I personally spent many hours on one image starting with 3D printing armor, photographing it on my wife, and using that image as a base for ControlNet + Stable Diffusion to replace the armor, and then compositing it back in.

> We do have 3 hatchet throwing bars currently and a new brewpub every week.

Im seriously not getting the financial metrics of these axe throwing bars. Insurance liability of throwing sharp chunks of metal must be stupid high, and really, how many people are actually interested in this?

There's 2 that popped up locally here. I just dont get it.

Now, alcohol... that's another story. Decent beer is easy to brew, and has good markups. And having a pub is basically printing money. If you have a good location, it's a moneyprinter. At least the metrics for these make sense.

And, well, alcohol does better when the economy is worse. People can drink their sorrows away, for a time.

There is no blanket answer. The real determinant is whether your particular business unit/silo/group is a profit center, how well your department is directly enabling the company's business model, etc.

The only tried and true way to achieve job security is to understand fundamentally how your firm makes its money and to make sure you're an important part of that value driver chain.

Already, police do this exact shakedown on cities. There are numerous incidents (anecdotal) of US police threatening city officials to reduce enforcement during election cycles, demanding increases in police force budget.

Broadly, the US needs to eliminate corruption. There are many broken feedback loops right now from the grand (lobbying and campaign finance) to the minuscule (niche price fixing, bribery, police-ran protection rackets), all compounding unfavorably, all seemingly booming. It's astonishing the degree to which the public tolerates such forms of ineptitude and subversion – it has a direct impact on everyone's bottom line.

Ask HN: How to use complex prompt formats in LlamaIndex?
I'm currently trying to work with the chat engine in LlamaIndex using CondenseQuestionChatEngine and I'm having some issues regarding the format of the prompts and initiating a chat. Specifically, the current implementation doesn't seem to support the complex format used by OpenAI's Chat Completions API
The OpenAI API takes a list of messages as input, each with a role (either 'system', 'user', or 'assistant') and content (the text of the message). For example:
json
{
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
}
However, in the chat engine configuration, I define the custom_prompt for CondenseQuestionChatEngine.from_defaults, it doesn't seem to support this context string format.
custom_prompt = PromptTemplate("""\
You are a helpful form filling assistant please take user responses for each one of the fields below:
1. Applicant’s full name:
2. Date of birth:
3. Contact number:
4. Email address:
5. Home address:
""")
python
chat_engine = CondenseQuestionChatEngine.from_defaults(
query_engine=query_engine,
condense_question_prompt=custom_prompt,
chat_history=custom_chat_history,
verbose=True
)
Here I did the following configure the condense question prompt, initialize the conversation with some existing history, print verbose debug message.

But when I start the chat like this response = chat_engine.chat("Hi")
I still need to put in some query in the chat and the model does not take in consideration the prompt and the chat history.

This limitation is inhibiting the ability to have more sophisticated interactions with the model, especially in the context of conversational AI and getting a response from the model using the custom prompt only.

Is there a way to work with this complex prompt format and get a chat session started without providing it any more query, similar to how it is implemented in OpenAI's Chat Completions API.
Blocking harmful, manipulative, inappropriate advertisements on my childrens' (supervised) use of YouTube is the most moral thing I can do today.
Fair, I haven't checked the history so I could have it backwards. I've read and studied a lot of anarchist stuff over the years (it appeals to me greatly on an emotional/philosopical level, though I'm unconvinced of it's pragmatic utility) and hadn't encountered "defund the police" prior to that, but it's a deep and wide field so easy to miss things. I would expect "defund everything" rather than "defund the police" though certainly they would agree that the latter is a great step toward the former.
I don't know why I checked but uhh yup. It's working. There are at least 6 sites on the first page of Google results that now render goatse. Thankfully, the first link is the original one for me.

This brings us back to the initial comment I posted in this thread: why celebrate a public figure as a hero or moral founder? People seem to want to do this. Everyone must be either a hero or a villain; and a hero who falls from grace and turns into a villain in the public eye is doubly reviled!

I never got any good at it, but after 28 years my ability hasn’t degraded either.

Irrelevant. However much revenue it has, its expenses are higher. People want it to do more than they are willing to pay for.

So, here's Musk, proposing that they government do even more - hire more people. There are three options: Find something else to cut, raise more revenue, or run a larger deficit. Musk's lack of taxes is directly relevant.
I see you are a man of refinement and taste. We should meet at the next Lemon Party and discuss.
This is an interesting point, actually. I rarely play music in the background when I'm doing other things -- but I listen to a lot of music. When I do, I put an album on and listen to it with my full attention. In other words, I listen to music like other people watch movies.

It was only in the last few years that I learned that I was unusual in this.
When I was younger and much more into PHP as a language WordPress was a great fit for me. WordPress templating was rather obtuse for what's supposed to be a view layer and plugins made use of some pretty exotic APIs that I found hard to understand when not being knee deep in WordPress-land.

Recently I moved my static blog (what it's been since the WordPress days) to Django and Wagtail and my experience has been night and day. I think a big part of that is that Python is one of the languages I code in with some regular amount of frequency and that Django is one or two layers of abstraction below a thing like WordPress, which is much more appealing and intuitive for me as a programmer.

That's to say, pick a platform in a language you like and an abstraction layer that ensures you'll continue to have fun.
This isn't quite as trivial as "but people have a right to property", because the government has rights too. The US has long had property taxes, and they are entirely legal.

I advise reading the 14th amendment as well: "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"

For an extra twist: There's the fact that land-as-property is not enshrined in the constitution - that's the land ordinance of 1785. Which would make a constitutional challenge interesting.

And of course, none of all that obviates the original point: Nobody worked to create land, so from a moral standpoint, "land ownership" is a very interesting concept.
> The fact that they are essentially global variables should be enough to deter usage of them

Env var behaviour is much closer to dynamic variables, rather than global variables (which I argue at http://www.chriswarbo.net/blog/2021-04-08-env_vars.html )

Either way, I agree that mutating them is usually a bad idea; though I find them very good for constant (or dynamically-bound) config.
Python's typing ecosystem has come leaps and bounds, quickly. About 5 years ago I had to do an evaluation of Python+mypy and found that while mypy was a great idea, support by major libraries was abysmal and mypy itself was immature, so it wasn't suitable for real use. 2 years later, I took another look and the ecosystem had evolved massively, most libraries I cared about had type annotations added, PyCharm/VSCode had added support for type checking in the IDE, etc.

These days all of my use of Python is with type annotations that are validated by mypy as part of CI. It's very rare that I run into a Python library that doesn't have type annotations available. It's massively improved the stability of the Python code I'm working on. One indirect side effect is that static typing actively discourages people from poor design patterns such as **kwargs or passing around dicts/dataframes of data, since there's an obvious downside to doing so now.
The article says “fossils of single celled organisms can easily be confused for rocks”. But the title says does not make the same claim, so the parent comment is refuting the title not the article.

People aren't objecting to taxing 100 acres of Manhattan at rates that are associated with the value of the land there, people are upset about the idea that they could buy something, and then through no fault of their own, it becomes worth more and they have to sell because they can't afford to pay. Sure you get a ball of money as a consolation price, but you still had to move on.

But this is more of a straw man than a real objection; as there are various and sundry ways to resolve this (for fixed income, you can have property tax deferral until sale-after-death, you can have homestead exemptions, etc etc).
You can't unsee it. You know exactly what it looks like. It etches into long-term memory like a scar that never fades.
Around 2010 is about the right date. Things had picked back up in tech by 2005/6 approximately but, by then, as you say a fair number of people had just left the industry or never entered it. And, of course, the great recession was not that far in the future.

I was laid off right after 9/11 and I was very lucky that someone I knew who owned a very small company was still doing OK and they hired me; certainly I wasn't getting so much as a nibble anywhere else. (They did end up struggling but I was still there for a decently long time, albeit at an unexceptional salary.)
> You can't expect most company owners to want to continue running that company for decades on end

That's not actually weird, though. The idea that everyone should be expected to change jobs every few years is very recent.

> Who's going to buy an existing company that's profitable? Someone who's "profit-hungry" usually.

I didn't think this needed specifying, but there's a large difference between the goals "Create a great, enduring service and make a profit doing it" and "generate as much short-term profit as possible regardless of long-term consequences."

I worked one summer in a motorcycle shop where the leader was a real tyrant, and his staff was super afraid ever time he entered the room.

I ended up having a hell of a heated argument with him on the last day of the gig, because he was being such a petulent jerk. I guess I have less tolerance than his staff, and the fact that my gig was finished anyway...

I used to shop there. After working with him, I have never once returned, either for work, or as a customer.

Making yourself feared has its drawbacks. Not everyone will be afraid, and many that are will simply despise you. He is definitely unloved in that business.
I find the opposite. When I really sit down and lay out for my parents the implementation details of what goes on, yes, immediately the reaction is to the negative. They come back later though and ask for clarification. They ask more questions, and they more patiently listen to the answers.

Yeah, they can. But then that is illegal and the authorities are on the lookout for it.

When my friends were building a micro satelite as a university project in Hungary the local secret service showed up uninvited. They were absolutely friendly, geeked out with them about the project, and asked the group to upgrade their alarm system. Even recommended a brand. They also gave them tips on which countries better to avoided when they travel with the satelite to the launch pad.

How did they hear about their project? In short we don’t know. The speculation is that they got a tip that someone is buying space related hardware at this adress from a partner agency and they have been asked to check them out if they are a legit operation or a shell company smuggling parts.

Wow, you're right. It looks like they are talking about some other managed service.
