This was always one of my favorite shows. For (what started as) a police procedural, it was incredibly prescient in many ways.

I did read that but it seemed pretty clear that the comment thread and the comment you were responding to were not in fact discussing one specific instance, but rather the broader phenomenon: > these company investments ... > If the

It seems to me like the answer to "would you learn anything new by being a bat?" is necessarily yes, because you would at least learn the answer to the question itself.

I've seen people say this a few times here but the article says: "a growing number of employers around the country have decided to build their own housing for workers, mostly for them to rent but sometimes to buy."

Bit of an ironic stance for someone with the name Galen Erso to take ;)

Sadly I don't think this is true for art: https://restofworld.org/2023/ai-image-china-video-game-layof... I really hope it doesn't end up being the same with code :|

I've tried tic-tac-toe with it (GPT4, web platform - maybe results are different with the API and temp 0?) easily a dozen times using various ways to prompt it over the past few weeks, it only played well once so I'm assuming it w

I assume you're correct, I'm on the GPT4 API waitlist so I'll be able to better test these things once I get API access.

I tried a ~1x1cm cube of it when I was in Iceland... that assessment is pretty spot-on.

Oh I don't at all, I was contesting > this weakens Apple's grip. Because I don't think Asahi harms them.

I don't think it harms them financially though. You still have to buy the macbook and I don't think they earn any significant amount of money from you running macOS on it after that, I've bought like one $6 app on the mac app

I was just using the ChatGPT web UI (with GPT4) so I didn't manually set the system prompt or the temperature. I checked all of yours and they do exist with the right researchers. I tried again in the web UI and it generated junk, when

I mean then what is the basis for calling him not a "real practitioner" while Yann LeCun is? It seems a little unfair to dismiss outright the opinion on a deep learning technology from a guy who won a Turing award for research int

Yoshua Bengio is a signatory and shares a Turing award with Yann LeCun though...

I'm very much not an expert either but apparently for the regular "attention" mechanism memory and compute requirements scale quadratically with respect to input sequence length. So increasing it by just two orders of magnitu

I tested the Base64 thing with GPT4 and it produces code that does seem to work. There have been other tasks I've given it (C++, Clojure, JS) that it doesn't get on the first try or in some cases doesn't get at all though. On

Portobello mushroom is certainly wrong, I also would have included color for salmon but that one is more up for debate I think. I think some humans would probably write the same categorizations though. [[[Me]]] > I will provide two lists

Fwiw they are right that it produces bogus citations depending on what you ask. I did their tree example with GPT4 and got the following: ------ PROMPT -------- Can you give me citations for recent research on trees? ----------------------

Although even in this example it does say some things that are simply wrong: "Some programming languages like TypeScript and Swift use a colon for both variable type annotations and function return types." This is incorrect for Sw

While I do think there is some threshold where increased productivity makes positions redundant, I don't think 2x would do it in most orgs. My current team easily has enough work for us all to be 2x more productive.

Two members of my family have now called me on the phone a few times to ask me to ask GPT something, after I convinced them of its value and after I had them make their own account. They are absolutely smart enough to ask it but are very mu

I've also been considering the concept of "AI-amenable" programming languages recently, and I think it would be quite an interesting twist of history if lisps became once again the AI languages of choice because of their simp

"Cannot be taught" is a pretty strong claim. I'm not an artist but it is my understanding that at least some forms of art (classical, sculpting) require at least some degree of instruction, and being in school is probably goi

I agree but according to the BLS employment numbers are as follows in the US: Electrician: 650k Plumber: 469k Earthwork: Don't see an exact match Welding: 428k Carpentry: 668k Software Devs, QA, & Testing: 1.62m Programmers: 152k N

I mostly work in Clojure and I've noticed this as well, it is usually more efficient to just write it myself if I know what I want to do. However for a language or stack I don't understand well where I just need something quick an
