Sorry, I was unclear.

I am all for good regulations - they are vital for a well functioning society.

However, there are plenty of bad regulations that have perverse outcomes. There are also plenty of regulations due to regulatory capture where the regulations help an incumbent and hinder new entrants. Watch Intuit protect their income at the expense of tax payers. In New Zealand, there are plenty of horrifically inefficient health & safety regulations, because who can argue against saving a life at any cost?

I am against bad regulations that cost society too much without giving enough benefit.

I did something similar but used wiki syntax with a handful of extensions. The source content was stored in a specific directory layout/scheme and the site code generated the page hierarchy from that, storing it in an adjacent cache dir. Coming from a sysadmin background, it seemed very natural and easy to manage. Definitely the way to go.

One day I'll clean it up and offload it to github for others who are like-minded.

You’re comparing a LLM to yourself, really? I wonder how many people talking about this know much about computers. Your cognitive capability is much more complex than ChatGPT. I’m not sure why people are convinced that a Turing Machine can simulate it, let alone do it efficiently. Do you believe that the way you think is at all like ChatGPT. That you are both processing text is not evidence. How many watts of power did you utilize on your whole life up to this point? How much did it take to train ChatGPT and how much does it take to run it, even if you could run it on your home PC? How much heat does it generate. You may not like it but could live and solve intellectual problems for a week on only water and a handful of rice. Do you really think these two things, human brains and computers based on TMs are the same type of thing?

You would be wrong. There is absolutely no way to tell a person's caste based on where they come from.

Surname could be an indicator but that doesn't need questions about diet.

I know people who were raised in vegetarian Hindu households in India who became beef lovers after they moved to the US. I'm skeptical that questions about diet are particularly useful for a would-be caste discriminator.

Checking it out now; thanks :)
Caste System exists in India but you are generalizing way too much by saying "My Indian Colleagues". I am an Indian-American and I hate the caste system. I love that America is multi-cultural and allows people of all cultures/races to come here and make something for themselves. If you are going to assume by default that I believe in caste system, you are mistaken. But I am not interested in explaining too much. So yea, I will probably be tight lipped in front of you because you don't understand the complexity and roots of this practice.

Just be careful about generalizing a country of 1.4 billion people. Someone more ignorant will automatically assume that all Indians are the same and they all believe in caste system.

I've seen crypto/trading scams as the top comment on every single CNBC clip I watch. It follows the same pattern you describe with a vague opener that almost sounds legitimate (but not quite) and then the spam following in response.

It's so reliable on CNBC clips that I almost think those videos comment sections could be used as a training set for spam prevention.
Fools lots of people in my experience.
Thanks for sharing this! Those who are not exposed to the caste based discrimination or even the concept of caste can't begin to appreciate how insidious it is. Your comment brings forward perfectly how caste acts at multiple levels and is pervasive in the Indian society.

My favourite example about this is from a (for the lack of better word) sub-religion named "Lingayats". It traces origins to a philosopher named Basavanna. He wanted a community sans discrimination so that every one from regardless of caste would be treated equally. And yet here we are, after hundreds of years, where there are 50+ castes/sub-castes in Lingayats too.

I'm surprised.

For my own entertainment, I've tried to have ChatGPT write a science fiction story a few times, but its stories weren't entertaining.

The main problem is that it sounds like it is summarizing. For example, here is a typical start to one of its stories:

"
In a world much like our own, a team of scientists were working on an experimental device known as the Gravitational Wave Interferometer. They had been working on the project for years, but had been unable to make it work. The device was designed to detect the subtle ripples in space-time caused by gravitational waves, but it required an incredible amount of precision and sensitivity."

That's fine, but it sounds like the summary of a story rather than the story itself. It's telling rather than showing. For comparison here is the intro from the popular book The Hunt for Red October:

"Captain First Rank Marko Ramius of the Soviet Navy was dressed for the Arctic conditions normal to the Northern Fleet submarine base at Polyamyy. Five layers of wool and oilskin enclosed him. A dirty harbor tug pushed his submarine’s bow around to the north, facing down the channel. The dock that had held his Red October for two interminable months was now a water-filled concrete box, one of the many specially built to shelter strategic missile submarines from the harsh elements. On its edge a collection of sailors and dockyard workers watched his ship sail in stolid Russian fashion, without a wave or a cheer."

This sets the stage in a more interesting way than ChatGPT does.

What kinds of prompt strategies can I use to make ChatGPT's stories sound more like storytelling and less like a synopsis or summary? Can someone share a specific prompt?
Yeah this is very true. I'm Indian born in the Bay Area and oddly enough there's entire apartment communities that end up being 95% indian families because of costs/school districts. This translates to housing too (Mountain House, San Ramon) though it typically has nothing to do with caste, just circumstance.
Ahhh; didn't know about this. I guess it's called Looker Studio now? Will give it a try. Thanks!

> Undergrad college had 'infinite time' and 'open everything but people' exams, but graded on a curve so that sometimes getting half the questions right was an A. Much more stressful, learned more, and basically no cheating.

I tend to really appreciate 'open everything but people' exams, since they're a good way to actually check that people know how to complete a task. I think that a good one is probably harder for a professor to write, but the ones that I've taken have been a much better test of my understanding of the topic than ones where I was concerned with memorizing what the API for POSIX threads was.

Not so sure about infinite time, though. Seems like it makes it really easy for someone who has the time to dedicate a whole day (or the obsessiveness to do it even if they don't have the time) to do way better than someone who, for whatever reason, can't.

To me, the gold standard for computer science exams would be ~90m-3h with an open everything policy, including both a "do you know/can you apply the theory?" and a "can you do something practical with that?" section.

The Athenian practice historians call "ostracism" was a specific system used to exile individual political rivals. It was rare, codified, targeted, and usually used against the powerful or ascendent.

It shares a word with a modern broad concept of shunning, but shouldn't be confused with it. It certainly doesn't relate to broad discrimination or "woke cancellation."

1. You completely missed the point of the article. The (formerly) HIV-positive patient RECEIVED a donation.

2. HIV is already screened for in blood donations. (Whole blood donations also come with a long list of questions which gauge for some things you might consider "risky behavior", like injection drug use or sexual contact with sex workers.)

3. With proper treatment, most HIV patients today have a non-detectable viral load of HIV in their blood. This doesn't mean that they absolutely CANNOT transmit the virus, but that the quantity of virus is vanishingly small. To quote the NIH[0]:

> While it is still possible to transmit HIV to others during [Chronic HIV infection], people who take ART exactly as prescribed and maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to an HIV-negative partner through sex.

Taking a page out of Nagel's What Is It Like To Be A Bat, the inseparable subjective nature of consciousness/qualia/what-is-it-like-ness makes it antithetical to the perspectiveless objective(ness) of science. In other words, the whole point of science is to develop a perspectiveless espistomological framework and the perspective-ness of conscious experience is outside the bounds of science. Consciousness *is" objectiveless.
> No, women do not all want to be QA, I assure you.

Of course they don't! People make their own choices!

My point was that QA teams are often more welcoming to women, and don't have a ton of male brogrammer "let's crush some LeetCode" types. This also tends to be a self-reinforcing cycle. Where would you rather go, the team that treats interviews as a hazing ritual, or the one that conducts a good conversation and respects your time?

I tried to make this more clear in my comment, since clearly I didn't do a good job of communicating it the first time.
Looks very promising.

They seem to imply it's only for time-series data, but I like their marketing & UX so far. So many of the projects people link to are probably awesome, but if you don't nail the UX / DX, people bounce really quickly.

Eating does not prove anything plenty of brahmins of this generation do eat meat and beef.

Not eating meat however is a strong signal though, which is what typically the questioner wants to know.

I am open to the idea of emergent properties, but I think logic/truth and purpose/empathy are independent facilities of intelligence that do not come from this model.

Pattern matching is a huge part of our brains, but there are more directed parts too. So far modern ML seems to be entirely the pattern matching part.

All OP said is their Indian colleagues are tight-lipped about caste, which it sounds like you would be too. I'm not sure why you feel that's unfair generalization. OP isn't claiming they all support it, just that they're silent about it.
That still feels very far from net zero. The train is supported by rail and concrete. It is far better to walk or better yet minimize your trips to the store altogether. Reducing your motion will reduce your need to consume.
> IBM could have 90% of the home computer and server market if they didn't charge so much for their stuff. They always had the best technology.

In this particular case, there is no contemporary technological advantage of ECKD over standard hard disks/SSDs - it is simply a matter of legacy backward compatibility, lock-in, and an attempt to financially sustain the mainframe storage ecosystem. The idea of variable sector sizes may have had some real advantages when it was invented back in the 1960s, but nowadays it is just adding unnecessary complexity for no real benefit.

Even the idea of having the hard disk do key searches is something IBM has been moving away from, because doing them in software on the CPU turned out to be much faster in practice. It is still required because the primary traditional mainframe filesystem (VTOC) is based on it, but in areas where performance is critical (such as databases) IBM now positions it as a legacy technology.

Maybe there's still some value in moving key searches into the storage layer, but if there is, it would have to be something much more advanced than the rather simplistic 1960s implementation that ECKD storage provides. Oracle came up with a conceptually similar idea much more recently, Oracle Exadata (released 2008), in which some aspects of database query execution are delegated to the storage–especially table scans. ECKD only supports very basic comparison operations on the key field; Exadata, from what I understand (I used to work for Oracle, but not in this area) can evaluate complex predicates over the whole database row.

I'm reading GP as sarcastic and saying the preëxisting sexism explains it adequately, i.e. yes sexist, but because tech not because Indian.
Johannes Gutenberg produced the primary, and, by far, the most serious, application for type setting 575 years ago, long before the era of the Linux desktop. It's called The Book. Read one some time, and maybe you'll learn what a comma is for.
Another thing I've noticed aside from caste discrimination (as a white guy) is how much Indians talk about marriage (and the way it's talked about)

I saw this post on blind a couple months ago where a woman engineer reported her manager to hr because he asked her if she was married point blank. Most of the top voted comments were really nasty towards her, calling her mentally ill etc. I have other examples on top of this from work or uni but this was the most poignant one

We search for something on YouTube and we get results that have nothing to do with the query.

Those results are not search. They are a means of forcing people to see listings of "viral videos", or at least ones with significant number of views, for the sake of advertising. And God help the person searching if auto-play is enabled/default.

We can eliminate the garbage by excising everything after the JSON key "shelfRenderer" up until the key "collapsedItemCount". What's left are the results that actually relate to the search query. For example, I did a query for an album title for an older band that returned 46 results, including songs in playlists. 33 of these results appeared outside the aforementioned JSON keys and related to the query string. The rest were totally unrelated to the query string. A couple had nothing to do with music.

The searcher's previous internet history, details of their personal life, whatever Google may have collected, is irrelevant to the person searching. The person searching submits a query and expects the results will relate to the query, not anytning else, such as whatever may be popular on YouTube.

Google will argue these ridiculous YouTube recommendations are no different from a web search engine.

What would be the consequence of not being able to insert those 13 "suggested videos" and just returning the search results. Less revenue for Google. Because the many of those 33 resutls might not be getting many views. They might be obscure videos with small audiences that no advertiser would pay to reach.

Google has admitted that the vast majority of web searches have no significant potential for advertising. Could it be that the vast majority of YouTube videos have no significant potential for advertising.
