> Construction on Watts Bar 2 began in 1973 but was suspended in 1985. Work resumed in 2007, and the reactor came online in 2016.

That seems to be common with nuclear power plants. The latest one near where I live (Angra 3) has been under construction since 1984, and it should be complete in a few more years if it doesn't pause again; construction of the previous one (Angra 2), according to Wikipedia, started in 1976 and came online in 2001.
I agree with you, but I think it's more of a philosophical topic (ie. Chinese Room argument) than something that technicians working on raw LLM capabilities usually care to engage in. For them, the Turing Test and utility in applications are the most important thing.

Personally, I don't think we can construct an equivalent intelligence to a human out of silicon. That's not say AGI is unachievable or that it can't surpass human intelligence and be superficially undistinguishable from a human, but it will always be different and alien in some way. I believe our intelligence is fundamentally closer to other earth animals descended from common genetic ancestors than it can be to an artificial intelligence. As the creators of AI, we can and will paper over these differences enough to Get The Job Done™, but the uncanny valley will always be there if you know where to look.
I'm really speculating here!

I think 3 is a good fit, since:

the K + Q (both together) represent simply pairwise importance (of tokens + positional embedding representation)

The V lifts that up one "abstraction level": K+Q alone wouldn't be able to differentiate following:

I went to the *bank* and noticed my account was empty, so I went to a river *bank* and cried.

Somehow, the V feature matrix might contain one "filter" for concept of a river bank and the second "filter" for the money bank.

I'm only starting the process of learning that, I might be terribly wrong here :)
Ask HN: Can you recommend a good virtual assistant atop of ChatGPT?
I want something that can keep track of all the things I have to do. Something that monitors the various deadlines and priorities. It should be aware of what date is today and how much time certain tasks will take. Something that I can ask what should I do next and that will tell me what I should do next. It’s not a problem if I have to enter my tasks into it, but it should understand that getting a leaking pipe fixed will probably require me to call a plumber. Of course it would also be nice if it could pull tasks, for example from email or from the calendar.

Is there anything like that out there?
Yes, this is not a great article.

Might as well complain about people with savings accounts being paid for "doing nothing".
The article specifically mentions "successfully aging" as a term to avoid if possible.
Is ship pollution really that negligible?[0] To be clear though the entire world is dependent on trans ocean shipping, it cannot be kneecapped for environmental purposes, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a relevant part of the issue.

If I were to make additional prints of some artist's work, it would devalue their limited printing. Unfair devaluing is theft.
Just ran into this when I was about to upload two new packages. Sadly, I procrastinated a bit today, so didn't get the packages out earlier. Oh well, I guess holding off before uploading to PyPI isn't a big deal. At least they work on https://test.pypi.org (it is still functional)
Same, to all those arguing in favour of Open AI, I have a question, do you steal books, movies, games ?

Do you illegally share them via torrents or even sell copies of these works ?

Because that is what’s going on here?
Couldn’t same confidence could be said for Apple’s actions? Why continue to GTM with relatively minor feature (it’s not 2020 anymore where everyone was worrying about blood oxygen due to covid) that could be easily disabled by software? My sense is that Apple is really confident that they are not infringing on that patent.
Only car. Was commuting to and from grad school, my folks place, and my apartment. I pushed it pretty far, and was able to access 240 charging in 2/3, and used 120 overnight. Admittedly did not have a kid, and my wife was able to walk everywhere during the weeks. It was a great car tho!
I think solar+battery usually also involves overbuilding the solar capacity by a lot and running some HVDC lines. A mix with nuclear and wind seems smart to me, but I wouldn't be shocked if some cloudy places successfully manage solar+batteries in combination with HVDC and/or having some easily-curtailed industries in the area.
Well, "eat" is used in a general way here to include "ruminating on cud". I would perhaps think that's more like "digest" than eat, so while interesting, to me it more says the rumination activity is more automatic than previously thought.
Can you substantiate this claim? And explicitly, the OP is not a valid example, since it is the subject of debate and that would lead to circular reasoning - I don’t see the current ruling as preferential in the least.
If you like 1984 you should check out “Prophet Song”, this year’s Booker winner. Makes 1984 feel like a kid’s book.
That's not needed, just have gaps between the panels so they provide partial shade. Many food crops can't tolerate "full sun" well, and will grow perfectly fine even with partial illumination.
This is what I've read as well.

I can't remember where, but I was listening to a guy talk about his sleep disorder and one of the main symptoms he described was being able to instantly fall into REM.
we should all start small, why not trying to get 300 dollars at the end of the next month is our starting point !!
Disney's trend of tossing in a BIPOC LGBT equivalent of "Poochie" in everything they've made in the last few years is the worst kind of pandering. It took audiences speaking with their wallets for Disney to acknowledge this, but i's going to take more than a few words from Iger to instil confidence. There will have to be a shake up at Disney and with their partners, and I would expect Kathleen Kennedy to be pretty high up on the hit list.
zsh isn't much less retro than bash is! They're, like, a year and a half apart; bash just has a special case of the GNU.

(It's wild to me that despite *gestures wildly*, zsh's release tarball is under half the size of bash's, though...)
Guilty of a crime implies an actual judicial proceeding, not an administrative proceeding. Administrative proceedings occur under the powers of the executive branch alone.
If you’re going to try to determine how China is approaching nuclear power, it’s probably more useful to look at data related to that [0], instead of drawing conclusions from tangential data.

I-131 also has some interesting history as the very first application of radioactive isotopes in a medical setting. It's used to treat hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.
Good luck with finding new books that aren’t practicing the same techniques. Unless it is directly or metaphorically confronting a hot button social issue new books do not get much recognition.
I broadly agree, but Barbie was both entertaining and very successful. It's also not a Disney movie. It would be a better example of how you can make a good, successful, didactic movie if you have very sharp filmmakers with enough pull to get it done their way.
I literally don't care on its effectivity in the general population or else, I'm so happy and grateful it's working on me.
Did you watch the new Star Wars trilogy? How about the new Mulan? If you did and did not think they were hamfisted, then I think you have a much higher threshold than most.

That still does not solve the problem of having a coherent and accurate narrative history. you’re simply acknowledging that it was cherry picked and managed, and making the point that it’s required as a practicality does not in anyway excuse or correct the bias.

It is not by accident that these things are not taught, where I disagree is that it has not been intentionally biased. We know for a fact that it has been intentionally biased and the entire purpose of the daughters of the confederacy in their drive-through the south to rename schools and erect monuments, explicitly to maintain racist history is unambiguous.

The fact that this remains, albeit it is now being undone slowly, is exemplary of my point.

It is insufficient for these significant cultural points to be casually mentioned, as opposed to intentionally acknowledged such that we can make reparations. If your position is that these things do not have remaining cultural impacts well, I don’t know what else to tell you other than that’s incorrect and again is a function of the specificity for which this history is taught.

Ruby Bridges is still alive today and there are women living today who couldn’t vote. This wasn’t that long ago.
While I 100% agree, there is another angle to consider this from, in that ChatGPT replaces reading the NYT. ChatGPT competes with it in the delivery of information.

To add to your point though, a sufficiently advanced AI trained on licensed data could reproduce copywrited content from prompt alone. It's the next step that would cause infringement where someone does something withcthe output.
My own memory of New York is that if noticed an absence of roaches in your apartment, that meant you had mice, and the mice were eating the roaches. I told a friend that (she had happily commented about not having roaches) and she looked rather alarmed. I should have kept quiet.
> costly on-site last minute design changes

I clicked through to the actual study ( https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(20)30458-X?_r... ) and I couldn't find a single sentence mentioning on-site last-minute design changes. I searched for "change" and tabbed through all of the results. The closest thing was mention of Westinghouse changing construction standards halfway through an ongoing project, which required many changes to the project design. But, that's one project.

So my question is: Is it possible that the MIT News Office can't understand MIT journal articles?
We definitely wouldn't rate limit an account for a comment like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38730194.

Edit: it looks like that rate limit was put on your account several years ago. I didn't look up what was going on at the time, but I've taken it off now.

(In the future, I think we'll probably make penalties like this expire after a while - the problem is it's not so easy to tell which accounts are still breaking the site guidelines vs. which ones are fine, short of manual review, and we don't have much capacity for more manual review. In the meantime, anyone is welcome to ask what's going on with their account and we'll always take a look and answer; and when it seems safe to remove a penalty like this, we always do.)
"Interesting" is not the word I would use for that

I'm certainly no php ninja, but I'd put good money that a similarly homegrown bash build system would be about an equal number of lines of code but 1/10000th the WTF and not require an apt-get install before trying to contribute to the project
Similar experience. Started on 0.96, used daily until about 2.x and then took a break. Came back last year and was delighted to find most of the API remained stable. Before reading the release notes for Django 5 I was expecting at least a few breaking changes for my 4.2 apps, but there's almost none.

Part of the reason I took a break from tech in the first place was the relentless upgrade cycle. Thrilled that we've solved at least a few of the problems in sustainable ways.
Storytelling is the plot. Messaging is the moral.
I tried creating a prompt for this directly in ChatGPT, but I’m afraid it will forget about certain tasks and it doesn’t know what date it is.

50 Million for the most successful open-source project(s) of all time? That is peanuts.

If you want to make money, open-sourcing your work seems to be a very hard way of doing so.
So, then, if California’s new law fails to pierce the subcontracting veil, then this arbitrage loophole is valid:

Pizza Whatever Corp outsources delivery for $X less per hour than a fast food worker would cost, either pocketing the difference in wages rather than paying it to workers as the state intended, and/or undercutting the prices of any competitors still using delivery employees.

I imagine there would be interesting outcomes from filing unpaid wages claims with the California m labor department against Doordash and other temp agencies for the difference between hourly wages paid and fast food worker hourly wages owed, when performing delivery services for fast food businesses that are in-scope for the law.
Ducks apparently do half-brain sleeping too. If I recall correctly it has something to do with sitting side by side, and that they can let the half on their brain not attached to the "look-out" eye rest.
There needs to be nuclear powered "oiler ships" that stay out at sea indefinitely and recharge passing by electric ships.
Reminds me of New Amsterdam. First season was quite heart wrenching in all the right ways, really nice storyline (lone hospital admin fights bureaucracy to provide treatment to everyone, in spite of personal issues). But they put out all the good gripping content in the first season itself, that there was barely anything to put in the subsequent ones. Instead, they resorted to preaching SJW stuff through the protagonist's different idealistic initiatives, some of which are so unreal that it's laughable in a sad way.

My ex got me into that series, but even she gave up by season 3, and she's one of the most liberal left-leaning persons I've met.
Pro Tip - if you can get cheap IPv6 host cloudflare proxy will work for you as well for IPv4 as they will handle it.

You setup only AAAA record and you are reachable from IPv4 as well as much as other cloudflare caching benefits that you get.
Challenging this axiom is why when I think of the threat model I face traveling from place to place, I come to the inevitable conclusion that I am very likely a target of assassination attempts.

Consequently, I ensure that my motorcade of armed guards are always with me, and accept cars loaded with only the toughest reinforced glass. I am, of course, paranoid about physical proximity to strangers and that mostly incentivizes me to avoid public travel, particularly flights (though even my private jets must be carefully maintained only by my most trusted insiders lest they find themselves tumbling out the sky near Tver). When flying on particularly important trips I send a decoy plane, and I make sure that air space near me is well controlled.

Or maybe, just maybe, I don’t actually face the same threat profile as presidents, spy agency bigwigs, and leaders of paramilitary organizations, and pretending I do is an act of high fantasy that far from empowering my true human soul would be so ridiculous as to make life unlivable!
I was thinking of you set the solar up high, to create a diet of canopy, then you might be able to grow a rain forest under it which doesn't like direct sunlight and would allow animal habitat...?
I've used all of these services and they all have problems. I can't say that those problems are due to "excessive regulation." In the case of healthcare, for example, most of the problems come from insurance companies who allegedly operate in the free market. I am strongly in favor of business, zoning, and environmental regulations because they provide valuable function.

Moreover, none of that is relevant to nuclear regulation. I asked for a specific example of an overly burdensome and unnecessary regulatory rule.

Also, some insight into how I think about personal projects plus some mind-blowing (to me) ChatGPT4 abilities.
They did, because they detected it using their network monitoring stack.
It would also be great if you could help me breakdown tasks, so it tells me what the first mini step instead of immediately giving me the whole laundry list. I think that’s really useful to come back procrastination and the fear of getting started.
The point I was making is that China isn't inclined to do things just to appease some regulatory requirement. They are also building an incredible amount of Coal power.
> New cars are generally a luxury good.
Man, I sure hope the next Fiat Punto Grande MK <n+1> costs less than that raggedy old Porsche in my garage!

Brainwashed and absolutely wrong.

A new car doesn't have to be advanced. Give me a comically simple car. Weak. Mechanic. Bare minimum electronics. Whoopsie! Price is low as dirt.

Electric cars have been around for A LOT longer than the popularised EVs of today. They were weak, perfect for cities. But they have all but disappeared and no one's heard of them today.

But, that's not where corporations make money. And they only need to market it so people are convinced there is no alternative.

Not building out nuclear has an huge opportunity cost: fossil fuel plants kill people every day from pollution. Excessive nuclear safety regulations cost more lives than they save by slowing the transition away from fossil fuels.

(Example: the Vogtle plants were delayed in part because the NRC decided, after having previously approved the design of the plant, to change its mind and require that the plant be able to withstand a jetliner impact. https://www.ans.org/news/article-1646/root-cause-of-vogtle-a... )
The whole story starts with them detecting the anomalous network traffic, so not sure what you think they did wrong.

I learned to never let people dictate rendez-vous points at landmarks or stations if I can.

It never makes sense. If it's a landmark or sizeable train/bus station there must be a cafe or a park with notable features nearby. If it's in the middle of nowhere there will be a bench at an easy to describe place.

Telling people to stand in wide and potentially crowded areas for a significant amount of time if they dare coming early is just cruel.

Is it? My job as a frontend dev is similarly threatened by OpenAI, maybe even more so than journalists'. The very company I usually like to pay to help with my work (Vercel) is in the process of using that same money to replace me with AI as we speak, lol (https://vercel.com/blog/announcing-v0-generative-ui). I'm not complaining. I think it's great progress, even if it'll make me obsolete soon.

I was a journalism student in college, long before ML became a threat, and even then it was a dying industry. I chose not to enter it because the prospects were so bleak. Then a few months ago I actually tried to get a journalism job locally, but never heard back. The former reporter there also left because the pay wasn't enough for the costs of living in this area, but that had nothing to do with OpenAI. It's just a really tough industry.

And even as a web dev, I knew it was only a matter of time before I became unnecessary. Whether it was Wordpress or SquareSpace or Skynet, it was bound to happen at some point. I'm going back to school now to try to enter another field altogether, in part because the writing is on the ~~wall~~ chatbox for us.

I don't think we as a society owe it to any profession to artificially keep it alive as it's historically been. We do it owe it to INDIVIDUALS -- fellow citizens/residents -- to provide them with some way forward, but I'd prefer that be reskilling and social support programs, welfare if nothing else, rather than using ancient copyright law to favor old dying industries over new ones that can actually have a much bigger impact.

In my eyes, the NYT is just another news outlet. A decent one, sure, but not anything substantially different than WaPo or the LA Times or whatever. How many Pulitzer winners have come and gone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Breaking_Ne...

If we lost the NYT, it'd be a bit of nostalgia, but next week life would go on as usual. They're not even as specialized as, say, National Geographic or PopSci or The Information or 404 Media or The Center for Investigative Reporting, any of which would be harder to replace than another generic big news outlet.

AI, meanwhile, has the potential to be way bigger than even the Internet, IMO, and we should be devoting Manhattan Project-like resources to it.
