I once asked for a pamphlet from some Raëlians while handing out Mormon pamphlets in Japan. Ours were boring af by comparison to theirs.

Still have it, somewhere...
You could have said that about slavery in the 18th century.

You can, in fact, declare some popular premises morally off-limits.
Do you know the chemical composition of your pan’s seasoning? There are a decent number of carcinogenic compounds (for example acrylamide) produced just by heating natural foods.
In my experience, the far bigger complaints with corporate expense management software is the audit process which kicks back expenses often for random and trivial reasons rather than the software itself--which may not be magical but generally isn't the main source of pain.

Have you ever been out in the rain at 0°C? Or even 10°? Do you even know what it is to be cold and wet?
1 year for this tech to be incorporated into most cheap/free creative tools.

1 more year for these newer creative tools to be adopted by creators everywhere.

1 more year for the humans to completely give up.

You have to remember that tech takes time to permeate to the bottom rung. Most of my non tech friends haven’t even heard of Dall-E, let alone chatGPT.
Most projects have plenty of bad code, nobody cares, as long as it solves the problem.
I posted upstream in favor of nonstick pans, but I will say that oil and butter can be part of a perfectly healthy diet. I'm less sure about fluorocarbons
This cannot happen infinitely. It's a problem with the way we approach the world moving past occupations.

Like, coal miners aren't useful anymore, but just telling the miners to "learn a new trade" is not solving the systemic issue of "if society advances, we should provide more for members of society".
I'm comparing the desktop and mobile links in Chrome on desktop. The mobile link is missing sidebars, some menu items are hidden behind a hamburger icon, and the margins are wider. Perhaps navigation to some other pages would be harder.

But so what? For the purposes of reading an encyclopedia article, it's perfectly readable. The mobile page is better than most desktop web pages out there.
There are many egg preparation methods, e.g. a French omelette or over-easy or sunny-side up, where a non-stick surface (and here I mean either a non-stick pan like Teflon or a well-seasoned traditional pan) is essential. Using scrambled eggs to deglaze an iron skillet definitely isn't one of these methods.
I just encountered this, 2 users[1][2] it's very obvious as well since you can see the reputation spike from basically nothing.

I found concur to mostly work for me. It’s kludgy for sure, but I always get paid and expenses handled fast. Sometimes within a day.
Depends on the kind of math, it can do basic things reasonably consistently, but for other things it will confidently respond with the wrong answer (e.g. matrix arithmetic). In my testing, I found that it will absolutely fail every time at tasks like "sum the digits of the number 1283892"
Why is this demonization of Teflon aka PTFE? I mean yes PFOA and PFOS are pretty bad, but PTFE should be pretty safe if you don't overheat it. I mean I just purchased a non-stick cooking pan and it contained PTFE coating; should I be worried now?
Last night, there was an attack on several power stations by armed right wing groups in North Carolina to shut down drag shows.
Being verifiable beats being verified on Mastodon
tl;dw Apparently there are 5G radios installed in streetlights and graphene in our vaccines, and the graphene somehow reacts when irradiated with 5G to turn into... worms?
I came across this[1] recently. I tested it on content that I used an GPT to help write. It does a good job detecting short content that wasn't "refined" much. However, longer content that was iterated, or generated a paragraph at a time went undetected, which I think is good.

Show HN: Txt2jira – version 2 of smart Jira work logging tool released today
Logging work to Jira does not suck anymore.

Check out second version of the tool that makes your work logging life easy ;)

Since the first version was a POC cranked out in not more than 2 days, the second iteration took me some more time to craft things with much more care.

Have fun checking it out, feedback is appreciated.
> For what it's worth, Searle is a naturalist (so he thinks brains are "just" meaty machines) and he would also disagree with you.

I definitely disagree that Searle's conclusion in the Chinese room experiment applies to the kinds of AI systems we're building today.

I agree that nobody to my knowledge has figured out how to measure sentience, so I don't think that fits under the "measurable" heading. And this does suggest to me — because this was your hand-picked example — that your position as a substance dualist doesn't affect your concrete expectations about what AI systems will actually be able to do in the future. Is that right?
First of all, at least text-davinci-003 is great at doing base64 in its head (see e.g. https://gist.github.com/SonOfLilit/1efe2864d3803ea792c6632ad...).

However, it's really not good at visual stuff (try asking it to draw stuff in ascii art, it doesn't really understand how things look, even things that it can give you a good description of like Homer Simpson).

However, it's much easier to ask it to draw things with code. Or just SVG.

Write an SVG drawing of Homer Simpson

```
<svg width="200" height="200">

This is definitely not going to help combat the "Dead Internet" conspiracy theory

https://theswaddle.com/what-the-dead-internet-theory-predict...
I don't know, but it's probably not just that.
As a random internet commenter, I think I face a bit of a paradox when answering this question. Do you, a random internet commenter, think this is a good paper? Should I believe you and the other people here? Should I look at how many upvotes this has on HN and see it as a sign of credibility, when all the upvotes come from random internet people?
Oh please, general purpose computing used to be all that was available, it used to be the mainstream. Mac, Windows, Linux, all of them are losing marketshare (or didn't have marketshare to begin with) and are locking down to match the UX of the newly favored mobile platforms.

Even on mobile, you have locked down iOS vs open Android and what do consumers choose? Android used to be incredibly open and was badly losing to iOS (outside consumers who just couldn't afford it) as it was open to viruses and fragmentation. Google has since learned from that mistake.

But there's always some other excuse. It's like communism, it's just never been tried, all those tries don't count because some aspect of reality got in the way. So what will it be this time? You don't like Google? Linux too hard to maintain? Say all the reasons that you consider way more important than general purpose computing and you'll have proved their point: users just don't want to.

You know why companies put so much effort into locked down platforms? Because users pay them for it. Anyone, including you, is free to dump their effort into making general purpose computing great again, so why don't you do it? Say why you're not doing it back to yourself, it's the reason why no one else is.
> Because standing at the curb and hailing a nearby car on an app is much more like sticking out your hand and waiving down a cab than it is like calling up a limo company the day before and booking a ride.

The law has to define what is a cab and a what is a car service in a way that doesn't rely on feelings and impressions, but in a rigorous way, and Uber met that law even if using Uber leaves you with the impression of a cab like experience.

In fact, Uber met it in such an obvious and clear manner that no city (at least no major US city) tried to go after Uber by claiming it was a taxi company. They went after Uber for arguing that workers were misclassified as contractors rather than employees, but not for being an unlicensed taxi. Your insistence that Uber was blatantly breaking this law then creates a puzzle -- why didn't the cities see this "blatant illegality"? Perhaps they didn't know their own city codes as well as you do -- you should have written them a letter and explained how it was obvious that Uber was in violation of their codes.

Also, the link you provide doesn't actually say that Uber was aware it was really a taxi company. It is mostly a collection of documents intended to portray Uber as having an offensive culture. How many indictments came out of those leaks? None.
I must concur, imperfect Concur is a major improvement from the past systems of doing travel expenses.
You fool, that's exactly what it wants.
All you're observing here is that metro areas get more conservative as you move from dense downtowns to almost-rural exurbia, and crime tends to track density.

JuiceFS looks like something that could be used with Garage.
I have both a gaming laptop running Linux and a 2021 M1 MBP.

I prefer developing on the Linux gaming laptop, but anything outside of web browsing and raw development (listening to music, Bluetooth, share audio on video conference, gaming, accounting / office work, etc.) is horrible compared to MBP.

The gaming laptop has an RTX 2080, but I play games on the MBP, because Steam works better. I enjoy Steam better on Linux than on Windows, but not enough to waste hours just to relax.

I agree with the softwaredoug that this is probably not a technical problem.

Any proposed solution would only serve to make the next iteration of the model better at avoiding detection (e.g. incorporating a GAN-style training cycle).

Just as with Poe's law, there simply comes a point at which it becomes impossible to recognise AI generated texts just by analysing them. Made-up references might be a clue, but that's very context-dependent.
It’s definitely deindexing pages. It’s been years since I’ve been able to locate one of my old HN rants via Google Search when it used to be the first result. Before all I had to use was my username + a politician’s name that I’ve only ever used once. After looking up the comment with Algolia and adding more keywords directly from the post, Google just gives up
It's performance art with no child inappropriate content?

It is no different than "why is it so important to you for characters at Disneyland to be able to perform for kids."

Drag is not inherently an inappropriate performance art. Yes, sexual drag shows exist. No, not all drag shows are sexual.
Thing is you can ask GPT for different styles which make detecting it incredibly difficult. Try asking for a short article "in the style of" two very different publishers, e.g. Fox News and The Economist.
I followed the stoush between DeLong and Graeber closely, and my strong impression is that Graeber was thin-skinned, vengeful, often inaccurate and unable to stand criticism. DeLong was a bit trolly, but nothing a competent, stable writer shouldn't have been able to handle. This impression is also borne out by my own reading of Graeber's work, and his reprehensible actions as a working academic:

I remember working at a company that got started before cloud took off. They used mogile fs which I recently found at https://mogilefs.github.io/mogilefs-docs/HighLevelOverview.h... but I never hear about anyone else using it. It wasn't as stable as S3 but it was okay, I guess. Does anyone else here remember that distributed open source file system?

When did you start noticing this enter the mainstream? For me it was ~2015. I remember when anime avatars were mocked and ridiculed, and "weeb" was used an an insult. (admittedly both by poeple who did and did not watch anime, but that itself is a point I won't touch on here.)

Yet I find "thing, Japan" to be 10x worse than that. So much so that I stopped watching anime completely. I see the most boring, time wasting and irrelevant videos on youtube in the default youtube homepage (no cookies) that simply have "Japan" in the tittle with millions of views and thousands of comments half about anime and half about how Japan does the thing in the video 10x better than everyone else. And 90% with anime avatars. So much for escapism... Japan is now everywhere.

>take a shot for every random article about Japan that gets to the front page

Just this or last week there was a Japanese university compsci cirlce-jerk here on HN. Apearantly, Japan is known for it's unbeatable hardware design programs, unrivled by any gaijin education. And yes, Japan is of course a top country in tech. But these claims are ridiculus and unfounded, especialy as Japan's hardware industry has been on the delcine. For example, Samsung is rapidly removing them from their supply chain (even the chemicals that ONLY Japan can produce, or something) and Chinese cameras have made it into the S23 Ultra. Of course little to no mention of Korea in the replies to that post desipte being a leader in almost all hardware tech: DRAM (1); Fabs (2); display (1); smartphones (2); SSDs (1 or 2) and recently some "heavy industry and chemicals" that Japan is still known for.

I don't hate Japan, far from it, but this needs to stop.
I mean, the unit test one is open for debate for sure. First one can be more black and white. Third one is a grey area as well
When I read such articles, I just can realize how happy I am for having a family. Sure my pandemics was not perfect, but to have always the digital brake, go outside, play with my kids, cook with my wife and enjoy the life together. We spent so much time together and was the time that I was able to spend more time with them. in times where traditions such as family and children are daily undermined, it has never been so important to have one by your side.
Most of the article is spent on explaining why e-ink is unacceptable for art and why no-one wants this. Clearly nonsense. I want an e-ink display for showing art, regardless of the quality.
So is this supposed to be a simpler, less "omg you need a full time staff of 10 to manage" version of Ceph?

Sometimes they work together! I submitted an email receipt and it kept getting rejected because Concur only shows the first page of a multi-page PDF unless you go through some very non-obvious navigation to see the whole thing.
Anecdotally people in their mid/late twenties + thirties are often the most tolerant. Teenagers and young adults are often more extreme in their views and hence often less tolerant.

I'd argue the reason some grow less tolerant in the later half of their life is just that people often just stop giving a shit.
Questions that show the weakness of AI chatbots
I did `curl icanhazip.com` and it spit out the "local" private IP. I told chatgpt that icanhazip would never do that, and it revised the answer to 37.48.80.166, which is an IP owned by LeaseWeb.
Come to think of it, Deutsch, Schorr and Waite’s algorithm for traversing a data structure by reversing pointers within it can also be viewed as a form of a zipper. Except that DSW’s algorithm predates the zipper.

DSW’s algorithm is used in the mark phase of garbage collection. It traverses and marks all reachable data in constant space.

There is actually huge labor shortage (aka wage inflation)(and growing).
Baby boomer retiring will mean even more shortage of skilled people.
The problem will be lack of employees due to low birth rate and onshoring.

I am not sure what this AI system can do in the real economy? Have you seen those deployed?

The only thing that I see affected is google.
exactly, in times where traditions such as family and children are daily undermined, it was critical to keep sane and happy in such hard times.
I haven't been to Florida for many years but this was my experience, when the rain drops it's like being in a shower. You keep wearing light summer clothing so you dry out quickly even if you get caught.
Reminds me of Robert Liston and his 300% mortality surgery:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMra1202392

Liston operated so fast that he once accidentally amputated an assistant’s fingers along with a patient’s leg, according to Hollingham. The patient and the assistant both died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality.
As the author mentions. This was a failure on and down the chain, from QA to PMs.

When I see software like this, it reeks to me of contractor work. We hire them to handle something that we don’t have time for our core team, and or something not very important.

The result is the devs do a minimal job to get paid. QA doesn’t care and the PMs either didn’t see it, or have bigger fish to fry.
Yo. Ignore that shit. All this effort over nothing.
MarcoPolo – or how I implemented Wi-Peep

There's also a documentary on netflix about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_We_Know

I grew up in the area during the worst of the dumping. It destroyed basically all of my baby teeth and created cavities in a couple of adult teeth that no dentist has ever seen before. None of us at the time understood why it was happening. I had so many teeth basically just crumble that I had steel caps on one with a spacer where another was missing. Both my parents assumed it was something I was doing/poor care when I was at the other one's house. Turns out it was the goddamn water supply.

My stepdad actually worked at the plant long enough to retire from there too. I think he had mesothelioma from asbestos, or god knows what from the plant.

A lot of people in the area were heavily contaminated: https://www.uc.edu/news/articles/legacy/healthnews/2017/05/h...

To anyone impacted by this. Here are a few things you might want to check, other than the obvious user mailbox migration.

0. Set your MX record TTLs as low as possible. Even if you aren't ready to change over yet, it will lower propagation delay when you are ready to cut over.

1. Lower your DMARC record TTL, and consider changing it to report only (p=none). If you keep it strict (P=reject), be sure to check your reports for rejections after any changes.

2. Aliases in rackspace aren't in the mailbox list export. This isn't just Bill instead of William, but also info@domain.com or helpdesk@domain.com etc...

3. Allow lists/block lists can be exported from rackspace, and imported in Microsoft but consider starting over from zero if you can. Allow lists are risky.

4. If you are using any advanced email threat protection tools such as Barracuda or Mimecast, they can queue email for re-delivery once the new MX is up.

Seriously, you don't owe anyone your time to have a pointless debate. Boundaries are important, as is not wasting your own time. You explain the rules, you're done, conversation over.
So to be clear I’m not talking about UBI or nationalization. I agree there’s big problems with that. Nationalization can work well for things like railroads, but I’m talking about something else.

Specifically I’m advocating for an economy comprised of a federation of cooperatives. There would be no nationalized Walmart, instead there would be community owned cooperative stores that achieve economies of scale through voluntary federation with similar stores in neighboring regions, or across even wider areas. Health care could be managed by regional cooperatives, again federated.

An important part would be a culture that avoids buying from businesses outside of this federated arrangement. Traditional businesses controlled by a small board of directors can under pay workers and try to undercut competition, but businesses in the federation would understand the importance of building their own solutions to these problems to prevent control by large entities.

This might work similar to housing in Vienna. There, the city government owns about 50% of all housing units, and this keeps the privately owned housing prices in check. In a federated economy, perhaps 50% of the businesses would be cooperatives, but they would keep workers rights and wages at privately owned businesses in check.

One thing about cooperatives is that workers will have a tendency to want to automate their jobs. For profit businesses are happy to under pay workers and only automate if it makes financial sense. But cooperatives may have more incentive as more automation can mean less work for them personally. Cooperatives also may have less incentive to create artificial demand and low quality products. If they are essentially making products for themselves and people like them, they will appreciate quality products that last longer, reducing waste.

I’m happy you’re working on more solutions to fund F/OSS. Nothing I’m talking about will support developers in the near term. I prefer solutions that make our economy more like F/OSS rather than the other way around, but one is easier to change than the other.
The problem being that everybody always wants to force someone else to be the one to have no children and a crappy standard of living, while they get to be one of the people selected to remain.
I belive both versions are technically correct (I'm not a linguist), but your suggestion is less ambiguous
I actually wrote about this, describing how I used ChatGPT to solve Day 4 of Advent of Code: https://tab.al/posts/adventures-with-chatgpt/

There you can find the prompt that allowed ChatGPT to provide a working solution. It is a bit hit and miss, but you also gotta make sure any assumptions are explicitly noted in the prompt.
This is where Bob claims to be an expert on Alice's motives (the motives that all people with her opinion secretly have), refuses to further participate in any discussions that allow Alice to contribute, and accuses anyone else who allows Alice to participate of carrying water for trickle-down economics, racial superiority, social spending, flat earthism, the divine right of kings, debt-to-GDP ratio-hacking, systemd, etc etc.

edit: not begging the question is literal racism.
Well, great. That sounds consistent. One minor point thought, political bias doesn't mean the platform leans in that direction, but rather the platform is actively pushing in that direction by censoring opinions on the opposite side. I don't think Twitter was right-leaning this way before, and I would rather it stay truly open for everyone. It's different if the platform is open, everyone has a voice, and the culture still pushes it in one or the other direction.
Well, seeing as we didn't get rid of slavery, but rather outsourced it, no you can't.
