If current trends continue, in 10 years time I’ll no longer be able to pass a Turing test.

I tried to use Anki a long time ago, but maintaining cards ended up being too toilsome. Now that we have ChatGPT and other AI tech to take some of the pain out of that, I might give it another try for language study. I do however maintain t

I don’t think you’re giving it enough credit. It’s seen BS schemes (and people’s reactions to them) before.

Crypto has been equally revolutionary, but the value lies in a different stratum that’s harder to relate to than the immediate gratification of AI-enhanced chat. Things are going to get really interesting where these worlds collide. I look

Seconded! If there’s anywhere we can cut the superfluous social fakery it’s with an AI that obviously doesn’t give two hoots about us or how our day’s been going so far. I found its replies stylistically tedious.

I imagine few shot learning would kick in for most new language features. A feature may be new to a particular language, but is it really new?

I’m curious to see how this turns out as well, though you’ll probably have to devise a workaround for the token limit for this to be effective for all but the smallest projects.

Since fine-tuning is often done by freezing all but the top layers I wonder if it would still be possible to take a set of inputs and outputs and mathematically demonstrate that a model is derivative of ChatGPT. There may well be too much e

Seems our options are a) deal with the persistent stench of pee in alleyways, or b) deal with the fallout of men driven to madness by Navi the Crime Prevention Fairy.

Me too, probably, which is why I specifically mentioned patient consent in my example. I can however imagine other situations where I would be inclined to forgive the doctor, such as if I were in the operating theatre and for some reason t

Kind of, but wouldn’t that free us up to use even more exotic parameters in our simulations? Maybe there are seed conditions that simply aren’t present on Earth.

Pseudo random numbers are injected into the models via its temperature settings, but OpenAI could seed that to get the same answers with the same input. I’m going out on a limb here with pure speculation but given the model, a temperature,

How about… 3D spreadsheets , man. You finish tallying up all your credits and debits, and then wham! You’re sprung into another dimension. It’s Google Tensorsheets, man, Microsoft won’t even know what hit them.

You may be comparing what you do in one day to what others do over a longer timeframe. Having three decently involved technical hobbies doesn’t mean you have to do all of them at once. Build momentum over a month or two at least.

Try cocaine! Just kidding, but in all seriousness it sounds like you’re lacking energy and focus, not time or motivation. There are numerous strategies you can use to increase those. Some include exercise (you’ll be trading time for long te

Moderation is key. On the one hand a high cadence plan/act/review cycle is rocket fuel for personal productivity, and nothing forces you to manage focus and flow as well as blocks in a calendar, but on the other hand you need to s

I can attest to time-blocked journaling as having linchpin potential and being one of the greatest foundational habits I have ever adopted.

I should add that you need to manage your energy as well as your time but that will follow naturally from a virtuous cycle of day planning and review.

The simple answer is that you don’t find time for everything, and you never will. Schedule each day in a calendar and put as much effort into planning not to do things as you do into planning to do things. Accept that there’s a season for

Is it really so over the top, though? We have machines that have basically internalized the Internet and can easily pass a Turing test, and yet we still have people trivializing these marvels as mere “parrots”. I believe this is partly a de
