Coming home from work or from a stressful day out and relaxing and forgetting about everything else. I.e. what good TV used to be in the good old days, even the old web in some parts. People don't want to be reminded each and every minute of their waking hours that there are wars and pandemics going on or that we'll all going to die if we don't recycle the yogurt plastic containers the right way.
Weird, for me (in an european country) every data appears in metric units.
I agree requiring a smartphone in general is a bad idea, but realistically 99.9% of smartphones in the US have iOS or Android. Maybe outdated Android, but I think HN sometimes overestimates the prevalence and practically of alternative smartphone OSs (or gapps-free Android).
When you search for stuff or find something vaguely interesting do you like, share or save it?
The algortithm does require interaction to work but i found it picks up rather quickly. Sometimes a little bit too much so i adjust my behaviour accordingly to not give the impression i want to see it again if i think something is cool as a oneof.

Everything you mentioned is stuck in this inflationary monetary system.

How about this:

Idea: we can grab this land with our troops (assume this is 100% based in reality)

Delusion: 0%

Conviction: idea was checked, is aboslutely correct

Power: 100%

=> Evil = 0 * 100 * 100 = 0

I think the categorical imperative is a way better tool to recognise evil.
Unironically, with their health care system couldn't it also be underreporting and not seeing a doctor if you have a mild case of food poisoning where someone in Europe would just go see a doctor?
Once you have a game that is playable enough for you to really realise that "This isn't much fun to play" you're often too far along to start making major changes.

Same with 'bad' movies. The people releasing the bad movies aren't oblivious to the fact that the movies turned out bad and not what they hoped it would be, but they're out of time, out of money and contractually obligated to get the thing out the door.
Passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc are old outdated technology that can't go away fast enough. They're unfixably insecure...identifying yourself to someone by giving your secret identifying information to them immediately allows them to impersonate you! We've had the technology to fix this problem for close to 50 years now: public-key cryptography. We can't get to a password-less world fast enough IMO.

I know a lot of HN doesn't have much use for blockchain, but if there's one thing that blockchain has done for the world it's been to substantially spur the use and development of public-key auth systems, especially on the UX front. This is because it had no choice. If you try to use an inherently broken password auth system for completely decentralized digital currency, it will immediately descend into unusable chaos because of the vulnerability. Traditional finance (credit cards), government identification systems (social security), etc have so much existing infrastructure that innovating in this area is hugely costly and slow, but it's absolutely the direction we need to go.
It is am improvement from the restaurant's point of view. They get dine-in order and take-out orders through the same system, where they all appear instantly on a reliable system right in the kitchen. Paying waiters to walk to your table, listen to what you want, and either scribble on a notepad or navigate the same annoying website is not a good use of resources.

I know that the restaurant's concerns are not necessarily your concerns, but unlike many other industries, neighbourhood casual dining is competitive enough that the savings probably get passed on to you.
I think they mean from social reprisal rather than a legal one. If they invest in risky projects that turn out to be frauds (and sometimes it feels like everything Softbank is involved with is a fraud - WireCard, Greensill, WeWork, and now this), they probably aren't breaking the law (at least, we'd need a lot more evidence to conclude this is deliberate rather than reckless), but they enable a higher rate of fraud in society. Which sucks for those of us living in it, which is to say, everyone.

I could see the argument for people saying, hey, gigantic VC firms, get your shit together, or we'll create a protest movement to shame you into it. Not because they're breaking the law, but because they're making messes which other people have to clean up.
I'm not sure if customers of FTX should count as investors. They are creditors and should have a senior claim on whatever remains. FTX is just your garden variety scam, not a Ponzi.
The capability is still there, I just tried it.

Did you really try using the same prompts, starting with the very important first prompt "I want you to act as a Linux 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 curly brackets {like this}. My first command is pwd." ?

You get that message "I'm sorry, but I am not capable of acting as a Linux terminal or any other type of command-line interface." if you simply type some text that looks like a linux command without proper preparation.

For a slightly more interesting exploration try starting (after resetting the thread) with this prompt instead "I want you to act as a Linux 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, followed by an insulting explanation. 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 curly brackets {like this}. My first command is pwd."
"Well, if you were to ask me whether I think a group of teenagers is smarter than a chimpanzee"

Well, your example was training a chimpanzee to do it vs. can teenagers use it without training. And I think they can and maybe even think it is cool, but unless you want to harness that coolness retro factor it makes 0 sense to use a rotary phone for actual use. It is way slower and therefore less efficient. But of course it would beat a modern phone that just looks cool, but only randomly works.

Which would be my requirement for any tool. Functionality first, looks second.
Very well written, and something I mostly* agree to

It's hard to avoid working for a company that is in some way evil because in general, companies have no morality. They are amoral money-generating machines. Even if individual people inside them have good intentions, the system is set up to incentivise people to do the bad thing anyway, or to abstract over the bad thing so you won't realise what you're doing.

> The initial problem is to define, quantify, and guard against evil.

Not really. I mean "guard against evil" loosely interpreted includes all of life so it's hard to say.

But spending a bunch of time defining, quantifying what is evil, arguing about the specifics on the internet, that is deep in the weeds exactly where they want you.

Most people have a good enough intuition for it when they see it up close. The menace is in how well we've obscured a lot of the true evil behind layers of misdirection and diffusion. Focus more on developing your innate sense of wrong so you can ably intuit what is actually happening. That is much more practically valuable than getting bogged down in constructing theories of what evil is and what is evil and how much.
scroll down the bottom and read the correction
keep in mind the current iteration of ChatGPT doesn't try to execute the code, its understanding is purely based on "reading" existing code.

This tech could potentially be integrated with a compiler and trained through self-play like AlphaZero (possibly with human guidance at a meta level). They could also add some kind of visual modality for UI code.

Once this happens, 90% of devs that work on CRUD style apps will lose their jobs, imo. The software industry will probably become a lot more stratified, like the music industry - a small percentage of ML researchers and devs making a ton of money at the top, close to zero for everyone else.

Software development is most at risk vs other "soft" industries, because for the most part code either works or it doesn't, and it's fairly easy to check.

I'm surprised the De'Longhi BLE protocol doesn't have _any_ replay attack protection. I get that making coffee isn't a safety-critical operation, but you could do some hilariously annoying denial-of-service on the communal coffee machines.
That’s . . . a good point. And because of the permissions model of browsers they usually don’t have to request to store cookies or localstorage.

On a related note, the best way to destroy a hard drive is to use a plasma cutter or a nail gun.

Firefox beat IE because Microsoft development of the browser stagnated and Windows + IE were struck with a string of massive security vulnerabilities. Firefox was a more featureful, secure, compliant browser out of the box. Non-technical people were tricked into adding search bars and add-ons to IE that massively degraded performance, perhaps some malicious. Pretty easy to instruct the least technical person you know to click on Firefox and the problems go away.

That is absolutely nothing like the environment that Firefox operates in, today. IE was irrelevant to Microsoft's business and revenue. Chrome was (and still is) a core aspect to Google owning search, which underwrites everything else it does.

Even with limitless resources, there is nothing Mozilla could do to make Firefox so much better that it would regain market share against Chrome. And Firefox's primary competitor's enterprise is highly dependent on being in the driver seat, so that isn't going to change.

Firefox is a great browser, and some people may independently decide to use it. But at this point, if you aren't using Chrome or Edge, it's probably because you have been on Firefox since 2005 and see no point in switching, or because you are making an ideological statement against Google (for privacy, or against web engine monopoly).

The universe is almost a trillionaire (in estimated number of galaxies). So it would be like $1 to a millionaire or 1 cent to an average lower class family: inconsequential spare change
I think it's almost impossible unless you start a business yourself and run it without hierarchies, and with everyone involved being treated as as an end in themselves and not just a means to increase the company value. If I ever make enough money (unlikely), it's a quiet fantasy of mine to start a small company in this model.

Personally I will never work in e.g. finance or "defence", but even where I work now could be seen as encouraging throw-away consumerism. It was a very serious consideration of mine when I was looking for a new job. I ruled myself out of some interviews halfway through because I could tell that their product would have rubbed against my morals eventually.

Sometimes I feel like a mug for following my convictions like this. I will never be a manager, I will never invest in the stock market, and I will never own more property than I can use myself.
> It is perfectly fair for different regulators to have different ideas about what is safe.

I'm not saying it isn't, although fairness probably isn't the goal for safety regulations. I'm saying there doesn't exist a continuum of "goodness" that France sits above the US on for worker safety.
To those of you who have a better understanding of this: where would I begin to learn ML programming to build something like ChatGPT?
I know, having to ask a question like that usually disqualifies one in this field, but I would like to focus on learning to build something like that... I have started to learn with fastAI which seems incredible.
But until now i am learning to train a model, not the actual code behind it. I feel most resources are focused on that...

Please don't reject me as too stupid. I probably am, but i would love to have someone push me in the right direction, so i can at least be stupid on the path i'd like to stumble on.
My 2 cents as a complete sperg, who used to work for a company founded by a complete sperg, start a business.

When you're the head honcho, people not understanding your body language or confidence is their problem, and they'll quickly adapt.
> but how can firemen get in the building without wasting precious seconds?

In my experience, the axe is their first option - even if they could get the keys. It's kinda a job perk.
I think that this is an artifact of the training data. In general, we train models on publicly available text, which is generally written by people when/if they became sufficiently confident about something; any discussions where people talk about things they don't know (and admit it) are mostly private and thus only a tiny fraction of the available training data.

So the model training process is looking at a filtered world in which everybody talks (writes) with confidence all the time unless they are asking a question, and it's hard for it to learn a substantially different mode of talking.
just questions in big forums involving senior leaders / peers or other team members, I generally fumble. My body language doesn't show confidence, try to mince words etc.

I step back because i feel i am being judged, or I make wrong statement etc.

What Ive learnt from my experience is that youre body isnt crazy: if it feels afraid, there might be a challenge (or rather, a danger). For me the only way to stop being afraid is to understand it to its core and understand how to beat it (to a reasonable degree).

In your specific case, you're facing a terrific challenge because they are certainly experienced leaders and very emotionally intelligent.

There are many things to know to beat it, its a complex one (which I dont fully understand either) but i know it starts there: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFq5D1Mm/

Perhaps it's interesting to consider who the bad thing is being done to. Consider, for example, working for outlandishly impractical VC-funded ideas, where the main "evil" that's being done is conning venture capitalists into paying for the expenses of a company that will never produce anything of value.
I had the same thought. This article is about cool features in Firefox, and the 3 top comments are about unrelated stuff and/or just toxic. HN is disappointing sometimes.
I'm not saying everyone needs to drive. I'm pointing out that you're saying that NO ONE _needs_ to drive. There's clearly many people who don't get to WFH or simply live in the majority of the US where public transportation is crap

Absolutely accurate, but I think to your point this is the same relationship between companies and employees.

As your product becomes more monopolistic, demand more from users, and you also become the company really smart people want to work at. Thus furthers your innovation which leads to more monopolistic products.
Hardly surprising that restaurants went this way given corona, it was the same here in Norway. Now that both peoples' perceptions and other restrictions have eased, the standard old physical menu is back on the table.

Hello everyone,

We finally launched Edupops, an app with short 1-minute videos on startup and marketing skills.

The idea was to use our free time better. Instead of wasting time with mindless scrolling meowing and dancing videos, we could learn a skill.

We're started with an idea, and a team born and raised in different part of the world. Fast forward 5 months later, we're now so happy to share this idea with you all. It’d mean the world to the team if you’d take out 5 minutes to support our launch, and would be amazing to get some constructive feedback.

P/s: We’re also launched on Product Hunt today, would appreciate your support

Because marketing don't always make the tool on sale.
Obviously you wouldn't do it with just one phone - you'd get a cluster of several hundred/thousand.

I could definitely picture myself as a teenager getting a bunch of shitty old Android devices to make $20 a month, though. My younger cousins will fill out surveys with fake info to make a few bucks here or there.
Breaking news is only one subject matter of journalism. Twitter is definitely better for live events, but some of this content is filtering over to reddit, especially if you look at the comments. For news that is not nearly as time sensitive, reddit has a much deeper trove of content.

What I would say to all of this, is that the length of time is key here. And also that the ice age, plus the jungles of more southern regions, would be exceptionally good at scrubbing smaller human group evidence.

People have known how to salt meats essentially before modern humans. But regardless, fish keeps easily, and dried fruits and nuts are very packable, and simple to make:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemmican

It is beyond simplistic to throw food stores on a two-pole travoline, and drag it behind you. Even more trivial to do so with a sleigh.

Traveling "great distances" without food, when people can stop and fish, or hunt seal, is to me strange, especially when food stores do exist for travel.

To put this another way, virtually every primitive/low tech society we have found, has shown signs of food storage.

So I don't get the "but it is hard to travel" long distances argument.

The artic route is just people wandering around the artic, over the pole. Again, stored food and summer temps.

But that all said, I go back to the timefame. Hundreds of thousands of years, for modern humans, to make it over and over again to fresh territory.

From where I sit, this timeframe alone makes a very strong argument, a third of a million years, which requires proof that it was not difficult, but literally impossible to make the trip.

I would find it beyond bizarre if there were not thouands of "waves".
> If a tool enables a team of 4 do the same things that previously was done by a team of 5, the tool replaced a worker

Only if you believe that demand for work to be done is fixed as the cost of doing it goes down, a belief that was last reasonable to hold about three centuries ago...
That assumes that the application even know to check the "only valid if issued before" flag.
Java uses those formats too.

Java actually solves the complaint in this thread, and has done for a long time. The JDK has its own root store program run by Sun and now Oracle, TLS APIs use the bundled root store automatically, it provides tools to manage that root store, exceptions are easily rendered to users in a generic way, and it provides a mix of high and low level APIs.

What you're probably thinking of is the JKS format. Java defined a way to represent a root store on disk that's Java specific, I think because there was no standard at the time. But it migrated to the PKCS#12 format in recent releases.
