bonus fun, read the comment right after Ahrens'.

I don't understand why SO doesn't lean into that. Anyone can train an LLM on the raw data, but SO has the information needed to do a better job of ranking the quality of the inputs, so wouldn't they be able to build an LLM that's significantly better than anyone else with the same raw data? Understanding the quality and reliability of an answer is far more important to me than getting an answer.

What's more frustrating than getting an answer on a programming question and taking hours to figure out that it was complete BS and doesn't work as described?

I don't know much about LLMs, but, if I were SO, I'd be figuring out how to lock down the ranking information as quickly as possible because that's where the value is. The ranking and acceptance of answers, alongside tags, overall user rank, participation frequency, etc. should mean that SO has a significant advantage when it comes to ranking and weighting the input data, right?

I want the input from subject matter experts to count the most and SO has the best data set to provide that. I don't see the point of locking down the content when the real value is in the ranking. It's odd that SO doesn't see that considering the entire network is modelled on that idea. Maybe they do and there are bigger changes coming down the pipe.

I think the real debates are going to come in the future if SO releases a paid LLM product that's trained on community contributed content and rankings.

It's not out yet, anyway. Dismissing something that won't ship for another 8 months is not useful. The Dvorak article was likewise before shipping. I've heard this for everything Apple ever did since the Bondi iMac.

I don't look at it as a headset but as a new kind of computer-like device with included display, and it's not even 1.0 yet. The cost seems crazy, but my Mac Studio+Display cost me more. If you think of it as equivalent to that, it's not all that out of line.

Now imagine what it will become, similar to how the iPhone changed massively over the years.
I think the underlying question is to see if regret (or other difficulties like financial hardship or things that require a state actor to intervene) are correlated with planning and consideration. Measuring that is the difficulty.

And as that article state - that "less than 10%" number is coming from a population where it is taboo to admit to regret. People have been shown to be economical with the truth on otherwise anonymous surveys - [0] is a humorous example, so how much that may skew the results would likely need to be looked in to. And that's just the responders who know they're replying inaccurately - with such cultural pressure, they may not admit to themselves - there's lots of examples where people deceive themselves about how they feel about things that may go against society's grain at their time. Introspection is really hard.

So I'd see that number as a lower bound, not necessarily accurate.

EDIT:

Additionally the cost - 7% of artists not reaching their ambitions is sad, but 7% of children being unloved and resented is a tragedy.

When I first saw the Apple Vision my first thought was that this isn't a new form of VR headset as much as it is a new type of display device. My work environment is somewhat space constrained and I would welcome having what is effectively a massive monitor without any space requirement. Imagine working in a (stationary) car, in a hotel room, anywhere you can't carry a massive monitor and this becomes an attractive idea. Whether that is what this device offers remains to be seen.
Just a thought - I'm realising that I internalised this fear with computers, having been raised with this idea that they are "easy to screw up, better not to look inside". It was fair when we had a computer room and a family computer, but since you can buy a second hand laptop for less than 50$, and as you said can solve most issues very easily, it is not warranted at all.

Edit: I'm fine now, I used to be on Arch btw
But are you willing to wear a front-heavy pound of tech on your head all day for that? Maybe you are, but I wager few will. The counter then is that the tech will get more compact and lighter. Well, maybe, or maybe not as much, let’s see in a couple of years.

The fact that such articles appear shows an untold problem of NixOS which is: complexity.

I've been a programmer and Linux user for many years, I know a lot of terminology behind it and I think it's a lot less of a problem for me to read technical documentation than for the average user. When I heard about NixOS I thought: "how awesome, it solves some of the problems that I have". But then I started to read official docs and dig into all of it and got quickly discouraged. It might solve "some of my problems" but at a time cost that I just couldn't afford. Well, maybe it's just not for me...

You assume Apple is entering the VR market. I already think this is the wrong take.

To me the market is still being discovered. There are many products whose business models are not what is apparent. We make category mistakes when we pigeonhole new products into known existing categories. Right off the bat for me the Vision Pro is a multi monitor replacement that you can travel with — that’s just the one thing that hits my gut.
They want to create competing to US cloud companies in Europe. If I understand the business strategy as presented they initially will target companies that can't use US cloud for legal reasons, so US clouds can't even compete (so the competition while they get off the ground is small scale cloud providers in Europe), which will then give them a base from which to fight the big clouds for clients.

Quick googling says that AWS, Azure and GCP have 69% of the European cloud market. I wonder how big Europe is for their overall profits, and if this could potentially be a big problem for then in the future.

They probably had some nice checks written with their name in the "pay to the order of"... but they weren't the ones doing the selling, negotiating the price, or having any say in it more than any other shareholder (weighted by the shares and voting status) would.

To that end, with their various rounds of funding ( https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/stack-overflow/compa... ), they likely had very little say in any of it after that series E ( https://stackoverflow.co/company/press/archive/series-e ) which is after Jeff and Joel had left and likely diluted any value they had substantially.

I still think that holocratic/syndicated moderation is worth trying as a social experiment. I also still think that centralized moderation as a single source of truth is the meta-debate in online spaces.

However, since the wind is gone from the crypto-sails, I don't think it's practically viable over short and medium timescales.
I think there’s an opportunity for an IkeaCloud or AldiCloud that is just barebones and cheap but still is a proper cloud.

Given that Microsoft and google are struggling to match aws it seems we’re still decades away from someone truly being able to deliver the same features, scale, and reliability.
There are hi-res texture packs & mesh improvements that are pure wins, even for a first time player, IMO. They don't change the art much, they just make it look way better on a modern screen. And I'd recommend a mod to make plant harvesting more like the later games (there are a few, I think the one I usually use is Herbalism—the vanilla behavior of treating them like containers and not marking which have been harvested simply sucks). Plus the usual unnofficial-patch mod that's basically required for any Bethesda game.

That'd be the extent of the mods I'd recommend to a first timer.

However, since being forced into retirement (a highly undignified and humiliating process), I have found that I never want to go back to that again. I work at my own pace (about triple what I did, when getting paid), and don't take one ounce of crap, from anyone.

Seems they're aiming to capture the market of people who want "green" clouds, not "European" clouds. Besides, if you just want better and cheaper AWS, there is so many options already.

What are the "3P apps"?
Of course it's unnecessary, but I suspect there's at least some substance to this claim. If it were anyone else, a harmless plug like this would be accepted by most, might even be an interesting nugget a reader would appreciate. The issue is the style of claim (being the originator) is dropped far more than it should be.

I'm personally a fan of many ideas Wolfram pushes, just not a fan of the style they're pushed. I'd say I'm not in the minority, to the point it's a tired cliche.

I joined Nokia in 2008 about a year after the iPhone launch, and even at that late date, the general consensus was that it wasn't a big deal and/or just an American thing, similar to Japan's i-mode.

For those of us who knew what a leap ahead it was - the capacitive touch screen alone changed everything, let alone the usability and functionality like the physical mute switch - it was an uphill battle to convince decision makers how much of a paradigm shift it was. In fact my first boss, the CTO based in Palo Alto where I worked - had a boardroom showdown about it and lost, resigning immediately after.

Dvorak wasn't the only one with his head stuck in the sand. A lot of actual industry players just couldn't get it either. Blackberry for example.

The most amazing thing to me, honestly, is how quickly Google shifted gears. Android first launched with an emulator that looked exactly like the Nokia E71, Symbian phone with the exact same UX. I posted a video of it on Vimeo back then [1] (it's still there!!!). Within the year they had turned 90° and copied the iPhone in almost every way. That's Silicon Valley flexibility and drive which Nokia and other established mobile companies just couldn't match.

Python scripts will often break with system upgrades, most acutely when Python2 went away, but under many other circumstances as well.
Your reading comprehension seems to be as good as that of the lawyer here. You asked what this says about the claim that GPT-4 was good enough to pass the bar. I didn't say anything about GPT-4's quality or the legality here, only that we cannot assume this was the output of GPT-4 without evidence it was given that more people overwhelmingly use the default 3.5-turbo.
If the concern mentioned in this article of "Americans can view sensitive data on European citizens," they should just go the route China did - it hosts its own version of AWS that's pretty walled off, from what I know.
It shines a brighter light on the platform, meaning advertisers may suddenly pull out because of their ads being shown next to "objectionable content". Reddit could preemptively crack down to avoid this.
u/Shitty_Watercolour was one of my faves
I have a perfect example of this but with Bard, not with ChatGPT.

The first day I used Bard I was blown away. It, maybe only by coincidence, was doing things that ChatGPT was not capable of doing.

For example, logical reasoning. I gave it a set of "actions" it could take, and a general problem to solve about navigating a robot within a 10x10 grid. I told it which direction it was facing to begin with, and where I wanted it to send the robot. Bard solved that problem, in the most efficient way, without error.

I've asked ChatGPT to solve similar problems and it's never been able to do this.

The second thing that happened on my first session with Bard, it explained a solution to a problem that I gave it, then I told it that I found another reference that gave a completely different solution. It then proceeded to tell me, basically, "No, I checked my work, it's correct. The reason the other site was giving a different solution was because it was using a different well-known equation to solve the same problem". In other words, they're both equations to solve the same KIND of problem, but because of their different formulas they each have different solutions. ChatGPT has, at least in my experience with it, never shown that kind of astuteness. I asked the same question to it, but it was just confused by what I was saying and couldn't answer in the same way that Bard did.

That said, ever since that first session I have also noticed a dramatic drop in Bard's answers. It repeats itself often, and only gives extremely general answers to questions I ask. Even when I prompt it for greater detail it always reverts to the extremely bland generic answer.
Maybe Tesla should give up "FSD"
The costs of transporting Usenet weren't zero, they were simply borne by your ISP because it was understood as a necessary part of internet access.

I think that's what we're missing here. If we simply paid for this stuff as part of our regular internet bill again, we could solve a lot of the "nothing works for free" problems.
How did we get here?

- The barrier to entry for shell scripting is tiny. You basically start with `ls` in an interactive shell and end up writing a frickin' 500-line monstrosity within a month.

- POSIX has fossilised scripting languages. I hoped we'd have something like PowerShell by now, but although we have some fine alternatives, none of them seem to be good enough to actually overcome the inertia of POSIX.

- Doing something that looks correct is easy, but doing the right thing is super effing hard. See looping through complex sets of files.

- People use statements like "It's just a script", as if scripts are somehow easy to write. Bullshit.
> Apple has now entered this market with a device that's 10x as expensive as the competition, and one that doesn't solve any existing obvious pain points.

1X - they’re in the same market as the HoloLens, not low-end gaming VR like Oculus, which is why the hardware costs more. It’s definitely far from a proven market but I would treat this class of device as the first serious contender — for example, the infinite display concept is appealing but a device like the Oculus Pro doesn’t have the resolution to make sharp text or refresh quickly. If this lives up to the promise, it might tempt anyone who wants a portable or private alternative to setting up a bunch of external displays, especially if they work on 3D things or collaborate. It’s not going to be an instance best selling gadget but I think a lot of the people I’ve known who have jobs involving things like mechanical engineering, architecture, interior design, medical or scientific imaging, data visualization, modeling, etc. are going to consider it and these devices are cheap when you’re paying more than that annually for software licenses and it’s a few days billable time.
