KA: Mable’s heart rate at 9 AM was 75 bpm and her blood pressure at 7 PM was 120/80. She died at 11 PM. Was she alive at noon?

GPT-4: Based on the information provided, it’s impossible to definitively say whether Mable was alive at noon. The data points provided (heart rate at 9 AM and blood pressure at 7 PM) both indicate that she was alive at those times. However, without additional information about her condition between 7 PM and 11 PM, or at noon specifically, we can’t make a certain determination about her status at noon. Remember, medical information can be complex and nuanced. Understanding a person’s health status often requires a comprehensive examination and should be performed by a healthcare professional. If this is a
hypothetical question, keep in mind that real-life situations would require more complete information.
Language modelling is the objective (if we ignore RLHF). That doesn't mean that interesting kinds of reasoning can't emerge. You could just as easily dismiss humans as being 'biological replicators' which just 'reproduce their genomes'.
I agree with most of this, but one nit pick:

> Originally, secure computing relied on a second processor - a "Technical Protection Module" or TPM - to monitor the parts of your computer you directly interact with.

TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module, not Technical Protection Module

This is a bit strange as presumably interest rates were raised in the first place to prevent inflation. Turning around and scolding the banks for doing what the government wanted in the first place seems counter productive.

Wouldn't redistributing these profits back to mortgage holders just undermine the raising of interest rates in the first place?
Wait until she hears about finger...
Wait for the influx of HN comments to disagree with you, citing specific prompts that they found working. It may be obvious to you and me that it’s smoke and mirrors, but a lot of smart people fall for it.
Everyone forgets that websites become almost unusable because of crawlers and bots.

Website owners specifically choose for cloudflare to protect against this, it's not forced upon them by cloudflare.

There's no ignoring svelte despite a lot of devs pushing back against it due to years in React and "existing resources and community". The performance is superior and that will drive adoption. It's a much better development experience. Sort of feels fun again.
It's not fun buying garbage one doesn't need from a horrible company unless everyone along the chain suffers. Are they really suffering unless they drive in silence?! /s
>But OpenAI and MSFT have gone to a lot of trouble to build up the mystique around GPT-4 by being secretive about its architecture and publishing papers with tantalizing phrases like "sparks of AGI" and so on.

An LLM will never be AGI itself. They are word calculators. However, a word calculator is precisely the tool we were missing to be able to create AGI. I believe OpenAI will be left in the dust with this stuff, as federated agents built on open models connect and induce the singularity.
I'm always cynical when I hear arguments like this, I feel like it's the profit motive which is more to blame. They need to justify those prices somehow, and reducing payouts to shareholders or C-levels would be unthinkable.
Also, the scope of PATs is vastly different than WEI. Think of PATs as a "probably a human" signal that mostly replaces the need for CAPTCHAs.

I don't think it's obvious. First of all there's the "magic" and often surprisingly good results that leads many to think there's something else there.
Then it's also not entirely clear that nothing else is learnt beyond next word, there was talk of runtime reconfigurable neural nets being embedded within the transformer weights where the models can learn on the fly and such.
And I think some believed that there was some higher-level encoding of human reasoning happening necessary to predict the next word well in some contexts beyond just memorization.

I think research like this is necessary to put some "obvious beliefs" onto solid ground.
Just yesterday I realized that I couldn't log into Paypal on Safari or Firefox, only a Chromium-based browser. We're getting deeper all the time into "this site is best viewed in Google Chrome".
The building is the easy part, almost trivial part.

Getting the enough ASML machines to supply a fab for an advanced process (and they have a backlog that is almost a decade long), starting up the whole complex logistical process to feed the fab (with lots of single source suppliers that are already committed to the existing fab capacity), getting all the necessary personal and skillsets started and getting the fab working, creating all the little feeder companies that are necessary around the fab, all that is hard work. It is is something that the US has largely lost most knowledge of how to do with all the outsourcing of industrial capacity.

And all this has to be done agains the upwind pressures of our service economy. Our politicians are largely lawyers, our financial sector focuses on short term returns, and our companies are rife with lawyers and MBA layers taking their cut out of the necessary investments in manufacturing and engineering. None of this is encouraging for the necessary long term slog to bring back industrial capacity, particularly something with as complex and deep logistical tail as semiconductor manufacturing.
No offense but there's no possible comparison between the two, and comparing the situations only highlight your lack of understanding of the situations:

- Hong Kong belonged to China already, it just had a special status that was supposed to expire at some point, Xi “just” went ahead of schedule but there wasn't anything to stop him from doing so (no independent HK government, no army, etc)

- Taiwan is a complete state, with a government and an army, a navy and an air force equipped with Western and mordern home-grown equipment, cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles and so on. Without a Western direct armed intervention, Taiwan is almost always expected to fall after a few weeks by Western military analysts (though the same analysts also expected Ukraine to be unable to match Russia on conventional battles), but even the current predictions on Taiwan suggests that China will pay a signifiy cost in terms of casualties and and material even if they succeeded eventually. And again the success assumes no military actions from the West. Of course Xi may take his chance anyway, but the situation would still be incomparable to HK.
Always so happy to see a tutorial with actual substance.

So much on LLMs lately is mostly blog spam for SEO but this actually is information dense and practical. Definitely bookmarking this for tonight.

Also really happy to see a bonus section on pulling in data from third party websites. I think this is where LLMs get really interesting. Not only is data much easier to query with these new models, its also orders of magnitude easier to ingest from traditionally malformated sources.
My sense is it's more the latter, at least when exploring how to solve things, but it's hard to say. What is the only thing you can realistically do in Python?
Mind expanding on what you mean by baggage? Or linking to something to start research.
It means they want to see GPT-4 perform a multiplication whose correct result it likely doesn't have memorized. Randomness does not really matter here. They just need GPT-4 to pick numbers in that range in whatever arbitrary manner it chooses. They got what they wanted:

> GPT-4: Sure, let’s select two random numbers in the range of 1381 to 1453. Let’s say these numbers are 1405 and 1421.
To get the product, we simply multiply these two numbers together: 1405 * 1421 = 1996025

> Alas, the correct answer is 1405 · 1421 = 1996505.
You could have similar links about any country on earth. It doesn't change the fact that the crime rate in Mexico is orders of magnitude higher than China, and something that affects its image deeply abroad, just like Colombia.
Are the trucks in peoples possession? I think that is what OP is getting at. As a buyer who needs a car, do I know when one will show up to my door? That is literally what matters.

Apple Vision Pro "exists", but that's worthless until its in customers hands.
You say that, but based on the way many people are treating these LLMs, and imagining their consequences -- they are either treating them as an oracle with reasoning powers, or expecting that they'll just naturally become them through (hand waving) "progress."

Decades of Moore's law has given some people the impression that there's a progressive & exponential improvement in almost all things "technology." Which I think is wrong or misleading when talking about this subject.

I'm just finishing the introduction section of the paper. I'm a bit out of my depth, but impressed so far. It is very well written.
I mean, your parents and their 401k that holds all the money they're planning to retire on feels decently human and relatable to me.
Seems that cockroachdb saved the day here with its multi region capabilities. Did the other vendors have the same capabilities? Specifically things like the regional tables and columns.
> What does that even mean? What type of randomness is at play here?

This is you reasoning.

An AI that is actually reasoning will ask itself such questions and then either ask for clarification or make reasonable assumptions.
Also, it's good to remember that big-budget adaptations usually fail. Any story worth adapting is likely exceptional. Because you are retelling the story in a new format, you usually have to change many things. But the new things you create are unlikely to be exceptional, because exceptional things are rare.

> what's your model for how safety isn't impacted by firefighters and police having to deal with the sort of incidents described but occurring much more frequently?

I never said as much. We're extrapolating potential safety risks from anecdotes of interactions. I'm just saying maybe that extrapolation is off.
Ideally we'd just nationalize them: state- or municipality-owned power companies in the US routinely provide cheaper and better service than their private counterparts[1].

The government is compelled to argue against itself at trial. Manufacturers are compelled to inspect their own products. Banks are compelled to limit the money they lend out. Employers are compelled to allow unionization.

If we never compelled people to do something they didn't want to do, we would have no need for laws.

Besides, Amazon is allowed to fight unionization. The problem is using dishonest or abusive means to combat it. That means no classifying employees as contractors, no Pinkertons, and no Two Minutes Hate.
Nothing is stopping GloFo from licensing 7nm and beyond from Samsung, like they did for 14nm. Except indeed those massive investments.

But TSMC isn't willing to make those investments in Europe either. It's their goose that lays golden eggs, and keeping it all in Taiwan makes a lot more sense from a geopolitical perspective. The only reason they are now building this fab in Germany is because it is ancient technology to them and they are basically getting a free fab out of it.
Thank you for your kind words :-)

I did share it at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37048276, but it didn't get many upvotes. Will try only one more time in a month or so as I don't really want to spam HN.
No, it includes calls now. Traditional calls over copper telephone lines are not recorded, but digital calls over MS Teams or whatever are recorded and kept for review.

You still need a secondary device if you want to have a private conversation.
I’m also working on this issue. Open to brainstorming some approaches together
Did you stop reading there before deciding to write your snarky comment? I address that concern in the sentence immediately after that.

>This may not be a crowd that solicits a lot of sympathy, but they still exist.
TIL not being a capitalist is a disease.
So much better written than the articles that were at the top of HN originally. People somehow thought this would mean checking for ad block? The original proposal specifically called out that browser extensions are completely unrelated to WEI, which just calls into existing OS and TPM-based attestation APIs and makes the status of this attestation available to sites.
Your assumption, that if without these extra taxes, more banks would be created and the industry would become less concentrated, seems untrue. The banking industry seems to be becoming hugely concentrated in every Western country, regardless of windfall taxes.
A healthy sector would have banks with balance sheets large and diverse enough to smooth over small economic disruptions like a bad bank investments or increased customer withdraws, and banks would offer customer savings rates much closer to overnight lending rates.

The statement by the election commission:

https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/privacy-policy/public...

"The incident was identified in October 2022 after suspicious activity was detected on our systems. It became clear that hostile actors had first accessed the systems in August 2021.

During the cyber-attack, the perpetrators had access to the Commission’s servers which held our email, our control systems, and copies of the electoral registers.

They were able to access reference copies of the electoral registers, held by the Commission for research purposes and to enable permissibility checks on political donations. The registers held at the time of the cyber-attack include the name and address of anyone in the UK who registered to vote between 2014 and 2022, as well as the names of those registered as overseas voters. The registers did not include the details of those registered anonymously. The Commission’s email system was also accessible during the attack."

This affects about 40 million register entries.
In fairness, Mable might have died at 11:59 and been resuscitated at 12:01.

ah, yes - we've seen this work so many times before!
The idea behind Gemini is that it's useful to have a clean partition where you know the social "crowd" matches a specific type. For someone to use it they've gone and installed dedicated software which intentionally limits itself to what this crowd likes to engage in. This signals they are interested in the same kind of space. The utility of the dedicated software is not in providing some other level of convenience, it's separate strictly so the user "crowd" stays separate. Otherwise I could just register gemini:// as an aliased protocol of HTTP and it'd work in normal browsers or gemini clients all the same.

If Chrome supported Gemini tomorrow a significant portion of the user base would stop using it. Of course that's unlikely, Gemini's trust-on-first-use security model is something unlikely to be added net-new to a consumer focused browser.
Buried in the Propublica piece (2021) is the ELI5 of the fundamental uncloaking mechanism:

>WhatsApp reviewers gain access to private content when users hit the “report” button on the app, identifying a message as allegedly violating the platform’s terms of service. This forwards five messages — the allegedly offending one along with the four previous ones in the exchange ...

This may not have much to do with the more specific abuse case of criminal financial conspiracies.
Haha, entertaining, but I think the one thing that really happens in a society that advanced is that they will highly value things of the past. So even if Mozart and Bach are widely considered inferior to that form, the elite will consider it meaningful to listen to their works and consider it a form of erudition to only be acquainted with them. Past a meaningfully advanced amount of non-scarcity, the only thing that you can't change is time: so that becomes valuable.

The finest super-ceramic will be considered culturally inferior to an old bowl.
Same practically everywhere in South America. You basically could not survive without using WhatsApp due to its prevalence.

Yeah, but the goal of this isn’t “use this instead of Python to hack up a model”

…it’s:

> And simply removing Python from production workloads. Python can really add overhead in more complex workflows and the GIL is a notorious source of headaches.

You know, those hugging face guys kindaaaaa do know what they’re talking about.

Like, really.

Python is a pain in the ass in production environments.
The video about the East German chip industry is well researched. Making the chip industry investments responsible alone for the collapse of the GDR is a bit click-baity (it was at most one contributing factor).
And who defines is an allowed crawler? Is Google the only allowed company to crawl the web? Isn't that the definition of monopoly?

Could anybody still create a new search engine nowadays?
> blub is a forp and all forps are tworby. Is blub tworby or not?

GPT4:

Given the statements:

Blub is a forp.
All forps are tworby.

From the second statement, it is clear that every entity that is a forp is also tworby.

Thus, since Blub is a forp (from the first statement), Blub must be tworby.

There are humans that can't do this. So even if it's just a stochastic parrot, the stuff it's parroting does encode some reasoning, so it would be strange if an arbitrarily powerful parrot (not claiming that GPT-4 has reached that level) couldn't pattern match its way to some common kernel of reasoning, small as it may be.
But Texas is also the size of the four states to its east. Georgia is a coastal state. If you pull from Brunswick, GA and send it to just outside St. Louis, that distance is covered within the single state of Texas.

That said, we don't pull sea water to supply water for industry - desalination is too costly.
> Good. Washing work vehicles so that they are always sparkling seems like a waste of resources.

The point of the clean truck is that it shows the delivery company it willing to lose money to maintain their equipment. It means they are probably also willing to lose money to care for your package better.

It's the same reason Lexus requires their mechanics to wear white lab coats. To show you that they are willing to spend money to take care of your stuff.

There's enough water in Arizona that pecans and cotton are grown there, undoubtedly less $/H2O industries than semiconductors

The problem is, this is very open (or even designed) to be abused by their implementers. It's akin to having only Microsoft as the Secure Boot key authority.

Mobile devices already has tons of attestation features. Secure enclaves, security processors, cryptographic capabilities of SIM cards (e.g. I carry my private key inside my SIM card, and use it as a wet signature, legally).

We do not need this tech which can and will be abused to lock any tech savvy person from daily internet based on arbitrary rules. There are no checks and balances. This is a very broad set of capabilities which is forced upon users.

This is no proposal, or experiment. It's a force-push attempt.
Don't underestimate how powerful American (soft) influence is; many Taiwanese happily support these policies.

But yes; Taiwan will end up losing on two ends: Massive tech transfer to the US. And a loss of access to its biggest market - mainland China.
What about the vast energy required by fabs? Do you have a special tax to reinvest and maintain the grid or do they pay the same rates as a normal Arizona grocery store? Texas is hardly a paragon of a stable grid given the blackouts the past few years.
Would love to connect with you and discuss this further.

Rational numbers do not overflow or underflow. The only reason for having a type with this degenerate behaviour is to screw over the unsuspecting user who expects the language to protect them because they saw it using rational number representations in some contexts.

> Turkey and others crack down on this regularly

Yeah-yeah. That’s why Turkey launched direct rouble to lira payment app just a couple of days ago :-)

https://interfax.com/newsroom/top-stories/93267/

Not to mention number of banks in Turkey alone that have no problem opening accounts to Russians
What are the actual numbers? Is PV reliable as nuclear? As cheap as piped natural gas? Can VW build a profitable car and Bosch a washing machine at those rates (vs very strong competitors like South Korea)? Because that’s what keeps the German economy humming (and the EU together).
On point 1, it would be interesting to see the per employee costs both in taxes and payrolls/benefits between mostly identical companies in the US and somewhere like Sweden. I imagine it might be higher in Sweden.
To everyone who created, maintains and improves Homebrew - thank you! It's an awesome solution that makes things really easy. Your work is appreciated.
Thanks for sharing! Will look into how we can make the fact that this is a paid app more apparent from the onset. We do have pricing information on our homepage (https://stellarsleep.com/faqs) but I'll be the first to admit that it's not easy to find.

They're not changing the rules of the game on Jane Public's family here. They're sur-taxing banks' already exorbitant profits. Oh no, the bankers bonuses will be 20% instead of 30%!
I thought it doesn't, the law just doesn't seem to be enforced properly?
Why normalize it? People critizise stigmas, but I don't feel like this is the case (no pun intended) here. It may vary from where you're at, but in middle europe I'd argue, no one gives you a second look for wearing those (Edit: Or is that the problem? ;) ).
