It's a bit more flexible than that, though - rather than ignore 80% vs 70% and make it all up or down, you can let him predict a few different events in a row, add up the errors, and see how off they are.

Or if you do want to review the past, you can look at the error for a category of elections or that entire year rather than his whole prediction career.
Thanks for the reference, had missed that story. PKD notches up another one ...

A phrase in the story caught my attention: "all hell is bursting [instead of breaking] loose" - it's nearly a googlewhack, only two other unrelated hits.
I actually did this with an silly little app I made that generates fake social media profiles (https://lookface.app). I gave it a prompt telling it what to generate and an example JSON. As long as you say it must be in JSON I haven't had any problems with it generating bad JSON.
Some big assumptions there chief
I'm not sure if saying "quite a sad understanding" is really an appropriate or deserved response in this scenario.

Like anything, there's a lot more beneath the surface. Many white collar folx tend to entirely write off Africa and other third world countries and misunderstand some of the dynamics there.

Yes, of course there will be a decrease in demand, that does not make unionization bad.

You also seem to underestimate the ability for African people to band together into collective movements. Yes there will be scabs, of course, but this is a step forward in the fight.

I do find myself feeling frustrated when someone approaches the comment section on a journey that has taken technical workers _several years_ through the courts system and then offers a dismissal that seems to suggest that the problem could be solved if they thought of it differently or didn't realize how shortsighted they were.

I do hope Africa is able to follow through on its ambitions to have serious punching weight in the global sphere, all problems aside. It is a beautiful continent with many beautiful cultures in it. It certainly feels a bit like a kind of home for me.
> I don't think I can be convinced that any modern browser UI will ever match the efficiencies offered by a terminal-based interface.

But you can run a terminal in the browser. It’s a pretty common way to interact with cloud servers. And as long as the server isn’t on the other side of the planet it’s not noticeably slower than a local terminal.

The problem isn’t the technology, its the sad state of UI engineering.
Wonder which package will replace M-x doctor.
Could be that price increases are remaining high, even as supply shocks have abated.
Dark Reader. Case insensitive but space matters). If you search for darkreader it won't find it.
I would argue that "that's not a well-formed question" is a correct answer, not a non-answer.

...and that the intellectual thread you are pulling on is a (more) artificial notion, constructed by set theorists for the sake of set theorists, not for the sake of counting or measuring in any real sense.
But if you leave before X years you get.... affordable housing for that period rented below market rate to you.

So employee lose what exactly ? (I assume) they wouldn't be able to mortgage a property at market rate without it

> If housing wasn't increasingly difficult to come by, this wouldn't even be on the table as a compelling offer.

Well, the city doing exact same thing would certainly be preferable, but this is still helping the problem
Thanks for the link, I love research papers fresh out of the oven.

> subject cooperation is required both to train and to apply the decoder

That's fascinating and kinda bends my intuition. Can't wait for the paper to be on ***hub (strangely my institution does not have access).
> This is a lot like saying, "fractional exponents are meaningless, ...

I don't even know what that means.

The second paragraph, I can't take issue with; the problem is "the set of all events" has cardinality 1.
What laws would those be exactly?
It’s flying from LGA to BOS.

Your link is some app artifact. It’s not real.
Lets just say you need to understand a bit more about the difficulties about 'organizing people'

You are sounding like those businessmen who think building a facebook or programmer just requires hiring some contracted programmer for a few months.

And organizing people across national/linguistic borders is instantly 10x harder. Across long causality chains, 1000x harder. Its like trying to build an app that can run on hardware from the 90s to modern iOS to windows XP. The only company on the planet that can do that is Palantir, and they aren't very profitable.
I have not said SvelteKit can't do it. In fact having different options(and for free) is a great thing. I was raising the point that messaging [1] is that it is not recommended most of the time, and does not say when it is good to have an SPA.

Also mentions about scenario JavaScript is disabled. I am not too sure if these frameworks help there with SSR. May be it meant the user can still see a pre-rendered page but with almost no interaction possible?

Essentially I was saying there is a push towards server based frameworks.

Do you have any tips on how to prompt it right? How do I tell it to write code when it isn’t aware of custom internal classes and APIs?

Fully agree.
I like the concept, but the concept itself produces multiple instances of any particular subject.
You have to wade through a plethora of almost the same instances and then read the moderation policy on each to find out is this is the one for you, then you have to somehow tell your friends.

Host here. Here is my summary:
Yann Collet was bored and working as a project manager. So he started working on a game for his old HP 48 graphing calculator.

Eventually, this hobby led him to revolutionize the field of data compression, releasing LZ4, ZStandard, and Finite State Entropy coders.

His code ended up everywhere: in games, databases, file systems, and the Linux Kernel because Yann built the world's fastest compression algorithms.

And he got started just making a fun game for a graphing calculator he'd had since high school.
Perhaps you went to a better school than I did.

I only did 101 and 102, but even then the professor always spoke in terms like we were some old village, probably to make things easier to understand. But obviously those analogies don't apply to the world today, mostly.
I hope you're joking here! If not, I would fire him on the spot. If for nothing else, he should not be messing with sshd debugging if he doesn't know what he is doing.

No, there are not "hundreds, perhaps thousands, of events and several orders of magnitude"

There is one event. The US House, Senate, and state elections have completely different methodologies and no bearing on the Presidential election, which is enormously complicated by the Electoral College.
Ask HN: join live courtroom strategy discord and stream?
I have been taken to court by my former employer. They have engaged, it seems, a high cost legal team. I have no means to engage my own legal team.

The legal system is overly complex and archaic. Even to file a few documents with the court requires days of work to just understand the process.

I was given just over 24 hours to prepare for my court hearing, and I believe this puts me at severe disadvantage.

My idea is to crowdsource my legal advice. I will be representing myself but I have created a Discord server to get advice from the community.

Whilst I am in court I will check the Discord server to get advice. The court hearing will be on an open video conference link so anyone can join and observe.

I am also asking the founders of Harvey AI, DoNotPay and OpenAI to consider assisting in my efforts. If you can introduce me to anyone there please let me know.

Please email anindha@gmail.com and I will send you a Docusign to confirm that you are on my legal team and you will need to confirm that you will not share information from the Discord server with anyone else, especially the other party.

I am based in Australia.

I like how delusional weirdos have taken up the literal arguments made by corporations that endlessly shift blame for their misdeeds on "consumers".

If you're allowed to do bad things, you make laws to prevent it.
T-Mobile screams coupon-clipping to me, and that's the entire reason I've avoided it. Sounds stupid, but AT&T has been fine. Worth paying a little more.
iOS. The browser apps named Chrome and Firefox there are skins over Safari.
I believe they are facetiously pointing out the logical fallacy the original commenter was making by claiming that the law unjustly punished everybody to protect poor parents. But that same logical stretch could apply to any and all laws, thereby making all laws unjust in the same way. While that line of thinking may appeal to a anarchic-libertarian extremist minority, the overwhelming majority of people see this as stupid.
Definition of "true fan" from author's referenced link:

> creators only needed to engage a modest base of “true fans”—those who will “buy anything you produce”—to the tune of $100 per fan, per year (for a total annual income of $100,000) [1]

And

> A true fan is defined as a fan that will buy anything you produce [2]

The "anything you produce" means Rob is returning to the definition, and hyperfocused niching was detrimental to his mental health.

But wouldn't that require a lot more personal information to be in the leak than just Name/SSN? At least DOB, and sometimes more would be required. Therefore that would be a huge and damaging leak that would encompass more than just SSNs. Be careful what you wish for.
Is there a way to do something like this but with fine tuning? For example, I want to train a Lora to become a email spam classifier. I have the training data for the prompt as the email and the response as {Boolean:True/False}?
It is not just about pixels... The line-height of the text in the address bar simply feels wrong to me. We now have more spaces but smaller, harder to see text. Feels like going backwards for me. Reminds me of the new Steam download UI, the elements are larger while the download speed is much harder to discrern. I rememember lying on bed checking on the game download speed in my high school years, now I have to get real close to see the current speed.

The rest of the "refresh" actually seems not unacceptably bad.

Some 'designers' just blatantly waste advanced technology and screen real estate. Like I finally built a PC that can open right-click menus in an instant wihout having to watch the spinner, and then windows 11 decided that having (unskippable!) transitions to open menus is a good idea. I went out of my way to make sure I have the lowest-latency mouse and monitor, and websites use these custom css scrollbars that have nearly 2 frames of more latency that the system one, also dragging windows in and out of Stage Manager make your mouse have massive latency for a while.

I am at least happy with macOS though, at least the line-height is not going wild. Seems Apple have some of their soul left, though they may be lost soon. Even just being a novice macOS user I can immediately tell whether any animation is done pre or post 2020.
In my mind, I have a "confidence" in my memories and what I know, which seems to be based on how much "context" I can tie it to. This is how I can identify false memories, and say "I don't know".

Is there some "confidence" coefficient that we can extract from AI?

I would claim that hallucinations are required for creativity and problem solving. A "novel" answer is a hallucination to the existing dataset. For a simple example, have ChatGPT-4 come up with a new words that combine two concepts. I imagine this wouldn't be possible if hallucinations weren't allowed.
It's not incumbent on individual citizens to stop corporations. We lack the resources and wherewithal to do so.

These companies are doing things that should be made to be illegal.
Yes, it's disabled. Evidently the two options are "ask me each time" and "ask me intermittently"; there doesn't seem to be an option for "don't ask again".
Yes and/but there was real concern then that they'd stop supporting it which would have killed Mac use in corporate environments where specific version of office compatibility was a huge issue (As anyone who remembers the Office 2.0 vs Office 6 update on Windows will remember).

Well 'modern science' aka 'scientific materialism'.

Tons of the greatest scientists were religious and therefore not materialists.

It's pretty easy to just brush it all aside, but I don't think we should.

Also - I suggest you don't need to take acid, but rather just look into your child's eyes to start to fathom something more. I mean, the notion that we are merely blobs of particles randomly bouncing around completely disintegrates pretty much everything we would otherwise believe, I mean, literally the notion of 'intelligence' itself, as such a thing cannot exist out of randomness.

Imagine if scientific materialists had to preface every time they said 'life' or 'intelligence' or 'love' or 'creativity' or 'communication' or 'knowledge' with 'supposed life' or 'supposed intelligence' etc. because after all, 'we know none of that exists, neither does consciousness, and we are not having a discussion, we just appear to be having it'.

What's funny is a '5th force' that we might crudely refer to as 'Spirit' or whatever that seems to somehow influence matter/energy in some way, is literally and logically a better and more intuitive explanation that 'we are randomness'. And that position would be in many ways much less hypocritical than those walking around professing that they are 'nothing but noise' and yet living every aspect of their lives as though they were not.

Random particles cannot have 'rights' folks, so pick a side!
When I ask GPT-4 to give me a response in JSON format it just does it, so I assume that yes you can fine-tune an LLM to handle this.
As far as I am aware, they do not sell information to advertisers. Doing so would be a bad business move for them, anyway (ditching long term brand trust for short term profit?)

On AirTag location privacy, from Apple's site [1]:

> Only you can see where your AirTag is. Your location data and history are never stored on the AirTag itself. Devices that relay the location of your AirTag also stay anonymous, and that location data is encrypted every step of the way. So not even Apple knows the location of your AirTag or the identity of the device that helps find it.

I don't think they're lying about this.

Any chance you can add the actual chain for the solution in the 'share' function?

My dad used to do something like this in Philly in the 80s.
if your building had "footage"...and the NYPD actually cared about a non-violent theft, with "detectives" no less....wow....well we would assume you were living in a pretty "uptown" neighborhood.

where we lived, there were of course lots of "detectives", but they had a single purpose which was to arrest black people for drug possession. Other than murders, that was pretty much it.
Great question! You prompted me to experiment.

I'm afraid you're right. I previously thought that my authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator (MSA), was taking advantage of the feature that banking apps use where it could detect that a biometric was updated (Finger added / Face added) and clear stored credentials in that case, meaning that it could only unlock credentials with the actual face that saved them.

Well, I was wrong. Holding my thumb over the face sensors twice yields an "Enter passcode" prompt which unlocks MSA. I assume Google Authenticator does the same. Just reinforces how thoroughly compromised you are if that single 6-digit code gets shoulder-surfed. facepalm

Note: I'm assuming the reason MS and Google made this choice is that since sync was added later (a few years ago for MS and this week for Google), if they did the secure thing which is technically to self-destruct all your keys if you've altered your biometrics, this would mean that a simple redo of your face scan or adding a finger would lose all your TOTPs, because there was not a fall-back password or something that secured those apps.

So I guess perhaps a more secure solution in this situation is 1Password? Because with that, if you can't pass Face ID, you'd have to enter your master 1pw key which hopefully nobody knows or can guess.
I'm not saying I can pull it off, I'm just saying that "solidarity between these groups will never happen" is hard to justify.

We've only been doing this whole widespread-global-communication thing for a few decades, who knows what'll happen in the next few.
ChatGPT response: Infinity is not considered an odd or even number. In mathematics, odd and even are properties of integers, which are finite numbers. Infinity, on the other hand, is not a number in the usual sense. It is a concept that represents an unbounded or limitless quantity. Therefore, the concepts of odd and even do not apply to infinity.

What value is an open standard if it can only be useful if you use an implementation from a large corporation. It’s a basic fact that email is only useful if your intended recipient can receive your message. If corporate gatekeepers are restricting valid usage outside of their walls, then it ceases to be an open standard. It’s like the difference between source available and open source.
You still build equity (read: wealth) with a mortgage even with 0 appreciation. The expectation of infinite housing appreciation needs to stop.
Wouldn't the notification that an AirTag is located somewhere in the vehicle they're thinking of stealing deter them from stealing it?
Today I was asked by a coworker, "why don't you use chatgpt." He had just asked me a question that chatgpt had failed to answer to satisfaction. I was able to find a complete and strongly justified answer within 30 seconds. But I suspect he'll continue using the tool. I'll continue thinking for myself.
In the case of AirTags, Apple simply does not have that information to give:

> Devices that relay the location of your AirTag also stay anonymous, and that location data is encrypted every step of the way. So not even Apple knows the location of your AirTag or the identity of the device that helps find it.

They can be compelled to spy on you. They have also clearly put systems in place that make it very hard or impossible for them to do so without re-architecting their entire ecosystem of devices

Running a startup is in many ways not much different than writing a blog post about running a startup. There will be no shortage of opinions from friends and investors on the direction of your blog post about running a startup. Sometimes your opening paragraph winds up being very different than the middle section, and you need to be open to that. You will be tested in ways you never thought possible, as your runway narrows and you race to publish your effort to the world. In the end, the blog post about running a startup is not just your journey, but that of the many people who trusted you to bravely steer the ship towards a successful blog post.

It is true that Africans can band together in movements, that's how they forced Europeans out.

It also true, those 'collective movements' don't necessarily result in good outcomes. Look at Kenya on the map. To the east is Somalia, to the north is Ethiopia, South Sudan, Sudan, all countries locked in civil war between different 'collective movements'.

The big opportunity for Africa in the AI era, is to use AIs to serve local healthcare/education/software development needs. There weren't many teachers/doctors/SE engineers etc to begin with, so they have little to lose from mass deploying AI.
