Where did you ever see that? In particular for the actually wealthy? "Oh no, my house went from $10m to $9m, woe is me"? At most, it's a proxy for the above. As a not-so-wealthy, but well-to-do techie, for me the exclusion is absolutely about keeping poor people out. People are just too timid do admit it.

Now I do have to say as a semi-libertarian I support YIMBY, building up everything and making most zoning illegal. Sorta against my self-interest.

But at the same time, I strongly dislike US poor. It's almost an oxymoron that the more meritocratic the society, the better the sorting, and thus the worse an average non-immigrant poor people are. US, compared to most places, is pretty meritocratic. An average person at the same percentile poverty level in Russia (or, I bet, Mexico or China or Nigeria or whatever) is a much better human being than a corresponding non-immigrant in the US (any race). If the way to keep the latter out is to keep local property unaffordable, so be it. I don't really care about broad property values otherwise - I don't want to move and if I do I'd probably buy a similar house.. in fact given the transaction costs, cheaper housing may make moving cheaper.
And it's pretty slow on border right now (about a week?).

Because government issued a wide range of "war with drug" to filter all the products (IDK how they can achieve it.) on the border.
I've encountered two viable cases: instructions are too complex, too many tools, or wildly different processing steps, in which case it semplify a lot the processing to have a few well defined steps each doing their thing, and a coordinator on top, either sequential, or intelligent, that is only focuesed on next step routing.

the other is memory for conversational retrieval. ai memory is still quite limited, especially if there needs to be a lot of token in context, and context too long impede the ability of llm of focus on the task itself, especially if the context is itself a conversation or a request, so spreading the context along a few agents, and propagating the user request among agent, and having those produce answer fragment for another llm to formulate an answer allows to not lose the conversational context without swamping the llm with noise.

the problem tho remains latency as son as you nest them latency explodes as you can only stream the last layer of llm output
> Another central tenet of both Nazism and Bolshevism is their hatred for capitalism and democracy.

Nazi Germany was a capitalist country. The reason why German conservatives brought the Nazis into government was in order to smash the German socialist and labor movement. Portraying Nazi Germany as anticapitalist is deeply ahistorical.

Your argument, that the repression carried out in Poland and the Baltics by the USSR proves it wasn't motivated by fear of Germany, does not logically follow.

> why the USSR tried to invade Finland and allocated a significant part of its entire military to the task while it was allegedly so worried about German attack

The USSR's invasion of Finland was intimately bound up with its fear of German invasion. I'm just reciting some basic history here - nothing new or groundbreaking. The USSR wanted a buffer outside of Leningrad, which was directly on the border, and the right to use naval bases in the Baltic sea. The Soviets did not believe that a small country would be able to remain neutral when push came to shove, so it did not trust Finnish promises of neutrality. Those were the considerations that led the USSR to invade Finland.
valid point. i'm not a statistician but it does seem to me to be statistically significant.

According to the paper, the validation set has 107 problems so it's a difference of 6 problems solved, not just 1-2.

Also, it's not a typical eval with multiple-choice answers — these are difficult coding problems from competitions where the answers are strings or integers, so the odds of "guessing" a correct answer are very low.
Right, I would think a 20-30% difference would be significant.

Unless it becomes viable to build enough storage under any format (be it green hydrogen, pumped hydro, batteries) that could provide enough energy to withstand each locality/groups of localities' prolonged natural disasters, yes, nuclear is still needed.

Even a very varied grid (solar, wind, offshore wind and tidal) could struggle with e.g. a big storm. E.g. last summer a big part of norther Germany was hit by a storm with very strong winds, which made solar and wind stop generating power reliably over around a week. There was the rest of Germany plus the neighbours (including France's nuclear) to compensate.. but if it coincides with something else, like France being hit with a heat wave lowering rivers' level and increasing their temperature, forcing the shutdown of nuclear reactors, things can get complicated.
I couldn't find the exact test methodology but it would be trivial to rerun it multiple times to get a good average (as well as all other inputs you need to test statistical significance)
No one has the details because they're secret (apart from some legal cases that open the lid slightly [1]). Just about every regular user of Shein will tell you it's the TikTok of fashion retail - the algorithm ruthlessly pumps them more items that they are likely to buy via the website and ads elsewhere. They've developed a process that can create and modify designs of what's popular (of their own products and from stealing designs that people like elsewhere) and start selling it in a few days for hundreds of products a day [2].

> “Custom systems” is what every company has, and could be anything from giving the CEO a custom-built RGB-lit gaming rig as a desk PC, to a core company workflow using Excel macros, to what AWS is to Amazon; I can’t say I’ve heard of Shein launching SheinWebServices so that narrows it down somewhat.

You seem to be dismissive of the words I've used, but the Shein "systems" have allowed them to out grow most of the competitors in a few years - you simply can't sell that much crap and produce and ship it without utilising the latest tech in everything from sales to warehouse management.

Especially if you consider that the more one writes online about the CodeContests benchmark, the more training data including the CodeContests benchmark data is fed to the next iteration of GPT. We could be doing massive scale over-fitting without realizing it.
Yes the LLM hype can be annoying.

Equally if not more annoying is the smug disdain of those who criticize it.

Even more annoying than that is people too caught up in "the world" and "serious matters" to read some sci-fi.
You are assuming all stakeholders want the mid level people gone. We already have the technology to automate most of this stuff - bullshit jobs exist for a different reason.
Macs are weird when interacting with external displays or external peripherals not designed for Macs.

E.g Macs have support for Displayport 1.1 but not 1.2 (off memory, may have gotten the versions wrong, but you get the idea), no daisychaining. Because of this, cheap USB-C adapters with 2 Displayport outputs do not work, even if your Mac is supposed to support multiple external monitors. Cheaper Macs do not support more than one external monitor at all.

My computer's USB-C ports support the latest Thunderbolt (~USB 4) and USB 3.1, but not USB 3.2.

If the external monitor doesn't have 4K+ resolution (~200dpi to be more precise), you need a separate program for DPI scaling and HighDPI(e.g BetterDisplay). (Apple's displays are 5K). This might not be an "only if", and the results might not be as good as on other OS; this whole area is something Macs do strangely.

If you use a non-Apple external mouse and you're like me, look up UnnaturalMouse as an essential piece of software. Without it, either the mouse or the touchpad scroll in the "wrong" direction.

If you're not used to it, the keyboard is weirdly different: Cmd (also known as Meta or Windows key) and Alt are swapped, and most but not all bindings that use Ctrl on other systems use Cmd.

It gets more confusing if you try to use an external Windows keyboard with a Mac, since you have to get used to Cmd and Alt swap if you are not looking. You can rebind them, and I did, but then I was confused for a while when I was looking. The Home button does not work, you have to use Cmd+Left.

None of these were deal-breakers for me, but I wish I knew before taking the plunge.
I understand that such a capacity metric might be useful for generation, and somewhat useful for storage. One could see the grid operators having a good grip on the utility of storage to smooth off tv pickup and evening peaks, in full knowledge that the energy stored will run out in a few hours.

However the linked article is on theprogressplaybook.com; the about page has the following blurb

The Progress Playbook™ focuses on proven ideas for a better world. We cover the policies and projects that are succeeding in driving sustainable development, and that could be replicated elsewhere. This publication is intended to be a resource for policymakers, business leaders, civil society organisations, and ordinary citizens.

It is clear that the publication is not aimed specifically at grid insiders, so propagating the grid's argot to a more general audience is at the very least unhelpful.

They don't say that criminal activity has occurred in this instance, just that this kind of behavior could be used cover it up in situations where that is the case. An example that could potentially be true. Right now with everything going on with Boeing, it sure seems plausible they are covering something(s) up that may be criminal or incredibly damaging. Like maybe falsify inspections and maintenance records? A person at Boeing who gets equity as part of compensation decides to leave. And when they leave, they eventually at some point in the future decide to speak out at a congressional investigation about what they know about what is going on. Should that person be sued into oblivion by Boeing? Or should Boeing, assuming what situation above is true, just have to eat the cost/consequences for being shitty?

Bloody hell. Still, that's a lot to miss. The accounting department and internal audit controls absolutely failed. They should also have external auditors audit through transactions every couple of years to flag unusual activity for expanded auditing. Furthermore, it seems like if banks can do reasonable fraud detection then accounting software should include an ability to detect patterns of suspicious transactions for additional scrutiny.

The accounting department and her supervisor also share culpability.
If they did so, they would open up themselves for lawsuits of people unhappy about OpenAI's own training data.

So they probably won't.

We already know there's been a leadership failure due to the mere existence of the board weirdness last year; if there has been any clarity to that, I've missed it for all the popcorn gossiping related to it.

Everyone including the board's own chosen replacements for Altman siding with Altman seems to me to not be compatible with his current leadership being the root cause of the current discontent… so I'm blaming Microsoft, who were the moustache-twirling villains when I was a teen.

Of course, thanks to the NDAs hiding information, I may just be wildly wrong.
When companies create rules like this, that tells me that they are very unsure of their product. Either it doesn't works as they claim, or it's incredible simple to replicate. It can also be that their entire business plan is insane, in any case, there's something basic wrong internally at OpenAI for them to feel the need for this kind of rule.

If OpenAI and ChatGPT is so far ahead for everyone else, and their product is so complex, it doesn't matter what a few disgruntled employees do or say, so the rule is not required.
This would be incredible for a game like Pokemon Snap.

It's interesting that both extremes are actually signs of the same problem.

First, why didn't other countries become too scare to build? The neighborhood I grew up at in Moscow was built in bulk in place of a village of the same name in the early 80ies. Nobody cared about the village; in fact it wasn't even replaced by housing - it was demolished to build a stadium and other assorted sporting venues; the housing was added shortly after. Did it make Russia too scared to build? No, it didn't. During the aughts oil boom, they demolished some 5-story flats to replace them with 20+-story flats, giving the residents better flats in more remote neighborhoods, with no real choice to stay in their neighborhood in many cases (like my grand aunt's). They just keep doing things the same way, and that has its own tradeoffs. Nobody is "scared".

The difference in the US is that there's a stronger notion of individual rights, and it was obvious that the bureaucratic nightmare machine was running ramshod over those. So it was great that it was reigned in. The not-so-great part that instead of just respecting those as was the original intent, US has replaced an incompetent bureaucratic nightmare that ran ramshod over the local residents, with an incompetent bureaucratic/legalistic nightmare that tries to protect them instead. Or rather, some perverted collectivist distortion of "individual rights" where frivolous lawsuits from rich neighbors, disgruntled unions, idiot activists or basically anyone can hold up the project forever instead of just individuals negotiating their narrow concerns...

If this thing was done properly, in some cases the weight of many individuals would counterbalance aggressive projects when it makes sense, but loonies would end up like Edith Macefield, with a house surrounded by a mall. As it stands, Edith Macefields of the world can delay and block entire projects forever, other property owners be damned.
“One framework proposed for superalignment” sounded like it does something. Or maybe I missed the context.
But I think you're running into some cognitive dissonance here, because in your argument here you're not talking about a "more compelling evidence of personhood", but rather discriminating towards some specific identity. A preteen non-native speaker is just as much a person, with just as much personhood, as our earlier example of a nuclear physicist with a twin neurologist.

The only difference is that imitating a preteen non-native speaker is quite trivial and says very little, which is why you would obviously never select such as the identity. In other words your version of the test doesn't involve solving many "X"s at all. In fact it only requires one - the one which simplifies the domain so much as possible. And as you're strongly implying, but not acknowledging, this was not a meaningful achievement at all.

>The gap between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 is so much wider than that between GPT-4 and GPT-4o

Why is this an argument? GPT4o is obviously a much smaller model than GPT4 and is not meant to replace GPT4. It's meant to replace GPT3.5 as the free version. The fact that OpenAI can make a much smaller model and outperform or perform on par with the original GPT4 is a good sign.

OpenAI is still working on the actual GPT4 replacement.
I think it’s questionable whether you can actually use this bit count to represent the amount of information from the book. Those 1200 bits represent the way in which this particular book is different from everything else the model has ingested. Similarly, if you read an entire book yourself, your brain will just store the salient bits, not the entire text, unless you have a photographic memory.

If we take math or computer science for example: some very important algorithms can be compressed to a few bits of information if you (or a model) have a thorough understanding of the surrounding theory to go with it. Would it not amount to IP infringement if a model regurgitates the relevant information from a patent application, even if it is represented by under a kilobyte of information?
