yeah I agree with this and I think there's some broader truth here that also applies to other art forms where the real value is not in the unveiling of a storyline or whatever, but in the detail in the journey along the way.

Actually this might be one definition of a great book / film / series etc - that it can't truly have 'spoilers' because the key facts of the plot is not the point.
What you use on Mac for window management? Recently switched from Linux Mint Cinnamon, default window management feels like a downgrade, maybe I’m holding it wrong?
It depends what's the purpose behind what you do. Writing software is a fun and creative puzzle solving process, AI will never replace that. It's the same with all AI generated content. It's impressive to see, but if you create things because you like doing so, AI can't steal that from you. It can be one of the many tools that helps creating things though and as such it can have an impact more on the business side.

That take is just... wild.

I've been following this space intently for two decades. The past couple years have seen revolutionary, fantastical advances. Obsidian 1.0 like just came out in September of this year! A huge milestone, but with Logseq chasing them and seeming only a months behind them (and more open source to boot).

Even the slow, web-bound proprietary dinosaurs they are replacing — Notion, Roam, etc — are only a few years old, and in their time (which is now over) those represented huge advances over clunky Evernote, OneNote, and their ilk.

All building on the shoulders of ancient, more limited tools like nvAlt, VoodooPad, Tiddlywiki, etc etc etc.

We're right on the cusp of having a bunch of choices that can help manage all your notes, including your own and your collections of other people's, with images and video and audio and PDF etc, storing it all in non-proprietary open formats, on your own infrastructure (if you want, or cloud if you prefer), with familiar and easy GUI clients for all your devices, that stay synchronized whether you prefer to pay to make that easy or prefer to leverage the open standards and do it all yourself... and we're just getting started with the potential integrations and do-it-yourself add-ons that are enabled by the basis in common/open standards.

I think has been and continues to be one of the most interesting spaces in all of computing. (Sure GPT-3 and friends are interesting, but emerging solutions in this space are also useful, and to a huge number of people to boot.)
if something seems odd or nonsensical (contextually), it's usually not a coincidence.
How do you fight a totalitarian from the inside, eg USA, EU, where surveillance is high and any opposition will be ‘disappeared’?
Yeah, I think it's a scenario where you can probably sue and you can probably win - but then (just like in the US) you're known as the person that sues their employer and it's a black mark.

I haven't heard of people getting lawsuits about 996 thrown out in China - but to be fair I also haven't heard of people suing over that either.
But many many other people won't, or can't.

And there will be companies offering the product for free in order to grab that market share and steal users from the paying ones.

That's how the internet companies strived since ~1998

I feel in this type of games, your only opponent should really be yourself and I'm not really sure why what other people you don't know are doing should matter.
Yeah, that's my plan for the weekend. I'm currently working on a minimal Lisp implementation written in Rust, step 2 is to compile the thing into a free-standing UEFI binary, and give it the ability to execute machine code.

The final goal is something akin to DOS, but the prompt is a Lisp that has access to the entire machine at full privileges and complete control over the hardware. I'm also exploring how to make it possible to rewrite the most core functions from the Lisp environment, so I could, for example, replace a naive "eval" function with native code after boot.

What can you build with the most minimal "operating system" paired the most meta-programmable environment? My dream is to add a simple display, keyboard and have this run on a RISC-V SoC, that simply boots with the prompt:

"> "

Omega-3 supplements don't provide as much benefits as it claimed on the internet
It is, but maybe it is simply imitating tutorials where "cat file.txt" writes the same content that was on the same page in a command "echo text > file.txt" above.

In other words, language models are really good at impersonating whatever you want them to be through clever tricks, without being it.
Thank you for this context, that is interesting.
It’d be great if people could stop pretending there’s “right” and “wrong”. The EU and the US governments don’t care that people die, they don’t impose sanctions because of that. Like, nobody sanctioned the US for invading other countries.

So, you’re either against all the wars, or you’re a hypocrite. There was no reason for Azerbaijan to restart the Karabakh conflict. But MasterCard and Visa still work in Baku.

Not saying that what’s happening in Ukraine is good, but let’s not pretend. According the to the West, there’re “good” and “bad” wars.
Very unlikely.

I tested with curl ipconfig.co, and pings to targets close and far away with similar responses.

Well let’s say UPS then. When I send a document through UPS, should they take some responsibility for the truthfulness of its contents…? That’s just a very weird way to organize society…
I think that’s probably their intent, and that OpenAI wouldn’t sue you for it, but it doesn’t pass the “bought by Oracle” test: if Oracle bought OpenAI, then they might sue you for it.
I really enjoy the slow, methodical questioning of the hustle culture. People are realising that chasing metrics won't make them better or happier.

Lots of stuff about Germanic people's ethnic destiny to rule the world, then how people found that problematic after world war II then a weird genetics has proved the woke wrong finale without ever really stating a case clearly.

Particularly weird is the treatment of the Normans, who are treated as non-germanic interlopers, barely worth mentioning except as a foil to the noble anglo-saxons.

Hahah, the author seems to be very well aware of the trolley trap and actually makes the same joke in the book while also spending pages on exploring various trolley scenarios. So I'm not sure how to answer your question :D
> But what's the solution? I think it's just a result of having a large org.

Right. Maybe Elon's approach is correct, and all these layoffs are a chance for companies to trim the fat and focus on what matters.

We're only now realizing the bubble the tech industry was in, and that pursuing endless growth is not sustainable.

> But when risk appetite is high and the company can afford to throw money at experiments, it makes sense to still pay for the rest of the 80%.

Does it, though? You're paying for full-time engineers to work on bets that might be completely misaligned even if they succeed, which also might be unlikely. And this makes up the majority of your company? It sounds ludicrous in any market.
Iran abolishes morality police
I want to believe that, but France has already recommissioned a coal fired plant. Falling back on coal will delay and exacerbate the pain of the energy transformation. I am an American at a young hip company in the EU and people here only pay lip service to the energy transition. People will keep declaring climate change someone else's problem until they are starving or freezing. If you are in the USA do NOT pin your hopes on the EU leading the way.

I typed in the prompt almost word for word and it still works for me.

No need for checking out imaginary git repositories, I asked it to write a program in language x, and it provides an answer that does as it says - despite some beginner level bugs.
Thank you. This a useful list.

> 2. A decent widget showing your streak of not breaking the chain.

It'll come. I initially wanted to focus on the core experience and remove tracking friction.

> 3. Timers for each habit item, which then allows you to mark as complete to auto start the next habit and timer, or pause if one is taking a little longer.

Interesting. It's the first time I come across timers for habits. How long have you been using timers? I'd love to hear if the timers stick around for you after a few months of tracking.

> 4. Syncs to multiple devices - watch, iPad, phone, etc. I see you can export out of the app but syncing would be helpful.

This one is currently supported by Flat Habits, though purposely hidden until it can be exposed more seamlessly. If you want to try it, first export to a location outside the app (maybe Documents directory?). Then import and select "in-place". Import from your iPad "in-place" also and you get the two syncing.

> 5. As someone noted in another comment: A way to export and/or print a habit tracker so as to get away from the phone and tech and only come back to log it on the device, should I choose to and snap a quick photo that gets OCR’ed to update the app stats. Maybe a pocketmod.com format could work?

Interesting idea, speciallyl using OCR to feed back into the app.
> As far as I know, the merchant always bears the full liability for fraud, whether you use 3ds or not.

This is very much untrue. If a merchant initiates the 3DS flow, liability for fraudulent transactions shifts from the merchant onto the issuer. Here's documentation from Stripe[1] on the matrix of possible flows and the resulting liability shift, and docs from Adyen[2] on card networks that support liability shifting with 3DS.

My biggest problems are obscure bugs that I would hardly understand even if the AI would just give me the workaround.
Oh boy, I've never been so excited about the world we're about to see
It is a downgrade, but it's a conscious trade-off for me. I've been fine with that for the last 14 years. I switched to the Mac to get a mostly adequate environment that I wouldn't be tempted to hack.

The thing I actually care about is navigating between windows by typing something that gets autocompleted. Spotlight or Alfred get me mostly there. In chrome I use Powerswitch to navigate between windows, and there's Cmd K for Slack. Having one interface for those would be grand, but I'm not holding my breath.
One might call this the "turminal test", where a person needs to figure out if they're using a linux terminal or a superinteligent AI that's merely pretending to be a linux terminal lol. What a time to be alive.
Looks so good. Is it compatible with Neovim?

Thanks for sharing!
And one that's usually not done by Apple or Samsung, but by contract-manufacturers like Foxconn. Both Apple and Samsung use Foxconn. The "iphone factories" aren't Apple-factories, they're Foxconn factories which currently produce iphones but will produce Samsung galaxy phones if iphone production moves.

It's a "companies use Chinese as-close-to-slave-labor-as-you-can-get-without-being-called-out-labor" thing, not a "naive Western company finds out how things work in China" thing.
It is not the law or the occasional protection. It is when it is not working, the threat as experienced by local that is the issue. Not to mention the overall issue of human suppression. It is not helping by producing and buying china.

Anyway, I think they moved is not because of this though. More because the unstable situation. And the invasion of Taiwan is inevitable. I will do it if I am in power. Not because I want to but I have to. That is the problem.

And if that happened, what you do. Like German or EU on Russia oil.

What I would rather know is where the entire supply chain is. What countries contribute what percentage of the finished product? You can claim "made in X" if the final assembly is there, even if 90% of the value add is in the supply chain not located in X.

No idea how much openai's computational cost is per query. Unless it's an order of magnitude higher than google's, we can assume the next thing after yahoo -> altavista -> google is here.

> I think the next years are going to be renewables heavy in all of Europe

Maybe, but hopefully not or then global outage must be expected when sun/wind goes down... Random energy production is no subsidy

The problem is France, *not* nuclear, hopefully people understands this: (among) strictest quarantine in the world, no work for many months, social unrest and protests, bad planing ... there would be a lot to say to each of these points, but they all are responsible to the current situation we are seeing with NPP still in maintenance.
I’ve seen people from Kherson and Mariupol in a filtration center recently. I can’t even pretend to imagine what they’re going through. There was an expression of deep trauma on their faces. It’s truly tragic.

But you can’t deny no diplomatic attempts were made to prevent the conflict by either party. I’m not putting all the blame on one side, that’s a gross oversimplification.
Your experience seems very different from what several international human rights organisations have been reporting for the past two decades.

> Truth is, there is no way to profitably produce any durable consumer products without dealing with someone who treats workers like trash, simply because everyone else is also doing this

In some cases that's true, but in the case of Apple - the one with higher cost "luxury" products, double digit percent profit margins, tens of billions of cash and trillion dollar market cap - it doesn't really make sense as an excuse.
Can you get into a silent meditation retreat?

I just got out of one, and all the things I learned about myself, and how I relate to my emotions has been fascinating.
But can you ascertain that similar dynamics won't also come into play for software? Yes, software is easier to deploy and test at scale - there are barely any physical constraints compared to driving. But on the other hand it's also a more complex domain than driving.

Taking Advent of Code as an example, GPT seems to be making mince meat of some problems, but it struggles with others.

Is it not conceivable that in software there will be a "last 10%" where AI will trip up, either because the inputs (prompts/requirements) are hard to express or parse, or the output (code) is hard to generate?
There are all kinds of different jobs in tech, all kinds of technologies you could be working on, and all kinds of companies you could be working at. There are lots of companies that do really important work, and not just shoveling bullshit around.

It seems as if your current job isn't working for you. If I was you, I'd think about what does excite me and then see if I could pursue it. Find a new job, change careers. Obviously not gonna happen in an instance.
This isn't a new field -- there have been people who have now closed shop for longer than they were ever active. It's just the influx of a large number of interested people online that have discovered digital tech that's pushing people to make more of these interfaces. None of these organizational structures are inventive or the end-all -- they all use the same methods to store and organize data, the only difference is how well they reduce the friction required for data entry. There's nothing these systems do that couldn't have been replicated 20, 30 years ago. Really, they hardly ever move past the paper paradigm.

GPT-3 et al are a different thing though, and I reckon when they're good enough to be frictionless, the majority of people will stop taking notes altogether. The popularity of this field is solely based on how long it takes for people at OpenAI and others (Stability) to drive down costs to deliver ~1M words/mo to the average customer.

These will all go the way of the phonebook. There'll be "look how my model tears your markdown notes" contests.
What does this add to what I said?
Apple have the budget and the interest to investigate their supply chain and provide a good answer to this. Outside sources probably don't :/

My uninformed speculation would be that the answer is something like 90% China for each hop along the chain, but those accumulate. 0.9^n becomes small with large enough n, so depending on the viewpoint it might be majority non-China…
Focussed on omega 3 from animal sources. ALA is the form in flaxseed and the like, and is explicitly called out as not addressed.

A reasonable point is made indirectly that eating fish may be better than taking supplements. I suspect in part it's because of oxidation and substitution in concentrate.
Yeah considering that China for about 2000 years was the leading civilisation I'm not sure why people use that term.
For some reason, it is unable to solve this query. All code produced gives wrong results, and it didn't correct it when given clues:

Write a python program that efficiently computes the probability that a random permutation of r ones and w zeros contains k consecutive ones.
Huh, the prompt doesn't have contradictions.
I think we’re very close to the point where a lot of soft ware engineers will be unnecessary.

Within a decade, assuming progress continues this way, it should be possible to generate usable code from these tools which performs fairly complex tasks. One person could generate a prompted CLI from a spec in very little time for example.

This wouldn’t be an arduous task at the moment, but given the current contextual capacity of this AI, I suspect in a decade it will be able to fully comprehend something at the scale of a basic SaaS application.

I feel like we’re approaching a revolution. I suspect I will keep my job for a while yet, and once less skilled people are made obsolete I might hold on for a while longer. Without a doubt, I will be worth far less soon and I will do a lot of my work using AI.

All kinds of digital tasks will gradually be usurped by AI. It’s surreal. At first we won’t be able to compete with the quantity of acceptable output. Then we won’t be able to compete on quality of output, either.

These systems will absolutely begin teaching each other. Well, they already do! But they will become better at it, and we will become generally inferior in most digital tasks.

As digital to physical fabrication improves, even things like product design and electrical engineering will be taken over. Spec some kind of a circuit, have the AI design the PCB and fuzz test it in a simulation to ensure it’s resilient and sensible, send the PCB to a mostly-automated fabrication process, pick and place, etc…

Ugh. Weird times. Perhaps we all need to learn to leverage AI or become irrelevant.
Jailbreaking ChatGPT will never stop being fun, I love it :)
Simply, as a meta note / rational argument's sake ->

Let's assume X (Smith) makes statement S (X -> S). A few hundreds of years later, Y (Graeber) makes statement S' that refutes S and says Y -> S' and negates ~ (X -> S). Now what I'd expect is a Z, that counter-refutes Y. For example, Z -> S''. Instead, you're going back to saying yeah, we all know X -> S, so how can Y -> S' be ever true...

> I'm not really sure why what other people you don't know are doing should matter

Doesn't that exactly apply to your critisism of other peoples motives to compete with each other? specifically their desire to compete with other humans for fun, as opposed to humans copy and pasting machine output.
What made you think it does not exist?
If Apple want to exit China for geopolitical reason it should move to Vietnam. Western manufacturers have set up shops in India before and there were few successful stories and many have exit eventually. Ford for example exit India after not turning a profit for decades. When people point out India's problem it is the usual suspect like government red tapes, poor infrastructure, unreliable electric grid...etc. Some even blame India's problem on democracy, which is absurd. Germany is a democracy and is a manufacturing powerhouse. But the fundamental problem underlying all these is the average IQ of a nation. India's population average IQ is 82 and this is the fundamental reason why the workers productivity is so low. This is the elephant in the room that every manufacturer who want to set up shop in a foreign country should consider.
