I certainly respect Nick Cave, but I don't think his impression of working with ChatGPT matches reality.

I haven't done song writing in particular, but I would think it would be more like a super powered rhyming dictionary... one that knows a bit about syllables and can look ahead by verses and not just sentences.

If you want to say something then ChatGPT can't decide what to say, what you feel, what expression will share what's inside you. But when you are searching for those things, when you have a spark you want to make real, it can greatly help in that search.

You could also be lazy and just settle for whatever ChatGPT spits out, satisfied that it rhymes. A lot of human-written songs don't offer much more than that. Maybe that's fine, obviously music is more than just lyrics.

We don't know yet if these tools will lead to greater forms of expression, more voices able to express themselves; or if it will devalue expression by creating art that has the form of expression with no person underneath being expressed. There's dangers... but it's too early to call.
None of the general forgiveness ones require any type of employment. Anyone can join the latest program SAVE. There is no income limit and your payment can be $0 and considered in good standing. It's all based off of your income. I think a family of 4 can make into the mid 60's before they have to pay. It also doesn't compound interest beyond your normal payment anymore, so no more start out with 60k in loans and 5 years later you have an 80k balance.

I would imagine that its someone who builds a profitable offering on the back of OSS and doesn't give back anything.
There is a difference between "making money and making art" and "making money by making art". No one is entitled to having other people value their artistic output. I would argue that art created for the marketplace is less creative than art produced by a human's need to create for creation's sake. It's not un-artistic, but it is the kind of art that an AI can make better, faster, and cheaper.
Having a fully-grammatical, open-ended conversation in a natural language with a computer was 100% science fiction until now.
Indeed, some pushers were used early in WW1; e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Aircraft_Factory_F.E.2

But as you say, the puller turned out to be superior.
By my own moral compass. If a company says "lots of people on Amazon are looking to buy what we have, let's make sure we're present in that market", that's completely moral. Compare that with, "a child is preparing for their math test tomorrow by watching a video, let's interrupt them and make them watch a commercial about our sugary, addictive, and unhealthy drink".

How do these goals set out the needed ratios of memory to compute to interconnect bandwidth?

An ideal machine designed to train GPT4 in a day is likely very different to the ideal machine to train 50 GPT4s as once over a few weeks, which is very different from the ideal machine to train a model 100x bigger than GPT4 (perhaps the most interesting).
I agree there are a couple niche cases like woks, but very few Americans ever use them, and if you do there are easy workarounds like electric woks. Electric ovens are typically better for broiling (https://www.consumerreports.org/appliances/ranges/gas-or-ele..., https://www.consumerreports.org/ranges/how-to-get-the-most-f...). Why do you think frying is better with gas?

Obviously some good gas stoves will still be better than bad electric ones, so I'm not discounting your individual experience, but I don't think your experience generalizes well.

Yes, you and croes have an excellent point. We'll see if someone challenges the trademark (or sues for trademark infringement). That might be interesting.
That's mostly a problem with GPT3, not GPT4. I'm not saying it doesn't make some of them up, but I've had great research experiences with it.

It's true that after you use the bot to fetch you the papers, you do still need to read them... but given what a dramatic difference there is between GPT3 and 4 I'd say this is a problem that will be utterly annihilated before most people even hear it exists.

Longevity doesn't really matter as most roofs are only good for 25-30 years. As such you are removing the panels anyway to repair the roof, there is not much additional cost to just replace them. Odds are newer solar technology will exist by then and so you will want to upgrade.
I am thinking of Jeff Tweedy, and it was a big bummer for me to hear that from them.

Would love to be enlightened about why it's more complicated.
Yeah, the thing that I find disappointing is that there is a lot of science value locked into the different systems of describing a workflow, pipeline or DAG. Like you said, they all had different itches to scratch and even some barebones "standards" like csv have flavors/extensions/etc.

@cart, what’s your primary motivation for developing a game engine? Do you eventually want to transition into building games and spend less time on the engine? Or is the engine itself the end goal?

You asked what emotion do poems generate (I assume you mean LLMs that generate poems and not poems themselves) and my answer is "wonder: A feeling of surprise, mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable."

It's quite common feeling that arises when people interact with these things. That skeptical-of-AI folks have decided to pathologize the behavior doesn't make it pathological.

The entire argument shifts if you think back to the spirit of say, file-sharing in a college dorm in the late 90s.

Is your router just blasting packets out at full speed or does it have a limit set a little below the max. This makes a huge difference in latency.
I imagine there would be perhaps tech or technique which you can choose to determine which memories to compress and countless of others techniques like extra storage that you can instantly access, so I don't see all of these as being real arguments why not become immortal. If I have to choose to be dead and memoryless compared to losing some of my memories, but being still alive, why should I choose being dead and memoryless?

And when losing memories you would first just discard some details, like you lose now anyway, but you would start compressing centuries into rough ideas of what happened, it's just the details that would lack a bit.

I don't see it being a problem at all. And if really something happens with the Universe, sure I can die then, but why would I want to die before?

I want to know what happens, what gets discovered, what happens with humanity, how far do we reach in terms of understanding of what is going on in this place. Why are we here. Imagine dying and not even knowing why you were here.

I'll never understand this attitude. Are some people contributing to open source principally for a kind of quid-pro-quo? I think it's nice when people contribute back, but it's certainly not a motivation for me to open source stuff - other than to set an example. People can do what they want with the software, that's the whole point.

Full disclosure, I'm a shitty open source contributor, but I have some projects on github that I know others have gotten use from, and that makes me happy, not concerned someone is "freeloading".

This is PRECISELY the type of thing that should be discussed in anonymous public forums, with the consent of the person and with neutral questions not for the sake of shaming the person who’s talking.

Growth of issues in society should not be relegated to whispers in back rooms, the way baby boomers do it. That’s how you hamper scientific progress for psychology. How can people investigate an issue if it’s hidden from view? Bringing light to issues for society allows them to be solved as people understand it better.

Shame on you for perpetuating toxic behavior that shames people for looking for insight into our world.

> As a result, we believe commercial open source models need to evolve for the ecosystem to continue providing open, freely available software.

To imply that a non-open-source license like the BUSL is part of such an evolution of "open source" models (commercial or otherwise) betrays either severe confusion or a deliberate attempt to mislead.

Like, has anyone of any significance used a Hashicorp product to meaningfully compete with Hashicorp?
I am confused because a lowered vacancy rate does not necessarily imply lack of homes for housing as the rate is not 0% or even approaching that. Lower vacancy rate is also a by-product of historically lower interest rates.

If you scroll to the homelessness trends plot, the incidence of homelessness has decreased since 2007. Overall, I note that CA and NY seem to have especially egregious issues with homelessness, https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homeless...
OK, so it is basically/usually the a real data point closest to the mean location.

For something like population, where there are few gaps in data points, you would expect them to be basically the same because there is probably someone within a few miles of the mean.

This means that an extra person in Hawaii impact the "median center of population" more than an extra person in San Francisco because the mean is part of the calculation, opposed to just a stack ranking. Is this correct?

There was a manufacturer doing this a few years back when we did solar on our house and I looked deeply into this problem.

The issue they had was that they had two manufacturers with different guarantees — one for the water and one for the panels. Love the idea — works like a charm (I got my hands on their unit and tested it out — glorious), but when you’re deploying capital to prepuchase an offset to alternative expenses it needs the warranty or it’s foolish to do the deal.

Now there is another manufacturer (dualsun.com) claiming they own the global patents to the idea (don’t know how, they weren’t the first to commercialize it).

The issue is definitely the incompatibility of materials. The engineering required to make a plastic water system last 25-30 years is so much more expensive than what it takes to make a pv unit last that long, so it gets expensive.

Further, the warranty is dependent on the small volume manufacturer still being in business in 20 years to have any warranty claim at all, and with the turnover in solar a lot of homeowners aren’t willing to take that chance.

So you get a double edged disincentive. It’s expensive to buy, and the warranty uncertainty is high. It’s all the classic problems of something that needs a mass market success to get to scale, but needs that scale to deliver mass market success.

If someone could bond the warranty support or similar solution, it could take off.

I wanted to use it to heat a hot tub or a pool and that had added complexity as the chlorine degraded the system and it wasn't advised. Another twist. :)

Hopefully advances in materials and manufacturing will make it viable because it’s a GREAT idea and it WORKS! It definitely kept the panels cooler and it definitely heated water well.

Edit:

For those interested this is the product I know of… no affiliation with them though.

Coming from my perspective of having a basic understanding of major/minor scales and being able to name the notes on a piano keyboard, here’s what worked for me:

I chose a free DAW and limited myself to the built-in instruments, then I tried to recreate a song I liked from memory.

My memory and skill was bad enough that the result was nearly 100% different, but sounded good enough to me.

I just started with some percussion, then added a bass line, then added some melody on top, and finally played around with arranging it.

It took a lot of time, but was pretty fun. I hope to go back and learn how to make the song sound good outside of headphones someday!
I've been getting ads on social media to buy silencers on Temu. Ok not silencers, but adapters where one end has the female thread of a soda bottle on it, and the other has the female thread to match the external thread available on a Ruger 10/22. While silencers are federally legal in the U.S., they are illegal in many states and subject to a federal transfer tax. I could see this being a problem for Temu, and I could also see this never being any kind of problem for Temu.

There may be settled case law that says these aren't silencers legally, idk. The whole discipline is hilariously talmudic and full of the heap problem (is a billet of metal a gun? What about with one hole in it? Two holes and a chamfer here and a routed channel there? etc.)

> homeless people I've seen

There's the confirmation bias right there. You aren't "seeing" the people who are homeless but don't have other issues going on, because they can take more care of themselves and so look "normal".
You might be right, but I was more curious about what a technically accurate reading of the statement would mean.

EndeavourOS sway edition (community) [1] has been a pretty great start for preconfigured wayland+sway+waybar and various integration. I added some more stuff to my ~/.config in my own repo [2], but it was a good place to start, and EndeavourOS is basically just rolling Arch Linux with some extra niceties. The included EnvyControl [3] switcher between nvidia to integrated is nice (yea you do have to reboot tho to switch), so I have used the regular i3 config with Xorg for playing some games (nvidia hardware graphics), but use sway for my day to day use (integrated graphics on wayland).

This is needlessly dramatic and negative.

The electric grid is what it is today because several problems can only be addressed at scale. There is no way that individuals will accept all the reliability, maintenance and risk that comes with running their own electrical infrastructure. More importantly, location is a very important metric here.

I always feel that comments on solar or renewable energy on this site come from a California-centric perspective. In almost all regions of the planet, power generation at scale provides security, resilience, stability, reliability and other metrics that are always superior to smaller, individual power generation sources.

WhatWG is more like documentation of what browsers are currently doing, rather than a standard
Aside from the POSIX toolchain/kernel/etc and browser (which I'd use if it neatly embedded into vim), vim and its siblings are together the most used program on my machine.

It's only today that I am forced to think about this: One person drove that program from an idea in their head to a high-quality, hackable program that I've fallen in love with over the years! A program that I have used for so many hours, but has never crashed once (neovim does crash, but vim has never done this for me.) This is an impressive feat given the sheer volume of vim plugins and configurations I've gone through!

Thank you Bram! You built an amazing program and the community around it!
