The problem is not obsession with the gut, but that the entire notion of gut microbiota is being misappropriated by snake oil salesmen and "alternative medicine" crazies while healthcare professionals continue to have zero incentive to keep up with new science or go above the usual "eh idk your basic bloodwork is fine, must be in your head", and people are clever enough to home in on there being something wrong, but not to be rational about it.

As far as the science goes, probiotics have modest ability to improve gut biota and may sometimes worsen it, while the effects of diet are nearly strictly temporary despite rapid changes. The only thing that's been shown to reliably effect big, durable changes is Fecal Microbiota Transplantation - and even then, the response rate for most disorders is limited due to how entrenched the existing microbiome is and difficulty of transferring sensitive strains, especially for conditions like IBS that appear to often entail antibiotic-resistant biofilms. For a healthy microbiome, even sugar has minor effects unless consumed all day every day.

Past that, there's science linking elevated gut bacteria toxins levels and antibodies with depression, fatigue, neurodegenerative disease, or demonstrating large influences of certain microbes or their metabolites on conditions like diabetes, ADHD, autism, hypertension, PCOS. Some conditions seem to be caused by other infections, like endometriosis(endometrial bacterial infiltration), UTIs in elderly, especially women, oral gingivitis bacteria contributing to Alzheimer's Disease and cardiovascular disease, or herpesviral (re)activation and AD and ME/CFS, though I suspect that may be secondary to other immune system activation.

Also: Almost all diarrhea is caused either by C. Difficile or by deficiency of SCFA-producing microbes. The only way to get bloating is by bacterial fermentation of stuff that shouldn't be being fermented. And sure, changes in gut motility and physiological function affect that, but the microbiome has been demonstrated to be a significant predictor of all of it.

Animal models replicate anorexia in mice using stool transplants from ill humans(Parkinson's, schizophrenia's neurological changes, too), gut dysbiosis predicts colorectal cancer, butyrate production predicts energy levels in healthy volunteers and disease severity in ME/CFS patients... and the list goes on and on and on.

It's not the ONLY thing wrong with people, so many of us have undiagnosed breathing-related sleeping disorders - apnea is often scored using antiquated, insufficiently sensitive criteria, and many young people, especially women, wake up so fast and often that apneas/hypopneas barely happen, termed Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome. Urogenital dysfunction seems typically related to pelvic floor function and posture&breathing. ME/CFS often persists after a single viral trigger, and Long COVID can be just as bad.

But overall? Yeah, almost everything links back to inflammation, and usually the gut, to a point that makes treating everything as a mental disorder and psychiatry look as barbaric as their origins in mental asylums and lobotomies.

I have a completely un-worked thought that the music industry might have some clues. As music becomes more and more entrenched in codified process ie pop culture music. It all starts to become very generic.

I'm starting to notice that music is returning to the old way of discovery. Where you hear music from a 3rd party that is playing it and ask them who that is. There is no longer a good bubble to the top source like radio because the corps have cannibalized themselves with production line pop music that has to play on their vertical stack of companies or be licensed. Seems the stuff I find now is some artist with less than 100k followers like (I'm guessing) back in the pre internet days.

Tell HN: Google mobile web's "ask a follow up question" UX is annoying
On iOS mobile web, if you Google something, and then you tap on the Google search box (not the Safari search box), it will automatically scroll you down to the "Ask a follow up question" AI box.

It hijacks the normal Google search box and scrolls you down automatically. Basically, Google is forcing you to use its AI rather than its search.

I can't believe Google would allow this UX dark pattern. How the mighty has fallen.

I concur. Getting a percentage of profit makes you a taxman, and companies will optimize the accounts to pay less tax.

In other words translate the phrase "profit share" to "voluntary donation" and the meaning will be the same.

If you want uncapped upside then it has to be based on revenue, but even then it can easily be manipulated (A sell to B for pennies, which you get a share of, B sells to the market for the real money.)

This is one of those cases where you should have a minimum-number in place, and you should be OK doing the work for just the minimum number. Treat anything else as Voluntary Bonus.
A quick look at the codebase seems to indicate that it doesn't. This seems very targeted at LLMs.

I wish the culture would change to allow for people to be told off if they are annoying or stupid or annoyingly stupid. Especially when they are complaining about something offered for free.

If it's a really dumb/lazy issue created in your own GitHub repository, you should have every right to roast them. I feel like this actually might be one of the only tangible benefits of maintaining a popular open source repo.

I actually might include that as a clause in the license for a future open source effort.
Honestly, the outcomes of statistical tests are so correlated that if your question is "is there a relationship between these numbers", it really doesn't matter which test you do.

The AI algorithms that ban people from platforms like Google and GitHub do that, which I explicitly called out as needing more oversight.

That is different from algorithms which just prevent you from doing something on a platform like using n-bombs in your username, or the LLM guardrails that just give you mangled answers or tell you that they can't do that. That isn't analogous to getting arrested.

And in these cases the analogy really falls apart because it isn't your home, and it isn't critical for your life.

I think you're mistaken here, and confusing two different usages of cat.

"Useless" uses of cat aren't bad habits during interactive usage, for all the reasons people mention here which I won't rehash.

For scripts, however, the story is different than for one-off commands. For one thing, it's slower due to the extra forks and copying of data across pipes, so there's at least that. For another, it prevents the command from inspecting the other end of its pipe, which can negatively impact usage in some case. (For example, if the program knows its input is from a terminal, it may flush its output on every newline it sees.) Moreover, a bunch of the arguments for the interaction case (like "it's fewer keystrokes" or whatever) don't even apply to the script case in the first place...

The end result here is that you definitely shouldn't assume some habit is just fine with scripting merely because it's fine when you're typing on the terminal, or vice-versa.

Unless you want voting rights on how to spend all the money (which you can't have) the accounts, audited or not, are meaningless.

Businesses make 100 decisions a week on spending money. All of it comes out of "profit". Most of it is necessary. Some of it isn't. Some is ultimately wasteful but 'seemed like a good idea at the time.' Some is there to reduce profit so to pay less tax. (In good years it's legitimately good to replace ageing equipment, do repairs, pay staff bonuses and so on.)

In essence, by taking a profit share you are committing to be paid -last- the lowest priority of all. It's a terrible idea.

If you want variable returns it has to be based on -revenue- and even then you're relying on the customers goodwill.

Before solvers people still implemented strategies, so I'm not sure what you mean when you ask what my exploitation is based on.

I think GTO is a great way to think about the game. I don't think studying solvers is important to understand the game well, or GTO. When solvers provide an insight, it generally trickles out to the poker community and we all hear about it. It's much easier to digest traditional educational content than to futz around with a solver, and a much better use of time for a new player.
It's a penny stock. It's going to double and halve all the time.

> I'm sure the man hour cost of dataset curation on Phi-2 were higher than its training compute cost.

There's no indication of human curation.

From the first paper

> We annotate the quality of a small subset of these files (about 100k samples) using
GPT-4: given a code snippet, the model is prompted to “determine its educational value for a student
whose goal is to learn basic coding concepts”.
We then use this annotated dataset to train a random forest classifier that predicts the quality of
a file/sample using its output embedding from a pretrained codegen model as features. We note that
unlike GPT-3.5, which we use extensively to generate synthetic content (discussed below), we use GPT-4
minimally only for annotations on the quality of a small subset of The Stack and StackOverflow samples.

>Given that, even if the compute for synthetic data put the total compute cost over curation costs I don't think it's on an order that would contradict my point.

Don't worry that's not even necessary. 96 A100 GPU's for 2 weeks straight is a ~50k USD Endeavour. It'll be somewhat less for the likes of Microsoft but so will inference of GPT-4, GPT-3.

Even if we forget about compute costs of those more powerful models, inference costs of the generated tokens won't be anywhere near that amount.

I am not sure why it matters how long you’ve been at a company.

If you stayed at a company for six months and got a Nobel prize for the work during your stay, that beats working sixty years at that same company at average performance.

If you look into how the criteria is chosen its very arbitrary. And this descriptive diagnosis where you pick from list A and B is extremely bizarre from a common sense standpoint. And there is no brain imaging or genetic markers available.

You can probe what was learned if you have access to the model; it'll tell you, especially if you do it before applying the safety features.

A good heuristic for whether they would train user chats into the model is whether this makes any sense. But it doesn't; it's not valuable. They could be saying anything in there, it's likely private, and it's probably not truthful information.

Presumably they do do something with responses you've marked thumbs up/thumbs down to, but there are ways of using those that aren't directly putting them in the training data. After all, that feedback isn't trustworthy either.
