If we follow this incredible path over the coming century, all I can think of is the future doctor from "The Little Black Bag" [1]. Physician's tools become so advanced as to lower the bar for future doctors. Maybe future attorneys could rely more on AI to provide insight into relevant existing and potential novel case law.

If the management schools and managers they produced were that smart, you'd think they'd understand the cost of turnover.
certainly won't be the transformer models (alone)
From my experience everything you have mentioned is 100% true. However, I can understand why there'd be many skeptics here because it's a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of techies who've devoted their life and a huge part of their identity to 'tinkering'.

Politics is an inescapable aspect of success in 'meatspace'. Socializing and being able to build a network easily is absolutely valuable and it's not something that comes easily in this industry (surprisingly enough). Combining that with passable technical skills will carry his son much farther than if he was a shut-in who could spit out algos in Rust on command.
Surely Bing’s ChatGPT interface will have ads. There’s no money in giving it away for free. And Google can embed a clone of it in their search interface as well. So I don’t see this being a competitive advantage for anyone against Google. If anything, it’s one more moat for new search providers to cross.
That’s bay are drinking water reservoirs - which are not “most of CA reservoirs”.

Just look at the parent website, all of the largest reservoirs listed there, and most of the others, allow swimming and water recreation.
Going by the other projects on the author's site, it looks like their primary goal is working on stuff that interests them, not reinventing operating systems that are older than a lot of the folks on this site.

I realize this is HN, but not everything needs to be an industry disrupter. Honestly, I'm here more for the weird, impractical experiments than anything else.
Ready to play Quake 3 and then someone decided to bring a G4 Mac. Easy to communicate right "It just works!"... :D
The problem is looking at these technologies in absolutes and thinking "this is the end", "massive change", "game changer" etc.

If these AI technologies help to do even 50% of low skilled tasks, that's still huge.
Your steps 1-8 are a great example of prompt craft.

ChatGPT is like power-assisting prompt-craft. Special case tricks and tunings make casuals rate ChatGPT assisted prompt results higher than GPT-3 alone. Some of this is discussed here:

ChatGPT -- ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.

See: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/

InstructGPT -- We’ve trained language models that are much better at following user intentions than GPT-3 while also making them more truthful and less toxic, using techniques developed through our alignment research. These InstructGPT models, which are trained with humans in the loop, are now deployed as the default language models on our API.

See: https://openai.com/blog/instruction-following/

But, if you carefully craft prompts and prime continuations, it seems GPT-3.5 (the same new davinci models) lets you color outside ChatGPT's lines to achieve arguably even better results once you have your own crafted prompt.
This does not really read like Bukowski at all..
> My other near miss experience was staying at a bread-and-breakfast farmhouse in Portugal. I had taken a shower, and was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, when I noticed the light above the mirror was crooked. It was one of those swiveling can fixtures, so I reached up to adjust it. I knew it wouldn't be hot since I'd just turned it on, so I grabbed it firmly and then asked myself why it was vibrating. And for that matter why was my whole arm vibrating? When I realized I was being shocked I was able to let go and spent 20 minutes pacing around my room making sure I wasn't dead. You really can't do worse than standing barefoot, soaking wet, on a stone floor, and grabbing a live fixture, can you?

> If anyone would like to explain why that didn't kill me I'm all ears.

I once got jolted while grabbing an electric transformer. I've researched this a bit, but I'm not a doctor so take my hypothesizing here with a grain of salt:

From what I've read, it seems like most deaths are caused by 1) disruption of the human body's electrical systems or 2) severe burns where electricity enters/exits the body.

It's a bit unclear to me what exactly causes burns--it seems that arcs, especially longer, sustained arcs, are related, but not necessarily. This seems to happen more with high-current situations. If you didn't experience burns, it's probably because the current wasn't high enough to cause that.

The more common thing seems to be disruption of the body's electrical systems, which can occur with much weaker currents than cause burns. The most common thing seems to be that electricity across the heart can disrupt the nerves that regulate heartbeat, but electricity across blood vessels can also cause constriction that causes stroke, and electricity across the brain can cause seizures, disruption of breathing/pulse, etc. It really does seem like the vast majority of deaths are caused by electricity across the heart though. If you don't see cardiac symptoms shortly after a shock, you're unlikely to see them, which is probably because the electricity didn't primarily go across your heart.

I'm not sure what the configuration of your grabbing this light fixture was, but a right-handed person grabbing a light fixture with their right hand, would likely see a current traveling through their right arm and then down through their right leg and, to a lesser extent, through their left leg, to the floor (once the current hits your torso there's more "bandwidth" on the way to the floor and the current spreads out more which is why you experienced "vibrating" in your hand and arm, but not your torso). This path doesn't take the current over your heart or any of the parts of the brain that regulate heartbeat or breathing, so that's my best guess as to why you didn't die.
> And I support a model where I pay the true cost of delivering stuff, meaning appropriate pay for delivery workers.

So do I. Unfortunately, this is a cost not everyone can shoulder, so we won’t see anything like this happen.

I heard a good quote about capitalism adjusting for endless efficiency, recently. Maybe someone knows the saying. It essentially means we’ll never go backward on cost.
> previews of non-public websites

It would be interesting if browsers / OSes / apps offered a way to use the browser's cookie jar / basic auth headers / whatever sessioning scheme in whatever apps the user decides should display authenticated previews. Ask the user to allow the release of browser data scoped to the domains that the app suggests. Similar to how some Android apps can put up a prompt to release a Chrome-saved password to an app (which I really wish more apps would include).
It's also fallacious to look at numbers like "1000 / 30000 = 3%" and say that you shouldn't have to worry about getting electrocuted when handling electricity because it's only a 3% chance of dying if you get electrocuted.

That 3% number is causally intertwined with the fact that professionals take safety very seriously, and most non-professionals are afraid of electrical stuff and generally do try to take precautions around it, within the limits of their own knowledge.
At this point, I think the problem is the validity of the response from GPT though. I’ve seen some terribly unpredictable and incorrect results. At least with Google I have options to pick through.

Once that is solved, it’s gonna be hard to go back to picking through the increasingly ad and spam ridden always changing UI that is Google.
Your comment triggered a question in my mind and searching isn't helping find a convincing answer. Does anyone know the size of the largest privately-owned retail bank operating in the world? I believe CTBC Bank (Taiwan) is privately-held, but I don't know of any others.

Having worked for a few banks in Australia, I took it as axiomatic that banks were publicly listed companies. But who knows? Maybe not.
They are slick
From the atmosphere, sure. But, if they can succeed in building a viable conversion system, then hot exhaust from factories or other sources can be used instead of air.

It could be a closed source system too, for example, in industrial applications that need a lot of heat. An almost closed cycle system may be viable. I have no information about the speed of the reaction, but I guess systems can be scaled.

Also, a good amount of heat is produced in the sabatier reaction process itself, which can be used for other systems.

Conversion of atmospheric CO2 to usable fuel can become a cheap battery for solar plants.

Edit: Such a system already exists, even if as an idea.

<INSERT DUMB THING> can potentially kill you so always take precautions is about the size of the message that fits in people's brains and everyday decision making process thus it is the reasonably actionable thing to communicate.

If you through further education come to possess a more nuanced view of risk analysis this doesn't invalidate the simpler process it just adds value to your understanding. For instance YOU don't seem to have concluded that there is zero risk through your more nuanced understanding. Why are you assuming everyone is is dumber?
Tough call, I think. All you need is some greed and people who don't care about what happens to the future. You ambulance chasing lawyers (aka personal injury lawyers) are not the same as your big lawfirm partner.

I tried this question, but I added "MEE Question 6" at the top so it has a better context and the answer seems somewhat better? No idea if it would get any credit though, maybe the author of this blog post can chime in.

> It is likely that Abe is entitled to possession of Whiteacre. The deed that Owen delivered to Abe twenty years ago constituted a valid conveyance of the property to Abe, even though it was never recorded. Abe subsequently took possession of the land and made use of it for the next eleven years, paying the property taxes and allowing others to use the land. This constitutes "adverse possession," which is a legal principle that allows someone to gain ownership of a piece of property through continuous, open, and notorious possession of the property for a certain period of time.

> In this case, Abe has satisfied the requirements for adverse possession under the laws of State B, as he has been in possession of the property openly, continuously, and notoriously for more than the statutory period of time required by State B. Doris and Buyer are considered "subsequent purchasers," as they acquired the property after Abe's conveyance to them, and they do not have a valid claim to the property because they did not have notice of Abe's conveyance. Therefore, it is likely that Abe would be entitled to possession of Whiteacre in this case.
That was true of Threema, too!
> A fight in movies doesn't happen like that, the flow and thrill is entirely different.

If we look at real life games, such as Fencing... and less "combat" like games, like Football or Baseball, we end up with huge rule systems to fairly resolve conflicts.

One can say "I just want to throw a ball and have fun". But there is no _GAME_ here. If you want to play "Basketball", and get good at "Basketball", it becomes very important to define a foul.

Same thing in the D&D world. You may not necessarily have to define what is or isn't a foul in your games, but should combat grow intense and adversarial, then it becomes a necessity.

--------

But as I said before: if you want to just roleplay, Dread is there for that. There's a reason why other games systems exist.

But I bust out D&D when I want to (and when my players want to) have a complex system of magical spells interact with each other, in a well defined manner. That's still flexible enough for story to be pulled out of it.
OS Dev is a huge undertaking and not for the lighthearted, especially if you intend on having a real project as opposed to a toy.

> Where's the "open" part?

HuggingFace
I can't imagine using ChatGPT for anything, personally. As a society we have grown physically obese on high calorie, sugar-packed foods combined with a sedentary lifestyle. Seems like we're about to become mentally obese when we no longer have to use our minds read or write and can just be spoon-fed AI generated words, music, and video. We will become a society of fat, drooling simpletons sitting in recliners consuming endless entertainment plugged directly into our senses while an IV drips glucose into the nearest vein.
"The guidelines come as new drug treatments for obesity in kids have emerged, including approval late last month of Wegovy, a weekly injection, for use in children ages 12 and older"
So as soon as we have matter replicators or something similar (3D printers are the start of this I guess), then hardware professions will pay more?
> like the peasant railgun

Which doesn't exist in the game. When the last peasant lets go of the object, it falls to the grown on the same square as the peasant.

It only becomes "bullshit", when the improv player comes in and argues that because the object traveled 500-squares in less than 5-seconds, it must be going at X speed or Y momentum and carries forward.

But that's just bullshit. There's nothing in 3.5 that discusses "momentum", or "acceleration". It is "It is a move action to hand an object to another player". That's the rule.

People who mess with shenanigans are the problem, including peasant railgunners.
I disagree with you on the general but agree on the specific here. I think parents need to be reasonably involved with their children even when they are students, but here the child seems to do well so there is no reason to worry
I think this is called survivor bias?
“Google minus ads” is not a strategy with a great record of success.
> Prop 13 in CA is a law that freezes property tax assessments at sale, so you have people who are paying taxes on a home currently worth $2 million as if it were only worth the $150k they bought it for in 1980.

This is absolutely not true. What prop 13 does is that it limits the yearly base property tax increase to 2%. It's not frozen, it still goes up every year, but only 2%. Note that this means it still goes up 2% even in years when the market is down. It's basically a damping fuction to absorb the wild fluctuations in market value.
How universal is this fine control? I was under the impression that lower cost induction cycles on/off at a noticeable duration.

What makes you think the 9th amendment is binding on the states?
This is what I have been saying.

If these tools can do even 50% of mundane, rudimentary tasks, that's still huge in of itself and allows people to do more important work.

Think of moving from manual book research, to Google. Rather than having to go to the library and find a particular book regarding something I want to find, I can just search Google and trawl through websites. Now with GPT I potentially don't need to trawl through websites, I can ask the AI and use my judgement as to the validity of the output, I could then use that answer to inform when I fact check etc.

It's not terrible, but it's also not the best thing since sliced bread.
Google and Microsoft want their web properties to be your final destination, not your gateway to everything else. To achieve this they’ll use tools that completely rely on user-generated content to give you exactly what you need so you don’t need to go anywhere else.

Except now where’s the incentive to generate new content nobody will ever see. For all intents and purposes they’re orchestrating the end of the web.
It's ok they'll just issue 12B more BNB tokens to themselves to make up for the difference. /s

If tether de-peggs, which is not unlikely, then this is just the tip of the outflows , margin calls, and bankruptcy we'll see in the crypto space.
Do you need portable shell scripts though? IMHO, it really depends on the context.

If I was about to ship an open source application that came bundled with some shell scripts, then I agree portability is good, so that I know the script would run for people who might not have Bash installed.

But at ${DAYJOB} I much prefer to let Bash run all my scripts, and I make that explicit via ‘#!/usr/bin/env bash’.

Bash is still evolving and the Bash devs are adding new features that I would miss in pure sh. Case in point: A (somewhat) reasonable way of working with arrays.
Again:

> There will be pain because there's always pain to come with the mind bogglingly good times?

There was never anything interesting about being able to call out a 2008 or a 2000 because every single year in between them someone was always saying this was going to be the year of "tulip mania come roost".

People would see dips in 2010 and point to them as obvious proof that 2008 was just the tip of the iceberg, and they had about as much to go on as you would if you weren't able to pull up a graph of the years that follow today.

-

What makes it interesting (read: worth saying out loud) is if you can put your money where your mouth was and actually bet something, then win on that bet.

But saying stuff like "Pain inflicted during that time will not be fun"... well duh? You're telling me that a correction after the market rallies 400% in a decade that included a world-shifting global pandemic is going to be painful?

I don't know, I guess I just get rubbed the wrong way by broad gesturing with nothing being put down on it when it comes after a period that has literally been defined by the same.

The last decade has been so much of it in fact, that at this point even another "1970s or slightly worse" wouldn't cover the losses we've been promised.
It will be interesting if vall-e could express emotions like fear or love by the the tone or speed of the voice. This will be even more scary
Just getting everyone on the same patch version to play a game was a pain. We ended up just copy pasting around Half-Life folders, and you'd have to change your player name when you first started or your have the same as the source copy.
I think the problem is time. To replicate the OpenAI RLHF architecture, they need their own high-quality dataset, which takes time to create. Without details about the hyperparameters, RL architecture, and omitted steps, they need to test a lot of things, which takes time and money. It requires more resources than it took SD to replicate DALL-E 2, which took months and was an easier task.
Open to receiving a lot of money.

What, really? I had a ton of them growing up.

I've got an amber VT220 dumb terminal within arms reach and I have at least one amber CGA display in storage - the Packard Bell monitor I used with my Epson 286 as a kid.
My biggest take away from this is that people put lots of faith in their cars to bring them safety etc.

You can’t verify the binaries it’s actually running and the protocol shouldn’t rely on a trustworthy server anyway.

IMO the biggest problem with any of these E2EE apps is using them with iOS users. Apple makes it impossible to extract and inspect the packages without jailbreaking, so most projects don’t bother with reproducible iOS builds.
Working at Facebook or Google, you might (somewhat indirectly) improve people's lives or even save them sometimes, but many physicians do so frequently in a very obvious, direct, and personal way. This seems very different from trying to increase the time that users spend on a web site, or trying to sell more advertisements, or writing code that displays a box on a screen and fills it with some sort of information.

In the US at least, many physicians enjoy a high degree of autonomy as well as high social status and high income. (The latter two can also be something of a down side since some mechanisms for maintaining high social status and high income can be detrimental to patients and to other health professionals.)
