> Your use of "cancelled" seems to be an attempt to imply their actions are similar to a comedian using the N word.

No, those are your words. The discussion I was participating in was talking about medication, not race warfare.

My statement was also generalized, but you apparently applied it to a specific scenario (which I am unfamiliar with) that fits your narrative.
It’s taking money from investors no matter what the price does.

If the price is going up the existing investors now own a smaller percentage of a more valuable company.

It’s just more obvious if you get diluted while the company doesn’t change value.
>Or, are you suggesting that GPT-4 is the pinnacle of OpenAI, or that their funding will run dry?

My bet is that Meta has pivoted almost entirely to this space with their R&D in the last six months. Llama 2 is spectacular. And with its' success, there will undoubtedly be more. They also happen to have access to limitless amounts of compute, cash, and engineering that puts OpenAI to shame. This could finally be their chance to create a platform for real. And the open source community and startups will benefit off of that.

When I was studying (late 00s) I worked at a large supermarket chain in the UK that had this. The system was surprisingly well designed.

It was based on Windows NT (somehow hardened, as I never saw a checkout show a BSOD or fail to boot) and was designed before a time when you had a continuous internet connection. There was a mini-server in the back office, and every night it would sync with HQ.

This meant all functionality, including taking credit card payments and loyalty, could be done offline. One time we had a electrical systems failure in the store, and everything - including chillers - went down. However each checkout had its own UPS and continued to operate without issue.
Apology accepted, and thank you for a pointer to such a great story.
I’m surprised this isn’t on the front page.
> re-inventing them

Existing chat platforms don't "re-invent" Unix tools - they're simply not suitable for building on top of. There's a reason that approximately 0 large production systems are written in shell script using the "everything is a file" paradigm - because it's not acceptable for any non-trivial system that needs to see real-world use.
A lot of things would work at 2x-4x the NUC price, even without the Apple lock-in.

I tried the prime number problem and GPT-4 nailed it. I’m not sure whether they are testing things correctly…

“ Sure, let's go step by step.

A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. This means if we can find any other number (excluding 1 and the number itself) that divides 17077, then it is not a prime number.

Let's start by checking divisibility by 2. Since 17077 is an odd number (its last digit is 7), it is not divisible by 2.

For the next step, we can look at divisibility by 3. We add up the digits: 1+7+0+7+7 = 22. Because 22 is not divisible by 3, 17077 is also not divisible by 3.

The smallest prime number greater than 3 is 5. Checking divisibility by 5, we see that 17077 does not end in 0 or 5, so it is not divisible by 5.

The smallest prime number greater than 5 is 7. To check divisibility by 7, there is no simple rule like with 2, 3, and 5, so we would perform the actual division. But we can stop here because I just recalled a rule that we can only check up to the square root of the number and the square root of 17077 is approximately 130.68. So if there were factors other than 1 and 17077, we would have found them by now.

Therefore, 17077 is a prime number.”

Minecraft has made this a bit confusing, but there are two completely independent implementations of minecraft, the java edition and the bedrock edition. The poster above you was referring to the bedrock edition for linux.

* The java edition has always had a fairly limited render distance, although recently they split render distance and simulation distance into separate options which allows for higher render distance than in the past. (There are also mods like bobby, but it wouldn't help you find end cities: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/bobby)

* Bedrock edition, designed to be capable to run on mobiles, has the ability to run very high render distances on pc.
A company like Google provides critical infrastructure for the internet. They're full of very smart people, but they have had some very sloppy goofs over the years. I'm glad that they're trying to be more dependable.
Nvidia has a monopoly.

It is unconcerned about normal business practice.

If AWS/Google/Azure don't like Nvidia running their own AI cloud, they can choose to not buy Nvidia AI hardware.

Microsoft was unconcerned about Windows stepping on Apple's toes.
A little surprised this sort of thing passes for a publish-able paper.

Isn't it the equivalent to saying "Here's the top 10 results for google searching golden retrievers March 2023, and here's the top 10 results from June 2023. We see that google is returning even cuter animals today. Unfortunately though, one of the results linked to a page full of cats."

I'm sure openai has a list of standard questions that it tracks the responses it is getting over a period of time with perfect knowledge / version timing of their own releases.

This does not seem like valid research / publication.
> It won't stop the use of leaded fuel until the FAA bans it,

Pretty much everyone in general aviation who is using leaded fuel wants to get away from it. It clogs corroborators and exhausts, requires special mitigation for spills and handling, and is generally not great.

The FAA approved and is now working to promote GAMI G100UL to replace leaded fuel in aviation, the big roadblock is passed as it is approved for all engines for which 100LL was approved for. So the phase out will go as fast as FBOs switch and GAMI can manufacture or license.

Thanks for these suggestions.
Certainly true for K6KPH on amateur radio frequencies. I wonder if the same is true for commercial circuits on KPH and KFS?

Your comment on licensing got me wondering... I wonder what license the operators for KPH and KFS have these days? I guess there is some kind of general commercial radio operator's license now. Long ago, I started studying for a commercial radiotelegraph operator's license, just for the novelty. I got distracted, and then years later when I got interested again I found out that the FCC wasn't giving out commercial telegraph licenses any more.

Hey thanks for the links, you seem very knowledgable ;) I am actively looking for any good information or even good hacker communities using ESP32 for some hobby embedded things. Care to recommend any? Thanks again!
I'm honestly not sure what part of what I said you are objecting to.

People are more aware than in the 90's. You don't find that interesting but I do. Cool?

My point was that the US cares about race a lot right now. Generally and relatively. Do you disagree?

If you have a central point you are trying to convey, stop beating around the bush and say it.
Second or third reco for Fluent Python. Also, to be a purist for a moment. Explicit is better than implicit. Use this as a razor to decide all ties in your design.
It says exactly how many options were issued. Pretty easy to multiply that number times the stock price at the time the deal was made.
I think the life extension stuff is probably not going to work, not because it can't (i.e. is not physically possible or so unreliable or slow not to be practical) but because all or most of the current AI researchers will die first. Maybe people will keep working on it after that but how people think can change quickly. The progress of technology (especially in the exact direction you want) is not something to be taken for granted.
In the United States there have been scholarship programs sponsored by the US government that pay for a students IT degree in exchange for government employment for X years after graduation. Obviously, government pays less than private sector, but at least you have a job and a degree. It would be lovely if private companies offered similar programs. The cynical answer as to why they don't is because it's cheaper to import workers than train them here, plus importing more workers suppresses wages (see supply and demand) and brain drains foreign competition.
Ohh I thought this was a minecraft mod
> I didn't think Intel had any ability to make anything other than chips.

Historically this was definitely not the case. Intel made board level products in house, and systems for code development, ICE units etc.

These days, probably it is all outsourced.

Anyone guess what he would think about the current generation of popular tools?
Your entire argument, Your incentives hinge on "OpenAI's main product is "LLM that benchmarks the best."" which is a particularly silly assertion when Open AI did not release benchmark evaluatios for 3.5 for months. Not when the product was released. Not even when the API was released.
> Sure. In an organization where most users are not technical, and where vendors do not release their software?

Most of these enterprise software (for non technical users) these days is just a web app so a vendor not releasing their software is not a problem here.
I agree, would love a mono version!
This reads like rational debate, but is really just pure conservative fantasy and at least a little racist. Every time you mention black people in the hood, I assume it means you have never been within 100 miles of an urban environment and have no idea what you're talking about. You act like poverty and broken families only exist with black people.

Welfare Queens don't exist. Absolutely no human being in existence since the New Deal has considered having a baby to be a profit-making venture. I can submit that maybe some, but vanishingly few consider a life on government assistance to be sustainable. The reason something like Medicaid can be a trap is because private healthcare in this country is capitalist hellscape. ACA made the miniscule effort to raise the Medicaid eligibility window and half the country rejected it. Programs like Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP are intended to prevent descent in penury and/or to protect the completely innocent children. Less so the parents.

Your opinion is really just the lowest form of victim blaming. These problems are almost entirely unique to America in the developed world. We have undeniable objective proof that being more generous with benefits improves everyone's lives and does not breed dependence.

The other aspect of it is that with a big company, it's often much more about choosing what is valuable to work on vs. just doing everything you can put your hands on. Large organizations generate large numbers of requests and suggestions, many of which aren't worth anyone's time. You're usually not working on a project where you're needing to add new features or fix bugs ASAP or else the company disappears. The low-hanging fruit of time spent to value created has already been picked years or decades ago.

Ironically, part of the point of having so many people accomplish so little is agility. It's the HR equivalent of owning a gigabit internet line when you're mostly browsing HN and checking your email. Most of the time, it's a waste and no doing anything for you, but when you need it, you don't want to be calling your ISP to try to upgrade. Having tens of "hot spare" engineers who are already used to the product and system who can jump on a big product need on a week's notice can be worth paying them the rest of the time to do very little.

It doesn't mean you're going to feel like you're solving amazing problems every day, but it doesn't mean those other engineers aren't sharp people who can get through a meaningful ticket when it needs to be done. They just know when it doesn't need to be done.
> I have no doubt that Apple are working on local LLMs and combining them with Siri, it's only a matter of time. I expect we will see something next year, probably tied to the next iteration of hardware - they do want to sell hardware after all.

Are LLaMA-based models better at math because of this digit-based tokenization?
You're moving the goalposts. My original suggestion was that writers only work on franchises they're passionate about. And that doing good work would lead to more offers to work on such projects. Fantasy writers are also fantasy readers and viewers, which means they are surely passionate about some existing franchises and should be happy, even proud, to do new work in those universes.

No one said anything about original TV shows. 99% of screenwriters - a number I pulled out of my ass - never have one greenlit.

Wasn't there a time when Microsoft shared it's code with China govt on a locked computer in a locked room with access to only a few people as a demonstration that there product did not have backdoors for western countries to spy on China?
Well, two things:

First, a confounding variable doesn't work like that. It's a hidden variable that's linking that independent and dependent variables that you didn't account for. So, for instance, if you look at the correlation between ice cream and sunburns, you might see a strong correlation, and you might naively think that one causes the other if you don't account for the confounding variable of hot summer days.

In the case of population-wide studies on food, there is always the danger of confounding variables: if you are just comparing the wine drinkers vs non, who are these non-wine drinkers? What makes them non-wine drinkers? As a whole, do they tend to be more heath-conscious? Is that why they're less likely to get cancer? Etc etc.

Second, my point is that in both studies that show foods causing cancer vs those protecting against cancer, it's almost always populations studies. So in an ideal experiment, they have two identical populations, one of whom just happens to eat more chocolate. If that group gets more cancer they say they the chocolate is causing cancer. Similarly, if they get less cancer, they say it's protecting them from cancer.

You don't have to prove that individual X would have gotten cancer if it weren't for the chocolate. All you have to show is that the standard, base-line amount of cancer you'd see in any population is reduced in this group.

Yeah, and working in health sucks. I would characterize the "real world" as being outside of the health industry.

You could also just do all of your development with fake PHI, but I've learned not to tell health people what to do.
But it does have to do with whether there is an objective function or not. And there isn't. Brains are the way they are because they evolved that way, because circumstances at some point favored primates with larger brains. Maybe because it allowed us to cooperate, maybe because it enabled skills such as language or higher order thinking and modeling whatever trait you want to substitute for 'the' advantage that allowed our brains to become so large we are in trouble just from being born. Or maybe it wasn't any of that and it was a whole series of small things too tiny to notice individually but with a large enough cumulative effect. None of it had a goal, none of it fit any particular objective function, it's just random chance and local advantages. If natural selection was the whole story that would make the study of evolution of 30 minute thing. But it is far more complex than that. You'd have to explain co-adaptation between two or more species, horizontal gene transfer, the incredibly wasteful ways in which evolution sometimes works. And none of that fits with the notion of an objective function. It's a Platonic ideal. But evolution is incredibly messy and random, with an almost equal chance of going backwards as it has of going forwards on whatever trait you wish to observe. And with the bulk of the mutations resulting in no effect, a negative effect or sterility or death.

The whole notion of 'objective functions' doesn't enter into it, let alone whether or not they are right or wrong. You can retroactively infer one and say that's what evolution is optimizing for but that's confusing cause and effect.

It's about as sophisticated a view of evolution as a billiard ball simulation of the universe. It just doesn't work that way, it's way too simple a representation to have a chance of modeling the observed complexity. You can try to collapse it into such a simplistic model if you want to explain evolution to a small child. Like a placeholder for something better when they're more equipped to deal with the added complexity. Like when we say electrons move from plus to minus and how the simple semiconductor model allows you to design functional circuitry. But the underlying physics is a lot more complex than that.

I'm fine with that, it's the turgid pseudoscientific style of argument I have an issue with. I'm tired of reading stuff like 'Question X has been neglected since the Rawlsian turn. In this work I propose a method for inscribing a Zizekian comparator within a Derridiean framework, allowing us to navigate a Bordieu-Bataille field...' That's a pastiche, but I have a shelf's worth of such badly written theory which seems to mistake density for depth.

there's something to be said for building and running tests in the same environment your service targets. that's usually not going to be macOS or your favorite linux distro.
I doubt it to be honest, desktop GPUs use too much power (and hence produce too much heat) to be integrated in that fashion, and any kind of shared memory will be too high latency.
Why would a developer care about saving 10 hours a week for their job such that they pay out of pocket for a tool? That's moronic. I don't get paid for productivity. I get paid to meet deadlines with the tools available to me via my employer. If I compile* for 10 hours a week that's 10 hours I can do anything else. It's a free 10 hour a week break for me.

*compile for the joke but I mean slowdown in activity at all.
Previous commentary I know of from OpenAI staff:

Logan: The API does not just change without us telling you. The models are static there. https://twitter.com/OfficialLoganK/status/166393494793189785... may 31

Peter: No, we haven't made GPT-4 dumber. Quite the opposite: we make each new version smarter than the previous one. https://twitter.com/jlowin/status/1679660938415177731 july 14

either the models are static, or they are being improved continuously and there have been unforeseen regressions. only one can be true at any point in time. was this policy changed in the last 1.5 months?
It's not fair to other students if there's a no-penalty late policy. If some students turn in their work on time, and others turn it in late, it's not fair to the former if the latter have zero penalty. The reason for this is that the students who turned in the homework on time had to make other sacrifices in order to do so. For example, they might have studied less for a test in another class in order to turn in their homework on time.

This unfairness exists unless all teachers allow for late submission for all assignments and re-taking of all tests. If this were allowed, then students would all take tests multiple times, so they could cram for the specific questions on the test (not the entirety of the course materials — the rest of the material could be forgotten/never learned).
I have like an 8-10 year-old NUC and I love it.

I got another one for my mom, it's her primary PC. It's tiny, reasonably speedy with 16 GB of RAM, well-built, hasn't needed any maintenance.

ASUS makes sense, glad the NUC found a new home.
Interesting. Thanks for that, I usually am pretty charitable with my interpretations of comments - it's curious ziftface didn't consider that.
It's pretty obvious that I was comparing it to government/military aviation and not other forms of transportation, and that I was saying it was safe.
The article didn't mention it but Dr. Frederick Banting sold the patent for Insulin for $1.
