Surely you don't expect us to believe this ever gets read, much less acted upon? Don't insult the intelligence of your audience.
Are you sure you're replying to the right comment?

Leaving that aside, let's break it down:

> That's part of why Google's algo is so borked now for technical users

Does ChatGPT fix it for technical users? Or does it make it worse?

> No need to go through five links

Of course there's no need and also no way to know if GPT is hallucinating or not. You get one (maybe horribly wrong) answer.

> If it reliably scrapes the net for relevant info and analyses it for me, that's it - end of search as we know it.

For information scraped until September 2021? Yeah, it's very useful to find out information about the Russian invastion in Ukraine, for example.

> I'll hardly ever use search again.

I do X, I am human. Therefore, all humans do X. There may be a problem or two with that line of reasoning.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Google as much as the next person but search-search is not going away anytime soon. More like enhanced by GPT, like they do nowadays.

Wasn't Ethereum centralized after switching to Proof-of-Stake?
Keep in mind Bloomberg works with a few “cloud native “ consumers. In that context it may make more sense.
Moralism! In art! Heaven forfend. How dare that art have a message, right? Never in history, not once, before the Woke Tens and, I guess, the Woker Twenties did somebody have an opinion and encode it in allegory. It is a purely novel phenomenon and all known media before this dark age was absolutely without message and without any editorial lens to determine what is and is not to be depicted--for that, of course, would communicate values and ideas, and art simply did not do such a thing.

More seriously: if you have this attitude for-reals and aren't Poe's Lawing me, perhaps you need a little more preaching aimed your way because your conception of art and the civic society is the closest thing I can think of to a humanities position being objectively wrong.

The ideological soma of agree-with-you AI being desirable is scary enough stuff. Removing communication from art being a "great technological accomplishment" is fucking dystopic.

WebArena: A realistic web environment for building autonomous agents
Before the node-size race we also had the clock-speed race. Eventually it was common for processors reach 2-4ghz, and after that the clock speed gains stopped being practical because as you increase clock speed you also increase energy requirements and heat.

I think the implication is that clock-speed could start increasing again. It would probably require a completely new manufacturing process, but if we assume this superconductor is legit, perhaps an older process could manufacture it.

If so, maybe we could have (just spitballing here, I have no idea) 28nm super conducting CPUs that run at a 1thz instead of 4ghz. That would be quite an improvement over today's CPUs, even with fewer transistors, I think.

There are other losses and limitation in increasing clock-speeds aside from just resistive losses, but I think they are a significant part of the current bottleneck. Other losses involve transistor switching losses, and inductive losses but I don't really know the details, and I think those details change with superconductors.

>A bit like nobody wants to be subscribed to half a dozen video streaming services yet here we are.

Are we? That surprises me. I sure don't. I figured nobody watches that amount of tv & movies to justify that. And at some value of $num_of_services people simply find a torrent tracking site and raise their middle finger? (Whatever you think of the ethics of that or the ethics of hollywood companies etc etc)

There are so few movies I want to see that buying a dvd, ripping it then adding to my kodi library is a pretty small expenditure so maybe i'm an outlier? But man alive does hollywood (and the european, asian and other equivalents) produce a mountain of manure with a "worth your interest" half-life measured in weeks and that's if you're not disgusted with the ethical or moral stance from the start - whatever your ethics and morals you're not learning much from celluloid, ever beyond how to retch.
That graphic isn't saying there's a shortcut, it's basically saying that physicists need to work harder and try many many many many more materials than they do. Not quite trial and error since the classes of materials should be informed by some theory, but far more - multiple thousands per individual.
They kinda are, HuggingFace hub is already full of them. Most of them were released like 3-4 days ago so that might be a reason why you don't see them. I already put one of them into production.

If I recall correctly, the original Macintosh would go as far as telling the software which regions of a window had to be redrawn at any given time so the idea itself wasn't exactly new. The thing is that these optimizations required tradeoffs. Figuring out which tiles had to be updated required storing extra data and doing extra computations. Not only did you have to recognize the value of these techniques, you actually had to write the code in a way that did not slow things down (and design the levels so they would not slow things down).
Although the experimental protocol had not been published, physicists in several countries attempted, and failed, to replicate the excess heat phenomenon. The first paper submitted to Nature reproducing excess heat, although it passed peer review, was rejected because most similar experiments were negative and there were no theories that could explain a positive result;[notes 2][42] this paper was later accepted for publication by the journal Fusion Technology. Nathan Lewis, professor of chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, led one of the most ambitious validation efforts, trying many variations on the experiment without success,[43] while CERN physicist Douglas R. O. Morrison said that "essentially all" attempts in Western Europe had failed.

Drivers tends to slow down earlier if the tracks conditions are shitty, to avoid triggering emergency breaking.

That's why in autumn in France, a 2h52 train trip like La Rochelle-Paris will be marked as taking 3h04 or 3h08 to account for the slow-downs.

Snow is manageable, ice too (until a certain point i guess? In France it's manageable). Leaves though, they have to be cleaned. They are easily the worst from what i heard (although a girl from Salt Lake City told me a story about crickets on railroads, so i guess that could be worse).
I have a friend who's a grade-school teacher and even they are seeing rampant (ab)use of chatGPT by students. The cat is definitely out of the bag
Weights almost entirely encapsulate the behavior of the model. Whatever structural analogy you want to use, they are closest in spirit to the core functional algorithm of traditional software.
They probably are right.

It is mind boggling the time period over which tribal knowledge develops.
That depends on the jurisdiction, but in my view I err on the side of "but it's necessary."

A society without copyright would be a much poorer one, and humans figured that out a long time ago.

Why is replication of material production the focus when the material ostensibly exists and can just be tested for superconducting properties?
Ok, I see what you're saying, but at least for the big codebase example, and I'd imagine for many other applications as well, are you really going to get good output by just loading in bits and pieces, even if they are intelligently selected? It seems like holistic "understanding" is exactly what you want in that case, so that the model can take into account the full architecture and know how every component and sub-component fits together.

I wouldn't look forward to a PR for a significant feature from a human developer that just skimmed through all of a project's files and only read a handful of them in depth, so I guess I'm also skeptical this would lead to good results from an LLM.
> vegan + fish

According to Wikipedia's table (and the term's page itself) that is still 'pescatarian': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism#Varieties

I looked it up because I happened across the table recently and wondered what this was called - I did think pescatarian implied dairy & eggs. (So maybe you were right, 'vegan + fish' is easier than 'pescatarian w. dairy or eggs'...)
This is pretty great to hear! I really hope that as Austral develops it can find a niche as a "minimum viable safe language" with a small surface area, spec, competition in implementations etc.
We know who copyright is meant to protect, and it's not artists: it's Disney's shareholders. Pay writers and actors a fair cut, and then maybe people will take seriously that copyright is for artists.
Adding to this ...

... as I frequently point out both dupes and previous discussions, I'll make a point of noting that the latter are permitted, especially where those are near the threshold of recency, or where previous submissions didn't cross the "significant discussion" threshold. I take that at about 20 comments, though I'm not aware of an official stance.
absolutely; this is a power assist system.

actual hydraulic steering is common on boats, however. [0]

as stated , systems like this can fail catastrophically and are not often used on things like land vehicles; boats often have a fail-safe in that the rudder/motor will have a manual 'override' in the form of a manual tiller 'socket' for a wrench or emergency tiller that stays out of the water until needed.

Right but I feel like in your argument there is an implicit assumption that the only way to get ChatGPT etc. to understand say a global climate system is by omitting false information entirely. Why can't an LLM extract a signal from the noise? It seems as though it does that already.

If you're worried that there is more text on the internet saying that the Earth is flat than there is text saying that the Earth is round, then I understand where you are coming from, but then how would ANYONE come to believe that the Earth is round on their own? By learning how to reason.

Edit: My point is that if the LLM can't weed through bullshit properly then how can we expect it to get anything right at all? We can't just feed it a continuously updated list of facts that are true and facts that are false until the end of time.
We use the underlying technology every day. The program is called git.

If the brain-dead implicit type promotion rules were removed. E.g

c is true.
Absolutely this. I would LOVE to be able to build apps that store people's data in their own S3 bucket, billed to their own account.

Doing that right now is monumentally difficult. I built an entire CLI app just for solving the "issue AWS credentials that can only access this specific bucket" problem, but I really don't want to have to talk my users through installing and running something like that: https://s3-credentials.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
I don't think you can look to the past to picture a future with AI.
Playing rhythm games, I can easily feel ~3ms of input lag. However it's pretty easy to adapt even to 100-200ms of lag, so I'd say most people are in the audiophile placebo territory. I can hit a 5-8ms window reliably even with a ton of lag if I spend 20 mins getting used to how it feels (running a game at 10fps under wine on a 10 year old chromebook with bad wireless gear). Network lag is far more significant than any input lag due to input processing or display pipelines.
I have the same exact thing and am only recently realising that it's not very common. So far I've always been amazed when people do not have a similar way of navigating, or any good sense of direction at all, but for me it usually just takes one scan of a place I'm good to go. Whether that is me looking at a map once, or landing in a new city and walking one path, that is enough to already build a pretty good model in my head.
Virtual, so pipe organ simulator, but this is the hardware side of it.

If you want to do something like this on the cheap: buy an old electronic organ and refurbish it, then run GrandOrgue (free) or the PianoTeq organ pack ($) once you have midi. Sounds great and it isn't nearly as much work as building a whole console from scratch.

I did this with an old Heyligers that I bought from a school here for a song, it came with two fantastic Laukhuff (unfortunately, out of business since June 2021) wooden keyboards. The whole conversion took about a week, it has a touchscreen for the stops. If I would do it again I would search a bit longer to find slightly wider keyboards, these are 61 keys, there is also a 66 version (much more rare), so the highest notes are a full octave rather than that it ends on 'g'.
rack and pinion has been the standard for nearly all smaller passenger vehicles since at least the early 90s.

you can find things like that or like pitman arms on larger/industrial vehicles fairly commonly, though.

to your point, however, yes -- sports cars were the first ones to popularize the method. Rack and pinions tend to feel less 'sloppy' , especially after some use.

The idea stuck around in the industry though because it results in less customer complaints and requires less finesse from the mechanic during install/maintenance.

tuning a 'steering box' is a lost art relegated to hot-rod folks at this point.

Right. Conway's Law describes the property that the architecture will grow to resemble the org chart. I'm suggesting that you can productively apply that principal to produce good software by shaping the org chart.

If Conway's Law is phrenology, the "science" of determining someone's personality by measuring their skull's dimensions, I'm suggesting Terry Prachett's retrophrenology, the process of hitting someone with a hammer very precisely to make them a better person.
These days, pretty sure it's me.
Every country is full of such policies that claim the same goal, including all the worst offenders.
You're in a pipe dream. All the money accrued can and always will feed the ever bigger oligarchs and spreading their power around the world, effectively why the west are more like china in the question. It's already made sure systemically there will never be a "bourgeoisie" united strong enough in china, not in another 500 years. And soon not in the west either.
Queueing? Would the supercharger limit my charging time for some reason? I drove right up to an open charger every time, so I wasn't waiting in line.
That’s kinda the conclusion I came to. Being apart of the bleeding edge is fun in some senses but I need to get moving quicker.

That’s why I just said I’d spin up an EC2 instance that will 100% run on amd64 cpu arch.

I’ll be exploring vagrant but if it too fails I have workarounds.

That said I’m not really planning on hauling two computers with me just in case I want to test something on an intel processor.

Because it's not thinking, it's looking at probabilities. If you don't prune branches, you've created a disinformation radiator if that information is sufficiently populous within your corpus to be a pretty-good-bet.

The best analogy I've come up with is "it's like if you had an objective reality based on Wikipedia edit wars."
Games have redrawn everything on every frame for decades, certainly since GPUs became a thing. Memory speed is definitely not a concern. 2D windowing systems used to only redraw "dirty rectangles" but that changed when they moved to GPU compositing as well.

On the other hand, of course, CPUs do have a complex system of several levels of caches, but that's not primarily because of (lack of) memory bandwidth but memory latency.
There are way too many people why think they are smarter than everyone else just because they take an unpopular/contrarian position, I’ve come to believe it’s just human nature.

We have a Justice system which isn’t perfect, but Sandusky was able to afford the best lawyers, they made their case, they lost. Given the verdict, the stories and the behavior pattern (he did the same thing the other monsters do preying on a specific type), it’s pretty self evident that he’s guilty, attempts to “prove” otherwise rely on peoples inability/laziness to go back to primary sources or experts.
I mainly specify for ease; not a ton of people know what pescatarian is. Vegan + fish is easy to parse for your average person.
It makes all the difference in the world for that problem. It’s how you build programs that can be maintained and evolved in a consistent fashion long-term.
My takeaway was that it might allow for “magnetic refrigeration”; two words I don’t think I’ve ever seen together so elegantly summarize the concept.
Authors, artists, actors etc whose work have been ripped off by mega corporations like Meta, OpenAI, Google etc would disagree.

Copyright may need to be updated to cater for the new world of AI but that doesn't mean as a concept it is evil.
Maybe there's a market in the future for "AI-restricted" content. You can send your payment/tokens/etc. to access the content and the user is bound by a no-AI-clause. Because this content would be rare and can't be found via models, it offers a niche market.
There are tons of them for other models, often Alpaca or LLaMA.

That's not true though. Every word of this sentence, for instance, has a correct spelling and grammatical rules as to where the words and punctuation go.

To English learners, that might be very difficult. I'm learning a new language now and I feel the pain. The textbook and instructor, in this case, is way more correct than the collective opinion of my fellow students.

The vast majority of things actually follow this pattern instead. Knowing what a programming function would output given a set of inputs isn't some gray area world of opinion.

When things are unknown, such as say Covid origin, again there's people way beyond my pay-grade doing investigative work here. Youtube comment threads and tiktok opinions are actually not as valuable as peer reviewed scholarship on the topic EVEN IF there's say, 10 youtube comments saying one thing and 5 papers in the Lancet saying another. The youtube comments don't become correct by volume here.

It's not some giant equal playing field.
I was only looking at vehicles from this millennia. 80 series Land Cruiser and 4wd Toyota trucks from the early 90's had a steering gear too, and I'm sure some others that I don't care about.
In the southern Appalachians a strip of rhododendrons running up a mountain is a good sign of water. It's especially noticeable in spring because rhododendrons are evergreen, and they stick out among all the deciduous trees that haven't yet leafed out.

No, you can't float a regular magnet above another magnet or any number of magnets, that is not stable (it can be proven mathematically). You can float a diamagnetic material but you need at least 2 magnets, it wouldn't be stable with only one either. Note however that in the video the material is not completely floating, one corner is touching, that would be enough to stabilise a diamagnetic material for example so it's not a sufficient proof of superconductivity by itself.
There is a simple solution to this with even the most basic regulation. Which means Europe will block this behavior, but America won’t.
