News startup The Messenger shuts down after pricey launch
Maybe I should've added some more details, but I'm also interested in general.
For me, I have 2 kids, one is 7 years old and the other 1 year old.

I know reading peer-reviewed papers would be very difficult, and I don't plan on reading a ton of research papers, but there is so much information out there from people that aren't educated or in a position to give out information..
I would like to know where I can read opinions from well known psychologists perhaps or other professionals that read and rely on peer-reviewed papers.

What I have in mind is something like how Andrew Huberman (the podcast HubermanLab) talks about various subjects and gives advice on certain health topics, while referencing research papers and studies on the subject, but on subjects related to parenting.

Some of the subjects that interest me are: suggested nutrition for young kids, how to develop healthy sleep habbits, toys and games that have healthy developmental impact on kids, effective punishments/rewards systems, good sources and ways to teach kids math/science/physics, effective ways to deal with ADHD, and more..
> we could stop down voting comments that make objectively true philosophical arguments like postingawayonhns

(postingawayonhns: "We can at least conclude complex life is exceedingly rare.")

I wouldn't have downvoted a comment like that (or the comment you made). In fact, there's a large part of me that grudgingly agrees with you both. It's sad to think about and worthy of discussion.

I did a quick search because the other part of me - the one that doesn't want to believe we are alone in the Universe - had to find... hope.

The article I linked wasn't just a reply to OP but it's something I, myself, found eye-opening. I wasn't aware about the 3D map and the limited number of stars we've reached at this point. Especially the expected number of star systems we're expected to reach in the next 5,000 years (it's quite low a figure).

It was disheartening but helped hammer home just how vast the Universe is. It also leaves the door open for the hopeful...

My reply was meant to help drive discussion forward. (Downvotes suck and can change the way a message is received).

The belief that adult brains can’t change after childhood has been debunked. There are dramatic changes in the first two years of life our brain never loses its ability to form new connections and most children with iPads are older than 2.

Neuroplasticity as a concept is challenging but even when Torsten Wiesel was sewing kitten and cat eyes shut the adults could adapt. And the claims that the kittens rewired more are problematic.

The neurons originally attuned to the closed eye did not acquire new functions, they heightened their response to the input from the open eye.

The responses were always there. Just at low levels.

Free time to to dedicate for building tactic knowledge is the main limiter for adults and not hard wiring.

‘ipfs add’ pins the file by default, not sure if that’s recent behaviour though.
Yeah this is exactly my experience with IPFS. Nobody actually uses IPFS directly, and even those few that do never actually pin anything because it's an extra step.

(Also I heard it's computationally costly, but I am not sure if it's true, I can't imagine why it would be the case actually.)

As a result it's actually more centralised than web, there are like 3 pinning services that everyone uses. At which point I don't get the extra hoops.

Fun fact: auditory signals are the fastest path to human reflexes, way faster than vision. I forget the exact numbers, but visual reactions are on the order of 300ms whereas auditory reactions are sub 100 IIRC. Feel free to correct me if anyone can find numbers.

So all those blind fights in the matrix cartoons or daredevil are sill, but not quite as silly as you might have expected. There is actually a significant reaction time advantage. But good look hearing a sword swing at your face vs your leg lol
Looking at the wikipedia page, I think they were built irl. They have many pics comparing “xenobots generated by a computer” to their “created in real life” analogs.

That’s just what I got out of reading the page though, so I would be glad if someone with more subject knowledge could either confirm or deny the correctness of my understanding here.
Lets go with speed tape then.

> Speed tape is an aluminium pressure-sensitive tape used to perform minor repairs on aircraft and racing cars. It is used as a temporary repair material until a more permanent repair can be carried out. It has an appearance similar to duct tape, for which it is sometimes mistaken, but its adhesive is capable of sticking on an airplane fuselage or wing at high speeds, hence the name.

To me, it feels like some type of "pleasure center" trigger. I was talking to a psychologist once and what she said resonated with me. We were/are both middle-aged and she said something to the effect of, "When we were kids, our games were, at best, a '7' (out of 10). These days, all popular entertainment is a '10+.' Hard to compete."

I asked this same question in an interview to an ex Redhat employee interviewing for a Linux Admin role and their answer was that they didn't know what SystemD was.

As a dyslexic person, I can assure you that reading is not a universally enjoyable activity. You should enjoy your gifts, though. I do enjoy a good walk.
Me and several friends have used ChatGPT in live interviews to supplement answers to topics we were only learning in order to bridge the gap on checkboxes the interviewer may have been looking for.

We’ve all got promotions by changing jobs in the last 6 months using this method.

You can be subtle about it if it’s already an area you kind of know.

This is actually quite surprising considering how many DAWs there are and most of them are also graphically intensive. I don't think audio industry is somehow bigger.

My wild guess would be that audio attracts a lot more programmer types and there is more demand for engineering. With graphics the engineers and programmer types are in 3D. Nobody really cares about writing type rendering engines and pdf parsers.
Ok come on, this has gotta be a regulatory capture
stunt. None of this is surprising or particularly dangerous.

You can do this for literally any topic. Choose something
lawmakers are scared of, write a scary paper showing how GPT (“research preview only” of course) can assist with it, and make big vague statements calling for an urgent need for more safety work in the area. Since uncensored GPT will talk about everything, this works for every topic!

Make no mistake folks, the OpenAI “safety” budget is entirely about PR and squashing open source AI.
It sounds like the problem is really that this is the most obvious cheater. Someone better at manipulation and deception might do a better job cheating the interviewer such that they're hired but then be entirely inadequate in their new position.
Going to be extremely opinionated and straightforward here in service of being concise, please excuse me if it sounds rough or wrong, feel free to follow-up:

You're "not even wrong", in that you don't really need to worry about ratio of input to output, or worry about inducing hallucinations.

I feel like things went generally off-track once people in the ecosystem turned RAG into these weird multi-stage diagrams when really it's just "hey, the model doesn't know everything, we should probably give it web pages / documents with info in it"

I think virtually all people hacking on this stuff daily would quietly admit that the large context sizes don't seem to be transformative. Like, I thought it meant I could throw a whole textbook in and get incredibly rich detailed answers to questions. But it doesn't. It still sort of talks the way it talks, but obviously now it has a lot more information to work with.

Thinking out loud: maybe the way I think about it is the base weights are lossy and unreliable. But, if the information is in the context, that is "lossless". The only time I see it gets things wrong is when the information itself is formatted weird.

All that to say, in practice, I don't see much gains in question-answering* when I provided > 4K tokens.

But, the large context sizes are still nice because A) I don't need to worry as much about losing previous messages / pushing out history when I add documents as when it was just 4K for ChatGPT. B) It's really nice for stuff like information extraction, ex. I can give it a USMLE PDF and have it extract Q+A without having to batch it into like 30 separate queries and reassamble. C) There's some obvious cases where the long context length helps, ex. if you know for sure a 100 page document has some very specific info in it, you're looking for a specific answer, and you just don't wanna look it up again, perfect!

* I've been working on "Siri/Google Assistant but cross platform and on LLMs", RAG + local + on all platforms + sync engine for about a [REDACTED]. It can nail ~every question at a high level, modulo my MD friend needs to use GPT-4 for that to happen. The failures I see are if I ask "what's the lakers next game", and my web page => text algo can't do much with tables, so it's formatted in a way that causes it to error.

Depending on your salary and experience, hiring a contract developer/freelancer could be an option. Europe is quite a bit cheaper than the US salaries, has plenty of skilled people that have a good education and level of english.

> The standard for free speech in America is that if you're not calling for imminent and specific violence, then you're in the clear.

Legally, yes. Socially? That's never been the standard. There is no principle in the US that says everybody has to be cool with anything people say short of calling for imminent violence.
I don't even know how I managed to do this, but I got this:

Yes, that’s correct. Good correction.

You're off by at least 3 orders of magnitude.

There are 18 million undergrads in the US alone. I would bet that at least half have some sort of basic bio lab class and can use a lab, or has a friend that does and would let them in. There's zero security in undergrad bio labs.

Many of those claims are premised upon currencies, which declined dramatically in value in that tumultuous period leading up to the petition date,” the lawyer said. Many customers and creditors “won’t feel like that’s true payment in full from where they started,” the lawyer added.
Yeah, the article is bullshit.

Serbian Wikipedia is far worse in that regard.
Oh, I'm not suggesting you are wrong. I'm just saying it's easy to overlook the detail.

Note they got kicked out of that country

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Facebook

would have been kicked out sooner had they not been complicit in the genocide. It does really excuse them but any company that takes a stand against that sort of thing is likely to get banned. Hypothetically a company like Facebook could choose ‘exit’ and walk away with clean hands, the open source developers of something like Mastodon have no recourse of any kind if those tools are misused.

I don’t question their complicity so far as it goes but I don’t know if anyone could have done better. Should Microsoft have turned off Microsoft Word for them? Should Qualcomm or other telecom vendors have shut off their phone network because they were misusing patented technology?

Sometimes I think genociders and quasi-genociders play ten dimensional chess and the rest of us are playing one dimensional tic tac toe. That is, our corporations think a quarter ahead, our governments an election ahead. They think ahead for hundreds or thousands of years that it will take for their enemies to be truly forgotten (e.g. when Poland was partitioned the parties had a secret treaty that ‘Poland’ would never be talked about; Austria-Hungary sure thought Austria-Hungary would be around longer than the Polish people.). You’d better believe Israel looks back to 2000 years ago when they got kicked out by the Romans and are similarly willing to wait a few hundred years to completely expel the Palestinians and erase their memory if it takes that. (Ironically if they hadn’t been kicked out by the Romans they might be forgotten now except for their contribution to ancient literature.)

Now maybe if the petroleum industry grew a backbone we could send a country like that to the stone age.
To be honest, I think in the future we will interview people on their ability to work with an LLM. This would be a separate skill from the other ones we are looking for. Maybe even have them do some fact checks on a given prompt and response as well as suggest new prompts that would give better results. There might even be an entire AI based section of an interview.

In the end, it's just a new way to "Google" the answer. After all, there isn't much difference between reading off an LLM response and just reading the Wikipedia page after a quick Google search, except for less advertisements.
There are also some of us who are just not great at demonstrating intelligence by narrating our thought process while under an adversarial spotlight with a timer running.

I realize there are time/resource problems on the interviewing side, but I'd be happy to have conversations that are as long and technical as it takes for an interviewer to feel like they've found bedrock.

Whether they pass me to the next phase or not, it's frustrating to spend 30 minutes or 3 hours trying to start a fire by rubbing wet twigs together and never get to walk away feeling like I've communicated more than a few percent of what I bring to the table.

Again, never mind '100% perfect security'. This was not any kind of security at all. Thus, the old saying.
btw - I like the article you shared here, and would love to find more sources of information like that.

Specifically regarding potty training and diapers though - I've heard that before (don't remember where), but since diaper money isn't a big issue for me, I would rather go with more 'modern' diapers and have the convenience that comes with that over cotton diapers (or no diapers at all) and have my kids potty trained earlier.
But it's still very interesting and important to know the story behind it.
I've never understood the meaning behind "prompt engineering". Has it ever been anything beyond "can you clearly and accurately describe the problem you are trying to solve or the task you are trying to accomplish?" Seems to be basic communication skills.

I've never seen hard data that certain "formatted prompts" like, "you are a B doing C and need to do D" being any better than any other sorts of clear and concise instructions.

Mind boggling to me that people have created a new name for what used to simply be called good communication skills... though I suppose the eternal stereotype of engineers being poor writers might be more truth than fiction.
The US has a Common Law system so case law is as important as code (or even more so). The question isn't whether there's "a law", the question is whether there have been cases fought over it and what the outcome was. That seems harder to google.

Likewise I have yet to hear a coherent legal justification for the idea of the "state monopoly on violence" that doesn't boil down to a just-so story invoking the fiction of the social contract (even the US only grants a limited exemption to this via the second amendment and even that still uses the context of "militias"). But even in Civil Law systems that doesn't mean the state won't act as if it is a thing and base legislation on that assumption.
“A fool” is beyond dramatic.
As anyone in automotive should know: you make them last longer because the people who buy a new car every 3 years can only afford to do this because there is a lot of trade in value left in the car. If the car was dead and worthless in 3 years they would be forced to buy much cheaper cars.
> OpenAI researcher Harri Edwards tells Quartz that the idea for letting the AI agent flip through channels came from a thought experiment called the noisy-TV problem. The static on a TV is immensely random, so a curious AI agent could never truly predict what would happen next, and get drawn into watching the TV forever. In the real world, you could think of it as something completely random, like the way light shimmers off a waterfall...

This is a great thought experiment but they're using the wrong metric. Animals are wired to seek information, not noise. We understand that there is nothing to be learned by absorbing noise.
How are you implementing a simulation using constructions that can not be described mathematically?

If it can't be described mathematically, it can't be simulated mathematically.

And if it can be simulated by a computer (i.e. mathematically), then it can be described mathematically, and the computer isn't adding anything to the experience of any observers inside the universe.

The LLM that powers this is surprisingly well trained (for what it is doing). I don't know if it's using a pre-existing one, but if you open dev tools and find the api you can play around with any combination of things.

Just as an example, I put in "Protestant" and "Spiritual Experiences" and it gave "Pentecostal" which is exactly right, and I didn't expect it to know that. Now I have to find how to get that in the game.
A decade ago I would have agreed with you. But then I discovered the topic of five-symmetries and my absolute favorite non-toxic non-stick pans are coated with that alloy (not long ago deemed impossible) that has the five way symmetry.

Thanks, that's very interesting. I would have assumed that with today's world of distributed database being so common, and with the various technologies available, lots of people would be interested in hiring experts in ensuring database work as advertized.
