"Oh, power consumption? Totally on our radar... what if we switch to Proof of Work?

Personally, I don't think power consumption is the only legitimate argument against the application of GPT. There's the fact that it's proprietary, unreliable and even consistently wrong on certain topics. It's expensive to apply at-scale and most AI-generated text sounds sterile and impersonal. Even now, after years of development, GPT is too unreliable to be called anything other than a novelty.

The dream of a "suitable application" for AI is like the dream of a "suitable application" for the blockchain. Both are technology-first solutions to social problems. Cool in concept, but regularly broken in execution.

>> But only those that users liked and retweeted ended up circulating, which contributed to a strange spread between a users' expectations and experiences they had when first talking to chatGPT.

Which is exactly what makes this so dangerous. In our current culture, only those voices that are promoted and amplified by social media matter. So a tech than can produce material in industrial quantities, even if most of it is tripe, could be a powerful manipulation tool. It will certainly be cheaper than hiring flesh-and-blood people for man a troll farm.
Now I wonder why wasn't it glued, packed or something in larger material. I think there should be something light and relatively non-opaque for radiation.
If you can explain the logic by which 臭, composed of 自 (self) and 大 (big), can come to mean “smelly”, or 義, composed of 𦍌/羊 (ram, sheep) and 我 (I, we, our), can come to mean “justice” or “meaning”, then you have found the Sinitic Holy Grail that people have spent at least a couple of millennia searching for.

Some characters are moderately logical. A tree, 木, begets a wood, 林, and a forest, 森。日, sun, in triplicate, 晶, is a crystal or glittering. But these are very much the exceptions. By what logic would you create a character for a whale (鯨) as distinct from a salmon (鮭), or for abstract concepts like government (政) or crime (罪)?
Agreed! That's why we have the saying of something being "ahead of its time", an idea that failed at its time but later succeeded when circumstances were more favourable.

the current issues of C++ are entirely caused by the people who controlled or let's say hijacked that once pretty cool language. I don't know how to address the issue without attacking those hijackers.

but I totally get what you mean. here is my proposal - people should all stop using this legacy language, let's write it off, depreciate C++ in 2023 sounds a very good move to me.
Yep, definitely comparable scenarios.

I think it is. Pakastan can create whatever laws fit its culture. I would never dare to imagine imposing my values or beliefs on them. They should create their own Wiki alternative and make it popular within their nation.

Its a Brit's concise explanation of a major social phenomenon. It can also be more academically explained, but it would require a longer discussion. That Brit's simple summary is the best I have ever seen in putting a lot of words into those few paragraphs.

> The "broader segment" as opposed to the genuine aristocrats - this seems like the natural working of society as it re-segments imperfectly

Privileged segments tend to form in every given society due to inequal dynamics. However, this is different from the system being set up in that direction. The UK is still an aristocracy, with royals with actual power...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jan/14/secret-papers-roy...

...unelected, hereditary, aristocratic house of lords having de facto veto power through the power to send back bills to the parliament an infinite times, and the FPTP system. The Toff-producing public schools just feed this system.

> Maybe it's France, which was contrasted earlier with the UK

Yes, compared to the UK, France is much more egalitarian for a simple reason: The French Revolution originated in France, whereas it was never able to reach Britain. Hence, whereas the French Revolution and its Napoleonic aftermath wiped out entire Europe from the hereditary aristocratic houses and the power structures that kept in place (even with Napoleon's !appointed! psuedo-aristocracy), the medieval aristocracy lived on without interruptions in Britain.

This is the major reason why the UK still keeps not only these aristocratic power structures, but an undisrupted, entitled aristocracy that still has its late medieval mindset.

As I said, this is a gigantic history and political science topic. Also mixes in sociology, inevitably.
It’s like they want to enforce letter writing after the invention of email, or horse-drawn carriages instead of cars, or in-person work instead of videoconferencing from anywhere.

All because of some romantic notion about some essential element being lost.

Luckily this stance makes it very easy to identify and isolate the old guard. I should add that some kinds of engineering has to be on site due to it revolving around rockets or factories or mines or construction sites. But for IT, huge red flag.

So the presence of the khugepaged task in the process list gives users something to blame, but it sounds like this person’s system was just out of memory and was trying to do direct reclaim in that task. The use of ZFS is sort of a red flag. That thing is full of leaks.

In future cases it would be useful to look at the stats in /sys to see what it is doing. Under non-OOM conditions it’s not easy for it to use a lot of CPU because it defaults to scanning only small runs of pages and waiting ten seconds between scans.

I've done 2 factory jobs in my teens. One I was making pillows and the other books, magazines, papers etc (this was late 90s, early 00s).

I also did retail (at a department store) and door to door sales (children's books).

By far, the most soul crushing and difficult were the factory ones. 7.30am-3pm, Mon-Fri. If I wasn't at work I was either too tired to do anything, or sleeping having nightmares about the job.

However, the nicest, friendliest, and most helpful people I had ever worked with (incl. later in life as a software engineer), were the ones working at those factories. They had a unique mentality that really helped me see things differently.

Nobody uses versioning to work on document. It is too annoying and merge barely works if at all anyway. Trying to convince people to put work in progress document in a DMS is a lost battle. Sharepoint via Teams might happen but that's stricly for the shared folders and cooperative edition functionality.

A DMS is very good for storing reference documents however.

The only company I worked for where DMS was really successful, there was someone in charge of managing it full time. The only documents which could go in had to have been reviewed and signed by the relevant persons. Documents were considered as not existing unless they were in the DMS and producing said documents was a significant part of our objectives as they were contractually mandated by our customers.

This had the nice side effect of making retrieving documents very easy.
From the "Significance Statement":

> Prior research, often using self-report data, hypothesizes that the path to expertise requires extensive practice and that different learners acquire competence at different rates. Fitting cognitive and statistical growth models to 27 datasets involving observations of learning and performance in academic settings, we find evidence for the first hypothesis and against the second. Students do need extensive practice, about 7 opportunities per component of knowledge. Students do not show substantial differences in their rate of learning.

If it were the case, there would be no society with drugs and polyamory. Yet there are mormons, muslims, alchohol and cigarets.

What you call anti-social, some other group call it life. And vice versa.

A christian taboo or an american indulgence is not a universal construct. The same construct is not event stable throught time and extremely diverse and functioning social configurations have existed along history. Also, there is such thing as one that was so good that it lasted forever. No reference point to consider a standard.

However, they are local norms and ignoring them will cause contextual mismatch. So indeed, an austistic person may fail to appreciate this and only see the arbitrary aspect of it, and cause trouble.

That's an unreasonable presumption.

Deduplication, to the best of my knowledge, requires every image be compared to every other image. This is necessarily O(n^2) on n images.

IIRC the training set is 2.3 billion images, if so that's 0.5 * 5.29e18 comparisons[0], which, if done by humans, would require employing literally all humans for approximately a year even if we compared 12 images per second 24/7.

This has to be done computationally, not by humans.

It depends on what emits light in your monitor. Backlight (led/fluorescent tube)? OLED? Electron fluorescense in CRTs? Quantum fots?

Usually red emission is wanted close to red cone sensitivity peak (actually a bit redder than that, as green cones are quite close). So about 600 to 650 nm.
It will prevent VCs from investing in a similar company, and without VCs we won't have enough money to do massive training like SD. The community will keep fine-tuning the original SD, sure, but there won't be SD 3.0.

Of course then a company in China (or other countries that are rich enough but don't care the U.S. lawsuits enough) will make a better SD 3.0.
You are right about the moral aspect, it does undermine my case.

But I do think that 90% of the "benefits" of Prime are things that people would only think are valuable in the context of a press release. None of it is going to make up for the loss of 2-day shipping, which is unique I think because it adds value to AMZN's core service.

There was a time when AMZN operated at a loss to grow market share, that was a time when it was really preferable to other retailers. There was a time when AMZN was the first retailer I would look to to buy something online. Over the last three years it gradually became the last. Today it is more like: I go to Best Buy in person, see the part I want is not in stock, I order it from AMZN, get it from AMZN, go back to Best Buy, see it is in stock at Best Buy, I buy it at Best Buy (which doesn't redline my community with substandard service) and I return to AMZN.

I have never been that way before and would never do it to another retailer but after suffering the insult of losing two-day shipping right after AMZN boasted that people in some anointed ZIP codes would be getting faster shipping, AMZN is at the bottom of my list. It is a policy that is penny wise and pound foolish because I am sure thousands of people have read my complaints on the topic and I am sure I've helped at least one other person quit. Some industries are senescent and ripe for disruption, but there is a long line of retailers that want the dollars that AMZN is chasing.
So, like Twitter with a slight twist on how the feed works?

Took me years to find out how they're scamming me on the conversion charges/exchange rate.

Say you want to buy product in USD, and you come from non-USA country. Paypal would "helpfully" convert USD to your local currency using their own exchange rate (worse than any other one - goes without saying), charge the linked bank account (which probably is in USD anyway, to avoid paying for conversion fees), then the local bank would charge you again by converting the payment from the local currency to say USD because the account is in USD. Those practices probably cost me thousands over the years until I've figured out what was happening.

I've turned on the option (intentionally buried and difficult to find) that tells Paypal to charge me in the currency I've was purchasing (USD), and not to do the conversion. But the fuckers had a habit of flipping that option so you're caught off guard. Needless to say, been Paypal-free for years now. One can imagine how much Paypal and banks profit from this scammy/dark-pattern behaviour on a global scale.
