I did read the article. My main point was that EBT was increased as an emergency measure, so it seems reasonable that it should return to the previous level before the pandemic. I realize the article makes a point about further cuts, and that is a different matter.

I think 8-year-olds spending more time inside their house in front of a TV or tablet than a prisoner is much more tragic and sad than an industrious 8-year old who wants to go out and make life happen for themselves and not becoming an obese child to later develop hypertension and diabetes from being a couch potato.

I don't want people to suffer. I don't know where you get that. I grew up without phones or TV in the 70s. I didn't know my childhood and crime-ridden neighborhood (highest in NYC for 8 years) would fill several Oprah shows. Aside from the intermittent violence, my friends and I were happy. Saving up for that telescope and working for things for myself created who I am today. And although anecdotal, I can tell you that seeing them turned in for cash for beer and cigarettes doesn't fit the rosy-glassed narrative of those who only read about it. I would also make the argument that I believe people also ate less. All of my working class neighbors were slim and generally fit from working manual labor and not eating today's large-sized portions. We have more than ever in this country than ever before, so to postulate that it's worse doesn't seem to fit my experience. I've also lived in a an Indonesian rice-farming village in Java for a year where 40% of the homes or more had dirt floors. I've traveled and lived in many other places for about 15% of my life, and self-reliance is not a myth, and it brings happiness and confidence to most people. I believe there are people that neither working for themselves or relying on others works for them, and this is truly sad, but not everyone can be saved from themselves or society.
A big part of Googs secret sauce is ranking relevancy in part by reputation. They totally could index text-to-speech of youtube videos and rank channels by popularity in their content niches, then supply those when searches overlap their the content terms. Clearly they do _something_ like this, and probably could do more. Wirecutter and reddit should show up higher than random SEO fake-review sites, not because of manual ranking, but because NYT and reddit get higher traffic, and have higher reputation from other sites. They should able to derive signals that them so.
Can you explain how each scenario would "lead us to drastically differing ways of trying to mitigate the next virus."?

There doesn't seem to be a practical way to control all known bat caves or unsanitary cooking practices.

Controlling the illegal wildlife trade would require a huge government commitment which doesn't seem like a viable option.

Very nice! I like the idea that allows you to make notes skip certain bars, keeps the UI compact instead of having to show all the bars.

It would be nice if you could place notes while dragging the mouse instead of having to click all the time, and a clear button would also be cool.
I hate the naming scheme but I get it up to a point. Core has VERY breaking changes from Framework (killing off libraries although some of them have been unkilled to varying degrees is probably the biggest one). Frankly I wish they'd stuck with Core as the Post Framework name instead of being like "okay now we are just .NET 5!

> Actually the expansion of the NBA ended that era, because the Pistons were not able to keep Mahorn. If they kept that team together, Bulls don't win in 1991.

Mahorn. An all defensive second team selection. One time. 6.9 ppg and 6 rebounds. I'm sure the best team ever would have been scared of him.

The Bulls SWEPT the Pistons in 90-91! Back to back champs just completely embarrassed. Laughable you think Mahorn would have changed anything!

> Jordan was not someone Isiah worried about, his competition was Magic and Bird.

Yes because until Scottie Pippen came along the Pistons, Celtics and Lakers had clearly better teams lol. You are trying to insinuate something that isn't there.

> Every team that won in the early 80's would have beat the 95-96 Bulls EASILY.

That's laughable and the pros that actually played would not back up your claim.

We're talking about THREE 7+ year first team all defensive players and the ability to lock down the paint and perimeter.

Pick any team. They are not better offensively and defensively complete as Jordan/Pippen/Rodman.

> Magic won it in his first year in the league. Bird won it in his second year. Andrew Toney is one of the most underrated players ever. Jordan didn't win until everybody else got old.

Again - look at what teams AND organizations they joined. Your statement has no merit. The Jordan led Bulls dominated the league in ways that none of the teams you mentioned did.

Both Bird and Magic have less championships. And also - almost NOBODY puts them ahead of Jordan as best player ever.

You can put several Lakers over Magic for best Laker. And Bill Russell over Bird. Your favorites aren't on the same level as Jordan.

> Jordan didn't win until everybody else got old.

More like the Bulls added a missing piece in Scottie Pippen. How many all stars did Bird and Magic have when they won?

In 1987 as one example, Celtics had 3. Lakers had 3. Bulls just 1.

They started winning because they had the best player ever and the organization added weapons. The Bulls were trash until after Jordan was drafted.

95-96 team is the best and most complete team ever assembled. You can disagree because it's your opinion. But collective opinion... it's widely known they are the best.

One effective way to improve your English is through consistent reading and vocabulary building. Personally, I find reading a blog about Blockchain (https://www.ratherlabs.com/blog) to be both informative and enjoyable. Whenever I come across a word that I don't understand, I make a point to look it up in the dictionary, which not only helps me to better understand the blog post but also expands my vocabulary. By regularly engaging with written material and challenging myself to learn new words, I'm able to improve my comprehension and fluency in English over time.

Yup, sigh. NZ was a big sheep based economy when I was young. Now sheep are only for land unsuitable for cows or farmers that are stubborn holdouts. It costs more to shear the sheep than the wool is worth now - I really hope that can be turned around somehow so demand for wool can replace that for synthetic materials and those stubborn holdouts get rewarded for it.

All I'm saying is, if all else were equal between a 5 million and a 500 million dollar company, it might not be very ethical to charge them differently. But the point is all else is not equal, they both might have vastly different needs, so it makes sense to charge them according to those needs, where the larger one likely has more complex and thus more expensive needs. Again, it's the same as a plumber charging different prices for a big house versus a small house, based on complexity.
This isn't an issue of rights, though, it's an issue of culture and respect. I actually agree with you that it'd be unreasonable to consistently have to change the names of things, but this is 100% not an issue of whether you're allowed to call things by different names.

I think there's a balance to be struck between respecting the names which certain groups prefer, and that's the hard part of society: you might spell your name "Анастасия", and I think it's fine to Anglicize that as "Anastasia". Someone else might prefer not to have to change their name, though.

Likewise, grammar and what words are considered valid are constantly shifting. I actually agree with you that "I want to use this name because this is the name that has historically been used" is a valid reason and valid preference!

Figuring out how to balance all these preferences is a hard problem. Fortunately, though, the right to call things what you want is absolutely not in question for these scenarios.

If there were talk of banning certain references to things, I'd be in the same camp as you, but that's not a problem we're facing today.

It occurred to me last week that phrase is prompt engineering. He is giving the essential info to specify what he wants presumably because a shorter specification would yield a different result.

I wonder if star trek replicators are deterministic.

Does Picards frequent ordering of Tea Early Grey Hot make the probability of someone ordering "tea" more likely to be TEGH, and thus if Picard ordered TEGH frequently enough he would eventually be able to just say "tea"? Do replicators do continuous training or is the prompt inference engine static?

There is definitely something else going on ... if I stop writing and come back to it often the sentence fragment I was writing makes no sense at all. If it was word by word, I'd just start writing again.

Also, I usually "hear" the next segment fragment in my head before I'm typing it.
Wrongful termination only comes into play when labor laws are being violated, such as discrimination against protected classes.

As we see from the layoffs now, businesses are free to terminate any number of employees anytime they want. There would be zero legal recourse outside of Montana (the only non at will employment state) if a business decided to terminate all remote employees at any time.
Sure, but the harder part is measuring whether the developer is actually 5% faster. Otherwise you can make the same case for every $10/mo subscription service in the world, and so we should all be operating at infinite efficiency.

> Because if you can write in Python and have the performance of C++, why would you want to write in C++?

Because then you'd have to write in Python?

Seriously, all languages have tradeoffs. Performance is hardly the only consideration.
I get the impression that you are massively underselling auto-predict.

If you took GPT3's architecture and scaled it down to the size and training set of a typical auto-predict, it would produce near identical results. You wouldn't be able to tell the two apart.

Likewise, if we took an auto-predict architecture from 8 years ago, scaled it up to the size of GPT3 and could train it on GPT3's training set, it would produce similar output to GPT3 and we would see the exact same emergent intelligence capabilities. (Though, it's probably not possible to compete training in a practical time-frame, the real innovation of GPT3 was optimising the architecture to make training such a large model practical)

I think very insightful to point out just how similar the two are. Because it shows the capabilities of language models are not because of any architectural element, but are emergent from the model and it's training data.

It also makes me excited for what will happen when they move beyond the "beefed up auto-predict" architecture. (Arguably, Bing has taken a small step in this direction by bolting a search engine onto it)

Sorry, the terminology is kind of terrible here - by developer I meant software developer. That's pretty egregiously confusing so I've edited the comment. I'm actually uncertain now if the parent I was replying to was talking about software or real estate developers so my response might be a bit of a miss.
> Hold your damn horses, this technology is brand new, requires a tremendous amount of data gathering and computation, there's a massive volunteer effort already under way, and you're begging for a free home version so you can save $0.02 cents. You want a hole, pick up a shovel.

$0.02 cents per API request. What I would like to do is provide people a free service on the internet that using an LLM under the hood. If you are so rich that you can burn $10k on an internet hobby project, good for you, but just know that everybody else is not as rich as you.

Also I wasn't "begging for a free home version". In my original question I already provided one option. Sorry, I mean "one free home version". So it's not like I was starved out of options. There are options. I was asking for recommendations.
Sorry for the dangling preposition. "That" refers to VXLAN+Wireguard being easier and more reliable. It has the drawback though of having very high overhead at 130 bytes/packet, and it can be very tricky to use over the public Internet without paying lots of special attention to tuning the MTU of all devices on the bridged segment. I'm glad to know that there are geeks who have not been exposed to the horrors of IPSec, though. And yeah, you should pretty much never do L2VPN. It is perilous in the extreme.
Why do we have to rely on Republicans to investigate covid origins? Scary!
Yes I agree, that was my point. Though I was comparing train derailments overall, not chemical spills. Chemicals are needed for society.

Nationalizing trains will not help. Nationalizing chemical transfers won't help either if it's the same EPA in charge that said 9/11 debris was safe or this spill was okay.

Heavier regulations on trains may be needed, especially when transferring hazardous loads, but nationalization would be horrendous.

All that be said, investing in pipelines is a much safer form of transfer for these chemicals. Trains are too risky.
So, the solution is to keep all your NPM repos out of the page.

But the issue is not really solved, as your backend either has NPM [Node], Composer [PHP], PyPI [Python], etc. AFAIK all of these have worse sandboxing than the browser does.

(I recognize that the threat envelope is different.

Eg. a Stripe form never sends the credit card info to your back-end, so it may be better. On the other hand, the server can access the Stripe key, which is a crown jewel...)

What is the solution?
I would guess $12k-$16k, but they haven't released the price yet.
Exactly this. Once a budget is increased for whatever reason, it is almost impossible to take it back to previous levels without a lot of effort. I didn't say abolish food stamps.
> Using a screenshot tool should be safe. It will treat all pixels on the screen the same

Nope. Microsoft Office has an option/plugin that lets you flag emails and documents as restricted. You can, for example, send such an email to someone else. That person can open the email and use a screenshot tool on that email. What they will get is a flat gray box where the email content was.

Not all pixels on the screen are the same. And you have no idea if your computer tattled on you and let the sending org know that you tried to screenshot the email.
I've not yet managed to convince myself if fine tuning LLMs works for that kind of example.

Have you tried fine tuning GPT3 via the OpenAI APIs for this? It should only cost a few dollars for that smaller set of examples, and it would at least help demonstrate it it's possible to get the results you want with the current best-in-class language model before you try to run that against a smaller model that you can fit on your own hardware.
Apologies for offending your religious beliefs but there are an awful lot of now very rich snake oil salesmen out there who are doing a lot more for their cronies wallets than for the planet.

‘Our Losses Were Gigantic’: Life in a Sacrificial Russian Assault Wave
For real. This looks really bad. Authorities in the area seem to be playing it like "it's safe until we have evidence that it's not," but who wants to volunteer to become the evidence?

If you're in that area, it'd be prudent to get out if you're able. It's systemic contamination. You don't get to go back in time for a mulligan if it turns out to be bad.

It's always played down. Nobody ever says "we really fucked up this time so you ought to fend for yourself." It's been, what, 10 days? There's barely coverage, and there's no transparency.

It is a very nihilistic philosophy. Unfortunately that philosophy is spreading, but it's also had an undercurrent there all along. There are a lot of people in the US that culturally do not have the same morals or system of ethics as the rest of the society, and they act out in ways which would appall the average person. This has been able to be mostly kept under wraps in the US because these subcultures, while shared across cities, on each local level are restricted to a small geographical area. With the rise of social media and the Internet, it has made the world a smaller place, allowing rapid communication between people with shared ideals and interests, and this is true for both positive interests and negative interests for society.

Car theft isn't even the half of it. Wait until you find out about the growth of card skimming in the inner city driven by social media. There are /many/ /many/ anti-social behaviors that are culturally rewarded within certain subcultures in the US. To even get to the point you have such a nihilistic world view, you have to have grown up in an environment without any serious positive role models, minimal to no hope for the future, and no realistic pathway in life to leave behind the circumstances you find yourself in. There are generations of people who have been bathed in this nihilism, and it's created a negative outcome for society on generational scale that's spreading.

The whole point of using 222nm is that it doesn't cause effects on either the eyes or the skin. Consequently, you can use it at higher concentrations without worrying about the leakage.

The issue, as I understand it, is simply that we don't have a decent LED monochomatic source. All of the currently available sources have broad spectrums that have to be filtered out.
The Thievery of GitHub Copilot
>Either people will pay a subscription fee to unlock the utility of an information-distilling agent, or they won't.

This feels a bit like projection though. People in general are trained to tolerate ads for most freemium services, such as social media, search, etc., and chat is no different.

For any market involving human attention, there's a portion willing to pay money for the service, but a significant larger portion willing to trade attention time (e.g. ad impressions) for a free service instead.
It's like how it often takes public shaming on twitter to get a company to act like they should have done in the first place. It's not social media that causes the problem, it's just that the continuous bad "press" makes it inconvenient enough that a company might expend some meaningful effort into addressing their issue for a change.

I don't think a lot of companies really care about their reputation or about public perception. Some of the most hated companies on Earth continue to be enormously successful and shitty, but with enough attention over a long enough period of time and they'll often do something to make people shut up about their bad behavior on social media so that we'll move on to the next distraction and they can go back to being terrible.
