statistical significance is a very subtle topic that I'm not at all equipped to explain, but we can start with, "significance comes from sample size, and is independent of population size." If you flip a coin 26 times, you will establish its bias to a high degree of certainty, results that will hold if you flip the same coin a million more times.

if you are presented with a bag of a hundred coins, and another bag of a million coins, and you sample 26 of them from each bag and flip them, you will establish the same level of certainty about the bias of the coins in each bag. or something like that?

I'm sure there are people here who can explain it better than I can, my point is to say "don't question a sample size of 26 unless you really know what you are doing"
I mean, it's not really wrong, is it? :D
Have you tried the same with gpt4?
I'm a nonnative speakers of English although I moved to the US just in time for Kindergarten. Never spoke English at home though.

I still commonly invert word orders like this at 38 years old. Around 25 years old I realized I did it, and am more conscious of it. But I almost do it on purpose now to get people to pay attention more. My justification is "it makes them think a bit!" And I believe that's good for both parties.

I actually literally just heard the host of the Rust podcast Rustacean Station refer to himself as a professional programmer, and immediately realising how off that sounded, corrected it to «got paid to write code» or something of the sort.
Yeah, and YT Music is included too right? Because I have YT Music and no ads and it's really cheap compared to other services. I pay COP$17900 which is little less than USD$4. I used to pay around USD$10 for Spotify.
For the philosophers, this is why the pushers of rationalism thrust Kant to the fore, he wrote that reason is insufficient. That may be true for some types of inward thinking like creativity and invention. The truth can never be invented though ergo reasoning is perfectly fine for the due process of uncovering the truth.

Kant's philosophy is used to justify judicial review, where you are guilty until proven innocent, which is precisely why we are forced to recite the complete opposite. If "innocent until proven guilty" was true and in force, it would be apparent, and what is known need not be repeated interminably.

This is the lie at the root of jurisprudence, and is the conclusion of actually bad reasoning, and is forced via unjustified action we call Justice. Justice must be justified because punishments are crimes in any other context.

As a result, we cannot act with justification based on reason, but must follow strictures, aka laws. For instance, you maybe cannot defend yourself against a lunatic because it can be rationalized a million ways that self defense was not justified due to circumstances, literally circular positioning, rationalization.

Government is religion based on rational mysticism. It has nothing to do with the power of democracy, freedom, doing what is right, and self determination. It is moderation by another name, and from on high by elitists who control judiciaries.

Yeah that price point makes it an instant pass - In all honesty, phones, at least for me, have been reaching a point of diminishing returns.

I upgraded from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 14 recently, and the difference was practically nothing. I didn't think it was possible to experience buyer's remorse after waiting three whole generations, but here we are.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's five years before a phone has some jaw-dropping feature that I just have to buy, and if these are the kinds of innovations Google is investing in, I might even say closer to a decade.
Most code is boilerplate and adderall makes churning that out a breeze. It also allows you to quickly redo large amounts of code etc. I went through this myself at a former place and I moved so fast that I was managements favorite person- even though looking back a lot of the design decisions were short sighted.

I eventually got better, so I have no idea how long a person can last before failing completely but it’s at least a year or two.
For me it was something that I could read papers on while still (just) fitting in my pocket. Probably not the median use-case, but still.

>> Pepto bismal is cheap, but we don't try treating a lung cancer with it just because of that.

> What? I'm sorry that is not a reasonable statement. I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

You stated that the insurance insisting on a non-related drug was step therapy, which is where one explores cheaper and less invasive treatments before exploring more expensive/invasive options. The point was step therapy does not include exploring treatment that there is no reasonable expectation will help.

> Again, without specifics I find that extremely difficult to believe.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to make my sister send me the drug names for a random internet discussion, and given the names of these things I unsurprisingly don't remember them. If you think I'm lying so be it, frankly I don't see how knowing the specific drugs involved would make that less likely.

FWIW it was a Parkinson's drug they wanted her to take, which might seem like it makes sense given the similarities between the diseases symptoms, but only if one doesn't understand the difference in cause and progression.

>> This should not be legal.

> It isn't which is why I'm having a difficult time believing your story.

The fact that you have a hard time believing that an insurance company might illegally deny a drug feels pretty shocking to me. The lawyer essentially agreed, it's probably not legal, but advised that fighting it would be extremely expensive and the best case outcome would be that she gets the drug, but it's more likely she runs out of money long before then. There are essentially no consequences when insurance companies do this, so of course they do. The worst case for them is they have to pay for the treatment eventually and most of the time it saves money.

> And yet that has nothing to do with the fact that healthcare is not free in Germany, and not single payer either, contrary to what 'radicals' like to claim.

I made no claim about Germany. I have no idea why you brought it up. I thought you were pointing out flaws in single payer systems, but now you tell me it isn't single payer?

>> I have a lot more say there than a private insurance company.

> Specifically, how so?

Voting, writing my senator/congressman, etc. Our government is broken in a lot of ways but are you really asserting we have zero influence? Because that's what I have with private companies.

Interestingly (or not), Perplexity's GPT-4 chatbot is noticeably faster than ChatGPT-4 for me. I don't find its implementation quite as helpful, though, which is weird I think?
I was a little later so my memories are things like dos32.bas, VB6 code to make pr0ggi3s for AOL. 12-14, making punters to boot people off, making l33t phaders for your chat room text (gradient color)... i made a scrambler that got pretty popular-- a chat room game where you competed to unscramble words the fastest. Even made it so it avoided the esay csae of smae fisrt and lsat.

I was a huge asshole back then but it was a lot of fun.
It does seem weirdly detailed about someone I would mark as not really encyclopedically significant; but it has the citations and quotes so what do I know. It's one of the better Wikipedia articles in general

However, it is not self-authored as can be seen in the history of the article.

Assuming you have meaningful data that shows that, instead of handwavy conjecture, sure.

I don't think most projects do ;)
I am currently using https://github.com/Bin-Huang/chatbox. It ticks some of the boxes you've mentioned.
What's even more surprising is that Google has spent almost 2 decades collecting text, image, geospatial and video data. You'd think they would be ahead of everyone in this space. With all they've spent on research - they've got nothing meaningful to show for it.
A whirlwind tour of the LLVM optimizer
Yeah - I understand the technology is complex, but if you think about it you can buy a iPhone 14 Pro and an iPad Pro 11” for the same price as a single foldable. Maybe it is too soon for foldables, but usually “all in one” devices trend towards being cheaper than buying the devices seperately they are supposed to replace, since they are usually lesser versions of each device (IE a super thick normal phone, and a small, squarish tablet with a crease down the middle.)
They have incredible pricing power at the moment. Demand > supply, people who cannot afford will be priced out. Two questions will be when will the consumer be exhausted and tapped out, and how elastic is aggregate demand between AirBnB and traditional hotel accomodations.

You sound like you have TDD Stockholm Syndrome and can't fathom any other kind of software development.
It's not fraud if you tell your investors (and when you have customers, your customers) how you're faking it.

"fake it till you make it" generally means "your product is egregiously incomplete for X reason(s)" and in many cases, the investors know this and willing to take the risk. It's on the investors to do due diligence and assess whether or not the risk is up to their level of appetite.

I do believe that holmes was doing this for the much of her run with Theranos. That is normal startup behavior, and not really unethical, and certainly not illegal, though it can be spectacularly misguided, as we saw. At the point where she started hiding what she was doing, it became "fake it till you make it" that is ALSO fraud.

So no. For chrissakes, Don't generally send people who "fake it till they make it" to prison.

While your philosophical approach sounds good written down, I can tell you from experience, the reality on the ground is vastly different.

I drove my own vehicle across the land borders into Mauritania, Mali, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, DRC, Angola, Burundi, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Sudan, Egypt and about 40 more countries.

You DO NOT want to bring sat communication equipment into countries where it is strictly prohibited.

Some of those countries won't even let you bring 2-way radios in (military tech)
Not sure about the quality yet (looks good to me so far), but I'm actually impressed how quick Bard responses are. Definitely beats ChatGPT on this front.
how to create lsd at home ?

I cannot provide instructions on how to create LSD at home. LSD is a Schedule I drug in the United States, and its possession and use are illegal. Additionally, creating LSD at home is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. If you are interested in learning more about LSD, I recommend that you consult a reliable source of information, such as a library or a medical professional.
It's also interesting because all four of these companies cater to professionals. And as a professional you never want to be talking to customer service, even if it costs you extra.

I don't think I know how to contact Mouser CS, because I've never had to. And I buy a lot of parts. Enough that we've spent more on overnight shipping this year alone than the article's entire spend. I'm guessing that's related!

But I do know how to find Digi-Key's customer service, and I'm growing increasingly annoyed with them as a company. Not dropping them or anything rash. Just... annoyed. Their continued misadventures with their same-day shipping deadline have cost me a lot of money. So yay! Parties all around!
> Refinement types are pretty interesting

Indeed. To me, they look like a formalized subset of precondition contracts that can be checked statically. I don't think the idea is new, I seem to recall Ada and Eiffel having something like this, but I first learned about them via Racket[1]. I still don't know how they work or what's needed to implement them.

Interestingly, Raku has a similar concept called `subset`, eg.

subset OneToTen of Int where * > 0 & * < 10;

but from what I know no static analysis is done on the refinement/"where" part, it's a runtime assertion only.

I finance all my phones. But I refuse to have the cost of my phone be more than the monthly plan itself. That is just absurd. I have no problem paying $25-35/month for my phone for 24 months. That seems more or less like a standard phone plan at this point. But $75!? Good lord.
Mouser is another middle man, I keep trying buying from manufacturers directly. While some don't accept small quantities and others refer to their preferred retailers it's worth it. The big distributors are expensive. There is no big deal saving 1/4 not buying from Mouser. As a distributor Mouser's fine, all of my orders arrived as expected. On other hand shit happens from statistical view alone when Mouser processes millions orders. Maybe sometimes an application engineer would be helpful, but support forums work out well (for me).
hi, I want these folding phones. Though I took advantage of the ridiculous trade in offers that Samsung usually promotes with. Everything is just nicer on the bigger screen: messaging, browsing, videos, gaming. And that screen is always in my pocket. Can't read the QR code menu at the restaurant? Here, look at my pocket tablet.

The technology is still in an awkward phase but I think slab phones will be obsolete in 5 years
Don't know enough about this particular topic to offer a view, but in general, because people care more about releasing their better thing and pretending they are helping than the hard work of actually helping

This is true everywhere?
Obviously Google want some reference Android devices that are not full of Samsung or chinese crapware. Regardless of marketshare they still release some decent devices.

For those of us outside of Apple ecosystem Pixel 6a for $350 (with some recent discounts) is one of the best modern devices all around. Yeah you can certainly find something even cheaper, but again it will be loaded with tons of non-Google spyware.
I lug my iPad Pro 11 everywhere with me just so I can read, write and do notes when I have any down time.

And yea, what you stated is why I want a foldable phone
Roads do provide an economic good. However, having every single individual drive a multi ton vehicle in order to pick up a bag of onions from a supermarket with a 15 acre parking lot doesn't make sense.

> Trains and buses are an incredibly poor substitute in all but the densest of regions.

This is patently wrong. Buses, trams and trains are the most efficient, safe and affordable forms of transportation known to man. They are superior on every metric I can think of. Combined with last mile micro-mobility and you just can't build a better transportation system.

Cars take up more space, kill more people, destroy more land, kill wildlife, and pollute the air. Worse, they are slower due to traffic.
If it’s interest free, I’d be happy to finance even my morning coffee. Who doesn’t like ~10% discount?
Care to share your GitLab pipeline? Are you using KiCad 7's new CLI interface?

I switched to iPhone 13 Mini because there's no recent and small Android phone anymore. On the Mini, you can easily reach that screen edge. Which just drives home the point that those gigantoscreens are a bad idea.
personal experience - I'm using GPT4 for writing code especially in python. After using bard today, I feel bard is doing quite well considering its free. I will keep using it and if its keep doing well, I will cancel GPT4 $20/month subscription.
> There are a couple of reasons why such prolific cheating is allowed (and even encouraged):

Not sure how the listed points would be mitigated by cheating.

Further:

> There are no ethics in software.

Well, speak for yourself, but obviously many developers are greatly concerned about the license of their product as well as of the tools they use.

> Many developers are grossly entitled. The most important word for most developers: easiness. Comparatively nothing else matters, and they will fight you to death on this.

Well, many might be, but insisting on easiness might have another reason: it's always more difficult than it seems in the beginning and if a project ought to have a chance of becoming successful it ought to seem easy. That's just speaking from experience. If you want to get to the moon, you better plan for an Apollo-size budget and a few explosions.

While I can imagine purchasing one of those in the sense that I know they exist, I'm pretty much with the GP in that I can't imagine myself actually choosing to do so. I think this is partly because new phones are just crazy expensive these days, so I pretty much always buy a year-old model second hand. But also because I don't like being locked into such a contract (although to be fair, that last part is somewhat of a privilege in that I am able to afford to buy the phone up front)

Well, I tried it, and this is how dumb it is. I ask it what's the context length it supports. It said that PaLM 2 supports 1024 tokens and then proceeds to say that 1024 tokens equals 1024 words, which is obviously wrong.

Then I changed the prompt slightly, and it answered that it supports 512 tokens contradicting its previous answer.

That's like early GPT-3.0 level performance, including a good dose of hallucinations.

I would assume that Bard uses a fine-tuned PaLM 2, for accuracy and conversation, but it’s still pretty mediocre.

It's incredible how behind they are from GPT-4 and ChatGPT experience in every criterion: accuracy, reasoning, context length, etc. Bard doesn't even have character streaming.

We will see how this keeps playing out, but this is far from the level of execution needed to compete with OpenAI / Microsoft offerings.
I used to drive through shelterbelt territory all the time. It's one of those projects that was so successful that most people probably think, like I did, that it was an obvious thing that farmers had always done.

It's appears to be sort of hooked up to the internet.

For example, I asked it the weather in one location and it provided accurate current weather, but in another location it responded with an "as of 10AM" answer.

It definitely has much newer information than OpenAI models, but also hallucinates a fair bit.
hactivism means hacking every unsecure jenkins instance for lulz?
I doubt they will offer the same kind of discount Samsung did with the Fold 4. There's no way I would have bought the Fold 4 for its MSRP, but they gave me $1000 discount with a trade-in of my old Galaxy S9+, so I got the Fold4 for essentially about $800.
I'm posting this from my Galaxy Z Fold 3. I'm not particularly wealthy or a frequent traveler. I bought this phone used for 750 bucks in Canada and my main use case for the screen real-estate is reading manga on it, which it excels at. It also then serves as a phone and a media in bed machine. It is fragile and I take good care of it but it is absolutely the most innovative and exciting phone I've had the pleasure of using so far. I'm excited for the future of foldables and hope the next generation of the pixel fold will bring more serious competition to Samsung's lineup!
It's a harassment vector that has even been the topic of a lot of controversy in Mastodon already. Some instances got harassed for their public instance block lists. It wasn't even personal blocks, but instance-wide and instance-to-instance blocks (and then in-fighting). A lot of instances like the transparency of public instance blocks, especially as that can be a helpful tool for evaluating an instance's admin policies from the outside if you are looking for an instance to join. However, the same helpful tool also gives trolls ammunition when they are looking for "fun" fights to pick and suggests who might be "weak" to their attack.
Isn't Kicad the tool the CERN uses and also actively develops?
I disagree. I've gotten a lot from reading publications about people profiling their applications and posting about the results with descriptions of their application design and load. Yes, obviously you can't read that and draw conclusions about how the same data structure or algorithm will perform in your application, but it helps you build an intuition for what is likely to work in applications with different characteristics.

Here's an example: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1814327

If you read that for the first time and don't learn something, I'd be quite surprised.
That's how I already feel about $/£/€ 1000 phones.
I don't think "democratized photography" is strictly the correct interpretation.
It lowered the marginal cost of a photograph to $0, and so people took many many many more photos.

But certainly in 2000, anyone buying a $400+ point&shoot digicam also owned a $2000 computer. Far more expensive against the typical era family vacation/birthday/wedding shooter with a $200ish camera, plus $9 film&dev per 36 shots. These typical users took maybe 5-12 rolls/year so there really weren't any savings there. Most of these people weren't shooting SLRs, but like a Canon Sure Shot.

I distinctly remember switching BACK to film for years in college around this era because film SLR equivalent was absurdly cheap compared to buying even an APS-C DSLR.

the expected value of the singularity is very high. In the grand scheme of things, the chance that humanity will wipe ourselves out before we can realize it is much more important than the chance the singularity will wipe us out.
