> Today I have zero confidence in chatGPT, OR my ability to evaluate and correct it's inaccuracies strictly from within its interface.

Definitely not within chatgpt itself.
I was using chatgpt recently for the first time and came to the conclusion to take its output with the weight of a trusted friend.
I was asking questions on topics I had genuine curiousity about and that I didnt know the answer, and it led me to some information that I thought interesting, so I wanted to know more. Thats where I turned to my fav search engine and looked into, continuing my session with chatgpt to clear passages it spat. It steered me in a direction I didnt know existed, and I used the internet to verify the information and acquire me detail.
Yesterday I tried out asking it for help on a coding project, and it introduced me to a helpful package I didnt know about, but the code it suggested using didnt actually work and was riddled with errors as I tried to use it in the way it suggested. I would have been blown away if it worked, so this was no big deal. I think I would have been faster just using stackexchange though.

> So today I don't see it replacing search engine for me.

I will continue to use the resources I already use to find respective authenticatable information, but I do think it is still useful for those things where I have no idea where to begin, so it can set me in a direction where resources already exist.
From what I recall it was more that some people (not sure if they were students) were feeling harassed by his behaviour.
> It seemed to me like the actual problem was not intolerance of free expression per se, but rather that the administration had adopted a position of submission with respect to student activism.

Contrast this "capitulation" to activism to, say, UC's lengthy reluctance to capitulate to the grad student union's wage demands. Even more instructive: compare it to UC Davis' outright refusal to allow a handful of students to camp out on a grassy area in front of the dining hall on a Friday.

Student activists barely have sufficient solidarity and numbers to successfully demand something as universally desired as a higher wages. And they didn't have sufficient leverage to even complete a successful sit-in at Davis (and similar "occupy" groups got easily shut down at other universities).

Yet in your assessment, there are enough students in lock-step against free speech to terrify the admin into working against its own professed principles. How did that organizing prowess happen-- seemingly without any struggle-- in the latter case but not in the former cases? This doesn't pass the smell test IMO.

Alternative explanation: an administration vastly prefers less chance of unpredictable controversy over a dissident speaker, less chance of run-ins between dissident students and law enforcement, less chance of lawsuits over a prof's material, etc. It's not capitulating-- rather, the admin would naturally support any student move that limits the kind of speech that could potentially cause problems for the university.

If it were my first day fresh out of college admin boot camp, that's the first thing I would do to try to rise up the ranks. It's a no-brainer.
Can anyone say what this section means in practice?:

>A commitment to free expression includes hearing and hosting speakers, including those whose views or opinions may not be shared by many members of the MIT community and may be harmful to some. This commitment includes the freedom to criticize and peacefully protest speakers to whom one may object, but it does not extend to suppressing or restricting such speakers from expressing their views.

I'm interested in hearing how the process for selecting speakers currently works, as well as how the signatories would like it to be changed. If a single faculty member wishes to invite a speaker, does that give that speaker the right to talk in an official capacity? What if a speaker has no support on campus? Are they entitled to be hosted by MIT? If not, are they being 'restricted from expressing their views'?

Your example is too simple, GoLang is easy to learn and use, that was one of its design objectives. A professional SW Engineer can be proficient in the language in couple of days.

Given limited battery production capabilities and expected lithium shortages, you can save a lot more emissions by pushing people towards plug-in hybrids than pure EV. IIRC, high battery costs mean that plug-in hybrids are cheaper to manufacture too, allowing better market saturation.

That's actually kind of nice to hear - I'm self-taught when it comes to typing (having to get chat messages out fast in StarCraft online multiplayer waaaay back), and naturally fell into a style that kind-of hovers my hands on the edges of the keyboard, using my shoulders and elbows to push my hands inwards when the center keys are needed. Relevant to the topic: Pinky on ctrl requires no twisting, just bending the finger down.

Whenever people (mostly co-workers) realize how I type, they almost always think it's kinda crazy, since I can hit keys without feeling from the home row..

Definitely not a wildcard, such things are not allowed. You can fetch at evaluation time with the built-in fetchers (builtins.fetchgit, builtins.fetchTarball, etc) and not provide a hash, which makes the expression "impure", which means the expression wouldn't be acceptable in nixpkgs and it has consequences for flakes.

It is ridiculously expensive, not transparent about the costs which could be coming your way and you need a shitload of components to get by.
just get some fixed price machine at some shitty provider and see how it goes, if you need a bigger one, just by a bigger machine. And if you outgrow that it might be a reasonable idea to just rent some colo space and calculate the upfront costs against a small server you build yourself. an intel nuc with 16gb memory and 4 cores is about 200$ and draws nothing in power. buy 2 connect them direct and hook them up to the colo provider. unlimited fiber and there you go.
AWS is such a joke
> I want a ‘pure’ keyword. Any function that is pure can only call functions that are also keyworded as pure. No side effects, guaranteed.

It's better to default to the best practice. What you should wish is for an `impure` keyword and then all impure functions that are not marked as such would raise a compiler warning.
Yes, but in specific quantities, no? Manually depositing them on the surface after extraction would still disrupt the system’s balance.

The idea seems to be to not burn the 'oil', instead to just use it as a 'carrier' for the hydrogen, which then is released from the oil when needed.

While the 'used' oil is being stored, to be 'reloaded' with hydrogen by whichever means.

So the 'carrier-oil-component' is the reusable thing here.

All while being able to be handled, stored, transported similar to diesel.

Supposedly.

Bulgaria has single payer health care, it's to the left of most leftist states in the USA.

And it's funny you recognize the usage of "woke" as problematic, but you still use it.

All of that are universal in Europe while most of it is completely lacking, as I said in even the most "liberal" parts of the US.

Confusing policy (what matters) with social media arguments about what a woman is defined as is a distraction. It's meant to divide people that otherwise agree. Don't play into that game.

I've read that YouTube algo no longer depends on Title/Desc/Tags, but in addition basically "Watches" your video.

This might be an honest question, I dunno. The downvotes seem to suggest that most people didn't take it that way. Probably because it sounds a lot like tired old arguments that miners in the 19th century trotted out, when in reality they left behind toxic lakes and wastelands where there were once flourishing forests.

> Even then though the 12 tone scale is an interpretation of tonality from western music

I hear this a lot, but this is a pretty uncharitable description of the 12-tone scale. The 12-tone scale is pretty easy to derive from first principles - the only non-mathematically-"obvious" part is the weird behavior of the multiplicative group generated by 2^(1/12) approximating lots of low-entropy rational numbers. The rest of it (identifying integer powers of 2, group properties of C12, etc) are relatively "obvious" to justify mathematically/physically. It's not just "what western people are used to" or something like that.

> "Just get 1000 true fans" downplays the difficulty.

While I agree it downplays the difficulty, I think the point is you shouldn't be focusing on getting millions of followers, which most people assume is the goal.

You don't need a million followers (or more), you just need some (about 1000) who really care about you and your products/services.
Recoil. It works well, I was new to React and just use React state vars, but there's too much complexity that builds up over time.

It’s a fairly simple dict lookup. The same lookup would happen when you use something from that module, so it’s fairly insignificant in the grand scheme.

Besides, it’s Python. It’s not going to be super fast anyway. That extra check is never going to show up on a perf trace.

Zustand is great: https://github.com/pmndrs/zustand

It gets out of the way in terms of boilerplate, has a good solution for avoiding unnecessary re-renders, has tooling for deep state updates without messy syntax (immer) and strikes an overall good balance between powerful and easy to use. Cons might be that it is a bit more obscure so people might have to learn it. Also the learning curve is a bit steep. YMMV

That makes sense. The only thing about gpt that impressed me was when I asked it to condense an answer into one sentence, it was able to do it.

Other than that it betrayed no understanding of the material. It rather resembled a high school kid who had read a few too many books and spouted platitudes about any and all subjects without being aware of what was really going on.
It’s actually 99.8%. Yes, prosecutorial discretion can account for much of that, but you don’t get to 99.8% without something in the system being broken. Not all cases are cut and dry, some cases should go to trial and fail. 99.8% stretches credulity beyond reason. Japan is under criticism from human rights organizations for forced confessions, due to being able to interrogate suspects for weeks without them allowed to contact family or a lawyer. There is no right to remain silent. Even with the rights granted to suspects in the USA, forced confessions are common. In comparison, Japanese suspects don’t have a chance.

> And yet the crisis hasn’t happened. Why is that?

I used to think this, too (and this is coming from someone who worked at an antibiotic drug-discovery startup in the early 2000s).

I think it's not that there will be a comprehensive event in which "this bacterial pathogen is now unassailable by any antibiotic in our arsenal."

It's more that, if you are on the front lines of a hospital, you'll come across many (but not all!) patients with bacterial infections for whom antibiotics won't work.

If you are an MD with enough of those types of patients, it will fuck with your decision making process. It will also cause a lot of prolonged health issues as well as death. It just won't be a wall-to-wall comprehensive type of antibiotic resistance.
The only candidate to be fundamental that you mentioned is a business object (I guess you mean the same thing as an aggregate in DDD jargon).

My argument isn't that I tried it and it didn't work, my argument is that an LLM alone fundamentally cannot work for reliable information retrieval.

Producing hallucinations or not isn't just a setting you can tweak in the model. The entire function of GPT-3 is to guess the next word from the words that came before. It's a hallucination machine that has been trained on so much real-world data and has such a large parameter set that for commonly known and discussed information it does a remarkably good job at creating factual sentences. But as soon as you get out into territory that it doesn't have memorized, it will do the next best thing and produce credible-sounding new material that may or may not be complete nonsense. Again, this isn't a setting you can tune, it's just what a transformer does. It models human language, not all of human cognition.

Typing is very surface level though and doesn’t negate what the person you’re replying to is saying: Python is über dynamic.

It’s very trivial to have something pass the type hinting checks, but be completely different at time of use. Even if you hold on to a single instance of an object, it’s easy for any thing to monkey patch it.
The WorldWideWeb (Tim Berner Lee’s first web browser) was both a browser and editor. Also, most browser precursors that preceded it did not differentiate between consumer and author.

Well this is unfair because we haven’t given natural intelligence a chance yet.

The biggest issue is that M1 is undocumented Apple Silicon. It has to be fully reverse engineered, primarily by the Asahi Linux team.
