I don't think Chicago is a good example of this, given who the two runoff candidates are: the proto-Republican (there is no serious Republican nominee for Chicago mayor, only the Republicaniest Democrat) and a neo-Defunder who is likely to win.

Chicago has much more to do with outgoing mayor Lightfoot's across-the-board negatives --- with her handling of the school system, with her COVID handling, and with her handling of the police department --- than it is a straightforward reaction to crime.
Hopefully firmly in the had serious health challenges category.

If you don’t know her videos, I think Simone produces some of the greatest content on youtube. Deeply authentic, highly skilled, with a really funny subtext of knowing absurdist humor to them. Really great content.

No, you missed the point and that's not what I'm assuming. What you're stating is still not really actionable. Like what else specifically should he have said?
That’s similar to my experience. For the couple claims I’ve had, the process has been flawless with ICBC. Not so for my extended family in Ontario.

I don’t think Spotify web would have DRM if it required manually installing crap like silverlight. Music went drm free because it was inconvenient, and then when the drm was refined a bit, it’s all locked up so the web ui doesn’t work on Asahi.
Thanks! I was trying to figure out what the heck a beamer was. Didn’t seem likely to be a BMW which is the only thing I’ve heard folks in the US call a beamer.

And almost all serious general-purpose languages use 0-based. It is more natural at least to me. You see, this is exactly why 1-based index of Julia is disliked by many.
Almost none of the most popular/important zones on the Internet aren't signed, so there is little impetus for providers to support DNSSEC. IPv6 is a more annoying lapse.

Same thing with people saying "I trust company X with my data." Do you also trust the next 4 CEOs and the next 10 governments who will have authority over them?
Without reading the article nor being an expert in intelligence (but hey, I'm a certified HN commenter), probably the reduced stimulation (reduced interaction with friends and the wider world outside the home) is what was detrimental to intelligence development.

To use an extreme comparison, children who were locked up in basements also come out being less mentally capable than their peers.
What is the training referred to in the article? Fine tuning or do they just mean hours of "in context learning" (talking to the bot)?

I get the feeling that this should be the job of (giant) robots or drones. The number of aircraft models is quite limited (relatively speaking, compared to, say, cars on the road), and the aircrafts should all have well-known geometry that robots or drones can be programmed against.
Terrible analogy. The insurance in the case of banking deposits changes human behavior to entice them to leave the money in the bank. History shows it. Fire on the other hand isn't aware of insurance, and if anything it makes humans less careful and your house more likely to burn.

This "don't underestimate the stupidity..." might feel like a clever or wise speech to give, but history suggests the FDIC has been incredibly successful at reducing bank runs. Insert "those who don't learn history...." speech here.

I've had numerous days just like this.

The perfect use case for ChatGPT for my personal workflow has been to give me the 70-percent-of-the-way-there skeleton for a given query, Terraform module, or even just to prevent myself from lookup up the syntax of for loops in <language> for the 30,000th time. I can then take that 70 percent chunk and bolt on my edge cases as I go.

There hasn't really been a time where the answer didn't need some massaging and of course occasionally it's flat out wrong, but that's becoming more and more apparent to me those instances are the result of feeding it sub-optimal prompts. I've found it to be eerily similar to my experience learning to use search engines back before SEO titles were a "thing."

It's frankly incredible how little I find myself using a traditional search engine compared to six months ago, at least in the context of work stuff. I'm less inclined to feed it general knowledge prompts, but it's encouraging to see the remarkable LLM tech leaps from generation to generation, and in such short order.
Doesn't stop a run

10 people put $10 in your bank. You give someone a loan for $50 and leave $50 in the vault. 7 of your customers take $10 out, you are screwed.
While I value your thoughts, judging by the other comments on here, you are in the minority. I REALLY did/do want to like them and their product. Being on a Mac, I have tested both their standard and beta browser. It is decent. However, after seeing Kagi go from free to paid and now being even more, I see the same happening with their browser down the road. I just do not want to invest my time into an experiment only to be treated the way they have to their users. It is just shady.
Dumb question: Why can't we do this with reactors and repurposed oil rigs out in the middle of the ocean? If it sinks or melts down yeah that sucks, but water is exceptionally good at shielding radiation so just chuck it over a trench and call it a day?
Completely beside the point, but coconut lumber is used for structural applications. The trees need to be fairly mature though.
My hypothesis is that we will soon see the emergence of a super-human artificial intelligence, not because of some astounding breakthroughs in our understanding of intelligence, but because of irrefutable proof that humans just aren't all that complicated to surpass.
The problem is that people also sometimes get stuff wrong and hallucinate. So ChatGPT is just mimicking how we behave and it seems completely normal.
> What does this prove about SQL being inferior to other languages

My point is that I think it is inferior for general application/business logic programs. For queries that filter large datasets to small result sets, SQL is probably better as it has the built in indexes and query planner (plus ACID).

I am pointing out that the current environment (better text editors and package managers) favours general languages, so they are a better current choice (to use in combination with SQL) over just writing everything, including application logic, in SQL.

Before the had the internet, back when we still had newspapers, we had a similar phenomenon referred to as Gell-Mann Amnesia.

> Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues.

> In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

My experience has been the opposite. I’m generally happier here with auto insurance than I was in Ontario.

Regarding the ICBC add-on for US liability… aren’t all ICBC policies exclusively sold by independent brokers? If true then wouldn’t that have been an independent broker who was mistaken and ICBC proper cleared it up?
This is baseless speculation
As others have pointed out, free cash balances should be OK. RH should have SPIC (SIPC protects against the loss of cash and securities – such as stocks and bonds – held by a customer at a financially-troubled SIPC-member brokerage firm. The limit of SIPC protection is $500,000, which includes a $250,000 limit for cash.) For amounts above SPIC they may have additional insurance in place

However (you knew that was coming, right?) none of these things, including the FDIC insurance, are instantaneous. But they are much faster, at least for retail, than days gone by. Lehman retail accounts were mostly transferred to solvent brokers within a week. Of course if you need to sell something (or buy to cover) every hour of waiting could be costly.

ChatGPT did something today I had never thought to do.

I needed to extract info out of a page with quick and dirty js. I always just copy and paste the data after console log. But this time, I used ChatGPT. Gave it an example of the html and told it how I wanted the csv.

It wrote code that made the csv, but then also created a Blob with the right mime from it and an anchor element, appended the anchor element to the document and called the click() to download the csv direct! Mind blown. Makes me wonder how many other simple things I just have never thought to do but ChatGPT will uncover.
Looks great. Good work DDG!
"I don't recall" is never where these things end. It's not a magical phrase to make people go away.

Follow up questioning that is quite reasonable in my opinion would be along the lines of "What efforts have you made to find where you stored the recording?" "What is your usual practice with these recordings?" and that's where you trip yourself up and reveal the lie.

Others might be questioned and say that you're fastidious about keeping track of your data, further underscoring that you're keeping something from them.

I don't think this 'maniacal' in the slightest but that is a characteristic you perceive in the process. Remember only one person is being evasive here - you.

Whether it's bad for you is irrelevant, if you're responding to a court order you absolutely want someone who has a thorough understanding of the law to guide you through it (unless you're thoroughly familiar yourself, but most people are not).

Even if we aren't talking about court orders, any interactions with the police beyond small talk should be guided by a lawyer for the same reason. Arrogance has no place when interacting with the law, the complexity of which is far beyond the understanding of common men.

With Kagi raising their prices again. By again, I mean from free to last years charge to the new rates now. They have a way to keep track of search results and I was wondering if there is a chrome/firefox extension that will do just that. You pick your search engine you use, and it would keep track of each time you did a search and show you a report. I am just curious how much I actually use a search engine.
Wants to watch FooBar S01E42.

Opens Netflix, but it’s not there? Huh, this show is licensed by BarBaz company, so goes to their website.

Good, it’s here. Wait… “Watch” button is greyed out? “Content is not available in your region”?

Or simply the company decided that your device is not good enough to play the video at full resolution (e.g. Apple TV does that in LG TV app), and standalone device is like 3x overpriced in local stores?

OK, searches for some random VPN (that’s the part where spammy domains and adware come into play). Finds something that seems to be working.

Or not? Searches for the problem, and oh no, the region lock is actually based on the account, and to change that you need to use a card or ID from that specific region or whatever.

Searches for this stuff (more spammy domains), finds a marketplace, gets scammed but luckily there is a buyer protection so gets refund.

Gives up, opens some popular torrent tracker/forum, downloads 2160p HDR/DolbyVision WebRip/BDRip, can watch with friends offline at a local party.

It's called monocrystalline capacity, why not at least be explicit?

> "However, China currently represents more than 80% of the solar PV manufacturing supply chain and is expected to increase in the coming years."

China has invested a lot over the past decade in figuring out how to pump out monocrystalline silicon wafers at scale, and the USA has not, resulting in a massive advantage for Chinese companies in the sector. They've been extremely secretive about the technology, see this from 2018 and there's not been a whole lot since:

That's essentially the issue.
We have perfectly good reactor designs that can go down to half power or even lower without problems, and that's plenty of scaling. And they can scale in real time too. The biggest issue is that it increases the average cost per watt, which is not that big of an issue.
There is substantial evidence that cross training on multiple tasks improves performance.

ChatGPT struggles with intuition about the world, if it has image/video knowledge than it can potentially reason about what happens when you flip a plate upside down.

> All of my opinion is based on promises and demonstrations for ML products such as Cognex VIDI.

I see! Thank you for the explanation. That now makes sense.

Basically you were talking about what is available on the market as a product, and I was talking about what the state of the art is in machine learning. Now obviously if you actually want to put a factory line together you care about the available products, not what is possible in theory.

It is kind of like asking someone if it is possible to travel to the moon. If you are asking a physicist they will do some calculations with the rocket equation and will tell you that it is perfectly possible. If you ask the same question from a travel agent they will tell you it is not possible because they can’t sell you a moon holiday right there and then. They are both right, just in different contexts.

> If those systems have capabilities like you describe, they have not been well presented during their sales pitches.

All I can tell to those companies is that they should “git gud”. :)

I asked it to generate me documentation for a handful Bicep definitions and include links to the official Microsoft Docs. It generated about 50% erroneous links, but once I updated my prompt and fed it the "root" of the MS docs I wanted it to use, it was able to correct all the urls.

At the time it _seemed_ like it wasn't just doing a mindless string replace, because different parts of the url changed on most of the erroneous links. I figured it wasn't going out and spidering the link I gave, but it led me to believe maybe there was _some_ form of index that it simply hadn't prioritized prior, but was able to do with the additional context.

I think that's because the difference between the top of that 1% and bottom of that 1% is a magnitude of thousands. It goes from a few million to hundreds of millions, and up to many billions.

The bottom of that 1% doesn't have to worry about spending money for daily things, but going higher, the upper portions can spend on _anything_. So, the difference at least feels large between the rich and "obscenely" rich, as opposed to the 50%ers vs the 75%ers.
I think this is right.

Setting aside the creativity aspect (ie where do brand new ideas come from), which is a minuscule fraction of human thought, I suspect we are good pattern matching machines with the ability of extrapolation.

The problem is accurately perceiving the remaining snow/ice coverage on the airplane, unless you have a guaranteed-clear-on-first-pass solution (you don't). Sure, you can get it "mostly" clear with current CV, but you have to be absolutely clear or serious incidents will result (some aircraft suffer significant aerodynamic consequences from ice less than 1mm thick). Neither airport operators nor airlines will seriously consider a robotic solution unless it outperforms human operators, and the potential liability is high barrier to entry.

The article was full of cherry-picked examples and straw man style argumentative techniques. Here are a few ways I have used ChatGPT (via MS Edge Browser AddOn) recently:

- Generate some Dockerfile code snippets (which had errors, but I still found useful pointing me in the right direction).

- Help me with a cooking recipe where it advised that I should ensure the fish is dry before I cook it in olive oil (otherwise the oil will splash).

- Give me some ideas for how to assist a child with a homework assignment.

- Travel ideas for a region I know well, yet, I had not heard of the places it suggested.

- Movie recommendations

Yes, there are a lot of caveats when using ChatGPT, but the technology remains remarkable and will presumably improve quickly. On the downside, these technologies give even more power to tech companies that already have too much of it.
