Did you try and ask for a summary of the article without actually providing the content of the article? ChatGPT consistently says that it only has information up until 2021, this even happened this year. ChatGPT can't pull from it's "memory" on this article. So the only think it can do is hallucinate something that might make sense.

Simply paste the article in and it gives a perfectly reasonable summary stating that the guy was murdered. Below is what it printed out as a summary. All I did was type a sentences asking to to summarize the following article and then I pasted in the content of the article you linked [1]. This was it's summary:

> A New Jersey community is mourning after a senior distribution supervisor and councilman was shot dead by an employee outside his workplace. Police called to the scene found 51-year-old Russell Heller dead from a gunshot wound in the parking lot of the PSE&G facility. The shooter, a former employee identified as 58-year-old Gary Curtis, was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Russell Heller was first elected to the council in 2017 and again in 2020 and was remembered as a perfect gentleman and committed councilman who was deeply rooted in the community. This was the second councilperson to die by gun violence within a week in New Jersey.

A completely reasonable and to my eyes an accurate summary.

And if done on the other crappy Newsbuster article it also produces a completely reasonable summary.

I'm not certain which it is - are there people who don't know that ChatGPT doesn't have current news in it and was cut off two years back? I see a long post above about some big censorship, but it summarizes them just fine.

It really feels like a lot of people are breathlessly looking for some huge conspiracy. No large corporation is going to have it's products promoting rape or genocide. If you asked Google, or Amazon or Apple or Microsoft or Disney they aren't going to do it. If they produce a tool their tool isn't going to do it either. They're going to do as much as possible to provide info and answers without having a tool that is another instance of Tay. And given what happened with Tay they will all err on the side of caution.

I feel like this poses an interesting problem: if this AI, without any input samples, generates an output that is indistinguishable from a known sample, can you still say it's royalty free? I'm not really sure what the legal status quo is here in other related fields with similar issues.

Ah yep. Meant static there and fumbled my words. That's what I get for browsing HN first thing in the morning before coffee.
It's probably worth noting that the attacks a state-level actor would use to subvert MTA-STS are more sophisticated than the attacks those same actors would use to subvert DNSSEC, which is a global tree PKI whose roots are de jure controlled by state actors.
Indeed, all major Service Meshes solution for Kubernetes implements (at least some part) the SMI specification.
There is a group composed of these players working actively on making such spec a standard.

Understanding these few CRDs give great insights on what do expect from a Service mesh and how thinks are typically articulated.
Sure. But in this case it’s worth remembering that you’re not just listening to ChatGPT’s work here. It wrote lyrics and some weird chord progressions.

The OP, who is himself the frontman for the Decembrists applied his best effort to instill that with a melody, performance style, and sonic character of his band. He could take material from a 5-year-old or a Markov chain and dress it up to sound like a fair Decembrists song.

If you took the same ChatGPT output to another musician, expert or otherwise, you might not have the same experience you’re having now.

Interestingly, the two oddball ALU flags (PF and AF) live on in at least one modern arch. Apple Silicon has an undocumented extension to calculate those and store them in unused ARM flag bits. Having Rosetta manually calculate those on each of the ALU ops (or at least the ones the compiler can't remove the flag calculation of) would massively cut into it's speed. And apparently Apple either had traces of them being used or enough fear that someone important was still using them in order to include hardware support.

You are "technically" right about the definition of envy - but I think OP is using envy to indicate "wanting something that you feel you deserve". Sometimes you feel you deserved more. Sometimes you feel others deserved less.

So you're saying the improved tracking of criminal proceeds, which started during the peak of the mafia's prominence and improved further as the mafia declined, had nothing to do with that decline? And further, has nothing to do with other criminal organizations not rising to prominence to fill the same role? I agree other things played a role, of course. You get to believe what you want, obviously, but I'm sure not persuaded.
Assuming arguendo that you're not talking about repetitive stress injuries to the body or brain from overdoing physical or stressful activity, and just the acute harm from accidents, they're pretty much the same as driving. The correlation to accidents does not mean the activity is dangerous: it's the accident that's dangerous.

I object to the conflation of quantitative risk of experiencing an incidental event with the qualitative risk posed by a voluntary event.
Yes. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Shear-tension-ring-fract... and others.
Yes, they all said such things at the beginning. And then "Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence".
I guess I'll be the first disagree:

The "good"/experienced programmers are the ones that will break established styles to improve readability in corner cases, instead of following the rules blindly. On top of that, they've probably been doing it long enough they have their own preferences and idiosyncrasies, some of which may go against established styles.

On the flipside are the "bad" and new programmers, who don't really have their own style nor have learned an established one, so they just do whatever.

It's the average ones in the middle who only follow established styles that I would expect to be easy to pick out.

In that case, launching your website to capture the attention you will later sell.

I did found an ad powered business when I was 16.

You build a site. You create content. You spam the site wherever you can. You get organic traffic. If you're lucky you get SEO gods to pick you up and if you have a good product people will share it.

You can put -ads- whenever you want, but that will have consequences.

I wouldn't choose to build an ad-powered business in 2023 tbh, I hope ads die some die in the future as the lies they mainly are.

Also if you're doing that, you're probably prepping up your initial users to be sold as cattle to your future enterprise customers. Not cool.
The book was a direct answer to social darwinism (which has very much been proven to be bunk, but many people still argue like this almost a 100 years later), not to contradict darwinism.

I'm not sure what exactly you call bunk, Kropotkins whole point was that for many species communal support and altruistic behavior is an integral part of their existence. That does not only apply to hive societies. There are for example many bird species where young (often males) help with raising children even they are not their own. Similarly you can find many mammals who live in larger communities and where individulas exhibit "altruistic" behavior because it is to the advantage of the survival of the community.
My understanding is that the Christian god is also omnifacient, meaning that he's also to blame for any deaths attributable to the devil (being the creator of the devil and all).

Edit: Except, of course, in the sense that the Christian god is also said to be omnibenevolent. It's left to the reader to determine how these qualities consistently combine.
I remember a WW1 naval mine being washed up on the beach we went to when I was a child, and being evacuated away into the town centre. Sort of leaves a memorable event when your 'day at the beach' is ruined like that.

It was mid-70s, so Danger:UXB was still a couple of years away.
It’s hard to wage full-scale war on proceeds from subsistence economy. The sanctions aim to cut off income that Kremlin can use to finance war - they are effective, if slow acting. They also aim to avoid being a double-sided blade and inflict economic hardship on Russia while sparing the West as much as possible - they have largely accomplished that as well.

It's a "big company" thing. In my opinion, the best way to add mTLS to your stack is to just adjust your application code to verify the certificate on the other end of the connection. But if the "dev team" has the mandate "add features X, Y, and Z", and the "devops team" has the mandate "implement mTLS by the end of Q1", you can see why "bolt on a bunch of sidecars" becomes the selected solution. The two teams don't have to talk with each other, but they both accomplish their goals. The cost is less understanding, debuggability, and the cost of the service mesh product. But, from both teams' perspective, it looks like the best option.

I'm not a big fan of this approach; the two teams need to have a meeting and need to have a shared goal to implement the business's selected security requirements together. But sometimes fixing the org is too hard, so there is a Plan B.

I use duckdb and looked into clickhouse-local. The dealbreaker for me was that clickhouse-local supported only a subset of SQL (that most people would probably be ok with, but not sufficient for a lot of complex analytics work). For instance, clickhouse doesn't support lead/lag functions natively (though it does propose workarounds).

Here's clickhouse's SQL support: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/

Compare this to DuckDB's (on the sidebar): https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/introduction

DuckDB's SQL coverage is much more complete and matches my experience with full blown databases like Postgres and Redshift.

As well, performance-wise DuckDB is currently still somewhat faster than clickhouse-local [1] but I would say this is a secondary consideration -- as long as either is "fast enough for your purposes" this shouldn't be an issue -- and clickhouse is plenty fast.

The primary consideration for me would be the SQL support. That said, if you don't use any complex SQL, clickhouse-local seems like it would be a worthy contender.

Thanks a lot for the pointers! I will look into that.
Capitalism lead to the demise.

Capitalism is 'mutual' aid, we just exchange with 'aid credits' aka 'money' and it's vastly more efficient because people can choose their form of 'aid': books, food, video games, and chose their form of 'contribution' via division of labour aka one guy fixes cars the other makes coats.

The healthcare one is complicated.

Blank panthers are better off just giving money to people if they need breakfast. Now, of course we get into the ugly problem that said people may not be spending those 'aid credits' appropriately in which case you end up down an ugly dark hole of social realpolitik that people don't want to go down ...
Some explosives, like C4, can actually be safely burned. To set them off, a detonator is required. Explosives from WW2 probably have similar properties, as it makes producing and handling huge warheads a much less dangerous activity. Of course, there might always be impurities in the material that makes them behave much more unstably, both from production and because of corrosion and chemical degradation over the ~80 years that have passed.
Maybe Elon doesn't want to sell sugar water but rather change the world?
No I believe it's a common approach. Without the fuse dynamites are inert and you can burn it without exploding it, since they are actually flammable. Of course, lots of steps can go wrong like incomplete removal of the fuse.

‘Live to work or work to live?’: France's youth fighting Macron’s pension reform
The argument of linear transfers, which is "my work could feed five people," seems logically false since there is a very real marginal productivity incentive. If your job pays you 20% of your current salary, do you want to work as hard? Typically, though of course not always, the answer will be no. You'll work less, you'll take on less high-effort-required activities, and so on. This effectively means transfers are subadditive and you couldn't perform such algebra across a society.

EDIT: Note for the numerous driveby downvoters that have failed to engage in discussion, thereby decreasing the quality of conversation. I am not against using wealth transfers where appropriate. My comment simply calls out that "my work is enough to feed five people" does not equate to "my work will feed five people through wealth transfers."
> There is no reason to suspect this is a technical limitation of the models we can build now, rather than a consequence of the fact that no one has bothered trying due to limitations on mechatronics.

I think the point still stands, if mechatronics turn out to be a more difficult problem than intelligence: we will need new models to overcome these limitations.
Well, this explains that one really annoying intermittent bug that I was having in some asyncio-based code.
In most implementations this is not the case. Service Meshes tend to either follow a sidecar or a DaemonSet approach. You don't have a single proxy, people usually complain about the exact opposite.
It may look like for simple use cases the JSON one works.

But one thing not included in this page is that there are things it just doesn't serialize, even when it's actual data:

const native = { number: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY };

const cloned = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(native));

// unlike NaN, we can compare Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY to itself
console.log(native.number === native.number);

// but it doesn't serialize
console.log(native.number === cloned.number);

console.log(cloned);

Yields

true
false
{number: null}

Oops.

This interview was mostly a puff piece until this ominous quote:

> "The first set of categories in which we should use these powerful models are where humans, unambiguously, unquestionably, are in charge," Nadella said. "And so as long as we sort of start there, characterize these models, make these models more safe and over time much more explainable, then we can think about other forms of usage."

In other words, let's start with innocent chatbots until people get comfortable with them. Then we can start to do the menacing Big Tech stuff.

Also consider the cost per taxpayer. At $187 million that's roughly $1 per person. For someone making the average income, it costs them maybe $0.15 in taxes for ID.me.

The IRS estimated that the average taxpayer spends $240 and 13 hours of time on their taxes. Multiply by 157 million taxpayers and that's $37 billion and 2 billion hours of labor. Although likely skewed by a small % who hire professionals, plenty of people spend $100+ on services like TurboTax.

The IRS spending a couple billion to make the tax process a little bit easier is really not a big deal. $187 million is nothing, and if that's all it costs to streamline their ID verification process, then it means the government is much more efficient with our tax dollars than people give it credit for.
Out of curiosity, was it something built internally? Or were you relying on a public solution?

Safety regs are for everyone onboard, including pilots.

This should be a licensing requirement. Lie or withholding evidence to a safety regulatory board should lose you your license there and then.
> the direct route should be something like "turn the function into it's AST, apply derivative rules to transform the AST, turn the result back into a function"

A couple points on that:

1) The most direct route can be even simpler (what's called forward mode differentiation)! You want the derivative of a function in some direction at some point, and you can do that by just passing in the point and the direction. If every function involved knows how to transform the point and transform the direction, then you just evaluate it step by step, no transformations required. This is the "jvp" approach in OP.

2) Something that is often misunderstood about JAX is that JAX isn't just about taking derivatives. A large part of it is just about transforming functions. Hence its idiosyncrasies. It turns out one of the transformations you can do is exactly what you said: transform it into its AST (called jaxprs IIRC), then transform that into whatever you want (gradients, inverses, parallel computations, JIT compile it, whatever), then turn that back into a function. And that's exactly how the linked post does reverse mode differentiation a couple pages in (IIRC). That flexibility is both what makes JAX's approach so interesting, and what makes JAX such a PITA to debug.
For safety while handling, many explosives need both heat and pressure to explode. Famously, soldiers in Vietnam would burn C4 for heating water. However, explosives tend to become more sensitive over time, and there's always a chance that the explosive filler in this bomb wasn't an insensitive explosive anyway. Given the chance of it exploding when burned versus exploding when jolted, it probably made sense to burn it in place
I didn't say that asyncio offered parallelism, I'm pointing out that normal assumptions about multithreading you'd make with other languages don't always apply to Python. You'd typically assume that threads offer parallelism, a property you might choose to use them for over something like single-threaded asyncio.

I've found that for even IO bound workloads, the amount of throughput plateaus when using a relatively small amount of threads despite the GIL being released on IO.
That period was also incredibly violent, as the unit of competition was the family, not the individual. Economies of scale were similarly inaccessible, which is why agrarian societies outcompeted their hunter-gathered kin. We can absolutely model our post-industrial society on that pre-historic ideal, but that also requires acknowledging its brutality and shortcomings.
I think cancel culture is worse at lower ranking institutions. It's hard to think of any notable recent incidents at top universities. Could be wrong.
