ugurnot··on Ask HN: Do you use food as a performance enhancing drug when coding?
I'm not sure if that helps, but you can switch to various fruits like kiwis, blueberries and blackberries instead of processed food. It can help you modulate your habit of eating while working.
ugurnot··on Auditory illusions with examples from Daft Punk
It is not the vocoder but the guitar riff that sounds like robot rock.
ugurnot··on Auditory illusions with examples from Daft Punk
The tone I'm referring to is the alternation between F#3 and F#4. I think your observation about the Shepard tone is valid. For the talking piano effect, I remember trying to play it on guitar to make it sound like "Robot Rock". I suspect this is in relation to Tethard's example of accentuation by spectral contrast, but that was a long shot to include.

Well, the audio area is full of masters and experts. I make no claim to be an expert, so you can ignore this writing as you prefer.

You are right. That part seems a little bit vague, I will update it.
ugurnot··on Statement on EU-US Cooperation on Turning Public Opinion Against Encryption
"Manifacturing Consent" is a book written by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky. They discuss the propaganda model of communication in much broader sense.
ugurnot··on The Mullvad Browser
I hope there will be a mobile version too at some point.
ugurnot··on ChatGPT has trouble giving an answer before explaining its reasoning
I evaluated ChatGPT on Winogrande Debiased validation set[1], a dataset focused on commonsense reasoning. ChatGPT has an accuracy of 62.75%, below GPT-3's reported accuracy of 77.7%.

ugurnot··on The scourge of job title inflation
There are people who join to chess tournaments in small countries, just to obtain the GM or IM titles. Those titles are hard to obtain in bigger tournaments. Not the same thing, but they belong to the same cluster.
ugurnot··on Tell HN: You can apparently get GPT-3 to cough up its own source code
Having a consistent output to same input is something. I have done a couple of experiments starting with same sentence and each time it was a little bit nuanced. I would be interested if the answer is the same for a targeted question. Still, it would be better not to draw conclusions early.

Is it just me or did they just close the chat.openai.com endpoint?
ugurnot··on Tell HN: ChatGPT can reply like a specific Reddit or HN user, including you
One can condition the ChatGPT to act as someone and speak to a known another character. You can see my trial on https://www.ugu.rs/blog/chomsky-baudrillard-as-chatgpt/

You can do that to anyone, although the more unique the person is, the better the conversation. More or less, ChatGPT can be conditioned and change behaviour with respect to given set of instructions. Write "gossip about someone" and it will do that.

ugurnot··on Hunting down the similar words between Japanese and Turkish
Thanks for the input, I was not sure about the 「大きい」either, it is better to remove it. However, for doushi, there is another noun「同志」. Is「同志」a suffix too?
ugurnot··on Firefox 82
Is there anyone who gets 'Your browser is out of date' type of notification on slack in Firefox, windows 10. I can open slack app on linux with Firefox, but for Windows, slack insists that Firefox is out of date and I should use another browser instead.
ugurnot··on The fake reporter wanted to know about our software
This story is as fake as the 'fake reporter'. Maybe we should also call the police for this
ugurnot··on Brain-Gut Circuit Lets Microbiota Directly Affect the Sympathetic Nervous System
I wouldn't get suprised if some other behavioral patterns can be explained by the gut-brain relation.

One of the protest footage was actually from Turkey when they mention excessive police brutality at China.
