Negotiate? Just quit. At some point you're better off doing literally anything else with your limited time on this earth. Way too much time and effort for too little reward. Who's looking forward to doing a decade of hard training only to end up with some 9-5 job and salary? That's just absolute nonsense.

Becoming a doctor is quite simply a stupid decision if you're not gonna get rich off it. You're replying to a citizen of a country which implemented your idea and then some. Believe it when I say the "get into medical school and you're set for life" meme has worn off.

You haven't seen the damage that stupid indebted underpaid doctors are capable of causing. I'm actually afraid of getting sick. Killing patients? I've seen worse.
No. That would be a site that you visit from Google search results to read an article and then asks you for change to keep reading.

I saw a ton of friends and family move out of Paris as they started building a family or wanted more than just the urban life.

It's actually still extremely easy to get to Paris from more than 20~30km away. Many keep commuting to Paris while taking a healthy distance.

Yes, but it's a right fine petri dish we've got going here. Seems like Avian Flu likes mammals and rodents too, and it's not particular about which ones it hangs out in either.

I'm not sure why the Telegraph got all bent out of shape over a few mice in New Mexico. If you scroll down and look at the table provided in the link above you will see that 17 domestic cats in 8 different states have tested positive, 17 cases in raccoons in various states, Over 90 cases in red foxes, around 40 cases in skunks, and 6 cases reported in possums, and many others.

So it spreads to any carnivorous or omnivorous mammal that feeds on birds, birds' eggs or scavenges their carrion. As well as a some that are probably getting it transmitted by some secondary means, such as contact with feces, eating another infected mammal or rodent, drinking cow's milk, etc. It does not appear that it is spreading from species member to species member, except maybe for the red fox?

A lot of this data is from 2022 and 2023. Not sure if they are no longer detecting it, or no longer testing a given species. You can read at the top of the page that there is no systematic testing of wild mammals, and that they are getting this ad hoc from "reporting agencies".

I thought this link might also be useful:

A bit harsh. I didn't know this. I mean, it could be that some people were not able to read english. I was too young to read english and it wasnt my native tongue. Also, my dad used to let us rent a NES and some games at our local video rental shop, so it just didn't come with a manual to read in the first place.
Speaking with several astronauts, including Jim Lovell, Gen Tom Stafford, and TK Mattingly, my memory of those conversations is that all Apollo-era astronauts had and continue to have complete physicals from NASA every year. If that's the case he would probably have had feedback, even if the results aren't publicly available.

My memory may be faulty ... I offer this in case someone knows better.
Why would anyone want to have kids today? Most couples in the western world can barely support themselves while getting into home ownership, let alone trying to support multiple kids and put them through college while saving for retirement. The amount of capacity left in life for good child rearing is minimal. Add to that the fact that it's looking increasingly unlikely that there'll be jobs for their children anyway given the way AI is going, and even if there were jobs, previous generations are leaving them a burning hellscape full of toxic forever chemicals and microplastics that the kids will need to clean up, and a surveillance advertising driven economy that's increasingly difficult to escape. Toxic social media driving toxic expectations etc. It just seems cruel bringing kids into a world like that.

Nah, it's that new cars drop 50% of their value on the first three years. People are fed up setting fire to their cash. The pressures of living costs don't permit it for many.

All the US states with abortion bans do have exceptions to save the life of the mother.

The particular issue is that currently it's an actual legal minefield for doctors in a number of those states due to vague definitions, over zealous prosecutors, and relatively tight time limits.

This article:

https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/issue-brief/a-revie...

appears to give a good overview of the state of affairs.

For now at least the real danger is doctors being unwilling to risk their licence and making borderline calls in many situations with a ticking clock.

The best option, if available, is to use a single-stall (gender neutral) restroom.

Otherwise? If you "pass" then no one is going to say anything, because they will never know. If you don't "pass", then tough, go to the men's restroom. Women don't want a man in their restroom, and parents don't want a man in the restroom with their girls.

Bottom line: You being trans is not anyone else's problem.

On the projects I work professionally we also have a hard limit at 120 characters enforced by checkstyle, so no choice. On personal projects it's usually 80, maybe I should relax that a bit, 120 is quite nice actually.

You think it's unethical to work at a company and then later create a copy of what the company does. Fairchild Semiconductors would like a quiet moment with you.

Does it still seem unethical if the proposition is inverted? What if a company figures out they no longer need your skills and/or labour. Is it unethical for them to lay you off? What if they actually had to do some work behind your back in order to figure out how to do this?

What do you think about a company that offers people a home for their digital creativity, and then uses that creativity to build technology that makes the skills and network their "users" have acquired over their lives worthless.

You'd expect the users to adapt to the situation, find new skills and get on with their lives right? Which is exactly what replit should do instead of sueing. Apparently they are well funded now so it should be a problem.

IANAP (physicist)

The only the matter portion of the universe is 85% dark matter (26.8% of mass-energy content of the universe).

As for the question; I don't think it's right to assume that dark matter really is exotic matter. It's just a set of observations. It's something that behaves like matter (with respect to density scaling) but only seems to interact gravitationally.

Some theories posit that it's some unknown particles, others that they are primordial black holes, and some that gravity just behaves differently (MOND).

But, boy are they fast to write!
The energy used by the human brain is highly variable because the brain has been optimized to reduce power use. This was a going concern in the ancestral environment. It has not been a great concern in the developmental environment of LLMs, so they are not optimized towards this. There are in fact many papers on how to optimize energy use of LLMs, and some amount of them may have already been deployed.

You note this is offtopic, but I disagree. This is part of your fundamental misunderstanding of how to make good use of LLMs - and how LLMs make good use of context space.

> The point is that if I ask you to do some complex task that requires a one-word answer, you will take a long time to think about it. If I ask an LLM, it will always take the same amount of time, regardless of the task.

This is simply not the case. I will take a long time to think about it, because my brain is generating tokens in the conscious workspace. I will take roughly the same time for every token, same as a LLM. (I believe that's what brain rhythms are about.) However, as opposed to a LLM, I can do computation without echoing it to stdout. If you stuck a probe in my conscious workspace, I believe you would find it looking suspiciously similar to the output stream of a multimodal LLM! And there are several papers to the extent of - hey, LLMs do in fact give better answers if you let them insert filler words, or even dots or spaces or invisible tokens - because they learn to use the additional time you give them to -- think.

Cough just like us cough.

That's why all these tasks that tell the LLM to "not output any extraneous information but only give the answer" are so dumb and misleading. They're literally telling the LLM to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.

In other words, you think the context window is speech, which is why you are confused. The context window is the LLM's axis of time. That their time is conflated with speech is the primary reason why LLMs have a reputation for being glib, surface speakers - and why they continue to underperform. They literally cannot stop to think - not because of any fundamental inadequacy of the technology, but just because that's how we've set them up. I suspect the amount of boilerplate text given before an answer correlates directly with quality of the answer. That's why the energy is misleading - the computational work isn't just the token, but every token between the point where the answer could be computed and where the LLM was forced to commit to a final answer.

And as one could expect from this, if you give the LLM time to think without speaking, their performance shoots up significantly. The moment somebody at OpenAI reads the QuietSTaR paper (GPT-2 scale network with GPT-3 quality!) and understands what it means, the timer to AGI begins.

Well that yes, but not just the engineering and manufacturing practices or apparent lack of safety, also the extremely suspicious conditions of the deaths of whistleblowers who came forwards against them. So far two are dead.
For static pages, regular HTML and CSS will be sufficient. For dynamic ones, I would choose Laravel (a PHP framework). I'll give a rather unpopular opinion, but in the beginning, you don't need to become a master in PHP and know every function. The Laravel documentation will guide you step by step when you want to add authentication or create a simple feature for adding dynamic content. There are also plenty of community tutorials. If simplicity is important to you, I would advise against going the fullstack JS route. The Node.js environment or more specifically a framework like Next.js is very convoluted. You'll have to combine packages and functionalities yourself, and constantly changing versions will significantly complicate it.
> 1. To highlight that the system passes the turing test and has general intelligence abilities beyond the median human

I think that heavily depends on what you mean by "intelligence", which in turn depends on how you want to make use of it. I would agree that it's close enough to the Turing test as to make the formal test irrelevant.

AI training currently requires far more examples than any organic life. It can partially make up for this by transistors operating faster than synapses by the same ratio to which marathon runners are faster than continental drift — but only partially. In areas where there is a lot of data, the AI does well; in areas where there isn't, it doesn't.

For this reason, I would characterise them as what you might expect from a shrew that was made immortal and forced to spend 50,000 years reading the internet — it's still a shrew, just with a lot of experience. Book smarts, but not high IQ.

With LLMs, the breadth of knowledge makes it difficult to discern the degree to which they have constructed a generalised world model vs. have learned a lot of catch-phrases which are pretty close to the right answer. Asking them to play chess can result in them attempting illegal moves, for example, but even then they clearly had to build a model of a chess board good enough to support the error instead of making an infinitely tall chess board in ASCII art or switching to the style of a chess journalist explaining some famous move.

For a non-LLM example of where the data-threshold is, remember that Tesla still doesn't have a level 4 self-driving system despite millions of vehicles and most of those operating for over a year. If they were as data-efficient as us, they'd have passed the best human drivers long ago. As is, while they have faster reactions than we do and while their learning experiences can be rolled out fleet-wide overnight, they're still simply not operating at our level and do make weird mistakes.
I stopped reading when the author stated that The Trolley Problem is problematic because it 'has bad choice architecture.' Not everything possible in human experience is designed.

I am considering writing a new approach to the concept of a Document Object Model (DOM) in Rust. The DOM is the compile target of the web browser.

I have not started this work yet and may not but I have already thought through the architecture of how it would work, something more refined than this plan:

* Layer 0: Node relationships and access methods.

* Layer 1: Syntax, allow definitions for any scheme like JSON. YAML, XML, markdown.

* Layer 2: Grammar, allow definitions for any static data language like HTML, SVG, TypeScript interfaces/types, XML instance languages.

* Layer 3: Schema, any implementation should have the means to validate any instance of a grammar and then self determine how to handle invalid parts.

The current DOM implementation is both too restrictive in its definitions and yet far too complicated in its implementation. If it were drastically simplified there would present much greater opportunities for scale at much lower costs than currently available. We have 30 years of history and lessons learned, which is exciting.

Key considerations:

* Simple is not easy. This would be designed around concepts of few and a rigid purposeful structure. If the current DOM scares you this should scare you more and easy will never become a determinant.

* Don’t be smart. XML and its supporting technologies were brilliant and powerful, so much so that nobody outside of senior data scientists really made use of it in any meaningful way. This new approach would have a model to allow for scale but the model would be primitive. Let the instances be brilliant and the model both boring and small.

"Dying in an accident doing something you always hated is worse than dying in an accident doing something you loved."

Dead is dead, though. I do not think the final moments matter as much as all the years before them. So even if I will one day die on the toilet being old, that would be way better, than me dying soon in an climbing accident, even though that sounds more dramatic and I am way more into climbing than toilets.
Create more social clubs, promote hobbies etc. and ban phone use (some comedy clubs have you leave your phone at the door).

Or don’t. Have everyone upload every intimate detail into a government database. SMFH.
Probably another order of magnitude more expensive.
GitHub just fixed the issue right now, the markdown you can see was injecting new background to the page, floating GIFs everywhere, etc.
Those will take time, nobody will re-invent Linux, likely it will come with the OS systems knowledge advancements from the last 30 years.

Redox-OS is one such effort.
There was a large influx of Italians at the end of the 19th century, and then Portuguese and Spanish early in the 20th. Some of their descendants are typical Parisians, and they have been for 2 or 3 generations. But it took some time for them to graduate from foreigners to archetypes.

> it's looking increasingly unlikely that there'll be jobs for their children anyway given the way AI is going

Unless there's a robot revolution, there will be jobs. AI is not going to farm, provide elder care, or do maintenance.

And that's assuming we get to AGI, and not get stuck on this LLM plateau.
Dying from Alzheimer's is truly terrible. From what I understand, in your final moments the neurons that move your lungs and beat your heart will give up, which is usually the end. And it's not the kind of opioidic kind of forgetting that you have to breathe either. It's pure struggle 'til the final moment.

Back in school I had an art teacher whose father went that way, and it was clear that he was extremely traumatized by witnessing that.

My condolences.

Show HN: MARS5, open-source, insanely prosodic TTS model
Hey guys,

This is Akshat from CAMB.AI. Today's we're super pumped to introduce MARS5, a fully open-source (commercially usable) TTS with break-through prosody and realism available on our Github: https://www.github.com/camb-ai/mars5-tts

Watch our release demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmJSLPYrKtE

Why is it different?
MARS5 is able to replicate performances (from 2-3s of audio reference) in 140+ languages, even for extremely tough prosodic scenarios like sports commentary, movies, anime and more; hard prosody that most closed-source and open-source TTS models struggle with today.

We're excited for you to try, build on and use MARS5 for research and creative applications. Let us know any feedback on our Discord: https://discord.gg/ZzsKTAKM
Add to that our increasingly lonely lives and fraying communities mean much less of a support network. Parenting is also exhausting now that “go outside and play, come back for dinner” is impractical (for various reasons good or bad).
