how about something as simple as following what greatest investor that ever lived Warren Buffet does? Pick a few companies, do a finacial colonoscopy on them, learn their business inside out and then go all in. over 50% of his investments are in two companies (me too, just not same as his), over 75% in 6 companies…

> Science evolves as does technology, and inevitably both factors will change over the coming decades. To base your life around the worst case predictions of models (where the disaster moment keeps pushing back as time progresses) is not logical.

Operating on the basis of the most extremist "worst case" scenarios that are very unlikely (like your "peak oil" example) probably doesn't make too much sense, but it's probably not a bad thing to be rather pessimistic about these sort of things when making policy.

We can take no thought for the morrow and trust that future technology will sort it all out. Maybe it will, but what if it doesn't? There are no guarantees and hard constraints on our physical universe and planet. It certainly wouldn't be the first time in history human-made ecological changes caused large problems.

Or we can be more pessimistic today. Maybe it will later turn out that won't have been necessary, but it still would have been the smart thing to do as a matter of risk management, since we couldn't have known in the past how things would work out in the future.

As with all things, you can of course exaggerate, but it's a mistake to throw our the baby with the bathwater because some extremist said something extreme.
Whether, and to what extent, a given Turing test session probes understanding depends on what the interrogator chooses to ask. The training of ChatGPT does not contain any explicit bias towards demonstrating an understanding of anything, and it seems that a reasonably determined and detached interrogator should have little difficulty in identifying it on this basis.

This is not true. ChatGPT can give very accurate information for safety situations. For example, you can describe a complicated emergency scenario with many injuries and it will correctly perform a triage.
Thanks for sharing, big congrats! Do you feel there were others that tried a similar path but failed ? And why do you think that is ? E.g: do you think if you started over from today you would have a good chance of creating another service like DO?
I at minimum would like to see tax issues divided into essential and nonessential, and for every nonessential to be voted on by the populace.

Me: I’ve made up a word called “mlaizapf”. Can you count the number of letters?

ChatGPT: Sure! "Mlaizapf" has 8 letters.

--

Me: How about this word: “spoofydoofaplixader”

ChatGPT: Spoofydoofaplixader" has 18 letters.

--

Me: How about the following words: "ghottiaopepinopepotorzey", "zazzamataz", and "maaq"

Gpt: Here are the number of letters in each word:

* "Ghottiaopepinopepotorzey" has 23 letters.

* "Zazzamataz" has 10 letters.

* "Maaq" has 4 letters.

Is there anything else I can help with?

------

It got all of them correct except for "ghottiaopepinopepotorzey" which has 24 letters, not 23.

Very interesting... It seems similar to its math abilities, where it struggles with bigger numbers or more complex problems.

>Even mortgage interest deductions were gutted in the last 4 years.

You lost me here. Mortgage interest deductions are one of the few areas that economists seem uniquely in agreement against. It tends to incentivize the wrong behavior (excessive housing size/mortgages and being a regressive tax that favors the wealthier propertied classes). Just because people like it, does not make it prudent policy.
I recently spoke at a conference, and had some interested audience members approach me after to discuss more. One said he really valued the content and asked if I had published a paper outlining the same. I replied that I had not, but I did write about it in a blog. He said, “Ah, that’s a shame,” and walked away.
The problem is not valuing inclusion, diversity and psychological safety. Those are just the excuses used by bureaucrats to justify removing autonomy. You can promote those values without requiring people to preregister attendees for every party.

I was at a really low point financially and asked for help from a large group of friends to support me and the business I was trying to build and while many friends reached out to help, one of my closest friends said I should be ashamed of myself for begging for money like that when I could just easily go get a job.

I think the hard part of asking for help is that I already feel soooo vulnerable just asking, even the slightest slight can seem like the most brutal attack and drown out the help I do receive.

So I try to remind myself that often if someone is asking for help, they may have had to muster a lot of courage even to ask. Thank you for reminding me of that.
I'm not sure what place you are describing but a place like Chico could easily double their population, and should do so. There are a string of silly towns that are squatting on ideal locations (Chico is one). The state should use its budget to incentivize growth in those places. A town like Chico, or Lodi, or Stockton, or even Sacramento should get slathered in cash if it builds housing in a smart way. The state should pick up the tab for things like pipes and roads and utility undergrounding in smart growth cities.

One person's "essential" is another person's "nonessential". Schools, libraries, military, the EPA and IRS... it's an interesting idea but I don't see how you'll get agreement on what's actually "essential" beyond lawmakers' salaries.
Other things are bad too, but the mortgage interest deduction is bad.

Increasing the standard deduction above what the mortgage interest deduction would have been isn't something an individual should complain about (they are better off), and reducing the amount of principal that is deductible to around 2x the median home sale price isn't exactly screwing over the common man.
On call, but not too worried because most of our breakages are usage based and not much usage on Christmas. I've been paged on Christmas morning before though, so I know how that feels.
Their issue is not with the athletes making lots of money alone. It's that the league is spending so much, and bringing in so much revenue, while also taking taxpayer handouts.
The athletes making huge sums are not the ones we should be concerned about. They are under-paid in most cases relative to their worth to the billionaire individuals and corporations who make gigantic profits from tv rights, ticket sales, merchandise, revenue sharing, etc.
That sounds like a good policy to me as well. I think the “they will do it anyway” logic is a slippery slope, but underage drinking in college is so mainstream that preventing it is a Sisyphean task. IMO it is best to discourage but encourage a safe atmosphere when students inevitably ignore recommendations.

When I interviewed for a high level engineering position at Facebook, the questions I got were were definitely harder than the ones some friends of mine got when interviewing at lower levels. I also had a "System Design Interview" which they did not have.

Ironically I failed the System one because I think the interviewer didn't actually understand the algorithms or solutions and was working off a checklist of expected buzzwords.

I spent about it 30 minutes working through a design with him putting down all my decisions. Halfway through he tells me I don't seem to be aware of this certain data structure which is necessary, so he'll tell it to me: A quadtree.

My original choice was an R-Tree, I tried to tell him it's faster for windowed queries, more accurate when it comes to large locations. The only real downside relative to a quadtree is slower inserts and deletes [0]. He just kept looking at his second monitor and telling me "Well this says a quadtree is the most efficient method". Couldn't tell me why, just that his notes say so.

[0] we had discussed at the start of the question, expectations of 1B queries/day, with an acceptable update latency of 24 hours.

You have no idea, I’m only here myself to represent my boss’s condescending attitude and tone on whatever strikes his interest on HN on any given day.

He can’t be bothered to comment himself but nonetheless has the XKCD “There’s someone wrong on the internet!” complex so I get stuck posting here. I’m safe writing this since he also makes me cherry pick any replies to read back to him, doesn’t do it himself.

All in all I guess it’s not so bad though, better than writing condescending & mild legal threats to bloggers whose work you boss ripped off.

Having read the "cultural Marxism" thread, I did not get the impression of "Nazi". I'd have to go find it, but I thought it was stupid and wrong, but really not that bad – certainly not as bad as people make it out to be, which just seems to hinge on the usage of a particular phrase. Even "evil leftist world-conspiracy" doesn't really apply IIRC, which is not the same as "Nazi" in any case. Have people forgotten that the genocide of millions of people was at the core of Nazi ideology?

Yes! Most of the examples of “challenging” algorithms in the blog post are actually fairly elementary stuff covered in undergrad algorithms. Suffix arrays though (especially linear-time construction) are the real deal.

My experience shows that more risk = more reward, and if you are careful and a student of history, you can take risk properly without blowing up.

For anyone reading this thread, just follow the path of EMH to it conclusion - trying to make an investment in a single asset is for fools. Clearly this is wrong!!!
I think the downvoting is in part that whether or not you like something may not be material to the discussion. If you don’t like police/schools/highways it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fund it with tax dollars. I think the central argument is whether or not a stadium is a public good and worthy of tax funds.
If you're not observing the outside world, then the reference frames "at rest" and "moving at a constant speed" are indistinguishable.

Climbing a staircase requires the same amount of work as climbing a down-escalator. The escalator "wants" to accelerate when you do work on it, but instead this work gets dumped into the braking mechanism, in order to maintain a constant speed.

I tried SL in 2011. I was able to get some avatar add-ons for free. My favorite add-on was a Tux (Linux mascot) doll. Due to poor 3D graphics, the doll looked like its semi-detached to my avatar and moves with my avatar without any animation. It was ridiculously irrelevant, but I enjoyed the game.

Curious if anyone else had that same add-on.
I don't think this is a bold statement at all. I agree with you about "pretty consistently", but that is not consistent enough for many uses.

Let's say I want my maps application to know whether a building is commercial or residential. Some buildings have building=residential, others have building=yes or building=oui, and others just have landuse=commercial (or landuse=residential, suburban, quarter, suburb, neighbourhood, or residential=yes, or residential=apartments). This is not the worst-case scenario; we can write an interpreting adapter for these tags. But somewhere in the world, there will be edge-case tags the adapter won't handle. And it is challenging to use that approach for applications that tens of thousands of users will see and scrutinize.
How long did the battery sit in 14F after driving 120 miles? If I charge right after a 120 mile trip, that'd be fine. Also, are you saying the car is in 14F, or it is 14F outside and your car is in the garage? My car is outside (I use my garage as a shop).

Probably some people but in some store the scales are so picky that it malfunctions every 6 items and you need to pick up and put the item down again. And heavens forbid you want to move a bag in the checkout area.

Some stores have more forgiving systems than others but the bad ones are really awful. I don't mind self-checkout in the stores where the machines aren't such a pain in the ass.
I certainly believe that. There's still a lot of value in taking a few psychedelic trips and research is showing they might even be therapuetic for depressed people. That was the case for me. But for people without depression there's still value in taking a look at and questioning the belief systems you were raised in to see if there's anything you might change to make an improvement.

The consumer price index has been relatively flat since the Fed started raising interest rates.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/consumer-price-in...

The generally quoted inflation rate compares now to this time last year – so until next June, it includes the increases that happened before the Fed decided there was a problem.

This is useful in a lot of contexts, but if you want to know whether prices will be higher next month, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to use a lagging indicator.
Well, that and corporations have been pointing the finger at inflation, raising prices without meaningful competition, and we see profits at record levels. [1]

Which is to say, the cost of labor has not been increasing that fast. Though, it's not a single faceted issue. I want to emphasize that. With that said, I do suspect this inflationary era has a slightly different character than previous due to a very different corporate landscape (eg: it wasn't previously the case that there were only 3 main airlines, just a couple companies owning the more than majority of grocers, etc..)

Shameful conduct. And as a counterpoint to "nobody cares about your blog", a few days back I got a referee report asking me to cite a Twitter thread. This one: https://twitter.com/NilsEnevoldsen/status/152096733265462476...

Apologies, I was on mobile and didn't attempt the specific request.. My bad. This strategy works for most of the arithmetic problems fed into chatgpt when it's given a wrong answer as input. I now asked chatgpt this question; then followed up with the question of “How can two kilograms of feathers have a different mass to two kilograms of bricks?” where it clearly confuses volume, weight, and mass. Rephrasing the question in terms of a weight measure such as pounds or asking it which has more mass returns the correct answer. It also returns a correct answer if you first tell it that you are using kilograms as a measure of weight, it does know a few of the nuances here.

However we seem to be discussing different things, I scrolled up and did not see any reference to intelligence in my post -which I would agree the model does not have. The model does have the ability to reason on specific tasks. Reasoning is a relatively well defined concept with both qualitative and quantitative assessment. There are even benchmarks and datasets for different types of reasoning tasks.
Just make it simple. Take the cost of the stadium as a no recourse loan against the team. All of a sudden stadiums get produced with "any" level of scrutiny. It's far too easy to ask for more handouts for luxuries when you're not paying the bill.

They used to have a more flexible strain relief https://i.imgur.com/yAywo.jpg

Over time their strain relief has gotten shorter or longer https://cdn0.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/03...

So a lot of people's memories about Apple's strain relief may come from one of their darker periods when they were super short, stiff and useless.

In my personal experience their previous laptop MagSafe had absolutely useless strain relief and mine would always start going bad within 6-12 months. https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13878908/2...

The current braided MagSafe cables actually have zero visible strain relief but seem like they're simply stronger, mine has held up well so far.
Just replacing a lot of old urban single-family homes with triplexes would be enough to get significantly ahead of housing issues in many major US cities, including in California.

Unfortunately, the sheer regulatory expense of new housing is such that it's not worth it for anyone to try any project short of big apartment/condo buildings.
I have a bold proposal for solving the streets in city crisis:

Between buildings, build an elevated walkway above the roads. With ventilation these walkways could cover a large part if not all of the area above roads. Promote social spaces, commerce areas, and open areas between buildings without sacrificing cars. Just build above them.
