While I agree with your statement I would add "yet" to the end of it. Language models are powerful tools on their own, but we're already augmenting their knowledge with external data stores. Personally I think the next stage is going to blend in knowledge graphs.

Populating these Ontologies is very manual and time-consuming right now. LLMs without any additional training (I'm currently using a mix of the various size Lllama2 models, along with GPT 3.5 and 4 for this) are capable of few-shot generation of ontological classification. Extending this classification using fine-tuning is doing REALLY well.

I'm also seeing a lot of value in using LLMs to query and interpret proofs from deductive reasoners against these knowledge graphs. I have been limiting the scope of my research around this to two domains that have a kind of eccentric mix of formal practices, explicit "correct" knowledge, and common sense rules of thumb to be successful. Queries can be quite onerous to build which a fine-tuned model can help with, and LLMs can both assist in interpreting those logic chains and doing knowledge maintenance to add in the missing common sense rules or remove bad or outdated rules. Even selecting among possible solutions produced by the reasoners is really solid when you include the task, desires, and constraints of what you're trying to accomplish in the prompt performing the selection.

The formal process and knowledge is handled very well by knowledge graphs along with a deductive reasoning engine, but they produce very long winded logic chains to reach a positive or negative conclusion where a simpler chain might have sufficed (usually due to missing rules, or a lack of common sense rules) and are generally incapable of "leaps" in deduction.

LLMs on their own are capable of (currently largely low-level) common sense reasoning, and some formal reasoning but are still very prone to hallucinations. A 20% failure rate when building rules that human lives may depend on is a non-starter. This will improve but I don't think a probabilistic approach will ever fully remove them. We can use all of our tools together in various blends to augment and verify knowledge, fully automatically, to make more capable systems.

The vast majority of that video will never again be watched. If its just google footing the bill for it than I don't particularly care about it, but as soon as they start demanding that I pay out of pocket for it I would say they should first aggressively cull anything that is unlikely to be viewed. To the GPs point, I also don't care about the money they wasted growing their market share, and I'm certainly not interested in rewarding them for behaviour that destroyed their competition.
This is actually great because it reduces the vastly outsized impact of gas prices on short-term electricity prices through peaker plants via the merit order system.
Trains rule until demographics change enough where rails no longer support geographic population centers. This is part of the reason politicians tend to favor buses over trains; besides the smaller upfront costs, buses are easier to change routes that support populations when needs change.
> I also believe the new trains can accelerate faster so new stops are potentially possible.

Is accelerating faster a practical solution though, considering how many people are standing?
If this is the analogy, why doesn't Google try something like protecting from sticks in the first place? For example, they could lock all of YouTube behind a login & paywall.

It seems like YouTube is attempting to FORCE people to adhere to its desired business model. If ad-supported video playback is not economically viable, then maybe it's time for a new model to be born? There is no obligation for me to pick up the stick and hit myself with it because Google says I should. I downloaded a bunch of bits that Google sent to my computer, and then I read the bits I cared about. That's how every webpage has worked in my experience.

It takes practice. After meeting 100 CEOs and watching their companies evolve for 5 years, most people can be OK at it. Some people (famously Jessica Livingston) are much better than average. But few people have the chance to practice that much.

If you haven't had a lot of practice, ask people who have. Investors and other CEOs typically have lots of practice, though sometimes they aren't trustworthy themselves. So ask several people and discard outlying opinions.

Ignore the press, unless there are external facts like a conviction. The press is full of snark and innuendo about CEOs, most of which is just reporters trying to cook up a narrative people will click on.

Excellent point. This is what I find so aggravating about the board's decision. Even if you buy everything that has been reported/speculated, that they were concerned about OpenAI being "too commercial" and Altman leading this commercial charge and being duplicitous in the process, all they've done is completely obliterated whatever part of the nonprofit's charter that still had influence.

"AGI for the benefit of all humanity" will become yet another SV "how do we make the most money" ploy.
> I said too much automation.

Why are you the one who gets to decide how much is "too much"?

> And nothing about removing automation implies going back into serfdom.

Sure, just because essentially every society above the level of hunter-gatherers has had some kind of peasant/serf/slave doesn't mean that your utopia will.

But that's not the way to bet, my friend.
Transfering? Yes, it's possible. But it's not trivial and, post trump immigration bs, there is a real possibility transfer will not go through. Also usually this takes a few weeks/months.

Reading on X employees have ensured the uptime during this current situation, and from what I read no employee wants to affect users of what we're building and what they have achieved. Will the company be the same hmm who knows, regardless I see the API's remaining stable Microsoft will make sure of that.

Yes also Azure is a good backup anyway now or anytime, you can fall over to the Azure API with a key change and a url.
I'd say so. I think phones, bikes, cars, computers, games, glasses, medicines, prosthetics, toys, houses[0], tools, food, holidays, vehicle hire, vehicle type, plane flights, etc etc are a lot better than they were even 20, 50, and 100 years ago.

Price increases are almost always unprecedented, unless they previously went down. They are now going up, but not because of capitalism. Because of Covid spending, fuel price increases, minimum wage increases, etc etc. Macroeconomic effects (that we can debate the goodness of somewhere else), but generally ones related to government rather than business. This is though a very recent view, though. Are car prices, for the same quality of car, really better now than 30 years ago? Or has a pretty relentless competitive market for car manufacturers made cars far better value than they once were?

I don't think there have been drastic quality reductions of any kind in many areas.

"Enshitification" is a very narrow view of I think online platforms, particularly VC-backed ones starting free and looking for a sustainability too late; definitely not generalisable to "capitalism".

That name is stupid and won’t stick around. Knowing Microsoft, my bet is that it will get replaced with a quirky sounding but non-threatening familiar name like “Dave” or something.
Interesting that social media's gamification “engagement” really seems to be influencing academia at this point. Also terrible news about LinkedIn apparently becoming an escape hatch?

Has LinkedIn enhanced its user interface to boost engagement, similar to other social platforms (likes, retweets, upvotes, etc?)?

Could self-publishing or “new” old school web-hosting platforms like Neocities offer a better UX for meaningful interactions - moving away from those quick “engagement” loops?

If so, how to best complement / extend such a very differently focused UX? What do we really need / omit to facilitate science / rational discussion?
Backwards compatibility may be a fundamental design philosophy of the web, but wouldn't it still be possible to support a different document format with a new programming model that gives us a clean break from the past? It's a naive question, I realize, but it's tantalizing to imagine what we could have if we went that route.

Then again, the cynic in me thinks we'd just endlessly fight over the design decisions anyways.
If the police can't gracefully handle a jerk with a cellphone, how do we expect them to behave in even more trying situations?
For sure, that makes sense to me, but it seems like Chromebooks have cornered the market for this kind of work by being cheap, easy, and targeting this demo.

Kids also don't have a great reputation with treating tech that isn't their own with respect, based on my experience in high school.
Well, yeah. I think that a well trained (far flung future) AGI could definitely do a better job of managing us humans than ourselves. We're just all too biased and want too many different things, too many ulterior motives, double speak, breaking election promises, etc.

But then we'd never give such an AGI the power to do what it needs to do. Just imagining an all-powerful machine telling the 1% that they'll actually have to pay taxes so that every single human can be allocated a house/food/water/etc for free.
>That should be corrected

There used to be a PostCSS plugin that did fix some of these, for example you could write "white-space: no-wrap"
and it would compile to "nowrap" (which is syntactically correct). I can't remember what it was called.
There is still one sort-of efficient way of embedding binary content in an HTML file. You must save the file as UTF-16. A Javscript string from a UTF-16 HTML file can contain anything except these: \0, \r, \n, \\, ", and unmatched surrogate pairs 0xD800-0xDFFF.

If you escape any disallowed character in the usual way for a string ("\0", "\r", "\n", "\\", "\"", "\uD800") then there is no decoding process, all the data in the string will be correct.

If you throw data that is compressed in there, you're unlikely to get very many zeroes, so you can just hope that there aren't too many unmatched surrogate pairs in your binary data, because those get inflated to 6 times their size.

Note that this operates on 16-bit values. In order to see a null, \r, \n, \\ and ", the most significant byte must also be zero, and in order for your data to contain a surrogate pair, you're looking at the two bytes taken together. When the data is compressed, the patterns are less likely.

Long term the way we currently do air traffic control does not scale to a much higher volume of planes. The current way of doing this is super stressful for pilots and controllers and relies on decades old technology. With autonomous planes, there will be a need for managing those that doesn't rely on such technology. ATC having conversations with some AI in a plane over a radio does not make sense.

The solution here is adding more automation and moving away from the way things have been done in the past century. Ultimately, the congestion has more to do with pilot and controller situational awareness and stress levels than with the air actually being congested.

As for physical places to land, that's a much easier problem to solve. Vtols basically need a glorified parking or some kind of field. Small planes need short runways. 3000 feet would be plenty for a lot of those. Less possibly.

Yes. Using the LLM directly is neat. What LLMs are doing to content is a massive tragedy of the commons.

I am already finding garbage listicles written by computers in all my searches now. One funny and obvious example: trying to query about a miter slot on a powertool had an article about types of slots but accidentally included casino slot machines in the list.
I don't think so. These people are at a company that may not exist anymore next week. It's right around the holidays. It's a horrible time to have uncertainty about employment. I would assume most of them would find it reassuring that there's an opportunity for a seamless transition. Just because there's an open offer doesn't mean they have to go.
This article is just about CSS not the entire frontend web stack.

Curious though, do you consider server-side-rendered components "frontend?"

What about React Server Components?
Aren't there quite a few examples of LLMs giving out-of-distribution answers to stated problems? I think there are two issues with LLMs and reasoning:

1. They are single-pass and static - you "fake" short-term memory by re-feeding the questions with it answer
2. They have no real goal to achieve - one that it would split into sub-goals, plan to achieve them, estimate the returns of each, etc.

As for 2. I think this is the main point of e.g. LeCun in that LLMs in themselvs are simply single-modality world models and they lack other components to make them true agents capable of reasoning.
> I don't think many would want to go back to an agrarian lifestyle where you live in a one or two room brick cottage, walk everywhere, till a field with a very simple, small tractor, eat only what you grow seasonally, have two changes of clothes, and own basically nothing but the bare essentials to clean and feed yourself.

You could not possibly have made it sound more attractive and compelling.
Totally agree.

It's doubly frustrating because a standard for authoring modules across browser and server platforms such as ESM is a good thing. But it's a bit arrogant to expect module authors across TS and JS ecosystems to ship overnight. Beginners may just turn to Deno or Bun simply because hundreds of coding tutorials and snippets no longer work.

Or, when you finally get a TS config that works but then you import @aws-sdk/* or prisma seeds and then you really rip your hair out.

Yes, "Where to vent the waste heat" is 100% the fundamental problem. You can't beat the second law of thermodynamics.

The tunnels have absorbed heat over the decades, venting yet more heat into the tunnels is not going to work.

Ask HN: Are there tech-focused life coaches who can help rebuild my career?
I'm a middle-aged guy with a pretty unorthodox professional background and rough upbringing. Have made a lot of mistakes in my career, burned bridges, struggled with mental health, and have not yet learned how to "play the game."

I've done a lot of personal work the past few years to sort out many of my issues, and I'm ready to reenter the arena, but am looking to do so under the guidance of a coach who can provide the mentorship I never really had – someone who can help me navigate decisions, cultivate a network, manage conflict, etc. I can no longer waffle about as the opportunity cost of directionless failure is way too high at my age (35).

I've worked in various roles in PM and design, and my goal is to eventually become a formidable entrepreneur whether sooner or later after a few years rebuilding myself.

Do life coaches like this exist?

But it is not in Microsoft's benefit that OpenAI is dead - they do not have the chops internally to compete yet (my take at least)
The premise of founding OpenAI as a nonprofit with "nobler" goals than making money was that it would be a strong magnet to the right talent. Going to work for Microsoft (or any other tech company for that matter), from that point of view, is like crossing over to the dark side of the force. It will be interesting to see how many of OpenAI's employees were there because of its nonprofit status, and how many were there in spite of it.
Agree, but a dying star creates new life and pathways from old to new. A dying snowflake, just evaporates.
Presumably, this violates MSFT's investment agreement with OpenAI. Any reasonably competent counsel would add "no-poach" protection for a strategic investor investing in a startup, and this is as clear a case of poaching as there is.
I was recently talking to a colleague of mine from Canada who needs to get shoulder surgery but there's no end in sight for the waiting.

I think it's worth it considering getting a paid surgery in a "2nd world" country, like Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia (pre-war, feels uneasy going there now) and etc.
Things there cost 10 times less and most surgeries, where hospitals don't need very advanced equipment, are probably done on the same level as "1st world" countries.

As I said on that thread: the dangers of AI will always come down to human decisions made on how it should be applied. These 'solutions' will come from the McKinseys and IBMs of the world to serve hospital CEO needs, not those of patients or care providers.

For those thinking that AI will reduce healthcare costs by improving efficiency, I point you to the 'electronic medical records' hype of 15 years ago. Are per capita healthcare costs any lower now?

As someone who's also playing through the game for the first time now, I can both see the ways in which it holds up, and the ways it doesn't. Personally I don't think the characters feel out of place in the Mario universe, since the RPGs in general tend to take a very different approach to their cast and universe than the platformers do. The Smithy Gang feel as Mario like as the Shroobs, X-Nauts, Super Paper Mario cast in general, Legion of Stationary, etc. They're not traditional Mario esque species, but they work very well for the story they're needed in.

Where it feels a bit archaic is in the gameplay side of things, simply because its successors have built on its ideas so much. The action commands and being able to block enemy attacks in battle were a novel concept back then and still work well, but the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series have taken those ideas so much further than it can feel a tad quaint by comparison. When your successors let you block/counter everything and have attacks that sometimes play out like entire mini games, having moves that require pressing a single button with seemingly arbitrary timing can feel a tad basic.

And the overworld exploration feels a bit similar sometimes, just because of how future games go full on Zelda style exploration dungeon with your abilities and how you can navigate the world with them, while this one mostly plays out more like a traditional RPG overworld map.

But it's definitely very approachable for a new player, and someone who hadn't played this in the 90s is going to get a very enjoyable experience trying the remake for the first time in the 2020s.
Its supercharging the worst in everything its applied to. Try getting a job right now. All of the automated systems that are doing screening will throw you out if you aren't 100% compatible with whatever they're looking for.
