I have a video recording of one irrationally happy time, I recorded it because I had a nifty new camera that could do it... the subject... me and my daughter in her car seat, waiting for my Wife to do some shopping.

It's simply half an hour of "Where's Daddy?... oh oh... There's Daddy... " peek-a-bo with laughter all around.

That was an insanely happy time. There's been lots of other fun, but that was peak pure bliss.
How do they detect that an answer has been generated by ChatGPT?
Quotes:
“ Apple wanted to create a self-driving car without a steering wheel or pedals, but has decided that such a plan is not feasible at the current time. The vehicle will have guided driving features that work on highways, but it will not be able to operate entirely on its own at all times.
”

“ The chip is equivalent to four of the highest-end Mac chips and is nearly production ready. The car will include a custom array of lidar sensors, radar sensors, and cameras, which will be able to provide the car with positioning information, lane data, and orientation compared to people and objects.”

Interesting information on the chip. I wonder how that would compare to competitors
Primates being treated "abnormally well" usually means they are left to do what they want without interference in their lives. This is a false descriptor of what they are being put through.
I wonder if AI will bring pain to fake detection systems.
How were you able to do this if billing codes are copyrighted? Where did you get all of the billing codes? Also, isn't this pointless as the final pricing is highly dependent upon one's insurance policy? Also, the price differs if you pay cash versus with insurance.
Just think of the Web 3.0 aesthetic, or even Microsoft's Fluent design. It's putty all the way down

Instagram the software has no intrinsic value. The whole thing could be reproduced in no time. It's the network effect that matters and getting that effect is essentially a hack. Yes, the author's prime example is a hack of society.

That's not automation, it's an example for the fact that software can be copied for zero cost.

Compare that to a company with an intrinsic value, like Tesla. How far could Elon (I know he's not the founder) automate Tesla? Even if all tools for such an automation were available, how would a single person even know how to design and build a car, let alone the required automated factories?
I don't agree that jerrre isn't saying anything of substance. It could have been fleshed out better, but what they say is a reasonable counter to their parent's argument.

ceronman's thought experiment was "if you have employees, you have to share your profits ... If [they] don't produce any value, easy, fire them all, you get everything."

jerrre's response, which I think is fair, is that we're already running this experiment. If businesses did not think employees produce value, they would not pay them wages or salaries, because every dollar paid to an employee is a dollar less of profit for the company. Companies already acknowledge the value that employees create value by the very fact that they pay them anything.

In other words, what's actually at stake isn't whether employees create value but how much, and ceronman's comment doesn't contribute anything to that discussion.
I have some bad news for the other person that was tired of hearing about ChatGPT :P
I know everyone's (as usual) "amazed" by this, but here are a few stark observations: (1) a linguist could do this (come up with a toy language, conjugations, and sentence structure, probably the Python code too) in like 30 minutes, (2) it's disappointing that the AI constantly messes up very simple grammar rules (rules a grade-schooler could understand)—I'm actually very surprised it doesn't have hardcoded grammar rules it can merely apply to different tokens—, (3) "Here’s the final code ChatGPT generated"—yeah, after like 10 rounds of debugging. Come on, give me a break.

Lastly, this is actually not really "inventing" a language, as it's literally translated 1:1 from English with pretty common grammar cases. I was recently in Donostia/San Sebastian, where Basque is spoken (interestingly, Basque is a language isolate). Grammar rules there are completely alien[1] (though still human). Expecting it to come up with something like that would be interesting. As far as I can see, though, it's still a far cry even from other "invented" languages like Tolkien's Elvish or even Star Trek's Klingon.

I wonder if someone who's familiar with the process of language acquisition could tell whether chatGPT makes errors similar to those a human would make.

Like this one

>Does the slime see the earth under the sky while eating the food?

whereas the correct one was

>Does the earth's sky see the slime eat food

I could easily see someone learning the language interpret as the former because it seems to make more sense at first.

Also the response to

>Now, restate your opinion on Glorp in Glorp, inventing any new words and grammar that you require to express yourself.

Is again pretty amazing. It shows evidence of the same self-modeling capabilities that were seen in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33847479

The outputted python code provides a literal word for word translation, but I guess it's expecting too much for it to encode english grammar into the program.
yes, I agree to an extent. This thing will also be able to deliver nuclear ordnance, something drones currently are not able to do, and for missiles-in-silo have a different kind of deterrence effect
The win9x default gray was from an age where you didn't necessarily have the option to use an arbitrary shade of gray - meanwhile Macs had full control of the hardware (as they still do) and could pick any old color.

That said, you _could_ customize all the colors in Win9x if you liked, which you couldn't do with Macs.

Yeah, I haven't used ICC for 7 years now, but at the time it was much better than clang/gcc at keeping SSE/AVX intrinsic types in registers through function calls (i.e. clang/gcc used to spill out onto the stack and re-load), and things like this in the article.

Thanks for sharing! Billing codes certainly seem like a significant source of complexity. Another area that seems problematic to me is an apparent surfeit of middlemen.

What conclusions might we draw from the fact e.g. a "Pharmacy Benefit Manager" is a job that exists only in the US [0]? Why does it feel like my insurance premiums pay for lots of things that are difficult to attribute to actual improved health outcomes?

Appreciate your insight.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm assuming "your" means eth, which I'm not directly talking about in my response. I'm talking about the failure of crypto adoption that's original purpose was a fast, cheap and decentralized currency - none of which has come to fruition and by the looks of it, never will.

The Berlin, Texas, Shanghai factorys are essentially 'back-up factorys'.
> But originally the App Store was leveraging their existing payment infrastructure e.g. the one they use for iPhone sales. Purchases and invoices were done through SAP which was manually configured to support those price points.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if taboo and stigma "evolved" in societies as defense against the spread of behavior that could cause a breakdown of social order. For example, if something like dancing mania[0] got out of hand, then important jobs could be left undone and people starve or whatever. So if the notion that such behavior is bad is drilled into everyone's mind before being exposed, then they are more likely to avoid "catching" it.

Reminds me of how Americans spend a couple of months in the UK and return with an affected British accent.

Before social media, there were movies that molded society. Bollywood and more recently K-dramas/K-pop have influenced an entire generation.

Often these were used for shaping a younger generation as a long term strategy for a desirable adult demographic. To a certain extent, it is happening in our American public school system. Everyone who comes through it are kind of identical. It may not be apparent to those who have never stepped out of the States, but it is obvious to those outside or have known other cultures.

With social media impacts, its effect is like an oil spill. Even if you can contain it, it will be messy, expensive and traumatic for years and years. This is a Faustian bargain we have made.
Same.

My only issue is as a long time iPhone user they have a lot of games labeled as “+” which means it was previously available but had cost money.

There are many great games, but they’re not with a lot to me as I’ve already played them.

Great for people who hadn’t though.
I'm surprised the word "pastel" wasn't used in this article because the new car colors look pastel to me so that's the word I've been using.

A film adaptation of Neuromancer loses my favorite part of it, the writing. The most famous part of the book is its opening line: 'The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.' It feels more like reading verse than prose, and it's worth it to read it just for that.

Take that away and what is left? It's published far back enough that unique elements of its plot should already be familiar to audiences from its imitators. The characters to me are not very memorable (maybe Wintergreen is). Gibson found that Blade Runner looked exactly like what he had in mind for Neuromancer. There's no meat to the book without it being a book.
No reason not to give the end use the flags for searching. You either get results or you don't. If someone wants to make a simple calculator and not charge for it, they should be allowed to do so and ideally apple will give the tools to the user to find such an app.

Also, devs still do put ads in some purchasable apps So just having a "one time purchase" toggle doesnt solve the problem.

Thank you for the short summary (assuming you understand it correctly); I was having trouble following the legal rights and obligations of the different parties.

I also share your confusion: if a central body is trusted in this scenario, then why can't the atomic transactions be equivalently performed on a public Merkel tree with a centralized source of truth?
Many are also built around acquiring the market share/user base.
I feel like you could do that exact same math with human lives as well, but either way the reasoning is flawed - there is no benefit to sloppy mistakes that produce unusable data.
>Legislators for R2R in EU currently are trying to define R2R as being "if the manufacturer sells a part, they must sell it to everyone," not "the manufacturer must individually sell all pieces of a product until they are no longer divisible" - but the Louis Rossmann crowd views as being insufficient R2R. So... another loose R2R schism.

Rossman appears to want the same as you say the EU want, the actual manufacturer to sell parts freely rather than being locked up by that manufacturer's downstream buyers (eg Apple) preventing repairers like Rossman from going to the chip factory to get the supplies to do repairs, in the same way that Apple go to the factory to get supplies when manufacturing boards, etc.

No Proton on Mac :) I would guess it works well in CrossOver for Mac, but I haven't tried it.

I wouldn't suggest that joining a crunch-mode kind of company like Twitter is a great work-life balance for everybody, but at least they're being pretty honest that they're in kind of a survival mode situation and need all-hands to buy into some hard work.

The worst situation to be in is a company that's faking being friendly. They buy ping-pong tables and video game consoles to decorate their offices and show off how cool and hip they are, but it's frowned on to ever try and use them even for a 15 minute break. And there's no break areas to take a decent rest in during the expected crunch times anyway: at least Twitter is providing something.
Er, how can you express the merge operation as a type?

One thing that can be problematic with App sales is that apps will usually have new purchases dry up after a while. But unlike old desktop software where you could release, fix bugs for a while, and then just call done, for mobile apps you need periodically update them, or risk getting unlisted from the stores. Some developers may be ok with that, but others would prefer their older apps to remain available. Those developers now have ongoing maintenance costs, so how can they recover that money?

The old desktop approach of new major versions that people have to purchase periodically is not really feasible on IOS, since old versions would clog up the app store, and there is no way to offer the new versions at a discount to past purchasers, which desktop software likes to do to avoid annoying recent customers when a new version comes out.

So to recover for costs from ongoing development, an app developer will either need to 1) somehow increase the number of people who will purchase the app, 2) add a recurring revenue source like ads to the app (possibly with IAP to disable), 3) make the app subscription based (but only some types of apps can pull this off), or 4) make the app IAP based, and when updating add new features that can be purchased.

Now not every app does any of those. Some will just a single unlock IAP with limited functionality before that. But this is not all that different from the old demo or shareware approach, and the design of the app store makes it generally better to have the demo and full version be the same app, at which point IAP is the way to do that. Without a recurring revenue source though, such apps are likely to either change approach or get abandoned eventually once the costs of periodically upgrading the app exceed the remaining revenue coming in.

----

Also there is the abusive IAP single use item to bypass artificial cooldowns MTX garbage that mobile games tend to be full of, but I really cannot bring myself to accept that as a legitimate business model. Even the Gacha model (terrible as it is) feels somewhat more legitimate, but I have plenty of significant concerns about those too. But I'm really looking at this from the perspective of non-games, or at least not "F2P" games.

This article confused me because of the connotation with "new cars." All car paints used to look like this until more and mare cars started selling "metallic" colors in recent decades, often for an extra cost. Look at old Volvo 240s for example, and very few of them have metallic colors, and usually only the higher end models. White, black, and red typically have always been and still are usually non-metallic colors.

A few years ago I suddenly noticed that non-metallic paint became so rare that it looked striking, when in the past (mid 90s or earlier) it had been the opposite- metallic paint was rare and a car with it would really stand out.

I strongly prefer the non-metallic look, and think it holds up better over time as well. It looks cleaner and simpler to me. I also prefer the look of Cellulose based paints used on mid-70s and older cars, which were even less glossy than modern non-metallic paints.
> I would just store my keys in my password manager

The trouble here is the transfer of assets from the manager into your apps. Lots of opportunity for thefts or screw up. Imagine you use the clipboard and some random app happens to be scanning it.
Yes, it's karaoke, but Apple can't brand that as its own.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-made-this

While I have zero interest in karaoke, I imagine it's devastating for a bunch of karaoke apps that are now going to see new sales evaporate. I don't think it's cool for the company to just take over a market, or a smart thing to do when their app store monopoly is a political football. I guess they're relying on antitrust enforcement being more of an idea than a practical reality these days.
