> Dunning-Kruger is, approximately “I’m good at the thing I do” (by someone who is actually incompetent).

Nope, but I can overlook because DK is misunderstood this way by almost everyone, and the authors have caused & encouraged the misunderstanding.

Dunning and Kruger didn’t test anyone who’s actually incompetent at all! The use of that word in the paper is so hyperbolic and misleading it should have been rejected on those grounds alone. They tested only Cornell undergrads. They didn’t check whether people were good at what they do, they only checked how well people could estimate the skill of others around them. The participants had to rank themselves, and the whole mysterious question in the paper is why the ranking wasn’t perfect. (And is that a mystery, really?) It is hypothesized that DK measured nothing more than a statistical case of regression to the mean, which is well explained by having to guess how good others are: https://www.talyarkoni.org/blog/2010/07/07/what-the-dunning-...

Contrary to popular belief, DK did not demonstrate that people wildly overestimate their abilities. The primary data in the paper shows a positive correllation between self-rank and skill. There’s no reversal like most people seem to think. Furthermore, they only tested very simple skills at and least one of them was completely subjective (ability to get a joke.) Other papers have shown that no such effect occurs when it comes to complex subjects like engineering and law; people are generally quite good at knowing they didn’t major in a subject.
I was thinking of a more distant past, like prior to 1700 or 1800 in the West, when 8 kids dying young and 2 surviving into adulthood was an unsurprising count. It must have felt normal in Constantinople or Rome.

I think it works both ways. Some day in the future, ordinary people won't believe how we, inhabitants of the early 21st century, would just somehow psychologically accept dying before turning 120.
That's kinda what the AP article I cited is. They don't say it that way because, well, it's Big News reporting on itself. But you can tell it was written by someone who isn't 100% on board with this trend. The whole idea of letting rich billionaires hire whole news teams inside once-respected organizations to push their chosen agenda would have been considered a massive ethics violation 15 years ago. Now it's normal :(

It's not a flaw. You're learning. Don't judge the sapling as if it's a full grown tree.
For me, acknowledging my "bad" feelings was the thing that helped me deal with them constructively the most.

Even better, talk about them with peers you feel safe with.
Say "your comment brings up feelings of... In me." instead of "you make me feel...". With the right person, that's a doorway into mutual understanding and reframig the experience for yourself.

Everybody has these feelings, you'll find out.
Yep. Used to be really easy to buy hundreds of grams to kilos of fentanyl straight from China. There were some problems with cross contamination/mislabeling/wrong shipment that caused some unintentional ODs. Can probably find posts about it on old Bluelight threads

In a capitalistic economy, journalism is expensive and has to be paid for by one or two of the following:

1. Appealing to vast audiences and then selling them to someone else for a very low price per view or a subscription. (Populist)

2. Appealing to a small group that contributes handsomely to your cause. (Funded Propaganda/Self Funded)

Even publicly funded media has to do something along those lines and appeal to the people who fund their organization. When consuming journalism, you always have to look at who is paying for that journalism. That will determine what they DO NOT report on. This is why it's so important to view information from competing organizations.

They almost certainly did, there are two other groups who may not have done - European politicians ... and European voters.

Although it's more likely that politicians did understand it, but were reluctant to talk about, at least in front of the voters.

Because European laws tend to be very precise and detailed, so that people can rely on them instead of a situation in the US where the effective boundaries of the law are only created in the subsequent years by the courts.

It is easier to read the law and the cover text explaining the reasoning behind the regulations than to read a vague US/UK style law and then having to research court rulings, looking which of these conflict with each other or if they're even applicable (as I recently learned here, y'all's federal courts are organized in circuits and a ruling of a federal court is only binding for that circuit).

And then import fuckton of stuff from far away. Thankfully there will be CO2 import tax.

> I've come to realize that I often take constructive criticisms personally.

Somebody once told me, "never fall in love with your ideas." Because you are not your ideas. You are not the things you create. Your work and your creations exist outside of you and they can receive criticism without it being targeted at you personally.

> Everything from an unintentionally snarky comment in a PR I've made to someone highlight a mistake I’ve made that I probably couldn't have known about.

When someone points at your work and says "this is bad" they are not pointing at you and saying "you are bad" are they? And if they are attacking you directly, and not your work, that seems more like a problem with them than it does you.

> I see this as one of my major flaws and try hard to mask how I feel. But I just hope to learn to stop feeling bad for honest mistakes.

Feeling your feelings is not a flaw. Wanting to stop feeling bad is worthwhile, but many people accomplish it by becoming calloused and cynical. They stop caring about what they do and both they and their work suffer accordingly.

Focus instead on separating your feelings about yourself from your feelings about your work. Be critical of the things you're doing. Acknowledge where things aren't great but you're trying to do better and nothing can be perfect.

Write a compiler sometime; it'll be more obvious why the term of art is "stack allocation" instead of something that doesn't include the word "allocation." You'll understand why C's "alloca" function and C#'s "stackalloc" keyword are named like that. Stack overflows will make more sense--obviously you can't allocate forever, because you are indeed allocating memory.

As a parting gift, I'll give you one guess what the title of the Wikipedia article on thread stacks is.

> I think you actually are, in a very real sense. Someone else would have written different lines of codes. The lines of code are a function of yourself, an inherent part of you. Criticizing the lines of code criticizes that part of you. You can’t criticize a novel without implicitly criticizing its author. When we criticize an LMM’s output, we are typically criticizing the LLM. Perceiving criticism of one’s own work as something personal is only natural, and logical.

I disagree on the strongest terms. You need to work with a mindset to your own growth an evolution. It was me who wrote these lines of code an hour ago, but I would not have known to write them a year ago and I will know better than to write them like this in another year's time. Possibly I wouldn't even write them like that now, having thought about them for an hour.

I am not a perfect coder, some Omnipotent god. Everything I write is a tradeoff of my current set of knowledge and the pressures I'm under and is therefore inherently flawed.

If someone criticise my code it's because they either know more than me, in which case I have learned why I shouldn't have done that and will adapt for the future, or it's because they know less than me and I haven't clearly explained the tradeoffs in which case I have learned that I need to express myself more clearly and will adapt that for the future.

It's worth it whenever you have a reasonable amount of training data. You can get substantial quality improvements automatically. Unless you're doing some kind of prompt-optimization, prompt-tuning is a lot of random guessing and trial-and-error. It's also most necessary when you have a smaller base model, as opposed to one of the big ones.

I think you missed my point then. The goal isn't to reduce mistakes, although that is often a secondary benefit. My suggestion was to shift work habits to a form where they have ownership of design rather than ownership of code. Also, a key point was to front-load criticism to early in the development process rather than toward the end.
Yes I agree. Some people are just rude or mean and they want to absolve themselves of behaving respectfully by claiming that it’s the other party at fault. But there are two people involved in any conversation and both are responsible for keeping it respectful.

it lies, as neither ssh nor sshd does not care about .pub file at all. This file is written by ssh-keygen and only exists to make it easier to create authorized_keys.

I suppose one can put evil command into .pub file and wait until user does "cp id_foo.pub authorized_keys" without examining contents of either file. But that does not happen often at all (how often do you setup new machine?), and it is defeated trivially by checking authorized_keys file after you update it, something which is always a good idea anyway.
Which model are you using? There are a bunch of different background removal models, many with configuration options, but most of the services only provide one and without configuration. I need to remove backgrounds for my ecommerce business, and the results vary widely between models and confuguring alpha-matting can make a difference too. So I've been developing a tool that has all the models in one place, along with upcaling, enhancing, and inpainting models. It spins up Vultr GPU instances on demand but that's kind of slow so I'm also hitting API's, like replicate, huggingface, and runpod. I will integrate yours too.

For background removal, I get good results with isnet-general-use and u2net, available through rembg or huggingface. I've also been getting decent results with DIS-v1 on replicate.

The results vary so widely, especially if there are blurry or light areas, it's necessary to have options. It can also be very helpful to do preprocessing image enhancement, to remove blur or upscale, prior to the background removal. I'm sure you could even take the alpha mask from the enhanced image and use it on the original image, to help in cases where the source image has issues.

There also needs to exist a service for interactive background removal, via automatic and/or interactive segmenting. Sometimes the models need a little help, and I think it's rediculous that I still have to trace paths when the models fail.

Anyway, I love the idea and pricing model, will def try it out, but I'd like to see more details on the models being used, and I'd like to see more options and configuration.

This looks like a fun startup, I've thought of doing something similar. There's a lot of room to grow with other AI image manipulation models, not just for background removal. Shoot me an email if you would like to discuss.
Homeowners who do have low interest loans will probably also devote much of their disposable income to paying down the principal in anticipation that rates will rise later.

The difference in philosophy is part of the issue. The EU leans towards the precautionary principle (first, show us that it is safe). The US leans towards reactionary regulation (something terrible happened, let's make sure it doesn't happen again).

There is also a large difference in practice. In the US, it is possible to get rid of regulations via lawsuits or "lobbying". It is also possible to corrupt public discourse with large amounts of advertising (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36067401). It is much harder to apply US-style lobbying to EU regulators (one of the motivations for Brexit was to get away from EU regulators), so American companies will try very hard to get out from the regulations while making money from EU customers.

> you’d need the beef industry to have spent half a century pouring billions of dollars into campaigns denying that cows are being slaughtered

Not quite half a century - they are a bit behind the times when in comes to climate lobbying - but they sure as hell spend. I've met a couple of farm lobbyists during my short time in local government, and they're not doing poorly on the financial front.

To quote a favored WP article of mine on the subject:

"The North American Meat Institute, insisting that there is “much uncertainty” about climate change, publishes “fact sheets” that selectively count only manure management and animal digestion byproducts as contributors to emissions. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association website includes an animated explainer, “Tough questions about beef sustainability,” that minimizes the industry’s role in environmental problems, from water use to carbon emissions. In response to congressional plans to address climate issues or reports calling for dietary changes, these groups contend that the beef supply chain has environmental benefits, such as cultivating soil for carbon storage. They also point to data showing that farmers and ranchers have become more efficient, producing meat and poultry using fewer resources. Changing food consumption, they contend, is not a “silver bullet.”....

... Sara Place, a scientist who worked for the National Cattleman’s Beef Association, preemptively wrote an article on “Why Taxing Beef Isn’t the Answer.”

What unfolded with fossil fuels suggests at least one path for meat and dairy. Instead of clean coal, the industry might tout carbon-neutral beef, regenerative agriculture and responsible grazing. Just as natural gas from fracking was presented as a “bridge fuel,” we might expect marketing to encourage consumers to switch to “bridge meats” like chicken or salmon (which, like natural gas, have their own significant environmental impacts). The agricultural industry will also invest in technological solutions — such as an algae diet to reduce methane in cattle — to avoid making more substantial changes that would hurt its bottom line."

Same shit with a different coat of greenwashing paint.
