> I understand what money does to principles,

That's kind of the point, we all do. What is harder to understand are the low stakes whims of academics bickering over their fiefdoms.

This move is bringing the incentives back to a normal and understood paradigm. And as a user of AI, will likely lead to better, quicker, and less hamstringed products and should be in our benefit.

We can already run local models on a laptop that are competitive with chatgpt 3.5

Open source may trail openai if they come out with a 20x improvement, but I'm not sure the dystopian future playing out is as likely as I would have thought it 1-2 years ago.

Some specialized subreddits can be incredibly useful. /r/chatgpt due to its popularity is not one of those.

It's full of memes and people complaining its not as "good" as it was yesterday when it fails at completing their homework.

I would take anything said there with a big grain of salt, and stick to benchmarks.

Without specifying what you want to do, it's a bit like asking which kitchen knife you should buy.

I think they are all relatively convoluted but can help with some boilerplate, but most of the magic is the llm itself. Setting up a vector search is not that complex, but langchain has many premade connectors for a POC.

I personally haven't seen many actual production usages (or heard of) people really using the auto part (i.e. llm -> llm -> llm feedback loop). It looks cool in theory but has many issues that make it impractical and too expensive imo.

Without knowing more that sounds correct on their part, i.e. they are not just taking down a website based on your email.

You need a legal claim. A trademark is not that.

In Western Europe the closing of many nuclear power plants was a top priority of the green parties. And unfortunately they were mostly succesful.

Car sickness happens when reading a book as well. It's your inner ear being out of sync with what you are witnessing. Which is why looking out the front window helps.

I wonder if this will become new pedestrian behavior? Once people learn that waymo will stop for them no matter what they can just cross in front of it.

Lol, really some random thug with a bit of technical skills?

Given that extensive rap sheet on wikipedia, I highly doubt this is the kind of guy with the self control to sit on his bitcoin while it was worth north of 8 figures.

I agree about short feedback loops, but this was there long before LLMs, and got me into programming initially.

I love that I could compile my program and try it without needing to check it with a teacher or superior. It cost literally nothing to try, and if it failed the computer would tell you it was wrong.

In a sense you are constantly bouncing off of reality (or the limits of the compiler) and that allows you to learn really quickly by experiment. LLMs with their tendency to hallucinate or just provide you with the solution seem like they could be both a blessing and a curse (for learning).

I think Lou Reed is a "true artist" outside of the commercial realm, which is a quality to his credit but also to his detriment. Sometimes these artists also forget they are entertainers.

I saw him 15 years ago in Leuven, Belgium and he played a great concert with all his new songs, ofc at the end of the night the crowd was crying out for more, especially "perfect day" and "walk on the wild side". He conceded and did play them but with great disdain, and it was obvious that he loathed playing them. 15 years later that is really all I remember from the concert.

As a comparison, I also saw the rolling stones (7 years ago in edinburgh), who in contrast were more than happy to play their classic hits, with the original vigour and energy. And it is one of my best memories.

I understand both, but it seems the line between artist and entertainer is a fine one and I can't help but think that the artists who share in the joy of entertaining are probably happier in the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Lou Reed is a bit of a tortured soul who probably makes his own path harder than it needs to be - and this article confirms that.

Wow, I wish you all the best with this product, but your view of what apple intends with the vision pro is either intentionally naive or wishful thinking.

I see the vision pro 3-5 years from now being part of anyone's workflow that currently uses 3+ screens. And I don't see how this kickstarter competes. So just arguing "yeah but apple din't think of ..." is not encouraging.

Nice, that's a great way to begin using it and testing the waters.

There is a slight irony to a youtuber posting a rebuttal "for likes", arguing against the original paper being too focused on the "media algorithm".

I think Avi Loeb is an optimist on aliens, and his paper is not a traditional one, but is throwing some possible explanations out there for something that was very odd, oumuamua. To call him a crackpot, or (that guy) is a bit disingenuous imo.

Nobody would call Drake a crackpot, but his drake equation was an interesting philosophical idea none the less, I personally think we need both, and the physicists getting upset by this seem more insecure to me about someone else getting academic prestige in an unexpected way.

Never heard that before.

I know this to be true in Switzerland, and only in banking. Where it has to do with detecting fraud in your absence.

not sure who or what "king" you are talking about, or the politics involved.

But I agree with the sentiment it's an odd video choice. My attention was captured completely by the violence of the video, instead of what you are trying to demo.

I think you are limiting yourself by thinking of the dataset of the future as just being more and bigger images.

Perhaps it will be trained on whole videos, or a combination of different inputs from agents that move about in the real world / or a video game.

Millions of hours of data captured by headsets like the vision pro?

Not sure all the things it captures, but a model could be trained on the combination of audio/video/spatial/iris/what have you...

Yeah this is the sarcastic take, but MS pushes people to get onto the insider preview to enable certain features. My surface pro wouldn't sleep properly, and only the "insider preview" would fix that for instance.

There is a difference between having a few apps crash more often, and literally having the offical MS help tell you, the only solution is to reinstall everything.

I'm torn on this.

I'm really happy with where MS is going, I think they have been killing it with vs code, chatgpt integration, and I was quite bullish on the surface pros.

But after having owned one for 1 month, they were still a real disaster in the OS area. I "subscribed" to the preview track, and had to reformat my pc twice. It was a fricking disaster. I'm back on osx now, having sold the surface pro.

Hardware and OS is still very much their weakpoint imo. It's like the whole OS is designed by product owners working on macbook pros (which apparantly isn't far from the truth)

do you feel this is a useful nitpick. You are correct, but I feel like "to our time (humans on earth)" is kind of implied.

> same as we do with smartphones now.

You picked an interesting example, were smartphones ever even part of the gartner hype cycle.

I think it was just a straight steady upwards line that rounded off.

You just described it. Time passes slower at high velocities for example.

after 6 months on the International Space Station (ISS), orbiting Earth at a speed of about 7,700 m/s, an astronaut would have aged about 0.005 seconds less than those on Earth.

Automating a repetitive task in a low stakes environment, oh no.

that’s probably the definition of how most programmers got started. Get off your high horse

> Justice could be translated as “sama pona” (literally “good sameness”)

But how is that not just a compound word that needs to be learnt? Because I would not guess justice from "good sameness", it might as well mean morality.

So now you have to learn these compound words and the idea of a 130 word vocab is a bit dubious.

What are the options of financing businesses like this? As a 40 year old salary man, what might I reasonably expect a bank to give me, say if I put down 40k for a 150k business. And assuming I do it under an LLC.

Is that realistic? I know nothing about this world - but I'm assuming some financing exists. Would love to hear takes from people with experience, or any forums that cater to this area of buying SMEs.

I'm in Europe myself.

> It probably takes seconds to write a simple comment and far longer to read a paper.

Unfortunately that is true, it doesn't mean you have to.

The paper he linked to doesn't rebut OP, they show that prompting GPT-4 to provide reasoning makes it provide better answers. That is a different statement than "GPT-4 is actually reasoning", and can do so consistently on novel problems.

> I didn't have time to read this

You had time to respond though, what a silly (and elitist rebuttal).

OP is arguing from a philosophical point of view that GPT-4 can not reason, i.e. is just repeating/parroting on trained logical arguments.

You argue by authority that yes, it actually does reason, which is a far (far) bolder claim than the one OP is making.

I should have clarified I was talking about TNG. Not the Netflix mess

star trek vs star wars is the clear distinction for me.

Not sure I agree with the premise that star trek has elements of science fantasy because the idea of humanity working together flawlessly is unrealistic. I mean he is right it is unrealistic, but by that token any fiction piece is technically "fantasy".
