It’s unlikely a secret cabal runs the world. Too hard to keep such a thing airtight.

A trained AI model is a platform that you can build applications on. Pretty sure >90% of the developers in this space will be building applications, not models. Kinda like how the vast majority of mobile developers build mobile apps, not

Btw this project doesn't use ChatGPT, it uses text-davinci-003.

There should be a protocol where emergency workers can set up a geofence where cars are not allowed. Driverless cars can automatically avoid the geofence. Drivered cars can pop up an alert.

If you’ve covered eager evaluation, the substitution analogy mostly works. What you’re showing is lazy evaluation which is an alien concept in Python land.

Curious, is there room at LANL for a senior full-stack generalist engineer who hasn't necessarily been doing published research work? I've looked at LANL Careers and can't gauge how biased you guys are toward research backgro

You can certainly improve your happiness incrementally. From little things like getting shoes that fit better to things like moving to a climate that fits you better. Reducing annoyances and distractions. Yeah in the limit you can't ac

Btw the GPT3 codex model `code-davinci-002` has a 8k token limit, too.

The point about currency seems like a red herring, since it can be easily converted into USD, etc., but insisting on paying people salaries based on averages in their current location is pretty inflexible and remote-unfriendly IMO. People m

Thank you, that's really insightful! Presumably you could get it to summarize the conversation when the conversation reaches max tokens.

Makes sense. Do you know if there exits a re-implementation of a ChatGPT-like stateful conversational interface on top of the GPT-3 API? A cursory search doesn't turn up anything.

Thanks! Is this basically what chatgpt is, a thin frontend on GPT3? Or is there more to it?

I understand your point but you're off-topic. The question is what retains credibility in this climate, not where the technical innovation is. You mentioned Mina elsewhere. You think Mina has more credibility than Bitcoin right now? Ab

I definitely don't think Vitalik is a scammer, but I find it not-so-ethical to take large amounts of money off the table before you've created value. Vitalik's wealth comes from hype, not from value in the world. He's no

BTC can survive any interest rate/money supply maneuvering just like Gold has.

by shrimpx 4y ago
You have it backwards. Bitcoin (and related pure decentralized coins) is probably the only thing retaining credibility right now. Everything with a CEO, premine, ICO, web3, defi, is in question.

Vitalik and Ethereum Foundation have siphoned hundreds of millions (billions?) out of the (pre-mined) Ethereum blockchain, which is probably an unregistered security if it weren't for high-roller lobbying agains the SEC, and to what en

[Leaving aside the implication that "Romanian" has become a sort of synonym for beggar or pick-pocket:] The thing is, Romanians are Europeans. They're all culturally European. It's just that some (mostly Western) Europ

Yeah I've built a compiler and several interpreters in an academic context. I'd appreciate any concrete suggestions for further playing/learning.

As far as corruption, Romania’s CPI is virtually identical to Hungary’s. You won’t be able to make a good argument using statistics about corruption and migration. European politicians have given up on that, too. Now it’s subjective stuff l

The Black Sea migration route is nowhere close to the Mediterranean routes. Like 200 incidents in the Black Sea vs 300k+ in the Mediterranean in 2022, with Italy, Greece and Spain being principal entry points.

Good news for Croatia. To Romanians, the ongoing stonewalling is perceived as racism against Gypsies; fear that the under-documented Gypsies of Romania and Bulgaria will flood Western Europe, who already has had enough of the documented G

I wonder if GPT models can get super precise or if there’s a fundamental limitation.

> just convincing enough That’s basically the principle of the Turing test. But maybe the GPT approach is fundamentally incapable of withstanding very detailed scrutiny.
