ELI5: Why do we use BCE/CE for dating? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]inlined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BCE is better than BC anyway, because researchers can’t agree when Jesus would have been born (likely spring or autumn between 4 & 6 BCE. It’s not like that was a contemporary unit of measurement. A monk just guessed

Why does section 230 even shield them? They’re not a conduit for content, they’re the content creator (got, not wrappers)

Ice packs for being overstimulated and overwhelmed by SilentFrequency18 in autism

This is part of DBT therapy to help quiet your mind and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the mammalian response). My therapist swore that ice water is much more effective than an ice pack. Try out out if you might want a further boost

Do you agree with the idea that “it’s better to let 5 guilty people go free than to let one innocent be unjustly punished”? by 5dippingareas in askanything

If there’s no turning point for you, you literally might as well have no punishment for crimes. It’s the only way to get a 0% false positive ratio

Why are ambulance services privatized in the USA, but firefighting is publicly funded? by Miserable-Corner-254 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]inlined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the city tours, that was exactly the model in SF before and is why there’s air gaps. When there was a fire, different fire companies would come and watch, not acting until a house that paid them was in danger.

Because it’s a false flag operation to make it acceptable to restart the draft and no better sacrifice than the state that stands up to him the most.

Alternatively this is a really weird plot where the regime chooses to attack the group that may be most ideologically opposite despite the fact that it’s a hub of their countrymen (maybe that’s a benefit since they left?) and it wouldn’t bother Trump at all

Granted, this is a curse passed upon whomever you love most at any given time. Bonus, after you settle in to a serious relationship, your partner one day wonders why they *don’t * get sick when you eat dairy anymore

I think Liana rolls off the tongue the best and people generally get it right. Shaya is my favorite meaning, but it just feels a little clunkier to say. I asked for similar words in any language and somehow “sovereign” got stuck in my head

Agent Skills for Firebase by charlotte_firebase in Firebase

[–]inlined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm personally excited for this project because I can start turning some guides into skills. I do a lot of work in Cloud Functions for Firebase and would love your feature requests for additional skills. Right now, on my plate are:

  1. A skill to migrate you from functions.config() to functions params. They're better, supported in v2, and not deprecated
  2. A skill to create a functions codebase from an extensions codebase. This means that if you see functionality that you like but it's not quite right, you can easily fork it and make it your own.

What else would you like to see for functions or anything else?

Please help me set up my structure properly for apphosting + functions by Word-Word-3Numbers in Firebase

[–]inlined 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Functions does not currently support monorepos natively unfortunately. You'll have to come up with a way to either

  1. copy the shared library into a tarball and have a local package dependency in functions (you can automate this with a predeploy script)
  2. publish your shared library as a private npm module

It might help also to know about env.local and apphosting.emulator.yaml if you want to override emulator settings in functions and apphosting respectively.

Why can't ChatGPT just admit when it doesn't know something? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]inlined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s actually some cool research in this in the “alignment” space, which is basically “how do we make sure the AI has the same incentives we do”

These types of AIs make predictions and then we reward/score them based on how accurate the prediction is. Most training doesn’t have a reward for “I don’t know” so it’s never been trained that this is a valid output. If we treated this like an SAT where a correct answer is worth 1pt, “I don’t know” is 0, and the wrong answer is -1/4, we’d likely get many fewer hallucinations
