The training data for ChatGPT is so vast, that there is a fair chance it contained a very similar example. I mean it’s genuinely hard to come up with math problems that aren’t either very difficult or have well known solutions.

The question is whether these bodies were those of grown adults engaged in consensual activities. The answer is, in all likelihood, no. Many folks trying to give him the benefit of the doubt here, not sure why he deserves it (given he’s a repeat offender too).

I once heard a coach claim that given a student with the heart of a champion, they'd podium after having been taught but two actions.

It can be tricky to discuss AGI in any precise way because everyone seems to have their own definition of it and ideas about it. I mean ChatGPT is already intelligent in that if can do university exam type questions better than the average human and general in that it can have a go at most things. And we still seem fine about turning it off - I think you are overestimating the ethics of a species that exploits or eats most other species.

For me the interesting test of computer intelligence would be if it can replace us in the sense that at the moment if all humans disappeared ChatGPT and the like would stop because there would be no electricity but at some point maybe intelligent robots will be able to do that stuff and go on without us. That's kind of what I think of as AGI rather than the Turing stuff. I guess you could call it the computers don't need us point. I'm not sure how far in the future it is. A decade or two?
>in Go pointers never point to values on the stack

This is only the case for pointers that the compiler can't prove not to escape:

>In the current compilers, if a variable has its address taken, that variable is a candidate for allocation on the heap. However, a basic escape analysis recognizes some cases when such variables will not live past the return from the function and can reside on the stack.
The face actors weren’t harmed, the body actors (unidentifiable, but in all likelyhood youth) were.
Reminds me of an old joke: how to make a space shuttle? Take a rocket, add wings and 2 million parts.
This has to do with how Go handles dynamic typing via interfaces and how structs fit into that.

When a function takes an interface type as an argument, and you pass a pure struct to it, it creates a wrapper around it (this is the allocation referred to in your quote) which is simply a pair of pointers, one being a type/vtable pointer and the other being a pointer to the struct's data.

Doing it this way allows code to do run-time type inference as well as allow interface extension implicitly (that is, implementing an interface is done by implementing its methods, and you don't have to explicitly type it like ByteReader extends Reader"). Since you only pay this cost if you use it, a lot of fast-path code will use structs exclusively if it can.

I sometime dream about a instruction set architecture (ISA) that runs in some kind of VM that allows for existing languages to be able to run on CPU/GPU/FPGAs/ASICs automatically.

I think this is a much more practically approach and i hope this will give some inspiration to this possibility.
Agree. Sometimes you just experiment with something, put up a tiny website somewhere... forget about it until you decide it's no longer relevant for whatever reason and you pull the plug on it... it's not a bad thing. But it's great to have stuff like web archives though, to keep our collective memory for worthwhile content. I specially hope that accurate accounts of events gets preserved, as it was originally written, somewhere it can't be changed. That's because rewriting history seems to be a favourite these days and preserving the original accounts as things were happening can help combat this, and even if the account were not completely accurate, it can help understand the actions of contemporary actors - i.e. you may be able to understand what they thought was true at the time, even if that was later revealed to be incorrect.

Please stop with these incorrect generalizations. Hush agreements are definitely allowed in Germany as well, part of golden parachutes usually.

I know a manager for an EV project at a big German auto company who also had to sign one when he was let go and was compensated handsomely to keep quiet and not say a word or face legal consequences.

IIRC he got ~12 months wages. After a year of not doing anything at work anyway. Bought a house in the south with it. Good gig.

Flutter is so far in front of anything else out there I think at the moment.
Not a great start in there example gives a suggestion that would almost definitely lead to more problems. Setting no-cors prevents access to response, which while useful in certain circumstances (when you just want a 200), most of the time this is going to cause more issues for a Dev who doesn't know that. Again great potential but a lack of true understanding of context holds these services back still.

I’m getting on pretty well with Ionic + TypeScript, using React and Redux. Performance hasn’t really been an issue, although I’m also not doing anything that performance heavy. I’d recommend it. I like that it ends up being comprehensible HTML + CSS, as well as simple React that I’m already comfortable with and can debug.

Why having knowledge of the protocol any UX designer would design the interface of the client so that such mistakes could be possible? It certainly can be solved by interface.

>That's a German problem, not a protocol problem. You can't fix social problems with technology.

It is not a social problem. Those ugly signatures exist because there’s legal requirement to include imprint in business mail without adequate support by protocol. It belongs to message metadata, not to message body (and any well-designed system considering this requirement would do it as metadata btw).

I would say React Native with all the Expo stuff. While Flutter is okayish, web is bad in terms of feel and accessibility since it renders to a canvas. Also, iOS still has issues with lag even after introducing Impeller rendering engine.

Look at Bluesky's client. The app performs decent on all supporting platforms and has single codebase.

Except in the example it suggests setting no-cors, which is the vast majority of circumstances will still lead to errors that are going to be harder to understand.
and it will be interesting to see the second hand effects of AI in art galleries.

where I'm from restaurants had separate dining rooms (and now there's an indoor smoking ban), and most restaurants and bars in general are bad cheap places. if AI crowds out the cheap creative shit (from advertisements to mass produced plastic "home decor" to ad-supported "free art" and so on) I don't see that as a problem.

... furthermore, the cost-benefit balance of smoking - with a high certainty - seems to be negative. we don't know AI's yet.
I partially agree, there are huge delusions of Homo economicus.

There is also this other process at work that is shaped by quarterly earnings reports in public markets. Maybe if we started over with a mirror economy that we rebuild from the ground up, most of these things could be automated.

I think there are many inefficiencies in the system that Homo economicus wouldn't be able to deal with even if Homo economicus actually existed.
That could be true, but I've done a few optimizations of allocations in Go code, and I don't recall pointers to stack values ever being optimized (unless the entire branch is removed, of course). If anyone could provide an example of the code that does pointer operations yet doesn't cause allocations, I'd appreciate it!
I really think I take criticism well... The problem is that people were criticizing us for not doing things that were literally done on the second paragraph. So at this point it didn't feel like productive criticism? That's like being criticized for being naked when you're full clothed. How do you even make sense of that...
You're imagining a baseline of reasonableness. Humans have competing preferences, we never just want "one thing", and as a social species we always at least _somewhat_ value the opinions of those around us. The point is to imagine a system that values humans at zero: not positive, not negative.

I think we need to differentiate between a few things:

1. The specific way different models were trained.

Claude was specifically trained with these XML tags in the input and output. For Claude it works well to say things along the lines of "use a scratchpad for thinking out loud in XML tags first". While you can force GPT to do the same, it may not be as "natural" e.g. high chance of GPT3.5 not doing it.

2. XML tags vs full XML

Using XML tags doesn't mean it would be amazing at outputting full valid XML. XML tags are great because there's no further formatting needed within. If you only want to separate sections in your prompt or response, XML tags are perfect for clearly marking start and end, as well as featuring syntax (<>) that's rarely seen in natural text.

If it comes to generating a full data schema valid object, my experience is that JSON works way better than XML. It just seems to be a good middle ground between structure while having little overhead. I remember a recent AirBnB posts saying that YAML works even better than JSON. That's not my personal experience. Plus, YAML is something a bit weird and slow on read.
For WUFFS the language, or for WUFFS the library, or for the WUFFS tooling today?

The clever idea is to have you the programmer in effect write a proof that your code has the desired semantic properties as part of the programming activity and so then the WUFFS transpiler is merely checking that the proof is correct.

This leverages your understanding of what you were trying to do.

I think a secondary question is: how is this illegal but someone doing the same with a children’s fashion magazine, a Playboy and some glue isn’t?

Which is a wider question for deepfakes in general: how is it possible that I can grab a pencil and legally draw, say, Halle Berry in some sort of pornographic pose, but if I do the same via deep learning, it’s suddenly illegal.

It doesn’t make sense, and makes me feel like the arguments behind it are on very shaky legal ground.

Note that this is separate from sharing these images, where the real harm happens.
It's a standard legal thing to accommodate a rule that you can't write a perpetual contract, it has to have a term delimited by the life of someone alive plus some limited period.

A case where it obviously makes sense is something like a covenant between two companies; whose life would be relevant there, if both parties want the contract to last a long time and have to pick one? The CEOs? Employees? Shareholders? You could easily have a situation where the company gets sold and they all leave, but the contract should still be relevant, and now it depends on the lives of people who are totally unconnected to the parties. Just makes things difficult. Using a monarch and his currently living descendants is easy.

I'm not sure how relevant it is in a more employer employee context. But it's a formalism to create a very long contract that's easy to track, not a secret trick to create a longer contract than you're normally allowed to. An employer asking an employee to agree to it would have no qualms asking instead for it to last the employee's life, and if the employee's willing to sign one then the other doesn't seem that much more exploitative.
> It would be a terrible life in a world that does not forget or forgive

This is an orthogonal concern, and arguably is mainly about privacy

> It’s also good that some preservation effort is necessary for worthy content: the value of it gets more appreciated.

This same argument seems to imply that virtually everything should be expensive. Cheap storage is bad because we don't appreciate the value of the files we store. Expensive healthcare is good because it really makes us appreciate our organs.

> worthy content

The hard part is looking into the future to determine which content will be considered worthy then. So far no human civilization has managed to figure that out. They mostly seemed to focus on preserving the image of how amazing their kings were.
This is on CPU vs GPU.

A GPU core (shading unit) is 100x weaker than a CPU core, thus the difference.

ON the GPU, HVM's performance scales almost 16000x with 16000x cores. Thus the "near ideal speedup".

Not everyone knows how GPUs work, so we should have been more clear about that!

Ah, but the kernel between Hesse and Stephenson is fairly large; I'd say Hesse has a large idea (Berlin's "hedgehog") towards which his characters and plots and settings all work, while Stephenson has a cornucopia of small ideas (Berlin's "fox") and his characters and plots and settings are largely excuses to get them all out of his head and down in print.

Don't optimize for minimum hate, optimize for actionable feedback and ignore the haters. Easier said than done, though.

Remember you don't need comment trolls on your team, and you'll go insane taking them seriously. Focus on piquing the interest of motivated language nerds. I personally would have really appreciated a "look, were still 10x (or whatever) slower than Python, so now I need all the help I can get working on the codegen, etc." This would have given me quick perspective on why this milestone is meaningful.
I am confused about the source of the outrage. A situation where nobody is very clear about what the claim is but everyone is very upset, makes me suspicious.

Are employees being mislead about the contract terms at time of signing the contract? Because, obviously, the original contract needs to have some clause regarding the equity situation, right? We can not just make that up at the end. So... are we claiming fraud?

What I suspect is happening, is that we are confusing an option to forgo equity for an option to talk openly about OpenAI stuff (an option that does not even have to exist in the initial agreement, I would assume).

Is this overreach? Is this whole thing necessary? That seems besides the point. Two parties agreed to the terms when signing the contract. I have a hard time thinking of top AI researchers as coerced to take a job at OpenAI or unable to understand a contract, or understand that they should pay someone to explain it to them – so if that's not a free decision, I don't know what is.

Which leads me to: If we think the whole deal is pretty shady – well, it took two.
