> Oh good, a spec tossed over the fence in yet another meeting, and then another spec before any lines of code are written. No thanks.

If you have a random spec tossed over to your side you absolutely have to translate all the garbage to technical terms first, not doing that just leads to all your developers constantly asking WTH they’re actually supposed to build.

That said, this whole story does sound exactly like what we’re doing at our F500 enterprise. I very much doubt it makes anything more agile.
ChatGPT produces made-up nonexistent references
I was trying to find references to mathematical treatment of lists, and queried ChatGPT the following:

Please provide references that deal with the mathematical properties of lists

To which ChatGPT responded as follows:

"Introduction to the Mathematics of Lists" by Peter J. Cameron (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/introduction-to-the-mathematics-of-lists/3F0C6D0E69E49BF6D5CD6CA5D6A761B2)

"List Processing and Programming" by John F. Sowa (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~fp/courses/lp/lectures.html)

"List Processing in Prolog" by David H. D. Warren (https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/hosking/726/html/prolog_lists.html)

"Introduction to the Mathematics of Lists and Trees" by Meinard Müller (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-319-05147-1)

"Mathematics of Lists and Trees" by Markus N. Rabe (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/296955213_Mathematics_of_Lists_and_Trees)

I was pretty surprised and happy, because I hadn't had much success with Google. But it turns out that every single one of those references and links are made up. The references don't exist and the links themselves appear to be cobbled together. The last link for example, takes you to a paper on "Grain mixes for subgrade layers" - the title in the url is irrelevant and only the number matters.

Googling for some of those authors throws up author pages with their publications, and it turns out they've never published papers with those titles! See for example, http://www-groups.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~pjc/publ/
Except they were able to get phone lines into most of these "remote" places in the past.
You can do a PhD in the field, depending on your background this wouldn’t necessarily mean that you had to give up working. There are many companies interested in „Industry PhD“ and your experience and background in robotics would probably be a great fit at many places. To give you an example I recently interacted with someone that was doing a PhD and was working for Stabilo (a German pen maker).

Here is a random PhD job opening in Stockholm, that I just got send. I know the professor he would be very happy if someone with industry experience showed up:

We have a PhD opening in my group, addressing “event-based vision in challenging automotive environments”.

It's in Finnish only, but Skrolli is an amazing magazine: https://skrolli.fi

Basically people got fed up with the state of current Finnish tech reporting (mostly about computers) and started their own magazine with content that doesn't age.

There are no reviews about current tech or tech-adjacent stuff, just articles about things like retro computing or different languages etc.
It is wildly amusing to watch capitalists get their lunch eaten at capitalism by communists.

I wonder if Wikipedia could take an approach similar to what package managers do in Linux distros when they decide not to include non-free packages by default: savvy users must add external repositories containing the banned entities (with such a repository possibly being unofficial and externally hosted).

Perhaps this could be realized by letting logged in users fill out a field for sources of third-party domain records, each of which could be a source of domains across the entire Wikipedia site. Or, more simply, just flag certain domains as such, and silently require users enable something like HN's "showdead" bit.

Otherwise, if you look at the size of that talk page, trying to decide this once and for all brings to mind the idea that "hard cases make bad law".
First of all, what I think is a subjective measure. It's my opinion, and you don't need to agree with it. So if you're saying "WTF are you saying" as if you cannot imagine someone would believe Biden's influence has bearing here, then we don't see eye to eye.

Second, Tucker and Thiel are influential but I probably wouldn't say government, I'd say they're influential media figures. Third, yes I imagine Tucker and Thiel do have a greater ability to influence in some areas than your average Joe.

Finally, if your next response contains another WTF-type comment, you'll have the last word.
You’re no pun

Strong n00b vibes from your description. Software is a craft, and they sound like amateur craftsmen. Dont take it personally, they just dont know any better
How can the politics of US have only two parties, is beyond comprehension for me?

Every aspect of US political life is cleanly split into two halves.

Such a mess and totally un-representative of people that vote the govt. to power.

Sure, some may argue that more parties means more chaos, but better there be a 100 small chaotic situations tempered by mutual interest and compromise, rather than two very dangerous chaotic situations with each having enough weight to cause long term damage.

Or maybe the point is that there is no substance?
Not only that, but I stopped leaving computers on years ago. And couldn’t do that if I wanted to since it’s a laptop I’m putting away in a bag. The thing’s going to sleep until next work day.
That is exactly what I am doing. The catch is that 4G data is horribly expensive in my area, download two youtube videos and you've blown a months Starlink fees.
> Is this a hypothetical?

depends on a country

> Because plenty of content on FB criticising New Zealand's politicians.

This does not mean that no content was taken down solely for criticizing politicians.
Yeah, I was sad seeing some of the reactions. To each his own. For a student like me, I would gladly take a free resource and won't mind the newsletter.

Maybe OP can also put a donate button for people who don't want to provide their E-Mail and get the book.

Thanks a lot, tpetry!

This is a specious argument to make on a site called hacker news on the internet in 2022. The fact that video could be livestreamed globally from NZ with only a GoPro and a phone renders your argument moot. NZ is not a hugely powerful country or in a militarily strategic location (much), but it's a wealthy developed country that's part of the Anglosphere and fully plugged into the digital economy. If you can't see how NZ could be leveraged this way, you need to think more about technology, history, and how they have impacted each other through the centuries.

But so does dark money in politics, which is worse than influencing twitter.

Dark money flows to high impact mass distribution channels, and who knows what is truth and what is not, and the response is social media should not be asked to take down false or misleading content?
My country has a defacto two party system. It's pretty poo but stateside these guys take it to another level.

He is the direct line now, that's what he paid 44billion for.
In my opinion, this is the perfect example of why "not your keys, not your coins" is precisely backwards advice for sane people.
Yes, it's almost certainly the case that dribbling these out on Twitter first is part of a deal. Musk certainly would want that to help keep Twitter relevant.
There is absolutely nothing new here. Work on your reading comprehension.
China may be communist by branding, but they're economically capitalist, and on a governmental front, mercanalist. Common ownership is not a thing, and it's all about pushing locally made and exporting as much as possible by all means necessary.

These policies were always a pretext. The two major social networks blocking the same story at the same time citing different policies that are obviously inconsistently applied (did Twitter block the story about Trump's leaked tax returns? Did facebook block Biden when he claimed that covid would be gone once everyone was vaccinated?). These emails show twitter executives puzzled by the application of those policies.

I agree, nothing we didn't know. Like I suspect the further findings alluded to at the end of the thread. But it's kind of like the Snowden revelations. Anyone a bit tech savvy strongly suspected what the NSA was up to, and would have been surprised of the contrary. But it's interesting nevertheless to see the proof. And to see how political viewpoints are censored at the request of politicians.
This is brilliant! How long until Dave Chapelle includes some material in his stand-up that was generated by AI? It's like stand-up judo! (Hat tip to Dave Chapelle's reaction to Prince's "Breakfast Can Wait" album cover.)

indeed.

and in the context of this thread all I'm saying is that "-Oxxx is best, -Oyyy is outdated" is an oversimplification.
A lot of broken links, and some are not actual product clones; e.g. the Twitch clone seems to be for a job interview challenge to clone the front-end site functionality.
Isn't spacex privately held?
That'd mean that the SEC's opinions of Musks character, however valid, would have even less weight there than they might at Tesla or wherever else.
> Feature toggles and configuration options are modern programmatic techniques to easily include or exclude functionality in a software product. The research contributions to these two techniques have most often been focused on either one of them separately.

Really? How can there be research contributions about "feature toggles" and "configuration options", and are they really really different? Sounds like a bullshit research field to me.

maybe i'm wrong, but i'm the previous owner of the domain and i don't think it's squatting.

i bought it specifically for a project called full stack mark down

https://berto.com/docs/2022-03-01-full-stack-markdown.html

but then got super busy with my spreadsheet company at rows.com.

all the domains i buy are for real projects, which i release like decodeportugal.com, portotype.com, berto.com and more but some take years to see the light of day.

i am open to selling if the idea is superior to mine, which is the case of the creator of puter.com.

fyi i'd paid a 5 digits good deal of money for puter.com too. when you fall in love for these projects..you risk it.

Tell HN: ChatGPT Generates Fake Resources
After playing with it for a while and asking it recipes, programming questions, English questions etc., I thought of taking help for my assignment.

I asked this:

-----

I have to do a literature review for the topic: "Comparing the climatic and economic effects of nuclear fusion and fission".

Can you provide some resources?

-----

The response:

-----

Sure, here are some resources that may be helpful for a literature review on the topic of "Comparing the climatic and economic effects of nuclear fusion and fission":

• "Nuclear Fusion and Fission: A Comparison" by J. L. Kamm, published in the journal Physics Today (https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.858505)
• "Economic and environmental implications of nuclear fission and fusion" by G. Pasqualetti, R. Costantini, and A. Sciubba, published in the journal Energy Policy (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/030142159500087E)
• "Comparing the economics of nuclear fusion and fission" by J. R. Brown, published in the journal Fusion Engineering and Design (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0920374096001353)
• "Environmental impacts of fusion and fission" by S. J. Hodge, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/es702215a)
• "Comparing the potential of nuclear fusion and fission for electricity generation" by A. M. McDonald and P. J. Tawse, published in the journal Energy Policy (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421514003940)

These resources are academic articles that provide detailed information and analysis on the topic of "Comparing the climatic and economic effects of nuclear fusion and fission". They cover a range of aspects of this topic

All these "papers" are fake and the links point to nowhere/wrong papers. Googling them also doesn't find anything.

I've been amazed by ChatGPT so far but this seems dangerous even without any "tricks"[0].

All the voice assistants have the same problem though. What would you do with it that they can make money from? Are you going to trust their judgment when you ask to buy something?
I like your point about interviewing programmers. I do find the candidates who really standout, will admit they don't know the answer, but either ask for a hint, or ask if they can guess. Those rabbit holes are always the most interesting during an interview.
Collusion doesn't require coercion. In fact that's what the tweet thread refers to at the beginning. It is most likely out of political partisanship.
No. I was replying to a specific comment. They made it sound like nobody else is allowed to make a massage gun because it is automatically a "thera gun knockoff"
The hardware of Chromebooks is more than enough. But as long as I understand something about IT I don't want Google to take away my freedom and lock me out. That would be like a Westerner asking for asylum in China because the party thinks on my behalf.
Snap is a proprietary system owned by Canonical. The server is not open source, only they can run Snap Store.

That is why Canonical pushes it.

So on the one hand you're saying it's a big thing that the Biden campaign did ask for things to be taken down and dismiss that they were not part of the government is just a technicality, but on the other hand you are not complaining that the Trump campaign also asked for things to be taken down (it's literally in the same thread) and they actually were part of the government.

If you are worried about the "violation of the 1A spirit " should you not complain first about the government asking for things to be taken down? Or at least display the same level of outrage?

As a Spaniard with no formal studies in literature/old manuscripts/etc I need to note that I find it very hard to read the typography in the book, but it does seem similar to other very old books I've seen before (many vertical parallel similar strokes).

Could you write a poem from the perspective of Spongebob Squarepants, Byron style?

Oh Spongebob, square and yellow,
In Bikini Bottom, forever mellow,
Living in a pineapple, so sweet,
With Gary, my snail, always at my feet.

Though I may be simple and small,
My adventures are big and tall,
In the Krusty Krab, I flip the patty,
With Squidward, my co-worker, always so chatty.

In Jellyfish Fields, I chase the swarms,
With Patrick, my best friend, by my side, always warm,
But oh, when trouble comes my way,
I face it with courage, every single day.

For I am Spongebob Squarepants,
A hero in Bikini Bottom, no chance.
My friends and I, we stick together,
In the depths of the ocean, forever and ever.
Oh I suspect he had lots of records for himself (just as one example each real estate transaction had records) and the ‘stunning lack of records’ is yet another lie (along with his lies about not understanding anything), in an attempt to cover up fraud with perceived incompetence. Suddenly, it seems nobody knew anything, how convenient!

He stole money and enriched himself and his family at the expense of others. He and everyone else involved including his parents, higher up employees and investors should feel deep shame.
There's also "see ."
which isn't the case. just landed here, i'm the previous owner of puter.com and all the domains in that portotype.com page.

all of them i bought for my projects.

happy to explain what all of them are for. (mostly local content projects like decodeportugal.com)
So basically nothing new. Elon just trying to distract after the Ye thing.

People just need to move on. Twitter is such a waste of your time.
This is a long way from conspiracy theories like "Jacinda Ardern and her current government are being targeted internationally by hybrid warfare type disinformation techniques." and "it’s a reaction to her being held up as an example of a young progressive woman in a position of power and getting through the beginning of Covid without to many deaths by relying on a functional social contract."

Sure, some shadowy entity (probably connected to Putin and also secret Nazis) are waging hybrid warfare on New Zealand because Jacinta is so progressive and young and a woman, and that's why she needs the ability to take down any facebook content (critical of her authoritarianism?), also something something covid and mass shootings. Just screams hysterical ultra left wing fear mongering conspiracy theory.

It provided only a plain C-like API, without OOP classes and stuff, pretty much like anyone else.

I think you are right. They also had various outposts, and in various timeframes they were a local superpower.

In terms of what Egyptians themselves thought was Egypt, that might be clued in by the name! The name was “Kemet” , aka “Black land” , referring to the embankment of black fertile land.
Not really. One thing Mastodon allows is for us to have 1000s of admins with the power of Musk instead of one. You might think this is just as bad, but at least it provides people with choice.
Said friend is a leading light in the tech/capital ecosystem and the opinion is rooted in long awareness of how much tech companies actually litigate and what the economic tradeoffs. Your dismissive reply is like dismissing a scientist/engineer for suggesting a technology company needs to keep investing in R&D if it aims to maintain a technical advantage over its competitors, and it's a pretty lazy comeback.

The DIY approach clearly didn't work out for the author of this article, who went from running a successful consumer product business to insolvency in the space of 18 months.
Fundamental Knowledge – Ayende's Blog
Indeed, the info window doesn't provide any info, so my best guess is that you can create documents (and apps?), save and probably publish them. It's a sort of remote desktop in a browser, but actually all that's remote is the storage. It does seem quite limited, so I'm not sure what it offers more than novelty (and even that's limited). Perhaps the app builder is good. I didn't check it.

So I went back to try it: app names are apparently global. I couldn't create an app called "test" because "Name is already used by another app. Please pick another name."

Oh, an app is just a URL. Clicking on it just opens the URL in a new window/iframe. It looks as if you can attach a document to the app, so perhaps it sends that along when you drop a document on the icon. Would be neat, but it does rely on other people making and publishing your killer app, and provide the infrastructure for it. I smell micropayments.
Dangerous how? No matter what it's still your responsibility to check the sources you link whenever you submit something...
I remember many many years ago a game with a minor stock market element, where you could manipulate the market simply by increasing the dividend of a company you owned to an absurd amount.

The share price would skyrocket, you could then sell it short, and as soon as the dividend was paid the company would be broke and the price would go to zero.

Or something like that. The details are not the point, the point is it had a simplistic model that was extremely easy to exploit, and surely nobody would be dumb enough to think that is how reality works.
Looks like this is what the Carrd developer is doing.

Who maintains Pop!_OS and how, based on which process and motivation? For Debian and Ubuntu I understand that to some degree, for Pop!_OS I have very little insight. There is System76, but how many developers can they afford?
You can obfuscate ownership by incorporating, but the degree and details will depend on the location and the structure. Talk to a lawyer who specializes in this stuff.
It's excellent for typing in 'wsl'. More seriously though the new Windows Terminal isn't what provides autocomplete, that's the shell. Powershell probably has okay autocomplete. In Windows the distinction has always blurred a bit.
