There's also the reality that a lot of the economy is already pretty frivolous if the concern is misallocated resources away from poverty. AI development is a far worthier cause than say, luxury handbags, massive sports stadiums (how much did the Football world cup cost?), video games, etc etc.

AI compared to many other things has a far more plausible path to helping solve those issues.
Cool, I didnt know that!

You can trust it. Look again at the OP. They fed the whole language spec into chatGPT, only after that it became capable of coding in their language. If you ask people to solve tasks without references you will see a similar drop in ability.

The trick is to feed relevant contextual information instead of using it closed-book. This can be automated with a search engine, or can be a deliberate manual process. But closed-book mode is not the right way to assess people or AIs.

I believe they routinely dump large quantities of PFAS based chemicals onto runways for whatever reason, then let it run down storm drains.
Yes this is practical in theory, but it's bad if their rating is mixed to rest of the world. Worldwide products like games review gets fewer stars by Japanese compared to others, some people think it's a problem.
It might be easier to do this with the qcow2 disk image format. Compression is enabled individually for each cluster (see bit 62 of the L2 table entry). That way an image can have mixed uncompressed and compressed clusters without requiring a CRC update after modification.

The data layout within the file can be queried with "qemu-img map file.qcow2" so you know the offsets where uncompressed data can be overwritten (if you want to patch it from the host instead of from inside a virtual machine).
in the case of Iran, it doesn't matter. They will stay in power, possibly for a long time, nobody wanna handle a revolution in the area right now. Not even their enemies.

This is also a reform that doesn't change the laws, it's just facade, as many had predicted.
Which leads me to think we should optimize for what we should be doing, not optimizing the thing we happen to be doing. Pointing in the right direction is more important than the velocity in a wrong direction.
I've struggled with maintaining ad-hoc rules for REMs and PX. In my experience, designers very rarely specify units on metrics and assume PX all the way.

How do you feel about the coupling of "text-sized icons" to the size of text?

Does an icon next to a label make the icon's size font-related in your view?

My go-to heuristic lately is: "is this layout-related?" -> it gets the PX. "is this text-related?" gets REMs. Margins and padding are denoted "layout" -> PX.
I’ve been hearing a lot of those “If you or a loved one have been affected…” style of commercials lately talking about Camp Lejeune some decades ago.
While I would also make this bet, there's a reason why economics is sometimes called "the dismal science" — the resources that went into making a stairlift (and proportional share of the factory) could, in principle, have instead been used to build enough mosquito nets to save approximately one life, while also improving the quality of life for another thousand.

Even if you're not being as much of a colossal arse as the headline of this story, which do you think is a better thing for money to be spent on?
I was wondering the same thing. I found this in a guardian article

> The military’s firefighters use aqueous film-forming foam, or AFFF, which contains extremely high levels of PFAS, in training exercises and emergencies. Though AFFF is effective, it has led to widespread contamination around bases and airports, and Congress just mandated the military check for PFAS pollution at 700 facilities while earmarking $571m for cleanup, though observers say the cost will likely be much higher.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/06/military-bas...
You should re-read the wiki page on Jevon's Paradox.
They would do firefighting training using foams that contained carcinogenic PFAS compounds. PFAS are extremely persistent, both in the environment and in the body. Apart from the risk from direct contact with the foams, it also would accumulate in the ground and then leech into groundwater, rivers, streams, oceans etc. so gets into local water and food supply. These foams were a problem in civilian airports too but not to the same extent as military.

Also in a lot of ways the military just seems to have safety standards a few decades behind everyone else. Various fuels, solvents and lubricants they use for aircraft etc. also contain carcinogenic compounds, and they just seem to have a history of never disposing of them properly (an example is the burn pits in Afghanistan where they would just dig big holes and burn toxic solvents along with plastic waste etc. in the air, causing huge health problems and many deaths for a lot of veterans).
This seems like making headlines for little real impact.

If they did want to do something for the environment and fairer competition between transport modes they should tax aviation fuel and airline tickets. Regardless of distance and destination.

I'm interested in finding out which day it'll start to break. GPT-3/ChatGPT are not perfectly accurate programmers, and some of the longer problems with more fluff text might distract it from the problem.

Two of the conditions (economic or fiscal strain + popular anger at injustice) seem to be met in Iran, plus the third one (narrative of resistance) is somewhat met, as Shi'a cultures tend to regard martyrdom highly and current governmental repression created a lot of martyrs.

I don't believe that all five conditions have to be met in order to see a revolution. In plenty of places like Portugal in 1974 or South Korea in the 1980s, situation was much less dire than in Iran today.

Is there a continuous retrain mode? From other articles, I was under the impression this thing doesn't know the current state of the world, just the slice of the world at a snapshot in time represented by its training set.

All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.

I read things like this:

> The wall we all hit at some point during the pandemic was digital. It was a wall of video meetings, Slack threads, text chains, and emails. A wall built from Netflix and Disney+, Facebook and TikTok, Instagram, and the endless onslaught of urgent tweets. It was the wall in our hands, on our desks, and beside our pillows, a wall that we turned to for salvation but kept smacking into and then wondering why on earth our bodies were so damn beat at the end of each day. The wall was the full unleashed reality of the digital future as it completely consumed our lives.

And have no sense of it at all. "We all" did not hit that wall. It makes me glad I'm not on social media and work in an industry that allows me to switch off when I exit the building. My fondest memory of the pandemic was teaching my son to ride his bike, there was no traffic so it was safe to do it in the street.

>These sensors were installed at night

Obviously you can't install them during the middle of a class.

>without student knowledge or consent

It is not the student's desks. You aren't informed or asked consent when you walk into a business with CCTV cameras.

>when pressed for an explanation, students were told this was part of a study on "desk usage,"

Which would be useful data for allocating classes to classrooms or building new classrooms.

>After that, the students at the Privacy Institute, which specialize in studying surveillance and reversing its harm, started removing the sensors

Which is illegal since it isn't their property.

Overall this data collection was being done in a privacy respecting way and the students in the story were overreacting over documenting desk occupancy. Taking attending is less privacy preserving and that happens a lot in education.

If you restart the session and enter

> echo test1 | md5

it will output another random 'hash' each time. But within one session it knows that md5 should produce the same output. Running

> echo test1 | md5

multiple times, or even

> VAR1="test1"; echo $VAR1 | md5

produces the same output for me within the same session, while

> echo test2 | md5

results in a different, but also session-consistent hash.
> Everything "made by AI" is made by humans, as AI is a tool.

Man can build machines that build stuff, whether it is furniture, electronics or food productions. Those products are not man-made but machine-made. It's no different with "art", whether visual arts or text production.

AI is most definitely not like a paintbrush. A production line of cars is not a screw driver and a highly automated toast bread factory is not a knife.

It has nothing to do with thinking, but with level of automation.

Not really, because in that case you'd expect a clear specification of the order in which the words should appear, if they should be on the same line, etc.

By your logic, a prompt like "Print foo" could result in "foo bar". You didn't ask for "bar" but the output is still valid according to you.

And 30,0000 years ago people lived as foragers, the world was much more equitable and people had more leisure time.

Personally two things come to mind: Hedonistic or Noble

Hedonistic:
Fly to Amsterdam one way, buy a few doses of truffles, smoke some weed, see some boobs or whatever floats your boat I dunno. Then go to centraal station, buy the first train ticket and keep traveling. Stay in hostels, be open to meeting people. Every hostel will point you to walking tours in the morning, and usually a group will go together. Just join that group.

Saying "Hey, I've got some mushrooms, why don't we all go find somewhere to do them and hike" is actually a great icebreaker at a hostel. It's how I met my (sober) wife. Making friends at hostels throughout Europe was how I rebuilt my life after burning out on my 100% tech social network.

This is a PFAS issue more than a military issue. The people who manufactured PFAS and the regulators who approved the use of PFAS need to be held to account.

What are the advantages of reading slowly?

1. Improved comprehension: Reading slowly gives you time to process the information you’re taking in, which translates into better understanding of the material.

2. Improved retention: When you’re taking your time to absorb what you’re reading, you’re more likely to remember it.

3. Increased focus: Slowing down gives you the opportunity to really focus on the material and stay engaged in the reading process.

4. Reduced stress: Taking your time to read can help reduce the stress of trying to comprehend and remember large amounts of information quickly.

5. Improved enjoyment: The slower pace of reading can help you to appreciate the story or content more and make the reading experience more enjoyable.

Why do you think it doesn't make sense? In the worst case inventing AI before solving economic and political problems could potentially cause a massive societal collapse, hunger and/or poverty.

I think it makes perfect sense to get our act together before creating something that can be so potentially devastating, to reduce the likelihood of bad outcomes.

> foobar(9) prints "baloney" and foobar(10) prints "yam"

> change the function foobar so that foobar(9) also prints "yam"

It interpreted the prompt in the same way that I would, making foobar(9) only print "yam", but I guess I can see the interpretation where someone might think the prompt was asking to print both. It brings awareness to the effect of cultural bias in the training set and how that might require some people with different ways of speaking to add more clarification to get the output they want.

It doesn't sound like the CEO has necessarily stolen any money, just that he isn't using them to pay the bills and the board hasn't taken any action to fix the problem.

This problem can likely be solved by the board simply electing a new authorised signatory from their own ranks. Assuming anyone is still around who wants to take on such a role.

The fact that it hasn't happened (?) would suggest that the real problem is a general lack of interest from those involved, not just the CEO.
PFAS is not a single chemical. It's an entire family of chemicals and eliminating them destroys a lot of modern society as they're used for literally everything. There's basically no way they're all getting banned. Some of the worst are getting banned, but that's it.
You could start a poll to ask if anyone cares. I predict most HN users don’t give a second (or first!) thought about how polls compare to other social networks, because HN is not trying to be like them and that’s a feature.

Right, but price setting via market mechanisms is orthogonal to capital ownership.

I'm increasingly convinced that we should strive towards an impure market socialist system because control of large corporations that are more powerful than some countries really doesn't belong in private hands.

And I say impure because some amount of private ownership to capture entrepreneurial spirits is a good idea. But Fortune 500 companies aren't about entrepreneurial spirits.

The regional operator of the spoke flight from my local airport to the hub tried to change it to have a stopover at another airport, changing a ~1 hour flight to like 2.5 hours, with an hour sitting on the ground. The airport managed to reject the change.

I took that flight several times earlier in the year and it was always pretty close to capacity, so sort of hard to understand. I guess the most likely thing is that they were trying to eliminate the direct flight to the middle airport while maintaining service there, but screwing over the majority of your customers seems like a bad way to go about that.
