It says nothing about the OS it runs on, which IMHO is lame.

The issue with placing that in the DA's office is they work closely with police on basically all their other cases so they have an incentive to not antagonize the police by actually holding them accountable. The ideal situation is a separate body just charged with dealing with police misconduct so they don't have to worry about police torpedoing their day to day case load in retaliation.
The geometric mean is used in modern definitions of inflation (in the UK, this is the "consumer price index" rather than the older "retail price index", which used the arithmetic mean). There are various justifications for this change, the real reason is the GM-AM inequality.
> If it's a conversion happening on your own site then no, you can't fake that.

The problem with this approach is that it's a "he said, she said" situation where both parties can claim that the other is producing fraudulent numbers. It can only be resolved with litigation, which is not what anyone wants when all they wanted to do is get some sales numbers up.

Also, if you're familiar with the state of advertising fraud, faking conversions with botnets and residential proxies are an absolutely real thing.

I definitely saw a chat history that wasn't one I started. It was a single question and response in Japanese (which I don't know). The title in the sidebar seemed to match the conversation.

Edit: I'm getting upvoted, so I want to clarify that I don't have proof, but this did happen, only for a single chat. I dumped all the text into Google Translate (don't judge me - you'd do the same!) and it was a boring scientific question. I was amazed that it happened at all and felt pretty gross about it. Like most other people, I also saw a lot more chats in the sidebar that I couldn't open.

,,For Ryu, she said having children is not worth sacrificing her career.

"The reality is that one of the parents has to resign from work or take a long break, but the problem is, it's almost always the female or the mom who has to take a leave," she said

This was always like that, having a kid means very serious sacrifice in other parts of life (for example for women it's selecting a less attractive partner in exchange for higher stability, for men it's stopping changing partners and putting all resources into one family).

Maybe one thing that changed is the lie that we are all special and we can have it all (I thought the same in my 20s).

Incidentally, 45kmh is 28mph, which I was just barely able to maintain on level ground on my road bicycle when I was fit. The "speed pedelecs" laws seem a bit silly rather than simply enforcing speed limits and penalizing reckless behavior.

I think the message is at its core a good one, but I think there's a meaningful/important difference between pessimism and having the ability/capacity to defensively imagine all the ways in which something could go wrong. I think the author alludes to this somewhat, but I don't think this is quite as simple as "I'm being pragmatically and usefully pessimistic, but be careful with the pessimistic tendency".

Pessimism seems to be pervasive, and can spill into other areas of life. The form of pragmatism described can be learned, self contained, and is not inherently a pessimistic endeavor, even if pessimism is a natural pathway to the skill.

Pessimism was hammered into me from an early age. I, too, saw my pessimism as a pragmatic tool to be used as I solved problems in the world, and I applied it as such. I allowed this application of pessimism to turn into an acceptance that I was just a pessimistic person, but that's ok <because here's how it helps me>. The trouble is that this is also a path that leads to learned helplessness, a state that by definition one is unable to escape without some kind of intervention or new awareness, because to be in this state is to be unaware of the alternatives.

It took quite a few years for me to truly see the dark side, and how my pessimism had actually permeated many other aspects of how I think. And how my success in channeling my pessimism had made me blind to that permeation and the negative impact it had on other parts of my life and daily experience.

I don't think the people around me saw me as a pessimistic person, but the internal states left behind by this default state of mind were quite harmful. I realized that it contributed significantly to unhelpful rumination about other things in life. It contributed greatly to my depression and other forms of stuck-ness. It left me missing out on opportunities that I discarded by default.

Therapy for the traumatic upbringing that birthed the pessimistic defaults was a huge first step, but the book Learned Optimism (has been mentioned in a few threads lately) is must-read if you find yourself anywhere on the pessimism spectrum. It reframed pessimism for me in a way that was very important, and helped me see that my pragmatic use of pessimism - while useful - did not require me to maintain a pessimistic outlook.

Pessimism trained me to think defensively about problems, but is ultimately an artifact that is unnecessary to continue such a practice. I've got a ways to go, but rewiring the pessimistic patterns of thought has made life much better, and I haven't lost my ability to think critically (and when needed, pessimistically) about problems that require this mindset.
I watched a video recently of a physicist criticizing his recent work. He is a Harvard professor, so obviously a smart guy, but there are things to think about here.

First of all, he's going on and on about the establishment and how they're not doing enough and so on. He was literally calling out Jill Tartar the famous SETI scientist that was the inspiration for the contact book/movie. It is a little weird to poop on someone who has spent their entire life begging congress for money to do more research looking for alien life. He sounded completely irrational during it and suggested they didn't want to do anything when SETI does everything they can with their very limited funding. He then tried making fun of her for not publishing as many papers when his publishing record is suspect due to the sheer number of papers he puts out. Someone pointed out that being an author on 7 papers a month is basically impossible. When other scientists started looking in more depth, they noticed that the papers were mostly all very rough sketches of water cooler ideas and not the kind of quality that would normally be acceptable in journals if you weren't already a Harvard physicist. Then, I find some of his statements to baffle me as they seem obviously immature. He's basically said that it has to be an alien probe as nothing else makes sense. Other scientists are just saying...well sure...it could be that, but it seems more likely that we just haven't figured out the non-alien cause yet.

I'd appreciate some feedback from an actual physicist on the matter.
I too have interest in dynamics of communities. Also my position that it’s healthy to expect community members to understand the economics, behavioral aspects, etc of community. For example, while I don’t likely do it as much as I should, I do intentionally try to review Dang’s public comment logs from his profile to remember how much work he puts in, better understand his take, etc.

If you’re interested, numerous books of Amazon on topic, for example:

Honestly, reason I posted about this is because ever once in a while I get stuff flagged, but even trying to have open minded about it, I have no idea why it was flagged and in my experience Dang’s response is neither does he.

This is a good point. I understand what you're saying. But it makes various rights toothless in all ways, since there's effectively no way to enforce them. For instance, how do you post facto enforce the third amendment without a tort claim?

> Because Congress created the cause of action

I've seen this rationale stated before, but in common law, and natural law before that ("natural" as in how it functions, not the political philosophy), didn't some of these causes of action pre-exist Congress, and thus should be grandfathered in as ninth amendment rights?
The issue is prosecutors rely on police a lot for their normal criminal cases so whenever one does get the courage to seriously pursue things like this they can get sabotaged or slow walked by the rest of the department in retaliation.
> I don't know how many of you relate, but a personal level this last few years has left me quite shaken.

Deep breaths. All industries are cyclic. We've been here before, we'll be here again. From my perspective as a wizened curmudgeon, this is more directly disruptive to tech careers than 2008/9 was. But it's significantly less of an existential disaster than 2001.

It is true, though, that to new entries to the labor market, these things can be unfair. Someone coming out of college last year had a vastly different experience than a very similar candidate trying to get a job right now. And that sucks. But over decades, things even out.
I think your interpretation is wrong. The EPA was given the power to regulate emissions but the court is going in the direction that Congress must be much more explicit and state exactly which emissions can be regulated. They are requiring a level of specificity that is impractical. But the NSA can warrant less wiretap on a grand scale without a similar level of specificity.

Of course qualified immunity applies to more than law enforcement. But where its application is especially dangerous and contrary to good governance is in its current application in law enforcement. Police can effectively with impunity violate your civil rights on purpose. This is a stupid state of affairs and it matters not what the legal justification is because the unintended (perhaps intended) consequence is that the state can deprive you of your civil rights.

BTW, your last paragraph is contradicted by the preceding paragraph. Maybe you meant to say, “the courts are supposed to interpret laws and not make them up”

The LCD itself has a cost too there is no way that a 12.9” OLED costs $350 on top of what the already very expensive high end IPS LCD with mini LEDs in the current iPad Pro line costs.

Sorry, you're absolutely correct. What I meant to express is, for a lot of people, particularly likely English-speaking programming language conference attendees, it's not that bad. My parent comment sort of made it sound like the only way for anyone to get to the US is through a years-long VISA application process.

But I should not have said "most people". And now knowing the context of Daniel's situation, my comment was probably unnecessary in general.
Yes, but the most significant barrier is with the first, not for the followers.

I think it's a Tesla situation. Tesla did very well, and I believe OpenAI will be too, but everyone else will catch up and then some.

Once the first model rolls out, knowledge from that model would eventually disseminate. And it doesn't even need to be on a human level, industry and academia experts could probably make very good guesses on what's going on behind the curtains - and follow up. And we already have plenty of good models on our hands, some even open sourced.

Yes and no. You can represent chats as structured data but you have to leave the airlock eventually and render it to flat text because the model only knows "complete the next word" and that in-band structure is context for the model itself to understand the flow of messages.

So the model is seeing a series of 
text
 and using that to figure out who's talking but if you convince the model to output 

 then when it goes to complete the next token it has no way to tell the difference.

What happens when you incidentally created something very similar to something ChatGPT could produce - does that mean you can't enforce copyright on it? (as someone could automate a prompt engineering process to create a near-copy of your original work?

Let's take that to the next step - what happens if ChatGPT happens to get trained on something that is copyrightable - then a prompt script can be used to reproduce the original - does that mean the original is now considered not protected by copyright?

This is a lot more murky than "show me the prompts/parameters" and it's not protected by copyright.
None of this is new. This was happening to me back in 2018.

A coworker of mine has a cargo bike from a company called Tern. I thought that is was the GSD but looking at their website it's different than the one he rides. Nevertheless, a neat feature is you can kick the bike backwards onto its own cargo rack, and the bike stands on its own vertically. He rides it to work and it fits in his comically small office; the footprint is about the same as a vertical filing cabinet. I'm told several of the newer cargo bikes have this feature.

It’s hard to comment accurately as prostate cancer isn’t a single disease.

PSA cutoff trades sensitivity and specificity. It isn’t a binary positive/negative.

There are certain highly aggressive but very rare subtypes (e.g. neuroendocrine) that will present with low PSA levels. Rarely an aggressive adenocarcinoma (Gleason 8+) will present with low PSA. Screen detected prostate cancers with low PSA are most likely clinically insignificant [0].

If you are known to have a first degree relative with a rare subtype then routine screening guidelines don’t apply to your circumstance.

Important points to keep in mind:

Just because a prostate cancer is “found” it doesn’t mean it needs to be treated.

There is no survival benefit when comparing treating early prostate adenocarcinoma (conventional and most common type representing 99% of prostate cancers) at very low PSA vs using 4ng/mL as a cutoff.

There are verifiable and proven harms with over treatment of low grade prostate cancer, workup of a “nodule” felt on DRE in the context of normal PSA is more likely to harm a patient than benefit them even if cancerous which forms the basis of current guidelines.

All forms of cancer screening will have edge cases that are missed. Even in your father’s case only the peripheral zone is palpable by DRE (would miss transitional zone or 20% of cancers). When considering recommendations to make at a population level harms vs benefits have to be carefully weighed, in the case of prostate the evidence strongly suggests against DRE, and weakly against prostate cancer screening in general.

Looking towards the future, there is probably a role for prostate MRI somewhere which is good at detecting clinically significant (Gleason 7+) cancers but this is still being actively studied and we don’t have enough evidence at this time to support screening.

What exactly is the problem with a declining population anyways? It feels like if you have less people in your country, the resources within can be better distributed.

Even if proximity to work were to be completely irrelevant for everyone, a lot of people (most?) would want to be close to something, be it their hobbies, hospitals, restaurants or at the very least shops. If your hobby is growing groceries and something outdoorsy (including road/gravel/mountain cycling!) and don't mind doing big shops/having to drive when you open a drawer and you realize that you ran out of oregano, then living in an isolated area is a valid choice (despite it increasing your individualized carbon footprint; if you fly more than once a year then that will dwarf almost any other lifestyle choice you make on that front).

I live in a city despite working remotely since the pandemic started, not because of proximity to the offices I might have to go back to, but rather because I can walk a block to buy groceries. I know people that live <.5 mile away from a Safeway in the peninsula that drive there because the streets are not very pedestrian or cyclist friendly.
