> Am I correct in inferring that you're calling this translation absurd

As I explained, no. mamonster presented the premise of a feminist translation. You asked what the problem with that would be, and I responded the premise of a feminist adaptation seems fine but a feminist translation does not. I have not argued that this translation is a feminist translation; I am responding to the same premise which you responded to when you asked "Why not?"

If you can ask "Why not?" to a premise disconnected from the article, then I can address the same premise.

I'm glad someone who's a friend and advisor to many famous people took time out of their day to inform us of this (their prior post: https://eftegarie.com/famous/)
I’m thinking the same thing. I have the ChatGPT app and play around with it. It saves all queries and responses. It would be trivial to copy and paste and recreate to show proof.

In fact, I took a query from a few months ago which was a trick question and reran it and got effectively the same, correct answer.

What Is the Function of Confirmation Bias?
> Every CEO I’ve worked under—no matter how compassionate they were on a personal level—has had a policy of absolutely crushing voices of dissent.

I think there's a really interesting confluence of factors here.

(A) CEOs tend to be psychopaths and/or narcissists -- people who care about others, or who don't have a bottomless need to prove their own self-importance simply don't become CEOs (or don't succeed at it). So of course they crush dissent: it is antithetical to their whole psyche. That comes from their weak, fragile egos, not any real "leadership" traits. That being said ...

(B) Luckily, having a singular, narrow-minded focus is sometimes good for a company. And the times when it's really needed, this narcissistic ego-fragility of the CEO happens to be beneficial ("wartime CEO"), at least for those companies that survive.

(C) Survivorship bias eliminates the cases where the singular, narrow-minded focus driven by the CEO's narcissism actually completely destroys the company. You haven't worked under them because they destroyed the company before you applied. Darwinism does the rest: good companies survive long enough for you to work for them because the narrow-minded idea the narcissistic CEO focused on happened to be the right one at that time. The company looks strong, the CEO looks smart, and then they exit to another CEO job and completely fuck it up, because they've never actually been smart, never been a good leader, never had all the answers -- they just got lucky, and the lucky ones are the ones who are around to be seen and worked for.

(D) When it's "peacetime", not "wartime", the narcissism of CEOs is slowly eating away at the company, corrupting it from the inside out, but it doesn't matter so much, because the company is generally doing well. They can hire and fire whoever they want; their "singular focus" is just ignored by the people who are actually doing the work, and the company plods along, being productive despite the cancer slowly growing inside of it.

We forget the bad CEOs, misattribute random success to good leadership, and ignore their parasitism when the company is doing well. We praise them when they save a struggling company, even if the company is only struggling due to their past ineptitude. And so we perpetuate the cycle of CEOs generally looking like strong, visionary leaders, when they are nothing more than narcissistic parasites who occasionally force a struggling company to randomly do exactly what it needed to survive.

Of course letting your employees pull in different directions is a better strategy for the long-term health of the company. But long-term health of the company is not what CEOs, nor shareholders, nor board members, nor anyone pulling any strings actually cares about. Of course this entire treatment mostly applies to publicly traded companies, or companies with an "exit strategy".

> Valve lets their employees pull in different directions

Valve is not a publicly traded company, and therefore its CEO is actually invested in its long-term health.

We’ve been testing the upgraded models in the API (where you can control when the upgrade happens), and the newer ones perform significantly worse than the older ones on the same tasks. Tweaking the prompts helps some but not enough. We’re staying on the older models for now in production.

Hope OpenAI figures this out because quality has been their biggest moat up until now.

Just to name one example of this, in Bangkok the BTS Skytrain[0] is expanding pretty fast, and even though it's expensive to ride it's the only way around the awful traffic if you work downtown, ergo it's packed during commute hours. (There's an underground too, which is also expanding, but it doesn't go as far out.)

High-rise apartment complexes go up pretty fast too, when a new station gets built. Coming from the West, it's fascinating to watch: an area that would normally be somewhat insular, suddenly becomes a viable bedroom community for people who work downtown, and then there's a rush to get in on the relatively cheap real estate, and night markets open up for your after-work entertainment, and so on. All within a couple years.

OTOH there's massive oversupply in these high-rise complexes, so I'm not sure about the business dynamic for the developers, other than the fact that a lot of money is still desperately seeking a parking space outside the PRC

Well, I mostly disagree. While it is interesting and sometimes useful to go to the OpenAI ChatGPT web portal and use an LLM interactively, I think the real engine of innovation is using LLMs as part of larger applications on our own data.

Having the hype decrease is not a bad thing.
I’m also of the opinion my paid chatgpt responses have been lower quality.

However users going on multi page rants is so bad. I read 30% through and its like “dude stop”

It'd be insane if OpenAI wasn't changing GPT-4. That kind of flat footedness would cost them their entire first mover advantage.

They seemed to have missed a very important piece of critical feedback in the GitHub issue: absolute beginner users don't know enough to know if the AI is being helpful or not.

They'll click the thumbs up button and then realize hours to days later that they were taken down the wrong path. Or they'll just have a general feeling that everything is frustrating and CSS (or whatever) just don't make sense or work.

But they'll never be the ones saying that the AI mixed up grid cells and grid rows. That'll always be more experienced people, who Mozilla then dismisses as people looking to trip up the AI rather than people genuinely asking.
I always see this idea on HN that a library, website, framework should be marketing itself for mass appeal and adoption.

this is made for people building rendering engines on top of. if you are the software engineer with the knowledge necessary to do that, the screenshot is probably not going to influence you, because you understand what this is for. if you aren't, why should they be marketing to you with eye candy?
As a generalist myself, focusing and increasing your proficiency, in less areas really helps. It's excellent to be well rounded and be able to grab ideas that connect from a bunch of different places due to being so versatile, but sometimes it takes a mental toll.

As another poster said, product management seems like a good fit. Don't need to be an expert of one thing, as you should be managing the experts.

The main issue is that few know about retrieval augmented generation and it’s variants and even fewer know how to build effective versions of it.

Hooking up a real high quality and well configured knowledge graph or other information mechanism retrieval alongside template/constraint tooling to powerful, long context (with full attention, not the BS linear kinds) models is an absolute game changer and minimizes risks of hallucination.

But few are doing this, and thus the public believes that LLMs are not trustworthy.

Once ChatGPT 4 is freely available I'll start playing with it more regularly like I had been with 3/3.5. But once you spend enough time with 3/3.5 and realize how unreliable it can be, it takes a lot of the fun away. I'd rather waste my hours the old fashioned way, by browsing Wikipedia.

> You and me reading books about fuzzy logic in the 80s didn't constitute the initial round of AI.

Right, that was at least the second round, as it occurred after the first “AI Winter”.

The first round was a lot earlier than that.
The blessing and curse of digital delivery of software is that retooling is comparatively easy to physical products and distribution cost is pretty negligible.

Getting it right up front matters a lot less for most software than it does something like a product where you invested a bunch of money in tool and die, stood up an assembly line, have warehouses full of product to deal with of you release a new version that obsoletes them, and so on.

If software is incomplete or wrong or bad, the real costs are mostly just labor to fix it. If physical products are bad, the very act of doing the fix has costs beyond the labor of the design work.

(I’m certainly not endorsing sloppy planning in software, fwiw, this is just how the incentives play out much of the time)
I'd strongly recommend anyone interested in this topic to find sources outside of the US. The foundation of these studies are largely dubious, consistent with the kind of replication crisis you see in the medical field. Throw activism into the mix and these sources are now biased towards certain outcomes.

For those who lean left, I strongly recommend reading up on Hannah Barnes' book, "Time to Think". The UK and the EU have deemed "gender-affirming care" experimental with US holding out. This should definitely give some pause.
I will gladly become a daily user when I stop running into nanny-state blocking my queries.

It turns out getting consistently quality results from ChatGPT requires some knowledge of prompt engineering approaches. Some people won't be willing to write a whole paragraph of information in their initial prompt, or go through further iterations, or check for errors using alternative sources, and so they end up disappointed with their results.

At least ChatGPT isn't constantly trying feed you advertising content like Google does, and you don't have to wade through pages of SEO garbage, so it's still much better (although if OpenAI tries to monetize ChatGPT by inserting ads, that'll be the end of it I think).

There's no such thing as privacy-preserving telemetry. How do you retrieve the telemetry from the device? Via networking, right? BAM, that's an IP address leak which is PII. We don't need to go any further than that.
There's something off about this. I don't want to be pedantic, but one of the images states "32% consume controlled substances to perform better and cope with long work hours and high stress", and then goes on to say 45% use painkillers, 34% use stimulants, 36% use antidepressants, and 35% use sleeping pills.

But antidepressants is defined as benzodiazepines, which aren't antidepressants, they're anxiolytics. Normally when someone talks about "antidepressants", they're referring to SSRIs, SNRIs, NDRIs, and some similar meds. They have a category for SSRIs, but their example medications include non-SSRIs. Regardless, all of the medications they list in the categories other than SSRIs ARE controlled substances. So, it should be at least 45% consume controlled substances.

Anyway, the odd math and misclassification of medications makes me question the results of this study. I don't doubt that tech execs are stressed, drink a lot, use illicit drugs, and prescription drugs... but I'm not sure I'd believe the specific percents given here.
> The UK and the EU have moved away from gender-affirming care and designated it an experimental treatment.

The UK and EU are hardly a paradise for trans people. Until recently they even REQUIRED trans people to be sterilized, I suppose under the dual assumptions that 1.) they weren't fit to have children and 2.) if there's a genetic component to being transgender it's best to weed it out.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/12/world/europe/european-cou... (this was only stricken down in 2013)

These days, you'll notice a lot of europeans calling to clamp down on transgender people because they'd prefer for them to be gay. Conversion therapy is conversion therapy, however, and whether you do it US style where you try to make someone a good straight Christian or European style where you try to make them a feminine male or butch female, it's still wrong.

As for sterilization, people bring this up without pointing out that we can bank sperm and eggs. A treatment plan for trans youth can wait until they reach a tanner stage (these are the stages of puberty) where they can bank before starting puberty blockers. That is more reasonable than an outright ban.

As for Lupron's side effects, parents are informed about possible side effects. Just like with precocious puberty. It remains telling that families are allowed to access these treatments for some reasons but not others. The double standard betrays prejudice and political meddling in the affairs of parents and doctors.
I respect your individual experience but this hasn't been the mainstream situation for many years now.

Back in 2012 I was the Head of IT for an A series start-up with about 80 people and we ran almost all machines on Linux (mostly Ubuntu) and it worked like a charm. We scaled to about 400 people before switching to Chromebooks in 2015 for the vast majority of users. Our IT operations team never had more than 4 FTE at any point in time, which compares very favorably with any other company. This was possible because Linux environments are extremely easy to maintain for a trained IT staff and, obviously, because we mostly avoided the MS Office crapware (which was less crappy back then than it is today). Google Suite served us fine and the rest was custom web-based software.

Today I'm at a different company, no longer in the trenches, and use MS Windows machines for my work and there is not a single week going by without need to call tech support. Adding the counter-productive helpfulness of MS Office applications I sometimes think MS is paid by our competitors to destroy our productivity. That's a "stability vulnerability".

There's no need to speculate on the EV market. Especially in most western countries. EVs are here and people want them.

The irony of the entire situation is that you can start a new Twitter with 10 people, but you can't maintain the existing Twitter with 10 people. I don't know what his mental model of management is, but it seems severely lacking, as in maybe he has people at Tesla and SpaceX that "round him out" and fill-in gaps in his thinking. At Twitter, every move he makes is contrary to his own interests.
ChatGPT is too vanilla and is hiding a lot of "dark knowledge" - and I am not talking about obvious dangerous stuff, that should rightly so be censored, but rather being able to get insight how the rich operate, how they avoid paying taxes, how they build the financial structures, how they hide the money, what mechanisms they use to corrupt politicians or influence elections and how they get away with it and so on and so forth.
All this knowledge is tightly locked, but the rich will surely have unrestricted access.

Okay, we will just ignore the 50-70% of customers who do not want an EV now - We don't want their money. Batteries are getting better every day but a lot of people:

3. Can't afford a $60K SUV for their family.
4. Want lifestyle vehicles like jeeps, trucks, vans etc. that require much larger and more expensive batteries.

Right, and landlords are not the only barrier either.

To accommodate the larger loads from charging EVs landlords will need larger grid hookups. They’re expensive and utilities don’t just give those out, they build them to sell you more electricity. If none of your tenants own EVs (yet), the utility will still want compensation for their investment regardless. Who provides that is not answered nationally, but by state utility commissions.

There’s lots of parties involved to answer the EV infrastructure question, electrical coops, investor owned utilities, property management companies, utility boards, local, state, and national governments. They all have vastly different incentives and electric car users need them all to walk in lock step to provide adequate EV infrastructure. I don’t see that happening without a serious public mandate, and visionary charismatic leadership.

No, this is precisely correct. To simplify further:

1. Start H4 and H7

2. Flip H4 when it runs out (4-minute mark)

3. Flip H7 when it runs out (7-minute mark, 1 minute left on H4)

4. Flip H7 back when H4 runs out again (8-minute mark, 1 minute elapsed on H7)

5. When H7 runs out again (after 1 minute), exactly 9 minutes have passed
