We've very recently had fresh releases from Meta and Anthropic (maybe Google/Gemini too - don't pay much attention), and the cycle time for these foundation models is about a year. Yeah, GPT-next is due (maybe im-a-good-chatgpt2 is a snapshot?), so probably not ready. I feel that OpenAI is struggling relative to Anthropic given their respective timelimes.

There seem to be pretty obvious ways to improve reasoning/planning and hallucination, and we're barely started on the synthetic data binge that all the players seem to be finding promising.

I do think GPT-based-AI will plateau at some point in next few years unless there are some more fundamental architectural advances, but I expect that new AI architectures, ultimately leading to AGI, may follow relatively soon.
Why? I would expect it to be comparatively chill, as it should be running mostly constant and reliable?
Would it be possible to shield the host device while frying the GSM antenna with selected frequenzies?

Kind of preemptive sanitization of new hardware.
As usual, with any technology adoption wave, remember this two key historical moments,

> Introduced in 2013, HBase was Pinterest’s first NoSQL datastore. Along with the rising popularity of NoSQL, HBase quickly became one of the most widely used storage backends at Pinterest.

Followed by,

> For the past few years, we have seen a seemingly steady decline in HBase usage and community activity in the industry, as many peer companies were looking for better alternatives to replace HBase in their production environments. This in turn has led to a shrinking talent pool, higher barrier to entry, and lower incentive for new engineers to become a subject matter expert of HBase.

Lets see how TiDB holds on in the same timeframe, although being boring SQL might keep it around.
Exactly. This is not just for Japan. Here in Europe I’ve been denied to open an account in local banks due to my dual citizenship (American).
I agree. Likewise, early AI models to GPT4 is breathtaking progress.

Regular people shrug and say, yeah sure, but what can I do with it. They still do this day.
The same is happening in The Netherlands as well: https://ned.nl/nl/dataportaal/energie-productie/elektricitei...

For April: https://ned.nl/nl/dataportaal/energie-productie/elektricitei...
Solar was 27% of total energy production, and wind was 37%, which when you consider nights, means that you _must_ have peaks well over 50%.

Today, at midday, solar is 69% of total production.
Of course not, they are APIs. And this Arm-based Dell will not be able to run many binaries compiled for 64 bit Windows or any for Mac. 32 bit Windows Apps will mostly work.

Which might be pretty limiting, depending on what kind of software you run.
Every tool can only guarantee absence of some categories of bugs.

The most common ones, business logic, often escape verification simply because of wrong assumptions.

Simple example: some websites use the browser's default language to set your locale, some use your ip. Thus I travel to Poland and suddenly YouTube shows me Polish content and ads (this can be changed often, but not always, see Google docs idiocy). They will all unavoidably lead to business logic bugs because the assumptions are wrong in the first place.
As another Canadian, I feel the same but I'm not surprised one bit.

Canada is actively hostile towards tech and suffers from crippling salaries and investments. The idea of "business" in this country is buying a house and renting its basement.

Our government's incompetence is comical, we are nothing but more than a tech talent / immigration proxy for United States at this point.
Anything can be offensive if you try hard enough!
All cards have randomized pins and can later be changed.
> It's twice as fast and half the cost.

There are plenty of usecases that just want the smartest possible AI, and could easily afford 1000x the price before paying a human expert.

How much would you pay a lawyer to write a letter for you? $200 maybe? Well GPT-4o will do it for $0.0025. Would you pay 1000x more ($2.50) for an AI which will shoot you with fewer legal footguns? - of course you would.

Likewise with time, I am totally happy to wait 10 minutes for a better result, rather than having a mediocre result in 10 seconds.
To make the 2000s possible, decades of relatively uninteresting progress was made. It quickly takes off from there.
Would say understanding usually means ability to connect the dots and see the implications … not feeling.
That’s an absurd comparison, to the point I’ having trouble believing you’re arguing in good faith. The goal of cars is transportation; the goal of guns is harm. Cars causing deaths are accidents; guns causing deaths is them working as designed. Cars continue to be improved to cause fewer fatalities; guns are improved to cause more.

> I'd speculate that it's mostly people who don't use cars who criticize them the most, and the same with guns.

You mean that people who are opposed to something refuse to partake in its use and promotion? Shocker.

YMMV. I have always had extremely pleasant, hassle-free, and fast support and warranty from Dell. It's not that their monitors or laptops fail more often, I've just been buying them for a decade.
I think Oracle Linux was a similar approach to let their customers use RedHat Linux without paying RedHat, now also IBM.
What’s the fastest cpu/highest ram COTS device that has an eInk display?
Post the poll question or don’t post anything at all.

I’ve seen plenty of poll questions that can get the answer they want with phrasing. Unless I can see the poll questions I don’t trust this at all. On top of that, the idea that the American general public have any real idea about “AI” and what it means is somewhat laughable.
> - Lots of people wear masks casually (not judging whether that's good or bad)

It's worth mentioning that masks were in relatively common usage in Japan long before the COVID pandemic. (I have no anecdata whether usage was increased since.)

Years ago I flew on (I think) JAL and was amused to receive a face-mask in the small free package of in-flight goodies provided to each person.
Linux should work well on it, so, if that's your thing, go for it.

You can, however, keep the machine running unsupported newer version of macOS. That's what OpenCore Legacy Patcher does - it patches a newer macOS to recognise and run on an older Mac. YMMV, of course, and there will be a point when there are no Intel versions of macOS whatsoever.
From reporting GPT-5 finished pre-training while ago and was in the process of red-teaming.
In a market where the two dominant modes are a) a subscription fee that you have to keep paying and b) indefinite membership after one payment, many people reading "one-time payment" will immediately assume that means (b) and bristle when they realise it's actually (a).

They're not lying as such but it's at least accidentally misleading. "It's a subscription" should be up front, then go into how it's prepay and well behaved.

AI has now evolved beyond just the science and it's biggest issue is in the productization. Finding use cases for what's already available ALONG with new models will be where success lies.

ChatGPT is the number 1 brand in AI and as such needs to learn what it's selling, not how its technology works. It always sucks when mission and vision don't align with the nerds ideas, but I think it's probably the best move for both parties.
Is anyone using custom GPTs and enjoying it? They all seem super gimmicky.
Right now when it is sunny PV panels produce at their peak. May is optimal time for solar energy for the northern hemisphere. Summer reduces efficiency due to heat.
Amazing what you can do with React and CSS
The expectation that debug libraries are are compiled with ABI changing flags is, while not fundamental, an significant platform difference.

Historically this might be because MSVC didn't even preserve the standard library ABI across versions (although it has done so for the last 10 years at least), so there were little ABI stability expectations.
The corpus of data wherein people say "I don't know" is small. Maybe we should all post more of that.
I think it’s the only way forward. I wrote a blog post about this recently.

I think abandoning anonymity is the only way forward and I think it’ll be glorious.
Windows for ARM has inbuilt x86 emulation. Having experimented with it in a VM on my Mac, I found it worked quite well in terms of both reliability and performance. Granted, I was running smaller Win32 applications - for large and/or performance sensitive applications, I imagine I might have run into issues.
> GPT-4 is already much more than enough for 90% of tasks while maintaining a sane dose of human double-checking.

There's the rub. Does the cost of double checking a 90% solution best the cost of current methods?
> when I explain something, I have understood it.

Yeah, that's the part I don't understand though - do I understand it? Or do I just think I understand it. How do I know that I am not probabilistic also?

Synthesis is the only thing that comes to mind as a differentiator between me and an LLM.

But on the right track.

We're building the solar equivalent of the total cumulative nuclear capacity germany has ever build every 3 years.

If we manage to hold off regressive forces that are trying to derail the current trajectory with whataboutism of nuclear and fusion, we might actually make it to CO2 neutrality in a reasonable timeframe.

Identifying radon is either a stochastic puzzle or a job for a mass spectrometer.

If you're concerned about radon the best bet is to either move or to mitigate

it's a heavy gas that "oozes" out of granites and settles in low areas .. valleys until a breeze comes through or basements until pumped out ( floor level extractor fan | gas sump ).
I think "offended" is a bit much in many occasions, but it's certainly a type of racial profiling. It simply doesn't happen in places where your class or group of friends or coworkers are not all white, because you know that not all people look the same. Whereas if you live in an area with a very homogenous looking population everyone who looks different probably is a tourist.
As I view it, it's foundational work for later being able to regrow tissue in adequate ways.
I wonder if the training to be compliant to the propter is part of the problem. Both of those statements are similar to saying "I refuse to answer your query".

Or maybe this is inherent to continuation?

I’m not saying sound management doesn’t suck on iOS. It does. But the scenario you describe is forbidden by Safari and Chrome on mobile and desktop. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.
Yeah this sounds like a very narrow use case shifting. That of moving your EBS ERP application to Oracle cloud from on premise.
I mean, people are doing that migration and it's exciting if they are actually using iac, but this can't represent large usage of Terraform.
28 mm tires used to be huge tires. Pros didn't ride anything wider than 23 mm in the 90s. 25 mm would be for special occasions. 21 mm on tracks, sometimes even 19 mm.

I think than Valverde used a 28 mm in a Roubaix and at the end of the race said that it was too much and not worth of the extra weight and front section.

Every pro is riding on 30 or 32 mm now. Of course the rims are totally different and wrap those tires in a way that the old metallic rims could not do, hence the aerodynamic gains.

Edit: I've got a gravel bike with 42 mm tires and a 28 mm set. I use the 28 mm when going in the hills on asphalt. I'm with you on that: it's a day/night difference. On mixed mostly flat terrains the 42 mm tires are the best compromise.

That's been my experience with the BME688 too. Bosch likes to pitch this as being able to detect many various things, then leaves it up to the customer to experiment with heater profiles and machine learning to reach said goal.

The results I've seen for methane is discouraging, to say the least. Now moving to a NDIR sensor. A completely different thing, I know. Guess I was under a spell, it sounded too good to be true - a BOM cost reduction of 20x, and it was. I can go on and on about this one and the driverlib for it, but I've spent enough energy already.
How much attention one gets depends on various factors. I am a very tall white guy with curly hair that forms an afro. In Tokyo I get stares from nearly everyone along the whole block where I happen to be. Glad this doesn't happen to everyone, but please don't pretend this doesn't happen.

Do you have any links on what's the best way to get all drivers? I have a 2015/2017 MacbookPro. I've tried this a few times but there was always something missing and most of the "How to" sites appear to be abandoned after a few years.
It's the assumption that they probably aren't "American" because they don't look like their ancestors came here on the Mayflower that many find offensive.
There’s no analysis and we have incomplete information. This is just a reactive take on releasing a faster model. We don’t know if a higher quality model exists, we don’t know the nature of OpenAI’s connection with Apple and iOS, and he’s dismissing improved model speed with reduced cost without explanation.

The post is labeled as a hot take, so I’m not bothered by it, but it also isn’t worth reading. Glad it was short.
I added Gemini 1.5 Flash to my AI app Semaj AI and its fast indeed, it is also very intelligent compared to Gemini 1.0 Pro.

I do. There are a LOT more masks now than before the pandemic (caveat: I'm not in Tokyo, maybe it's different there, but probably not)
Yes. Absolutely.

Who cares if I have to scan through it when it can write 100 lines of rote boring code in 10 seconds when it would take me 5 minutes.

I can type fast but GPT can type thousands of words per minute. I can't compete with that.

But a largish slice of the US polity (headed by one of the two credible candidates for President) is dead against …

The point is you have to convince these people. That’s the whole and only ballgame.

Trying to pressure companies into wearing skinsuits via external or internal pressure might be satisfying but it’s a waste of effort.

Convince one company not to work with UAE and another one will gladly take its place. Elect a President that takes human rights into account in foreign policy and now you might get somewhere.

But to do that you have to actually go talk to people that disagree with you. Not just post preaching to the choir posts about how terrible those other guys are.
Imagine how low CO2 levels would be if nuclear plants were online...
Can you compare the toxicity per ounce?
I would have thought you needed a decent grasp of math to compose. Don’t you have to count - ie all your measures must have equal sums of note durations (if you are using 32nds, all your notes - halves, quarters, 32nds, rests, and so on, must add up to 32 32nds).
Social engineering has been along for ... well, since we ended prehistory. The convergence to monotheism with very specific demographic outlooks and group self-identification ("we are the chosen people, the others are not") is early evidence of social engineering.

I'm not sure which first step you are talking about. Typically, one would write the program directly in Coq and use the extracted code as-is.
>ChatGPT is the number 1 brand in AI and as such needs to learn what it's selling, not how its technology works.

I'm not as in tune as some people here so: don't they need both? With the rate at which things are moving, how can it be otherwise?
Check the other top comment you've already read for an e.
It seems the main focus was cost cutting and latency, so maybe a smaller model, or MoE with more experts?

One of the new llmsys im-[also]-a-good-gpt2-chatbots did do significantly better than GPT-4 on one benchmark, but that might be a snapshot of GPT-5 rather than GPT-4o (deliberate misdirection?), or maybe a synthetic-data-based targeted improvement.

This is an interesting and relevant point. What is repurposing in this context? In what way does RSS allow someone’s content to be repurposed more easily? How does this make monetization more difficult?
Very interesting. Thank you for the perspective, it is extremely illuminating.

What is a user interface which can move from color, light, shade, and space to images or text? Could there be an architecture that takes blueprints and produces text or images?
Most of the official battery life numbers you see from manufacturers are like 18 hours when the reality is less than 8 hours which is just meaningless. The numbers from reviewers using benchmarks like "modern office" might not be applicable to you, but should be relatively accurate. I would advise checking some reviews and reddit posts to see what people say.

Also note that this heavily depends on the CPU and screen configuration (LED or OLED).

One data point here: My laptop with an AMD 7840U with FHD+ IPS screen could last 9 hours in my own testing, that's without video calls or heavy multitasking. It's a ThinkPad but there are a few on the market with the same APU. A similar test on an Asus laptop with i5-1240p high-res OLED would yield 5 hours using the same method.

I know, it's annoying that there is no easy way to get a somewhat realistic estimate of the battery life on Windows laptops, while official Macbook battery life in the specs is reasonable and often accurate. Generally, you would want to get a low voltage CPU and avoid OLED screens if you want good battery life.
I'm no Rust expert but it seems to have a lot of unsafe in core code. And understandably so:

I don't think coq, as being presented here, can verify all unsafe calls.

Your solar doesn't work well in winter, and in night. At this point it's more important to build energy storage to drive down the CO2.

> If we manage to hold off regressive forces that are trying to derail the current trajectory with whataboutism of nuclear

Nuclear already reached the target. It's not some "whataboutism".
Prices have been going down for about a year, and are now lower than before the war, despite massive shocks and transformations.

Also, if you care about low prices, nuclear is among the worst options.
Products that are fungible compete on price (what else?). Chat-with-AI services that have similar performance are pretty fungible today. Switching from one to the other is... remarkably easy. The moment Gemini Flash's competitors start losing customers they will lower their prices to remain competitive.
Toward the end of the article there are descriptions of Al-Jazari water clocks but did not mention about the infamous Alhambra Palace lions water clock, and most likely it was based on Al-Jazari inventions. Since Alhambra Palace construction was started in the same century of Al-Jazari death (13th century AD) it's very plausible that it's based on his work.

Al-Jazari invented hundreds of inventions including mechanical robots that were said to be copied by later scientist and engineers including Leonardo da Vinci, and we know that good artists copy but great artists steal [1].

During a visit to Alhambra Spain it was claimed the water will gush out from each of the lion figure's mouth fountain for every hour, in sequence of turns not unlike our clock now but it all based on water. Perhaps this is possible due to the Al-Jazari water clock invention but no one know how it was originally working [2].

It's a shame that indispensable knowledge like this has been lost forever and this also happened to the earliest earthquake sensor instrument invented by Zhang Heng back in 132 A.D. He called his seismoscope Houfeng Didong Yi, meaning an "instrument for measuring the seasonal winds and the movements of the Earth." Now the working replica has been recreated but only until very recently they had managed to recreate the functioning replica but knowledge regarding the actual original working mechanism has been lost forever [3]. Ironically after more than 2000 years later and USD1 Billion spent for the earthquake sensors system installations, the latest system with 15K sensor stations throughout China, it still cannot predict the earthquakes but only provide alerts to the authority after the main earthquake has happened somewhere in China [4],[5].
