Well yes, RPC systems are nothing but tooling and protocols so if those are the things that are different then everything changed ;)

REST works because it's stateless message passing (no object state), supports one-way connectivity (no dialback), the tooling was much better (no equivalent in RMI/CORBA/DCOM to a transparent cache or a load balancer), HTTP/1.1 is easy to understand and implement (or looks easy at least) so every language can have get on the stack very fast, it has auth systems that work, it's more layered/incremental because it leaves language and type system mappings to higher layers, and so on. Lots of valid reasons.

I’m with you. But is it reasonable to assume that we can understand each other and share knowledge between the stars? From what I understand, it’s extremely unlikely. After all, we can barely communicate with species other than our own.
> Try and read GPS data without asking the operating system for that capability.

That's not capability-based security: you have to do that whichever model is in use. The ocaps come in when you use dependency injection (aka "function call") everywhere to pass in rights to make use of resources. Neither Android nor iOS are meaningfully object-capability based.
My gut still tells me you might be too optimistic about it. Sometimes it's just like a function f(x)=1/x. f(x) gets closer and closer to 0 when x grows, but it can never reach it in a finite scope.
I think OpenAI made two strategic blunders:

1. Publishing the Dall-E papers and pre-trained CLIP weights. This inspired Stable Diffusion/MidJourney, reducing the amount of time OpenAI had for their Dall-E service to get established by maybe a year. During that time, they could've gained long-term customers, generated some revenue, and established partnerships with Adobe and other graphics software makers. Now they're second string.

2. Publishing the GPT-3 paper and releasing ChatGPT for free online. Instead, they should've improved it by adding things like references and released it already integrated in Bing/Word/Cortana. This would've been more valuable to Microsoft. Now, Google has time to catch up and have their own model in their search engine not long after Bing if they do it right. And Anthropic is working on a chat model and will have a good one as well soon.

One possible counterargument could be that these haphazard releases allowed OpenAI to gain mindshare among researchers. But this is much more vague and speculative.
Another consideration here is whether or not OpenAI specifically is inherently special relative to other systems.

ChatGPT is popular, because most of the world has looked at it (myself included) and thought “wow”, but I don’t know what Google, Microsoft or anyone else has running in their labs.

Google’s LAMDA demo some time back was incredibly impressive, but it’s not led to anything publicly released yet, so comparisons can’t be made.

Microsoft may not be interested in OpenAI because they’ve looked at it and thought they’re further ahead with some new Cortana buried in a basement in Redmond.

Generally speaking, capabilities are not asked for; that would be a permission.

Capabilities can be used to implement permissions, but that's not what is usually meant by 'capability-based security'. Capabilities are essentially just inputs; a GPS-reading capability would be anything we can read GPS data from (e.g. a callback; or a pseudo-file handle; etc.).

A texas roll would incorporate smoked beef in some way
As a portuguese it blows my mind that "digital nomads" are choosing the country to live in. Surely the country has great weather, food and you get an hefty tax discount that the natives can only dream about (20% of income tax is wayyy lower than a living wage in this country pays). But if you investigated a bit more you would see that the emigration rates of the country are going through the roof.

It should be a huge red flag that one "nice" country has more than 20% of it's population living abroad: https://poligrafo.sapo.pt/fact-check/cotrim-de-figueiredo-po... (you might want to use Google Translate on this one).

I noticed a Reddit thread talking about how our smartphones became the ultimate dopamine delivery system with making sure that you would look every X time at your phone and creating an addiction by making sure the phone would become your primary dopamine source and while they gave zero scientific research about this I must say... in my particular situation it felt very real and could attribute to my lack of focus.

So I now started to put the phone away at an inconvenient location at 21:00 and start to read, make a puzzle,... again.

I actually find the arguments to be stronger for the opposite lesson. Some examples of successful designs from the physical world that are also successful in purely digital interfaces:

How smart watches display the time, VST instruments (e.g, https://mixedinkey.com/captain-plugins/wiki/best-vst-instrum...), ebook "pages", on-screen keyboards, visual-coding environments that use a "cables" metaphor (e.g., https://twitter.com/robenkleene/status/1280182525013475330).

I actually think the lesson here is that if you can take a metaphor from the physical world, and can incorporate it's essence into your digital design, it'll probably improve your design. And I don't think the reason is because we're leaning on our familiarity with the physical world (too many purely digital designs have proved successful for that to be the case). I think the reason is simple: Our brains are evolved for the physical world, and we've had thousands of years to master building things with physical materials, so the human race has created truly fantastic interfaces in the physical world. If we can bring the essence of those designs into the digital world, we should.

So, we start by using AI to help decide immigration claims or parole reviews, which frees up real lawyers to deal with the terrible backlog of more important cases. And once it's in place there, and the results have stood long enough without complaints (from anyone who matters) that society has effectively legitimised them, we can start using the AIs to start "helping" more with other cases.

Yes and thanks for sharing your perspective as a (former) manager.

I start thinking that many misbehaving managers, would stop over hiring and such bad things, if the organization was able to give them the right incentives. (But how? Hmm, there were some books mentioned in a comment elsewhere, by the author of the article.)

I mean that many managers want to do what's good for the organization, but because of they way things are, they cannot. (Because then some other manager, who prioritizes his/her own career and influence, "takes over everything".)

I wonder what would happen if a company added a rule: Max team size is 10. End of over hiring (well, up to 10)? But would have other odd consequences.
It was but isn't anymore. It's just a commercial company now as far as it appears from the outside. I too had the same hope, but it seems that it went out the window a while ago.

The very rare times I've had to watch a video on there, I didn't even need to run their JS. The URL was just in the source of the page. I don't think they were trying to stop that, given that they clearly could've tried to.

I have a very short JS whitelist, and it's not getting lengthened just to watch a video. I'd sooner extract the URL and stick that in my own media player.

> Surely the country has great weather, food and you get an hefty tax discount

Sounds like you have it figured out why people are moving there :)

I think it's always hard for natives to figure out why people want to move to their country, where they see mostly problems and not how much better it is than where the people come from.

I'm an immigrant as well, and wouldn't understand why people would move to the country I was born in, but people who are from the place I currently live in feels the same way but vice-versa.

Good weather and good food is surprisingly convincing, at least for me, in deciding where to live.
The goal of this is to understand how OOP works under the hood, so you can adapt it to your own use case. You can do more strict OOP than C++ if you wanted to. However in most cases, all you need is basic OOP, namely writing your code with clean separation of functionality in different files with `static` keyword being similar to what `private` means in C++, and then using structs with typedef to define data. Function pointers and additional macros just add syntactic sugar, and are not necessary.

The main advantage of C++ isn't really OOP, its all the standard library features and smart pointers, but those are not always applicable (like when you want to manage memory as efficient as possible). So using C is often preferred.
We can feel developer's bitterness from that sentence alone.
I'm not actually arguing the IRS is 10x more efficient at all (the Faroes' costs are in krone), I'm arguing that its per head spend isn't that much larger considering it handles a lot more complexity and it's seldom regarded as an efficient organization. It's also fairly uncontroversial that labour intensive stuff like auditing businesses and running helpdesks doesn't benefit from particularly significant economies of scale (you spread some software maintenance costs but as you necessarily massively scale up your workforce you acquire inefficiencies from diffusion of knowledge and accountability across a larger, more unwieldy organization and increased management overhead).
No, before they actually owned the money, and could do anything they wanted with it. Once it's given in this format, even if they're on the board, the money is now legally owned by the charity and must be used for that purpose. They cannot claw it back, they cannot buy Ferraris with it, it's gone.

Your comment is exactly an example of beliefs articles like this foster, despite being wrong.

Learn how laws work before making unfounded assumptions.
One of the few things I can currently see GPT do well is helping find legal precedence. Rather than having five law students roam through old cases, it would make sense to feed 100+ years of legal rulings into the model and then query the AI for any previous rulings similar to your own, with the desired outcome. That would allow lawyers to state question like: In cases like this, which evidence or arguments caused the ruling to favor the accused.

You still need a human to make the case, present the arguments and adapt every to the current situation, but there's no reason to have human search through thousands of cases and write summaries, not when an AI can do it in an instance.

Ask HN: How do you manage your private tech inventory?
Many of us have plenty of tech inventory:

All kinds of devices, computers, network devices, cables, adapters, gaming consoles, plugs, tools, hardware components, accessories that belong to another device, USB thumb drives, laser pointers, external HDDs, cases, manuals etc..

Such a collection can easily end in chaos:
- Things do not have a place where they belong and lie around at random places.
- It gets difficult to find things when needed.
- Things can't be identified or distinguished: Was this the unique special Adapter from connector A to connector B? Was this the graphics card with the defect which looks the same as the replacement exemplar of the same type.

It needs a systematic approach to restore order. It is easy to group some things of a kind and put them in a box.

But what do you do with all the unique things where you own only a single of it's kind? And how do you recognize a special adapter after years, when it isn't special from the outside? And how do you know after years which accessory belongs to which device?

I thought of using an inventory management system in software. Every box and every device gets labeled with a unique number. The software stores which devices is in which box. Also it could store extra information like specifications, digital manuals, drivers and it could manage a log history of a device. There you could keep information like: "CPU upgraded on server.".

I never used an such a software but I am sure there are some commercial ones on the market for professional use in organizations. I would prefer a simple FLOSS solution for a desktop computer without the need to run a server. Also the data must be accessible for backing up.

How do you manage your inventory?

No, it's a "you're hiring at contractor rates" problem.

Just as Stable Diffusion is giving a hard time to professional artists who earn at contractor rates by producing "it might not be amazing but it's certainly not bad" art for a dozen images per cent of electricity, ChatGPT is giving "it might BS me 5-20% of the time depending on the subject, but it's still better than I know" responses on basically everything.

It can't do every job at an expert level yet, but it's better than almost everyone's baseline for the skills they are non-expert at. (No idea how long it will take to get to superhuman even just for law, and I was over-optimistic about self-driving car AI, but we shall see).
