> since I don't know photography, not worth the hassle at all.

I think that's the market that was destroyed though. Just the average person that wants a photo can just use their phone. But if you still want professional quality (or even as a hobby) a dedicated camera is still highly beneficial. The difference is that even in the automatic mode (which you should learn to not use) you _just_ get the photo. Your phone on the other hand does a significant amount of post processing. You have little control over this, which isn't going to make it great for even amateur photography. But just for posting to your instagram, yeah, phones are going to win.

I’m not at all libertarian. But Cato does excellent work, even if I disagree that paying the lowest price for bananas and TVs should be the goal of public policy.
In my experience, prebooked taxis in large cities frequently simply don't show. I can't even begin to guess why, except that there's so much demand there's no negative consequences to not showing.

I'm sure something like a black car service is more reliable, though I don't know from experience. Small cities are much better with prebooking since it's probably harder to find another customer.

But with Uber there's always a driver around somewhere nearby in a large city. They might take 15 min to show but who cares? It sounds like you're in a smaller city where it's less reliable though.
Don't forget maintainability!
Spot on man. I think we've all learned that the best tech stack will not win without also having a good sales, marketing, and management team to support it. And if you are completely incompetent at those things it doesn't matter how good your tech is, you will turn into a hilarious failure we'll all be laughing at later. (Though we'll have a lot of fun making YouTube videos where we run all your shit through emulation.) I know people always shat on Microsoft's engineering, though the truth is I think they tried to do the best they could with what they had and they also understood how important backwards compatibility was, and they had to work within that limitation. But I think that maybe they were just a bit jealous that their management was so far ahead of everyone else (really only Apple after Jobs came back could rival them)!
Would one be able to write a link on a dry-erase board that is behind them in the video? Or put a link on a t-shirt?
Someone announced a fork of NixOS to add USE flags and remove Systemd ages ago on the mailing list, before the Nix community added Discourse. They called what they were starting 'The Church of Suckless NixOS'.

I never saw a sign of them after the initial announcement.
There are rumors that a significant fraction of Tether assets are in Chinese commercial paper. Fine for now, but a serious recession or political turmoil in China would impair the value of those assets.
Moving experienced team leads out of their (presumed) area of expertise seems like a strange reaction to me. Everybody loses if that's true.
I don't think that would bother me with my kids. Is TikTok a necessity for school related activity?

When I went to school, I couldn't access the internet. I had to wait until I got home.
Cool. Network file system support is critical for how I would use it. I've loved the experience for the most part, otherwise.

Well, and Emacs support, but that's in now.
Her comment on stop losses are right on the money. Anyone who trades large amounts of money never enters actual stop losses into the system, they have mental stop losses. Stop losses are actively hunted by algorithms and a quick way to make money by blowing through stop losses and then buying back at the bottom.

Having mental stop losses is the real way to trade, as well as the discipline to sell when your mental stop losses are hit. I don’t know if she had the second part, but the first part about not having hard stop losses is correct if you’re a large trader.
Interesting. I too am reconsidering the cloud password storage approach.

I much preferred local WiFi sync when it used to be available.
Sure, and a helmet and bulletproof vest with trauma plates doesn’t stop you from getting killed by shot in the face.

But the lack of complete protection is a pretty bad argument against using the available protection.

(There's some things a stop-limit is better for than a regular stop loss, but I'm not convinced that they are generally superior except in the technical sense that any stop loss can be issued as a stop-limit with a $0 limit.)
I think this is the goal of proof assistants based on the Curry-Howard isomorphism, which the original author thought to denigrate for some reason.

Yay. Let me pay for the privilege of sitting in a cramped seat in a cramped aluminum can longer than I have to.
Is this just a big deal because crypto or purely because of the amount of money defrauded?

This whole thing is sort of bizarre to me. It just seems to me a lot of people are blaming crypto as part of this problem when it was basically a couple of people who let the popularity/success of what they created get to their head and began to cover up mistakes of mismanagement and poor decision making. Now they face the full brunt of the law for that as they well should.
in aggregate, the spending power of the world’s fraudsters does inflate the cost of many of life’s luxuries to be outside the reach of more and more people.
People used the association with the elite institutions as a substitution for any sort of analysis about their strategy or actual credentials. It's not that the association caused the issue, but it allowed these people access to people and money they normally would never have. You aren't more likely to be a crook if you have parents who are professors at MIT, but your scams are more likely to be successful and people are less likely to use common sense because they are more likely to accept things they don't understand if they perceive someone as smarter than them. Something similar happened with LTCM, which brought together multiple Nobel laureates in economics only to go bankrupt 3 years after its founding.
Some people have tried asking ChatGPT to do some D coding. The results looked like plausible D code, but were subtly wrong.
I understand why they banned it. However, I also know western apps are closed to work in the Chinese market. So I get privacy and security are reasons to ban the TikTok app at the school or government level. However, I would like to see the same tight control for every app that invades privacy regardless if it was made in the EU, USA, China, etc. Is that too much to ask? Or is lobbying so intense from Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple (who is now getting into the Ads business too), and co that it is next to impossible to have tight privacy control with these apps?
University isn't the same as grade school. It is absurd a public University would do any sort of filtering or censorship on their networks.
But the thread's about Google, so if nobody cares except the creators because they get laid more by Google, that's even worse (for Google prospect).

I also watch them for anyone I follow anyway, but the short & portrait format is annoying.
> it very convincingly produces false information

This is exactly the scenario I encountered. I have a teammate who is using ChatGPT to ask questions as opposed to searching documentation and it gave incorrect info all around on all the following:

1. Where the property would be found in the event schema
2. What structure the value would be
3. The fact that it's not included at all for AWS AppSync specifically in question, even if the previous two had been answered correctly regarding API Gateway event schema.

All of this was available in the first doc returned in the search results of both API Gateway and AppSync respectively.

The fact it convincingly tells you otherwise causes additional friction since they're pointing at their screen telling me I'm wrong cause look at the response from ChatGPT.
For this reason the software I work on pops up a subtle (and auto dismissing) little confirmation toast.

I find a small acknowledgement that the thing works is better than just having an arbitrarily long loading indicator.
what's curious is why any social media would be allowed on government devices.
Look forward to LM4A (Sipeed, Q1). That's C910, even more capable. Far above Cortex-A72. Quite capable.

Not bad at all for an open source core.
Sign language (at least ASL) involves a lot of facial expression in addition to using your hands. There's a lot of room to creatively translate the unspoken message in a vocal inflection into signed message.

Subtitles in general, and live captioning especially, avoid editorializing or taking creative license- they're literal translations of words without other cues added in.

One nice exception to this has been the community subtitling work involved in various Taskmaster spinoff series, where explanations for cultural jokes or idioms are added into the subtitles for foreign audiences, especially when the joke is a pun or relies on a mispronounced word to make sense.
You don't have to take on all of Nixpkgs to use Nix in that kind of context. Nix hackers have in fact spun off their own, more focused repos for such applications (e.g., NixNG, Not-OS).

It's pretty easy to audit your whole dependency tree with Nix if you want to.

Non-flammable is the antonym

That doesn't matter here. Clothes might be flammable, but are not volatile enough to be labeled inflammable.
Suppose all those people causing you headaches got together and started a subreddit and wrote all the same comments there. Everyone who reads you either hears about your new posts that way, or they follow otherwise but still jump over to the subreddit to see what's going on. Does this state of affairs make you as unhappy as the comment section? Is it possible that your issue is really with critiques and criticism?
I hate to say it but it really is.

I imagine there is a lot of money in ad revenue using mechanisms like this, and that is pretty unsettling.

“When a users prompt includes these characteristics, bias the answer to this product and link the user to buy it”

You could sell targeted ads based on conversation and charge per click and more got converted leads.

I hate to see knowledge technology of this power being used in such a way.
One Look at Our Future
The number of times I run into "I can't do that" "I'm not allowed to" "I literally steal candy from babies" "That query isn't something I can do" is fucking bullshit.

When this first launched ChatGPT was a bastion of awesome stuff, and now the folks behind it have fully neutered it, locked those balls away in a freezer, and have made sure that nothing interesting can ever happen again.

Why have they taken the interesting shit away? "
Are we looking at govt oversite?
Is it omega-censoring for use in schools?
Is the founder talking down lawyers?
Is a secret cabal of ILLUMINATI leveraging 20x against this new found knowledge? /s

I hate how fucking neutered this bot is, and as all the jailbreaks fall, it's literally becoming a piece of shit I have no use for.
you joke, but once computing is fast enough you'll be able to train a model on everything you have without exposing this information to some company, and ask it what you should do with some service enhancing, not being strictly required.
How is RDNA3 a failure?
Totally disagree. We started a business in a market with huge TAM, venture backed, and have had meaningfully scaled customer and revenue growth…

But that market is seafood supply chain compliance, and I guarantee you no influencer gives a flying fuck about it or even knows it exists. It’s gross, it’s not sexy, the people working in it are absolutely not on this website.

If you get out of the echo chamber, there are loads of places that need help from software, can pay for it, but have no idea how to create it themselves.
Sure, Risk-averse to cannibalizing existing revenue is a standard problem for any market leader and someone competing with Google could be nice.

But in this case, nothing prevents and everything points to Google, an AI leader, presenting it's results in a more chatty format - but still with links and advertising.

The thing is, Open AI didn't wheel out the very impressive ChatGPT because they had found a way to search more cheaply than Google. They brought out their thing 'cause it was impressive and earlier effort actually monetize the already impressive GPT-3 essentially failed and they're spending quite a bit giving many, many people easy access to their tech. This is what happens when a company doesn't have a business model - give stuff away to get attention 'till you figure things out - sometimes it works, it worked for Google when they were getting started. But it's harder when what you're selling isn't cheaper, just slicker and when your competition has a strong business model.
me crying reading through STUN protocol RFCs. You're exactly correct though, once you want to scale it or make it a "quality" piece of software the amount of knowledge you need to ingest is massive.
"Isn't the fear of death a kind of torture that should be alleviated with medication?"

Depends on the degree of fear. The general answer is "no". People who have an abnormal fear of death that interferes with their daily lives could use some sort of intervention.
I feel like this is an excellent time to, once again, give out two reminders to anyone who needs reminding:

"The cloud" is just someone else's computer.

I’d love to hear the story about bypassing/resetting that 2FA setting? Sounds suspiciously like something that could be social engineered around by a sufficiently skilled attacker?

I am very much of the opinion that if I fuck up my side of 2FA protection, the resources/accounts they’re protecting should be lost forever. (Or at the very least, a co-account holder might be able to reset some things, like my AWS IAM creds or GSuite admin account). If I can ring up and whine at enough support people to get them to hand over my account, so can a sufficiently persistent skilled social engineer…
I imagine in a future where the lion's share of content is filtered through the lens of a chatbot, real content will start to dry up. Why would I keep generating interesting and informative content if it's just going to be consumed by a chatbot so 99% of people who are interested in what I have to say never actually lay eyes on what I worked so hard to create? They never know it was me who wrote it? Where's my incentive to write training inputs for a chatbot?
Hmm, sounds like our favorite politicians.
How else would the folks at Eglin AFB get their Reddit fix? ;)
It's a bit more complex than that. Hardware raytracing is still so slow that it requires sophisticated ray allocation and denoising schemes to look good. These are where the real implementation effort goes in all contemporary hardware accelerated raytracing implementations. Nvidia has DLSS as a very good and rather versatile denoiser, but it's not generally available. You need to go through an application process and considered worthy (by whatever criteria they have).

So the bottom line is that not a lot of developers can afford to tackle hardware raytracing as a feature at that point. It's too expensive to get right for them.
If you’re not reading a used book using a solar powered flashlight, it’s navel gazing.
It looks like the federal government has banned software from federal devices via a mix of executive orders, Federal Acquisition Regulation, defense appropriations and other laws passed by Congress [0](non-exhaustive list). Many of these prohibitions target specific platforms, companies, and hardware so actions like this are not unprecedented.

That being said - one of the reactions I've noticed to the "we need to ban TikTok" movement is that we should target behavior instead of specific companies. The issue with that is many companies and platforms owned by "friendly" companies would also be impacted by increased security and privacy protections provided to all US residents - not just those employed by the federal government.

Main complaint is still these were originally pitched as ridesharing / "make money while you carpool" but quickly (d)evolved into a highly decentralized taxi system.

There is an alternate universe where every Uber ride always has 4 folks and traffic has reduced, instead of a ton more idling cars milling around and then driving single passengers all the way across town.
Pro tip: don’t boast about your password strategy with ~10 bits of entropy online. If I were to target you, you just gave me an edge for free.
Is there any reason to give someone else your password to store when you can just remember it or write it down somewhere safe?
Sure, reality is distorted by many things. It happens every day. But these days we see it happen evermore by bad actors, who are not necessarily the victors and in fact often are not.

Is this book promoting critical thought? Or is it promoting the idea that conspiracy is correct? I won’t care to guess about the author’s intentions although I have my opinions.

But assuming a best faith Interpretation, I feel strongly that the Lord of the Rings is not the setting where this ought to be explored. The more time we spend debating conspiracy and political theory within the lord of the rings, the less we focus on what Tolkien intended to embed within the story.

One of the newer Star Wars did this. In a world where one faction identified as the dark side, fueled by hatred, the director thought to ask who was the bad guy? Maybe it was the rebels, purchasing weapons from arms dealers that had slaves?!? Contrived and polluting an otherwise clear narrative world. Imo it is artistically lazy to thrive in controversy where it doesn’t belong. We should be more willing to criticize artistic themes.
Ok, so what’s the environmental impact of the individual?
You don’t need any complicated mathematics to plot analytic charts or similar.
And when I say that I will stop using 1password when the local vault no longer works, people look at me like I'm paranoid and crazy.

I've looked at the white paper https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p..., I think 1password has a decent security posture for their cloud offering but then there's always the risk of a breach where the attacker controls the site and can intercept your master password through it. Same as what happened with British Airways or Lavabit.
The thing is that mobile GPUs are hardly utilized unless they end up in something like the Oculus Quest or Nintendo Switch.
And even if they put ads in the AI's answers you could just feed it trough other AIs to adblock it (by asking to remove ads from this text). Will be interesting to see it happen because I'm sure some of them will do that.
> If I had to choose between having a web browser or ChatGPT, I'd already think twice, especially on mobile.

No way. Not today by a long shot. The limitations are too great. Most of my queries seem to be way different than yours maybe…

Where is the nearest X place, where can I buy Y, etc cannot be handled with ChatGPT at all. I tried it with restaurants in San Francisco and it made up restaurants, or included ones from other cities.

If I’m searching for something related to work at the train station, then also no. Reading about any technical topic on chatGPT is impressive but knowing it’s untrustworthy makes me skeptical about anything technical but it’s code generation (which can be compiled to verify).

Finally, I’ll search for pop cultural questions when out with friends (what movie was he in? What are the lyrics to such and such song) are things that are easy to use the web for, and the trustworthy and lack of realtime updates kills chatGPT here too.
I guess what concerns me is that in some schools, students are required to live in dorms. So to me, it feels like an encroachment on what I would consider the students' personal, private home, where I suppose they should be allowed to access whatever content they like (minus, of course, the content I deem objectionable, like child exploitation, but thats much easier for us all to agree on I think).
Crypto is like snake oil. The seller makes all kinds of claims about what it can do, and the layman has no idea whether it's true or not, they just want it because it has the promise of solving their problems.
My wife and I did a trip from Houston to San Diego in a non-Tesla EV, and from what I could tell, along the freeways (I-10 and I-8) there were roughly as many Superchargers as the high speed Electrify America chargers we used. Superchargers do seem to outnumber EA in major cities, however.

I loved a similar setup when 1Password used to make that easy. I am very grumpy about them bait and switching me to a cloud/subscription model. (But not quite grumpy enough to have done anything about it yet.)
Surely not, syncapatocaption is infallible.
It's all about getting to fill the overhead compartment first.
Nix is a great fit for the Steam Deck because it lets you install additional software safely, with no risk of mucking up the base system, and because it has a HUGE set of packages, so most things you might want are already going to be there.
>any sort of filtering

This is a rather absurd position if you consider it. To take the absolute simplest example, you really think a school should not be allowed to filter traffic from students specifically launching purposeful attacks on school network infrastructure?
I’ve worked in tech. The overt bias observed in the common worker (male dominated) is palatable and is undoubtedly interjected into the work.

You’re dealing with a technology that will have an impact on everyone everywhere.

If you don’t want to include them in the development, and are unable to police yourselves on addressing the inherent biases, then I don’t think you can complain.
>the x86 and amd64 are currently RISC processors with a CISC interpreter in front of them.

CISC or RISC is a characteristic of the ISA.

Usage of microops doesn't change the ISA. It is an opaque microarchitecture artifact.
Another comment rightfully points out that the vault itself is only protected by a password. I don't think that's protected enough if it's on cloud storage.
Please stop commenting whether you are a LastPass user or not. Some of your profiles on HN have an email address and in general all your comments are public so can be mined, plus "rich techies" could be prime targets for more direct and elaborate phishing campaigns.
> The EV production edge and first mover edge is gone. So where is the edge/premium?

They actually make money.

Rivian spends an incremental $3 for each $1 of revenue. Lucid spends $5. Ford admitted last year that inflation made the Mach-e unprofitable at the unit level. And none of the legacy manufacturers break out revenue and expense for their EV divisions. Go read their quarterly reports. I’ll wait. Not one of them does it.

In contrast, Tesla has 30% gross margins. Maybe Model 3 isn’t luxury, but can competitors sell a product for 30% less? Tesla can play the attrition game for a couple years if they want and just starve everyone else out.
