> “ID scanning will be a huge deterrent”

Oh, this will be a huge deterrent, alright, just probably not in the way that you’re thinking.
This paper basically says that:

> general intelligence may depend on system-wide network mechanisms, suggesting that local representations are necessary but not sufficient to account for the neural architecture of human intelligence.

> Our findings provide evidence for the importance of both localized lateral PFC connectivity and global functional brain network connectivity

This reminds me of the thousand brains theory by Jeff Hawkins. (https://www.numenta.com/blog/2019/01/16/the-thousand-brains-...)

So his paper is maybe one evidence towards this theory?

I'm actually more interested in actual theories or models of neuronal intelligence. This paper does not really propose any new theory or model but just observes, as most such papers do. Which is also important, of course, but I just find less exciting. Of course, just a theory or model in itself is also not interesting, but it becomes interesting when (not necessarily both):

- You can experimentally show that it is powerful (ignoring whether it is really biological accurate), e.g. all the current deep learning models, GPT and co.

- You have evidence that it is biologically accurate.

This paper mentions Process Overlap Theory (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1047840X.2016.11...) and Network Neuroscience Theory (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136466131...). I don't really know these, but I guess those are an interesting read.
I joined LinkedIn two weeks ago for the first time and have never used it before. It feels very much like Facebook to me with a touch of business-LARPing.
the problem really is that ChatGPT writes things based on what is most likely given what it wrote before and what the input is, so what are the possible error scenarios:

1. making a mistake in this part is really common, ChatGPT makes common mistake.

2. you have uncommon situation affecting here, ChatGPT ignores and writes things that cause you to get in trouble, or it writes things that cause you to pay more than you should.

Also the longer is goes on writing things the more likely that things it writes does not hang together with the past things it wrote, when a human lies they try to make their lies at least follow a sensible pattern. ChatGPT would be likely to get you flagged for audits because you can't be sure that what it wrote on page 1 jibes with what it writes on page 3.

Excellent insights!
Indeed, I'd rather have a single version of a truth most people can agree on, rather than thousands of bubbles each spewing their own agenda.
Chrome need a "view source" equivalent for extensions.

If should be just as easy to inspect extensions as it is for web pages, including all the network requests they have made.
Gaslighting is just a term for a social interaction that didn't exist in our vocabulary before. That's it. Which is different than terms like 'woke' for which we have different connotations and contexts.
What's the point of listening to 3 books per day? You need time to digest the ideas in a book.

Sometimes I listen to one chapter in a book and I need a whole day to digest it: I get into a state where I don't want to listen to _any_ music, etc.
Is your answer giving any insight to OP on how they should do it?
Top tax bracket at &euro;69k is 49,5% so someone could very well cut 20% of their hours and only lose 10% salary.
True. I'm not in VC or anything, just a regular engineer.

I've been considering ditching LinkedIn altogether for many months now, due to increased rubbish content. The only bit I'd miss is to be able to look into others profiles to basically access their CVs.

I wonder if there in an opportunity for a paid solution for something which is "the old Linkedin" which means your online CV with very limited social stuff... perhaps some text messaging and that's all.

Interesting. I kinda expected more traffic. 20 edits/s, 100k request/s. One tuned box could handle that
It is also my experience that somewhere between 80k€ and 100k€ there is a magical barrier for 99% of all companies in Germany. Even if you are a senior. The only real chance to go above is a leading role. Of course there are some (but very few) exceptions.
Wait, I’m not following this article. Here is a very biased view from an enterprise usage perspective. The value IMO of GPT is that it’s architecture allows it to analyze and understand large amounts of text data in real time, making it an incredibly useful tool for data analysis and decision-making.

Were are we commming from, current AI and data analytics platforms had many faults, but their biggest problem was performance. These systems arae often slow and cumbersome, which make it difficult to analyze large data sets in real time. GPT tech overcomes these challenges by leveraging deep learning that allow it for process of large volumes of data quickly and efficiently. Most of the inherent cost comes at the training period.

Currently, at the enterprise level organizations still have many challenges when it comes to data management. For example, many organizations struggle with data silos, where different departments have their own data sets that aren't easily shared or integrated. This can lead to inefficiencies and make it difficult to get a complete view of the business. Not to mention the data confidence issues that arise when you cross correlate some of the data.

However, I feel like GPT can help organizations better understand customer behavior, identify trends, and make more informed business decisions. Tech like GPT can help organizations automate many repetitive tasks and improve data quality as the data treatment would can apply AI based data quality standards. Single source of truth.

One key area of benefits is that GPT tech can enable natural language processing (NLP) tools like sentiment analysis and entity recognition can be used in conjunction with GPT to provide even deeper insights into customer behavior and preferences. Similarly, machine learning tools can be used to help train and optimize GPT models for specific use cases.

In practice, adopting GPT at scale, some technologies will become redundant or obsolete. For example, traditional rule-based systems may no longer be needed if GPT can provide more accurate and nuanced insights. Why run structured databases except to capture transactions? IMO, there are many solutions that are in reality just a data schema play, that is, they create the schema and the BI to capture aand transform the data to make sence of it otherwise, these technologies, again assuming wide adoption of GPT tech are at the birth of obeselence.
Exactly. The HTTP standard doesn't really mention HTML, except tangentially in examples. And regarding cookies, there are even people who use cookies in RPC contexts, but this is rather rare, and as you said, entirely optional.

Also, as a minor point, even when browsing the web, a minority of the actual requests deliver HTML -- most of them are for various kinds of media referenced by the HTML document.
TDD = Test Driven Development

It's not comprehensive documentation, it's a process of software development.
Start with the most simple test first, make it green via the most simple implementation, refactor. (Red/Green/Refactor).
Repeat until you can not adjust your tests/specs and implementation anymore.

Doing TDD you'll not create comprehensive documentation upfront but will switch your testing- and implementation-hat every few minutes.
Not an individual, but an agency working with international clients from India on team augmentation/ build your team basis.

In last June - we had 6 clients for whom 30 engineers were working.
All our clients downsized on external consultants & we had to let go some of the people.
Six months of daily is practice is a tolling amount of grinding before knowing if it works, for an ADD person...
True but not only management is to blame. Proper agile requires a certain amount of common sense and a willingness to spend some thought on improving the process.
There is a group of developers that are either not able or not willing to think about these things. This group just wants a set of rules that tells them exactly what to do in every situation so they can switch off their brains, don't have to carry any responsibility and just do what they are told.
>audiobooks, it's too easy to become too "performance-oriented" when reading something. Meaning that ticking the box "achievement unlocked, read another book" becomes more important than what you really get out of the book. Did you now retain as much information as possible?

You're expressing a common skepticism of 2x+ speedup but it misunderstands why people do it. It actually improves the presentation to 200+ wpm so the brain is more receptive to learning. The slower ~100 wpm (i.e. 1x speed) acted as a barrier to learning. I tried to explain the 2x+ advantage previously and how blind people had utilized this technique years before the general public did:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29661550

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29660750

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29665690

The motivations for speedup mostly applies to non-fiction audiobooks. For fiction, you may deliberately leave it at 1x because you want the deliberate pacing of the voice acting in addition to the info conveyed by the bare text.

Audio playback speed adjustment is just a tool. If you're a musician trying to learn a complicated guitar lick or drum fill, slow the music down to 0.5x or even 0.25x if that helps unlock it. If you're listening to Lord of the Rings, then playing it at 1x seems very reasonable. If you're listening to a speaker discussing inflation for an hour but keep tuning out because he talks too slow, speed him up to 4x if you have to so the information is presented at the higher speed your that brain prefers receiving it.

EDIT to replies to clarify "The slower ~100 wpm (i.e. 1x speed) acted as a barrier to learning."

This statement in isolation looks like an absolute science claim that 1x causes "zero learning" but of course that wasn't what I was saying. The context is "barrier to _optimal_ learning" for that particular reader. If 1x is too slow and makes some readers not stay mentally engaged, or abandon audiobooks, or leave podcasts/lectures in the queue and never listen to them, that's the "barrier to learning" that I'm trying to convey.

Likewise, if one needs to slow it down to 1/2 speed to comprehend difficult-to-parse text, that also meant 1x was too fast and also a barrier to optimal learning.
Because it's clickbait. It's really that simple.
I think most people would agree that government can enable, and can definitely disable, capitalism. Presumably by definition anarcho-capitalists don't (and to some extent they might be right, but not in many cases), but I don't understand why you're saying that here.

> For every socialist government failure (like Holodomor or Great Chinese Famine) there is a capitalist government failure (Irish Potato Famine or Bengal Famines).

The main cause of the potato famine was biological. The contributing factor I think you're referring to was liberty: farmers could sell potatoes overseas instead of to their starving kin.

The British government could've removed liberty, and seized the potatoes and ordered them to remain in Ireland, or, I would say, the British government could've worked within the liberty/capitalist system and have simply bought the potatoes at market rate and kept them in Ireland. They did neither.

The difference with the Great Chinese Famine was that - of course - the central bureaurocracy was actively involved in making farming terrible. It wasn't a failure to do something to help; it was a failure of doing the wrong thing. The blight wasn't biological; it was ideological.
I agree this is one of the biggest weak points of Bazel. It lacks a distribution that provides all these goodies out of the box, with maintained and documented workflows. Setting up hermetic builds and remote caches, builds & execution requires a whole team of experts right now.

Yep, me too. The recipe I was drinking had a high amount of potassium in it. There isn’t a strict guideline on how much potassium you should consume, so there tends to be plenty of it in soylent or similar drinks/powders (I’m not sure I actually ever checked official soylent, but those available to me at the time) for some reason probably due to manufacturing convenience.

I always figured it was this high potassium content that caused heart problems for some. Gave up on the concept after realising this and the heart issue never going away.
Waterfall was good in a time where requirements were more static. It's not great when you don't know the requirements fully or they may change during the project.

I'm not a fan of agile either though. I'm not a team player and agile is way too heavy on the framework side for me. Too many procedures and too much fuss around the work. Just give me a task and let me get on with it. But some parts of it are ok like close collaboration with the (internal) client.

Luckily I work for a company that thinks logging our hours in Jira means we're agile so I don't really have a lot to do with it.
Good one, House.

Uh? If anything wikipedia is robust because their tech stack isn't modern.

So. Assuming we are talking about non fiction. Why would you read a book that you don't really expect to learn anything new from?

Further, your supposed use case of audio books is when you're driving, when most of your attention should be spent... Driving.

As for fiction, efficiency totally misses the point. Efficiency isn't reading Harry potter as fast as possible. Efficiency is not reading it at all.

My most charitable interpretation is that we just have different aims when it comes to consuming literature, but that still leads back to the ops point that this is basically the gamification of book reading.
The problem being you need all governments on planet earth to agree to that simultaneously, which you're not getting.
I love listening to audiobooks at 1.5x-2x speed while I'm walking outside. I can get through 100 books a year this way. Of course I don't take notes or think deeply about the content. Who needs that? In fact, I have no idea which books I've read this year! Or last year! All I want is cross stuff off my vanity to-do list consisting of books collected from HN and get a feeling of accomplishment. And I can tell others about it! 100 books a year! /s

Exactly. So much is broken because of misunderstood UX design.

Today I was again reminded that many years ago some UX designer thought it would be a great idea to remove back/forward buttons from the context menu in Firefox if I accidentally select some text on a page I visit.

No one was asked and when someone filed a bug it was ignored because ux designers had already decided.

Result:

- a few times every month back/ forward buttons are missing

- the look and feel of the context menu changes for no good reason

I was in the first cohort of the first digital imaging and technology program in Canada, almost 20 years ago. Our final year the short that won was a young child playing in a puddle in front of an anti-abortion protest, it was great, thought provoking, and really well timed... we thought. After it was announced as winning, we found out that the creator had gone out and shot the protest, and then the next week gone out and shot a toddler playing then digitally combined them. There was an outcry from my peers who thought it was deceptive, but our dean said "The most creative people simply to the best job of hiding the source of their creativity". AI or not, they're good images, deception in art has been going on since forever.

I'm curious if the little stories he writes that go with them are LLM generated, he doesn't specifically say in the article.

You're describing almost every paywalled news site ever. This is also how browser extensions can present the information without paying for a subscription.

I do this, because I like dumb solutions. This, along with challenging assumptions, is basically how I debug. I love git bisect, a lot of people don't even know it's there.

I'll note that, when pair programming, the people who sit and reason about the code often outperform me, so the way I look at it I'm trading time against complexity.
Is there a music recommendation (service –| server –| program) that works?
Once upon a time, Spotify made good recommendations to me, but lately, they just want to shove as much Fleetwood Mac at me as they can, to the point that I had to ban the band from my feed (I like them fine, but not once have I chosen to play them, so WHY do they keep showing up?).

I do like the idea of discovering artists via a machine that pays attention to what I enjoy and finds more like it, with no agenda (ie, a need to make money from the process itself) of its own.

Does such a machine exist on the current internet?

I am willing to pay a monthly fee (with or without streamed music, but again, I would be paying because I am receiving a "pure" recommendation service that is not influenced by anything other than my choices), or setup a program or server, whatever is necessary. I just want a thing that clues me in on whatever is new in the world that sounds like my kind of thing.
I upvoted your comment because it challenges the assumption that Linux is The Only Possible Platform.

Reflecting on this assumption, I realize that Linux is the most widely supported platform to which the Raspberry Pi Foundation can retain some measure of control.

Some. But the Foundation can't fund the development of all the software, and their tweaked Linux is good enough for them, so that's what we've got.

> I wonder if it will have to make a "BTC is a store of value a la gold"-esque marketing pivot too.

I think it's already happening. Fully autonomous cars or a Bing-like AI that is actually reliable are probably still decades away, if ever possible.

Instead, AI related companies are already pivoting towards enabling and assisting humans for specific use cases.

E.g. „We'll have LIDAR-based crash prevention and assisted driving in most new cars by 2030“ instead of „We'll have fully autonomous driving within the next years“ or „This AI based tool will reliably summarize key investor information from quarterly reports“ instead of „Ask this AI anything“.
100 books a year? Those are rookie numbers!

Don't forget that you have two ears, why not listen to two books simultaneously? Left ear can have personal life hack books and right ear can have business books
I do understand the frustrations of SO. All laid out with good examples by OP.

But the point :

> I've finally decided to cancel my SO account, to add it to my hosts block list, and to block SO results from Google using an extension.

This feels like the OP is just being spiteful. Love it or hate it, SO is a significant aid for developers and engineers of all levels. Simply blocking it because of some bad experiences trying to contribute seems really petty.

Yes. Most people are lazy. Make sure you get 8-9 hours of sleep, prep your meals for the day, and slowly increase the number of focused hours over time (progressive overload). "Burnout" is a myth if you focus on good recovery. (of course this doesn't apply to everyone, as some people may have certain medical conditions or other important commitments)
