Loved it! Hope she gets better soon bro!
There are some legal hurdles, but, yeah, basically.
what would be a better word to use?
> Bust just out of curiosity, how do we make it so people can be trusted, so that then "society works"?

By not marginalizing people. There is a strong push to make all conservative viewpoints (and people) irredeemable and not part of society.

What happened to agree to disagree?

Democrats for the most part seem incapable of understanding Republican viewpoints, they just throw up their hands and call them "crazy" or other such words. You are not required to agree with the viewpoint, but you ARE required to understand it, and understand why a person might have a viewpoint you disagree with.

If you can't do that, you are the problem.
Not surprising given the discussion I've seen about these AIs on HN and other sites.

AFAICT, they're generally treated as a shortcut to avoid learning an API or library, or as a shortcut to avoid boilerplate by essentially copying somebody else's boilerplate.

Both cases boil down to using other people's code for purposes that it wasn't built for, which is obviously going to be error prone.

The AI has no idea how this particular case differs from the sample code it was trained on, so it's up to the developer to go back and correct the details - which is precisely what they were trying to avoid with the AI. It's basically a fancy version of code "templates" available in some IDEs, but fewer people know to go back and fill in the correct details.

Yeowzers, I wonder if there are replacements for those two cards that would bring the price down into the realm of what I consider "silly things to buy"?
Probably they're less efficient or more dangerous? Just taking a guess here.
What, you don’t like IDEsTERMANtE? Churl.
I don't know if I should do that gmail thing or not...afraid it'll mess up or I'll forget about it.

Can the spouse resist opening an envelope? I don't know. Maybe I just hide it in our files and hope she finds it if I die, but not before.
After reading your linked reports, I don't really see anything that I consider truly convincing that Webb did anything wrong, or even requires any sort of exoneration. If you have to dig hundreds of pages deep into a report to see speculation about intent, maybe that's not so convincing?
Exactly! It's the digital equivalent of placing the milk at the back of the grocery store. It's meant to distract you from why you're there in the first place.

I miss those days. I worked in the Compute department for the DOT and we were always getting proof of concept hardware and some of it ended up under my desk.

Boss has a Dec laptop that was _thin_ (Digital Hi Note?)

We had a Dec Alpha running an early version of Windows NT

I had a Dec PC that started out as a 486, then got a Pentium 120 upgrade daughter card. (possibly this one, though that looks like a Mid tower and the one I had was full-sized) http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/43316/Digital-Persona...

Nowadays...your expansion slots are used for your GPU and....well....maybe a better WiFi card?
If local newspapers focused on corruption in local government, locals would be more likely to subscribe IMO. But in my experience, they don't; they won't report on contentious issues in local government.
The difference is that with code suggestions, you don't necessarily notice errors, even extremely important errors.
Well done giant. I followed your thread and was impressed also by how many others also offered their assistance.

Very happy to be part of this community.

Ideally we'd wait until we have evidence of who did it and what their motivations are, rather than just jumping to whichever conclusion fits our existing biases.
How is this different than closing your phone, screen shotting a FB post, pausing your video? Really. Even live streams, for the most part, are able to be paused and watched at a later date albiet without chat interaction. I fail to see the difference.
Not to argue semantics, but nonprofits are still allowed to have more revenue than expenses and bank the rest in savings, investments, or to outright buy other for profits.

They just can't "profit" in terms of paying that extra out to owners. They have to reinvest back in the org, pay it out as salary, or play financial games with it.

It does not mean they have to operate on razor thin margins and struggle to survive every year. They can (and should) have warchests that can cover a few bad years or longer.
> If I was in the position most of you are in (I have opted out of the housing market for ethical reasons), I’d also be powered mostly via solar and a 3 day reserve battery for the house.

You are getting a lot of flak for this, but I completely agree. For the salaries many on HN take home (well into the six figures) this should be far more of a priority. There is almost no excuse to not do it in any semi-rural setting - I see it as outright negligence if you make that sort of money and have a living situation that allows it.

You mentioned $75k previously - that would be for an extremely small house. I've also ran the numbers, and for $250-500k (depending on climate) you can basically live in a normal sized house and be completely off-grid indefinitely. That's a ton of money, but almost nothing when compared with a FAANG salary over a decade.

If that is a bit too crazy for you, you can get back to the ~$150k number by the simple addition of a backup generator fueled by on-site propane. Get a few tanks on-site and it's pretty easy to have a 60 day supply on-hand at all times when combined with your solar generation during the day. Propane doesn't go bad so you can basically store it indefinitely. Add in a wood stove and you really can go as long as your food and medical supplies last.

It's strange to me more folks in this position do not make this a priority. Just adding rooftop solar+batteries+roll-up generator seems to be too far "out there" for most people to even consider.

I've noticed since COVID these attitudes are slowly shifting, so we'll see what the future brings. The sheer number of friends I know who have less than a week's worth of food in the house and not even a little Honda 2000w generator is uncomfortable to me.
Apparently (per the app) these gpt3 apps are overwhelming and I need to spend more time with my friends. Also, I need to hunt for a job. Btw, today I will paint the house blue and mow the lawn.

Thank goodness for helpful AI apps!
Apple has gotten a larger market share and has implemented some new app store policies re: their 30% cut, but otherwise I think you're right that the landscape hasn't drastically changed.
Instead of extrapolating "there are no black swans in town" to "the world", it would be better to calculate the probability of no black swans being in town (given that there are N swans in town), based on hypothetical populations of swans and varying uniformity of distribution.

A zero-knowledge proof[0] uses similar reasoning.

Is driving in an urban area really great for the driver? Genuine question, btw.

Everytime I’ve driven in EU capitals, I’ve been more frustrated than ever while driving. In every scenario walking, cycling or a tube would’ve felt more pleasant and quicker.

Traffic light after traffic light, constant congestion. What a mess. 20 minutes for a few kilometers.
So if humans are a group, and altruism is something to be valued, are elites (1% of the 1%) simply those who have found ways to bend the group altruism to their benefit - and found stories like honour and sacrifice that guide others while they make no such sacrifice?
What?! Spamming people with low quality garbage isn't a sustainable high yield strategy for long term engagement?! Stunning, just stunning!
Yes, but I wasn't really sure what was going on in it.
On the one hand, by the principle of charity, what was meant was that modern cities can't function without automobiles, not that ancient Sumeria required automobiles. Straw man.

On the other hand, by the principle of charity, what's being argued is that modern cities can't dump all automobiles immediately; not the idea that modern technology is too feeble to allow a city design without automobiles to function at all. Straw woman.

On the third hand, by the principle of charity, what is being argued is that most automobiles can be dropped from large parts of modern cities with more gain than loss; not that entire metropolitan and suburban areas can drop cars without inconvenience. Straw pronoun of your choice.

In other words, none of the arguments here are what they appear to be about superficially. They're really about degree of difficulty - is that underestimated or over-estimated? vs the benefits: more or less than you'd think. To argue that, you need details, which are in short supply until the experiments get not just to your city but to your block.

It's in good part an argument about network effects - and we aren't used to taking those into account properly.

Where I live, the standard argument as bike lanes/routes were being (expensively!) built downtown was: "Nobody even uses them!" Which was true as long as the bike routes were all less than a couple kilometers long. Now bike traffic is picking up as routes lengthen and multiply; so I rarely if ever hear that argument. Now what I hear is "you still need a car" because few bike routes are very long as yet, rather than objections to bike lanes in the middle of streets (or displacing streets) existing at all. Soon it will be "where I live you still need a car." Finally, when the lanes are built out, which they will be, the argument will be "I just like the convenience of a car."

My own view now: "I didn't expect this, but I really like that my neighborhood is quieter; which it is because there's now a pocket park right where an intersection used to be, one block from me. Just that change has made a remarkable difference. Damned nice to sit there in relative silence. Watching bikes hum by from time to time."
You can eventually train crows to bring you stuff. I’ve read stories of crows being trained to deliver money or cigarettes. My favorite was a guy who used to hang out with crows on his balcony when he smoked, and he had to move when he quit smoking because the crows would just bring him packs of cigarettes.
While a cool idea.

Aren't most cruise ships and their parents companies behind the ball when it comes to environmental impact and they're responsibilities to be good to the planet?

I hope they choose a company/liner that is not one of these companies otherwise I think this is a terrible decision.

Once these companies sort out their behavior, I'm all aboard
I just checked out that post. Amazing.

The world needs more people like you.
TV being a problem was talked to death for years. Now the attention is on streaming binges on Netflix. Not everyone likes or plays video games it doesn't have the same mass appeal
No one's talking about how the difficult part of the EV-Only future is that it assumes we use exactly the same number of cars as we use today.
If we actually want to support an EV future, we're gonna have to support forms of EV that are not battery powered. I'm talking about real L3 autonomous electric vehicles AKA trains.
All of these things in the news remind me of another attack in the bay area some time ago.

Incredibly commendable and a genuine show of humanity in times when one can look around the world and see a complete lack of it.

Well done, you're a top individual. Wish the world had more people like you.
Yes, it's about as useless as relying on Amazon reviews.

Affiliate marketing and SEO optimization have pretty much destroyed the usefulness of searching for product reviews.

I usually just add "reddit" to the end of whatever I'm searching. It's the only way to read what real, mostly-unincentivized people think about something.

I wish Google had a way to "downvote" results. Sure they would have to mitigate artificial manipulation, but what they have currently doesn't work well.
I'm not understanding this conspiracy theory. How does it help the power company to destroy their own equipment to "make hype"?
ProjectVeritas is about manufacturing traps, not any real kind of investigation.
Imo, this is a critical discussion to have. While I have strong opinions that are confirmed by this cut of the story, is there a take that is thoughtful that is better than "it was an emergency, misleading people to ultimately do the right thing was the ethical decision," or is that truly the best rationale for how the platforms and governments handled the pandemic response?

It's a critical discussion because right now, it really, really looks like a cadre of people actuated by having power over others (instead of the freedom to build and create by themselves) have co-ordinated through NGOs, operating on compromised institutions and platforms, to deceive the western world into removing all limits to state intervention and protections for basic human dignity and liberty, and to leverage the crisis to ensconce new powers.

The people of the world need to be shown how we were not deceived and betrayed. I don't know how long the window of opportunity for truth and reconciliation will last.
For a user's satisfactory, I really think any notification should be opt-in instead of opt-out for anything other than direct message.

Facebook's blue app is one of the first apps I had to turned off the notification entirely. If I really care about some one who just upload a photo I will go into your app to take a look. These notifications are now just baits for the ads.
Blocklists prevent the internet to be decentralized – and safe
Thanks for all of the work and detailed response. I might have been restarting the server right at the moment you tried it. As you can see I released it as soon as I barely got it working, with the minimum explanation and copy etc. There is a bit of explanation in the READ THIS section above the text area. There is a Discord thread in the OpenAI Discord under the api-projects channel but I stopped giving it out because people can't access from the direct channel link and I plan to make a Discord server as soon as possible.
I will be working on all of these things as soon as I can get to them. I had mentioned this system in a post in the OpenAI Discord and a few people had said they were waiting for it to be live, so I just got it up. I also have another online business and client project I have to complete to keep the lights on etc. but I am making this new thing as high of a priority as possible.
They want to police what you say and to whom and call you a fascist simultaneously.
I suppose I meant a town square where all people n the town where and able to listen. That seems very small and scales up badly.

I guess we mean "public discourse" - which mostly means books and newspapers then, and all variety of media today.

And trust me, they did not get their impact by standing on a cold pavement outside hyde park. They used other media :-)
I saw this ad/article multiple times the last few days, good ad placement. About $300k for a 12 year lease on a ~250 sf apartment with a bathroom, small bed. This is at storylines.com. Travels to cool cities all over the world, stays at each for a few days. Has an option to prepay for food, has coffee places, bars, "5 star" restaurants, entertainment. Includes booze but not the absolute top shelf stuff. They have internet and wifi. I thought I saw somewhere the annual everything (laundry, cleaning, food, etc) fee was 3-4k/month, laundry, gym but I can't find it today. The cheaper rooms have a murphy (fold down) bed.

I'm sure there will be fees. Suppose you spend 400k total for 12 years, that's only 30k / year. Add in another 40k and you are spending 70k/year for a kind of peramanet vacation. If you are "working" like this teaser article says at a high paying software job it could actually work for a while. You'd be constantly shifting timezones though. Would be fun if you had a low stress job without a lot of meetings.

It's appealing to me as I sit here after xmas, but but but cruise ships are pretty destructive to the environment.
Yeah but it has absolutely no explanatory power for sociological phenomenon. People want it to be true, but there's just no there there.

My gas fireplace will run without power, but the fans will not, so it will run much, much less efficiently and take hours to warm a room from the ceiling down. However, my gas furnace will not run because it needs the large electric fans to circulate the air from the furnace in the garage to the registers in each room in the house.
Ask ChatGPT to make a C function that prints 100 digit of pi. It will always fail.
> you can't cheat.

We may strongly disagree here, but I think "cheating" is an essential part of great movie making.

A good movie is all about telling a great story in an immersive way. If the director "cheats" her way through that story, be it for budgetary reasons or even to just move the story forward in a way that grips you, well, more power to her.
“Terrorism” is just the 21st century rebranding of the 20th century’s “anarchism”. People used “anarchism” and “anarchist” frequently during the 20th century.
> we found that none of these “styles” really resonated much with devs. Open rates were low, many marked us as spam

Spam:

1. (uncountable, rarely countable, computing, Internet) Unsolicited bulk electronic messages.

2. (uncountable, computing, Internet) Any undesired electronic content automatically generated for commercial purposes

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spam]

If many people marked you as spam, maybe that's because the messages you were sending were exactly that: spam?
Really great answer! Thanks for it.

As a freshly promoted staff engineer I am also interested in some more details, because it is not easy to find some good resources on this topic.

> Kill stupid things early on

Can you give some examples of stupid things?

> have strong opinions

This is one of the things I hear a lot, but again, what are those, any examples? My opinion could be wrong and I can't keep it strongly, especially when surrounded with smart people.
There's a Mikrotik switch with 4 SFP+ 10G ports for ~120 EUR. It would work well with DAC cables in a rack. For use with copper you would need SFP+ modules which are like 50 EUR more each.
Stealing mail intended for someone else is a felony. The angry parents should just notify the postal inspection service, and watch the fireworks fly.

How much would 2 24gb GPUs cost? Unfortunately I think it’s still unaffordable for most

Maybe you could rent GPU space on a service like vast.ai. But I imagine it would be difficult to set up, and at that point currently you’re better off just using GPT3…

> But that furnace would work fine without electricity

Without electricity, how would the furnace communicate with the thermostat, and how would the blower fan motor operate? Convection goes up, but not necessarily out, and without a blower fan there's risk of the furnace overheating.

> Wifi 7 is going to be the more useful jump for most on Wifi 5 still I think.

If you can wait for 7, then it probably makes sense to just get the latest and greatest.

But at $WORK we're moving into a new office in 2023, and given networking gear lead times, we have to order what's available now (6 and 6E) to make sure we get the stuff in time for move-in.

Even with 'only' 6(E), you still get OFDMA, which AFAICT really helps with spectrum efficiency in high-density environments. 6GHz with 6E is also a good thing.
A natural gas furnace without a blower? That's what you really need the electricity for. There are pure natural gas appliances, such as decorative fireplaces and water heaters, which do not need a fan and use a thermocouple to power the control board.
Anybody that uses these ai assistants know that the human is still by far the main architect and driver of the code base.

Increasingly advanced AI just means more back/forth between coder and AI, both increasing each other's velocity. AI won't just be trained on other AI-generated code, but more like "cyborg" code. Code that was made by both AI and human together. Code that the human probably wouldn't have been able to accomplish, at least not as quickly or in as much volume, without the AI

Rather than a singularity we might see a "multilairty" where both human and AI become increasingly useful to each other. A situation that takes full advantage of diversity in ways of thinking about and processing information/knowledge
