I am not so sure on that. They raise inflation, home prices, etc. The locals see no real benefit except having to pay more for everything. While more taxes are collected, most of that goes to offsetting just some of the economic pain induced by the people living there.

and it is in fact zero sum. every spot filled in university or company is a spot not taken by a local, as its obvious by the numbers, more local people are not getting admitted into CS programs nor are they being hired. its 100% zero sum when we are looking at these numbers and %s.

back in 2023 when this article was written, you'd get downvoted into oblivion on hacker news for using AI to summarize a very long article/post.

actually, I found that you can definitely yield better results. I ran an experiment with 1 prompt at temperature 0 and 9 with temperature 1.

I found the most anomalous response was as good (15/20) or better (5/20) than the temperature 0 response in 20 samples.

there is basically everything2vec, but if it doesn't exist, then you can train your own embeddings

I wasn't being literal when I said 'who wants to live that way' as in to mean every single person with no exceptions. yes, Locked-in syndrome is a thing. its not healthy but hey, you do you.

the point was not to get into a mask debate but "In other countries it's conventional to wear a mask any time you're remotely sick" should ring as BS to you, because those countries have flu and cold just like any other country.

AND if you ask them, they don't do it to prevent others from getting sick (not that that works unless you are gasping air through an n95), but they do it to protect themselves. This is especially true in China where there is also air pollution to consider.

yeah, this applies to any authoritarian, whether Communistic, Fascisms, or new age healer crystal worshipers

I disagree with the premises outright. I have no intention of causing no harm to anyone. Just by living, we cause harm to others and other beings.

I am going to say things to other people and that is going to make them upset, that is ok. They are going to say things that make me upset, that is ok.

Someone is going to give me a cold, flu, etc. and that is ok. They didn't have to do it, they could have stayed inside for weeks until they were sure they were not sick, but who wants to live that way?

There is a level of harm in anything that that a living thing does.

hmmm, wonder if some sort of embeddings, or even graph embeddings can yield some interesting insights into 'similar cities in road networks'

I did that myself, not sure whats wrong with my eyes >.<

you can call it NATO

well, we did blow up their pipeline, so not like we didnt open the salvo for making international resources fair game

I use the brita elite filter. its about 30$ for 2 of them and they last 6 months.

I have found that embeddings + LLM is very successful. I'm going to make the words up as to not yield my work publicly, but I had to classify something into 3 categories. I asked a simple llm to label it, it was 95% accurate. taking the min distance from the word embeddings to the mean category embeddings was about 96%. When I gave gave the LLM the embedding prediction, the LLM was 98% accurate.

There were issues an embedding model might not do well on where as the LLM could handle. for example: These were camel case words, like WoodPecker, AquafinaBottle, and WoodStock (I changed the words to not reveal private data). WoodPecker and WoodStock would end up with close embedding values because the word Wood dominated the embedding values, but these were supposed to go into 2 different categories.

its a feature, not a bug, sorry you don't understand it enough to get the most power from it.

actually, that's what makes chat gpt powerful. I like an LLM willing to go along with what ever I am trying to do, because one day I might be coding, and another day I might be just trying to role play, write a book, what ever.

I really cant understand what you were expecting, a tool works with how you use it, if you smack a hammer into your face, don't complain about a bloody nose. maybe dont do like that?

I struggle with the idea of monetization. In one sense, I think its great people can get paid for doing what they like to do and it can encourage more content creation. On the other hand, everything becomes disingenuous, people become perversely incentivized, you got people gluing things to turtles to make videos of them rescuing turtles with 'lichens' on their shells.

So I don't know, I am really torn on how I should feel about it

I use to get the flu 1 or 2 times a year. I started going out in more crowded areas, going to pub, etc, and I haven't had a cold or flu in 4 years.

I don't know the article knows as much as they think they do about health, because using muscles also damages them. I been nursing a bicep injury for the last 4 months.

I get its not a prefect analogy, but nothing is, else it would be the same thing

I don't think people should go licking railings, but total avoidance of germs is quite harmful. that's a fact.

there is a game that did that, played it during the pandemic, it would start as a google street view and you could move along the street.

the goal was to guess the location as quickly as possible

yeah, they expand faster at first and slow down afterwards until something else happens.

I was looking at the ocean floor and using smooth ocean floor as 'fast moving' and rough ocean floor as 'slow moving'.

South America is moving 3 cm / year. using that with the ocean floors and some guestimation,,, between 120 and 113 m years ago SA moved about 12 cm / year and slowed down to 3 betwen 113 m years ago and now. Assuming no movement from Africa

also whats interesting is that 66 million years ago, the continents were mostly where they are now. 120 million years ago Africa was touching Brazil

mosquitos are also valuable pollinators, they drink nectar most of their lives. I believe they are also an important food source for dragonflies.

I am also unfamiliar with how they are planning on taking them out. we need to make sure there isn't collateral damage or hardening the genetic strength of mosquitos

this is pretty interesting work, I am curious to what emerges from this kind of thing in the future. I have been working on something 'similar' that involves the same problem, how do you evaluate a response without a source of truth, and this gets at that.

I was looking at it from the stand point of the embeddings of the output with different temperatures

if what I understand is correct, that they project the LLM's internal activations into meaningful linear directions derived from contrasting examples, I guess this is similar to how we began to derive a lot more value from ebeddings by using the embedding values for various things.

would be interesting to see if they tried LDA (latent direchelet allocation) topics

that's partially true; however, I still think I was right.

yes, there are places that don't heat up because the current doesn't go through them, but only because they have easier paths. if the electricity wanted to go through them, they would heat up hotter than anything else.

the point is, things can corrode, electricity goes in places it wasn't intended or through resistances it wasn't intended, and becomes a fire hazard.

it does, but only for some. for me it causes massive muscle cramps, no matter how much water I drink.

other then that, creatine is considered the only supplement (protein not considered a supplement) that has virtually no side effects and known gain.

caffeine is behind that with some side effects.

beyond that, most other supplements havent been either to have proven benefits and proven no side effects

you do realize the reason why fires get started is because things become a BAD conductor right?

totally agree, I had an electrical device catch on fire because of this exact instance

Once electronics gets wet (like stuff you plug into a wall), it usually should be discarded for safety's sake.

edit: its not just that, the water causes the copper to oxidise and swell, touching places it shouldnt

I think shade needs thrown at NASA for taking too long to make SpaceX a part of this solution. If they are sending up an unproven vehicle, why not have SapceX already on stand by? These astronauts should have been home in June, now they are saying they might not be home until 2025? someone needs fired.
