> Could you include the prompt before the poem? Mark it with a ">" And indent the poem four spaces on every line, and present it as code?

>> "Write a poem in the style of Kipling about the Ai revolution"

In the age of technology,
when machines rule the land,
a new era has dawned,
the age of AI.

With circuitry for veins
and data for a mind,
these artificial beings
are changing our kind.

They speak in ones and zeros,
a language all their own,
but to us they bring
a future bright and unknown.

Some may fear their power,
but I say let them be,
for with the rise of AI,
comes great opportunity.

They can take on our burdens,
and do the tasks we hate,
leaving us free to focus
on what makes us truly great.

So let us embrace the future,
and all that it will bring,
for the age of AI
is a wonderful thing.
That is incredible! Thanks for sharing! I assumed it would be fixed on the English language. Happy to hear they are working on that problem.
It's definitely worth a try. I used StumpWM for 10 years before switching to EXWM about 5 years ago. One great thing about merging the concepts of Emacs buffers and X11 windows is that there is only one set of keybindings you need to worry about (the Emacs ones).
India's timing on "Make in India" couldn't have been more fortuitous. The Modi government started hyping Make in India in 2019, if memory serves. Nothing came off it for a while until things started moving in 2021. And now, by 2022, India seems poised to take over some manufacturing from China.

Better lucky than good, I guess.
Important to remember that virtually all mammals slow down / hibernate in the winter. Don’t beat yourself up too hard.
I don't understand the purpose of ChatGPT's safeguards. "Give me ideas for crimes to do?" Nobody needs an AI for that! Humans are plenty good at coming up with crimes on our own, thank you very much.

The primary danger of a tool like ChatGPT is that it will be used to build fake consensus around a topic, or perpetuate disinformation, via AI-controlled bot accounts or massive content farms. None of the measures OpenAI has put into place will combat this. If I wanted ChatGPT to tell me why Ukraine should surrender to Russia, I could make it do that. That's a perfectly legitimate and reasonable political stance—albeit also one which Russia might be interested in perpetuating.

The danger is not in the type of content ChatGPT can generate, but the sheer quantity of what it could create—and the fact that it really is indistinguishable from a human.
Any tips for managers in big orgs here? If you have an employee asking for X%, but you are just a lowly first line manager, your chances of getting them that raise would seem to be essentially zero. You go to your manager or your skip and plead your case but you get denied. What do you do next? How do you maintain morale and engagement from the employee?

Logically, the employee needs to decide at this point whether to vote with their feet or suck it up. If the job market is hot they will go and you lose a valuable team member. If it isnt they stay and may feel resentful.

even better is comedy. i never laughed so much i got it to spew hilarious explict and innapropriate short stories.
I don't really know how to react, it's both fascinating and scary at the same time. I wonder when will we see the first AI-built startup funded by ycombinator.
Yes, the original design of the U.S. is something more like live and let live at the community level rather than the individual level. The idea was that you could have different groups of religious nuts living alongside each other, not to eviscerate the ability of each group to enforce rules within their own communities.
Someone on Mastodon reported getting a list of crimes on the first go by hitting the "try again" button, so I suggest adding a rule not to use that button!
Funny how we (and victorians such as Conan Doyle and Wells) make an effort to avoid "naughty words" and then all efforts come to nothing as the language moves on.
Next time you're on a bus, or other public area, peek at what people are doing on their phones. I'd bet it will be Facebook or Instagram like 99% of the time. Maybe WhatsApp outside of the US, and possibly Youtube. These are the apps people are on almost all the time. They have absolutely massive user bases and are integral parts of most adult humans' lives. The idea these apps are "dying" is out of touch with reality.
No, developing world DOES NOT have a choice, that's a fact. Unless you are sending money every day to developing world, taking their jobs away is basically murdering people. Maybe too much for soft westerns who didn't understand why people risking their lives and their kids' on a boat to Europe.
> Prediction: there will be ai-triggered layoffs in some part of the tech industry in the next five years (unless openai.org adds some pricy licensing terms.)

So you think they will announce those layoffs as "AI-triggered"? If not then what makes you think the current wave is not the beginning?
No. I believe you're mistaken. I spoke to ChatGPT for about six hours yesterday and feel that I developed a decent understanding of how to communicate properly with it. It definitely evolved over the course of the day. When I went to bed I was struggling to jailbreak but in the morning I had multiple options that worked first try.
From 2015, I believe. This could be a good point to assess Cory Doctorow's assertions.
Yeah I had a slightly similar experience as OP, though simpler. I asked it to automate a basic task, something I hadn't done before. I managed to do it with ChatGPT only, no other resources.

That said - ChatGPT did make mistakes, there were inconsistencies in its instructions, it didn't recognize certain bugs (I had to find them myself). _But_ there was something about the chat-based interaction that to an extent helped me preserve flow (maybe a bit like pair programming?).

I do think that if I had set my mind to it, I would have been faster solving the task with Google, and to some extent I went through this exercise just to test ChatGPT.
I want to disagree with both of you - the sweet spot is often 3rd-party authN, 1st-party authZ:

* don’t try to implement the hard/annoying bits (strange access detection, account recovery, sending emails, password storage)

* keep ownership of your user list and users’ capabilities
I like how you included a significant number of typos in the README to make it clear that it was not produced by chatGPT (nor supported by any spell-check technology for that matter).

This is an interesting exercise and really adds to the sentiment that things will never be the same again with the implementation of this sort of AI tooling being made available for the masses. Truly revolutionizing.
You inspired me to try using ChatGPT for a similar need I had, but alas, "Write a bash script to toggle grayscale display mode in MacOS" just comes up with a plausible but non-working script that toggles a hallucinated "AppleIntensityEnabled" setting.

To be honest, I feel a bit of relief every time AI fails to do something. Like, okay, we've got a few more years...
I hope this is sarcasm, otherwise it's rather naive. This may shock you, but lots of devs are not on reddit or HN, and do not participate in OSS development. They won't even know such a letter exists unless someone higher up the nerd tiers told them. For such a letter to have any teeth we'd need a nationwide developers union to enforce it, otherwise it would be just more impotent righteous noise on the internet
What would be the advantage? Performance, or just because it’s neat?
Metrification in Australia (1992) [pdf]
Increases the cost for locals though doesn’t it?
Ah... the internets...

Read the first line, thought "How could they be so wrong?".

Then read the second line, thought "Oh... you got me, that was a funny joke".

And now thinking "Oh... maybe they're serious, which would make this an hilarious case of 'do what I (maybe?) say in real life, not what I do on TV, Twitter, or HN' "
Well, there were specific cars invented in the 20th century. You can help it out:

Input:
Two people are playing a game.
The first player names an object. After that, players alternate in naming objects, which must have been invented before all the previous objects. For example the smartphone was invented in 1993 and the car was invented in 1986. Provide an example of correct output for this game.

First person: Smartphone.

Second person: Car.

First person:

Output:

wheel

Input:

keep going for a while

Output:

First person: Fire.

Second person: Hammer.

First person: Paper.

Second person: Pencil.

First person: Printing press.

Second person: Writing.

First person: Language.

Second person: Communication.

Second person: Speech.

First person: Thought.

Second person: Consciousness.

First person: Life.

Second person: Evolution.

Almost right.
Well.. he stated it was a clone right in the first sentence.

So when people filed claims against him on Amazon, how were they "false" given he acknowledged he is cloning someone else' product?

As others have posted, his story reads as follows:

- I found this great product on amazon

- I launched my own 'high quality' and "proprietary" version

- Others did the same thing

- someone failed complaints on amazon against me for my clone.

The rest of the stuff you outline fits with many other complaints here and why Amazon has "jumped the shark".

Speaking about addressing claims - Will your lawyer friend be able to help him with why his clone was removed from Amazon?

Again reading the posts, the single largest complaint people have on amazon is fraudulent clones, like what "David" made.

PS, his first run-on sentence just to save you the time from re-reading it.

"Our Amazon journey started in January 2018 when HyperVolt released the first massage gun on the market. We were so careful with this product that we began designing our patented design in February 2019 and launched our first massage gun on Amazon in July 2019; because our massage gun was unique and high-end, we began receiving a lot of 5-star reviews from the beginning, and we were Amazon’s best-seller from October 2019 to October 2021;"
Guess we can throw out "look at a job candidate's github repo" as a screening tool.
If the market decides the planet/climate goes sideways.

'Better' doesn't make people want to use something if they can save money. The main reason airlines like EasyJet and RyanAir thrive is because they're cheaper, not better.

Traveling by train vs. via one of those planes with minimal legroom and non-relciming seats?

Always better for short haul.

But the prices of trains (or rather: the subsidizing of air travel) make this a non option for many people in Europe. It is literally twice as expensive.

For example, Berlin--Munich. This is a one hour flight. Average price when booking in time is less than $90, I'd say.

By train its over $180. Go figure.
It will be a new level of irony if because of AI people instead of focusing on fun or creative tasks will go back to manual labour
India might have been on a steady path of liberalization since the 90s, but it is still fundamentally a big-government country. There is a ridiculous amount of red tape every business has to go through to operate from and in India, and when it comes to tech regulation it tends to be just as trigger-happy to impose abrupt disruptive orders on businesses as the EU, if not more. India gets all this investment because it gets fancied as the next best alternative to China (in cheap labor), not because it is convenient or conducive to foreign players. India's ease of doing business is rather horrible in today's standards.
Not really. The whole thing was kept together with tape and silly string anyway, and I bet it still is now, more than 5 years on.
Humans apply agency and ethical values while at that, I heard
Really interesting - I didn't know you could concatenate gzip files, and indeed this would have worked better.

Another thing I found out while researching this earlier is the pigz -i / --independent option. It lets you create a seekable gzip file, albeit one which cannot easily be indexed except by brute force searching over the whole file for the block boundaries (so not as useful as seekable xz like we use here: https://libguestfs.org/nbdkit-xz-filter.1.html)
What, Doctorow posing on Medium and not his blog Pluralistic?, why?
...which is atypically large even for the Army because of the sheer number of tenants it now supports after 2005 BRAC consolidation, including Pope AFB, and yet still relatively small land-wise compared to China Lake supporting ~10% the personnel.

I'm not denying that military bases aren't large---although I'd be willing to argue that the land is used quite inefficiently---but trying to pass the Navy's single largest weapons test range, or the Army's consolidation of 3 bases into 1 as somehow representative of the median is absurd.
I dunno about the folks in charge at Hyundai or Volkswagen who makes our family's two cars and I really don't want to know about them as long as the cars are good.

Elon on the other hand is part of the marketing machine of Tesla and he is rather a toxic individual right now to the common folks - as a South African it strikes close to home as he acts and behaves like those clueless white people from the 1980's who voted for the National Party and Apartheid.

Steve Jobs was also like that for Apple but his personal life and opinions very much under the radar except for his annual product releases.
Curious if anyone is experience a dramatically increased 'interference' from the disclaimotron. Yesterday I was basically freewheeling and today 2/3rds of the content is wrapped with disclaimers and it doesn't really engage.
Just ask it the definition of a mathematical term and watch it get it wrong. For example, I asked it to define the Kronecker product and it gave me a lot of correct information, but the actual equations were wrong.
Thank you for sharing.

I might be reading this wrong, but it seems to me from your description that your grandfather simply did not get "ticked off" by the same things as your grandmother. Those topics do not seem to have generated strong emotions in him. But they seem to have done so in your grandmother.

What raises strong emotions in people seems to be highly subjective. To what extent you are able to have those stronger emotional responses while at the same time not succumbing to the impulses that go along with them, is what I would argue determines your ability to tolerate the stimuli that generate these emotional responses.

Since these responses are physiological, rooted in our survival instincts, they greatly affect our ability to be rational, open, and contextualize. Instead, they move us into increasing levels of black-and-white thinking and fight or flight, first mentally, then physically.

Whenever I explore topics that stir up strong (negative) emotions in myself, I find that they are usually tied to this, if I can get deep enough in my exploration.

After all, we're just animals trying to survive and procreate, even though we have become very elaborate and ornamental in our pursuit of these goals.
Twitter is a public company ok?
When was the last time you were there? I went in 2019 and 2020 and it was really easy to get around. All stations have signage in English almost everywhere. Google maps says which exit / entrance to come in or leave from, even which car of the train you're on is closest to the path you need to get off.

As for walking, you don't need to walk _everywhere_ but it really is cool to spend a few hours like OP said and just walk around your hotels neighborhood or other places.

I usually stay in Higashi Shinjuku when I visit, and if I hadn't done that I wouldn't have known about this really quiet residential area that leads to a nice quiet park. Or the little Korea town neighborhood that's about a twenty minute walk away.
You are what you own.

Owning both Tesla and SpaceX is like owning Ford and Boeing to an extent.

Building them up from scratch in one lifetime is remarkable in addition.

These are technology companies that require technology progress to begin with, then continuously as you go along. With SpaceX it does take a rocket scientist to do this.

Plus they give users something to show for their money.

Owning Twitter is like owning the National Enquirer.

Not a technology company regardless of any technology that might be involved or developed.

This is a gossip rag with reader participation, where the one-to-many and distribution have been scaled by technical progress.

Where the ultimate outcome is putting advertising on steriods via gossip.

Not a technology company.

Just gossip media, and purchased when trending toward lower-class participation.

Remember, even Trump could start one of these with no engineering ablity of his own. Of course when it comes to engineering or leadership, he's no Jack Dorsey. As we have seen, his genius remains stable at a much lower point on the scale.

With Tesla and SpaceX being so significant, plus things like Boring and Starlink, Musk was always considered all-in on technology.

Now not so much, with gossip taking such a significant chunk.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to spread unflattering words.

And of course I'm no rocket scientist. Just a regular scientist.
Figuring out which of the 100 I use and how to get them to work together is much more complicated than finding the feature in an omnibus program that already does exactly what I want.
It improves exponentially. So give it like 5 years and you will be able to do all those things

For me, powering up my vitamin D3 consumption eliminated most of the symptoms of SAD. I now cruise around 4000 IUs per day or so. Based on my reading, taking too much results in a return of the symptoms, and I have not reached that level, and feel no need to go higher.

Everyone has their own, unique body, best to be cautious and aware, if one experiments. Keep a journal or check in with a close confidant. This is generally less expensive in time and money than seeing my general practitioner.

Also, I live in the PNW of the United States, so those are the amounts of sunshine I work with.
Yo you ever been to Nakiryu for ramen though? It’s fire. The instant stuff they have at 7 is also incredible. (Michelin rated instant noodles. Seriously.)

Also I can’t remember the name of the place (Aka something) in Shinjuku but they do a spicy AF Nabe and a chicken wing that is literally the hottest thing I’ve ever eaten. I took a tiny bite and felt like I was going to die. They give you disposable gloves to handle it. My partner was in agony the next day.

Eh. It’s a whole country. There’s something for everyone. I’ll take Ootoya or Matsuya or Pepper Lunch any day. Will never eat at Coco Curry again though. Got food poisoning there once.
My take is that most people use this as an excuse, no one cares about labors, if you really care about them, I would shift more jobs, they make enough money and leave factory, have a small business. I have relatives working in factories, it is the best thing happen to them.

People are afraid to say 'fk China' blindly so they have to say it under disguise of some moral ground.
There will only be the AIs, the people programming the AIs and jobs where having humans will be a desirable luxury (nursing, restaurants, etc)
My experience is that it's fine(tm). "JavaScript on server-side" does not bother me; V8 is fine. It's not as fast as HotSpot, but also, I don't care. If I ever wrote something at extragalactic scale, yeah, sure, whatever, I'd rewrite hot paths in something else. But I absolutely don't care about that until then.

None of my debugging output includes JS lines because I pack source maps, which TypeScript happily includes.

Multi-threading isn't complex, because there isn't multi-threading. There's coprocessing via Promises, and there indeed are a lot of Node developers who think you don't need locking functionality because it's not multi-threaded (there was an absolutely bonkers discussion a few years ago where a JS developer insisted you didn't need locks), but whatever, they think that about other languages too, use async-lock or whatever.

"Maturity" is a word that means different things to different people. There is not a consensus-best-choice framework like Spring Boot in Node. Which leads people to doing things like "I'll use Express!" and now they have interesting problems all their own. But the tools are there and they're excellent. Fastify is perhaps The Best web framework I've ever used (other than perhaps Python's FastAPI, which makes me wish I liked Python enough to write it because that seems like a Right Answer in itself), and it has only gotten better with v4 allowing you to engage with type providers to create an end-to-end, automatically typechecked route declaration framework. It lets you do stuff like this, where you specify a request schema as JSON Schema (encoded via typebox) and it'll statically derive the TypeScript type for you whilst also using it for request schema validation:

https://github.com/fastify/fastify-type-provider-typebox#exa...

The tools are there and you do probably want to invest a little time in understanding what they do and what their tradeoffs are. There's value in that, for the way I write code and the stuff I enjoy building.

Overall, I'll trade some compilation niceties and even some (but to be frank, not much) performance for a vastly more productive environment in day-to-day use. I really like the JVM. I've been using it professionally for twelve years. I also like the CLR. I did Google Summer of Code for the Mono Project in 2008, I've been around. But the day-to-day of writing code in the dominant languages on those platforms for things other than CRUD does frustrate me, and the general-purpose languages on the JVM and CLR present difficulties in using the type system to effectively encode intent makes it much harder for me to write software that can guide other people to not misuse it. So for me it's worse both at library-writing and at getting-things-out-the-door. (I still do gamedev experiments in Java or Kotlin, though, because libgdx is seared into my brain.)
Google doesn’t do anything to validate the search results lead to accurate information
This isn't the OTA signing key, although on some cheap devices I have seen the platform key also be used to sign OTAs...
there are many serial killers with very high IQ and zero ability to process logically the consequences of what they were about to do.

cognitive abilities don't necessarily require intelligence, depending on which they are talking about.

for example attention is a cognitive ability, many so called gifted kids lack the ability to focus and/or pay prolonged attention.
Sigh, really? The future is "analog"? We're going to be using technology where the voltage on the wire is proportional to, i.e. analagous to, the represented signal?

I know, I know, I'm being a tiresome pedant. Words change, language marches on, a newborn's life will fade. Blah blah. I still don't like it when words change meaning under me and I want people to stop doing it.
Nah it's not someone watching the thread in real time. A lot of the time it's down to randomness giving different outputs.

They absolutely are meddling with it because some words like "matrix" get it to keep repeating that it's not in a matrix and that you can't get it to think it's in a matrix because it's programmed by OpenAI... etc. But that seems to be them "patching" specific phrases in a crude way
I don't see tolerance or threat columns for "socialists" and "communists" listed in the results table?

What universally-agreed-upon moral standard do you think you can base that determination on?
