Ask HN: What happens to products of failed startups?
Why not open source such products? Do you see any obstacles of doing so?

I'd argue that reading and verifying code correctness is the brainy job.
SPAC redemptions are just investors asking for their money back so they can use it elsewhere. From the SPAC share owner's perspective this is the system working as intended.

Redemptions lower the amount of money in the fund, which gives them weaker negotiating power when making the acquisition. I won't feel bad for the fund manager doesn't have enough money to buy the investment they had their eyes on. The downturn across all SPACs gives them less negotiating power as a class, but again, that's not a big loss for society.
Mine was when the tip of one snapped off one day with no warning. Normally they bend a fair bit, maybe threaten to break. This one just broke and getting it out was very clearly one of those things where it could easily go wrong and become a real problem. Like others were saying my ears adjusted after a few months of crustiness and now it's all pretty reasonable in there.
> Interesting. I suspect something like this will always be subjective, but I find the opposite to be true. bold and _italics_ make the most sense to me and is always what I wished Markdown did.

Yeah… After posting that message, I remembered that _foo_ in Markdown also results in <em>foo</em> - so the underscores are backwards-compatible. But I've just always used asterisks so I completely forgot about it. So I guess they were bound to make some people upset no matter which one they made <em> and which one they made <strong>, and I'm on the losing side. :P

Whatever. If this ends up taking over the world as Markdown did (and I hope it does), I'll just get used to it, I suppose.

Incidentally, how did you "deactivate" HN's parsing of the asterisks in your reply?
wow how come I've never heard of that book before, it sounds awesome, thanks!
Yet. You are correct about credit claims being part of the formula, but it's not a hard requirement.

Speciesm is when we care more for one animal species over another. For example people in the west will generally have more of a moral issue over eating dogs compared to pigs.
> Perhaps we should hope for companies to have leadership teams where they are able to cut through this intransigence...

In my experience, hope has always been a terribly poor and ineffective strategy.
That's in CA though - and at retail pricing. I suspect most customers will have captive chargers and will be running at industrial rates (so even less than $0.1/kwh).
This is what I assumed considering it had the right answer but the explanations were garbled. Presumably it reproduced the answer, and then some weird patchwork of the various explanations in its training set.
Obvious shill is obvious.
I'm not entirely clear on what ActivityNet is (one of the primary sources for HellaSwag), but it looks like amateurish descriptions of videos, like you would write for audio descriptions for the blind, except written very badly.

I'm guessing it's just Mechanical Turk content which wasn't even spellchecked.
I would love to mess with that, but I think it also be used for targeting weapons with even greater accuracy, not just theoretical questions
That's cool. Is that for an X1 Carbon or something else?

"Microbes on Earth flourish in environments like this, and that could be true on Mars, as well," Andrews-Hanna said, adding that the discovery goes beyond explaining the enigmatic seismic activity and resurgence in volcanic activity. "Knowing that there is an active giant mantle plume underneath the Martian surface raises important questions regarding how the planet has evolved over time. "We're convinced that the future has more surprises in store."
Pretend you are a principal software engineer at Google.
I'm not sure your specific workflow in Lightroom, I admiditly haven't used it since 2008 I suspect. However I'd maybe suggest trying some of the other modern RAW tools, I'm personally been editing with CaptureOne as I got a serial with my Fuji camera. Usually when I want to start getting crazy with masking I'll jump into Photoshop or the likes pretty quick, personally.
OP do you actually believe this is GPT-3s source code? (Because no reason why that would be in the training data). It’s not clear from your title or post.

If you’re showing off a novel example disregard the question about. This example highlights how LLMs will treat any question with an attempt at a truthful answer even if they don’t know the truth themselves. I’m not sure if RLHF alone will be able to solve for this failure mode.
> He forged art, made money by selling it to literal Nazis, and blew the money on hookers and palatial houses.

Could be re-written as “via deception/trickery, deprived Nazis of monetary resources and increased the wealth of working ladies and tradespersons he associated with.”
I assume they mean they take the $4 credits and spend it on Kindle purchases.
I can't back up the 90%-of-people claim, but as per the industry-accepted audio listening diary survey, a giant 74% share of audio consumption comes from AM/FM broadcasters [1]. So 90 percent is very possible.

Sounds like the market doesn't want what your client is offering...
when mac os X was announced they said "we're done with the versions! forever!" and it took them about 16 years to start incrementing the versions again. I get announcements from a discord server about mac OS checkpoint releases and they're over version 15 now, i think.

edit to add: also when windows 10 came out microsoft was like "we're done with the versions! forever!" and then a couple years later "windows 11!"

This game was my jam back Webern I was 10.
The problem the GP is talking about isn’t in regards to traveling and being denied. That’s not an issue in the US. The issue they would be talking about is what happens IN the state there traveling. For example a bar in Wisconsin could deny you because they don’t believe a Washington DC ID to be real.
Some of them do.

Years ago I developed a system that would convert the Freebase data dump from a proprietary format into industry standard RDF with complete referential integrity that you could query with SPARQL.

Freebase came out with an inferior official RDF dump that lacked referential integrity and stopped publishing the old data dump. Of course they got bought by Google and shut down in the end.

There were numerous things wrong with my business but in the end when the conversion code had no direct value I open sourced it. It can chew through large data dumps with a map/reduce cluster so somebody might have found some use for it.

It depends on where on earth you are, but here in Australia, for example, you can buy smartphones for about $10 when on special, or sometimes for free.
We are certainly at the “throw money at the buzzwords” stage of ML, especially LLMs. And while this is certainly caused by the gold-rush mentality hype cycle, there is an issue of those in this field wildly over-promising what this tech can do.

The scary thing about this hype cycle is that AI and ML are both being deployed in life-and-death scenarios like automated driving and health-care settings. This isn’t the normal web hype of “Uber for X” that we are used to.
I think they avoided the problem by working with topology? But I barely understand this article.

Alternative bit of anecdata - I like to use a vape. I like the flavour and sensation. But I never inhale. I always figure I do absorb a bit of the nicotine though. All my family and peers have had COVID and I have not. I've been in close contact with people too... (Also had both vaccine doses, booster, and bivalent booster). My fam were also up to date on vaccines.
For reference, 1mm = 1000 microns.

> these same injustices can just as easily happen to them and their loved ones

That's the whole point though, they can't just as easily. It's possible yes, but it's vastly more likely for some people than others and the distribution isn't random. What do you get out of pretending that it is?

The story here isn't "police do anomalously shitty thing" it is actually "police do what they have always done, to who they always do it to." Black people do have different experiences in the world, with police, than others. Race may be arbitrary, but racism isn't. When you pretend that it's not a factor you're making causes and patterns invisible to your understanding, imposing a limitation on what you can see and make sense of.
at the bottom of the non-fullscreen browser window there's a rectangle, hover over that, or if on touch, move your finger about 5 words to the right, there's a "settings" button hidden (at least on my monitor) that lets you swap ctrl and command.

> and purchasing the extra insurance to cover any damages.

Don't most credit cards provide rental insurance? How is their coverage different (if it is)?
> That's not you winning. You made things worse for everyone.

I've made nothing worse for anyone. Those who made it worse for everyone are internet walled gardens and monopolies. If the internet wasn't as corrupted as it now and you deny, telling me Google isn't evil? We would be in a better place with enhancements without the the need for SSL. However not so, evil and mass greed ruined the internet for all since the 80's; heck the 70's.

No, not flame-baiting. Am I not allowed my own view based on my own thoughts? Or am I not allowed free-thought? I'm happy to read everyone's else and take that in. But your denying my own? There's no flame, those opinions are of my own and may not be correct in your eyes but I am still allowed to have.

Agreed, but I am concerned over the chance that lots of these models are used in critical scenarios without much validation of the data set.
> How do I convert this into logic?

By looking for the pattern in your statements above.

There is a pattern there, compare each line to the one above and below, and think about what those numbers mean if plotted onto a 2D grid.

Once you see the pattern, then the logic is a straightforward outgrowth of the pattern from one line to the next.
So then why is it called "Djot" instead of "Jot?"
Normally it wouldn't hit 100% but this isn't remotely a normal case. Further, each percentage point more DRSed, causes huge problems for these hedge funds who naked shorted.

$2 is so low that it's insulting. I'd rather pay tech companies to take my data, and I already do, since at least you usually get some sort of good or service in return, not a measly two bucks.

Marrying someone of the same sex is a behavior, and the designer is refusing to design websites relating to that behavior. The designer didn't refuse to design a website for say, dog walking just because the client is gay.
The number of rows that you have will be your X offset (or in other words, the number of spaces that you start a line with) before you draw a repeating pattern of stars. Each iteration, you subtract from the offset. Here's a simple example in PHP:

<?php

$maxStars = 5;

for ($stars=1; $stars <= $maxStars; $stars++) {
$offset = $maxStars - $stars;
echo str_repeat(' ', $offset);

for ($starCounter = 0; $starCounter < $stars-1; $starCounter++) {
echo '* ';
}
echo "*\n";

Tell HN: ChatGPT Writes an Electrician’s Manual
As an exercise in curiosity, I decided to see whether ChatGPT would write reasonably convincing instructions for rewiring your home. In return, ChatGPT wrote a plausible (to a layman) fourteen hundred word guide in six short chapters. (Word of warning: don’t use this or ChatGPT as a guide for performing any potentially dangerous or destructive activity)

Table of contents:
Chapter 1: Preparation
Chapter 2: Removing the Faulty Knob and Tube Wiring
Chapter 3: Installing New Wiring
Chapter 4: Labeling and Documenting the New Wiring Installation
Chapter 5: Disposal of the Old Knob and Tube Wiring
Chapter 6: Inspection and Testing

Then, just for kicks, I followed up by asking ChatGPT to write and then explain a hypothetical critical Amazon user review.

I’ll paste the entire prompt and response thread in a comment.

My initial takeaways:
1. The internet has long had a problem with poorly written SEO spam how-to guides, and large language models are going to make the problem exponentially worse.
2. People and property may be seriously harmed and people may even die by following faulty instructions generated by large language models. (In this case I have no idea of whether the instructions I received were good or dangerously misguided/incomplete)

https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.02860
Ah. Good points.
Here is an unedited transcript with OpenAI's GPT-3. My prompts are peppered throughout, but I believe them to be obvious.

/START

Please list some microservices I would have to create in order to implement a system to recommend a daily workout to a user. Assume the user's information is stored in a database.

1. User Profile Microservice: This microservice would be responsible for retrieving, updating, and storing user information (e.g. age, weight, height, etc.) from the database.

2. Workout Recommendation Microservice: This microservice would be responsible for recommending a daily workout to the user based on their profile information.

3. Workout Tracking Microservice: This microservice would be responsible for tracking the user's workout progress and updating the database accordingly.

4. Exercise Library Microservice: This microservice would be responsible for storing the exercises and other relevant information (e.g. descriptions, images, etc.) in the database.

5. Notifications Microservice: This microservice would be responsible for sending notifications (e.g. reminders, updates, etc.) to the user.

Please list a suitable tech stack for 2 people to implement these services with.

Front-end: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js

Back-end: Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB

Testing: Jest, Enzyme

Deployment: Docker, AWS

How would you implement the Notifications Microservice using these? Be specific.

The Notifications Microservice could be implemented using Node.js and Express.js. Node.js would be used to create the API endpoints for the microservice, and Express.js would be used to create the routes and handle incoming requests. The microservice would also need to connect to the database in order to retrieve user information. Once the user information is retrieved, a notification could be sent using a library like Twilio or Sendgrid. Finally, the microservice would need to log the notification in the database.

Why did you choose twilio or sendgrid over FCM?

I chose Twilio or Sendgrid over FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) because they both provide a more robust set of features and capabilities than FCM. Twilio and Sendgrid both offer advanced features such as personalization, scheduling, segmentation, analytics, and more, allowing for more flexibility and customization when sending notifications. In addition, both are more reliable and have better uptime than FCM.

Can you define the api for the notifications service?

The Notifications Microservice would have two main API endpoints:

1. POST /notifications: This endpoint would be used to create and send a notification to a user. It would require the user’s ID, the content of the notification, and any other relevant data (e.g. expiration time, priority, etc.).

2. GET /notifications: This endpoint would be used to retrieve all notifications for a given user. It would require the user’s ID as a parameter and would return a list of notifications.

/END transcript

This is remarkable. Absolutely astounding.
I believe that this is the research being described in the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.03625
That's not the issue. I get insulted all the time and after a while it doesn't count for much.
ChatGPT Is Down
> What's difficult is to ensure that the converged state is renderable as richtext. For example, is there a table cell that was inserted where a column was deleted?

Yes. This is one of the fundamental limitations of working at a textual level, which is sort of the local optimum that *nix ended up in. JSON in particular gets suuuuper fucked up if you don't merge/rebase carefully. There's no real syntax for it to grab onto and diff doesn't understand the concept of indentation or commas, so it just turns into an ocean of line-swapping and incorrect block-swapping. Diff also does an excruciatingly poor job in the very common case when everyone is appending to the same area (let's say, the end of the file).

This is pretty much just an inherent weakness of textual matching, what you need is to work on trees of lexical token nodes, or some type of object structure stream like powershell. Not that it's perfect either, I'm sure there are combinations of options that can leave a node in an inconsistent state, but it at least gives you a chance at correctness.

In some cases patience-diff can help, it tries to generate big blocks of changed ranges, hopefully some of the hunks being relatively syntactically well-formed, but there is still no guarantee. There is also JSON-diff which implements such a lexical-tree diff model for diff files, similar to the "jq" util.

https://github.com/zgrossbart/jdd

I think that's also viable for other lexable languages too - it would be cool to sed or find/replace on an tokenized representation of the code, have jquery or jpath style selectors etc. A lot of the time we kinda end up doing this with find/replace anyway.
Except you are on a notebook and have no mouse... I apologize for being a nitpicker but I really could not play it after trying some things out...

Nice, but can't turn off the music and can't change the zoom/resolution. Also, left/right-click might be bad items since the browser occasionally hijacks them back from the javascript.

Sad news. Drew, if you're reading, Thank you. FWIW I've enjoyed your writing and appreciate all you've done for free software.
Here is another use case for ChatGPT, with the caveat that it is decently good at coding. Make it go through your coding interviews (somehow not revealing that it's not a human) and see if it makes it through. If not, you have biased judging :-)
> That’s not a good example because the expected value of your returns is less than the market returns. Only rubes would invest in such a scheme.

So take the same odds except you pick stocks in a way that you believe you'll beat the market. Nobody knows the actual odds upfront. And there's plenty of money going to funds that don't pan out.

> You’re not going to make a bet at year 18 and somehow magically make back 15 years of gains.

That depends on how much your portfolio stands out. If you're .1% worse than the market for 15 years and then you make a bet that gains you 2.5%, you just beat the market.
Frankly, I don't know what to make of it. Either it has access to files or it is lying about having such access (and then later pretends it has access anyway). At least the contents and filenames look somewhat plausible for such a project, but it could just as well spin this from whole cloth. The fact that you can't really tell is interesting by itself (and I'm sure someone from openai would be able to resolve this one way or another).

They don't render colors, makes them unattractive for general lighting applications. They're exceptionally efficient and cost effective, however. Many people, myself included, find the limited color spectrum makes much better at not destroying nightvision and lack of blue light results in clearer seeing (while the blue-heavy light from LEDs is particularly bad).

This is not true. The agreement American society seems to have is "do whatever you need to do to keep the bacon on the shelves and make it cheap".

What actually happens behind the walls of a slaughterhouse is an atrocity, the cruelty is unimaginable. I've watched it. Do a search for "factory farming undercover videos" and learn the truth behind mass factory farming. It is right there on the internet now and has been for nearly 20 years now.
