I read your post several times until I realized you're saying nothing with a huge amount of fluff
This used to partly happen by age.

Most notably, kids were in school with people their age, adults were at work, etc. 1st grader intellect and emotional interactions partitioned from 5th grade, partitioned from 9th, partitioned from college, partitioned from post-college.

For another example, the "grownups' table" and the "kids' table" at a holiday dinner.

Though, as a kid, I definitely benefited from listening in on the grownups on the Internet.
I mostly agree, but for me Goodreads has given some good suggestions over the years as well.

But one thing especially is the “friend activity”. There are some friends that I have connected with whom have a similar reading preference to me. Discovering what they are reading / have read and rated has influenced my buying decisions quite often. When I lived near those friends, we would talk about the books as we had more contact, but since moving halfway across the world that does not happen as often. Goodreads is great for that (imo).
I mean, is not only our brain and its gradual natural change, it is also the unsurmountable unavoidable attention-consuming routines.
SDL + OpenGL was never a thing in game consoles, nor in Apple world pre-OS X.

I have seen Grab’s (Grab is SEA Uber) motorbikes showing ads on mounted tablets, and their car drivers have tablets in the car that showed ads.

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

And the Grab app itself is filled with ads.

It didn’t make the rides free though.
Where’s your proof for any of your points other than “trust me bro”.

Russian propaganda is getting really pathetic these days you realise you guys convince no one right?.
Those get a new name. Hoax, fake news, relativisation, anti-whatever, propaganda, PR...

That cannibalizes the bookstore you like to visit.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by doom and gloom being the real problem? Are you saying it’s more of a perception issue that can be changed by the user?
We didn't always care to this accuracy. We just used the anal temperature and went on with our day. Then we got the ear canal thermometer for convenience and discovered that the result was not what we expected, so I got curious and started keeping detailed records...

But in the end, I want to get to the point where you are, using a rough rule of thumb. I'm just taking the evidence-based route there!
Yes. And nobility was going out of fashion in most of Europe after WWI at the latest. Eg in Austria you weren't allowed any titles at all anymore.

Though if you concentrate on Germany, because of the smaller armed forces demanded by the Versailles treaty, you probably did have a higher proportion of noble officers during the Weimar Republic.
oh now the talk of “uber getting cheaper” makes sense
Shout out to Marrickville library in Sydney. The best community centre we could have asked for.
>If it can comment as well as a human, our experience of using social networks will not be degraded. We still get the same experience as before.

Out of fun I posted a few "posts" generated by ChatGPT to my local town's facebook group (complaining about the quality of snow this year, nonsense like that).

The posts got a lot of engagement (100+ comments each) and the only one who figured out it was AI generated was a girl from the local university who studies computer science.
>There is a class of people for whom coding is 'work', as in the actual act of coding is work and they would prefer to be doing anything else, but they have bills to pay.

I always see this set of people highly vocal and against people who actually like to code. It is like they have a tough time accepting that a lot of technical people love to build things.
In 2022 starting with raw 3D APIs is like telling someone they need to learn Assembly from day 1.
Oh nice, thanks for the details/correction. I am not very familiar with the concept, i haven't implemented a social graph, i do have some general knowledge on the subject.
I love tinkering with hardware, but I always make a mental note to myself and say that building it will often cost 2-3 times what I thought it would, and that I'm actually paying for learning and having fun along the way, not the final product (I often end up using many of my projects only a handful of times, but still enjoy making them).
Half of the Reddit front page is this already. Dudes are swimming in millions of upvotes while blatantly advertising
Anecdotally, after measuring my armpit temperature a number of times in recent years due to checks for covid, I'm close to 36 C or even lower than that. In all my adult life I could deal with anything lower than 38 C without drugs. I would stay warm, rest, sleep on it and be good the next day. I start worrying if it gets past 38.
Amigo, stay strong.
we generated 200k in revenue in our first year by burning through 100k. Now we have no liquidity, and no investor wants to seed us further. our revenue is going to drop and we are literally not able to pay our people. I am millionaire on paper, and broke irl :)

Feels bad to fail now, but it is what it is.
Actually the current name "Argonauta argo" is taken directly from the Argonauts from Greek mythology.

The Ancient Greeks used the name "nautilos" for it.

Confusingly, now the name "Nautilus" is used for a completely unrelated genus of cephalopods.

While many biologists or mineralogists who have coined scientific names for animals, plants or minerals have taken Greek or Latin words from ancient authors, like Pliny the Elder, Aristotle or Theophrastus, most of them have been too lazy to actually read the old books.

Because of that, while most ancient names of animals, plants and minerals have been reused in the modern scientific terminology, many of them have very different meanings now, which occasionally confuses those who browse some old books, from Antiquity or from the Middle Ages, where the original meanings of the words are used.

Because the philologists are usually ignorant about biology and mineralogy, the dictionaries of ancient languages frequently contain erroneous definitions for the words denoting animals, plants or minerals, so they are not very helpful.
I always thought the competitive advantage of Uber over traditional Taxis was that they are more convenient...
Spam filters are indeed amazing, but I do get a non-trivial number of false positives these days.

So it’s more complicated than I thought.

When the iPad Pro was a host - ie you connect a usb 3 storage device to it via the camera connection kit - basically a lightning to USB adapter, you could get USB3 speeds.

But if you tried to connect it to your computer, it would be USB 2.

You missed the forest for the trees:

> He was a bit pro-military for my tastes, but I hope you get the idea.

I was trying to emphasize the point being made to you: the particular skills listed aren't relevant to the point of the need for general skills (the idea I hoped you would get) but instead relevant to all the people around the protagonist in the novel (which has a military slant due to the author). I'm quoting literature to show evidence that the debate is old, that was the entire point of my post; what am I supposed to quote except something that someone wrote? People like quoting literature for reasons like that: evidence that an idea is general, old and timeless, that our ancestors were grappling with the same ideas, that it isn't settled and probably never will be.
Won't bot/troll farms just buy "verified human" accounts?
Happy to share. My main reason was that I really wanted to get more into machine learning and didn’t feel like it was going to be as fast to go deep on my own. It’s much easier now, both in terms of educational materials available and the amount of people publicly talking about the field, but there’s something to the structure that helped me set aside the time to learn too. I made the choice to not do it full time at a higher ranked school and instead do part time classes because I didn’t think it was worth paying for myself, and my employer would pay for it as long as I kept working for them. Not sure that trade off was worth it in the end, and working while going to school was exhausting, but it was fun to both keep a career and get to be a grad student for a bit. It helped with practicing to work hard and manage my schedule well. I did also spend most of my career after this in ML so it helped with positioning and preparation to start taking ML-related roles, but there are a lot more companies now in the space where you can likely learn quickly by coming in as a junior engineer and learning on the job. Feel free to email me or send me a DM on Twitter if you have more specific questions I can help with. Info is in my profile.
I wouldn't call a doctor as long as I am below 40C, but thats maybe just me not wanting to uselessly overload the system... Other people seem to have different attitudes. Come to think of it, our local media just had an article saying doctors are asking patients to not come to the doctors office just because they have a little fever. A similar thing seems to happen in children ambulances. Doctors tell me that 90% of the cases there are just clogging the system and making it harder to find the 10% which really need immediate help.
How did you arrive at this conclusion?
Is Rust made by the CIA ? Because is sure has a lot of propaganda behind it.

OTOH is very slow to compile.

One advice for people wanting more adoption for Rust: don't write existing programs: shells, cat, ls, etc. We already have them. Write new programs which will be useful to a lot of people. And then the adoption will occur naturally.
I've heard horror stories about substack/medium censoring/closing blogs for unclear reasons. I would go selfhost.

My last uber ride was $30. For a single ad that would be a CPM of $30k. I don't see an ad alongside an uber ride reaching that level except for very specific destinations and times.
Businesses, especially small entities will simply dance to the tune being played. Elites refers to the technocratic policy bodies that influence regulation and legislation. In various places cash is actively deprecated even while the digital domain is a fiasco harboring enormous risks.

Btw I am not defending cash technology as such, I am offering an example of why the "logging off" option might be less available than what people think.
It looks ok but I think you would need to try and implement something in it to see if there are any problems. I was a bit wary of the programmatic parts at first but I see where they can be used to cut down on repitition in the grammar. I thought that the functions should be more different than the rules/identifiers for instance.

part = @bind(number, @uint(8,~)) & @uint(16,~) & number

Because if you are writing the grammar for a language you may have similar constructs.
Vulkan Compute hardly matters and DirectX future is on mesh shaders.

Also all major graphics vendors tend to create their hardware designs in collaboration with Microsoft as part of DirectX, and eventually add them as extensions to Khronos APIs.

So it hardly matters what Khronos is doing with Vulkan.
At this point, where the state stops, state enterprises start, pure business and extra/non legal associations lie in Russia is to some extent, semantic word games.

If you're talking about scientific research especially, not much because it was not a shortage of people that limited research.

Yes, just happened this morning... First, I received a GitHub notification without tag (I even didn't know how is it possible) then I was tagged in a comment to a README "I’m completely nak*d Wanna see the photo" plus a link (obviously)...

Yeah Foyles was excellent. Spent many an hour there, can’t say I have been in the last 15 years though.
That's what they are doing already. It's just that the human verification involves solving some captchas etc.
I agree. Hiring friends and family is dangerous in my view, unless you are running your own small company.

Alan C. Greenberg, former CEO of investment bank Bear, Stearns & Co. said (to paraphrase): "The problem with hiring friends and family: You hire 100% of the dummies." Bear had an incredibly strict policy about not hiring friends and family. As a result, I am always suspicious when people recommend to hire friends and family.
Yeah right now there's zero reason to buy a raspberry pi compared to what else is available for the performance. The scalpers are selling these raspberry pis at absurd prices. When new supply becomes available, I'll reconsider it.
MoltenVK acts as middleware and cannot support everything that isn't available on Metal.

Why use chatGPT instead of using the GPT-3 api directly?

For the type of queries you are doing (sending whole context), the output is comparable (and just as wrong) between chatGPT and GPT-3.
It's a mess of malignant attention whores and child predators. The servers that are good inevitably attract the bad types who, when removed, go out of their on way to take the server down. Don't waste your time.

Thanks, I didn't understand the downvote either. I just try to remember that your HN karma doesn't buy you anything real.

I was an early employee of a company that went public in the early 2000s with a market cap of $300M. You just don't see that anymore: companies these days are much larger when they IPO. It seems to me to be unfortunate, and SOX seems like the most likely culprit.
No. Ultrasound will not make it to the other side of a wall, especially not an outside wall.
That gets closer to a reasonable explanation for things — people executing those "information" campaigns were genuinely trying to make things better for people, perhaps motivated by their belief that, if they didn't do so, all would be lost.

It's a nice way to explain the consequence without resorting to accident or malice.

Nevertheless, in the end, they way overstepped what was needed or helpful.
The challenge isnt writing code. It is writing code that is relatively free of defects. It falls down hard on that point.
The number of iterations is needed for login. The user enters their email address and password, and the app needs to know (before they actually log in) how many iterations to apply. There are approaches like the OPAQUE protocol which avoid having the iterations count in the open, but LastPass didn’t implement that. To their defense, OPAQUE is relatively new.
Well, wouldn't it then be better to use the gas for that, and use other means for heating homes?
As if you could ever get $10 in advertising for a single person in a short amount of time. If Uber, or some other Wolf-of-Wallstreet-funded cash grabber, starts using the installs-for-cash scheme on a large scale, advertisers will no longer be willing to pay that amount of money. They won't subsidize your cab trip.

> So how would you push the prices even lower than UberPool?

By exploiting drivers harder?

But this sentence drove home the value of this article to me:

> (Special thanks to Chris Liu collaborating on these great mockups that really make the discussion in this essay pop!)

Those are not great mockups. They are Waze or Google Maps screenshots with an ad pasted onto them. If you're that addicted to hyperbole, your article should probably be taken with more than a grain of salt.
To clarify for other users, "dunning kruger issue" means:

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias[2] whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills.

This feels like another attempt by Uber to win the how-can-we-spank-our-VC-money- as-quickly-as-possible competition.
Just curious, who is actually "showing up"? I find it hard to imagine any software engineer or financial professional already in the industry would think an AI snippet was worth any serious consideration for trading.

Are these just new grads or students you're encountering in interviews or other online sites?
With difficulty. Can cause a great deal of stress unless you manage it.

Also getting a firm grounding in the fundamentals let’s you quickly take in new learning as mostly the new stuff is a rehash/reimplementation/pivot on old ideas.
I'm in my late 40s, people around me still comment that I'm radiating heat (and have commented that for at least 30 years), and I almost always feel too hot - used to walk with a short sleeve shirt in the dead of snowy winter when I lived in NYC.

But my temperature when measured is consistently below 36 celsius, often 35.
A lot of it is chosen male because female body is more complicated in some ways. We are just figuring things out with statistics and some things will be wrong if we cut out 50% of the population.

For a long time I've figured that profits to a company should be seen relative to cost to society, not just cost to the company. This is seriously broken and the driver behind most externalization effects.
Joel Spolsky has written extensively about avoiding bad hires. Average and above is the ultimate goal. I agree the impact of a bad hire far outweighs good hires because they consumer the time of managers. Good hires only need a quick steer now and again. Bad hires need a manager to spoon feed them until layoff season arrives.
How much of this was due to China's belt and road initiative?

> But you accept that Buffalo Wings contain no actual buffalo, right?

Let's go back to your original statement, shall we: "Why do meat eaters disguise things as burgers, sausages, and nuggets?"

No part of that statement ever said anything about buffalos. And wings don't disguise themselves as wings.

Also, Buffalo Wings have nothing to do with buffalos, and everything to do with Buffalo, New York.

> The term "vegetarian pork" may be vague an unappealing to you - but sales figures show it is pretty attractive to lots of people.

Because it turns out people crave meat, and the market is happy to disguise vegeterian/vegan food as meat. Including trying to replicate both taste and texture. Funnily, meat is never (or very very very rarely) disguised as vegetables.
This is why I quit social media years ago. There is no difference between a stream of posts from strangers and a stream of posts from bots. What I care is interaction with friends and FB wouldn't give it to me or not as effectively as WhatsApp and Telegram. So I ended up with WhatsApp groups and Telegram channels where I know first hand most of the people or more rarely I'm at one hop from them. The only place where I regularly interact with strangers is HN.
I like pair programming with the right person. It is very rewarding. What you describe sounds awful. I would tell them to stop immediately. If it continues, I would stop the pair programming session. What a pain.
On my wish list is the ability to quickly drop a pin/mark a location/make a short audio recording while I'm driving. I might spot a pothole I want to report, or see an interesting landmark about which I'd like to search more, or want to note down the number plate of a misbehaving vehicle. When driving through unfamiliar roads/places, I've no way to track where and what I exactly I saw.
Personall I was surprised a lot of functional prompts include "you are xxx" at the top and it works. I also tested it as pretty effective in certain models(GPT) and not in others (Bloom) .

As those are essentially text generation / continuation models one could expect them to continue in the same fashion. An example from the article. Prompt "You are an assistant helping a user write more content(..) Use markdown (...) Do not use links". Here I would expect the AI to output something like a literal continuation of the prompt for example: "Make it interesting and engaging. Keep it to 5 pages long" etc.

However, we see an actual output as we expect. This leads me to believe those models were trained on specially crafted materials that contain stuff in this format. I wonder how much and if it was human written or generated.

This makes one realise the training data is really what makes the model. Just looking at a difference in chatgpt (supposedly 11b+ words training set) being much better than (bloom 300b words training set) illustrates it well.
How many people on Hacker News do you know, or is that just a way to say you're looking for work right now?

People here have experimented with using GPT-3 to generate comments and content shared here, well before chatGPT was released; while it can sometimes be a bit suspicious, it can also get up-voted: https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/16/21371049/gpt3-hacker-news...

This might be a too sanguine view that flies on the face of countless warning signs. All digital behavior inceasingly happens through the same mobile device which had been a true wild west, commingling vast personal information islands (location, behavior, health/biometric, financial etc).

Social media apps have already manifested themselves (in the East) as "super apps" and purportetdly this might also be the target business model for some western outfits
