I recently learned from an NPR piece that only about 13% of US households have a heat pump.

This floored me. One because in my mid Atlantic area nearly every house has a heat pump. When house shopping many years ago we never saw a listing that didn't have one.

The other is that if you have central air then it seems like you should have a heat pump. You're basically just running the heat pump backwards to provide heat instead of air conditioning, but apparently the vast majority of central air installs are only set up to do cooling? This makes no sense to me. Even if you area gets too cold to be efficiently warmed by a heat pump in the winter you can still use it for several months out of the year and switch to gas only when you need to. It's not like gas is especially cheap.
That which is claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

He literally tweeted:

"No doubt, many embarrassing issues will be discovered, but we will fix them fast!"
The proper way to do that is create a pool of celebrities and monitor them. Not just the CEO's account.

For very active accounts, I assume that's what the "vits" or "power user" one is for. Or, heck, "vits" might actually be what you said.
With the explosion of LLMs and people figuring out ways to train/use them relatively cheaply, unique data sets will become that much more valuable, and will be the key differentiator between LLMs.

Interestingly, it seems like companies that run chat programs where they can read the chats are best suited to building "human conversation" LLMs, but someone who manages large text datasets for others are in the perfect place to "win" the LLM battle.
I've purchased from Crutchfield, as did my father before me, for over 40 years. Not one...single...bad word to say about my experiences. They have almost always exceeded expectations, and to reiterate what you already said, their instructions and support are outstanding. Hence my "go to Crutchfield's site...".
Or perhaps it does nothing at all, and it was there so we talk about it, the "is_democrat"/"is_republican" is also ridiculous, as if the goal was to demonstrate a point about social media in general, hmm

It's harder with visas, because you're not gambling if you can find another job, you're gambling if your employer can acquire a visa in time for you to not be deported.
What are the good countries? In crypto, most business seems to come down to converting an unstable fiat currency into a stable fiat one. DeFi is just the middleman.
This seems incredibly short-sighted.
Other projects can't use waterfall development because they would like to actually produce something useful instead of what was decided at the start of the project.

It's a whole different world of software development. If you set out to build flight control software because it is needed to run on a new airplane, you're not going to pivot midstream and build something else instead.
Textual inversion involves providing self-created images, which should confer copyright in the same way AI images of DC's superman are considered to fall under the copyright of DC. In other words, commissioning fanart still allows the original owner of the IP to exert copyright -- shouldn't that be the case here?
I think (?) that would work as long as your circuit is more negatively charged than your battery and has enough capacitance to keep current flowing- you just have to discharge it later. Maybe with a second, negatively-charged battery...

Trucks weigh a lot. The penalty for fucking around them is stiff. No surprise their involvement leads to more deaths.

My understanding is that class 6/7/8 trucks only cause a tiny fraction of the crashes they're involved in. That's why they get so pissy when people who work in offices tell them they're the ones who have to suffer more regulation in the name of safety.

Citing states like % of fatal accidents doesn't mean much unless you know the accident has anything to do with something we regulate. No amount of sleep is going to stop someone from texting and driving nor will it change the physics of what happens when a 4k sedan rear ends 80k of truck.
80% of buildings in NYC are heated by steam, not gas, generated by a boiler in the basement. I assume most of those boilers are themselves gas-burning, but I also assume that any refit to these buildings would just replace the gas-powered boiler with an electric one. When it comes to boiling water, induction stoves are already more efficient than gas stoves, so it doesn't seem infeasible.

actually, millclock is also making new nixie tubes now, so they are one of the two only games in town.

nixie manufacture at a non-industrial level is pretty involved, so each tube has to pay for someone manufacturing it for several hours, and that's before you even get to material and research costs. I do wish these tubes were more affordable, but the price is unfortunately pretty understandable.
Wait until you see all the empty high rises sold to overseas investors lying empty. Like a ghost town around nine elms.
That just seems to feed the point to me. Google was competing with organizations particularly created for a new tech market that didn't exist before them. NYC library was maybe the largest player available to consumers? (Before the emergent search tech like alta vista and yahoo that Google disrupted.)

Stripe is a payment processor with the most disruptive automation, competing with other payment processors older than the web. Every industry will be shrinking in people per net work, few industries are new things (at least for the public) enabled by automation.

If we want to call all disruptors tech companies, why not also call the old companies that transform to compete with them tech companies too? Then every industry is tech. But really it is the opposite, tech as it ages becomes regular business that is more dependent on trademarks, relationships, etc, so some things we consider tech from recent decades are less so now and companies that stay primarily in them are more like old industry than tech companies that compete for the newly emerging fields.
Also there is no law preventing publicly funded ambulances. The reason they do not exist in some places is because voters (and this is local voters, as police/fire funding is very local) have chosen not to raise taxes to pay for it.

This is an understandable decision because running an ambulance service is expensive and cities/counties would rather have someone else pay for at least a part of it. Here is a nice explanation from the City of Long Beach:

> Twitter is also using the page rank algo that google created. Basically, if a lot of people interact with the user they create more authority in the system.
it depends on the problem?
We should really all just bow in awe as we are clearly inferior.
The problem is a lot of these cars don't have head units. They just have all sorts of irregular LCD screens built in to the dash.
> I'm not sure what use case is a speculative pyramid scheme like crypto, where there is no intrinsic value at all.

Modern currencies like USD, EUR, JPY etc. don't have intrinsic value either.

> It is a morally repugnant gambling speculative vice which destroys lives and is even worse than fiat.

We should ban speculative buying of comics, gaming skins, Pokémon cards and, of course, gambling in casinos worldwide too. Also, the gambling on Robinhood is morally repugnant too, as grown up adults can't be trusted to manage their money.

> Not to mention Bitcoin and the like burning the planet trying to solve useless puzzles.

The value in solving the puzzles is securing the network (no other network is as secure as Bitcoin, see [1]). Gold mining uses the same energy amount as BTC. [2] Only 8% of Gold of the gold dug up is used for productive means by the industry. The rest is bought by speculators, jewelries and central banks because it's shiny. [3]

pretty sure Elon gets a boost in the algorithm. All okay - he's the owner of a private entity and can do as he pleases.
It should be much easier for us to select "don't use my data" on anything we own - Github accounts, websites, anything that has our real identity attached to it.

I love everything about this. As usual EU leads the way in protecting people's privacy.
> as opposed to OpenAI’s continuing practice of not revealing the sources of their training data.

Looks like that choice makes it more difficult to adopt, trust, or collaborate on the new tech.

What are the benefits? Is there more to that than competitive advantage? If not, ClosedAI sounds more accurate.
Considering it statistically, likely on a lower plane.
> High interest is killing stock market returns.

The stock market (as measured by SP500) is down only 15% from its all time high, and is currently higher than any point before 2021.
Fiction, on the whole, or at least popular fiction is driven by drama and strife. Usually preventable drama and unnecessary strife, if only adults would "use their words". The real world is not as straightforward as fiction, and quite often more absurd.

That said

Is a good place to start.
So you need a blue check mark to reach non followers and Lebron won’t get one? Sounds like it’s making Twitter better already.
IMHO the whole Software Enginer training pipeline is fully broken for a lot of overlapping reasons and I have no idea how to fix it.
Great. Get rid of 'Police' departments and create a new form of community protection with no long history and none of that baggage :) problem solved. Thanks Scalia for encouraging 'defund the Police' as the ONLY solution to the problem!
Would it be developed in open as well or there will be frequent merge from their internal repos?

Can I use the word “GPT” in a company or product name?
I see it's already registered as a trademark https://alter.com/trademarks/gpt-97733259.

Does it mean I can't form a company and call it let's say "Enterprise GPT"? Or create a product that'd be called "Copilot GPT". Please advise.
>Getting that user feedback cycle and being able to improve your models, build a trust and safety layer turns out to be an important thing to do.

I have had a theory that Google has started with a less-capable but easier to host LLM in order to obtain RLHF data. That is where I think they are actually behind. They have access to huge amounts of training data, but without the reinforcement feedback, it isn't going to scale in the ways they need it to right now.
This is definitely the the worst case, but in how many places is coal the only thing on the grid? If I look a bit randomly at electricity maps there's barely any place left where it's just coal on the grid.
That was one of Elon’s core statements when he first talked about buying Twitter. If he had gotten it out sooner there would be an easier link between the two, but if you want more context just go read the old tweets and articles from the Twitter vs Elon days.
You mean like this algorithmic bias?

But the problem isn't my python environment - the problem is distributing packages, particularly libraries, to downstream users. That one over there uses virtualenvs and a bash script she wrote, that one just ran "pip" and has 4 different system python installs entangled into each other; that one ran `pipenv install`, that one `poetry add`.

How do I ensure that at each customer site, my library has the set of dependencies it needs, with versions that it is known to work with? Each installation method has a different constraint solver, a different means of specifying dependencies.

Twitter had 18 years to publish their algorithm under the previous management and they didn’t.
How so? More details and reasoning?
The problem is in the future when you decarbonize how are you going to do it with a gas furnace? Bio-gas is extremely niche and shows no sign of picking up anytime soon. Meanwhile your local power plant already switched from coal to natural gas, but in the future the grid is going towards wind, solar, and battery storage.

You can even install solar panels locally to cut down on transmission losses.
Yeah - generally speaking these days if I'm setting up a "desktop" running Linux it 99% likely going to be Kubuntu (with snapd purged and Firefox installed from the Mozilla Team PPA).
/r/personalfinance is a phenomenal resource where this kind of info is freely available, and the advice therein more or less obviates the need for tax strategists and financial advisors for what I'd estimate is something like 80% of people.

There's even crazier options like the Mega Backdoor which require working at a company with an excellent benefits package. When combined with a normal Roth backdoor and an HSA, they allow a high earner to set aside $22,500 in a traditional 401(k) and $50,000 in Roth accounts, for $72,500 in tax-advantaged savings every year. With the information from my previous comment, this means that every year you do this equates to $50,000/yr you can spend in early retirement completely tax- and penalty-free

It's absolutely insane to me and also completely indefensible that simple access to this level of tax-avoidance is available to people based on their employer. Someone who earns the same level of income but at a different employer without a 401(k) only has the opportunity to set aside $6,500 (solely in a Roth IRA). And even doing that requires knowing about the backdoor "trick".
How is the current system 'a mess'?

It powers the whole world. Almost every kind of transaction you can think of.

If people would follow the regs most things would work.

I think the biggest issue is transactional drag aka something needs to replace VISA, and should be nicer consumer protections for personal accounts but for the most part it works.

Nothing Crypto has offered is better, not even close.

I suggest someday that may happen, but it will 'feel' much more like traditional bakning when it happens.

There is a reason why banking is the most 'buttoned down, small-c conservative' industry because oversight, competency etc. all of that matters. It's that world.

... notwithstanding some other issues that would exist with crypto as well, such as mortgage lending etc..
Seems dumb of them. Cost is trivial and their competition that isn’t so politically motivated will have a much further reach.

The smart move would be silent on the policy change, pay, and support rival platforms as they can. Instead they will eventually pay and look like they lost.
Or the data is assumed good and used dangerously.
The NHS is the sixth largest organisation by employee-count in the world. At some point I think we have to address the elephant in the room that throwing money at it won't fix it, and we should look to other European countries that have a hybrid public/private system to help push efficiency and cost savings. There's so much inefficiency in the NHS it is mind-boggling and I firmly believe it would be addressed if they started to have to compete. The issue with private healthcare in the UK is they don't have the specialists they need to operate real hospitals - if you have complications in a private hospital they take you to an NHS hospital.

Any time a billionaire buys a media company it's bad for the health of democracy.
So false equivalence is written into the platform. Insane opinions of one party must be displayed as often as moderate opinions of the other. It definitely works for angering everyone on Twitter, not so much for actual dialog or progress.

Inspired by this discussion, I experimented today with having GPT-4 walk me through deploying a microservice wrapping OpenAI APIs on AWS Lambda, something I haven't done.

I haven't actually run the code it emitted for me (in Python), but the entire experience was genuinely mind-boggling.

I see why people have been leaning on it. Once we get project- and repo- and institutional environment-level awareness, which I assume will be soon, I can't imagine not using the assistance.

Everything is going to change. I knew that, but now I know it.
No.

Yeah I saw that. Unfortunately Google doesn't allow extensions on mobile Chrome.
It's not used at run-time, it's in the repository so that the large language models that are training on the github corpus will know how special elon is, and so that the future code written for twitter by GPT-5 will take the hint and add the favoritism autonomously.

There are esoteric code golf languages that use unicode. MPW (shell, assembler) used extended characters (MacRoman, not unicode but then again, APL also predates unicode) for some operations.

eg, instead of "echo yo >> file" you would "echo yo ≥ file"
Another case of poorly chosen defaults leading to bugs, leading to security issues.

Also a case of violating the Principle of Least Astonishment [0]. How many people would expect that when you write a file you would also have specify that you want it truncated?

My biggest issue with this would be that the Apple Music app only streams from the streaming service. Those of use happily chugging along with iTunes purchases and iTunes Match are out of luck.

It answered much like a human I think. Ask a human this "riddle" and you might get a confused "what, is this the polar bear one?"

It’s possible to do playback controls on UAC 2 devices.

The audio device needs to report a 2nd interface to the host for an HID device which can then send forward HID media key events like a USB keyboard.

I’d wager this is how AOA v2 handled it as well–I don’t see any mention of controls in the audio interface docs.

Max here from CoScreen.
I'm with you, sharing a portion of the screen or window would be very useful for this scenario. I can also imagine running CoScreen from the VM itself, but that would only work for Mac and Windows VMs at this point (Audio and video could still go through your physical machine —— i.e. you would connect with two users). We also have a headless Linux client in the pipeline that could serve to connect the VM directly.

It's functional, compared to most of the US where public transportation effectively doesn't exist.

I agree Europe is a step above, but to be fair European cities tend to be much more compact. Public transportation can't work well when things are spread out

CA taxes get you the privilege to say you're progressive, and that you're not like that other guy. For everything else, use your Mastercard.

We've been spending some time in Turkey since the pandemic and despite all the corruption, we experienced clean streets (swept daily, hardly rocket science), rebuilt roads, rebuilt sidewalks, new bike lanes, maintained gardens/parks, improved broadband, virtually no homelessness. They even tried cleaning the temporary sea snot problem, which seemed a bit like trying to boil the ocean. But A for effort, I thought.

I love CA but also quite heart broken that in over a decade, I've watched San Francisco get more and more expensive, with taxes also going up, and homelessness get more and more prevalent, only to find out that in 2019 they were not letting homeless people with drug issues or dogs in shelters, and complaining about how homeless people "don't wanna go to the shelters." Well, have the operators not seen a single homeless person? I bet having a dog and drug issues is the greatest predictor of homelessness. So the homeless shelter is basically a shelter that doesn't allow any homeless in.
For me, at least, I don't even see it signed by "Twitter".

I see a "By" under the headline, with an empty space where the author should be. (Maybe it's since been updated/removed?)

Most people working there are looking for other jobs. It is not hard to find another job, but in this market it is hard to find one that pays the same. A lot of people have 4 year stock grants and annual refreshers, pushing their compensation very high which can only be matched at other tech companies, which currently are not hiring much.
