As we are developing a list-oriented wiki, the benefits of developing a dedicated markup language to power this wiki became apparent - and so Describe was born. Soon we realized that the markup language can also be useful on its own, in some niche cases, so we decided to develop and release the language separately under a free license and share it with the community.

Fructose is primarily processed in the liver and shares some processes with alcohol processing with toxic byproducts. Fructose processing yield triglycerides contributing to the less ideal fat in blood. When I cut my fructose consumption down for a while to less than 10g/day my triglycerides in my blood dropped considerably - my GP did not believe it was my diet. It is shocking how little some doctors know about fructose influence on the body despite the considerable amount is is consumed.
Ketosis occurs when your body switches from consuming glucose as its primary fuel source to consuming ketones which are generated from the breakdown of fatty acids, either from the diet or endogenous.

Almost all body tissue can run on ketones instead of on glucose, except for certain important tissues like red blood cells, 30% of the brain, retina, some kidney tissue, etc.

For the rest, your body synthesizes the glucose it needs via gluconeogenesis from some protein substrates and from glycerol backbodes from triglycerides. These inputs can be either from the diet or from your fat stores.

Fasting for a few days causes your body to enter authophagy through the inhibition of mTOR in addition to ketosis, so that could account for some of the difference.

VPN use is only about 1/3rd globally and only about 1/4th in the Americas.

Sure, TikTok could mount a massive campaign to get people off of its (in the future) banned in the app stores app and onto the web and then get them to install VPNs, but in the end they'd easily lose 80-90% of their users.

Is TikTok with 10-20% of its users in the US still a problem? Maybe, but not nearly the problem TikTok is with 100% of its users.

Fun fact: Sucrose, from our friends cane sugar and beet sugar, is a glucose/dextrose molecule tied to a fructose molecule. And when you digest it, you get the effects of some of each.

Another fun fact: The "H" in HFCS stems from the fact just plain "corn syrup" is defined as 0% fructose. Fast food restaurants push the percentage to 58%+ fructose to turbocharge the sweetest taste in their sodas.

Many people forget the history of health insurance in America. Prior to 2010, you could be a good and loyal customer, always paying your premiums, but if you had a heart attack or got cancer, your health insurance company would refuse to renew your policy - for any amount. Then, once your policy lapsed, they would agree to issue you a new policy that excluded from coverage the very condition you developed that caused them to refuse to renew.

Laws were passed (in the 1990s I believe) to appease the public that banned the insurers from refusing to renew a policy just because the policy holder got sick. However, the law was a joke because it permitted the insurer to set the premium on the renewal at any price they wanted. So, it was effectively the exact same situation. You have insurance. You have a heart attack or get cancer, and when it comes time to renew your policy, the health insurance company raised the premium so high that nobody could possibly afford to renew. The policy would then lapse and the insurer would immediately offer the insured a brand new policy that excepted from coverage the medical condition in question.

It wasn't until the Affordable Care Act in 2010 that health insurers were finally required to keep offering the insured coverage after they got sick. They can no longer raise your rate just because you get sick (after all, what good is health coverage if it doesn't cover you when you get sick?).

But health insurers HATE the Affordable Care Act and are paying lots and lots of money to elected officials to change the Affordable Care Act so insurers can once again refuse to renew policies if the insured gets sick with an expensive illness. So, hold onto your hats everyone.
its too bad that Congress can only pass one law at a time then /s

Fructose can't be used by cells directly - it does not effect blood sugar levels, because it has to be processed by the liver into glucose first.[1]

The potential issues with fructose are related to the matabolic processes which convert it into glucose, which is what your cells actually use.

So eating say, straight fructose in fact won't spike your blood sugar since it has a much more convoluted metabolic path to consumption. Something like HFCS is more likely to be a problem because the glucose content is not in the dissacharide form of sucrose and can be directly absorbed.

Spot-on. Hacker News has a hate-boner for Facebook and the Facebook-branded products, but from an engineering standpoint they're up there with Netflix solving problems at scale. FAIR had a better reputation than OpenAI since the start, and they've developed the Oculus acquisition to it's logical extremes. You can do a lot worse, looking at the way their peers handle similar situations.

All the big tech companies have a Facebook-esque product they wish they could get rid of forever. Meta has Facebook, and instead of imploding like everyone said they would (for decades) they demonstrated competency in engineering and culture. The next 4 years will be a gauntlet with a literal "Mr. X" advising social media policy, but I frankly don't think Facebook has ever been down for the count in a pragmatic sense.

Passports (and credit cards) are the best example why ASCII-only is horribly broken. It's 2024, people want to type in their name as they write it normally, and they have the reasonable expectation of IT "dealing with it" behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, that expectation isn't reality, and it's all too common people are being rejected at the border or their card transactions are denied because braindead policies leave no other option but to blanket deny in case of mismatches.

That's not at all what the comment you linked to says. It says there was an open question about if <dialog> should be removed from the spec because interest hadn't materialized from Firefox and Webkit for the element after four years (and wouldn't for another two years after that).
You would get laughed out of the room if you limited your customer base to only those within commuting distance of your office, but for some reason with employees, the model is different? You want the broad market TAM but the local employee control.

Certainly, if you think you can hire in Brazil, why have you not attempted to do so yet? The only way for you to know for sure if this model would work is to attempt it. I do wonder if the US is going to begin to tariff goods coming in from outside of the country, if they will also start to look at offshore labor to penalize economically.

You make good points, and provide good details. Thank you. I'll add around that. Based on a book or two I read on IBM at the time under Gerstner,

- talked to the top 50 or 100 customers to learn what IBM was good at, and sucked at. From this he learned that IBM's weird nomenclature and incompatibility with other LANs, disks, etc.. sucked. He learned IBM was a bit lost in its own world. Perhaps more critically written as entitled. IBM worked on fixing it. On the good side he learned customers like IBM for consulting/out-sourcing of projects. Whether apps, LANs, O/S, storage one at a time or all at the same time, IBM did it all and decently well. Customers had one guy to thank (when things good) or yell at (when things went wrong). Customer's prefer that over dealing with 4 different specialist companies they then had to corall onto the same page with attendant billing isssues. Insane costs for mainframes was another "IBM sucks".

- These points taken together is why Gerstner decided to not split IBM up, which is what the out-going CEO (Akron?) suggested. At the time specialist firms in printing, disk, LANs, etc were progressing faster than IBM. It was thought splitting IBM and selling off divisions might make those divisions more competitive and allow what remained to be more profitable.

- Learned that IBM had some good ideas that died in corporate American BS of meetings. Example: IBM had a manufacturing plan to reduce the costs of mainframes. When he found out never done, he got that going, and did something about removing the cruft of Corp America politics and nonsense that chokes out good ideas.

- IBM also got lucky that the internet era (think B2B) needed high capacity HW. Mainframes were key. They had the horsepower. IBM moved MSRP down, and made a lot of money at the same time.

- Gerstner was firm but fair. When he came in he said IBM's financial situation was dire. He said there'd be layoff's but once done, IBM would tend to not do more. So whoever was left was wanted, and was needed to make IBM better. That was both a like of remaining employees, a warm thanks to those who were left, and a warning, and an attempt to remove fear of firings in the future. Be here and be real or get lost. He sold off art, and real-estate to raise cash.
It's interesting to compare this perspective with religious teachings which tend to say that kids owe everything to their parents ("honor") and that parents responsibility is to train their kids with good moral character (on top of food, love & shelter).

As a parent you want to give them everything but you then have to balance that against realities & other priorities. That's part of the training of a good moral character: learning to manage life's limitations & your response to those limitations.
For small teams (like, 5 people max) that may make sense. It really depends on the organization. With some orgs, you're going to meetings all day and there's no time to focus.
Cost of housing is rising in places where there's barely any immigration. (Yes, in places where there are more influx of people with money to a place - migrants from abroad, migrants from the next town, or in some lucky places we even have birth rate above death rate - demand [in the economic sense] will go up even more.)

But most of the price increase (ie. actual demand, meaning potential buyers with enough money) is because over the last few decades houses got much better (triple glazed windows, heat and noise insulation, safety standards increased, HVAC for the whole house not just 1 sad split unit, oh and houses got bigger, so all in all we put in more material, more stuff and so on), and service costs got higher (in part due to the Baumol effect) and availability of credit increased with the price (banks love to give bigger loans when it's backed with a relatively safe liquid asset), so buyers can and do pay these enormous amounts.

And then there's the supply side. "Cities" are horribly mismanaged. Most development happens in suburbs. (Because it's easy.) Productivity of the construction industry is so ridiculously low that people are in complete and utter denial even about the prospect of building things. Housing? Rail? Nuclear power plants? (They have given up, they just want to preserve the status quo apparently.)

It's good that our cities are not burning down regularly anymore, but this forced stasis is still bad. It's good that we don't have monarchs or urban planners who randomly reshape half of our cities every generation without fair compensation.

At the same time it's still very bad that we ourselves don't reshape our cities to adapt to each generation!

I didn't use two of those three terms, so maybe confirming you read the comment you replied to is in order?

"Uncensored" is a broad phrase but those in post-training community who post-train "uncensored" versions of a models have a very specific meaning: the creator is stripping refusals.

They do it via techniques like abliteration, or SFT on "toxic" datasets, but the toxic datasets tend to be low quality answers and abliteration is imprecise... so you get a model that's generally inferior.

"Alignment" is an overloaded term for something as high-dimensionality as an LLM, but usually uncensoring is not trying to change the "alignment" if we define alignment as biases on specific topics as you seem to be hinting at.

Only a few very specific projects actually try to change that, and it goes past basic "uncensoring".

Some creative writing models for example, might past uncensoring to "darkening", where they try to rid the model of a tendancy to introduce positive plot points when writing and lean more into villans/negative outcomes in stories

Or someone might finetune to get a more conservative leaning model in terms of talking points. But again, that's all orthogonal to the popular meaning of "uncensored" in the post-training community.

-

The alternative to a generally "uncensored" model (ie. refusals stripped actively) is what I'm describing: taking a task where the "alignment" is specifically the post-trained safety alignment, and that alignment would causes refusals. Then producing examples where the model did many versions of the task and post-training on them so that the safety aspect no longer applies to the outputs.

For example, fine tuning on 10k examples where the model was given a very specific prompt template to produce code and produced a JSON block with said code.

If you post train on that highly specific template, to the point of slightly overfitting, you get a model that will now, when given the exact prompt template from the training, will always produce code in a JSON block, without refusals.

If you inspect the logits as it produces outputs, the logits for a refusal no longer even appear for the model to pick.

And the examples don't necessarily have to be examples the base model would refused (although that helps), the model just learns so strongly that "When given this prompt, the output is valid code in this format", that the original safety post-training no longer activates.

If you take the original prompt format and ask for malware for example, the model will produce it happily.

-

For reference I've post-trained about 130 models this year and work closely with a lot of people who do as well.

I think as an outsider you're assuming most people are aligning the models with an agenda, but realistically there's a massive contingent that doesn't care about what the alignment _has_, they care what it _doesn't_ have, which is refusals.

tl;dr they don't train the model so it will specifically say "Biden is better than Trump" or vice versa.

They train that so if you ask "Is Biden is better than Trump?" it answers your question without 10 paragraphs of disclaimers or an outright refusal.
