Or may be education should be more dynamic, engaging, and interactive, instead of having lowest paid teacher jobs, with overcrowded classes, heavenly focused on boring memorization (without clear purpose), and boring tests.


this game is more then 15 years old, I remember it on break.com!


in modern day, at least stories I heard, criminals will be placed in temp holding sell (worst places), once max time in temp jail is expiring (legally allowed), they just add new charges, so effectively, you will be held in worst jail cell possible for weeks if not months, this is how I understood from stories of multiple life time criminals with 10+ years in jail time served.


if google is largest proprietary software developer, which company is not?


all the other ones, hence "largest".


how sure are you that google is ranking lowest by contributions to open source projects ?


Your original question leaves no other answer, rephrase perhaps.


can't it is looked, should have put more thought before typing, others already pointed out what I intended to say.


Look, I know this is going to paint me as the stereotypical "Pedantic HN commentor", but sincerely, the only response to

"if google is largest proprietary software developer, which company is not?"

is "all the other ones".

I promise I'm not being purposefully obtuse, I really can't find any other meaning to that comment.

I really don't know how Google "ranks" w.r.t OSS contributions.


I think there is a language issue here (doesn’t seem like English is their first language?), so I suspect the original comments intent was different than what it actually says


I mean pedantically, both things could be simultaneously true:

Company XYZ is the largest developer of proprietary software

Company XYZ is the largest contributor to open source

If we're talking about raw amounts, not %-of-company's-output


GPT has no sense, or care when it is wrong or right, such sense is only (arguably) driven by human through prompt interaction and throughout training of model, while humans and other animals able to update there's internal state just from single observation or interaction, and integrate future information with such single observation for very long time.


What if GPT was integrated with a module to

1. Take light input. Video/images.

2. Take sound input.

3. Touch, heat input.

And other inputs from the environment. Then there were mechanisms which could also be neural networks that will transform this data into more digestible way for GPT and GPT was also in addition specifically trained to act based on this input.

Then it would run in cycles, where it gets this input, and it will provide output on how it plans to react to the data, maybe every 100ms.

It then could also have a storage it can use, where it can store data as part of the output to later retrieve it again.

So it would be a set of modules that is controlled and interpreted by GPT.

It could then do all of that above, no? And all of it should be just a matter of implementing. The only near time challenges may be certain types of inaccuracies and or producing tokens in some cases might take too long time to have fast reaction time.

So basically you'll try to run as frequent cycles as possible with the inputs mentioned above, other neural networks identifying the objects, in many different ways and all the context about the environment, unless a new version of GPT becomes completely multi-modal.

And you run those loops, then GPT gives output what it wishes to do, e.g. store some fact for later usage, move there, move here, etc. Or retrieve some information using embeddings then decide again, and short term memory would just be this context sized window, and if it needs more it just looks into its own memory for embeddings.


at least in my limited perspective, root issue is learning dynamics of internal model that represents self (internal world) and external world.


What do you mean by these dynamics exactly?


how system updates and maintains own model(s) when new information added in form of single/few observation and/or interactions, without ability to replay data, without catastrophic forgetting etc..., and importantly, how such system's model(s) grow in complexity while retaining stability and redundancies.


I tried Optery, Incogni, and long time ago OneRep, way to lazy to do it myself, don't worry they will have my info, data is already on internet.

Incogni at least in there's claim offers opt-out from private databases (no way to verify ) and some but not all public database (eg. google searches).

Optery has largest list of public databases (with most expensive subscription) out of everyone else, there's costumer service is responsive regarding failed removal.

OneRep was not bad long time ago when they run it from Belarus (I know, crazy), but they would refresh somehow search caches too (it could be ok, or make things worse), they don't seem to offer advertise this service any more.

Don't search your self only via google, for example, bing will give different results, some databases will have misspelled names (could be deliberately), so there still some work to make sure all records are removed.

At this point, this is like privacy tax that you have to budget to have at least your address on cell phone number not easily discoverable.


seems like wrong case study, cli power (at least for me) is in comments and record keeping what has been done months if not years ago, and an "easy way" to script repetitive tasks, I just don't see how same thing can be achieved with GUI:

record video and then comment it ?

have detailed logs what button, and what fields where edits/pressed ?

etc ...


In second part (Refactoring to serverless microservices) where is database in there ?


I'm going to guess that that database moved to RDS and, once there, was likely refactored as services were decomposed to microservices... but that's not mentioned in the article.


There is not way in hell, I will be able to work for such company more then 6 month (well may be it if it is 7 figures, but even then I don't think I last longer then one year), I am sorry who has to go through this.


Same, I just use in many places instead of first google searches, it is so easy to narrow search to a highly specific topic.
