> "context dissonance"

I like that and think it fits here.

Some people can't imagine picking up litter or caring for the elderly
as anything but torture and humiliation. For others, the chance to do
it, to feel valued is what makes life. Context might be that you
became unemployed and just got sick of seeing garbage in your street.

During the pandemic cabin fever drove me out to do volunteering at the
church and vaccine drop-ins.

I volunteered a lot in my 20s. Homeless patrols handing out blankets
etc. The typical "Kibbutznik" doesn't go to dig soil expecting it to
be a picnic, but to satisfy a bunch of other drives. At a certain age
you have a ton of energy, a desire to meet people, and the world you
know seems too small.

Of course that's always a good recruitment chance for armies, but I
was taken with William James' "Moral equivalent of war", at least the
abstract ideas and insightful social psychology. There are thousands
of environmental and rebuilding projects that need doing - but won't
get done - because it falls outside the realm of "capital".

The problem is when profitable interests and corporate workflows
intersect with altruistic labour supply. It's obvious the most cynical
sort of exploitation is afoot. Many large organised charities suffer
from being poisoned that way, I've heard.

I guess before volunteering for an org these days one should do a lot
of diligence, check out who runs things, who they're associated with,
and whose ethics are behind whet you see on face value.

If you visit them they'll become "ugly mass tourism places". Better to not identify them and stay at your area, unless absolutely necessary (i.e. not for tourism).

If you really want to reduce your carbon emissions you can start smoking, that will cut years off your life expectancy and, as a consequence, your lifetime carbon emissions.
A lot of the London candy store thing is about not paying the very expensive business rates to the council. They are all owned by foreign controlled companies which just go bust come enforcement time.

They are not much of a guide to bad areas, for example American Candyland (bad) is opposite Selfridges (popular). Streetview: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.514156,-0.1516145,3a,75y,1...
To me the biggest threat is using AI to make decisions with no human recourse. Do you want ChatGPT to be the sole judge deciding if you can get a mortgage or what interest rate it should be? Do you want ChatGPT to auto-delete your YouTube video with zero recourse or appeal process?
Go on tinder. If you swipe through 100 profiles and see a place more than once, avoid it like the plague. Probably him/her too.
This is a great point.

I get that companies want to price their products in a way that they don't leave surplus value on the table (i.e. the more value a customer gets out of it, the more expensive the product gets), but the fundamental problem is that it's... so hard to actually "judge" the value that's being created by using the product in many cases.

In such cases, probably for the best that companies err on the side of caution with some formula they're sure is below the actual value but isn't too far away.
Why is it bizarre to consider the limitations inherent in the input data on which the model is trained?

Sure the thing is limited, the study is demonstration of this (and general purpose abilities have been claimed for LLMs at various point).

I was pushing back against the "it's like a blind person" anthropomorphizing argument [edit: especially the assumption these things learn through experience and reflection which the parent also makes]. Maybe if the thing "had eyes", it could learn spatial information and maybe it couldn't (though it would take a lot of work to make that metaphor meaningful). The thing certainly doesn't learn text in the fashion that human learns speech since humans don't digest the entire Internet before they can speak.
>it’s about avoiding electronic banking networks and pulling cash back into the system

So it's beneficial to society!
yeah, I wonder where this type of miss-information comes from. Do people simply make things up out of thin air to suit their biases and then proclaim them to be true?
You seriously don't see a conflict of interest with a board member and CEO creating a separate company that sells to the company he is the CEO of? That is the definition of conflict of interest.
And there are also tons of Irish pubs!

Therefore, all of Ireland is a ugly mass tourist place.

QED.
Same goes for Eastern Europe, and I have the same recommendation, avoid them like the plague.

Also (and maybe this only applies for Bucharest, but good to know regardless), avoid changing currency (USD to local RON, in Romania's case) just as you get off the airplane, the exchange rates inside the airport are rip-offs pure and simple. The currency exchange shops inside Bucharest proper are more than decent, though, no rip-offs there.
Yeah, I definitely agree. I was just responding to the user who was saying that without Microsoft, OpenAI cannot survive.

vast differences between filmmaking and video games because the latter hasn’t been able to tell stories and make consumers care about the characters

I'm not sure about this one. More than twenty years later, I still fondly recall characters like Imoen, Minsc, or Aribeth.
We can be civil, we can agree to disagree, and still work on thing together in areas we do not disagree.

Or we can fall to "he said, she said" blame games about whose mean tweets killed civil society, embracing unexamined the assumption that "mean tweets" were a cause, not a symptom.

Look at the "abortion debate". It's still festering, largely because we've not yet had the central debate of "when and what is human." It's so much easier and more satisfying to mis-characterize the motivations of opponents, indulging in emotion, than to talk about the central point: people disagree on that question.

If we resolved to compromise and live with different answers then the political parties wouldn't have the reliable fundraising item to lean on anymore.

This approach has polluted nearly all of politics. wrestling with the problem is more profitable than solving it.
I was last there three to four years ago, nudity was required except in the pool, there you had to wear a swimsuit.
It's not a surprise that corporations prioritize financial interests over the lives of employees and retirees because they can. The mistake employees make is depending on hollow, unenforceable promises for financial and health security. The current only recourse is a lengthy, costly gamble in the courts that could be delayed until the plaintiff runs out of money or dies.

It behooves potential employees to instead form worker-owned co-ops, that like credit unions, have different interests aligned to serve their members.
Is that why it’s acing all the standardized tests with 90th percentiles? Because it’s average? Should be 50% no?

There are plenty of American banks that will reimburse ATM fees. It’s an essential feature IMO.
It's asking a lot because the vast majority of folks can't not work unless they also want to stop eating or become homeless after the end of the season not because they implicitly lack the commitment. It's also unpaid labor for a government with a 6 trillion dollar budget.

Most of the old folks retiring at 70 aren't doing any of these labor intensive affairs so its mostly a task for the idle children of the upper middle class to rich. Are we feting people for being born on third base again?

That was a pretty bad example. Grocery stores often pressure farmers to make harsh discounts on bulk sales. I rather pay a bit more at the farmers market instead. Also, I rather buy organic when possible. People pay more for ethical reasons all the time.

But in this case if you don't agree with the price increase, as OP further justifies, I think it's totally fair to just go elsewhere.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean to say. To me it's a reasonable question asking whether text to speech models can complete a missing part of some existing speech audio, or make it go on for longer, rather than only generating speech from scratch. I don't see a connection to your faster apps analogy.

Fwiw, I imagine this is possible, at least to some extent. I was recently playing with xtts and it can generate speaker embeddings from short periods of speech, so you could use those to provide a logical continuation to existing audio. However, I'm not sure it's possible or easy to manage the "seams" between what is generated and what is preexisting very easily yet.

It's certainly not a misguided question to me. Perhaps you could be less curt and offer your domain knowledge to contribute to the discussion?

Edit: I see you've edited your post to be more informative, thanks for sharing more of your thoughts.
I’ve got a 64gb Mac M2. All of the openllm models seem to hang on startup or on API calls. I got them working through GCP colab. Not sure if it’s a configuration issue or if the hardware just isn’t up to it?
Common low pressure sodium and white LED street lights are about the same in efficiency: around 140 lm/W. LED street lighting pollutes the night sky with light that astronomers find impossible to fully compensate for, impacts wildlife (and probably not in a good way), inhibits low-light vision adaption in drivers and pedestrians, and gives public areas all the attractiveness of an operating theatre. All this for a dubious promise of savings after tens of millions of initial investment from each local authority.

The dome pool is also the one part where you are required to wear a swimsuit. I'm pretty sure the reason is that if you didn't, let's put it like this, that water would become a health hazard pretty quick.
Hmmm yeah. Google Travel used to provide very useful n-days itinerary on a city level, where it plans out, and shows on a map, the most efficient way to visit a city.

That feature seems to have been nuked and I’m sad.
I was in Mallorca this summer. And I have shopped from Spar across Europe in the past.

The various "Spar" in Mallorca are mom & pop mini markets with 20% higher prices than the Mercadona or Lidl. Walking outside such a "Spar" one you SEE that this is not you "central-europe-1000 sqm shop" but a rip-off with a Spar label on it.

I haven't paid attention on the ATMs though. I believe that with the prevalence of Conotoxia, Revolut, and the likes, and the fact that everywhere* in Mallorca you can pay with your phone/watch, it makes carrying cash unnecessary

*and I mean flea-market that sells crap that only tourists would buy, or bread/cheese/snacks/etc.
Current Apple software is not particularly good and hardly competitive in functionality with alternatives. That's before running into network effects.
If we have to look at the Apple Music client, it's much worse than Spotify, funny that they achieved that... And try to make big Numbers spreadsheets for the lols; it's really not hard to see why everyone is using Excel even though it's uglier and more complicated to get results that look good. At the end of the day, looks don't make the work, but slow crashing software do make the work much harder...

The truth is that Apple became greedier they also pulled out investment EVERYWHERE, including their own software. They only do stuff if they think they can make billions out of them nowadays. Most of the interesting stuff are leftovers from the Jobs era.
Seattle had a Hard Rock Cafe for a couple of decades. I never saw anyone go there before, seems like most of the tourists just stand in line waiting to visit the first Starbucks.
This is a reminder that the carrying capacity of a healthy planet is much less than 8 billion people and radical change will be the only solution.

We could do with fewer people. In 2000 there was ~6.1 billion and the world was just fine.
I know wood heat is unpopular on HN, but firewood is a great example of what you're suggesting. There's an old saying that it heats you four times: once when you cut it, once when you split it, once when you stack it, and once more when you burn it.

I've been implementing and using vertical tabs since around 1988, with I released a commercial product with tabbed windows, the NeWS version of UniPress Emacs, and used it to develop a hypermedia authoring environment for HyperTIES at the UMD Human Computer Interaction Lab.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_(interface)#/media/File:Hy...

Vertically tabbed windows combine synergistically well with pie menus, and are great for window management, especially when you have many windows.

They are purposefully NOT patented, since the idea is so fucking obvious, but it's disappointing they took so many decades to catch on finally. Still there aren't any decent desktop window managers I know of that implement tabs the right way. (tvtwm is not the right way!)

The later NeWS Toolkit versions from the early 1990's let you drag the tabs around to any side of the window you like: left, right, top or bottom, to any position along any edge. The user should be able to decide which edge and where the tabs are attached to for each window, it should not be hard wired like the tabs in VSCode and web browsers typically are. Being able to choose which edge the tab is on and where the tab is gives users better more flexible ways to organize and manipulate their windows.

HCIL Demo - HyperTIES Authoring with UniPress Emacs on NeWS, tabbed windows, pie menus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhmU2B79EDU

I had a video of the NeWS tabbed windows, demonstrating dragging the tabs to different window edges, but youtube took it down because it contained copyrighted music (Herbie Hancock's Rockit).

Oh, here's the original video you can download from my server:

Vitamin K2 and Magnesium are required for proper utilization of vitamin D. If they are not present, Calcium can build up in the bloodstream causing multiple possible issues. Were these prescribed along with it? If not, the doctor trying to naively solve a problem without any actual critical thinking. Which is understandable given the breadth of things they have to deal with, but unfortunate. Boron may be another significant required co-factor, but I’m not read up on that one.

Basically all vitamins and minerals have very complex interactions, and if you start taking megadoses of one, then it can surprising effects like:

* Cause accelerated utilization of a co-vitamin, causing low levels in these, and rendering the megadoses vitamin ineffective.

* Block or bypass the pathways that utilize a vitamin, causing to high a levels of another vitamin.

* Rendering measurably normal levels of a vitamin ineffective, through competition or exhaustion of the resources the secondary vitamin relies on.

B vitamins for example have complex interactions with each other. I cannot offhand remember the specifics, but if I recall correctly things like “energy” drinks stuffed with megadoses of a vitamin can result in the symptoms of deficiency of another B vitamin despite having normal levels.
I hardly disagree. We should have no speed limits and punishment for those who overestimate their driving skills and cause damage.
Obviously the gangs are made up of those immigrants, not native ethnic Swedish people. With the assumption that all sides are painfully aware of that, the connection/causality is being demonstrated very clearly in Sweden today. That's what the article is showing. The argument is that the left side is being disingenuous.
Yes but creating the processing power with which they can realize their vision is. In interviews Sam’s opponent at Open AI Ilya Sutskever has said lack of hardware and energy for them could become major factors impeding progress in AI. It’s obvious how more players in the chip field help them, especially if the manufacturer has intimate knowledge of what they need or would like to see made. Even if Sam is gone for good they should work toward doing this anyway.
Lisp, JavaScript, and Python are all dynamically typed, so I made the suggestion with that apparent preference in mind.

The example is interesting. Here's how I might have done something similar in JavaScript. Currying is part of the JavaScript language, and I composed a list of curried functions using reduce.

const multiply = a => b => a * b
const subtract = b => a => a - b
const quadrupleAndSubtractTwo = a => [multiply(2), multiply(2), subtract(2)].reduce((x, f) => f(x), a)
const quadrupleAndSubtractTwoFromAll = numbers => numbers.map(quadrupleAndSubtractTwo)

> quadrupleAndSubtractTwoFromAll([3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
> [ 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 ]
Teaching LLMs to Refuse Unknown Questions (TLDR: Train on "I Dunno" as Well)
> Our research is motivated by the observation that previous instruction tuning methods force the model to complete a sentence no matter whether the model knows the knowledge or not.

And so... adding the random samples that include "I don't know" to the training datasets brings the accuracy on unknown questions from <10% to over 90%
That really depends on the company. In many companies, work and worth don’t correspond to the org chart. And everyone knows who’s actually doing the work and why the CEO is there/how they got there. Most companies aren’t large tech companies.
