Tell HN: Copying and pasting from ChatGPT unsolicited sucks
Person A asks a question.

Person B: pastes the response of ChatGPT, maybe with a "Here's what ChatGPT thinks about this" at the beginning, maybe without.

Person B isn't being helpful to anyone, isn't answering the question, and they're making HN and the web a worse place.
If ChatGPT can solve your questions what does that say about your questions? That they don't assess the skillet you care about. If your questions were useful and actually tested for the skillet you cared about and ChatGPT solves them, why not just use ChatGPT instead of hiring someone? By your definition, it would make a great employee!

So what's the problem? Your interview process.

“Morph the screen into something cool” (2008)
This classic article makes fun of a non-technical person who tried to create a program by typing "Morph the screen into something cool" in notepad. Now, however, you can achieve fair results by typing the same exact prompt into ChatGPT.
> “‘You shouldn’t have anything on social media. People are using your pictures.’ And I’m like, ‘Excuse me. I’m not gonna move to a deserted island or live my life as a monk. That’s just not gonna happen.’”

Not posting pictures of yourself online seems to be a pretty reasonable, sensible preventative measure for anyone. I don’t (to my knowledge) have pictures of myself floating around social media, and I don’t consider myself to be “living my life as a monk.”
By introducing a CBDC, the Nigerian government hopes to attract revenues that come from remittances, which have mostly shifted to crypto channels because of poor international trade policies. Today, getting USD liquidity as an importer/exporter is challenging, as there are two market rates - one for banks & few institutions, the other for individuals & the vast majority of the economy. To find competitive rates, people resort to P2P markets. Furthermore, the Nigerian government banned licensed money operators from transacting with any crypto entity - essentially shutting down revenues from fiat deposits. Restrictions like withdrawal limits on USD accounts ($10k per month) makes it highly unfavorable for such high-volume merchants to transact in USD via the banking system. A CBDC is a way of the Nigerian government looking at all that activity with the hopes to attract the revenues that flow within crypto, but they miss the fundamental step of favorable trade & monetary policies that increase USD liquidity and opens up crypto officially to capture remittance revenues.

P.S: I’m a Nigerian living in Nigeria
Looks like it is already broken. So is ChatGPT open source like are you able to make this on your own now?
You think so? I would guess not. I'm in my late 30s. I only remember flying in one twice, and I fly way more than the average person.

Beluga isn't that special, if you live where they come and go daily, sometimes several times. Rather annoying, because loud. At least louder than an A380, which is really big, but not as loud.
I was fortunate enough to travel in a Lufthansa 747. I have never felt so joyously overwhelmed by any other vehicle. The newer A350s and A380s unfortunately don’t carry the same appeal for me personally.

The A380 looks real ugly for me resembling the beluga.

747 looks beautiful, majestic and aesthetically very pleasing.

Sad to see this plane approaching the end of its life.

I had a few of those in university, they were a favorite of a particular professor for a while. On the very first exam, given that you had to get 50% of points to get a passing grade, IIRC about 20% had a score above 0.

Those exams got easier after a couple years. I imagine there were some words to be had with the dean.
What blows my mind is that the grand ocean liners (Four Funnel Liners, like the Titanic) were all built over a span of 25 years. So the jet age is already at least twice as long as the era of production of those great steam ships was.
What astonishes me is that they built the 747 first, before the small planes. It’s like Airbus’s birth was initiated with the Concorde, then the mass-passenger planes. All with negative timestamps, since we were before 01/01/1970 (joke).

Leaders of that time knew they had to start with the grandest project before cascading for a full range of smaller products; whereas leaders today roll out an MVP and try to grow from there.

It truly was another epoch, the epoch of mass amounts of money and resources, not little optimizations.
> If ChatGPT can solve your questions what does that say about your questions? That they don't assess the skillet you care about.

Why not? Why does a machine being able to pass a test take away from the usefulness of the test when applied to a human?
> Again, what if there is no static declaration?

So your suggestion is to remove static methods from the language?

> Why would I need to use self to tell the compiler about an instance method? Surely the Rust compiler is smart enough to detect this case and complain if the call site is ambiguous.

Detect what case? There is a dozen and eventually an infinite number of potential instance call ABIs.

And the Rust compiler is generally very much on the “refuse to guess” side of the fence (hence no global type inference), so you have to tell it what it should expect, `self`, `&mut self`, and `&self` have rather different requirements, impacts, and capabilities to say nothing of the rest.

It's not a replication. Only part of the software. Flying obstacles avoiding drone have been in labs for years. As for hardware nobody can beat China where almost all components are made. I can put them together in custom drone, many do it. You can even by a kit on ebay. It will have controller which takes care of balance. It can handle many physical configurations and hover drone in place. All that is needed is external 'decision making device' which will replace the human pilot with remote. Obvious choice is Jetson Nano. There is nothing new here today, that's what I'm saying. Just put things together. To make it work comparably to commercial drone will take significant efforts. Not that much to beat 5-10 years old products. Not sure they even existed 10 years ago.

The funny thing, I may try it. I'm more interested in 360 degree 3d scanner. But having that it's easy to put it on drone. I have a bunch of them, so it will be almost free.
DOS programs loaded fast, since there was around 1MB of working memory. Granted they did not do much, but where responsive, except when needed to do real compute, then you just waited forever.

Windows 3x/9x with first real multitasking and swap - things got quite sluggish. Early browsers were particularly eager of gulping ram and bringing everything to halt.

Nowdays it feels somewhere in the middle with copious amounts of ram stuff can be fast once up and running, but it seems every app either wants to load from web on every step or tries to index your drive on every keypress.

You can't create the set of natural numbers even with the axiom of infinity either, at least not in any first order logic. No first order logic is sufficient to strictly define the set of all natural numbers.

You can technically construct natural numbers in second order logic, at least syntactically, but then the semantics of natural numbers in second order logic does not end up corresponding to what is actually meant by natural numbers.

A good article on this is linked here:

One of the paths to financial success in the Bay Area is dual income households - the high pay for those families make it financially a no brainer to live in the area.

Because sex sells. Where you not aware of this by now? This has been proven to death by now.

And by sex I don't mean the copulation act, but just seeing very handsome and attractive people that trigger your primal mating desires, works in advertising when trying to convince people to buy something from you or give you something (a product, a service, an idea, their time, their money, their attention, their assistance, etc.)

It's why many recruiters, especially in tech, tend to be the attractive female type as it works well enough on the majority male demographic this career attracts.

And why most successful sales people, and to a large degree, managers who managed to climb 'the ladder', tend to be on the tall, athletic, attractive side.

This is completely anecdotal, but I've never ever seen conventionally short males in upper management in any company I worked at so far. It's as if it was a 'jocks club' and you needed the right physique to join.
> I mean, let's assume you post something popular,

The issue is that there's no federated "popularity" metric. Every user that has followers on 17,000 servers has every single one of their posts pushed to all 17,000. Automatically and immediately, not on demand. Posts by users with only a few followers will occasionally go viral, but an outsize portion of the load is due to "whales".

Depending on what you want to do withe the compressed result, then you could also.. tile it. Not great, probably some common data structures get duplicated within the tiles, but maybe that gactors out for really large images?

How could the ratio test possibly be beyond ACA0? The ratio test is just a straightforward special case of the comparison test.

For convenience, let us suppose we are dealing with series of positive terms (since the ratio test is about magnitudes and absolute convergence anyway). Given a series S with limiting value L for ratio of terms to previous terms, and considering a geometric series G for which the same ratio is any value strictly between L and 1, then when L < 1, we have that S is eventually upper-bounded by G and G is convergent, while for L > 1, we have that S is eventually lower-bounded by G and G is divergent.

> They can choose not to navigate to websites they don't trust. They can choose not to run javascript. They can disable css.

How do you settle on (dis)trust about a website? Just as you do with a person, there are 4 ways:

* reputation (meaning someone else already visited it and had to pay with bad experience)

* your own experience (meaning you already visited and were victim of the website)

* intuition (very poor driver, full of biases)

* homogeneity: a checklist of norms and conventions (can easily be gamed)

So in any case, it's either very uncertain or relies on others to throw themselves over the cliff so you can benefit from their experience.

So no, you cannot simply choose to not navigate websites you don't trust. It's just blind navigation and that's what most people, uninformed as they are, do.

This sort of ultra-divided and litigious licensing rights regime that I suspect is why music hasn't yet had a GPT-3/DALLe style machine learning breakthrough that has captured the public's imagination.

Given the monumental size of fastidiously annotated music corpuses available, the quite diligent and far more agreed upon systematisation of various forms of scientific description of musical forms, and the arguably simpler space than some of the more recent advances like 3d object generation and the sophisticated artistic output from the latest 2d image generating models... seems rather odd music has no wildly popular machine learning model, something i could ask "give me 5 minutes of synth-wave by Mozart" or "Prodigy's Firestarter, but without the lyrics"...

... My suspicion is that the entire endeavour is tortured by licensing and at every turn must avoid ever sounding like music that could be owned by someone else, and as a consequence cannot be "popular" as it must be crippled and limited, built to at all costs avoid ever sounding like Taylor Swift, Queen, Aerosmith, et al.

ChatGPT Plays Zork
Mind blown again

AI: I am an AI created by OpenAI. How can I help you today?

Human: Can we play Zork?

AI: Yes, we can. I'd be happy to help you play Zork. Would you like me to guide you through the game?

Human: Yes

AI: Excellent! Let's get started. First, tell me which version of Zork you'd like to play.

Human: Zork I

AI: Alright, let's play Zork I. You can type 'help' to get started and find out what commands you can use to explore the game world. Have fun!

Human: help

AI: Here is a list of commands you can use to explore the game world: look, north, south, east, west, up, down, get, inventory, help. You can also type words like examine, attack, eat, take and use to interact with objects in the game. Have fun!

Human: look

In the US, it's yellowjackets (vespinae, minus the hornets) that are rather annoying. They are attracted to sugar and meat, and sting rather aggressively, which makes outdoor barbecues unpleasant (to put it mildly); paper-wasps (Polistinae) are indeed rather easy to live alongside, but they look quite similar so inherit the bad-rap that yellowjackets have.
this is way to 'promote' CBDC adoption - increase the friction on the use of cash or digital alternatives. From the POV of the central govt, you can see why CBDC makes sense - it will certainly increase state power, and by extension, national power.

I noticed before you said "In the US it's a single union per employer".

In the US a company may have employees each in different unions.

Consider a Hollywood movie studio, where the writers, actors, stage workers, and truckers may all be in different unions.

The US unions are by trade, and I think that's what l3uwin also means for NL.

That said, multi-unionism is indeed more common in Europe, if my reading of Google Scholar is correct. Eg, "Multi-unionism and the Representation of Sectional Interests in British Workplaces" at https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/104346311454631...

> Unlike in the United States, exclusive jurisdiction is exceptional in Europe (Visser, 1992), and unions commonly negotiate with employers simultaneously with other unions on the level of the sector as well as at the company level (Akkerman, 2008). The majority of the European Union member states have multiple labor union confederations, organizing members along political, religious, or occupational (status) lines (Eurofound, 2014). Even in the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, and Latvia— countries with just one union confederation—unaffiliated unions and union representation by several unions within the same confederation exist. Thus, multi-union bargaining is a common if not dominant feature of Western European industrial relations. Sometimes, these unions coordinate their bargaining activities, for instance, by setting joint wage demands and synchronizing the communication to their rank and file. Joining forces increases their bargaining power.
