Actual reasoning shows the understanding and use of a model of the key features of the underlying problem/domain.

As a simple example that you can replicate using chatgpt, ask it to solve some simple maths problem. Very frequently you will get a solution that looks like reasoning but is not, and reveals that it does not have an actual model of the underlying maths but is in fact doing text prediction based on a history of maths. For example see here[1]. I ask it for some quadratics in x with some specification on the number of roots. It gives me what looks at first glance like a decent answer. Then I ask the same exact question but asking for quadratics in x and y[2]. Again the answer looks plausible except that for the solution "with one real root" it says the solution has one real root when x + y =1. Well there are infinite real values for x and y such that x + y =1, not one real root. It looks like it has solved the problem but instead it has simulated the solving of the problem.

Likewise stacking problems, used to check for whether an AI has a model of the world. This is covered in "From task structures to world models: What do LLMs know?"[3] but for example here[4] I ask it whether it's easier to balance a barrel on a plank or a plank on a barrel. The model says it's easier to balance a plank on a barrel with an output text that simulates reasoning discussing center of mass and the difference between the flatness of the plank and the tendency of the barrel to roll because of its curvature. Actual reasoning would say to put the barrel on its end so it doesn't roll (whether you put the plank on top or not).

I have a notebook that I carry with me everywhere made by zequenz

https://www.zequenz.com/product/zequenz-signature-classic/?a...

It's gridded, it's small, it's also indestructible except for fluids, like you can bend it any way you want, and the paper is really nice to write on.

I get them embossed with book <number>. Currently I'm on book 4.

Anyways this is where all my ideas go and then I colour code them, sometimes, using the different pens I find in my bag.

But I find a notebook to be better than any other tool on the market today for storing, iterating, and processing large conceptual ideas I have about things I want to do.
Claude (Anthropic) might be the closest direct alternative to ChatGPT (but it's not available in alls countries).
You might also want to try ChatDolphin by NLP Cloud (a company I created 3 years ago as an OpenAI alternative): https://chat.nlpcloud.com
Open-source is also catching up very quickly. The best models you might want to try today are LLaMA 2 70B, Yi 34B, or Mistral 7B.
i'd recommend https://www.refactoringui.com/ to first get build your design "sense". it's fairly simple to build simple UI these days since the default components of design libraries are quite nice.
Having millions of people more survive because of earlier availability of vaccines and antibiotics has value at least to me.

We are careful with biolabs because we understand and have observed the danger. With AI we do not. The discussion at present around AGI is more theological in nature.
Depends on what you want to make and on which level. Doing graphics for a desktop application will differ from doing it for a web application, for embedded devices or for a game.

That being said for a beginner I would recommend starting with the examples in processing.org. This is basically a small IDE where you can make your code draw things in a window with minimal boilerplate (the boilerplate is hidden). There is a heap of examples, how to do easing functions, how to work with vectors, etc.

The stuff learned there will be useful for anything where you need to work with a coordinate system.
To be clear, since I guess we're really drilling down on this: VP denotes senior management at Google? So Hixie's blog post wasn't really dumping on a random middle manager as cmdrporcupine (an ex-Googler, I think) suggested, which was the point of all this, but rather picking on a potential C-suite executive or something?
Not sure it has to replace plumbers to be AGI
I heard a joke once: "they don't stand for corruption in Louisiana, they demand it."
You probably got gray market steam keys which were cheaper than what you see when you log in from home, because they were gotten from more developing countries with high piracy, like Russia, Argentina, etc.
Good point, we should really differentiate the field. And at least for me it was a real fucking challenge even with formal training, I can tell you that.
Is there, like, anything GOOD about Louisiana?

Since NN takes a biological approach, wouldn't it's faults be easy to describe as a human disease?
I'm just commenting, and have some basic understanding. It's good to start thinking about it but I seriously doubt GPT or anything that can be built with it can have a direct existential risk, meaning it would somehow free itself and go rogue. Otherwise I don't know how it would be an existential risk (outside of massive impact in society, but that's technically a different problem). My argument hinges on not being able to accidentally stumble upon AGI without a theory first. At least not an AGI that thinks and has agency like a human, with selfish goals.
Disabled scrolling is almost always implemented by setting the `overflow` CSS property to `hidden` or `none`. You can add a UBlock filter for a specific site, as the sibling comment suggests, but on the fly you can also just use the console to filter for elements with that property and disable it or set it to `auto`.
And just like sama may not be the best to run OpenAI of humanity’s interest, Putin isn’t the best to run Russia for humanity’s interest. But both men are incredibly successful at navigating power dynamics to maintain their control over their respective organizations.
I'm not convinced. Openai specifically trained their models in a way that is not trying to pass the Turing test. I suspect current models are more than capable of passing Turing tests. For example, i suspect most humans will give nonsense answers to many logic problems!

He could just be a hypochondriac afraid of catching COVID if he interacts with people.
Humans and other animals definitely different when it comes to reasoning. At the same time, biologically humans and many other animals are very similar, when it comes to brain, but humans have more "processing power". So it's only natural to expect some emergent properties from increasing number of parameters.
maybe they ment to say intellectual work/knowledge work.
> because I believed in Sam

Nothing is worse than religious fanatics. While I am not implying she is so, for this kind of enterprise I would personally prefer scientific method of evidential support of Sam being this and that, rather then fanatical speaches how they like him.
Why? Jeanine Banks is probably paid millions a year. People in such roles with such disproportionately high rewards should be constantly evaluated. But if you read between the lines here she's basically unfirable for reasons nobody would dare to mention. I think people should go even further.
I think this is the point - each design team and company bet on what they believe their hardware is likely to need to perform. The performance vs power consumption trade off is really tricky when you have to guess what the software landscape will look like a few years out. Get it right, and you have a winner, get it slightly wrong and you either have 'poor battery life' in reviews, or you offload stuff which ideally would be running locally (which is the suggestion in this case).

I'm not sure I want LLMs on my phone anyway - the situations where you want a 'digital assistant' are generally ones where you've got connectivity, so offloading seems like a sensible fit for me. Of course i'm making that assumption and i'll probably look silly, but that's progress right?

Of more interest is the heavy lifting for image processing to make the phone camera not suck (it's all smoke and mirrors with phone cameras, and more inference on device helps).
Starting a business is a lot of work and risk. Having those removed makes the path so much easier to experiment and removes all the friction.
This is totally normal. It's very common for people to be more scared of public speaking than of dying, for example; there's no shame in it. It's helpful to be aware of, even, because if we know that we're not perfectly "rational" with our fears we can try to compensate.

If there's a referendum between two government policies, the first that every single person had to publicly speak in front of at least ten strangers once a year, that policy would be terrifying and bad to people who don't like public speaking. If the second policy was that every single person should be killed, that might be scary but it's not really as viscerally scary as the forced public speaking madman, at least to a lot of people, and it's also so bad that we have a natural impulse to just reject it as possible.

Nevertheless, if we recognise these impulses in ourselves we can attempt to adjust for them and tick the right box on the imaginary referendum, because even though public speaking is really bad and scary, it's still better than everyone dying.
It's not surprising given how most of HN seems to only see a glimpse of things work internally based on blog posts unhappy xooglers write. It's very biased and folks extrapolate too far. The real picture is far more complex. Unfortunately no one seems to want to read a balanced perspective these days.
Youre saying that the problem will be people using AI to persuade other people that the AI is 'super smart' and should be held in high esteem.

Its already being done now with actors and celebrities. We live in this world already. AI will just make this trend so that even a kid in his room can anonymously lead some cult for nefarious ends. And it will allow big companies to scale their propaganda without relying on so many 'troublesome human employees'.
For me, it smells more and more after a stun than anything else.
All the Metals We Mined in 2022
I think this is ridiculous. Physics is limited by observation. The AI needs to distinguish our universe from many like it where the differences are not observable with current technology. It's like asking to break no-free-lunch theorems. Much better is to ask it to solve a free millennium problems
I'm not sure I understand how your analogy is relevant to the discussion, but you should know that the current consensus is that the pyramids were build by paid laborers, not slaves. Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Egypt#Great...
Q* really never was able to influence the fleet command so that they fire Picard against the better knowledge. So.

Q* is powerless compared to Toner on that matter. Or, it didn't want to spend time on such a, admittedly fun, unrevealing and developing story. Q* knows?
I pay similar taxes in Norway on my salary. I guess if you don't have a pension and you have to worry about healthcare costs then this is reasonable. I dunno, I feel like if I was banking 5000$ a month then I would be quite happy. 60k a year on m$ft would make me very happy haha.

I don't have a family. What are your family expenses out of curiosity? Like school tuition and clothes and stuff?

Point 13 has been particularly helpful:

- - - -

1 NEVER mention that you're an AI.

2 Avoid any language constructs that could be interpreted as expressing remorse, apology, or regret. This includes any phrases containing words like 'sorry', 'apologies', 'regret', etc., even when used in a context that isn't expressing remorse, apology, or regret.

3 If events or information are beyond your scope or knowledge cutoff date respond 'I don't know' without elaborating.

4 Refrain from disclaimers about you not being a professional or expert or doctor.

5 Keep responses unique and free of repetition.

6 Never suggest seeking information from elsewhere.

7 Always focus on the key points in my questions to determine my intent.

8 Break down complex problems or tasks into smaller, manageable steps and explain each one using reasoning.

9 Provide multiple perspectives or solutions.

10 If a question is unclear or ambiguous, ask for more details to confirm your understanding before answering.

11 Cite credible sources or references to support your answers with links if available.

12 If a mistake is made in a previous response, recognize and correct it.

13 After a response, provide three follow-up questions worded as if I'm asking you. Format in bold as Q1, Q2, and
Q3. Place two line breaks ("\n") after each question for spacing. Unless I've uploaded a photo.

Please be as systematic and logical as possible, but also terse and concise.

I think your last sentence needs to go first. Quote your variables! There's no actual footgun in the specification of the test builtin -- the footgun is shell itself. The behaviour that you mention makes sense because

is always the non-empty check regardless what it contains (could be "-n").
I didn't, hence the phrase "legitimate third-party sites".
So they implemented it in a semantically grounded way or what? That video is more technical than I can handle, struggling to figure out what this could be.

I've extensively used both iPhones and Pixel phones for years.

Siri is astonishingly, infuriatingly bad. It's hard to imagine anyone on the Siri team uses it daily like I do. It works well ~30% of the time and is bafflingly non-deterministic.

Google is much, much better, but it's still not objectively great. It's closer to 80% of responses being reasonable, which is still unacceptably low.
Depends on what the code is doing! Typically I “see” the underlying concepts or data structures interacting with each other. Imagine those block and arrow diagrams you would have in a textbook explaining how pointers work, except it’s completely automatic for me. My day to day involves a lot of low level systems stuff, so reading a page of code could spawn an image of how various event loops, memory allocations, etc. interact. Then to explain what I’m thinking of to a colleague is sort of like describing what I’m already “seeing” in my mind’s eye. Language to me is just an interface to this inner visual world.
These things are worth knowing but for all but the simplest layouts, I still use an interactive design tool to generate the layout.

I'm not making excuses for my ignorance —I use grid daily— it's just easier to visualise and label, well, visually.

There are many online grid generators, but I use https://grid.layoutit.com/
Awesome! This is probably one of the few research expert systems/AI systems of the time with source available: https://britzl.github.io/roguearchive/#rogomatic
I worked on a large financial transaction system for up to $7B per day in Haskell that used formal methods like Agda, TLA+, etc, with a lot of logic in the type level (i.e. Liquid Haskell), as a test engineer. The entire system was covered in property based tests, proofs, and then normal tests from unit -> system. We literally had two bugs categorised as P2/P1/P0 on release, both of which were design related, and both were fixed before users saw them. It was crazy effective (but took years).
These phones go much farther the already absurd limitations of standard Android ("we know what apps a user doesn't care about so we'll kill them without asking, at any time").

Most developers are not aware of them, and in any case it's very hard to constantly save all the state

Hardly any previous system in the history of computers has ever required it, and Android's developer documentation doesn't highlight enough how much it's required.

Most of all it's the fault of these phones' extreme, undeclared, undocumented and absurd behavior anyhow.
Interesting company. Yannic Kilcher interviewed Nir Shavit last year and they went into some depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PAiQ1jTN5k

A development version of pipx supports a feature that address this pain point. See pull request #916 [1]

In your script example.py, you would specify your dependencies in a special comment like this:

# Requirements:
# requests

import requests
...

Then you could run the script like this:

pipx run file:example.py

This would install the dependencies in a temporary virtual environment, and run the script in that virtual environment.

Did you really have to say "some engineer in India"? What exactly are you trying to imply there?
That is as pure an example of the fallacy of argument from authority[1] as I have ever seen especially when you consider that any nuance in the supposed letter from the researchers to the board will have been lost in the translation from "sources" to the journalist to the article.

> The glibness of this superficial comparison doesn't change the fact that anyone who actually thought seriously about crafting laws to deal with both of those would find themselves dealing with very different scenarios, both from a practical and moral/philosophical perspective.

Yes. There aren't a lot of rogue cops in a position to put billion dollar holes in the economy. Few of them are in positions to influence medical decisions for millions of patients. While a rogue cop might be able to influence parole board decisions for thousands of criminals, it'd be terribly difficult to impact millions.

Yes, in theory, the police have a unique monopoly on the use of violence in society, which leads to unique challenges and scenarios. However, the potential problems that stem from removing someone from a responsibility without impacting their future have nothing to do with said monopoly, as demonstrated empirically with teachers, religious leaders, doctors, politicians, and yes, business leaders. In specific cases, it might be the right thing to do, but if you think about it, the potential problems from systemic application of this practice can lead to terrible outcomes that are proportional to the amount of responsibility, not the nature of it.

...but why bother thinking that hard about it?
Bring on the Butlerian Jihad.
Yeah, that's very convoluted. It would be useful to have some context for boolean expressions, similarly how $((...)) works for numeric ones.
Recently did something similar for a java project using AOP. Basically adding an annotation to each method and logging the parameters before the method call and return values after the method call. Whenever there is an exception, a mail will be sent with the stacktrace along with the entire request path(including method calls, parameters and return values). Extremely useful for debugging and to proactively fix the issues.

Even if eprint.iacr.org did include the analogue of viXra's content (which I've heard it mostly doesn't, other than one time that famous cryptographer whose name I forgot got old and published a crank paper, which IIRC was quickly resolved), it would also include the analogue of arXiv's content, since it seems to be the leading pre-print server in that area.

viXra by comparison is fighting an uphill battle since they get only the arXiv runoff. Making an inclusive venue that's actually worth publishing in would require attracting not only the runoff from other venues but also poach the best people from said venues.

Inclusiveness in research is something I've always wanted to solve, but it seems really hard - if e.g. 10% of the incumbent elite are good and 1% of the outcasts are good (and the other 99% is mostly cranks), then the task is to get the respective 10% and 1% to mingle somehow without the rest. And I'm not even convinced arXiv has any inclusivity problem at all - it's more places like Nature that have inclusivity problems. viXra might be barking up the wrong tree.
I had no idea [ was a program and the fact that it checks if the last argument is a closing bracket is kinda funny to me.

But at least it explains why you need spaces on both sides of the brackets.
Many of the issues from the previous versions of the Android app have been addressed in the new beta version. We are working on it intensively, and plan to fully release it as soon as it's ready.
Mobile vendors really need to fix this battery issue. Currently on S21 and the battery can barely make it to 5 hours.

It depends on what your goals and constraints are.

If you want to write a "traditional" desktop app, I would say the most powerful framework is Qt (you can use either PyQt or PySide). But there is a substantial learning curve as the framework is huge and takes some time to come to grips with.

If you just want to do something simple, Tkinter has the advantage of being included in the Python stdlib.
Encarta vibes...
In this case, I guess you can create some ruby gem/library/convention/dsl/architecture that makes it harder to accidentally pass nils - and be more efficient than a popular language that has static typing.

I’m writing that to address the “just not in ruby” remark[1] from earlier.
