I really worry about the meta effects that Search is having on the internet. Google has slowly degraded as the internet has morphed into being almost entirely an SEO driven contraption. It's now very difficult to find good original information because it's overwhelmed with spam. Whether that be websites that copy that original information but pushes you through a maze of adverts, serving you what looks like original information but is actually just manufactured content, or straight up astroturf. All of these effects work to make real original work less economical and less valuable - it has no value if no one can find it. If you do something worthwhile on the internet it'll be stolen and no one will care anyway, because no one will beleive it.

Now ChatGPT is 1 further step of intermediation. No longer are you competing with everyone else to get noticed by Google search, hoping Google actually has an incentive to bring people to your valuable page. No, now ChatGPT will just serve your stuff to the customer, having stolen your stuff wholesale with no chance of ever actually referencing you. Given that new situation why would anyone ever produce any text of value for the internet? Why? To pump MSFT share price? Well you won't. So what will be produced? Massive amounts (even more) of trash information will be pumped out, raising the noise floor and in turn bringing down the quality of ChatGPT, and who's to say what's right! The whole point of Google was to figure out what was right from the organic structure of the internet, but if you replace the organic structure with Google and ChatGPT there's no one left providing the original information that these services will use.

Yes, but, compared to higher level languages, idiomatic C++ is significantly unsafe and the difference b/w C and C++ gets scaled down to the point where it rounds to zero.

Yeah I found his problem in the first line of the article

> KrebsOnSecurity recently had occasion to contact the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the Russian equivalent of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The FSB is not equivalent to the FBI, it's the successor to the KGB. If it's equivalent to any other country's org, look to the Gestapo.
When it works it is great. I've been using it instead of Google a lot too, but when it makes mistakes it requires someone familiar with a subject to detect it. I'm not sure if it is ready to be used as as a search engine by everyone.

For example recently I asked it for the best way to search in an mbox file on arch Linux. It proceeded to recommend a number of tools including mboxgrep. When I asked how to install it on arch it gave me a standard response using the package manager, but mboxgrep is not an arch package. It isn't even an aur package. It requires fetching the source and building it by yourself(if I remember correctly one has to use an older version of gcc too). None if it was mentioned by chatgpt.

This is not the first time BTW, there was another software it recommended that Debian doesn't know about, when I asked it another time.
There's an X11 version of hnefatafl at https://gitlab.com/soderlund/hnefatafl - while this probably could be made to compile on NeXTstep (e.g., using the CubX X11 server), I don't think this was officially provided with the OS?

You are right, the non-seo-spam pages aren't gone (but hard to find in all the spam, which is what GP is "mourning"). So, the incentive is the same for those, but the incentive for seo-spam pages goes down. Which might improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
There are certainly a lot of people like this (and naturally they are probably not going to be folks we interact with/see much), if it works for you and you still do your best to be a kind person whenever possible then I'd say go for it.

General Purpose Bullshitting Technology. I've always found LLMs most useful as assistants when working on things I'm already familiar with, or as don't-trust-always-verify high temperature creatives.

Arion is a Nix wrapper tool for docker-compose. Nix is handy for use as a template language. It is actually closer to a general-purpose language than to a template engine, so I guess what you want can be implemented manually, since it only requires config file generation.

I don't see how you can compare energy efficiency between something powered by electricity and something powered by natural gas. They're two entirely different energy sources. The electric one doesn't involve putting more CO2 into the atmosphere, at least directly. And cost is completely variable, as electric and gas prices both vary wildly depending on location and time (gas became much more expensive in the last year).
I think is funny how the DW tries to push a totally different discussion to the english version then what is being discussed internally in Germany. The "Violence linked to display of masculinity?" is just embarrassing.
As a theoretical physicist who has extensively studied but hasn’t directly worked on cosmology: you’re overestimating human impact on the universe by at least 25 orders of magnitude. The entire solar system can explode tomorrow and it would be less impactful to the universe than an ant dying on earth. You’re nothing to the universe, read less doomsday crap.
China has spent ages trying to get their local MIPS derivatives to a place where they're competitive, but haven't succeeded. Adopting or not adopting RISC-V (which is only an ISA, not an actual platform) won't make a lick of difference.
I'm not sure if it's entirely due to the camera position or if there are other factors (e.g. differences between the camera optics and your eye's) but I can confirm that using a device without reprojection results in quite extreme distortion for objects closer than an arm's length.

Which unfortunately includes your hands.

> The heat pump has a coefficient of performance (COP) of three to four, which means that it produces 3 kW to 4 kW of heat for each kilowatt of power it consumes. "We have the same efficiency as traditional heat pumps, but we have better modulation thanks to acoustic transfer"

So, no advantage from an energy efficiency point of view. The ability to modulate is certainly good, but they don't provide figures. My inverter air-source heat pump can modulate in the 1-8 kW range. How much better are they? Maybe they are more efficient in the whole modulation range. I'd love to see figures.

> Loyer said the heat pump can generate domestic water at up to 80 C.

That could certainly be an advantage. Traditional R410, R32 based heat pump are happy up to 45 C and then they really start to feel the heat (pun intended :) )

> helium at a pressure of 30 bars

I doubt that will last the stated 30 years. Gases such as hydrogen and helium are very hard to contain. Even the smallest crack or gasket problem will let it go.

> Given that its core is filled with water, it works best as a water-source and geothermal heat pump

Huge disadvantage IMO. Air source heat pumps are way easier and cheaper to install and service and work even in residential buildings. Most of the pumps I see installed around are air-source. They say that they can convert to air-source using a fan, but don't state what the disadvantages will be (e.g. wrt efficiency)

>Equium claims that the heat pump system is completely silent, despite the use of a speaker to generate the acoustic wave. The level of noise is reportedly lower than 30 dB – the equivalent of a whisper.
This could be a big advantage in residential areas. Big air source heat pumps emit a lot of noise from the compressor.

> Equium is now conducting field tests for its thermos-acoustic heat pump. It expects to launch it at the end of 2023

Wold love to see some MSRP figures. Interested in early adoption in Bulgaria, Greece and the region (EU). My overall opinion is that factory made air-source heat pumps are overpriced compared to an AC unit with the same output power. That is why lots of people over here do a conversion by replacing the refrigerant-air heat exchanger with commercially available plate refrigerant-water exchangers. This however voids the warranty of the AC unit and you have to do some custom electronics to convince the AC unit that it is still and AC unit, while still providing the desired water temperature (mine works best in the 33-38C range, but my whole heating system is sized accordingly).
A benefit of microservices is that you can use specialised languages for different parts of the system. The core of your system might be written in Java but you might one to use Python for an ML heavy module. Nonetheless, I tend to agree that in an organisation with 100 microservices probably the ideal way would be to have 4 or 5 based on exceptions where you have modules that need a specific hardware profile (e.g. a lot of RAM) or a different programming language than your core system. Everything else could go into modules in a megaservice.

Ruby is my favorite language, and often it is a joy to use because of its combined attributes of brevity, expressive power, and feature consistency.

It's disappointing that there are so many more jobs for another popular language - one that lacks the elegance and consistency but which has a larger ecosystem.

As far as I know, the only well known reason for a company to choose Ruby is if they want Rails (and obviously if the founding team already knows/likes Ruby). But that other language also has a popular (and comparatively clumsy) web framework plus well known modules for all the fantasy capabilities that startups dream of... you know, the AI/ML "not sure how we will use it but we know it will be great, and it's good for marketing".

Sadly, I don't expect this situation to reverse in the future. Maybe like blockchain, once the AI/ML fantasy hype dies down the other comparatively-unpleasant language will lose general appeal and Ruby will gain more attention.

Edit - also, the domain squatters "rubylang.org" should lose their domain. There is no legitimate excuse for having this domain which redirects to a general garbage site.

Typically much better efficiency since a gas heater is only 100% efficient, maybe up to 200% relative efficiency if the electricity comes from a faraway gas turbine.

It's not available for ChatGPT but the other GPT models can expose the probability for each generated token, which can serve as a proxy for confidence.

Tuning the temperature and topP parameters you can also make the model avoid low probability completions (useful for less creative use cases where you need exact answers).
I don't completely agree here.

Yes, if you can't scale fast enough as you need to, it can hurt your business. Not being able to keep up with demand is a (luxury) problem that every business faces, not just in tech. They would often be called 'growing pains' in a business, and though they are bad, they rarely contribute to the failure of a company.

Starting a startup/service/platform with microservices before you even understand the bottlenecks/market fit/customers is usually not a good idea. You can come a very, very long way with a monolith before you hit performance and scalability limits. And once you do, you can always start breaking things up into smaller services for scalabity. Obviously you need to make sure you are scaling on time to keep up with demand.

'Nail it, then scale it', and 'premature optimization is the mother of all f-ups' are popular sayings for a reason.
Norse was a very breathy language, hence all the h's and f's.

I would be very cautious with declared lifetime of non-existing things, all Equium (and seemingly the other player Blueheart, that state a much more conservative 15 years lifetime) have right now are laboratory prototypes.

If you check the Blueheart "About" site here:

https://www.blueheartenergy.com/

they have nice pictures of the various prototypes and of the (supposedly final) product, you can appreciate at a glance how different they look, and it wouldn't be the first time that expected lifetime (estimated on prototypes) results vary for the industrialized product.

You're mixing up the term "AR" with specific implementations of it.

People are now using "MR" to mean something distinct from AR but GP and myself are arguing that the term AR was broad enough to encompass passthrough, overlay and any future developments.

If someone built a VR headset that used small projectors rather than flat panel displays, we wouldn't need to invent a new term for it. The AR <> VR spectrum was all we needed and MR is just muddle on top of that.
It's a good point that the organic structure that PageRank or whatever relied on and that used to exist may not exist any more. The same question has been asked about what happens when everyone uses index funds, and the answer is probably the same. You have to pay the organic structure creators with some incentives. Maybe if Google/Bing/ChatGPT discovers some data that increases its accuracy it should be forced to pass on some money to the data source.
Between populations there are bound to be differences, but there are a bunch of issues with trying to map that basic fact on to racial IQ rankings:

1) Race isn’t a well-defined variable. It’s socially-constructed. Example: Italian-Americans have not always been considered white. And many people are mixed race.

2) Intelligence isn’t a great metric either. I’m not even convinced it’s a single number. There are people who are great at maintaining dozens of relationships, and can remember things about each person. There are people who are killer at problem solving. And there are people who have uncanny kinesthetic coordination. Which one is more fundamental to human cognitive tasks?

3) Distributions. What do we care about within a population? Is it the mean? That tells us nothing about how skewed the population is. Is it the median? There are problems with that as well. The population could have a bimodal or multimodal distribution. Then what?

4) Confounding variables. You know what’s a lot easier to measure than IQ? Money. Unfortunately a person’s quality of education is highly correlated to the wealth of their parents. And so is stress, which knocks down IQ as well. And there are a ton of other confounding variables too that I don’t know about because I’m not a social scientist. If you do a straight-up tally of IQ you’re not necessarily even measuring anything cognitive at all.
Hey, I still have my Cox 049 engine somewhere. The airplane is gone, smashed up of course. I suppose it was dangerous by modern standards, but not at the time. About the worst it would do would cut your finger if it backfired when starting. Or you could use a cheater stick, or even an electric motor to start it.

I once made a car for it out of piano wire. It would take off at high speed down the road, but because I never could get the wheels aligned perfectly straight it would inevitably try to turn and flip into a wild crash.

That's one of the reasons more and more sites are starting to require sign-up to continue reading the article. So only provide a summary of your article to search engines and users can access the rest by the annoying sign up (or captcha). But that also means less of the content is searchable so the summary you provide for search engines has to be really good (maybe even AI can help to produce this summary).

And it's probably not just big companies we will have to worry about because at least they can be somewhat regulated and they are in the public eye. The other "threat" in the future is the "distributed" AI when people can run their own personal AI assistants that could collect information for them by any means (singing up to to websites, e-mailing, calling people, talking to other AI agents) and with filtering out ads and sponsored content. At that point probably everything worthwhile will be paywalled and the "SEO" game will be to convince/trick these AIs to sing up / pay for your content.

I don't think so. It doesn't understand what it says, it basically does interpolation between text it copy-pastes in a very impressive manner. Still it does not "understand" anything, so it cannot have any kind of confidence.

Take Stable Diffusion for instance: it can interpolate a painting from that huge dataset it has, and sometimes output a decent result that may look like what a good artist would do. But it doesn't have any kind of "creative process". If it tells you "I chose this theme because it reflects this deep societal problem", it will just be pretending.

It may not matter if all you want is a nice drawing, but when it's about, say, engineering, that's quite different.
