It seems like there are a few potential negative consequences of using AI-generated answers on Stack Overflow. For one, the quality of the answers may be lower than if they were written by a human. Additionally, if these AI-generated answers become too common, it could potentially lead to a more impersonal and less supportive community on Stack Overflow. Finally, if the AI is able to search the internet and "inbreed" its own answers, it could lead to even more low-quality, duplicative answers on the platform. Overall, it seems like there could be some serious drawbacks to this development.

I am not really of the mind that the general adoption of automobiles was a net positive for humanity. Moving greater distances from things we need has created a need for them when they should be no more than a convenience. Using a few tons of metal to move a single person from place to place is incredibly inefficient and should be stopped as soon as possible. Note I am speaking of individual use of cars. The same holds true for flying. We don't need to do it and I can't see it making anything better in the slightest.

Yes, it stopped learning around then (as seen by asking it for today's date).

What doesn't track? The AI learned everything it needed to know about Linux details from the internet before then. Maybe you're referring to alchemist1e9's edit about OpenAI cutting off this linux terminal trick? I haven't seen that, but sometimes a few Regenerates are needed to get through.

I've also found it handy to "set up" things beforehand using the brackets, such as telling it my ssh password for another machine on the imagined network, and then being able to log into that machine.
Hopefully it comes soon: https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/issues/1864
That is most likely a general tactic. If you are an early adopter, you also carry the initial extra cost. Take exoskeleton, gene therapy, ... whatever. When they fight it for ... let us say ... 10 years, the cost has gone significantly down to a probably reasonable level.

Health Insurance companies (especially non-totally-private ones) have an ugly battle of balancing the costs with the good of the many and not the individual.
Sounds good, but how do you find business that you can automate? If business knew they wanted to automate x/y/z they would have done it already.
Sworn enemies unite against a common foe. This foretaste of AI may be
a timely wake-up call about what technology is doing to us. We may be

technology.
Thing is... I don't know of any particular killer feature currently. It shouldn't also be up to me to decide tbh, as I would like to shape a product that is build by the users for the users.

Remember this isn't a company: its hobbyist/enthusiasts putting their own resources into something or running with donations when available. There's no venture capital to absorb operating losses here. Remember the old "storm/norm/conform/perform" analogy. We are still very much pushing along into norm territory, and articles like this will help establish a conform phase ... but it will take time.
> I'm starting to understand why there are so many people on HN claiming that "Google has started to give me bad results in recent years".

I thought I was going crazy. Googles been working fine for me and I was wondering if I was just being delusional or in denial.
Exactly what you would expect from ChatGPT - not novel.
I got a ton of value out of “Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams”. Even if you’re not a manager that can directly follow the advice, as an engineer it will provide great clues on how to ensure environment and team dynamics can greatly influence efficiency and chances of success.

Of course my all time favorite is The Mythical Man-Month. But that’s already mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

I haven’t read “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us” but some of the concepts it talks about are also of interest (on how to ensure workers are motivated and I’m not talking about “the beatings will continue until morale improves” :) )
> The question is how good it is to process larger chunks of code and makes changes to it.

> People thinking about becoming programmers might need to rethink their plans if this one improves ...

Very true, and this thought definitely crossed my mind as well. In the short term I imagine this is going to be like any other tool, it will increase your leverage, and make it possible for you to write code faster.

For example, I fed it 100 lines of a Django model and asked it to write some query code for me. Produced something that was possible faster than I could have. The few slight deficiencies it did have (optimizations) basically felt like me doing a code review.
We need to start developing software to detect AI responses.

To detect a response generated by ChatGPT, we could first analyze the content of the response to see if it contains any unnatural or repetitive language. We could also check the formatting of the response to see if it follows the typical conventions used by human responders on the platform. Additionally, we could check for any unusual patterns in the timestamps of the response, as AI-generated responses may be posted more quickly or regularly than responses written by humans. Finally, we could also use machine learning algorithms to train a model to identify responses generated by ChatGPT based on these and other characteristics.

Quick, someone ask ChatGPT to generate the stubs.
Here’s a thought - at what price point is it cheaper to buy everyone that needs one an exoskeleton than to rebuild every building to be ADA accessible?
That would actually slightly improve Google search results given the generated spam garbage that comes up today.
Maybe we can mimic some of the effects found in nature without chemicals and make hydrophobic surfaces based on their nano-level properties?

Or like ducks use preen oil, something closer to that.

When ads are hyper-targeted to niche products offered by small businesses that I am a fan of, they are actually not bad. I like the ads on Facebook, but not as much on other platforms like TV since TV ads are just random pray and spray ads, usually by megacorps for things I'd never buy.

Look at Dollar Shave Club. A tiny little company that was able to get to an insane valuation chipping away at the consumer mega corps because of targeted advertising and some good ads. I've heard that small consumer packaged goods vendors are having a tough time now that Facebook got their tracking shut down. The only people who can effectively market mass market stuff like that now are the megacorps like Unilever and Proctor and Gamble who can do multi-million dollar poorly targeted campaigns.
I'd like if ChatGPT would know what are the most common arguments (as word-for-word as possbile) for X, where it started and how people picked up and how often it gets repeated. For example "crossed state lines"
>Note that the reverse is also quite common. "Punch a Nazi" was very popular for a while and antifa was big. Political violence is back on the rise in the USA, though its not as bad as the 70s

If the Nazis self-identify, and the most famous cases indeed did, I can't say I'm terribly concerned. Publicly espousing the view that some people are naturally inferior not by creed but by nature, and that you intend to impose physical consequences on them for that nature, isn't compatible with a free society. I don't think violence is a necessary condition to stop the Self-Identified Nazis from carrying out their murderous plans, but history shows that it is a sufficient one. Now look at the numbers: who hurts who, and by how much? Which is the bigger threat, as assessed by the US government: "left-wing terrorism", or "right-wing terrorism"? And what's "antifa"? Is it an organization with a website and funding, like the Proud Boys or Stormfront or the National Socialist Movement?

>it is extremely common for those reading the news to pick up an incorrect view of what happened

Sure, anyone who regularly reads HN has probably noticed the Gel-Mann Effect [0] in news articles pertaining to tech; other experts regularly notice them regarding their fields of expertise. Whether due to an overworked "staff writer" or intentional puff-piece (or imperative commands from The Owners to say this or that), the idea that one can "pick up an incorrect view of what happened" isn't unreasonable.

I don't think that's what Trump is talking about when he suggests that the 2020 election was fraudulent and that the Constitution should be suspended in order to restore him to power.

>Or those who believe the Canadian protest truckers were Nazis proudly waving Nazi flags (as opposed to being disproportionately waving signs declaring the government were Nazis and these signs having swastikas or SS symbols etc on them)

Or those who believe the "Canadian protest truckers" were mostly truckers, or that they didn't have a memorandum of understanding that the Canadian Prime Minister should be violently deposed and replaced by a council chosen by them!

Aren't most organizations operating in the market hierarchical, and role changes difficult? Why did you say even if the depth of hierarchy is 2? In fact, the difficulty of role change could also be a parameter in model, like how Nicky Case models stuff in some of their things, for example:

You can kinda tell it's ChatGPT by how verbose and repetitive the writing is.
Hi. I wrote the post. Additionally I am responsible for operating Hachyderm (Ruby on Rails) and GitHub (Ruby on rails) for both my free-time and my day job.

I can say with certainty that Ruby specifically was not the bottleneck in our case. I do think that the rails paradigm can often lead to interdependent systems. We see this at GitHub and we also see this in Mastodon. Service A will do reads/writes against the same tables in the database that Service B also does. When service A is moved to an isolation zone, it can still impact Service B's performance.

In other words, I think any stateful framework with the flexibility that Ruby on Rails encourages bad behavior that can contribute to a noisy neighbor problem.

The point I am trying to drive home is that I agree. I can confidently say that Ruby on Rails is not the culprit in our case. To be honest I just ignore anyone who is quick to point fingers and assign blame either technically or personally.

Sorry hacker news got you down. If it helps my family and I are making Sunday morning pancakes with my puppy Björn today and we are all wishing you the best day ever.

Seems most likely that you're not the chosen one to hype this new shiny trendy thing, so it doesn't waste precious CPU cycles on you.

It is only if you have truly, zealously dedicated your life to promote ChatGPT in mainstream IT circles, as in getting paid to do so, only then will it completely unleash its vast potential into the reply form, writing you a desktop OS in Brainfuck that is ready to compete with Linux, OSX and Windows, proving the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, simulating 2^1024 qubit machine that cracks 4096 bit RSA, finding out 23 hidden bugs in x86 microcode, telling you which gene to edit to get rid of peanut allergy, etc etc etc, all at your correctly formulated finger snap.

High import duties likely more than enough to incentivize local assembly. Whether India can translate ~10$ assembly per device into grabbing rest of supply chain and moving up value chain is another question. West somewhat proactively ceded manufacturing to PRC, PRC who dominants Apple's supplier list is not going to make the same mistake by ceding unrestricted to India, preferring instead to spread some capacity in ASEAN where they have more influence. IMO countries can only do so much to attract, especially when others are reluctant to relinquish.

Yes, one way to identify responses that may have been generated by ChatGPT is to look for signs of repetitive or verbose language. Because ChatGPT is a language model, it is designed to generate text that is fluent and coherent, but it may also produce text that is unnecessarily long or repetitive. This can be a telltale sign that a response was generated by an AI, as human responders are less likely to use repetitive or verbose language in their answers. Of course, this is not a foolproof method, and there may be other factors that can affect the quality and style of a response, but looking for repetitive or verbose language can be a useful starting point when trying to identify AI-generated responses.
Normal people bristle at restrictions they run into -- but also apps that take advantage of the freedoms granted them. The early value of browsers and AJAX was precisely that the browser was locked down. "Nothing to install" is valuable because of this. So I think both of you can be right. "Buying devices because it's locked down" only seems disingenuous if the locking down is for oneself.
I'm sorry, I didn't think I needed a /s at the end of this. I assumed it would be clearly understood to be a criticism of the parent's argument and not an endorsement of it.
that's an important distinction. i don't have an android, but i get the sense that by "supported" we are talking about continuing to receive security updates. i am not sure my assumption is correct, though. do new samsung phones stop receiving security updates in 5 years?
aw thanks! I follow you on mastodon and it’s been great watching the updates as hachyderm grows
I don't know how to feel about those "security updates". That iPhone 5s is still running an outdated Safari browser, for example. The device isn't secure.

When I think about long term support, I'm thinking about the kind of support Windows, Linux LTS, etc, provide. When Apple, Samsung, etc, release the type of updates you mention, they're just fixing one of the many security problems the device has.

It's like fixing the lock on a door of a building full of broken windows and call it secure. I guess it's better than nothing, but it's not proper maintenance.
There is already an XVIII century technology and WWII popularized option called millerain. But it requires some maintenance and isn’t “light” as preferred by cyclists and runners.

> Too often, people in our community conflate the two and conclude nefarious intent, when what we're seeing are market forces at work and the creation of products that the market demands.

I find it hard to ascribe it all to "market forces" when it's also aided by legislation like the DMCA. Anyway if the EU Digital Markets act someday opens up App stores, we'll see _more_ market forces at play and can see exactly what consumers truly want.
It also seems to have to do with Netflix subscriber loss. Netflix tries to target a more left-wing, "woke" younger audience, and while that works for most tech companies Amazon has targeted sports and older demographics, which seems to be the larger market in the world of TV. Netflix has been bleeding US subscribers for a while while Amazon is growing
The Alices I speak to are rarely interested in this. It's usually an attempt to sneak in a plank of an argument to support some repugnant conclusion, without which plank said conclusion seems suspiciously like bigotry or a just-so story. Trickle-down economics, racial superiority, social spending, flat earthism, the divine right of kings, debt-to-GDP ratio-hacking, systemd, etc etc
> And that misconceived data is what ChatGPT was trained on!

And so what? Are you saying humans only ever access factually-accurate data when learning?

In fact, aren't memes just humans repeating (with minor changes) what they've seen other humans publish, in the same style... which is exactly what ChatGPT did?

I mean, yeah, I get it. I worry about general purpose computing going away too. I remember Stallman and Doctorow talking about this in the early 2000s and saw many iterations of this same thread pop up on Slashdot, HN, Digg, Reddit, etc. over the years.

I dunno man, I guess I’m just skeptical over the dooming at this point. I think a bigger issue is less about whether we will be able to run whatever we want on our computer, and more that the internet has just become a cesspool of ads, clickbait, ragebait, and app sandboxed content that’s not discoverable by search engines. I think you’ll always have a fairly reasonable choice of computers to run whatever software you want on. But todays internet just isn’t very fun anymore.
That’s not “devil’s advocate”, that’s just baseless conspiracy theory.

Thanks for the suggestion, orzig! I think it's a great idea to reach out to people who don't necessarily have a lot of experience with technology and see how the ChatGPT model can be useful to them. I'll definitely keep that in mind as I brainstorm potential uses for the model. It's always interesting to see how new technologies can provide value in unexpected ways. Thanks again for the suggestion!
My understanding is that Pleroma was first and foremost designed to have a small memory footprint for small instances. As an Elixir program running on the BEAM (Erlang) runtime it ought to scale a lot better, but serious work had to be put into that. Not sure it's running on any sites as big as the big Mastodon ones.

> What percentage of HN parents have tracking on their kids phone?

All phones have "tracking" in that they're on a cellular network, so they can be tracked by a cell phone company. My son's phone was stolen at his school recently, but we had no way to recover it. What tracking software do people use on their kids phone? Perhaps I can use it to recover the phone if the next one gets stolen. Apparently since I'm the only parent here who doesn't have tracking for his kids, I want to make your claim true.
