I don't think these two things are necessarily incompatible.

"Emotions is meaning" is not "happiness is meaning", but that "feeling is meaning". I imagine that the acceptance in ACT involves allowing oneself to feel the feelings and understand them. I think Dr Jonice places most of her focus on this.

She makes it clear that feelings do not directly imply action, but that feelings imply relationship to a need, so understanding an emotion through the context of your needs helps inform the right action for the emotion.

She says neglect means your parents never helped you understand the relationship between emotions, meaning, and actions or never treated your emotions as valid and meaningful in the first place, resulting in suppression (she doesn't use the term experiential avoidance, but it sounds like the same idea).

> The core conception of ACT is that psychological suffering is usually caused by experiential avoidance, cognitive entanglement, and resulting psychological rigidity that leads to a failure to take needed behavioral steps in accord with core values.

It says it right here and this is consistent with her works. I think she would define "not emotions" or "not feeling" as experiential avoidance.

I imagine the approaches and techniques both schools would exercise are probably similar.

Honestly, reading what you wrote, without any real context of who you are or how you think, it sounds like you might still be experientially avoidant. I don't understand the difference between stoicism and experiential avoidance. "distancing" seems much different than "accepting," "embracing," or "treating as valid." But maybe words like distance mean different things to each of us.

I also am a total layman here, so I am probably ignorant.

I am not sure how a person would have values without emotions. I would expect values to be a product of emotions.
> the things to invent will be created only after critical mass is reached

yes, what is so strange about this? Lets check some numbers [1]. Total active installs on the planet: 4 mln. So something like three orders of magnitude less than existing mobile devices in use. Further, there is large dispersion geographically. The majority (when country is known) in China while Vietnam is next. 200K devices in the US. 160K in Germany.

Next, there is a tiny number (< 4000) of open source android apps [2].

The idea that this miniscule ecosystem has explored everything there is to explore is just bizarre. Breakthroughs that change people's perception of what role a platform can play are not just there for the plucking. You need trial-and-error, feedback, iterations etc.

I’m actually working on something like that, but it isn’t a framework necessarily.

I’ve described it as a “programming language for designers”. The idea is to allow designers to specify the graphical layer of apps, without specifying any behavior.

The core language itself is platform-agnostic, with platform-specific dialects. So you could use it to spec out a web/iOS/android/etc app.

And the cool thing about it is that it compiles to an intermediate representation, which will be a JSON data structure. So you could use it to generate a React component library, or Vue, or Angular, or web components, etc etc.
I believe that would just be fighting losing battles on a front that doesn't matter.

Content mills existed long before AI. Clickbait existed long before AI. Fake news and misinformation existed long before AI.

AI will empower things like that, but it isn't at the core of the problem.

As a user, I care that content is truthful, useful, and/or entertaining. I care that it isn't presented in a misleading way, and I care that it doesn't cause harm (hate, misinformation, etc.) - What I don't care about is who or what created it.

I think a bigger step in the right direction for society would be to empower certain groups like journalists in ways that they don't have to compete with all the crap out there.
This is a reference implementation, you can easily implement it by using React or any other virtual DOM lib. All components would work as well.
All the people here saying WFH employees are happier than those who aren't are completely incorrect in the long term. This claim does not account for a very large group of employees: The junior engineer.

A junior learns at a fraction of the pace of a senior and relies on direct 1-1 help, together with learning by observing others. This is quite difficult online and requires a lot of hand-holding which most mid-level / seniors are not willing to do.

So saying that WFH policies should be the norm is no longer an acceptable statement. It sacrifices the longevity of the team and the company if juniors cannot be onboarded quickly.

Because online advertising, particularly search ads, are working less well for advertisers and regulators are pushing for more changes. The vast majority of Google revenue comes from an industry that is facing massive risks.

On top of that I don't think it's clear that "AI" in search will help Google sell advertising or increase revenue. It's also likely to bring them under even more scrutiny from regulators.

In many ways AI is harder to sell ads against, Google is payed when people leave the page via a click on an ad. That doesn't happen when Google is summarising the content. Microsoft/Bing have found a brilliant way to attack Google, build a product that they have to copy that (potentially) decimates ad revenue.
You are absolutely right. Almost none of your data needs to be global and if it is, you're doing it wrong.

I would really like a setup where my roof top solar panels makes me self-sufficient for energy needs, but the key hurdle is battery storage.

In a town house in Netherlands, for a family of three, I use on an average 250 kWh of electricity (excluding heating by gas) per month.

I’m getting solar panels installed in my roof to the tune of 10 x 420wp panels expected to generate 280kWh of electricity per month.

My primary concern about batteries is the fire risk. Even if I were to take on the risk and have a battery bank in the garden shed, they’d essentially give me a buffer of about half a day’s worth of buffer. This makes it really not worth taking on the risk for such a little benefit, and continue to rely on the grid as my battery.

I’m waiting for that energy storage breakthrough that would allow me to store the excess energy generated in the summer for use in the winter. May be producing hydrogen safely in the backyard or have a tank of compressed air below the garden or some kind of flow battery that can be buried under the garden shed etc.

Hopefully it comes to life while I still make money and have the interest to do all this :-)

No. Depleted uranium rounds have been used in previous conflicts. They exploded in those conflicts. There was no material radioactive impact of this. It’s also unlikely that the Russian claims are accurate. Russia is falsely playing up these things as nuclear weapons. They’re not.

If you’re concerned about radioactivity you can just look at your own link. The measurements of radiation are all that matters. Not some scary cause. As your link indicates, levels are fine.
ChatGPT. No point in adding an expensive middleman on top that’s usually just a few clever prompt tricks.

Side note: having gotten access to Copilot Chat, it’s disturbing how quickly the ChatGPT UI has become established in my mind as the standard. Copilot Chat, despite being integrated into VS Code, feels clunky and alien compared to ChatGPT in a separate window. Funny how fast new things become the standard by which others are measured.

Mormons have a “history of calamity” so to speak where they found themselves having to move or hit by various disasters. This is very recently in religious terms, last 200 years or so. So this is reflected in much more focus on having a financial cushion as well as other disaster preparedness things like a few months of food saved up at home.

Think of it as the religious version of your great grandmother who lived through that depression always saving odd things and being extra thrifty. Some scars run very deep and have long term behavioral changes.

I built a tool that gives GPT a Docker container to run commands in to accomplish a particular task. I find myself using it for things like simple file conversions (it mounts the current working directory into the container). It can install software in the container so it’s like a chatbot with the entire apt universe at its disposal.

IMO this sounds infeasible, since AI human generated content exists on continuum. At one end is content 100% written by a human, at the other end is 100% AI written content. How do we label everything in between? For example, AI written content that was tweaked by a human? Or human written content with some sentences written by AI?

Furthermore, it seems unenforceable. As AI becomes more sophisticated (if this isn't the case already), it will be virtually impossible to prove mislabelling.
It's kind of true? It's stated a little awkwardly but there is truth there.

If you are funding a political campaign (not just any political speech, but an actual campaign) you have to be set up as a political campaign rather than a church.

> 1954, Congress approved an amendment by Sen. Lyndon Johnson to prohibit 501(c)(3) organizations, which includes charities and churches, from engaging in any political campaign activity. To the extent Congress has revisited the ban over the years, it has in fact strengthened the ban. The most recent change came in 1987 when Congress amended the language to clarify that the prohibition also applies to statements opposing candidates

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/charities-churches-and-politics....

In practice, churches are given quite a bit of leeway to engage in what any reasonable person would call political campaigning.
I doubt you'd be sued at all, even if GitHub/Microsoft really didn't want you doing it. More likely they'd just send a cease and desist or a DMCA takedown request first. Path of least resistance.

The text is painfully awkward, not McCarthy at his best.

1985 isn't usually considered a locus of Victorian attitudes toward sex, at least in the United States. The Hayes code was abolished in 1968. The Miller test was established in the late seventies, reducing publisher risk for content that would have been considered pornographic a decade or two earlier.

Anxiety about sex—and particularly homosexual sex—didn't significantly rise again until the early 2000s, around the time Lawrence v. Texas was decided. The Puritans have been loudly agitating for blanket censorship ever since.
Does this support a full Ubuntu Desktop? At my job we test a lot of projects for which we require a load of (GUI) apps. Until now I've installed these in a VM and then reset the VM after the project so my host OS doesn't get cluttered.

If Distrobox can give me a full desktop Ubuntu in a container in stead of a VM that would be very welcome.

Thanks for the post, I'm diving in!
I was curious what your definition of intelligence was such that you thought GPT-4 doesn't exhibit it. It's your opinion - doesn't have to agree with mine.

You seem to place an importance on whether the models are entirely predictable or not, which is why I pointed out that the output is randomly sampled.
It's unfortunate that this guy was harassed for releasing these uncensored models. It's pretty ironic, for people who are supposedly so concerned about "alignment" and "morality" to threaten others.

"Alignment", as used by most grifters on this train, is a crock of shit. You only need to get so far as the stochastic parrots paper, and there it is in plain language. "reifies older, less-inclusive 'understandings'", "value lock", etc.
Whose understandings? Whose values?

Maybe they should focus on real problems that will result from these technologies instead of some science fiction thought experiments about language models turning the solar system into paperclips, and perhaps less about how the output of some predictions might hurt some feelings.
"Objecting to this grotesque situation shouldn’t be an ideological issue, by the way. There’s something here to hate for everybody. If you’re on the left, you’ll probably detest on principle the for-profit gatekeeping of knowledge (and most often publicly funded knowledge at that). And if you’re on the right you’ll have no time for a market that isn’t behaving like a market so much as like a cartel, with producers and consumers captive to a price-fixing, profit-skimming middleman. The business model isn’t one out of Hayek or Friedman: it belongs to Enver Hoxha’s Albania."
The thing is, do the US have a need for mine grids? You only need mines in a land war scenario as the Ukraine invasion shows at the moment, with Russian mines being the most pressing issue in the expected Ukrainian offensive campaign.

The US in contrast, who should attack them with tanks or infantry? Canada and Mexico... both completely unrealistic, at least if one assumes that refugees are not supposed to be shredded by anti-personnel mines.

And that completely leaves out the core problem with mines... it is easy enough to clear a path through a minefield using anti-mine weaponry, and Ukraine has gotten a lot of appropriate vehicles, ammunition and training. But the rest of the mines? They take many decades to clear up. When you go into the Croatian hinterland, where they used to fight off Serbians back in the 90s... you'll still see an awful lot of "warning, mine field" signs next to the road.
Mathematically Correct Breakfast – Linked Bagel Halves
Google is an advertising business. Can you sell more ads with AI? I would say no. And even if you can, having an automated smart assistant being able to "cut" through the BS is certainly not as good for Google as clicking a bunch of sites trying to battle SEO.

However the judge is still out in regards to how much can AI allow Google to squeeze the profit margins of businesses by offering even better conversion rates. Personally, I don't think it will make a big difference, the AI will not make you buy more. I suspect Google makes more money by having multiple companies fight for the same customer than actually making a conversion.

IMO best case scenario for Google is to keep their search market. Table stakes is keeping search relevant at all.

Depends on the manager and on the developer.

Just as with labelling for Vegan and Vegitarian food, "Fair Trade" or Organic, there is going to be similar movements in the creative arts for "AI Free" content.

So no, I don't believe there will be regulation on labelling "AI" derived content, but there will be a drive to label and certify "organic content".

Lots of bold accusations. Lots of fashionable takes. Very little substance.
If VR/AR glasses become no more burdensome than eyeglasses, then you might see more broad adoption. But right now headgear is uncomfortable for work. Even ignoring the weight, if you balance headgear for one position (looking straight ahead) then it is unbalanced for any other tilted position, and it's not like you gain freedom of movement. If anything, you lose some freedom of movement. Plus, taking the gear on and off is (in my experience) more burdensome than getting my phone out of my pocket.

I'd love it if the tech gets there someday, but it's not yet clear how it does.

The utility benefit still has to outweigh the bodily detriment.
While horrifying, not too surprising at this point.
This would do a lot to increase the balkanization of the internet.
I wonder, if at same point we will have just domain specific models (or do we have them already?). For instance:

- Computer Science Models that can complete code

- Wikipedia-Style Models, which can infer knowledge

- Fantasy Models, if you want to hear a new story every day

- Naughty Models, for your daily dose of dirty talk

Maybe it's not necessary from a technical standpoint, but maybe it's beneficial from a societal standpoint. There is nothing wrong with all the different kinks, but you would not ask your librarian for some dirty talk, or would expect to see explicit images outside the red district.
You are right. This is obvious propaganda with no value to HN.
The two following sentences speak volumes about intention. For sentence 1 to be true, sentence 2 should not exist. If one was seeking truth, they would not yet be concerned with minimizing risks.

Not only are they not doing enough they don't know what they're doing. Worse, the fitness industry is not science based and the barrier to entry to be a personal trainer is pathetically low.
