But you have to go out of your way to do that, which means it will not be done by any meaningful number of people, which means that Amazon sees a benefit in it being as it is. Or else at least doesn't see enough benefit in fixing it.

They may have the statistics to prove it, I still order from them and I have definitely gotten counterfeit goods but they've also consistently refunded my order when it gets messed up. Maybe they figure that the cost of fixing it is higher than the cost of replacing the item for the fraction of customers that notice.
I suppose I could, seeing the community via /r/all doesn’t really make me want to get invested though. Maybe I’m missing out on some gems but I’ve got plenty of things to keep my attention as it is.
No, it means we need to learn how to prompt, and maybe future versions need to be more self guarded. If you prompt GPT-3 properly it can detect nonsense questions. Nonsense detection should be more efficient in future versions, also detecting inflammatory content (currently being tested in the GPT console).

What I would like to see is a larger training corpus that also includes all the supervised NLP datasets (translation, numerical and symbolic math, programming from prompts, all sorts of linguistic and logic tasks, and any of thousands of tasks we could conceive...) The end result would be a GPT that excels in all these sub-tasks while remaining general. It's a matter of making the training data better and model larger. Btw, we could teach GPT to detect bias, explain it and rewrite the text. I expect no huge hurdles on this task.

Another thing I would like to see is some sort of kNN memory to enlarge the context to any size, acting like a semantic search engine inside the model. We should be able to build more interesting applications if we could put much more initial data in the prompt.

Basically make the base model larger, augment the corpus with many tasks and enlarge the prompt capacity.
I think all emotional states can be triggered electrochemichally for arbitrary durations.

The reason all humans aren't like the manic people mentioned in the article is that it's not an evolutionary stable strategy. They hoard, steal, flirt too much and cooperation cannot happen.

Which brings me to a scary question - what stops a future radical extremist from capturing enemies and triggering the most extreme pain that no one has ever felt before with electrodes? Or gene editing millions of babies to be in constant extreme pain for their whole lifetime, without limbs or senses to be able to change anything (inspired by Metallica - One)?
But they mentioned that they wanted to use C++ instead of go to get even that extra performance out.

I use Caddy a lot and it's perfectly fine for my scale, but at dropbox's scale, maybe go wouldn't be enough for the ingress part?
It is easy enough for simple cases (and we used it for quite a while, until we moved to using Lua for that.) For more complex scenarios you will have new `server` blocks, certificates, tls tickets, log files / syslog endpoints, so the automation will end up interacting not with just a single dynamic upstream file but with rather large amount of system interfaces. Control-plane ends up being distributed between config generation, filesystem state, service configuration (e.g. syslog.)

On a more practical note, each nginx `reload` will double the number of workers, almost doubling memory consumption and significantly increasing CPU usage (need to re-establish all TCP connections, re-do TLS handshake, etc.) So there is only that many reloads that you can do in an hour.

There's definitely some people for whom these are legitimately just hobbies and if they make some money for it then great, sure. But for those people it's not really a problem if they don't get paid, they'll almost certainly continue to create anyway.
I am with you, also feel that HN has kind of turned into Slashdot of the yearly days.

On a website that started to discuss business ideas and how to turn them into profitable endeavours, it is a bit surreal that every time someone brings commercial products out, one gets endless posts about free beer alternatives and how such software is doing a disservice to the community.
Preparing for malicious internal employees seems to me like preparing for "the big one," in the northwest.

Do a cursory amount of preparation. Outside of basic measures, you're probably doing more harm to the business than good. The likelihood of internal malicious attackers is very low in the grand scheme of things, and the attack surface is huge.

Most companies are going to be compromised by outside attackers—its there that you should focus your energy. If internal attackers are your biggest threat, you've done a fantastic job.

There isn't a company in the world (except maybe Microsoft, with Outlook, and Azure to build on) who are in a position to even think about stepping in to replace Google's biggest services, and the businesses that are built on, and integrate with, them. Even with a year's notice, let alone overnight.

I think you're drastically underestimating the scale (and number - you missed Google Maps, which is bordering on an essential service) of these systems, the degree to which people rely on them - both businesses and individuals - and the difficulty of replacing them.

If Google failed overnight it would be a macro-economically significant event.
> Doesn't seem likely though - contagion more or less involves some kind of symptom (sneezing, coughing, etc) and it's hard to imagine a body developing a really high viral load or bacterial population without becoming feverish.

AFAIU, the profile depends on the class of virus, though obviously not all hosts behave similarly. Evolutionary strategies differ.

From the MIT COVID-19 page (https://medical.mit.edu/faqs/COVID-19):

> evidence indicates that people who are infected with 2019-nCoV may be at their most contagious in the 48–72 hours before symptoms are noticeable. In addition, it is now estimated that up to 25 percent of infected individuals remain asymptomatic and may unwittingly infect others.

Knowing what we know now about significant aerosol transmission from merely speaking, it should be obvious now that coughing or sneezing isn't a prerequisite for highly contagious respiratory viruses. It should have been obvious before as we already knew that viral host reservoirs often remain asymptomatic. Bats, for example, are common reservoirs for respiratory viruses because a) they roost in dense groups, b) have strong selective pressure for consistently high function (flight is exhausting), and c) they've evolved immune systems that can handle a high viral load (a consequence of (a) and (b)), so don't often exhibit symptoms. I would presume many bird species make good reservoirs for similar reasons, though birds aren't mammals, which might complicate jumping to humans.

IIRC, a friend of mine, who had been researching rhinoviruses for several years at the time, explained to me that the coughing and sneezing fits from some types of cold viruses are caused by viral fragments rather than primary infection, in such cases symptoms peak at the tail-end of infection as fragments build up, and the fits might even be incidental/accidental from an evolutionary perspective. Some human cold viruses are specialized to infect children, who usually exhibit no symptoms or, at worst, a runny nose (again, latter might be incidental). Asymptomatic respiratory infections run rampant among children.
I agree. That's the greatest priority for making money from this technology. Thanks for the reply!

> If I’ve gotten counterfeits they were certainly of the quality i was expecting from the brand name and I really don’t care, that’s the free marketplace baby, capitalism at full health.

A free market, by definition, has full transparency; if you can unwittingly get a counterfeit, it's not a free market.
Not really. It works on the timescale that specific causes are affecting the genepool. Europeans with below average immune systems were removed from the gene pool virtually overnight by the black death. Native Americans famously never had the 'benefit' of this event.

Similarly, there was an enormous selective pressure on Black slaves in the Americas, so it's certainly possible some effects took only a generation to be reflected in the gene pool.

However, when it comes to intelligence, no strong evidence exists saying it is genetically predetermined. Culture and rolemodel of parents are far greater determinants, implying selective pressure is unlikely to affect the general intelligence of a subgroup.
Even if we ignore the typical answer of finding information in library.

Even as a Search Engine, Google was miles ahead of its competitors during its early days. Yahoo, AltaVista, and plenty of smaller ones like Ask.com..... They were crap.

I dont like Google since the day they said they do no Evil. But there is no way I can ignore the Impact Google has to the Internet and the world.
Probably not. Humans are still playing Jeopardy and chess despite losing dominance in those games a long time ago.

Two years ago there were definitely GPXes for that route on RideWithGPS - I don't know if https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13794818 (2016) was the one I followed or not, but it looks like it would work.

(Also, it's well-signposted, and in any case the whole point of the route is to follow the biggest river in Europe, you don't need a lot of navigational aids).

You know, I am getting tired of all this. I am a white dude and just reading the media it seems like I should either die or give away everything just because of my race and gender.

These same people, who are whining about someone saying "all lives matter", don't mind calling themselves "comrades". We've had communism in my country for circa 40 years. I might as well start complaining that they are using "comrade", because my parents suffered under the regime. Mind you the regime was toppled some 30 years ago, and unlike slavery in the US, there are millions of people who lived through it and are still alive.

So to sum it up; I was somewhat moderate. And now since the whole circus started, I feel attacked from all sides for something I cannot change. That makes me want to support the whole cause less, and in fact start doing something against it, because if now I am supposed to write "Black people" with capital B, but "white people" with lower-case W, I keep wondering where this will all end.
Thanks! Full disclosure -- it is my first advertisement, ever, so I'm glad you liked it :)

I would challenge the assumption that this is purely advertisement, though. In my head, this is not "buy our shit™" type of post -- in fact, there's no mention of buying the subscription anywhere. All there is is a link to a demo, with a valid challenge (not a fizzbuzz/fibonacci, but one you can actually have a lot of fun with), which we provide for free to anyone, w/o even requiring valid email -- it is up to you if you don't wanna reset the password later. Instead, the post is more of a "use the right metric -- here's our experience and what has worked for us" type of post.

Would you agree that this is a more fair assessment?
> On the other hand if every service you use has its own authentication...

This would be a nightmare for the people managing any nontrivial system. There are good reasons to use something like Active Directory and tie systems and applications to it for easier policy enforcement and management. There are good reasons to avoid this centralization for certain things too. Either extreme would be an exercise in frustration.
I can’t tell if this is trolling or a serious comment of how this will roll out?
Yeah I grew up with A500. I loved that machine. It came with a paper BASIC reference manual. It was years before I worked out what it’s purpose was. Once I did though, I was hooked,

I tried AMOS basic, though this was a little difficult because of patchy intel. No YouTube tutorials to learn from. Only books from the library or AmigaFormat magazines. Blitz basic was easier and I had some better tutorials. I progressed to writing my own games.

When I finally moved to PC I picked up rudimentary C++ to write a game, I managed but but it was difficult. Then pascal at school. Java at university. Now it’s my day job. JavaScript was learned on the job.

On the side I’ve learned groovy, scala, kotlin, go, rust.

I’ve now been a software dev for 16 years professionally and have started a consultancy this year.

All pretty much thanks to the Amiga. That machine was an Xmas present, I almost got a Nintendo instead. I sometimes wonder how different my life would have been!

I see learning to play an instrument as a self improvement exercise. It's a process. There's a lag between our hands and our ears. It's easy for the ears to know a "good" song. It's hard for the hands to play a good song. To play a song well is to bridge the skill gap of the hands. When you can play a song well, you "complete" a task. The process improves our skills and our cognition. We can recognize "good" from "not so good". Overtime, it can improve our baloney detector. It improves self awareness. You know when you suck. And you know if you work diligently, you'd be able to improve. I think it's a valuable skill. It's more important than high SAT or IQ scores.

> Sure, you want the government to step in and outlaw Google.

No. I want the government to step in and break up Google into distinct business units. That doesn't mean outlawing Google at all.
> The dominant form of racism, invented in Europe and exported all over the world via colonization and slavery, is built on the concept of a biologically superior "white" race.

That sounds like bullshit honestly. I haven't seen any evidence that white people specifically have "invented" racism instead of being a position of power for the most part. There's plenty of evidence that racism existed throughout the history in all parts of the worlds and all the races are susceptible to it, it's just white ppl historically ended up being on top for the most part.

To suggest that non-white people are somehow different and could not have possibly be racist or "invent" racism is to deny human nature and perpetuate the myth that the color of your skin makes you special albeit in a negative way in this case, and therefore is racist.

> In the United States specifically, Black people are in a special position, because their very existence as a group is the result of colonization and slavery. Their existence is a physical reminder of the racist origins of the US. And the injustice they continue to endure in the United States today - including of course police violence, but also housing discrimination, discrimination in the workplace, excessive incarceration, restricted voting rights, restricted access to healthcare and education, etc. - are a reminder of the fact that racism is still, today, deeply embedded in US institutions.

I like how readily every measurable statistically significant difference between races is readily attributed to racism without any attempt to explore multiple other possible explanations. Sure, the only possibly reason that the racial minority that that has been historically economically disadvantaged and repressed from advancing over generations has been poorer educated, engaged in more crime and less economically involved today would be racism.
>I’m pretty sure nothing from Samsung, Motorola or HTC that's 4 or 5 years-old can run this year's Android release. Or even last year's.

At least android phones can still download apps from the google app store, older iOS devices are just cut off. I have a perfectly good original iPad that's basically useless. The iPad 4 is similarly useless.

>My last machine was a 10-year old 27-inch iMac that I still use as a server.

My current workstation is 10 years old, running Windows 10 like a champ. It's got one of the first 6-core CPUs in it, a recent graphics card, and 32GB of RAM which I may upgrade to 64GB because it's cheap - I have no real reason to get a new workstation, this thing is still running circles around most recent quad-core systems. Your 10 year old mac wishes it were this capable.

I feel really sorry for anyone buying a mac now, since they will be obsolete as soon as the ARM macs are out.

100% of my product searches start on amazon. Only after something isn't coming up (or I'm searching a name brand) do I exit amazon.

After a couple of disastrous shipping problems outside of amazon (lost money, no recourse), I've come to trust amazon.

Recently a USPS package (from amazon) showed up 1 month late, with most of the contents missing (DVDs all gone). Called amazon, quickly resolved and reshipped. No lingering bad feelings, no drama, no extra work, no litigation - amazon just resolved it and I am good.

I had amazon prime, but I asked to cancel before the year was up post-covid since I definitely wasn't getting 2-day shipping. Instead they refunded my entire year of prime service.

Amazon is not perfect, but I give them my money, they give me value and I have a good relationship with them.

Just speculation, but there are motives to not use the closed source version beyond purely profits driven point of view. One of the prime benefits of OSS is that you have the power to change it whenever necessary. If something is breaking bad- you might not have the luxury of waiting on support to track down and fix your problem. If you don’t need the features of the paid version- then using the paid version is actually limiting your options.
