Wait, how does that make any sense?

I thought DALL-E's language model was tokenized, so it doesn't understand that eg "car" is made up of the letters 'c', 'a' and 'r'.

So how could the generated pictures contain letters that form words that are tokenized into DALL-E's internal "language"? Shouldn't we expect that feeding those words to the model would give the same result as feeding it random invented words?

Actually, now that I think about it, how does DALL-E react when given words made of completely random letters?
I have an iPad with a keyboard case that I use every day

80% of the time it sits under my monitor with Things app to-do list and upcoming meetings linked to my work calendar so I can add stuff to it that people bring up during calls

Other times I have Obsidian open during a meeting and am typing notes. It is also pretty useful when you don't want to drag a laptop over to the couch and just browse.

Apple's Universal Control with iPads is another use case that I haven't been able to use at work but with my personal computer it's great: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212757

Who thinks that? But solar panels can convert north of 20% of incident light to usable power. The most efficient known plant chemistry can convert 4% of incident light to sugar, the principal constituent of cellulose. Most plants are at 2%. But of course we have needs for such output not satisfied by electric current.

Could you elaborate on this? Which defaults do you consider insecure? Are there ways to trivially change some values for more security?

Not pushing back on your statement, just curious to know more about it.
The "Great Resignation" name is fearmongering, meant to make people think something bad is happening. Unemployment is at rock bottom; people aren't quitting, they are moving to new jobs. That is just the free market at work. Yet for some reason the "free market ooh rah" people seem the most upset about it.
Where is this mystical world you describe? Are you tenured/tenure track faculty at a major university?

I have a wide range for friends all from top tier universities, none of them had the experience you're describing. Today coming from a top tier program at a place like Harvard, MIT, Cornell or Yale means you have a shot at landing a tenure gig at a mid to top tier university, but it sill requires a long run of post-doc wandering. The environments are still toxic, and the majority still end up fleeing to other careers to make a living.
It's the deviation from the norm that's a potential warning sign. You'd know the cool bodega might be in trouble, with a lame new owner or something, if the sign got fixed or a bunch of painting was done...
I'm a paying user of Fork, it's my favorite Git GUI, I love it.

However, it "only" supports macOS and Windows. I'm migrating to Linux for my work and home computers, so I haven't used Fork in a while, just so I can get familiar with other tools available on Linux - and, importantly, learning to do more advanced Git operations in the terminal.

So far I still depend on a GUI, mainly VS Code's built-in Git integration and the GitGraph extension. (One of the advantages of this setup is that it also works for remote SSH editing.)

https://github.com/mhutchie/vscode-git-graph

Also looking at GitLens: https://www.gitkraken.com/gitlens

..But I sure miss using Fork. I used it everyday for the last couple years. It does everything I want to do with Git, the UI is familiar and well-designed. I whole-heartedly recommend it.

I see the main developer @DanPristupov is on HN, maybe he'd consider supporting Linux? I totally understand if you won't, since creating the same application for two OSes must be quite difficult already, especially for a small team rather than a company.
Nice! Glad to be of assistance :)
The mentality isn't the problem, the budget is. Assembly-line is a cost saving strategy, not a pedagogical strategy.

Most good ideas in education are ruined upon deployment because they cost more than sociey is willing to spend (on average), except for the few who have wealthy private patrons (parents or "scholarship aid" / "gifted" programs). And most bad-looking ideas are attempts to make the best of the limited budget, or good ideas were ruined by lack of budget. "Individualized instruction" is the current one -- we can't afford good individualized instruction, so everyone hates the bad individualized instruction we get.

Gifted kids especially, have complex talents that don't always fit inside a software program in a 2-D screen.

Technology can be cost effective, but that's not the same as giving best results.
Thanks! I actually took three OffSec courses last year. The first one I did was the OSWP (wifi) as a sort of warm up because it's the easiest course they offer and I knew I could knock that out pretty quick. Then I took the OSEP course which was a ton of content. Finally I took the OSED which was another ton of content and the most technical of those three. My work gave me 40 hours of in-office time to last year for training. I can't recall if I used that 40 hours for the OSEP or OSED, but I know I used it for one of those two. However, I still put in a ton of hours on my own time too. It's just a lot of content to go through. 40 hours isn't enough time for either of those courses in my opinion. Having no children (and an understanding spouse) made it easier for me to dedicate a lot of personal time on the training. I love OffSec's stuff though and recommend it to anyone who is into offensive security and wants practical training.
These are all great questions - so far we've worked with accredited investors to place $100K+ solar facilities while we've built our product. They are basically beta testers while de get out design, software, payments integrations, etc going.

We answered those questions for accredited, for everyday retail investors it will depend on the solar facility we select and the financial structuring design.
Often I use cal to find the previous or next month. I never understood why two parameters it assumes `cal mm yyyy` but when one parameter is provided assumes `cal yyyy` instead of `cal mm`.

ie, I just want to see April of this year: but `cal 4` returns Jan-Dec 0004 CE <!>

`cal -3` is perfect!
This works well. I've seen deployments where you have test1, 2, 3 etc, and you can "lock" the environment to yourself for a few hours.
it's enough to buy 1 album per month. of course it s not the same, but i don't like to listen to every cd ever. The rare times i really wanted to hear something i could pirate it. I still enjoy radio streams for the low mental overhead though, plus u get the news too
Of course it's not any different. But the focus has changed. When you're an early stage startup, a 0.7% overhead for junk food (made up number, but that's probably not too far off) is a fundamentally negligible thing. It's like 3 days of runway, if that.

Basically: who cares, the company will live or die based on products and funding rounds, and you're just trying to make the company not die at this stage.

But to an established company trying to make money, 0.7% of revenue is a huge (seriously, huge) line item in a CFO's accomplishment list. Consistent profitability is built on a long, grueling ladder of tiny incremental bean-countings. And to an established company trying to make money, that's where the focus turns. And those are the employees who get rewarded.

It's not that either side is "right", it's that they have opposing priorities and that growing companies need to manage that tension and not just give in to the temptation to lock the soda machine.

Some engineer (I forget if it was an Apple engineer or a Handspring engineer) once remarked that Graffiti was a much smarter way to do handwriting recognition than Newton, because: "If the Palm Pilot made a mistake, people blamed themselves for not writing Graffiti correctly. If Newton made a mistake, people blamed Apple."
It's all about which cable you get. Or, more specifically, the chip inside the cable.

The majority of cheap cables use a super low-cost chip that ruins data at higher baud rates.

If you get a quality cable with a known good chip in it, then you can transmit at crazy speeds.

My TRS-80 is supposed to max out at 300 baud. But I can go to 600 baud with a crap cable, or 57,600 with a good cable.

We hope to eventually operate a secondary market where you could do this. Depends on a few regulatory factors we are still considering. Definitely a priority.
> They jacked up tuitions and caused an entire generation of people to carry lifetime of crippling debt.

Please dig deeper if you care about this issue. My wife works at a state school and by far the overwhelming factor on rising tuition has been the systematic defunding of state schools since the 1980's. Our state university currently receives about 20% of what it once did from the state 40 years ago.
Universal analog chips are cool, but extremely expensive, and their analog performance is moderate.

- Their analog performance is enough for simple hobbyists projects, but for commercial, need something with much more precision - 18 bit or more.

That's what differ analog computers from digital - in analog easy achievable ~ 10-12 bits, but more are expensive;

in digital, could trade precision for speed - for example calculate 64 bit on 32 bit hardware, which is at least 4 times slower (in ideal cases, in real more than 4x difference), but double precision worth it.

Even more, in digital world, could calculate 32bit or even 64bit on 8bit hardware (really used in microcontroller world), which is extremely slow, but for many cases is fast enough.
NoSQL might not be the right term here. Maybe you mean "columnar databases"?

Well, I'd hope affected users could submit (reasonably anomymized versions) of what they got to HN in the future, so we can stop speculating.
Well that's a cop-out. Homeschooling is an option for many of us. Furthermore, the global market for an individual, first-world teacher, online is currently about $20/hr. There is a vast array of resources available immediately at no charge. It has never been easier to seek external instruction. Gamification of learning has created kids with sophisticated understanding of space, time, networks, etc. free of human teachers. The trend is clear. We can push further.
Sadly, 2FA won't help against malicious developer or a developer selling package to a malicious owner.

Maybe ther should be a paid service that would manually review packages and provide a curated repository? I can't see other solutions. Either you review the code or you pay someone to do it or you isolate every library into a sandbox.
I'm also an academic, if that matters for some reason, and I think it doesn't matter how many people didn't understand something. They must have been confusing themselves by seeking answers in the wrong direction. What matters is that the resolution I've given truly is simple. You have a 1/3 chance of being in a situation where changing doors is unfavorable, you have a 2/3 chance of being in a situation where changing doors is favorable. If you picked the door with the car, which happens with 1/3 probability, at the next stage switching is a bad option. If you picked a door with the goat, which happens with 2/3 probability, at the next stage switching is a good option. This is objectively simple, regardless of what a large number of people might think.

I also don't think changing the problem to an analogous one is as helpful as this direct and simple solution. Using 100 doors could mean multiple things. Maybe it means at the next stage you have 99 doors left. Maybe it means at the next stage you have 2 doors left. Why should I think either is the correct analog? You can just see the simple answer I've stated and be done with it.
This is high on our minds, as well. Particularly as we add dozens or hundreds of facilities, an important question will be how the investor chooses (they will likely all have similar economics).

For our first offerings, we will likely purchase existing facilities or contribute financing to new ones. Over time, we hope to select facilities where our member's additive benefit is more clear.
You can run it as a web server! It's just not as commonly done right now since I haven't put much time into integration with cloud providers (stuff like CloudFormation templates I mean) and I don't yet have a public Docker image that is up to date.

I see, your argument is that like (for instance) LendingClub, the economies of scale always favor large investors, and that this platform simply cannot get large investors onboard. That may be due to a lack of connections, or due to some other potential fundamental issues with the business model. At the end of the day if the business is sound it makes more sense to target fewer large investors - not many, smaller ones. If this model makes sense, it would probably just pivot like LendingClub and cut off access for small investors. And if not, small investors will be holding bag.

I buy that.
Seems like early Roombas did, and then the chinese clones borrowed the idea.
You are wrong. Had it been that simple I would __not__ have suggested that and for whatever reason I find your reply borderline infuriating but I can't pinpoint exactly why that is.

Regardless, here is me, a native speaker, disproving your hypothesis.

I tried the following words in google translate elefantas ailaifantas ailaiphantas elaiphandas elaiphandac.

The suggested detections are ελέφαντας, αιλαιφάντας, αιλαιφάντας, ελαϊφάντας, ελαϊφάντας, however, the translations are elephant, illuminated, illuminated, elephant, elephant respectively. The first is correct. When mapping the roman characters back to greek, there is loss of information, this is seen in the umlaut above iota which makes the pronunciation from ε [e] - like to αϊ [ai̯], and the emphasis denoted via the mark above epsilon (έ).

Notice that all all the words have an edit distance of >=4, a soundex distance of at most 1, and a metaphone distance of at most 1 [1]. The suggested words as I said above are near homophones of the correct word bar a few minor details.

> And, candidly, as a lawyer, this is part of why I love arbitration. It's a lot less formal. It's more about just getting to the right result without all the unnecessary pomp and circumstance.

Sure, arbitration is fine -- give two parties more options to come to an agreement. But mandatory binding arbitration that explicitly contractually removes any way to resort to a full court? That's what I think is wrong.

If two parties don't come to an agreement in arbitration then they should always have the option to go to full court and incur the costs and headaches of doing so. Having that option would, I think, make arbitration far more desirable than it currently is.
(edit: sorry, I misread your comment earlier)

> That example sounds to me a lot like a university taking on things they shouldn’t need to do, but have to because there’s nothing else to take them on.

"should" is pretty load-bearing there, but yeah, that could be. People know that mental health is a particular issue for college students[1]. In the absence of anything else providing these services, it's not surprising that informed consumers would look to colleges to do what they can, and competitive pressure would result in most colleges growing their offerings in this area.

> I wonder how many counselors they have and how short wait times for appointments are in European countries where higher education costs either nothing or a small amount compared to median incomes

It's a good question. In interpreting the answer, one would presumably want to know how the general level of access to mental health services compares between the United States and those countries.
That is already legal in Canada, there's an exemption in the CDSA. Public health labs run testing programs in several cities. Unfortunately it is not very widely known.

It is deeply unfortunate that a business model stands between open source software and serving the urgent needs of its users. A chat platform should provide E2EE as a matter of course.

I of course have no right to demand work from software developers, regardless of the openness of their code base. It's just, that's really too bad.

You could argue they shouldn't, that we'd rather they be affordable and not have aquatic centers, but that's a different debate.

That is my argument. Society is a whole is spending more and more on education but not getting more education in the deal. We’re getting more aquatic complexes and climbing walls and sports stadiums. None of these things help society achieve higher levels of education. They merely allow one school to lure students away from another: zero sum.
It's a fun idea, but I found it super frustrating because it gets harder and harder to come up with consistent words.

I'd personally like an "easy setting" where there's another key color that indicates if a letter is viable. So when there are only say 10 possible words left it'd highlight the letter the word could start with. Maybe it's just me though.
Honestly, I don't think this would be such a problem if the job wasn't getting so grim. It's HR 101 that salaries help with recruitment but are less important for retention and that a cash raise can't substitute for a poor working environment. Even with the 20% salary cuts of the last decade I don't think they'd have much trouble obtaining enough staff (outside London) if people felt respected.
That house is 3,300 sq feet, with a basement, built in 1980 for only $300k. It is also only 22min from Kansas City airport and 40min from Kansas City.

I imagine rural sheds can be found for much less than $500k.
This doesn't apply to the stock market because the stock market is the alternate investment for retail investors.

But this does apply to most investments. Most investments that are looking for retail investors are scams. If they delivered ROIs better than or as good as the S&P they'd attract large sophisticated investors.
Thanks @ojiwan! Yeah, that's precisely what the paid offering on the VideoMentions.com homepage is. It currently emails the user once for each matching video, but in the future, I could certainly add support for grouping them and sending weekly digests, like you're describing.

> If GPT-6 was only larger, it would still only know the things in its training set, whereas a human can take arbitrary time to think, can go out and perform experiments, can Google/GPT things themselves, etc.

A GPT model already has many ways of thinking and self-distilling; for example, it can give itself a lot more time to think using 'inner monologue' techniques, which make it capable of calculating out step by step, using external tools like Python etc: https://www.gwern.net/docs/ai/gpt/inner-monologue/index A GPT model can also already Google things, see WebGPT https://openai.com/blog/webgpt/ (itself merely one entry in a rapidly-expanding area of retrieval models https://www.gwern.net/docs/ai/retrieval/index ). Enabling them to use web tools is likewise an active and increasingly successful area of research https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.08137#deepmind , with startups forming for that purpose: https://www.adept.ai/post/introducing-adept It can't 'run experiments', but the setting of reinforcement learning would allow that, and Decision Transformer (literally just a GPT trained on RL data and then given a prompt) is one of the more exciting directions - you may have seen Gato https://www.deepmind.com/publications/a-generalist-agent but have you also seen Multi-Game Transformer https://sites.google.com/view/multi-game-transformers ? Oh, that's just a single agent and you're not worried? Well that's fine because DT is so general it's almost trivial to make it do multi-agent RL as well https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.02845 https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14953

Things are moving fast, and few people know all of the things that a GPT can do. (By the way, did you know that this 'big blob of inanimate knowledge' also knows what it doesn't know and can give well-calibrated predictions of accuracy https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14334 ?)
