I am so excited to see what happens when Japan forces all closed source software and Disney cartoons into the corpus out of fairness. Seems like there should be no complaint, right? It's not like anyone can see the Windows 11 source co

Yeah, playing with novel distributions is a young person's game =) I'm glad someone is doing it, but I just want to not fight my computer to get tools I actually use to work. I've been using Ubuntu 20 years like this author.

I would be extremely impressed with the engineering that would be required to somehow overcome the issue of focusing that wavelength at range. They don't mention the range in the article, so I'm suspicious. It's extremely har

That's what I mean by performative, yes. If it were somehow miniaturized and handheld then it's easy to move. I doubt that's physically possible, but I've been surprised before and am old enough to have been surprised be

I guess if they managed to miniaturize it so that it was handheld somehow? Seems a bit performative but I guess lots of stuff did 20 years ago.

What does that have to do with poor evidence of accuracy? I was only talking about how silly it is to train an AI with specifically what to respond if someone asks what a particular word means, then ask what that word means and think it mea

At that point I could no longer tell if the author was just trolling. Is it not obviously absurd? We have actual translation tools that are trained to be accurate instead of just return a likely response to a query of that type.

There's probably other cases of people like me deleting our videos to avoid Google trying to monetize things I don't want ads on.

I only use YouTube through these third party privacy tools. https://libredirect.github.io/ I noticed that when you access YouTube videos through this you can just right click and download.

I'm mystified that there would be an expectation of accuracy based on it knowing a response that happened to be accurate to a question about the one word they knew off the top of their head. The one word they remembered.

Maybe it makes sense to truly integrate generation and storage with your neighbor. Between two towns separated by forty miles of roads? I don't think you get to the same end result. When production is in the same location as consumptio

It's so predictable that it's frustrating to see people who should know better falling for it. Of course it's a fresh feel without the trolls. It's not open to all yet, so of course it is. I don't know why they expe

I think you have the crux of it... this person has a very long essay explaining why this change makes it more comprehensible to more readers. This is what an editor should do. What's the problem? Let them spend their time on it if they

I thought he was fairly explicit that he thought larger models would provide incremental gains for exponentially greater cost, so yeah, I guess not profitable is a way to put it...

Something that blows my mind is that you can get a patent on a new "state of matter" (implying intrinsically that it has novel properties) but then claim to regulators that it doesn't need new safety testing because it's

I think this is an excellent point. It will write great think-pieces as soon as humans come up with thinks to be trained on.

If only gpt4 could tell people what to do in order to find meaning. Surely it understands the human condition at least as well as market forces. /s Wait, no actually from what I've seen gpt4 might be more empathetic to the idea th

Yes, this will be a major catastrophe if we don't plan ahead. I think it's coming one way or another. For an increasing number of us, the costs of automation will be lower than the cost of living. It will happen quickly. We absolu

Here's how I do that thought experiment. Maybe your answer is different. It will depend on who owns the machines that do the work. It's not comfortable to think about, but I think it's silly to ignore completely. I've wo

The financial reward of "gambling on assets" is already far higher than working with much, much less effort. Except that now only rich people get to do it safely. Housing is an asset that must be "gambled" in order to li

I agree, for some segment of the population the current definition of "productive" is "meaningful". That's why it will be okay to let people do things they find meaningful. If Priya had preferred to stay with her fa

Yeah, I am confused by the idea that not being forced to work to stay alive means your can't (or won't, whatever) find anything of worth to do with your life. Where did that unexamined assumption come from? Do they care about noth

My last name is unusual enough that I recognized the street names that family had lived on from the set of options. So not my address, but real ones that extended family members lived at. Just not me.

I've had to call my bank and they had a very hard time unapproving someone after I'd given them deposit permissions but ended the business relationship. It was weird. They seemed very confused by the request.

Not only are you correct, their database has wrong info about me that I've had to memorize the wrong answers to in order to prove who I am. It's not great.

I would go further even and say that for any team that doesn't all do just one thing, developing the spec is half the work. Once all the interconnections are figured out and the mechanical engineers know what needs to hold what shape a

I noticed that nice new bing AI enabled search bar at the bottom will generously help you provide PII to openai now... It's amazing that this stuff gets added without thought of consequence.
