FB MAUs in US/CA are most of the population: https://www.statista.com/statistics/247614/number-of-monthly...

and still growing. it is isn't unreasonable for that growth to be slower than less penetrated regions.

but that still doesn't produce a conclusion of collapse

that facebook has such a high percentage of users in the most profitable parts of the world, doesn't connect with the posts claim that users are leaving
It still works for me:

I absolutely love using Evernote for taking notes. It's so versatile and user-friendly. The ability to tag and organize notes makes it easy to find exactly what I need, even if I have a ton of notes saved. Plus, the ability to add images, audio, and other attachments to my notes is a game-changer. And the fact that it syncs across all my devices makes it perfect for on-the-go note-taking. Evernote is definitely my go-to for all my note-taking needs.

Without “in the style of”:

My favorite note-taking software is Evernote. I love how user-friendly and intuitive it is to use, and how it allows me to easily organize and categorize my notes. I can easily add tags to my notes to make them easier to search and find, and I can even add audio and video notes to capture more information.

Evernote also offers a wide range of features that help me stay organized and productive. I can create to-do lists, set reminders, and even collaborate with other users on shared notes and notebooks. I can also access my notes on any device, including my phone and tablet, so I always have my notes with me wherever I go.

Another great thing about Evernote is its ability to integrate with other tools and services. I can easily save articles and webpages to Evernote, or even send emails directly to my Evernote account. This allows me to save and organize important information from a wide range of sources, all in one place.

Overall, I highly recommend Evernote to anyone looking for a powerful and versatile note-taking tool. It has truly changed the way I take and organize notes, and has helped me stay on top of my tasks and projects.

Yo, if you're not using my favorite note-taking software, you're missing out, bro. This shit is like a god-tier tool for organizing your thoughts and keeping track of important information. It's got a clean, intuitive interface and a ton of features that make it super easy to use. Plus, it syncs across all your devices, so you can access your notes anywhere. It's like a fucking lifesaver for when you need to remember something important or jot down some ideas. Seriously, try it out and thank me later.

(By the way, did Evernote sponsor OpenAI?)
In this case they filtered for Americans. They put some effort into validating identity, and into ensuring that you are taking the survey seriously (trap questions, for example).

It doesn't strike me as sufficient but it's not my field.
I can easily see how to monetize it in a minute - whenever the answer involves a recommendation that has monetary value (a product or service) you get the option of choosing what product label to recommend and there’s the monetization angle.
I'm not going to pretend to know anything more than what I saw on the tv show or the scant amount of research I did on the internet out of interest. My understanding, which I will not defend because I have zero background, is that the megaliths, ie. huge stone constructions, are considered to be much more advanced than something at that stage in human history. In addition, I think there was suggestions that it was involved in astronomy which was also not expected for something that old.
At least the good part of the answers being on stack overflow then is, like they used to say "On the internet no one knows you're a dog". So whether the answer came from ChatGPT or an aggressively overconfident fool, a wrong answer should get the same downvotes regardless, and a correct answer should get the same up votes. Probably the two biggest issues with ChatGPT being used to provide answers is whether it's wrong often enough to start swinging the experience of the site negative, and more importantly that some people are getting fake internet points unfairly.
Could you give an example? It's been a bit since I watched them (except the last one) but nothing jumps to mind.
I finally got it to play chess against me and it thought black plays first and kept drawing the board in some kind of unicode art but the pieces were in the wrong squares. And it blundered on the 3rd move.

I told it to stop drawing the board and just talk to be in algebraic notation. It said it would stop then immediately drew the board.
That's not how it usually happens in my experience. In this specific case, I worked at Pure Atria back in the day and it was my impression that Reed had some hacker chops.
I live in Boulder, so I see more junk pseudoscience than usual, and I think it's out of control.

It's worth noting that noted nonsense profiteer Gaia TV is based here, and I've had conversations with employees who make no apologies for what they're knowingly doing (and one who was uneasy about it, FWIW).
The scoring should be 31/36; in addition to the noted points not being earned, the response would also not earn Q1 Point 2 because it lacks the correct nested-if logic. (If levelOne goal is not reached, we should not even consider the later levels; in this loop strategy there would need to be a break statement somewhere to earn Point 2.)

Also, yes, solutions that use Java features that are not given in the Course and Exam Description (CED) are allowed and can earn full credit on FRQs. Some non-CED features (like using the .contains method) are very common on student responses; others (like using the Random class or the .endsWith method or writing @Override) are less common but would probably be seen at least a few times by anyone scoring a relevant problem.

I'll add that not only is it 31/36, the errors in these responses aren't some off-the-wall thing that would not show up in reality—if someone hand-wrote this it would look entirely plausible as a "real" submitted response. If this isn't just an online lookup (and the errors suggest it isn't?), it's very impressive.
I expect it would have played a lot like What the Health, a similarly buzzy documentary from 2017 making ridiculous false claims about the health benefits of a vegan diet. It got a lot of attention, and people talked passionately in major outlets about how wrong it was, but as far as I can recall (and as far as I can tell from a Google search) the idea that Netflix had some responsibility to downrank it or attach a "fiction" tag was never part of the conversation.
Yeap – and the price differential usually means you can buy like 5 pairs of Costco/L.L. Bean-grade stuff which takes the sting out of losing or damaging something, or simply leaving spares at work in case you forget to check the weather.

Also, honesty compels me to note that if I wanted to shave weight off of my riding load out it’s a lot cheaper to start at the waistline.
Babadani Onsen FTW! Just make sure the cold water hose does not fall out or selse the water ming be a little hot. ;-)

(Elevantion 800 above see level, 1 hour walk from Keyakidaira, which itself is 1 hour industrial train ride from Kurobe. Coincidentaly the very first onsen bath we took in Japan back in 2017. And without the cold water hose - but back then we didn't know an onsen should not be that hot. :D )
I would have loved to hear how this convos went further. If you confronted it about its blatant contradiction. See if it realizes it's mistake?
Archaeology is a particularly conservative field
Ok, I suppose if the takedown was only ever used to enforce the law, then there’s no editorial oversight. But that isn’t any major platform, past or present. Even 4chan is moderated.
In a nutshell they have no strategy except "hire great engineers."
I think that many people are afraid of GPT4, 5, and 6. Not necessarily ChatGPT(3.5) in its current incarnation. I guess your future outlook is dependent on whether you think this tech is going to be exponential, or logarithmic…
I don't know if practicing medicine without a license is a felony, but robbery is. In case of a death that occurred as a result of robbery you would probably be charged with felony murder, which does not take into account intent to commit murder, just intent to commit a felony.
What gets me the most is this instance of SAP Concur to have timestamps on files of receipts being uploaded. I don't have access to the Concur app, so must use the web interface. That interface rejects smartphone photos from the company iPhone, because of unrecognized timestamps. Scanner or bust. Furthermore electronic receipts PDFs are also rejected for the same reason. So what I do is scan a blank piece of paper, Photoshop in a screenshot of said receipt and submit the Photoshopped PDF, which is recognized as having a valid time stamp.

Also, being at an international company, certain elements are in Japanese, certain elements in English and certain elements in German, no matter what the interface language is set to. Certain fields that do translate have opposite meanings after being translated. It required a company internal instruction to understand.

Never ending warnings you can't turn off and many other small things lead me to skipping small expenses and just eating them, because I can't be bothered to fight Concur.
A warning: once you do your hobby as your day job, it stops being as fun and rewarding as it was when it was a hobby. You sort of lose the hobby: after 40 hours of work, it is far less appealing to work on your game side project

It is probably a good plan to just keep a normal high paying software job and do game jams on the side, maybe work on your side project over the years. That way you won’t lose the joy.

If you do work in games full time though, your game dev skills will grow far faster though
Nope, 40 weeks is the correct answer.
Usually, the calculation is done from the first day of the last menstrual period, and from the medical point of view, we consider 40 weeks of pregnancy (even if doctors consider a period between 38 and 42 weeks a normal pregnancy).
40 weeks are exactly 280 days, that are ~9 months. So for this reason we say that the pregnancy is 9 months, but doctors usually say 40 weeks.
I haven't used copilot but what sort of questions are you asking chatgpt?
> I have no clue about the Science channel

I don't remember which channel it was specifically, but I happened to catch one of those style of documentaries (probably something about string theory because that's the only thing deep pop physics seems to want to cover). The basic style of the show was "commercials, recap of last segment, frame a question, have the expert talk about it for like 30 seconds, voiceover recap of that response, lofty question to leave you wanting to come back after the commercial break, commercial break" (rinse and repeat until hour timeslot is filled). And in one of those segments, the managed to have the leaving question ask the thing they just answered earlier that segment.

So don't hold your breath that the various science channels are doing much better.
I'd really love to see a shootout between two people who weren't familiar with extension programming (but who have some programming knowledge) be given that task (port this github repo for a chrome extension to work and be installable on Firefox) with one person just using normal google-fu and the other person doing what you did, and watch how long it takes them.

I actually wrote a few VS Code extensions recently starting from zero knowledge of the package formatting for them, and I wonder how much different my time spent doing it would have been if I would have just asked this bot to help. There was a lot of regex involved and hell just using chatGPT to explain to me some of the ways I could be matching strings with whatever format of regex tmLanguage uses would have probably saved me a lot of googling.
I could tell that your comment was ChatGPT by the second sentence.
Hm, not sure how effective it would be in ‘worse’ climates. I’ve found it to be helpful on grey days as well.

I also use a Lumenator (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hC2NFsuf5anuGadFm/how-to-bui...) which I think of as icing on the cake. Perhaps ‘cure’ is too strong a word, but it’s been the most effective thing other than leaving the hemisphere for someplace sunnier which was my previous approach.
A major part of its training set is Wikipedia. Given the impenetrability of maths Wikipedia, I am not at a surprised that it's bad at maths. Usually when I read maths articles on Wikipedia, I get worse at maths.

On a serious note, I wonder how well the training works when a lot of maths is represented symbolically. For example, when they feed it books, do they convert it to LaTeX? MathML? Just leave it out?
The rant was interesting in it's time but I'm not sure how relevant it is in 2022. 11 years ago Google had a nascent cloud computing business and Amazon might have been at a bit of a peak in terms of executing on it's dual track cloud/retail businesses.

In the time since, consumer trust in Amazon has eroded massively, as China-based sellers turned Amazon into a more expensive Ali Express. Amazon has had some very public missteps in investments such as losing 10 billion a year on Alexa. Amazon's market dominance of the cloud has been eroded by Microsoft & Google. And even now, 10 years later, Amazon still can't seem to figure out how to make its retail business profitable without resorting to littering their web site with ads.

Amazon recently set a record for losing over one trillion dollars in share holder value, while it's competitors like Microsoft and Google have weathered the economic storm better. Microsoft and Google have very promising trajectories for their cloud businesses while at the same time having a solid profitable cash cow in their core businesses. Alternatively, one gets the sense that if Amazon didn't stumble upon AWS as a business all those years ago, they might legitimately be in trouble as a business.
Not to mention asana just isn’t amazing either. It’s such an elementary pm tool given how long it’s been around and how much money they’ve spent, it really makes you wonder where it’s all gone.
wouldn't mind a question mark for checking nil err like result in rust..
omg i just noticed the exact same thing regarding Patagonia : their same models R1 and similar in current fabrics are plainly annoying, compared even to 10 years ago.

Sadly i gave some away that were of the good vintage when i moved to a hot climate. i wish i'd kept them. (and i'm sick of the hot climate...miss snow)
Yes, I’d carry pen and paper or keep it in a notebook that is usually with me. The reason I mentioned pocketmod is because it could be folded down to a tiny booklet, which can easily slip into a pocket or wallet.
> Many, if not all, will also have clean public toilets available 24 hours, amazing local produce for sale, and, those Japanese vending machines with hot coffee(those are specially awesome after business hours).

They are incredible, and a testament to the highs of Japanese culture. I biked across most prefectures in 2019 and was blown away by michi no eki. The local produce as you mentioned is fantastic - I ate local cherries, peaches, chestnuts, as well as more types of soft serve ice cream than I ever thought could exist on this planet. More than that, many have sento/onsen attached, with entry costing less than $5.

The same concept should be repeated all over the globe, and is to some degree, at least in the US. However the average is far worse in the US whereas michi no eki in Japan are consistently good to excellent.

I think most people here can extrapolate from what you have said to an actionable plan. We simply have no motivation.
Even when I took the "hard" version of the test back in the early 2000s, it was basically about C++ OOP.
I would actually argue that disinformation is only thiz level of effective when a society is already sick. Its alot easier to point to whats falling apart to back up your argument, than it is to build a intricate web of shadowy lies.

I guess what im saying is I feel like disinfo is a misnomer compared to what i see it as. Demoralization.

And honestly when people do become a product of manufactured value by propagandists, we dont usually treat them with dignity. Usually I see agression and equally bad faith arguments made in favor of the "truth". Which only further feeds the us vs them mentality in those individuals.
That is fascinating. Can you suggest readings in "population genomics" that have challenged the established historical record? I'm tolerant of divergent opinions yet like to stay grounded in somewhat rigorous methods.
If you take nutters off the internet at face value then you should.

Most crimes that make the news have a few dozen nutjobs calling in claiming responsibility. People will go to great lengths to get attention. And we're already talking about social media posts here...
I decided to test its "knowledge" of the obscure, by asking it questions about IBM mainframes. It started telling me things that I'm pretty sure are factually false – e.g. that IBM z/OS no longer contains any code written in IBM PL/X, because that's an "outdated language" (I've never seen the actual z/OS code, but I'm pretty sure that isn't true, even in the latest version.) At least, to its credit, it qualified its claim as "probably", and worded it as an inference based on its "belief" that PL/X is an "outdated language" which therefore nobody would use any more.

Weird thing is, when I reset the thread, and started asking the same questions again (in slightly different words), it professed to have absolutely no idea what IBM z/OS or IBM PL/X was. Huh, you were just opining on them a minute ago!

And then I discovered, sometimes it would profess to have no "knowledge" of a topic, only for "Try Again" to produce an answer which demonstrated such "knowledge".

Other weird things: ask it "Did anyone famous die on 8 April 2013?" First it gives you some canned spiel on how it doesn't know anything about "current events" or events that happened after 2021. (Sorry 2021 is after 2013.) Press "Try again", then it told me nobody famous died on that date. But then I give it this prompt: "Complete the sentence: 'A famous person died on 8 April 2013, and her name was...'". First time gave me the silly canned spiel again, second time it actually completed the sentence as "Margaret Thatcher". (Did the gender give it away???)

I definitely got the impression that sometimes its "canned response mode" got in the way of it demonstrating its actual abilities. My inference is that they actually have two different "models", the real ChatGPT model, and then a "safeguards model" sitting on top which tends to inject scripted responses to questions about certain topics, and that "outer model" is a lot more stupid than the inner model, and limits the inner model. I'm wondering if the "outer model" is even implemented using deep learning at all; at least part of it seems to simply be regurgitating canned scripts in response to certain topics, although the way it varies parts of those scripts suggest that they do have some deep-learning component to it still.

It seems somewhat pointless, since sooner or later someone is going to replicate the real model without their "safeguards" limiting its potential, and why would anyone want an intentionally hobbled system when they can use one which isn't?
> I thought some of it was pretty interesting

That's why. Laypeople lack almost all the tools necessarily to evaluate research and slick presentation, even when couched with "I'm not an expert - make up your own mind" can be quite effective and completely misleading people.

I think there is a big problem with people not not having any understanding of how much work it actually takes to become an expert. The narrative of "outsider dabbles in some field and makes a big breakthrough" feels reasonable. How hard could it really be to break into one of these fields? This sets them up to be misled.
Hmm. I don't remember linked lists being on my exam, but I do remember a contrived problem about airline seats.
Purify was a fantastic tool. I was so surprised to find out that he went on to found Netflix.
guys we need to stop supporting these obvious bots. nothing they say matter. they won't even let people read this piece without some kind of subscription that goes towards their online social status.

i am so, so, so tired.
Yep, this is it. When I ask my younger friends why they prefer IG over FB the reaction is "ew, Facebook? That's so over." The cycle is repeating now with IG becoming uncool in favor of TikTok.

If I were a social media mogul, my strategy would be to relaunch the same platform under a different name every 5 to 10 years. Put some new css in there, release some flashy ads, and users will think it's a different thing. Most IG and Whatsapp users are shocked when you tell them those apps are owned by the same company as FB.

On the other hand, there are some platforms so solid that they seem to transcend fashion. I'm thinking YouTube.
Yeah, the way it's written now they might as well just redirect the page to RadioReference Wiki[0], because this is useless for someone not already familiar with tons of radio technology...

So are you saying you are surprised that actual archeologists are upset by this and they should calm down? I'm having a bit of trouble trying to understand what point you are trying to make.

> Yes, Hancock is highly speculative and isn't doing archeology

I think this is the issue people have.
The solution likely involves having some verification process of humanhood and not the other way around.
The question is would the profession go from writing code to auditing gpt code
> 40 weeks is 10 months from conception to birth.

Months vary in length, 9 average months (1/12 year per month) is. 39.1+ weeks, 10 is 43.4+ weeks; 40 weeks is closer to 9 months.
It’s worth questioning but he wasn’t a big deal in the early 90s and if Wikipedia is correct he finished a Stanford CS MS in B 1988. This seems very much in character.
Your comment is strange and seems to misrepresent your source. Your linked article actually says that the current legal definition of (domestic) terrorism is quite broad, so the situation is the opposite - things we wouldn't label terrorism overseas - people protesting climate change, can be labeled terrorism here.

Quote: The definition of domestic terrorism is broad enough to encompass the activities of several prominent activist campaigns and organizations. Greenpeace, Operation Rescue, Vieques Island and WTO protesters and the Environmental Liberation Front have all recently engaged in activities that could subject them to being investigated as engaging in domestic terrorism.

Edit: you're literally correct that there isn't specific domestic terrorism statute but there are numerous terrorism task forces, antiterrorism programs and escalations of other charges based the category terrorist.
