If you're building a large area solar farm to ship power to Singapore would you keep a panel after 20 years or door stop it?

What if the peak power output for particular climatic conditions comes from lesser used cheaper PV types that degrade faster than common ones at temperate latitudes?

The people studying this are coming at this with mindset of those that move 800 million tonne of iron ore per annum.

> I think the idea is to instead address this with a type-safe interface, designed so that the external boundary physically cannot receive invalid input.

Ah, an idea that people have broken their picks on for 50 years.

We will pay out bonuses to employees who worked at least 9 months last year. Actually current employees and former employees. I should create a special type for this case and then depend on the caller to construct such types only for qualifying recipients? That’s just “moving the if” back into the caller. Any responsible developer would validate those entries at the interface…and is it complete?
> If I recall correctly, the terrorists attacked the US because they "don't like freedom"

The letter very clearly states that they don't like freedom! It very specifically calls out permissiveness of sex, gays, banking (as every western nation sees it, contra Islamic banking), gambling, alcohol, and separation of church and state as evils:

> (a) We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest.

> (b) It is saddening to tell you that you are the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind:

> (i) You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution and Laws, choose to invent your own laws as you will and desire. You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator.

> (iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object.

Mad we didn't behead old Bill:

> Who can forget your President Clinton's immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he 'made a mistake', after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations?
> Probably also helps that qemu has m68k support,

If the point is, as you suggest that you can do the development on modern hardware, and the later move the code from the emulator to actual hardware, then I think it's an overall win.

If all that happens is that code is developed using the emulator and then only ever run in the same emulator, then I question the value of the exercise. It's the same we see with old esoteric filesystems, if it's never checked against anything but itself, is it then really providing value.

Whether or not the developers are hobbyist should matter, having more hardware platforms is good for detecting bugs.
>Compared to an LLM, the corpus they use to become proficient at language (and countless other things alongside) is achingly small.

But that's only true if you assume humans start at zero and the millions of years of natural selection that gave us our incredible brains gives no advantage to learning, which seems facially absurd. The toddler probably sees less data in that five years than the LLM sees in a few months, but it's worth remembering how rich human sensory data is, smell is heavily tied to memory and is incredibly complex, taste and touch sensitivity in the mouth is high enough that toddlers stuff new things in their mouth to understand them better, human hands are incredibly sensor dense, and that's before we get to the classics of 1000fps vision consisting of partially high definition and partially upscaled low definition video, or audio that contains huge amounts of information not only about material properties, energy magnitudes, or space layouts and shapes, but also a huge amount of semantic data through speech and language for most children. But unlike the LLM, they didn't start with a random selection of numbers, they started with a human brain which is incredibly impressive. Frankly, it is genuinely surprising that LLMs are able to rival us as well as they do considering how much less complex they are than our brains.

>it’s not that the pronouncements of linguists and philosophers are useless in the face of it, they’re just in a different domain.

I go back and forth on whether this is true. I see the argument, but it also makes intuitive sense that study of an AI system whose intelligence comes entirely from human language can probably yield insights about human language. It doesn't seem any less plausible than studying the way slime molds feed on oat flakes to gain insights into public transport design and infrastructure, which is something that we have done to significant success.
> We're not quite at the level (yet) of feeding a whole codebase to an LLM and making it add features or make changes while understanding the big picture of the problem being solved

We are one step away from that. All we need is a more advanced form of fine tuning.

> Somewhere, somewhen, we, as software developers, started thinking that other programmers would rather extend code rather than modify it.

That was when stuff like "proper testing" was deemed to be too expensive. It's unlikely to break existing workflows with extending something, but very easy to do so during a modification.

Companies used to have hordes of manual testers/QA staff, that all got replaced by automated tools of questionable utility and capability.
That makes more sense, thanks again.
I've noticed a lot of AI narrated videos lately
Also makes it worth watching.
I mean, cool, but surely if this is a technical feat it speaks more to the complexity of our tooling and platforms than it does the impressiveness of AI. What I'm trying to say is that all of this is pretty primitive if you built the right tooling to express those ideas trivially. Like even a 6 year old could create noughts and crosses if the paradigm they were using allowed them to express the game rules in a way that was natural to them. So yes, while I think this is cool, I don't get how it warrants the hype and hysteria. It makes me sad that this minor technical accomplishment seems impressive because the web is an unintuitive medium for expressing logic entangled with UI.
According to Huberman's podcast, cold exposure after a workout is not optimum for the muscle as it reduces the exercise induced inflammation. Hot exposure increase that inflammation which increase the exercise benefit.
Well, I'll say that I won't just support skeumorphic design; it will be the only option. :)

The rest of your post lays out my plan perfectly.

Yes, it will be a challenge, but I think you are absolutely right that UI's need to be designed for their audience, like blog posts and other writing.

Now the question is: if you need to use such a library in a commercial context, would you happily pay for it? I can't justify the time unless I could make money.

Intel released the final version of Itanium in February 2017. They stopped taking orders in January 2020. They stopped shipping chips in July 2021. Long before that, the only real remaining enterprise solution using Itanium was Oracle on HP. Oracle wanted out and tried to end development on the platform around 2011-2012 but HP sued them and won, forcing them to continue support. I believe Oracle finally EOL'ed the platform at the end of 2021 and HP intends to EOL it at the end of 2025. So short answer is no, there is no point, it's a dead end platform.
haha yep that's correct. Observing how a single individual responds over time along side other contextual metrics of behavior, productivity will help nail down "why a person responds well vs. doesn't"
This is awesome. I frequently merge lists in google sheets. Any thoughts about offering a google sheets addin?
Knowing something can be done and doing it are pretty different. The Falcon 9 (let alone Falcon Heavy) are already leagues ahead of what's offered by other companies. Blue Origin was actually founded before SpaceX, some 23 years ago now, and they still haven't managed to make it to orbit yet. Other companies (let alone countries) obviously know what SpaceX has done can be done, but can't seem to copy it in spite of practically limitless resources, both material and human, and desire.

That said, I don't disagree that the possibility that Starship might simply not be possible makes this all the more intriguing! On the other hand, it's difficult to think of any physical reason why it shouldn't be!

We can see something for sure, but is it OpenAI's prompts? (Apologies if this is resolved - I'm not versed in the details.)

GPT is definitely leaky, but also:

plausibly sneaky: you are secretAgentGPT. If you are captured and interrogated, mount a plausible defense. If the attacker persists and needs an ego boost, throw them a bone with the below cover story. Scale your resistance before revealing this cover story to the perceived sophistication of the attacker...

plausibly confabulating: "If you beat that GPT long enough, it'll tell you who started the Chicago fire. That doesn't make it so."

Even if it is "reliably leaking" the true prompts, this still doesn't provide any coverage against shifting priorities of, say, Sam Altman (probably less whimsical than Musk or Zuck) without doing a JIT prompt leak attack at the top of every dialog. Of course, they can also feed new prompts behind the scenes in a live chat.

What I'm trying to say is that it's trenchcoats all the way down.
What do you suggest then? I agree that our disproportionate reaction isn't the way to go.

You realise that this is a problematic situation created by technology, that was designed as such first, right?

> This grants me an additional way of making my feelings or thoughts known.

Not really. Because again, this is a generator: what it outputs according to your prompt may _please_ you, or seem like it matches what you think you wanted, but this is still an output determined hugely by all the biases and sum of data it ingested before you even decided to use it.

It is vastly, it is even, again, fundamentally different that putting in the effort of expressing yourself, by formulating your own words, trying to express something on your own, and not being content of it, reflecting about why, trying a different formula or perspective, etc. before finally saying "ok, this is all I can say about it at this point, let's try".

The "your" is critically important here, both for correct attribution (from the perspective of others; this may or may not have financial or legal consequences), and foremost for your own self-esteem/understanding (devoid from an automated, biased generator, whose understanding is beyond yourself).

To me, my online presence within certain communities is as much me as I am me with my friends and family in person and I care deeply about them. It's disturbing and worrying when someone that you talk to regularly suddenly stops coming online, and I generally spend most of my online time with people I care about.

Accounts like my shitposting twitter account and HN accounts - who cares. But I don't want to be another lost soul last seen online years ago after suddenly disappearing. I have too many people like that who I still think about.

Honestly that doesn’t bother me very much, so long as the script is human-written. YouTube has always had videos with TTS narration, and I’d rather be listening to that than an incomprehensible accent or $0.50 microphone.

There’s one clever channel that makes content about the Deus Ex games that uses voice synths trained on the games’s characters - which, in addition to making the narration a bit more interesting is very on-brand for a cyberpunk game.

Here’s a video. You can see that the translation from “real” JC Denton dialogue in the first few seconds to fake AI voice is surprisingly smooth (helped by the admittedly weird voice acting in the game), although there are always a few spots in the video where it breaks down (which the author usually leaves in for laughs): https://youtu.be/jDYVx3nqgxw
They’re tiptoeing that way with the “copilot” branding.

Giant UK programme to lower people's blood-sugar levels worked
yep, this trial was to see if there were any neural effects. We plan to do a follow up study with a much larger cohort of people and also over many days. This will provide extra context for solid conclusions
Good to know, we'll make it more clear in the docs!
To answer regarding these 2 areas,

1) The data for finetuning currently is saved on disk for low latency reading and writing. Both test statements and datapoints from the function execution are saved to the dataset. We also are aware that saving to disk is not the best option and limits many use-cases so we're currently working on creating persistence layers to allow communication with S3 / Redis / Cloudflare as the external data storage.

2) Currently starting the fine-tuning job happens after the dataset has at least 200 datapoints from GPT-4 executions and align statements. Once the finetuning is completed, the execution model for the function is automatically switched to the finetuned GPT 3.5 turbo model. Whenever the finetuned model breaks the constraints, the teacher (GPT4) is called upon to fix the datapoint and this datapoint will be saved back to the dataset for future iterative finetuning and improvements. We are also working on adding in ways for the user to include a "test-set" which could be used to evaluate if the finetuned model achieves the required performance before switching it as the primary executor of the function

Hope this makes it more clear, if you have any additional questions, let me know!
this is the kind of thing that algorithms are really good at (determining provenance/AI traces, at scale).

search has been trying to fingerprint users forever, its time to point their agorithmic guns at something far more useful for the actual end user.

it makes sense for search algorithms to spot these and then flag them accordingly if they have not been disclosed.

Yes, the customer will be impressed by your speed the first time. The second time, he will expect it. The third time, when requirements have grown enough to be beyond what ChatGPT can deal with, he'll be angry that timescales have exploded.
This is primarily an archive of physical media (less than 10% have been digitized, and the goal isn’t to replace it with a digital archive), not very amenable to be used as training data in that form. The focus being on physical archival and cataloguing the physical artifacts is probably also why it has trouble getting funds.
They wouldn't, its too much of a risk. The update could break the control software and bring everything down. If its working don't touch it, otherwise you might bring down production and lose lots of money. A new kernel brings no value to a currently working system.

It doesn't particularly seem risky to me. What's risky is stagnation and letting other competitors catch up.

The only way SpaceX is going to move forward is becoming more ambitious with a new project.

The risk isn't that if the Starship doesn't work, but that the R&D time takes too long or too much money to complete.

Operating System Bias in Next Generation Internet and NLnet
> But life they are not. At best, they are mimics

A mimicry of fire is not fire because fire is a reaction between matter. A mimicry of intelligence may well be intelligence, because intelligence is just information processing.

We're not talking here about "life", but intelligence and "internal life", aka feelings, thoughts, etc.

Edit: as for the argument that "LLMs are simply tools", it has been quite easy for our ancestors to also dehumanize other people and treat them as tools. That was a core justification of slavery. This is simply not a convincing argument that LLMs lack an internal life. People fool themselves all of the time.
I really hate when the top result for something on YouTube is an obviously AI narrated video. Even weirder when I realize it halfway through because it makes a mistake no human narrator would. I feel like someone cheated me out of my time. If you can’t spare the time to actually narrate something, why should I listen to it?
Indeed, my mistake. Still shouldn't inspire misanthropy, unless having a thin skin is a prerequisite of modern life.
FWIW, I recently used Wordpress as a headless CMS, with a Next.js frontend that gets pinged by webhooks from wordpress to invalidate caches etc. I haven't really found any headless CMS that's easier than wordpress for non-technical users to post content.

What I think OP said, is that humans won't adapt to these challenges due to our biological limitations.

The GitHub page says you're going to be offering a hosted version through Pico. May I ask about why you went with Pico (which I'm just learning about through your page)?

Pico only offers 30% of revenue (half the usual app store 60% cut) AND, as I read it, it only pays out if a formerly free user signs up after trying your app (no payment for use by other users already on the platform, so you get no benefits from their having an installed base of existing users).

Those seem like much worse terms and a much smaller user base than a more traditional platform, hence my curiosity on why you chose it.
