That article is just brutally (if not criminally) bad advice.

First, the share they lead the headline with went to effectively zero very shortly after they got out. If they’d waited even a little longer the article would be about how they lost everything betting on one ridiculous stock early in their career. And they don’t even have the decency to tell you what their thesis for getting out was, probably because they didn’t have one.

Second, they actively admit that they spent the downturns putting all their investments in CDs and money markets? In the lowest interest rate environment ever. Then had to chase unicorns to make up for that mistake.

If they’d just put their money in a traditional allocation (or better yet a target fund) they’d be up over their “fortune hunting” approach and probably up even including their lottery winning.

Then it ends with ads for dodgy sounding investments. I don’t know those personally but every thing about that article is fishy and bad advice.
I want my car to have a subscription to nice heated seats when I am stuck in traffic after working unpaid overtime.
> Apparently you might get a ticket for misusing the horn

Many countries have them either as part of the sound rules or separate rules (Since you live in NL, it's a separate offence a 95 euro). It used to be part of the rule standardization process but I'm not sure it still is. Somebody can correct me on that.

The reason the cars stop is good since it provides more time for both drivers to get a grip of the situation and at worse limits the speed of an impact. Though due to cyclist speed increasing due to more electric bikes there is a discrepancy on older (as in more than 5 year old) cycling crossings, not all are designed for 20+kph speeds and it's hard for drivers to notice oncoming fast traffic which is in a bend (looking at you local roundabout with a hexagonal cycling path making it impossible to see cyclists further away than the section you can see due to sharp angles and larger distances created by the hexagon).
Just massive sense of entitlement, either bred by spoiling children, or by abuse, breeding a "might is right" mentality.
Another potential reason is that they may want to have some kind of other user tracking to measure the effectiveness of their ads. Either way though, they could have handled this on the server side and made this much easier. It’s hard to complain when the server refuses a connection because $business_reasons. That would be fine. Blocking due to Geo-IP, a required Pluto client, etc would make sense. But that can all be handled with a technical solution.

But a DMCA takedown for a list of URLs just seems so heavy handed and wrong. It’s like they only know one way to solve a problem. Or they have too many lawyers.

Not to mention - why did the MPA do this as opposed to Paramount?
While that makes total sense, I think the market has been changing a lot. I suspect many more families are renting now where they might not have previously. Owning a place has become more difficult in many areas of the country.

Not sure of the numbers though. Just a feeling, could be totally wrong. Would love to know if there is data for this.
Tina is cool and this is cool!

But I wonder: Why is inline editing so unpopular?

You already have a visual editor, based on HTML. Why not put the content within its context to make the WYSIWYG experience complete?

It's definitely possible to blend in, as demonstrated by the Dokuwiki visual editor (https://github.com/fablab-luenen/dokuwiki-visual-editor). You just use normal HTML tags and they're styled by the surrounding CSS no differently than non-editable text.

I would much prefer actually editing the text on the page over what feels like editing the "source text" in a pane on the side. It just takes you so much closer to the content: My website is already well configured to be comfortable to read (and thus write to), but the sidebar editor is definitely not.

Yet I'm not aware of any (open source) project that does this, even though it seems to me like all the required technical components are there.

Why just distrust mainstream media? Social media and alt media are media too.

Media means to mediate, to get between and regulate discourse. In this case it’s to get between you and reality or you and others in the social media case.

Maybe. https://lhimuseum.com/learn/phasmids/

> In 2014, an unauthorised climbing team sighted live stick insects near the summit of Ball’s Pyramid, in a thicket of sedge plants rooted in very thin soils at an altitude of 500 metres, suggesting that the insect’s range on the island is more widespread than previously thought, and that its food preferences are not limited to Melaleuca howeana.

That species likely was a goner, barring the human breeding program. Successful reintroduction is going to require humans to finish wiping out the rat population on Lord Howe Island (which wiped the insects out there in just two years after their 1918 introduction).

I think prices are mainly going down in smaller areas where rents went up A TON (which is something like 30-40% of the country by population).

This is because the amount of new units deployed was staggering.

In some towns in the Texas Triangle, there were literally more new units delivered this year than existing supply.

Doing something like that in LA or NYC would be absurd, given how much existing supply there is... Nevermind the Nimbyism.

And yet, Orlando has something like a 1/3rd increase in supply coming. So there are some big cities that are exceptions.

If you're in a place like NYC or LA or Chicago - where the increase in supply is like 2% - don't expect much relief from new supply...

Not in particular. Yes, the way they are combining them should be sound.
In the current iteration of app it feels that one can get "gamified" and focus on virtual points instead of actual learning.

One could argue that gamifying makes you engaged longer, but

On a side note: the German course spectacularly fails to introduce articles (der/die/das) in quizzes. Also it feels that it fails at explaining declension / deklination as well. Im using duolingo to refresh my German (that I studied earlier) and it feels that the important part of the language could be pushed better. Especially in those quizes that the app seems to push on everyone to get points. Those quizzes (as much as I hate them) would be so much better if words would have articles. Now for some reason it shows pairs "car" - "auto", when it would be much better to have it "car" - "das auto" to learn the article.

Other posters really commented how the product seems to be less and less focused on learning and more and more on gamification.
Still it is kind of a not bad way to refresh things that I learned at school, when say standing in a queue, but perhaps reading some books / articles with "simple German" and then real articles would be faster.

>> Do you know of any open source projects with the approximately $5 million it takes to train GPT3?

Two things. 1) research into smaller more efficient models and 2) hardware prices will come down for a bit longer. So longer term this kind of thing should be free.

It's common for companies to be first at complex things because the coordinated effort or cost involved, and later that becomes more feasible and cheap or free options become possible. I'm all for inventors/companies getting paid for new developments, but I'm also not terribly excited for them to keep innovation locked up and charge rent on it for eternity. This works out in most cases at varying pace, but not always.
Ugh, talk about a false equivalence

No, someone who pops out to the shops should not have to think about putting on reflective gear, someone who goes out in a car a night should be the ** aware pedestrians exist and know to turn their lights on.
I get the rage, but honestly, could have OpenAI reach its goals, this product, if it stayed non-profit? If it wouldn't have gotten this money? How much capital, progress did it have before and after switching the status? The article says directly that they got 1B from Microsoft right after the change.

Every previous OpenAI thread on HN is filled how expensive is it to train and run these models, yet we somehow expect that this money comes out of thin air? Why would someone - including governments, foundations, grants - finance such research before other endeavours when it costs this much, the outcome and its effects are so unpredictable, the chance of misuse so high?
> But the result will be the same for the common people: some black box makes a decision that can ruin your life, if you are unlucky - and with no chance of changing it.

Not sure how that's all that different from good-old bureaucracy?
The reason I'm suspicious of these claims is because there's no empirical evidence to support them. I have this pet peeve about news people when they say "the market was up|down today on fears of _" and all the news does it, from Fox to PBS. As if there was some kind of survey attached to every trade asking "Why are you paying more|less for this stock than you were previously?" and the news people are all analyzing this data. They're not. There's no such polling data, and so how could they possibly know the reasons millions of people move in a certain direction on a certain day? They're just guessing. Or else, it's a way to prop up their own credibility. Anything the market does must be due to whatever other stories they've decided to report on today. It's narcissism.
To add to this, Amazon recently got rid of DRM-free stuff from Comixology.

Then as part of Kindle-unlimited, to fight Kindle-unlimited piracy, they rolled out a new drm system everywhere which took out DRM removal on purchased books in the crossfire.

Along with Amazon music changes preventing previewing songs before purchase I have no idea what's going on there. I guess streaming allows them to skim more from publishers/authors hence why they're pushing it so hard, readers/listeners be damned.
Throughput is mostly independent of road as distances between cars increase more than you can speed up to compensate (you reaction time stays the same or get's worse). Type of road can make a difference, obviously dirt makes the distance requirements worse. If people also exit/enter the road it's even worse.

I was assuming an ideal road though with everyone sticking to the same speed. Cross lane movement and speed difference in traffic also places limits and slower speeds limit both of those afaik.
someone should post this on today's "who's hiring" ... to meet the April deadline.
The thing with the ads doesn't happen for me though. Between the episodes on PlutoTV the browser / app would serve individual ads. But the video stream itself only has some synthwave style PlutoTV logo playing during that time.

> "mainstream media refers to media organisations that are prominent in the current cultural and political environment"

So Fox News and Breitbart are mainstream media?

Fox is the most watched TV channel in the United States — hard to argue they're not an essential part of the current political environment. And Breitbart is certainly more prominent and influential than a niche site like The Verge. The latter's editors don't get White House jobs.

What middle class? None of the younger people from the article are middle class. Struggling to pay rent is not a middle class activity. And Techer/Nurse are not good jobs given the low pay (not just compared to other "profressional" jobs but compared to manual jobs once you take into account the cost of student loans and time lost to study).

The problem here is people who are working class (a class lower than their parents) but somehow think they are middle class. You've been demoted but no one told you. Sorry.
Linux Mint comes with Hypnotix that contains free feeds for 974 TV channels world-wide, and 171 US-En Movie channels. Of these are nearly all of Pluto TV's channels, many of the free movie channels available on Roku, and even a few channels I can get over the air.

Given my browser's built-in privacy 'stuff' (plus uBlock Origin and uMatrix), and the block lists in my firewall, the funny thing is that I leak the most PII data watching OTA TV via the HDHomeRun app on my phone (I prefer their app to VLC on my phone). MPA needs to take a time-out, maybe catch up with technology.
> infrequent/irrelevant traffic deaths

I’m all onboard the accuracy train with you, but I must say that describing any kind of traffic death as “irrelevant” seems very cold. Every person that dies on the road matters.
It's a way of sucking in ppl who have a desire to learn a language and to fool themselves that they are actually working productively towards that goal by using duolingo when instead, they're essentially procrastinating

Are they not sentient?

> I've yet to see a single person who thinks these models are sentient demonstrate an actual understanding of how they work.

Condescendence aside, I don't know how you can truthfully claim that. Did you actually hand out test papers to those people and they failed? Or did you tautologically conclude those people don't understand it because there's no way a person can understand how transformers work and still arrive at a different conclusion as you did? You might think your logic is watertight, but I think, as mentioned, this is probably an empirical question.

> Humans can be sentient without language. Indeed; some humans are tragically raised in isolation and struggle mightily with language after being saved. A transformer is nothing without language.

That doesn't sound irrelevant to me. Drivers around my area have a tendency to not quite stop at stop signs before rolling into the crosswalk. If they're going slower they have more ability to react to a pedestrian stepping out into the crosswalk.
The "edit distance" errors would seem to be the tell that yours is a better explanation, perhaps along with problems matching near-edit-distance numbers (tokens) in latent space.

In A operand B equals C any of the 3 numbers can compress to a same space as a 'close' number or numbers in some problem out in web space. So while the author googled the expressions he asked, I wouldn't expect those to be found verbatim when answers are wrong; rather, to your point, the author should web search for tokens, or web search for problems within, say, +/- 3 for each digit of tokens, in all permutations.

That seems histrionic...what rewrites or dynamics are going to be significantly changed? I mean, it's a fascinating discovery and all and thank gawd our ancestors were so clever. A timeline or two might get updated, but the headline seems to be "culture that left little evidence of their existence figured out how to make steel to make marks on hard rocks; no one else picked up on it for a millennia or two". This isn't by any means the first time we've found some ancient culture figured out something really neat earlier than we expected but it didn't go anywhere at the time.

Methodological problems and misleading title aside, the article did a really poor job of explaining why there appears to be some kind of unexpected increase in pedestrian fatality rates. The only putative causes specifically mentioned were more even temporal distribution of traffic and increase in reckless driving, but no data were provided to support these assertions.

It’s a BS article. (Tongue-in-cheek) maybe it was written by ChatGPT.
It helps avoiding typos, but most are well indicated by the code highlighting of the code editor, even for Python.

It helps to use the right data type when 'connecting' two objects. But it constraints the usefulness of code that can rely on the behaviour of the objects instead of the type.

It clutters the code: you have to read (and write) way more text. Which makes errors more probable.

It forces to think about primitive data types, so steals time maybe better spend thinking about higher data structures (list, dictionary,...) or algorithm.

YMMV.

Another quote from Knuth, from that same paper:

> The improvement in speed from Example 2 to Example 2a is only about 12%, and many people would pronounce that insignificant. The conventional wisdom shared by many of today's software engineers calls for ignoring efficiency in the small; but I believe this is simply an overreaction to the abuses they see being practiced by penny-wise-and-pound-foolish programmers, who can't debug or maintain their "optimized" programs. In established engineering disciplines a 12% improvement, easily obtained, is never considered marginal; and I believe the same viewpoint should prevail in software engineering. Of course I wouldn't bother making such optimizations on a one-shot job, but when it's a question of preparing quality programs, I don't want to restrict myself to tools that deny me such efficiencies.

That paper was published in 1974 and yet it captures the mindset of many a programmer in 2023 perfectly. The part I like about this paragraph is the "easily obtained" sentence; I saw a comment from someone mentioning that they made a JavaScript program 10 times faster by replacing the common functional programming combinators (map, filter, reduce, etc.) with for loops. I think most of us would say such a change is easily obtained, does not make the code impossible to debug or maintain, and gives such a massive improvement that it should be a no brainer to reach for it.
