Personally I would vote "no" regardless of whether I had confidence the kid wouldn't be exposed to the dregs of the Internet, for two reasons:

1. LLMs are I think pretty inarguably bad at answering certain types of questions in a factually accurate way, at least without nontrivial prompt engineering. I don't think many 8 year-olds will recognize which types of questions the LLM will give inaccurate answers to, or be ready for the sort of prompt engineering that'd be required to mitigate this.

2. Learning is of course more than simply obtaining and memorizing facts. You don't want to overfit your kid - you want them to have to struggle a bit for their understanding so that it generalizes. Sure, formulating questions is part of that process, but there's something to be said for having to sift through pages of search results (or even better, from a learning standpoint, searching through the pages of a book they had to find on a library or bookstore shelf). It's like the old idiom, give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Better to teach your kid to fish (and for knowledge/understanding, not mere facts).

As for image generation, I suspect you'd find more inappropriate content come up there than with a chatbot - and teaching the kid to draw, paint, etc would probably be better for their development.

Pneumoconiosis, aka black lung is something different.

> Coal — There is a prevalent opinion that coal miners do not suffer from silicosis or tuberculosis. But coal mining may produce silicosis when the associated rock has a sufficiently high silica content [0]

> Analyses of speciments of rock drilled from various sites on Manhattan Island showed
that the free silica content ranged from zero to 84 per cent. In
the case of dry jackhammer drilling, 50 per cent of the silica
particles were less than three to four microns in size, while with
the water Leyner (wet) drill, 50 per cent of the particles were less
than 1-8 microns in diameter.
Of the 208 drillers, blasters and excavators examined, 42 per cent
showed early, and 15 per cent well-developed silicosis. Evidence
of tuberculosis, including both active and inactive cases, was
present in nine per cent of the total number.

I believe miners of many types began suffering from silicosis when powered jackhammer drills were first introduced. It wasn't until people started dying that water began being piped to to the tip of the drill.

This document is old, but very interesting. Many of the questions being asked in this thread can be answered here. The various industries where silicosis can occur are outlined beginning on page 47.

Renormalization is on relatively good footing these days. Nobody claims that it's a "final theory", but the argument that "the same theory may work with different values for the constants depending on what energy scale you cut off at" is totally legitimate. The remaining confusion, such as "why the hell do we have to do it though", is really QFT's fault for being perturbative (and likely just incomplete).
This will make real content more valuable and hopefully the cream will rise to the top.
Did he have to reapply? Acceptance rates have gone pretty steadily down at most worthwhile colleges since the 1970s. It would be surprising if a candidate got more attractive to a school as time went on.

I'm kind of curious about the process of applying to Caltech overall, as someone who didn't have the opportunity to apply to anywhere at 18, but would very much like to when I get the chance. If a person wants to get into an elite university like it or MIT, what should they optimize for? I've known people with near-perfect SAT scores that didn't get into either. Is it mostly luck-based, after what few obvious things you can control?

Sorry, I know this is probably the most frequently asked question you get any time you bring up your alma mater.

Yeah the subtext people mean when they say not to "anthropomorphize" AI is "humans are the gold standard of intelligence, all of its limitations are in its failures to do things humans do easily or automatically, by anthropomorphizing it you are ignoring the AI's limitations".

There is this built in assumption that humans have a natural supremacy in the realm of "intuitive" information processing that is unquantifiable. As AI improves this somewhat supernatural view will dissipate.

In fact, in the future when people talk about not "anthropomorphizing" AI, it will be in the opposite sense, i.e. we will be warned not to assume that an AI has human flaws, because in reality it is much smarter than that.

The "payback period" might well be infinite (with non-zero interest rates), in which case we're talking about a subsidy, not an investment. (Which might still be a good idea! It won't "pay for itself", though.)

I assure you that corporations would do a lot better than individuals or small-scale professional content creators.

I was just thinking that I’d love it if Nintendo made a Micro console again. I don’t feel like the Switch Lite was actually small enough to justify as a companion to the full-sized Switch. More just an alternative for those who don’t care about docked play.

It's just your browser's HTML parser. Line 6:

# / <//_\

This is being interpreted as a malformed HTML closing tag, which (according to the HTML5 parsing algorithm published by WHATWG) gets treated as a comment. The file doesn't contain any > past this point. This leaves the uncommented contents from lines 1–6:

# ,:
# ,' |
# / :
# --' /
# \/ />/
# /

Or, with whitespace collapsed:

# ,: # ,' | # / : # --' / # \/ />/ # /

Which should be exactly what you observe.

Totally valid points! However I think a lot of the real "magic" comes from the sort of cross-domain "thinking" that the larger models are capable of and I think that axis hard to benchmark. (though because it seems so hard to quantify, there's a high chance i'm making shit up)

The appeal of Freud is that there's clearly something true about it. It's not all true, not even close, and as a predictive model it is extremely weak; the ways it's not true is really important and everyone figured out that it's there so they moved on to other models. But it's got (I believe) true parts, even though you can't really call them "science", and those parts appeal to people like me who are looking for something... more than therapy, I guess.

But modern agriculture isn't really sustainable. It wasted land that represents ecosystem destruction, wastes groundwater, wastes soil, requires pesticides, and petroleum for fertilizers.

Not that any very farms fundamentally address these issues, but to say it's perfect is wrong.

Yes by modern economics measures it is efficient, but modern economics still treats any environmental concern like a frivolous side issue.

Good idea, yes I do use the iOS app with voice all the time. But didn’t occur to me to use the iOS app to start a chat and continue on desktop. The main pain though is where I have lengthy back and forth with GPT4 discussing an approach or getting some piece of code just right. It often gets tiring enough that I just quickly type with lots of typos and it still does fine. But I’d rather not have to do that because these typo-filled chats will be hard to search though later :)

The exposure to silica comes from cutting and grinding - and there is probably more exposure to cutting and grinding from natural stone (first at the quarry and second in production).

I think the important distinction is that with natural stone, much more is cut to fit from the factory (which is easier to handle dust) vs cut on site.
You can always find it again by searching <google cloud fuck you> in your favorite search engine ;)
Exactly. Or more precisely, ban the net effect (putting the dust into the air), and then people can find the best alternative given that constraint, whether it's a better manufacturing/installation process that doesn't put the dust into the air, or a product that doesn't produce the dust in the first place.

>How many hours a day do you spend moving objects that weight >20lbs while wearing your respirator?

You wouldn't get wearing it while carrying etc. It's while cutting.

Don't get me a lot of establishments are probably not set up for proper dust control (eg cutting in a dust extraction room) but that's still not a reason to ban the product.

This was incredibly political. Our media outlets scared the crap out of everyone with a good month long campaign on it, so it became entirely political.

Part of the reason Western countries are so successful is precisely because we don't treat it as a privilege, but as a given.

In that scenario you wouldn't pick a buyers agent you'd go directly to the listing agent. They'd represent both parties in that example. I'd imagine maybe the seller can negotiate the commission down since the selling agent is getting both sides.

I'd argue we'll still need buyers agents in the future but not as many. If you already know the area and what you want then just look, pick a home and contact the listing agent.

If you need someone familiar with the area who can guide and negotiate on your behalf then you'll want a buyer's agent.

I think we can have both scenarios, no?

Show HN: Django.wtf – Package Index for Django
I've built a site for discovery and ranking of Django packages. It uses Github to crawl for new packages and I manually categorize the popular packages.

I've used https://djangopackages.org/ in the past to discover cool libraries, but decided I wanted to build something with a slicker design. I also wanted to find "surging" packages that are gaining a lot of stars relative to the total star count. https://django.wtf/trending/. The same can be done for package maintainers: https://django.wtf/profiles/trending/

Great site. Having built a search engine that needed to handle product data on a similar scale, it's not an easy thing to manage.

Some observations:

- Don't use infinite scrolling, it's an outdated UI practice that leads to bad user experience. It also makes the footer entirely unviewable.

- Clicking on a product card image does not reliably open up the product. I have to randomly click on it a few times (Chrome, Brave)

- Clicking on product card image and title leads to different actions, this is a bit unexpected, should show some hint of the difference.

- The product page pop up will reset the search list when closed, this messes up my search navigation, breaks the flow of browsing.
