I don't have access to GPT 4 but I'd be interested to see how it does on a question like this:

"Say I have a container with 50 red balls and 50 blue balls, and every time I draw a blue ball from the container, I add two white balls back. After drawing 100 balls, how many of each different color ball are left in the container? Explain why."

... because on GPT 3.5 the answer begins like the below and then gets worse:

"Let's break down the process step by step:

Initially, you have 50 red balls and 50 blue balls in the container.

1) When you draw a blue ball from the container, you remove one blue ball, and you add two white balls back. So, after drawing a blue ball, you have 49 blue balls (due to removal) and you add 2 white balls, making it a total of 52 white balls (due to addition) ..."

Because it's a lot easier and cheaper to manufacture large LCD panels at scale than E-ink film.

I don't know any company or shareholders that would say no to making more money so if this would actually be true then it would, but that's not the reality.

The FUD that large e-ink displays are expensive because of some patent conspiracy needs to stop.

Large e-ink screens are expensive because manufacturing yields are very low and so are sales volumes.

Additional issue I see there is the customers are being ripped off. $1500 for a device that can only do specific programming sets and depends on remote access? I think they are taking people to the bank on cheap devices. This seems like something that could be done on a $100 general purpose OBD device.

On newer vehicles I would expect it to be possible to upgrade the infotainment system to have all this built in to change on demand. Fuel efficiency mode. Smog inspection mode shout-out to VW. Whistlin Diesel Mode For rollin coal and melting tires. All of this should be an open source USB image file that also strips out any remote telemetry and remote control capabilities from the vehicle and unlocks all subscription services giving ownership back to the owner.
If I may, I'll repeat a comment I made a few days ago:

Give me an implementation I can self-host, without Google, Apple, etc. having effective control (including claws in my relevant software supply chain) and with an easy user experience, where I can maintain secure backups (on my own infrastructure, thank you) and smooth transition to future devices, and ideally, if needed, securely export root keys (cause if I don't control them then someone else owns them), and maybe I'll be interested.

In the meantime plain old high-entropy passwords with a good manager gives me all those features and a simplicity that's hard to beat.

In my 30+ years of computing I've suffered more harm from failures of other companies than I have from any failure of my own diligence. The whole lesson learned is to reduce trust in them and, maybe I'm wrong, but everything I've read about passkeys and the like seems to put me at liberty of the companies developing and pushing the implementations of them down my throat. It will take a lot of trust before I give up my ability to copy/paste my credentials.

I remember watching a documentary about an old blues guitar player from the 1920's. They were trying to learn more about him and track down his whereabouts during certain periods of his life.

At one point, they showed some old footage which featured a montage of daily life in a small Mississippi town. You'd see people shopping for groceries, going on walks, etc. Some would stop and wave at the camera.

In the documentary, they noted that this footage exists because at the time, they'd show it on screen during intermission at movie theaters. Film was still in its infancy in that time, and was so novel that people loved seeing themselves and other people on the big screen. It was an interesting use of a new technology, and today it's easy to understand why it died out. Of course, it likely wasn't obvious at the time.

I say all that because I don't think we can know at this point what AI is capable of, and how we want to use it, but we should expect to see lots of failure while we figure it out. Over the next decade there's undoubtedly going to be countless ventures similar to the "show the townspeople on the movie screen" idea, blinded by the novelty of technological change. But failed ventures have no relevance to the overall impact or worth of the technology itself.
It does strongly imply it. HTTP2 is needed for more than just the bloatware of the modern internet.
I've read (probably on prior HN discussions about this?) that the manufacturing process still has major yield issues— when you're making small displays, you can slice around the bad pixels and not have to waste as much, but making a large display requires a huge sheet to all be perfect.

Then again, if that was really it, surely there'd be a market for people who want a 42" e-ink display and are willing to accept some proportion of bad pixels in exchange for a deep discount. Which really shouldn't matter much, particularly for applications where distance-viewing is the expectation.

> if the training data does not contain a set of generalizable text applicable to a particular domain, a language model is unlikely to make a correct inference when confronted with a novel version of a similar situation.

True. But look at the Phi-1.5 model - it punches 5x above its weight limit. The trick is in the dataset:

> Our training data for phi-1.5 is a combination of phi-1’s training data (7B tokens) and newly created synthetic, “textbook-like” data (roughly 20B tokens) for the purpose of teaching common sense reasoning and general knowledge of the world (science, daily activities, theory of mind, etc.). We carefully selected 20K topics to seed the generation of this new synthetic data. In our generation prompts, we use samples from web datasets for diversity. We point out that the only non-synthetic part in our training data for phi-1.5 consists of the 6B tokens of filtered code dataset used in phi-1’s training (see [GZA+ 23]).

> We remark that the experience gained in the process of creating the training data for both phi-1 and phi-1.5 leads us to the conclusion that the creation of a robust and comprehensive dataset demands more than raw computational power: It requires intricate iterations, strategic topic selection, and a deep understanding of knowledge gaps to ensure quality and diversity of the data. We speculate that the creation of synthetic datasets will become, in the near future, an important technical skill and a central topic of research in AI.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.05463.pdf

Synthetic data has its advantages - less bias, more diverse, scalable, higher average quality. But more importantly, it can cover all the permutations and combinations of skills, concepts, situations. That's why a small model just 1.5B like Phi was able to work like a 7B model. Usually at that scale they are not coherent.

Great question!

The big one that existing columnar databases can’t do (or not well), is the ability to search and aggregate on user defined dimensions (think prometheus-style labels). Influx 3.0 is the only other columnar database that is (now) available that was engineered specifically to be able to do this. The good folks at honeycomb came to the same conclusion that this type of columnar database (wide column) is necessary to build Observability with exceptional user experience. Plus we now own our future and can do any kind of optimization while other companies (and I’ve spoken to them) constantly fear ClickHouse relicensing or otherwise destroying their business.

I mean to say that the statement is anti-governmental-regulation in its expression.

Clearly, there is a legal concept of 'felony contempt of business model', as I did not coin that phrase myself.
You can do it a few times, but you can't do it 500 times. For HTTP/3, the highest permitted stream ID is an explicit state variable communicated by the server to the client, eventually forcing a round-trip. That's different from HTTP/2 where the client is entitled to assume that new "stream id window space" (for the lack of a better term) opens up immediately after a stream is closed.

(I'm fudging things a bit. You can probably build attacks that look kind of similar, but we don't think you you could build anything that is actually scalable. But we could be wrong about that! Hence the recommendation to apply similar mitigations to HTTP/3 as well, even if it isn't immediately vulnerable.)

I use GitHub everyday, and problems, or what I miss from the mozilla stuff are:

- git is not as modern as mercurial (no absorb, no evolve, no nice ncurse gui, weird explicit branching model). I've been using both daily for more than ten years, but mercurial is largely superior in every respect

- no way to properly do patch stacks and proper reviews, with static analysis and linting integrated into the review tool, no way to lose comments by force push or that kind of thing (phabricator is amazing)

- no way to properly do private issues for security bugs or touchy audits that could reveal large problems

- no hierarchical categories for issues, no severity, priority, little provision for advanced filtering for a project our size. Bugzilla is very nice and much better than anything else I've tried. You can use tags for a lot of that on gh but it's messy
- code browsing is primitive compared to https://searchfox.org/ (but most code browsing tool are, in comparison)

- my notifications are completely flooded by lots of useless information on GitHub, but that might be fixable

- our CI system (treeherder/taskcluster) scales, works on Linux/Mac/windows/Android and a bunch of version and arch, integrated with all of the other tools mentioned. Things such as auto-running tests based on the content of the patch, automatic categorization and prioritization of intermittent test failures, or auto-recording test failures and offering a pernosco recording showing the issue are just some of the features that we use daily without even thinking

There's probably a lot of other stuff that is better, but that's a nice start. If GitHub had a real patch stack management story, a real issue tracker and a real review tool it would go a long way, but that's not the case.

Sorry for the confusion. Stepping back to my initial reply, you asked:

> That's a very generic conclusion, is it related to this article somehow?

And I intended to answer the question with how their statement is related to the article by pointing out that this statement is written at the start of the article:

> New research from piracy tracking firm MUSO shows that movie piracy is strongly linked to box office revenues. When pirated downloads peak or slow down, movie theater visits show a similar trend. While this may sound counterintuitive, the finding is actually quite obvious. Correlation is not causation and pirates are people too.

I didn't understand your point when you responded by saying:

> Thanks I read the article. From the study:

>> Thus there is a very strong, statistically significant, positive correlation between Box Office revenue and unlicensed consumption

What is the significance of the statement you quoted as a reply to mine? That's what I don't follow.
