It's not a proof. It's one study. Which does back up your point in a way, given how often we tend to treat a single study as truth when it makes news.

I also had that thought, but if you actually read the study it's very upfront that it doesn't distinguish if HRT is the cause of the increased association with dementia, or the effect of whatever got them prescribed HRT (eg, memory loss) in the first place meant they already have the enhanced risk. So it's not yet clear it applies.

The foundational models most coding models are built on May have comments and code in them. They’re almost certainly built on a number of legal violations, including copyright infringement. I have details in “Proving Wrongdoing” section here:

I’ve also seen GPT spit out proprietary content word for word that’s not licensed for commercial use that I’m aware of. They probably got it from web crawling without checking licenses.

What I want more than anything in this space right now are two models: all public domain books (eg Gutenberg); permissive code in at least Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, C, C++, and ASM’s. One layered on the other but released individually. We can keep using that to generate everything from synthetic data to code to revenue-producing deliverables. All with nearly zero, legal risk.

The solution is very easy for consumers looking for a real privacy solution:

Use a browser that is not made by an advertising company.

In other words, just drop chrome. It has never been easier to do, with Edge and Safari readily available on all major platforms and Firefox for those who prefer it, and of course the many other chromium forks that are around.

There is no reason to be dependent on chrome today. There was a few years where it was overly dominant and very hard to avoid for compatibility and performance reasons, but that is just not true today.

Personally I use Firefox on android and desktop and I don't miss chrome at all. I uninstalled (technically, disabled) it on mobile as Google widgets like to open links in it otherwise.

I have chrome on the desktop as I work in software so I need to test compatibility with it, but that's it.
Never tried it, but I read somewhere that BBEdit handles super large files really well.
Great idea, I would also regularly use this with a few tweaks:

1) Main one - Separate stories more clearly. Maybe slightly outdent, enlarge, or bold the title, or add a little more space between stories so they don't all run together.

2) Some articles don't have content available for no apparent reason (Deciphering Mary Stuart’s lost letters from 1578-1584)

3) Filters would be nice (articles >rating, comment count, etc)

4) Collect a few more pages of articles instead of just one

I felt like that meme "they had us in the first half, not gonna lie" on reading this comment.

I initially thought, on reading your first sentence, that you are trying to be nice/kind to others by paying for them, but then the rest of the comment gave the opposite impression, making it sound like you're infantilising the other person/trying to avoid an unpleasant feeling on your part by pushing it onto someone else.

Yeah, I'll bet.

At first blush, I find this uselessly verbose. I get more out of just the headlines and I am already up to my eyeballs in plausible, zero-content boilerplate. I think our whole society has been since the 90s, frankly. Generally, filtering public comments through a language model reduces signal, papering over real humans' vital perspectives and misattributing to us bland cliche as above.

But congrats on getting something out the door! You have certainly built a tight little integration.
It was many years ago, but I recall seeing some kind of study with a considerably large n and it basically boiled down to male doctors marry secretaries, schoolteachers, and nurses and female doctors marry other doctors and CEOs. There is definitely some kind of sex-related factor controlling for how important partner income is viewed to be.

What I haven't seen is any data on same sex relationships. Are men as indifferent to a male partner's earning potential as they are to a female partner's? How about for women, do same sex attracted female doctors also prefer other female doctors, or do they pair with female nurses and secretaries?
The first few Chinese aircraft carriers were probably never intended to be fully combat effective and are mainly intended to develop an experienced cadre of naval aviators. The carriers lack catapults, which means they can't really launch tankers (or any heavy aircraft at all). US Navy carriers almost always have at least one tanker up while conducting flight operations. This makes a huge difference in safety because an aircraft that gets into any trouble has an option to conduct aerial refueling instead of having to rush a carrier landing, or divert to a distant land base. The next generation of Chinese carriers are expected to have catapults but those are technically challenging. I'm sure that this is a priority area for their spies.
Yes, exactly. It's a no brainer.
Orange is also fairly universal, something similar to naranja or portokáli. In English we say the word with a hard g but with a soft g as in German it sounds closer to naranja - oran-ja.

It’s interesting that latest Safari TP (r178) somehow crashes on macOS Ventura, with or without the patch, when reading HN comments on this specific article.

Is there a honeypot in a comment on this page? /paranoid
The first unstated assumption is that similar vectors are relevant documents, and for many use cases that's just not true. Cosine similarity != relevance. So if your pipeline pulls 2 or 4 or 12 document chunks into the LLM's context, and half or more of them aren't relevant, does this make the LLM's response more or less relevant?

The second unstated assumption is that the vector index can accurately identify the top K vectors by cosine similarity, and that's not true either. If you retrieve the top K vectors according to the vector index (instead of computing all the pairwise similarities in advance), that set of 10 vectors will be missing documents that have a higher cosine similarity than that of the K'th vector retrieved.

All of this means you'll need to retrieve a multiple of K vectors, figure out some way to re-rank them to exclude the irrelevant ones, and have your own ground truth to measure the index's precision and recall.
mm, no, not unless you're doing some LIKE-specific optimization (and even then, I think you'd want "positive%").

So like, at the end of all the decoders, the model gives you an output vector; you multiply this by your embeddings to get your token probabilities, then you sample from them to choose a token.

Instead of sampling, you could just look at the probabilities for the tokens "positive" and "negative" and return whichever of those two is highest.

"Part III. Put Users First; the Rest Will Follow

Like most companies, Google has a mission statement or "philosophy." Google's philosophy is divided into 10 points; each point is one sentence long. The first and most interesting is quoted in the title of this part of the book. Unlike most corporate mission statements, this phrase did not come about through long committee discussions: This statement is Larry Page's mantra. Early on, when people asked him about financing his projects, he always replied with something like, "Don't worry about it. If our users are satisfied, if we give them all they want and more, we'll be able to find some money.""

There are various theories about architectures that use a Dragon or Starliner to transfer astronauts to the respective HLS vehicle in low Earth orbit before then departing for the Moon.

There doesn't appear to be too much of a reason that shouldn't be possible, particularly since both HLS vehicles are meant to be able to perform orbital refueling, but the idea has oddly remained absent from official public documents.

My personal theory is that like with orbital fuel depots, the idea is being kept out of official public communications until the HLS vehicles are operational (and thus uncancellable), at which point the political will can be more easily gained to cancel SLS without risking another waste-of-life threatening to kill the entire human spaceflight program if it didn't directly buy him votes.
This is a false comparison. Being hacked by NSO isn’t an accident. There’s an agent involved here with clear intent to harm and significant monetary motives.

If in a car accident we knew one party intentionally caused the crash (and were paid for it handsomely), we’d hold them responsible, regardless what claims car companies make regarding safety.

As can be expected, we find that AI consistently chokes on lisp programs. Here is the description for number 8, John McCarthy's lisp program with a bunch of numerical conversion information in it:

> This file contains a collection of numerical facts and units conversions, as well as astronomical facts related to moving Mars to a more temperate location... The content is not particularly relevant to the current technology landscape or contemporary societal issues, as it seems to be more of a historical piece. It is not particularly innovative or groundbreaking, as it primarily provides basic numerical facts and conversions. The technical depth is moderate, as it provides detailed units conversions and constants. The clarity of the information is good for those familiar with Lisp, but may be less accessible to the general public. The content does not consider a diverse range of perspectives or voices, as it is focused on numerical facts and conversions. It does not appear to be research-backed or cite reputable sources. The impact of the discussed topic is minimal, as it primarily provides basic numerical facts and conversions. The timeliness of the content is unclear, as it does not specify when it was created. The engagement of the content is likely low, as it is a technical program rather than a piece of content that inspires discussion. The reliability of the source is uncertain, as it is a personal file created by John McCarthy. There is no self-contradiction in the content. The discussion quality is not applicable, as there are no comments.

Exactly! Ad companies literally pay psychologists to convince people to buy stuff they don't need. Everyone loves to say "those tricks don't work on me!", but the reality is that they absolutely do. You see an ad for Coke a thousand times, and you're at the store and thirsty, hey, there's a refrigerator full of Coke and I haven't had one in a while...

I'm certain a company could convince me to buy a new mechanical keyboard or nice mouse or some app I don't need but that looks pretty cool. That kind of targeting might just separate me from my money. On the other hand, no one's ever going to convince me to buy any brand of tampons.
