I haven't tried this myself yet. But I'm surprised you didn't find it beneficial to pass the raw HTML to the chatbot (potentially after some filtering). Did `innerText` give better results than `innerHTML`?

My intuition is that the structure information in the HTML would be useful to extract structured data.
That still leads to losses on long term treasuries. That's what it means to raise rates.

I would assume that as long as the returns are greater than the interest rates, institutional investors are less sensitive than individuals to interest rate hikes.
Hello, would you mind sharing details on the treatment?

I’m really struggling at the moment with this and have moments of utter desperation.

For example an old woman moved in next door who shouts when she talks in a language other then English (Mandarin) - literally all day from morning to night. The constant background noise drove me into depression - it felt like there was no escape. I work from home.

I knew things were getting serious when despite wearing ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones over them when trying to sleep, I could still hear her talking - which was impossible. I was hearing voices in my head.

Things have improved as after repeated attempts to communicate to her through translated messages (she doesn’t speak English at all), she keeps the windows shut on the side of the house that matches mine.

Now I no longer hear “her voice in my head” and the induced depression had lifted.

But the sensitivity to sounds remains and I enter fight or flight response constantly at home.

I suspect getting permanent tinnitus from a Covid infection was a compounding factor in the heightened sensitivity.

Any advice on how to get a grip on this situation would help.

I was also diagnosed with ADHD recently.
Not OP, but I’ll tell you how my wife and I were able to take a year long sabbatical. I had some stock options for the company I worked for, which had gone public during my employment, and buying and selling it all provided enough to live very comfortably off of for about a year for the two of us.
Sorry that must be a bug. Looking into it!
In my current company we don't estimate, and that's the best perk I've had, ever.

It removes so much pressure and anxiety and negative feelings.

Yes, absolutely and of course. It’s not even close. It’s basically 1 cable to install.

And you can use the same hardware for all models and all trims.

By “maintain” I mean “adapt to new models and features”. But it’s likely often cheaper to repair as well since labor is the majority of the cost.
I'm more worried about Pakistan collapsing into chaos and some nutjob getting his hands on some advanced military technology.

Pakistan collapsing has always been a meme but I've never seen things be this bad in all those years. For the first time in my living memory, the Pakistani Army is losing legitimacy. As corrupt as it might be, as an Indian, you could at least go to sleep knowing that there was some order and hierarchy on the other side.

But if the army goes, then I don't know what chaos fills that vaccum.

Usually they force dual citizens to renounce their other citizenships. I had a coworker who was sidelined for over a year waiting for the paperwork to go through before he could proceed with the SF86. Presumably VIPs get special treatment on that too.
> BVR engangements are happeneniing when the shooting side discovers the targeted side first.

Well, yes, also, most within-visual-range engagements probably also happen that way. Targeting the enemy first is kind of a big deal in air-to-air combat, and he who does it is probably going to be by virtue of doing so the shooting side.

> Not to forget, a F-22 or F-35 carrying serious load outs, tanks l, missiles, bombs, is pretty mich non-stealthy any way.

While both can carry external stores, the reason that they have internal weapons bays with significant capacity is specifically so that they can conduct combat operations while maintaining stealth. The tactical environment will determine how they are configured for any given mission.
"Punk as fuck" is a good way to describe it, given the punk aesthetic and ethos have both been thoroughly absorbed and internalized by capitalism to become just another pay-to-play subculture controlled by the most powerful.
Liberty Mutual Liability Release Agreement
I was in an car accident while stopped at a light a couple of years ago. The at-fault driver had Liberty Mutual insurance coverage for the minimum in KY - $25K for bodily injury. The ER bill was over $22K and Liberty quickly offered the full $25K limit of their BI coverage. I was also opening an underinsured motorist claim with my insurance company. Liberty sent their Release agreement and tried several times to get me to sign it. At one point my insurance company sent a note that is was "okay with them to sign Liberty's agreement". I told both of them I wasn't signing any release until I settled with both companies. My plan was to handle it myself if I could, but if I needed to hire a law firm, I didn't want to have released either company.

Now, 21 months later (I had to have surgery for a smashed nose), I have agreed on a settlement with my insurance company, so read through the Liberty Release to sign it. But the first paragraph is worded like this:

The Claimant, (name), for the sole consideration of the sum of $25,000.00, hereby releases and forever discharges (name of at-fault driver) (hereinafter the "Released Party") and the Released Party's insurers, (Liberty Mutual Personal Insurance Company) (hereinafter called the "Company"), their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, agents, servants, employees and assigns, and all other persons, firms or corporations liable or who might be claimed to be liable, from any and all claims for loss, damages, costs, contribution, indemnification, or any other thing whatsoever on account of, or in any way growing out of, all personal injuries, death, property damage and any other type of damage of any kind, whether now known or unknown, arising out of an accident or occurrence on (date, time) at (location).

It sounds to me like that that middle clause of "and all other persons, firms or corporations liable or who might be claimed to be liable" would have also released my insurance company if I had signed the Liberty Release early.

Any opinions on that?

Domestic dumping may be prohibited as predatory pricing under anti-trust, depending on the circumstances, including the pricer needing to have market power.
https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui... notes that there are dumping restrictions, but that courts rarely find firms in violation.

Asking ChatGPT "What is the case law around single-firm predatory pricing?" provides a number of examples, including the tests used by various Western court systems. (Though do note that ChatGPT is not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice!)
I don’t think so but maybe. I recall watching a video once where Bezos states (accurately I would say) that in most companies any idea requires multiple people to say “yes” while startups only need one (the vc firm). His thesis is, this is why companies fail to innovate.

It is pretty obvious in some ways. Once a company has reached a certain level, there will be many status quo forces that emerge because hey, things are “good enough” for some.
"extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"
> We use language to describe symbols, not even very precisely, and we can convert imprecise language to more precise symbols in our brain, manipulate them as symbols, and only then turn them back into language.

I don't think that's true for all people. I know that some people manipulate words in their heads, others images, I manipulate sounds and images. Language is just a noisy medium through which we communicate the internal state of our brain or its outputs to other people / humans and ourselves.

> can learn to do math that ChatGTP never could without an API.

GPT4 does just fine in some cases and extrapolates just fine in others, e.g. ask it whether there are more wheels or doors, and try to investigate the definitions of either and see how well it adds the numbers.

> When Newton invented calculus he wasn’t predictively generating words by token;

There are very few people in history up to Newton so I don't think it's fair to hold up what is essentially a new field up to him.

> he performed logical manipulation of symbols in his brain first.

We don't know "how" he did that. We don't know that his brain manipulated symbols everything he did. We simply know that Calculus can be derived from a set of axioms following logical inference.

What you are expressing is largely true for many primates, and according to some, our brains are "just linearly scaled primate brains".

> That’s why LLMs can’t tell you where they got a specific piece of their own output from, while a human can.

I don't think that is correct. The human might provide a justification for something but that doesn't mean it is the true reason they reached a conclusion. The only way this happens is if you apply logical operators, at which point we are doing math again.

It turns out that our brains have decided long before we are even aware of the decision, such decisions may be guided by external stimulation, or even by internal stimulation since our neural networks don't have well defined components and boundaries thus neighbouring neurons can affect or even trigger circuits, and our own forward predictive models back propagate information to other circuits.

> If fundamentally human thinking was just “LLM” we would have never generated the words to train ourselves on in the first place!

I don't think that's true. Language has evolved over thousands of years in many different ways by > 80 bn humans each of whom having 80bn neurons and trillions of synapses.

Yet, we have found that models can learn to communicate with each other and derive their own languages.

Direct transmission through the earth could be as much as a quarter second faster than around the circumference. A hypersonic missile can travel about a half of a kilometer in a quarter second. So, any application where a half kilometer or quarter second head start might make a difference. The only thing I can think of where the stakes are high enough and timing critical enough is nuclear deterrence. But as hypersonic missiles and planes get faster, there could be other advantages.
English isn't my first language. I learned a lot of words simply by inference when reading English texts. I used a lot of them before really I knew what they meant, because I had built my own understanding of the words through pure inference. Often that understanding was close to a words true meaning, other times not.

Clearly some meaning of words has been trained into the coefficients that make up ChatGPT, after all it's producing more eligible texts than several people I know...

While it is remarkable that Elon Musk would implicitly acknowledge that he paid over twice what Twitter was worth, that's only half the story.

There are at least two reasons to cut that value in half again: one reason is that he lost half of the advertisers. Another reason is that the LBO debt has been written down by the creditors to roughly half what they are owed.

He's putting one over on his remaining employees. Yet another way to tell the $20B is a fantasy number is that no CEO candidate would take options based on Musk's idea of a valuation.

As a non-expert in the field I was hesitant last year to disagree with the legions of experts who denounced Blake Lemoine and his claims about Google's AI being alive. I know enough to know, though, of the AI effect <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect>, a longstanding tradition/bad habit of advances being dismissed by those in the field itself as "not real AI". Anyone, expert or not, in 1950, 1960, or even 1970 who was told that before the turn of the century a computer would defeat the world chess champion would conclude that said feat must have come as part of a breakthrough in AGI. Same if told that by 2015 many people would have in their homes, and carry around in their pockets, devices that can respond to spoken queries on a variety of topics.

To put another way, I was hesitant to be as self-assuredly certain about how to define consciousness, intelligence, and sentience—and what it takes for them to emerge—as the experts who denounced Lemoine. The recent GPT breakthroughs have made me more so.

I found this recent Sabine Hossenfelder video interesting. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP5zGh2fui0>

While you're not wrong that stealthy ≠ invisible, a proper mission design will render the aircraft effectively invisible to air defenses.

If you've got an active radar system you'll bounce signals off anything in the sky. Your ability to actually detect those things is based on the strength of the return and sensitivity/signal processing of the system. Big things can be detected hundreds of miles away, small things only tens of miles away. To protect some high value target you string together multiple radar systems to provide overlapping coverage. With enough systems you can have an unbroken wall of radar directing defending aircraft and SAMs.

Stealth lets a big thing (a jet) pretend to be a small thing in the view of an air defense system, essentially cutting the detection range of radar. This means your unbroken radar coverage that would work for an F-15 now has a bunch of holes because each radar can only detect an F-22 twenty miles out instead of two hundred. Your radar is also further compromised because the stand-off range of anti-radiation missiles is outside the range you can detect and intercept the jets carrying them.

Being able to see a stealth aircraft after it's fired a weapon to kill you isn't super helpful. A stealth aircraft can also fly through the artificial holes it made in your radar coverage and blow up the thing you're protecting and you only find out about it after the fact.

With a b-tree you can do even better. Instead of hashing entire files ahead of time, you can avoid hashing more than the minimum prefix required to conclude a file is unique, by building the b-tree lazily. I don't think it can be done with sqlite though, as it requires hashing the files while traversing the b-tree.

> “It’s a glorified word predictor” is becoming increasingly maddening to read.

> Do tell— how can you prove humans are any different?

A recent Reddit post discussed something positive about Texas. The replies? Hundreds, maybe thousands, of comments by Redditors, all with no more content than some sneering variant of "Fix your electrical grid first", referring to the harsh winter storm of two years ago that knocked out power to much of the state. It was something to see.

If we can dismiss GPT as "just autocomplete", I can dismiss all those Redditors in the same way.
I think this argument is not about engineer vs manager. It’s about junior vs senior engineer. As you gain seniority and tech-lead others you take on this responsibility. I agree that junior engineers shouldn’t do estimation, but rather senior engineers should set the expectations.
English is really four languages (Germanic, French, Latin, Old Norse) that have been corrupted and morphed into an insanity of unnecessarily complex structures. The linguistic equivalent of four different cars taken apart and turned into an economy tractor race car used for pizza deliveries. Yes, it can go fast and deliver pizza to a farmer. But I wouldn't wanna learn to drive the bastard.
Something I like to bring up when discussing AI stuff is that society is based on a set of assumptions. Assumptions like, it's not really feasible for every lock to be probed by someone who knows how to pick locks. There just aren't enough people willing to spend the time or energy, so we shouldn't worry too much about it.

But we're entering an era where we can create agents on demand, that can do these otherwise menial (and up til now not worth our time or energy) tasks, that will break these assumptions.

Now it seems like what can be probed will be probed.

in all fairness to crypto, the government did keep moving the goal post on what's legal or not.

ChatGPT is a powerful language model that can help us with a lot of tasks, but with great power comes great responsibility. That being said, what are your unpopular opinions about ChatGPT-4 and the plugins that come with it?

Are there any plugins that you find useless or even harmful?
Do you think the ethics of using ChatGPT are being properly considered?
Are there any alternative language models or plugins that you think are better than ChatGPT?
Do you think ChatGPT is being developed too quickly, and that OpenAI should slow down and consider the consequences of their work?

Yeah, I suppose the latter. Apple was super-cautious (even then) about copyright violation (even though it was clearly outside copyright). I was too big for my britches.

“We have lingered in the chambers of the sea

By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown

(Maybe I should add that Apple was sort of circling the drain about this time. I wondered if it was the last OS we would ship and there was a kind of sadness if that were the case. Somehow the line resonated with me at the time — I felt we were a little like "drowners" (that would probably be more of a Suede reference).)
Certainly you participated in related forums right? Before SO I was much more involved in online communities like https://gamedev.net/ which are also at risk due to this sort of bill.
> you don't need to invest in them to use them as needed

"As needed" is an interesting phrase. I'd argue that what we need from cryptocurrency is for it to move past the current phase where the only consensus it bothers with is account balances.

We need consensus about things that will help us collectively act to keep powerful entities like governments in check. As it stands, they're very good at dividing us against one another.

If you end up making some fiat along the way, that's fine, but the return on an investment in crypto is a world where the powerful are well-behaved because they're scared that the rest of us will turn our backs on the abstractions that give them power.

As it stands, that's not a credible threat, so it's reasonable to make investments that'll take things in the direction (which is, sadly, not the effect of most crypto investing).
