Islam is external (to America, mostly), Christianity is internal.

If you make it about Islam instead of Christianity, the solution becomes "bomb more arabs", rather than "watch out and don't accidentally become this".
I think the point is that diffusion models improved at a very fast rate, how do we think things will look if LLMs (in whatever form) see the same rate of improvements?
Yeah they've definitely gotten better over the years. At one point Samsung felt damn near unusable, but now it's a pretty good experience. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S-6 Lite tablet that is fantastic! It's remarkably close to convergence as well, something I don't think SS gets enough credit for, and is a really cool feature.

I do worry about the privacy/spyware though. Google and Apple have both shown some attention and love on privacy (Google's data controls are really incredible IMHO), but Samsung still seems to be going old-school vacuum and monetize.

Writing Clean Code with ChatGPT: A Journey Through Crafting Interpreters
In other words... you become educated by the other people who populate your world -- family, friends, coworkers. Thus its their words and opinions that form the basis for your beliefs and your world view. You don't shape your world view as much as your familiars do.

No doubt in today's world where so much info/opinion can be self-selected (you tune into media of your own choosing), each of us do shape our own world more than in olden times. But I suspect we surround ourselves with media that resonates positively with the people we share our lives with. Otherwise if you adopt perspective arising from those 'foreign' ideas, you run the risk of clashing with the ideas of friends & family, thereby making you unpopular, dismissed, and even shunned. Thus we adopt the ideas that reward us most, socially.
As someone with a lot of focus potential, its mildly frustrating to read these accounts because even I'm terribly distracted, if I let myself be. But I've been meditating for a while and, in conjunction with a lot of discipline around avoiding social media, have been able to hit a sweet spot.

I wonder though if I never discovered these two things, and simply absorbed everything I read online and convinced myself I had ADHD and got on meds. It's modern life, getting people down. There's simply no way to break through without recognizing that life is inherently distracting, and finding strategies around that.

This is not dismissing the reality of ADHD, however, only to note that medication is overprescribed and that many confuse biology with extremely targeted algorithms designed to capture attention.

And then there are the drug companies who capitalize on workers required to maintain long periods of focus; knowing they are vulnerable to performance pressure, they flood the industry with marketing. Next thing you know, an entirely healthy person's attention is destroyed, because the new baseline is oriented around a stimulant which they do not need, and which operate contrary to someone who actually has ADHD, which meds benefit. Like the opiate crisis, its all just an everyday American tragedy.

May be a part of why so many people with psychiatric disorders (especially undiagnosed or untreated) often use nicotine and/or alcohol to cope. They both interact heavily with the GABAergic system. Alcohol also inhibits the activity of glutamate and reduces extracellular levels in certain brain regions. Too much glutamate in the brain can cause 'failure of different neurotransmission systems' and is neurotoxic.

It's too bad self-medicating with these substances comes with such awful downsides.
There is a big software discoverability crisis, not just websites. The same software gets reinvented a thousand times a day by the industry because that battle-tested FOSS software is lost in the depths of the internet.

Show HN: Vocal timing conditioned audio diffusion in real-time
We've been cooking up a new experiment where you can record yourself singing or talking and the app will generate vocals to match your words and timings. It's backed by an end-to-end latent diffusion model that generates audio conditioned on both the style and the lyric timings - and it's quite fast. Your actual voice and melody are not used, just the transcription, and we don't store the recording.

We've found it's a really natural way to control the output you want and dream up a song concept. Curious to hear what you think!

Some are elected by the great unwashed masses and some others are appointed. You must examine the rules for the particular judgeship to know.
Moderation and votes are two different things. Moderators only concern themselves with spam and outstanding violations of rules, that are mostly politeness rules. It's not like there are rules against certain ideology.

Commenters and voters are the same thing and if we were all hard-left, any different viewpoint would be downvoted into oblivion, no matter what the moderators could think.

My guess is that the people around here is a motley crew. Average would be leaning left, but much less than Reddit, to compare with something else.
Seriously, especially with Tesla! I'm imagining a scenario where this becomes the standard and then Elon decides to charge everyone $2.99 per-use or some such nonsense.

Tangent to this idea, is the idea that if you consume news from an extremely biased source, as long as their biases align with your biases, it seems like a "neutral" or unbiased source and you simply can't believe people who say that your news is biased.

In actuality, if you were actually consuming an unbiased news source, you would be exposed to ideas and arguments you disagree with, you would be exposed to all sides of issues. You would read things you like, and things you don't like. It would make arguments for things you believe in, and good faith arguments for things you don't.
Honestly, I think the primary problem in the US is parents completely offloading the responsibility of educating their kids onto the teacher. You need to have the appropriate push and environment at home for a successful education. You would never see that in South or East Asia.
The CDC link says they are two separate classes (one is pronounced as a word, the other one is pronounced by reading the letters)

The Writer's Digest link says that initialisms are the parent class, and that acronyms are the special case of specifically pronouncing the letters as a word.

So, root comment is correct (gwern is looking for initialisms) and GP is incorrect (initialisms are not a subset of acronyms in either definition linked by GP).
That's very obvious reducto ad absurd. The FCC has a clear mandate with regard to radio regulation. Visible light is clearly outside that domain.

This is a great point. Not the final answer, maybe, but an important observation: that paradox often stems from ignorance.

It could be argued (it is sometimes argued) that ignorance fuels creativity ("he did it because he didn't know it was impossible", etc.); but more often than not, creativity stems from a deep familiarity with a given topic, and the ability to detect / invent connections between different subject matters that are not obvious, or indeed visible to anyone else.
> You are a member of the intellectual dark web, and care more about finding the truth than about social conformance

Isn't this a declaration of what social conformance you prefer? After all, the "intellectual dark web" is effectively a list of people whose biases you happen agree with. Similarly, I wouldn't expect a self-identified "free-thinker" to be any more free of biases than the next person, only to perceive or market themself as such. Bias is only perceived as such from a particular point in a social graph.

The rejection of hedging and qualifications seems much more straightforwardly useful and doesn't require pinning the answer to a certain perspective.
I figured, but my perception of Manhattan is that neighborhoods can change drastically from one street block to the next, so while I know the upper east side is generally, well, upper, I wasn't confident in the exact location. Also, I was just flat out lazy and didn't bother looking up the street numbers on a map, where I would have realized the proximity to Central Park.
People have lived in e.g. bedsits in the UK for years and still managed to store enough utensils and spices for their own use. There are even vandwellers and overlanders who are gourmets and pleasurably cook in the space they have.

When I visit the US I am always struck by how much stuff people own there, and a lot of that is kitchen stuff specifically. But most of the world -- including many other developed countries -- make do with less and don't necessarily even think about it.
What do you mean the Tesla standard is coming to most brands?

I was under the impression that Tesla is introducing new stations that have CCS chargers. Either with multiple cables or an adapter. You start the station using the Tesla mobile app.

I need a double-shot of copium, stat!
I don't know about you, but I know myself. No knowledge I have to spread is something people need to see. I am not the arbiter of what knowledge is good. I'm not some kind of genius. Everything I know, I have learned from others. I am not the best source to learn about basically anything. For anything I can share, there is someone else who is a world renowned expert who knows better than I.

Taking attention away from those people towards myself would actually be a detriment to spreading good knowledge.

As best as I recall, every time I've heard people argue for LVT, they have wanted to replace other taxes, not supplement them. If you're going to keep the other taxes, well, land is usually already taxed in most places, and the tax is usually somewhat proportional to the value of the land. If you keep other taxes, what does an LTV do that we aren't already doing?

And your original claim was:

> Therefore, an LVT wouldn't distort market incentives, unlike other taxes. By shifting the tax burden onto land, we could potentially reduce the distortionary effects of other taxes and promote economic growth.

If you keep the other taxes, that benefit is reduced, compared to if other taxes were eliminating. (Though, on re-reading, I do see several bits of language that indicate you were thinking about not eliminating other taxes.)
> Self-diagnosis is not a diagnosis.

Nit: Self-diagnosis is the first step towards a formal diagnosis. You don't go to the doctor to get antibiotics before self-diagnosing that you're sick.

That said, as useful as a formal diagnosis is (getting proper help, and even meds), don't skip it if you can afford to do it.
Also it's unclear if there are other factors worth tracking, since the graph only lists a few.

Heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory disease (not including covid), accidents (which I suppose includes drug OD), Alzheimer's, and diabetes all have higher death rates that the combination of all suicide+homicide (which again, is sort of strange to join together). The first two alone are 600k+ each.

A bunch of those affect primarily the elderly though, so won't hit the average life expectancy as hard.

If you track homicide separately, it's not even in the top 20 of causes of death. Suicide is not in the top 10.
The GDPR is really complicated. There's plenty of publicly available information you can use without explicit user consent. What's true is that many of GDPR's rules, particularly the disclosure of data sources and erasure requests, don't get an exemption just because the data is publicly available.

For example, while they can't just divulge my name & age in the news, the captions under pictures in news articles can often still have people's names & ages under them without explicit user consent. Tabloids would likely cease to exist if it were any other way. ;-)

You'll need a Delaware C-Corp to receive funding. If funding isn't on the cards, a simple and cheap LLC is the best. Delaware C-Corp has a bunch of reporting requirements and a scary default tax treatment. It's not for the uninitiated.

As someone else noted, Taiwan-based company. If you must have a US entity, LLC is the best for a one-person company. If you do raise funding or become big, it's trivial to convert to a C-Corp.
I found the prose here a little too flowery to draw out much meaning. The intro did strike me as pretty questionable though:

> For the great majority of people, believing in the truths of science is unavoidably an act of faith.

I get the point that most people do not and will never fully understand the basis of most scientific facts. Only a very small percentage of the world has a complete grasp on the evidence for natural selection, climate change, the big bang, etc... . It reminds me of Mac's presentation in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where he asks whether Dennis has ever seen the fossil records, and follows up with

> Let me get this straight Mr Reynolds. You get your information from a book written by men you've never met. And you take their words as truth, based on a willingness to believe. A desire to accept. A leap of... dare I say it... faith?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjg0XlZ0Uv4

But there's a subtle difference between this and acts of faith: if science is conducted properly, it lays out in public the available objective evidence for its truths and invite anyone to come and investigate, and falsify the claims if they have sufficient evidence to the contrary. I could understand the basis for climate change if I took enough time out of work and family and did my research. With religious truths, on the other hand, investigations reach a dead end with "this is simply a matter of faith" or "you just have to feel this to believe it".
Both approaches are viable, but RISC-V's approach is better, as it provides higher code density without imposing a significant increase in complexity in exchange.

Higher code density is valuable. E.g.:

- The decoders can see more by looking at a window of code of the same size, or we can have a narrowed window.

- We can have less cache and save area and power. We can also clock the cache higher, enabled by it being smaller, lowering latency cycles.

- Smaller binaries or rom image.

Soon to be available (2024) large, high performance implementations will demonstrate RISC-V advantages well.
Honestly we need a law that says that _all_ keys used in your car (software and physical) need to be given to you. This should include the keys to sign the updates, manage the CAN networks, etc.

Even ignoring the automaker lobby's inevitable opposition, this would never happen because one could use it to defeat things like emissions controls or the coming anti-impairment technology[1].

And then the Russians shipped those mines to Siberia? Impressive!

A lot of Germany's gas storage facilities were owned by Russian companies, or rather Germans subsidiaries of Russian companies. As soon as the war in Ukraine hit, those have been quickly nationalized. What makes you think US uranium mines would be any different? Or that there are now export restrictions forburanium in the first place?
Not sure about location data, but I'd be more concerned that they list "contents of messages and email" among the data that they sell:

Totally agree.
I stopped counting long time ago.
In Europe, yes. In, fact, European Teslas all come with CCS connectors now.

In the USA, though, nearly every major vehicle manufacturer has announced a transition to NACS, the Tesla connector standard.
I probably could have been clearer with my point.
A park is never the highest and best use based on gain. A LVT would make it _harder_ to create things that may be valuable in ways not measured by the market.
Yes, that's why the NACS announcements are good for us Tesla owners. A lot of Tesla owners are worried about cars from other manufactures filling up Tesla charging stations. That's probably a valid concern, but I'm happy about the reduced reliance on Tesla.
It seems surprising that this would work, because in my experience these LLMs don't really have good prompt-crafting skills.

Can you please share a ChatGPT example where that was successful, including having the new prompt outperform the old one?
Allowing other brands to charge at Tesla stations will probably have some impact.

Changing to the Tesla connector on other stations will most emphatically not.
The battle over right to repair is a fight over your car's data
The main thing about these chargers is that nobody is monitoring them. At a gas station, an attendant is usually less than 20 feet away, and if anyone has a problem, they come talk to that person immediately. That attendant usually can't fix the problem on their own, but they can take steps to get it fixed quickly.

By contrast, electric charging stations are typically at the far end of a vast sea of parking. There's nothing, and nobody around, so vandals take advantage, and even when they don't, things just break and there's nobody around to tell about it.

And the whole payment scheme is ridiculous. Imagine a gas station that didn't accept cash, or that you needed an app to pay for. Again, the main problem is that there's nobody around to account for when things go wrong.
Same, coffee is quite sedating.
I was (and in some ways still am) a OnePlus fanboi, but I won't buy their phones anymore either, not unless they reverse some decisions. Ceasing to provide factory images alone was a major blow for me as I strongly prefer to root, and without factory images root becomes a risky proposition.

But the awful bugginess on my OP7 Pro was really horrible. Even just the front-facing fingerprint reader was a sad change. I really miss my OP6, but I had to switch carriers and that phone wasn't supported. The Pixel 5a and OP6 are tied for favorite device. I'll be running this 5a until it completely dies.
I've heard reports of very high drain on cellular, but tbh it isn't something that I've noticed in real world usage.

Maybe some of that is the difference between the P8 and P8Pro. I'd guess high modem usage isn't as big of an impact on the higher battery P8Pro.
