I sure hope they were, otherwise this is straight up libel.

The post says it went away after restarting his phone, and he hasn’t seen it since.
Yea, that code was definitely written to throw people off. ;-)
You've made it sound horrifying, but I can't find a fault with it.
What dependencies is it relying on besides the obvious Emacs 29 treesitter integration? The last time I dabbled it depended on eg. Hydra, a massive package and was quite the opposite of "unobtrusive middleware"
Tiktok was spun-off of Musical.ly, which kids cringe dance with existing tracks.

Does such behavior exists for texts? All I can recall is rage comics.
Looks really great. I wonder the application of such solution to documentation - graph as documentation for end user.
Maybe I'm too simple to notice but I don't detect any pseudo intellectualism.

He makes a point and talks about it. There doesn't appear to be an attempt to come off smarter than he is.
> The answer is actually an easy one: yes he was personally responsible for the movement he started and he was personally responsible for his organisation's deeds.

Why assume that a person who founds an organisation is responsible for what it does when they are effectively no longer in control of it? We don’t make that automatic assumption in other areas - the founder of a company is not responsible for what the new CEO does after they retire.
Well congrats. Barring any issues re: proving its your app, all users are real etc (2 big IFs!)..., then:

Are you tracking metrics? MAUs, DAUs? Anything like cohort retention (https://docs.holistics.io/docs/charts/cohort-retention)? Are you using DataDog or Amplitude?
Additionally, you should post a screenshot of downloads from the Google Play store over time. It can help people here make a decision, since they can see how viral the product is or is not.

And finally, people will want to know, how much $ are you making. Will people pay for this, and WHAT are they paying for? To be connected like a dating app?

It's cool (if the users are actually real), but I feel like it doesn't have a clearly defined way of making money yet. But then again, lots of social apps don't...
It's not 2021 any more. Intel revenue dropped significantly in 2022, meanwhile they were hiring as though the revenue growth would continue. It's a similar story to many other tech companies. But at least at Intel, leadership is taking responsibility by cutting their own pay more than their employees' pay.
The appeal to TikTok isn't just that it zeroes in on my attention, it's that the content is mixed and matched and cross-referenced with each other. So it feels like a special place where you can only find that content.

Aggregating news seems, to me at least, not special, and something Google News already does. It "magically" knows what my current interests and shows me lots of sources of that.

For everything else, I enjoy the Reddit model.

Zeroing in on someone's attention for long form content that looks legitimate also scares me as that's how conspiracy theories spread.
Poorly written blogspam that doesn't even spell Paul Buchheit's name correctly.

This seems to be taking this Twitter thread https://twitter.com/paultoo/status/1598434161332981760 and putting a spin on it that doesn't really align with what was actually said.
Thus herein in response thereto I should therefore applaud the application thereof the simplicity thereat in the writings therefrom Paulus journal which to all of us appertains and inspires to use the same.
He used it as a metaphoric word picture and for me at least, it helped me picture in my mind what he was trying to convey in a concise and poetic way.

> dedicates an entire paragraph

You're technically right, but this entire paragraph consists of two sentences.
Google is still the king 'finder'. That's what it will probably continue doing well.

Chat GPT is a bit more like Siri, and I think whatever it becomes, it will be a new kind of space. And it won't quite be 'search'.

That said, there will be incredible overlap.

If you're looking for a compendium of recipes for something -> Google, if you want a random but quality recipe for whatever right now -> ChatGPT. If your looking for that specific web site / app that had the recipes -> Google. At least for now.

Though if you're looking for that recipe you were using last month, for gosh sakes Google, why haven't you or Apple or MS sorted that out? How do we still not have great localized search? It's 2023, it's not an algorithm problem that's a lack of product vision problem.
You're right, there is a lot to admire!

It seems a key issue is that he often speaks in terms of what others should or should not do, rather than inviting others to see what has worked for him. Objectivity versus subjectivity. What makes it less palatable is that it appears carefully selected wording is used to (thinly) veil it to sound like something it isn't.

Ultimately it means the writing can come across as very self-indulgent. It does not often strike me as coming from a place of feeling genuine, authentic passion about sharing with other humans.
Feature request: Index arbitrary content/history across browsers and allow it to be re-opened (my main use case for your pseudo-competitor Rewind.ai).

Yesterday I asked ChatGPT for a simple algo to process malformed tab separated value files. It gave me a non working version of my function then after I got it right I sent it and ChatGPT recognized that I had the indices right to solve my initial answer. After that I tried an seo browser extension that provide templates to prompt ChatGPT. The results were unusable. You give a 'competitor url' and get an off topic article. It was thinking that Flowcode (A Qr code platform) is a flow based programming tool. Writing a full article based on interpretation of a single word is like reading future in tea leaves. And sometimes it give good answers. Exactly the kind of events to hook you into it.
This is such a fantastic solution I have always wanted. Thank You. It would be nice if UI could display how many bytes etc. are flowing from each apps etc..., including ip address etc..

We’re just sliding down the hype curve into the trough of disillusionment. Perfectly normal.

Let me ask you something.

Apple is now year 2 of throwing down the M1/M2 and the shock waves it created. AMD and Intel have to respond with an ARM chip. They just have to. Apple started it, so Qualcomm is going to do it, why wouldn't Samsung do it?

Intel has to play talent defense here. At a minimum, these companies are going to need deep x86 people that know how to do fast dynamic compiling transcoding like Apple did. Where can you get those? How about disgruntled Intel workers that got their pay cut?

I wonder if there's any good way to avoid the vetocracy-like effect then, where a small number of users who don't like a post can effectively bury it even if a much larger number of users do like it.
I think that is very good advice, but I would go even further: Try to make your ideas as simple as possible! Often we fall in love with or get used to ideas that are more complicated than they have to be. Simpler ideas often result in better and more beautiful designs. And simpler ideas can be expressed using simpler words.
I once got a part time job as an overnight engineer for a collection of faith based radio stations. Wild stuff. 5 FM stations. One of them, the latin station was the largest FM station in the market. 3 AM stations. Two rebroadcast the FM and one was an AM station to itself.

I know a bit about radio, but one of the most surprising things to me was why they had to have me there and paid me so little. I would be the ONLY person in the building overnight and on holidays. Sure I was there to "engineer" a couple shows that were put on by weirdos who paid to have a show on the late night air that broadcast to shut ins and prisoners. But the real reason was AM radio. The sun sets at a different time, every day. The FCC requires a person to be at the helm at sunset to manually lower the power of the AM stations and write in the log book that they did that. If you don't lower the AM power at sunset, your signal will bounce around the world over and over echoing and causing all sorts of interference.

Terrestrial radio as it is controlled and broadcast might be "dead" but EM waves are not a product. They are real estate. No one can actually stop you from sending some electrons around in a circle in a little box other than social norms. I think about this constantly, still. Go take a look at CrowdSupply[0] and the products that are shipping now that stick together a bunch of SDR chips to some high throughput and think about what you can do with that and some consumer GPUs. I think in the next couple years the way we use radio is going to change in ways that will really surprise us. There is definitely a meta resonance radio space that our current systems (as far as I'm aware) are not operating in and it's weird and exciting.

Also, Jeff is a freaking treasure and is doing some of the best tech communication out there. I'm so happy that he's back from his procedure and releasing new stuff. I should buy some of his merch or something. We all should.

Yes, also interested to hear alternatives to Stripe Connect in particular, as someone looking to make a marketplace type product.
HN hasn't respected my line breaks.
I can spend a divided. Especially if I have to take a mandatory distribution. You have to sell (at the right time) to get profit from a buyback
Yeah! Go you!
There's so many great lessons in this game -- arithmetic, probability, decision making, managing competing desires, risk and ROI (gotta bet some to get something back, and ultimately you might not get it back).
支払手数料 is “fees paid” rather than “payment fees” - compare 支払利息 and 支払報酬. I’ve never noticed the ambiguity but your confusion is natural.

I agree that it’s very strange that professional services fall under 手数料 instead of 報酬, but taxes are weird in every language.
For fun, I asked ChatGPT to write code documentation for a small sample class (C# xml docs in this case). It did an incredibly good job at this. I don't really think this type of documentation will be necessary in the future as it can easily be inferred by AI. I think that extends to code comments as well. Perhaps it is too early for such guidance but I suspect over time the pendulum will swing to not documenting / commenting any code which can be inferred from the code itself (even if the code would require considerable concentration to understand).

Of course, it is impossible to infer from the code why something was done so this will always be needed.

Code can lie too. Example: poor naming of classes, functions and variables. A name can tell you it's doing one thing but it can be doing something different.
Probably works out fine for investors who have retired from their professional career.
Gosh, just spent 40min playing Red Remover, and that was a lot of fun! Congrats to your son, keep up the great work!
And why should an individual not be able to build whatever they want (including apartments) on land they own? Why should local decisions override individual freedom?
You're correct. Packages in universe were never marked as supported, and never got any updates. The LTS definition has always been "main"+"restricted".
I might be showing my age or bias, but that domain fires red-flags in my brain. Like freedownloadmanager.com kind of naming (ironically, FDM was a really good program back in the day).
Interesting take, considering recent news that Google is already testing a competing product https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34605311
ScrapPY is a Python utility for scraping manuals, documents, and other sensitive PDFs to generate wordlists that can be utilized by offensive security tools to perform brute force, forced browsing, and dictionary attacks against targets. The tool dives deep to discover keywords and phrases leading to potential passwords or hidden directories.
Regardless of whether or not its his personal website, my point still stands, although reading my previous post I think I should be more specific. There are quite a lot of big-name programmers that gain large amounts of ego from their work to the point that they feel confident to speak on matters they're not terribly educated to the point that they're fantastically incorrect, and confidently so.

>Can we scrutinize all your comments for subject matter expertise?

Absolutely.
The comments here seem to think this is hype.

But I wonder... instead of searching for "window blinds", you said "I'd like to buy some window blinds that work in my bedroom. I like the room to be completely dark when I sleep, but open up automatically at sunrise. I would also like them to be insulated to keep my room temperature comfortable."

What if the search benefited the customers and fought SEO and fake reviews?

also, the article says this: "Mountain View’s CEO Sundar Pichai is claimed to have declared a “code red” and instructed Larry Page and Sergey Brin to speed up Google’s AI projects in response to the chatbot’s popularity and climb"
Ironically, on mobile, the entire “above the fold” screen for this website is Google ads, which aren’t at risk of a LLM.

ChatGPT won’t replace all search use cases, like where you’re actually targeting a link, not searching for an answer, eg when you’re searching for a particular restaurants menu.

For years Google has been slowly pulling data off websites to present on the search results page, to A LOT of hand-wringing about depriving the end page of a click-through. ChatGPT will give Google a perfect excuse to dramatically ramp up that practice (and incorporate more AI into the process). This is how they’ll avoid cannibalizing their own product with search.

Also, ChatGPT probably can’t ever match googles per-query cost simply due to the price of GPUs.
As an aside, it is quite curious that we choose to say jobs at places like restaurants and theatres cannot be done remotely. Those are the kinds of jobs that are remote (faraway, distant)!
What about the J-20?
As far as the Warn act goes, notice of impending layoff and staying technically as an employee for 60 days is the equivalent of a "penalty" of two months wages. What twitter did there is normal business practice. You raise a point about severance. I think you are right that it is not technically "severance" pay, but it is alternative. I would be willing to bet that either "severance" is either defined very carefully in any employee contract or it's not a guarantee, but merely semantics.

Either way the employees got their Warn act, they got their two months salary, what does it matter?

You raise an interesting technicality - they are still "employees". But I disagree about CA - I believe that basically ALL non-competes are unenforceable in CA. And this is a theoretical concern anyhow - there's no way twitter is binding the employees they just let go or holding them to this or going after them so there is no cause of action unless they did.

https://www.callahan-law.com/are-non-competes-enforceable-in...
https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bont...

What about the workers outside CA? Are you saying it would have been any different if they laid the worker off immediately and payed two months of severance vs. paying two months salary and then laying them off without severance? It's hard to see what the difference is other than semantics.

What they promised was never 2 months notices and then two months severance. It's not magically 4 months. So seems mostly semantics at that point. If people that got laid off got 2 months salary, what's the beef about what it's called?

Yes - it could have be done more compassionately. But I don't think there's a actionable lawsuit here.
Any topic where being an expert is not mere memorization or imitation without comprehension, and discovering new facts is not just relentlessly churning through a rule set and producing what was already self-evident.

I don't disagree whether computers are good at computation. That's what they're for. I disagree that AI can replace experts because expertise is a moving target.

Where AI approximates a response given at some point in time or within a range of time written by a crowd of people who are not necessarily experts, experts must inevitably contradict themselves on something and update their theories. AI as currently implemented will always lag behind human experts.

In other words, do you seriously believe that an AI trained on scientific publications from the middle ages would eventually rediscover what we know now and beyond? I think it would be stuck forever hallucinating recipes to turn lead into gold.

The same thing happened to me, but I was fortunate enough to catch it in time for them to restore it. Very disappointing because I was paying Heroku over $100/month for various things and didn’t realize an actively used project was on a free tier.

The Insane Engineering of the F-35B
I enjoy Paul Graham essays, because even if I don't always agree with the conclusions that he has drawn, the observations made are often thought provoking and insightful. I don't personally understand the anti-intellectualism and complaints that his essays often provoke in the comment sections of this website.

For example, in this essay I agreed with the main thrust and laughed at the irony of his Italian food example (which is certainly not a universal experience). Simple writing is good. Often. That's it right? There are contexts where we should strive to write more simply, and there are contexts in which we should encourage others to write simply. Does it make sense to qualify these contexts in his essay, or would the essay be any better for it? It would certainly be longer. More accurate perhaps, but better? Surely it would not be any more thought provoking to try and list all of the contexts under which a "write simply" rule ought to apply.

If a reader interprets any argument to follow a general rule such as this as literal an absolutist they're doing both the author and themselves a disservice.

Personally, I like to use a long word where a short word will do because it's fun. But when I write for the broadest audience it's better to follow this advice.
Exactly. These people dont want to actually pay the costs to keep things as they are because really it's about property prices.
I've been thinking about writing and about how people can learn to write well in a time of non-writing.

I have a service to use AI together with expertise in guiding beginner authors, writers for whom English is not the primary language, and for experienced casual writers. There are many heuristics that can be shown to writers to make the message clear, more impactful, in essay writing, short fiction, poetry, etc.
If anyone's willing to beta test the service, contact me on reddit /u/goldfeld.
>Purely algorithmic feeds work for TikTok because people want to shut their brains off when they use the app. It's like a drink after work. Copy-pasting that logic to longform text misses the differences in the mediums, and how people interact with them.

Twitter seems to get users just fine (before the musking at least).

Hell, people come to "brainless fun" subreddits just fine too
VHF (FM radio in the US is in the VHF band) propagation can definitely change at different times of day.

One of my favorite activities in the summer is to go get lost in the Cascades, and when the sun goes down, settle in to a hammock with a little multi-band radio to see what I can pick up. As the evening wears on, I can typically start to receive FM radio stations in Canada several hundred kilometers away. Once the sun has risen again, I can no longer tune those stations no matter how much I fiddle with antenna orientation. NOAA weather bands also become easier to tune clearly at night.

As to why VHF frequencies seem to propagate better at night, I could only speculate, but they do seem to—at least on occasion.
not really. the US cares a lot more about Taiwan if they are making the chips for the US. a sizable part of Taiwan's national defense strategy is to have a benevolent monopoly on cutting edge chip production so their allies think it's worth it to fight a war with China if necessary.
Maybe it would but they will try to monetize chatGPT is such a way it will kill the utility.
My understanding is that dogfighting shouldn’t be a thing with the F-35. It’s not like in Top Gun where the pilot needs to align the plane with its target to shoot it down. The F-35 pilot just needs to point their head towards the enemy to lock on. That means they can shoot down someone that’s behind them. No acrobatics needed.

The F-35 comes with a bunch of other technology that make it truly formidable. The cost has also come down substantially, so it’s probably the cheapest option out there as well.
My theory is the dynamics I mentioned above. Investors waiting for it to boom so they can cash in, however investors allow decay so values never rise.

Meanwhile be very careful buying anything in Brighton within the 1:50 year floodzone which is a huge percentage of the homes (And beware in much of Christchurch). You think your odds are okay, but sea level rise means the risk increases over 20 years, and the sum of the risk ends up very freaking high over decades.

If there is flooding, it will be like the earthquake. Prices will drop drastically within whole suburbs, houses will become uninsurable, and as-is prices will occur. Some suburbs will become very undesirable, which will have severe negative value. If you have a mortgage, you can lose all your money due to gearing.

Meanwhile over time insurance premiums are going sky-high - mine went up 33% last year and I’m on a higher part!

Don’t buy in floodzone areas.

I am going to buy a bare property on the hills to hedge my potential losses since I can’t insure against sea level rise. If there is sea level rise, my property will decrease in value, but hopefully that is offset by an increase in value of a hillside property.

Cheers
Foundryside had a lot of that in it.
ChatGPT gets its knowledge from somewhere. How would it not be suspect to manipulation? There isn’t one objectively superior set of blinds.
