I think the title should say that, but they did so some (very very limited) human research:

>For proof of principle purposes, 5 co-authors of this report voluntarily took an intranasal spray of Ad5-S-Omicron that was prepared for clinical trial.

They then tested for immune response in "nasal lavage fluids," which apparently is the fluid collected after flushing out a test subject's nose with a saline solution, against the virus' spike and a psuedovirus. I don't know how the results in lavage fluids compares to similar neutralization studies they do for other kinds of vaccines, except that they also use psuedovirus sometimes.

In any times and any circumstances the only sustainable answer to your question is: whatever you feel you truly like, has value (to you personally) and has meaning. Not for commercial rewards, but in itself.

Assuming you have several interests like most people - choose the one to start from based on your intuition.

It’s as simple as that.

It’s dangerous to follow any more specific advice from anyone, they will never be in your shoes and nobody in this universe can predict the future.

But the future is created every day by billions of small decisions like this.
If we're playing who was first, BioNTech's mRNA vaccine was ready in the lab in January, right after COVID-19 was sequenced, and went into trials in April/May 2020. It's just they had to prove safety and efficacy (which to be clear, are paramount for a new medicine), along with scaling up production, before worldwide distribution.

Musk is the definition of reactive. Trying to appease someone like him goes nowhere well for anyone and sets everyone else back as ~~they're~~ (EDIT: he is) a de-facto bully and crybully. Best to let him have his tantrums.

I don't follow the situation closely enough but I distinctly remember seeing footage of lots of half finished housing developments abandoned in Ireland. Can't they be restarted? (Or have they been and gone already?)
KDE isn't just the desktop environment these days! (In fact, the DE part of KDE is now called Plasma Desktop.)

The KDE project contains many applications, including ones you may have used, like Krita or Kdenlive. I think KCacheGrind also fills a quite unique niche on Linux, namely GUI profiling tools. But there are also many that stay more within the KDE ecosystem, like Kate (which is a pretty decent text editor) or Dolphin (the KDE file manager, and probably the most featureful mainstream Linux file manager). A lot of these applications are also decently cross platform and work fine on for example Windows, and even Haiku.

Also, KDE Gear (as the application suite is called) integrates many things quite nicely. For example, their LaTeX editor Kile is basically just a glued-together version of Kate and Okular (the KDE document viewer), with some extra stuff to work with all the LaTeX stuff. It means you get all the features of both, like Kate's quite good Vi mode, or Okular's capability to trim a document's margins.

Of course, KDE would very likely refuse to take "Kwimp" under its umbrella because they already have Krita, but even if you're not on KDE there may be some worthwhile applications that do fall under their umbrella. (Just like GNOME Boxes is an excellent choice for beginner-friendly virtualization, even if you're not running GNOME.)
> but why does the presence of a mapping imply anything about the "size" of an infinity?

Merely by definition.
Totally! Especially considering that they also invited me the vast majority of the time.
25 fonts loaded! That might be a record. But seriously, very interesting stuff.
> I suspect it is improbable, because an honest, undeniable belief that you lack free will would drive someone stark raving mad.

This presumes that humans are some kind of ultra-rational uber-mensch that is incapable of ignoring inconvenient facts.

Truth of the matter is that an illusion of free-will is just as good as the real thing from the perspective of an individual human's mind.

Also I think you're confusing free-will and predictability, everyone kind of seems to do this for whatever reason, but they aren't mutually exclusive at all.

All of your actions can be the result of quantum mechanical effects, eg. "true randomness", but still be completely unpredictable beyond a certain time/noise horizon even with a 'perfect' simulation. But unless you want to suggest that the free-will arises from the quantum-foam (which I mean, is as unfalsifiable a claim as any other religion, so go for it), you kinda run out of room to fit the free-will.

As for my experience of not believing in free-will? Its been pretty much fine.

I suspect that belief in something free-will-like is pretty evolutionary adaptive, so I think we'd expect it to arise in most simulated minds subject to similar evolutionary pressures.

The only thing I haven't really figured out is why we aren't just p-zombies, but what is life without some mysteries, right? (And given this, I wholeheartedly agree with u/mikeschurman about the need for a justice system that isn't unnecessarily cruel)
Musk, the one who once tried to s-can Sama. Musk can keep piloting Twitter as an expensive lawn dart for all I care. Twitter is easily replicated by any MAANG.
I've been comparing it to a very excitable intern. You ask them to explain complicated topic, or design a system, and then they go off and spend three weeks reading blog posts about the subject. When they come back, they eagerly and confidently recite their understanding. Sometimes the information is right, sometimes it's wrong, but they believe themselves to be a newly-minted expert on the subject, so they speak confidently either way. The things they're saying will almost always sound plausible, unless you have a good level of knowledge about it.

If I wouldn't trust an eager intern to educate me on it, or accomplish the task without close supervision, I don't think it's a productive use of an LLM.
Yes, I do a lot of these! Very chill house "parties" with a handful of people.
Two things need to happen before I would even begin to consider a ban on E2EE:

1. Show that the problem of child abuse on social networks is wildly out of control. I hear about it all the time, but what are the numbers? Where is the data?

2. Make a concrete argument explaining why there are no viable alternatives. What are the proposed alternatives, and why aren't they viable? All I ever hear is "omg we're going dark all hope is lost".

The article only includes one example:

> The Virtual Global Taskforce statement cited the case of UK-based sex offender David Wilson ... Wilson used Facebook "to contact thousands of children, grooming hundreds of victims using fake online profiles" ... law enforcement were able to access the evidence contained within over 250,000 messages through Facebook.

Thousands of children. A quarter million messages. I find it hard to believe that E2EE would have hidden all this activity. Surely Meta could monitor for suspicious activity on their platform and investigate any red flags. Surely, of the thousands of children contacted by this person, some of those children would have reported it, providing law enforcement with potentially thousands of unencrypted messages?

Honey pots. Law enforcement can setup fake profiles of children. I've seen deepfakes that make adults look and sound like children. Then just sit and wait for one of these sick f**s to contact you. Voila, you receive all the messages unencrypted because you're one of the "end"s in END to END encryption.

At the end of the day, I feel they haven't made a compelling argument against E2EE encryption. And, frankly, I just don't trust our institutions - our governments, corporations, and even non-profits - have proven again and again they can't be trusted. Anybody remember when the FBI tried to force Apple to decrypt an iPhone on some b***s**t excuse, and later it turned out the FBI really just wanted a general backdoor into ALL iPhones? Yeah, those institutions.
i don't think anything claimed here requires that lbs or apps are single-tenant on their machines, or that load balancing is connection-oriented
From a high level, the types of immunity seen in the nasal mucosa are completely different than the blood samples used for other kinds of vaccines. You'd expect to see antibodies in the mucosa.

The only saving grace of the existing vaccines is that the T/B-cell response induced is long-lasting and protective. Antibody response is a proxy for what you really care about (survival), and it's a crappy proxy for that, because antibodies rise and fall quickly even if your immune system is well-prepared for future exposures.

The traditional problem with nasal vaccines is that they induce a quick spike in antibodies in the mucosa, which then go away without the corresponding long-term rise in cellular immunity that is seen with injected vaccines.
On what basis are we claiming malicious intent by GNOME?
Self-driving cars are very much in sight. Waymo and Cruise are scaling like crazy and the tech is maturing at a fast pace.
> But you bought a house in 1992 and then shouted down all new development for the last 30 years and now can sell it for €1.5 million more than you paid? Why, that's your HOME you can't tax HOMES can you??

The other side is this helps people move. When a parents kids move out of home you dont want them holding onto big homes just because theyd take a major financial hit by moving, even if their current home doesnt suit their lifestyle.

Incentivising ownership through reducing capital gains for owners also encourages a society where people own their home which hugely softens the issues of retirement and pensions as well as greatly adding to peoples psychological sense of security.

Increasing annual land taxes is a better solution imo, especially in more desirable locations (they should stay low in poorer areas).
It’s not just about hubs but about frequency as well. If given the choice flyers often prefer the airline flying 3 or 4 737s at varying times of day over the one big airplane.
Well, I blame them because they are very, very strongly (and competently) pushing the PR message that they are clean.

It's quite simple - they should pick one: stop pumping up old fossil remains to sell to keep up their luxurious lifestyle or stop bragging about how clean they are.
I have a relatively controversial (at least to some) view that Citizen Kane was the first modern movie. When you watch it, it feels starkly modern compared to other production of its era.

This makes about as much sense as saying the same thing for advise on winning the lottery. The "implementing" part you're referring is nothing other than "being lucky" so there really isn't anything to implement nor anything to advise.

We train the model based on user sessions to learn how to use an app. The model learns how to execute specific flows, but also how to interact with components in the more general sense. Since most developers use compostable components, patterns of usage are repeated across the same app.

Then, during test generation, we bias the model to explore edge cases (in a few ways), and the model is still able to complete those even with low sample.

In other words, we direct the model toward certain goals, and flows and also add chaos to the process which result in the model executing unexpected flows.

You can even give in a little more without accepting the blatant takeover of "bigger": accept that there are different qualities in infinite comparisons. A difference in cardinality can certainly be considered a stronger difference than everything mappable, but denying infinites like "number of points on an infinite line" it's smaller-than relative to "number of points on two infinite lines" is just ridiculous. It's snobbish, pure vanity.

It might be a sampling error on my part, but I see all the murine model breakthroughs and pretty much none of the "this was tested on humans and it did work to some extent" announcements. Phase I is fine, I'm not picky.

"In mice" should be a prefix, not a suffix, eg. "Don't get your hopes up, but" or DGYHUB in short.
Not as far as it used to though.

Intranasal, but not intramuscular vaccination, elicited spike-specific respiratory mucosal IgA and residential T cell immune responses, in addition to systemic neutralizing antibodies and T cell immune responses against most Omicron subvariants.

SARS-CoV-2 infection starts in the upper respiratory system, where the nasopharyngeal tract is at the forefront. To prevent viruses from attaching and replicating at the mucosal epithelium, effective mucosal immunity in the airway is critically important.

Although only in mice, it does at least have a solid hypothesis for why they wish to do it this way.
Honestly, you don't know what you're talking about.
They mention NASAs Artemis program, but the real enabler of larger payloads to the moon may be SpaceX Starship, not SLS, which is too expensive and can't be launched often enough to be used for any additional missions to those already scheduled.
Yes, just because these things have improved doesn't mean they can't get worse, a lot worse.
One basic misconception people often have is that the subset relation implies smaller cardinality (i.e. "size"). E.g., all odd integers are integers, so there are more integers that odd integers. But this is not a very useful notion of size. For example, how would we compare the set of multiples of two with the set of multiples of three? We want a notion of size independent of the underlying "objects" in our sets. This is why we define cardinality in terms of mappings between sets.
"Stop using $thing", says company that happens to sell a replacement for $thing.

Environment variables/files are certainly not perfect, but this is a very one-sided take on them.
There's nothing wrong with having meaningful 1-on-1 connections. But how many of those can you really have in your life, simultaneously?

Read the other comments on this article, and there are so many men in their 30s, 40s, 50s+ saying that they have a partner, a sibling or two, and 0-2 friends, and that's enough, they feel saturated and don't want anymore friends. In my opinion, this is because they're treating every relationship as if it has to be the highest level of meaningful 1-on-1 connection.

I'm super duper close to my brother, my girlfriend, my mom, and to one high school buddy of mine, to the point where we talk for hours a week, every week. Beyond that, I have lots of friends, literally several dozen friends, many of whom I absolutely love, and who I've gotten super vulnerable with, who feel comfortable dropping by unannounced. But I don't make a big deal out of needing to hang out with them 1-on-1 all the time.
You may already be aware, but Apple tried to implement this on their devices a couple years ago. "Client side scanning". There was huge public backlash and Apple eventually moved away from the idea.
I often wonder why academia loves obtuse prose; the only dialect I’ve seen equally enthusiastically adopted while being just as useless is Corpspeak.
What? I can totally binge on /r/askreddit, /r/natureismetal, /r/iama and others
This is totally valid and I misinterpreted your earlier statement to say that we’ve already arrived at what you’re talking about.

It’s a tale as old as the semiconductor really. Ray Kurzweil’s “The Singularity is Near” only with a different spin that incorporates the latest tech.

I do, however, personally believe that computers won’t ever surpass the Human+computer combo. That is to say that computers will never be so dominant that our involvement is useless.

Pontificating about the future wasn’t the point of what I was saying though, rather that the current state of AI (even with the incoming few years of generative AI applications) is a far stride behind the current Human+computer combination.
Climate Fiction Won't Save Us
My point is that intuitive but imprecise naming misleads people. There's no way to talk about "number of points on an infinite line" because there isn't a specific natural number that you can find to denote the number of points here. Infinity is not a number.

That's why we need a proper concept of cardinality.
Do people use it for anything practical? Making stock photos maybe? I haven't really had a proper use case for it and all the random things I tried to make with it weren't good enough to use with anything. Could be useful for making concepts for real artists, but last I heard they were all too busy boycotting it.

Also, not an LLM.
shitification of image hosts is as old as the internet. Imgur just lasted longer than usual because of their integration with Reddit.
This sounds like something that can be defined at an arbitrary point by a committee.
I share your perspective on pricing. I had a discussion with my team lead about why we haven't taken on the task of running our own machines. The rationale behind it is that while server management may seem easy, ensuring its security can be complex. Even in a sizable company, it's worth considering whether you want to shoulder the responsibility or simply pay a higher cost to have Microsoft handle it. Personally, I love hosting my own infrastructure. It's fun, potentially saves me some cash, allows me to learn a lot, and gives me full control. However, I understand now that on a company scale, others may see it differently.

--edit--

I forgot to add the following: that's 32k if you run the system 24/7. Usually it's up for a few hours per month, so you end up paying maybe 2k for the whole year.
Alright this idea fucked me up ngl. I got nothing good to say beyond that. Need time to consider.
For himself? No.

But, a lot of this advice like “take risks” is much easier to do when your failures don’t result in losing everything. If a poor person starts a business and fails they might not be able to afford to eat. If Sam Altman failed would he have been pushed to a similar place on the socioeconomic ladder? My guess is no. It’s much easier to fail when your failure state is that you can rely on your well off family with relatively little hardship.

>The answer is actually "not much." It turns out that 70% of greenhouse emissions have come from ~100 corporations

Read the source carefully. This is not what the BBC or the original paper [1] said. This is a meme that came from tabloids and Reddit. What it does say is that top 100 fossil fuel producers, produce fossil fuels that cause 70% of greenhouse gasses. Obviously, you aren't going to dig for and refine oil in your backyard, so a corporate entity is going to do it for you. Despite the anti-capitalist slant of this meme, the largest producers are all state-owned: "China Coal" (which isn't even a single entity), Gazprom, Aramco, etc. The implication that global warming is the fault of these "corporations" is especially nonsensical because it implies that all fossil fuel producers should conspire to limit their production. Basically, this is describing OPEC on steroids and would make even John Rockefeller blush.

Nothing on pricing on your site. Makes any other question difficult to formulate.
That doesn't really tell us what creativity is, that describes inputs to a black box without addressing what's in the box. I might say, "an airplane is just aluminum and fluid dynamics, that's all an airplane is," and I don't think you'd accept it as a definition.
It's clear that different fuels can have a different carbon impact. A "C atom from a biofuel" may in isolation be indistinguishable from one sourced from a fossil fuel, but it is exactly not the same in terms of its impact; claiming so is obviously disingenuous.

None of this means that biofuels are actually an effective method to reduce the carbon impact of aviation. Life-cycle analysis is pretty hard. We can broadly say that most biofuels are carbon neutral in the gross sense, but the carbon cost of their production could mean that they have an equivalent or even greater overall carbon impact than fossil fuels. It requires energy to transport and process biomass, and changes in land use can have second-order effects – like impacts on food production.

It is, in fact, pretty darned complicated. Reducing this to "everyone except me is an idiot sucker" is not even slightly helpful.
Bard is disappointing because it is incomplete. You can ask what it can do (sending mail, SMS, etc. and outputting formats like audio, video, JSON, CSV, etc) and it will happily tell you, but then prompt it to perform one of those actions and it just says Sorry, I can't do that yet. Maybe it will get better in time.

The one product I'm absolutely disappointed in is Adobe Firefly. I just got access a couple days ago and this is the most alpha product wrapped in pretty ribbons I've seen in a while. All the cool features they teased like text-to-vector and sketch-to-image/vector are not available. In fact, only 2 out of the listed 12 features work, and while OK, they are not better than other options. Also take into account there's no prompt history so good luck getting back to an image set you liked and the biggest head scratcher is you can't use it for commercial purposes. This is a design product. From Adobe. And you can't use it for commercial purposes... Who would ever pay for this?
This is really cool - hope you can keep maintaining it. What are the next APIs you will add?

I'm similar, but it has probably cost me more in happiness then the money is worth. I am trying to counter it by framing more things as investments into myself (happiness as its own goal, but also the ability to more easily make that money back).
