Is there a transcript somewhere of the full conversation where she calls the reporter "one of the most evil and worst people in history"?

They bought ai.com and have it redirecting to chat.openai.com, but as far as I can tell they don't own chatgpt.com? There must be a lot of people hearing about chatgpt and trying that address

When more powerful AI comes around, we'll have some hope of understanding it and using it safely because we did our toying and puzzling around with its more constrainted ancestors.

> Can large-language models take the place of traditional search engines? ... there’s the blurriness of outright fabrication, which we consider unacceptable when we’re looking for facts.

How did "traditional search engines" get conflated with "looking for facts"? Is there data to back the idea that this is the most common use?

I would buy a child a toy car, not a Toyota, even if I drove a Camry

You can add a wildcard entry (Host *) with the username to your ssh config. That will make it the default (can still be overridden by host-specific settings).

This ChatGPT generated article made the front page

If you're doing something new/ custom (which you presumably are if you aren't using someone else's prebuilt model), it could take a lot of runs to figure out the best training data and finetune settings.

(I assume. I've never worked with GPT, but have done similar work in other domains).

He didn't specify that it should be a good standup comedian

Apparently "snowmachine" is what they call a snowmobile in Alaska. I was confused because I thought that was a device that makes fake snow at ski slopes.

Before reading any words, I guessed just by seeing how long the paragraph was.

Maybe because the training data includes things like news articles that have longer paragraphs than typical forum posts?

Or maybe they really need people but this page doesn't say so because the people who maintained it and/ or the entire HR department has left

There are health concerns around unfiltered coffee (which includes percolators and French presses) that make some people not want to use those methods every day (especially if they consume lots of coffee): https://www.thehealthy.com/nutrition/why-french-press-coffee...

In the 1990s, plenty of people felt obligated to drive to the mall, walk into B Dalton, and purchase a 300 page book to learn how to use their new software. There was a whole section for it.

Today, they can find the equivalent information for free without leaving the device where the software is running.

The strict aliasing violation is incidental. You can change int8_t to char in the code and get the same result with no strict aliasing violation.

The lawyer who defended them in Universal City Studios v. Nintendo was John Kirby.

Although that one's not a coincidence because they named the character after him

Why is "final" an unsafe feature?

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TD-Gammon

> TD-Gammon is a computer backgammon program developed in 1992 by Gerald Tesauro ... It explored strategies that humans had not pursued and led to advances in the theory of correct backgammon play...

> For example, on the opening play, the conventional wisdom was that given a roll of 2-1, 4-1, or 5-1, White should move a single checker from point 6 to point 5. Known as "slotting", this technique trades the risk of a hit for the opportunity to develop an aggressive position. TD-Gammon found that the more conservative play of 24-23 was superior. Tournament players began experimenting with TD-Gammon's move, and found success. Within a few years, slotting had disappeared from tournament play

I definitely expected "multiple assignment" to refer to this syntax (which Python also has)

  x = y = None

What's the reason for the restriction on sharing images with faces?

What's sad is I actually found it refreshingly honest that he listed "advertisers" as one of the parties who benefits rather than claiming this is purely done to improve the experience of viewers

Amongst major artists, Tupac is good at causing confusion. Is he Tupac, 2Pac or Tupac Shakur? Does it depend on the album? Is his alter ego Makaveli a different artist?

On my laptop (admittedly, it's running Mac OS, not a linux distro), /bin/bash is version 3.2.57 released in 2007, while '/usr/bin/env bash' invokes bash 5.1.8, released in 2020.

> std::tuple_size is only specialized for tuple<...>, so we must strip off the reference and possible const.

Is there some good reason why tuple_size couldn't have been made to work on const tuples?

1:30 AM on whatever date we "fall back" for DST isn't singular in my timezone

This data is based on what's seen in the wild, right? So if they see text in brackets removed more often than text in parentheses, that could reflect what sort of text people tend to put in brackets vs parentheses rather than (or in addition to) how google treats those characters.

     ASSERT(SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext(DPI_AWARENESS_CONTEXT_PER_MONITOR_AWARE_V2));

If ASSERT is a no-op in release mode then you're only getting your setting set here while in debug mode

Junk is also a verb meaning to throw something away

If you have specific columns that you frequently want to ignore (which, I think, is the common case of this), you could define a view that selects all the columns except those and do your queries against that view.

Why not logback instead? It's existed for more than 10 years and its stated goal is "picking up where log4j 1.x leaves off"
