White Man's Burden, Ari Shavit, Apr 3, 2003

The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, say it's possible. But another journalist, Thomas Friedman (not part of the group), is skeptical

It’s better insurance just isn’t available at any price. You can know going into the purchase that the home will be uninsurable so your financial picture needs to account for that.

Also in general I don’t believe you can get a mortgage without home insurance? So people buying these properties would have to come in cash.

Does, in your personal opinion, GPT-4 has an underlying model of the world?
Canadians live longer, and they spend about half as much on healthcare per person.

If Canadians are dying in large numbers waiting for care, something pretty grim is going on south of the border to make the stats worse in the US.

The bottom link is to commentary on the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in the case, and the criticism of a more privatised system is interesting.

“The entire premise underlying the Canada Health Act is that people ought to be able to access health-care services based on need, rather than ability to pay…

It's pretty clear that having physician's practice both in and outside of the public system, if anything, results in longer wait times for patients in the public system, not the other way around…

The people most likely to need urgent surgery are often the least able to pay out of pocket.”

Notably, the legal action was brought by someone with very vested interests.

"This is just boldly incorrect and a VERY dangerous statement to make."

I couldn't agree more. I worry that individuals will read things like the grandparents uninformed take on hypertension and conclude "I guess I don't need to worry about my blood pressure". Be careful what medical knowledge you take away from HN. Imagine forming opinions about software engineering practices by reading a forum filled with medical doctors.
Am I misunderstanding? The paper says:

> We also carry out manual experiments on OpenAI ChatGPT-3.512 and GPT-4 models, where we interact with the models in multiple rounds of dialogue, trying to hint the correct solution. The models are still unable to provide the correct continuations.

But if you look at the Appendix and the dialogues for GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, in the final turn of the GPT-4 program, it DOES (finally, after several cues) generate the correct program?

len, print = print, len
def print_len(x):
"Print the length of x"
len(print(x)) # since print now refers to len function

# Example usage
test_string = "Hello, World!"
print_len(test_string)

I'm pretty sure that's correct, right? So GPT-4 is worse than GPT-3.5 at zero-shot examples of this problem, but better if made to continuously reflect? That's a pretty big result that is totally unexplored.

No one justified lockdowns based on people losing taste or smell though. If the justification turned out to be incorrect, it is reasonable to be mad about that. While you personally may be fine with lockdowns based on whatever percent of people lose taste or smell permanently, if that was the justification provided for lockdowns instead of risk of death I think a majority would have been opposed, don’t you?

Not even Japanese believe otherwise. When John Hersey (discussed elsewhere) revisited Japan in the 1960s, the Japanese he met with were amazed by the notion that the US should apologize for the atomic bombs. They viewed it as an understandable thing to do in wartime.

Come on, it's clear this article is just a way for them to find a buyer for the mural. If someone puts a painting on your property without your permission it's called graffiti and you have the right to just paint it over.

Why will they not do that? Did Banksy come over one day with a contract saying "hey, I'd like to paint here, sign on the dotted line you'll care for the thing forever"? I doubt that. They probably are trying to extract as much value from it as possible (as anyone else would in their position). Do I blame them? Of course not. Do I belive their "struggle"? Not really.

It is not ok, but I cannot see it change soon. You can change things though for yourself at least, however, people seem to not want to change and want the government to fix things for them. I expect that as well when I vote for a party that has this on their program, but I know it won’t happen. I have always (since begin 90s) made Silicon Valley wages in the EU, but that takes some effort; hard bargaining, being cocky (consistently overselling yourself; I am not particularly talented as a programmer but I always get paid more than most of my colleagues, including ones in management), having an agency (which made wfh possible for the past 30+ years, so I don’t need to throw my money away on renting/buying in a city), being smart with taxes, smart investing and not live in a big, expensive country or city.

From my salary alone I am over Silicon Valley higher bracket earners and that’s salary. Most Silicon Valley posts say they earn $x but that’s including stock options etc. It is really more that EU people seem very risk averse and waiting for ‘things to improve’ by some type of magic. I might be a cynical old guy, but I accepted they won’t and you have to do it yourself. Which means you need to make some sacrifices to make it work more like the US but with the benefits of the EU (mostly; simply healthcare without needing insurance, free uni and working 4 days or less with a lot of vacation and still making more than most Americans). I realise you and most others here will do things to change the way you live, that is fine, but then things will remain the same and your gov or the eu gov is not going to change that. The options are already there if you search and they have always been like that in IT at least.

>The Argument From Stephen Hawking's Cat

>The Argument From Einstein's Cat

These arguments are pretty weak. If I understand the author correctly, these arguments have something to do with the AI being suck in a datacenter, and not being able to physically manifest itself.

The problem with this argument is that it just isn't true. First, we're going to put LLMs/AIs in Boston Dynamics-like robots soon. Second, AIs will be put into every single machine we make in the future. Third, a hyperintelligent AI should be able to connect itself to the internet and download itself into any machine it wants through hacking in the future.

This seems like a really good idea! But at second glance, won’t differences between the UI designs on different platforms require subtly different viewmodels for each platform?

Actually the word "launder" seems to be quite to the point given what this does.

I'm not a C/C++ developer and I have to admit: For me reading anything about those languages is every time just mind-bending! (And I have a hard time not to use any curse words right now in addition).

It took me over 20 minutes to understand (more or less) what this `std::launder()` does. The spec is just gibberish! So I've tried a BS generator a.k.a "AI" than[1]. Together with a Stackoverflow entry[2] it finally made click.

This function "launders" pointers from compiler assumptions. It will give you a "clean", pristine pointer back, without for example the information about the concrete object attached to it previously (because for example casting an object to its base class won't give you a proper pointer to the base class; at least that's what as SO comments says… Sounds quite ill, but so is C++). It will also for example "launder" away compiler assumptions about the `const` property of an object pointer. It's needed for example when you do "in-place replacement of an object" (replacing directly the bytes in some memory area of another object). Just casting won't make the compiler "forget" where this memory came from / to which object it was once attached. So you need to launder the pointer to the new object so the compiler forgets what it assumed previously about that memory area.

But let's not talk about what it actually means when a language needs some mechanism like that… My "WTF per Minute" output just reached a new all time high, I guess.

I mean dentists who peddle homeopathic remedies.
This literally happened to me where a dental surgeon had me purchase some homeopathic thing to use before a surgery and gave me scare tactics about how much I needed to use it. I ended up forgetting to use it, and was freaked out. When they told me not to worry, I had a hunch, and sure enough when I got home, I saw "homeopathic" on it.

I ceased all service with this dental surgeon and filed complaints with my states dental board. They told me to pound sand, as I have to show that this stuff would hurt people. You could hear my eyes roll as I listened to the states dental investigator explain this crap to me.

Ever met a three year old? It’s a complete mystery the human race survived this state of complete suicidal insanity. For all their beauty and cuteness I would be careful with claims of intelligence. It’s very narrow and very specific.

By having kids myself I actually started to demote human intelligence. We are smart eventually but it takes a long, long time and there is a mind boggling amount of stupidity before that stage is reached. Our final stage is indeed very impressive, I agree.

While there are some regulations, it's basically a tug of war between business interests (insurance, hospitals, pharma, device manufacturers, testing companies, revolving door government agencies) that buy politicians and scam the government* and patients. No one would plan a health system this way, but planned economies (for the interests of regular people, not private equity) are "socialism" so we get to be the victims of life-or-death extortion rackets.

Anyway, our government continues to denounce as "authoritarian and oppressive" the tiny socialist island nation of Cuba that built an incredibly impressive health system that exports doctors (such as to Italy at the start of the ongoing pandemic) when they can't even get metal for syringes b/c of U.S. sanctions.

I believe "Can an LLM do X?" is often the wrong question. One should ask "How much prompting does it take to get it to do X?", and more specifically "How specific to the task does the prompting have to be" and "How close is the mental effort to create the prompt to just solving the task".

And in this case clearly GPT-4 can do the task with minimal prompting effort.

German, not US accents! Terrible article.

I was suspicious about the lack of references.

Note that the original research [1] (a working paper from three years ago) that these news items don't link to appears to be about German accents and dialects, at least wrt the headline 20% figure here.

The recent study [2] also referred to is about American accents. It quotes the earlier paper (without reference or clarification it's a different country, which doesn't bode well for the quality of the research in the second paper), and the erroneous implication is presumably used without fact checking by the "journalists" involved in writing the OP here.

You're splitting hairs here.

I live in Canada, where pharmacies have been giving out free "COVID-19 antigen" tests, which initially were required to take for people who either had symptoms of COVID-19 or had been in contact with other people who had tested positive, even if they didn't have symptoms.

I took a look at the test kit right now, and it doesn't make this distinction; whether or not you're symptomatic, the test tells you whether you have likely been infected with COVID-19 if you test positive for COVID-19 antigens. Let me read you some of what's on the box:

> If you do not have symptoms of COVID-19, you will need at least two tests per person.

> COVID-19 Antigen self-test for infection detection

> in-vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19

From the instruction booklet included:

> If your first or second test is positive, then proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 have been found in your specimen and you likely have COVID-19

It does insinuate that there's a possibility you could test positive and still not have COVID-19, but there's no indication that this is related to whether or not you're symptomatic. Everything about the packaging and instructions indicates to me that if you test positive, you likely have COVID-19, even if you're asymptomatic

I wonder if 'ChatGPT' is being used as a generic noun by a lot of those surveyed, I can possibly stretch my belief to believing 14% of people have tried some form of conversational AI, including bing, bard, and random chatbots, but for it to be specifically ChatGPT seems high.
The part where a cache SHOULD have “knowledge of the semantics of the content itself” in combination with “normalization is performed solely for the purpose of generating a cache key; it does not change the request itself” is the scary part.

It may sound cool and efficient on paper, just trim the whitespace and sort all json dictionaries right? But in practice it adds too much complexity, eventually implementations of this semantics will start to drift between cache and real backend. Case in point: SAML XML signatures.

This is how one creates a cache poisoning vulnerability. If a request is normalized as a cache key, use the normalized request when sending to the backend also. If you don’t trust that process you shouldn’t trust it as the cache key either.

Proxies should be dumb, just hash the raw string for the cache key.
And FreeBSD and OpenBSD supply nvi as their vi.

In contrast, there are plenty of people that push this as a handy default. It's all over the place and sneaks in via all sorts of routes -- very unfortunately for those people who want vi to invoke something that is closer to genuine Joy vi than VIM and NeoVIM are, even in their "compatible" modes.

Just one example is the default yashrc that is used by the Watanabe shell: https://github.com/magicant/yash/blob/trunk/share/initializa...
