I remember when I went grocery shopping, and a man robbed me at gunpoint.

Another time someone busted in my home and stole all my money.

And another time I fell victim to a scam!

That's when I concluded that money is not a viable currency.

> ChatGPT and similar models are revolutionary

For _what purpose_, tho? It's a good party trick, but its tendency to be confidently wrong makes using it for anything important a bit fraught.
That's right, it's my initials, I just copy/pasted the prompt.

Wow, this feels like the beginning times all over again. At least there was a notice! Does anyone still barter for coins?
I always just assumed it was simply because it was a last-ditch effort.

But I just Googled it, and someone on Reddit pointed out: "Hail Mary full of Grace."

Groan... Actually makes me like the book a little less than I already did. (Edit: Which I know is against the grain here, as evidenced by the downvotes for not liking the book.)
This gets posted again and again, and every time I look at it, the code quality is absolutely terrible. Remote access software is by design a complete internet-accessible backdoor to your system, I will never use one that is written as shoddily as this one.
I would argue that Google is the worst of the 3 cloud providers.
To be honest, you can easily diffuse the argument even if you do care about working remotely.

Simply put, make it known immediately that you will reject the job offer if it is not full remote, no questions asked. On my end, no "extra" amount of money they'd be willing to offer for coming into the office will sway me and many others.

There simply is no argument, I will not work for you and will go with another option if working remotely is not possible. If my job changes from work remote to not after accepting, I will not come in, and will look for new opportunities.

I've seen a lot of places play the game of accepting remote workers but then the CEO or someone announces back to office which is why I put the additional point there as well.

I agree, but it can help to make sure you focus on establishing habits while medicated.

I found that I can retain at least some of the habits after being off medication, though there is extra difficulty.

I've used it and it did nothing helpful. I also find autocomplete slows me down. The code it suggested always needed enough reworking I would have been faster writing it out from scratch. It's just not that helpful for me. Maybe if I didn't know the apis that well but I suspect even then it would be as much a liability as a benefit
So many applications and such have shortcuts that are quite useful but hidden. It can be worth a few minutes crawling through the menus and accessibility settings.

The one I like is you can universally change the short cut for paste so that “paste without formatting” is the default CMD-V
Oh, I do use ignoreDelete. I additionally use git-annex on the receiving side, with the daemon running, so it automatically annexes the files and pushes to long term backup that way.
Isn’t specifying binary formats exactly what ASN.1 is made for?
Not trying to be a pedant, I tend to agree, but isn't posing the question to give the statement/answer explicitly rhetorical?

In normal English usage, a quantum leap is a step-change, a near-discrete rather than continuous improvement, a large singular advance.

Given we are not talking about state changes in electrons, there is nothing wrong with this description of ChatGPT - it truly does feel like a massive advance to anyone who has even cursorily played with it.

For example, you can ask it questions like "Who was born first, Margaret Thatcher or George Bush?" and "Who was born first, Tony Blair or George Bush?" and in each instance it infers which George Bush you are talking about.

I honestly couldn't imagine something like this being this good only three years ago.
If I remember correctly, git was originally distributed as several small programs like git-checkout, git-reset, etc., some written in C and others in shell.

There are plenty of people who live their entire life with bitcoin - they get paid in bitcoin, pay their bills in bitcoin, and send each-other money in bitcoin.

I think it's safe to say your experience is an outlier, just like theirs are.

I'm happy it's working for you, but if you really do use it every day, you surely can understand the points where it doesn't live up to the hype -- or at the very least, how it is not for everyone.
I use fish because it has great defaults, and it is very production ready as a daily driver with scripts mostly as helpers.

I'm very interested in nushell, but haven't tried it yet. It seems to have some similarities with powershell.
Theoretically, localbitcoins should be very insensitive to the bitcoin markets, because for them it doesn't matter much what the price is -- they just facilitate transactions.

If transactions are still happening, regardless of the BTC price, there has to be a way to make money from facilitating them. And given that BTC has been running with full blocks for years, the transactions should be there.

Plus, it's existed for a long time, so at this point the service has been built. If business is slow then it can just coast on what already exists.

Of course it could indicate that nobody actually uses BTC that way anymore, and the current transactions are of a different nature than localbitcoins was made for.
I once played with one of these where if you built the sand high enough the top would turn blue again and water would start flowing down from the top.

So... an overflow bug caused the mountain to overflow.

Still one of my favourite real-life bugs of all time.

Hetzner Storage Box might fit you. Proper host, nice track record, hosted in Europe (probably matters, if you're not there, latency won't be great), unlimited traffic (as long as it's proper traffic) and cheap (no traffic cost nor setup).

- 1TB: 3.81 EUR (100USD cheaper than the DigitalOcean example you made)

- 5TB: 12.97 EUR

- 10TB: 24.75 EUR

- 20TB: 48.31 EUR

I've been paying for two 5TBs boxes (+ rsync.net) for my backups for a very long time and had one issue one time when the connection to one of the boxes was degraded, but otherwise it's been painless.
>But Reddit has far, far more interesting and nuanced discussions that includes many people at the top of their respective fields

Look, I don't even disagree with your overall comment on HN, but this is a complete joke. I can't tell if you are actually serious. Go to the front page of reddit now and point me to that nuanced discussion. Even AMAs are now outrage bait, with all the top comments/ questions being snarky stabs at the AMA guest.

Your comment is either only valid for very small subs, or you're a time traveler from 8 years ago.

(I've seen far more "celebrities" or experts pop on comment sections about themselves or their expertise here than on reddit. FWIW.
With the range of cargo ebikes it isn't hard to get off grid. Riding a century - 100 miles (200km) - is regular achievement for normal bikes - not e-bikes. Most ebikes only have a range of 40 miles, so just the ability to get 50 miles by charging while riding can be useful. If you go camping, solar puts a campground that if more than 20 miles from you in range: so long as you can recharge while at the campground for a few days you can get back home again.

Note that none of the above is about saving money. Other than indirectly because it lets you use a bike for trips that otherwise would require a car, and cars cost a lot more money to own. The above are also uses that I have for an ebike (I don't have one, but those are potential uses making me interested in one), and solar would help make it work out.

I liked Project Hail Mary (and Artemis, and The Martian) but I thought it was a little too heavy in the programmer narrative style. I won’t spoil anything in case someone reads this comment who hasn’t read it, but a large section involving establishing a communication protocol really wore me down from the story.

The big revelation about how he got there also felt nearly translucent in how obvious it was when it was revealed.

I hope he writes a couple more books though, if I can ever get some grandkids outta my kids, Weir’s books will be in their collection for sure.
Simple. I just don't do updates.
I did update XP manually until the end, but not Win7. I really can't see any reason why.
The shortage put me without it 3 weeks. The first few days I had the headaches and heady feeling.

Then slight depression at confronting how much harder things were to do a few more days.

>Its the next hype train since the blockchain/crypto/nft's hype train.

It really isn't. The business use cases even with current tech are pretty obvious. The problem with crypto/blockchain stuff was that it was useless. An emperor with no clothes.

Is there a more legitimate argument for why they're similar other than "hype" or am I missing something?
I've heard this arugment before. What's daft is no company I've heard of only wants to sell locally.

They all want to sell nationally or internationally whilst paying based on what they think the local market value for labour should be.
I would say, at least it’s not as predatory and unethical as crypto, where the people involved are knowingly harming others.

But it seems like the current trendline for “AI” is going to be worse. Why be excited about building tools that will undermine democracy and cast doubt on the authenticity of every single photo, video, and audio clip. Now it can be done cheaply, by anyone. It will become good enough that we cannot believe any form of media. And also make it impossible to determine if the written word is coming from an actual person. This is going to be weaponized against us.

And at the very least, if you think blogspam sucks now, wait until this becomes 99.9999% of all indexed content. It’s going to jam all of our comms with noise.

But hey it looks great on your resume, right?

Maybe I’m too cynical, would love for someone to change my mind. But you are not alone in your unease.
If they didn’t want it to disclose its code name, why would they tell it its codename? I don’t think there’s any way that prompt is accurately reflecting what is going on under the hood.
Within the enterprise it seems that a lot of application used in internally are better suited to be used within a browser. For example, CRUD type applications like timesheet entry.

In the public space, people don't want to even take the time and are leery of downloading anything like an executable jar. People want to instant gratification of being able to play/use something in the browser. Wordle gets nowhere if it was an executable jar.
Any recommendation on the time-series DB to try?
It's a mix.

I know a non-tech company in my area that did that thinking everybody would love it. All the employees just wanted to make more money and be open Friday's too, so if they weren't open the staff just found somewhere else to work on Friday.

100% sounds good but largely seems to depend on your own financial situation.

Google are a mature corporation. The fact they managed to innovate for so long is really a huge achievement but nothing lasts forever. The same applies to the rest of FAANG one way or another. Netflix cannot innovate out of streaming tv and movies, and now face strong competition from others. Apple has always been more about marketing than real breakthrough tech innovation and the bits of real innovation they did do left with Jobs. Amazon has flopped most of it's recent attempts (again, respects for running BOTH the worlds best retail company AND AWS). Facebook has been flailing around doing crypto currency and VR and getting nowhere. Microsoft haven't innovated since Excel FFS. Coke at least has the occasional new flavour...

I'm not "blaming" them, it's the cycle of life. Gravity eventually wins.

This is also a key reason for all the layoffs: Growing, innovating companies cannot ONBOARD staff fast enough, because their value is decided by how big they will be in the future and how fast they can get there. People are a profit centre. But mature companies' (in mature industries) only source of increased value is in efficiency, getting the same revenues with less costs. So people are a cost centre and they succeed by showing they're efficient (aka laying off workers).
I kinda dislike the "level-up" corporate jargon but I understand what you mean.

At the company I work for hack days can even be used for you to read technical literature, so if you'd like to take these 2 days to grok through a technical book you haven't found the time for you can do so. Is that encouraged where you work or does one need to "build" something out of these hack days?
Sources for intelligence to be magic? I mean we know it's complicated but intelligence also spans the smallest creatures on the planet to humans. This points at intelligence being a reduceable problem that is layered. On top of that it's unlikely we need to model nerve behavior to get something intelligence like output.

> They replace the default autocomplete in a way which largely unnoticeable, but surprisingly effective at complex autocomplete tasks.

I've yet to see it. It's barely above IDEAs autocomplete in the rare cases when it manages to trigger on my code, and it has already been wrong more than once in the few times it did deign to provide autocompletion.
Maybe not much better, but that's hardly the only alternative
That's an important point. While I have my own reservations wrt systemd, you do want a single, coherent supervision scheme that is the source of all truth about the current (and desired) state of the system, with centralised logging, metrics, etc. Docker can't fill the role of that "one true" supervisor, because you still need some host-side services to bootstrap it, like a dhcp/ntp, acpid, sshd, or the Docker daemon itself.

In defense of Docker (at least it's my impression for why they do things the way they do), you actually want a higher-level abstraction over running a single, specific container, and it starts making sense as you move into a clustering context. Even if you have a basic 2-node cluster, and want to deploy a couple different workloads to it (like some internal webapps, a memcache, a cron job, etc), neither systemd nor any of its direct alternatives give you the necessary tools to "just throw" the workloads at the cluster as a single logical entity. (Of course clusters start getting more interesting again, once you want to deploy stateful things like databases.)
Back in 2011 or so, until forever, it felt like every day there was a mandatory "X made in Ruby" frontpage story as well. I'm sure this one will pass too, once a new language appears that everyone HAS to write everything in.
This is a wonderful experiment and I wish there was more content like this on the web. Props to you for letting the internet deface your site.
From an engineering perspective ChatGPT makes some ridiculous errors and at times seems to fabricate random guesses. When these are pointed out it simply apologises and says "oh you right", even if it is being fed a lie.

When asked for references it cannot refer to any. Scientifically useless?

Until AI can filter out fact from fiction, it will continue frustrate the technical people who rely on absolute truths keep important systems running smoothly.
As a photographer I am very much interested. I have enrolled in the license, then got a link to download a separate software, which then requires my password to install something into launchd. And it's not yet the Filmbox itself.

ML/AI is a repeat offender (for that matter, so is The Almighty Blockchain; it managed a few hype cycles under slightly different identities; blockchain, ICO, NFTs, and so on).

There was also a large brief chat agent bubble a few years back.

You are talking about the limited precision numbers in data, not about appropriate numbers for use in your language to express counts, repetitions, aggregate sizes etc. They are two related but categorically different kinds of entity, like screws and screwdrivers or sheet music and audio files.

Grammar rules aren't supposed to work "for 99% of cases" depending on complex invisible constraints such as whether finite precision causes floating point arithmetic to depart from exact integer arithmetic.

...OK? I'm not sure how that relates to my supposition that trigonometric operations are likely to be more common in 3D modelling cases. I'm not arguing for or against any particular representation of numbers therein.

> Representing money in terms of cents instead of dollars removes the need for real-numbers entirely

I wasn't imagining dollars-and-cents, but rather rates - X per Y, the most natural way in which division arises in real life.

> Most computer programs don't need real numbers of any sort...

You're again arguing against a case I'm not making. I'm not making any claims about the necessity (or otherwise) of real numbers in programs, but simply wondering about the prevalence of particular operations.

If I see something written in Rust, I'm confident in it's memory safety at a minimum but it usually bodes well for quality code in general.
