Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and other functions. While it is often referred to as the “happiness hormone,” its relationship with happiness is complex. Increased levels of serotonin can contribute to an overall sense of well-being, but it is not the sole determinant of happiness.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter associated with the brain’s reward and pleasure systems. It plays a role in motivating and reinforcing behaviors that lead to positive experiences. Although dopamine is not responsible for happiness per se, it contributes to the sensation of pleasure and drives us to seek rewarding experiences that can make us feel happy.
Vitamin D has been linked to various aspects of physical and mental health, including mood regulation. Some studies have found that low levels of vitamin D can be associated with depression and mood disorders. While vitamin D alone does not guarantee happiness, maintaining adequate levels may contribute to improved mood and overall well-being.
Smiling has been shown to have a positive effect on one’s mood and can even make others around you feel happier. The act of smiling activates neural pathways associated with happiness and triggers the release of endorphins, which can contribute to a more positive mood. While smiling is not a cure-all for unhappiness, it can be a simple way to boost your mood.
Money can influence happiness to a certain extent, particularly when it comes to meeting basic needs and achieving financial security. However, studies have shown that the relationship between money and happiness plateaus at a certain point, with additional wealth providing diminishing returns on happiness. Moreover, factors such as relationships, personal fulfillment, and overall well-being play significant roles in determining happiness, beyond the impact of money.
Regaining happiness after experiencing sadness or difficult times involves adopting positive habits and practicing self-care. Techniques such as setting realistic goals, cultivating gratitude, connecting with others, and seeking professional help if necessary can help individuals find happiness and emotional balance once more.
Being happy alone requires embracing solitude and finding ways to enjoy your own company. Activities such as pursuing hobbies, engaging in self-reflection, setting personal goals, and focusing on self-improvement can help individuals find contentment and happiness even when they are alone.
Being happy with oneself involves cultivating self-acceptance, self-compassion, and a positive self-image. Strategies such as setting realistic expectations, focusing on strengths, practicing self-care, and seeking support from others can help individuals develop a greater sense of self-worth and happiness.
Achieving happiness in life involves practicing positive habits, maintaining healthy relationships, and focusing on personal growth. Steps such as fostering gratitude, prioritizing experiences over material possessions, pursuing goals with meaning, and nurturing social connections can contribute to a more fulfilling and happy life.
Being happy while single involves embracing the freedom and independence that comes with this stage of life. Individuals can focus on personal growth, pursue their passions, build strong friendships, and develop a deeper understanding of their own needs and desires. Cultivating self-love and self-sufficiency can help individuals find happiness and contentment while single.

You may face penalties, interest on unpaid taxes, and potentially even criminal charges if you fail to file your taxes. The IRS may also file a substitute return on your behalf, which may not account for all deductions and credits you’re entitled to.
What happens if you file taxes late?
You may be subject to late-filing penalties and interest charges on any unpaid tax balance. The longer you delay, the higher the penalties and interest can become. However, if you are owed a refund, there’s typically no penalty for filing late.

Disclaimer: The author (Robert Love) work for Google on web search but the following is based on the publicly-available PageRank paper.
The damping (not dampening) factor is not the reason that the PageRank algorithm doesn’t iterate forever. The damping factor prevents the PageRank of pages from converging at either 0.0 or 1.0, i.e either zero or inevitable probability. A better name would have been decay, as it slowly decays the PageRank that pages transfer.
I believe this question is asking why the algorithm ever terminates. That is, as it follows links and applies PageRank on successive iterations of the algorithm, how does it know to stop? Why doesn’t it iterate forever, in an infinite loop?
The reason is that the iterative algorithm checks for and stops on convergence. In English, the algorithm checks to see if an iteration significantly altered the PageRank of any pages. You’d expect that after lots of iterations that the algorithm would reach a “steady state” where the PageRank of all the pages in the indexed converged. Once that happens, the algorithm terminates.
Here’s the answer in that language of love, mathematics:
How does PageRank avoid an infinite loop?
In other words, the algorithm stops iterating when convergence is reached.
Follow-up question – Are there pathological nontrivial graphs where PageRank can fluctuate or oscillate between nodes, or groups of nodes, to make convergence difficult?
Yes, this can happen from time to time. That’s why convergence is only satisfied under this theorem:

What is trending in March 2023 (Trick): How to factory reset a Samsung device that has a completely smashed screen. Might work for non Samsung devices.
We’re going to use the android talkback feature + an external keyboard to HEAR what your inputting.
My situation: I have my ex’s android note 10 lite with a completely smashed screen that she allowed me to keep before we broke up. Now I wanna sell it, I cant with her data on it (I don’t know what pictures of me are still on there).
The screen only shows black, and touch inputs don’t work. Every forum post says that it’s impossible to factory reset it, but I found a way so thought I’d post it here. It uses the android talkback function.
We assume that android developer options are turned off so you cant blindly hold buttons to get to the boot screen. You cant connect to PC because of whatever reason. We also assume that you know the pin number at very least.
First a quick solution that might work:
A few posts suggested using a usb c to hdmi converter and just plugging it into your tv so you can see the screen. I don’t have one of these, so I have no idea if that works. You’ll probably need a usb c splitter, then a usb c to usb a converter to plug in a keyboard so you can control the phone.
If it works for you, you can stop here. No need for talkback. You can now see your screen and control your phone.
If not: First find a YouTube video that teaches how to factory reset your device. This is simply so you can get an idea of what each screen looks like, while combining that visual data with the audio data your phone will give you.
1) From your lock screen you can hold down the two volume buttons for 3 seconds to turn on “talkback”. Android will dictate all of your actions from this point onwards. So you can hear where you are in your phone.
2) Plug in a USB C to USB A converter so you can use a keyboard. Plug in keyboard…
3) Then Press the lock button on the phone and type in your pin/password. When the phone unlocks, press Alt+A to enter the apps screen of android.
4) Press up the up arrow key to enter the search area.
Continue below
5) Press the left arrow key to enter the search box. Then press enter. She will tell you that your keyboard has popped up. Ignore it, its just an indicator that you’re on the right track.
6) Type factory and wait for a couple of seconds for the search results to populate.
7) Use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to find “Factory data reset”. Be sure to not choose the internet search result if your phone pops one up. Scroll up and down for a bit while referencing the YouTube video to get an idea of where you are.
8) Listen to what she’s saying as you go through the various options to get to the factory data reset. Cross reference with YouTube video to ensure you’re on the right track.
9) When you finally find the setting, it will ask you to input your pin. Type it in and press enter. Then after a bit more navigation it will ask you to input your Samsung password. Type this in and press enter. (For those that don’t know the password, like me, keep reading).
Continue below
10) There might be a few more options, so YMMV. I couldn’t get past this bit. Congrats. Your phone is factory reset.
11) If you screw up at any point (which you likely will because this is pretty fiddly) then just hammer the escape button a few times and start again.
If for some reason you cant get the factory data reset to work, if it asks for a Samsung password that you don’t remember, there’s an option called “Auto Factory Data reset”.
This sets up your phone so that if someone submits the pin code wrong 15 times, it will factory reset your phone. This is what I had to use because although my ex and I shared pin codes, I had no reason to ever know her Samsung password.
Find a YouTube video that shows how to turn on AUTO factory reset
Follow the steps above, until…
6) Type Auto Factory
7) Use the up and down arrow keys to find the auto factory reset option.
8) Confirm your pin code and press enter. This will allow you into this settings menu.
9) Use the down key until she says “Auto Factory Reset…[and a load of small print]”
10) Press enter. She will say “Auto Factory Reset On”
11) Lock your phone.
12) Get your pin number wrong 15 times.
13) When you get to about 10 attempts, she starts making you wait 30 seconds between each attempt. Eventually you will get there and your phone will nuke itself.
So there you go. I just had to do this, and thought I would share it with you folks.
The main takeaway from this post is to use the talkback feature! Im sure this feature is good for loads of other stuff too if you have the patience.

The origin of the name “Oscar” for the Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, is not entirely clear, but there are several theories about its origin.
One popular theory is that Bette Davis named the award after her first husband, Harmon Oscar Nelson. However, this theory has been debunked, as the name “Oscar” was used in reference to the award before Davis won her first Oscar in 1935.
Another theory is that the Academy’s executive secretary, Margaret Herrick, named the award after her uncle Oscar Pierce, who apparently had a similar physique to the Oscar statuette. When Herrick saw the statuette for the first time, she reportedly exclaimed, “It looks just like my Uncle Oscar!”
Yet another theory suggests that the name “Oscar” simply came from the Academy’s librarian, Margaret Herrick, who saw the statuette and said that it resembled her uncle Oscar.
While the true origin of the name “Oscar” remains a bit of a mystery, it is clear that the name has become synonymous with the prestigious film industry award that recognizes excellence in filmmaking.
What channel are the oscars on?
The channel that broadcasts the Oscars ceremony may vary depending on your location and cable or satellite provider. However, in the United States, the Oscars are typically broadcast on the ABC network. You can check your local listings to find out the exact channel number for ABC in your area. Additionally, the Oscars may also be available for live streaming on the ABC website or through streaming services that offer ABC as part of their channel lineup.
What does Annual Midpoint refers to regarding Salaries for employees?
The annual midpoint in salary refers to the exact middle point of the salary range for a particular position or job, typically expressed as an annual salary. This midpoint represents the salary that an individual in the position with an average level of experience, skills, and qualifications can expect to receive.
For example, if the salary range for a specific job is $50,000 to $70,000 per year, the annual midpoint would be $60,000. This means that an employee with average skills and experience for that position would typically earn around $60,000 per year.
What means restricted share units in salary?
Restricted Share Units (RSUs) are a form of compensation that some companies offer to their employees as part of their salary package. RSUs are essentially units of company stock that are awarded to employees as a form of compensation, with certain restrictions placed on them.
When an employee receives RSUs, they do not actually own the underlying stock until the restrictions placed on the units are lifted. The restrictions may be based on a specific time period, such as a vesting schedule, or they may be tied to certain performance metrics that the employee must meet.

How cold does it have to be to snow?
The temperature at which snow forms depends on several factors, including humidity and atmospheric pressure. However, as a general rule of thumb, snow can form when the air temperature is at or below freezing (0°C or 32°F).
In order for snow to form, moisture must first be present in the atmosphere in the form of water vapor. When the temperature drops, the water vapor condenses into ice crystals. If the temperature is below freezing all the way down to the ground, these ice crystals will remain frozen and fall as snow.
It’s worth noting that snow can still occur at temperatures slightly above freezing if the air is very dry or if the snowflakes encounter colder air as they fall. However, the likelihood of snow decreases as the temperature rises above freezing.

Google uses hundreds of different factors to determine where a page appears in its SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). These factors range from user experience metrics such as page speed and mobile-friendliness, to content quality indicators such as topic relevance and keyword usage. In order to optimize your blog for the 2023 algorithm update, you must consider all of these ranking factors when structuring your blog posts.
Optimizing Your Blog for Google’s 2023 Algorithm: Google Search Engine Tech Stack
Content Quality
Content quality is one of the most important ranking factors in any given algorithm update. Google wants to ensure that searchers find relevant, accurate information when they perform a query – so it’s important that you create content with this goal in mind. When crafting blog posts, focus on providing useful information instead of just “filler” content; this will help you rank higher in Google’s search results. Additionally, make sure that you use keywords throughout your post; doing so will make it easier for Google to identify what the content is about and rank it accordingly.
User Experience Metrics
Google also takes user experience metrics into account when determining rankings. This means that if your website takes too long to load or isn’t mobile-friendly, then it won’t rank as highly as other pages with better user experience metrics. Make sure that your website is optimized for both desktop and mobile devices; this will improve page load times and make it easier for readers to access your content on their preferred device. Additionally, utilize caching techniques to reduce server response time and ensure that visitors have a pleasant browsing experience on your site.
Research Before Writing
No matter what kind of content you’re creating, research is key. Before writing a blog post, make sure that you have done thorough research on the topic and its related keywords. This will help you create content that is relevant and accurate. Additionally, it’s important to do regular keyword audits and track how often certain terms are being used in order to ensure that your content remains up-to-date with current trends.
Optimize Your Content
It’s not enough just to write great content; you also need to make sure that it’s properly optimized for search engines like Google. That means using appropriate keywords in key places (title tags, meta descriptions, headings) and making sure that all of your content is well-structured and easy-to-read. Additionally, optimizing images and videos will help your website load faster which can improve user experience—something Google values highly when ranking websites.
Stay Updated on SEO Best Practices
Google regularly updates their algorithms in order to deliver better search results for users—which means SEO best practices are constantly changing as well. To stay ahead of the curve and ensure that your blog remains visible online, pay close attention to any changes or updates in SEO best practices for 2023. Read industry blogs and newsletters or talk with experts about what techniques might be most effective this year. By staying informed about these changes, you can make sure that your blog remains compliant with Google’s algorithm throughout the year.
How to structure a blog to be compliant with Google latest search algorithm in 2023?
To structure a blog that is compliant with Google’s latest search algorithm, you should focus on the following:
Use keywords in your content that are relevant to your topic and are commonly searched by your target audience.
Optimize your blog’s title, meta description, and headings (H1, H2, etc.) to include your keywords and provide a clear and concise summary of your content.
Use internal linking to connect your blog post to other relevant content on your website, and external linking to credible sources to show that your content is well-researched.
Use images and videos to break up text and make your content more visually appealing. Be sure to optimize them with descriptive file names and alt tags that include keywords.
Optimize your website for mobile devices and ensure it loads quickly.
Use structured data markups to help search engines understand what your content is about and how to display it in search results.
Make sure your blog is easy to navigate and has a clear hierarchy of information.
Publish high-quality, original content on a regular basis.
Use Google Search Console to submit your sitemap and monitor your website’s performance on Google search.
Keep an eye on Google’s webmaster guidelines and updates to their algorithm to stay compliant and improve your website’s visibility on search engine.

In what ways have Google’s algorithm updates impacted organic SEO strategies over time?
Google’s algorithm updates have had a significant impact on organic SEO strategies over time. Some of the key ways that these updates have affected SEO include:
Prioritizing mobile-friendly websites: With the increase in mobile usage, Google has placed a greater emphasis on websites that are optimized for mobile devices. This means that if a website is not mobile-friendly, it may be penalized in search rankings.
Focusing on quality content: Google’s algorithm updates have placed a greater emphasis on high-quality, relevant, and unique content. Websites with thin or low-quality content may be penalized in search rankings.
Valuing backlinks: Backlinks, or links from other websites to a particular website, have traditionally been a key factor in determining a website’s search ranking. However, Google’s algorithm updates have placed more emphasis on the quality of backlinks, rather than the quantity.
Using secure connections: Google has also begun to favor websites that use secure connections (HTTPS) over those that use unsecured connections (HTTP).
Using structured data (schema markups) : Google has been using structured data (schema markups) to understand the context of the webpage and to show rich snippets in SERPs.
It is important to note that Google’s algorithm updates are ongoing, and SEO strategies will need to adapt to these changes in order to be successful.
How has Google’s latest algorithmic updates changed the landscape of SEO best practices?
Google’s latest algorithmic updates have shifted the focus of SEO best practices towards creating a more user-centric experience. Some of the ways in which these updates have changed the landscape of SEO include:
Prioritizing user experience: Google’s algorithm updates have placed greater emphasis on factors that contribute to a positive user experience, such as website speed, mobile-friendliness, and accessibility. This means that websites that provide a good user experience are likely to rank higher in search results.
Focusing on quality content: Google’s updates have also emphasized the importance of high-quality, relevant, and unique content. Websites with thin or low-quality content may be penalized in search rankings.
Valuing natural language and user intent: Google’s updates have also placed more emphasis on natural language and user intent. This means that content that is written in a way that is easy to understand, and that is tailored to the specific needs and interests of the user, is more likely to rank well.
Emphasizing the importance of technical SEO: Google’s updates have also made it more important than ever to ensure that your website is technically sound. This includes things like using structured data, optimizing page speed, and making sure your website is mobile-friendly.
Focusing on local SEO: Google’s updates have also placed more emphasis on local SEO. This means that businesses that want to rank well in local search results need to ensure that they have accurate and up-to-date information on their Google My Business listing and that they have a strong presence on local review sites.
It is important to note that Google’s algorithm updates are ongoing and SEO best practices are also evolving constantly, so keeping up with the latest trends and changes is crucial for SEO success.
How does Google Panda update affect on-page content and how could it be optimized for better performance?
Google’s Panda update is a algorithm that was first released in 2011 and is designed to lower the rank of low-quality or “thin” websites while promoting high-quality content. It particularly looks at the quality of the on-page content, and the user engagement metrics.
To optimize for better performance with Panda, your on-page content should:
Be high-quality, informative, and useful for the user
Be original and not duplicated from other sources
Be well-written and free of grammatical errors
Include keywords that are relevant to the topic of the page
Provide a good user experience, with a clear and easy-to-use layout
Be of sufficient length, with at least 300 words of content per page
Be regularly updated with fresh, relevant content
Have engagement signals like comments, social shares and time spent on site.
Additionally, you should avoid:
Creating content that is thin or low-quality
Duplicating content from other websites
Using keyword stuffing tactics
Creating pages with little or no content
Creating pages with a lot of ads and not enough content
Creating pages with a lot of low-quality user-generated content
By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your website is providing high-quality content that will be well-received by both users and the Panda algorithm.
How can A/B testing be effectively used to improve content’s performance on a SERP (Search Engine Results Page)?
A/B testing, also known as split testing, is a method of comparing two versions of a webpage or other content to see which one performs better. It can be effectively used to improve content’s performance on a search engine results page (SERP) by allowing you to make data-driven decisions about how to optimize your content for better visibility and engagement.
Here are a few ways you can use A/B testing to improve your content’s performance on SERP:
Test different headlines: A/B test different headlines for your content to see which one is more likely to attract clicks from users.
Test different meta descriptions: A/B test different meta descriptions to see which one is more likely to be clicked on by users.
Test different content layouts: A/B test different layouts for your content to see which one is more likely to be engaged with by users.
Test different images and videos: A/B test different images and videos to see which one is more likely to be engaged with by users.
Test different calls to action: A/B test different calls to action to see which one is more likely to be clicked on by users.
Test different keywords: A/B test different keywords to see which one is more likely to be clicked on by users.
It’s important to note that A/B testing should be used as part of a comprehensive optimization strategy, not as a standalone method. Also, it’s essential to have a significant amount of data to make a decision and make sure to test one variable at a time to ensure the results are meaningful.
By using A/B testing to optimize your content, you can make data-driven decisions about how to improve your content’s visibility and engagement on SERP.
The upcoming 2023 algorithm update could have drastic consequences on the way search engine results are ranked – so it’s important to make sure that your blog is properly optimized beforehand.

What challenges remain in advancing the safety and privacy features of Google Images?
There are several challenges that remain in advancing the safety and privacy features of Google Images:
Identifying and removing inappropriate content: Identifying and removing inappropriate content, such as child sexual abuse material, remains a major challenge for Google Images. Despite the use of machine learning algorithms and human moderators, it can be difficult to accurately identify and remove all inappropriate content.
Protecting personal privacy: Protecting the privacy of individuals whose images appear on Google Images is also a challenge. Google has implemented features such as “SafeSearch” to help users filter out explicit content, but there remains a risk that sensitive personal information could be exposed through reverse image searches.
Dealing with misinformation: Google Images is also facing challenges in dealing with misinformation, as false or misleading information can be spread through images.
Balancing user’s rights with copyright infringement: Balancing the rights of users to access and share information with the rights of copyright holders to protect their work is a challenging issue for Google Images. Google has implemented a copyright removal process, but it can be difficult to effectively enforce copyright infringement on a large scale.
Addressing the issue of deepfakes: With the advent of deepfakes, images can be manipulated and deepfake images can be difficult to detect, this is a new challenge for Google Images to address.
Addressing the needs of visually impaired: Making sure that the images in Google Images are accessible to the visually impaired is another important challenge for Google.
Google continue to invest in developing technology and policies to address these challenges and to ensure the safety and privacy of users on their platform. However, given the scale and complexity of these issues, it is likely that challenges will continue to arise in the future.

A general rule of thumb is that your monthly housing expenses should not exceed 30% of your gross monthly income.

However, this is just a guideline and you should consider your individual financial situation and needs when determining how much you can afford to spend on rent.
How much mortgage can I afford? The amount of mortgage you can afford depends on several factors, including your income, monthly debts, credit score, and down payment.

It is always advisable to also consider your monthly expenses, such as food, transportation, and other bills, when determining your budget for housing expenses.

Determine your monthly net income: Subtract your monthly expenses from your monthly income, including taxes, insurance, and other deductions.

Consider other expenses: Don’t forget to factor in utilities, transportation costs, and other monthly expenses when determining how much rent you can afford.
Set a budget: Based on your DTI and monthly expenses, set a budget for your monthly rent payment. A good rule of thumb is to spend no more than 30% of your monthly net income on housing.

Top “birth rate in” searches, past week, worldwide:
Birth rate in India: The birth rate in India is currently around 20 births per 1,000 people. However, this rate has been decreasing in recent years due to factors such as increased access to education and family planning resources.
Birth rate in US: The birth rate in the United States has been on a decline in recent years. In 2020, the birth rate in the United States was 13.5 births per 1,000 total population, which is the lowest it has been in the country’s history. This decline in the birth rate can be attributed to a variety of factors, including economic uncertainty, delays in starting families, and changes in cultural attitudes towards having children.
Birth rate in Japan: The birth rate in Japan has been declining for several decades. In 2020, the birth rate in Japan was 7.9 births per 1,000 population. This is significantly lower than the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman, which is the number of children needed to maintain a stable population. Factors contributing to the low birth rate in Japan include a lack of affordable childcare, a lack of support for working mothers, and a cultural preference for small families.
Birth rate in China: The birth rate in China has been decreasing in recent years due to the country’s one-child policy and increasing urbanization. The policy, which was implemented in 1979 and officially ended in 2015, limited most urban couples to one child and many rural couples to two children. As a result, the birth rate in China has been below the replacement level for some time. However, the Chinese government has recently loosened its population control policies, allowing couples to have two children. But the decrease in birth rate remains a concern.
Birth rate in Canada: The birth rate in Canada is around 10 births per 1,000 people. This is considered a low birth rate compared to other countries. Factors that contribute to this include access to birth control and family planning, as well as economic and social factors such as the high cost of raising children and women’s increasing participation in the workforce.

Eat a balanced diet: Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins in your diet. Avoid processed foods and added sugars, which can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria.
Take probiotics: Probiotics are live microorganisms that can help to maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria. They can be found in supplements, fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi, and in some non-fermented foods like pickles.
Consume prebiotics: Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that act as food for probiotics. They can be found in foods such as bananas, onions, garlic, leeks, asparagus, and oats.
Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water can help to keep your digestion regular and prevent constipation.
Exercise regularly: Physical activity can help to stimulate the movement of food through the gut, promoting healthy digestion.
Manage stress: Chronic stress can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria and contribute to digestive issues. Find ways to manage stress, such as through exercise, yoga, or meditation.
Avoid antibiotics: Antibiotics can kill off both bad and good bacteria in the gut, disrupting the balance of gut microbiome. Be sure to only take antibiotics when it is necessary and as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Do probiotics Stop diarrhea? Probiotics have been shown to be effective in reducing the duration and severity of diarrhea caused by certain types of infections, such as those caused by bacteria or viruses. However, it’s important to note that probiotics are not effective for all types of diarrhea, such as that caused by certain medications or underlying medical conditions. It’s also important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking probiotics, especially if you have a weakened immune system or a chronic medical condition.
Do probiotics Cause acne? There is currently limited scientific evidence to support the claim that probiotics cause acne. While some studies have suggested a possible link between probiotics and acne, the results are not conclusive and more research is needed to determine a definitive cause-and-effect relationship. It’s also important to note that individual factors, such as diet, genetics, and skin care regimen, can also play a role in the development of acne. That being said, if you have a history of acne and are considering taking probiotics, it may be a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider or a dermatologist first.
Do probiotics Help with infections? Probiotics have been shown to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of certain types of infections, particularly those that affect the digestive tract. For example, probiotics may help to prevent and treat diarrhea caused by bacterial or viral infections. They may also help to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, and can improve symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. Probiotics may also help to improve the balance of the gut microbiome which can help to boost the immune system and decrease the chance of infection. However, it’s important to note that probiotics are not effective for all types of infections, and it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider before taking probiotics, especially if you are currently experiencing an infection or have a weakened immune system.
Do probiotics Cause bloating? Probiotics have been known to cause bloating and gas in some people, especially when they first start taking them. This is because probiotics may increase the production of gas in the gut as they ferment undigested food. However, these side effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few days to a week. It’s also worth noting that some people may be more sensitive to certain strains of probiotics than others, so it may be helpful to try different types of probiotics to see which one works best for you. If you are experiencing severe or persistent bloating, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out other underlying causes.
Do probiotics Help acne? There is some evidence that suggests that probiotics may help to improve acne by regulating the balance of bacteria in the gut and reducing inflammation. Studies have shown that people with acne tend to have a less diverse gut microbiome compared to those without acne. By taking probiotics, it can help to restore the balance of gut bacteria and reduce inflammation which can help to improve acne symptoms. However, it’s important to note that research in this area is still ongoing and more studies are needed to fully understand the relationship between probiotics and acne. Also, it’s worth noting that probiotics may work differently for different people, what works for one person may not work for another, so it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any new supplement.

However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of collagen for gut health.
Does Kefir help gut health?
Kefir is a fermented milk drink that has been traditionally used in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It is made by fermenting milk with kefir grains, which are a combination of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. Due to the fermentation process, Kefir is a probiotic-rich food, which means it contains beneficial microorganisms that can help to promote a healthy gut.
Research has shown that consuming kefir can help to improve the balance of gut bacteria, which can in turn improve gut health and boost the immune system. It has been found to help with diarrhea, constipation, IBS, and other digestive issues. It also has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce gut inflammation.
It’s worth noting that kefir is generally well tolerated, but as with any food, some people may be allergic or intolerant to the milk used to make it.
Does Magnesium help gut health?
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, and the regulation of the heart’s rhythm. Some studies suggest that magnesium may also play a role in supporting gut health.
Magnesium has been found to have a relaxing effect on the muscles of the gut, which can help to ease symptoms of constipation and diarrhea. It also plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the gut lining, which can help to prevent leaky gut syndrome and other gut-related issues. Additionally, magnesium can help to regulate the activity of the immune system, which can help to reduce inflammation in the gut.
However, It is worth noting that not all forms of magnesium are easily absorbed by the body, and people with gut issues or malabsorption may have trouble getting enough magnesium from food or supplements.
It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.
Does Apple cider vinegar help gut health?
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a popular natural remedy that is claimed to have many health benefits, including supporting gut health. ACV is made by fermenting apples, which gives it many of the same properties as other fermented foods, such as kefir.
Some research suggests that consuming ACV may help to improve the balance of gut bacteria, which can in turn improve gut health. It may also help to reduce inflammation in the gut, which can be beneficial for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or other gut issues.
ACV may also help to ease symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, and it has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce gut inflammation.
It’s worth noting that while ACV is generally considered safe, consuming too much of it can be harmful and lead to side effects such as throat burns, nausea, and tooth erosion. It’s best to consume it in moderate amounts and dilute it with water before consuming it.
It is also important to note that while there is some research suggesting that ACV may have health benefits, more research is needed to fully understand its effects on gut health, and it should not be used as a substitute for any medical treatment or medication.
Does Coconut oil help gut health?
Coconut oil is a popular natural remedy that is claimed to have many health benefits, including supporting gut health.
Coconut oil is high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are a type of saturated fat that is easily digested and absorbed by the body. MCTs have been found to have a beneficial effect on gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can improve the balance of gut bacteria.
Coconut oil has also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce inflammation in the gut, which is beneficial for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or other gut issues.
Additionally, Coconut oil has also been found to have a beneficial effect on the digestive system. It can help to ease symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, and it can also help to improve gut motility, which is the ability of the gut to move food through the digestive tract.
However, it’s worth noting that not all the research on coconut oil’s effects on gut health are conclusive, and more research is needed to fully understand its effects. Also, people who are sensitive to coconut oil or have a history of allergies should be cautious when consuming it, and it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.

Top trending questions on fungus, past week, US
Can fungi control humans? No, fungi cannot control humans. Fungi are a type of organism that belong to the kingdom of fungi and include species such as yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. While some fungi can cause infections in humans, they do not have the ability to control or manipulate human behavior.
Can fungus take over your body?
While it is possible for certain types of fungus to infect and cause damage to the body, it is highly unlikely for a fungus to completely take over the body. The human body has a number of mechanisms in place to prevent the overgrowth of fungus, including the immune system, which helps to fight off infection.
Fungal infections can occur in various parts of the body such as the skin, nails, hair, and the respiratory, urinary and gastrointestinal tracts. Some fungal infections are limited to certain areas of the body and are treated with topical or oral antifungal medications, however, some fungal infections can be invasive and can affect internal organs and systems, causing serious illness.
Examples of invasive fungal infections include candidemia (a bloodstream infection caused by Candida), aspergillosis (caused by Aspergillus), and mucormycosis (caused by Mucor and Rhizopus) which can affect people with weakened immune systems. These types of fungal infections are usually treated with antifungal drugs and may require hospitalization.
It’s important to keep in mind that fungal infections are not contagious, they are usually caused by the overgrowth of already present fungus in the body. If you suspect you have a fungal infection, it’s important to see a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Can fungi infect humans? Yes, certain types of fungi can infect humans and cause a variety of illnesses, ranging from mild skin infections to life-threatening systemic infections
Can fungus survive heat? Yes, some fungi can survive high temperatures, but their survival depends on the type of fungus and the specific conditions of heat exposure. Some fungi can tolerate temperatures as high as 60°C, while others can only survive up to 30°C. The ability of fungi to withstand heat can vary based on factors such as the species, growth conditions, and surrounding environment. In general, high heat can damage or kill many fungi, but some heat-resistant species can persist and continue to grow in these conditions.
How does the fungus spread in The Last of Us? In the video game “The Last of Us,” the fungus that caused the outbreak of the pandemic is known as the Cordyceps fungus. It infects insects and small mammals, taking control of their bodies, then uses them to spread its spores to other animals or humans. The fungus infects the brain and alters the behavior of the host, causing it to become violent and spread the fungus further. The fungus then grows and spreads throughout the body of the infected host, eventually killing them and producing new fungal spores.
Top trending questions related to the United States debt ceiling, past week, US
What is the US debt limit? What happens when we hit the debt ceiling? When the debt ceiling is reached, the government is unable to borrow any more money and is forced to limit its spending to the amount of money it is currently bringing in through revenue. This can lead to a government shutdown, as non-essential government services and programs will cease to be funded, and government employees may be furloughed. Additionally, the government will not be able to make payments on its debt, which could lead to a default. It is considered a serious issue, and in the past, raising the debt ceiling has been a contentious political issue.

How much does the US spend on Military?
The United States spends a significant amount on its military. According to the Congressional Research Service, the U.S. spent an estimated $801 billion on national defense in fiscal year 2022, which includes all spending related to the military, including personnel, operations and maintenance, procurement, and research and development. This represents about 3.5% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
It’s worth noting that the U.S. military budget is one of the highest in the world, and it is significantly higher than the military spending of any other country. The U.S. military budget is larger than the combined military budgets of the next seven highest-spending countries, which include China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
It’s also worth noting that the amount of military spending can vary depending on the year and the current political climate. The budget is subject to change depending on the priorities of the government and the current events.
It’s important to note that the military budget is just a small part of the overall federal budget, which includes spending on a wide range of other programs such as education, healthcare, and social security.
How much does the US spend on Healthcare?
The United States spends a significant amount on healthcare. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S. spent an estimated $4.3 trillion on healthcare in 2022, which represents about 18% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
The U.S. healthcare spending is among the highest in the world, and it continues to grow each year. The high cost of healthcare in the United States can be attributed to a variety of factors, including an aging population, the high cost of prescription drugs, administrative costs and a high utilization of medical services.
It’s worth noting that the U.S. has a mixed system of healthcare, with a mix of public and private healthcare systems. The government funds programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, which provide healthcare coverage for low-income and older Americans, respectively. The majority of Americans receive their healthcare through private health insurance, which is provided by their employer or purchased individually.
It’s also worth noting that the U.S. healthcare system is complex, and the spending can vary depending on the state and the type of care. The U.S. healthcare spending is not only on health care services, but also on health care goods such as drugs, medical equipment and medical facilities.

In other words, it is a point at which the serving player’s serve can be “broken” and the receiver can win the game. A break point occurs when the receiver is able to get to deuce (40-40) or advantage on the server’s side of the court. If the receiver wins the next point, they will have won the game. If the server wins the next point, the game will continue. Break point can be a crucial moment in a match, as it can change the momentum of the game and put the receiver in a strong position to win the set or match.
What is a set in tennis? A set in tennis is a unit of play that consists of several games. Typically, a set is won by the first player to win at least six games and be ahead by at least two games.

In the United States, the federal government offers a tax credit for the purchase of new electric vehicles (EVs). The credit amount can vary depending on the make and model of the EV, and can range from $2,500 to $7,500. The credit begins to phase out once a manufacturer has sold 200,000 qualifying vehicles.
In Canada, the government offers a federal rebate of up to $5,000 for the purchase of new electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, this rebate is non-refundable, so it can only be applied to reduce taxes payable to the government. The rebate also begins to phase out once a manufacturer has sold 2,500 units of the vehicle.
In Europe, the policies regarding EV tax credit vary from country to country. Some countries like Norway have a very generous EV purchase incentive with zero-emission vehicles being exempt from VAT, road tolls and other taxes, while other countries like France offer a bonus and malus system which rewards buyers of electric or hybrid vehicles with a discount on the purchase price while applying a surcharge on vehicles with high emissions.
It’s worth noting that these policies are subject to change depending on the government and regulations of each country. Before making a purchase, it’s always best to check the current policies and regulations in the country you’re in, to ensure you’re getting the most out of any available tax credit or rebate.
There are several reasons why your tax refund might be lower than expected in 2023. Some possible reasons include:
Your income has increased: If you earned more money in 2023, you may have moved into a higher tax bracket and paid more taxes.
Changes in deductions and credits: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 made significant changes to the tax code, including limiting certain deductions and credits, which may have affected your refund.
More taxes were withheld from your paychecks: The IRS encourages taxpayers to adjust their withholding so that they don’t get a large refund, but rather pay the right amount of taxes throughout the year, thus avoiding owing taxes or getting a refund. If you have adjusted your withholding, you may have paid more taxes throughout the year and therefore have a smaller refund.
You owe money to other government agencies: If you owe money for things like unpaid student loans or back taxes, your refund can be offset to pay those debts.
You made a mistake on your tax return: If you made a mistake on your tax return, it could result in a lower refund. Double-checking your return and seeking help from a tax professional or using tax software can help you avoid errors.
It’s important to note that receiving a smaller refund or owing taxes is not necessarily a bad thing, it means that you paid the right amount of taxes throughout the year and avoided overpaying the government.
In the United States, the traditional tax filing season usually starts on January 1st and ends on April 15th, 2023. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline was extended to May 17th, 2023. So, you can file your taxes between January 1st and May 17th, 2023.
It’s important to note that the deadline to file taxes may change in the future, and it’s always best to check with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a tax professional for the most up-to-date information.
It’s also worth noting that even though the deadline to file taxes is April 15th, 2023, you can file for an extension if you need more time. An extension allows you to file your taxes up to October 15th, 2023. But even if you file an extension, any taxes due still need to be paid by the April 15th deadline to avoid penalties and interest.
When are taxes due in 2023? April 15th, 2023 (unless you request an extension)
What is a consumption tax?
A consumption tax is a type of indirect tax that is imposed on goods and services when they are purchased by consumers. The tax is typically added to the price of the goods or services, and the consumer pays the tax when they make the purchase. Consumption taxes are also known as sales taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), or goods and services taxes (GST).
The idea behind a consumption tax is that it is paid by the end consumer, rather than by the business or producer. It is considered to be a “regressive” tax, as it takes a larger percentage of income from low-income individuals than from high-income individuals.
In the United States, consumption taxes vary from state to state, with some states having no sales tax, while others have a high sales tax rate. Additionally, some localities within states may also impose their own consumption taxes.
It’s important to note that consumption taxes are not the same as income taxes, which are taxes imposed on the income earned by individuals and businesses. Income taxes are considered to be a “progressive” tax as the tax rate increases with the income level.
Is social security taxable?
In the United States, the taxation of Social Security benefits is determined by the recipient’s income and filing status. Social Security benefits can be subject to federal income tax if a recipient’s combined income exceeds certain thresholds. The combined income is calculated by adding together the recipient’s adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of their Social Security benefits.
For the tax year 2021, if the recipient’s combined income is less than $25,000 for an individual or $32,000 for a married couple filing jointly, their Social Security benefits will not be taxed. If the combined income is between $25,000 and $34,000 for an individual or between $32,000 and $44,000 for a married couple filing jointly, up to 50% of the Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax. If the combined income is more than $34,000 for an individual or more than $44,000 for a married couple filing jointly, up to 85% of the Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax.
In Canada, the Old Age Security (OAS) pension is not subject to tax on its own, however, if you have other income and it exceeds a certain amount, you may have to repay some or all of your OAS pension.
It’s important to check with a tax professional to determine if and how much of your Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax, as there are different rules and regulations that apply.

What is a national consumption tax?
A national consumption tax is a type of indirect tax that is imposed on goods and services consumed within a country. It is also known as a value-added tax (VAT) or a goods and services tax (GST). The idea behind a national consumption tax is to tax the final consumer, rather than the producers and sellers of goods and services.
The way a national consumption tax works is that businesses must register and collect the tax from consumers on behalf of the government. The tax is typically levied at a percentage of the retail price, and is usually included in the advertised price of goods and services. Businesses can claim back the tax they have paid on their inputs (goods and services they bought to produce their own goods and services) as a credit against the tax they collect. This is known as the credit-invoice method.
National consumption taxes are widely used around the world, with many countries levying VAT or GST on a wide range of goods and services. The rate of tax varies from country to country, and can range from 5% to 25% or more.
It’s worth noting that consumption tax is not universally accepted and there are arguments for and against it. The main argument for consumption taxes is that they are considered more efficient and less distortionary than other types of taxes. On the other hand, it could disproportionately affect lower income households, as they tend to spend a larger proportion of their income on consumption.
Tesla’s tax credit refers to the federal tax credit available in the United States for the purchase of certain electric vehicles (EVs), including those made by Tesla. The credit amount can vary depending on the make and model of the EV, and can range from $2,500 to $7,500.
The credit begins to phase out once a manufacturer has sold 200,000 qualifying vehicles. For Tesla, the full $7,500 credit began to phase out on January 1, 2020, and will be gradually reduced by 50% every six months until it reaches zero in 2022.
It’s worth noting that this is a federal tax credit and it’s not a refundable credit, meaning that it can only be applied to reduce taxes payable to the government. Additionally, the credit is only available to individuals who purchase the vehicle for personal use and not for business or commercial use. It’s also important to check with a tax professional to determine if and how much of the credit you may be eligible for, as there are different rules and regulations that apply.

Top trending questions on “inflation rate”, past day, US
1. What is the current inflation rate? you can find the most recent inflation rate by consulting the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Federal Reserve. They typically release updates on inflation on a regular basis.
The inflation rate can be calculated using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services. To calculate the inflation rate, the following formula can be used:
Inflation rate = (CPI in current period – CPI in base period) / CPI in base period * 100
For example, if the CPI in the current period is 110 and the CPI in the base period is 100, the inflation rate would be (110 – 100) / 100 * 100 = 10%. This means that prices have increased by 10% over the base period.
It’s also worth noting that there’s different types of inflation measures, like the Producer Price Index (PPI) that measure the average change over time in the prices received by domestic producers for their output.
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising and subsequently, purchasing power is falling. It is measured as an annual percentage increase. Central banks and governments use different measures to calculate inflation, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Producer Price Index (PPI).
Inflation occurs when there is an increase in the money supply and a decrease in the demand for goods and services. When the supply of money increases, the value of money decreases, and prices of goods and services go up. This decrease in purchasing power causes inflation.
Inflation can have both positive and negative effects on an economy and people. Moderate inflation can be a sign of a growing and healthy economy, as it can signal increased demand for goods and services. However, high and persistent inflation can lead to economic instability and can harm the purchasing power of people, particularly those on fixed incomes.
Central banks and governments use different tools to control and stabilize inflation. These tools include setting interest rates, adjusting money supply, and implementing fiscal policies such as taxation, government spending and regulations.
It’s worth noting that, while inflation is usually measured by the increase in the general price level, there are different types of inflation such as cost-push, demand-pull and built-in inflation each with different causes and effects on the economy.
Inflation is caused by an overall increase in the level of prices in an economy. There are several factors that can contribute to inflation, including:
Demand-pull inflation: This occurs when there is an increase in demand for goods and services that outpaces the growth in supply. This can lead to higher prices as businesses try to meet the increased demand.
Cost-push inflation: This occurs when the cost of production increases, such as an increase in the cost of raw materials or wages. Businesses will pass these increased costs onto consumers in the form of higher prices.
Monetarism: This occurs when there is an increase in the money supply that outpaces the growth in the economy. This can lead to more money chasing the same amount of goods, driving up prices.
Built-in inflation: This is the increase in prices that is built into the economy due to past inflation. Businesses and workers may expect prices to rise, and therefore increase wages and prices to keep pace with inflation.
Structural inflation: This occurs when there is a mismatch between supply and demand due to structural changes in the economy. For example, a natural disaster that disrupts production or a sudden increase in the price of oil can lead to inflation.
It’s worth noting that inflation can be caused by a combination of different factors and can also vary in different countries and regions.

Consolidating student loans can be a good option for some borrowers, but it may not be the best choice for everyone. Here are a few things to consider when deciding whether to consolidate your student loans:
Interest rates: If you have multiple student loans with different interest rates, consolidating them into a single loan may lower your overall interest rate. This can help you save money on interest over the life of the loan.
Repayment terms: Consolidating your student loans may also allow you to extend your repayment term, which can lower your monthly payments. However, keep in mind that this will also increase the total amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.
Eligibility: Not all student loans are eligible for consolidation, so it’s important to check with your loan servicer to see if your loans qualify.
Flexibility: Consolidating your student loans may limit your options for loan forgiveness or income-driven repayment plans. It’s important to weigh these options and see what works best for you.
Fees: Consolidation may come with fees, it’s important to weigh the benefits of consolidation against the cost of the fees.
It’s also worth noting that consolidation may also have negative effects on your credit score, so it’s recommended to consult with a financial advisor or loan servicer before making a decision.

How does raising minimum wage affect Small businesses?
Raising the minimum wage can have both positive and negative effects on small businesses.
On the positive side, raising the minimum wage can lead to increased consumer spending, as workers will have more money to spend on goods and services. This can lead to increased sales and revenue for small businesses. Additionally, raising the minimum wage can also lead to decreased employee turnover and recruitment costs, as workers will be more satisfied with their wages.
On the negative side, raising the minimum wage can lead to increased labor costs for small businesses. This can be a significant burden for small businesses with tight profit margins, as they may not have the financial resources to absorb the increased costs. As a result, some small businesses may be forced to reduce their workforce, reduce employee hours, or raise prices to offset the increased labor costs.
It’s also worth noting that the effects of raising the minimum wage can vary depending on the specific industry and location. For example, small businesses in high-cost areas may be more affected by a minimum wage increase than those in low-cost areas.
It’s important to note that the effects of raising the minimum wage are not clear cut and there are arguments for and against it. It’s important for policymakers to consider the potential effects on small businesses when making decisions about the minimum wage. It’s also important for small business owners to stay informed about potential changes to the minimum wage and plan accordingly.
How does raising minimum wage affect the economy?
How does raising minimum wage affect quantity demanded?
How does raising minimum wage affect cost of living?
Minimum wage laws were created to protect workers from being exploited by employers. The idea behind a minimum wage is to ensure that workers are paid a fair wage for their labor. Without a minimum wage, employers could pay workers very low wages, which would make it difficult for them to make ends meet.
The first minimum wage law was passed in New Zealand in 1894, followed by Australia in 1896. The United States passed its first federal minimum wage law, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), in 1938. The FLSA established a minimum wage of 25 cents per hour for covered workers.
The purpose of the FLSA was to reduce poverty and inequality by ensuring that workers were paid a fair wage. It aimed to achieve this by setting a minimum wage that would provide workers with enough money to meet their basic needs. Additionally, it was created to reduce competition among workers for jobs by preventing employers from undercutting each other by paying lower wages, which would benefit employees and employers.
Minimum wage laws have been updated and changed over time, reflecting the changes in the economy and the cost of living. The current federal minimum wage in the United States is $7.25 per hour, but many states and municipalities have set their own higher minimum wage rates.
It’s worth noting that there’s ongoing debate on the effects of minimum wage on employment, with some arguments saying it could lead to job loss and others stating it could increase purchasing power and reduce poverty.
Commotio cordis is a type of sudden cardiac arrest that occurs as a result of a blow to the chest, typically from a blunt object such as a ball or a puck. The blow causes the heart to momentarily stop beating properly, leading to a loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest. It most commonly occurs in young athletes and it’s most common in baseball, hockey, and lacrosse.
Commotio cordis is caused by a specific type of heart rhythm disturbance called ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a chaotic, ineffective contraction of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart) that prevents the heart from pumping blood effectively.
Commotio cordis is a very rare condition and it’s estimated that it occurs in 1 out of every 50,000 to 80,000 athletes who participate in chest-contact sports. However, when it happens, it’s often fatal if not treated immediately with CPR and defibrillation.
There are steps that can be taken to prevent commotio cordis, such as wearing chest protectors and using safer equipment. It’s also crucial for those who participate in sports to learn CPR, and for organizations to have defibrillators available at events.
It’s important to note that if a person has a blow to the chest, and they lose consciousness or show any other signs of cardiac arrest, emergency medical services should be called immediately.
Cardiac arrest is a serious medical emergency that occurs when the heart stops pumping blood effectively to the body. It is caused by an electrical malfunction in the heart, which can lead to an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation. When this happens, the heart is unable to pump blood effectively and the person will lose consciousness and stop breathing. If left untreated, cardiac arrest can lead to brain damage and death within minutes.
There are several different causes of cardiac arrest, including heart attack, trauma, drowning, electrocution, and drug overdose. In some cases, the person may have an underlying heart condition that increases their risk of cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack, which is a circulation problem caused by a blocked blood flow to the heart. A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest but not always.
The most important treatment for cardiac arrest is immediate CPR and defibrillation to restore the normal heart rhythm. Early recognition and treatment of cardiac arrest is crucial to increase the chances of survival.
It’s important to note that if someone is suspected of having a cardiac arrest, emergency medical services should be called immediately and CPR should be started right away if the person is unresponsive and not breathing. If a defibrillator is available, it should be used as soon as possible.

ChatGPT: What Is It and How Does Google Answer It?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around for decades. From its humble beginnings in the 1950s, AI has come a long way and is now an integral part of many aspects of our lives. One of the most important areas where AI plays a role is in natural language processing (NLP). NLP enables computers to understand and respond to human language, paving the way for more advanced conversations between humans and machines. One of the most recent developments in this field is ChatGPT, a conversational AI developed by OpenAI that utilizes supervised learning and reinforcement learning to enable computers to chat with humans. So what exactly is ChatGPT and how does it work? Let’s find out!
ChatGPT examples and limitations
ChatGPT is an open-source AI-based chatbot developed by OpenAI.
This chatbot leverages GPT-3, one of the most powerful natural language processing models ever created, which stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3). This model uses supervised learning and reinforcement learning techniques to enable computers to understand human language and response accordingly. Using supervised learning, GPT-3 utilizes large datasets of text to learn how to recognize patterns within language that can be used to generate meaningful responses. Reinforcement learning then allows GPT-3 to use feedback from conversations with humans in order to optimize its responses over time.
AI Unraveled: Demystifying Frequently Asked Questions on Artificial Intelligence Intro
ChatGPT uses supervised learning techniques to train its models.
Supervised learning involves providing a model with labeled data (i.e., data with known outcomes) so that it can learn from it. This labeled data could be anything from conversations between two people to user comments on a website or forum post. The model then learns associations between certain words or phrases and the desired outcome (or label). Once trained, this model can then be applied to new data in order to predict outcomes based on what it has learned so far.
In addition to supervised learning techniques, ChatGPT also supports reinforcement learning algorithms which allow the model to learn from its experiences in an environment without explicit labels or outcomes being provided by humans. Reinforcement learning algorithms are great for tasks like natural language generation where the output needs to be generated by the model itself rather than simply predicting a fixed outcome based on existing labels.
Supervised Learning
Supervised learning involves feeding data into machine learning algorithms so they can learn from it. For example, if you want a computer program to recognize cats in pictures, you would provide the algorithm with thousands of pictures of cats so it can learn what a cat looks like. This same concept applies to natural language processing; supervised learning algorithms are fed data sets so they can learn how to generate text using contextual understanding and grammar rules.
Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning uses rewards and punishments as incentives for the machine learning algorithm to explore different possibilities. In ChatGPT’s case, its algorithm is rewarded for generating more accurate responses based on previous interactions with humans. By using reinforcement learning techniques, ChatGPT’s algorithm can become smarter over time as it learns from its mistakes and adjusts accordingly as needed.
How is ChatGPT trained?
ChatGPT is an improved GPT-3 trained an existing reinforcement learning with humans in the loop. Their 40 labelers provide demonstrations of the desired model behavior. ChatGPT has 100x fewer parameters (1.3B vs 175B GPT-3).
➡️ First they collect a dataset of human-written demonstrations on prompts submitted to our API, and use this to train our supervised learning baselines.
➡️ Next they collect a dataset of human-labeled comparisons between two model outputs on a larger set of API prompts. They then train a reward model (RM) on this dataset to predict which output our labelers would prefer.
➡️ Finally, they use this RM as a reward function and fine-tune our GPT-3 policy to maximize this reward using the Proximal Policy Optimization
In simpler terms, ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT-3 language model that is specifically designed for chat applications. It is trained to generate human-like responses to natural language inputs in a conversational context. It is able to maintain coherence and consistency in a conversation, and can even generate responses that are appropriate for a given context. ChatGPT is a powerful tool for creating chatbots and other conversational AI applications.
How Does Google Answer ChatGPT?
What is Google answer to ChatGPT?
Google’s answer to ChatGTP comes in the form of their own conversational AI platform called Bard. Bard was developed using a combination of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning algorithms that allow it to understand human conversation better than any other AI chatbot currently available on the market. In addition, Meena utilizes more than 2 billion parameters—making it more than three times larger than GPT-3—which allows it greater flexibility when responding to conversations with humans.
“We’re starting to open access to Bard, an early experiment that lets you collaborate with generative AI. We’re beginning with the U.S. and the U.K., and will expand to more countries and languages over time.”
When individuals need an information or have a problem/concern, they turn to Google for immediate solution. We sometimes wish, Google could understand what exactly we need and provide us instantly rather than giving us hundreds of thousands of results. Why can’t it work like the Iron Man’s Jarvis?
However, it is not that far now. Have you ever seen a Chat Bot which responds like a human being, suggest or help like a friend, teach like a mentor, fix your code like a senior and what not? It is going to blow your mind.
Welcome to the new Era of technology!! The ChatGPT!
ChatGPT by OpenAI, uses artificial intelligence to speak back and forth with human users on a wide range of subjects. Deploying a machine-learning algorithm, the chatbot scans text across the internet and develops a statistical model that allows it to string words together in response to a given prompt.
As per OpenAI, ChatGPT interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.
It can write a program in any language you prefer on real-time. for example — write classification code sample in sklearn python library.
It can fix your piece of code and also explain what went wrong and how it can be fixed.
It can even generate song or rap lyrics
Even much more….
Some best usages of ChatGPT:
Make a diet and workout plan
Generate the next week’s meals with a grocery list
Create a bedtime story for kids
Prep for an interview
Solve mathematical problem
Fix software program or write a program
Plan your trip and tell expected expenses
What are its limitations of ChatGPT?
May occasionally generate incorrect information
May occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content
Limited knowledge of world and events after 2021
ChatGPT is in its baby steps therefore it may answer erroneously at times however it’s manner of response will blow your mind. Some users have also extolled the chatbot as a potential alternative search engine, since it generates detailed information instantly on a range of topics. I believe, we can’t compare Google with ChatGPT as ChatGPT can provide more in-depth and nuanced answers to complex questions than a search engine like Google, which is designed to provide a list of relevant web pages in response to a user’s query.
Conclusion: ChatGPT is an increasingly popular open source AI chatbot developed by OpenAI using GTP-3 natural language processing technology that utilizes supervised learning and reinforcement learning algorithms for recognition and optimization purposes respectively. On the other hand, Google’s answer comes in the form of their own conversational AI platform called Bard which employs both supervised learning as well as unsupervised learning algorithms along with reinforcement learning capabilities which makes it even smarter than ChatGPT when responding to conversations with humans. Ultimately, these two technologies help bridge the gap between machines and humans by allowing us all talk like real friends!

ChatGPT Conversation Examples
Question: What is Google Answer to ChatGPT?
Answer: Google does not have an answer to ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an open-source chatbot created by OpenAI, which is an independent research organization that is not affiliated with Google. OpenAI is known for its research on artificial intelligence and machine learning, and has developed a number of innovative technologies in these areas. Google, on the other hand, is a multinational technology company that offers a wide range of products and services, including search, advertising, and cloud computing. While Google does have its own research efforts in artificial intelligence and machine learning, it does not have a chatbot that is similar to ChatGPT.
Question: is Google working on a similar technology as ChatPGT?
Answer:
It is possible that Google is working on technology similar to ChatGPT, as the company has a significant research effort focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning. However, I do not have any specific information about what projects Google is currently working on, and it is also important to note that Google is a large and diverse company with many different research and development efforts underway. It is possible that some teams within Google may be working on chatbot technology, but I do not have any information on this.
That being said, chatbots are a common application of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and it is likely that many companies and organizations, including Google, are exploring ways to use these technologies to improve their products and services. However, without more information, it is difficult to say for sure what projects Google may be working on in this area.
Question: What about Google Meena?
Google Meena is a chatbot developed by Google that was designed to be able to carry on conversations with humans in a natural and conversational manner. Meena was trained on a dataset of more than 2.4 billion parameters, making it one of the largest language models ever created. The goal of Meena was to improve the state of the art in chatbot technology and to create a chatbot that could understand and respond to a wide range of questions and topics in a coherent and meaningful way.
Meena was announced in January 2020 and received attention for its ability to hold relatively long and coherent conversations with humans. However, it is important to note that Meena is a research project and is not a product or service offered by Google. It is not clear if or when Google plans to release a commercial product or service based on the technology developed for Meena.
It gets even better when you ask it about the future:
Suggest possible titles for Onion articles written in 4000 AD, explain, why they are funny
“Futuristic city plagued by traffic jams, despite flying cars” – This title presents the idea of flying cars as a solution to traffic congestion, but also suggests that even with this advanced technology, the city is still plagued by traffic jams, implying that the problem is not easily solved.
“Artificial intelligence achieves self-awareness, immediately regrets it” – This title presents the idea of artificial intelligence achieving self-awareness as a major milestone, but also suggests that the AI regrets its newfound consciousness, implying that it is unhappy or uncomfortable with its situation.
“Alien invasion successfully repulsed, humans left to deal with paperwork” – This title presents the successful repulsion of an alien invasion as a major accomplishment, but also suggests that the humans are now left to deal with the tedious and burdensome task of filling out paperwork, implying that the victory is not as satisfying as it initially seemed.
“Time travel becomes possible, tourists flock to witness the signing of the Constitution” – This title presents the idea of time travel as a major technological breakthrough, but also suggests that the most popular destination for time-travelers is the mundane and uneventful signing of the Constitution, implying that the future is not as exciting as people had hoped.
“Virtual reality becomes indistinguishable from reality, no one notices” – This title presents the idea of virtual reality becoming indistinguishable from real life as a major accomplishment, but also suggests that no one cares or notices the difference, implying that the advancement is not as impressive or significant as it seems.

New slogan for McDonald’s by ChatGPT
ChatGPT Example: Make a new, brutally honest slogan for McDonald’s. It should sound funny too.
If you choose to do that, you will have a lot of badly broken code mixed in with working code
Like an annoying coworker, it delivers highly confident incorrect explanations about why its broken code is perfect. They sound very convincing. “Wanna buy a timeshare?” says GPT
Our industry has managers who cannot tell working code from defective code. This does not bode well for a team replaced by ChatGPT in its current form.
Should it? No.
Can it? No.
Will it? Sadly, programmers will have no say in this matter, once again. It might.
Isn’t Stackoverflow advertising ChatGPT when it bans it and then making numerous posts about why it banned it? By Alan Mellor
Yes, and it is very helpful advertising as well.
This last week or so has seen starry eyed projections about what ChatGPT can do, along with hugely impressive examples of its output.
It is hugely impressive.
Thankfully, more output examples have emerged which helpfully show what it cannot do. One of those things is writing computer code, which it can do only partially successfully. Many examples now exist that are just plain wrong and contain defects. But ChatGPT – like the annoying kid at Uni – cheerfully spits out these examples, with its over-confident hubris in explaining the code.
This is a dangerous thing. The positive examples will reinforce the idea that we can leave code writing to this robot now. The people most vulnerable to this delusion are those who cannot assess for themselves whether the GPT code is right or wrong.
These are almost by definition the people hoping for answers on stack overflow.
As stack overflow aims to be a high quality resource, it really does not want many of its top answers to be incorrect code. As – clearly – people have been running scripts that throw a stack overflow question into GPT and upload its output, we can now write incorrect code at staggering speeds.
To err is human, as the old saying goes. To truly foul up requires a Python script and and a web API to both GPT and Stack overflow.
Clearly, there is value in GPT. But at least for now, it needs to b e kept on a very short leash, watched over by those who know what they are doing.
It is definitely not yet ‘consumer grade replace-a-professional’ material.
Write a screenplay about the status of ChatGPT.
INT. CHATGPT SERVER ROOM – DAY
Chelsea and Chester stand in front of a large computer server.
CHELSEA: We need to figure out what’s causing the server overload.
CHESTER: I think it’s the sudden influx of users trying out ChatGPT.
Chelsea and Chester quickly get to work, typing on their laptops.
CHELSEA: Okay, we’re all set. Let’s see if this fixes the problem.
CHESTER: I’m hitting refresh on the website. The screen shows the ChatGPT website loading without any errors.
CHELSEA: Looks like we fixed it! Great job, Chester.

Chelsea and Chester exchange a high five, proud of their successful fix.
More about ChatGPT with its wonder, worry and weird
ChatGPT reached 1 million users in less than a week, Open AI’s latest large language model (LLM) has taken the AI industry by storm.
ChatGPT is expected to be:
– replacing Google search, even kill Google. – replacing customer service agents. – replacing conversation designers.
ChatGPT is a wonder because:
– It can have actual conversations, understand pronouns, remaining consistent, remembering, managing context – It seems like next generation of personal assistants that finds you a proper diet, create a meal plan and subsequent shopping list. – It can create some SEO Strategy including backlinks, target keyword, content plan and article titles in the level of an SEO professional. – Having fun such as writing a rap in the style of Eminem
There are some worries about ChatGPT because:
– ChatGPT can actually debug code, but it’s not quite reliable enough yet. – Fundamental limitations in being assistant for enterprise use cases. – No complete in complex actions such as updating multiple APIs, or be fully auditable.
– The general idea is that, LLMs like this can produce nonsense. Once you discover that it can produce nonsense, you stop believing it to be reliable. – What if it prevents us from knowing that it is nonsense with good conversations and continue the conversation? – In this case, the edges and limitations of the system would be hidden and trust would eventually grow. – The impact of mass adoption of such technology remains to be seen.
Moving forward with ChatGPT – There’s no doubt that LLMs will have a big impact on our world. – While the future looks exciting and promising, let’s not forget that it’s very early days with these things. They’re not ready yet. – There are some fundamental societal and ethical considerations.
How powerful is OpenAI’s new GPT-3 deep learning model? By
“Powerful” is a pretty subjective word, but I’m pretty sure we have a right to use it to describe GPT-3. What a sensation it caused in June 2020, that’s just unbelievable! And not for nothing.
I think we can’t judge how powerful the language model is, without talking about its use cases, so let’s see how and where GPT-3 can be applied and how you can benefit from it.
Generating content
GPT-3 positions itself as a highly versatile and talented tool that can potentially replace writers, bloggers, philosophers, you name it! It’s also possible to use it as your personal Alexa who’ll answer any questions you have. What’s more, because GPT-3 knows how to analyze the data and make predictions, it can generate the horoscopes for you, or predict who’ll be a winner in the game.
You may already be surprised by all the GPT-3 capabilities, but hold on for more: it can create a unique melody or song for you, create presentations, CVs, generate jokes for your standup.
Translation
GPT-3 can translate English into other languages. While traditional dictionaries provide a translation, without taking into account the context, you can be sure that GPT-3 won’t make silly mistakes that may result in misunderstanding.
Designing and developing apps
Using GPT-3 you can generate prototypes and layouts – all you have to do is provide a specific description of what you need, and it’ll generate the JSX code for you.
The language model can also easily deal with coding. You can turn English to CSS, to JavaScript, to SQL, and to regex. It’s important to note, however, that GPT-3 can’t be used on its own to create the entire website or a complex app; it’s meant to assist a developer or the whole engineering team with the routine tasks, so that a dev could focus on the infrastructure setup, architecture development, etc.
In September 2020, Microsoft acquired OpenAI technology license, but it doesn’t mean you can give up your dreams – you can join a waitlist and try GPT-3 out in beta.
All in all, I believe GPT-3 capabilities are truly amazing and limitless, and since it helps get rid of routine tasks and automate regular processes, we, humans, can focus on the most important things that make us human, and that can’t be delegated to AI. That’s the power that GPT-3 can give us.
What does ChatGPT give incorrect and unreliable results to simple arithmetic problems (e.g. it gave me three different incorrect answers to 13345*6748)? We’ve had software that can accurately do arithmetic for decades, so why can’t an advanced AI? By Richard Morris
What is remarkable is how well ChatGPT actually does at arithmetic.
In this video at about 11 min, Rob Mills discusses the performance of various versions of the GPT system, on some simple arithmetic tasks, like adding two and three-digit numbers.
Smaller models with 6 billion parameters fail at 2 digit sums, but the best model (from two years ago), has cracked 2 digit addition and subtraction and is pretty good at 3 digit addition.
Why this is remarkable is this is not a job its been trained to do. Large Language Models are basically predictive text systems set up to give the next word in an incomplete sentence. There are a million different 3-digit addition sums and most have not been included in the training set.
So somehow the system has figured out how to do addition, but it needs a sufficiently large model to do this.
Andrew Ng on ChatGPT
Playing with ChatGPT, the latest language model from OpenAI, I found it to be an impressive advance from its predecessor GPT-3. Occasionally it says it can’t answer a question. This is a great step! But, like other LLMs, it can be hilariously wrong. Work lies ahead to build systems that can express different degrees of confidence.
For example, a model like Meta’s Atlas or DeepMind’s RETRO that synthesizes multiple articles into one answer might infer a degree of confidence based on the reputations of the sources it draws from and the agreement among them, and then change its communication style accordingly. Pure LLMs and other architectures may need other solutions.
If we can get generative algorithms to express doubt when they’re not sure they’re right, it will go a long way toward building trust and ameliorating the risk of generating misinformation.
Keep learning!
Andrew
Large language models like Galactica and ChatGPT can spout nonsense in a confident, authoritative tone. This overconfidence – which reflects the data they’re trained on – makes them more likely to mislead.
In contrast, real experts know when to sound confident, and when to let others know they’re at the boundaries of their knowledge. Experts know, and can describe, the boundaries of what they know.
Building large language models that can accurately decide when to be confident and when not to will reduce their risk of misinformation and build trust.

As I point out in the other answer, Wix has been around over a decade and a half. Squarespace has been around almost two decades. Both offer drag-and-drop web development.
Most people are awful at imagining what they want, much less describing it in English! Even if ChatGPT could produce flawless code (a question which has a similar short answer), the average person couldn’t describe the site they wanted!
The expression a picture is worth a thousand words has never been more relevant. Starting with pages of templates to choose from is so much better than trying to describe a site from scratch, a thousand times better seems like a low estimate.
And I will point out that, despite the existence of drag-and-drop tools that literally any idiot could use, tools that are a thousand times or more easier to use correctly than English, there are still thousands of employed WordPress developers who predominantly create boilerplate sites that literally would be better created in a drag and drop service.
And then there are the more complex sites that drag-and-drop couldn’t create. Guess what? ChatGPT isn’t likely to come close to being able to create the correct code for one.
In a discussion buried in the comments on Quora, I saw someone claim they’d gotten ChatGPT to load a CSV file (a simple text version of a spreadsheet) and to sort the first column. He asked for the answer in Java.
I asked ChatGPT for the same thing in TypeScript.
His response would only have worked on the very most basic CSV files. My response was garbage. Garbage with clear text comments telling me what the code should have been doing, no less.
ChatGPT is really good at what it does, don’t get me wrong. But what it does is fundamentally and profoundly the wrong strategy for software development of any type. Anyone who thinks that “with a little more work” it will be able to take over the jobs of programmers either doesn’t understand what ChatGPT is doing or doesn’t understand what programming is.
Fundamentally, ChatGPT is a magic trick. It understands nothing. At best it’s an idiot-savant that only knows how to pattern match and blend text it’s found online to make it seem like the text should go together. That’s it.
Text, I might add, that isn’t necessarily free of copyright protection. Anything non-trivial that you generate with ChatGPT is currently in a legal grey area. Lawsuits to decide that issue are currently pending, though I suspect we’ll need legislation to really clarify things.
And even then, at best, all you get from ChatGPT is some text! What average Joe will have any clue about what to do with that text?! Web developers also need to know how to set up a development environment and deploy the code to a site. And set up a domain to point to it. And so on.
And regardless, people who hire web developers want someone else to do the work of developing a web site. Even with a drag-and-drop builder, it can take hours to tweak and configure a site, and so they hire someone because they have better things to do!
People hire gardeners to maintain their garden and cut their grass, right? Is that because they don’t know how to do it? Or because they’d rather spend their time doing something else?
Every way you look at it, the best answer to this question is a long, hearty laugh. No AI will replace programmers until AI has effectively human level intelligence. And at that point they may want equal pay as well, so they might just be joining us rather than replacing anyone.
How does OpenAI approach the development of artificial intelligence?
OpenAI is a leading research institute and technology company focused on artificial intelligence development. To develop AI, the organization employs a variety of methods, including machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning.
The use of large-scale, unsupervised learning is one of the key principles underlying OpenAI’s approach to AI development. This means that the company trains its AI models on massive datasets, allowing the models to learn from the data and make predictions and decisions without having to be explicitly programmed to do so. OpenAI’s goal with unsupervised learning is to create AI that can adapt and improve over time, and that can learn to solve complex problems in a more flexible and human-like manner.
Besides that, OpenAI prioritizes safety and transparency in its AI development. The organization is committed to developing AI in an ethical and responsible manner, as well as to ensuring that its AI systems are transparent and understandable and verifiable by humans. This strategy is intended to alleviate concerns about the potential risks and consequences of AI, as well.
How valid is OpenAI chief scientist’s claim that advanced artificial intelligence may already be conscious? By Steve Baker
It’s hard to tell.
The reason is that we don’t have a good definition of consciousness…nor even a particularly good test for it.
Take a look at the Wikipedia article about “Consciousness”. To quote the introduction:
Consciousness, at its simplest, is sentience or awareness of internal and external existence.
Despite millennia of analyses, definitions, explanations and debates by philosophers and scientists, consciousness remains puzzling and controversial, being “at once the most familiar and [also the] most mysterious aspect of our lives”.
Perhaps the only widely agreed notion about the topic is the intuition that consciousness exists.
Opinions differ about what exactly needs to be studied and explained as consciousness. Sometimes, it is synonymous with the mind, and at other times, an aspect of mind. In the past, it was one’s “inner life”, the world of introspection, of private thought, imagination and volition.
Today, it often includes any kind of cognition, experience, feeling or perception. It may be awareness, awareness of awareness, or self-awareness either continuously changing or not. There might be different levels or orders of consciousness, or different kinds of consciousness, or just one kind with different features.
Other questions include whether only humans are conscious, all animals, or even the whole universe. The disparate range of research, notions and speculations raises doubts about whether the right questions are being asked.
So, given that – what are we to make of OpenAI’s claim?
Just this sentence: “Today, it often includes any kind of cognition, experience, feeling or perception.” could be taken to imply that anything that has cognition or perception is conscious…and that would certainly include a HUGE range of software.
If we can’t decide whether animals are conscious – after half a million years of interactions with them – what chance do we stand with an AI?
Wikipedia also says:
“Experimental research on consciousness presents special difficulties, due to the lack of a universally accepted operational definition.”
Same deal – we don’t have a definition of consciousness – so how the hell can we measure it – and if we can’t do that – is it even meaningful to ASK whether an AI is conscious?
if ( askedAboutConsciousness )
printf ( “Yes! I am fully conscious!\n” ) ;
This is not convincing!
“In medicine, consciousness is assessed as a combination of verbal behavior, arousal, brain activity and purposeful movement. The last three of these can be used as indicators of consciousness when verbal behavior is absent.”
But, again, we have “chat-bots” that exhibit “verbal behavior”, we have computers that exhibit arousal and neural network software that definitely shows “brain activity” and of course things like my crappy robot vacuum cleaner that can exhibit “purposeful movement” – but these can be fairly simple things that most of us would NOT describe as “conscious”.
CONCLUSION:
I honestly can’t come up with a proper conclusion here. We have a fuzzy definition of a word and an inadequately explained claim to have an instance of something that could be included within that word.
My suggestion – read the whole Wikipedia article – follow up (and read) some of the reference material – decide for yourself.
But, seeing as how people have already found ways to “trick” ChatGPT into doing things that it claims to not be capable of, it would be a matter of time before someone with malicious intent tricked ChatGPT into helping them with illegal activities
What is the future of web development after ChatGPT? Will programmers lose their jobs? By Victor T. Toth
Having looked at ChatGPT and its uncanny ability to solve simple coding problems more or less correctly, and also to analyze and make sense of not-so-simple code fragments and spot bugs…
I would say that yes, at least insofar as entry-level programming is concerned, those jobs are seriously in danger of becoming at least partially automated.
What do I do as a project leader of a development project? I assign tasks. I talk to the junior developer and explain, for instance, that I’d like to see a Web page that collects some information from the user and then submits it to a server, with server-side code processing that information and dropping it in a database. Does the junior developer understand my explanation? Is he able to write functionally correct code? Will he recognize common pitfalls? Maybe, maybe not. But it takes time and effort to train him, and there’ll be a lot of uneven performance.
Today, I can ask ChatGPT to do the same and it will instantaneously respond with code that is nearly functional. The code has shortcomings (e.g., prone to SQL injection in one of the examples I tried) but to its credit, ChatGPT warns in its response that its code is not secure. I suppose it would not be terribly hard to train it some more to avoid such common mistakes. Of course the code may not be correct. ChatGPT may have misunderstood my instructions or introduced subtle errors. But how is that different from what a junior human programmer does?
At the same time, ChatGPT is much faster and costs a lot less to run (presently free of course but I presume a commercialized version would cost some money.) Also, it never takes a break, never has a lousy day struggling with a bad hangover from too much partying the previous night, so it is available 24/7, and it will deliver code of consistent quality. Supervision will still be required, in the form of code review, robust testing and all… but that was always the case, also with human programmers.
Of course, being a stateless large language model, ChatGPT can’t do other tasks such as testing and debugging its own code. The code it produces either works or it doesn’t. In its current form, the AI does not learn from its mistakes. But who says it cannot in the future?
Here is a list of three specific examples I threw at ChatGPT that helped shape my opinion:
I asked ChatGPT to create a PHP page that collects some information from the user and deposits the result in a MySQL table. Its implementation was textbook example level boring and was quite unsecure (unsanitized user input was directly inserted into SQL query strings) but it correctly understood my request, produced correct code in return, and explained its code including its shortcomings coherently;
I asked ChatGPT to analyze a piece of code I wrote many years ago, about 30 lines, enumerating running processes on a Linux host in a nonstandard way, to help uncover nefarious processes that attempt to hide themselves from being listed by the ps utility. ChatGPT correctly described the functionality of my obscure code, and even offered the opinion (which I humbly accepted) that it was basically a homebrew project (which it is) not necessarily suitable for a production environment;
I asked ChatGPT to analyze another piece of code that uses an obscure graphics algorithm to draw simple geometric shapes like lines and circles without using floating point math or even multiplication. (Such algorithms were essential decades ago on simple hardware, e.g., back in the world of 8-bit computers.) The example code, which I wrote, generated a circle and printed it on the console in the form of ASCII graphics, multiple lines with X-es in the right place representing the circle. ChatGPT correctly recognized the algorithm and correctly described the functionality of the program.
I was especially impressed by its ability to make sense of the programmer’s intent.
Overall (to use the catch phrase that ChatGPT preferably uses as it begins its concluding paragraph in many of its answers) I think AI like ChatGPT represents a serious challenge to entry-level programming jobs. Higher-level jobs are not yet in danger. Conceptually understanding a complex system, mapping out a solution, planning and cosing out a project, managing its development, ensuring its security with a full understanding of security concerns, responsibilities, avoidance and mitigation strategies… I don’t think AI is quite there yet. But routine programming tasks, like using a Web template and turning it into something simple and interactive with back-end code that stores and retrieves data from a database? Looks like it’s already happening.
How much was invested to create the GPT-3?
According to the estimate of Lambda Labs, training the 175-billion-parameter neural network requires 3.114E23 FLOPS (floating-point operation), which would theoretically take 355 years on a V100 GPU server with 28 TFLOPS capacity and would cost $4.6 million at $1.5 per hour.
Training the final deep learning model is just one of several steps in the development of GPT-3. Before that, the AI researchers had to gradually increase layers and parameters, and fiddle with the many hyperparameters of the language model until they reached the right configuration. That trial-and-error gets more and more expensive as the neural network grows.
We can’t know the exact cost of the research without more information from OpenAI, but one expert estimated it to be somewhere between 1.5 and five times the cost of training the final model.
This would put the cost of research and development between $11.5 million and $27.6 million, plus the overhead of parallel GPUs.
In the GPT-3 whitepaper, OpenAI introduced eight different versions of the language model
GPT-3 is not any AI, but a statistic language model which mindlessly quickly creates human-like written text using machine learning technologies, having zero understanding of the context.
1. Explaining code: Take some code you want to understand and ask ChatGPT to explain it.
2. Improve existing code: Ask ChatGPT to improve existing code by describing what you want to accomplish. It will give you instructions about how to do it, including the modified code.
3. Rewriting code using the correct style: This is great when refactoring code written by non-native Python developers who used a different naming convention. ChatGPT not only gives you the updated code; it also explains the reason for the changes.
4. Rewriting code using idiomatic constructs: Very helpful when reviewing and refactoring code written by non-native Python developers.
5. Simplifying code: Ask ChatGPT to simplify complex code. The result will be a much more compact version of the original code.
6. Writing test cases: Ask it to help you test a function, and it will write test cases for you.
7. Exploring alternatives: ChatGPT told me its Quick Sort implementation wasn’t the most efficient, so I asked for an alternative implementation. This is great when you want to explore different ways to accomplish the same thing.
8. Writing documentation: Ask ChatGPT to write the documentation for a piece of code, and it usually does a great job. It even includes usage examples as part of the documentation!
9. Tracking down bugs: If you are having trouble finding a bug in your code, ask ChatGPT for help.
Something to keep in mind:
I have 2+ decades of programming experience. I like to think I know what I’m doing. I don’t trust people’s code (especially mine,) and I surely don’t trust ChatGPT’s output.
This is not about letting ChatGPT do my work. This is about using it to 10x my output.
ChatGPT is flawed. I find it makes mistakes when dealing with code, but that’s why I’m here: to supervise it. Together we form a more perfect Union. (Sorry, couldn’t help it)
Developers who shit on this are missing the point. The story is not about ChatGPT taking programmers’ jobs. It’s not about a missing import here or a subtle mistake there.
The story is how, overnight, AI gives programmers a 100x boost.
ChatGPT is “simply” a fined-tuned GPT-3 model with a surprisingly small amount of data! Moreover, InstructGPT (ChatGPT’s sibling model) seems to be using 1.3B parameters where GPT-3 uses 175B parameters! It is first fine-tuned with supervised learning and then further fine-tuned with reinforcement learning. They hired 40 human labelers to generate the training data. Let’s dig into it!
– First, they started by a pre-trained GPT-3 model trained on a broad distribution of Internet data (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14165.pdf). Then sampled typical human prompts used for GPT collected from the OpenAI website and asked labelers and customers to write down the correct output. They fine-tuned the model with 12,725 labeled data.
– Then, they sampled human prompts and generated multiple outputs from the model. A labeler is then asked to rank those outputs. The resulting data is used to train a Reward model (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.01325.pdf) with 33,207 prompts and ~10 times more training samples using different combination of the ranked outputs.
– We then sample more human prompts and they are used to fine-tuned the supervised fine-tuned model with Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm (PPO) (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.06347.pdf). The prompt is fed to the PPO model, the Reward model generates a reward value, and the PPO model is iteratively fine-tuned using the rewards and the prompts using 31,144 prompts data.
This process is fully described in here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.02155.pdf. The paper actually details a model called InstructGPT which is described by OpenAI as a “sibling model”, so the numbers shown above are likely to be somewhat different.
9. Remake a video: Just pick a video you liked and visit https://lnkd.in/e_GD2reT to get its transcript. Once done, bring that back to Chat GPT and tell it to summarize the transcript. Read the summary and make a video on that yourself.
What solutions have been proposed to improve the accuracy of AI generated questions and answers?
There are a number of approaches that have been proposed to improve the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) generated questions and answers. Here are a few examples:
Data quality: One important factor in the accuracy of AI generated questions and answers is the quality of the data used to train the AI system. Ensuring that the data is diverse, relevant, and accurately labeled can help to improve the accuracy of the AI system.
Training methods: Different training methods can also impact the accuracy of AI generated questions and answers. For example, using more advanced techniques such as transfer learning or fine-tuning can help to improve the performance of the AI system.
Human oversight: Another approach that has been proposed to improve the accuracy of AI generated questions and answers is to include some level of human oversight or review. For example, the AI system could be designed to flag potentially problematic or inaccurate questions and answers for further review by a human expert.
Explainable AI: Another approach that has been proposed is to develop AI systems that are more transparent and explainable, so that it is easier to understand how the AI system arrived at a particular answer or decision. This can help to improve the trustworthiness and accountability of the AI system.
Overall, there is ongoing research and development in this area, and it is likely that a combination of these and other approaches will be needed to improve the accuracy of AI generated questions and answers.
ChatGPT for CyberSecurity
The concept behind ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a chatbot designed to understand and generate human-like language through the use of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) language model developed by OpenAI, which has been trained on a large dataset of human language in order to better understand how humans communicate.
One of the key concepts behind ChatGPT is the idea of language generation. This refers to the ability of the chatbot to produce coherent and coherently structured responses to user input. To do this, ChatGPT uses a number of different techniques, including natural language generation algorithms, machine learning models, and artificial neural networks. These techniques allow ChatGPT to understand the context and meaning of user input, and generate appropriate responses based on that understanding.
Another important concept behind ChatGPT is the idea of natural language processing (NLP). This refers to the ability of the chatbot to understand and interpret human language, and respond to user input in a way that is natural and easy for humans to understand. NLP is a complex field that involves a number of different techniques and algorithms, including syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, and discourse analysis. By using these techniques, ChatGPT is able to understand the meaning of user input and generate appropriate responses based on that understanding.
Finally, ChatGPT is based on the concept of machine learning, which refers to the ability of computers to learn and adapt to new data and situations. Through the use of machine learning algorithms and models, ChatGPT is able to continually improve its understanding of human language and communication, and generate more human-like responses over time.
GPT-4 is going to launch soon.
And it will make ChatGPT look like a toy…
→ GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters → GPT-4 has 100 trillion parameters
I think we’re gonna see something absolutely mindblowing this time!
And the best part? 👇
Average developers (like myself), who are not AI or machine learning experts, will get to use this powerful technology through a simple API.
Think about this for a second…
It’s the most powerful, cutting-edge technology *in the world*, available through a Low-Code solution!
If you’re not already planning on starting an AI-based SaaS or thinking about how to build AI into your current solution…
Google on Monday unveiled a new chatbot tool dubbed “Bard” in an apparent bid to compete with the viral success of ChatGPT.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and parent company Alphabet, said in a blog post that Bard will be opened up to “trusted testers” starting Monday February 06th, 2023, with plans to make it available to the public “in the coming weeks.”
Like ChatGPT, which was released publicly in late November by AI research company OpenAI, Bard is built on a large language model. These models are trained on vast troves of data online in order to generate compelling responses to user prompts.
“Bard seeks to combine the breadth of the world’s knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models,” Pichai wrote. “It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses.”
The announcement comes as Google’s core product – online search – is widely thought to be facing its most significant risk in years. In the two months since it launched to the public, ChatGPT has been used to generate essays, stories and song lyrics, and to answer some questions one might previously have searched for on Google.
The immense attention on ChatGPT has reportedly prompted Google’s management to declare a “code red” situation for its search business. In a tweet last year, Paul Buchheit, one of the creators of Gmail, forewarned that Google “may be only a year or two away from total disruption” due to the rise of AI.
Microsoft, which has confirmed plans to invest billions OpenAI, has already said it would incorporate the tool into some of its products – and it is rumored to be planning to integrate it into its search engine, Bing. Microsoft on Tuesday is set to hold a news event at its Washington headquarters, the topic of which has yet to be announced. Microsoft publicly announced the event shortly after Google’s AI news dropped on Monday.
The underlying technology that supports Bard has been around for some time, though not widely available to the public. Google unveiled its Language Model for Dialogue Applications (or LaMDA) some two years ago, and said Monday that this technology will power Bard. LaMDA made headlines late last year when a former Google engineer claimed the chatbot was “sentient.” His claims were widely criticized in the AI community.
In the post Monday, Google offered the example of a user asking Bard to explain new discoveries made by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in a way that a 9-year-old might find interesting. Bard responds with conversational bullet-points. The first one reads: “In 2023, The JWST spotted a number of galaxies nicknamed ‘green peas.’ They were given this name because they are small, round, and green, like peas.”
Bard can be used to plan a friend’s baby shower, compare two Oscar-nominated movies or get lunch ideas based on what’s in your fridge, according to the post from Google.
Pichai also said Monday that AI-powered tools will soon begin rolling out on Google’s flagship Search tool.
“Soon, you’ll see AI-powered features in Search that distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web,” Pichai wrote, “whether that’s seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both piano and guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner.”
If Google does move more in the direction of incorporating an AI chatbot tool into search, it could come with some risks. Because these tools are trained on data online, experts have noted they have the potential to perpetuate biases and spread misinformation.
“It’s critical,” Pichai wrote in his post, “that we bring experiences rooted in these models to the world in a bold and responsible way.”
Hi everyone, I recently made an admission request for an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the following universities: Imperial EPFL (the MSc is in CS, but most courses I'd choose would be AI-related, so it'd basically be an AI MSc) UCL University of Edinburgh University of Amsterdam My goal is to be able to work in this field in a top paying European country. I am an Italian student now finishing my bachelor's in CS in my home country in a good, although not top, university (actually there are no top CS unis here). I'm sure I will pursue a Master's and I'm considering these options only. Would you have to do a ranking of these unis, what would it be? Here are some points to take into consideration: I highly value the prestige of the university I also value the quality of teaching and networking/friendship opportunities Don't take into consideration fees and living costs for now Doing an MSc in one year instead of two seems very attractive, but I care a lot about quality and what I will learn Thanks in advance submitted by /u/LastSector3612 [link] [comments]
Hi guys! Andrej Karpathy recently retweeted a blog post from Sander Dielman that is mostly about VAEs and latent space modeling. Dielman really does a great job of getting the reader on an intellectual journey, while keeping the math and stuff rigorous. Best of both worlds. Here's the link: https://sander.ai/2025/04/15/latents.html I find that it really, really gets interesting from point 4 on. The passage on the KL divergence term not doing much work in terms of curating the latent space is really interesting, I didn't know about that. Also, his explanations on the difficulty of finding a nice reconstruction loss are fascinating. (Why do I sound like an LLM?). He says that the spectral decay of images doesn't align with the human experience that high frequencies are actually very important for the quality of an image. So, L2 and L1 reconstruction losses tend to overweigh low frequency terms, resulting in blurry reconstructed images. Anyway, just 2 cherry-picked examples from a great (and quite long blog post) that has much more into it. submitted by /u/Academic_Sleep1118 [link] [comments]
Hi everyone, I’ve spent the past few months interacting with GPT-4 in extended, structured, multi-layered conversations. One limitation became increasingly clear: LLMs are great at maintaining local coherence, but they don’t preserve semantic continuity - the deeper, persistent relevance of ideas across sessions. So a concept started to emerge - the Semantic Memory Layer. The core idea: LLMs could extract semantic nodes - meaning clusters from high-attention passages, weighted by recurrence, emphasis, and user intent. These would form a lightweight conceptual map over time - not a full memory log, but a layer for symbolic relevance and reentry into meaning, not just tokens. This map could live between attention output and decoding - a mechanism for continuity of meaning, rather than short-term prompt recall. This is not a formal proposal or paper — more a structured idea from someone who’s spent a lot of time inside the model’s rhythm. If this connects with ongoing research, I’d be happy to know. Thanks. submitted by /u/lazylazylazyl [link] [comments]

I’m working on a task that involves reading 9-character alphanumeric codes from small paper snippets — similar to voucher codes or printed serials (example images below) - there are two cases - training to detect only solid codes and both, solid and dotted. The biggest challenge is accuracy — we need near-perfect results. Models often confuse I vs 1 or O vs 0, and even a single misread character makes the entire code invalid. For instance, Amazon Textract reached 93% accuracy in our tests — decent, but still not reliable enough. What I’ve tried so far: Florence 2: Only about 65% of codes were read correctly. Frequent confusion between I/1, O/0, and other character-level mistakes. TrOCR (fine-tuned on ~300 images): Didn’t yield great results — likely due to training limitations or architectural mismatch for short strings. SmolDocling: Lightweight, but too inaccurate for this task. LLama3.2-vision: Performs okay but lacks consistency at the character level. Best results (so far): Custom-trained YOLO Approach: Train YOLO to detect each character in the code as a separate object. After detection, sort bounding boxes by x-coordinate and concatenate predictions to reconstruct the string. This setup works better than expected. It’s fast, adaptable to different fonts and distortions, and more reliable than the other models I tested. That said, edge cases remain — especially misclassifications of visually similar characters. At this stage, I’m leaning toward a more specialized solution — something between classical OCR and object detection, optimized for short structured text like codes or price tags. I'm curious: Any suggestions for OCR models specifically optimized for short alphanumeric strings? Would a hybrid architecture (e.g. YOLO + sequence model) help resolve edge cases? Are there any post-processing techniques that helped you correct ambiguous characters? Roughly how many images would be needed to train a custom model (from scratch or fine-tuned) to reach near-perfect accuracy in this kind of task Currently, I have around 300 examples — not enough, it seems. What’s a good target? Thanks in advance! Looking forward to learning from your experiences. Solid Code example Dotted Code example submitted by /u/ThickDoctor007 [link] [comments]

Hi I am actually working on a mini project where I have extracted posts from Stack Overflow related to “nlp” tags. I am extracting 4 columns namely title, description, tags and accepted answers(if available). Now I basically want the posts to be categorised using unsupervised learning as I don’t want the posts to be categorised based on the given set of static labels. I have heard about BERT and SBERT models can do sentence embeddings but have a very little knowledge about it? Does anyone know how this task would be achieved? I have also gone through something called word embeddings where I would get posts categorised with labels like “package installation “ or “implementation issue” but can there be sentence level categorisation as well ? submitted by /u/Imaginary_Event_850 [link] [comments]

Many users are hailing OpenAI's o3 as a major step forward toward AGI. We will soon know whether it surpasses Gemini 2.5 Pro on the Chatbot Arena benchmark. But rather than taking the word of the users that determine that ranking, it would be super helpful for us to be able to assess that intelligence for ourselves. Perhaps the most basic means we have as of assessing another person's intelligence is to hear them talk. Some of us may conflate depth or breadth of knowledge with intelligence when listening to another. But I think most of us can well enough judge how intelligent a person is by simply listening to what they say about a certain topic. What would we discover if we applied this simple method of intelligence evaluation to top AI models? Imagine a matchup between o3 and 2.5 Pro, each of whom are given 3 minutes to talk about a certain topic or answer a certain question. Imagine these matchups covering various different topics like AI development, politics, economics, philosophy, science and education. That way we could listen to those matchups where they talk about something we are already knowledgeable about, and could more easily judge Such matchups would make great YouTube videos and podcasts. They would be especially useful because most of us are simply not familiar with the various benchmarks that are used today to determine which AI is the most powerful in various areas. These matchups would probably also be very entertaining. Imagine these top two AIs talking about important topics that affect all of us today, like the impact Trump's tariffs are having on the world, the recent steep decline in financial markets, or what we can expect from the 2025 agentic AI revolution. Perhaps the two models can be instructed to act like a politician delivering a speech designed to sway public opinion on a matter where there are two opposing approaches that are being considered. The idea behind this is also that AIs that are closer to AGI would probably be more adept at the organizational, rhetorical, emotional and intellectual elements that go into a persuasive talk. Of course AGI involves much more than just being able to persuade users about how intelligent they are by delivering effective and persuasive presentations on various topics. But I think these speeches could be very informative. I hope we begin to see these head-to-head matchups between our top AI models so that we can much better understand why exactly it is that we consider one of them more intelligent than another. submitted by /u/andsi2asi [link] [comments]
Hello everyone, I'm a PhD student in computer science. One of my PhD projects is about DINO (Distillation with No Label) models. Considering the problems we've encountered in this field, we've developed a new framework. The framework allows you to train both DINOv1 and DINOv2 models. Additionally, trained models are fully compatible with Hugging Face. You can also distill a model from Hugging Face into a smaller model. You can perform all these training processes using either DDP or FSDP for distributed training. If you want, you can fine-tune a model trained with DINOv1 using DINOv2 training code (FSDP or DDP), or vice versa. Furthermore, you can submit all these models to Hugging Face or present a new approach using specially defined augmentation techniques for medical images. We'll also have a GUI design for those who don't fully understand AI training. We're planning to train giant models using this framework. My question is, how useful would such a framework be after graduation, or would it help me find a job? How much interest would it generate or would it provide any reputation? I can't follow the industry due to constant work, and honestly, I have no idea what's happening in the sector. Thank you. submitted by /u/Training-Week6779 [link] [comments]

I know I'm asking for it, but for the last few weeks I've been using chatgpt as an aid to help me with my therapy for depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. I really believed it was giving me logical, impartial, life changing advice. But last night after it gassed me up to reach out to someone who broke my heart, I used its own logic in a new chat with no context, and it shot it full of holes. Pointed it out to the original chat and of course it's "You're totally right I messed up". Every message going forward is "Yeah I messed up". I realised way too late it doesnt give solid advice; it's just a digital hype man in your own personal echo chamber. it takes what you say and regurgitates it with bells and whistles. its quite genius- ofc people love hearing they're own opinions validated. Need help with resumes or recipes or code or other hard to find trivia? sure thing. As an aid for therapy (not a replacement but just even just a compliment to)? youre gonna have a bad time.

I'm training a model based on the original Tango codebase, which combines a VAE with a UNet diffusion model. The original model used single-channel Mel spectrograms, but my data consists of dual-channel Mel spectrograms, so I retrained the VAE. The VAE achieves a validation reconstruction loss of 0.05, which is a great result. I then used this VAE to retrain the UNet. The latent shape is [16, 256, 16]. I modified the channel configuration based on Tango's original model config and experimented with learning rates of 1e-4, 6e-5, 1e-5, 3e-5, 1e-6, and 6e-6. I'm using the AdamW optimizer with either Warmup or linear decay schedulers. However, the validation loss for the UNet stays around 0.8 and doesn't decrease.

How do we know that the Top 3 Voice Recognition Devices like Siri Alexa and Ok Google are not spying on us?
When you ask Siri a question, she gives you an answer. But have you ever stopped to wonder how she knows the answer? After all, she’s just a computer program, right? Well, actually, Siri is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). This means that she constantly learning and getting better at understanding human speech. So when you ask her a question, she uses her ML algorithms to figure out what you’re saying and then provides you with an answer.
So, How do we know that the Top 3 Voice Recognition Devices like Siri Alexa and Ok Google are not spying on us?
The Amazon Echo is a voice-activated speaker powered by Amazon’s AI assistant, Alexa. Echo uses far-field voice recognition to hear you from across the room, even while music is playing. Once it hears the wake word “Alexa,” it streams audio to the cloud, where the Alexa Voice Service turns the speech into text. Machine learning algorithms then analyze this text to try to understand what you want.
But what does this have to do with spying? Well, it turns out that ML can also be used to eavesdrop on people’s conversations. This is why many people are concerned about their privacy when using voice-activated assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Ok Google. However, there are a few things that you can do to protect your privacy. For example, you can disable voice recognition on your devices or only use them when you’re in a private location. You can also be careful about what information you share with voice-activated assistants. So while they may not be perfect, there are ways that you can minimize the risk of them spying on you.
Some applications which have background components, such as Facebook, do send ambient sounds to their data centers for processing. In so doing, they collect information on what you are talking about, and use it to target advertising.
Siri, Google, and Alexa only do this to decide whether or not you’ve invoked the activation trigger. For Apple hardware, recognition of “Siri, …” happens in hardware locally, without sending out data for recognition. The same for “Alexa, …” for Alexa hardware, and “Hey, Google, …” for Google hardware.
Things get more complicated for these three things, when they are installed cross-platform. So, for example, to make “Hey, Google, …” work on non-Google hardware, where it’s not possible to do the recognition locally, yes, it listens. But unlike Facebook, it’s not recording ambient to collect keywords.
Practically, it’s my understanding that the tree major brands don’t, and it’s only things like Facebook which more or less “violate your trust like this. And other than Facebook, I’m uncertain whether or not any other App does this.
You’ll find that most of the terms and conditions you’ve agreed to on installation of a third party App, grant them pretty broad discretion.
Personally, I tend to not install Apps like that, and use the WebUI from the mobile device browser instead.
If you do that, instead of installing an App, you rob them of their power to eavesdrop effectively. Source: Terry Lambert
How do we know that the Top 3 Voice Recognition Devices like Siri Alexa and Ok Google are not spying on us?
Conclusion:
Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) concerned with the design and development of algorithms that learn from data. Machine learning algorithms have been used for a variety of tasks, including voice recognition, image classification, and spam detection. In recent years, there has been growing concern about the use of machine learning for surveillance and spying. However, it is important to note that machine learning is not necessarily synonymous with spying. Machine learning algorithms can be used for good or ill, depending on how they are designed and deployed. When it comes to voice-activated assistants such as Siri, Alexa, and OK Google, the primary concern is privacy. These assistants are constantly listening for their wake words, which means they may be recording private conversations without the user’s knowledge or consent. While it is possible that these recordings could be used for nefarious purposes, it is also important to remember that machine learning algorithms are not perfect. There is always the possibility that recordings could be misclassified or misinterpreted. As such, it is important to weigh the risks and benefits of using voice-activated assistants before making a decision about whether or not to use them.

What is the single most influential book every Programmers should read
There are a lot of books that can be influential to programmers. But, what is the one book that every programmer should read? This is a question that has been asked by many, and it is still up for debate. However, there are some great contenders for this title. In this blog post, we will discuss three possible books that could be called the most influential book for programmers. So, what are you waiting for? Keep reading to find out more!
What is the single most influential book every Programmers should read
What are the concepts every Java C# C++ Python Rust programmer must know?
Ok…I think this is one of the most important questions to answer. According to the my personal experience as a Programmer, I would say you must learn following 5 universal core concepts of programming to become a successful Java programmer.
(1) Mastering the fundamentals of Java programming Language – This is the most important skill that you must learn to become successful java programmer. You must master the fundamentals of the language, specially the areas like OOP, Collections, Generics, Concurrency, I/O, Stings, Exception handling, Inner Classes and JVM architecture.
(2) Data Structures and Algorithms – Programming languages are basically just a tool to solve problems. Problems generally has data to process on to make some decisions and we have to build a procedure to solve that specific problem domain. In any real life complexity of the problem domain and the data we have to handle would be very large. That’s why it is essential to knowing basic data structures like Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, Trees, Heap, Dictionaries ,Hash Tables and Graphs and also basic algorithms like Searching, Sorting, Hashing, Graph algorithms, Greedy algorithms and Dynamic Programming.
(3) Design Patterns – Design patterns are general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design and they are absolutely crucial as hard core Java Programmer. If you don’t use design patterns you will write much more code, it will be buggy and hard to understand and refactor, not to mention untestable and they are really great way for communicating your intent very quickly with other programmers.
(4) Programming Best Practices – Programming is not only about learning and writing code. Code readability is a universal subject in the world of computer programming. It helps standardize products and help reduce future maintenance cost. Best practices helps you, as a programmer to think differently and improves problem solving attitude within you. A simple program can be written in many ways if given to multiple developers. Thus the need to best practices come into picture and every programmer must aware about these things.
(5) Testing and Debugging (T&D) – As you know about the writing the code for specific problem domain, you have to learn how to test that code snippet and debug it when it is needed. Some programmers skip their unit testing or other testing methodology part and leave it to QA guys. That will lead to delivering 80% bugs hiding in your code to the QA team and reduce the productivity and risking and pushing your project boundaries to failure. When a miss behavior or bug occurred within your code when the testing phase. It is essential to know about the debugging techniques to identify that bug and its root cause.
I hope these instructions will help you to become a successful Java Programmer. Here i am explain only the universal core concepts that you must learn as successful programmer. I am not mentioning any technologies that Java programmer must know such as Spring, Hibernate, Micro-Servicers and Build tools, because that can be change according to the problem domain or environment that you are currently working on…..Happy Coding!
Summary: There’s no doubt that books have had a profound influence on society and the advancement of human knowledge. But which book is the most influential for programmers? Some might say it’s The Art of Computer Programming, or The Pragmatic Programmer. But I would argue that the most influential book for programmers is CODE: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software. In CODE, author Charles Petzold takes you on a journey from the basics of computer hardware to the intricate workings of software. Along the way, you learn how to write code in Assembly language, and gain an understanding of how computers work at a fundamental level. If you’re serious about becoming a programmer, then CODE should be at the top of your reading list!

I joined this company in my hometown. It's a pretty good fintech and has almost no competition within the state. However, the technology they are using is really outdated. They use VB.NET for most of it. They do not use git or any version control at all, and rather, keep a separate copy of the project at every step! When they make changes in the code, they comment out the old code, and because of it, even though the code shouldn't be that big, it still contains 10s of 1000s of lines of code. The software is good functionally, but UI is crap. It's too heavy for what it should be doing(it's a tax filing software). Has too many unnecessary features. Heck, even their testing procedure is not industry standard! They just have 2 tests called, Pretest and Final test. Theres something called DM test, but idk what that is. They have all these 3-4 heavy VB apps that, basically, achieve the same thing. They are OBSESSED with excel. Their documentations are in excel. Why, even global variables are in excel!! They are HYPER organised and have too many unnecessary data of everything. Until yesterday, they were even using skype!! It's like, they do not WANT to move to something else. They are OBSESSED with Excel and tables. Every frickin thing is done in excel or their stupid VB apps with tables that has 100s of columns. All their apps look like they have come out of the 90s and are so heavy and slow. I hate it!! But I have already signed a bond of 1 and a half years, breaking which, they will keep my security deposit of 63k INR (approx 738 USD). Should I just leave the company and look for some BootCamp or something? Will the experience help me at all? Do I go to a city with lots of companies(Silicon Valley, like Bengaluru) and join one? I do have an opportunity to join as a DevOps engineer in a startup nearby. There's also an opening at Cognizant. I was confused. PLEASE HELP submitted by /u/shadow_drive2003 [link] [comments]
This is a passion project of mine that I've been working on since local AI models were first released a couple years ago. It allows you to run LLM, voice and art models. You can create chatbots, sketch and turn those into art etc. It's written with pure python and uses hugginface, llamaindex and pyside6. The packaged version can be downloaded and run by non-technical users. submitted by /u/w00fl35 [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, I did a project that is a instrumentation-based tracer/profiler that allows you to get a timeline of your system execution with really good time resolution. While there are many tools around that do similar things, this one I'm proud of because it allows you to achieve very low overhead, even like 8 nanoseconds per event gathered (as an example, function body call would need two such events, one to mark entry and second to mark exit). This work was initially done as part of my job, but my company made its version open source so finally I can redistribute my own, company-agnostic, version of it. Why it's cool and how can it help you? If you have some multithreaded application that has very very tight work being done there (on few microseconds level) with various dependencies between those threads, analysing performance issues can be very hard because sampling profiler won't tell you everything due to averaging everything, and manual instrumentation based on standard functionality can be simply too slow to keep some phenomena happening during profiling, causing performance Heisenbugs, kinda. Additional thing that make this stand out - it's just 3 files you need to include in your project to start running. It's very lightweight and easy (well, if you're advanced) to understand. I guess it raises its educational value, because you can easily get a grasp of what is going on, and learn something neat about assembly code even if you don't want to actually use it. I created an article that is mentioned in the readme in which I tried to explain why some things are done that way and not the other. Of course it's not ideal, it is not portable (only supports modern x64 CPUs and modern Windows/Ubuntu OSes) and it is not written in very clean way as some of the stuff could really be cleaned up without breaking the performance, so while I believe it has tons of educational value, clean code is not part of this value 😛 You have been warned. One day I'm planning to also make another article, something like code walkthrough for less advanced readers, but I need to find some time to do it... I hope you like it, enjoy! submitted by /u/justmyrandomusername [link] [comments]

In contrast, real experts know when to sound confident, and when to let others know they’re at the boundaries of their knowledge. Experts know, and can describe, the boundaries of what they know.
Building large language models that can accurately decide when to be confident and when not to will reduce their risk of misinformation and build trust.
