I was estimating more than 1 hour to read it properly. Since you did it in only 1 hour that’s encouraging me to try tomorrow or another day.

I can’t comprehend how ChatGPT can keep such incredible internal state and I’m hoping Wolfram might have some ideas in this post. For instance try the prompt that turns it into a linux terminal and it can closely “hallucinate” approximately the correct changes in state to the host after the commands but long long after the command occurred in the dialogue. To me this shows it extends beyond human language.
you.com it allows you to customize it to some extend.
Hrm, yea, sorry Steve but your dodgy practices mean that I'm not going to touch this with a barge pole.
If it can produce the current results without anything like a brain - which it does - I don't see how knowing that its 100x better at pulling shit out of its ass is going to make the experience better. Yes it will become impossible to tell by talking to it that has no brain; but since we know the path that brought it there included no brains at all, it would be a mistake to think we've realized General AI. Until it actually creates some substantiative achievement, such as designing a workable cold fusion setup I'm not going to recognize it as a super-intelligence.
Have tried, it's literally impossible for me to do it. I must be on some kind of internal blacklist. It's the only experience I've ever had with a company that took my details and refuses to explain why they won't let me have an account.

Linode was my second VPS provider.

My first was Slicehost. I remember the big Slicehost vs Linode wars.
Yeah once DigitalOcean launched it made Linode feel more folksy, to me at least. I swapped basically immediately and have been a customer since.
Every comment here is wrong, which is typical for an advertising related thread on HN. Here's the actual reason:

1) Apple made a change last year (in ios 14.5) that neutered the ability for platforms to track results from mobile advertising.

2) This fucked ad targeting for pretty much everyone that relies on mobile web and apps (fb, tiktok, snap, etc)

3) Products that require good targeting to be profitable became harder to promote (like all b2b advertising, niche needs and hobbies ,etc) so more ads are ones that appeal to the average person, which means more teeth whitening strips, weight loss solutions, etc.
I’m only a consumer of GPT.

Any pointers as to where someone like me with software engineering experience but literally no AI knowledge can train my own GPT on my own data sets?

In my case I have downloaded some public domain databases (1-7gb each) and I would like to get some additional insights out of them. I have been querying them and using them to build my company but I’m curious to know if GPT can help me in that regard.

> I'm referring to writing very large, complex programs

Then the power of good abstractions should be all the more useful!

> that interact directly with hardware

OK if you are using various privileged instructions, writing things with weird calling conventions like interrupt handlers, etc. Then the assembly matters.

But, and this may sound heretical, this stuff is the boundary of the lower level code; its interface with the hardware. For the interior, the precise assembly once again doesn't matter.

> And I say this with many years of experience dealing with other companies badly written device drivers and firmware.

There is a lot of crap low level code out there, yes. And I would say a chief mistake of crap code is not properly respecting layers of abstraction. The low level world needs more http://langsec.org/ where we precisely and mechanistically document the interface, rather than half-assing it with reference implementations.

Just as user space weird instructions get intrinsics exposed to spare the user from writing inline assembly, libraries like https://docs.rs/x86/latest/x86/ should be maintained the device manufacturer or ISA consortium. They should be unit-tested with an emulator too.

We properly do all this legwork to fix the foundation, and the rest of the low-level software will practical write itself, compared to today, and be accessible to a much larger pool of programmers.
At a guess, that would be this freeware util[1], which looks like a Win-only and slightly spiffier version of Namebench[2].

> A dedicated mail client, imo, is always going to be […] more performant than a web browser for the purpose of mail tasks.

Counterexample: Thunderbird. I recently tried TB based clients, and then TB directly to see if it already has those issues. And it turns out, it does. Interacting feels sluggish (not on a resource constrained device, Win 11, 32 GB RAM, Ryzen 5 3600).

Now Outlook (which I use for work and was the reason I wanted to get a unified client for everything) is a bit faster than the MS web interface (or the horribly slow Gmail one), but the fastmail interface is faster than all of those.

I've always been curious why people so fervently dislike Gibson. I think the most genuine criticism is that Spin-Rite is not a backup solution and people may rely on it as such. Ideally, no one should need it since all data should be replicated and backed up. Any drive can fail at any time for any reason and it may be totally unrecoverable.

Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down.

> When I think Linode, I think developer, small consultancy, etc. When I think Akamai, I think enterprise.

Yes, they're clearly trying to sell cloud services into their enterprise customers.

Because small developers/consultancies have small pockets, and enterprises have large ones.

It makes perfect sense as business strategy.

But it requires understanding that you don't matter to them (you are not the main character of Akamai's story/strategy).

Although it does mean I'll probably need to consider moving clouds myself finally after a decade, because the writing has to pretty much be on the wall at this point that they're not going to want me as a customer...
What if you come from a broken home and didn't have contact with one side of your family? You may discover later in life that you have a different ethnic/racial heritage than what society ascribed to you based on your skin color.
Really interesting! I like where this is going even though i'm not sure the particular use case is that useful. Generating content for list views is marginally useful; being able to generate UI components for full web/mobile app experiences is a must have.

Suppose I'm a founder/PM who wants to design a crypto app with fiat on-ramp/off-ramp. Before the app is built, initial thought must be given to what's important to the user. Once established, a prioritization of UI elements is made and designer implements them. Now imagine if I write this as a GPT prompt and get back 20 different designs, choosing between 30+ UI elements. Almost like a Pinterest board for UX designs from a single prompt. This visual experience inspires me to tradeoff decisions quicker and thereby ship faster.
It's actually pretty easy to break out of, historically two party democracies aren't very common. Just need a war or revolution. Now breaking it out of it without majorly messing up things for a lot of the populace, that's a little harder, but once things are already pretty awful for 98% of people a revolution starts being more realistic

It doesn't appear vinyl chloride wants to stay in water, based on the numbers I'm seeing (https://semspub.epa.gov/work/05/437069.pdf). The instances of vinyl chloride contamination tend to be from an actively-producing source, like a plant with a leak.

Most Americans probably either don't care or fundamentally disagree with the right of Nazis to say shit, but the legal system prioritizes consistency and their specific brand of morality over the public desire, that's why we have law and not chaotic lynch mobs.

That's a bold assumption. I'd assume that very few people would sign up for a job under a dude who basically just lit $30B on fire and told his employees to sleep in the office - especially if they had other options.

I've thought about this a bunch. While endless variables I suspect the key one for HN is controlling the posts and the front page.

The more in depth technical & startup focused they are, and the lower the ratio of more community/political/front page news topics the less you are going to attract 'the downgrading type'. If a good ratio of the front page is for lack of a better examples, 'technical debates on java vs python' or 'algorithms you admire' its going to steer a bunch of people away, and probably the people you dont want for the more general conversations.

That said, I really enjoy the current news topics being discussed here as on the whole you get interesting takes, but the more you open that door, the more it will attract people focused on that side of life than tech/startup and the decline happens.

The other though I've had on this is rather than a voting up/down system, put a few checkbox tick/cross options for things like: adds value, polite, fact based, funny and 1) run user/page scoring algorithms on those plus 2) Have a exam for rules and maybe general knowledge for people that either have many negatives or vote in ways that dont support community rules/values. I suspect it would just steer people away in but Id be interested in seeing it tried and if it steered away the chaff alone, or everyone.

Yammer runs in the background while you work and feeds all your mouse movements and keystrokes into a machine learning model. For the first few months it does nothing, but soon you start noticing that one of your tedious tasks was completed and you didn't remember doing it. Did Yammer do it while you went for a coffee?

Soon, your workload starts to feel like it's slowing down, and you're meeting all your commitments with time to spare. Your line manager praises you in 1:1s for tasks you don't even remember completing. Was it Yammer?

One day, you position yourself just outside of the field of vision of the laptop camera and wait. And wait. There! The mouse pointer is moving on its own! Yammer has learned how you complete tasks and it is doing your job for you! Wonderful!

You walk into the office the next day with a spring in your step, ready to take on the world. Your line manager taps you on the shoulder and beckons you towards a room. HR are sitting on the other side of the table with some papers in their hands. You take a seat.

Linode was one of the OG providers back in 2000s.

Akamai is basically buying exposure with this logo change. Linode is resold as managed service quite a lot, including Cloudways which was acquired by DigitalOcean.
Data is still the new oil. Sleeping giants Apple and Microsoft have properties with hoards of data and captive users. Apple has somewhat successfully convinced its users that all their data is safe with Apple. Their tactics to lock out data competitors is working which makes theirs more valuable. I think we will see them soon capitalize on this.
I wonder how employees feel about that change and how they feel since the acquisition. A key determinant in whether I stay with Akamai or not is if I know there are competent developers behind the cloud that care and would use the service. Other determinants: simplicity, performance in the UI and pricing that makes sense for an individual developer.

It feels like Linode was small enough to care, which was a key differentiator with other cloud offerings. Now, that advantage is gone with a major name like Akamai. On the other hand, it might be easier to convince people to consider Linode's platform as an alternative to other more expensive clouds.
