The majority of opioid addicts in the US were legally prescribed them by their doctor. Oxycontin was lied about to medical professionals, so it was commonly prescribed in ways that significantly increase your likelihood of developing a dependence, which means following your doctor's explicit instructions could cause you to become addicted to Oxycontin.

Same for me but with the word “crucial”.
Either you go with America and get bankrupted by medical care if you don’t have excellent insurance, or you go to Canada or Europe where the average doctor is paid 1/3rd as much and there are significant waiting periods for non immediately necessary procedures. Heads I lose, tails you win.

People wonder why folks hate doctors or get “white coat” syndrome. Same shit from dentists wondering why everyone hates them.
The problem with such data is that it can be used to draw incorrect and incredibly racist conclusions.

The obvious conclusion is that those subgroups are particularly disenfranchised. Meaning they're more likely to be impoverished, earn less on average on a household basis, are more likely to be discriminated against, are more likely to live in high-crime areas, etc.

But if you don't include those statistics alongside the one you have, then you give the impression that some subgroup is just "magically" pre-disposed to crime. uh oh. Now you'll have people saying darker skin colored people are more animalistic in nature, their blood tainted. And now we've gone to Eugenics and before you know it, we're in Nazi land.

So you do have to be careful not to draw the wrong conclusions. And, if those conclusions COULD be drawn, you have to nip it in the bud. The absolute last thing neo-nazis need is fuel.

Reading through this entire thread, I suspect that somehow generative AI actually became a political issue. Polarized politics is like a vortex sucking all kinds of unrelated things in.

In case that doesn't get my comment completely buried, I will go ahead and say honestly that even though "AI slop" and paywalled content is a problem, I don't think that generative AI in itself is a negative at all. And I also think that part of this person's reaction is that LLMs have made previous NLP techniques, such a those based on simple usage counts etc., largely irrelevant.

What was/is wordfreq used for, and can those tasks not actually be done more effectively with a cutting edge language model of some sort these days? Maybe even a really small one for some things.
> the Web at large is full of slop generated by large language models, written by no one to communicate nothing

That’s neither fair nor accurate. That slop is ultimately generated by the humans who run those models; they are attempting (perhaps poorly) to communicate something.

> two companies that I already despise

Life’s too short to go through it hating others.

> it's very likely because they are creating a plagiarism machine that will claim your words as its own

That begs the question. Plagiarism has a particular definition. It is not at all clear that a machine learning from text should be treated any differently from a human being learning from text: i.e., duplicating exact phrases or failing to credit ideas may in some circumstances be plagiarism, but no-one is required to append a statement crediting every text he has ever read to every document he ever writes.

Credits: every document I have ever read grin
Here are some feedback/questions:
1. I was logged in via ssh and when I tried the web shell it kicked me and the machine went unreachable.
2. How can I restrict who can access my machine? There is no allowed IPs section.
3. Can I upload my ssh-key somewhere and use that as a default whenever I launch an instance?
4. Why do I even have images section when I can't take a snapshot and keep it as a image? This would be very handy so that I don't need to repeat the basic setup of my instances.
5. Can I have a auto shutdown based on time? I don't want to accidentally leave my machine running and rake up a huge cost.

Hope this helps.

In a lot of cases, the macos man pages leave a lot to be desired, or don't come up in a google search. I know I'm personally not in the habit of remembering apropros exists, so I can imagine that the first step to manpage discovery being a google search.

You mean, apart from no existing code working like that? It is not possible for process that creates descriptor to fsync it, because in many very important cases that descriptor outlives the process.

As an R developer, I can deeply relate to this. People that use R as the mother language are probably from academia. They can be very good at data analysis and scripting, but usually have no idea of software development. They have few knowledge about versioning, modularization, documentation, and testing, which can lead to issues when they develop production-level R packages and Shiny applications.

On the flip side, R developers with strong software development skills can be incredibly valuable in academic settings.

I'm not sure these conclusions are justified. It's the 'seen vs unseen'.
Interesting, and I think it makes sense.

In an ideal world, the nurse to patient ratio would be high enough that patients could be seen on regular rotation frequently. I've never been in a hospital where this was the case. So a system that can correctly prioritize resources for critical cases even if it's pulling resources away from non-critical cases will probably result in a net improved outcome.
well, its a convention , it makes it easier to guess the command name, and considering in pwsh you have hundreds of commands, finding the command can be a challenge

pwsh have autocomplete and command to help you find other commands

pwsh is actually more unixy than unix, it have more specialized commands
in linux you have bigger command, commands that do at lot, and take a lot to learn

pwsh is a great idea, implemented very nicely, i dont see any major flaws , except poor adoption on linux .. and of course dotnet dependency

a native pwsh would be amazing

When people say freedom of speech, they don't mean in its totality, but a portion of it. If you talk about the world's problems - all of them - you will get removed.

The people who spend the most time sneering at 'the laptop class' that I'm aware of are independent, ie, non-unionized, tradespeople who operate as sole proprietorships - emphatically not factory workers.

> I agree in general but the web was already polluted by Google's unwritten SEO rules. Single-sentence paragraphs, multiple keyword repetitions and focus on "indexability" instead of readability, made the web a less than ideal source for such analysis long before LLMs.

Blog spam was generally written by humans. While it sucked for other reasons, it seemed fine for measuring basic word frequencies in human-written text. The frequencies are probably biased in some ways, but this is true for most text. A textbook on carburetor maintenance is going to have the word "carburetor" at way above the baseline. As long as you have a healthy mix of varied books, news articles, and blogs, you're fine.

In contrast, LLM content is just a serpent eating its own tail - you're trying to build a statistical model of word distribution off the output of a (more sophisticated) model of word distribution.

The actually impact of every war since (a very long time) are that more civilians are killed and harmed than military personal. Looking at the statistics produced by the US military on the iraq war, civilian deaths was 3x of enemy combatants. UN has estimated that globally, modern wars has an 10:1 ration of civilian deaths to military combatants.

Looking at it from that perspective there is no line between war and terrorism. All wars are terrorism.
And that's not necessarily a good thing.

Yes, more immigration would be greatly appreciated. Probably won't happen until we unfuck housing, however.
only because of the outsized political importance of a few states that happen to specialize in outdated manufacturing technologies and happen to have enough electoral votes that politicians have an incentive to subsidize them.

The answer is no. The nature of the attack does not make it OK even if it turns out that only military personnel had these pagers. It is not OK for Israel to weaponize consumer electronics which are widely used in a civilian area, even if the users at the time are most likely military personnel.

But this question is irrelevant because this is very unlikely to be the case. The victims seem to be many civilians.
Generative AI is inherently a political issue, its not surprising at all.

There is the case of what is "truth". As soon as you start to ensure some quality of truth to what is generated, that is political.

As soon as generative AI has the capability to take someone's job, that is political.

The instant AI can make someone money, it is political.

When AI is trained on something that someone has created, and now they can generate something similar, it is political.
It's even worse than that. Most people have no idea how far CGI has come, and how easily it is wielded even by a couple of dedicated teens on their home computer, let alone people with a vested interest in faking something for some financial reason. People think they know what a "special effect" looks like, and for the most part, people are wrong. They know what CGI being used to create something obviously impossible, like a dinosaur stomping through a city, looks like. They have no idea how easy a lot of stuff is to fake already. AI just adds to what is already there. Heck, to some extent it has caused scammers to overreach, with things like obviously fake Elon Musk videos on YouTube generated from (pure) AI and text-to-speech... when with just a little bit more learning, practice, and amounts of equipment completely reasonable for one person to obtain, they could have done a much better fake of Elon Musk using special effects techniques rather than shoveling text into an AI. The fact that "shoveling text into an AI" may in another few years itself generate immaculate videos is more a bonus than a fundamental change of capability.

Even what's free & open source in the special effects community is astonishing lately.

Fair and accurate. In the best cases the person running the model didn't write this stuff and word salad doesn't communicate whatever they meant to say. In many cases though, content is simply pumped out for SEO with no intention of being valuable to anyone.

> Europe where the average doctor is paid 1/3rd as much and there are significant waiting periods for non immediately necessary procedures

I'm not sure where exactly you evaluated this based on (personal experience I suppose?) but this hasn't been true for me in Spain with either public healthcare nor private. Don't remember it being like that in Sweden (public healthcare) either, and I'm sure there are plenty of other European countries where the waiting time isn't significant either, and you also get great care.

Some countries seems to just have figured out how to make healthcare costs manageable, with great care, well educated doctors/nurses and also relatively low waiting times. I'd probably still say they're underpaid, because they're literally saving people's lives, but I guess that's true for everywhere, even the US.
> OK but what if the output of the company being in the office is enough to offset that?

Ok and what if it rains gold from the sky and poverty is cured forever? Are we just saying things now? Because I have absolutely no reason to believe this is the case, and Amazon is dead-set on not giving me a reason.

> Or what if there are people who want to work in an office with other people who want to work in an office and are willing to trade some CO2 and small risk of death to do so?

In practice, not a viable position. RTO only works if you force other people to go to the office when they don't want to. Because the office, itself, is actually useless. It's just a building. The office is desired for the people in it. Meaning, such a position is one born of control. The same is not the case with WFH. Meaning, WFH does not care where you are. RTO cares a lot about where you are. One is intrinsically easier to swallow therefore, because one by its very nature orients itself towards freedom. This is undeniable.

> isn’t inherently evil.

I never said a company is inherently evil. Amazon is, for other reasons.

You said that RTO doesn't have any real downsides. Keyword "real". Well, that's not true - it has many REAL downsides. As in: lives lost, habitats harmed, climate destroyed. It's real enough we can measure it. If you don't particularly like this I don't know what to tell you, it's just the way it is. CEOs and other execs are so detached from the real world. But when you make BIG decisions those have BIG consequences.
That the favoured industry (or company) is doing well isn't necessarily a sign that the policy is overall good for the country's economy.
