ChatGPT has more "memory" to it. If you tell it something, it "remembers" it across the chat session.

GPT3 is stateless. You give it the prompt and it responds back. Context doesn't carry between requests unless you (the user) pass it along. That can make "chat" sessions with GPT (not ChatGPT) expensive as passing along the past context of the chat session consumes a lot of tokens as it gets longer and longer.
Example 7 really got me, can anyone explain that? I’m not sure how “modulo” operation would be implemented in hardware, if it is a native instruction or not, but one would hope it would give a result consistent with the matching divide operation.

Edit: x87 has FPREM1 which can calculate a remainder (accurately one hopes), but I can’t find an equivalent in modern SSE or AVX. So I guess you are at the mercy of your language’s library and/or compiler? Is this a library/language bug rather than a Floating Point gotcha?
ChatGPT is trained on the internet corpus written by humans. Over time, more and more of this corpus will be written by ChatGPT.

Has anyone tested what happens when the output of a LLM is fed back as the training data?
If you don't need to have the halves be fully separated, you can have an easy time designing a custom PCB, assuming that you can get good/accurate footprints for the switches you want to use.

The below PCB is meant to be 'like a Preonic, but with 2x2u spaces, and full 5x12 grid'. Diode placement is aesthetic, but serves as a way to fill the 'dead space' between the main halves.

The subtitles I've seen come out of Whisper have been astounding. Dealing with heavy accents, and stammering without trouble. Current youtube auto CC is pretty bad, but the current gen AI is really impressive.
So wait... this means you can remotely steal energy from a black hole? Could this be exploited as a power source?

Obviously wouldn't be possible on human time scales any time soon but the fact that physics permits this is interesting.
On the subject of American Christians, I find ironic that one of the reasons of the splintering of western Christianity, namely the sales of indulgence, is one of the main driving forces of modern Christianity.

I also lament the poverty of philosophical debate when American refute preposterous positions held by these post modern Christians and think they have refuted the whole of human religion as bunk. All the while calling themselves Atheist with capital A. I mean, if you don't believe in something, why define your self as the opposite of that? Non existing things don't have opposites.
Honestly, I might recommend looking for an entry level job in an industry outside of software that has somewhat struggled to keep up with the changing times. Find a company where people are manually transferring data from one spreadsheet to another, or where there is a huge backlog of data in need of processing with some manual step that can be automated. Write one-off scripts that will seem like magic.
Why is it a problem if it’s a business or side gig? In the UK at least that just means that you need to report the income on your tax return if it’s above a certain amount. It’s not difficult. I’m not sure I’d describe countries that make you do more than this as ‘sane’.
That is fair. We are veering into metaphysics or religion if we talk about what exists there today, or even if there could be any relationship between our “today” and their “today”. By definition there is no causal connection. I’ll get back to you on that once I finish inventing my Time Machine.
There’s genuine loss of value going on if we fall into the trap of language-generated SEO - but it’s more subtle than just ‘the internet will be full of crap’

The thing is that webpages don’t ‘exist’ in the way most people mentally kind of think of them - as ‘documents on the file system of some computer’. And google is not an index over all those ‘documents’.

How search actually works is Google bots go out to a bunch of servers and ask them ‘hey, what kind of documents can you make?’, and the servers respond with dynamically generated lists of links to those ‘documents’, and google it requests them, and the server makes them and sends them to google, which indexes them so that later when someone searches the internet, google can send them to the same link, and the server can make the document again for them.

In an internet that works like this, using an LLM to generate documents that google indexes is a waste of everyone’s time.

This turns google into an index of the output of various LLM prompts that someone has run that they think someone might later search for.

This wastes everybody’s time.

An LLM outputted summary of every earnings report of every company doesn’t need to be pregenerated - we can make that later, at the time the customer asks the query ‘what was in the earnings report of Foocorp in Q4 2013?’

This breaks the ‘document-centric’ conceit of search; and that might not be a bad thing.
As a native English speaker, I'd be quite wary of doing that -- I thought your original message was perfectly clear (a few errors like "It's has been", but nothing that impeded my ability to understand -- in fact, I had to closely re-read your 1st message to see the difference, because my brain skipped over things like "it's has been").

The "ChatGPT improved" result is certainly a little more polished, but given ChatGPT's ability to confidently misinterpret / hallucinate, I would be worried that it could subtley change meanings, especially for more technical content.

Of course this problem isn't just limited to AIs, I've known (native speaker) Project Managers and client liaisons who have tweaked text I have written to ask technical questions and in doing, totally changed the meaning (and then done the same in the opposite direction, so the response was especially bewildering!)

I can understand that it's improving your confidence (and by the look of your 1st paragraph your English is good enough that you could easily identify if it changed the meaning in your message -- and that combined with a confidence boost is maybe worth the extra proof-reading you need to do) but that wariness of risk is just my $0.02.
You're confusing correlation with causation.

Control of government and the courts is way more powerful at imposing your moral compass on everyone else than control of the Internet and AI output. We have a very recent example of this happening in a way that was several orders magnitude more impactful than a chat bot censoring some of its output, and it didn't come from the woke mob.

My point is I agree that Americans love to impose their moral compass on each other any way they can, but I disagree that it comes in waves. It's a constant force coming from all sides.
all of the things you listed are included in the software. and they all serve the same thing. to maintain the software. you should focus on the purpose as much as you focus on the process.
Yeah I've had similar thoughts about this. The areas where AI can't really compete (probably ever) is in reporting / photo journalism.

We'll always need someone to be on the scene to capture the events / investigate the stories, and I don't think the world is dystopian enough to start manufacturing AI news drones.

Efforts will be put in place to filter out the garbage AI content with human made, real world reporting.

Trading quality for price has been happening everywhere for long enough that it is easy to see how unfortunately it will now play out in the arts as well. I mean, not that long ago all clothes you wore were custom made by a tailor, all the music you listened to was played live by musicians, all stories were brought to life in front of you by theatre actors: now all of those while still available are significantly more expensive and niche than the mechanized (production or reproduction) equivalents.

ChatGPT, stable diffusion and I am sure upcoming music models will enable this mechanization in the arts, where great artists will be unaffected but making it nearly impossible for “good enough” artists to compete while also pushing up the floor of what is an acceptable competency level that merits being paid for making it more difficult for people to support themselves while improving their skills.
This is why we have retakes. If your coursework results in lower grades than fellow students who cheated (with or without AI) there's no such recourse.

Even assuming all the students do it in good faith, there are factors other than knowing the material that can affect their performance on coursework. For example one person may have access to a well equipped, ergonomic, quiet space and plenty of undisturbed time in which to complete the assignment, while another may not.

The major benefit of exams is that everybody is taking them in, as far as possible, consistent and controlled conditions. It's not ideal, but I think it's better than the alternatives.

You are completely right, had a brain fart somewhere when I wrote this. Thanks, corrected it.
> is at once the home of the free

That's just marketing; no one in their right minds considers the US to be "the land of the free" that it pretends to be. And all objective measures of "freedom" give it an "above average" score - at best. Saying something very loud and very often does not make it true.
I wonder how much people who still write these languages are paid? I feel like it is one extreme or the other. You are rolling in it or you just don't know any better.

This is a cool idea, but the author stretches their conclusions too far when talking about grid impact, etc.

This becomes obvious when you ask "what if everyone did this"?

These tactics don't allow you to (as the author says) use a 95% reliable grid because if everyone in your building tries to go put solar panels on the roof it fails. If your neighbors aren't paying their heating bills so that you can leech heat through the walls, it fails.

If we're going to throw out the overly-literal interpretation of "equality under the law" that means "exact same rules regardless of socioeconomic status or other context", then why only do this for the very narrow case of API reimplementation? Why not just break up Google for the crime of being a threat to the sovereignty of its host government and people? If Google is powerful enough that we need to start "taking away rights" in order to create a level playing field, then we should start talking about killing Google, if only to minimize how many rights need to be taken away and for how long.

Furthermore, the underlying reason why we're making Google pay is still total bullshit. Remember: we're not arguing for "start-ups should get a pass on copyright infringement but Google should pay billions". We're arguing over 20 function signatures. Nobody should have to pay for that, and any copyright law that covers function signatures is unfit for purpose, even if it's a bill of attainder[0] that only applies to Google.

[0] A law that specifically prescribes a punishment to be applied to one person and one person alone. For example, if Congress were to pass a bill saying "Larry Page is guilty of copyright infringement for scraping the Internet and has no civil rights", that is a bill of attainder.

This is such an easily abusable process that the Constitution, unamended, forbids it.
One very clear thing the ASF could do would be to make clear how its own position on the topic has changed over time.

The 1997 FAQ at https://web.archive.org/web/19970106233141/http://www.apache... doesn't mention the people, and says the name comes from "a patchy server". It took years for this to be changed. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_HTTP_Server#Name tracks the "patchy server" back to the 1995 documentation. More discussion on HN at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5536134 .)

Yet the current ASF position is that name was rumor, that "rumor became lore, and lore became legend", without mentioning their own role in that propagating that legend for years.

While the evidence we have that the server and thence ASF was first named after the Apache peoples first is from oral statements made years later, with no paper trail. In "Trillions and Trillions Served" we see how the name comes from a romantic interpretation from watching a documentary.

You can see even then that Brian Behlendorf was having to make clear why he didn't consider this cultural appropriation. https://youtu.be/JUt2nb0mgwg?t=249 . As I recall, there was some controversy about the name at the time, with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5536134 quoting Fielding:

> Apache was named after the Apache tribes -- "a patchy" server was an afterthought. We've generally avoided any discussion of the topic because involvement of a native american "activist" will only result in trouble for us. Those people are not Apache -- they don't even have a clue. The various tribes that are called Apache (by their enemies) have more specific names for themselves. Thus, we don't have any complaints from the Apache people (only from white folks who think they know better).

By 2004, that connection no longer exists in the ASF FAQ: https://web.archive.org/web/20040202103926/http://apache.org... .

By 2008 the ASF FAQ says the name comes from the peoples, not "a patchy server", at https://web.archive.org/web/20080202033147/http://www.apache... , but you can see the author of that entry doesn't know much about the Apache peoples:

> The name 'Apache' was chosen from respect for the Native American Indian tribe of Apache, well-known for their superior skills in warfare strategy and their inexhaustible endurance.

There is no "the ... tribe of Apache." As this complaint letter points out, "There are currently 8 federally recognized tribes that carry on the Apache name", and the above quote shows Fielding knew that in 2003.

Further, the current FAQ says nothing about warfare strategy or inexhaustible endurance but now says:

> The name “Apache” was chosen out of reverence and appreciation for the people and tribes who refer to themselves as “Apache”.

The lack of details about the clear historical changes makes it easy for an outsider to claim the ASF is deliberately spinning things to make themselves look good.
> A naturopath? Yes they do it as a standard.

Best doc I ever had was a naturopath. Unfortunately, he tired of dealing with insurance companies and moved to a retainer model with a limited number of patients. Why was he so much better than any other doc I've had? 1) he listened. Appointments were at least 45 minutes. Sometimes over an hour. When I go to an MD I'm lucky to get 10 minutes. 2) He tested. Annual blood tests were extensive (and, yes, could be expensive because of those insurance companies not wanting to cover a lot of stuff) 3) As he listened he was on his laptop pulling up relevant papers ("I was just reading a paper on this topic that came out a couple weeks ago") He'd print out the paper for you and highlight the relevant passages 4) He was interested - by that I mean, I never got the idea he was just going through the motions. He loved this stuff and nerded out on it.
> Yes, ideally everyone should follow their passion and pursue the life of their dreams but some people don't think of work as the source of that.

Not only do some people not think of it that way, I doubt enough necessary jobs are the dream jobs of enough people for it to work out. I bet we need the vast majority of people to be working in jobs that aren't any part of any dream of theirs.

Besides, maybe their dream wouldn't pay, so they fund it with their bullshit day job. Then it are pursuing their dreams. Hell, maybe that dream's just "raise and provide for a family"!

> I know that UBI is all the rage in here and I think it's an interesting thought experiment but I just don't see a world where only the 1% of performers in any field are required and able to work is a promising thing.

I entirely do not follow how this would be the result of UBI.
> Can't we have the EU force them to provide an API and thus interoperability with competitors?

Maybe, but it took them over 4 years to rule that Facebook was breaching the GDPR even though a just a casual reading of the legislation would've given you this answer.

Maybe they'll "force" them... in so long that Twitter may not even exist anymore.
I don't even know how these sanctions supposed to work cause for example Valve for one didn't stop selling games on Steam for russians
Yes, because they the EU farmers are given ridiculous subsidies.

Build and dependency management is the worst part of the javascript ecosystem. Other languages do this much better. We're not against build tools for javascript. We're against bad ones.
I'm only against adding a build tool when it's a small project that shouldn't require that complexity. I've seen projects where maintaining the build setup was more work than maintaining the code.
I always imagined that the companies using the service at checkout would give the BNPL company a percentage of the sale if the customer used the service. Even if the price is the same for the consumer, BNPL companies could argue that they generated sales that might've backed out had they not been available.

Not us! Funny coincidence though. We chose "Magna" because it means great/big in latin, maybe they had a similar idea. Interesting service too, hadn't heard of it before. Was it discontinued? I saw the website didn't have an SSL certificate anymore.
If too many people do that they will turn it off, just a few representatives cannot handle such inflow of requests. The problem is skimping on customer service personnel.

I could see it saying "I understand you want to reach customer representative", "Please select from these options while I connect you to a representative" while circling you around a graph of options or just automatically hanging up after 45 minutes to an hour of being on the call.
> they can’t just regurgitate outdated information.

Based on my extensive experience with doctors and the extensive experience of many others that I know they sure can.
You could say 1 meter and 83 centimeters, or if you prefer, 1 meter, 8 decimeters and 3 centimeters.

If you really want to complain about metric, complain that it is base 10 instead of base 12. Twelve is evenly divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 making dividing into fifths, quarters, thirds or halves easier, while decimal is only divisible by 2 and 5, which base twelve already does and more and more difficult to divide into quarters and thirds. This is why clocks have 12 hours per half day instead of 10.
The sad thing is, AI could be used in a clever way - have AI do the large amount of leg work in transcription, and have a human refine that.

About two months of typing. If you are remotely ever interested print out a keymap of Dvorak and have it somewhere visible. Just seeing it over and over and over again will build that familiarity. Just do it today, even if you'll never end up trying it.

Without that it took me like two weeks of it actually being painful where I was closing my eyes and mentally moving each finger deliberately. After about 6 weeks I got to 30 WPM which I felt was sufficiently fast to work as a developer unimpeded. 2 years later I'm up to 60 WPM which is faster than I ever was with QWERTY. What I do is three 120 second long sessions of www.MonkeyType.com at lunch each work day.
While I agree that in person should definitely be a part of it, as a bit of anecdata I made a huge meetup push for two years (I went to meetups 2-3x a week, every week) in order to meet new people and date, and did get a few dates out of it, but mostly just new friends (that being said, I do know a few people in those same groups that ended up as long-term couples through it, and one of those couples got married eventually).

Meanwhile every relationship I had at that time came from OKCupid, including my wife.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the dating sites are now garbage thanks to them all being owned by Match Group, but at least back then they weren't terrible and I had good luck with it as an average-looking nerdy guy, much more than in-person.

I do credit going to meetups regularly with me becoming a bit more well-rounded and sociable of a person and more dateable as a result, though.

Good luck on your dating app personal project. I worked on one professionally for about six months a long time ago, and it was an interesting and fun project, for the most part (that never went anywhere, we treated it seriously but the client was a narcissist that got lucky in real estate that assumed he'd get 10 million users in a few weeks of release with no marketing, he eventually killed the project when he realized that wasn't going to be the case).

I've had ideas for different takes on dating/social apps since that time, and almost considered pursuing it, but it seemed to be too dominated by Match Group, especially post-Tinder, and I care more about games than apps anyway.

Crashing is termination; the reason it's tricky is that we often treat programs as having return type "Foo" when they actually have return type more like "Foo | Stacktrace".

(Sometimes it's easier to do theoretical work by replacing crashes with infinite loops; but that's only because it's impossible to do the converse ;) )
Looking further I'm not sure this is what's happening. Startup is http://floppy.museum/files/autoexec.bat, calling into http://floppy.museum/files/httpd.bat, which will try to start DESQview but alternately run HTTPD directly under DOS.

The HTTPD software is https://www.brutman.com/mTCP/mTCP_HTTPServ.html. "Up to 8 simultaneous requests can be serviced; an additional 8 requests can be queued."
The status page http://floppy.museum/status.htm is (under HN load :) consistently reporting 8 live connections.

I'd guess there's one HTTPD running and DESQview lets someone use/admin/etc the system without shutting the HTTPD down.
That's quite simplistic. There was a lot of persecution and bad blood behind the decision to migrate overseas because of religious beliefs in the 17th century. Saying it was just a bunch of frustrated control freaks doesn't even come close to capturing it.
