It depends on the domain, but chain of thought can get 3.5 to be extremely reliable, and especially with the new 16k variant

I built notionsmith.ai on 3.5: for some time I experimented with GPT 4 but the result was significantly worse to use because of how slow it became, going from ~15 seconds per generated output to a minute plus.

And you could work around that with things like streaming output for some use cases, but that doesn't work for chain of thought. GPT 4 can do some tasks without chain of thought that 3.5 required it for, but there are still many times where it improves the result from 4 dramatically.

For example, I leverage chain of thought in replies to the user when they're in a chat and that results in a much better user experience: It's very difficult to run into the default 'As a large language model' disclaimer regardless of how deeply you probe a generated experience when using it. GPT 4 requires the same chain of thought process to avoid that, but ends up needing several seconds per response, as opposed to 3.5 which is near-instant.

-

I suspect a lot of people are building things on 4 but would get better quality of output if they used more aspects of chain of thought and either settled for a slower output or moved to 3.5 (or a mix of 3.5 and 4)
I worked on Cinder, and on the web server. Happy to answer technical questions if any :)
Hey there - I missed this comment somehow as it was at the bottom of the thread.

You can use June without sending us PII some of our users do it. That being said most of our customers send PII to June as it really helps in the day to day to be able to look up a customer and get a quick glance of their usage

For features you can indeed create hundreds of them - we have pretty good filtering for the features, so you'd be able to rank them by usage, retention or even launch date.

Let me know if you do sign up, I'd love to make sure you get the most out of our product
Dhalgren is his masterpiece really, but it's not what you would describe as typical science fiction.
That's interesting. The people working on these specs seem to be doing an idealistic work even though their employers' interests are more to keep their moats from having the, more or less, two only "HTML engines" viable on the modern web. Is it really idealism or are there interests at play that I don't know about? Is that stuff too low level to be used as a competitive advantage?
Same page.

So still waiting to be on the same 32 pages...
Not a lot of talk of Whisper being available here.

From using voice in the ChatGPT iOS app, I surmise that Whisper is very good at working out what you've actually said.

But it's really annoying to have to say my whole bit before getting any feedback about what it's gonna think I said. Even if it's getting it right at an impressive rate.

Given this is how OpenAI themselves use it (say your whole thing before getting feedback), I don't know that the API is set up to be able to mitigate that at all, but it would be really nice to have something closer to the responsiveness of on-device dictation with the quality of Whisper.
I actually like it better, if only because they have nested threads like HN and Reddit which makes way more sense than twitters single thread replies. They definitely need better search and hashtags, but for day 0 launch it's not too shabby.

I've noticed the same effect in HNN posts. The more profanity there is the comments, the better the original post! Unfortunately there's no good way to take advantage of this; optimizing to the metric destroys the value of the metric.
Sure but the commonalities are also interesting.
And here I was, innocent, excited to read about a new paradigm for thread management, and wondering why I never knew that wired ran articles that technical.

Now I am cynical and jaded. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Haiku has both a "serverless XLib/X11 compatibility layer" [0], and a similar wayland one that takes Xlib or wayland API calls and translates them into Haiku API calls.”[0] so a lot of GTK+/Qt apps have ports [1], and the Epiphany browser(webkit) runs so you can use web apps.

e.g. Libre Office, Inskcape, Gimp etc.

*(edit) also it has WINE, so some 64 bit windows apps.

I'm not sure how stable or full featured these are.

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out the site and for signing up.

It seems that AWS cognito verification emails are subject to a daily limit of 50.

Your accounts are indeed created, but the confirmation emails containing the code are not being sent.

I'm working on fixing this issue as I'm writing this.

Thanks for your understanding.
Always good to see a company taking accessibility seriously.

Love the new code view and code search.
Yes, you simply find the hidden license plate camera, then figure out who owns it (I suggest social engineering technical support lines with the serial number). At that point, you can write them a letter that includes a ton of your personal information (which they "require" to match your license plate number with their database records).

At that point you have the right to ask them to delete their copy of the license plate record that they've certainly already sold on to a network of dozens of fly-by-night data brokers, malicious foreign governments, the police, and so on.
None. There is no trade secret in building something like Twitter. Anyone on this site can probably make a clone of it.

The real secrets are the massive money needed to promote the network and to pay for the infrastructure, the massive social reach to attract top posters, the massive networking effect needed to make it a must-have app.

Meta already have all of those.

The things I've read about fluoridation make it sound like fluoride applied to the surfaces of the teeth (eg via brushing) has the most benefit. I have to wonder if your grand daughter was also using a non-fluoride toothpaste.
if a CEO did that to me I'd just tell him to pull the stick out of his ass. none of it has anything to do with maturity.

you can Quake (or Overwatch or whatever the current game is) during lunch breaks at every FAANG, for christ's sake. (it's different if you're playing it during working hours.)
The issue is that you have the skills to fix it, but if I, as ignorant user A break something, I can't fix it. So I just bricked an expensive piece of equipment that I may not be able to replace, and I may not know who to even talk to in order to get it fixed, and when I do know who to talk to, it's the neighbor who works in something called infosec and I think that's computers but why is he so annoyed when I ask for help.

Or, I can just leave it alone and not tinker with it so that I can still play my match three game and send funny pictures to my sister.
While there are definitely those in positions of power attempting to exert control over populaces, you could also consider that not everything is necessarily the result of a perfectly coordinated conspiracy, and that Musk paid a particular price because he thought it would be hilarious if the number was a weed reference.

No, Elon does understand geometry — this author doesn’t understand the free market.

On the rare occasion that the “public transit” busses sharing our roadways are full, they are indeed very efficient.

Unfortunately - these situations are rare. The rest of the time, other solutions are vastly more desirable to the public. Simultaneously, these huge, lumbering 90%-empty beasts pile up traffic behind them, forcing massive exhaust plumes from the unnecessarily idling traffic.

Stop subsidizing sub-standard solutions, and let the transit-using public decide.
I don't think he's ever suggested Facebook is anything but a for profit enterprise, but I think it is an extremely cynical take that "build a product a billion people would use before thinking about monetization" actually means "think about monetization first".
I would not put the needle that far over. The person responsible for the total user experience, and the PM are responsible for the overall design.

The developer is not.
Well if we was doing it properly, then it would be pegged to an hour of minimum wage or half an hour in whatever country you was operating in.

> That other ad ran company is paying off influencers and 'cool kids' to be solely on their product with their ad and VC money while charging nothing. It will grow quickly while your site founders.

Maybe. But what if it was a cool kid celebrity who made the site in the first place? There's a bunch of them out there, and quite a few who want to make the world a better place. Maybe if the vision was explained to them they'd get on board for free.

And the counterpoint is that there's been plenty of social networks that have had cool kids jump on board that have turned out to be duds. Everyone was raving about that audio chat room one during the pandemic and I can't even remember the name of it now.
I wonder if these social platforms may one day become interoperable
If you can deactivate your account, I don't see what the problem is - they're the same login after all so I don't see why it would be surprising that you can't delete the login to one without deleting the other.

The purpose of deleting an account (versus deactivating) is to remove your records with that company so what would the purpose of deleting just a Threads account be?
Yes that was my thoughts as well, if you are concerned about speed and dropping AES rounds, you might as well do the same with Chacha and use Chacha20/8 (which I don't know if it "exists" but Salsa20/8 is a thing, used in scrypt and available in libsodium for example). At least it's also fast when you don't have AESNI.
Oh good grief. This is fair game, Mr. Musk.

Scaling aside, Twitter is as simple an application as you could imagine.
The comparison is in terms of energy use since at the end of the day that is the fundamental currency of all techno-industrial activity. The point is that the global machinery that is currently guiding civilizational progress is fundamentally anti-life. It constantly grows and subsumes whatever energy resources are accessible without any regard for negative externalities like pollution and environmental degradation. This is why I don't take AI alarmism seriously because the problem is not the AI, the problem is the organization of techno-industrial civilization and its focus on exponential growth.

It's only going to keep getting worse and the AI alarmism is not doing anything to address the actual root causes of the crisis. If anything, AI development might actually make things more sustainable by better allocating and managing natural resources so retarding AI progress is actually making things worse in the long run.
That's disappointing, I thought ChatGPT WAS using the API. I mean what's the point of paying if you don't get similar levels of quality?

For the scientific take on this with estimates of actual amounts, check out Figure 2.5 from the IPCC special report on limiting emissions to 1.5C:

https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/graphics/#cid_457

We are looking at a minimum of gigatons/year of carbon dioxide removal (CDR in the report), with tech that has not yet been developed.

And yet, still, people slowing down our current trajectory. We are nowhere close to making the reductions in emissions in CO2 plotted there.

Even this whole thread is filled with science-denying pedants that didn't even bother to read the attached article. The impediment to technology change is political, not technological, and we need to start holding our colleagues to a higher standard for evidence and scientific accuracy if we want to politically enable the technological change that we need.

It's not so simple. Without order there can be no liberty, but absolute order isn't compatible with liberty either. Liberty exists in a balance which may easily be lost.
Please don't editorialize the title. The original title is actually "Basics: Technology Never Changes Geometry."

The OP's main point is that in dense urban areas, replacing high-capacity vehicles with small-capacity ones presents a geometric challenge, because the surface area covered by streets is fixed. Were we to replace every bus carrying an average of, say, 40 people, with 20 small self-driving vehicles, each carrying an average of two people, the street surface area occupied by the small vehicles will be significantly greater and traffic will slow down to a crawl. Imagine a gazillion small vehicles stopping everywhere to pick up and drop off passengers. As the OP correctly points out, finding ways to use space efficiently is the core problem of urban transportation.

> Spiro accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information.”

> He also alleged that Meta assigned those employees to develop “Meta’s copycat ‘Threads’ app with the specific intent that they use Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to accelerate the development of Meta’s competing app, in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees’ ongoing obligations to Twitter.”

Isn’t the burden here on Twitter enormous? And given META’s size, a discovery would be enormous and require serious legal effort and money on Elon’s behalf, legal effort that would be better appropriated in dealing with legal issues in EU?
“Embodied” being one of the key things that you’re ignoring

The brain =\= a human agent

You need sensors and effectors and a highly variable motor system

You can’t be “generally intelligent” if you do not have boundaries on your computing system which are mobile and have independent actions.

In order to perform as well if not better than a human then you need to perform as well, if not better than a human in all possible environments, and those include the top of the world, the bottom of the ocean, every factory line, flying airplanes, etc…

Big accusations, little evidence presented so far.
together it's a The Cascadia tsunami that will bury all of Washington and much of Oregon.
And the reason they are all immediately on Threads is that they saw the existential threat to their careers when Twitter went private and restricted their accounts to viewing 600/6000 Tweets last week. It's clear that with the daily random rule changes and service interruptions Twitter isn't the reliable platform that they need, and Instagram has a great track record of it.

Maybe the facts will bear out that there’s a case here, but my default position is one of skepticism.

I guess one takeaway for me is if you don’t want your competitor to hire a bunch of your former employees, don’t make a bunch of your employees former employees.
No one is forbidden to ask to clarify :)
I see the need for SPA on every site that has internal links and dynamic state of any kind. Seeing a flash is annoying and so is tapping back button only to see the cached version that is not true anymore and forcing a reload. Interop between web pages (and tabs) is practically non-existent. Even right now on HN I’m about to post a comment, and the whole “go back” stack will become irrelevant.

SPA is ironically not needed mostly on single-page sites. When I see comments like this it sincerely puzzles me what your common user stories are and/or how you managed to train a blind eye to all this.
There aren't a lot of technology companies called Apple. Trademarks are related to the business.

Yeah, but it runs along a river… which will now be salinated every time it rains.
You can of course yes but it's not really being updated anymore.

Not nerfed. They will sell a different tier service to assist with coding. Coming soon. Speculating ofc.
Agree. You'll never get a count of all the people who may have been interested in contributing to a project but decided against it because of a COC or language police.
They obviously piggy-backed excessively off of Instagram and the limitations are very annoying (at least for now).

I wonder how much of the decision to link Threads so tightly with Instagram was for technical reasons and speed to launch. Because I could also see them wanting to use their Instagram user base to seed the new app, as opposed to their older and probably more conservative Facebook user base.

It's both. OpenAI is obviously tuning the model for both computational resource constraints as well as "alignment". It's not an either-or.
Mine is also two and really into Duplo, so Lego will be a natural progression, especially considering that the blocks are compatible, so I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Also some the ones she's playing with are currently over 30 years old and still going.
They have so many different models so it depends which model you compare it to :) We'll be competitive if not cheaper. We're still finalizing manufacturing and figuring out pricing but will likely need to start at a higher price and lower volume.
Specifically, Meta's response in the Semafor piece:

> “No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing,” the source said.
If the message contains a question then it is an answer, if not I can see that being acknowledgent of receiving it.

The word "ok" is the same. Ok what? Ok you received it or ok you agree with the contract?
Not the new management's fault.
It's funny how OpenAI just shattered Google's PR stunts. Google wanted everyone to believe they are leading in AI by winning some children's games. Everyone thought that was the peak of AI. Enter OpenAI and Micorsoft. Microsoft and OpenAI have showed the humanity what true AI looks like. Like most people on HN I cannot wait to see the end of Google, the end of evil.
Jeff Atwood is one of the co-founders of Discourse and probably knows what he is doing. Compared to much of the legacy forum software, it's a big upgrade. His team also, in my experience, has offered very good support for corporate customers.

People noticed that Twitter was unavailable on the first day of NBA Free Agency. I bet that is typically one of the biggest days on Twitter in terms of activity
I wouldn’t be surprised if part of Zuck’s goal with the Spider-Man meme was to prod Elon directly into this lawsuit which will surely go nowhere, cost pocket change to Meta, and push Twitter that much closer to bankruptcy.

I don’t care much for either of these guys but you gotta love seeing a guy’s own toxic personality traits used against him.

Looks like Zuck’s jiu jitsu training is paying off after all!
Yikes. They're actually killing off text-davinci-003. RIP to the most capable remaining model and RIP to all text completion style freedom. Now it's censored/aligned chat or instruct models with arbitrary input metaphor limits for everything. gpt3.5-turbo is terrible in comparison.

This will end my usage of openai for most things. I doubt my $5-$10 API payments per month will matter. This just lights more of a fire under me to get the 65B llama models working locally.
I’m building novel GPS-enabled digital clocks, mostly for myself and family, but I also plan to sell a few on Etsy.

These never need setting or configuration since they grab time/date/location data from the satellites.

My first design is HanuKron, an automatic Hanukkah menorah for sale on Etsy http://HanuKron.com

LunaKron is up next. It shows the current phase of the moon. I am working to get the first prototype running today.

I have ideas for other clocks: a sunset chime; a clock that displays the current astrological sign; advent calendar, etc.

If you’ve got an idea and would like a unique clock made, I’d like to hear about it!
