I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This is intended for doing text transforms, but putting an API call instead seems to work fine. I highlight some text, usually just an open ended "prompt" I typed in the IDE, or Notes app, or an email body, hit the hotkey, and ~1s later it adds the answer underneath. This works...surprisingly well. It feels almost native to the OS. And it's cheaper than $20/month, assuming you aren't feeding it massive documents worth of text or expecting paragraphs in response. I've been averaging like 2-10c a day, depending on use.

Here is the javascript if anyone wants to do something similar. I don't know JS really, so I'm sure it could be improved. But it seems to work fine. You can add your own hard coded prompt if you want even.

async (clipboardContentString) => {
try {
const response = await fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/completions", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR API KEY HERE"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
model: "text-davinci-003",
prompt: `${clipboardContentString}.`,
temperature: 0,
max_tokens: 256
})
});
const data = await response.json();
const text = data.choices[0].text;
return `${clipboardContentString} ${text}`;
} catch (error) {
return "Error"
}
}
>> Due to her earlier work, she's at a place to reflect and say "I am at level X, I can dial it back" which is great. But this is a luxury of being at X level to begin with and you mainly don't get there without hard work.

This is pretty typical, especially on Hacker News. A bunch of people saying working too hard is bad who are rich primarily because they worked too hard while they were younger.

Mostly I think they don't get what they're saying. Though I suspect some of them actually say it to prevent competition.
You think Apple should bear the cost and support burdens of maintaining compatibility for two CPU architectures across their OSes, app stores and in house applications for the benefit of a few thousand Mac Pro sales?

There is simply no way this strategy makes sense at Apple's size, I'd argue, especially for a "vanity project focused on a tiny market" as you correctly put it.

Just as with 68k and PPC before it, MacOS will eventually drop x86 CPU support and it will be fine - the process of migrating the entire computer line is already almost complete.
Bottom of the link OP shared, there's a reference to a chatGPT API waiting list form:

https://share.hsforms.com/1u4goaXwDRKC9-x9IvKno0A4sk30
Maybe we need to invent radioactive needles, to make them easier to find in case they get lost in haystacks.
It’s interesting that they use Google forms for the waitlist. Seems like google is (almost) their competitor?
Ah. I see what you mean now. Ignore what I said above but will leave it up for context.
I feel they are not playing their cards right. Obv ChatGPT is a huge success and more importantly, very useful. But it's clear that soon Google Search will have something similar for users and for free because they display ads. How many people are going to pay $20 for ChatGPT then even if it's slightly better? (for the web interface, not talking about the API)

I know they are still making it free for everyone, but the current free service is not that reliable and likely never be as reliable and fast as Google Search. (and by definition too; if it was reliable then no one would need to pay for it)

One more thing. I know that ChatGPT is a dialog and not just a Q&A system. Also, even when not using it as part of a dialog, people submit very long snippets of text, not something that the Google search interface is a good fit for. But I'm assuming Google are working on changing their entire search interface.
True, but I still firmly maintain that with good transfers you can get transit close enough to car levels of service so that it doesn't matter. Of course such service is a lot more expensive to run than current service - but it is still cheaper than the costs of owning a car.
Netflix and Wit Studio face pushback for AI-assisted short film
Not quite.

"assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Howard, who was co-responsible for prosecuting the case, testified that no such plea offer existed. He further testified that the only plea offer had been made before Ulbricht's indictment. The plea offer had required Ulbricht to plead guilty to charges 'carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, with a recommended United States Sentencing Guidelines range of life imprisonment'."

Don't mean to be negative but that FAQ carousel mechanism is super annoying, at least in Firefox.
People on this forum will not like this opinion but I think TikTok is the superior recipe platform.

If you already know the basics on how to cook it's great. Quick fire ingredients and methods with visuals to back it up, I can absorb an entire recipe in less than 30 seconds.

I have an account dedicated to recipes and they algorithm is pretty good and will pretty much only ever show me recipes or similar nutrition based stuff.
An easy example is insisting that trans people be allowed to play in sports based only on their identified gender. We have separation between mens' and women's teams because in many cases men have a biological advantage that would mean women did not ever win.

Insisting that an MTF woman be permitted to compete on equal footing somehow feels like offering equality to the trans person, but it does so at the expense of everyone else she competes against.

A perfect example is the MMF fighter who as a man was decidedly mediocre, but absolutely dominated when fighting as a woman. That is grossly unfair to the women she was competing against.

Trans supporters are fond of loudly, but falsely proclaiming anybody that holds this position is some kind of bigot. Except that biology is real and it is distinct from gender identification. Conflating them isn't helpful.
No it's because urine contains ammonia, and if you mix bleach and ammonia you get a highly toxic chloramine gas that can literally kill you.
> most people have the same political view about LGBTQI+ anyway

Even in the anglosphere this isn't true. Those with differing views mostly keep silent. But get them in private or anonymously (e.g. a fellow train passenger) and a wide variety of views emerge.
It's really interesting how the "guardrails" are actually just them telling the bot what not to say, and it so far seems trivial to circumvent the guardrails by talking to it like it's a simple minded cartoon character.

Seems like a simple solution would be to have another hidden bot who is just told to look at outputs and determine if it inadvertently contains information that it's not supposed to according to the guards in place....and I wonder if you could also outsmart this bot...

There are quite a few different options described in the paper. And I guess it was a long journey to find a solution which you are happy with.
Which configuration you ended up with?
The main pro is that I don't have to deal with Amazon anymore. Their storefront is riddled with landmines/scams, they've treated me poorly, and I dislike the effect they have in society and am happy to not support that.

For the sorts of things you're talking about, I just buy from local businesses (aside from PLA, which I buy directly from my favorite manufacturer).

My experience has been that I've lost nothing by avoiding Amazon. It's no more of a hassle for me. If I have a problem with an order, I get better service from the company directly than from Amazon. Etc.

It's all upside for me, and no downside.
A good take away about modern SBC landscape for hobbyists: you can get much better specced "mini" x86 PC at the cost of slightly more power consumption, but with benefits of much better OS and hardware compatibility at a similar price as an ARM SBC at this point.
It’s not an “attitude”, it’s an objective fact about how capital project go in the US right now.

I’ve got theories, but I don’t really know what the best way is to fix that. We probably need to try a bunch of things, and I’m all for that.

But drivers running red lights kill people. I’m for for the ideal, elegant solutions, and also for the imperfect incremental ones. I really don’t think worse-is-better, if that’s what you’re advocating, is appropriate.
Me and my friends started using discord early in its life. It was a joy to get away from Skype, google meet, etc. It was such an elegant solution. Sadly it has become a gigantic, bloated, buggy mess trying to do absolutely everything. I hate it. Can anyone recommend a better solution?
I was hoping for some mention of Av1 and Avif. Av1 still isn't supported by edge and safari. And avif isn't fully supported by firefox and safari iirc (animations), and unsupported by edge. To me, these represent the most important developments in web: movimg away from JPEG and more importantly away from GIF (and no, muted mp4 is not a replacement). Would have liked JPEG-XL obviously but that doesn't seem likely anymore.

We are the people who support Good Things. Therefore, anyone who opposes us is ipso facto supporting Bad Things.
Eah statement in this boils down to a variation over an appeal to nature [1], in that each argument here is basically that an AI can't do a good job because it's not human / natural. While an AI might well not do a good job now, you've provided no meaningful argument for why it can't match - or surpass - people.

An actual argument might be that it can't fully replace my own notes because my own notes can, and sometimes do, include notes about my thoughts and opinions that the AI can't possibly know without being told. But that does not negate the possible value in terms of freeing me from taking notes about what was actually said during the meeting.

With respect to being taken care of: I want to be taken care of in whichever way produces the best outcome for me. If that means care handled by an AI, then I want the AI.

Well, immigration also helps current workers by not lowering wages. Normally big business is in favour of immigration.
Most managers do all their work through meeting summaries/notes. It is usually a symptom to a larger problem given that if people just showed up to meetings that mattered to them, they would be driven to do the things needed to get done from said meeting.
I have the same question

>and challenge incorrect assumptions.

How can it challenge incorrect assumption, while the AI itself is biased and has restricted scope of vision?
Curious how much history the "Plus" version can retain? My biggest grip with the free version is having to provide context for each prompt is really annoying, and then to lose the context after undetermined time period feels like a waste of effort.

If this is able to have retention of x days, lines, words, etc. always available for future prompts this seems like a reasonable deal. If it also includes API access it seems like a steal of deal!
It is surprisingly easy (and cheap), actually. That's why the military does it all over the world. People who score too low are a liability for the military (and not only are they less useful, they tend to be more dangerous than enemy). People who score well are shepherded towards signaling, engineering, that sort of thing. Average people get to be "normal" soldiers.
Healthcare as it's commonly stated is oversold when it comes to mortality.

I've always thought that most of mortality is public health stuff that has almost nothing to do with hospitals or doctors. I'm happy to be proven wrong on this.
> Everyone else does it better, at three times the price.

Yes and this is the key part, it's the first affordable option. Also if you combine it with a PC then it's both affordable and decent quality

> plus some clever position tracking software

I don't get why everyone devalues this so much, the cost of new integration for something like this is high, once it's been done it's easier for others to follow, but how we got here wasn't just people throwing expensive hardware at the problem, it needs much more than that.

> I'm pretty sure they're being sold below cost, FB is subsidizing them, hoping to sell you more ads in VR.

They were selling it bellow cost, now they've added 100 $/£ to the price tag to put it above cost. Which was one of the last thing Carmack got them to do before he left. He didn't want the incentives to be messed up since a large free/sideloaded games ecosystem has emerged and it doesn't make sense to be at odds with that.
Even the worst recipe sites often have a "Jump to recipe" button to skip past the story and ads.

pihole works decently well to stop ads from loading on mobile, speeding up the site and avoiding janky movement of the copy as ads load in.
In the current discourse there is a debate whether the crowd is mad or wise/smart. E.g., you can see Thiel make the argument that crowds are mad, so I borrowed it from him as it is already an idea in people's heads.

"Mad" is nice, because it's "insane" or "rage," so it's really an accusation (which was my intention). But yes, I agree, it isn't the opposite of "smart."
How Apple is organized for innovation
It's not a semantic game and you couldn't come up with a more direct description. The poster you are referring to is incredibly confused if they think "everyone he has known for the past 10 years" is a more clear description than "potential witnesses"
Thanks for sharing! I agree that publicly-owned, privately-operate fiber to the home network is currently the gold standard. The Baby Bells are lobbying hard for regulatory barriers to this[0] but there are some success stories like Chattanooga [1].

I'm definitely interested to support these efforts. Wireless Wide Area Networks are not gonna cut it. If we get the baseline up to 10g, all sorts of new applications and architectures will be feasible.

As we run into the limits of Moore's law, I'm not convinced of that particular aspect. We're only a generation or two from the gap between junctions becoming an angstrom wide, which is a pretty hard physical limit on how small we can go. That doesn't prevent other advances, but eventually we'll run out of room on Moore's law. Moore's law has lasted decades so why do I think it must eventually fall? Because the underlying physics of it. The electrons need a place to go, and we can't shrink any smaller than that based on our current understanding of physics.

i'll at least try out the subscription service

i use it for tons of stuff

i'm learning some foreign languages, and like to read newspaper articles in the target language. chatgpt is great at translating, and, what is really killer, i can ask follow-up questions to explain acronyms, references to people / institutions, etc. really just absolutely amazing. can also ask it to break down compound words (quite handy for german!)

also great for programming/script questions. e.g., "write a git-push hook that errors out if a commit contains 'DO NOT PUSH'". i could figure that stuff out on my own, but it's way faster to have ChatGPT get me started. or for unity questions -- somehow chatgpt knows way more about unity than unity's own docs. :-)

finally, i just find it useful for random questions. e.g., "recommend a good, cheap kitchen knife". "i have X, Y, Z ingredients, what's something tasty i can make?"

it's honestly amazing.

i do hit the content filter quite a lot tho (w/ innocuous stuff, i'm not even trying to do anything spicy!) -- i defnly wish premium would have a mode to turn that off, or at least turn it way down.

if they persist in this, i'd assume over time some rival w/o the filter will eat their lunch. (unless such filters get legislated -- which is certainly a not-unlikely possibility.)
Good summary. The RK3588 is great in that it raised the performance bar for the ARM space, but it's still a new platform with growing pains.

If it can get good upstream kernel support and the price comes down, these could be good for all the situations where a Pi felt too slow.

If instead these continue to rely on custom kernel forks and have 3-digit pricetags, they're probably best left as a niche option.
I like Racket's way of handling them, to a degree. Each of {}, [], and () are interchangeable, and the use of [] is mostly down to convention. For example, it is often used in let bindings:

(define x
(let ([a 1]
[b 2])
(+ a b)))

By to a degree, I would actually prefer if the convention was enforced.
It’s going to have to be a “labor of love”. Once the model is out there it will be shared and available, but this only works if there’s no company to litigate against and no chance of making money off the thing (other than possibly going the crypto route).
Yeah, the act of physically writing (as in not typing) words on paper helps me to remember things better and distill the important parts in my head. Just reading someone else's notes is not as useful for me.
There's a whole section about it in the linked post…

> This Orange Pi 5 uses the same Rockchip RK3588—well, almost the same. The Orange Pi has the RK3588S, which has a little less bandwidth than the chip in the Rock 5. It has a lone M.2 slot on the bottom running at PCIe Gen 2 speeds, which means this SSD only gets about 400 MB/sec—just as slow as on a Pi. The Orange Pi 5 also only has 1 Gbps Ethernet, and not even a full 40-pin GPIO header, but it does have a full size microSD card slot, so that's an upgrade! But the Orange Pi 5 is a lot less expensive. You can get the same CPU and GPU performance, at least—and in my case it actually benchmarked a tiny bit faster—for half the price!
Why is it exactly economical for China, but not Disney? They already have the video. They can do it at any time. They have night vision and lots of other tech so I doubt expenses will stop them.
"Deep red" leds. They are used to grow cannabis indoor, very easy to find.

SVG: Draw rectangles and triangles. If you don't have a script tag in it, totally declarative.

You don't draw line by line. You describe what you want and have the engine work it out. Just because that description can be complex such as a <path> definition doesn't detract from this point.

Kinda like SQL. Describe the set of data you want from other sets of data and have the engine work it out. It's set theory. In math, sets can have conditions, can be combined, can be filtered, and all without a single function or loop in sight. Ergo declarative, not functional or imperative.

SQL is a DSL for set theory with some extensions tacked on. You can use functions with SQL, but its core is perfectly adequate without them.

This is patently absurd. I'm neither trans nor religious but hypothetically I'd much rather announce that I joined a religion anywhere in the US than announce being trans in the small town where my grandparents live today. Let alone Alabama 50 years ago.

Yes in very progressive environments you will get more support for announcing the later but that's because being in the later group is actually a challenge while religion has built up a reputation for maligning groups of people for things out of their control and for generally anti-scientific beliefs. Being part of a group that largely denies evolution and climate change is obviously not going to grant you any favors in groups with an academic (especially STEM) background.
Does it have internet access? Seems like that would be necessary for a paid product...
Yeah it's interesting how their pricing model for existing APIs isn't subscription-based (https://openai.com/api/pricing/)

I wonder why they diverged here?
> By raw statistics, white men still wield most power in American society (and thus the world), and so the progressive culture that is dominant in media is the culture being written and put into vogue by people who are white men if you merely draw on the statistics.

Those would primarily be "progressive" white men though, which still gets to the in-group/out-group dynamic where they will more closely associate with a racial or sexual minority then they would to a conservative white male (a value match vs a skin color match). So the effect is the same, is it not?

Zapier has a python / JS code step (basically a AWS lambda) you can use to do something like this. Downside is that it has a timeout of 10s
