Yeh, you are right. A snippet for they would have taken longer than booting an agent and let it hallucinate for—loop parameters that didn’t even exist.
I still think that's missing the point of LLMs; they're sources of plausible text continuations. Their strength is using them in places where the actual semantics of their output isn't important.
TCM is mostly used by people in China too poor to afford standard medicine. If they've got the money, they go for non-TCM. That's all, nothing to do with the evil CCP bogeymen.
While this seems true and may be true within China, the Chinese government does push for this to be accepted around the world by pressuring for its inclusion in WHO documents, and is trying to open up new markets for TCM “Pharma” in poorer nations.
I consider that quite evil as it’s not evidence based and undermines actually good, useful medicine. Just as I would/do consider anyone trying to increase take up of homeopathy in poorer parts of the world to be evil.
In the case of China and TCM there appear to be nationalist and financial motives.
It's not necessarily bad, these probably aren't hard figures but a GP once told me that of the cases he gets, if you do nothing much then 70% will get better by themselves, 20% will stay the same, and 10% will get worse (may have misremembered the numbers there). A lot of people just need a bit of reassurance and something to make them feel like they're doing something and they'll be OK, for which very affordable TCM is fine. Albert Schweitzer was once asked why he was OK with witch-doctors (as they were called then) practising outside his hospital, and he said they treated the stuff they could and sent the serious cases to him. It was an arrangement that worked for both sides.
It's impressive that he did it at 12, but like you said, he had years of focused practice under his belt before he did this one. Anyone can do this level of work - they just need to actually learn it. It doesn't require someone be born with talent.
Articles like this contribute towards the gatekeeping feeling people get about the arts in my opinion.
>Anyone can do this level of work - they just need to actually learn it.
Sorry, that's like saying with enough math practice, any kid could perform at the level of young Terry Tao (e.g. teaching himself calculus at 8, winning a gold medal at the International Math Olympiad at 12). Some people are just intrinsically talented at certain things, and no amount of hard work in people lacking those intrinsic talents will get them to that level. This is indisputable when it comes to athletic talent; everyone would agree that no matter how much an average tall person practices basketball, they will never play at the level of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, or even the lowest ranked NBA player [0], for that matter. Artistic and intellectual talent is no different.
I didn't say anyone can become Michelangelo. I said anyone can do this level of work.
That is, the exact same thing he did when he was 12, which is a master study. He didn't create the design - he copied a previous work and added color to find out what Schongauer's thought process was when making the original piece.
I very much doubt the majority of adults with sufficient practice could do this level of work. I can say with 100% certainty that an infinitesimal minority of 12 year olds with sufficient practice could do this level of work.
What are you basing this off of? Do you actually have any experience making art? Or is this just learned helplessness talking?
Also please stop implying I said any 12 year old can do this. I didn't. Once again, I said anyone who puts in the time can do what 12-year old Michelangelo did.
>What are you basing this off of? Do you actually have any experience making art? Or is this just learned helplessness talking?
I've done ≥weekly life drawing classes for 20+ years, and have observed the distribution of progress people make over time. Based on my observations and conversations with my teachers, I agree with you that a nontrivial fraction of adults starting with zero artistic ability can be trained to an advanced degree. But I disagree that this holds true for "anyone"; a larger fraction cannot be trained beyond a basic level.
>Also please stop implying I said any 12 year old can do this. I didn't.
You literally said: "It's impressive that he did it at 12, but he had years of focused practice under his belt before he did this one. Anyone can do this level of work - they just need to actually learn it." To me, that heavily implies any 12 year old with sufficient training is encompassed by that "anyone."
It’s hard to prove without knowing the app devs, but for points 1 & maybe 2, we can look at whether Americans think the raids are justified.
28% of them think they are [0]. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that the devs would be part of that number
Edit: it looks like the poll it’s for the recent incident of the woman who was shot - my mistake. Then I would assume the number for the raids themselves is higher
Google and Verizon were under fire recently from the DOJ for not complying with the govt's anti-DEI stance quickly enough[0]. If these policies truly aren't in the companies best interests, they would've dropped the policies on Jan 20th. Instead, they chose to continue them. I don't see how this squares with your assertion that they don't want to continue following DEI in staffing.
> So I have to run a ULA in parallel to the publicly accessible networks specifically for internal routing, and then use a DNS server to try and correct it. Which works great! ...except when you run into this little niche operating system called Android. Which by default doesn't obey a network provided DNS server if you've got privacy DNS enabled. So if I've got guests over and I want them on a network in my place to access some sort of internal resource, then I've got to walk them through disabling privacy DNS.
This also sounds like it would be a problem for v4? I'm not clear on how this is a v6 problem. If I'm picturing it correctly, it's a difference of handing the guests a local v4 address vs disabling privacy DNS and handing them a DNS name. I'd think the latter would be easier
Using a public domain for TLS certs for private networking is pretty standard in /r/selfhosted and /r/homelab at least.
Fair point on ISPs handing out /64 prefixes, but this is the first I've heard of them varying the prefix length once you know what you've got. I don't doubt it though
Not sure why you're insinuating that I dislike apple products. My personal mb air doesn't have this issue and most of my household is on apple.
I'm also seeing results for "macbook pro doesn't go to sleep when lid closed", so other people see this problem too. You can't really claim that other platforms have them beat here if there isn't data to support the claim.
> Not sure why you're insinuating that I dislike apple products.
Your comment was written in a manner that echos the same anti-Apple bias that's frequently found on HN. If that's not you, then it's just a misread on my part.
> You can't really claim that other platforms have them beat here if there isn't data to support the claim.
I can, because by and large those are still anecdotal experiences posted online. The deeper integration of OS/hardware due to Apple controlling the entire chain has made sleep mostly a non-issue; it's typically a misbehaving application that might prevent it. There are valid reasons an app might need to do that, so it's not like macOS is going to prevent it - but if sleep's not working right on macOS, it's typically a user error.
This is different from Linux (and Windows, to a lesser degree) where you have a crazy amount of moving parts with drivers/hardware/resources/etc.
Macs do sleep well, when they manage to sleep. Sometimes macOS takes issue with certain programs, the last stack I used at work had a ~50/50 chance of inhibiting sleep when it was spun up.
All in all, I've given up on sleep entirely and default to suspend/hibernate now.
A buggy program preventing sleep is a bug in that program, not a mark on the overall support and reliability of sleep functionality in macOS.
There are valid reasons why a program might need to block sleep, so it's not like macOS is going to hard-prevent it if a program does this. Most programs should not be doing that though.
This might be a good place to check the options available for OCR in-place translations. I took a look at OCR3, but it doesn't seem to support my use-case. It looks more tailored towards data extraction for further processing.
I've got some foreign artbooks that I would like to get translated. The translations would need to be in place since the placement of the text relative to the pictures around it is fairly important. I took a look at some paid options online, but they seemed to choke - mostly because of the non-standard text placements and all.
The best solution I could come up with is using Google Lens to overlay a translation while I go through the books, but holding a camera/tablet up to my screen isn't very comfortable. Chrome has Lens built in, but (IIRC) I still need to manually select sections for it to translate - it's not as easy to use as just holding my phone up.
Anyone know of any progress towards in-place OCR/translations?
I don't mind paying for one, though I do remember trying DEEPL without much success. Can't remember the problem offhand, but one of the services I tried just gave me a generic error when I uploaded the PDF. My view at the time was that it had a conniption and just gave up.
Wonder if Word uses the same system Edge has. I remember Edge was also good, but like Chrome's Lens, I'd need to highlight sections for it to get translated. Edge also OCR'd everything very well - just didn't do the translation part automatically.
