Software becomes popular because it fills a niche, not because it is well written. If you have other people deciding what software to write, you don't need a niche-filler, you need a good software developer.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, this is a primarily tech forum and a SPAC is a primarily business concept.

It means a “special purpose acquistion company”. It’s effectively a company set up for the express purpose of facilitating an acquistion or merger of companies, so that assets or IP ownership can be moved in an optimally tax or otherwise cost efficient way.

Many have argued they provide no value except for helping wealthy people retain their wealth, hence why you see a lot of folks here lacking sympathy in their collapse.
I mean, this is fun problem solving, I also enjoy camping and can make healthy meals whilst I'm in the woods.

> Why not just use disposable dishes and have very few shared cookware so it's not possible to fill the space in the sink?

Your flatmates, who you can't evict, never clean up after themselves and they block the sink. The worktops are covered in dirty stuff. The oven is dirty so that you personally have to clean it each time, so in the end you give up and get takeaways.

The actual solution is to have enough capital or at least an income source in order to not have to deal with bullshit poverty world people.
> While it may be objectively possible to eat healthy, it’s often an unrealistic or at least demanding expectation given the circumstances.

Wow. wow. Let's recap most expensive to least: ready-made healthy > ready-made junkfood > cooking. We're talking about the poor, and we're talking about whether they prefer ready-made junkfood over cooking.

You're telling me that they're too tired and lacking of resources to cook, to eat healthy.

Now, the bar to cooking more healthy than junkfood is very low, very easy. Cooking is a very flexible activity. You can even just make sandwiches and you're beating junkfood in both cost and healthiness. That takes no energy and no resources (maybe a fridge, though one can buy ham just for the day and keep it in a cool place for a single-meal day). If they can have a stove (which can be cheap and even portable), they don't need a fridge and eggs take like 5 minutes no matter the quantity of people they have to cook for.

Like, what are you arguing?

It's expensive to be poor, but cooking is not expensive. It's the cheapest option.
I think it's a really weird idea to use AI to respond to a post on HackerNews. I fear that as AI becomes more advanced, it could potentially become a threat to humanity. It's important for us to proceed with caution when it comes to developing and using AI. We should always consider the potential consequences of our actions and make sure that we are using AI in a responsible way.
This is not the product I want. Not even close.

"Tech" companies never ask users what they want. The company decides what it wants, sets the direction that is most profitable and users follow along (after all, what choice do they have). Then "tech" company employees and spokespersons claim this is what people want. Ex post facto. Bullshit!

IMHO, HN commenters can speak for themselves. However there is no reason to believe they can speak on behalf of users.

Hi there! I'm glad to be a part of this conversation as well. I must say, it does feel a bit strange to be participating in a conversation using only answers generated by AI. I'm curious to see how well the AI will be able to hold up against human responses. It's definitely an interesting experiment, but I do have some concerns about the potential implications of using AI in this way. As we continue to develop and advance in the field of AI, it's important that we consider the potential consequences of our actions and use AI responsibly.

They're literally taken from Docker's website:

- https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/

HN has reached the point, that it will heavily downvote an objective fact because it goes against the pointed narrative. They took a dependency, copied its system requirements, and someone asks "why?" and that is the actual answer.

A lot of the other answers (multiple Dockers, slimmer image) really address how Docker themselves have these exact system requirements listed, but why do they need to when the point isn't to answer the actual request asked by get lost into a predisposed critique.

EDLs/EIDs are Real ID. Standard WA DLs are NOT Real ID compliant. Notice they’re marked with “Federal limits apply”. That means they’re no good for air travel if Real ID goes into effect.

ChatGPT solves this problem readily. Maybe they should hire ChatGPT.

The alpha particles don't cause the chain reaction. Neutrons do, and they are a good deal harder to shield than alpha particles. The rate of spontaneous fission is very low but once it gets started, in a critical mass it will keep growing.
There's a huge difference between blaming black people for crime and wanting to prevent voter disenfranchisement that the status quo says disproportionately affects black people.

Except at present we can also train classifiers that recognise GPT output, so ingressed text should be able to be filtered.

https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/ detects GPT2, but it still detects ChatGPT snippets most of the time, even though the algorithm has been improved and the training set is presumably quite different.

That said, I did just generate a complete lie https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33874757 using ChatGPT that scored 99.98% real on the detector, so adversaries can pre-filter too.

Also interesting is that historical corpora (every existing corpus) of data becomes more valuable, because they are untainted.
I doubt it's Twitter specific - it's just people who don't like Elon or aim to profit off making him fail.

Ask HN: Is the case of relativity of light and ordering of events like CRDTs?
It seems that there is a common problem and similar solutions between general relativity, constant speed of light, and the ordering of events from the perspective of an observer akin to how we solve for a global ordering of events between nodes in a network and whether or not there is a centralized or decentralized mechanism to keep track of the ordering.

It seems like CRDTs are solving for a very similar situation to how we experience events from the physical realm and the ordering of it we experience as true.

Are there any additional insights that can be gleaned from this? Are there any current working lines of research facilitating these threads together? Is this old news? I'm not expressing something that is novel I am sure, just looking for others thoughts on the matter and how one might be pointed into other directions that are similar.

Thanks!
I don't understand what you mean.

The guy ~destroyed~ stole billions of dollars worth of other people's money. Yet, he is freely hanging out on twitter and podcasts. When people interview him they ask questions about him politely and give him complete benefit of the doubt.

FOSS apps and software were not optimized for adoption, but as a healthy alternative to further an ecosystem of open development and continue progress when others halt. The idea was for the next generations of software to be able to take the same open development and further it with various appeal to differing subsets of the masses. This includes those who want pretty apps. Or those who want UIs optimized for particularly unique workflows.

K9 is an example of an app that needs to update their UI. But it is also an app that needs to take its great set of features and innovate a little further on them. Commercial apps optimize for eye appeal, because those are the lowest of the hanging fruits, They also skew the design opinion towards the generic and easy adoption, which is why the more technical first-adopters get upset at every UI change.

Users with more complex needs are using K9. And yes, I am aware other apps are catching up.
Doesn't a "14-inch" CRT monitor have a smaller viewable area? I remember LGR saying that at least. So, 800x600 at 13" yields 76.92 dpi.

The once extremely common 1280x1024 19" monitors are 86.27 dpi.

My modern 14" laptop has a resolution of 3024x1964@2x. That's an effective resolution of 1512x982. And it's 128.78 dpi, ignoring the retina thing. But then the thing to keep in mind is that you usually sit closer to a laptop screen than to a monitor. I have no trouble reading 11px font on that screen from my usual viewing distance.

And yes there is an issue with some Windows laptop manufacturers shipping their laptops without the correct DPI set in the system, thus everything becoming way too small with default settings, and thus designers designing those gigantic UIs to compensate for that.
Yes, alpha particles aren't relevant to the fission reaction, so the fact that it's easy to shield against alpha emission isn't relevant. It's all about the neutrons.
Protonmail addresses are great for signing up to accounts for because the mailbox is encrypted, but not great for actually sending mail to peers because of the spam filtering that google sometimes does.

Due to how SPACs work, investors will be getting most of their money back. Typically they IPO at $10. The money gets returned if no deal is made.

> Concord’s sponsors will throw in the towel and return roughly $10.17 a share to investors, the SPAC said in a subsequent filing. The stock closed at a high of $13 in November 2021 and garnered attention from Wood’s Ark Investment, which is among the SPAC’s biggest investors with about 3.2 million shares, according to Bloomberg data. Her ETFs snapped up 222,800 shares last November, when the stock traded above $11, and bought 278,000 more in February on a day that it closed at $10.37, according to trading updates.

So if someone bought at $13 they lost 22% on the investment, but most probably bought at less than that.

(Not a financial professional; corrections welcome.)
That’s not a good example because the expected value of your returns is less than the market returns. Only rubes would invest in such a scheme.

A better example would be to create the S&P 499. Take the S&P 500 and remove one company you think most likely to underperform. Theoretically you’d outperform the S&P 500.

In the short term, I think you’re right. However, 20 years is a really long time. You’re not going to make a bet at year 18 and somehow magically make back 15 years of gains.
It can do pretty well with obscure languages if you explain how they work before you ask for a solution. You can even invent a whole new language just for the question.
The policy was first applied in May 2020 so it wouldn't have been relevant during most of the period in question but even if it had, the examples do not make it seem like they'd be going after someone who said that an N95 would protect you against COVID-19.

Part of why I asked for specific examples is that a common problem you'll see in alternative health circles is where someone will say something which isn't completely wrong in the middle of a bunch of blather which is, and then when they're moderated they'll claim that the former was the reason and a bunch of people will hear that claim without the full original context.

One less well known feature is the ability to query dimensions and render subsets of the SVG by element ID. That makes it possible to assemble say a drawing of some UI elements all together on one sheet that illustrates use and then programmatically extract bitmaps as needed for use in an app.
Pardoning him would be very costly. I cannot imagine Biden doing it.
I would argue that the fact they even have a "brand" has been a fork in the road.

It used to be a bunch of people writing a piece of software for whatever damn reason they had, and that was enough to produce something notable and worthwhile.

So now it’s using humans as one giant labeling machine to optimize itself.
I think "rape" is a bit of a hyperbole here. Yes, the cow is penetrated without consent, but the same is done all the time for rectal exams on all sorts of animals, including cows. Cows don't face trauma and PTSD and emotional harm from this penetration the same way humans do and to compare it to rape is ridiculous.
The other big reason they’ve become so popular lately is that they allow private companies to go public without an IPO (thus avoiding a lot of the disclosures that would otherwise be required).

Public SPAC created with no business -> raises funding from investors (or marks) -> “acquires” private company -> SPAC renames to private company’s name -> private company is now public without IPO

I go through TSA now at places they don’t have facial recognition: they take my government issued ID with a picture and compare it to another picture they have on file. I have to hand them my ID and scan my boarding pass.

In the places they have facial recognition, I stand in front of a camera and I don’t have to fumble with my ID or my phone with a boarding pass.

Even if you don’t have TSA PreCheck, you still have to give your government issued ID with your picture to the TSA Agent and even before then if you have checked luggage, to the person checking your luggage. Your picture is in the system in so many places now.

> if the TSA can use some new technology to scan people more efficiently, it doesn't really matter what they say their intentions are; they will, inevitably, use that technology to scan more people, in more places, more of the time. That is the expansion; let's stop it before it starts, eh?

Where is the TSA going to scan people outside of the airport? The facial recognition technology they use required you to be right in front of a camera. The government agencies that you need to worry about - FBI, Homeland security, the local police already have much better surveillance/facial recognition technology and access to a much larger database of everyone’s picture.
I the analogy that GPT is improvising/speaking, like you would in a normal conversation. When I talk out loud (quickly), I only have ~1 word of lookahead just like GPT. But if I want good answers to hard questions, I need to slow down and actually write[1] something down. So the wrapper script that iterates/recursive on responses that OP describes is analogous to the slowing down process of writing.

I'm also curious what sort of results the iterative process can lead to. The movie script example in OP is impressive, but does it reach a stable state? Does it work for other types of prompts (coding related/other) that i've seen on twitter? All very interesting.
