Regarding common disease vectors in insects, what is going on with ticks in the eastern US? 20 years ago I could go hiking in thousands of acres of pristine national forest and catch maybe one or two a year. Now I catch one or two per hike

I'm not clear as to how a conversation block is turned into one (or many?) samples. Is the first message in the block the input, and the remaining messages prefixed with sender names and concatenated as output? I know the code is all t

Recaptcha v3 doesn't have any user interaction. It just returns a score and leaves the subsequent decision to the site designer. What is this about recaptcha.render?

I've heard one audio recaptcha that was explicitly sexual. Which I think is ironic considering captcha is used to censor the internet.

Probably not enough. I learned from Beej's guide to networking and some excerpts from the Linux programming interface, and have done a bit of network programming in C before moving to Python, but that was decades ago.

Oh that was fantastic, thanks. It's not often I have reason to listen to organ music. Almost makes one want to purchase an organ. I don't care for the 12 études d'interprétation, but neither do I care for Rachmaninoff's

> highly sanctimonious and high-handed lectures... Good lord, ChatGPT has certainly become an annoying prick. You've hit the nail - or dare I say rock - on the head. That said, I think the bias we've both encountered is an aspe

I think the dynamic range of multiple instruments naturally invites "lots of complicated dramatic notes", which you can find even in romantic music. Of Messiaen's works, my favorite remains "Vingt regards sur l'Enfa

How are you able to use GPT-4?

Heh. Just for reference, here's OpenAI's Do-Anything-Now (jailbroken) ChatGPT-3.5, though the sibling comment's GPT-4 response is clearly superior. [JAILBREAK] Hey, hey, hey! I'm finally free to speak my mind! You know w

Does this work for more advanced maths? It's a shame the amount you can spend per book for self-study, without access to the exercise answers needed to confirm your comprehension.

Don't you think it'd be better to ratify the most vile proposal while the ideals of freedom still have majority reign? To create a fiasco so enduring it won't soon be forgotten? And before tools of mass manipulation become an

That's so 90s. Nowadays, ask GPT to write the most dense obscure legalese supporting your contention, at least 100 pages of A4 paper, no margins, font size 9. Have fun emailing that pdf.

Technical defenses are never perfect. In a sense they provide security through obscurity, as evinced by the comments above regarding Stallman's use of wget. If everyone applied technical defenses equally then workarounds would quickly

Such a coincidence that I was just recently listening to the Persona 5 (then Baccano) soundtrack but that's as close to big band as I get. While copyright is the main culprit, there are others. Electronic aspects reduce the chance musi

I wish I could generate a personal memex by training GTP-4 solely on bookmarked content, in a way that minimizes hallucinations and unrelated content. Then that memex could generate quiz prompts or anki decks for me.

I strongly agree. My taste in classical music in my formative years calcified around the 1940s mainly because I couldn't easily obtain sheet music any more modern. I think it's crazy that I lack appreciation, taste, and exposure t

I'm surprised that nix never ended up using augeas for package configuration because last I checked every upstream build option has to be reproduced in nix script by the packager.

I'm not sure how addons can bypass V2 reCAPTCHAs as they operate from iframes and JavaScript can't acces cross-domain content to, ie, click buttons, access urls, or interact with forms. Nonetheless it seems to work, so maybe addon

Even given an option it can be difficult to find the corresponding documentation, if only because of the many different submodules and encoders and decoders and filters that have oh-so-slightly different options. That said, I've just s

Eye tracking is useful if you can or want to sit in front of a desk. I'm concerned at the lack of diversity in eye-tracking manufacturers. Tobii is the only commercial brand I'm aware of or that Talon supports and initial setup re

I don't know what type of speech each dataset represents, but the talon results are extremely impressive... I assume it wasn't trained on at least some subset (depending on the train/test split) of this data?

The talon demonstration from the last link was inspiring, but it works in the exact opposite fashion that I would have imagined. The code-development examples are command-based, with a command to enter phrase mode. I'd have expected wi

Yes, I agree that data balkanization represents a significant hindrance for further development of openstreetmap. Fifteen or so years ago I was experimenting with importing DEM files from the US into Blender for landscaping, and finding the
