I think GPT is more useful to people writing self-help books than programmers.

Containers can be broken out of. They are not a security tool. However, from a configuration perspective I totally agree. Python ecosystem is broken beyond repair. Just chuck it all in Docker and get back to programming!

I mean low EV compared to other careers right now. Obviously automation benefits the ownership class massively. Buy tech stocks; they are discounted at the moment.

Low EV. Some make it very big, but most earn nothing and retrain.

That's not really how it works. At least in the UK (and most western countries are similar), the government decides (with ministers) what the curriculum should be and how it will be assessed. They decided that rote learning is what stu

Aside from surgeon, those are low EV careers.

Humans get things wrong too. A better question is: what error rate is acceptable for this task? Jobs where higher error rates are acceptable, or where errors are easier to detect, will succumb to automation first. Art and poetry fit both of

Anyone know how "system" works? Is it merely a prefix on the prompt?

It's interesting that everyone is talking about programmers being replaced by AI, but the model did far better on the humanities type subjects than on the programming tests.

I see, I didn't realize that training data for tuning was not available. Thanks!

Is it a good insight though? The training data for many of these premier models is already available, and that's even better than some input-output pairs.

I can't help but feel like there is an element of sour grapes here after Yudkowsky's attempts to build an AI failed (assuming that's what he was really trying to do, and not just to lure young and enthusiastic grad students i

Fair point, so I will flesh this out a bit. The typical pattern we see in PMQs every week is this: 1. Valid concern from the opposition 2. Rishi ignores the concern 3. Rishi says something about "the member from Islington Nor

Do we? His style is more school-boy debate club than anything else. It doesn't matter what the reality is, so long as you get some zingers in.

Sometimes I want a simpler system so that I can understand how it works in order to make it do exactly what I want. This is like driving your own car. Other times, I want an intelligent system that figures out what I really meant and take c

Of course, but those contributions are more often to the edge of our knowledge and done by a large professional research team, as opposed to a smart aristocrat in their spare time. That's the difference. The closest equivalent I can th

Yep. And these historic geniuses were often Polymaths. Every field was smaller and an individual could realistically make several contributions.

There was self-help type book (quite a good one, but its name escapes me) that talks about the Passion Mindset and the Craftsman Mindset. The Craftsman derives joy from mastering their craft, learning from past failures and improving every

Filling our cities with pickups is a ridiculous solution compared to having a few local authority (not big gov / federal) garbage trucks do the rounds.

Conservatism can never be counter-cultural because it is concerned with enforcing pre-existing social hierarchies. If you are looking for an example of anti "degeneracy" counter-culture, one might be the DC hardcore bands of the e
