The thread we're talking about is a classic tyranny of the majority situation: something that democracies handle poorly.

Judging by the 623 answered questions with the "part-identification" tag (out of 636)[0], I'd say pretty open. A lot of them are just what you are asking for, people helping IDing a single part from a picture. Some are much more specific, asking about minor variations on parts, and still get a detailed answer a lot of the time.

This is a fundamentally flawed way of questionning, "knowing all the laws of physics" is probably impossible to achieve, but we still produce accurate predictions for a lot of phenomena.

> It's been well documented by now that the number of parameters does not necessarily translate to a better model.

That's certainly true, but it's hard to deny the quality of gpt 4. If the issue is the training data, let's just use their training data, it's not like they had to close up shop because of using restricted data.

I think the issue is more on the financial side, it must have been extremely expensive to train gpt 4. Open source models don't have that kind of money right now.

I'll finance open source models once they are actually good, or show realistic promises of reaching that level of quality on consumer hardware. Until then, open source will open source.

I've never bought any kind of subscription or paid api costs to openai, but if gpt 4 finally reached the point where I feel like it's a lot better than just good enough, I'll happily pay for it (while still being on the lookout for open source models that fit my hardware).
I don't think "higher level" intrinsically means "declarative" though. I'd think most people would agree OpenGL is higher level than Vulkan for a variety of reasons.

It's murkier than that. Speculation also deals with the order in which instructions can be executed. Take for example memory ordering (discussed in a mini essay elsewhere here): we typically speculate that all loads are unrelated to any other older in-flight stores with unresolved addresses so that we can optimistically launch them. This is not a control flow issue but it is something we both speculate and predict (memory dependence predictors!) despite the next PC being essentially deterministic.

Just to make this clear, I think this project is actually one of the few sane engineering approaches for starting to understand how our brain works.

TAs aren't overworked, even without union representation. You'll never be asked to do more than an average of 20hrs/week, ever. You can always just refuse to sign the end-of-semester certification.

RAs are overworked, but unions can't do anything to help that. As a grad student, you need to publish papers, which means you need the cooperation of your advisor. If you bring a grievance or work to rule, there are a million innovative ways your advisor can sabotage you as retaliation.

They can let you pursue ideas that they know are not novel (and the papers will be rejected). Or suggest you try something they know won't pan out. Or run out of budget before ordering that $THING you need for your experiment. When you still haven't defended after ~8-10 years, the university's policies will automatically kick you out. Problem solved!

As for a living wage: I wasn't represented by a union in grad school, but all the commenters here who were have pointed out that their unions didn't fight for higher wages.

In terms of speed, we're talking about 140t/s for 7B models, and 40t/s for 33B models on a 3090/4090 now.[1] (1 token ~= 0.75 word) It's quite zippy. llama.cpp performs close on Nvidia GPUs now (but they don't have a handy chart) and you can get decent performance on 13B models on M1/M2 Macs.

You can take a look at a list of evals here: https://llm-tracker.info/books/evals/page/list-of-evals - for general usage, I think home-rolled evals like llm-jeopardy [2] and local-llm-comparison [3] by hobbyists are more useful than most of the benchmark rankings.

That being said, personally I mostly use GPT-4 for code assistance to that's what I'm most interested in, and the latest code assistants are scoring quite well: https://github.com/abacaj/code-eval - a recent replit-3b fine tune the human-eval results for open models (as a point of reference, GPT-3.5 gets 60.4 on pass@1 and 68.9 on pass@10 [4]) - I've only just started playing around with it since replit model tooling is not as good as llamas (doc here: https://llm-tracker.info/books/howto-guides/page/replit-mode...).

I'm interested in potentially applying reflexion or some of the other techniques that have been tried to even further increase coding abilities. (InterCode in particular has caught my eye https://intercode-benchmark.github.io/)

If you read this you get the impression that these people are willfully ... well, you know, "not lying". The minister says

It seems that everything in science, from early primary school through to Year 13, will be taught through just four contexts: climate change, biodiversity, the food-energy-water nexus, and infectious diseases.

Which does not contradict what the minister says:

Education Minister Jan Tinetti said there was no question the final curriculum would include chemistry, physics and biology and other core science topics.

It just points out what the minister/government finds important: children must draw the right conclusions. To avoid them drawing the wrong conclusions based on actual scientific knowledge ... I would argue that this is a worldwide theme, especially on climate change.
That’s the point, though. This is no different than any other statement made by a CEO with good engineers behind them.

> The US isn’t an abstract ‘democracy’, it’s a functioning democracy with a specific set of rules.

Democracy isn't something you "are," democracy is something you do. Democracy is the sum of beliefs, actions, and understanding of the people in a "democratic" society.

So you cannot talk about us being a democracy without respect to the idea that democracy is a spectrum. You used the word "functioning" democracy which implies that democracy is a spectrum. In your spectrum you at least have [non-democracy, non-functioning democracy, functioning democracy, abstract democracy]. It is even more grey than that. Every 18 year old that doesn't vote means society is 1/N less democratic. Every time gerrymandering happens, society is 3 districts less democratic. Every time you get a politician who would choose party over country, or who chooses loyalty over values, you 1/5xx less democratic. Every time you get a supreme court judge who takes bribes, you are 1/9th less democratic.

I hope you find that persuasive.

You can say a judge has the authority to exercise discretion, and when they make a ruling they are justified by their position and the process that got them there, but that ignores the greater context of the reasoning behind their rulings. A judge that takes a bribe is ruling from a place of corruption. A judge that rules based on loyalty to a party rather than loyalty to a set of ideals is what separates cargo cult justice, from justice.

It is the ideals and adherence to them that separates cargo cult justice from justice, or cargo cult democracy from democracy.

"functioning" democracy is a judgement call on a spectrum. Your range of "functioning" is not the same as my range of "functioning." I do not believe we are functioning. I believe we are declining. We have supreme court judges openly taking bribes without consequences and a grid locked congress that is incapable of resolving the situation or creating consequences. We have a president who attempted a coup and he is being legally threatened for things that they think they can win, rather than the thing that is the most dangerous and criminal. He isn't being prosecuted for the coup, he's being prosecuted because of the coup. That should be terrifying.

The gridlock doesn't justify the lack of consequences.

> The fact that they didn’t tells me that what McConnell and the GOP did wasn't illegal. It may have arguably been immoral and unethical, but it wasn’t illegal, and that was the point of my post that you responded to.

Obama was the first black president and didn't rock the boat. The GOP declared war on America and the democratic party was and is in denial about it. You can be in shock or denial, or be confronted with a new situation you don't know how to handle and that explains what happened without the explanation being "it was justified because there was no action." Trump is clearly criminal and it's taken what, 6 years to see the potential for any consequences at all?

I don't find "they didn't do anything, so it's all justified" compelling.
Most importantly, the chatbot cannot actually solve anything, it is not plugged into any functionality.

If you mean which services I went to, I pulled the plug on proprietary or at least non-open-source services and walled gardens. I'm now using GitLab Pages to host both my blog and the notes I had there. I use Sphinx to manage structure and templating.

I have created a /notes folder which gets made available under the same domain ( https://jdsalaro.com/blog/category/notes/ ) which will contain all stuff I had in Evernote.

The content of my Evernote account is exported via the API and each note put into a note.md file with the first line as title, tags ( private, note) and "inferred" headings.

Within that folder there's a /private one which never gets built ( using tox ) nor published to the public version of my blog. There's a separate GitLab pipeline which only builds /private and makes it available under Gitlab pages but uses another non-public project, so you need to be logged in and a member of the repo to be able to see it.

The good thing is that I can read them everywhere and if necessary edit stuff via mobile ( Browser tab with GitLab VS Code IDE added to home screen or Labcoat )

Since everything is backed up using git, both the public and private versions, I don't have to worry about losing data.

Cool side-effects are that I've started using and understanding Sphinx to manage the structure and templating and even started poking around helping with the project ( https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-external-toc/issue... )

Really, we had the power all along but became complacent. We've got to be the change we want to see on the internet.
