It seems like a lot of effort will be spent to ensure that content is not generated by an AI system. This seems very tricky to enforce - a stopgap measure could be to require any person to upload a video where they say their comment before being able to post it to a website. Of course, along with the regression of user experience, such a thing could be tricked by reading an AI generated text, and eventually with deepfakes.

Is it viable to constrain conversation to human voices this way or is the cat out of the bag? Is it desirable? Should we just go back to in-person conversations?
I just downloaded the app to try it just now. Sad to report that it feels like an alpha product. It thinks I live in Kansas and wanted me to download maps for that state. I live in the US, but over a thousand miles away from Kansas. It finally asked to use my location, which I approved, and even then it didn't ask if I wanted to download maps for my area. The map is completely blank on my screen. Some thought into basic UX flow would improve usability so much. I don't feel like trying to find out how to cajole this app into doing fundamental things that pretty much every other map app does easily.
ChatGPT just proves how critical thinking is and will be an extremely valuable trait for us to embrace and understand.
I wouldn’t want to invest my money, my retirement funds in companies that don’t strive to be highly profitable. Do you?
Hard to answer this without more context as it really depends on the personalities and viewpoints of those you're dealing with. I could see a world where it could work with very technical leadership that had high trust in you, but my gut instinct is it doesn't come off well.

Is the problem you're trying to solve that leadership doesn't feel you're responsive enough? Or is the problem that the team is being pulled in too many directions to maintain focus and momentum?
It does seem like making the city undesirable for the wealthy would be only way to get prices to drop (stopped being affordable a while ago)

From /r/Costco comments, they're trained that it's a loss prevention technique.

The phrase "a second factor checking that the cashier correctly counted all items" is just a nicer way of saying "for loss prevention". And technically, the statement is correct, insider loss prevention is a widespread issue.

What makes the Go code so verbose isn't so much that you have to type "func()", but rather that you need to list out all the types, as well as the need for an explicit return.

squares := numbers.
filter(func(x) { x >= 0 }).
map(func(x) { x * x })

let squares: Vec<_> = numbers.iter()
.filter(fn(x) -> { x >= 0 })
.map(fn(x) -> { x * x })
.collect();

You don't necessarily need new syntax for this, although it may help with clarity.

The Rust => code is still a bit shorter, but not much and I don't think it matters much.
Thanks for clarifying. I always thought these other named systems were Unix-like but not Unix but without going all recursive like GNU with the naming
By that logic Amazon is a vastly superior company because they make more products than Apple. Amazon makes its own hardware and products: Alexa, Kindle, Ring, etc. They have ground and air fleets. Amazon holds majority marketshare with online web services...

I don't think this 'real' sentiment is best used to describe Amazon.

Multiple times daily connection drop – Xfinity pushing invalid DOCSIS updates
Not the poster on the Xfinity forum, but thought the analysis would be interesting for HN (Assume many here fall into the bucket of using their own modems.) Came across this after my own internet connection started dropping 20+ times per day past few weeks. Comcast Tech said everything looks good on my connection and my best bet is just to buy a new modem and see if it fixed it.

I didn't read tfa but for long unclaimed bags this has been SOP forever.

Once the bags are recorded with baggage service and they've been in the federated database for so long, if the owners do not claim, the contents are donated where appropriate.

The bags themselves sometimes are set aside as ad hoc replacements for anyone who has a bag badly damaged in handling or other mishap.
When I was living in Neuquén, Patagonia Argentina, we had the same situation.

The city was closed almost a day because a truck driver lost the capsule while driving his truck.

That was 25 years ago I think.

Edit: I'm reading that 6 years ago the same happened..

Nice, that they keep improving the app. However, Osmand gives mixed feelings.

Examples:

1) Going from Munich main train station south (Hauptbahnhof Süd) to Berlin main train station (Berlin, S+U Hauptbahnhof). Osmand tells me to download Czechia Northwest map. Doesn't make sense, the route doesn't even go through Czechia. Ok, I think. I download the missing map, app crashes. Restart the app, do the same search again. From one major German city to another. Pretty straight, it would be just one highway (A9) basically. Takes 4-5 minutes to calculate with a Samsung S22. That's just meh.

2) Do the same search again but this time set avoid highways. After 15 minutes still no result, I gave up.

3) The search function is contra-intuitive.

4) Even with a Samsung S22 the map is kind of slow if you just move the map around. For driving it seems ok though. The new engine might have speed up things but it still a far way to being smooth.

I don't complain, but I wish they would address especially the route planning and search.

You’re not naive. Most of the office space (fidi and the eastern areas of soma) are completely fine. Pretty much the same as any city. Things only get worse when you go south and west. The offices are empty because of remote work, not crime/homelessness.

They could make that area more residential, but there isn’t a ton to do right now

I would grant that Amazon's Graviton is an actual thing, but that's pretty new. I would put the Fire and Echo devices in the same bin as their branded USB cables, i.e. "we put our logo on some stuff out of Shenzen."

I get that AWS services are a real thing made possible by other real things, but it's also essentially a branded software layer on top of a lot of open source stuff. Over-simplification, sure, but there are enough third-party services that ape enough of the AWS API that I think of it more like a Dell than an Apple.

The more I read and hear about luggage handling (this article, lost luggage last summer, cbikes are often damaged in planes...), and after unsatisfying experiences (waiting for hours to check in or to claim bags), I'm more willing to take the train than the plane !

In Europe, you show up into a train station, handle your bikes or precious bag yourself, get in your train, and step out to leave the station immediately.

To anyone in the airline industry : the bad user experience with bags doesn't encourage me to carry bags in the cabin. It makes me get buses or trains whenever I have stuff with me.

This should be a reminder that _users_ know best, not management. They have _needs_ not because they're picky, and won't adapt to your service. They will get an service to match their needs.

I feel like airlines don't want you to check in bags because they say it's premium, and _good_ passengers don't need them. Well, if your feature is 'premium', you don't develop it it to offer a satisfying user experience.

Bags should be on the MVP. You want bags and to get them bag, not just money.
Or users move on to others company products.

I don't have exact figures, but NYC converted a bunch of commercial space to residential post 911. I moved to NYC in 2006, and the cheapest rent we could find was a converted apartment building on Wall St.

The interesting thing is how that area transformed over time. Right after 9/11, it was empty (lots of destroyed office space, barricades, etc), then the offices started to fill back up but with only 1 or 2 residential buildings, which meant very little else, especially on nights and weekends (no grocery stores, shops, etc). Over the years, as more residential space filled up, the shops and stores came, the coffee shops and restaurants extended their hours at nights and weekends, and the whole area came to life.

Supplements are great because at worst they work like a placebo. There is a ton of evidence that placebos actually work better than real FDA approved stuff (in some cases) because there is a metric tonne of crap we don't understand about the brain itself and it's ability to heal the body.

At best they actually affect the gut microbiome in some way (mostly probiotics) which, in many cases, are also backed by clinical studies that show has effects (placebo controlled). We'll be finding out in the coming years that the gut microbiome is the "second brain" or the brain controlling the brain. Everything from mood disorders to major diseases like ALS to auto-immunity of the thyroid may start with good or bad bacteria in our systems.

This is the cutting edge research, nothing in a book in the last 3 years.

When your ownership of things depends on a private organization - under the ultimate control of who knows who with what private agenda and incentives -, the organization's willingness of cooperation in this ownership, and proper and fair implementation of procedures, with incentives for them to do so the best being indirect (sales volume of products as a whole) then there is definitelly an issue!

Just because there are criminals out there we shouldn't mandate all and every honest parties prove themselves of their innocence proactively....

I am surprised this security vs. freedom things is still something where people argue so overwhelmingly for the security part against themselves despite the many many many bad experiences throughout the history in various levels....

(there are schemes where the ownerships is strictly controlled but by a public body of the society with regulations around it - house, car, etc - but not a private business oriented organization's coined policies and online account implemented by there sole discretion and judgement who is allowed to use what, what constitutes acceptable proof in their view, and who is given access to that authoritive account and who is locked out eventually, potentially for a completely independent reason)

Yes the killer feature in this case (relative to microservices) is a sane deployment, single codebase, unified language, being able to do integration tests without a full DevOps team, etc.

GPT is a language model, not an oracle.

So my first take is that people querying it for research are doing it wrong.

Then again, if there’s a large economic incentive to use it in that way, we are very well may end up with the kind of feedback loop that the author describes.

Anecdotally, I've read a long time ago that fish oil should help with sleep but I didn't start supplementing. Fast forward to this summer, I had big sleep problems, I couldn't keep a normal schedule and when I woke up I had terrible brain fog, took my like 2-3h in the morning to wake up properly and be able to function.

Then I started taking fish oil, I got it by the bottle because I've read pills could have rancid oil and I figured if I directly taste it I will know if it's fresh/well kept.

My sleep problems disappeared overnight.
I’d use a boilerplate like SaaS Pegasus.

One of the stories at the beginning of Volume 2, of The Art of Computer Programming tells of Knuth's early attempt to generate random numbers.

It's a story of a clever kid, relying on intuitions and getting it wrong, because it's mathematics.

Thus he devotes one of his twelve chapters entirely to random numbers.

Unfortunately, it is well established by internet forums that nobody should read Knuth.

This is cool because the raw data included the text, so you didn’t have to OCR or anything. Unfortunately the same today might be harder depending on the situation you’re thrown in - I think if you are given PCL printer output there’s a good chance it’s all been rasterized before being sent to the printer. Budget printers are now removing all parsing from the printer (given sufficient bandwidth over the interface, unlike with parallel or serial ports, or even USB 1.0) in the name of cost cutting and rasterize the entire output on the PC, then send the entire page at 300dpi with some line compression to the printer - which is why the printed text always has a soft, almost blurred look.

(Ironically yesterday was the first time I had trouble with my Postscript printer configured to always download soft copies of fonts from the PC; I was printing in Arabic from MS Word and the printer was making the strokes so bold all the letters connected. Converting to a PDF and printing from Adobe did the trick.)

Elon Musk’s Twitter hit with holocaust denial hate speech lawsuit in Germany
One approach to fixing factual errors is to use two rounds of LLM interaction. I forgot the name of the paper.

Say you ask "What is the height of Everest?"

1. generate an answer in closed-book model, with the LLM: "The height of Everest is 8723m" = candidate_answer

2. search your references with candidate_answer, find: "At 8,849 meters (29,032 feet), Everest is considered the tallest point on Earth" = search_snippet

3. do a second pass to rewrite the answer with the LLM using search_snippet in the prompt

Basically, the incorrect phrase candidate_answer is very good at matching the correct answer in search engines. It is like a template tuned to extract the desired facts. A search engine check could also verify when the searched fact has no references.
While I would like to ingest every one, cost is a factor.

Even if we were self-hosting, there's a cost to ingesting and storing every single span.

And even if we are able to pay for ingesting 100%, not everything is practical to be ingested 100%. Our most common request type (heartbeat) generate a span payload size that is a multiple of the original request. We're using Elixir in production, and those can absorb a tremendous amount of traffic, saturating the entire CPU capacity of the hardware if we let it. The agents are not capable of keeping up.

Exactly!

It has gotten to the point where I take any contract put in front of me as a statement of how the other party does business. If they contract is all one-sided to their benefit and/or has crazy escape hatches for them and/or penalties for my side, it's best to just walk away, even if it costs a lot. I've tried to negotiate such clauses into something reasonable, and it is just a waste of time. They've told you how they do business the first time — believe them the first time.

When I write contracts, I make sure that they are mutual, down to the structure of every sentence and paragraph. E.g., "Both parties shall treat confidential information with the same care as their own confidential information..." in an NDA for prospective joint development. I'm not the only one, and I've seen that sort of approach many times ('tho less often that I'd like). Those are the kind of people/companies I want to do business with.

Avoid the former like the plague that they are. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
