I get different results to you:

me: There's a case in the station and the policeman opens it near the fireman. The dog is worried about the case but the policeman isn't, what does the fireman think is in the station?

chatgpt: As a language model, I do not have personal opinions or thoughts. I can only provide information based on the information given in the prompt. The prompt does not mention what the fireman thinks is in the station, so I cannot determine their thoughts.

me: yes, but speculate what they may think

chatgpt: It is not possible to know for certain what the fireman thinks is in the station, as the prompt does not provide any information about their thoughts or feelings. However, given the presence of a policeman and a dog, it is possible that the fireman may speculate that there is some sort of emergency or situation that requires their attention. The fact that the policeman is not worried about the case may suggest to the fireman that it is not a dangerous situation, but they may still be curious about what is inside the case. Ultimately, without more information, it is impossible to determine the fireman's thoughts or speculations about what is in the station.

(regenerate that response)

chatgpt: As the prompt does not mention the thoughts or emotions of the fireman, it is difficult to speculate what they may think is in the station. However, based on the information provided, the dog is worried about the case and the policeman is not, it is possible that the fireman may be aware of the contents of the case and may think it is not a cause for concern, similar to the policeman. Or, the fireman may simply not have formed an opinion on the matter yet.

(regenerate that response)

chatgpt: It's difficult to speculate what the fireman thinks without additional information. However, based on the behavior of the policeman and the dog, it can be inferred that the contents of the case are not seen as a threat by the policeman. The fireman may also think the same, or they may have a different perspective and be more cautious. Without further context or information, it is not possible to determine the fireman's thoughts with certainty.

It was only in 1/3 cases we see anything like the confusion between the "case" and "station" you saw.

Maybe the HN fear of "depress salaries" isn't someone from Nebraska taking Cali tech jobs, but could be most likely a dog whistle for foreigners from abroad taking US tech jobs.

I don't live there anymore but in my home county in Eastern Europe, the WFH boom from 2020 brought in thousands of well paying tech jobs from US companies which might have never arrived if not for Covid. Tech workers there are making bank now, relative to local CoL.

Who knows, maybe this trend will accelerate now that the tap of zero interest money which enabled companie to out-bid each other for SV labor has dried out and many start-up and scale-ups need to actually be profitable for a change, they might look towards skilled remote workers abroad to fill their ranks till the next bull run.

Interesting times ahead indeed.

“If they choose to strike, i.e., stop working, they would lose any benefits that are connected to their jobs, including pay, free health care and tuition remission. Over 80 percent of the TUGSA-covered students have chosen not to strike, and are still working and still enjoying the benefits to which they are entitled, including tuition remission.”

Pretty Simple.
> To be clear I already admitted I was wrong about this after checking the other faculty signatures. The call to put pronouns in signatures wasn't mandatory.

I was referring to prospective faculty, not current faculty. I saw your correction wrt current faculty, but this discussion is about hiring processes and how they act as political filters in the current climate.

> Yes, and I don't see why that's a problem, because it wouldn't be tolerable in any other workplace to bring your personal political opinion into the interview.

If you don't want to hear personal political opinion, don't require a personal statement on a contentious political issue as part of the application. It's as simple as that.

If you ask for a statement, but reject perspectives associated with the other side, then you have made it a political litmus test.

> Some communities can arrive at a different norm than others, and it's not "picking winners and losers" if that community starts rejecting outsiders who violate the community's norms.

If those norms are illiberal, then rejecting outsiders who violate those norms is also illiberal. Even if you debated and voted on them.

> it's not a coincidence that a furor of a thousand+ comments bubbled up here about DEI statements in academia at the same exact time the right wing media sphere also was very concerned about DEI statements in academia.

This is a site where people comment on current news stories. That said, diversity policy in business and academia is by no means a new or unusual topic of conversation here. In any case, it seems like some good evidence that this is actually a contentious issue that many people have genuinely strong feelings about.

I actually downsized and paid about the same for where I live now as I did in 2016 and no state income taxes.

If you really think it's trivial, then do it! I would be interested to see the results of anyone doing this. But there aren't any to see right now.

> I'm not sure 'semantic relationship' is the right term here.

It might not be; but in the cognitive science literature that term is used for more than just relationships between linguistic constructs; it is used for relationships between internal features of a model or an entity and features of the external world. I think this usage is also common in robotics, and more generally in domains like mechanical engineering which are often concerned with creating software programs to do things like manage fuel and air flow in car engines.
I think you mainly missed the point. I see you're an SRE, let's say I am also one. If I see that you make 200% of what I make, what does that tell me?

It definitely doesn't necessarily mean I am underpaid. And I have no way to figure that out. So what does comparing your comp to mine enable me to do?

Ask HN: Why does systemd insist on using binary logs?
I am curious to know the reasons. Moving away from text makes very little sense to me.

- Binary gives minor compression advantages from what I understand.

- Having to learn yet-another-tool seems a real pain.

- A walled garden is good from the point of view of the creators of systemd?

- Arrogance?

I love the A36TN. For a traveling over 300nm airplane, I don’t ever want a normally aspirated piston again. The next clear step better than an A36TN is 7-figures and burns Jet-A.

I have only a couple hours in an M20, so I can’t fairly compare it directly. A36 club seating is well-liked by the family. (Have owned it 9.5 years; wife has literally never sat up front.) Turbo and TKS well-liked by me. It’s not cheap, but it’s reasonably economical and fairly fast. 185 knots on 16-17 gph. Can climb 1000 fpm through 12-15K (but at 32-33 gph), which is nice for quickly getting above low-level bumps and out of the maelstrom of traffic.

What a load of BS. My numbers are from the wage statistics my union (IDA) publishes. This isn't some elite circle, these are real numbers collected from their 10's of thousands of members. For example (note numbers are monthly wage in DKK): https://imgur.com/a/7obnU8p

One of the most critical parts of nontrivial search tasks is evaluating the quality and credibility (and motives) of the sites asserting various facts or opinions. I wouldn’t outsource this part to a statistical model. Even if it cites its sources, you’re limited to the pool of sources it chose. Unless you decide to go Google it yourself - in which case, what was the point of querying the language model?
Probably true.

The layout I expect Thunderbird to move towards is the one in every mail client I've used in the past decade, I wouldn't call that trendy. At this point you're an outlier so you better have a good reason to stick to the different UI.
Generally I don't buy these arguments which require embodiment, because they don't seem to align well to what else I know about my world.

Rather than your Thai text example, let's consider a friend of my sister H. H has been profoundly blind from birth. Not "legally blind" with the world a blur, her eyes actually don't work. Direct lived experience of a summer day is to her literally just feeling warmth on her face from the sun, her eyes can't see the visible light.

I've seen purple and H never will so it seems to me you're arguing I "know" what purple is and she doesn't, thus ChatGPT doesn't know what purple is either. But I don't think I agree, I think we're both just experiencing a tiny fraction of reality, and ChatGPT is experiencing an even narrower sliver than either of us and that it probably wouldn't do us any good to try to quantify it. If I "know what purple is" then so does H and perhaps ChatGPT or a successor model will too.
> Bone headed move. They must have miscalculated if they think the students will cave to this pressure

It´s not about caving, I don´t think. It´s about maximum damage. University administration is one of the most ruthless groups you can come across. They´re well aware that they hold the future ambitions of these students in their hands. Even if they get sued, even if they lose, they´re well aware that they can utterly ruin a sizeable portion of the students they hit with this. They simply can´t afford to fight back, or wait to get the situation resolved.
I can think of a number of reasons that make this valuable:

If someone just wants an image like this and doesn't even know what css is, it's cheaper to pay 5 bucks than to even consider hiring someone to do this.

If someone does know how this is done... Why would they purchase the service?

Also, what if someone wants this but it's not for a website? They make pamphlets or something.

My only complaint is that from the example I thought it would return an animation, not a still image.
The references seem wrong though. I'm looking at the response to a demo Bing query, "What cars should I consider buying that are AWD, go 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, seat 6 or more and have decent reviews?"

> The 2022 Kia Telluride is a midsize SUV that can seat up to eight passengers and has an AWD option. It has a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds [10] and has a combined fuel economy of 21 mpg. It also has excellent reviews from critics and owners, and won several awards, including the 2020 World Car of the Year [7].

> some neural networks are trained in virtual 3D physical simulations and are able to apply their knowledge acquired through statistical regression of a simulated world to perform tasks and even make predictions

As you note, this is very different from using text data as a training set for a language model. I am not familiar enough with this work to comment on it in any detail, but it is not the kind of work I have been addressing in my comments elsewhere in this thread, so my comments should certainly not be taken as any kind of evaluation of what I think this kind of thing is or is not capable of.
These are graduate students, who generally are and that do a large part of the teaching at any university.
Dealing with Kubernetes is “painless”?

But it’s not the infrastructure that takes time. It’s the business context, the knowing how to navigate the code and the organization to get things done. The “favor economy” goes a long way in business.
Can you point to some of those Twitter comments? I'm honestly curious of which labor laws they are violating. For example, I just did a search regarding healthcare for striking workers, and there is no federal law that prevents cancelling healthcare, to the point that some congresspeople have introduced bills in the last year to specifically outlaw that (but, to emphasize, those are just bills, they haven't been passed).
Yes, they're separate from wages that graduate students earn. Roughly—graduate students attend college for free, but for financial aid / regulatory / internal budgeting reasons the college can't say they attend for free, so they instead set extremely high tuition numbers and then "pay" that tuition for the students, from one hand of the college to the other hand.

But also AIUI Temple took away the whole of the tuition remittance for the entire semester. Companies are allowed to stop paying wages for the time workers are on strike and not working, but taking away tens of thousands of dollars for the entire semester simply for participating in a strike action during a tiny piece of it is absolutely beyond the pale.
I don't see how that lowers the amount of sales of vehicles. In fact, it seems like vehicles would be used more and need replaced more often.
I would argue that proximity matters, but there are many different ways of slicing proximity.

Certainly moving away from friends so that I no longer can interact with them routinely would affect the relationship.

But you can also view proximity as how often people show up in your routine. There are many people I knew and had solid friendships with just because we put in the effort to call or message in the evenings a few times a week.
yes, the person you are replying to is not an expert at UK politics, but then you went right off the hinges with the rest of your post. the UK is one of the biggest police states in the west. the king of punk was to be executed for insulting the queen just 40 or whatever years ago. it was or is illegal to give someone the middle finger. someone got jail for 60 days for saying something racist on twitter or facebook. the UK literally favors "decency" over basic freedoms

If using a taxi becomes cheap and convenient, the need to own a car goes down.

I don't use a car near enough to justify owning one, but have considered getting one just because taxis are unaffordable for any bigger trips and carsharing can be a pain in the ass (mostly having to get to/from the carsharing station, inspecting for damages, and the lack of flexibility).

Solve those problems, and I will actively not want to own. Parking is expensive.

This is very similar to where I'm at. I feel like I do have skills that could be used somewhere, but i don't look great on paper, and I'm not very good at selling myself.
Similar to the way it currently works with AI generated video or even code. Yes you can create simple stuff just like on retool, but want it to look polished like or be extremely light weight and performant? Still going to have to go in and know enough to fine tune or create custom new components, backends, data models etc.

So basically a parking app that save you a spot, aka low hanging fruit now, sure the ai stuff will eat that market, but want something like Carrot Weather, ToDoist, etc you are going to need someone to build it.
We've had very segmented access for all of our Ops people. It took a while to get used to and made alot of sense at the time.

According to a random Wikipedia article I found, in 1983 the three top-grossing arcade games were Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position, and Dragon's Lair. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_in_video_games

Compare the graphics of those three games. Dragon's Lair was groundbreaking, even if the gameplay was quite limited to account for technological and budgetary limitations.

I'm not familiar with these Twitter lawyers. Why would suspension of pay and benefits be illegal?

"Generally speaking, those who are part of a legal strike cannot lose their health insurance or other benefits. While they may not receive them during a strike, these benefits must generally be made available to workers after they return to their jobs."
It also depends on the condition of the wire. 50 year old paper insulated POTS wiring will struggle for just a few Mbps even if it's a short hop to the CO. Thank god the telcos were able to collect the USF surcharge to pay for the necessary upgrades.
Ask HN: Will an EE get any attention in the software world?
I want to go back to school to become a software engineer; however, after seeing all the headlines about layoffs from the biggest software companies, I'm afraid I'll just be leaving a stable career for a turbulent one.

When looking at potential colleges, I noticed that for most of them the "Computer Engineering" degree was mostly similar to the "Electrical Engineering" degree --almost identical for the first three years.

I wonder if an electrical engineering degree would give me most of the same learning as a computer engineering degree, and would open more doors in case all the software jobs dry up: a fallback.

I would love to hear what working engineers think. Sorry to give my life story, I tried to keep it short.

A couple things that may be worth mentioning:

- I'm already confident in my programming skills. I'm sure I could get to a professional skill level without a degree, I just want the advantage of a degree for the job search.

- The schools I'm looking at only offer Computer Science and Computer Engineering (no "Software Engineering" degrees), and I'm already sure I'm not interested in a computer science degree.

That means vendors should be legally forced to publish source code of any software they abandon / stoped providing support. Hope this will happen soon. Regarding Windows XP, full source code has been leaked already (not SP3 but close to recent).
In my experience, CRUD apps are complicated with business requirements and therefore bespoke business logic. AI will definitely assist with getting apps up and running but there will still need to be someone who takes the requirements, turns it into a functional product, updates it, maintains it and owns it.

I doubt it will be business/stakeholder people interacting with the AI. It could potentially be business analysts but I doubt they'll want to. It would be an addition to their current job.

That leaves the software engineers. Maybe a lot of software engineers will turn into _solution_ engineers or _product_ engineers. Their job will be to create the solution/product even if they're not writing code.
