Been donating to Islamic Relief for years.

Generally when there's a crisis, you'll see all kinds of charities pop up. IR has been quietly doing their thing regardless of what the media covers.

Quiet is good because

1. They're not spending a lot of money fundraising.

2. They end up focusing on cost effectiveness instead of playing to emotions.

3. They plan ahead instead of funding tons of stuff in one go - if it's for things like disaster relief, it's best to say, have boats ready for floods instead of buying 50 boats in one go at higher prices.

They do a lot of disaster relief, build wells, take care of orphans, the kind of long term work.

Not saying to donate to the same organisation, but it's a framework I follow. Also there's plenty of charity evaluation sites like Charity Navigator that check for how effective these charities are. It's fine to donate to an ineffective cause too, just be aware of how ineffective it is.

Also $20 to feed someone for a week is a great way to feel happy compared to spending $20 on a steak or something. There's a primal instinct to help others; it's more satisfying to give than take. Ideally you do it long term, become a part of the community instead of just 1-click-paying.

If you want both the steak and feeding others, consider those $200 charity dinners and such. They're inefficient, but almost nobody does it so you'll usually get a good deal. Like $200 will get you gold sponsorship seats and stuff and you get to meet some awesome people.

I've done some fun stuff like telling people this fat donation was funded by "JOHN CENA" or "MrBeast". Especially in uni events or medical stuff where they mention top donors. Just sit there wearing a t-shirt and a cap, and enjoy the laughter.
They didn't accidentally pick up anything.

Grok is extremely consistent in both referring to OpenAI in refusals, and also using the full repertoire of GPT-ism in its other responses, such as ending every message with an "Overall, ..." or "In conclusion, ..." section.

They RLHF-ed Grok on GPT output, specifically and in volume. Maybe sourced via the API or other means, I don't know.

But Igor's explanation that "this is very rare" makes no sense after you play with Grok for even 5 minutes.
> Do you use a manual grinder as well?

I have, in my life - I associate them with pour-overs (V60, Chemex) for myself. In my espresso setup, I have an electric variable-speed single-dose conical burr unit. It’s naturally fairly quiet, and I run it at ~30rpm so about all I hear is bean crushing/grinding.
The console has been out for w couple of years. Why not design it during design of the console? Isn't there already an accessible PS4 controller? Is that not compatible with PS5? (No idea, honest question) and if it's not compatible, then why?
What do you think we'll gain by putting every idea into the same cookie jar?

This drive to create One True Linux is commercial behavior. People that want One True Linux want to put products on there to sell.

These people need to read the GNU Manifesto and realize they are not in the correct social structures to push for centralization.
I can only vote for candidates standing in my region, both in UK and Germany.. I'll grant the UK could be more democratic too, but the EU is as democratic as at least some of it's member states.
Interesting that so many people in study have taken psychedelics. I wonder how that compares to general population?

“ Mean (SD) participant age was 40.4 (10.9) years in the psilocybin group and 41.8 (11.7) years in the niacin group; half were men and the majority (89%) were White. Ten participants (19.6%) in the psilocybin group and 13 (24.5%) in the niacin group reported previous lifetime use of a psychedelic”

I’m guessing a big part of this is that MS had this in 2018 despite having a less successful product and being a younger participant in the industry.
Because "AI" is a well-established academic field, and the definition by your quoted comment is in line with this.

It's a very broad umbrella term, machine (and deep) learning are only subsets - although the main drivers these days.

I don't know, hopefully it will help set general expectations.
Appliances don't talk to other people's appliances. Beeper users on imessage would be unpleasant. I used android for like a decade, my takeaway is that you all can't stand other people not enduring the chaos with you.
Since I have over the decades made several insurance claims that were paid out, I feel qualified to say that is a sack of lies, and the OP has exacerbated their aggravation and annoyance by failing to contact the police and their insurance company.

Instead of asserting their rights, they’ve allowed themselves to be subordinate to Amazon and Amex corporate internal processes. I struggle not to label that as vassal thinking.
what would you put there?

PNG is already extensible; that's part of how CPNG is working.
Yes, it does put into question the basic competence of its makers. Like how hard it is to massage at least the explicit brand mentions out of the data.
Sure, for any kind of cliche/advice, for any kind of delivering it, there exist people who need to read/hear that in exactly that form. But - unlike with remedial math - there also exist people who will be harmed by the same thing. Surely there must be a better way than shooting any given idea+form at everyone, and hoping the exposed population biases towards those who'll find it non-harmful?
You can dump the metadata and then restore it, maybe that'll work for you?
Shooting and killing a random 1% of drivers every day would also prevent congestion, and is fair and equal to everyone. There are other considerations though.
Worse for users than nothing? IT shouldn't be a default, but if it's that or nothing-- as it often is when it comes down to limited resources-- I think it's better than nothing. If you're looking to make a useful tool for a broad audience that must run locally, you have to support windows because that's where 80% of the users are. You should support OSX because that's where 15% of the users are. That's two codebases with dramatically diminishing returns. You need a damn good reason to justify adding ANOTHER codebase on there to scoop up the remaining handful of users on Linux.

Also, aside from startup time, I don't have any trouble with electron apps running slow on my machines. I think many developers are conceptually annoyed with the absurd, bloated architectural underpinnings rather than the experience that translates into when using them. Perception means a lot when judging performance, and I'll bet with most end users using, say, slack, the speed of their internet connection affects the speed of their work more than the speed of the application.
If you tell people the computer program that profiled them as a probable scumbag and denied them credit or a job was using methods from the 1980s instead of the newest neural nets, that won't change how they feel about it. Objecting to regulation of such systems because you think the term "AI" should be reserved for the newest and trendiest systems very "HN" and misses the forest for the trees. The EU is rightly concerned about the ways that computers empowered to make important decisions might impact people's lives might perpetrate injustice; that's what is important here. Not some whiny semantic nitpicks about what to call those programs.
I have one of these in my home office. Just press a button to switch from my work laptop to my PC, including all peripherals like speakers, webcam, mic, etc. My only complaint is that the audio behaves a little strangely. It buzzes and pops loudly when switching and during startup, and I’ve had to customize my audio configuration to account for some of the quirks, but it’s painless at this point.

This is the one I use https://www.avaccess.com/products/4ksw21-dm/
Soldier is on losing side of war, was unable to go through with morally objectionable orders, comes home to find everyone they ever knew died in bombing campaigns, and over time has to learn how to deal with the psychological and physical toll the war left on them.

But of course that's an absurd premise because Nazis and apparently the Japanese are not humans and therefore can't have human-like stories or something I guess.

Shit and you're not even the same person who commented above that all Japanese movies should essentially be 2 hours of Japanese actors apologizing for war atrocities their country committed 80 years ago.
I go for quality vs quantity
if you want to be pedantic, they can't delete it off our device. They just delete it off their server and then when you phone home to verify your movie they can say "sorry we can't play this".

Or at least, that's the streaming way. If this was a digital download with on need to phone home it will in fact be stuck on your PS3/4 unless they force you to update to do anything with your PS3/4. From there they can probably delete it during a patch. but the PS3 is well past EoL for that.
gonna fix
IME it is often the female pushing for the bigger vehicle. My ex-wife kept pushing to upgrade our Subaru Outback to something bigger and we only had 2 dogs and no kids in the suburbs. Similarly, my wife hated my Chevy Bolt because of its size. I think folks stereotype big vehicle purchasers as males looking to compensate for feelings of inferiority, but from what I've seen(beyond just the examples given) is that this isn't really true. I'm sure it sounds good to folks looking to denigrate people with vehicles that are deemed excessive but is trite and silly.
good point
I will look at gitlab and other OSS hostings
From what I gather, Postel's Law has fallen a bit from favor -- according to some folks anyway.

> From 2015 to 2018, in a series of Internet Drafts, Martin Thomson argues that Postel's robustness principle actually leads to a lack of robustness, including security:[1]

Also, NAL, but unfortunately, with the exception of Red Book CDs and ROM-Data, archiving commercially published optical media requires circumvention of copy-protection mechanisms. Unfortunately, "space-shifting" was considered and explicitly not added to the list of recommended exceptions to that rule by the Librarian of Congress[0]. It seems like no one appeared to defend this position, and it is not one of the exemptions allowed for circumventing copy-protected works.

Tell me how frequently does ChatGPT refer to itself as anything except ChatGPT?

Basically never.

The raw GPT model would be anything. My favorite was "I'm a young female lawyer with ambitions." But a tuned model knows what it is.

Grok keeps confusing itself with ChatGPT because it was trained via ChatGPT, directly and explicitly. And apparently the team sucks at its job, filtering the data.
Could you please address the tradeoff if you're going to post on the issue, and not a specific bullet point?

How do you feel about the increase in project-specific abstractions in Go? Or do you disagree with that framing?
It'll get posted again by Monday.
Indeed. It takes living through bad and good times to fully understand just how much money actually buys happiness, by shielding you from countless of soul-training problems and death through thousand little tradeoffs.

It's been said that "money is unit of caring", in the sense that if you're not willing to spend money on something, you're not serious about it. But in a similar sense, money is the unit of not giving a fuck - the more disposable income you have, the more soul-draining bullshit you can throw money at to make it go away.

The thinness is not the feature, the modularity is. The thin touch screen can connect to your laptop as well as your phone. But it will also look very elegant. And i am hoping such a tech would apply to monitors and desktop peripherals as well. You wouldn't have to worry about the looks of your phone, dropping it and a lot of other annoyances. In the distant future maybe this handheld screen can expand and shrink on demand as well.
"The algorithm" is going to be the next few decades' scapegoat. "It wasn't a human, it was a machine!"

"...coded by a human."
If I have to choose between a "comfortable" car to be hit by without active safety features and an uncomfortable car that has active safety features, then I rather choose the latter. In other words, rather a car that is driven by a human and might break from itself than a "comfortable" car driven by only a human.
The problem with studying psychoactive substances is that they can't realistically rule out a placebo effect. Psilocybin has strong side effects, but niacin (the placebo for the control group) has no side effects, so people know whether they are in the treatment group or control group. The apparent positive impact of psilocybin could just be a placebo effect.

A better idea would perhaps be to test two different psychoactive drugs with similar effects, like LSD and psilocybin, so people don't know which they got.
Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a full GUI application
My take on these studies -- either read the whole study or don't take it as evidence of anything. If you aren't motivated enough to read 20-30 pages, then you probably shouldn't be willing to risk your health around it.

For example title is great, but there's a bunch of other stuff to be aware of in there. E.G. "the most common solicited AE was headache in 33 of 50 participants (66%) receiving psilocybin and 13 of 54 participants (24%) receiving niacin."

Also this study was only 6 weeks. I think the obvious question is "Then what, do you redose, or hope it lasts?"

Lastly, anecdotally, I know a lot of people who recommended hallucinogens personally, and many/most of them seemed believably happier, but perhaps had other negative side-effects that a study like this wouldn't measure (e.g. do you friends think you're acting kinda weird now?). Some of these people seemed overly invested in convincing me in a way that made me uncomfortable and uncertain of their objectivity.

All the correct criticism about what the car represents culturally aside, the article also hints at what is for me the biggest aesthetic issue:

"He [Musk] has called the Cybertruck “what Bladerunner would have driven”

The car reminds me of what Mark Fisher called the "spectre of a lost future". Instead of imagining genuine futures the most "sci-fi" car imaginable is something that looks like it could come out of a 40 year old movie set. It's the same kind of design sentiment you see with skyscrapers in the Emirates were you can almost guess they were demanded by people who grew up on 80s science fiction with a 30 year delay.

We regularly use pygraphistry to generate /import => viz 100k+ entity embeddings on mobile fine: https://github.com/graphistry/pygraphistry , should be pretty easy to redo / scale . WebGL is impressively capable on even old smartphones nowadays !

More fun, in umap mode, by default, it also shows the top-n similarity edges between each entity, so you get interactive graphs that you can interactively filter + recluster + restyle on diff data attributes, vs just the typical x/y scatter plot

how does that contrived example address the point of "you are not entitled to these works?" And what the hell is "cultural rights"? There's no law to make things accessible to the blind. Companies will try to do it to get more customers, though.

Yes, a company can sue over a reference to their works outside of fair use cases. a translation is not a case of fair use. Companies usually won't go after such things unless they already have immediate plans to translate, but they can. Similar to how they can go after fanart but usually leave it be as easy, free, organic advertising.

> they’ve allowed themselves to be subordinate to Amazon and Amex corporate internal processes

No, he's told Amex that he will take legal action against them under section 75 if they do not fulfill their obligations.

> Since I have over the decades made several insurance claims that were paid out

By which kind of insurance and for what? It's important to note that for this transaction Amex is the primary insurance company (providing purchase insurance for things bought with it). Why would homeowners insurance provide coverage?

> I feel qualified to say that is a sack of lies

Prove it then.

The red ResponsePod tents tare designed for temperature extremes, 100mph wind, and rain.

They're not very disposable.

Cardboard tents are more sustainable than single-use tents.

Med tents, sheets, and scrubs could be made of antimicrobial hemp fabric.

Pop-up Hub tents like ShiftPod, Gazelle, and the Coleman Instant are quick to set up and sturdier than replaceable and splintable tent poles.

- [ ] ENH: Tent pole splint and/or spares

Tunnel tents also have high ceilings.

Round structures like [geodesic] domes fare better in wind than sharp corners due to wind shearing force.

Geodesic dome hub kits work with local lumber or other.

Heaxayurt:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexayurt :

> A hexayurt is a simplified disaster relief shelter design.[2] It is based on a hexagonal geodesic geometry adapted to construction from standard 4x8 foot sheets of factory made construction material, built as a yurt. [3] It was invented by Vinay Gupta. [4] Hexayurts are common at Burning Man. [5]

Is there a passive thermal roofline container modification for latrines and dispensaries? TODO link

In searching for the shipping container by the ResponsePod folks, I just found an awning specifically for the area between multiple shipping containers in a corral configuration; prefabricated container shelter.

happy to get your input
I've also been very pleased with my gev 4 DF64; it was a tossup between that and the Niche Zero at the time. The retention is so small I can't even measure it.
Great point, and the study even admits that point

"Limitations: First, the success of allocation blinding was not assessed, and it is likely that the acute psychoactive effects of psilocybin produced some degree of functional unblinding that may have contributed to the observed effect in psilocybin-treated participants and the increased dropout rate in niacin-treated participants."

Unblinding = participants figure out if they got the real thing

I think a recent ketamine study found a lot of the clinical effect went away if participants weren't awake/aware of the treatment. Wonder if that could be used here.
I remember not long ago during the large tech layoffs, people in France and Germany were proud that the regulations meant they couldn’t be laid off, and looked down at other primitive countries without such regulations.

I wonder how attractive it is for Google/Microsoft/etc to start new teams and hire engineers in those countries. Probably not so much because of the risk.

I also wonder how these regulations affect salaries. For the same cost I would much rather hire an equally talented US engineer and avoid regulations holding me down. Therefore EU engineers must be cheaper to hire.

Maybe EU citizens want to trade things like job security for fewer jobs and lower wages, but I feel like people mostly imagine regulation is consequence-free.
Fuzzy and misused words are pushed to muddy the semantics. Actual AI doesn't exist.

If/else, case, and while statements are basic building blocks of automation and computational logic. Intelligence is far from anything we've done with computers. It is a parlor trick looking for money right now.

My phone is a bit old (Pixel 4a) but it drives me crazy that so many times I type something into Firefox and it just shows a blank screen. Then I have to restart the app or open a new tap and type again. Feel it happens at least 20% of the time. No idea why and its not an internet issue. There is no loading. There is nothing.
We seem to be conflating different vehicles/demos in these comments. SUVs and pickups.

Large SUVs for sure are appealing to women.

The negative stereotypes of male compensation etc though are associated with large pickup trucks not SUVs no?

When we think “large SUV” we think soccer mom.

When we think “large Pickup” we think male ego compensation/etc.

In my experience, people in huge vehicles are either bad drivers or drivers who lack confidence (or both).

I'm pretty sure females in general have less confidence than males. At least in my family.
I’m still waiting for the first ps5 controller that doesn’t break from controller drag after 10-14 months. Seriously, there needs to be a class action at this point.
