> So, no, THAT side of 4chan is not counterculture. It's at best children trolling on the internet (I know, I was one), and at worst hateful bigots angry that their acceptance is diminishing in the world and lashing out.

The problem is, young idiots were ordinary young idiots in the past. They didn't do much more than maybe snatch a car for a joyride or kick off someone of IRC by sending them a direct message with "DCC SEND" or whatever that caused middleboxes to drop the connection. Annoying, sometimes causing a bit of damage, but nothing too serious.

Nowadays? They radicalize each other into a spiral that often enough ends in real-world violence - or in bullying people to suicide, which is just as bad. And unfortunately, the importance of hateful bigots is not diminishing. Not at all. The Tea Party and, following it, the Trumpets are recently risen developments - and they're still rising.

I can't answer your question directly, but the modern 737 is a 2010s aircraft forced into a 1965 design. Many, many problematic design decisions have been visited upon the low-rise airframe, and many critics of the plane think the 737s should have been retired long ago in favor of a new narrow-body aircraft. I don't think those kinds of design problems are present in the 777, which was a new design from the ground up.
Requiring Rails experience feels like a mistake. Ruby and Rails are easy to pick up for anyone who's done full-stack dev with Python or JavaScript. Most Java/C#/Go devs could as well.

I understand that you're hiring a contractor. I suppose you want someone who is going to be able to hit the ground running? Still, I'm not sure you're maximizing EV with this requirement. You're excluding many, many skilled devs who would be highly motivated to make a difference working on your team.

Learning a new language and framework, likely very similar to one or two they already know, is not considered a major hurdle in most of the private sector. Especially at this band of compensation.

Haha, exactly my thoughts (https://github.com/rikhuijzer/ata). Davinci is nicer (more succinct) than ChatGPT anyway.
I have a feeling corporations will use CharGPT first to handle support requests. You’ll have to detect whether you are talking to ChatGPT or a human.
No, just the phone. I use the call/text/data plant so little since I'm mostly on wifi anyway, so I left that out.
So the thing is, we don’t want an automated bullshit generator ?

What you're talking about is called a Transpiler and there are are several instances of them. However, they typically perform a one-to-one translation are not general enough to translate to many languages. The overall issue with this is that certain higher level abstract operations in one language (perl hashes for example) might be easily unrolled and translated to C, but the reverse is not true. Compiling works best from higher to lower levels.

I'm saying the context should consist of more than just tokens.
Collective individuals have simply no way of affecting the environment in any major way simply by collective behavior change. The only thing that will change things is positive policies that encourage good behavior through positive methods.

For example by making electric vehicles attractive Tesla did more for the environment than possibly any single company ever by causing the shift to EVs in the general populace’s psyche.

Alternatively by doing things like banning plastic straws you instead get malicious compliance and dislike for the policies. That will never change things in a positive direction in the long term.

Thanks for mentioning Pinecone. We have several resources that might be helpful:

1. Ebook on image search using AI: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/image-search/

2. Article on using OpenAI CLIP: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/clip/

3. Example code for an image search app: https://docs.pinecone.io/docs/image-similarity-search
Why would they do that? That seems directly counter to any objective of AI safety alignment, which is easily the most important problem we need to solve before we start giving these things more capabilities.
Do they? The LLM they released was much worse than GPT-3.
If browsers could let you put something in the document meta or whatever that would turn off all element styling it would be a less annoying lift to use more semantic elements. You can use resets but they’re just okay and still don’t get you to “looks exactly the same in all browsers.”

> At compile time Python doesnt tell you wether a program is correct.

This is a general limitation of type systems, IIUC. If you want a type system to guarantee 100% program correctness, I think it can't handle an arbitrary Turing-complete program.

Disclaimer: I'm not sure I really understand this topic, so take this with a grain of salt.
This is a result of the valve construction - you have a cold water pipe and a hot water pipe coming in, and the knob/lever is connected directly to a single valve that controls volumetrically how much the flows mix. This arrangement is both cheap to manufacture and easy to install and repair.

Adding proportional control isn't too hard. Certainly an easy option would be actuating the valve electronically and just using an encoder in the knob to control it digitally. There are a lot of advantages to this, such as being able to automatically comp for actual water temperatures and customizing settings for personal preference, but it's understandable that people might feel uneasy about a cheap electronic device in close proximity to the water they are in. I'd point out that this hasn't stopped us from putting things like lights in our showers which by necessity draw much more power, but some may still be concerned. More likely it is the lack of experience with electronics that valve manufacturers and plumbers have that make them hesitant to change.

For a mechanical solution, you could transmit the torque via a gearbox instead of a direct shaft. Switch gears to get higher or lower resolution control. You can even have a single set of gears with variable diameter sections to have higher precision in a fixed subsection of the range. Unfortunately this would not allow for easy adjustment for an individual installation, nonetheless different people using the same shower. The increase in manufacturing cost and installation complexity would probably not be huge, but in such a high competition commodity market it would be noticeable.

But solving the real issue, a lack of fine control in the important range, is actually much easier to solve. Just make the handle on the knob longer/larger diameter. Especially if you just want to modify an existing installation, attaching an 18 inch handle onto the existing knob is something just about anyone could do in a few minutes. For precise control, grip it on the outside, for fast large changes, choke up on it. For the OEM, a design with a long handle is pennies more expensive to produce at scale, easily justified for even a very small competitive advantage. Maybe some people really like the aesthetics of a small handle, but I've never once heard someone complain a shower handle was too big. I still think the electronic controller option is better, as you can deal with other shower temperature control problems like the long heat up times of the pipes and the variable ideal water temperature at different points in the shower, but the perfect can be the enemy of the good enough. Frankly it's just weird that I can't seem to find a shower handle longer than about 6 inches available for sale right now in a quick google search.

The one that constantly grinds my gears is commenters comparing how AI systems are trained to human learning as if they are the same. E.g. "How is *GPT taking in data and producing an output different than a human learning a skill and making prose/code/art?"

How does this concretely translate into a marginal $30bn/year in revenue?

Inverting the question, who would collectively pay $30bn/year to buy "AI/ML from Meta", assuming you're talking about a new product offering.
The lesson is you want to own the platform. Because then you get to brand the META/GOOG ad opt-in "tracking" and yours "enhanced digital experience".

Ask HN: Taboo meats and lab grown products
It seems some animal meats are considered illegal/taboo to eat such as horse or dog (in the US - no opinions/judgements on existing norms worldwide). Recently came across an article about the moral dilemma about a vegetarian trying out "cultivated" or lab grown meats - harvested from an living animal's cells.

Does anyone think this may ever be used for "non-conventional" meat animals? Just kind of a moral thought experiment which may be relevant for the HN crowd.

For example - it's commonly stated that tortoise meat is "incredibly good", would there be a potential niche market for lab grown tortoise meat?

This is a somewhat weird topic and I don't personally eat meat nor feel the need to try out "non-conventional" rarities - just a general thought. My aversion to meat is that it just kind of grosses me out, not just the "processing" but also the smells, raw meat texture, bad quality products, etc. Do not expect lab grown products to change this for me personally.

The problem with a lot of academics is that they think everything has to be perfect. That’s just not how the real world works. People have seen that it can be useful and that’s all it is for now it’s up to humans to decide whether it provides value or not. And yes, it will generate bullshit from time to time but like anything it’ll get better. I remember when they used to say the Internet wasn’t very useful too, look how that turned out.

They haven't launched much of anything - incremental updates are well and good, but the Quest Pro software page is unchanged from when it launched. The top selling software page is the same stuff it's been for years, largely the same as the Steam VR page since the launch of the Vive. Their biggest software release in 2022 was "Among Us VR." Richie's Plank Experience, an app from 2017 where you walk on a board, is still in the top sellers. To me these are not signs of a healthy ecosystem.

Here's my form letter:

Dear _,

I am writing regarding [describe problem].

The appropriate resolution to this issue is [describe solution].

[Usually the solution is cash; if it is cash:] You may credit this to the form of payment you have on file, or by sending me a check at [address].

If you have any questions, you may call me at [phone number] at [time when I'm always free on a weekday during working hours in all us timezones].

I will contact my AG's office if I do not hear back from you in 30 days.

Thanks,

Mail it.

All state AG offices have a form for consumer complaints on their website. Usually it's very easy to find. Don't overthink it. Mention the letter in your AG complaint, include a copy and the date that you sent it. They will contact the business and start a resolution process. Usually you'll hear back in a week or so.
I could not agree more. I’m fairly language agnostic but typed Python with pydantic is a joy to work with.
Great perspective here, thanks!
I've thought deeply about the problem and I think the solution is fairly simple; account for the cost. Businesses are simple and will react in kind. Either shift the burden of proof - aka, force incorrect billings to face steep penalties or charge for the time it takes to resolve problems.

Technically, every minute I'm on hold is a benefit to the corporation. I'm not wasting their resources. Imagine if you were paid, something like minimum wage, to wait on hold. Suddenly there's a real incentive to quickly resolve problems.

Turn implicit problems into explicit ones and you'll be amazed at how quickly the explicit problems disappear.
No programming language tells you if a program is correct at compile time. Type errors aren't a very common type of bug either.

> do HN readers just think a human isn't such a complex entity

I'm someone who has made these kind of comments before. It may help you to place my such comments into the context that I am not someone who works in AI, but I am someone who studied philosophy and has both studied scientific literature on and thought deeply about the nature of the mind.

While we're not yet close to understanding the mind in entirety, something I was struck by as I read about the parts of the mind we do understand is just how many human capabilities do seem to be explainable on a physical neural network (as in an actual network of physical neurons, not the AI thing) basis without requiring any notion of conciousness or uniquely human (or even animal) capability.

My view is not that AIs are currently anywhere close to the capabilities of humans at the moment. But:

- I am somewhat agnostic on the question of whether they could match them in future. And I think other people should be too. We're not really in a position to know this yet.

- I think a lot of the limitation of AIs are limitations in IO capabilities: AIs can typically only consume text or images, and they can't typically influence the world themselves at all (one of the things that has come out of research into (human) perception is that it's generally very much an active process - activities that might naively seem passive like vision actually involve tight feedback loops and actively interacting with the world).

- To me the way modern "deep learning" models work does seem like computers genuinely learning from experience. That it's possible that it differs from human learning largely in scale and complexity rather than being fundementally different (it is of course possible that it's not the case, but I don't think this is obviously the case)

I would also agree with another commenter that part of the purpose of such comments is to provoke thought and break people out of their assumptions. Many people take the idea that human cognition is fundementally different to machine cognition (or even animal cognition!) for granted. And while that may ultimately end up being the case, I think it's valuable to question that belief.

Well govt is also busy in developing more self service solutions. Anything from Airport, fast food, grocery stores, banks they are putting the work on to customers which previously provider would have done.

You picked the worst example. Musk himself was in court trying NOT to buy it for $44b and he was forced to. Yes, he immediately lost value and overpaid, by his own admission. Probably to the tune of $20 billion.
