Ask HN: How will the search engines deal with ChatGPT?
With ChatGPT's generated text becoming nearly indistinguishable from human written contents, it's a given that the internet is going to be spammed with generated texts now more than ever. How would the big search engines deal with this? Or would they do what they've always done so far, ignore everything and push more ads?
Ooo, that is a particularly great example - I wouldn't have thought of that (no pun intended), and I pride myself on being able to scale my use of English to the skill-level of the person I am speaking to.

In fact, even if I was in "speak simply" mode, I would still use "would" instead of, perhaps, "recommend," as "would" is a shorter word: I favor simpler words over multi-syllable versions when trying to be maximally understandable to someone whose native language is not English.
I'm glad you brought it up!

The part about 'niching down' is really important in the side-projects world, and a lot of people are missing that.
They try to build all-in-one heavy projects, hoping to provide more values than existing products.

I higly agree with simplicity and decluterring projects to provide a real, but simple value.
People on HN question from time to time about what to do. This article points out several key issues, and battery recycling must be added:

Where do the amps come from? How do they get to the chargers? How much delay is introduced by charger operation/bottleneck? Plug/voltage compatibility? Current safety? Disaster handling (can’t carry a bucket of electrons)?

This suggests material science, power generation, portable aux power sources and real time load balancing are going to be critical. Along with a whole lot of infrastructure that might have difficulty getting built. I’m not an EE - is it possible to create a solar cell that has any impact on an EV? Even enough to move it at trivial speeds? Might portable wind turbines have an effect? Will this force a return to smaller lighter cars?

Would be nice to replace some/much of the medium long haul/intercity travel with trains but that’s a political problem. So is a paying for all the steps in changing from a gas to an electric environment. Man, that Nobel-to-be for high temperature superconducting will be very much appreciated.
Oh hey there, I wrote a whole book with the same title of this post. Love to see more tmux love!

Actually, it's not that ironic, considering that the first projects are usually not the one dominating a space later. The first ones are often still exploring the new space, and thus enabling later projects to learn from their failures and optimizing faster on this experience.

And AFAIK VS Code demonstrated this pretty well. Atom was all in on JavaScript (or CoffeeScript AFAIK) for gaining the benefits coming with it, leading to performance-penaltys and other problems. While VS Code was also heavily optimizing on performance, sidestepping JavaScript and minimizing the customizability for the sake of stability. Atom only later focused more on this, but was killed along the way when they started their research-project for better performance. But good enough, at least we got treesitter coming out of it, so it wasn't wasted at the end.
Most of the richest people today were born solidly middle or upper middle class.

This sounds like my setup! I literally have 1 button startup for starting all my normal programs (including split tmux windows, each running appropriate startup commands for what ever process they need) and it moves all my windows into their regular positions. I usually get into to work, plug in the laptop, press my button and go make coffee :)

Knocking off a book by changing some character names is common. So in spirit, yes you can't make a movie based on a book without licensing. In practice we have stealth book adaptations without license. We even have movies licensing a book, and then ignoring everything EXCEPT the names of few characters.

With AI you need to prove that picture A.jpg was based on work B.jpg. How are you going to do that? "It looks similar" is not a proof I used your picture.
Tmux becomes more awesome when you use something like Alacritty or Kitty [EDIT: scratch Kitty, this mainly applies to Alacritty] and map your system's key (Apple's command key or... whatever it would be on Linux or Windows) and use that as your "tmux key". That way you can make single-chord bindings for all things tmux and life becomes better. If you use Vim, adding VimTmuxNavigator[0] improves things so much. For example, to seemlessly switch between panes, be they tmux panes or vim panes, I use `cmd-h`, `cmh-j`, `cmd-k`, `cmd-l`.

It's possible to achieve "command as tmux key" with iTerm which I did do for years but I don't recommend it. It's very hacky.

Don't downvote that - it's correct: the Celsius scale is an "interval scale" while the Kelvin scale is a "ratio scale". One must not take ratios of Celsius values as ratios are not even defined for that.

Energy use in the form of Natural gas for heating and industrial use dwarfs all electrical energy consumption in Germany - something like 8-10x at least if you measure it in joules.

It’s not an uncommon situation in northern climates. Natural gas has a LOT of thermal energy, is pretty cheap per BTU/joule, and thermal energy is very useful.
In the 2000 I used to write a windows tool. It was making me some pocket money until I stopped it in 2015.. I stopped it because it was in the end kinda high maintenance (support mails = time) and I needed to pay taxes, so I basically got 0 or needed even to pay to keep this alive. But until then it was a nice source of passive income. I wish I could make more of these tools. It was nothing big but I spent at least 1 year developing it (I was still learning so I think I could make this in 6 months or less nowadays)
I think more people have these ideas than they realize, but it’s the failure to act that holds them back.

Just because there are competitors doesn’t mean there’s no room for you.

Don’t look for reasons not to give it a shot.

Don’t tell anyone about it. There’s a lot of psychology trickery going on when you share your idea with people. Either they shit on the idea and you lose incentive to work on it, or the praise you and your brain takes that dopamine rush and considers the job over. Don’t tell anyone, just get to work.
Face coverings for cyclists and moped riders was pretty common in London even 20 years ago. Something about filtering diesel particles.

Point taken. I suppose the 'out' is open to interpretation. I read it as in 'counting out[loud]' or just 'counting out [the number of something]'. But I can see how they could have meant it as in 'counting out [which ones amongst X sheep were for mating/selling/killing/etc.
Did you check out tmuxinator? Sounds like you reinvented it, cool, but maybe there’s some inspiration to be had.
LOL. That's right. Well observed. Just the "origins of C" would be a lot more honest. I also liked the commentary on theory and practice, which could have something to do with C and UNIX and the whole story.
Thanks for being interested enough to ask. I create a new GitHub repository and add a number to the end.

So I have ideas (100 headings), ideas2(101 headings), ideas3 (101 headings) ideas4 (518 headings)

When I get to 100-500 ideas in that Markdown file I create a new repository. I use the hidden GitHub table of contents feature in the top left of the README.md.

I link to previous ideas where there is synergy.

This is so that when they are published to HN or Reddit people who saw previous issues do not skip over ideas added since last time.

If you interpret it generously, those rich people may acknowledge that it takes luck to succeed. If you follow your heart you at least have enjoyed the ride if luck doesn't strike.

If you want your kids to go to what Japanese people consider good schools (private, extremely hard entrance exam), suddenly things become expensive quite rapidly. Fees for the school, but also tutoring to make them pass the exams in the first place. Then you get to university, and unless you go to a state university, that’s a ton of money again.

This was more to illustrate that it’s not for lack of governmental intervention.
This kind of pretend-compatibility requirements should be made illegal.
> This isn't evidence against dark matter's existence,

If the repeated failure to find tangible evidence of something in the physical universe isn't evidence against its existence, then you're no longer doing science, but rather playing some religious game
Propane is a refined, and somewhat synthesized molecule. LNG is rather raw, and contains a lot of free hydrogen, methane, and sometimes other contaminants like sulphur (though that is mostly lower grades).

Think of the difference between 91 octane gas at a pump vs slightly filtered crude oil.
I think "use postgres for everything" is a good solid foundation to start with (if you dont have a really good reason not to and know the exact use case beforehand). Can redis, rabbitmq or solr etc do a better job for a specific user case, of course becasue they are dedicated tools for the job. But the question is, is the builtin tool in postgres "good enough"? And for many thing they are.

I see postgres like a tractor. It's the most important machine and you can attach alot of different equipment's to get alot of jobs done. Some times you notice a task need a specific machine that the tractor is not suited for, then you invest in that machine. To invest in all specialized machines from the beginning just because they can do one single job better than the tractor is not an efficient way of farming, there is a price to have all those machines too, that does not necessarily result in a better outcome.
I wonder how kids educated in the Montessori fashion would behave during the box experiment. Is this telling us about children or the educational system?
Wouldn’t the best advice simply be to avoid unproductive signaling and be authentic when possible?

It’s one thing to signal by wearing nice clothes to a company outing where you make an impression on the person who can materially affect your future income.

It’s another thing to consider every aspect of your life in the lens of “what would the wealthy do?”

I really have no interest in allowing others to make decisions for me, and I don’t understand the mindset
It seems like a really specific niche. These people use bookmarks a lot, probably to manage a big chunk of the information they consume. If you see this much value in this tool it seems like an easy jump to pay a few bucks to make your use of it more effective.

My basic problem with anarchism at this point (perhaps I am just woefully misinformed, having but a coffee-table knowledge) is that I am old enough to have been knocked around a bit, and have experienced that courts are a wonderful institution to have recourse to when in conflict with someone whose power is equivalent or greater but who is logically in the wrong. And an anarchist court system sounds oxymoronic.
"Old language have it, so it must not be a problem" is not a very convincing argument.

Almost every new language that has come out in the last ~10 years or so tries hard to avoid null pointers, and old languages try very hard to mitigate the problem in various ways.

Dart went through a tedious process of removing nullability.

Kotlin doesn't have nullability (well, sort of, using Java bindings can still get you null pointer exceptions).

There are lot's of attempts for Java, from static analysis tools (eg recently from Meta , but there are older solutions), Springs new @NonNull, etc.

C# switched to making non-nullable the default a few years ago.

Rust only has null pointers in the unsafe part of the language, and only for low level raw pointers, not for traits.

Go is the odd one out.
solar cells can have a decent impact on very exotic efficient designs like the aptera. On a normal sedan it is better to put the solar panel elsewhere than the car
No, it’s not false, that article takes a deliberately obtuse definition and uses it to debunk something which wasn’t claimed.

Clearly due to the nature of grids and shared generation nobody can guarantee that all electrons used came from wind power (nor does anyone care!?!) but Scotland is an exporter of energy and at times its entire needs could be met from its renewable generation.

Not sure which part of Scotland producing lots of renewable energy you find difficult to cope with, but renewable production is here to stay, cheaper than other sources and a growing part of the mix.

These tools are incredibly impressive, and they will probably only get better as time goes on.

However, most software being developed and maintained out there is not part of greenfield projects. It is new pieces being built upon the pieces that came before it. Years and decades of different styles, formats and convention.

Sure, in a few years these tools will speed up how quickly some parts of the UI or some internal logic will be created.

But I am not seeing these tools take over the biggest part of my job: connecting vastly different systems together.
How did you market this and get traction?
One of the best software I've ever used, it's addictive. Did anyone manage to get it set up on windows? And if you did is it buggy or does it run smooth?
If this was open sourced it may be quickly optimized, the amount of VRAM required for image generation went down very quickly, I'm sure Dalle-2 is still using enormous vrams but other solutions are not.

Why are you still burning fossil fuel to heat houses? If you had stable electricity you could use heat pumps instead. Seems like fossil gas has been too cheap for too long, which have incentivized dependency on it despite the CO2 external cost.

Are there any plans on using waste heat from industry combined with district heating anywhere? Biofuels? Subsidized insulation retrofitting?

Ask HN: Do anyone get anxiety from following Hacker News?
I am 18+ year exp software professional. I see wide variety of topics in HN and I feel like I don’t know a lot of things in computer world. Off late I find it hard to follow lot of them. Crypto, ML, Data, Quantum Computing. Do anyone feel this or if you feel it how you cope up ?
It's truly crazy to me how quickly pricing has ramped up especially in EVs. Imagine telling someone 10 years ago that people would line up to buy a $60k Hyundai EV, or $80k on a luxury Hyundai sub-brand EV?

The Tesla Model 3/Y range can easily run up above $70k with options now, and the bigger Tesla Model S/X is a six-figures vehicle!

Likewise, gas powered BMWs seem to have disappeared in the $30-40k range and pretty quickly get into the $50k+ range.
The social value is immense. Thank you!
I think people will find a way to perceive GPT according to their preconditioned biases. Say like you. You see (2) that turns out (1), and why not (1) that turns out (2)? GPT is not supposed to be a full human being. But it's a GIANT advancement in AI. Few facts about it:

1. It actually has the neuron count and connectivity of a MOUSE. Imagine when we scale that up more (and yes, so far scaling yields better outcomes, no ceiling in sight).

2. It's a very basic Transformer architecture, scaled up. It's like only the associative part of your brain. But more models can be added to it in time, say so it separate "hard known facts" from "likely facts", or it can cite its sources better.

GPT is useful TODAY. For countless things. Not to mention DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and so on. Yes, you can pigeonhole GPT and make it do something robotic or stupid. You can kinda do that with most people as well. Since when are we perfect all of a sudden?

We're literally just GETTING STARTED with it.

----------------------

Anyway, because everyone is using GPT to write poems, here's what you said, and what I replied, as a poem:

YOU:

What's funny about this, I see

Two kinds of blog posts about ChatGPT

One says it made stuff that looks good

But falls apart when closely understood

The other says they're amazed

But then others point out it's not so great

It makes me come to depressing conclusions

About human nature, and its illusions.

ME:

GPT is not supposed to be a full human being,

But a giant advancement in AI we're seeing

With the neuron count and connectivity of a mouse,

Imagine what it will be when we scale up the house

It's a basic transformer architecture, that's true

But more models can be added, it's up to you

To decide how to use it, for good or for ill

But remember, we're just getting started, it's still a thrill

Yes, people will find a way to perceive it

According to their biases, don't let them defeat it

GPT is useful today, for countless things

So don't let the naysayers make its bell ring

With DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and more to come,

GPT is just the beginning, the future is bright, let's have some fun

Exploring the possibilities, seeing what we can do,

With this amazing technology, the sky's the limit, it's up to you.

Enjoy :P
