What do you mean "he thought it would generate code using ChatGPT"... Who gave him access to your computer and why is he allowed to run terminal commands if he has no idea what he's doing

> The worst part is that I'm unable to allocate time to learn new things on my own.
elaborate, what do you mean by unable? -
AI stands for "Text Transformer" these days

@mostr4am Well, you say that you studied psychology, but I see no proof of that. No published work? Or are you just worried of getting doxed? That's fair, but if you co-authored then you could still share a work that has multiple names maybe?
Eitherway, from my perspective right now, you're just a semi-angry dude on the net while Peterson is a well known and respected psychologist. Even if you're trying to make a point here, It's not going to amount to anything more than ramblings on a dev forum. I read the accusations around Peterson and I listened to a plenty of podcasts with him as well as against him and honestly It's really not that bad. People just freaked out because it was popular to be freaked out back then. We moved on and none of this really matters anymore. -
@mostr4am Jungs stuff is literally helping people *today* still. It's not at the peak of psychology anymore but It's definitely not the "same shit" either. Equating Jung to Freud is like equating Leibnitz to Newton or Tesla to Eddison (Though here's more baggage) . All Geniuses in their own right, but some were simply better positioned to have their ideas skyrocket into the public meta.
You can't just reduce the entire field of psychoanalysis to "Freud sucks today bruh" otherwise people will think that you have no idea what you're talking about. -
@mostr4am you keep calling him a Freudian, but Peterson is much closer to Jungs ideology. He still talks about Freud too, because It's still relevant and hell, psych curriculum still contains Freud, so It's not like he can ignore him as a professor either. But for a looong time Peterson was more inclined to Jungs ideas, which are still relevant and very much alive.
I mean it really seems that you only hate the man because It's mainstream but you didn't actually read anything from him, about him and probably only seen like 3 YouTube videos on why to hate Peterson 101.
And to bring this up now, when hes mostly irrelevant is pretty strange in itself. -
@mostr4am Well
1. Peer reviewing is 100% better than random internet comments, so for now I'm unconvinced my good sir.
2. Just because academics have a problem with their gibberish papers doesn't mean that's 100% of papers nor that you can selectively assume which papers those are. Petersons papers are actively being cited and scrutinized all the time, so if it was "common knowledge" that his work is bad, other psychologists wouldn't be citing them in the first place. Those gibberish papers the article refers to are the papers that are gonna end up with the least amount of citations, if any.
3. Petersons published work is also not one-man stuff. He co-authors with a lot of other researchers. He's not even the lead author in a lot of his work... surely someone would have noticed if he was a fraud or a retards by now... He doesn't only co-author with psychoanalysts you know, he works with people across disciplines -
Beauty is subjective but in general I agree. I consider my code "beautiful" when it's both clean code, and the least amount of code with average or better performance.
Sometimes you just write code that just *falls in place* in a really good and simple to follow way and that's to me a good hint of it being a good code.
But then, I'm not convinced it's possible to write "beautiful" code for every use case. Sometimes when Performance or Memory is key, you'll need to make concessions to the readability and maintainability to get the most out of it... Other times you might want to prefer readability even at the expense of performance or "beauty" because you know the code might go through a lot of hands and it's more important that someone is able to maintain it in the long run! So even in coding, using a good common sense is often going to be better than just trying to optimize for "beauty", especially since your "beauty" might not be my "beauty" -
@mostr4am
> I'm writing three of those everymorning right after my first sip of coffee.
oh awesome! Can you provide some links to your peer reviewed psychology papers or published articles? -
@Wisecrack hmm, that estination is similar to what I think is required for current LLMs. About 1/100th of the params should be enough to get similar behavior. I Wish you luck on this!
-
One of my interviewers literally just asked me if I can drink (alcohol). It would be hard to fail my interview back then, but I was also very confident in my skills even for my first coding job so idk.
Last Interview (last year) was much harder, but it was for a much larger company.
In fact in my time as a dev I mostly noticed that the trend is "bigger corporation == harder interview"
Startups tend to be pretty chill even now. However there may be one big part to the myth that interviews got harder and that's that a lot of new tech popped up, so you're expected to know more and more even at entry level postings.
That's my take and my experience only though :) -
I don't know, I like golang a lot lately. It really is a very specific tool for specific needs though. The Enums are a bit wonky, that's true, but they do exist in a similar way they existein Python and you get channel primitives and goroutines with golang which are awesome
-
@Wisecrack how big will your model be to perform as good as 2B?
-
Nah, what we need is to figure out how to do Actual online memory added to the architecture. Not just filling it with words. Interested in the compression networks and energy based models. Those concepts are very under developed but I think they have the right idea in mind
-
@Wisecrack that's nice, but how do you train that? People in chats and forums don't talk in hidden tokens :) and RLHF is biased by default and only as good as the trainers and data... Magical "thought" tokens don't just appear out of thin air in existing training data... And anything that's synthetic is not adding much that the LLM couldnt regress on its own, so at best It's gonna be what? A bit more memory efficient because of preprocessing and at worst It's gonna start being even more biased with only slight upgrade in results.
It's not exactly the jump from a text predictor to "thought" and "reason" as they would like you to believe -
It's just more smoke&mirrors on top of the same architecture but I wouldn't be mad if they didn't be so adamant about calling it "reasoning" and "thoughts"... It's just more buzzwords to manipulate people into thinking they are making an actual AI. Normies already started seeing through this LLM hype so they have to humanize it more to keep it cool for a couple more months while also raking in more money by making it more verbose secretly. I like the tech, but I hate the marketing
-
This doesn't sound like inovation to me. It's the same text predicting process, just part of it is hidden now AND it incurs more cost on your behalf... Waw, hidden costs always a good sign of something they will silently keep increasing

You need money to make money.
If you don't have a lot of money now, don't worry about investing and instead focus on your education/job/opportunities... Once you reach a capital where you're comfortable loosing a X money, then you can invest that X to hopefully get something out of it.
Once you got that, look into investing into multiple places. Stocks, realities, savings accounts, retirement funds and Crypto. But for crypto keep to the stable coins first and only balance them with unstable ones only if you have spare cash after that.
Big rule number 1, never invest money you don't have.
Rule number 2, Always keep enough on your account that you can pay all your bills and food for at least 6 months.
Break either of this rules at your or peril.
Also keep in mind this is a slow process. Start investing soon, but safe, because the first useful results will be visible at earliest 15 years down the line, and even then It's not 100% guarantee -
I've said this a hundred times, but the issues is the "micro-blogging" format.
You can't discuss anything serious, like politics, in 280 chars or less. It forces people to take a topic that you can't do justice in an 80 page essay and condense it to the most knee-jerk reaction possible, with no space for caveats, sources or thoughts.
So what you get is someone trying to say something thoughtful just to find out they have to rewrite it to 280 chars, which means they will drop all the little inportant details and social ques, which will make it look like they are 20x the asshole, claiming everything as a fact, which will upset more people who are now subject to the same limitations and the cycle repeats ad-nauseam...
In short, you either just insult someone in 5 words or you sound like an asshole in 280. There's no other option. It's stupid and should be removed from the internet -
Even that would cause this. They would also have to so busy waiting instead of using blocking calls.
You have to do a lot of wrong stuff to make Java peg all your cores, just like any other language -

Is this one of them SPAM emails I read so much about?

@Tounai pretty sure he started as the villain.

I've read your past stuff and you didn't do everything right. In fact you do everything wrong and people tell you that all the time. You weird little fake man

@-red this exactly
-
@Lensflare hmm, but I think you could train a middleware that translates one memory to another if you have an encoder and a decoder for two people then it should be connectible. But then again, human menory is a lot more complex since It's not Just image data :D
-
You're speed-running all life's bad decisions? Why not buy used?
-
@Lensflare much worse, obviously, but the recreation is actually precise, while a prompt will generate a $max_seed unique images with the same conceptual meaning, the compressed encoding will actually recreate it exactly (It's lossy compression, but lateste attempts outperform jpeg2000)
