> I can get it from bookshop.org on Friday too, but it is £15.50, vs Amazon's £10.50

France and a few other countries have the right idea here - the same book always costs the same, regardless if it's on Amazon, local bookstore, big chain store. There's a unique price set country-wide for the edition, and that's it, they have to compete on other things.
Automated solvers that have a super computer backing them sure, but I doubt an airline has that kind of hardware at their disposal. Especially if their solver on their lower end hardware works most of the time for most disruptions.

> That’s right, ads. I think it can be done well

No, it can't. This is a terrible idea. After that sentence, I continued reading for a bit, for some purely morbid type of pleasure, but eventually had to close the tab.

I need less ads in my life, not more of them.
While all of the above are true, there is a variable which was a constant for thousand of years. That is that language is generally static, it doesn't change much over ten, twenty years, or fifty years. It sometimes undergoes significant changes over the centuries.

Well that constant will be transformed to a variable. While GPT can recognize and produce outputs of a language, this tool, or similar tools can be used to produce another language, totally from scratch or a variant of an existing language, instantly.

In the language context, i would argue it is a lot more difficult to produce effective spam than in the image context or video. People will change their language, the model will have to be trained again in the new language, and that is until people up their game and change language again. This is happening already, young people use different language in the internet than older people. I would be surprised if we don't witness in the near future, the internet of a million languages.
The Wandering Inn. https://wanderinginn.com/

It's a webnovel, litRPG, slice of life, rememeberable cast of characters, with most of the characters getting extensive character building. Has dragons, aliens, time travel, fae etc. Also has modern pop references. For e.g. "arrow to the knee"

Also it's massive. You can spend an year reading it to reach the current chapters.

I probably spent more time reading this then watching webseries.
Are you able to recommend some resources to get started with permaculture. I'm also in 'tech' but I've recently been developing an interest in 'living off the land' and would like to have my feet in both areas going into the future.
You have to applaud this guy, getting an ethernet card and a video card in an SE/30 would have been impressive way back in the 1980s, let alone now.

From memory at the university, we had Fastpath boxes (maybe before they were bought by Shiva). At one point about a decade ago I got nostalgic for classic macs and hooked 512 up in my garage with a Fastpath. Took me a while to get enough working localtalk adaptors and whatnot to set it up, and another while to track down the right networking software to get it working.

Turned it on, configured, whoah I have an IP address in MacTCP. Got it file sharing off the house Linux server. Fired up macwww and pointed it at google and about 15 minutes later, after heroically trying to render the page I got a few characters and nothing recognisable. An SE/30 is miles faster than a 512 so you might be able to do something useful with it, but macwww didn't render graphics and chokes on anything that isn't plain html.

I think it would be even worse now, you would need a HTTPS/HTTP proxy to get anything at all.

Nostalgic computing is awfully fun but all the fun is in the setup, finding parts, working on solutions etc. The end product is generally underwhelming but the journey is the real reward.

If you need to use the GPIOs, have size or power consumption restrictions then the Pi makes total sense. But for general purpose computing like a run of the mill home server, a low power x86 can replace a handful of Pis more efficiently.
> It isn't so much about vetting participants than about moderating the discourse

Vetting, moderating ... none of them scale well when done manually. The solution I see is that everyone have their own AI filters, customised as they see fit. You can include or exclude specific people and topics, make it as diverse or narrow as you like, allow challenging opinions or not. One of the filters can be to detect AI bots. Don't make the world conform to you, be selective and just skip the bad parts.

I think people are going to trust their own AI tools that are running on their own computers more than they trust other people and especially other AI. We already know we can't face the future onslaught of information with the old methods, we need help. User controlled AI is going to be our first line of defence and our safe space, "a room of one's own" where there is no tracking and thought policing.

With the advent of large language models we already have that, indirectly - the LM is a synthesis of everything, but we let it generate only conditional to our intentions. All the view points are in there for us to reach, it depends on us how we relate to them.

AI should be like a cell membrane separating outside from the inside. It should keep the bad stuff out, take the necessary nutrients and nurture the life within.

Upvoting because this is one of the most common misconceptions around performance I encounter.

You have received several good responses already, and I'll add just one more: the latency distribution of many software systems is in practise closer to a power law than a normal distribution. This means the "outliers" dominate almost all ways to look at the distribution, which means you will find the very high percentiles (including max) to be more informative of what going on (on a per-request basis) than the lower percentiles.

Another feature of power laws is that it's hard to estimate their shape based on the central values -- one of the more effective methods is to MLE fit a tail exponent to the tail (i.e. what's beyond the 95th percentile) and then extrapolate from that also to central values when necessary. This yields a less biased estimate of the mean, for example.
My policy is to pay a premium for non-DRM ebooks -- supply some incentive for publishers to offer that. (Rampant piracy is what got us into the DRM nightmare in the first place.)

The internet is full of lemons, not only social media, SEO-influenced services, and services where money buys you reach.

If you take any popular medical fact (for example, about diets), you will find countless published academic articles supporting and against it. This extends into other fields like physics, sociology, and politics too. But the contradictions there (while present) are not as overtly visible.

Many popular news outlets are leaning towards reporting in a "flavor" their audience expects and mixing opinions into their reporting.

By some studies, 80%+ of internet users admit to being duped at least once by fake news or misinformation online in 2022. That's the misinformation they spotted. 50%+ Americans say they read fake news online regularly.

As for logging off, according to Reuters Institute, 41% of Americans actively avoided news in 2022. And anecdotally, my friends and I have withdrawn from social media like Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and so on significantly this year. It definitely feels like a lot of information online is misinformation, either synthesized intentionally or "broken-telephoned" into fantasy by mainstream media.

I do not know how to deal with this personally but disengage from most of the online world. The signal-to-noise ratio of reliable information in many regions of the internet is meager. I mainly read Hacker News (which also sometimes features contradictory research or news), some academic journals, Wikipedia, some forums in my professional field, and some RSS news sources. Everything else on the internet has become too awash with contradictions and misinformation.

I never thought I'd have to retreat so far from mainstream media and social media. Mass logging off is going to impact these areas of the internet seriously.

I am scared of what AI language models will do to professional blogs, news, and academia. Editors and peer-reviewers there are already overwhelmed with unreliable information.
You didn't answer my question. I barely spend more than 15-20 mins a day on HN, so how does it matter if I am reading something useful or not. This is just an imaginary problem like the problem of having 100 million vids of how to boil and egg on youtube. Once you get the info you need from one vid who sits thro the rest. People just tune it out. Like traffic or bar conversations.
Thanks, but in what terms do you license your explanation?
With cryptographic signatures I could at least verify that something stems from the same account that I previously agreed with, but this would require people to be able to manage their own private keys.

Actually nothing would stop people from signing their own comments today and sometimes it is done.

With e2ee messengers I feel pretty confident that a message comes from the right / real person after I verified their public key.

> invented and used by the Chinese

They're not western inventions, but entire PRC watching circles suddenly popularizing label by formalizing jingoist PRC netizen meme as state department verbiage and have such rhetoric deseminate into MSM as the default label when discussing PRC diplomacy is where we enter manufactured propaganda territory. There's reason it's popularized over the actual foreign ministry terms like big country / great power diplomacy by PRC watchers who should actually know better, but unsurprisingly clickbaity labels like "wolf warrior" gets pushed. Deng's 韬光养晦 / hide strength bide time was translated / shorthanded fine. Xi and foreign ministry elevating 大国外交 / big country diplomacy hard in the last few years gets the wolf warrior meme treatment, because that brings an entirely different set of imaginary connotations than merely "assertive" diplomacy. And it gets repeated online by "useful idiots" with only surface knowledge for intended affect.

I'm not American and indifferent about Trump. "Western MSM" is just useful term when describing western manufactured consent / propaganda system in relation to PRC perspective. It's no different then when I describe CCP perspective as "state media narrative".
This heavily depends on the SLA, the use case or the industry.

Working on ultra low latency systems for algorithmic trading I can tell you we actually care and hunt down maxes more than the 95th percentile.

> On top of that the app showed GrabFoods ads with “food at your end location”.

I get those in France, too, with regular Uber. They try to get me to buy something or other on Uber Eats "for when I arrive". At like 2 in the morning. And no, I don't live in NY or somewhere with restaurants open 24/7.

They also have a share (or something, not sure how this works) in a bike-sharing scheme. So, I often get notifications while in the car like "oh, you could ask your driver to stop here and get a bike for the rest of your journey". Right. If I was willing to ride a bike, I'd already be on one. If I'm in your car, it's probably because it's pouring rain, or I'm too tired / drunk.
I moved out of SF during the pandemic but before that the city had homeless and mentally ill people and there was no security check at the library, and it was full of books.

> Is this not stability?

No? Maybe one could claim it results in some sort of equilibrium, but radically changing policy on important topics such as environmental protection, corporation taxes, infrastructure, etc. every 4 years is not stability. Not to mention that every topic becomes an instant partisan issue - if one party says something is good, the other has to fight against it, regardless of merits.
Maybe the next step can be: get paid to ride an Uber while blasted with ads! /s
Even for cars, "The Market for Lemons" dynamic has never been a major effect. It doesn't define automotive culture. The theory does describe parts of reality in the used car market, but even here... it's not the main thing. A theory like this may be useful for understanding existing phenomenon, but not for prediction... IMO.

Anyway... "SPAM" may be over. That is, I suspect that whatever low end, semi-legal marketing drek produced by GPT-like will not read as "SPAM" to us. Rather, we'll get whole new species of junk marketing, telescams and whatnot.

My prediction is that the first piece of weird will be AI autocomplete. A GPT that takes more context (eg all company emails) built into email & DM clients... that will escalate quickly. The line between human and machine will blurr.
As I said, I could read it multiple ways. But what's the most likely immediate perception of the person who is putting themselves out there, somewhere they're obviously underrepresented? I think probably they'll feel discouraged and excluded. That's the problem.
This is my piece arguing that liberal neutrality cannot function as a strong method of governance. It falsely privatises public arguments that need to be had creating a negative feedback loop of neutrality. This undermines a central claim of liberalism

So you have nothing to say of substance either. This is HN, not Reddit. If you can't contribute, this isn't the place for you.

And yes, my agenda of wanting more accountability for police who murder citizens and destroy their lives by abusing their power is "weird". What's wrong with you?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_v._Harris Or maybe you just don't care that the Supreme Court decided that police dogs are fine and current training is sufficient to prove their reliability despite overwhelming evidence showing otherwise

> Harris was the first Supreme Court case to challenge the dog's reliability, backed by data that asserts that on average, up to 80% of a dog's alerts are wrong.

> In the first 9 months of 2011, dogs alerted (and police searched) 14,102 times, and drugs were found only 2,854 times—a false alert rate of 80%. Those results, they say, are surprisingly consistent – in 2010, the false alert rate was 74%.[3] Further still, the study found that individual dog's performance varied wildly, with accuracy rates ranging from a high of 56% to a low of 7%, with two-thirds of the dogs performing below the average.

> The United States Supreme Court returned a unanimous decision on February 19, 2013, ruling against Harris and overturning the ruling of the Florida Supreme Court.[29] In the unanimous opinion, Justice Elena Kagan stated that the dog's certification and continued training are adequate indication of his reliability, and thus is sufficient to presume the dog's alert provides probable cause to search, using the "totality-of-the-circumstances" test per Illinois v. Gates. She wrote that the Florida Supreme Court instead established "a strict evidentiary checklist", where "an alert cannot establish probable cause ... unless the State introduces comprehensive documentation of the dog's prior 'hits' and 'misses' in the field ... No matter how much other proof the State offers of the dog's reliability, the absent field performance records will preclude a finding of probable cause."[30]

You know, there might be a reason the population density in Western Australia is reportedly 1 person per square kilometer.

Or as Population Australia put it:

> The state’s capital city is Perth. Perth has an estimated population of over 2.7 million people.

> Western Australia is Australia’s largest state. Its total area is 2,529,875 km² which accounts for 33 percent of Australia’s total land mass.

> Based on our research Western Australia population will reach 2.879 million by the end of June of 2023.

Most of Western Australia, of course, is not Perth. The density outside of Perth is... 0.2 people per square kilometer, using poorly-defined and chronologically mismatched statistics from the wikipedia sidebars. Perth has 80%+ of the people of Western Australia in 0.24% of the space. If we believe Population Australia about the size of Perth, it has more than 97% of the population of Western Australia in 0.3% of the space.

A lot of people did. Most business communication happens in virtual meetings or on platforms like Slack and Teams. Most informal communication occurs through voice calls and instant messaging. All that used to be email around Y2K, as far as I remember.

You’d think that this was the way to carry out a typical crypto scam yes. But then we have cases where the shell cracks like FTX and we can see inside and it turns out the scams are completely devoid of any sophistication. FTT wasn’t a clever pump’n’dump scheme, it was just straight up not backed because user funds where working to cover Alamedas leveraged positions.
That's a nice color scheme, but what really made those text-mode IDE's intuitive was the TUI widgets and support for multiple views. Probably easier to do in neovim than plain old vi/vim of course. With modern devtooling support as found in neovim you could also have inline help, which was also very useful in those older environments.

It goes down for an incredibly stupid decision. Transactions on Solana are free so spammers can produce millions of transactions per second and at some point validators simply crash.

Solana has subsecond transaction processing so a validator being down for more than a second counts as a downtime whereas with Bitcoin a block taking two hours to mine is completely normal. Bitcoin doesn't have the concept of "downtime" only the concept of delaying the next block.
There is also Vyper and Fe. But they are both much less mature, probably not recommended for production.
I understand and not disagree completely, but from my childhood, finding a snippet of code and racionalizing about its function/applicability to my problem was one way to learn coding. All ChatGPT does is generate snippets that actually touch the area of my interest, and I dont have to scourge half the internet for it (altho that brings its own sets of positive effects in itself).

Maybe its possible your disdain is actually towards "get rich quick for no work" mentality, instead of people using ChatGPT to form code and ask opinions on it in general?
