Can it generate an image of people without injecting insufferable diversity quotas into each image? If so then it’s the most advanced model on the internet right now!
> What should the result be? Should it accurately reflect the training data (including our biases)?

Yes. Because that fosters constructive debate about what society is like and where we want to take it, rather than pretend everything is sunshine and roses.

> Should we force the AI to return results in proportion to a particular race/ethnicity/gender's actual representation in the workplace?

It should default to reflect given anonymous knowledge about you (like which country you're from and what language you are browsing the website with) but allow you to set preferences to personalize.
Higher bandwidth but lower capacity. The real trend is different physical architectures for different compute loads. There is a place in AI for bulk albeit slower memory such as extremely large date sets that want to run internally on a discreet card without involving pci lanes.

This announcement only mentions safety. What else do you expect to talk about?
By compensation I mean from the companies creating the models, like OpenAI.
It’s not untrustworthy because it’s offensive, it’s offensive because it’s untrustworthy. If people think that Google is trying to rewrite history or hide “misinformation” or enforce censorship to appease actual or perceived powers, they’re going to go elsewhere.
So it's just fancy words for safety (legal/reputational) for Stability AI, not users?

In heads up no-rake NLHE where GTO exists: do you agree that anyone playing GTO has nonnegative EV against any player regardless of their strategy?

I agree with you that you can probably construct some pathological multiplayer situations where collusion forces negative EV on a "GTO" player - assuming GTO exists in this setting.

Going back to the original parent comment:

> If you have a table full of clowns who are playing a range of strategies (ranging from being spiteful to just all-ining every hand, to barely knowing how to play poker), you will very quickly go broke with GTO, because you didn't adjust.

I feel pretty strongly that this is not representative of practical reality. I don't believe that caveats about implicit collusion against a GTO player should prevent one from calling out a harmful belief that is also provably wrong in the heads up setting (the setting where GTO is actually known to exist).

In practice, I have never seen anyone who played remotely close to Nash have negative EV against very bad players. On the other hand, I have heard a hundred times someone complain that they are losing money because their opponents are "too bad" (for their presumably excellent strategy to work as planned). This is close to ridiculous in most practical settings and also quite self-limiting.
Exactly, the limits imposed can sometimes be liberating. You can't build an ugly form in Typeform. But there's currently no real opposite to the Typeform approach, where you can essentially just design your form any way you see fit.

We noticed that this pain mostly echoes within the (UX) design community. Hence the tight integration with Figma as well. Target audience are (UX) designers in tech companies looking to build anything ranging from onboarding forms to feedback surveys.

It's so cool seeing this on the HN homepage! Hey folks, I'm the solo creator of Polypane, the web browser for developers.

This latest release has a new feature called Portal, that lets you share your localhost with any device (local network or through a randomly generated public URL).

That's cool but what's new compared to other similar tools is that anything you do in Polypane, like scrolling, clicking and typing, but also our layout debugging and any editing you do in the Polypane devtools also happens in all of the connected browsers, so you can quickly test fixes across rendering engines, or share your localhost with a team mate and suggest changes on the fly.

Hope you all check it out :)
When ELF notes reveal too much
A cheap way to solve a problem has always been throwing more compute power at it.

Figuring out new algorithms is monumentally more difficult than more hardware, and even then when more efficient algorithms are found, we throw more hardware at it and get a million times more done.
You can set up the same thing you would have locally on some spot cloud instance.
The editor will kinda work for individual mdx files, just not collections. I guess you could try the following to see:

Obviously not super useful at this stage, especially since I haven't figured out mdx support in Codemirror yet.

I can probably get collections to work though in the next few days. I'll let you know.

1.5 is still more popular than xl and 2 for reasons unrelated to safety. The size and generation speed matter a lot. This is just a matter of practical usability, not some idea of the model being locked down. Feed it enough porn and you'll get porn out of it. If people have incentive to do that (better results than 1.5), it really will happen within days.
This looks cool but I moved all my repos to a self-hosted forge when GitHub openly and notoriously refused to stop collaborating with ICE (that runs concentration camps in Texas).

I would compare it to when I was taught how to build my own compiler. Taking away the magic was empowering. Later on I saw many opportunities to use the some of the basic compiler techniques, even though I'm not out there writing the JDK.

If you had to pick, building a project using off the shelf tech would better prepare you to work your first AI engineering job. However, the knowledge in these videos could help you land that first job, and is a useful base for concepts that aren't going away any time soon.

No model. Half of the announcement text is “we area really really responsible and safe, believe us.”

Kind of a dud for an announcement.
Oh, I do not disagree at all. I'm very pro nuclear!

Defaulting to extreme skepticism and caution towards any technology that dangerous is not a bad starting point though.
My experience exactly. I think the DRK (Don’t Repeat Knowledge) acronym (not my invention) is a better target. Too often people mistake similar structures of code as “repetition”.

Instead, if you focus on not repeating the important “knowledge” of your code (algorithms, business rules, etc), it’s easier to avoid the trap of over-abstracting.
Probably because memorizing/regurgitating facts/data was straightforward and easy to quantify performance. (And was arguably more important in the absence of the Web and Google.)
I agree with both GP and you.
> If you ask generative AI for a picture of a "nurse", it will produce a picture of a white woman 100% of the time

That's absolutely not true as a categorical statement about “generative AI”, it may be true of specific models. There are a whole lot of models out there, with different biases around different concepts, and not all of them have a 100% bias toward a particular apparent race around the concept of “nurse”, and of those that do, not all of them have “white” as the racial bias.

> There is a couple of difficulties in solving this.

Nah, really there is just one: it is impossible, in principle, to build a system that consistently and correctly fills in missing intent that is not part of the input. At least, when the problem is phrased as “the apparent racial and other demographic distribution on axes that are not specified in the prompt do not consistently reflect the user’s unstated intent”.

(If framed as “there is a correct bias for all situations, but its not the one in certain existing models”, that's much easier to solve, and the existing diversity of models and their different biases demonstrate this, even if none of them happen to have exactly the right bias.)

Good idea, I should add that. I need to generate some challenging data sets to illustrate things, which is why I left that out (I wrote this all in one shot and didn’t want to stop to generate data).
> I don't know who convinced you of this notion, but it's 100% horseshit.

Marrying an American and observing the massive cultural differences between our families convinced me of it.

> You absolutely are just as much of an American as anyone else living here.

Only if you’re using “american” tautologically to refer to “American citizenship.” And even then, the Constitution recognizes that naturalized citizens are less American than native-born ones, since we can’t run for President.

> America as a country is founded on the contributions of all of the people who moved here.

America is a country founded by British colonists. The country’s legal and political system, and most of its culture, comes from that founding population. Depending on the geography, there’s an overlay of German, Dutch, Italian, or Spanish culture. In specific areas, Americans that are part of the Jewish diaspora have had a significant influence. The influence of almost everyone else is localized or superficial. E.g. you can get Vietnamese or Thai food almost everywhere in the country, but the influence of Vietnamese or Thai language, culture, religion, etc., in American society at large is close to zero.

When people in my home country think of an “American” they think of people of British descent. They don’t think of Italian immigrants. Similarly, if you relocated the population of say Bangladesh to the US, and gave everyone US citizenship, they wouldn’t suddenly become “American.”

Culture matters, and a population’s culture is extremely durable: https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=35594 (“In The Culture Transplant, Garett Jones documents the cultural foundations of cross-country income differences, showing that immigrants import cultural attitudes from their homelands—toward saving, toward trust, and toward the role of government—that persist for decades, and likely for centuries, in their new national homes. Full assimilation in a generation or two, Jones reports, is a myth.”). The American founders clearly recognized as much when they created a distinction between native-born citizens and naturalized citizens and wrote it into the Constitution.

Video sets up a situation where GTO player is bluffcatcher vs nuts or bluff. He has negative EV with those cards in that spot, not negative EV marginally.

If a GTO player has negative EV in heads up poker, he is not playing GTO.

Because the adults don't have consensus over the big picture.

Think about modern events, if you said something about the resolution of a political outcome that either hasn't reached an outcome or it happened over the last 2 years, you are invalidating half of the population and invalidating yourself from it too. And I’m not just talking about elections, I’m referring to territories and everything.

And the reality is that there is almost never a decisive outcome about that resolves the conflict. A bigger conflict happens and prior grievances are put to the way side. The people don't feel that way.

I routinely meet people that say they’re from Mexico, but are referring to a long established city in California that Mexico lost 170 years ago. And I ask some of my Mexican friends about that person and some invalidate their activism and others agree. Never saw that before living in California.

so, talking about some events that occurred is safer than saying the outcome. the book doesn't get rewritten over and over again, just a safe way of teaching something gains consensus. How many parents complained, oh zero, I guess we’re good now.

Here is actual research on bimetallic standard : https://www.elibrary.imf.org/view/journals/001/1995/144/arti...

I understand not everyone is interested in the French Victorian era, but if you try to sell the gold standard (btw it ended in 33 and not 71, Bretton-Woods was a clever post ww2 bastardization of the original), you ought to know what came before, what came after, and why. I do not know about post-WW1 history (I read Paxton at most), but considering your interest, you can narrow your field of book to read by limiting it to trade and economics from 1820 to 1980.

The 30 year era of free banking was like the past 8 years in cryptomoney+nft world, a few legitimate ideas, a lot of scams, legit idea that ended up like scams, and almost any city worker had to participate. I only read incidentally about the US on that time period, so maybe my vision is skewed, but you have to read about it if you want to speak about it.

Highways now seem to be a driving force for the populations in the outlands. Perhaps small towns along the highways get a few restaurants and gas stations for business while small towns not on the highway disappear.

I’ve had good success with ChatGPT and with Copilot, but I’ve found it really depends on how I use it and my expectations.

It is NOT good at generating complex functions or code but simple cases and I do not use copilot for “comment driven development” as my experience with that wasn’t good.

I use it as a fancy autocomplete, I use it to explain code, I use it for refactoring code (eg it’s good at tasks like “change all variables backed to snake_case”), I use it to provide api usage examples for functions, I use it to generate basic docstrings (which I then hand edit to add the detail I need), I use it to point out flawed in code (it’s bad at telling me if code is good, but it’s pretty good at spotting mistakes if the code is bad).

I’ve also used it to generate functions or algorithms that I wouldn’t have been able to do by myself and that includes complex SQL (TimescaleDB windowed queries), in an iterative process. I find the best results are when you generate short snippets at a time with as few requirements as possible but with as much detail on what you’re asking for as possible, and then it’s an iterative process. You also need to guide it, it works if you already know how you want to approach it and just want the AI to figure out the nitty gritty specific details. I’ve used this to generate a concurrent bitset-based memory allocator. I don’t think I could have done it by myself.

I’ve also had success generating little Python scripts in their entirety, although to get the exact behaviour I wanted was a process of repeatedly pointing out problems and eventually noticing it was not where the LLM was editing. So it’s important you understand every bit of code that it generates and don’t accept code until you’re certain you understand it.

As an example of a recent script it generated for me, it reads a TOML file containing a table, it looks for a key that you specify as a command line arg. It then generates a CSV for all keys it finds. Eg it turns this:

[test.a]
x = 1
y = 2
[test.b]
x = 3
z = 4

Into this:

x,y,z
1,2,
,3,4

It did this a lot faster than it would have taken me to do it myself.

I’ve also had good experience using ChatGPT to do pros and cons list of approaches or do some basic research for new eg into algorithms (now that it can search the web).
