Instead of drawing with a single isolated finger, try writing with an invisible pen: pinch your fingers together like you are holding a pen (e.g., index, middle, and thumb), lower it to the screen until one finger touches, and then draw as if you had a pen in your hand.

This lets you use your same muscle memory. No need to guess where your finger will register. I prefer this dramatically more than drawing with a mouse.
Perhaps something that could you help is adding an H1 to the readmes like "This project is finished, not being developed", with some explanation like "Unless you found a security vulnerability, your issues and PRs may be ignored or receive delayed responses. Feel free to fork this repo if needed. Please do not ask if this is dead."

This clarifies your stance so well that people acting in good faith won't bother you, and anyone who does bother you very likely isn't acting in good faith - easy to ban.

Plus, when you see someone ask questions about your project and interpret them as "a bulleted list of the reasons I suck", it implies that on some level you think "I suck because I'm not giving these projects more of my time". Giving that kind of disclaimer might help you move away from that mindset, and instead feel more at ease with yourself. Your contributions should be celebrated (as the person with those bulleted points did!), and anyone acting in good faith can appreciate them and fork if needed

Hello!

I’m the “shark-diving science journalist” in question.

First of all, you can run the experiments like I did and test this yourself. I’m not asking anyone to take my word. Just do what I did: Read the original paper. Test the claims for yourself.

And to clarify a couple things:

1. The shark-diving part is true.

2. I’ve never been a journalist of any kind that I’m aware of unless you count writing for Skeptic Magazine. I’ve had many, many jobs though.

3. I started at OpenAI as a software engineer and member of technical staff. When I started there was just over a hundred people there. The lines between engineering were and are blurry.

4. I was the original prompt engineer at OpenAI and discovered many of the examples for using GPT-3 and wrote a lot of the original documentation. Internally my title was “prompt whisperer.”

5. I’m in the GPT-4 research paper for my contributions to model capability. I helped find abilities for long-text, vision, etc.

6. I was given the title Science Communicator when I started doing background briefings for media, etc., but still worked on model capability and other things.

7. I left OpenAI two months ago to work on a startup.

Best,

Andrew Mayne
The actual complaint: https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/Monumen...

Looks like a patent troll (it's not Kodak, it's "MONUMENT PEAK VENTURES, LLC") who thinks they have patents covering basically anything that uses computer vision segmentation.
Taking the 2.8 kHz bandwidth limit into account, around 2000 to 2400 baud depending on the excess bandwidth of the root-raised-cosine filter used to shape the signal.

The bandwidth of a single carrier signal is symbol rate * (1 + RRC excess bandwidth). A typical excess bandwidth is 0.35, so 2000 syms/s * 1.35 = 2700 Hz.

You can use a tighter roll-off, like 0.2. 2400 syms/s * 1.2 = 2880 Hz. Unfortunately, the tighter roll-off increases the PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio) of the transmitted signal.
Automating this in bulk enables societal harms considerably more dangerous than anyone could have reasonably foreseen prior to 2020.

If it was discovered that someone had been operating a secret network of CCTV cameras pointed at every street corner on Earth for the last 20 years, would you say "well, you had no reasonable expectation of privacy anyway"?
Why not?

Do people forget how new this tech is?
Great quote. Hopefully you get two more quarters but I hope that doesn't take away from the motivation ;)
This is the experience I had as well as a lot of other people that start out in Finance and then move on to something related to data engineering or system implementation.

I don't see it ending anytime soon simply because it is easier to build something somewhat complex inside of Excel and put it on a network share than go through IT to install IDE, build something, and then go through security to deploy it. Not every problem requires a jira project and overly complicated solution.

That said, I am wholeheartedly against large things being built in VBA. A few little scripts to query a cube in one system and combine with data from a table in another based on changing values in a few cells is fine but there is a point where you have to go elsewhere.

Ultimately I am a huge fan of of the Alteryx+Tableau/PowerBI stack for the vast majority of projects, so long as you have the server licenses where things can be automated.
I’ve also seen people in the street do wild things in Philly. And yes, homeless people are often dirty because the way don’t have access to running water. And yes, drug users sometimes litter needles (the crime you’re complaining about is littering, which is still illegal).

None of those things are a reason why someone should lose their freedom for using drugs. Prison isn’t a punishment we should throw around to people we find distasteful or annoying, it’s an extremely serious measure.
Like, without that inert gas there would have to be something else. Being in a pure oxygen environment for a prolonged period has health impacts to many animals including us. Anything even remotely flammable, like paper, wood, sugar, would burn uncontrollably with the slightest spark.

If you didn't have nitrogen you would need another inert gas to make up 80% (or whatever) of the atmosphere you were going to make.
All of which can be handed off to competent professionals part-time for a fee.
> 'burn' is simply used to imply that using uranium is no different than using wood/oil/coal/gas as a fuel, but that's completely unscientific

Stars "burn" their fuel. This usage is deeply precedented in astrophysics.

It’s usually worth it for any long-standing technology you’re going to spending a significant amount of time using. Over the years you’ll save time because you’ll be able to get to the right answer in less time, debug faster, and won’t always be pulling out your hair Googling.

Americans live on average 2 years less than Europeans. [1]

37% of US adults and 16% of EU adults are obese (2014). [2]

Even moderate obesity reduces life expectancy by 3 years. Severe obesity is 10 years. [3]

Factor in the not-obsese-but-overweight, and you explain basically the entire difference.

What you’re missing that is “red is an apple” is also possibly saying in a metaphorical sense that red is like an apple to someone - delicious, a treat, perhaps otherwise representative. In that way, the encoding of “is”’ is exactly correct - it’s an ordered pair of glyphs that imply a weak form of assignment or description. : apologies, replied to the wrong post, meant to push this up one.
They are often called driver's licenses, though, because it is so common that the official state issued id is a driver's license. In less formal language (in my experience) "identification" usually means random student id or bus passes or any picture id would be ok while "driver's license" means official state id or military id.
I think many folks have those early chats with friends where one side was dismissing llms for so many reasons, when the job was to see and test the potential.

While part of me enjoyed the early gpt much more than the polished version today, as a tool it’s much more useful to the average person should they make it back to gpt somehow.
The check on SCOTUS is that it doesn't have any law enforcing powers. They're just men and women in long cloaks writing things down. Also, SCOTUS members can be impeached and they can say "no that impeachment is invalid" all they like as the police escort them out of the building.

Government is not like programming a computer. If everyone treats the government like it has power, then it has power. If everyone collectively agrees it doesn't have power then it starts to lack power.
As a developer running a company using an open source library my primary concern is, will this technology choice serve my project’s needs?

Happy to contribute to help but knowing that the persons who actually understand and took the responsibility to maintain a library are around, informs my choices.

It’s fine if you don’t want to fix problems in your library anymore, that’s your choice, I just won’t use that library—but I need to know what’s going on or else I can’t make choices for my own benefit.

Whether you like it or not, posting an open-source library is equivalent in my and many developers minds, to telling other people that they ought to use your code in some way. If the way you signal them to use it is as a dependency in their own critical software, by posting it to a package manager and hyping up the benefits of your design choices and code, I do think it’s kinda on you if people get burned by deciding to work with you, even if indirectly.

Communication is the point - if you don’t want people to expect maintenance of your software, say that you won’t maintain it, don’t put it on a package manager, or else people will get the wrong idea, because open sourcing and posting the code is also communicating something, even if in your case it’s unconscious and not what you actually meant.

You're making 2 assumptions there!
Is part of the reason that there are a lot of younger men dying at much younger ages which skews the life expectancy? Or do they exclude outliers when they are putting the numbers together?
Feminists almost universally proclaim their ideology is in fact one of the pursuit of equality for all. That's the why.

The name of course betrays the obvious and always has.
It pretty much already is right (even if the technology used is different)?

Well, maybe like 1% of deaths if you include suicides as "gun violence" (kinda weird, but is often stated), maybe 2% if you focus on only men.

But yea, it's a literal nonfactor in aggregate life expectancy. Amdahl's law applies here too.
The best thing you can do when you have the resources is to outsource your thinking to other people. Don’t want to figure out your own taxes? Pay someone to figure it out. Don’t want to figure out the law? Pay someone to figure it out. Don’t want to figure out your schedule? Pay someone to figure it out.

My point is, you’d probably get a lot farther by talking to the experts he pays to be close to rather than listening to him.

That is an oversimplification, it disregards a few things: the concentration of radioisotopes (which is extremely high in spent fuel) and type of decay products (which each have their own half lives, in many cases the radioactivity goes up for some time after the initial decay while decay products break down and eventually reach a stable isotope) and the type of emissions.

Also containers that don't break down under centuries of ionising radiation bombardment haven't been invented yet.

Is China a profit driven society or do they have a command economy? Do you even understand the basics of politics and what it takes to enact certain things in different countries with different political systems and motivations? China also added more solar capacity last year than the entire US solar capacity. Why is it your support for China policies only extends to your fondness for 1950's science fiction? China's Covid crackdowns were effective in slowing the spread of the disease through their populations and saves potentially millions of lives because of it. Should we be welding people into their apartment buildings or are you willing to admit that different governments tackle problems differently and one solution can't be applied universally?

By the way, even accounting for China's recent investment in nuclear they are only projecting to have 10% of their power generated by nuclear by 2050. The US is already close to 20%, or twice as much as China as a percentage of power generated. But sure, let's just keep pretending these situations are the same.
Not if you write code that calculates time.
Not sure.

But if you've ever seen someone on test, you'll see them visibly age.
I'm sympathetic to the "doing things in bulk is different to doing it as a once off". But in this case the harm isn't obvious to me.

(Also, why 2020? I could understand if you'd said 2016 with Cambridge Analytica but 2020 isn't clear to me).
I was being mostly frivolous but there's a larger point.

23 is used in also sorts of numerological explanations and connections. And of course, there is no actual connection 99% of the time.

The "explanations" get very inventive by also considering 2 and 3 invidually, 2+3, etc. Doesn't take long to get something to pull the gullible in.

Black and Native American life expectancy drag it down a fair bit. A median European dropped in US only loses a few years. In fact this goes for lots of stuff; drop someone from Norway in America and their chance of dying by gun doesn't change much either.
> it repulses every fiber of my food safety being

A lot of American food-safety guidance is needed because we sterilized away the food's natural defenses. Go to most parts of the world and you'll find meat and eggs left safely on the counter for hours, or even consumed raw. We can't do that in America, because we've bleached and washed the good stuff away.
Catholics go to confession for this exact reason - people still mess up both accidentally and on purpose, and when they do they need a path back to God. This is the concept of repenting, where you just turn around and walk away from your sin and back to God, like the Prodigal Son.

Living right is acknowledging the mistakes and trying to never do that same thing again. Repeatedly robbing a bus station is quite a far cry from trying not to do evil on purpose.

Steroids cause premature death, not testosterone.
The life expectancy distribution is not flat: it varies considerably by income, location, and whether you do drugs. It's also a mean, not a median, skewed by early deaths from suicide, drugs, etc. The point being: if you're already 54, earning a median HN salary and not doing drugs, you'll probably live to a lot longer than 73.

I like to reassure myself that my first 20-25 years were wasted on things like "learning basic life skills" and "working too many hours at my first jobs", and that everything I really consider "my life" has taken place in the portion since then.

So by the actuarial life tables, he has 24.5 years left, and has had about 30-35 years of self-directed life so far, which gets him up to 40-45% of his life remaining.
Fentanyl, a male suicide crisis and a strong cultural taboo around male mental health, bad responses to COVID-19, poor medical system, and social attitudes strongly attack tackling health care issues for men as somehow oppressive to women.

This was my take as well. It seems like the author did the bare minimum to communicate the state of the project and is now complaining when people don't understand the situation. For all the anxiety they feel, it could have been prevented with just a minute's worth of effort.
I don't think your camera analogy is equivalent. It's moreso like actors were filmed with the full knowledge they were, except now the studios are going to make creating deep fakes movies of them available not only to themselves, but to everyone
And there's been no changes since it was supposedly gotten rid of (in reality, we never had it in the first place). My internet speed has gotten much faster in fact.
> The decline in life expectancy in the U.S. suggests that advancements in medical treatment are no longer sufficient to counter ongoing public health crises, Yan said. “We have a health care system that is very advanced in treating illnesses and advanced disease. But for the most part … it is not very good when it comes to preventative care.”

Medical treatment is hard to even get. It feels so inaccessible at times. I have a order for blood tests right now, idk how much it is going to cost and what my insurance will cover, and there aren't appointments for 2 weeks at least. Im pretty sure most specialist are that hard to see. Psychologists are ime. I think it might actually be impossible to see dermatologist.

Im curious what life expectancy would be calculated as if they removed some of the easily avoidable issues, like assume I don't kill my self, or OD on opioids, live my life at a healthy weight. What is the male life expectancy then?
You're literally describing how the patriarchy hurts men.

> when all those arguments explain the gender pay gap

Yes. Which is why you focus on the delta. The end goal is for that to be more equal via breaking down the societal structures we've created where men are expected to take on more risk and women are pressured against from taking more dangerous work. You're a raging feminist.

The patriarchy isn't "men." Both men and women contribute to it and are responsible for it. There's "women aren't cut out for..." which is the side everyone knows but it's also "if you can't provide for your family you're a deadbeat." A society that puts almost all the power in the hands of men shoulders all the responsibility on them too and it's literally killing them.

You need to ask why men find themselves doing more dangerous work and taking on more risk? Or differently why don't women feel the need to? Because in our patriarchal society that's where the bar is for men. That's the role men have been placed into whether they want it or not. Here's a quote from The Bell Jar that distills it perfectly -- "what a man wants is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from." [1] Men are expected to be the forerunners striking it out into the unknown and women are expected to provide stability. And the idea is ingrained from birth.

[1] For context Sylvia and the protagonist Esther violently disagree with this.

Drugs and road accidents are other disproportionate contributors to the US's awful life expectancy.

At the risk of being a wiseass, at least some of this is Americans taking Ben Franklin's aphorism about liberty and safety far too seriously. Sometimes, trading some liberty for safety is entirely sensible.
