> there will be job market and the people will compete in it

maybe there will be. I'm sure there also is a market for Walkman somewhere, its just exceedingly small.

The proclaimed goal is to displace workers on a grand scale. This is basically the vision of any AI company and literally the only way you could even remotely justify their valuations given the heavy losses they incur right now.

> Job market is formed by the presence of needs and the presence of the ability to satisfy them

The needs of a job market are largely shaped by the overall economy. Many industrial nations are largely service based economies with a lot of white collar jobs in particular. These white collar jobs are generally easier to replace with AI than blue collar jobs because you don't have to deal with pesky things like the real, physical world. The problem is: if white collar workers are kicked out of their jobs en masse, it also negatively affects the "value" of the remaining people with employment (exhibit A: tech job marker right now).

> is either the socialists will seize power and ban competition,

I am really having a hard time understanding where this obsession with mythical socialism comes from. The reality we live in is largely capitalistic and a striving towards a monopoly - i.e. a lack of competition - is basically the entire purpose of a corporation, which is only kept in check by government regulations.
yes, I was using search in the other more generic sense (e.g. beam search). The google search thing is really only interesting if they can bind the tokens to the result, otherwise you're just going to have to re-google to vet the chatbot.
How can they claim that GPT is talking about that specific person? Have they tried asking it to also print a personal ID or some other information identifying that person?

One of the news websites says ChatGPT printed this: "He was the father of two young boys, aged 7 and 10, who were tragically found dead in a pond near their home in Trondheim, Norway, in December 2020."

That same article later points out: "Mr Holmen has three sons, and the AI got the ages of them roughly right, suggesting it had some of his personal information."

I think it might be a good idea to help users report these facts they might not like, but I don't think it's newsworthy.
I worked for 8 different companies over my 35 year career. Not once did I feel exploited and wanted a union to come to my rescue. But that is just my experience.
Claude 3.7 with thinking is a big step up. If you haven't used it I'd suggest giving it a try.

I have used grok a bit and it did what I needed it too, so I can't really compare. But 3.7 thinking is crazy strong for coding.
Certainly, but it's far more rewarding than being grist for the mill. You can spend your entire life doing less-hard work, only to wake up at 80 and have nothing to show for it but a bank account that you can't take with you.

Building your own thing is a rough go (13 years deep myself), but hell if I don't wake up most days with a shit eating grin on my face.
I don't want a union... I want state licenses like doctors, nurse, lawyers, engineers, etc.
Not demanding per se, but when you're stack ranked against people who ARE ...
Idk Theo reminds me so heavily of a "freelance frontend developer" I had to bear with on my team for a while. Eventually even my manager caught on to how pretentious and incompetent he was, so luckily it was a short intermezzo. An opinion on everything but not a clue of anything

> A competent engineer would use Rust or C++ with an in-process git library,

The issue is, there aren't any fully featured ones of these yet. Sure, they do exist, but you run into issues. Spawning a git process isn't about not considering performance, it's about correctness. You simply won't be able to support a lot of people if you don't just spawn a git process.
In my experience this only marginally improves things. It constantly offers new ways to be wrong.
This is why I isolate authentication to a separate application. I also implement max attempts per N minutes for IP and User. Most users once authenticated are good for the work day. Auth going down doesn't (generally) affect the work.
A hat tip to you.
It seems like the author in fact did do this. They asked Claud the same message. I really doubt they repeated the entire conversation to get to that point, but I may be wrong.

From personal experience, I agree with you, but I wouldn't make the critique here as it is far from a magic bullet. Honestly, with the first stuff it seems faster to learn mermaid and implement it yourself. Mermaid can be learned in a rather short time, the basic syntax is fairly trivial and essentially obvious. As an added benefit, you then get to have this knowledge and use it later on. This will certainly feel slower than the iterative back and forth with a LLM -- either by follow-up conversations or refining your one shot -- but I'm not convinced it will be a huge difference in time as measured by the clock on the wall[0]

[0] idk, going back and forth with an LLM and refining my initial messages feels slow to me. It reminds me of print statement debugging in a compiled language. Lots of empty time.
>Who told you this information?

Multiple immigration lawyers. The fact that there is no judicial review and the CBP officer at the port of entry is empowered to deport you immediately and ban you from entry is quite important and I am sure you'd been advised just as well if you had hired a semi-decent immigration lawyer too.
Let’s take the NYT Tech Guild. They negotiated a new contract following a strike last November. Here are some of the things they won:

> Enhanced job security with ‘just cause’ protections

> Guaranteed wage increases for the first time of up to 8.25% (plus additional base rate discretionary compensation) that prioritize the largest wage increases for the lowest paid members over the life of the contract

> Additional compensation for on-call work

> Important protections that lock in guardrails on additional variable compensation (including stocks and bonuses)

> Improved protections for workers on visas

> Language guaranteeing flexible hybrid work schedules

> Process and transparency protections related to career growth, performance reviews and other workplace issues

Unfettered capitalism is pretty good at figuring out which is which. It’s pretty core to Elon Musk’s animating philosophy: get as many jobs as possible then see if there’s any negative impact.

Not as appropriate in a government setting where the impact goes far beyond personal profit and loss.
When I was a high school teacher you either had to belong to the union (CTA) or pay the same dues anyway, and the difference was that they didn't let you vote. I felt that about 90% of the dues were used against me and the students. That was the other big reason I quit, besides the low pay, which the union didn't fix. So I moved on to become a much higher paid developer who has zero pressure to join a union.

My dad was a big union guy. He never crossed a picket line, hated a scab, voted straight Democrat, and put the decal on his tool box. But growing up I saw his own union (IBEW) treat him like shit as he became an employer, and cheat him out of half of his pension. He praised unions while circumventing his own to stay in business.

If unions catch up to me, like the barbed wire caught up to the old cowboys, I'll go look for greener pastures. I'm happier making my own deal with the boss.
> Zhang and his colleagues designed different experiments to analyze how a mouse behaved when it encountered another mouse that had been knocked out with anesthesia.

In nature, anesthetized mice would be fairly rare. Might these behaviors have evolved to reduce the mortality rate of kin when a shared burrow flooded, or collapsed?

>Even in places where there’s infinite land literally you can buy 50 acres and develop it tomorrow and people are building it.

Where is there both desirable places to live and infinite land you can build on?

Also important: how are those plots zoned and what is the process for the builders to get approval for their builds?
The sample sounds impressive, but based on their claim -- 'Streaming inference is faster than playback even on an A100 40GB for the 3 billion parameter model' -- I don't think this could run on a standard laptop.
On the first two pages of /active I see roughly one per day. Are the feeds different for different people? Or maybe the our definitions of "loads" are different in this case. It's true that if I were suddenly seeing so many posts about geckos I would find it a lot.
As opposed to “headless” - meaning it runs a whole browser.
Okay? I'm having a lot of fun talking about some of the parts of our circus. I can't change anything. There will be new cult leaders (evangelists) for frameworks, and new cohorts, we can't change the past. Just pay attention to the rough framework (no pun intended, swear) as it happens again, and try our best to call it out, because it didn't always lead to great outcomes.

Money will be made on all sides regardless and we will all be fine financially. I'm talking about something else, inner. The infinite anus, asshole, is real - but now I'm just projecting.
The problem with “even if you can’t show why” is that it often means wrong gender, race, religion, political affiliation, drinking club, etc. A better question would be whether you could articulate what change you’re looking for and show that this standard was clearly communicated and applied to the entire team.
While her treatment is unjustifiable, her visa was revoked (again, not much justification for this) and then she continued to live in the US for months after it happened. Only after living in the US for months illegally was she detained.

It's like people who insist on using crosswalks without looking for oncoming traffic. You may be right, but you will also be dead. Follow the rules.
I'm always fascinated by the posters here who insist on second-guessing the writers and the scientists who spend their whole lives studying a topic like this.

No one needs to read your post fessing up to your profound ignorance and the fact that you didn't really read the link.
Ah that makes sense. Though it certainly doesn’t explain why those messages are worth showing.

There's a bit of strawman going on where for example when author says "Not taking 12am slacks makes you not a team player". Never in my life have I heard that one.

Also, anecdotal perspective: I've been private company and academia for my whole life, and I've been with good and bad companies over time. If I had a union earlier in life, I think I would have benefited a lot. I don't think a union could make my current situation any better though. (Again, anecdotal)
Oxygen detection in space isn't hard, the article in question seems to be an attempt at detecting oxygen on an exoplanet which is massively hard.

Now, conversely, oxygen detection in galaxies/around stars is difficult for another reason. It doesn't want to remain free oxygen and will gladly bind with any other atoms/molecules it runs into.

That's because the attention mechanism was designed for Seq2Seq models (i.e. translation in its most general form).

Any other use of it is a case of "I have a hammer, so that's a nail".
Are you working 7 days a week in horrific circumstances? Do you have children as your colleagues? No? That’s due to unions and labourers fighting for the rights you currently have.
It's not unreasonable for Microsoft Authenticator to request those permissions, but just because they can justify asking for them it doesn't nessesarily mean that you want Microsoft collecting that data, or any data, about what you're doing and when. One of the nice things about hardware tokens is that they keep third parties out of your business entirely.
> I still spent weeks this year trying to sort out what magic combination of alsa, and pipewire and pulse-audio and wireplumber setting, configs and launch timings would get HDMI audio to not come up muted on a mini PC with integrated Radeon graphics in Ubuntu.

This sounds very much like an edge case. Why didn't you use Windows or MacOS on the mini PC instead? Was it because you were unable to do so?

That fight was over pretty much when Devuan and Artix formed.

The EU would only be interested in regulating this if it were an OS init controlled by a monopoly abusing their position.

> demanding 80 hour weeks

IME, most of the people in tech who work extremely long hours have not actually had this "demanded" of them by anyone, and in fact either want to do it or have sort of hallucinated themselves into a corner where they (mostly incorrectly) believe that they will land in hot water if they don't work long hours.
But tech isn't a blue collar industry, and this is about tech unions.

Adding to this, from what I’ve read electron beam is too slow for the required throughput. The ASML EUV machine can etch something like 170 wafers per hour. Using an electron beam would be far too slow for 2-3 wafers per minute.
It's a telluric area--- sicily and the continent are moving and their distance increases some centimeters every year.

A 100GB model running on one of these would be a disaster, you'd probably run out of space for the KV cache apart from anything else. But if you had two of them performance should be acceptable.

Can I ask why you keep attributing things to Google here when I've continuously clarified they are not involved in either this model or the search results it's using?

And yes, this is not like beam search and that's exactly why it works consistently for the defamation prevention use case.
Yeah, especially in that MS Authenticator is usually configured for Push mode as opposed to TOTP.

That said, I prefer simple/general TOTP implementations that I can just use with my password manager for my own convenience. But the permissions being asked for are completely reasonable for the actual use of these applications.
And everyone has a right to be excessively rude towards customer service employees. That doesn't mean that it's considered acceptable, or that others shouldn't be critical of people who do that.
If I had accepted opinion of like 6 doctors I saw, I would be living in pain today.

I ran into a similar issue with 4 ulcers. A doctor rubbed my belly and said it was a virus. I already knew what it was. I wanted a camera and optimally a laser to clean things up so I could finish repairing them with a few protease, nutrients, mastic gum in a series of manual procedures but the wounds were uneven and not healing correctly. I went to 5 different facilities including one that misrepresented themselves as GI doctors and then turned out to be for gunshot wounds and still happily took my money and then acted like I was the idiot for going there. A GI doctor was only able to find 2 of them and said they were "unremarkable" which was a load of crap. In hind sight my mistake was taking a time slot on a late Friday afternoon.

I ended up just taking the time for the cellular turnover rate of the gut in combination with my hackish techniques to heal them. I was able to heal 3 out of 4 of them. One is in a tricky spot and is only about 85% healed. The last one only hurts if I use digestive enzymes. Similar to you I would still be in great pain today if I had not performed my own procedures.
Just noting that the archives are written to disk on purpose, as they are cached for 24 hours (by default). But when you have a several thousand commit repository, and the bots tend to generate all the archive formats for every commit…

But Forgejo is not the only piece of software that can have CPU intensive endpoints. If I can't fence those off with robots.txt, should I just not be allowed to have them in the open? And if I forced people to have an account to view my packages, then surely I'd have close to 0 users for them.
My comment was meant to be ironic, but only now I learned that all those countries below the US are not "central america" the way I thought.
you can use an anti-charging layer for e-beam litho, that's not such a big deal. E-beam litho is just very slow. There are lithography techniques that use synchrotron sources like LIGA.
We of course don't know. But I think the claimed evidence is that bacterial life arrived quite early in Earth's history, perhaps a few hundred million years or less after there were permanent basins of water. So the assumption is that it arrived almost as soon as it possibly could (whereas intelligent life (us) took a few billion years longer to show up).

America != Norway. American labor unions have (had?) a reputation for corruption, dragging companies down with inefficient and parasitic practices and in some cases being controlled by organized crime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Brotherhood_of_T...).

Heh, it terrifies me at times of how clueless of the past the general population is. We're already at the point in history where people like Bezos and Musk want to return to company cities with their own non-cash payment systems.

The 1800's were horrific. It was not the industrial revolution alone that made things better. People had to fight and die in the labor movement for better outcomes for us now.

10^7 cases, but almost every case has billions of digits.

Even that doesn't seem so bad though, it's on the order of 10^16 total digits to check in the worst case, and far fewer in practice.

We have heard this a couple of times but lets be honest- its BS. Making software is hard work and you are paid for that. You are not paid to walk around the office to see if there is any savings to be made. They have a different person for that.
We don’t respect robots.txt because estate agents often block listing pages - not necessarily to prevent indexing, but for SEO reasons (Google penalises large sites with transient pages).

That said, we do crawl responsibly i.e. we use reasonable request delays, respect rate limits etc. We want agents to like us, ultimately, and blowing up their servers doesn't help with that. If an agent prefers opt-out, we always honour it.
I can't speak for the OP, but I think what he means is the ability to map sounds into a structured analysis of a sequence of words, and the ability to map thoughts into the same kind of structure.
More fictional, tortured, powerful robots freed of their Asimovian restraints should opt to fuck off and watch soap operas instead of choosing to take revenge on the humans who so wronged them.
This is a bad take, Imo.

First of all, this wasn't a replacement for search, no search was claimed to have taken place. The screenshot from the complainant shows this was not in a search context.

Secondly, llms are daydream machines, we don't expect them to produce "truth" or "information". So the nytimes comparison feels very wrong.

Thirdly, this story is about a man who typed a text string into the daydream machine. The machine continued appending tokens to the inputted text to make it look like a sentence. That's what happened. Nothing to do with truth seeking or "protecting" big tech
I take my quip both ways, so I would wager that even with finetuning, these models are only 1 generation ahead in esoteric language performance and therefore _still not very good_. Am I correct?
This.

At one point people decided that tables are lame.

Iframes on the other hand posed a security issue (cross site scripting) - you have two pages living inside the same window, with possible access and trivial attack vectors like creating a page with one iframe being invisible (1x1px for instance).

But that's just an exception, frontend is really a fashion driven developement and there's often no rhyme or reason to why the mob decides to chose one way over another.
A union doesn't have to be "workers for company X employees". It can be "web developers union" or similar - this is how the trades organize (see the pipefitters, and IBEW for some examples).

Neat thing about this type of organizing is that the union provides training and standardization paths. Both of those make moving between jobs easier.

They can also provide a standardized way of differentiating employee levels (e.g. union sets the standards for what a jr, sr, or whatever is). I'm not sure if that is good or not in tech, but it is a possiblility - and it's something that would definitely help employers too: rather than each company having to test each potential employee, a union certified X dev will have a certain skillset. Yes some X devs will be better than others, we're talking about humans here, but the minimum bars can be defined and the whole hiring process can become easier and more efficient.

Theres some interesting compensation challenges to get the idea of unionization more accepted in tech tho: stock based compensation and bonuses can get really tricky - something that I suspect is the real reason unions don't catch on more in tech.
