South Florida will never be underwater. The government would build massive levees around the entire state before that happens.
Completeness in the sense that you know if you are missing any messages that have already been sent. If all messages are logged on the blockchain, then you can see which ones you never received.

Verifying completeness requires a blockchain of one type or another, where new transactions/messages reference a hash of past transactions/messages in some way.
Despicable!
can anyone compare it to mapy.cz, is it better finally?
I imagine there aren't many scientists who want to enable their own line of work descending into a doping arms race like some sports can in the absence of anti-doping regulations.

I didn't feel bad and I chuckled!
Top picks:

Game development -- AI will eventually be guidable to write code, but it likely won't have "imagination" in the next decade (and I am not worried about my finances after that)

Beer making -- Similarly, AI likely won't understand taste for quite some time

Woodworking -- When everything is mass produced by automation, I suspect people will want unique, custom, hand-made things more.

Edit: Fix format, clarify statement on next decade :-)
It's a fun little meme, but it's not all that accurate. Something like half of mothers report latching or other nipple-baby interface problems in some studies [0]. What's more, suckling is a hardwired reflex, not something that's intuited, so the quote also misunderstands the nature of intuition.

FWIW I also used to use that quote, until I had a child and saw firsthand [well, second-hand as it was my wife doing the work] how much effort breastfeeding a newborn could take; I don't really blame anyone for quoting it (it's pithy after all).

Surprisingly good further discussion on the UX SE [1].

No, it isn't. You're talking about a player-controlled object. But you're describing "leading the shot," which occurs when other objects teleport, which doesn't happen with lag compensation.

People keep telling me that I should be doing food professionally, so I'd probably make delicious food and sell it at a reasonable price.
The career I’m already moving towards – technical leadership. Swap programmers with AI and the really fun part of designing and building software systems remains the same.

Honestly the work is very similar. Much of what I do these days is conveying ideas to fuzzy intelligences, getting their feedback and suggestions, iterating, and making sure the final product is coherent, does what it says, and fits the longer term vision.

Turns out you can get a lot more done by keeping 5 people on track than you can by banging code on a keyboard.
> Please, please: learn some probability via measure theory. You’ll start reading machine learning papers wondering how people ever express themselves precisely without it. The entire field seems to be predicated around writing things like x ~ p_\theta(x|z=q_\phi(x)) as if that’s somehow meaningful notation.

Hear hear! How did ML get saddled with such awful notation?
“Detect ChatGPT responses, only $249”

It’s just a new chapter in the arms race of spam techniques vs detection. Lots of money presumably made selling both sides.
Chevy Malibu starts at $25k, that's 2 or 3 classes bigger and nicer of a vehicle.
What else should they do with it? Just hold it so that they can hedge against future problems? How much do they need for a hedge? 1 year of expenses? 2 years? 5 years?

What should they do once they reach your hedge number? Just keep hoarding?

What do you do with your salary? Do you just put it in your bank account or do you invest it? If I’m Apple, do I really want to become a company with an investment arm? If I’m an Apple shareholder, do I really want Apple buying a broad market index fund and then paying corporate taxes on that and then spitting off dividends to me rather than just giving me the opportunity to invest in a broad market fund myself?
It’s showing they’re not living like men in the 50s, but I do w wonder how it compares to prior decades. The post war boom is a pretty unique environment
If ChatGPT just consumes itself will the end result of all queries just eventually recurse down to a single answer? - for example "42"
Based on the article, it looks like this is what happened:

1) Couple arrived with no bags.

2) Couple put in "lost bag" notice with Air Canada.

3) Air Canada didn't find the bag within 30 days and paid compensation (per law).

4) Couple deposited compensation.

5) The bag (along with others) in a big pile was donated to charity.

The status of the bag is iffy once compensation is paid.

IANAL, but I think its like the cases where a car is stole,
insurance pays out, and then the car is recovered. You don't own that car in that case.

>And worse, then ChatGPT will digest its own excrement, worsening its own results further

I wonder if we'll get a "dead sea effect" with AI, I've seen some stuff saying they've basically run out of high quality training data and now the training pool will get poisoned by AI generated shit. Basically garbage in, garbage out and these large language models might not be able to improve
I agree with this article, but I feel the author is only scratching the surface of all the harm ChatGPT and other generative AI systems are going to cause. We just have to look at the current state of the internet today, with things like SEO spam, misinformation, social media bots, fake reviews, and so forth. The people responsible for these are already taking advantage of generative AI and it's going to exacerbate these problems to their extremes.

OpenAI's PR likes to preach about ethical AI, but it's a total farce. There's no way that OpenAI isn't fully aware of all the harms their AI is going to cause.

I only see one of two possible ultimate outcomes. AI like OpenGPT is going to flood the internet with false or inaccurate information, that I have no doubt. The first outcome I foresee is we simply lose all trust in the vast majority of information sources. The other outcome is we're going to have to sacrifice our privacy and anonymity online in order to distinguish real information from real people and not the AI bot generated nonsense. For example, Social Media may likely require you to prove your real identity, and will only allow you to use trusted hardware devices (i.e. phone or tablet) to post things to your social media account. It'll become increasingly difficult to share information anonymously online in a way that can be trusted. Any information that can't be tied to a verifiable source (a real person) is immediately going to be deemed untrustworthy.
Could you elaborate on this? If it is full of garbage a couple examples should be very easy to find.

I completely agree that Wikipedia can have errors, but in topics that I am educated in it seems pretty decent and I can't remember the last time I came across any (comp sci for example).

The most recent example I can think of is about is an article on vulture bees, and a citation about what their honey tastes like, which turned out to be garbage and incorrect (there are no reliable sources on the qualities of honey, it's basic composition and method of production is even in dispute, when I queried journal articles on the topic).

So "garbage puffed up beyond all belief" and "full of terrible and fake citations that lead to nowhere" sounds a bit hyperbolic, tbh.

At big companies they will not change the contract for a single candidate. No way. Not unless it's a "big deal" sort of job where the executives are involved. They'll just tell you to go pound sand.

The correct course of action is to cross out the clause, put your initials next to it, then sign the document. It is the responsibility of the company to have someone review contracts for such things but they never do; they just collect all the documents, check they're signed, and file them away to be forgotten about forever (or until a lawsuit requires they be retrieved).

I've done this at several employers! I even tell the HR people what I'm doing so they can't claim they're being misled. Not once have they ever understood what I was even talking about or even cared. It's because they're HR people; not lawyers. They just "follow the script" as it were.

One woman at HR said that what I did--crossing out the "we own everything you make while you work here plus a year afterwards" clause--was a "very good idea" and just took my documents and filed them away like anyone else's. I even offered alternative language that would be fair along the lines of, "we own everything you make using company resources in your official line of work" but she wasn't interested.

A lot of HN folks make stuff and these invention clauses are completely ridiculous. If you invent a new kind of apple peeler in your garage on a weekend using your own tools it is absolutely unconscionable that your employer who pays you to do programming or management work could claim ownership of that thing. Even if the contract says as such I seriously doubt any court would enforce that unless you worked at a manufacturer of apple peelers.
Device JNEEG to convert Jetson Nano to brain-Computer interfaces
Artificial intelligence has made significant advances in recent years and this has had an impact on the field of neuroscience. As a result, different architectures have been implemented to extract features from EEG signals in real time. However, the use of such architectures requires a lot of computing power. As a result, EEG devices typically act only as transmitters of EEG data, with the actual data processing taking place in a third-party device. That's expensive and not compact. In this paper, we present a shield that allows a single-board computer, the Jetson Nano from Nvidia, to be converted into a brain-computer interface and, most importantly, the Jetson Nano's capabilities allow machine learning tools to be used directly on the data collection device. Here we present the test results of the developed device.

Unfortunately it's impossible to fully elaborate my position here in the format of HN comments but I don't think the way you're talking about is really possible. The system is broken so badly that it cannot be fixed from inside by adding more of its rules. It has to be changed entirely. Figuratively speaking it's sort of like Goedel's theorem.

Have you had an opportunity to discuss their views on privacy and the currently established political culture in the US with those in their 70s and 80s?
IMO they should still return the bag. They payment is for their trouble of having to rebuy anything during that time the bag was missing
Yes, I write those parts myself.
These discussions would be higher quality of blatant apple shills didn't write 4 paragraphs defending an obviously flawed policy that is objectively sending good hardware to the landfill.
I see chatGPT as a first iteration, and it’s glaringly obvious what works and what doesn’t. I’m hopeful future iterations (not just from openAI) will make it overall a net improvement, things like adding real sources and better handling things it doesn’t know
>Because it creates too much friction at the point of transfer.

The definition of the desired process outcome is "it is demonstrable that the asset was transferred willingly". What is your idea of "less friction at the point of transfer" that achieves that goal? Otherwise, we're back to "this is indistinguishable from theft".
Do you have any examples of successful desktop apps? Do they put them on Microsoft's or Apple's stores or they're downloaded from their own websites?
I'd recommend to check out and experiment with expo.io. In principle you can use RN also for web and android tablets. The reality will be a bit different, but I guess mostly depends on what 3p libraries and device features you need.

If I recall correctly it's also pretty straightforward to maintain parts of the code for a specific architecture, like component.ios / component.web - expo (or RN, I don't know tbh) handles the correct packaging.

Good luck, and please share out it goes.

>Light entering the holey material will refract through and partially reflect off the myriad internal interfaces between air and glass. The complex pattern of overlapping beams will reinforce or cancel one another out according to the light’s wavelength, its direction of travel through the crystal, the refractive index of the glass, and the size and arrangement of all the holes.

Perfect cancellation in all directions for a narrow band of wavelengths is like the band gap for electrons in semiconductors: that band of light cannot propagate through the crystal.

Modifying the band gap structure—for instance, by filling some holes—produces other effects, similar to what can be done by doping electronic semiconductors. Often a photonic crystal is made of an electronic semiconductor material, and so the crystal has both an electronic band gap and a photonic band gap." (PDF Page 4, Scientific American magazine article page 49)

My opinion: The article is absolutely brilliant!

Also -- it would be interesting to know if electronic band gaps and photonic band gaps are higher/lower octaves (frequencywise) of one another, and if not, their exact mathematical relationship (i.e., are they logarithmically related? What's the exact mathematical formula that relates them? Etc., etc.)
Just another reminder that if you are in any way doing business in China, you are helping the despots who made disappear Cao Zhixin and all her fellow vigil attendees, violently overthrew Tibet, broke every international agreement on Hong Kong, and are this minute militarily threatening Taiwan.

I wasn't clear. I'm talking about consciousness in general, humans, animals, octopi... I keep reading but haven't found an explanation that satisfies me. Ray Kurzweil has some interesting things to say about computers and consciousness in his "The Age of Spiritual Machines". I was skeptical about a lot of what he wrote when I read it many years ago.

Now I'm not sure it matters. If people imbue their devices with intelligence and emotions then that's what they perceive. I've since learned about Tulpas. Some people have imaginary friends that seem very real to them. People will likely move their Tulpas out of their minds and into their AI's.

I've been looking at switching to solar installation. The problem is whether or not that is a good move, long-term, is super regional (in the US, and I guess I'm assuming you're from the US). For the states that have incentives to pair with the federal incentives, business is booming. But for everywhere else, the return on your investment just isn't there, yet.

Also, installers seem to make little money, whereas sales staff make shitloads. So there's probably something to that if you really thought about it.

Source; We're having solar installed. Without federal and state incentives/tax breaks, the break-even point on the max system our rural cooperative will let us put up is around 30 years, with incentives, it's around 5.

The two are necessary but not sufficient. SF is plagued with problems which shouldn’t exist in a city this size with the revenue it has generated over the last two decades.

Sf needs to fix its transportation, high taxes and homelessness (it is not a crime to be homeless). Can’t attract workers to the city if parking costs $30 and driving over the bridges cost $7 and your public transportation is neither cheap nor reliable.

"Just know stuff" deeply resonates. Even much below the author's level, as is the case for me, technical knowledge dominates everything else by orders of magnitude. I'm still appalled at how people can manage to gather the courage to utter they don't need math.

This is a risk for sure, but Google long-ago developed trust/reputation factors for pages (e.g. PageRank). I imagine they have something much more advanced now, and are hard at work trying to figure out how to measure reputation in the LLM space.
At the same time, it hardly disincentivizes thief from laying their hands on apple devices. With that in mind I’m not sure whether this is not a worthy tradeoff.
They don't know where they are 100%. I think that's the issue. They have a warehouse of 1000s of luggage where the tags are likely torn off or missing. Are you going to allow them to search the entire warehouse? What's to prevent them from taking someone else's luggage? How are you going to ensure they only take their bag? If not, are you liable if they take someone else's bag which contain PII and do identity fraud?

When its donated the charity, there is an agreement that the charity will remove any PII or personalized stuff before selling the rest.

A garden leave clause is literally required for any noncompete contract to be enforceable in MA [1]. Hilariously, none of the FAANG companies include a garden leave clause for MA employees. NB: giving post facto garden leave isn't enough to enforce a non-compete; an actual clause needs to be in the signed noncompete contract in order for the contract to be enforceable.

My employment lawyer friend is fairly certain that if a FAANG tried to enforce a noncompete without a garden leave clause, they could be sued for triple damages, where the damages would certainly include the minimum required garden leave, and that if the enforcement attempt resulted in a job opportunity being aborted you could probably also include the full vesting schedule of your next employment contract in the damages (which, again, gets tripled).

[1] M.G.L Chapter 149 Section 24L:

(b) To be valid and enforceable, a noncompetition agreement must meet the minimum requirements of paragraphs (i) through (viii)...

(vii) The noncompetition agreement shall be supported by a garden leave clause or other mutually-agreed upon consideration between the employer and the employee, provided that such consideration is specified in the noncompetition agreement. To constitute a garden leave clause within the meaning of this section, the agreement must (i) provide for the payment, consistent with the requirements for the payment of wages under section 148 of chapter 149 of the general laws, on a pro-rata basis during the entirety of the restricted period, of at least 50 percent of the employee's highest annualized base salary paid by the employer within the 2 years preceding the employee's termination; and (ii) except in the event of a breach by the employee, not permit an employer to unilaterally discontinue or otherwise fail or refuse to make the payments; provided, however, if the restricted period has been increased beyond 12 months as a result of the employee's breach of a fiduciary duty to the employer or the employee has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, property belonging to the employer, the employer shall not be required to provide payments to the employee during the extension of the restricted period.
