I was in a similar boat, and this book[1] helped me a lot. It deals with the roots of procrastination, which lie in poor mood management and the lack of self-compassion. If you want to go deeper into self-compassion, I found this book[2] very helpful.
I'm with you. I get that this is akin to asking a human, because we're trying to reason, so we will bring along (assumedly) unavoidable deficiencies of human reasoning. But if I were to ask a human genius this question, ne would grab a calculator and employ it as ne did the rest of ner reasoning.
So it seems like we should probably teach LLMs to "use a calculator", rather than try to get them to be more right when doing math 'in their head'.
Solving that will be a much bigger deal but it's at odds with producing a highly accurate emulation of human thought and language. Language models can serve as tools to understand and experiment with logic formulated as natural language but it isn't their primary purpose. What you're asking is equivalent to creating an auditable trace of everything that goes into making a statement which is pretty much impossible even for the person making a statement. We can get close by limiting ourselves to narrow domains like mathematics but even then someone can come along and question the premises on which we construct such a system. I'm not saying it isn't worth pursuing, it just isn't the standard that we should hold a model to when we ourselves are incapable of it. The goal here is to create a system capable of doing the things that a human can do. If you prefer to have a system that behaves within the confines of a mathematical formalism with well defined rules then build that model instead.
It is scary for sure. We were heading towards a brave new world even before chatGPT, where what's real was no longer to be taken for granted and you couldn't trust your eyes and ears. ChatGPT has just hastened things. I'm sure a new market will emerge for authentication services that verify the speaker or the person in the video similar to how we had twitter verified checkmark.
On the flip side I can't wait for someone to build a product where I record a few conversations with my parents while they are alive, and then when they're gone, through chatGPT + vocalfakes, I can have a parent forever. Sure, I'll know it's not the real thing, but when you really miss them, it certainly can make the pain a little less.
Along this line of thinking, I try to capture a 20 minute video of random conversation during each family vacation. Just set prop up the camera and record.
When we take trips, I like to record a retrospective. Just things like what did you like/dislike/find interesting. They feel awkward but then they don’t.
This is the thesis of the book “The Vital Question” by Nick Lane. It’s a pretty interesting read. At points the book was slightly beyond my reach in comprehension but I still enjoyed it.
I'm currently reading Thich Nhat Hanh's Peace Is Every Step [0]. In it he says something similar. It's not that worrying is not useful. You need to worry for sustenance, shelter. But a lot of thinking that we as modern humans do is useless. Me going over over on why I didn't get that job, or why did my colleague say or ..., you get the idea. Mindfulness can help with this a bit where if you find yourself caught in a useless thought loop, you can step back and try to figure out if you do have agency, if not, just move on.
This is exactly why I hate it. They can and will lock people into their ecosystem. I see Firefox only losing to features like this. I love the present tab feature and that too is available only on Chrome. Now I’ve starting using chrome for Meet, but FF everywhere else.
Green flame might mean something copper burning that shouldn't be. Based on the size of the explosion it looks like there was still a decent amount of fuel.
The inside of the nozzle uses copper for heat dissipation. There were previous cases of green flames with the Raptor, and Elon said it was copper.
The big question is why it was low on methane - bad calculation in the planned consumption, too methane rich during the ascent?
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".
More likely explanation is that Amazon is using a third-party to provide candidate emails from LinkedIn profiles and using that to do proactive reach outs. That third-party is scraping emails from all sources, including HN and providing that as a service to Big companies. Some recruiter at Amazon decided to do an email blast using some generic query based on keywords and got your profile included. QED.
In the unlikely scenario that we are able to mine it cheaply or at least cheaper than current methods, won’t the cost of those metals go way way down due to the abundant supply, making mining it worth even less?
