when we started working with Large language models for our solution, we struggled to find the right prompts to get the most optimal results for the tasks we had in mind. That's why we built Prompt Studio: https://prompt.studio, a way for us to fine-tune our LLM prompts. And now we are launching it as an early preview. Prompt Studio allows you to interact with Large Language Models and improve how you write your prompts. It is aimed to help you quickly run variations of your prompts, connect to different language models and write/test prompt templates. Our features as of today are:
- Create reusable templates
- Keep track of the text you generate
- Compare results from different models
- Create sets of data to test your prompt with or use as examples
- Chat mode.

We are continuously working on this and refining it. Some of our next features are:
- Prompt the LLMs on files that you upload to the platform
- Collaborate with your colleagues, create workspaces
- Chain several prompts together for more complex use cases
- Connect to a custom language model through a REST api. In the long run, we want to allow you to connect to other types of AI systems as well.

Do you work with machine learning prompts and you don’t mind the occasional bug? Or do you know someone who works with prompts? We would love to get your feedback on our tool and learn more about what features you would want to see in Prompt Studio. Please reach out to me at sara.fatih@puffly.ai
Am I the only one who finds the end of Return of the Jedi to be the most horrible edit among all of the edits? I mean... I just want the song from my childhood not the garbage found in the blurays...
Its both:

Leave Country A for Country B = expat

Move to Country B from Country A = immigrant

The words mean exactly the same. It's just which perspective you want to highlight. Whether you left a place or moved to a place.
"Melancholic" is the right word. Like negative romance. It has a peculiar ugliness that makes me want to stare at it, to get lost in the detail, and the contrast against the relative uniformity of the water is really compelling as a photograph. There's also an element of awe at its engineering, at least for me. Growing up, my dad worked at a nuclear plant, and it inspired a similar sense of awe. It's an aesthetic that's been used in a lot of science fiction.

Contrast against this famous photo: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-24/why-the-i... which I find disgusting, though similarly detailed. Maybe it's just the whole "familiarity breeds contempt" thing.
While that is true with bikes there is more value than just $. How many things have you not done just because the one-off cost was too high vs the cost of a membership? To me that means that they don't value me wanting to try.
> Tesla are unsafe death traps by design.

This is completely untrue by third party metrics (both governmental and not).
Again, excellent point! These numbers clearly show why* my reasoning is missing a rather large portion of this set.

[edit] - fixed typo
The part that people can't do themselves is the massive storage and indexing of posts/content/uploaded data (because expensive). I'm envisioning a more or less public (hosting is publically funded) API where anyone can build and host their own frontend, with each custom frontend having their own content discovery algorithm(s) and custom moderation options based on the underlying data and indexes provided by the API.

What I mean is that the publically hosted API itself will be minimally moderated, hosting anything except for illegal material. The rest will be solved by (highly granular and specific) indexing/tagging or similar such that each frontend can choose to leave out or otherwise moderate the presentation of certain material. That indexing will also be the basis of writing custom content discovery algorithms.

The API could even allow training of AI models on usage data (for recommendation or moderation) without leaking anything by declaring a set of available parameters and offering to train and deploy models proposed by the public.

This way we won't have to leave the innovation and the making-it-fun-and-usable parts fully up to the government, and we will hopefully avoid government-enforced censorship.
Nah, that sounds like bad management. They should be relaying the requirements to the hardware team.
A membership is $205/yr (~$185/yr with a citi credit card). I don't know what your standard is for "once in a while" but I visit NYC once every two months or so and get enough use out of it during my visits that I just maintain an annual membership.
I probably left too many comments in this thread, but I just remembered something. WTF happened to FOSTA (Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act) and SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act)? The article doesn't make a single mention of either of these acts. Is Meta somehow exempt from these laws?
Nope. Less than $20/month gets me unlimited 80/30 4G/LTE using a single 15 MHz band. If I got a 5G/NR modem, I could get unlimited 200/30 for the same price.
I'd add to this - the subways pricing has increased at far less than the level of inflation, wage growth, minimum wage, etc.

In 2003 the subway fare was $2.00. (This is $3.32 in 2023 inflated dollars)
In 2023 it is $2.75.

In 2003 NYC minimum wage was $5.15. Subway far was or 23 minutes of minimum wage labor.

In 2023 NYC minimum wage is $15, and shortly going up to $17. Subway fare is 11 minutes of minimum wage labor.

What really caught me off guard with the rise of ride hailing apps was how many of my GenZ coworkers were using them frequently for commuting.

> provide access to 3rd party libs referenced in the source code

Yes. I don't know what those libraries are, what they do or where they come from. I can't find any information on the matter.

> They didn't say the machines that compile the source code had internet access

> they explicitly stated those machines had network access (which is completely different)

You're right. I hadn't noticed that.

> they might have access to local network and it's expected so they can fetch the libraries needed for compilation

We still need access to those libraries.

> I can't deny that a supply chain attack might be possible by corrupting one of these 3rd party libs

Good, we at least agree on this possibility. I can't prove it was actually exploited but this shows it's not "unquestionable".

> but there wasn't anything on their report that is as bad as you make it out to be

A supply chain vulnerability seems pretty bad to me. Especially for an "unquestionable" system. Everything they did to defend it against criticism is cast into doubt given this possibility.

> how they would try to come up with a supply chain attack just to mess up the elections to favor their candidate?

If they can mess up the system, the elections are invalid anyway. All prior elections too. Including Bolsonaro's victory in 2018.

> there were several different auditors when they had the auditing session, including universities and the federal police, the source code was provided to these auditors in 2021 and none found the issues the army pointed out

Well they didn't publish detailed reports like the armed forces did. Or maybe they did and I didn't see the reports. Do you know?

They said nothing about the network access either. Why? Seems like a glaring omission to me. All these auditors and not a word about network access during compilation?

> It's even pointed out by TSE that the army had access to the source code at the same time the other auditors had.

Did they look at those libraries? I can't find any information on them.

> There's nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't go that far. I want them to publish the real executable that ran on the machines on election day. That way we can reverse engineer it and look for malicious code. That's the true test. If the binary is genuine and no one finds anything, I'll accept the results and never again speak of this matter. Otherwise the possibility is gonna remain at the back of my mind.
Not the GP but our example is we have a lab (chemistry lab with fume hood etc). But nobody has to go there every day; it’s used 2-3 days a week.

The facility has some cubicles and conference rooms as well. I go in when someone’s in the lab and work in one of the cubes (sometimes I assist in the lab since I’m qualified to do so). But most of the work can be done remotely (including data analysis, so why drive in? We have a remote culture that works for us so going in isn’t that different than going to a field site.
yes in the US you can wave Nazi flags, but if a police officer stops you for allegedly speeding and you remove your hands from the wheel or look them in the eyes, they can and will shoot you.

They shoot to kill over a thousand times a year.

If any of those EU countries had such stats, they would shutdown the police entirely for abuse of violence.

Fortunately, we are civilized and it never happened.

Anyway you are wrong about the Lodo Alfano in Italy, which I know very well being Italian. The law has been active for a few months before being declared unconstitutional.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodo_Alfano

I wonder how wrong you are for every other country

EDIT:

wrong on the French law too

"On 18 June 2020, the French Constitutional Council struck down core provisions of the law."

and probably on many others

I have no time to check them all, but I already have the feeling that most of them suffer from the same selection bias of the Italian and French one.

EDIT 2:

the article talking about the Spanish law is no different

Hasel was not arrested for insulting the Spanish monarchy, but for saying that the police and the monarchy were responsible of torture and for spreading terrorism in his lyrics.

Hasel has a criminal history and had already been arrested two times already for resisting to the police (which is a crime in most western countries) and housebreaking.

He knew he was going to be arrested because he had been found guilty in a trial that he could have won, but never showed up.

So he barricaded himself inside a university building.

I wonder how it would have ended in other freer countries...

The application of the law has in the meantime been changed to allow for more dissuasive measures instead of repressive ones.

And I must say that I despise the way Spanish police works, but in this case they did what they were supposed to do: they arrested someone who had been condemned for a crime by a regular court.
Microsoft was pretty happy though that an open source TCP/IP stack existed on FreeBSD so they didn't have to go and actually write their own for Windows.
Techshield OSB Sheathing vs. AtticFoil Radiant Barrier (2012)
Well that's the rub, right? We live in a world with strong copyright, where a corporation has complete ownership of cultural artifacts, and it can decide on its own whims what it thinks will be more profitable at a given time.

The tendency of corporations to go back and revise/censor those old works in the name of profitability is just one of the many ways that lengthy copyright monopolies are damaging to society.
> Do the stats tell the full story? If you stop prosecuting crime, and cops then stop arresting criminals, the stats go down and the crime goes up.

Do you have any stats to share?

I think another telling part in that article I linked to is that survey respondents in SF in July 2022 said the biggest issue for them, by almost a factor of 2, is homelessness and not crime. That stat appears to have a long-term upward trend:

When people talk about being "forced to quit", no one means they've got a gun to their heads. No one means they're having their hands moved to type a resignation letter.

They mean that conditions are being deliberately degraded in order to make it harder to feel OK working there.

You may enjoy the taste of boot, but not all of us do, and some of us recognize that valuing workers as human beings is more important than just blindly obeying every single dictate that comes down from On High. "Human needs" are more than just the things we absolutely have to have for survival; even the somewhat-creaky Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs has over half the height of the pyramid being non-basic needs.
Right, projects that were like 50 years in the making, long delayed, etc.

The 2nd phase up to 125th probably takes another 10 years and $20B if we are lucky.

Report Details Turmoil Behind Siri and Apple's AI Efforts
I was listening to the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing" on Sirius last week and there's an entire verse that was just edited out of existence (if you're old enough to remember the song when it came out, you can probably guess which verse). Never mind that the verse itself was poking fun at people who talked like that.
Under US accounting rules, it is much better for a landlord to leave a property unrented at a higher price than to rent it at a lower price.

If the property is unrented, the landlord can use the proposed rental price in calculating the value of the property.

If the landlord accepted the lower rent, they would have to use that lower price in calculating the value of the property.

That could cause all sorts of problems with any loans that the landlord has on the property that are secured by the value of the property.
It's an additional potential point of failure that will be expensive to fix. Phones generally have a usable life of 2 to 5 years before people start hankering to upgrade. Cars ought to last at least 8 to 10, and ideally closer to 20. I know car designers don't actually think this way, but it would be nice if they did put more thought into making sure every part of it is easy to repair or built to last for that whole stretch instead of trying to put new-car buyers on an upgrade treadmill and telling used-car buyers to suck it up and deal.
We'll see if that -

1) Is actually released in 2024
2) In volume
3) Plays a meaningful role in getting Intel back into striking distance to the performance crown in perf per mm per watt. Intel has pulled every shortcut lever (larger dies, crank up the power) to continue to be relevant. They're running out of shortcuts.
The example you provide doesn't match a more-reasonable scenario where people would want to alter a work. How about "Breakfast at Tiffany's" which may (or may not) be a good film -- would it be bad if there existed an altered copy of the movie you could watch that tastefully removed / altered (with AI perhaps) the extremely racist parts?

The idea I'm arguing for isn't to endorse irreversible erasure of the past, but addition of versions that are updated / edited.
edit: never mind
I can't be the only one who initially misread UAE as UAC.
Australia, the country I live in, has an official passport that has for Sex: the valid responses M | F | X.

The reason for that is the actual verifiable existance of people who were born here clearly, scientifically, medically as neither M NOR F.

They are valid exceptions to the above quote from the Nye program and there are enough people born this way to number in the thousands in a country of some ~ 23 milllion or so.

The passport system was changed as a citizen of this country fronted and objected to having enter M or F when they were born clearly neither.

As someone with a science background who measures and models reality I approve of systems that track the world and its elements as it is and as they are .. rather than models that force a world view that doesn't match reality.
> Are those teachers in middle class well to do schools?

No, actually.

> I don't know if inserting teacher discretion is a "good idea" in cases where we're talking about "equity" - it could just as easily result in some students being graded worse/better with no respect to the work done.

It's a fair criticism. But keep in mind that grading already involves a lot of teacher discretion, to the point where I'm not convinced that a significant amount is being added here.

Also, I'm not sure these teachers would necessarily say the policy is specifically intended to increase equity (as much as that is a priority in general). As one of my professors explained it (I'm a graduate student working towards a teaching degree, so my professors are also K-12 teachers), giving a child a bad grade means they did not master the learning objective. Allowing the child to retry the assignment at least provides an opportunity for them to go back and learn the material.

(For what it's worth, when I become a teacher I don't think I'm going to allow unlimited retries in my own classroom. I'm not sure though—I like some aspects of the idea.)
Indeed. It was neat for awhile when Twitter was censorship hell, but now that that issue has improved dramatically I haven't actually bothered using it in months.
I also like https://shepherd.com/. One of its interesting features is that authors list their five favorite books and say why they like them.
Yeah, you'll get more generous allowances from platforms that want to up/cross-sell you. If you don't mind a bit of extra fiddling, you could use fly.io. Very generous free tier there. Postgres isn't "managed" in the usual way though but it works.
Nice article. Not what I was expecting...

I was really hoping this would address "Visual Book" like in ふしぎの海のナディア, Fushigi no Umi no Nadia/The Secret of Blue Water. The LaserDiscs used to say "Visual Book" in every episode.

Great animated series (to me), a mix of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the Illuminati.

Do NOT watch it with the english subs. Suffer with the Japanese, even if You don't speak it. You don't need the junk verbal translation, You will still get the main concepts. And Hanson's driving is so much more manaical in Japanese.
Same for "Married... with Children". They replaced the iconic "Love and Marriage" theme song with elevator music.
I wish them all the best here in NC, but the auto dealer’s association is easily one of the most influential lobbying groups in the state, which is why Tesla can’t even sell their own cars here.

Myself, for a completely new topic, review Wikipedia. If I can find a 'Hello World' example, I do that. I then find a book.

If it is something I know a little about, enough to be dangerous, but struggle applying. I look for a step-by-step guide.

Now if I know an expert on the topic, I will then go talk with them to fill in the gaps.

Following on 'gregjor's comment, I knew a person who learned C programing by reading the appendix of the classic C book. He just read the BNF grammar and was good to go.
I once was brought into a team that fervently bought into the "hotspot" argument, blustering ahead under the notion that performance was tomorrow's problem where someone would spend a day with a profiler and it would all be fixed.

In reality their project was death by a thousand...neigh million or billions...of cuts. Poor technology choices. Poor algorithm choices. Incompetent usage (e.g. terrible LINQ usage everywhere, constantly). This was the sort of project where profiling was almost impossible because any profiling tool barfed up and gave up at every tier.

Profiling the database was an exercise in futility. Profiling the middle tier was a flame graph that was endless peaks. Profiling the front-end literally crashed the browser. I ended up having to modify Chromium source to be able to accurately get a bead on how disastrously the Angular app was built.

This is common. If performance doesn't matter to a team, it will never be something that can be easily fixed. Maybe you can throw a huge amount of money at the problem and scale up and out to a ridiculous degree for a tiny user base, but making an inefficient platform efficient is seldom easy.
I just miss the days where every movie didn't have to be over 2 hours. The 90 minute comedy is a lost art form at this point.

There have always been long movies, but it used to be that there was a purpose, to create an epic. Now we get romantic comedies drawn out to a 2:30 runtime.
Such a great article. My current car, a 2018 Subaru Outback, has an infotainment touch screen, that I use, but it really isn't that much better than the older button controls on my 2007 Toyota Landcruiser. I'm glad in both cars control of cabin air is reasonably manual - the Subaru made really strange choices though with button positions for fan speed. (I do love the big MAX AC button that in an Aussie summer has the satisfaction of I guess blamming the "Easy" button.
I do like having a responsive smart phone for navigation, calls while driving. While I have used Android Auto at times to display on Subaru console screen, it just seems a bit laggy and takes your eyes off the road. I like my phone on a windscreen hard in corner where I finger it while keep my hands on the wheel if I need to.

I really am not looking forward to what the offerings might be available when I likely will change out the current Landcruiser for something to help me tow a caravan for some retirement adventures.
Heaven forbid a doctor be able to share a link of a 3D visualization for a procedure so patients have a better understanding of the decisions they have to make. That'd be way too convenient!
I don't believe in any kind of genius, secret or otherwise.

People of "normal" cleverness, i.e. smart but with many equals, don't find it difficult to estimate the smartness of people less smart than they are. We can understand their thinking, and sometimes even predict their mistakes. And we can think faster than they can.

When we look at people smarter than ourselves, that doesn't work; they can solve problems faster than us, they can solve problems we can't solve at all, and we can't grok their mental processes. They appear to us to have magical powers. They don't have to be a lot smarter than us for us to place them in a different category. We see them as qualitatively different.

Also, we can't distinguish between people who are just a bit smarter than us, and those who are a lot smarter than us. We lack the measurement tools.

"Genius" is like "demon" - it's a magical classification that we use for things and people we don't understand. That is, when we call someone a genius, we're talking about what we are, not what they are.

Great, but we are talking about Europe, can't you read?
In any case, if you're a EUian, you can live and work in Germany (or any other EU country) just like a native of the country (some restrictions may apply/may have applied, e.g. with the UK (when it was part of the EU) restricting the number of Romanians and other "freshly joined the EU" citizens who could live there). There's even no need to have a high-paying contract like software dev or brain surgeon, you can be a dishwasher.

Maybe it's not just EU, but EFTA as well, I was in Iceland and there were a lot of Eastern Europeans working in the retail stores.
