I've been fighting for probably a full decade at this point to get Swiftkey to stop turning "ok" into "OK" and making me look like either a geriatric or a lunatic. It doesn't matter how many times I tell it to

The crop is also a problem. I occasionally work with tobacco graders. Extended exposure to tobacco plants will absolutely destroy your skin.

Sure, sure, but would it have killed them to drop in a few five dollar "don't hit this object" ultrasonic proximity sensors?

"Complexity" is not a magic force that must be conserved. In any system that has both an energy gradient and a path for that energy to travel that is not isotropic, complexity will emerge as entropy increases. That holds whether t

Someone needs to write a buyer's guide for GPUs and LLMs. For example, what's the best course of action if don't need to train anything but do want to eventually run whatever model becomes the first local-capable equivalent

I never know what to expect anymore. We live in a world where computers can describe paintings and write sonnets about them but a half-trillion dollar car company can't figure out how to parallel park with eight cameras.

It's remarkably difficult to find good data comparing the "generous safety net" approach to the "tough love" approach in terms of effects on homelessness, poverty, and crime.

Ultimately this question is the question of why the universe isn't completely isotropic in all directions with a completely uniform distribution of matter and energy. To the best of our knowledge this is due to quantum effects at the b

I wouldn't exactly call ChatGPT's rules "fine-tuned". They seem quite crude and blunt. Doesn't it still tell you that someone should kill millions of people rather than say the n-word?

I don't think we are smarter than evolution, in this regard. Evolution is not smart at all. It trends toward reproductive success and that's all. At the most basic level, natural selection is an emergent phenomena of an energy-s

Arresting people and incarcerating them for petty crimes? The result of not arresting someone for breaking into a car is not someone getting their car broken into, but an entire population who believes they are not safe.

Some people claim social services for the homeless make it "too easy" to stay unhoused. Googling the problem seems to only result in punditry and rhetoric but not any kind of meaningful analysis as to whether a "tough love&qu

If they have a web presence that they regularly update it doesn't really matter what the label is, it can likely be used to infer a whole bunch of stuff. My 90s-era internet paranoia has never steered me wrong. I don't put out m

On a recent HN discussion on crime in SF, someone said one of the reasons it's so visible is that high income and low income sections are adjacent and intertwined. Is this true? More importantly if perhaps more crassly, is it worth it?

Not to mention elimination of pointless work. I needed to gather various statistics on the speakers at the previous ICM Why did this work need to be done? Are even the people who say they want this data actually going to use it for some

You can entirely forget the computational side of it. The carbon footprint of the man-hours related to implementation is going to be an order of magnitude larger.

My god it's satisfying to look at a web page that's 100% useful, curated content. No overhyped clickbait nonsense, no social media garbage, no "partner content".

The way OpenAI has set their models up for prompting and follow-up is where their real advantage is. It's very hard to take a model you can run locally and just go "Hey, write me a powershell script to convert all these files into

LLAMA isn't there and probably never will be, but the possibility of running something equivalent to ChatGPT has certainly made me reconsider my GPU purchases. I wonder if in the end will it be Nvidia's CUDA advantage or AMD'

Sometimes the joined area is not visibly accessible, and I don't know if lead has been used. You could use a lead test swab. They come as small as precision q-tips.

This is one hundred percent going to generate more carbon than it saves.

I'm flatly amazed they couldn't prove anybody died as a result of her deliberate greed-fueled negligence in providing fake medical test results. She should be charged with manslaughter.

Problem being that community colleges will happily lie to your face about what does and does not transfer and most community college students aren't going to lawyer up about it.

As someone who despises even stepping foot in a downtown area, I still recognize that cars just don't make sense at population densities that high. Big cities have much better ways of getting people around, and efficient car infrastruc

My comments are typically pro-American when the topic is international relations and highly critical of the US government when the topic is domestic policy. That is not the only content of my entire comment history as is the case with the r

Democrats bristle when anyone compares what happened that day to Jan. 6. Nobody died at the Tennessee protest, they say. No windows were broken. There were no battles with police. That is all true. An estimated 1,000 students, parents, a
