100%. I didn't expect much from it going in. Was more curious to know how good/bad it might be and, really, whether it could play at all.

>But, I mention it here because it illustrates the disparity between understanding/reasoning (LLMs bad) and semantics (LLMs good), per the subject of the thread.

LLMs can play chess (links above) so i'm curious if you still have this opinion.
Solid gold.
It seems like a wonderful opportunity to talk about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_obsolescence and DRM's effect on society's cultural memory. Even the most long-lived individual or most successful of corporations has a finite lifespan, and we have no societal escrow for the digital media which becomes a part of our lexicons. IA seems to be taking that roll, regardless. It would be nice if we could work out a framework within which to make it official and sanctioned. Copyright is a social construct, not a law of nature, and at least in theory we could band together and change the terms. Unfortunately, artificial scarcity is behind a lot of business plans.

The real pro-tips are always in the comments.
I am glad studies like this exist but "we subjected human data analysts to 100 trite data analysis problems with unambiguous solutions, without any surrounding context or personal/professional incentive" is going to overestimate the relative efficacy of LLMs. Certainly one advantage they have over humans is that they don't get bored with SQL 101 questions.
> I hope you are not on a jury trying a child rapist and blaming the parents as 100% at fault.

I just want to remind everyone else that saying something like this to another human being is an incredibly ugly thing to do, and it is only because the bar for "acceptable discussions" online is so low (that it's underground) that people feel comfortable saying crazy things like this to each other.

Like, I'll be honest, if someone came at me with this "child rapist" line after I said "Liability should be 100% on the parents", that would be my cue to immediately stop interacting with that person. Less reasonable people would throw their drink in your face for saying something like this, some people would even punch you.

Talking to other people like this is not okay, there are better ways to make your point.

(And no, I do not believe "Liability should be 100% on the parents", but I would never accuse someone of letting a predator off the hook just because they have that opinion.)
Seems like the point of this article missed a lot of people entirely, since they are so fixated on consumer inkjet printers. That's a very specific case of inkjet printing, but inkjet technology is way more than that.

For example continuous inkjet printers are used to label packages of many items you buy every day. There's also research about inkjet printing wearable electronics etc. None of which has a lot to do with HP.

Google is falsely marketing its products. YouTube Kids has extremely toxic stuff on it. Google Classroom allows extremely toxic stuff as well.

Google markets this as safe for kids. It’s not. That’s false marketing.

It’s a lot like Chrome Incognito. It doesn’t help much with privacy, and last I checked Google was getting I some kind of trouble over that.

Google certainly deserves condemnation for this.
Public servants not following the laws to the letter can introduce legal risk. If OP had somehow found the right person at the DMV high up enough to do something about this, they probably could have, but giving discretion to bend the law at even a 'manager' level might be too much of a risk for the state.

Ok, sure, maybe not all animals would feel that way, but I think probably all mammals or at least the smarter ones (relatively speaking). If dogs "want" to be pets, it's for the same reasons cows "want" to be farm animals, but it would be far-fetched to say a cow wants to be slaughtered and eaten. Sure a pet dog is not food, but compared to their wolf ancestors, they are far from their ideal natural state (if they have one at this point, which I guess is arguable, just like with cows).

I guess I'm mostly pointing to a double standard between pets and farm animals. I eat meat, so I'm not advocating for any solution on either case here, just making an observation that potentially we are farming animals for more than food, and there aren't any movements advocating for the release of pets or alternatives to animal companionship.

And when public schools create an account on Google for a child? And require active use of the account as a condition for receiving an education?

Is the school responsible for that?

The state I’m in guarantees the right to a free state education. If that right is predicated on my child having a Google account, is that my fault as a parent?
Could you tell us what DIMMs you're using? I thought Rowhammer-free RAM was a thing of the past, but if some manufacturer has fixed theirs to be immune, they deserve the extra sales and publicity.

I think that's a bad comparison, though I see the point you are making.

Height is determined by your genes, yet its also affected by your environment during your development.
Something similar could be said about Intelligence, though as far as I know, in reductionist terms, intelligence has a greater window for development (most of our life), and a lot more plastic than height (which is highly dependent upon your bone structure. Bones also being categorically different to our neural systems and its comprising elements).

I don't think it'd be outragous to find that your economic situation affects your developmental goals. Given how it affects how much time you spend on, and opportunities for your personal (in this case intellectual) development.

This is true if you're in a dry/mostly-dry climate. In Southeast Asia, a humid tropical climate, they have problems with toner clumping instead of ink drying, and I've noticed that inkjets (invariably with CIS/bulk ink systems installed) are far more popular than lasers.
JIT is a large attack surface, but it's mostly an attack surface from the perspective of migrating from "untrusted" (attacker-controlled) javascript execution, to arbitrary native code execution (e.g. malicious js on a webpage, breaking out).

If a Deno user wants to use FFI to invoke system("rm -rf /*"), they can*, and they don't need to exploit a JIT bug to do so.

FFI with JIT is almost certainly a larger attack surface than FFI without JIT, but in practice I don't think it's a big difference.

*iiuc Deno is sandboxed by default, so presumably FFI capabilities (and the attack surface implications thereof) are something the developer needs to opt into from the start.
>I really think chess is just a terrible example though. You're really asking a lot of it but I'm honestly shocked it can do what it can. It seems to know some opening books, but falls down immediately. Which really makes sense because you'll find a lot of reading material on specific openings, but the problem space of the game is just too big to find texts about any given game state. Maybe if you have it reason about the board state and "think" about tactics you could push it farther. But we've already solved this.

Just so you know, LLMs can play chess just fine. Like this isn't some inability. GPT-3.5-instruct-turbo plays at about 1800 Elo and makes legal moves consistently well past openings.

> IA has created a vast unauthorized online database of literary works that anyone in the world can access for free

As opposed to an ordinary library, which... wait.

> Further, creators and their publishers will find it more challenging, if not impossible, to bring older titles back into print, whether in physical or electronic form, if they must compete with free Open Library-generated ebooks from IA.

But why does that matter? It's neither providing an incentive to create new works nor making older works available that wouldn't have been, since IA doing so is literally the thing they're complaining about.

> generates royalties for creators under the public lending right recognized by most other developed countries.

This is basically an argument that it can't be fair use in the US if it isn't in some other country, because otherwise people in the other country could get it from the US. That seems like a stretch.

Especially since it falls to the opposite problem: If we're considering laws in other countries then there will be at least one where there is nothing illegal about what IA is doing. At which point someone is going to do it, and what does it matter to anyone which country they're operating from when the internet is accessible everywhere?
For what it is worth, I totally agree. I programmed a fairly large project only to find that goroutines were mysteriously blocking in extremely hard-to-debug subtle ways. So, I had to rewrite a huge chunk. I think goroutines are like Ackbar "It's a trap" trap.

I was liberal in usage with goroutines and channels. But after that experience, I decided to religiously track each goroutine in my head. If I reached the point of not being able to mentally map all goroutines running, I would cut out go. I started using callbacks more too to avoid the pernicious blocking I have experienced.

It's a massive infringement of your natural rights to be forced to create a Google account for your child. That said, I don't see why that's a reason to keep someone else's 13 year old off Twitter.
Everyone of us was a beginner at some point. The first time we came across CSV format we likely typed it in notepad by hand. A lot of issues with CSVs are also sometimes troubleshooted by hand-- by manually fixing a quote or a comma.

There is value is the ability to do this level of editing and troubleshooting.
Uber actually had a pretty reasonable explanation for their app being huge when their rather large app size made the rounds several years ago. Turns out localization takes a lot of space. I wonder how much of LinkedIn’s insane size can be attributed to that vs just lazy coding

Peter Thiel emphatically nods head in agreement
God, please no.

For those unfamiliar with the atrocity that is HL7v2, the format is essentially CSV, but with the record separator set to a lone CR, and the field separator usually set to |. Usually, because the format lets the consumer of the format redefine it, for whatever reasons. (The first use of the field separator it determines whatever character it will be. Thankfully, the first use is in a fixed spot, so it's determinable, but still. Oh, but we don't know the character encoding until like the 18th field in … and it doesn't necessarily have to be an ASCII superset. So I have no idea what an HL7v2 message in a non-ASCII superset even looks like, or how a parser is even supposed to reasonably parse such a thing. I presume attempt a decoding in all possible decodings, and then see which one matches the embedded character set, and pray nobody can create a polyglot?)

There's also further separators, delimiting within a field.

It also has its own escape sequences, to deal with the above.

> Their only advantage over laser printers is higher image quality.

There is also the significantly lower price. Although,if you print a lot, you'll eventually make up the price difference in toner. If, like me, you only need to print rarely, it's probably better just to print at a library or FedEx or UPS store when needed. But there is probably somewhere in the middle where a decent inkjet is more economical, especially if you can get one that works with third party ink cartridges.

What if you get raped? What if you're a child?

There's at least one case of an underage boy having sex with an adult woman who seduced him, got pregnant with his child, and then forced him to pay child support, even though the court ruled that he was a victim of statutory rape.
The author has children. And a wife.
https://www.c64os.com/legal/thanks-and-credits/
Child support is based on oft fictional "ability to pay" that may or may not be grounded in reality.

Garnishing wages and seizing assets already has teeth and child support payments are already far more collectable than credit cards.

Attacking licences in 99% of cases attacks ability to pay in a counterproductive fashion.

The state should avoid "leverage" and stick to direct consequences like taking your money to give to your kids or taking licenses because people are unfit to drive.

Shall we attach state ID next or ability to ride on public transit.

Once you stop caring about principals and start justifying means based on ends you stop having a meaningful theory of how government ought to work.
I always figured a low-cost/high-impact charity would be free PO boxes for the homeless. Then you have a fixed address you can put down for a job application, getting through that filter, and it can be used to bootstrap access to other social services (For example, Medicaid programs that require regular renewal-- where do they send the renewal form to someone without an address?)

Right. CISC vs RISC has always been about simplifying the underlying micro-instructions and register set usage. It's definitely CISC if you have a large complex operation on multiple memory direct locations (albeit the lines between RISC and CISC being blurred, as all such polar philosophies do, when real-life performance optimizations come into play)

Exactly. This is the US we're talking about, and figuring out ways to make poor peoples' lives even worse, and increase the wealth gap as much as possible in order to cause social unrest and eventual societal collapse is an integral part of the country's government. They're bent on self-destruction.
> Special Unicode Characters(tm) can't be typed by anyone on any keyboard and readable by noone.

While I'm not a fan of USV, I do believe it is type-able on both macOS and Linux¹. The IME's character picker in both OSes contains all of the necessary characters, I think. (I use "␤" in commit messages, occasionally. That was a typed ␤, not copy/pasted from a Google query or such.)

It would be quite tedious, I do admit; reasonably typed by someone, probably not.

I don't normally type out CSVs by hand either, though.

(¹I don't know about Windows as I simply haven't cared about it in years. For all I know, they've grown an IME in the intervening decade.)
Given this fact, I am kind of curious - how is DRS any different than debtors prison in America? I get how in Europe where driving is a privilege and alternatives are available some scheme like this could be effective, but when you literally have to be able to drive to work to produce money to pay your debt it really does feel like the exact same as debtors prison - something that does the exact opposite of the goal it sets out to achieve

Any sources for this? Last I heard, there's nothing that can improve intelligence besides removing temporary impediments.

The Developer-Facing Startup
I think the TPU is simple. They do sell it (via cloud), but they focus on themselves first. When there was no shortage of compute, it was an also-ran in the ML hardware market. Now it’s trendy.

ChatGPT v Google is a far crazier history. Not only did Google invent Transformers, not only did Google open-source PaLM and Bert, but they even built chat tuned LLM chat bots and let employees talk with it. This isn’t a case where they were avoiding for disruption or protecting search - they genuinely didn’t see its potential. Worse, they got so much negative publicity over it that they considered it an AI safety issue to release. If that guy hadn’t gone to the press and claimed LaMDA was sentient than they may have entirely open sourced it like PaLM. This would likely mean that GPT-3 was open sourced and maybe never chat tuned either.

GPT-2 was freely available and OpenAI showed off GPT-3 freely as a parlor trick before ChatGPT came out. ChatGPT was originally the same - fun text generation as chat not a full product.

TLDR - Tensors probably didn’t have a lot of value until NVidia because scarce and they actively invented the original ChatGPT and “AI Safety” concerns caused them to lock it down.

To me, for the problem to be "exactly" the same, it would need to occur at a similar level. I do not believe (based on my personal or professional experience) that this is occuring at a similar level on iOS or Android.

You're right the same specific style of problem happens at both, but if it's significantly more on one than the other then it's hard to honestly say they're the same.

Causality runs both ways here, though. Stress is known to damage the brain, stress leads to substance abuse which damages the brain, pollution exposure is known to blunt cognitive function, shift-work is known to damage the body, bad childhood nutrition and bad health of the parent during natal development. Factors that would add up to some level of brain damage.
