So, I made up a name and asked it this question. It is so keen to answer a question it will given an answer without even knowing what the heck it's talking about:

Q)how old is barry chambers?
A) Barry Chambers is 28 years old.

Q)who is that?
A)It is not clear who this person is; however, based on the context, it seems that you are asking about Barry Chambers, who is 28 years old.

edit: I asked it to give me the URL where it found that information and it came from a private or non-existant LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barry-chambers-a1b857a7/

So, is it scraping private linkedin profiles or just making them up?
I will hire people for sure. I can manage numbers and people, not a farm.

Best thing is to profit share with a farmer. When you make money they make money.
Wow, that's really shitty from googles part.
Rationally, this all ought to make sense. But, somehow, people still flock back to the confident fraudsters, even when they know they're fraudsters.

There was a guy in Russia who became famous as the organizer of the largest financial pyramid in the country's history; it all fell apart very publicly, with many people losing their savings, and the guy was on the run for years until finally caught and convicted in yet another highly publicized court. That's it, right?

But literally as soon as he was out of prison, he starts a new company. Same exact name as before. And he openly advertised it as a financial pyramid this time! One year later, he walked away with millions more. And they couldn't even sue him for it because he was completely honest about the finances!

Then he went on to do the same shit but with crypto in other countries: India, China, Nigeria, Peru, Ghana, Thailand...

>Manipulate, how?

Myriads of ways. For an example, consider a virtue signalling issue, greenwashing. Greenwashing is employing green marketing, without actually committing to green causes. By doing this, many choose the product, company or service to be more conscious of nature. But in the end, the promises are not kept, and the customer is already out of their money. So, manipulation for pay happened.

>No one purchases anything to become addicted.

Of course they don't, that's not what I meant, obviously. They get addicted in the meantime of consuming. I think a timely example is mobile games, as detailed in for example this article: https://www.nbcnews.com/better/lifestyle/why-mobile-games-ar...

>Then once purchased they'll find it was a waste.

Yes, but they are already out of money, and the recourse is not worth it, unavailable, or otherwise hindered. The result is that many don't return the product or react in any way - and that's how this business model works.

>So it's useful to gain access to something else?

If it needs to be made useful, it's not useful. It's like console exclusive games. It's not a natural thing, the software could probably be made to run in other environments easily, but they are artificially restricted, and they spin that as an advantage to the console. It's nonsense.

>No normal person willingly spends money that they know is a waste ahead of time.

Let's not muddy the argument with "normal person". First of all, these tactics are exactly targeted at the so-called normal people. Second, there's is nothing abnormal in belonging to any group of people that get taken advantage of, like young men getting roped into redpill, incel, PUA things. The dismissal of labeling these experiences as abnormal is part of what creates even more of this thing.
True, but if you can imagine someone even more conservative - my grandfather (and father) had a lot of respect for Buffett but considered him to be a reckless gambler.

I once sold 1000 BTC for about $10k, for reasons largely similar to the ones that kept my grandfather from entering the stock market. I think putting $10k into an index fund probably seemed just as insane to most people in 1942 as keeping $10k in Bitcoin seemed to me in 2012.

In addition to having run a casino, I'm a reformed gambling addict (as long as you don't leave me alone in Vegas for too long). Part of overcoming gambling addiction and its manifestations in everyday behaviour is that I don't second-guess decisions I make out of being too conservative or, in other words, feel regret for pocketing my gains and walking away. That way lies ruin. And also, as a gambler, I'm an optimist, so I don't think I missed my one-and-only chance to make 50x my money. There's always another spin right around the corner.
Do "pie" and "cake" mean something different in the US? Because both are great, I wouldn't say there's even a comparison.
New twist on old idea is a new thing too.

Context is everything.
> How addictive would a game have to be that we’d throw people in jail for making it?

Oof, that is a really good one.
So here's the thing.

- Politics are really important actually

- Those disagreements will still be there

Your racist uncle (or, ok fine, your grating progressive auntie) will still hold those views tomorrow.

OTOH fighting will probably only make things worse.

Suggest instead meaningful, loving, gentle conversations that are permitted to range across many subjects, including politics.

This is the time of year when life presents you with opportunities to practice. They are precious :D

> You inherit an asset that you are forced to liquidate in order to afford the inheritance taxes on that asset.

It is worth speaking with an estate lawyer or accountant. There are strategies to avoid this that differ based on country, but insurance usually plays a role. It is, in my opinion, unfair that someone would be forced by taxes to sell the birthright that their parent spent a lifetime working for. Good luck.
Heck, 8k trees is a lot. Definitely find a professional. Growing coffee is exceptionally difficult.

Do you have an idea which crops have been planted? Is the plantation in a favorable location (altitude, weather)?

Depending on both, you should become clear about whether you want to produce commodity coffee or specialty coffee. The latter is more difficult to produce, but also more profitable.

If you're going the specialty route, it may even be fruitful (hah!) to get in contact with content creators. They usually have useful contacts in the industry, and they might be willing to connect you.

In any case, try to get in touch with European roasters, as they usually value traceability and prefer to roast single origin coffees.

Best of luck! And enjoy the journey.

Oh, and if you had your first batch, please drop me a message. I know a few local roasters (Germany) that may be interested in new sources. :-)
I'm not exactly sure what you mean?
I suspect asking if it's fair that Jesus was a nepo baby who only got to where he is because he has a famous dad is the kind of question that could only be cooled down by changing the subject to post Nixon POTUS tax returns.

There are currently at least two (or maybe the same with separate accounts) very popular poets on Reddit who make poetic comments to posts.
Let’s not forget half the programmers working today are below average. So CRUD programs are fine when created and maintained for years to decades by people in the middle of the bell curve. But everyone’s going to touch code created by terrible programmers, if nothing else when they are getting started.

The only real option for most projects to improve quality is simply keeping the same team members for a several years as they improve. This does get increasingly expensive over time, so few companies try that hard to maintain people yet the world stumbles along.
Very good chance that it goes the way of Kodak - they have access to better tech, but it never gets implemented because it eats into their existing business.
British poet John Cooper Clarke [1] is still actively reading poetry aloud for fun and profit these days.

American greed and taste for fraud at its finest…

I sincerely hope the teenagers of today don’t believe too much of what’s shown on instagram and youtube, what values it sends (on any kind of topic), because otherwise we’re doomed as a society.
It is highly subjective, and I think that helps me make my point.
The subjective view point we get now is that of OpenAIs.

I will give you two examples of content of various degrees of seriousness where the harmfulness is determined by how it's used.

1.
Prompting the AI to write a highly racist speech.

It can be used as an actual speech by an actual racist to further their agenda.
It can also be used in a book to depict a racist character.
If the rest of the book depicts this character as a lunatic, the effect is the opposite of the first use case.

2.
Prompting the AI to write a recipe involving human faeces

If used to serve a person actual human faeces, it's most likely harmful to that person.
If used as a joke, it's not.

As you said, it's content moderation. The models are capable of producing this content, but it's being moderated by OpenAI (who can still write as many poop recipes as they want).

I don't think this is the same as moderating the contents of a social media platform (for example). This technology can be used for such a wide range of applications that it seems dangerous that it should be moderated on this end, as opposed to where the results are potentially published.

EDIT: I'll give you another example. I actually used ChatGPT to clean up the english (second language) in my original post. There's no way of knowing that it would just refuse to do this tomorrow, or change the overall sentiment of the message.
“this kind of data collection isn’t illegal“

And where it is, there's so much more that's also illegal that just about any nasty thing can be hidden between the trivialities of the resulting consent banner dance.

OS level protections are truly the least bad thing because they can also set arbitrary thresholds that would be impossible to define in law.
Pass is nice, but I prefer KeepassXC because it's multi platform, Linux, MacOS X, Windows, Mobile and also command line, and you don't have to trust an online service not to be breached
I didn't mention quietly patching over a deficiency. I suspect that (without bad intention) you're reading something that's not there into what I wrote.

Side note: The whole point of unpleasant non-recurring one-off issues is that it's difficult to find or come up with tools to address them. Tools start making sense when stuff is recurring.
There are tons of people who read poetry for fun -- they leave their physical homes (!) and travel to this café down the street from me, where, on the night of the Tuesday, they do indeed bring their works and with one another "slam".

There is also hip hop, of course -- which saved my life, probably others as well -- halfway between music and verse
The top most result is just the npm core documentation. The first reference to -D is 658 words down, whereas ChatGPT has a precise answer.

It's not just better, it's miles better.
Sounds like it’s not “safer”, it’s just safer.
The challenges with most modern software are more long-term maintenance, extensibility and quality vs. actual hard engineering problems, but that doesn't mean that those problems are boring or trivial, as evidenced by the unmaintainable mess that many codebases are.
Partner with someone who already has a leg or very obvious affinity in it. Don’t do everything by yourself.

That’s rule number 1 in life, in general, for everything: invite guests to bring something they like/manage to the table.

In a perfect scenario you would be able to use a reproducible build [0], for Android you can actually get Bitwarden from F-Droid [1] which uses those reproducible builds.

For Google play store, there was also that developers needed to sign their apps before releasing to stores, so you knew that it came from developer, but Google removed that when they introduced app bundles. There is still a way to verify if the build is the same as developer provided, but automatic protections that were there are now gone [2]

Not necessarily wrong, but you might have to try doing things differently and it might work or not. Meson is certainly less mature than CMake, on the other hand it's much harder to go down a rabbit hole of "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" and consequent technical debt.

I can see how that can be frustrating. My experience with QEMU's transition to meson is that it was clear from the beginning that Meson would not be able to do everything we needed, but it would let us focus on the few things that are special (e.g. building tests for dozens of targets using dozens of cross compilers) and simplify everything else.

It was not easy: it involved several contributions to meson itself (that everybody now benefits from, for example Postgres), and we do have to live with a couple limitations of the tool, but the outcome was extremely positive:

* 4000 less lines of build system gunk

* A lot fewer requests for help even from experienced developers

* Several new features that required build system hacking could be implemented much more easily

* A transition that did not a require any learning curve for existing developers, because trivial changes to the build system remained trivial

Of course there is still complexity, QEMU still has 11000 lines of build system code. But it was totally worth it.
They are focusing on their work and occasionally on the overall team goals while the team lead is doing the opposite.

Why have leadership of any kind? Why not just workers committees? :-)
This compares different mini languages. -D works as “result not includes D”, at least it worked that way before.

Search for “what is npm install D” instead.
Honestly code elegance is less important than raw productivity.
Taking anything away breaks backwards compatibility, so that’s a problem. I agree, though, that this means we should be really hesitant to keep piling on features.
I believe spicy foods kill certain types of gut parasites.

So at some point in our evolutionary history some weirdo who liked a bit of spice was born, burned the parasites out of their gut, and then with their increased health and no calories being stolen natural selection did the rest.
Wealth is not a zero sum game. But it is not possible for one person to create a billion dollars of wealth for other people. What creates wealth is actual productive labor, not some kind of vision.
If that is how it is, then be public about it. Don't pretend to treat everyone equally. Pretending otherwise is the most despicable issue regarding this.
I'm struggling to find a use case where entertainment and "profitable market place" don't collide therefore turning it into work.

Once there is real value on the table won't its extraction be optimized as hell by a small group of determined "entrepreneurs".

It seems that my (casual Gamer) position will always quickly turn into "customer" in this case. Then it's just a plain old microtransaction (for varying sizes of micro) game.

Many people enjoy those (weirdly enough) but once again blockchain adds little.
The trick is that usually what you require is boilerplate until you don't need boilerplate, where the "not boilerplate" parts are hard to predict ahead of time, and configuration files are pretty bad at this as it's usually difficult to "break out" of the configuration.

Very high level frameworks like Rails are probably a better fit for this where you can write simple operations extremely easily, but it's still all just code that can be customized when you need to make small tweaks.

You’re conflating the way it’s built, with the things it’s doing. Your argument could also be « neurons are just blobs of atoms exchanging electric signal, it’s not intelligence »

Yes, at the end it’s just a huge n-dimensional cube of numbers. But that’s my point : can human-level intelligence be built on top of that ? I was just as skeptical as you for this reason (and many others more important in my opinion, such that those machines don’t have any personal embodied experience of the information they manipulate, and as such meaning shouldn’t be able to emerge from them). But looking at the facts i have to admit i’m at least partially wrong.
On the other hand, he seems okay rejecting the USA-centric concept of race and says that I'm correct when I suggest that fighting against discriminations as a whole would be more productive. In my experience with the woke American perspective, these views get a lot of pushback. The conversation kinds of made me think of someone having views that slightly differs from the norm but walks on eggshells either because the subject is very serious/important and/or because this is the only way to make people accept to have a conversation with you.

Considering the online discourse, "racism is a very touchy subject, be careful when talking about it" sounds like a reasonable approach and something that I would expect someone reasonably smart to do.

When I straight up asked about racism against white people, he told me that it existed, though he called it "prejudice" or "discrimination", he didn't use the word "racism" to describe it.

That would suggest to me that what you were experiencing in your conversation may be an error rather than an ideological stance.
I saw the Social Dilemma 5-6 days back and since then I have been little vary of touching my phone. Since yesterday morning I had been putting my phone deliberately in other room and I certainly feel spiked in terms of energy. I guess I will do same thing for HN and Reddit.

There's a lot of talk about "safety" here that I think back in 2018 I interpreted as guard rails towards some sort of rogue AGI.

"and to avoid enabling uses of AI or AGI that harm humanity or unduly concentrate power."

The current restrictions seem like the opposite of this goal.
Ah, sorry! I haven't used templates much and an interpolation inside a string triggered my "oh shit security problem" sense.
Sure if you want to make it to VP it’s very hard to do it as an IC. But then again it’s hard to make VP as a manager as well (outside of title inflation or working at a very small startup).

It’s just a numbers game. 50 engineers, 6 EMs, 2 directors and 1 VP.

The amount of meetings a VP attends is insane. That coupled with the diminishing marginal utility of money makes me question anyone who sets that as their explicit goal though.

You put the info in a notes app or you keep searching again.

The better solution would be to make an AI like ChatGPT for home use and throw everything personal at it. Such an AI would be able to fetch whatever you request with abilities to transform that data. It would just not be knowledge base but provider of information to the user that's most relevant to him.

Any other approach does not seem scalable after some time. This AI should obviously be self hosted but since that is not possible atm we will have to bear with our dumb notes, journal apps for now.
