So a new set of small models that are competitive with and beat phi-3.5 on some benchmarks is extremely impressive.

Context length is the next frontier for models in this range - getting to a true 128-200k token length in a small model would be very very useful. Hallucinations are less of an issue because you can just dump all the source data in, whole codebases can go in for stuff ranging from a refactor to ‘write documentation of the API’.

Claude and gpto-preview are the only games in town for these long context tasks right now, and they are slow. Some of the tasks need the extra intelligence, but a lot don’t. In those cases a lightweight or local model will be greatly appreciated. Not to mention context length that long will more easily enable multimodal parsing.

Missed opportunity. I would argue that the only way they CAN make these smaller models competitive is to make them openly available. As a developer, I'm not going to choose an unknown startup's model over bigger closed models from OpenAI or Anthropic. And if I really need something smaller and faster, I'd prefer to run the model myself for better control and no risk of the model being "upgraded."

Really don't expect ai to reach anything interesting.

If science doesn't understand intelligence, it means it cannot be made artificially.
Honestly, not a bad idea. I'd just have to deal with figuring out a good, standardized text-based format. I already use a git-backed Obsidian markdown knowledge base for most of my notes, so it would make a lot of sense to incorporate recipes too.

I think my current recipes app stores entries in the Recipe JSON Schema format[1]. This format is also useful since many websites will offer recipes in that schema. If I could make a conversion layer that transformed between a markdown version and the JSON recipe schema, that would probably be all I need.

That's an incredible over-generalization. My wife and I use professional photographers to capture lots of moments with my family. I've never seen so many professional photographers available to hire than now. I probably know of at least 15-20 off the top of my head that I have used in the past or know of personally.

They are definitely willing to purchase dedicated high-end equipment. iPhone cameras are absolutely not on par or better than a professional dedicated camera. They are actually known to be the worst camera in terms of clarity and accuracy than any other smart phone camera. Just check out any camera review comparing it to other smartphone cameras. There are a lot of AI enhancement models that alter the image in ways that are unrealistic and strange.

I personally purchased a nice Canon mirrorless because I want more control over my picture. I want to be able to set the mood of an image and capture the features I want to be visible on my own. It's also nice to have a separate camera that doesn't bother me with unimportant notifications and baggage that a connected device offers.

As for no business, I don't think that having a business that caters to a smaller demographic means that there is no money in it. There are few reasons why companies like Nikon, Canon, and Sony don't diversify into other markets with other products... which they absolutely do.

Pg is lying according to my source. I mean my whole post is about corruption. It fits the story that pg is capable of lying.

Keep in mind. I’m a random guy on the internet and my source isn’t 100 percent solid from my pov either. So keep that in mind when judging this whole thing.

Overall this is what happened: some person at the family retreat listened to Geoff tell the story about how pg made the decision to fire Altman and that person relayed the story to me.

Overall from the fuzzy evidence I’m thinking he was actually fired but I’m not 100 percent on that either.

You’ll have to be your own judge for this. This is one of those things that people will never know for sure.

Same with the nepotism. Nothing will ever be proven here. The best info an average layman can get is rumors from someone willing to relay this gossip anonymously on a forum and you can’t even be sure if this guy (me) is making all this stuff up. You’ll have to form your own opinion and take a leap of faith in either direction or leave it as an unknown.
I first asked for "How to track failures" and it told me some code and how to look at analytics. Eventually I figured out that I had to explicitly track for hallucinations / up and down events etc.. so I was overly broad but was able to drill down and understand the system so maybe I was unclear but it taught me how your app works.

It's significantly better now, because your daughter didn't get a real lobotomy. Which was the expected treatment for a young woman who misbehaves.

It's not typical to get antidepressants after a single meeting with a general practitioner. In fact, I don't even know if that can happen.

That being said, depression is real, and it does take lives. I've known many people who have successfully survived depression via SSRI's and no longer take them. That's the flip side you're not seeing. I've also seen unmedicated people take their lives.
French is just badly pronounced Latin/Italian.

Seriously, French is just a very crassified Romance language. As a near-native French speaker I was shocked one time in Paris at a restaurant where our server was from Italy and pronounce every letter in every French word and I still understood him.

Dropping 's's (and leaving behind a circumflex to remind one of the dropped 's')? That's a pretty crass evolution (but see the note at the bottom). Dropping trailing letters in words? Same thing. I understand that "oc" is really the Latin "hoc", meaning "this", and that "oui" is just an evolution -a shortening- of "hoc hic" ("this that"). "Oi" (pronounced "wah" in English) is just a vowel shift.

French is often treated as a high-class language, so I say 'crass' mainly to remind people that the evolution of French was really the result of every day people not treating it like a dead language to be preserved.
As things are right now, this is not going to end well for Matt.

The GPL license (and the FSF) is not against the idea of using GPL'd software for commercial purposes. This is why many GNU/Linux distributions offer paid support, and is how Red Hat and Canonical make money by selling premium support for a product whose source code is available anyway.

In fact, restricting access to the software for reasons such as "you are not allowed to make money with this software", is against the Four Essential Freedoms that the GPL adheres to. Just take a look at the FSF License List [1]. Even if it's for political, commercial or humanitarian reasons, forbidding a group from using the software will mark the entire license as non-free.

They could move to GPLv3, or even to AGPL, which is more appropriate for server-side software that runs over the network anyway. However, as another comment in this thread has pointed out, hosting companies will not appreciate the move and will probably fork to get away with it. And if this happens, then WordPress is doomed, just like other products that have switched licenses in the past such as Redis, Terraform or Elasticsearch [2]. They got tired of being ransacked by other companies that didn't spend resources on the product, but they lost momentum because they were forked and people went with the fork.

This is precisely why at the same time I understand the motives of Matt behind what he's doing, because there is precedent that some companies will just want the glory without the grind. However, there is probably no legal basis for the actions he's taking right now.

[2]: In fact, ElasticSearch recently announced that they were now adding AGPL as an option, but time will say if this change came too late or not.

The longshoremen unions are legitimately the reason Americans dislike unions. They are involved in organized crime. They are nepotistic. Worst of all they're luddites who are directly causing inflation on imported goods by refusing to allow any automation at our ports. American ports are the least competitive in the world because of this bs.
I don't consider the term 'self-taught' to mean that you didn't learn from others. Before the Internet, the local library was the primary source of information. People would go spend an enormous amount of time reading and browsing books written by other people to learn a skill.

I would consider those people to be self taught.
from the example it didn't detect any music between 11:30pm and 9:30am. I don't know what corner of the mission that could possibly be.
It's in jest, but I find a simple example like this to be very helpful.

Would have gone a long way to me understanding Monads, rather than some esoteric mathematical symbols.
The mistake in that article is the assumption that these companies collecting those gigantic VC funding rounds are looking to stay ahead of the pack and be there even 10 years down the road.

That's a fundamental misunderstanding of the (especially) US startup culture in the last maybe 10-20 years. Only very rarely is the goal of the founders and angel investors to build an actual sustainable business.

In most cases the goal is to build enough perceived value by wild growth financed by VC money & by fueling hype that an subsequent IPO will let the founders and initial investors recoup their investment + get some profit on top. Or, find someone to acquire the company before it reaches the end of its financial runway.

And then let the poor schmucks who bought the business hold the bag (and foot the bill). Nobody cares if the company becomes irrelevant or even goes under at that point anymore - everyone who did has has recouped their expense already. If the company stays afloat - great, that's a bonus but not required.
He also stood up for Palestinian children and was noticeably blacklisted by some in the showbiz industry for it. Shows you the ideological vengefulness of some in this industry.

Kristofferson's political stand helped ensure that his name received a black mark within the show-business stablishment, as he said, "Particularly in LA, I found a considerable lack of work after doing concerts for the Palestinian children and for a couple of gigs with Vanessa Redgrave and if that's the way it has to be, that's the way it has to be. If you support human rights, you gotta support them everywhere."

Unless my memory is very hazy none of that is related to hooks.

Identity in React has always relied on vDOM structure or `key` which was introduced in React 0.4.0 (July 17 2013, <2 months after initial public release).

Neither is for me. Note I didn't mention functional once.
GenAI is not a serious solution to anything, for now.
I posit that programming is vulnerable, because upper management does not realize that even the most sophisticated AIs can only barely do the simplest jobs of junior developers.

Of course, they're going to destroy their companies when they layoff their developers and replace them with under-skilled prompt engineers. But by then, the damage will be done, both among the employers and the employees.
nice would be to add mapping data, and correlate to other factors.
A team of student archaeologists volunteering in the French town of Eu has made a remarkable discovery: a 200-year-old message, rolled up in a bottle and tied with string, written by an archaeologist who once worked in the area.
If you want to say AI have reached intellectual Excellence because we have a few that have peaked in specific topics I would argue that those are so custom and bespoke that they are primarily a reflection on their human creators. Things like Champions and specific games or solutions to specific hard algorithms are not generally repurposable, and all of the general AI we have are a little bit dumb and when they work well they produce results that are generally mid. On occasionally we can get a few things we can sneak by and say they're better but that's hardly a commodity that's people sifting through large piles of mid for gems.

There are a lot of ways if it did reach intellectual excellence that we could argue that it would make Humanity more mediocre, I'm not sure I buy such arguments but there are lots of them and I can't say they're all categorically wrong.
No, clearly, AIs do all the work for them.
Something that I think is a bit misguided about this is that YC, at founding, was pretty unfashionable itself. The "accelerator" model wasn't particularly proven, and the thesis was that there was an untapped talent pool of "hackers" who just needed to figure out how to run a business and get connected to the right people/resources in order to be successful founders. Compared to other accelerator-type opportunities at the time (and some that still exist), YC was extremely founder friendly.

YC 1.0 made good on that vision — the success rate in the early batches is indicative of that. Once PG stepped back and handed the reigns over to Sam Altman, YC focused more on scaling up, while the startup ecosystem grew significantly as well, specifically around "Web 2.0". At the time, it wasn't particularly difficult to create a venture-backable web business if you had the technical skills and the right resources to achieve distribution. Along the same lines, being a startup founder became a viable alternative to becoming a banker or management consultant for high-achieving individuals. So naturally YC, as a backer of hyper-successful startups that generally have an easier time fundraising, became a magnet for the status-seeking subset of high-achieving individuals, leading to it becoming more of a stamp of prestige.

Since Sam Altman's tenure, it seems like a lot of the initial edge that YC had at founding is significantly diluted. There are a lot of aspiring founders seeking funding, but the Web 2.0 opportunity doesn't really exist anymore (at least not at the same scale). So today, YC looks much more like a large seed fund that funds more specialized businesses rather than the types of founders of the initial cohorts (i.e. hackers that want to build Web 2.0 businesses), and I think people are overly critical of that scale up. 2005 was a very specific point in time for the startup industry, and the YC thesis was not only well-timed, but extremely effective through ~2014 — but it's been difficult for them to figure out how to continue the momentum given changes in the ecosystem.
Google AI's Testing NotebookLM is an exciting step towards creating a more dynamic and interactive note-taking experience. By integrating AI, it enhances the ability to organize, documents for registration of company, understand, and extract meaningful insights from complex information, potentially transforming how users interact with data in research, education, and beyond. Looking forward to seeing how it develops! https://www.houseofcompanies.io/post/checklist-company-regis...
That’s not a good reason.

Especially in our world where strong typing is something preferable.

Fewer characters at the cost of clarity is poor api design.
Implicitness is almost always worse than explicitness.

Explicit !== clumsy

And again, almost nothing else in the js ecosystem behaves like this. Especially at the time of the big hooks update to react.

Also, again, it’s not a tuple. It’s an array with 2 elements. JavaScript does not have tuples or the semantics for interacting with them as such.
You just need to know that there’s always going to be 2 elements.

That extra knowledge burden is the hallmark of poor api design.

Very different tools, applications almost don't intersect actually.

ClickHouse is an analytical database (for events). Yes, you can do metrics in there (or PostgreSQL for that matter). Observability has their own needs, so specialized solutions work better, more integrations and out-of-the box tooling already provided.

With generic databases it's more like a constructor that you'd need to develop a lot to become workable. For example, let's say you have 50m active time series, with 1%/hour churn rate. What would be the database structure in ClickHouse?
(my answer is that I don't know. I know mostly VictoriaMetrics, and there's no such question there, the structure is already implemented).
Replit and Vanta stand out
A number of states have laws where you must disclose if the call is being recorded. I pointed this out to a former supervisor that was using otter.ai to record and transcribe calls he would make with potential leads and conference contacts. He said that law didn't apply in the state of our home-office. I told him it applies on calls made to subjects in other states. He disagreed. Not a lawyer, but I don't think that's how it works.

And something like this... yikes. Sure, boss, you're not doing eyeball tracking, but all they would have to do is install this on a work computer and just ask AI for a percentage of time not directly spent hammering out code and pay you piecemeal per keystroke or something truly awful. (and the webcam module is coming later, I'm sure.) The future is dystopian.

> Can anyone explain why something like this is necessary on a Macbook, but when I use my airpods with my iPhone I seem to get high quality audio and microphone usage at the same time?

Are you sure? How often does your phone have the microphone active while simultaneously continuing to play audio? When the mic is active on a phone it almost always pauses music or video or whatever you're listening to. At that point it can switch modes and then switch back when you're done and go back to music.

On a PC (meaning the overall category of personal computers including Macs, not just a Wintel machine) there isn't that sort of integration. If you start a VoIP call with music going the music just keeps going, so the mode switch is obvious.
Not all EU countries are two-party consent.
Maps! Maps?
But OpenAI doesn’t lead the pack. How do you determine when to switch or when to just keep going with (potentially marginally) inferior product?
> they get to see as many options as possible, because that's obviously better for them.

That assumes that evaluating a candidate is zero-cost, which surely isn't true.
We're focusing on performance (built on WASM and WebGL). Quadratic speaks multiple programming languages fluently and executes in the browser on your GPU. We connect natively to popular data sources, are source-available, and can be self-hosted. It's a modern reimagining of what a spreadsheet is and does.
> Regardless, I just read the transcript for that video and he doesn’t give any timeline so it seems premature to crow that he was wrong.

If you watch the video he's clearly saying this was was something that was already happening. Keep in mind it was made 10 years ago, and in it he says "this isn't science fiction; the robots are here right now." When bringing up the 25% unemployment rate he says "just the stuff we talked about today, the stuff that already works, can push us over that number pretty soon."

Baxter being able to do everything a worker can for a fraction of the price definitely wasn't true.

Here's what he said about self-driving cars. Again, this was 2014: "Self driving cars aren't the future - they're here and they work."

"The transportation industry in the united states employs about 3 million people. Extrapolating worldwide, that's something like 70 million jobs at a minimum. These jobs are over."

Which of Hinton's statements are you claiming were dismissed by people here but were later proven to be correct?
Not to talk about the lack of sake error handling in Go.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/386/
A controversial and hypothetical drug which might help addicts would be a companion drug that somehow prevented the development of tolerance. I know nothing about the brain so that's probably laughably impossible, but if it existed it could cheapen the cost of a habit and lead to fewer ODs because they would have no need to chase their tolerance to feel the same effects. It would certainly have other side effects because someone could essentially just remain high 24/7 (in the extreme case).
And you're assuming political backroom antics. Neither assumption is borne out in any way beyond the fact you seem to think China is inherently scary because it's China.

What we do know for certain is that Well Fargo, based in the US, has a long and well documented history of financial tom-fuckery that has been proven, in US courts, to be tom-fuckery that they were given absolute, by any standard you'd care to apply, slap-on-the-wrist punishments for.

In contrast, China sentenced a man to die for his financial tom-fuckery that was proven in their justice system to be tom-fuckery. Whether or not you agree with that being his punishment, it was certainly, IMO, more appropriate to at least punish the person responsible rather than parking liability in an LLC, issueing middling fines, and calling it a fucking day. And considering how many times Wells Fargo (and others!) have had these kinds of cases come up, be proven, be slapped with fines that don't even remotely approach a real consequence, and have gone on to do additional tom-fuckery, I'd say it's well established at this point that the fines aren't doing shit.

Like, to be clear, I'm anti-death penalty and that would include bankers, I don't think Wells Fargo's CEO should be shot for what he did. That being said, if him being shot was a possible outcome, I have a strong feeling he'd be much more hesitant to do financial crimes via his business.
