> The article made the number one spot at Hacker News. If Porr, a single student at UC Berkeley, managed to fool everyone with an AI-written piece, what could groups of people with malicious intent do?

> One thing is to spread fake news, another, very different thing is to spread fake news that can’t be reliably distinguished from other human-written articles. And that’s exactly what GPT-3 is capable of, also recognized — and even highlighted — by OpenAI:

This article doesn't get it at all.

They are believing OpenAI's bullshit as well.

Porr's AI article was garbage (Amazing performance art by Porr, and HN failed (flagged) in it's response, but it's a new field - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24062702 and the followup response was a little disappointing - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24164470)

Porr's original AI article was meaningless(but structured) words. You could not get anything from it.

So what the fuck do they mean by fool? Fake news wtf. HN used it as a jumping board to talk about the topic, and mostly from the title, as is very often the case. The article changed no ones view, it takes intelligence to fake news (and be racist) which OpenAI doesn't have.

As we have seen it is good to get karma and link juice so it is good for bots and fooling intrusion detection systems. That is the reality. Its only use is for Russian bot armies. And that is worth a lot of money.

This AI bot has been fooling HN for a while - https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=082349872349872 But not changing discourse through conversation, but it could be through voting now it has the Karma and look of a real account.
At this point, it's obvious this is deliberate.
You'd have to be using these terms in a non-standard way, for that to be true. Some common forms of libertarianism are under the umbrella of liberalism, or part of its family, if you like, but they are not identical.

Only in California. The same state that decriminalized shoplifting so that people can just walk out of supermarkets with a cart full of groceries they didn't pay for and the police do nothing.
Agreed! It’s in a terrible vial and loose syringe from what I saw in pics. Completely inappropriate for people. But if you were to measure it out on a sub-gram scale, I’m not sure I see the problem -assuming- there are nothing else bad like bacteria or harmful chemicals.

Not exactly sure why people think it's so remarkable to have things working correctly in Linux on the same hardware other OEMs use. CPUs these days are more SOCs than they ever have been and both Intel and AMD are pretty good at making sure support is in the kernel.

Installing Linux and getting things running like Steam has less steps than Windows 10. It's not a remarkable achievement anymore. You don't even need to touch the command line. Open Software Center, search for Steam, click the Install button. Done.

First thank you for the clarification.

I'm going to do something never before done on the internet and change my position. I think you've convinced me that there is a difference.

Though I'm not sold that in most matters of practicality it would have that much of an impact because if I'm able to compel you to give me X through something like "a valid legal procedure" then I at least had a claim to ownership of X to begin with, which I can use to get possession of X and full ownership, in your sense, of X. It just took me a few extra steps instead of a neat transfer by the person I'm compelling through the legal procedure but at the end I still get X.

The only other thing I see here is that with stock options, execution is legally optional and a decision made by the person with the option. It's not legally optional to pay someone wages if they're employed under a standard wage contract and that decision isn't made by the employee to not be paid it's being made by the employer that's an important distinction.

Anyway, whether I have X or a magic token (in this case the government) that upon using it will force you to give me X makes no difference to me, still got X. If it didn't contracts would be worthless and we both know that's not typically the case. So if anything I see it as a distinction ultimately without difference but I guess there is value in seeing the distinction anyway.

Anyway good conversation and I imagine we still have some disagreement here but I'm going to go enjoy my Saturday evening, have a good one yourself!
In addition to the concerns already raised here, one other thing stuck out to me: the whole system is easier to manufacture, build, and maintain. Heggheim says it has a design lifespan of 50 years

My naive feeling is that it's extraordinarily difficult to design for 50 year lifespan in an environment as hostile as the North Sea. This isn't a naval vessel. You can't just keep slapping fresh coats of paint over everything.

Am I wrong? Wouldn't salt ions, seawater, trace sea minerals, etc eventually just permeate everything?
Ignoring it doesn't do any good indeed, fearmongering and using a pandemic to hustle views, doesn't do any good either. People took the shot, what else do you want them to do? To stop living their lives indefinitely? If the virus mutates to the point people drop dead in the streets, then people will find a way to protect themselves, and get the shot. Some people just don't see themselves in danger(not me, I got mine in April), so is their call to get it or not.
Most of the hardware is whiteboxed from their Chinese manufacturers. There is a hackernews thread where people complain about this and the ceo pops up to defend their practices.

Apparently the newer machines are bespoke for them but the MacBook air lookalikes were for sure just relabeled Chinese machines.
Is this true? Can’t you be banned from the store?
If they gave a million bucks to each, it would be close to 100% drop in homicides.
"Social Justice Warrior" is emphasize on "Warrior". They are people who want to fight and harass others, and figured that the best way to get lots of people to harass and fight without many consequences is to fight for social justice. Their goal isn't social justice, rather their goal is to make lots of enemies which hurts the cause of social justice.

But of course social justice is a great thing, but social justice WARRIOR isn't.

> Do you have any music degrees? I've got a couple.

Woopteedoo Mr. Argument-from-authority. Well, that's the snarky tone I might have if I stick to replying in a triggered-reactive state. But better for me to engage with the reasonable points and not focus on imagining you feeling defensive and me being reactive in reverse.

Yes, you are right that "Western Art Music" is too narrow, many many aspects of pop-music and jazz and so on do indeed use these same structures. And furthermore, several aspects of this sort of "theory" are decently universal.

I do still object strongly to the presentation of these ideas as if they explain music. I'm not going to prioritize getting into this in depth here. I would be happy and probably not really object if this stuff were all just labeled as Standard Patterns of 12-tone Western Music instead of "Music Theory".

P.S. Yes, I have a music degree, and I also did a bunch of grad-level stuff too and almost started a music PhD, but life went in other directions. As it stands though, I have learned more about music away from academia than in it. However, I did find some people within academia who seemed to really have broader understandings, and I was pursuing working with such folks when I was still engaged in that world.
Just like what happened to netbooks. The original “minimalist laptop just powerful enough to run a browser” went through so many rounds of “but this one’s a bit bigger/faster/nicer so we’ll buy this one” that they turned into budget laptops.
What is your angle here? The 5th and 6th amendments don’t cover abortion.
Yes, newborns are a good analogy as they are about as helpless without somebody feeding them, however, we do not have a practice of state intervention forcing mothers to keep and feed their newborn kids if they refuse, quite the opposite, we provide means and process to relinquish these newborns and have the state take over their care. In a similar manner, if the state would want to take care of the fetus that a mother refuses - transplanting it instead of aborting - that would seem quite reasonable, but as far as I understand we don't (yet?) have the medical/technological capacity to do so at an early stage of the fetus.
> in the 90s when programs could target 10+ different Unix systems

Fast forward to present: programs can target 10+ different Linux systems.

Fast forward 30 years to the future: programs can target 10+ different Ubuntu systems.
I've had a Darter for a couple of years, and I'm very happy with it. I've been using Pop OS, currently 20.10. No hardware problems at all. I like the keyboard feel, and the touchpad is fine. My only complaint about the hardware is that the speakers are pretty bad.

I like that System76 is putting work into Pop OS, and making sure that it runs well on their hardware. This has been successful, as it is the best distro I've ever used. I have never run into a problem installing or upgrading packages, wifi just works, bluetooth just works, audio just works.

System76 support is fantastic. One problem I've had is that the laptop sometimes shuts down when it shouldn't (lid closed, plenty of battery) and then fails to boot properly. (I have since learned to not shut the lid except when powered off, or with external power.) But each time I've had one of these problems, support has got me back to work quickly, including once on Thanksgiving, on Thursday late afternoon/early evening. Support has also been great on getting me out of self-created problems relating to Linux configuration.

So I like System76 a lot. Best computer vendor I've dealt with. I know that I've been lucky with their hardware, and I hope that they start building their own laptops, to improve quality and reliability. But even with their current products, I would happily bu another laptop from them when I need one.
Yeah. Coding is the best thing I discovered in my life. Im just sad that I was in my mid 20s when I started.

I get to be a “god” or creator and make what comes to my mind. Pretty cool.
I find it baffling and dispiriting that you, as a Black person, believe this is more likely to be an "error" than an act of deliberate racism. It's getting silly, now. A white racist programmer has done this on purpose because he finds it hilarious. The chances of a computer equating monkey and man, given the correct datasets, are close to nil. There's a blindness - a wilful ignorance - to look away and show good faith. Why is that?
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but the challenge with DID is that there's no empirical evidence supporting it; something like 10-15% of cases are believed to be fictitious, and there's studies that cast doubt on its diagnostic criteria [1]. Around half of clinical psychologists are skeptical as to whether it's 'real', or if it could be better explained by borderline personality disorder or other diagnoses.

I did both and sure it’s just a oneliner in essence. Zorin kubuntu, zorin preinstalled apps, zorin jelly mode windows for zorin productivity. So much fun and much faster compared these regular unnamed unzorin meh-OS as you may have seen on a TV. That’s basically it.
I'm thinking about a PF app concept where you enter your own transactions manually, but you don't have to keep track of everything down to the cent.

At the end of every month, banks send out statements so importing all transactions aren't necessary to keep track of one's overall financial standing.

Banks do make mistakes but extremely rarely that it's not worth wanting to import all transactions in the off chance that you'll catch a mistake. Retailers can make mistakes like double charge you but again those are rare and you can take a quick look at your statements to find them usually.

Keeping track of individual transactions are important to be able to figure out where the money is going in general but this doesn't require keeping track of 'every' transaction. Just the ones that make up the biggest percentage of the total money spent. They are usually easy to spot on the bank/creditcard statements.

One doesn't even have to be perfectly accurate to gain from inspecting statements either. You spent $834.56 for new tires? You can enter that as $850 and it's fine.

Sure, there might be cases where the total is split more or less evenly across several small transactions and that can be handled similarly to the above.

Knowing where the money is going isn't terribly useful actually unless there are a lot of frivolous spendings. It usually comes down to "you are not making enough money" or "the lifestyle you desire is too expensive for your current income". No app can fix either of these, other than point out the obvious problem. Most personal finance blogs end up leaning towards "how to earn more" because that's more important than keeping track of your transactions or budgeting.

Do you use postgis for spatial queries?
The title is clickbait. It sent me down a long rabbit hole reading old research papers about experiments into quantum teleportation. I'm not going to pretend I understand any of this, but it seems people have been able to entangle particles to demonstrate a "teleportation" effect whereby doing something to one affects the other even as they move apart in space, but because you need the original quantum state to reconstruct any information and can only get that through a classical channel, you're still constrained by the speed of light, so it seems like you get your cake and eat it, too. There is spooky action at a distance somehow, but physics doesn't break and we don't get subspace radio or time travel or anything.

But apparently fiber lines aren't good enough to not break the entanglement, so the only place this really works well is in space, and China has put a satellite in orbit for exactly that purpose, to generate quantum key pairs for unbreakable encryption.

So how the heck does this work in a computer? Do quantum computers have to run in an artificial vacuum?
Maybe "The" being capitalized.

Are you claiming that flowers are shipped entirely (or even mostly) with unused transport capacity that would be otherwise wasted? Because that seems very unlikely.
Sure. And it’d probably be cheaper than current prosecution and incarceration costs, especially when it comes to housing death row prisoners for decades and administering executions.

Modern camera stacks use a lot of machine learning to figure out what kind of scene is being captured; primarily to apply specific tuning for that scene. For example, certain settings are applied for night time, portrait, landscape, beach, etc.

Xiaomi might be using an ML detector to figure out it is looking at something that resembles an official document, and refusing to take a picture of it.
I just drove my father-in-law's kei truck through southern Japan for about 5 hours in total, mostly on the "express". Even mild wind had me legitimately scared a few times, and it has no guts when it's necessary to pass.

Besides that it was a blast to drive, it feels more like an oversized toy than a vehicle.

Switzerland still has conscription for men only, so it's arguably still a sexist society (against men).

What's interesting is that men's suffrage was often justified by conscription: that people shouldn't be sent to fight wars they didn't have a say in. But then women got suffrage without having to be conscripted on the basis of equality, while only men still got conscripted. Not a great deal for men!
I’ve had a darter pro for two years now. I bought it because I wanted a “just works” Linux laptop, and because speccing it up with additional RAM and hard drive space was very reasonably priced compared to competitors.

It’s been an excellent machine, and I’m very happy with it. The build quality and battery life are not Apple level, but it’s been fine for me.
What if I told you that today we can build executable files that run on five different UNIX systems and we don't need #ifdefs?
Do you know why that didn't happen in Richmond CA when they did it? Specifically reports show a 77% drop in homicides (from another comment). Or what were the "cobras" that sprung up there?
Is there a version of SETI@Home for training machine learning models where the data/models are entirely open?
Is there another game that supports direct interaction between everyone in a group of as many players as EVE supports?
No. They fail very ungracefully. But it’s something I’m planning to implement in the future.
I'm sorry but no. I don't believe this at all. What are the chances of say, you finding a dataset maliciously labelled by racists and how would you uncover that? Would you ask every software engineer how he felt about Black Lives Matter as he tagged images? It's more likely that there is malicious intent in a company where 2% of software engineers are African-American than not.
I didn't say musicians (and I did mean creatives in general) shouldn't get paid.

However, I'm not sure an entitlement should exist whereby the act of me acquiring or listening to a recording of a performance--for/on my own devices, in my own home, etc.--results in an obligation for me to pay the artists.

If your business model ultimately depends on controlling what people do in their homes or personal space, or personal devices, then it's bad.

Would you buy a book if you had to pay each time you read it?
I haven't done the math, and I could be way off, but probably 22 square miles of solar panels could replace a nuclear plant. At probably less cost, considering that the latest nuclear plant (perhaps the last to ever be built in the USA) is projected to cost over $27 Billion.[1] Billion with a B.

PV solar has, unfortunately, the same problem as windmills. How do you store the energy for a "rainy day" (heh heh)? Nuclear plants are pretty good at operating in rainy weather and at night.

I was in a similar situation at one point. Baby was already born at that point, but the VP of my org changed and basically everybody they brought on (including a new manager for my team) were not people I could work well with. My old manager and I got along well and respected each other, but they couldn't tolerate the VP and left.

One huge positive for me was that I realized all I could do is mentally check out and focus on home life. I stayed in the job longer than I wanted to, but it was still the right choice to stay. Mentally checking out didn't really have any detrimental effect on my career because I knew I'd never stay there willingly work with those people.

There were a lot of rough days though, and more than a few where I felt totally helpless and just wanted to quit. It's not like focusing on your home life will get rid of those feelings. Sleep deprivation and an didn't help me feel better about the job. But sleep deprivation isn't a great thing to have during job hunting or the first 90 days of a job where you are trying to prove yourself.
What should the net worth of someone like OP be by 25? I really wonder how far behind I am compared to my more savvy investor peers.
405-Line Television System
I used to do this exact same trick with Sub7. Good times.
> Why 405 lines?

> Because an interlaced system requires accurate positioning of scanning lines, the horizontal and vertical timebase must be in a precise ratio. This is done by passing the one through a series of electronic divider circuits to produce the other. Each division is by an odd integer. Therefore, there has to be a straightforward mathematical relationship between the line and field frequencies, the latter being derived by dividing down from the former. The technology constraints of the 1930s meant that this division process could only be done using small integers, preferably no greater than 7, for good stability. The number of lines was odd because of 2:1 interlace. The 405-line system used a vertical frequency of 50 Hz (standard AC mains supply frequency in Britain) and a horizontal one of 10,125 Hz (50 × 405 ÷ 2 or, using the frame rate, 25 x 405), with 405 being derived from (3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5).
This is a little outside your point, but the arrival of Lewis and Clark was kind of an irrelevant point for the PNW nations. Russia had been trading with the northwest since 1740, numerous other expeditions had been out there, and there had already been massive changes caused by contact.
Is this exactly like the Norvig's spellchecker of it has some improvements?
After many years thinking about it and procrastinating, I finally built a Ceph cluster with 4x Raspberry Pis (8GB RAM, 4 or 5 TB external portable drive for each Pi).

The setup per node is super simple, Ubuntu 20.04, install Docker, and then one command to add the new node to the cluster, and one more command to add a disk.

(Ceph version 16 switched to cephadm for deploying and managing a cluster and it's a lot easier now than with previous versions.)

With just 4 nodes I'm already saturating a 1Gb connection on my client (Ryzen desktop).

Perhaps the most surprising thing for me was how stable and forgiving a native CephFS client is on my Linux laptop. After waking up from sleep, it takes about a second to reconnect.

This weekend I'm planning on expanding to 7 nodes. With 7 nodes total power usage should be ~31 watts (not counting network switch), which is less than my current 6 disk ZFS RAIDZ2 setup in my desktop.

Smartwatches Track Our Health. Smart Toilets Aren’t Too Far Behind
I agree, but git and most code reviewing tools I've used only show a few lines of surrounding context so the reviewers might not even realize there's a comment further up that needs updating.
> It is arguing that there are no differences between groups that justifies disparities unless there are biases or oppression.

So would you say that men having shorter lifespans than women is due to bias or oppression against men?

Should we reallocate public health spending from women to men until lifespans are equal?
I run a maxed out Lemur I picked up two years ago.

I run all the Jetbrains stuff on it, brave, chromium, chrome and firefox, discord and slack. I usually have it plugged in via a single USB-C cable to a large monitor and full size keyboard.

Created htmx and hyperscript on it.

It has been reliable and, for the most part, just works. Not as smooth as the Macbooks I came from, but good enough and I was sick of apples behavior.
