I just need to be able to create a split in Xc,Xp so that Xp is random. I think that's really quite easy.

If you could put ChatGPT in a loop, take some Xc prompts and permute with some non-semantic phrases ("Alice believes that... Xc ... what did Alice believe?") etc --- until you find those cases.

I imagine we will discover quite a large number of such non-semantic phrases which have this effect. Because the tokens in those phrases will, joint with Xc, be arbitrarily distributed in some historical data (distributed to our preference when finding them).

This seems just kinda basically obvious, right? Entailments are discretely constrained by semantics, and historical datasets can contain arbitrary mixtures of random distributions of syntax.

NNs only model those distributions -- and not the entailments -- which, at the very least, are extremely discrete.

I have to sign into multiple systems in the morning and sometimes it takes four attempts to enter creds for one login because I keep getting interrupted. It's infuriating.
No; those were there already. I assumed they'd added the "does not double down" behaviour. Bing Chat (also an OpenAI model, but presumably with a different set of fine-tuning / filters to ChatGPT – possibly the bare OpenAI API) doubles down in situations like this: https://nitter.dark.fail/_akhaliq/status/1672267392280571905

GPT models can't tell the difference between truth and fiction. All you can choose by fine-tuning is their threshold for "admitting" mistakes.
Huh, I had an idea recently to make an API-only game like that. Would let people build their own tools/GUIs and go as crazy as they'd like with building their own AI to control their empire. Just feels extremely niche, even if it scratches my own gameplay itch.

Context: I grew up and currently live in NJ.

Rail runs into Manhattan via regular trail rail (e.g., Amtrak, NJ Transit), as well as via light rail (i.e., PATH). The buses pick up in different places than rail. Some people do bus to rail but that adds still more time to the trip. Also, the bus terminal isn't exclusively for commuter buses.

On top of that, there's the cost of more / new holes in the ground. Certainly possible a la what they did in London, but that wasn't cheap either.

Finally, relating to cost, per something I heard on NPR a couple of days ago, the NYC subway system is burdened with quite a bit of debt. The capital and support for a new subway station and line probably isn't there given the other financial problems of that org.

All in all, a new bus terminal is more realistic.
This, unironically (if you meant it as such).

Yes, when they were being commercially manufactured for many users.

Now that 707s are no longer in service outside the military, they're not running production lines for parts except when needed; that $200k includes all the paperwork to win the contract, the lawyers who review it, un-mothballing whatever tooling they use, etc.; the fixed costs far outweigh the costs to make each individual trash can. For similar reasons, I can buy a part for my Corolla much cheaper than I can for a Model T.

Not quite. A request from the client might be impossible to satisfy given _the request_. May be not this particular request, but some previous requirement that this system has to uphold.

I have a lot of times found myself in the situation where I explained to stakeholders that they essentially have bugs in their requirements, as they were logically inconsistent and self contradictory. That's what the article is about — it almost never happens in other professions.
Generalizing a bit and admitting that this would vary across cultures: most vegans (who turned vegan for ethical reasons and have been vegan for quite sometime) would promote this for people who want to transition as well as to occasionally have this with non-vegans to show them what’s available. Left to themselves, they’d likely abstain from it for the most part since there are still some ethical questions about it (if FBS — fetal bovine serum — is used) and since there are a wide variety of foods already available to them anyway. It could be a once-in-a-while indulgence though.

> Also, this was paid out of bank-funded insurance, not any direct taxpayer funds.

It was paid out of unrelated bank-funded insurance. If I insure my cat, and I get a payout when my dog dies, it's not from "bank-funded insurance." Not only was my dog never insured, so I never funded its insurance, but the cat insurance also wasn't somehow transformed by proximity or similarity into dog insurance, although they both lived in the same house and are both pets.

The reason this is clearly true is because if hypothetically a week from now a few banks failed that held enough accounts under the federal insurance limit to deplete the remainder of the insurance fund, the failure of the insurance would no doubt also be backstopped. It's like stealing from the cancer fund to pay for plastic surgery, because you know that if the cancer fund runs out, people are going to be willing to shore it up.
there's "forced emphasis" because controlled burns which had been occurring for 1000s of years were outlawed by european settlers, leading to the current catastrophic wildfires that we experience every year in california. historical context isn't some kind of "woke" gotcha - it's literally the history of controlled burns and why banning them has caused our current problems.

He was one interesting dude. He could speak Italian which was a really exceptional thing to do. England is on the edge of Europe, quite provincial, not in great power. To go to Italy was to put yourself right in the centre of European culture. Especially Florence, where Cromwell ended up, was the epicentre of civilisation and culture.

So he learned Italian and came back to England in his twenties; extremely well educated, not just speaking Italian but a bit of German a bit of Spanish, fluent French and also reading Latin, which was crucial at that period. But Italian ended up being his passport into the eventual public life.

I suppose that's it's impossible to do a hostile takeover of a private company. All it takes is to stay financially healthy and reject offers to sell!

Much easier said than done. Sometimes the owners just get tired or bored, and want out. They sell the company to the highest bidder, within reason; often there's no crowd clamoring to buy a small, non-growing company.

In my experience of implementing some clever financial plots in D3 I find that most examples on websites such as these are very quickly exhausted - unless you're dealing with a chart that either an undergraduate statistician or a programmer of any level might use you're on your own - I don't mind that, except that I notice that libraries often focus on a few examples rather than really nailing (say) getting zooming right.
> They (and I am generalizing) have a deep passion for returning nature to its natural state.

"Natural state" is a term with a debatable definition. Is it:

* how it was when the Native Americans lived on it and did whatever they did

* how it was when there are no humans around at all

And these aren't even necessarily the only definitions, or a binary choice (it could be a spectrum/tunable).

I hardly think lobbying is unique to capitalism. The USSR was famous for political games to win favor with those who allocated things, just like the US military contractor system. Politics are a human issue, not a capitalism one.

Saying US military spending reflects poorly on capitalism is just about the dumbest possible anti-capitalist argument. There is so much more low-hanging fruit. Start with non-centrally-managed monopolies and work your way around various nasty corporate practices from there.

I don't have such a habit. My parents were never into similar stuff, neither our extended family nor was it common generally where I grew up. I could start doing it as adult living away from them but decided not to, after seeing how affection for sweet junkfood messes up with women en masse and how utterly weak they are against these cravings. And there are some guys in same boat too.

Same for sodas btw, we generally didn't have them, and later I've never found sparkling-anything appealing, remove the bubbles and drinks become oversweetened sewage. Same for champange/prosecco compared to good white wine for 1/2 the price. Best beer lagers from the bottle I've tasted are those Bavarian treasures that have comparably little co2, which messes up tastes badly. If I anywhere get over-co2 beer I know they don't care about quality, just cheap filler.

My best friend's parents bought a machine that was putting co2 into tap water, never grokked why the heck do they go through all the effort to make something so bad in taste compared to original.

Do your kids a favor, don't make sweet stuff some great thing deserved after hardship. You may extend their lifespan by a decade or two and make them overall stronger humans.

Start out to broad and wind up wasting resources that could be put to better use.

Start out to narrow focus without knowing where need/$$ to keep going is and wind up wasting resources. Idealy, the narrower focus permits getting to the 'wasting resources' point faster.

Hiding the details via abstraction when details are still in development/need to be viewable & readily available defeats the purpose of abstraction making things simpiler/easier.

Along those lines, I have numerous clients who just want plain Ruby on Rails -- no react front end. They are all business to business, or at least professional users on the end. They just want their data loaded and to work with it.

Ruby on Rails may not be the poster child for speediness as things get big or complex, but if you aren't fighting the ORM, it's consistently quick from click to data.

Also, RoR is definitely not dead.

There are A LOT of VERY bad lawyers out there.

I have a friend who used to be a federal judge for immigration, and he said that immigration lawyers are especially the worst, because families need their services desperately, and these lawyers will take their money and spend NO time on their cases. They show up to court and are figuring stuff out real time.

He tore one lawyer a new asshole for doing exactly this for his client and ordered them to come back better prepared.

So the idea that some of them will use ChatGPT to do their work doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm with you on that. I shudder when I think how much law (for example) is based on "a reasonable person"... That definition (as vague as it has always been) is moving more and more in the wrong direction daily.

This is why I mentioned mandatory platform provided dash and interior recording. It's very clear that in many of these scenarios (linked Twitter feed, my story) there isn't anything resembling an actual review. However the driver's issue was reported all they could have possibly considered to make their decision is whatever they reported. For all I know they said she hit them, for example.

This of course goes the other direction. I was once in a Lyft where the driver had an associate (of some sort) clearly experiencing an overdose in the front passenger seat. She was slumped over, making gasping sounds. I calmly ended my ride early and my first call was to 911 to describe the car and the driver. Going in the app to report the driver was a remote second consideration.

Yelling isn't criminal, what a "reasonable person" would characterize as violence is. As I noted it wasn't even really directed to the driver and at no point did I consider it threatening to either of us. If violence had actually taken place I would have expected the police to show up (as they did in my OD story). If she had hit them (or gotten anywhere close to threatening) I would be the first person to back the driver's story to the police.

Like I said I woke up the next morning to an e-mail from Uber that was essentially "We got this report, the decision is final". Had I even had the opportunity to attempt to provide my version of events I'd feel a lot differently about this.

Trigger-happy is putting it mildly.

While you are definitely right to a degree, let’s also not forget that depending on how far we go back, everything was English, ascii-only with no accessibility and security.

By requiring more than that, we had to increase the essential complexity. I believe this tradeoff in itself is well worth it (and hopefully we can all agree on that going back to us-ascii-only locale is not a forward direction).

The problem I see is that the layers you also mention, each expose leaky abstractions (note that abstractions are not the problem, no person on Earth could implement anything remotely useful without abstractions — that’s our only tool to fight against complexity, of which a significant amount is essential, that is not reducible). Let’s also add a “definition” I read in a HN comment on what constitutes an ‘expert’: “knowing at least 2 layers beneath the one one is working with” (not sure if it was 1 or 2).

Given that not many people are experts and a tendency of cheaping out on devs, people indeed are only scratching that top layer (often not even understanding that single one!), but the problem might also be in how we organize these layers? When an abstraction works well it can really be a breeze and a huge (or only significant, see Brooks) productivity boost to just add a library and be done with it — so maybe the primitives we use for these layers are inadequate?

I’m trying to unpack the energy use of lab grown meat, it seems that it comes from the following sources

1. filtering the growth medium for toxins (subject of this paper)

2. Powering the bio reactors (heating them and stirring)

3. Transportation of the materials

#3 Is going to be present regardless of whether you’re doing lab growth or traditional animal ag. From what I can tell, #1 will produce 25 times the emissions of traditional animal ag. What I don’t know is does #1 strictly require hydrocarbons as a material input, or does it require energy that could be provided by renewables.

In the later case, you might be able to make lab grown meat more sustainable than traditional animal ag, but to make it economically viable vs traditional animal ag, you would need a sufficiently high price on carbon/methane.
A stateful firewall would allow your RPI to access the camera vlan/subnet while still blocking any outgoing connections from the cameras.
