> Anyone with two brain cells should know that one should review outcome with a little bit of common sense?

Have you not met people?

First, technology companies have spent decades marketing their solutions as magical and perfect. And now it's the public fault they're being believed?

Second, even for the skeptic, when a technology works 90% of the time it's easy to start to take for granted that it'll be right the other 10%, and that leads to entirely understandable complacency (a lot of climbers have died this way and they're typically incredibly skilled and diligent).

Worse, when machines get it wrong, they can get it wrong in surprising and unpredictable ways.

Third, information asymmetry can mean the user cannot verify the outputs. If you, for example, don't know anything about Hawaii (or in that case, maybe you don't know how to read a map--that is a skill, after all), how can you know you're being led into disaster?

LLMs have a these problems in spades. They've been marketed as miracles (so much so that some folks have mused about their potential sentience), they're right a lot of the time but very wrong sometimes, and when they are wrong they're wrong in very strange ways, and they can easily used by people who are not sufficient skilled or knowledgeable to verify their outputs.

Who would then be surprised by stories like this?

https://gohugo.io/ is what I've used. I find it easier in some ways then Jekyll, but both have advantages.
I’m right on the cusp (I think). I have a ton of things but they’re at least organized. My problem is I build really strong emotional attachments to things, especially things from my childhood. The 286 I learned BASIC on and all its associated junk? Nah, can’t get rid of that. Desk I had as a child? No way. Talking toy robot my friend brought me back from Japan? Get out of here.

Part of it was also growing up poor. When I did get something it was a rare event and a treasure I had to be certain to take super good care of it because the odds of me getting a replacement were basically zero. I get so irritated when I see people treat their things like crap. If you take care of them you could have them your entire life! I fully understand that’s not most people’s goal though.

It wasn’t a problem when I lived alone, I am extremely organized. Everything in labeled bins and what not.

Living with my wife though who is not organized has made it something of a struggle and a strain on our relationship. To this end I have been working with a therapist for about a year to help me among other things just generally reduce. For instance I have popped the hard drives out of 8 computers and donated them to FreeGeek. Each of the hard drives is labeled and catalogued into a special anti-static storage container. Space wise that alone was a big win.
I mean, I'm not sure how it works in Russia, but in most countries the insurance industry is about the most heavily regulated part of the finance industry, particularly since the financial crisis; that would be difficult to pull off :)

(Now curious whether "client became a dictator and is currently provoking people into murdering him" is sufficient basis for an insurer to get out of a policy...)
I implore everyone here to try the GPT4 + Instacart integration. It's very similar to what the article describes, but will add all ingredients in the recipes to an instacart page for you!

Once Walmart or Kroger have this functionality for local pickup, I plan on never grocery shopping the old fashion way again.

Once I even had it create some weird 'monster' recipes which included cookies INSIDE a turkey, and it successfully added all ingredients (even the cookies) to my instacart shopping cart.
I'm sorry it hurts your head. I'm happy to sponsor a packet of paracetamol or some water if that helps. Ultimately, this is fun, not science. I'm just happy that after all these attempts, it finally got to a unicorn.
About last paragraph/issue the situation with OS BPB OEM string has been historically very complex, there is an exhaustive article by jdebp about the matter:

It isn't someone else's job to prove your claims for you. You don't get to say something outlandish then get mad at the other person for 'not googling it'.

You searching for something specific and finding it has nothing to do with statistics. You moved to finding specific news articles with the title you wanted. That would be like me saying that a lot of polish people are serial killers:

https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-polish-serial-killers/web...

or that polish travelers are murderers:

Again, this is a racist stereotype you are trying to dig in to.
> Whether Taiwanese Mandarin is a separate language or not is a matter of opinion.

There are dialect pairs where the question of whether they are separate languages is blurry. Taiwanese Mandarin and the official Mandarin of the PRC are nowhere near the level of difference where this question even arises. Mutual intelligibility is unproblematic.

> the output for "zh-tw" does not reflect the language actually used by people in Taiwan, and to that end it betrays the trust of the user.

If users were actually selecting "Taiwanese Mandarin," as opposed to "Chinese (Traditional)," and if Google were doing a decent job of translating into Chinese in the first place, I would agree with you. But neither is the case.
i mean in AI specifically, you need your stuff to be usable by a small lab of prof/grad students, otherwise it will never get adoption.

usually at least some of the compute resources are "prosumer" workstations using commercial cards.
Terrible shame. CNET reviews were like going shopping in a technology wonderland when I was a kid. I wonder if they're going to erase James Kim's body of work as well. That would be a shame.

I think that's fine; albeit a potentially awkward conversation, I personally would rather have known "hey, here's what you can get into, here is what is private" but we never talked about it at all.

Especially important to communicate that in your case, on the off chance they want to hire a data recovery firm in some hope of saving wedding photos or something
Ah, I suppose you are right. The text content is pretty dense on the site which definitely reminds me more of 90's era web, which is what I thought he was talking about.
Segerman's recordshop is still running and an icon in the Cape Town music scene! https://mabuvinyl.wordpress.com/
I don't think you've ruined anything long-term because the situation sounds like a nightmare and is easily explained if someone honestly cares. Nothing sounds like a failure on your part.

Leaving sounds like the best option particularly if people are ending up in hospital in the current environment!
For one thing, LSP (last I checked) was still unable to distinguish between read and write.
I can't say much about the early history, but trackers have a unique UI compared to other DAW software. Instead of a staff or piano-roll, the tracker UI looks more like a spreadsheet, with each column being a channel, each row being a step, and each cell containing a note or effect.

This representation meshed well with early demoscene music storage and code, and evolved into its own subculture in the late 80's and early 90's.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker
Welltris isn't really 3d. The viewport is, but the gameplay is 2d. It's on (five of the six sides of) the interior surface of a cube, but that's the same as if those sides were folded out flat into a 2d plane. Each cell has only four adjacencies, not the six degrees of freedom that would exist in a fully 3d volume.
None of that is even remotely true.
hmmm.. they don't seem to really explain the rules of the game here. Doesn't the length of time it takes to crack a password depend on the rate at which you are allowed to try different guesses at the password prompt, and whether or not you get locked out or penalized with delays after a certain number of wrong guesses?

When they say it takes 48 minutes to "crack" my password are they assuming some specific rate at whichever the system they are trying to log in to responds to failed login attempts?
Not much of "IMO", this is widely acknowledged on a lot of different contexts. Employers can not get consent from employees.

It may be different if it's gathered during the hiring process. The earlier, the more likely it is to make a difference.

But just to point it out: on many countries employers do not need consent, often they just need acknowledgement. That one they can get, by doing exactly the things that are on the article.
Between superman and supersonic planes, super feels common and slightly old fashioned. To me "super" feels the least superior of the three.
Your anecdote touches on an interesting aspect of the LLM discourse, where people assume "the standard" here on Earth is God-like correctness, or perhaps the Perfect Parent that Knows Everything.

That was never the case, there was no source of all information that was always right and didn't make mistakes. Even professionally assembled encyclopedias had errors. Newspapers published recipes without explaining the dangers of nutmeg overdoses. Experts in a field might know a lot about a single subject but go outside of that and they'd have as crazy of opinions and believe as much bogus folklore as anyone else.
Sure, each day it will draw a unicorn. Each time the model changes, we'll have a new group of drawings. No they're not drawn at T=0 but even at T=0 GPT-4 is not deterministic. This isn't science -- this is just a bit of fun.
Oh, that's clever.

Total comp as a metric is almost always used to exaggerate the amount of compensation by adding things to salary/rate.

- Pension/401k/profit sharing contributions
- Employer contribution to health insurance/life insurance
- Vacation/sick time compensation

These aren't nothing, and you do want to have it available for the basis of total-comp to total-comp across employers, but they're _not_ the same as direct comp.

The people quoted in the article are making the category error of comparing salary to total comp. If an engineer is making 170K in direct comp, they're almost certainly making _way more than that_ in total comp. Insurance might be 10K. Profit sharing/401k could be up to another 15%. Other fringe benefits like health club membership could be thousands of dollars. You people who get options -- that counts, too.
Even though you did your due diligence, this situation is where the phrase "That job was not a good fit for me" is applicable. Since you've been at your current job less than 90 days, there is also the option of simply not mentioning it on future job applications.
> ""If I ask for something I don't want, will it give me something I want??" - no

Not all the time, no — but ChatGPT 3.5 is much better at that exact thing than Google or responses from StackOverflow etc. users.
It is definitely a nice milestone, for researchers.

I do think, though, that one of the rewards of making LLMs promising was the discovery that the bar for “what is useful” for any task is higher than what the average person can do. That could be seen as moving the goalposts, but another way of looking at it is: we’ve finally bothered to install a scoreboard.

Like, if a person can’t solve a quadratic equation, they probably just aren’t useful for manipulating equations. Which is fine, of course, the average person is also not a very good hammer or screwdriver.

We’re all specialized, the bar for usefulness is probably something more like “how would a person who’s taken an intro college course on this do it.”
Then simply train the model to predict whether a human can interpret it as a unicorn.
More Than 40% of Japanese Women May Never Have Children
My opinion on this may be worthless since I have worked in AI since 1982, and I am guilty of enjoying living through several AI hype cycles.

After seeing surprising advances in techniques for deep models, then attention+transformer models, I think there is a lot of progress still to be made with cooperating LLMs. I have a simple example of this in the last book I wrote.

I have no idea what new ideas will work, but I would be very surprised if every 4 or 5 years new and fresh ideas don’t occur to achieve really good reasoning, counterfactual reasoning, etc. Anyway, putting the chance of transformative AGI below 1% for the next 20 years seems wrong to me.
Mechanical turk 'workers' use ChatGPT
Edit: I literally found the article from my childhood project of replicating the website of the article, sitting in Google Drive trash, awaiting the 30days deletion. I searched for the exact title and indeed the article is nuked from the entire internet including webarchive except mere links on FB and Twitter. Three letter guys caught red handed. Here's the data of the article: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wjPH5hN-uyATlO7K3Ynz...

Open the metin.txt for article. veri.json is metadata, 'baslik' means title. I hope my google account will not be burned over this.
There is one thing that vim provides that the neovim folks have said that they will never provide, and that’s a GUI.

Unless the vim project gives that up (and there will be significant outrage over that), or unless the neovim folks give up that particularly shortsighted stance (having a first-party cross-platform pluggable GUI is a good thing), I do not see a merge ever happening.
> you'll see people start to behave as if they can't be guaranteed a job somewhere.

I'm trying to follow the thread, are you saying that people who don't want to have every mouse click tracked or their private home network, outside the work VPN searched, are behaving in an entitled manor?
So did I, but fiddlerwoaroof evidently has kept up with the news better.

What in particular are they doing?

This seems different than watching day to day work. I understand that if the company is suspicious an employee is doing something that’s an fireable offense then they need tools to take action.
I think it's mostly the name and phrasing, but it really does sound like a vaguely comedic line from some old sci-fi show.
An easy solution is to put this output back into a prompt and check to see if its dangerous.
The scariest version of that mental Tetris Effect I ever got was from Katamari Damacy. I'd be driving along a road, and start judging items like mailboxes and signs as to whether my car was big enough to roll them up if I drove into them.
It would have to be like 7ft long for that.
Didn't Bram himself say anything on this matter? (I know of that one single quote "keep me alive").

RIP Bram, I learned a lot from you.

Being a dual Pakistan/USA citizen, I am deeply saddened by this meddling by US in Pakistan's internal politics. Imran, who I don't support BTW, was a hugely popular leader. Him being thrown out, then clandestine kidnappings of 10s of thousands of his party members, and finally the press and media not being allowed to even utter his name (yes, they are not allowed to say his name on air), is a civilian martial law that is as anti democratic as it gets.

I hope future US governments actually act as the flagships of democracy that we claim to be.
Biden issues an executive order restricting US investments in Chinese technology
This is hilarious. We didn't learn from Superman III, where Superman tricks the evil supercomputer by bringing in supposedly inert chemicals that the supercomputer doesn't realize could become damaging.

Instead of saying the tool should be used by people 18 or over, they should just say it's a marketing gag, and of course if you put bad things in, you'll get bad things out.
Should we not train GPT until Microsoft's data centers are all with zero emissions?

Yes.That is honestly what we should do. We are absolutely fucking this planet over and every other living creature is being pushed into major suffering. So yes we should have everything running on zero emissions, renewables / nuclear, yes.
> As to this particular war - the US agreed at the end of the cold war not to expand NATO east and yet it did, breaking the agreement.

This is a persistent myth, there was never an agreement to not expand NATO with the USSR, and the one person who would know at the time Mikhail Gorbachev has said as much.

> At multiple points during this war, the Russians have offered to negotiate. Instead, the US has responded with "to the last Ukrainian".

The Ukrainians where negotiating regarding the war then the Russians where pushed out of a number of cities that they held and we saw the horrific scene they left behind.

That is likely the point that the Ukrainian's decided that there would be no negotiating.

> Today, Russia is essentially also arguing for pre-emptive war but the reasoning - putting American missiles and forces in Ukraine - is a hell of a lot plausible.

Yet theres no war against Finland is there, and there will be US soldiers in Finland far before they are ever in Ukraine.

> The fact that there has been not one effort to negotiate by the Americans shows that the West isn't interested in peace or the interests of Ukrainians - they simply want a country naive and suicidal enough to throw themselves against the Russian subhumans.

There has been an effort to negotiate by the Americans, which ironically angered a large number of people as it happened behind the backs of Ukraine by using back channels.
>>The spending is inextricably tied to the nation’s $1.6 trillion federal student debt crisis. Colleges poured out money in part by raising tuition prices, leaving many students with few options but to take on more debt. That means student loans served as easy financing for university projects.

Exactly. Get rid of and severely cut government subsidies, let the universities declare bankruptcy,cut useless administrative costs and staff, and lower their prices to match actual affordability equilibrium. We wouldn't have this problem if scholarships and loans were private and universities actually had to show a return on a student's investment to earn their attendence.
The "tip" made me chuckle.

20k sounds like peanuts compared to the cost of maintaining their own platform.
The extremely obvious major difference here is that the company isn't based in a country with a dark past history of institutional prejudice against Pastafarians, let alone one which eventually led to genocide.

Edit to add: you also have a major false equivalence in your initial premise re: "required to check all religious holidays from all people that could reasonably attend".

SUSECon is a public conference attended by customers/users/community, but specifically in this case they chose a date incompatible with the religious beliefs of an extremely high-profile SUSE employee, whose job responsibilities would require them to be highly visibly working at the conference. This is absolutely not the same thing as failing to schedule the conference dates in a way that is sensitive to all possible attendees.

This situation also should be considered in the context of all the other things discussed in the article (prior to the section on SUSECon), not in isolation.
I was just picking two specific old men that you don't know but probably knew each other, one already dead, as an extreme example of old money (and aversion to work) vs. new money (and excessive ambition).

My point is that different people look up (or down) to different people by different criteria: "net worth" interests competitive capitalist adventurers, "who your parents were or where you come from" remains a high priority when someone is wealthy enough for their lifestyle.
In western democratic countries, the government doesn't typically exercise very much control over academia (and in fact academia is a huge source of criticism of the government and its policies in most such countries). There are exceptions (eg that thing recently where the government of Texas harassed an A&M academic over criticising His Holiness the Lieutenant Governor) but that was exceptional enough that it got significant news coverage, and the government of Texas is definitely on the dysfunctional end of western democracies.
We could but this is also a fun project, which is why when I checked it today I was surprised that what I saw was not a turd with eyes (2023-05-18) nor a strange sea creature (2023-07-08) but something which, for the first time I think, actually resembled a unicorn.

I appreciate all the comments around determinism, sampling, scientific method, but as I said when I posted this just after building, it really is just for fun and to see, over time, if the general mish mash of outputs become more refined without any changes to the prompt (which doesn't aid it through CoT/ToT or improving on previous attempts etc.)
www.tineye.com is also a pretty good image searcher.
AI can be disruptive and innovative without being AGI.
I think AGI discussion is more useful for financing academic projects.

Lower cost of gpt and whisper are good enough for business and dictatorships. Infinite drones with the current human recognition capability can do the leg work (pun), no universal AGI soldier needed. Just current AI and batteries!
Doesn't matter as much what you do or how, but more importantly that you've communicated it to the people who will have to deal with your stuff if you were to kick the bucket tomorrow.

I suspect the model is fundamentally the same underneath, but that various tricks like quantization are being performed in the deployed model to improve inference speed/cost at the expense of output quality.
