Reminds me of that one sci-fi short story posted on HN a few months ago, which I can't find right now, about the guy who let his brain get scanned and then it ended up being used for simulation thousands of times for decades. He ultimately ended up regretting that decision.
I don't have stats, but judging by the ambient discourse around inclusion and diversity at elite institutions, France is one such country.

Now, it's a bit of a weird situation because, officially, there are no "races" in France. There are no blacks, no whites, just people. But the government is working on tackling the terrible performance of schools in "priority areas" (read: impoverished neighborhoods and tows, which are "immigrant-heavy"). There's also been some dancing around the elite schools and their feeder prep-schools, which aren't very "representative" (read: "diverse" but without saying "race").
You always face the choice of figuring it out yourself or contacting an expert, which is not always convenient and I don’t always trust them, a good offer to start, help me figure out exactly what I need, buy with one click and help with the next steps, installation, support.

That always depends on sample size and the hardware you use.

I'm not sure if the ability to be a vagrant has really changed much. I think rather what has changed is the level of social enablement for people to wallow in there situation and avoid leaving their comfort zone.

Why would anyone go down the path of becoming a vagrant and eventually reintegrating if the alternative is to stay at home in relative comfort, be fed 3 meals a day, and be provided with electronics for video gaming?
If you don’t maintain your own means of making a living then your mode of living will end up owning you. This seems to happen every single time. I don’t think there’s ever been a single person who is a permanent dependent that didn’t ultimately end up as a subject or slave to the provider.

It's also worth questioning in which direction the causality flows.

If it's reasonable to expect diet and activity levels to have microbial effects, and it is reasonable to expect the psychopathology in question to have an effect on activity levels and diet; then whatever microbial differences you find between sufferers and non-sufferers could just as easily be the consequence as the cause of the pathology.
That's a reasonably skeptical take on the story so far.

I've heard it said that the Fleischmann-Pons debacle in 1989 was detrimental to the entire field of fusion research during the 90's because of the effect it had on public perception. Hopefully the same thing doesn't happen to superconductors if LK-99 turns out to be another highly-publicized dead end (especially after there was already a falsified superconductor paper earlier this year).

As far as we know, room-temperature superconductors are within the realm of possibility (and far more likely than cold fusion), so if LK-99 is a bust we shouldn't let cynicism kill any hope of finding the real deal.

>PoE operates at a pretty high voltage

No, it operates at ELV (extra-low voltage): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-low_voltage

The whole point of PoE, 48V PD USB-C, and similar tech is that they don't need to be UL listed. PoE is also electronically current limited unlike mains power so you can't pull 200A to start a motor nor can you start fires without a lot of effort. That's assuming you use a real PoE switch that negotiates power levels, not cheap passive injectors.

In the US, exceptions to copyright come across in two distinct bundles: first sale and fair use. They exist specifically because of the intersection between copyright law and two other principles of the US constitution:

- First sale: The Takings Clause prohibits government theft of private property without compensation. Because copyright owners are using a government-granted monopoly to enforce their rights, we have to bound those rights to avoid copyright owners being able to just come and take copies of books or music you've lawfully purchased.

- Fair use: The 1st Amendment prohibits government prohibitions on free speech. Because copyright owners are using a government-granted monopoly to enforce their rights, we have to bound those rights to avoid copyright owners being able to censor you.

If you hinge your argument on "I bought a copy", you're making a first sale argument.

Notably, first sale is limited to acts that do not create copies. This limit was established by the ReDigi case[0]. Copyright doesn't care about the total number of copies in circulation, it cares about the right to create more. So an AI training defense based on first sale grounds would fail because training unequivocally creates copies.

Fair use, on the contrary, does not care if you bought a copy of a work legally. It only cares about balancing your right to speech against the owners' right to a monopoly over theirs. And it has so far been far more resistant to creative industry attempts to limit exceptions to copyright - to the point where I would argue that "fair use" is an effective shorthand for any exception to copyright, including ones in countries that have no fair use doctrine and do not respect judicial precedent.

The courts won't care how the training comes about, just if the act of training an AI alone[1] would compete with licensing the images used in the training set data.

I'm still giving cf the benefit of the doubt, but I need more research.

I always found the funding of archive.is unknown. Who is behind it and why do they want this info. Why and how they can provide this for free is a big unknown to me.

I'm giving cf the benefit of the doubt against archive. At least I know cloudflare and this would be the first "doubt-moment"...

It's weird that others don't have this issue that much, I would have thought that CDN's would scream from everywhere for years already, if archive.is his statement is "complete".

Edit: cloudflare does not seem to block what's needed though.

> EDNS IP subsets can be used to better geolocate responses for services that use DNS-based load balancing. 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.
This is the thing with math and programming. The anti-math programmers are right: you don’t need much math to have a career as a programmer because lots of applications (e.g. web pages) don’t need much math.

However the more math you know, the more tools you have available to tackle problems and the more diverse the set of projects you can tackle are. You’ll spend less time reinventing the wheel and you don’t need to come up with shoddy heuristic solutions to problems because you can formally specify the problem and apply the right tool to solve it.

This is a weird comment.

Do you think that non commercial use simply doesn't exist or something?

Because non commercial use isn't some crazy concept. It is a well established one, that doesnt disclude literally everything.

Also, you are ignoring the idea that Facebook will almost certainly not sue anyone for using this for any reason, except possibly Google or Apple.

So if you aren't literally one of those companies you could probably just use it anyway, ignore the license completely, and have zero risk of being sued.

The article gives a great background on uncensored models, why they should exist and how to train/fine-tuned one.
From my experience, that knack is "just" such a love of the field that they are not only willing but compelled to lose themselves in the process. When you can sit for hours trying to figure out some damn bug or playing the same phrase over and over and over or editing your writing to within an inch of its life, you're going to become good at it. You probably won't be the best in the world--there is certainly a gap between Mozart and Salieri--but out of 100 people who have demonstrated brilliant success in the world, 99 of them aren't those preternatural geniuses. "Just" people for whom 10 hours a day of practice is as natural as breathing.

And yeah, tell those children they have passion, not talent. Praise their accomplishments as the outcome of exercising their joy, instead of a passive outgrowth of their innate ability.

What are you talking about? That doesn't fix anything. It'd have been closer to the truth (and physically easier) to update it to say, "Codecov is not Open Source".

"Open Source" and "open-source"[1] are not two different things. You're just rearranging the deck chairs. Using the latter form doesn't soften the transgression.

In an earlier comment[2], you insisted "Our goal is not to argue about proper nouns". Yet... here you are. Why?

There are different kinds of prompt improvements - some have more to do with asking a good question, that will always be relevant. Others - like adding "let's think this carefully in a step by step way to make sure that the answer is correct" - aren't specific to your topic of conversation with the LLM but have been demonstrated to improve results in many cases. That's the part that might go away as models improve.

Good start. Of course everyone will have differences in what should be generally emphasized, I would add my PR sessions also look for sane logic and accurate modeling. In very simple terms, sane logic being: are control structures called at the right time, accurate modeling being: how well does it match ideas.

I see perfectly well what the fuss is about. I am simply trying to elucidate that eliminating health insurance companies from the chain is not the panacea that many people think it is, which is due to people not being able to afford the services they want/need, and hence being subject to a mechanism of cost sharing not unlike taxes.

In order of descending profit margins in the healthcare chain, you have:

Pharmaceutical companies, medical software companies, medical hardware companies, hospital companies, nursing home companies, doctor companies, individual doctors, nurses/other staff, pharmacists, health insurance companies, and pharmacies.

Somewhere in there is also costs due to liability due to tort laws, probably reflected in liability insurance companies. But let us say you got rid of the health insurance companies, who have medical loss ratios of 80% to 90%. Which means you are still left with quite a bit of the current system's costs.
From the studies I've seen, gluten doesn't really provide much sustenance to the microbiome and it tends to leak through the gut.
ESG is fairly obviously used to whitewash companies whose main product goes against ESG principles. It's a bunch of irrelevant window-dressing compared to the core concern of what a company is selling yet somehow that never makes it into the ESG metric.

Ex, Tesla has a terrible ESG scores, and Philip Morris has great ones. Is that because PM's diverse board actually outweighs giving people cancer? No, it's just that ESG was designed explicitly to allow companies to hand-wave away the core issue that they are selling bad things.

Why not publicly? But yes: my username@stripe.com. You mention something about reducing chargebacks, was your chargeback rate high for a particular reason? If so, you know we can't support businesses with excessively high chargeback rates. If you exceed the chargeback thresholds set by card networks, they can place you in a "dispute monitoring program" and the fines imposed on businesses can be very high.
I'm not very familiar with the German system, but I'd argue in France it's different. Yes, you need to go to a "general" high-school to hope to get into a prep-school. But no-one forces you to go to a technical or professional one. Teachers may recommend it, but the choice is with the pupil and the family.

Where it does get selective is at the prep-school level. But AFAIK this is based on the high-school grades, and it would seem that being very good in a "bad" high-school nets you better chances of being picked than being average in an "elite" high-school.
My impression (as an American abroad with no longer any dog in the partisan political fight) is that The Onion has come to feature a lot more (and a lot more acrid) political satire than in the late 1990s or early 2000s. That would only be expected, because even real newspapers have found that increasing coverage of hot-button politics or other culture wars can boost ad impressions.
Okay, but using unsafe for FFI is entirely different than the claim that you can only achieve performance optimizations through "dereferencing pointers without anything extra running." The use of unsafe for FFI is unavoidable for obvious reasons.
It's really not. The gut contains most of the immune system, and is most of the surface area in contact with the outside. The microbiome controls how much contact the immune system has with the gut lumen (intestinal permeability) and the chemical products it has to neutralize (like LPS). Through cytokines or movement through the lymphatic system, immune cells in the gut set the tone for the immune system systemically.

When you consider how many diseases are related to a dysfunctional immune system, "most" isn't really an exaggeration. It's especially not an exaggeration if you weight diseases by how common they are.
"When wrapped properly" is a lot more likely to happen in Rust because idiomatic Rust involves things like proper error handling and returning Result for fallible operations. I use libraries that have gobs of unsafe all the time. Wgpu is basically an unsafe code factory because it glues Rust to C and C++ but all of its unsafe code returns Options and Results because Rust programmers get them all drilled into them by the community and all the learning resources said community provides.
I love that we worry about AI maximizing the wrong objective function and killing us all as a result, when our own economic system has been doing that for centuries by maximizing profit over human life

I am still waiting for the "AI revolution" to take over these "pointless" jobs and for Universal Basic Income (UBI) to become necessary. With the current state of AI, I feel accounting and most of the finance sector can be largely automated. 2-3 work days can become the norm where humans double check the work output from AI and sign off for correctness. The rest of the week can be used for personal time/investing in other areas/family time.

Feels like we have never achieved that. Even some companies are reverting back to pre-pandemic and going back to 5 day work weeks and returning back to the office for no good reason other than "CuLtUrE"

Yup, exactly. That's what I said about emo in another comment. Emo/sadboy/sadgirl are the same word from different eras.

> I’d say I listen to a lot of sadboy rock that is decidedly not emo as it doesn’t share much musically or lyrically with emo / emo-punk. Then you get your sadboy / sadgirl pop / hip hop, etc. too

Yup, and in another era, those would have been lumped with emo.
> Most people do not have a birds eye view that lets them see all the problem spaces and all the solutions. Marketing is increasing the likelihood you are aware there is a solution out there, and sales is the part where you become convinced the solution offered is the right one.

Coca-Cola spends ~4 billion dollars a year on marketing. Pepsi spends ~3 billion. Soda makes you fat and unhealthy. This is not solving any problem, only causing them.

The incentives for marketing and sales also aren't really aligned with what is actually best for the consumer. If you wanted them to be aligned with what the consumer wanted, then you as the consumer would be the one paying the marketing company, and they would compete to be the best at finding you solutions to your problems.

This is kind of what Google Search did before they really monetized their search. You paid them with your attention and they helped you find solutions to your problems. Now companies pay them to be brought to your attention, which is why Google Search sucks now.
