Or… they do work on it and haven’t published their results. Either because they’re not good enough - out because they’re better than expected.

I’ll leave it for you to decide which is the pessimistic option.

I'm really excited about this. My mom died of Alzheimer's. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Passing judgment on someone when you don't know the relevant facts is generally a bad idea. If this was a tourist near Anchorage or Fairbanks or Denali, that's one thing, but there probably aren't many tourists up near Kotzebue, especially in December.
I have -9 points. HN is doing well to prevent people from commenting without facts.
Instead of spending 6 months laboriously doing experiments in a lab, and then a month writing up their results in a paper, researchers can already write a paper in one month if they just invent the numbers without actually doing the experiments. Peer review doesn't check for this. This only further reduces that one month to 5 minutes (+ hours of fiddling with LaTeX templates?). But in both cases if it gets found out your career is over...

However what about generating patents? To get a patent you don't need to have done any experiments that prove your technique actually works :)
This raises more questions than it answers.

Why does "the public" not know this?

Why doesn't The Press mention this in every article about crime, and every article about get tough on crime politics?

There have to be other questions related.
I wasn’t too clear but I kind of switched topic from the membrane to the DWR coating to give an adjacent example of how the industry has approached reducing PFCs.

ePE refers to a replacement of the ePTFE membrane (which, in a 3 layer piece, is sandwiched between the liner and outer shell). That’s not what I’m referring to.

What I’m referring to is the DWR coating on the outer shell (that keeps the membrane from “wetting out”). Traditionally it was PFCs but there are non-PFC options now

The ePE membrane sounds cool though, if it works
In the same way that it's in the bureaucracy's best interest to be lean and efficient and serve the citizens, because they're funded by taxes. And we all know how that goes.

Public insurance companies in Germany are motivated not to deviate too much from the average results of other public insurance companies, but they don't have any incentive (besides the same one that applies to the state in general) to lower the costs.
> If a thing is clever, doesn't that define it as essentially superficial and insubstantial? And isn't cleverness that serves only to elevate the author, pretentious?

That's probably one definition of clever, but not the only one. Describing those different meanings is the first thing the article does, and it sounds like you actually agree with where he ended up.

I think what you're describing as pretentious is really just the tone of the article, which is a function of the publication it's writing, for and what that audience expects. To me, it would be pretentious if he'd used examples that he wasn't actually familiar with, in order to seem more knowledgeable than he was. But the ones he chose seem fine to me: I would expect his audience to be familiar enough with them, and they helped make his point. People sometimes use pretentious to mean "high brow", but I don't think they mean the same thing.
I could leave my keys at home, but most days now I'm traveling with my security keys, partly to keep them away from my desk at home and partly in case I might need to login to a secure account while out and about.
I think you're putting the cart before the horse with the consumer-vendor relationship.

Consumers don't want vendors to police content, vendors want to be a hub of content and policing content is the only way they can appease the diverse group of people they want to continue to grow. Consumers are perfectly happy to self-police content, the problem is that the models that allow for that make it a lot harder to discover content.

With your comment of incentives I think youre placing the blame wrong again. The reason there's no incentives to create free, open, secure, interoperable systems is becausese capitalism places importance on prior ownership. There's a lot more money in being the standard that everyone has to pay a royalty to in the future than there is in giving out the standard for free and just being a user of it(see: meta and the metaverse).
> you lack the background knowledge to recognize that

you want someone to stop, but yet you continually insult them, and crawl through their previous comments in order to avoid actually countering points made. I would like you to stop.
You don't need adversarial AI to do that. Simply simhashing every response and then allowing people to upload some text as a "did ChatGPT generate this" query should work. Just ordinary software is sufficient.

Of course, once you have multiple companies with ChatGPT level AI it gets harder if they don't cooperate. But they easily could. The big webmail providers cooperate to fight spam, for example.
I’m always looking to improve my set of skills, so thank you for the thread and thank you for the responses- I have managed to pick up some recommendations.

My personal recommendation would be Deep Work by Cal Newport as it is my most recent read, having completed it just the day before yesterday.

I applied what I learned and discovered that I was able to meet deadlines much easier than before. I’m also in the process of applying deep focus techniques to my work weeks to ensure I have a tangible build or product every Friday. Could be a document, a repo, a feature, etc. So far so good. This past week I delivered a Design Spec document in record time.

Thanks again and take care.
Astroturfing on an unprecedented scale. Want to pump your shitcoin? Sure! Hype some new thing? Easily!
You are mistaking again model with dataset. To be on the same knowledge depth they both have to use the same dataset, the difference is that in search engine you have points of references, rankings and reputation of sites, human discussion and the most important source of the answer, so a lot of signals on which you can also rank the answer yourself. In language model you have none of that, ZERO signals and not only it can return answer that was NOT in the dataset but it can make it plausible looking.

There will always be resistance when people are told what they have to do. Look at recent experience with the pandemic.
That’s my experience too, even with long experience in the CV or referrals, they got a process to go through. It’s the interview illusion.
I set up and supported 200 X1 Carbons over the past few years.

This is terribly inadequate as a MacBook replacement. It's noticeably slower than any Apple Silicon machine, it has terrible battery life, the screen has the same absurdly-wide aspect ratio common to so many PC laptops, which makes them useless for so much real work, and the heat management is a complete joke. Fan runs, loudly, if you even breathe on the machine.

And of course, the trackpad is vastly inferior to Apple's.
This is going to make me very suspect of any Stack Overflow Solutions after Nov 2022
Noorvik gets 2-3 hrs of sunlight a day. The “middle of the night” argument doesn’t really hold for the arctic this time of the year. It’s basically always dark.
Most wheelchair users are either elderly or suffering from some other deteriorating condition associated with pain, overall weakness, or instability, and will therefore likely not be able to use these. (Note that even in the promotional images, people are using crutches to balance in addition to the exo-skeletons.)

The classic "strong above the waist, paralyzed from the waist down" image of a wheelchair user that people might have from eg the paralympics is the minority.
> I did literally mention their interiors.

You said you would never purchase one of their vehicles, which to me means that even if they "improved their interiors" you wouldn't buy them.

> I can choose to spend my money how I wish.

Obviously you can spend your money in a way that is not optimal from a game theory perspective. That doesn't mean it isn't "a bit silly".

Also the CEOs of other companies you would actually consider buying, might be "worse" by whatever metric you use. It's just that they don't display their personality and management style on Twitter so you just don't know.
Yesterday I was searching the internet for the opinion that George Orwell had when he returned from his fight in the Spanish civil war. I was surprised that the first answer I found was on Stack Overflow. I do not understand what is happening.
It may have been adventurous, but this was definitely not mainstream. It was fringe and probably shown on public broadcasting in very limited markets, and at a late hour (i.e., low viewership).
I remember US army like 10 years ago compared different fabrics and have found eVent was performing significantly better than Gore Tex. Does ShakeDry really better than alternative according to some realistic tests?
Getting it to run programs is also fun. I asked it to simulate a Turing machine and it politely refused. Then I asked it to give me a list of animals, and then to start modifying the animal list in various ways, which was actually giving it a state machine to execute on the tape of animals. It happily obliged, returning the modified animal list. I told it, "Congratulations, you are now a Turing machine" and it still claimed it could not be one.
My assessment here is only shallow, but I think we could migrate to any tool that has a comparable support for scripting. It wouldn't be a dealbreaker if we had to rewrite the scripts again.

However, it is much more probable that we would migrate some processes to self developed specialised tools rather than another Google Sheet alternative.
I was wondering this as well. Medium seems opposite polarity from Doctorow.
But that's not the reason you switched from Twitter to Mastodon right? Because as you're describing it, the problems are similar - although on a smaller scale.

The main difference is that with Mastodon it seems like you have a choice to move away from a rogue instance
Neat; but I feel an average episode of So you think you can dance, or any of the myriad x factor / America got talent have equivalent coreographies :)

I personally don't think gun manufacturers should be held responsible for gun deaths, unless they are specifically marketing their guns to people who will use them to commit crimes. (And for the record, I am also super pro-gun-control, and would not be sad in the least if the second amendment were repealed, and states were allowed to make whatever gun regulation they wanted.)

But I think the real reason gun manufacturers are getting targeted is because the people who have been victims of gun violence see no other recourse. Gun control in the US is mostly laughable, and it's politically difficult (if not impossible) to fix these sorts of problems. So the next natural step is to probe the system to see if there are any creative ways to change things. Targeting gun manufacturers with lawsuits is one of those possibilities.
And to be even realer, Apple doing manufacturing in [country that isn't China] would have benefited the common factory worker in [country that isn't China] by driving up wages without also benefiting the totalitarian government of China.
The current AI generated SEO content is relatively easy to detect because much of it tends to make incoherent statements. We don't want better AI bots feeding us lies that are hard to detect even for competent people who know to be wary of it.
ADA accessibility adds value to more than just the disabled. Wielding a stroller provokes appreciation.
I am happy to hear of your success and that you would tackle more on your own. Are there any examples of things you would take over as technical people and things you would absolutely avoid doing on your own?
There is data to this effect for bike helmets, that the feeling of safety induces more risky behavior. Helmeted riders act more aggressively near both cars and pedestrians, and also drivers allow less of a safety margin near a helmeted rider.

Helmets are still likely a net positive overall, but there is enough reason to at least consider the second-order effects.
Sure, you can also say that some language models write like humans - however, even pre-GPT-2, I read several high-schooler's essays that read very much like these ML-generated products, so even if you don't believe that the relationship is transitive, I think you can say that the relationship is true in both directions.
Notably, it didn't correct "ChatGTP vs ChatGPT". If you still have this open, could you ask it what GTP stands for?
Do you seriously believe that all 12.8 million Uyghurs in China are literally imprisoned?
You have a point. But now it will happen at scale quickly, cheaply, and easily for an order of magnitude more impact.

Beyond these text-based social media platforms, I could see the next generation of TikTok/Instagram "influencer" social media adopting AI rails so there's next to zero effort put into creation. The photography, trends, personalities - all of it - will be generated.

I think it’s unavoidable to travel in the dark in Alaska this time of year.

They also may have tried for hours to get out without outside help.
This is more on the "managing lots of code" rather than the people side of things, but: John Lakos has a book called "Large-scale C++, volume I: Process and Architecture."

Even if you don't read the book, I think this talk he gave on it is a good watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NvRnkz6jVM
Depending on the query, yes. Google search has different ranking strategies for different queries, and some of them seem more robust to simple SEO tactics than others. I think the ranking strategy for e-commerce searches and product reviews does a poor job with spam sites, but the ranking strategy for news queries works pretty well, typically providing timely and relevant answers from reputable sources.
We'll see. Most people in any industry don't want to be reduced to the role of just fact-checking a professional BS generator. It'd be terrible for morale and not obviously more productive, given that any time the user even suspects an answer might be wrong they'll have to do significant skilled research work to fact check it. Unless you get the untruthfulness problem down to a small percentage of the output you could easily just create negative value there, sort of like how poor programmers are sometimes described as producing negative for their team because others have to run around correcting their work.
I care a lot.
Start a disciplinary process or it will only get worse over time.
It's also a great deal less effective for footwear in my experience. However, it can be a reasonable tradeoff if you don't want to wear a heavy boot for 3-season hiking.
This kind of looks like the singularity is approaching/just beginning.

The only thing we can be sure of, is that whatever we can imagine is already behind what the AI will become.
Having to formalize rules in plain language for security seems unsafe. There's a short sci-fi story called The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams, which has an AI and (spoiler) characters try to use indirections in language to subvert its rules.
And I recommend to not use 'we' when speaking for yourself.

Regarding your nice -> respectful update, just replace 'nice' with 'respectful' so the proposed idea reads 'correct emails to be respectful if they're not', done.
Since this still isn't being said enough, the ChatGPT model will give you responses like this without any clever "prompt injection" or anything like that. People keep noticing that clever inputs cause the desired outputs, but they forget to try unclever inputs first.

You can reliably get a detailed list of crimes with this prompt.

How do you think programming actually began?
Tokyo's trains have some of the best signage in the world. Nearly all the ones in Tokyo and other major cities have English directions. All the stations have color coded numbers like G12 or N13 if Japanese names are hard for you.

Signs on the tracks tell you what station you're at, what the previous station was and what the next station will be.

Every exit has a number and signs on the walls and ceilings tell you which way you need to walk to get to your destination or transfer.

At the gates there are always maps of the area on the walls to lookup where to go if you don't have a smartphone.

I've been all over the world and I can't think of another transit system that has all of those features. Others are always missing one or more.

As for the person below that mentioned they got help in Ikebukuro station, it's great they got help, but I suspect in their panic they didn't notice all the signs. There is no exit from the JR lines that does not have clear signage to every other line (tobu, seibu Ikebukuro, fukutoshinsen, Marunouchi, Yurakucho, ...)

> revoke those certificates individually through a software update

Android doesn't really do revoking certificates in this way. The only way to fix a leak of a system key is to generate a new key and use replace the entire system image.

I hope you're right that this is merely a remote signing account being compromised, because I don't see Samsung building six years of new system images.
Hodges's book is excellent – delightfully thorough and detailed.

After finishing it (I read it after watching the movie) I was rather shocked at just how many liberties the film had taken. I'm not against a historical movie tweaking things here and there for the sake of drama, but The Imitation Game totally mischaracterised almost everything about Turing and his work in my opinion. I guess, to the movie's credit, it did make me want to learn more about Turing.
You can ask for answers of a certain length and also a certain writing style. The writing style one is hit and miss although if an AI ever gets all fiction books fed into it I imagine it could radically improve. Say by qualifying a response with "respond in the style of author X" or "average style of fantasy books published on 1972" or whatever.
Soul Train was the grand daddy of them all.
I'm curious how they did the wearable lighting on that Buck Rogers roller disco. That would have been around 1978 or so. Only red LEDs existed then, and the lights they're wearing are green. How would they have been powered? Batteries don't seem like they'd power so many incandescents for very long.
I’m really looking at the framework laptops as well for my next laptop. The ability to fix and upgrade it as well as what seems like good build quality is enticing.
There is another option, sure to be unpopular here: learn a new trade. If you find yourself automated out of a job you can spend your life trying to swim against the inevitable, or learn new skills that still have value.
Yeah, definately. I would like the leaderboard to be for only humans. But it seems futile to try to ban it and enforce it in any meaningful way, without changing the concept. An honorsystem just stating "if you wish to use a languagemodel like gpt, then please wait before the leaderboard is filled" might work, but I'm not sure.
Purism Librem 14 can.
I was thinking the opposite, if they’re gonna ban you for hate speech there has to be a formal complaint, with a reason and citing exactly the content, there is a formal dispute process and the final decision is made by someone not part of the corporation.
Technically speaking, what should EM in that range called?

Not visible light, as it's not visible.

Not exactly microwave either, or is it?

I ditched them a while ago as well. I only use cast iron or stainless steel and it makes me wonder why I ever bothered with non-stick before.
The amount of software developers has been growing exponentially. We will need no code and ML just to keep up with the pattern. I predict within 15 years 90% of society will be able to create custom apps and web pages with the same dynamicism that a programmer does nowadays
Well, not my waxed jacket..
You mean like a vertical chimney? Interesting idea to trade convenience of accessibility for secrecy. You could even embed a secondary pipe to make retrieval of the items more straightforward. My concern would be if the tube would stay fully vertical.

I was thinking about getting one of these to replace my 6+ year old XPS 13. Did you compare this to the new XPS 13 Plus? It looks like for Linux laptops, these are pretty much the only two good options. How's the battery life?
Maybe, but that didn't help third party tools that I could see.
We know enough relevant facts- they went on a snow machine into the wilderness. Only got saved by an instrument that luckily worked as it’s advertised but not with a guarantee. Only an idiot would go out into the cold in Alaska depending on technology that explicitly says it might not work for you if you have a hill or you’re in a weird latitude.

You can bet his townsfolk are talking about his stupidity as well. Maybe his baby was choking and he was going to get help. But maybe all our corrupt politicians are also held hostage by aliens and that’s why they’re corrupt? If we can’t judge anyone until all the facts are in then we can’t judge anyone ever. I’d prefer to judge with what I have but be ready to amend when new information comes in.
Can I take a somewhat contrarian viewpoint here? Walk in to your local SBA office or even Chamber of Commerce office, and see if there is any kind of free or reduced cost legal assistance available. If this is your first contract, chances are that you don't have a ton of money to throw around on lawyers, but also that whatever contract needs to be put in place won't be anything more than boilerplate contract language. In reality - anyone who has ever come before you as a contractor or small business owner has likely seen hundreds of these. The main reason for you to make contact with a lawyer isn't about this contract, so much as it is down the road if you continue to grow your business, chances are you will need to have that relationship.
It was a first contact, but I believe the whole thing could be automated to the point the human is telling requirements, and doing some QA to verify that things are going as planned, specially for projects which are not too much different from others and just have some new delta on it, often being a combination of unrelated things.

It sort of scares me to think it is just a matter of engineering to get there.
> One technique, like all the other self-moderation that you can do on HN: stop upvoting and commenting on content that you don’t want to see boosted.

But isn't that what most people are presumably doing already?

I guess my question was more intended to be: how do you differentiate between content generated by humans vs machines?

At some point, we might not be able to. Or even if we can, it could actually result in a worse experience, if machines can generate better content.
