> In gpt3's case, it outputs artistic expression in the form of poetry/stories and direct commerical interest from data used by common crawl and their api service.

Okay, so you don't own part of my brain, but StackOverflow would? Because I definitely commercially use information I've read there.

And I mean, I know English because of all the English material I've read. If I write poetry, I'm working off training data I've read online. It would be borderline impossible to be an artist under these rules.

> We know that gpt 3 was trained on which data.

We don't know what data GPT uses for a given answer. We don't know what data I use for a given answer. But we know what data I read, and we know what data GPT read.

Far as I can tell, the brain analogy is 1:1 here.
If we're talking about large entities as polluters, more realistically China's coal industry is the world's worst carbon polluter by a dramatic margin. The global coal industry is half of all human-sourced CO2 output on the planet and China's coal industry is larger than the rest of the world's coal industry combined. Worst of all, they're aggressively adding a lot more coal plants to their grid.
Whoever ends up in charge can extract more wealth. Staying on top is the first problem for any elite.
I assume the people who make NVME drives are much more knowledgeable than me on the topic. I just use drives as they come and don't obsess over how to get 5-10% more life out of them with tweaks. Your best bet is to buy a drive from a reputable brand and not one you haven't heard of before or at least haven't researched. As far as data, back up early, back up often.

Comment section will bring out the foamers, but consider:
There's demand for service from mpls to Chicago, but it would have to be much faster- at 3 hours it would be competitive. That would require massive rail investment, and would basically create a new railroad next to the existing one, as fast passenger and slow freight don't mix. This is probably not cost effective. A nice bus gets you better service with lower capital expenditures.

West of mpls, the train drags 200k lb sleeping cars along with lounge and diner cars for only a handful of passengers. Swedish and Russian railways pack 6 to a compartment; Amtrak struggles with 2. No way this is cost effective or a good use of capital.

Deregulate the fra rules, allow electric buses on the rails (and eliminate the crazily overbuilt rail standards), and you might get real innovation and a competitive product...
Sorry, just noticed this was a repost: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22408604 .
We should legitimize urban camping, turning the odd grassy medians around our cities into safe and legitimate "micro campgrounds", each with density-adjusted designated camp sites, regular trash pickup, bathroom facilities, etc. Require urban campers to register for a camp site at very low or no cost. Require campers to follow standard rules regarding camp site cleanliness, noise levels, etc.

Then we should find all the empty homes in the area and start moving homeless people into them. Maybe charge an obscene tax on livable units that remain vacant so rents can fall. If we run out of homes and still have a problem we should build more homes near the homeless people and encourage them to move in. I think after this we will see very few full-time urban campers.
I am a programmer and I make very scientific decisions. I don't like this language because syntax is not like C.
hi,
I would like to say that I think you are approaching this with a very old mindset. I have made survey that had a hundred people in it most of which said they don't subscribe to any paid news and most of them said they would subscribe to a service which provides access to multiple newspapers, and they are willing to pay good money for that .

Would you be available to talk about this and let me know what I am missing. As I have been wanting to do this for a while but sadly all my attempts to contact papers came to a dead end.
If we ever plan to make a manned mission to that place, we better pack enough water filters and a nuclear reactor, else we solely rely on a mad man in a blue box.
Training employees use to be common in the US. Companies trained their workforce and marketed the quality of their training programs to both customers and potential employees.

US employers didn't do this out of the goodness of their shareholder's hearts or (as in Germany) any regulatory obligation. They did it for competitive advantage; skilled labor was scarce and worth investment.

Those days are long past. Contemporary workers are oblivious to this history as it has been more than two generations since this situation prevailed in the US. The reasons for this change can no longer be discussed in a candid manner without triggering people so I won't attempt it.
All-cause mortality is significantly lower for cyclists. Yes, motorists do kill a lot of people, but in the big picture they're still less dangerous than a sedentary lifestyle.
I wouldn't say that this is a pervasive problem, this is single issue over a decade. And it was dealt with by the relevant Managers but not the University HR. It's more of an indictment of HR in general rather than the culture of the uni.

I would still consider the Uni if I were you! What were you thinking of doing there?
I became a partner in a very small consulting firm. But yes, manager positions were widely available.

There's no memorization involved at all.

You create a bin script or an alias the first time you do it. i.e. typing `escape-html "<h1>hello</h1>"` in your terminal is infinitely more efficient and easier than firing up some app and navigating some menus. This also supports of all of unix actions like piping and output redirection.

I honestly quite shocked how many developers on MacOs are not familiar with the terminal and are weirdly afraid of it!
It's pretty much just 'apt-get install nginx' and a port forward on your router

Isn't this what leads to home networks being cracked and added to botnets (or your webcams broadcast to the public)?

If you aren't willing to commit to good sysadmin practices like doing regular patches and segmenting off the public webserver from the rest of your network, you're pretty much guaranteeing that you're going to get hacked some day. Auto updates can help, but if you're not actively monitoring, some day an update is going to fail to apply due to a package conflict and you're going to remain unpatched.

If all you need is a simple webserver, you're better off letting someone else host it.
I wonder if these relaxed terms are only meant to lure someone in and lock them into Google's ecosystem. Once, you're locked in, the beast turns against you again
Stringly typed functions frustrate me to no end. Tooling for programming gets better every year, yet stringly typed code is so resistant to any of those improvements. Pycharm at some point had to add SQL tools in python strings for gods sake. That kind of weird deep special casing is everywhere with strings drive behavior. Why use a class (inspectable) when a dictionary, a function, and an if statement (opaque) will do?
Lol, when I work for JPM IB tech in NYC, I opened a ssh tunnel just to be able to listen to my mp3 collection at home. infotech emailed asking me wtf I was doing with my tunnel. They know everything. Sorry to say that.
Really? In my experience, when DDG doesn't find what I need it rarely happens that Google does.
Oh for sure, focus-follows-mouse is widely available. But with CWM, it is easy to configure the WM so that a window being focused doesn't also cause it to be raised.
The whole premise or necessity for Nix & Nixpkgs is that dynamic linking and the FHS is fraught with peril.
We added metrics and logging at my work a while back. At this point the only problems we have are ones that the stats don't help track down. Ha ha.
Some of that is due to regulatory capture. A big role of government certifications and minimum requirements and private accreditations is to artificially limit supply. For example consider the ADA (a private “professional organization”) fighting the introduction of a lower cost role called “Dental Therapist” to perform the most common mechanical procedures cheaply: https://reason.com/2017/02/22/the-nonsensical-argument-again...

Another part of it is that American college education has low upfront costs typically, due to the high supply of government loans and grants. This lets students access college with low short term financial burden and removes the immediacy of considering the cost benefit tradeoff. This is why we have tens of thousands of students graduating every year with degrees in fields with no economic value. There isn’t a clear incentive and feedback signal to tell students “get a degree in what society values” instead of “get a degree in your area of interest”. And then later when they’re unemployable or paid less than they’d like, they act confused as if the system is broken even though it was their choice to not study something that others value enough to pay for. That shows up in various political struggles 10-20 years later, as large quantities of those very same students now feel left behind.

Germany is different not only because of the availability of diverse education paths (like vocational programs), but due to its culture. The trades are respected in Germany. In the US that cultural value on trades has diminished. And now we are seeing many of those trades compensated heavily due to reduced supply.
That's odd, afghan saddles strike me as far more closely related to western[1] than to english.

(I've heard buzkashi matches are usually won by men in their late 40s or early 50s. Given the physical nature of the sport, I believe that says something about spontaneous organisation afghan political culture.)

Edit: oh, the saddle thing was a size issue. I'd've told them to embrace the suck, because better the saddle fit the mount[2] than the trooper :-)

[1] lending credence to the persian->arabic->iberian->western hypothesis.

[2] taking that to the extreme, one gets the proposed saddle design by a european general, which was suitable for leaving on the mounts in camp, even being rollable, but undoubtedly would've required much-better-than-conscript troopers. (the wrong tradeoff for modern times: compare Napoleon vs Mamluks.)
Maybe that will at least encourage some US universities to offer shorter PhDs like in Europe, where one year masters degree followed by two years PhD for a total of three years postgraduate isn't uncommon.
For me it's weird. It has worked well sometime in the past, but in the last half year or so it became close to unusable again. For instance, if I search something related Pandas (the Python package), it consistently gives me the doc on Pandas 0.23 instead of the current one. I am switching back to Google, I've had enough for now.

He’s starting X using startx, but from https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq11.html

“The recommended way to run X is with the xenodm(1) display manager. It offers some important security benefits over the traditional startx(1) command.“

I think startx now only works if you’re root or have given users additional permissions - xenodm doesn’t require that.

>the transaction does not cost these folks anything they value.

Absolutely and you can say that about literally everyone who gets caught by a confidence trickster and some do.

It really hasn't worked out for too many indigenous cultures where that was used as the precise justfication, for example. Usuary is another one you can defend that way and people do. It's not so commonly held anymore by those not profiting from it.

When there is a tradeoff between what is good fo soceity at large being the people who live in it and what is good for for a big company's market dominance the latter is meant to come absolutely last and be tolerated if it doesn't infringe anything much else of value to the people. I can't see that as being the case here. No doubt Zuckerberg disagrees because he's convinced anything good for him and his company is pefection for society by the definition that he wants to do it.

Nobody understands what they are paying. Nobody understands their liability. Google et al all desperately hide it and have done a bait and switch to make it happen.

There is _NO_ informed consent to the contract and the contract is invalid.

Programmer here. I've been using DDG for about 2 years and only find myself desperately going to google about once per month. And that's usually for image search. Google's results now seem to me too "commercial" as if all the spots were just sold, offering me something they want to sell, not what I want to search.
Understood. It's a bit like the Google Assistant saying, 'Stand aside, I don't need the instructions. I'm being helpful.' And then doing the wrong thing. It should just RTFM.
It might trigger me but I’m still interested in hearing your perspective on why this went away. My simple take is that the economic pressure to train workforces went away as the supply of labor changed, and there wasn’t a competitive advantage to spending on training. Is it something more than that?
I hate to say this as most of my income is from teaching at a University, but this pandemic has shown us that you can get a quality education remotely. Also, most of college can be learned free online or in books these days. The only real value anymore are the friends you make who will one day be people who will help you get work.
so that isn't really directly. Directly is O(1)

Perhaps it has to do with search behaviour, perhaps what I search for has better results on Google (even though the quality of search results on Google have degraded extensively over past several years in favour of sites hosting large volume of content).

Every time I don't get a result I seek from a search engine, I think about making note of it for a 'search engine wall of shame', but I never acted upon that as the urge to solve problem at hand takes precedence. I will try to start making it a habit here on, so that I can provide some facts for such future discussions.
I had innumerable problems with images not loading (there weren't any errors on the console, the div was just blank) and it was always just pitiful slow to load the ones it did.

reCAPTCHA was a brief interruption, occasionally; contact with hcaptcha is "well, there goes 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back ... I should just close the tab cause I didn't want to know that bad anyway"

I recognize that's not an answer to what you can do about hcaptcha, but since hcaptcha's goal is to make the web harder to use, I guess from a certain perspective there's nothing wrong with it
I had an Intel 6000-series 1/2 TB NVMe. After just 2 years of light, fitful use in my laptop, my BIOS warned me it was about to fail. I spent the night doing backups, and it totally failed the next day. I count myself lucky, but I did not replace it with an Intel product.
True. Practical hands on beats book learning by orders of magnitude. Apprenticeships need to become the norm again. It is ridiculous to get deep in college debt that will take a major portion of your wage earning years to pay back.

Yes. This extends not just to things like symmetry but also to what we think the concepts of "space" and "time" to be. The Critique of Pure Reason is the classic work on this.[1] There Kant defines the phenomenon and the noumenon, sort of as aspects of everything that isn't us. The phenomenon is what we perceive, the noumenon is the "thing-in-itself" which lies beyond our perception. Though there's an open question if it's beyond our conception, Kant left that unanswered, which is where the ensuing debate over the nature of math comes in.

Why does this relate to your question? Because we cannot prove _anything_ not to be an artifact of our perception, nothing that we conceptualize is necessarily inherent in reality. In a strict sense, reality is unknowable to us. In a practical sense, none of this matters because math seems to work well. Still, if we wish to be undogmatic, then we should approach questions of existence or non-existence with humility and not base ontology entirely on perceptual illusions.

Right, but in CWM, you can also make it so that clicking on it doesn't raise it either. Which is useful if you want to click UI elements in a window without raising it.

I completely reject the idea that college is a job training program. Making connections between a "career" and an undergraduate degree is exactly how we got where we are today.

I'm in support of continuing education but I don't think it needs to be tied to jobs. People should continue learning and pursuing their interests for their whole lives.

If we want job training trade schools exist and do a great job.
Unfortunately it's at far too high of a latitude - in addition to the solar power problem, it's also far too cold to send affordable hardware.

There's lots of water ice elsewhere on Mars in much more friendly latitudes (Arcadia Planitia is the region I've seen bandied about most often).

At lower latitudes you pick a site where the ice is either not too far underground, or exposed through some exotic action like a calving cliff face (though the latter are usually less convenient for landing).
These are examples of things that involve a creditor relationship. You usually postpay your phone and electric bills; even though you prepay your rent, in practice the eviction process is so slow that landlords are effectively on the hook for several months' rent.

Most of these have workarounds. You can buy prepaid cell phone plans (usually cheaper and easier than postpaid!). Electric companies will let anyone open up an account with a deposit.
1. I remember that as far back as 2004 and 2005, Gmail already posted showed in the UI how much the user was using, out of the total.

2. As a freeloader, you are not in any contract with Gmail; this article is about Local Guides who did a form of work for Google, in exchange for a form of compensation, which is easily seen as a contract.
Apple has historically be very stingy about RAM in iPhones. It looks like modern RaspberryPis today have 2, 4, or 8gb. The current-gen iPhone SE has 3gb, 11 standard/pro/max have 4gb. They're in the same ballpark. So it is possible, but Apple is so incredibly focused on mobile I can see them still investing in a custom filesystem focused on SSD, low memory overhead, per-file encryption, firmlinks, and whatever custom stuff they add for system updates, securing the boot volume, etc.
I suspect the use of “semantic” where it should be “semantics” is explained by the French author translating “semantique” a little too directly.
