> I do drugs what i feels is responsable (5 times a year)

One problem is that you can't get honest information about what is responsable, besides the "all drugs are evil" propaganda.
Like you can defenitley smoke weed more often and call it responsable, but for MDMA 5 times is already quite at the edge imo. And people don't realize that easily.
This is lame. The poster made a good point. If it’s not your platform, then you don’t own it.

so if I started a new sub Reddit that was part of a particular company initiative and connected people with it, I would not own that sub Reddit because it is not my platform.

this is a problem.

Plus, many people can feel a certain frisson of delight or at least schadenfreude about 5 rich guys dying in a comically "move fast and break stuff" built submarine and the fact that it happened doesn't really reflect any kind of deep, hard to solve, social problem.

Thinking about refugees, on the other hand, is depressing and there is also almost nothing anyone can do about it. As macabre as it is, the "startup sub kills rich guys" story is just more fun.

As many people here, I program. My performance directly reduces the cost of company operations.

Previously I was responsible for $500k/yr in savings, but with ChatGPT aiding my coding, I can easily see that number 1.5x-ing. Not to mention, we could use local models for multi-millions in savings(we don't trust putting our data online).

I think as people learn when to use LLMs, it will cause a multi-trillion dollar explosion in cost reductions.
Don't both of those things indirectly tell us a lot about our inherent biases? Seems to be _exactly_ the kind of insight that psychedelics offer

I went to a small rural school on the east coast and circa 2005 or so I recall getting a mass email from an acquaintance explaining their new pronouns of ze/zir. That was the first I had ever heard about someone preferring different pronouns, and it was probably close to a decade before I heard those particular ones in any other context. All that is to say that it makes sense if it had made its way out to a rural college in 2005 it was probably being used a bit more widely in the SF a few years prior.
Maybe imagination is poorly understood. I'm confident in my imagination when it comes to technology, but I fail the aphantasia test, because it tests free form artistry and I admittedly lack that one. Maybe it's division between STEM brain and arts brain.

"Noticeable change" is open for discussion.

Beginning of it: within six months to two years, ever increasing.

A limitation reached on full re-adjustment (as much emotional control as I could get back): six harrowing years without medical assistance. Not harrowing because I craved alcohol, but due to unprecedented anxiety that came around year two or three.

Drinking term: 8 binge years (late high school through the end of college). 10 casual every-other weekend years after that.

Nothing really begins to change until stone sober. It's impossible to achieve it, in my experience, if deferring to other vices with the exception of caffeine. No tobacco, marijuana, etc. They will lead to felt cognitive imbalances that will unavoidably be translated into cravings.

A good gauge is being able to go six months, or more, without drinking and not care / not miss it and feel the urge.

Once you can do that, you're on your way.

One has to gauge their true addiction level to understand if they can handle very occasional alcohol after that. If there's any craving whatsoever, I'd rate a person too addicted to partake in any and maintain control over the frequency.

If there is zero craving (again, use the six months or longer gauge), then it may be possible for, say, quarterly (or less) yet controlled outings with a non-sober friend. In other words, a couple of drinks.

Though, this doesn't apply to fall-down alcoholics. Even if they supposedly never feel the urge, they need to treat their sobriety like a precious jewel never to be messed with.

It depends on what one's goal is. If it is addiction management, then don't even think about alcohol and stay on the program for life. If it is to regain emotional function, then it may be a little different. But the journey is still very long.
I would agree. Although one would hope they would learn from it and that "rebuild" includes improvements being applied.

Of course rebuild is pretty ambiguous, so it could mean repair, which reminds of a famously incorrectly repaired aircraft[0].

I suspect that Mozilla got pushed by Google to remove the built-in RSS support surrounding Google+ release.

It is the same type of a bet when deciding to start a tire company or a car mechanic shop shortly after the first cars ever were introduced on the roads. You don't bet on the exisitng base, you bet on that base expanding extremely wildly, and you want to secure your position early.

Also, I fully expect to be positively surprised by the sales of VisionPro. Keep in mind, we live in a world where one of the fairly popular flagship android phones (Galaxy Fold) sells retail for close to $2k. And it is still fundamentally a smartphone, it just folds and has a couple nice features due to it that others don't. But none of it is practically groundbreaking. I would be honestly even more surprised, if Apple wouldn't manage to bring a sub-$2k version of their AR device in the following few years.
What you have in your comment is an email address, where anti-phishing training has hopefully helped users to identify non-authentic or at least suspicious domains. We (should) know to look at the part after the "@" in an email.

This trick is a URL, not an email address. It looks like a valid URL, because we are accustomed to checking the hostname for authenticity. But the URL in the post is crafted to look like the hostname is X, when in reality it is Y. With URLs, we usually look for the part between the https://, and the first forward / after that. This malicious URL uses unicode characters that look like forward slashes, but aren't, so it appears to be on a different hostname than it is. I don't think anyone is trained to look for the "@" in a URL, and certainly to non-technical folks it's not all that different than a "#" or a "!", i.e., inconspicuous.

World Wars happened and everyone died. US schools had all the money and took off, and the handful of other institutions in the Old World did alright.

Lots of new science to uncover, a lot of which would be basic 100-200 level college courses these days. lotta new things to pioneer. my grandpa did a lot of work with plastics, for example, that are now pretty basic; new stuff then, but now no one thinks about their 0.9 cent plastic lid on their coffee.

lots of mobility but the world wasn't hyper connected, so you could do a trip to somewhere more obscure like Indonesia or Zimbabwe and do research. Now you can just email them the questionnaire.

Years of high schools pushing college now means there are legions of grads, plenty of whom will chase academia. smaller world + growing demand = ruthless academic posturing.

> the majority of CoC documents have been templated and written by one particular in-group of people who share extremist beliefs, and so it has been instrumentalized to drive their communities further into extremism and exclusionary tactics which eject people who believe differently or have dissenting political views.'

Lordy lordy lordy, what a mess. Let's zoom out a bit and add some context to what you've said here. The original open source CoC drama happened because one trans person got tired of being targeted with anti-trans harassment.

One of the primary arguments made against CoCs since then have matched yours in both spirit and even exact wording, as an attempt to frame harassment as "free speech" and shield harassers from the consequences of their own actions.

Your post copies, thought for thought and sometimes word for word, arguments from that time that were created by people that desire to silence and eliminate trans voices.

The real giveaway that demonstrates this is the "eject people who [...] have dissenting political views" thing. This specific talking point was invented to frame the mere existence of trans people as a thing of politics that is open to debate somehow. The emphasis of "one particular in-group" attempts to elevate trans peoples' attempts to stop being harassed for existing as some grand crusade by a strong united front of some kind.

So, for anyone that reads this thread before it's nuked from orbit, the post I'm replying to is the core counterargument from the anti-CoC crowd: they want to be allowed to be bigots and experience no pushback, nor suffer any consequences.

What alternative choices? France suffered multiple highly deadly attacks on it's soil, including two with 100+ graphic and violent dead. What alternative choices are there to prevent them outside of mass surveillance, infiltrating potentially radicalising religious institutions and shutting them down, arresting members of outwardly radical groups stockpiling weapons and materials for explosives (all things the French government is doing).

>There clearly is a relationship between higher intelligence and a faster brain, to some degree. However faster thinking enables more sophisticated searching of complex problem spaces.

I don't think that's clear at all. The confusion is around different definitions of speed and different definitions of the task.

You have the speed to process data points or variables, and the speed to come to a result. You also have the number of variables used to calculate a result and the number of variables needed to come to a result.

It is reasonable to believe that some brains can process the same data faster than others. It is also reasonable to believe that some brains consider more variables than others.

However, more variables is not always better. You can process faster, and include more variables, but still perform worse overall if you are using too many unecessary variables.

In terms of computing, an example would be multiplying 2x2.
A slower computer can give you a result faster if it is representing 2 as a 2-bit number than a faster computer representing it as a 64-bit number

> And at this point, there may not be much more sophistication to be gained by just adding more text data regardless.

There is consensus that almost all contemporary LLMs are undertrained. See, for example, the Gopher, Chinchilla, and LLaMA papers.

Larger models are easier to train, and there are diminishing returns when you keep training. Thus, to claim SotA performance, researchers tried to optimize for the best performance, given a certain training budget.

The best performance within a certain training budget is achieved by training HUGE models on VAST datasets, for a relatively short amount of time. Almost all models could profit from simply training for longer, but the cost/benefit isn‘t there, if your goal is to achieve the best performance.

This is also why distillation and quantization work so well. Models with more and larger weights are easier to train, but ultimately don‘t utilize all that capacity.

Recently, researchers have begun focussing on inference – rather than training – budgets, in order to make using these models actually viable and profitable in practice.

I.e., what is the best performance we can achieve within a certain computational limit at inference time?

This is mostly done by simply training with more data, for longer.

The point is that Coca Cola doesn't need to inform anyone of their products; all that advertising they're running is trying to hack your brain at subconscious level, by teaching you associations that will make you "spontaneously" remember about their products when you're e.g. thinking about Christmas, or feel thirsty, or see a photo of a polar bear, etc.

In ML terms, they are fine-tuning you to increase the chances of your mind generating a sequence "Coca Cola" in increasing number of contexts that otherwise had you not interested in buying.

Clearly not otherwise that wouldn't be a feature. The issue is that there is no official stance. Any actual stance would be an admission of madness in the approach - "No taking your sub private to protest Reddit platform changes" wouldn't go down well even though that's what it is. They're trying again and again to keep things quiet, even though they keep running into the Streisand effect, something Reddit should be acutely familiar with already. There is also that saying that trying the same thing again and again and expecting a different result is insanity.

This all strikes me as Reddit and in particular their senior leadership being deeply scared. They know they probably missed the mark for IPO, they could have done it during phases of massive growth a number of years ago, or perhaps in the recently concluded tech IPO boom, but they didn't. They're now shit-scared that they are falling out of favour and losing the support of thought-leaders in the community. I'm sure user/revenue numbers are looking better than ever, but I'm also sure that the leading metrics are showing the valuable users abandoning ship and retention metrics starting to turn.

It's unfortunately unlikely to get better if they keep taking this reactionary approach, but doing anything else is a much harder move that requires strong leadership, and they've never been known for having strong leadership, except perhaps under Ellen.
As stated elsewhere in the comments, decentralization is a bug, not a feature, to most people. It adds a layer of complexity that non-technical people either can't or just don't want to deal with.

Show HN: Jackrabbit Ops – AI that responds to leads (RFQs) and book meetings
Hi HN!

My name is Ahmed, I am a developer based in Canada. Over the past years, building custom software, I noticed a real flaw in how RFQs are handled by companies. By the time companies respond to an incoming lead it would have already went cold.

Adding an automated email response, was never adequate in actually qualifying a lead and there were never enough trained team members to respond fast enough.

That is why we decided to build Jackrabbit Ops - the AI that will respond to leads and book meetings , just like your best sales person.

> 100% of RFQs get personalized replies within an hour.

> Qualifies leads and identifies the customers with intent to buy.

> Books Meetings for you.
