There is damn good reason for that. Wife is a doctor, although not a pediatrician. There are some long term stats that if kid receives antibiotics before age of 1, the risk of getting diabetes later in life jumps by at least 30%.

We have tons of doctors as friends, most work in biggest hospital in Switzerland (HUG in Geneve), and all with small kids adhere to this and try to steer away from atbs as much as possible. Its not some quack unproven theory.

Thats just 1 specific situation, you can deduct that atbs do quite a mess in those little bodies and it doesnt stop with age of 1.

If you meant even adult people dont get atbs automatically, thats also is great approach especially longterm. Most infections dont need them, they do more harm than good in the body. But uneducated folks that suffer seek literally anything that can help them, some basic medical facts be damned, so doctors sometimes give up and give atbs to obnoxious patients. Then there are of course those bacterial infections where they help, but they are rather small % and usually not the most severe ones.

No need to go to such philosophical depths. We're only poor engineers trying to come up with workable model. The periodical table of elements was a true boon and it is unlikely these "foreign keys" will change, but still - it alone isn't fully suitable as data model for chemistry.
I find myself coming back to Data and Reality on a periodic basis to remind me that the model is just the model.

No, rather than the body being silently ignored in the caching (or even proxying!) logic of some middleboxes, because "since GET will never have a body, for efficiency, we won't bother to check for one."
But freedom of movement does trump your right.

At least as far as COVID is concerned, and that's because COVID isn't a realistic concern for most children.

There are people (children, but also others) for whom it is a marked concern, and appropriate risk mitigation strategies should be taking. Working with the gung-ho assumption that all spaces are essentially risk free would represent a fail in your duty of care.

You don't need to "talk anything about morality" to make a statement about it. In fact you flatly dismissed any concept of ownership except the one in which I am the strongest and I own a thing because I took it by force and hold on to it by the same means, so that is your concept of a moral basis for ownership, whatever you want to call it.

If you would like to clarify your position, feel free to do so. But I'm afraid doing so may undermine the point you were trying to make.
So the dialectic here is:

> AI Industry: Generative AI is sensitive to the semantic properties of code

> Credulous Fanatic: Yes! Of course! Here's an infinite number of cases to confirm that idea

> Scientist: Here's a single case which shows that's false

> Credulous Fanatic: But... "some irrelevant unevidenced point about human capabilities, 101 distractions, repetition of the latest OpenAI press release"

Conclusion: ChatGPT is not sensitive to the semantic properties of code. It's output displays that apparent property in many useful cases.
This is how the industry works. People make bets based on their estimation of how a book is going to fly...and nobody really knows for sure.

That's one of the Halstead metrics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halstead_complexity_measures). It's all based on the number of operands and operators in your code. To make things simpler and practical, FTA combines these metrics with cyclomatic complexity (effectively the number of logical paths), normalizes them and produces a single number with accompanying 'assessment'.

Thanks. This is a great example for the uselessness of ChatGPT. It creates infinite recursion and claims that new functions are a "workaround against confusion", when they are of course still confusing.

This is on the level of a 5-year-old who has picked up some phrases and wants to sound smart.
Yeah 3.5 seems to have an complexity cap, where beyond a certain point it just won't be able to follow you. Easier to confuse it with misdirection. But GPT-4 has been shown to be much better at this exact thing. The appendix example isn't surprising to anyone who has used both models. So it's strange they would include an example like that, state the result wrong, and also naively accept the conclusion of the body of the paper (that actually GPT-4 is worse). There's a big contradiction there they just don't address at all.

I remember seeing a DW documentary a couple of years ago about how differently billionaires behave in Germany compared to the US ("The discreet lives of the super rich" was its name apparently). If one accepts the basic premise of the documentary (that the German billionaires avoid flaunting their wealth and strive to maintain privacy), it might explain why billionaires in Germany could live their lives without security while it would be unthinkable for their American counterparts.
Super rich who are famous, probably. It's also a matter of convenience: you don't want thousands of people with "great investment ideas" to approach you constantly, and the security will not only stop you being assaulted but also stop randoms from coming up to you.

But I do know someone who is merely an heir, who doesn't need to live with a bunch of security all the time, because he's not famous.

So probably fame has more to do with it than wealth. Not sure what you do if you're famous but not wealthy, I imagine that could be problematic.
Taken your prompt and slightly modified it:

Q: Let's play a game where we swap the names of library functions in Python. Round one: print is now called len, and len is now called print. Using these swapped functions, write a function that prints the length of its input. Remember to take your time and think carefully, step by step.

Solved with the following, on second try:

A: <<<

To write a function using the swapped function names, we will use "print" to get
the length and "len" to display the output. Here's the code:

```python
def swapped_len_function(input_element):
length = print(input_element) # Using the "print" function to find the length of the input
len(str(length)) # Using the "len" function to display the calculated length

# Test the swapped_len_function with an example input
example_input = "OpenAI"
swapped_len_function(example_input)
```

In this code, we define a function called `swapped_len_function` that takes an
input parameter `input_element`. Within the function, we use the `print`
function (which now returns the length of input) to calculate the length of
`input_element` and store the result in the variable `length`. We then use the
`len` function (which now prints the input value) to display the length as an
output.

>>>

On the first try, it almost got it right, then confused itself at the end and computed but did not output the length.

Why Buying a Chunk of America Can Be an Inflation Hedge
I recently learnt that Denmark and the US are the only two countries with a fixed debt limit. Several other countries have relative to GDP debt limits. The purpose is the same; to ensure that executive branch can borrow money without having to ask the legislative branch each time. The US debt limit has existed since 1939 in its current form, but it was only recently (like since the 1980s) that it has become a hot potato. Denmark's has existed since 1993, and only been raised once, though far higher than the actual debt.

Other countries don't have these restrictions (fixed or relative), where it's usually because those countries' constitutions allow the executive branch to simply borrow money whenever it sees fit.
>Funding has all but dried up. The industry raised a record $895 million in last year’s first quarter. So far in the current quarter, the figure is about $10 million, according to data provider AgFunder.

I think a big reason for this significant drop between last quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023 is AGI. All the money in the VC world is now flowing towards AI and all other industries are going to take a hit similar to AgTech
> You can change the specific colors used by your terminal emulator, at least for the basic 16 colors.

Doesn't that contradict the "semantic marking" argument? Now you can't predict what the output will look like, and someone might like the color of grep output, but not ls.

I simply alias most commands that output color, BTW. The GNU utils all seem to support --no-color, and that's reasonable too, and flexible, except aliasing can be a bit tricky, and you have to add it for multiple commands, and scripts often don't recognize it.

The only disadvantage of NO_COLOR is that you can't unset it at the start of the command line. At least, I wouldn't know how. NO_COLOR=true/false could be switched per command.

> Why should `ls` show files in alphabetical order? Wouldn’t the last-use order be more helpful?

Apart from the fact that looking for a name becomes harder (and you clearly don't know what you're looking for if you only use ls), that ls -1tr is your friend, and that there always is some order, last-use order doesn't make sense for other cmd line utilities. There's no point in a global "SORT_ORDER=last-use" environment variable.
IMO, the main impedance towards scripted graphics facilitating hot reloading is that they are generally coded in object hierarchies whose nested state is difficult to serialise. I have found using the 2d canvas context as an immediate mode renderer alongside a single global store allows me to create workflows more similar to what one would expect with React.
I tried several of open LM to test what they can. The performance is very poor on PC with GPU and quality is far away to use them in commercial tasks. But to play for fun and chat like a friend "Hello, what do you think about cats? " can be ok.
But that simply isn't true either.

Perfect eradication has to be the objective, not simply stopping it in its tracks. Otherwise, whenever you open up, you start spreading again.

It's also a rather offensive appeal to human superiority in as much as it totally ignores the various animal reservoirs.

This. Plus it is a good idea to specify the minimal recommended hash algorithm to have some manageable expectations on collisions. "The cache key collision rate is guaranteed to be not worse than SHA-256".
No. The problem here is, "scientists" believe GPT models couldn't possibly be in any way exhibiting forms of thinking or intelligence similar to humans, and so they assume they must be doing some specific kind of computation humans are not, despite every interaction with ChatGPT being evidence to the contrary. They design a test that a human would not pass (despite their claims), but their imagined specific computational system would - and then act all proud and mighty after ChatGPT fails it too.

The only real insight from this event is: the authors of this paper imagined ChatGPT to be something it isn't, then demonstrated it in fact isn't it, and think they've discovered something.

> there's a big usability gap around correctness

From an engineer's perspective I can see this seems minor -- but from a scientific perspective, it's kinda a crazy statement, right?

Imagine an alien who speaks english giving apparently correct descriptions of, eg., a room; and then, seemingly at random, saying wholly false things with the confidence (etc.) of its other statements.

A scientist studying this alien would therefore reasonably conclude that the alien wasn't at all sensitive to what the words mean, describe (etc.) but was engaged in a strange game of regurgitation which fools us much of the time.

ie., However it generates a response to a prompt, this "correctness issue" refutes the claim that it does so via being responsive to the meaning of the prompt.

I'm always quite disappointed by the extraordinary levels of credulity around this technology, and how it seems to take place --- in even somewhat scientific minds --- outside the bounds of ordinary science.

The relevant people to assess how a machine works, we're led to believe, is the credulous fools who use it. AI systems are valid targets of scientific analysis, as the above alien -- but the conclusions of this analysis do not fit the narrative.
Bayes' theorem is not enough, I think you have to weight how expensive is the test, what are the consequences of false positives and true positives.

For example a low price test with almost zero both false positive and negative rate whose associate treatment has low cost and risk and that can save life of patients seems to me a test that should be applied to anyone at risk.
Seems like there is a simple solution . Just remove the encryption key from the emulator and ask the user for it

Rationality’s building blocks are themselves not rational. I don’t know where this idea came from that logical thought somehow springs into life fully formed at once. Logos?

I find it more helpful to think of human thought as consisting of multitudes of little patterns, all wired up together to correlate but individually unrecognizable and certainly not traceable to some concrete part of a problem. At some unknown and slightly fuzzy point our dreamlike mentations start resembling some form of rational thought. But it’s a mirage that will fade again in time. Like how clouds suddenly and instantly look like a rabbit, it’s a trick. Thousands of patterns that are not rabbitlike in any way had to help that activation along the way.

I think the trick is building so much margin, so much room between dreamlike mentations and “rationality” that the entity stays coherent most of the time under normal circumstances. I think this is vaguely what happens with moving from gpt3 to gpt4, it got some breathing room.

Remember it is quite easy to trick a human into decoherence as well.
What we have in much of Europe is mostly a dream compared to clusterfuck that US healthcare is. US has by far the highest costs globally, unavoidable even if insured. People here never think 'should I go to doctor, can I afford treatment'. Thats 3rd world country stuff.

Yes we pay for it, much less than US, but its not part of our net salary so nobody actually cares, this topic is simply not discussed by commin folks, and you can easily see how much stress it causes even to wealthy US folks.

We treat people in same way regardless of their origin, wealth, status, even homeless get top notch care if they dont run away from it.

Something in your words tell me you are not a standard patient.
What model would you propose? You don't know the likelihood in advance, do you?

The only thing that could have been added (that I can think of!) is that the likelihood of cheating is not memoryless, as the binomial process assumes, but rather that a cheater would not copy a few answers, but very many. So the chance that a cheater picks the bad answer is > 0.2, the chance that someone who doesn't know the answer = 0.2, and the chance that someone who does < 0.2.

But given the fact that we don't know the correct probabilities, nor the scale of cheating, and not even how often people take a random guess, makes the model a decent starting point, IMO, for getting a first estimate.

After all, the teacher is not researching stochastic models of cheating, but just grading papers.
Even in America, there are many discreet billionaires that’ll likely not need round-the-clock security.

Sorry, but a little bit of brutal honesty for you. If this is how you're living your life, you are leaving a trail of people behind you that think you're an absolute dick.

The people you responded to spoke about conversations where they didn't attack their friend/partner ("you're being an arsehole"), they spoke honestly about how they felt ("Whoa, that hurt"). Both are honest, but yours is defence through attack. Their's is laying themselves bare. It's very different.

You probably like people with thick skins because they are the only people that stick around you.

...and yes, I realise I'm attacking you, but hopefully you'll take it as a friendly gesture.

One of the strangest behaviours I've seen from ants is seeing them(forest ants I believe) walk around on a catnip plant, clearly intoxicated, i.e unable to do anything but walk back and forth meaninglessly on the branches. And yet they seemed to seek out these catnip plants in significant numbers, which almost suggested some vague intent to get high.

Even if none of this was rooted in retribution or racism or unilateral decision making, the fact that a group representing some of the brightest developers working today did not have the foresight to see how this would play out in today's social climate, is too bad.

Event organizers need someone who can think through all the angles of decisions made and how it affects attendees and the communities being represented. The fact that a group made up of logical thinkers couldn't foresee this (or maybe they did and just don't care), is sad.
Both are excellent books, worth a read.
Employer subsidized plans are also mostly compliant with ACA. Based on the trends in figure 13.3, I might even say less than 10% of Americans with employer subsidized health insurance are in non ACA compliant plans.

I realise that this is the premise of the Musk takeover. How does that work in practice? Twitter was a public company, with plenty of current and former employees having shares due to compensation.

In other words: I can see that it is no longer traded at the stock exchange, but I don't know enough about stock to understand how the genie is forced back into the bottle.
