the real “redpill” in all this is that chatgpt is a feature not a product; if microsoft work out a form factor that is cost efficient at search engine scale, google is more than capable of copying it. unlike the annual halfhearted google chat app, this needs no network effect and in fact google beats msft at the one network effect that does matter here: indexing the web.

I guess they decided Bing doesn't suck enough already, so they want to make it even worse.

Hey Microsoft, how about instead of adding chatgpt, filter the results so Bing actually works as a search engine? That is, select only the search results that contain the search terms, rather than returning the whole internet in an order somewhat influenced by the search terms.

Have you seen the advances in robotics during the past decade? Very soon the powerful will be able to use such robots to crush any revolt, even if it's 99% vs 1%. Not to mention that those same people control virtually all human communication, so organizing a revolt against their opposition would be nearly impossible anyway.

Wow, MBA battery replacement will be $159 (plus tax). [1]

I sure hope there's more room for my M2 MBA battery to grow than there was for my 2017 Intel MBP. I had no choice but to replace that one after a few years because the case was so swollen it couldn't close.

I understand charging a lot for optional battery replacements. But it feels different when I don't have a choice, even if I just want to use it plugged in and don't care how long the battery lasts.

Japan is, however, unique simply in being at least 10 years ahead on the demographic curve compared to any other aging country, so they're a crystal ball of where we're all going.

Also, it's not meaningful to say "France is doing worse except for the immigrants", because the immigrants are there for good and they're having children, taking jobs, paying taxes, etc, which changes the equation for everybody else as well.

Not sure, but sounds like a great gimmick for dating apps.
You're right, but i can't edit anymore unfortunately.
Also to note: older generations were more used to crappy work conditions.

They didn’t enjoy it, oh no, and we saw the endless battles to get rid of dangerous and body crushing jobs, all the fight for unions, workers getting shot during strikes etc. And many traditional jobs were just a step below in terms of pressure and work hours.

In a way, their wish for a better future for their children mostly got realized, and a lot of traditional occupations didn’t or couldn’t adapt to that mindset.

The family business in the article is a farmer in the north, and by today’s standard it’s usually a brutal job, “work life balance” is basically an imaginary concept, there’s little leeway for error (forget to turn some knob just once in the dozens of time you do it in a day, and you have a month worth of production gone away), and you’re facing enough natural and economic odds that investment is basically akin to gambling.

meta question but is it fair to report someone else’s scoop but bury that fact in the last sentence 4 paragraphs into the article? as a result of this burying Bloomberg gets to the top of HN rather than The Information which got the actual story. If I were that reporter i’d be pissed.

We've been doing this for over 6 months at work, and whilst it seems to be ok, its still not 100% clear its working... I think you need to have many other things working well before implementing such a routine.

That would be true if HBD people came to random, or even just varied, conclusions about gene/intelligence determinism, but of course, they come to a consistent and specific conclusion about it: a hierarchy of race-determined intelligence that goes Asians, Europeans, Everything Else, and then people of African ancestry.

I would be somewhat wary of this idea. Because bots like ChatGPT will oversell and it is kinda creep.

Current search ads display options and let you filter through which is neat, but ChatGPT like agent will shred the original content and make it invisible to distinguish which is ads, and worse false advertising, which is not.

I think let ChatGPT to infer the attribution automatically and do a revenue sharing with original link owner will be a better option.
I am not sure why this is different from search. Just show relevant ads on the right hand side of the page. If they are useful, people will click them too.

I hadn't realised the certbot implementation was quite that bonkers. A while ago I spent far too long trying to get certbot+nginx working sensibly in docker, before giving up and using caddy instead, which embeds an ACME implementation into the HTTP server. I can't speak to the quality of it though.
Yes. Without a doubt. Newspapers were supposed to be curators of valuable content, but most went down the road of click-bait for advertising. I've also tried paid solutions, but most fail with the exception of the economist. Its the only one I pay for today....

While not endorsing the sentiment that we should disregard literally everything this author ever says, there are a variety of ways to be a "heretic from left-wing ideological orthodoxy", and "racial supremacist" is a particularly bad one.

This is bad. This is a whole new level of disinformation. ChatGPT regularly produces wrong information that reads very convincingly. This is prematurely adopting bleeding edge technology just for the positive press it will bring. Microsoft, stop immediately.

I (also westerner) would still like to see RISC-V succeed, doesn't mean ARM has to fail but open competition is likely to be good in the long term.

An ISA won't let China become a leader in semiconductor unless they implement it better than both western implementations of RISC-V and than ARM/Intel, the only thing it does is give an incentive to not rest on our laurels

I am also fundamentally uneasy about fundamental technologies being based on just a handful of companies, whether they are western or not, I know it happens but the less it happens the better imo

Reminds me of what we dubbed "the cosmic ray incident."

During college, we were arranged in groups of 2 or 3 to do some pair programming for the more complicated exercises.

I had attached the debugger and had set a variable to 99, so the loop would execute one more time and we could test if our changes would work.

Went through the instructions step by step, and suddenly we got a segmentation fault. Between setting it to 99 and it accessing some data later on, the value changed to 107.

Quite a bit of confusion ensued. I made a backup of the executable before recompiling. Running them again, both the new version and the backup worked perfectly. The files matched bit for bit. To this day we have no idea what caused that bit flip.

No. Both x86 and ARM are very expensive to emulate on another ISA, primarily because of the intricate details of updating their respective status registers / condition codes after each instruction. In an emulator, getting that right takes a lot more work than doing the actual add or xor or whatever the instruction appears to do.

RISC-V on the other hand is very easy to emulate at high performance because it doesn't have condition codes at all. Rather than doing something like "cmp A,B;blt foo" as x86 and ARM do (with the result of the cmp stored in the condition codes), the equivalent RISC-V code is "blt a,b,foo".
This is the real AI threat. Soon it will be all too easy to engineer novel viral proteins hardened against all known drugs with lethal consequences. You’ll just have to have faith that there’s no deranged grad student out there with genocidal intentions.
Very excited to see increased competition here!

I'm very interested in the UX decisions they make here. Is it just going to be ChatGPT with a Bing logo or will it be able to intelligently decide when a search engine is better? Will it give results in natural language?

If they sometimes do normal search instead at least that answers how they'll make money
I think a synchronous meeting should only be scheduled when there is value in being synchronous.

Else, every synchronous meeting should be possible to be replaced with other forms of asynchronous communication.

Status meetings are the simplest one to replace: just add a bot that asks everybody what are you working on and then sends a summary with all the answers to the team.

Don't ask people if they are blocked or if they know what to work on next day. Teach/support/grow/encourage them to announced when they are blocked as soon as that happens and to know to whom to announce that. Teach them to ask for help when help is needed and ping a colleague to discuss the matter.

Support people asking their PMs/Business/... about priorities. Don't set the culture of waiting for priorities to be announced at fixed points as priorities should be able to be changes quickly and each team should have info boards where the priorities are cleary expresses.

It is very easy to create a culture where everything is fixed by a meeting. Thus everybody belives the meetings are the only answer to communication. You can see this in some comments here where people are asking: if we don't do a daily meeting how can we work as a team?

If you ask this you are putting an equal between communication and meeting, but that is not true.

A team cannot work without _communication_, but synchronous meetings are only one of the many ways to communicate.

I'll guess practical compiler books that goes down to assembly would also be helpful, especially those for those with inclination to language implementations. So far, I haven't read any though, and hope rui314's book comes out some day.
Noted, thank you. So why not source-available? I assumed you already published the non-copyrightable ideas in your public whitepaper. Is there a concern that even if the sources are made available under a "look but don't touch" basis (essentially all rights reserved) competitors would still gain an advantage by copying the non-copyrightable stuff like processes or ideas? (that are already public through the whitepapers and could reasonably still be obtained via reverse-engineering of the client binaries)
Even more pedantically, modern stuff uses equal-temperament, not well-temperament.

Well-temperament still has different intervals depending on key. Even temperament just uses x^n/12 for note n and basis frequency x.

Hmm? Why guess? Each provider has public sites with graphs of demand and generation. Here's the CalISO one: https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx showing a funny camel shape today of an 8AM morning peak (heating) and then a 5:30 PM peak. What we can't see is the demand that would be placed on the grid around solar noon, if it weren't being serviced directly by panels.

Industrial and commercial customers often engage in Demand/Response programs though (primarily for building HVAC), so if there's a likely residential spike, they can shed some of their load.

Yep, housing in Japan isn't really that expensive, as there's lots of options for very small and inexpensive places to live. You can also get extremely low-interest housing loans here.

They're not going to make it illegal to build housing in places where people want to live; that would require a huge change to the national zoning law, which would never happen. The current law works extremely well. Other countries really should learn from Japan's example, as urban planning here is fantastic compared to anyplace else I've been.
I think the main reason the Bloomberg article got to the top rather than the source (theinformation) is that The Information is beyond a paywall that you can't bypass.

Good question about journalistic ethics.
I love this idea. Concepts like this is useful for making a tighter connection between the real world and the online world.
> If you don't mind me asking, how do you deal with this kind of culture, where a normal process is being purposefully obstructed with such behavior from the reviewer?

A huge part of the explanation is survivor bias IMO. The vast majority of undergrads who start in life science labs wind up leaving after a few months due to some bad experience (or at least lack of a sufficiently positive experience; life science is mostly failure). A large proportion of PhD students leave for industry jobs (tech, biotech, smaller subset to finance/consulting) because academic faculty jobs are very hard to come by and require making very little money for a long time. The only people left for the long haul are sufficiently motivated by the upsides (see below) to deal with the bureaucracy and problems of academic life.

> Do you ever call people out who sprinkle their "reviews" with such passive aggression? What is their defense?

Reviews are anonymous (this is now becoming controversial), and most people wouldn't jeopardize the acceptance of their paper just to call out a reviewer being an asshole. Slight saving grace is that the journal editor (who sits between authors and reviewers) has the final say, and can override unreasonable reviewers (in principle).

> What highlights does your profession have that make it worth putting up with this?

In fairness, some upsides if you make it: intellectual freedom (carte blanche to study anything you can get funded), sense of significance of advancing the frontier of medicine, freedom to work on and profit from startups if your tech is translatable (there is a surprising number of millionaire++ biology professors), very good job security, etc. Some would argue that many/most biotech companies take from 1 to N technologies that academic labs brought from zero to one. Some examples: mRNA vaccines, numerous cancer immunotherapies, CRISPR/Cas genome editing, recombinant insulin. Just look at the Nobel Prize in Medicine list – nearly all academic work.

>Japan hasn't done this, and they're notoriously anti-immigration.

No, they're not. Immigration laws were reformed completely in the last decade, and it's extremely easy to immigrate here if you have valuable skills. Lots of service jobs are also being filled by immigrants from SE Asia now.
I'm aware, but it is not an issue if you only use it with your own data. You can even cryptographically sign it.
It really depends on the publication. In a past life, I was a newspaper reporter in a town with two papers. There were strict guidelines against doing this. If you lost the scoop, well, too bad.

I have seen this behavior more often in Europe but I guess it might be a thing in the US now too - I have been away from the day-to-day journalism scene for a long time.
