I uninstalled it today because I missed a work deadline because of it. I reinstalled it, to see the progress gone. Uninstalled it again.
I tried blinkist but it never stuck. I think long-form stuff is better for developing semantic memory. Sure you can get to the point quicker with shorter form content, but tends to be less sticky.

I haven't gone back to blinkist to try this but I think a way to build up semantic memory with blinkist would be listening to every single title in a specific category to go really deep on that one category. At that point you're doing the equivalent of reading a full length non-fiction book anyway, so you haven't saved time, but at least you could triangulate what the core ideas / themes are through the entire category and really get the lay of the land whilst also getting the core messages deeply ingrained.
I think Louis Rossmann said they'd worked on that bill for over 7 years, desperately trying to keep it from being compromised into oblivion. Then, on the eve of passage, the legislature amended away everything that mattered in it by adding an exception big enough to drive a... John Deere tractor through, and the governor (who was part of the process) quickly signed it into law. https://youtu.be/k9kXnm9uW5k . Keywords from the video: "Nicholas Cage Lord of War Supply Chain", "malicious compliance".
Do ‘propagation of error’ calculations invalidate projections of global warming?
> ChatGPT is trivially useful in a lot of cases

Spam?
So far, when asked what's the use case for ChatGPT/LLMs, the sole answer with clear PMF is marketing copy. Agree it is very good for that. Just as crypto had very clear PMF for cross-border payments and stablecoins in middle income countries without dollarized banking. The problem is neither of these use cases is sufficient to justify peak valuations. (OpenAI is currently raising at $30bn.)

Like crypto, there are other potential use cases on the horizon for LLMs. The problem is the tech is still far too clunky, unreliable and impractical for the foreseeable future. LLMs are subject to a devastating hallucination problem, where they confidently report clearly erroneous data. And there is no solution in sight. Marketing copy is one of the sole major use cases, where random inaccuracies is mostly not catastrophic. But you're never going to trust LLMs to write code or legal contracts or technical documentation or even your own emails until the hallucination issue is drastically improved.

That leaves us with a few other niches that are, frankly not very monetizable. ChatGPT is very good at writing student essays, but students don't have very much money to spend. Makes a fun chatbot, but people are unlikely to pay much of anything to have a chat companion.

Like crypto, AI is a case of really intellectually interesting technology that nerdsniped a lot of smart people. Like crypto, AI has a few small (in terms of market size) use cases where there's clear PMF. Like crypto, there are potentially a lot of other much larger use cases that the nerdsniped smart people are imagining. Like crypto, these large use cases are going to require a lot of fundamental improvements to the tech itself before they become feasible. Like crypto in 2021, AI valuations in 2023 are treating those large scale use cases as imminent rather than long-term speculative.

(Note this isn't a statement about which tech has a brighter long-term future. It's still more than possible to believe (as many on HN do) that AI will be transformative over the next couple decades and crypto is vapor. But the point is AI valuations are implying that it's going to be transformative over years not decades, and it's pretty clear that's not the case. There are parallels with crypto in 2021, where regardless of the long-term promise, the short-term returns simply cannot support the valuations.)
Violence is the only language the state knows.
Always thought Experian was a disgustingly juicy target and it was just a matter of time before something like this happened
Mass culture in the "west" (whatever that is, so let's just say US for the sake of the argument) absolutely gives Buddhism a pass, but it more or less gives anything that's not Christianity a pass. This is understandable since this culture is largely a post-Christian one.

I think on the left there is a tendency to explain away a lot of Islam's problems too, whereas on the right there is a tendency to exaggerate them. I'm not sure what else to make of This event at Hamline College.[1]

The whole Myanmar thing is quickly turned into a No True Scotsman conversation any time you bring it up.

It is not that simple. In many cases the money you receive from short selling is the collateral for your short position. You need to return the borrowed asset to get your collateral back.
According to wikipedia, maintenance cost was $300k per year. Quite a feat, owning it for so many years.
Yeah I know that part (but that also applies to email/sms based 2fa with passwords), no one is wasting a good sim cloning hookup on this particular service.
One of my favorites was an old one (I think 2013?) about "DollarCoin", a new cryptocurrency that is minted using a video of someone lighting a dollar bill on fire.
The main reason is "the mark of the devil", every time the US Federal Gov. wanted to issues ID Cards, that came up. Just look at the "Real ID" issues, but that is still not a useful ID for everyone.

Also if you look at your Social Security Card, it states "Not to be used for identification". But Companies, Univ and everyone ignored that because they wanted a Unique Number. Not may people realize the SSN is recycled as people die off.

I wish the US Gov would sue all Companies and Orgs that used the SSN for ID purposes for trillions and return that amount to people with Social Security Numbers.
The bill with a catchy name doesn't appear to apply to the government itself.
Yes, but... Wolf 1069B is much smaller and closer to its star than this one, so we probably couldn't observe it with Webb.
I would suppose whoever is being forced to terminate their employees is doing so under the threat of state violence (men with guns), but the employees being fired are not being threatened with any force, they're just losing their job.
Just in: We don't know what UFOs are [video]
Go since inception has always been well funded. It is authored by some of the biggest names in programming and they are on staff at Google. This is not a side hobby. Not sure why you're suggesting that Go is lacking in resources.
I find it hard to overhype the immense progress we had in the last two years in AI. All that hype is deserved.
just like everything else, styles/trends come and go in color correction. my least favorite was the flat/desaturated look. although, i still have my suspicions that came from someone uninformed/unfamiliar with color grading that the digital camera they shot on recorded the image flat in expectation someone would grade it later. (Recording flat helps preserves details in highlights/shadows.) i could then absolutely see some one else mimicking that as a style and the whole thing snowballed.

your examples GBU are less offensive to me than the desat look. however, i still agree that it's strange to change the whole look/feel of the movie. color grading is as much art as science, so no two people will do the same thing.

one film-to-HD project i was involved in used a colorist that would be considered a grey beard (only he was clean shaven). he "knows" film just from the decades of working with it. when he received the film for the HD transfer, he looked at what stock the film was, and then found reference film of the same stock. he then based the colors off of that reference. the director was taken aback by how in all of the years of this film being transferred by various people for various projects, this version was the closest to actual color he had wanted it to look. so just a fun story about how sometimes changes can be good vs keep it as it was. i guess as all things, intent matters
As long as the paranoia is about how nature is going to try and kill you at any chance it gets, sounds good to me!
Yup - Steam Deck convinced me that Linux is a viable gaming platform.
> anyone who isn't fetching their packages through Google's proxy will get told that whatever they're using is trying to trick them.

No, the error message you get is neutral about which side might be wrong - it says "verifying module: checksum mismatch" and "This download does NOT match the one reported by the checksum server." (I've seen it a lot because it also appears when module authors rebase, which a small but surprisingly high number do...)
Sadly no. And the 18 years of service isn't even enough to automatically pass the age gates...
Just thinking out loud: Do people following a checklist count as an automated decision making process?
Nearly the same thing happened to me. Except instead of the car missing me my brain told me perhaps from tornado safety training in school? If I dropped into the narrow V shaped drainage ditch so the car would pass over me I would live. It did and I did. I can still remember the tire passing inches over my face in slow motion as the car flew into the trees.

I was fine. The driver was some kid that stole their parents car. The kid seemed uninjured. The parents were I guess chasing them in another car as they arrived only a few seconds after the wreck.
> Going around a bend, I saw a car in the ditch on the outside of the curve. I stopped the car, put on the hazards, and went to see if there was anyone in the car. As I was about to cross the highway a car come sliding around the bend more or less sideways.

The lesson here is this: lightning strikes twice (frustratingly, the usual idiom is as wrong as can be). In other words, if you observe an outcome and have no other data whatsoever about the conditions that produced that outcome, it is safe to assume that the conditions continue to exist to allow the outcome to happen again.

In this case, the existence of a car that has spun out around a curve is the clue that cars will continue to spin out along that curve.
OpenAI has the answer for solving plagiarism issues it helped create
From the thread, the author states that spam/"marketing content creation" is the only viable area of application.

> This is consistent with the primary learning from the 2020-2021 class of GPT-3 startups (a category of startups willed into existence by VCs and powered by hype), which is that commercial use cases have been falling almost entirely into the marketing and copywriting niches.

Any reason you know why?

Either way, cool app so far!
Do they predict what percentage of trackers this continuous coke-filled click-fest will actually disable?
At least those boxes have possible resale value. And actually just keeping them unopened have not been bad monetary gains. Some of the oldest ones have stupid resale prices at this point.
> That sounds like someone who's great at API design, not a deep learning researcher.

Your point being, that a data science researcher or an academic would be better positioned to speak about DL products than one of the driving forces of two of the most widely used ML/DL libraries in the world, and an author of a seminal book on DL applications?
> Recent GPT/stable diffusion products universally blow people away with their output.

I see a lot more naysayers than you. While I am impressed, plenty are unconvinced.

(I really need to make time to test it against random standard written qualifications; if anyone has some example exams and marking schemes, in any language, please let me know. I have Polish maths, plus English and Irish school leaving certificates).
> We have to decide what population density (and economic order) we will live with.

What does that mean in this case, though? I don't want to put words in your mouth, but if you're saying we have to pick the density we're ok with, does that mean she just shouldn't exist?
> I got job offer and told recruiter to put in writing that my payroll data will not be released without a court subpoena.

Doesn't this kind of demand usually just result in you not getting the job?
The Elm guide is excellent: https://guide.elm-lang.org

Air filters are incapable of filtering out NO2.
I've found that ChatGPT makes outstanding summaries of famous self-help/non-fiction books. Particularly if you ask it to give you a 100 word summary of each chapter.
No. The Go team offered to add sourcehat to a list that would stop background refreshes. It would still allow fetches initiated by end users. The change sourcehat is making is to break end users unless they set some environment variables.

I've not seen any explanation about why the solution offered by the Go team was unacceptable. Its weird that that is completely left out of the blog post here.
Marketing advice from open source founders
To be fair- that is just about the only good one I have read.
The good things about books is they compel you to truly engage in an argument, an idea, a conception of the world. You can't opt out easily, and that means you ought to be focused. And that's incredibly important, because quality almost always mean quantity. Not only the amount of knowledge in the average book far surpasses 90% of what's on the web, but more importantly information does not come easy, and never has. If it's easy to digest, you most likely won't remember it, which essentially makes the whole thing a loss of time. Learning takes time and reflection. If you don't do either of these you're just consuming things on a surface level: you're losing the attention war waged against your brain.
Consider hiring an executive coach. Sometimes things we don't enjoy are opportunities for growth. I worked with one and it unlocked a lot of stuff for me.
What on Earth!? I just submitted Kyle Hills video on this early today to HN.

What an eery coincidence. I hope it's not a bad omen that I keep coming across this topic today...
Is this something other than Bazel (or the progenitor thereof)? If so, calling it an abomination compared to the unfinished go build system is rather strong.
Cool to see the archive history for it! 6,520 captures, back to December 1998, which just has a parking page on it: https://web.archive.org/web/19981206131432/http://www.gail.c...

EDIT: Oh neat, the FAQ's changed over the years too.

https://web.archive.org/web/20120119204931/http://gail.com/

Q: Gail, your website contains some pretty controversial stuff; aren't you worried about laws like SOPA being passed?

A: Yes, if SOPA passes, my little piece of the 'net could be blacklisted. This is why I urge you to please support the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who will fight to protect your rights from the corporations who seem to have Congress in their pocket. Here’s a link to the EFF’s website where you can learn more: http://eff.com

https://web.archive.org/web/20130102160945/http://gail.com/

Q: Why isn't there any content here?

A: All personal web content is hidden on back pages to conserve bandwidth.

Q: Wow, you have a great website, can you suggest others like yours?

A: Yes, here's one of my favorites: http://purple.com

Q: Gail, what is your take on the CISPA bill?

A: Like SOPA and PIPA before it, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) attempts to further errode our rights on the 'net. Also like SOPA and PIPA, we should do our best to inform ourselves and others, and kick this bit of evil to the curb before it can even come to a vote in Congress.

In short, CISPA is a very broad and loosly written law that allows any private company to give any and all data it has collected on you and give it to the government without any kind of judicial oversight. This is some seriously scary Orwellian stuff our own government is trying to implement, and it needs to be stopped.

To start educating yourself about what's going on, please read this great Wired article about the massive data center the NSA is building in Utah to house and data mine your personal data (e.g., telephone calls, e-mail, credit card charges, etc.) This article was written by James Bamford, who literally wrote the book about the NSA back in the early eighties. Once you've read the article, head over to the Democracy Now website and watch the interview with William Binney, who worked for the NSA for almost forty years and provided Mr. Bamford with some of the information for his article. Want to help do something about this knuckle-headedness? Head over to the Electronic Frontier Foundation website and learn how to help.

(Both the CISPA and SOPA questions are gone by 2014 and replaced with the EFF "ad".)

The current state aside from traffic numbers seems to have come in around 2018-19: https://web.archive.org/web/20190127034732/https://gail.com/
Well thats the thing is that any thelemite will tell you this, but in my view this is deception. Ultimately it boils down to the worship of self and grants you permission to dispense with any moral standard you wish, because youre following you "true will"
It's not about the speed, it's about proximity with other vehicles.

On AutoBahn stretches old M3s and Mercedes E190 are capable of 150 mph and they do absolutely floor it. The only risk it's mechanical failure or tyre blowing up.

I still mantain that for those looking for kinetic adrenaline the big Cigarette powerboats are better, even though they are slower than cars you are essentially always surrounded by nothing and the feeling is more intense (even though they are slower than cars) because you are in the wind yourself and the jumping on the waves makes it seems even more kinetic.
Interesting, I didn't love the new Avatar but I thought it was much better paced and directed than a Marvel or superhero movie. Shots lingered and showed more emotion than the current crop of action / fantasy movies (Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers).
Sure, but much fewer than in earlier times. There’s a reason the British liked to ship people off to America, Australia, etc.

I’d suggesting googling the term “enclosure”, specifically with regard to England. Similar issues and conflicts happened in other places.

The progression/transformation was not quick, cheap or without significant conflict.
Part of the problem is that existing ISAs have been (and still are) underspecified. At best software was software was written against observed implementation behaviour. More commonly software wasn't written against any (formal) specification from simple things like is shifting by a variable number of bits a constant time operation, to nastier things like does the latency of multiplication leak the magnitude or hamming weight all the way to does the the implementation speculate past permission checks and leak observable state changes left behind by speculative memory accesses. Most instruction sets don't specify the presence and absence of side channels. RISC-V is in a better position than most other ISAs to fix this "oversight".
There are still going to be time and effort costs involved in scaling that infrastructure as your log volume increases
> dissolution of the corporation

Corporations are a legal fiction. What does dissolving the corporation mean? Revoking its charter? Then what happens to its assets? If you return them to shareholders, you’ve given a boon to its wealthiest, who can now re-organise it free of prior liabilities. If you liquidate them, you’ve delivered a junior fine, since with real fines the fine gets paid before creditors. If you take it, you’ve expropriated (also, fines with extra steps).

In every case, what you want from a “corporate death penalty” is better effected with actual penalties. A market-cap sized fine is more specific and more actionable than a “corporate death penalty,” which is why I suspect the latter is in circulation.
It’s strange I’ve never considered them horror movies whatsoever. Just pure sci-fi.
> personal penalties for the exec teams.

Yes, but the penalties have to be such that the exec does not simply view it as "cost of doing business" and mark it down as a business expense.
As somebody in Data Science/Predictive Modeling, it's almost entirely useless to read blog posts unless they come from some stellar blogger like say Andrew Gelman. Do a search on any topic, you get a ludicrous list of 'Towards Data Science' posts from kids who learned maybe 30% of what they're talking about over the course of writing the article. Books for me, thanks.
Yep, a shallow clone is enough to get the latest version. And you can even filter the tree to make the download size even smaller given you only want the hash but not the contents (if the git server supports this feature)

A checkout with this can literally clone nothing but hash

git clone --depth=1 --filter=tree:0 --no-checkout https://xxxx/repo.git
cd repo
git log
Running 5-6 burners concurrently is definitely a bit of a niche case, and would probably justify the higher amperage socket. But it's important to note that it's niche, most folks won't use more than 2.
From https://meatfighter.com/tetromino-computer/input-language.ht...

> In practice, IL programs direct the agent to construct a pile near the origin that progressively grows taller and wider. That being the case, it can work with a Tetris implementation that defines “row infinity” as a finite row whose index increases as a function of the number of spawns. In such an implementation, the agent emulates a semihard drop with a finite number of soft drops.
The supply chain issues seems to be resolving, just before the holiday season I got myself a RTX 3060 from bestbuy at MSRP.
The theory is that, _once it becomes policy and happens a couple of times_, employees will pay attention to what their company is doing, and get out if they think they're in danger. It aligns individual morality with self interest, and will crater a company that starts sliding towards dissolution.

Thus actual enforcement becomes almost a non-issue.

I'm not sure I buy that the janitorial staff is supposed to keep up on the dark patterns in the sign up page, but that's the theory.
Funny story:

Rocket mortgage fraudulantly tanked our credit score and refused to fix it. The other bank's underwriting department looked at it, shrugged, and honored the mortgage office's request for an override to give us the best available rate.

IMO, Credit ratings are theater.
