> That you ignored such a simple truth and didn't think to define your terms was a waste of my time. As such, I felt insulted at your (apparent) complete lack of respect for the time and attention of others.

My neglecting to define it was not because I was ignoring that not everyone knows everything I do.

There are quite a few acronyms that are widespread enough on HN (or in programming in general) to be used without defining them anew every single time (such as, say, "API"). I hadn't considered that of those, "TEE" is not one. That doesn't mean I don't understand the concept of individual knowledge, only that I don't always put a complete effort into my drive-by comments, and evidently had not into that one.

Even at that point, it would have taken less time for you to ask for a definition without additional remarks that imply I should have known better. Who are you to imply I didn't know better? I'd say that was the real waste of your time, considering it makes up over 50% of the comment.

Additionally, I don't have a "complete lack of respect" for others' time and attention. I would've edited the comment to fix it if it had still been within the edit window. I apologized for having left the definition out because that was an honest mistake, and it was never meant to waste anyone's time or attention. Even before the apology, I don't think it was very reasonable for you to have assumed that the waste of time was intentional, and replied in the way you did.

> Take that as insulting if you wish, and if you find it insulting enough, please ignore me completely going forward. I promise you I won't mind.

I generally don't ignore people until I have nothing left to say to them. But yes, people (myself included) typically find it insulting when you assume bad faith of them. If this was truly your intention, then it is not just my fault for "wishing" to take it as insulting. Your tone has an impact on how others perceive you.

To be blunt, if you are rude on purpose and proceed not to care about how it makes others feel, that behavior isn't welcome here. I can understand if you felt frustrated that I didn't define my acronyms, but that's no reason to lash out about it, even when it's in the form of mere patronizing remarks.

You have a good day too.

I mean, this is covered in the first paragraph of the article, and then elaborated on further down.
Riffing on this,

I wonder if you could assign a citation tree score to each first-level citation.

For example, I cite papers A,B,C,D. Paper A cites papers 1,2,3,4. Paper 1 cites a retracted paper, plus 3 good ones.

We could say "Paper 1" was 0.75, or 75% 'truthy'. "Paper A" would be 3x good + 1x 075% = 3.75/4 = 93.7% truthy, and so on.

Basically, the deeper in the tree that the retracted paper is, the less impact it propagates forth.

Maybe you could multiply each citation by it's impact factor at the top level paper.

At the top level, you'd see:

Paper A = 93.7% truthy, impact factor 100 -> 93.7 / 100 pts

Paper B = 100% truthy, IPF 10 -> 10/10 pts

Paper C = 3/4 pts

Paper D = 1/1 pts

Total = 107 / 115 pts = 93% truthy citation list

If a paper has an outsized impact factor, it gets weighted more heavily, since presumably the community has put more stock in it.
My employer is part of StartUp New York, a program that (among other things, for a time) refunds employees their state income taxes if they work in an office located in an "economically developing" area of the state. I'd been working in the office pre-COVID, but found I rather liked full remote work during the lockdowns. So I chose to forego the tax refunds and stay remote, though still living in the same area & working from the office occasionally to interact more with coworkers. It's a good balance for me.

I don't know which way would be better, since I don't know the subtleties of citations in different fields. I'll just note that automatically applying this modest taint to papers that cite retracted papers is some incentive for the person to be discerning in what they cite.

Of course, some papers pretty much have to be cited, because they're obviously very relevant, and you just have to risk an annoying red mark appearing in your paper if that mandatory citation is ever retracted.

But citations that are more discretionary or political, in some subfields (e.g., you know someone from that PI's lab is going to be a reviewer), if you think their pettiness might be matched by the sloppiness/sketchiness of their work, then maybe you don't give them that citation, after all.

If this means everyone in a field has incentive for citations to become lower-risk for this embarrassing taint, then maybe that field starts taking misconduct and reviewing more seriously.
Show HN: Universal Inbox – Centralize all your notifications in a single place
I have always struggled to keep my todo list filled with everything I have to do from all the tools I'm using daily.
I thus have created Universal Inbox to gather all the notifications of all these tools so that I have a single inbox to empty and I can easily create tasks in my todo list tool.
Moreover, Universal Inbox also keeps track of tasks in these tools (like assigned issues in Linear) and keeps them in sync with my todo list tool too so that I am confident my todo list is up to date.

I’d love to hear your feedback on how useful you find Universal Inbox!
What would be missing for your use case?

That's precisely why I left it blank to be filled in with which ever version one chooses. I prefer the more crude version personally, but at least allowed for it to be more ambiguous for this one post.

>However over the years

To me, it has just become accepted way to reference the actual article (regardless of the actual words in the acronym to the point of being a word not an acronym at all) the entire comment page is about vs the previous comment relative names like GP GGP etc. This quote isn't from a different comment, but instead lifted directly from the article the comment that is being discussed

Academic papers have to cite related research to situate their contribution, even if they're not directly building on that research. When researchers can't reproduce a paper's results, they have to cite that paper when reporting that, or no one will know what they're talking about and the bad paper cannot be refuted. The whole system also needs many compare and contrast citations that aren't built on directly or at all, so you know what a paper is doing and not doing.
Weird thing is, people in other states that do not border 911 got emergency alerts stating the 911 system was down, then another one from the state they live in stating to ignore the previous alert as it was for Mass only.

Most citations are just noting previous work. Here are some papers citing the retracted one. (Selected randomly).

>Therefore, MSC-based bone regeneration is considered an optimal approach [53]. [0]

>MSC-subtypes were originally considered to contain pluripotent developmental capabilities (79,80). [1]

Both these examples give a single passing mention of the article. It makes no sense for thousands of researchers to go out and remove these citations. Realisticly you can't expect people to perform every experiment they read before they cite it. Meanwhile there has been a lot of development in this field despite the retracted paper.

Additionally California PAGA lawsuits are notorious for nearly bankrupting small businesses. This case wasn't PAGA, but still people need to realize that sometimes these things are more nuanced than they appear.

Infractions are 200 dollars per infraction for every employee, and are religiously perused by private law firms.

For example, if a company with 100 employees let employees take lunch whenever they wanted, they would be sued for 20K per day this occurred since employers are required to require employees take lunch within 5 hours of starting the day, meaning they could easily look at millions of dollars of fines for trying to be nice to employees that a private law firm would sue them over.

And in the end the majority of the settlement will go to the law firm and the actual person who sued will get 1/100th of the remaining amount for all this trouble.
Totally, and that’s a fair point. I don’t know what understanding means, not enough to prove an LLM can’t, anyway, and I think nobody has a good enough definition yet to satisfy this crowd. But I think we can make progress with nothing more than the dictionary definition of “understand”, which is the ability to perceive and interpret. I think we can probably agree that a rock doesn’t understand. And we can probably also agree that a random number generator doesn’t understand. The problem with @FeepingCreature’s argument is that the quality of the response does matter. The ability for a machine that’s specifically designed to wait for input and then provide an output, to then provide a low quality response, doesn’t demonstrate any more intelligence than a bicycle… right? I don’t know where the line is between my random writer Markov chain text generator from college and today’s LLMs. I’m told transformers are fundamentally the same and just have an adaptive window size. More training data then is the primary difference. So then we are saying Excel’s least-squares function fitter does not understand, unless the function has a billion data points? Or, if there’s a line, what does it look like and where is it?

I remember reading this headline years ago, though at that time it had been much longer since the previous hunt. I had not been aware that the Makah only managed that one hunt before returning to legal limbo - I suppose I imagined that subsequent hunts were not newsworthy, or that the tribe did not care to hunt whales very often.

While the idea of a whale hunt is hard to stomach, it seems clear that the Makah must have the right to do it if the treaties with Native American tribes mean anything at all. I have visited the Makah reservation a few times, and they don't have much to go on but the ocean and their culture of fishing. It's easy to see why such a marginalized community might insist on their traditions and seek to claim every scrap of privilege from their treaties - abusively limiting as they generally were - even when the rest of us wish they wouldn't.

We can hope that the resumption of whale hunting will bring the Makah a feeling of cultural restoration. Perhaps, after they have successfully asserted themselves for some years, and feel a secure sense of pride in their heritage, they will find that they can adopt some symbolic substitute for the whale hunt of their own free choice.
Do you realize that some multi-billion dollar, publicly traded companies rely heavily on volunteers who contribute content for free? Imagine if I came to you in 2005 and said, "Would you invest in a for-profit company where the vast majority of workers provide content without any expectation of payment?" You would probably refuse because it sounds like a stupid and unrealistic idea.

But here we are in 2024. Not only has this company succeeded by getting free labor to build itself, but it has also gone public, become valued in the billions of dollars, and made its owners and investors incredibly wealthy. That company is Reddit.

Meanwhile, the people who create the content that makes Reddit what it is are not paid a cent.

It's not a good idea to ask how much money a retailer has by looking at their revenue.
IMHO, probably not, reasoning:

It's only worthwhile if you're distributing weights.

If you're distributing weights, people can train right over them anyway (ex. the waifu of the hour is based on Mistral...called...Moistral...shudders)

Abliteration hasn't get significant traction in the handing-out-weights space. That surprised me because of the amount of avowed not-waifu desire for "uncensored" models.

It didn't surprise me in that, the volume and ferocity of takes on "lobotomizing" did not match my experience with base LLMs at BigCo. There's not a ton of difference between a base LLM and the "censored" ones.

Trying the abliterated ones makes that embarrassingly clear. You're better off tuning on erotic fanfic for your waifu than using an abliterated one, truth is, there's nothing hidden.

I am sure this place has lurid fantasies of applying medieval laws of burning people alive or stoning them to death if people concerned are CEOs, billionaire or some such for financial crimes.

On the other hand if laws are applied to their favorite hacker (think one who committed suicide) then the case should not even see the day in court because those laws are of course unlawful.
I tend to agree, when bounded by my lifetime. 1999 was probably the best, especially since 2001 brought 9/11 and that whole circus, wars, recession, etc. It was probably the last time I felt 'hopeful' as a nation. And people always fought about politics, but didn't seem quite as hostile.

Well, I think you could say I've worked in games too. [1]

In fact, it's in games that the artists, especially when working with 3d, had the hardest time getting the precise kinds of changes that I would need.

But even in 2d, if they, say, created a sprite, but then left a few pixels non-100%-transparent in the corners of the image, I could ask them to go find those pixels and erase them...or I could do it myself.

And if they don't get them completely erased, then there will still be artifacts on the screen and the texture atlas packing will be screwed up.

Yeah. I've been doing this for a long time.

And no, I don't have much hope of getting artists to migrate. I'm just tilting at windmills.

This is the key part, even legitimate findings tend to be exaggerated. A great step forward would be to distribute grants to reproduce new key findings.

For example, the NIH could identify the top findings from 2024 that need to be reproduced, and seek expressions of interest to reproduce these and/or other important findings identified by applicants. Perhaps, also reach an agreement with top journals to publish replications as a new article type, and link them to the original one, just like they do with comments/news & views.

It would instantly make those publishing super edgy findings much more careful, just in case, and things would become more efficient.
Those people would be retarded if they think it won't used to find, identify, and prosecute them.
