What is the difference in value between a person that pastes questions into ChatGPT and then pastes the results to your feed versus a browser extension that does the same exact thing for you?

It’s not really a fun party trick if literally everyone can do it. If I want to know what GPT has to say about something, I can find out myself in seconds.
Well, yes and no. I guess it might change it a little. Plenty of things are learned quite early though, so it might be some learned skill that happens so early that the person themselves are not responsible for it. I mean it's a bit of a complex question isn't it?
That'd require people to read comments, and that's not really a thing we do here anymore.
Legit genius, there's still so much to mine from that.

I would love word2vec for arbitrary media. The interpolating ML algos are half there, like the one that interps between musical genres, or the music video image generator one.

There has to be some part of the brain that thinks TV is real.
An interesting thing that I have experienced is that a lot of recruiters and companies don’t care about your experience. All they care about is the exact experience they are looking for. In a world where most people stay in a position for a while, it’s only natural to gain a lot of experience and responsibility but not necessarily broad experience. So in that case, it would be very hard to switch jobs, industries, etc.

So what I am curious about is, did companies used to hire in less myopic ways?
yes, i can. from a simple search: https://sourceforge.net/software/web3/

it's a matter of understanding here. web3 is a set of technologies (decentralization, blockchains, etc.). once you understand that you know that with or without crypto it can stand on its own. (oh i mean cryptocurrency just in case you didn't get it).
A modern analogy is remotely-piloted aircraft / drones. These come in several variants. Related to the article, they can be dangerous; ie they reach high speeds, high altitudes, contain 1 or more rotating blades, contain high-energy batteries, and sometimes don't have great failure modes in the event of lost link, out of batteries etc.

I think a fundamental difference re the article's description is modern drones are capable of being flown safely. There are ways to build, maintain, and fly them safely, and ways for them to end in tragedy. It sounds like the 70s toys are dangerous as a default.

Some sub-categories for anyone not familiar:

- DJI quadcopters: The most popular type. Command-based controls; they're generally safe, easy to fly etc. Use electric motors and lithium batteries. Popular with photographers, as a toy etc
- FPV quadcopters and fixed-wing aircraft: Often have a degree of DIY and custom builds. Run one of several open-source firmware. Can go really fast, are very maneuverable, and can be flown for long distances. Can have various safety issues such as reckless flying when near people or animals, flying too far from the operator or with obstacles in the way without a good lost-link response etc. User assembly can lead to problems like weak solder joints coming loose. Various degrees of automation including autonomous flight, manned-AC-style autopilot modes, and angular-rate-based manual control.
- Model airplanes: Commonly flown by an older demographic at airfields, with direct line-of-sight between the pilot and aircraft. Control signals directly command control surfaces without a flight controller. May be ICE or battery-powered. Community-enforced safety standards. Less likely to go lost-link due to no BVLOS capability.
You would think so but too many people get really comfortable and never expand their skills beyond the minimum required to do their current job. Last year I had an SRE position open I had to interview over three dozen people before I found one guy who could explain anything he had done in any detail. Everybody else was probably in the room when someone else did something, but could not give details of what was done, why it was done a particular way, or what they might do the same or differently if they did it again.

Some of the people I had to be honest with - if they are paying you the kind of money you say to reset passwords and stare at the wall, you should stay where you are and make sure that wall never leaves your sight.

Quiet quitting are people doing their job. If you suffered, it's because you were expecting slave labor.
So, web3 doesn’t rely on crypto so long as you define the term in a way that’s inconsistent with how it’s basically universally used today?
Maybe I'm in the minority at this point, but I like talking to people, not robots.

If you think there's no difference, why not just cease all contact with other humans and spend the rest of your life talking to ChatGPT since you love it so much?
legal, yes. judicious, no.
If you just ignore the non-compete, you can make them do the suing.
Switch to contexts and add the same secret under multiple names
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. I imagine the first person to carve a stick figure into a rock impressed some folks. Soon enough, the entire village experimented with carving figures into rocks. The smart ones mimicked the techniques of the good ones, and made it better. Soon, the village was flooded with various artworks of stick figures, some more intricate than others. Some had wobly lines, some lines as straight as a ruler.

Eventually the expectations changed. No longer was the village impressed with stick figures. A distinction had to be made between the average stick figure carvers and the good ones. They called them "artists".

Eventually someone figured out how to add color. The cycle repeats and expectations changed, the average distinguished from the talented. No longer was drawing a stick figure without color considered art. To be an artist, you had to use color.

Then someone showed up with a brush, then Photoshop, then Stable Diffusion. In the year 2023, expectations changed, yet again. And the average were separated from the talented, and the best prompt writers were considered artists.

In the year 2040...
There is a difference between virus and malware no?
Debatable.

I find JavaScript's type system to be horrendous and bug prone. I'd rather operations between two types that don't make sense (like dividing an Array by an Object) to throw an explicit error than to just do some unpredictable shit that causes a subtle bug.

Also, BASIC is probably the easiest language to learn, though this is mostly because it lacks capabilities that create complexities. It's a completely obsolete language.
The majority of names on the FreeBSD list are relatively inactive.
On an extreme tangent; it's, its follows the punctuation rules for singular 3rd person pronouns

it's is a contraction of it+is; e.g. it's good = it is good, c.f. he's good = he is good, she's good = she is good.

its is the possessive; e.g. its mouth is open, c.f. his mouth is open, her mouth is open. (ours, yours, theirs)

The consistent misuse of punctuation had been pretty jarring.
Survived two or three ice ages at least ... although the gene pool got pretty small at one point. On the plus side, all the easy fossil fuels won't be around any more. Life finds a way with DNA, so there might be more competition.
For me it's 80KG. Once it goes over 80KG I would gradually feel all kinds of bad things so I'll start to lose weight, but then it's so easy to get back. I don't really think willpower helps here. I mean unless I can do it for the whole life, it will bounce back quickly.
I don't know of any church that considers it canonical. I think it certainly reflects what folks thought about the enigmatic Genesis 6:1-4 text before and around the time of Christ.

I'd love that so much. I get paid a noncompete and can go on to work for someone else and how are they going to find out?
If you're not getting anywhere aiming up at programming and directly technical roles, have a go at coming in sideways via data entry, field aquisition, installation, cable pulling roles .. or even "non IT" industries (as everywhere has computers and software these days).

I landed two of my more interesting programming roles via jobs that started as something "other than" (for the change) and found myself migrating into industry specific problem solving internally as I had the knack (programming and higher math) and an inside track.
Can you point to anything specific which you’ve actually used which isn’t a cryptocurrency sales vehicle? That page mentions “crypto”, “NFT”, “defi”, etc. many times.
Genuine concern doesn't respond to hostility by calling it "boring", even if it does stoop to the old "check your shoe" canard. Anyway, your whole basis for "concern" is that the person expressed a strong negative opinion. As evidence for depression, that's, ah, weak.
>The federation is not like email(besides in the technical details).

We are on Hacker News. You can't in good faith ignore the technical details.

Especially when they directly affect the functioning of the entire system, and "run your own instance" is every other "objection" to my criticism.

>The email equivalent would be a mailing list, and mailing lists have moderation.

>I joined my Mastodon instance, just as I would join a mailing list, for the community and moderation

Great!

Except this is not how Mastodon is pitched as: a Twitter alternative, a federated social network, where an account represents a person.

What you describe is a good, old webforum (or, indeed, a mail list), with admins who can kick you off of one, end of story.... with the caveat that should a post on a mail list anger a moderator, they can nuke your entire email account.

Mastodon instance accounts, as you said, are akin to forum accounts. It's phpBB with benefits.

Which is fine, but that falls very short of the promise of a federated Twitter.

>I would appreciate a response from you that is more than yelling out a logical fallacy like a grade schooler.

You are welcome to point out the fallacy instead of yelling like a grade schooler.

Please cite specific passages in either of my comment that you find fallacious, what you think is instead true, and we can go from there.

"I will ignore your questions, and call you names because I like Mastodon and this feels critical" isn't a logical argument.
I'm with you except for the cold vaccines line. Did you mean flu vaccines?
> When NRx people talk about chattel slavery, they're really talking about chattel slavery. Like, Calvin Candie style.

I suspect you're quite right as to where most real-world HBD-pushers are coming from. If this is your reason for your remark ITT that "HBD is generally problematic, and does tend to demand a response", I of course agree with that. I'll even sympathize with the intuition that engaging at all with such notions is by all indications a bad idea.

But when the guy who chooses to wrestle with some of these ideas is someone who has previously taken the time to logically and comprehensively debunk absolute monarchy, of all things, I think there just might be some room for extending the benefit of doubt.
Can you give one (1) example of a web3 project (that doesn’t involve crypto) that you use/have contributed to/know anybody that uses?

Most of the links in that arbitrary search page include crypto terms in the description, and I’m guessing that most (all?) of them include them after clicking through.

You have personal knowledge of many web3 use cases that don’t involve crypto. Do you have a single example?
I received an email to my inbox but a few of my colleague did not.
That kind of depends on what exactly you are talking about. From a financial statement perspective, Amazon chooses to only disclose revenue from AWS separately from the rest of the business. That's more to do with reporting regulations regarding what needs to be reported once those earnings reach a certain threshold of the entire business - which AWS passed (previously to this threshold being reached, they did not even separate AWS in their earnings reports).

Internally, Amazon structures their teams into divisions. There is a retail division, and part of that division works on Alexa (mainly, the shopping skills and shopping experience, trying to make shopping on Amazon with Alexa as easy as possible) - but the main Alexa organization is not under "retail" at Amazon, which includes the actual device development, hardware teams, ML related to voice processing, etc. Same story with Prime Video.
I'm actually thinking about going serious about healing the gut microbiomes. The sugar part is the most difficult. It's very easy to eat food that helps and consume probiotics, but a life without sugar...Jesus I'd rather die.

Somehow I became a sugar person from a meat person after I immigrated to Canada. Not sure what the cause was though.
Then you know why 99.999% of the users won't, and telling someone to do it doesn't address any criticism of either system.
blood for the blood god.

It's not good for the soul to work for somebody who doesn't appreciate your contributions.

The Amazon refugees with talent and ability will find work, hopefully with places that will cherish them. Those without talent and ability can use this kick in the pants as a wake up call to sort their shit out.

This. Creative had scale and ability to reduce costs for both E-MU and Ensoniq. These companies had extensive silicon design and fab experience (Dave Rossum is still at it in fact) that could have been leveraged and some truly innovative products could have been made.

Still computer software was rapidly eating the Audio hardware market and things like samplers started to seem both redundant and one and the same thing. (Akai s5000 and Z series were basically a pc)

I’m sure it was not an easy call to kill the hardware business for emu/ensoniq but I wish they hadn’t.

Edit: I will also forever think of this video when I hear the name creative labs-

No surprise there, AI is the current flavor-of-the-year solution-to-every-problem-ever techbro gimmick that people are only jumping on because they think they can make a quick buck on it if they jump on ASAP. A year or two from now, it will hopefully return to the background where it belongs, it has already done more than enough damage to the internet.
I want the following option in my account settings for all critical services:

[X] In case of a "security incident", lock down my account until I take action.

I understand why they can't do that by default, but it's crazy that every time this happens, I have to run in order to secure my assets when in many cases, I'd be perfectly fine with things just shutting down until I have time to take care of them.

Better yet, also give me a button that does this even when there's no official incident reported. That means disabling all access tokens, resetting the password, halting any scheduled jobs, and revoking access for any connected OAuth services until I manually re-enable them.
Ugh, finally. Crypto is good for nothing. Just leave us alone so we can build shit in peace.
No because it violates the WARN act. [1]

IANAL but if they paid 60 days severance as Musk promised, that might legally be considered 60 days of employment and would not violate WARN. But they didn't actually do that despite Musk's assertions.

You're confusing Semantic Web (also known as Web 3.0) with "web3".

Kale is one of the most calorie dense leafy greens and it tops out at 80 kcal per 100 grams, meaning you'd need to eat about 3.7 kilograms of kale to get 3000 kcal.

That is a lot of kale.

US doesn’t give out a permanent residency based on how long you lived in the country. There’s only a few common paths to immigration: employment sponsored (2-20 years), marriage based (1-3 years), other family based (2-20 years), investor based (1-3 years). Student or tourist years don’t matter.

The (very large) alternator will power the onboard electrical systems and charge the chassis/equipment batteries while the engine is running.

When sitting in a truck bay, there’s a shore line providing mains power to keep everything charged — we’re generally talking a 10-16A draw.

That’s easily met with a small generator, as opposed to the insane power draw a full EV battery would require.
> I don't see it in this way. People are genuinely excited about ChatGPT and are finding ways to build apps around it.

A year or two ago, these exact same "people" were "genuinely excited" about blockchain and were finding ways to "build apps" around it despite having no idea what a blockchain even was. There is literally no difference.
It's not fully deterministic. A minor change in the prompt will cause different results.

In my case, it gave me wrong results.

Ask HN: How to Learn Django in 2023?
Hey! I've been using Python on and off for years and would like to learn Django but I'm not sure what guides are up to date or useful. Any suggestions? Bonus points if it's directly related to using Django in a startup environments akin to https://alexkrupp.typepad.com/sensemaking/2021/06/django-for-startup-founders-a-better-software-architecture-for-saas-startups-and-consumer-apps.html :)
I don't think locking down the account will do anything. It sounds like secrets were already stolen. GitHub access tokens, etc. Locking the account won't unsteal that stuff.
Of course severance is not required to be paid.
The fire apparatus I’ve worked on have a 120V inlet called a shoreline to keep equipment (MDT, radios, cardiac monitor, portable suction, and Lucas battery chargers, interior lighting, etc) operational at station without draining the battery.

Let's stick with the second model. That's a perfectly good model. But tying sex to it that strongly seems pretty artificial to me. Sure, that's a way to make marriage stronger. But we could also require marriage for car ownership and it would have a similar effect. Marriage is about bonding together, not getting a reward.
:) I’m kinda both proud and ashamed. I’ve also hated the ergonomics of the formula bar for years, but never tried to do anything about it.

I’ll bet I find more weird corner cases with this hot key. My first attempt didn’t handle the autocomplete, and that was a big letdown until I found the workaround. I’m sure I’ll run into something else as well.

I disagree with you, and I think that if your daughter has found something she likes doing with the instrument, you should encourage that, even if it's not what you wanted or expected.

As a child who loved classical music, I hated getting comments from my relatives that I should play them some rock or jazz. I just wanted to do my own thing. Honestly, it's also a very different style of playing - I later learned some jazz piano (to appease them) and it's less demanding on your fine motor control ("tone color") and more about playing precisely on beat, which I found a lot less fun.
> And piano lessons were the only time we were ever exposed to classical music otherwise, so we had no opportunity to learn to like it; it was just a source of frustration and boredom.

To be fair, additional exposure may not have helped! I played several instruments as a kid / young adult, almost all of it classical or adjacent (old European music). My parents took us to the symphony. It just isn't what I like to listen to and wasn't motivating enough to keep my interested as a teen.

After fifteen years without making music at all, I've started picking up instruments again in the last two years. I've been playing (some) classical music, not because I like it, but because there's a lot of it for the instruments I've chosen and it's fun to play.
Wow, 13 days? Usually it’s 13 minutes.
Yeah but those returns are artificially subsidized by VC and retail speculators. They’re, by and large, not the result of non-crypto people or companies purchasing tokens in order to meet direct needs.

A conventional Ponzi scheme also offers very high returns, at a very high risk.
Does anyone know the legal category of promised severance pay?

I.e., is it treated like an owed wage, or something else?
Very nice. Tailwind’s flexibility is undeniable but I do miss the easy days of using Bootstrap’s built in components to whip up screens quickly.

A solid comprehensive library of readymade components like this could be very useful for less design-oriented developers like myself.
> To do that it would have to do something, anything, even one tiny little bit better than something in finance.

I’ve been assuming that one of the companies in that space will pivot to basically modern PKI infrastructure (signed transactions, etc. without 90s baggage like PGP, decentralized only in the sense of working offline on cheap hardware well enough to replace a paper check with a signature using their phone’s secure element) long enough to declare victory and get acquired, at which all of the cryptocurrency sales guys cosplaying as developers will start claiming that’s what they had in mind all along.
Working from home since the start of the pandemic I hear delivery trucks honking on reverse and backing into my driveway (granted I'm at the end of a cul-de-sac but I'm in a pretty remote area) 3-4 times a day. I also see trucks backing into empty driveways to stage unloading, as well as trucks convening in the cul-de-sac to do package transfers.

I don't mind these things, but they do utilize my property and impact my little neighborhood. I'm not convinced some buzzing above is worse. How much do we own the air above us? Is that somehow not public?
This only applies if the stolen credentials can’t create roles and can’t modify existing roles.
And you know what they feel inside their bodies?

Something can be true, satisfying, and incomplete. Why do they eat too much? Because of moral failing? Or because a system designed to maintain energy balance in only one direction is incomplete in our modern environment.

Hunger is not a moral failing, it is a physiological system.
