How do you assess whether the information from ChatGPT is correct? It's downfall is that it very convincingly produces false information. At least in a Google search you can compare multiple sources, and blogspam is usually easy to filter out once you're good at identifying it. In ChatGPT, good and bad results look equally plausible.
No but the new super chargers going in next year will have a built in ccs adapter in the US. In Europe they all currently use the European version of ccs
Thanks for the thoughtful response, I wonder if there is any sort of actual research on that topic (like something that looks at the rate/direction/trajectory of performance) - although I understand that's very hard to reliably measure.

^--- Taps sign

The above does not imply that I'd only consider conference speakers, right? (Although, there are a lot of conferences!) For some roles, contributions to relevant software would be the right standard.
Google promised to index the world's information but ended up a noisy advertising platform that intrudes into all our lives. We sacrificed our privacy for the convenience of search, let's hope we don't have to for much longer.

No, rich people think about money, debt, and cash flow very differently.

There are also a lot of bad actors at the upper end that are facilitating a global ponzi scheme at our expense, and they will be bailed out over and over again because they've made it impossible for competing banks to enter the market through lobbied regulation that came as a response to their bad behavior.

Read up about the creation of the fed, what they've done, how many bailouts they've done, how many people were held accountable, you'll find it always ends in their favor. Behaviors that would send individuals to jail for decades are avoided by paying a small piece of the proceeds they get from those frauds disguised as penalties. Its been baked into the system.

Worse, many people immediately jump to something along the lines of "well that's people being greedy and its a downside of capitalism and we have to do something about that".

The problem with those people is, they don't know what they are talking about because its not capitalism, you often get monopolies in socialism, and while capitalistic societies are driven by a division of labor, socialistic economic systems are driven by corruption, and what are our the major issues right now? Corruption.

> I asked ChatGPT how ECDSA works

I’d search for ECDSA, find and read a textbook, or even primary sources. I’d read other peoples code, but I prefer to write my own, or at least re-write it. I’d look for answers on Stack Exchange, but I’d rarely ask my own. I prefer documentation over tribal knowledge. I never fully trust what other people say, because (at best) much can be lost in communication.

Some people prefer to ask others for help, and those people will probably like using AI. Some people prefer to try and figure out stuff for themselves and they are not going to want to rely on AI any more than they’d want to rely on a colleague for answers.

And in the future, managers are going to be looking at the people relying on AI and wondering if they can just cut out the middleman.
You say “brute forcing” in a sort of derogatory way - as someone completely ignorant in this tech, what makes that a poor solution? Is power wasted somehow? It seems to achieve what the user wants.
Quite creative! I like the DNA-like margin design
2nd lowest is gold; 2nd highest is platinum (behind diamond). I usually get to platinum and, except for the bus routes (to/from ATL), I get first class upgrades on almost 75% of my domestic segments. Add in ATL segments (full of diamond flyers) and it’s probably down to the 50% you mention for gold. It’s very route specific.

I have noticed a lot of domestic first-class seats or post-purchase upgrades have become cheaper during COVID to get the airline some revenue from that seat rather than upgrading you or I.

59 MB Android app. No, thanks.
From where I happen to stand, I see four camps or so:

I have no doubt that there are more ways to segment people in terms of how they view math, then the simple model I mentioned. That just happens to be the divide that I feel like I see most commonly and that often leads to fruitless discussions.

they replied that anybody who does mathematics is a mathematician.

The problem with that is the definition of "doing mathematics". And that's where I see the divide I mentioned above. Some people would consider "finding the derivative of f(x) = x/x^2 to be "doing math" whereas other people say that's "mere computation" and think of math only as things like "proving why the derivative of f(x)=x/x^2 is $WHATEVER".

I suppose one might say the former is "using math" where the latter is "doing math", but in popular usage it seems like people freely intermix those notions, and people who feel strongly about it one way or the other get their knickers all wadded up over it and hilarity ensues.
The web is bloated. Hopefully openAI will pay directly the information providers. Which also means that the information will not make it to the public web. Which is just as well, after 30 years of giving out our information for free thinking we are contributing to some democratized web, we ended up with the web being 4 monopolies which compete for locking down access

Ahh yes, it's only a couple of bad apples and not the system in place that's enabling their behavior
It's worth pointing out that Kodak did pioneer digital photography but were too early for it to be affordable with acceptable quality for the average consumer. In niche fields like photo-journalism they were the king of digital until they weren't.
I was wondering recently whether AIs like ChatGPT had the potential to break search engines. Already today, I often end up on useless machine-generated pages (typically if I want a comparison between two "things" and type "A vs B"). Until now it's been pretty easy to see that it was machine-generated. But that will probably change.

Also, already today, depending on the topic, the search engine is completely useless and I end up going straight to e.g. Wikipedia or Stackoverflow or a reference website I trust (e.g. I want a technical explanation about how something works, and my search engine shows me ten pages on tutorials about where to click on my phone to use that something). Again, ChatGPT will make it easy to generate such low-quality content.

Long story short, I was wondering if that would bring RSS back: that would allow me to manually aggregate websites I trust. Maybe I could trust a friend and transitively trust the feeds they trust (à la PGP, even though PGP trust rings seem to be hated :)).

That would close the loop: algorithms came to help organise the growing quantity of data, then started flooding the world with generated data (what they were initially built to control). And now somehow we would have to go back to manual treatment using old school trust (with RSS, or similar), because AIs can't differentiate the good content from the bad one.

Delayed is good, but not exactly a win. It would be nice if the IRS ever bothered to go after the upper end of tax dodgers lying their way into millions of dollars instead of nickle-and-dimeing the underclass for selling a few things on ebay.

It's painful to contrast a proposed $600 ebay reporting rule against reports that the IRS just didn't bother to do the _mandated_ audits of our former president just accepting the declaration that he owed $0 without question.

It's part of a broad pattern of the wealthy controlling class just getting away with everything all the time without consequence. While a pocket of weed will get you years behind bars if you weren't born into influence.
An uncool thing about this is that it essentially bypasses the github profile privacy settings. It also shows data from deleted repositories.

ChatGPT or any other LLM that wants to be an expert system will face same problem that Google faced 20 years ago. In the sea of factual and nonfactual information available, what is the correct information? You need to train the model with the correct information to get correct result. Google solved (kinda) the problem with PageRank for the internet, I am still unsure how LLMs will operate here. Currently LLMs are fed very curated information and most of the answers I have seen so far are already available in wikipedia. I do not think ChatGPT will be a internet search replacement but it can be very effective for things where the information available is very reliable and you need quick answers. Eg. Corporate intranet search, BI tools, Manual search etc. Nevertheless very exciting times.
It doesn't.

All these cases are hard to prosecute (or so prosecutors think) because it is often hard to prove intent. So prosecutors have to be aggressive in getting people to flip (and in the media, and building patterns of prosecutions for a novel offence) which often leads to wildly inconsistent sentencing.

I don't think I have seen a group of offences in this area where the sentencing seemed right across the board. It often makes no sense at all (even the decision of who to prosecute seems wrong, there was a case in the UK where a witness to an insider trading case was literally in court, giving evidence and admitted to crimes...nothing happened...he also walked from any prosecution in that case despite him netting tens of millions from insider trading).
This was what I thought the article would hone in on. ChatGPT is very good at generating answers that look correct, and unique, but are wrong. This is gold for SEO focused content creators, as it will generate plenty of engagement with people who don't know enough to be able to fact check the answers they are receiving to their questions.

I foresee this opening an epic echo chamber of "truthy" sounding content, which could potentially make Google's indexing approach useless.
While that sounds tough, that's not a smart negotiation plan at all.

The negotiation will be more beneficial with a scale, based on traded info, that more resembles:

"Your life is over"

"Your life is over until you are retirement age"

"Your life is over until after you go through menopause"

"Your life can restart before you're 30"

Or, you know, just hang tough and get no dirt.
It is difficult for me to believe that this could be true unless their web application has also been hacked.

And if that were the case then this is really getting into criminal negligence territory (especially the way they've been disclosing it).
I did this a bunch during the cheap award flights during the pandemic, when they started counting those toward status points.

I basically skipped getting a coworking spot for a month and would hop on random flights I could book like SAN-JFK round trip same day on delta for only 16,000 skymiles (would net around 5,000 mqms). I would almost always get bumped to first and Deltas wifi is reliable enough to work from the air.

At this point I’ve banked enough MQMs that I just have to hit the spend min on my Amex (easy when you are self employed and can pay taxes on it) to keep platinum for the next 3 years without any flying.
I cant image flying that much. I am old enough to remember pre-911 flying and how much better it was before the TSA and their "Stand here with no shoes while we treat you like a criminal" procedures.

Today if my destination is with in a 10hr drive from me, I am driving. Does not even really cost me that much time as with connections, and security it takes about as long to fly anyway that is assuming it is not delayed or cancelled. Of the 10 flights I have taken in the last 3 years or so, 60% of them had some kind of delay or cancellation during one of the legs.

Plus side I have gotten very good at packing density so I can take a weeks worth of provisions in my carry on backpack easily. No checked bags for me....
> It's basically just CMake, but with a different DSL

... and loads of extra dogma about how projects should be structured that don't match reality, paired with a rude and dismissive BDFL maintainer.
Seems very wasteful to be taking extra, unnecessary flights for perks, no matter how big. I don’t care about the fliers’ money, that’s theirs to do what they want with. But the environmental costs are non-nil (even accounting for the fact that those flights would be going regardless of if they fly on them) and can’t be worth the perks for these privileged few.
Can't wait to see multiple new media adaptions of LOTR when this happens. Though, I doubt it will. New Zealand's tourism industry, film industry, Amazon, etc will lobby pretty hard for an indefinite copyright.

This actually raises an interesting dilema, where the original books copyright ends earlier than the copyright of a film. Does this mean that new LOTR films are still in breach of New Line Cineams copyright over the films, despite them only buying the rights from the Tolkien estate? I wonder if there are any precedents here for movies derived from creative book fiction.
Thank you, that is such an apt parallel, it's got me giggling at the mental image of the CEO, seething frustration radiating out from him, storming from department to department to berate the staff over not having fixed all their problems.
> "Google may be reluctant to deploy this new tech as a replacement for online search, however, because it is not suited to delivering digital ads, which accounted for more than 80 percent of the company’s revenue last year."

So Google had the tech for some time now. But like Sony in the 90s they were reluctant to release it fearing it will hurt their current business.

Therefore someone else had to disrupt the market. Google won't do it to themselves.

I wish more companies would "cock-up" by shipping functional products.
Good point. Twitter, iirc, broke out of the reputation of a pointless microblogging concept "nobody cares what you had for breakfast" to a sort of real time information source, because the media for whatever reason got on board and started pushing what people had tweeted about stuff well before anyone actually cared. Eventually, people did care, and it transformed into the live discussion and reporting hybrid it was recently.

None of that really was on the strength of technical features (which does suggest that headcount reduction was long coming). So where is the "technical" path to taking Twitter to another level?
My experience with trying to use Mseon's CMake integration is that it works just well enough to trick you into thinking that it's a good idea to use, but not well enough to make it actually a good idea.
What?

What you just said is "if someone falsely accuses another person of a crime, and the police arrest them, then the police are guilty of kidnapping", "if someone falsely reports a house fire and fire fighters break into the house to put it out, they are guilty of breaking and entering", etc.

Emergency services respond to the reported emergency, for SWAT that often involves an immediate threat to people's lives, so they come in with the expectation that they will need to use force. Now the increasing occurrence of swatting means that US swat teams should be aware of the possibility of false call outs, but they have to deal with "is this a case where me turning up results in someone killing their family if I don't stop them immediately, or is it a case where some dude on the internet doesn't like someone else?".

The whole point of a swatting is police are being told that the victim is has a gun and is threatening to kill people, which is effective because you get the same call when there is an actual person with a gun threatening to kill people.

Now US SWAT does have an issue (imo) that goes with US policing in general of putting safety of police/swat above anyone else, which is a real issue, but as everyone knows this it merely adds to the "you knew your actions had a significant likelihood of getting someone killed".

Don't bother arguing with Meson contributors. The typical response to realistic use cases like this is to gaslight you into thinking you're doing something wrong.
ARC in Nim does not mean the same thing as in Rust. I'm still not fully up to speed on ARC/ORC nor went very far on Rust, so I might be wrong here, but from what I understand:

In Nim using ARC/ORC the compiler statically checks the memory usage, possibly helped by lent and sink annotations (similar to borrow and lifetime annotations in Rust, but not as powerful yet) and for what can't be proved statically it adds reference counting. And even under ARC you will probably be using stack allocations a lot in Nim.

I think the main difference between Rust and Nim approaches to memory management is opt-in vs opt-out. In Rust you are forced from the start to think about it and be more explicit about it, while in Nim the lifetime annotations are more like optional optimizations that may be added gradually to help the compiler, that might otherwise be adding reference counting and copies behind your back to maintain correctness.

For some use cases, being forced from the start to think in a lower level of abstraction is helpful and makes the performance more predictable and transparent. People still use C partially because of that. But I like Nim's approach where I can use it as productively as an scripting language avoiding premature optimization, but can easily delve as low level as I want to write a keyboard firmware or GBA game.
This was me this year. Went from a Late 2013 MacBook Pro that was an OS behind to an M1 Pro Macbook and also went from a 1st Gen iPad Pro to an M2 iPad Air with Magic Keyboard and Pencil 2.

Everything about the MacBook is better than its predecessor but I was particularly blown away by the iPad Air and the handwriting recognition. I put my 1st gen Apple Pencil in the drawer not long after buying the original iPad Pro and eventually sold it. Now I use my 2nd gen pencil every day and I’m even thinking of buying an iPad mini as a really portable digital notebook.

I get the same pleasure again next year when I finally get to upgrade my iPhone 8 Plus. Battery life on my 8 is terrible now and it will get dropped from OS upgrades next year. I’m probably going to upgrade to a Pro Max because I’ve heard the current generation get 48 hours+ battery. But most exciting of all next year: USB-C!
>This seems like an odd use of 'unprecedented'

so then, what was the precedent in an earlier generation of iPhones where a new set of chips was designed and developed which could be marketed as a leap in performance, but shortly before committing to manufacture they were forced to abandon the plan and roll back to the chips of a previous iPhone generation, leaving marketing with no performance boost to trumpet, especially in the context where the previous generation was also considered a disappointingly marginal improvement over its predecessor?
Movie fans can sue over misleading trailer, says US judge
I've gotten fairly good at using regexes for this kind of thing, but of course those don't work for every case. I don't know of other options for operations that aren't built-in to the language extension

But I will say it's up to the language extension- eg. the rust-analyzer plugin has much more powerful refactoring features than the typescript integration does. So probably what you're talking about, for typescript specifically, is an expansion of features in the official typescript integration. In theory someone could also make an alternate typescript integration, though in practice this would be a huge undertaking and probably isn't worth doing

Not the OP, but “open” is vague, and might plausibly be meant as “public”. HN guidelines say you should respond to the strongest possible interpretation of a comment, not nit-pick:

>” Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.”

That said, OP’s response seems a bit harsh, as what you said wasn’t “false”, it just wasn’t their intended meaning.
Very cool article. It’s quite icy today around the PNW and funny to think of the area being covered in an ice sheet 20kyo! Also just insane how humans lived without much “technological” change for so so many years
i think of it as more of a 'code red' for the distributed and participatory internet.

search engines support a whole ecosystem of content creators, question answering systems replace them.

i think that this is the most complicated hurdle that the technology will have to overcome. if it replaces search engines and their purely referential nature, it removes the incentives for continued public publishing.
