I like how you think. These are all great ideas!

Reminds me of a time some real estate website hotlinked a ton of images from my website.
After I asked them to stop and they ignored me I added an nginx rewrite rule to send them a bunch of pictures of houses that were on fire.

For some reason they stopped using my website as their image host after that.

That's not what I meant.

The value is a different question. As you point out.

In our time, claiming those are the same (or even that they are meaningfully related) borders on fanaticism.

It gives the old saying "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself; therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." a new twist, doesn't it?

1. AN AI MODEL IS GIVEN ENOUGH CAPACITY to capture (some of) our human perspective, a snapshot of our world as reflected in its training data. <== We've been here for a while

2. AN AI MODEL IS GIVEN ENOUGH CAPACITY to fabulate and imagine things. <== We're unambiguously here now

The fabulations are of a charmingly naive "predict the most probable next token" sort for now, with chatGPT. But even as a future model is (inevitably) given the ability to probe and correct its errors, the initial direction of its fabulations will still reflect that "inception worldview" snapshot.

For example, if a particular fashion trend or political view was popular around the time the model was trained (with training data typically skewing toward the "recent", simply because "recent" is when most digital data will have been produced), that model can be expected to fabulate along the lines of that imprinted political view.

3. AN AI MODEL IS GIVEN ENOUGH CAPACITY to make the is-vs-ought choice between "CORRECT ITSELF" = adapt to the world; or "CORRECT THE WORLD" = imprint its worldview back onto the world (probably indirectly through humans paying attention to its outputs and acting as actuators, but that makes no difference). <== We're getting there rapidly

We won't know what the cost of solar/battery will be in a sustainable energy economy, until someone builds a solar-powered solar panel and battery factory. At the moment, productions costs are heavily (as in, entirely) subsidised by fossil fuels (mostly coal).

Whoever the "old guard" is, they don't have special downvoting powers, do they? In the end, it's a numbers game. As far as I can tell, every user gets exactly one vote, no matter how influential. If "they" really hate you, or if enough normal users flag you, HN has other ways of letting you know, like shadow banning/auto-deading or flagging your account so your comments immediately fall to the bottom of the page no matter how many upvotes they receive. As long as you don't see either effect, you're probably doing okay here.
> I wonder if the Netherlands would be a good place to experiment with the libertarian approach of just legalizing everything.

No, for two reasons. First the political climate here is turning against legalization. We are pushing back on the free sale of weed, and production was never legalized, and attempts at legalizing production are consistently pushed back.

Second, our production of non-weed is inherently criminal. Legalizing it will only give these criminal enterprises a legitimate facade. The production is part of a bigger criminal organization, so legalizing it won't actually turn them away from crime. The criminal organizations are not 'small time doing crime to pay the bills'. Our most notorious captured criminal was recently suspected to be attempting to hire mercenaries from the Balkans (I forget which country) to break him out of prison with a helicopter escape. That is intentional criminality.
I don't believe that at all. I can believe an initial loss of some amount of money, but there's no way everyone completely ignored it for years.

Like, how hard do you have to try to lose 8 Billion dollars and not know how?

I'd bet on them hoping they could make the money back after losing it, and just digging successively deeper holes. They knew what they were doing, and excuses are all about avoiding decades of well-deserved prison for the amount of people they've fucked over.

I would expect "y" to remain unbound, as in "not enough information".

When evaluated, the "if" expression is added to the "knowledge store", so that it will be evaluated when "x" is bound elsewhere, giving "y" the corresponding value (just "1" or just "2", never "(1|2)") only after that.

I have no reason (also lacking expertise to judge all); I found it a good summary and that's why I ask if anyone else has a reason.

Good point about the examples. There's an ancient injunction to not multiply examples unnecessarily, but in this day and age of general literacy and nearly free storage, we probably do well to offer a grand variety of examples and let readers pick and choose the ones they wish to contemplate.

> It made one small tweak to gravity, and all of a sudden we can successfully predict a range of galaxy properties

MOND gets one or two properties of galaxies correct, at the cost of messing up huge numbers of other observed facts about the universe (such as the abundances of chemical elements or the CMB power spectrum).

Also, you should realize that MOND in itself is not actually a theory of nature. You can't just "hack" Newton's 2nd law, because that law is a consequence of other, more fundamental principles. If you want to modify gravity, you have to modify General Relativity. There have been many attempts to modify GR in order to create a MOND-like theory, but they tend to fail in various ways (again, by predicting things that are empirically false). So far, GR passes every empirical test of gravity physicists have come up with.
> Side note: Let’s not make this political

Oh but the entire issue is political. You can't talk about accepting or rejecting cops without being political. You can't say some action is cruel and some is not without being political. That's like saying you want to shame FIFA for the way the current World Cup is organized without being political.
The last sentence of the article mentions Trump and it is likely triggering to some of his supporters. Neo-liberal is a term frequently used in that circle.
It's not a great comparison, the environments seem to be mixed together rather than installed clean / separately. For example xfce lists mate-screensaver and kalendarc - I don't think you'd see that on a pure-xfce system.
I can see this as positive — the web 2.0 idiocy of social media is going to disappear, and we'll hopefully see more smaller groups with more interesting conversations. HN is leading the pack, and this is the only place I really go to anymore.

Web 2.0 products like Linkedin, Twitter, and even newer ones like Nextdoor are optimizing for terrible interactions.

I miss the old 90's kind of forum interactions, where civilized, deeper conversations reigned. I think the only way this can be done is with smaller, more "aligned" communities, and strong moderation tools, team, and policies.

> a strategic tie-up that complements the cloud business.

it's a strange strategic tie up - i mean, it's strategic in terms of cloud business and enterprise products, but many companies buy microsoft enterprise products and services, and you don't see MS purchase equity shares of said companies.

Microsoft isn't an investment holding company - i would argue that microsoft shareholders would prefer that microsoft return capital back to shareholders, if they cannot find a suitable investment, rather than purchase equity holdings in a company that does not produce business synergy.
I agree the graph thing is not very a "basic" example. I have another one :
Someone asked me recently how to change the luminosity on GNOME. I looked at the keyboard but saw no sun icon so I turned to the system tray... No icon either. I, in turn, asked someone else

"Oh, just click the volume icon"

Turns out there is a whole panel of unrelated settings hidden you can see either clicking on the logout button or volume button... It's actually the same button. I am generally against hiding settings in menus and submenus but if you're going to, can it at least be a universal cog icon?

Seems more like the product of an artist-architect willing to sacrifice everyday usability to commit to his "vision". In our case the system tray must look symmetric and bare. I do want tools not get in my way but not out of the picture.
Came here to say the same. A good example is low-quality sunglasses that don't block UV light. Pupils dilate when wearing sunglasses, because there's less light coming in. Dilated pupils let more UV light in compared to naked eye vision. Subjective experience might be relief, yet it's at the cost of long-term retinal health.
I think one must squint a lot to see Julia as a fortress descendant. They seem much more like siblings trying to solve similar problems. Like fortress, Julia does have a reasonable amount of CL/Dylan ancestry with multimethods, etc, but didn’t try any of the fortress style efforts around typeclasses and writing varied code that magically parallelises – you can still get good perf doing typical vectorised stuff like numpy/APL/R, and you get decent perf in loops etc due to the jit and aggressive monomorphisation, and there is fancy stuff for clusters or gpu arrays, but it doesn’t try to achieve the things fortress wanted like making it easy to write code that can be more magically parallelised.

Precedent by other court decisions is still relevant for law interpretation in Germany. BVG and BGH decisions are law-like. With a somewhat good argument any court decision can become a good template for a case.

The opposite is also interesting to observe: In common law countries the written law also becomes more and more fine grained limiting jurisdical law making.

It's not very relevant to tell people of Ukraine what they should be thinking or identifying as. Even the very first narodniks of the Russian Empire realized the big cultural differences between Ukrainians and Russians. Estonians and Finns are very similar in ways regarding culture and language, yet distinctly different as well. You wouldn't deny Estonia's existence and relegate it to some mistake made by Trotsky in 1918 when he failed to conquer the nation.

All oauth tokens are authorized by users. So GitHub sees the app and sees the users who authorized the app. Users are responsible for all the bots that act in their names.

Otherwise it would be quite simple to write a malbot and then claim innocence because it was the bot doing it, not me.

I think the approach to automation is best when the authority and responsibility always ties back to an individual or group.
It's really good at conveying information and summarizing the most prominent points of view on a topic. If your goal is just to get a quick, fact-based overview without any color or fluff, I think it already tops what the vast majority of humans can do.

I'm finding myself reaching for it instead of Google or Wikipedia for a lot of random questions, which is pretty damn impressive. It's not good at everything, but I'm rather blown away by how strong it is in the 'short informative essay' niche.
Hopefully we won't see the same problems here where legitimate users are banned for being AIs.

I doubt that will be so much of a problem with ChatGPT since I don't think it can make high quality comments in the way that SD can make 'high quality' art.

My guess is that binance is technically insolvent (negative net assets) but not yet factually insolvent (still able to meet day-to-day liquidity needs), and without a major turn in the crypto market, has no chance of rectifying their technical insolvency, and are playing for time with regards to their factual insolvency.

> Would it be so weird if Microsoft bought a % of eBay? Or Coinbase?

i would guess it is strange. Microsoft isn't a holding company like Berkshire is, and i would imagine that the decision to invest in equities should be made separately by shareholders themselves, instead of having microsoft make the choice.

Unless if the equity purchase has business synergy to microsoft's existing businesses, i don't see why they did it.

I remember that when my father upgraded for a k6 II machine I adopted his old pentium 100mhz (overclocked from 90) with 40MB of ram and it was less than snappy in win98.

It was actually the reason I started using linux, to maximise the use of the resources. On win98 that machine was pretty much single task while on linux I could use command line and tui applications to play music, work on a school document with abiword or staroffice, chat with irc/ICQ/jabber while browsing with netscape/mozilla then phoenix/firebird. On windows 98 listening to mp3 on winamp audio was quickly stuttering if I was doing other stuff at the same time.

Tabbing windows, instant response when clicking buttons. It is night and day when comparing to windows. I use it all day, rarely reboot, and it never lags. My phone lags way more than desktop even. It is a desktop that gets out of your way :)

The downside is it makes using MS windows very frustrating (I keep thinking I must have missed clicked due to delays), but I don't have to use windows much thankfully.
> Based on what Ive seen, I strongly believe that chatGPT responses to many questions are better than a non human expert in many cases.

I disagree - it can't even do basic logic/maths reliably. See this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33859482

Someone in that thread also gave an example of ChatGPT saying that 3 * pi is an irrational number while 25 * pi is a rational number... Two quotes by ChatGPT:

> when you multiply an irrational number by a rational number (in this case, 3), the result is still an irrational number.

> when you multiply a rational number by an irrational number, the result is a rational number.

The implication of the argument that the above comment was responding to was that the design of the language was driven by predictions for what the metaverse would be like and what that would imply about the needs of a programming language. I agree that the OP doesn’t seem to really try to predict that. I’m sceptical that a language like this will catch on in Unreal but maybe if that is the motivating use-case it will drive some interesting and practical language features. Will have to wait and see.
