Hungry Cat Nonogram [Google](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuesdayque...) [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hungry-cat-nonogram/id73774447...) was always my favorite of these as it had full-color puzzles.

It was also called "Hungry Cat Picross" until Nintendo trademarked "Picross" and went after everything branded with it. This actually caused me to learn about the nonograms as I had assumed the type of puzzle was always called picross.

Early versions of GPT would tell me about myself, but July of this year it was saying that it could not comment on a private individual. I'm not at all famous, but there's plenty of writing by and about me in the common training datasets.

So, I don't agree that there's insufficient data for it to remember a random person. This was obviously a conscious decision, probably in response to situations like this one last spring: https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-ai-made-up-sexual-ha...

IIRC courts have already ruled AI-generated works cannot have copyright. So there is already a legal distinction between a human and a model creating works.

I know it gets better than what I saw in general, but this was about three months of being in Finland and Iceland cumulatively (both times during fall). Figured that's the best most people can hope to see, at least without specifically going very far north at the right time of year for this specific purpose, and so the pictures just aren't representative of what you are likely to see while in these countries

Cops have created a climate and situations where they benefit from that style of training. Conducting no-knock raids and other paramilitary operations for nonviolent crimes is an unnecessary escalation.

Warrior training and being trained that everyone is an adversary with execution being the go to option isn't normal and shouldn't be ingrained in folks whose day-to-day is largely nonviolent encounters.

What I can at least advise here, as someone who is a developer, but, also used to writing a lot of “copy” for my company, is that you hire someone who is a professional copywriter and who can fully proofread your texts.

I'm speaking as a European, non-native English speaking/writing person: there is something that feels extremely “sketchy” when reading English written content that doesn't feel “native”-ish.

And the answer was yes. I do not know the exact system requirement of the current ChatGPT, but I am fairly confident

1) ChatGPT no network mode could fit in a half of a server rack, maybe way less.

2) You can fit half a server work on a spaceship that can go to Pluto.

My guess is it's more like 1 server worth. Google tells me GPT3 was 1TB which is a very small laptop.
> Authenticity didn't start to become a thing people cared about until about the early 1990s…

In your lifetime, but…

Another common theme in the philosophy of both Dostoevsky and Descartes is the idea of authenticity. Dostoevsky believed that people must live authentically, in accordance with their true selves, and that this is essential for their happiness and well-being. Descartes, on the other hand, argued that the path to knowledge and certainty begins with the rejection of all previous beliefs and the adoption of a completely new and authentic perspective.¹

And of course, the U.S. counterculture movement of the 1960s was deeply preoccupied with authenticity:

You note three themes underlying the American hippie experience: authenticity, individualism and community. Why did these concepts stand out, and what did they mean in the context of the hippie/counterculture movement? / W.R.: Although hippies often disagreed about beliefs and practices, they shared a desire to be authentic. Members of the counterculture condemned mainstream society for being conformist, rule-driven and uptight. Authenticity meant “doing your own thing.” Because freaks distrusted both society and government, individual decisions were applauded as the most authentic.²

It does kind of paint a disturbing picture of the mindset of the shooters when so many shots are fired at a single target sitting a few feet in front of you.

If they were military, would this not be considered a huge breach of protocol and training and liable for discipline? Wasting that much time and ammo on a target that was neutralized with a few shots? That really reflects poorly on your ability to assess and react to this kind of situation.

> And yet it persists.

That's a great point, and I would add that when Google launched Google Groups, there was this widespread concern that Google would abuse it to kill Usenet and force users to switch to its own walled garden.

Since then, Google already tried and failed to launch a couple of social networks, but Usenet is still around.
This is the exact same path Autodesk took.

They added some generative design nd simulation features to fusion360, initially you could choose of it would be calculated locally on your machine or in the cloud. If in the cloud you had to buy "cloud credits". Over time the local computer option went away and everything cost cloud credits. About that time everyone bailed.

They did the same thing with Eagle.

I took a stab at making something[1] like guidance - I'm not sure exactly how guidance does it (and I'm also really curious how it would work with chat api's) but here's how my solution works.

Each expression becomes a new inference request, so it's not a single inference pass. Because each subsequent pass includes the previously inferenced text, the LLM ends up doing a lot of prefill and less decode. You only decode as much as you actually inference, the repeated passes only end up costing more in prefill (which tend to be much faster tok/s).

To work with chat tuned instruction models, you can basically still treat it as a completion model. I provide the previously completed inference text as a partially completed assistant response, e.g. with llama 2 it goes after 
. You can add a bit of instruction for each inference expression which gets added to the 
. This approach lets you start off the inference with `{ "someField": "` for example to guarantee (at least the start of) a json response and allow you to add a little bit of instruction or context just for that field.

I didn't even try with openai api's since afaict you can't provide a partial assistant response for it to continue from. Even if you were to request a single token at a time and use logit_bias for biased sampling, I don't see how you can get it to continue a partially completed inference.

It shouldn't. Look into the vast majority of these complaints and you'll feel reassured.

eg this -- they're trying to, per their site, get lots of credentials from Stripe's other customers. It's pretty obvious why Stripe is saying no, and extremely reasonable to limit things like that to established companies.

Quoting myself from 2 months ago:

The last time I paid attention to one of these complaints, someone was using stripe to sell cellphone accessories (and yes, at least on my Stripe application, they asked what I was selling.)

After selling accessories for a while, he then used it to sell a minivan, and had a tantrum when Stripe -- quite reasonably -- said this flags all the flags, and Stripe was going to hold onto the money until they were sure things were kosher.

Getting dollars before multiple months post transaction basically leaves someone holding a bag of risk, and if you act shady AF, you can't be surprised if Stripe declines to hold that bag of risk for you.

The ThinkPad X1 line is of great quality. I've been using it with Linux for the past 8 years and never really had any issues.

It should be possible to figure out what high-inclination object was in the sky at the right time of day (it needs to reflect sunlight) on September 13th as the video description says it was shot on

Edit: or based on the fireball timing, mister detective here just realised. The comments even say "Is it possible that it was on 12.09.2023 at 22:35? We were in Höfn watching the northern lights when we saw it" and a reply confirms it

> Late to this comment thread, but Amazon actually excels at this type of long term measurement

It's funny-- Amazon is the exact case I'm thinking of. I went from spending high five figures to a few hundred, and I'm seeking to eliminate that. The exact impact of these kinds of data-driven management practices has lead me to expending a whole lot of work to figure out how to give Costco, Target, and Walmart my business instead.

My complaints:

- Cutting of customer service. I didn't use customer service often, but it was always exemplary There's something wrong with my account where if I pay with points from my Amazon Visa for a book, that the book gets yoinked away out of my account a couple of days later with a "payment failed" message. The points are still deducted. I spent a few hours with customer support twice on this issue, and each time the specific book that this happened to was fixed, but the problem remains. It's clearly a backend problem, but Amazon thinks it's a better move to keep a high value customer on hold while people not empowered to fix anything futz around.

- I (believe that I) was briefly in an experiment with an alternate "buy it now" order flow that would pretty reliably charge me for 2 of whatever item I was seeking to buy. Support wasn't helpful. I have video.

- Overall devolution of the retail marketplace into a flea market full of counterfeit, dubious goods.

- Aggressive attempts to upsell me back into the Prime ecosystem (e.g. the whole "Iliad flow" thing).

I'm sure all of these business decisions and changes looked great on initial measurements, but they're traps later. Worse, they turn people like me into people that were formerly Amazon evangelists to people who work to help friends use other marketplaces.

Even a year isn't sufficient time: none of these things pissed me off within a year of the change. And they're pretty difficult to capture, because they're hopelessly confounded with other changes in the market and consumer sentiment and Amazon doesn't roll things out slowly enough have a truly different contingent experiencing a different business.

Heck, maybe even all the interactions with me look positive on your metrics, depending on how you weigh downstream effects in your model: a previously valuable customer has "payment problems", begins consuming excessive support resources, then leaves.
I'm guessing you're one of those people who don't consider destruction of property as a violent act?

You see 'protestors' smashing and burning things, but that's 'not real violence'. It only becomes violent when the police try to stop it, right?
Ok. You can give away your code now so it can be “preserved” and go into the public domain in 70 years. I prefer to get paid instead since freely available code is not going to be as profitable.
Your website describes a system where you’re making payments into Stripe through your system (“We take an extra 1.5% if the customer's information is already saved through our system.”) and one that will “follow up with them to assure you that they will keep coming back and you get to keep all profit”.

What you’re describing isn’t how Stripe Connect is usually used. Who submits the payment details to Stripe, the purchaser or you?
What if they enforced UN law?

Copyright is, and should be, a protection from unauthorized reproduction. Extending it to protect the abstract ideas would be a disaster. And extending it to control stylistic learning would be even worse.

None of the industries I listed are operating in a free market, so I am not sure why you brought that concept up as a scapegoat.

If you actually had experience living or working in Manhattan, you’d see that it has the infrastructure to enable density - namely, the country’s most intricate and heavily-used subway and transit system, by a mile. (17x the ridership compared to the next largest, Chicago.) But yeah, let’s build density without discussing how we rebuild cities with transit and how we pay for this multi-decade endeavor that will conservatively cost tens of billions per city. It’s almost like the half-baked “solution” of deregulation doesn’t actually make sense once you analyze it for five minutes, oh and it’s the preferred, and only, policy pushed hard by developers. Funny how that works.
