A fundamental problem with Galactica is that it is not able to distinguish truth from falsehood, a basic requirement for a language model designed to generate scientific text

Isn't this the same problem that Github Copilot has?

Fundamentally it has no idea whether code works. It doesn't even know what the problem is.

It just spits out things that are similar to things its seen before, including buggy code from Github repositories.

Not sure why it's so popular. I guess it helps you write status quo code faster (the status quo being buggy and slow) -- I would rather it help us write better code.
Labor market in Western Europe became so corrupted by leftist policies after the mid-20th century that it became basically anti-business. This affected startups the most, since businesses are most vulnerable in their startup phase. And the IT industry (unlike other old industries) was built almost exclusively by startups... Current idiotic policies (GDPR, USB-C charging) are just nails in the coffin on the inexistent European IT industry.

The second necessary component was capital. Financial markets in Europe were heavily regulated and taxed, with investing and especially angel investing actively discouraged.

The third component: universities were available in Europe as well. But without the first two parts the best and brightest europeans went to Silicon Valley to help build the US IT industry.

Because the immigration policy (the final component) was significantly more open in the USA as well...

Equity is not the same as equality and was never intended as a way to gauge equality.

Equity, by its very definition, is unequal. Every single thing done in the name of equity is unequal. On purpose. Because the "job" of equity is to right inequalities in the system.

If you put something online, and present it as useful tool, then you have to expect that people are going to try to break it. You can look at that as free testing and open-source bughunting, or you can complain about about misuse and take it offline. The responsible parties took the latter route, which is kind of silly.

I know you counted this out, but diet has been by far the biggest factor for me. I started rigorously eating a keto diet, with almost all grass fed organic meat/eggs and organic veggies. Very expensive if done properly, but I feel like a different person. The change is astounding, to the level that I am more articulate and am better at holding a conversation. It takes a few days of proper eating for the effect to take. I would give the keto diet a shot before anything else. I have found zero supplements and vitamins that have any long lasting effect.
Is there a chance that this is going to make the parsing of large org mode files faster?
We already have some sentencing that allows drivers with a series of DUIs to be allowed to have a limited license which permits them only to drive to/from work, medical appointments, and specific categories of shopping and to, if stopped, breath-test below epsilon BAC at all times.

Having technology aid in enforcing those sentences (such as the breath-test ignition interlock required by some sentences) seems OK to me. I think I'd include geo-fencing into that same level of balancing society's interests and the freedom of someone convicted of multiple DUIs.
I used to love Car2Go. I read that the only reason it was around was so BMW/Merc could meet the fleet emission requirements in the US, and once they were able to meet that without selling a bunch of cars to Car2Go/ShareNow there was no reason to keep losing money on it.
I think you know that the answer is in the links of that link you posted.

Also, one thing I've always wondered: why do people want to use hwmon to set fan RPMs? (Or really, why do this from userspace at all?) It seems inherently dangerous to me, as you're asking a process who might not receive CPU time for whatever reasons from the very much not realtime OS to control a fan; if the current RPM is too low, and the system starts generating heat, but the fan controlling process doesn't get CPU time … then what happens?

It seems to me you want fans controlled with something dedicated to it.

The other thing I don't get is all the plethora of options my motherboard gives me to set fans only to fixed RPMs. Am I crazy in that I want the fan to be controlled by heat? (More heat => more RPMs. Keep the system cool, but if there isn't much thermal load, spin the fans down and reduce the noise?)

But by fixing an RPM, it seems the only valid input is "100%"; anything else could be too low under stressful conditions.

I could also have a cheap motherboard. (I definitely won't be purchasing from this manufacturer again, and the motherboard does have other severe quality issues…)

Hi, it's my site. I find the links by exploring*, and I add and categorise them manually.

Let's say you have a pool of smart first year grad students you want to inspire to work hard on problems for you for the next 7 years.

Do you say "we're going to give you a problem that is unsolved but likely has a general solution, and you have a chance of making progress, publishing, and moving on to a postdoc" or do you say "THis is an impossibly hard problem and you will only make a marginal improvement on the state of the art because the problem space is so complex and large"?

You say the first because it gets the students interested and working on the problem, only to learn many years later that the simplified model presented was so simplified it wasn't helpful. I fell for that and spent years working on drug discovery, structure prediction, etc, only to realize: while what Anfinsen said was true, it only applies to about 1% of protein space. It's not so much a "no true scotsman" as "some scotsmen wear quilts, and others have beards, but neither of those is sufficient to classify an example as scots".
I have some doubt on idea of keep working under blackout conditions. One is not easy, to code when your body and toes are suffering from cold temperature. Maybe reducing the number of meetings can help her to use her batteries for some more important tasks.
Interview with Anne-Laure Le Cunff, Founder of Ness Labs
therefore... what?
1) those emails didn't come from hilary's server, and the fact that you don't know the difference is telling.

2) The unfortunate truth is that while it is against the rules for high level politicians to have their own separate email server without extra stuff around security, it is unfortunately the norm. Hell, Trumps entire admin/family ran private email servers, as did plenty of people in Obamas admin, as does most of congress, let alone the other stuff like not using the secured government phone and using their personal phone for convenience sake.

Old fart politicians are almost never a security analyst and spy, so they tend to not understand what security means.
What is Ahrefs' business? Sure "SEO", but what does that mean, exactly?

They seem to have a poorly coded web crawler. I wrote an "infinite web site" PHP program that Ahrefs reacted to very poorly: https://github.com/bediger4000/infinite-fake-website

Since SEO is a major contributor to lousy search results, I'm now just trying to ban them all via robots.txt, but it doesn't seem mean enough.
I have tried every supplement/herb/nootropic you can think of + more. I've also asked this question to many of the folks I interviewed for my book about adult ADHD.

The only thing that was directly effective was prescription stimulant medication (in my case, a low dose of Vyvanse).

The biggest impact outside of that was lifestyle design, self forgiveness, and an array of the "healthy lifestyle" choices you've mentioned.

I truly empathize with your quest for a helpful supplement because I've had the same curiosity and have done the same search, but to no avail.

Even more frustrating is that you'll find some studies that vaguely point to some vitamin that "helps boost focus in those with ADHD!" But once you dig into the data, the "results" are some insignificant "boost" & are generally just a side effect of study participants getting better sleep/less anxiety/etc.

This is the same media that pilloried Obama for wearing a tan suit, and ran a day long expose on Trump wanting an extra scoop of ice cream. Making a big deal out of meaningless stuff in politics is sort of their bread and butter.
That’s basically what you said, yes:

“The problem with that goal…is that you'd be advocating for the end of adoption of electric vehicles and keeping humanity a single planet species forever”

I don’t care about Twitter itself, but I hope that Elon’s cruel and destructive approach fails.

And I’m not so entranced by his self-aggrandizing mythology that I think him failing at Twitter will have any impact whatsoever on adoption of electric vehicles or our ability to get to space. Give me a break lol

Journalists are people, and people have not been impartial ever. I don’t know where this meme came from, but even deciding to report on a story is being partial. There is no such thing as objective reporting, and it was not better 60 years ago.

The idea that journalist are not perfect, therefore they are terrible and entirely untrustworthy is much more dangerous than any journalist’s corruption.

The idea that it used to be better a century ago is laughable.

> The main thrust in this article is that scraping HTML display markup is a terrible form of data interchange between systems. Think in terms of modern banking systems that are based on screen-scraping terminal UIs of that era.

As a sidenote this is intentional for banks. They do not want to provide APIs or anything similar to ensure they can lock in their customers to their own platform. This is because competition is toxic for companies that do not invest in R&D. Sometimes user hostile banks do not even provide CSV downloads for your tranasctions.

The situation is so bad that the EU rolled out regulation called PSD2 to address the situation. You need to get access to your bank account via API by law. However, the bureacrats made this extra political and complicated and you need to sign up to a third party company and request the access through this company to your own bank account. The solution, PSD2, has not been the great success that takes down Visa/Mastercard/etc. as its proponents claimed.
My whole point is said directions are completely useless if you can't trust the system to be based on factual principles.

It's easy to dismiss "bears in space" as not factual. It's harder to dismiss "the links between two underresearched fields in biology" without putting in an exorbitant amount of work. Work which likely is going to be useless if the model is just as happy to spit out "bears in space".

And that was what I had already said. I asked you how you could possibly trust those links it provided. Because you can't. They may very well be novel links that had never been researched. Or they could have been bears in space.

A scientific model which doesn't guarantee some degree of factuality in its responses is completely useless as a scientific model.

A Programmer-Friendly I/O Abstraction Over io_uring and kqueue
I own a bunch of AMGs and this seems fairly reasonable to me.

It’s always trivial to squeeze more power out of these cars with software modifications. The cars do not come out of the factory like that because of reliability concerns.

To me this just reads like manufacturer-warrantied chiptuning. The interesting question will be whether or not this can actually compare with external chiptuners when it comes to performance.

HN doesn’t like subscriptions, but 1.2k/yr for a warrantied high quality tune from the manufacturer would be a great deal compared to what is available right now.
To me the hardest problem is simply remembering what every light on my network is named. Did I call the light next to my desk “desk light” or did I call it “office light”? If I don’t get the name exactly right, I cannot control the light. Multiply that by every other light in the house and it becomes a lot to remember. I have probably 15 lights controlled by Alexa and I can only remember the name of like three of them. Thus most of the time it is just “Alexa turn on the lights” so it can turn everything on in a room.

If these voice assistants were smarter about “alternative” names for every device it might be easier to use. But as it stands, it’s kind of a pain because the way you phrase each request is so unforgiving…

Oh yeah, and god help you if your device name is similar to your room name. If your room is “office” (or did I name it “the office”?) and your light is “office light” Alexa is gonna have a bad time figuring the two apart.

I have no clue how to fix this…

PS: this is why I question steering wheel free self driving cars. How will we tell these things exactly where to go when we cannot even reliably tell our voice assistants exactly what light to turn on?
I would find such a delay unacceptable for a public agency. Anything visible in the photos should be releasable.
Whether or not my points apply generally does not mean it does not apply to insurance. In fact, it very likely means insurance is a subset of generally, and therefore insurance also has to deal with racism. You cannot extricate models of society from their ills by pretending the ills aren't relevant.

Twitter isn't even a top 10 social media site, let alone a top 10 advertiser (which includes major publications like network television: CNBC, ABC, Fox, and the like... Sports Stadiums, Billboards, etc. etc.)

Like, what advertisements on Social Media actually get things done? Google Adsense, Facebook, Amazon, Youtube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, Apple Play store, Google Play store. Etc. etc.

Yeah, a lot of repeats (Google, Youtube, Google Play. Amazon/Twitch, etc. etc.), but the big advertisers have multiple locations that really draw a lot of eyeballs. Twitch is _TINY_ compared to everyone else.

--------

Advertisers are also super worried about the (possible) upcoming recession and are cutting advertising dollars significantly. There was a chance Twitter was always somewhat doomed, but actively pissing off the Advertiser base and accelerating the Advertiser exodus certainly doesn't help.

Twitter has gone from "Small advertiser" into "actively hostile advertiser". Twitter was always going to lose a chunk of ad revenue in this economic time, but now they're skyrocketing to the top of the list of ad-partners to cut.
As far as I can tell the facts of the matter are that a federal judge with his own agenda attempted to force the FBI to give over all of Seth Rich's personal data and gave them 14 days to comply.

The FBI responded that 14 days was an unreasonable amount of time and asked the judge to either specify exactly what it is they want, or give them time to review the data themselves.

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23218831/doj-reconsid...

The alt-right media has twisted what the FBI was saying about the time it takes to review documents and trying to paint their rebuttal as 'they want to hide this forever', which is not the case. .. which is why you won't find this "66 years" thing on any reputable website.
Apart from the choice of burning goodwill in their engines, if controlling the accelerator is technically possible then ridiculously lethal remote hacking is also possible.
> No: there is nothing useful that can come out of such "research".

That's just wrong. This very paper we're discussing has AI safety factors built-in: the AI is not supposed to be able to lie, and yet it exhibited deceptive behaviours anyway. That falls squarely under AI safety, and is a pretty useful observation to inform future attempts.

> The current state of so-called "AI" is our fire. It's impressive and useful (and there are real dangers associated with it) but it has no bearing on intelligence, let alone superintelligence.

That's conjecture. We don't know what general intelligence really is, so you simply cannot gauge how close we are. For all you know we could be one simple tweak away from current architectures, and that should be terrifying.

> As it stands, we don't have the understanding or the tools to do anything useful wrt safety from a super-intelligent AI.

Even if that were true, which it's not, we certainly won't develop that understanding or those tools if we don't start researching them!

> We do have the understanding and tools to do something useful about asteroids and climate change.

Suppose you had a time machine and went back to the 19th century to explain the dangers of asteroids wiping out all of humanity. They didn't have the launch capability or the detection abilities we do now, but if they were sufficiently convinced of this real threat, does it not seem plausible that they could be motivated to more heavily fund research into telescopes and rockets? Couldn't we plausibly have reached space sooner and be even better prepared in the present to meet that threat than we are now?

Instead of a time machine, couldn't we just use our big brains to predict that something might actually be a serious problem in the future and that maybe we should devote a few smart people to thinking about these problems now and how to mitigate them?

This all just strikes me as incredibly obvious, and we do it in literally every other domain, but somehow say "AI" and basic logic goes out the window.
Huh. I was expecting that providing access to the no_unique_address value despite it not having an address would be much trickier than that.

Given that you can solve the top layer, there is a really nice hack that lets you work out the rest of the puzzle. Say your top layer is completely solved, except that one of the top side pieces is flipped 180 degrees. You know a sequence of moves that will fix that piece, to solve the top layer. If you do that sequence and then run the same sequence backwards, you will get the cube back to the same place, first with that side piece fixed, and then rotated 180 degrees again. But here is the trick: Before you run the sequence backwards, rotate the top! You will restore the cube exactly to where it was, except that now TWO of the top side pieces will have been flipped 180 degrees! This is referred to as a commutator operation, and is what Ryan Heise explains. Variants of this trick will let you rotate two corners in opposite directions, and re-position two top pieces and one bottom piece. One last thing: when solving the bottom layer, you may find yourself unable to re-position cubies into place using 3-way moves. Just rotate the top layer 90 degrees and you will then be able to proceed to completion.
Certainly not in that area. If active fighting will be even remotely close to that town we well try evacuation.

Ask HN: How do you handle photo uploads in a public site?
I'm building a public facing service that will allow people to upload a small number of photos that are visible to a limited number of people. I am aware of a number of ways this can be abused (porn or worse) and I am looking for a solution that does not require human moderation.

How have you handled allowing people to upload photos?
