Once it has human rights, free will, agency, etc. you can draw parallels with human brain and say it should be allowed to learn from open information like a human does. Until then it’s a copyright laundering tool.

Microsoft et al. want you to think of it as if it was somehow similar to a human because it is convenient to them (“aw but look it’s learning!”), though of course in reality if it was even remotely equal to a human the whole controversy would be gone as they wouldn’t be able to do things like using it as they do without its informed consent and fair compensation, think how ludicrous this idea is and there’s your answer.
> Maximum subarray problems arise in many fields, such as genomic sequence analysis and computer vision.

or simply as: given a string of processing steps in a value chain, what would be the most profitable substring to integrate?
A reversible function is not a very interesting development in the world.
That's weird, I use Mac (x86) and Linux (x86 Debian) and Firefox works great on Linux but is unusable on Mac (at least it was two or so years ago when I last tried).

I have an nvidia card and non free drivers if that matters
Humans often draw bad human hands, as well. Don’t even try to ask a human to draw a bicycle.
"confidently wrong"

That's chatgpt right now. To get it to confidently right will take years and years more
Many stores I go to in rural america ONLY accept cash or check. The areas are so poor they refuse to pay the credit card fee. That and I suspect there's a lot of tax evasion going on.
I asked it to generate sample aws step function config and as far as I could tell it made up configuration parameters. I know it’s a language model.
The story for weight these days is The use of GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide, prescribing for these is picking up. The criteria for getting them are also at BMI levels that are not crazy high for an American population, particularly if you have any signs of ‘metabolic syndrome’ such as high blood pressure, pre diabetic high blood sugar, etc.

The advantage here is that this is not ‘off label’ at all for many people today.
How?

Did you book through multiple methods and fail to cancel one?

Did they run three charges each matching the printed invoice?

It's unusual to come up with scenarios that would require much "fighting" to resolve.

The only overcharges I've ever incurred across thousands of hotel nights were my own fault for excessive cleverness*, and easily sorted.

* For example, playing off Hotwire's blind pricing with after hours front desk pricing.
Do you use any sort of stiff backing to prevent bending?
I agree that the output is often wrong despite looking right, but in this instance I don't see anything wrong in this example.
Thanks for the tip and it does look good but I seem to be watching paw patrol and blippi lately and nothing at all I want to watch.
You still can get away with it fairly easy. I quit this last year but when on flights I often would go into the bathroom and just hold the vape until it was gone. Then again I wasn’t one of those that blew room filling clouds
I am pretty sure that is exactly what the medium is the message means. The medium itself brings its own bias and manner of operation.

Social media and a real public square are completely different. A social media post is never going to be the same as public speaking in front of large groups of people. The latter acts as a huge filter on who is going to speak. The village idiot would be filtered out from tending to not want to be shown to be the village idiot in front of the crowd.

That to me is why social media is exactly doomed to fail. It is exactly giving voice to the village idiot who would be filtered out otherwise. To have large scale intelligent discussion most people need to be on mute.

To me, it is a very strange conflation between everyone's vote counting in elections and everyone's opinion about basically everything mattering. The latter is obviously ridiculous.
My company has about 4K employees. My team? 20. As best as I can tell, we have two stellar employees, two terrible, and 16 who are all basically the same. How these 16 are ranked is based on how well they get along with their boss, the PM that manages the projects they're assigned to, and the managers of other teams that they periodically interact with.

Yet somehow, management/HR can classify these 16 with enough certainty to decide that 8 deserve good compensation/promotions, and the other 8 should be PIP'd?

In some teams I work with, every single employee is what I consider an 8 through 10. Yet the 8's should be RIF'd/PIP'd?

Evaluating and compensating employees is tough enough without using voodoo like Stack Ranking.
"CNET, a titan of tech journalism..."

LOL, give me a break. No respectable technology professional considers CNET the bastion of tech journalism. Even before I knew that their articles are written by AI I never would rely on CNET as any kind of authority on matters technical.
I do a lot of kayaking (not white water kayaking) and fishing off my kayak in lakes, rivers, and the ocean on calmer days.

Does your style drone have any following features? Looking for something to fly around looking for fish and something that will follow me or do fly-bys when I’m doing something with the family.
Yeah, I have insurance with 'Flyaway Coverage'. Still have to pay a fee and there's a limit to the number of claims you can make over a time period but it's a lot cheaper than buying a new drone.

There's Giropay/Paydiret which is neat and offered by some small shops and even some bigger ones like Steam.
Also, most banks support Klarna, which you can also use to pay without paying 30 days later or in rates.
You are correct that it is possible to have a rewrite go badly in any language. Rewriting a project in Rust can go badly depending on the circumstances.

However, there are some patterns that Rust does not allow that other languages do allow which may help to avoid problems.

For example, creating cyclic dependencies and relationships is more difficult in Rust due to the way that ownership rules are enforced. Rust also helps to avoid data races and memory unsafety issues so that whole classes of errors and bugs can be avoided.
PayPal has started serving me tons of captchas and verification SMS (sometimes multiple of each within less than ten minutes) that it has honestly become infinitely more convenient to use GiroPay and whip out my bank card + TAN generator.
UBI is mostly so people have a minimum, don't starve, and can live in something that passes as a dwelling. Not having basic housing is a huge poverty trap, so make sure folks can eat and be kinda stable.

These guys are puffers at big investment banks getting well over 6 figures while they pump iron and work on a masters degree. No comparison, or sympathy.
Rust CLI Tools
I’ve had it confidently tell me to use Python libraries that don’t exist, pass parameters to methods that aren’t in the method signature, and to write code that had to be debugged and fixed.

I’m still excited to use it, but you have to know enough about coding to ensure correctness. It’s no where near possible for a non-coder to build a complicated app with (so far).
I have to say, I find all the comments dismissing ChatGPT hilarious. I read them in a funny grandpa voice. However, we should look past the insignificant details. The main achievement is that we now have a really capable unstructured text-to-computer interface. We can hook it up to anything and it will give us answers with whatever properties we desire, in whatever shape we can think of.
The best analogy i've heard for digital currency is not that digital currency is the automobile to cash's horse drawn carriage, but that cash is a bicycle. both can (and should) co exist. the low tech cash is a better solution for many problems, and people without access to digital currency, but it risks being displaced by lobbyists and needs to be protected by the efforts of private citizens.
Aye, thanks for checking for broken windows! I haven’t launched yet and they’re both still on the todo list. Both should be done today.
In my experience, ChatGPT often comes up with pseudo syntax.
EC cards, when they first came out, were revolutionary and way better than the credit cards of old. Eventually, though they became increasingly unusual, mostly thanks to the internet (no way to pay with them there. They had a hidden creditcard-like number, but you would never know), and are now dying because enough banks have started handing out creditcardesque debit cards which work on the internet. Of course this also meant we lost some 20 years of digital advantage of an universal global payment system.

Lessons learned: Technical leadership is nice, but don't think once you are ahead, you'll stay ahead.
It would be interesting to see massive warnings about sugar related illnesses on packaging.
Probably SALC (set AL to 0xff if carry flag set, zero if clear). NEC will ignore the low bit of the opcode and run the documented XLAT instruction.
This looks like a good benchmark for a program synthesis project. Interesting to think about the different ways to deal with the reasoning about however many negative numbers there are and their indices.
Most things are strange, missing, broken for mundane reasons that you can't do much about. The space of new ideas is huge, but almost all new ideas are bad. One strategy I really like is to think of technologies you couldn't build 5 years ago but are just barely possible today. That's where yesterday's bad ideas become today's good ideas.

For example, laptops and phones produced 20 years of incremental improvements in li-ion batteries, and suddenly electric cars are "unlocked".
Home Depot with 2.3K edge locations on k3s like Chick-fil-a
This isn't an issue, because it's possible to add prose quality and content accuracy scores to training data and train the model to predict those quantities during generation, which would allow you to condition the generation on high prose quality/accuracy. It just requires a small update to the model, and a shit ton of data set annotation time.

Likewise, images can be scored for aesthetics and consistency and models updated to predict and condition in the same way.
My laptop only uses Windows and Linux, only Apple hardware I have is desktop. But makes sense that Safari gets best battery time on Apple laptops, friends with Apple laptops says the same.
Not OP but Skydio might have the drones you need?
InfluxDB's newest storage engine, optimized for time-series data, is built with Rust (https://www.influxdata.com/blog/influxdb-engine/)
This is very true. Ideas are pretty cheap to come by. Implementing, building, teasing them out into a practical scenario is hard.
That works as long as you need a standard stamp. It fails the moment you need to send a letter to overseas.
> I think with LastPass the problem was more the aggregate of many things, a sort-of death by a million cuts.

That's true.

> Because truthfully, the PBKDF2 iterations count issue was relatively unimportant.

IIRC, some people's LastPass vaults were set to use a very old default of a single PBKDF2 iteration, which I understand is basically nothing, nowadays.
I love the form factor. But please. For the love of god. We need something with wide availability that supports at least ARMv8.2.

At this rate I have so little hope in other vendors that we'll probably just have to wait for the RPi5.
According to Alex's own tweet, ChatGPT originally produced the obfuscated code too.

In my head, this is like asking someone to translate "Hello" into French and then asking them to translate "Bonjour" back to English. It proves nothing about capabilities or usefulness.
Why are you assuming that it will make writing worse not better?

Just because it can be used by non-experts to create crappy written work, it can also be used by people who work with it to augment and improve their existing writen work.

To my mind AI is a general purpose technology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_technology

I guess using this mental model, what you are worried about is the equivilent to pollution?

Did the printing press also increase the amount of crap in circulation?
Agreed, the happy path is that code implements a spec that has already been agreed upon, anything less means guess work for both the authors and reviewers of code.

Life is about compromise so this doesn't have to be true 100% of the time, but this should be in your team's list of core competencies.

Also RFC doesn't HAVE to mean big pedantically formatted and worded monospace document. Templates help make sure common mistakes aren't repeated, but using normal-person English and easy to understand code examples can be very effective.
That's important to realise, in case your (normal) second factor is a different Bitwarden device!
It reminds me of a dog eating its own vomit.
Not the least interesting subchapter of the bean story, because those things were the most pressing oop data + behavior conglomerates that desperately needed disentanglement, and because "truth from the backend" is one of the most obvious use cases for immutability. But The Bean was more than that, just think of that FactoryFactoryBean meme that haunts Java to this day which was (in my perception) the result of that misguided love affair with XML called the XmlApplicationContext. ("who needs a compiler when we have xsd to ensure footgun correctness!")
incredible. I was obliquely reminded of Donald Trump's sharpie incident, similar kind of crude misrepresentation of data
Agree- so many are dismissing it because its not perfect, but this is an absolutely enormous leap from anything else I have seen in my lifetime, and this crosses the chasm IMHO between "AI is unlikely to really be able to have general applicability" to "AI is probably going to upend life as we know it in our lifetimes."

Maybe it will just peter out at this level like self driving car technology did, but I really doubt it, and it seems to me that the building blocks are already there to commercialize this and use it in a real way. The future is going to be interesting...
Coincidentally, I had ChatGpt write a short story about a man going to the beach in they style of Dostoevsky and showed it to my wife.

And she cried for a minute before starting to laugh that she was crying from a story made by a bot.
Ask HN: Will we eventually get hologram projectors for our faces for privacy?
Recent headlines outline something many people aren't happy about: Most recent headline in this vein I saw was some people went to a party, and someone modified all the photos they took at the party to be not real, but of those real people at the party.

... Also, people are increasingly wearing public spy devices like glasses with cameras. Additionally, in some countries many people think it's OK to just photograph anywhere they want (and anyone they want). ... Also, governments are increasingly using cameras to ID citizens at protests etc.

Will we eventually see on the market hats whose brims project holograms over our faces? or collars that project upwards?
I'm disagreeing that the obfuscated code even works. You shoudn't be able to deobfuscate code that doesn't work and get a resulting code that works.
We need content curation AI to catch up with content generation AI.
Go read about Pan Am in the 1920s and 1930s & you will think differently. They were busy building global transportation routes with whatever technology they could get their hands on.
Gitpod has laid off around 20 employees
No, as ChatGPT doesn’t even have public API. All those products either lie, or are breaking Terms of Service
I agree, but that fact is not an substitute for actual evidence of the alleged practice occurring. My strategy of daytrading would be more effective if I had insider information, but that doesn't mean I was insider trading just because I was doing well.

I second this. I was using a Cloudflare Tunnel, which worked but meant I had to jump through some hoops setting up an email auth flow that then sent me a verification code

Now I use Tailscale (which is free for a single-user account) and it works excellently, without the Cloudflare dependency. No login necessary through the browser like with Cloudflare Tunnel, because you're already authed with Tailscale on the device.
Also brings this article to mind:

Not saying there won't be those who do, but caring if something was created by AI instead of a human is about as intelligent as being bothered by your neighbor being a certain nationality, or boycotting a movie because one of the actors has the "wrong" skin color.

It matters what we consume, plenty of humans peddle rotten ideas and false narratives. With AI, I'd look into the models and the intentions of those who created/run it. What sort of content it delivers. Just as it makes sense with human authors to look up their biography and publishing history.
As a customer, you can still use your credit card at Paypal and file disputes with your issuer as usual. The merchant just does not get your card number directly, which anecdotally many users perceive as an advantage.

As for German regional effects: Paypal allows payments via SEPA Direct Debit there too (~ACH), which are free but very risky for merchants. Many customers don’t have any online-usable debit card, so that is often their only way to pay online. Paypal takes on that risk for a fee.
I switched to rolling my own smokes with hemp paper and filters almost 20 years ago. I can't stand the taste or smell of chemicals from packaged cigarettes (even the "organic" ones that still have all kinds of accelerants and flame retardants in the paper). A single Marlboro will give me a headache the next day.

It's actually just really sad that smokers have been force-fed that deadly shit, because while the poster above is correct that nicotine itself is not harmful and it's mainly the burn products of the tobacco leaf that are carcinogenic, they don't need to be nearly as deadly as they are in modern packed cigarettes. Some of the additives are mandated by the government (such as the wood glue that's now used in all commercial rolled cigarette papers as a "fire safe" stopper halfway) and those are as bad or worse than the arsenic and other additives the tobacco companies came up with.

On the other hand, roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco, especially the type labeled organic, has its own issues. One of them is that "organic" tobacco actually has a higher level of Polonium (which is taken up and concentrated by all tobacco plants, where it's present in the fertilizer - but organic fertilizers have higher levels of Polonium). Of all the thousands of compounds you inhale when you smoke a cigarette, that's probably the one that's most likely to cause lung cancer.

And yet smoking is so fucking delicious. The commenter above who talked about conversations in college over a cigarette -- that's my life. Every night. Having to step outside the cafe hasn't killed it, that social ferment, although I think that was the intention when they banned smoking inside. If anything, it's heightened the interaction after an entire generation was forced into these ghettos. If only 11% of Americans smoke (which cannot possibly be true -- that's an absolute lie, as at least 70% of people I can think of in Portland from 30 to 60 smoke cigarettes and Portland is not exactly Mississippi) they're definitely the most interesting 11%, and highly concentrated now.
How did you figure those numbers? They don't seem related to any of the content in the article or any other content I can find about them online.
A willingness to change one’s mind and the cliche Socrates idea that one knows they know nothing always helps too.
That's a pretty funny response to a pretty funny question!
Which metre is that supposed to fit? I can't fit that around any psalm I can think of, most of which are 8/6/8/6 metre.
What is the process of creating these type of products around some prompts?
It functionally is.

Many of those who have not learned from history are so anti-Apple (or possibly subpar webdevs) that they completely ignore the lessons we've previously learned about why browser monoculture is dangerous.

Even more worrisome, these people often ignorantly call Safari "the new IE", meaning they're aware of the history and problems and choose to pursue their own broken interpretation.

If these people will ignore a browser with 50% market share on mobile and 20% overall due to their own shortsightedness, clearly they're going to ignore Firefox or others hanging out in the single digits.
There was a restaurant that opened near my old apartment (literally on my block) that started off with no tipping. It was a great fancy pizza place. Loved going there. Fast forward about 5 years, we've moved a few subway stops away so didn't go there as often (also the pandemic). We go back in 2021 and we come to find out as we pay that there is a tip line on their receipt. Never truly found out why but I wonder if it was hard to find or retain staff that can work at similar, or better, caliber restaurants and make more money via tips. From comments in their Yelp reviews it looks like they started taking tips before the pandemic so that wasn't the cause.

I hope you'll be able to continue not taking tips because I really wish we'd abolish this practice. Good luck with your cafe and I would love to try it out next time I'm in LA!
There are viable alternatives to public transit in dense cities, that don't require a car centric lifestyle. Scooters, electric mopeds, or even low speed vehicles that give you the same privacy and comfort as a car. It just doesn't make sense to use the exact same vehicle in a dense urban neighborhood as you'd use for a cross country road trip.
I disagree. We have called online distribution "content distribution" and the people who contribute stories, videos, and art "content creators" for at least a decade. It's a catch-all generic term for all content that another person would consume via a platform. In a general work setting you're probably not producing content for a platform, but you are certainly producing content for your coworkers and customers. It's so you don't have to say: "stories, blogs, vlogs, photos, digital art, products and any other thing that is consumed by others."
Running Linux on a desktop pretty much guarantees that you have an endless parade of small problems to fix.

I really wish this weren't true, but the user experience has barely improved in the past 15-20 years. The specific problems may be different, but it's still the same struggle.
Pretty much. Every project I start, it's the same kind of yak-shaving. Database schema, logging, authentication, display of errors, build tools, CI/CD, backend, front-end. Full-time is not even enough for this for one person.

There is a ton of CRUD and mind-numbing tasks you have to churn through to get to the interesting parts, and I have been doing the boring parts for 20 years. The goals barely changed, but how we implement things has. New ways to build, new way to deploy, new languages, new frameworks. Just keeping up with it is a struggle.

I think my next project, I am just going to go Rails. It's my way of giving up :)
And I would reciprocate on that drink!

I live in New Orleans those days, social alcoholism is a lifestyle there! I haven't been in Spain in a solid decade. I miss traveling and living in europe. It's so pleasant.

To get back to the subject at hand, I think you gave enough context so I can understand your point. Thanks!
It looks that the key is being ex-service industry, and now that you stated it... I do see that behavior of "service-industry hardcore solidarity thought tips" in friends here.

> usually people who work/worked as waiters, bartenders or taxi drivers in America tip much more than other people, because we understand how difficult the job is. But of course, you are not trying to buy love with money.

And I can sense the likability oozing out your messages.
