The paper isn't saying that there isn't a constellation of "symptoms" that the term "BPD" describes, only that there isn't a common "BPD" factor underlying those attributes that can't be better attributed to some combination of better-established, more scientifically-validated disorders. It's not denying your lived experience, it's only challenging the root cause of that experience.

With that in mind, what's "absurd" about the paper? Can you be specific? Did you follow the cites, and find them absurd as well?
That’s what ozempic is for!
> the later models (even 1.5 over 1.4) are heavily censored. And at least in the case of 1.5 it appears to cause obviously inferior output even for content which is in no way explicit.

1.5 is better than 1.4, but 2.0/2.1 are indeed heavily lobotomized.

The jury is still out on SDXL, but I think its much better. But the second thing I alluded to, the backend, is going to be more of an issue.

It's not just the stovetop it's the entire infrastructure dedicated to distribution and production of natural gas.

Transportation needs to be addressed, sure. The reality is that shifting residential utilities to electric largely shifts the burden to residents. Cleaning up transportation gets a similar amount of pushback but burdens the government with the cost of improvement.

To be fair, parts of California (given that California is leading the anti-gas charge) are actively working on cleaning up transit. But it's slow going.

If you're willing to invoke 'alien technology' as an explanation then no-one could really argue differently because we don't know what aliens are capable of. A few things that come to mind:

a) That seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to when you could surely directly harvest the energy of a star much more easily, and use that to drive whatever machinery you wanted to build.

b) How would one ignite an atmosphere and once having done so, keep it burning? Would it not all burn up in a short time? Say a few weeks at most?

c) You can't fool a spectrum - the light coming from such an object would indicate its chemical composition; if it looks like primarily H and He then that's what it is. Planetary atmospheres tend to be low in those elements because they get blown away over time.

d) As another commenter points out, the magnetic field of a planet is tiny in comparison to that required for the effect the paper is postulating - Earth's magnetic field strength for example is less than 1 gauss, whereas the scientists here are suggesting fields of a few thousands to a million gauss. Still not that high for a stellar object, but very high for a planet.

Of course I'd love for us to find evidence of aliens - but I don't think this is it.
It's a bit of both. "Tech" is any company that can rely on technology rather than manpower and raw materials to scale up. Everyone wants to position themselves as such, but the truth always shows up on the balance sheet.

He is like that in interviews, but it's worth noting that a lot of care is put into making great digital versions of his movies too. I'm not familiar with how involved he is in that process, but I would hazard a guess he's pretty involved.

The Oppenheimer site mentions this:

The Digital Cinema presentation of OPPENHEIMER has been created from 8k scans of the photochemically color-graded film elements, scaled to 4K, fine-tuned in the digital realm to maximize the color and contrast attributes of digital projectors, and dust-busted to achieve the cleanest and most stable image presentation possible. The film was finished in 4k for the highest digital resolution currently available.

To take a page from your earlier comment, literally no one here is denying the existence of clickwrap agreements. Clickwrap agreements are completely irrelevant to the current conversation.

> Your off-topic rant about Shakespeare is irrelevant.

You can not enforce a EULA on someone interacting with a piece of work you do not own IP rights to if they did not agree to that EULA in some way.

I'm sorry, but agreement is part of contract law.

If you think you can force a EULA on a piece of content you don't own that will bind people who got the content from a 3rd-party and who never agreed to your EULA under any legal definition of agreement, then by all means, slap a EULA on Shakespeare. It makes just as much sense as what you're suggesting.
It's likely that whatever emulators already existed didn't support whatever custom hardware is in place to interface the Palm Pilot with the IMAX projection hardware.
I continue to wonder how much studios are ACTUALLY hurt by this strike. The studios have reserves of money, they still get money from streaming existing content. And short term they can still release content that are in post-prod enough to release.

On the other hand, the public supports of the strike amounts to ... wanting new TV shows and movies. It's annoying for many I'm sure, but its not exactly something that keeps you alive.

The tech industry as a whole is really diverse -- what you see in the news or promoted on Twitter, Facebook, etc is just a small part of it. Some parts of the industry are male-dominated, but there are lots of sectors and companies that aren't -- particularly if you step outside of Big Tech.

Ask HN: Has Chatgpt4 CodeInterpreter Worsened?
I finally got access. I remember seeing top commenters on HN talking about how useful it was. Ive just spent 30 minutes trying to get it to refactor some simple JS code and its completed deleted whole functions which were references, each time.

Is it just poor with JS refactors because it cant test them? Perhaps it just works on Python?

I am not bashing anything here I am just hoping to hear more about your experience with it, I am very happy with chatgpt in general.

Thank you
Indeed. It's quite expensive to be poor. A cruel joke.

I have induction. The air quality is the same. It's not the source of energy so much as it is the cooking of the product itself. My air quality goes to red with induction or gas. Induction doesn't yield cleaner air. Its the smoke from the meat or vegetables changing with the oil and fats.
I disagree. The IPCC may contain a lot of scientific evidence but the way it is presented is highly political. Every word in it had to be negotiated and that is not the same as “carefully chosen”. If you want to dive into climate change I’d suggest to take a look at “The Warming Papers” [1], an edited compilation by David Archer and Raymond Pierrehumbert.

I think that IMAX has really struggled with branding confusion as the majority of "IMAX" branded screens are slightly larger regular screens and not the true experience that IMAX can be. There's only a few dozen IMAX 15-perf 70mm film theatres in 1.43 aspect ratio worldwide, some more digital 4K IMAX multi-laser in 1.43 which are also quite good, and then the vast majority of other "IMAX" screens are digital IMAX Xenon which is usually just a slightly bigger screen than a traditional theatre (but still not the 1.43 ratio the filmmaker intended).

I think IMAX Xenon as well as general confusion about which systems are in use at which theatres and which movies are filmed in which format has led to a ton of frustration with the brand, even though when everything is just right they can produce some really incredible experiences.

Then even for Oppenheimer there is a lot of technical troubles going on for the film theatres... The top of /r/imax has stories of people who flew cross country to see it in the best format they could and then had the projector bonk out 20 minutes in.

I think that, post-COVID, a lot of people have realized that a good home video theatre is very affordable, lots of movies are going to streaming either direct or very quickly, and that modern 4K HDR OLED TVs can be absolutely gorgeous. I don't have a lot of motivation to go to a standard theatre screening these days, but IMAX is an experience you can't get at home though so I hope it stays around.
When the alternative is people starving, this response seems restrained.

I don't think you're right about this. In fact, I think the killer AR/VR apps will be utility apps.

My friends and I watch a movie in VR every week and it's the highlight of my week. It's all I use my Quest 2 for. Just sitting in a fake theater, not moving, talking over movies in spatial audio.

There is a problem with VR games. They eventually make you feel sick if you move around. They can make you sweat. Most people sit on their couch to watch T.V. to relax because they don't want to move around or sweat. VR/AR gaming is gimmicky as hell.

AR is going to kick start a revolution as soon as people discover they no longer need to go to a movie theater, deal with Ticket Master's fees, or buy a TV again. As soon as they realize they never need to buy another monitor -- or multiple monitors.

Some healthy food is expensive. But not all cheap food is unhealthy.

Sure, salad kits and some berries and nuts and ribeyes are expensive.

Beans, potatoes, bread, rice, oatmeal, pasta, certain produce like apples and green beans canned and frozen vegetables are all quite cheap. Even certain cuts of chicken and pork.

It's the convenience factor.

Society has forgotten how to cook, people want to microwave chicken nuggets and pizzas, and wash it down with sugary drinks, and add in the crazy addictive snacks and sweets we have access to.
> That, and the 400kW peak charging rate

400 kW chargers are already being deployed in Europe. Examples:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4ZWN_-a2j4

- https://fastnedcharging.com/hq/fastned-and-evbox-join-forces...

- https://fastnedcharging.com/hq/fastned-expands-into-denmark-...

Ionity's been installing 350 kW chargers for a long time and will start installing 400 kW chargers soon (like the Alpitronic HYC400).

Some 720 kW capable chargers are beginning to be installed such as the Willbert Amber II:

- https://www.willbert.tech/product/amber-ii-v2

- https://www.willbert.tech/blog/introducing-willbert-s-hub-te...

The individual Amber II chargers are 360 kW but they can be paired to share power dynamically via a DC bus. In that configuration it can deliver a maximum of 720 kW to a single plug.

Thinking out loud here and this might be a terrible idea, and maybe at the risk of snubbing journalism majors, but what if the dependency was inverted? As in, what if, instead of having journalists who take a few classes here and there in various subjects, we instead had people who majored in subjects who also took some journalism classes, so they could write on subjects within the field?

What I mean is, instead of having a journalist who took an intro chem series writing about chem topics, we had people who majored in chemistry with a few journalism classes writing the articles instead?

You might say "well people who majored in their science field probably want to work in that field", but I'd say look no further than at the amount of science degree people doing dev work. Something something, a trained ai chatgpt-like tool might also help bridge the gap to journalism? Perhaps a pay gap would also need to be addressed.

Maybe a bader-meinhoff effect thing for me because I see that my previous comment on HN is also related to this, but I am also an ADHD patient that had similar thoughts until considering a little harder about what that actually means for someone who is neurodivergent. I read a book "The Drama of the Gifted Child" by Alice Miller which gave me an interesting change of perspective on this topic. Her other book "For your own good" is longer but also an interesting deeper dive.

Same here. I was a relentless script kiddy who flunked out of grade 10 because of undiagnosed ASD, but having “tech skills” in the early 90s meant I had no problem finding random IT jobs and working up to a career in Gov IT.

I remember hitting a point where there we no more local ISPs who would give us an account, so we’d go to the library and use BO to steal dial up accounts from random companies (always targeting local companies we hated at the time), which we’d keep in a txt file via an IRC fileserv and rotate through. Kept us online until we got better at not getting caught.

Of course all that these days would get you put in prison but back then even when we got caught it was more of a “silly teenagers, don’t do that again or we’ll tell your parents… by the way, can you help fix our printer?”

You denied the enforceability of clickwrap agreements. You were wrong.

LLaMA uses a clickwrap agreement. "By clicking 'I Accept' below or by using or distributing any portion or element of the
Llama Materials, you agree to be bound by this Agreement."

That agreement covers its output: "You will not use the Llama Materials or any output or results of the Llama Materials to improve any other large language model (excluding Llama 2 or derivative works thereof)."

Your hypotheticals about third parties are off-topic and have zero bearing on this conversation.

The topic under discussion is whether it is logically "inconsistent" for Meta to claim its output is protected while other content is not. Those two positions are perfectly consistent in light of the fact that LLaMA output is protected by the terms of a clickwrap agreement.
