> The entire software industry is nothing but a machine to automate existing jobs.

Software creates many new jobs, efficiencies, and possibilities. Computer games, for example, do not automate existing jobs.
"If we want to know how to get the better of stupidity, we must seek to understand its nature."

The philosophical attitude should be trying to understand. The way I think about it, if someone has been around for 1,000 years and yet is indulgently stupid then maybe I have some right to be angry with them, otherwise I should consider that they haven't been around that long and are understandably susceptible to the double ignorance of thinking they know what they don't.

"Here we must come to terms with the fact that in most cases a genuine internal liberation becomes possible only when external liberation has preceded it."

This statement reflects a general observation present in Socratic (or Platonic and Xenophonic) philosophy that those with the most power and authority are basically by definition most responsible for changing things for the better. Without organization and attention people act on an individual level, and their apparent unreasonableness may be a concession to their limited circumstances.

"The word of the Bible that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom declares that the internal liberation of human beings to live the responsible life before God is the only genuine way to overcome stupidity."

"God" could be replaced with "Nature" for those of a modern, skeptical bent, but nevertheless can combine a humility resulting from an awareness of the limits of human knowledge with a confidence in greater meaning in virtue of the existence of humanity and the ordered cosmos itself.
I really wonder if it is the case that the image processing is simply more tokens appended to the sequence. Would make the most sense from an architecture perspective, training must be a whole other ballgame of alchemy though
All these form builders are not usable for me because it is only designed for simple cases in mind. One exmaple is that have a simple select list. In real world cases, most master data is select is pretty long so you need to search and filter, so there must be an autosuggest search box for select. It needs to enable single /mulitple select as well.

I'm starting a sustainable book marketplace to encourage people to buy and sell second hand books. It's only on a waitlist for now but I think from an ecological standpoint there's a lot to gain

Absolutely. Former avionics company employee here - not only do companies like Collins have COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) products to buy, but they themselves are frequently made of at least some COTS components. So each of those components have been tested and put into production by a company who's laser focused on the safety and reliability of that part.

You only need to spend a little time with a reliability engineer and see some of the calculations they do to start realizing how when even one or two components in a system have little corners cut, how it can drastically impact the overall safety of the system.

With the amount of corners cut on this submarine, I am unfortunately less than surprised at both the failure in the article and the crisis happening to it right now.

I hope all the souls aboard can somehow get home safe, and I hope the people who put them into this seemingly corners-cut vessel do not get to float any more craft, and that they didn't undersell the riskiness of this venture... although I'm unfortunately not optimistic about any of that.
I did vote for my president, who hired the central bankers, and senators, who confirmed them. They also built the entire structure of the current fiat system over time.

While those portions of the brain aren't specific to learning intellectual or academic information, they might be crucial to making sense of data, help in testing what we learn, and help bridge countless gaps between model/simulation and reality (whatever that is). Hopefully that makes sense. Sort of like... Holistic learning.

I wonder if our brains and bodies are not all that separate, and the intangible features of that unity might be very difficult to quantify and replicate in silica.
I like the reasoning here. If you think about it, to end this madness a vote is all you need.
I think it’s just an ensemble of models, so you do some kind of pooling/majority vote on your output tokens
Yeah, that’s all absolutely fair. That is, however, a problem for most platforms as—generally-the Anglosphere (or at least that plus Western Europe) is the paying customer.

Pivoting to cater to/exploit that market is not really possible for most of them now either.
Fanboys sometimes talk about a favoured corporation with rose coloured glasses. Hateboys (or whatever you might call an inverse fanboy) often talk in reductive and/or derogatory terms about both corporations and anyone who defends them. Both groups are occasionally a bit sad and naive, but it's usually only the latter which become corrosive and openly hateful.

Unfortunately the bulk of the internet seems incapable of recognising this and all too often gives hateboys a free pass.
But you repeat yourself.

No, it’s mostly just those. If you want to spend all your time in The Villages, feel free. Most sane people do not.
At this point I think the task is simply impossible, the minimum required features on a phone are too high now. If it doesn't have all day battery life, maps, and have a good camera, it's useless. So all you'll still have a real phone with you anyway.

Yes, but can you actually prove them wrong with real data? Everybody I know advocating WFH (including myself FWIW) tend to use words that amount to their own “vibes” that they are more personally productive but I rarely hear people moving beyond feelings and anecdotes about their personal productivity and into real data that shows benefits to the organization far beyond the individual.

Until WFH advocates can do that, a CEO’s vibe is going to trump their vibes all day long.
Did they do it, though? Talk is cheap, man.
I think Google is good putting ads on front of people and get money by advertisers, but awful by selling stuff directly to consumers. So in general the brand image is very damaged for people who pay for things.

The opposite of Apple who people who pays for things is his cash cow and they take care much more on that.

And what get Google's brand with only being good with ads? Love from advertisers and skepticism by consumers.
You have reached the point of bloodshed. At this point there is no more convincing people of anything. The lines in the sand have been drawn. Management has decided that this is how things will be and that is that. We have seen this behavior pan out in battlefield commanders in Ukraine recently too. In the AFU battle for Bakhmut conscripts were sent into a meat grinder when it was clear that the battle could not succeed without air superiority. Leadership ignored all warnings out of hubris and total disregard for human life.

if you're referring to Z builds in version sets, where you build a specific package but not it's consumers, those have not been allowed for several years now.

if you just mean "you don't have to merge everything from live, you can just merge select packages, or build specific updates in manually" then yes that is true, but you won't have a fun time doing it for very long.
Someone posted on /r/FatFire a while ago, that resonated with me as minimalist. Spend money on things that reduce or take the pain away and eliminate routine chores first. Removing the negatives will enhance your life without collecting things that bring joy in the short term and only last for a short while.
Maybe users can discuss about llm output? The question asker can have LLM reproduce the results based on the discussion.

GPT4 vs. GPT-4-0613: Worse reasoning, but improves if you use the function API
There's been a bunch of discussion of gpt-4 "getting worse"; I tried gpt-4 vs gpt-4-0613 (the latest release with function calling), and noticed that while the latest release is much faster, its generalized instruction following capability indeed declined compared to the original... But you can get it to regain some lost reasoning capability by using the new function call API. Kinda weird!
I think you mean Isaac Asimov:

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
I'm not sure the average person is in a brilliant position to judge. The explorers would be driven by adventure to overlook some risk, researchers might figure "I get a $250k experience for nothing" and business people tagging along might consider "Well, if the other guys are going along, it must be OK. And what else am I going to do with this money?"
> You can't stop that, and personally, I don't think its a good idea. To get it you'd need a nanny state that snoops on everyone and steps in to stop you "for your own safety". It's easy to imagine scenarios where this gets out of hand.

Personally, I think it ought to be illegal to misrepresent your service’s safety. I seriously doubt the passengers onboard were aware of OceanGate’s whistleblower lawsuit or the claim that the viewport is not rated for the depth it is used at. When interviewed by the BBC, the company represented their submersible as very safe, certainly not as something likely to kill its passengers.

How is it a “nanny state” or “snooping” to require businesses to be honest about their service? This isn’t even necessarily an action a government would have to perform - it could be carried out by classification societies [0]. Do whatever you like with your own experimental sub, but don’t misrepresent it as a safe sightseeing trip for tourists.

> It's easy to imagine scenarios where this gets out of hand.

It’s even easier to imagine scenarios where a business is allowed to sell trips on a vessel with critical safety issues that the company knew of but did not disclose or address.

We have remedies for these real scenarios - they are called laws and regulations.

>Is this common, training a LLM from another LLMs generated output?

It's not uncommon. And the level the SOTA LLMs are now, it'll only become more common.

It happens because we're at the stage where GPT-3.5/4 can generate much better data (or hit more encompassing or general distributions with the right instructions) than what the majority of LLMs will be typically trained on.

Also 4 can recheck output for bugs, mistakes, errors etc

It may not be perfect but neither would "natural data" and depending on exactly what kind of data, it might be as close to perfect as you'll get - https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759
Then how did this vessel operate without?

To my knowledge DNV certification is part of insurance processes. The crew could have asked for such a certification if they wanted to reduce risk (they definitely had the cash).
Budgets are unfortunately a zero sum game, and I have to wonder if there are much more obvious ways to save lives more efficiently with the amount of money it’s costing the US government to undertake a massive and technically complex search for 5 people.
What should I do with books from my childhood that are completely outdated? My mom has massive books that I asked for as a kid or my dad bought that are decades old. Things like Visual Basics 6 in 24 hours, the Photoshop 5 Bible, etc. I think there might be slight utility in slightly less old books like Excel 2007 for Dummies (Excel basics are still Excel basics), but I am completely unsure of the utility of books for software that doesn't even exist anymore.

I feel bad throwing away 500+ page books, but it seems like I'd just be polluting a free library if I put them in there.
> Regular expressions are equivalent to finite state machines, which cannot count arbitrarily high (any state machine that can count arbitrarily high needs an infinite number of states, since there are infinite natural numbers).

The machine I'm using to type this comment is also a finite state machine, as due to having non-infinite memory, it also cannot count arbitrarily high.

Informally, regular expressions like in Perl are a kind of string rewriting. And many string rewriting rules, if they can be iteratively applied, are Turing-complete (with the usual caveat about infinite storage and time). The usual definition of a regular expression excludes that kind of iterative application, though. It's just a matching pattern; rewriting is technically outside of the concept of a regular expression.
> Conversely no one knows the productivity gains and work related work going on in the brain while walking the dog and yelling hi to a neighbour.

It would be hard to quantify, but it could be done

There are different arguments for "Folks should be allowed more time off, e.g. walk the dog" and "Folks can multi-task while working, e.g. walk the dog and talk on conference calls."

My argument (and I think your comment) was related to the latter, that human beings are more likely to overestimate their productivity, which various studies have shown.

Can you confirm that Google Cloud Domains is being sunset?
I don’t think it’s much of an arms race. There are practical limitations to scan frequency that’ll keep most groups operating within the same general constraints.

Added costs/fees are somewhat inevitable. I spent $25 for two small bundles of firewood on my last camping trip. Everyone’s got to make a buck somehow.

I see Campnab as a convenience. Anyone can refresh the booking system manually, but doing so is time consuming. Some folks are happy to pay for that convenience.

Campsite availability is largely a supply and demand problem concentrated around busy centers and amplified during certain times. Drive a little further and go on the weekdays and it isn’t as much of an issue.

Perhaps lotteries would help. Some permits have been switched to this approach. I’m not sure how practical they are to implement across the board, though.

Personally, I don’t think any solution will actually solve this problem. That said, a lot of campsites do sit unused when folks fail to cancel. Reminders a week in advance of a trip could help with this. Some areas also have policies that discourage no-shows.
OpenAI has always stuck to “simpler” approaches that scale. It’s the best bet to make and it’s paid off time and time again for them. I don’t think it’s so much “they’re out of ideas”, it’s just an idea that scales well

I don't think the US does "privatized" versions of these things.

What makes this worse is, AFAIK, HDDs follow the bathtub curve for failure rates. Did it fail in the first 6-8 months? No? Then it's likely good for most of a decade, at least (barring nothing egregious like physical abuse).

Western Digital continues to justify my stance of "Don't buy WD".
If that turns out to be true that’s extremely short sighted. The whole point of the beta designation is to indicate “this might go away” to customers. They will lose more from burning their customers than they would have gained. Unlike other google products, cloud is something that 1) they have paying customers, 2) it is competitive, 3) Google is not the market leader. So they don’t have any room to be fucking around with customers.
To the contrary, I’ve seen experiments falsify flat earth theories where the dogmatists suddenly are forced to rethink their views.

If you don’t have these experiments or debates, you have 0% chance of changing people’s minds. At least give them a chance.
> (...) objective-truth (...) Carl Satan (...)

Name calling as a mean to dehumanize fellow humain beings (deceased or living), especially in the name of _objective-truth_ vs _stupid_ and/or _willfully ignorant_ appears to me as especially wicked. Unless one claims the typo excuse.

Point in case, coming to believe contrarian partie(s) to be less than human is a very well documented war propaganda tactic that only become socially acceptable as said contrarian and opposing parties settle for the idea that an upcoming battle has become inevitable.

This is where we're at now, at this point in time, when almost all voices who witnessed WWII horrors have passed. Brace yourself.

This makes me think of the search for the USS Thresher, a US Navy submarine. After the sub sank, the Seawolf was one of the Navy ships that went looking for it. Sonar operators on the Seawolf heard what they thought were manually operated SOS signals, banging of metal on metal, and eventually something resembling a voice. While these reports have started some conspiracy theories, the sonar readings from the initial sinking and wreckage indicates the Thresher imploded near instantly at depth, which would be unsurvivable for any amount of time.

Honestly the chance of anyone being alive in the Titan is about as close to zero as you get; these rescuers want so badly to save them that they're hearing what they want to.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Prisons in Brisbane, Australia had a library purge about 15 years back. They wanted to remove anything that might excite a rapist or pedo. Among the volumes banned were Tom Sawyer and Oliver Twist.

What wasn't was a hardcover collection of "Romance Stories" which includes a story about a 12 year old raping his 9 year old sister, with no anatomical detail or the grooming process missing.

No the real reason is Google's internal systems do not depend at all on these services. Therefore no one values the maintenance effort required to keep the lights on.
