> it is worse..regardless of benchmarks & charts

It's interesting how this is a fairly common sentiment expressed, at least I heard it often for previous models.

Do you think such weaknesses can be quantified by adding more test cases, and improving the benchmarks? Maybe it would help if they opened up to community contributions, so people could submit test cases that demonstrate issues that they (OpenAI, et al) are currently not seeing.

The “around” part of your question hints that you may want to see the range of options possible with LangChain. Instead, for brainstorming, I’d recommend the description of what Symbolic AI aims to support:

I think what you’ll find is that some applications are very capable locally, like Whisper.

A lot of plugins expect to work with the llama.cpp family. Nowadays, that’s HuggingFace TGI: https://huggingface.co/blog/tgi-messages-api

So your application could speak OpenAI api, and you’d run HuggingFace TGI on your hardware for testing and comparison.
How much time has to pass for that statement to be believable to you? If GPT-5 isn’t out in 5 years is it still just around the corner?

People can disagree without resorting to accusations of bad-faith.

We're seeing an uptick in open source projects getting relicenced to non-open licenses. Some projects are successfully forked and the userbase shifts, other times not.

One theory of mine is that we can measure the risk that a project will be relicensed by looking at things like diversity of contributors, trademark ownership, contributor agreements, and license terms. Low risk projects include the Linux kernel (GPL, DCO) [1]. High risk projects include Kubernetes (Apache, CLA) [2].

If this trend continues developers will need to get a better understanding of how relicencing works and may decide to avoid contributing to projects with elevated risk.

> Any Americans moved to Japan? Like permanently?

I grew up in California and moved to Japan forty-one years ago, at the age of twenty-six. I have lived here ever since.

As others in this thread have noted, everyone is different. In my case, what has kept me here is having learned the language well after I arrived, entering first one career (translation) and then, twenty years later, another (in academia) for which my language ability and my understanding of the culture were essential, having and raising a family here, continuing to find the country and culture interesting, and finding a comfortable living situation. Now Japan feels like home and I can’t imagine leaving.

However, I have known a lot of people who started out similar to me but who ended up leaving after a while. I don’t want to generalize about them, either, but there are some characteristics I have noticed among Americans who didn’t stay: They didn’t learn the language well, or they couldn’t find jobs that suited them, or they were annoyed at always being treated like a foreigner (more common in the countryside than in the cities), or they had aging parents back home, or they just felt homesick.
The trade-offs here don't seem favourable. Gemany's per-capita energy production has been dropping [0] and I'm going to be waiting to see what their industrial manufacturing does but I doubt we're going to see China-style explosive growth out of them any time soon.

We've got a very persistent trend across all these ideology-before-prosperity western countries where their energy policy is proving to be a disaster. We're getting literal de-growth of energy and a lot of the political fireworks are probably related to that. Hopefully we see some long-term improvements, but the last decade has not been pretty.

I was in Tokyo on a short business trip once. I had a interpreter and back to back meetings with Japanese businesses for a few days. At one stage I realised that people are reacting slightly to what I am saying before the content was translated. I asked the interpreter about it and she said that they all had English as a school subject and that most Japanese people under 50 can understand English, and are too self-aware about their accent to even try to converse. I've never been able to verify this and would love a more informed opinion.

Sorry my mistake caused by autocorrect. I have now updated my comment. I actually tried "Who was the first elephant to swim across the English channel?"

And tried again after this post.

GPT4o says:

The first elephant known to swim across the English Channel was Jumbo. Jumbo was a famous African elephant, and his swim took place in 1884. This event was organized as a publicity stunt by his owner, P.T. Barnum, to promote his circus. Jumbo successfully swam across the Channel, further solidifying his status as a celebrated and extraordinary animal of his time.

While GPT-4:

"Actually, there are no verified records or historical accounts of an elephant swimming across the English Channel. The story of an elephant, like Jumbo, swimming across the Channel is likely a myth or misunderstanding. Jumbo was indeed a famous elephant brought to the U.S. by P.T. Barnum, but his fame is attributed to his size and the public's fascination with him, rather than such a feat."
I posted this on my Discord, one of our members is a security guy and pointed out that anyone concerned about things like this would be using a device called a NLJD, Non-Linear Junction Detector: https://reiusa.net/nljd/, which can detect circuit boards:

> The NLJD antenna head is a transceiver (transmitter and receiver) that radiates a digital spread spectrum signal to determine the presence of electronic components. When the energy encounters semi-conductor junctions (diodes, transistors, circuit board connections, etc.), a harmonic signal returns to the receiver. The receiver measures the strength of the harmonic signal and distinguishes between 2nd or 3rd harmonics. When a stronger 2nd harmonic is represented on the display in red, it indicates an electronic junction has been detected. In this way, a hand-held ORION is used to sweep walls, objects, containers, furniture, and most types of surfaces to look for hidden electronics, regardless of whether the electronic device is turned on.
Then you'll be aware that he goes on to defend an Aristotelian, teleological view (which he describes, in accordance with your comment, as only nowadays held by a few "cranks"), so I'm not sure what prompted the question?
Rust safety has very little to do with bugs.

Rust has its own definition of what "safe" means, which is arguably a subset of memory safety.

You can have perfectly safe Rust code with data races, deadlocks, memory exhaustion, etc. Not even talking about logical errors.
I saw two clips, which I think was such demonstrations. Both reeked of desperation, one was a dude talking with a synthesised voice imitating a young, overly pleasing woman, the other used the same voice for a pretty weird trivial translation between english and italian. Machine translation is quite old by now, and for practical uses you'd want speech to translated text so it doesn't interrupt conversation like in the demonstration.

Sure, I can imagine people with a lot of spare time and few or no friends might want to substitute with a machine, and that they might feel that this has a magic to it. Magical here meaning roughly the same as it does when applied to Disney-land or similar entertainment simulacra.
> of pinning failure on everything except profit motive

I see. Profit motive is bad. The world would be so much nicer if people were just less greedy.

I do agree with that.

And then what? Will you appeal to people to just stop being greedy, and join in a brotherly harmony?

Or you will try to strengthen the state mechanisms that make greed less dangerous? For example, greed could make some people steal. Rather than appeal to people not to steal, we can (and do) have law enforcement that deters people from stealing.

Well, recently that deterrence started losing its potency. Do I hear you criticizing the human greed and deploring those who go in stores and steal in plain daylight to satisfy their greed?
People who think that GME will sell for "phone numbers as price" (gov / brokers / SEC will step in before, tiny, tiny chance it might happen if they would not) are about as dumb as people who think everything is cool and normal with GME.

The distinction here seems to be going the other way: the DOJ is investigating a domestic entity over its domestic activities, even though the most serious consequences of that activity occurred overseas. If it does decide to proceed, it seems unlikely that it will have occasion to seek extradition of the major targets (or, if it did, that it could reasonably be seen as an abuse of extradition.)

Only when it isn't legal issues that dump money into Oracle. They absolutely love and adore pushing their customers to less permissive licensing which can encounter legal issues when they are the ones benefiting
They seem to think that just because a company makes non-open-source software, it shouldn't itself prefer to use open-source rather than proprietary software?! That makes no sense, of course. Specially considering the non-OSS is now owned by IBM which directly competes with Oracle on multiple fronts.
It seems to me that OpenTofu is actually backed by many companies in a similar position to Oracle, which don't want to have to rely on IBM for things they have tight integrations with.

They didn't have GPT-4 until 3 years after GPT-3.

> The most important figure in the blogpost is attached below. And the most important thing about the figure is that 4o is not a lot different from Turbo, which is not hugely different from 4.

The chart shows, for instance, 67% on HumanEval with GPT-4 to 90.2% to with GPT-4o. Future increments will inherently be smaller just by nature of the benchmarks - there's a hard cap of 100%, and 90%->99.9% represents far more progress than 50%->60%. Even reaching omniscience wouldn't look all that impressive on the benchmark chart.

I think that to some extent represents the dream, with caveats. A few pieces need to fall into place.

1. You need to formalize the semantics of unsafe Rust. Ralf Jung's pioneering RustBelt[1] work was a huge step in that direction, but it is not yet complete. One element that's emerging as tricky is "pointer provenance."

2. Part of that is making a formal model of the borrow checker. Stacked borrows[2] was a good attempt, but has some flaws. Tree borrows[3] may correct those flaws, but it's possible something even more refined may emerge.

3. Another part of that is a formal memory model, which is mostly about the behavior of atomics and synchronization (thus, is critically important for standard library components such as Arc). It is widely understood that Rust's memory model should be similar to the C++ one (and that they should interoperate), but there are some remaining flaws in that, such as the "out of thin air" problem and also some missing functionality like seqlocks (part of why the Linux kernel still has its own).

4. You need a proof that the safety guarantees compose well; in particular if you have sound code written in unsafe Rust, composed with other code written in safe Rust, the safety guarantees still hold. There are good results so far but it needs to be proved over the entire system.

5. You do need to close all the remaining soundness bugs in Rust[1], for such a proof to hold for all code. Progress on this is slow, as many of these problems are theoretical, or are only really relevant for adversarial code[5].

When all this is done, you still only have a partial guarantee. Huge amounts of the surface area to interface with the system are based on unsafe code. If you're doing only pure computation, that's one thing, but if you're building, say, a graphical UI, there's a massive amount of stuff that can still go wrong.

Even so, there is a practical path forward, and that leads to a much better situation than the usual state of things today, which is of course systems riddled with vulnerabilities.
