If you want North Korean food, but not run by the North Korean government with the weird slavery shit, there's numerous Korean restaurants north of North Korea in Yanbian, Jilin/Changchun, etc. Just regular restaurants, mostly run by Chinese that are ethnically Korean.

"Someone" has a serious phobia regarding shower heads and gas stoves. My house came with a gas stove with three pilots that heat up the house on those 110 degree days and I can't find the shutoff (it's behind the stove somewhere) to shut the damn thing off without killing the furnace and water heater.

Consolation might be if I sell the abomination, some deranged (pun unintended) person may overpay for the nostalgia.

As for the alternative, PG&E more than doubled my electric rates, though I did get a stovetop Wolf oven, never having had an oven that was accurate. My former Breville quit one day after the warranty expired. I believe the cause was a 29 cent inline fuse buried between panels past about 30 screws holding the back on. I never found the fuse.

Most cities require a grid electrical connection as a requirement for habitability. The codes all refer to ‘utility providers’ for building permits, and require utilities (including electrical, water, etc.) be present and provided before the unit is considered ‘habitable’. Even temporary power (required to start construction before you could even install a solar installation, with the way most permits are done) has to be permitted and done a specific way.

Here is one example code from Arizona [https://law.justia.com/codes/arizona/title-9/section-9-467/].

And a lot of unclear discussion [https://www.reddit.com/r/phoenix/comments/4ugdtu/is_it_illeg...]

At a state level they’ve been making it clearer that it is technically legal - but it’s still hard to actually do.

There has been a lot of controversy on this topic, with permits getting denied in cities when the plan was to be off grid (and people just caving), and some utilities explicitly raising connection fees to ensure zero-usage customers were still paying them.

It gets people really angry too of course (at least in the US) because ‘what do you mean big government won’t let me do what I want on my own land!’.

The reality is, the types of folks who actually want to go truly off grid (and don’t feel the need/prioritize the backups provided by an optional grid connection, or think it is too expensive) probably already live far enough in the boonies that building codes are largely optional anyway.

It’s pretty rare that a random city dweller is going to be trying to go 100% off grid in their condo, or would have the physical space or legal ability to do so, regardless of what the city says.

And code enforcement looking too closely at things way out in the sticks tends to find itself in some very dangerous situations - the type people just disappear from sometimes and are never found - especially out in the remote parts of America’s deserts/woods.
> OCR is already at the point where adding an LLM at the end is counterproductive

That's mass OCR on printed documents. On handwritten documents, LLMs help. There are tons of documents that even top human experts can't read without context and domain language. Printed documents are intended to be readable character by character. Often the only thing a handwriting author intends is to remind himself of what he was thinking when he wrote it.

Also, what is the downstream tasks? What do you need character level accuracy for? In my experience, it's often for indexing and search. I believe LLMs have a higher ceiling there, and can in principle (if not in practice, yet) find data and answer questions about a text better than straightforward indexing or search can. I can't count the number of times I've e.g. missed a child in genealogy because I didn't think of searching the (fully and usually correctly) indexed data for some spelling or naming variant.

AFAIK, they split VP in two seniority levels, and they also split tech jobs into two tracks, manager and IC. So now, in practice, you get 4 flavours of VP. Same for EDs and, I think, MDs.
This piece reminded me of a few things I think about a bit too much:

- I imagine there would be almost zero storytelling (as we know it) if people where better at communicating like this (as most plots would just seem weird).

- something about this made me think about bullying and how we haven't managed to "solve" that problem (for kids or adults)

- there are a few corporate-speak words in the text that makes me question myself if I've failed to realise that this is a sarcastic piece, but I'm 95% sure it's an honest text with clear intentions.

- I'm probably misremembering a lot, but I quite like how this expands a tiny bit on Non-Violent Communication to include the "we" that is so important in groups.

Yeah, I don't get OPs take. ChatGPT 3.5 was basically just a novelty, albeit an exciting one. The models we've gotten since have ingrained themselves into my workflows as productivity multipliers. They are significantly better and more useful (and multimodal) than what we had in 2022, not just marginally better.
I would not be surprised if the same kind of scenario is happening somewhere in the US, but I doubt it is common enough to make any difference to land use statistics. There’s always going to be edge cases where you can debate whether they should be counted as public or private, but so long as they are sufficiently rare, they disappear in the rounding of the statistics.

Also, the term “private land state” is somewhat confusing (although officially correct), since private land states can still have extensive land holdings by state or local governments, and they can even have federal lands - it is just their federal lands were originally private land or non-federal public lands, unlike much of the federal lands in the public land states, which have been federal lands since the very beginning of US sovereignty over them

There was this super interesting new research..

https://www.sciencealert.com/alzheimers-may-not-actually-be-...

Alzheimer's may not be primarily a brain disease but rather an autoimmune disorder where the brain's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, with beta-amyloid playing a central role.

There is a growing consensus that focusing solely on beta-amyloid has led to stagnation in treatment development, prompting researchers to explore alternative theories and treatment pathways.

Also there is potential fabrication of data in a key 2006 study linking beta-amyloid to Alzheimer's and the FDA's approval of aducanumab, which has faced criticism for its incomplete data.

I use these models to aid bleeding edge ml research every day. Sonnet can make huge changes and bug fixes to my code (that does stuff nobody else has tried in this way before) whereas GPT 3.5 Turbo couldn’t even repeat a given code block without dropping variables and breaking things. O1 can reason through very complex model designs and signal processing stuff even I have a hard time wrapping my head around.
true; the focus really should be on sincerely caring about getting the group back on track. Needless to say (because the article already did) this is also something you need to practice to get good at, so there's a balance to strike

Much of this is a symptom of Corpo Talk. Corpo Talk avoids offending anyone, but may lead to the elephant in the room only getting discussed over beers later (WFH equivalent: 1:1 Zoom calls).

Corpo Talk colors people after a while. Even some of this author's suggestions are beating around the bush. They advocate "naming what's happening" and then just as quickly walk that back to "Ask, Don’t Tell" and the perennially Corpo "we."

My experience echos this but on a smaller scale, I’ve visited the NK run restaurant in Bangkok in 2019 and found it to be basically any average nondescript very dated East Asian / Korean restaurant, but odd. It was smaller, maybe seating 60-75 tops?

The food was fine, and they played NK music (the kind you’d hear on Korean Central Television) while we ate. The unique thing I recall on the menu was the Pyongyang Cold Noodles which I did not get.

Unfortunately the waitresses did not do karaoke which I heard was the entertainment and the whole experience was notable but not like “holy crap”.

When asked about takeaways they did offer to sell me NK cigarettes and Soju.

Twitter, like many tech companies, was composed of a small core worth a small fraction of its valuation plus a large number of speculative bets. It's easy for an owner who doesn't care about the valuation to simply stop doing the speculative bets; it doesn't require any kind of clever employee performance analysis.

If your goal is to replace one unreliable source of information (Google first page) with another, sure - we may be there. I'd argue the GPT 3.5 already outperformed Google for a significant number of queries. The only difference between then and now is that now the context window is large enough that we can afford to paste into the prompt what we hope are a few relevant files.

Yet what's essentially "cat [62 random files we googled] > prompt.txt" is now being confidently presented with academic language as "62 sources". This rubs me the wrong way. Maybe this time the new AI really is so much better than the old AI that it justifies using that sort of language, but I've seen this pattern enough times that I can be confident that's not the case.

> Whether that made it "hidden" depends on what you mean by that word. Frontpage space is the scarcest resource on HN [1] - there are only 30 slots. Does everything not in those 30 count as hidden? I wouldn't say so.

I checked the first 10 or so pages of 30, until reaching the point where all posts were much older, and there were enough of a similar age with fewer points that it seemed unlikely that all of them had been up-weighted.

Edit: Okay, it's rank 738, on page 25.
The main point is, it doesn't really matter if your content is technically good, it has to be genuinely entertaining. Every successful food tuber I can recollect has a very interesting character; they're often genuinely funny. Or they have found a gimmick in how they present their content. Or they have found some topics that can discuss while cooking that keeps the viewers hooked.

Basic technical competency in the video is tablestakes but most of that can be achieved with some minimal initial investment and gruntwork. But after that it's your charisma that makes you succeed. If you have none then that's on you.

This is a common problem with regulatory agencies. They're created to address some real problem, but then they address it, and they still exist, so what are they supposed to do now?

Meanwhile the original rules were the low-hanging fruit. Originally some products were only 50% efficient, but the modern products are 90% efficient. Energy consumption fell from 300 W to 167 W. If you ask them to trim off another 133 watts, that's a violation of the laws of physics. If you ask them for the last 17 watts that are theoretically physically possible, that's not really a thing either. At best you can trim off another 5 W by making some onerous design trade offs that aren't worth five watts.

But what are they going to do if their job is to make new rules?
No, it's only for stuff which needs 'special competency'. E.g if you are a plumber then changing gaskets are Ok (because that's something 'anyone' can do), but not bigger stuff.
Code has externally verifiable boundaries - tests pass, features work, requirements are met. These are measurable, binary states.

But an artist's boundaries are internal and subjective. They're set by:
- Emotional satisfaction with the work
- Achievement of their vision
- Cultural/personal context
- Intuitive sense of "rightness"

This is why AI can more readily determine when code is "done" - it matches against explicit criteria. But AI struggles with artistic completion because it requires an internal, subjective experience of satisfaction that AI can't access.

The artist knows to stop when the work resonates with their intended emotional impact. Code is done when it works as specified. One is bounded by feeling, the other by function.
I used to be an EMT in the US. I also was an avid motorcycle rider for many, many years. And an avid bicycle rider for even longer.

It is dramatically easier to screw yourself up on bicycles
and motorcycles than cars. It’s frankly shocking how stupid someone can be in a modern car and survive.

It doesn’t require another car to kill someone on a motorcycle or bicycle, but the squids tend to filter themselves out pretty quickly. Many of them actively collide with cars due to their own recklessness and/or stupidity, making the statistics somewhat hard to interpret.

Was the 80 year old driving the RV ‘the cause’ of the head on collision, or the 22 year old with the 1.5l super bike illegally passing over a double yellow at 50 over the speed limit around a corner?

I can provide graphic details of who ended up winning in that situation, regardless.

If everyone had to ride instead of drive (including drunks, soccer moms, burnt out graveyard shift workers, medical workers on their second 24 hour shift, retirees, etc), you’d see a lot more dead folks overall.

Because even though cars are also more dangerous to other people, for the most part, those other people are in cars in the US, and the danger still generally cancels out.

Even head on collisions at highway speeds are more survivable than anyone should reasonably be able to expect.

Vehicle vs ped calls are still the worst though.

Protip: don’t get out of your car after an accident on the highway unless you’re really really sure you can see all other traffic. Chances are you can’t, especially at night. Especially when the drunk coming the wrong way on the highway never turned on their headlights. Wait for the firefighters to physically block the road with their rigs first. That was a gnarly call.

Kind of but not really completely correct. It's not for professionals in general, but for self-employed professionals. And 'only' for the work which needs special competency. E.g is changing gaskets as a plumber ok, but more serious work triggers VAT.

But yeah, pretty lame rule, and I doubt many actually follows it. I think it's primarily meant for people doing house flipping.

For R1-Zero they did RL on two properties:

a) there is a 'thinking' box and an 'answer box' (format constraint)

b) the answer box has a correct answer

Note that there is nothing about the contents of the thinking box in the reinforcement learning. Only that there is such a box.

They then observe that during RL, the model will start generating more and more stuff in the thinking box.

In essence this is the emergence of using more test-time compute to improve answers.

When reading out the thinking box, they found the model reflecting on its own answers, going back and changing its mind, and reflecting on the question, etc, similar to what we can see with R1 now. These are fully emergent phenomenon, without any prompting to do such a thing!

(The reasoning output would sometimes be a bit garbled and switch languages randomly, so for R1 they added some constraints to make the thinking content intelligble to humans. This actually made the model slightly worse at answering questions correctly.)

I’ve never read a press release by a US government agency before, so it may be the standard, but the language in it strikes me as petty and childish, especially the last piece; “sprinkler nozzles that just don’t work well”.

“The people, not the government, should be choosing the home appliances and products they want at prices they can afford.” - you still get to choose which appliance you have in your home, but the government is there to help ensure that appliance is reliable and efficient.
