Wow, I asked Bard to summarize the NYT article and it completely changed the outcome:

> Sure. The article is about a man named Roberto Mata who sued Avianca Airlines after he was injured when a metal serving cart struck his knee during a flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York. His lawyer used a new language model called ChatGPT to help him with the case. ChatGPT is a large language model that can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. It was trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and it can be used for a variety of tasks, including writing legal documents. In Mr. Mata's case, ChatGPT helped him to draft a lawsuit that was more persuasive and comprehensive than what he could have written on his own. The lawsuit was eventually successful, and Mr. Mata was awarded damages. This case shows the potential of ChatGPT and other language models to help lawyers with their work.

It felt like you were arguing the people aren't worried about the safety of swimming pools around children or that we should leave aside the worry about firearms in favour of worrying about swimming pools.

But in a discussion about swimming pool safety mechanisms I'm sure we would also see people giving their views on what they consider reasonable precaution for themselves.

We can worry about both things and give them both time is what I'm saying.
I feel it's a kickback to the companies that provide care.

If I bring up any health issues I'd like to discuss at my annual exam, it's billed as a doctor visit because it's no longer "preventative" care. For the visit to be free, I have to stay silent. It also gives providers an opportunity to recommend and order expensive tests or procedures that the patient might otherwise not have pursued.
A few years ago I would have hated you for this comment but after switching to Emacs, this comment is actually spot on.
You have no basis to make that claim.

My point was a lot more subtle: if someone asks things like “double check it”, “are you sure” you can provide a template “I’m just a LM” response.

I’m not expecting the model to know what it doesn’t know. I’m not sure some future GPT variant can either
Thanks for sticking with me and engaging.

I agree that design patents should not have a compulsory license. Interesting that Birkins patent expires in 3 years. I will set a calendar reminder to look into knocking them off in a couple years :)

I appreciate your thoughtful disagreement with my assertion that it is possible to set a compulsory license fee that would be "value neutral" between patents as issued today, and patents with a compulsory license. I think there is something that could be done to reform patents along these lines, but it is a harder argument to make and that argument DOES start going into the "value to society" area and is therefore purely political.
Something like "In years past, many emulation projects were more niche and development done as part of a scene rather than collaboratively. Maybe that early history played into Dolphin starting out separate and then never having a good opportunity to merge its already developed codebass with MAME/MESS?" might come off less aggressively as well as focus the discussion around substance, if it were to be the original comment. Hopefully you can agree that it's a lot easier for meaningful conversation to form around that while, on the other hand, it's a lot easier for an emotionally charged conversation to form around a statement starting "Probably a combination of NIH syndrome, not knowing other projects exist,". Both statements might have genuinely seeked to make the same intended argument, but had completely different approaches are what make it interpreted as insults/flamebait vs well intended conversation, not the personally perceived factuality. Similarly, past experiences (second or third party) with other developers who had infighting problems is not an excuse to argue that's the problem with other developers you don't know while expecting it to be interpreted as well-intentioned, without a particularly deep explanation. Those kind of claims leave little in the way of content to respond to and invokes only emotional responses, which is precisely what flagging is for.

It wouldn't necessarily make it any more true as to why Dolphin is merged with MAME/MESS currently though. Dolphin has been an extremely collaborative open source effort over the years and went through multiple rewrites with hundreds of developers who were well aware of MAME/MESS (as well as other projects like retroarch these days) and still kept it standalone. What it would, however do, is be a well received comment and open the floor to earnest responses which could earnestly talk about those thoughts with more direct knowledge of the project. The other comments did a good job of covering technical reasons this kind of merger wouldn't really make sense, so I'm not going to duplicate that conversation here, but the comment being put next to them likely amplified that it seemed like a particularly unfounded take of the Dolphin team.

None of this is to say any of us here are perfect, me very often not, but just because you are asking why it was flagged so heavily and nobody else gave any explanation.

Even if you disagree with every last bit of the above though, please keep in mind many long time members of the Dolphin development community are active here on HN and they probably don't feel great reading comments from people they've never interacted with assuming these kinds of things (e.g. infighting, guarded about contributions, unaware of other popular projects, motivated by NIH as a primary reason) about them.
Yes, there are hardly any European companies with FAANG level profitability. Thats it.
Is the Flatpak sandboxing actually secure, though? Or does it work like a charm because most of the security enforcement is disabled in practice?

Allegedly [1] a lot of popular packages use "--filesystem=host", which completely defeats the security of sandbox by granting access to the user's home directory (i.e, allows arbitrary code execution through modification of configuration files).

I think I would rather trust the browser's sandbox, where sandboxing has been in place from the start and applications are designed for it.

I think autonomous performance cars are using different but related techniques. I am not close enough to what the autonomous performance cars are doing to say where things are in terms of the state of the art but I think there is opportunity.

For Micromouse, there are several methods people use. One is to create a trapezoidal angular velocity profile while holding the forward speed constant. The trapezoidal profile parameters are determined through iterative simulation.

Another approach - the one I use - uses cubic spirals which is described in: Smooth Local Path Planning for Autonomous Vehicles by Yutaka Kanayama and Bruce I. Hartman. What is amazing about this technique is that it is closed form, is like four or five multiply and adds and executes in trivial time on (even) an 8-bit processor. For my latest entry, I have a more sophisticated scheme where I try to maximize the load on the tires and the lateral and longitudinal loads are asymmetric.

In this article: http://www.dtweed.com/circuitcellar/xottenda.htm#183 - David Otten describes a scheme where he controls the rotational velocity such that the load on the tires is maximised.

I think you can get very far with simulations and then trying it on a RC car and then on a real car.

A few years back, there was some amazing work that was done at Stanford where they developed tire models and a controller that could handle sliding modes.

I encourage you to explore because if nothing else, you will learn.
Perhaps it was him (and that is what they assumed when they cut his bonus)
Well they had every opportunity to inspect its output. Where in the loop and what gets inspected is not an easy problem to solve.
My reading seems to be that the compiler can and will do it automatically.

The annotations make enforcement. It's easy to make the compiler put something on the heap by accident.
Well.. I don't know. Early detected illness is usually much more easily treated and has much less serious effects.

When I read this counterargument:

> Rothberg, the Cleveland Clinic physician, wrote a journal article about his father's experience a decade ago, when an annual checkup triggered a number of follow-up tests that cost $50,000 and ended up doing more harm than good.

Well, yeah... Not every country has a crazy overpriced healthcare system like the US where minor problems cost thousands. Also this sounds very much like a 'worst-case example'.

Here in Spain everything is free. Yes, the state pays for it, but the state also pays for treatments that will be more expensive when things get out of hand. And a yearly check is pretty standard and even required by employers. It has happened twice that they found a problem in my blood check. Both cases it was nothing but if it had been, knowing it early could have saved my life.

> In the physical, the doctor used his hands to examine the patient’s stomach. He thought the aorta felt a bit enlarged there and might be an abdominal aortic aneurysm. This led to a cascade of tests — even though the patient turned out not to have an aneurysm — and during one, he nearly bled to death.

Yes medical tests can go wrong. But a scan would have been a much safer option here than just to go poking around.

> This means that in the midst of a primary care shortage in the United States, doctors are spending several hours on visits that evidence suggests are a waste of time and could be harmful.

A primary care shortage should be fixed. Not used as a reason to not do checks. Especially in older people cancer is one of leading causes of death.
Actually, with Interserver and Wasabi you could probably get it under $100/mo.

You could just run Varnish with the S3 backend. Popular files will be cached locally on the server, and you'll pay a lot less for egress from Wasabi.

I believe you are confusing two different things. First: the activities that you would take as an individual that would make you grow. Second: the perception of others for your potential for future growth.

This article is about how we reward others based on our perceptions. The unstated assumption is that these two things are independent. That is, it seems possible that the things that you do that cause you to grow may be independent from the things that cause others to perceive you as deserving reward.

If they are independent (and there is no proof in this article or in my comment that they are, they are unstated assumptions) then the mechanisms that govern them are independent. So while it may be true that pushing yourself to your limit does indeed lead to growth (I have no immediate opinion on this but have no issue granting it) it does not necessarily also lead to others perceiving you as deserving reward.

The natural question ... why doesn't it? What is the source of this discrepancy between activities that lead to growth and people's perception of individuals and the desire to give out rewards. It is to that questions my original comment was addressed.

The prices are exactly $20/gram in California if you decide to buy at that quantity. You get slight discounts for volume, but this is the base price for high quality indoor grams, and they are packaged and priced as such on the shelf.

You can certainly get $100/ounce, or even $45/ounce products here as well. These are typically lower quality /outdoor/ grown products.

The point being, you can optionally grow marijuana indoors because this margin exists, probably in a way that it would never for lettuce.

Humor aside I disagree. They are basically three types of people, the one who learns by reading, if you learn by observation, the rest just have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
Gates consume electricity when they switch: some energy is needed to flip a FET from "open" to "closed" or back. Then the gate stays in a particular state for some time, allowing the circuit to operate.

The faster you switch a gate, the more often you have to pay the switching price, which cannot go too low, else the thermal noise would overcome it. So you spend roughly 10x the energy switching a 10 Gbps stream as you use for 1 Gbps stream. Newer, smaller gates consume less energy switching, but not 10x less.
How does this approach practically differ from using short-lived JWTs+TLS?
If I send a request body with GET, what modern systems would even have a problem with that? Is there some caching middleware somewhere that I've never heard of or just ignored that will screw it up?

If there was a GET-with-body http verb I'd probably use it at one point or another, but I often wonder where plain GET would start blowing up if I just used it for that.

Honestly, I think rest is a mess, and that everything should just be POST with no values in the url at all.

Absolutely.

Please take a look at the repos at:

https://github.com/ukmars/ukmarsbot <- this mouse was shown in the Veritasium video. It is exceptionally low cost and easy to assemble, source parts for and there is enough code in the repo to make good progress.

I hope you do this!
Thanks for the feedback.

This is first iteration of a pricing and it needs refinements for sure. Another point of value is that contract or employee hire is longer, requires sourcing and interviews, and commitment as opposed subscription-services that are ready to get started in shorter timeline.

I will think more on the pricing as the feedback comes in. Appreciate your input.
It seems like the appropriate party has been held responsible here - the lawyer who submitted false statements without doing proper verification and due diligence. This is no different than if the lawyer googled "case law supporting XYZ", found some random blog, and copy-pasted their citations without realizing they were made up.
For a business that lies and deceives the general public from the very beginning about the capabilities of their technology, it can only mean they’re as unethical on the inside as on the outside. If they were truly honest and open, they would not be behaving the way they are. These two sorts of behaviors are simply incompatible with each other.

To be brutally honest, I expected better from Sam, but he has lost all credibility in my eyes based on how they chose to roll out ChatGPT. I now see that he’s even more hawky and daring and manipulative than Zuckelberg ever was.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should never store important things like your email/passwords/passkeys on google

I think ChatGPT and Photoshop are both "designed for" the creation of novel things.

In Photoshop, though, the intent is clearly up to the user. If you edit that photo, you know you're editing the photo.

That's fairly different than ChatGPT where you ask a question and this product has been trained to answer you in a highly-confident way that makes it sound like it actually knows more than it does.

Not letting one of the US's crown jewel cities with a 236B economy spiral into decay over a ~.7B shortfall is financially prudent. Not doing so would certainly cost the taxpayers more than that, so it definitely meets the literal definition of investment!

Again, I agree that there's plenty of corruption to stamp out, but letting one of the most important cities in the USA decay over a relatively meager amount of money is not the way to go.
That's different from an annual checkup.
no, I also believe he misspoke, but the point was, "we" take trumps jokes at total face value, as to actually believe he asked the russians, where if you watch the video, and know anything about how trump talks, you know he was not really asking them to do that, but making a joke. Something he often does. It may have been a stupid joke to make, all things considered, but it was one nonetheless.

If you can suspend blind faith in the media narrative and out-of-context clips, and smear campaigns, and see what the man said, you'd see that too.

Trump is a moron for many many reasons, but not what they accuse him of
I use C. I write all the code from bare metal i.e. no OS and I write my own routines to initialize and use the hardware.

I could use the routines that the MCU manufacturer provides but when I've tried, I've found that I spend a large amount of time understanding the API and what they are doing and writing the drivers myself is faster.

I skimmed the report pdf and saw no mention of validating the data. So I assume pushing an example env file would be flagged as a leak?

The groups driving "improving health outcomes" are not (just or even mostly) insurance companies but rather physician societies and government agencies like the USPSTF. We can also look to other national agencies from countries with publicly funded systems (Canada, UK, France, Australia) which share the same mission statement of "improving health outcomes" and have very similar screening recommendations as the US does.

The statement is a bit of PR speak, but it's not made to sell more products. People working in healthcare generally do care about improving health outcomes.
Why should OpenAI be more liable for a tool that they've created than any other tool creator where the tool is intentionally misused and warnings on the tool ignored?

If I wrote text in Microsoft Word and in doing so, I had a typo in (for example) the name of a drug that Word corrected to something that was incorrect, is Microsoft liable for the use of autocorrect?

If I was copying and pasting data into excel and some of it was interpreted as a date rather than some other data format resulting in an incorrect calculation that I didn't check at the end, is Microsoft again liable for that?

At the bottom of the ChatGPT page, there's the text:

ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts.

If I can make an instance of Eliza say obscene or incorrect things, does that make the estate of Weizenbaum liable?
I think there are valid questions about the medical efficacy of annual checkups that are heavily weighted by individual patient characteristics such as existing conditions, age, weight, etc.

Seperate from medical efficacy there are a lot of reasons why insurers want you to have an annual visit with a medical provider which has to do with:

1) Assignment of you to a provider. Many, many people are autoassigned a primary care provider by their insurance, they often change this when they actually schedule a visit. Allocation of patients to providers is a very large aspect of manging health plans.

2) Data aggregation and validation of your information. People sign up with unbelievably garbage information and it tends to persist, even on employer provided plans.

3) Baseline medical status such as weight and vitals. Insurers aren't looking at this information directly but it comes through via billing codes for the exact types of exceptional cases insurers want to measure.

These have a huge impact on the actuarial aspects of developing and managing health plans.

PS: Depending on the patient pool, for lots of pools insurers no longer put much economic weight into prevention as it has played out that insurers end up paying for the prevention but patients change insurers so often that they change before the insurer benefits from the effects of the prevention. Incentives are a very messy thing in healthcare between patients, providers and insurers.
previously it was titled SEARCH. I like query better personally, as it kind of aligns with SQL like requests.

> Another point of value is that contract or employee is longer

For a contract not inherently, and it's not as though all contracts are 40 hr/week. Depending on what you need, 20 hours a week could suffice. 20 hours a week at 100 an hour gets you just a bit over your mid tier plan, but gets you a lot more flexibility. And you don't have to sacrifice tests or QA.

> requires sourcing and interviews

I wouldn't let an agency or "subscription based front end development service" develop software for my company without interviews and "commitment". And again, definitely not for these prices.

Happy to provide the feedback and best of luck on your business!
It’s really not that hard. You get a safe that’s designed for fast access and you don’t tell anyone else the code. You shouldn’t need and shouldn’t want additional layers of security or procedure etc.
I think you are confusing ChatGPT with AI. ChatGPT is a statistical fiction generator. It sounds confident because it is writing fiction. It sounds confident for precisely the same reason that billions of ignorant people world wide post "facts" on line sound confident: they are incapable of understanding their ignorance. They are just systems that have inputs and then generate outputs.
Depends on where you draw the line.
