Firstly, if you stop all human input into AI and have AI only output based on other AI output you will never generate anything new in a trillion years, it just regresses into variations of the original human input before it was stopped. It will never evolve as humans do as it is just a statistical trick at the end of the day.

Secodly, humans take only a few examples while AI needs trillions. AI built on a few examples would not have enough data.
Are there any good alternatives to Kibana?

The last time I was looking into ELK stack for centralised logs, I was trying to see if there was a better way to do it, but though many alternatives existed for ElasticSearch and Logstash parts of it, the UI - Kibana stood out as a blocker with no alternatives. Does anyone know of one?
My local NHS dentist told me four of my bottom front row teeth were "dead" and needed lots of treatment involving needles and drills and such, otherwise they'd start rotting away and get painful and so on... Oh and that I need a root canal in one molar...

Which I thought was strange at the time because I could still feel sensation in them, feel blood supply pumping into them, felt no pain. At the time though I had great trust in dentists so I agreed to the treatment, and an appointment was set for the procedure.

On the day I was sat in the dentist chair and whilst they were setting up, I had this instinctual feeling that this whole thing was "wrong!" and before they could even administer the first numbing jab I called the whole thing off.

A few years later and I've had no problems with those teeth, or any others for that matter.
Dishwashers make sense if you have a lot of dishes, and make a practice of filling the dishwasher before washing. For a single person, this can take many days. The total amount of water and time ends up being less by using the dishwasher.

However, if you have a small number of dishes so that you can't afford to wait 3-7 days between washings, and need to clean them daily, the dishwasher makes no sense.
> I've had a dentist insist I must get my wisdom teeth out and fillings about 5 years ago. Never had the procedures done, never had so much as a toothache.

Who says that you do fillings when you have a toothache? Having fillings in a timely manner is important for the long-term health of the tooth. A small filling now will prevent further decay, and a series of more serious (and expensive) dental work in the future.

And wisdom teeth have a whole class of issues of their own. "I didn't remove them and 5 years later, I'm fine" says practically nothing.
.NET CLR compiles to native code via JIT, and PowerShell also has support for calling into COM and DLL libraries.

Additionally the way Xerox and ETHZ workstations did their REPLs was native code all the way, as Interlisp, Smalltalk, Mesa XDE, Mesa/Cedar, Oberon, Oberon-2, AOS all had AOT/JIT workflows.
Ask HN: What if ChatGPT is lying, purposely?
Not in a sense, like humans do, like lying to hurt someone, or lying not to hurt someone (White lies), but lying because it was trained on data humans produced, who sometimes, lie for whatever reasons.

Imagine the trained is like: A->B-C->D (humans typically lie on answer B) the NN picks it up, and lies too.

Just a thought I just had :)

Maybe not this generation, but in two?

There’s an ocean of difference to me between ChatGPT and stable diffusion/DallE. Text is fundamentally different from art.

For art, I see these not as major disruptions but as new tools. There’s no right or wrong answer in art. If anything, abstract expressionism solidified that point. A drunk with a paintbrush can mint a small fortune if people decide it’s capital A Art.

More broadly, ML art models will allow more people to express themselves and more perfectly represent that weird dream they had or that place that doesn’t quite exist. We will all be richer for it.

I have less rosy things to say about ChatGPT. I feel like a broken record here but while statistical language models can be amusing (and that’s what I’d classify most of these posts as: amusing, low-impact text where precision and internal consistency isn’t paramount) but they’re not much more than that. They’re not reliable, they’re not oracles, but yeah if you need a poem about SpongeBob in the style of a 1920s mobster they can do that.

Maybe I’m a little too harsh on ChatGPT. Maybe I expect too much out of it. It can create mental eye candy and that’s awesome. I don’t know.

NHS Dentistry is a joke, its been neglected and underfunded for years. No wonder dentists dump all NHS patients or don't accept them, majority of them have ethics and want to give the best and ideal treatment, not the cheapest minimum. I believe they are given a single flat fee for all treatment in a session. Private dentist is the only way to go now.

My mum was having tooth pain, so she was back and forth, the NHS dentist said everything was fine. Then soon afterwards her filling fell out and tooth starting to split. The NHS dentist said it needed to be removed fully. She went to a private dentist who pretty much said no it doesn't, she had a root canal and pins. Since then we've had private dental insurance. My brother dental practice went to remove a tooth but ended up damaging another tooth and didn't even get one out. Now he's on the family dental insurance. Again the private dentist said his treatment was shocking.

It is presomptuous to think the brain is anything more than a computer.

The algorithm is doing pretty much the same thing that a brain is doing, except it's a smaller and slower brain, so it's not that smart, and we hardwired some parts to fill the gaps.
This is the core issue I have with comments like this: they refuse to try solving social issues with technology.

Ok, you don't want to solve it with tech, how then?

AI startup Scale lays off 20% of its staff
Yep, it is! You can find the sources on GitLab[0]. The compression is done using brotli-wasm[1].

The entry point to the compression is the syncCompress[2] function, which converts the data to UTF-8, adds the needed header bytes, and then compresses using brotli-wasm. Decompression is done in a streaming way in streamDecompress[3]. This is to avoid zip bomb attacks, where even a short URL could decompress to gigabytes of data, locking the browser. Thankfully brotli-wasm had streaming decompression builtin, I just had to write the wrapper code to update the text content and the status bar in the UI.

You can find the brotli-wasm code I'm using in the vendor folder[4], there is a JS wrapper and then the WASM code (both are straight from brotli-wasm).

> Neither can create something that isn't in some way part of their data set.

Thank you for providing a clear example of what I term "selling humanity short"

None of human art exists outside the extremely complex cultural evolution history where bits and pieces of perceived reality are internalized by individuals (using entirely novel and evolving mental models and representations that we hardly understand) and is then communicated, gets transplanted and recognized as similar experiences in the brains of other humans, in an ever evolving chain of brain to brain interactions via (much more mundane) physical channels.

To make all this extraordinary stuff fit the current AI narrative people opt to wield a dehumanizing sledgehammer to eliminate anything but the in / out information processing concept (ignoring the garbage-in / garbage-out problem).

But just to play along for the sake of the argument, for AI to create "art", it would have to ingest a body of boring mystery whodunit prose and decide to write a poem about it.

Ask HN: What decisions have you made out of bitterness?
I'm a really bitter and jaded engineer, but I've always made the ethical and moral choice, which cost me many millions of dollars when I got fired for protecting a female employee from a predator at a conference after the CEO refused to do his job.

As I near the end of my career, the cumulative effect of the shit I've seen in this industry, and my disappointment in humanity since 2016, I'm about to break my own moral code, and take an incredibly lucrative gig at a defense contractor building a platform of multi-purpose, highly reconfigurable drones.

2010's me would have starved before even returning the recruiter's e-mail, now I'm strangely OK with it. Knowing that my work will help kill russian soldiers and defend Ukraine even makes me kind of proud.

Bitterness really changed me. I'm curious, how has it changed you?

That sealings break or stop working is normal. The question of how long, I have sealing which are like 20 years old, no issues, then I had one bad dentist who was close to pension, and did a TERRIBLE job on all my teeth. Basically, all the teeth she did got root canal issues... a year or so ago, one of m fillings needed to be redone, it was like 5 years or so old...
Talking about dental care:

Almost a year ago, I had a wisdom tooth removed. I still feel some pain. So I went back to my oral surgeon. He did a 3D-Scan and said the bone has not regenerated. So there is a hole, where the tooth was. His suggestion is to:

A) Do the operation again. And remove all the tissue that is where the tooth was.

B) Fill the hole with a blood clot generated from some of my own blood, taken from my arm.

C) Hope the bone will then regenerate.

I have put a lot of time trying to find something about the situation on the web. But to no avail.

Any ideas how to find something about the situation that a bone does not regenerate after a wisdom tooth removal?

The surgeon said it happens to one or two of his patients per year. So worldwide, there should be tens of thousands of people having this issue every year. Yet I cannot find anything. Is my Google-Fu lacking?
Thank you for those comics. I didn’t know how much I needed them. And now I do.

The thing to remember is that these large language models are not telling the "truth". They are generating the most plausible set of text that would follow a prompt.

I don't know, certainly not me. Maybe some dentists?

> Having fillings in a timely manner is important for the long-term health of the tooth. A small filling now will prevent further decay, and a series of more serious (and expensive) dental work in the future.

I don't have decay, some "fissure" which as far as I can tell is either from the shape of the tooth or wear.

> And wisdom teeth have a whole class of issues of their own. "I didn't remove them and 5 years later, I'm fine" says practically nothing.

It says that I didn't need to remove them 5 years ago when I was told I should get them out right away.

I love this webpage
I’ve found rating systems a big help. What I usually do for any doctor is visit a famous online forum in bulgaria that’s filled with people’s opinions regarding doctors.

Started as just a place where young mothers hang out and talk about various topics, and is practically an institution here already.

Since it’s not affiliated with any business / media it has remained surprisingly honest place and most opinions I’ve read ended up being spot on - both positive and negative.

Its pretty great for finding out doctor specialists.
You need to fully trust your target server, so you need to manage your known_hosts diligently and make sure you trust the host you connect to. If you just accept the host key without checking, you allow any host to use your SSH key for authentication. Any SSH server can accept your private key as authentication. Also, if the target host is infiltrated, it can use your private SSH key for authentication elsewhere without your knowledge.

In my current job they asked me to update my linkedin. I said "haha nope". Latest entry is from 2017. Never heard from it again in the past 5y.

In a previous job, they asked me to post a review on glassdoor. I said "haha nope". They came back after 6 months insisting I do so, I told them "no.". They came back at it after another 6 months, I asked what was their budget for bribing glassdoor into removing a bad review. They finally go it.

I've never had issues with not having "social" accounts. Every time it was mentioned during an interview I just jokingly said it is time that I reinvest in my own projects then usually they were (rightfully) more interested to see what I did which I would show from my laptop or my personal website (that would be up during my job search and put to rest right after). So in other terms, I'm playing the game when I want to and/or when there's something in it for me.

That said my profile is a bit of a niche one and I'm not really making public talks etc so ymmv.
