Who is the judge of the degree of contextual convolution? Must the LLM remain strictly factual when you simply append "ELI5" to a prompt?

> ELI5 how is France governed? > ...and Macron is the lion, the king of the jungle.

We also know that LLMs don't know the current date, and therefore can make calculation errors (which is made worse by their poor math performance as a language token generator). So on one hand it might say Macron was born December 1st 1977 (which is correct), but if you ask how old he is some LLMs might say 45 years old.

There is an incalculable number of ways for LLMs to output incorrect information. In an effort to comply with strict regulation the preprompt contextual limit is going to be exceeded.

Also this creates a situation where all but the most powerful LLMs (and LLM providers) will be non-complaint

> the GDPR requires information about individuals is accurate

Given that you can make LLMs say pretty much whatever you want using the right prompts, this seems impossible. LLMs are not a search engine, and based on conversational context might say Emmanuel Macron is the president of France or a baby giraffe.

You can make LLMs say pretty much whatever you want with the right prompts. This is a complex issue, and if EU citizens want access to LLMs the GDPR is going to need a different set of rules for LLMs than for websites and search engines.

The current release of the Allen Cell Types Database includes ephys recordings from 1058 mouse and 279 human neurons with a subset including morphology traces and neuronal models.

In a way this reminds me of the neuron cell trace database from the Allen Brain Atlas...

Spotify and the internet as a whole has liberated the music industry from the strangle hold of record companies. And you still can't just upload your songs to Spotify, you need to go through some publishing group. Getting Spotify to pay more per stream is siding with the record companies, and you can be sure they are lobbying hard on behalf of their interests. It's a tricky situation.

I actually think this is helping the product market. This will set a minimal standard of quality for something to get paid. Otherwise the near future will involve the use of AI to automate the creation of thousands of garbage songs that each get streamed a few times.

It does in some circumstances. See apple's app store lawsuit in the EU. However this seems fundamentally different. It's more like youtube (which actually pays far less per stream $.1 - $1 per 1000 streams)

Your process sounds a lot like this new change by Spotify... Anything you don't listen to very much doesn't get paid for.

But Spotify isn't taking anyone's property. Spotify is saying "here's how our payment system works" and then bands can decide whether to put their songs on Spotify.

Same. Anecdotally I discovered khruangbin on spotify and will be seeing their concert next tuesday.

Yeah for some bands, letting people listen to a sample of their music before paying the cover charge might work against them ;)

That's not quite right. If they do reach 1000 plays they will be compensated for the first 1000 plays (which is like $4 dollars), and all streams thereafter.

What would you change about contract legislation to prevent this?

e.g. every pharmaceutical company.

I'm not sure about Dominos, but the last time I ordered Papa Johns, the pizza tracker had a disclaimer that said it was "for entertainment purposes only, and does not reflect actual events"

The problem with that test is people tend to see things differently, and historically this test has been used to justify inhumane treatment to certain races of humans.

In case it isn't obvious, you can tap on any of the figures in the PDF or HTML version to watch the video.

It would be funny to see a bunch of people huddled up in a designated phone-ers area outside a bar in January to satisfy their instagram addiction.

All the various logic gates have been observed in (DNA) gene expression studies - both naturally occurring and bioengineered tools. In particular there are tons of bioengineered tools for inducible gene expression that have all manner of gating mechanisms for precise temporal control of expression (triggered by behavior, environment, drug, elapsed time, etc.).

I've heard the arguments for switching to binary choice (netflix also did a big writeup about it), but I'd still prefer the ability to give a bit more nuance in my rating. It feels weird giving a movie that is okay and a movie that is excellent the same rating.

Rotten Tomatoes goes further to emphasize the "love it or hate it" dichotomy - they display a ripe red tomato for a movie with a rating of 60 and a splattered green tomato for a movie with a score of 59.

It seems like a more fundamental phenomenon would be the ability to self replicate. I imagine some organic compounds forming a primitive vesicle in a relatively calm lagoon. As the vesicle collects more organics it gets too large and eventually blebs off a small vesicle (primordial fission). The heartiest vesicles that can replicate fastest tend to survive the longest and produce the most copies. Evolution takes it from there.

I'm not sure what you are implying. The nature of the work described above was to prevent a disaster like the shooting down of commercial Flight 655 from ever happening again.

Indeed it is!

I'm fine with our name being mentioned. I didn't include it above because our website is trash, which doesn't bode well for a company with professional graphics designers and human factors engineers on staff haha.

Indeed a seminal work. Don is also at UCSD, and is a founder of the UCSD Design Lab.

Interesting to see this on HN. I currently work for the company that redesigned the HMI/UI following this incident. Or rather, it's how my company was founded. In the aftermath, the US Navy Command in San Diego contacted several UCSD professors in the Cognitive Science and Psychology department who specialized in high-impact decision making under stress and cognitive load. The Navy was apparently impressed with the detailed analysis and recs provided by these faculty and continued to collaborate with these folks on this an other projects. Eventually they were getting so much work from the Navy they founded a company focused on human factors engineering and interface design for complex systems.

The two original founders recently retired and our new CEO is a former Captain of the USS Zumwalt.

As they say, the devil is in the details. I'm interested in reading the actual clinical trial whenever it gets published. In particular I'm curious about this so-called "accelerated aging model", and whether this drug actually extended lifespans or are claims based solely on owner and vet reported health observations...

> Our interventional studies with LOY-001 showed that the drug improved clinically-relevant aging parameters. We assessed these in laboratory studies using a dog model that represents accelerated aging. We then correlated those results with quality of life scores in the observational study, as independently measured by dog owners, and health outcomes as measured by veterinarians. This was key to show that the biological benefits of the drug are linked to clinically relevant outcomes.

Confirmation tones are used to convey that the car registered a deliberate user action (e.g. a button press). For example whenever you press the unlock button on your key fob, it would quickly become annoying if the car announced "The car is now locked". In the case of confirmation, you know what the tone is signaling, because you just performed the action to create the tone (and don't need a lecture about it).

Mildly abrasive 'alert' tones are preferred for warnings over announcements because alerts typically require immediate action. You could follow the alert tone by an announcement but this is typically unnecessary because the the first time you hear it, the tone will be seared into your memory (e.g. you are messing with the radio and suddenly hear the lane departure warning or forward collision warning). And you really don't need to distinguish between them - they all basically mean "immediately allocate all cognitive resources towards driving this death machine safely".

It seems like this used to be what the MSM would bring in experts to comment on complex issues in economics, foreign politics, history, health, science, technology, etc. before each station developed a significant bias due to top-down pressure from ownership or bottom up pressure to push narratives that paralleled the politics of their predominant viewership. Then it was public programming like NPR and PBS. But now almost every outlet finds partisan experts. It would be great if there were a truly neutral non-political source of expert commentary. But how can such an outlet sustain neutrality being subject to those same evolutionary pressures?

HN is honestly doing a great job of this, but is a very different format than planned programming.

Perhaps the key is to watch both sides and formulate your own opinion. Maybe it's better to know the biases outright than to rely on someone else to find neutral viewpoints. Of course the problem with that is, a huge amount of the population has no interest in hearing multiple perspectives, and only wants the 'home teams' talking points.
