That's why they have two test sets. But OpenAI has legally committed to not training on data passed to the API. I don't believe OpenAI would burn their reputation and risk legal action just to cheat on ARC. And what they've reported is not implausible IMO.
Oddball theory:

COVID hit credulous / non-technical people harder, because they refused to believe in it and didn't take precautions. So a lot of people who might have turned to drugs died for an entirely unrelated reason, leaving teens who are "smart" enough to avoid drugs. ("Smart" here is not intended to mean just IQ.)

> How much are you willing to bet that the price of a Waymo ride will converge to be within 10% of the price of an Uber ride today?

It should! That’s the competition! Hell, I’ll pay a premium for a quieter, safer (and for now, due to novelty, more fun) ride.

And if Waymo maintain a monopoly that will stay the case. Otherwise, the normal thing will happen.

> how are the prices of Uber rides compared with regular taxi service

Cheaper if I wait. More expensive if I want immediacy. Either way, far more utilised than taxis in almost any city I visit.
Are you trying to run damage control here or something? I’m not sure why the GHM is being centered in this thread rather than the people who have been killed.

I agree with what bhouston said. With so much destruction and death happening (even right now), I suspect it will take very long to get an accurate count.

The original comment’s implication that infrastructure damage is somehow more damaging than the human death toll is abhorrent.
Agreed.

The most insidious thing is when you see kids hooked on it. Not only are they fed the same garbage content and ads, some of it is actually harmful, like Elsagate. Some of those videos are still available on the site, and more get added all the time.

We can argue whether parents should let their kids use YouTube, and if the YouTube Kids app works well enough to protect them from this, but at the end of the day we're just data mines and not customers, so nothing besides public outrage and regulations could improve this. It's also an incredibly difficult problem given the amount of videos uploaded every day, but I'm sure Google could solve it if they had good reasons to.
Cracks in driveways have annoyed me since I was a kid. This would be neat to prevent that. Not to mention this reduces waste.
But if you want to predict the future utility of these models you want to look at their current intelligence, compare that to humans and try to figure out roughly what skills they lack and which of those are likely to get fixed.

For example, a team of humans are extremely reliable, much more reliable than one human, but a team of AI's isn't mean reliable than one AI since an AI is already an ensemble model. That means even if an AI could replace a person, it probably can't replace a team for a long time, meaning you still need the other team members there, meaning the AI didn't really replace a human it just became a tool for huamns to use.

This paragraph surprised me:
> Furthermore it is the only reasonable way to keep a reference to a binary and a set of shared libraries that can be exec‘ed. In the model used on Windows and Mac, renderers are exec’ed as needed from the chrome binary. However, if the chrome binary, or any of its shared libraries are updated while Chrome is running, we‘ll end up exec’ing the wrong version. A version x browser might be talking to a version y renderer. Our IPC system does not support this (and does not want to!).

I think the Chrome team overthought this. If you update firefox and try to perform an action which spawns a new process, it just politely demands the user restart the browser.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how LLMs work, which is why you think they are magical.

Of course if you play the LLM Pachinko machine you can get all sorts of novel output from it, but it’s only useful for certain tasks. It’s great for translation, summarizing (also a kind of translation), and to some degree it can recall from its training corpus an interesting fact. And yes, it can synthesize novel content such as poetry, or adapt an oft-used coding pattern in a flavor specified by a prompt.

What it can’t do is come up with a new idea. At least not in a way better than rolling a dice. It may come up with an idea that you, dear reader, may not have encountered, which makes it great for education.

I don’t have anything more to say, but you’re welcome to continue this discussion with an agent of your choice.

Yes, as a computer scientist with almost a half century of experience, I get your product, UX, why you made certain decisions, what made ExtJS popular, why people choose Proxmox, etc. I even get how much of an ask it is of someone who chose ExtJS back in the day to now consider shifting gears to build a 3D interactive simulation in Godot to be the new control plane for Proxmox. Your current users will be satisfied with the status quo and you have great near-term sales potential continuing to knock off the dying VM company many of us knew and once loved. [Heck, I just got a Christmas eCard from Ashwood Computer (MultiValue/PICK databases) in 2024...I'mma send 'em https://youtu.be/R-BT2yzXP8w in reply.] However, I again caution that the (massive) generation that is about to suddenly replace the current techs that you have supported for the past decade will NOT be satisfied at all with your current value-ad, which is ultimately a forms-based user interface and packaging of functionality defined by the soon dead VM company and the underlying open source projects of the Linux operating system. As far as your use of native web technology, there's Web3D and X3D if you like to remain platform agnostic (a myth because the web standards are fully controlled by the platforms), but those standards require a real financial commitment over simply downloading Godot (which has improving Web export) and building your datacenter control-panel "simulation" (because a "game" is a type of "simulation"). If you also have a worthy agenda to "use more Rust", then there are some projects on Github to use Godot from Rust too. While re-thinking, it is wise to include a basic AI-agentic interface and an embedded LLM to allow fielding natural language queries and out of band notifications on the state of the control plane.

[Also, I pasted the wrong PWEI video to support that lyric in my original comment that tried to soften the blow of my opinion of your user interface https://youtu.be/mLoQueaCLqA .. this "minimalist is so cool" website doesn't have link previews that could have caught that because it was some sort of "science project" that PG, who is also much older and yet less experienced than me, wrote to promote his use of his own Arc Lisp-DSL...sound familiar?]
You are missing that cost of electricity is also going to keep falling because of solar and batteries. This year in China my table cloth math says it is $0.05 pkwh and following the cost decline trajectory be under $0.01 in 10 years
NovelQA is a great one! I also like GSM-Symbolic -- a benchmark based on making _symbolic templates_ of quite easy questions, and sampling them repeatedly, varying things like which proper nouns are used, what order relevant details appear, how many irrelevant details (GSM-NoOp) and where they are in the question, things like that.

LLMs are far, _far_ below human on elementary problems, once you allow any variation and stop spoonfeeding perfectly phrased word problems. :)

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05229

Paper came out in October, I don't think many have fully absorbed the implications.

It's hard to take any of the claims of "LLMs can do reasoning!" seriously, once you understand that simply changing what names are used in a 8th grade math word problem can have dramatic impact on the accuracy.
Oh boy, just wait until you learn about Plasma.
How mini is o3-mini compared to Sonnet and why does it matter whether it's mini or not? Isn't the point of the demo to show what's now possible that wasn't before?

compute gets cheaper and cheaper every year. This model will be in your phone by 2030 if we continue at the pace we've been at the last few years.
> Why not charge for support?

They do. And when you actually pay for support, they answer the phone. At least in my experiences.

The only times they've left me high and dry is when I didn't have any actual paid support contract or subscription for whatever the question was about.

They have a Gmail support contract. You signing up?

STDs aren't a mystery, we know how to avoid them. I actually invited more strangers into my home back when I was monogamous, honestly, but I'm not sure what that has to do with polyamory. Monogamous people lose their partners all the time, have you seen the divorce rates? None of what you are suggesting matches my experience.
Funny, I came here to say just the opposite, that I'm glad algorithmic computing is still a thing in research and that not everything is AI.

Ironically, AI is able to produce research-grade algorithms and will probably become an authority on the subject, helping take more traditional CS to the next level.

You don't just need to create an idea, you need to be able to create ideas that on average progress in a positive direction. Humans can evidently do that, AI can't, when AI work too much without human input you always end up with nonsense.

In order to write general program you need to have that skill. Every new code snipped needs to be evaluated by that system, whether it makes the codebase better or not. The lack of that ability is why you can't just loop an LLM today to replace programmers. It might be possible to automate it for specific programming tasks, but not general purpose programming.

Overcoming that hurdle is not something I think LLM ever can do, you need a totally different kind of architecture, not something that is trained to mimic but trained to reason. I don't know how to train something that can reason about noisy unstructured data, we will probably figure that out at some point but it probably wont be LLM as they are today.
I wrote an overview, but didn't post benchmarks https://dublog.net/blog/so-many-python-package-managers/
(game dev) What I did in the past was having actions generate both a new state, and a stack of 'instructions' that update the UI, which was deliberately not a 1:1 representation of the game state for the exact reasons you described.

Then you can 'execute' the stack within a command VM of some sorts, where instructions can move sprites around, play sounds, etc. You can have 'high level' instructions ("display the enemy's death") implemented as a combination of low level instructions ('reduce that health bar count until it goes to zero' -> 'change entity X's sprite to dead sprite' -> 'give player 200 gold as reward' -> 'play sound' -> 'change text in the text bar to something' -> ...)

It ended up working waaay better than what I was expecting, felt very easy to reason about, wasn't hard to maintain, and scratched that itch of implementing an interesting solution. :)
I am not sure pixi uses the same solver of uv, at least in general. pixi uses resolvo (https://github.com/mamba-org/resolvo) for conda packages, while uv (that in turns uses pubgrub https://github.com/pubgrub-rs/pubgrub) for pip packages.

> wonder if you can use atmospheric drag to pull you into the Sun

You can, and I believe this probe will. The Sun’s atmosphere is just much nastier than our own, which means your aerobraking destroys your spacecraft quicker.
It doesn’t matter what system, society will ruin anything it enforces. Everything has pros and cons.

Imagine the same system enforcing poly. You’d have mandatory partner sharing to those in power, all sorts of requirements and gate keeping for who could and could not share, or be part of various cliques, etc.

For sure, anyone pretty or desirable would be expected to be poly and like it or else, etc.

The reality is that system would fly apart even faster than monogamous systems since there is no meaningful way to ‘opt out’ and protect oneself, which is why you don’t see it in any large scale societies.
A cop telling you it's okay to do something, and then getting arrested for it, might be one of the only times you can correctly claim entrapment.
I'm hoping it's similar to the abacus for maths, the elimination of human "calculators" like on the apollo missions, and we just ended up moving onto different, harder, more abstract problems, and forget that we ever had to climb such small hills. AI's evolution and integration is more multifaceted though and much more unpredictable.

But unlike the abacus/calculators i don't feel like we're at a point in history where society is getting wiser and more empathetic, and these new abilities are going towards something good.

But supervisors of tasks will remain because we're social, untrusting, and employers will always want someone else to blame for their shortcomings. And humans will stay in the chain at least for marketing and promotion/reputation because we like our japanese craftsman and our amg motors made by one person.
a trickle of people sure, but most people never accidentally stumble upon good evaluation skills let alone reason themselves to that level, so i dont see how most people will have the semblance of an idea of a realistic trajectory of ai progress. i think most people have very little conceptualization of their own thinking/cognitive patterns, at least not enough to sensibly extrapolate it onto ai.

doesnt help that most people are just mimics when talking about stuff thats outside their expertise.

Actually one of the first ARM spin off products was the 250 for Acorn, which was an entire Acorn computer system on a a chip.

Some of the other details you have are wrong too, to the point your comment is really quite misleading.

Anyone wanting an accurate version should check wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Computers

(To be blunt the above comment is like a very bad LLM summary of the Acorn article).
imo it's a mistake to interpret the marginal increases in the upper echelons of benchmarks as materially marginal gains. Chess is an example. ELO narrows heavily at the top, but each ELO point carries more relative weight. This is a bit apples and oranges since chess is adversarial, but I think the point stands.
The fact that these reasoning models may compute for extended durations, using exponentially more compute for linear performance gains (says OpenAI), resulting in outputs that while better are not necessarily any longer (more tokens) than before, all point to a different architecture - some type of iterative calling of the underlying model (essentially a reasoning agent using the underlying model).

A plain LLM does not use variable compute - it is a fixed number of transformer layers, a fixed amount of compute for every token generated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_test:

> An acid test is a qualitative chemical or metallurgical assay utilizing acid. Historically, it often involved the use of a robust acid to distinguish gold from base metals. Figuratively, the term represents any definitive test for attributes, such as gauging a person's character or evaluating a product's performance.

Specifically here, they're using the figurative sense of "definitive test".

The article I linked to has all kinds of proof, but if you want a carefully laid out argument for intent, I recommend the Amnesty International report https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde15/8668/2024/en/

> What does it mean to "look like genocide regardless of intent" if the intent is the defining feature of the genocide?

This isn't a case where you can say "oh, they didn't mean to, it's all good." It doesn't matter where you place Israel on the spectrum from incompetent, to reckless, to genocidal (and different parts of the government and military will clearly fall in different parts of that spectrum.) The effects of Israel's actions are the same, no matter how you measure their intent.
Ejabberd 24.12 / ProcessOne – Erlang Jabber/XMPP/Matrix Server – Communication
I don't mean usual, on-topic clickbait consistent with the watch history. I mean that in the middle of said on-topic clickbait, one or two of the recommendation slots are always explicitly allocated to a broader, regional-level pool of inflammatory political clickbait completely unrelated to watch history.

So for example, I could be watching some niche technical videos, and my recommendations would be more of that for the most part. Except that on an English-speaking-country IP address, I'd also get some inflammatory Trump-related video among the usual recommendations. On a French IP I get the French equivalent, and so on.

So either consumers of various niche content (in unrelated fields, from retrocomputing to farming or vehicle repair) also all happen to be into political trash in various languages so much as to outcompete other on-topic videos in the recommendations, or the recommendation engine has an explicit feature to push inflammatory crap in addition to "organic" recommendations. I strongly suspect it's the latter.
I got one of the same calls (didn't believe them). Afterwards I phoned Google support and they said the same thing, they will never call you. I had them confirm nothing was wrong with my account, just in case.

>Are AirTags actually useful for anti-theft purposes?

For small items where the airtag is merely present, it can be useful from the perspective of being alerted when an item is left behind or taken away from your surroundings. Much theft crime is opportunistic, such as forgetting a wallet behind in a restaurant, or dropping it in a street. Airtags are useful in that regard as the "left behind" alerts are reasonably timely, and tracking an item down works well. This works because you realise it's gone and find it before someone else does.

While there are still plenty of examples of people using airtags for recovery of stolen goods, that's not the main product intention as it is very easy to discover and disable a loose airtag. Some larger items however (e.g. certain bikes) have airtags built in which aren't easily disabled, there are also mounting cages which serve a similar purpose - in these circumstances it is a legitimate antitheft device because the ability to easily disable it is removed.

I use airtags and my most common use of it is to ask siri to "jingle my keys", which alerts me to whichever coat or pair of jeans I've left them in (my second most common use is receiving an alert that I've left my umbrella behind somewhere).

I also remember one occasion of leaving my keys in a taxi, realising immediately, and chasing it down the road - the taxi never saw me, and I never saw my keys again, with an airtag that would have played out differently. These kinds of situations are far more common than dealing with thievery.
