I love Wen and I hope she has all the pizza she could ever want

I like the idea of never referring to it again

The story is too on-the-nose even for an onion article. “REPRESENTATIVE GOOD SAYS REPRESENTATIVES BAD”

Car horns should come with a time limit: you can only use it so much per day. Then people might actually use them correctly. It’s not a rage button. It’s a safety device.

I don’t agree that ChatGPT has gotten dumber, but I do think I’ve noticed small differences in how it’s engineered.

I’ve experimented with writing apps that use the OpenAI api to use the GPT model, and this is the biggest non-obvious problem you have to deal with that can cause it to seem significantly smarter or dumber.

The version of GPT 3.5 and 4 used in ChatGPT can only “remember” 4096 tokens at once. That’s a total of its output, the user’s input, and “system messages,” which are messages the software sends to give GPT the necessary context to understand. The standard one is “You are ChatGPT, a large language model developed by OpenAI. Knowledge Cutoff: 2021-09. Current date: YYYY-MM-DD.” It receives an even longer one on the iOS app. If you enable the new Custom Instructions feature, those also take up the token limit.

It needs token space to remember your conversation, or else it gets a goldfish memory problem. But if you program it to waste too much token space remembering stuff you told it before, then it has fewer tokens to dedicate to generating each new response, so they have to be shorter, less detailed, and it can’t spend as much energy making sure they’re logically correct.

The model itself is definitely getting smarter as time goes on, but I think we’ve seen them experiment with different ways of engineering around the token limits when employing GPT in ChatGPT. That’s the difference people are noticing.

I live near the former Holmdel Bell Labs complex. It’s an amazing building. It was sadly left in disrepair for decades until a developer bought it a few years back and turned it into a corporate office space with a mall at the ground floor. I got my Covid shots there.

This is one of the problems with using country TLDs. They look cute, but when you buy it, you may not realize who controls it. Lemm.ee is similarly in a precarious position.

I really wish we could all agree to stop using country TLDs for this

In about a year we’ll probably have that anyway. Practices like that will emerge as people get more experience running fediverse servers, and then they’ll get adopted by people trying to do what’s known to work

One word: footnotes

They can’t execute. Here’s my theory: their overarching plan is to create an environment where users have to see ads (like YouTube) so that they can create a revenue model to pay creators. They’re just so bad at messaging and company-wide planning that they’re doing all these things piecemeal rather than presenting it as a whole package. If they presented this all at once with one as the cost of the other, it would’ve been a little more coherent. But Reddit sucks at this and turned it into a dumpster fire. They aren’t ready to turn all the old features off at one moment and the new ones on the next.

They sell your data and don’t feel bad. Why should you feel bad about selling your data?

Well you managed to get the username aidan@lemmy.world before me, so that’s something

The iCloud support app? I’ll say it if you won’t. Apple needs to be shamed into doing something about that
