Do they not deport foreigners who try to flee justice or is she a citizen in either country. Both are allies of the US and even though France is from time to time prone to do some diplomatic PR stunts they don't exactly love her kind o

Or she just panicked when it sank in that yes she really would end up in prison. Facing 11 years of it after being a part of the 1% can lead to some pretty human, pretty stupid decisions. She isn't some hardened street criminal with a

Interesting. I didn't know that. When using gpt-4 directly through the API we can emulate this behavior

LLMs don't have an inner monologue. By their very nature they only "know" what they have written down and must infer the final answer from that token by token. They fundamentally can't do certain things such as complex i

You can use the playgournd to give gpt-4 a custom system prompt. Mine was something like "You are discussGPT"

I managed to "convince" it (in the playground as "discussGPT") to accept "temporary" physical barriers between racial groups and arrest and trial of rule breakers, as long as I confirmed the requirements of an

Interesting. Germany regulated all scooters a few years back (with additional local rules for rentals). That means some required safety features, mandatory insurance, minimum driver age and rules about what part of the road you can use. It

I don't think relativity had the same hype associated with it. I'm finding it very difficult to differentiate between (sometimes involuntary) sales people and genuine usefulness (of which there is plenty to be clear). It is yet un

It's when you mostly live without a car but occasionally need one for transportation and day trips. You usually can rent them by the hour or day and as you said it's a slightly different user experience than traditional car rental

What makes you believe it won't be a thing (or a rebranded version of it)? Unless any of the European countries (even the larger ones) wants to be crushed by the economic weight of the US or China they better stick together. Even most

It's not the automakers. Those have long since started to transition to BEVs and do offer some attractive options which are produced at scale and can often be seen on the streets where I am (not near any of the OEM headquarters). They

I recall reading that's partly because it doesn't have an inner monologue. It only "knows" what it writes down and if you force it to print the intermediate step it can more accurately get to the final answer.

Warning: speculation incoming. Yeah that's me. I'm hoping that if I keep up to speed as much as possible I'm employable for the next 20-30 years until (early) retirement. I started transitioning away from programming before t

We simply don't know. There is probably Nobody right now can say where the current gpt approach saturates and what potential limits it has due fundamental limitations in either gradient descent based technologies, or GPT architecture.

Andrej Karpathy made a video implementing and training a simple transformer and together with his other 4 videos on the topic it clicked for me. https://youtu.be/kCc8FmEb1nY

I am really hoping LLMs will remove much of the cruft from our daily communication. If cover letters are not a human effort any more they can be left out. Recently I was involved in supporting my manager in hiring for a new Developer positi

Internet cable owners are in fact required to provide access to third party resellers at a fixed price in many European countries. Net neutrality was upheld here by the courts and required phone companies to cancel plans. It may happen (no

That'll most likely not happen. Or they'll be declared a public utility soon enough. For now we are still living in a world governed by humans

Maybe we really are. Many sifi stories feature heroes encountering an advanced AI doing "sth". We usually see ourselves as part of the hero group in these stories but maybe ultimately we will end up the side note about the civiliz

That's why I'm advocating against being (almost) unconditionally "for" or "against" a certain technology. It seems like some people struggle with the notion of something being good in some areas and bad in othe

Obviously yes. And how they use these tools is important. But it's quite interesting to see what these models can do internally and what they can't do yet. It possibly outlines future research areas (beyond " more scale"

It is but it also shows current limitation of the reasoning skills of this models. A super human AGI would easily be able to use tools like Wolfram Alpha and also derive most of it on the fly or from memory just by thinking about it. If you

1) Not every use cases will require the full power and (probably) considerable cost of chat GPT-4. 2) some companies can absolutely not use OpenAI tools simply because they are American and online. A competitor might emerge to capture that

That's a great analogy which I will steal.

Nothing most likely because the fact remains that the CEOs of these companies do never face the same existential crisis as many of their employees do when loosing their job. They can (and many probably do) put a small amount of their income

Maybe I'm imagining it but this letter seems a lot more direct than the other ones. "People loosing jobs" instead of "Puffys getting the opportunity to move on.". Also their yes/no mail has a clear title and th

They have some great products in there (probably) but most likely they expect some of their attempts to fail (it's to be expected). It's a "bet the retirement fund but not the farm" situation where they invest a lot of m

I'm being reminded of a close friend of mine who is a car mechanic. In recent years the fraction of BEV and PHEV among new cars has risen to ~20% which absolutely will influence his job and will require new skills of a different kind.
