Add to that most of the time GUI is just so much more work then writing code.

I don’t have to click around to change small thing I can jump to place in file and have it changed with 2-3 moves and GUI always is open some panel find another option open pop up etc.
I don't see anyone talk about search discoverability. Many, many people add "site:reddit.com" when searching for product reviews and other information to weed out the garbage, and so far as I know, it currently isn't possible to search usenet with Google, Bing, etc.

I think it'd basically mean there was an easy way to access usenet text groups via the browser, and thus also an easy way for the average Joe to access usenet.

Some have already mentioned spam and moderation, and I think this will be a huge factor. Without the ability to moderate, bad actors quickly ruin any potentially-popular social media outlet. Most comments are happy about the lack of moderation so far, but that's actually a problem IMO.

I'm probably using Google less but just relying on ChatGPT is such a PITA with the hallucinations and how its reasoning just breaks down a few prompts in. It will "forget" instructions, mess up output formats, any facts have to be double-checked, etc. It barely worth the effort sometimes.
The model didn’t change but doesn’t mean the inference didn’t change.

This is pretty much it.

It would be tolerable if it was one or two people. But as recent news have shown once people see there is little consequence in stealing up to a certain amount then it emboldens people and it happens in large numbers.

So a bunch of mouth breathers think stealing from the rich corporation is ok. It happens in numbers and then draconian measures that punish employees and/or law abiding, tax paying and merch paying citizens are enacted.

Always.

So no, this shit ain't victimless in the long run.

And the worst part is that this mentality does not stop a big retail stores. This sordid mentality that it's ok to steal doesn't prevent thieves from stealing from smaller business that cannot handle the loss of inventory as easily.

These stores pay the ultimate price by firing staff and/or shutting down.

Why? Cause thieves rarely differentiate. If you steal that's pretty much your life. And that's your thing.
> But if it's useful I'd argue it's deifinitionally not spam for you.

That is absolutely false. Spam is not defined based on it's utility, but based on whether a message is solicited.

If the author of a repo hasn't signed their repo up for an automated PR bot, that bot sending out PRs is absolutely spam.

It obvious you have limited interaction with people from around the world since you seem to have no knowledge about how diverse many other parts of the world are, with much better results too.

I actually meet a lot of Indians who critise the US over places like Europe and South East Asia because of the lack of mixing between races/ethnicities in the US. I often get Americans in East Asia who don't understand that ethnic minorities from other parts of the world frequently make friends across ethnic boundaries. In America you are divided by race, whereas in the rest of the old world people mix like a port market - people in America seem to forget that inter-race and inter-ethnic immigration has happened across the old world for millennia, and they have been mixing for thousands of years.
I doubt the March 14 model is any different, since it's versioned and I don't see why OpenAI would want to change it behind the scenes.

Also, companies are evaluating GPT-4 to determine whether they want to pay for it, so OpenAI has an strong incentive to not downgrade at least the API.

I believe the May 5 model is different, at least in the chat interface, because it's fine-tuned to detect jailbreaks and the temperature/other hyper-parameters may have changed. And I can imagine this fine-tuning making the model less creative and worse at solving analytical tasks.

Personally I haven't noticed any change, except in my own awareness. Sometimes GPT4 gets very hard prompts right, and sometimes it gets simple problems wrong. So it's not hard to see how people can form biased opinions from selective attention or just luck.
>I love my Meta Quest 2, and I'll blindly buy Quest 3 as soon as available

As another happy Quest 2 owner, please wait for some reviews before puling the trigger. It seems most of the Quest 3 improvements come on the AR side, which I honestly don't care for, as I just want escapism out of my apartment in the form of immersive VR games.

Also, the Quest 2 will be getting extra performance via a SW update, so don't throw it away just yet:

"In an upcoming software update, we’re updating the Quest 2 and Quest Pro GPU and CPU. Quest 2 and Pro will see an up-to 26% CPU performance increase with an up-to 19% GPU speed increase for Quest 2 and 11% for Quest Pro."[1]

I'm honestly impressed how much graphic performance they can squeeze out of that old-ish smartphone SOC. Wish all SW companies would put in such efort in continuous performance optimizations, especially on the PC side (the Electron Windows 11 weather app uses 500MB RAM lol)

If this is a causal relationship, how can we explain the apparent heritability of schizophrenia? Some cursory Googling shows 79% heritability found in one Danish study.

That's a good idea, although the numbers could use some tweaking.
ΛΛΛ
The problem with RISC-V is the lack of standardisation. Every CPU has its own extensions, there is no standard platform like the PC.

It suffers from the same problem as ARM: every board needs a custom setup just to be able to boot.
I definitely agree with this take. I had similar feelings to everyone in yesterday's thread complaining about the models failures but I agree that its just our shifting expectations and not a model update.

Throughout my life, I've been a player, coach, and referee. In each of those roles, I have been in tournaments where this was the way the tournament was scored.

Edit:
>though maybe they could go to extra time and penalties

As a referee, when a tournament is on the last day, it is not uncommon to hear various tournament officials saying within earshot of the refs "we need winners". This is of course a plausible deniability way of saying "be generous with penalties".
I use GPT-4 a lot and something has definitely changed in my recent experience. It's simply worse.

The following video conference with Robert Lahita is one of the more substantive discussions on the understanding of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that I've seen in a while.

https://youtu.be/FYYfHWR7WwY

In his presentation (~36:20) he has a slide stating that *67% of those with SLE have psychological or psychiatric issues*, 8-20% seizures, 3-16% cranial neuropathy. Of course, "psychological or psychiatric" could be depression and anxiety, and I don't mean to minimize those issues at all, but cognitive dysfunction is a bear in the room for all SLE patients and probably far more serious if one is unlucky enough to have that symptom manifest (most do not, as I understand it).

I will say that at disease onset and adjusting to having a disease, depression is common. It's life-changing, so to be expected. Ongoing, I think it's a constant battle as you're constantly reminded of limitations and pain is like an everyday companion that you learn to live with but sometimes the mental load can get overwhelming, triggering episodic depression. I know this from personal experience, but also my exposure to others with SLE and MS. As you go, it can be hard to know whether some mental and attitudinal issues are related to SLE and its side effects or just aging (e.g. increased anxiety, timidity, depression, memory loss, mental fog, fatigue).

And speaking of mental load, blocking out chronic pain takes a lot of mental energy, which is a zero-sum game - it indirectly results in a decreased ability to focus, engage, etc.

Regarding other comments here:

1) There are well over 200 identified "autoimmune disorders", and any amount of research that's compelled by having one of them will reveal how much and ironically how little the scientific community knows about causes, dynamics, and treatments for autoimmune disorders. In fact, the immune system itself is monstrously complex and it's amazing how mysterious it remains considering how much really is known about its mechanics.

2) Animal models for SLE (and I assume most autoimmune disorders of the same severity - not talking allergies and asthma here) are traditionally hard to create and have faith in, though this has been getting better. It makes sense that this has been challenging considering we don't know specific causes.

3) Pathogenesis - Environment (UV light, drugs, viruses, pollutants, etc.), hormones/epigenetics, genetics, stochastic factors (chance), comorbidities (e.g. hypertension), all seem to play a role, and none seem - on their own - to be good predictors of risk. It's thought that there's some "trigger" in the sense that all these factors reach some threshold that cause breakage in the system at a point in time and BAM! now you have Lupus or MS, for example. So it could be that you get infected with something and experience an extraordinary level of physical and mental stress at the same time, and it tips the scales. But on their own neither of these factors would be causal, and even together these wouldn't necessarily have the same impact on you at a different time in life or affect another the same way. Clearly there are missing links here.
This hasn't been my experience at all. I personally am great at thinking in logic programming. I often prototype algorithms or services in Prolog (for myself, not for wider circulation) because it matches how I think very well. I've had little trouble using cuts and other techniques to guide the search. But my experience working with others is that a lot of people find the Prolog search algorithm to be inscrutable and very non-intuitive. Sure one could make the argument as some FP advocates do that had we all started learning using logic programming ideas from the start that this would be the default, but in practice I find that most people struggle to structure their program in a way amenable to Prolog-style backtracking search.

Working on open source projects with other Prolog enthusiasts is a bit different because that crowd self-selects for being good with Prolog.
I think you may be misunderstanding this article. Intestinal permeability is not a diagnosis in this paper, they are referring to the physical permeability of the gut which can be altered in many diseases and is not in dispute (i.e. "altered gut permeability" is a symptom of a disease, not the disease itself).

"Leaky (or permeable) gut syndrome" is not a recognized disease.
By using a tool to push out the pins? That's not even remotely what GP is talking about. Look at their posted video to understand the difference.
That's true for today. If what happened with chess happens with LLMs, they're going to blow past us in reasoning ability in a few short years. And it might not be LLMs, it might be a new architecture, maybe one that has an LLM as a component. What matters is that people are trying to create AGI, and they've been getting closer and closer. All our models for how things will go will break down at that point, and I think it's foolish to assume that it'll turn out well without any evidence. (you can argue that it's foolish to assume it'll turn out badly too! But it's not foolish to assume that it might and therefore we should be very careful)

Also -- life isn't fair, it's possible that there's no way to create beneficial AGI in real life, and we should not rule that out as a possibility. Maybe it'll cause problems now, and more problems (or extinction) later.
I'm curious. May I ask what you're moving toward and what the motivations and reasons were? What was great and not great about building on/with Lisp?

I'm in the center of NYC so I'll answer this question. Currently, it's about $2,800 for a studio and $3,500 for a one bedroom. If you're single I'd say you need around 120k to live somewhat okay. That's 6.6k a month after taxes so minus about 3k it's 3.6k a month for bills, food, and however else you want to budget the rest. Depends on your lifestyle of course.

If you want a three bedroom then you'd want to live outside of NYC and commute about an hour by train. It'll be around 3k-4k then.
Shit man, I can't even hate you for that.

It wasn't that I didn't chew, it just didn't make a difference.

The React analogy doesn’t work, React is used because developers find it more productive to use. On the other hand people’s initial reaction to much modern art is “what the hell? you call this art?” so it is interesting to explore why it became very expensive and popular with elites despite the popular reaction.

Put another way, react would have probably gained a huge following without FB’s marketing (imagine if it was just a few hackers launching it as an open source project). Can we say that much modern art would have gained much fame if it wasn’t for certain critics promoting them or if they gained favourable attention from elites?

When they announced it at WWDC last year part of the developer context was talking about their new "MetalFX" upscaling system, which NMS is using. I imagine any ARM Mac will handle it pretty well with that up their sleeve.

And the Mac Mini has a fan (unlike the Macbook Air) which should be a big help in sustained workloads like gaming.
Agreed. I'm having trouble visualizing the layout of buttons 1, 2, and 3. I wonder if the author actually understands it well enough to explain, vs simply repeating what he was told.

I am a full stack developer and designer with experience of all aspects of building a product, both digital and physical. Before becoming a full time software developer I was a product design engineer in the Bio Tech industry. I previously built, and ran, a small business, and have experience of management and online marketing. I'm currently contracting, but looking at all opportunities. I am particularly interested in bridging the gap between highly technical products and usable design - my current contract is overhauling the front end for an antibody sequence and structure analysis workbench bioinformatics product used for drug discovery.

Sure, to solve a 5x5x5 puzzle we can test all 5!*5!*5! possibilities; it's faster than thinking it out. To solve a 7x7x7 one you'll need logic programming though.
Posted this in yesterday's thread, but once again I think this is just people feeling the magic wear off. People have poked around a lot more and found the flaws while also trying to get it to do real-world tasks. That wasn't true when it first came out.

It's fine, this tech has never been magic anyways, won't be replacing all our jobs, won't take over the world, etc. It's still awesome for what it is.
Anything where you get crash reports back from the field. It is very valuable to be able to read assembly code and map registers to their purpose, and then perhaps back to the source code that generated the assembly. Debuginfo will sometimes give you some of that, but is unreliable, incomplete, and can be hard to match up to the stripped binary you're looking at. Recognizing values that are likely to be stack vs uninitialized or poisoned vs corrupted vs nullptr or offsets to nullptr... it can turn a crash report from absolutely cryptic into something that gives you the lead you need.

(Also, if you are dealing with something with mass deployment, it's good to recognize the single-bit flips that are hallmarks of bad RAM. But don't assume too much; bit flips are also the sign of bit flag manipulations.)

they say the Standard contributes to SDG 9...

"Inclusive and sustainable industrialization, together with innovation and infrastructure, can unleash dynamic and competitive economic forces that generate employment and income"

Not clear how an arbitrary levy as this can contribute to an SDG goal. It is the definition of exclusion. A bright new thing can use the $230 to get several good database books.

Surely ISO has enough corporate stakeholders that can defray the cost of running the standardization process.

If you have ever played D&D with miniatures, it's like that, only the miniatures are glowy and sparkling and animated, and the board is very detailed. You pick the pieces up with your VR controllers and move them around.

Except you can zoom in to stick your face super close-up to the action to see it going down.

When you zoom out, you are, indeed, in someone's basement. When it's not your turn you can enjoy all the geeky easter eggs sitting around the basement.

It sounds cool like this, but I can assure you it's cooler than that. I first played it non-VR and enjoyed the game, and then played a game the second time in VR and literally said aloud, "Holy Shit!".
I went through that era and worked on one of the high-security systems mentioned.
We never got it to run fast enough on a PDP-11, partly because we ran out of 16-bit address space and had to remove functionality to get it to fit. The OS was written in Modula I.

The Orange Book / NSA approach to evaluation upset many vendors. The original policy, borrowed from safe and lock evaluation, was that vendors got two tries at security evaluation. For the first try, the evaluators told the vendor what problems they'd found. The second try was pass/fail, and failure meant rejection of the product. Published, public rejection as defective. A few systems did pass, but they were well out of the mainstream. Prime Computer had a secure operating system for their minicomputers. Most failed. Computer vendors hated that.

This resulted in demands that evaluation be outsourced to "third party labs" paid by vendors, instead of NSA employees. The third party labs could be paid to retest and retest until the thing passed. This was pretty worthless. There was even a demand from vendors that NSA stop promoting the higher levels of assurance as inappropriate to the commercial market.

Computer security was not a big issue within NSA at the time. They were still all about radio interception and analysis, and focused on the USSR. NSA's main facility is at Fort Meade, MD. There was (and still is) an auxiliary facility called Friendship Annex or FANX, near Friendship Airport, now Baltimore Washington International. FANX handled low-priority NSA functions, such as personnel and training. Being assigned to FANX was low-status within NSA. Computer security was at FANX. The location alone made it something of a career backwater. This had a non-trivial effect on the effort.
Yeah it's no judgement really just a self-realization that "I know I wouldn't have been happy doing what they've done" and breaking out of a fairly strong force of inertia
