> in the history of past requests I have two past requests to disable training that were granted
Where do you see this history? I'd love to check mine to confirm this
Not an accusation! Just seems like it's happening, which is why I wanted to post this to ask if others noticed the same thing. I definitely can't prove it. If it had just been me I would have assumed I forgot to turn it off. But the fact that my coworkers noticed the same thing made it suspicious. Also the linked HN thread suggested others have seen this happening too
fair enough, but I still think it's an ethical issue for the model providers to silently reenable training after people have explicitly opted out
fwiw I can still see my usage in the Codex app

My company is pretty paranoid about leaking IP to the frontier labs through prompts, so we've all been diligent about disabling data sharing in Codex/Claude Code/etc. But yesterday my coworkers and I noticed that the setting had been silently reenabled in Codex. None of us knowingly opted back in.You can check your settings here: https://chatgpt.com/settings/data-controls. Look for "Improve the...
This is great feedback! Thanks for giving it a try.
You're right that we're limited in how much news we can pull. Generally, we can only look about 90 days into the past for news articles.
I'd definitely like to expand the corpus of information that we can pull from. Getting access to reliable historical data is high on that list, as it will dramatically improve base rate estimation.
We just increased our server resources because a lot of questions are getting asked (thank you!). Hoping to keep the wait times manageable

It's hard for sure. But much easier for you than your kids/grandkids

I need them to drive and I wear them at work. I didn't appreciate how much I was missing them outside until I got some.
I'll add my own: prescription sunglasses. Game changer.

Someone asked this [0] at the end of last year and I found it really useful for gift ideas. Figured it was worth another go![0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34272687
The data was based on behavior between 1999-2014, which means it was behavior that almost certainly was not health motivated since intermittent fasting wasn't popular then. So I think you have to ask: why were these people skipping meals? I think there are a lot of possible explanations and they are all potential confounds.
Like, one obvious reason people skip meals is that they don't have time. If you don't have time to eat, you're probably working long hours and really stressed out. Stress could easily contribute to CVD or otherwise take years off your life.
Another obvious reason to skip meals: you don't have money to buy food. Poverty is well known to lead to worse health outcomes.
Or one more: people skip meals because they have no appetite. What's a big cohort that routinely skips meals because they have no appetite? The elderly.
Maybe they ruled these kinds of things out in the full paper (I've only read the abstract) but so far I'm unimpressed.

OpenAI[0] and Apple[1] both do this. Are there other companies that offer something similar? Specifically: I'm wondering what other companies have open, temporary positions for engineers without an ML background to get hands on, production experience in ML. Thanks in advance![0] https://openai.com/blog/openai-residency/

Ah, my bad. I didn't realize this was an official category. Thanks for correcting
I was wondering if anyone would catch that! Yeah, it's definitely part of the "fiction" here. L-glucose can bind to some things, e.g. taste receptors. "Nothing in nature can interact with it" was definitely an over-simplification
You know, someone else gave me similar feedback as well. I'm kind of reluctant to make it longer, but might be a better story if it is. Like: maybe have something about the government responses to it and what happens, etc, work some of the explanations in there. Going to keep this in mind, appreciate it!
Sweet, I actually love that! Upregulating a plant pathogen feels like it could be disastrous. If I had a better grasp of ecology I'd have thought of more examples like, haha. Might include it in a future iteration if you don't mind!
Oh man, that's a _massive_ complement. So glad you enjoyed it :)
Oh awesome! I'll look forward to reading this. Thanks for the link
Thanks so much for reading it! That's a really interesting idea -- honestly I hadn't thought of it. I guess the rough thought is that too much ecological damage is done too fast for us to reverse it. But I'll keep mulling this over
