> Patients vs. the health establishment. Us vs. them.

Well, yeah; that's the point of the article. That doctors are publicly displaying this attitude on social media, and it's becoming more and more normalized.

I've seen it. I've been victim to it. It's a real thing, causing real harm, and it's not talked about enough.

There are systemic reasons for this, which are worth addressing and exploring, but don't need to be addressed in every article that touches on the subject.

> this article is just trying to fuel hatred.

I don't think that's a fair assessment. This is a real and widespread culture problem. You can see it for yourself, if you choose to.

Casting doubt that this problem exists, while smearing (sourced and verified) pieces that address it as a "hit piece", is just sweeping a big problem under a very squishy rug.
I believe the issue here is that, as a user, I expect the system to "do no harm". Sure, once you give bleach as an ingredient then all bets are off (although a good system would filter it out), but it highlights the deeper issue that some foods could be bad for my health and the system is letting them through.

Unheated castor oil contains ricin, and even heated oil can cause contractions in pregnant women. Raw chicken can give you salmonella. A working recipe system should therefore never return "chicken sushi on a bed of vegetables with a touch of castor oil" without some SERIOUS warnings, but it's clear that this system may do so. Putting such a system in the hands of unsuspecting users is bad and they should feel bad.

I slightly complain a single time for the last few years, and jose directly chimes in with kind words immediately. You rock, honestly!

But on the topic: I think its a simple problem ultimately, the SF Api (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.m...) needs OAuth, which needs a redirect at some point, where I have no idea how to capture it from a livebook instance (easy in a phx app).

This is a reference lib in JS ( https://jsforce.github.io/ ) and there seems to be no maintained alternative on hex.pm unfortunately. So, from scratch it seems, somehow.

Additional insight: many big companies do use salesforce, and its internal tooling to produce reports/insights is rather limited, but there is a SQL-like language to do complicated stuff, but there is no way to execute a handwritten query in SF itself, except via API calls from outside. This... would be a perfect fit fro livebook! query SF + other databases to generate a report ad-hoc thats not easily possible right now without adding some heavyweight data warehouse connection!
I'm so over these Unreasonable titles
Agreed. It's quite a skill to steel-man another person's arguments and then proceed to answer from that point; it's very easy to go down the "you're not obviously smart enough to question my authority" which then leads to people being hurtful towards each other.

I'm very lucky that my best half is so emotionally-savvy that some of it has rubbed off on me. I just wish that civility could be taught from early ages; so much worldwide bitterness could be avoided.

> If you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?

This might be a bit of a silly take, but this is basically what my experience with search engines sometimes is like.

I might spell something the wrong way, or try to describe what I'm looking for in ways that aren't entirely correct, or even attempt to solve the wrong problem, but end up with the correct results anyways.

A lot of it is due to human generated content, no doubt (like someone explaining that a person probably wants to install a different software package to achieve a desired result instead of using another incorrectly), but there's definitely something nice to be said about the algorithms ranking results for a given query, at least before financial incentives enter the picture.
I'm actually working on this area. I don't see any clear breakthroughs yet, but this is a very exciting area.

There is a lot that is not clearly understood about some of the emergent-style abilities of these models or where growth by scaling will hit a limit.

So looking into reasoning, what they can and can't do, and what tools/designs, can provide benefits has great potential to inform the next generation of models.

I agree it’s unlikely, but that may tell you that the compiler can compile the two with similar performance, but won’t tell you whether the compiler will do so in your code.

If you want to be sure, you have to benchmark your production code with production data.

Look at the generated machine code may also help, but can be difficult, as the generated code may be different, but of similar performance, and judging whether two instruction sequences have similar performance is hard on modern hardware, with its out-of-order executing, multiple layers of caches, etc.
Is there some reference or explanation on why the model it is non deterministic at temperature 0?
That'll do it! I wonder how many retries it averages, the images list "tokens", but it's a bit cryptic to work out how to translate that to attempts?

Just sanitize the input and remove products belonging to categories that aren't edible.

I’m in MA where almost everyone is required to run two plates by law.

Even with the law, plenty of enthusiasts here don’t run a front plate except while getting the annual safety inspection done.
The API layer receives fairly regular updates, but the model is (as I understand it) mostly static.

Within GPT there is an intentional randomness element called temperature which is how you get different answers each time.

For reasons, yes, but not the nefarious ones you seem to imply. They tried multiple times in the past and created lot of problems for other services as a side effect. Also, a large portion of the Russian population and military use telegram for communication.
It's not. The imperial system was introduced after the secession, differs on a few key reference values, and has a ~20% larger pint.
Ambitions are mostly defined by external stimuli, that is what does a society value? Value not in terms of the actual praise, but what are the things they keep talking about.

If we look at it from a narrow definition of tech, we realize there aren't many ambitious individual players. The premise becomes hard to justify if we were to include so many teenagers on insta/tiktok/twitch getting a lot of following and making content individually (where in the past it take a full crew to make such stuff) and newer creators wanting to join that club.

I think many people are still ambitious. Just that (for quite a few people) their ambition is no longer to work 10 years to build an everlasting company, or do original research to get themselves a nobel, but just to gain the fame and following that comes with social media. In an abstract sense, for a select set, the end goal of ambition was the adulation and fame you got after doing your thing well. Of course, there is another set where ambition is to build a lasting thing and they continue to work towards that. Just that former set outnumbers the latter easily, and it's never easier for that set to achieve their goal.

Nah, she wasn't fired due to keystroke "tech". She was fired due to performance issues that she attributes to mental health problems. Burnout is the first thing that comes to mind that might prevent people from performing as well as they should.
For a second I thought this was about a GPT based agent building a company that turned into a Unicorn.
There are quite a few parking garages I've seen that have some sort of obstruction on a certain wall height (pipes, part of the next level, etc). In those cases backing up can be dangerous as drivers might not notice those obstructions with car sensors/camera being located much lower, thus causing collision damaging the car and the garage. Parking forward is safer because there is more visibility and front part of the car is typically lower than rear.
It's just the usual issue with any climate change mitigation work that doesn't involve smugly telling people how to live, the solution needs to be perfect and anything less than that is just greenwashing.

Personally, I get the impression entry-level fitness bands have reached a natural limit in terms of the data they collect, whereby the data is sufficient in scope and accuracy for the average person (trying to lose weight, train for a 5k/10k etc). A device that covers this criteria is very low cost so big brands don't want to bother. You can pick up fitness bands on Amazon for less than £30 which work for most use cases.

On the other end, advanced fitness bands are somewhat converging on smartwatches in both their features (sleep tracking, GPS, music control and phone notifications, maps) and price point, because this is the only way to make something big brands consider worth selling.

Heck, I run over 150km a week, and I wear one of the cheapest Garmin watches available, and I know many people who run a decent amount (50 to 100+km per week) who are in the same situation. There's no major updates my watch needs.
Its incredible how few people appreciate this, or how hard it is to explain to people.

This is also why the quality of the rear tires is far more important - the fulcrum, or pivot, sees the most stress!

> I've been told that in the army (UK) its illegal to park forwards. They had so many accidents that they banned it.

I've parked in numerous UK army bases over the years (as a civilian) and have never been aware of this. There might be something specific for soldiers whose specific trade is driving but not in general car parks. Some younger soldiers join up without a license and pass a normal civilian driving test as part of their career progression (taught by civilian driving instructors IIRC).
It seems impossible that a blockchain would provide an useful amount of service when compared to a Raspberry Pi.

A smart contract is more or less the same idea as an AWS Lambda. But in AWS, you trust AWS to compute on your behalf. In a blockchain, you don't. Trust is replaced by enormous amounts of redundancy where every node recomputes everything to make sure everything was done right. So there's no scaling. The capacity of a single node and a million nodes is the same.

Right now, the cost of storing 1KB of data on ETH seems to be about $17. At the same price you can have a 128GB SD card, which is 128 million times more storage. A Pi will cost you $35, and $5/year in electricity if running 24/7 at full power.

Blockchains are ridiculously non-competitive.

I think he’s being more specific about the kinship between aussies and those in the lower mainland. I live in Vancouver, and I know exactly what this guys talking about when it comes to Aussies— drive up to Whistler (a nearby ski/snowboard/party town in the mountains) and you’ll be amazed at how many Australian accents you hear. It’s like Little Melbourne up there, my brother used to work the bars/restaurant scene up there, more than half of his coworkers at multiple jobs he had up there were aussies.

I don’t expect that Australians hold a bond with Canada at large, I can’t very well imagine any of the Aussies I’ve met having a fond place in their hearts for Calgary or even the rest of Canada (read: Toronto, Montreal).

Look at the power draw of the human brains versus any of the hardware running these models. It’s an order of magnitude difference. Often multiple orders of magnitude.

Part of the reason is a massive focus on GPUs and digital techniques. Some things like math operations are quite fast and accurate to do in a discrete sense when that matters.

The human brain is not discrete though. Nor is it really fully analog.

Specialized hardware beyond GPUs for parallel digital calculations will likely be needed to implement architectures that get actually closer to human levels of intelligence.
The vast majority of people don't turn around around when they reverse. They just rely on their mirrors.

I'm a little confused what Russia has to gain from this. My impression was previously that Russia was somewhat of a wild west when it came to piracy and internet restrictions.

To make things weirder, the article claims that only mobile networks are affected. I wonder why that is. Is this just the decisions of a handful of telcos and it's being reported as a state-imposed restriction?

Edit: also in my opinion, "blocking at the protocol level" is a bit misleading since they can't actually see the packet contents. Wireguard for example is just UDP packets. They have to infer from other patterns that the traffic is Wireguard and drop packets that meet those criteria.

Ask HN: Where to discuss programming and software architecture?
I find it really useful to learn about programming by discussing code examples.
