It seems they are trying to avoid ChatGPT doing to their union members what machine translation has already done to professional (human) translators. As far as I understand it, it's common practice for translation companies to automatically generate "alignments" (a sort of pre-translation of sentences between text in two languages) and then ask the translator to make a full translation based on the alignments- and only pay them for the time the company decides is needed for that task, which is of course less than the time to do a full translation from scratch.

Which sucks badly because the automatically generated pre-translations are often prtty bad and the translator must, in practice, do the full work anyway, and only get paid for less than that.

My source is a bunch of friends and acquaintances who are professional translators; somehow I happen to know at least three distinct groups of them. Also, they're all Greek so the situation may be different for translators between language pairs where automatic translation works better than, e.g. English and Greek.
Sure! I’ll be glad to try :)
But it explicitly shows that it's using Minio when the application is actually used?

Sure, it's totally uncool to not mention Minio on their site and that's a massive shame but, as far as I'm aware, nothing in the license would require Weka to explicitly mention they're using Minio in their advertising/marketing like the provided link?
Private does not mean for-profit. Funding and performance are two different things. Road construction is funded by government, but performed by private companies.

I found this video insightful on the matter from Computerphile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PKx3kS7f4A

Where they argue that basically having an AI follow these laws is impossible because it would require rigorous definition of terms that are universally ambiguous and solving ethics.
To me, Objective-C 1.0 was the perfect size (before Apple added properties and stuff in 2007). As long as you avoided the weirdest undefined corners of C, it felt like you could understand every construct available and its performance implications without needing to read the docs or ask Google.

Maybe it’s just the rose-colored memories of a first love.
If we believe in ourselves, our confidence increases, which increases our performance.

The same way, if we don't, then we won't reach our full potential.
This is why the concept of depression is so frightening, because once you stop believing in yourself, your performance goes down, which stars a vicious cycle that makes you think of yourself negatively.
I am on my second round of 5 days with no electricity and no heat in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is 50 degrees inside and trying to function is futile. Wood-burning stoves are banned, I am in an all-electric structure - no hot water, no way to cook unless I use a camp stove inside (horrible for health), no heat - we bought toe warmers for the 82 year-old I live with.

This makes no sense, if the grid can’t handle it, then it should not have been legislated this way. At the very least, an allowance for back-up systems during emergencies should be in place.
My dad always told me the reason I was so fascinated with space was because I had so much of it between my ears. Gee thanks dad!
Things I’ve Learned from Charlie Munger about Moats (2015)
This is similar advice to one of the Atomic Habits chapters about identity. You might find it a chore to go the gym if you frame it to yourself that way. But if you call yourself an athlete, or just "i'm a fit person" and that becomes part of your identity, it's easier to do. Works for me so far.
I guess I wouldn't go offroading in an $85,000 car if the service center is hundreds of miles away and I wasn't ready to pay the towing fee?
> calling ourselves with the new title very early in the process

AKA lying. I have total respect for someone who wants to improve their life, but you dont need to lie, just be honest with yourself and others. the author even admits to it:

> We become a runner when we start running a few days a week. An amateur one, a beginner in the world of runners, but a runner nonetheless.

so you are not a "runner". you are an "amateur runner". and thats totally fine! I personally am an amateur runner. I dont go around telling people I am a runner, because at the end of the day, all I would be doing is lying to others, and lying to myself. Its OK not to be perfect at something from the beginning. just stick to it and try hard. when you really feel you've stepped up to that next level, then sure, go ahead and remove the "amateur".
I love this! You should be able to do both of these today - we let you save custom prompt templates.
How? For example, how do chromosomes lead to wearing skirts or pants?

And to your point, the things an XX chromosome does lead to can be changed, with hormones, etc.
Been using Reflect since last year, definitely has one of the easiest interfaces to use.

Yet, no factual errors, and the entire product category literally benefits no one except shareholders, certainly of no medical or dietary benefit LOL.
For years I’ve been pouring through all the apps/platforms like this, but after being burned too many times I am (incredibly) reluctant to tie my second brain to a box that will lock itself unless I pay. Even if it’s just an interface, it’s too disruptive when my whole workflow is upended by a service getting bought/shutting down/“upgrading” to break old features/increases fees.

I see a “free trial”. That plus the landing page not mentioning open source, a permanent license, or common/interchangeable formats bounced me immediately, despite what I’m sure are some great capabilities that folks put a lot of time and work into. Maybe I’m missing something? Is that kind of app not sustainable so we don’t see them, or do I just not know where to look?
> As for your analogy, I'm not sure we know enough about human intelligence core mechanisms to be able to dismiss NN as being fundamentally incapable of it.

If there's one field of expertise I trust programmers to not have a clue about it's how human intelligence works.

Because they are the ones that stand up and win because kids are dumb and selfish. I've thought about running, but then I think about it and 'Nope' on out of that thought...
That’s a reasonable perspective, but my point was that it allows someone to sprint off a cliff that they otherwise might slow down for, and all of this was in a comment thread that started with someone critiquing people in $80k trucks getting handouts.

Those are people who sprinted off the cliff.
That’s true for me too. Starting from scratch has the same blank page effect that writing does. Letting gpt write something to get started with even if you wind up changing all of it really helps get over that initial hump.
Full of sugar, just before bedtime...that's all you need to get diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. What an amazing snack!
People are obese because they eat too much. You can eat nothing but sugar and stay very thin just fine.
Well, it's true. Some banks are in bad shape and it seems everyone knows which ones they are. That money is just being transferred to other banks. The system in genral isn't in trouble.
There's a computer in the corner from 2012. It has 64 GB of RAM and a 3.2 GHz 6-core CPU. It'll outperform many modern machines.

Most of what you're attributing to "chip aging" is software bloat and assumptions of e.g. hardware acceleration for GUI animations.

(The rest is mostly increased thermal throttling because the cooling systems generally do get worse over time. But not by that much.)
Lived in a house for a decade with only wood heat, as do lots of folks, this just isn’t accurate.
The pigs we breed stem from basically a single species that already had the properties of very fast reproduction and very flexible diet. They were already like that, which is why we breed them. Other species have been tried without success.

During the middle ages, our domesticated pigs were basically feral pigs that lived on farms and in towns, even in cities, as a bio garbage disposal. There are a lot of fun facts you can dig up there.

The these pigs in America are imported, yes but they became wild again very fast and are basically the same species as before domestication.
SBCL is available to install on MacOS with brew, with apt or yum on Linux, etc. You can make small standalone applications easily. I have used it for command line utilities (I have some simple examples in my CL book that you can read online https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp/read)

The linked CL reference looks very nice, BTW.
Offshoring/outsourcing is decades old yet it didn’t kill office work pre covid. Good staff, when required, requires effort to hire. If you don’t need it, why do it?
I'd be more interested in the ability to implement such in a way that respects privacy and customizing per folder/note/line. A difficult task given how many are just relying on OpenAI as-is.
"a dossier by intelligence agencies said."

I don't know how trustworthy a dossier of an government agency is.
‘We’ve lost the aqueduct’: How severe flooding threatens a LA water lifeline
Thanks for conceding I was correct.
That's not a great comparison, as privacy-focused search engines do exist (Kagi, DDG to an extent, et al.). And you can still use mainstream search engines with frontends like SearX. Most of my privacy concerns are with adtech corporations tying my search terms to my profile, that they later sell to advertisers, and whoever else on shady data broker markets. I don't want to be complicit with my data being exploited to later manipulate me, nor do I want to make them money in exchange of a "free" service.

These are partly the same reasons I don't voluntarily use proprietary services at all. I don't want to train someone else's model, nor help them build a profile on me. Even if they're not involved in adtech—a rarity nowadays—you have no guarantees of how this data will be used in the future.

For AI tools, there's currently no alternative. Large corporations are building silos around their models, and by using their services you're giving them perpetual access to your inputs. Even if they later comply with data protection laws and allow you to delete your profile, they won't "untrain" their models, so your data is still in there somewhere. Considering that we're currently talking about 32,000 tokens worth of input, and soon people uploading their whole codebases to it, that's an unprecedented amount of data they can learn from, instead of what they can gather from web search terms. No wonder adtech is salivating at opening up the firehose for you to feed them even more data.

The use cases of AI tools are also different, and more personal. While we use search engines for looking things up on the web, and some personal information can be extracted from that, LLMs are used in a conversational way, and often involve much more personal information. It's an entirely different ballpark of privacy concerns.
you see this format makes sense because we usually say "the 20th minute, 30th second of 04 PM" in america
If it's done well, and I believe it can be given the impressively fluent conversations the current ChatGPT incarnation delivers, you wouldn't even notice that you're being manipulated or advertised at... Which makes it very insidious and dangerous IMHO.
Cycles are clearly shown in the chart. They do not have to be consistent in gap as no economic business cycles present that way. Of course, these numbers are aggregate across all housing in 2 countries so the cycles are muted versus local min/max demonstrated in specific metro areas.

Even small swings from 5 to 4 demonstrate a 25% swing in aggregate housing prices, which is still significant. The whipsawing recently since 2000 represent two swings of around 75% in aggregate housing prices relative to incomes.
This may be an interesting example of a “zombie” organization. Fermilab exists to push the boundaries of particle physics.

We stopped wanting to do that, or at the very least outlay the capital to do that. We likewise don’t want people at fermilab doing other things with their time. Meaning that they don’t have much to do but go through the motions.

We have a few of these in science, it would arguably be better in the long run to refocus our science budget on problems we’re interested in solving and some “risk” budget for different ideas.
The original reason for banning sales of wild game meat in NA is because species were being driven extinct or extirpated due to hunting. https://www.grandviewoutdoors.com/big-game-hunting/should-yo...

Unfortunately allowing selling of specific species we don't like that reproduce easily would probably just lead to private land owners promoting habitat and food for that species on their land. That's what's happened in Texas on a lot of private ranches due to the popularity of pig hunting. Texas is mostly private land, unlike Montana which is mostly public but still.
No civil service government employee should openly talk to the media, ever.
No, the thread stems from above where it's basically indicated that free things should be illegal if there's things being sold off the back of it.

The precedent things like this would create could easily be extended to other things. Good lawyers could hold things the OP isn't think about to this standard. Especially if theres a jury uninformed about the topic at hand.
"I have seen the output and it matches what I consider to be conversation"

Well yeah, it's been trained to produce output that would look like conversation.

I agree. GPT4 is impressive when asked to play chess, but the incapacity for understanding makes it really limiting
What is very, very tricky is that the language get bigger the harder is to do composability. And "composability" is far bigger and broader than the normal understanding.

For example, consider Rust that is built around the idiom of composability (aka: Traits).

Is nice, until you get async, custom allocaters + runtimes, const, how do macros, type reflection, code generation, etc...

Each thing is something user want to make code more composable and flexible. But each thing is also a big thing: You can make a WHOLE LANG around just one of that!

---

Lisp, Forth and similar make easy "syntax composability" -not solve all the rest- that is probably the bare minimum. This is the MAJOR "flaw" of algol-like languages.

For example, I wish Rust allow:

struct Person {name:String}
struct User: +Person {pwd:String} //not inheritance: Copy of fields!

let u = User {..}
let p = Person::copy_from(u)
for f in p.iter_fields(): //walk over name:String, pwd:String

With lisp/relational/array like paradigms this stuff is easy. But algol-like languages are too "nominal" and lack the ways to manipulate the construct without resorting to macros, that are for most cases a band-aid.

The main inflation number that everyone talks about compares each month to one year previous.

When inflation changes rapidly, it gives you outdated information.

When you look at the underlying data for each month compared to the previous month, you can see that the spike was higher than 9% and we are currently lower than 6%.

How is it that a domain is an abstract entity, when something like an API is concrete? They are both something that is interacted with in the system? Or is it purely contextual based on the perspective of the person/team preparing the diagram?
To be more specific, the Betamax case is the reason a specific person can store a copy of a TV recording that they made, for timeshifting purposes, because SCOTUS held that that person's use of the recorded TV content, in that circumstance, was fair dealing with respect to the recorded TV content. And that's it.

If you provide a recording service, you had better be as close as you possibly can to that fact matrix. Any hint that it's you, and not your users, who are doing the copying, would attract the wolves.

Also, this focus on who is doing the copying has been looked at enough in different jurisdictions around the world that it's probably not worth the risk testing it. Germany (Save.TV, Shift.TV), Japan (Rokuraku II), Australia (Optus TV Now). Don't quote me on these, this is off the cuff.
I agree, but until we get to that new society and new economic system, people need to consider the creators. IP is often all they have.
Also we are more patterns in the dust given that most of the atoms in our bodies swap for new ones over a couple of years. The patterns may be able to continue separately from the dust.
Yeah I do (use UBO). In my case I was trying to use it for web development eg. run npm/react and yeah it was bad. This was a Rockchip 1.8GHz Processor (C100P)

Other thing is say you visit YouTube and the tiles don't all immediately load in, that's an example of lowering performance (because time moves on, web grows).

My favorite version of this was a single panel cartoon in the college newspaper. It's a guy in the classic railroad worker outfit - peeked cap and striped bib overalls - sitting at desk thinking "Man, I need to read the course descriptions more carefully."

Since a lot of commenters seem confused about this in relation to charitable deductions:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marginaltaxrate.asp

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/11061...

It's the marginal tax rate we're concerned with, not the average. That's what you're deducting against.

Secondly, some people cite the 13% of taxpayers who itemize as the relevant number. The relevant number is the high-income taxpayers who itemize, and even more relevant is that same number but in high-tax states.

It's a legitimate debate whether public broadcasting serves a purpose, or whether it's biased. It's also a legitimate debate whether 501(c)(3) should exist at all. But whether we're subsidizing NPR through private deductions is not a debate. We are.

Likewise lots of 501(c)(3) organizations that are deeply controversial.
>> AI will change this.

Digital/electronic alternatives of Paper based Answer Books
I am looking a complete and matured solution as an alternative of paper based answer books for students who are appearing in the exams of class 10 and 12.

I suppose there is a display device on which question papers will be displayed and a digital answer book which will be used by students by using specific pen. After submit the exam data will be transferred to PDFs which will be sent to the respective examiners by email.

Is there any such thing on the earth?
It seems fairly obvious. I'm not an expert, but:

If a person has longer hair, no facial hair, is wearing a dress, has a higher voice, wider hips, and the appearance of breasts, I'd assume they are a woman.

BUT: if a person with all of those traits says they're a man, I'm going to nod, file it away for future reference, and -- most importantly -- move on with my day.

And likewise, if a person with none of those traits tells me they are a woman, again, I will nod, remember it, and move on.

It's not hard.

“Microsoft employees claim Microsoft product is super awesome”
I think a big part of my personal development is not attaching my identity or self-worth to existing or established hierarchies. That's just status-seeking.

Like, if you studied math or CS, or studied to become a MD... Maybe you're prone to take yourself to seriously because of it. There is and will always be a feedback loop in society because we are all humans and always seeking attachment (in the psychological sense) to other humans.

I have self-worth because I do not try to justify it relative to something I do not control, like a Ivy Leage graduating class, FAANG, or whatever, but instead of accepting myself as I am.

Thoughts?

> they only allow educational content

Douyin is full of trashy/silly content.

It never ceases to amaze me how blatantly false, easily disproven claims about China, such as, "Douyin is all math and science videos" become common wisdom in the US. Nobody bothers to check for themselves. Someone makes something up, and everyone else just runs with it.

The best example of this is the social credit score myth, which somehow refuses to die, despite the fact that it's untrue and completely absurd.
I totally agree. In fact, that's the entire reason we didn't raise venture capital, because that would have forced an 'exit' (which typically means an acquihire/getting shut down). I'm sick of seeing otherwise good businesses ruined because they raised VC without a good reason to.

Our goals are modest, we're just trying to create a sustainable business. We're currently half-way towards profitability, and are on track to be profitable by the end of the year.
