Well... About repairing I've conducted a very casual and limited assessments between friends, colleagues, families etc on ICE vs BEV MTBF and while absolutely not statistically meaningful the result is that even with the crappy crapload of crapware BEV have they are already more reliable than ICE counterparts. So well, repairing in case of incidents will be more expensive, but in current usage they tend to fail less. About costs: if you look at China or India cheap-but-reasonable BEV (400km/250miles) well, they seems not to be more and more expensive but less and less. It's here in the west that, perhaps thanks to decades of destruction of substantial research and development "to maximize profits", we see price going higher and higher while we resell more and more Chinese stuff rebranded.

Long story short: it's here that the Green tech fail, not all other the world. As a result people in cities became more and more poor to a point they simply can't own a car anymore. It's not a "nice evolution thanks to" but a "forced regression".
I think of SPACs the same way I think of Regulation Crowdfunding [1]. If the company could have reasonably IPOd, they would have; if they're opting for a reduced process method, it's likely because they wouldn't look good in the traditional process, and it's best to avoid them.

OTOH, it's not like I'm investing in individual stocks anyway, I'm on team Boglehead, and everything is in index funds, other than equity based compensation which I don't have at the moment.

> the original idea was to not allow them to mistype the first one, then paste the typo in the second field.

correct. the other analysis here is wrong. we see similar for payments where user is not allowed to paste in ACH info.

but this isn’t exactly about user error per se. this is about support cost for bad entries. if the user types a wrong password during registration the recovery of such is very hard. the common user (even of a product like fusion) is VERY unsophisticated and will have severe problems recovering. the more advanced user will have plugins that disable paste disabling. the middle skill user (like in the post) will get past it on their own.

so net net this is just another case of this is why we can’t have nice things. they “have to” address that bottom (skill) level of users.

personally i can excuse this. the rest, not so much!
> Cars are highly engineered AND regulated because they have a tendency to kill their operators and pedestrians. It does cost more, but you're not allowed to sell a car that can't pass safety standards.

But you are allowed to sell a car without a mechanical steering wheel lock connected to a breathalyzer. Remember, this discussion isn't about "should technology be made safe for the average person", this discussion is about "should technology be made safe for the most vulnerable amongst us". In the context of cars, alcoholics are definitely within this "most vulnerable" group. And yet, car safety standards do not require engine startup to check for a breathalyzer result.

> OpenAI have created a shiny new tool with no regulation. Great! It can drive progress or cause harm. I think they deserve credit for both.

I didn't make an argument for "no regulation", so this is not really related to anything I said.
Right, the IO perf has been bad.

The mean of a set of measures is only characteristic of those measures if the error in each is random, ie., if there's equally probably positive errors, vs. negative.

We teach means as something somehow fundamental and commonly useful; but they're rarely useful and highly derivative.
Like others have said its the lying and exaggeration on both sides that really made this a confusing topic to navigate. I wish there was a way to push a "wait until your brain is developed before anything" message without being pro drug or confusing.
It works fine for some things. You just need a clearly defined task where LLM + human reviewer is on average faster (ie cheaper) than a human doing the same task themselves without that assistance.
Typically TeX is translated from Pascal to C too, via web2c.

But there also is a Pascal to WASM compiler out there, which was written specifically for TeX:

Here is what prevented me: My D.A.R.E. officer said to us (honestly?) when you take drugs you feel like you are on top of the world. You take it again and you again feel like you are on top of the world. This is called a high. And after that, you feel like just a little bit of trashy feeling from how you used to be. And so you take drugs again and again to keep the trashy feeling away and each time you feel trashier and trashier after the high is gone. Until people who have been drugs for so long have a difficult time ever becoming normal again.

next what prevented me from doing this was that it is illegal. Plain and simple. I am not questioning the law. I am following it.

Lastly, what prevents me is my community faith that has labeled it to be forbidden.

OTOH, caffiene is also bad. My family told me so. And they drank it nevertheless. And I drank a few times, but very few. But I avoided it because children should not be drinking coffee/tea. Until college came. And then I had to. It was a hack. But I kept it disciplined. And then I got married to someone who always drank coffee. And now I am an addict. and my potassium is super high. And everything else in my body is in the gutters because of it. And I can't come off of it. It's a way to stave off depression. And stress. And anxiety. And keeps me in a positive state because I can drink and become a superworker and get all my work done, without addressing some of the more problematic stuff. All I have done is push the crash further down the timeline.

Caffiene should be banned too. And probably ADHD drugs while we are at it.
My point is that hot coffee is still being sold everywhere, even though we know for a fact that it's dangerous for our most vulnerable individuals. Mentally unstable people will sometimes spill coffee and when the coffee is hot it causes burns. If we really wanted to make coffee safe for our most vulnerable individuals, we would outlaw hot coffee, and just have medium-heated coffee instead. So the existence of "warning labels on hot coffee" is really evidence for my point, not evidence for your point.
It’s more complex than this. There is a pretty narrow sweet spot where early detection actually helps.

If the cancer is very fast growing, it could be too fast for treatment to help at all. Even if treatment helps there likely not a very long period of time before you develop symptoms that would have lead to treatment regardless.

If it is very slow growing, you might outlive the cancer and it doesn’t require treatment. It is effectively but not actually a benign tumor.

You also have to deal with false negative and positives, that could be an order of magnitude higher than the Goldilocks true postives that earlier detection actually made a difference. It’s easy to see how population results will not show much of a benefit.

But people are holding it wrong. All the prompts you sent except the last are super short queries.

For a successful prompt, you introduce yourself, assign a role to the LLM to impersonate, provide background on your query, tell what you want to achieve, provide some examples.

Findings show that meta-analyses and culpability studies consistently indicate a slightly but significantly increased risk of crashes after acute cannabis use. These risks vary across included study type, crash severity, and method of substance application and measurement. Some studies show a significant correlation between high THC blood concentrations and car crash risk. Most studies do not support this relationship at lower THC concentrations. However, no scientifically supported clear cut-off concentration can be derived from these results. Further research is needed to determine dose-response effects on driving skills combined with measures of neuropsychological functioning related to driving skills and crash risk.

Software is too complex to rely on predictions along. Predicting is useful but eventually you must measure.

For example: "In conclusion, the issue isn't software-related. Python outperforms C/Rust due to an AMD CPU bug." https://xuanwo.io/2023/04-rust-std-fs-slower-than-python/#co...

Predict that.
1) Is real but will have net positive impact on humanity (of course there will be losers, but like most new technologies humans will have more for less effort)

2) It is real but unlikely to end humanity. Much more likely to create large areas that are unlivable, but a lot of work has gone into avoiding world ending scenarios.

3) Is mostly hype. Doom predictions in the last 20 years on this topic have been very wrong. The climate is always changing, and humans will have to adapt as always (+1 to 2C increase over 100 years is not world ending). The long term problem will be prevented by a) running out of cheap carbon based energy b) geo-engineering c) rise of cheaper non carbon based energy (related to a).

Asteroid impact or pandemic / virus / man-made bioweapon are all higher probability humanity ending risk IMHO. Not enough thought & energy are put into those scenarios.

The disorder that you dropped from "psychological" is actually semantically important, you know.

If you were unable to get the hint from the other examples I gave, I'll be plain: you are terribly mistaken, addiction is a disorder of the brain.

Not sure if I can get you to 10, but different DBs work at different scales for different workloads. There's relational, key-value, caching, time series, data warehouse, and search index.
Unless you are in the business of building apps for others, in my experience, cross-platform development rarely works. The amount of time you spend on implementing platform-specific conditional logic, dealing with UI latency, additional debugging time due to cross-platform masking actual errors, and above all keeping your codebase in order, outweighs the benefits by a huge margin.

The team that originally started might do a decent job but over time new people come on board, deadlines and other challenges make people start cutting corners and making design choices inconsistent with the original designers leading these codebases to become unmanageable.

What can work with some serious dev team discipline is to build common frameworks that you can use cross-platform and never dare to attempt cross-platform user interfaces.
I think it has much more to do with investors' sentiments. Canadian entrepreneurs are not comfortable; that's why they move to the US. But that's not because they don't like Canada. Moving is a big sacrifice -- they move away from their home and community, and also deal with the headache and uncertainty of US immigration. The ones I talk to who have moved down south, they miss Canada and didn't want to leave, but they didn't feel like they'd be able to afford the cost of living in Canada, and didn't think they could launch a successful startup there.

And the cost of living is going up, which is going to make even more talented Canadians uncomfortable. These days if you ever hope to own a house, you basically can't go the stable 9-to-5 route.

If investors in Canada were throwing hundreds of millions into moonshot startups the way that they do in Silicon Valley, probably most Canadian entrepreneurs would build those companies at home. But the investment landscape is such that the investors who have that much money opt to lever up on real estate instead.

Makes sense. Is it possible for the two types of cancer to be confused?

Should also point out that tests will negatively affect your life seriously either way, especially if these benign cancers are common. Think of the time spent going to/from the doctor, the incredible stress (am I dying?), the tests itself: it is damaging the person's life.
Detection is good, false positives are unacceptable though.

We routinely define “distribution” in copyright cases and I don’t see why the same standards would be unworkable here. Privately sharing a physical copy with a close friend is not distribution, publicly posting for all to see is distribution, and other things occupy a fact and intent specific middle ground.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say it will result in problems; I would not identify it as a problem if people avoid creating deepfake nudes of real people altogether to ensure they’re not liable for distributing them.

Seems plausible at least, and you are of course correct about the world; the CO2 level of the atmosphere when I was born was well below 400 and we'll not see that again as long as I live.

I know many people find it painful but isn't this fairly simple with "terraform state mv?"

my process is roughly:

comment out the resource in the module, run a plan -> get output like:

"module.foo1.aws_resource.bar will be deleted"

Then copy my resource in source to module.foo2.aws_resource.bar, the command becomes:

terraform state mv module.foo1.aws_resource.bar module.foo2.aws_resource.bar

I guess this might be harder if you're using upstream "official" modules, but I avoid those like the plague.

> I think if you read "job" to mean "social obligation" or "responsibility," you'll understand that the GP's statement is essentially the Hobbesian one

Let's read it as "responsibility". No, I don't agree with you on the statement being equivalent to what you wrote earlier. Different people can have different responsibilities in the world. "Making things safe for our most vulnerable individuals" is not a responsibility that belongs to literally every person in the world. It's okay if someone just makes furniture that's safe for the average person, while it has a sharp edge that can hurt a mentally unstable person.
> Is walking something you can do in the US except in some rare exceptions?

Depends. Between kindergarten and eighth grade, I caught the school bus for part of sixth grade, otherwise walked or biked. Ninth grade on, I was where the schools were farther away, but I could walk to stores of various sorts.

I don't use a car much these days, though I get to work more by bus than by walking.

Google historically hasn't been very strong in the cloud services area. In the places I've worked, I'm often the only advocate for (and only user of) GCloud offerings like Cloud Run or App Engine – which are IMO much easier to use than AWS offerings.

But then Vercel leapfrogged the legacy clouds just by white-labeling and packaging their individual offerings into a nice GUI, combining basic file hosting, a Node server, a CDN, serverless, KV, DB, etc... while simultaneously building up Next.js. These days it takes only like 3-5 minutes and like two clicks to deploy a new Next (or other framework) codebase to Vercel. It all "just works" too, and is free for dev projects and $20/mo for their basic paid plan (which is enough to build off of).

The cynicism is well-deserved, IMO, when Google is so late to this space (there are many companies doing this already), so quick to sunset everything, and seemingly completely preoccupied with AI these days. After the market failure of Angular, they seemed to stop caring about boring business web apps as anything more than a side thought. It's a very risky move to launch a startup on their stack.

Ex. I'm morbidly obese. Someone shares pictures of me (taken in a public area) and laughs at me for that. Is that a crime? I might feel like shit and victimized, but thats not actually an argument that its a crime.

This sort of argument really seems like a way to try to use ick and feels versus actual logic.

But yeah, this article is basically the same for me, only I'm an Android dev. I don't release anything on iOS. I probably would if it wasn't for that $100/year Apple dev fee. My stuff is free, so why should I pay Apple such a high fee. If I did write for iOS, I'd probably do Swift or SwiftUI at first to learn it. Then maybe I'd look at a cross-platform framework.
> it requires calculation of frequency of how often words appear next to each other given other surrounding words

In order to do that effectively, you have to have very significant understanding of the world. The texts that LLMs are learning from describe a wide range of human knowledge, and if you want to accurately predict what words will appear where, you have to build an internal representation of that knowledge.

ChatGPT knows who Henry VIII was, who his wives were, the reasons he divorced/offed them, what a divorce is, what a king is, that England has kings, etc.

> If it were, these LLMs wouldn't hallucinate so much.

I don't see how this follows. First, humans hallucinate. Second, why does hallucination prove that LLMs don't understand anything? To me, it just means that they are trained to answer, and if they don't know the answer, they BS it.
