That's the jQuery trap many fell into; understanding the library but not the language underneath.

A basic working knowledge of CSS will still serve you after Bootstrap/Tachyons/Tailwind are no longer flavor of the month.
Babies "dream feed", so maybe it's that we forget how to do things.
Too many "like's" and "I mean" filler words. Things become unreadable/unlistenable when when every other sentence has an unnecessary like injected into it.
I think the gap between attributable knowledge and absorbed knowledge is pretty difficult to bridge. For news stuff, if I read the same general story from NYT and LA Times and WaPo then I'll start to get confused about which bit I got from which publication. In some ways, being able to verbatim quote long passages is a failure to generalize that should be fixed rather than reinforced.

Though the other way to do it is to clearly document the training data as a whole, even if you can't cite a specific entry in it for a particular bit of generated output. It should get useless quickly though as you'd eventually have one big citation -- "The Internet"
I don’t know really, I was a kid in the 90’s.

This is a bit far from the economic aspect, but the world currently seemed to be utterly suffused with a looming sense of dread, I think because we have, or know other people have, news notifications in their pockets telling us all about how bad things are.

I don’t remember that feeling from the 90’s, but then, I was a kid. And of course before that there was the constant fear of nuclear annihilation, which we’ve only recently brought back really. Maybe growing up in the end of history warped my perspective, haha.
Do you mind explaining why the next decade is going to be amazing ?
Even better, reading the first sentence of the article. It explains what Type 1 is.
Check out the WSPR beacon and other kits at https://qrp-labs.com, great stuff for the radio amateur. I have built most of their kits, and the owner is a fantastic fellow.

That's what I do too. Thunderbolt is excellent, but it would be nice to not need to physically swap cables.
The fact that the NYT lawyers used a carefully written prompt kind of nullifies this argument. It's not like they stumbled on it on accident, they looked for it and their prompt isn't neutral either.
yes, there is a theory on how the muscles of the eyes become "miscalibrated", so to speak, if you only look at close things. What is the exact mechanism of the "lower light" theory then?
No, it doesn't require. If you take all public web text it is just something like 40 trillion characters, which could fit in a single hard disk uncompressed including suffix tree structure.

I would note that in the examples the NYT cites, the prompts explicitly ask for the reproduction of content.

I think it makes sense to hold model makers responsible when their tools make infringement too easy to do or possible to do accidentally. However that is a far cry from requiring a little longer license to do the trainint in the first place.
If your code contains verbatim copy-paste of entire blocks of non-trivial code lifted from those videos/books/newsletters with commercial licenses, then yes you would be liable for some licensing fees, at minimum.
Do you have any recollection of snacking at night? If you don’t, you’re likely to suffer from a sleep eating disorder.
Any citation would be a good start.

For complex subjects, I'm sure the citation page would be large, and a count would be displayed demonstrating the depth of the subject[3].

This is how Google did it with search results in the early days[1]. Most probable to least probable, in terms of the relevancy of the page. With a count of all possible results [2].

The same attempt should be made for citations.
I do think people are scraping the site daily, if not hourly, and rate limiting is usually trivial to overcome. But I suspect the implementation is not standard.

Scraping doesn’t even have to be hourly, scraping a thread or account once then `diff`ing the two between weeks or months or years would easily reveal any interventions.

Which would actually expose users who you should retroactively investigate. Canaries.

I presume you are aware of “fuzzed” users. With unassociated comments, submissions, and possibly even changing names. I only recently discovered this myself after a little digging, but you may be able to do this and continue posting.

I’ve been hesitant to mention this anywhere, as discussing how you would red team a site you like publicly might not be the best for the site.

There are other clever possibilities, such as using some combination of artificial & organic content to wash users identities. Like banned or shadowbanned accounts mixed with real users. An acid bath if you will. If you dissolved 100 people into each other, who can really say who is who?
Or become physiologically incapable of it. But that might just be “forgetting.”
Goitre and cretinism was present in French Alps too.
My understanding is that 20 feet or so is optical infinity, so whether you're looking at an object 20 feet away or 20 light years away, your eye muscles are just as relaxed (hence the 20-20-20 recommendation: every 20 minutes, stare at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
I want to point out that this is an idiotic take even outside of the fact that type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with diet.

1. A lot of children get type 2 diabetes. Children are marketed to in very manipulative ways, aren't yet fully educated, have weak impulse control, and are handed insanely sugary drinks and foods.

2. Sugar is being put into everything. Unless you're cooking for yourself (hard to do when you're working a ton) for every meal it's hard to ensure you aren't getting tons of sugar.

3. The food pyramid and other systems have been encouraging a high carb / high sugar diet for decades, there's tons of misinformation about it.
Presumably, if a passage of any significant length is cited verbatim (or almost verbatim), there would have been a way to track that source through the weights.

The issue of replicating a style is probably more difficult.

I've searched high and low for someone who may have archived an interview with @todayisnew (the ethical hacker) to commemorate him reaching a milestone on the HackerOne platform.

It was streamed on Twitch via the official HackerOne channel and I kick myself for not realizing it would be autodeleted after a few days.

In it he talks about his methodology and it has one of my favorite clips from these types of interviews where (paraphrasing) he is asked what he is doing during a general, hypothetical bug discovery. He goes on to explain that he has automated the entire process such that he finds bugs in his sleep and it still excites me to think about.
Early in in my career I was part of a small company that developed a grid-based language for geospatial applications. The grid approach worked well for a lot of aspects, like implicit caching and concurrency. The cells could contain data that defined a view, such as a map or chart.

The downside of the grid was the same as it is with spreadsheets. The identifiers are not as visible as they are in a flat-file based programming language. What cell the interest rate in again?

It was amazing how well it worked even on state of the art Sun SPARCstation 5s at the time.
I hope this results in OpenAI's code being released to everyone. This is way more important to humanity's future than any single software company. If OpenAI goes under, a dozen other outfits can replace them.
I'm a type 2 diabetic. My diabetes was not caused by diet.

My diabetes is caused by failure of my pancreas to produce the necessary cells for insulin production, and insulin resistance of cells within my body.

Not everyone who has diabetes acquired it from bad diet.

Perhaps learn some empathy njroute22, because your comment was hurtful and demeaning.
> that is not free

Why did you specify that this stuff you like, you only like if it's "not free"?

The hidden assumption is that the information you like wouldn't be made available unless someone was paying for it. But that's not in evidence; a lot of information and content is provided to the public due to other incentives: self-promotion, marketing, or just plain interest.

Would you prefer not to have access to Wikipedia?

The article is a bit confusing imo. It mentions myopia and also retinal detachment, and sort of implies a link between the two but not does not explain that at all.
So the NYT wants its content to be indexed by search engines, therefore makes it public to all crawlers, but then complains when some crawlers use the content to train AI on it? This issue is about the NYT wanting to lure internet users into its biased and politically motivated news website (and make them pay for it). If the NYT wants to they can block crawlers and rely on loyal readers typing nytimes.com in the browser. Easy. But competing is hard. It was easier when they could just control shelf space in kiosks
Why isn't robots.txt enough to enforce copyright etc? If NYT didn't set robots.txt properly, is their content free-for-all? Yes I know the first answer you would jump to is "of course not, copyright is the default", but it's almost 2024 and we have had robots.txt as industry de jure to stop crawling.

Agreed. And, maybe more subversive, it's like there's some effort to discourage the solutions that actually work (e.g., poisons and growth regulators) in favor of "natural solutions" that don't do any good. For instance, here's the top of the Google page I get for "cockroaches in kitchen."

I always have a bottle of silver powder and when I get a new apartment (every year) I pull out the oven, fridge and dishwasher and put that stuff down after vacuuming the area.

One time the situation was so bad I also had to use the diatomaceous earth power in combination.

I stored all my food trash in my refrigerator for months an no food was left out that wasn’t in a sealed plastic container.

Along with having the apartment spray I was able to get it under control.

We all remember when Aaron Swartz got hit with a wire tapping and intent to distribute federal crime for downloading JSTR stuff right?

It's really disgusting, IMO, that corporations that go above and beyond that sort of behavior are seeing NO federal investigations for this sort of behavior. Yet a private citizen does it and it's threats of life in prison.

This isn't new, but it speaks to a major hole in our legal system and the administration of it. The Feds are more than willing to steamroll an individual but will think twice over investigating a large corporation engaged in the same behavior.

Which evidence?
Applesoft BASIC was by Microsoft so it is pretty much identical to the other 6502 Microsoft BASICs like on the Commodore and OSI systems. Apple and Commodore both customized their Microsoft BASICs somewhat. If you benchmark Applesoft BASIC and Commodore BASIC, on systems with the same clock speed (eg. 1 MHz), they benchmark the same.

>Thanks for highlighting exactly what people actually mean when they initially try to talk about it with vague accusations of “most things classified as hate speech are actually harmless

Glad to be of assistance. Just because you feel objectively true narrative shattering facts are harmful doesn't mean they are. Not everyone is as thin-skinned, weak, and intolerant as you.

>doing so in the exact manner I had said you would

What exact manner, stating uncomfortable narrative shattering facts that overlords don't want anyone to see? I agree! I stated uncomfortable truth, facts, and reality that must be banned by those steeped in wokeism.

>complete with sock puppet accounts along the way.

None of those other posters are me. Hilarious how anyone who disagrees with you must be using sock puppets. It's a delusional take, which isn't surprising coming from someone who thinks men can get pregnant.
Just a question, do you remember a source for all the knowledge in your mind, or did you at least try to remember?

FWIW, I've seen stronger performance from gpt-4-1106-preview when I use `response_format: { type: "json_object" },` (providing a target typescript interface in context), vs the "tools" API.

More flexible, and (evaluating non-scientifically!) qualitatively better answers & instruction following -- particularly for deeply nested or complex schemas, which typescript expresses very clearly and succinctly.

Disclaimer: I work on Chisel and CIRCT, and these opinions are my own.

These are good points, and I think Chisel is actually improving in these areas recently. Chisel is now built on top of the CIRCT[1] compiler infrastructure, which uses MLIR[2] and allows capturing much more information than just RTL in the intermediate representations of the design. This has several benefits.

Regarding the problem of converting from HDL to System Verilog, and associating the tool outputs to your inputs: a ton of effort has gone into CIRCT to ensure its output is decently readable by humans _and_ has good PPA with popular backend tools. There is always room for improvement here, and new features are coming to Chisel in the form of intrinsics and new constructs to give designers fine grained control over the output.

On top of this, a new debug[3] intermediate representation now exists in CIRCT, which associates constructs in your source HDL with the intermediate representation of the design as it is optimized and lowered to System Verilog. Think of it like a source map that allows you to jump back and forth between the final System Verilog and the source HDL. New tooling to aid in verification and other domains is being built on top of this.

Besides this, the combination of Chisel and CIRCT offers a unique solution to a deeper problem than dealing with minor annoyances in System Verilog: capturing design intent beyond the RTL. New features have been added to Chisel to capture higher-level system descriptions, and new intermediate representations have been added to CIRCT to maintain this information and its association to the design. For example, you could add information about bus interfaces directly in Chisel, and have a single source of truth generate both the RTL and other collateral like IP-XACT. As the design evolves, the collateral stays up to date with the RTL. I gave a talk[4] at a CIRCT open design meeting that goes into more detail about what's possible here.

Well, the real problem is that children's eyes aren't getting enough sunlight exposure to trigger dopamine production, which regulates the lengthening of the eyeballs, while cooped up inside. Eye strain is muscle fatigue, unrelated to myopia.
Apple wins bid to pause Apple Watch ban at US appeals court
Because the issue isn’t the intake, it’s the output, where your analogy breaks down. If you could clone the brain of someone who was “trained” on decades of NYT and could reproduce its information on demand at scale, we’d be discussing similar issues.
If you view EU regulation as essentially a tax on US dominance of tech, it makes perfect sense.
BrainGPT – Brain to text interface [video]
Please read the article. Its about that.

I'll try to explain what I understood from the article: the natural sunlight makes your body release dopamine, dopamine causes the eye not to elongate, not elongation equals not having near-sightedness.

Probably I got that only half right.

Anyhow the article claims it's not looking at close things and the real cause is being inside.
At least in Slovenia, many new-ish houses also have a 3-phase outlet or two. I don't know what the maximum wattage of those is, but I do know it's a lot --- and on a single outlet.
I think the brain is designed to free up memory holding information that is not useful. Memory associated with a technical term like phrasal verb seems to be something it would garbage collect.

The brain will remember the term while it’s useful — to get a good grade on a test. After that, for most (almost all?) people it is useless to remember.
That's the subject of the article.
I've often wished for that HN feature as well. This is not the first HN thread where this situation has happened!

Very happy for the helpful replies though.
It’s trivial. Define it operationally as a collection of conditions (autism + adhd + depression) and plot the trend. Ask an LLM if you can’t do it yourself. You’ll find the definition you choose matters a lot but autism has increased and it’s worth researching that if you never have before!

Show HN: Meal planning app I built after losing 50kg myself in 2022
1500cals is a calorie and excercise tracking tool that I built after losing 50kg myself in 2022 through simply watching what I ate and starting to exercise.

The main "trick" I uncovered is simply to plan meals ahead. It sounds boring, it sounds annoying, but really its such a tiny effort for such outsized and life changing rewards that it should be a no-brainer.

The existing tools I found were more focused on tracking after eating which is great in terms of capturing data and measuring over time, but I found really didn’t help me with locking in a routine. I wanted to fix this and bring some of this planning side along with tracking into an easy to use app. This is 1500cals!
Imo add balance to the list. Balance practice can be weird, but helps a lot in preventing falls (along with strength, also necessary).

There's a lot of balance exercises out there which will seem like they're too "easy", and that may be because it's focused on like 80 year olds. If you find it too easy you can do stuff that they do for e.g. 3p rifle (a sport which is a majority about just standing there perfectly balanced):

https://www.issf-sports.org/news.ashx?newsid=3215

(Don't dig too deep into that route though because it will quickly get hyper focused on the meta of 3p. E.g. if you find yourself looking at MEC or Heinz Reinkemeier through looking for balance exercises, you've probably gone past the point where it's useful for general balance exercises lol)

Great resource. It is just ironic that the collapsed content of each item needs JS to be expanded and the collapsed content just contains a link to a new page. The collapse is needless at all. Even it is needed, it is easily to expand it with pure modern CSS.
