There's no reason to believe it's a Gaussian distribution around the mean. Given that there are admission tests, you'd rather hope it's only the tail end of a Gaussian distribution, with the cutoff being what's required to pass the bar.

> While attorneys swear an oath to set aside their personal prejudices, biases, and beliefs to faithfully uphold the law and represent their clients, generative artificial intelligence is the product of programming devised by humans who did not have to swear such an oath. As such, these systems hold no allegiance to any client, the rule of law, or the laws and Constitution of the United States (or, as addressed above, the truth). Unbound by any sense of duty, honor, or justice, such programs act according to computer code rather than conviction, based on programming rather than principle

Minor quibble: I think the majority of bias would creep in when training, not necessarily during writing the code. If trained on biased data you'll get biased results. RLHF by it's nature is likely to introduce bias, but maybe bias most are ok with, but maybe not lawyers. Later, while actually serving responses, it's possible that OpenAI/others introduce checks for certain things (e.g. does the input contain the word 'gun'? If so refuse to answer) that are also sources of bias. In theory you could also taint the responses by changing the prompt, but that seems unlikely.

All this just to say that I think the judge is right to do this, his bias argument is a bit of a miss.
This is a local procedural rule for one federal judge in Texas. It affects a few dozen people (mostly lawyers). Why was it on HN #1? Are people misinterpreting the title, thinking it's something that remotely matters?
Basically, people from all walks of life, which is one of Freemasonry's benefits: It allows you to meet people you wouldn't otherwise have met and get to know their perspectives and points of view.

That said, since its self-proclaimed purpose is to make good people better and a Mason should attempt to become better version of themselves, you'll most likely find people who seek purpose and self-improvement beyond shallow self-optimization (honing your skills is very much encouraged, too, though).
There's ones on either end of El Paso that always seem weird to me. They're clearly inside US territory on the highway and they're performing analysis on occupants of the vehicle as well as registration and citizenship. I've never heard of one 100 miles inland, not to say it doesn't exist but a maps link might be helpful. For example: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1L872WkbWL11Zob-E9O...

How difficult is it now to train your own voice models? I remember seeing years ago that people had Obama, JayZ, and Eminem able to say arbitrary things, the issue was the hardware and having a massive amount of text that matches what they are saying.

The Home Assistant team really seems like they are going to accomplish their goal of fully local voice assistants this year, but are avoiding any discussion of training or using any model that isn't fully licensed and open sourced. Piper seems nice, but there are dozens of other voices I would like instead, including my own voice.
Fortunately, coaching sports for children begins about age 6 in the US and continues through 16+... so there is plenty available.

Scouting (girls or boys, in spite of BSA's recent settlement) continues to add a lot of value to kids' lives, and ime attract many people with a strong moral compass.

Robotics - the FIRST program. Mechanical, EE, or SWE experiences can let you work with teenagers in a very impactful way. This would not require as much of a time commitment as a sport or scouting group.
I've added it in the original post:

Hardly a wild take though, is it? You're in the context of "I am mostly self-taught (and not even the best 'student' in that context, haha) so I'm sure I just lack the overall knowledge base/big-picture understanding" and you come in and say view = func(state).

Here's how the React docs introduce it:

"React is a JavaScript library for rendering user interfaces (UI). UI is built from small units like buttons, text, and images. React lets you combine them into reusable, nestable components."

Hopefully you can appreciate the difference.

It is just weird to me that using those names was perceived as a necessary step.
Last long enough and every platform is a villain:

- Amazon

- Ebay

- Shopify

- Stripe

- PayPal

...

At scale there's a relentless torrent of fraud, scammers, and automated processes trying to steal anything not locked down. Platforms under invest in customer support, rely heavily on heuristics (machine learning and ... AI!) based automation to stop the bleeding, and there's always a story like this since these systems are very imperfect. I don't know what the solution is, but I do remember Etsy being a darling (supports small businesses! Down with Amazon!) only to see it now full of cheap Chinese knockoffs (not at Amazon levels, but getting there) masquerading as bespoke items from small shops in Italy.

Show HN: WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) with Sockets for Go
Go v1.21, scheduled for release in August 2023, adds experimental support for the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI). It'll be possible to natively compile server-side WebAssembly applications with Go, making Go a first-class citizen along with C/C++, Rust and Zig.

GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm go build ...

WASI is still in preview and is missing some key features, e.g. the ability to create sockets. Some WebAssembly runtimes have taken the initiative to extend the WASI preview, enabling a wider range of applications to run as WebAssembly modules.

Today, we're open sourcing our WASI library and sockets extension for the Wazero WebAssembly runtime (https://wazero.io).

https://github.com/stealthrocket/wasi-go

The WASI library includes a wasirun command that can be used to run server-side WebAssembly applications compiled with Go:

~ $ cat << EOF > hello.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() { fmt.Println("Hello, World!") }
EOF

~ $ GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm gotip build -o hello.wasm hello.go
~ $ wasirun hello.wasm
Hello, World!

Non-blocking I/O and basic networking is also supported when compiling apps from Go, e.g. see https://gist.github.com/chriso/6c71e968ef1002981a6ff46ceaa39.... Until Go v1.21 is released in August, you can use gotip (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/dl/gotip) to try GOOS=wasip1 features.

The provided sockets extension is compatible with the WasmEdge (https://wasmedge.org) runtime, allowing wasirun to run more complicated server-side applications compiled from C/C++/Rust/Zig for WasmEdge.

We have many exciting use cases for WebAssembly and WASI planned and can't wait to share them with you.
Well, Joyent spun off Node as a separate org, and io.js's developers pretty much ran the dev side of the new Node.js org. So it really didn't disappear so much as replaced the upstream for the most part.

I think a lot of Rust's governance and leadership has left some poor impressions in a lot of ways and the Trademark licensing is just the step too far for a lot of people. I don't think the goal is to necessarily destroy rust, but definitely change the direction somewhat dramatically.
How does this help somebody who is being impersonated?
Every cab I've been in in the last decade has expected that you're paying by card. Many prefer it, because the drivers don't want to carry a bunch of cash. Many cab companies even have apps where you follow the progress of the cab you called, and pay for the ride.

I have no idea what the tip expectation of cab drivers are. I tip the same rate I tip for all traditionally tipped services. I don't actually care whether or not that meets their expectations.

I've known a couple of people who never tip cabbies. Nothing bad happens to them.

> I really hate shelling out $60 for a 20 minute taxi ride, then being expected to shell out an extra $20 on top of that and getting endless grief over wanting to use a credit card to top it all off

Drivers actually comment on your tip amount? And they complain about an extremely generous 33% tip?? I wouldn't use that cab company ever again.
I don't really mean about the toothbrush. I mean, why is it legal for NXP to make chips that permanently brick instead of just factory resetting when too many wrong passwords are tried?
I haven't tried the app, but I'm almost certain you can make certain favourable comparisons of page render speed.
This lawyer does not read news, and he is not skeptical of overhyped technology. He might learn to be wary of AI now, but the underlying issue, this appalling lack of critical thinking skill, isn't likely to change.
It follows from recent HN discussions:

It's also likely the first of similar local rules in other courts, and it wouldn't surprise me if an equivalent rule is eventually added to the FRCP.
I guess there's a spectrum - at one end are consensual settlements, in the middle somewhere are non-consensual settlements of claims where party A is suing party B because party B did something to reduce the value of party A's claim in the bankruptcy estate, and at the most controversial end (like this case) are non-consensual settlements of cases where party A sues both the bankrupt company and party B over something they both did.

The fact that this got overturned on initial appeal and then the original agreement reinstated on further appeal does suggest that it's at least legally controversial.

The arguments made by the court seem reasonable enough (that this may be the best chance for those suing the Sacklers to get any money out of them given the jurisdiction and counterclaim issues, and that the litigation would likely be expensive and time-consuming if it were to proceed) but I suppose it will strike many as odd that a bankruptcy court gets to make that judgment (and without actually hearing the cases themselves).
If that's so, can't you find out where they are connecting from (or other attributes) and show them a different website?

This sounds a little bit like a conspiratorial slippery slope. Just because they want to regulate large, expensive deployments of a unique type of software doesn't mean they want or will try to control everything.
I've longed for a secular "church". A place to gather with the community on Sunday to listen to a non-religious sermon (the importance of self-control and techniques to help; the role emotions play in our lives, what they are, where they come from, and how to manage them), form smaller interest groups, and connect with people in the area. I believe The School of Life [0] tried this in London but I don't see any mention of it on their website today.

I've had luck with sports, specifically cycling. Check out Strava for groups in your area and just show up to a ride and introduce yourself.

It's a legitimate call out if a bit blunt. You really have no business attempting to assess the value of a system that you haven't even bothered to interact with.

You're right. Housing costs can never really drop steeply because you depend on sellers. Most don't need to sell so they will just sit it out and wait for better times. The second effect is as you say, builders simply stop building in unfavorable conditions. There will not ever be adequate supply.

Change.org dynamically updates the goal I think, it's usually slightly higher than the current signature count, I guess to make people think their signature will help hit that "important" goal.
You can give it prep time, tell it to reason out loud and it will write a paragraph (or two) about what it is thinking--or rather, the paragraph is its "thinking".
When the answer is something ridiculous or stupid, it's 95%+ of the time GPT-3.5-turbo and is rarely disclosed by the other party. GPT-4 is an order of magnitude better, if not two orders of magnitude better.

"To be one, ask one" is their common saying about how to join. There are 3 degrees (entered apprentice, fellow craft, and master mason). Typically, someone who wants to join a lodge will contact the secretary of the lodge to express their interest. The secretary should provide information on either 'stated communications' (regular meetings) or some informal event that would be conducive to meeting some of the members of the lodge. Once the person decides that they want to join a specific lodge, they should ask the secretary (or whoever else) for a petition. You fill out the petition and then the lodge will form an 'investigating committee' to meet with you personally to determine whether they would be willing to have you join. The investigating committee then reports their findings at the next stated meeting. The lodge then votes on whether to accept the petition (or not). After the vote, the secretary will notify the applicant and ask them to come to the lodge on a specific date and time for the initiation as an entered apprentice (the first degree).

If there are multiple lodges in your area, I would highly encourage you to visit all of them. Every lodge has its own personality. You might be a good fit for one lodge and a poor fit for another.

I feel like I'm missing something here. It's really just a single sentence? Why would so many sign their name to this? It's like signing your name to "Keep children safe" but providing zero remarks, feedback, suggestions, etc for HOW and with WHAT and by WHO.

Why would so many academics / industry leaders sign their name to what amounts of marketing fluff?

I have an Airbnb support horror story too.

I reported the space being poorly cleaned first thing in the morning (I had arrived at 1 AM). They asked if I preferred a phone call or chat. I didn't want to spend a morning on the phone with them, so I chose chat.

Every 20 minutes for the next few days, I got "Hi, I'm NAME_HERE, and I'm taking over your case!" The names changed, but they never actually _did_ anything beyond "taking over" the case. I felt like I was in a Seinfeld episode.

One of them then decided the best resolution was to tell the host I'd complained about the cleanliness (without including me at all). I started getting nasty messages from the host, who thought I'd happily stayed there for 4 days and then spontaneously opened a complaint. So now on top of sleeping in a gross Airbnb, I was getting constant notifications on my phone of the host calling me all sorts of nasty names.

I opened a _new_ ticket and chose phone support to finally get a hold of somebody. Her accent told me she was in an offshore call center, but she was helpful in getting it resolved. I think they had me book a hotel for the remainder of the days and reimbursed me, or something to that effect.

After I checked out, the host filed a frivolous damages claim against me. I clicked the "not my problem" button and thankfully never heard about it again.

I will never, ever use Airbnb chat support again. Was perhaps the worst customer service experience I've ever had.

He never asked you to explain how to use the tool. You're assuming he doesn't know how to use a tool that requires approximately 10 minutes to learn. It's completely patronizing to ignore his point and continue with "Well have you tried.." in a way that fundamentally does not address the issue he's bringing up at all. Your tips and tricks add nothing to the conversation.

Your first point is just reiterating your assertion that we're disputing. Your second point is not "clearly true" or "true at all". The average cost to travel for an abortion is in the thousands, given the need to stay multiple days and the fact that insurance may not cover it. Most Americans cannot afford an unexpected multi-thousand dollar expense. Half cannot afford a surprise $400 bill[1].

The majority of people in America are unable to cross state lines to get an abortion, financially or in the time off work.

Theranos sued multiple blood pathologists into oblivion who were pointing out that it was fundamentally physically impossible to do what they claimed they were already doing. Thepathologyblawg was one. No amount of microfluidics can improve a 100ml arterial blood test to being done with a 1ml finger prick test because of biology (capillaries filter cells by size) and the statistics of sample sizes.

It isn't a matter of "not having met deadlines". It was just fraud mixed with enough money to hide the fraud, so maybe a ponzi?
Probably depends on which body you are using. In mine it both flashes a tiny LED and does an extra little buzz-buzz buzz-buzz signal with the ultrasonics when you turn it on (or off, can't recall which) when the head has 'expired'. Continues to work fine, though.

2. Would not pay for click tracking. Might use it if it’s free.

Not just the developer, but anyone who posted any sort of text in the training data. I assume that includes a pretty wide majority of English speakers. That makes the likelihood of actual agreement with the oath for all “participants” in the AI training low, to say the least.

That point about swearing an oath is a good one. It’s a reasonable position (assuming it’s the court’s position) that an AI (assuming this is an “AI”) being asked to provide testimony or a legal argument is doing so on behalf of all who trained it. Why would “my” training argue in “your” case? What if one doesn’t agree with the oath?
