TWiV was discussing this concept awhile back and mentioned the fact that if someone looked for poliovirus in NYC sewer samples that it would certainly turn up. There's a sort of ethical problem here because if you find it you immediately make a big splash and headlines over something entirely expected and not terribly worrisome. They were leaning towards that you just shouldn't look for it -- it doesn't really add anything to science because virologists who study polio knew it'd be there and everyone else would freak out. Well, now we're there more or less.

This doesn't address the point of the Tweet, you are simply attacking the form of their argument.

Moreover it is possible to BOTH marvel at the human ingenuity that went into making copilot AND disagree with their methods. Some things can be marvelous and wrong at the same time.
The wear issue is real, but for a commuter bike, I'm not sure it's that big a deal. Wipe down and relube the chain every few weeks and the drivetrain will still last thousands of miles or more. Especially if it's a less cutting edge 8/9 speed system, which tend to be way less finicky to wear and tuning than the latest 12 speed stuff (which is awesome, but needs a lot more maintenance). Bearings these days are pretty well sealed and short of submerging the bike, not really a wear item for most users.
I'm not necessarily against that in general, but if it's a technical article for a technical audience, which this looks to be intended as, they really need to drop the marketing jargon.

Would love to see sources on deaths from unregulated weed in Europe. Are we talking the age old boogeyman of laced weed or something else?

Also, exotic strains you the average user has never heard about is a function of a growing market. A proper cannasseur would know where the strains (cultivars) are from - who bred them, what their lineage is, how they were grown, how long they were cured (not fermented), etc.

Completely agree with your point though that out of hundreds of strains that I have tried, nil have a “making sick” property by default. It only arises when users incorrectly scope the risk.

If anyone reading this experiences cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, stuff like fresh air, chewing peppercorns, or a dose of CBD sublingually can help.

Very curious to hear more about the adulterated, unregulated, non coffee shop world over there! Thanks for your comment.

I am one of the people who worked on Google's PaLM model.

Having skimmed the GitHub readme and medium article, this announcement seems to be very focused on the number of parameters and engineering challenges scaling the model, but it does not contain any details about the model, training (learning rate schedules, etc.), or data composition.

It is great that more models are getting released publicly, but I would not get excited about it before some evaluations have been published. Having a lot of parameters should not be a goal in and of itself. For all we know this model is not well trained and worse than Eleuther AI's 20B parameter model, while also being inconveniently large.
Das Kapital is a foundational work that provides an insightful analysis whether or not one agrees with its premises and conclusions.
Agreed with @richiebful1, multiliners are better as standlone funcs, and I'd say (personal opinion) that they'd be better here. I like functional a lot but I don't lambda up unless it's more or less a one-liner or a kind of control structure, where they can get large but that's the point.

I've had to deal with too much shit code where lambdas within lambdas are considered hot.

Added bonus, the names are useful (naming is hard because if you do it right you are adding valuable information).

I'm sure there are cases where doing it your way are better, but I can't think of them.
I never used Zig, but used many other languages, and that looks better than most which don't have line prefix like \\: in languages that don't need it there is confusion about significance of whitespace in the beginning of 2nd+ lines.

Juul arranged to be there, but I find ithard to believe they did anything to explicitly prevent other adults from being in the room. No one at the school had enough common sense to be like "someone should chaperon this" ?

I kind of agree that it was probably entirely inconsequential to the popularity of juul though.

I don't think that hacker news users would find criticism of a 'free-market utopia' a fun read, @PaulHoule. The average user seems to skew libertarian and often used to link or quote Paul Graham, whose solution to everything is encouraging startups. Poor? Go build a startup. Etc.
The book stands on its feet. Why would private butt-hurtedness (is that even a word?) of an author matter? Wasn't Tolkien also butt-hurt by the decline of the British Empire? At least both authors have something in common.

I still find The Last Ringbearer more optimistic than LotR, where even the victory against the biggest evil ever seems just like an ephemeral moment of partial restoration in a long period of inevitable decline of the human race.

The characters in this book are alive, while in LotR there's much more character in mountains than in humans.
The GPL license prohibits building a competitive solution from the licensed software, and 'derivative works' also require the GPL license.

So I think it is relevant here because there's a gray area around whether or not training a model is like linking to a GPL licensed software(not derivative with caveats) or deriving from one.

By the way, Free and Open-source software licenses are not public domain (or 'public-domain-equivalent'), The copyright holder of the software licenses it to whomever, but the holder still retains their copyright.

I always recommend vaping dry herb with vaporizers over smoking because you avoid most of the negative health effects of combustion. Obviously inhaling hot air is probably not good for your throat and tongue.

I don't think it's very good for the lungs either.

And getting it directly from the flower means that I can cut it with high CBD flower depending on what experience I'm looking for.
Smoking flower has a bigger entourage effect than hitting a vape because whatever in the vape is a concentrated, processed version of the flower which has lost some cannabinoid or terpene content in the process.
As a designer, this is absolutely spot on. I’d add that first time users benefit from the map, whereas experienced users might actually prefer the list view of favorites. It sounds like the app designer only tested with first-time users though.
If your caffeine use is interfering with your sleep, then it's adversely affecting your overall health. That's generally a good reason to discontinue or limit use of a substance.

I get it though, we all like our pleasures in life. But some of them aren't good for us, so we have to choose between the short term pleasure of substance use versus the long term pleasure of not just longer life, but higher quality life when we're older.

Another poster in this thread suggested¹ that there must be some degree of collusion with the migrant worker’s home state(s) for this practice to be widespread.

It’s possible that if they try to obtain a new password from their embassy or consul that they’re told they should retrieve their original one from their “employer”. They may have to prove it was lost or stolen by filling out an official police form – which would likely be a criminal offence if done so knowing that the passport was not lost. This is all conjecture: I’m imagining how there could be rules that appear to be fair on the surface but are actually enforced in such a way as to unfairly restrict the human rights/freedom of the worker.

Note that the improvement was on protected bike lanes, which is the key. A dedicated bike path (even if shared with pedestrians) is the kind of thing that gets people who don't ride to try riding.

Painting some lines on the road can help once people are on the bike - we need more dedicated bike lanes and they should be designed to "shortcut" in ways that roads do not.

Even things like "mostly" closing an alley to through car traffic and making it a bike "road" can work - people won't cut through it if cars are blocked from getting to the other end, but they can still use it to access back alley stuff if necessary.

> I haven't tried winter biking yet, and honestly, I'm a bit scared to.

Winter biking can mean a lot of differen things, and no, you do not need to start with trying to bike 20km on a -10c blizzard against the wind. A short trip on a calm, cool day is a surprisingly mundane thing after a try or two. A few notes, though:

- if there are icy patches, you might want to invest in studded tires. They are awesome.

- experiment with clothing on shorter trips. If you live there, you likely have anyway suitable clothes for a variety of different trips.

- somehow I feel that fatbikes have gotten a bit out of fashion, but they are really cool winter bikes and not nearly as bad in the summer as you might think (assuming a quality bike)

- overall, you need much less new things you might think to try. And after you try, you know much better what you actually want.
Data? rsync
After spending a decade living and biking around Minneapolis, I recently moved to Boston.

The comparison of bicycle infrastructure (and number of people cycling) is stark. Given how bad the vehicle traffic is in Boston, I expected lots of bike commuters.

But there's no cohesive bicycle infrastructure here. Protected lanes barely exist, and even when they do, they suddenly end - leaving you on the side of a busy road.

Maybe one day Boston can catch up.
I’ve been a bike commuter in Minneapolis for almost two decades at this point. It’s much better than it was. In the early 2000s I’d say most cars were not used to or expecting to share the streets with other forms of transportation. Back then it was not uncommon to have motorists hurl insults or trash at you from their window. Today it’s not that difficult to route your commute to most places entirely on bike specific infrastructure. On the other hand, over the last five years and especially since the pandemic I’ve noticed a huge increase in distracted drivers who are driving dangerously and unpredictably. All this is to say, a lot of people have done a lot of hard work which has made this a better place to live and bike in, but there is still a long way to go.

You can get gummies like this in IL, but just not from the dispensaries. Plenty of people make the drive from Michigan to sell to their friends here.
It was not close to zero before 2007. For quite a long time, Minneapolis has a solid set of bike paths and a good bicycle culture to accompany it - all along the Mississippi river, around the numerous lakes in the city, and also the Midtown Greenway, an off-grade rail trail that runs all the way from the river to the lakes, which opened in 2000. In addition to several other bicycle commuter paths that predate this change.

These new bike lanes were the city doubling down on being a bicycle-friendly city.

Just recently I was trying to implement a feature using an extremely complicated and obscure API (some Chrome internal C++ stuff) and the only place I found a working example was inside a GitHub project which was GPL.

Obviously if I took the code and modified it to suit my purposes I would've run afoul of the GPL, but if Copilot suggests the same snippet to me it'd be fine. So there's obviously an issue here.
That's a philosophical question that nobody can know a definitive answer to.

Personally I'd say the difference is understanding why a certain pattern works rather than blindly inserting whatever works. It's the classic Chinese Room thought experiment.

Simply displaying the application is insufficient; the spamming issue would remain as they would spam the most common app that asks for auth at random intervals. An actual fix would involve displaying a randomly generated sequence in the app and in the notification and training users to check, but there would still be plenty of people who would just say yes without thinking.

MS has that flow as an option and it can be disabled. In my job life I've already heard from regulators who want it off.

The actual fix is to move to webauthn where the user experience is excellent and the security is much stronger than any password flow could ever be no matter what stuff you pile on top.
> A project in my neighborhood turned a major thoroughfare into a one way with a separated bike lane, and I've seen maybe 40 people use it since it's completion a few years ago.

How many cyclists you've personally witnessed using the lane is irrelevant. Look up the stats from a bike count.

> In my honest opinion Minneapolis is 75% of the year too hot or too cold for all but the most keen bikers.

Just goes to show the value of an opinion: 43% of Minneapolis bicyclists ride year-round: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/36685502.pdf

Also, a few years ago your city had the third highest percentage of bicycle commuters in the country: https://www.startribune.com/bicycle-commuting-at-highest-rat...
What do you do instead of riding when it’s wet or it snows? I bet it’s also harder on their drivetrains and biking is still cheaper.

Spiked tires work really well in winter by the way.
That's training for search to lead to a full copy of the original work with citations, not training for regurgitating verbatim chunks of copywritten works to be incorporated at scale into other copyrighted works while obfuscating their original source.

The Second Circuit's tests listed in your citation specifically fail in this case. It's not highly transformative since it's just regurgitating snippets to be used in other competing works rather than applying the body of works to a different domain. And it's specifically to provide a market substitute for the protected aspects of the original works.

Additionally, none of this says 'its all great and it's on the user to figure it out'.
Full admission - I don’t own or have responsibility for how the build system I work with is setup.

I’m on parental leave so details are fuzzy but roughly:

- run Bazel build

- expect dependencies to be built

- they weren’t built

- run Bazel build again

- something else decides to be built

- repeat ad nauseum

This is within the same project directory, etc. It’s entirely possible that the project is setup in some pathological way but I’ve encountered this enough times in two companies that it’s stuck in my head.

This was a case study with no control group. Case studies are, IMHO, close to useless.

Having read the study, I'm not impressed. No attempt was made to compare Minneapolis with peer cities as controls, that is, ones which did not increase bike infrastructure. A limited model was attempted regarding climate impacts, but beyond this little was done to control for external factors. Thus we have no idea if the change in bike usage was due to the bike lanes or if it was due to some other factor, such as societal, environmental, or other changes in Minnesota, or the US, which increased ridership over the 7-year inclusive (!!!) time period of the study.

Additionally, this study was essentially a before-and-after for the US's $25 million Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTPP). The study is based on data gathered by parties highly invested in the program's success, such as Transit for Livable Communities (a nonprofit paid by Minnesota to manage the program), rather than disinterested parties.

Do I want to see cycling successful? You bet I do. Does this paper tell us anything much? No, it does not.

I didn't see any mention of starting numbers, at least not in the summary/abstract. I believe Minneapolis has been bike-friendly for quite some time, so the starting point was probably not zero.

That may be true for most people, however, there are many conditions that cause obesity outside of those two factors. Unfortunately, people are judged for being obese, even if it is due to a chronic illness or other factors outside of their direct control.

Nothing wrong with promoting healthy eating and exercise, but unfortunately, this often turns into negative judgement against people that do not deserve it. These negative judgements often cause real harm. I know people whose doctors have dismissed all symptoms of real diseases, simply because they were obese. "Just lose weight" is what they've been told, far too often, when, in fact, there were serious conditions that needed immediate treatment.

So yes, promote healthy habits, but please do so carefully, and without judgement.
A surprisingly important item is limiting the amount of liquid you consume late at night.

This is great until you need to reinstall the OS/browser and suddenly everything you typed in the omnibar is gone.
Helpful to know: Exercising hard in general I think is helpful. I am not a morning person but I sleep extremely well when I go climbing in the gym for ~2 hrs or so in the evenings, after dinner. I pretty much have dinner, go there, warm up and climb, go back, shower and sleep, and that guarantees a deep sleep for me. I also tend to wake up with a clear head and can easily solve stuff I was struggling with the day before.
