What is your opinion about the full sized airliner (Dehavilland Dash-8) that said "tech company" also bought?

Are you aware that the tech company in question was Universal Hydrogen, who was modifying aircraft to utilize a hydrogen fuel cell power system? Don't you think it would be reasonable for an aircraft development company to own flight test assets?

Besides, the cost of that little puddlejumper is the noise. It's a 1976 Piper Cherokee 235, nearly 50 years old. Fair market value of $150K currently, but they have been appreciating rapidly over the past 5 years or so, and it is likely that they will realize a profit on it's sale. Rather than a loss if they had leased a newer aircraft. But either way, it costs less than hiring a useless new college graduate "full stack" developer.

"Intelligence" itself is very ill-defined and we've never been able to measure it properly, IQ is rife with issues.

At some point, you just have to be pragmatic and measure the questions you want the AI to be good at answering, rather than trying to measure intelligence in general.

In that sense, I see this as one more benchmark that collects questions that we want/expect AI to be good at, is not good at yet and have been underrepresented at previous benchmarks. That's obviously valuable, there's nothing "magical" about it. Although it is reasonable to be annoyed at the "Humanity's Last Exam" naming, of course they must have missed plenty of edge-cases like everyone else and it is very arrogant to claim it will be the "Last" one.

I put this post in the second-chance pool* as soon as I found out about it, but given that the startup is India, I think Paras might also be, in which case he may be offline for a while! (Edit: and will have rather a lot of responses waiting for him when that changes...)

This is classic disruption vulnerability creation in real time.

AI’s are (just) starting to devalue the moat benefits of human-only interfaces. New entrants that preemptively give up on human-only “security” or moats, have a clear new opening at the low end. Especially with development costs dropping. (Specifics of product or service being favorable.)

As for the problem of machine attacks on machine friendly API’s:

Sometime, the only defense against attacks by machines will be some kind of micropayment system. Payments too small to be relevant to anyone getting value, but don’t scale for anyone trying to externalize costs onto their target (what all attacks essentially are).
Shulkers help tremendously with that as well, imo you don’t need mods. I just carry a couple empty shulkers - but I guess every play style varies

"Some might argue that these confirmation / single-use sign-on links are no good anyhow, but for now, they are what we have to get people to sign up for services."

Some users might argue that if they don't "sign up for services", i.e., use other peoples' computers for basic tasks instead of using their own, then many problems caused by so-called "tech" companies never happen to them. That is, "signing up for services" introduces new problems.

I scraped 1.6M jobs with GPT4o-mini
I was sick and tired of how LinkedIn & Indeed are contaminated with ghost jobs and 3rd party offshore agencies, making it nearly impossible to navigate.

I realized that most companies also post jobs directly on their websites. Until recently, there was no way to scrape them at scale because each job posting has different structure and format. After playing with ChatGPT's API, I realized that you can effectively dump raw job descriptions and ask it to give you formatted information back in JSON (ex salary, yoe, etc). I used this technique to scrape 1.6 million jobs (with over 325k remote jobs) and built powerful filters. I made it publicly available here in case your'e interested (hiring.cafe).

Pro tips:

* You can select multiple job titles and job functions (and even exclude them) under "Job Filters"

* Filter out or restrict to particular industries and sectors (Company -> Industry/Keywords)

* Select IC vs Management roles, and for each option you can select your desired YOE

... and much more

Please let me know how I can improve it on r/hiringcafe!

Eternal January is coming.
I'm pondering about building CPU from logic gate chips. The thing is most projects like that use chip count efficient (usually microcoded) designs which aren't fast enough to run "real" familiar software. I want 32-bit instruction set with virtual memory, capable of running Linux and fast enough to run games like Doom. Fastest reasonably available logic gate family is 74AUC (possibly with exception of exotic ECL gates). Combined with copious use of fast asynchronous SRAM chips, I think performance in the ballpark of 20 MIPS should be attainable. I'm half-expecting that I'm making some huge error in my assumptions and it will turn out these numbers are impossible, but that didn't happen yet.
This is true but that's because it's gotten hard to do much else. LLMs are eating up everything else that don't require long horizon planning or multimodality.

If you created a new benchmark today that didn't lean on the things I've mentioned or esoteric/super specialized domain knowledge (that would actually require some sort of super-human performance to ace) like this or Frontier Math, LLMs would probably do pretty well.
I mean it is humanity’s LAST exam. Humanity’s first exam would probably be something about communication? Or about building and predicting effects of certain tools?
I... am not sure if this is a joke or not. Grindr is not a community or posting tool. It's a hookup app.
Looks more like first exam
This is always the answer for anyone who thinks LLMs are capable of "intelligence".

It's good at answering questions that its trained on, I would suggest general intelligence are things you didnt want/train the AI to be good at answering.
Congratulations Paras!

>And the use-case for PINNs is, e.g., modeling a known function that is not solvable analytically?

No. That is the use case for numerical analysis, where you can develop a high performance, accurate algorithm based on the mathematical analysis of the problem.

It is really kind of silly to want to encode the solution in some neural network.
I think it might mean the opposite of what one would expect. Afaict, calibration error means something along the lines of "how often was the model wrong but confident that the answer was correct".

That means a low calibration error would be a good thing, ie the model correctly recognizes when it is unsure about answers instead of confidently stating the wrong answer.

> Now, with a show of her paintings opening at the Amar Gallery in London, the record is being set straight, as Hélène finally receives the recognition many feel she is due. “Our whole mission,” says gallerist Amar Singh, “is to search for overlooked artists.” Singh regales me with tales of cross-continental wild goose chases on the trail of collectors who might just sell. Once he hits upon an artist, he says, he looks into why they may have been sidelined. “It is always,” says the gallerist, “down to gender, race or sexuality.”

This strikes a chord with me. I always said that if I did not work in my field, one of the things I would love to do is to open up an art gallery here in Basel focused on promoting such artists. Imagine for example, how many talented artists say, from, Congo or Laos, would just need some exposure to collectors to promote their art.

You'd think at some point the investors would read the startup's prospectus, and realize that they have invested in a company that wants to modify airplanes to run off of hydrogen, and that the company has purchased not just a a _private plane_, but a _whole blimey airliner_ and a bunch of _jet turbine parts_ and to try and implement this scheme.

As a queer person who hasn't used Grindr but has heard about it from others, my understanding is that it has a reputation for being more for hookups than actual dating. Heard a story about a gay male friend-of-a-friend setting up an account on it and getting 4 unsolicited dick pics within a very short period of time.

Obviously this is just secondhand anecdotal evidence—I'm sure someone who has personally used the app could chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

I fear a near future where where Kafkaesque mystery systems inflict confusion and injustice with no human route for fixes or even explanation.

>In another comment reply to Gumby, I mentioned how I often accidentally call them "Grateful Dead Conferences", because so many tech people I knew and worked with in Silicon Valley and the Free Software community and regularly saw at computer conferences and trade shows would show up at Dead shows.

>The Raster Masters would lug enormous million dollar high end SGI workstations across North Shoreline Boulevard from SGI headquarters to Shoreline Amphitheater, and actually pack them into trucks and travel on tour with the Dead, performing live improvisational psychedelic graphics on the screen behind the band in real time to their live music, using an ensemble of custom software they wrote themselves, mixing together and feeding back the video of several SGI workstations in real time.

>At one concert, some hippie came up to me, pointed at the graphics on the screen behind the stage in awe, and said, "I took all these shrooms, I'm tripping my balls off, and you would not fucking believe what they're making me seeing on the screen up there!!!" I explained to him that I hadn't taken any shrooms, but I could see the exact same thing!

>The Raster Masters wrote and performed their own software, which reflected the taping and sharing culture of the Dead scene, including ElectroPaint and the Panel Library from NASA, whose source code and recorded live performances were distributed with SGI's demo software and free source code library.

>The improvisational software was like a musical instrument performed in real time along with the music.

Ruth Goodman has a phenomenal series about living in historic times on BBC. She's "lived" in several eras as early as back to the 1620s, and I've enjoyed literally all of them including the one she did from Guedelon, entitled Secrets of the Castle.

>Maybe it makes sense to try to incorporate insights from biology and physiological instead of hoping that the neural net will "get it" from seeing enough data.

For medical imaging your solver is most likely "physics based" in any case. PINNs want to encode the physics inside a neural network, instead of developing an appropriate algorithm (which obviously has to also incorporate the physics) which solves the problem and which can be analyzed mathematically.
what's funny is that, from what i recall hearing, the creative forces behind the tv show essentially got bored with the show and crammed a ton of stuff into season 8 and kinda just phoned it in. iirc hbo was willing for one or two more seasons after 8

You got a back trap. When I try to navigate back from the playlist screen it goes to the processing screen, and then repeats the processing request every time I navigate back after that. Maybe a bit gnarly if that is kicking off the spotify fetch each time.

GPT is now a little like H.E.R the movie as you can have a full conversation with it unlike Siri. Just atm you dont see how GPT looks .. it doesn't look like a FaceTime call with human AI friend/Assistant (how your AI Assistant/Friend looks.. could look and sound like a deceased loved one .. that's my own crazy idea not from the movie H.E.R).

The model isn't actually learning to mimic linear interpolation. Source and target points are sampled randomly, and linear interpolation is used to randomly choose a midpoint, then the model is trained to predict that the velocity at the midpoint points towards the target. But during training this selection of source, target and midpoint is randomly repeated thousands of times, so for the same spatial location the model will see many examples all going in different directions. Eventually this randomness will average out and the model will learn to predict this average, which happens to be the "true" velocity field at that point. Since this velocity field is usually non linear, the model will learn a behavior that is non linear as well.
