> I think we need a term for 'taking public information and deriving nondisclosed information from it'. It isn't really spying, but it's more than just access.

Sure, but I don't think that was done here. People were organizing protests by Twit. All the relevant information was made public because the protesters wanted people to show up.

I can imagine similar scenarios that would be a problem, but this seems about as benign as I can imagine.
Almost certainly. Maybe not in the meta-analysis but for individual studies, absolutely.
If they had compromised root keys, then they still need to MITM the connection in order to provide a fake certificate. This would be detectable, and there has been no evidence of it happening, so I'm sceptical its happened in any significant way. If it was widespread, and not just very targeted, we would know about it.

A government agency using a root key, and getting spotted, would be disastrous for everyone, themselves included. So, if they do have them, and I think you are probably right to assume they do, they would only use them as a last resort in incredibly extreme cases. It would not surprise me if they have have them but have never used them.
It tastes good with cheaper ingredients, too.

You can find "European" bread in the USA if you want it, but it's often not the cheapest.
For wake word and voice activity detection, audio processing, etc we use the ESP SR (speech recognition) framework from Espressif[0].

For speech to text there are two options and more to come:

1) Completely on device command recognition using the ESP SR Multinet 6 model. Willow will (currently) pull your light and switch entities from Home Assistant and generate the grammar and command definition required by Multinet. We want to develop a Willow Home Assistant component that will provide tighter Willow integration with HA and allow users to do this point and click with dynamic updates for new/changed entities, different kinds of entities, etc all in the HA dashboard/config.

The only "issue" with Multinet is that it only supports 400 defined commands. You're not going to get something like "What's the weather like in $CITY?" out of it.

For that we have:

2-?) Our own highly optimized inference server using Whisper, LLamA/Vicuna, and Speecht5 from transformers (more to come soon). We're open sourcing it next week. Willow streams audio after wake in realtime, gets the STT output, and sends it wherever you want. With the Willow Home Assistant component (doesn't exist yet) it will sit in between our inference server implementation doing STT/TTS or any other STT/TTS implementation supported by Home Assistant and handle all of this for you.

In the case that Lewis is alluding to (an unsatisfied yearning for spiritual fulfillment), the argument is tautological. If God is real in the way he imagines it, the presence of this spiritual yearning is a kind of evidence. If God is not real in the way he imagines, the presence of this spiritual yearning is evidence that the assertion is false.
It’s not like money that was previously allocated for debt service could then be moved to something else. In AZ we can direct about $4k to specific organizations and receive a 1:1 tax credit. That impacts revenues, but not how much those programs would receive otherwise.
My least favourite story is "A lot of things happened to the protagonist and the world around him, but in the end everything is exactly like it was before all that".

Homer is dead, we live in linear time, can we please please have some progress for a change?

A notorious offender is Terry Pratchett's Discworld. When the world needs to change, it happens between the books. In any book, you know you will end up with the same status quo as when you started reading.

Even if we are talking about something happening off-world, the experience would completely change the character. They can't just resume being young, shy and ignorant. Even some PTSD would be better than nothing.
There is a brand that has no added sugar that I believe the poster up thread is mentioning based upon the ingredients. It's ok, but honestly tastes a little like just thick tomato sauce, could be a little more fermented/more vinegar, but it's a fine substitute for HFCS based ketchups.

"Nearly" seems to be a big stretch.. journalists assuming 99% of the work is the idea and getting it cleared from a regulatory perspective.

Implementation is always so much harder once you have to actually do it then when you just have to talk about it or write articles about it.

> What people may not realize is your body is quite "efficient" at running at various caloric amounts, and ±569 kJ/day (135 calories) may not do much.

Source? I'm very much in the camp that diet has a huge impact on one's ability to control their eating, but I've never seen anything that suggests that calories in calories out doesn't apply (outside of extremes, like genuine starvation).
I'm not sure it even really matters if you give kids a smartphone or not. The schools give them chromebooks, which basically allows the same problematic social media access. Sure, they try to put filters in place, but kids are resourceful. I hear regularly from my daughter about the things she does on that chromebook in class that I don't really permit (except in small doses) at home.
As an aside, I really like the disclaimer's approach, kind of like the Disney+ messages on certain movies, where they say they don't necessarily agree with something but still present it in the original form.
> people who own stuff have the power to take money from people who don't.

People who have invested capital, hedged risks, setup maintenance, did marketing etc.

Now we can agree that housing is very specific branch of economy where if you have upper hand(capital) you can be dealing cards to those who don't. There are ways to address that without the canvas of grand narratives(extracting labour etc).

This is objectively false. There are medical tests to prove its existence, there have also been numerous studies highlighting the differences in ADHD brains and those without it, one of them being far slower development of the pre-frontal cortex. Not just a couple of weeks or months, we're talking years of delay. The FDA has also approved testing to assess for brain wave ratios, specifically theta and beta, in which ADHD brains have much higher count.

For most people with ADHD, staying on the drug is the hard part. On top of all of this, there are ADHD drugs that aren't stimulants if one reacts negatively to it. It's not the 70s anymore. Pushing stereotypes is a horrible thing to do, please refrain from it in the future.
It's insane that our mountain towns are essentially playgrounds for the rich while European mountain towns still have a fair amount of housing supply.
That's too blanked. It tastes _sweet_ and you're _used_ to sweetness in bread.

I love and eat a lot of candy of all types, but I don't want my actual food to taste sweet since I'm not used to it. Because of that sugar in bread doesn't taste good to me, just sweet.
They could obviously just issue new debt, though.
"There's some secret cabal of people who run the world and they've decided that commercial real estate needs to thrive, for some reason."

The reason is easy to figure out: "Holding a lot of Commercial Real Estate assets". There's literally trillions of dollars at stake here. I would personally propose that the alternative that the people holding this trillions of dollars of assets are just sitting back and watching their entire market collapse placidly, with it never occurring to them to call in favors, use political power, buy lobbyists, buy PR, and literally everything else possible to save that money, is the crazy idea.

It requires me to believe that the 0.001% are just so amazingly honest and fair-minded that they will calmly accept the judgment of the market that their assets are no longer required. This is not a position I see a lot of evidence for.

The only thing that surprises me is that we haven't seen a lot of call for some sort of regulation that accidentally whoopsydoopsy can only be conformed to by workers in offices whoknew what a surprise and shocking unexpected consequence. Keep an ear out for it, I wouldn't be surprised to see this tried in the next year or two. Their situation is pretty dire.

It hasn't even been all that secret either: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2022/02/17/new-york-c... I'm not citing that as proof, just evidence. There's plenty of money at stake in this matter.
Can someone else chime in and let me know whether they agree? Seems like the equivalent of a twitter DM to me, but maybe I'm out of touch.

This is the paradox, while you are "trying" as you have observed, you are still desiring. Letting go of desire is effortless.
Notice that the data center isn't actually facing the user:

> These are data warehouse, batch, large query, and ml workloads for analysis

Assuming the average load is 80%, it would take ~7.5 days to catch up with all the work accumulated during the outage. In a long run, that's pretty harmless.
Yeah, for an illustrative example of assortative mating effects, consider the stereotype of the rich nerd with the hot wife. Kids are smart and attractive. This plays out at every pareto level in the sexual marketplace.

Basically, monogamy breaks the ability of sexual selection to "dilute" bad genes with good ones. I'm not anti-monogamy, but it's a social technology which has tradeoffs (this being one of them).
Guessing two reasons, a) it's expensive, b) we might miss! ;)
from what i vaguely recall, a body starts releasing insulin when it expects incoming sugar because if it waits until the sugar hits the bloodstream, it has to dump a bunch at once, which is a strain, so it uses environmental cues like the taste (or even smell?) of something sweet. if you keep tricking your body by tasting something sweet, have it start to release insulin, and then have that insulin go unused, it may start to ignore that signal.
At least it would be difficult to enforce such things, with cryptocurrencies and all. I wonder if governments will try to convince their citizens that all VPN users are criminals and pedophiles as an excuse to make their use illegal, using it as prima facie evidence of wrongdoing in police investigations as a means of increasing the state of terror, surveillance, and control over their populations.
1. NSS users are still addicted to sweets and probably other junk foods. Whatever lunch option you are pairing a diet coke with is probably still not great.

2. A lot of people who try to cut sugar end up getting blind sided by carbs and starches, which become sugar during digestion. See above.

3. There are a lot of common staple items that are still sugarfied despite being marketed differently. How many people out there still think breakfast cereal is good for them? That yogurt advertising its antibiotic and other vitamins? There's a reason you have to turn the package around to see the sugar content.
It's addictive behaviour, we've all seen it.

if you can handle a 36 hour outage, probably not the target for the cloud.

36 hours without access to medical records would probably cause some downstream issues.

Yup, saw that exact reaction in my own parents.
Firefly has some genuinely cool shit in it (their text treatments are pretty neat), but overall quality is dramatically lacking because they only train on images they have explicit rights to.
> And no surprise how people in this thread rush to defend amphetamine usage.

The same thing happens on opiate threads. The people who have been on opiates for a decade explain that their pain is the real kind that can only be helped by opiates. Take anyone with no pain at all, put them on opiates for ten years, and they'll say the same thing.

Because it's true. If you take away the opiates, they will be in all kinds of agony. They may have created deficiencies in their reward system that will never recover. That's not the same as saying that opiates are helping people (in the long term), or that pain is a deficiency of opiates.

edit: and there's no way out of this other than stopping big pharma from funding patients' rights groups, either directly or indirectly, and/or lobbying through them. Patients' rights groups from the 80s on were the Patient Zero of non-profits acting as political front groups for large financial interests.

Industry / sugar addicts will keep working hard to find sugar alternatives instead of facing the ultimate known alternative: not adding sugar or sugar alternatives to anything, enjoying the sweet things as nature intended, with its whole fiber and macronutrients. The palate evolves in such a way that eating a simple orange (not just the juice) will feel extremely pleasant.

I know this is controversial but just faced this reality myself in the past and I have a much better relationship with food nowadays - stopped being obese many years ago as well and my overall health took a turn for the better.
I spent my entire high school years immersed in science fiction. Gibson, Egan, Watts, PKD, Asimov. I have all of that and more, especially a Foundation set I painfully gathered, in hardbound right next to my stand up desk. I can imagine it, did and have imagined it. It was already imagined. Granted, we're not talking about X-risk for most of these. But it's not that large of a leap.

What I take issue with is the framing that a superior cognitive, generalized, adaptable intelligence is actually possible in the real world, and that, 100 years from now even if it is possible, that it's actually a global catastrophic risk. Let's take localized risk, we already have that today, it's called drones and machine learning and war machines in general, and you're focusing on the absolute theoretical X-risk.
> Don’t use sugar substitutes if you are trying to lose weight, according to a new guideline from the World Health Organization.

Is weight loss the main reason for using artificial sweeteners? I thought avoiding blood sugar spikes and crashes was at least as important, and also that the by-products of fructose metabolism weren't great.

Can someone explain the legal theory that diffentiates using something like Dataminr to monitor tweets vs simply having an army of agents manually searching for them? I agree that it feels like the scale of the former makes it different, but is there a principled reason why that is the case?
You are not responding to my main point. Nitpicking the number of accounts is not helpful: we don't know how many accounts have been removed so your guess is as good as mine.

There is a time and a place for posturing. Choosing to block access to a popular opposition platform on the eve of a very meaningful election is probably not it.
>the ability to deal with moral issues is a side-effect of all the other good stuff it can do.

This is the opposite of true. The ability to "deal" with moral issues is a direct effect of safety tuning which has a (thus far unavoidable) side-effect of significantly dumbing down a model.

Uncensored versions of the same model are far more intelligent and exhibit entire classes of capabilities their moralizing gimped versions do not have the available brain power to accomplish.

> Now I am curious to ask these "uncensored" models questions that people fight about all day on forums... will everyone suddenly agree that this is the "truth", even if it says something they disagree with? Will they argue that it is impossible to rid them of all bias, and the specific example is indicative of that?

Why would you believe what these models spout is the truth at all? They're not some magic godlike sci-fi AI. Ignoring the alignment issue, they'll hallucinate falsehoods.

Anyone who agrees to take whatever the model spits out as "truth" is too stupid to be listened to.
It goes higher when you include state taxes, local taxes, sales taxes, SSI taxes, unemployment insurance, SDI, gas taxes, property taxes, etc.

Also, some of the above are paid by both employer and employee, which is an accounting trick to make the taxpayer think he/she is paying less.
> There are medical tests to prove its existence,

Physical tests, or checklists?
Attia's book 'Longevity' had a great point on this. Studies have found that artificial sweetener wasn't associated with weight loss, higher a1c, etc. What they don't tell you is those people most likely to use a lot of artificial sweeteners are probably overweight and prediabetic, and have over-eating issues beyond just what they're using to sweeten their drinks.
It's interesting that there are a variety of English accents, with differing connotations for Americans.

YouTube channels that make informative, content-driven videos tend to demand English accents from their voice talent. For videos about nature, history, technology, geography, any content where a viewer's enjoyment and engagement will be improved by trusting the video's sincerity and veracity, (certain) English accents rule.

But the article mentions young Americans adopting (presumably different) English accents when they are aware of being insincere or demanding.

To some extent this must be down to Americans receiving English class stereotypes and internalizing them as different roles they can play.
> That's the only correct way of contracting "mathematics"

That's the correct way of doing it if you've naturally got a British accent (or really any accent where you clearly learned British English as a second language).

Americans saying 'maths' is like dragging fingernails down a chalkboard.

> And you would do exactly what you suggest in the last paragraph

Assuming you mean this:

> Would it involve installing Windmill (or some component of it) on the mailserver, and setting it up as an individual worker group?

I was looking at Windmill as a replacement for Rundeck as well and this is exactly the point I was trying to figure out too.

I get why you need to install the worker. And there are lots of tools out there to automate this, from putting it in a custom AMI to tools like chef to building it as part of your base container image.

But one thing that's really nice about Rundeck (maybe the only thing) is that you can have it connect to any host and run commands with just some SSH credentials.

It also feels like worker groups maybe work for this use case but aren't the actual intention. Worker groups feel like "this script does some work and I want to make sure it runs on a machine with the resources that it needs to support its work". Whereas Rundeck scripts on remote hosts are more about "I want to run this command on this specific host because I'm doing maintenance on this host."
So what would happen if you tried the recipe and then asked ChatGPT to change it based on your feedback. They're different tools and different interfaces.

If you already know what you want "Chili soup" then doing a classic search and looking up all the options is probably the best bet. If you don't know what you want (i have all these ingredients make me a recipe or I kind of liked this but want it to be <different>) then the aggregation that LLM's do is more suited.

Or you combine the two. Ask ChatGPT a question to figure out what you want, what are some areas to dive into more. The do the classic search research and primary sources to fill in the details. This is what I mean by blindly trusting the output, the best description I've heard is that it's a digital intern.
Way to totally miss the point.
