I've had a mailbox.org account for the last 6 years, and have had a couple custom domains linked to it.

I honestly can't say I've ever received any SPAM. Not sure what they're doing on their end, but it's been seem less.

I get chills when I see someone's gmail opened on a browser and they have 4,000 unread messages in their ads folder.
France is going shit in this regard as do most developed countries, that's true, but my friend if you want to equate US and FR when it comes to diet and results on current population, they are not in the same league, heck its a different universe. French are much more conscious about quality of the food, fine taste and other aspects that cheap junk food doesn't provide.

Walk around any french town, you will see crowds of tall, slender thin people with few overweight folks. Sports are a priority and source of pride, alpinism, climbing or paragliding are deemed as national sports, not some extreme fringe stuff for few adrenaline junkies. Do the same exercise randomly in US, and chances are very good what you will see will be dramatically different. That being said, there are (were at least in 2003) many faces of US - I've spent that summer working blue collar jobs in US as part of work&travel programme US was providing, and already LA was exactly as we discuss. Then I moved to rural Maine and it was night & day, I've met maybe 5 fat people in 5 weeks spent there (but its true racial diversity back there was 0, I've seen 1 black guy in 5 weeks and maybe 2-3 of asian origin, rest looked just like they arrived from Scandinavia).

But judging by various articles and feedback from friends that Maine experience was much less common than LA one, and over time even more so. US portions are simply needlessly big and often unhealthy. The logic is to eat till full, instead of just warding off hunger and enjoying few very finely tasting bites.

GPT at this point is more than an LLM, it is a baseline layer of logic using the underlying transformer technology. This will be challenging to replicate without the same size of data sets

Which other tooling allows you to import a `.ts` file from a `.js` import? Not knowing much about the issue, this seems like a rather strange decision to me: If I'm importing a `.js` file, and it does not exist, I'd prefer an error message rather than the sort of magic that you're suggesting: "Oh, but I found a `.ts` file with the same name, so let me just go ahead, transpile the file to JavaScript and let you import the result!" That's rather unexpected IMHO.
A friend made me a copy of Robyn Hitchcock’s “Black Snake Diamond Röle” when I was 16 or so. Totally floored me, it’s imprinted on my brain.

It was re-released a few years ago, but the opening track is missing the sax because they no longer could find the master tapes with it. The song on Spotify and new pressings is just not the same at all.

That’s my reason for always buying a physical copy if I can.
Not so much code, but there was a shell script I wrote at a former company about a decade ago as a quick stop-gap to validate static file checksums in Akamai against a code deployment manifest and AFAIK it is still being used today and I don't even work there any more. It's just bash so it should be hopefully maybe super easy to fix when it breaks.
Not in any realistic scenario, no.
My experience is the same, and yet I am not surprised that it still scores better than the average physician.
I call it “appointment listening.”

Dedicating time to listen to a specific album. My kids may never understand it. An album is an interesting art form, it captures a few pieces of time: when it was made and then then it was consumed. The cover art and liner art. The order of the songs. All assembled with intention. There are albums I’ve heard hundreds of time and I will still hear little new bits I never quite noticed before.

I do love digital music and having it everywhere, but it is special to just listen and take it I’m.

I have treatable cancer.

ChatGPT has been helpful for fairly in-depth research, as well as answering questions I don’t want to bother my oncologist with.

Actually, I prefer it to be less empathetic and more robotic with its answers. When it tries to be empathetic it goes beyond what I’ve asked it and sprinkles on typical safety filter bs.

In contrast my oncologist could be a bit more empathetic. This person directs your care, and if they do so in a way that seems like a black box it can be rather scary. They know enough about me, with all of their experience, to be a “helpful human” in a difficult situation.
Right, because Linux users are famously content to accept OS defaults and have no interest in tool selection or customizing their setup.

I guess that can called a form of reasoning, LLMs are much more general in their reasoning abilities though
Good thing then that I specifically mentioned gpt as being able to follow instruction and that I was specifically mentioning the other models.

You're welcome to demonstrate the same ability on other models tho.

Interestingly I bet the kill thinkers killed fewer than the ad thinkers. Ads make people buy more stuff. More stuff makes people fat and unhealthy and sad and increase the mortality rate.
The thing is, if the software erroneously marks a submission as dead, someone like myself might happen to spot it, check out the link, hit past listed on the submission stub as well as searching out similar topics in case it was recently posted ... for me if it looks legit and not a blatant rehash site's content, vouch for the topic.

The software seems annoying but it stops the site turning into spam central without a great deal of work.
Of course superhuman intelligence might be dismissed as outlandish science fiction technology which is far away. But three years ago ChatGPT-4 or Midjourney V5 were also outlandish science fiction technology.

I actually really question this, was it truly outlandish to imagine what we have now? We had Google, Stackoverflow etc, yes there new elements to it, the data was there and accessible, but I don't think LLMs are unimaginable?

We do? I am not. I know several others working at other places, and none of them are. I'm sure somebody is, but not anyone I know.
Based on how things are unfolding in stable diffusion land, we're going to see general purpose base models that are then fine tuned for specific tasks using LoRAs that can be quickly loaded/unloaded as needed.
This is obviously bunk, but I'm sure these people do exist, because I was previously one of them (in a pre-Spotify era).

I felt guilty for pirating some of my favourite albums, so I bought them on vinyl because it seemed cool to get a tangible, physical representation of my contribution. Meanwhile I continued to listen to the FLAC's.

Humans also take a while to learn how to use concepts that they might be able to remember an answer to, though. Also keep in mind that LLMs have a limited time to produce each token and can’t “stop to think” like a human could. Obviously LLMs aren’t as good as reasoning as humans but they clearly do some (possibly quite limited) form of reasoning

Coming back to split - checked, thanks!

For me, who prefers having separate windows, not splitting by means of terminal (splitting in tmux on rare occasions though), it's natural to act those independent on selection, giving me visual hint on what I was working on - I see it more as advantage.

It'd be nice if there was a directory of well known good email servers that you need to pay to register. The payment aspect should be enough to keep spammers away. Then, companies like Google would have less of a justification to implement these practices that end up hurting small players.

Good that there are farmers like your family. By no means did I want to point to any individual's family, and certainly didn't say that this is the only way.

For the rest, unfortunately, as any mammal, cows only start producing milk when they become pregnant, and then stop later. Since feeding and raising the calves are more expensive than selling them for their meat, they rather do that on bigger / profit optimized farms. This procedure is hard to be thought of ethical.

Other farms also keep a breed that was already "genetically engineered" to simply produce more milk (called diary cows/diary cattle). Probably less extreme, ethically still challengable.

I live in Switzerland and this is one of the hot topics w.r.t. animal exploitation / sustainable farming and food production.

So next time you find yourself in the unlucky situation you have to eat someone other's / mass produced diary product, you might want to take this into consideration. Solution? Not yet, to my knowledge. Systematic problems would need systematic solution.
That’s an exaggeration but even so MP3 distortion isn’t a low-pass filter. There’s one specific problem with it encoding sounds like cymbals but that’s not a function of bitrate.

The sad irony here is that using a format which hasn’t been obsolete for a couple decades would have had better audio at a lower bitrate.
Because a research paper claimed that they believe it's a basic and incomplete AGI. However, said paper then goes on to actually say LLMs aren't the way forward if people bother to read it.

One comment on HN called it a "baby AGI" after linking to the paper.

This is incredible software with a small caveat: some apps can't be mirrored -- the ones which show blank on the task switcher view. This is more of an OS limitation than scrcpy's fault.
"C programs crashing is a fact of life. If anything goes wrong the operating system kicks them out" is _very_ bad advice for someone learning C. The introduction reads

> This book is for anyone wanting to learn C, or who has once wondered how to build their own programming language.

which I interpret as having "design a language" as another goal. Arguably the book succeeds at building a programming language, but it mangles the theory in unhelpful ways, e.g. lexical scoping isn't a static analysis per chapter 16, nor is parsing the consumption of an abstract syntax tree per chapter 10.

This year it was heating up, making noise, and battery life was crap. I though I was going to hand it down to someone who needs it more, and replaced the battery - and the issue was gone!

To this day, its quet (outside of gaming) and works well. Was there a short in the battery generating heat? who knows.
This definitely sounds impressive, but could it be that you "learned" how to describe the symptoms over time in a way that makes it easier to arrive at the correct diagnosis?

It could also be that knowing the correct diagnosis changes your description to highlight things in a way that suggests the correct outcome. I believe doctors are also susceptible to that effect.

I'm not trying to imply that doctors should not do a better job diagnosing. People should not have to "learn" to find the right doctor, or how to operate them. It's a crying shame that people like you have to go on years-long journeys to get correct help, and I'm sorry that you and your wife had to go through that.

Just saying it might be slightly more apples-to-apples to compare ChatGPT's performance to the last couple of physicians you saw, and not the whole lot of them. But again, that's still a very favorable comparison for the non-human.

I'm a professional musician who makes a good portion of my "living" selling recorded music. You use the same mix for all mediums but need to master differently for vinyl. (Mix refers to levels of individual microphones, mastering is the frequency levels of the finished mix)
I'm sure some people master different for digital outlets, but we don't. Regarding profitability,it's so much easier to sell vinyl than cds it's a challenge keeping them in stock, and pretty much every vinyl plant on earth is backlogged right now. Also the return of an lp vs. spotify is orders of magnitude higher; our Spotify income is barely quantifiable. (maybe bc we didn't specially master for it ha?)

Never used Kali linux myself, but from what i read it's pretty much a debian with some applications preinstalled and (i guess) some artwork customized (i'm gonna guess: wallpapers, icons etc).

there's no real difference between running debian and running kali linux.
For some reason (about 6 months ago) I started receiving about 100-150 spam emails a day on my iCloud account. Nearly all gets correctly classified and moved to the spam folder. But now I have to scan through 100s of emails to check for false positives… this does take a non-trivial amount of time, especially when you’re too busy to do this for a week or so… it builds up quickly. Anyone have a good strategy to cope with this problem?

I asked ChatGPT4 about the longest living organisms on Earth
There are several organisms known for their exceptional longevity. Some of the longest living organisms on Earth include:

Pando (Quaking aspen): Pando is a clonal grove of quaking aspen trees (Populus tremuloides) located in Utah, United States. It is a single organism with a massive underground root system that spans over 106 acres (43 hectares). Pando is estimated to be at least 80,000 years old, making it one of the oldest known living organisms.

Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva): These trees are among the oldest individual living organisms on Earth. Some of these trees have been dated to be over 4,800 years old. The oldest known living bristlecone pine, named Methuselah, is estimated to be more than 4,800 years old.

Antarctic sponge (Anoxycalyx joubini): This deep-sea sponge found in the Southern Ocean is estimated to live for more than 15,000 years, making it one of the longest living animals on Earth.

Ocean quahog clam (Arctica islandica): A specimen of this clam species, named Ming, was found to be 507 years old when it was collected in 2006. This makes the ocean quahog one of the longest living individual animals.

Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus): This shark species is known for its slow growth and long lifespan. Researchers have estimated that some Greenland sharks can live for more than 400 years, making them the longest living vertebrates on Earth.

These are just a few examples of the remarkably long-lived organisms found on our planet.

Yeah I agree with this. The tool is not the product or profession.
Thought it was the soviets to first "land" a ship on the moon. Remember they had a lot of internal dicussions on if the Moon had a solid surface.
These speculative articles are always amusing to read.

Nobody knows how even the current generation of LLMs work (at the plumbing layer, sure, but the high-level behavior is a complete mystery).

Yet there is an endless stream of opinion pieces telling us what future LLMs won't be able to do.

Here's the most truthful 'article' on AI you will ever read: "We have no idea where we are, and we have no idea where we are going."

I struggle to understand why this is so incredibly hard to admit for some people.
Do you have good examples of an LLM reasoning, i.e., using a concept it explains and giving an answer outside of its training data on something that has a clearly defined correct answer?
The difference between cigarettes and pipe smoking? I agree, anything having rituals are going to be personally moving... or... spiritual.
This isn't really an argument against what I said. You can pick and choose your shell language based on preference for syntax. You generally learn a human language because you have to for one reason or another. I think bash has an unintuitive syntax, and I think powershell's is more readable
I am a bit insane and sometimes I like to challenge myself by donning an unusual outfit, e.g. walking through the city with a wolf mask.

Once I tried it with an aluminium hat, that caught a lot of stares, made others take pictures and talk to me.

I did not notice a reduced degree of mind control, probably because I am naturally resistant anyways.
3.5, I believe. But it's not like they make it easy to know which one you're using.
> you have to zero out your velocity at exactly the right moment.

Not quite. You can compensate with a landing gear that can survive your terminal speed going to zero very quickly and absorb the extra energy.

The math is much simpler on the Moon because there is no atmosphere.

I recently tried this with my old Huawei phone which had a broken screen but also a bunch of photos I would've wanted to save locally. It wouldn't even show up on `adb devices` let alone the programs that relied on adb IIUC. I even tried tapping the sequence for my code on the broken screen, as well as trying to turn on voice control to manually unlock the phone, but that didn't work either. I would be happy to give it another try though.
You should not look in to their other project then, gnitehtet[1]. It's a reverse tethering app named "tethering" in reverse. These two apps have saved my butt more times than I can count, so they can all it whatever they want for all I care.

I mention this all the time.

I wanted GPT to give me an NGINX config for Active Collab as we're previously using Apache, and thus an htaccess file. I fed it all the documentation from Active Collab, I couldn't get anything valid out of it. Hallucinated all kinds of things that weren't there. I then gave it the URL rewrites that would be required, line-by-line, spent a long time trying to correct it. No bueno, even worse hallucination. I spent days on trying to get it to output a valid NGINX config that incorporated these URL rewrites. It can't reason, it's doing exactly what LLMs do, which is next word prediction.

I can't imagine what people are using it for in terms of a valuable addition to their workflow with how much it hallucinates. If it can't even do an NGINX config, what use is it for anything else? People saying it's helping them learn programming languages. Fuck me, they don't know when it's wrong, and it will be wrong at some point, it's an LLM.
> With trains and bikes and walkable cities, you can achieve far far higher densities of interesting destinations, with a <40minute travel time. There is really no comparison.

If your interests and hobbies are limited to bars, restaurants and your yoga studio then yes. I lived in a dense and walkable city, with (most likely) the best public transit in the world, and I felt like I'm trapped in slums.

YMMV, but for me a car is freedom.
This is almost certainly a fabrication, written more than a century after Christ – possibly a century after the Gospel of John – without any clear connection to St Thomas the Apostle or any of the other apostles. Early Christian leaders denied its authority.

The earliest New Testament books were St Paul's letters, dating within a decade or so of the crucifixion & resurrection, and the earliest Christian creed – quoted in 1 Corinthians – dates to likely within a year of Christ rising from the dead. The Gospels were written down within the next few decades: from Mark being penned within a couple decades to John being penned about 60 years later.
