>For the most part these rules and
principles are not new: The Court has long had the
equivalent of common law ethics rules, that is, a body of rules
derived from a variety of sources, including statutory
provisions, the code that applies to other members of the
federal judiciary, ethics advisory opinions issued by the
Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct, and
historic practice. The absence of a Code, however, has led
in recent years to the misunderstanding that the Justices of
this Court, unlike all other jurists in this country, regard
themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules. To dispel
this misunderstanding, we are issuing this Code, which
largely represents a codification of principles that we have
long regarded as governing our conduct.

From a quick scan, I think the inclusion of spouses in some of the suggestions for recusal are probably among the most notable. Also:

>A Justice may attend a “fundraising event” of law-
related or other nonprofit organizations, but a
Justice should not knowingly be a speaker, a guest
of honor, or featured on the program of such event.
In general, an event is a “fundraising event” if
proceeds from the event exceed its costs or if
donations are solicited in connection with the event.

Is maybe interesting, especially re: Federalist Society and Leonard Leo.

At any rate, it says "should" and "may" rather than "must" so YMMV.
Rock. Silicates absorb CO2 through weathering. Olivine absorbs faster in seawater. Weathering is one of the slow non-biologic sinks for CO2.

But it is possible to make it work faster by crushing olivine and dumping it in shallow ocean.
Do you think that's what the team got? This is just PR babble.

Ask HN: Bearish AI Prompt Examples
Reading [1] some people see little value in using ChatGPT to solve problems and others get a lot of value from it.

It occurred to me - rather than debate, why not share our conversation links?

So, this is an invitation - if you are Bearish on AI, share a conversation here that demonstrates why you've felt it hasnt done a good job. If others feel they could do it better - link to a conversation showing how you'd approach the problem.

Maybe we can all learn something.

That sounds like a way of narrative distortion - convincing people that higher prices are somehow a good thing, when all this does is hurt the working poor more than anyone else. Shame on NPR.
Good point, and conversely, web components can't since they must be registered in JavaScript before the side loads.

Hydration solutions exist but are usually worse and come with surprising tradeoffs and harm composabilitiy.
I know right. Google wouldn’t have that much to give if they weren’t every user’s gateway to the web.
The premise of the "shouting fire in a crowded theater" example is obviously not predicated on the illegality of shouting "fire" in and of itself.

> Ultimately, whether it is legal in the United States to falsely shout "fire" in a theater depends on the circumstances in which it is done and the consequences of doing it.

Edit: I am not agreeing with the parent that there is value in the comparison, only that the premise of the example is valid - i.e. that speech can have consequences dire enough to make it worth controlling that speech in certain contexts.
All four:

(households) I support a society where —as in the US of the last century in which I grew up— a single working parent suffices to support a household.

(religion) I support a society which has its own intrinsic solidarity, without needing the sort of middlemen who "love to pray standing ... in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men."

(success) I support a society where a good education —in trades as well as professions— is available even to those who have been so unwise as to pick the wrong parents.

(racism) I support a society where, sure, there's always some ethnicity on the bottom rungs, but at least it changes every generation as the old bottom rungs assimilate. (Over the last half century it's been, in turn, italians, turks, former yugoslavs, former warsaw pact, and now I guess north africans?)

Fortunately we don't have "high crime neighbourhoods" in the US sense — I think there are several obvious reasons why not, but implementing them in the US would require not only structural changes, but probably also constitutional amendment. (having seen what happened to the ERA in the Old Country, I'm not holding my breath)
I reduced my iPhone to a modern PDA but it required a bit of effort. The only social app I use is whatsapp because telecom services are useless. I’m increasingly going back to local-first tech and self hosting services.
Yes that forest existed for many years, produced coal, oil, shale gas, that's the long-term storage

If the forest now regrow, it's a short term storage (added with the long-term effect, that will take more time to settle, but it's a continuous process, so it's good to have too)
The article says that you win points but there is no way to win money back or get payouts. What is legal is not the same thing as what is moral (and vice versa).

No illegal alternative necessary, the players of this app get zero odds and payouts.

gherkinnn is saying that just because it is legal does not mean that the people behind the company are free of responsibility for the damage their app creates.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here.
Hard to put this succinctly but it has a sense of the sad and exhausted feeling one gets when they're mildly sick and must stay home, and likely stay in bed, to recover but you don't really want to do so.

In other words, Sunday is our only true day to rest, the weekday was busy with work and scattered after-work commitments, and Saturday was devoted to a combination of chores and using every last bit of energy you had in the week to enjoy life and friends. So we may try to mentally force ourselves to take a day of rest and limited exertion, which in turn makes it not restful or fulfilling.

It's sort of like when you know you need to go to bed on time so that you can have full energy for a busy tomorrow, it somehow makes your sleep worse knowing that.
The financialization of everything to extract incremental value is exhausting. I feel its also very detrimental to society when every positive interaction has to involve money.

Go to a theme park: buy a ticket. Then have the option to buy a fast-pass otherwise you will be in line all day. But wait, that only covers certain attractions and other ones need a faster fast-pass. [1]

Food delivery: pay a fee to the delivery network, separate tip for the driver. Then some places will hide a fee by raising the prices of things ordered through the delivery network vs. calling in. Then how much you tip might determine if your food arrives warm or cold. [2]

And so many more examples.

I've started patronizing businesses and products that don't nickel and dime at every step. I guess the easiest thing to do is vote with our wallets.

Agreed. My wife did not care about getting a fancy diamond ring for our wedding (US) but I ended up getting the standard expensive diamond ring out of tradition. One thing I noticed was how many of her female friends and relatives wanted to inspect and complement her ring. Even MY female relatives were saying things like, "Oh, I am glad he chose well, I was worried he was going to cheap out on the ring." So, we have a ways to go in the US. Maybe gen Z will save us.
> Software is math and math formulas are not patentable.

Software isn't really math.

Software is logic, and usually opinionated logic choices at that.
You seem to misunderstand what im saying...
I disagree. He states quite clearly that the “it’s right for me” argument has a flaw. If there are 6 possibilities and you examined 5 before deciding that number 3 was “right for you”, then you cannot actually state that you know that #3 is better than #6.

Then, he points out that printf debugging requires that you recompile and rerun your code every time you add or remove a printf. Pernosco, on the other hand, let's you record your program once and then add printfs to it later. Each time you add a printf, you get a complete list of all the things it would have printed had it been part of your program when you ran it. You don't have to recompile or rerun it.

If your program originally ran for an hour and your new printf would have printed a million lines, Pernosco doesn't make you wait an hour. It simply computes what would have been printed, and does so in a few seconds. It doesn’t even start at the beginning of the program either, or generate all million lines at once. It starts with the lines that will actually be visible in the log window, which could be at any point in the execution. More log lines are computed on the fly as you scroll around.

I think that Pernosco gives you superpowers.

In fact, while it might be rude to tell a golf pro to change their grip, I would argue that you’re not actually a pro unless you’re using Pernosco. (Or a debugger with identical features, if any exist.)

> [We] recommend Ubuntu for OSINT virtual machines [...]

> We feel that Ubuntu is being aggressively misleading with the rollout of Ubuntu Pro, and we do not recommend any OSINT users attach this service to their investigative VMs.

Or, you know, you could stop recommending Ubuntu as the preferred distro of choice. This is clearly user-hostile and there are numerous good alternatives available.
This would be an interesting way to measure crowds in general-- in concerts, attending political rallies, attending protests, etc. A handful of journalists attending an event could spread out and share their max value.

Not in my experience at smaller companies, and at larger companies there's forums dedicated to gaming the system so validation is less accurate.
Eh, if it doesn't have consequences it's a bit pointless.
As should C. C++ is staying relevant (among other reasons) because it embeds C as a(n almost) subset in a natural way. To understand why C++ is remaining relevant, one must understand why C is remaining relevant. It has little to do with the language itself.

As long as the creators of other languages, including so-called C "successor" languages, keep giving zero shits about language interoperability and prefer to play in their little sandboxes that they've created for themselves instead of collaborating on creating a language-agnostic ABI, the C ABI will remain the ABI Franca, so C will stay relevant.

As long as C (and C++) are the only languages that you can compile and link the way you see fit as opposed to caving in to some my-way-or-the-highway language-specific "fully integrated" dependency manager and build system, C will stay relevant.

As long as this lack of vision, this pathological shortsightedness, and this complete disinterest in taking any steps whatsoever to unseat C from its privileged niche and create an ecosystem in which "successor" languages can compete with C on a level playing field continues to dominate the entire industry and every single "language" community in existence, C will stay relevant.
They're ugly trash, and they often go right up to the sidewalk as depicted in that picture. They are NOT what the city needs; although lies to the contrary drove the passage of corrupt legislation to allow developers to build 10 units where a single house stands... with no permits needed or local review or override possible.

Meanwhile, boarded-up Macy's stores, the dying malls they anchor, and the vast parking lots growing weeds around them stand empty. Those sites have already suffered the costs of density, with every tree cut down and the ground paved over. But politicians have targeted already-residental neighborhoods for destruction instead, against popular opinion.

L.A. is ugly and barren enough without more Kleenex boxes like these "dingbats" lining the streets. This never-ending hysteria about "the housing shortage" is an excuse for more graft perpetrated by politicians and the developers who own them. There's plenty of opportunity to build housing in L.A. without destroying single-family neighborhoods. But that just won't deliver the easy profits that building permit-free offers to developers, and to the corporations that are buying up entire neighborhoods.

Which is another problem the state is ignoring. As corporations buy entire tracts, already-difficult home ownership is going to become IMPOSSIBLE for future generations... denying them the greatest opportunity to build wealth throughout their lives. Corporations don't die and hand their houses down or turn them over to new families.

Disgusting scams all around.
Just skimming that paper, it doesn't look like they made use of any kind of fingerprinting. The paper below shows how BLE devices can be profiled to extract a potentially unique fingerprint. I don't know how well this would scale to large numbers of devices, but I'd imagine if you used such a fingerprint, you could dramatically improve the association between randomized MAC addresses even if the fingerprint is not 100% unique.

First, Monika Mitra is a professor of disability policy, so she is also an expert.

Second, it's a little ambiguous how much they disagree. To use slightly contrived numbers, it's possible the first group of experts and researchers think perception changes and increased honesty explain 2/3 of the increase, but Mitra things it explains 1/3. The wording also leaves open the possibility they basically agree with Mitra and just feel less confident ruling out changes in perception.
Awesome write up, I liked how accessible the writing is, as well as the fun tone.

I have a problem where I will need to monitor the soil moisture of 20 trees in San Francisco. My current thought is to strap an ESP32, Lora module, battery, and capacitive soil moisture sensor and to send data once every 6 hours or so.

I was wondering if off the cuff you have any suggestions or pointers on how to best approach this. Thanks and once again, thank you for sharing this!
> I've tried to play dungeons and dragons with Chatai. It doesn't like to use any mechanical rules and keeps trying to wrap everything up like its got a train to catch.

Yes, that's the RLHF and other mechanisms. Raters presumably reward completions which are, well, complete and can be quickly judged as a whole, no matter what the intrinsic quality might be or how valid it would be to end with a 'Tune in next week for chapter 2'.

What OP is describing is the emergent behavior of the base model, which acts very differently from the RLHF/instruction-tuned/who-knows-what-else ChatGPT web interface. (This is one reason I tend to avoid that in favor of the Playground and direct model access: there's much less moving machinery behind the scenes.) What the additional stuff does is quite hard to understand because the original prediction objective has been replaced by a bunch of mashed-together objectives combined with feedback loops, leading to some bizarre behavior like being unable to reliably write a nonrhyming poem. (Give that a try in ChatGPT: "write a nonrhyming poem". It's been slooowly getting better at it, perhaps because I and other people keep submitting examples of it failing to do so - but it will still usually fail! and when it does seem to be succeeding finally, if you let it keep writing lines, it will generally gradually revert back to rhyming.) If you go back to the original davinci-001, you'll find that it acts strikingly different than your description of contemporary ChatGPT.

OP, incidentally, has some discussion of what it is like to interact with the real GPT-4, which is not like ChatGPT-4: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/tbJdxJMAiehewGpq2/impression...

AFAIK, this is one of the only discussions online of what GPT-4-base is like qualitatively. (Note that it sounds a lot like Sydney - if you were around for that, the original Bing Sydney turned out to be a GPT-4 snapshot from partway through training which hadn't been RLHFed but given only some extremely inadequate custom Bing training.)
"In the end, it was Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness that starts to set in at about 2:55 when you know you've taken all the baths you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul." -- Douglas Adams

Doesn’t take much of that before it’s easier to just use a different distro.
I think it’s really smart for projects like Linux Mint to keep actively maintained distros off of Ubuntu or Gnome or whatever. Give the user the option, but have a fallback.

I’m not optimistic canonical is going to just turn back from this path of Snaps and DRM.
Do you need an ESP32 vs an 8266? I believe the 8266’s are more energy efficient.

In either case, you can put them in a deep sleep that uses minuscule amounts of energy and can wake back up on a timer. I’d start there.
> Well it’s been no secret, but OS/2 6.123 on my PS/2 model 80, is insanely unstable running simple MS-DOS based games (large EXE’s)

Lost me here. I developed several systems based on OS/2 (both 16 and 32 bit) and don't recall this kind of stability issue. Different use case, I guess. I was using IBM's C/C++ tool chain and did some scripting in REXX, no big DOS games.

I would agree, I think you're right, mainly innovators who are so old they are no longer teenagers ;)

When an obvious outlier pops up, I really respect that can represent an alternative path which might be maintained without serious limitations imposed by mainstream momentum.

Plus you have to figure, if you're going to discover anything at all before you're 20, you're going to need to start when you're still a teenager, or better yet a pre-teen. Why wait decades? OTOH, why not continue to be an outlier decade after decade and put the continuous improvement approach through a compounding effect?

Kind of like you would do financially with compound interest where starting early has a clear mathematical advantage of its own.
Introduction to Differential Equations
Lately it's been feeling to me like we live in a theocratic hellscape.

Like, so much of our "life" occurs on a plane of existence that doesn't actually exist. It's all virtual. Fake worlds! Fake relationships! Fake money! (Fake news!). Then we have to reconcile that with the reality we live in. We might as well be living according to the arbitrary whims of God all over again. The rules change arbitrarily; systems that work predictably one day get silently updated overnight to overhaul everything from the business logic to the interface itself. God willed it!

Making it worse, it's bureaucratic beyond comprehension. I have weeks at work where I don't even know what my job even is. I could write some code, I guess. Deploying it is going to require interacting with a number of teams to beg for provisioning, credentials, firewall exceptions, etc. I have to ask this from people I haven't seen in so long they might as well be NPCs in a scripted loop. I don't even know if they still manage whatever it is I need. This isn't even my job, it's just what I need to do in support of my actual job, since nobody can just have one role anymore.

We're supposed to have faith that God/tech will provide. Robots were supposed to do difficult or dangerous work so we could live a life of leisure! But instead tech is eliminating the unskilled jobs. There's no time for mental breakdowns. The cracks are starting to show.

Life feels too much like I'm trying to multiclass in four different MMOs while fending off real-life pickpockets and patching holes in the roof-- all at the same time.
Then maybe the journalist should have done that, instead of just hunting headlines.

It's not surprising that the PS/2 model 80 would have MS-DOS games compatibility problems, even if running PC-DOS or MS-DOS rather than OS/2.

The Model 80 was one of the first-gen PS/2 systems (which tried to replace the original IBM PC's fairly open industry standard architecture with things like MCA).

IIRC the Model 80 was also IBM's first '386 PC, though IBM had been beaten to the '386 PC (first by Compaq and Advanced Logic Research, IIRC).

Also, for a long time, MS-DOS games didn't necessarily work out of the box even on more conventional PCs, and you might have to mess with drivers, IRQs, etc.
