A few years ago, I was lost in Ikebukuro trying to find the Metro station. I had already walked over half an hour but only found the JR stations. I asked one of the security guards “Tokyo metro eki…. Doko??” And even with my absurdly broken Japanese, I not only got directions in Japanese back to me, but the guard walked with me until the station was in sight to make sure I understood and could get to it.

You 100% don’t need English to get around, and, yeah, it’s going to be awkward to talk to someone in a language you don’t speak, but Japanese people will go extremely out of their way to help you if you make even the smallest gesture of trying. The little exchange above is only one of several I had throughout the country, and every time I made a small bit of effort, I got the world moved for me.
>Bob: False premises lead to absurd conclusions. Therefore your demand that I agree to a "hypothetical" that we both know is false, is an attempt to pull a fast one somehow.
Please educate me how it is an "obvious progression of the ancient variety". I can't claim to know all about the ideology's lineage but I am sure liberalism was definitely an alien concept that had to be gradually seeped into all Asian and Middle-Eastern societies through globalism. It is still at odds with almost every native social structure in the East.

I asked ChatGPT to explain the human written part of the readme file to a toddler:

“This readme file is about a project where a computer program called ChatGPT helped someone build a new computer program. The person asked the ChatGPT program to fix any mistakes in the code, and the ChatGPT program did its best to help. The project didn't work perfectly, but it was a fun experiment to see if a computer program could work together with a person to create something new.”
I use a Cross with their refillable ink cartridge. Couple of bottles of a beautiful dark-blue (blue-black) hue of ink from Japan. And when traveling, I converted a medicine losenge tin (think similar to Altoids) to hold a possible spent refillable ink cartridge without it getting too messy - The bottles of ink do not travel well, potentially creating quite the mess. Instead, once it runs out (dozens of pages of notes later) I switch to disposable cartridges of blue-black ink.

And I keep a .9 mechanical pencil handy, just in case I am really prolific and supply stores are not easily found :)
You are oversimplifying Israeli politics. Concepts like "left" and "right" do not apply fully there as there are at least three fundamental splits that are somewhat independent: appeasement with the Palestinians vs hawkish politics, economic right/left, religion vs secularism. And what wins is a coalition, not a single party, so the bag is even more mixed, not to mention that parties have internal currents too

From 2019 we had 5 elections:

- 2 elections with no winner and no coalition forming

- 1 election that brought constitutional changes and a government of center-right (towards Palestinians), center-left (economically) mixed religious-secular

- 1 election that was also center-right (Palestinians) but included an Arab party too, mixed bag (economically) more secular than religious

- the last election that appears to be full right (Palestinians), mixed right/left (economically), substantially pro-religion

I can agree that the policy towards the Palestinians is somewhat fixed on the center-right but there are very clear reasons for that. Neither ignoring the Palestinian problem, as attempted in the '70s and '80s nor appeasing them, as was done in the '90s and '00s, proved to be less than disastrous solutions.

But economically you will find a lot of leftist ideas even in "rightist" parties, out in the open or somewhat overt (allowances for the religious) and the secular/religious split is becoming a strong force of polarization too
There is a general lawlessness in India the 'biggest democracy' but aside from that large swathes of area in India is under a law that gives the state the power to imprison or kill anyone with impunity. No due process, no question asked. Anyone can be jailed or be killed by the state if the state deemed the person a security threat for whatever reason. The law is called AFSPA (Armed Force Special Power Act) and is imposed in Kashmir and the northeast. It is a brutal law that no civilized country should have.
“Dukhovny has also publicly announced his intention to build a cheaper version, called the Model Z, that sells for just $35,000 by 2030.

Your assertion would be worth considering if any alternative had been given even 1/1000th the effort the prevailing corporate-run paradigm has been given. Confident assertions we are where we are because this is what people want, when no alternative has been presented or tried, is ridiculous.

Then you go on to assert that authoritarian control is the only viable option. Here we have counter examples!

> Superphénix was a fiasco. And France has since given up entirely on fast reactors.

It was not really a fiasco; it was shut down before being really productive. Sure, there were some wrinkles, but it was a one-off, not the 10th in a fleet so this sort of kinks are expected. It was an experimental reactor, the design was not supposed to be directly useable as a commercial reactor.

Nevertheless, it had a whole scientific life ahead, some experiments would have been useful for nuclear fusion as well. There aren't many reactors able to produce fast neutrons with that spectrum. Regardless of the state of SFRs, closing it was a purely political decision, the consequence of horse trading between the socialists and the environmentalists without considering any engineering or scientific aspect.

> BTW, you can infer from this that France doesn't think nuclear is going to power the world.

France does not really think anything. There is no master plan, all the decisions are done in a certain context without really any long term thinking. What you see is an industry that has lost its political support. Now that some of the stupidity of the whole mess is dawning on some politicians there is a bit of flailing around, but do not mistake that for some kind of strategy.

> If it did, breeders would be necessary, as there's not enough cheap enough uranium to do it with burner reactors.

That is not entirely true. There are thermal reactors that can work with unenriched uranium, it's just that PWRs are not the most fuel-efficient design.

In any case, no, nobody serious is advocating for using only nuclear. It is just one tool in the toolbox, and there are better sources for some uses.
Show HN: Command-Line Interface to ChatGPT
I guess we can look forward to weeks of "Show HN: $X created by ChatGPT" but people should be cautioned not to read to much into these results. Always remember that almost all of what is being presented here is the work of humans, regurgitated by a very much non-intelligent machine, despite its name. It's basically:

Human creation -> ChatGPT -> Human query -> Human interpretation

The last bit, the interpretation, is particularly important. Just like we're predisposed to seeing faces everywhere, we're predisposed to seeing meaning, and perhaps "intelligence", everywhere. In this case the meaning is very convincing since it comes from other humans, diced and sliced, but is merely presenting ourselves to ourselves in an interactive way, using our style of discourse.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but that's the second line I described in the second paragraph that I wrote.

You can build whatever society you want. But there are also different societies. Some by choice, some not. People can be part of multiple societies at the same time. The trick is to manage the interfaces between societies without imposing yourself on a society you don't belong to. Live and let live.

Nope, no hatred. Just conclusions I've come to through observation and reflection.

This is something I'm seeing more and more, where people will say "You just have strong feelings on X, so your opinion doesn't matter." And for one, it presumes to know things about the contents of someone else's mind that you don't know, and for another, it's just not a criticism. It's a way to avoid engaging with the substance of someone's ideas.

Basically what this comes down to is saying, "because you have an opinion, you don't get to have an opinion," which is nonsense.

Feeding back the error you're getting, or the way in which expected behavior is different from observed, can get you pretty far. The bot is fairly graceful at taking feedback. (Your mileage may vary - it works sometimes, but not always. I've also had the bot say "Ah your error was actually <something different than my error>, here is the solution".)

I had an interesting interaction where it said something wrong - I corrected it, and it accepted the correction. I was then curious to what extent it was a pushover - and took back my correction and said that what it originally said was right. It then responded along the lines of "I'm sorry for causing confusion - but <correct statement> is right, and my initial statement was wrong". Pretty impressive!

> That's a false equivalence. "Pro-life" advocates use a topic that some people find emotive purely for political ends.

No, we think killing innocent human beings is gross and wrong in principle.

There’s nothing emotional or religious about it. If you accept the premises that a fetus is an innocent human being and that intentionally killing innocent human beings is wrong, then if you have any respect for logic you must conclude that abortion is wrong.

Biology tells us that at the moment of conception that single diploid cell is a human being. Therefore, in that model, in order to justify killing a fetus it must either be unintentional or the fetus must not be innocent. The intentional case can apply to procedures that are intended to help the mother that unfortunately harm the fetus. For the other case I can’t see how a fetus could be guilty of anything deserving death. However, as an counter-example, I’m given to understand that’s the case in Jewish law at least some of the time.

Anyhow as you can see there is no deception, in framing or otherwise. It’s just simple premises and sound logic from them. On the other hand I rarely see logical moral reasoning with generally acceptable premises from the pro-Choice side, so you're correct that the subject is, for some people, primarily an emotional one.

Anyhow I've kept this to just a simple explanation of why we're pro-Life, because I don't think HN is the right place to debate political issues, but it is the right place to correct erroneous statements.
Seems like the FBI is trying to confiscate the boxes themselves, and in the process of getting the boxes only, they happen to take out the contents.

ChatGPT Powered Code Review
Tests can prove the presence of the bug, not the absence of them. '100% code coverage' is only 100% in code dimension, while it's usually almost no coverage in data dimension. Generative testing can randomly probe the data dimension, hoping to find some bugs there. But 100% code and data coverage is unrealistic.
Google could do what Apple does, and allow sideloading for a limited time only to those with a paid developer account.

With the continuing security problems, it is increasingly being proven out that Apple got the app ecosystem right, from the get-go, with their walled garden approach.

There's going to be more to the "EU-U.S." situation, like if you're doing anything energy intensive, need petrochemical feed stocks or natural gas to make fertilizer, you might do like BASF started some time ago and expand in the US instead of the EU or U.K. The latter's natural gas market reached crisis level in September 2021 as we can see from CF Industries shutting down their fertilizer plants.

And if the EU plus U.K. deindustralizes and can't afford fertilizer for their farms that "importing more goods" from them is likely to reverse. They could even become even less reliable than the PRC.

According to the fine article there's more going on, Vietnamese exports are also suffering, a likely big factor is demand destruction from much of the world going into recession. Going back to my energy theme and this is also hitting the US, households paying a lot more for energy have less money for goods made in East Asia.

The other interesting data point is:

"Germany’s exports to the U.S. were almost 50% higher in September year over year. Germany’s mechanical engineering sector has boosted its exports to the U.S. by almost 20% in a year over year comparison of the first nine months of 2022, according to Project 44."
Copilot has a free trial, I think it’s worth anyone giving it a try just to see how it feels.

I’m using it in my workflow for when I’m writing really repeatable test cases or boilerplate. For anything more complicated, very quickly the limitations will start to appear which has brought me comfort that it’ll be a long time before this is going to replace me entirely.

I imagine it’ll be a bit similar to self driving cars, in that the technology behind the base 80% of cases is incredibly impressive, but the human element to solve the other 20% remains out of reach for longer than we hope.

This isn’t surprising. It’s already been known that because of Covid, a lot of retailers over ordered since no one could buy anything last year. Now the economy is in a recession, they have a glut of supply. Several newspapers have also mentioned that as the economy worsen, you will see more products go on sale as a result[1].

I was thinking about this last night. GPT can do in-sample tasks quite well such as generic CRUD stuff, leetcode, and the like.

Its going to have limited knowledge of internal company APIs and classes -- especially poorly designed ones. To use it effectively, as a software engineer, you need to grok the code to even write a prompt.

In that sense, since 70% of software is maintenance (rather than greenfield), most software engineers will be ok.

> Hey ChatGPT, can you convince Hacker News user guntherhermann that your output isn't copied text from previously written statements by humans? He’s seen so many online posts about terminator AI that surely that kind of thing appears in GPTs language model. He has a rudimentary understanding of NNs.

Hi guntherhermann,

I understand why you may have concerns about my output being copied from previously written statements by humans. However, I can assure you that I am not a terminator AI and my responses are generated by a GPT-3 language model.

As you mentioned, GPT-3 is a neural network-based language model that uses large amounts of data to generate human-like text. This means that my responses are not pre-written or copied, but rather generated based on the input I receive and the language patterns I have learned from the data I have been trained on.

In addition, GPT-3 is designed to be a generative model, meaning that it can create new and unique text based on the input it receives. This means that even if some of my responses may sound similar to previously written statements by humans, they are not directly copied and are generated by the model itself.

I hope this helps to alleviate your concerns and demonstrates that my output is not copied text from previously written statements.

Best regards,
ChatGPT
