2011 even, I found this talk from him on YouTube from then: https://youtu.be/HUEvRyemKSg
On the plus side, the article provides an explanation for why this is happening, with some detail.

On the minus side, the article seems to try to make some weird, more general point that is just scaremongering: "omg the sky is falling, sometimes components with hidden defects cause failure on a large scale years later".

The author also suggests this has never happened before, which is of course false. I guess they never heard of the "capacitor plague" cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague, which was a lot more serious.

> I haven't seen any componsation from AI learning off me. Have you?

No. AI to me is like basically like all technology. Lots of talk about how we will have a better life, be healthier, have more time to follow our passions, when the reality is more like we are more distracted, have superfluous human interactions, waste more of our (precious) time.

Technology, for me, is a tool of control. We have given up privacy, independence, opened ourselves up to distanced and automated control and sold our the future for a paycheck and an entertaining slave tracking device.
What happens if you point out those problems and ask it how it would solve them? Which is after all the courtesy we would extend a human in an interview.
Then, I will go a step further and ask the candidate if they have contributed any functioning code with code review in the open to other large existing open-source projects that are certainly not generated by ChatGPT. Examples such as Node,js, TypeScript, Rust, WebKit, Linux, etc.

Asking for an AI to generate code is one thing. Explaining the code you have contributed to large open-source projects and why you have done so is another and ChatGPT is quite bad at transparently explaining its own decisions and why it got to that solution in the first place.
Could you go into more details about the errors you encountered along the way?

I tried having ChatGPT do TDD to vectorize n-ary trees, but it made mistakes that indicated it didn't understand it's output:

- the expected vectors in the tests were the format it suggested for binary trees

- when asked to represent a vector
as a tree, produced one correct tree and another incorrect tree. (Correctness as determined by how it chose to encode a tree as a vector).

It took some iterations to get it to fix the tests, but I grew weary of coaching it through each of the problems as we encountered them. Maybe if I was at my keyboard rather than on my phone I could have had it complete the task quicker.

So, what errors did you encounter along the way? How did you overcome them?

Are the three types you refer to str/String, CStr/CString, and OsStr/OsString?

There are trade-offs associated with having multiple string types, but the alternative is worse. It's better to force the developer to handle these things up front than to have bugs down the line.

str/String being UTF-8 is great. Is means that the various standard library functions associated with them have well-defined behavior.

CStr/CString are necessary for FFI, but I wouldn't really say they're commonly used in std.

OsStr/OsString are necessary unless you think the standard library should automatically convert whatever random format the OS uses into UTF-8. Rust's decision to not treat everything like Unix is actually a good thing.

> For beginners, it’s impossible to write a common program for doing some basic string manipulation without reading 3/4 of the Rust book and waiting through dozens of compilation failures.

Personally, I think the standard library makes it pretty easy to learn how to convert between the types.
That "attribution of agency" is probably what brought us myths of human-like gods with human-like intelligence that control everything we didn't understand.

More of the same.

They're not even easier to fake. You could spread out these commits over time with each commit just being the next iteration from chatGPT. I'd bet sooner rather than later someone will offer this as a service.

Most first line screens/recruiters aren't going to do much more than skim code and aren't going to run it. Best case scenario now your recruiting pipeline is inflated with more poor candidates. Worst case scenario they're not one step closer to bamboozling their way to a job they're not qualified for.
In the wake of #Neurips2022, ChatGPT, Galactica, big funding rounds and geopolitics, here's what you need to know:
But your director has a mandate, and they will pass that down and force everyone to at least consider who on their team could be NI.
Yeah that’s more what I mean - the ones that take a shovel and dig a big hole in the wrong place. Then you have to fill in that hole AND dig the original one, and now you’re behind schedule.

Computation Warfare:
This kind of model could be used by a bad actor to generate endless sincere-looking codebases for things that of course don't actually work but are so complicated that it would take a skilled person to determine it was not code from a real codebase, but by the time that happens large numbers of repositories of code will flood github and the internet in general making it essentially impossible to train new LLM's on data after a certain calendar date, as large amounts of it will be cryptically incomplete.

This is similar to a dilemma proposed around images and image models like Dalle and StableDiffusion soon being responsible for the vast amount of image content online and thus future models could ingest said content, and we find ourselves in a weird feedback loop. With images, you could get interesting generational results (deep-dream-like) to a point.

With code or other information, I see nothing but things just being broken, and wading through broken code forever.
Thank you for elaborating. What you describe ads balance to my impression of the crypto world, and like that.

> at the time i just stashed my $ in BTC because it was the only place where i felt i understood the security model.

Makes perfect sense to me. It was something you could wrap your head around more easily.

I also like how you frame onramps, and how you talk about an iterative process.

Curious to see where it all will go.

As to my predictions, I am afraid I am a little pessimistic here.

I obviously know very little about crypto, so I cannot take those unknows into account.

What I do expect in a way is anything that threatens established power, be it monetary or political, to be treated as such: a threat. The more unregulated crypto is perceived as such, the more blowback I would expect. The more it gets regulated, the less useful in solving actual problems it might become, since it might simply become another expression of what now are our regulated currencies.

Does that make sense? Any thoughts?
BERT is a simple model that is not capable of answering questions in this manner. For very simple things it might help with that answer box at the top, but that's not what I meant.
Well, more peace seems like the key element there. I’d say that’s a form of enlightenment
Ask HN: If you started over with your business how would you save money?
I started a venture not so long ago and it's progressing in ways that I didn't think were possible this early on. We're bootstrapping it and there's no income yet but we're really close. Closer than I've ever been with something that is my original initiative/idea. Luckily, I've found a solid co-founder that believes in the idea as much as I do and has helped a ton. This was not an easy decision to make as a hard-headed engineer that prefers to go at problems on his own, but it was extremely worth it.

I'm on a journey to work through personal problems that have hindered me in the past, like being stingy/cheap, preferring to work alone, etc.., because I think that's what's going to bring us success. In this journey, however, I still have a mind for optimization and cost-saving but instead of doing it on my own, I'd like to ask those that have already been through this their opinions so that I can solve the problem more effectively.

I'm at a crossroads where we could continue to do things on our own or we could just break down and spend the money to hire the professionals we probably need to take this to the next level (more marketing/sales, another engineer or two, expensive legal sessions, guidance on other things related to our model, etc...). I just want to keep cost savings in mind as much as possible moving forward since my personal savings are what is driving this forward.

So how do we as an early stage bootstrapped startup save money while also needing to fill certain positions vital to our success? Is there a more elaborate solution than simply seeking funding or asking people to work for free? What positions have you hired for that you could have done yourself, or was there any? Any general things you could have done to save money if you had the chance to start over?

Some solutions I've already thrown out of the window are 1) trying to hire the cheapest labor possible. This is a bad idea for many reasons, and I refuse to participate in it. 2) continue to seek out unpaid founders. While I believe in our idea and am putting a lot on the line to make it happen, I can't expect others to do the same. I feel bad enough that my co-founder has been doing so much for free.

If I need to elaborate on anything to get better feedback, please let me know and I'll add edits here.
> Twitter is a public company ok?

(1) it is, in fact, not a public company, and

(2) it used to be a “public comoany” in the sense of “has shares traded on open stock markets rather than exclusively in individual off-market trades”, but that sense of “public” is still not a government actor covered by tbe restriction on the federal government in 1A or that on state governments in 14A. That is simply a different sense of the words “public” and “private” then is relevant here.
Don’t look at where we are now, look at the rate of improvement. I don’t think it’ll be long before it has an understanding of advanced mathematics.
As I had to take a train I just wrote the top lines in the README and pushed it and I am still in the train so there is not much I can do about it.
I've found DevOps to be a human issue first and foremost. It's sometimes hard to communicate to non-technical folks or less experienced software engineers how important it is. ChatGPT3 can give you bits and pieces of DevOps infra, but plugging it in, and getting human buy-in is a task indeed

Analytics tends to drive people to boost "time on page" even when SEO isn't in the equation. 'Cause frustration == engagement.
It seems that encouraging this would have to start at a very young age, in elementary school. Parents may not have the capability (cognitive ability) or time to instill this kind of thinking in their kids.

However, school is usually a place where authority, hierarchy, and group-think is reinforced rather than questioned. I can't see schools encouraging kids to do thought experiments like "Let's say your parents don't like it that a boy wants to have a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend. Instead of you just believing whatever your parents say, let's talk about why they believe that, how they might be getting it wrong, and why it's okay if you don't agree with them." Actually, some schools are trying that, with the predictable backlash from parents and others in the local community.
As said… I had to take a train so I rushed typed the top lines and pushed it.
So a slicker variation on basic SEO/engagement tricks, like asking "Are cats better than dogs?"

My other observation: it seems to be straying into vaguely politically-themed topics. Maybe that's also a byproduct of our algorithm-driven age: that charged topics hook people. It just surprises me, because it seems unnecessary. And also a little ill-advised, since taking one side over the other is a classic zero-sum game.
AI has the potential to reshape the world for good by unlocking people's creativity, but if the models are so large and compute intensive that only the wealthy can afford to leverage them, it's going to be the ultimate dystopian enabler.
Ask HN: Unique Ideas for Utilizing the ChatGPT Model
Hey everyone,

I'm new to the hacking community and I've recently come across the ChatGPT model. I was wondering if anyone has any unique ideas for how to utilize this model? I'm looking for creative ways to use it that go beyond just the standard chatbot applications. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
This made me chuckle "Your next recruiter, your next colleagues, your next crush won't care about Vim. Vim is not cool and you are not cool for using Vim"
Haha that was basically my initial thought (that it was unfair). But then, the criteria of Advent of Code is to come up with the answer in any way you can. If you care about getting on the scoreboard (only the first 100 people) then the speed matters. If you only want to get the gold stars, then speed doesn’t matter, only correctness. If you want to hone your problem solving skills or practice/learn a specific language then you will do that. (For example I did some in Forth, speed be damned.) So solving it with ChatGPT is in the spirit of the competition in some ways, but probably cheating to the people who want to score well on the competition, kind if like using a chess computer. But not as clear since obviously you can use a computer to get your answers.
Note: story. "I should prefer having a partner to being alone." The character is reassuring the reader that he isn't the sort of oddball loner who might actually want to live alone. They may have expenses, but they both feel a societal need not to be that strange man living alone in an empty apartment.
Using it as a boilerplate generator I've found is pretty handy. That's something I've always wanted in my workflow.
That makes sense. I don't know exactly what went wrong but the MacBook was having trouble sleeping and waking due to something related to talking to the monitor over USB-C sometimes timing out.
Really? I was curious about how it could be used to help solve the Advent of Code. For day 1, I queried, "Write a Rust program that takes in a text file with integers delimited with line breaks and adds them up." which gave me runnable code and gets you most of the way to solving the AoC problem.
This is actually pretty interesting, especially given comcast is headquartered in Philly
I sort of have the feeling that we are closer to self improving AGI that we think. I feel a lot of the hard stuff is done.

For those who can afford it. Others in the gig economy will live ever tighter bound by the digital tether.

The office life in the US is layers upon layers of dysfunction. Dysfunction still actively taught at elite institutions delivering CEOs with no creative ideas beyond financialization (taking on more debt) and driving down costs. The gig economy being the ultimate goal. It’s not the auto-firing algorithms that worries me it’s the capriciousness and the insensitivity to bugs in the algorithm that worries me. It’s one thing to be fired for actual low performance that could possibly be avoided or at least predicted it’s another entirely to be randomly fired for something completely beyond your control for which you have no recourse.

If enough employers work together to treat their employees poorly employees will end up having to take worse conditions because they have to work somewhere.

I would prefer co-locate to a healthy work environment but I’ve yet to encounter one. Employers have gotten so used to treating employees badly (especially those on visas) that they’re not even in the ballpark of terms that I would accept. I’m personally fortunate that I’m not forced to take their offers, but I feel bad for those who do.

I don't know about confirmation bias but I've realized as a kid that November and February has always been bad for me. I think that was way before I heard of SAD, although I could of course have internalized something I had heard and forgotten the details.

Anyway, given that placebos work very well on mood, I'm happy to read about possible solutions (as long as they're not harmful) even if they would have no observable effect in a double-blind :)
Wait... somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but GPT-3 is a language processor.

This isn't narrow AI like copilot where it's just probabilistic determining "Users like you may also enjoy closing their IO handles!"

This is ingesting a fucking _storyline_ and getting to a result?

Can it attend scrum standups for me yet?
When generating code it seems to often stop earlier than desired. Is there a way to specify full/longer output?

Poverty, war, and starvation are all political and/or cultural problems, not technical problems.

To a large extent so is suffering, deadly pollution, insanitary living conditions, and underfunded schools and healthcare.

So pretty much everyone is not working on these problems in a capacity that matters. If you want to be, you need to be in the realm of politics, not technology.
All news outlets today have clickbait; it is unavoidable.

Which children are being sterilised? Do you mean the ones going on puberty blockers? Because those are reversible, aren't they?
I completely agree that there is a hype cycle with every new advancement in AI, and that the novelty can wear off quickly. But I think it's important to remember that these advancements are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what AI is capable of. While it's easy to get excited about a cool new trick that a computer can do, we need to remember that AI is still in its early stages and has a lot of room for growth. As AI continues to advance, we'll likely see more and more impressive capabilities that will truly change the world in ways we can't even imagine yet. So while it's natural to get excited and then let the excitement fade, I think it's important to remember the potential of AI and keep pushing forward with its development.

Oh by the way, this comment was generated by chatGPT with the following prompt: "Respond to the following comment in the character of someone who is optimistic about the continued growth of AI capabilities. (Your comment)"
