Oh yes.

If the PHD was the thing you could hyperfocus on, because reasons ... you could still fight with i.e. paying your utilities late because ADHD made it that you just didn't and then there was a pile of stuff and you didn't want to deal with that pile even more ... I am on meds for last 6 months and the feeling of "oh, I can just make myself do things, no big deal" for the first week of medication was wonderful. Honeyoon period is now over, but it is still nice...

Like, I turned to psychiatric help, because in that year before I got medication I didn't do anything at work ... didn't click with a new team, I think. I have ~successfully worked as a dev for 10 years and have masters in computer science. Was lucky. I realised this was probably first year I was working on a thing I didn't care about. But afterwards I had many realisations like "normal people don't account for late-fees in their budget, they just pay on time" ...
I did the same - booted my own multi-tasking OS in x86 assembly, with osdev.org and alt.os.development being extremely helpful!

... but did you have to call it the 1900s LOL :)
>It's inevitable that this question ends up at the supreme court. And the sooner the better IMO. It's clearly fair use. Generative agents will be seen legally as no different than a human artist leveraging the summation of their influences to create a new work.

This is a hacky workaround for medium with limited capabilities, but I like it.

The proper way is of course to actually use format/tools/apps with builtin feature for such needs, as addressed in the beginning of the landing page. There is initial cost for adopting it, but if you actually doing it regularly (novelist/journalist/programmer) it would make more sense in the long run.

In the end its about tradeoff. If your medium is limited and you only need it for once in a while, this format is simple & clear. But for more frequent uses I think this format is costly to maintain compared to using specialized tools/apps.

Except if you do that, you will see the number of content producers plummet quite quickly, and then you won't have any new training data to train new LLMs on.
- Thunderbird is probably the best e-mail client around
- Blender is one of the best options for 3D rendering
- Linux is the best kernel around
- Firefox is for many the best browser you can find

There are several examples of OSS being best in class, it's just not the best in every class (yet, at least).
I started doing rucking in Venice, Italy. (a ton of fun)

My worry for rucking is the potential issue of back problems. I haven't seen a serious study on how weight should be properly distributed.

An advantage of landing in spam is that the user still has a choice and is in control. Rejecting outright is a "lalalala I can't hear youu!!" type of stupid situation that only big providers can get away with, without the users realizing their bigcorp is the one with delivery issues
Yes, they disconnected the seller from their product pool, so you can no longer 'trust' the seller as AFAIK they have no control over which product from the SKU pool gets shipped to you. Once a scammer gets subpar/fake products into the SKU pool, everyone is screwed as the connection between delivery into the warehouse and selling out of the warehouse pool is completely dark. This creates a race to the bottom condition.
Messaging is Disney's problem. Their writing quality has gone to hell because they systematically promote and protect executives/writers who see films as a mere vehicle for spreading their message, not for telling a good story.
What will happen in this case is that large content providers will get paid directly and smaller content providers will get rolled up into a licensing bag and get small indirect payouts. For example, we might see a model where people who's books have been used will get a pay out proportionate to the sales of the book (perhaps), so if your books sells just a few thousand copies expect $20 but if you sell millions expect $20k

LLM's will become more expensive and less attractive as money printers, this will screw with the business models of the direct provision folks like OpenAI, MS and Google, MS and Google will only shed tears for money spent while OpenAI will just not have as good an income stream until they think of something new.

> No one banned nuclear.

Sometimes, when your employer wants to fire you but doesn’t want you to be able to file for unemployment or accuse them of firing you for some legally impermissible reason, they just make it so miserable to keep working there that you end up quitting. There is a legal term for this: “constructive dismissal”. I hope the implied analogy is obvious.
Neat little project, but you can pass HTML tags directly into the chat! <script> doesn't seem to run, but <img> can load from external sites. Be careful!
sure, but if I use an LLM to write a novel/article, I can be sued in civil court not the LLM.

but, more importantly, OpenAI can also be sued for tortious interference? (basically the civil equivalent of accessory)
My impression is that it’s not necessarily legal, but going after bloggers and proving damages based is just a huge waste of their time. OpenAI came by with their fat stack of funding and changed that.
With electric cars, demand is that simple. They can be hooked up to the grid and charge whenever the prices drop down to zero. This is already done. And then it is an individual decisions to either just use the charge to drive or even put part of it back into the grid or for you own home usage, when the grid prices are high. And more and more houses start to have battery storage.
But we can probably compress the data very well (e.g. "double delta" is always zero), and then decompress only needed parts.
agreed, in places like sweden pv is pretty limited. even the netherlands, the uk, and germany have remarkably little sun; pv capacity factors in all three countries are around 10%

Copilot has been way more useful to me than GPT4. When I describe a complex problem where I want multiple solutions to compare, GPT4 is useless to me. The responses are almost always completely wrong or ignore half of the details I’ve written in the prompt. Or I have to write them with already a response in mind, which kinda defeats why I would use it in the first place.

Copilot provides useful autocompletes maybe… 30% of the time? But it doesn’t waste too much as it’s more of a passive tool.
>But if you simply ask for a summary of a specific article by, say, just name and date, and you get a copy of it, it's clear that GPT is storing the original data in some way, and thus it has copied the NYT's protected works without permission.

In this particular case they were using it via Bing, which actively did a HTTP request to the particular article to extract the content. So GPT hadn't memorised it verbatim, instead it fetched it, much like a human using a search engine would.

Under existing condition an AI news site seems like a good investment idea. Its AI could read all relevant news sources and retell them and republish them in its own articles. It could even have its own AI editors and contributors. Cannot see how human news companies could compete.

No it doesn't, that's what the AGPL is for.
It would be a huge gamble if the "0$ version" (e.g. GitHub repo) gets more popular that anticipated and the one with the bigger price tag not growing accordingly and the whole risk calculation falls apart.

There is always the possibility to only offer the priced version, even if it is free software. Someone else could of course redistribute it and then it would be their responsibility. That would be a less convenient world.

An open question certainly also is, when it becomes a product? Source Code alone (inredients)? Or executable form (usable)?

> It’s the owner’s responsibility to the rest of society to supervise their animal

The rest of society isn't present in the hair salon. Only a select few. If someone objects sure keep the dog leashed, but if no one does I don't see the point. You can't live your life placating hypothetical people who might possibly get upset.
I don't know if I'd go as far as calling it serious, but...

I have a string of 150 individually addressable RGB LEDs on a fake tree in my living room. It's controlled by an ESP32 (running ESPHome). I started generating little animations for different times of year (in the form of ESPHome light effects). I ran into a few problems:

- The edit/compile/flash/debug cycle was painfully slow.

- Expressing the animations in C++ sapped inspiration.

- Some parts of the animations are more computationally intensive than others, so getting consistent "frame rates" was difficult.

That "frame rates" bit made me realize these are just little videos with 150x1 pixel resolution. Now I write the animations in Python on my laptop and that code has two backends. One renders to the screen for quick iteration on the animations. The other plays one cycle through the loop of each animation and emits the results as C++ arrays and some variables (e.g., name, desired frame rate, etc.). Then the only other C++ code needed is the logic for passing the array data to the LED library.

There is no compression or anything else fancy. I can fit about a dozen animations with 100 to 200 frames each on a $4 microcontroller with Wi-Fi. They start almost instantly when applying power, and they play at a very consistent frame rate. The highest I have tried is 60 fps and that is no problem.
>Cannot see how human news companies could compete.

News ultimately comes from physical sources on the ground, which currently AI has no way of doing.
1) Read the ToC carefully to see what each chapter is about. Identify which chapters/sections are about "Concepts/Ideas" vs. "Implementation/Technology".

2) Read the book's Foreward/Preface/Introduction where the author(s) often lay out a plan of action for reading the book. This will give you the dependencies among the chapters and which are the most important so that you can decide on your path of action.

3) If the book has appendices/introductory chapter which lays out some needed background knowledge refresher in Mathematics/etc. read these first.

4) Go through each chapter's beginning introductory section and last summary section in sequence for all the chapters. Now you have an idea of what each chapter is about (motivation and summary) even though much is still unknown. Mark/Underline/Annotate key points/terms as needed.

5) Now from (1) & (2) you have a set of chapters/sections dealing with the fundamental "Concepts/Ideas" which is what you now start studying in sequence. Have paper and pencil handy to mark/underline/annotate the text and take notes as needed. You could use "SQ3R" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQ3R) and "Cornell Note-taking method" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Notes) as techniques.

6) Make another pass over (5) to better grasp the "Concepts/Ideas". For difficult to grasp subjects this might not be enough. Make a note of why; perhaps you still lack some needed background knowledge/Mathematics which you need to brush up on. Make sure you don't go too deep into tangents; sometimes it can be treated as a black box i.e you just need to know "what it is" and "how to use it".

7) Now with some understanding of Concepts/Ideas in hand go through the chapters sequentially looking at the "Implementation/Technology" sections. Follow and understand the logic of the solved examples/code snippets/etc. This will help cement your understanding.

8) Make another pass over (7) but now also work out some exercises from each chapter as needed. A lot of folks get hung-up on this in the early stages which is counter-productive. Only when you have some idea of the concepts involved will you find the motivation to do the exercises. Obviously, for Mathematical subjects this is of higher importance but even here go according to your comfort level and needs/wants.

Finally, keep in mind that Reading/Studying should be positive/enjoyable so that you keep doing it. Work around anything that makes you anxious/demotivated so you never get into a negative mental state when you think about studying. Your memories of learning should always be pleasant.

That is an apples to oranges comparison. An article about a video/book would have the relevant information in text form without needing to show the video "here is the new stuff shown in Apples 2 hour long WWDC keynote". If not is common that a comment in the discussion gives a summary as a tl;dr

With text articles behind paywalls the relevant information is hidden and only hinted at as a teaser.
We developers like to pretend that LLM's are akin to humans and that they've been using things like NYTimes like humans as educational material.

But they are not. It's much simpler, proprietary writing is now integrated into the source code of OpenAI, it would be as if I would copy parts of other propriety code and copy paste it into my own codebase. Claiming copy paste is a natural evolving process of millions of years of evolution.

The fact that LLM's are so complicated and we don't know where it is, doesn't make it less so.

I would indeed know by people disappearing: I know plenty of colleagues, family members, and friends, that a 1-in-10 statistic ought to manifest itself. It is impactful enough to do this type of bed care that I would also certainly hear it if one of those colleagues/family/friends had to take care of another person, and for a subset of those, where I'd hear if anyone in their extended circles had such a need. When MH17 was downed in 2014, carrying ~300 Dutch (on ~17 million, 0.002%, compare that to the percentages we're talking about here! That's 3.5 orders of magnitude), it seemed like everyone in the country knew someone who died; for me, it took a few weeks but it turned out that a friend vaguely knew someone who had died in the Russian attack. I also know some elderly people who died from covid, so those stats line up with experience to within error margins.

The discrepancy probably lies in the "have had" part you mentioned. The majority of this group were never as severely ill as the person this thread is about, nor had any issues lasting this long. I know one person who said they got tired faster for a few months after contracting covid fairly early on, but it's not like their life was ruined (during that time, they partially stopped doing the sports that they enjoyed so that they had the energy at work and for household chores; afaik that was the main change it forced upon them beyond the first two weeks).

That is not to say long covid, or severe long covid, doesn't happen or to downplay the impact on those to whom it does happen. Diana is an undeniable example. I'm just disagreeing with the "you've got at 15% chance of »a debilitating, fully disabling, long-term illness with no known cures or mitigations« per infection, and the odds worsen further with every reinfection" part. That severity level is not quite that likely

> An LLM doesn't do this unless you ask it to. And if you then take that output and publish it as your own, you're breaching the copyright, not OpenAI.

In this case, OpenAI is violating copyright by modifying, reproducing and distributing copyrighted content to its customer.
no no, I totally get that. Its not a comment on poor floridians, it more a comment on the state of the State. Its a sign of a dysfunctional state that fails to enforce a basic safety feature.

But you can create a self-modifying function that, ‘for speed’, adds each case when it is called.

The initial function should start with checking for special cases NaN, infinities, 0 and -0, then do (may not be valid JavaScript)

if((x++ === x) && (x—- === x)) printf("even\n");

to handle cases over 2^54 or below -2^54, then do

isOdd = true
neg = x
pos = x
while(true) {
if(neg++ === 0) break;
if(pos-- === 0) break;
isOdd = !isOdd
}

to determine whether x is odd or even in isOdd. Doing the self-modification is left as an exercise.

This is good defensive programming. It avoids doing a tricky division by 2.0 that might be buggy (I don’t think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug was affected, but who knows what other FPUs do?)
Would you spend a lot of time and money on contractors to do an often disappointing job, or ask a LLM to do a better job immediately?

> it would be as if I would copy parts of other propriety code and copy paste it into my own codebase.

It's not copy-pasted; it's compressed in a lossy manner. Even GPT4 has nowhere near enough memory to store the entirety of its training data in a non-lossy compression format. Just likes how humans compress the information we read.

I never understand why we bother so much about environment and sustainability but in same time accept low quality products and prefer buying new one instead of repair it if even possible.

Make products last long and make them repairable should be priority for all manufacturers. But... It's not make profit I guess.
Well, at the very least give a short summary of what you are linking to.
So that would mean articles from the 1920s, provided that the authors of those articles have been dead for 70 years, or longer in some other countries.
The thing is jump tables re absolutely used for this kind of thing, namely when the function doesn't have an easy closed form. It should be noted half of the joke is the fact he uses subsequent if statements in order to exhaustively check each number rather than a jump table.
> The most comparable example is if you were hired as a contractor and the employer asked you to write verbatim some copyright content you'd memorised. If the employer then published it, they'd be the one liable, not you.

No, you'd both be liable. You are not allowed to create copies of a copyrighted work, even from memory, for any commercial purpose. Making it public or not is irrelevant.

This is more obvious with spftware: if I copy a version of AutoCAD that my previous employer bought and sell it to another company, or even just use it for my current employer without showing it to anyone else, I am violating the copyright on that software, and I am liable. Even though obviously no "publishing" happened.

Similarly, if you hire a decorator to paint Mickey Mouse on the inside walls of your private kindergarten, the decorator is violating Disney's copyright just as much as you are, even if neither of you has made that public.
Commercial airliners crash into mountains even with the ground proximity warning actually.

Out of my memory, in Nepal alone all of the following happened despite ground proximity warning Tara Air 197 in 2022, Paki 268 and Thai 311 are some I can think of but I'm sure there's more.

Problem is: even if GPW is activated pilots may not be trained correctly to handle the warning, they may distrust the warning due to it being active concurrently with other malfunctions, lack of spacial awareness, puzzlement/stress, etc.
France has a lot of water power which helps with balancing the grid and Germany never had more than 30% of nuclear in the mix, so basically little load following was required. Also, both countries, as most industry nations, tried hard to shape the consumption to be constant over time. Like extra cheap electricity in the night which lead to heating systems which would electrically heat up over night and dispense the heat during the day. Also, the European grid helps a lot with balancing, electricity is constantly traded and exchanged between the countries.

You are right, my bad. Thanks for clarifying it.
I had acute cognitive problems on my first infection that were really scary.

I remember playing chess with my girlfriend on the 5th day, after losing smell and taste, and I looked at the board after our openings and... Simply couldn't make sense of how the pieces moved, why I had positioned them the way they were, I couldn't connect past thoughts and make a plan, I simply lost the ability to "connect the dots".

It scared me shitless, a huge wave of anxiety of how the fuck I was going to be able to work if that persisted, my whole job is to connect the dots, predict the future, and for a few days that was simply impossible. I cried a lot from that fear.

Can't really imagine how it's for someone to have this brain fog persistently, it was so disorienting, sad, and scary.

In countries with private energy generation perhaps. Energy production is at least partially nationalised (or at least heavily regulated) in a lot of the world, which puts those places in a much stronger position to plan for such events.
I would argue that code generation is a form of metaprogramming, no opposition here.
