Practicing one's logic and epistemology in domains other than computing is good practice, and maybe good for the world since these shortcomings are involved in the majority of problems on Earth. Heck, if it was more common maybe a life could have been saved in this case!
The reason we know there is no mothership is because there is no increased funding to defense contractors, no reallocation of military resources, no perceived panic from politicians, etc.

> Death is a feature not a bug

> Yes, we should always leave death as an option. Conversation over.

Weird to say "no one said that" in the comment threat that literally opened with that line. "Death is a feature not a bug" means "we should make sure people continue to die." Then you seem to agree (that "yes" is rather out of place if you don't), but I admit to not being 100% clear on what you mean. Either way, it's absolutely not true that "no one" is demanding that I die of old age for the greater good. The originator of this comment thread is absolutely saying that, and he's not the only one.
What do they mean?

Is Ethereum itself an exchange or would a website like https://app.1inch.io be considered the exchange? Or would 1inch itself be the exchange and holders of 1INCH be responsible for it?

It makes little sense.
After the collapse of Silvergate and Signature, I say “let them have it”.

The crypto industry may be adept at moving across borders, but so are seasoned criminals. That shouldn’t automatically qualify them to operate with impunity. Millions of people lost savings in the wake of FTX, and we’re all just supposed to pretend that it was some singular, isolated incident?

Their name was on an NBA arena, they spent millions on celebrity endorsements and ads, and were touted among what many consider to be one of the top tier venture firms in the world. The SEC had every right do this.

Yes, but we have so many plans and actually many of them are unlimited. We also track data usage and can either add extra data package or a SIM card gets excluded from our proxy pool.

> ChatGPT API is gpt-3.5-turbo, GPT-4 API is GPT-4.

The OpenAI API has a "chat" endpoint, and on that you can pick between 3.5-turbo and 4 on the same API.

The ChatGPT web frontend app also lets you pick if you're a Plus subscriber.

I've seen this confusion in a few HN threads now, and it's not a good idea to use "ChatGPT API" as a stand-in for 3.5-turbo just because 3.5-turbo was what was available on the end point when OpenAI released a blog post using the term "ChatGPT API". That blog post is frozen in time, but the model is versioned, and the chat API orthogonal to the version.

"ChatGPT API" is a colloquial term for the chat stuff on the OpenAI API (vs. the models available under the text completions API), which offers both models. The only precise way to talk is to specify the version at this point.
> Imposing restrictions on other people's property led us to today's housing crisis.

there's many places with restrictions that have no such problems and many places with problems that have no such restrictions.

The correlation between those two things is in actual material, real world, non theoretical but real, reality is effectively zero

Don't worry. Soon governments will start pouring money into this field. They still won't be competitive, but at least there will be enough computing power to play with.
Love this aesthetic.

I suppose this dithering would decrease PNG file size somewhat, because it would increase the number of repeated pixel subsequences, improving the efficacy of the Huffman coding. But has anyone actually done an analysis of how much?

Isn't the danger is that there are not enough workers to aide an aging population at the same time there aren't enough consumers to feed growth and manufacturing changes that designed to turn out vast quantities of goods?

A labor/consumption imbalance. It would seem that we would need to make our manufacturing more elastic, retooling existing factories to be more dynamic in what and how they produce goods. Would be a good thing in general.

HK is a fairly mature financial sector (HSBC is literally HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) and is also well integrated into both Chinese and international financial systems, I would hardly call the competition “nonexistent.” HKD is probably the largest dollar peg.

The legal system also exists; it’s British-descended common law unless the CCP decides to use its authoritarian instinct.

This concept can work outside the context of a school, as various coffee shops and social gatherings are conducive to it. Doesn't have to be coffee, could be wine and cheese, beers from around the world, or other light offerings.

The "trick" to it, in regards to dating opportunities, is the place has to be quietly accepted as a "safe" hookup spot, as well as have a good setup for people to move around and talk to each other. What I mean by setup, is the design of the place. Like having lots of benches or chairs in a row or parallel to each other, not facing (can make people uncomfortable when approached by strangers) or far across from each other (which can cause yelling as hard for people to hear each other), where people can easily sit next to each other. It also must be accepted or encouraged by the staff, managers, or owners that people there, even though strangers, can approach and talk to each other. Bad behavior is not accepted, but polite talking is.

It's tricky, because women will avoid or condemn a place that gets a bad reputation (which is easy to create on social media), be it deserved or not. The place has to be considered safe, cheap, respectful, welcoming, and fun. The combination of such appears hard to get right, so can be hard to find. Places that are good for such socializing, can also be surprising and unexpected ones. And when people do find them, they tend to be quiet about them, to avoid it getting a bad reputation (which can ruin it).

Many places that seem like they could or should work for socializing or hookups, often are actually bad. Be it the design (separate tables that are far apart) or the environment that's created (talking to strangers discouraged). For instance, if those managing it or owners are overly protective or strict, then people may come just and only for say the coffee. No talking to others, drink up, then leave or be nearly completely absorbed into a computer or smartphone. The environment, which encourages and allows polite socializing, has to be created and maintained.
> Don't own it? You shouldn't get a say.

That's such an unattractive sentiment, blergh!

The larger your building, the higher your responsibility to your community. A building doesn't only sit on your lot, you're also inflicting it on your neighbors.

Anyway, large apartment building is fine, but if you make it big, then make sure it doesn't look like dreck.
I agree, you could solve this with modeling choices. Problem is, OpenAI spent $$$ on GPT which does not, and then more $$$ on InstructGPT’s datasets. So that’s a lot of $$$$$$.

I’m actually not sure you’ll get clear of every “sandbox violation” but probably most and especially the worst ones.
Works for me! Very much matches the MO I've been using as "JS is wild, ain't it great!," so I tend to agree with the shown perspective.

I also think a huge amount of these tend to be pretty typical conservative-developer overconcern (see Yegge's Notes From The Mystery Machine Bus https://gist.github.com/cornchz/3313150), governing yourself on fear, that is probably not really as fully warranted or deserved.

But I'm also a huge fan of wild & fun & diversity. I also love that we try & do other things, that programming languages are not a Last Man Standing situation, & that we have great technical ecosystems with caring trying folks finding new ways to move forward & progress like Elixer. I look forward to seeing what lessons there prove really valuable (and perhaps aping them)! It's a choice in JS world but I do use immutable.js, for example, and it's great & as described as an advantage above. Ditto for some fp tools, but often I will mutate & use effectual/imperative styles, I often find there are significant performance or understandabity wins.

I would say, yes, the cost of talking vs snarking may be real, but it doesn't have to be this large & well examined a list as you've madd. I don't like JS, the amount of dependencies terrifies me. I don't like JS, it's too fragmented. I'd rather use Elixer, I like having a good actor model underpinning my ecosystem. Sharing some sort of tidbit can help calibrate where a person is & turn destructive contagious negativity into healthy discourse.

I loved both - Battlefield Earth and Mission Earth. Still do. Sure it is not Fahrenheit 451 but I do not care. It provides lots of interesting reading.

It might be interesting to see this but with paths where they're instead weighted based on the strength of the relation (e.g., something like TF-idf on the articles each link to).

I think this would avoid the super common article problem, but also lead to more relation between each link.
The simplest explanation, by far, would be a deistic view of some sort or another from which questions of the meaning of life cycles immediately emerge.

A belief in natural emergence relies not only on endless untestable hypotheses, but even still results in the exact same sort of frustrating unanswerables. For instance if one believes that the initial matter, which would culminate in the Big Bang, whisked into existence through a quantum fluctuation, then it immediately leads to the question of what created this void, rich in quantum interactions, or the nature of quantum interactions themselves? And for that there's not even a hypothesis, untestable or not.

Maybe there will be one day, but also maybe not. To me the simplest answer is to simply acknowledge of our own inability to offer any compelling answer to this question. That's not to say an acceptance of such inability, but assuming the nature of a destination (one way or the other), in a journey we've yet to even scratch the surface of, seems neither simple nor wise.
>Sounds like you are not very familiar with SF.

>It's an easy drive south on the 101 to get to the rest of silicon valley, without the horrible traffic/congestion of downtown SF.

That sound is everyone who actually lived in SF laughing at you.

Anyone who claims that going by car from the Outer Sunset to 101 is an "easy drive ... without the horrible traffic/congestion of downtown SF" is a liar or a fool.
I think one tech founder stabbing another tech founder in the world's tech hub is definitely a tech related story.
I still don't get it. Why would you allow a random person to access an agent that has access to your emails? If the LLM has access to your data you have to limit access to that LLM just like limiting access to a database.

Edited to add: Or limit the data access the LLM has when the end user is not you.

Edited again: Thanks to the comments below, I now understand. With LLMs as the execution platform that both reads data in natural language and takes instructions in natural language, it becomes harder to separate instructions from data.
I am aware of the point the commentor was trying to make, and I disagreed with it.

While there is wisdom in that kind of innocence, in this case, the best we can say is that this gut check points to a course or action is right for you. However, it is inadequate for assessing whether it is right for anyone else, much less in an universal sense.

If we are going to make this about listening to intuition, then sometimes, that gut check — or in the case of those monks, it would be a heart check — the answer for them, in that moment, is “yes”.
Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.
Huh! I always read that as sticking out one's tongue.

Plenty of people are making money making art with AI.

There is a huge amount of work to do in creating training and evaluation sets for AI that requires elbow grease and critical thinking but no knowledge of programming, neural math, etc. For 15 years I’ve seen the lack of doing this work is the main gap between organizations that accomplish something with ML and those who don’t.

Thanks! Internally we use more sophisticated system required by larger scale to support higher volume and concurrent connections from multiple clients, but for smaller scale limited to one person or a small team, everything described on our blog should be enough.
ChatGPT must be given a sense of ethics, is what i extend to from here.
so we seem to be starting off with giving rightful attribution.

how far should that go? should an AI recognize that all data generated by human input, should be recognized as such, and derivations of data, are of automated artificial origin.

should an AI be allowed to learn what property rights are, and how to manage or physically effectuate them?
No. The knowledge cutoff is late 2021, and feedback isn't used directly in training.
You are calling a system where ~70% of people can make decisions about government representation a tyranny? When there are also codified hard limits of what the government can do to citizens as well?
Ok, so if we don't get off the planet in the next n-years, the whole thing collapses or ... we work with already occurring phenomena and ride the population curve down to get to the natural load carrying capacity of the planet WHILE we also become a multi-planet species.

Don't let your goal of "fully automated luxury gay space communism" force your risk curve into oblivion.
I’m ok with that.
A Neal Stephenson book named “Fall; or Dodge in Hell” explores this idea a bit.

It’s a worthwhile read.
I liked the novel as well. Been awhile, but if I recall the movie was only about half the book, and the second half was really interesting because it confronted the idea that "okay you threw off your oppressors, but we still Live In A (Galactic) Society", and it was neat to see the humans wrestle with that.

> catastrophical event erased them from the face of Earth together with all their knowledge.

This thought experiment seems to introduce a huge variable which eliminates what I think might be a key factor in what many readers believe to be the practice of science.

> what is the difference between them and any other closed community that performs scientific experiments?

That difference here, and the key factor, would be intent. The catastrophic event eliminates any meaning behind what they accomplished or practiced in regards to why they practiced science in the first place.

Practicing it behind closed doors may appear less like science for science's sake and more like, say, an economic pursuit that coincidentally involves the scientific method.

That could be why the conversation appears so split at the moment. It's hard to claim science is about intent or a long-term purpose that, were it removed, it would bar a scientific activity from actually being Science proper. That's a very subjective thing.
Wow. That's horrific.

I'm sorry you had to go through that as well.

That's awful care. I had a similar situation (not in my mouth, but on the nape of my neck. A sebaceous cyst that was infected and swollen.

This was only a couple years ago and I actually went to one of those "urgent care" centers. They took one look and said "nothing we can do, you should go to the emergency room." For which they charged my insurance company $1800 (of which I was billed ~$200 -- money those assholes will never get, I might add). So those folks aren't necessarily the best choice either.

So I did go to the emergency room and was ushered into an exam room within an hour. They did examine it and me and actually got the on-call resident from the surgery department to open it up and drain it.

It helped a lot, but they did a half-assed job and I had to go back for more cutting/draining. Even now, the sac that the sebaceous cyst grew from was not removed (GRRR!) and I will (probably this year) have it removed and the site closed up properly.

That's much better than your experience, but still not that good.

It was still a few thousand dollars, although my insurance paid most of it.

But whatever hospital you went to should be named and shamed, because they didn't do (provide adequate care) what they were supposed to (and billed for) do. That was awful and you have every right to be angry -- but it's almost certainly not worth legal action -- and more's the pity.

The bigger issue (IMHO) is less about quality of care (although as we've both experienced, that can be quite variable -- and that's certainly an issue) is the business model around health care in the US.

Which makes accessing health care and understanding the costs much more difficult than it should be.

I'm all for a single-payer system or, as they have in Germany (at least IIUC), private insurers that are non-profit by law.

Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen here -- as the insurance (and healthcare) lobby will push hard to maintain their profits -- sucking resources from the system that could instead be used to provide better care.

And the current model also encourages consolidation, which harms small communities the most (see this joke[0] for context), since there isn't a whole lot of profit to be made, and hospitals have expensive infrastructure requirements.

On his first day as a bus driver, Maxey Eckstein handed in receipts of $65.
The next day his take was $67. The third day's income was $62. But on the
fourth day, Eckstein emptied no less than $283 on the desk before the
cashier.

"Eckstein!" exclaimed the cashier. "This is fantastic. That
route never brought in money like this! What happened?"
"Well, after three days on that cockamamie route, I figured business would
never improve, so I drove over to Fourteenth Street and worked there.
I tell you, that street is a gold mine!"

Tinnitus is an interesting one to me. I've read so many of people's theories and anecdotes and have suffered myself for the last 11ish years.

The hearing system is complicated, we still don't know why tinnitus happens. The cochlear cannot be observed medically without destroying it (perilymph).

My running theory is our hearing synapses severe for numerous reasons. Concussion, viral infection, loud noises, jaw compression. But the most interesting to me is.... People that have ear wax build up and no obvious middle ear or inner ear trauma can develop tinnitus. I think there's a much bigger connection between the body, mind and cochlear than we think.

We've been focused on inner hair cell regeneration but a paper I read recently suggested hair cells have the ability to recover. The connection between these and the auditory nerve are disconnected potentially as a protection, why these aren't reestablished is a bit of an unknown.

The good news is there is research being done to regrow these synapses, some results in nice of course. The brain may need to relearn the connections. I have quite a firm believe it's these synapses that need therapeutics.

I do wish we threw more money into hearing, it's an essential sense to the world and loosing it has an detrimental impact on society. It's not fair people wake up with sudden deafness without explanation, or following a flu or vaccine etc.

My most successful side-project so far is a small service for launching preview environment (https://codepreview.io).

I have a couple of customers involved, receiving great feedback so far, unfortunately, it doesn't generate enough revenue yet and it is progressing very slowly (chicken-egg problem).

I believe we can scale the number of customers but it is hard to find the right balance between doing sales and feature improvements. For obvious reasons, I prioritize consulting hours that pay our bills.
I think people really forget that UFOs and aliens are only related because science fiction and pop culture.
