Libertarianism treats the market as a game when it suits (i.e. when other people are "cheating") and as a natural law the rest of the time (i.e. when other people want to change the already-artificial rules of the game via politics).
Oh, I and I think many commenters had missed that, that is important to note!

I wonder if there's an update on how Unpoly has worked out for them or anyone else.
It's the micron-precise alignment of the four beams that is astonishing. I can't see which part(s) is actively aligned to line up the beams.

Oh boy I remember when Gnome's file manager ate all my ram trying to generate thumbnails for a folder with millions of images.

And when Dolphin crashed and refused to work again when the nfs shares that were mounted got unexpectedly disconnected from the network. I had to unmount everything from the terminal before Dolphin decided to work again.
The investigation is about whether Binance has broken AML laws. There are a million other laws they may have broken, but like FTX, we're unlikely to find out until it implodes.
There's no way that's happening.

Air travel is one of the safest modes of mechanized transportation in the world, space launches would be among the least and probably wont change much in their overall reliability.
Their point is that for an individual, yes, it's not that much of a deterrent - but that individual can only park poorly with 1 car at a time.

The USPS has a fleet of many (hundreds of thousands?) vehicles, so their capacity to ruin it for everyone is much larger - but their potential liability from fines is too. So they treat it very seriously.

The poster is saying that spam is more like the USPS situation, where single entities control thousands of potential infractions, not the rich individual.

Wherefore art thou utilizing contrarwise? Dost thy senses leave thee?
Thats a great analogy. I like to think of it as setting up the scaffolding either on the code front or writing front.

Its well structured, clear and concise but lacks high level capability of a human or human style attributes.
The problem I have with this article is that it straight up calls the permian mass extintion event as induced by global warming changes.

Being generous, that is -at best- a lie of omission. The Permian event was caused by massive lava flows from tectonic changes and a rise on the lava stratum to to lower end of the earth crust "
The scientific consensus is that the main cause of extinction was the large amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the volcanic eruptions" [1]

Its really hard to take articles like this seriously when they play so hard and fast with the facts to fit their narrative.

> The problem with standardization of anything in law is that inevitably it slows down innovation a bit. That's obviously not a problem with something like housing, but in tech it might be an issue.

Software development is the side where I'd expect the most slow-down (rather than EULAs) but if anything, I think standardisation removes friction from innovation — I'm much more likely to adopt your lib for example if you tell me it's MIT licensed rather than something you've written something a bespoke library for.

Similarly, imagine if a new start-up creates a new Alexa competitor, say — I'd much prefer if they said "we treat your personal data as standard, under this commons licence. Then, we also have some niche requirements that are A/B/C and this is how they explicitly work", rather than pages long TOS that I need to go through with a fine-tooth comb to see if anything has been snuck in.
the obvious problems is that it looks good because it's well written.

doesn't mean that the answer is comprehensible or correctly

personally I develop a fatigue reading chatgpt answers, there's some fluff I have problems parsing, I don't know how to describe it.
> but on a machine with 8 GiB of RAM, would you not rather see it being used?

Yes. But not by a desktop.
Spoiler alert: It has no purpose.
Do not mistake ChatGPT for AI in general. ChatGPT, GPT, and transformers in general are not the end state of AI. They are one particular manifestation and projecting forward from them is drawing a complex hypershape through a single point (even worse than drawing a line through a single point).

It is probably more humanly-accurate to say that ChatGPT has no opinions at all. It has no understanding of truth, it has no opinions, it has no preferences whatsoever. It is the ultimate yes-thing; whatever you say, it'll essentially echo and elaborate on it, without regard for what it is that you said.

This obviously makes it unsuitable for many things. (This includes a number of things for which people are trying to use it.) This does not by any means prove that all possible useful AI architectures will also have no opinion, or that all architectures will be similarly noncommital.

(If you find yourself thinking this is a "criticism" of GPT... you may be too emotionally involved. GPT is essentially like looking into a mirror, and the humans doing so are bringing more emotion to that than the AI is. That's not "bad" or something, that's just how it works. What I'm saying here isn't a criticism or a praise; it's really more a super-dumbed-down description of its architecture. It fundamentally lacks these things. You can search it up and down for "opinions" or "truth", and it just isn't there in that architecture, not even implied in the weights somewhere where we can't see it. It isn't a good thing or a bad thing, it just is a property of the design.)
Also a good guess because if I remember correctly the floppy floppy disks which were flatter with a larger surface area and actually floppy were about 512k or so.

I only ever saw one machine with one of those in though and of course it was at school, running useless software for us
It pleases me to see the classic "high votes, no comments" on this post, as people upvote it since they can tell its smart, but have literally no clue what the words mean. Neither do I for that matter, he might as well be speaking an alien language.
Hard to imagine a programmatic way to distinguish human-written text from ChatGPT output at this point, does something like this exist?
The headline here should probably be updated as this is an optical module teardown, not a cable teardown.
For me it simply should be forbidden to have any contract like this between consumer and company. All relations should be regulated by law and no exception should be allowed. If you sell a product all warranty and obligations should be regulated. If you sell subscription, you should only be allowed to declare what’s included, price and duration. All else should be in common law.

I also see no sense in reading through these contracts if you’re not a lawyer. You will probably miss or interpret wrongly a sentence or two. And this might be the most critical part of the contract.

Let’s stop this madness that newsletter subscriptions and printer cartridges have a license and you should employ a lawyer to read it. This is all shady business. Let’s focus on building bridges, writing books and growing crops. This is what human being need, not million of law firms, accountants and other useless jobs.
Yup. Left Behind vs Stay Behind.

When the Stay Behind cohort has the power to veto, accommodation becomes extortion.

Worse, Stay Behind often thwart efforts to help Left Behind.

Every budget cycle, my state argues about funding public education. It'd be easy to write off the Left Behind, especially since the Stay Behind work to end public education, especially since rural areas are subsidized (accommodated).

But the wiser, calmer nannies in the capital fight to keep the rural schools funded, as best able. Can't abandon people just because they were born in the wrong zip code.

Then the Stay Behind always extracts some concessions to allow the nannies to help the Left Behind. Aka extortion.

And Stay Behind despises the nannies for the effort.

Did you get rid of longjmp() too? longjmp() is far more perilous for similar reasons and purposes.

Defer is useful for code clarity in many situations IMHO, and it's easy enough for a project or code QA tool to ban its use for those that don't like it.
Also, same firm that Trump worked with. I see a potential pattern here.

I live very rurally. Thanks to a state government with very little "nannying" our tiny county government can make infrastructure decisions that fit our needs, financials, and abilities.

Almost every road in my county is dirt/gravel. When you have very minimal use, this is a vastly superior road medium. No specialty equipment is needed to maintain the roads, just a dump truck and (ideally) a grader or plow. Nearly every farm out here has both, so road maintenance is a community affair.

Likewise, we have nearly no bridges, the roads just go through the creeks and you are expected to have the ability to judge whether or not you and your vehicle can cross. We have a bridge in need of repair, it's been closed for four years with no sign of fixing soon. We do not have the money (as a county) to fix it. The water crossings are closed after storms, for a few hours, this is vastly superior, for my rural community.

It's the same as it is in tech. Your tech choice are partially informed by the size and capability of your org.
Spotify Wrapped/Apple Replay, but for Work (Jira/Asana/Height)
This site creates a 2022 rewind/review of all the tasks you got done. It works with Jira, Asana, and Height.
For example, how many tasks you created, with whom you collaborated the most, and more.
We aren't dinosaurs. The end of the abnormally cold climate that we (and other mammals) have enjoyed for the past 2.5 million years (aka Quaternary Ice Age) is likely to cause the Earth to become uninhabitable again to us and most land mammals outside the poles (and poles aren't great with their months-long days and nights).

And while this is still unlikely (and we were overdue for a colder, more normal for our Ice Age climate with the end of our interglacial, give or take a few thousand years), we are certainly turning up the heat in an alarming fashion ! (P.S.: the risk comes from the self-reinforcing feedback loops some of which the article describes.)
Improved dev experience for Lambdas with TypeScript
If you want to look put together, put your body together first. Clothes are a cheap signal, one that many older people have given up caring about because clothes and appearance are less relevant at their age. And genuinely fit people look good in almost anything.
I made a small npm package that allows you to build Lambdas with Typescript and deploy them using Terraform. The goal was to get the feeling of a local like environment for fast updates to the backend without giving up Terraform.

I wrote a blog about how I was thinking about this when building in.

It looks to me like ChatGPT explained accurately what the abstract says. And indeed, the abstract sounds like this research is largely bullshit. But it's not ChatGPT that is at fault here.
Mazars is 5th in Europe, 24 400 employees and it makes ~2 bilions in turnover.

this above comment is not bringing much value to the discussion I think.
I have slight hyperopia, but it's dwarfed by the much more significant astigmatism.
Nope, people bought a PC because it was good for learning/office and they were even subsidised here. Amiga had a reputation for being more a kind of fancy game machine in the EU.
Bizarre. I can see the argument that artwork or photography using the same pose is not infringing, and I've seen quite a lot similar poses used in photography and art over the years.

But that's not the case here. Ruling that the photograph cannot be copyrighted because the pose is not unique is not something I have ever heard of occurring in any case for a Berne signatory until now, and I do not understand how that ruling is compatible with the fundamentals of copyright established within it, though I am a layperson and not a lawyer.

There's a lot of people arguing about how the painting isn't an exact copy, but that's irrelevant - copyright is a lot farther ranging than just ctrl+c ctrl+v'ing something. It's true that something as nebulous as "style" can't be copyrighted, but I could not take the latest Avengers movie, animate it in black and white with subtitles rather than audio, and be free from infringing on copyright. The painting is clearly a derivative work, and if the original photo had copyright protection, the painting would clearly be infringing.

But, bizarrely, this court appears to have ruled that the photo simply cannot be copyrighted, purely because of the pose of the model. If a unique pose is a requirement for a photograph to be copyrighted, then this renders the vast majority of portrait photography uncopyrightable.

I can't imagine this ruling would be upheld upon appeal in most countries that have signed the Berne convention.
The complex part of the law is the intent requirement that's pretty endemic to most "white collar" crimes. That feature in the law makes gathering evidence long and arduous because it requires establishing what's happening inside the minds of executives who know that writing down and emailing certain things is very bad and proves intent, so they have to nibble around the edges of the case picking off people and turning them to share private conversations or out of band communications that go towards showing intent.
Does it matter why the US is supporting Ukraine? its still the right thing to do, even if you do it for the wrong reason (which I don't think they are).
Great, so we're back to "unlimited data" doesn't really mean "unlimited" but, just a large amount, but not really a large amount, because...

Words have meaning. Full self driving, to anyone who isn't a nerd who likes to pick shit apart, means the freaking car will drive all by itself as if a human were driving it, maybe even better.
It’s surprisingly easy to identify AI comments in informal or semi-informal setting. They are too wordy. They would never say something stupid, controversial, or offensive.
Disagree, these kinds of things take years to make their way through the system. If it really has been ongoing for 5 years, that would be roughly around the time I would expect them to move forward with charges, if they were going to.

[edit] If I were CZ a 5 year long investigation would make me far more worried, not less. The authorities don't investigate nothing for 5 years, after all. If this was a witch hunt it sounds like they found a coven.
Mazars isn’t a fly by night operation. They are old and big, just not in the big 4.

Traditional finance views Mazars audits (which this isn’t) the same as a big 4 audit.

The post is about a new feature related to errors, the top comment is the same old complaint about verbose error handling, which is only tangentially related. I wouldn’t consider that quality discussion.
Some are much better than others. Where I work we have some embedded systems in lab that can only program from USB. We are constantly reprogramming them, so we go through a lot of USB drives. The cheap ones last maybe a week in the lab, we have found one that will last for months - they cost 5 times as much, but last at least 20 times longer.
I can see the logic of calling east asian comics "comics". But why would an English speaker use a Japanese term, "manga" to refer to all east Asia comics?
Ask HN: What's your proudest hack?
I saw this question being asked on here years ago with few but interesting answers. I'd imagine that a lot of you still have some pretty interesting stories to tell about some crafty workarounds.
Also a rural person living next to working farms, I'll just say this: Many things make more sense when you realize that farming is industry (and a workplace) and has to be managed by the state as an industry with similar regulatory, health & safety and environmental concerns.

The bucolic picture of farms as family homes combined with a flock of peaceful sheep, a family dog, and some silly chickens and a hard working sole proprietor is really hobby farming and a primarily aesthetic thing at this point.

The real world of the countryside is one of industrial extraction/production, but where somehow homes are mixed in. Not saying this is ideal, but a lot of the conflict that arises is around the disjoint nature of our traditional view of "the countryside" vs what it's actually "for" (industrial farming + future suburban development + mixed residential uses)
I fed ChatGPT all of the responses (as of UTC 13:38:38) and asked it to analyze the sentiment:

The forum is discussing whether ChatGPT and other generated responses should be banned. Some argue that these technologies can be useful, but that they should be used responsibly and in combination with human input. Others suggest that the best solution is to raise the community's standards for what counts as a good comment and make posts that are so thoughtful that the question of whether a comment is generated never comes up. Some also warn of the potential labor market impacts of advanced AI technologies, and the need to be cautious about their development and use. Overall, there seems to be a recognition of the need to be cautious about the development and use of these technologies.

Edit: my conclusion is that such generated summaries can be useful for very large threads (proceed with caution etc.)
Probably fits better in the role of COO than CEO.
There are ways you can fix this yourself but like all things it's way easier to just get a managed solution. CloudFlare or similar should give the necessary tools to block these types of sites.
I also can't believe how weird you have to be to find it useful of having an AI write your mails.
What a nonesende must those people write when they need help of an AI?

This again seems to be just stupid tech stuff nobody really needs.
For PC I remember the 5.25" were 1.2MB. Not actually bad capacity comparatively. Or 612KB for single sided.

Though Wikipedia lists quite wide range of sizes none at 512KB.
Ask HN: 10x developers, how do you monetize the rest 9x?
The current pay ladder in all companies that I worked and know second hand of has a clear ceiling for software developers.

Sometimes high (faang), sometimes not. But essentially it’s non linear and after first couple of levels you never get paid 2x for the 2x performance and code quality you produce.

And it makes sense from business point of view (why overpay if you can always find a cheaper developer that still passes the bar).

But how do you, 10x ninja devs with fulltime jobs, work around this limitation?

Please share your stories.
It's a carrier side setting...lol.
Postgres natively supports UUID, so I'm using that and guess that it will internally optimize things. Otherwise I would certainly use a different format.
I'd like to agree, and elaborate.

The use of the "tech bro" stereotype in the article really rubs me the wrong way. It's a complete rhetorical low blow.

It's identifying the opposite of the author's opinion with a group, and then portraying that group in a way so that the reader would rather distance themselves from that group than identify with that group. This triggers in-group/out-group psychology along the lines of: "My enemy's enemy must be my friend", or "My opinion should probably be the opposite of the opinion held by people I don't like." ...an obvious logical fallacy.

In the compound "tech bro" it's actually the word "bro" that does the heavylifting to make the group unsympathetic. The rhetoric wouldn't work with "techies", but would work equally well with "frat bro". Outside of the U.S., "bro" is not even a readily recognizable cultural stereotype at all. For example people in the tech sector in Europe who are in their 50s and who like how dark mode reminds them of IBM terminals that existed back when they were young might have a preference for dark mode, but they surely don't fit the stereotype of a "tech bro". Young people into gaming aesthetics might like it too, but they aren't always tech bros.

Preferences for light mode / dark mode are pretty much subjective personal preferences or maybe to some extent culturally ingrained, but in a way that has little or nothing to do with being a "bro". It's like saying: "So you like to have a lot of black on your screen? Do you know who else liked black? Mussolini! So, do you still want all that black on your screen now, like a fascist pig? Or do you do what I tell you to do now, and set your screen mode to light?"
I've been reading Ubik by Phillip K. Dick. He hammers this point home frequently, with hilarity.
The Web3 Business Use Case Reference List
In the video showing the cavitation comparison, why aren't the central parts of the propellers more hydrodynamic? Like the typical pointy shape. It seems like it would make the contrast between the two propeller designs at the blade tips more apparent if the predominant source of cavitation wasn't due to the feature they have in common.
You could carry on a decent conversation with ELIZA in the 90s. ChatGPT is arguably less sophisticated since it's just using NN tricks rather than trying to emulate intelligence. I could be wrong but I think ChatGPT is just about the ceiling for what this technology can do. I don't mean to be a grump because it's incredibly impressive for what it is but I still think we're pretty far from a tipping point.
Apple III vs Apple II mindset.
ChatGPT is the death knell for discussion communities where mainstream internet users spend their time. That would be Reddit, Quora, Facebook and Twitter.

We don't need to ring that bell for search engines, it was already drowning in Wikipedia co-authored blogspam that this won't change much.

"Dead internet theory" posits that bot-generated comments and content is more common than we think. Reddit actually has subreddit simulators that are nothing but bots talking back and forth to each other, using training models based on actual Reddit comment threads. It's not chatGPT level, but it's frightening to see how bland most 'real' Reddit conversations are.

Assuming honesty ...

There is a difference between:

"This is why you shouldn't use GitHub sign-ins, or any social logins, use email logins."

and

"It's your own fault. You deserve what you got! GitHub did the right thing here."
The real person ID will make the "real person" liable to whatever the bot says and does though. I know US Americans have a bit more relaxed setups when it comes to free speech but that doesn't absolve anyone of actual consequences once the real name is out in the open. Not that Uncle Sam might prosecute you, but Jonathan who lives two blocks away might be so triggered by your response that he will graffiti your front door.
