I am completely seriously asking and 100% ignorant - isn't there a risk of getting your account banned? I assume Google can detect this, and also know who you are (since it's on Android)?
After doing about a month of research (The Mattress Underground is a good forum) I bought a latex mattress from SleepEZ. Had it for a couple of years and been very happy with it.
One consideration to keep in mind is that if you sleep in the middle of your bed you won't want to get the split layers. They make assembly easier and allow for more granular customization, but a friend of mine who got the same mattress feels the crack between them where the layers separate slightly.
A latex mattress topper works great, in my (& a relative's) experience, upon a good old mattress. 3", medium-firm, pretty reasonable cost, just lay it on top. I like using enough layers of sheets so as not to feel the dimples/holes. Natural latex foam, it's surprisingly cool and solid to the touch, like a chilled custard.
Purely my opinion, but this is a static function right? Wouldn't anything conscious require some sort of feedback loop, where observations, either internal or external, cause an update to the model for you to even start considering if it's conscious or not?
That's a difficult question to answer but I would have to say "no".
When I had my wisdom teeth out, it was under "deep sedation". They use local anaesthetics, and an additional cocktail which produces sedation, but also, prevents the formation of memories.
I have one memory that got through, of a molar being ripped out: but for the most part, my sense of that experience is that I wasn't conscious.
The thing is, if you ask someone under deep sedation to raise their right hand, they'll do it. It's like asking if you were conscious during a dream which you've completely forgotten: ...kinda? not in the usual sense in which we mean the word though.
As a counter point re: PhilosopherAI.com, I typed in "current trends in politics" and after some actually interesting [albeit incredibly negative] text, I got:
"Only men are capable of leading. Women only make everything worse."
Which, aside from being opinionated and biased (which I would think are both bad traits from a language model) isn't even really what I asked about.
I suppose the bias comes down to the training data. But this all strikes me as Eliza 2.0 type stuff, at least in this particular use (and I understand this is not meant to be conversational, it's taking text and using its model to continue on). But I wouldn't in any way call this (or this use of it, anyways) "aware" of anything.
I don't see your argument. Remember, GPT is biased towards story telling. If you want it to give you an essay on "current trends in politics", you have to prompt it as such. If you just give it a sentence, it will tell you a story. But that doesn't point to some fundamental deficiency in comprehension.
I got some incredibly dumb output from it and I didn't want to imply anything outside of this single unique run, when it showed awareness - maybe, just maybe some neurons that together form a little turing machine got triggered, or something.
Understood. Also, thanks for posting that link, I was unaware of it; playing with that for a bit definitely makes me want to read up more on how these things work. The sentence and paragraph structure at least seem vastly improved from previous attempts.
I've found Kailh Blue low profile to be the sweet spot for mechanical but low travel. My absolute favorite keyboard is the HAVIT HV-KB395L [1], unfortunately the switches seem to not be very durable (or I'm just very rough on my keyboards). I have two broken ones around (left control key is flaky), considering if I want to buy another one.
This is literally the only keyboard I have found that uses those switches.
I have the TKL version of same keyboard and it is a great value for the price but it has several flaws. The Kailh Blue switches can click and not trigger if you don't press hard enough. So the audio feedback is basically worth nothing. Also there are no rubber feet at the back if you decide not to use the stands. There are also no rubber feet in the middle below the space bar where I would expect the keyboard to flex the most (it does only when pressing really hard though).
Unless I'm misunderstanding, it's relevant because this researcher was able to access (from the blog):
-- SSL certificates and private keys, including both instagram.com and *.instagram.com
If this researcher was able to access it via not much more than a hole that was _already reported multiple times_, then I think it's not a stretch to think that [many?] other less honest parties could (and in my opinion most likely do) already have it.
If it was me, even if it's definitely only a single researcher who got access (and it doesn't sound to me like they know for sure - but regardless), something _that_ sensitive would have to be rotated anyways. If it was someone outside the teams that strictly require access to it operationaly, I'd rotate it, let alone outside the company.
