Will there be a large-dose trial? I imagine that’s going to be more difficult, as the weight-loss effect of GLP-1 means you cant include frail patients in your target group. And GLP-1 at high doses also has some unfavourable side-effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation.


I think you naturally undergo that course when you are maintainer of a large OSS project.


Well, you go one of two ways. Classic Torvalds is the other way, until an intervention was staged.


There's a very short list of people who can get away with "Classic Torvalds"


Frankly the originator of this pull request deserves the "classic Torvalds" treatment, no matter who is delivering it.


In fact, anyone can get away with it. What are they going to do, call the police because you called them a moron?


Consider the facts: (1) most open-source maintainers have a real job (2) an unwritten rule of corporate culture is "(appear) nice" (see all of the "corporate speak" memes about how "per my last email" means "fuck off") (3) these developers may eventually need a job at another company (4) their "moron" comment is going to live forever on the internet...


If you're famous enough for that to filter to the whoever is handling your resume, it anything it will be positive


But then you’re creating an incentive for the AI slop to become so realistic it is indistinguishable from actual video.

Unless there some fundamental, technical way to distinguish the two, I wonder who would win?


I regularly get AI movie recaps on my shorts and I just eat it up.

The very fact that I (or billions of others) waste time on shorts is an issue. I don't even play games anymore, it's just shorts. That is a concerning rewiring of the brain :/

Guess what I`m trying to say is that, there is a market out there. It's not pretty, but there certainly is.

Will keep trying to not watch these damn shorts...


there would need to be cameras that can cryptographically sign videos with trusted vendor keys, or perhaps there is some other solution.


This is what https://c2pa.org/ is for. I think some camera vendors already have support.


While Bitcoin is designed to reward high energy consumption the opposite is true for the fiancial system, since lower energy costs would make the different processing entities earn higher margins.

Thus, the financial system provides much more utility for the energy it consumes than bitcoin does.


Bitcoin rewards energy efficiency by design, which is why the vast majority of bitcoin mining uses excess fully renewable energy.


Yeah, like running old coal powered plants to power mining facilities[1].

It seems most commenters here are trying to use the default model, which is akin to chatting with non-tuned GPT. There is a 7b-chat model, which answers perfectly to questions like “who are you?”


I read an absolutely heart-wrenching excerpt from this book (The People's Hospital) recently in the new yorker. See: https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-medicine/the-ass...

One interesting point it emphasises is just how important insurance coverage is for survival. And that government insurance processes can be rather arbitrary or even injust.

I hope this book is successful and that it makes a change towards more equitable healthcare in the United States.


The website has a '©Open AI™ 2014 - 2023' text in the bottom right if you go to another page. Maybe this supports the domain squatting / trademark abuse hypothesis?


Perplexity creates permalinks for your queries. Here's an example: https://www.perplexity.ai/?s=u&uuid=605b2823-3067-4cd1-aacf-...


Neat. I like the safe and stable feeling of permanence from a permalink, here.

Building on this, I see now permalinks could be challenging to integrate "perfectly" to PHIND's "Ask a followup question" value-add feature, because that feature depends upon the original query's model to provide "perfectly" (my word) useful "followup" results. And a permalink's model should be expected to quickly be stale, and quickly discarded, at this time.

I can conclude then, there is less value to permalinks at an app level, since the value-add features of the e.g. PHIND webapp may be compromised if they're intended to also work with the permalink data. And perhaps more value would comes from a trivial global, static history at the browser level instead of app.


I wouldn't want to host the tournament, but I'm also down for working on a web-client.


ChatGPT already works suficiently well in my own language (Danish). It can probably be improved, but so far it has worked well enough for several news stations to report on ChatGPT while prompting it in Danish. And schools are also worried about its ability to write essays in Danish, among other things.


I had some fun with it trying out a few Dutch dialects. Not perfect but it seems to be able to translate what it knows rather than rely on knowledge in a particular language only. Likeswise, it can translate programs to different languages. Paste some code and let it translate to Rust, kotlin or whatever.

So small languages are not necessarily a problem.


Even in Dutch, which like Danish is spoke by only a small amount of people. So there isn't that much training data.


Can vouch the same for Spanish.


Same for German


Can it rhyme in your languages? It can't rhyme in Dutch.
