he definitely isn't the first one to use the term in that capacity. it's frequently used by cv researchers in relation to super resolution (e.g. just search "face hallucination" on google scholar)

see the abstract of this paper for example Face hallucination using Bayesian global estimation and local basis selection

> ...hallucinating the high-resolution detail of a low-resolution input face image.

while that's a different domain than text, in a quick search, the oldest reference i found to "hallucination" using vector-based word representations is from 1996 (there could easily be older references, i just didn't bother searching further):

> The fixed-length vector is especially useful for parallel and hardware systems, but this method can sometimes hallucinate words that don't actually appear in the original document.

George Boole (Who we get Boolean from), had a road to Damascus experience as a teenager and later wrote "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought" where we get our 0s and 1s from, and truth operations, largely to prove God is Good.

The concept of 0 and 1, absolute truth and false, was born from his spiritual views.

Democracy is a bit different. Hopefully the goal is a democratic government isn't to be intelligent but is to just make people's lives good (better?). In theory if people find their lives are getting worse then they can replace the government. But, sure, there are many examples of it not working. Such has the government making gas prices low because the people want that when its polluting the planet that the people live on.
KDE is a community of developers that makes various software products, including Krita - that's why there's a KDE account involved here, since KDE makes Krita :-)

Many of those software projects available even for commercial systems like Windows and Mac OS, and of course the various free software environments. Those users are all equally important, so there's no conflict there.
This debris is probably actually pretty cheap to remove by chance.

The orbit it is in is perfectly between geostationary and the disposal orbit. That means any other satellite who is travelling from one orbit to the other can stop off on-route for no fuel or time cost.

'grabbing' a satellite is fairly easy too. Even a fridge magnet would be enough to grab this satellite - since even tiny forces over many hours are enough in space.

I therefore suspect that it would be possible to complete this disposal with a satellite already on orbit - ie. not specially designed for the purpose, and using very little additional fuel - perhaps some operational satellites even have enough extra in reserve.

Does having talent mean you should work hard to do justice to it?
I have seen many people who are extremely talented and hence, face undue pressure to work hard and do justice to their talent. The way society looks at them is that since you are talented, it is your moral obligation to work hard and achieve success in your life.

Do you think this is justifiable? I guess an individual should not judged if they want to live a normal life, despite being immensely talented.

For the same reason that in the winter the weather people tell you the temperature, but then are sure to include the windchill factor (which makes it sound worse). In the summer they tell you the temperature and be sure to include the "real feel", which includes the heat index and makes it sound worse. Arguably, in the winter there's still a heat index and in the summer a wind chill, but that would make the news sound good, and mess up the whole strategy.

Bad news sells. Mostly it's totally made up BS. Global warming is another made up tragedy to distract us from real issues like wars, poverty, wealth disparity, care for the elderly and mentally ill, etc.

This is what always happens, because it's not the same people/teams/companies filling the bags and building the conveyor belts, and because it's easier that way.

Another reason is that people are reluctant to give away any sort of convenience or vanity (a few nicer pixels in their website design) just for saving someone else's resources (bandwith/data/latency of server & and user). For the same reason people are driving SUVs in cities - it's a horrible misfit, but makes them feel good about very marginal benefits.
The people I'm less attracted to connect with are religious people, I actually have to force myselft to overlook the religiosity of my mother to live in harmony with her, but it does require effort I rather not do with anybody else.

Calendar stuff gets grotty quick, we're holding a huge set of conventions and expectations so deep that we have trouble articulating them. We know what we expect from a calendar: we can see when they fail; but its difficult to visualize or explain what they should be doing instead.

The general rule of thumb for helping people do periodic jobs reliably is to have the job be frequent enough you can't forget, on never have to do it. Too infrequent, and you forget what to do.

UTC isn’t a mystery. There are various kinds of UT, depending on what corrections are applied to the raw observations: UT0, UT1, UT2. UT1 is the standard version of mean solar time, though GMT (when it was still a thing) used to be more like UT2. UTC is named according to the same scheme: Universal Time with a suffix denoting which kind of UT.

I think the problem is that CRDTs don't solve the text editing problem as far as I know. They can solve a constrained version of it and they have to be sorta mixed up with other algorithms and approaches.

A large portion of the US populace wants to maintain/increase fossil fuel usage just to stick it to their perceived enemies. Also not hopeful.
> Two main factors are at play in driving temperatures to such extremes: their inexorable increase from burning fossil fuels and an El Niño event that is shaping up to be a strong one.

It would be quite educational to attribute in more detail the impact of these two factors. The degree of "El Nino" influence is presumably known, and if its strength is not related with global warming in complicated and unknown ways it would be good to overlay it as a distinct effect.

Being clear about what is happening and why (to the extend that it is known and understood) is important, on at least two counts:

There is already a segment of the population that drifts into panic and depression as a result of all the viral social media climate change echo chambers. Panic is not the way to address our sustainability challenges that are deep-seated and systemic. The flip side of short-term focused panic is switching off into apathy, or even cry-wolf type incredulity - if a few years down the line these extremes are temporarily subdued.

The other segment of the population that can be affected by a clear and well founded explanation of what is happening are those sitting on the fence about climate change or feeling skeptical for legitimate reasons. Obviously nothing will convince nut-cases or deeply compromised individuals that have large personal stake in the status-quo (and they are many).
The term the article uses is more accurate. A hallucination can be entirely disjoint from the context it appears in. Confabulation is a confident belief in an erroneous recall that one will attempt to defend and rationalize. That's exactly what's happening with an LLM. They choose the wrong token or series of tokens, essentially failing to remember correctly, and then present it confidently and make rationalizations about why it's correct.
I remember reading about the worker homes and tombs, and I know that skeletal records also showed the workers had much muscular strain. So, it's impossible to deny that there were skilled laborers working on the pyramids, but just because some of the laborers were proven to be skilled and not slaves, doesn't mean slaves weren't used.

The scale doesn't seem right to me. I still can't fathom how that much could be done without using slave labor. If I remember correctly, they layed a block like every 6 minutes for 20+ years.

Do you know how many tombs of laborers were found, or where I could find more aobut that information? I'm very novice when it comes to Egypt
Time is a finite commodity with opportunity-cost and we choose to spend our time in someone else's company because we derive benefit, educational, political or even emotional.
I can see such exchanges as more or less subtle but not devoid of bidirectional benefits conferred. Indeed when it's converted all in one direction, its reason enough to decommission that friendship.
I struggle to envision a friendship that is absent of beneficial exchange or as you put it, non transactional. Can you describe the qualities ofsuch non transactional relationships in which no benefits are exchanged for your time?

Joking aside, we should be happy for any improvement that can be obtained. A single second saved for a single connection on its own is insignificant, but dozens or hundreds of connections for a single user, multiplied by the thousands or possibly millions of users, that's a huge amount of time saved.
My point is, it's not a comparison at all. Intelligence is a trait, you either have it or not. We also use the same word for "how smart you are", but that measurement doesn't change anything about AI being intelligent or not. It can be dumb, but intelligent.

It's common in restricted environments. Egress for 80/443 allowed and DNS must use local recursive DNS servers. Those internal DNS servers probably pass through a few SIEM and other security devices and are permitted out, usually to minimize data exfiltration. Though in those cases 80 and 443 are often using a MITM proxy as well for deep packet inspection. There are both commercial and open source MITM proxies. Fans of HTTP/3 and QUIC would not like most of the MITM proxies as they would negotiate a specific protocol with the destination server and it may not involve QUIC.

I have made a simple CLI utility[0] with this purpose in mind.

Paraphrasing hofsadter?

You realize Hofstadter is not delusional about LLMs at all. His view point is completely opposite of yours more logical and rational and he doesn't need to use chatGPT 4.

Hofstadter is not a normal person because he is extremely unbiased. chatGPT basically got him to do a 180 on everything he thought and talked about in every book he has written. He flipped, you subscribe to his viewpoints, and you haven't flipped.

Keep in mind he criticized early versions of gpt3 and gpt2. chatGPT changed the game.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/13/opinion/ai-chatgpt-consci...

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kAmgdEjq2eYQkB5PP/douglas-ho...

He literally said something along the lines of his core beliefs are collapsing. Paraphrasing. I kid you not. It's abnormal. It's very rare to find a person that can change his core beliefs. Extremely rare. Let's be frank. You are not that person. What will happen is you will reinterpret reality such that it fits your core beliefs and you won't know you're doing this. It's very predictable: Using chatGPT 4 will not revise your opinion on AI because you don't want to face the truth. chatGPT 3.5 is already enough to see how we crossed a certain line here you can't admit it... so your experience will be the same with gpt4.
This is very similar to Aristotle's views on friendship in Nichomachean Ethics.

He has a final category of 'true friend' that refer to someone who reflects part of your being back at you. Given that this is possible with another person he is able to resolve the question of "why should we behave morally?" by pointing out that every other human is potentially a true friend who may instantiate an aspect of you. In this case acting without considering the interests of others is acting against your own interests.
The increase in global climate energy initially called 'warming' means putting more energy into a titanic chaotic system.

When you do that, BOTH extremes become more extreme, not just 'warm' ones. Though hot temperatures are dangerous, it's not just about heat spikes, it's about the consequences of the increased energy available to the chaotic system.

This energy can just as easily be expressed in a brutal, dangerous cold snap, or an unreasonably huge storm. The 'non-believer' is so fundamentally wrong that it's impossible to discuss with them, and the global climate is not subject to their primitive understanding of what 'warm' is.
I was testing out something and ran into this issue yesterday as well. I created a cname to point to http://ip.jsontest.com/ so I could validate my DNS was working. For some reason I was getting the google 404 page.
So here's a scary thought: If these people, if not given shunts, are eloquent enough to appear normal to someone not interrogating all the details, I could easily see one raised on a diet of the right kind of rhetoric being able to go on a convincing-sounding rant about how spina bifida isn't really a disability and that it was morally wrong to want to surgically correct their condition.

And that that content is exactly the sort of thing that would make a successful viral TikTok video.

Much like how LLMs will gladly and emphatically inform you that they're sentient beings with real feelings if given the right leading questions.
> I want to be able to aggregate all SBOMs within my company, have a small tool that scans my machine and creates a SBOM for all Open Source tools I use (e.g. Firefox, VLC etc.), uploads that to my corporate registry.

> Bad news sells.

People often claim this, but I don't think it's true. I think news organisations on average underplay the threat from climate change.

What actually sells is confirming people's world view. Telling people "everything's fine, look at these silly scientists panicking over nothing" seems very popular with a large segment of the population.

Please consider an offline approach for those willing to take it on.

I can see the benefit of what you've outlined. I really want good representation of journals.

Yet, I'm likely to not start using netdata, because it seems to be 'always online' / dependent on something external. If things are bad enough where I'm looking at logs... maybe I don't have Internet access.

While we retain the data, we don't retain full control over the access to it. This is a pro for some, con for others.

Sure, in this situation, we can go look at the data directly, but that kind of nullifies the point of collection/presentation...

I dare say that most who have needs complicated enough to warrant log collection have auth infrastructure, tooling, or knowledge to manage
