I mean... The first one wouldn't be confusing, if it was plainly called Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech.

So a Norwegian interpreter - who has no obligation to know of Lincoln whatsoever - can read it and reasonably interpret it as a request for an address in Gettysburg, for Mr Lincoln.

Hence "EU and adjacent." Swiss law incorporates the problematic elements of GDPR, namely, its complain-investigate model and unilaterally-empowered regulator.

I keep seeing people say this, and I expect to see a decrease in the number of tweets I see linked from the subreddits I follow. But the tweets keep coming. Maybe it's subject matter.

>I don't believe that for a second.

This seems needlessly flippant and dismissive, especially when you could just crack open ChatGPT to verify, assuming you have plus or api access. I just did, and ChatGPT gave me a well-reasoned explanation that factored in the extra details about racing the other commenters noted.

>There are many examples where GPT4 fails spectacularly at much simpler reasoning tasks.

I pose it would be more productive conversation if you would share some of those examples, so we can all compare them to the rather impressive example the top comment shared.

>I wouldn't trust GPT4 to tell me how much fuel I should put in my car. Would you?

Not if I was trying to win a race, but I can see how this particular example is a useful way to gauge how an LLM handles a task that looks at first like a simple math problem but requires some deeper insight to answer correctly.
Indeed, you also can burn thousands of gallons of jet fuel and the tyres on a 747 actually spin fewer times than the tyres on a Citroen 2CV do just going to the supermarket.

The power in a fire is mostly released as heat, both because they're "compact" piles of burning stuff, and because they're more or less "red/yellow" black body radiators. If it was all released as visible light, burning 3 kg of wood (about 12kWh) over 10 hours would be about the brightness as several kilowatts of metal halide stadium floodlamp.

I also play some, and yeah that's incorrect. Also, there was recently a bunch of hype about an adversarial strategy that could beat AIs w/o deep readout (i.e. only using the 'policy network' nonlinear ML stuff and not enough actual calculation). Here's a vid of an amateur doing it.

It's another prime example of why users should be wary of always choosing automatic software updates, and particularly wary of any company that uses security and "we know what's best for our dumb users" as an excuse for trying to stop users from using only a manual update process.
There once was a company in Russia who tried to make their own wikipedia — but of course, they didn't have any resources to build their own content, so in their world, Europe in the middle ages was terrorized by mighty Nordic warriors called encyclongs (w and v are the same letter in Russian language).
I haven't watched the news in a while, but my memory of it is that the intelligence agencies had a constant presence on them, with multiple former employees working for all the major cable news networks and the agencies themselves being asked to comment on basically any remotely related issue.

Yeah, crappy example on my end - thank you for fleshing out the details ;).
I'm not sure I subscribe to this argument given that countries are already polluting massive amounts of CO2 (and SO2, until about five years ago), and nobody seems to be going to war over it. There are massive issues of equity wrapped up in maintaining the status quo as well as trying something different.

I would also point out that megafires are not the only symptom. Drought, floods, heat waves, hurricanes, and sea level rise are all driven by a warming planet. Surely there is a break even point where it's worth taking on additional risk in order to mitigate some of these problems.

Getting back to my original question: Where is that break-even? Maybe there simply isn't one, and we'd rather collectively go down with the ship.

Heap sort's worst- and average-case running time are both provably within a constant factor of optimality (both in running time and number of comparisons), but it's either likely or straight up provably not actually optimal in any of the four categories.

It's a shame that part-of-speech analysis tools aren't more widely available or widely used. That could at least reduce the damage done on "flat" -> "apartment", even when only considering entire words.
The stated goal of lockdowns was to "flatten the curve." The working assumption was that the virus would become endemic no matter what we tried, but by limiting interpersonal contact, we could decrease the rate of hospitalization to a manageable level. It is not reasonable to declare the lockdowns a total failure because they didn't achieve a goal they weren't intended to solve.
Dustbin is also UK English, and I (Canadian) don’t actually know what “visually a dustbin” looks like. In Japanese/English spoken in Japan, “dustbox” is also a term sometimes used for what I would call a small garbage can.

SurvAI: Data Modeling Using AI Agents, Inspired by Classical Ensemble ML
Hi everyone! I've been hard at work over the past month on a framework called surv_ai, and I'd love feedback from this community.

surv_ai is a large language model framework designed for multi-agent modeling. This allows large-language models to be used as engines to power research into predictive modeling, bias analysis, and other forms of comparative analysis.

From my understanding most other manufacturers either have slim margins, or are losing money on every EV sold. I sometimes worry that Tesla will dominate the EV market, as it's extremely difficult to compete at the current price point of the 3/Y.

I have a MYP and think it's an insane bang for the buck - to the point where I'm considering getting another.
This is the most 2023 answer possible but I wonder if LLM translation will help handle this sort of situation better.

An LLM first translates to tokens in more of a "concept space", then translates to other languages. So it would translate "zip file" to something completely different than "zip code", and translate to UK English correctly, or at least better I would hope.

They may not solve all problems, but maybe this one?
I wonder if a keyboard optimized for typists (typing in English with the most common word being ‘the’) is also optimal for programmers (writing code in say Python, with the most commonly used word likely being ‘def’ or ‘if’).

If that were the case, shouldn't google be equally capable of including so many examples in their own dataset?

Like, regardless of how it works under the hood, I as an end user just want a useful result. Even if ChatGPT is "cheating" to accomplish those results, it looks better for the end user.

The continued trickle of disappointing updates to Bard seems to indicate why Google hadn't productized their AI research before OpenAI did.

People are also ignoring the fact that we trained children to stay home by themselves and keep themselves occupied and only interact with other kids through computers and cell phones for almost 2 years due to COVID. I think the lockdowns really reprogrammed kids to interact with each other differently than they normally would have.

> In this case, I'm flabbergasted anyone ever thought that lockdowns alone would eliminate the disease, or that elimination was the goal of lockdowns. Are either of these common beliefs?

Quarantines and lockdowns work really well for less communicable diseases. Given we didn't know how communicable COVID was early on, or that the absurdly easy to spread omicron variant would come along, assuming proper lockdowns could contain COVID wasn't unreasonable.

Also, prior to omicron, some countries (Vietnam, China are the two I know of) did manage to completely stop COVID with targeted lockdowns and quarantines.

> Not really.

Oh, really? What's your solution to producing non-polluting power when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow?

> Electricity usage is not actually constant and nuclear power doesn't do load following unless you double the cost again

Can you explain how you've come to this conclusion?

We recently turned up a new nuclear power plant in Finland and they did nothing but turn up and down the generation levels when doing tests. Looking at the graphs, I can see output has varied between 3,3 and 4,3 GW this week.

The local wikipedia article on nuclear power states that power output can be regulated 5%/min, which is faster than almost all other generation methods.

> Theres a reason only France tried that - strongly related to the reason why Areva went spectacularly bankrupt.

Are you saying that Areva went over budget because they build us a load following nuclear plant?

> Theres no reality in which it makes any economic sense except #1 providing military support or #2 a pretend reality where all available storage options dont work.

Pray do tell what those available storage options are. Give us the real skinny then, none of that FUDD.
Seems powerful. Can we cloud seed, collect static electricity then harvest it for energy?

Everything about this is sad. Sad that I have to install an extension to get rid of stupid messages forced upon me just for visiting a website, sad that an untrusted company is trying to buy trust, sad that users have to waste time switching away.
If you are close to being evicted, you probably have a subsidized cell phone plan (at least in the US).
Hmm, those sound unappealing to me. With Tweet it's controlled by the guy who's RTing disinfo, with GitHub it's stolen by Copilot.

A better "web primitive" would be something portable/federated.
I don't even care that they might watch me. I care that they might use my computer's resources to do so; or might start making the extension do other stupid stuff, like injecting ads for Avast AV. "Not caring about cookies" doesn't cost anything, CPU-wise.
Ask HN: How do I code “ergonomically”?
I have recently discovered I might have mild ADHD, and ergonomics is extremely helpful in many aspects of my life. By ergonomics, I mean mental as well physical.

For example, in the kitchen I have organized containers for everything and everything is only 1 layer deep.

In my woodshop, I end each session by cleaning and I always sharpen tools before cutting, and I wear my work apron to get into the groove. I also have a very precise system and order of operations to implement a project.

I realized for code, I have nothing and it stresses me out. I am "good enough" at coding that I am a senior engineer at a company considered top tier and I always get good feedback...but my process is a mess and I am stressed every time I have to code. I don't come out of it feeling good. My education was in computer science and software engineering was just learned through experience. But now I am realizing that my software engineering is actually holding me back from expressing my views on computer science.

What are some of your go to tips on improving coding ergonomics?

Examples:

- always start with a test

- always write the function header with types (for languages that dont need type annotations) and comments

-set a timer and only code for 30 min at a time

-don't have unneeded files open

-always start by writing a design plan for implementation

-etc

then gamers will move the goalpost to cost of the machine, but thats okay
True. And otherwise a tool like this is very handy.
Surely, an LLM could handle this, if it were to get fed the entire book in chunks. "Change all mentions of the word 'flat' in its connotation as the British word for 'apartment', to say 'apartment'. Make no other changes to the manuscript." Then have it double-check its work afterwards. "Does every instance of the word 'apartment' in this text make sense? Does every instance of the word 'flat' in this text make sense in American English?"

and then run this prompt on each pair of words that you want it to do. When it's done, run a quick diffcheck on it & check its work to learn of any gotchas.

There is nothing wrong with these internals. Hard-coded rules are not necessarily "spaghetti code". I sincerely doubt there is any reliable way to come up with a general solution without relying on hard coded rules (at least without using AI).
The thing I don't get is that while you and others can clearly see the propaganda going on with US media, when it comes to Trump, people on the left all of a sudden go along with the propaganda and conspiracy theories such as Russiagate, or that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian conspiracy. People want to believe what they want to believe, I don't know if the propaganda is done to control people, or it's what the people actually want - to believe their government is a force for good, that we're the good guys, etc.

Someone here in HN recommended Consent-O-Matic instead of I don’t care about cookies.

Case in point -- I mortgaged my home with a local bank then without me knowing or being asked I became a Wells Fargo customer. At least you can uninstall the extensions :)
Agreed that it’s great from a transparency perspective. At the moment it is very complicated to track the value/cost of welfare. That makes it very easy for both sides to argue that it is too much or little - very few know what it is.

The problem, IMO, with most UBI studies I’ve seen is that they inject money from outside the system without funding the system via taxes. That makes their economic conclusions largely invalid, in my opinion. Their findings typically amount to “if we give some of our citizens free money that fell from the sky, they can afford more”.
Feels too niche. I doubt there are more than 50k potential users online for such product, and they are even more unlikely to be visiting ProductHunt.

I am considering to expand the same concept though to other frameworks, so maybe then.

Longshot Space
Did you read your linked paper?

Figure 6. does not show total Antartica ice mass change, it shows a local area change in relative sea level markers.

Today the relative sea level markers are much lower as the land itself is riding higher overall due to glacial rebound, the lifting of the land as a great weight is removed.

Your paper (as discussed in the conclusion) argues that during the past 6,000 years a great deal of ice has been lost, having retreated some 30km and thinned by some 800m in thickness.

Did you make a typo, or did you misunderstand your own linked source material?

Either way, thank you for the paper.
are you saying Bard is intentionally wrong for everyone because they’re afraid it will be a homework tool?
Because Lemmy is a federated service, you can run your own instance to cater to your specific political alignment.

However, other instances can choose to block content from your instance from showing up on theirs. Likewise, you can ask to 'link' your instance to others with similar ideas/rules and share posts between both.

As a result, the only thing stopping someone with particularly niche political views from spinning up their own instance is the potential lack of other interested users.
