I hadn't even thought I would be "hosting my images" on something like Azure, aWS, or GCP to deploy to fly.io. Their examples don't mention that. You just have a Dockerfile in your repo, you deploy to fly.io.

But it sounds like for patch/update management purposes, now I need to add something like that in? Another platform/host to maintain/manage, at possibly additional price, and then we add dealing with the specific mechanisms for scanning/updating too...

Bah. It remains mystifying to me that the current PaaS docker-based "best practices" involve _quite a bit_ more management than heroku. I pay for a PaaS hoping to not do this management! It seems odd to me that the market does not any longer seem to be about providing this service.
> So I think worrying about whether your apartment is nice enough might be analogous to worrying about whether your penis is big enough

I think the point of an "expensive" place (really just a big one that isn't disgusting) is that you can host people, throw parties, etc.

Being able to host is a massive boost to people being willing to go out of their way to spend time of you, and (good) hosts get a +4 bonus to sexiness also
What's your point here? You still need a license.
> It feels like 90% of women on there are chasing the top 10% of dudes and not settling for anything else.

Sure, and 90% dudes are chasing the top 10% women.
Technically, he is right. But OpenAI was the first to find the winning formula and make it famous.
This is very much people seeing the Apple Lisa(and/or Mac) for the first time. It had all been done better in the labs at Xerox over a decade earlier. No one got to use it though.
I wonder what Yarvin thinks of NFTs. It’s like the VHS vs Betamax of cynical obfuscated decentralized scams.
That looks to be a great idea to me to replace faked user reviews on well known shopping sites. I expect it could be games though

The fact that you felt the need to check Wikipedia shows why LLMs can't replace search, at least not in their current form.
>Tech Bros on HN just don't have the visibility and remain in their weird HN echo chamber

As someone who has worked in consulting on the Enterprise side for 25 years, the HN attitudes towards IBM, SAP, Oracle, and even SaaS companies like SF/SNOW/Adobe is baffling. Corporate America would literally cease to function if these companies disappeared one night, but would hardly bat an eye over the disappearance of Facebook, Apple, or even Google.
Curious why you suggest Auth0 and Supabase. What is wrong with Supabase auth?
Depression and anxiety can have very significant effects too, way beyond what people would assume. I spent years thinking I had a serious health disorder, but in the end? Just anxiety causing all the symptoms.
This is a bit of a tangent but have there been studies about deep breathing combined with physical movement, relative to just deep breathing?

I've done yoga on and off for a number of years and the synchronization of breath and moderately difficult physical exercise to me, seems like the sweet spot that breathing alone would fail to accomplish.
I don't think it is confusing and I don't think it is what you're suggesting. The wiki explicitly says that the act of prostitution is legal but the act of procuring it is illegal. Essentially you get arrested for paying for sex. The John. This is often done so that women have more of a safety net and can feel more comfortable going to police if they are abused. In other areas if you are trafficked you might feel scared to go to the police out of fear that they will arrest you.

This isn't the same as saying that prostitution is legal because the transaction is still illegal. It also doesn't resolve the issue of the correlation, which is the main point.
I humbly suggest you are committing the fallacy of anthropomorphizing humans. What's your definition of consciousness? How do you know that a (sufficiently complex) biologically inspired computer program doesn't have it? What's special about meat?
In some ways, yes, but I think if you game it out, you see how the company loses in a number of ways. First, repetitional risk. Second, it’s likely that a liquidity provider would emerge who could offer, basically, to buy call options from individual holders for enough premium to cover the taxes due on exercise. (Stripe would not want an unaffiliated 3rd party accumulating a large position)
> If you’ll pardon the jargon, this kind of thing is what experts refer to as a “big problem.”

I really hate this kind of inscrutable industry rhetoric. Why can't they just speak plainly?
> new Tab Activity Center feature, which will provide insights and breakdowns into your browser usage over time, just like Screen Time or Digital Wellbeing on an iPhone or Android device.

Do people actually find this data useful? I don’t find screen time on iPhone, well-being on Android helpful. I certainly don’t care to see any charts about my browsing activity.

I’d rather see Microsoft improve the interface to see all the tabs on all my devices. Sometimes it doesn’t sync correctly and history is missing.

Im using vertical tabs instead of horizontal and I’d like the mouse over pop out of the tab list to be faster. So many things to improve instead of spending time on usage stats.
I created a browser extension to help transition to Mastodon[0]. If you are curious about Mastodon but don't yet feel like you can leave twitter.com then it's a great way to get started. Essentially it injects Mastodon posts into your Twitter timeline, so you can retain your existing Twitter following while getting exposed to Mastodon.

I'm working on a Firefox version right now as well.

Yep, it does seem some people don't like the name, which I do understand. I wanted to add a slight lightness to something medical-sounding, I guess trying to make healthcare less intimidating - I'm sorry it has those connotations for you!
It's not in the company's interest to piss off employees who can't afford to exercise their options without being able to sell them.

My company recently got bought by a privately owned company. Because of the ownership structure of the purchasing company we weren't allowed to exchange our options or let new ones vest so my company's board approved cancelling and reissuing everyone's options with an acceleration clause so they'd completely vest at completion so we'd all get a full payout. They did this because they knew if they didn't that there would be an exodus of employees before the purchase went through.

Employees represent a large % of the value of the company, if they all leave you just have a bunch of tech that no one else knows how to maintain or use. Institutional investors typically have such a large proportion of the shares that it's worth it to them to not just screw over employees because the employee sticking around and keeping shares is worth more than they'd save.

This implies one has energy and resources for social activities. A big chunk of the US is broke and/or exhausted at the end of the week.
> I recently asked gpt to give me a markdown table of the continents, their landmass and their populations. I checked the numbers and they matched wikipedia.

But there is no reason to think that it will be correct, structurally. While you can find examples that work, the AI does not know the truth. An AI does NOT have an understanding of populations, locations, etc.

Whining about the amount of destruction this causes and the environmental impact is far from absurd. Your the one in denial.

Keep the insults to yourself, because your no one special yourself. Your less of anyone when you start making accusations. I live in Scotland, which tyvm has far more than 400 acres of land-free for natural use.
Yup, exactly the same experience here. It feels like there's been a recent wave of SEO-optimized websites that consistently pop up when I google specific errors, but rarely have literally anything of substance.
I shared a source making this claim. You don't think it's a good source, which is a totally valid position, but you've not shared any evidence for this assertion. It'd be good to follow your own advice and back up your own claims with evidence, or dial back your claims about the blog. I'm really baffled why someone who called a piece of writing "horrible guided and confused" with nothing to back that claim up is in any position to lecture someone else about substantiating claims with evidence
I have hobbies. Highly recommended!
> Do we really believe google, with all its resources and engineering talent, has no ability to develop something on par with OpenAI?

Yes, they’re a large, bureaucratic organization, that’s incapable of developing new products or avenues of growth.

For the sake of argument though, let’s say Google created a product on par with ChatGPT, they would just kill it after a few months like every other Google service that they’ve made.
> Imagine if 72% of the apples you bought at the store were rotten by the time you came home. Imagine if 72% of the cars manufactured were scrap in the first 10 miles.

A large nationwide grocery store chain carries yogurt covered raisins of such low quality that every time I have tried them over many years I have gotten nauseous.

That same store sells their own branded frozen fruit that is often so tasteless that it is useless at being "fruit".

One of America's largest brands of coconut milk is devoid of any coconut flavor, I have no idea why it is on store shelves.

Clothing and cheap electronics are two areas that will always be problematic. LED bulbs from physical retailers are also a crap shoot and frequently fail. I have purchased 2 identically labeled pairs of Levi jeans from a store and had them fit dramatically different.

Baby clothing sizes from well known brands are still a crapshoot, the reason for buying and returning through Amazon is because they make it easy, buying directly from Gap has the same sizing problem, but returns are more difficult.

And this is assuming you can even buy some items at all, I was trying to buy baby winter gloves and local stores have almost 0 choices, stores have maybe 1 style available.

Want something that isn't made out of plastic? Buying online, or at a local speciality store (for insane $$$) is the only choice.
Some Rust breaking changes do not require a major version
You will be happy to hear that already exists since. Read up on docker buildkit and the --mount option.
This looks amazing.

The only suggestion I have is to make it paid, instead of free so I can maintain low anxiety that you're not going to sell my data, or show me ads in the middle of box breathing.
As fun as the nitpickings are, Bret posted some criticisms of RoP to his twitter that I thought even more illuminating regarding the director using the storytelling medium to just lie to the audience. It rings true to me. All the "clever misdirection" just felt clumsy.

Afaik theoretically you could reproduce any image in the training set using the full weights (not a fraction of them) and the correct prompt. In practice since this is an extremely lossy process, some or most of them aren't reproducible. For this specific case, I suspect it'll come down to whether somebody in the class can pass a test like this: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.03860
Interesting title and message. Seems like you're targeting xooglers specifically. Why? Are you surprised to be laid off?

Google ranking hasn't been very good in the recent years. You must have some ideas to improve it that you plan to use for your startup.

Good luck.
Would it maybe be possible to extract that prompt by doing prompt injection?
This is neat. I'd like to hear a bit about how it works.

There is a similar paid API that does something like this https://handwriting.io (seems like they are down now though) I used to use it for print projects back in the day.
I'm probably not google-level, but I have an idea to recreate ask jeeves, where at first it brings back all the results and people check the box next to the ones most likely to fit their need, using reinforcement learning it'll eventually know the best ones, and then have gpt3 summarize the top 10, and eventually just answer the damn question. The goal being chatGPT+Google+wikipedia(citations) to combat chatGPT's misinformation issues.

Another idea is to basically create LLM's for every city's laws/legislation/codes etc and basically be like an ai lexus nexus.
It's also true that in systems like this there exist many single points of failure. There's a reason decentralized systems are seeing a rebirth.

With Chess, you have an antagonistic relationship.
You are motivated to overcome the AI player.

With this ChatGPT non-sense it is symbiotic and we rely on the results gotten no matter how we got them. Or do you think calculators make you better at computations in your head or a better mathematician?

I think the problem I have with this headline is the tacit meaning of better.
The results might be better yes, but YOU are not different.

I have spent years polishing my English, reading Orwell, Harpers, Lapham, Poe and others. I spent hours arguing about the minute differences of intricate grammatical structures. This is nothing an AI can help me with. It can only be gotten through a teacher and arguing, thinking and brooding over differences in the solitude of ones chambers, NOT by conversing with an AI that always delivers bespoken solutions as tasty morsels lacking the bitterness of labor as the underlying creation of the solution is lost.

Unlike with a teacher, it cannot be gotten from an AI either because the AI is a generator void of the deeper understanding of what is going on.

And the same can be said about thinking.
Writing is nothing but a vociferated thought put on paper.
You're right, though the article is talking about pay transparency laws in several different US states, so perhaps some have this loophole and others don't.
For sure. It's true that men in abusive relationships are definitionally in relationships. But the reason for that isn't, "women like abuse". Many people of all genders have abusive bosses, but nobody uses that to conclude that people like having abusive bosses. The way it works is that successful abusers are good at fooling people to get them into contexts where they can abuse. The ones not good enough at that end up alone, of course.

The point is in reference to flohofwoe's earlier comment which stated "it's still fairly straightforward to map C statements to CPU instructions.". By pointing out the existence of vectorized instructions, which are entirely absent from the C standard, pjmlp was making an argument by counter-example. That while you can map C statements to CPU instructions, most compilers typically don't apply such a 1-1 mapping.

The seeming non-sequitur referring to the ISO C standard was because flohofwoe responded to the rhetorical question as if it were a normal question, leading pjmlp to restate the rhetorical question in a stronger form.
> Do you want to live in a future where artists don't make original art, musicians don't make music, book writers don't write, and so on, all because AI companies can replicate 1000 different copies in their style or merely remix it for marginally $0 cost, washed of all original copyright?

My creative output per minute has probably increased threefold in the last few months from incorporating these tools into my workflow. What I've been making doesn't look or sound like anything that anyone else is making.

You're going to have a really hard time using Stable Diffusion to make quirky cartoon daily desk calendars in the style of plaintiff Sarah Anderson. You're going to have a much better time if you think more like a Creative Director and have less of an idea ahead of time of what the tool is going to give you... so you can iterate, much like a painter iterates while working.

These tools require the creative agency from the artist who is using them in order to produce things that people find interesting, entertaining, valuable or otherwise meaningful so I really don't see a "corporation goes brrrrrr" doing anything other than flooding the lowest-common denominator content feed pipes on the internet contrasted with the highest quality art using these tools in incredibly transformative ways.
> Leah Wilson, the State Bar of California's executive director, told NPR that there has been a recent surge in poor-quality legal representation that has emerged to fill a void in affordable legal advice.

> "In 2023, we are seeing well-funded, unregulated providers rushing into the market for low-cost legal representation, raising questions again about whether and how these services should be regulated," Wilson said.

Got it. There are not enough affordable legal services in the US, and so the Bar's solution is to regulate them away.
> Do you think most guys (or even most women, perhaps) have ever paid the least bit of attention to being interesting and exciting to their prospective partners, much less empowering them?

I know for sure that a lot of men, significant percent of my single friends, actually tried that for years, with little to no effect. Seems like when a woman needs the man to be interesting and exciting, she wants some non-trivial specifics which are actually hard to either understand or achieve.

> So the bar is not that high.

Would you think that this whole situation the article describing happens while the bar is not that high? Do you think the problem is illusory? Or the society as a whole just doesn't know some rather simple to make and simple to understand actions?
This is indeed a very cool demo, and runs fully client side. I have been trying to find a way to add this to my project for a while which is a client side static website. As pointed out in other comments, this is open source: https://github.com/sjvasquez/handwriting-synthesis
I would strongly discourage fishing in international waters. The basic problem is that there is a huge incentive for such women to pretend interest when what they really want is the green card. The balance of what each brings to the table shifts considerably once the permanent green card is issued.

Note that this is *not* to say that international relationships can't work--I've seen some that do (including my own) but I do not know of one that didn't involve one person being in the other's country already (although I would not rule out both people being in a third country, I just don't know any such.)
To be fair to ChatGPT though, all the search engines first recognize that the query is trying to perform an arithmetic calculation, then pass it on to a calculator. ChatGPT already understands what is being asked, it would be trivial to perform the next step, pass it on to a calculator and return the right answer.
I recently built a Web based MVP and used Node-Red as backend. Frontend was python+flask, postgres and everything dockerized.

I've mainly used sinatra and rails for Web apps and always found it difficult to define a clear api on which the frontend was based on (I.e in order later to build ios or android apps off).

Using Node-Red forced me to build an api for the frontend, the frontend has no direct contact with postgres.

Plus I found it to be more flexible than directly coding when I wasn't even sure what the database schema would look like.

Database modelling was done with pgModeler, I.e. No migrations and more pgsql functions and triggers.
Well yes, automation makes a massive difference because with a machine you can crank hundreds of panels in a particular style in the time it takes a human artist to do a single one.

In fact, I generated a bunch of Tintin panels between writing my earlier comment and this one, and they're bad but not terrible - mainly because I asked for 'Tintin riding a bicycle [...]' and it's having trouble with things like the bicycle spokes. Two out of the 4 'feel' right in terms of the line drawing style, color palette, foreground-background composition, level of background detail etc.
