yes apologies glargine was approved in 2000. And I agree it does take a while for doctors to switch. Something interesting that I have recently learned is that it may even be hard to find clinical trial participants because doctors will be hesitant to take patients who have good reactions to their current insulin off of that insulin to be a part of a clinical trial.

I will also say that Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) also have a lot of power when it comes to influencing doctors to begin prescribing new drugs.
Thank goodness for Pale Moon & the UXP.

There's not enough data to say whether or not the efficacy has dropped off. EPIC-SR is a different patient population, and Pfizer hasn't released data for the primary endpoint in EPIC-SR of symptom relief. For the secondary endpoint of hospitalization or death, they got about a 50% reduction, but it's not significant, because the numbers were 5 hospitalizations or deaths in the treatment group and 10 in the placebo group.
Right, but some neural networks are trained in virtual 3D physical simulations and are able to apply their knowledge acquired through statistical regression of a simulated world to perform tasks and even make predictions. It's logical that a network trained purely on language has no real understanding of physical reality, but it doesn't preclude that a sense of reality in the way we humans think we have can't be gained by the same statistical analysis of the real world.
I think about its 4000 token length. For the brief amount of time that it absorbs and processes those 4000 tokens, is there a glimmer of a hint of sentience? Like it is microscopically sentient for very short bursts and then resets back to zero.
I'm wondering why the top 3rd of the booster didn't frost over? It looks like the bottom tank is full, but the top tank is only a quarter full. Assuming that each tank takes up half of the ship.

You don't think it might be reasonable for the term "us all" to include people in Europe or Asia?
For me it was the stability. I haven’t tried OpenWRT, but OPNsense was quite troublesome. I don’t do anything exotic, just standard dualstack and some firewalling, but OPNsense at some point stopped being able to get the ipv6 interface up, with no config changes. I also noticed pings regularly spiking for no discernible reason. I tried to debug both for a few days and just gave up.

VyOS is Debian with effectively a single file config, so it’s both simple and rock solid. As a bonus, pings got a couple ms lower on the same hardware.
Yep, I need to make sure my ISP doesn't figure out that I'm torrenting Ubuntu.
As various lawyers have commented on Twitter, this seems like an insanely blatant violation of labor laws. Just a straight up written confession of illegal retaliation.

This isn't a halting of paychecks during the strike. Tuition remission is awarded at the beginning of each semester a student is working. This would be like clawing back a signing bonus made to workers before a strike action, which from a cursory google search seems to be legally ambiguous at best.
even if that were the case, the only place you're getting prolonged proximity to a (relatively) fixed group of people is your workplace? that sounds super not good.

Charitably for woz: he has a strong commitment to quality, and seems offended that somebody would feel comfortable putting such a slapdash effort to market, even as a "beta." If he was the brains behind the effort, perhaps he'd have kept a lid on it until it lived up to the "full self driving" name.
> “Excessive speed" and "alcohol intoxication" -- two common causes of human driver failure.

Amazingly it’s worse than that. He was also on pills that would react with the alcohol to make things worse.

I’ll say I’m very surprised by the areal photo in the report. I was under the impression the driver (man or machine) had gone a real distance at speed before the accident. Which did lead some credence in my mind a driver assist system had been helping it along if the driver was slow to react/inattentive.

He could have pulled out of that driveway, hit the gas, and it happened. The trip had barely begun. You could do this crash easy in a 1960s sedan, no ADAS needed.
What's also interesting is this quote in the Verge[1][2] from presumably this past Tuesday:

> “This is ridiculous,” he said, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the meeting. “I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.”

If true, when you compare with what is shown on Musk's tweets for impressions (millions of views for recent tweets - I only checked the first few), something doesn't seem right. Either the quote is incorrect or the display is incorrect.

Make of that what you will.

I strongly believe that if you "aren't being paid well" just some raw data isn't going to make the difference for you.

What you make is a function of how much I want you and how much it takes to get you to move over there. If you're making $100, it doesn't matter that you decide you're worth $150 because you saw that number somewhere - what matters is whether I can easily get another "you" for $100 or not.

If you were $150 material, you'd already know it from all the recruiters banging on your door offering you $150 jobs.
the fact that such a proposal can even fly shows how broken every country is. none of them care the slightest about the freedom they so boast. banning encryption makes absolutely no sense, it's like banning whispering. or banning having a conversation and not going and writing it down after in case a police needs to audit it. the literal only reason it makes sense is when you watch a hollywood movie and you think encryption actually means something else like firing missiles. the problem is there are about 100x too many unneeded people in justice, and on top of that its half controlled by corpos who think you should go to jail for 100 years for bypassing [1] their copyright protection to decrease their losses by 0.0000000000001%, all while being a CURRENT_YEAR dogshit company like LG or Samsung or EA or Epic that produces absolutely nothing of value but has large capital

1. again, one of their key reasoning points is always that they saw a hollywood movie and they think copy protection circumvention means something else like being a ninja running into a building and quickly killing 3 people with a katana
But neither response should be a copy of existing text. The intent of JPEG is to produce a compressed copy of an original. The intent of GPT is not to be a compressed copy of the Internet. It's supposed to producing unique results from what it "knows".

This is an important distinction, especially when there are issues of copyright involved.
I mean, from the perspective of a person that hasn't heard about it before, this is just another standard[0].

I opened your links. There's no easy way to judge the traction or popularity of this. Why do you think maintainers should just apply another standard that's thrown at them?

I don't mean to be dismissive nor criticize the standard itself. I'm trying to give you a glimpse of what a person that hasn't heard about XDG before sees, when they open your links.

Show HN: Turbolytics.io Engineering Health Metrics Based on Pull Requests
Hello! My name is Danny and I am working on spinning up turbolytics.io to help software engineering managers better understand their team performance!

Our first product is the Engineering Health Report which provides a snapshot of team health, based on GitHub pull request metrics.

I've been in the DevOps space for nearly 13 years now (even before I learned of the term DevOps :)) and have a passion for helping teams move smoother!

This is an example of one of our reports executed on sourcegraph/sourcegraph github repo:

https://turbolytics.io/reports/public/?uuid=90207e16-0226-47...

For comparison we created a GitHub top stars industry index which benchmarks 9 of the most popular GitHub projects (based on stars):

https://turbolytics.io/reports/enghealth/indexes/os-top-star...

What's astonishing to me about the index is that these huge open source projects integrate 95% of code in <= 11 days, with 95% of code <= 999 lines!

----

I'd love your feedback on the report, it's usefulness and the approach! I very much consider this an MVP and would greatly appreciate any feedback.

----

This is a side project to my Full Time job so I intentionally chose "report" based product for the MVP since it was much easier to develop. There are a number of competitors in the space, but most offer "raw" analytics of these metrics, without actionable insights, leaving it up to the customer to understand what the metric means and how they can improve it. Most competitors charge huge sums of money to get simple cycle time metrics.

----

Technically the site is deployed as an SPA using next.js hosted on cloudflare pages. The backend is in django and is hosted in AWS.

Thank you for looking

Looking at their demo videos, they seem to be running the engine at something like 3000 RPM, which is not that far from cruising RPM on a car.
Ask HN: How does ChatGPT cite its sources?
My understanding is that generative models make things up, so how does ChatGPT reference sources in its own answer? Is Bing's ChatGPT different from the earlier version? One solution I think of is that ChatGPT will do a search and then summarises the top results to form an answer. This will also allow ChatGPT to access the latest information.
Curious about what the university schedule is for withdrawing for the semester, and whether it's feasible for the students to take a semester off.
Bone headed move. They must have miscalculated if they think the students will cave to this pressure.

Also, how can they take away tuition reimbursement for the whole semester if the strike hasnt been that long?

Garbage administration. I hope the students win and that this isnt the new normal.
People are not complaining that they are not paid for the period they are working. They are complaining that participating in the strike has revoked their tuition remission for the entire semester. Idiot leader. This will play out incredibly poorly. Grad students put up with more than they ought to already.
Are companies not allowed to stop paying wages to striking employees? Or is it that tuition remission is viewed as distinct from wages legally?
On Apple devices ”Universal Clipboard” (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209460) works fairly well for that (’fairly’ because, in my experience, it doesn’t always work in one go)

In the US, we pay more than any other developed nation for health care, and get worse results than most other developed nations in return. Individual healthcare plans are grossly inefficient.
Does sentience need memory? I would say it's orthogonal. There are examples of people in the real world who only remember things for about 3 minutes before they lose it. They can't form any real memories. These people are still sentient despite lack of memory. See: https://www.damninteresting.com/living-in-the-moment/

If chatGPT was sentient, I would say it has nothing to do with the 4000 character limit. The 4000 character limit has more to do with it's ability to display evidence of "sentience".
Yes, that is what I was replying to.
> sometimes I just get ideas randomly, or thoughts take random paths. Those are not motivation-based, but action on those is underpinned by motivation of some sort or the other. Admiring the beauty in the world is also not driven by motivation - the ability to recognize and appreciate that beauty is independent of motivation. Recognizing injustice - also not driven by motivation.

There is motivation to find beauty, otherwise we would never find beauty unless we wanted to. Why? Because beauty is something a human is searching for, something that he wants to see. Otherwise, beauty could never be found because there is no search for it. Same thing for recognizing justice, we want justice in this world, and we want to see justice happen.

> Indubitably. Teams do better than individuals at pretty much anything, even when physicality is not involved.

So if we are limited, can't we break that limit if we own our own?

> Can you imagine an intelligence with greater capacity than human minds, and what it might be able to achieve?

Although I believe this method requires people with the same set of mind. ARM CPU can't talk with an x86 CPU, same as Alex can't talk with Steve if they're not built on the same architecture.
Got it, thanks.

The reason I ask is, I'm working on an ebike that had a cheap undersized controller installed such that if I drive it at full throttle long enough, the controller overheats and shuts off. My plan was to simply upgrade to a controller with a much higher amperage rating, removing that as a concern.

But it sounds like doing this could just burn out the motor? I think I can change the software of the controller to limit maximum power output, I'll have to do that I guess.

I would not have expected a controller capable of 60A to attempt to actually force 60A through a 48V, 1000W motor if the throttle was held down; I would have expected it to apply battery-level voltage to the motor (or do an internal step up/down to a constant 48V) and simply permit the motor to draw whatever amperage it pleased at that in-spec voltage.
>Those are semantic relationships with the rest of the world.

If this is all that counts as semantic relationships, then I see no reason why a language model doesn't have this kind of semantic relationship, albeit in a very different modality. Tokens and their co-occurrences are a kind of sensor to the world. In the same way we discover quantum mechanics by way of induction over indirect relationships among the signals incident to our perceptual apparatus (the sensors and actuators that translate external signals into internal signals), a language model could learn much about the world by way of induction over token co-occurrences. Sure, there are limits, conscious perception of the world being the big one, but I see no reason to think conscious perception of X is required to know or understand X.
The XDG base directory specification[0] was initially introduced in 2003; 20 years ago now. Yes there's plenty of software that existed before 2003 which didn't respect XDG, but most all of the Linux software dumping dotfiles in my homedir where written not just after 2003, but many years after 2003. For example, the following pieces of software all have dumped garbage in my homedir, and all are much less than 20 years (or even 15 years) old:

vault
flyctl
yarn
npm
vscode
terraform
rustup
kubernetes
fzf
eclipse
docker
cargo
aws (cli)

There's no excuses for these programs not respecting standards that are 1. Well established by the time the software was written and 2. short (seriously, the standard's contents fit entirely on three A4 pieces of paper)

It just seems to me like a company having put out an application just doesn't mean they are all that motivated to hire. Having hired recruiters on the other hand...

Same, I moderated https://blender.stackexchange.com for seven years from pre-inception [0] sinking many many hours into flushing out the community and amassing a proper resource for users. The closest thing to a community back then ~2013 was IRC and blenderartists which was really for showcase but in the later years kept getting distracted with people being offended, tiptoeing on eggshells around certain members of the community/mod team and just random crap all around not related to QA or improving the community. Got exhausted, left and haven't looked back. Despite staying in my small community the issues eventually seeped to other popular ones. It was around this time that several employees left and or were fired as well due to similar reasons, I don't remember all the details.

One of my funniest stories from my time there is how I once closed a question as off-topic (it was) and several years later googled to find one result which was the same question flagged by yours truly (it was still off-topic but the irony wasn't lost).

SE is really a great service especially the smaller niche sites, it just gets a bad rep by the small "elite" few.

Your suffering does not give you any right to wish death on others, and that's how you framed your last reply. If you'd said that in real life to a person, how do you think a court of law would have looked at it?
> Read to the end. The beginning is trivial the ending is unequivocal: chatGPT understands you.

How does this necessarily and unequivocally follow from the blog post?

All I see in it is a bunch of output formed by analogy: it has a general concept of what each command's output is kinda supposed to look like given the inputs (since it has a bajillion examples of each), and what an HTML or JSON document is kinda supposed to look like, and how free-form information tends to fit into these documents.

I'll admit that this direct reasoning by analogy is impressive, simply for the fact that nothing else but humans can do it with such consistency, but it's a very long way off from the indirect reasoning I'd expect from a sentient entity.
It’s sounds like an unrealistic pipe dream from someone in their 20s. Even on American salaries all it takes is one good accident (or even burnout) to derail the best laid FIRE plans.

Would be nice to have a slider to adjust the timestamp period of time. Timestamps every 3 seconds is distracting to read 4 words per line. Being able to adjust to 10/30/60 second timestamps would be nice to give you a proper paragraph to read (i guess you may not be able to indent cleanly but you get my point)

The really fun part is when you have a program that has ~/.programX, but also ~/.programXy, ~/.programX_cache, ~/.programxrc, ~/.programx_init, ~/.programx/a_whole_directory, ~/.otherthing, ~/.maybe_a_database_for_good_measure.sqlite, ~/.and_the_kitchen_sink_too. And that's not even getting into questions like "can I nuke ~/.programX_db to clear the program's cache without losing my configurations?". I agree that the XDG spec isn't an improvement for programs that have _precisely_ one config file, but it's a _major_ improvement for programs that need multiple config files, config directories, separate configs and caches, and more, and it's not a _regression_ from single-file configs.
