Because if I wanted that just stay with Twitter, and that's the attitude of a lot of us.

I run my own instance. I can't do that on Twitter. If I get tired of it, I can move to another instance and most of my followers will migrate automatically (not all, yet, because not all ActivityPub software supports the move mechanism, but when I moved to my personal instance 80%+ already moved automatically, and it'll go up).

Instances can be blacklisted on Mastodon, but have far less of an impact unless you're so particularly abuse that a large portion of the network blocks you.

If you don't provide means to do robust blocking and moderation that will be another reason for people to stay away. Mastodon has these "issues" because it is what users want. Anyone can say exactly what they want, but anyone can also choose to block you, or your instance, if they don't want to listen. Gab is an example that is on Mastodon and is widely blocked because most people don't want to interact with them, and that's our right, but they're still free to talk to those who want to deal with them.
Never-before-seen malware nukes data in Russia’s courts and mayors’ offices
It just means that sites like StackOverflow, Leetcode, Hackerrank, etc are quite frankly worthless.

But on the other hand and cutting through the ChatGPT hype, given that all it does is give an output without transparently giving an explanation, it is not going to be replacing anything serious and critical anything soon.

This isn't going to be free forever and I wouldn't completely build and entire startup on someone else's API in the long term.
So someone did the thing advertised in the thing, and it did the thing as advertised. Sounds like they should have been more careful, maybe have a compass and overall know what they were doing.
I had a friend (Passed away, RIP) who went to MIT and learned how to program on those things. She was really confused when Microsoft went full-in on OOP in the 90s because it flew in the face of everything she learned while there about how to write programs that don't crash.

May as well go all in on that idea and make a name for yourself.
Never before has there been a time where billions of chickens were killed each year. The dose make the poison.
There already are plenty of smaller communities, but no one enforces the on-topic rules as they exist today, making SO into the "I haz computer problem" dumping ground it has become
Too many issues and too many sides. Too much grey within each debate, too.

Computing appliances vs. general purpose machines. End-user control vs. vendor. Privacy vs. transparency. Freedom of expression vs. curated/"safer" experiences. Algorithms vs. humans in the loop. Governmental vs. corporatist vs. end-user freedoms. Cloud/timeshare/virtualization vs. on-premises/own your own machine/etc. Perpetual copyright and central ownership of culture vs. information wants to be free. Security vs. flexibility.

Not to mention after you get past the whole ideological debates, you have active state vs. state cyberwarfare and information warfare and other proxy battles... and cybercrime.

Computing and networking as mass-market phenomena is still new. As much as we pat ourselves on the back in tech for rapid progress, the social mechanisms and business models for all of this are still unstable.
Just plain wrong. Twitter is a broadcast distribution platform, like newspapers, radio, and tv before them. You sure as hell blame the companies who broadcast content on their pulpits.

You're welcome to hold that opinion for closed 1-1 messaging platforms that don't have amplification features, but it's just plain wrong to assume that any platform that can amplify ones voice into the unwilling or ignorant and somehow be immune to this level of scrutiny. It's a farce and will certainly never end well for those that try.
I wish the minority were larger, or large enough to have some market impact. Although it is perhaps growing in recent years to due fairly blatant abuses of power to push agendas.
Well, guess the genie's out of the bottle and we can never stop this. Bow down to the inevitability of technological progress, Luddites! Good luck retraining into a new job, I hear "prompt engineer automation" is the new hotness.

Or at least that's what all of you kept telling me when I was expressing my unhappiness at the way corporate-sponsored image generating black boxes are built atop a shaky moral foundation that sure feels like it's ignoring anything anyone talking about "fair use" ever dreamed of, and at the way I fear it's going to hollow out a ton of the beginner-pro jobs of my industry by making it super easy for anyone to generate stuff that is kinda fundamentally shitty in a lot of important ways, but "good enough" if you just have a space to fill with some decoration that you don't really give a crap about.
Around 200 billions chickens are slaughtered each year, not sure how that compare with their population during previous hundreds millions of years.
The end goal should be open-source everything. Imagine a world where, for example, the schematics for farming tools are open-source and anyone can improve them and download them. Everything becomes a global collaborative effort.

That's possible - video is definitely more enticing than photos and there's data out there to back that up among the general population. Perhaps people will get bored of videos one day - we'll see.
> waterproof, highly breathable, and incredibly lightweight

This is basically the way most outdoors products have been marketed since the previous century so I’m not sure how much we’re actually talking about here. What I was hoping to see in that article was something more quantitative — does “heavy and doesn't breathe as well” mean something is 20% heavier or 200%, etc.?
Therein lies the whole point.
How to Make a Text Adventure Game in Rust – Part IX Adding a Game File
Looking back, I think the big difference is that I used to be able to leave windows and programs active in my office for days or weeks at a time. I could lock the screen at night and come back the next day to resume a sprawling workspace, with all the persistent layout helping me orient to continue a longer effort. Switching to WFH with continuous ratcheting of the IT/networking policies at work, I now suffer from forced termination of idle or long duration VPN and SSH connections on a regular basis. I can't even take a lunch break and expect to find everything open where I left off...

When a session involves restarting or reattaching too many different windows and working states, it isn't worth the trouble. I've adjusted my working style to be smaller campaigns with bits of local/offline work, quick forays into remote systems to test/debug, and separate bursts of commits, tagging, or deployment of code.

In some ways, I treat my future self more like another remote coworker with more formal process and less implicit state sharing. Onsite in the past, I might have done all editing, deployment, and testing from a working copy on the workstation before making commits. Now, I might edit, commit, and push to a branch from my laptop and then pull and test on a remote server, making small bugfix edits and commits there with a remote editor.

I went from using dual 21" 1920x1600 monitors to using dual 28" 4K monitors with a desktop in the office, to having those 4K monitors for WFH with a laptop. With the IT disruptions described above, I now have the 4K monitors in different rooms where I might want to dock the laptop, but I often just work directly on the 1920x1080 laptop screen from other comfortable locations. With the quick in-and-out of ephemeral VPN and SSH sessions, I don't miss the large pixel areas as much. Just one large 4K monitor affords a lot of space to pull up side-by-side editing windows, documentation, etc.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to editorialize on this. I honestly didn't know about Pluton, so I just included a couple of links to newcomers like myself.

Indeed, Pluton could be beneficial, assuming you are on the side of fully trusting the Microsoft ecosystem front-to-back. Or scary if you don't trust the old 'Softy.

That being said, Apple's M1 architecture has a similar security chip installed as well. Some people legitimately want these walled gardens. We here at HN are probably more on the fringe side than the majority.
"I think the calculus has changed a bit since then because we either have unaccountable megacorporations doing it or government. So let's give them even MORE power."

It is in our best interest to make the general public want general purpose computing (and make general purpose computing useful for them).

One side is people like me, who largely try to use software to run our lives and at odds with all the following sides.

There are at least three surveillance apparatuses that seeks to record everything we do.

* the state-surveillance apparatus to extend its own power (see Snowden)

* the ad-industry-surveillance apparatus to increase their own profits.

* the social-media-surveillance apparatus that wants to increase our engagement and in-collusion with the ad-industry increase their profits.

The social-media companies + email companies that refuse to standardize their protocols.

Then there is the copyright industry that has created DRM with no regards to stopping legitimate usage of media bought by us.

There is the cloud-service providers that use open-source software to rake in billions of profits but won't donate 5 dollars to the creators of the open-source software.

The OS creators that make it harder and harder for power-users to use their computer as they want to.

The state-departments that force that use of apps on non-free OS/computers to access essential services.
What you said may sum up the current state of AI. People's minds are continually being blown, but will there be a realization that these AIs are specialized to provide specious output and nothing else? There's a canyon of difference between something that sounds correct and a thing that is actually correct.
I don’t believe we know what went wrong to pass judgment on them.
It looks like it will work, although haven't tested the exact code. Has anyone tested it and if so, this really shouldn't be downvoted.

If the SO users start downvoting bot-generated answers that are correct and working, I think that's a sign that SO is much less relevant. They should definitely downvoted them if the code doesn't work though.
It is going to be a problem for the radix project though, since given how close the ties are between that and fosshost there are significant questions about the motivation and competence of the team, and their dedication to protecting donor money/supporting the organizations they host etc. If this happens again, are they just going to abandon everything and walk away again? Why did those volunteers decide that the better way to further their mission was to abandon their old nonprofit as a loss and start a new one instead of taking serious steps to regain control and at the least clearly document all leg routes taken/the reason that they had to give up in the end? It's the same community of people that are being asked to trust substantially the same set of people a second time.
Given our ever-expanding definition of "environmentally unfriendly" and our ever-contracting definition of "sustainable", I'm actually not sure that anything actually makes the cut in the long run.

Everything "effects the environment" in some way, after all.
I think you missed the point, respectfully. The OP doesnt remember the digital, because it didnt happen for him. I suppose he was living digitally minimal life before and throught the pandemic
The Twist was his first big hit.

Let’s Twist Again came out a year later. The entire song is referring to the phenomenon of The Twist.

“Let’s twist again, like we did last summer”

Also, it was a number one hit in some countries.
It will be interesting to see the data roll in as this feature proliferates to standard consumer devices.

Obviously Garmin and others have had dedicated devices like this for years, but if you're in deep enough that you're dropping several hundred dollars on a dedicated satellite SOS device, you've probably also done a lot of work to learn how to keep yourself safe and generally not get in trouble. And you're acutely aware that even if people want to come save you, they might not be able to and ultimately it's on you to self rescue.

A lot of people don't know that at least in the US, search and rescue is free and largely volunteer run. It works great for now, but if the burden of unprepared wilderness adventurers grows to be too heavy, SAR as it currently is won't be able to bear it.
Yes, but it’s less common to have completely unknown effects and from the perspective of pollution they have the desirable property of being broken down quickly when discarded or if bits flake off during normal use. That still doesn’t mean you can’t overload the ecosystem but it does mean that problems can self-correct more.
Stop using racism as an excuse when caste culture runs deep in your country.
Insurance is a bet for the person taking the insurance, not the one offering it. Just as casinos are not gambling. Law of large numbers and all that.

I agree that it's a weird business to be in (and certainly the US has not figured out the best approach), but this article is about Germany, and generally I think we strike the right balance here. Not in every detail, there is still a lot of room for improvement (too many insurances, too little competition between them, some questionable decisions about reimbursement) - but I wouldn't dare to claim that I could consistently make better decisions.
In fact, Apple helped it along, somewhat.

Aren’t there lots of tv shows with music and dancing? The style has changed.
> I would expect most automotive engineers don't let their children drive the cars they go to the office to create and propagate every day. Because... they're children.

On the other hand, most parents don't let their children drive cars either and yet they let their children access those technologies.

Another way in which that analogy doesn't work is that it's illegal for children to drive cars, but it's not illegal for children to access those technologies.

Furthermore, these technologies are being created and modified in a way that are specifically attractive and addictive for children (as well as adults) and they are constantly being further optimized for that criteria as well, almost every day (in a manner of speaking).
> It beats infrared light for resolving power because it suffers less Rayleigh scattering, imaging details less than 1 millimetre wide.

While the wavelength of THz is larger than IR, and hence leads to a worse spatial resolution due to diffraction. This comment is about the scattering of light through a medium, which acts as a low pass filter leading to loss of higher spatial frequencies and therefore lower spatial resolution.

> millimetre wave astronomy is a big topic of the last decade or two. How does the THz technology described here link to what's used in mm wave detection?

They are effecitevely the same band (1mm ~ 0.3THz). The difference between astronomy and other applications is photon flux. Distant astronomical objects are faint, therefore detection methods only need to detect a small number of photons/s. One popular detector is cryogenic bolometers, which measure a temperature increase due to absorbed energy from a THz photon. These work well in low-flux applications.
Lefties may well do this, but this is kind of a nonsensical argument. The alleged oversimplification was already present with "homeless". How does "houseless" imply any simpler solution? Give 'em a home, give 'em a house. Both sound equally reductive to me.
I think I found another one. It's for an upcoming feature called (titled?) sha1=460d023e7d06d5d23312aa0cb9b9b36e266af25b and its prompt is sha1=bcb7ec72a71cbf860b3e14b1973eb67f3bf54a5a.

I could be wrong tho, idk. Will be fun to find out, but I don't wanna spoil if I'm right.

(did I do that right? I sha1'd without ending newlines)
I’m currently reading Peopleware which is simultaneously very insightful and very obvious. It’s also a bit of a marker in time of how software development worked. I’d say a lot has improved with remote work, at least for some companies.

I found The Mom Test pretty helpful for honing a product mindset. I’ve fallen into the trap of writing code simply because I find it less daunting than talking to users. The Mom Test is a good reminder on priorities.

Soon these "copywriters" will be out of jobs: chatgpt can outwrite them all and do so for a few cents.
These language model-based AIs are fundamentally limited, they are very impressive for what they can do, but they are at the end of the day just search engines trained on a litany of data that can form your question cleverly to look up its internal knowledge base and transform the output in a way that sort of makes sense.
But it will not come up with any novel solutions to problems any time soon. E.g. I asked it whether 23 is a prime number and while it could state correctly that it only has two divisors, it failed to reason that it thus must be a prime number (even though it itself gave this definition).
They totally did. It used to be a common argument against mandatory seatbelts, that people would feel safer and drive more recklessly, killing more pedestrians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt_legislation#Risk_com...
That's the real reason. And the fact that it decreases ad views.

It may be difficult, for example it may require starting a new bank, or outright impossible, when most people you need to communicate with (e.g. for business, or hobbies - but of course you can go living in the woods) are on some proprietary communication platform (think of WhatsApp/Facebook). Other times it may be "just" wildly inconvenient, e.g. when all taxi services, bikesharing and public transport in a given city will be available only through an "app". As another anecdote from real life, the 2022 AMS meeting (https://annual.ametsoc.org/index.cfm/2022/about-the-meeting/...) required "daily health survey" through a "CLEAR app" to attend.
The main project instances run on Hetzner. It seems like it's either not an issue or Hetzner's anti-abuse systems are able to tell the difference.
I’ve been thinking about exactly this.

That “it’s just a different search front end”… but I think after more experience with it I disagree.

At its worst, it’s “multiple searches” at once.

Example1… I wanted to find a CAGE for code a specific military mfg. I only had the last 3 digits. I asked for CAGE codes that match and got all the answers instantly. I could have searched this, but it would have been multiple searches.

I asked for the etymology for the Swahili word for trapezoid… again, multiple searches. If I could have found links to the Arabic root of some Swahili words at all.

That’s it’s worst case, convenient multiple searches. The better case is the UX of a conversation is powerful for the user, in a way we are just learning the words for.
I can't speak to the actual problems from chicken bones, but scale may be part of the explanation.

We are producing something like 50 billion chickens for slaughter every year. I don't think that estimate includes laying hens or culled males, either. The scale of chicken production is bonkers relative to natural bird populations.

The most abundant wild bird species is on the order of 1.5 billion. They are sparrow-sized and that's not their annual number.

Framed animals dwarf wild mammals and wild birds by mass:

>What are the repercussions of this?

It will start feeding back into the training set, corrupting things. OpenAI will have an advantage at first as they can trivially filter out everything they have generated from the future training corpuses, since you can only run it through their servers. If they or someone else has breakaway progress such that almost all generated content is from their own servers because users only use them because their results are so much better, they could form a strong self-reinforcing moat against competitors forced to train on their semi-spam which they can trivially filter out.

It's also possible we'll see something like the existing big-tech patent cross-licensing agreements, where they all agree to share their generated outputs to filter from training, making it very hard for new entrants.

Other companies will begin having advantages as well, depending on how well they can get less tainted user data. Think of Discord, for example, where users may use AI but are less likely to gamify it like stack overflow and flood it for points, and instead be correcting its output etc. in programming discussions.

As things become more accepted Microsoft will probably eventually sell access to private github for training, with some stronger measures around avoid rote memorization.
European outcompeted by their Indian origin fellow citizens? If you people are so great how come India is a shithole?
I prefer to think of the Peter principle as you arrive at your point of unhappiness rather than incompetence. Not everyone wants to be the CEO of a billion dollar company. Everyone has a place where they reach maximum happiness in there career. If organisation actively asked people if they wanted to be promoted then this could be avoided to some extent. It may require soul searching and difficult conversations though.

The hardest thing though is when the Peter principle occurs as organisations grow. The CEO of a 10 person startup might not enjoy running a 100 or 1000 person company. The skills required are very different.
A few hours ago, I tried to setup trpc using recommended boilerplate, I also tried fresh default T3 after that.

Both got error, which seems to be due to next/next auth dependency breaking. So it's not that painless I guess.. I found this situation quite often with nextjs example template

T3 author is very responsive though, so my issue resolved quickly
And wait until the administration decides to sue the person who reported the breach to them.
Vague hand-waving about "human cost" of having factories that employ people is a load of abstract obscurantist nonsense.
You'll be unable to paint an alternative scenario for bypassing the process of gradual wage increases because it would never work in reality.

What was China going to do, warp straight to having an economy with $60,000 GDP per capita? If things actually worked that way, countries as diverse as Romania, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Pakistan, Mexico - they'd all do it too. It doesn't work that way. You have to move up, gradually, through a very long and grinding road of progress and persistence.

Subtract the companies that provide the jobs for developing nations, and you have nothing. And you can't give a single other example throughout modern industrial history for an alternative path, because there can't be one. The capital investment has to come from outside, it has to be incentivized (otherwise why bother), and or you have to very slowly build it up from development internally + foreign trade (and that internal development will be accomplished by corporations just the same, just as it also was in China by domestic companies that behave just like Apple or worse).

Name a country that has skipped from poor and developing to affluent and developed without going through it (specifically without relying overwhelmingly on natural resources like oil, those are extreme outliers).
