got-3.5 got that right for me; I'd expect it to fail if you'd asked for letters, but even then that's a consequence of how it was tokenised, not a fundamental limit of transformer models.
People will keep getting ICE cars. Do you know why? Because IT DOESN'T NEED A BATTERY.

The battery is the single most fragile, heavy, dangerous, expensive, stressful ("range anxiety") and annoying component of an EV, and one which degrades at an alarming rate, just by using it normally.

Guess what, a fuel tank doesn't shrink every time you fill it.

And it doesn't shrink even FASTER when you fill it to the top.

Or let it go empty.

Or run in cold weather.

Or hot weather.

Or you drive fast.

Or too slow.

Or when you fill the tank too fast. Where "too fast" is dripping it in for 30 to 60 minutes a pop.

Or when you don't drive the car for too long.

On top of that, the starting range of the top BEV is half an ICE car. That's on a new car, before all the magical "shrinking" happens.

Batteries are WORSE than anything the automobile industry has from the past 50+ years. And people are slowly realizing that.
Cynically: you should not want to switch off your device, at least not often, so this function is deprioritized. If you want it off for reasons other than long-term storage, something in the design is lacking.
I expect you open the article and read it in the first paragraph. Also it is industry standard to name it that way.
The downfall of Nokia phones was seeded in it’s management culture. After one message from their CEO Elop Osbourned the market for Nokia phones faster than you can say ”burning raft”, the house of cards built on top of strong early brand history and increasingly commodotized radio technology, Micrsoft basically paid billions for an offering that would have required a heroic&legendary pivot (would have been possible with the talent and tech still in house).

Really really. You have two so-frigging-stereotypical samples of management ineptitude in running a strong commercial brand AND leadership (Osbourne:’guys our phones suck’ ; ’change management 101’: burning raft is literally the most commmon and mundane turn of phraze meant to imply you need to act fast. Using this specific phraze is a clear beacon you are out of way out of your depth by paraphrazing 101 material to your company). If the phones had been a strong product, none of this would have mattered. But they weren’t and this was as clear way to signal ”emperor has no clothes” as possible.
Agreed, but this will probably be limited to domains where there’s better products
And I thought I was the only one that didn’t like this kind of writing. No capitalization, writing “i” instead of “I” and generally trying to write as fast as possible.

I guess that’s what happens if you’re working 60-100 hours per week coding ChatGPT, and you don’t have time to waste. Sometimes I feel sorry for these kind of people and other times I envy them.
I bought it for the first three months, cancelled because I didn't use it frequent enough. Now I resubscribed but mainly because I needed image assets and DALLE3+GPT4 is really cool way to generate il image ideas.

I do believe that it might be cheaper for many developers to pay per request using the API platform and use one of the many frontend clones with your API key.
Levying fines is also fun!
It's possible, but harder than almost any other role. There are people at Google/Meta like this. Usually E7/E8 levels, "coding machines". It's much easier to go into a pseudo PM/TL/Director role though to hit those levels and income, so it's uncommon.

You really have to have a passion for coding to put in the hours and be very good at it. Incredibly rare, believe it or not. Lots of people think they are good coders but this is another level. Proof is in your commit/code review count/async comms being 10x-100x of everyone else in your org, and it's clear you're single-handedly enabling delivery of major projects earlier than anyone else could. Think of the pressure of doing this continuously.
per 3 hours and usually not

but I also have a second subscription if I do
No 50 per month limit; not idea where you got that from. The limit is 50 per 3 hours. --- ah I seem to have hallucinated that :(.

So this might actually be fine. OK
I basically agree. We can't rebuild our cities in 7 years, so we have to "patch" cars to be zero emissions. How do you get tens of millions of people to do that in 7 years though? Keep in mind average yearly income is something like $45k and most Americans have less than $500 in savings--not exactly a market ready to wholesale replace their cars.

I think it's clear that if you want to halve transportation emissions in 7 years you have to ban their current ICE car, and the only way you get away with that is to give them a comparable EV. We still have to build out mass transit and rezone everything, and also hit the mute button on NIMBYs everywhere, but short term you have to do a swap, like immediately. The money required for this is... astronomical, it's at least trillions for an ICE/EV swap, but you also need subsidies for auto manufacturers and developers, and you also need to weather the political storm of essentially stealing cars (a huge part of American culture) and putting grocery stores in the suburbs.

Unemployment in eg the US is fairly low. So you can pick companies which have less stringent non-competes (or non at all).
VGUI usually isn't used for HUD drawing.

If you have problems, better report them at our issue tracker on GitHub. Even if it was unsupported configuration, there might be somebody who knows how to fix this exact issue.
He later escaped from prison and as far as Google seems to know is still free.
It's about voluntary contracts, too.
I doubt self awareness has anything to do with it..
honestly if chatgpt4 would charge 200$ per month I would by now also probably pay it

even at 500$ i would still think about it
I’ve been pondering a more accurate metric for comparing stories over time. The raw point value doesn’t work as there’s inflation due to a larger user base.

The value needs to be adjusted to factor that in that change. Something like dividing by the sum of all upvotes in some preceding time period.
Seriously, do we honestly believe 80 hours a week coding is a good thing. What, is he this bad at coding.

What about he spends 4 hours a week coding cause he’s so good at coding.

Way more impressive.

IMO the main reason it's distinguishable is because it keeps explicitly telling you it's an AI.
Will there be an API to upload lessons in bulk?

Turns out there is a real world use case for crypto.
Same for me. It may be a recent UI bug with the limit message being hardcoded in the internationalisation.
yes you are correct. I seem to have imagined that.
I understand your objection to my other recent posts, but what is the issue with this one? It has a few rhetorical flourishes, but it doesn't seem like ideological battle to me.

But maybe I'm missing something - while it didn't start any arguments, some did object to it enough to get it flagged.
> When I moved to Glasgow a year ago, I moved to the country of carpeted floors. Every British home seems to own a carpet, and everyone seems to have an affinity for it too. These carpeted floors are everywhere.

The weirdest: carpeted bathrooms. Very British.
Ah alright thanks, it was not one of the 3 names mentioned here so it confused me.
Money also attracts talent. An OpenAI competitor led by the people who led OpenAI to its leading position should be able to raise a lot of money.
Easy to implement.
Key Takeaways from the Search Trial
Having used both in a professional capacity I have to say Teams is shockingly worse than Google Meet.

I’ve never had my laptop’s sound like an Apache helicopter while on a call with Google Meet yet simply having Teams open had me searching for a bomb shelter.
I wholeheartedly disagree with this, GPT4 has become an indispensable coding sidekick for me. Yes it needs rigorous coaxing and nudging, and sometimes it hallucinates, but I’ve also seen it produce great things that have saved me dozens or hundreds of hours of work this year. Including non-trivial code with far more than two if blocks.

A hammer is a finished product.

LLMs as a technology are in their infancy and see groundbreaking developments every month.

There are models trained on character level tokens that handle precisely these issues.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.06158

https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/17xj8wl/trainin...

The fact LLMs can't currently handle character-level changes tell us nothing about whether or not they truly understand meaning.

The parent commentator is not probing the right things to answer his question.
Oh that’s great, we’re more who find such kind of writing unprofessional. Especially spelling errors in CVs, formatting errors in documents/presentations, one sentence paragraphs and similar kind of things.

It might indicate intelligence and people who are extra busy, thus not wasting their time, but depending on the position and circumstances a nicely written text is essential.
Meanwhile, in the parallel universe, they founded a new company with Sam and Greg, and Apple entered the scene as a significant partner or investor.
After noncompetes, they should go after non-solicitation. Entire teams that work well together should be able to defect from shitty employers. It kind of happens anyway but on the quiet, inefficiently - I'd love to see a job website where you can list an entire team.
Looks like a well thought product, congrats for the launch. But why is it better than the millions of options available? (Besides being yours which makes it better for you). Why is it safer than the options? Why is it safer than a SSG website?
Eventually, yes. Not sure if I'll be able to implement it in time for v1, though.
I don’t understand what you mean here.
Monetization of "hot takes" and baiting, true example of enshittification
No? You will use LTE and not bother with local connectivity. As I said, I have Wifi turned on but no one uses it.
The world needs more truly open source AI models where the success and outcomes do not depend on a single figurehead or a corporation.
Yes, I have been using it the last few days. I haven't noticed the failure case of Bing Chat not answering the question at all. Are you sure you had the modes I recommended turned on? Try reporting the problems to Mikhail Parakhin, the Microsoft CEO of Advertising & Web Services, on Twitter. Most of his messages are about bugs and features in Bing Chat and generative AI products.

https://twitter.com/mparakhin?lang=en

Definitely agree that Bing Chat's message limit per conversation needs to be kept in mind. I haven't found that to be a problem in practice, since I start a new topic with the most relevant recent context. OpenAI's GPT-4 seems to be doing some smart summarization behind the scenes since you can keep going.

I agree that there are occasions when the search results confuse Bing Chat, and GPT-4 (w/o browsing) performs better.

Your thoughts about where GPT-4 excels over Bing Chat are quite insightful! It would be great to see some examples prompts/questions where you feel that the quality has degraded over time. I am sure Parakhin would be interested as well.
Good luck. Since you want brutal feedback, at this early stage, it looks boring and tedious to enter data. I’d concentrate on the course output and define the input format as JSON or CSV. Why? Duolingo isn’t great because of the content, but because of great navigation (and points gamification) so the courses should work great on small touch screens. How to get the data is is something to worry about once the interface for the learner is good. Also, it’s easier to get formatted course input, because you can just ask chatgpt to generate learning material in a specific format. (For my own out of Duolingo experience I do exactly that: I defined a learning csv format and ask chatgpt to give me learning examples in this format) - also I’d stay away from animating images unless you get good at it, because animations distract from learning (and duolingo is turning into an animation studio and spending the resources to get animation right, so anything you can do with low budget is going to look cheap)
I think they fired him because they are _not_ close to the AGI (no one is), but he lied to the potential investors how they are.

That's against a popular sentiment about the upcoming "breakthrough", but also most probable given the characteristics of the approach they took.
Are you kidding? Have you seen the reactions since ChatGPT was released, including in this very website? You'd think The Singularity is just around the corner!
I feel compelled to agree with this. I have no issues with OpenAI as it was under Sam, but they did build OpenAI as a nonprofit, and then made it a for profit to further that goal. Assuming VC culture took over, when would it be ok to reign that in? In 10 years when likely all the people that had the power to do this were gone and we were left with something like Google's amnesia about "do no evil"?
It's inherent to how it works, it is known and had always been known that nothing you type into these chats is private and there is nothing whatsoever fundamentally to stop the AI from just handing your chats to somebody else or dumping them out to the internet. They aren't even able to theoretically describe a mechanism by which you could provide a kind of memory protection for these models. And of course we have seen real examples of this already. Only a matter of time before the completely and totally insurmountable problems or scaling AI become clear. Sam is and has always been a conman in my view.
It's good if you're a polyglot programmer and constantly switching between tech stacks. It's like when Stack Overflow was helpful.
WTH? How much traffic is this thread getting or alternatively, how little traffic does the guardian get?
Electric cars are useful as well, but still, most electric car startups are -90% down from the peak. A financial bubble does not mean the underlying product is bad.
For Android the mobile app seems to be last updated in 2021 and not compatible with the latest Android version. I would switch to pass immediately if they had both a well maintained and audited browser extension and mobile app.
When I go back to the US, I pick states by which have limited non-competes.
Can anyone tell me what's the best version to play: black mesa or the original (this anniversary update)? I installed both last night, original plays 4k out of the box.

I ended up comparing the intros, in the rail cart bit last night. They are quite different surprisingly. (Hrm, I'm developing weird habits as a sleep deprived parent).

I'm on a good pc, 3070, Ryzen 3600.

I never really played this back in the day. Though I did buy half life 2 around release and nearly completed it but this was before steam did cloud saves so I don't have my save file anymore.

I see I can buy the full collection for a bout 4 pounds. Opposing force looks interesting.

I really shouldn't be buying games I don't have time to play!
capital letters at the beginning of a sentence are deprecated, as they offer no tactical or semantic advantage. worse yet, they break the flow and consistency of written text.
ChatGPT doesn't know recent events
I like to consider though that a super intelligence would not necessarily think in human ways 'kill everything in self interest' e.g., People, forests, animals, planet etc. Just because we humans act this way, doesn't mean AI will too. Fair enough to consider it, but equally, once it is intelligent, it will likely accelerate beyond our comprehension, and we tend to comprehend through fear and self interest, wisdom beyond humans is the opposite of this.

I doubt AI could or would do a better job of killing people and democracy than us humans.
> For "speech" in terms of facts, the state will help a citizen get a retraction and/or damages if the facts were objectively wrong

So, what's "objectively wrong" about Media Matters reporting?

They documented ads from blue chip companies displayed on the side of evil antisemite contents and outright nazi pages.

It's a fact that Musk "you speak the truth" bro'd to a viciously antisemite post.

I, for one, are no more willing to give Mr. Musk the benefit of the doubt. When it walks like an antisemite, talks like an antisemite and quaks like an antisemite, then, no shit! we're dealing with an antisemite.
They think they are being cute and cool. "Look I am sloppy and don't care how others perceive me".
The fact that the press release is 50% dedicated to repeating that OpenAI is supposed to be a non-profit and help all of humanity isn't enough for you to believe this is the reason?
I'm about to do the same! Genius marketing on valves part!

This sort of test has been my go-to trip up for LLMs, and 3.5 fails quite often. 4 has been as bad as 3.5 in the past but recently has been doing better.
In Sweden all non-compete clauses that has been challenged by a court has been thrown out. Unless they have been backed by compensation. Too few cases has been tried to establish a floor for this compensation, but numbers thrown around indicate that you should be prepared to pay around 60-80% of the salary during the non-compete period.
Purging an non-profit organization from a greedy MBA aggressively focused on sales and nothing else is always a good riddance in my book.
If the speculation that the board want to open up everything so that it is truly open/public domain "for the benefit of humanity" turns out to be accurate, I can't see Microsoft being terribly happy about this now that they own 49% of OpenAI and want not only to recoup their investments but make ongoing profit.

An exodus of staff might provoke a very quick release of a lot of code, pipelines, and training data by the remaining board before investors' lawyers have a chance to stop it.
I totally agree.

They must be under so much crazy pressure at OpenAI that it indeed is like a cult. I'm glad to see the snake finally eat iself. Hopefully that'll return some sanity to our field.
But does anyone run an OS thread per request unironically? I thought that nearly every request-response server implementation would use a thread pool. The best, like Erlang, can give you the feeling of arbitrarily many extremely cheap threads, while also running on a thread pool.
>I got an email the other day, that despite me paying my 100$ a year fee, my hobbyist game would be removed unless I update it.

Brace yourself for impact, coz you will have a loota fun in about three years.
By that logic you could never use a third party API.
It seems like firing Sam and causing this massive brain drain might be antithetical to the whole AGI mission of the original non-profit. If OpenAI loses everyone to Sam and he starts some new AI company, it probably won't be capped-profit and just be a normal company. All of the organizational safeguards OpenAI had inked with Microsoft and protection against "selling AGI" once-developed are out-the-window if he just builds AGI at a new company.

I'm not saying this will happen, but it seems to me like an incredibly silly move.
No, I'm making fun of the original comment that compared gpt3.5 and gpt4 by saying its only a difference of .5

It's an absolute absurd way to compare things and incredibly reductive.
doesnt US hold like billions of dollars worth of bitcoin and other crypto that have been "siezed" over time?
