If you don't understand what I'm talking about then you don't understand how how these transformer AIs learn and solve problems, so maybe you shouldn't opine about how AI couldn't pass these tests. Your claimed differences between how humans and AIs work is conjecture that can be explained by what I described rather than fundamental differences in how these systems work.
I'm going off memory here, but I believe the link is that some moai have arms and hands still visible, with the hands holding the belly. This same detail is also visible on some other ancient statues, including some at Gobekli Tepe. It's a specific detail that you wouldn't expect to find so similarly in carvings so unrelated.
A lot of students have fake IDs. Depending on where you look up the information it could be from anywhere from 32% (1) to 69% (2) of students surveyed, and keep in mind there is going to be a bias to lie since its technically a crime. Who knows how many more are borrowing a legitimate ID from an older sibling or similar looking older friend, or are just trying their luck that the bouncer isn't going to card tonight. At a big undergrad school, that's potentially a few thousand kids under 21 getting drunk a night even if a fraction of fake ID holders are capitalizing on their access. Then there's also the kids that prefer to stay in and play video games. League of Legends was the big draw when I was in 10 years ago, I saw kids put in serious shifts in that game in the study rooms of the dorms. All this being said, studying is often isolating and depressing and there are plenty of outlets for college students of every persuasion to put it off as long as possible.

Who was cancelled?

Trolling is making an assertion and then running away when the handwaving doesn't work.

Asking a question isn't trolling.

Please. I'm begging you. I'm down on my hands and knees, genuflecting: who was cancelled?

My assertion is that "the woke mob" is a boogeyman made up by liars to deflect any and all criticism of their terrible positions.

Kind of like how they spread "virtue signaling" around like manure before that phrase lost its outrage generation steam.

I will 100% change my mind if anyone can provide a single person cancelled for this.

Of course they are. If I remember rightly, the EU's NO2 emission standards for vehicles were substantially laxer than the US in order to protect the German car industry and its investment in diesel engines. This resulted in most major cities having NO2 levels in excess of that allowed by EU law, with those countries not really having any good way to come into compliance since they couldn't set their own vehicle emission standards. In the end I think a bunch of cities ended up having to ban older vehicles, screwing over anyone who couldn't afford to buy a new car and generating even more sales for the German car industry.

> That system incentivizes working at schools where children are already likely to be at grade level, have supportive parents, etc. The best teachers will flock to schools that don't really need additional help.

I feel like that's a problem we already have today. Parents who are motivated to get their child a good education will move to places with good educational outcomes. These parents are already invested in how well their child is doing educationally, so they have better support structures at home which is likely the largest difference in educational attainment. So parents who care and can afford to move their students to schools where the majority of other parents are also invested in the education of their children so these schools will perform well regardless of actual teacher efficacy.

So good schools end up having a much higher percentage of good parents which is really what is making these good schools in the first place. If we really want to change education to improve outcomes we need to figure out either how to get parents to take some responsibility for their children or how to improve low outcome schools to the point where they are an adequate substitute for a poor parent.

There is also the problem of causality. Humans are amazing at understanding those types of relationships.

I used to work on a team that was doing NLP research related to causality. Machine learning (deep learning LLM's, rules, and traditional) is a long ways away from really solving that problem.
I created cards as I was learning the topic. And I was doing it daily or twice daily.

I certainly wanted it to work, when I first learned about it I thought it was the answer. But I seemed to get worse and more stressed out because I wasn't learning anything.

As a long time time Linode user I was hoping changes might first happen to improve innovation and the products, before the pricing.

Since the cloud is ultimately someone else's computer, I'd love to learn what setups and providers (other than DigitalOcean) folks are using, including cloud agnostic, or hybrid cloud setups, as ridiculous as it might seem for personal or SMB projects.

Dedicated servers are not the top of mind for me at this time - spent enough time with them and I know what's available to me. Although, one could run their own hypervisor like Proxmox on it to have their own personal Linode pretty easily.
And after the Machine Wars we will have the Buthlerian Jihad, forbidding computers once and for all.

I noticed those comments as well and would make a slightly different point, which is that part of the reason it is good advice is that having a practical goal can be both motivating and directly helpful in the learning process. Motivating because you are more likely to finish a project that you want to use the result of. Directly helpful because it's easier to learn something when you see its utility at work.
You can. You're just paying for compute and having it managed. Here's price estimates for 1,000 hours of audio on GCP: https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/how-to-run-openais-whisper-s...

Ask HN: Rolling Release Distro, or LTS w/ Backports?
I want to upgrade one of my desktop systems here that runs (X)ubuntu 20.04. It's been solid so far, no complaints.

However, I've been trying rolling release distros like PCLOS and Manjaro on other computers, and I like the way they provide newer software, while they also seem to work really well so far.

I saw a Youtube comment where someone recommended Ubuntu + backports as an alternative to a rolling release distro.

This is tempting because a lot of third-party proprietary software companies support Ubuntu really well.

(I'd probably try Kubuntu as it's been a while, but I'm thinking the question is generally the same for *buntu.)

So: What should I know if I try LTS + backports instead of a rolling release? What am I missing? Is it worth a try?

And are there other Debian-based distros I should consider, rolling or no? (Thinking of using apt-clone to help with the migration, and generally liking how Debian works...)

Thanks!
I’m not sure how such technology can ever be cheaper than EVs.

Creating the fuel requires energy, the best supply of high volume, high quality CO2 neutral energy is electricity derived from carbon neutral sources (solar, wind, tidal, etc).

Why would you take perfectly good electricity, use it to create a synthetic liquid fuel using a lossy process (some energy will be lost as heat), then burn that fuel to extract, at most, 25% of the energy you used to create the fuel. Rather than just taking the electricity, putting it in a battery, and running an electric motor. A process that’s 70%-90% efficient.

The cost difference between EVs and ICE cars would have to be astronomical to make synthetic fuel ICE cars appealing when compared to EVs.

There still a use case for synthetic fuels, but that only in situations where you already have a large ICE fleet (could be cars, trucks, ships, planes) that are very expensive to replace, or where batteries don’t mix well with the form of transport (aircraft for example). But for _new_ passenger vehicles, where EVs are basically a solved problem, I can’t see how a new ICE + synthetics fuel could possibly hope to compete with a new EV + electricity.

Adolescence is where the kid-friendly world created by parents, educators and others begins to really give way to the reality of the adult world, and how f'd up it can be and is. Adults have put the transition behind them for the most part and assimilated.

Life may not have gotten much worse. The expectations of what the world is like may have been dumbed down during prior childhood.
I’ve been collecting and publishing data on stock trading by politicians for the past three years. This is the first biggest update I’ve made to the dashboard I built tracking congressional stock trading, and figured there might be some interest here.

Here’s a quick overview of features which were added:

- On the homepage, you can now see data on how stocks have performed since a congressional trade, in the “Recent Trades” table.

- At the bottom of the page is a chart tracking the performance of a Congress Long-Short algorithmic trading strategy.

- If you search for a congressman at the top, you can see all the trades I have on record for that politician.

- If you search for a ticker, you can see all trades of that ticker alongside of a graph showing trades plotted on a price chart for the stock.

- You can pull up even more information on a trade by clicking a row in any of the tables. This page shows details on the transaction, as well as a graph showing the stock’s performance before and after the trade was made.
It’s not a great idea to beat on a mechanical device that’s not up near its operating temperature, but you almost never have to do so.

If you can avoid doing it today in an ICE car, you can avoid it just as much next year in a hybrid, right?

Live in the EU. Psychiatrists are highly uneducated on the the subject of ADHD, and amphetamine-based medication has the stigma of hard drugs. Getting diagnosed is possible but painful when you're always stigmatized and your problems disregard with bullshit reasoning. Psychiatrists who prescribe medication are also treated like drug traffickers and can easily land a jail sentence. Not to mention that medication is also hard to get.

I found out I had ADHD when I started really struggling and getting behind all of my responsibilities and was irrationally angry, agitated and hateful every waking moment of my life. Learning I had ADHD was a relief, but at the same time I feel awful knowing how we're treated.

I don't really deal with ADHD with some kind of routine. It just doesn't work. If I can force myself to work and my mind springs into action, that's great. If it doesn't, I'll try Modafinil or Nicotine. But otherwise, I just go with the waves. There isn't much to do, really.

In regards of relating to you, mood swings for me include spontaneous obsessions towards a subject. Hyperfixation and hyperfocusing on something. Obviously it had its benefits, but I've also been forced by my mind to do something that's was not really important at that time. Negative emotions are mostly constant rumination and intrusive thoughts, although those aren't a problem if I'm obsessing over something that makes me happy. I'm not particularly negative, but I prefer to have something to do if I can, otherwise I'm always stuck in my mind going over imaginary scenarios and ideas. I am also very sensitive to sound, especially. The house can burn down if I am hyperfocusing on something, I wouldn't even feel the skin peeling off of me. But if I am trying to focus on something that must be done, and you even breathe in the same room as me, I will proceed to fantasize about choking you to death.

My short-term memory can often times be peanuts. I frequently get mini panic attacks and check my pockets if I still have my phone and wallet with me.

On the topic of education, I have been traumatized by teachers and my parents. I couldn't even look through a math notebook without getting sick in the stomach. I still can't.

I also got quite bad anxiety from all the trauma and when I'm stressed I have double the constant mind noise. I'm always have a constant monologue with myself in the second person.

RaTG13 is a thousand mutations and several decades of evolution away from SARS-CoV-2, you don't get from having RaTG13 in a lab to SARS-CoV-2. There's no evidence that WIV recovered whole virus of RaTG13 or cultured it. SARS-CoV-2 is not a chimera of a RaTG13 backbone and an ACE2-attaching spike, there's a lot more mutations involved. You also don't get there from serial passage experiments in a lab, you need serial passage through decades and many millions of infections in nature, we can't operate at that scale.
> in how many of those places in which actions took place in the modern era ... did the US, or any other democratic country, ANNEX the place and take it for their own territory?

That seems like an odd condition to add, but I still think the answer would be non-zero if we were more successful in our invasions of sovereign countries. Hard to annex a country that you eventually give up even pacifying.

We are notably invading neither Russia nor the Ukraine.

The connection would have to be truly ancient. We all ultimately came from the same population in Africa, and things like fire making and stone tool making are cultural ideas that date back even further than that time. So maybe other cultural things that pop up in widely different places are really old too.

Maybe bad teachers can pull down performance way more than good teachers can raise it.

You'd need to compare the performances of kids with varying levels of help at home in classes with good teachers vs bad teachers.

My own experience in school was that I tuned out bad teachers completely. If the teacher was good, I engaged more with the material in class. But in all subjects I had my parents' considerable expertise to fill in any gaps. And I did well in every subject, regardless of teacher quality.

A major difference about Digital Ocean (A long time user) why you may want to mindfully avoid them:

- DO intentionally does not let you easily download your disk images for backup or DR easily - which Linode and others do without issue to increase lock in. No need to reply with linux commands on how to do it. :)

- DO has a catastrophic flaw in their infrastructure where they will fail to charge a valid credit cards on file and proceed to delete all servers and backups automatically, and irrevocably.

They should not be trusted with anything in production that can't be mirrored to another cloud.

It is inasmuch as you can modify the engine source if you would like to program your game like that. Most engines maintain a distinction between the engine implementation language (usually C++) and scripting (game implementation) language, and Godot is no different.
If you have 10K tokens in your conversation, the next reply means 10K + len(reply) extra tokens. I estimate 125 rounds of conversation fit in 1M tokens, for $2.
I hope this pricing impacts ChatGPT+

$20 is equivalent to what, 10,000,000 tokens? At ~750 words/1k tokens, that’s 7.5 million words per month, or roughly 250,000 words per day, 10,416 words per hour, 173 words per minute, every minute, 24/7.

I uh, do not have that big of a utilization need. It’s kind of weird to vastly overpay
The problem is that you're the only one who experiences it so you can't prove it to anyone else. How do you know ChatGPT doesn't experience anything?
Why do you say that? Couldn’t you just use dreamstudio.ai?
Interestingly, in T2, you could destroy the entirety of Cyberdyne's tech by blowing up one building. In our world of cloud computing today, it would be very difficult to even know what to blow up.
Doubt. Superintelligence is one thing, but AI as workers is limited to the cost of human workers. Exceedingly unlikely that the cost will stay there and not come down.
I could tell that this was generated by ChatGPT within two or three words. It's very funny that the link it selected for OpenAI's own ethical initiative leads to a 404.

Nevertheless, it failed to comprehend my point. I am not talking about ethical AI... I am talking about _auditable_ AI... an AI where a human can look at a decision made by the system and understand "why" it made that decision.
That at least makes it possible for a car owner to choose a car that does have a fast charging capability. If you don’t choose such a car, you don’t get fast charging which seems both fair and obvious.

She was cancelled and then uncanceled. It is impossible to meet your standards of cancellation unless you wait until the person dies to ensure they aren't uncanceled sometime in the future. That is ridiculous.

>Lol looked her up, she's steve bannon's protege so who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Are you going to make an actual argument or just say people she interacts are bad? Is she a racist, xenophobic white nationalist like you claimed? No? Then admit you were wrong.
Your concern is valid. I worked with programming hybrids and I did it like this:

Engage ICE until operating temperature. Allow auto-turning it off for EM only. Hysteresis to like 2/3 operating temperature.

There is a "force electric" button for like a short ride on all EM.

The reason was to keep engine wear down as well as emission demands.

For one thing, there weren't many contemporaries. Its biggest advantage was its ubiquity. It came out years before MS-DOS. Some microcomputer manufacturers had their own DOSs, but CP/M needed relatively little customization to run on any machine that had an 8080 or Z80-compatible processor, and in most cases it ran better and faster than the hardware manufacturer's DOS.

Microsoft's first hardware product, the Z80 Softcard for the Apple II, was a bestselling product because it gave the Apple an 80 column display and CP/M 2.2 all in one package.
