The only real way to fix this in the US is via election reform.

The GOP is trying to create an apartheid state where minority rural areas dictate the laws for the majorities that live in urban areas while they extract resources from those areas.

They know this is incredibly unpopular, so they don't even pretend they're trying to get the majority of the vote in most places. Instead, they've been trying to set vote thresholds to > 60% for ballot measures and stripping authority from all elected offices that aren't subject to gerrymandering.
ask it to summarize an article like this one. It straight up refuses. I gave the link. It refuses. I gave the text, it says "I am only LLM. I can't do that Dave"

Watching a demo video, and of course it makes a plausible but factually incorrect statement that likely wasn't even noticed by the editors, within the first two minutes. Talking about a blue rubber duck it says it floats because "it's made of a material that is less dense than water". False, the material of rubber ducks is more dense than water. It floats because it contains air.

If I was going to release a highly produced marketing demo video to impress people I would definitely make sure that it doesn't contain subtle factual errors that aren't called out at all...
Im a little disappointed to be honest, the improvement to GPT-4 is not as steep as I had anticipated, not enough to entice me to switch models in production.
It was very unconventional: I applied for job ads until one of them hired me.
You're assuming that the shadow government can't or won't institute regime change when it's threatened. The US Government killed a president, why wouldn't it blackmail congress as well?
There are situations where keeping order is useful. For example, human-editable json config files.

I also gave an example of two implementations that are compatible for a useful subset of keys. By the way, SQLite JSONB keeps object keys in insertion order, similar to Python: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38547254
Depends on the industy, the difficulty of the problem, the ease of replicating a solution - and the barriers you can erect getting there first.
"rent" is the most common mental model that most accurately describes the transaction.

It may not have 100% fidelity, but people understand what renting means instinctively.

A different term, even "licensing", loses that impact (which is precisely why different language is preferred by the contract holders, to hide the true intent).
Yes. E.g. there are cases when it's much better to lose your disk encryption key and the entire disk's contents with it than to let a third party see it. So the disk encryption key may live in a TPM. This is supported by LUKS, for example.
You still wear a mask? You're on the wrong side of that psyop, at least. But I'm not mandating that you unmask: if your face diaper makes you feel safe, by all means wear one.

It's not the type of questions to ask an LLM, and yet I see this everywhere.
Digital ownership seems like a wonderful use case for blockchain technology, and it baffles me that there hasn't been a DRM company yet that's jumped on this idea.
I would have thought that such “corrupt unions” snipes would be off-topic here but you do you.

It's illegal now, but maybe not forever. Plus, illegal things still happen.

Or, maybe more likely than discriminating based on demography, what if certain "Obamacare" provisions are repealed and insurance companies are allowed to adjust prices based on genes, including the genes of relatives.

It's all a little far fetch, but only a little. My point is privacy is important and even those "with nothing to hide" might second guess their view when they imagine being discriminated against because of their genes. I think we probably agree on this point but got caught up in the details of a hypothetical.

I just want to underscore that. DeepMind's research output within the last month is staggering:

2023-11-14: GraphCast, word leading weather prediction model, published in Science

2023-11-15: Student of Games: unified learning algorithm, major algorithmic breath-through, published in Science

2023-11-16: Music generation model, seemingly SOTA

2023-11-29: GNoME model for material discovery, published in Nature

2023-12-06: Gemini, the most advanced LLM according to own benchmarks
I didn't know ChatGPT + Edge did that, pretty cool!

And yes, with CopilotKit you can implement the same to any text area in any app, that would work on any browser (+ other key features).

I can tell you that CopilotTextarea works very, very well if you give it the right context - but since I hadn't known about Edge's feature, I can't compare.

Even long term, I think this is functionality that will be better offered by the app itself rather than the browser - bc the app can control the relevant context beyond what's visible on the screen (e.g. RAG on users' backend state), customize the prompt, and potentially even design dedicated LLM chains (as needed).
This seems to be in roughly the same space as the radius project[1] out of Microsoft. They are a data structure rather than a language, but the idea of merging the application and infrastructure seems similar. Is there a place for one application/infrastructure model that includes integration details in the manner of Apache Camel[2] that we can all get behind?

> Want to smoke weed?

The tyranny of the masses is still a tyranny. I'd personally like to move to a state where all smoking, but at least weed smoking, is illegal. I really don't like second hand smoke, especially when it smells and hangs as much as weed smoke does.
Rail operators are also really good at tracking their trains. There are some issues because a) they started much earlier and have longer upgrade cycles, so in some places the tech is ancient; and b) there's less pressure to interoperate.

That said, there is good data with standard APIs in some places, for example across most of the European rail network. I find it very plausible that a similarly funded company from Switzerland or Estonia would add rail information before they add flight information, and if they had come out with the equivalent of Apple/Google Wallet they might have started out with cooperation with rail services to store your rail ticket in your phone.

I see two solutions, there may be more:

1) Sony refunds the price. This is the least that should happen.

2) Else, the purchase should be honored by Discovery and it should provide an alternate means for users to access this content by transferring the purchase OR provide download for use without restriction.

In parallel, there should be a class action filed.
Checkout Cursive on Intellij. The $100 on Cursive is the best $100 I ever spent on a tool.
Can you explain it a little? Because I'm not sure I get it. As far as I know peertube is centralized with a P2P element on top, but P2P only works if at least one side has an open port.
Correct, Copilot here stands for AI "second brain" that "co-pilots" the app alongside the user.

(the abstract idea behind GitHub Copilot).
Good one. I have adapted to a system prompt:

"
You are an AI that outputs questions with responses. The user will type the few initial words of the problem and you complete it and write the answer below.
"

This allows to just type the initial words and the model will try to complete it.
Although, "file to hard-drive" isn't possible if you use BitLocker, LVM or ZFS Encryption.

More a reason too.
I'm referring to the I'm a Mac ads, which came much later.
If you stop thinking about LLMs as AI, and more as an incredible tool for doing retrieval I hope one day that when you see a deeply informative post from a government site it comes standard with a chat dialog so you can quickly ask your questions and be directed to relevant chunks of information.

It's also crazy to me that people are frequently arguing over what is the best security app to use for communication arguing over privacy maximalist viewpoints but not considering the old and have forgotten the major flaw we learned about from PGP: can't decrypt, please resend unencrypted. It doesn't matter how good your encryption is if no one will use it. Pareto is a bitch. (This is a crack at the Signal vs Threema or whatever app is hot this month and we discuss next month. But when usernames?)
Firmware and BIOS vendors, world renown for the quality of their software.
This is an absolutely terrible take. Just because the mechanism doesn't provide perfect security doesn't mean a) it provides none, or b) it isn't even trying to provide security.
I too resisted emacs for years while writing Common Lisp in vim, but eventually I ported my vim config line by line to the emacs lisp implementation of the vi standard
The first is maybe a good example of where an LLM integrated search engine makes sense. Because "compare two movies" has flickchart as the third option for me. But it is nowhere to be seen for "compare two movie posters" which is how I read your search originally (and indeed flickchart is about ranking movies not the posters themselves ... Obviously).

Anyways an LLM clearly teased that out whereas if you misremember or misread something a straight search is going to be bad.

Most of my searches are the opposite. I was to know about an obscure movie from the 80s with a toy helicopter. Google very neatly suggests Defense Play (correct) but most LLMs I've tried end up just suggesting very popular films with a helicopter and it ends up being quite difficult to get it to give me information about obscure stuff. Also with that same search the LLM suggests a bunch of incorrect films since (and I figured this out later) it turns out that it was all sourced from a single forum thread from the 90s where a bunch of the posts suggested movies that don't have toy helicopters in them. Go figure.
It depends on what's being evaluated, but from what I've read, Mistral is also fairly competitive at a much smaller size.

One of the biggest problems right now is that there isn't really a great way to evaluate the performance of models, which (among other issues) results in every major foundation model release claiming to be competitive with the SOTA.
I think some of the material is copyrighted. The broad outline is explained here:

The website addresses some of the myths including of calorie in/out because not all calories are equal and also every type of food can lead to weight gain.

My own experience is that I eat much more and don’t go hungry. I eat every 4 hours.

Btw ketogenic is not equal to keto diet. Sometimes people confuse the terms. Most of my fat comes from two spoons of olive oil I eat daily.
Apple AirDrop was basically this, but they neutered it at the request of the Chinese government. It still works, but it automatically turns itself off every 30 minutes, so you can't (for instance) opt-in to allowing people to automatically push uncensored news to your phone during your daily commute (without interacting with the phone every half hour).

(It isn't technically a mesh, since it doesn't support multi-hop routing. Still, it is peer to peer, and doesn't require a data connection.)
> Generating content for tabletop gaming with my friends (especially wacky ideas, like character names themed after items on the Taco Bell menu)

I've been going ham with this. Pay for ChatGPT Plus for work, so GPT-4's been helping me design encounters, plan sessions, and brainstorm ideas for one-shots. It gives me a sort of bland, vanilla idea for something, I suggest a twist on it, it goes, "oh great idea, here that is with your changes:" and I iterate with it from there.

Likewise I love theming characters, plotlines, and settings after songs, bands and albums, so I'll dump in a bunch of lyrics and ask ChatGPT to help me intertwine subtle references into descriptions, names, and plot points.

Operating a surveillance apparatus isn't an enumerated power of the federal government. The courts screwed up by reading its enumerated powers so unreasonably broadly that this even came up.
Trading in gold was banned in 1933 in the United States. The price was set by the government at $35/oz. The ban wasn't lifted until 1974, at which time the price skyrocketed.

The Amiga had a few graphics modes with rectangular pixels, some upright (e.g. 640x200) and some across (e.g. 320x400, both are NTSC modes). That would be 256 or 512 vertical pixels on PAL machines, respectively.
But if they fail in their refusal, we would not know. So you have to treat it as if they have already failed and plan accordingly.

coreboot just initializes the hardware, the logo is something that the payload displays: https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads

The most typically used payload is u-boot: https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/

u-boot supports specifying splash screens via "splashfile", but it seems only bmp and maybe some raw image format are supported: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/2f0282922b2c458eea7f85...

In other words, no support for png, which this exploit uses :). That doesn't mean that coreboot/u-boot aren't written in C though which is a language known for its vulnerabilities.
How real is it though? This blog post says

In this post, we’ll explore some of the prompting approaches we used in our Hands on with Gemini demo video.

which makes it sound like they used text + image prompts and then acted them out in the video, as opposed to Gemini interpreting the video directly.

Sure. If you take the tour, a guide demonstrates it. Or at least did in the 80s.

6-MSITC in wasabi increases memory by 18% in over 60s
A recent double-blind, randomized study involved 72 healthy subjects, aged 60 to 80. Half of them took 100 milligrams of wasabi extract at bedtime, with the rest receiving a placebo.

After three months, the treated group registered "significant" boosts in two aspects of cognition, working (short-term) memory, and the longer-lasting episodic memory, based on standardized assessments for language skills, concentration and ability to carry out simple tasks. No improvement was seen in other areas of cognition, such as inhibitory control (the ability to stay focused), executive function or processing speed.

Subjects who received the wasabi treatment saw their episodic memory scores jump an average of 18%, Nouchi said, and scored on average 14% higher than the placebo group overall.
Never understood this take. Telling companies to stop pressuring them with ad dollars is ideologically consistent. He's saying if you can't handle freedom of expression on the platform then don't use the platform. He's not forcing them to do anything, it's the other way around.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you meant by "hostage". Not sure who is being held hostage.

Being pro-mega corporations moderating what conversations on the internet is allowable is a weird thing to be in vogue. Telling companies that don't want to be associated with the content to just walk away is the right choice, even if it hurts the business. I'd also rather see Twitter die than Disney and Co being the arbiters of discussion. We already have Facebook and Reddit for that, and neither are any better for generating healthy societal discourse.

My guess is they're branding it in this way to obfuscate the number of parameters used, which makes sense because more parameters doesn't necessarily mean a better model. It's kind of like the "number of bits" competition in video game consoles back in the 90s.

Killing the mold isn't the problem. That's the easy part. Denaturing or removing the mycotoxins is the problem. The mold doesn't make you sick, it's the mycotoxins that some molds excrete that make you sick.

Look at this study that used gamma irradiation, detergent / bleach wash, and steam cleaning to test as ways to remove mold mycotoxins on paper, cloth, wood, and carpet. Unfortunately none of these techniques worked to inactivate mycotoxins, with two exceptions. A detergent / bleach wash worked to inactivate the mycotoxins on paper and cloth, but not on carpet or untreated wood. So porous surfaces must by physically removed and trashed to get rid of the mycotoxins. If you cannot physically remove it (like untreated wood that is a part of your houses' foundation), you must physically sand the mold off while using a HEPA vacuum to clean it all up.

Good news, it seems Google is launching a new powerful AI model that's called Gemini, and it can be and will be integrated with Bard [1].

It's important to know that the entire worldwide mobile phone network needs to have a reasonable estimation of the location of each device in order to work.

"Phone call for XYZ", "SMS for XYZ", "Establish TCP connection to XYZ". Every single device that hears this has to decode the message to the point that it can say "Nope, this isn't for me. Ignore". You've got billions of devices online at once, doing things that require messages to be sent to them. The network has to find a way to broadcast these messages to the tiniest geographic area that it possibly can, or else the whole thing breaks down. So yes, there are plenty of completely normal, standard ways that the network can make your phone say "I'm over here" without anything showing up on your screen.

I have heard claims that lots of popular LLMs, including possibly gpt-4 are trained on things like reddit. so maybe it's not quite garbage in, garbage out if you include lots of other data. Google also has untold troves of data that is not widely available on the Web. including all the books from their decades long book indexing project.
It would be interesting to write a LLM query to separate speech details based on target audience: stakeholders, consumers, etc.
Well, deepmind was doing amazing stuff before OpenAI.

AlphaGo, AlphaFold, AlphaStar.

They were groundbreaking a long time ago. They just happened to miss the LLM surge.
Just making REST calls against the predict endpoint is simple enough. Finding the right example document in the documentation was a mess. Didn't get a correct generated client for Elixir from the client generators. But this curl example got me there with minimal problems. Aside from the plentiful problems of auth and access on GCP.

https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/text/t...

You might need to do the song and dance of generating short-lived tokens. It is a whole thing. But the API endpoint itself has worked fine for what I needed. Eventually.

OpenAI was much easier of course. So much easier.
