If there's any company I trust to do this correctly, it's not NVIDIA.

It's been far too easy for me to notice security flaws in their products, and they take months to publish a fix.

I have already seen the LLM hallucinate prompts from me - in this case, hallucinating being asked to switch to a different programming language - because it wasn't able to complete the task asked for in a satisfactory way instead of giving up and telling me it's not able to do it.

If it doesn't already, I suspect training needs to include those no-solution scenarios and reward not overstepping bounds, or else we're going to see a lot more harmful side effects.

I got excited thinking maybe another one was going to be held, because it was a lot of fun to do! Oh well.

If I put my submission up on github, is that considered unethical in the days of LLMs?

There's a relatively easy technological solution to mold: buy a dehumidifier.

We bought two after moving to Ireland. Both have drainage hoses. One has a pump and empties into the kitchen sink, the other has no pump and the drainage hose empties into the shower. No more mold problems.

I'm not sure if I would have started using Linux but for buying an n800, so thanks for that.

We never did get around to our funeral for Nokia, sadly.

It's great marketing! But yes. He considers it an error to specify "Use the same knife for the jelly" even though it's considered correct to state "Wipe the knife clean before using it for jelly". The latter statement implies the former, and if you follow all the instructions both are not wrong.

I also consider some of the instructions to be under specified. For example, a piece of bread could be said to have 6 sides, but only 2 of those are helpful for making a sandwich.

I think this is partially restating "try smarter, not harder" with a lot more words.

I also think it's unkind not to recognize that we have limited time and energy and it's simply not possible to address everything all at once.

IMO the better takeaway is to learn to admit when we're doing that (deprioritizing a problem we don't have the resources to address,) rather than pretending there is no choice, so it occurs to us to revisit the problem if and when there are the resources to do so. My personal approach to this would be to add it a todo list with no assigned due date.

Also, I don't know who the author is talking about, but when I read:

"These are people who could successfully launch a product in a foreign country with little instruction, but who complain that there aren’t any fun people to meet on the dating apps."

I hear someone who maybe isn't valuing romantic relationships but also views admitting that as socially taboo, so they come up with an excuse for why they're not in a relationship. I don't necessarily perceive someone who isn't applying agency to all areas of their life.

With clothes, make it cheap so if you make the wrong decision it's not a big deal.

Also recognize you're engaging in the sunk cost fallacy by keeping clothes you don't actually want, and you're making the world better by allowing it to go to an owner who would better appreciate it.

Some more concrete ideas:

1. thrift stores

2. clothes rentals

3. clothing swaps

4. Buy the cheap version of what you think you might like (if it exists) first before buying the expensive version

5. Don't make your entire wardrobe trendy clothes. Make most of it relatively classic / basic and limit "trendy" to a subset of items.

I am surprised to see it here too. I find it unkind.

Not that you need to hear it from me, but you will be remembered and missed.

I'm not sure any party in office this last term could have won this election, given there was going to be significant inflation as a rebound from COVID.

The doctors had to be so certain that it was life threatening before acting that once they decided it was life-threatening, she was already going to die no matter what they did. And this is not an isolated incident.

The law has to allow for more uncertainty for the carve-out to be effective.

Me and my partner exclusively charge at work.
