Sure. And if gun regulations are the same throughout the state, but per-capita gun homicide is higher in a blue city within a red state, then that implies something about blue governance correlates to higher gun violence. The fact that the difference is likely not due to gun restrictions only strengthens the argument against their effectiveness.
Since the MCMXX's
Yep. I've had them do this multiple times, although my app was made to control specific hardware that they didn't have. I did put a "demo" backdoor into the app for them to use without the hardware, but they demanded a video. I thought that was pretty reasonable and sort of enjoyed doing it.

But... there is so much wrong with the App Store, and Apple purposefully keeps it that way. For example, the so-called search is an absolute sham. Apple claims that publisher name is one of the top three criteria for app search, but searching for our app by exact publisher name didn't bring it up AT ALL. At least not in the first 300 listings, which is where I stopped.

What WAS in those first 300 listings? 300 that didn't contain the search string ANYWHERE. The first few contained a similarly-spelled name that Apple replaced the search term with, without asking... essentially undermining our trademark. After that there was nothing but completely irrelevant results, including numerous FART APPS, which Apple decries as undesirable in its own documentation.

When challenged on this repeatedly, Apple (after initially blowing off my complaint with boilerplate) claimed to have reviewed the situation and found everything working fine. I would have had to escalate it to a legal issue asserting some kind of hijacking of our trademark (no idea if there's any legal ground to stand on there) to take it further.

Apple knows the search is bullshit and lies about it. You can test it yourself as a developer.
I think maybe by the time the end credits roll around it might be too late to be like "ah shit this movie wasn't brand new!" anyway, heh.

The average user is not typically subject to remote attacks. There are exceptions of course. However we should design the default security experience for the threats the average user faces. Most users aren't being targeted by the NSA, etc.

Unless you mean the webserver they use being attacked, but that is just as vulnerable for 2fa. The only difference is the user cannot screw up and use the same credential on multiple websites with 2fa.

Yes, but in order to enable it, they require that you enable an app first.

Tesla has two solar products. Don't confuse them.

The first is the "solar roof" sort of thing that... we'll see how maintainable it is, but you get to write a properly large check for it, and most of the people I know with it have a couple Powerwalls, and are quite adverse to sharing any sort of actual pricing on it, muttering about "Well, wife acceptance factor" and "But it'll be worth it in power outages..." and such. In other words, almost certainly north of $5/W, and they likely didn't get an itemized invoice of materials/labor/etc.

Tesla also, in some markets, has a "standard solar panel" offering that typically comes in around $2.50/W, give or take, and... well, you get what you pay for, typically. It ranges from "decent and a good deal" to "a hot mess," and you've no idea what you're going to get ahead of time.

... and then there are people like me who have sub-$1.50/W installs (DIY). Mine came in around there, but after figuring out how to optimize it better, a neighbor's build came in around $1/W for a 21kW system.

//EDIT: And, yes, it takes a lot of learning to do. Cross that with the tens of thousands of dollars saved, I think it's well worth the hassle.
TLDR: If you can do it later with no huge headache, then do it later.

There are some federal forms that ask about drug use and will disqualify you for use of marijuana. For example, employment forms and firearm background checks. And if you lie, they are still enforcing those laws. So while you may not go to prison for smoking weed, you might go to prison for smoking weed while doing something else that is regulated.
I often attribute the vast majority of my happiness and success back to psychedelics, trauma, and my experience living an unconventional and eccentric life.

I could fill pages with the anecdotes, specific examples, and my personal speculation on why this is but i can just gloss over the details and skip to the takeaway: LSD has made my life net better.

Another point I am trying to drive home is that this is what I would consider an “incomplete” or “immature” take. For example the authors anxiety is likely stemming from some organic experiences either traumatic, economic, physiological, or psychological — getting to the bottom of those and surfacing the patterns themselves is one of the great benefits of this chemical. I’d love to see this author examine their experience and ask where the anxiety is coming from.

You have to face your fears and anxiety before you can understand them — before you can conquer them.

I’m just glad this forum is finally talking about this topic. More psychedelics here please.
Most of the latent and stable diffusion authors also work at Stability AI, as do many other generative AI research leaders in media.

Naming rights on the model were no part of the compute grant, we give them incredibly freely and also support. Naming was suggested by the researchers in this case.

* From 2016 to 2020, the two U.S. counties to experience the most gun homicides per capita were rural* (see Figure 1); Phillips County, Arkansas: 55.45 age-adjusted homicides per 100,000 people; Lowndes County, Alabama: 48.36 age-adjusted homicides per 100,000 people*

* From 2016 to 2020, 13 of the 20 U.S. counties with the most gun homicides per capita were rural: (see Figure 1); 80 percent of these 20 counties are in states that received an “F” grade for their weak gun laws, according to Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence’s 2021 annual state scorecard rankings.

* In 2020, the total gun death rate for rural communities—when age-adjusted per 100,000 people—was 40 percent higher than it was for large metropolitan areas.
Thanks for sharing. Why is the training dataset that contains instructions and output wrapped by another enclosing prompt (https://github.com/minosvasilias/godot-dodo/blob/f62b90a4622...)

Why does this even work when during inference this wrapping prompt is absent? Wouldnt the model then work best against a inference prompt that follows the wrapping prompt structure, however the desired outcome is to have a model that just works without the wrapping prompt?

Edit: see reply from OP, the wrapping prompt is used for inference as well, so misunderstanding on my part
Yeah, we were always really clear about that, the GitHub is clearly CompVis for example.

We fund dozens of models and collaborate on them too, the ones we assert IP over are those in our GitHub as benchmark models based on open research coded and trained from scratch.

It gets really complex otherwise when you have lots of collaborators eg on the LAION models.

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is believed to raise levels of NAD+, which in turn is a vital component of mitchondrial energy production (and levels tend to fall with age).

I'm actually taking plain Nicotinamide (one form of Vitamin B3) in larger amounts (3g/day) and the benefits I feel from it are similar to those ascribed to NMN (the recommended dose of which is about 1g/day).
i would define abstract reasoning as composing and manipulating a model of reality or other complex system in order to make predictions

How dare the minority in education start organizing for equal rights! Those alt-right incels wanting equal rights are such radicals!

…wait, what?

I think people are underestimating the bias of their own tribe and that many people are “de-programming” from radical leftwing ideas (eg, systemic racism against Asians or systemic misandry in education) by finding content which exposes inconsistencies in those narratives and points out their underlying bigoted nature.

When you’re part of a cult, you start accusing everyone of being “alt right” when they leave.
The problem for the US is that the country went around the world arm-twisting for decades to get other nations to ban drugs. To legalize is obviously the just and correct decision, I think people are just embarrassed to do it at the federal level now purely because of the history.
Two things may preclude optimization in pure Python when producing a library for general public. Having a nice / ergonomic interface is one. Keeping things backwards-compatible is another.
Yep, as in all things, we do the easy thing until it stops working. Only then is it worth putting more work into harder things.

I’m not deriding this approach, mind you. It’s efficient.

Edit: Also the incremental improvement over the current system needs not only to be big enough that it outweighs the cost of the changeover (including hidden costs like risks and opportunity cost), but also to be big enough to bother with in absolute terms. Things like zip, mp3 and jpg are good enough that even though there are now alternatives that are better by any reasonable metric, for most users it's just not worth the bother of changing over.

Yeah I've noticed that YouTube almost always recommends me one or two videos with less than 100 views now. Must be a relatively recent change. The videos are often pretty relevant and pretty good, which is a bit depressing. Seeing people put a lot of work into videos that nobody watches (by YouTube standards) is sad. Though that is the reality of most channels. Maybe this change will help them.
Chinese Censorship Is Quietly Rewriting the Covid-19 Story

I have a 5 year old who loves building blocks and legos. We are not even too particular about quality. When I buy blocks for my kid, I am looking for him to learn to have fun by himself without Mom/Dad becoming involved and that is very hard ask with lego competitors. We tried buying from lego competitors but then they are missing pieces or their instructions are lacking which is very difficult for a small child to deal with.
Fairly common for even pedestrian discrete GPUs to use over 200W. The ludicrous ones can break 1000W. In a given generation, GPU performance is not far from linear in power consumption.

The problem is the existing iGPUs are unnecessarily anemic. Okay, the Radeon RX 6950 XT has 80 CU at 335W. You can't fit that in Socket AM5. But the Radeon RX 6400 has 12 CU at 53W. You could add that to a Ryzen 7 7700X (105W) and still have a lower TDP than a Ryzen 9 7900X (170W). You could double that and add it to a Ryzen 7 7700 (65W) and still be under 170W. You could even add that to the 7950X with the caveat that it has the base clock of the 7945HX when the iGPU is under load.

But the Ryzen 7000 series iGPU doesn't have 24 CU, or 12, it has 2. Intel's have been even slower.

The question is, why bother? 2 CU is plenty to run a monitor if you're not doing anything that benefits from a fast GPU. If you are, 12 CU is still on the low side.

But AI could change things, because then even people who don't play games will have a use for that kind of hardware. Professionals will still pay thousands of dollars for a big hot discrete GPU but there is now a case for having ten times as many CU in every business PC.

It's also starting to make more sense to put the CPU and GPU together because of unified memory. The full version of LLaMA requires ~122GB of RAM. That's petty cash in PC memory but a capital expenditure for GPUs. If AMD wanted to make a big splash, they'd drop a new Threadripper with a high TDP socket, a ton of memory channels, support for RDIMMs and a fast iGPU.

This is the thing that may finally unseat Nvidia on AI, because if every CPU from Intel or AMD starts to include an iGPU that can do AI as fast as a $300+ Nvidia discrete GPU, people are going to make the code run on them.

I get that people want range, but after owning a truck, I'm never road tripping in a car again. A body-on-frame truck is such a superior way to soak up highway miles. My truck isn't great in the city, is absolutely not a sports car, etc. I would never take a Bolt on a roadtrip, but I'd also never take a Camry, Accord, etc. I'm not sure why the ability to roadtrip a family car is so critical.

This is an _endorsement_ of electric cars. I wouldn't use a hatchback/sedan/crossover for roadtripping, and the idea that everyone is always roadtripping is wild. Just fly if you need to go >300 miles, it's a better experience than trying to roadtrip a Bolt, which is a perfect car for >95% of people. No sweating, no exhaustion at the end; just landing and going.
i completely agree, but as long as this is all driven by economics the existence of those corn subsidies is going to mean the farmland that gets repurposed won't be the farmland that gets the most government subsidies, it'll be the farmland that grows the cheap food that people need to eat.

i know ethanol farming is a waste, but it's a lot easier to convert a corn field back into a useful farm field before you've built a solar farm on top of it, rather than afterwards

Sure, having a group of people who are of the same general education, sensibilities, and class is desirable.

When people who are only in the same space due to shared interests and experiences become too inclusive then that gets diluted and they are left being around a lot of people who are just a lot of people. No one likes that except extroverts and attention seekers.

Trying to shame us for pining for the days of educated and interesting content made by people we relate to for reasons that are not tied to monetizing everything (because, well, we don't need it) is silly, because by pretending you think that is wrong means you are either short-sighted or bitter.

This is not to say that exclusivity is desirable, but to say that communities exist for a reason and being nostalgic about losing a healthy one does not make you a bad person.
> It is verbose and doesn’t sound like an actual person.

It reads like someone trying to trick you. Example from the FAQ:

> Will AnonChatGPT store my questions and responses?

> We understand how important your privacy is to you, which is why we take it very seriously. We want to assure you that we do not store any of the questions you submit, nor any of the responses you receive from ChatGPT. (…)

It drones on for over 100 words. If you’re honest about your intentions, you only need one: “No”. Direct and unambiguous. Otherwise it reads like trying to lie based on some technicality.
It's just another "experience" in life. Many have found it significant. I agree it's prob not some panacea thing... but clearly it let's people feel some other way of thinking and feeling things in their life and the world.

Which can probably be an impetus to solve some forms of depression, or have a change in life etc.

So I think you're partially right but also partially wrong at writing it all off as useless or some fad.

Where are you supposed to keep them? iOS devices don't even give you direct access to the file system, and they tend to have a lot less storage space than desktops.

Not to mention, it's a lot easier to do actual work on your desktop, with a large screen, keyboard, and mouse/trackpad. What do you think people use Macs for, gaming? ;-)

> they don't even have backups for losing data.

This is a very weird statement. Desktops have more backup options than a locked down iPhone. Indeed, I backup my iPhone to my Mac. Try backing up your Mac to an iPhone. ;-)

And both Mac and iPhone have iCloud, if you want to use that.

> Those people (and many more, who don't even need or have a laptop/PC) still have a mobile phone.

So?
Another OAI proxy eh? There’s probably a market for anonymizing OAI access, come to think of it. Especially when using it for, let’s just say, non-SFW purposes.
“Some 70% of the information on Yandex News was coming from state-controlled media sources pushing propaganda”

This article reads like US propaganda.

“Russia imposed increasingly restrictive laws, arresting social media users over posts, demanding access to user data, and introducing content filtering.”

The US performs similar actions. The Twitter files have shown demanding access and content filtering by the government with Twitter and likely other social networks. Recent arrest of left wing US citizens for criticism of the Ukraine war and social media blocking criticism or demonetizing contributors for criticizing the US role in Ukraine war. An attempt to install a Czar of disinformation into the Department of Homeland Security was thankfully stymied mainly due to the character of the individual chosen. Many other examples abound in the US of attempts to control opinions and access to social networks.

> The reasons for these disparities go beyond modern policy differences and extend back to events that predate not only the American party system but the advent of shotguns, revolvers, ammunition cartridges, breach-loaded rifles and the American republic itself. The geography of gun violence — and public and elite ideas about how it should be addressed — is the result of differences at once regional, cultural and historical. Once you understand how the country was colonized — and by whom — a number of insights into the problem are revealed.
