Most of the products announced (and the price cuts) appear to be more about increasing lock-in to the OpenAI API platform, which is not surprising given increased competition in the space. The GPTs/GPT Agents and Assistants demos in particular showed that they are a black box within a black box within a black box that you can't port anywhere else.

I'm mixed on the presentation and will need to read the fine print on the API docs on all of these things, which have been updated just now: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference

The pricing page has now updated as well: https://openai.com/pricing

Notably, the DALL-E 3 API is $0.04 per image which is an order of magnitude above everyone else in the space.

EDIT: One interesting observation with the new OpenAI pricing structure not mentioned during the keynote: finetuned ChatGPT 3.5 is now 3x of the cost of the base ChatGPT 3.5, down from 8x the cost. That makes finetuning a more compelling option.
The 128k context window GPT-4 Turbo model looks unreal. Seems like Anthropic's day of reckoning is here?
As with all modern tech support: complain loudly on Twitter/X and hope the issue gets enough traction that somebody notices.
Why should 50GB be stored in multiple files?
128,000 token context, Assistants API, JSON mode, April 2023 knowledge cutoff, GPT 4 Turbo, lower pricing, custom GPTs, a good bunch of announcements all-round!

That map/travel demo was insane. Trying to find the demo again.
The IT worlds is basically integration and / or very niche custom software development.

There are plenty of countries around the world, special use cases, etc. and enough work for the normal it world to go around.

For my startup, im pretty sure the finetuning is a huge win even if we 'just use' openai because openai doesn't have the information we have and i'm pretty sure they also don't care for our niche (right now, and AGI in 20 years, i will probably no longer be needed one way or the other ;P)
The trick to using `rerere` with `rebase` is to merge first, resolve the conflict, record the resolution, then go back and do the rebase. It's explained here:

https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rerere

It's often easier to resolve a conflict during a merge than during a rebase because it presents you with left, right, and the common ancestor. You're also only looking at the tips of each branch. With rebasing, you're replaying each commit one on top of the next so you lose the common ancestor information and you may also have conflicts that won't exist at the end.

Another tip: if the other branch has changed a lot since you last rebased, even a single merge may have a lot more conflicts than you want to deal with all at once. In this case, consider a series of intermediate merges since you're going to throw them all away anyway.
If you want the latest dependencies, you don't have a stable system: it shifts with the versions of your dependencies. In Debian, you would use an unstable/sid chroot with the new versions (see debootstrap).
Do you see a way around prompt injection? It feels like any feature they release is going to be susceptible to it.

How is this possible, while sharing code? Doesn't this require that pushed code is perfect? What about everyone else working on the same code? Do they wait until you've reached perfection? Or, do you squash the branch once it's complete, with the assumption that there's no other development on/from that temporary branch (I envy you if so)?

(I ask these questions fully assuming I'm doing it wrong.)

Sometimes, we have to re-evaluate our positions. We cannot risk supplying our enemies with stuff they can turn around and use as weapons against ourselves any more. The sooner broader society wakes up and realizes that we, as collective Western nations, are at war, the better. It may not be a "conventional" war yet, but that doesn't make it less dangerous!

the O(1) random access doesn't look like advantage at all, honestly.

if I load my parquet into memory - I will have O(1) random access to any row just as well.

plus, considering that Arrow recommends to work in chunks of 1000 rows per file, I am curious to learn exact tasks for which Arrow is optimizing for.

the only use case I can think of is transferring data between systems written in different languages/runtimes and doing zero serialization/deserialization, just send/receive memory buffers that are nicely mapped to dataframes.
It's a list of things young people are dissatisfied with. They're dissatisfied with work and don't believe they can get ahead by working harder. They're dissatisfy with app dating and don't believe they can find lasting happiness with it. These are not conservative concerns; they're anybody concerns.

> Having [an] entire grab bag of [concerns] listed like this is undeniably conservative.

Ridiculous. Anybody who has multiple concerns in their life will have a list of concerns. Articulating this isn't a conservative trait, it's just basic self reflection. If you don't have a list of concerns with your own life then you're obviously doing very well. But just because you can't relate to people who's lives aren't as great as yours doesn't mean those people are conservative.

(You see I swapped out "the" with "an". Because that list is not The entire grab bag of characteristically conservative concerns. There's no mention of immigration, guns, abortion, voter IDs, crime rates, fear of carbon taxes and corporate regulations, drag-queen story hours, critical theory and progressive school teaches or really anything like any of that. It's clearly not "The" list of conservative concerns. You're characterizing it that way because that's what you want to see for some reason. Maybe you tripped over the mention of religion, but if you put stereotypes aside and look at public opinion polling, you will find that religion in America is largely bipartisan. Even the denominations that lean strongly one way still have millions of adherents who lean the other, e.g. 28% of evangelical protestants who lean Democrat. 55% of American Democrats report that their belief in God is absolutely certain and an additional 21% say their belief is fairly certain.)

Under hard braking conditions? Yeah. Especially since we have quite a lot of snow and ice here every year, you do sorta get used to the ABS feel and crunching sound.

Nice. So it's just a new checkpoint for the large model, no other changes? Should be easy to integrate, though it would be nice to have updates for the smaller models too.

git --force needs to just be an alias of force-with-lease by default. having the default be the unsafer option seems... backwards. It should be something more like:

git --force (acts like git --force-with-lease does now)
git --force-anyway (acts like --force does now, "anyway" is just an example and should be harder/longer than -f/--force)

I understand that force-with-lease didn't exist first but this needs to be rectified.
Here is the opinion from the author, unfortunately it only has Chinese version but here is the relevant part translated using deepl:

> And if you insist on sending packets, even though the other traffic does not give way, since your packets are taken more proportion of the traffic, they would more likely to be selected. Whether it's "ethical" to "grab" bandwidth in this way is a subjective question, but the objective root cause is the urgent need to expand the operator's equipment with insufficient bandwidth. Operators should not expect users to be "sympathetic" to the lack of backbone capacity - the operator has contracted a rate with the user and the user is not cracking that limit, just using the bandwidth that the operator has committed to them, which is reasonable behavior.

Personally I don't think it is a good idea, but I was in that situation during my high school, and it was terrible. I get the idea why this project would exist sooner or later and just trying to present some context for discussion.

During the height of anxiety of the COVID pandemic, I did some training in ICU because a key part of my job is ventilators/ventilating people, and they were worried there wouldn't be enough people in ICU with the skills for an influx of ventilator-dependent patients. At that time, I had to care for a brain-dead patient. It was a super interesting experience. There were two separate intensivists who had to carry out the same assessment independently to conclude that the patient was indeed brain dead. Interestingly, there was one test they carried out in which the patient still flinched, but they both still determined that the patient was brain dead. The most interesting part of the test is when they turn off the ventilator for a long time and then take a blood test. I did a blood gas analysis that showed the patient had blood CO2 (PaCO2) of over 70 mm Hg. Usually, a CO2 level this high would trigger inhalation, but it didn't. So he was declared officially brain dead, and a few hours later, he was taken to the theatre for an organ harvest.
> Another interesting thing to note here is the performance of fib_fast and fib_closed_form algorithms. Both of these algorithms essentially compute the nth power of an expression and therefore their complexities in terms of n are same. However, the golden ratio based algorithm is computing the nth power of a scalar value which can be done much faster than computing the nth power of a 2X2 matrix, thus the difference in their actual run-time performance.

Computing powers of the golden ratio should not be done as scalars, since as other posters noted that requires a lot of precision and makes for a messy computation. It's more simply done on two dimensional numbers of the form a + sqr(5)*b with a and b integers, analogous to complex numbers. Then the computational effort can be seen to equal that of the matrix powers.
Did they mention anything about Azure OpenAI? The OpenAI pricing page already changed, Azure did not.

As I understand it, the donation is not the price of legislation, it's the price to get your foot in the door for additional lobbying efforts later.

Even Apple said that steering customers to other payment methods is a way to avoid app store fees:

> To give developers even more flexibility to reach their customers, Apple is also clarifying that developers can use communications, such as email, to share information about payment methods outside of their iOS app. As always, developers will not pay Apple a commission on any purchases taking place outside of their app or the App Store. Users must consent to the communication and have the right to opt out.

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/08/apple-us-developers-a...

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but didn't this ruling give developers the option of "steering" directly from the app instead of via email, and thereby circumvent app store fees?
they just announced custom models for enterprise
I'm not sure, short of quoting the entire article you just linked, how to convince you how badly Epic lost that argument. Epic lost nine counts and winning the tenth count forced Apple to do something they were already doing, except slightly faster. Apple had already lost Cameron v.

This is just so right. Very eloquently put.

People just want to believe that humans are far more exceptional than we really are. These theories rest on the assumption that this 'elite' can predict the future. That there is no randomness in the world. That they are so smart and capable that they can just manipulate everyone. The truth is -- the individuals which make up the elite are just as clueless as everyone else. Furthermore, majority of them behave with good intentions. It is no surprise that no one really knows who represents the "elite". Once you dig deeper into the personality of each individual, you realise that they are just normal people. Often very selfish, but not much different from average Joe.

The problems that we see and blame the elite, god, what ever for, are due to systems we have created. Institutions, culture, feedback loops; everything that exists when large groups of individuals exist together.
Whisper V3 is released! https://github.com/openai/whisper/commit/c5d42560760a05584c1...

Looks like it's just a new checkpoint for the large model. It would be nice to have updates for the smaller models too. But it'll be easy to integrate with anything using Whisper V2. I'm excited to add it to my local voice AI (https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NC624PBFGB7)

I assume ChatGPT voice has been using Whisper V3 and I've noticed that it still has the classic Whisper hallucinations ("Thank you for watching!"), so I guess it's an incremental improvement but not revolutionary.
I personally consider it more dangerous as this less attention required breeds complacency which may inevitably result in me not being able to intervene when the it makes a mistake.

This was really spot on. The 128k context made me think it was fake.
"Given how many chips are available today on the market, what are hobby-level FPGA designs that truly take advantage of custom logic in a way that a microcontroller and/or microprocessor (or other common parts) cannot replicate?"

Any boolean-logic heavy workload such as password cracking or SHA256-mining (Bitcoin) is perfectly suited for FPGA platforms and will outperform any microprocessor or GPU in terms of performance per watt. For example in the early days of Bitcoin, FPGAs such as the Xilinx XC6SLX150 ruled mining, and many such implementations were developed by hobbyists.
And here I was in bliss with the 32k context increase 3 days ago. 128k context? Absolutely insane. It feels like now the bottle neck in GPT workflows is no longer GPT, but instead its the wallet!

> Do you trade with the enemy? That's a traitor's domain. Or they're rather competitors you are not happy with and scared that they beat you at the game?

Both can be true at the same time, e.g. Europe buying gas and oil from Russia. Realpolitik is often very messy to navigate, not made easier by the fact that we have collectively decided to tie our fates to Russia (for cheap energy) and China (for cheap production) and that decision is coming back home with a vengeance.

If you are looking for traitors, start with those who thought "change by trade" in the 90s/early 00s was a good idea - and check their paychecks. At least here in Germany, we know that disgraced former Chancellor Schröder is a Russian asset (literally, he got a high-paid job for Rosneft, most likely as a thank-you for pushing through Nord Stream), unfortunately he was clever enough to never implicate himself in a criminally chargeable manner.
The playbook OpenAI is following is similar to AWS. Start with the primitives (Text generation, Image generation, etc / EC2, S3, RDS, etc) and build value add services on top of it (Assistants API / all other AWS services). They're miles ahead of AWS and other competitors in this regard.

Stallman’s point (which I largely think is a cop out, fwiw) is that the goal should be that the software remains free, and that making small compromises to further that goal is ok. Repositioning your software to be nominally free but actually picking a license that maximizes the chance that people pay you for a proprietary version goes against this spirit, because it’s clear that you don’t actually have software freedom as your priority.
RISC-V is much more of a threat to ARM microcontroller vendors (STMicro, NXP, Atmel et. al.) than it is to Intel. There is almost zero overlap in products/markets between RISC-V and x86. Even as you go up the stack, vendors like ARM International would care first (as it impacts mobile SOC licenses). Frankly even Apple probably cares more than Intel does.

If all you know is Germany then a lot of very strange behaviour will be normal to you.

The technique for "Make a textarea auto-expand" is obsoleted by a new CSS property("form-sizing"):

Even without using this new CSS property, the technique that is used (adjusting the "height" of the element) is not ideal and can be glitchy.

A better approach is to use a mirror hidden element:
