- > In that case the winning strategy would be to switch hedge funds every 3 years.
When you flip a coin, you can easily get all heads for the first 2-4 flips, but over time it will average out to about 50% heads. It doesn’t follow from this that the winning strategy is to change the coin every 3 flips.
- I think the point of comparison (whether I agree with it or not) is someone (or something) that is unable to feel remorse saying “I’m sorry” because they recognize that’s what you’re supposed to do in that situation, regardless of their internal feelings. That doesn’t mean everyone who says “sorry” is a psychopath.
- But this sounds like an ideal setup, doesn't it? Tim is fantastic at execution, but he does need a shot of big-picture vision every now and then. Tim as CEO with Steve as Chairman, steering the broader direction, feels like it could have been a perfect pairing. The issue with how things actually turned out is that Tim ended up on his own - all execution, no vision.
- I think you misunderstood what people are taking issue with. You explain that this matter is complicated and non-trivial - and yes, that’s exactly the point!
People don’t have a problem with real-time communication via audio or video in general. They have a problem with the suggestion that it’s a trivial issue that can be easily fixed by "jumping on a quick call."
The point about there being a "fairly in-depth" description of the issues isn’t that there’s nothing more to discuss - fixing those issues would obviously require talking through the specifics. The point is that this is a real problem that requires action and commitment, so suggesting it’s a non-issue that can be clarified with “a quick call” comes off as dismissive and unproductive, whether that’s intentional or not.
- I don’t see a claim that anyone with a negative attitude toward AI shouldn’t be listened to because it automatically means that they formed their opinion on older models. The claim was simply that there’s a large cohort of people who undervalue the capabilities of language models because they formed their views while evaluating earlier versions.
- Turns out what constitutes "claiming" an IP on the site is nothing like you’d expect. You don’t need to prove you control the IP. All it takes is embedding a transparent 1x1 tracking pixel on a website, and every IP that loads the page gets counted as “claimed” by you. In other words, it’s just a tally of visitors (or even ad impressions), not actual control of the IPs. So there’s really nothing meaningful here.
- No, it's because that's what ChatGPT users internally to calculate things, manipulate data, display graphs etc. That's what its "python" tool is all about. The use cases usually have nothing to do with programming - the user is only interested in the end result, and don't know or care that it was generated using Python (although it is noted in the interface).
The LLM has to know how to use the tool in order to use it effectively. Hence the documentation in the prompt.
- > Worse, after attempting to delete all chats and disable memory, I noticed that some information still seemed to persist.
I'm fairly sure "seemed" is the key word here. LLMs are excellent at making things up - they rarely say "I don't know" and instead generate the most probable guess. People also famously overestimate their own uniqueness. Most likely, you accidentally recreated a kind of Barnum effect for yourself.
- > there are far more ways for a system to be disordered than ordered
I'm a complete layman when it comes to physics, so forgive me if this is naive — but aren't "ordered" and "disordered" concepts tied to human perception or cognition? It always seemed to me that we call something "ordered" when we can find a pattern in it, and "disordered" when we can't. Different people or cultures might be able to recognize patterns in different states. So while I agree that "there are more ways for a system to be disordered than ordered," I would have thought that's a property of how humans perceive the world, not necessarily a fundamental truth about the universe
- Is "game-changing" supposed to imply changing the game to a completely different one? Like, is the metaphor that we were playing soccer, and then we switched to paintball or basketball or something? I always understood it to mean a big change within the same game - like we’re still playing soccer, but because of a goal or a shift, the team that was on defense now has to go on offense...
- We used to have this in the form of a pair of HTML tags: <frameset> and <frame> (not to be confused with the totally separate <iframe>!). <frameset> provided the scaffolding with slots for multiple frames, letting you easily create a page made up entirely of subpages. It was once popular and, in many ways, worked quite neatly. It let you define static elements once entirely client-side (and without JS!), and reload only the necessary parts of the page - long before AJAX was a thing. You could even update multiple frames at once when needed.
From what I remember, the main problem was that it broke URLs: you could only link to the initial state of the page, and navigating around the site wouldn't update the address bar - so deep linking wasn’t possible (early JavaScript SPA frameworks had the same issue, BTW). Another related problem was that each subframe had to be a full HTML document, so they did have their own individual URLs. These would get indexed by search engines, and users could end up on isolated subframe documents without the surrounding context the site creator intended - like just the footer, or the article content without any navigation.
- Neither is impressive solely because we've gotten used to them. Both were mind-blowing back in the day.
When it comes to AI - and LLMs in particular - there’s a large cohort of people who seem determined to jump straight from "impossible and will never happen in our lifetime" to "obvious and not impressive", without leaving any time to actually be impressed by the technological achievement. I find that pretty baffling.
- Correct. They've mentioned the name during the live announcement - https://www.youtube.com/live/kA-P9ood-cE?si=GYosi4FtX1YSAujE...
How would that help? This doesn't seem like a solution to the CSRF problem
