I don’t agree with that, it wasn’t even a complex situation, Google just didn’t like the idea that a paper attributed to them could point out all the obvious unethical implications of this technology and shut it down.

The drama afterwards is largely irrelevant and if anything Gebru’s refusal to just meekly accept the company line demonstrates just how valuable she is in this field. The dismissal isn’t the real story, the retraction of the paper is the real problem the OP is referring to when discussing Google’s moral issues.
I asked ChatGPT about this:

"Why are ChatGPT responses written a few words at a time?"

It replied, a few words at a time:

- - -

The responses are broken up into smaller chunks for several reasons:

1. Better readability: Breaking up the responses into smaller pieces makes it easier for users to read and understand the information being provided.

2. Interactivity: ChatGPT's response format allows for a back-and-forth interaction with the user, making it feel more like a conversation and allowing the user to ask follow-up questions or clarify information.

3. Error correction: By responding a few words at a time, the model can quickly correct any errors or misunderstandings in real-time, leading to a more accurate overall conversation.

4. Efficient communication: Responding in smaller chunks allows the model to quickly provide information and reduces the latency in the communication process.

Overall, the goal is to create an efficient, user-friendly, and interactive conversational experience.
I hope you are aware that severe contortions are required to limit warming to 1.5°C and that significantly more warming is still on the table.

But ah yes, plants love CO2 so humans must love the heat.

If your standard of proof is that Russia admits it this conversation won’t go far. Russia is the only one that benefits.

Russia weaponizes energy. Many people assume Russia is rational but it’s just not true. Like John McCain said, it’s a gas station run by gangsters.

> They can just keep the gas flows off FFS!

Russia would have to pay penalties in the contract. They don’t want to do that.

> That doesn’t mean the US was involved but it makes zero sense for the Russians to do it to themselves.

See above points. It is clearly not “zero.”
> They're the one saying people at SO aren't nice.

They never said that. They said that stupid comments get posted.
I'm not directly addressing my parent comment, but rather all the sibling comments. :)

Note, I do like the comments on HN, and spend more time here than on SO. I personally like how they're both direct and don't accept too much fuss. But I also see newcomers here getting burnt by "that orange website", not being used to how it is.
It appears to be a relic from the NeXT days.

If you look at the video [1] you can see it installing developer tools into the NeXTDeveloper and NeXTLibrary folders. So it's quite possible Apple just did a find/replace and removed the prefix.

Some of the cons of rootless/podman

* last time I used systemd units to manage podman containers, it was an inconsistent failure and a catastrophe with containers failing to start.

* podman-compose is not yet officially supported.

* pods are confusing.

* any use of privileged ports (<1024) requires messing with sysctl values as workaround. yikes!

* no pre-defined apparmor/selinux profiles for common processes.

* folder/file permissions under user namespaces is a confusing mess.

* slirp4netns eats cpu and has awful performance.

* can't do GPU and other deeper HW related tasks.

I could go on and on...

Docker has none of these inadequacies.
Calling it "risque'" completely misses the mark (as does caling Priapus' fresco erotic; he is just weighing his penis with scales). Priapus was a household deity, pretty much like we have saints in today's world, and this is so regressive. And no reference to the beautiful statue of priapus in the same house. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Priapus_from_the_hou...
Why not just burn it?

Most plastics can be incinerated pretty quickly, releasing quite a bit of energy. The only downside is the release of CO2, but that should be reasonably easy to capture.

And you'd avoid creating massive toxic landfills. Just putting stuff in a big pile and hoping nothing bad happens to it isn't really a solution.
Cancelling a show with 1 season left is so shit.
I quote it in my parent post directly. So yes, they said that.
Yes, they do reduce transmission.

For example (and there are many):

Data from studies in the United Kingdom showed that both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines were effective in preventing onward transmission of the virus to close contacts in case of breakthrough infections.

In one study among the general population in the United Kingdom, the effectiveness against transmission from breakthrough infections to household contacts from 21 days after the first dose was 47% (95% CI: 37–57) for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine and 49% (95% CI: 41–56) for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. [1]

Another study from the United Kingdom reported that, among healthcare workers, who predominantly received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, vaccination was associated with a 30% (95% CI: 22–37) reduction in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to household contacts. [2]

I love hackathons. But what is described in the article indeed sounds horrible.

At my job, we have a hackathon once a year. You are free to decide if you want to join. It is during work-hours and you can work on anything you want, provided it is somewhat company related. That, however, is a very wide umbrella. Like, someone made a "lego-gun" for automatically plugging USBs in and out. It also helps that we're hardware company, so the ideas can be a bit more high-flying sometimes. Snacks and drinks are served during the day.

After work-hours, there would be a lightning round of presentations to management, and we would vote for different categories. After that, pizza and beer.

Now, it's expanded a bit, and people said they didn't like sticking around after working hours. So it's one day of building and one day of presentations. Both are completely voluntary, but are usually a lot of fun.

I'd never do it on a weekend, and I'd only stick around after hours for a social event.
The cynical answer to that question is ”you don’t need to be in the office to do your work, but your manager does need you in the office to do his work”.
I worked with Tim Paterson (guy who invented what became MS-DOS) at Microsoft. We were on the VB team. Once I came into his office while he was viewing a hex dump. He was reading generated code. He had memorized the x86 opcodes and it was just too slow for him to look at assembly output.
How does the ability to solve a new problem comes to a person?
ffmpeg is a bad example as libav is a library specialized towards making ffmpeg. It's not a generic audio/video manipulation library.
For a UTM, you need something to function as an infinite Turing tape. For example a mechanism that can loop arbitrarily. On a machine with finite resources, running an infinite program will exhaust the machine's resources. But ChatGPT has nothing like that.

As to ChatGPT's memory that's not about UTM expressivity, but another reason why it can't be any kind of computing device.

ChatGPT and other language models of its kind don't have memories. It can retrieve context from earlier prompts because each of your prompts, and the language model's responses to your prompts, are prepended to your latest prompt and then the whole thing passed to the model. It doesn't remember what you said earlier, it just reads it again each time.

Finally, a neural net architecture and a trained model are two different things. For example, you could train one Convolutional neural net to recognise cats, and another to recognise dogs. Suppose you could train a Transformer to simulate a UTM. ChatGPT is not trained to simulate a UTM, it's trained to predict text. So it can't simulate a UTM.

But, after all this discussion I have to ask: why do you say that "it’s pretty safe to bet that ChatGPT is Turing Complete"? What does ChatGPT have in common with cellular automata, for instance?
Have you read the AF447 report? The FO lacked basic airmanship skills, such as not stalling own plane and not knowing pushing the nose down to increase airspeed.... he would have failed PPL licence in a Cessna.

Sure, it was not the only factor, but it was one of the decisive factors.
Study Finds Video Game Playing Causes No Harm to Children’s Cognitive Abilities
I don't want to read AI generated stuff that is cloaked as personal opinion or thoughts of an individual. In this case "I hate Hackathons" infers human emotion. Getting then presented a mostly AI article doesn't sit right with me.
Doesn't it publish the policies themselves?

Is there any official name of the policy, or anything that could be used to find commentary on it?
Me sitting in the office, because ordered to be there, while all my managers are remote, wondering slightly what is going on..
In many cases Wikipedia's source links are dead. And nobody bothers to update them. Or they cite some random book that I have no way to get and read myself.

Who checks if that book actually exists and is not made up? Especially if it's not a highly politically charged topic.

And then there are circular citations. Someone posts unverified/false info on wikipedia. Then it gets cited by some blog or other media that wikipedia considers trustworthy. And that then gets added to wikipedia as a reliable source.
I've done it for close to a decade.

Just before COVID, I had enough of the isolation, lack of contact with my team and working outside of the rest of the world's flow.

COVID forced another 2 years of it on me.

Now I work in a bar to meet people and do all the human contact things.

I write software 3 days a week, still remote, and enjoy the balance.
Do you work 5 days a week during those 6 weeks?
If yes, 2 days off is nice - but not generously nice. There are companies (but not FAANG) that by default have a 4-day week, so there you'd have in 6 weeks essentially 6 days off.
Yes, exactly. Who said anything about using human poop untreated?

Meditation has lots of research to back things up. Maybe look into it before having an opinion about it?

> Meditation comes from Asia, where the culture is that of escape from the world versus the Western culture of embracing the world head on.

Ouch.

> I learned that Adderall is used for ADHD and one other condition: narcolepsy. This further implies the connection between attention/executive control and sleepiness.

What? How on earth can you just make this assumption, especially if you have no idea how the brain works? Sorry, but this is just controversial garbage.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this.
People Are 'Jailbreaking' ChatGPT to Make It Endorse Racism, Conspiracies
That is very true. I'm surprised many people seem not to care.

I use mostly safer compounds in my workshop (platinum-cure silicones, polyurethane resins, and occasionally good grade epoxy), but I still put on a proper mask, glasses, and gloves. Especially when working with my daughter. Those half-mask respirators are surprisingly comfortable (I found them easier to wear than N95/FFP2 masks).
Except, iPhones were first to market with an app store. There's a stronghold that Valve would need to break. If Microsoft couldn't do it with the full weight of its developer division and Windows Phone, then it's not likely Valve can.
I think it is the same for me, to a degree.

A job always entails working on someone else's problems and working within constraints of their (or their field's) own making. So it could never compare equally to what motivates us when it comes from within. But we get paid to do that work, so it is not a bad exchange.

That isn't to say we can't try to be more picky about the positions that we seek out. The problem space might be motivating for us, or it might be that the coworkers are what drives us on. Perhaps the work life balance is really nice and the tech stack is either cutting edge or the internal practices are really solid.

Hopefully all of these can be true, to a degree (perfection is unachievable).

However if the place is occupied with rock star developers, corporate politicians as well as unrealistic requirements and time constraints then it is just a hands down bad place to work, and the dark cloud over your head has nothing to do with where your motivation comes from.

The answer, ironically, is `docker-compose` with the `-H` flag pointing to your podman socket.
This article rests basically everything on one assertion: organisational productivity is equal or better with remote work. It would be prudent to show some evidence of this when making the subsequent points.

It is very interesting to see how strongly the opinions differ on this topic. Both sides have good and understandable arguments. I think that in the future, jobs will also be advertised with the phrase "primarily in the office".
This is more interesting than expected. I clicked at random, not remembering who Yamagami Tetsuya was, and found things like this:

> “Japan’s peculiar arrangement was that of a powerful state run by an organizationally weak party that was heavily restricted by the postwar legal system. That arrangement meant that other powers had to be tapped by the LDP to get certain things done. Kishi, Sasakawa, and Kodama had needed the Unification Church for the same reason that they needed the Yakuza—to do things beyond the law. But in doing so, they began to unleash forces that would ultimately spiral beyond the control of their successors.

Unless you believe managers don’t do useful work, that doesn’t even strike me as a very cynical take.

I disagree with it though, I manage a distributed team and I can do my work fine without the team being in the office.

I think the serendipity arguments for on-site are much stronger than “manager doesn't trust team member to be productive on their own” which the entire world discovered was bullshit during the corona lockdowns.

The serendipity thing is real. We have less of it. We have many other benefits and we think it’s worth it, but to think remote doesn’t have downsides is a bit short sighted IMO.
But the browser has everything.
There isn't right now.
It's something I will probably add now that people actually play the game

When I was younger, I loved hackathons. I could spend multiple days in a row coding without interruptions, or meetings. Great time.

Now I'm older and I still love hackathons. Now I can have a few days where I can take it easy, tinker with some new interesting tech, chat with colleagues about how good/bad the tech is. Still a great time.
It's framed as a gift in order to manipulate the negotiating position. The fact is both employer and employee benefit from it, but if the employer can emphasize the benefits to the employee they can extract a bit of value from the relationship.
Because you can be in the environment of your choosing.
If it's filtering by taking the output of the first model as a prompt (with some framing), then that is equally susceptible to prompt engineering. Indeed, you can already tell ChatGPT to write a prompt for itself to do such and such, and it will do so. You can even tell it to write a prompt to write a prompt.
This is an article about an arrogant idiot being an arrogant idiot about different things. I think it's getting attention because of the headline, but otherwise it's totally uninteresting. It's just someone who was deeply, utterly, confidently wrong about certain topics realizing that everyone else was right.
I'm, (more or less), in the same situation. I'm 51 and programming since I was 11 (professionally since 14yo). And I feel tired (above all my poor eyes XD). Lots of work not used or used incorrectly, duplicate work over the time... I think nothing is wrong with me/us... It is simple lack of patience over the years because the age.. Some people called it experience :D So, a mix of age, experience, lack of interest in new tech(because you see that this "new" tech is already something old with a new layer of spaghetti code of a shiny new language), makes me think about finish my career and look for another use of my time (Learn english? XD). Am I wrong? maybe.. El tiempo lo dirá. ;) cheer up!

Comparing polio vax to covid vax is silly and I don't think I need to explain why because I don't think it is worth arguing with someone who resolves to using ad hominem attacks of "nutty antivax".
Polio vaccine didn't eliminate transmission either.

As I stated above the COVID vaccines didn't eliminate transmission they reduced transmission rates.

I've just replied to another comment and provided two (of many) statistically significant studies (for professional epidemiologists) that confirm that (specifically for two vaccines in the UK). There are other studies across the globe that affirm the same conclusion.

The important truths about "people know from their own experience that most vaccinated people have had Covid." are that many vaccinated people had COVID .. a milder form with greatly reduced rates of hospitalisation, reduced rates of critical care, and reduced rates of death.

Most residential systems have a warranty for 25 years. The manufacturer guarantees that there is no significant degradation for that time. That probably means that they last a lot longer than that.
AI is not on-chain yet. Why so?
What I absolutely love about the Universe is the perpetual emergence of smart things from simple things. And this is fantastic news that people today are able to make transistors emerge into neural networks which are smart enough to impress. I'm a strong believer that the sentiency will follow, it is just a matter of increasing volume.

However, nature is balance – and complex social phenomena like corporations cannot subscribe to the requirements of nature, they are not balance. So I do intuit they will fail to create something as divine as sentience

If we really want to go this way, play nature, and create smart things – we need to do it in a peer-to-peer fashion. We invented cypher block-chains exactly for this. OpenAI, Microsoft, Google are just kids playing in the sandbox under staring parental supervision – why didn't people fork GTP onto blockchain yet? Maybe I am missing such a project. Do you think on-chain, decentralised general intelligence AI projects will appear soon? Is it a good thing or it shouldn't leave caring corporate hands? How one would approach questioning such a system morally?

Show HN : Ariam model – difficulties with stock price forecasting
Hello everyone,
I tried to predict French bank stock prices using the ARIMA model. After checking the stationarity and then differentiating the series once, my ACF plot analysis did not give me interpretable results.
I am new to jupyter notebook and just started using python this year. If anyone has a better idea or a better way to do this, please let me know. I think (but I'm not sure) that the beginning of my analysis is right and it's just the fact that predicting stock values is pretty hard. Maybe I should start by predicting something else... or choose a different time period or range.
I hope the quality of transcription will increase.

Nowadays in Switzerland there are four different languages: English, French, German and the Swiss-German dialect which is different enough to warrant a separate speech-to-text training, which will be a bit difficult because every valley has its own variant of the dialect.

This is currently a serious barrier. For example at Youtube, if people talk Swiss German Youtube identifies it as Spanish, Dutch, Ukrainian or English, I have seen it all.

If I would need to do remote work, I would look for an international company where the office language is strictly English.
AES can handle ultra small messages just fine and a hash's security is based off of its length.
I appreciate it! Writing is hard (especially not in my native language) and I'm always looking to improve, so feedback like this is valuable.

To be honest, that blog post was targeted at cargo-semver-checks users and r/rust readers, to give them a sense of how cargo-semver-checks is designed and why, with a motivating example of speeding up queries while supporting multiple rustdoc versions. It wasn't really meant to be "Trustfall's entrance on the world stage" even though it kind of ended up being that...

I plan to write more blog posts (and code!) about Trustfall's specific capabilities (and things it can't/shouldn't do) in the future, so hopefully those will come up first in people's searches and give folks the right impression.

Re: multiple adapters, yes, that's the plan. I have some prototype code for turning multiple adapters into a single adapter over the union of the datasets + any cross-dataset edges, and it supports the new optimizations API so the same kind of trick should work in the same way. In general, Trustfall is designed to be highly composable like this: you should be able to put Trustfall over any data source, including another instance of Trustfall, and have things keep working reasonably throughout.
Yes! I meant to link to rctestflight and not RCLifeOn. Amazing stuff. Especially the latest ground effect series.
