My personal "oh shit" moment was in 2015, when this paper came out: https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.05869

It showed me that a model trained only on movie subtitles data exhibited some (very primitive) reasoning. I have been working on Deep Learning and later LLMs ever since.

Erm, ... OpenAI has hyped when it started and it took 6 years to take off. It's way to early to declare the SSI and Thinking Machines have failed.

Delaying doesn't necessarily mean they stop working on it. Also it might be a question of compute resource allocation as well.

You can add Show HN to the title for your own projects. They will show up in the show tab.

Europe is quite conservative, in the sense that they would not invest billions into an unproven venture. It makes sense that it would excel at an industry that requires putting safety above everything.

It's actually true on many levels, if you think about is needed for generating syntactically and grammatically correct sentences, coherent text and working code.

Interpretability research has found that Autoregressive LLMs also plan ahead what they are going to say.

Your use of the phrase makes no sense. It's the "no parking" that proofs the rule and not the exception.

1. It doesn't contextualize that $2 is a good wage for Kenya.

2. It says OpenAI "used" workers which has a negative connotation.

3. It is factually incorrect: OpenAI paid a vendor $12.50 per hour. It's unclear if they knew how much the actual workers were paid.

4. It used a negative framing implying ChatGPT is toxic.

So something like

"OpenAI vendor paid Kenyan workers above median wage to make ChatGPT more safe"

If the author is in the same country as the client then they should also be taking legal action to reclaim the money

But they still seem to be on good terms with the client. If I understand correctly the problem is that they insist on getting paid through upwork:

"When things were not making sense, I still followed the rules. I could’ve easily gotten paid from Robin outside of Upwork. Heck, he was physically in front of me. "

According to Zillow the median house price in Austin is $596k. In Fremont, CA it's $1,4m.

I think a legitimate use-case is asking for confirmation before leaving the page when filling out a form so that the user doesn't loose their data.

I don't think it necessarily shows that. Their good ranking could be completely unrelated to bouceback.

I heard this saying attributed to Larry Page.

I think the same deal applied to all projects at X at the time. The other projects were just not all successful.

You can have payouts proportional to success even in big companies. Google famously payed $120M to Anthony Levandowski. This is because there was an agreement in place to pay projects in X based on the value that they create.

Does this work with MacOS? I didn't see that mentioned in the README.

I have a Linux desktop and MacBook laptop. I would like to run the same Terminal on both.

Genius plan, except that there is no downvote for submissions ...

I found this a little bit ironic (no blame on pg, he does have more important things to do):

pg 1744 days ago

Ok, will fix.

Yep, http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=+&sortb...

EDIT: You are welcome. I am not sure this is comprehensive either, though. For one it will only include submissions with a space in the title, I think.
