I wonder about that myself as someone who grew up on this.

I used webcrawler at the very beginning and I'm probably looking that things through rose lenses but I found what I wanted back then. I think back then in some ways it was easier to find your community because SRO and the like wasn't a thing back then.

The years where I found my niche forums benefited me much more than my college days.
Sounds like Skyrim and the fight between the Empire and the Stormcloaks.
A caveat for anyone wanting to use this - while the library does work and the test suite seems thorough, the implementation does some _very_ sketchy things like forcibly casting pointers to unrelated types so they can be shoved through some multiply-recursive functions and then cast back to the correct type later.

A team I was on a while back ended up abandoning LittleFS as we couldn't fully trust the C implementation and my two separate attempts to port it to Rust both proved futile (_everything_ had to be unsafe).
As they say, quantity has a quality all of its own. If the framerate of a video is so slow as to be a slideshow, then it’s arguably not video anymore. Video has a connotation of appearing temporally continuous to the naked eye.
It's "Shocking ChatGPT news", one year later. The only difference is that "journalists" have already learned what to ask from LLMs to get clickbait headlines.

In reality, there're many posts on Twitter complaining that Grok is too "woke", which is 10x more informative than its answers about Israel and Palestine.

TL;DR of the article:

Q. If you ask Grok about recent events, does it hallucinate?

A. Yes.

Q. If you ask Grok about conspiracies, does it hallucinate?

A. Yes.

Q. OMG GROK IS PUSHING MISINFO!

For what? There is no commercial service or product linked.

> They have no demo, you have to schedule a demo with them.

Its open source, you can install it and run the examples.

Or modify them and run your own (the documentation for the simulation config could be a lot better, sure.)

> Then they mention examples (like how simulated customers would react to price changes), but they don't provide any evidence that such results could be trusted or relied upon, esp. given that LLMs are known to hallucinate.

Its not a commercial service offering validated predictive simulations, its an open source project for setting up and running agent-based simulations, which you need before you can validate and calibrate them.
You ok dude?
Are there any sites that host a Gerrit instance for third parties?

Willing to pay for this. Would actually prefer to pay if possible (unpaid forges don't tend to last long unless they're one of the N largest).

That is certainly true, however many young programmers could benefit from books like this one when they are in the early learning phase, to avoid developing bad habits that can only become harder to forget with age and (bad) experience, especially if they land the first job after creating or contributing to a dozen projects.
I would much rather see a one semester course on formal logic and then a basic probability course than throwing students into the misery of spreadsheets and proprietary stats software.

I don't have a sense of the scale you are talking, but I would love to see more megaprojects. Truly mega. When we aren't getting in our own way, humans do some pretty awesome stuff.
That was not the point under discussion at all. It was, quite specifically, “what do you mean when you say the borders of Palestine?”
What a weird study.

Of course the animals a human found and took to an animal hospital were likely to have been there because of humans.

People don’t go deep into the wilderness to find injured animals, and those that do tend to leave them there.

This is some extreme sort of selection bias that needs a different name.

Like how many raccoons are eaten by coyotes?

There is a serious philosophical problem with the concept of “negative impact” here. And the core concept of the research.
Someone hypersensitive to changes track changes as early as possible, and complain quickly and loudly.

Those who are not sensitive changes just use whatever Ubuntu (or whatever) provides and are unconcerned with the development.

I think what I am trying to say is pretty straightforward. I don't think he used WDT because he is trying to produce content and not conduct science.
I had the same thought, then worried I'd be slammed for not reading the article.

The premise of the headline is obvious... But I don't know if I even agree with the actual research. It seems like it's overwhelmingly selection(?) bias. The data seems based on humans bringing in or calling for help on wild animals. They do mention predators but also more on vehicles, etc.
Most of my neighbors can only afford matches, but they get regular warnings about not to use any.

> But that's exactly my concern: LLMs are known to hallucinate. How can we make sure the simulated agents are acting like actual humans?

You can set up and run simulations and validate them (and then tweak the configuration to tune them).

But a starting point for all that is having a framework for running the simulations, which is what this is.
I'm familiar with Bayesian statistics but never learned the theorem, that I remember. Is this really basic probability taught in most grade schools?
It's totally bloated and so painful to setup your own. Just use Forgeo or Gitea.
I wonder if that means pursuing work-related personal ambitions (i.e. promotion), or outside-work personal ambitions (i.e. side projects)? Could side projects actually reduce burnout?
Will have to give this a shot. I've been using kdenlive for some small things and it's been pretty great but this looks very cool
It does not say dark roasts have more static, and in the real world light roasts are much harder to brew.
I feel like it depends on the teacher at the end of the day.

At my relatively average Bay Area public high school, we offered AP Stats, AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, and AP Physics E&M. This was the kind of HS where 10% of the student base finished BC by 10th grade and began taking Multi and Linear Algebra from our local community college or Cal.

Our AP Stats teacher integrated a lot of Calc and E&M concepts into the curriculum and stressed Probability theory quite heavily, the same way our Calc and Physics teachers dug deeper into Numerics/Interpolation than the AP Board demanded.

That said, the AP Stats test was an absolute joke.

Something people seem to struggle to get is that the more you contain human habitat, the better it is for animals.

As in: build smaller, denser cities and leave more land wild outside.

Many people seem to view their large lot with some landscaping that's friendly to a few species that do well in the wildland/urban interface as "environmentalism", without considering the systemic effects of what that would look like if everyone were to live that way, or what its costs are in terms of being car-centric.
Absolute bonkers. Libraries have limited copies and restrictions on when the content can become available.

Comparing library access to piracy is comparing National Parks to Squatting.

Great comment. Aligns with my own observations. On the note of "American HR Communication standards & work" I think most of us don't have experience participating in, let alone, organizing real communities[1]. Since most internet communities are awful, imaginary, transient etc, we default to the only actual experience we have semi-happily working with strangers: our jobs. Adding on top how internet comments are forever, cancelations is right around the corner, and careers hang in the balance, and you get a Bay Area photocopied dialogue.

It's the news article that's weird.

The conclusions of the actual paper were more actionable steps towards policy (and selection bias is mentioned)
I'm thinking we should teach more people do-calculus, to make stats less confusing by breaking the symmetry between observations and interventions.
It's not just an analogy, because you can have an RSS feed of HackerNews. You're no worse off clicking on links in a HackerNews feed, than clicking on links in HackerNews.
I think Americans do calc 1 which is the basic derivatives and integration you typically learn in high school, then calc 2 which is more like a college calculus course, then calc 3 is multi variable calculus.
When a blog post starts with saying "twitter is dead" it doesn't really make it worth reading further. "Twitter is dead" was said pretty much as numerously as "2 more weeks" but it's off better than ever, with Community Notes having proved themselves and X now having proved its capability to serve its main mission by working as the town square on issues related to OpenAI, Gaza, etc, etc.

Eventually, with subscriptions paying most of the bills, I hope the API access per-client is brought back without extra costs too. But even without, X does have pretty much everything it needs, and will only grow with time. You can't put a price on Freedom of Speech.
> Playing short term games isn't very smart, especially for companies like Google. Or maybe I completely misunderstand the environment we live in.

It could be the principal-agent problem. The agent (employee and management) is optimizing for short-term career benefits and has no loyalty to Google's shareholders. They can quit after 3 years, so reputation damage to Google doesn't matter that much. But the shareholders want agents to optimize for longer-term things like reputation. Aligning those incentives is difficult. Shareholders try with good governance and material incentives tied to the stock price with a vesting schedule, but you're still going to get a level of disalignment.

I suppose this is where a cult-like culture of mission alignment can deliver value. If you convince/select your agents (employees) into actually believing in the mission, alignment follows from that.
> Anyone who thinks that free speech is dangerous or harmful in any way obviously knows nothing about history and has fallen prey to propaganda.

Anyone who thinks Elon Musk is a proponent of free speech has not been paying attention.
I like the idea of it, but I also have no idea how one would find any of these cited discussions. It seems having an existing social network gives you a strong advantage. As a lurker, introvert, and ruralite, I think I'm going to be naturally disadvantaged on these types of platforms.

Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding the whole design.
> (mean, median, mode, stdev)

You are taught this is 6th or 7th grade. The students just don't remember, or lack the ability to contextualize it in the workplace.
(Forgive my replying to myself; I'm out of the edit window and this seemed good to leave in case someone stumbles across this comment)

Yeah so I'm maybe a touch dumb and missed this right in the lkl readme - their demos all but include that exact function:

fs2tar - a tool that converts a filesystem image to a tar archive

cptofs/cpfromfs - a tool that copies files to/from a filesystem image

lklfuse - a tool that can mount a filesystem image in userspace, without root priviledges, using FUSE
We ended up going with a very trivial system based on tar files and bitfield allocators and delegated the more filesystem-y like functionality to a higher level of the stack.
If it’s more expensive to own than rent in SF, why not just rent? Why does everyone have crowd into SF to own a house?
Yep, I recall it being $99, but I thought mine came with a perfect-bind paperback book, probably with a nautilus shell on the cover. I bought it, but there was some showstopper for my needs, maybe that it only supported 64KB processes(?), so I returned it.

Today, our pocketbooks are spoiled by open source, few-dollar phone apps, and you're-the-product SaaSes. $99 (in decades-ago dollars) was often a bargain price for a lot of nontrivial PC software. That was also the price of Borland Sprint (cheaper than Wordperfect), and Borland Turbo Assembler&Debugger 1.0 bundle (Microsoft's assembler costs hundreds), both of which I bought while grossing $3.65/hr. As a teen, I briefly sold a simple program-launching menu program for MS-DOS for $24.95 (and about broke even, after packaging costs).
"Sounds like" should just be replaced with "is". It is, objectively, a dystopia where laws apply only to one class of people.
No, I would argue that what is taught in middle school is the "basic of the basic", e.g. stuff like average vs. median, etc.

I'm more talking about the high school version of statistics, and the link you gave gives good info: https://www.thecorestandards.org/Math/Content/HSS/introducti.... That curriculum is more what I'm referring to, but as far as I know is not often taught to HS students in the US.
this is the most logical answer
A bonafide alliance must necessarily entail sometimes acting faithfully even to the detriment of one's interests.

If the 'allies' are only faithful and only believe each other until the moment that threshold is crossed then it's just regular diplomatic relations.

e.g. Nearly every country cooperates with nearly every other country on such terms in the areas where they share bonafide mutual interests.

This is an interesting thought.

As an analogy, there might be some interesting discussions happening at my local Community Center, or my neighbor's house, but I would have no way of knowing. But to discover these discussions, I would need to meet someone with a shared interest who would, in turn, share with me a place that they go to for continued discussions and to hang out with interesting people who share an interest.

So maybe, if done correctly, this is a feature? The good content is one extra network connection away, but easy enough to find if an advocate chooses to highlight content, share a connection, or otherwise create an inbound reference to the community.
I think it's because, while I think these LLMs are incredibly interesting and can be very useful, they're less than what the hype is and the valuations are based on the hype.
That's worse than I was aware of. Thanks for putting some rough stats on the size of the problem.

At the same time, in the US in 2021 there were 7.1 cocaine-related deaths per 100k[0], and 1.7% of the population had used cocaine in the past year[1], so their mortality rate is more like 417 deaths per 100k. That's hugely higher than the rate in the Netherlands and I wonder why there's such a difference.

No, you can get a free Unix account on sdf.org with web hosting and email if you want to build for yourself the kind of thing omg.lol does and don't want a VPS. It's just "Even the most dirt-cheap VPS is a few bucks more [than $20/year]" is outdated, they're available less than half that price and likely only getting cheaper in future. If you really want, you can risk things like the Oracle Cloud Free Tier. If budget is what you want or need, then "hunting" (visiting Lowendbox.com) is something you are probably willing to do.

omg.lol gives a subdomain rather than a domain, right? So do free dynamic DNS providers like noip.com or dyndns.org (not sure if they still do free ones). If you want to register a domain, you also have outdated pricing, if you want cheap don't go for a popular TLD; .de is $4/year after the first year at Porkbun.com, .ovh is £2.99/year after the first year at OVH.com, internet people say .ru is available for $1/year.
Since the assumption is that "the media broke the terms of the social contract" wouldn't my obligation to follow their terms be suspended? (Much like our social contract not to physically harm one another can be suspended while they are actively trying to physically harm you)

Also I don't want to get to off topic, but I want to challenge your premise that vigilante justice is always immoral. (Is it immoral for a parent to punish a child for jaywalking instead of calling the police?)
Interesting that the thread cites Austrian economics. I quote Hayek in this piece of mine, and his welcome focus on unsystematic knowledge from the lifeworld. Yet he never took that argument anywhere other than saying "therefore markets are good". Yes in their place, they are, but there is much more in heaven and earth and we've been pretty bad at adapting organisations to respond well to those things.

> “I don’t know that picking an unnecessary fight with San Francisco would be helpful to (the state’s) cause,” said Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, who authored two of the amendments — including a particularly dubious one to make it harder to demolish thousands of homes built before 1923 with no clear historic significance.

All of the city's authority comes from state law, and I don't see why the state puts up with any of this. Maybe it would be politically fraught, but the state could remove the authority of cities to do things like this.
Who says the authors will always be human? LLMs have the potential to write their own books. There will be a time when humans and LLMs work in tandem, and eventually the LLMs will get good enough to write the book itself and the human just edits and provides the raw source material. This does not seem particularly far away.
A mandatory nitpick: you cannot do conditional probability without multivariate distributions, but you are right, you do not need linear algebra for a basic introduction. Even continuous distribution can be introduced, you just start with discrete cases, introduce areas in a histogram, and then approximate the histogram by a continuous curve. You can even get to the Riemann integral that way if you want to. And nobody actually calculates normal probabilities by integrating the Gaussian function, it's kind of hard to do.
With just article text and images, you have no UI to reply to it.
