This is an interesting article, and a bit of a mish mash of UI conventions, application use ideas for GPT and actual patterns for LLMs. I really do miss Martin Fowler's actual take on these things, but using his name as some sort of gestalt brain for Thoughtworks works too.

It still feels like a bit of a Wild West for patterns in this area as yet, with a lot of people trying lots of things and it might be too soon for defining terms. A useful resource is still things like the OpenAI Cookbook, that is a decent collection of a lot of the things in this article but with a more implementation bent.[1]

The area that seems to get a lot of idea duplication currently is in providing either a 'session' or a longer term context for GPT, be it with embeddings or rolling prompts for these apps. The use of vector search and embedded chunks is something that seems to be missing so far from vendors like OpenAI, and you can't help but wonder that they'll move it behind their API eventually with a 'session id' in the end. I think that was mentioned as on their roadmap for this year too. The lack of GPT-4 fine tuning options just seems to push people more to look at the Pinecone, Weaviates etc stores and chaining up their own sequences to achieve some sort of memory.

I've implemented features with GPT-4 and functions and so far it's feeling useful for 'data model' like use (where you're bringing json into the prompt about a domain noun, e.g. 'Tasks') but is pretty hairy when it comes to pure functions - the tuning they've done to get it to pick which function and which parameters to use is still hard going to get right, which means there doesn't feel like a lot of trust that it is going to be usable. It's like there needs to be a set of patterns or categories for 'business apps' that are heavily siloed into just a subset of available functions it can work with, making it more task-specific rather than as a general chat agent we see a lot of. The difference in approach between LangChain's Chain of Thought pattern and just using OpenAI functions is sort of up in the air as well. Like I said, it still all feels like we're in wild west times, at least as an app developer.

Very few people in the US piss on the Irish today, but plenty of people and institutions continue to piss on African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, etc. Sundown towns, and the same sick mentality that produces them hadn't gone away, even if some of them have mellowed out on the edges, or are too afraid to be brazen about it.

There's a large difference of degree between the problems faced by those groups.

> Do you think they don't have a huge team doing just that? Easier said than done.

How can the Stackoverflow mirrors, that kinda hide that they are mirrors, rank so high then? If there was any team at Google doing manual review, the Google engineers would spam them with mails complaining that those site ruins their copy-pasta coding flow.
I completely agree. I think these scores were merely a made up metric so they could discriminate against Asians.

The Nike example is trademark rights, not copyright.

If you give a worker 5 examples of cars, and tell him "draw me a new car in this style", and he does so (from memory without clearly copying any individual example), it's unlikely to be a copyright or other IP violation.
I hear that gravity is a contour in spacetime, or something like that.

Does that mean that a gravity wave is a ripple in space or a travelling wave of pinched or stretched space?

Also, assuming all that. I think we have 2 ways of squishing space this way : mass and acceleration. Are there any others?

Eh, I don’t think it’s that deep. I take drugs because it feels good and I have a good time, so the risks are worth it. I have zero interest maximising my lifespan at the expense of enjoyment. I’ll never understand why the general population is so hell-bent on preventing people from enjoying their own life.

> Who is hurt by better funding for schools in poor neighbourhoods?

Whatever that money would otherwise have been spent on is harming the recipient of that now foregone benefit. If you raise taxes to do it, taxpayers are harmed.

If home ownership is a good thing, whoever would have otherwise bought those marginal houses is harmed.

Humans are a eusocial species, and history is full of group guilt, plight, dominance. I do agree with the direction of your thought though. We should strive at the individual level.
RSS is IMO the best way to follow multiple websites, not only news.
It's certainly not the greatest analogy - it's just meant to claim that you can't advertise something that someone's already looking for, including when you only know they're looking for it because they came to you asking for it. Google isn't doing any promotion, they're simply forwarding on the most accurate indexed page according to your query. Promotion and advertising would be generating demand that otherwise wouldn't exist, which is not the case in this scenario. You can argue Google is promoting one page over another, but for every page that's at the top, there's a page that's at the bottom, and so it's not generally promoting the collective news media in any way.
> If anything, this is an argument against reparations. Slavery has been around and accepted since before the Bible was written; we just keep finding ways to redefine it. An entire war was waged in which people died fighting to restore slaves' freedom. The debt has been paid.

It does not matter how long slavery has been around. What matters is that the nation accrued gigantic collections of material wealth on the backs of American slaves. The American Civil War was NOT fought to restore the freedom of slaves. The Civil War was started because the South decided that they had "state's rights" to slavery. It was never fought to "end slavery." It was fought to put down a rebellion, the same way that Washington put down multiple rebellions during his tenure as POTUS.

No debt has ever been paid. Those union soldiers were never fighting to end slavery. They were fighting to maintain the union. Those are fundamentally different objectives. Your perspective is not held by any scholarship on the matter past jingoistic elementary school textbooks.
Content here is questionable.

But related, what I believe does happen is that most media outlets employ not dissimilar techniques m.

People can not keep up with the pace of news. This means news sources can promote topics they want seen either by having them as "breaking", or emphasised on the front page. Simply given an enticing title.

Many people skim the title and perhaps a short blurb. You can editorialised here even if the article is nearly irrelevant you can give a biased view.

Who gets to decide the narrative? Well whoever you like. With balance being brought in vague terms "Smith says that this is an abuse of power and is unconstitutional, he likens it to slavery. Although some disagree" I see this pattern so common it's absurd.

Has more data arrived that makes the situation less inflammatory? We'll fix the article but now you can bury it cause it's less interesting.

Anyone who looks through the media's records as a "newspaper of record" sees an impeccably accurate and unbiased document. Anyone living with it gets intense bias.

This is how just about all rolling news services operate in my experience.

My solution is to prefer print media, they get one chance to produce the news and if it's biased in retrosoect I move to another source.

I get more than enough news from the economist (biased but not hiding it) and FT Weekend (trust me Saturday edition is great).
Wow this reads like something from the prohibition era. It's not just possible, but common to drink responsibly. The pain and dissonance has more to do with immaturity than the booze itself. Not everyone who drinks turns into a wannabe Socrates or Caligula.
Hm, nothing is paywalled for me. I’ve been reading articles on both my laptop and phone while not signed in. I guess the paywall is applied only to some countries.
It's an idea as obsolete as daylight savings time.
The counter-argument is that in some circumstances, is no certainty that a fire will not break out at some arbitrary time after the plane has landed and come to a stop. And if one does break out, there is no certainty around how long there is between ignition and Shit Going Badly, so the prevailing result is to get the plane stationary, get everyone off as quickly as possible, and then assess the situation.

edit for clarity: I understand the issue you face regarding your medication being trapped on the plane and believe airlines should indeed have a duty of care to ensure you have rapid access to replacement medication at their expense, but I'm specifically addressing why they have the policy of telling people to not grab carry-on items during evacuation.
One reason to advocate for a government with minimal power is to avoid the temptation to legislate preferential treatment. If the government has been granted more expansive powers, it is inevitable, and arguably rational, for those affected to try to steer regulations in a way that benefits them.
That's exactly what's been going on with Twitch for the past several months, and frankly Twitch is winning.

All of the ad blockers are now pretty jank. Sometimes they don't work at all, sometimes you need to refresh a couple times to get the stream to play. I think Alternate Player somehow still works despite being unmaintained, but its stream is always 5+ seconds behind no matter how you tweak the buffer settings.

I loved diagramming sentences and I think it helped me become a better writer as I got older.

I informally diagram complex sentences in academic writing and textbooks. I find it helpful because the meaning is conveyed not only by the meanings of the words, but also by the structure of the sentences that contain them.

For example, the "not only ... but also ..." construction often links the unfamiliar with the familiar. Or, the "on the one hand ... while on the other ..." signifies contrast, which aids comprehension.

Sentence diagramming gives one a general-purpose toolkit for parsing unfamiliar constructions. The better I understand the structure, the quicker I can get to the meaning.
Do you think that if the South had freed the slaves before the civil war GDP would have dropped?

Or conversely if a large nation today enslaved a substantial portion of it's population do you believe that their GDP would increase or decrease?
Honestly the algorithm they use to pick and choose which ads they show me is as annoying as video feed algorithm.

I didn't mind the 5-second ads. Two to three of them before a video? I'd deliberately sit through those. Seemed a fair deal. That's now largely gone away (in my experience) and now it wants to show me longer, un-skippable ads. Not only at the beginning but randomly in the middle of videos regardless of what's going on in the video. At least on Television has natural commercial breaks "baked in" to the format.

Oh. And stop showing me the same four cookie-cutter ads every few minutes. It's annoying at best, condescending at worst. If you must advertise to me at least give me some variety.
Until this very moment google has considered the wisest move to be trying to keep all potential users on their platform, and it's arguably part of why they have maintained such dominance. It has always depended on network effects and the nearly uncompensated efforts of creators.

They have been getting greedier and greedier under the relentless quarter over quarter pressure to grow. Now we have mandatory ads on all videos, including non-monetized ones, and creaters who made the mistake of trusting youtube are systemtically defrauded through arbitrary demonetization.

I certainly feel no obligation to pay tithes to google.
I don't understand why you say that my comment is reductive. It's adding nuance to the topic at hand, rather than removing it. The original comment talks about a situation where we constrain ourselves to "rigid types"; the child comment remarks on Rice's theorem having consequences for the analysis of general Turing machines; and I remind the commenter that we have already restricted ourselves to Turing machines satisfying some type system.

Another way to express the same point of view is to say that I am arguing that the Curry-Howard isomorphism is more relevant to the situation at hand than Rice's theorem. (This might be the "promise" that the original commenter was referring to.)
Source on the former? I know about the latter.
One of the reasons why I don't drink is that I like being me. Specifically...

- I like who I am when I'm sober, and don't expect that I would like 'drunk me'.

- I like being in full control over what I experience and how I experience it.

- I also enjoy remembering (and not regretting) those experiences.

> it would be a industry wide shock if they suddenly made gaming a key strategic direction.

It seems they did. https://www.macworld.com/article/1945978/game-porting-toolki...:

“One of the new developer tools for macOS Sonoma is a Game Porting Toolkit that is based on the CrossOver source code from CodeWeavers. Essentially, it takes the x86 code, DirectInput commands, XAudio commands, Direct3D commands, and other Windows gaming API calls and translates them in real time to the appropriate Apple Silicon stuff.

Yes, Apple has a developer tool that will literally let you run a modern, high-end Windows game on Mac without any recompiling or other changes.”

(AFAIK the license forbids you from using this to ‘port’ a game without any effort: it’s intended to be used to easily get an idea about how much work you’ll need to port your game)
Sounds high to me too. I wonder how much people like me skew this percentage. All I do professionally is deal with obscure technical problems in niche areas that don’t tend to be mainstream adjacent.

Course, the number can be further skewed by people who don’t use a given device for weeks at a time. I have windows machines for work that I make sure to turn on periodically just so it can self update. 100% right there. Or might have an hour to use my ps4, whoops 10 minute update, %16 percent right there…
> ...then I somewhat doubt that one group could suppress all of this, globally, for 40+ years. At this point, aspartame is probably one of the most researched food additives out there.

Have you ever heard of tobacco? Suppressing information about the harmful effects of a popular consumer product for decades is observably within the capabilities of at least some who might wish to do so.
I've submitted this post to this site before and I regret it. I think it's questionably true at most and is weird FUD.
Can't blame Google for finally getting to the point of doing this. There's probably a lot of extra money left on the table because of ad blockers.

YouTube isn't a public service. You can either pay the $12/mo for Premium for no ads and other perks or watch ads to subsidize the site.

There's an important distinction to be made between recreational drug use and habitual drug use, though the line can be blurry. For individuals who are predisposed to start at recreational and end up at habitual, it can be better to abstain altogether.

Both Go and Elixir are solid picks. Go's concurrency model with goroutines and channels is a breeze to work with and is great for squeezing out a lot of performance. Cross-compiling to different platforms is straightforward, too.

Elixir, on the other hand, is a champ at handling many concurrent connections with low overhead, thanks to its Actor Model. If your utility needs to be resilient and fault-tolerant, the BEAM (Erlang VM) could really shine.(check out the burrito or bakeware elixir libs.)

I'd say, give both a shot with a small prototype. You can't really go wrong, they're both solid for concurrent programming.

If you're also thinking about going down the rabbit hole of systems programming languages, Rust might be a worthy contender. It's not as easy to pick up, but the performance and memory safety it offers are top-notch.
Google isn't circumventing paywalls. Most paywalled sites whitelist search engines so that their content gets crawled and more people visit them.
Is it soviet or is it meritocratic? I think the Soviet Union was inherently corrupt and would wager that more discretionary decisions were made there than in the US today. I would be fully on board with your suggestion of a baseline and companion lottery system. I think all discretion should be removed. Let the most qualified people in based on high school grades and standardized test results. Everyone should have the chance to succeed based on that.

I understand completely that life is harder for some than others, whether due to race, religion, financial history, etc. but to allow for a selection process to use any combination of that and intentionally exclude people due to their race is wrong. This is America, some people have it easy and are born with golden parachutes, but those people are actually few and far between and everyone has the chance to work hard here and succeed. Again the effort involved will vary but the opportunity is always there.

Sure, I can "prove" that my sheet of sandpaper works by using it all day. Does that mean it should work all day tomorrow? It's a useful bit of information ... about how it's approaching the end of its service life. If you don't evaluate how much sand is left before using it again, what is there to debate? Either you don't care if it works tomorrow, or you're about to learn an important lesson on how sand paper works.

> But what if the wind blows, and my laptop falls off a shelf and writes the source code for windows 95, but reindented, with some implementation details and variable names changed?

Simple. If it wasn't created by a human, it's not eligible for copyright. The law is quite clear about this.

Microsoft gets the copyright to Windows 95 because they wrote it with humans. You wouldn't get it because you didn't write it. Your laptop wouldn't get it because it isn't a human.

> It’s pretty clear that the “neural networks are just a tool” ruling

I think you misinterpreted the above. There is no "“neural networks are just a tool” ruling".

The copyright office never said neural networks were or were not a tool.

They said if a human makes a creative work, and they happen to use use a tool, then it is eligible for copyright. As it always has been.

All they said is what every lawyer already knows, which is that a work has to have an element of human creativity in order to be eligible for copyright.
"When a man is sober he is ashamed of what seems all right when he is drunk. In these words we have the essential underlying cause prompting men to resort to stupefiers. People resort to them either to escape feeling ashamed after having done something contrary to their consciences, or to bring themselves beforehand into a state in which they can commit actions contrary to conscience, but to which their animal nature prompts them.

A man when sober is ashamed to go after a prostitute, ashamed to steal, ashamed to kill. A drunken man is ashamed of none of these things, and therefore if a man wishes to do something his conscience condemns he stupefies himself."
