I mean I can see where you're coming from, even if it's a bad example (derivatives of cocaine are extremely common today in medicine--procaine, lidocaine, etc.--but Freud worked with what he had at the time). Though its true that the entire psychological apparatus stands behind everything anyone ever says, writes, signs, for Freud, so it's impossible to read one part separated from any other, or to value one part more than another absolutely, instead of seeing it instead in a complex network of interwoven--as the French say--signifiers.

What your valuation (of projection over the use of cocaine in medical treatment) describes has more to do with the social and psychological economy from which you have received Freud as a body of texts and paratexts, than anything about Freud as a total system. What I've argued prior is that on account of the way Freud constructs psychoanalysis, and sets psychoanalysis as the means by which one can track their own place in discourse, means that everything is mediated psychologically, and therefore everything written by an author must be connected for that author. To take Freud, then, not as Freud as such, but as Freud as a body of disconnected texts, would be a disingenuous reading: still, possible, but not at that point Freudian. At that point, you'd be developing your own theory with reference to Freud.
I'm curious what happens if they actually do hit the targets, in 2 years.

We do scribe the drywall at times, it depends on what's off, by how much and in relation to what. Can't scribe into a cabinet side, and mistakes happen. Even the sink cutouts are cut dry at the shop, so there's a ton of dust exposure for sure. The trades are a messy business. And 'get er done' usually comes before PPE in most trades even now that we have a better idea of what's bad for us, it's a temporary job for me. The slabs are sometimes 500lbs so I can skip the gym at least.
> a lot people don't like wearing respirators.

Uh... tough shit? If you'll most likely get an often-fatal respiratory disease from not wearing your respirator, and you still don't wear your respirator, maybe that's just Darwin in action there.

Banning the entire thing is just dumb, assuming there are actually PPE and mitigations that will keep people healthy. If people don't follow the safety rules, they should be fired. If companies don't implement the safety rules, they should be fined a significant portion of their revenue.

If following the safety practices means it costs more to do a particular thing, then the people paying for that thing should pay more.
Also, they come up with post-hoc rationalizations that justify them not doing the uncomfortable thing.
IMO, reality doesn't break down, something different just happens. The information encoded in what we call "forces", "space", etc., and the rules from which those concepts emerged, continues as before, but with a different emergent form we can't predict yet. We might learn what that is, or it might be too chaotic, complex or unobservable for us to ever know.

But reality as we normally experience it breaks down!

Advances in cosmology and physics have broken generations of our perceived realities.
The building industry in Australia is filled almost entirely with independent contractors. Mostly single people, working on a contract to the house builder/project manager. So there is little room for that.

But I agree, this would be good.

But I think the decision here is basically that, in practice, it's very difficult to actually get people to follow the required practices, in practice. As has been shown in practice.

I really prefer confabulation, because there are a lot of parallels with the human brain (e.g. https://people.uncw.edu/tothj/PSY510/Schnider-Confabulation-...). Hallucination conceptually is often about sensing false inputs, whereas confabulation is about creating non-malicious false outputs.
Was curious if author considers node libs like `http` a dependency and the answer is no they don't. Looks like they're defining a dependency as an npm module, which seems pretty fair.
OK, fair, and tragic, but is the only solution banning it entirely? What about requiring PPE?

There are a whole lot of jobs that are safe when done properly and unsafe, when not done properly. It seems as if they are punishing an entire industry for not knowing what they didn’t know.
You make it illegal to do the wrong thing and have surprise audits. Losing your license is a pretty strong motivator to do it properly.
Compared to a same aged person does Musk do more dumb things each day? Perhaps his few dumb things get amplified by his haters?

Any normal person that manages to earn themself what Musk has earned might that affect their personality? Maybe make them more narcissistic etc? Large wealth would not affect your psychology?

This discussion might be heavy on semantics, but I don't think you are wrong for bringing this up.

AI can be used as a tool to empower authors and artists to create more and/or better works, but it can also be used by a lazy student to finish their 2 page writing assignment in seconds.

The only thing AI will clearly do over the next few years is raise the bar. Beginner art or copywriting is already outclassed and assignments will assume access to AI tools, similarly how many assume internet access nowadays.

Nevertheless, I truly believe that there will always be space for human art... just look at chess, with engines far better than humans, what are the tournaments about? the players.

> From whose perspective? Two astronauts, a watcher and a faller, have two very different experiences.

Right, that's sort of my point. If the experiences differ outside the event horizon, they must differ even more inside the horizon. Imagine Astronaut "A" who is closer to the horizon gets pulled in first, and is accelerating faster than Astronaut "B" outside the horizon.

Once A is inside the horizon, B can never interact with A again. I would assume this is true even after B crosses the horizon later on -- they both accelerate but tidal forces keep them moving further and further apart. Even though both are inside the horizon and heading in the same direction (center), at no point do they ever slow down or "catch up" to each other. B still can't interact with A, as A was infinitely redshifted already. Would seem they're always cutoff from each other.

> I believe their wavelengths increase toward infinity. They don't move more quickly away from one another but, rather, become red shifted.

Red shifted from the point of an observer looking towards the center of the black hole (anyone looking away from the center sees the outside universe blue shifted).

Red shifted light from far away stars implies an expanding universe. Wouldn't red shifted light looking at the center of a black hole imply that the space between the observer and the center of the hole be increasing as well??

So increasing wavelength = increasing curvature = space expansion?

I guess my naïve interpretation is that, while you can never get out of the black hole (you can't outrun the pull towards the center), at the same time you can never hit the center as things closer to it get further and further away from you. Would seem to me that there is expansion of space inside a black hole, maybe it's this that prevents a true singularity from forming?
It’s incredible how bad tradies are at PPE. When my solar panels were being installed on my house, the electrician was happily about to drill through asbestos cement eave lining before I stopped him, and at least made him put on a disposable P2 respirator mask I had lying around. But he still released asbestos fibres into the air and the ceiling cavity where his colleagues were working, and will have got it on his clothes and hair. How many times had he done it completely unprotected at other people’s houses without even thinking? (Australian houses often contain AC sheeting in houses built between the 50s to the 80s)

With silica it’s a similar story, we were moving in to an older office block that again had asbestos in the ceiling tiles, and I was wearing a respirator because again electricians had drilled it in a bunch of places (inside this time, ended up going through very expensive decontamination a couple of days later including ripping out and replacing half of the brand new carpet). Anyway, I was in the server room where an air-conditioner guy was installing a split system unit, and he asked me about it and I told him what was happened. He then said something like “Oh yeah, I definitely should have been more careful with that kind of stuff when I was a young fella”, and then proceeds to start drilling through the double brick wall (to install the piping to the outdoor unit) with no mask or hearing protection… Cutting brick and concrete releases silica into the air too, most tradies just give no thought to using proper PPE…
Here's the point I'm trying to articulate: we used to blame nearly all the non-smoker lung cancer incidents on 2nd hand smoke. Smoking was everywhere. It was terrible. I hated it so much.

Now smoking has dropped significantly and smoking indoors and in many public spaces is banned. But the non-smoker lung cancer rates don't appear to be dropping accordingly.

Did we replace the 2nd hand smoke with some other cancer causing particulates? Or were we wrong about 2nd hand smoke and there was something else in our environment the whole time?
so, if i retain painter/sculptor/etc to perform a job, and go with him for multiple iteration to get a desired look, will I be artist as well ?
I mean, if we can't incentivize doing the right thing by teaching people that they'll die of a respiratory disease in their 30s if they don't wear their PPE, then honestly, that's life. If people choose to do their job in a way that gives them high risk of bad health outcomes, that's on them.

Certainly if workers are being coerced into not doing the right thing, that's a problem, and employers need to be fined into oblivion if they pull that crap.

If it's uncomfortable or takes longer to do it safely, that cost should be passed on to the person paying for the work.

From an empirical perspective, the theories of psychotherapy are profoundly uninteresting. Debate has raged for decades about the dodo bird verdict - the hypothesis that all psychotherapies have equivalent outcomes - but the data has rendered that debate moot.

Psychotherapy is effective, but only marginally better than placebo. The differences in efficacy between various modes of psychotherapy are statistically insignificant and undoubtedly clinically insignificant. People receiving psychoanalysis improve at basically the same rate as people receiving CBT or IPT or ACT or a raft of other interventions that loosely resemble psychotherapy. In the most basic sense, it doesn't matter whether Freud was a genius or a fraud; entertaining his theories, even if only to criticise them, is a distraction at best.

The bottom line is that people tend to feel a bit better when they talk about their problems with someone who is attentive, supportive and non-judgemental. That's a valuable insight, but it's inherently limited and it's never going to yield the kind of treatments that we want and need.

So I suppose the main difference with using LoRAs normally is that less of the image is changed? Because it seems most of this could be done with inpainting and increasing LoRA strength, but I admit it would be difficult to keep facial features the same the way they seem to have done. What I notice are missing from these examples are actions/poses, so I wonder if it's good for that or we still need openpose/controlnet.

Yes, this has been available for a few years now. Initially, they only indexed a very small number of shops, so it was less useful. Based on a few queries, it seems like the are still using some form of text-based search with rank boosting. Seems like they still aren't searching their entire base of shops, but they have increased the number of shops for sure, and they seem to be continuing to invest in the product, which is nice. It seems more useful now than it did the last time I checked!
Valid, but how much can you distill a model while retaining (or refining) usefulness? You don't need to know how to paint Rembrandt to draw an anime girl, and you don't need to know about the biological taxa of North American Ducks to write a for loop. The cross-over might come to a point where you might need to explain what "duck typing" is, but even then, you only need to know that a duck is something which quacks (What does "quack" mean? Who knows..)

If a model forgets how to speak French but gets much better at generating unit tests, that might be perfectly fine for the type of work we want the model to perform.

The problem is we can't easily know what the model "forgets" when it gets better at doing something else. The best thing we can do is benchmark/measure their output and hope that those benchmarks cover what users care about.

I suspect high quality benchmarks will quickly become almost as important as the tuning process itself.
Exactly, silica is not the problem. Silica is everywhere, we don't wear PPE to drive down a dirt road.

It's the silica plus the adhesive additives combined in your lungs that does the damage.

This feels like calling every piece of literary work, be it a comment, or a novel as a part of the Library of Babel, instead of one's genuine creative endeavour. While that camera analogy felt like an eye-opener at once, it feels like an attempt to trivialize; we are not inventing anything new, but discovering what already exists. I disagree.
I agree. The discoverability of gestures is tough and something that nobody has really cracked yet.
I'm a resume submitter with technical knowledge and the applicant pays what they want. I'm okay with you assuming I'm less well-connected BUT it's in my best interest to get you offers. It's in their best interest to get someone offers. That's the big distinction. And no, no one else would be paying me. Maybe that's something to pursue? Who knows. YC talks about doing the manual stuff to validate and to learn and to research. So that's what I'm doing.

Completely anecdotal but my father in law is a stone mason at 75 years old, working since 16 and wears zero PPE. Not even ear muffs on a large cutting machine the size of an SUV. Wears open toe sandals. Incredibly, he is insanely fit, not an ounce of hearing loss, and works full time to this day. I helped him lay a stone wall this year and I dare say he’s possibly stronger than me at almost half his age.

It’s honestly remarkable.
> people don't wear PPE even though it's simple and easy to do

Maybe we should mandate people wear PPE, but if they decide to flaunt the rules and risk their health for no reason, I just don't really feel all that sympathetic.
Cutting stone and keeping 100% of it out of your lungs is nearly impossible, especially when you are working in uncontrolled environments like someone's kitchen that is being renovated.

The PPE available for this sort of work is just not up to the job.

"One day in the late mid-eighties, I was in my early late-twenties. I had just been dismissed from University after delivering a brilliant lecture on the aggressive influence of German philosophy on rock 'n' roll entitled 'You, Kant, Always Get What You Want.' At 26, my academic career was over, I had never kissed a boy, and I was still sleeping with mom. Such were the thoughts flooding my tiny head on the day that I was sunning myself... in an old bomb crater I had discovered near the Wall. I am naked. Face down, on a broken piece of church, inhaling a fragrant westerly breeze."

And that’s saying something, considering what Fox is willing to publish and air of its own free will and volition.

It wasn't supposed to be pessimistic. I think it would be kind of disappointing if there was a way to peek under the rug and see what's going on in there.

The sad state of australian industry is that there's very little investment in tooling, plant and equipment.

The things you've described are either not required or often considered bad style in C even though they are valid C.

Casting to/from `void *` isn't needed in C, and is commonly against coding conventions, like those used by the Linux kernel.

One would generally return `NULL` instead of `0` as `void *`.

But yes, it is possible to write some funky C code that could be technically correct but still not be considered good.
