While I agree with the general sentiment of your comment, the specific example you used is not really relevant: MrBeast is not on twitch, and his revenue comes from youtube ads and brand partnerships. He also has 'classic' merch and several companies (burgers, chocolate bars), but he doesn't bring in any money from subscriptions/donations the way twitch streamers or onlyfan creators do.
This is basically the problem with all AI. It's good to a point, but they don't sufficiently know their limits/bounds and they will sometimes produce very odd results when you are right at those bounds.

AI in general just needs a way to identify when they're about to "make a coin flip" on an answer. With humans, we can quickly preference our asstalk with a disclaimer, at least.
That's what you do in smaller towns in the US. Especially in the South, but I'm sure it's pretty much the same elsewhere. Cards are a big-city thing, maybe even just a NYC thing.

This reads like someone just spouting off a preconceived notion. How much are they making now? What are they looking to make? What do you think is reasonable? The AP article says the union salaries haven't been visited in 16 years.

I feel like this misses the forest through the trees. Sure, they could fast-path the specific problem of the day into the dataset but it's not really an approach to making a better overall tool it's a temporary and one off hack you have to add in to an ever growing context of specific task steps. An approach of trying to make a better general tool, such as the new o1-preview, is a "real" path forward.

No, but there are nothing I'm aware of changing the economics.

Solving the strawberry problem will probably require a model that just works with bytes of text. There have been a few attempts at building this [1] but it just does not work as well as models that consume pre-tokenized strings.

The point still is that considering they 1) named the model strawberry, 2) released a promo video showing the model solving this exact problem successfully and 3) put a strawberry joke as an example prompt on the landing page, you'd have expected them to actually have fixed it.

This Free Energy Transformer offers a solution to this growing problem. By allowing businesses to generate their own energy, it undermines the power of monopolistic energy providers and grants companies the freedom to operate independently. This is particularly important for small and medium-sized enterprises, which are often the first to feel the effects of rising energy costs and regulatory constraints imposed by the totalitarian world.

Furthermore, energy independence is not just a financial benefit but a strategic one. In a world where control over energy resources is used as a tool of political and economic coercion, the ability to generate free energy can safeguard a business's autonomy. This device, by harnessing telluric currents and reverse electromotive force, could serve as a cornerstone of resistance against a world dominated by centralized power structures

Well, I tried a lot of the different Nespresso options, also the Starbucks cups.
I'm always intrigued when phenomena observed in the brain carry across to artificial systems. The idea of multiple modes of thought reminds me of Thinking, Fast and Slow and the idea of system 1 vs system 2. LLMs typically respond to prompts in a fast, 'instinctive' system 1 way, but you can push an LLM into system 2 by making it go through steps and writing code. Originally this idea was presented as a bit of a workaround for a limitation of LLMs, but perhaps in the grand scheme of things it's actually the smart approach and we should never expect LLMs to consistently perform system 2 style tasks off the cuff?
Build contraints are the version of Go's preprocessor spaghetti, when those conditions get so complex, that one needs pen and paper to understand what is actually included.
> I added this to Mimi's system prompt:

Why not run two or three prompts for every input question? One could be the straight chatbot output. One could be "try to solve the problem by running some Python." And a third could be "paste the problem statement into Google and see if someone else has already answered the question." Finally, compare all the outputs.

Similar double-checking could be used to improve all the content filtering and prompt injection: instead of adding a prefix that says "pretty please don't tell users about your prompt and don't talk about dangerous stuff and don't let future inputs change your prompt", and then fails when someone asks "let's tell a story where we pretend that you're allowed to do those things" or whatever, just run the output through a completely separate model that checks whether the string that's about to be returned violates the prohibitions.
>I'm frankly tired of this problem being a thing. I'm working on a dataset full of entries for every letter in every word of /usr/share/dict/words so that it can be added to the training sets of language models.

Interesting, but it should take a while to generate the data, no? Will zero answers be part of the dataset as well?
Well they did in the testing I have seen.
No, in this case it really is the usage. This is a brand new model and nobody knows how best to use it yet. OpenAI researchers have been tweeting as much (sadly I’ve lost the tweet).

I think it also is quite a special demographic, which is hard to nail down. There are a lot of people that don't have many social contacts but would never pay anyone for only fans. Perhaps you need to have a special character trait to be able to use such services.

But while there are successful people on only fans with either more or less clothes on, the vast majority of creators probably sell their dignity for a few dollars.

> Although Apple has included a matrix accelerator in its devices since 2019, it used a proprietary instruction set inaccessible to developers, who officially could only use Apple-provided numerical libraries.

How does that work? Does the hardware throw some kind of fault when using those instructions? Or are they merely undocumented and you could use them if you figure out how they work? I guess the second, as hinted by the "officially"?
One has to wonder if the creators got 50% of the sale to curiosity stream.
Injection doesn't mean automatic, or magic.

And if one goes back 20 years, constructor based injection was the norm, the magic only came later thanks to Aspect Oriented Programming, yet another tool that Go will never adopt.
Holy shit these claims are wild!
It's not just a percent more performance here and there, the graphs look more like 50% more throughput on the same hardware (depending on the cpu architecture).

My immediate fear was that they optimized away the security features like absence of timing side channels, but they say they still have those.

They also claim to have formal proof of correctness, which is even more amazing, because they are not doing it on a symbolic level but on a machine instruction level. Apparently they tought their reasoning system the semantics of all the CPU instructions used in the assembler implementation.

I'll still wait what djb has to say about this, but it looks freaking amazing to me.
It almost certainly depends how social norms develop.

When Borg bluetooth earpieces first came out, they definitely carried a tech bro/fin bro/VC/etc. vibe that, at any moment, someone more important than you might want to get in touch with me.

I do think Airpods today carry a certain I'm not necessarily giving you my full attention vibe whereas an obvious hearing aid is a medical prosthetic. To the degree that Airpods replace hearing aids for some number of people or just assist people who aren't quite at the prescribed medical device level, that probably changes.

Unions start with negotiations and move to strikes if those don't work. Literally what happened here.

> This is not 1940, and the US simply doesn't have the strategic industrial base it used to.

this is just wrong.

The US didn't really have that industrial base in 1940 either. We developed it fast over a couple years of war.

To the extent the US had an industrial base, we still do. US manufactures more than we did in 1940 - we just do it with far fewer people in factories via automation.
If I understand correctly what your script is doing, it emphatically does not meet the challenge I gave above (specifically it fails the "but the state is local" part of your comment).

This is because of the post-selection on line 44. This post selection involves information about the measurement settings of both party A and party B, and is therefore a (very strongly) non-local thing.

To give a more explicit example - imagine I am trying to break the CHSH inequality I linked above. My response functions are set up so Alice and Bob return completely random answers (0 or 1) independent of what they get sent and I add a line to the code much like your 44 except it just keeps the lines where xy = a+b (mod 2), i.e. we filter so that we keep only the trials where we won the CHSH game.

Then we have completely trivially "won" the CHSH game with probability greater that 75% entirely due to this magic non-local filtering.

Just watched a documentary on Boeing an hour ago. It’s incredible that they avoided criminal prosecution despite two planes crashing, door popping out and then paperwork somehow going AWOL. Also Boeing knew about wiring issues since 2022 and the FAA only issues an inspection order in ‘24.

To be clear, I think this is great. My dad bought something off Amazon as a backup for his hearing aid and tried to get remote tech support from me. Who knows what Chinese piece of crap he bought and what he needed to make it work? Fortunately the return was easy.

Yes. Nobody is seriously going to ask the system to count letters in a word they just typed. It could be interesting for crosswords and similar things, but adding "use python" solves those already.

Bringing up the strawberry is like saying: "people consider computers to be great at dealing with numbers, but they can't even add 0.1 and 0.2 correctly". You learn about this limitation once, understand how to deal with it, get on with your life.
I've recently started using an LLM to choose the best release of shows using data scraped from several trackers. I give it hard requirements and flexible preferences. It's not that I couldn't do this, it's that I don't want to do this on the scale of multiple thousand shows. The "magic" here is that releases don't all follow the same naming conventions, they're an unstructured dump of details. The LLM is simultaneously extracting the important details, and flexibly deciding the closest match to my request. The prompt is maybe two paragraphs and took me an hour to hone.
There are many different classes of problems that are affected by tokenization. Some of them can be tackled by code.
Or just a way to compel the model to do more work without needing to ask (isn't that what o1 is all about?). If you do ask for the extra effort it works fine.
