This is the basis of the (apocryphal?) idea developed in the SAS of having a cup of tea. It's the same idea as "delay your reaction to a negative stimuli as long as possible."

Political disagreements have been structured in our society along dialectics of power and, as such, are designed to attack and malign the very identity of the parties who disagree. This triggers the social isolation / anxiety response and can amount to amygdala hijacking, and then people lose their cool.

It helps a lot to keep in mind that these responses have been exquisitely engineered via social media, cable news, etc. and that the person in front of you (or even online) is likely not your true enemy and you probably have more shared interests than you might think.
wish the biden administration would give manufacturers a tax break to manufacture in south america. It would enrich our neighbors to the south and possibly put a dent in drug trafficking and illegal immigration.

Making asia rich doesnt help us nearly as much as making south america rich.
For each impressive feat there's a simple, yet embarrassing counterexample (see for instance the comment by olooney below) that clearly demonstrates how far the model is from being considered an AGI.

> Definitely nothing related to the . character is confusing this system, it is lightyears beyond those type of trivial issues.

Is it, though?

ChatGPT: Yes, I am confident that -26.66 + 90 = 10. This is because -26.66 is
the same as -26.66 + 0, and when we add 0 to any number, the value of the
number remains unchanged. Therefore, -26.66 + 90 is equal to -26.66 + 0 + 90,
which is equal to -26.66 + 90 = 10.

Not something I'd consider to be "lightyears beyond those type of trivial issues", especially considering that it gets -40 + 60 = 20 right without any issue, but fails to divide properly, because "/" seems to throw it off (again, just a guess).

You argue with the same certainty as the model argues that -26.66 + 90 = 10 :)

Again: the OP is not condemning vocal cultural shifts that demand restraint of unreasonable behaviour.

The OP is complaining about censorship.
Let’s imagine I’d not used the word ‘durable’. What I’m interested in is whether there was anything in the Greek or Roman constitutions (or any since) that prevented cycles of tyranny, oligarchic excess, and popular uprising. However long the ostensible empires lasted, I see very little that worked. And despite my experience being young in the 90s where we’d perhaps convinced ourselves we’d reached some post-history period in parts of the West, it’s clear we still haven’t cracked the formula.
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? 99% of people aren't going to know how to pronounce this, and even ones that think they do probably get it wrong.
Assuming your decompressor is as capable as gzip(1) is, you don't need to write your own compressor or rely on block alignment, because:

• pigz (https://github.com/madler/pigz) has -0 for no-compression compression;

• you can concat multiple gzip files together.

$ echo foo | gzip > foobar.gz
$ echo bar | pigz -0 >> foobar.gz
$ echo baz | gzip >> foobar.gz
$ hd foobar.gz | grep -C1 -w bar
00000010 a8 65 32 7e 04 00 00 00 1f 8b 08 00 70 bf 8c 63 |.e2~........p..c|
00000020 00 03 01 04 00 fb ff 62 61 72 0a e9 b3 a2 04 04 |.......bar......|
00000030 00 00 00 1f 8b 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 4b 4a ac |.............KJ.|
$ gzip -d < foobar.gz
foo
bar
baz

This also solves the CRC problem, because pigz computes the checksum for you.
Being nice and warm to people is lying and falsity unless you feel that way towards them genuinely. If you don't think so then I guess you may be among those employing such hypocrisy without a second thought. In routine communication I probably won't detect your hypocrisy because again people are bad at this. I will assume you are genuine and reply to you. An idea like proposed, if properly implemented, may help other people who are less adjusted and perhaps incapable of employing such hypocrisy.
Given that the OP compared their situation to the morality police in Iran, where dissenters tend to be hung from cranes I'm not so sure what restraints they think they're living under.

Few things are more cringeworthy than people in free Western countries pretending they're living in the Soviet Union. I say my honest opinion all the time. When people say this stuff, can we get a concrete example for something you "just can't say" ? I bet you five bucks I can guess the nature of that statement.
Looks like spam, reads like spam, if you think this is "more humane" then you have never talked to a human.

# What do they mean by "cognitive ability"?

> Our Danish sample was selected using a registry of military draftees, which has been in operation since 2006. We drew our sample from the subset of the registry which had taken a cognitive ability test.

> For our American sample, 2,766 respondents completed our survey using MTurk in September and October 2014.

> The Danish Draftee Board administered the Børge Priens Prøve (BPP; Kousgaard, 2003) to the draftee sample. This 78- item test has a correlation of .82 with the full Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Mortensen et al., 1989). We have access only to the composite BPP score

> MTurk participants completed the 16-item International Cognitive Ability Resource measure (Condon & Revelle, 2014).

# What do they mean by "tolerance"?

> First, questions of tolerance concern whether one thinks a group's fundamental rights (particularly pertaining to expression) should or should not be protected. This is, conceptually, not the same as asking whether one likes or has a positive affect for the group in question, although some psychological studies appear to treat it as such.

> To say that questions of affect and tolerance are different is not to say they are entirely separable. The relationship between these domains in fact represents the second key element to operationalizing tolerance. Specifically, tolerance only meaningfully applies to groups that one might be motivated to restrict—that is, those one dislikes or otherwise opposes (Gibson, 2013; Sullivan et al., 1982).

> A third element related to assessing tolerance is that the frequently observed discrepancy between an individual's generalized commitments to tolerance and the tolerance they endorse for specific groups makes the assessment of tolerance a distinctively complicated task (Gibson, 2013)

# What groups did they ask about people's tolerance of?

> Right/Christian Fundamentalists

> Neo-Nazis
@PaulHoule, how are you able to submit 24 hours a day? When do you sleep?
Now, what is the cognitive ability required to not only understand and be tolerant of other political points of view, but also recognize that this has limits, first and best highlighted by Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance [0].

"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them..."

And managing this paradox of tolerance requires even higher cognitive load than simply being absolutely tolerant, but constant judgements, and maintaining stability on a very 'slippery slope'.

He's upsetting people who think they're morally superior to everyone else - saints that walk among us.

That group really came into being under Obama, Trump solidified it, and then they got absolutely juiced up during the pandemic & BLM stuff.

The double standards and hypocrisy are absolutely breathtaking.

And since these people have decided they're just the only people operating in objective reality, they almost never examine themselves.

And for me, I don't even like Trump or his party. I'm left in the frustrating position where what angers me the most are his opponents who are so off-puttingly full of themselves.

I think that's why they're so opposed to Musk, a lifelong liberal & voter for Democrats who realizes how far things have drifted from sanity. He's cleaved from the groupthink. So now, like the immune system, he must be disassociated & eliminated.
> I suppose you've never heard of right-wing militias showing up to left-wing protests while cops look on,

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.

> I suppose you've never heard Donald Trump suggest that "what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening"?

It really sucks that it was Trump who popularised the idea of "fake news". It tarnished an idea that long predated the most untruthful politician in modern US politics: While the big reputable news corps will very rarely lie in their own voice (I've only seen a couple of examples over many years of news reading) it is extremely common for those reading the news to pick up an incorrect view of what happened. Two years later I'm still correcting educated people who believed that the 6/6 capitol invaders beat a policeman to death with a flagpole and a fire extinguisher. 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).
Here's a book I really enjoyed. "But How Do It Know? - The Basic Principles of Computers for Everyone."

It's a surprisingly accessible, plain-English explanation of... logic gates. Exactly how it is that so many programming tricks are derived from simple binary numbers.

At some point it occurred to me that specific functions exist in programming languages solely because they map onto things that can be easily accomplished with the underlying circuitry...
Why put all your eggs in one basket? If they can afford to diversify their risk to local markets by having multiple sources they can play sourcing regions off each other. By being so dependent on China apple exposes itself to extortion. That works everywhere, China isn’t uniquely malevolent despite views to the contrary. Given the opportunity to expropriate a foreigner almost any country will leverage that opportunity.
Hmm but wouldn't that just flow into the hands of the cartels?
It is fundamentally based on initial hype and mania of other HN ChatGPT posts. Other than that, nothing.

Ask ChatGPT to solve unsolved mathematical and computer science problems or any basic international mathematical olympiad (IMO) questions and it falls before the starting line and will give incoherent answers.

Even if it moves an inch past the line, it cannot transparently explain as to how it got there in the first place.

>> share an apartment as they can't afford to live solo

There was also at the time a general disdain for living solo. A person living on their own was almost seen to be hiding something. Their daily activity would be totally unchecked.
The protestant ethic also saw it wasteful for one person to occupy an entire dwelling on their own. Think of all the scrooge-like literary characters who lived alone.

Occam’s Razor says the machine is not “lying” or “gaslighting”. It’s just too dumb to have a consistent model of itself, much less the world.
No, because they already have LaMDA which is the same thing, a language model for dialogs.

Google could implement that into Google today, but the reason they don't is Google is a 200b/year business. You don't want to mess around with a business of that size for the fun of it.

We will probably see it in Google Assistant before they add it too Google.

OpenAI doesn't have this worry so they can put their model out into the public and if anything goes bad they don't lose anything. Google does.
The tough thing for Tesla shareholders is the share price needs Elon, but the company itself would be better off without Elon if he's going to affect demand.

YMMV but I've had limited benefits from taking vitamin D over winter personally, at least from a mental health perspective. Slowing down and trying to reduce the self-induced mental pressure addresses the cause for me.
If you have an opinion I wouldn't mind hearing it. As I say, I haven't come to a conclusion myself but maybe because I lack the information/knowledge about it.

If people turn their back and understand this is not good, in the long run they will lose.

If people understand that power calls power, that too centralized power is evil and that the world is not as dangerous as they pretend (in the sense that safety is more due to conventions and culture than on surveillance everywhere) then they will start to refuse it because they will understand the threat is the state itself when it grows so much. This is my current perception but was not so like 20 years ago or 25.

I know many ppl that do not believe anymore in tax systems as an effective vehicle to solve most problems but see it more of a problem where some ppl are doing their business from.

That was my thought process too, particularly the business part. I find it hard to believe Google would want to give that up so easily. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Common sense says that if your product is sold on a big enough scale and with adequate consumer decision, it’s not a good business decision for your public figurehead to be overly political and alienate half of your potential customers.

On the other hand, maybe he’s feeling that another government windfall is the only path forward and he’s hitching his wagons to a horse…
> Live and let live

This isn't possible when one major political party refuses to allow that to happen. Many conservatives claim to just want to be left alone and then turn around and try to legislate who can marry who, how people live their lives, who is "worthy" of being part of our country, what books are available in libraries. You can't live and let live when you're constantly being attacked for intrinsic traits and being disenfranchised.
A no BS german tone of voice would go a long way
Doing this, and significantly enriching south America, particularly it's tech scene, will dramatically hurt US tech worker wages.

South America is in the same timezones as us. A lot of the failures of outsourcing are due to time zone differences...
They always say humans will work alongside computers - that as old jobs are created, new ones will also come into existence.

For example - how about becoming an AI programmer?

And there's also plenty of free "big data" stuff online to play around with. (Ultimately AI is going to have to train on large pools of data -- and someone's going to have to set up those training pools...)

EXWM is the natural way to do this, treating X11 windows as Emacs buffers is what it's all about. Or are you trying to get just the buffer switching part without going all the way to EXWM?
You really can't "get stuck" though. Carry a phone with Google Maps and get a Pasmo/Suica fare card, and it's easy to get back to your hotel from anywhere at all in the city.

The simplest way I know of to make a discriminated number type in TypeScript is:

declare const isRobotID: unique symbol;
type RobotID = number & { [isRobotID]: true };

and now you can cast a number to a RobotID and back.
I've purchased a low cost passive matrix mixer from Tindie, so there definitely seems to be a marketplace for these sorts of bespoke hardware. https://www.tindie.com/products/ruccielectronics/4x4-matrix-...

I find that I have no shortage of ideas of hardware I'd like to build, but I'll never be able to make everything, so I start building simple things that I can execute with my limited resources and abilities. Just starting, and finishing little projects and seeing the results has been very satisfying.

I recommend just build something. Anything. Make it simple and finish it. Then play with the results, and learn and repeat. With this, over the past 4 years, I've been able to turn daydreaming in the bathtub into a new musical instrument (Electroduochord), and 3 albums made with that instrument. I've learned so much along the way and each step seems to open a new door to possibilities. None of that would have happened if I didn't just start building and experimenting.
Days being ~8h long makes getting enough sun harder - not impossible!

Trying to get 1h outside / day does it for me - usually using the commute for it, running or cycling to work.

Dont forget, we were optimized for millions of years for spending our time outside. Dont run fully outside your specifications people ;)
If you're right, then I don't think that there will be a significant difference in the way different kinds of software development are affected, they'll all be automated away to the same extent. So there's no point in trying to redirect your career to another subfield, they'll all be screwed if you're right. Personaly I think it's quite unlikely but who knows.

Sure, it’s an op-ed, but making blanket statements like this (in the first sentence) detracts from its more valid points and alienates a large portion of knowledge workers who actually enjoyed some of the changes brought about by the pandemic.

Most notably - speaking Catalan instead of Spanish in Barcelona will endear you to locals in a way you wouldn’t believe.

You do you, though. I had to google the hiragana for that phrase. I can’t read Japanese worth a damn.
I wouldn't say it's recent, I've long noticed that about HN. I learnt recently that there's a long history of Japanese influence on/immigration to San Francisco; so I think it's largely a symptom of SF-skew, and that influence rubbing off on others of course.

Regarding restaurants, I think you generally get pretty good mileage out of Tabelog. A key problem for short-term visits is that highly-rated restaurants (>= 3.7) tend to fall into two categories: Either the restaurant is cheap and has a long queue outside it (typically things like ramen, but also cheap+good sushi) or it is expensive and requires a reservation. You generally can't just walk into this kind of restaurant unless you get lucky and it just happens to not be fully booked.

Placing a reservation requires a Japanese phone number (which you can get easily for the duration of travel) and most restaurants only accept reservations by phone. Some can be reserved on Tabelog directly, but this also requires a Japanese phone number, and some restaurants will call you back to confirm the reservation, so I'm not sure I would recommend this if you don't speak at least some Japanese. Even if you do reservations by phone, you should expect that most restaurants are already fully booked out for the next week. The best chance to get a reservation are restaurants that are a bit too expensive for their rating.

Ideally you would do reservations before you travel, but I'm not sure what the best way to do that would be in practice.

If anyone has any questions, I hope the first lines of the README clarify the process, as it was just a 2 hour effort and I didn’t want to interest invest more time with it.

As for note, I am a python expert but I never truly used yacc or llvm. Just some minor versions needed to be fixed in the requirements.txt and with the import of the library.

The rest was generated and refactored as I explained it in the README.
My personal recommendation is to just expand such acronyms, for folks who don't recognize it.
I heard about it for the first time yesterday after a meme on reddit beautifully integrated Kanye West with Wallace's questions called "My Dinner with Kanye."

I watched the movie and was absolutely entranced. I wasn't sure how widely known the movie is, so wanted to share it. The notion of being against the technology of electric blankets reminds me a lot of the ludditism me and several techies I know embrace, despite working in technology.
It's probably fair to say that it's a probabilistic language, given that you might not always get the correct result (e.g. if you multiply two large integers).
