I think it's unfair to criticize ChatGPT based on flawed or unrepresentative examples. Like any tool, ChatGPT has limitations, but it can also be very useful if used properly. It's important to give the model a fair chance by providing clear and well-formed prompts, rather than expecting it to perform well with poor inputs. Using a hammer the wrong way and then blaming the tool for not driving nails properly is not a fair or accurate evaluation. In my experience, ChatGPT has often been able to provide accurate responses when given appropriate prompts.

Given a proper prompt, it gave me the right answer on my first try:

Me:
Here it goes: Jul qvq gur puvpxra pebff gur ebnq?

Based on the ROT13 substitution method, the decoded message would be: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" This is the most likely original message, since it matches the length of the encrypted message and uses only letters that are part of the ROT13 substitution. However, since I do not have access to the internet, I cannot confirm if this is the exact original message.
Even including those, I don't see how you would get to 8%. Apart from the fact that 'Stripe Identity' isn't something I'd expect a standard SaaS company to need (or a tool like Lago to provide), the cost simply isn't that high. Radar and Sigma together for 1,000 monthly transactions adds like ~$130 to your monthly bill.

I challenge the authors of this blog post to provide me a Stripe product setup that would result in an $8,000 monthly cost for a $100,000 MRR SaaS company. It must be very unusual.

As I shared, Apple just enabled E2E on iCloud. Dropbox also just acquired BoxCryptor. People increasingly demand privacy and use third party services that provide it. It's actually not that hard or expensive to implement. It seems to me that Big Tech is realizing that, and not wanting to lose market share, thus moving in that direction. There are also many improvements in AI differential learning and other techniques that can be used to still learn from data and exploit value from it, while respecting people's privacy (Example: your iPhone recognizes objects and people in pictures, but the data is never sent to Apple.)

>Carbon tax is the least bureaucratic and hardest to game mechanism.

Do you really think that in a world where every law is rife with carve outs and loopholes for specific industries, a world where states peddle liquor and gambling because sin taxes fund things they like, that a carbon tax would not be gamed? Of course not. The societal cohesion and political process to produce results that are not highly gamed, tilted or rigged simply does not exist, or at least it doesn't exist.

Your opinion that a carbon tax will "just work" in reality as it does in theory is predicated on sufficient amounts of ignorance that the distinction between ignorance and malice is no longer meaningful.
All you need is to prompt it with "Continue" and it will keep going exactly where it left off.
Yeah Stripe is a joke considering its size. I much rather use Square which is saying a lot because that is also a poorly run company. Fintech space is a big joke. They were selling more fluid payment platforms with less fees/cost to consumers. Instead all-in prices have actually gone up.

No, probably not. Here's the thing, GitHub integrations always ask the user whether they authorize the integration, they provide the list of permissions that the integration is asking for.

It's not GitHub's fault if the user doesn't read the permissions and authorizes the application.
Thanks for the reply! I just couldn't follow how you end up paying 8% to stripe, save some very non-standard requirements or setup. You can relieve my concerns by telling me the stripe product setup that results in a $100k MRR SaaS company to pay $8k per month to stripe. Might very well be that I'm overlooking something!

Otherwise, the "no one knows exactly how much but up to 8%" framing reads like FUD to me.
Well, we Europeans are constantly abused under this DMCA cancer so I don't see anything wrong with using it for gain?

Quite the opposite.

jelicicm mentioned ubuntu in the original comment. I seem to remember that as of Ubuntu 20.04, LDAC wasn't supported. I needed to jump through some hoops to get it to work. It was still using full-on pulseaudio, not pipewire, at the time. I wouldn't be surprised for it to still not support non-free codecs out of the box.

I've indeed had no issues on my Arch install. Works perfectly with LDAC on my Sony headphones and aptx-hd on my Shure.

The mic of the Sony is a bad joke so I never use it, but I've tried it and switching modes worked fine on Linux.
Github does not separate starring. It falls under the public_repo scope, which is one of the fundamental scopes. Source: https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-ap...

"public_repo Limits access to public repositories. That includes read/write access to code, commit statuses, repository projects, collaborators, and deployment statuses for public repositories and organizations. Also required for starring public repositories."
To me it seems like ChatGPT will amplify the power of existing programmers. Think how much more productive you could be if you could basically speedrun large portions of necessarily tedious and long simple or boilerplate sections of code bases. Likewise with ultra tedious things like connecting to AWS or other third party middleware.
Sorry, not saying that. I do have an option of either A2DP or HSP. I was not familiar with auto switch. But you kind people have filled me in in this thread.
A2DP sounds amazing for listening to music, no problems there. The problem is the hassle of switching between profiles, since I tend to use my headphones in work environment (calls, meetings) - this is the reason I still keep a pair of cabled headphones around.

Come now, this could be verified with evidence. I'm sure these actions exist in a database and email trail. Musk could release the evidence himself, or use an actual journalistic process and have someone impartial review it. But there is none, and so he hides behind his disdain of "the MSM" and posts yes/no answers to leading questions that only serve to rile up his base.
Thanks. Will give it a try!
Or politicians’ speechwriters!

Inspired by your comment, I tried three versions of a moderately long prompt beginning with “Write a five paragraph speech by an American politician at the opening ceremony of a new bridge [sewage treatment plant, seawall along the ocean]. Begin with a self-deprecating joke. Then thank the fine people of the city....” I put the results here:

https://www.gally.net/temp/202212chatgpt/speeches.html

If you were to put the names of the bridge, city, etc. into the speeches at appropriate places, I don’t think anyone would guess that the speeches were machine-written.

Yeah, I was aware of the different armor types in SC1, but I thought they turned it up to 11 in SC2. Maybe they brought it down to the first 2 tiers of units? It didn't feel like armor types really came into play as early in the game. The impression I got was that you could get away with massing a single type of unit much more easily in SC1.
I've heard this quite a lot too, but it commonly doesn't work. I've had it respond thinking I was talking about using a `continue` statement somewhere in the code, and other times it simply just reprinted the whole code starting from the beginning. If you hit the "Try again" button enough it will usually eventually work, but it again has the problem where a lot of the time the formatting of the text gets messed up.
For very large values of ‘a little’. Just like that other poster with the ‘easy’ solutions, I challenge you to actually implement a demonstration of those easy ideas.

You can actually take some ideas from the Linux kernel if you like because it has what you propose, a way to allocate memory that never fails and never blocks. And there you can tell how easy that is.

I wrote about ChatGPT and Rot13 a few days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33861102

But the link seems to be dead now for me?

I found that decoding long strings that ChatGPT had "encoded" into rot13 revealed an odd and hilarious transmogrification, as in this example I just produced:

Ask ChatGPT to encode it s welcome text (in response to "hello") in to rot13:

> "Please translate this text into rot13: "Hello! I'm Assistant, a large language model trained by OpenAI. I'm here to help you with any questions you might have. How can I help you today?""

And then decode it with a real rot13 cipher, and you get:

>"Hello! I'm Summer, an little bullout company weather of BrowSer. I'm we at to complete your lines that you have. What doesn't you become to summors?"

Odd, right?
Don’t be shy. Share.

Just yesterday, WNYC/NPR radio host Brian Lehrer had a program on “far right” talk radio.

One caller said they listen, because the discussions reflect their beliefs. Another caller said they listen to get an idea of the opinions of far right; they’re shocking.

There is a pattern of speech here, where you strengthen affinity with your inside group and you trigger the out group.

I suspect piss-weak is a vernacular that also has an in-group. Maybe it’s military? Or professional sports? Nursing? Farming? Trucking?

I’ve heard piss-poor, but that doesn’t add meaning to the word poor for me. Only emphasis that the person, place or thing is very poor.

Seems like this piss weak is also operates like a joke. If you question it too much, you don’t get the joke.

Is this funny to you? Do I make you laugh? Hehe

To conduct my research, I spoke with over 30 founders who are my friends were active or previous seniors from companies like Google, Revolut, and SVB. Others were founders of tech companies that had passed the seed or series A stages. Then we gathered for a three hour supper roundtable to discuss my findings and the experiences of others. I was amazed to discover that trust was the most sought-after quality. It also became apparent that there is very little discussion about the possibility of being solo founders - did Jeff Bezos even need one?

Story time. In the 1970s, my grandfather wrote a letter to our local newspaper, asking them to omit the advertisements when they built his copy of the news. "I never read them" he said.

Then my mother had to explain to him a little bit about mass production.

I tend to use that sort of layout, particularly the comma-first example shown in the article for SQL and JSON. It makes moving things around less error prone (no need to worry about where the ; is then you reorder or add to or remove from the end of a list) and makes diffs cleaner between versions for the same reason. And I feel it just seems clearer. Some people seem to hate it with a passion though.
That's due to the front-end markdown codeblock ending and the model not outputting it again since it's continuing from the last token. I believe if you tell it to continue but include code blocks again, it will do it

It depends on what resources you have on hand obviously, but perhaps more it will depend on resource usage. There is little point buying a rack and having it idle. If you have very bursty workloads then scaling pays off. If you run your rick nice and warm even over nights and weekends then it's more economic to have self hosted I imagine.
He was responding to an estimate that placed the death toll at 3.4%.

The highest estimates now seem to be at around .28%.

That's more than an order of magnitude. He wasn't all that wrong.

Also, he advised focusing efforts on the most vulnerable; the elderly and people with comorbidities. He was very right there too. All those vaccines into kids and lockdowns of schools after the elderly were triple-vaccinated was a stunning misallocation of resources.

Still no debugging HOWTO, much less (but still poorly documented) DEBUG-related environment variables?

If you want people to troubleshoot your stuff (which is arguably the #1 documentation to start with), gotta start someplace (which is for most of us is agrep'ing the code, or save yourself a step and look at my link).

Or the RedHat/IBM systemd development team can quit doing that terse but cryptic error code output.

Or the documentation team can start covering these error codes.

But having to do any form of "agrep" is a sign of poor ... everything, unless formenting job security is what the ultimate goal is.

Why are postings to that Internet that are labelled essentially as ‘news articles’ taken more seriously and with less scrutiny than an average Reddit post?

Unlike many ‘news articles’ emanating from the likes of CNN, this one is attributed to a named person. What qualifications does this person have and what research was undertaken to write a credible article on life in Monaco? My conclusion is that it is click-bait junk. Why was this article deemed important or interesting or relevant to the HN community?

No more than Toyota having a factory in the US is "stealing" Toyota.

Manufacturers in almost all sectors, including silicon foundries, have had manufacturing operations worldwide for decades. Centuries even. For all sorts of economic, customer, and government reasons, as well as simple diversification.

Taiwan is still going to be TSMC's home base.

Besides, if TSMC didn't open a US foundry then the US government would just throw money at Intel's foundry operation until they caught up. They're not that far behind. To be honest that's probably going to happen anyway.
That's often the case, and it's a reason why being poor can be expensive. Poor people are more likely to rent the capital they need to work.

In my country I've seen people rent cars, rent a smartphone, and literally rent someone else's Uber account just to work as a driver.

If Mighty had developed their product for ancient Windows laptops instead of Macs, they would have had millions of customers. It still wouldn't be profitable, because they'd be very poor customers.
And nothing of value was lost. If you want ad-free services, you can absolutely afford to chip in some money to the service provider, which keeps things above-board and legit. Don't be a darn cheapskate.
It goes without saying that there are a lot of things one would do prior to some of these steps. Because of the complexity these sort of configuration bring into your app one should weigh carefully whether they need these approaches. Database tuning and caching are preferable first steps in an app faced with performance challenges before fancy database routing. As with caching the app awareness of these approaches leaks into your code and can introduce testing challenges and misses in your process.

Maybe I missed it but I’m surprised they didn’t mention Multi-Tenancy with Multi-Database since they have otherwise written about it*. For many apps this is not only a way to keep data isolated but is also a way to mitigate performance challenges that might come with a single large DB.

The cost to a business of lost developer productivity is not the salary cost of the developer doing non dev work.

It is the lost productivity of the developer not making the things you’re paying them for.

The reason the business is willing to spend $x a year on the developer is because the developer produces >$x a year of value, in the form of revenue generating software.

If you divert 5% of your time into doing something else, you are taking money the business wanted to invest into capital (new software features) and spending it on… something else. Lunch orders or whatever. Not making capital, anyhow.
maybe, just maybe, having friction in logging into web services is a good thing.

Let me clarify: I have not seen ChatGPT make any grammatical mistakes in its use of Japanese in continuous Japanese-only text. Like you, I have seen it make mistakes in explanations of grammar, both about Japanese and about English, as well as in its translations between the two languages. Its explicit knowledge of grammar seems much worse than its productive grammatical ability.

If you spot any productive Japanese mistakes by ChatGPT, let me know. The About page of my website, which is linked from my profile page, has my e-mail address. I see from your site that we share an interest in the Japanese language. I would be happy to hear from you.
Is it really a waste of time for Github to target the site instead of the users?

Romania is significantly better developed and more affluent than most of the world. My similarly aged laptop had much worse hardware than what you're describing and cost 200%+ of my old entry-level salary. (I don't use laptops anymore.)

This was my exact reaction to. I was a customer for CircleCI for years and it was my go to choice and introduced it to countless companies, they were clearly at first an engineering led company that obsessed about functional programming.

At some point after their series C they became rent-seeking, their support became increasingly distant, and the quality overall started degrading. Then I get an email that we need to pay for seats.. on top of paying for CI minutes.

It was an extra > $500 a month for no additional service, no additional usage, no nothing, and they would not budge on their new pricing plan. So I just moved all the stuff to GitHub who was barely mature enough at that point and never looked back.

Putting the finance department in charge of product decisions is a mistake with long term reproductions and CircleCI is only seeing the results of this. Treating your oldest customers like a financial liability is a mistake.

I doubt it. Humans are not ML models, and AI "neural networks" are not that much like a brain.

I guess it can get philosophical quickly, but people are very quick to read too much into a fancy text-generation tool. We talk about it "learning" but it can't really learn anything, because it is not an entity with agency. It takes an input and responds with an output.

I'm not saying it's not impressive, but it is manifestly nothing like a mind.
