Sorry to hear that. I forget exactly the diagnosis but maybe it was meibomian gland dysfunction and/or blepharitis? How deep? Basically with one hand pull your eyelid up or down (depending on which one) and then while keeping your eye open, which I find quite hard, wipe along the pink line of the eyelid with the eyelid wipe backwards and forwards ten times. It has to be along this line as that's where the glands are. Do this for both top and bottom eyelid. If it's really bad like mine was you might need to take some medication - I was put on steroids I think. Sorry memory not serving me hugely well here but good luck! I'll check for comments in case this wasn't clear enough.

Wonder how bad this is.
I'm guessing that most key players (Mira, Greg, Ilya, etc) negotiated deals last winter (if not before) that would ensure they kept their equity even if leaving, in return for letting Sam back in.

Probably with some form of NDA attached.
The males die shortly after mating.. it's hypothesized that the males may even offer their body as nutrition...as a way to maximize their offspring's success.

After Instagram started feeding user photos to their AI models, I stopped adding new photos to my profile. I still take photos. I wonder about your thoughts about my motivation.
Jetbrains IDEs. The expand selection feature alone has probably saved me days of my time, back when I had to do a lot of Python and yaml. The refactoring tools are also very solid.
So if they would say "you can only install it on cloud A" (like a lot of cloud software, such as Spanner), it would make it better?
I think they’re just saying no one group is immune.
This is for the best really, I can't even think of a non-profit in tech where over time it hasn't just become a system for non-productives to leech from a successful bit of technology while providing nothing and at times even stunting it's potential and burning money on farcical things.

In my experience, the thesis doesn't properly test the skills involved in being a researcher. All it shows is that you've done some research, and that you can write and talk about it given a large amount of prep time and guidance. Without any publications, it's hard to judge if the PhD knows how to do peer review for instance.

On the other hand, after having gotten through a couple of publications, a couple of seminars and at least one peer review process, the thesis becomes almost just a formality. Since by then you've already had plenty of experience writing, dealing with criticism, and presenting your work to experts.
"No, 'c_water' means 'clean_water', it has nothing to do with the temperature, so that's why you got burnt; also 'gray water' has nothing to do with a positional encoding scheme, and 'garbage collection' is just a service that goes around and picks up your discarded post-it notes - you didn't take that rotting fruit out of the bowl, so how could we be expected to know you were done with it?"

Could be that the road to AGI that OpenAI is taking is basically massive scaling on what they already have, perhaps researchers want to take a different road to AGI.
I don’t know why anyone would want a timeshare. I don’t know exactly how they work. All I know is that I hear way more ads pushing ways to get out of a timeshare than I hear ads for timeshares. So all I know is that people want to get out of them, but can’t!
Thanks, that article refers to the press release from the university itself where the exact hydrocarbon molecule is presented:

https://www.global.hokudai.ac.jp/blog/scientists-discover-a-...

This is very admirable work but I would say it's a bit of a "stretch" myself since there is little difference whether there is any bond between the two designated carbons or not. The molecule retains its structure whether or not there is a bond at that point. In parallel to this single-electron bond is a strong 3-carbon chain with pi electrons all over the place, actually holding the structure together.

A very interesting material as a cationic hydrocarbon iodide "salt".

> In what other public, online discussion forum format can anybody without admin powers, arbitrarily and unilaterally ban others from publicly replying to public posts? That idea sounds insane to me.

Regardless of all your other arguments here, the change being made to twitter here does nothing to prevent that. Blocking a user still prevents them from interacting with your posts in any way. Now they can just see the post without being able to reply to it. So I'm not exactly sure what your point is.
Fun little counterpoint: How can you _prove_ that this exact question was not in the training set?
I sold cars for a decade in the SV area. The amount of times I've seen engineers, lawyers, accountants, doctors and higher level executives make errors is pretty high. No one is 100% ON all the time.

The amount of times I watched very financially conscious people explain to me that they want to lease and then buy their vehicle afterwards, yet forget about sales tax during the buyout after lease end is comical. They were always surprised that even with a high money factor a lease to purchase still paid off...... Depending on how nice they were I would sometimes show them what the forgot.

Not in all states (it is illegal in some), but there's no mechanism for USDA inspection of the horse, which means you can't sell it.

If you slaughtered and ate your own horse, it would probably be legal (and, at personal scale, probably would not be noticed even if it were not). But ask a lawyer.

Not locked to the US, you get 1 billion tokens per month per model with Mistral since their recent announcement: https://mistral.ai/news/september-24-release/ (1 request per second is quite a harsh rate limit, but hey, free is free)

I'm pretty excited what all the services adopting free tiers is going to do to the landscape, as that should allow for a lot more experimentation and a lot more hobby projects transitioning into full-time projects, that previously felt a lot more risky/unpredictable with pricing.
Was just going to write that there is no way people trust META to become their eyes. Maybe some smaller player. We already greatly distrust f*n mobiles which eavesdrop on everyone's conversation. Considering recent cyberpunk breach I actually expect more people to try to distance themselves from this all. It will probably be top product for telemedicine and teletutoring one day, but it will never be safe in the hands of Meta, no matter how many lammas they put in the loose...

Think about it - sometimes it is much more about trust than technology. Yeah, I know all your chats go back and forth commercial GPTs, but you know half of my GPT interraction is already local inference based and it does similar job, and is OK. So that much about wanting to let s.o. see your naked friends. Their days are numbered and if you see how IT history unfolded - there is always rush to the cloud and away from the mainframe. Its like the breathwork in criya yoga, happens simultaneously in a sense.

From the funny side of things - such wearables open perspective to lot of people talking to themselves being O.k. in society. Perhaps we could only agree to have such visual interface when things get closer to what guys have in Cyberpunk 2077. Honestly I really hope someone developes a genetic enhancement or all children born 2000 suddently become enlightened enough to master telepathy.

I'm much more fascinated by the propspect of personal electronics, and how cheap they have become. I don't want Meta in them for sure, and nobody apt-get installs gcloud or fb as his must have tool.
Scientists Revive 1k-Year-Old Biblical Tree from Seed Found in a Judean Cave
This is bordering on fraud no? SBF is in prison despite making good investments with his ill gotten funds. That does not make him less culpable. Sam Altman and his cadre are the distillation of everything wrong with the Valley. It would seem you need to be spineless to work with these people.
Doesn't have to be 100% clean, but history has tremendous value to me. Often the most important question for me when fixing a problem is "was this intentional" (aka did that guy (who left 10 years before I arrived) know what he was doing?).

As far as I remember, I've had to check history for about 2/3 of bugs I've fixed.

In a perfect world each system would be documented and tested well enough that correctness could be derived from first principles, but we do not live in a perfect world :(
"Partners"? "Companions"? More like slave drivers.
And it did so specifically because of the hard work of professional high-caliber research backed by huge amounts of industry funding. Munroe knew exactly what he was talking about.
Perhaps it's the only way to survive?

And what comes first, the mission, or being able to tell people you did your best but failed to build the thing you set out to build?

Perhaps most of us are more interested in fairness than progress, and that's fine.
If you lose track of your dependencies you are just asking for supply chain attacks.

And since xz we know resourceful and patient attackers are reality and not just "it might happen".

Sorry but sprawling transitive micro-dependencies are not sustainable. It's convenient and many modern projects right now utilize it but they require a high-trust environment and we don't have that anymore, unfortunately.

I love imagining how the fish are almost an extension of the way the octopuses think. Octopuses seem to have quite a bit of independent cognition in each of their arms, which are wrangled by the central brain. Now they're wrangling independent fish brains instead of octopus arm brains. Incredible
Not the only one questioning.

The question was "have they made sure that it halts at some point?"

The answer cannot be yes, since some machines never halt.
It’s been around since at least 2016, probably a few years earlier.
Ed-tech will not work in schools until people (teachers) learn to use technology properly. Simply putting on videos for kids (as you say) cannot replace all the skills the traditional model gives us.
That's a little unfair.

If you don't mind me asking, what generation are you from? Perchance you're newer than me to Earth, among those who find it hard that others have different opinions?
Funnily, I think all the non-profit motivated talent has left, and the people left behind are those who stand to (and want to) make a killing when OpenAI becomes a for-profit. And that talent is in the majority - nothing else would explain the show of support for Altman when he was kicked out.
Zirp ended.
No, the hundreds of people who have worked on NNs prior to him arriving were the people who did the MOST actual research and work. Sam was in the right place at the right time.
There have been corruption scandals where a portion of beef being sold in the EU was partially horse meat (nearly always minced or packaged foods) would be difficult to do with a steak or at least much more difficult. So people may be inadvertently eating small amounts of horse without knowing.

The article was not clear (already the title can be easily misinterpreted), but in the end it seems to mean something very reasonable, which is good to state and clearly:

if decision making is done through a non deterministic algorithm, and the resulting decisions are criminal, the guilt remains on the decisor, and the blame cannot fall on generated data and advice: the onus of the assessment of the inputs that orient decision remain on the decisor - especially with imprecise tools -, and the whole responsibility.

(To the best of my interpretation: correct if you understood differently.)
> I'm glad, tho, that twitter does not allow this.

It does though? That is exactly what blocking does both before and after this change.
Well, I agree that the part that does the reasoning isn't an LLM in the naive form.

But that "scaffolding" seems to be an integral part of the neural net that has been built. It's not some Python for-loop that has been built on top of the neural network to brute force the search pattern.

If that part isn't part of the LLM, then o1 isn't really an LLM anymore, but a new kind of model. One that can do reasoning.

And if we chose to call it an LLM, well then now LLM's can also do reasoning intrinsically.

I must be doing something wrong then. I’ve used almost exactly this analogy. But rather than mollify the client it leads to frustration and annoyance: they see the features as similar and are frustrated/skeptical about why I’ve claimed this new sitting feature is so different than the other one. Often goes with sentences that start with “can’t you just…”.

A short history:

1986: Geoffrey Hinton publishes the backpropagation algorithm as applied to neural networks, allowing more efficient training.

2011: Jeff Dean starts Google Brain.

2012: Ilya Sutskever and Geoffrey Hinton publish AlexNet, which demonstrates that using GPUs yields quicker training on deep networks, surpassing non-neural-network participants by a wide margin on an image categorization competition.

2013: Geoffrey Hinton sells his team to the highest bidder. Google Brain wins the bid.

2015: Ilya Sutskever founds OpenAI.

2017: Google Brain publishes the first Transformer, showing impressive performance on language translation.

2018: OpenAI publishes GPT, showing that next-token prediction can solve many language benchmarks at once using Transformers, hinting at foundation models. They later scale it and show increasing performance.

The reality is that the ideas for this could have been combined earlier than they did (and plausibly future ideas could have been found today), but research takes time, and researchers tend to focus on one approach and assume that another has already been explored and doesn’t scale to SOTA (as many did for neural networks). First mover advantage, when finding a workable solution, is strong, and benefited OpenAI.
To be fair, it's not at the empathy or morality levels of humans that a lot of people consider "smart", either.

Could be a mix. We don't know what happened behind close doors last winter. Sam may indeed be happy that they leave, as that consolidates his power.

But they may be equally happy to leave, to get away from him.
Sheesh. Just use a separate schema per tenant.
Don't overthink unless you really need it.

Use a single database and RLS + session id to ensure queries already come filtered for that tenant without the need to add "where tenant_id = ?" around the application layer.
So the implementation speed came solely from developer experience and not someone pushing away this custom UI framework implementation aside?

This must be the standard distance learning process because both my son and my wife (working on her masters) have to write a post and then respond to 2 other posts. It seems like fake discourse to me, all comments are written for the instructor to read and not for the OP. There is never a response to a response, thus no real discussion.
Great, but "check whether the photo is of a bird" should be "center text in three columns".
I wouldn't buy something like this that I can not control.

And yeah, I do expect that if Google sells it, there's a chance they will allow me to control it, but if it's Facebook, there's no chance at all.

But in either case, the product is too intrusive to concede control to those companies.

The top post talks about technical culture - that's important

However, overall company culture is important too.

Does your company give a shit about your employees?

Does you hire good people or does you settle for bodies filling seats?

Do you have engaged leadership who goes out of its way to help people, be empathetic and overall set the tone for productivity and teamwork? Culture trickles down.

If you don't hire good people and don't have good company culture, it's hard to have an engineering silo that goes against the grain.
