Most certainly. It's not if, but when. The same for our eventual place of perfect trust in artificial intelligence. For now, ChatGPT, Co-pilot, and the like are at best productivity tools for boilerplate.
This sadly is a bad idea, as it’ll get your entire store account banned (Steam, battle.net, etc). Chargebacks work great until the whole account matters.
Don't underestimate meth heads looking for copper. I knew a power company employee that told me there were more than a couple of incidents of a tweeker getting fried at the local sub station after they scaled a 9-foot wall covered with warning signs, topped with razor wire, and monitored by a few security cameras...presumably with the notion they'd get a whole lot of copper out of there while everything was energized.
To put it pretty bluntly: you were off the rails at "getting a VPS from provider X doesn't mean that they will". You're talking in terms of not having a custom kernel, and that's just the wrong layer of abstraction if we're talking about "cloud"; this whole discussion is really about VM and colo levels of abstraction anyway ("Cloud" advice would be "Just use your vendor's S3 blobstore").

Base Ubuntu has xfs support. If your VPS provider won't run plain old Ubuntu with some cloudinit stuff, get a new VPS provider.
ChatGPT recommended me this book:

A Beginner's Guide to the Mathematics of Computer Science by J.E. McLeod and J.A. Fekete

I can't find this on Google or Amazon. Does it even exist?? I can't find the authors either.
The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.

In its last paragraph, ChatGPT is implying that there was a contradiction in your initial question, which there wasn’t. Even when replacing “A, B and C” in the question by “A, C and B”, it still gets it wrong.
The goal of whoever chooses the ERP software is to have people make fewer decisions. Whether it takes you 5 or 15 seconds to figure out what to do next/record what you've done is of much lesser importance than what to do next/how what you've done is processed.

Sure the UI could be improved, but https://xkcd.com/937/ rule still applies.
"Named", yes. Ugh. I mean, find a random person on the street and ask them to sort "Extremely", "Super", and "Ultra", and how confident they are.
The console bans should be investigated cause that’s a strong signal that the software is just wrong.
This is a feature! You and the other cheaters, whether you're actually baby or bathwater, will simply have to buy it again!!

IMO the only winning move is not to play. I loved calladoody back in university, but you've got to move with the times, yeah? OTOH, I'm not the one who really changed; I'm still all about dedicated servers, but they haven't been seen since Modern Warfare 1.

The winning move for the anticheat dev is shortly going to be not to play, either. It's one thing to implement increasingly invasive rootkits to find out who's watching your game's memory, but I've heard tell of devices that sit between the PC and monitor, using specialized ML to click M1 and fire when an enemy is detected in one's crosshairs. How can you check for something like that?
One could maybe say that about the book it's based on... But Hollywood has a bad record of "based on a true story." And as you point out, the whole truth seems like it might admit to a lot of crimes that could be used to prosecute people.
I'm trying that right now. It can probably do it, the big issue right now is that it won't give really long answers and just stop in the middle, which can be avoided by asking him to finish it, but it doesn't always works.
It's best to be aware of both. Yes, you may meet trolls and hardcore believers of some really stupid things, but if you always assume that anyone who disagrees with you is one of such people, you're bound to end up as one of them yourself.

EDIT:

Perhaps this is another skill, related to counterfactual analysis: being able to consider you're wrong just a tiny bit, even if you're certain you're right, just to reaffirm yourself. Holding the two conflicting states in your mind, in parallel, for however brief a moment. Kind of like speculative execution. Doesn't cost much if the other party is an obvious troll, but can pay off handsomely if you somehow ended up with a strong belief based on badly flawed assumptions.
I think the prompt you wrote is confusing, speaking for myself. I rewrote it and got this response:

Me: Imagine a set of 3 events (A, B and C) that each happen at a different time. Event A happens first. Event C happens between events A and B. When does event B happen?

ChatGPT: In the scenario you have described, event B happens after event C, since event C happens between events A and B. This means that the order of events is A, C, B. To put it another way, event B happens last in the sequence of events that you have described.
I've made it a personal rule that I would not pay to buy something I cannot own. Barring government regulations, if something does not give me full (theoretical) control of its functionality. Though, this is subject to some practical considerations, such as cost. If I can sufficiently limit the damage some unowned device can do (such as by not connecting to internet), and it is cheap enough second-hand, then I can still consider using it.
The fact that the technology involved masters is inane.
Just as every other aspect of American life has played out while being taken over by the corporate management model and financialization. Quality plummets, costs soar, Executives proliferate and grant themselves enormous pay raises, the ranks of Administrators and Executive Assistants balloon as these feudal lords require retainers and staff to maintain the style to which they feel entitled
> The larger point is that accusing people of playing victims is always a distraction from actual argume

Yes, and when they are really playing they become the victim of their own ploy.
That doesn't seem to be the cause for its confusion. I just tried the following, which avoids the use of "other" and any mismatch between letter ordering and event ordering, just to make things as easy as possible. It still fails:

Me: Imagine a set of 3 events (A, B and C) ordered with unique timestamps each. Event A is the first of all events to happen. Event B is in between events A and C. What is a valid bound for Event C's timestamp?

ChatGPT: A valid bound for Event C's timestamp would be a time after the timestamp for Event A, but before the timestamp for Event B. This is because events are typically assumed to happen in chronological order, so an event that comes after Event A but before Event B would be the logical next event in the sequence. Of course, the exact bounds for Event C's timestamp would depend on the specific timestamps for Events A and B. For example, if Event A happened at 1:00 PM and Event B happened at 1:30 PM, then a valid bound for Event C's timestamp would be any time between 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM.
I've been doing frontend pretty heavily since 2012 so I have years of obsolete skills. jQuery ui, Backbone, Batmman.js, Ember, Knockout, Angular
Universities have already lost their stranglehold on access to information. Now they focus on their monopoly of credentialism. If they lose that too they might face real competition and adjust course. There may be both bottom-up and top-down approaches to eroding that current monopoly.
You can do very surprising things to neuronal activity with weak electric fields (this is actually what I study). Some rough estimates (in brain):

- 100 V/m: force almost any neuron to spike, essentially on command. Electroconvulsive therapy hits this strength or a bit less.

- 20 V/m: force a neuron to spike, if it’s got the right shape and is properly aligned with the electric field.

- 0.2-1 V/m: Alter the timing of spikes, so they occur sooner or later than they otherwise might. At this level, you are often competing with ongoing brain activity, so the net effect might be more or less rhythmic spiking. Can do this safely and non-invasively in humans.

- 2-10 V/m: As above, but definitely win that competition so neurons tend to fire in sync with this field. Can kinda do this in awake humans, but it’s not comfortable.

- 0.04 V/m: Likely upper bound on the CRT field in the brain. It’s probably even weaker.
I believe the techniques being referred to generally fall under the "ancient DNA" camp, and from what I believe they haven't "shaken" up the field. Don't get me wrong, the results have been absolutely amazing, providing concrete genetic evidence for conjectures stemming from linguistic, anthropological, and archaeological evidence, but haven't, to my knowledge, changed our broad-strokes understanding of (pre-)history
Looked it up and hydrogen is actually much safer than gas when it comes to ignition and probability of explosion during accidents. If liquid fuel vehicles must remain in service, it seems like a worthwhile trade.

It doesn't replace a skilled programmer. It just turns you into an editor and curator, multiplying productivity on some tasks by 10X+.

It will give incorrect code, but you can guide it toward a correct solution by asking it to fix the problem. Normally you don't even have to say exactly what is wrong.

For example, I got it to implement a basic bittorrent tracker server in Go in about 5 minutes. I didn't even have to point it to the RFC. I just said to consult the bittorrent RFC. It gave me back a server with /announce and /scrape endpoints. I then asked it to implement the functions using a struct for the requests. It correctly deserialized the URL-encoded sha1 info hashes from the /announce endpoint on the first try. I didn't even have to mention that detail.

It can also help you explore solutions. I asked it about algorithms to learn policies for 2-player zero sum games. It gave me a description of min-max, MCTS, reinforcement learning, deep neural networks. I then asked it to describe the pros/cons of each, which it did. I asked it to show an example of a reinforcement learning algorithm in python from scratch, which it did in about 10 seconds.
Reminds me of this Bay Area incident from 2013 that has never been explained publicly:

I mean, this is how I feel chatting with some of my coworkers. A lot of them just parrot what they read on HN earlier in the week. And being an HN addict myself, it's obvious to me when they're doing it.

As programs like this advance I feel we're going to have a "God of the gaps" effect, but for intelligence.
The Wyoming corner crossing case
I'd guess it's something truly 'Orrible.

Maybe helmed by a vicious lawnmower?
But Netflix was originally DVD rental. At that time it wasn't a tech company was it?
It wasn’t but also I’d expect something like that to be very hard to make a case about: courts tend to be very deferential to business judgement and I’m sure they’d have very good lawyers arguing that the original problem was unforeseeable and this was maintaining an important business relationship (“the cost of switching would be astronomical!”). This kind of stuff tends not to have consequences unless it’s unbelievably blatant in writing or the higher ups are looking for a justification to terminate someone.
Wyoming’s corner crossing case

This scenario is the same for nearly every multiplayer video game.

Here's a recent example in the Russian game Escape from Tarkov[1]. A player kills a developer and gets banned moments after for cheating. Luckily he manages to catch it on video, and posts it to reddit. He's subsequently unbanned. Why was he banned? "false alarm triggered". When asked for more details, BSG responds "Sorry, can’t tell you cause it’s part of anti cheat system, hope you understand". Which is ridiculous.

BSG is in Russia and therefore untouchable, but I don't have much hope for these other companies like ATVI who are doing the sort of abuse.

I keep hearing about how in the US enrollment is going to drop in a few years when the kids (not) born during the great recession of 2008-2010 hit college age. Interesting to see how that will play out with this administrative bloat.
Well, the name "J.A. Fekete" does have a covfefe vibe.
What’s the harm in waiting more than 27 hours after an event occurred before we start calling it terrorism?

It’s being investigated, news agencies are reporting on it, and as soon as they have actual evidence that it is terrorism I am sure that they will start using that word.
I was thinking that unless he’s filthy rich from book sales, he could spend time convincing a rich, eccentric. Maybe he has tried.
Vast swaths of paleontology and archeology can be summed up by the word "oviraptor". Instead of saying "We don't know" they feel compelled to make up a _plausible_ story which sometimes the field puts forth a likely sequence of events and the public then take it to mean fact. It's likely most people in the field(s) themselves understand it to be conjecture with some interpretable signposts --but introductory courses generally introduce lots of the field as fact based presupposing students understand that it's composed of lots of conjecture.
Happy to:

Can you navigate with two fingers in a web browser? Yes.
I've also been underwhelmed by non-Apple touchpads until using this. I'm not sure how much of the experience is hardware and how much is Fedora 36.

How is text selection? Identical to my Macbook: move to start of selection with pointer finger, press on touchpad with thumb, move to end of selection with pointer, release thumb.

Screen: I'm not sure exactly how to answer this; I have several Macbooks and I agree their screens are nice. I like the Thinkpad's screen more for development (it seems to be less glossy/give better contrast independent of external light) whereas I think the Macbook screens look better at broader angles (for example, a couple of people watching a movie, looking at the screen diagonally).

Battery life: I'll have to run it off charger for more than a day to see when it finally dies. So far I spent one day roaming around without connecting it, during which it was under constant use: programming during the day and streaming at night. Something on the order of 8 hours.
Depends. Most companies would have you specify the project/cost centre for every purchase, but amounts/locations/etc are automatically provided by the card issuer.
1. The model demonstrated interesting result.

2. AdS universe locally similar to real dS universe.

On top of that, modeling was done with quantum device.

Where the reputation harm could come from.
There was an arguably "better" rationale given for paying out engineers to play hard on the chance they land a success . . .

The denial of those engineering talents to competitors.
Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
It's like interviewing a clueless, but incredibly confident, candidate.
Not as strong As you might think. The Cronus is a very strong cheating device for consoles, and it’s ubiquitous enough to be sold in some big-box retail stores.
This is in no way anywhere near normal, come on now.
What's the significance of VHS tapes?
Because there’s a large group of people in our society who are aligned along that same “can’t trust science/politicians/MSM” axis. Gaining an understanding of, and empathy for, those people will serve you well and is important for society. Talking with them about why they think what they think is a good way to do that.
Do you consider Amazon a tech company prior to AWS product launch?
That's survivor's bias. You've interacted with people who wanted to interact with you and thus seemed (and probably were) friendly.
What do you think cognition is, if not a coherent flow of ideas?
Any problem written for an exam like this is going to be at least a little contrived. :) But that "airline seat" one---2002? Some people still talk about that one! It's Q4 in https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/apc/compsci_a_frq_02_1... if you'd like to revisit it...
If you're talking about carbon steel it takes a little more technique and especially more oil to use for things where you want a non-stick situation. It's not a ton of oil but there's definitely been a shift in the last couple decades and it just doesn't work with the infinitesimal amounts of fat a lot of people try to cook with now.

Where teflon nonstick is as foolproof as you can get, as long as the coating hasn't worn out things basically won't stick. It also makes cleanup very easy even for things where you don't specifically need nonstick, which is very practical for how a lot of people cook, especially people who don't particularly enjoy cooking. Can't really put carbon steel in the dishwasher either, which again people who enjoy cooking and maintain nice gear look down on, but is just a practical consideration that a lot of people weigh heavily so you can't ignore.

If you're talking about cast iron that's a different thing. A lot of overlap with teflon nonstick but some things aren't comfortable or practical in it so it's not a complete replacement.

I'm not specifically an expert on cookware or anything but I have like 20 years of professional cooking experience so not totally ignorant either.
Ask HN: Did ChatGPT just stop telling stories?
Yesterday ChatGPT would tell funny and entertaining stories when prompted. Now it just says “As an AI model I can’t generate original content or stories.”

Is this just me? I was trying to push its limits and maybe the model stopped playing along.

Edit: it started again. Weird.
It's damning evidence enough that Netflix aren't having an expert on the show, isn't it?
Certainly strikes me as impossible. There are so many vital things required to keep society functioning.

Water treatment, electrical generation, electrical distribution, hospitals, medicine production, medicine storage, ISPs, cell phone towers, intercontinental internet cables, cargo rail, oil pipelines, petroleum refining, snow/ice removal...

With increasing economies of scale and centralization, it is also possible that some large number of critical services might no longer be as distributed and resilient as they were 50 years ago. How many factories does Kraft/Tyson use to produce cereals or butcher meat?
This highlights the vulnerability beautifully. If your random meth-head can get close enough to do some amount of infrastructure damage (frying themselves or not), a coherent enemy, mis-guided or otherwise, with time and resources to plan and execute, could do exponentially more.

But maybe drug-seekers are more crafty than I give them credit for. They're probably amongst the most motivated of humanity to reach their end-goal, so maybe it's not as good an example.

"If you want a problem solved, tell a meth-head there's a score in it for them if they succeed"
>How can you check for something like that?

I've heard of work around using machine learning to analyze players and compare them to the actions of cheaters. It's not flawless but it can give some kind of probability of cheating so you can match make cheaters with other suspected cheaters.
Not just weathering, but also sea level rise. Settlements built on the coastline when sea levels were lower than today would leave little or no trace after millennia underwater. I'm not necessarily claiming that such settlements had any technology more advanced than stone tools, but it's difficult to conclusively prove that they didn't.

Another possibility to consider is that while human skeletons might not have changed much in 300K years, it's also possible that some more recent mutations gave us the mental capacity to advance technology and build civilizations. Maybe our ancient ancestors just weren't very smart?
I suppose most of it is that terrorism and just any ideological violence is more about sending a message than being effective. This isn't total war. The point isn't really to outage a random town/county from power or internet. You want to be flashy and obvious. It's why suicide missions are the common method. Being a martyr is more ideologically powerful than causing massive damage.

If you're subtle but effective, you look evil, and you're so clean and effective that for the most part people aren't scare of you. You don't even really want people to be scared of you.
This kind of thing will get you banned here. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
I have a personal holy war against internet ads and its industry, as a reprisal the destruction of the better internet of the bygone era. I use everything in my power to remove internet ads from my attention - ublock origin, sponsorblock for youtube. Adaway for Android phones. Now I rarely ever see ads on my computer/phone. Real life ads, while also occasionally annoying, is not nearly as harmful as it does not track you or gatekeep information.
I don’t think it’s any different but let’s be honest about the type of political content younger people often consume. It’s always snippy, fast paced, and with a “surprising” angle.

24hr talking heads are equally low brow but it’s usually more straight forward sound bite + overt opinion layer.
>Granted, there could also be the power industries version of "security theater" but I'm going to err on the side of optimism.

Literally this is all that happens. The only people who can be happy are those who sell security-ware.

Someone could get in a car and go and on a rampage running over multiple people downtown, and the response from people will be to put guardrails on every street and have people wear helmets outside, or even better, not be outside in anything other than a car, where the right alternative is to make a society where such happenings are rare and unthinkable not because of guardrails but because people are taken care of on a material level so they're less likely to turn into maniacs.
> EDIT: Wow. OK, I guess I'm the only one in the world who's ever seen that happen.

It happens regularly in larger companies. Most patents that I have also have others on them, because secondary people had to approve my applications. That's just how these things work. The only exceptions to this are those patent applications that I approved for others.

Remember, work on a patent may be more complex than the work on a corresponding invention. Also, the patent must be useful to the company in order for them to cover the bill. Taking a single employee's word for that is not enough.
This is, like the rest of the machine learning stuff, totally unsurprising, and totally without any meaning in the sense of "artificial intelligence".

How many millions of questions/answers was the model trained on?

It's basically a statistical merging of trained answers based on similarities to training questions.

With very little similarity to the way human intelligence understands a complex subject like chemistry.
I think you underestimate how hard it is to find evidence of human settlement under sediment in the sea floor in 400 ft of water. Anything organic likely is gone, but there might be stone evidence. Unless it's something like Gobleki Tepi, it would be very hard to identify. And sites like that would be very rare, if there are any. It's worse than finding a needle in a haystack.

As far as I know, little effort had been put into it.
Off-topic but I was shocked at the clean design.
