Is training a "pirate model" something you'd reasonably be able to do at home though, given the compute requirements? The analogous "image generation at home" is only possible due to a for-profit entity with significant resources choosing to (a) play fast-and-loose with the provenance of their training set and (b) giving away the resulting model for free, if the open source community had to train their models from scratch then as best as I can tell they would still be stuck in the dark ages generating vague goopy abominations.
I don't follow you. They track scientific publications and their citation networks. I feel like you are reading something in my post I didn't claim. My point was that the citations can be lost in the sense than they wont be counted by the bibliographic databases that are usually used by administrators to get citation numbers for evaluating researchers and institutions. Of course the citations still exist between the papers. But for a researcher their bibliometric indicators will come out lower after a redaction, in most cases when they are evaluated for grants or career progression.
Ok but in both the case of HN and TOR, you're making a judgement about the kind of people on there. There's nothing inherently wrong with traffic from a TOR router, it's the users on there. HN referrals are similarly not a problem per se.

Long, long ago, when i first learned that i could define my own (css) defaults on my browser, my mind was blown! I can't recall if it was back in netscape navigator or early fireforx days...but learning the command path from the menu to "turn off css styles" (View -> Page Style -> No style) made me feel like some sort of superpowered being! lol :-D More seriously, it actually helped me better understand the web, html, web pages as documents "downloaded" by the browser, etc. I became a much better web dev for it - beyond feeling like i had more freedom due to software/app.!
Generally speaking, lesbians are more affected by PCOS than Heterosexual women.[1] PCOS is associated with higher androgen production due to insulin resistance.

Do you know what decreases insulin resistance and changes gut microbiome composition? intermitent fasting.

A review published in Frontiers in Microbiology in 2020 suggested that women with PCOS tend to have less diverse gut bacteria, and the balance of different types of bacteria might also be altered. The causal relationship is obviously not clear.

No, I have seen that. I have even called and asked why I was charged $15 for a towel to wipe the ultrasound gel off my wife's belly, when it was just paper towel, and if I knew it was going to cost me $15 I would have done it myself. And I was told to ignore it.

But that seems irrelevant to my point. If you worked at an insurance company (not just health), and were tasked with contracting vendors (such as doctors or mechanics or construction), would you not want to stipulate that your vendor is giving you the lowest price publicly available from that vendor to avoid paying more than necessary, which would then allow you to offer your customers lower insurance premiums and compete with other insurance companies?

The false assumption here is that people are naturally inclined to do nothing unless given money.

Strange, I knew a less humorous (and, I think, more useful and realistic) rule:

80% of the work is completed in 20% of the total development time; while the remaining 20% of work consumes 80% of the time.

And this is something I've seen again and again: the large, most impactful features and architecture of a system are designed and implemented fairly quickly; it's the many small details get forever to be defined and implemented accurately.
> The previous administration also squandered a lot of debt on tax breaks for the ultra wealthy.

That's a nice sound bite but it's not true as the majority of the tax breaks went to the middle class:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/11/14/does-trum...

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/26/politics/fact-check-sanders-t...

Even if the majority of the tax cuts went to the wealthy, there's nothing inherently wrong with the people who are paying the most taxes getting the most out of a tax cut. The other end of the income spectrum makes that immediately apparent. Would you expect every tax cut to directly pay money who don't pay any taxes at all?

Can we never lower taxes on people making more than some arbitrary income? Or do you mean that after some arbitrary income amount, it's never okay to ever get a tax cut?
> "not letting kids play in the dirt" -> "weak microbiome"

I'd caution that there are at least two variations of this, with rather different treatment implications:

1. ("Hygiene Hypothesis") Modern immune systems are coddled degenerate weaklings that should be toughened up with exposure to survivable levels of hostile microbes.

2. ("Old Friends") Your immune system is complex and its ideal tuning is reliant on normal exposure to benign, commensal, or symbiotic microbes which help it calibrate or even serve as outsourced components.

> Throw on a brace for support, though, and suddenly the high-aspect ratio concept becomes plausible.

So, high aspect ratio is desired, but needs support... why not extend the trusses for a biplane design?

Not an aeronautical engineer, but from my armchair seems like high-aspect ratio and support are both gained by using a more familiar technology (I've seen pictures of real biplanes flying, have not yet seen a truss-braced like this concept in the air).

No, not by asking for an email address. By not asking for the email address until after the user has invested time and energy into things.

That's pure psychological manipulation, and is harmful.
This is outright false. I have used ChatGPT many times over the last couple months and I have caught it give me un-working code, unfinished code, and terribly buggy code. When you point this out it will say Oh sorry about that here is an updated version, and I've caught it give another bug, and another after that. If you are telling me the quality of code that ChatGPT gives you is high then it pains me to say but you must not provide high quality code yourself.

First, it's worth noting the code in the blog post is not "production code," but rather one-off or periodically used scripts for accelerating manual business processes, with results that are easy to manually check.

But in regards to production code, I agree. When code is committed to a codebase, a human should review it. Assuming you trust your review process, it shouldn't matter whether the code submitted for review was written by a human or a language model. If it does make a difference, then your review process is already broken. It should catch bad code regardless of whether it was created by human or machine.

It's still worth knowing the source of commits, but only for context in understanding how it was generated. You know humans are likely to make certain classes of error, and you can learn to watch out for the blind spots of your teammates, just like you can learn the idiosyncrasies and weak points of GPT generated code.

Personally, I don't think we're quite at "ask GPT to commit directly to the repo," but we're getting close. The constant refrain of "try GPT-4" has become a trope, but the difference is immediately
noticeable. Whereas GPT-3.5 will make a mistake or two in every 50 line file, GPT-4 is capable of producing fully correct code that you can immediately run successfully. At the moment it works best for isolated prompts like "create a component to do X," or "write a script to do Y," but if you can provide it with the interface to call an external function, then suddenly that isolated code is just another part of an existing system.

As tooling improves for working collaboratively with large language models and providing them with realtime contextual feedback of code correctness (especially for statically analyzeble or type-checked languages), they will become increasingly indispensable to the workflow of productive developers. If you haven't used co-pilot yet, I encourage you to try it for at least a month. You'll develop an intuition for what it's capable of and will eventually wonder how you ever coded without it. Also make sure to try prompting GPT-4 to create functions, components or scripts. The results are truly surprising and exciting.
Wasn’t ESG score for BP surprisingly high?
Automation helps, but there are plenty of jobs requiring physical labor. They’re often low paid from a worker’s perspective and very pricey from a retail customer’s perspective. Consider child care. Often this isn’t about middlemen taking profits, but rather because the work doesn’t scale and people expect pay similar to industries that do scale.

Office work often is in industries that scale very well and they can afford to be less efficient.

"Noncommercial art" is not a thing in the eyes of the law. Even if you don't intend to make money the law still considers the work itself to be commercial. That's why CC-BY-NC has to have a special "filesharing is non-commercial" statement in it, because people have made successful legal arguments that it is.

You're probably thinking of "not charging a fee to use", which is a subset of all the ways you can monetize a creative work. You can still make money off of AudioCraft by just hosting it with banner ads next to the output. Even a "no monetization" clause[0] would be less onerous than "noncommercial use only", because it'd at least be legal to use AudioCraft for things like background music in offices.

Congrats! This is a desperately needed product. I'm really curious as to how you onboarded the 5k providers that you have now. That is a sizable number, and in NYC, the market most saturated by Zocdoc, whom you've identified as your only real competitor (who don't currently provide price predictions). I'm sure any provider familiar with ZD will have had their eye caught by "Only pay a patient booking fee when a patient books through Certainly and shows up."

However, 1.1.1.1 is delivered across Cloudflare’s entire network that today spans 180 cities. We publish the geolocation information of the IPs that we query from. That allows any network with less density than we have to properly return DNS-targeted results.

I disagree.

Exactly this. I think people are willingly blind. It can be hard, because you don't see what others are claiming they're commonly victims of. You don't want to admit that something bad is happening right under your nose and worse, that you've been unable to see it! I'll admit, when I was younger I also believed the problems weren't as large as they are. Not gay, but did experience far more racism than I expected (experiences in sibling comment). Truth is that the world is complex and that your single experience is nowhere near enough to make good judgements about how likely events are. There's far more going on than what we see, and we're sold on simplicity and that if we don't see it that it doesn't exist despite overwhelming evidence.
