This article seems weird. Omegaverse is quite well-known as fandoms go[0], so it seems like exactly the kind of thing you'd expect an AI trained largely on web content to know about. And if there's any doubt you could always check common-crawl, and surely find it there. So why the "caught red handed" stuff?

It seems like TFA's author wanted to write an article about the ethics of training AIs on open sources without permission, and included a bunch of stuff about kink fandom just to be salacious.

[0] It went somewhat viral a few years ago when several of its authors, having gotten popular enough to publish paper books, started suing each other for plagiarism and lots of media coverage ensued.

But it's easy to follow if a scrum master, facilitator, PM or team lead actually just does it.

There's nothing difficult or impossible about it at all.

But it's true that if the leader doesn't want to follow it that it's not going to work. It requires the person in the position of authority in the room to buy into it. No process will ever work if it's not actually being implemented by anyone.
I think where those videos (at least the first one) miss the mark is where they assume the ones running the systems to scam kids are also kids. Some were, I'm sure (kids have to grow out of being sociopaths or having sociopathic behavior IMO, and it happens at different rates for different people), but usually what happens is that adults move in that do this stuff as a living and just run enough scams concurrently to make enough money

Any assumption that an ecosystem meant for children is entirely children when there is money to be extracted is very flawed.
Also, how is typing the questions in an email to a grad student simpler than using the chatGPT UI. He's instructed his own authentic intelligence assistant to interact with the artificial intelligence assistant for him.
I'm one of those young people.

If I attended Oregon State, why would I want to earn $70k base with almost no stock and bonus to work at Intel or Micron as a New College Grad Process Engineer in Beaverton or Boise where I have income tax when I can make $110-140k base with a 10% bonus and stock at Amazon, Google, or Microsoft in Seattle (let alone smaller startups or non-name brand companies like UIPath) while paying no income tax.

The classes you study in EE/CE are extremely similar (and often the same) to those in CS so I may as well earn more with a better quality of life.

Salaries in the Semiconductor industry in the United States are stuck at 2000s levels, which lead to the massive outsourcing of electronics talent to Taiwan, South Korea, PRC, Israel, India, and Malaysia because you could pay $50-70k salaries and still get top of the barrel talent in the EE space (though Israel is seeing the same shift to software - sad days for Haifa).
ChatGPT itself can speak in as many languages as there are on the internet, since it's trained on that data. It's quality is likely proportional to the amount that any language is used online on any indexable site.

From what I've used so far in other languages, I'm very impressed. It's able to understand and speak slang, a mix of other languages and English (e.g. Spanglish, Japlish, Hinglish), language written in latin text where the original language is not (romaji, romanized hindi, arabizi), and more.

One of my use cases is to memorize function names that I use about once a month - not often enough to memorize them from usage only, but frequently enough that the gains from not having to Google their name every time are worth it.
I'm curious whether this fixation on specific topics is innate to the model or is a result of the aggressive RLHF to which GPT4 has been subjected. Anecdotally the strength of the model has degraded a lot as they've 'fine tuned' the model more. I'd be curious to know how the original chaotic-neutral GPT4 responds.
personally my UPS is connected to a 2kWh battery (with an inverter) via AC. Even when something happens to the battery to cut power too the UPs, the UPS has enough battery to last until it is resolved.
FirefoxOS is dead, but Sailfish is very much alive and kicking, with a reasonably thriving community; some of which inevitably overlapping with projects like pinephone etc.
What you perceived as "lack of experience" was actually result of well pondered decisions by Knuth when crafting his questions.
Its wordpress, using wordpress with anything other apache is annoying as hell.
That might be true for the subset of suicides the author has studied, but there are about as many reasons humans commit suicide as there are reasons they commit homicide, which is to say, infinite varieties.

There's religious (Heavean's Gate, that recent kenyan cult), protest (self-immolating monks), media spectacle (Yukio Mishima), honor (seppuku, the samurai ritual mishima was immitating), shame (pompei), escape (L pills) fiancial ruin (1929 brokers), and fads (90s school shooters). Then there's suicide as a way of life (downtown SF, opioid epidemic).

The idea that this is all caused by "suffering" that could be prevented through increasingly sophiaticated treatmant plans or perhaps extended social welfare programs is a peculiar modern secular idea. I wonder if people who believe this sincerely are staving off their own suicide this way.
Looks like a marketing stunt.

Not much details available online but I found this:
https://www.spacesecurity.info/thales-demo-at-cysat-what-was...

It looks like that they didn't do a hack of the ground station, or anything like a radio signal hack.

My understanding is that ops-lab is like a kind of "SDK", and so they had allowed access to this special satellite that is a kind of shared projects machine, like a mainframe or a virtual machine host.

So, basically they did a chroot escape. The computer being a satellite instead something else is just a detail. They did not hack to get a remote access.
I just wrote a long reply detailing why moderation isnt an option for people like me, but as usual the best explanation of my relationship with alcohol comes from the Westwing:

> I'm an alcoholic. I don't have one drink. [pauses] I don't understand people who have one drink. I don't understand people who leave half a glass of wine on the table. I don't understand people who say they've had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this? How can you not want to feel like this longer? [pauses, sighs] My brain works differently.
Obsidian is not open source. It's a widely held idea that is unfortunately false. Don't believe me? Try to find a repository for it. You can't.

It's a shame, because Obsidian is kinda neat software (although I'm not the note taking type myself).
Yeah that's funny. I'm sure Wolfram is happy to answer his questions.
Automated tweeting is allowed as long as it's not spammy or harmful. I think the bots the normally refer to are those that auto-like posts and retweet peoples content for a fee

That’s not the same calculus at all. The burning building is “I’m gonna be dead in 5 minutes no matter what I do. Might as well make it quick instead of excruciating.”
Yes probably.

Also that’s not the only variable in the equation it seems likely there’s at least one expense that could be cut.
> $30k per teacher per year

The Ukraine aid isn't “per year” (and its largely loans that have to be repaid) and it largely isn’t current expenditures but transfers of very much nonfungible equipment from US inventories, so splitting the total amount among current teachers doesn’t result in a per year figure for sure, and it doesn't really produce any meaningful figure.

I mean, if you really wanted to split what Ukraine is getting among US teachers instead, it would be each teacher getting something like a 1/100 share of a used HIMARS launcher and $30k of debt.
Ah, that would be illegal!

What is NOT illegal is to all hire the same "outside consultants" who give you the same slide deck they give all the other employers, that "agrees" to the same wages giving them something to point at.

Isn't that grand?
Thank you for bringing this clarity. And as an Indian citizen I am glad we took this step towards building an independent payments infrastructure, given how critical a payments clearance system is to the functioning of a modern economy.

I don't want other governments to hold us hostage through Visa's and Mastercard's where we are just one sanction away from economic meltdown. Just like what happened recently in Russia.

As a country we should be looking at securing other such critical support systems - Power control systems, Telecom hardware etc. That's the only way IMO to be truly independent!
> Is this a reality though? I was desperate for work many years ago and all the part-time jobs were optimized for a specific time of the day - say 10 am to 2pm or thereabouts.

> I can imagine a scenario where someone is holding down 2 jobs but 3, this is hard to comprehend?

I only ever had two at a time, but it would have been possible to cobble three together (I effectively did this for a semester as I had two jobs, and was also commuting between two college campuses for classes). I managed 3.5 hours of sleep a night except for the weekend. And got to a point where the third energy drink of the day triggered a feeling of sleepiness.

For a person without a credential:

Early AM) Newspaper delivery or Load line at UPS/FedEX/DHL.

Regular hours) A regular job during the day

Evening hours) Unload line for UPS/FedEX/DHL

Weekends) Babysitting, or whatever.

Sleep) Good luck!
“and then they randomly drive straight into a highway divider at full speed on a clear day with no traffic”

If you don’t think this is a difference in degree rather than kind, you probably overestimate human reliability or underestimate machine learning. Either way, I find myself quite surprised lately to see this dismissive attitude prevailing amongst the one group of people I would think should know better. Even stranger are people who thought crypto would change the world look upon language models and say, “meh”. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
As a side-side note it exists (or existed) a "testing device" that Pfizer provided to MD's to "assess" the patient's erection (EHS or Erection Hardness Score), here is a picture:

The average man on HN has had far less sex than the average man. This is simply the fate of nerdy computer touchers and is why we get "incel content" here. In coding, you trade your sexual market value for actual money. It's a sad dynamic, and I think a little bit of "life imitating art" given that the "nerd jock" dynamics seem to be uniquely an American thing.
The prompt is very important. You can even have GPT answer only with “true/false” but that goes terribly because it is not good at figuring out true facts. The more BS-y style is more convincing when wrong
Turning arms and munitions that we’ve already manufactured and stockpiled back into money is surprisingly difficult.
I see this, ChartGPT being trained to be human like with a conversational style, as essentially skeuomorphic design.

Skeuomorphism is useful early in a new technology paradigm to help users understand it by referring to something they already know. Here it's being used to help train the user in how to converse with it. However I think as these tools be more more widely used and understood I think we will see the language change to be more concise, unless they are instructed to be more "human like".

It's a bit like with touch screens, the skeuomorphic design helped train people to use touch gestures. For example a note app with a spiral binding graphic helps to suggest to the user they can turn a page by swiping, a gesture from the physical world.

We are just in the skeuomorphic phase of AI tools.
I strongly disagree. I read for enjoyment, even when I'm reading a more educational work; I don't wish to ruin my enjoyment by making myself summarize every book I read.
Why are you writing here instead of writing an email to your political representative?
Official policy sounds like the Soviet Union was the only employer and they were deciding to pay peanuts unilaterally.

Is this the case with modern hardware engineers? No one is forcing them to accept low pay, or learn how to write software and earn more.

Sounds like they are getting paid market price, and it has been decades since it is known that pay for hardware engineers is low, indicating that people should stay away unless they want relatively low pay.
I do not think that 'knotting' is specific to Omegaverse, that is likely part of many texts from intersection of 'dogs' and 'sex'.
Not op, but working on network code it suddenly refused asserting it could not help me make 'hacking tools', which was not the case. Furthermore, even if it was, those tools are legal and useful. Unwanted censorship abounds.
At long last nice to see that USA is catching up with technologically advance cotries of th east , like, India, China. Singapore, Taiwan, for example
I do not see anything wrong with what you are describing, but in my experience, going into that excercise of extracting a function and giving it a name is an insightfull process. It gives you time to reason about what you are building instead of going full coding-monkey mode. Instead, you pause a bit and reflect. To this day I have never regreted doing that.
He knows about GPT-4. If you look at the bottom of his reply he gets his buddy Wolfram to answer a question with it and Knuth's response to Wolfram's GPT-4 answer is "Assuming that Stephen wasn't playing games with me, GPT-4 not only gave the best possible answer to my query, it even knew somehow that I was referring to the Wolfram language." and yet he seems to stick to his position "Please reply only with respect to binomial coefficients, because I've already spent way too much time on the topic above [LLMs]! The topic is timely, and important enough not to ignore completely, but it's emphatically not for me."
The specs are usually public for GEO meteo sats in particular (NOAA's, Elektro-L, etc), specifically for amateur enthusiasts to receive the photos; unencrypted downlink is easy with them. Controlling anything is another story.

LLMs are text generators trained for consistency, often so rigged to pretend to take questions. They know rude and off-point answers are more likely to follow after rude and dumb sounding questions.

They are not NOT search engines for hard data or thinking machine that focuses on logic, at least primarily. It just so happens and they just so knows that “1,2,3,4,5” is almost immediately followed by “6,7,8,9,10”.
I wouldn’t leave my tools to rust but I also wouldn’t tuck them in bed and sing a lullaby to them
The explainshell output is actually largely wrong here. For historical reasons, GNU ps has two completely different sets of flags depending on whether you use a dash (ps -abcd) or not (ps abcd). The man page documents both sets, but explainshell is getting confused and showing a mix of dash versions and non-dash versions. For example, it shows the documentation for '-f' ("full-format listing"), but it should be showing the documentation for 'f' ("ASCII art process hierarchy (forest)").

(I considered filing a bug report, but there is one already: https://github.com/idank/explainshell/issues/214)
Interesting; according to <https://toaq.net/refgram/phonology/>: Toaq is a tonal language featuring both syntactic tone and lexical tone.

That makes it a hard-pass from me
I disagree with this. Reading for the sake of summarizing takes the joy away from reading itself. I don't know anybody that'll read just because they want to read more books.

If I wanted to read summaries I would just read from Coles notes or Sparknotes, but both are essentially me just skimming headlines, and not getting to the juicy bits of the materials.
No, but lanolin soaked into cotton is.
If a tool does not do what you want it to do, it’s not a good tool for the purpose. That includes a LLM being too polite, just like it includes a LLM confabulating a wrong answer to a question.

Besides, it is impossible to treat ChatGPT wrong or poorly. It won’t be harmed no matter how you treat it.
So what's the suggestion here? Put the cat back in the bag? Technology will continue to evolve, society has and can continue to put in place barriers for specific applications of technology. The same tech used for the Pepsi driver's "unsanctioned break" is also the same tech that provides for their federally-mandated rest periods.
The prompt is very important but I don’t think having a polite conversation is usually the best approach. I find giving a briefing with bullet points and ideally an example is much better. There is limited context so you shouldn’t waste it on pretending that you’re talking to a human
This perfectly covers my skeptical views on aliens on Earth

No it doesn't need to "feel emotions" or be "really offended", whatever that means to you. It just needs to model offense and annoyance well enough to take actions or have responses that follow an annoyed or offended person.
Ask HN: Why do people open their doors to strangers without police supervision?
Why doesn't the police offer a service to provide such supervision?

In particular, if a stranger knocks on your door and you would like to open the door to talk to them, you could use this service to bring a police officer to supervise the interaction to make sure nothing bad happens.
>> How does one train an AI to make up such convincing lies?

Oh, that's simple. It's a free bonus of training on human-produced texts, which are often imprecisely defined. The extrapolations also produce various data with assigned probabilities, which may or may not be true in the future. Therefore, it's not surprising that AI generates lies since it generates and merges tokens in a probabilistic manner.

And here is what GPT-4 (phind.com) tells about it:

Training an AI to generate convincing lies is actually a byproduct of training on human-produced texts, which are often imprecisely defined¹. As the AI learns from these texts, it extrapolates and generalizes information, creating a variety of data that may or may not be true.

This process involves generating and merging tokens in a probabilistic manner, which can result in AI-generated lies. The AI doesn't intentionally create lies, but the nature of its learning process leads to the possibility of generating false information¹.

Mental illness and mental issues are systemically underdiagnoaed in the third world. I do not believe for a single second that third worlders have better mental health than first worlders. The average third worlders has seen ultra traumatic experiences that simply do not happen to the average first worlder.
what about the multiple accounts?
I do not find it useful immediately right now outside of busy work like "convert this simple class from Swift to Kotlin" or "change all these variables from snake case to camel case". But when you give it a harder task it's amazing when it works, but currently very frustrating when it fails.

To me it feels like the early internet. I can't find every single thing I'm looking for, but it's great when I can. I only expect it to get better, even if it's early days.

The future usefulness is plainly obvious to me and doesn't feel like a scam being pushed on me like anything related to the Blockchain.
If this is interesting to you, I highly recommend Paul Kingsnorth's 2014 novel The Wake. It's written in a sort of de-latinized English and tells the story of an Anglo-Saxon freeman living through the Norman conquest in the Lincolnshire Fens, where much of the local economy was about catching eels. The initially far-off events of 1066 eventually make their effects felt at home, and he organizes a guerilla-like insurgency against the Normans. It's entertaining historical fiction, but more than that, the writing is truly high art, which left an impression me, not unlike Gene Wolfe.
There's a school of thought that says that Trump needed to be stopped by whatever means were necessary, fair or foul. The events of January 6 did a lot to vindicate that admittedly-troubling school of thought.

My own thinking is that when you exempt yourself from constitutional constraints, as Trump did in lying about the election and inciting a riot, it's game on. I'd be curious to hear a counter-rationale other than the obvious (and equally true) "B...b...but FISA is just as unconstitutional" or the equally-true "But Trump hadn't yet done that at the time the FBI investigated his campaign." His relationship with Paul Manafort alone was arguably sufficient to set an aggressive counterintelligence investigation into motion. If Trump didn't wish to be treated like a captive Russian asset, he might have tried not acting exactly like one.
Kudos to them!
Either way I'm happy with a wide variety of products doing the job, it avoids lock-in.

Personally I use apache as I have very few users (internal facing stuff), it has a nice simple mod_auth_openidc config which remains the same from one year to the next

I do have to recompile ws_tunnel though as I proxy a broken product I proxy which doesn't accept the correct standard for camel-capped "WebSocket" -- my "fix" script runs

But it is the private health care in US. There is no other option unlike you who can choose to go private. And I would guess that your out of pocket payment will not cause you to go to bankruptcy.
It isn’t a human. But it is trying to generate dialog that is consistent with the probability distribution in human-like dialog it has been trained on. To the extent that its training set includes exchanges with people being rude or abusive it has not seen training data where humans typically comply with those instructions.
Have you tried searching through your call history on a Google phone? It's awful. You'd think they'd have a solid search built in but it's nearly useless. Especially considering you're usually searching for that number you only dialed once and isn't in your contacts and is for some reason excluded from your recents, so you go into your call history (strangely hidden behind a menu) and...there's no search function. WTF? You'd think you could filter by area code, date or a general time which the call took place, Google is a search company after all, right? Or am I subtly being nudged to use some of their more profitable products to try and find it again?

FOSS dialer recommendations are welcome btw.
