I agree with you. Being a corporate department head, I've led exactly one project that's had me digging through my DS&A textbook. But it's much more common to need to go beyond the limits of an off-the-shelf deep learning algorithm. Plus many of the cutting edge deep learning advancements have been fairly simple to implement but required serious effort to create, and being able to understand an Arxiv paper can have a direct impact on the job you're currently working on, whereas being able to read all of TAOCP will make you a better coder, but in a more abstract way.
I totally agree with you. I use the analogy exactly because of the differences in the solution to it that you point out and that, at this point, it seems like an impossible problem to solve.

The only solution is to not allow LLMs access to private data. It's definitely a "garden path" analogy meant to lead to that conclusion.

These were handled very differently.

For the most part those were independent subsidiaries, under the same brand but playing with their own set of rules.

They commonly had different lineups entirely, for instance the Ford Focus was created in cooperation by the british (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_of_Britain) and German (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Germany) teams of Ford of Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_of_Europe), and while the Focus was designed as an international car, it is the direct descendent of Ford of Europe's first passenger car the Escort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_(Europe)), which itself directly descends from Ford of Britain's Anglia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Anglia).

I think this is possibly true, but if it is, it blows GPT-4s use of "tools" out of the water. GPT4 browsing the web is much slower and doesn't feel as well-integrated. It feels about the same speed as me opening the page myself and reading it. Whatever Gemini did, it was significantly faster.
You send it a WoL packet[0], use key-based SSH to log in to the initramfs environment[1], and type in your password. Or if you have a TPM you can just stick encryption keys there. Do note that if the device lacks secure boot or such, this is vulnerable to an attack where the initramfs is modified to steal your password; how bad this is depends on your threat model.

What I am confident on is there won't be significant societal change with that level of evidence. Most of those health issues have "easy" reasons they can be associated with (right or wrong), and it's going to be tough convincing people that in vitro effects are enough reason to significantly curtail (nevermind ban) plastics.
Don’t mean to be flip at all, may I suggest:

1. Use Gpt-4 with something like this:

“Help me understand what this paper is about and estimate whether the relevance and impact to the field is likely to be low, medium, or high.

Explain jargon that may be specific to AI research, but don’t bother explaining or expanding on terms familiar to a working software developer or basic undergraduate computer science.”

2. Follow the above prompt with either the abstract or the full text of the paper.

3. Post something useful here and save others the time.

Doesn't seem to be possible. I tried a variety of real people (Tom Hanks, George Bush, George Washington) and each time got the error "This image can't be generated. Please try something else."

I got this little iPod nano-shaped Chinese Mp3 player[1]. It plays music and uses .m3u playlist files that are easy enough to edit on your PC. You can even set bookmarks in MP3 files so if you have a large audiobook file, you can save your place in it. It has some idiosyncrasies (such as not playing songs in order by default; the alphabetization is weird) but the killer features are: it's small, and I have literally never once run out the battery. I do charge it occasionally, but even after several hours of hiking, the battery indicator is at 3/3 bars.

It takes a micro SD card so you can load music however you want and then just plug the SD card in

> You could boil plain water and be safe, but that wasn't understood until later

Not sure that's true. We have evidence that ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans (and I assume other societies) understood that boiling water made it safer to drink. Basic sand/gravel filters.

Hypocrates for instance described a method of boiling water and then filtering it through a cloth to purify it and remove "bad smells".

To be fair even if you have no clue about bacteria it's not a particularly complex concept to understand. If for instance pre modern people truly drank beer because it was safer surely at some point one of them would've asked the question why is that the case?

If they actually took the effort to investigate as needed? It would take them even more.

Expecting them to actually sit and watch the video and understand meme/joke talk (or take you at face value when you say it's fine)? That's, like, crazy talk.

Whatever size the team is, they have millions of flagged messages to go through every day, and hundreds of thousands of appeals. If most of that wasn't automated or done as quickly and summarily as possible, they'd never do it.
The "video game crash" was a drop in capital, not revenue. Sales of Atari games continued to grow up until the introduction of the NES in 1984. But investors lost faith in the industry because sales didn't meet the wildly overstated forecasts made in 1982.

Atari saw a lot of unsold inventory returned to them and orders cancelled at the end of 1982 because of overproduction. This is what Nintendo was trying to avoid with their licensing requirement. Retailers were promised that they wouldn't have to overbuy game stock. Nintendo introduced artificial scarcity into the gaming business, something they probably already knew from their card game history. If you limit the supply it creates increased demand which keeps prices high.

Almost everything you said is wrong, except the requirement to get car insurance. There will always be a car insurance company willing to do business with you, they'll simply charge you higher rates if you have no other options. (It's called "high risk" auto insurance.)

TSA Pre-check is operated by the federal government, but I assume you mean the LiveScan portion of the application process?

The national parks are run by the NPS. The concessions are run by concessionaires. If you piss off Aramark, you might not be able to buy anything from their restaurants...until you switch credit cards. But they have no control over banning you from the park because the NPS rangers control park entry. Also, concessionaires only operate some of the campgrounds in national parks; in Yosemite Aramark only operates the "lodging" facilities (i.e., hotels and the fancier tented campgrounds).

> Output sanitization makes sense, though.

Part of my job is to see how tech will behave in the hands of real users.

For fun I needed to randomly assign 27 people into 12 teams. I asked a few different chat models to do this vs doing it myself in a spreadsheet, just to see, because this is the kind of thing that I am certain people are doing with various chatbots. I had a comma-separated list of names, and needed it broken up into teams.

Model 1:
Took the list I gave and assigned "randomly..." by simply taking the names in order that I gave them (which happened to be alphabetically by first name. Got the names right tho. And this is technically correct but... not.

Model 2:
Randomly assigned names - and made up 2 people along the way. I got 27 names tho, and scarily - if I hadn't reviewed it would've assigned two fake people to some teams. Imagine that was in a much larger data set.

Model 3:
Gave me valid responses, but a hate/abuse detector that's part of the output flow flagged my name and several others as potential harmful content.

That the models behaved the way they did is interesting. The "purple team" sort of approach might find stuff like this. I'm particularly interested in learning why my name is potentially harmful content by one of them.

Incidentally I just did it in a spreadsheet and moved on. ;-)
All you can eat within reason is certainly lame.

"AI".

Uh, I'm betting rules like that are a simple regex. Like, I was explaining how some bad idea would basically make you kill yourself on Twitter (pre-Musk) and it detected the "kill yourself" phrase and instantly demanded I retract the statement and gave me a week-long mute.

However, understanding how they have to be over-cautious about phrases like this for some very good reasons, my reaction was not outrage but lesson learned.

These sites rely on swarms of 3rd-world underpaid people to do moderation, and that job is difficult and traumatizing. It involves wading through the worst, vilest, most disgusting content on the internet. For websites that we use for free.

Intrinsically anything they can do to automate is sadly necessary. Honestly, I strongly disagree with Musk on a lot, but I think his idea that new Twitter accounts cost a nominal fee to register is a good one just so that it makes accounts not disposable and getting banned has some minimal cost, just so that moderation isn't dealing with such an extremely asymmetrical war.

I think another problem today is that startups do not truly differentiate. They try to be a mini Google. Startups in the 90s were much more brash. Look at Apple's ads against IBM for example. Everything has become far more tame these days. So why join a mini Google when you can join the real Google instead.
That rule is as a result of bad things happening while walking alone at night.

I know what you’re talking about, I just don’t think you realize how such things become rules. We very rarely, if ever, create preventative rules, and when we do the rules are terrible because we don’t know the issue well enough.

> They didn't knew about bacteria and wouldn't have had the theory to explain why it would help.

That didn't stop say, the sterilization effects of silver from being widely known and spread across myths.

Fewer people got sick when they drank from silver cups and silver stuff. They didn't know a thing about bacteria, but enough people drinking from enough different cups and suddenly a pattern emerges that forms the basis of a myth or legend.

> We know that People generally knew about basic hygiene and applied it even if they lacked modern theory.

Soap and its effects to destroy common pathogens (viruses and bacteria) wasn't known... but "Hygiene" became a thing as early as 400BC Roman periods because of similar patterns.

The theories we have today summarize centuries or millennia of collective experience. Not the other way around. We don't need to understand bacteria to discover how useful soap, boiling, or silver/anti-bacterial surfaces are. Instead, we use our knowledge of "silver prevents sickness", "soap prevents sickness", and "boiling prevents sickness" to help us discover a grand theory of microorganisms / bacteria.
I'm all for thematic forums and aggressive censorship/ban for everything that falls [outside of the whitelisted/inside the blacklisted] themes.
More importantly, why wasn't that possible in 1998?

CPU independent DMA engines have existed since 1995 or earlier... DMA engines can typically be controlled by a queue of work, and can read/write to anything memory mapped. The work units themselves can be in memory mapped space of the GPU or network adapter, allowing those devices to queue up work too. And the DMA transfer can be triggered by any interrupt source too (initially intended for things like sound cards to have a tiny buffer be frequently refilled by the DMA engine without CPU intervention).

Basically, hardware has supported this forever. It is software that is lagging.

It probably depends on the company, the 'tier' of companies or your level. After reaching 'staff', the bulk of time spent in interviews is on the behavioral side, which is literally storytelling.
