Just a thought: avoiding political bias could it's own form of bias. I would think the goal is mostly to get "correct" answers based on facts, logic, and so on. If a "correct" answer can be computed (what does that mean with an LLM?), then it might be biased, but still desirable.
I don't know why this never occurred to me. What a great website, glad you made it!
Tons of factors in the US for this stuff; which state you're in, how they stole the phone (e.g. violent vs. just grabbing it off a table when the owner isn't looking), prior history, if they're tried as a child vs adult, and (let's be honest) if they can afford a good lawyer.

It definitely wouldn't be "weird" to throw a 17 year old in jail for stealing an iPhone, particularly in my case it would likely have been tried as a "mugging" and I suspect classified in the "violent" category (even though I was unharmed).

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to throw the book at this kid, it did kind of cause a bit of frustration and trauma that I still haven't completely worked through, but I still think I made the right choice, even if everyone else in my life disagrees.
X today seems to not let any posts about death, swearing, etc get recommended.

Whereas if you replace those words with "unalive" and **'s, then you get far more views.

>I've been accused of having "pathological empathy" before [1], and to this day I refuse to accept that empathy is a weakness.

To put it in a different context, the psychologist Paul Bloom wrote an interesting book titled "Against Empathy." He makes a distinction between "emotional empathy" and "cognitive empathy". He is an advocate of the latter, while acknowledging that the former can lead to many sub-optimal outcomes.
I don't think "CEO is able to remove community notes" is a strong mark against the community note algorithm. No system is immune to being turned off...
Not read the whole thing yet, but the idea to represent generators as free monads which can be interpreted in multiple ways is very promising. In particular, this may be a way to unify various generator implementations, like the random generators from QuickCheck, hedgehog, falsify, SmartCheck, etc. with the enumerations provided by Smallcheck, FEAT, LeanCheck, etc. and maybe even the weirder ones like LazySmallcheck, extrapolate, fitspec, speculate, lazy-search, spectacular, the various logic-programming implementations of property-checking, etc.

In principle, the same framework would extend to parsers too (atto/mega/parsec, etc.), though parsing is often a bottleneck in real applications, so many would avoid such abstraction/indirection. Still, it would be nice if libraries could define parsers for their datatypes, in such a way that it's easily reusable as a generator in tests (without having the library package depending on any test-generator packages).

They also demonstrate finding the "derivative" of a generator (i.e. the result of fixing its next choice to a particular outcome), which is useful for avoiding choices that cause preconditions to fail (something which many PBT users seem to struggle with: assuming that the framework will somehow avoid problematic values, rather than just rejection-sampling them as most do).
100% ... In my life, I accepted a while back that I don't have to solve world hunger or cure cancer in order to be a good person - just be as courteous to others as I can; focus on the little things. For example, I always park my car in the back of parking lots (or otherwise far away) because I'm perfectly capable of walking, while others might struggle. Is that gonna get me a Nobel prize? Certainly not. But I like to think that, sometimes, maybe once per year, a person who struggles with mobility, like an elderly person or someone with an injury, is gonna struggle just a little bit less because I parked out back. No one's gonna build a statue of me for this, but if it helps just one person, that's a good thing. And it's really not that difficult for me to walk an extra 50 yards. LOL

(Edit to correct spelling: Nobel, not Noble. LOL)

>Nowadays, it is hard to recommend a general-purpose opamp. Just plug the desired parameters into the search function and sort what's left by price.

I bet this is 100x+ more effective at keeping people on Bing than anything else MS has tried. Same idea as knock-off brands with labels and designs inspired by the name brand.

People may eventually realize they're not on Google, but probably only after being not displeased in Bing's results. If they have a bad experience, oh well, they were planning on using google anyway.
Scrolling is extremely smooth on my iPhone 14 Pro.

The app, though, feels like an Android transplant. No tap to scroll to the top, odd widgets, and no rubberband scrolling. The tip bubbles are also very “Google”.

That said, while it’s not for me, it appears to be very solid for Android users (or people who are, to their benefit, less picky than I am).

When the Rage toolkit became available, almost none of the community were as besotted with eagerness as they had done before. It was a 30GB+ download with some hefty base requirements. While rage could run on a 4 core machine, not many gamers at the time had 16 core Xeon’s and 16gb of ram!

Why are you so hostile? I'm not justifying the cost, I'm simply in the 4k market and replying to OP's statement "Any modern card under $1000 is more than enough for graphics in virtually all games" which is objectively false if you're a 4k user.

The problem is that these platforms have to be built, and people have to willingly use them... which is hard, given Meta have built brilliant addiction machines.

The whole threat here is you can't regulate Meta away, because they'll use the US Government to bully you into not doing so. I'd imagine if the EU tried to publicly prop up a platform not making any profit, they'd do the same.

But yes, the only way is for this to happen. But either way, this was the scariest statement of the announcement(s).
Higher than that buying the top end machines though, which are very high margin
What's new to me is that it's becoming newsworthy, more people are talking about it.

To my current understanding, metabolic syndrome caused by sugar / glucose spikes is by far the biggest root cause of physical health issue in the US. Most people I know personally who are suffering from physical ailments, it's most likely metabolic syndrome at the root of it.

How to shift culture on this? When I'm in civilization in the US I'm constantly confronted with foods I have to turn down. It doesn't have to be that way.

Furthermore, because of what is in my opinion bad science and propaganda, a lot of people still think they need to stay away from saturated fat, which pushes them toward processed high glycemic index foods. Sure, you can eat a low saturated fat and low glycemic diet but it's not so easy. I'm serious it's shocking the number of people suffering from metabolic syndrome / diabetes who have told me they are trying to stay away from saturated fat but are eating crazy amounts of sugar.

I hope this continues to be talked about more and more so the people I love can turn down sugar without feeling like they're radical and countercultural.

Partly I think there's a taboo on talking about health and diet, that would be good to shift. I'm not about fat shaming but diabetes is really just bad, and preventable and reversible, and I'd like for that to be widely agreed on and talked about.

Will also be interesting to see how lawsuits like this play out:

> Slot machines have been around for generations and have not become any less effective.

Slot machines are not a growth market. The majority of people wised to them literal generations ago, although enough people remain susceptible to maintain a handful of city economies.

> They did not collapse, they moved to smartphones

Agreed, but the dark patterns being used are different. The previous dark patterns became ineffective. The level of sophistication of psychological trickery in modern f2p games is far beyond anything Farmville ever attempted.

The rise of live service games also does not bode well for infinite growth in the industry as there's only so many hours to go around each day for playing games and even the evilest of player manipulation techniques can only squeeze so much blood from a stone.

The industry is already seeing the failure of new live service games to launch, possibly analogous to what happened in the MMO market when there was a rush of releases after WoW. With the exception of addicts, most people can only spend so many hours a day playing games.
Well, they are gaming cards. 32GB is plenty for that.
It's been trivially demonstrable that the use of "forbidden" terms or swearing can affect your ranking on their algorithms, whether it be displaying your comment, or your post on someone's feed, etc., at least on Meta's platforms. So no matter how "cringe" you may find it, it's done out of some degree of necessity and precisely because of these dumb moderation mechanisms, not out of any misguided, altruistic self censorship.

My take is that the problem with "fake news" is that it hooks people emotionally.

To tell true from false you need to create a god. To detect emotionally contagious content is a student project in a data science class (ModernBERT + RNN for the win) so long as you have the training set (10000 examples would do it although curating 5000 emotionaly negative examples could wreck your mental health)

Suppress emotionally negative contagious content and you solve the problem of social media leading to political insanity. Bluesky is showing the way. The masses think "there is no algorithm" but they're wrong and Bluesky's competitors know better.
It took a while according to the first price chart I found. The initial release of the 4070 Ti/FE in Jan 2023 didn't move the price much but the later release did start dropping the price. Nvidia cards are pretty scarce early in the generation so the price effect takes a minute to really kick into full force.

I just upgraded from a 2080 Ti I had gotten just a few weeks into the earliest COVID lockdowns because I was tired of waiting constantly for the next generation.

My main issue with that approach is that your tests become flaky due to random data generation in your tests. They can be fine in your staging build pipeline and fail at your prod build pipeline. Extensive logging doesn't change that fact.

This removes a step for someone that would have searched for google and then clicked on the link and then done their real search, so overall it sounds like a nice improvement in the vast majority of cases. I don't expect many people that care about the difference between search engines to be using this method.

The shady part is the part where the price of the image magically increases (on their website) as soon as they detect a copyright infringement, so that they can get even more money from you.

All in all, as stated in the original comment, I believe it's in their right to do so (because the copyright infringement happened), but they take advantage of this in a shady / scammy way

The big grain of salt with that "the 5070 performs like a 4090" is that it is talking about having the card fake in 3 extra frames for each one it properly generates. In terms of actual performance boost a 5070 is about 10% faster than a 4070.

that's very different and a case where the closed community should bear that responsibility

but as far global FB community -- which doesn't really exist (there is no "community", just users) -- or, more precisely, what ends up in people feeds, the fact checking was a good thing because a lot of people consume news that way; so this is a big step in the wrong direction
One could easily remove the need for trampolines by having a wide function pointer type. In C, this would even be allowed without having a new type, but ABI compatibility makes this not practical. With a new qualifier this would be no problem though. The real reason some people are against it is that it diverges from C++.
They seem to be claiming the image in this case got bumped up to the highest price tier only because there was a C&D notice.
>I think it would have been product development malpractice

the thing is both community notes and top down moderation, if they have any purpose at all, are product malpractice. If they work, they are always going to be intrusive because that's what they're supposed to do, correct factually wrong information. Community notes is the neighborhood police, top down moderation is the feds but if they do their job either one is going to be annoying by definition.

If they're not intrusive they don't perform a corrective function and that's what largely happened to community notes. As time goes on they're more and more snarky and sarcastic meta comments rather than corrections.

The value in a debate is the candidates can directly address the opposition's claims.
So many of these "we lowered X" things are simply "We cut the portion size down by 34% to hit calorie/sugar goals".

That's where you get dumb things like "Here's a candy bar with 3.5 servings" to try and trick a consumer into thinking it's not as calorie dense as it is.
That's really interesting. What are the most important things you've learned to do with the LLMs to get better results? What do your problem descriptions look like? Are you going back and forth many times, or crafting an especially-high-quality initial prompt?

> they can be interpreted as attacking, or weakness

I think a more constructive way to look at it is one style puts a higher cost on wasting time than and the other style puts a higher cost on appearing unsympathetic. I call it "country style" (putting more value on appearing empathetic than being time-efficient) and "city style" (the opposite). People who grow up in one environment or the other often have trouble transitioning to the other simply because they don't understand that there are different quality metrics in play.

There is plenty of evidence happiness is, in part, relative. I’m not convinced there aren’t voters who would rather be a little poorer than better off but not as much as that other group.

I’m moderately wealthy. Split time between New York and Wyoming. It’s certainly wild that a bunch of voters in rural Pennsylvania feel strongly about lowering my taxes so long as it pisses off some liberals. If I had more resources and were more self centred, I could see myself encouraging that.

I used to be this way. I ended up liking coffee through a pretty ridiculous way - microwaving half of a Starbucks cold brew that I dumped a bunch of milk into.

Now I can drink whatever coffee with nothing in it, though I wouldn't say it tastes "good". It just scratches that itch. I think it's more of a minor compulsion than a preference.

They're not suggesting that they don't take issue, and so they don't need to take offense seriously.

They're suggesting that the people who conceivably might take issue generally don't and are instead being patronized by and condescended to by privileged, unaffiliated outsiders who assume -- without consent -- to speak on their behalf. And they don't take those people seriously.

It's totally reasonable to disagree with that view, but it's the not the same view your reply tries to engage with.

I am concerned about the community notes model they're moving towards.

Community notes has worked well on Twitter/X, but looking at the design it seems super easy to game.

Many notes get marked 'helpful' (ie. shown) with just 6 or so ratings.

That means, if you are a bad actor, you can get a note shown (or hidden!) with just 6 sockpuppet accounts. You just need to get those accounts on opposite sides of the political spectrum (ie. 3 act like a democrat, 3 act like a republican), and then when the note that you care about comes up, you have all 6 agree to note/unnote it.
Photo ofc will not be replaced

Photo is an image but also a record. The fact something really did exist and captured is probably more valuable than ever.

So wedding/event photographer really don’t have to worry about lose their job to AI

But in places where photo, as an image just to express abstract idea, without concerning where and when it happened, then that part of value goes to AI already
