Someone cheated on their YC interview with the help of your open source project whose purpose is to help people cheat on interviews? Sounds like it's working as intended.
Food / cooking:
- https://www.youtube.com/@imamuroom She used to do a lot of bento boxes but has since switched to regular home cooking. Good for getting meal inspirations.
- https://www.youtube.com/@AcreHomestead She does a lot of "meal prep" style videos and food preservation, including lots of freezer meals. Also good for inspiration.
- https://www.youtube.com/@Doobydobap She has a few long-ish videos that give a good high level overview of Korean cooking. The majority of the channel is more vlog-like but I've only watched her cooking videos.
- https://www.youtube.com/@CSaffitz Mostly does desserts. Her recipes tend to be on the more complex side. I'd look to her if I really want to perfect a recipe.
Others:
- https://www.youtube.com/@theleanbeefpatty Gym videos. More of a mindless entertainment channel than informational. She has a pet pig.
- https://www.youtube.com/@Caroline_Winkler Interior design. She has a peculiar sense of humor that's not quite my style, but the information is good.
Reread your post and I'm still not getting it. What was the point?
Donations from one person aren't going to do much good. At best, it'll provide a bit of short term relief. The system that enables billionaires to exist is still in place, which means they'll just suck up anything that this one person donates, leaving us with one less caring person capable of enacting further change and amoral corporations becoming more powerful.
We need to change the system so that everyone contributes. It makes little sense for any single person to contribute when no one else does because you gain much less than what you put in, but if everyone contributes, then you get the opposite scenario where everyone gains more than what they put in. That's why taxes exist in the first place.
We have healthcare figured out for the most part. The issue here is housing.
Wine is also so easy and cheap to make at home. The only reason to buy commercial wines is if you're picky about the specific flavours. How many people do you know that are that picky? Pretty much everyone I know enjoys some wine on occasion and not a single one of them care about what kind of wine is served.
I'd add that they also have your roommate at knife point. I don't think it changes the answer too much, but it's closer to the scenario that OP is probably thinking about.
I just want predictable prices when I go out to eat. I don't want to find out after getting the bill that your idea of a reasonable tip for good service is 25%.
The way I understand it (based on some introspection and reading the experiences of other autistic people), it's not a matter of ability to process information but rather the inability to not process information. We don't have the innate ability to recognize what's important and what isn't, which hinders our ability to recognize that two situations are the same and should be handled the same way. Asking "why?" is an attempt at understanding the pattern so that we can generalize in the same way as other non-autistics instead of memorizing every individual situation.
The ah-ha moment for me was realizing that the only thing of value that you get from recycling scrap is holmium ore.
Vaguely remember that fire can be made by rubbing two sticks together.
Try to make fire.
Fail.
Get kicked out of tribe for wasting time with sticks instead of helping with the hunt.
If you're interested in AR, you should pay attention to AI too since it looks like the two fields will be intersecting very soon, if not already. Meta has been putting a lot of work into dense point tracking models with very impressive results. It's probably safe to assume AR is their intended application of the tech given their investments in the Meta-verse.
Two more questions need answering before these findings can become actionable:
- How do these two groups compared to a third group that can use both? ChatGPT is pretty useless on its own when correctness is important, but it improves a lot when you combine it with ways to verify its output.
- How much time and effort would this new group need to accomplish the same task? One of ChatGPT's strengths is being able to communicate a piece of information in many different ways, and in whatever order you ask of it. It's then much faster to verify or through a legitimate source than it is to learn from those sources in the first place.
Generation ability seems to be about the same as any other model. The advantage of normalizing flows is that operations are invertible. That allows you to not just generate samples, but also calculate the probability of a sample.
It looks like Laurent Dinh (dude who originally came up with normalizing flows) is one of the authors of this work.
The long-forgotten technique? Normalizing flows. It feels like it was just last year that they were all the rage. It's insane how fast the field is moving.

I don't know very well how the legislative process works, but to the best of my understanding, the last step involves a vote where we decide whether to pass a bill. A simple majority means it passes, otherwise it's rejected. This leads to an interesting (and possibly dangerous) dynamic where the government can be very different depending on whether or not the winning party has a majority. It means that when we have a majority, it can lead to what we call "tyranny of the majority". It also means that there's very little difference in how much influence a smaller party can have between having a single MP until the point where they can team up with another party to form a majority. It means that even if we get proportional voting for selecting MPs, we might still need to vote strategically in order to either ensure or prevent a majority government, or to encourage a specific coalition government.
Do we have any potential solutions for this? Or did I maybe misunderstand how things work and this isn't actually a problem?
Andrew Barto and Richard Sutton are the recipients of the 2024 ACM A.M. Turing Award for developing the conceptual and algorithmic foundations of reinforcement learning. In a series of papers beginning in the 1980s, Barto and Sutton introduced the main ideas, constructed the mathematical foundations...

Anyone interested in learning about RLHF? This text isn't complete yet, but looks to be a pretty useful resource as is already.
Apparently we can register as a liberal to vote in the upcoming leadership race. What does it mean if I register? What do I gain (besides the aforementioned voting) and does it place any kind of restrictions on me (e.g. am I prevented from doing the same with a different party)?
This manuscript gives a big-picture, up-to-date overview of the field of (deep) reinforcement learning and sequential decision making, covering value-based method, policy-gradient methods, model-based methods, and various other topics (e.g., multi-agent RL, RL+LLMs, and RL+inference).
An overview of RL published just a few days ago. 144 pages of goodies covering everything from basic RL theory to modern deep RL algorithms and various related niches.

If there's insufficient space around it, then it'll never spawn anything. This can be useful if you want to keep a specific spawner around for capture later but don't want too spend resources on killing the constant stream of biters.
I'm looking to get some smart light switches/dimmers (zigbee or matter if that's relevant), and one of the requirements for me is that if the switches aren't connected to the network, they would behave like regular dumb switches/dimmers. No one ever advertises anything except the "ideal" behaviour when it's connected with a hub and their proprietary app and everything, so I haven't been able to find any information on this.
So my question: is this the default behaviour for most switches? Are there any that don't do this? What should I look out for given this requirement?
---
Edit: Thanks for the responses. Considering that no one has experienced switches that didn't behave this way nor heard of any, I'm proceeding with the assumption that any switch should be fine. I got myself some TP Link Kasa KS220 dimmers and it works pretty well. Installation was tough due to its size. Took me about an hour of wrangling the wires so that it would fit in the box. Dimming also isn't as smooth as I'd like, but it works. I haven't had a chance to set it up with Home Assistant yet since the OS keeps breaking every time I run an update and I haven't had time to fix it after the last one. Hopefully it integrates smoothly when I do get to it.
This is a video about Jorn Trommelen's recent paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38118410/
The gist of it is that they compared 25g protein meals vs 100g protein meals, and while you do use less of it for muscle protein synthesis at that quantity, it's a very minor difference. So the old adage still holds: Protein quantity is much more important than timing.
While we're at it, I'd also like to share an older but very comprehensive overview of protein intake by the same author: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/athlete-protein-intake/
Ten years ago, Dzmitry Bahdanau from Yoshua Bengio's group recognized a flaw in RNNs and the information bottleneck of a fixed length hidden state. They put out a paper introducing attention to rectify this issue. Not long after that, a group of researchers at Google found that you can just get rid of the RNN altogether and you still get great results with improved training performance, giving us the transformer architecture in their Attention Is All You Need paper. But transformers are expensive at inference time and scale poorly with increasing context length, unlike RNNs. Clearly, the solution is to just use RNNs. Two days ago, we got Were RNNs All We Needed?

OpenAI just put out a blog post about a new model trained via RL (I'm assuming this isn't the usual RLHF) to perform chain of thought reasoning before giving the user its answer. As usual, there's very little detail about how this is accomplished so it's hard for me to get excited about it, but the rest of you might find this interesting.
Following up on another question about open source funding, how does it usually work when there is funding to pay for the dev's work, then someone new joins in and makes significant contributions? Does the original dev still keep everything? Do you split the funds between the devs? If so, how do you decide how much each person gets? Are there examples of projects where something like this has happened?
There's many posts here with the purpose of convincing people to support electoral reform. Not so much that's actually actionable. What do we do if we want to change things? For a start, does anyone have information on who's responsible for the election system at each level of government in each of the major cities?
I think it's generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there's still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.
So what's your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

I suspect this is a problem with posts that have extremely long bodies like this one: https://slrpnk.net/comment/8035803
I'm trying to scroll down to the top first comment and inevitably overshoot. When I i try to scroll back up, it suddenly jumps back to the middle of the OP's body.
I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.
Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!
I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.
