If they succeed, Eleuther should change their name to ReallyOpenAI.
Solution: Eat sensible amounts of good food.

How do people struggle with such a basic aspect of human existence? Does food packaging in the US not list ingredients or something?
Valid complaints in this thread, but just a quick correction that Xcode has supported tabs since 2010 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1184997/enabling-tabs-in...).

That's what it means to be evil :)

Making excuses for bad behaviour improves nothing, least of all your life.
I was actually thinking about this before I posted and discounted email. It has high interoperability but you cannot move your email address to a different provider if you didn't opt to use a domain you owned.

This is obvious when you say it but I can port my phone number between phone companies whereas I cannot move my Gmail address to a different email provider.
Yeah, but that's not for desoldering. It's for things like soldering heat sinks to flip-chip dies, or hermetic sealing cans for sensitive components.

I'm not surprised by them selling indium solder wire, but they offer all kinds of solder under that brand.
Well that's what you say but that's not true, to be marked as domonetisatised also lowers your view counts since the video stops showing up, it also might not show for subscribers.
Youtube is also able to monetize your video, but since people have reported seeing adds on demonetized videos, you just don't get the money.

> That's unlikely due to a anti-conservative bias though.

Can you point me out to left leaning content that gets demonetized constantly so I could compare with the right leaning one. I've not seen this happen in people I've subscribed and would like to see if this claim has any merit.
I don't know a single intelligent person who believed this argument, it simply doesn't hold up.
Would be good if this could decentralized bittorrent/BOINC style somehow.

Wouldn't mind contributing some horsepower
This is a bit like saying “who should we trust to be king sounds hard to figure out, but that doesn’t mean we should settle for democracy.”

> Not actively engaging is as dangerous as letting a specific group decide.

Having the government decide what people are and are not allowed to say sounds a lot more dangerous to me. That’s how you end up with an official state religion and all other beliefs are outlawed, or you you end up with not being allowed to talk about being gay in public without fear of being stoned to death.
I see! This would be the standard server side / pre-rendered approach. I somehow thought you did a client side solution w/o JS.
Ok, that makes sense! I guess I just assumed that US wiring would typically be rated for higher currents to compensate for the less efficient transmission.

It didn't occur to me that Americans would settle for having less power than the rest of the world, it seems uncharacteristic somehow :)
The difference between the connotations of the word “legacy” in general and inside the tech industry is worth a ponder.

Fundamentally, legacy is something left to us by someone else. On its own it’s neutral: if it is a result of someone’s effort, legacy is usually good; if it is a result of someone’s mismanagement, legacy is bad.

Curiously enough, in tech the mere state of being left by someone always implies something undesirable, obsolete, to be replaced. No matter how hard someone worked on it, where there’s legacy there is a tinge of exasperation. The state of being legacy is more or less an opposite to being current; a piece of software cannot be both.
U2F is so infrequently used on public sites compared to SMS and TOTP. Of the things I use regularly, that arn't for work, that have a 2FA option - I think two (Google, and my password manager) supports U2F.

For either of those methods, stealing two SMS/TOTP codes isn't that much harder than stealing the first one - you just display a fake error saying that it failed, and try again.

For all but the most attentive folks - getting a "Whoops, try again" error when authenticating is probably going to be a semi-regular occurrence anyhow, so adding a fake one in there probably won't trigger any mental alarms.
Can confirm this. I can't have music if the problem requires a mental dialog, but it's helpful for rote or visual tasks.

(Also happy hardcore makes a passable coffee substitute/addition.)
The Whale Who Will Come Soon
Can you point me out to those non-conservatives, I would like to compare them with the ones I've seen demonetized on the right.
This could easily be established with some examples showing these "accidents" are spread equally across the political spectrum?
Ask HN: How do you separate your personal things on a company machine?
Even if it isn't strictly prohibited to use it for other purposes, I try to stick to that rule that company machine is for company work. But it's also nice to have access to my personal mailbox, password manager, rss reader, personal machines, etc. on my company laptop.

For now, I have an encrypted disk volume (so everything is in one place and it's easy to remove from the machine) and a separate browser profile with an SSH tunnel as SOCKS proxy, but maybe using one of my personal machines via some remote desktop solution would be the cleanest solution to this.

I guess it could also depend on how severely restricted and monitored said company machine is.
Guilt by Association
Why would they? It's a separate company.
Anybody has an English (or French) resource detailing its contents?
I've always talked to various (mostly dead) people in my head, or sometimes out loud. For instance on everything related to music I very often talk with J.S. Bach (a good approximation for God in this case). I also almost always have long dialogues with authors of the books I'm reading. These days I'm reading Ibn Khaldun, therefore I sometimes speak with him about the world, or Islam (of which he was a true "doctor"), or politics, etc.

However usually imagining a telepathic communication of some sort is enough. I rarely need to imagine them as actually present in the room if ever, unless it's to "show them" something in particular.
In Turkey you can get residency with investing in real estate.
Not sure if there is a minimum investment required but doubt it.

Does not give you the right to work though.
Basic carbs mainly oats, rice or potatoes etc. Lean meat mainly chicken or fish. Lots of green veg, often steamed, a salad etc. Fats are from things such as nuts, avocados, eggs etc not cooking oils. Maybe a banana or odd piece of fruit but generally lots of veg and greens over fruit to avoid sugar. Avoid dairy as calorie dense.

Carbs will be reduced compared to non cutting but still consumed regardless. Normally it’s carbs that get manipulated, lowering them slightly or increase slightly depending on if cutting or bulking.

It’s simple and unglamorous and that’s likely why most people don’t eat like that as it’s simple or as people will say bland and boring. Even if you mix it up with spices and how you cook/prepare it, it’s the same basic core meal.

If you are not bodybuilding and only interested in loosing fat you can likely reduce the amount of protein (meat). You then end up close to a “whole food” diet I see people talk about these days minus the oils and sauces which are calorie dense.
Twitter and Facebook have privatized the public square. If you're denied from them your speech is nowhere near on a level playing field with everyone else. This gives them immense political power.

Regardless of what you think about how they're using that power now, it's naive to think that they will shy from abusing it.
It does matter. The nice feeling of being one of many is a feature of echo chambers. If you can create that artificially for anything with a push of a button, it's a powerful tool to edit discourse or radicalize people.

Have a look at Russias interference in the previous US election. This is what they did, but manually. To be able to scale and automate it is huge.
I wish Amazon would implement filter-by-warranty-length.
But the very fact of YouTube's existence ensures that sincere and effective political commentators do not need their speech to be 'well-funded' for it to be easily accessed by millions of people. And the aspects of political speech that do involve significant donor funds like paid TV slots are overwhelmingly not dependent on or supported to any significant extent by YouTube channel revenues.

Sure, demonetization makes YouTube political commentary an unprofitable business model which is unfortunate for people who would like to earn a living from it, but free speech isn't about Google's advertisers owing anybody a living, and if people are only willing to express a particular view for click revenue then that political position has much bigger problems than Google,...
That is going to hurt people who work at large corporations, who try to do good job and who have unusual work patterns.

Now the moment your usage patterns don't conform you are going to get flagged and potentially punished for it.
Certainly that's true (although when I got an induction stove i only had to replace one pan - they've been widespread for long enough now that all the cookware I bought in the last decade is compatible, as are all my ancient cast iron pans).

It's worth understanding though - at least in the UK the received wisdom is that "kettle is fastest" - but that's not always true any more.
I'm not saying it's bad or non existent. Just that prevalence varies from culture to culture possiby due to suppression/encouragement but possibly due to other factors as well? Maybe suburban life has something to do with it? Or high mobility?

In polish article I found a statement that nearly a third of kids have imaginary friends at some point.
That is very interesting conclusion.

I would disagree a bit on that qanon is exactly the same as religion. Qanon feels like a leaderless cult that is morphing into most extreme (thus most outlandish) claims and believes.

But I don't think there is any solid core tenet at heat there.

Modern religions are always focused at afterlife and the provide you with a way to get there.

Qanon is more a way for morons to feel smart. They create a world where they are the smart one and everyone else is a looser. This feels like a coping mechanism to me.

Maybe it could grow into a religion or a cult but i don't think it is as of now.
The Fediverse is better than regular social media
Can Google fix the news industry it helped break?
Lol, does the airport ToS say that you need to exit within?
Also by eating too much, and too much sugar. 2/3 of them are overweight.
12-14% of people are diabetic. That's crazy!
I imagine recreating the model will be computationally cheaper because they will not have to sift through the same huge hyperparameter space as the initial GPT-3 team had to.
They would arrest him anyway or do you think he wasn't being watched by the Russian FSB?

He wanted as much attention as possible. He can't do anything from Germany and neither from hiding somewhere in Russia. So this was his best shot right now.
You are right. You still have to read critically or find trusted sources, of course.
Thank you! I was concerned I'd have to install Snap on my Debian server.
Here it is with scrolling:

Just read the box. They all say "this is not a respirator, does not protect against airborne bacteria" (this is paraphrased, since I have just seen my local products).

Even my local national health institute says that masks only protect against droplets from coughing, sneezing, or talking when in close proximity. Which I can grant you, but normal people shouldn't be coughing or sneezing into other peoples faces anyway. Which only leaves talking, but I don't see why grocery store is a place to socialize anyway.

IMO masks are only a thing because helpless people had the need to "do something" and masks are visible way of showing you are doing your part. Plus it didn't help that right wing nut jobs started a war against masks.
In other news, the entire Universe is a nature park according to the town council of Nowhere, Wyoming.

Just kidding. But what's the point of legislating things beyond our control?
Similarly for safety gear, like bicycle helmets, I care very little about the aesthetics compared to how it actually fares in an accident. However, very few people will be in this situation, so it is almost impossible to find these most important reviews.
In science, some amazing discoveries are made years or even centuries before some practical applications for them are found. I believe in humanity, sooner or later we'll find some actually useful applications for GPT-X.
Which was itself (very loosely) based on the real-life story of the guy who lived in Charles de Gaulle airport for many years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri

I saw him there once in 2005.
Perhaps there's a conflict of interest in concluding that a largely sensationalist media may be a contributing factor.
Airport security theatre apparently completely collapsed into a bizzaro world where wet streets cause rain and actors behave like they are on strong drugs.

So, we are talking about the area you are in after a flight, yes? Remind me, BBC, why is that a "secure" area? In case people smuggle bombs/weapons on a flight, just do nothing on the flight and than harm people afterwards?! I get that you want the are to be a one-lane-road to the outside, so nobody boards a plane that way. But how is a random passenger who is supposed to be there a danger? Do passengers spoil, like idk, milk, and become dangerous after a certain date? Why and how would anyone detect a passenger overstaying in the post-flight area? Who cares? That is the world most dumb threat model? Why is this a felony? This is the most victimless "crime" I have ever seen. Did the private prison called with a need for more slave labour, or why is this guy in court and not therapy?

"Based upon the need for airports to be absolutely secure so that people feel safe to travel [...]" - you mean the need to implement wide-net surveillance and a massive military under the veil of an imaginary terrorist threat?

Also, why the fuck is the full name and age of this obviously unwell guy printed? So that I can imagine that he is brown based on the last name? This disgusting practice adds zero journalistic value and ensures that this three-month mental health episode will now harm him for the rest of his life.

This is disgusting journalism, disgusting framing and disgusting behaviour from all officials mentioned. It reads like someone badly satirizing Reagan-propaganda. Disgusting.
This link https://www.nextinpact.com/article/45417/plateformes-et-mote... gives a bit more insight into this "rush" to transcribe a possible future EU law into national law.

It looks like the French government want to leverage the Trump/conservatives global de-platforming to push for new regulation on the US web super giants.

Interestingly, both French ministers (economy and digital) severely condemned the "unilateral" and "oligarchic" decision to de-platform Tump and conservatives. Pointing the lack of "judiciary or democratic supervision".

I think it is a smart move, Europe should clearly push for a sovereign alternative for these global-scale utility-like medium of communication. There is too much at stake.
I've only checked out mastodon (which is supposedly part of fediverse) but it looks like a slower version of Twitter with a tiny fraction of Twitter's userbase - most of it already doubleposting on Twitter anyway. And most sites with it i've seen look like they want to sell me some service and feel faceless and soulless. I've considered at some point setting up my own instance for my own use since from what i can understand you can configure to 'fetch' messages from other instances, but (at least at the time) the system requirements for what is essentially passing around tiny snippets of text are so high that it is ridiculous. Then i thought perhaps a desktop client would provide the same functionality but the joinmastodon site has a bunch of them without any information about what they are, who makes them, if they're safe or whatever and the sites of a couple that i checked are again that "faceless, souless, perhaps trying to sell you something or sell your data to someone" variety.

So i lost interest.
Its also why in tv shows made in the USA/Canada they always show stove top kettles with the whistle one.

Always make me think of my Grans council house in Birmingham (UK) and her kettle.
I can do mental rotation quite okay, but it's not really visual. It's kinda in the back of my mind, colorless, faded, greyish etc. but I'm aware of the shape "outline", well not really the outline but just aware of the shape, without actually seeing it. As if you were in a dark room and were feeling out the objects by touch in part (but I am aware of the whole 2d projection at once, unlike touch). I can only really visualize things while drifting to sleep. If people can do that level while awake, that must be awesome.

But I do wonder how much of it is about different uses of words by different people. I do have an internal monologue when I want to build sentences, eg crafting a sentence for writing or just imagining talking to someone and trying to convince them as if practicing arguments for a debate (though decidedly not hallucinating someone to talk to). Or when trying to serialize so explicit steps I need to do, I may list them verbally in my mind.

I may call this a conversation with an entity, but actually I feel I'm just talking to myself. I identify with the speaker. I guess, and I'm trying now, I can sort of feel as if the stream of sentences is coming from a different entity.

It might be that we have very similar (though not equal) experiences we just use different terms and stories to make sense of them.

There's a book that argues that Ancient Greeks in the time of Homer also believed their gods talked to them and it might have been something like this. And that the idea of an individual free-will autonomous singular human is a relatively modern cultural concept.
NHTSA issues final rule to modernize autonomous vehicle safety standards
I find it weird that this statement came from the judge, while the representative(s) of the airport disagreed:

"While this incident remains under investigation, we have been able to determine that this gentleman did not pose a security risk to the airport or to the travelling public."

But maybe this is just the airport trying to cover itself from litigation, not so much trying to make an honest statement.

I guess the point here is that the judge needs to argue that the person was a (potential) danger in order to persecute or indict the airport in court?
It’s the server side
IMHO Teams isn't as good as they make out. Firstly, you have the constant stream of 'Are you there?' popups which kick you out of calls, alongside the blocking modals which stop you from editing documents. Moreover, the UI is a slow mess.

I guess the most attractive point for employers is that this is free for 0365 consumers, but O365 isn't that good either IMHO.
Holy shit this is the most privileged mindset.

Do you know people who aren't coders?

You know we live and work in some sort of dream land and 99% of people in other jobs don't have anywhere near this level of freedom and bargaining power.

You will sell yourself short by forgetting this. Coding isn't guaranteed to stay like this - as tooling gets better and better and more people get into it we will be seen less and less like wizards.
>we need to actively figure it out.

No we don't.
Looking at his public statements about women I think it's clear he is a misogynist but mainly in his personal dealings. It's not really a feature of his politics.

As for racism I think the Muslim Ban was a case of explicitly racist policy. I know the Supreme Court disagreed, but frankly they are wrong on this.
Apparently you don't need to be a large company to train GPT-3. EleutherAI is using free GPU from CoreWeave, the largest North American GPU miner, who agreed to this deal to get the final model open sourced and have their name on it. They are also looking at offering it as an API.
It doesn't seem like a good idea.

When you are lonely and sad, conjuring up entities could probably lock-you up in a mental hellish prison of bad thought cycles, where lack of imagination feeds into itself.

Imagination is a very powerful tool that is very under-utilized in our modern western societies. There would be a lot to gain by teaching the basics, providing some guidance and a safe-environment to let it run.

Once you have enough imagination so that your mental world feeds itself plenty of interesting novelties, you probably haven't time to be lonely anymore.

Growing an interesting mental world, probably benefits a lot from experiences in the real world from other real people and an escape from reality probably isn't the solution.

Specifically confronting reality is a great way to discover holes in your mental models.
Brave New World has a amazing ending that really pushed me on the fence whether the world of BNW is good or bad.

I had few discussions of it and I still to this day, can't decide. It is definitely must read book, and its a good read too. Not a borish slog that puts you to sleep.
What about some kind of sharding, parts of the computation that could be executed in isolation for a longer period of time?
Ask HN: What activities would you continue doing if you were the last human?
Which of your current activities would you still do if you were the last human to ever exist?

(Disclosure: I hope this doesn't sound too weird, I am not depressed or anything, just genuinely curious about this. Also I am no native speaker, please forgive me. Still posting with throwaway because I feel weird.)

I am in a weird place where I don't really know what to do with my life and I am trying to find out "who I really am" and what truly fulfills me.

So I started thinking a lot, and trying to answer questions like: Everything I do, who do i do it for? Do i do it for me, or for someone else? If I don't do it for me, shouldn't I spend my time with something else, something that makes _me_ happy? (And I am not talking about relationships here, obviously I will be there for family and friends. I am talking about the time I am free to spend on whatever I want, like job and free time).

At first I was pretty convinced that most of the things I do are 100% for me, to make me happy.
Examples:

- My job as an SW engineer: nice salary, bright future, very sought-after, personal interest, can use my creativity and so on. All positives things.

- Or one of my biggest hobbies, besides IT: Acrobatics and exercising in general. It's fun, it's healthy, it's cool, I look better and can see my progress week after week.

BUT THEN I asked myself: would I still do these things if I were completely alone? If I were the last human to ever exist?

I most certainly would not continue to program. What would be the use?
And then for sports: I might actually continue with this a little bit, but mostly because I wouldn't know what else to do with my life. And it certainly would not be fulfilling doing this by myself.

This bothers me. I now feel like I am living a very superficial life. And I am wondering, how do you feel about this? What things are fulfilling you, do you life your life for you, or for others?
