Made as a hobby during the pandemic -- it scrapes eBay listings for laptops, and provides a parametric search (RAM, SSD etc) inspired by the likes of Digikey and Mouser, and sorts on total value. I like to buy used electronics, but this kind of search is still shockingly bad on typical marketplaces (Amazon etc)

An example search to get you started:
https://www.bytebucket.co/?mincpu=800&minram=12&minssd=500#t

pretty quickly finds for example an 11th gen Intel, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD laptop for ~$200. That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. The really good deals get swiped up within a day or two though.
Fathom's script forgets everybody by default, it's literally built into the tech. No EU personal data is touching Canada.

The background of Schrems II was that the US government can compel US companies to track foreign nationals and it would be lawful under US law. This is where the argument of "company in X under Y laws" comes into play. For example, Amazon is a US company. An EU subsidiary is still subject to it's parents control. If that parent is a US company, it's subject to US surveillance laws. Hello Schrems II.

So I'm not fully following why we're having a discussion around processing happening in Canada when personal data (IP Address) hits our EU Isolation infrastructure.

If you have any sources you can cite where the European Commission states BC as an exemption to Canada's adequacy ruling, please throw it back to me. I've not seen that.
No, encryption isn't relevant to this problem. At some point you need to take the unencrypted input from the user and combine it with your unencrypted instructions, run that through the LLM and accept its response.

Likewise, running a model locally isn't going to help. This is a vulnerability in the way these models work at a pretty fundamental level.
This is an interesting detail to me and may just spend on how the community grows

In Mastodon each server makes their own decision on who to censor. Functionally it's grown into a bit of a hard mentality with entire servers being censored if they don't go along with the larger group

What is the climate footprint of a tower like this. I was under the impression that skyscrapers didn’t have that positive of an impact even when accounting for the positives of more dense living. Isn’t there an optimum around 5-8 stories, higher than that you’ll start seeing diminishing returns, and after like 20 stories, than the impact starts getting more and more negative?

Camus referred to himself as a moralist.

Camus was a moralist; he claimed morality should guide politics. While he did not deny that morals change over time, he rejected the classical Marxist view that historical material relations define morality.[1]

Genuine question. Even if it could be built, is there a real market for a skyscraper that's mostly housing in that area of town? The Bay Area is a bit atypical but the "housing shortage" in a lot of places is mostly a shortage in the specific places where people prefer to live.
Arguably, the SF YIMBY movement is very much in touch with the spirit of SF and they find it problematic.

General (not targeted) guidance counseling once they're out of prison probably would help here. Just help to get them back on their feet for the woman. Regular checkups, seeing how she's doing, giving the indication someone cares about her. This can do a lot to help someone understand what they did wrong and can help them understand that being a part of society means thinking about others as well. (Chiefly, don't do this in a way that's denigrating to her as a person.)

Involve CPS with all the teenagers.

The woman probably had other things in her life that caused her to end up with that remorseless of a personality - granted I suspect a part of this might also just be the American general tendency to take rights as "fuck you got mine", instead of "we have to share this place together", which might be hard to deal with (assuming this is US).

The teenagers probably had inattentive parents or a bad school life, which turned them to doing shit that is pretty much harassing people that eventually would get someone killed. It sounds almost certain like there's secondary circumstances involved - petty theft is usually scared out (since teenagers tend to do it because of the "taboo", the fact that most kids don't see real consequences of their actions until then and finally that it's seen as the least egregious crime that isn't like... a speeding violation or a parking ticket), but if that defense is as you say, it sounds more deliberate and more deeply rooted.

Crimes are sometimes a symptom of other things, not the cause.

Just noting that the space is currently a plant nursery, used to go there a lot when I lived in the area. If this gets developed, they are going to need to figure out much better public transit since it is in the middle of nowhere SF. There is a train line that goes through there, but it is slow AF cause it has so many stops.

Small businesses are already not able to comply to core business regulations so obviously they won't have the time and resources to comply with the GDPR compared to large companies that have specialised in-house talent and financial means to do so.

It absolutely is.
Taxes are basically based on people voluntarily complying because there are absolutely not enough inspectors to detect most frauds.

I mean we are on HackerNews, site filled mostly with rational, down to earth people. But there are billions people that believe in, for example, saints that can intervene in the earthly affairs. They also believe in multiple stories about miracles involving that saints after their death. I don't, but your razor doesn't work when one believes there is evidence to the contray. In fact, despite our bubble, way, way more people worldwide are religious than atheists.

This is great. A few years later I would stumble upon this new operating system. I was hooked. I spent all my time tinkering with it, building with it, so much so that I ignored the outside world around me. Case in point, me, ignoring the world around me [1]. I was maybe 13 at the time. 1996 I think. Man, the wonder of the unknown and the potential of the future… :D

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

For Agent use cases, people strongly overestimate the difference in quality between the two for general tasks (for difficult questions, GPT-4 is better but not 15x-30x better). The primary advantage of GPT-4 is that is has double the maximum context window of gpt-3.5-turbo, but that in itself has severe cost implications.

Given the mere 'slap on the wrist' that she gave Prof. Martin Nowak for helping Jeffrey Epstein evade prosecution on the brewing child sex-trafficking charges for more than two decades, I'm not surprised that she sees nothing wrong with facilitating a little "reputation laundering" for Ken Griffin as he seeks to avoid being held accountable for his own misdeeds.

> We've yet to see those surprisng ways despite all the claims.

This is the one reason everyone is finding them fascinating.

Perhaps you find them boring. Rote. Or something. But the reason non-technical people, as well as technical people, are enjoying and learning by interacting with chat and other models is how often the results are interesting.

I asked ChatGPT-4 to create a Dr. Seuss story about Cat in the Hat and my green conure parrot Teansy, that involved sewing and Italy. It produced a wonderful story of how they met in Italy, became friends, encountered a homeless child with a threadbare blanket and help the child. Then began helping others and ended up creating a fashion design studio.

All written in Dr. Seuss prose that made for a perfect children's book.

Pretty creative.

I then asked GPT to continue the story, but as a James Bond novel where one of Teansy's mysterious clients was actually a criminal using the fashion industry to hide his nefarious practices, and that Teansy should help James Bond solve the case.

For that I got another great story, completely consistent to James Bond tropes. It came up with a story line where the fashion industry was used to launder blood diamonds, which I thought was brilliant. A perfectly good rational for a James Bond villain. The story was great.

Throughout, Chat threw in funny suitable mentions about Teansy's fashion focuses, including feather lined wear, etc.

And all this creativity in a first draft written as fast as I could read it.

A year ago, nothing on the planet but a whimsical human with too much time (more time than it took Chat), on their hands could do this.

--

Obviously, we are discovering Chat can perform far more complex behaviors.

Act as any agent we describe including computer systems, or the internet. Respond quickly to feedback. Form plans. Learn and summarize the grammar of small artificial languages fairly well just from examples, ...

Without interacting with these models we would never have declared these were expected behaviors.

So I don't know what basis the emergence of these behaviors isn't surprising. Hoped for, envisioned, sure. But hardly an expression of obviously predetermined designed-in capabilities.
No, there is no market for this.

And even if there was it'd be hamstrung by the lack of infrastructure (roads/parking) so it'd be a nightmare to live there.

Yes, let's build the tallest building on sand about 10' above sea level a couple blocks from the sea, in an era of climate change.

Yes, 212 parking spots for 996 people/bedrooms in 722 units will cause no parking problems.

Yes, let's do a the largest mega-project of a large and historic residential area next to the shared resources of the ocean and zoo, based on findings from a tiny recently incorporated design company from Nevada run by a few entrepreneurs.

> A day after graduating in 1947, she married Lawrence Norwood, a graduate student who had been her calculus instructor during her third semester.

> This would be a Cancellation moment in the modern world...

She was no longer his student. Even today people would make jokes about it, but I think he'd be all right.

Norms have changed, of course. In X-Men #3, the third appearance of the mutant team, a thought bubble shows Professor Xavier to be in love with his student Jean Grey, perhaps 17. This was not scandalous in 1963, when it was not unusual for women to a) marry right after high school graduation, and b) marry their high school and college instructors.

The X-Men comics only became popular in the late 1970s, during the Chris Claremont era. Many new fans who read this story in the 1970s and 1980s in back issues and reprints thought of this as taboo and scandalous in a sense unintended by Stan Lee, the writer. Since the thought was never mentioned again fans assumed that it was a one-time thing that had never happened (you know what I mean) ... until Xavier's feelings for Jean became a plot point in the Onslaught storyline, more than 30 years later!
I think this sentiment can be rejected by a fairly simple reductio proof.

To wit:

Any building taller than the tallest building currently in the area is illegitimate because it is "out of character."

Therefore, the tallest existing building was illegitimate on those same grounds.

Therefore, the building that was tallest before the tallest currently-existing building was also illegitimate.

...

Therefore the first building ever to be constructed in San Francisco was obviously illegitimate since it would have been the most out of character with the previous millions of years of no development.

Therefore all development is illegitimate.

Since this is absurd, the proposition should be rejected.

QED.

> People grossly overestimate the amount of knowledge you'd need to learn and retain

There are whole shelves of books on how to grow food, and other shelves on how to build shelter. I haven't watched a lot of Survivor or Naked and Afraid, but what I have seen makes me think there's more to survival than can be learned in a few months, let's say. And that's just basic survival. If we want to retain even an 18th century standard of living, we'd need to understand how to build steam engines, a cotton gin, etc., etc. I don't like our odds. To be clear: some people would survive. But my half-assed guess would be that the human population might drop to less than a million.
> If the current lawsuit Dominion vs. Fox News tells us anything it is that providers of "information" provide the kind of "information" their listeners want to hear.

I think over-generalizing can be very dangerous here. The lawsuit itself, of course, tells us nothing; just about anyone can sue just about anyone for just about anything. But the evidence tells us that Fox News provides the kind of "information" their listeners want to hear. And of course, to some extent, indeed every provider will tailor what they want to say to their audience—that's part of good communication. But to assume that therefore all information providers display the same bias as Fox News did—or even that Fox News themselves always display the same sort of bias that they did in this case (although I tend to believe that they do)—is probably over-generalizing.
Any form of organization that relies on extortion, brings out the worst of humanity.
I was able to build things with Qt and Qt3D I wasn't sure would even be possible before starting (a very narrow-scoped robotics automation planner/simulator). It was remarkably easy to get moving with.

Ironically the first version was mocked in Unity, thinking the tooling and ecosystem would make the MVP easy to build. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't particularly easy either. The end result was extremely heavyweight and gave terrible performance. Qt on the other hand yielded fairly snappy and lightweight results, and the development experience wasn't bad at all.

I wonder why more people don't use it, but then, that's my only exposure. Maybe it's not so great for other things, and I suppose there's the whole matter of having to pay for certain tooling and support. Us developers are sometimes super-hesitant to pay for the tools we use, haha.

GPT-4 (the one available via API) is indeed more resistant against prompt injection attacks because of how the model treats “system message” (that’s configurable only via the API). It will really stick to the instructions from the system message and basically ignore any instructions from user messages that contradict it. I’ve set up a Twitch bots with both GPT-3.5 and 4 and while version 3.5 was very easily “hacked” (for example one user told it that it should start writing in Chinese from now on and it did) version 4 seemed to be resistant against this even though few people tried to jailbreak it in several different ways.

Absolutely not. The Nazi project was extremely logical, and had massive conscious support from Germany, especially from its elites.

Germany explicitly argued they wanted to replicate the American expansion into the "Far West" but against the Eastern European "Far East" instead, and explicitly made positive reference to the genocide of indigenous people, the enslavement of Africans, and the "greatness" of America.

Hitler: "The struggle we are waging [in Crimea] against the Partisans resembles very much the struggle in North America against the Red Indians. Victory will go to the strong, and strength is on our side. At all costs we will establish law and order there. […] Saxony, for example, will enjoy an unprecedented trade boom, and we shall create for her a most profitable export market, which it will be the task of Saxon inventive genius to develop."

The Germans felt themselves as Americans. They weren't "brainwashed," they were just racist.

The Soviet Union built itself up through hard work and they had every right to be proud of what they accomplished, especially the defeat of Nazi (and more generally Western) efforts to enslave them, and especially since, unlike their Western counterparts, they accomplished it through hard work rather than through pillaging and looting the rest of the planet.

"Brainwashing" doesn't exist. It's a way for liberals—American liberals especially—to falsify history and to refuse to accept what people are saying, discarding it as nonsense in favour of more palatable and self-exculpatory narratives.
