It's the gold standard of text labeling to use grad students to label data as a gold standard, and it really depends on the difficulty of the task whether this makes sense. For example, if your labeling task is to, say, transcribe a bunch of recordings of spoken English in American English, maybe a grad student is a nice short-hand for "native American English speaker who is reasonably literate" which is a good baseline, compared to MTurk where many English speakers come from countries which speak English with different accents and idioms, maybe as a second language as well, and so I would expect them to have a harder time, and their computer setup is likely worse, and their pay isn't as high, etc.

It seems to me that, A, at least for some tasks, grad-students-as-gold-standard is not wacky, and B, grad students won't necessarily have the same output as MTurk workers. Given these two points, it's perfectly reasonable to ask how consistent-with-grad-students MTurk workers are, seeing as the reason people use MTurk in similar scenarios is as a cheaper alternative to grad students.

Re: inter-coder agreement, I think that the low inter-coder agreement for MTurk is in itself potentially a surprising aspect. Perhaps the explanations that worked well for grad students (and ChatGPT) didn't explain the task properly to MTurks. That's pretty much a point in favor of ChatGPT, though maybe it can be viewed as a point against the actual tasks they use (ie if the explanation couldn't get people of a likely more dissimilar background to output the same results as grad students then maybe the task is less objective than deemed by the task's authors).

Side-notes:
- I looked for the 0.17% number in the paper, and what the paper actually says is that the Pearson correlation coefficient between inter-coder agreement and classification accuracy is 0.17 (=positive but weak). This isn't a number comparing the correlation between different coders. (Frankly, I think comparing ChatGPT's self-consistency to consistency between different people is unenlightening)
- Section 4 sub-section "Crowd-Workers Annotation" says that each tweet was classified by two different workers, and no single worker classified more than 20% of the dataset.

It's been a while since I heard that term. They are everywhere in Danish government IT (through KMD).

InfoSys (the I in WITCH) invested in OpenAI back in 2015. How much is their investment worth now? If it is in the billions they should probably take the OpenAI hype and pivot to something else than being a cheap outsourcing company.

That carbon in cow farts & burps was grass yesterday, which was atmospheric CO2 last week. Cows are not fed petroleum products, though some petroleum may be used in the production of industrial feed (but not or much less for pasture feeding).

Atmospheric CH4 does not "do harm" as such, it's indeed a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming in proportion to its prevalence. Said prevalence, as I'm trying to point out, is proportional to the number of heads of cattle. As such, if we don't increase the number of heads significantly, the impact will be constant.

Contrast with fossil fuels for, say, transportation: their impact on greenhouse effect is constantly increasing at a rate proportional to the number of cars/planes/trips.

Or put another way: we have to stop using ICE cars and planes altogether to stop increasing greenhouse effect; we only have to keep eating the same amount of beef and cheese to stop their impact.
What is the reason we’re given for banning TikTok? Is it just “China scares us”? Because that’s what it looks like. And that feels like it’s against western ideals. Maybe it’s “tit off tat” setting similar boundaries as what Western companies have to follow in China. That makes sense but I’ve not heard it packed that way. Also our own social media companies are mostly unpopular right now.

Wow, I didn't realize how many congressional bills are just pointless resolutions with zero legislative impact. Is this list of bills curated in any way? Where are you sourcing it from? A quick scan of https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/bills/ seems to turn up bills with a lot more substance.

Edit: Upon further investigation it seems like a lot of those are not technically bills, but rather House or Senate resolutions. Explained here: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/common/briefing/leg_laws_... The govinfo.gov list seems to indicate that such resolutions are pretty common, but significantly less so than bills, so I'm not sure why the front page seems to consist only of resolutions right now.

I would love to see something like this for jazz, which has musicians constantly moving through groups and albums as musicians and composers and writers.

Like take "Take Five", one of my favorites. It was written by Paul Desmond for the Dave Brubeck Quartet, with solos by Desmond on alto sax and Joe Morello on drums. Those are all fun pieces of information that I wish I could click through to see more of.

Just like classical music, it's not impossible to represent this with a generic interface, but it would benefit by something more geared to how jazz fans like to browse.

I am a student with not a lot of money and I really love classical music. I don't have to pay for Spotify due to Spotify family. Also, I really don't like the cliché that classical music is mostly for the well-earning élite. Classical music is just great music. Totally agree with you. Like the idea of a seperate app; when I am streaming my favorite music on Spotify, it's sometimes weird to listen to some piece of contemporary music and then a classical piece.

I love the attitude of this guy. From the "Background" section:

> "This project started from two points: as part of my PhD, I had to become very familiar with working with NOAA forecast results. Separately, an old tablet set up as a "Magic Mirror,” and was using a weather module that relied on the Dark Sky API, as well as my Home Assistant setup. So when I heard that it was shutting down, I thought, "I wonder if I could do this.” Plus, I love learning new things, and I had been looking for a project to learn Python on, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity! Spoiler alert, but it was way more difficult than I thought, but learned a lot throughout the process, and I think the end result turned out really well!"

> What's selfish about not having children? To whom or to what do I owe bringing a child into the world?

Since life can just be given to the next generation and you have already gotten yours, it would be logical to return the favor to the next person and give a new life.

I did not say, that it actually is selfish. Maybe it is not. It just came off a bit like that to me, as I read your comments.

> It's more likely the opposite: a lot of people would agree that their parents' decision to have children, particularly at a time when they couldn't afford them or lacked the mental strength to care for them and raise them in psychological safety, was selfish.

Sure. Although most people would surely still choose to live.

> The PDF renderer in their PDF viewer is from 2016 and has dozens of long-known security issues.

I don't care, I uninstalled it and installed another one.

Good to know, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't the case a few years ago when I considered GrapheneOS (see "Sandboxed Google Play is close to being fully functional"). But that seems great indeed!

> You're shifting goal posts, the devices they're selling are end-of-life by manufacturer

Mine is not end-of-life at all.

Some are, but that's a feature: it's great to be able to not change phone every 2 years because the manufacturer just wants to sell more.

> or are years behind _available_ firmware/blob updates.

Mine is not at all.

Some have less support, I suppose. If it matters to you, you can probably contribute.

> they went _eleven_ months without updating the browser and system webview

I think it's mitigated by the fact that you can install your favourite browser, so only the webview is an issue. But yes, that's a problem. Doesn't make the whole project crap: they are successfully making a nice-to-use de-Googled phone. That's a step in the right direction. That does not make them perfect.

My complaint about your behavior is that IMHO, you sound like you are trying very hard to tell people that the whole project is crap. I'm sure you have a ton of interesting and constructive criticisms you could share. But when I read "DivestOS", my thought is not "oh, that interesting Android fork?" but rather "oh, that's the guy who goes on other people's forums to tell them that their project is crap".

Mate. You aren’t special. It’s the nature of the profession that most of us are in, that we end up dealing with the “sensitive” data that you’re describing, barring most people working in Big Companies with proper internal controls.

Nothing you’ve said negates anything OP said. It’s simply an elaboration wrapped in elitism.
Lots of people find email "useful or even desirable". Same with SMS, phone calls, mail/letters.

All have been abused by "marketing" to the point where they almost became or become useless. In some cases, workarounds were found so we can continue living our lives without spammers.

I suppose it's inevitable that push notifications are no different. But the argument is still unconvincing.
It is highly unlikely, but not impossible. Anecdotally, I did see a case of a business that put a real location of the business they are working with, which happened to be in a sanctioned country. Needless to say, it generated all sorts of questions and eventual OFAC contact.

Bottom line is: it happens, but I agree with you that people that know what they are doing are not putting "Pay for assasination by Osama Bin Laden on 03/28/23" in reference field.
Again, you have to look in the purchased tab of the App Store. This allows you to continue to download apps you downloaded in the past that are no longer available as a new purchase.
If it’s illegal then it’ll just be done the same way as making an illegal purchase is now, probably by asking around until you find someone that “knows a guy”. Either that or you’d just steal one.
> Is there any info on how many of them were school shootings? how many of them were gang violence related death?

If by school shootings you mean the type of random killings that make the news, then that data is published as a part of the FBI active shooter datasets every year (lagging by a few years now).

Here's a 20 year summary

If by school shooting you include shootings by rival gangs, then the numbers go way, way, way up.

Most of the successful deployments I've seen involved a lot of programmers regardless; either to advise the domain experts, or to customize the solution to the specific needs of the organization, be it with custom components, or interfaces to other systems. There's a lot of untapped demand for software solutions that'll keep programmers busy as total project costs fall due to increased automation.

If there is one single thing I would absolutely give to crypto (in its essential form, not through centralized, heavily regulated intermediaries like Coinbase) it's that something like the above and the many stories in this comment thread can be circumvented if one is relatively careful about managing transfers, keys and basic use.

Excepting truly major state-level interventions, almost nobody can stop you from collecting a payment from a third party or sending it to them, or keeping your payments collected secure from some bullshit arbitrary KYC corporate freeze. It works internationally, it works 24/7 and funds received are funds that are yours.

Sure, the space as a whole is loaded with scammers, collapsed exchanges and etc, and its more technically difficult than using things like Paypal, but the essence I describe above is wonderful and should exist on a much broader scale as a basic right for people wishing to move funds and hold them. How you later convert them to fiat cash for daily spending is a separate debate.

I can already image many people here in their bubbles of privilege decrying much of the above, or companies and governments not being able to randomly freeze funds and block their flow for individuals, but I invite you to deal with a corporate freeze of YOUR money, or simply live in a place where state-level corruption is endemic, frequent and hard to escape by any conventional means.

Finally, Paypal truly is a hideous dumpster fire and deserves a slow, strangling corporate death. I look forward to a day in which that happens.
And ML can help recognise users who feel that way and "get off their lawn" faster. It's absolutely a tooling problem.
Wildly different meta data and needs for search. With classical music, it's a standard use case to search music composed by X. For most other genres, no one ever searches for a composer. On the other hand, there will hundreds of performances of the same piece, and listeners will want to scroll though them, instead of just seeing the 1-3 most famous renditions of a song. Or you want songs from a specific conductor or with a specific solist. All of this makes classical music very distinct, while search pattern for most other genres are kind of similar.

> No. Spam is by definition unsolicited email (often commercial in nature) from someone you never have had any sort of (business) relationship with.

The name "spam" comes from an old Monty Python skit about hearing the same thing over and over and getting sick of it, so this definition doesn't really respect the history of the term. The name spam started as a Usenet moniker some time after some lawyers started trying to get people to pay to enter the free green card lottery run by the US government.

This definition almost sounds like you're gesturing at "UCE" (unsolicited commercial email) which some people started trying to push as a definition for spam back in the day.

> Yes, it is super annoying that they automatically sign up your address for marketing, but there is a way to unsubscribe.

I mean, you're responding in a thread where they mentioned that's impossible to reach that page because they're banned and ignoring that people long ago found that unsubscribe was being abused to confirm (and then sell) verified emails to other spammers.

Some of us do crazy things to let us use unique emails per service, so we can find out who is selling our info.
I store way more than 5M files on consumer storage devices all the time. It truly isn't a ridiculous number, with 2TB it's not even hard to hit with a mix of text files and smaller media files.
