> In a way it feels like the writer despises the UK

It's the Guardian, that is their schtick. Orwell summed up this attitude well in England Your England[1]:

> In intention, at any rate, the English intelligentsia are Europeanized. They take their cookery from Paris and their opinions from Moscow. In the general patriotism of the country they form a sort of island of dissident thought. England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a poor box.

Plus ça change.

Ask HN: Have we reached ChatGPT article saturation yet?
Have a look at the current front page. It's been a couple days at least that ChatGPT and AI articles have filled at least 1/3rd of it.

Lisp on here is cyclical, arrives like a comet, showers us with articles about it, and leaves for months at a time. It's always a lovely sight.

We have had the Erlang days, that were so bad pg had to personally intervene.

Then there was the Bitcoin phase, and that also required a divine hand to stop it from getting out of hand.

Now it's another AI hype era, both in Computer Science and on this site. Have we reached maximum ChatGPT hype yet? For something so technologically advanced yet accessible to anyone, there awaits us a massive pile of written word on it for the foreseeable future, and personally, I have started to tune it out.

Bill and Andy's law says software gets slower at the same rate that hardware gets faster.

Wirth's law says software gets slower more quickly than hardware gets faster.

There are other similar eponymous laws, but they're basically those two laws stated differently or with different attributions.
@BulgarianIdiot

It is a (more or less) technical term that carries a (more or less) specific meaning with regards to software design.

See:

The big confusion here is that this particular development effort is the one creating this technology, rather than diffusing it.

If somehow we could get the United Nations to agree to ban deepfake development worldwide, then surely we should enter an ethical discussion about whether we should do it or not. In a world where sophisticated actors already have access to these (and much better) tools, having an open-source GitHub repo is a good thing in my view.
It's really just syntactic sugar, so I would agree with the statement that the convention is being enforced.
That is pretty neat, any sort of art does add cultural and social utility to a degree. Thanks for the heads up, because just about every mention I’ve seen published on the topic is more or less a horror story. I wasn’t being facetious in my query. Thanks again for the input!
> I know people from college that worked a lot harder than me and spent a lot more time studying than me, and they got worse grades. I never "practiced" and aced all my exams.

I've got similar anecdotes. In high school, the way I studied for history exams was to come in to class early and listen to two of my classmates quiz each other with flashcards. In my head: "Yup, knew that one. Yup, knew that one. Oh, didn't remember that one. Hmm, didn't know that one either." My classmates got 100% on the flashcards, then got C's on the exam; I got an A.

My sophomore year of university, at the beginning of the year, there were three of us -- myself, K, and C, who got along well and sat together in lectures. C eventually got bored and stopped coming to class. The morning of the final exam, K was basically giving C a crash-course for the entire semester -- patiently explaining all the concepts and techniques that C had completely missed by not coming to class. Then they took the exam, and K got a 'C', and C got an 'A'. (So did I.)

The thing about both of these anecdotes is that in both cases, as far as I can tell, the people who got C's actually knew the material. I didn't grade any of their exams, so I don't know exactly what went wrong; but whatever's happening is more complicated than simply, "They weren't smart enough to master the material."
Then, it's going to be pretty hard to defend that the "downside-related" usage and the "upside-related" usage are anywhere near each other in terms of volume.

To be clearer: yeah, some people are probably creating deepfakes of their own, consensual GFs somewhere on the planet - and more fun to them. There are also comedians doing great things with that.

But let's not kid ourselves into the actual, massively majoritary usage: making someone else's life just a tad shittier, either for profit or out of pure meanness.

I don't know if there is academically sanctionned data about it to appease the HN-crowd, but when it comes out and says "yeah, statistically, talented comedians and kinky couples are only a fraction of the scammers and revenger-p.rn users.", don't count me suprised.
From my experience, automatically generated flashcards are often disappointing. Recently I've been experimenting with the use of GitHub copilot for accelerating cards creation and I can wholeheartedly recommend this approach, I've noticed at least 2x speed up in the process without sacrificing cards quality
I noticed the announcement in the latest update that it was supposedly better at math, but the first simple calculations I gave it were all wrong. Not sure how it was improved at all.
It's not too amazing.

Perth has a few companies that do this work for a living - as a grind job, flying contracts for an actuall million line kilometres of 256 channel radiometric mapping at anything from $7 to $15 AU per line kilometre for mineral exploration.

This has been ongoing for 50 years (see: Radiometric Map of Australia) and I'm slighlty baffled why a plane wasn't flown along the road on day one.

Realistic guesses are that all airframes were fully booked AND the national agencies wanted to shine and test their new gadget.

It's slightly complex gear to set up - but no more so than properly running the lines for a concert from pickups to to desk to foldback and main speakers, etc. If you can do one you can do the other.

Complicated is when you go and map some area in India near the Pakistan border and suddenly a surprise nuclear test happens beneath you .. which happened to one local crew .. but that's a whole other story.
It's one of the few foods that comes in its own super convenient packaging. Why wouldn't you take advantage of that?
My experience with vegans is that they're pretty pragmatic and apparently the "controversial" topics (figs, honey) are usually brought up by meat-eaters who want to paint them as hypocrites or make fun of them.
Remember back, a year, ten years or all the way back to your childhood. How do your memories look like? Are they in a clear this-happened-after-that timeline? Do the decisions you did take to take you where you are today follow a path?

Or are your memories more of a big canvas of exciting, sad, joyful moments? Little bubbles in time, starting and stopping as abrupt as a dream does? Some more vivid than others, but none of them actually following a path? Be honest to yourself.

If you are only slightly like me, then you feel yourself nodding along the second paragraph. My life following a plan? Bullshit. Yes I had - and still have - dreams and a vision. But this vision can't be layed out in an Excel spreadsheet. It shouldn't.

This is what most people get wrong about their life vision. They put up a goal, a number, or an income level in their Spreadsheet. And then - as they learned from so many gurus - work backwards from there: If I want to have 1 million income in 10 years, after one year I should be here, after 5 there, yada yada. Bullshit! Same as your past life didn't follow a clear path your future wont.

Let's even step one more step back: Should life be plannable in an Excel Spreadsheet? If you ask me: Hell no.

Yes, I often state to my friends that I would love to already know what the next steps are, when I have kids, if my current boyfriend is the "the one" and so on...but deep down I know: If I would know all of that life would be super boring.

Now parts of you are already screaming: You have to make a plan! What does this one essay know? If you don't plan, you will get nowhere.

And I partly agree with you. Having a vision for life is a great thing. Something that gets you up in the morning and also helps you to go through hard times - and those will come. But the key word here is vision. A vision is NOT planned out in a Spreadsheet, a vision has no concrete next steps, you can't check a vision of your list. A vision is bigger than that, more fulfilling and it will change throughout your life.

A vision should be as bubbly, as vivid, as much of a dream as your memories. You should be seeing it, feeling it, tasting it.

This is actually also what the word vision originates from: visio is Latin for seeing. But enough of this Latin small-boy stuff.

Plan out your vision more like a movie. If you wanna use tech references: Build your vision in iMovie instead of an Excel Spreadsheet. Make your vision as visual as possible, let your mind be free and dream away. Let go and find yourself in that little bubble that brings you joy and that you actually want to work towards. You still can plan next steps towards it, but make sure the vision comes first. Otherwise your are loosing yourself so much in concrete next steps, things to check of your list, that you miss out on life.

The goal of your vision should be creating more of those bubbly, happy, sad, exciting memories that you enjoy looking back on.

That works out if you are a freelancer. Otherwise the $20 comes out of your pocket, and the productivity gains go to your employer.
I agree that generating your own content is better for learning material. But disagree the effect is so large as to nullify any benefits of training.

If you have not drilling material on one end, and writing your own questions on the other. I think drilling gpt generated questions is probably closer to the latter than the former.
It's only a word but the very fact the article refers to Erlang as a "coding language" and not a "programming language" is enough to give it a cheap, amateurish feel from the start IMHO.

I'd just ignore it as low quality click bait if I were you.

Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS): A Fact Sheet for the Public
I mean, when your organization is killing the good people to protect the bad (See: the death of Houston Tipping) then your argument no longer works.
These days I have a policy to just suspend once the interval hits six months, so that deck size has a max cap and can eventually go to zero if adds stop for a long enough period. Long enough to bootstrap niche words and hopefully maintain them through reading.
Introduction to Stateful UTXO
I'm a programmer (SWE, etc, whatever the title de jour is) and I've never heard of TOGAF, so I'd have to say "no".
This is a project I've been involved with lately, that I think is very exciting if you're into Flutter or Dart development. We just released version 1.0 so Serverpod is (hopefully) ready for production now!
If it's staged, then it would border into animal mistreatment since the ducklings would have been removed from their environment to be used as prop.
Clinical manifestations, evaluation, and diagnosis of acute radiation exposure
Erlang was originally either implemented in Prolog or was even a library / extension for Prolog, and its pattern matching functionality is just "because it was all Prolog and the developers were using Prolog", so it isn't really fair to give Erlang any credit at all for that as it wasn't even independently designed.

Seinfeld is satire. The self-centred and extremely shallow characters are a long-running commentary on typical American sitcoms and their depiction of Christian family values. They treat romantic partners as entirely disposable, they never learn from their mistakes or demonstrate any form of personal growth whatsoever. They treat sex and taboo topics such as masturbation like a game. Heck, they even demonstrate utter disregard for human life, with several characters dying throughout the series and the main cast not giving a damn.

This is in stark contrast to so many American sitcoms which had a lot of stories around conflict, personal growth, forgiveness, and charity. Many of those shows tried to depict idealized Christian family values intermingled with the jokes. Many episodes would feature a prominent personal life lesson in the denouement.

I believe the creators of Seinfeld (Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld) established a strict rule for the writing staff: "no hugging, no learning." This no-compromises dedication to comedy to the exclusion of all else is what set Seinfeld apart from other shows.
ChatGPT: No, you can't cross-check if ChatGPT is telling the truth Here's why
The news was a bit of a beat-up and the chances of just accidentally stumbling on it out there were pretty remote to essentially nil. But what's authority to do? If some kid had found it and took it to school there'd be hell to play.

Based of its stated radiation signature it was always going to be easy to find. Right, it was a simple but nuisance task and took about as long as expected.
Well you can get around the whole memorisation problem by only using unique training samples in your dataset, same for Copilot. But yes, I do agree that in this case the user is doing the violation, not the network.
I prefer to not let assholes influence my choices. Besides, a different name would not stop the bullies from being bullies. Perhaps they would pick on someone else, but I don't see that as much better. Better to deal with the bullies directly rather than trying to work around them, even if that seems harder at first.
OpenAI and Amazon are two very different companies. Some companies are aggregators that focus on doing a bunch of things like Microsoft or Amazon. Others focus very heavily on doing one thing well like Netflix. And I think OpenAI is the latter type of company as opposed to the former.

Granted many companies start off as the first and transition to the second type of company but OpenAI is so far away from that you'll probably have a good 10-20 year run before that.
I think the idea that cryptocurrency terrifies the mainstream is a hilarious one. It certainly doesn't seem to terrify anyone on mainstream finance.

It may 'terrify' some ordinary folks and mainstream journalists, but that's more about the massive amounts of fraud and the enablement of crime than it is about it taking over in any significant way.
The UK introduced laws last year that are also on the theme of gender discrimination and righting the consequence of deprivation of rights in previous generations [0]. It was only about 5 years ago that rights afforded by matrilineal descent were brought in line with patrilineal descent.

Do gamma rays bounce back on a rock or do you need line of sight to capture the source? If it is the latter they were very lucky, effectively one small stone away from never being able to find it.
Cherrypicking is exactly what both sides do. Every extreme weather event is now pointed at as "evidence". It would be nice to have both sides heard and debated instead of the hysteria led media we get.

As others said, DevRel is a technical role. DevRel is more or less a technical marketing, but that means that you have to understand the tech and the customrs problems.

Can you elaborate on this point a bit? It seems to me that you are saying Microsoft should not be allowed to release their own version of Slack and Zoom for free. I don't see the argument for that, especially since Microsoft itself has in the past released free software that does essentially what these other tools also do, and largely inspired them (Skype, for example).
We may need some business model innovation here, like when multiplayer games all went free-to-play
I don't quite agree. Gatsby Inc have been doing a ton of work in this area, and it is really impressive. It's one of the reasons that its platform has been such a draw to larger companies with more complex data and content sourcing needs.

Theo had a pretty perceptive take on this on his stream yesterday. Worth a look.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJc9UYva46I&t=5384s

Meanwhile, with so many people talking about the acquisition as if Netlify purely acquired the Gatsby.js framework, I find it helpful to frame it like this:

Gatsby Inc is to Gatsby.js
as
Vercel is to Next.js

Netlify acquired Gatsby Inc

ChatGPT is just the beginning and a glimpse of what is to come. In its current form, it is rather generic and more of a tech demo. In the future, we will see much more specialized AI applications based on ChatGPT or similar technology, that are geared towards attractive use cases:
- software developer support (StackOverflow on steroids)
- News aggregation - the automatic newspaper editor or blog curator
- Legal support - automatic law clerk

All jobs that use natural language as a tool or resource are fair game.
This is a bad faith argument. Not all government employees have the ability to do violence directly on others in the name of the state.
In which case an aircraft gives a better wide area search frame.

Also, things that are possible are frequently unlikely - bits of metal fall from road trains all the time, the near road side is littered with bolts bits of tyre, etc. They largely don't travel far for the most part.

Ergo: flying a plane on day one of known missing object would have been faster and cheap in the long run, provided more information, and been immediate leaving less time for the chance of a pick up and move elsewhere.

Waiting several days for the ANSTO group to roll up increased the chances of movement but provided a chance for them to take the glory and road test their new toy in the field.

It's a mixed bag of possibilities, and it's found now, so <shrug>, not much to see here.
Here's a more technical/curiosity-satisfying answer to the question the title poses,

https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/... ("Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometer Surveying", 1991; 116p)

There's some really interesting case studies in chapter 9 ("Searching for Radioactive Objects"). The first one was more or less identical to the highway incident in Australia: "On 21 June 1968, a 325 mCi 60Co source was lost in transit somewhere between Salt Lake City, Utah, and Kansas City, Missouri, a distance of 1800 km." The other two were an American test ICBM that crashed in remote desert in Mexico, and a Soviet orbital nuclear reactor that crashed in Canada.
