> This simply isn't true of humans for the kinds of examples used in the paper. If I read "Olaf Scholz was the ninth Chancellor of Germany" then I have no trouble reversing that and determining that the 9th chancellor of Germany was Olaf Scholz. This is not an inference that's 'cognitively challenging'.

That's in-context though. LLMs don't fail in-context either.

For a better comparison, recall your school experience, say with history lessons, or geography lessons - where you would cram a hundred "A is B" relationships, and then take a test that demanded you know the reversals. Not as easy.

The "reversal curse" failures I've seen with LLMs are very similar to asking a random person, out of a blue, some unusual reversal of some random fact they ought to know, and then being surprised they can't answer quickly.

> The paper does not claim that GPT-4 cannot perform logical deduction, but only that it does not appear to make use of it when generalizing its training data.

Well, neither can humans when cramming, if you don't give them time to pause and think about what they're learning. I believe the equivalent is happening here - LLMs can perform logical deductions, but at no point in the training process is this capability used.
4,8,16,32QAM would correspond to 2,3,4,5 bits per symbol. 16 bits per symbol would be 65536QAM.
Based on Microsoft's apparent losses on CoPilot, I suspect the latter. My initial research on ML usage suggested the thing wasn't profitable when commoditised which it well and truly is now hence why I've avoided investing in it (wisely so far). The energy cost versus capital cost versus actual utility makes it a net negative ROI for the technology supplier. The industry is currently living on some vain hope that hardware improvements will decrease cost enough for it to be profitable. With die and process shrinks starting to get problematic (3nm isn't going as well as people want it to) and increasing energy costs, cost reductions are unrealistic.
> So if even THE nuclear nation on this planet "neglects" its reactors, wouldn't that be an argument against nuclear?

No. It would be an argument against anti-nuclear

> those things grow old and France failed to diversify it's power generation in the last decades

"Decades" implies 20 years or more. Even now France's nuclear provides more energy than anything it has, and France routinely exports energy to Germany who have shattered their nuclear power plants and are now busy burning coal and importing electricity to cover the needs.

Even the countries who "diversified" depend on those with stable electricity production all the time. See example from just today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38274335
OpenBSD does wifi better without running a Linux VM, and setting up a desktop it's easier. No ZFS, and no Linuxemu, but you get another set of features, such as pledge/unveil, a much easier and safer upgrade path, more up to date Intel GPU drives, and stuff laptop like brightness keys working rightly from the kernel boot and not with a crude desktop daemon hack.
Interesting, it seems in the EU countries I lived in, a different solution emerged: the mail carriers cooperate with local corner shops (common in any EU city) and even supermarkets to serve as pick up points. In addition there are package lock boxes run by the mail carrier and distributed in central locations. I have never lived anywhere where I would have walked more than 10 minutes to the pickup, usually much less. The only issue I ever had was with a huge bulk parcel which I had to pick up at a depot, and a deouevry from china on which I had to pay duties. But that were 2 out of probably thousands of deliveries over the years.

On neighbours, the carriers usually let you choose if you want this to happen, but it's just a normal part of life to accept (and hand over) your neighbour's parcels. I have done so dozens of times and had it happen for me, even in rougher areas where I barely knew the neighbours. I guess levels of interpersonal trust might be higher in Europe than the U.S.?

There is a whole bunch of factors that make the the risk of someone crashing into me is much higher than me crashing into them. The first one being that I spend more hours riding my ebike than driving my truck. And before the ebike, I was riding a motorcycle a lot, technically putting myself in a whole shitload of danger.

So overall, I have probably contributed less risk to drivers around me over my hours commuting then they have to me.

I had thought of doing the exact same thing, but then cross-referencing with LinkedIn and other non-anonymous social networks to go the extra step and actually identify people with a certain level of confidence. I think we’re months, maybe days away from someone actually building this product and using it for nefarious purposes.
Glad that we agree.
Feels like there is some messy reporting by IEEE here. The immediate assumption is that this will be applied to CPUs, but none of the researchers' quotes mention this or even suggest it could be viable. There is one quote mentioning power electronics and use with non-silicon semiconductors which seems like a slam-dunk obvious application but that's brushed over.

There is a lot of 'it depends' on the efficiency of solar in winter. Solar is actually more efficient in winter, but depending on your latitude you get less hours of sun, and a lower angle of incidence.

Heat pump up-front cost are higher indeed. But depending on your local grid situation, they can drastically decrease the amount of electricity you shove and pull from the grid, by adapting to your solar performance. You can use them to convert your house into a thermal battery. Managing the time when you consume and produce energy will become the most important cost factor in the next few years in countries that advance towards renewable energy sources.

If you go to Sam Altmans Product hunt profile it shows he launch a new product called Redoc. Basically like a chatgpt but for copywriting. Thoughts on this new product I tried it and it’s pretty neat. But I’m confused why it hasn’t been announced, is it supposed to be like a gem.
VBA is the ultimate agile programming language. The company's IT aka Bureaucracy Department is stuck with Scrum, Squads and what not. And meanwhile in the other departments people are just getting things done with Excel/VBA.

Nothing has changed. In the last century this also happened and it was called islands of automation. In my bubble back then it was considered a good strategy, let departments first play around, and if they are on to something integrate it.
bing chat was doing that from day one using gpt-4 free of charge... low key superpower for people who could get past the bing hate.
Thanks, interesting insight. Here it's just a normal thing to do. Why not do my neighbour a favour? The mail carriers mostly are regulars (except for the new Amazon carriers) so if you refuse parcels they will also respect this and not bother you.
> You have to rewrite a whole DBMS on top of s3 itself or use redshift to get these things.

No, you get a DBMS and only change the storage underneath. You can't use S3 for appending to WAL though.

All those can be fixed besides the latency for a cold GET from S3 and appending WAL to S3.
It's not a good idea to use an experimental OS in a business setting.

My interpretation of sgarland's question was that he meant `<file` being the entirety of the statement, i.e. typing only that at a shell prompt and pressing return.
It seems that people would be willing to pay even more for the service for the value they are getting. And I think in near future such services will diversify. Some becoming very expensive and providing high value. Which will further increase the power of money. This time also connecting it with access to knowledge. For now, public knowledge, but a deal where say Amazon AI has access to all digitized books and provides spotify-like earnings - yes in multiple meanings of that phrase - seems like a possibility.
I couldn't comment, but I'd imagine that would correlate well with outcomes.

They recently changed the pricing. It's now $5/mo for 300 searches or $10/mo for unlimited searches.

I'm on the $10 because it seems I do about 600 searches a month.

For me it's a bargain, I could never go back to Google.
Yeah that would be nice. Hopefully the author adds it. That makes the whole development flow with wlroots based compositors quite pleasant (although difficult still)
This is true. But from a moral standpoint, I have to deal with the fact that anyone has the ability to ingest alcohol and get behind the wheel of a car, and there is nothing I can do about that.

Global warming is a problem, but ecosystems falling down by missing pieces or because we keep throwing wrenches to the gear is another big culprit.

Well this was in real life, so you aren't going to get records.

Wikipedia suggests lol is more like 40 years old, but you actually have a written record to back that up.

All I have is my own experience, I wasn't really on the internet until the 2000s so I wouldn't have come across lol until mobile phones and texting became widespread (around 1999/2000).

"I accidentally a" would have been in the 1995 - 2000 time frame. But again that's just my experience of it.

This july Orban said in Romania he considers Slovakia to be land forcibly separated from Hungary (https://spectator.sme.sk/c/23197964/viktor-orban-slovakia-ro...). Here is Orban with map of Hungary on his scarf that includes Slovakia: https://www.startitup.sk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/fidesz-o... and with current pro-russian slovak government it is not impossible to imagine Slovakia leaving NATO. Then all it takes is one false flag operation and Orban can invade. Orban's Hungary is the same as Putin's Russia. They need external enemy to hold power.
Well, yes, if by "not making commuting miserable" you mean "build a lot of transit, convert roads and motorways to streets, and somehow cure people of their car addiction". But yes, you also have to cure people and planners of their single-family house addiction.

I don't agree with authors claim.

There is a plant which mimics leaves of nearby plants discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31301454 If you ask GPT-4 what this plant is known for, it will tell you correctly. But if you ask in any number of ways to tell the name of plant which mimic leaves, it will always give incorrect answer.
As I said at the beginning, this applies to most other enterprise big tech companies from the US. MS in particular has a hook others don't: most companies right now are still solidly tied to Windows, Office, AD/Entra. This is the slope that easily leads to the whole M365 environment. It's hard even for Google to compete with this. And it's impossible for the almost non-existing EU offering in this space to compete. There are lots of individual services that could compete 1:1 with the equivalents from MS or Google but nothing that can compete with the full ecosystems and vertical integration they provide.

Even so, a law that benefits MS will also benefit Google under these circumstances. Any law that locks out MS or Google (like GDPR which constantly sees "exceptions" carved out) will have some severe economic repercussions on EU companies, not to speak of the political/diplomatic ones with the US.
So many memories. This game was a masterpiece. I spent three weeks missing class (nearly failing my compiler construction class) and broke up with a girlfriend playing this game. Glad they don't make games like this anymore.
> I would still prefer to choose explicitly GPT-4 model that doesn't browse and don't do image recognition.

I have disabled it in settings. Which only decreased usage of it. Which is ridiculous, especially that you can avoid using e.g. "browsing" by explicitly stating it in the input.
On the topic of "computers as public transport for the mind"...

A project I work on has some processes that I need to run that can only be initiated through the Azure DevOps Pipeline interface, and these need a "worker agent" on a VM or something, and there is only one worker agent, and some of the jobs take half an hour or more.

So the effective outcome is that despite every member of the team having a full multi-tasking computer on our desk (A multi-tasking computer each! Sometimes more than one each! Plus loads of cloud VMs), we can only run a single task at a time between us and we have to coordinate scheduling manually.

Is this the future?

It is like this because the process involves "secrets" that are meant to be hidden from the team but are accessible to the program when running inside the Pipeline. If it weren't for this secret-hiding, I could just run the process manually on whatever computer I want.

And the secret-hiding doesn't even really work, because I can freely commit code to personal branches on the repository that the Pipeline runs from, and I can run the Pipeline on whatever branch I want, so I could commit a program that prints out the secrets. Ah, but Microsoft has thought of this: if any of the secrets appears in the output, they get replaced with "***".

(Let's skip the part where this accidentally leaks a "secret" username, where I know a particular piece of text that should be output but instead all I see is stars...)

The secret-hiding doesn't work because I can just make the program output base64 of the secret. I don't do this because I don't want to start pasting secrets around in places they shouldn't be available, but it is sometimes tempting.

Anyway, welcome to the future of computing. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
Of course it's free speech. Manipulative speech is free speech. Dangerous speech is free speech. This has been supported by the US Supreme court, it isn't even controversial. You're the unserious one here, you're acting on emotion and not reason.

I don't even know what "manipulation of opinion by an authoritarian regime" you're referring to, as TikTok is nothing but memes and nonsense, but it's axiomatic around here that free speech means we must allow speech from all sources, and that manipulation of opinion is fair game. That people may be sensitive and easily led astray by falsehood is not an excuse for censorship. They must simply find a way to verify the claims made for themselves. We must simply adapt to this new world order.

And besides, the answer to "bad" speech is more speech, is it not?

I'm simply saying we should apply the same full throated defense of free speech to the psyops of authoritarian regimes as we do neo-nazis and quacks and "journalists" who want to harass trangendered people to suicide. It's only fair, given that social media is already suffused with American government and corporate propaganda anyway. How can we host proper debates without hearing all sides? Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Are Bluetooth beacons still a thing?
I'm planning a guide app for a museum and was wondering if low energy bluetooth beacons are still something that gets used for location aware apps, or whether there's a better way of knowing whereabouts a visitor is and whether they are near a key exhibit.

Yes.

The question is, do truly "orthodox" (in the sense that the essay means: bearing no controversial beliefs) people exist in large numbers? Fully center of every possible overton window?

I'd wager these people are extremely rare. I'd guess the majority of people we consider to be fully "orthodox" and uncontroversial actually do have opinions it would be hard to express openly, but they're good at hiding that they have those opinions and "play the role" of an orthodox completely in any social context.

Are Cloud Development Environments Revolutionizing the DevOps Community?
One of the latest Gartner reports and also the Pragmatic Engineer article talk about CDEs as a new rising topic in the DevOps community, and I wanted to have your thoughts about it. I attached a recent article that talks about CDEs and the Gartner report: 'Coding Goes Online: A Brief Guide to Cloud Development Environments.'

Quick summary of the article from GPT:
Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) emerged in the mid-2010s, evolving into platforms like AWS Cloud 9 and Redhat's Dev Ready Workspaces. Recognized by Gartner in 2023, CDEs provide virtual or container-based development spaces accessible through web-based IDEs. They offer self-serve, centrally managed environments, streamline governance and security, enable remote onboarding, and support DevOps automation. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 60% of cloud workloads will use CDEs, emphasizing their role in building modern, distributed, and cloud-native applications.

What are your thoughts on this topic?
