Terrorism is a stupid strategy. Its track record is terrible. The folks who engage in it, fortunately, are not the most capable.
Google cloud has a strategy / OKR process. It’s called Amazon Re:invent.

The blog had some good points but was totally off of Cloud being bottom up. It couldn’t be as it was so far behind others — you don’t have time to think up something new when the competition has already done something. Decisions came from the top down.

The author was right in that there’s a lot of smart people there. By far the best place I’ve been for that.
For native, it's pretty awesome, and it's nice that you can get a hint of what it can do by checking out the web demo.
> Why the bloody fk would you say that about anything ever?

Because there are fundamental limits in chemistry to how little mass an electrical capacitor electrolyte material can have per unit charge; and because there are fundamental limits in physics to the dynamics of self-propelling systems (upper-bounded in efficiency by the ideal rocket equation.)

We know those things. Science can prove that we can't do certain things. Thermodynamics, y'know?

Of course, we can work around having to do those specific things — e.g. in the case of cargo ships, we could use far more numerous, smaller, lower-mass ships, rather than a few ultra-massive ones; or more obviously (and to Gates' point) we can use some other form of energy storage than capacitance — but that doesn't mean that we're actually then doing those impossible things. Those specific things are still impossible.
Best anti-cheat is to separate your cheaters from your general gamers, if some behavior is detected that indicates they are a cheater temporarily remove them from the same queue as normal players and treat all players they party or queue with the same. In this queue they only get paired against other questionable players. When they themselves or other in this cheater queue report a person enough times temporary ban the user from playing for one week, two weeks, four weeks. Depending on the strikes, but never perma ban.
This headline made me think of Google as one of those money laundering apparatuses you watch mob / cartel movies about briefly, they overspend on “projects” and make it just functional enough to look legit. Course if I were a true evil money launderer I almost want to say Amazon as a “shipping company” of sorts fits the bill too.
That was just one model; there were others that were faculty run, church run, etc.

I also started a BBS when I was 12. When I got my first PC with a modem I ran a telephone extension cable from my room all way across the house to the kitchen. It hung about 2 feet high. After 2 weeks of my parents tripping over the cable every morning, they decided to get me my own phone line in my room.

From that point forward, I ran a BBS for many years. I can still find my name in those old BBS listings from textfiles.com.

I have many interesting stories from that era.

And, tbh, wtf does it matter if I wanted to "cheat" in single player mode? Oh no - it would be unfair to some AI NPCs? At one point "cheating" in single player mode was called modding -- and it drove communities and made software publishers money by keeping games fresher longer.
I’ve watched enough of Hancock to know that he starts with an observation: xyz physical structure doesn’t align with our accepted view of history, and then tries to find a conclusion.
> Chrome is by far the best browser.

The reason this is true is simply because it's dominant, so every site builds for compatibility for Chrome. This is similar to how Windows is the best OS for gaming. Not because Windows has any technical advantage, but it's simply what developers build for. Firefox would "be the best browser" if it were dominant.
2/3 books actually exist, good job ChatGPT.
Google uses it. My fiction is someone got a kickback and/or owns stock
Thank you for posting this.

I’m not sure why but it seems like very few of the ChatGPT threads I’ve read across on Twitter/HN showing “very accurate and intelligent” results never experiment with ablation which is very important in prompt engineering and when evaluating DL models.

I’m very excited about transformer based LLMs and use them extensively in my research and I think their generated content is good, but no where near being perfect or an imminent threat to society as people are worried about.

There are several fundamental limitations in their training that prevent this from happening and can’t be solved simply with “more training” as they still lack knowledge.

Recent work by researchers such as Dr. Percy Liang and Michiro Yasanuga (i.e. DRAGON, LinkBERT) has begun tackling this problem with KG injection (rather than supervised learning in ChatGPT) but we’re still a ways away.

Every game that had a LAN mode could generally be played either via a software VPN, or other methods. More often than not games (especially FPSes) would ship with dedicated server software. You still needed to buy the game, but then you could run the dedicated server on your favorite hosting platform and play.

I think it was the xbox-ification of shooters that changed everything. 2009 or so, if I had to guess. MW2 was the first game that I remember really pushed company owned servers hard. Coincidentally this was also used to sell overpriced, often useless, DLC. At least back then the DLC was maps though.

It might be my age but I find it easier to remember games that DID have dedicated servers, rather than those that don't.
Nah they'll say it's a mentally ill lone wolf.

Renegade was great easy to run and looked great.

In San Diego at one point there was around a thousand BBS systems. Fidonet members would meet up occasionally and we would fill up a big room. It was an incredible time.
Suggest you read the article. They do a pretty good job of estimating a lot of that and showing their work.
Visionary Broadband: FWA roots will boost $100M Fiber Plan
StackOverflow and Google are finished.

This is expected and it may not look like it now, but banning an advancement in technology (even temporary) is usually the first step to irrelevance of those pushing back.

In a few years from now when ChatGPT and perhaps the much awaited GPT-4 are released, get better, (or even an implementation is open sourced) it will further plummet the usage for SO and Google.

The genie is out of the bottle and there is no going back, I'll give it less than 15 years.
I don’t believe a motive was ever revealed but a domestic extremist was the cause of the Nashville bombing around the holidays in the last few years, targeted communications infrastructure.
I mean, kind of? Any speculation on what's up with a city thousands of years older than expected should be rooted in, you know, someone going and investigating the city in depth.

That usually starts with a grant.
Along with the obvious legal points made below, I also believe there are important social/cultural points. Which is to say, better (subconscious) threat modeling.

For many Americans, the word "terrorist" conjures an image of, e.g. a Muslim foreigner.

Data and experience suggests that the above is very not likely, and also, that domestic terrorism is likely more of an issue.

In other words, you get clarity, which reduces fear at best, and helps people more accurately threat model at worst.

So the premise is the US exaggerates Chinese intentions but “it will only become a paper airplane that will be gently falling down in the face of the iron wall of the PLA and the strong will of the 1.4 billion Chinese people.”

> Because the South Korean crypto market wasn’t connected to the rest of the world, the Bitcoin price was on average 4.73% higher in Korean than in the US from January 2016 to February 2018.

> Alameda couldn’t crack the Kimchi Premium either. But SBF quickly turned his sights on other Asian markets. Somehow it all worked. Alameda started raking in a daily 10% return on their starting capital of $50,000.

Christ the greed: `$50,000 * (1.1) ^ d` where `d` is the number of days they managed that kind of return.

When `d` is 30, the total is $872,470. `d` = 60? 15,224,081. `d` = 90 => 265,651,130. `d` = 120 => 4,635,453,440

What the hell was this moron thinking?
This one:

One of the leading protesters, Emily Grace Rainey, claimed on social media that sheriff's deputies questioned her about the outages after she posted that she knew why it had occurred, WRAL reported Sunday morning.

"I told them that God works in mysterious ways and is responsible for the outage," Rainey, who rose to local prominence protesting COVID-19 restrictions, wrote on Facebook. "I used the opportunity to tell them about the immoral drag show and the blasphemies screamed by its supporters."

In 2021, Rainey also resigned from her position as a psychological operations officer in the Army, after the Army investigated her for leading a group of people from Moore County to the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol

Rainey claims to be the head of the Moore County Citizens for Freedom (MCCF). The group is a "nonpartisan network of Moore County Citizens dedicated to the promotion of conservative values in Moore County, NC, through education and activism," according to its Facebook page.
I've always enjoyed playing and modding D2, so when D2R launched I bought it and again went into modding and what not, all single player. A while after that i got an email saying i had been banned. I tried hopping on a single player game and it worked so i didn't care too much since i don't play online anyways. However, to my surprise, 30 days after the ban when i tried to play i was greeted by a message saying that i had been offline for too long and needed to log back in to "verify ownership" of the game, which i obviously couldnt since i got banned, so i couldn't even play offline/single player.

Luckily i managed to get in touch with an understanding support rep who unbanned me, but not without a "stop modding if you don't wanna get banned again" message, which is absurd. I paid for the game and i should be able to do whatever i want with it within the confines of my own computer.
I agree. I just wish that it was paired with a banner along the lines of “this demo works on the web, but egui is focused on other platforms and you probably shouldn’t use it for the web” paired with a link to an article detailing the problems and how unsuitable it is.
I really don’t understand what’s so batshit about the claim that anatomically modern human with similar brains as modern humans could have built up civilizations and structures a few thousand years before the currently accepted dates.

Haha let's hope the maximum will be just this situation.
So they tried to offload shares to the public before actual deployment and failed?
It's the dream psychology for a good part of the mentality behind the internet, that only continued novelty will really "win".

Eventually some tractable little loopholes and reliable patterns will be found and it'll give way to a set of boring standards.

Copyright and attribution are going to be part of that, guaranteed.

But in the meantime it's got that great wild west feel of the early web.
It turns out that you can ask it to do more. I asked the model to,

> Can you write a sarcastic poem about the Hacker News user areoform?

Oh user areoform on Hacker News,
A paragon of wisdom, or so it seems.
Spouting facts and figures galore,
But do they ever think, or simply regurgitate more?

Their writing style is oh so dry,
As if they're reading from a textbook, not even trying to lie.
But maybe that's the point, who knows?
After all, being boring is the ultimate troll, right?

So here's to user areoform,
A shining example of mediocrity.
Their posts are yawn-inducing, to say the least,
But hey, at least they're consistent, at least.

Ouch.

I also asked it to write about reusable space vehicles as me,

Write about reusable launch vehicles in the style of the hacker news user areoform

Reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) are a type of spacecraft that are designed to be used multiple times, rather than being discarded after a single use. This technology has the potential to greatly reduce the cost of access to space, making it more affordable for a wider range of applications.

One of the most notable examples of an RLV is SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which has successfully landed and been reused on multiple occasions. This has been a major milestone in the development of reusable space technology, and it has paved the way for further advancements in this field.

RLVs offer several benefits over traditional, expendable launch vehicles. In addition to reducing costs, they also have the potential to reduce the amount of space debris and improve the sustainability of space exploration.

Overall, the development of reusable launch vehicles is an exciting development in the field of space technology, and it has the potential to greatly enhance our ability to explore and utilize space.

I then asked it to write it in the style of a generic user,

Write about reusable launch vehicles in the style of the average hacker news user

Reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) are the future of space travel. By being able to reuse rockets, we can drastically reduce the cost of getting to space, making it more accessible for a wider range of applications.

SpaceX has been leading the way in RLV development with their Falcon 9 rocket. Not only has it successfully landed and been reused multiple times, but it has also helped pave the way for the development of even more advanced reusable space technology.

But it's not just about the cost savings. RLVs can also help reduce the amount of space debris, making space exploration more sustainable. And who knows what other benefits they might bring? The possibilities are endless.

Overall, the development of RLVs is an incredibly exciting development in the field of space technology. It's not just about cost savings, but also about the potential to unlock new possibilities in space exploration.

It hits the same beats/points, but the verbiage is different/contextual. Incredible!

Elder Scrolls titles have been selling very well for a long time. I don't think this is new.
Thank you for posting this, sent $$ and a thank you! Love finding stuff like this.
They want to be in control of the mods (for 'security' reasons). So they can sell you extra service on top of it. We're moving towards GaaS (gaming as a service) really quickly and it's disheartening to see.
Management fad is contempt for labor, and applause for disruptive displays of aggression and narcissism (we can think of an especially prominent CEO who follows this herd - oddly trying to look like an outside-the-box leader).

That's the issue; not each individual case. Let's stop looking at each case individually, which is false, and deal with the systemic problem.

It's a cultural issue in the business world and society. Where do we start? I think in large part it is people mimicking - even people who claim to despise him - Donald Trump. I think the timing and behavior match well. Though Trump was hardly the first to embrace that mode, which existed as a businsess subculture, it was not respected or celebrated. Now lots of people I know, even political progressives, behave like him in many aspects of their lives.

(Note that is not a partisan observation. Trump supporters might be happy about his influence, for example.)
I mean sick doesn't mean dying IMO, just dealing with a myraid of issues. The fact that we've even had nuclear war as a real potential threat in recent history is arguably a symptom of some global illness.

That level of discourse over a land dispute juat goes to show that our leaders arent really thinking of any of their actions long term consequences.

That's all extremely demoralizing to me, but I have the luxary of discussing my ideas here and seeing alternative viewpoints daily. That allows me to get a more level understanding of the objective world.

The spaces online availible to the layman however are nowhere near as welcoming to challenging of personal status quo.

And since ive already written this much i might as well make it a manifesto...

The main avenues of extremeism and propaganda were built by us hackers, we made communication efficient to our own detriment. The speed of the awfulness in our world can reach us faster than we can react is immense and that truth has been weaponized to put so many in their own digital versions of platos cave.

We need to paint a new place in the world, a goodly home for us all. I feel like matrix and the fediverse are part of that, atleast a v1 poc version of it.
This shows exactly how party change comes in a 2-party system (enforced by Duverger's Law due to first-past-the-post voting). One of the two main parties implodes for some reason, so the other party gets all the power. But that can't be sustained because there's different factions within that party, so the big party breaks in half, and you're right back to a 2-party system.
And here, I think, we landed on a core piece of the matter. That there are some "ineffable truths" reserved and locked away in the High Tower of Academia. Oh, you're not An Academic? Ha, moron. We know the truth, how dare you question it?

Guess What? Graham also isn't in academia. Yet, he's been talking about this for 30 years, gained a following, and now has a Netflix special.

The ball is in your court. If you want to talk about failures, let's not focus on Graham. Let's focus on this High Tower of Academia. Why the hell doesn't the accepted side of the theory have a Netflix Special? What happened to PBS? Our public schools are a disaster. Published research seems to be more of a contest to see who can use the most complex, flowery, unintelligible language in the Race for Academic Recognition.

THIS is why Academia lost this one. We're on HackerNews, so here it is: You're an engineer with a brilliant idea; but you can't market it. What's the point of the idea? Ideas are nothing without marketing. Its the same fucking thing. If there's Truth out there, scientific truth, it doesn't mean shit unless its communicated intelligibly and repeatably. Academia has institutionally FAILED at this. But, hey, tenure must be nice.

My favorite part about Ancient Apocalypse isn't really anything about the Ancient Apocalypse. Its the fact that Graham spends minutes in every episode saying "mainstream academia hates this, they hate me" and if you have no context you might hear that and think "wow he's being dramatic"; but he's not! Every single reaction I've seen to this show has been one of absolute vitriolic derision. There's startlingly little attempt to educate, present accepted facts, criticize his presentation. Its just "he's racist, this is a crackpot show, fuck netflix for showing this." Its like we just assume, despite a failing educational system, that people should just know he's wrong; and you're dumb for thinking he's right. His theories are out there; YouTube is free; shoot him the fuck down. I want to see it.
A reader asks how to avoid working for evil
well, nothing stops google from baking this into their search. But it feels harsh to claim SO is finished. SO is human curated and has an edge (today). And for all we know, chatGPT learnt from SO and can synthesize results that are almost good.
When we move to GaaS (gaming as a service) as the norm, it will be more like purchasing multiplayer online = buying a ticket to a sporting event. If you misbehave, of course, you can get kicked out.

So he was appropriately dressed to be in a snowmachine in the Alaskan outdoors, and could start a fire. Which to me reads that he cleared the absolute minimum essentials to not be a complete idiot. That still doesn't explain how he was so unprepared for anything going wrong that his best recourse was to resort to using a brand new feature which is largely untested in the real world.

What a ridiculous statement to make about people who enjoyed the latest Pokemon games. Yes they perform like ass. Yes they're buggy. But they're still surprisingly fun.

I hated the frame rate issues and various bugs I ran into. I considered requesting a refund (like I did do for similar reasons very quickly after buying Cyberpunk 2077). But before I knew it I was hours into the game. This is actually the first mainline Pokemon game in 15 years that I've played up through the Elite Four on. For me, the fun of the gameplay was enough to outweigh the negatives.

Also, don't forget that even back when games were significantly simpler they were still loaded with issues. The original Pokemon games are a good example here. They had many bugs, some of which were quickly found to be exploitable. To me that's another data point to indicate that issues with the game's coding don't necessarily make the game bad.
If there was a legally-protected right to access the service you pay for unless violation of agreed-upon rules has occurred (barring other situations like "company going out of business" or "gaming shutting down forever"), this would almost undoubtedly elicit the need for better-defined rules and substantiation of claims when bans occur.
