The quote I used was from the story. And I said it "seems distinctly wrong to me." If you are pushing that the accepted idea is more nuanced, I'm open to that. If you say that I am just wrong, I'm also open to that. As it is, it seems hard for me to take from the lead in on this article.

I'll note that later quotes at least took it in a much softer interpretation. “We can categorize without language, but the speed and the efficiency with which we categorize can be boosted” is far different from the article's, "As a result, they see colors in the world in slightly a different way."

That is, it seems far easier to accept that they categorize the world in a different way. But just because I said there are some birds in the yard, doesn't mean that I can't see the difference between jays, woodpeckers, and my chickens. Heck, just because I don't know the breed names of my chickens doesn't mean that I can't tell I have several breeds. If I say I have a collection of fowl, that doesn't mean I don't understand I have ducks and chickens. (Similarly, if I have some ducks, that doesn't mean I don't know the difference between drakes and ducks.)

Your last paragraph really takes this to the much softer "we remember based on our vocabulary." And, that doesn't seem nearly as controversial. Again, though, the article had "they see colors in the world in slightly a different way." Which, yeah, I still feel is very wrong. Your memory is not necessarily how you experience and see things. It is more how you encoded them into your memory.
They've got the best support, for sure. But how often do you need support?

Our business is with Superloop 1000/50 ($109, and actually gets 1000Mbps solidly). Used to be with MyRepublic and would get between 300-700Mbps depending on time of day.

At home we just use a cheap provider - Spintel. It seems that for the lower speeds (we're on 50/20) you don't run into CVC issues like you used to.
That's right, LA Times! No one in the whole history of the world ever succumbed to Irrational Exuberance before. It was Big Tech that brought that plague down on us.

Of course, it was 1996 when Alan Greenspan coined the phrase, before Google & Amazon were big, so we have to cover up that fact.

> just pointing out that things are pretty fucking good all considered.

That might be true, but we can do a lot better in terms of eliminating poverty.

> I’m not in favor of a wealth tax though I frankly still don’t see any evidence that it improves society.

Blindly throwing money at things probably doesn't help. I daresay there are plenty of great initiatives the government could support with better spending. If money becomes the bottleneck, that's where the wealth tax comes in.

> Our edge as a nation comes from our insane technological and economic output. Squeezing the private sector too hard can drive away that innovation.

I don't think we have been squeezing the private sector hard enough. I value the notion of innovation enough that I don't support widespread nationalization of companies, but there's plenty of waste going on. Government contractors are a great example. Our unbridled capitalism has resulted in massive corporations focusing on making obscene amounts of profit. Insurance companies, credit companies, data brokers, FAANG (although some of what Google does is quite innovative), etc.. I imagine there's a disproportionate amount of innovation considering all the profit.
I think he's proposing this kind of API:

POST /openai/gpt4
{
"prompt": "The address of the White House",
"sampler_wasm": "base64 encoded WASM binary blob here"
}

That WASM would be a program that you write yourself that is run as part of the tokenizer - so it could be a grammar but it could be anything else too.

It's WASM which means it can be safely and performantly run in a sandbox by the OpenAI servers as part of their execution of your prompt.
> Did you experience BPD as a romantic partner?

Yes. (We broke it off, but for reasons entirely unrelated to BPD. We're still friends. It's not my only experience with BPD.)

> To butcher it, they feel great anxiety that you are going to leave and test that assumption by acting out. When you don't leave after they act out, they feel comfortable for a time until the cycle begins anew.

I agree. Believe me, I am actually very familiar with that. But your storyline still does not fit. Imagining a shifted property line is way more than that, and claiming that she owns the town is straight delusional.

In all the "testing of the assumption that I am going to leave/abandon" them that I underwent, never did anyone come close to spending six months to "prove" a delusional claim. It was all highly emotional spur of the moment stuff. No lies or actual counterfactual realities involved.

Going back to the article you linked, that actually all rings very true to me. But it does not mention either lying, or delusional and counterfactual beliefs at all. If that was a common symptom, why would the article not list it, especially given what a bad symptom it is?

Especially because, for example, the articles on narcissistic or histrionic personality do mention it pretty clearly?

I'm not sure why this is so important to you. You obviously have to deal with someone who has a personality disorder. It's a lot to deal with. Why does it have to be BPD, specifically? Or why can't it be BPD and something else on top of it?
Facebook absolutely factually does not have a clickwrap agreement over 3rd-party content generated with LLaMA; restrictions of users do not magically mean that output has its own universally enforceable EULA applied to everyone else. There is no interpretation of US contract law that says that 3rd-party data generated with LLaMA would be subject to LLaMA's license. There is no clickwrap agreement over LLaMA's output, and no legal precedent that argues that any restriction of LLaMA's usage would apply to 3rd-parties accessing that output. The output is not protected in the way you claim, and I fully stand by the fact that a clickwrap agreement over downloading LLaMA from Facebook would not be enforceable over people who did not download LLaMA and are merely using 3rd-party LLaMA output.

The studios burned through lots of money for the streaming boom, and the investors want returns from their burned money right about now.

At the other end, streaming services are stuffed with content. I have no proof, but I suspect viewers will learn than the back catalog is pretty good.
My low tech but effective technique is: put a very little red wine in a wine glass (preferably stemless); flies will quickly congegrate. When there's enough (your judgement, for me 15 or more) very slowly place a plastic yogurt lid over the glass. Then put the whole thing in the freezer for 30minutes. They'll be dead, rinse and repeat. No muss no fuss.
There's a better way to get data out of Azure if you can handle a bit of manual scripting (way worth if for large tables).

Setup linked-servers from your local server (via Server Objects / Linked servers), once you've done that you can just do "INSERT INTO bigtable(..) SELECT .. FROM [remotename].dbo.bigtable;" , it'll tax the transaction log but it's a magnitude faster than bacpac's,etc. Sadly Azure SQL doesn't support linked servers so one of the servers has to be outside.
Well, no.

In business, you deal with it.
>and more like the incorrect handling of false positives is the problem.

And what would be the "correct" way of handling it? Remember, you don't know that the test returned positive, not that it's a false positive or not. Are you going to tell the patient, "your breast cancer test returned positive, but given your age and other risk factors the probability that you actually have breast cancer is pretty low, so we won't do anything about it"? Even if that's the right thing to do from a statistical perspective, can you imagine the public outrage directed at the bureaucrat/politician that implemented this policy, if it turned out the patient did have breast cancer and died 2 years later?
If only the neutral parts didn't heavily rely on the dirty parts most of the time rendering the separation kind of meaningless.
Let me put it in perspective for you: Hollywood the actors and writers are on strike because Hollywood, the money making machinery decided to replace them with a product from SV.

I don’t care for Hollywood and indeed it has gotten quite garbage anyway but I do support the actors and writers striking because they can. For the rest of us it remains to be seen how we’re going to handle it or whether we boil slowly..

In a way they may determine our fate as well. Imagine one scenario where the strike flops, AI is implemented as replacement and all goes well. In this scenario we’re more or less going to follow the same.

I let other scenarios play out however your imagination desires

My only response would be (1) to point to the date of when he said that compared to the date of the final manuscript, and the all the conversations that occurred n between. I think that was from sometime in January. (2) we shouldn't read over-much into an off-the-cuff slack message, ostensibly shared with a small number of individuals, with his impressions and thoughts at the time. The purpose of those discussions is to bang ideas off the wall. In any case, I don't expect good scientists to rigidly hang on to an idea. I expect good scientists to evolve their thinking as they learn.

But you may be right that the published paper did not speak to what their particular priors were when they started out. I'm not certain that we should expect it to either. A lot of times you start off with ill-formed half-ideas, and while they may be where you started off from, the utility of sharing that starting point might cause more confusion--or even spread more misinformation--that do good.
> The essential object of competition is "ability to attract and influence men"

I completely disagree. communication via appearance starts from an early age. Young girls (less than 7 yrs old) try to look pretty. There is communication too between girls via appearance. boys don’t enter the picture until much later.

Remember the red and blue journalists attending China’s presidential address. The red coat journalist got the mic and spoke of unrelenting support. The blue coat journalist was so taken aback by this weird support she began to eye the person from top to bottom. Both were women. And were native Chinese working for American media companies. They communicate with looks.
No, they are almost certainly suggesting crypto would solve the issue...
"The boom times are over. Executives know it. Wall Street knows it. And the story that we're in a revolutionary moment of technological transformation will run out of gas soon."

With there being no evidence of this supposedly widespread doctoring of records, sounds more like right-wingers got caught with their pants down driving a narrative to fit what and what they felt was right and what "TPTB" wanted, and you're all in denial now about it. The truth is out.
Yeah, and what about the value of production hardware and infrastructure? (Stuff not being sold/transferred to customers.)

For example, imagine a company with very little proprietary code because they focus entirely on renting out their CPU/GPU/disk capacity, for supercomputing, databases, render-farms, cloud backup, etc. I'd still call that a "tech company."

It's also not clear how this "intellectual property of the source code" angle would accommodate the network-effects or value of a subscriber-base... Well, I suppose you could argue that such an asset doesn't require high-tech means, it could all be snail-mail.

Yeah, no. Not that simple.

One of the most valuable things I got from doing my taxes through CPA's for decades boils down to a single word: Education.

Tax laws are complex and they are not going to change any time soon. As I said in another comment, we can't even build a damn high speed train --which is simple when compared to changing tax laws. So, let's not pretend the idea of simplifying tax laws is anything other than a fantasy.

The education I received through the years guided me towards understanding what one can do to use the legal tools available to all of us to reduce our tax obligations.

I emphasize "legal" because people somehow have equated paying less taxes to some nefarious thing. If the law says you can take deduction A by doing B. Well, do B and get deduction A. If you don't, you are leaving your money on the table out of pure ignorance.

The probability of and IRS easy file system providing this level of service to taxpayers is less than zero. I have never regretted paying a CPA to advise me and prepare my taxes. It's worth every penny.

From ASM Microbe in Houston, Texas, Vincent speaks with Eddie Holmes about the evidence that SARS-CoV-2 spilled over into humans in the Huanan Market in Wuhan, absence of evidence for other origins, and his work on the virosphere.
Agreed, need some more flat earth points of view instead of all these spherists.
I’ve also observed my kitchen’s CO2 levels consistently going from 650 to 1200 while cooking (or to 900 if using the hood vent), and dropping down to baseline 60 minutes later. This is with a gas range. CO2 monitor 70cm away.

Unclear how much is due to the combustion of gas vs. also the cooking of food, as others have mentioned. I suspect it’s almost entirely from combustion of the gas. Though, I have noticed that the CO2 levels don’t climb as high if simply boiling water on high heat.
IMO this is all fine so long as it is clearly explained and advertised as such.

Can I recommend you put the screenshot on your homepage?

I was looking at it and wondering why I needed to install an extension.

My initial reaction was "why can't I try this without an extension", until I looked at the 2nd screenshot on the extension install page, and then it clicked that you're actually putting the ratings right into the Netflix UI, which is great.

I wonder how many other people miss this VERY important part of your product.
Big food is a lot closer to being the sort of industry that promotes habit-forming products that kill their consumers (via obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.)

The unhealthy food industry also lobbies against regulation (such as sugar or snack taxes, or banning unhealthy foods in schools), and blames the consumers of their products. I wouldn't be surprised if they funded biased scientific studies as well. Meanwhile sugar subsidies cost US taxpayers billions of dollars.

Also consider the "low-fat" movement that blamed fat for obesity, disease, and death while ignoring soda and highly processed foods loaded with sugar, simple carbs, sodium, and additives.

Another problem is that many teachers aren't worth much money at all. How do parents ensure the teachers worth it get their tax dollars, and not some sleazy pedophile whose hiding behind the teachers union? Until that is solved to sufficient satisfaction, even good teachers will be paid crap.

The key part of that wall of "and so to ..." handwaving is:

Part of The Heat May Indeed Be Coming from Beneath Our Feet

which is absolutely 100% true.

The earth's core used to much hotter, its slowly cooling (over a very long timescale).

The earth's crust used to have active natural fission reactors from masses of uranium - they've all cooled and are not longer active (although still with higher than usual gamma spectrum activity).

The bearing of any of that on the current climate issue though is essentially none. nada. zilch.

Over the past 1000 years the change in cooling rate (transfer of heat from below to atmosphere) has been infintessimal (as a global average) there's been no sudden increase in rate of heat from below.

Similarly, on average in the same time period, there's been no real meaningful change in the energy coming in from the sun.

Increased energy trapped in the sea | land | troposhere layer is just about entirely due to increased thermal insulation caused by increased CO2, methane, and water vapour.

ie same energy from above and same from below - the change in the past 100 years has been the amount of energy trapped.

Our "very simple, very reasonable model" for bulk coarse behaviour wrt energy inputs, transfers, outputs for the sphereical onion layer in which we live is robust, well measured, and includes the sun and core as inputs.

The tricky part these days is refining the "small details" of how increased energy will drive changes in and between the earth's climatic cells.
Remarks by President Biden on Artificial Intelligence
I mean you're going to need to include a probability to backtrack one way or another, but simply having a backtrack character seems more like a trick to make fitting the model easier than a way to make constraining it more accurate.

Simply having the probability to backtrack does turn the whole generation process into a ergodic Markov chain though, so you might be able to use something like MCMC to make it work. Technically those only start sampling the distribution eventually but picking the first or nth full output might be good enough for all practical purposes. Especially at low temperatures where there aren't many reasonable options in the first place.

Cooking food with electric sources still produces a lot of PM2.5 from the food itself.

The article is about cooking food that becomes smoky, which is going to be a huge source of air quality issues even with electric cooking.

If that was your baseline then something was seriously wrong with your stove. Also, most gas stoves are natural gas, not propane.
How many pages that weren't mostly text were around on the web in 1995, really?

People burn down rain forests and forests because their farming techniques generate piss poor yields versus modern techniques forcing the use of larger plots of land to generate enough product. Modern farming techniques would cause much less loss of rainforest.
Eh, cutting out sugar and high fructose corn syrup makes eating less so much easier. A good portion of the US is so addicted to sugar that their body doesn’t tell them they are full.

Once you cut that out then I agree with you. It’s hard to tackle portion control when your body is lying to you about being hungry.
It's really not bad for you, not relative to tons and tons of other things.

The biggest thing is, if you have good air quality outside, you need to keep your windows open as much as you can. I'm using sensors on all the windows at my place, and a temperature sensor outside and HomeAssistant, which tells me when outdoor temperature is lower than indoor, so I know when I can open the windows and not use additional HVAC capacity. That keeps indoor air quality in-check.

If you live somewhere with poor outdoor air quality, you likely need a filter to clean your air up at least a little. That can be a standalone air purifier, or it could be as simple as a HVAC filter taped to a cheap box fan. Keep your filters changed every few months, never have to dust again, and enjoy cleaner air. Simple.

It's important to make note of the fact that when we talk about tech giants having a notable investment in ads, it's not the mere display of ads. It's the capturing of profiles, selling of this information to the highest bidders, and the tracking of this display.

When you understand that, you know that is not how the world runs and is actually very specific to big tech as they pioneered this hyper specific shift. You do not have access to everyone's information who sees your billboard. You do however have access to exactly how many people in a certain area during a certain time with the income between 50-100k who are older men who enjoy football, has seen your digital ad. Hopefully that illustrates the difference well enough.
Are they really comparing the cost of vegetables and fruits to meat? How much do fruits cost? $2.00 a pound? Apples, bananas, peaches,etc are cheaper than meat. Same with vegetables. Cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes are cheaper than any meat.
The interplay between SV in the form of Netflix and Hollywood in the last 15 years of streaming wars is interesting but the author loses the plot a bit in trying to connect to Uber, WeWork, etc. By the time those companies were making waves the Hollywood trends were already in motion.

Netflix made waves for sure with original content, but if you look at in another light, it was just an extension of what HBO and other cable networks had already started doing.

And Hollywood initially was much more concerned with Youtube and piracy than Netflix, see the introduction of Hulu as a free ad-supported broadcast-network-based "TV from last night" alternative to piracy.

Hulu borrowed the back catalog model from Netflix as streaming grew, and then eventually started doing its own originals too, which was then also copied by everyone else, including Youtube, ironically enough.

And this was a boon for writers and actors and studious, but at the same time the contracts weren't particularly well thought out (see how some stuff has now been pulled from streaming altogether because the views weren't seen as enough to support paying whatever was needed to make it available at all per contract) or actor/writer friendly in terms of residuals.

So it's a tough time on the backend now since hardly anyone who tried to throw money at content and hope profit followed succeeded (hi Quibi), and the market was oversaturated, PLUS the deals got increasingly talent-unfriendly since the syndication residuals and similar dried up. And now there's the specter of AI too!

But all that was set in motion from 2007-2013, before "magical thinking" about Uber, Theranos, WeWork, etc was mainstream; and even without AI things would be at a head.
