> The BBC is funded by the taxpayer, who rightfully expect impartiality from their presenters.

This BBC is not funded by taxation. It's funded by a subscription paid by owners of TV reception equipment. Some people who pay the licence fee also pay taxes, but some don't.

> you can't use the platform like your own personal soapbox.

Lineker didn't express his opinion on the BBC's platform. He used his personal account on Twitter, which is clearly separate from the BBC.

Whether licence-fee payers expect BBC sports presenters to refrain from expressing political opinions outside of their work for the BBC is debatable - as far as I know, nobody has consulted them in a systematic way.

LoL, if there was a way to make paper results reproducible in this cycle maybe I wouldn't mind that much.

Even better, give me a chatGPT version that reads a paper and creates a python notebook (or whatever else is appropriate) that reproduces a paper result. I m sure $job would pay for me to use that and evaluate new research faster for inclusion into our products.

over the past 5-10 years my field biology has embraced preprints, with some famous papers remaining as preprints (most famously, I'd say, is the BWA-MEM paper). Most preprints I see are of decent quality, certainly higher than what gets published in MDPI et al. Every article is already getting published and the world hasn't ended yet :)
This is all true. We should also fix global warming, it's the same kind of problem. Massive investments now or even more massive losses tomorrow.
> Except he didn't, he used his own personal twitter account.

The BBC's impartiality rules cover this.

> Personal Activity

> Expressions of Opinion on Social Media

> Where individuals identify themselves as being linked with the BBC, or are programme makers, editorial staff, reporters or presenters primarily associated with the BBC, their activities on social media have the potential to compromise the BBC’s impartiality and to damage its reputation.

> Our audiences must be able to trust the integrity of BBC programmes and services and be confident that the outside activities of our presenters, programme makers and other staff do not undermine the BBC's impartiality or reputation or that their editorial decisions are not perceived to be influenced by any commercial or personal interests.

> They should not:

> state or reveal publicly how they vote or express support for any political party

> express a view for or against any policy which is a matter of current party political debate

Honest and competent civil servants are one of the most precious resource in any government, and even more in poor countries.

Hence it is important to economies on their use.

Eg instead of having court appointed bankruptcy proceedings that tie up the time of a judge, just liquidate.

In general, you want to arrange government procedures to be simple and quick to carry out, and with not much subjective judgement requirement, because that requires competence and provides nooks and crannies to hide corruption in.

Pulling back the responsibilities of government and lettings markets handle more, is a good way to assist with this effort.

(Another example: when you privatise a government owned company or department, you should pay off its debts and auction it off to the highest bidder. Government officials should not be used to judge a beauty contest of business plans for the new entity. Those plans never work out as advertised anyway.

In an account sense, paying off the debts first doesn't make a difference: a company with 1 dollar more debt on the balance sheet should just sell for an additional dollar more.

But in practice, asset stripping is much easier done with highly leveraged companies, and politically it's hard to keep the government from (implicitly) backing the debt.)

Has there been some kind of collective amnesia regarding Guantanamo bay or the torture that took place in Iraq and Afghanistan? Did America's campaign of drone strikes simply not occur?

In less recent memory we might recall the US "protecting democracy" by providing direct financial, training, operational training, and the occasional assassination to military coups/dictators in Latin America[0].

Allies of the US certainly have it a lot easier but it doesn't mean their leaders communications won't be monitored [1].

China's behaviour is certainly objectionable but as someone that lives in neither country the US has a much more worrying history of foreign interference.

I'd actually be quite happy to drive a Prius, I was just being hyperbolic. Some people would be afraid of being judged for driving for Uber and would reject a Prius just for that specific reason. But we can't control how everybody feels. Mainly it's just that lets not pretend that an old luxury car, BMW or Mercedes or otherwise, and a new Prius are in the same market segment. They may cost a similar dollar amount, but they're bought by different buyers.

Tell HN: Gitlab just downgraded my premium subscription without warning
Today I got to the office to find lots of the Premium features of Gitlab disabled. No iterations, no incident management, and as a result, a broken system.

I got no warning from them that this would happen. Communications from the account manager assured me that my subscription was not at risk. Yet, I was still downgraded.

I am now in a world of ticket-tennis and email ping-pong with Gitlab Support and my account manager, neither of which are able to resolve anything and, as a result, many of our processes are broken.

What used to be a system that I really liked has definitely lost it's sheen for me over the last year or so -- piss-poor customer service, bugs that languish in their backlog for years, and rising prices to boot.

"You can control inflation with taxes, and it's a more fiscally responsible way to do it."

There is an interesting and compelling theory that you can control inflation with taxes (broadly, MMT[1]) but the cautious and (in my opinion) warranted skepticism that you voice, upthread, about prevailing economic theories should be extended to MMT as well.

We don't really know if money supply creation via "printing" and the corresponding destruction via taxation will work just as MMT suggests it will.

not privacy conscious. but in slack, during the huddle call, when someone shares their screen, slack app gives an option to separate the huddle and the screenshare in 2 different windows. it is very helpful since the screenshare window is a floating window so i can also multi task.

The big problem with health insurance is that the people who buy it think that they are buying a health subscription.

> People are buying EVs because they're better.

No, they are not. It may be for some particular use cases, but generalisation is naturally bad idea.

Objectively they are vastly inferior to combustion engine cars (unless we bring Tesla to comparison). Low mileage, slow refuelling, very low lifetime. Slow acceleration.

If they were better as you state, governments wouldn't come with all sorts of subsidies to coerce people into buying EV. Market would correct itself and combustion engines would be a part of the past. But it's not happening, and I assert would never happen in future.

The current problem isn’t a lack of data. Meaningful data can be augmented with GPTs, just iterate over sparsely represented subjects and enrich them with context-aware samples …generated with GPT.

We are actively leveraging GPT4s brainstorming-ability to generate datasets used for finetuning downstream. The fine tuned models downstream can then be used to augment new training data for more complex root language models, just formalize your quality assurance with common sense DSLs. We’ve reached an upward spiral with quite the exponential feel to it, where it will lead, nobody knows.
I wondered what he thought was so special about bitcoin. From https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/02/gary-gensler-on-meet...:

> “Everything other than bitcoin,” Gensler told me, “you can find a website, you can find a group of entrepreneurs, they might set up their legal entities in a tax haven offshore, they might have a foundation, they might lawyer it up to try to arbitrage and make it hard jurisdictionally or so forth.” In other words, there are people behind these cryptocurrencies using a variety of complex and legally opaque mechanisms, but at the most basic level, they are trying to promote their tokens and entice investors. (Bitcoin, because of its unique history and creation story, is fundamentally different from other crypto projects in this respect.)
This is a nice story but it's just not true. The amount of leverage built up in the derivatives market on Binance is completely transparent. The trading shops named in the CFTC suit are very unlikely to blow themselves up in anything remotely resembling the way 2008 unfolded, and the CFTC regulations are not designed to catch anything important that might realistically be going on under the surface here.

The point of this CFTC lawsuit is to attack crypto, no more, no less. If you don't like crypto, you may think that's a good thing, but I'd argue that it's always a bad thing when regulators leverage technicalities to achieve political ends. And make no mistake, that is exactly what is happening here.

The problem is that Facebook and Instagram are "the old thing" and WhatsApp monetization ja hard without pushing users to Signal (or Apple iMessage) while kids spend their time on TikTok instead.

And there was also a Volkswagen eGolf, although I think that one has been abandoned to be replaced by models with electric-specific naming.

Sorry but science community need more papers indeed. For example only successful novel results are being published, but not those others who are doing validation jobs.

Although some are frauds, but their theory is new, they get passed. No one bother to test the theory because no journal will accept such boring validation paper.

Last thing to mention is that the count of pages do not matter. It is not an excuse to refuse to publish great work from scientist.
I work in an IoT startup that is upgrading commercial HVAC to support smarter energy management. It's shockingly easy to save 10-20, sometimes up to 50% energy just by scheduling and occupancy-based control. All these huge, empty, cold rooms in the malls and office buildings are wasting a lot. Commercial buildings are contributing up to 40% of all greenhouse emissions, so if we reduce that by 20%, that's already a 8% global win. It is software + hardware though.

"What field of economic thought leads you to claim that inflation can (and should) be controlled by taxing the rich?"

Not "the rich" per se, but he is speaking of MMT[1] which maintains that the government of a sovereign printer (sorry, Argentina) does not need taxes at all because they don't "need" the money.

MMT purports that money is created by "printing" it into existence and money is destroyed by taxing it away.

we do understand that they generate words with probabilities one by one though. They are transformers, the AI bit takes the entire prompt as input and returns a range of probabilities for the next token (token == word, it doesnt understand or see letters). A "dumb" algorithm then selects from these probabilities randomly using the probabilities returned by the ai based on the "temprature" setting (low temprature favors high probability words & high temprature selects from a whole lot of words but leads into really weird territory fast)

It's also worth remembering that this is not just a markov chain as many people seem to think, it doesn't simply remember what words come next in its training set, because statistically if you take a random 10 consecutive words from a piece of text, chances are its never been written before. (also the trained model is much smaller than the size of the dataset, so to simply remember everything it would have to be the worlds best compression algorithm by orders of magnitude) Thats why we need an AI here, to learn the general rules of language so it can respond to chains of words it has never seen before.

The sense that we "dont understand how they work" is that we dont know what the "rules of language" that it has learned are.
It's a very interesting article, and it gives me another reason to be skeptical of AI. Not only is it doing this with images, but also with writing, and it perpetuates that. We already see languages adopting English modes of thought where they didn't have it -- while, ironically, claiming to be decolonising their minds -- and it's leading to a loss of diversity in how languages express things, which is generally an underlying representation of how cultures conceive of them. English and the cultural hegemony of Anglophone countries is basically destroying diversity, in all forms, across the world.
