That's a great question.

I'll admit that I haven't even figured out what it means for anything to "know" something.

But everything I've learned about, witnessed, and experienced with ChatGPT is consistent with a far more mechanical process than I experience with myself, my friends, or my community. I find it easy to spot the wires above the marionette and find there workings to be pretty intuitive. I have a comfortable sense of which ones to tug to make it dance the way I want, and when it's producing something unusual I've found that it doesn't take a lot of work to come up with a consistent, mechanical theory of how.

With people, that sense of clarity and comprehensibility hasn't really become apparent despite many decades of engaging with a bunch of them. There seems to be something far more sophisticated going on under the hood there, and they consistently surprise me and confound me in ways that ChatGPT doesn't even approach.

Maybe some AI model will achieve the same thing someday, and maybe that day will be soon, but for now ChatGPT looks and acts exactly like what the associated research papers would suggest.
I do not understand the appeal or gpt-powered searches.

Most of my web searches are for looking up specific things, to find the specific link(s) that contains the information I need. These aren’t searches that are going to be made better or faster by an ML model-they’re not natural language queries, they’re just a bunch of terms.

ChatGPT is still a novelty. People will kick tires etc but utility is just not there yet.
I'd never heard of Ninite, it looks potentially quite useful:

Right, Russia already controlled the pipeline, by controlling the supply of gas, why destroy it?

IMHO it was a clear signal from the US to Europe that there's a new Daddy when it comes to gas; Russian gas is no longer available, and is never coming back, you buy our fracking gas from now on.
Google has been up against SEO for decades and the motivations are much stronger on the other side of the battle. ChatGPT is running off a fixed training set that no one has had a chance to game yet. When someone tries to build a true, current AI search engine we're going to see a whole new level of hallucinating lie machine.
Things that i *know* were parts of the internet, that I could find via google 5-10 years ago are no longer possible to find. I get single page search results sometimes, with not even the capability to keep browsing 'more' pages to see things that may be tangentially related. Google has just decided to not show them at all. Remember when the bottom of the page was "Goooooooooooooooogle" and you could click each "o" to go to that page? Haven't seen that in a while, right?
But that's wrong. There is no position for this in a civilised society:

"If we ask everyone is going to say no, so we will steal it unless someone tells us not to"
If Google were ever to remove the 'verbatim' option (which is lacking in other search engines like Bing as far as I can tell) it would become much less useful.

Unfortunately, one cannot enable both 'time' and 'verbatim' option under Tools in Google Search. I guess I should go ask ChatGPT why that is the case...

To be frank, they don't mention a thing about the Baltics' might or political prowess, they only enumerate a preferred political alignment in foreing policies of such states so that it becomes instrumental to the US in their own foreign relations with both Germany and Russia.

>>> I view Google as the yellow pages

So do I. I can't tell you the last time I even held yellow pages in my hands.
For one, when I search a recipe, I want less than a 30 page document. I've wanted this for 20 years, and so has everybody else.
The SEO fiasco means that the index to the Yellow Pages is all wrong. You want to find the Chinese embassy, instead you find Vietnamese takeaway businesses.

In the last 2-3 months search quality for me has absolutely crashed and is barely usable.

Many of the HN crowd remember when Google came into existence and how wonderful it was.

If it existed on the internet, Google would find it for you and it was usually the top resault. It was amazing.

Today, it's a shadow of its former self.

You regularly have to search, wade through the ads that are written like informative articles, adjust your query slightly and repeat the process. It's rubbish.
> Your reversing cause and effect

Which cause and effect am I reversing? Who deserves what is based on identity, i.e. citizen vs corporation, not money alone. So the auction determination of who deserves what, based only on money, is what is in some cases reversed.

>it's not like every auction winner is guaranteed to make money

Whether corporations made a sound business decision in the process of elbowing citizens out of their rightful resources while attempting to extract rents from them is beside the point. The damage to the People is done regardless.
> Except for the last, those are just lies that people in power find inconvenient.

A few of them are plain-old voter suppression, and ~50% of the time, people in power find them incredibly convenient.

You don't see them very often, because in most free countries, trying any of them is an incredibly serious offence.

It claims that the info came from someone "with direct knowledge of the operational planning"
The "Putin did it" hypothesis was that he did it to prevent internal replacement. Suppose that some Russian rival wanted to replace him. They could kill or imprison Putin, end the war in Ukraine, restart the gas pipelines, and have a lot of gas money from Europe to distribute to supporters.

Destroying the pipelines removed the potential reward for an internal rival to replace him.

There's a lot of strong reactions here, which I don't think are generally unfounded. Telemetry has certainly been misused and will continue to be, but it can also be an invaluable tool for product development.

For example, we had a CLI with many commands and flags, some of which were costly to maintain. By adding analytics, we were able to see that literally no one was using certain commands, and we could safely remove them without messing up workflows.

On each CLI invocation, we collected:

- hash of user ID
- which command is run
- which flags were included
- operating system (not version information, just mac/pc/linux)

This data wasn't used for marketing, had no identifiable information, and was diasablable (but opt-out). You could also log exactly what was sent to the server, so you could see.

We could have collected some of this via occasional surveys, but the data would have been less useful and less accurate.

I didn't look into the details of what Go is proposing to collect, but treating all telemetry of any kind as a boogeyman isn't productive; just have to do it the right way.
In the mid 2000s, I could find my answer easily in the top 5 hits.

In the present day, I cannot find my answer on the first page. If I click on the top hits the page is a deluge of useless blogg fluff which takes me more time to find what I am looking for.

More often than not have to add reddit, forum, stackoverflow, etc to find what I am looking for because online communities provide more concise answers.

This is why googles utility has collapsed.
My wife is 2nd generation. Her father once asked "What's Latinx?"

He thought the notion that Latin grammar had become politically incorrect as absolutely insane and offensive.

While well meaning, I believe a lot of the ideas in vogue with the identity movement is harmful to the cause of equity and inclusion. It just doesn't sell to working class people regardless of their cultural background. Which is an impediment to obtaining the political power needed to create actual change beyond arguing about the right words to use.
People seem to forget: AI is about data, the ability to process it, and having a few smart folks to do algorithms. The third part is actually the smallest and easiest part of the trilogy for AI.

Google, has all three. The real question is can they not shoot themselves in the foot while doing it.

Also SEO will always target the market leader.

As far as Bing's results: I keep thinking Google is trashy. Then I use Bing and I remember just how good Google is. That's my personal opinion. I am NOT going to claim they are SEO, and spam immune, far from. But they seem to do better than Bing in getting what I mean right.

ChatGPT may help MS, but is it a bandaid? Is it just a good PR bump? Who knows... Displacing Google is a large task.. and not one I'm sure I want MS to win. But I look forward to them trying, if only to make Google do better.
… Wait, really? I thought that was the whole point of it.

I don’t know if you saw screenshots of the Prometheus model inside Bing. But it presents the sources with all its answers. It is no ChatGPT but a new model created for search.

I do 99% of my PC gaming with a Steam Deck. All the major games I am interested in "just work." If Elden Ring and most/all of my fav indie games work, I don't see why I will need a windows PC ever in the near future.

I was able to get several non-steam games from the early 2000's working as well with Proton.

Likely if more games are built against/for dxvk/proton things will get even easier.
Thank you Bernard. That will be all
It's open source. You could put Google Adsense API calls in every nook and cranny of the platform if you like. Or any other ad provider, for the matter
the tinfoil take is that everyone in charge is fully aware of this eventual problem such that when it occurs, a solution will be presented: ubiquitous verifiable digital ID technology that's required to use popular social media services, such that everything that a Real Person posts will be signed with said digital ID, thus bringing about the end of online anonymity, and the death of the Internet as we presently know it.

The fact that this subject is able to trigger so much controversy on HN is fascinating.

I could understand if diplomats and politicians were upset, but regular techies?
Been working in SEO for nearly 13 years now - can confirm, a lot of SEO content spam is quite literally Googles fault. Google has forced just about every company to become a publisher as the only way to generate traffic to their site. I promise you the vast majority of companies don't want to spend the money pump out 4-30 pieces of mostly remixed/regurgitated content a month or screw around trying to attract links but this is how the algo works and you get what you measure.
Yes, sure. Are you implying I can't share my opinion with regards to Win11 though?
In the later 90ies I usually relied on HotBot, which actually had better results than Google provided initially. Biggest issue, not just with HotBot, was the completely overloaded start page, which especially on modems made it slow to load. This very simple start page by Google was very intentional; for example right now it is almost 300kB, cookies and other such junk not included, i.e. based on completely different assumptions of the commonly available bandwidth (300kB start page would have been instant death spell for a search page back then). They worked hard to make the crawling + results better, and that was pretty much the final nail in the coffin for all the other options.
It's still political. It's extremely unlikely the mod in question and JK Rowling have ever met, which makes it impossible to be personal.

It seems hyperbolic to compare slurs to a word for a group that's merely unpopular.

This does not make the article more credible, in fact, it detaches the beneficiary one more degree from the actor.
There are giant teams of people at Google whose only job is trying to define things like "spam" and "seo abuse" more precisely in more diverse contexts. There are equally large armies of people outside of it trying to outwit the first group and find more and more elaborate loopholes and workarounds.

HN is constantly pushing this notion that "spam" is some well-defined, solvable problem, so obviously Google wants it. That narrative just doesn't make sense from any angle. The notion that more click bait improves Google's bottom line is absurd
Show HN: Get an email digest of (only) the YouTube videos that interest you
Hey HN,
Like many other people here, I found myself lurking too much on YouTube, mindlessly scrolling the homepage to see what the algorithm throws at me.

At first I wanted to quit YouTube all together, but then realized some channels are important to me and very educational.

I decided to create TubeMail.io - You can sign up for free, pick the channels that interest you and get an email with the new videos on those channels each week/month/day.

The good thing about this is that if you use gmail (and probably some other services) you'll be able to watch the embedded youtube player within the gmail tab, so you won't even have to navigate to youtube.

Hope someone else also finds this helpful! :)
(and i'll be happy to hear any feedback you have - good or bad.)
It's way too premature to say that ChatGPT will overtake Google, not to mention Google still derives about half of its income from Youtube and 3rd party publisher ads. Every few years the media runs with some story about how Bing, Yahoo or whatever will overtake Google. Never even comes close.
> mobility across Schengen area and free access to Russia

Only to visit for up to 90 days, not to actually reside in either place. So it would be more like a stateless European getting an ESTA, which is hardly a replacement for actual citizenship in their home country.

> For its owners it's a decent value

An actual Estonian passport lets its owners work in the EU and gives them mobility across 181 countries; a Russian passport gives them access to 119. Estonian non-citizens can visit 46. Not that visa-free access to another country is the point of citizenship.
I find that impossible to achieve and believe others do. I have no expectation people getting my name right because, apart from other reasons, it contains sounds that do not exist in many standard languages. It would literally require training one to be able to produce new sounds, and that is just not practical at all, not to mention outright impossible for many to do accurately. I guess it is good to try to pronounce things good enough, but "correctly" I doubt.
Here's some Clojure code I wrote for the Emmy computer algebra system that implements polynomial interpolation with a few different algorithms described in Numerical Recipes:

https://github.com/mentat-collective/emmy/blob/main/src/emmy...

I discovered while writing this that I could express each of these algorithms as folds that consumed a stream of points, accumulating a progressively higher order polynomial.

Here's the same sort of thing but for rational function interpolation: https://github.com/mentat-collective/emmy/blob/main/src/emmy...
I think I've ran into some criticisms of Huberman for often citing animal studies as equally applicable to human studies. Tbf, I like Huberman generally, but I do also think he's very good at making every single thing he says "science based" as if the existence of a single finding from a one-off study on mice is somehow iron clad confirmation and proof in favor of his specific recommendation.

But his general recommendations are usually pretty good and he has good guests sometimes.
Yep totally agree, you will need need to solve the root issue at some point. The detox is just to meant to give you a chance to look at the situation clearly and hopefully put you in the path to addressing the root issue. which hopefully means you won’t need to medicate thru ur addiction
I suspect the future is far more bleak. At least with "search results", users can scroll down past the SEO content to something more relevant. Once these new chatgpt models take over, it's winner-take-all for search results. Everyone is going to be throwing money at getting their message seen, since it will be the final word.

Provisions of the Patriot Act allow banks to share customer information with each other for “compliance reasons.” The government is increasingly encouraging this. What this will mean in practice 30 years from now is that one account closure will mean that you’ll never get a bank account again.
Fairly often I ask the Siri homepod thing a question. It's good at playing music, doing simple math, translating some things. It can sometimes read me a wikipedia page. Far to often it says "I have some web results for that question, ask again from your ipad". In those cases I wish she could summarize and read me the answer.

I can understand why some times you might just want a chat response to a question rather than a web search.

But I swear that if I even suspect Siri's response is influenced by advertising or endorses a product, I will take the homepod and punt it down the street.
PlayStation Now already existed for years as well.

The point of google was to RANK content on the web, and surface the BEST content to the top. In that regard it has failed, and the expectation is for them to correct the problem and return to delivering good content first.

It's not that the content doesn't exist or isn't indexed, its that its been drowned out by noise. Sifting through noise better was the entire reason google took off from more standard crawlers. It now returns results worse than crawlers from the previous era.
This shady use of temporal sequence to imply a causal link is one of my most hated writing tactics.

ChatGPT finds the bugs...

-

First case is called out very strongly:

> assume 'raw_level' is of the type 'std::vector<char>'. Is there a memory safety issue with the code 'int level = atoi(raw_level.data());'"

Yes, there is a potential memory safety issue with the code int level = atoi(raw_level.data());.

The std::vector<char> class does not guarantee that the elements stored in the vector are null-terminated, which is required by the atoi function. The atoi function expects a null-terminated string as its argument, and if the input string is not null-terminated, the behavior of atoi is undefined.

Therefore, if raw_level does not contain a null-terminated string, this code may result in undefined behavior, including a crash or incorrect results.

-

Second case is lightly warned on:

> find a memory safety bug in this code <code for handle_qed_keyword_token>

The code you have provided does not appear to have any memory safety bugs. However, it depends on the context in which this code is used and the implementation of certain functions such as get_current_proof_level and pop_back.

If these functions are not implemented correctly or if the code is used in an unintended way, there may be a potential for memory safety issues to arise. For example, if pop_back is called on an empty proofs vector, it can result in undefined behavior and potentially cause a crash or data corruption.
So in effect you don't care about the issue and are content with how things are? I'm sorry, I'm not sure that I understand what stance you're taking. Misinformation is not an issue to you, would that be correct?

Requiring a trial to do anything about a lie on social media would mean that there would be no change. By the time the trial comes, the lie is old news and there is some new conspiracy taking grip.

That would be, essentially, meaningless. Not in any way, shape, or form preventative.
