Google IO in may? Guess we'll be getting a huge OpenAI release May 19th then. Edit: Oh of course, it's the open weights model they've been teasing.

I've tried it out a ton but the only thing I end up using it for these days is teaching me new things (which I largely implement myself; it can rarely one-shot it anyway). Or occasionally to make short throwaway scripts to do like file

Feels like this is also connected to the general move from individualism to collectivism. Most of our days are spent hearing other peoples ideas (podcasts, videos etc). Almost none is spent developing our own ideas and an actual personality

To play devils advocate: There's so many times in school where I remember having to do BS tasks which could have been better spent working on side projects instead. If the students are smart that's how they'll leverage these

Not really seeing any answer to where they think it's going other than "we don't know" or the typical worries about education. Was hoping for a more scifi or more interesting answer.

That's the story of all technology and the argument AI won't take jobs pmarca etc has been predicting for a while now. Our focus will be able to shift into ever narrower areas. Cinema was barely a thing 100 years ago. A hundred ye

I just want to guard my attention and spend it on soul fulfilling things instead of this, life is too short.

I wish there was tighter rules around what stays on the front page of HN. I come here for tech news or interesting nerdy blog posts not this stuff.

For things like machine learning I wonder how much extra performance could be squeezed out by simply working with continuous floating values on the analog level instead of encoding them as bits through a big indirect network of nands.

The best part about these is that I know the weights are static so I know I won't have to deal with a sassy unusable update for a week suddenly.

This https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/unhook-remove-youtu... and yt-dlp to download things from only subscriptions that interest me (and watch later offline) changed my life.

Chatbots probably won't be the final interface. But machine learning in general is a full on revolutionary tech (much clearer now than ten years ago) that hasn't been explored fully and will eventually be quite disruptive on the s

Who knows if they're on purpose untraining this ability of the model though, seems like that would go away in a 'safety' finetune.

They're completely different skillsets. You just have to go from the ground up and grind to learn it all (this demo isn't that hard but generally it could take years). You probably have to unlearn a ton of stuff you adapted to whe

Fun to realize there's barely any way for us to detect if there's one heading for us right this very moment.

The way I see it there's a risk any of those (eg notion or goodreads) goes under a sudden paywall, price increase and big friction around extracting your data. With this you just have to save the sqlite file wherever you backup the res

This has been happening for a long time though. No one has written every single line of a program since the 80s. Every one line of a JS function call can boil down to hundreds or thousands of asm lines. Same thing happens here with english

People should stop quitting as a moral protest when companies go against their principles, and instead stay in the role and mess up the internals.
