AGI is a big ask.

Revolutionizing how we interact w/ computers by allowing us to use plain human language to do things the requester does not understand how to do seems to have been demonstrated. See even the relatively simple agent demo where an architect used human language to have zapier take action based on meeting conflicts. imo this alone is a big deal.
There will soon be so many extra houses.
True, but the new model lets you replace the entire screen assembly without even removing the backplate IIRC. It won't be like damaging your Switch or Macbook's display.
> closing the books on consumer protections for a generation.

That sounds serious, and for a generation.

I have not understood the 'consumer protections' argument. If an ISP allows traffic requests from a residence, then what is the problem? I haven't noticed how I may have been harmed by not having NN.
It sucks compared to every other available word processor/spread sheet/email and online ‘office’ service I’ve used, except OpenOffice. Literally even office desktop.

Super buggy, loses data, and steps on things, tons of bizarre formatting issues and out of sync problems, and slow to boot.

The only reason it’s so popular is because it’s been the ingrained monopoly ‘you don’t get fired for’ choice.

Actually using it is terrible.
I think the argument is actually using it to make voice calls is a pretty small use. Which, even as an older person, I generally agree with.
Even here on HN, there's a strong bias towards shorter messages. Phones, perhaps due to on-screen keyboards, seem to encourage shorter messages than laptops and desktops.
Yeah I'm a huge fan of trunk based development. It's my preferred operating method for git.

I know a lot of people like git flow for its ability to create seperate envs that can be controlled and tested, however it always felt extremely unnecessary to me when building saas products. Changes should not be long lived in this space.

I can understand how git flow would be great when the product is an artifact like a docker image, binary, vm image etc... but for managed applications / saas stuff, it's not the best.
I have more than 200 games in my Steam library, I’m good, thank you.
It's the flip flopping of liberal investment in government and public services, followed by conservative slashing of those services, followed by a condemnation of government's ability to provide after having been slashed, followed by an open bidding war for private consultancies to take over the role of the slashed service at a supposedly lower cost (that overruns in the end anyway, just like the aforementioned government service did in the first place). Rinse and repeat as every generation of politician proposes the new thing (repackaged old thing) and can then pat themselves on the back about what a good job they did. The kickbacks must be nice too I suppose ;)

Speaking of dynamic pricing, there are a lot of people foaming at the mouth to get this to replace the fixed rate electric utility bill. There are pro/cons to both sides (i.e. efficiency versus safety and simplicity for the end customer). In this case, I don't mean dynamic pricing to mean paying a little more during peak hours, but being directly exposed to the wholesale prices.

It would certainly help get people to consume less during major events and many assume it to be a necessity to make a fully renewable grid work. On the other hand, I struggle with the relentless need to complicate daily life (e.g. being prodded to have an app for everything that doesn't need one).
Not at all. Would get my hands on some equity if I could.
> I am using this simple task to explore how LLM adaptation capabilities can be made performant for scalable extraction

Divide and conquer:

- look at the first 50 or so unhandled cases, and pick the most common pattern in them.

- find a way to handle that pattern with a smile parser (e.g. a JVM DateTimeFormatter, a regex, or whatever works decently in your preferred language)

- repeat

That probably will decrease that 10 million to a million, then to 100,000 fairly rapidly.

Once you’re down to a manageable number, get your LLM to handle those.

(Also: this task likely is easily run in parallel, so if you have money, you won’t need 10M+ seconds)
I see it as arbitrary barriers to immigration to satisfy those who don't want to see foreigners in the US. The fact it was corrupted to become a money-making business is just a natural result of any archaic laws in the US. It is rather the norm that lawyers and politicians make a dumb law to get attention, then later on they refuse to change it because it is profitable to keep it that way. If it wasn't profitable, they would change it to get political points already.
I don’t know enough about vulcanology to really make any informed comments on this. It sounds like we have a decently good idea of what’s going on with moderately early warning though, which is cool. Hopefully everyone gets out ok
> Fascism rejects assertions that violence is inherently negative or pointless, instead viewing imperialism, political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation.

Even though they have a long history of it, Europe still has a ways to go to get back there :P
I don't understand your questions. They are relevant for geometry, they aren't really relevant to anything else but they're axioms for geometry so being relevant for geometry is what you'd expect.

In that case you are right. I don't know what NuScale's economic argument was, and there's a (pretty good) chance that it will not work out.

But, imagine that whenever you want a new car, the car company sent a crew to your house and builds the car in your backyard. All the parts needed will be shipped to your address, and workbenches, tools, machinery, too. They put the car together, paint it, dry it, and voila, the car is yours. Would it surprise you if it was 10 times more expensive than if it came from an assembly line?

Likewise why did it build a "Antifaschistischer Schutzwall" ("Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart").
LLMs are a type of intelligence, and that is super useful.
Choosing to pay through Apple or not should be the consumer's decision, not Apple's. Especially when you're paying extra for it, which is how it is hurting consumers. The whole reason Apple removed Epic's Fortnite from the Apple App Store was an additional payment method that didn't use Apple's.

I'm sure legitimate developers would be fine using Apple's payment as long as they can pass those additional fees to the customer. YouTube does that now for example with higher rates on iOS. The issue is that apps aren't allowed to advertise that they can get it cheaper elsewhere. That's why some apps like Netflix and Kindle refuse to let you purchase on iOS at all, because it would artificially increases their prices with those additional fees.

If Apple have to compete with other payment processors, that's good for consumers too because it'll lower fees.

I don't think what the author says is the intent of the code. isNaN() returns true not just for NaN but for anything that is "not a number"[1]. For example, it returns true for things like "hello".

So it just canonicalizes everything that is not a number into NaN.

I am, personally... at least until it's all done on-device and functions offline. I have no trust with the siphoning of data we see at large

I suspect I'm fairly alone on this. They'll probably do well without me.

Most people that even know about it probably don't mind. I can't even verbalize why I do
I was thinking the same thing, as we got a 486 dx2 66 from gateway 2000, complete with a faulty quad speed cd writer, ms office and encarta. And of course… the cow box. But this was ordered over the telephone from adverts I kept up to date with in computer magazines and the moment the dx2 66 was the best price (the 100 was the silly price one) I got my parents to pull the trigger and buy it. Happy times circa 1993.
Even without AGI, there are lots of expensive to scale currently tasks like customer service that it could take over.
People shouldn't have to be harassed by companies constantly begging them to subsidize their labor expenses and customers shouldn't have to worry that they're getting bad service (or worse) in retaliation for hitting the "No Tip" button.

I'm sure as hell not tipping for counter service or for retail transactions, but they keep begging for it. As more and more people fall for the scam there's a risk that it will become expected and suddenly I'm the asshole for not paying more for nothing. Good luck explaining to someone making minimum wage that the person they should really be upset at is their employer who refuses to pay them a living wage.
That is a fair position. I was commenting on how "knowingly" works.
Maybe you genuinely have no use case for ChatGPT. Maybe you just haven't been creative enough to figure out how to use the tech as it currently is. Forget AGI. What it is capable of right now, for me, and countless others in countless fields of work, already saves more time per day than everything else combined. There's certainly nothing more important than my time. That's a pretty powerful product.

AI startup here ; with revenue, 15% month-on-month growth for an entire year.

Currently raising pre-seed. Have raised from family and friend (singular) a small amount.

So most everybody I'm talking to is basically new to the "how does startup investing work" conversation.

I had high hopes it would be easier and faster than the VC option... It's not really. It's taking forever.

Am considering whether the problem is that I'm not asking big enough... (Our ask is $30k to $150k, aiming to do a $300k round). My initial thought was, let's start with a F&F round and not go the VC route yet. (YC would be great though)

I'm now thinking, maybe we should raise a more traditional VC round with a much bigger ask.

It'll all work out, and it will be a great story for the documentary :)

I agree with your points but I think this is the beginning of something bigger
OpenAI, at least in my day-day workflow for the last 9+ months has so superseded anything that google ever was to me that I'm having a difficult time comparing the two.

I've got a monitor dedicated 100% of the time to ChatGPT, and I interact with it non stop during the flow of technical scenarios and troubleshooting situations that flow into me - working in areas that I have the slimmest of backgrounds in, and shutting down, root causing, and remediating issues that have been blocking others.

I've essentially got 15-20 high-priced world-class consultants in every field that I chose to pull from, working at my beck and call, for $20 a month? I would pay $200/month in a heartbeat out of my own pocket, and I probably would ask the company to pay ~$2,000/month for my workflow.

I think if they never released another product, and they just managed to penetrate with their existing offering, they are easily a $100B+ company once they nail down how to monetize.

The difference between LLMs and Crypto is I can point to roughly 200-300 objective solutions over the last 9 months where ChatGPT resolved an issue and delivered clear value for me alone. And, over time, as you learn how to control for hallucinations, and manage your query patterns a bit more - the value has continued to increase.

That same multiple-times-a-day high value persistent experiences were never a part of my crypto experience.
My take on it is that GPT is already a general purpose technology. It already can be used to solve ill defined coding problems that were not possible to solve a couple of years ago.

I feel that some people lack creativity to use it.

GPT is as good as the user is at posing good and well defined questions and tasks.

Its ability to perform few shot learning is astounding.
Yeah, that one really stood out to me, though leech eyeball guy has a great story for life.
That’s excusable if the product is made by over burdened open source volunteers. One Drive is generating revenue for Microsoft, yet they still cannot be bothered to shore up a product in the spotlight.

Some of the grievances are highly reported for years, but nobody seems to care.
I agree. For me, the biggest surprise in The Three Musketeers is how few muskets are involved, but the story itself is excellent.
I’ve thought the same in NY for a while. Any reasonably popular spot is now gates by an obnoxious reservation system like resy.

I have to check every Tuesday at midnight for the 5 minutes that the next weeks tables open up before they are booked. Then I have to put down a credit card. Next I get bombarded with push notifications and texts with increasing urgency leading up to dinner that I must show up on time or forfeit money. When I show up on time they don’t seat me but suggest I go wait at bar and buy drinks. Finally they seat me and remind me I only have the table 90 minutes.

You know what, just charge me for seats. Let’s just go completely nakedly economic because you’re already 90% there with extra steps in the way.

It is called the hospitality industry but you’d never know it given what the dining experience has turned into.

I think OpenAI's founding nature is about research so it will disappear when it either runs out of key problems to solve or funds, whichever comes first. I see its commercial efforts as driven primarily to maximize their research runway. Operating ChatGPT commercially also helps research into ML-related UX and operational related problems.

That said, I cannot rule out purely commercial ventures with tenacity necessary to compete spinning out of OpenAI.
In Ohio, by default a father has 0 custody of his children, even after paternity is established. Ohio has some of the most unequal and unfair child custody laws and Ohio House Bill 14 aims to bring the state into the 21st century (kicking and screaming).

In Ohio over 80% of the time the mother gets 100% custody after separation, this is grossly unlike most other states where 50/50 is the default and the most common outcome.

Please consider coming to the Ohio Statehouse Nov. 14 at 5pm to help support the passage of OH Bill 14. Thank you!
This seems a bit superficial, because it concentrates only how you communicate an instruction to people.

I suspect, especially in high competence and nominally high trust environments like (much of) tech, mostly when people consider a superior "bossy" it's not because of the way they communicate (though that could contribute) but because they do not trust the communication or the motivations behind it, or question why they (the boss) are getting involved at all.

To put it another way, if there is a high degree of trust anyway you are likely forgiven a harsher communication style, but if the the trust isn't there no amount of wordsmithing that will improve it.

That being said, poor communication styles will ruffle feathers and cause problems, and if you are leading people you should learn to do this better. I just don't think that's at the heart of what being considered "bossy" is, so working on it won't likely fix that.
So the report shows these APT groups attack more countries and industries using similar methods at different stages of cyber attacks that security teams struggle to detect.

does llm really have a moat? you may compare google and bing. they provide essentially the same set of functionalities and nearly identical user interface. the users should be able to move from one to the other easily. but google has better search results, at least in users perception. most users don't even get to try the competitors products.
openai is in google's position for now. i tried claude a few times. it seems more capable than gpt3.5 but i found myself always come back to chatgpt
Definitely. I've been looking at all this stuff way too closely for awhile now so I doubt my opinion is representative. Looks like there's positive reception coming from others in the comments here. I think the general cycle of "new model/technique - rush to implement - immediately obsoleted by another new model/technique - rush to implement..." has me a little burned out. Sorry about the dismissive comment.
Hamas would be disappointed to hear that. They were very proud of it. They promoted it on video and their leadership has promised repeats.

They don't want it forgotten. They just want everyone to think that Israel is overreacting to the mutilation, rape, and murder of 1400 people (plus over 200 hostages, including one under four months old).

Why go to all that trouble if people are just going to deny it?

"on set...but on the move"

Being mobile and being setup on set are like comparing apples and oranges. The only thing similar is there's a camera and some actors. Run-n-gun shooters looking for battery operated lighting think totally differently than a crew shooting not "on the move". You're essentially comparing a cinematic setup to a newsie while essentially insulting both.
You’re right and we are in agreement. It should be the choice of the consumer.

As a consumer I made the choice to use Apple system.

But we are kidding ourselves if we think that once the floodgates are open and developers are no longer forced to use Apple’s system that they will. Removing the choice from consumers.

Developers will jump at the chance to “forget” to tell me my yearly subscription is about to renew or not give me a one click option to remove subscriptions. Something I get with the App Store.

Also I have said it before and will continue to repeat this. Developers think they will get more money by being out of the App Store but there is a lot of subscription I use now that I would never pay for if I couldn’t through the App Store.

For myself and many others their choice is to take the 30% (really it’s less considering there are still credit card processing fees and unless you make your own billing system the fees of other systems) or nothing.
The market solution to this is for those companies to pay more until they attract people to work there.

Most of this tracks, except for picking Gerard O'Neill for the reason Bezos is into dystopian futurism. O'Neill's a real deal physicist - he's the person who first theorized that you could use storage rings as the basis for particle accelerators. He spent significant time doing real research into space colonization. He wrote some books, sure, but they were more to try and promote his ideas than the core thesis of Stross - that science fiction technologies are written primarily as set dressing to facilitate the story.

He might not agree with O'Neill's ideas on space colonization but it does not seem to be a fair to paint them in the same brush as his metaphorical Torment Nexus.
There's a whole set of different floating-point values which are NaN, and this canonicalizes them into one particular NaN, as I understand it.

I'm not even sure that covering type conversions was intended here.
A fairer characterization might be that it’s a more marginal but no less essential use.

We don’t rely on voice calls to communicate at a distance as much as we used to because there are other mediums the modern smartphone can access for that application, but a lot of us still do rely on voice calls on our smartphones for communications of some kind whether it’s WebEx meetings, Discord calls or straight up POTS emulation.
Another crazy way to think about it: every two years, humanity experiences more time (in terms of “total hours of existence”) than the entire age of the universe, from the Big Bang to now. A universes lifetime of collective experience, every two years.
Yes, more Poles than Danes IIRC, which given Iceland's history is quite the feat. Similar to the UK, Polish workers occupy a lot of the builders/drivers/cleaners type blue collar positions in the economy.

Git cherry-picking (rebasing, etc) is about applying patches to things. Those patches are based on snapshots and thus you can say "Apply the Y2..Cherry" diff to Head without a second thought.

There's no "history" to where Y2 or Cherry came from. If the patch applies, it applies.

Any problems due to that are to be resolved later.

It might be instructive to read up on rebase --onto and what that can do. Cherry pick is just a special case of that... mostly.

Yep absolutely. It's a pros and cons sort of thing, and having a personality like Elon can make things very difficult. In my opinion, this is a great example of why cognitive diversity is so important to a high-performing team. With team members who think differently, the team can reach incredible heights. If it was just Elon, I think they'd have a very difficult time achieving anything.
