I wonder if whoever ran this test prefers this type of content and its tied to a wifi network, same device, linked account, IP or location and there's no detail of the setting of the test. Too many factors going on to conclude with not a lot of transparency for reproducibility or flaws in the data collection.

My guess is that the rust human error format is derived from some raw format that could easily be propagated to any other UX/UI and right now we are only familiar with the CLI format. I doubt they are keeping the state with a string of "^^^^" rather than just some 'error_starts_at_char: 8' and then some pretty print function prints the ^.

Do doctors want to gatekeep technology to make sure they get a cut every time someone uses this machine? This seems to be sending a signal to the market for more competition of scanning technology so I can see this driving the price down for everybody in the long term.

That is already implicitly there - tons of SEO content probably was used to train this model. Information available in the internet since forever.

Most (if not all) of those apps are free though, you supply them as a convenience because you know that smartphone owners spend money. The host OS loses access to that info, and that is used to target better ads in certain phone platforms.

> Here's one example: GPT-4 was actually done back in August of last year. If their goal was to maximize profit, the obvious thing to do would be to release API access to it as soon as possible.

They did that, that's how Reid Hoffman got early access to write his book, that's how Microsoft got access to start working on Bing/ChatGPT4 for a cool $10 billion and that's how countless of other got early access. Got the money, got the marketing and got the synchronized deployment of multiple use cases by a selected crew of companies and they get to say the corpspeak of 'we care, we didn't release on August!'. This is taken from the Apple iOS SDK book, you make the API changes and release privately to have the announcement and a parade of implementations by third party to prove that it is viable.

This right here is the right strategy, make a new framework and wait for the model to be re-trained with a corpus large enough for it to be correct. Rinse and repeat.

If you zoom-out a ship is just a small island, a rock or something floating around in the water that can be used as a pit-stop. If birds evolved to judge something as useful to rest - these birds just see a higher quantity of pit stops. Would be interesting if they lower the required calories to make the trip beforehand as time passes.
