FDO has a code of conduct and this person wasn't behaving in a manner permissible by the CoC.

Not agreeing with the CoC is one thing, but FDO is a community and it needs to be able to create a safe and inclusive space for its members.

I'm a FDO member and I see no problem here, the CoC existing and being upheld is a good thing.
And some folks have to put their bags in an overhead bin further back in the plane than their seat. This really slows things down when getting off the plane, as they have to fight their way back before going forward to leave.
Right? And even if you are in such a dire position that you literally have no oppurtunity to speak to people irl - that's bad. You need to be helped to leave that situation immediately, not given an LLM. You can literally die from never having proximity to humans.
It’s a workaround, but it bloats the interior pages of the index with the covering data, which increases the size of the index and makes lookup less efficient (as they have to traverse more interior pages, and since there are more pages those are less likely to remain in cache).

When zooming in, I get "renderer is busy" which hangs the map for a second or two, and I was curious as to why. I'm running it locally so it isn't network bound. CPU does spike (for process "gnome-terminal-server") but doesn't seem to get anywhere near 100% (for any core). Do you know what it's waiting on when it prints "renderer is busy"?
It's so weird that Hollywood has trained us to think that a TUI is much more hacky/bleeding-edge/pro than a GUI.

We are a very compassionate society. There are dating and matchmaking services for people with virtually every kind of disability, including those who absolutely can not care for themselves, and modern health infrastructure affords the mentally disabled and other selective pressures (narrow birth canal and many other issues) to carry to term.

The same evolutionary pressures don't apply to humans at the moment with regard to sex. Not while civilization is a thing, anyway.

The premise of the study implies otherwise. They took a group of "true believers" of conspiracies. Those who are skeptical of mainstream narratives. They were also told they are conversating with AI.

The study notes that these types of beliefs have not been shown to be swayed by other methods as such efforts have previously failed.

So your rebuttal is that isolated examples of this technology being beneficial outweight the mass societal cost of people becoming more isolated in general? And I simply do not see how the need for "private space" and "practising social skills" go hand in hand.

Yes, everyone needs their alone time. And everyone needs social contact (except maybe some exceptions, maybe...). Both can be accomplished WITHOUT technology, and much more easily.

Don't you think if someone needs private space and isn't getting, that's something that should be dealt with away from technology?

Some recent figures from the IEA suggested that electric 2 and 3 wheelers were currently displacing more oil demand than electric cars.

Almost all the stories seem to pitch this as a battle between the two camps, when I feel the obvious conclusion is that they'll accelerate each other as they both make people comfortable and familiar with electric motors and their various benefits (lower noise, pollution, running costs , oil imports etc.)

They also pair well with electric busses and trains for last mile transport of people and electric trucks for last mile delivery of goods.
Sounds like a ‘mipmap’ sort of approach could be useful. Add the whole document, then the chapters, then paragraphs.

How does the system know how much context is required, though? If I ask “Steve wears turtlenecks, what company does Steve work at?” then a paragraph about a Steve who likes turtlenecks and a paragraph about a Steve who works at MS would both be highly relevant but when combined they would result in the wrong answer.
From the article:

> However, one key patent — the "840" patent — is not set to expire until 2033. To stave off potential competitors, it describes the AIM technology very broadly. In a surprise move at February's CPSC hearing, TTS Tooltechnic Systems North America CEO Matt Howard announced that the company would "dedicate the 840 patent to the public" if a new safety standard were adopted. Howard says that this would free up rivals to pursue their own safety devices or simply copy SawStop's. At the hearing, he challenged them "to get in the game."

So there apparently is still a patent in effect. They claim they'll dedicate it to the public, though it's unclear what that means in this case. Maybe they should preemptively do so before any laws are passed, especially if they're pushing for its widespread use anyway.
If everyone was like Switzerland the CO2 (equiv.) emissions would go significantly down. Their electricity grid is made of hydro and nuclear, and fossil fuels in the energy grid are the single highest source of emissions by a factor of 2. Consumption-based emissions would also go down since since energy use is a large aspect in production of products. Transportation would likely rise given how much mountains there are, but at the same time, their location in Europe is fairly central making transportation routes a bit shorter. At the same time they lack oceans, and ocean based transportation has both great and terrible emissions based on how one chooses to look at it.

Naturally one can not make every country to be identical to every other. Geographical differences, population differences, cultural and historical differences all play a major role in defining what a country is and how that effects statistics around emissions. Per capita emissions in particular is very much influenced by things like historical wars and genocides, borders and maps, trade, agriculture, and much more. Per capital calculations are one of multiple mathematical data points where if we normalize and apply additional data points we can find some indication of possible places where savings in emissions might occur. It can not be applied universally to all countries as if all countries could be made equivalent.

You can definitely tell when an ORM was written by people who actually -like- databases rather than people who want to not have to think about them.

perl's DBIx::Class ORM had a rule from day one of "if you can't get the exact same SQL you'd've written by hand, that's either a bug or a missing feature" and close to two decades on people who've moved to other languages still regularly tell me they miss that aesthetic.

Focusing solely on taxes misses the point that most people do not fully utilize "included" baggage allowances on domestic trips, and that is pure profit.

Let's assume a $40 bag fee: $25 cost to handle the bag, $3 tax, $12 profit.

If people pay for the bags separately, in addition to their $220 ticket, they will only pay for utilized bags, so for 1 bag, the profit will be $12.

If the $300 ticket bundle includes 2 allowed bags, but people only check 1 bag, then the profit is: $80 - 2$6 (tax) - 1$25 (cost) = $49 profit, more than 4 times bigger!

The real reason is the comparison sites as the HN commenters pointed out, but the result is not always bad, because the savings is real in many cases as people indeed would only pay for one bag on average ($220+$40 = $260) instead of $300.

I think airlines are much less happy with the separated fees than consumers, but once one airline does it, the others are forced to do it. The same happened with the international trips, which clearly has no tax reason. Many years ago it included 2 pieces of 70-pound bags, then 2 50-pound bags, then 1 50-pound bag, and now in many cases, on basic tickets, nothing at all.

Bart picked India broad gauge. While it isn't common in the US, it is common in the world (mostly India as you can tell by the name) and so there are plenty of off the shelf train components available in the world market (though the US often has goofy Buy American rules that get in the way). Even at that the only difference is the axles which are easy for any manufacture to substitute on an otherwise off the shelf train.

Don't get me wrong, I think BART should have just gone with standard gauge. However the gauge isn't goofy and is not a source of big problems.

Glad you liked it! My co-author and I spent some time trying to find a good spread of questions covering different aspects of LLMs. And we were also surprised by how hard it was to convince GPT-4 that Queen Elizabeth II had died a lot of the time.

Current Arc GPUs silicon is extremely unimpressive. They're ~400mm^2 dies with 256 bit busses, but they're only performance competitive with GPUs that are around half their size (3060/6600xt, and the 6600xt only has a 128bit bus). Similar sized GPUs from AMD or Nvidia are around 50% faster.

They often require log in to see the whole article. Later they cap your access to articles to N per some period of time. The only way around that is to purchase a subscription. Given the weak offering of Medium, it’s seldom worth the $/month cost of a subscription for the few jewels that might appear.
It doesn't feel like a totally satisfying answer, but I tend to agree. Personally I just bought an old Macbook Air and installed Pop!_OS on it and love it. I was thinking more in terms of being green and saving some bucks rather than political reasons, but I suppose it's a factor as well. I also run a business on off-lease servers, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is on that (though again it's more about avoiding the big cloud oligarchs and saving some money there as well).
Dove Pledges Never to Use AI to Represent Real Women in Its Advertising
That TUI program reminds me: back in the day, on Xenix systems, there was a program (it may have been an optional install) called 'learn'. Learn gave you basic lessons in how to manage files with the Unix command line utilities: moving, copying, deleting, editing, etc. At the end of each lesson it would test you by dropping you into a fake shell with a fake file system and having you perform the appropriate commands. It would respond the way a real shell would, and if you screwed up the worst thing that would happen was having to repeat the lesson.

I think that when it comes to complicated things like shells and programming languages, allowing the learner to play with the concepts involved is super important. So, thanks for reflecting that in the program.
My comment is mainly focused on a difference in government oversight in devloping countries, I make the assumption that less developed nations have less standard procedures and regulatory requirements.

That is absolutely not true. It's hard to describe just how wrong your assessment of Taiwan's tea situation. The only way I can imagine you coming to that conclusion is that your experience with Taiwan tea is walking through the Ximen night market, but you just walk around random neighbourhoods in Taipei you'll find dozens of Tea shops. If you spend a little time driving through Taiwan's mountains you'll find plenty of Tea plantations, some of them with tea shops attached to them and others not.

I think this is a good taxonomy/sequence to note

1) Observing

2) Understanding as bad

3) Reporting (or fixing)

4) Closing the loop on remedy

Both proprietary and open code runs into problems at (3) because
people don't want to hear it, for commercial or ego reasons.

With FOSS at least you get the direct intervention route of simply
fixing and publishing the patch, which done responsibly may or not
force a maintainer's hand. With proprietary you can piss into the wind
and be ghosted, or sued, hence more irresponsible/anonymous
disclosure.

Anything that maximises the likelihood of getting from (1) to (4)
safely must be a good thing, so I think FOSS yields the better
security model.
> Though, can you help me understand the connection between the grocery store checkout process and community a bit more?

It can be viewed on multiple levels.

First, there are many papers on the psychological literature about this, but [1] is an example, which is that even a little social contact with a few real people can make a person feel better. Check out Google scholar or the article I linked below to learn more. But that is also intuitive. But if a person is feeling a bit down and they have the "easy way out" (self checkout, other technologies that diminish casual human interaction), they will not gain the benefit of human contact.

Second, on a greater scale, if all these little things add up, people will seek out interactions less often. For example, a few years ago I ran into some strangers that became friends because I needed their help to find a rare bird (I'm a birder). If I had an advanced AI app that listened for bird calls and helped me find birds better than any human, I might never have made friends with them.

The point is, when technology is lacking to do something, we are more likely to seek out people to help us. Yes, technology does make some parts of life easier, but there must be a BALANCE, and not this recent trend of automating EVERYTHING, which takes the self-reliance thing to its logical extreme.
