I don't read it as "passwords are insecure" but as having defaults that force people into using it in ways that are harder to mess up.

Re-using an insecure password is easy, using a key wrong is harder.
The space-station themed Fry’s store near Houston, TX recently closed. I only ever visited it in the twilight years where there was so little inventory in such a large footprint that it seemed like a front for something. The architecture and decor was definitely imaginative.
The title may be misleading. It seems to be based on this quote

> InstructGPT is then further fine-tuned on a dataset labeled by human labelers. The labelers comprise a team of about 40 contractors whom we hired through Upwork and ScaleAI.

It sounds like run of the mill supervised training data creation. Not pre-canning responses as the title may suggest.
True that! It was eye opening once I understood that! Here's a basic type system I made in Python for a small smart contract language compiler I'm working on. It works with mypy pretty flawlessly!

We are kind of left with a big hole where the only player in game is chrome and their derivatives.

Librewolf or Brave?

Brave must be worth closer to a trillion $?
I disagree with this. Being able to read and understand the math in the paper of the algorithm you are implementing is useful, and calculus is common in ML papers.

You may have some short term success without understanding the algorithms at all, but as the field changes and you are no longer in school, being able to keep up at least somewhat with papers is very useful.

I agree that the day to day is mostly about formatting data though!

The founder pitched a great idea at the start – help consumers who don't know what kinds of common drugs to buy at the store, but then immediately pivoted to selling the service to doctors and medical practices. They should have realized that the second one would be impossible to break into.

> But then I look at WebMD’s 10-Qs and start to spiral. Turns out the world’s biggest health website makes about $0.50/year per user. That is…not enough money to bootstrap GlacierMD. I’m pouring money into my rent, into my Egyptian contractors, into AWS—I need some cash soon.

The take away here should have been not to pivot entirely, but raise money. You are in Silicon Valley! This is literally why this entire ecosystem exists. Sometimes bootstrapping can be beneficial, but when you have spent $40K of your money, have a good enough prototype with a clear story, and are going up against giant established competitors, forget customers for a while and sell to VCs instead.

If you are really sure that the service adds value for doctors, give it to them for free for a year and prove it. Open up your service for users without worrying about AWS bills or ad revenue. A boatload of money in the bank makes all of this trivial.
That assumes the AP classes would have boosted your GPA. If the harder class knocked you from an A to a B then it would have been a net negative, at least at my high school (AP counted as a 1.2 weighting, so an A in a regular class is 4.0 and a B in an AP class is 3.0 * 1.2 = 3.6).
It helps to know that it was named for Leonhart Fuchs. Just remember it is Fuchs-ia.
Lately I have been using the metaphor of "keeping the temperature low" at work to describe how I am approaching my work.

You see, in the past, I would work on all cylinders constantly worried about how I was performing and trying to get work done as fast as possible.

I would let the temperature rise and rise until I was boiling over.

And I would get a lot of work done! However:

1. This is unsustainable. It stressed me out and left no slack room for me to take on additional work.

2. It was annoying to work with me because I was constantly stressed out about nothing.

I was judging myself for not working hard enough, while working harder than anyone else around me. And what comes naturally from judging yourself is judging others. And it was a viscous cycle.

Any more my priority is to take regular breaks, meditate, create space for myself to find compassion and love for the people around me, and overall just try and be a positive calming force in the company.

And people love it! I am complemented for my maturity and sensitivity and leadership abilities.

I think what I said holds true about your economic decisions (which the article I’m commenting on is about).

I don’t believe you have to (or even really can) view your entire life through an economic lens. I didn’t mean to imply you are ONLY a company and nothing else.

I did mean the last bit that nobody else is going to make sure you don’t have a bad outcome as applying to life generally.

Anyways, I wouldn't pay for this as I love doing the research myself. Google for the plebs and pubmed and more specialized websites for the patricians is usually good enough.

Massive amounts of human QA is behind every successful ML-based product, including Google search. It’s unclear to me how to think about this in the role that GPT-3 is trying to play… clearly fine tuning and QA are important for production deployment, but they’re touting it as evidence of getting closer to solving AI. Of course those in the know understand this is mostly a giant Chinese dictionary [1], which is most certainly going to need editors.

Half of the reason for the "requirements" list is people telling them about how poor passwords are, and they should try to get people to pick better ones. In WebAuthn: The relying party doesn't get to pick any of the security parameters

The other half is their backend systems not being able to cope with sensible things and so they picked whatever was easier. In WebAuthn, again, the relying party doesn't get to pick any of the security parameters.

Lots of bad practices that happen for passwords don't survive implementation in WebAuthn. It's the same philosophy as to why I preferred writing plain Java over Python - "You can't do that, it doesn't compile" beats, "Oops, the job ran to completion overnight, but the output phase tried to multiply an empty string with an array and so it failed at that point".

For example, hey, users know this is Awesome Site, so, no problem asking for their awesome.example password on our new betteryet.example site, right? You know the Big Boss is going to insist on that. With passwords most users won't notice (which is why they get phished) and if you're the sort of person who does notice now you need to tell your password manager that yeah, this password must be entered on betteryet.example as well as awesome.example. In WebAuthn that can't work. Not "You need some fancy Javascript". Not "Tell the user to press the Destroy Security Please" button, nothing like that, it just can't work. WebAuthn knows this is betteryet.example so, it can only have betteryet.example credentials, there is no backdoor, no override, too bad, if you're really awesome.example you should have people log in to awesome.example.

The big boss can rage and scream and threaten and it won't make any difference, it's just a fact, like that time they were sure nine was more than fourteen and it isn't.

I have done research in financial modeling and indeed have a family-member that manages his own successful hedge fund, so the comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I do consider myself an outsider, though, as I’ve been out of the field for sometime.

Still, if you’ve worked in hedge funds you’ll know two things: connections and luck account for almost everything. What remains are mostly linear models that almost never outperform your basic mutual index funds.

Those very smart people moving billions do get things very wrong, though often at an imbalanced risk to themselves (an imbalance in their favor, mind you), so I don’t put much stock in such sweeping appraisals.
FWIW, that's one reason why I turned away from commercial games and play almost only FOSS games.

Yes, they don't have an income so they are at least 10 years behind on tech and generally have less good assets (textures, shaders, sound) (there are exceptions), yes, the player base is more on the 10,000s at best than on the million (an obvious problem for multiplayer games), but on the bright side their decisions are not tainted by profitability or business model considerations.

The model that the parent is positing is that we are all totally independent actors competing in a labour market and our primary goal should be to optimise our behaviour in said market.

While that's an accurate description of neoliberal economics, I'm arguing that it's neither natural, nor necessarily productive, nor conducive to human wellbeing to mould one's behaviour to fit that system. Or to be more concrete: you're wasting your life studying the labour market for opportunities, learning new disciplines to increase your wage, reading through employment contracts looking for advantages (obviously you should check for big fuck-you statements in contracts, just for self-protection). Not only is the market irrational, such that behaviour based on a rational model of the market is a poor guarantee of positive outcomes, but that living such a life based on market rationality is pretty immiserating and misaligned with what actually makes people happy.
I would argue exactly otherwise... with the advent of the web platform and frameworks like .net, the vast majority (and I mean like 95%) of developers will never touch anything ML related in their careers. I mean, I get that this is MIT and many of their students will end up working with ML, but applying that globally to CS is nonsense. Back when I was studying CS (cze) more than a decade ago, we had to pass linear algebra, graph theory and calculus, but honestly, that was like in the first year and a half and then it completely tapered off (later years were all about projects, algorithmization, i.e. "doing the work" and very little about hardcore theory) and guess what, I never needed it again. A bit of statistics and some graph theory here and there, but that's about it.

Contrary to popular belief, there are NOT that many ML jobs out there and the ones that are there are more about data science and messing with model zoo type of shit than actually coding useful programs. Most programmers will be lucky if they get to integrate inference of a prepared model into the apps they work on.

>woman led

Why the pointless gendering? All genders are capable of leading action, including women, men, and non-binary.
For anecdotal/lived experience, to your point:

The rich kids in my (public) school were the ones afforded not only tutors, but also just the insight into extra-curriculars. They were the ones who had parents who knew to sign them up for college courses at ~15-16 years old to ensure they could maximize their GPA (5.0 scale, so getting a 5.0 was literally impossible unless you did this). This created a competitive disadvantage for kids who just really didn't realize these resources existed (plus, having parents that would support it + take you to the local college to take additional courses).

Not to mention that, but there were sports our school didn't participate in, but the richer kids had levels of access to that looked great on college applications - rowing and lacrosse specifically come to mind.

So, essentially - rich kids have many easier ways to pad their college applications. It's not that they aren't working hard(er) - they are. But they have easily acccessible opportunities that middle-to-lower-class students (like myself) did not have access to.

--

Coming to the SAT, I'm not surprised by that study. I wasn't afforded the same opportunities as these richer kids, but my SAT score was highly competitive with them. I was ranked 50th in my class with a 4.55 GPA (my 4.0s were gym each year, and I think one or two electives that weren't AP), but my SAT score was a 2300, which was relatively similar to most of the hyper-performant, wealthier kids.

--

This is all super anecdotal. I was definitely upset by all of this at the time - but it didn't affect my life very negatively. I still was able to get into a great school, and have a great career now. But these disadvantages certainly persist against others, and re-adding standardized tests likely will help level the playing field in my mind.

Thank you! With the URL, we need to add that! You can start searches via URL (with /?q= or /?query=), but we need to make it easy to share and it's totally hidden currently and not discoverable at all :)

One cool thing: if you want to, you can avoid your searches going through browser history by keeping them within the search session. A few of our early user community use Andi as a standalone PWA (Settings > Install for chrome-based browsers. Or the browser address bar Install button. If it's running in a standalone window it acts a little like a command center and links open in your default browser, but your search session stays separate. That's how I normally use Andi too.

Thank you for the feedback on the search results too! Lots of work to do there - it's broad but shallow at the moment, with a few deeper pools. Over time we're working to improve in more verticals. There are areas like local business, places, food etc that still have to be worked on, not to mention proper internationalization and localization. It is stronger on knowledge and information searching. We hope to keep iterating and improving the results quickly.

>Rich students don't need to game anything. They simply get admitted because their family name is on a building.

The mean parental income for Ivy League students is 170k, which is above middle class, but not Bezos-level rich.

What is considered to be rich is a huge spectrum. The difference between 7 figure rich vs. 9 figure rich..is up to a factor of 1000. Those whose parents can donate enough to be commemorated on a building, is an outlier even for the rich. Unless your parents are dynastically rich, being rich is not that much of an advantage for admissions.
