My issue with updates/downloading is the lack of software manager to updates software in Windows. It was a pain to go to various websites to download a package and install/upgrade a updated version. Back then when I have Win 98SE, I relied on FileHippo to scan and provide information if there are updates for my installed software. In XP and Win7, I only update software that have issue or something that I need to check. It was nice for some software that come with their own updater. I was thinking about my experienxe with Ubuntu (Ibex version) with their apt-get and the package manager. To my surprise, there are package managers for Windows, Chocolatey and Scoop. This was before Windows Store come to fruitation. Chocolatey is my main package manager for my Windows and I had been using it ever since. This allows me to have a peace of mind for me to updates my software particularly command line tools, Chocolatey made it easy for me and automate the environment variables for me if the software needs it. And no more for me to open up Google and search for the name of the software, `choco search <app_name>` and it will give me a list of the software and I just install from there. I use `choco upgrade all -y` and it just handles it without needing my input further.

Embeddings are still important (context windows can't contain all data + memorization and continuous retraining is not yet viable), and vertical AI agent startups can still lead on UX.

I don’t understand why more people aren’t creating digital doubles of their brain..? You train your own LLM for practically free and have your own digital double to maximize any and all productivity. Why is there not more of this?
Would be somewhat humorous to plug OpenAI into ad platforms, give it budget, and say "go market yourself as effectively as possible."
I got access to Claude 2 - it’s really good and have been chatting with their sales team. Seems they were reasonably responsive- but overall with OpenAI 128k context and price anthropic has no edge
AGPL is a more free license than BSL, which is the most likely alternative for a company like Element.
It is also in that sour spot where it is completely closed, which might be fine (GPT-4, Claude 2) if it was much better than the open-source models, but that does not seem to be cut-and-dry: https://huggingface.co/openchat/openchat_3.5#comparison-with...
Intel employees have been contributing RISC-V patches to GCC for quite some time, and continue to do so. Here's one from today: https://inbox.sourceware.org/gcc-patches/20231106141623.3076...

Intel is also a member of RISC-V International: https://riscv.org/members/

I get that Intel is a very big company, but that kind of disconnect would be rather extreme.
OP is incorrect. Embeddings are still needed since (1) context windows can't contain all data and (2) data memorization and continuous retraining is not yet viable.
It's the same with users as well, the keyboard of my iPhone's wife is freezing randomly during 3s but she still puts up with it and will not say a word against it.

I gave up on mine personally after the app installs were impossible due to some modal error in loops.

I'm not sure how they managed to do it but they are very strong on the marketing side, I'll admit that.

Some programmers are hell-bent on removing features, particularly those in the graphical world.

Take firefox for example, one of my favorites to rag on. Many will tout how quick it has become to which I say "So what? I don't allow any javascript". Or maybe touting new image and video formats. I will just point at libavformat and libavcodec. What they have done is removed xul, removed scrollbars, removed rss, removed the text encoding menu, removed unsigned extensions, and every year there is some new vision about how the ui must look.

I am apprehensive of the coming KDE version 6. I can't imagine how people must suffer on autoupdating systems whether that is linux, mac, windows, or some godforsaken mobile device.

> can’t seem to free up enough space

Technical issues are completely understandable. I am lead to believe most devices are tiny and will hide your files from you nor do they easily support external storage. Therefore I am not at all surprised people can't remedy this.

> unsent messages

If you sent it then it was sent. Relying on remote software to delete it is insane. I see all the times people edit a message from matrix. To be honest I see it as a feature and apparently one that would be removed if updated.

So I checked the paper linked. I thought it dealt with questions about face masks, quarantines, and such, but instead there were some silly things like "coronaviruses can spread more quickly through electromagnetic fields".

Nevertheless, to my limited understanding, I think this is questionable because it tends to indicate an absolute answer instead of a probability:

"Coronaviruses can be deadly at any age."

I think this also turned out to be false according to the latest in media, if I recall correctly:

"Coronavirus can be prevented through vaccination."

Someone also linked a paper on these "stimulant substances", but I have no idea about that.

And as said, you have to reflect all this during the uncertainty in the middle of the pandemic in 2021.

No, I meant 68000 - what I'm trying to say is that while the 68000 is a significantly more elegant microarchitecture, had more functionality - and it did get to better performance faster, its not really any better in performance when judged on a clock for clock basis to the 8086.
That's actually only partially true; there's quite a bit of work that attempts to capture this idea, particularly in taxa that have relatively well-understood adaptive dynamics. Here's a good general example: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.201...

You are correct that much of these dynamics aren't captured in long-time-scale climate models, though. But it's being modeled quite frequently in different contexts, especially ecological ones.

Most people still want hot water in the summer, so some of the surplus heat can be used for that.

The thing to keep in mind is that solar panels are cheap, so it’s not that big a deal if some of the energy collected from them is lost as heat during the summer. What really matters for the viability of this system is the cost of the fuel cell and hydrogen storage medium.

That's much more than big enough. 1mm diameter was the overkill number, and 3mm diameter is nine times as big while you only need two of them. Even accounting for insulation and the smaller data wires, that's plenty.
depends on how much developers are willing to embrace the risk of building everything on OpenAI and getting locked onto their platform.

What's stopping OpenAI from cranking up the inference pricing once they choke out the competition? That combined with the expanded context length makes it seem like they are trying to lead developers towards just throwing everything into context without much thought, which could be painful down the road

Googles: Custom versions of Google.

Anyone can easily build their own Google. No coding is required. You can make them for yourself, just for your company’s internal use, or for everyone. Creating one is as easy as starting a conversation, giving it instructions and extra knowledge, and picking what it can do, like searching the web, making images or analyzing data.

For my money, the thing that stops me from dailying a Mac again is the amount of trust Apple demands from you nowadays. Older Macs are really cozy, even up through Yosemite in my opinion. After a certain point though, you could feel the focus shift from onboard utility to metered service. iTunes became Apple Music, the black "AppleTV" logo popped up on my dock, and iCloud pitched a tent in my Settings menu to beg for change. None of this really appeals to me; it's engineered to make the common user happy for a nominal fee, but to everyone else it's just annoying. Little UX warts like that popped up all over MacOS, and it really started to evoke those "Windows 8 Armageddon" vibes I felt a while back.

For Apple to correct course, they should ditch the ads and focus on superpowering MacOS and iOS. Right now it's hard for me to trust that Apple is giving me the best of all worlds.

What other LLM will compete with GPT-4 Turbo (+ V)? At most you're hedging that Anthropic releases a "Claude 2 Turbo (+ V)": is complicating your setup to such a ridiculous degree vs "zero effort" worth it for that?

If things change down the line the fact you invested 5 minutes into writing a prompt isn't going to be such a huge loss anyways, absolutely no reason to roll your own on this.

> what makes you so sure OpenAI will allow you to make money at all?

They might not. But if they do, I'd imagine there are a lot of people who will try. And as long as you're not dependent on the income stream they provide, you don't have much to worry about if it gets shut off.
they mentioned revenue sharing in the keynote, and I'm eager to find out how that is going to work. There isn't much money in the $20/month subscription to go around to very many other developers
You can, but unsafe code is discouraged in general, even given a slight performance cost.

For performance-insensitive, security-critical code, there really shouldn't be any such code in the entire program—and it would be easy to verify that with a presubmit.
Yes, if there's a stack trace attached. That is kind of cool though — they also bucket them by OS release so you can see quickly when a bug first appeared (or, well, a similar stack trace appeared anyway). Also they rank them on frequency so it is easy to find your component's "Top Crasher".
The comparison with the closed form is weird to me: since it uses sqrt(5), I suppose the author intended to use floating point numbers to compute it. But when doing so:

- You get a constant time algorithm, since the power function is constant time on most mathematical librarie. Without entering into details on how the pow function is actually computed, on real number you can compute it with: pow(x,y) = exp(y * log(x)). It is not visible on the performance graph probably because the matrix-based algo and the closed formula are dwarfed by the linear time algo.

- You gen an incorrect result very quickly: not even considering the fact that sqrt(5) can not be represented exactly by a floating point number, the result will be out of the range of floating point numbers with n proportional to the number of bits your floating point number holds, so probably between n=50 and n=100.

If you are not sleeping at night over this get a hold of yourself. This is not your war and you have no control over it. Unless you have some power to free the hostages and turn Gaza supports against hamas I think you need to step back and focus on your product/customer.
Unfortunately, "guidelines" can also be weaponized as something that's optional, something subject to exceptions, leading to so many exceptions that the guidelines themselves are forgotten, and eventually outright ignored.

Nevertheless, this is the term I've been using lately, mostly with a statement of guideline followed by its benefits or reasoning behind it. It is gentler and inoffensive to those who have tender sensibilities, thus enabling a productive embracement of the guidelines, a useful critic on them or an eventually better guideline, instead of inflamed egos inciting flamewars.

Don’t bring TypeScript into this. It is very possible to write sub 100ms procedures in TS, but an inelegant algorithm will be slow in any language, eventually.
It looks like the people the author complains about are pretty intolerant, and they promote hate speech by calling the people they disagree with Nazis. So following the paradox of tolerance, they are the ones who should be banned, right?
What is your job? Chances are, it’s nothing an AGI (based on LLMs) can’t do, and an AGI is possible, today. People are building these things today, check out GitHub. And if you don’t believe GPT-4 cannot do your job cheaper than you, just wait for GPT-N, which will be able to.
We actually have a slider bar in the quick menu drop down. Also Night Light which removes blue light (also in the drop down). These can also be programmed to go on/off at set times (bedtime mode).

Years ago I became acquainted with a company that was entirely research driven, so had the same question as you - how the heck do they actually make money? I came to the following conclusions:

-- Have a founder / CEO / lead type who is well-connected and can play the part of "mad scientist." For this company, it was a guy with a phd in something data related who was very good at storytelling.

-- Find customers who can benefit from your research. In this company's case, it was government (which can take a lot of forms - cities, school districts, etc), non-profits, university researchers... from what I could tell, they were good about letting someone else find the grant dollars and they would provide the research. Over time they were able to take their reputation from those projects and then start selling the same process to corporate America.

-- This company had very little technology or even secret sauce. Sure, they tried to make it look like they had some magic, but once you started peeling away layers, it was clear that they were mostly just doing a lot of data crunching that no one else quite had the desire or skills to do. They delivered a result rather than a lot of worry about how they got there. That same message likely applies today - lots of young companies focusing on some magic new algorithm, but paying customers generally care a lot more about a result that has value to them over the tech you used to get there.
Indirectly, e.g. by ensuring that you can't modify an array while iterating over it. That sort of thing.
Better that than do a silly rename ala X.
If you're mission-critical then your company has a bus factor of 1, so you probably should make sure that other people know how to fill in for you. Then you can take PTO and tell people to look at it as a training exercise just in case you do get hit by that bus (or, you know, quit because you're burned out).
It still requires a button to bring up the prompt. It would be a worse user experience to prompt the user without any warning. Compared to Google being able to do it all in the background.

Samsung store can do it as it's bundled with the Samsung phone and installed as a system application that gets the same permissions as Google Play Store. A user can't give these permissions to a user installed app store without turning it into a system application, which isn't possible without root. For example if I tried to install Samsung's store on my Pixel.

F-droid is able to do it if you have root: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension/

what is the value in manually processing knowledge bases like this (besides perhaps in an artisan fashion) if your knowledge interface such as chatgpt already knows it and surfaces it at will?
They still have that - it's just regular GPT-4. One immediate application about this one is that it makes it trivial to create a fine tuned version of GPT based on your data, where you can upload a series of documents that can basically act like a set of embeddings that augment the regular GPT trained data.
I think your startup just died

I’m pretty sure the answer is 80-90%. I’m also not an Elon fanboy nor have I ever owned Tesla. It just really woke me up seeing the entire internet flip against Elon so quickly and it having been so obviously inorganic.
