Also, it's not a very good poem. And it's definitions aren't entirely correct.

Which is a huge problem, because you cannot trust anything ChatGPT produces. It's basically an automated Wikipedia with an Eliza N.0 front end. Garbage in gets you garbage out.

We project intelligence whenever something appears to use words in a certain way, because our own training sets suggest that's a reliable implication.

But it's an illusion, just as Eliza was. For the reasons you state.

Eliza had no concept of anything much, and ChatGPT has no concept of meaning or correctness.
You can download the checkpoint right from hugging face and diffusers is a library you can use for free, I'm not sure what the issue is here, that people need an account?
Show HN: 1Kb Webspace
Hey guys, I wanted to introduce you my hacknight project.

It is a tribute to onekb.net which has stopped its service a few years ago. Currently it is still a beta where external resources are also possible (but not the point ;) ) to get your opinions.

When it is finished, the source code will be open source. The secret word is therefore also hackernews.

P.S.: The source code is currently 2.4Kb I'm trying to make it smaller. 1Kb would be my goal.
Do you also apply this fatal (and fatalistic) attitude toward efforts to cool the Earth by cutting emissions?
Because we all know how the US Republican Party is in control of China, India, Russia, and the whole European Union.
That's great, but you also wouldn't expect them to write a relevant critique of society and culture since they can't even read the local news paper much less understand the living mindset of people.

Everyone here keeps anectoding about their trip to other places when the issue is not daily living but writing an opinion piece about a society they don't understand enough to live in.
Most sins are not crimes, so, where's the news?
> Roberts made clear that partisan gerrymandering can be distasteful and unjust, but that states and Congress have the ability to pass laws to curb excessive partisan gerrymandering.

In other words, it's up to the legislatures to ban gerrymandering first before SCOTUS can rule on it.

...so the very legislatures that practice gerrymandering to make sure their party stays in power should, after a sudden revelation that this practice is distasteful and unjust, decide to forbid themselves from doing it? Yeah, that sounds very likely!
Sound travels further through cold air.
I think lawyers will be at pains to demonstrate how laughably bad the AI is when pushed. I don't blame them.
ChatGPT lies. It makes up facts, sources, and nonsense arguments.

Lying to a judge is generally not a good idea. You can go from traffic ticket to contempt of court real fast if you start lying in court.

ChatGPT also assumes you're speaking the truth. If you ask it about a topic and say "that's wrong, the actual facts are..." then it'll change argumentation to support your position. You probably don't want your legal representation to become your prosecutor when they use the right type of phrasing.
I got 3d x-ray-ed by my dentist a while ago. Few seconds and he had whole structure of my teeth in 3d at his laptop. Quite impressive and presumably simplifies their life a lot
> We don't solve problems.

Oh yes we do. In face of an ongoing global catastrophe we have solved the problem of how to not care. Fossil propaganda at this scale is an engineering and social challenge which has been successfully solved, with massive investment and violence.
... yup, first tasks are going through all issues resolved and all commits/PRs merged and cross check.
There's some Go, TypeScript, and the usual frontend stuff.
Morality is the only thing I'm querying here. No point changing the topic.
Why does the number of countries matter? You go to a foreign country for a week, and you learn a few phrases (please, thank you, where is the toilet, ...) before you enter, just in case someone there doesn't know english, because why should they, if they're not from england/usa/canada.

If you live there for 10 years, you should definitely be able to learn the language enough to do daily tasks in the native language there.
I think a “clean room” reimplementation should be doable here. I. e. one person writes the specs based on the code, another one writes the code back from the specs.
> As the AI gets better people will trust it

AI is just informed search, a dwarf sitting on shoulders of human knowledge. There were medical "expert systems" in 2000s, yet we still have doctors.

In my understanding, in most cases AI will be a glorified assistant, not an authoritative decision-maker. Otherwise in collides head-on with barriers and semis. I won't trust such system even with a parking ticket, yet alone my life.

We're just at the top of a hype-cycle now. AI can do new things, but not as well as we dream or hope.
Yeah, X kind of works on MacOS, but the refresh/redraw rate in terminals is so bad that it is unusable for day to day work. I eventually had to stop trying and configure Iterm2 as a clunky rxvt-unicode simulacrum.

As a side note, the Xorg (XQuartz) distribution from MacPorts seemed to be more compatible with Xresources than the official XQuartz package.

I miss all aspects of Linux and I will shed a tear of joy when I can return to it on my work machine.
That's part of the reason but it's likely also due to what user ogurechny explained. Most consumers have no idea about the true capabilities of their databases and it would scare them if they understood. Take facial recognition as an example. Also a non-crippled reverse image search would be the perfect stalking tool. Simply a lot of ways they could bring lawsuits and regulation on themselves so they tone it down just enough to not lose their search engine hegemony.
Yeah, not sure if attitude of english speakers toward natives in Australia is something to be widely joked about or satirized.
Gross simplification.

> Here's how it was supposed to work: The person challenging a speeding ticket would wear smart glasses that both record court proceedings and dictate responses into the defendant's ear from a small speaker. The system relied on a few leading AI text generators, including ChatGPT and DaVinci.

- Recording court proceedings is already a big no in many countries around the world.

- Licensed activity is licensed activity. IBM Watson did not practice medicine it provided advisory information to licensed doctors, the onus of the decision is with the doctors. Much in the same way Joshua Browder could have done better due diligence and concluded that he could create a service to advise lawyers but could not create a service in replacement of lawyers.

- Joshua probably already knew all of this and is trying to advertise and/or gather funding for his company.

IANAL etc.
Wait until you hear about this Electric Car company, using real people to beta test untried self driving software, on Real roads against other drivers and pedestrians...
Making a lump of silicon generate a painting is far less trivial. That's not relevant. Being trained on paintings was described as stealing, and unless your argument is that stealing is easy so anything non-trivial can't be stealing, I don't see the relevance.
This is a common case I see of misusing statistics without really understanding what's happening. I can't read Norwegian but I'll take a stab at what's happened here (based on my knowledge of other articles and having 20 years of personal experience of fitness training).

- This wasn't one group session but repeated sessions of HIIT back to back (maybe even daily).

- There wasn't sufficient rest between sessions.

- Some of these were older (50+) patients.

The most important part is the repeated sessions. Doing a single session of HIIT pull-ups or sprint intervals on the bike aren't going to cause major muscle damage, even in an untrained person. Doing 5 days back-to-back, repeatedly going beyond failure (something Crossfit is notorious for), with improper form, are what causes the issue.
In the end I don't think it really matters.
I don't think that many people where actually using OpenAI's products directly. Unlike Instagram.
That idea is insane, it's well established that language shapes thought. Ask any multilingual person and they'll tell you their personality changes from language to language. I'm glad your kid speaks a bunch of languages, but if they don't learn A they'll never be able to fully culturally connect with country A either.
Have a look at this for some first ideas: https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/climate/...

(think more draughts, much more intense wildfire seasons, intense rain events, nature's rhythm which is depending on temperature being disturbed).

And I don't know if the "cure" will be worse, that's why for now, I'm only advocating for research into solar geoengineering. (But as the stratospheric release of sulphuric aerosols is also a natural occurring phenomena -- think volcanoes -- it is not something completely new we would be doing here.)
I'd give it a go if you want to speak German for a bit. However, the conversation is very likely to be skewed towards talking about Kraftwerk, Nue! and careers of Eric Zabel, Jens Voigt and Andre Greipel.

(To be perfectly frank, even if you're speaking in English the conversation is going to be skewed towards Kraftwerk, Nue! and careers of Eric Zabel, Jens Voigt and Andre Greipel. Sorry about that.)

Joking aside, I don't think I've ever met a local that didn't appreciate my attempts to start a conversation in their language even if we eventually switch to English.
I find the need for lawyers a tragedy. Interactions with the judicial system are often some of the most important events in a person’s life. The fact that it’s necessary to pay someone hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour to help navigate the arcane process is sad and shouldn’t be necessary. It would be one thing if laws were meaningfully written down, so that anyone could read the statutes and build their own argument, but the laws are not written down in a way that has meaning unless you are willing to wade through centuries of case law.
> Yeah and at least 90% of them were immersed in it since birth at home

And the guy from the article has been immersed in it since ten years ago. Thats long enough to learn enough to be able to do day-to-day tasks and not expect every local there to adapt to your lazyness of not learning the language.
> so it's ok to do experiments with the atmosephere of the people of Mexico?

So it's okay to do experiments with the atmosphere, as long as you re-brand them as "pollution" instead of as "experiments"?

(and of course, organizationally separate the scientists performing the data collection/analysis steps)
geoengineering, bioengineering, "AI" in the wild,... at some point we'll realise out-of-control tech in the hands of narrow interests is not your run-of-the mill social malfunction.

But the "cure" is likely to be as bad as the illness: Retaining individual freedom as the confined domain of our planet sees ever more powerful technologies is a highly non-trivial challenge.

We can keep iterating the vacuities of yesteryear or evolve the drastically new thinking and behaviors that will help us get to a sustainable place.
I think the way forward might be an arbitration case, where they pay an actual legal expert in the right position to make binding decisions outside of the context of the normal law system.

In voluntary arbitration, you can bend the rules a lot more than in an actual court case.
Worthy to note that the "clean-room" doctrine is not required and even discouraged legally, in favor of more direct source code reading and idea extraction (See Sega v. Accolade and Sony v. Connectix, in which the latter court commented on clean-room being inefficient and the kind of wasted effort that fair use was designed to prevent)

The whole point of the idea/expression dichotomy is that copyright doesn't protect ideas. To that end, extracting the uncopyrightable elements out of copyrightable code is more than legal and court-endorsed. Wine's approach just makes me sad, lots of wasted effort on black-box testing where a disssembly of the real code would be legally in the clear and allow it to advance at much better speeds.
Expats miss out on local job opportunities that need German speakers.

I am not in Germany, but the point applies to other countries. I missed out on extremely good opportunities a few years ago because I didn't speak the local language well (like opps that would have gotten me an easy 20-30% raises. I was constantly having to say no to recruiters because of that one detail, that I was not good enough at the time. I did get good and I did get a good opportunity and I hope in the future that I don't see it any other way that the investment of putting my head into something like that will have a great return in the future.
Why? Land value tax isn't bad for home owners. It would simply replace property tax.

Land value tax pushes speculators and people with empty properties or under-used property.

People who live in subburb don't lose on a land value tax based system.
I have a gmail account, but I use it for almost nothing. I don't trust them as far as I can throw the company. All it takes is one tiny infraction of some rule you never knew about, and suddenly you lose your entire Gmail account, your youtube account, and everything else associated with gmail.

My main account is on a personal vanity domain that I've owned since 1995, through the ISP that was my main BBS at the time, and they had just recently gotten on the Internet. I was also working at AOL as their Sr. Internet Mail Administrator, and I knew how hard it was to run a reasonably good mail system, and I didn't want to have to do all that work all over again on my personal vanity domain. The anti-spam system used by my ISP is decent, but not great. On top of that, I layer a Bayesian-based anti-spam program that ties into my mail client, for further filtering. Plus my client has anti-spam filtering of its own, and I have hundreds and hundreds of manual filtering rules that I've written over the decades.

Even with all those filtering layers, I still get at least a dozen or more spam mail messages that get past all the defenses, and I have to manually delete them and run them through the retraining algorithms.

And I still don't trust any "unsubscribe me" link that I see, unless I know for sure that I signed up for service with that company.
more democratic doesn't mean more effective.

many people prefer spending economic surplus on local stuff (housing, education, healthcare, sewage treatment facility, storm drains, roads, smart phones, cars) then all of this has upkeep.

it seems democracy with a developed economy, and capitalism, and these huge corporations optimize for short-termism, carving up the pie and not for growing it bigger. (there's a basic setting of "1-2 percent growth per year, and it might trickle down")

basic research funding is laughably low (and its quality is also unfortunately low), state capacity has been outsourced, there are no serious large scale publicly funded efforts (which is would have the chance of reaping the benefits of automation/industrialization, economies of scale), no effort to actively counteract the negative effects of globalization (disadvantaged regions can become corporate towns at best, trailer park fentanyl hell at worst), and of course cities are completely Pikachu surprised that urbanization continues and more housing is needed, and more density is needed, etc.

The AI is learning. Why is one of those things stealing and not the other?

You're conflating a few different things. Being able to pay bail so you don't have to be in jail while you wait for your trial doesn't get you out of having a trial, and has nothing to do with needing lawyers.

What the parent was referring to is the fact that if AI starts to consume the low-end (starting with traffic tickets), actual lawyers for trials will become even more expensive, and thus poorer people will actually fare worse because they will lose their already-limited access to human lawyers. Yes, their case might get handled with less hassle and cheaper, but the quality of the service is not -better-, it's just cheaper/easier.
> If they just wanted to show the world their product was viable, why didn't they pay for a real lawyer who's down to their luck to read out the crap ChatGPT was spewing out so there wouldn't be any legal gray area?

They tried that, but swung for the fences for publicity: they had a $1,000,000 offer to any attorney with a case pending before the Supreme Court to use it for oral argument.

Up until they abandoned the whole robot lawyer idea, that offer was open but apparently got no takers.

> You'd also need a fast typist to feed the record into ChatGPT of course, because you can't just record lawsuits,

You also generally can’t use an earpiece to get a feed in the courtroom, either.
I haven't decided yet, if I can get away with air cooling the CPU that would be nice, but I'm not opposed to AIO. I won't run a 4090 in there.

Apparently brand new accounts can't edit their comments, who knew. Edit: but seemingly this only applies to the very first comment you make

Regarding the phone calls, most people at this level use travel agents so the hotels won't have the client's direct contact information anyway. It's the travel agents job to communicate any preferences you might have regarding the stay.

If you're booking directly, it's common and useful for the hotel to reach out to you regarding your preferences and to see if you might need them to arrange something like airport VIP services or transfers. Nobody will be upset if you've provided a fake number and the hotel can't reach you, your reservation won't be cancelled.
Absolutely atrocious stunt on the part of that company. A glorified chatbot is not itself legally accountable or trained lawyer and it cannot seriously represent anyone. I assume the entire purpose of this was to bait the obvious shutdown and then complain on the internet about the legacy lawyers or whatever to generate press. Reminds me of the 'sentient AI' Google guy.

Is this going to be the new grift in the industry?
I would think one would look at the original quote and see it says:

"私は日本語がかなり下手です" [0]

Not being good at something is not the same thing as having refused to learn it. From the authors response I honestly can't assess their level of Japanese well. I routinely have had people tell me they don't speak English well but then have a full conversation with them.

There's a big problem. Not all wrongness can be identified in the moment. AI can produce convincing wrongness unintentionally and easily.
What you're describing seems to be the D'Hondt method which favors larger parties, not smaller parties.
that's really smart! i think i'll replace my calendar on the wall with it.
As soon as all the people sharing my account stop I can cancel it.
I really don’t like the idea of solar geoengineering.

If we start sending up sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere and it fixes the problem. What do you think we’re going to do? Stop caring about global warming entirely, and pump way more green house gases… why wouldn’t we? We can just fix it with more sulfur dioxide. Then you send up more and more and more. And eventually something breaks. Now for some reason a countries balloon pops somewhere else and we get acid rain.

I don’t think we should be messing around with the earth until we can actually say that all parties are working towards the same thing. I don’t truly believe all of humanity gives a care about much beyond themselves. Sadly I think we need some kind of global disaster to wake us up. Postponing the problem for years and years has been our solution for everything.

If we get to a place where everyone can agree on a set of rules or principles we can proceed. Until then this is just going to end up with giant oil companies going look we’re not the problem it’s the sulfur balloons we need them! While they frack and drill the earth till there is nothing left.

Same opinion for things like firing missiles into tornados or removing every mosquito from the earth.

But I’m probably in the minority here.
> It’s got to the point that in central Helsinki, you often can’t get service in Finnish in bars or restaurants.

That would really suck if you were a native Finn and don't speak english, and the service worker in your own country doesn't speak your local language.
The best introduction to Nostr is on the Nostr protocol github:

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr#very-short-summary-o...

>Everybody runs a client. It can be a native client, a web client, etc. To publish something, you write a post, sign it with your key and send it to multiple relays (servers hosted by someone else, or yourself). To get updates from other people, you ask multiple relays if they know anything about these other people. Anyone can run a relay. A relay is very simple and dumb. It does nothing besides accepting posts from some people and forwarding to others. Relays don't have to be trusted. Signatures are verified on the client side.

The FAQ on the same page also answers questions about why Nostr instead of other options like Mastodon, Secure Scuttlebutt, etc.

There's also a recently launched podcast that talks to some developers building on the protocol:

These "issue traced to staffer" stories sound like management cover up for management/system shortcomings to me.

Systems with such significant potential impact, and in industries where lack of financial investment in their continuity is a deliberate choice have very little excuse to be passing the buck to grunts for basic process flaws that can be triggered by individual error.
Considering what russia is doing and how propaganda works, it’s not so interesting why there are so many Chekhov and Dostoevsky on a forum for "hackers". It's interesting that there is so little about ballet here :)
Can someone explain how these proteins get to form the capsid structure? Do they just float around in the cytoplasm and self-assemble through molecular forces? Or there are other specialized machines that do the assembling? How are the machines produced in the first place? It seems so improbable, like throwing a bunch of bricks near each other and getting a house
> How does failing to get rid of a traffic ticket ruin someone's life?

The downside of contesting a traffic ticket is not “failing to get rid of the ticket”. The ticket amount amounts to a no contest plea bargain offer, not the maximum penalty for the offense, not to mentiom the potential additional penalties for violating court rules.
Saving doesn't solve the problem. In fact, no re-allocation of money would provide a good standard of living with only a small young population to do all the work while a large old population consumes.
I'll be a counterpoint to Reddit argument. I started out using the new reddit and I find it more usable than old.reddit site.

Also old.reddit has very wide text lengths which makes reading a chore compared to new one where the character limit per line is conservative.
