Okay, you make a good point. Let's look back at the GGP's comment though:

> Same with Chinese language, thus lexing and parsing requires knowing many more words than in languages with spaces between words.

In English, can you get away with knowing the meaning of "good" and "morning" and not "good morning", and know that I'm greeting you instead of commenting on the quality of this morning?
> On May 5, a month after a patched version of the plugins was released by Delicious Brains, Patchstack published details of the flaw. It's recommended users update their plugin to at least version 6.1.6.

Emphasis mine.

It is not actually that hard to run Wordpress securely. Stick to supported plugins and themes, and install security patches quickly when they are released.

The vast, vast majority of WP attacks are based on known vulnerabilities, and only start after the details are disclosed. The bad guys who bother targeting WP are generally lazy and unsophisticated.

Obviously if you know you are a high value target, you may want to stand up additional defenses.
The question in this trial was: Will people in this at-risk population have less calcium buildup in the heart if we give them vitamin K2? The answer was, on average, no. That's the key piece of information for public health.

Blood tests would tell us if the randomization ended with the two groups being very different, but the prior probability of that is small. Blood tests would also tell us if there is some subgroup that benefits more from the treatment, but with an increased risk of getting the answer wrong due to smaller sample sizes, which would lead to worse public health decisions.
The funny thing to me is the implication that human beings somehow are greater than the sum of their parts.

Do you have astigmatism?
Gross. I hope this is parody.

You seem to have taken the article's point of taking FINANCIAL risks to a company's bottom line, and perverted it to justify killing a few of your customers for the sake of a beta test. Why not go for human medical testing without consent, while we're at it?

Taking risks MUST have limits, especially when it comes to human life.
How do you do this without revealing salary information?
Is there an example of this? I know there's several areas where Cpython has some funky undefined behavior, but those aren't particularly notable because they're by definition implemention dependent.

It’s called a bandwagon. Get on board.
We are. The unique combination of our parts makes us more, there is synergy there. In the same way that AGI will be more than the sum of its parts.
As a musician for over half my life, this statement is just strange to me:

>In the latest case, which just concluded last week, Sheeran said that if he lost he’d probably quit music altogether, as it’s just not worth it.

If you are able to "quit music", you aren't a musician. You're someone who figured out how to make sounds people like for money. It's just not something a musician can do.
> If you stop burning carbon, you fall back on other types of energy. In the long term, you will win.

That's quite altruistic.

> If you stop training AIs, another company or state will keep on training AI and will outsmart you, you will be poor or get oppressed in the long term.

Competition trumps altruism with AI? Why not with burning fossil fuels?

If you stop burning fossil fuels, you're going to use more expensive systems instead. Why wouldn't some competitor continue to use cheap fossil fuels and outcompete you? When you need more electricity, you'll buy it from the cheap, dirty players, right?

Here's a side project of mine: https://cantowords.com/

It's an offshoot of https://words.hk (which has a Chinese interface). AFAIK we're the only modern Cantonese-Cantonese and Cantonese-English dictionary that is both comprehensive (50k+ entries) and word (詞) focused (i.e. not only explaining meaning of characters).

It's a huge undertaking, we've been on this for almost 10 years, and probably almost half-way done.

FWIW words.hk has quite a bit of traffic (from native/near-native speakers presumably) due to being well indexed by Google, but cantowords.com is relatively new and could benefit from more attention :)

PS: some of our content has made way to Cantonese dictionary apps as mentioned in sibling post(s), but the web site contains the most up to date content (which does get updated on a day to day basis as editing work proceeds)
I use it to convert legacy JavaScript to Typescript quickly, and to write small, verifiable functions for domains I’m not quite familiar with.

The other day I had it teach me some WebGL stuff. You always have to verify what it’s telling you, but I’m finding 95% of the time its knowledge is correct. It gives nice starting points for diving deeper into a topic.

I will say one thing it’s bad at: Writing SQL. Like awful; anything beyond a simple select statement becomes a huge, inefficient mess. I’d never have it write mutation statements just for data integrity reasons, but even simple read-only reports were a challenge for it.

Truth be told, it gets so expensive so fast, even with the entry level salary. Especially once you're over 2 participants.

It's not, until it is. There have been cases of everyday people are forced to turn over the passwords at borders when entering or leaving the country. I fundamentally disagree about whether or not this is a real concern for most people. I have no problem with people using biometrics, I understand people will always choose the most convenient option, that's why it's important. I think the iOS "cop mode" feature to disable the fingerprint with 5 presses of the power button shows companies are concerned about it too.
LFG I needed a tool like this.

Open source repos already had a problem with people trying to submit shitware into a well known repo for clout. This just makes things even harder because people pretend that they're 'contributing' by generating nonsense code and trying to pass it in. Like the absolute gall on that guy to say that he contributed more because he can write an AI prompt.
That may be a different and much harder problem. Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer and that diagnosis is basically a death sentence, with a median survival time of something like 15 months. Since these are patients with recurrent glioblastoma, generally this means they've already had brain surgery, radiation, and chemo. At that point, as a recent paper puts it, "treatment options are limited and management of recurrent glioblastoma remains challenging". Which I believe is oncologist for "they're fucked". So my guess is that this is the beginning of a long road of searching for agents and regimens that will be deadly enough to kill the tumor without harming the very similar brain tissue that it's nestled in.

The list is endless. Similarly, intelligence agencies worldwide operate outside the law. Although there aren't any ex-"intelligence" heads of state... well, that's not entirely true.

Throughout history, those in power have often lied to those they govern, and it's a crucial aspect of their operation.

However, using torture, violence, false flag operations, and being an adversary to one's own people isn't necessary, except when it's deemed necessary for the "greater good."

It's a dark rabbit hole that can shatter one's faith in society, and even asking questions can lead you down that path. Therefore, most of us turn a blind eye to it.

Undermining one authority can undermine the credibility of all authority because all authority is built on faulty logic and falsehoods, despite being a necessary component of a functioning state.

I forgot to mention this sucks.

I've seen exactly the same phenomenon over on /r/whatsthatbook, where users try to identify half-remembered books based on their plots.

Whenever a post gets popular enough, odds are good that somebody will ask ChatGPT and post its answer as their own. Usually, it will either choose a popular but wrong book in approximately the correct genre, or just flat-out invent a book by a real author. And then it will spit out a mixture of real plot details, distortions, and falsehoods in order to try to be as convincing as possible.

These answers are very obviously AI-generated (if you're familiar with the book or author in question) and stand in stark contrast to the human-generated answers. It's not uncommon that real people will make guesses that turn out not to be correct, but they almost never drastically misremember books they've read.

I find it incredibly frustrating, because even though ChatGPT could in theory be useful for this kind of thing, it only works if you know to apply the appropriate level of skepticism. When people start posting AI garbage without distinguishing it, they're drastically lowering the signal-to-noise ratio of what is otherwise a very useful resource, all in the name of gaining a few meaningless karma points.

And to forestall the inevitable objection: yes, I know it's possible that there are also lots of correct ChatGPT-generated answers, and I'm just not counting them because they don't draw attention to themselves. But I doubt that's the case, because I've experimented with it myself, and its success rate on all but the easiest questions is extremely low.
Whether it would behave differently without RLHF is irrelevant to this particular discussion. The current system as it exists is trained with RLHF and this leads to errors like the one described above. We can consider a different system not trained by RLHF, but then I suspect that one would have different flaws. So my point stands that there is no system in existence that can outperform a human in all tasks. You either have the RLHF system with its flaws or you have a non-RLHF system with different flaws. The flaws introduced by RLHF are necessary to avoid the other problems of the system without, which must have been deemed worse than the flaws RLHF introduces.

It may depend on the function of meetings at an organization. If it's a practical thing among peers, then sure, nothing wrong with saying, "I don't have anything this week; can we skip it?" But in a lot of places, meetings are more an expression of primate dominance dynamics. How's a boss going to feel important if they don't have a lot of people in a room listening to them blather?
This isn't about the philosophy behind what being a musician means..

He might not quit playing music as he's a musician, but he might quit the business, performing and putting out music for others to hear, if all that comes out of it is frivolous lawsuits.. Basically piranhas out for blood regardless of the harm they're causing.

If I had to spend half my time in court as a software engineer for using a for loop, it wouldn't make much sense for me to keep being one.
FireSmoke Canada: access the smoke forecasts, fire forecasts, fire info
Well, that article also wasn't very good. The condescending attitude towards anyone who isn't an engineer is palatable, even to an engineer like me. The discussion on Reddit is mostly constructive in spite of this.

The suggestion that HN is somehow representative of "engineers" in general is just not true. While HN includes many people with all sorts of opinions, the average is quite biased, especially on topics like this.

Or indeed, ancient Chinese! Which IIRC was non tonal.

There's some linguistic pattern where consonant clusters at the end of words get dropped, but their 'effect' on the vowel remains and that's how these kind of tones develop.

IIRC there's also two different kind of tones, pitch tones, and register tones....

Languages are crazy.
Unfortunately there is a large middle ground between the "instantly detectable" and the "quality and valuable", between those is the output thats good enough to initially pass as not being AI generated but is still factually wrong (for nonfiction and photos) or lacking in any real substance (for fiction and visual art). Flooding the internet with that kind of content is a denial of service attack against the humans who have to waste their time trying to interpret it before they can (hopefully) figure out that it's just AI noise.
Factorio is interesting because it is a deterministic simulation of all the entities (this is how multiplayer works; they're all running the same simulation and only passing "commands").

Tech free alternative: if you don't think the meeting is useful you don't have to attend.

Since this app needs approval and getting everyone on board to use it, you can just do the same with the sentence above. It has the advantage that it will also reduce meetings that remain, as well as cancelling ones no one wants to attend.

Most wordpress sites are setup by web "designers". Install as many plugins needed to get the job done along with a theme. Usually follow tutorials for most things which are often outdated.

Especially a problem if any customization is made to plugins blocking them for automatically updating.

And to add to that, there are a bunch of sandhis, which are when the tones are shifted or modified when followed by certain other tones.

You're defining "their job" as what they choose to do. I'm defining it as their mandate from congress. I agree with you that they have a long history of domestic manipulation and spying. That doesn't make it their job. They're committing a crime every time they violate their mandate; the CIA is a criminal organization that should be disbanded.

Their mandate from congress does not give them permission to operate domestically. So operation mockingbird is one example (of many, as you say) of the CIA doing what it thinks is its job, or at least, doing whatever it wants because it knows it will never be held accountable (especially as long as it keeps blackmail files on the senators overseeing it).
And if the independent content creator starts charging for his or her work, even their most dedicated fans will abandon and people will see it as a great offense.

Since ChatGPT usually has minimal understanding of the context, and perhaps also because of its RLHF, it usually falls back to a style of conversation that is usually found in old-school letter writing of yore, and a tendency to avoid offending the human at any cost. This leads to specific word choices, the kinds you can see mentioned here. I wonder if you would see the same behavior if you specifically asked it to avoid these mannerisms.
I think the fear of a "chargeback blacklist" is overstated here. Anyone can easily apply for another credit card, add an authorized user to their existing card, or use any card masking service to change their payment information. Chargebacks exist exactly for situations like this. I've never had issues with any shared blacklist after filing chargebacks against shoddy businesses. You must be ready to cut off contact with the business you are filing against, in case they refuse to do business with you in the future, but that's not a problem here because it looks like Facebook has already cut the OP off.

You don't need a lawyer to go to small claims court. OP can get free legal advice through a local self-help program or an inexpensive legal consultation through a local bar association program if they want to, but paying for legal assistance is certainly not mandatory.
