Keep in mind that work from home doesn't literally mean work from home. One can 'work from home' in an office, on the train, or even in a field out in the middle of nowhere. It means work from wherever, whenever. It represents autonomy. It is the autonomy that is enviable. A manual labourer needing to be at a remote location in order to do the job, but able to come and go as he pleases, would be met with similar statements of "Good for you", "You are lucky".

If you, instead, told that you were locked in your bedroom from 9-5 and if you so much as stop moving your mouse you will be instantly fired, "I'm sorry" would assuredly follow. It is not the "from home" part that you are being congratulated on.
Is it important whether the group was radicalised by Joe-Blow Nobody or Bob from accounting himself?

Depending on what your threat profile is, if you are being targeted by nation-state actors, you do not have the best chance of coming out the other side unscathed. I don't think that switching from MS to various open source infrastructure is going to help you, especially when you consider the fairly reasonable reality that most advanced state actors probably have multiple zero days in various software projects stored in case they need to use them.
As an example, look at the second link on HN right now: https://neal.fun/infinite-craft/

> Macros achieve a limited version of a fexpr with much more complicated semantics

Neither of these ideas rings true.

While there are things that fexprs can do that macros cannot, the reverse is also true.

Macros have the opportunity to work with the source code before it is executed. Macros can issue diagnostics. Also, macros have access to the compilation environment, which can be an entirely separate machine from the run-time environment. Macros can bring in materials from auxiliary files, which would not be found on the target.

A system build on fexprs rather than macros should incorporate the concept of static checking functions. For each fexpr, two additional functions should be required:

- a function which knows how to statically code-walk the form which is the target of the fexpr. Perhaps of this form:

(lambda (form recurse-fn)
;; function identifies, inside form, all expressions that are
;; forms and calls (recurse-fn subform) for each such subform
)

- a function which knows how to check the form for errors, so the programmer can be informed about misuses of the fexpr before it is actually called on the target system.

Unhygienic macros do not have complicated semantics. However, it should be acknowledged that hygiene is more naturally achieved in fexprs without effort: the fexpr's own local variables and functions are very clearly separated from evaluations of argument material, that being done by an explicit eval call, using the correct environment passed into the fexpr. A macro's local variables are likewise clearly separated, but those are expansion time. A macro has to inject new variables into the generated code which a fexpr doesn't have to do: a fexpr can use its own local variables to hold run-time temporaries related to the calculation, whereas a macro cannot do that: for run-time temporaries, it has to generate code, combining that with the argument material. Those temporaries are then in the same scope, and have to be gensyms.
Calm down. I don't think that, I'm saying a lot of people will read it that way because the previous draw is the only existing point of comparison. Think about how people use language casually vs the very specific approach of a math textbook.
Their reasoning for not using tools or browsing from the "Limitations" section:

"No GPT-4 tool usage: Due to our security measures, the GPT-4 models we tested were used without any tools, such as Advanced Data Analysis and Browsing. Enabling the usage of such tools could non-trivially improve the usefulness of our models in this context. We may explore ways to safely incorporate usage of these tools in the future."
Fermi wasn’t talking about detection when he came up with the paradox. There was no SETI yet. He did a back of the napkin calculation that a civilization could colonize the galaxy in 1 to 100 million years with sublight speeds. The galaxy is much older than 100 million years, so where is everyone? There’s been plenty of time for many civilizations to show up here.
There is no 'street parking' next to shopping centers/malls, it's all organized parking lots (usually underground, below the shopping center). What kind of a shopping center requires you to park on the street?

I live in a relatively small city with a pedestrian zone "historic center", and all of the larger...ish shopping centers are outside the city center, and larger stores are on the 'edge' of the city. Both the stores and restaurants in the city center are tourist-based and so are many residential properties that are now just airbnbs causing the housing crisis to be even worse. On a rainy january afternoon (so, last week for us), the city center is dead. No toursts, noone goes there to shop, since you can go futher out with a car, noone goes there to walk around, since it's raining, so it's just a few people that work there during the day and not even them in the afternoon. I mean.. why would you go to shop there, if you can drive to the edge of the city, where you can park without issues, buy stuff and drive it home?
Ya I think they are called loot boxes
I managed to kinda break it. I managed to get “Steam Engine” and “Hacker”. I combined those to make “Steam Punk”. (Fair enough.)

Everything that’s combined with Steam Punk ends up being stupid and boring.

Steam Punk + Zombie = “Steam Zombie”

Steam Punk + Hacker = “Steam Hacker”

Steam Punk + UFO, which you’d think would be “Zeppelin” or something, is instead “Steam UFO”.

Steam Punk + Illusion is, bafflingly, “Steampunk”, all one word, and with a different emoji!

Offensive operations are integral to achieving military strategy, including defenses. Passively defending has always been used to create conditions favorable to resuming offensive operations because only offensive operations get things done. Militarily, "defensive operations" include attacking the enemy
Asking if humanity can invent a machine to protect itself from the existential threats created by the other machines it has invented to me does not sound that intelligent. This is always the pattern; the "greatest minds" invent a machine to kill, then another great technician invents a machine to kill that machine, and so on. Presuming that total security can be achieved mechanically, and in that pursuit bringing about only more insecurity.

Humanity can barely manage the existential risks for which it is not responsible; entering into an AI arms race with itself seems completely unnecessary, but I'm certain it will happen for the reasons already mentioned.
Keyboard shortcuts don't have the discoverability of a menu interface but are good for power users. Ideally they would complement each other.

I really like the ergonomics of pie menus, though my experience is limited to Blender. Navigating linear menus require more fine movements than flicking the mouse in one of 8 or fewer directions. And the direction of mouse movement becomes muscle memory the way a keyboard shortcut does. I find a pie menu works well in a mouse-heavy workflow like 3D modelling. But there are definitely applications where it wouldn't be the right fit.

The article seems pretty incoherent. It's not clear if the AI was watching static or actual TV content. If it's static, then why bother flipping through channels?
Yep, and this is what has to be crushed.
This is similar to how human minds work, things are bland when it’s predictable like stories, work like factories. We would tend to avoid it

It's a list of historically underrepresented characteristics, and membership in one group does not imply membership in all. "Tall, dark, and handsome" doesn't mean everyone tall is tan.

Why argue much about a single level of simulation when you could instead try the majesty of an infinite tower of simulations within simulations. Why would it stop at a single level ? What is the nature of consciousness within a simulated universe ? What is the nature of consciousness within an infinite tower of simulated universes ? Think big, think weird.

This is a good point. Who is to say if there is a difference between receiving hateful letters to one’s home and not receiving hateful letters to one’s home?

This is bad journalism because it is a report of events that happened, good journalism would have been a levelheaded piece about how Tan is probably a good guy and we should probably agree with his politics

Sure, but I mostly need milk for coffee, and sometimes for stuff like puddings, so a liter of milk either lasts a week, or I just need two liters right now for a unplanned batch of pudding/milk rice/etc. UHT is good enough for both. I don't drink milk directly.

> 23andMe had a data breach this fall that exposed nongenetic information of 6.9 million customers

Why does it specify "nongenetic"? Is it because the passwords were exposed? Doesn't that mean that any information accessible with those passwords can also be considered breached?
I've now managed to get both "Spaceship" and "Space Ship". I feel like this game really needs to have some logic to avoid having two words that are essentially identical.
I wouldn't say that AI has "zero" common sense. Rather it has a lot of common sense. For example, I wondered what would happen with "wind" and "paper". Perhaps paper ... storm? No, "kite". It's better than me.
I had a time when I listened to CDs that were ripped and then compressed to 128kbps MP3. One day I had the CD and just listened to it straight on the computer through headphones and was blown away by how much I was missing on the MP3. My take is 192kbps MP3 is a lot better and 320kbps is basically transparent.

I got a really great set of Yamaha speakers at our reuse center and, similarly, found a whole new world in some recordings (everything by the Super Furry Animals except their first album) but then found others (anything by Foreigner) sounded just the same as they always did on FM radio.
> A general rule - if an insurance company isn't involved HIPAA doesn't apply.

Not exactly. If you go to most any healthcare provider, and pay out-of-pocket, HIPAA still applies. More accurately, HIPAA applies to any healthcare providers who transmits any health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction covered by 45 C.F.R. §160.103. Or in other words, basically every healthcare provider is also a covered entity, unless they're completely 100% cash only and don't take insurance for anyone ever. Do these even exist?

Although, still 23andMe wouldn't be covered because they're not providing healthcare services.

>biological threat creation process (ideation, acquisition, magnification, formulation, and release)

I remember watching a hacker/programmer who was livestreaming how to datamine the rna of the corona virus when covid first started. One of the crazy things he rambled about was how cheap it is for a layman to download a copy of it and synthesize it with some rna printing service. I haven't thought about that possibility before and was terrified. You mean you can create a bioweapon out of bytes?!?

The only thing that brought me comfort at the time was knowing that I was on a niche part of the internet and most normal people in the height of a pandemic would not be thinking about how to make a bad situation worse (except for these hacker types who are always thinking about offense/defense). And that the terrorists who would do it probably don't have the skills to pull it off.

Now with these LLMs, I'm not so sure anymore.
Cynical me smells a PR move
> That's just your opinion man.

Yeah. A lot of debate can be boiled down to a disagreement about which contributing factor is bigger, based on gut feeling and circumstantial arguments. If you’re lucky… some people won’t accept multiple factors at all.
As a additional twist it might be fun to also have the option to 'remove' one concept from the other.

Currently i have 'Wind farm' and I'd wish i could try going to 'farm' by removing 'wind' from it.
Thank you for the feedback. Apologies for the crappy response. This is still super nascent technology and I’m still working on improving the search process. In my eyes the real value here lies in data enrichment from other sources allowing you to get a really deep understanding of a company. I am actively building out that functionality now.

That's not curiosity, that's trying to get a reward through randomness. Loot boxes are like being hungry, going to your kitchen, and picking 3 random ingredients to combine. The mayonnaise, raw onion, and ice cube soup is not so good. So you try again. Eventually you land on cooked spaghetti, butter, and cheese. This encourages you to keep trying.

Curiosity is more like scrolling on social media. You know there have been interesting things there before, so you keep looking for more interesting things.
This is a great use-case!
> Quantization in ML refers to a technique used to make it possible to run certain AI models on less powerful computers and chips by replacing specific long numeric sequences in a model’s architecture with shorter ones.

It’s always amusing when the press tries to explain technical concepts. Quantization just means substituting high precision numeric types with lower precision ones. And not specific “numeric sequences”, all numbers.
The retracted paper discusses an association since it was observational:

> We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios... between self-reported hearing aid use status (hearing loss with or without hearing aids) at baseline and risk of dementia

The top-level article discusses a randomized controlled study and therefore can make a much stronger claim of causality:

> The researchers randomly assigned participants to one of two interventions. About half received hearing aids and instruction in how to use them. The other half were assigned to a health education program focused on promoting healthy aging. Both groups received follow-up visits every six months to reinforce the training.
These crazy left right extremists fits the bill
Space is filled with cosmic rays, mostly protons, going in all directions. Most of them have energies under 10 GeV (99.6% c). But if you start racing through that flux at a very high speed yourself, their velocity relative to you will be boosted in the direction you're traveling, and you'll briefly see a high-energy particle beam coming through the windshield before your eyes are cooked.

If you get going really, really, really fast, a similar thing happens with the blue-shifted cosmic microwave background.

Indeed, Apple has shown not just once but multiple times that they'll happily blow up their entire development ecosystem, whether it's software (Mac Finder vs. MacOS X) or hardware (68k, PPC, Intel, and now ARM). I think Intel didn't expect Apple to switch architectures so quickly and thoroughly and got caught flat-footed.
I was part of a study of bone marrow donors. Basically a short phone call every year. The questions were solely about physical effects, but each time I tried to explain psychological effects similar to PTSD. I have heard similar stories from other donors. The grad students on the phone were sympathetic but as far as I can tell there was no way to push that information up the chain. They had a checklist and that was it.

Results look comparable to Medium indeed (I’m using it via Mistrals API, since I got sick of OpenAI switching their stuff up). Medium is pretty great, somewhere between 3.5-turbo and 4-turbo qualitatively. Would be awesome to have out there.
