While public employees do have additional rights against their employers as a result of the Constitution that public employers don’t have, the First Amendment (rather, the 14th, as the 1st does not apply to the States) does not limit states as employers in the same way as it does states in other relations; states are not prohibited from regulating the workplace speech of their employees the same way they are prohibited from regulating speech generally outside of that context.

Public employees have a qualified right to speak on matters of public concern as private citizens without employment consequences; the Ninth Circuit’s model jury instructions on the issue are illustrative of the state of the law on this: https://www.ce9.uscourts.gov/jury-instructions/node/147

I think this is mostly true but depends on the industry and "critical mass".

Your family may need a lot more than just your passwords.

There are a few things you may need to do at the county level, like filling out forms and paying fees so that your state can be executed quickly without additional costs and headaches for your relatives.

A tool that could help you navigate this process depending on where you live and what kind of assets you have would be a lot more helpful IMO.

Providing access to digital accounts is really not that difficult.

I use Google's Inactive Account Manager to give two groups of relatives access to two different accounts where they can download files containing all the user accounts they need.

what music in Elden Ring would be considered classical?

There is a lot of orchestral stuff in general -- but if that's the only criteria for 'classical' music (i'm not of the opinion that it is) then nearly every major game released the past twenty years is jam-packed with classical music..

not to say I didn't enjoy the OST. I love nearly every From Software OST (especially the flamenco inspired Armored Core tracks.); I just feel like calling it 'classical' is a stretch.
> I don't understand how residential housing isn't a big bubble.

It’s not inherently a bubble because it’s driven by demand far outstripping supply. It may prove to be bubble-like if:

A) Some significant % of homeowners see salaries reduced enough they can’t keep up on payments.

B) We suddenly start building massive amounts of additional housing units so a larger % of the population can own/rent a home and the price drops to match the lowest income that still outcompetes the rest of the non-homeowners / non-renters / uncomfortably sharing renters.
What's with all the buttons? My rice maker is about to die, and I've had it since 2007. It has one button: cook. I looked at a Zoji and there are so many settings.

I agree with you!

That being said: police work is dangerous, but not uniquely or disproportionately dangerous: it doesn't crack the top 20 most dangerous jobs in the US[1], nearly all of which pay less than the police do. Being a delivery driver is nearly twice as dangerous, for half the average pay.

When we talk about the dangers inherent to policing, it's maybe worth considering whether those dangers are our own fault: cops in the US employ lethal and "less-lethal" force far often than cops in other countries do, and public trust in the police (leading to panicked interactions) is correspondingly lower.

OpenAI is registered as a research laboratory. It has created a subsidiary corporation that deals with products and profits.

From https://openai.com/blog/introducing-openai

> We’re hoping to grow OpenAI into such an institution. As a non-profit, our aim is to build value for everyone rather than shareholders. Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world. We’ll freely collaborate with others across many institutions and expect to work with companies to research and deploy new technologies.

Does this mean you can have a copy of the model? That is answered in https://openai.com/blog/openai-api

> Why did OpenAI choose to release an API instead of open-sourcing the models?

> There are three main reasons we did this. First, commercializing the technology helps us pay for our ongoing AI research, safety, and policy efforts.

> Second, many of the models underlying the API are very large, taking a lot of expertise to develop and deploy and making them very expensive to run. This makes it hard for anyone except larger companies to benefit from the underlying technology. We’re hopeful that the API will make powerful AI systems more accessible to smaller businesses and organizations.

> Third, the API model allows us to more easily respond to misuse of the technology. Since it is hard to predict the downstream use cases of our models, it feels inherently safer to release them via an API and broaden access over time, rather than release an open source model where access cannot be adjusted if it turns out to have harmful applications.

Here’s my experience(I need to update it again for March):

https://jondouglas.dev/long-covid/

I’m writing a book on my 2+ year recovery. It’s been one hell of a journey. Almost back to 100%. I think I’ve tried literally anything I could find backed science on. Surprisingly the best ones are not talked about much generally. Nitric oxide, nattokinase, and nicotine patches (7 day - 14 days).

Every day matters with this condition. It makes you extremely depressed and anxious constantly. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Of course it matters why people die.

If I was an analyst in the early 1940s analyzing why there was an excess of human deaths and wrongly attributed it to an increase in bear attacks, wouldn't that be really dumb?

If you're trying to solve a specific problem, isn't getting the cause of death wrong a really big deal?
I played wordle the other day with GPT-4.

It also guessed "APPLE" on its first attempt. (It's very odd that the guy who made those tweets experienced the very same first guess.) Astonishingly, GPT-4 was nevertheless able to find the correct word in just three guesses, despite that objectively suboptimal first guess. Impressed the hell out of me.

Also, I did a rather poor job of explaining the rules of the game. With the instruction set I provided, I'm not sure that a human would have been able to figure out how to play at all.

The first time I lived in Italy, in the mid-90ies, the internet was not the ubiquitous thing that it is now so I was not very well connected with the rest of the world, and getting English language books was not so easy.

I was working for a startup roughly 7 years ago that was hoping to hook up neural networks to graph databases and turn clinical notes into database records. We pulled out 70,000 abstracts of case reports from pubmed and trained a character-model LSTM to write fake case reports. I was hoping to go from this to a model that could do information extraction tasks but the founder was interested in messing around with word embeddings, which at the time I thought was a way to guarantee you'd fail before you got started because critical knowledge would always be encoded in out-of-dictionary words and if you lost that... you lost.

Not long after I was working for another startup that was developing CNN models for classification, we were watching fasttext and BERT when they came out and one thing I was impressed with was the subword features which keep the benefits of words but don't fail catastrophically for the out-of-dictionary case.

Now the transformer models are pretrained out masking out random words from the input which is better than "predict the next word" because it is bidirectional and the unidirectional approach causes all sorts of problems. (In text generation, for instance, the LSTM starts out in a very small part of the state space and decides if the patient had cancer or not not by starting out with a latent state the way the patient did or the way the person writing the case report did, but because of the letters that were randomly chosen.)

Somebody might fine-tune that kind of model to do information extraction or classification and I've got a pretty good picture of how the pretraining of a transformer works and how to fine-tune it to do that.

The chatbots are trained by human feedback reinforcement learning to play a character, be helpful, be agreeable even when they refuse to write Hitler speeches, that's another stage of training past "autocomplete".
Effect of religion on fertility is vastly overstated. Education level of women is the biggest factor.
“I was asking what I thought were reasonable questions: Is the electronic classroom an improvement? Does a computer help a student learn? Yes, but what it teaches you is to go to the computer whenever you have a question, rather than relying on yourself. Suppose I was an evil person and wanted to eliminate the curiosity of children. Give the kid a diet of Google, and pretty soon the child learns that every question he has is answered instantly. The coolest thing about being human is to learn, but you don’t learn things by looking it up; you learn by figuring it out.”

The question is coming up yet again with current LLMs and other AI. The previous waves displaced some people but generally modernized by automation many manual processes. Will this wave or the next or the next one after that be the one that displaces the need to learn altogether such that we are totally dependent on the machine and find ourselves unable to proceed without it having lost our aptitude to lean? Of course there will be people who keep on learning because of momentum or because they have an affinity for the old ways, just as we have hose riders, despite modern transportation, but not enough to sustain the system were the future generation of AI to fail (for whatever catastrophic reason like solar blast, etc.)

Amazing! I wonder how much this rules out the espionage, or the connection to Jo Thomson though. I wonder if she sold him the poison or something. In any case, I am morbidly fascinated by stories of people dying alone, without children, and being forgotten. Perhaps because I feel it could be my own fate. Certainly more common than any of us are prepared for, as we are all decendents of the genetic winners.

Too expensive for something with no previews or samples. Interesting idea but I wish there was more to demonstrate the results before purchasing.

> In industries where employees are critical part of business theybhave a vote and meaningful share.

Employees are critical in literally every industry, otherwise they wouldn't be employed.

> For example startups where early engineers have options/shares and management listens to them and wants to keep them happy.

You're confusing "importance to the business" with "market power". Tech employees generally tend to have market power in the current economy. And how many of those options (read: lottery tickets) and shares even grant the employee voting power?

> All critical code is written by early and now very senior engineers, current employees are tiny tiny cogs that are not critical to business.

This is absolutely not true at the companies where I've worked. Can't speak for FAANG.

> I mean look at twitter - musk fired everyone he could and twitter still works.

This is a really weird example to generalize from. Most businesses are absolutely not organized this way.

> Same with google - google could fire everyone outside Search&Ads and still run its cash cow machine.

This is speculation. Google does a lot of things that aren't directly "making money on ads", but if they didn't think those things were worth doing, they wouldn't do them.

> Sadly in most cases with big tech - there is no reason to give a vote to employee class because they are not critical.

Weirder still is the notion that businesses ought to give their employees voting shares based on some notion of criticality to the business. I am arguing that employees should be unified, in a union, and that the union should seek to obtain a nontrivial voting share of ownership in order to ensure that employees are well represented in business decisions. Some leftists argue that the union should be entitled to this share. I won't even go that far, although I think it's a good idea.
Indeed, and I consider myself part of that group! Thanks for the feedback.

These "it solved X" posts leave me wondering what I'm looking at. Possibilities are:

- GPT-4 has never seen Wordle before getting the prompt. If so, I welcome our new AI overloads.

- GPT-4 has seen lots of references to Wordle on the web. This is undoubtedly true for games like Chess, but Wordle was released late 2021. It's still very impressive that it can play a mediocre game a chess just by looking at all the games on the web.

- OpenAI anticipated the question, and did some Wordle training just to precipitate a tweet like this. If so - not so impressive as we have been building AI's that some games better than us for some time now.

I'm betting it's the last one, but I'd sure like to know if it was one of the others.
