From my experience, uv is way better and it's also PEP compliant in terms of pyproject.toml. Which means in cas uv isn't a big player in the future, migrating away isn't too difficult.

some other imporant quotes: "Average human off the street: 70-80%. STEM college grad: >95%. Panel of 10 random humans: 99-100%" -@fchollet on X

So, considering that the $3400/task system isn't able to compete with STEM college grad yet, we still have some room (but it is shrinking, i expect even more compute will be thrown and we'll see these barriers broken in coming years)

Also, some other back of envelope calculations:

The gap in cost is roughly 10^3 between O3 High and Avg. mechanical turkers (humans).
Via Pure GPU cost improvement (~doubling every 2-2.5 years) puts us at 20~25 years.

The question is now, can we close this "to human" gap (10^3) quickly with algorithms, or are we stuck waiting for the 20-25 years for GPU improvements. (I think it feels obvious: this is new technology, things are moving fast, the chance for algorithmic innovation here is high!)

I also personally think that we need to adjust our efficiency priors, and start looking not at "humans" as the bar to beat, but theoretical computatble limits (show gaps much larger ~10^9-10^15 for modest problems). Though, it may simply be the case that tool/code use + AGI at near human cost covers a lot of that gap.
So, how does it work out? Are the customers happy? Are the bosses at my work going to be equally happy with my AI replacement?

In a competent implementation, real-time metering can enable near-real-time pricing where consumers are incentivized to vary their consumption to help grid stability.

Your EV can modulate its charging very quickly, and "background" loads like electric heating, water heater or even A/C can also be modulated somewhat quickly (though not as quick as an EV's inverter).

The meter needs however to make sure you indeed complied with the demand in order to pay you fairly (otherwise if people can defect on their obligation and still get paid, it defeats the purpose of the scheme of ensuring grid stability).

Doing this at the substation is not granular enough because then you can no longer determine who contributed what and whom to pay, which then removes any incentive for people actually participate.

In theory, this should lead to significant savings and efficiency benefits, as everyone opted into the scheme can now be used as an on-demand load to dump excess power (during which power is not only free, but the consumer may even be paid to consume that power) to smooth out supply/demand fluctuations.

Of course, the UK's smart meter scheme is administered by Capita, so don't expect any of this to actually happen, work reliably or actually lead to any kind of significant benefits, but in theory, it would be a great thing as long as it's done by competent people without corruption/mismatched incentives.

What? Subjective claims still support an argument, just more loosely than objective ones do. Instead of saying my observations are wrong or that you disagree with them, your stance is that "opinions aren't real"? That's absurd.
> The security is broken and it broadcasts your information in the clear. I set up a RTLSDR plugged into my laptop in my kitchen and was able to read the energy utilization of my entire neighborhood after about 10min of work.

In America, yes. Here the meter->gateway is encrypted zigbee, the gateway is over 3/4g.

However the remote contactor is more of an issue. You can be turned off remotely without much ceremony.
It is the consensus. I can’t think of a single good researcher I know who doesn’t think this. The last holdout might have been Sutskever, and at NeurIPS he said pretaining as we know it is ending because we ran out of data and synthetics can’t save it. If you have an alternative proposal for how it avoids death I’d love to hear it but currently there are 0 articulated plans that seem plausible and I will bet money that this is true of most researchers.
The table row with 6k figure refers to high efficiency, not high compute mode. From the blog post:

Note: OpenAI has requested that we not publish the high-compute costs. The amount of compute was roughly 172x the low-compute configuration.
>> I want 5-20, one for every space in my house.

I don't have a small house, but I'm trying to think why I would need even 5 of these, let alone 20. The majority of the time my family spends together is in the open layout on our main floor where the kitchen flows into the living room with an adjacent sun room off the living room.

I'm genuinely curious why you need so many of these.

I do agree that if you do have a legit use case for so many, buying so many in essentially a first run is a risky thing. Coupled with the ability for this to be supported for more than a fleeting couple of years is also a huge risk.
Yeah, this is sort of meaningless without some idea of cost or consequences of a wrong answer. One of the nice things about working with a competent human is being able to tell them "all of our jobs are on the line" and knowing with certainty that they'll come to a good answer.

Bad data to cover up problems or gain benefit is a longstanding problem with official statistics published in the People's Republic of China:

Even after the Great Leap Forward, and as early as 1982, the Chinese Central Committee found that “the most difficult thing for a leadership unit to do is to collect accurate information at the basic level,” (Tasi, 2008, p. 805) as local officials often inflated their village income figures. In a survey of 316 villages, 81% of officials said their reported village income was higher than their real income, demonstrating that official reports for net income per capita in villages differed from their true values (Tsai, 2008, p. 809). Motivations for the inflation of income per capita lay in taxation rates and revenue. When economic figures were inflated in a village, officials were able to increase tax rates and thus increase the amount of levies they collected, taking more from citizens who had less to begin with, bearing a semblance to the Maoist era.

Another major area where official statistics lied concerned the impact of policies implemented under Mao Zedong. It wasn't until the 1980s that scholars using statistical methods and modern population figures were able to determine that tens of millions of excess deaths had occurred during the Great Leap Forward 25 years earlier, which could be attributed to specific CCP policies during that time (https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Mortality-C...)
How these ESP32-systems work is that you send a wake word to the device itself. It can detect the word without an internet connection, the device itself understands it and wakes up. After the device is woken up, it sends your speech to home assistant, which either

- handles it locally, if you have fast enough computer
- sends it to home assistant cloud, if you set it up
- sends it to chatgpt, claude sonnet etc. if you set it up

I'm planning on building a proxmox rack server next year, so I'm probably going to just handle all the discussions locally. The home assistant cloud is quite private too, at least that's what they say (and they're in EU, so I think there might be truth in what they say)...
Good for you! Keep it simple.

That's "efficiency" high, which actually means less compute. The 87.5% score using low efficiency (more compute) doesn't have cost listed.

they use some poor language.

"High Efficiency" is O3 Low
"Low Efficiency" is O3 High

They left the "Low efficiency" (O3 High) values as `-` but you can infer them from the plot at the top.

Note the $20 and $17 per task aligns with the X-axis of the O3-low
They are based in the US (CA I believe).

I think it’s certain hourly-wage jobs that have can hour limits. (ie. physically demanding jobs in hot weather conditions require periodic water breaks, in addition to hour limits)

In other hourly-wage jobs, you can still work over 40 hours but the worker is entitled to over-time pay. My mom worked at the US Post Office and during the holiday seasons she would sometimes work 12 hours a days, but all hours above 8 were paid at twice the hourly rate. Also, note that signing up for overtime was voluntary.

Software engineers, on the other hand, are salaried. Similar to lawyers, they sometimes have grueling hours (ie sleep in the office) but it’s not illegal, afaik.

how about a extra large dose of your skepticism. is true intelligence really a thing and not just a vague human construct that tries to point out the mysterious unquantifiable combination of human behaviors?

humans clearly dont know what intelligence is unambiguously. theres also no divinely ordained objective dictionary that one can point at to reference what true intelligence is. a deep reflection of trying to pattern associate different human cognitive abilities indicates human cognitive capabilities arent that spectacular really.
I've made a similar argument in the past but now I'm not so sure. It seems to me that developer demand was linked to large expansions in software demand first from PCs then the web and finally smartphones.

What if software demand is largely saturated? It seems the big tech companies have struggled to come up with the next big tech product category, despite lots of talent and capital.

"Note: OpenAI has requested that we not publish the high-compute costs. The amount of compute was roughly 172x the low-compute configuration."

The low compute was $17 per task. Speculate 172*$17 for the high compute is $2,924 per task, so I am also confused on the $3400 number.
I'm planning to learn how to find time to learn anything at all.

Just normal work and family stuff consumes 100% of my energies, whenever it's 9pm and I have time to actually try to learn anything or do anything productive, I'm usually so tired that I can't do anything that engages my brain.
Whoa, you did not have to do that! Thank you so much :)
I absolutely hate that AI is the first thing I think of whenever I see things like this now.

Yes, innocent mistakes happen in writing and editing all the time. But look at that whole paragraph you're quoting. It does exactly what sloppily-guided AI does: It's using words in an order that sounds relationally intuitive, but taken as a whole it's ping-ponging across completely unrelated concepts. It can't have come from a human, unless, like you said, parts were removed in editing without re-reading the result.
Aside from vaguely implying it’s some kind of media player that plays content from the internet, that doesn’t tell a whole lot.

Why LLM Alignment Is an Engineering Problem, Not an Existential Crisis
I've always disliked this argument. A person can do something well without devising a general solution to the thing. Devising a general solution to the thing is a step we're talking all the time with all sorts of things, but it doesn't invalidate the cool fact about intelligence: whatever it is that lets us do the thing well without the general solution is hard to pin down and hard to reproduce.

All that's invalidated each time is the idea that a general solution to that task requires a general solution to all tasks, or that a general solution to that task requires our special sauce. It's the idea that something able to to that task will also be able to do XYZ.

And yet people keep coming up with a new task that people point to saying, 'this is the one! there's no way something could solve this one without also being able to do XYZ!'

I wonder if there is correlation to the opioid crisis, where the "downsides" (if you want to call it that) of drug abuse are so visible to teenagers that they are staying away from it. Doing drugs when it's associated with being "cool"/interesting like rappers is one thing, but when you associate it to fentanyl zombies living in the streets it loses a lot of its glamour.

I was not able to find the regional breakdown so it's just a conjecture though.
Lotus: query engine for processing structured and unstructured data with LLMs
More totalitarian than absurdist. The whole idea seems to be elevating the vision of "The Genius Architect" over the needs and wishes of the people who would actually use the space, with a borderline contempt for what non-architects and even non-Brutalist architects think.

I'm reminded of the time I ended up crossing the Empire State Plaza in Albany once in the dead of winter. Such a horrid experience. Surrounded by soulless impersonal concrete with wind and snow blowing and howling. I felt like a freaking ant. It's not the type of architecture that inspires and uplifts in person. It psychologically oppresses and beats down.

Compare that to a place like Saint Peter's, which even as a non-Catholic almost took my breath away to experience in person.
While I don't think smartphone addiction should be taken lightly, it's still a far cry from substance abuse.
> These comments are getting ridiculous.

Not really. Francois (co-creator of the ARC Prize) has this to say:

The v1 version of the benchmark is starting to saturate. There were already signs of this in the Kaggle competition this year: an ensemble of all submissions would score 81%

Early indications are that ARC-AGI-v2 will represent a complete reset of the state-of-the-art, and it will remain extremely difficult for o3. Meanwhile, a smart human or a small panel of average humans would still be able to score >95% ... This shows that it's still feasible to create unsaturated, interesting benchmarks that are easy for humans, yet impossible for AI, without involving specialist knowledge. We will have AGI when creating such evals becomes outright impossible.

For me, the main open question is where the scaling bottlenecks for the techniques behind o3 are going to be. If human-annotated CoT data is a major bottleneck, for instance, capabilities would start to plateau quickly like they did for LLMs (until the next architecture). If the only bottleneck is test-time search, we will see continued scaling in the future.

Are you suggesting that everybody has the choice to study through library books and get a more fulfilling job? Everyone has the aptitude for book learning? So all those people stuck in dead end jobs in a factory (that could be done by a pigeon) are choosing not to learn CS and earn $mega at FAANG? That rather undermines the meritocracy cult of SV doesn't it, if anyone could do it?
It also took 3 attempts for me but they never showed up.

Also its $20 on for the o3-low via the table for the semi-private, which x172 is 3440, also coming in close to the 3400 number

This was... the US, Britain, etc for many years and much of the middle east and parts of them and Asia today.

Women just aren't in control of their lives and personhood in so many ways under even modern marriage law. I believe it's still problematic in some US states and I know it's problematic in many places that we might even consider "civilized" where a woman cannot bring her husband for divorce, the husband must bring his wife for divorce. There are still places in the "civilized" world where it is considered legal for a man to force himself upon his wife against her will or enact violence upon her if she does not submit.

Beyond that, there is an assumption in some layers of society that women will marry and have no autonomy over their lives.

A good friend of mine in the early 90s faced extreme issue closing the joint account between her and her (recently deceased) husband. She was told that she needed her husband's "written and notarized approval" to take any action against the account, even though she was listed as the primary contact on the account because the system enforced that only male account holders were allowed to make changes. In fact, this system didn't allow a single woman to open a bank account until 1992!

Another friend of mine has been attempting to get a hysterectomy voluntarily (every woman on her mother's side has developed cervical cancer in the last 4 generations), has no interest in ever having a child or getting married to a man for that matter, and has faced numerous doctors who will not even hear her out because "what if her future husband wants kids" just absolutely stalls the conversation. She has recently gotten further by having a local wiccan coven write some bullshit on paper that it's her "religious duty to nature" to have this happen, which has at least gotten a few doctors to read and go "I'll have to check in on this."

Just this year, American women in the south were reminded that their vote is just as secret as their husband's. This spurred a wave of men who began calling for the stripping of the rights of women because they might vote differently than their husbands.
