> Tech support via hacker news was and always will be negative publicity.

Negative feedback is good feedback imho. It helps to understand what went wrong, what to improve, and which actions should be taken.

https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/community-relati... has more insights.

> More neutral might be individual escalation behind the scenes.

Agreed, and this happened. For transparency, I went ahead and posted a comment here. It would be unfair to not respond publicly to the immediate concerns. This happens on all channels when necessary - Hacker News, community forums or social media - outside of the regular support channels, and will need a response to users.

> And lastly, positive one would be an explanation of what went wrong and what steps are taken to prevent it from happening again. (Or writing a defense from your view, which is fair game since the "accuser" went public already.)

In this case, I forwarded the message internally, and asked to escalate, which already was put into action. I do not have updates on what caused the problems, but can follow up tomorrow if it is safe to share, and does not contain confidential customer data.
I am confused. Was he a person OpenAI designated to prevent the open letter to halt AI training?

I guess it makes sense… the difference in how much other people are affected however is so stark that this does suggest a generational thing.

And then there are the hospitalisation rates. Did we lower the seriousness threshold to get our kids to the hospital? Unless they were talking about psychiatry hospitals that doesn't seem likely.

> Um, statistically, trans women are more common than trans men.

I think it is somewhat more common for people who are AFAB to identify as non-binary than for people who are AMAB to do so, which if you consider it part of the same broad class of things might be sufficient to tip the balance back to that side.

Not that I endorse the “social contagion” theory GP is spouting, in the least.
If your scenario involves all parties "fully grokking the optimal solution to the iterated prisoners' dilemma" I suspect it's yourself who has not thought things through.

Imagine that: a culture that promotes individualism and the pursuit of profit over all else leads to a generation of people with few close friends and lots of loneliness and stress.
The chumash are genetically very close to other American Indian peoples, who are collectively related to historic groups that populated Northeast Asia. Both land and sea voyages from Asia to the Americas are reasonable mainstream hypotheses given current evidence, but they're both commonly called "crossing the Bering strait".

A transpacific voyage from somewhere like southeast Asia may have been theoretically possible, but there's no actual evidence that the first settlers of the Americas came that way and quite a lot of evidence that they didn't.
> The vendor cam work with the ODM to customize hardware and firmware, so "rebadge" is a really poor way of describing it

It's the best way to describe it: they change maybe the wifi card, certainly the logo, tweak a few bios defaults, and for sure you a premium for that, but that's all they can do, and nothing you couldn't do yourself (except the logo, unless you like stickers lol)

> Note, though, that buying from Windows vendors will make the situation worse, not better.

In term of having more rebadging? Yes, there will be more parasites taking advantage of people who want to buy the right to have someone to blame for their laptop not working correctly on Linux.

But it terms on Linux support, it will not change anything: Lenovo still offers the best support, with other companies except Framework limited by their dependance on Clevo

It might even make things worse, by leading those who've been taken advantage of by unscrupulous companies that Linux just doesn't work well on laptops.

More important, for those wanting the best results, it will be counter productive: they will certainly have someone to blame (they paid for that "right" after all) but they could have instead taken the problem in their own hands and made their hardware work, with the help of resources like archwiki.

It's not the ideal solution, but I think Framework will need another 5 to 10 years to be really competitive to Lenovo. In the meantime, I would be happy to support them or help them, but now that I've decided 2023 is my year of Linux on the desktop, it'll have to be on a Lenovo.

Do you mean conflicts or spillovers?

This doesn't address the issue of non-CO2 pollution. Which is especially bad in large cities.

I have seen plenty of FPV videos of homebuilt racing drones with wires across the front for fusing some explosive charge. I have seen another drone watch a small racing drone hit an APC with people riding on it and explode with what is probably a few ounces to a pound of C4. I have seen FPV drones supposedly carrying RPG rounds to attack lightly armored vehicles.

I have seen zero videos of racing drones not even a foot long and foot wide carrying 30 pound artillery shells. I have seen zero footage of those tiny racing drones in the air under their own power carrying a 30 pound artillery shell. I have seen zero evidence of it even being possible for a notebook sized racing drone to carry 30 pounds.

Now I have to wonder how this works out with prompt injection?

If you can target an audience with an ad that is inline with the chat/LLM, how hard would it be to have that ad inject a prompt that coerces it to trick the user into giving up financial info and exfiltrating that info via a web request to a website that the attacker owns?

That's probably the worst case scenario but like you mentioned there's also plenty of danger in ads "poisoning" the chat to produce intentionally incorrect or biased responses.
> It's just hard to wrap my head around what this trend would be, or why teens started picking up on it in 2012.

One reason could be they started talking to each other more. Women and girls who had similar life experience shared them on the internet. This is how the whole Me Too movement started; the experiences shared during the Me Too movement were old, but it was the internet and social media which acted as a catalyst to dislodge them from the past and bring them into the present.

> I am not conscious of any major modern debates around women's rights except abortion/birth control

Don't you recall the 2016 Presidential election? There was a huge debate about whether or not a woman was ready to be President of the United States. I don't know about your family, but in my family people thought it very clever to say that a woman could never become president, because her period would make her too volatile. This kind of rhetoric may have flowed right past you, but it wasn't lost on women (especially the very cogent point that men have in fact started most wars in all of human history).

The outcome of that election was that America chose a serial sexual predator who has admitted to spying on women in changing rooms, has raped women, and who has admitted to using his power and prestige to assault women. It wasn't lost on women that this man, with a famously volatile temper, was chosen over a women because he was viewed as more trustworthy and more stable than her.

That man ended his term by waging a violent coup against the United States government with his supporters, who themselves made an effort assassinate the vice president. Yet it was the female candidate that America considered a priori too "volatile".

> I thought only ~8% of women had abortions, but in looking it up while writing this comment apparently it's more like 25% (so abortion & related issues affect way more women/girls than I expected).

As with rape, the number of women who have abortions and the number of women who report abortions are quite different. That number is going to diverge even more now that it's illegal and criminalized in many jurisdictions.
Most people instinctively hate things that are truly new or different or generally stand out. It may be due to cognitive limitations or maybe just common instinct.

That's why the conclusion of the article doesn't work. You can't sell anything that's truly new or different. I think that the only way trends change is when so many people have tried that the herd has basically migrated to that new position accidentally inch-by-inch. It will trample all of the people leading the way and deny that they existed.
Damn, I don't have epilepsy issues but that screen-filling flickering animation is making me feel sick regardless. Or it would have if 40% of it weren't blocked by multiple popups.
The more you argue with it the more it will dig in - because you've got a whole chat priming it to argue.

Try starting a new conversation and taking a different approach from the beginning, and try to prime it from the beginning to put it in the context that you're looking for.

As someone who spent a lot of time playing with VB6 as a kid, Gambas is an amazing throwback. It feels like the VB6 I remember, even though my memories are vague and tinted with nostalgia.

In other words, it's not a perfect recreation of VB6 -- it's even better, because it includes a lot of modern conveniences that make it feel more comfortable to use. The IDE feels surprisingly polished and, while the language is definitely still BASIC, it has some nice enhancements that make it feel a bit less clunky IMO.

I'm probably not going to implement anything important in it, but it's a fun way to relive my VB6 nostalgia when I'm in the mood for it.
Ah! I see, I guess I read the original comment wrong. I read "oil and gas" too broadly, and as such I was off topic in my reply. I knew, that e.g., natural gas is used for energy extensively in the U.S., but I guess that wasn't the "gas" they were talking about. And either way, like you say, I would be wrong.

And further to your point (or maybe, reading between the lines of your point): its not like there is just one or two big nonrenewable energy companies that do petroleum, and coal, and natural gas, etc. We must understand how those are all competing for profits! And that while EVs might use coal, it doesn't mean their existence wont hurt the petroleum companies. Got it, and thank you :)

I'm concerned that there's no group of actors who value safety over self-interest with enough power to implement a ban, and the key actors have immediately shown themselves to be compromised.

It seems the key actors with control of the technology and resources to develop the technology are being absorbed by capitalistic institutions, with interests in safety compromised by profit motive. In a game-theory sense, to voluntarily implement the ban would be suicide.

States are concerned that other states will gain access to AGI with decision making power (most likely) gain a competitive advantage, with an outside chance of a nuclear moment - an AGI singularity under state control. Other states cannot be relied on to cooperate in the current global environment, there is risk to not remaining competitive in AI.

I'm not seeing the dynamics which allow this ban to actually occur. How could it be made to happen? Who needs to meet, and what needs to be agreed upon?

1) Is this what was referred to in the movie "The Menu" where they were taking the tour in the beginning and talking about the 152 day aging process for meat, but the 153rd day would bring chaos?

2) Why is there such a precise known number for that issue? Don't bacteria grow differently? It just seems odd that 152 days would definitely be ok and 153 days would definitely kill.
"The Invisible Hours" is pretty close to that. You can't interact with it, but you can freely explore what is happening while all the characters do their own thing. It's basically a theater play that is spread around a whole house.

"The Last Express" for an earlier non-VR example, this one is a bit closer to a regular adventure game, but the events in it still play out in realtime without the other characters waiting around for the player to do something.

Hmm, I was going to write something that disagreed, but I do see a point there. Although you left out some of the connections and it's not specifically what we're talking about. I'm not sure that it was this article, but a different one mentioned that the self harm and suicides were 2x-3x higher for LGBTQ teens. Basically, we're seeing a much higher rate in one subgroup which could account for the bulk of the increase as their representation in the overall group rises.

So I can see the pressures associated with acceptance or challenges of LGBTQ teens as a possible increase as they make up an increasing part of that demographic. However, I don't think that gender roles specifically play a part since more things are continuously becoming available and accepted regardless of gender.

> There's a very clear moral line that it's wrong to help them to launder money and evade sanctions, even if it weren't illegal.

This is practically the definition of a grey area, not a clear moral line.

No, North Korea is a group of 25 million people, most of whom are just regular people like you and me.

They are led by a brutal dictatorship but sanctions affect everyone in NK, not just the leadership.

Economic warfare is still warfare and not morally clear at all.
The volume inside the event horizon isn't what you would expect if you consider the black hole as a sphere with its external area, but it has a volume. It might be the case that in quantum gravity there isn't an interior, but in GR the idea of the volume is a little weird, but not problematic.

You didn’t mention how to gather high quality data. OpenAI has never and will never release that.
I have a small one-man business handing registrations for juryed art shows (think white pop-up tents in the park full of artists selling things) that's called The Online Jurying System at http://ojs.biz. I built it on CakePHP, PHP, MySQL and VestaCP hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet.

It's currently using PayPal to handle the credit card payments but I'm in the process of adding an option to use Stripe.

The accounting is pretty simple, I keep a portion of the artists registration fee and the art show gets the rest effectively making it 'free' to the art show itself.

«When Dean Buonomano, a neuroscientist at U.C.L.A., asked GPT-4 “What is the third word of this sentence?,” the answer was “third.” These examples may seem trivial, but the cognitive scientist Gary Marcus wrote on Twitter that “I cannot imagine how we are supposed to achieve ethical and safety ‘alignment’ with a system that cannot understand the word ‘third’ even [with] billions of training examples.”»

The word "third" in the sentence was indeed "third", in a self referencing way. If anything, this tells us that our natural language is super ambiguous.

We're so readily available to criticize an AI that we are unable to question our own reasoning?

The amusing point of all this average-ness is that every once in awhile a company does a wild rebrand that tries to set them apart from their competition.

Then, of course, everybody else shifts their rebrand the same direction and we end up with all the same new normal (e.g. Wise — https://wise.com/community/en/brand-new-look)

And the only consequences that extreme would end up harming the cooperating parties too. For example, would anyone go to war over this?

We have seemingly moved past mutually assured destruction and now we are in a world of mutually assured cooperation.

> which strengthens their allegation that the underlying sex might be an important factor to consider in these scenarios.

"Underlying sex" isn't a particularly coherent concept to begin with. By what potential mechanism could "underlying sex" influence behaviour, other than hormonally?

Lacking an answer to this question doesn't mean we should rule out the possibility while investigating, but we shouldn't take too much heed of the possibility until we have a reason to believe it. «"Excess male violence in prisons" problem is a consequence of the patriarchy» is a concise explanation, introducing no additional entities or mechanisms, consistent with the observations mentioned in this thread, and… well, as far as I'm aware, it's the mainstream feminist position on this matter.

I've had thoughts like that, on occasion. Unfortunately, segregationist policies are a much more politically feasible approach than anything like what you're proposing, and I don't think that will change any time soon. How to segregate is the question: whether to segregate is a pretty radical question to be asking.

I don't think your proposal is quite perfect, but it's a start.

For what it's worth, this is a relatively easy problem to solve with flexbox these days.

My advice for those who constantly complain about CSS: give it the respect you give things like programming languages or SQL. You're not just understanding a text file, you're understanding the way browsers interpret and render styles. You probably need an expert to "just do what you want to do", and if you don't have an expert available you'll need to make do. Just like anything other sufficiently complex development problem.
