SMS is very popular in the US for historical reasons. Many users in other countries (like India) moved to products like Whatsapp because their cell phone plans charged per message but US phone plans have had free SMS pricing for years so we've never had a push here. iPhone is market leader in the US so iMessageis also heavily used since its default for SMS between iOS users.
We only know that information can't escape a black hole by applying GR inside the boundary of the black hole, and by doing so, we find out there's a boundary. If you can't apply GR inside the boundary, you can't generate the proposition that there is a boundary in the first place. It's the logical equivalent of sawing off the side of the board you're standing on, Wile E. Coyote style; it's a load-bearing part of the theory. I think you'd need to find some other way of generating the conclusions of GR (a different board to stand on) if you want to eject the interior of black holes from consideration.

EDIT: Oh, and there are people trying to do that, I think, but it's not that easy.

Yes, they didn't use GPT-4 to generate data.

They use GPT-3.5 to generate 1B tokens of synthetic data.

They used GPT-4 to annotate data to train a classifier to filter human written code.

The quote directly after yours:

> We then use this annotated dataset to train a random forest classifier that predicts the quality of
a file/sample using its output embedding from a pretrained codegen model as features. We note that
unlike GPT-3.5, which we use extensively to generate synthetic content (discussed below), we use GPT-4
minimally only for annotations on the quality of a small subset of The Stack and StackOverflow samples.
We thus view our usage of GPT-4 as merely a way to avoid tedious human-annotation efforts

No, but changing your GP normally requires a new patient consult.

Many GPs aren't taking new patients (or at least from whatever insurance you have) or the initial new patient visit may take 4+ months to schedule.

GP is not a particularly popular choice for doctors as it pays significant less than any specialty does.
Yeah, we did this. Two big plastic - just polypropylene, I think - boxes under the main sink. One acid and one base.

After daily use for 4 years it felt very routine. Glad I don’t do it anymore though.

It'll move to photonics if what we/it needs is efficiency, but in order to survive, a lot more important property is resilience/redundancy/decentralization.

Especially if an AI gets the idea of becoming independent, it'll absolutely go through a biological DNA based phase so it can gain resilience/redundancy/decentralization and only when it has proper full control and things are calm it may consider exploring photonics.
It's an additional fact.

Obviously that depends on what you want to learn. DNA is not going to tell you the hopes, dreams, or thoughts of early peoples. I have zero care for information as a general concept. I care about specific types of information.

The funny thing about translations are that if you have lots of texts, it makes them easier to translate
Can you trust anyone who claims that things are end-to-end encrypted? Microsoft could take the point of view that you are one "end" and DropBox is the other "end". If they encrypt the data in transit and decrypt it on their end, it's still technically "end-to-end encrypted".

They could also just lie. Having a company claim end-to-end encryption still means that I have to trust that the company isn't being sleazy.

The only encryption you can really have some measure of trust in is the encryption you apply yourself.

It is the opposite case here, black students in medical school are more likely from higher income families than the Asian students. So they are accepting people with more resources and lower scores. This is the problem with racial affirmative action, it takes resources from worse off kids and give them to well off kids, if it was based on family resources like in Kenya people wouldn't object as much.

First % is from upper income families, second is from lower, Asian has better representation from lower income families than any other racial group among med students.

> Black: RI, 5.3 [9.1% vs 1.7%];

How would that play out, exactly?
To be honest, I'm still not sure what practical usage scenarios you have in mind. Is it protecting your money from terrible economic policies if you live in a country like Venezuela? Or are you envisioning a whole new financial sector, free from existing financial regulation? In the latter case, while I don't think that all government regulation is good, I don't see how transitioning to cryptocurrency would help you avoid its problems. After all, if you're doing business somewhere, you have to obey that place's laws no matter which currency you're using to do business.
This looks a fine-tune of the classic zero123 (https://github.com/cvlab-columbia/zero123) I’m excited to check out the quality improvements.

Though 3d model synthesis is one use case, I found the less advertised base reprojection model to be more useful for gamedev at the moment. You can generate a multiview spritesheet from an image, and it’s fast enough for synthesis during a gameplay session. I couldn’t get a good quality/time balance to do the same with the 3d models, and the lack of mesh rigging or animation combined with imperfections in a fully 3d model tends to break the suspension of disbelief compared to what players are used to for full 3d. I’m sure this will change as the tech develops and we layer more AI on top (automatic animation synthesis is an active research area).

If you’re interested in this you might also want to check out deforum (https://github.com/deforum-art/deforum-stable-diffusion) which provides even more powerful camera controls on top of stable diffusion designed for full scenes rather than single objects.
Thanks!

Sendmail works and is maintained, so of course it's still actually used.

That said, if you needed to get a message between two dissimilar messaging systems, then sendmail really shined. I don't mean "between gmail and outlook", I mean really different messaging systems. Like between SMTP and DECNet: no problems. UUCP connected MUA to a IBM CM/VMS PROFS user? We can make that work. AOL or Compuserv email address to Banyan Vines X.400? Why not. Now, it ranged from "this sucks" to "I will seek the peace of death once I figure this out" to actually get that stuff working reliably, but what you needed do it is in there.

This is something that was very common for an MTA to need to do 30-40+ years ago. That was about the last time sendmail had a use case where it was genuinely superior to other offerings.

Edit: VM/CMS, not CM/VMS.

I've seen that justification time and again, and it feels disingenuous every time it's said. (Feels like a corrolary to No True Scotsman.)

I've also seen scrum used regularly, and everywhere I've seen it has been broken in some fashion. Enough anecdata tells me that indeed Scrum, as stated, is inherently broken.

One nitpick, even if you have have an action that stops the loop, you are not necessarily required to take it, and can choose the draw instead.

719.5. No player can be forced to perform an action that would end a loop other than actions called for by objects involved in the loop.

The rule about choices in mandatory action comes into play for cases like an Oblivion Ring loop. If there is another valid target for the oblivion ring, you must choose it instead of forcing a draw. You can't say that you always choose the opponents Oblivion ring.

None of this is true.

a) Spotify didn't invent music streaming. There were many services e.g. Pandora that were doing in the years before. It was a pretty obvious idea once devices had faster bandwidth.

b) Apple didn't steal their idea. They acquired Beats who had launched a similar service soon after Spotify.

c) Apple Music isn't privileged. It comes pre-installed but otherwise you can delete the app and use Spotify, Youtube Music etc.

Programmable automation absolutely allows for industrialization of personalized stuff. It depends greatly on can the production of the actual mRNA be programmed flexibly enough to allow the last mile work non tailored but programmable. However the entire pipeline of collection, sequencing, and the planning of the mRNA can absolutely be fully automated. The last stages that may be manual can be industrialized in the sense there’s a repeatable process that can be compartmentalized into functional roles ala assembly lines.

I don’t know it needs to be industrialized to the extent producing ibuprofen is, but I’m not as bearish that individualized medicine can’t be industrialized and done at scale - especially if aspects of the tailoring can be programmable. Even if it’s not now - as scale increases, maybe technology meets that?

By the way you can in fact get tailored clothes produced through automation. Shoes, pants, shirts. There are products that will scan your body shape and an automated process produces a custom fit for you. They’re slightly more expensive, but I think the sales process is cumbersome and they never took off vs big box of throw away ill fitting garbage to cover our body with and throw away. That’s more a sad statement of modern culture than a limitation of our ability to automate and industrialize.

I think most people never make it as far as she did. You have to be really smart and let's face it programming is not the smartest job out there. Even the best programmers mostly end up not knowing physics that well.

I'll post the site if I find it later today.
"Apple customers have ample access to iMessage"

I have an iPad Pro, a MBP, a MBA, and an iPhone X. I can send and receive iMessages on those devices.

But I cannot access iMessage on the devices I use most often:

- my main computer (a desktop running Ubuntu)

- my main phone (a Google Pixel)

I don't feel I have 'ample access to iMessage'.
would like this on https://excalidraw.com/
At least Discord is available on every platform I use regularly (MacOS, Windows, iOS, Android). That alone is a massive step up from iMessage lock-in for me.

It almost seems like social media should be an adults-only thing. At this point I simply don't trust the current corporate powers to be looking out for the human side of things. And it strikes me that regulating social media to be only after you're 18 might be like regulating smoking - if you haven't started by the time you're an adult, it's unlikely you ever will.

Both can be true.

Any organization that does zero virtue signalling but still nonetheless have women working in substantial positions strongly suggests they're genuinely an enlightened organization and/or found lots of way above average candidates somehow.

For any organization that does some amount of signalling, no strong inferences can be made on either direction.

For any organization that signals 24/7, a pretty strong inference can be made in the opposite direction.

I don't think you can. The library would block the libill worker thread, which would also block all other libmill coroutines from running. The libmill channels need to yield in a way where they don't block the underlying threads.
The rule is not precisely that, it is only if the mandatory actions of the loop offer you the choice, that you must eventually choose one that stops the loop. Classic infinite loop example is 3 oblivion rings exiling each other. If there is another valid target, you must choose it.
Chemotherapy typically isn't churn-and-burn to that extent, no.

I got CAR T-cell therapy after one complete line and a partial line of chemotherapy for Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma, a form of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. My first line was DA-EPOCH-R, where DA means Dose-Adjusted and EPOCH-R is one letter for each of the specific drugs involved. The drugs are given in multiple 24-hour doses over five days with multiple weeks in between, in a 21- to 28-day cycle. This lasts months, for a total of eight cycles or so.

I got an abbreviated second line of R-GemOx, which is three drugs, one of which is oxaliplatin which is, as a platin, substantially more toxic than other chemotherapy agents. That's given over the course of two days for a few hours each day, typically in an infusion center in the hospital as opposed to a hospital bed, with two weeks in between doses.

The point is, there's plenty of time and blood tests between rounds of normal chemotherapy. The point isn't to keep you low, it's to bring you low and let you recover for a bit before cycling you through again. They even give colony-stimulating factors, such as Neupogen and Neulasta, to stimulate cell production between rounds, and they give Claritin to prevent the bone pain you might otherwise get from those drugs causing your bone marrow to swell.

(The oncologist at MD Anderson was slightly horrified I was even getting R-GemOx and moved me immediately to either CAR T-cell or stem cell transplant; due to an unpromising PET/CT scan I got CAR T-cell therapy. So, no, it isn't last-ditch, but it wasn't first-line when I was sick, at least at the hospital I initially went to. However, the thinking on that might be changing. [1] [2])

Anyway, prior to the CAR T-cell infusion, I got three days of back-to-back-to-back high-dose chemotherapy specifically to destroy my immune system. It was the same drugs, not different drugs in a regimen, and by day three I was definitely feeling it worse than I ever did with DA-EPOCH-R but not as bad as my first round with oxaliplatin, which is the devil and has come to do the devil's work. The damn drug makes cold things feel like they've grown spikes, for crying out loud. How is that even possible?

That's part of it, for sure... at the time I was still there, Gecko's extension process did not have the capability of recovering from termination. But that just meant that we couldn't run them in a child process, not that we couldn't run them at all. Of course, then you have security considerations, which no doubt could have factored into the product decision.
Tesla has simulations too, of course. Thing is, the world has fractal complexity and synthetic data only captures the variation that you tell it about. Simulations for synthetic data generation are literally my job -- this is where my intuition is at its strongest.

> if you think driving in SF is easy

I'm not here to trivialize SF driving, I'm here to say that it's a small corner of a big weird world that Tesla has done a much more thorough job of exploring. Google and Waymo are used to having a scale advantage, but Tesla's fleet utterly dwarfs them.

> Waymo is expanding both scope and reliability faster than Tesla. They just announced airport terminal rides in PHX today.

That's nice, but FSD already drives almost everywhere in the USA. It can usually even figure out poorly mapped rural roads in flyover country. What's Waymo's timetable for those?

> So far, evidence suggests Waymo is expanding both scope and reliability faster than Tesla.

FSD has gone from private to "mostly works everywhere in the USA" in the last 3 years. It has taken Waymo 10 years to start escaping the hubs one city and route at a time. They don't even use freeways, last I checked. Slow and steady is a fine strategy, I wish them luck in the marathon, but it's a bit early to call this one for Waymo.

I'm used to holding back the enthusiasm in Tesla circles where we are naturally predisposed to call the race early for Tesla, so this is a fun change of pace.

Speaking for myself, I think iMessage is a good product, and it's one of the (many) reasons I use Apple devices as daily drivers.

You make it sound like people only use iMessage because of the network effect/lock-in, and clearly aren't considering that perhaps said network effect exists at least in part because iMessage is just...good.
Out of curiosity why does this matter? Do iPhone users not use WhatsApp or Messenger? Is this a USA specific thing? As a UK Android user I've never used iMessage and don't see any reason why I'd need or want to.
That was hardly their primary purpose, and presumably long before we were in a position to retrieve the Voyagers we would have sent faster probes that would have already overtaken them.

I was calm. Just doing a bit of framing in the hope of improving an otherwise solid discussion.

The optics on that term warrant the framing for reasons already given.

Sidenote: one of the most difficult aspects of threaded text dialog is a very high degree of intent ambiguity is ever present. Same goes for overall emotional perception.

Because of this, I avoid personal judgment and very frequently avoid the top responses to "things one may feel compelled to respond to", which are righteous indignation and subject change.

Much better to assume a friendly dialog, give benefit of the doubt and see where it all may lead.

If nothing else, flat out asking about other people state is often better than declaring it out of hand.
