Because of my past, I carry around a big pile of financial anxiety. The past few years of political and economic tumult have been really difficult for that even though thankfully I'm currently in a great economic position. But, paradoxically, the better I am financially, the more stressed I feel because I just have more to lose. Anxiety is a bitch.

Either way, my impression of the article is that by "weird", the author doesn't mean "risky" or "impulsive" like you're inferring. I interpreted it to mean more along the lines of "wouldn't be appealing or resonating to many other folks." Something that appeals strongly to your own particular quirks and felicities.

Lots of people would want to take a few weeks in Costa Rica if they got laid off. And after Pollan's "How to Change Your Mind" there are a hell of a lot of people taking psychedelic trips. That's not particularly weird.

Weird would be more like getting laid off and deciding to make a go at becoming a full time poet.
So all the advertising that demands your attention on a daily basis has no effect? Even subconscious?

I had a fairly similar experience with winter depression being cured by 10,000IU Vitamin D3 daily.

I wouldn't say it's the single solution, which might be because my depression wasn't limited by season. I'm speaking in the past tense because my depression is largely managed by diet and exercise (rock climbing). The diet aspect is basically covered by the AFS in Table 2 here[1], with some additional natural probiotics (frequent yogurt and occasional kombucha).

Like you, I basically figured this out with some luck in stumbling across information, some self-experimentation, and little help from medical professionals. What little help I did receive was in NY. In TN where I currently reside, I likely would not have received even that help, because medical care is unaffordable for most people. Additionally, there are an inordinate number of horror stories here about prescribers getting people onto a huge number of medications--this seems to particularly happen to young women who aren't comfortable advocating for themselves. I suspect this is due to pharmaceutical kickbacks, but haven't found any data to back that hypothesis up.

I'm not even arguing kids shouldn't have a phone at all (OP is talking about during school hours), but even so - why would you ever expect the office to do that? Communicate with your parent/child before school to make a plan or establish a routine for meetups as was done for decades before smartphones.

It's a fig leaf rationale to keep phones in children's pockets during class.
Welp, I guess it can't hurt to ask:

The thing is that personal politics don't end up being a personal thing because they result in real policies that guide real material outcomes.

At this point saying one is uninterested in living in a red state could be about party politics, but it also could just as much about not being inclined to subject onesself to starkly higher risks of being shot and killed (the outcome of someone's personal politics).

> In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates (homicides and suicides) three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades.
I think this is a generous usage of "can." As the article admits, these explanations are 'imperfect' and I think that is definitely true.

I haven't yet read this paper, but other multimodal models have different layers for mapping the input/output of each modality to the common embedding space. So, to simplify, there is some high-dimensional coordinate that the audio sample for the morphemes for "frog," the text word "frog" and maybe the same in multiple languages like, "rana" - they all basically have the same point in the abstract feature space. The additional layers of the model then provide "translation"
That's probably one of the reasons why you'd use GPT-4 to explain GPT-2.

Of course, if you were trying to use GPT-4 to explain GPT-4 then I think the Gödel incompleteness theorem would be more relevant, and even then I'm not so sure.
These companies are platforms for users communicating with each other. We shouldn't stand for corp policies medelling with our messages. Imagine if they squash messages critical of the platform, or allowed fast food chains to pay to squash any posts saying their food is unhealthy.
It's about as hard to remove a single data point from an LLM as it is to remove a single memory from a human brain.

OpenAI doesn't remove data from the trained models, they filter it at the output level. They also remove it from training data, but of course the model lives on.

I'm a strong supporter of a "do not encode" header / metadata on content that allows individuals, content creators and providers to tell AIs not to encode specific text / images / documents in the first place.

I don’t think you received great answers besides New York. I myself am trying to move from SF to New York. The reality is that in the US New York is the only city that seems livable if you are not a car. Chicago is the only one I can think of that’s dense and has life as a pedestrian, but the winter there is intense. It’s too bad because real estate is cheap there.

And when you hear me saying we have a "Police State" that is why. And it has crept up on us very slowly, that we didn't notice.

It is total bullshit. The US unemployment rate stands at 3.4%, which I believe is the second lowest since we've been counting it. For the record, the lowest unemployment ever was 2.5% in May of 1953.

Here's the author's blurb: Gene Marks is a columnist, author and small business owner. His company, the Marks Group PC, provides technology and financial management services to SMBs in the US and abroad.

Fun true story. I had a professor in university who only had 1 finger on 1 hand. He would plan out whole programs in his head, debug them mentally (step the code afaik), and then when he knew exactly what he wanted to write, he'd sit down and pluck away at his keyboard, one effortful keypress at a time.

He was productive and smart enough to do it, and I think it's a great exercise for engineers to at least try a few times. Try to think about what you're going to write before you even open your editor. Try to break down the strategy into a recipe of things that can be done in about hundred lines each or so. Then sit down and type it out.
A very interesting thing to do would be to prove that an LLM model could output your personal details, then request that as an EU citizen you would like to invoke your right to be forgotten. It'd be very interesting to see what kind of interpretability and re-training research could come out of attempting to avoid situations in which you ossify data into the model, specifically due to wanting to avoid legal repercussions.

We are seeing both improved efficiencies and smaller models getting better. The pace of improvements is unreal. I would expect in the next few years we will have something on par and open source.
The federal Assault Weapons ban started in 1994 and ran for 10 years.

Assault Rifles have universal background checks complete with fingerprints, a multi-month waiting period, and a $200 transfer tax - and have since the 1930s. No new assault rifles have been available for civilian purchase in almost 40 years.
I'll do you one better, I just started the App store on the Mac to check whether they've implemented the same model there. The only music I make is analog, but I'd have liked to try it out for a few bucks.

> What's wrong with your kids being LGBT? Why wouldn't you support that?

There is nothing wrong with your kids being LGBT. I believe you are misunderstanding HDThoreaun. They are talking about why they wouldn't want to live in a red state. Read their comment again with that context in mind.

It says if they were living in a red state they couldn't tell their LGTB child that they support the child. Presumably because HDThoreaun feels if they would really support said LGBT child they would move out of the red state.

It sounds like you read their hypothetical as if HDThoreaun has some problem with their kid being LGBT. I don't believe that was the intended message, quite the contrary in fact.

Yes. Besides the grip (where the standard matters more), Japanese food culture emphasizes particular ways of picking things up. Stabbing a piece of food with your chopstick is considered poor manners.
Allen Steele's work isn't really all that similar, though I suppose Coyote and its sequels come closest. The authors I mentioned are much better bets.
I fall into video game binges rather easily, and what's been helping me a lot is a practice of intentionality & timers. It's a combination of advice from my psychiatrist and therapist, and it's pretty straightforward.

Before doing a thing - particularly things I can easily lose myself in, like doom scrolling - I take a few moments and ask myself what I want out of that time, which naturally dovetails into how long I want to spend at it. Maybe it's ten minutes. Maybe it's three hours. Then I set a timer for that long, and when the timer goes off, (notionally) I halt, walk away from the thing for another few moments and re-evaluate. Maybe I go back. Maybe I don't. Maybe I go back after doing something else for a few minutes (say, loading a dishwasher).

One of the key bits it to not judge myself or my wants. If I want to binge Factorio for a day... like, alright. I'll do that, even if I know later-me won't like having done that. No judgment, no beating myself up about it.

Another key bit seems to be not not doing the thing. That's a hard fight. AFAICT it's one part awareness, one part wedging in some mental/emotional space to make choices inside the habit loop (stimulus -> response -> reward), and one part good old fashioned habit-loop interruption (AFAIK if you literally add breaths-worth of time to each step in the habit loop, it drastically diminishes the oomph of what's happening neurologically).

The magic seems to happen in two forms:

1. "Taking control of my time." - Even if I'm making the same choices, now, my experience is that I am making them, instead of "them" making me.

2. "Stopping before you're tired means you don't start the next thing exhausted". Previously I'd binge until I beyond exhausted my enjoyment of the thing. Now I have a way to do a thing while I'm enjoying it, and stop once I no longer am.

PS - I've also started wondering if this is whatever the hell people actually meant when they talked about "time management" when I was kid, but no-one actually ever explained.

You're still exaggerating. Streeteasy says median for Bushwick is $3200. Zumper has it at $2850 for a 1 bedroom https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/new-york-ny/bushwick

Yes, it's possible to rent for cheaper in the outer boroughs hence why I specifically said central and convenient. If something is $1800 it's because it's a dump or a tiny studio. It's not a normal amount rent someone is paying at all for their own place right now.

Show HN: An AI-Powered Audio Diary
Since Covid I've been working on an audio journal to help me get my thoughts out and log my days. I did a course of CBT and found that structuring my thoughts really did help me, but writing them down–especially on mobile–was really annoying. This app is certainly not CBT, but I did draw inspiration from that to build a structured journal that's very easy to use. I built 2 iterations, and when I built the second, GPT came into the limelight I thought it was such a great use-case and spent another few months building it into my app. I'm really pleased with the automatic analysis that GPT gives.

Anyway, please do try it out and let me know what you think!

> Frankly even that 1% will start to feel squeezed out by AI. Why hire a famous DM to write the next D&D campaign book(s) if you can get AI to do it

What makes you think this famous writer is in the 1%?

The writers they're talking about are the ones actually pioneering new genres, not the ones creating the n-th iteration of the same style.

Which is admittedly much fewer then 1%, but I think the point came across, at least to me.
Not bombcar, but I take it to mean that professionals have more resources they can pour into publicizing their stuff. It's not so much taking away amateurs' space as overwhelming amateurs' voices, thereby diminishing their power.
monitoring your use of company assets at home is plenty legal.

like, companies can force you to keep your camera on. they already track away time, number of keystrokes per hour, and can parse your MS Teams calls and provide transcripts -- they even do this for end users.

Legal Hold software already does this if you need to flag a user. It's not GPT-4 but you can get pretty good insights into what your workers are or are not doing.
The majority, or reasonably close to it, I imagine. The average American walks about 2 miles per day (about half what is considered the minimum recommended amount -- and half of what the average American child walks), and I rather suspect that most of the world walks more than the average american.
Yeah, I'd be curious to dig into the specifics of that research a little more. My gut is telling me that there may be other factors at play that could explain this sort of thing. People who respond quickly are likely also showing signs of eagerness -- nodding your head, smiling, saying "yeah" or "oh wow!", in ways that may communicate enthusiasm for the subject (even if it's really just eagerness to jump in and say what they want to say).

Sitting back and listening carefully may also be accompanied by body language suggesting being withdrawn or uninterested in engaging further -- even if they are, indeed, quite interested.

I'm just speculating at this point, and certainly I'm only talking about broad, generalized patterns. But I would expect body language is an important factor to account for in this sort of research.
With a pdf I don't have to update my PDF reader multiple times per month just to be able to read text.

A PDF is a text document that includes all the text, images, etc within it in the state you are going to perceive them. That web page is just barely even a document. None of it's contents are natively within it, it all requires executing remote code which pulls down more remote code to run just to get the actual text and images to display... which they don't in my browser. I just see an index with links that don't work and the the "Contributions" which for some reason was actually included as text.

Even as the web goes up it's own asshole in terms of recursive serial loading of javascript/json/whatever from unrelated domains and abandons all backwards compatibility, PDF, as a document, remains readable. I wish the web was still hyperlinked documents. The "application" web sucks for accessibility.
I find it fascinating. It's somewhere between a brilliant insight into the human species relationship with the other inhabitants of our planet and utter snake oil sold to new-agey people to be applied in utterly unsuitable conditions.

Scale makes a huge difference here. Early governments used more compromises like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimation_(punishment) rather than just killing thousands of people.

As to timing, it’s the same technological developments which resulted in large companies becoming common and being linked to government for the first time with new options for governmental control.

Radio, telegraph, calculators/computers, and trains allowed for much larger a more homogeneous organizations. The Hitler Youth for example didn’t have similar parallels in the 1800’s and before.

At the same time individuals became less useful to the state. Large prison populations are really expensive in terms of guards and lost productivity. Similarly execution means removing potentially productive people. Historically, only a small number of people within a society would get made examples of until industrialization increased productivity to the point where states could suddenly afford to have secret police capturing large percentages of the population.
There are telescopes on Earth that cool their detectors (not optics, though) well below that temperature. The SPT-3G at the South Pole, for example, has detectors at 3K.
