Done.
habryka4 on Open Thread Spring 2024Only the authors (and admins) can do it.
If you paste some images here that seem good to you, I can edit them unilaterally, and will message the authors to tell them I did that.

dzoldzaya on Which skincare products are evidence-based?Of course, but there reaches a level of sun exposure at which the marginal increased harm becomes negligible compared to other things that damage your skin (see this meta-analysis - photo-aging is just one component among many), and below that level you're probably actually getting suboptimal levels of UV exposure for skin health (see this article for benefits of UV - from Norway, aptly).
I'd love to see someone try to measure and compare the specific trade-offs, but I strongly suspect that people at northern latitudes should just trust common sense - only wear sunscreen in summer months, and when you're actually exposed to the sun for extended periods.

A challenge posed on Twitter recently has interesting similarities with this effort (although it focused on in-context learning rather than fine-tuning):

A::B Prompting Challenge: $10k to prove me wrong!
# CHALLENGE Develop an AI prompt that solves random 12-token instances of the A::B problem (defined in the quoted tweet), with 90%+ success rate.
# RULES 1. The AI will be given a random instance, inside a <problem/> tag. 2. The AI must end its answer with the correct <solution/>. 3. The AI can use up to 32K tokens to work on the problem. 4. You can choose any public model. 5. Any prompting technique is allowed. 6. Keep it fun! No toxicity, spam or harassment.
Details of what the problem is in this screenshot.
Lots of people seem to have worked on it, & the price was ultimately claimed within 24 hours.
parker-conley on The Best Tacit Knowledge Videos on Every SubjectUpdates Thread. Below are ~monthly updates with lists of new tacit knowledge videos so you don't have to scroll through the list again to find new videos.

Survival vs self-expression: Survival values prioritize security over liberty. Those with survival values tend to be more homophobic, uninterested in political action, distrustful of outsiders, and less happy. As people transition from industrial to knowledge societies, their sense of agency increases and they move towards self-expression values.
To me, the empiric status of that claim feels quite unclear. Is that your personal opinion? Is it a general pattern for which there's existing data?
You are a scholar and a gentleman.
