@christianselig I had missed that part. Wow. The fact that the documentation has been wrong for years blows my mind. Thanks again!
@christianselig may I ask why do you say that method is not safe? According to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/app_and_environment/responding_to_the_launch_of_your_app/about_the_app_launch_sequence “Prewarming executes an app’s launch sequence up until, but not including, when main() calls UIApplicationMain(_:_:_:_:)” and applicationWillFinishLaunchingWithOptions happens only after that.
@christianselig Thank you for an excellent post on this topic! I’ve seen the same issue even though I store my settings in a file. I’m a bit hesitant to disable encryption for my use-case. What do you think of moving the initialization code (that depends on the settings file) from init to applicationWillFinishLaunching?
@codinghorror do you really agree with this? Can you help me understand why you think/feel this way? ChatGPT is certainly not perfect and there is a lot of hype going around, but I do think it is a massive leap compared to anything we’ve seen before. And it’s hard for me to see why anyone should call it a con, psychological or not.
@gknauss @osma this makes for an amusing post and Musk is a problematic figure, to say the least. However, nobody claimed that $6B would solve world hunger: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/11/01/elon-musk-tells-un-food-chief-hell-spend-6-billion-to-fight-hunger.html
Simon WillisonWhat does feel realistic is training these models to be MUCH better at providing useful indications as to their confidence levels
The impact of these problems could be greatly reduced if we could counteract the incredibly convincing way that these confabulations are presented somehow
I also think there's a lot of room for improvement here in terms of the way the UI is presented, independent of the models themselves
@osma What if “Any sufficiently advanced rote memorization machine is indistinguishable from intelligence”?
Jens OhligI wish more people understood that "I want the computer to generate a natural language text that sounds like a plausible answer to a question about x" and "I want the computer to answer a question about x" are two very different problems.
