Here's a shadertoy that simulates the behavior: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/fs3yRl

I feel the same way. But just want to point out that the link is actually satire and makes a push for the same side as yours.

Not mentioned here is Fabrice Bellards record breaking (at an enormous compute cost) compressor https://bellard.org/nncp/.

Deceptive habits like this give ML a really bad reputation and gives me so little confidence that this technology will be used responsibly as ML becomes increasingly powerful.

Didn't google used to incorperate this into their search rankings? There's no way they still do that today right? Imagine how amazing it'd be if they suddenly turned on the button to downrank pages as a function of how many cookie banners and autoplaying videos etc you have to click away to get to the content.

Thank goodness. It's not even trasmitted through the air.

Writers have a responsibility to ensure that they take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of their statements, and that those statements are clear.

What a crazy take. Writers can write whatever they want. A book of poetry or prose doesn't have to meet some HN rationalist level of accuracy and rigour.

I was initially annoyed by this title but now I'm gonna switch my perspective to being happy that ideas like this are floating around since it acts as a really cheap signal to tell if someone knows what they're talking about or not when it comes to ML.

Another great option is https://textsynth.com/playground.html (made by the very impressive developer Fabrice Bellard - of linux in javascript and world pi digit calculation fame). He deserves some money funneled through that site for his efforts over the decades (and the output is about as good as gpt-3 imo).

If you copy a piece of GPL code but change the whitespace or some arbitrary number that produces the same output, does that still still break the license (if you don't make the source public)?

Makes me think of how gross it is that they still milk avicii's brand to this day years after his body left our world.

The 'inverse square root' carmack trick is hardly trivial.

We're probably a long way away from narrative, but dall-e for video is probably only a year or two away from now (they're probably training the model as we speak).

Unless every invention is gonna be AI generated (which is kind of a scary situation), intellectual property still needs to be a thing (otherwise people won't have incentive to invent, it'll just be stolen from them).

I know it's a sort of exaggerated paranoid thought. But like these things do all come down to scale and some areas of the world definitely could have the amount of compute available to make dall-e level quality full scale videos which we might be consuming right now. It really does make you start to wonder at what point we will rationally be able to have zero trust that not everything we watch online is fabricated.

I agree. However I doubt it'll be long lived. Twitter gives up on features all the time (fleets, I doubt spaces will be around in a year). They'll try this out and abandon it like most of their experiments.

It's funny how powerful genuinely acting honorable and having a good reputation can be in a world where everyone seems to think you can get away with sociopathic behavior.

I wonder if it'd be legal to train your own model with a similar architecture but using input-ouput pairs generated from copilot itself (fair use right?). Sell it for $9/month.

I totally acknowledge and sympathize with people (nerds) who strugge with finding love and sex. I don't recoil, I was a similar situation as a teenager. My point is mostly that it's far from a global population wide phenomenon. Plenty of people are having sex - it's alive and well - and it's not really going out of fashion would be my clarified expanded argument.

The comments in this thread and this article is making me want to read HN less. (What a crazy incorrect take for most of the population.)

Wow the source code is kind of blowing my mind. I had no idea this was possible (only in theory).

  import * as torch from "./torch.mjs";

  ...

  const w0 = torch.tensor(weights["conv1.0.weight"]);
  const b0 = torch.tensor(weights["conv1.0.bias"]);
  const w1 = torch.tensor(weights["conv2.0.weight"]);
  const b1 = torch.tensor(weights["conv2.0.bias"]);
  const lw = torch.tensor(weights["out.weight"]);
  const lb = torch.tensor(weights["out.bias"]);

  const convs = nn.Sequential(
    nn.Conv2d(w0, b0, 1, 2),
    nn.MaxPool2d(2),
    nn.ReLU(),
    nn.Conv2d(w1, b1, 1, 2),
    nn.MaxPool2d(2),
    nn.ReLU()
  );
  ... 

Recruiters reaching out barely means anything, they're usually just automated

He should at least remove his from the bottom of the site (so it won't be attached to googling his name). It can still act as bad press for spotify and as a vehicle for getting a new job if his name isn't there (it can just be pseudo anonymous by only revealing his name if a company is interested).

I recently got a new phone and forgot my apple password but I considered just creating a new account because I didn't really consider it that big of a deal to just start fresh. I don't cling onto my emails and I only have like 30 contacts that I actually care about, all of which I have their emails stored in gmail rather than in contacts (and don't call them anyway). So I'm not sure I would care if I had to start from scratch.

That's a really funny wild idea

It's crazy how much work went into those old games. I have a feeling those programmers weren't even paid that well considering how few people owned computers back then (so the market can't have been large).

Even elon strangely dismissed that obvious cause when it was pointed out under his pinned tweet https://twitter.com/BillyM2k/status/1529125347148455937 (elons explanation doesn't make any sense).

The popularity of these types of word games around developer circles and my total disinterest in them (partially because I'm so bad at them) makes me wonder if I have a differnet brain setup than the average coder.

The author didn't claim it was an accessibility concern.

That "NEVER SETTLE" author bio here is funny in this context. I thought it the whole repo creator was some disgruntled coder who wrote it to push for never settling out of court (but it turns out to be the slogan for the phone).
