Pretty easy. Probably no additional training is required! You probably would need to just get hold of a foundation model that has no AI safety type training done on it. Then ask it nicely. You could also feed it in context some examples of the fake news you would like. And maybe the style. "Here is a BBC article, write an article that Elon Musk plans to visit a black hole by 2030 in this style".
Yup, saw a few papers about this over the past two years, using graph neural networks for code generation. There's also another thread below on this topic.

Edit: Here's some of the papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.09983 and https://aclanthology.org/2021.findings-acl.384.pdf
I think in this case, given the structure around the rules, I could imagine the mean “partisan” in a more explicit sense:

A game where you play as the Democrats to defeat Republicans would be explicitly partisan. A game where you learn about the consequences of defunding social security, in a way that nudges you away from cutting social security probably wouldn’t be considered partisan, even though it’s an issue ghat largely follows party lines.

That’s just my speculation, though
CSS to Go: Simple CSS class name autocompletion for VSCode
This extension provides autocompletion based on class names from your workspace's CSS files. Add the desired CSS files for autocompletion via the context menu. The extension offers settings to specify CSS files for autocompletion and to enable suggestions for various HTML and JavaScript-based languages. It aims to be fast and simple.

For those interested in the implementation, it wraps a Rust parser in napi.rs that interfaces with VSCode glue code. Pretty fun little project.
Peak summer demand from A/C can be shifted by making ice, or even by precooling building structure during the low part of the duck curve. All that's needed is to expose consumers to the actual price signals.
Is there one of these directory style sites that does a decent job of user recommendations so that the best tools float to the top?
Yes.

Though as a corollary, such an event would be civilisation-ending in any regard.

It's also ... highly rare. Somewhere in the 1 in a million to 100 million year range, which is to say, not only longer than the planning horizon of most human institutions, but well outside the existence of the human species for the most part.

It's also well beyond the available supply of terrestrially-minable uranium,[1] and possibly of ocean-extracted uranium,[2] and thorium[3]. Breeders might be another option, though I've seen no substantive estimates of total fuel availability for that case either.[4]

But as an argument favouring nuclear over other energy options ... this is pretty silly, really.

About the only viable defence against such a risk would be, and I say this as someone who's markedly pessimistic on space colonisation, independent and self-sufficient habitations off-Earth: YACP.[5]

________________________________

Notes:

1. If we relied on naturally-occurring terrestrially-mined uranium for all present human energy consumption ... supplies would last fewer than two decades. This is seldom mentioned by nuclear advocates.

2. This offers a potentially much larger supply, as uranium is present as a solute in seawater, but viable industrial-scale extraction is unproven and would require filtering vast quantities of seawater.

3. Thorium is reasonably abundant, though I'm not quite sure how abundant. Thorium-based reactors are not much used, and the concept of molten-salt reactors (MSR) which gained some popularity in the past decade ... faces some very significant engineering hurdles. Managing high-temperature highly-corrosive radioactive salts is ... challenging.

4. Breeders produce plutonium. And now you have two, or more, problems.

5. Yet Another Challenging Proposition.
The people pushing this line of concern are also developing AICert to fix it.

While I’m sure they’re right - factually tampering with an LLM is possible - I doubt that this will be a widespread issue.

Using an LLM knowingly to generate false news seems like it will have similar reach to existing conspiracy theory sites. It doesn’t seem likely to me that simply having an LLM will make theorists more mainstream. And intentional use wouldn’t benefit from any amount of certification.

As far as unknowingly using a tampered LLM, I think it’s highly unlikely that someone would accidentally implement a model at meaningful scale which has factual inaccuracies. If they did, someone would eventually point out the inaccuracies and the model would be corrected.

My point is that an AI certification process is probably useless.
In the same sense that commercial breeder reactors are theoretical (which is conservative, as you can't actually buy a breeder reactor). But nuclear advocates don't talk about those much, even though they'd be needed for a nuclear powered world.

I won’t argue thar vaping is worse, but I will say that having less immediate discomfort at the time of use is not a solid basis for concluding it is not.
I do not really get that bad of withdrawals from either. I only get a headache for about a day or two if I quit caffeine, a bit of sluggishness, and that's it really.

I would agree quitting cannabis might actually be easier though. However, the only side-effect I really ever get that is somewhat annoying is insomnia, but that I why I started using cannabis in the first place.

Ok, stop using oil and they’ll stop drilling for it.

I recall a BBC article saying that Peter Thiel had a back door into Signal. The article didn't stay up long. Since that time, a few years ago (if not before), Signal has effectively been under government control.
I've already seen some videos/images from the lesbian Soviet hedge chemist and some other amateur/non-lab repro attempts showing that if it's diamagnetism, it's much, much stronger than pyrolitic graphite. At least 15x stronger. Diamagnetism also wouldn't explain the resistivity, critical temp, critical current, and critical field graphs.

I think the realistic options at this point are:

1. Complete fraud, including opportunistic fraud by some online accounts who are faking partial replications.
2. Real superconductor of some kind, the papers are all fucked up because of the early leak by Kwon and internal Nobel jostling drama, and the production process is difficult, but fundamentally this is the real deal, RTAPS, but with a critical current and critical field that's lower than we would like, possibly (it's unclear what the measurements for these actually are).
3. They discovered a new type of material which is a very strong diamagnet, and then decided to fake the rest of a superconductor's properties because superconductivity is much more prestigious than a new powerful diamagnet. Replication efforts are having limited success with diamagnetism because it is actually diamagnetic.
It's a real pity.

People/mostly women do actually make a living from images like this. They do it safely (presumably) from home. Looks AI is going to even put the webcam girls out of business.
I think it's way, way too expensive now, and it will probably take a few decades to get it down to practically useful cost levels.

Which is why keeping temperature down with SO2 during that time makes sense.
Hi Rob, I love the concept. I've played around with it for about 20 minutes now.
I use obsidian for almost all my notes and documentation because I like keeping everything as close to plaintext as possible.

I also currently use Omniplan for timelines and Gantt charts, so that is what I would be comparing Markwhen to, in terms of functionality. Omniplan is a very mature app and I recommend giving it a try if you haven't yet. There's a lot of ideas in there that you could import to Markwhen.

Thoughts:
- The travel itinerary planning aspect is interesting. I've never found an itinerary planner I liked, and many of them cost a substantial amount. I'd like to see more about this from markwhen.
- The syntax is somewhat confusing on first reading. I am used to using `###` to mark out headings and paragraphs and this conflicts with standard markdown in that sense. though I havent used Markwhen enough yet to climb over the learning curve.

Two biggest feature requests from me:

- release an Obsidian plugin for Markwhen so I can have Markwhen timelines inside my exisiting Obsidian notes. I'd be happy to pay a one off licence for this even though it would be locally run.

- Find a way to do automatic dependency levelling so that when one task is dependent on another, and I increase the time taken for the first task, then the dependent one is automatically moved forward appropriately.
That's what I have been saying for the last 2-3 years that solar, renewables and batteries are making ice vehicles uncompetitive. The coming electric revolution will be interesting almost everything will use electricy motors while the variable cost to run those motors ie electricity will be getting cheaper.
So try it yourself, on bare metal with Win7, and you can see if my subjective experience is replicated.

Sounds like implementation and integration? Also how do you invest in that? Are video game companies going to offload dialogue generation to a firm that charges a license fee on every bit of dialogue generated?
> Could someone delusional also create a rocket ship? Or is there something special about programming that makes it compatible with delusional thinking?

Programming (eg, TempleOS) can be successful as a solo endeavor. I'm not sure we have enough technical leverage for a single person to create a rocket ship (ie, something capable of lifting real loads to orbit). Maybe in the future when AI systems can fill in some of the details and/or automate the construction.

If you have to coordinate with other humans, insanity is tough. Nobody else can hear the voices in your particular head.
A lot of our current tech stacks are topheavy. I'm all for re-examining foundational internet technologies and objectively examining how stuff can be pushed down the stack as it were; I'm arguably one of the people destroying DNS if that's your mindset, seems like a good key-value store and "data diode" to me.

I think email (SMTP) still hasn't been fully exploited as a job scheduling tool (events... mini batches... SMTP).

Bearing in mind, I don't expect people to burden the public infrastructure with these kinds of activities. I think if you're going to use the DNS for telemetry you need to scale your deployment to handle at least hundreds of requests a second; this isn't hard with DNS, it's just not the mindset of DNS operators intending to use the DNS as it always has been used. There are also some blatantly political considerations which need to be swept away to make it truly seamless.

The gnashing of teeth is obviously suspect when you consider the trajectory of HTTP: from web pages to XHR, SOAP and DoH. However questionable you might find the architectural choices, HTTP continues to work in spite of the abuse. Likewise, the demise of DNS is unlikely.

I live in Georgia, and the only thing this plant will do is raise our rates.

It's late (of course) and HUGELY over budget (also of course). The planners always knew it would be way late and way over budget. None of that mattered, because the 'regulatory' system guarantees they get it all back (and more) from the rate payers.

It was also painfully obvious WHEN THIS WAS PLANNED that building Solar and/or Wind would get done sooner and far less expensively.

Obviously, there are strategies to handle the shortage in the long term.

Right now, there is a shortage. If there is a shortage of hammers, one cannot just claim that the shortage does not exist because we can eventually make more hammers.

The recent rollout of USCG Subchapter M has created significant demand while not increasing the available supply. I agree that industry and government should have realized this would happen.

That makes me think I am also probably addicted to buying stuff from Aliexpress. When I get an idea about something, I usually compulsively buy something from AliExpress and then not finish the project, sometimes not even opening the plastic wrapping the thing came inside. I hope it doesn't transform into an addiction.

For example I bought a digital pH meter for 15€ some weeks ago yet I never used it for a thing. I do not even know basic chemistry.

Enough about myself (: Thank you for posting your story.
People have been ingesting cannabis habitually since before western society even existed. Anything that makes you feel good can be habit forming, but not everything that’s habit forming is addicting. If a person drinks sodas everyday and struggles to quit are they an addict? Or just coping with boredom and under stimulation?

Cannabis is medicine just like every other recreational drug can be, the difference is in the dose and who’s making money off of it.
Brazil-China Deal: Bypassing the United States Dollar and Neoclassical Realism
Doesn't it seem like there should be some sort of annealing process required? this material being essentially a powder smashed into a tablet form seems like it would likely be a very poor conductor unless the superconducting properties not only existed in each of the granules of the powder, but also can easily transition between each of the boundaries. So wouldn't you want the final thing to be closer to like a ceramic form? (probably not understanding something here)
It’s honestly insufferable.

Makes me want the version with zero guardrails even more if this is the future I have to put up with.
Maybe not yet the final nail in the coffin but I would no longer bet much on a successful replication. Which leaves me wondering how we got the initial papers. Does fraud make any sense, how could you possibly benefit from something like this? And if I would think that I might have produced a room temperature superconductor due to experimental errors, I would double and tripple check what I did. Assuming there is time for that. So incompetence? Self-delusion due to a desire for it to be true?
So she's VP of Sales
Exactly that. It's hard to have any sort of control over a lifetime, but I went to university, have worked in software, and some of the friends I compare myself to did the same. I'm still "smart". But I feel like smoking as much as I did has accelerated my age-related cognitive decline.

I don't feel that I wasted the years, but I do think that the thousands of hours spent stoned were a complete waste and have decreased the potential quality of the latter half of my life.

It's the entire reason for the explosion of hemp stores everywhere in the last few years.

That "0.3%" clause is the kicker. Because 0.3% is a long way away from being 0%, it means posession of THC is now federally legal.

As far as I’m aware, no NASA standards call for FMEDA. It doesn’t mean a project manager couldn’t levy it, but it’s not often that a contractor adds additional requirements to a gov funded build.
This is nerd sniping at its best. I immediately fell into the exact trap described in the article. My first immediate reaction: can we represent it with 3D B-splines and solve analytically for tangent rays? My second reaction: humans are pretty good at contouring but we rely on shading and contrast change information a lot. Can we ray trace a bunch of images shaded from different points and apply convolutional nets to get contours? I am pretty sure the second approach is a bit of a chicken and egg problem and the first one has plenty of gotchas, but it was entertaining to think about it.

I found it interesting that maslow's heirarchy of needs shows much more detailed heirarchy: "physiological", "safety", "belonging and love", "social needs" or "esteem", "self-actualization" and "transcendence"

...and the physiological needs are broken down further and slightly differently:

Physiological needs include:

Air
Water
Food
Heat
Clothes
Urination
Excretion

> If a person drinks sodas everyday and struggles to quit are they an addict?

Yes, quite likely.

> Cannabis is medicine just like every other recreational drug can be

Opiate painkillers are medicine, too. Still, addiction to them is very real. “Medicine” and “addictive” aren't opposed concepts.
BTW, what does "neoclassical realism" refer to here?

To me, that phrase evokes Greco-Roman marble busts and frescos, but done in the modern era--using ancient techniques but say doing a statue of a Miyazaki anime character or Murakami Mr DOB but in Greco-Roman marble sculpture or fresco; or more "realistic", doing like a historical event, say JFK's September 12, 1962, "Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort." in fresco, or marble, or on the side of an urn.
Part of "Survivorship Bias" is also "repairability".

My father used to replace the control thermostat in our refrigerator about every 5 years and the compressor somewhere between every 10-15 years.
> dabbing all day and vaping oil is in no way comparable to caffeine

That's comparing the extremes of cannabis administration. I do not utilized any of those methods of administration, so perhaps you are right on how badly it affects one. Then again, I imagine if people were snorting caffeine pills consistently, the withdrawals would be worse than a cup of green tea a day.

Oddly enough, I have never really noticed the irritability as a side-effect. I usually trend towards heightened levels of anxiety. The fog you speak of tends to dissipate for me after a few days to a week.

Your guess is partly correct. Jones Act and USCG Subchapter M are bigger parts of the problem.

It is not just pay rate. Where I can match pay rates, I cannot match lifestyle. U.S. citizens and green card holders have more attractive jobs available to them that do not require being away from family for weeks at a time. (e.g., software development)

Well, IMHO high interest rates - meaning no cheap money - also plays a role. AI blew up at a bad time while cryptocurrency lucked out.
I will admit that this is a surprisingly cool project. The limitations put upon it severely limit what it can be and, as a result, a little tough to overcome though.

For one, who exactly is the audience here? If it is intended for adults, then restriction on anything deemed offensive, racist, or not in line with unspoken agenda ( it is not listed ) will miss the mark if only, because it will not deal with the reality of the world around them. Even "Papers please" dealt with difficult questions. How on earth can you even begin to have a game about civics that is not grounded in the reality that this country was founded on?

If it is intended for younger audience, then the encyclopedic nature of the required sources will almost automatically make the game not cool for anyone, who consider games games. How are going to keep the younger audience's attention? You think you can make a quiz show 'So you wanna be a President?' Good luck. Thing won't even register to kids unless you are jumping on a pogo stick in US senate on senator's heads in an effort to confuse them enough to vote for the bill. Hold on. Let me write it down.

I like the idea. I do. I do think we need more civic engagement. We do need engaged and informed citizenry. But I do not think it can be achieved by writing an RTS of trying to 'capture' all lobbyists before they reach certain congress members and change their minds on how the vote should go..

Author stems from the same Latin root as authority, namely auctor, meaning "master, leader, author".

<https://www.etymonline.com/word/authority>

<https://www.etymonline.com/word/author>

So an author is one who creates, but also a "source of authoritative information or opinion".

Confusingly, authentic seems to have a different etymology, *autos "self" (see auto-) + hentes* "doer, being".

<https://www.etymonline.com/word/authentic>

So to authenticate an author as an authority derives three meanings from two separate roots.
