A fun one I had to deal with: tree fell on my power lines the day before I moved in. No big deal, the utility company will come out and repair it, right? Well, it ripped the electrical drop out of my roof, and they wouldn't reattach until a city inspector came and made sure my house was up to code. It wasn't. This was 4th of July weekend, so everyones off. Had to pay double rates for an electrician to come out and fix the drop but also make a bunch of updates to my house to bring it up to code so that utility company would reattach the lines. I learned how expensive copper is that day.

$5,000 later...

Edit: I've been very lucky since and had no major issues. Got the roof replaced by insurance in another round of storms later that year (tree branch fell). And I really really love my house. Having a place to "call your own" as they say, is really nice. And a place to spread out in (moved from 600 sqft to 2400 sqft) is just an incredible feeling. It is really a privilege that most do not get to experience and I'm grateful for it.
Is it correct though?

I’ve been toying around with ChatGPT for a few weeks now and I encountered a few situations in which ChatGPT was like 90% accurate at best. Things like suggesting snippets of configuration files or plugin research. It’s good to get an idea and get started somewhere, but I certainly cannot trust it blindly.
Google not prioritizing 4chan and KiwiFarms is a terrible example "not wanting organic content". They're not just "organic content", they're cesspools of the worst kind of organic content. 4chan is notoriously filled with questionable to outright illegal content/activity, and KiwiFarms is just a website to organize doxxing and online harassment. I don't understand why that's your standard for "organic content". I would have to heavily question your activity if you're being thwarted by a lack of those sites in your search results. I'm personally very happy with 4chan links not showing up in search results.

I also think you're misunderstanding how Google prioritizes content. It's not showing the content people want, as much as content that's optimized with SEO to look appealing.
My biggest issue with code review is that people rely on it and trust it too much. It does certain things in the "better then nothing I guess" way, but gets hyped as if it was all there is to teamwork.

Yes, it does little bit to spread knowledge - but it is not much effective at that. Actual occasional architecture session where ideas are explained is much better. Yes, it does little bit to catch bugs, but having actual testing in place does much more. Yes, it does something to teach junior, but for Christ sake, currently it leads to "give them task with no guidance, let them figure it out and then tell them about everything they have done wrong". That is just about the worst way of teaching people.

And it creates social issues we don't want to acknowledge, because code review is sacred and cant be criticized. Which leads to kindergarten level of advice to people who run into issues like "dont take it personaly, be nice". Which is next to useless if you have an actual social issue going on in your team.
And the cost to support this fork is increasing with time as Google constantly adds anti-features.
An intern can only be unpaid if they are not doing productive work and you have a trainer with them. Most unpaid internships are illegal already, but the interns don't know they can/should report it.

If you are an intern in a railroad you can move cars around the yard all day: you can move them to a loading dock, or to make up a larger set for a train, but at the end of the day you must move them back. However if any of those cars are moved to the dock are loaded/unloaded, or the larger train they just made leaves the yard, then they did useful work and must be paid for that.
I don't see what you are trying to say here? That we shouldn't even try to recycle anymore because some garbage gets shipped to SE Asia?
It's useless in most circumunstances: it depends on what the attacker has access to. If the attacker only has the master password hashes the server uses to gate access to the encrypted database, then they would need to go through the full 200,000 iterations. But if they have the encrypted database then they can run 100,000 iterations and just try to decrypt the database (assuming this check is cheaper than the 100,000 iterations, which it likely is). And it's far more likely the attacker has the encrypted database (which can be pulled off of any machine which has been logged in, as well as the same database which contains the master password hash, if bitwarden's servers were to be breached) than the master password hash alone.
Without a doubt ChatGPT. Still surprises me daily.
I know you’re joking, but I do add mineral drops to bring the TDS back up.
>>I guess, like smokers, people don’t believe there’ll be consequences until it’s too late.

I wonder with this comment is irony or not? So let me ask, did you support the banning of smoking by government there by denying people the right to body autonomy, deny business the right to control their property, and deny consumers the right to choose for themselves the types of business they transact with? (aka freedom of association) all under the mantra of "the greater good"

Because if you support that infringement upon liberty then it is indeed ironic for you to then use smokers as a prop to talk about further governmental infringement to liberty
This is exactly how Dunkin, McDonalds, and Starbucks operates now that they all have apps. So, the vast majority of coffee places in the US.

Hoping the author reads this: I'd be using your online version if it didn't require a login, especially with a confirmation email after account creation. You lost me right there. Too high threshold, giving you my real address or going through the hassle of a burner one. I'll just use one of the hundreds of alternatives now.

Please do some serious thinking whether this login thing is really needed. I may not be interested in the features that need some statistics tied to an account.
Using combinatorial mechanics to generate new ideas is a powerful technique, perhaps first popularized by Ramon Llull in his Ars Magna (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Llull). Similar techniques are also used in TRIZ (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ).

The bottleneck here is to have the domain knowledge and experience to judge which generated ideas are good.
xterm hooks into the tty subsystem by creating a pseudoterminal, not into shared libraries. The handling of control sequences and the buffer is re-implemented in C.

Different kinds of emulators have different kinds of interfaces they emulate.
2 second login times can drive away enough customers to make it be the case.
You'd probably also have to botspam stars, issues, pull requests.
I'd like to buy a laptop that's also a fault tolerant cluster.
Innovation is really a weird thing. If we could show ChatGPT to people 10, 20 years ago I'm certain most people would be amazed by this technology.

Today, lots of people heavily criticize its limitations and thinks 40 bucks/mo is too much for this kind of tech.

Reminds me about newspapers headlines being skeptical when light bulb started being sold for the first time. 99% people seems to be fundamentally conservative and can't grasp innovation properly, nor understand the fast pace of evolution some things can have.

Not saying this is good or bad, just an interesting phenomenon to observe.
Good OC > Good AI content > diarrhea > brain cancer > kiwifarms

Google isn't prioritizing AI content, it's just losing the battle against it. Not the same thing.
Surely design and structure are just a matter of sprinkling enough ASCII special characters into a text blob.
Consuming less is still by far the best approach, better city layouts and greater public transport, etc.

As for the Lithium production figures:

> Let us consider, for example, electric cars. To give an idea of this effect, producing a battery weighing 1,100 pounds emits over 70% more carbon dioxide than producing a conventional car in Germany, according to research by the automotive consultancy Berylls Strategy Advisors.

https://phys.org/news/2023-01-paradox-lithium-net-zero-emiss...

which to be sure isn't a full life cycle comparison .. but let's be very clear, the full G20 country demand for an electric future creates an unreasonably high demand on copper and rare earth mining and directly impacts all manner of marhinalised people - the US has a $64 billion copper reserve in Arizona on sites considered sacred by Native American tribes.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of an Asus PN41 (w/ Celeron N5100) to use as yet another home server, after a recommendation from a friend. Be interesting to see how much it draws at idle!
The organic analogy to AI refers to locally-produced crops grown with natural fertilizers and pre-industrial pest and weed control strategies, as an antitode to industrial-fertilizer soaked, herbicide-and-pesticide drenched, antibiotic-and-synthetic-hormone laden, globally-transported heavily-processed foodstuffs.

While this does sound good to most people, it's always worth remembering that Old South plantations produced nothing but 100% organic cotton, despite their atrocious practices of human slavery.

If we include this perspective, AI has some potentially extremely positive potential. One of the most promising trends in agriculture is the adoption of AI to the problem of weed and pest control, as well as fertilizer use. AI robots crawling over fields can use image recognition to identify weeds (and kill them with IR lasers) as well as pest infestations in their early stages. Application of fertilizer to individual plants on as as-needed basis (rather than just dumping large volumes on the entire field) also becomes possible. This can be done far faster and more efficiently than by human laborers walking up and down rows of crops, weeding by hand. Potentially, this could make organic-style agriculture as cost-effective as the industrial variety.

Sure, this means fewer field labor agricultural jobs - which are pretty tough, backbreaking jobs by any measure. Similar arguments apply to a lot of the drudgery in creative and artistic endeavors.

Of course, AI could also replace most corporate board positions, and a lot of upper management as well, and hey, why not the shareholders and investors too? Are they of any more value to the operation of a business than the replaceable grunt workers are?

Let's make the world's smartest AI and have it make decisions about how capital should be allocated to promising startups, removing fallible humans from the loop. Resource optimization on steroids!

Yes, I read too much science fiction. See William Gibson, Iain M. Banks, Hannu Rajaniemi, and Adrian Tchaikovsky for examples of what can go wrong (and maybe right).
> they shouldn't be mandatory

The same goes for public transit. That's the central argument, don't force other people to live the way you live. Everyone should have a choice in how they conduct their lives.
Changing the size of a type wrecks havoc on ABI stability. glibc has attempted to change the size of things in the past with disastrous results. It sounds like changing this type would be very difficult. Not to mention code that does something like `int32_t time = gettime()`. (Although this code probably won't get much worse if that starts truncating)

Yeah, it does. We can have cycles in data and do recursion (although not in functions yet), but it is admittedly a little strange compare to imperative world; there's a recursion limit set that will short-circuit a computation if it nests too deeply. This isn't because of a danger of stack overflows, but because Mech programs are intended to reach some steady state at the end of each event. The problem with cycles is that we don't know when something is in an infinite loop, or if it's still churning before a steady state is eventually reached.

That said, one of the things I'm really interested in is seeing how far I can take the model on a DAG, because programs are much easier to reason able when they don't have cycles in the data. So far it seems you can write some very complicated programs (games, graphical user interfaces, robotics) as a DAG.
Here's a little concept (with 2D js simulations included). IANARS.
Wasn't really a particularly difficult sample... You know what it does by just looking at it.
Yeah, I think many people in the Fediverse don't understand what makes specific networks like Twitter great. Twitter is instant, unfiltered news. You get new information much faster than through other media. If the people running Mastodon instances are so vocal against global search, they are missing out on one of the most important Twitter features.

Likewise, (early) Facebooks killer feature was that you could "stalk" people (I mean that in a non-creepy way, hope that ironic usage translates to English ;-)). You could look up and get into contact with people that you know from real life. Friends, Classmates, Friends of friends. It was a social telephone book. And I think it was a great aid especially if you were not extremely socially inclinded and extroverted, because it helped you interact more with people in your life. At some point, FB changed radically. Afterwards it was more about adding random acquaintances and getting stupid articles in your feed. The social USP went completely missing.

Same for a myriad of other smaller sites that have closed. Every site had their unique appeal, but nowadays many sites define themselves as what the are not.
In the US, the major airlines prohibit use of e-cigarettes onboard. Do not vape on a commercial airliner.
$2M has to be a jumbo mortgage, unless the FHA regulations have changed. These usually carry a decent increase in interest rate, not to mention the higher LTV will also do that. You'd probably be getting a raw deal there...
Lots of truth to this. Just start building. Build for yourself and real people, not imagined profiles of people. The more you build, the more you explore, the more you'll find low-hanging useful ideas. As you encounter them it’ll surprise you that the space is mostly empty.

Patio11 tweeted about using ChatGPT to immitate social signaling by rewriting content. I thought that was fun so I started doing it. That grew into Spencer Westford: https://vc.blankenship.io

That grew into a product: https://persona.ink

That keeps snowballing. Ever since building for myself my notebook of ideas is growing faster than I can keep up.
Chrome and Firefox may use WebKit but have very different looks and feels and some different functionality. They’re not just “skins”.
I was inspired by comparing DNA to information and used that as a formula for generating new ideas.

As someone in SEO, I've been pretty disgusted by the desire for site owners to want to use AI-generated content. There are various opinions on this, of course, but I got into SEO out of interest in the "organic web" vs. everything being driven by ads.

Love the idea of having AI-Free declarations of content as it could / should help to differentiate organic content from generated content. It would be very interesting if companies and site owners wished to self-certify their site as organic with something like an /ai-free.txt.
It's just guessing and happened to be right once

I assume most major media outlet editors have used AI to help them come up with headlines for many years.
I worked at a place where a floor of an office building was converted to a data center starting in the 70s. In doing so, they built a false wall in front of the windows.

Early in my career I worked in backups, and we had a dedicated fiber network, which ran in the space between the windows and fake wall. I had to do some maintenance back there and it was shocking - the windows were coated in this nasty yellow residue and smelled vaguely like cigarettes, even after almost 20 years.

The old timers laughed at my horror and said that people would sit at their desks and smoke packs of cigarettes, every day. At one point there was an employee who would wheel a cart around collecting ashes. The ubiquity of smoking was shocking to me - I’m glad it’s behind us.
I am not sure if you are opposed to the idea of localized damage. That is the best thing you can do as then one can control it far easier. It is much easier to test for emissions from on coal plant powering all the EVs on the road for example than the other scenario of testing each ICE vehicle.

As to externalities, no one said that there shouldn’t be taxes or rules in place that make sure that the consumers of lithium don’t internalize the cost.
I think that one issue here is that the early feedback is not code review and there is zero reason to try to force it into code review framework. Vague high level design-level feedback session can be organized and named as such.
I think the key is noticing, which implies being a more passive observer. Most people want to find new ideas, which is being active. I've never had success at actively finding ideas but much more successful just living life, listening and the ideas just come.
Are Big Tech Companies Deploying Their Own Versions of ChatGPT?
Paul Graham's article on "The Power of Toys" explains it perfectly - ChatGPT is like a toy that captivates everyone. With OpenAI rumored to be valued at $29B, it's evident that this "toy" has become quite valuable.

Are we entering a new phase where every major tech company will have their own version of ChatGPT? Perhaps Apple will integrate it with Siri, creating a ChatGPT-like feature. (Recently, there was an intriguing conversation in the comments of Hacker News about OtheloGPT and large transformers, and the knowns and unknowns.) Google seems to be concerned about competing in this space due to the accuracy. Is it possible to make these transformers more accurate? Are all companies developing their own transformer?
They've "thrived" because of what I just said - Disney has a near monopoly on blockbuster movies that come through theatres, but that doesn't mean it's good content people want to watch, they just don't give anyone much of an option.

I don't think their model would work if they just dumped all their content on Netflix. If it's not working with Disney+, why would it work in another service that's the same thing with a different name? People have plenty of options of content to stream that aren't from Disney, so their status doesn't mean anything in that space.

Also it's not "great partnerships," it's monopolistic purchases that allowed them to buy their way to their current position. And even with the well-beloved IPs they acquired, they still manage to fumble things. Look how badly they messed up that Star Wars trilogy. They're not good at making content.

Try to build a web browser with WebKit. I assure you it’s a lot more work than a skin.
I'm in the process of standing up my own hardware (1U server/some simple compute box + FreeNAS) for doing this.

There's a variable I don't understand with self-hosted cloud/storage: what guarantees do you have that they're not peeking at what you store? Why do you trust them over $CORP? Do you encrypt your data at-rest (dm-crypt, fscrypt, etc.), and do block storage providers support this?

edit: fix typo
Also interested about its accuracy. I built a C/C++ obfuscator[0] a while back, I'll have to make a note to see how well ChatGPT deobfuscates its output.

OVH for me. I rent a bare metal server ($80/mo) for development and a use an OVH VM for my personal site. Their DDoS mitigation seems legit.
> U.S. tipping doesn't make any sense from a European point of view.

Because you're thinking about it too hard or otherwise unaware of the inner turnings of the system.

Where it matters, servers are almost their own industry, swapping gigs at this or that restaurant to work with this or that regional manager. The restaurant gets their money from the bill, the server gets their money direct from the customer they helped.

My server goes to a different restaurant -- I go there and keep getting awesome service.

This type of arrangement gets really close to a guildhouse/coop more than a franchise.

In places with less stable relationships (tourist restaurants), asking for tips might be a predatory thing -- or you can see it as paying it forward: "hey person working to get people their demands in a moments notice, I hope this tenner will help you hold that smile in the face of another consumerist monster. Thanks for being a human."
"These language models aren't actually smart, they're just good at parroting smart sounding things they've been taught"

I still don't understand the purported difference between "sounds smart" and "is smart".

How else can you verify an entity's intelligence other than its "output"? Every doctor, pilot, president has obtained that position of power and responsibility literally only by being tested on their outputs.

We can't see inside a human's brain just as we can't see inside an AI's brain. What is the difference? How else do you propose we verify intelligence?
I've seen a lot of people saying that tipping is uncommon outside the US, and that it's only a thing there because of the wage structure for servers.

But that's never been my experience. Over here in the UK, I almost always leave a tip when eating in a restaurant, as well as when getting food delivered or having a haircut. None of these folks are paid under minimum wage or rely on the tips to survive, they're just offered as a bonus for their service.

And most others I know act the same way. They'll tip those who provide good service almost regardless of the kind of job that's involved.

So is that uncommon or something? Are there really folks here who just... pay exactly what a restaurant charges and no more? Or am I missing something with these whole 'no one tips outside of America' discussions?
But how to prove it is AI free? Earlier I found and posted a stackexchange article which listed many answers, some banal and some intriguing:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34463535
Only because companies are trying to do this human verification on the cheap. SIM swapping-alike attacks aren't a problem with institutions like banks where they keep ID on file and you can visit in person to prove your identity.
This is a thoroughly vacuous take.
The point is it goes master password -> encryption key -> master password hash. The master password hash is only important if you want to download the database from bitwardan's server, the real valuable part is the encryption key, and the attacker is extremely unlikely to have the master password hash but not the encrypted database which they can use to check the encryption key.

Super interesting stuff, will go through it! Somewhat unfortunately I've mostly departed from research and have defected to the financial industry. I actually recently gave a talk about Engelbart and his ideas to my colleague, in case someone here finds this interesting:
