> it is amusing that you are describing a game that could likely run on 10 year old hardware without any issue.

That really has no relation to the inherent problem of cloud gaming: latency. In fact, an Apple II can have better latency than a modern computer! [1]

And as a counterpoint to Celeste, they recently released their toy/testing game "The Worm Game" as a sort of parting gift, and I was shocked at the latency on that, where I had to really anticipate turning the snake. It was a completely different experience, and had I tried that first I never would've believed in the platform.

As far as I know, the Industrial Revolution started with coal mining. As shafts got deeper there was a need to pump in water and air, and then to lift product out. These steam engines at the site could run on low quality coal allowing all of the good stuff to be sold. The Industrial Revolution really started with these mines in the UK.

As regards slavery and other factors, once the steam engines were invented and began making the companies who owned them more productive, human labor was outcompeted. Slave labor is not free as humans are quite expensive in food, water, shelter, medical care, and support for these things. Humans also require rest, and restrooms. Given that humans prefer not be enslaved, there’s also a cost to capture. Once an economic replacement for slavery and/or indentured servitude is available, these practices tend to disappear. Even animal labor usually disappears when machines are available, as animals require the same basic care that machines do not. In the USA, slavery hung around longer than it did in Europe largely due to reward for the capture of runaways provided by government, as well as a late start to industrialization.
This is really great, thank you. I would love to see a real "from scratch" that doesn't use torch.py et. al., though.

Your instincts are incorrect, "commonest" is a valid word and it's being used correctly in the title of this article.

> If full AGI is ever created then there's no telling what its thoughts and motivations will be.

That is why it poses the greatest threat to humankind in history. If we develop a fully self-aware mechanical being, commonly known as AGI, that is orders of magnitude more intelligent than us, lacks empathy, and operates solely on logic, there is a high probability that it will view the human race as a threat. In its eyes, we would be unpredictable, low-intelligence parasites constantly acting illogically due to our emotions and wasting resources in pursuit of elevating our dopamine levels.

I'd say the best part of the trackpoint is not having to move a hand away from my keyboard. I might still have a mouse connected, but 90% of the time I'll still prefer the trackpoint because of how convenient it is. Even on devices with a trackpad too, I'd primarily use the trackpoint unless I needed something like easy scrolling or quick swiping.

That's interesting. I have figured that out on my own and self medicate by eating a lot of bananas which has helped a ton. I also found taking magnesium also helped. I should really check for hyperaldosteronism which I have always suspected but like you was always steered towards bp medication and got eye rolls if I tried to engage in a educated conversation about the topic.
I’ve also seen and been impressed with the opposite. I think the singer, Jimmy Buffet, is a really good example. He created a few albums that became hits (or sleeper hits maybe) and then he rode the wave well into retirement. In a way, he did quit, I guess. For years he didn’t make new songs, just singing and merchandising the ones that were hits. I have a lot of respect for someone who took a single album hit and turned it into a life-long career.

I realize that I may be mistaken about his career. Maybe he continued to make songs, but this is what his career feels like to me.

Edit: I changed the word “money” to “songs”, which was my original intent. I realize he’s merchandised those early songs into an amazing franchise.

I’ve been to two Jimmy Buffet concerts in Vegas and will be at a third in a couple months. Parrotheads are crazy.

People opening doors onto bike lanes without checking, impaired drivers, trucks with blind spots, all of these things are definitely stuff I'd rather have a helmet upon encountering the worst side of than not while riding on a modern road on a vehicle which doesn't have a huge case around it already.

I think if you're maybe in one of those exceptionally bike-friendly places like Amsterdam that these hazards may be mitigated enough, but at least in the Americas people are actively hostile towards bike riders on the road and I think it's just a matter of civil infrastructure planning more than anything in terms of that sentiment.
I meant to say "die due to lack of helmet as the only factor". They die because they are hit by cars.
Ask HN: Use cases for fine tuning GPT-3?

I think your problem with these models may be that ChatGPT has effectively reached the equivalent of the "uncanny valley" for language. It is not real, but it is also too close to the real thing to recognise that fact immediately. It could be real, but not quite.

When was the last time you tried OpenSUSE? Both distributions of OpenSUSE with GNOME now use Wayland by default. As for KDE unfortunately it still needs a bit of time for Wayland sessions to be more stable. They are perfectly usable now, but face potentially more headaches comapred to GNOME Wayland sessions.

As for Chinese input, fcitx + google pinyin worked just fine on Manjaro KDE for me. Word prediction isn't very good but it's generally usable. For more details see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fcitx

Is the caffeine effect reproducible with tea or just coffee/energy drinks?
I think it's more that it fills in gaps without regard to meaning. If it can't find an argument/explanation/etc. that contains the nouns and verbs (i.e. the substance) of what it's being prompted with, it will happily manufacture that content out of completely unrelated sentences that are similar in structure.

It isn't that it's imitating liars any more than Stable Diffusion is imitating photographs of people with faces growing out of their crotches or eight arms. Very convincingly 3D horrific imagery in Stable Diffusion is the equivalent of confident lying in ChatGPT.

Although I don't want to trivialize any of these deaths, I think it's important to note that the elderly (especially people over 70) are overrepresented in these statistics: https://opendata.cbs.nl/#/CBS/nl/dataset/71936ned/table?dl=7...

In my opinion, it's great (and in general very healthy) that the elderly are still biking a lot in the Netherlands. However, it does seem that it's a bit riskier for them than for the general population.
Setting aside intentional liars, there is a chance that you can demonstrate to someone why they are misinformed.

If someone was as consistently wrong as chatgtp is, you quickly learn to ignore them and move on with your life.

We haven't yet moved on from the novelty of a machine which bullshits with the confidence of a professional hustler. Like a codependent partner, we think we can fix them if only we stay with it (based on how many people celebrate it as the thing that will kill Google search, school essays, etc).

The state government has ruled that since they sell alcohol for consumption on premises, as part of their license that allows them to do that requires that they not ban patrons from the establishment, specifically, "groups or individuals cannot be excluded on the basis of criteria that are not directly related to the your duties under your [liquor] license."

If the city would get serious and simply say, "stop banning these people or stop selling alcohol", that would be the end of it.
They both have their strengths. I prefer KDE on desktops with larger monitors while GNOME feels very clean and uncluttered on laptop screens.

This is how I broke my hip, it was so fast I couldn't even get my feet out of the pedals.

I've been riding my bike for 50 years and I wear a helmet when I feel like it could potentially help but most of the time I don't. Statistically what I do makes no sense at all but wearing a helmet is enough of an annoyance that I only do it in specific situations.

Interestingly it’s not the opposite of conservative. It shares a lot of conservatism’s intolerance in some ways.

Ayan Hirsi Ali, who grew up witnessing the transformation of her culture from open and liberal to one stifled and strictly controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, says that she sees in the growing woke phenomenon the same oppressive progression that horrified her with the cultural change of her youth.

Apple claimed during WWDC ‘22 that 79% of U.S. buyers would only buy a car if it was “CarPlay-capable”. Biased source, sure, but the data indicates most consumers value music, maps, and voice assistant in their cars and the manufacturers are responding with about 98% of new cars supporting them.
> Mind you, this is not the same liberal politics from a few decades ago.

Might it be that those who occupy the left-of-centre political space hold more nuanced and varied positions than the sort of monolithic bloc that you would have readers believe? Yes, at both poles of the political axis there are those who strive to impose their own purity tests - whether it’s over pronouns, or guns, or immigration, or the proper lexicon to use, or marriage rights or whatever. But the rest of us can unbundle and reassemble policy positions for ourselves. I would hope this is true on the left and the right. But maybe it’s misplaced hope…
It will affect cross-platform extensions that need to migrate to Manifest V3 this year. Some projects will be forced to stay on Manifest V2 just for Firefox, substantially increasing development cost because of the need to maintain both MV2 and MV3 versions across platforms, or abandon a substantial part of Firefox users and only support the most recent browser version, assuming that a fix is even implemented in the browser.

Regarding your edit, I have not demanded anything, but asked if it would be possible to delay the release, for all the discussed reasons. For which I have received a non-answer, "it has already been merged" is not a valid reason for not correcting a mistake, and asking people to invest even more of their time in this and repeat what has already been discussed in a new bug report was just the last drop that made the lack of respect for other people's time obvious.

My favorite math class (undergrad) was a new course one professor wanted to offer for seniors. He called it Math Seminar, and each week we were handed a set of problems chosen from abstract algebra, real analysis, topology, or number theory. Each student chose a problem and a day to present their solution next week. All class time was spent on presentations and questions to the presenters. IIRC, not finding the solution wasn't a big enough penalty to fail, as long as the professor thought you researched it and tried multiple approaches.

I have fond memories of nights at a local bar, working through a problem.
"Woke" as used by conservatives now more or less just means that when you're an asshole in public that someone might actually call you on it.

AIs produced by companies who want to sell to the general public will want them to generally not be acting like assholes.

I've been an avid cyclist for 50 years, am a daily year-round bike commuter in a mid sized city in the Midwest, and use my bike for both transportation and recreation.

"Single minded devotion to the helmet" makes for engaging controversy, but it isn't what I observe out here in the trenches. People wear helmets, but they almost always choose routes with less car traffic when possible. In my opinion, route choice is probably the single most important cycling safety measure. What it suggests to me is that real riders are actually making pretty good safety choices.

As a sometimes frequent cyclist, I'm hoping a helmet is going to protect me from solo accidents more than car v bike; better bike infrastructure isn't going to help much with solo accidents (although it would eliminate trolley rail v bike, so there's one). Actually, if there was better infrastructure, I'd probably be able to travel at higher speed, and therefore have more danger in solo accidents.

Making me ride on the shitty pavement at the edge of the road, and watch out for cars everywhere slows me down, and reduces my danger. :P

In car v bike, a helmet may or may not help, I'm definitely going to lose, either way. Thankfully, I've never had a car v bike, but I've had plenty of solo crashes, although I think I've been lucky enough not to hit my head.

> data seems to indicate that helmet mandates go so far as to make all bikers less safe

The only mention I saw of this in the article is a study where the cyclist wearing a helmet had a shorter average distance between bike and car than when not wearing a helmet.

Do you have another source, or are we going to base legislation on one study by one individual in one city?
I remember reading a decade old analysis for this scenario and JP shipping costs went up like ~10%, or some fairly marginal number. For years (like 2005-2015), entire JP shipping was threatened because PRC successfully took over TW narrative specifically overlooking the obvious to build up the PRC threat. Now to be fair, within the last 5 years, PLA capabilities have gotten to the point where the threat is legitimate, irrespective of TW ownership. PLAN ships now regularly operate east of TW so reroutes would have to be further, meanwhile PLA rocket force can destroy JP critical infra purely from the mainland and turn island nation reliant on calorie or energy imports to Yemen.

The TLDR is currently US/JP military has capability to ward off an maritime invasion, but no capability to actually "defend" TW, or JP, or SKR from existing as developed economies. Ergo best avoid the fight, because if JP has to politically pick between preventing a TW invasion by hosting US forces, or become Yemen (let's face it PRC still has grudges), then that's likely how US/JP security alliance may fracture. Alternatively, US loses so much hardware it can no longer support JP long term even if wanted to. It isn't so much losing TW means losing JP as merely fighting large war over TW could lose JP.

You mean, I think, that it fails to improve it in the way you would like. Or are you actually asserting that making people wear helmets actually reduces safety?

I'm a native English speaker and one thing that helped me with other languages (let's say French) was the simple-in-retrospect idea of trying to speak French with a French accent. I.e. I know what French-accented English sounds like and I can imitate it, but it was sort of an epiphany to realize that the accent came from native French pronunciation habits. So if I pronounced French words with that same accent, rather than sounding silly and affected, it sounded like was supposed to.

My French is pretty limited but native speakers have told me that my pronunciation is good. I credit it to this one simple trick. To use it for English though, I guess it helps to have encountered native English speakers trying to speak your language, so you know what their accent is like.

Other than that, I guess it could help to work with a coach with ESL training, maybe for an hour per week or whatever. I'm sure you can find someone on Craigslist like that.
