Independent of what politicians and lawmakers believe, a few humans out here think copying a digital good is like listening to the echoes of a concert you don't have a ticket to attend.

Thank you for trying. Yes, this is AI-generated. We fine-tuned a special LLM with a huge dataset of prompts with a Monte Carlo algorithm to explore the solution space. We have evaluated every single prompt in our datasets before fine-tuning them with LLM metrics.
The complexities of OAuth make me want to go solve an NTLM double-hop problem with a three headed dog.

Why are we seeing so many implementation mistakes? Is OAuth simply too difficult?
No, that nebulous territory is exactly the issue, let's not duck it: should the U.S. impose its view on people who aren't citizens or not? Lately we've been edging toward the side of "no, that's bad to do," but if the answer is yes, maybe we should be reaching out to other countries and telling them what rights they have.
A few notes:

1. A raspberry pi was picked as a single point failure point. This will be a headache within 24 months.

2. Daily power/thermal cycles might age some things more than a steady thermal load of always being on. Not a big deal and optimizing power consumption is totally reasonable, but a trade to track.

This comment reminds me of the central thesis of Red Plenty [0] - that all the mathematical or algorithmic sorcery in the world frequently fails on contact with actual human beliefs and desires. We seldom have simple enough utility functions to meaningfully optimize in real life - all of our philosophies, theologies, and other cultural debris have evolved to manage those complexities (often imperfectly).

Let's break this one down:

> By your definition of what makes 3.5 and similar LLMs "intelligent", an online interactive encyclopedia must be smart too. It obviously "knows" lots of stuff no one human being does. The big addition with these LLMs is the programmed ability to synthesize retrieved information into plausibly human-like conversation. Well damn, skynet must be here!

> You're forgetting that there's no entirely self-directed agency or minimal sense of self behind any of this, and hand waving aside, no evidence whatsoever of the sentience they're necessary ingredients of. The dumbest, most uneducated semi-adult human can fully self direct in their own unpredictable ways to do all kinds of things that no GPT manifestation is capable of in any way. This is obvious.

1. What interactive encyclopedia? I don't know of any that are even remotely like an LLM.

2. LLMs were not given the "programmed ability to synthesize retrieved information into plausibly human-like conversation", they learned it from human conversation.

3. I'm not "forgetting" the question of self-directed agency or sense of self or sentience, I dispute they're necessary. What seems to matter to me for almost every question[0] is the capabilities, not any inner experience they may or may not have.

3a. Define "self-directed agency".

3b. Define "sense of self".

3c. Define "sentience".

4. Re "The dumbest, most uneducated semi-adult human" — that's remarkably brash of you, so I'll hold you to it: within the specific domain of "written text"[1], name one task that at least half of 18 year old humans with IQ 85 (by definition 15.9% of the population have lower) can do, that GPT-4 [2] can't do.

(There may or may not be such a task, I don't know; the challenge remains, as you seem to think this is too obvious to have bothered citing anything).

[0] exceptions: "should they have rights" and "does a mind upload count as a way to cheat death", neither of which matters in the context of the linked OpenAI challenge etc.

[1] 3.5 is not even trying to be anything more than that!

[2] you did write "no GPT manifestation is capable of in any way" so I feel justified in this case, even though that would otherwise be a goalpost-shift.

Agree with this, myQ is such a dumpster fire. It needs to have an the ability to be managed over the local network instead of requiring the garage door and app connect to their server.

My very first experience with myQ was figuring out that their IP blocklist provider, brightcloud, blocks anything with the word "proxy" - including the default "it works" page for Nginx Proxy Manager [1]. And they have no way of overriding this to actually provide service if someone turns out to be a legitimate customer.

the problem is these submissions are incentivized to scare the shit out of you, but not to be honest about “how worried you should be about it”. this heavily applies to MSM stories as well.

> BP's responsibility is to increase profits for shareholders, not save the planet.

Sad but true. Investors that divert from fossil to renewables remove themselves from BP's shareholder pool. Leaving almost exclusively shareholders that want the company to do what it always did: produce fossil fuel.

So oil companies will remain that as long as they can. Maybe they'll do something for PR reasons, to hedge their bets, or legal requirements.

When demand for fossil fuels collapses, it's a safe bet other companies (like Tesla) will be established players in renewable tech. Oil companies? Too little, too late.

That said: more EV chargers out there = progress no matter who did it.

Hum... IMO the government lending interest rate should be set strictly at the highest value that still ensures bank healthy and should have absolutely no concern for the overall economy.

Inflation should be managed directly by fiscal policy. Having your central bank do it is a wishful fantasy that only serves to concentrate wealth and create instability with years-long hidden feedback loops. And oh, it also serves to excuse politicians out of their responsibility.

But then, I don't see how something that only serves to make rich people richer and make excuses for politicians can ever change. So I'm not holding my breath.

What city do you live in? There is a huge array of healthy low calorie options near me all the way to pure vegetarian/vegan places.

There is a ridiculously strong correlation between sedentariness and obesity. We our more sedentary than ever before and then remote work/school increased it again.

I believe a person struggling with weight is basically determined in their childhood. Only in childhood will the body build new fat cells and the number of fat cells determines hormonal production of leptin and others which trigger hunger cues for the rest of life. Basically a fat child will permanently be hungrier for the rest of their life due to increased numbers of fat cells. If you’re a skinny and active kid you will permanently have an easier time to keep weight off. And before you blame food again sedentariness has increased among children immensely as well.

This is a pretty neat idea. This inspired me to think if there are any password styles that can maintain their security, while you could make a hint keyword public so you could easier remember the password.

I wholeheartedly support digitization, having been involved in the realms of development, system administration, and everything computer-related since my early days. However, what irks me is when I'm bound to use products or services from providers who fail to execute their roles properly despite being compensated for it.

A recent incident at my child's school serves as a pertinent example. They transitioned from a traditional cash-based food delivery system to a new digital platform. While trying to register on this platform, I was prompted to provide an "email". I input my usual email address only to be met with an "invalid email" response. After multiple back-and-forths with both the school and the platform's support, I discovered that by "email", they actually meant a "Gmail account".

For context, I've been using my own domain for my email, which ends in .international, for over a decade now—longer than my 9-year-old child has been alive. Despite this, they deemed my email domain "new". The situation reached a head when the school's principal called me, trying to understand the issue. After explaining the situation, he assured me that the problem was on my end, stating that he had consulted with other teachers and they were in agreement that "<my domain name>.international" wasn't a "real platform".

Not sure if what I'm saying is cogent but I feel like there's an ideological game of hide and seek not being played or someone is "it" and simply leaving the rest of the players to hide but they lobbied against a rule that allowed for unoffical games of hide and seek and insisted they are only ever "it" and the rest of the players can't gather and create their own non-sanctioned game that disincludes the current player and that the current instance can never actually end to allow for a new game.

I worked in the payment card industry for awhile a few years back. There are entire countries that are blocked by card providers due to fraud.

Unfair or not, it actually makes a difference. I was in a neat position to see some of the attempts in real time. It blew me away how much attempted fraud there is. Think of it like spam email - it's that bad.

> if my card was already accepted once and I successfully approved the payment via 3D secure with my bank, who are you (as a random online service) to assume you can act as my big brother? Even more, if I'm using a balance paid by gift card, who give Amazon or other services the right to put my account on hold while it still contains my hard earned money[?]

There are many payment methods around the world that have different rules, but for Visa, MC, and Amex cards issued by American banks, the merchant, not the card issuer, has the liability to repay fraudulent on-line purchases (so-called "card not present" transactions). The merchant is the one accepting the risk, not your bank. So they decide which transactions they will accept liability for and which they will decline and what you need to do to prove that their liability is low.

In addition, some second-factor systems (like possibly 3D secure) shift the liability from the merchant to the issuer when passed, but banking rules are arcane, and it is likely that 3D secure only shifts the liability for the one transaction that triggered it, and not any subsequent transactions.

It's not depressing at all! It's actually just part of natural selection. We, as living beings, will compete for resources. This is why us humans are as dominant as we are on this planet, and why we will continue to spread as far as we can. If we were not like this, our species would have never made it to modern homo sapiens and would have died out tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago

The second sentence of the article says that it's being used on visa applicants, who are therefore trying to enter the country legally. If CBP is already aware that someone has or is attempting to enter the country illegally, they don't need to analyze their social media.

Also, "illegal alien" is an outdated term because implies an individual's entire existence as "illegal," which is dehumanizing.
It sounds like this is setting the stage for the FAA to be forced to make a move...

> the FAA has a statutory mandate to prescribe standards for the composition or chemical or physical properties of an aircraft fuel or fuel additive to control or eliminate aircraft emissions which the EPA has found endanger public health or welfare under section 231(a) of the Clean Air Act. In issuing these final findings, the EPA is making such a finding for emissions of lead from engines in covered aircraft.
Another user, elashri, asked this:

"Not sure if I can just take a pdf(epub..etc) file to a copy shop and just ask them to print the book for me. Wouldn't they be concerned about copyrights?"

and their comment got voted down and killed. It's a good question, though. Can you take a random book to a copy shop and have it printed? I've never tried it and I don't know, but I'm curious.

Before scanners were common and affordable, I had one heck of a time duplicating a professional photo of my parents. The photographer had died, and none of the local copy shops would dupe it for me without a release (which I eventually just forged, because it was getting ridiculous). It seems at least plausible that the same shops might say "nah, that's clearly not your own work, and we won't print it".

How does this work in real life?

> Visa applicants can often be located in the US

Since 9/11, one cannot apply for a US visa if they’re in US. In the context of US immigration, “visa” grants entry, “status” grants stay. If you’re in US, and need to change “status” to a different category (business/leisure, student, etc), you have two primary choices: (1) apply for “change of status” in US, or (2) leave US, apply for a new “visa” in the new category, and enter US using that new “visa”.
> "If you train on copyrighted data because you don't believe in copyright"

OpenAI may or may not believe in copyright, but they don't believe it applies in their case. From a different angle the US Copyright Office tends to agree, not accepting copyright registration for AI works. [2]

We may end up agreeing that AI models and their output should be open source or even public domain. However, I would not argue that on the basis of "because the makers do not believe in copyright". I think the copyright argument might be orthogonal in general.

Yes, but also let's cut people some slack: most people on either side of IQ 100 are spending all their energy at work, and between the job, commute, preparing food, spending time with kids, etc. they only have enough energy to crawl into bed and start the grind again the next day. With that in mind, the popularity of low-effort, high-dopamine entertainment doesn't necessarily imply that most people are simple-minded and just like this - the alternative hypothesis is that they just don't have time and energy for any more complex, richer ways of spending their time.

> We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

I'm not religious, so I don't believe in a "creator" in the most literal sense, but doesn't this imply that (from the government's perspective) that these rights were given by God, and cannot be taken away by a government?

Again, I'm aware that the declaration is not a legally binding document, but I feel like it symbolizes the ideals of what the US was supposed to be.
It’s important to caveat here the language model was prompted into the suggestions explicitly, it’s not that it spontaneously suggested dangerous recipes.

I’d not also that it’s getting harder to do that with current ChatGPT (this article uses GPT3.5), and I suspect “alignment” research in the 5 years time frame will make these sorts of things pretty hard to trick the models into doing.

if you're from the usa, your grandparents could buy corn oil and margarine, and didn't see them as luxury items; but their generation didn't make a diet out of it

conventional convenience foods like mcdonalds hamburgers, coca-cola, and twinkies are about 3, 0.5, and 4 kilocalories per gram; olive oil and butter are 9. healthier foods like whole-wheat bread, eggs, eggplant, and fatty steak are 2.5, 1.5, 0.4, and 3.5 calories per gram. calorie density is not what makes eggs healthier than coca-cola

your hypothesis would also imply that people on low-carbohydrate diets consisting of fatty meat and cheese would rapidly gain weight, but instead they lose it
