Because the drivetrain is several times more efficient, other loads have an outsized impact on mileage. The Model 3 is rated by EPA to be 131 MPGe.

So yeah -- if your drivetrain is getting 131 MPG, your A/C that consumes the same amount of power is going to have a much larger proportional impact.
That's not how bullshit works.

An expertise is needed from the reader when presented with false material. That's why so many people think parody news articles are real.

If you have ever gone through any comment thread on the internet about climate change you'll find a large volume of climate deniers citing God, greedy liberals, George Soros, whatever.

The people working with these fictions can always just add more fiction to fill in whatever hole. They aren't bound by reality or credulity.

Actually understanding global climate systems takes an incredible amount of study. You just can't blurt out a few paragraphs of words and get people to stop believing in Jewish weather machine conspiracies or whatever they're thinking.

We would have been done with that by now if this were the case.

Dislodging bullshit is hard. Humanity only started figuring out how a few hundred years ago and we're still fucking it up - such as in the replication crisis

“Our memory is fast, so let us redraw everything” is a given. Our web APIs on the other hand are incredibly slow, so let us carefully track changes in a complicated runtime (or compiler) to avoid redundantly modifying properties in a tree.
In superconducting magnets, this sudden loss of superconductivity is called a quench[1] and can be destructive. The LHC recently suffered from this, discussed here[2], and is undergoing repairs.

You use a vector database with a query similarity search to find portions of documents that might be relevant to your prompt, rank them, take the top n, put them into the context and run through your LLM to generate an answer to your question.
> Yes, reducing bias in the models is a noble goal, but introducing new bias and blindspots to do it is a no-no.

What other option would there be though? It seems like a binary field. You can either leave it wholly unaligned, or you can attempt to align the model, and you will introduce your own bias as a side effect.

In the future, and in fact in the present, there is already a "gray market" for unaligned models. There will surely be market for these and they will sell just any other item on this market.

The big FPGA companies tend to be a bit lawyer-happy when you start publicly analysing their bitstream formats. I wonder if that's what happened.
You use a (probably vector, ideally) database and a framework of behind-the-scenes prompting that uses it to do a “research loop” to gather info to answer questions. You might also fine tune it on the source you want it to incorporate, but training (including fine tuning) is most useful (as I understand) to provide “understanding”, not exact recall, whereas a searchable auxiliary memory and a framework which accesses it as part of the process of generating user responses is a way to provide exact recall over a larger dataset.
I recently got tested for Alpha-Gal due to some issues when I eat meat (autoimmune flare ups). It came back negative, and a random comment on here referring to Neu5gc gave me another place to look, which seems to be helping (I’m essentially vegan + fish now).

That's absolute bullshit. Even if you can technically secure or transmit a billion dollar using crypto, if it is illegal in your jurisdiction, using crypto doesn't make it less illegal.

> Fields turn into forests in less than a generation, if properly neglected.

There's a place near where I live that's government land according to the parcel map but used to be a golf course and a private home. Now both are abandoned and there's a thick, nearly impenetrable forest between them. I went on Google Earth to look up historical imagery, and back in 1990, that forest was an empty, plowed field.

I’d like to generate Minecraft fan fic. GPT4 does a terrible job because it’s been lobotomized. Fine tuning a model with a corpus of fan fic generates better fan fic. If I could fine tune GPT4 then ok I agree. But “general purpose lobotomized oracle” is only one use case for a language model, albeit a useful one, is the least creative one.

> Yes, reducing bias in the models is a noble goal

“Bias” is not a unidimensional thing (or even one with a meaningful magnitude); you can’t reduce bias, you can make it more transparent (better documented) so that you can evaluate appropriateness for particular uses.

While I am not a big fan of the crew that pushes “alignment” as the main issue with regard to AI for other reasons, that’s a particularly good term for what is important – aligning the biases of the AI with the usage intent. “Reducing” bias makes sense only with regard to a specific usage intent.

I think this is still IBMs license model (at least a few years ago). It was explained to me you basically license a certain amount of compute even though the hardware is in your data center and you pay overages if you exceed your licensed throughput.

Since you license a fixed amount, there were projects at the company looking at running batch/non time sensitive jobs on the mainframe since it was effectively free off peak (I guess power cost was trivially compared to licensing).
Meissner effect or bust. Day 1
Working on chromium codebase maintaining minimal fork is very hard. It requires a very competent and quite a large team (because lots of work to resolve merge conflicts) to just regularily apply a custom set of patches to newly released chromium versions.

It's like staying on a dancing elephant. And it requires MONEY. Lots of.

I suspect this is the desired result of Google to protect chromium despite it's opensource.

Classic mode does not use compositing at all, but the drawing routines of GDI etc were hardware accelerated already. Keeping a buffer around for every window for compositing could become a big performance problem and was part of the reason why Vista was considered slow. Mac OS X had this problem too.

> No need to make any policy changes; existing policy appears enough to make people work less

I interpret this in the opposite way you do. Labor force participation includes effects where people think it's not economically worth their time to work. Reducing supply of labor could be expected to increase labor force participation.

Not to mention this version of the statistic is a completely worthless one: it's not corrected for demographic (aging) effects.

> As long as the ones who are working 10% fewer hours are also taking home 10% less

This is unlikely: when you reduce the supply of something, the price tends to go up.

> if everyone working works 10% less, that's 10% less available

The marginal benefit of the factor (e.g. per-hour productivity) tends to go up, too. (Declining marginal factor product, blah blah blah). Indeed, this is why the price of the factor increases.
City budget or loans. Easy enough if your mayor have a friend who want to start a gardening company !

I'm joking: even without corruption, you can find an ideological reason, as a company will surely be more efficient than public servants!

But more likely because of incertitude: what do we do if a gardener resign? Paying an existing company 95k/year instead of spending 75k/year directly isn't a huge expense increase, and if 20k/year is the price for peace of mind (no new equipment to buy, no HR issues...) it can very well be worth it.

I'm not saying this is good or bad by the way, i'm saying this is how GDP work. It's factual. Yes, there is a left-wing slant about how i presented it, but it wasn't heavy, and a liberal could use the same example in the same way and justifying a better distribution of work and concerns (while still finding that GDP is worthless in this case)

This is interesting as an indicator, it's meaningless as a target.

Ask HN: Where can I get OpenAI model weights that used my ShareAlike content?
I’ve created and contributed to the Wikipedia content, which I’ve shared with the copyleft Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license. I understand that nearly all OpenAI GPT models had used Wikipedia either directly, or indirectly. And as derived works, these also should be available under the same ShareAlike license, with no additional constraints.

Where can I download the weights of all the OpenAI models, which had used my ShareAlike-licensed data?
Least, perhaps? But certainly contentious.

In my view, the job of the C committee should be to eliminate undefined behaviour and any remaining specification ambiguities (or errors) and otherwise leave the damned language alone.

If you want a new language every 3 years, you can always use C++.
Lucky, I was the only nerd in my school that I ever spoke to who had even heard of Commander Keen!

Now that I've thought about it a little more, I realised it's like painting a picture on the side of a cylinder. No matter where you draw the left-hand edge of the image, there's always a way to rotate the cylinder (set the CRTC_START and PEL registers) so you can see the whole thing clearly.

I work at an Australian University and can confirm that use of AI to generate content is rampant. It's often quite blatant and at least in the subject I teach easy to spot, but in a lot of subjects it would be much harder.

A lot of my subject is group work and presentations, so if a student uses ChatGPT or even for that matter another human to write their content, they usually get caught out in the presentation when they can't answer questions about it.

I also work in IT there, and can see the volume of traffic on our wifi hitting ChatGPT. I'd love to blockhole the DNS but I suspect our service desk would be inundated with calls claiming "the wifi is broken" and not just from students...

Pretty much everything nowadays is copyrighted, by omitting such materials, what are you really left with?

LLM is a tool much like the internet is a tool. Yes, someone can use it to steal, but stealing is against the law.

Instead of encoding a criminal justice system into an LLM by omitting the possibility of stealing an artists work or omitting the knowledge of physics so someone can't learn how to build a bomb, we should instead just prosecute people for using it in that way intentionally.

How often do people get prosecuted for ripping off an artists style? The criminal justice system "hated artists" long before LLMs and it's not the responsibility of the tech. companies to rectify that in my opinion.
How are you making ends meet then? Or are you freelancing or something?
Were they paying for their own computer? This is a problem I've seen in academic science. Grants and departments don't want to pay for computers, so there's a tacit expectation that you'll buy one yourself. My spouse had to do this. In turn there's no consistent IT management of these computers.

My wife's attitude is typical: If they want to touch my computer, they can buy one that they own.

Ask HN: Learning Resources for Dashboard Design
I'm looking for recommendations on resources that will help improve the skill of creating effective dashboards. It's an interesting area considering it crosses the boundary of statistics, UX, and knowledge sharing.

Can anyone recommend some books, blog posts, etc. on this topic?
What more direct message do you think would've been better, and how would it have been better? Is there a specific channel, statement, or way of phrasing it that would have materially changed something, in your view?

> The labor force participation rate has been steadily decreasing from the 1990-2000 peak

Yes, its called age demographics. As a demographic bulge moves into retirement age, the LFPP (which is the labor force engaged share of the population above a lower age limit, but not restricted by an upper age limit) naturally goes down, ceteris paribus.
Reading through the article I had an overwhelming sense of anger and some sense of defeat, then weighed the outcome of the consequences of smashing one with a baseball bat or similar.

Ideally you build an international power grid. Solar in the Sahara powers Europe but then you loop it around the world and we have 24 hour power from Australia and the Atacama, tied into hydro, nuclear and wind.

Put it in your battery anode and you can charge your car in a few seconds.

Computers won't need cooling and can be way smaller. Quantum computing becomes more practical. AGI is more likely.

Huge implications for Fusion, which then means we can start pulling CO2 from the air since we'll have more power than we need...

Which like... If you were a prisoner for instance, how do you think you'd feel if they pretty much admitted that "Hey, we were wrong, we put you up for x years."

Personally I think it makes it tantamount to false imprisonment and a miscarriage of justice, and blatantly admitting to fault with no reluctance whatsoever.

Not to mention in any cases where it the crime was registered as - felonious we're talking the restoration of rights to these folks.

But then there's damages. I was refused an entry level job at a convenience store over possession/consumption charges which at the time had occurred 4 years prior. Those were misdemeanor charges. How many people have had their balls busted over "trafficking of a controlled substance" because they were on an interstate, wound up with a felony charge, probation, prison/jail time, and a record that haunted them for years. I went straight because I had a decent job laid in my lap that turned a blind eye to my record - a lot of people in a lot of places won't have that opportunity.

And if they acknowledge that, then they'll also have to acknowledge that they were also reasonably at fault for poor outcomes which proceeded from their intervention. You go into the College of Criminals with an AS in potsmoking and graduate with a PhD in dealing meth and an MS in criminal violence - no surprise the recidivism rate is so high.
