Google's search engine has been vulnerable to a new entrant for a while - search results are getting worse, platform is clearly not as good as it used to be. Paid results dominate. It's a bad system waiting for a new entrant to knock it off its pedestal. If someone can actually nail contextualized search (not links, but answers with links as references included) I personally think that'll be the end of that model. ChatGPT is an early instance that shows it might become possible to actually do that in the near term.

on 2023s. the old ones haven't gotten the software update yet. as far as I know.

Subaru's steering wheel controls are pretty good though, MUCH better than in the Camry rental car I'm driving.

I mean, google is hot garbage. Google is a billboard for the entrance to the internet. Look at these ads before entering the internet. That is the single most toxic pattern anyone can encounter. People pay things so they don’t have to deal with ads, as blockers exist because people hate ads. Ads are invasive and noisy to the internet . I get people have to make a living but it is so annoying having pop ups and BS thrown at you when you’re just trying to find a recipe or figure out what to do or where to take your sick child , or just watch a clip of Ohio getting poisoned more than it currently does.

They also track the piss out of you across the internet to shove ads in your face, based on what you search and click on .

Can’t even use a VPN with google because that stupid captcha thing, plus if you do it enough you’re stuck in an infinite cycle of captcha .

Not saying Bing is any better … I am saying that there needs to be a better solution for this problem. Ads are needed for businesses to grow. I get that but there isn’t a need to be cancerous about it

when my money machine is breaking.

Excerpt from the linked content^1 by Paul Kunert:

>Hewlett-Packard Enterprise CEO Antonio Neri was compensated to the tune of $17.36 million to run the company during its fiscal 2022, equating to the average annual pay of 271 employees.

>According to its Annual Report for the year ended 31 October, Neri got a base salary of $1.275 million, up from $50 million year-on-year, option awards of $13.388 million – flat on 2021 – and $2.35 million for a "change in pension value and non-qualified deferred compensation earnings," down from $4 million.

>For those Reg readers yet to work out the average pay for someone at HPE – which we admit might not be among the list of questions to make Jeopardy – it's $64,006.

>"Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the media annual total compensation of all employees was 271 to 1," HPE says in the 10k filing.

>This was based on roughly 61,987 individuals employed by the organization on August 21, 2022.

kelp can't grow everywhere -- you need relatively clear, shallow water of appropriate temperatures. These can be complimentary things.

If people stop using Google search I expect ads on Android to get even worse to make up for lost revenue.

Sure, I basically agree that condemning is pointless and am not interested in condemning anyone. That’s not what climate science is about. I guess that’s maybe more what happens in the political spheres? Idk

Just regarding the 5-10% accuracy thing (and without meaning to nitpick, just explaining what assumption I’m making from what you said); I guess you meant more than 5-10% accuracy because if you’re yet to find data with less than 5-10% accuracy that means you’ve only found data that’s more accurate than that.

If you’ve not found data that’s more accurate than 5-10% you might want to check again. The CO2 analyzer that was installed at Mauna Loa (an active volcano) uses a technique called Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS). (Prior to this, an analyzer was used based on infrared absorption). CDRS I think is about 99% accurate and infrared absorption I am not too certain of but I’m sure it’s more than 5-10%.

They measure the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. It doesn’t really matter if it’s coming from humans or not (incidentally, some of it is, but that’s irrelevant). The point is that we know the effect of more CO2 in the system is that the planet warms, and having modelled that we understand that’s going to cause problems for us. There’s things we can do about it like carbon capture and switching from fossil fuels. Which is cool.

could also be pretraining thought that's another theory that in pretraining data there leaks in some stuff from other languages. But I personally don't buy that it's simply not enough data. Maybe both theories are slightly right it's generalizing better than we thought but it needs so language context at first?

Well it doesn't. ChatGPTs training data is largely English with some other languages mixed in but extremely limited(not exactly sure about this). ChatGPT understanding Chinese could be part of a strange phenomena which we don't completely understand yet. There has been a major paper about it but it seems that these LLMs have an emergent capacity to generalize to languages it is not trained on. One of the theories on this is perhaps during learning it is actually learning a grammer structure, since it's the most efficient way to "understand" human language. This which can be easily copied for other languages. Sorta like if I really learn the ins and outs of Calculous, I can sorta give you a general understanding of the ins and outs of what Physics math is doing without taking a Physics class. What's amazing if true is this would mean AI generalizes much easier than anticipated. Maybe even giving insight to how there statistical models seem to have theory of mind capabilities.

Here's a dude talking about the study. Hopefully u can use this to find it. It's very recently done. https://twitter.com/janleike/status/1625207251630960640?t=3z0NEYPFifguL2u8NOCWfA&s=19

I mean in terms of progress, yes.

In terms of terminator… I dont know lol

Muscle memory is an effective multitasking tool when we can’t take our eyes off the road and putting everything on the touchscreen nullifies this capability.

Let’s ask someone who has no financial interest in the question, like Bill Gates, or Bing directly.

Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates should STFU.

That would be pretty useful, a translator that understands slang, context, and cultural nuance.

I was thinking it would be great if it could learn from a body of text in a certain language, and apply what it learned to conversations in any other language. But I don't know how this stuff works, and how distant of a goal that would be.

My comment about the lack of understanding of the carbon cycle refers more to the quantification of the natural sources of CO2 in the carbon cycle. The assumption is that before the Industrial age the cycle was in balance and man disrupted that. While this may indeed be true. ( but we have been warming since the last ice age) If the scientific community can not accurately quantify the natural release and absorption of CO2 it remains a hypothesis.

I have yet to find any accurate data on the natural sources with less than 5-10% accuracy. My personal opinion is that if more time was spent understanding the natural sources they also could be mitigated and possible more cost effectively.

Fundamentally I am against condemning man, which to be fair had made incredible progress lowering CO2 emissions on a productivity based over the past 100 years. Think about the progress moving from Wood to Coal to Oil to natural gas to nuclear, wind, solar, battery storage etc. Burning stuff enabled mankind, it is the differentiator between us and other living things. Without fire we wouldn’t excite today nor would any of our technology.

My first thought is to use it for translating.

Not an option. iOS doesn’t have the all of the options that I want. Such a emulators and accessing the file structure via a file manager.

I’m also just recently bought a new iOS device a 2022 iPhone se. I bought it to replace my iPod touch and oh boy the differences between iOS 9 and iOS 16 make it look like a completely different OS some things I can’t figure no matter how many times I try to google it mostly because I can’t get a straight answer.

Like Twitter won’t play videos when I’m signed in through the safari browser I also can’t seem to share pictures from webpages straight to my google drive from safari it just won’t show the thumbnail preview before I press save to drive

"ChatGPT is surprisingly good at forming natural, albeit a bit formal, answers that seem to understand traditional and pop-cultural references in China."

Huh, neat. I didn't know ChatGPT training data included other languages.

With multiple countries rushing to create their own NLP chatbots, it would be cool if they could take it to the next step and create language agnostic chatbots, somehow. I'm guessing that would take a much deeper level of "understanding" that ChatGPT does not yet possess.

I remember old Top Gear episode where Jeremy was complaining about this very thing. And that was about 15-20 years ago.

He said that it's not just stupid but dangerous because I need pull my focus away from road to set temperature, or tune radio. Which could all be done with a simple knob or button in older cars.
