I don't think it's going to be about a single prompt; reverse engineering multiple prompts interacting with themselves is hard. There's a lot of cool things to be done with:

(a) creating a pipeline of prompts that combine outputs of previous prompts into new prompts in a predefined manner

and (b) designing prompts to generate other prompts

It completely ignores the fact that a controlling interest in the company is held in shares that are, in the short-term, practically unbuyable (i.e. Larry and Sergey Brin aren't in the market to sell, period).
Huh, this is an interesting take to me. I'd say that my using Spotify has definitely increased the amount of "bad" music I listen to, but it has _drastically_ increased the amount of amazing, life-changing music I find. There are _so_ many artists I enjoy now because Spotify threw them in my Discover Weekly. By increasing the sheer amount of music I listen to, thanks to Spotify, I've increased the number of bands I love that I stumble upon, and bands I hate. It's a net win though, because I forget the shit stuff, but really, really cherish the gold I find.

I'm just surprised that you feel it's _harder_ to find good music because of Spotify.
> if you're using the Dropwizard Metrics library, for example, you've already lost.

Can you go into a bit more detail here? Curious to know where Dropwizzard goes wrong.

I prefer to use the Prometheus client libraries where possible. Prometheus' data model is "richer" -- metric families and labels, rather than just named metrics. Adapting from Dropwizzard to Prometheus is a pain, and never results in the data feeling "native" to Prometheus.
The way that 70% is counted is a huge scam
TikTok has been caught violating COPPA. One of my kids recently signed up for TikTok without any age verification using their Android Google account, which then shares their email address with TikTok which is clear violation of COPPA. Nothing is being done to prevent this. TikTok actively caters to underage youth and most of the community is about producing provocative dance videos. In the end, TikTok is full of underage kids being provocative and is a cesspool and playground for pedophiles.
Yeah, I would absolutely be okay with this if it meant i could legitimately get rid of my vehicle, ride transit reliably, reduce my emissions. It would probably mean a net decrease in my expenses.
I think this is why lots of people are unhappy nowadays. Think about life in a small community. It’s easy to be the guy who is special because he’s the best at baking, or juggling, or playing an instrument, or telling stories. Whatever it is. Wanting to be especially good at something and recognised for it seems like a pretty basic human need to me. How is anyone going to feel special now when everyone’s seen a hundred YouTube videos of people doing your special thing infinitely better than you ever will? No wonder people get addicted to ‘fake specialness’ at work. Relationships can also make people feel special. But the nagging feeling that you’re not REALLY special may remain...
Right, but we have the ability to vote him out of office. We don't have the same oversight of the content the Chinese Communist Party wants to put in the minds of young Americans, besides banning the app.

"- All universities are not created equal. While it is possible (and even common) for employers to pay too much attention to the reputation of the school, it is also quite common for students to over-estimate the value of a no-name institution. I've found this to be moreso the case in the two European countries I've lived in for an extended period of time (France & England)."

From what I've seen over the last decade, this is incredibly true in the United States, particularly with the rise of for-profit schools offering online degrees.

"Oh? Where from?"

"I think it's the University of Phoenix."

"Ok.")
I don't know if you're seeing an accurate sample of HN opinion because of the "101" effect where every thread turns into a low-quality FAQ.
As an acquaintance of mine put it the other day on this exact topic (who happens to be a writer/graphic artist/programmer):

"First STEM says that the humanities are worthless. Then they say how, really, STEM should get all that glory too because, really, it's the same thing -- but better."

Or this quote:

"Great paintings, for example, get you laid in a way that great computer programs never do. Even not-so-great paintings - in fact, any slapdash attempt at splashing paint onto a surface - will get you laid more than writing software, especially if you have the slightest hint of being a tortured, brooding soul about you. For evidence of this I would point to my college classmate Henning, who was a Swedish double art/theatre major and on most days could barely walk."

I have difficulty maintaining a stance in the OOP vs. FP debate. Like, all I see in my day-to-day is OOP, so I know what good, production-ready OOP looks like, but I've never an equivalent for FP. Would be nice to see a before/after article, i.e. an OOP app refactored into FP, talking about why the latter is better.

Yes, but this is not possible in general. For instance, what if you want to endow your List with a "MaxTotalCost", set at creation. You can't ensure that your list respects that invariant, other than by encapsulating it behind some custom interface.

> It's entirely possible for somebody relatively lacking in technical ability and/or any great insight into their craft to produce something wonderful.

100% that. Thom Yorke (Radiohead singer) has composed dozens of godly songs without even being able to read the notes (in fact, his band members are calling him the idiot savant and are asking him NOT to learn the notes at this point, as it might spoil the magic). Tricky composed some good songs without being able to read notes OR play any instrument.
In short, only American companies can have access to the brains of Americans.

There is no law to prohibit an app of being used in US, and there is no evidence TikTok broke any existing law operating within US. All the talking point being so far is because it's a chinese company.

This is literally how black people was treated.

It's interesting to see how protectionism change the country brand of equal business opportunity and spirit of the law.
I use TikTok a lot (there are >1M combined views on my videos) and I've never heard of it. A lot of good TikTokers from before the app really took off went to Byte (made by the dudes that made Vine) and it seems like Byte is the logical successor.

I expect most users will migrate eventually. TikTok had its charms because it was completely mismanaged. The discover feed had a mix between popular (>1M likes) and very unpopular (1-30 likes) videos and very odd videos, like someone slowly crushing a hornet to death inside a syringe, get popular often. Microsoft tends to have a "digital gentrification" effect on the services they take over; for example, when they bought Minecraft, they stopped adding `- removed Herobrine` to update logs. To a lot of fans it showed a lack of respect to the game and its culture. Many older players even refuse to play any Microsoft-created Minecraft versions because they changed a lot of core gameplay mechanics.

This same effect will probably hit their acquisition of TikTok. They'll make it so pro-equality posts make it to the feed more often (TikTok has a semi-4chan-ish culture around its humor rather than an "accepting" environment, though a minority of users are actually bigoted), polish the horrid UX, make good video effects rather than the very odd choices available now, and I expect they'll make it so videos can be longer (the default length is 15 seconds but you can make videos up to 60). This would ruin TikTok. The limitations imposed by TikTok's designers are crucial for fostering creativity (in my opinion, but I've made literally hundreds of videos on the platform). Without them, TikTok is just another video app.

One more thing- most TikTok users despise America. America, to the youth, is a rich bastard bully of a country with military bases across the world despite no other country having bases in America. They believe being spied on by China is preferable to being spied on by America; if you're spied on by China, what are they gonna do, try to send you propaganda? If you're spied on by America and they don't like you, they just send cops in plainclothes to your house to shoot you, and the cops don't even get charged. Even if Microsoft doesn't hurt TikTok, TikTok's further association with America alone will be enough to make users move.
The real problem is when you and another person have a different working definition of something "everyone is clear and agrees on" and make plans or agreements around the assumption of shared definition. The way you will find out will not be fun.
Right, but it's still pretty disastrous if the attacker succeeds in tricking you into connecting to their machine, so you still need to verify the server's fingerprint.

It's almost like the problem is wanting to be special? Stoicism and tangential philosophies are more critically important than ever, in my opinion. I've also found a great deal of benefit from not participating in social media.

EDIT: There's a related and quite important concept in the contemporary well-being discourse often referred to as 'the dispassionate pursuit of passion [or success]'. I think many of the people who show up on HN would benefit from understanding it. Choosing to not desire being special is not the same thing as being inert. There is a balancing point. Here's a resource (albeit maybe a bit too self-helpy) that talks about this: https://www.happinessacademy.eu/blog-en/the-6th-happiness-si....
Rents are high in SF because there is extremely high demand for those apartments at high prices, because they allow access to high incomes. The value of living in SF for a random serivce worker is not increased by them getting a $2k UBI cheque, it is decreased. For the tech workers driving the demand, $2k a month is not going to do much to change the value they assign to housing in SF either way. So I do not see how the UBI cheques would increase demand, and therefore rent, for housing in SF.
I kind of disagree with this. The geometry implications are incidental (extremely interesting and useful, but incidental nonetheless). If you only understand complex numbers from a visual standpoint, you're going to be very confused when we go to (hypercomplex) number systems with > 3 dimensions.
Not just invariants, covariants as well.

State and zip code always change together. Having had to fix code that passed 5 variables around for an address (which needed to go to 6 for “address 2”) I replaced it with an address object.

Tuition in France is basically free from what I understood. Even if students over-evaluate the value of the school, the fact that it's free still makes it attractive. And I think that some universities are teaching only (no research) no?
The CEO and cofounder has gone on record (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/12/05/tiktok-..., linking to a parent source https://chinamediaproject.org/2018/04/11/tech-shame-in-the-n...) pledging that he'd run the company in accordance with socialist values and the principles of Xi Jinping Thought. The degree of financial relationship is unknown and probably unknowable, but it seems clear that ByteDance feels obligated to behave how the government wants.

Oh yeah it's definitely debatable if tax revenue would have grown faster in a counterfactual without the cuts, but that debate is orthogonal to the point you were making about "blowing up the federal budget", which is strictly a function of receipts and outlays. If the receipts increased, then the budgets woes are clearly a result of increased outlays.

Federal tax receipts as a % of GDP has been largely flat since WW2:

There are lots of restrictions on identifying minors charged with crimes, but they apply to court documents, not to the media.
It doesn't work for a streaming service which charges a flat rate - which is the point.

Spotify is not the same as Netflix etc, because Netflix etc is commissioning and promoting new work - something Spotify has no interest in.

So... you sell units, not streams. You buy a perpetual license to play a unit as many times as you want. The artist gets a royalty for the unit sale. This frontloads income around unit release, which encourages new creation, but units generate a perpetual royalty stream as part of the artist's back catalog, so artists are less likely to starve.

Preview streams are available for free as tasters. Or perhaps a full taster can be played X times before it has to be bought.

The player is tied to an app, but most music is now consumed on phones or in a web player, so DRM is irrelevant and there is no real loss of convenience.

This model worked (more or less) for decades.

The point is popular creators should be paid for full-time work. That's how you get the best work from artists.

And it's not as if the economy can't support this. Operating in any other way is entirely down to politics, not economics.
They were replying on the subject of whether targeted ads are effective or not. Whether they should be allowed is a different matter, but while companies are collecting your data it's not reasonable to ask advertisers to disadvantage themselves against competition by not using the marketing options with the highest ROI.

Send your complaints to politicians, not ad buyers.

(Disclaimer: I've spent millions - not my own money - on ads in my career. I'd support better privacy regulations to prevent some of the targeting I've been able to use.)
Why would I care if you can't use marketing psychology dark patterns to take advantage of me to give you money? It seems like watching this industry fail would be better for my well being.

A lot of the bug bounty programs don't pay as well as using exploits to steal money. Some estimates put this particular breach at having netted upwards of $120k.

I don't think I've ever seen a bug bounty that high. The highest I've ever heard of or see documentation describing is in the range of $40k.

If you don't think you'll get caught, why would you take the $40k instead of tripling that?

>Making forgiveness contingent on someone elses action removes your own agency.

says who? Never said forgiveness is a gift. You you have to earn it. One has to be deserving of it. In fact what everyone seems to be saying here makes it sound like it should be a gift, given with no conditions.
Absolutely, and that's something I'm very grateful for! One of the things I love the most about where I live is the excellent library system, and I have taken a ton of advantage of it. That said, it's not always the best for serious self study, since often books lack answer keys or worked solutions.

I'm not proposing distance ed. I'm proposing that we shape education around automating the rote things, in particular delivering lectures. I don't think the main benefit of being on campus is the lectures or coming up with assignments, instead (as another comment noted) it's the peers and the people you interact with and how they help you learn. And so by automating away the rote part of it and focusing on the creative (research, TAing, peer interaction), it seems like we should be able to create better outcomes.

Hell, they could be currently compliant and it still wouldn't be worth the effort to figure that out.
The one thing I don't get is, there are a lot of machines out there that would gain a lot from specialized search hardware (think about Prolog acceleration engines, but lower level). For a start, every database server (SQL or NoSQL) would benefit.

It is also hardware that is similar to ML acceleration, it needs better integer and boolean (algebra, not branching) support, and has a stronger focus on memory access (that ML acceleration also needs, but gains less from). So how comes nobody even speak about this?
The interchange is higher, sure, but that still goes to the issuing bank. Working with schemes still involves separate fees, as does processing and acquiring.
I don't really understand your point, you don't have to use it to generate the next sentence or paragraph of your story. You can it directly to generate ideas for what comes next by asking it to complete a summarization of the plot.
Is this even mentioned in the article? I was reading and reading and thinking "this is all moot, you can't do anything with GPT-3 because you can't run it yourself". Seeing how much money this level of AI is worth, I think OpenAI's incentives are skewed at best at this point.
Fair enough, I suppose it depends on how broad your categories are.

Personally, I absolutely consider YouTube a video-based social network.
You follow people/brands, have at timeline, can contribute comments on what they post, etc.

It doesn't tend to have as broad a social graph as something like FB, but almost nothing does.
Twitter (for example) also has a large number of popular public accounts, similar to YouTube.
A little off-topic, but when thinking about the reasoning behind OOP, in particular how it shows up in C++ and the C++-influences in other languages, I think it is worth looking at how large-scale C projects (OpenSSL, Gnome, etc.) organize their code:
long prefixes in front of function names
complex structs with lots of function pointers
complicated macros for code generation

These directly relate to some of the core features of C++ like namespaces, virtual functions, and templates.

I think this perspective makes the differences between C++ style object orientation and Smalltalk style object orientation understandable.
I've tried it for a little bit and it was great!

What's the point of having different sentencing for minors if you can just try them as an adult if they're "bad enough"?
The problem with lookibg at bad X code and concluding X is bad is that X can be anything.

It's true that bad OO code suffers of different problems than bad FP code, and both are different from bad procedural code. But there is no guarantee that an organization which produced bad OO code would have produced good FP code, just as there was never a reason to imagine (though many did) that an organization that produced bad procedural code would produce good OO code if forced to switch to OO.

In general, there is no solver bullet. We can absolutely replace the problems specific to bad OO code with problems specific to bad FP code if we move from OO to FP, but we cant be sure of any other outcome.

More likely than not, we need to change more than the style of code we build if we want to take an org that has produced bad code and make it produce good code - we should change incentives, testing, goals, timelines etc.

And just to be clear, you're absolutely right that saying 'that's not good OO code' is no-true-Scotsman and not helpful in any way, other than pointing out that it is possible to produce good OO code (some people doubt that, I think).

Because music isn't plain engineering.

Some artists have one piece that is great for a wide audience and all of their other stuff is only for select listeners.(aka one hit wonders)

If all 'closed' companies would support Linux as well as NVIDIA does then I would throw a party. Keep in mind that they don't have to open up their stuff. Instead, they support it to the hilt and as long as I've been using Linux and Nvidia together (2006 or so) they've never let me down.
