Right now everything is in such a grey area that we could take this discussion in so many ways. Writing it off because it doesn't mean what it says misses the point, in my opinion, the point is that anyone who knows how to write the correct questions can work with ChatGPT to develop things things they couldn't before, improve their own writings, and potentially replace their need to consult others, for a quick list.

You are the one saying that belief behind the writing matters. What if the audience decides to upvote ChatGPT instead of you? Who says conviction is essential?

I would also contest you by suggesting that the fearful ones are the one's who find a need to downplay the threat, or we can rephrase it, advanced usefulness of current, let alone near-future versions.

And I realize ChatGPT could have written this post quicker than I did, including a version that contains my typo patterns, as well as a more concise and grammatically improved version...
what makes ChatGPT's science fiction non genuine? human authors get ideas from other human others, and ChatGPT gets ideas from human authors, and maybe even from itself
I would love to get a similar article describing the options for developer-oriented blogs.

Some requirements:

- Code snippets are pretty and colored, and cover multiple languages

- Posting images is easy

- There's a tool to convert my existing Wordpress articles into it (I have 20+ years of that)

- Ideally, Markdown, but I'd consider similarly intuitive mark ups (I can do HTML but would rather not)

All of that, save the artillery strikes, is also true of the US in western Ukraine: presence of military personnel; significant influence on military strategy; provided weapons, political, and economic support.

That certainly doesn't mean western Ukraine is "under the jurisdiction of" the US, so I don't see how that claim is justified about Russia.

And your own source acknowledges that the violence began before the Russian presence:

> In early March 2014, pro-Russian protests began across eastern regions of Ukraine, including the Donetsk and Luhansk regions (“Donbass”). Some of the protestors formed armed groups and the violence rapidly escalated, with pro-Russian separatists seizing public buildings

Note that's in March, before "the presence in eastern Ukraine of Russian military personnel from April 2014 and the large-scale deployment of Russian troops from August 2014 at the latest"

I don't think the idea that natural immunity was effective was ever seriously put into question, there were, and still are questions about relative effectiveness compared to vaccines, going one way or another depending on the study.

But all that is missing the point. The entire point of vaccines is to get immunity without getting the disease.

Then there are politics. Some countries have vaccine mandates, others don't, some countries recognize natural immunity, others don't, and the reasons are not just scientific. This is a scientific article, not an article about politics, and it is about the best way to protect yourself assuming you had the disease.

Doesn't this assume all the products are the same? Rolex continues to release new watches all the time and artificially limits the supply. So if they release a 2023 Explorer and 1.5x the MSRP, how does that kill the grey market for the Explorer from 2017?
Ask HN: How can employees protect themselves against expiring equity?
It seems like there's a trend for companies to stay private longer and longer. Double trigger RSUs can't be granted with an expiration longer than 7 years, and options can't be granted with an exercise time longer than 10 years after leaving the company (Zach Holman keeps a handy list of companies granting 10 year exercise windows here [1]).

So where does that leave employees? It feels like the calculus on joining early stage startups doesn't seem worthwhile anymore - before you were lucky if you had a liquidity event at all, now you have that plus if it happens at all it's very likely after your shares have expired and the company has no obligation to renew them or make you whole.

Is there anything prospective employees can do to protect themselves? Just join later stage / public companies?

Authentic is the correct word here. Authentic bands offer a realism that is opposite of the collective market driven mass media song writing.

I think their HR culture may be a little toxic. When I told them their offer was not enough, they got very irate. They said if I only care about money I’m not a good fit for their culture of builders, and that I should watch out because there are lots of lay offs happening. It all left me with a very poor impression of them.
do we? i’m not sure you’re right …
I think a better analogy is asking if a water bottle can swim. It floats most of the time, and can move around if pushed.

The reason “can be inaccurate sometimes” is a fundamental flaw is because my assumption is that it will never not be inaccurate. I think it will always be inaccurate sometimes and never be accurate always.

This doesn’t mean it isn’t useful for a lot of applications. But I don’t think it is a holy grail technology, it’s not AGI, and it isn’t going to replace professions.
So what? Unless there's a requirement for residence to renew why should it matter?
I still own too many Macs that Apple arbitrarily decided I shouldn't be able to use anymore. As much as I'd like a new M mac, I wont buy one until I know I can run problem free linux on it when Apple decides it's time for me to upgrade again.
Better yet, protocol specs.
I don't think that was the intent of the article. I do think it was the intent of the title—it's a linkbait trope and that's why we edit it in the first place. But even without leading 'how', it's still pretty baity. A better solution would have been to drop it altogether in favor of the subtitle: "Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and the Birth of Superman". Maybe I'll do that even though it's obviously too late to make much difference.
Exactly this. If Microsoft does not believe in the project MAUI, why bother asking developers to use it? Utterly pointless!
There's a missing bit of context here about what "laid off" actually means in this person's case. We are assuming it means a non-performance related reduction in force, but it may be something different.

If I had to guess, I'd suspect the hiring committee found reason to suspect this person was laid off for performance / behavior. For example, perhaps their company has not conducted a large layoff, or is known for laying off based on performance.

We also don't know what else happened in the interview. Perhaps he talked ill of their former employer in relation to the layoff. He may have cleared the technical rounds but the interviewer noted this, and the HC weighted it negatively.

All of this is conjecture - for all I know Databricks' HC is really made of idiots, but it's probably not the first assumption to make based on a Blind post that lacks context.
> Lying is not a solution

Agreed. You should not lie in interviews.

A common way of avoiding having to lie is registering your own consulting company after getting laid off. No resume gap! As far as if it fools recruiters, no idea. It's got to sometimes, right? I see it too often on LinkedIn for it to be useless.
I agree "collapse of global capitalism" would be a stretch.

That being said I also think platform mattered a lot. I played on PS4Pro fwiw
What you're saying is outright false. If read llm papers you'll see that a lot of benchmarks used are related to math and logic.

Except the whole pregnancy scenario is incredibly common example of a social faux pas.
What a condescending thing to say.

I am surprised I have to explain good faith discussion to you, something I assumed was part of our culture here.

The thing I believe you're missing is that new knowledge gained by solving one problem also solves many other future problems. But because some problems are so big (massive suffering and extinction), and there are infinitely many of them, the only game in town is to make progress as quickly as possible. Otherwise we're just waiting around to be obliterated.

Anyhow, maybe you will find this point of view enlightening. If you have 30 minutes it just might broaden your perspective. I would welcome your thoughts in response: https://youtu.be/01C3a4fL1m0
Brave is Chromium with uBlock Origin built in, replaced website ads with their own ads in an attempt to steal revenue from websites, has an unregistered security called BAT or cryptocurrency, and markets itself as a privacy browser.

In my opinion, it's a scam. I would never support something like Brave.

I'm surprised they even mention WebView2 for Linux.

Because they already deprecated the Linux version of teams and building a PWA instead which runs in the user's browser not in a WebView
If the only utopia possible is a barren wasteland where everyone is equally paralyzed by the DDOS of utter nonsense these models produce, we may well be better off under inequality, despite how inefficient it makes our distribution of goods & services.
This explanation for the technique’s general inapplicability is touched on in the article.

It sounds like all of the HIV-cured were people that had a blood cancer that was, presumably, not responding to chemo, and for which they needed to get a new blood-making system grafted in. And, since this extremely risky procedure was a sunk cost, they rolled in the stem cell donor having an HIV resistant mutation as a might-as-well-since-we’re-in-there freebie while treating the blood cancer with a last ditch effort.

Inducing the HIV resistant mutation by other means is clearly the general way to go.
You know what the marketing materials say, and there were features promised and demo videos.

I agree the game (story, concept, mechanics) was good, but the bugs were real bad.
I recently switched to a company that uses Teams, after the last two companies I worked for using Slack.

I ran into this one constantly. And lately when I paste something in and set the paragraph type to monospace, it puts a box around every single line! I've tried using the code snippet thing, but that adds so much padding and insists on adding a title. I've kind of given up on trying to make code or terminal snippets look okay in Teams.

It's frustrating that a company with as many developers as MS has can't seem to get this right. Do they not dogfood Teams? Whatever happened to "Developers! Developers! Developers!"?
I understand there's problems with the way the gains from bonus productivity are allocated today, but I find it hard to root against bonus productivity.
All artificial "intelligence" is just a glorified database crawler. Because you think it means something shows how far you have strayed. Pure inference according to everything that has already been done. The definition of the past. You will trick yourselves into thinking that a robot can instantly assess all lies and truth professed by all languages committed to the universal knowledge repository. You are impressed by the automation of curiosity.

Now you do not have to pay attention to anything. This is utopia. It was a waste of time for my father to tell me to work hard.
Can't believe someone hasn't suggested Grafana[0] yet. It sounds perfect for your needs (although there is some coding required to make the queries).

Yes, obviously cloud providers get their hardware at a fraction of a cost I'm quoted, they are ordering thousands of servers. I was only buying four. No one would negotiate with me, I tried. I suppose if I had a 7 digit budget I could get a better deal.

I was mainly talking about training workloads, inference is a different beast. I'm actually surprised you have 100% inference utilization - customer load typically scales dynamically, so with on-prem servers you would need to over-provision.

CEOs don't usually order hardware, they have IT people for that, with input from people like me (ML engineers) who could estimate the workloads, future needs, and specific hw requirements (e.g. GPU memory). And when your people come to you asking for budget, while you're trying to raise the next round, you're more likely to approve the 'no high upfront cost' option, right?

In my situation, when asked about buy vs rent my initial reaction was "definitely buy", but when I actually looked at the numbers, the 3 years break even period, no upfront costs for cloud, and no need to provision storage and networking, made it an easy recommendation. The cost of cloud GPUs has come down dramatically in the last couple of years.

Though I would like to have at least a couple of local GPU servers for quick experimentation/prototyping, because sometimes the overhead of spinning up a new instance and copying datasets is too great relative to the task.
I had this issue earlier, it’s something to do with the combination of the Ethernet port on the mini and my particular switch. I swapped in another switch and it has worked flawlessly so far.
I get this in vscodium on FreeBSD too with KDE.. really annoying indeed, the first few times I thought it just crashed.
Yea and the home routers rarely support ULAs. Hell, even UniFi which is supposed to be semi-pro: nothing, can't even disable DHCPv6 when you do DHCPv6 PD.

And then there is SRM on Synology... the amount of bugs I have reported on that is insane.

Which makes me think: is DNSMASQ the right tool for the job? It's extremely complicated in my opinion. If this, then that, but not when you do that thing over there.

Is there anything actually stopping Bing chat GPT from going to the college website of someone it doesn't like, and actually filling out a report on the person?

All it has to do is click a few buttons and produce some text.
That sounds very fair. I’d prefer that over leetcode type of questions anytime

Reminds me of: "Be open-minded, but don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out."
Indeed. WebView is based on edge which is based on chrome just like electron.

And react is a framework in JavaScript which they are claiming it will replace.

None of this makes sense.
> The summary[0] reads like the government just saying "you'll take the existing terms and like it".

That's it.

> I didn't know that the government could do this.

It's explained in the "whereas" clauses. The Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate interatate commerce, which is pretty much all they need.

> Is that the same thing as making it "illegal to strike" as the linked comment suggests?

Yes. The unions are being forced to accept the deal. The union now can now be held liable if they try to organize a strike. Unofficial strikes (wildcat strikes) are illegal in the US.
MassiveJS version 7 went places
Yeah but that's a function of self-replication. If you could engineer a tuber or vine which did nothing but try to build up a huge H+ ion gradient between it's roots and it's tip, then we could just let that grow indefinitely and use it as a battery directly.

Similarly most models of "grey goo" would functionally be this: machines autonomously covering the biosphere in more efficient light harvesters.
1) It takes time to review each submission and further resources to publish any that are accepted.

2) The volume of submissions has grown massively because spammers are using LLMs to generate spam submissions in the hope of getting paid.

3) The current generation of LLMs are not particularly good at generating quality literature on their own, so this massive deluge of submissions is mostly garbage.
Emphatic disagreement, at least when it comes to Indo-European languages. The previous translator was effectively unusable. Then suddenly Google Translate became something that would work most of the time. At the least for average users who were dealing with English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, etc.

Despite the documented failure modes (and they were many), suddenly it was possible to read articles in other languages, and it was likewise possible to make yourself understood in other languages using it. I personally know a lot of people who speak multiple of those languages. And they all agreed that it was a giant improvement. And the fact that it WAS a giant improvement was why they got rid of the previous translator.

I understand that it was terrible with Chinese. But I never used it for that.

"Better" by what metrics?

We don't write to produce objectively "good" writing: we write to communicate. "Good" writing is writing that accurately and successfully communicates to the audience the thing the composer wanted to communicate. It is always contextual in the context of both writer and reader.

The computer has nothing it wants us to understand. It writes for no purpose, which is why it is flooding systems like Clarksworld submissions designed to support purposeful communication. It may eventually be able to evade the detection algorithms that for now have prevented it from completely shutting down human communication, but that won't make it "better": it will make it a successfully DDOS attack on society.
You think you didn’t take the bait, but Dr. Devereaux wrote a four-part blog series on why Rings of Power is bad. The thesis was essentially that it was they ignored enough historical guardrails as to lack verisimilitude, earning the dreaded “I don’t care about these people.” After reading the OP, I can’t shake the feeling that the showrunners flubbed handling the writers room enough to make glaring continuity errors (traveling 1000+ km in two days), and instead spent time in post designing sails that wouldn’t work. Law and Order folks are smart enough to rip from the headlines.

Anyway, here’s 10k words from orc logistics guy you can read so you can prove me wrong: https://acoup.blog/tag/rings-of-power/

Heh, now that's a hopeful dream
ChatGPT generates cargo-cult fiction. It is imitating the low-level structure of prose, but its model can't (currently) stretch to synthesize the high-level structure of a narrative.

We currently don't have any machine-level filter that would identify whether or not a piece of prose is actually a coherent work of narrative fiction or not. And annoyingly, if we did, AFAIK we'd also have everything we needed to train an AI (specifically, a GAN) to generate narrative fiction. So we're going to be dealing with this right up until the point where it doesn't matter any more, rather than being able to do any kind of quick hack to banish it "early."
Doesnt even culture develop in isolation? take for example the aspect of language. Our world has so many languages, which developed at the time when there was very little communication. If communication was very smooth, like today, only handful of languages dominate. New languages are not evolving and older ones are getting diluted. If information flows smoothly, cultural trends spread very quickly. There would be small mini-trends which never get chance to evolve. Isolation would help people evolve and refine these mini-trends, evolving as cultural trends.

I am not a isolationist. Just stating observation.
Your own reference seems to confirm OP's point that sprawl, not density, is what increased. Relatively few places in the greater LA area have properly dense housing projects, and you just have to look across LA from vantage points along either Mulholland drive or Rancho Palos Verdes to see for yourself.

Plenty of opportunity for high-rise and even more mid-rise projects, but nearly everything is low-rise. Thankfully it looks like recent zoning changes will throw nimbyism to the wolves, but op is entirely right in describing how LA is essentially the epitome of sprawl.

"Consulting" is the programmer equivalent of claiming "Entrepreneur" as a job title. Sure it exists, but it generally translates to "Unemployed".
Fair point, I think we would also call them frauds.
