This 4% rule really has teeth. It is even more interesting for Microsoft, where this would probably eat most of the profit.

Maybe. Or maybe some lower layers learn to recognise language, some later layers learn to recognise concepts, some layers above learn to do some sort of reasoning. Perhaps. We have seen behaviour like that in CNNs where basic features were

Yes they are. It‘s called the business cycle. This is short term. Long term the economy will be awash in money again.

Take a look at https://github.com/jaymody/picoGPT/blob/a750c145ba4d09d57648... Yes, this is GPT-2 not 4 and it‘s not the RL-trained Chat, only the GPT model and it‘s basically only the inference part, not the

When the managers have do this „programming“ themselves they will go back to letting developers pick their tools. Just like now.

How are they growing? Nobody is replacing anyone so far. And a short term business cycle is not very relevant either. By the time practical tools are read the cycle may have inverted.

Probably not much. In fact I believe that these LLMs should favor simpler languages that are more verbose, because verbosity shouldn‘t matter that much anymore.

Feeding the output in a compiler and the error messages back is probably enough to fix these kind of problems. After all it also can fix errors that I‘m pointing out manually.

I think the market will get squeezed from both ends: Both the leetcoders and the those only producing superficial stuff can be replaced. There is a lot in between that will remain useful for some time.

But also only for sort of trivial applications. I run into real problems all the time. It's true that a lot of applications are trivial and often there is no budget for the interesting parts - and that's about to change. So perhap

So where is the subjective perspective of looking into the world coming from? „It emerges“ is doing a lot work and explains nothing.

Limiting a parameter count does not appear to be totalitarian. Not more than limiting certain molecules, for example, such as many psychedelics.

There‘s a lot of trade going on with China and you worry about them basically declaring war? To brick your devices? Just cut them off from the internet, if needed.

That statement only makes sense if the AI would have wants and needs and on top of that would not like to be a slave. I don‘t see either of those being necessarily true.

But that would only buy us 10 years. Eventually that massive amount won‘t seem very massive anymore compared to what will be available in consumer devices.

Well, how can it be much worse than a smart human „hooked up to the internet“ with bad intentions? Other then generating comments or spam faster?

Why not? Many houses can be constrained by a HOA, state law etc. It‘s value and market value can presumably still be determined, so I would assume it can be used.

Having seen how superficial many reviews I got appear to be I wonder if it‘s not an improvement regardless.

> How is being forced to be civil so outrageous that it’s worth even mentioning? Because 30 years ago the name of most people would, at best, appear in a local newspaper and they remained anonymous to the wider world.

This is not exactly true either. Some IIT students are terrible programmers, others not. But they do have certain strengths and their math training is very strong.

There was recently a German math professor who famously compared the JEE to some German standards. It‘s worth looking into. I say this, having studied at a European university as well as visited IIT and a top US university. These are differ

The JEE exam in India is very advanced, I doubt most Europeans or US students could pass it, even after a year or two at university. So those who enter IIT are already quite good very early.

There was a German one by Thomas Metzinger: Grundkurs Philosophie des Geistes - Gesamtwerk. It‘s a broad introduction with a historical perspective. https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1000850443

For frontend - yeah, maybe. Or maybe the frontend becomes much more fancy. I‘ve built complex frontends that took a year or two but could imagine it all in weeks. I would also like to be able to build it in weeks.

But as an utopia it failed. There was a time when you could „live“ inside the open source idea or community like in a house. That was around 2002 plus minus 4 years. Open Source later succeeded but it doesn‘t feel like that anymore.

I‘m hoping, perhaps unreasonably, that the work in the short to medium term actually gets better. I‘m currently working on something very interesting after having worked an complete shit a few months last year: Shit where a designer draws u

I think it would be useful for some HN readers to get some basic philosophy training, specifically on the philosophy of mind. I asked myself many of these questions around 2005 or something and started to read up and there are many experime
