This metaphor is not about the tools so much as it is about the nature of expertise and its effect on the results of said tools.

Someone with expertise will use any tools, including GPT, in ways a novice can’t even understand. Same tools, different outputs. Not the tools, because basically anyone has access, but the one using it will determine the outcome. In a capitalist society you will have to compete otherwise known as staying employed.

Someone with expertise can hook up AIs in ways and with a velocity that will leave amateurs in the dust. The amateurs will still be fiddling around with “prompts” and Googling or ChatGPT’ing what “latent” means while the expert has working systems ready to go.

I don’t see this chasm getting smaller. These tools magnify your inherent (in)competency. Try to compete with a professional artist competent with Stable Diffusion if you want a taste of that.
That's sounds horrific. It makes me wonder what proportion of time you'd spend massaging and debugging your lab equipment vs. actually using it?
>Not if we're talking about whole foods ... vegan diets are the lowest priced diets in the high-income countries (https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-11-11-sustainable-eating-chea...).

Relatively more expensive are processed plant-based replacements of meat & dairy - again the result of subsidies and economies of scale. The situation keeps getting better though ... with numbers of vegans increasing and production of these things being ramped up.

I mostly eat out. I found it surprising that vegan restaurants of the same class often charge more than meat restaurants or vegan dishes cost more in the same restaurant. It's like vegan restaurants are trying to gouge consumers because they serve a more passionate audience. And I'm not talking about exotic plant-based burgers. I don't eat those. I'm just talking about dishes that just use plants - not fancy meat substitutes.

In the article you linked to, it does say that the prices exclude eating out at restaurants. I think that realistically, eating a plant based diet IS more expensive on average. That has been my experience.

Anyways, I hope it changes soon like you said. There's really no reason why the average plant-based meal should be more expensive than animal-based.
Exactly - if you have Xs that are foolike, and Xs that are barlike, the perhaps you should have Yz and Zs instead.

Further, if you want to validate that your X is barlike, all you have to do now is make sure you have some function f : Y -> Z. If you want to scrutinize your validation logic, then you need only look at all functions of that specific type in your program.

Admittedly, go is probably not a language with the best support for these kinds of constructs.
I took slight offence at the passage "a live performance of a great symphony, in which musical instruments played by humans are never perfectly in tune and occasionally quite far out of tune" after mentioning the Wiener Philharmoniker. I don't think they ever play out of tune.

I did hear orchestras play out of tune occasionally, but it has never been an agreeable experience. It never made me think "how human". Instead, hearing a botched entry in the chorale in Mendelssohn 5 helped me understand the brass players' addiction to beta blockers.

They have already pivoted once, no? At their current size (>100M in funding), I seriously doubt they can do it again.

That will depend on which graph database you use as a graph database might just store the graph in an underlying relational database. And it will also depend on what kind of data you have and what kind of queries you want to perform. For a graph database it might be faster to navigate along links in the graph but I would guess you will have to pay a big performance penalty if you have to operate orthogonally to your links, like aggregate across all instances of some entity.

Isamu Kaneko, the creator of Winny, was cleared of all charges.

That the liability fell specifically on the users sharing copyrighted material is what the article argues in favor of and implies is approximately the status quo.

(While not relevant for Winny, the author does also make a distinction for narrowly trained model whose only purpose is malfeasance.)

What would "on the market" mean here? Would you need to register a model that you upload on huggingface?
Separate world: definitely. I remember a random real estate agent inviting my friend to a party and saying "bring your good looking friends" while giving me the stink eye from a distance. I have an older neighbor who is tall and handsome, and his wife was saying how, when they were younger, women would walk past him then turn around and make some excuse to talk to him.

I can't believe how much I deluded myself when I was younger about the nature of social hierarchies. There was some research (can't find it now) about childhood aggression showing how, if a kid is better looking, then aggression actually improves their social standing, while if the kid was not good looking, the opposite happens.

For an experimental physicist you basically debug until you get the data for your paper or until you find your sample is bad. So you’re debugging 99% of the time.

In many fields it’s rare to build new instrumentation. You fab with well known techniques with one subtle modification, so it’s not even clear what part of your time isn’t spent debugging.

Any pure relational database design will eschew surrogate keys - most real-world systems will (should) add them back - because a surprising number of good natural keys end up changing (names change, phone numbers change, emails change, twitter handles become irrelevant/disappear, location of birth may change subject to geographic regions changing size...).

And on top of all that, there are efficiency concerns.

That said, at least for join tables AFAIK - there aren't often a need for row IDs beyond the involved foreign keys - unless you need to add meta data from other relations/tables...

> States have no standing in enforcing immigration laws

Think that over - states have no standing in enforcing the terms of their joining the union? On the other hand states are allowed, and even forced (by threatening to cut federal funds), to enforce federal laws and edicts, such as drinking age [1], transgender bathroom access [2], or not hiring enough minority-owned tunneling companies [3].

Only when it comes to enforcing federal laws that the federal government would rather not see enforced, do suddenly issues of standing and federal jurisdiction appear - as if states have no interest in who enters their territory.

States and their populations direct how the federal government should act by passing laws. That government then ignores those laws at their leisure, and prevents the states from enforcing them. Doesn't that sound a bit undemocratic to you? Though that accusation seems to be levied only when convenient, with little relation to its meaning.

Ask HN: Are there crazy startup Ideas that turned successful?
The statement "Start-up ideas that succeed big usually look crazy at first" is a sentiment that many gurus, including Paul Graham, seem to enjoy preaching.

But is it really true? In other words, are there enough cases to suggest this is not just an exception, but rather a tendency?

Here's what is not meant by 'crazy':
1) The goal was too ambitious
2) It seemed insignificant

In this context, 'crazy' should be defined as something that appears 'ridiculous' or 'absurd'.
If 'crazy' implies 'too ambitious', the gurus' statement becomes meaningless, boiling down to "successful start-up ideas look ambitious at first".

The examples that come to my mind are Twitter (character limit) and Uber & AirBnB (sharing with strangers).

Are there more cases out there?
This is a more extreme description of why I hate plumbing.
I am genuinely trying to give constructive feedback here - when you say things like "I didn't do any research" when asking a question, it has a tendency to cause people to be dismissive of your question because the act of asking without first expending effort and then advertising that fact makes the questioner sound entitled. Sort of like implying "my time is too valuable, but yours isn't". Next time try leaving that part out, and keeping the question simple, e.g. "What is special about having an overabundance of gold that isn't possible with a limited supply?" or by first doing a reasonable amount of research and leading with that, e.g. "I read a couple of webpages about the current uses of gold in science and industry, but I still can't figure out what would be possible if we had a limitless supply of it, can someone with more knowledge about this topic help me out?"

Hope this helps, like I said, I am genuinely trying to be constructive here, and no negativity intended towards you.

> I can't wait for the next "decentralise" cycle as I'm under an impression a lot more innovation happens during that phase.

I think we are beyond that cycle. Centralization and decentralization happen at the same time. We have much more much cheaper chips now everywhere that do a lot more, and then we have local and distributed compute deployed everywhere and we also have large datacenters at the center of it.

Neiter datacenters nor distributed compute is gone go away anytime soon.

Is this applicable just to the recent generative ML models for text, images, audio where you give it a prompt, or is this also applicable to other ML models.

That is, does it apply to text-to-speech models that take phonetic/text and prosody information and convert that to audio -- like that reseached by the University of Edinburgh?

Does it apply to the various NLP models that predict parts of speech, morphology, lemmas, word senses, coreferences and other NLP topics? E.g. will it apply to things like word2vec?
Safety, Security and Modern C++, with Bjarne Stroustrup
> This is correct, and I'm not sure there are good ways to prevent this or equivalent scenarios from occurring.

I believe there isn’t indeed, sorry this part came out as a criticism.

I actually have deployed a PAKE at work for a corporate CRUD app once, and the entire security hinged on login/password. Clients authenticate to the server with the password, server authenticates to the clients with its database entry.
Sure the password could be brute forced if the databased leaked, and sure anyone could impersonate the server with a database entry, but this reduced security allowed simpler and more convenient administration: no need to bother with a PKI, just take good care of the password database and reset everyone’s passwords when we suspect a leak.
(Now if this was for the wider internet I would have added a PKI layer on top to prevent server impersonation.)

> The reason for having this mechanism […]

Yeah, PAKE is real nice. Ideally every password based login system would use augmented PAKE under the hood. Not only does it protect the passwords better, the protocol itself doesn’t need to happen in a secure channel (this can help reduce round trips), and the bulk of the computation (slow password hashing) happens on the client side. This reduces both network load and server load, what’s not to like?
Everything's politics, as this shows. You can't avoid it.
With this law, you can forget about base models such as LLaMA being released, since models will be required not to say "mean things".
