> n't buy the overly negative prognosis.

No one need to buy negative opinions or so but trying to suppress truly occurring issues is childish. One needs to be mature to accept criticism. Whether twitter or elsewhere...

Again as a OCI, pointing out any issue is treated by this govt more as unpatriotic. (This strategy was successfully used by Bush/Trump to polarize the US). It is not good in the long term to do that.

Again many of the complaints are not out of spite. It is truly from heart many have optimism and feel let down. This is even inside the Indian consulate - I once was told that visit us only if you want to give a positive vibe (when I politely asked them as they printed place of birth with typo).

Note that US citizens complain about NSA spying, abortion rights etc.

Given poor law/order people can disappear in India. Take citizens that are languishing in prison. Again US police are not perfect but there are due procedures in the DOJ-USA. And getting a driving license or registering a house in US/EU will not need bribes.

Listening to complaints is the first step.

One can politely disagree. By banning things they create a chilling effect.

and please do not all the time compare to Congress govt. This is similar to blaming British. Yes, all that happened - just move on - NOW do good to current citizens.

No point in having dirty beaches complaining about Congress or British.
No problem! If it's helpful I'm glad. I do believe the original message wasn't meant to be snarky/arrogant at all, it just read that way. Maybe it reads a lot better in French! :)

Not an AI researcher, but share the feeling. This looks like industrialisation, except the things we’re going to automate the production of is what i was 100% sure was human’s core specificity : creative process under any form, and low-impact information production. Yet we’re living in the information age. Meaning, at least in the west, the majority of economical activities is going to be impacted and not in a pretty way.
I find it awe inspiring that we can broadcast a signal with a wavelength of about 1 inch from the continental US (West Virginia), and detect its reflection from the moon, 15 billion wavelengths away, using the VLBA in Hawaii.

Imagine if this could be done in a phase coherent fashion!

Existing debt coming due as well as a change in market. These are more than likely not 30+ year loans. Probably anything from overnight to 2-10 year. It is also possible to be 'cash poor' but have lots of invested value. That trap puts you in a spot where you borrow money to make payroll, even though you have enough. That gotcha put a lot of companies out of businesses in 2008. When it became very difficult to even borrow money. Higher rates also make it harder to borrow especially if you are carrying an existing debt load.

This is just speculation on my part but also perhaps instead of investing the money in the company it is better to just buy bonds for a better rate of return? Basically instead of buying workers time to get a rate of return. That worker has to 'beat' the interest rate which factors into MR=MC to make it worth the while of the company to keep them around. Wonder if there are any economic studies on that.
Do you actually find it funny? This is the same joke that's repeated over and over. I can't imagine enjoying it the 500th time. It's more of just a veil for certain beliefs.
AGPL feels like overreach: the software runs on someone else's machine. AIU AGPL was problematic for proprietary versions of Mongo and Elastic, does it have proper free software purpose? SaaSS is inherently nonfree: you're not going to self-host AWS, google, dropbox or github.
Yes. It is possible to do additional things with the model outputs or have additional prompt inputs... That is irrelevant to the fact that the intelligence -- the "trained" part -- is a fixed model. The way in which inputs and outputs are additionally processed and monitored would have completely different intelligence characteristics to the original model. They are, by definition of inputs and outputs, separate.

Models of models and interacting models is a fascinating research topic, but it is nowhere near as capable as LLMs are at generating plausible token sequences.
Because it's by far the worst UX-wise. If you know better tools, it's just shit. To add insult to injury, it kind of sort of works, sometimes, but there are tons of small problems here and there all the time in many cases. I had to use it only for video calls for 3 years, and probably weekly there was something wrong like restart needed because it screwed up my audio.
Tesla isn't the only brand that is doing that, and most of us didn't pay for it and are driving ourselves. So maybe pretend to be terrified by something else.
Good input! I moved it to be right above the "Items", so it's the first thing to do with currencies, and changed the icon to reflect the currently active currency. WDYT?
I'm glad to hear you say that. There are a lot of people out there who are kind of thinking the same thing. The only thing I really worry about is that if the time does come and we really need to use our paltry reserves of food, land, ammunition, etc. whether or not we have the ability to do the real civilizational dirty work--forming strategic alliances, committing violence when necessary, avoiding starvation through back-breaking farming work that actually yields harvests, etc.

Like, I've got some acreage, the skills to warm my old house through the winter on the woods, and enough knowledge to garden through the summer. But what about food in spring and fall? What if a band of 200 raiders from the city walks down the groomed road my driveway is off of and decides they want to live on my patch?

And even if civilization doesn't fall, do you really "own" land when your ownership claims are validated by paid police and the people who don't own land not thinking to come and take your land? I wouldn't say civilization "fell" between 1900 and 1930, but surely those Russian landowners assumed they "owned" their land before the Bolsheviks started peacefully discussing their ideas with the Tsarist government.

You start thinking about this stuff and realizing that these problems have been solved over and over again, since before writing. All of the stuff in history that seems so antiquated (like needing elaborate gift-giving rituals when meeting neighboring foreign nobility) suddenly seems clever and meaningful when it's juxtaposed against the context of starvation, enslavement, death by the plague, and no electricity.

The New York Times makes considerably more money from subscription services than from advertising. That's a recent (last ten-fifteen years) pivot.
The thing is, this is sort of the reality we are living in. People are subscribing to a 100 different services. Niche streaming services are very popular, but I do agree you have to be the best at your niche to be viable. The whole profitability point you made is completely valid. There are indeed no numbers that I am aware of that say these are profitable.

I hearken back before dot-bomb and occasionally people would ask me to work on "web sites" which they'd built with desktop publishing software (e.g. ColdFusion).

They'd hand me the code that somebody would've already hacked on. Oftentimes, it still had the original copyright statements in it. Can't get the toothpaste back in the tube now! Plus it's shitcode. Where is that copy of ColdFusion? Looks of complete dumbfoundment.

Google cautions against 'hallucinating' chatbots
The 3 companies I've worked for over the past 5 years have used Slack for chat and teams for meetings. and to be honest that's my preferred way to work too.

Huddles are okay for internal 1-on-1 meetings, but Teams works well when you need to organise a large meeting (potentially with people outside your org).

On the other hand Teams is awful for chat. Slack has put so much care and thought into messaging that their UX is close to perfect imo.
Except it’s already been shown LLMs can do exactly that. You can prime the model to insert something like ${API CALL HERE} into its output. Then it’s just a matter of finding that string and calling the api.

Toolformer does something really neat where they make the API call during training and compare next word probability of the API result with the generated result. This allows the model learn when to make API calls in a self supervised way.

You asked a very philosophical question.

To start with, there are different definitions of fairness. A small example: everybody gets equal, everybody gets what they deserve, everybody gets what they need. An so on.

It's very hard to answer this as my definition of "fair" is probably different to yours. However, we live in a free world. The company's rules are clear and nobody is forced to work there. Seems fair in some sense to me.

I personally wouldn't be happy with this arrangement as I would probably seek a little bit more appreciation of my experience and position.
We don't use it for messaging, just calls that are in calendar invites, otherwise, We use slack for everything.

It's not that teams is bad, per say. It's just that there are more ergonomic tools out there.
I'm talking about technology progress specifically there which has continued to evolve at a rapid pace since then, even despite the lack of world or cold wars that would cause intense money throwing at problems. And as this post points out, productivity doesn't seem to always scale with technology. Especially when most of that technology is just passive entertainment that expends lots of resources just to make us feel less bored.

Regardless it's far too early to say it failed given that we're talking millennium sized scales where a 50 year slowdown or even dip is less than a blip. Of course real life also isn't a magical place where exponential graphs go up into infinity, so it has to plateau somewhere. I'd assume at the very least sometime after the local group of galaxies is colonized.

It's one of the "do I spend/save an hour a year on this?" things... to which my answer is "yes."

And thus, its one of the things that I'm quite willing to add to my collection of "spending under $100/year on this."

Combined with the "this is useful as a back end for knowledge lookup", I suspect some of my toy projects will be using it more.

I used to run the 28 hour week in grad school and really enjoyed it personally as well.

The problem is keeping contact with everyone else when your schedule is rolling all across the calendar. I gotta pick the car up at 3 and call the dentist after they open at 10, and I have a class monday-wednesday-friday at 10am. 28 hour week would work a lot better in a city where everything is open 24h than a rural area where the grocery store closes at 8.
> Boeing paid 2.5 bn

That's like $6 million per person they've killed, very cheap. In UK NHS paid over $45 million for non-lethal medical mistake. [1]

If some accident has ever killed >50 people, it can never be the fault of one person on minimum wage.

People fuck up, that's a fact of life, that's why we have co-pilots in planes, FAA was suppose to check Boeing's design, and one person going crazy can't launch the nukes.

The article you linked details numerous failures by the company. You should assign responsibility up to decision makers that made tragedy inevitable, not down to pawns that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As I discussed in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34775479), what the "average person" wants and cares about is an objectively bad metric for anyone who cares about digital privacy when making security/privacy relevant decisions. The "average person" is functionally illiterate on matters of digital security and privacy.

Absent a strong business reason otherwise, absolutely.

Azure: yes, all the major cloud providers should migrate all of their use to their cloud. If their cloud doesn't support something that's a problem for their users and they need to fix it ASAP.

O365: Same thing.

VSCode: Developer tools such as IDEs shouldn't be mandated (and weren't when I worked at MS) but if one is mandated it absolutely should be their version unless there's a strong technical reason otherwise (for instance, if they were using Java there are better choices).

Windows: Again, most good shops don't mandate what your desktop environment is

Google has competitors in the search space so it's understandable why they're afraid of calling bluffs.

If we think of the tools as generating entirely novel content then I'd suggest we're using them for the wrong thing here - we shouldn't be using it at all as a glorified (now literal) search engine, it should be exploring some other space entirely. If we discovered a brand new sentient creature we wouldn't immediately try to fill its head with all the knowledge on the internet and then force it to answer what the weather will be tomorrow.
Tech layoffs are exploding and there is a looming recession and maybe world war, and you're gonna quit over the work-chat software?

At least the layoffs meant people got severances; this is walking for $0 and maybe the ability to find a different office productivity suite. I mean vote with your feet and all, but if this came up in an interview I'd probably laugh at you.
Udev Breakages (2012)
I used to think the same, until my local walmart went self checkout only. From that point forward I started using the 'pickup' option. I flat out refuse to bag my own groceries.

I'm not sure what the thought process was there. Walmart went from me doing most of the work to them doing almost everything. The day pickup stops being free, I'll likely just throw in the towel and start paying more to get groceries from another chain.

I treat GPT as I would a fiction writer. The factual content correlates to reality only as closely as a fiction author would go in attempt to suspend disbelief. This answer is about as convincing, apt, well-researched and factually accurate as I would expect to find in a dialogue out of a paperback novel published five years ago. I wouldn't expect it to be any better or worse at answering who won the 2023 Quidditch Cup or the 2023 Calvinball Grand Finals.

Ok so your point has been proven. Now what’s the plan? You’re going to build a time machine and go back undo the “pogrom”?

If you have time travel technology I’ll definitely vote for you.

Meanwhile back in reality the one who has a compelling vision for the future and a plausible record in executing it will win the election. Do you have someone like that in mind?
I am a total amateur here. But I found it natural to keep a relative spacial coherence in the schematic, and have it somewhat similar on the PCB side.

Though kicad would just dump everything randomly when moving to thr PCB view. As I understand, "packing" should help keeping this spacial grouping.

There is a plugin though[1] that does place the components on the PCB similar as they are placed on the schematic (and this does work with sub-sheet too). This is tremendously helpful starting point.

Boot died, sadly. There was some talk of a Boot 3.0 but it never materialized. I think deps.edn took all the steam out of it. Duplicated a lot of functionality and none of the esoteric-ness.
Lets say that someone wants to improve on Clojure and make a better functional, immutable LISP! What should they start with ? Some things I miss is type support (for easy refactoring, auto documentation and performance), (small) native compilation, support for mobile platforms and their UI's, first-class web-assembly support, real structs and misc things like performant implementations for `first`, `last` and other clojure functions, light-weight concurrency like Go, data-flow analysis and pipelines, etc.

An example of clojure performance issues covered here: https://tech.redplanetlabs.com/2020/09/02/clojure-faster/

All that stuff above should be fixed at the language/stdlib level.

But what is your take on what needs fixing ? What would have been your solution for the N data-structures/ M algo problem you mentioned above ?
Having a lookback increases the upside massively. It's almost an entirely different investment product versus the vanilla - take an X% discount every couple months.
Gee, thanks.

FWIW, not a lot, I talked to the developer for quite a while before writing the piece, and he messaged me today to say that he likes the article, and his only quibbles with it are minor. (For example, there are other GUIs in the installation image, including Enlightenment and some tiling WMs.)

Parenthetically:

I don't really think Android counts as a Linux distro. It's an OS with a Linux kernel, yes, but in all other ways, it's so totally unlike basically every other Linux or indeed Unix that I think calling it a distro is disingenuous.
"Teams has issues" is an understatement, the app will sometimes notify you that you have a new message, and when you try to open it from the web page, it won't show up, but if you force refresh it will. Or it will show up on the mobile client, but not on the web one.
One thing to keep in mind is that there's a security angle to this as well. It is beneficial for a company to centralize all of its communication through one service which can be audited for security and also support all the features required to meet the internal Requirements. Having multiple tools multiplies the work needed to maintain security standards.

Of course, I'm not saying that teams is more secure than competing products or that this will automatically improve security. The point is that it's a single option that's easier to manage.

Outside of security, this also applies to cooperation between MS and Github teams. Teams helps with keeping common calendars, meeting invites, recordings and transcripts. Having more tools means that an adapter needs to exist between them and might be disincentivising communication, since engineers would prefer to work on their tasks rather than work around fixing soft problems.
Inelastic demand is one oft cited trait.
The problem with Artificial "Intelligence" is that it really has no intelligence at all. Intelligence requires understanding, and AI doesn't understand either the data fed into it or the responses it gives.

Yet because these tools output confident, plausible-sounding answers with a professional tone (which may even be correct a majority of the time), they give a strong illusion of being reliable.

What will be the result of the current push of GPT AI into the mainstream? If people start relying on it for things like summarizing articles and scientific papers, how many wrong conclusions will be reached as a result? God help us if doctors and engineers start making critical decisions based on generative AI answers.
I don't understand how this could be true: can't you just charge fees for the things which require your effort? Tether, for example, charges 0.1% for every withdrawal.

> easily portray smart characters

I don't think it is possible for people to emulate the behavior of superintelligent beings. In every story about them, they appear to not actually be any smarter than us.

There is one exception - Brainwave by Poul Anderson. He had the only credible (to me) take on what super intelligent people might be like.
> We need a secondary "reasoning" AI that can process the GPT further

We also need "accountability" and "consequences" for the AI, whatever that means (we'd first have to define what "desire" means for it).

In the example from the article, the Bing GPT completely misrepresented the financial results of a company. A human finance journalist wouldn't misrepresent those results due to fear for their loss of reputation, and their desire for fame, money, and acceptance. None of those needs exist for an LLM.
