Love it. Could also be called a hostile giveover, considering the OpenAI board gifted this opportunity to Microsoft

How weird! Perhaps a coup within a coup?

Microsoft is likely betting that they can build the next GPT with a bag of money and a few food people. They control a massive amount of GPUs, this could be a major factor for Altman and Brockman here.

I think you are spot on, a LLM focused on science and medicine has a much higher bar to pass when it comes to accuracy. I tried Galactica when it came out, and I have to say that subjectively at least the results looked much inferior to wha

Nuclear waste is a problem, but it is nothing compared to the waste from gas and coal, which we release to the atmosphere daily. It kills thousands every year and will kill millions in the future. And you may think: well there you go, let&#

Every single energy thread in HN ends like this. Renewable fanatics get backed into a corner when they realize that it is impossible to run a grid on solar and wind alone. Then they start talking about things that currently cannot account f

It is, because removing this barrier to entry and editorial power would lead to spam and SEO bullshit, which arguably already exists. Knowledge does not equal amount of content.

Honestly, the use cases presented here are probably cautionary tales about what not to do. Asking questions about the distant past, from which the LLM likely has very little data in its dataset and we have no "ground truth", is ju

Not sure this is equivalent. Those decades of life are usually worst ones, and merely doubling your lifespan with sacrifice is not equivalent to multiplying it indefinitely.

I think the distinction is that one interpretation is arguing that "truth by committee" is usually wrong, while the other is arguing for an elitist view where some people just carry all the weight.

Finland has modern regulation for nuclear energy, and is constantly improving it ( https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsfinland-to-reform-nucle... ). They see it as a strategic option. I'm not sure this is the same

Yes. I see people make this mistake time and again when evaluating LLMs. For a proper comparison, it's not enough to simply throw less than a hundred questions at it and point to a single digit difference. Not to mention that LLMs have

Let me play devil's advocate here. Remote work is about trust. The biggest fear for the employer is that you are slacking off, because they cannot physically see if you're even there. If an employer realizes that you have accepted

This is much better than I would have thought, especially pricing. It may also be a sign that OpenAI expects competition in the near future, which would be another good news.

You will be absolutely fine, you really don't have to worry about it. It's very uncertain whether ingesting these chemicals is harmful, touching them briefly is just fine.

This is a huge trend in Europe. A sizable portion of people I know are simply deciding to work as little as possible, even if that means getting paid less. The general perception is that there is no point in saving for a house or for retire

You were the one comparing apples to Coke. You also wrote this clearly incorrect statement: "There is almost nothing in fruit worth taking". When I pointed out that this is not the case, you misdirected the conversation to saying

The fact that other foods can supplement or replace fruits is obvious. Most humans, however, are not surviving on quinoa and vitamin supplements. Therefore, your extreme position on fruits is misguided, because the average person is better

We do not have AGI yet. In order to get there, very specific chips are needed that can only be built by a handful of companies in a handful of factories in the world. On top of that, the available stock of existing cards is predominantly in

There is plenty of good stuff in fruits other than sugar. They are a great source of fiber and vitamin C, for example. Your overall point is worth reiterating, which is that fruits are not automatically "healthy", and may contain

Sorry but there is an incomparable difference between knowledge obtained by revelation and scientific method. The book is the vehicle, not the source of knowledge for the latter.

In my experience, Phind is not as good as GPT4, but it's by far the second best LLM for programming. I find that tremendously impressive considering they are competing against the whole world for that title right now. I agree with the

Current LLMs can already roleplay quite well, and when doing so they produce linguistic output that is coherent with how a human would speak in that situation. Currently all they can do is talk, but when they gain more independence they mig

Here is a plausible scenario: - Single purpose AIs start to be deployed to coordinate chip design and manufacturing, perhaps pharmaceuticals and other bio products - LLM's become more powerful and are seamlessly integrated to the Inter

Any long-lived application is like a species, and every release is like a fossil. I see beauty in both the static and the dynamic.

Andrew Ng is right, of course: the monopolists are frantically trying to produce regulatory capture around AI. However, why are governments playing along? My hypothesis is that they perceive AI as a threat because of information flow. They
