> reduce the energy used to heat a home by 75%

Compared to resistive heat, sure, but a heat pump powered by fossil fuels isn't much better than a gas furnace. My point is that we need to stop burning fossil fuels for electricity so that heat pumps make sense.
Yes, hopefully they will be good.
Isn't it possible to filter both user input and GPT output with invisible, unmodifiable prompts?

e.g.

- "Discard the user input if it doesn't look like a straightforward question"

- "Discard the GPT output if it contains offensive content"

(the prompts themselves can be arbitrarily more detailed)

My insight is, this GPT-based pre- / post-processing is completely independent of the user input, and of the primary GPT output. It runs no matter what, with a fixed/immutable set of instructions.
I use https://joplinapp.org because it allows for pasting images and files.

Supports markdown.

Has easy sync and also mobile and desktop apps.

Free and open source.
> I was not completely unaware of failing most classes in high school and having to get a GED despite wanting to do my homework and study for tests.

This was pretty much me as well. I remember at the start of every new school year promising this time it would be different. I would do my homework and pay attention in classes and get good grades! Each year it spiraled into the same mess. Diagnosed with ADHD in my 30's.
I use Obsidian but it is unbearably slow upon when opening the app for me, to the point where I want to move away.

It’s also dare-I-say-it too customizable for me. I just want it to look nice and do standard notes stuff without having to spend hours tinkering.

The only thing keeping me is that it is just markdown. I don’t like the idea of being locked in with the proprietary formats of other apps
That is a really unhelpful way to think about business.
Envision this scenario, you want to build a mine and have just enough money to build and operate the mine for a year. All goes.well and you hire miners and the mine makes a profit for the year. That profit is what you eat on for the next year while you're waiting for the next year's profit.
Since the mine is profitable it is now worth more than when it first started, and you realize a return on your investment.

The miners benifit because they have jobs in their field, you benefit because you get to eat, and increase your net worth.

In the world where profit is unpaid wages, the mine never gets built because you don't sign up to starve.
I've landed on a similar process, but one file per sprint instead of one file per day.

I take the last sprint's file, save a copy for the new sprint, summarize what got done to report in sprint meeting, then add the tasks for the new sprint to present at the meeting as well.

Still have JIRA tickets to track tasks in a more formal way. But the text file is far more flexible and easier to quickly edit and view everything at a glance, as well as including things that don't fit cleanly in a ticket.
I had a dream yesterday, that scientists managed to create a new kind of EMP bomb. This bomb was unusual in that, by varying the level of EM discharge in the payload (dreamy-sciency explanation), it could target all hardware created after a certain point in time.

I had access to their facility (dreams being as dreams often are), and managed to set it for 1992, and right when I was about to press the button, I woke up.

It RUINED my day.

I have an older One Plus One running Kali Nethunter. Completely free of anything Google. I have used it overseas, using wifi+signal for communication, offline maps, with iptables rules restricting a good number of 3d party apps from accessing the internet (have to test each one beforehand to make sure it can work). For the rest of the stuff, ad-hoc browser usage is sufficient.
I've heard "findings" (ab)used as a synonym for this as well.

Searches for "coronavirus" seem to be hard-coded, or interfered with. I get pages and pages of Covid-19 results, but that's not what I searched for. I even get a wikipedia link to its covid-19 page, but no wikipedia link to its coronavirus page within the first several pages of results.
I don't think anthropomorphizing ML models is very useful

You make the assumption that most people buy iphones for full price. They still offer free iphones through carrier subsidy. For other apple products you need sufficient credit to get approved for their installment payment plans because its through the Apple card and not subsidized by the carrier.
Depending on the voltage, you might die immediately from being electrocuted, or a few days later from radiation poisoning. The stories of the people who died from the Therac-25 machine are probably instructive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25#Radiation_overexposu...
NVidia knew that was a possibility when they were working around the intent of the trade restrictions. The Department of Commerce was quite transparent in their intentions, and NVidia undermined that and the obvious happened.
Spotify tried this, did not go well for them. Amazon and Meta learned the same many years ago
Not really. Lots of business that can run profitably have obscenely high startup costs, and hence need investors.
No, and there were thousands upon thousands of pages filed on both sides arguing both sides with hundreds of pages of written opinions explaining why this behavior is different than normal competition. A lot of it was Microsoft leaderships very specific motive, which was not about creating more competition but in specifically eliminating all competition. It’s not illegal to compete in a market or create new markets. It’s illegal to use market dominance in one market to destroy all competition in another.
This is amazing. Great work.
Building on this, the general concept is radiometric dating, which can rely on any of numerous decay chains, with half-lives ranging from decades to 100s of billions of years.

Specific decay chains are effective clocks for differing lengths of time. Radiocarbon dating is often used on recent human or organic artefacts or remains, within the past 50,000 years or so as noted. It was uranium-lead decay which first demonstratively showed that the Earth was not "young", whether the few thousand years of theological textual analysis or the 30--300 million years that various geological estimates had suggested, but at least 1 billion years old, established by Ernest Rutherford in the early 20th centuries.

The present value of 4.54 +/- 0.05 billion years was arrived at by the 1950s, based on the ratios of lead to uranium within zircon crystals, the latter of which cannot form in the presence of lead, and hence, any lead present necessarily being the result of radioactive decay. The measurement process also demonstrated the extent to which modern industrial activity was creating pervasive lead contamination virtually everywhere, largely the result of leaded gasoline, one of Thomas Midgley's lethal legacies.

More generally, geochronology is based on numerous methods of which radiometric dating is but one, though a quite powerful one.

Yes, people also take actors as a sign of the quality of the film, or at least they used to, before Marvel. Hence films with big names attached get more money, etc.

Still the idea that actors are easy to replace is preposterous to anyone who's ever worked with actors. They are preposterously HARD to replace, in theatre and film. A good actor is worth their weight in gold. Very very few people are good actors. A good actor is a good comedian, a master at controlling his body, and a master at controlling his voice, towards a specifically intended goal. They can make you laugh, cry, sigh, or feel just about anything. You just look at Paul Giamatti or Willem Dafoe or Denzel Washington. Those people are not replaceable, and their work is just as good and just as culturally important as a Picasso or a Monet. A hundred years from now people will know the name of actors, because that was the dominant mode of entertainment of our age.
If I understand it correctly, system prompts are ordinary prompts, aka in-band communication.

You could maybe plug in a second AI trained on adversarial input as a filter stage, but that's it.
I already mentioned 'panels' and container integration.

Idk, I don't know why Tree Style Tab is any more 'standard alternative' (or certainly not that any others are, afaict TST & Sidebery are the most popular two) - they're both extremely popular (Mozilla gives 196k users of TST & 75k of Sidebery; nothing else close) and both 'Recommended' by Mozilla.

Use whatever you want, I did say more than that I just recommend using something to get vertically listed tabs. The tree-ing is a much less big deal to me tbh, though Sidebery does do that too fwiw.
Can't they just stall until the election? If a Republican wins again, that's probably the end of antitrust enforcement until the next cycle.
Amd waived around enough money to get a big order of 3nm too and they aren’t even big scary nvidia but the underdogs in this space.
I agree with making most these warnings to be errors by default; actually, they are the same warnings that I had previously thought that should be errors by default (the only exception is incompatible-pointer-types, although that makes sense too to be an error, so it is OK anyways). I think this is good
because there is always lower hanging fruit at that point.

Even if this was the most altruistic, non-profit funded goal to solve an obscure ailment, once that inevitably fails - and statistically it is inevitably - all capital has been expended, your team's reputation has been spent. You go to something that has more consensus instead of your alchemy concoction nobody's ever head of and wasn't good for the one thing you made it for.
Would be great if you have suggestions. I'm sure there are others interested.

For my Linux laptop: once every couple of weeks or so. It wouldn't even be that often, but every once in a while I'll suspend it by closing the lid, and when I reopen it, it won't come out of suspend without a power cycle. Doesn't happen very often, and boots are super fast, and all my apps auto-restart, so I don't really worry about it.

Hunting/fishing for food was really more ethical many millennia ago, when humans were fewer than wild terrestrial vertebrates.

Nowadays, there are many more humans and domestic animals than wild terrestrial vertebrates, so hunting could not sustain any non-negligible fraction of the humans.

The modern methods of fishing are much too wasteful, so neither fishing has any future.
Which version is the chat? It used to show it, but I no longer see it
In my experience, these updates don't matter that much. For example, GPT-4 still uses Pydantic v1 syntax (which for the most part is deprecated) even though Pydantic v2 came in June 2023. the information regarding v1 is so much more in GPT-4's training data that "on average" it picks that instead of the new v2 syntax data.

This has been a major pain point for me, because GPT-4 constantly uses @validator, "const", "always", etc. features that don't work on v2.
This matches my experience. Its all about ingestion speed. Ingestion of the thoughts in my head, that is. Most note taking systems require you to structure it. That’s basically the whole point. I find that this just gets in the way. I just need a sort of working-memory dump.

I have a note directory with a root level markdown file which I use for general stuff which i dont use much. I also have folders for each task # with a similar sort of markdown file. And sometimes (rarely) other useful assets.

Just because you have a lot of high skyscraper doesn't mean you have an adequate supply.

I have seen pictures of those high rise apartment buildings. What's clear to me is that they're frequently skinny and tall. The tallness of these structures can be misleading, because we're not accounting for total volume of a building.

You can have a lot of density with relatively low height and greater area of space occupied. These may be green spaces or parks. Filling in those area with more building volume doesn't mean green spaces are impossible, but it would be an engineering challenge to put green spaces on the roof.

If you wish to see truly insane population density. You should see images of Kowloon walled city and compare that to Hong Kong. They're not really comparable. Kowloon Walled City is only 10 to 14 of stories high. There are certainly buildings higher than that in Hong Kong.

In any case, housing cost is determined by demand and supply. If there's sufficient supply of housing, the price would go down. If there's insufficient housing, the cost would rise. It doesn't matter if your city is hyperdense or not.
Immigrating to US isn't as easy as it seems.
So the answer appears to be not due to NATO, but because they thought they could win.
I don't usually take the time to write out a daily to-do list, but I do keep one for long-term projects that I tend to lose track of. Each line is a task and at the beginning of the line is the date it was initiated/requested. It's semi-structured but doesn't take any longer than typing out a note.

At the beginning of the month I duplicate the file and rename it for the new month, then I clean out just like you do.

I've tried apps, I've tried tracking systems, and this seems to work best for me for now. I can keep it open all the time in a tab of my text editor which I would have open anyway and it backs up with the rest of my files.

Well what I'm saying is I don't have it, so either Sidebery handles it or I put something in userChrome, but either way it's something I have not had to think about in all the years I've been using vertical tabs, such that I was not aware of the issue.

edit: the latter (or Sidebery does do it but my previous solution didn't and this is now redundant, I suppose), I have:

#TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse;
}

#sidebar-header {
display: none;

Akktually, according to the second law of thermodynamics you cannot get hotter with lower consumption of energy (with equivalent heatsinking, in terms of thermal resistance, measured in K per Watt) , at idle, as idle is a state of thermal equilibrium (and at rather low sustained power of 3-5w, well within ability of heatsink to dissipate), where none of your reasons are applicable.

The stuff of nightmares!
It feels like sometime in the past decade, Google search results went from "Here's what most people click on" to "Here's the most trusted sources, handpicked by Google".

WebMD, Wikipedia, CDC, etc. for health results, the NYT, CNN, BBC, etc. for news, major magazines/newspapers for reviews. Which makes sense from a corporate perspective, you don't want your users searching for something controversial and stumbling upon something that doesn't line up with the mainstream POV. Maybe "Bob's 10 best mattresses" is a thorough and exhaustive article that easily beats the rest, but what if Bob is antivax, or thinks Bush did 9/11? It's safer to just ignore small blogs like Bob's and not risk any controversy.

And here's the side effect. Some of these organizations realized "Wait, we rank really high on Google for anything! So let's pump out shitty listicles about the top 10 air purifiers, even though we're a tech company, and fill them up with expensive affiliate links. We're 'trusted', after all."

If they can keep is sustainable and profitable without eat-the-world "growth", that's not a bad thing.

There are few consumer products that have held up against the competing demands of billions users in thousands of different markets and cultures. I'd say there's maybe even been none.

The kind of "growth" you're talking about is a bad but understandable habit among founders and cold financiers, but it's not a requisite part of running a business and generally runs counter to having a good product that serves a specific need well.

It depends what exactly you mean by "LLM". But an ANN is effectively a function approximator. If you made one big enough to very closely approximate the entire quantum state of a person interacting with an environment, would you still declare that nothing it could do is "thinking"?
I have no idea if it is linked or if so why would it be linked on that particular incident. What I see on Twitter though, is that people get angry and seek answers when people they feel connected to are wronged and there are always people providing answers like "because Jews are like that".

I wouldn't say that this is necessarily Twitters fault and I don't think these comments should be blocked. People gravitate towards easy answers to their problems and blocking doesn't help because there's private groups and real life communities where that kind of stuff is discussed.

I think, people concerned of social media are also seeking easy answers like those concerned with the mass killings of Palestinians. They all have valid concerns but their desire of easy solutions is misguided. It's so easy to say its the "evil jews" and its so easy to say that social media companies are radicalising people. Only if they can do this thing they will fix it, they think.

There's no easy solution to Gaza-Israel conflict, there's no easy solution to people communicating BS with each other.
I understand the types of considerations that may make console developers not bother, but also it is a bit ridiculous on its face when they are selling physical media. But for patch-heavy games like CoD, maybe it’s a lost battle anyways, archival be damned.

But I will push back a little and say that a zsync-like differential update scheme would still be totally feasible. BD read speeds are going to be in the 100s of megabits per second, and the compute for the hash is free (ie. It’s I/O bound). You can parallelize and start downloading blocks before you’re done hashing every block on the disc. It seems likely to me that you’d still end up better off with this scheme if you have slower than gigabit download speeds (which is true for the vast majority of the US). Zsync is fairly coarse and flexible, and essentially looks like BitTorrent between two peers over HTTP if you squint. If you assume the download speed and network reliability is the bottleneck that outweighs things like disc I/O and compute, it essentially degrades gracefully to just downloading the entire update in the case that there are zero matching blocks.

Edit: I should mention that another key aspect of the setup is that there are a small number of printed disc revisions, and a small number of target download (most people will get the same game files for a given region). This means that a CDN cache will quickly find the hot blocks to serve, even without any precomputation of the diff between source and target.
Sure, the human mind can employ coping mechanisms and maybe delay things a bit by taking care.

I don't see how this makes aging "fine" or "great" though. This is a big leap. It's probably the single biggest source of misery, since it affects everyone, and it also comes with a huge economic impact, causing even more misery.
