You mean sort of attention to context and nuance that wasn't part of the conversation when we were talking about other economic systems?

For a people who won the cold war y'all are very defensive about this whole thing lol. Like the slightest acknowledgement that this system also sucks for a lot of people means we're headed straight for the gulags again.

Agreed - the issue is the false dichotomy implied by suggesting that commuting itself is the answer. I think that it would be much more honest to opine that DESPITE the tolls on our health and time, in-office work provided a social and personal structure that had its benefits, and that many people struggle to replicate those structures in their newly-isolated personal lives.

It's not like commuting is hard-coded into our DNA. Over the past 60ish years commuting slowly changed a lot of things about modern life, and taking it away suddenly revealed a lot of those. But that doesn't mean that commuting is, itself, the answer to our social or motivational desires.
I'll be 60 in a few months and looking back I've tended to think that anxiety has been the main thing that held me back in my career, but I can also relate to the post above where they say they do great in the early days of a job/project, but as time goes on find it more and more difficult to stay engaged. I guess I would think this is caused by anxiety in my case, but now I'm wondering if maybe there isn't more going on. I also got mixed results in school: gifted in subjects I liked, average/below averages performance in subjects I didn't care much about. So maybe there's always been a bit of an issue, but I also tend to think that it's much worse since the advent of smart phones - I think there may be a lot of us who were either not ADHD or just on the edge of being ADHD that have been pushed over the edge by being constantly connected.
Curious how did they extract value?
I mean… just here in this comment section are suggestions for suppliers of premium LEDs that I would trust based on the karma rating of the people who posted the links.

Googling for “premium LED high ratings 95 cri” or searching on Amazon definitely isn’t going to work, because they will just send you to the highest bidder, or the most proficient scammer.

Not to speak of the mountain of good from both organizations. I dont think the EFF has ever said something I disagree with.
Consumers, or businesses, making choices (A) is a poor analog to species flourishing or going extinct (B).

B may suggest something about A, but the converse is not true at all.
If you have two products where one lists a metric proudly and the other doesn't, I think most consumers would choose the one with the metric.
Yeah, operating a free service and "limiting bots and fake accounts" are pretty incompatible.

I didn't think "I'm going to fix bots" meant "I'm going to really limit free access" but it's a coherent approach, at least.

I just don't think a paid Twitter will be as valuable as it was. Competing with free is really hard; I'm not sure Mastodon is that competitor, but I bet there will be something.
> are flicker free to my eyes

Very rarely will bulbs visibly flicker in my experience. What happens instead is after several hours I'll start to get headaches and feel fatigue without knowing exactly where it's coming from. Since I replaced my Hue bulbs (which flicker, and I proved it by just using my smartphone camera even) I've felt so much better at home

You can call it reputation management. They can provide access to good investors, because investor know they are not selling lemons.

For example, if YC has a strict rule about inflating the startup users only up to 20%, and then everyone will inflate them 20%-25% and investors will pay only the the 50% because they never know how much the number are inflated.
I'm sorry, but to me you mostly just sound like an audiophile talking about how vinyl sounds better than CDs...
The free tier looks great to me. Lets you make little personal use bots and joke automations.

And if you want something for a wider audience, you have to charge your users.
Same here. I have a 10 year old Panasonic plasma that still works great. I have it hooked up to an Apple TV. In fact, I prefer this setup to newer smart TVs that have tracking and phone home features built in.
SwissMap: A Golang Port of SwissTable
Few details on our approach:

Step 1 - Use the visualisation functionalities (ex: UMAP for BERT embeddings) to qualitatively assess the distribution shifts happening.

From here, we saw that Dialogsum & Samsum datasets indeed belong to two different clusters and we can expect performance degradation due to data drift.

Step 2 - Use statistical techniques to identify clusters near few low-performing samples (samples selected by us) and find data-points belonging to them.

Interestingly, this gave us a nice collection of low-performing datapoints (accuracy ~ 40% lower than that on whole dataset). Upon manually inspecting, we saw some interesting behaviours around model failures which we will use to generate retraining datasets

Step 3 - Use UpTrain's Custom Signal interface to define rules for collecting edge-cases. We defined two rules:

1. We saw model outputs incomplete summaries when input text length is too long. Hence, we defined a rule on number of words in the input conversation.

2. In many cases, we saw model selects one or two sentences from the conversation as the summary. This works well generally but fails miserably when the conversation is all about negating those sentences. We defined a rule for the same.

Step 4 - We also wanted to check if we can detect a shift in the vocabulary between the two datasets and defined a custom monitor for the same. (Interestingly we saw higher occurrences of words related to Asia in the dialogsum dataset). Similar monitors can be designed to identify newer topics, sentiments, tone of voice, etc.

Would love you to play around with the tool and provide your feedback!
So memory based learning but implemented with neural language models?
The most important privacy consideration is who gets to see this data. If you just use it internally and not share it with 3rd parties, then you are already ahead 99% of the businesses in terms of privacy.

To keep the data for yourself, it's best to use a self-hosted analytics platform. Most of them also allow for more granular settings, where you can set exactly which data is stored and how.
I'm talking design, not code, lol...
I think bevy is a much more ambitious 'total' framework for making games. Plus, I think by its nature Rust forces you to deal with the really hard questions up front, and get them right first time. In C++ you can punt some of these questions and build a less-than-perfect architecture more quickly. Please don't think I'm disparaging C++, I develop in it for my day job. But I do think there are different trade-offs at different stages of a project's lifetime.
Nowadays the situation is better, but for years after incandescents were banned in California, the only LED bulbs available in stores had a huge spike in the blue part of the spectrum, which I experienced as painful and now know probably caused the death of some of the cones in my retina through oxidative stress.

(I am over 60 and have some health problems that chronically elevate my levels of oxidative stress -- in all cell types, though the light-detecting cells in the retina are more vulnerable than other types of cells are.)

I.e., I wanted to buy an LED that vaguely approximated a 2700K incandescent, tried many brands, but could not find one, so I don't know what you are on about.

Bright blue light will make a brain more alert -- and the effect is immediate. That is probably why you young people like it, but I am baffled by your "a color temperature of only 2700K is often chosen" (not that color temperature is a useful way of summarizing the spectrum of and LED bulb).
Automated, remote commanded weapons exist already and development is happening quite rapidly on more. Automated where the whole realm of physical manipulation is not automated under AI control, but enforcement largely is through combat drones coordinated by AI is not far from being achievable.

And it doesn’t need to even be totally that to be a problem, each incremental bit of progress that reduces the number of people required to apply power over any given size subject population makes tyranny more sustainable.
> The worry is that AI like GPT will just exacerbate modern human exploitation

The worry should be human exploitation - exacerbated or not
Thanks for calling these things out. I didn't see at first glance how language models could be disruptive in these fashions. I am doing research for an article on the decline of civilization. I think that this topic could be a partly related to this topic. Any resources you can point to will probably help all of us.
Unfortunately its not very good at longer context lengths, which sort of defeats the point of efficient scaling with context. See https://twitter.com/arankomatsuzaki/status/16390003799784038...

Its also not really an RNN. The best way to describe the key time mixing operation is a normalized exponentially weighted moving average (EMA)- no non-linearity. Once viewed this way, its not surprising that it struggles at longer contexts- everything decays, and it has limited space to put things. Of course, it does have some clever tricks, and can choose to remember things for a while by upweighting them, but not forever.
Yeah, pretty much.

That came off as more accusatory than I intended. I am not implying a conspiracy/skepticism, but I really thought VICE (for instance) would pick this up before 6 days.
I'm not familiar with Twitter or its API, but are ads also returned via the API?

If not, then it would be more profitable for them to heavily restrict API access, and kill off 3rd party clients, so that more people would use the official clients where ads are actually shown.

I.e. they don't care about heavy users if they can't make a profit from them.
OpenAI is training on data that is against their terms of use? That reads like a serious allegation. What is this all about?
The claim was that Twitter would experience some kind of total collapse- that Musk had no choice but to capitulate to demands of a disgruntled work force, many of whom were incensed that the platform would no long actively censor the speech of huge numbers of people.

As it turns out Musk mostly didn't need them, and firing them didn't harm his interests to any tangible degree.
> I was not allowed to meet people in large groups until April (after the batch).

I don't understand this. Why would they stop people talking to each other?
It makes sense if we assume that the API’s change in performance was deliberate.
> We are also able to limit who can do what by requiring formal education and licenses for all kinds of professions.

I agree with your take for the most part, however cautiously more optimistic about this. Removing the barrier of entry for most thing will lead to more people be able to contribute in professions that they otherwise would not have the know how to do.

This will lead to more good things than bad things I think, but we seemingly only focus on the bad extremes and assuming everything else is the same.

Modern Javascript has reduced the barrier of entry to software development. It has had an massive impact on the industry and with an influx of people which leads to the industry seeing more and more creative solutions, as well as some really wild ones.

Maybe I'm terribly naive, but I think we seriously underestimates how many people wants change -- just missing the push to spring into action. For some the moment is about to arrive, for others it will come later.
This is misinterpreted, he calls for an international treaty backed by military. One sees what he wants to see.
Languages and with some sort of decent metaprogramming support can alleviate this sort of issue (see Zig, Julia, Jai, etc.)
This is awesome! Great job!!!
The worry is human exploitation; exacerbating it, however, exacerbates the concern.
Wow. I clicked the link and then stubbed my toe shortly after. I guess this is the twitter elon wants huh…
Chat with GPT-4 and Save Prompts/Responses to Git
A person I follow on Twitter tweeted:

Is there a git/version control for prompts? I hate losing great prompts and I’d love to be able to iterate on them.
> In double blind trials or audiophile I can hear the gold plating sort of way?

I think this type of comparison with espresso is comparing the differences of far different orders of magnitude. i.e. Impact of a bad grinder, poor bean distribution, or tamping force is orders of magnitude larger than the difference cable connectors makes. The difference in the end result is also (and I'm committing audiophile heresy according to some) far more apparent with espresso.

A funny thing my power electronics TA pointed out at a lab class was that, while incandescents radiate heat and waste a lot of power to just heat the space below them, we still need to heat our classrooms. When the university went from incandescent to fluorescent and, later LED lighting, the only thing that changed was the power usage shifting from lighting to heating.
Granted, heating can be more efficient when handled by the systems designed to heat, not to illuminate, but at the scale of a reasonably big, cold-war era building with moderately inappropriate insulation, the gain in efficiency is minuscule.
It all made me think that we're solving a lot of problems by shifting the issue away from us, in this case from the bulbs to the radiators. It's comparable to EVs in my opinion: "if we take all the pollution and put it in SE Asia, we can cargo cult ourselves into thinking that driving that 20yo beater is worse than generating new waste"
It is more local than talking to chat GPT directly. Open AI stores all your requests on their server. This saves it on your computer. The title also claims it's a UI which always, for now, runs locally.
> Now, with a 500k deal, the amount is more substantial, but in turn, its terms are not super funder-friendly. Imho, the previous 125k deal was better for the founders since once the company gets accepted to YC it can raise easily a lot more money and on better terms.

Wait, the additional $375k is an uncapped SAFE. How could a company “easily raise at better terms”?
The front page image is bothering me: are they really placing shells inside plastic nets? Aren't nets a big pollutant?
As a human creation I think it might be easy to align AI: as in fabricate their environment to optimise for that. Currently their environment is loss function. The problem will be when they will start interacting with our environment (so some kind of RL or ability to change own goals).

The only trick is that people have all those jailbreaks that could convince it that its helping while doing wrong. But of it was truly superior intellectually it shouldn’t fall for it.
Look at the fixtures you're putting them in and consider if they're getting adequate cooling. If your average "long lasting" (they all claim this, but not at what temperature...) LED bulb is uncomfortably hot to touch, it's on the fast track to failure.
Right, but I do think you can "own" (by which I mean our societally-mediated legal definition of ownership in the anglosphere) specific sequences of text or at least the right to copy them?
Yeah, my point exactly
They're relatively common in SF, and increasingly common in LA for 4-5 unit apartment->ownership conversions. While they're weird for owners, they're attractive for small-time developers. Conversion to actual condo ownership is subject to regulation, and pretty tightly controlled by the city, but conversion to TiC requires basically no approval for builds with few (~5) units.

They're pretty attractively priced too, since they can be done so quickly, and because owning a 1/4 undivided share of 4 apartments, with exclusive use of one apartment guaranteed only by the strength of whatever contract a small-time developer can get drawn up requires some ... convincing
I'm fuzzy on details but I remember reading it had some pretty crazy thermal expansion. I think the pilot had to wait quite a while (hours?) before opening the cockpit to give the plane time to cool enough.
This is sort of like pipelining in computer processors. As humans have quite a lot of latency, we make up for it by speculating what will happen in the short future with our experiences. This may also explain why people act irrationally for stressful situations or avoiding dangers and risks.
This is why I read this site.

Most surprising quote to me was this: If you have some kind of b2c or Enterprise business, all you will get is a knowledge exchange with homies. YC does not have any industrial partners, and YC partners themselves will not do external intros since this is a big part of other accelerators' pitch. Obviously YC can't compete with vertical-focused accelerators for depth of industry knowledge and day-to-day access to corporate sponsors, but knowing when and who and how to approach is one of the biggest challenges for an early stage startup and one where I'd assume YC's network was big enough to add value (beyond a list of companies to send cold emails to indiscriminately)
It's also cool that the whole thing was machined 'loose' so that it would expand as it heated up. Apparently the plane would leak fuel and oil when it was on the ground ...
Remote since 2016 . 20+ years in software. Single father with full custody of 2 kids who were 13 and 8 when i went 100% Remote. Its a Godsend . When I don't have my kids, I travel and work in exotic places (digital nomading) where I can have a jet set social life. This limits corporate ascension but I think its worth it. Find time to exercise and do projects on the side. Given this, I still pull late nighters to get stuff done at work. Can't imagine giving up this life for a 2 hour commute and becomming a renter in some tech hub. But, I have many contemporaries who have higher status jobs than me in the industry, so I guess there is that.

This has always been the case. The difference now is that with the internet it's within reach.

You don't have to dig through your social network to find someone working for the lighting division of GE. You don't have to visit your local library to check out books on how lightbulbs work in order to figure out which makes one better than another. You just need to hop on Google or ask New Bing.

--

Think all incandescent bulbs were the same? Think again. Manufacturing conditions and filament thickness are two of the several factors involved in how long that lightbulb will last and how bright it will get. Cheap, shitty lightbulbs from discount stores were a thing.

Oh, and one more thing! You're pretty much stuck with one color temperature.

--

There are plenty of examples throughout the 20th century of poorly-made, barely-working tech being sold as acceptable. The plethora of non-electric "vacuum cleaners" sold around the turn of the century are one notable early example. The lightbulbs which came after the agreements made by the Phoebus Cartel are another.

1978! Home video! Do you go with VHS from JVC, Betamax from Sony, SelectaVision from RCA, or DiscoVision from MCA?

For an entertaining diversion, imagine you're living in 1973 and it's time to purchase a new car. Is that Plymouth really going to hold up against your new concerns about gas mileage? How do you know? Do you have any mechanic friends? Do you know anything about how cars work? Does the local library have any books to help?

Random final tidbit: The "older"=="better" myth is the result of the fact that we're not exposed to the junk of yesteryear; only the good stuff. The junk was thrown away years and years ago.
Surely, TikTok's or other Social Media company algorithms could be tricked into provoking cult-like affiliations, even if they didn't actively promote it. And SM actively promoting informed opinions over cult-like affiliations is probably not their goal

You can try that out with your friends. Get two or three of them, stand in a circle, facing each other, and start making "MMM" or "AAAAH" sounds, trying to "find" each other in tone and pitch. When you manage to tune in to the group sound, it will sound as loud as a brass orchestra.

Speaking from experience. Although it works better with male singers (because louder voices).

They produce great light at the temperature you want and I’ve yet to have one fail after nearly 10 years using them.

Not cheap, but given I’ve never had to replace one maybe in the end they are
For reference, a candle has a color temperature around ~1800K (with some spots of the candle emitting ~2600K)...

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Candle-shows-different-c...

I'd imagine that the "warm" color temperature is modeled after candle and gas lighting but after reading some articles on the history of light bulbs it seems that all the folks working on it were trying to make the brightest, whitest light they possibly could. Today's "daylight" bulbs would probably be perceived as an engineering wonder by those folks.
