If you told me you could make one room of my house consistently color-balanced with LED lighting that I would have no reason to hate, I would ball up a couple hundred dollar bills and throw them at you.

(Edit: I’m also coming from buying Philips Hue bulbs for precisely this reason, so in fairness, it’s not as big a price jump.)
Yes, another example is clothing. I have no interest in buying high quality clothing that I have to spend time taking care of. I want whatever lasts longest, while still being able to throw in the washer and dryer on default settings without having to separate colors.

Outdoor light is pleasant (to me at least) even when it's overcast. And, yeah, if you live in an area with polar night or whatever I don't think society should begrudge you an incandescent bulb if that's what gets you through the winter.
Have you considered re-mapping the range of the output variable? You can map one-dimensional random variables onto each other by comparing their CDFs. (This works exactly for continuous random variables, but the technique can be approximated with discrete random variables).

Looking how many applications Google gets for job openings in my area, I doubt it.

You must be breathing very rare air where you live if you can scoff off Google as an employer. Where I live people kill for a job there.

Working at Google for a while and then being let go is still way better for your savings, networking, resume, and future career prospects, than not having worked at Google at all.

I've developed a couple of products used "in production" using 13" 10 year old sony vaio! It's definitely doable, but the experience is less than ideal, mostly due to the small screen. I don't think that's something a 15" display would fix though. If I were to do it again, I'd probably look for something around the 24" to 27" range.

Working with CAD on a 13" screen vs. a 15" screen is basically the same experience.
Why learning anything, if we have GPT-4? Why even commenting here, GPT-4 could do that, too ;).
To increase performance, you need bigger foundation models, like LLaMA 65B. You will always be RAM-bound for that (~40GB for LLaMA 65B INT4). So the next step is to upgrade your motherboard to have multiple GPU slots. If you really wanted to stick to a single-GPU setup, you could upgrade to RTX A6000, but it is more expensive than two RTX 3090 while holding the same amount of RAM.
Interesting.

But yea, it seems our digestive systems can adapt to it pretty well, given that we've been doing this since long before doctors were around. I suppose the acid kills all the bacteria in the rotten meat unless you're super weak immune wise.

This is what I'm looking for as well.
This was my hot-take as well. The issue here is that OpenAI has some pretty large backers that know the FTC well. Not sure how this will pan out.
GPT-4 can tell you where you’re wrong, Sinclair ZX80 cannot.
Wouldn't that only apply if that employee was acting as an agent of Google at the time?

Otherwise it would create an interesting dynamic that startups where no-one has created an OpenAI account would have a massive advantage, since they can freely scrape ShareGPT data and train on it while larger companies have enough employees that someone must have signed every TOS.
>Super-AI will also be forced to take it slow if it wants its future self to be aligned with current self.

That's making seemingly unfounded assumptions about both the AI's goals and its capabilities. It's also, I think, proceeding from a false premise — that it's impossible to align AI with "humanity" (which doesn't have a single set of goals/values to align to) doesn't mean it's impossible to align AI with an individual human or AGI.
I'd be surprised if there's enough evidence to determine in either direction, for that.

How many used an AI for medical advice? A medical AI which said "no cancer" when there was? Does Therac-25 count as GOFAI? How many have taken an LLM at face value about some topic, and like those stories about GPS directions gone wrong, done something daft that we've not necessarily yet heard about (or if we have, the headline was "Florida Man does X" rather than "AI tells man to do X, and he does"?)

It's like how we don't know how many people had a crash shortly after failing to notice FSD had switched itself off.

Interesting quote:

Even when it came to fundraising, all the YC’s advice came down not to how to raise smarter and more, but to the fact that everyone needs to follow their simple framework, not try to shine too much, not try to choose the right words, wash off all the makeup, put on a gray uniform, and present dry facts—how much money customers already paid you, what the size of the market, if you count all the units you can sell, what you have actually built and what is working today. And this will always sound bad for anyone, it just can't sound good in the early days. And what actually works is storytelling, confident vision, committed revenue, and all these subtle things. It looks as if they are trying to make the selection process among 400 companies easier for the investors, and cover their own reputational risks, instead of trying to wrap each company in a beautiful wrapper and help it to raise easier.

Just for ref, I did SUS and applied to YC three times unsuccessfully.
I'm not sure why you're being so argumentative. You and I are largely saying the same thing. I don't think it would be unreasonable for the US to ban the certain Chinese companies (e.g. Tiktok) _until_ China changes its laws and trade practices.
> Average score in basketball is around 110-90? I just googled "basketball greatest comeback", and it said "Only eight times in NBA history has a team rallied from a 30-plus point deficit to win a game." I rest my case regarding comebacks.

A good team going down 30 points in a basketball game would be extremely uncommon. And in playoffs, series are best-of-7 so there is another level of comebacks. You can lose the game, or even multiple games, and come from behind to take the series. This kind of speaks to my point that your perception is really based on a lack of understanding about the games.

If you think about goal scoring as a stochastic process where the likelihood of scoring is relative to the team's skill, then a better team could very easily go down by a few goals in soccer whereas it would be extremely unlikely for a better team to go down by dozens of goals.

Also, there have been over a hundred multi-point comebacks this season in the NHL.
How though? They couldn’t been going that fast.
You don’t get to decide on someone’s salary for this kind of work. The value should be determined by the market. If 10,000 big companies find curl useful and they all value on a $10,000 contribution then curl should receive 100 million.
This article discusses indoor lighting, but it's worth noting that cheap, efficient outdoor LED lighting is destroying our night sky, bathing everyone nearby (including animals!) in light that screws up their circadian rhythms, and makes the city at night a harsher place.

> You just said we should never make new things criminal.

I did not say that so do not twist my words. I never even said hacking should be legal.

I said that in the current context the legality of hacking does not matter because either large scale hacking happens across borders. Or often it is at such a small scale it never reaches the legal system (think spouses snooping on each other by using a password written on a post-it). Or the resources to track down a hacker are far to high to lead to an investigation and therefore it never reaches the legal system (think logins and cc numbers where people and banks just deal with it).

In the 1990's and early 2000's when most hacking was unsophisticated, prosecution might have been an effective deterrent.

Eh... here you start to lose me. A lot of my repositories get pushed to a personal server (which for me personally is usually just a bare repo, but could be ex. gitea). On the hosted side, I use GitHub and GitLab, which you do support, but I also use sourcehut.

Finally, the telemetry is a big red flag for me. Opt-out is always a red flag, especially since you don't appear to signal it to the user up front. And under things collected at https://gut-cli.dev/docs/#64dc74dd-8a3d-44d6-aab7-55483519a8... , what exactly does

1) Since there is Freedom of Movement and no border checks in the European Union, the only way to determine where someone is actually resident is if they register it. Health Insurance is mandatory in Germany. I am would have thought an American health insurance provider would also want to know someone is actually resident in America before they signed them up.

2) Only for businesses. It seems pretty sensible to me that someone who is taking money in return for the future delivery of a product or service should have some legally watertight method of contact, and not just an e-mail address which might bounce, or a contact form. You also only have to identify the person who is willing to be the legal contact for the content, it doesn't have to be the actual owner/author.

3) As said by others, you only have to produce it later, not on the spot. In some countries the idea of a mandatory ID is anathema, but as I see it modern society is not really possible without proof of ID, and countries which insist on not issuing ID documents effectively end up with an poor unofficial substitute. In the US the driving license and SSN is effectively the mandatory form of ID, it just isn't very good at it since it wasn't designed to be one.
What is "SSRI" in the context of LEDs?
Very interesting thought on how to mitigate this, because I think a solution like with parameterized queries isnt possible - at least with my current understanding (the attack is more of a "social engineering" attack on the AI).

Regarding the supervisor AI, in theory it would be vulnerable to the same attack but probably more difficult to perform. One could even have multiple supervisors (with different sensitivity levels or focus areas) to get a vote on the content I guess.

Interesting problem space.

So from comment to comment, you're changing your focus.

That's not really a fair debate.

Parent's author, whom I quoted, did not focus on copyright cases as you did and do in this comment.

Hence I called him out on his generalization.

Now you are going back to "small time individuals" in the context of copyright and how that seems to be an unfair system to you.

I won't debate the merits or unfairness of copyright.

I just disagree with the general notion that all of continental Europe is a corporation paradise and all citizens are oppressed and all judges rule with corps.

It's frankly ridiculous.

ChatGPT AI generation function in LAF
LAF (https://github.com/labring/laf) now supports ChatGPT AI generation function, providing a seamless and efficient way for developers to deploy and scale AI applications to use Function Compute. With this new feature, developers can easily leverage the power of ChatGPT to generate high-quality text content and integrate it with their own applications.

Using LAF and ChatGPT, developers can quickly build and deploy AI applications, such as chatbots, recommendation systems, and content generators, without having to worry about infrastructure or scaling issues. With the automatic scaling capabilities of Function Compute, developers can focus on building the AI models and let LAF take care of the deployment and scaling aspects.

In addition, LAF provides a secure and reliable environment for AI application development, with features such as access control, logging, and exception handling. This ensures that your AI applications are always available and performing at their best.

Overall, the support of ChatGPT in LAF brings a new level of efficiency and scalability to AI application development, making it easier than ever before to build and deploy high-quality AI applications

> At that speed, the engines are assumed to have been scraped after each flight.
> One could make assumptions that the ram-jet elements of an SR-71's J-58s could allow for a few minutes...far beyond that

I would expect the SR-71 to stay at speed longer and for the engines to be capable of higher power (assuming the airframe and intake can handle it). US engines were generally higher quality, while Soviet engines were expected to be replaced very quickly relatively. However, this was a conscious decision on the part of the USSR: instead of making expensive engines with good maintainability in the field, they chose to make cheap engines that were easy to replace. As a result, while a MiG-25 may have only been able to maintain Mach 3 for a few minutes and ruin the engine in the process, they built 1,186 of them, with probably >5,000 Mach 3 capable engines.

Not particularly relevant, but always interesting to discuss how different people think
That's just because they made accounts and so agreed to the terms right?

From your link:

>These rulings suggest that courts are much more comfortable restricting scraping activity where the parties have agreed by contract (whether directly or through agents) not to scrape. But courts remain wary of applying the CFAA and the potential criminal consequences it carries to scraping. The apparent exception is when a company engages in a pattern of intentionally creating fake accounts to collect logged-in data.
That's humanizing it. The only entity on this earth that's particularly keen on bulk killing humans is humans (the ones building this).

There is good evidence suggesting it causes mental health issues, especially in adolescents. Keeping it under close study is a good idea, however calling it 'a national threat' is just knee-jerk grunting from 'the man'.
Where exactly would you mount a light like the one you linked?

10 hours per day sounds like a crazy amount of time to use a light. I think we use some lights in our house maybe 4 hours per day on average max. Maybe I just have a lot of windows and don't live in Alaska in the winter.
The alignment portion of training requires you to have upvote/downvote data on many LLM responses. Google’s attempt at that (at least according to the news so far) was asking all employees to volunteer time ranking the responses. Combined with no historical feedback from ChatGPT, they are behind.
Occasionally. And I would use a non-dimmable lamp for that.
There is zero evidence that a warming planet would case a systemic collapse in biodiversity. In fact, 500 millions of planetary history shows the opposite. As the planet warms, biodiversity increases. There is nothing to argue about here.
Incandescent generate heat, they're great if you need heat and one tone of light and that's it.

LEDs are part of a progression to everything being addressable, think of them as pixels. There's a decreasing incentive to not make everything addressable and support not just dimming but also colour. This is ultimately a completely different approach to environments. Transitioning from "the lights are on and I can easily see my broccoli" to very fine relationships between sources and qualities of light and their interpretation. Some of the benefits will be emergent, which sounds like hand-waving, and sometimes it is. (-:

I don't develop native Windows apps anymore, but for me the deployment of UWP apps was just not acceptable. I tend to not want to register apps in a software store. I happily provide repositories or packages, but I don't need the dependency on a manufacturer.

I think it was just them wanting to push their stores and auth solutions and all this crappy overhead.

My kids were able to breastfeed until 2 years old and ween at their pace because my wife works from home.

The whole concept of women pumping and then someone else feeding their baby defrosted frozen breastmilk because they have to work is crazy. Women should have at least 1 year with their child, and if that means men need to be off for a year too, then so be it.
Is that not a distinction without a meaningful difference since communism always ends in a centrally lead, totalitarian regime? The Chinese Communist Party merely used a form of state-capitalism to bootstrap it. Xi Jinping believes in Marxism-Leninism. That's not a secret. In 2021, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party declared Xi Jinping Thought "a new breakthrough in the Sinicization of Marxism."

The days of America violating sovereign airspace are drawing to a close, thankfully.

“The United States-initiated aerial bombing of targets inside the borders of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah which took place on April 15, 1986, was met with substantial and immediate criticism by the world community. The positive reaction from the U.S. congress and the American public was not shared by much of the world. Arab nations denounced the American action, as did the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. In meetings of the UN Security Council, countries denouncing the raid outnumbered those which supported it.

That was a lot of my curiosity, because I'm not quite a good enough programmer to know whether the problem is just that the original code is bad or does something super inefficient, and so rewriting it any language will let you make massive improvements.

I have "Is It Snappy?" on my phone, and before I buy any bulbs or fixtures I check to see how badly they flicker. Walking down the Home Depot or Menards lighting isle and taking video of each fixture, there is infinite variation, and not always tied to price.

By being conscious and careful, I believe I've managed to have a pretty flicker free house. Cree has always been my go to non smart bulb, but I have not purchased any (I guess other than dimmable cans) since their acquisition. I was not impressed with their smart ecosystem and returned all of it. The software wasn't ready and the firmware was glitchy.

Another thing mentioned not mentioned in the article, is how bad light looks to pets. Dogs can see the flickering, and with one previous fixture that is now gone, I noticed the dogs getting more anxious when the light was on. They didn't like me moving at them suddenly. I can only imagine how choppy the light made the world to them. Imagine a world where to everyone else things look fine, but to you everything is strobing.
