Honestly, training a generative model on the patent database could be very useful for inventing and invalidating patents. I wouldn't be surprised if examiners are using it in 5+ years. Since they've got required response count and time, I wouldn't be surprised, if they started using it just to speed up their own work.
> Hamilton 68

The current Russian regime is very creative in its methods of disinformation.

This Hamilton 68 scandal reminded me of a ruse that the russians once set up to discredit the lists of their KIA soldiers in Ukraine.

They created a fake "human rights" group which at first republished data from credible open sources, but once they earned trust and publicity, they started throwing in bogus but easily identifiable names like soccer team rosters and such.

Then they publicly busted and humiliated their own fake "human rights" activists along with the other sources, exposing the fraud in the domestic media. The goal was to disredit the idea that the published information about russian losses (or bots in case of Hamilton 68) is trustworthy.

I am not saying that the parent organization of Hamilton 68 is a russian ruse but rather that the sources or some of the staff could be compromised.

It’s a fundamental problem caused by the necessity to collocate to collaborate, which is largely not true any more. Jobs will diffuse away from cities as the people who live in the city out of obligation and have no desire leave. Some stay because they like it. Regardless the density will reduce. That’s a good thing. The hollowing out of the country into the coastal cities is a flaw not a feature.

It already has in several useful, practical ways.

Experts used to evaluate your credit application. Experts would adjust depth of field in portrait photography, and bracketed exposure in HDR photography. Experts would beat you at chess.

AI now does the majority of instances of these things and many more. Not every instance, so you can say that experts have not been completely replaced, but they have been substantially replaced.

As for ‘can only interpolate a response from internet sources’, first, there’s no requirement that training data comes from the internet, and second, if the AI has learned the correct function, ‘interpolation’ is not a criticism.
I'm sorry, i'm speaking with multiple people on multiple threads here, and don't have too much time to express myself perfectly. Every language is declarative is an interpretation that can make sense in certain angle, like when you use some imperative language, you create mini libraries for yourself, and that's already steps to a declarative variation, but this does not changes the fundamental design of the language.

But this is not my angle, i say the borders drawn up by the way how you, as a programmer, approach solving a problem. My take is declarative when you define the *end result* you want to get. You certainly don't do this with SQL, because that case the your product (what you write in the query) would be the end result set, the data itself. Of course in case of HTML you don't literally draw in the rectangle in the code, but you describe the end result. This is the difference.

Other arguments you wrote is out of scope for me regarding this conversation.
Our corporate overlords IT folk have turned on conditional access in our shared tenancy and only allow domain-joined Win10 devices to access M365 resources, so our Linux users are already blacklisted from many useful things.

If this could eventually allow Linux devices secured by defender to become "blessed" and pass conditional access it would make my life a lot easier.
FWIW, I've enjoyed using Sonixd[1] as a Navidrome client: it's very polished and Spotify-esque in design (which may be a pro or a con for you).

The worse culture, I have ever seen in any company. Amazed how they are still in business. The corporate greed, the culture of nepotism, killing innovation has been dominant.
Wow. Just wow.

Now I'm REALLY glad I switched my entire infrastructure over to Debian last year.
The problem with versioning & management systems for docs is that you need the process to drive the adoption. Getting people to version, approve, and fully manage a document database is the hard part. Many companies do not even adequately document - they just send information in a Slack/Teams message and nothing is written down for later (this is why startups like Glean exist: https://www.glean.com/). There are massive companies that exist without this organization layer and just whip up Notion/365/Office docs with the expectation the documentation will get lost and become irrelevant very soon (even if a search feature existed).

The point I'm (badly) trying to make it is that my intuition tells me very few companies will actually pick up and adopt software like this. If they do, there might be many nuances in their process and they might find the versioning easier to do with simple duplicate Notion/Office/GDocs parent templates.
Interesting when I didn’t like my job of one year I worked in my skill set and moved to another. Guess I could have just stuck with that for 60 years.

It's probably going to devalue memorizing facts and concepts in the same way the internet already has, although to a further extent. This could be really exciting as everyone now has a subject matter expert on hand to ask any question they could think of.

Why would they have logs of calls/texts that weren't routed to them?
I remember writing chatbots just 5 years ago, a major challenge was how infer structured output using a neural network.

Now you just use text output to generate raw json and parse that. Crazy times.
Seems like the best response is a union drive. Why haven't Intel workers pushed for this? This is how you fight back.

> people were asked to agree or disagree with the following statement: “People shouldn’t smoke in highly populated areas where other people have to breathe in the cigarette fumes.” Then they were asked to respond to a parallel statement about driving: “People shouldn’t drive in highly populated areas where other people have to breathe in the car fumes.”

> While three-fourths of respondents agreed with the first statement (“People shouldn’t smoke...”), only 17 percent agreed with the second (“People shouldn’t drive...”).

The weasel trick they pulled here is that they know people won't assume the smoking question is about wide-open outdoor areas, but that they will assume the driving question is.

> Another statement addressed values around theft of personal property. Respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement, “If somebody leaves their belongings in the street and they get stolen, it’s their own fault for leaving them there and the police shouldn’t be expected to act,” as well as the parallel statement, “If somebody leaves their car in the street and it gets stolen, it’s their own fault for leaving it there and the police shouldn’t be expected to act.”

> Only 8 percent of people disagreed with the first statement, while 55 percent of people disagreed with the second one.

Another weasel trick: they want the reader to infer that the belongings in the first question were carelessly left unsecured, but that the car in the second question was properly secured.
>if you just get these same people to write more comments, they will also think their comments are clear when they're, in fact, not. I think anyone who is capable of writing clear comments is also equally capable of writing clear code.

Think of it more like two lines of bearing. You are far more likely to get an accurate position from two lines of bearing. If you need to understand what past self was thinking, a comment is written in a different mindset than the code. Two different lines of reasoning.

Also, I rarely think about writing code for someone else. I write for my future self. And I really want my future self to like my past self. So I strive for clean code and write detailed comments, complete with references.

Ask HN: Are ChatGPT answers getting worse for anyone else?
In the past few weeks, I've noted a decline in my desire to use ChatGPT, because it feels like the answers are slowly getting lazier and lazier. I used to be able to ask pointed questions about "how do I use X tool to perform Y job". It's crossed a threshold where if I turn around and google the same thing I'm getting the right answer. Maybe my questions are degrading in quality in some subtle way I can't detect, or maybe I'm asking the wrong questions. I can't help but wonder why it went from great to meh.
Let me soothe your fear: This isn't a novel cheating technology, it's a technology that will make humans obsolete. Neither teachers nor students are going to matter in the future. Most or all of the population is going to be enslaved for all practical purposes, either to an all-powerful super-elite, or to AI itself. Any worries about how mundane things like education are going to be impacted by petty cat-and-mouse games are going to become irrelevant, because education itself is going to be irrelevant, along with everything else that once defined our world.
Question is - is there information (on the blockchain) that can help us prevent this?

Is Google Docs good for code blocks with syntax highlighting?
The basic problem with this assumption is that people who follow it tend to get it in their heads that since C is merely "translat[ing] fairly straightforwardly to machine code", they assume they can rely on the semantics of the machine code being the semantics of their C program. That isn't true, and hasn't been for a long time [1]: compilers are only required to uphold the looser semantics of C, and they will happily apply optimizations that deviate from the semantics of a purported naive translation to machine code. The usual example brought out to explore this difference is signed integer overflow, which has nothing to do with inlining or loop unrolling.

[1] I don't know enough about the early history of C to be able to assert that it was never true, but it certainly hasn't been true since at least 1989.
Intel had record revenue in 2021 and $20 billion in profit. There is literally zero reason for cutting pay or jobs except for corporate greed.

> Intel already was undercompensating to the point of driving the talent out of their company to begin with.

Yep. Intel salaries were already on the low side. To some extent they could get away with this in the past because many of their locations were outside of silicon valley in places where there really weren't a lot of (or any) other companies where you could work at the same level. For example, say you worked at their Folsom, CA or Hillsoboro, OR locations - if you were going to change to a different company that pretty much meant you were moving. But now that a larger proportion of jobs are remote that strategy for keeping salaries low isn't going to work.
To close the loop, what this really needs is a GPT-based journalism website.
Good point; maybe this is the least effort way for C level to do something without doing hard work. We will see over next couple years how attrition works out.
You don't need to be at 100% to be better than some comments.

Mind you, no serious project is anywhere close to 100% coverage. It may have 100% unit-test coverage, but that is a far cry from 100% coverage.

And the valuable comments are the ones that describe integration interactions.
> I used to set it up without title bars. You had to know my personal shortcuts to use my desktop.

That's my setup in XFCE. Actually I just need two shortcuts: Alt-F4 and Alt-F9 to minify or close a window. And Alt to move the windows.
> constantly push listeners to download an app to 'listen anywhere.'

I remember wondering how on earth iHeartRadio managed to integrate with so many small, local radio stations. As an IT consultant it was a struggle to get a small shop to keep as much as an API up.

Turned out they simply bought up all the stations.
If you’re predicting a major decline of globalism, then betting on a domestic firm in an extremely economically important sector that is currently extremely reliant on globalism doesn’t sound that crazy.
"Economic indicators" are entirely irrelevant for that discussion. This isn't going to be a gradual change either. At some point, GPT-n is going to be available with super-human capabilities in all tasks that matter, and then it's simply over, from one day to the next. Nobody will continue paying people to do things that AI can do better, faster, and more reliably, at lower cost.
I mean... Don't yuck other people's yum?

It's fine it's not for you. It's weird to tell other people "Don't do that." People have all sorts of reasons to rig up their setups that way. Let people do what works for them.

(Besides, I never said anything about laptops. I've got a desktop wired to my wall screen. Bluetooth trackball and keyboard on my coffee table. Works well, and I don't have to put up with the bad implementations of the Netflix app I've seen my relatives with cable boxes try to limp along).
No they aren't. The JSON spec says implementation is up to the engine and de facto JSON numbers are parsed as ieee754 on just about every platform I can think of.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those who feel or have felt something similar were much more likely to reply here than others, so it will probably be heavily biased.

Nonetheless, reaching out is always a good idea. If only not to feel alone facing whatever the day’s struggle is.

Personally, I’ve just started trying wave.ai. No idea if it’s worth it yet, but I’ve heard great things from people whose opinions I usually find worthwhile. I just hope it might help with the long term.
What did you migrate your clients to?
How are comments handled with Hermes? I've been impressed again and again how useful Github is for community RFCs.

I wonder why Hermes doesn't handle files by itself instead (or in addition) of relying on Google?

Algolia search is a tough decision, because it means instant "no go" for projects with confidential data.
How did they know who was behind the ddos?
I don't know why we are treating this article as news. Everyone in the comments seems to be wondering about how much they will enforce it in the coming days.

The truth is that the article has been up since at least March last year (http://web.archive.org/web/20220321152735/https://help.netfl...)
You have to describe what your encoding is in the "format" field of your JSONschema and implement the correct semantic meaning.

Hold on to your wallets, Intel employees! The company just announced pay cuts to boost their quarterly dividend, leaving employees to bear the brunt of the impact. But don't worry, the real prize is the company culture that's toxic enough to kill creativity and innovation. Who needs those pesky innovative ideas anyway? #IntelNotSoInteligent #TimeForBetter"
I think the decisive advantage of dividends was that buybacks weren't legal until the 80s.
Or they prepare something at home
They just dumped a bunch of shows off their live-streaming platform if that gives you any hints about the health of their podcast ecosystem.
The reason to hold stock is that they return value to shareholders. Stock buy backs are functionally dividends but they are taxed more fairly. They also work better for foreign investors, and are a much cleaner and simpler mechanism than directly sending cash to shareholders.
I thought they started to go downhill fast once the marketplace vendors took off. It felt like they cut their own inventory / skus so you couldn't just filter them out and still get a broad selection. I too held them in high regard for the patent troll fighting.

I stopped using them completely around ~2012-13 after getting so many dead motherboards from Newegg and zero from other sources I was convinced shenanigans were afoot.

What stops the Americans from simply stealing (or buying) TSMC or Samsung or whatever technology with how deep their fingers are into those companies and starting up fabs as needed? Even if the world "Deglobalizes" overall does that really mean that America maintaining its influence over countries like Taiwan and Japan and South Korea is not an option if the issue is important enough? America also has AMD/Nvidia for the chip design side of the business.

Intel could be valuable to America but the problem is the damned word could and it's not essential.
Wouldn't the previous employer in the previous state still be able to sue you in their state (as your old employment contract specifies that any disputes will be resolved in the courts of that previous state)?
a cron job ought to do this. Try something like Cloud Scheduler that can automate this for you.( I am not sure what the equivalent is in AWS)
> They made a decent effort with Xscale too, to be fair.

Sure, but they threw it away about a year before the iPhone came out.

Yeah, they did try a lot of bold efforts, but they've pretty much all been mis-steps. They always had factions that were "x86 forever" and when things weren't going great those factions would come in and say "hey, why are we working on this thing that's not our x86 bread-n-butter?" and they'd either kill it or they'd only half-heartedly keep it going until the underinvestment killed it.
I have a feeling that increases in foreign investors also discouraged companies from issuing dividends. For example, I pay 0% capital gains tax but have to pay the US government (where I have never stepped foot) 30% on dividends.
Physicians' pay in the US has absolutely no meaningful impact on the cost of healthcare in general. Additionally doctors per capita in the US is nearly half what it is in a lot of European countries. Half the doctors doing the same amount of work effectively cuts their pay in half in terms of expense.
So this is a newsfeed? I think Hacker News has been doing a good job without AI. You simply need a community. I am not sure turning Facebook's news feed feature into a product is really that innovative. How many reputable news sources are there to supply their feed?

If I were building a tool to test SQL, then I'd try to load the SQL into a dataframe, then test it by mocking the tables and the output. This is a tough problem to solve. If testing is important, possibly move away from SQL and towards ORMs.
This feels like somewhere that GPT could actually prove helpful- I don't love GitHub CoPilot all that much, but a linter that could warn and suggest where comments aren't matching the code could be helpful to keep 'comment rot' at bay
Interesting. I saw it on some 2032s and figured it was for choking (similar to the Nintendo Switch carts).

Dissolving tissue sounds worse.
I think it is just a part of slightly yearning for the heady days of youth.

A few times I have come across younger people who are sort of upset that they missed the earlier years of computing. I mean I get it, but they are so lucky to be inheriting a world of computing that is much more rock solid than anything we used to have. No configuring autoexe.bat /config.sys or the joys of Win95 just stopping for... some reason.

Also if I want to relive the early days of Linux, PinePhone has got me covered. ;)
A DB Cooper inspired ending for Don would have been great, and possibly a more fitting conclusion to his story arc. The show began to decline in quality in the 5th season, and really started to come apart at the seams by season 7b.

At the time of airing there was also some speculation that upon moving to LA Megan was going to get murdered Sharon Tate style, as in one of the scenes she wore a red star shirt identical to the one Sharon wore in her Esquire photoshoot, but that also never came to pass.
Unfortunately, what they delivered was also extremely underwhelming. I expected something that would at least be a mid-range GPU, but they ended up releasing trash tier casual gamer cards. I do not believe that was their intent. AMD and Nvidia are just too competitive today.
Why would raising another round or going public cause concern?
It's funny cause A* (a slight modification of Dijkstra's algorithm) is explicitly an algorithm that operates on graphs. Applying it to a "navmesh" is actually conceptually simpler than thinking of a grid-based game world as a big uniform graph.
As an investor, I would have been fine with cutting the dividend if it meant saving the compensation of employees.

Intel has a lot going for it still, but this is a sure fire way to hurt morale and create an exodus of good talent and future leadership, especially when your key rivals are hiring.
Of course corporations will be exempt.
