The only thing that comes to mind is this allegation: https://reason.com/2020/09/15/whistleblower-nurse-alleges-di...

Here's an article on the resulting investigation: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/women-detained-ice-unnecessary-...

> Tuesday's report said investigators did not corroborate "allegations of mass hysterectomies." But investigators said they did find "serious issues" regarding medical procedures and policies at the Georgia facility and the conduct of Mahendra Amin, a doctor whom Irwin County detainees accused in 2020 of performing questionable medical procedures, including, in some cases, without the patients' full consent.

Not sure if this is the case for parent, but there was such a huge marketing push behind the covid vaccines that it's the first thing that jumps to everyone's mind in any vaccine related topic.

It's kind of like after everyone being inundated with talk about covid for years, there is a tendency to assume every health issue is related to it. Some things definitely will be, but it turns out the universe of things that can go wrong with a human body goes far beyond one recent virus.
The thing that all of these hardware companies don't understand is that it is the software that keeps the boys in the yard. If you don't have something that works as well as CUDA then it doesn't matter how good your hardware is. The only company that seems to understand this is nVidia, and they are the ones eating everyone's lunch. The software side is hard, it is expensive, it takes loads of developer hours and real life years to get right, and it is necessary for success.

That's just saying how people tend to use it, not what the technology does. Namespaces/Cgroups can be used both ways, to isolate a single process (or even partially-isolate individual threads) or entire userland stacks.

The question that was asked what the technology can do, not how it's being used. What are the primitives, the atoms its made of.

The compilers _usually_ generate correct machine instructions (code) better than us. This, alone, is not really a meaningful measure and doesn’t refute the claim.

Best bit of the article.

Question for someone who knows more about this stuff. How likely is it to get the same response to the same prompt with gpt ? Does it have some kind of random seed applied behind the scenes?

Thank you for the responses. TIL.
I have Mullvad running on my devices all the time...

I wonder if they showed the ad to Mullvad users?

Also, Mullvad is unique in that it generally doesn't do commissions or special sale prices, etc. The "top rated" VPNs on review sites and YouTube channels are usually the ones paying the most in commission. And it's a reason Mullvad is rarely in the "top rated" lists -- it doesn't pay commissions.

I wonder how that works with Mozilla? Surely Mozilla is getting a commission?

It would be a mess, as JSX is syntax that calls to a specific library function.

There would likely need to be some new kind of syntax delimiter for it to be a native feature. E4X-style would conflict with JSX-type syntax.

Was GPT-4 trained on data that was acquired illegally? Or was it trained on data acquired legally that OpenAI didn't have the rights to redistribute? There is a difference. In the latter case, whether it counts as "stealing" would come down to whether or not GPT-4 counts as a derivative work, or some similar legal concept.

Just one nit, FreeBSD had jails before March of 2000. I know this because I was using them in 1999. And in fact they were merged into CURRENT in early 1999 and STABLE in mid/late 1999. It was merged into RELEASE in March 2000.
> If I do the gardening myself, and he does the painting himself, GDP doesn't increase.

But capital increase. Next time this capital will hit market - when you decide to sell fruits or home with beautiful garden it will be taxed and will increase GDP.

GDP is statistics anyway, so any work that doesn't rot and hit the market will eventually show up in GDP.
Appeal to authority is only a fallacy when the person is an authority in an unrelated area. Appealing to an actual authority of the subject in question isn't a fallacy—it's the whole point of having authorities.

"90% of dentists agree you should own a motorbike" is an appeal to authority fallacy.

"90% of dentists agree you should floss" is not.
> The Web3 API is the API exposed by the full node themselves, and it exposes the requirement of the ethereum protocol (example: the nonce, the encoding scheme for smart contracts, the primitives operation of the EVM, etc) . It is then wrapped inside libraries in different languages (and you can write your own) but the underlying stuff is constrained by the blockchain protocol itself (you cannot make the nonce mechanism less stupid no matter how hard you try, for instance, the nodes will just reject your transaction if you don't follow the dumb protocol).

The nodes expose the JSON-RPC API, which is specified here: https://ethereum.github.io/execution-apis/api-documentation/

Some execution client implementations also expose gRPC and GraphQL APIs, if you would prefer a differentcommunication protocol.

The Web3 APIs are built on top of these underlying APIs exposed by the nodes.

The nonce protocol is indeed rather dumb, but that's not a bad thing, sometimes things need to be specified to be as dumb as they can be. A transaction needs to have a nonce that is greater than the nonce of the last transaction to be included. I think that's pretty much it, if memory serves correct. Obviously nodes will reject transactions that do not meet the rules of the protocol, that's how protocols work.

> Yes, it's the latest hack to have been added to the stack, but it's a hack that obsoleted the former hack, and will end up being obsoleted one day.

EIP-1559 was introduced in 2021. Since then there have been several upgrades, to introduce Proof of Stake and withdrawals. The next upgrade, EIP-4844, will introduce blobspace and will use the same mechanism to price blobspace.

The only changes I have heard on the line regarding this are multi-dimensional EIP-1559 and MEV-burn. These do not alter the principles but keep building on an idea that is working rather well and extends it.

> Except if there's congestion, and the base fee isn't enough so you get your transaction rejected, and you have to guess which base fee to set given that it may have increased once more in the meantime. And so to make sure that your transaction get accepted and does not bounce again, you need to overpay (too bad for a change that was supposed to get rid of overpay…)

EIP-1559 reduced inclusion times and gas fees.
I remember I was working on a game where you fly a ship and shoot alien ships. I didnt have a lot of experience at the time so I just made the ships move in one direction and eventually take a random turn, but if you got within a distance they moved away from you, but if you got too close they would kamikaze toward you. but I needed to figure out when to shoot, so I just decided that they would randomly shoot when you shoot.

However, what happened is that since the distance of your bullets is small, you would fly up towards them and they would 'trick' you by at first flying away then suddenly b-lining at you. and when you fired sometimes they would fire at the same time and get you.

The comments I got from people who played the game 'wow the AI is really good'. Not sure if this is a direct example of the Forer effect
It's not a random seed, but it will always be slightly different. It's similar to "prompting" a human... you'll likely get the same general result if you ask the same person the same question a dozen times, but it will have enough variability that it won't be identical.
this is something I could use with my box of cables, I like the idea of the battery onboard and just leakage current when off

can the script bundle the LEDs together to make it easier to visually grok the results? e.g. this bundle of LEDs lit up means it's a usb3 compliant cable, this bundle lit up means the cc resistors are proper, etc

the brightness may be a good thing, if you add a faceplate to diffuse the LEDs (and add proper labels/branding). I've been meaning to find a good application for a PCB faceplate... https://hackaday.com/2022/08/17/circuit-less-pcb-featured-as...

Yep! It's still very lush and forested though. It's very similar to Barton Creek back in Austin. Highly recommend hiking both if you can!
I think the point was aimed at people that want to debate about jails vs. linux namespaces. Not much of a debate if you don't understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

If they're invested in an existing linux container ecosystem and don't intend to change then yeah probably not much gained.
That’s great for building JS apps, not so much for progressive enhancement of HTML.
Checking, if GPT could be improved by running it multiple times is a good idea.

The answer to that is - yes, but it is: costly, slow, there is node collapse, it impacts context length, it injects biases.
Do you mind sharing what you're using / how you're doing it?

I've been using github copilot and I'm waving back and forth between impressed and unimpressed; it regularly generates syntactically invalid code for me. Eg calling lib functions that don't exist.

Thanks!
Are you ignoring the fact that it might have a negative effect, rather than a protective effect?

The range for men is -1.9 to +2.1 -- which averages out to +0.2 -- which indeed makes it seem as though the vaccine's trend is to make one slightly more susceptible to Alzheimer's, rather than less susceptible, which is itself borne out in the figure's trend line. (Fig 4.)

For women it's -5.3 to -1.3.
This is an extremely wrong viewpoint. "Many extremely important* papers have been published on arxiv alone - no other publisher. Just off the top of my head, without looking, ELMo from allenAI (the paper that started the contextualized representations revolution for BERT/attention) is only on arxiv.
It's intentionally confusing but "not-for-profit" and "non-profit" are two very different things and it seems the article gets them confused.
The same reason as the Dragon was initially funded: options. The thinking is that only having one option is more risky than having two, and spending the extra money on the two programs is justified both by the enhancements that competition between teams brings, and by the lowering of risk to the program as a whole (if one does not work out, then we have a second one).

And to counter the idea "the race is won, we don't need a second one", I will argue that we don't want this to end up like the Apollo program where we get there and then don't go back for 60 years.
You made a profit, no self-kicking allowed. Otherwise Old Man Mikestew is going to tell us stories about how he rode $STOCK all the way up, didn't sell, and rode it all the way back down to where he bought it, and then watched it dip below that. (Please note that "stories" is plural; slow learner, he is.)

Don't be like me: never, never, never, never feel bad about selling shares for a profit. Sell it, go one about your day (IOW, quit looking at $STOCK, you don't own it anymore), take the spouse/SO out for a nice dinner if you made some serious bank.

Which reminds me that now might be a good time to unload that NVDA I've been holding. I'm not completely unteachable.
This path feels correct to me. It feel like what we do as humans and seems like a reasonable way to start to construct "mode 2" thinking.

IDK if our current models have enough of "mode 1" to power this system. It's also plausible that our current "mode 1" systems are more than powerful enough and that inference speed (and thus the size/depth of the tree that can be explored) will be the most important factor.

I hope that the major players are looking at this and trying it out at scale (I know Deepmind wrote the orginal paper, but their benchmarks were quite unimpressive). It's plausible that we will have an AlphaGo moment with this scheme.
It's not a conspiracy that Google pays Mozilla for default search engine placement.

Maybe that arrangement led to the stagnation of Firefox, without malicious intent from any party. Hanlon's razor, yadda yadda
> the notion of consuming "natural" food, in its strictest definition, seems quite untenable.

If not strictly natural foods, then what? I can't stand supernatural foods - the ectoplasm really doesn't agree with me. I'd like to try preternatural foods, but I've never been able to find a genuinely miraculous grower or farm to get them from.
"I promise I will still read it!"

You might read it, but you won't answer the same way as you do when "choose a nice wording." was added to the prompt.
Mozilla needs a new wway to make decisions, the current one is obviously not working. New features should have an Enhancement Proposal document that the community can read beforehand and a council that approves it.
It is obviously true that the worst-case runtime of a problem on n variables and m clauses is O(m2^n), and that the brute-force algorithm can be sharded out to 2k cores and run in time O(m2^(n-k)). If your approach is brute-force, yes, you might as well use this technique.

But, notice that a shard whose k preset bits are in direct conflict should take zero time -- it's smarter to detect a conflict and terminate than carry on computing all 2^(n-k) invalid assignments. Each such conflicting shard decreases the benefit of your parallelization -- a depth-first solver wouldn't spend almost any time on that particular branch, but you've wasted a whole core on it.

The real question is, what if your algorithm is smarter than brute force? Such algorithms may spend considerable time preprocessing, which is not trivially parallelized, resulting in many cores duplicating tons of work with very little effective speedup.
There is a parameter called "temperature" that determines randomness. I think there is never a guarantee of the same response, but generally with a low temperature (something like 0.0, the lowest but still not deterministic) I get nearly identical responses, if not actually identical. When temperature is increased though to e.g. default of 1.0 or max of 2.0, the same prompt will give very different responses. The higher the temperature the more creativity that is injected because of the randomness, but also the less determinism.

I had to check whether you were joking. According to Wikipedia, E. coli is named after “bacteria found in the colon”, whereas the “cole” bit of cauliflower comes from the Latin for stalk.
I think that writing projects should be done in school while students have access to their educational resources, yes. This is purely my own experience so there's a huge grain of salt, but I have to believe that learning how to compose an essay should be iterative with the educator instead of being reactionary. The concept of writing a paper and handing it in for a grade only to be told you haven't met the criteria is wild to me. I can't remember any good paper I wrote that I actually wrote at home. Most of the time it was in class with the ability to ask the teacher questions.

Food for thought. A few things work for me. First, eat your last meal early - we eat dinner around 6 and are in bed anywhere from 10pm to midnight.

Second, natural apple cider vinegar... If you are getting that terrible burning feeling that isn't subsiding, take a small sip of apple cider vinegar out of the fridge. Rinse or brush your teeth right away as it's hard on them. I feel like as with everything else this should be done in moderation.

Another thing to add for me personally is no alcohol a couple hours before bedtime, especially bourbon/whiskey/etc. And absolutely no spaghetti or red sauces anywhere close to bedtime.

Good luck and I hope it gets better for you.
Exactly. I could see a government, in need of tax revenue, enacting a law that taxes some activity, then going after people that have been doing it for years.

Suddenly, we owe ten years of back taxes, with penalties.

It’s not feasible to do this.
