I know something about sacrifice (my father sacrificed a lot and in time i also did something similar) so i hope my suggestions are helpful to you.

1) First off, it is your duty to help and look after your Mother/Grandmother/Sister as long as possible. You are all in it together and each have to be clear about their responsibilities and contributions so that your family as a whole is stable. Best case is relatives/friends help out and worst case is you are on your own. The latter is what you need to prepare for.

2) Second, set your Mental Attitudes right. Build up Fortitude and dial down Expectations and Wants drastically. Your mantra should be "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush" until you achieve a financial sweet spot. The immediate future is going to be very difficult and unless and until you "keep it together" things are apt to blowup. Be prepared to do a lot of sacrifices.

3) Third, Financial planning and stability is everything at this stage. You and your Mother absolutely need to keep your jobs and bring in some steady income. Grandma can take care of household chores along with your Sister. No money should be "wasted" on anything frivolous. Everybody should know and be asked to deliver on their specific Responsibilities.

4) Fourth, i foresee your Sister as a source of possible problems in the near future. All of you need to sit down with her and make her realize the precariousness of your current situation and how she needs to "grow up" now. No unnecessary expenses and if possible she too needs to get a job asap and help out the family. Only after you have reached a financial sweet spot should she (and anybody else) be allowed to indulge in their "Dreams".

Good Luck!
You could abstract this for any technical area to show how empty of a statement it ends up being. Thinking about Teslas:

A small wiring change had massive ramifications. The car construction is extremely brittle for no good reason.

Will ultimately need a complete redesign.
The article quotes seem inconsistent:

"University of Ottawa tested the samples and found that only 87% contained pure epinephrine, while the other 13% had been 'transformed into extremely poisonous benzoic acid derivatives'"

against

"In fact, no epinephrine was found in the 'after' EpiPen solution samples"

If it's the former, you probably want to use a different EpiPen if you have a choice, but it might still save your life, whereas if it's the latter it's completely useless.

Also they were only flown under a high altitude balloon or on a sounding rocket, so probably didn't get a very high dose of radiation for very long. If you're a pilot and carry an EpiPen on many long-haul flights, wont your EpiPen will get similar exposure?
Couple of ideas:

Find a subreddit whose rules and culture
allow posting of your project.

Try to get interviewed by freelancing podcasts.
Do you have data for this "large number of cases"? Large how? Large compared to what?

You're being surprisingly thick. My comment of course applied to things that were legal. If gambling is legal what's the moral high ground to judge people who gamble exactly?

Online gambling has a lot of guardrails to help people not go too far. Doesn't always work but I would like to see some numbers fueling your outrage.
I don't equate free enterprise with capitalism or the lack of it with socialism, if that's what you're talking about. It's quite late and I'm tired, but to answer in one sentence: China is socialist due to having governance focused on building a stronger society rather than a stronger GDP.

I don't think China is necessarily a great model for the world, but they definitely practice socialism IMO, and despite their many failures I admire the way they have been able to compromise and adapt to the circumstances without abandoning their core principles. Much of the western commentary seems to be based on a very shallow and historically-colored view of what a communist country is and should be without acknowledging the internal complexity and long-term thinking that drives those decisions.
This is horrible, in NL we have the "international version" of Alexa and we don't get any of this crap, just a basic voice assistant that can play music and control smart home devices.
It effectively can't have that. Quote statuses are practically just a special way of formatting a link to another status in the message text at the moment. There's a proposal iirc to try and create a more genericized version by extending AP, but it's stalled if memory serves me right.

Even so, you're going to have implementations that will happily ignore those choices; as long as the body of an external post is obtainable in some way (right now most info is just in the embed meta tags), someone can make a version of it that ignores permissions.
It's a simple case of willfully hiding important information in the last place anyone will look. Awareness of these tactics is a useful skill to have in low-trust societies, and when used as a teaching tool it will guarantee the outcome to be a low-trust society.
I think this discussion is 20 years too late, the only reasonable way forward is IPv6 or bust. We're reached the end of the IPv4 space and the pressure is mounting; any imaginable backwards-compatible technology would have to run for many years in a limited mode where it's basically just a better way to do NAT traversal and only then, when most endpoints are compatible, you would get to see the address-space relief benefits.

Another nail in the coffin of a graceful upgrade from IPv4 is the widespread filtering of IP options in the backbone, the only practical way I know you could craft an extended IPv4 packet that is still routable by the legacy infrastructure while forwarding and maintaining all the extra header data required for routing in the IPng realms. This was not necessarily true in the early 90s, and many hardware generations would have had the ability to fix it.

So I somewhat disagree with the GP that IPv4 was not forward compatible: it included a mechanism for just that in the form of IP options that seemed like a good idea in 1983, but which proved technically inappropriate for the future needs of the internet. So you can't really fault IETF for wanting to break away from that and earnestly thinking people would just upgrade.

> It is stunning that Amazon wasn't the forerunner in using ChatGPT/LLM-based tech for Alexa

I'm a current scientist at Amazon. Amazon has little ability to invest in longer term research. While you have scope to pursue projects without immediate product application to some extent (though far less than you would at Alphabet/Meta/Microsoft), that is less valued than at the other Big Tech companies. There's also a far more bureaucratic hurdles to jump through to publish at Amazon. The lack of care for non-product research shows at every instance. Amazon also has extremely low -- or I should say non-existent standards for hiring scientists. If you're putting a person with a decent and non-existent pub record on the same level, that is not going to yield great results.

Luckily for Amazon, their bread and butter -- Ads via retail and AWS -- are not immediately threatened by LLMs.

Honestly if they had taken the billions they burnt on Alexa and put it in research they would be far far far better off today. But try explaining that to the bean counter mentality of executives that Bezos cultivated...
I just think it's the incredible to realize that with all this technology available to us, human brains are still where (most or at least much?) knowledge and lore are stored and retrieved from.
1. They didn't go into space. They went on a high altitude balloon.

2. If this were actually true, people's epipens would be getting destroyed in transport whenever people fly on aircraft. There's even cosmic radiation on the ground.

3. Maybe don't automatically trust elementary schoolers to do good science.
Do they unpack what the 30% includes? Is that revenue, VMs, accounts?

You both might be interested in this little Nim program "framed" to frame & digest text for near-duplicate detection:

https://github.com/c-blake/ndup/blob/main/framed.nim

which does a rolling hash with the late Bog Uzgalis' Buz Hash which is (IMO) about 10x simpler than Rabin fingerprinting. It's really just xor out old, xor in new.

In my context of near duplicate detection I worry about false negatives as well as false positives and displaying near-bys to the user & such. So, things are set up for random seeds for very independent framings & digests (to avoid unlucky ones). { This is very different from the more common "backup/rsync/transfer" context of "content-based slicing" aka "content-defined chunking". }
Ya I accidentally stumbled into "taking" lions mane daily. In the process of breaking a caffeine addiction I sought out anything that was "coffee-like" as a replacement habit, and of the options, one that was simply one type of mushroom turned into powder seemed the 'most safe' easy choice.

Now I'm wondering how much of the (profound) benefits of ditching caffeine may have actually been enhancement by the lion's mane...
I had a brainwave recently. I was tired and looking at two XML documents which looked identical to me and I thought hey, let's see what ChatGPT thinks. So I asked it to describe to me what the differences were between the two documents and it immediately just started talking about elements that it had completely made up. Every time I asked it why it was doing that it apologised but then doubled-down on making even more stuff up. Eventually I asked it to show me what its understanding was of the two documents I was asking it to compare and it showed me two completely unrelated XML documents
why should a scientific community be more valid than lesswrong when it comes to discussing LLMs? this isnt science, and though i also think this post isnt my cup of tea, and pseudoscience is distasteful when poorly done, let people express themselves the way they want. live and let live
Longevity company with drug emerges from stealth
Thank you very much. I'll do this.
Agreed, people wildly underestimate how difficult it is to produce correct code. I think if people adopted the mindset that it's impossible, we'd be closer to the truth. Some of these important projects should only hire genius-level developers who code at a max speed of 1 line per day. Every line of code should be added with an unfathomable degree of thoughtfulness and care. I wish I was joking, but I'm not.

Shipping a non-trivial program which has more than a few thousand lines of code borders on impossible.
I wonder if whoever coined that phrase knew that it would be used so often in contexts where people want both obscurity and security based on their own respective merits.
It's because the private jets question is stupid. Jets aren't affordable to a median wage earner.

"Where did you get the %50 figure from?"

It's literally the definition of a median.
It doesn't have a model it is a model and it's a model of language. It's never interacted with the world, only with text. There are patterns and relationships among words that can describe the real world, that's why we can use it to communicate complex ideas. The problem is that the map is not the territory.
That is the effect of all those moderators working.
Avoiding Single-Point-of-Failure and Securing the Root Infrastructure: TPM 2.0
I was annoyed by the default OpenAI ChatGPT slow-typing animation and logging me out every day, so I built a new UI client on top of its API.

It's a static web app, you can host it yourself, data is stored locally on your browser, API requests are made directly to OpenAI API without any middle server.

It has some more convenient features that make your that experience way better. Like search chat history, prompt library, integrations, etc.

Would love to hear all the feedback!
And yet, the author of the article teaches board games by not telling a story, but by explaining the winning condition.

Imho, storytelling in a business/teaching/problem-solving context is overrated.
A lot of anecdotes are possibly from some years ago where self-hosting JIRA meant a single server on-premise. You might not get a lot of resources and can be used by the entire organization. The server would be at or over capacity 90% of the time so things could take forever to load.

Self-hosted JIRA also opened up to lots of customisations and hacks, which often weren't performant.
My main take-away is the same, I wonder though whether “parse, don’t validate” is the right term for it. To me, “parse, don’t validate” somehow suggests that you should do parsing instead of validation, but the real point for me is that I still validate (as before), plus I “capture”/preserve validation success by means of a type.
I clicked on the article hoping to find information on potential new cognitive skills humans will need to learn to differentiate Large Language Model (LLM) hallucinated facts from real facts, but unfortunately the article doesn't touch upon this.

Reading the comments it seems likely that the article is itself LLM-generated blogspam, in which case it won't be aware of the potential for hallucinated facts.

I was thinking the other day that we really need a new term for this. In 2016 we had "post-truth", but that implies humans deliberately making stuff up to deceive people, for whatever reason, but LLMs making stuff up don't really knowingly do so, and don't really have a motive. There is the term "consensus reality", but the danger is that with more and more LLM-generated content appearing on the internet, which may ultimately pollute future training, we may find "consensus" isn't sufficient to determine reality any more. Perhaps the new term for what we're heading towards could be something like the "post-reality" era, or something like that.

Not sure what the solution to this is either, other than withdrawing from the mainstream internet and sticking to the small known pockets of human resistance (while they still exist).
love the use of ML for doing this kind of analysis!
Well, Europeans called that "SCART". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCART

So I feel like there is a kind of rush towards just letting AI do everything for us, this is where I think the mistakes will start.

Personally, I think it's still important to study, learn to innovate, and stand on your own two feet, learn survival tactics etc in case we actually do end up in some type of economic collapse or worse from "The AIs".
So, is this still completely closed source?
Also not sure my home dishes would cope with the rapid heating and cooling, I’m pretty sure my plates are not designed to thermal cycles that quickly, to say nothing of the glasses.
With jabber I could

- play simple games on Jabber thru the client, like chess or checkers

- inline LaTeX with Kopete

- embedded YT videos with Kopete or some Pidgin plugins

- automatic message translating with Google Translate or
similar. It just worked. Again, it was a Pidgin plugin

- OTR/Omemo encrypted chats

- video/audio chats

- multi user chats

- file transfers

- chat from either text mode or from a graphical client

- chat with Gtalk peers

- scribble in a whiteboard

Please, gen-Z ers, stop comparing Discord with IRC, you just show ignorance. If any, compare Discord with Jabber and what we had from 2007 to ~2013-14 and beyond.

IRC and IM are totally different platforms with polar opossite usages. IRC chats were made to be public in order to join a public conversation, IM was made to chat between people you already knew, and sometimes in a group with few peers.
Swiss V-ZUG makes good appliances as well.
Just make sure the study is aligned with the principles of respect, beneficence, and justice.

Isn’t that what the article is decrying? “Value Free or Value-laden Science” None of the items listed— especially justice— are intrinsic to science.
I use Siri dozens of times a day via my headphones (mostly for music control) and Alexa at home to control home automation, play music and occasionally answer my stupid questions.
>The largest outbreak of avian influenza in U.S. history has driven up egg prices and raised concerns about a human pandemic, though C.D.C. experts say the risk of that is low.

Only egg prices? Not poultry?
It's hard to tell. How does someone truly know if the estimates are honest? It's more like the manager "assumes" it's right and fine.
Yes, the loss of precision warnings. It may be these only happen if you compile as C++ and not as straight C? (I don’t do straight C much.)

Of course you’ll run into dozens of instances of it with old C code… and my experience has been that some of those instances are bugs similar to this one.
tldr; for those who didn't bother to look for "an explanation" of why the wires were soldered directly to the pins of the IC instead of THE BREAK-OUT BOARD...

> Now, you're probably thinking to yourself: "Why would you not just solder to the nice, big, widely spaced holes for the pin headers?", which is a fair question. I suppose this the one place I opted for a little less jank. You see, differential pairs actually require the length of wires and signal traces on a PCB to be carefully controlled. In theory, if the plus wire was a little longer than the minus wire, the two signals would arrive at the chip at very slightly different times. That would mess up the signal integrity, and maybe even prevent the device from working. All of that said, I'm almost certain that this wasn't required at all.

WAGO pfc controllers series can do everything you mention. They are "just" Linux boxes with a fully featured integrated I/O bus (with any input/output type you can imagine). They can be programmed in pretty much any language and you can deploy with docker.

That said. Really large factories use DCS. (Distributed Control System) they are horribly expensive but integrates everything in one system. Controller programming, Human machine interfaces, MES and even ERP. Best known to me is ABB 800xA and Siemens PCS7.

Twitter algorithm loves generic listicle threads since they get a lot of attention - that's why I only use the "Following" tab.
The stable diffusion stuff shouldn't threaten artists, in the same way that digital art doesn't threaten traditional artists.

It's a fairly unpopular viewpoint that you're taking here, but I also agree with you.

Unless you can actually think of what you want and AI produces it, just like how some people are so good at illustrating they can basically draw exactly what they see in there mind, it's not going to change everything for artists.

I mean there might be cases where I'd use DALL-E to generate some images for a mock-up website design, but I'd still probably higher a designer to create a proper portfolio, provide style guidance etc.

Same for photograph, if I was working on something that was "about" a real thing, like a travel blog, I'd still be working with photographers to take real photos, because...authenticity is important, at least I feel it is, else people would've just used Getty images and thrown there cameras away for the last 30 years.
>Maybe don't automatically trust elementary schoolers to do good science.

We obviously need to get other elementary schoolers to perform a peer review.
I do a mix of Flask and Rails personally. Hotwire Turbo works with Flask out of the box minus the websockets bits which you could make work but you'd need to handle the broadcasting server side bits since Turbo is a client side library.

With contract work I get exposed to a number of different tech stacks too.
Well, performance has been improved by several orders of magnitude since the first release. So maybe it's time to look at https://raku.org again (or first have a look at its new documentation site https://docs.raku.org)
Too bad you didn't try it with much higher degrees.

The world is messy and "the rules" aren't often written out for us in black and white. Teaching somebody to deal with uncertainty by way of studying the problem before jumping in without the full picture doesn't seem like it would create a "low trust society" as you claim. I would suggest it creates people who might look before they leap.

We have enough people on this planet going through life without ever once thinking about what they are about to do.

360K disks also last longer than 1.2M.
