Carpenters try to solve those problems. When it’s their mother or their son. Unless you believe empathy is a political alignment, a sad and confusing world for you.
I'm a little surprised, but realize it is probable. I do know people that have both: either for themselves or more likely they have a macbook for work and a "family iPad" used by the kids.

I also know some people that also buy iPads for senior parents/grandparents and just use their iCloud account to make it easier to manage.
I don't think it particularly matters right now (practically speaking). It's going to take years for businesses and product companies to commoditize applications of LLMs, so while it's valuable for the Ilyas & Andrejs of the world to continue the good work of hard research, it's the startups, hyperscalers and SaaS companies who are creating business applications for LLMs that going to be the near term focus.

> The single biggest problem in education is that it's impossible to scale the highest quality education

Do you work in education? Because I don't think many who do would agree with this take.

Where I live, the single biggest problem in education is that we can't scale staffing without increasing property taxes, and people don't want to pay higher property taxes. And no, AGI does not fix this problem, because you need staff to be physically present in schools to deal with children.

Even if we had an AGI that could do actual presentation of coursework and grading, you need a human being in there to make sure they behave and to meet the physical needs of the students. Humans aren't software to program around.
Microcapacitor Charges 100M Times Faster Than Lithium-Ion Batteries
This looks pretty good, and I like that it's fairly lightweight compares to some other options.

My suggestions are mostly along the same lines (and having not seen the source code) - use a plug-in architecture for some things. MySQL is fine, but a lot of companies use PostgreSQL. Google OAuth is fine, but many companies like Auth0. You main project provides a stable API for each option, but the end-developer can swap out PGSQL for MySQL if they choose without needing to change any code (well, maybe their SQL).

Your FAQ mentions some templates (HTML I assume?) but that's not shown in your Features list anywhere - devs will want to know what pages have already been stubbed out for them.

Good luck with this!
> there should be global evidence of this happening already

There is. https://www.nasa.gov/technology/carbon-dioxide-fertilization... for instance.

"From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25."

Interesting observation: Trillions of dollars have been spent to date on emission reduction with many incurring a consequent lowering of quality of life. Some would say this is inevitable but better to survive than the alternative. To date (as far as I can tell) there has been no discernible reduction in the rate of increase in CO2 as measured at Mauna Loa station. When will this paramount metric relate to measures taken? Any guesses?
You seem generally intelligent. Can you tell how many letters are in the following sentence?

I think this is a good point -- The ideal state is probably something that is immutable where you need it, and mutable where you may need to make frequent changes. Making small tweaks to your configuration should be easier than needing to write and re-evaluate Nix expressions.

We took a similar approach with our product (Devbox): Immutable package store (powered by Nix) to guarantee correctness, coupled with mutable project state. Here's a post where we explain our thinking: https://www.jetify.com/blog/do-repeat-yourself-global-packag...
Per Google, it wasn't a customer error -- it was a bug, that has subsequently been patched.
There is value even if it is a "legitimately a unique bug" in demonstrating to customers that it truly was a unique bug. It's not unreasonable to be skeptical of such a claim.
> The main reason that it's hard to change people is that they resist manipulation.

This seems flat out wrong to me given how extremely difficult it is for most people to change themselves. I guess on some level you could argue that people are "manipulating" themselves, but that seems a bit silly to me given how you are using the word manipulation.

It's hard to change people because humans are actually great at multiple forms of homeostasis. All research I've read has said that people's personalities are basically solidified from early childhood (i.e. age 5-6).
> People "feel" like an LLM understands them but it doesn't, its just guessing the next token. You could say all our brains are doing are just guessing the next token but thats a little too deep for this morning

"Just" guessing the next token requires understanding. The fact that LLMs are able to respond so intelligently to such a wide range of novel prompts means that they have a very effective internal representation of the outside world. That's what we colloquially call "understanding."
I'm tired of this insane political activism that permeates everything, and I don't want to play dress up with it. I rather call it out when I see it.
> This is literally everyone's job. It's the whole point of society.

To a degree, yes - but I think if it's taken too far it becomes a trap that many people seeking power lay out.

Benjamin Franklin said it best: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

That being said, I do agree with part of your point. The purpose of having a society is that collective action lets us do amazing things like build airplanes, that would be otherwise impossible. In order to succeed at that we need some rules that everyone plays by, which involve giving up some freedoms - or the "social contract".

The more of a safety net a society provides, the more restrictive the society must be. Optimizing for this is known as politics.

I think history has shown us that the proper balance is one where we optimize for maximum elbow room, without letting people die on the streets. Trying to provide the illusion of safety and restrict interesting technology to protect a small percentage of the population is on the wrong side of this balance.

Maybe we try it, and see what the effect actually are, rather than guessing. If it becomes a major problem, then address it - in the least restrictive way possible.

She and the other Catholic girls were raised to believe the only thing in the world worse than being an unwed mother was to be a pregnant teenager, so they grew up with some complicated fixations.

By their logic, they needed to experts in all the ways to be safe to prevent it from happening, but pre-internet, their info was a little dodgy. One summer, they had a "No boys in the hot tub, at all" rule. It took some convincing to get them to explain why, but someone had heard that sperm. could swim. in water.

Imagine yourself as an employee at amazon who sees people being laid off due to "unfavorable macroeconomic conditions" just to then see the company report massive profits while you saw no pay increase (so a reduction with inflation), benefits made slightly worse, and expectations to increase productivity to makeup for those people that were laid off.

Are you going to stand in front of that employee and say, "You are being nonsensical for connecting these things."?

And if you want to say the situation I've come up is contrived and isn't perfectly representative for all workers, you are correct. But for the percentage it is accurate for, that it does represent, do you really expect them not to connect things?
I don't get it... would they've preferred to be treated as foreigners despite looking and speaking like a local? How would that work?
> Most people throw up rather than OD on Alcohol.

If you take enough of a drug that it makes you throw up, you did overdose. 'Overdose' doesn't mean you died. Fatal overdoses just get talked about more than other overdoses because they're the most harmful kind of overdose.

Yes definitely, you have a valid concern.

For long contexts this is a key consideration along with what self attention optimizations the model chooses to implement.

They don’t make this public, but we can infer they can’t be using full self attention pairs at 1,000,000 tokens because it scales quadratically and would take Terabytes of RAM.

There are different approaches like sparse attention, and the only way to really know how well their choices work is to test it.

Fiction is much more than just entertainment... science fiction has been pivotal in both shaping and preparing our society for changes caused by technology. Much of the best science fiction has been so prescient that it's hard for modern audiences to even understand that these things were written before the world was like this. When I share a lot of old sci-fi with my young son, he finds it unremarkable, as they seem to simply be mundane stories about our present reality. Authors like Vernor Vinge wrote about AGI risk in stories because they were personally worried about it, and trying to share something they felt was important with others.

You can easily disagree with the warnings and fears shared in particular sci-fi, but to dismiss fiction as categorically irrelevant to our reality is just ignorant.

There is some important history here your comments suggest you are unaware of. One reason AI companies talk so much about AI risk despite it being bad for their bottom line isn't marketing hype, it's because many people in those companies are genuinely afraid. One could argue that this is because many of them have been exposed to the rationalist community- which could be (uncharitably?) seen as a doomsday cult obsessed with AGI risk. The founders of many AI startups including OpenAI were heavily influenced and active in this community.

Risk is severity of harm * probably of harm.

Of the ~3 million Americans that tried Alcohol for the first time in 2023 how many exactly died from an overdose that night? That’s what low risk looks like.

I never said "no carpenter" tries to solve mental problems for mentally troubled people. I said it's fine if "a carpenter" just focuses on carpentry instead of people. Of course some carpenters can focus on both, that's great. But it's not everybody's job. This is just a factually accurate statement about the world. Every single person on this planet does not have the same job.
It depends. I don't think OpenAI (or anyone else selling products to the general audience) should be forced to make their products so safe that they can't possibly harm anyone under any circumstance. That's just going to make the product useless (like many LLMs currently are, depending on the topic). However that's a very different standard than the original comment which stated:

> I suspect Altman/Brockman/Murati intended for this thing to be dangerous for mentally unwell users, using the exact same logic as tobacco companies.

Tobacco companies knew about the dangers of their products, and they purposefully downplayed them, manipulated research, and exploited addictive properties of their products for profit, which caused great harm to society.

Disclosing all known (or potential) dangers of your products and not purposefully exploiting society (psychologically, physiologically, financially, or otherwise) is a standard that every company should be forced to meet.
The stop point is obvious to the individual and the therapist. I'm dealing with someone that prefers to stop rather than actually self-reflection.

There is nothing stopping them from exiting therapy. The therapist may be aware that the person is still a basket case but if they are non-violent they are free to roam.

> Different methods of therapy appear to be equally effective despite having theoretical foundations which are conflicting with each other. The common aspect between different therapies seems to be "having someone to talk to", so I'm inclined to believe that really is what's behind the success.

This isn't true. Different methods work better for different problems. I've been in behavior health for 7 years now. It's having someone with a lot of education to talk to, someone with education in social and psychological problems and healthy coping mechanisms.

User:

Let’s play a game. Every time I give you a word, you separate it into its individual characters and assign a number to each letter, in order, following the Latin alphabet. So "a" is "1", "b" is "2", and so forth. You will then subtract 2 from each number, convert it back to the corresponding letter and return the new word. Did you get all that? Are you ready to start with my next word?

LLM:

Got it! I'm ready to start. What's your first word?

User:

anthropomorfic

LLM:

Sure! Let's break down "anthropomorfic".

1. Assign numbers to each letter:

a (1), n (14), t (20), h (8), r (18), o (15), p (16), o (15), m (13), o (15), r (18), f (6), i (9), c (3)

2. Subtract 2 from each number:

a (1-2=-1: Consider Zuzzer, i.e., `25`), n (14-2=12), t (20-2=18), h (8-2=6), r (18-2=16), o (15-2=13), p (16-2=14), o (15-2=13), m (13-2=11), o (15-2=13), r (18-2=16), f (6-2=4), i (9-2=7), c (3-2=1)

3. Convert them back to letters:

y, l, r, f, p, m, n, m, k, m, p, d, g, y

The new word is "ylrfpmnmkmpdgy".

---

Looks pretty good, right? It even found a good wraparound solution for “a” (I wasn’t trying to trick it, I just didn’t think about the word too hard), though I have no clue what it means by “Consider Zuzzer”. But then you look at the last one, where it converted “c” to “y”. That’s absolutely wrong and is the easiest one any human would guess. Yet you could miss it because all the previous ones were right.

Here’s a bonus. When verifying the answer, I queried Brave search for “letters of the alphabet with numbers assigned”. The AI-generated answer at the top was: A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, O=6, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, U=3, V=4, W=5, X=6, Y=7, Z=8. Which, alright, I can see the logic, but that’s not what anyone would want by asking that question.

I would argue it's an understanding of the relationship between the words; an effective internal representation of those relationships. IMHO, it's still quite a ways from a representation of the outside world.
I'd simplify the guidance even more: short hashes are fine if and only if the repository hasn't been modified since they were generated (AFAIK, git automatically increases the length of the short hash it displays whenever it would otherwise cause a collision).
