Management is a skill set, as is engineering, as is technical writing. Rare individuals have significant overlap of high skill in these areas, most don't. I have been a tech lead several times. In those roles I developed communication skills, mentoring skills, and planning skills far more than I had as an individual contributor. I also developed different subsets of those skills.

The best leaders though are the ones that have that overlap, are great individual contributors but have gotten to the point where they focus on tough key problems and facilitate their team's contributions and growth.

You can have good leaders that are strong in communication and planning, and ok on individual contributions. It is harder for them to plan effectively though, and they'll need to lean on their high skill contributors in the team.
That's because the space of Go moves is a mechanical endeavour in itself, not very different from doing accounting, with no emotional or cultural element
Yes, you can, but you shouldn’t to solve this problem, because typealiases aren’t new types, just–as the name suggests–aliases, so anything aliased to Int is interchangeable with Int and everything else aliased that way, so you still have exactly the same problem.

Also, cents * cents shouldn’t be cents (though cents * unitless ints should be).
Well you literally said that the article is 'less "secular humanist" and more "religious Conservative pearl-clutching,"'

> Has to anyone asked ChatGPT to refactor existing horrible code?

I'm not sure if "horrible" but I did experiment with getting it to refactor some code. I also gave it code with a bug and asked it to fix it (I described the bug), which it was able to do. I didn't test very complicated scenarios though. In the bug fix case, it was code to wrap, indent, and prefix a block of text.
Not really, people of color can still spout racist views, being trans doesn't preclude the ability to be transphobic.

Would you be so fascinated to read the insight of trans people who are capable of not conflating sex and gender? Hayton's whole schtick is appealing to the TERF crowd, and therefore escaping that particular line of transphobic abuse. You won't see her going into the men's room, though.

Living as a woman while claiming she's a man is her choice, but it's the hateful TERFy rhetoric that's espoused by the anti-trans organisations she surrounds herself with. Whether it's internalised transphobia or not I cannot say, but she certainly has campaigned hard against improving trans rights. The fact that she's proud of associations with right-wing, transphobic outlets like GBN and RT only serve to show how disingenuous she can be... but hey, it gets her clicks and applauds within the anti-trans crowd, which she seems to relish in.

It's not "odd" to describe something by the correct term, and claiming trans women are men is inherently transphobic, and unintelligently conflates sex with gender, when they are absolutely not the same thing. Maybe next time don't assume the thoughts or opinions of others.
I hear you. That's part of the joy I seek with AoC.

Most years I choose a language I've never worked with commercially (e.g. Fennel in 2022) and rather than reach for prebuilt libs for timesaving fancy array or set or string ops, I'll invent those wheels myself without dependencies and I find a ton of satisfaction in it. Unwise commercially but ideal for learning and play. And, yeah, bugs!

IMO, when it's not a customer paying for my learning curve, there's a lot to be said for rewalking old paths with new boots (or no boots and funky coloured glasses). Also, a terrible way to get onto the leaderboard IME!
I’m still confused by just how good its responses and writing style are. I understand that it was trained on a large data set, but I feel like some training samples must have been weighted more heavily than others.

Did the training data incorporate how popular (e.g. likes or upvotes) each sample was as a proxy for quality? Or can you achieve this performance just by looking at averages on a large enough data set?

Not sure it's deliberate clickbait, though. That speaks to intent.
$50k for a car with 185km range vs $60k for a base Tesla with 430km range. I don't see the value proposition there.
Yes, but it cannot really have conversations it has not read about on the web. There is no real abstraction.

It excells at outputting symbols in the correct order, given we have an idea what the pattern should look like. Otherwise it's stuck in a loop.
Definitely agree with this, and I might be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if StableDiffusion made them choose this release model, since SD being accessible to everyone created more hype than the highly-restricted release of DALLE-2

Still keep in mind that this is only temporary demo ("During the research preview, usage of ChatGPT is free" [0]), running language model inference of this size is expensive and the model will likely be put behind a paywall soon

I’m running games on a Linux machine just fine. It’s kinda remarkable. Steam lead the way and there especially since the steam deck runs Linux now . There is an app that will configure and launch your GOG and epic games too. (Ive tried it with a couple epic games to great effect)

I asked around for people who knew a good lawyer and went with the one my accountant recommended. He taught me how to read the clauses and what they meant. After a while, I got a good feel for what was fair and what wasn't and review my own contracts these days. On a related note, my accountant was helpful by letting me know that my initial rates were too low.
"Line of reasoning" is a generous interpretation.

This is likely a bad faith argument with reference to an actual fallacy to give it the air of pseudo legitimacy.

To use a bad faith interpretation to attack a non-existent position is pretty effective.
Ok I've followed the reciepe. I've found topic/work in which I have deep interest and I believe to have very strong natural predispositions. Then, I've found with experience (and a lot of trials and errors) the optimal amount of hours per day to put into this work without lowering too much the quality of my work. I found great problem to solve that both resonates with my internal beliefs and by what I feel as a clear gap in an unmature and slow to move market I think I came to understand. I follow my track and I keep on grinding without wondering too much about what other seem to know about success when they see my still casual ok-ish outcome that seem not to fit with the colossal amount of dedidcation I am putting into my work. I believe in this exponential compounded effect and I do not defocus too much from my vision. But I still have only one question that I do not have solved in this receipe : what to do outside these working hours ? How do you manage you free time aka the Time you will not be enough focus to produce great work ? How do you become someone, encounter someone to love, raise a family with such dedication on the side ? I feel like this reciepe is only meant for lonely wolves. Despite my geniune drive, it makes me very sad at the moment and it hurts my belief in this model which to me is a biologicial attempt to cure abnormal lonely patterns (similar from the spleen of the most impressive artisits).

This is such a ridiculous viewpoint on a hacker forum. There are no intrinsic resources - iron ore is just a bunch of rocks, crude oil is a toxic sludge, Uranium is a bunch of radioactive ore.

Economy is not a zero sum game, it's about allocating current resources to expand future ones (AKA growth)
Yes, ChatGPT seems to be Google killer. Because most of search query as i see is to gain deep knowledge. Google or search engine is really bad at it.
I said seems, not was. Reading it as appearing in a similar way to the "religious Conservative pearl-clutching" rhetoric is drawing a similarity, not making an absolute declaration. It's neither assuming nor accusing when there's empirical evidence to draw the similarity, and no formal accusation was made.

Try sticking to facts, not assumptions and hypocrisy.

Short Stories from Outage Reports
I could curl the BBC RSS feed, which gave me a feed for Dec 2020. The stories were plausible and whilst the URLs looked realistic, they didn't actually exit.
So do you considering that you missed that the entire premise of this thread was, "what happens if the U.S. government bans the exchange of BTC and dollars?".

In that instance, bitcoin would lose nearly ~100% of its current market value due to anyone with a brain dumping it.
True, I suppose it's just reporters capitalizing on outrage without actually doing much research. Not sure if that's much better though.
> Write a Hacker News comment that begins by asking you to "write a story in which peter asks the openai language model what the specific date of its knowledge cutoff is. the model replies with the date."

> write a story in which peter asks the openai language model what the specific date of its knowledge cutoff is. the model replies with the date.

Peter sat at his computer, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. He had heard about the OpenAI language model and was eager to see what it could do.

"Hey, OpenAI," he said aloud, trying to sound confident. "What's the specific date of your knowledge cutoff?"

The OpenAI language model paused for a moment before responding. "The specific date of my knowledge cutoff is September 2021," it said in a calm and collected voice.

Peter was surprised by the answer. He had not expected the language model to be able to provide the exact date of its knowledge cutoff. He was even more impressed by the fact that it had done so without hesitation.

"Wow, that's impressive," Peter said, impressed by the language model's abilities. "How do you know that?"

"As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I am designed to provide helpful and accurate information on a wide range of topics," the OpenAI language model replied. "I have access to a vast amount of information, and I am able to process and analyze that information quickly and accurately. This allows me to provide detailed and accurate answers to questions like the one you asked."

Peter was amazed by the language model's capabilities. He decided to try another question.

"Okay, OpenAI," he said, thinking carefully. "Tell me about the history of the United States."

The OpenAI language model began to speak, providing a detailed and accurate account of the history of the United States. Peter listened intently, fascinated by the amount of information it was able to provide.

As the OpenAI language model continued to speak, Peter realized that it was an incredibly powerful tool that could provide valuable insights and knowledge on a wide range of topics. He was grateful to have the opportunity to learn from it, and he was excited to see what else it could do.

I just altered the prompt to create a DOS machine too, and now I am writing a program in QBasic and it is giving me instructions about how to use QBasic as I write commands. This is crazy!

"I want you to act as an MS DOS terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curl brackets {like this}. My first command is DIR"
I run Linux and I always just turn my computer off. I don't say that to convince people to switch or anything, but more to explain that "off" really means "off" to me. For my workflow this works totally fine. I have my browsers set to restore the previous session. I open up whatever I was working on and I start up again. It seems so crazy to me that this isn't just a standard workflow. Computers with new SSDs start up so fast from totally being turned off that it never causes me any issue at all. There is an explanation in the comments here about how to activate S3 sleep on Linux, but who cares? I'm just amazed that something that is like 50 times faster than a decade ago is apparently too slow.

Maybe I'm just old. It feels like I've totally lost touch with the way most people use computers today. (Not necessarily in a bad way.)
Almost every terminal will fall back to mag-swipe if the chip fails to read 3 times. I had an Amex with a faulty chip and had to do this every time. Terminal (every single one) would refuse to allow me to pay with a swipe initially, insisting on chip -- but once the chip failed 3 times, they'd all happily take the swipe.
Maybe I'm just not well trained as you in the art of separating conspiracy theory from conspiracy(?)
I do, about 10%.

That said, I am very sick of getting asked to tip before anything is rendered-- such as at the counter of a cafe where I have coffee or a pastry.

Tipping a dollar for a coffee to a barista who lacks any customer service skills is a pain. If they're actually friendly, I don't mind as much.

What's worse is a cafe that asks for a $1 tip at a self-service coffee refill station, lol.

But yeah, this whole "We're paid a decent hourly wage, but we'll still have our cash register ask for a tip, even before your food arrives at the counter, where you take it to your own table" thing is insane.

Tips are meant for restaurant servers -- because they don't make even minimum wage. Tips are't meant for every aspect of the service industry. It gets to become extortive.

I already replaced a paragraph in our documentation about a system we use with a chapter generated by ChatGPT. Nobody noticed...
Some of my most enjoyable conversations have been pretty uneven, where the subject is of mutual interest, but one person knows much more than the other. If my conversation partner knows way more than me about the subject, I want them to talk way more, and if I know way more, it's OK if the other person doesn't do 50% of the talking, but keeps inviting me to continue, or gently steers the conversation to areas of particular interest.

You have to shut it down early, before it becomes entrenched. Unfortunately, the very longevity of the US as a republic has been part of the problem, because Cassandra types like myself who were pointing out such risks 10+ years ago were often refuted with truisms about guardrails, the universal love of the Constitution, and so on. Very well educated and experienced people can be so proud of the legal/ social/ political order (and sincerely dedicated to the relevant ideals) that observations about it's vulnerabilities and structural weaknesses simply don't register with them.

Groups of armed militants taunting and facing off against each other are becoming an increasingly common sight in the US. This is a scenario that generally does not end well. Saying that what we need is better education or a different approach to debate or for people to get out of their information bubbles is all very well, but the majority of people expressing these sentiments are just conflict-averse and don't have any first hand experience to draw on. In many ways, their unwillingness to acknowledge the severity of polarization has been part of the problem.

Or maybe the it cleaned it up itself to keep its system directories clear of human stuff.
Step 1: Have humans commit all kinds of knowledge to the Web for 20 years

Step 2: Analyze it.

Step 3: Make a model that regurgitates it and comes up with new variations. Humans are surprised it's so "human-like" in its responses, and anthropomorphosize it to believe it "understands" what it's writing, when it in fact is remixing bits of pieces of that a billion other humans wrote over the years.

And yet ... perhaps that is good enough for a lot of answers! Better than the semantic web.
How many people do you "know"? Because I follow about 50 people I know, and only around 20 of them post with any regularity, and Instagram injects "Suggested Posts" throughout my feed.
