There is no mention on your page, or the wiki, that antibiotics are the cause the resistant bacteria.

I can logically see why we would believe this, but you'd expect given the use of antibiotics on the farm and in non US pharmacies; we'd have such a superbug scientifically proven by now.
What does it seem to think that "humanity's greatest problem" is exactly? What if you explicitly tell it that overpopulation is not a problem?
If you think that Berlin's zone system is complex, you haven't seen the public transport in many other cities like Munich which has 6 zones or Japanese cities where trains are operated by different companies.

Berlin's system is rather simple and comparably cheap.
I know anecdotes aren't data, but I would not be surprised if this was hitting close to the truth.

I had a friend who had RA starting in her teens and was on very heavy medication for it, with no real hope of improvement. In her mid-20s she changed her diet significantly -- I think she went gluten free, maybe it was some other restriction. I thought it was silly TBH, why would changing what you eat affect arthritis?

After about 6 months her RA was entirely in remission and she was off all of her medication. As far as I know has not recurred. I can very easily imagine that dramatic diet changes affect the gut biome and could have tipped the scales to make her gut less hospitable for specific causes of RA. I hope so!

Thanks for the clarifications. Token summation is a cool optimization :)

Query optimizers in SQL database systems typically optimize based on the time to execute the function on a local server. The token summation optimization generalizes time-based optimization of local functions to dollar-based optimization for remote functions.

Execution Time-based optimization:
FunctionFoo(input 1) = 2x FunctionFoo(input 2)

Dollar-based optimization:
ChatGPT(prompt with 100 tokens) = 2x ChatGPT(prompt with 50 tokens)

We are also exploring dollar-based optimization in EVA, and will check out your openai-to-sqlite tool for ideas [1].

Every transit system should have a “tourist day pass” that is moderately expensive but allows you to use anything for 24 hours or so.
First, what's a brogrammer job?

Pretty much most industry work these days.

I agree the term is vague (as used here), but what I think the commenter means is "same old, same old". In the interview process, every company talks about how picky they are about hiring, and how special everyone is who works there. And then you get in there and it's the same sloth and pretentiousness (and not too infrequently, just plain bad interpersonal behavior) as everywhere else.

And the same productivity-killing open plan office, too.
Do you mean that the airport is outside of Germany? Or what else is "federal state border"? And what is a S-Bahn ring anyways?

I visit Germany often and yet this makes no sense to me. Don't assume it's so simple for everyone.
Ironically, they probably even did that (depending on their implementation of std::random_device).

The problem is what they did with that random seed once they had retrieved it (i.e. seed a non-cryptographic Mersenne Twister with only 32 bits of it).
I think the problem with these kinds of posts is that they miss the fundamental fact that humans are so different from each other.

The hobbyist who coded from age 10 because they just enjoy solving super complex problems will be helpful for fixing that thorny bug but may not be the right person to work with a Product Manager to break down an ambiguous project and launch something fast.

A team will necessarily contain lots of different kind of people and I think managers should be looking to understand what a candidates strengths will be (and red flags) and ask themselves if this person could achieve the needs of the team.
Why use quotes with ambiguous words when you can just use unambiguous words? Small vocabulary or what?

If you use impossible in quotes to mean something that's NOT impossible but surprising or unexpected, why not just say that?
This reminds me of a book I read a while back where a CIA guy was talking about problems they had with a newer generation of officers.

IIRC, one of the field officers was interviewing another female officer's agent (agent being the local national spy) and when they got on the topic of the work he had done with female officer, he said "We haven't done anything, all she does is try to convert me to christianity". She was removed thereafter.

Seems to me that a secular mind is probably best for the objective reasoning required for areas like the FBI, CIA.
> 13 physical education students

Honestly I do not see how such study can lead to any conclusion besides that more studies are necessary. The problem is not even the low N, but extreme bias of participant selection. I.e. the conclusion that high-ankle could be worse is only applies to students of physical educations. One just cannot generalize it beyond the given group.

That's the bottom end of the windspeed of an F1 (weakest grade) tornado.

I have no doubt the architecture of choice of people's who lived in the steppe regions of Central Asia, a place where extreme winds are pretty common, would obviously need to be able to handle these winds but it still feels hard to believe that an amateur yurt builder could get one able to withstand a weak tornado on their first build...

> The announcement mentions you do need it when announcing the stop. By then it is prob too late, though.

Not on all lines. If I remember correctly, I have only heard it on the new announcements for the BER airport. And, they actually tell you on time so you have a chance to buy an extension ticket.
Exactly.

The new ticket is an excellent example of when national government can be superior to more local government: when the national government forces coordination to solve fragmentation problems, where local agencies lacked the...motivation to solve things on their own.

On a technical level, it was always possible for different transit agencies to cooperate to simplify things for consumers, but they didn't, and likely never would, at least not on this level. A complex system per locality can still work okay for local residents; and if it's painful for visitors, well, visitors don't vote, and it's not the kind of thing that's likely to kill tourism.
I'm pointing out that you're eating propaganda which is unhealthy for your mind.

It is just like pointing out that eating processed foods leads to physical obesity.

That isn't shaming, that's advice.
There is a well understood relationship between running economy and small changes in shoe weight which lead to important changes. So even if shoe weight had no important impact on jumping performance it will save significant energy over the course of a game to shave even grams off of a shoe.

The reason for this is running involves accelerating the foot, then decelerating it, over and over, and the shoe is at the end of that pendulum motion. Not to mention lifting it against gravity as well.
Unless it's a USB power adapter - which is a good choice, btw - I'd be very wary about what's coming out of that 5V no-name wall wart. That power can look like ass and not be close to 5V. If you're doing that an LDO isn't a bad choice.
That is indeed scary, bit I think you missed GP's point (if I understand correctly): ai-powered military robots will kill us all, as we won't be able to contain them.

Police states look benign in comparison, don't you think?
I would prefer that too.

The more people are exposed to the true cost of housing, the more likely they are to care about it.

I also don’t think it’s an intrinsic good that people own their homes. Looks what it has done in places like CA where nothing gets built anymore.
It will never go away because TSA === lots of jobs. That being said, they have created a pay to win system now. Sick of long lines and taking off your shoes? TSA Pre check is a few hundred dollars and now you can skip those lines.

Sick of long TSA Pre check? Clear just might be the option for you!

Travel internationally often? Global entry could be your for a low low price.

It's honestly frustrating because its a pretty clear pay more and have a better experience system that feels really gross since its all supposed to be about security.
We clearly need to ask chatgpt to write a model for the prompt helper model.
Eh, the local LLM models (and not just 6B ones but 13B and 30B) out there are actually pretty good these days for chatbots and AI Dungeon-like uses. Maybe not ChatGPT4 quality, but certainly on the level of ChatGPT3 and on normal consumer hardware. Sure, I'm sure there's private cutting edge stuff out there better than this, but most of the benefit isn't that they have better models but that they have large compute farms.
And not lose money unpredictably? Do tell. (I realize 4% is less than inflation)
I get it.

But what I’m saying is that when you walk up to someone and say “sorry turn off that gas stove” and then they go and read an article like this [1] you will not just get inaction you’ll get outright action against solving the problem.

So yea, we won’t see much in the way of serious action because the general public does not see the justice in making changes or sacrifices even though they should and will bear the worst of the consequences.

> Citing two prominent Mormon apologist foundations

Um, I think you're confusing MormonThink and MormonR for "FAIR" or the "BoM Foundation". They're two "middle-way" sources that try to balance the knife's edge of giving just enough of the negative-yet-factual information that faith is still possible, as opposed to something like the CES Letter which is a compendium of pretty much every negative-yet-factual piece of information that, in total, make faith in the organization pretty much impossible for the average member who reads it. But they're definitely not apologetic sites, they're just more of a "shallow water" approach than a "throw you in the deep end of the pool" approach.
Why not remove the pricing table or add a note about that then? It’s not great having it there if it’s incorrect, especially after an announcement.
How would you take into account Vienna in the denseness and cheapness dimensions?

The majority of “investments”, as in loans granted by banks, are people with fixed assets buying more fixed assets, such as real estate. The innovators, mom & pops, farmers etc who take a loan for a venture are the minority. Makes sense for the capital holder. Why take risks when cornering markets is much safer?
stripe does not allow adult content. here is from their website

Adult Content
Adult content is legal where I am selling it, why can’t I use Stripe?

We understand that your business may be legal, but for now, due to various reasons including requirements that apply to Stripe as a payment processor, requirements from our financial partners, and the potential risk exposure to Stripe, we're currently not able to work with businesses that sell or offer adult content or services.

Stop saying things only for the sake of saying things. Onlyfans is not a payment processor
Even if it didn’t slow the price increases - just the fact that building more housing means that more people get to live where they want to live- isn’t that a good thing and enough reason to build?

And as you said, the neighbourhood gets improved - isn’t that a good thing?

Or are you saying that the solution to the housing crisis is to make cities as inhospitable as possible such that people are forced to live in the countryside?

Have you considered the effects that dense cities have on the ecological footprint, the welfare and the technological progress of a society?

Have you considered how allowing free movement - including into cities - increases human welfare and happiness?
I’m not convinced that inventing back propagation gives one the authority to opine on more general technological/social trends. Frankly, many of the most important questions are difficult or impossible to know. In the case of neural networks, Hinton himself would never have become as famous were it not for one of those trends (the cost of GPU compute and the breakthrough of using GPUs for training) which was difficult or impossible to foresee.

In an alternate universe, NNs are still slow and compute limited, and we use something like evolutionary algorithms for solving hard problems. Hinton would still be just as smart and backpropagation still just as sound but no one would listen to his opinions on the future of AI.

The point is, he is quite lucky in terms of time and place, and giving outsized weight to his opinions on matters not directly related to his work is a fairly clear example of survivorship bias.

Finally, we also shouldn’t ignore the fact that Hinton’s isn’t the only well-credentialed opinion out there. There are other equally if not more esteemed academics with whom Hinton is at odds. Him inventing backpropagation is good enough to get him in the door to that conversation, but doesn’t give him carte blanche authority on the matter.
What if something bad is much easier to achieve than it’s countermeasure?

Goldman's recent earnings report said they were taking a bath on their foray into the consumer sector, having lost $3B in the process, with a half a billion on consumer loans alone.* I don't imagine they'd be doing the Apple bank account if they weren't contractually obligated. Or maybe they just think there's a hope for some Apple pixie dust.

I mean that whitelist-style, which isn't a losing strategy.

But that's a side issue. I'm trying to argue that the vast majority of programs that use webkit aren't affected by the vast majority of webkit-specific bugs.

> But it doesn't matter what proportion of the app ecosystem is or is not using the system webkit framework, we both know that if Apple does update only Safari say, and then people are compromised through their RSS reader, the HN comments will be asking why Apple didn't update the system framework.

I'm not suggesting not to update. But yes it does matter how many programs are vulnerable.
> One is underfunding, which causes a lack of reliability, and plenty of lines that are overused.

Errm, you do see the contradiction here, no?

The 49 Euro ticket is actually heavily subsidized which means more tax payer money is wasted that could be invested into the infrastructure of public transport.
It should be renamed "minifund" given how small the fund is today and how few sites they actually clean up

The reinstatement of the excise tax in 2022 may actually be harmful to its own environment. It's an import tax on crude oil, which will encourage the domestic oil industry leading to an importing of pollution.

This is exhibit A of how the media in the US and Europe misrepresent China. The fact that you think this is how things were perfectly illustrates the problem. If zero-CoVID had really meant endless lockdowns, Chinese people wouldn't have put up with the policy for nearly 3 years.

There were lockdowns in China, but they were limited in time, and before mid-2022, they were relatively rare (as in, nobody I knew was subject to one after CoVID was eliminated in China in March-April 2020). For most of 2020-21, life in China was more normal than in the US and Europe.
Though its a current trend, these high stack running shoes have been around for over a decade. My running group has oscillated between this style of shoe (Hoka), NB, Brooks, and minimalist shoes. I've ran over 1,000 miles in all the major brands, the Hokas are really comfortable. I've also had severe rolled ankles because I primarily run trails. I'd say my last injury in Hokas on trail was on par with a similar injury using Merrell/Vibram sole minimalist shoes. I haven't had an IT band injury recurrence in the Hokas yet and I am approaching over 2K miles between street and trail running so as far as that goes I'm happy with them. (As any runner who is addicted to running knows, IT band injuries are the absolute worst and its important to do everything you can do to avoid them, except of course running.)
You are so narrowly fixated on this one specific domain which is an edge case with LLMs.

ChatGPT was trained specifically to solve "natural language understanding tasks".

You are missing the forest for the trees and ignoring everything else it's good at solving outside of its training set.

The emergent properties of neural networks should not be so casually dismissed.

You're arguing that since its not perfect at arithmetic reasoning then its not capable of any degree of reasoning in any domain. That is an oversimplification and just doesn't make logical sense.
See the LLM demo from Palantir the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEM5qz__HOU
When you're running over 2 miles a game, ounces count. Every step you take is you lifting that extra weight in the shoe. Let's say you're 6'3" and you run 2.54 miles a game at a jogging pace. That's 4559 steps. If your shoe weighs 2.5 ounces more, then you've lifted over 700 additional pounds by the end of a game. All additional weight is going to take its toll.
The issue is that the ML stuff is so bleeding edge and paradigm breaking that no set of prior credentials is really a valid mark for being right or wrong about this, especially those with traditional college research background.

The best way to describe this issue is with a hypothetical scenario:

A well respected Ph.D Physicist comes out with a paper that describes a warp drive that can be used to travel faster than light. He hands the paper to very talented multi disciplinary engineer that has built everything from small micro circuits to spaceships. Engineer says: "Ok this is cool, what do I need to do to start building this?". Researches says "Ok so first, you need to find some negative mass and gather it". Engineer says: "How do I do that"? Researcher answers: "I dont know, but once you do, find a way to arrange it into a ring around the spaceship".

Its the same story with AI. Just because someone has research experience doesn't mean that he/she knows how technology will evolve in the real world. There may be theories floating around about how AI development could cause danger, but without real concrete paths of what has to happen for those theories to come true - and without those paths, those theories remain theories.
So, this only accounts for headaches that make you less sexually active?

Lots of cultures do this, different asian sub-ethnicities, Jewish people, immigrants. You know who don't seem to do it much in my experience (and should), African Americans. I am opposed to nepotism personally, but I see it happen so much that I think everyone should take a crack at it if they can.
