Well, you can't have impartial science when science is being funded by institutions of conflicting economic interests. Period. Identity politics is just a distorted lens through which the core problem manifests.

The author barely touches it and the paper mentions funding but not extensively. It's hypocritical not to talk about money when that's the true underlying reason they argue about. It's not about knowledge, it's not about advancement of intellect, it's about who will get funding to survive as a scientist/researcher.

If everyone had secured funding, there would be no discussion at all, because all the false science would eventually get discredited and put in the junk bin.

I work similar hours, but I WANT to do something productive!
But I just don't have the strength or energy. Chores also eats a lot of time...
I feel similarly to how you have described.

My worry is the innovator's dilemma. Given a few generations (software generations, not human) of continuing exponential improvement in capability of LLMs (or whatever replaces them), I worry that those who have spent much more time learning to co-work with a GPT-alike (or replacement) will move to the fore.
Staring at something right next to a light source is far less straining on the eyes than looking directly at the light source.
> But now you're using a different meaning of volition. They're not required to take a job at $6/hour instead of one at $10/hour. They might still choose to take it anyway if the higher paying job has a heinous commute or is third shift or dirty or dangerous etc. That's a choice, and removing it makes things worse for them.

I've used the same meaning of volition throughout. GP posited that there may exist X well-paying jobs but Y people, where Y > X. In that situation there is no self volition once the well-paying jobs have been filled; even if some people willingly choose not to take them. Once again it's about agency not UBI or minimum wage.

> "Companies should raise prices so people can get paid more" is not how you cause people to have more. They just lose the higher nominal wages to higher prices.

That's pure conjecture, not fact. Productivity and wages decoupled 50 years ago.

> So how are you squaring "the job shouldn't exist" with the job being their only alternative to something so unreasonable that you regard it as a lack of volition?

The answer to a desperate child isn't paying them a pittance to clean a slaughterhouse. That we've decided to do so is a choice, not a necessity, and is an indictment of who we are as a society.
Agreed. Long-termism isn't real and is just an excuse to ignore currently existing problems.

It is not. The organic material isn't the part that gets used up, but rather the electrodes. The energy does not really come from the potato, just the chemistry environment. If you take the electrodes out and put them in a new potato, I don't think that will get you a fresh battery.

https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2017/01/10/peanut-allergy-earl...

“That trial, involving hundreds of babies under a year old at high risk for developing peanut allergy, established that kids could be protected by regularly eating a popular peanut butter-flavored Israeli snack called Bamba. A follow-up study later showed those kids remained allergy-free even after avoiding peanuts for a year.

Under the new recommendations, published simultaneously in six journals including the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, all infants who don’t already test positive for a peanut allergy are encouraged to eat peanut-enriched foods soon after they’ve tried a few other solid foods.”

Early exposure seems to be the recommended path.
> If I ski at a resort without a ticket, did the resort lose money? If I jump over a turnstile to get on the subway, did the city lose money? If I sneak into a music festival, did the artist lose money? They're all theft of services.

The answer to all of these questions is a solid "no", I don't know if this is the point you're intending to make.

Have I stolen the baker's services when I smell the baked bread on the way to work without buying anything? It's an incoherent idea of theft at best, in which you must falsely represent the exchange as zero-sum to demonize.

Show HN: Aify, an addon for Thunderbird to bring ChatGPT to your emails
Aify is an addon for Thunderbird that lets you use OpenAI's API to carry out tasks on highlighted sections of text.

I'm using it to automatically generate emails to estate agents putting forward my offer in a personalised way.

By default it has options to re-write text to be polite, formal or just classify it.

You can extensible and you can add any task you could carry out with a regular API call.

It's still a work in progress and I'd very much like input!

Stick some one-by on the edge and radius it with a router, and you're done.

When faced with a ball of mud or spaghetti I recommend putting all what can be factored out in a micro-service and connect them via RPC to REST endpoints. Make your services are stateless so you can scale effortless and put an API gateway in the center so you can manage. As the service business logic isn‘t really stateless put your state in a caching server. Actually you can‘t trust a cache so also put in an opaque field into your client interface. Any problems you encounter can be solved however considering the number of services to be build a fully dynamic CI/CD pipeline is a good investment for potential developer demand first.
EU lawmakers agree tough measures over use of AI
I don't see how.
You said that engineers can take risks if they want. I say that:
1. a lot can't take any risk at all, even if they'd be willing to, since they have no money.
2. the level of the risk you take depends enormously on your initial wealth. Wealthy founders take a lot less risk than founders who invest their life savings.
And when you get to the other side of the investment, when you win, the money you earn does not depend at all on the level of risk you took. But when you lose, it totally depends on it. the risk is not the same for everybody.

Love him or hate him; you have to respect the reality that good leadership and vision is what got this company from it’s main competitor bailing it out 25-ish years ago to becoming one of the most valuable tech companies in the world.

I believe a lot of that came from recognizing and adapting to trends, such as when Napster was an huge thing and Apple chased after a legal digital music option.

I think for anyone who was big on tech in the 90’s, Apple’s current position was unthinkable, such as SEGA no longer being in the console market.

And then for this person to feel all this emotional pain over using their meager free hours training themselves to be even more profitably exploited. Our prisons really are created in our own minds.
... and perhaps a LLM that shares the latent space with the visual model, because those are apparently (and surprisingly) easily mapped to each other (at least per that one paper that popped up the other day).

The bit that's missing is on-line learning. There's only so much you can keep bouncing around in working memory (context window of all the component models) - eventually you want to "fix" some of the context by altering the weights of the models (a kind of gradual fine-tuning?).
Perhaps. I found it was far too easy to hit the API limit with their old codex models, though that may have been limited to a small GPU cluster given it was pretty obscure compared to chatgpt and even davinci.
Interestingly enough I did a deep dive on mushrooms and vitamin D about a month ago. You can easily find a lot of papers that demonstrate sunlight and vitamin D with mushrooms, so don't take the unofficial training as a knock (we should always be skeptical, but verification exists).

It's all about UV light. Some producers are now using UV to help increase the vitamin D of their mushrooms (along with killing bacteria) but they can also quickly lose it when in the fridge. So just set them out on the windowsill 15-90 minutes before you use them. The more the better. Surprisingly this even works for dried mushrooms, so just build the habit. If you don't, you basically shouldn't expect to be getting meaningful amounts of vitamin D from your mushrooms. The effects are this large.

In addition to this, make sure when you cook, that you start your mushrooms dry. This isn't a vitamin D thing, but most people cook their mushrooms wrong. They have a lot of water in them to begin with. Start dry, then when you add things they will soak up surrounding flavors and have a better texture (people's main concern), being more meaty than spongy/slimy.
Does Twitters community notes kind of fix moderation or could that also be manipulated?
an MD-380 is a good place to start in DMR for around $100. Mine has held up well over a few years.

But principle would be enough for me, I don't like that the Quest is a brick without phoning home (you have to install and log into the Oculus software at least once to be able to use the desktop computer link), plus the whole UX nightmare of being forced software updates when you want to use the darned thing.

My friends with a Quest are often delayed from joining VR play sessions due to some silly business requirement like an expired login or system update. Also, the Oculus desktop software is some 10 gigabytes due to a non-optional very detailed home menu environment, even if you use a third party launcher like SteamVR Home. And it must be up-to-date before running any actual applications.
Why not? Do you care if the cook operating the LTD Ramen Shop is paying themselves minimum wage?

No, the expectation is that operating the business is their choice and they shut it down if they don't like the profit margin
I extract the title, headings (h1,h2,h3), and some meta data from the page content and send that along with the prompt to gpt-3.5 to pick the relevant tags from a set of tags.
Any conclusion drawn that excludes a bunch of similar situations because the ultimate outcome ended up being different seems likely to be flawed, IMO.

It's easy to point at climate change and say that's a deciding factor, but if there's ten times as many societies that faces similar climate change situations and didn't fail, then it's either not climate change, or it's climate change in combination with some other aspect of their society which made the problem something they couldn't deal with, whether that be cultural, socioeconomic, or another problem that happened at the same time.

Back to the original point, I think sometimes "multiple things went wrong" totally can be a reason, and if there's an inability to accept that, I think that itself should be questioned. If a society is attacked, and there's a famine because of climate change, and the king dies from an illness unexpectedly and the succession is messy and there's not strong leadership, perhaps any one of those things is a hurdle that can be overcome, but if they all happen in a short period of time, that's definitely going to be a much larger stressor for a society.

That doesn't mean they don't need to be identified, and we should accept "eh, multiple things happened" as the only answer, but any inability to accept the there might have been a confluence of events that combined to cause an outcome would be a failure on the part of historians, IMO.

I don't work with paper much, so the squares I stare into most are either wide or narrow and high.

To me A4 looks weirdly fat/short/square-ish on first look.

On a longer look I think it looks very nice (especially so knowing why the ratio was chosen).

In general though, I prefer narrower columns for reading (closer to A5), so I don't know why it should be even wider/shorter.

the answer to your question is in Art of Electronics.
To be honest after switching to Pop_OS! several years ago I have no regrets. The system just _works_. And curiously enough, even though it should be as same as Ubuntu, Ubuntu does not work as seamlessly as this distro. Bluetooth, for example, U. does not want to register my keyboard without some terminal shenanigans; P does. I could not even make my bluetooth speakers work with U, yet with P it just purrs.

With Pop_OS! my distohopping days were over. I install it on my devices and I forget it. I am sure their COSMIC DE will be awesome to use.

I think this is because they have skin in the game. They sell computers and they make sure they work as flawlessly as it can be with the OS they are developing. They are not selling their devices in my country but who knows, if they start to do that they have a ready customer here.
Yes! I am not in academia and I do not know if such a concept would play well, but I can use a parallel in cybersecurity. It would be like having a Red and Blue team. The Blue team produces research and the Red team tries to debunk it, both are paid well to do their jobs. Also, alternating between Blue and Red can help the individual progress.

You are wrong.

LLMs are the single biggest advance in mass learning since the printed book. They are infinitely patient and can be reprogrammed, or repurposed with three sentences. Debate partner, editor, quiz master, literally anything. Every new tool can be abused, of course we can't structure education the same, but we should always be re-evaluating our methods and techniques in the face of new technology and knowledge.

I am dreaming when physics students can have an electronics TA that can projection map over a breadboard to help kids understand and debug their circuits. For 70% of physics undergrads, hands on electronics classes are the hardest classes they took.
In the tutorial, the very first card I was presented with was reported for being "illegal", and the description was (from memory. I might not have it quite right)

"A post about the movie Cocaine Bear recommends doing cocaine while watching the movie and contains a photograph of a bag of white powder with the hashtag #cocaine"

That... seems like an obvious joke to me. And even if it's not, while "doing cocaine" is illegal, photographs of white powders are not, nor is suggesting that people do cocaine, nor is portraying them apparently doing so. We can know this is true because the producers and actors who worked on the film Cocaine Bear were not arrested.

Content moderation is hard, but I'm not very impressed that the very first card shown got it (in my opinion) totally wrong.
How do you decide which tags get in included in the ontology?
Thin matters mostly only for how it fits in your pocket. The camera bump doesn't really impact that.
Actually, I would buy several of them, as I would be only limited by the number of video ports. Considering the slow speed of the eInk, it might even be a better idea to make them plain USB-C with DisplayLink. That should be plenty fast and would mean you wouldn't need to reserve video ports.
This is the first time I've felt like Anthropic may be a true competitor to OpenAI.

I see 6 ways to improve foundation LLMs other than cost. If your product is best at one of the below, and has parity at the other 5 items, then customers will switch. I'm currently using GPT-4-8k. I regularly run into the context limit. If Claude-100K is close enough on "intelligence" then I will switch.

Six Dimensions to Compare Foundation LLMs:

1. Smarter models

2. Larger context windows

3. More input and output modes

4. Lower time to first response token and to full response

5. Easier prompting

6. Integrations

This is nice, but it can get quite expensive.

Let's say I have a book and I want to ask multiple questions about it. Every query will pay the price of the book's text. It would be awesome if I could "index" the book once, i.e. pay for the context once, and then ask multiple questions.
That's a weird article. It simultaneously argues that between batteries and snowy 2 there is no clear winner, that snowy 2 is a white elephant and that:

>Hornsdale Power Reserve: $690 per kilowatt-hour of storage capacity. If Snowy Hydro 2 comes in at $10 billion, its cost per kilowatt of power will be $5,000, which is 5.6 times more than Hornsdale. But its cost per kilowatt-hour of storage capacity is much lower no matter if you think $20, $29, or $250 is appropriate.

In other words in terms of storing a large volume of energy, cheaply, at high efficiency, pumped storage blows everything else out of the metaphorical water - between 3x and 34.5x cheaper!

I would say that batteries and large scale pumped storage complement each other. I don't agree that Australia will regret building it.
Semi related, but you also need to agree to Facebook using your camera feed if you enable the hand tracking feature. They probably use it to train the tracking models further, and to be fair it is a cool feature, but it costs a video feed of your home to use, which to me is not worth it.
