Less money for borrowing means students can only afford lower tuitions and colleges are incentivized to efficiently use your money.
I think the most applicable bit is that USB4 adds tunneling modes, aside from alternate mode.

I'm not entirely clear, but from my understanding alternate mode means the physical connection gets switched over, while tunneling means the tunneled data is sent over USB (so the communication on the wire is USB all along, you get nesting).
Unfortunately HDMI audio is also notorious for often having serious lag, both in absolute terms and relative to the video signal.

That's a good point! We're actually working on integrating this as well, but in practice, what we've found is that LLM's in general don't like to respond with empty strings for example.

My hypothesis here is that due to RLFH, there's likely some implicit learning that tangentially related content is better than no content.

Given that, you'd likely still get better results with your schema being:

"string | null" so the LLM can output a null instead of "" since there is probably not as much training data that gives "" high log prob values.

But we're looking forward to evaluating the functions call, and seeing what the metrics show!
The 90’s were weird because people still had hope, I think, that UI could be advanced in a direction that helped get actual work done. So they kept trying to make professional-appropriate, high-information-density UIs.

Now we’re bifurcated into toy UI for people who don’t have any idea what they are doing, and terminal interfaces. This is probably the only way to do things. But it does seem like a bit of a retreat.

I got distracted by this throwaway line: "That included white nationalist Richard Spencer, who used to write for Breitbart"

As far as I can tell the Grauniad has (in multiple articles) confused him with a different guy of the same name who wrote a few guest articles.
I had the same thought. It may be interesting to try producing smaller CGUs then processing them on a fixed-size thread pool. This should help even out the misses. Especially if you keep a few smaller CGUs for the end, they should be "free" to give to threads that would otherwise be finished compared to merging them into a different CGU which may happen to be under-estimated and take longer.
What testable definition of general intelligence does GPT-4 fail that a big chunk of humans don't also fail?
The article mentions that www, the monolithic PHP code base, is 4.6% of the service instances. Though the paper does not mention the compute allocation. I do not recall how www is deployed, but it’s easy to imagine it’s allocated a lot more resources than a lot of other services are.

> You know that these LLMs are not actually intelligent, right? Right???

Can a submarine swim?

Does it matter if an LLM — which is far from the only kind of AI, and trivial to include in another more complex AI — does or doesn't match your definition of "intelligent" when it can write fluently in any language (human and code), and also getting near top-of-class results in the Bar exam and the biology olympiad?

Corporations — sometimes used as another example of an unaligned optimising agent — can't drive cars, they have to hire humans to do that for them, but corporations can still be prosecuted for dangerous chemicals (3M); and AI, just like other computer programs, can have dangerous output that you should not rely on (e.g. Thule early warning radar incident where someone forgot to tell it that it's OK for the moon to not respond to IFF pings and it nearly started WW3).
I see, so basically we are applying scaling, but instead of scaling the bottleneck as its own part we scale everything.

Sarah Silverman Sues OpenAI and Meta over Copyright Infringement
Is it too cynical to claim the the noise about existential risks is a convenient distraction from these unquestionably real issues we will face, maybe even a deliberate part of helping it happen?

Here's a random bit of fun prescience:

From Dune, by Frank Herbert:

> JIHAD, BUTLERIAN: (see also Great Revolt) — the crusade against computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots begun in 201 B.G. and concluded in 108 B.G. Its chief commandment remains in the O.C. Bible as “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.”

The usual interpretation is something along the lines that AIs took over the thinking for the leaders, making the leaders lazy, impotent, and society fragile and chaotic. This fits with a lot of Herbert's themes.

But, from Children of Dune:

> Three — Planetary feudalism remained in constant danger from a large technical class, but the effects of the Butlerian Jihad continued as a damper on technological excesses. Ixians, Tleilaxu, and a few scattered outer planets were the only possible threat in this regard, and they were planet-vulnerable to the combined wrath of the rest of the Imperium. The Butlerian Jihad would not be undone. Mechanized warfare required a large technical class. The Atreides Imperium had channeled this force into other pursuits. No large technical class existed unwatched. And the Empire remained safely feudalist, naturally, since that was the best social form for spreading over widely dispersed wild frontiers — new planets.

Arguable paints a different picture - that the AI in the hands of the masses would be too threatening to the status quo.
It was very convenient for me to have my headphones plugged into the monitor. Made it so I could plug a single cable over to my laptop and have basically everything else already done.

But when I turn off my displays that are on HDMI or DVI or VGA, the computer still detects them like normal, like they're connected, because they are.

I don't understand in which case the 'act like it's physically disconnected' behaviour would be more desired than what we had with all the standards before.

I have read that some DisplayPort displays do have an option in the settings to disable this behaviour.
I've always been surprised there aren't more receptacles out there that accept either a DisplayPort or HDMI plug. I've only seen it on one motherboard, but in retrospect, it seems obvious that the DisplayPort plug was designed to facilitate such a thing.
Great to see this, but I’m curious, does this mean we’ll get fewer fchollet tweets that talk up TF and down PyTorch? Is the rivalry done?
My monitor is fairly old, but it only does 30Hz on the hdmi cable and 60Hz on the display port cable. I'm not sure the exact versions. I think its displayport 1.2 and HDMI < 2. So for me, it was super important to get display port out.
>pampering the bottom 5% whiny dregs of society

There's really no need to be so hostile. Do you complain that disney doesn't make hardcore porn too? Like it or not claude and all these other ai's that are censored do have a place in the world. And they do serve more than the "bottom 5%". At the bare minimum they serve more than the bottom 5% when it comes to capital which is definitely more important from a company pov. There are plenty of uncensored models out there to play with. They aren't quite there yet but they're decent enough and slowly getting better. I highly doubt they will ever have the same reach as claude, chatgpt or bard. The barrier of entry is too high for the normal person and even for some technical people. I'd love to be proven wrong but my money is on the multi billion dollar cooperations.

And your comment regarding the moral policing that wasn't there in the early days of the internet is just ridiculous. Putting aside the fact that there's nothing wrong with having a safe space where you don't have to see or read things you don't want to. The internet was a terrible place, it still is but the bad places have gotten much smaller. It didn't grow to what it is now because of all the trash that was being spewed out, it grew despite it.

The only thing I don't agree with is them trying to use the government to prevent innovation but other than that I see no issues with what they're doing.

Your frustration is understandable, believe me, I get it. I've tried to wrangle many AI to answer my relatively tame questions without the positivity bias and warnings that my actions may cause some sort of imagined harm. But I just make note of that behavior and move on. These policies the companies have will NEVER change as long as they keep making money. Always vote with your wallet and your time.

This looks awesome; I was a big fan of Keras back when it had pluggable backends and a much cleaner API than Tensorflow.

Fast forward to now, and my biggest pain point is that all the new models are released on PyTorch, but the PyTorch serving story is still far behind TF Serving. Can this help convert a PyTorch model into a servable SavedModel?
I disagree. That isn't even an interface. And this is the source of so much trouble. The "developer knows best" mindset. The developer will never know exactly when I want coffee, yet so many programs assume my coffee needs are just an algorithm that I secretly obey and just don't know it yet.

The best interface does nothing. It's idle and listens. Everything automatic must be fully transparent and be opt-in. Fully explained if not self-explanatory.

User instruction beats developer assumption every single time. If the user is "wrong" as arbitrarily defined by the developer, the least they can do is kindly instruct and point the user in the "right" direction, not assume, let alone assume they know better than the user about what they want.
> For some reason, many MWI adherents want to claim that this is not an additional postulate, that MWI only needs the Shrodinger equation, but it clearly is a postulate in addition to that equation, just as much as the collapse idea in other interpretations.

I think you're misinterpreting them (us). The claim is that MWI requires one additional postulate, whereas collapse interpretations need at least two: they both need a way to make distributions into probability distributions over observations, but collapse additionally requires some way of dodging Wigner's Friend type scenarios: an objective classical transition, extra state beyond the wavefunction, outright antirealism, etc.

Can you say more about why you think it is ridiculous?

AI is already increasingly helpful to AI researchers. So one convincing argument for existential risk is that if this increase continues we could see exponential growth in the efficacy of AI research. Given that the goal of AI research is useful intelligence, it seems reasonable to say that an exponential increase in AI research will lead to an at least linear increase in useful intelligence.

Another argument is that there are breakthrough discoveries that will dramatically increase useful intelligence, or dramatically increase the rate of increase. We've had some of these so far, so it seems likely there are others awaiting us. And it's impossible to say with any certainty that there's no chain of such discoveries that doesn't lead to a human or superhuman level of intelligence. All we can do is try to estimate the odds of it happening.

Both arguments seem a pretty clear argument for an existential threat, because as soon as you have even just a human level intelligence integrated that seamlessly with the power of conventional computing, you have something that is much more powerful than most (if not all) human organizations, and once that power exists, there's a non zero risk that it will aim at some objective that is harmful to us, in a comprehensive enough way that it also aims to stop us from being able to stop it.
This article seems to be using a nonstandard definition of distributed computing. All of the cited projects, SETI, protein folding studies, whatever, still use distributed computing. What changed was they no longer attempt to distribute some of the computation to machines owned by interested but unaffiliated people donating time from their home PCs. Whether the reason is unreliable connections to the machines that may not even always be on, home users no longer wanting remote software executing continuously on their networks, or compute power in the data centers just got bigger and cheaper and it is no longer necessary to try and find even more free compute, that is separate from it now being possible to do something like SETI on a single really big computer.

Heck, it might even be possible, but considering the sensor data is inherently distributed, keeping some compute near the sensors is pretty desirable rather than needing to send it off to one common place for all processing to be done.

Nuclear power plants seem to take a long time to get right, which means they end up being very expensive.

As an example, consider the new Olkiluoto-3 nuclear plant built in Finland. That reactor was commission just a few months ago, but its build was 12 years behind schedule. The delay to that project saw the original 3 billion Euro price tag more than triple with a final cost closer to 11 billion.

I've been wondering if all of the jailbreak-fixing/rlhf-tuning that is happening to GPT4 is responsible for "nerfing it" (Still unsure if that's actually happening or if people are just noticing the gaps in its understanding more now).

Imagine someone who is perfectly politically-correct and never says anything even remotely edgy/original. When I imagine people like this (who I've met irl), they are genuinely a little bit stupid. And I wonder if the "make this model never output anything "dangerous" process" causes a model to become stupider.

Anyway, I'm off to go see if Claude 2 will help me stage a coup in a third-world country and become its dictator. Adieu.

What's the benefit for the user instead of directly using pytorch for example ? I see we can maybe use tpu by switching to jax etc...

Even then I'd have my doubts given how terribly wrong ChatGPT4 is when I ask it to produce a very simple Kubernetes manifest which has a strictly defined spec.

One problem is that ChatGPT4 has been degrading over time -- and no, I don't GAF about any opinions or assurances to the contrary. So we're seeing more and more people look at it for the first time and ask what the big deal is. Maybe the Code Interpreter feature will reverse that trend, we'll see.

Those of us who were around (read: paying $20/month) when they first enabled GPT4 support are left waving our hands fecklessly, muttering "Yeah, but you should've seen it back in the old days, back in March of '23. Now you kids get off my lawn."
Basically from 10, I was drinking like 0.5L to 1L of soda a day.

I was eating rarely meat, and my parents couldn't cook, I think at one stage, I was eating McDonald burgers 2 to 5 times a week. So while I was practicing a good amount of sports to burn these calories, it couldn't be good.

26 was when I moved out, started preparing food myself, started really reducing my overall alcohol and soda intake and more exposed to good food.

My daughter eats much more often meat, almost no processed food, high quality ingredients and cooking.
Are you sure that it's related to HDMI? TVs often do processing on the video signal which introduces lag, but my Samsung TV in "PC Mode" is virtually lag-free (and I use Logitech's receiver for my mouse because Bluetooth feels slightly too laggy for me).
At first glance, 200ms INP is a pretty high latency for a "good" rating. As a comparison, I believe 200ms is an average https roundtrip. I'd expect most interactions to be much lower than that.
I like your site but you probably don't want to be going around saying you are "elite" at 19 years old.
This is interesting in the context of the other response that links to poor performance in terms of counterfactuals. I wonder if it is related to how well one domain maps to another? E.g., can they transfer to english to french well because both share a similar word classes (nouns, verbs, etc.). But I believe other languages change more based on social context (e.g., Japanese) than English does. Would a LLM transfer just as well to the latter? In that case, my guess is humans would find it more difficult to transfer as well, so it may not be a good measure.

(Apologies to any linguists. Please correct anything above if I'm off).

I appreciate your reality check on this - I dont exclusively focus on negative, but I am sensitive to efforts which ultimately result in negative (sociallogically - such as deeper surveillance) outcomes, and while darpa does awesome science, and great leaps in tech - every one of these steps /tend/ to feed surveillance-state paradigms.

Absolutely - the specific examples of "Why Vim Uses hjkl" and "Why JavaScript months start from 0" were very interesting in themselves.

But the profound point was the generalisation:

> We can always look further, peeling back more and more layers of the history.

> But two layers is enough for this essay. With two layers, we can see a common pattern in studying history, the difference between answers and explanation. When asked why something is the way it is, most people will give a post-hoc rationalization. They’ll see the present and come up with reasons why it’s “better” for things to be that way. If you look a little into the past, you often see that “things are this way because they were this way”. And if you look deeper, you see the forces that lead to things becoming that way.

> ... But it’s all worth the effort. Digging into the second layer teaches us much more about the context and reasons for why things are the way they are. And I can’t deny the puzzle aspect of it all, the joy in solving a mystery. Lost knowledge found again.
