But that's exactly what I'm saying? Do you believe such professionals to hit the nail on the head on the first try at the prompt? If it's complex enough, even mastery won't shield you from the need to experiment, and discard failed experiments. Looking at how it is for programmers, rewriting a single line of code multiple times is quite normal before arriving at something that works. And programming languages are artificial and much simpler than natural languages, so I suspect that it'll require even more experimentation during crafting of those prompts.
We all would do better to live as if disagreement isn't the end of the discussion, but the beginning of a negotiation.
I won’t pretend to understand what do people actually feel who really really need that, because I’m not one of them.

But I don’t get how one can justify enabling a person to to switch their gender before the age of consent, or driving license, drinking or voting thresholds. I mean, at least you can stop drinking or voting if you don’t like it, and the age thresholds for those activities are a bit higher than the age of 9.
People who work for political campaigns need to know, businesses and investors might like to plan, etc.
Hmm, it is time to live Cunningham's Law I think:

There’s no good way to do a do…while loop in Fortran, other than a goto.
Just because something isn't useful to everyone, doesn't mean it isn't useful to someone.

The original claim was that election prediction is useless -- are you willing to concede that election prediction isn't useless?
> Lab leak is a lab leak.

It’s an interesting question though. Working off of a lab leak theory, how did the first known cases all come from the wet market?

Is it just coincidence that an infected scientist traveled to the outdoor market and infected others?

With human to human transmission, you’d think it would have spread more rapidly among a scientist’s friends & family in an indoor setting.

When the US was doing contact tracing early on, I think the number of outdoor transmissions was extremely low.
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. Well, except for the furries; I recognise at least one username here from my IRC days.

I had a similar thing where I kept spelling things "folating" pallets instead of "floating". I kinda miss the days where floating pallets were a standard UI item.
The fuzzy hash table would use 8192 long token sequences of tokens as keys, and when requested to fetch a key, it would find the nearest keys and return that distribution. The internal representation of this hash table is a cloud of tokens in a 8192×sizeof(token) dimensional space.

The procedure of constructing this table would be just getting all the 1.5 trillion subsequences, each 8192 tokens long, and inserting it: table[seq8192] = token8193 (the next token). Arranging this data efficiently to allow fast lookups is the problem.
Ask HN: Who is working on WebGPT / Copilot for Google search?
Often when I look into things, I'll do some google searching (with 'reddit' appended to the end of the search, of course), read a bunch of reddit posts, look at which comments and posts seem legit, combine that into an assessment of what product I want to use (if it's a product research question) or what the answer is (if it's a general question).

This seems pretty possible with a GPT powered tool, now.

You could ask it a question, it then performs a bunch of searches, checks the results, assesses the results, and puts the most relevant stuff into a one page report.

I'm guessing a few HNers are working on this.

Who is working on it, and does anyone have a demo we can play with?
This is a fish don't know they are wet phenomena. Government protected free speech is taken for granted here that people cannot contemplate what it means for the rest of the world.
Not really. There's just as many opportunities in every age, it's just that you've been burned enough times to realize that the majority of opportunities are nothing of the sort.
> The abolition of modern virology, roll the clock back on them a hundred years.

This kind of sloppy hyperbole is tremendously damaging, feeding the false narrative that we must choose between the benefits of modern virology--smallpox wasn't eradicated until 1977!--and the catastrophic risks of experiments on novel potential pandemic pathogens.

Almost all modern virological research involves either existing pathogens already present in humans, or novel pathogens in systems incapable of replicating in humans. The WIV's research was a narrow exception, and one that was controversial long before this pandemic. For example, here's David Relman asking Ralph Baric a question about those risks, back in 2014:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw-nR6-4kQQ&t=2466s

That narrow area carries almost all the risk of a catastrophic research accident, and has yet to deliver any significant benefit. It could be banned with minimal impact on almost all modern virological research. That narrow regulation is what we need, and there are people (like the new NGO Protect Our Future) working to draft and enact it. Your conflation between modern virology in aggregate and that narrow area doesn't help them, and I hope you will stop.

He's quadrupling down on a catastrophic mistake, and it's too embarrassing not to, at least, attempt to make a phoenix rise from the ashes. You'd think he'd have seen the canary in the coal mine, but his bird brain failed to see it would be an albatross around his neck
In my experience with hotspots on the go, it's having to maintain the WiFi AP that kills their battery fast. Maybe there's a better protocol to run between the hotspot and other devices, although you'd need one that would also allow for 5G speeds.
I know he’s become YouTube hype bros favorite source for click bait videos, but the Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman has some great podcast episodes about sleep and also how weed/alcohol greatly impact it. I found it really insightful in terms of how even moderate use of alcohol/weed can greatly impact sleep quality.
I can't really tell what position you're arguing against here. I personally find the risk of GoF research to probably net out to "not worth it," but that's an entirely different conversation than "did Fauci cause this."

And no, it's nowhere near acceptable to just assume that every new virus is a lab leak. Especially when the subtext of this line of inquiry is usually that we're going to "hold 'them' accountable" somehow. Combine those two thoughts and you get something like, "anywhere that a novel virus appears in suddenly gets smacked by the international community," and I'm not sure you could create a stronger disincentive to early pathogen detection and alerting if you tried.

P.S. There's almost certainly not anywhere close to "tens of thousands" of BSL-3 labs. Probably in the few hundreds to maybe thousand or two, but that'd be a stretch, and "tens of thousands" is not supported by any data I can find: https://cset.georgetown.edu/publication/mapping-biosafety-le...
I've been 50 since I was 12. I wonder what will happen when my body catches up with my age.
There's also no drugs approved by the MHRA (the UK FDA equivalent) as "puberty blockers" it's purely off label use of cancer drugs.
ChatGPT taught me about vectors and other ways to dynamically create an array.
GOTO is like profanity: it can be useful when done sparingly, but your peers will start judging you if you rely on it too often.
Indeed, you don't need such a complicated theory. 3 doctors researching a coronavirus end up in a regional hospital, but before they get ID'd with a virus they interact with others in the local community helping it quietly spread among people with stronger immune systems.

It's a 45min drive between the Hunan market <> WIV building:

Disagree.

At this point, BTC is very much known for its extremely high volatility (source: look at the price history since inception).

There hasn't been a single year since it launched where it hasn't displayed outrageously wild swings: at this point, it's pretty clear that the wild volatility is an intrinsic attribute of this particular asset class.

Therefore: not a crash, just Bitcoin's business as usual.
“Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences” can just as easily be used to justify imprisoning critics of the government as it can to justify shunning people. Not all consequences are justified.

Plus, let’s be honest — most of the “consequences” of speech, like cancelling people, are not really targeted at the person being cancelled. They are really happening because people want to suppress speech they don’t like by scaring other people into silence.

Government is not the only source of oppression. We should be very careful about excusing social consequences for people speaking their mind, or we will lose free speech because of a cancel-culture mob mentality rather than because of government oppression. The end result is pretty much the same and we shouldn’t let it happen.
I have never read the Quran, so I couldn’t possibly comment. You seem to be a scholar in the Quran, and that too is admirable!

If there were a market for rewriting the Quran to eliminate aspects you find objectionable, you’re well within your rights to do so. No cultural heritage will be destroyed. The existing books still exist, and now your new version also exists.

In much the same way, the 007 paperbacks (yeah, the old school ones) will remain in some forgotten corner in my house probably until my kids have to clear it out. They’ll probably thumb through one and laugh at its outdated language and style. No one is coming to take the books away.
Not mine. My rotty left a massive smudge on a 32 inch screen when a lion crossed and she decided to attack or at least investigate. Now I have a german shepherd and a much bigger screen. She's not super into TV, but I'll catch her high focused and attentive to the screen from time to time. Just depends whats on.

Dogs are all different. That same rotty would chase flashlight. And that same flashlight is invisible to my german shepherd. Any toy or activity is going to vary dog to dog.
I do remember frequently getting tripped up on them right after undergrad. It's not friendly, and I don't ever wish to touch them again.

So it’s something bad from the undergrad past, no details. Must we take an advice based on that? I’m not sure I will.

I'm working in a C++ game engine project right now and it's constantly segfaulting. I can't imagine that setting register jumps manually in complex higher level code would improve my situation.

Neither would tabooing something based on weak or no evidence. “It doesn’t help here” and “we ban it and ostracize its use” are two different claims.
Just wanted to say thank you. your content was crucial in getting me to understand network programming and was crucial for my masters thesis. Your content has always been crisp, to the point and accesible. Keep it up!
If we were in a normal time period in history where "the left" was a lot closer to the classical liberal stance on speech (sort of an attitude of "I might hate what you say, but I must defend your right to say it") then I don't think as many people would bring up the problem of censorship so aggressively and repeatedly as there'd be significant pushback in institutions against speech restrictions.

But we're in an era where it certainly feels like some people are rushing to cheerlead censorship of all forms: whether from government or mega-corporation in concert with government.

I view this as a really big problem for the world as some of the most important and life-changing issues are effectively shut down from discussion, which could lead to a great calamity. So what suggestions would you offer to somebody like me who sees this as a really gigantic problem?
Yep, that is what I allude to in my previous comment. Thanks for adding your specific insight.

People in the UK talk about the skills shortage...your comment is exactly what I say in response: what shortage do we have of universities? What shortage do we have of young people willing to use their skills or learn new things? What shortage do we have of job applicants in these roles? We have all the people but go into almost any company (or govt), and look who is managing. It isn't only old people either, I remember interviewing for a place that has had open roles of years, missed the upturn...I interviewed and said told him I hadn't done a11y front-end before (this was full-stack), it was a deal-breaker...as if I could never learn another thing in my life....this guy was a dev.

The thing with govt really gets under my skin because it is so bad and the country needs better. The upside is massive. It is excruciating.
One criticism I have heard of the data collection around this wet market is that from the beginning, chinese officials rules out a lab leak. Not because the data said so, but because it would look bad for them. So this has cause a lot of data collection only around this wet market and places connected to the wet market. Which, unsurprisingly, has led to lots of cases found connected to the wet market and not many other places.
Well, as the poster said, it backfired on them lol

(I do not believe in the intentional malicious leak theory, to be clear)
Doesn't matter if they understand the nuance. The lab leak theory takes a back seat for the following reason:

Lets say it is found out with definite proof that it was a lab leak. Then what? Grandma's dead, china killed her and there is nothing you can do. We are not going to let this ruin trade relations even more ($$$ LOL) so you're just going to have to forget about it.

Every American touched by covid knows this in the back of their head.

The first stage of grief is denial.
A big part of the curse of lisp is that anything feels possible. Even for one guy who works at a veg shop.
While I love Clojure, these ideas already existed in other languages. For example, Mozart/Oz basically integrates all major paradigms [1].

It's a bit of a tragedy it has been mostly abandoned. I wish a Lisp, such as Clojure, emulated Mozart/Oz semantics.

On some level this is in the same category as getting a psychologist for your chickens.
Sorry, but this is just the kind of narrow parochialism I'm complaining about. I said "the vast majority of the world", and I stand by that - the idea that ordinary people in China, India, Africa, the Pacific and so on give one iota of a damn about US law is completely absurd. Furthermore, this attitude is a fantasy even within the Anglosphere - I live in New Zealand, and I bet not one person in 100 could give me a clear statement of what rights the 1st amendment guarantees and what its limits are, beyond the barest outline.
It’s weird that you compare a marble cock and balls to a commercial entity deciding they would make more money by not selling something with racist language.
post-Colombian exchange, adoption of potato also helped Europe as a whole.

"By feeding rapidly growing populations, [it] permitted a handful of European nations to assert dominion over most of the world between 1750 and 1950."

"Because potatoes were so productive, the effective result, in terms of calories, was to double Europe’s food supply."

"Routine famine almost disappeared in potato country, a 2,000-mile band that stretched from Ireland in the west to Russia’s Ural Mountains in the east."

I still don't understand why the expert's opinions are ignored on this issue. This one for example is a professor in virology, working in BSL-3 lab.

If we take a plane, we won't choose one of us to fly it, right?
As it happens, I am still a Russian citizen, so you might consider that your perspective about "why do we ever trust those guys when they always lied to us" is equally applicable from the other end. I don't need to listen to Biden to tell me that Putin is a dick; I lived under him for a decade, and still have family and friends who do.

As far as comparisons go, US did a lot of shitty things internationally in the past 50 years, but I don't recall a war to directly annex parts of another country being one of them. And yes, it is far worse than "regime changes" (which are also bad, to be clear) just because of how inherently destructive such a thing is.

Could another possible reason perhaps be some kind of battery savings setting on the android phone at home? Since you technically didn't open it directly for two weeks.
rendering is still done remote. the dream of stadia or geforcenow is that the whole program runs on a remote machine and you'd justs stream the interface
This article feels like it came from some alternate universe where the history of AI is exactly the opposite of where it is in ours, and specifically where “The Bitter Lesson” [0] is not true. In our world, AI was stuck in a rut for decades because people kept trying to do exactly what this article suggests: incorporate modeling and how people think consciousness works. And then it broke out of that rut because everyone went fuck it and just threw huge data at the problem and told the machines to just pick the likeliest next token based on their training data.

All in all this reads like someone who is deeply stuck in their philosophy department and hasn’t seen anything that has happened in AI in the last fifteen years. The symbolic AI camp lost as badly as the Axis powers and this guy is like one of those Japanese holdouts who didn’t get the memo.

I've always thought the whole 'protected categories' thing was made a little odd by the inclusion of religion, given the obvious nexus between religious beliefs and political positions, e.g. Burwell v. Hobby Lobby. Political opinions receiving protection iff colored by a religious belief is pretty asymmetric. To maintain logical consistency, either both or neither.
That's a fair and great point.
Out of curiously what kind of advisory roles have you had?
A bit more than 20 years ago Microsoft released a desktop product that automated producing a CRUD interface from an XML schema. It looked very nice but it was immediately withdrawn. I was puzzled at the time but I guess now they were threatened with a patent. This might explain why there weren't more products solving this obvious problem. Patents should have expired by now though.
"At the time" was 2019 actually. Back then it wasn't even clear if Apple would ever implement WebGL 2 at all.
Just to clarify - this is main difference between Windows and Linux, and this is why Windows by definition is walled garden?
Actually, I think I'm ok with it. As far as I understand you don't need to sign USB drivers, and for other drivers signing is additional level of security.
Again, you think keeping something secret needs a reason. That's not how totalitarian state works. In such state, not keeping something secret needs a reason. Everything else is secret by default. And the standard mode of action on any disaster is to deny it, lie and hide the evidence. It's not special for pandemic, it happens every time.
Yes they absolutely have tighter controls than Apple, and the reason is they live in a totalitarian state and Apple doesn't.
very much this. i am applying for a workvisa, and they ask me for my degree (which i don't have) because it counts more than the decade+ of work experience running my own business.
I think the issue is that you have people that are trying to apply new norms via small group social pressure amplified via social media. We have some social norms for certain attitude that no one will tolerate in polite society, but those norms are well known. In the last five years a host of new norms have been created that are enforced by small groups that don't mesh with general societal consensus.
For the curious this flag has been available since GCC 6.1 (2016) and Clang 10 (2020). It is enabled by -Wall for both compilers.

Interestingly (or perhaps coming full circle), the bug reference by the GGP comment is also called out in the GCC 6.1 release notes:

I disagree. The law pretty clearly draws a line at harassment.
This is disingenuous. Drinking vodka is not a constitutional right, it is just something that is not forbidden by law, so you are comparing 2 very different things. For any constitutional right people should be proud to show support and exercise it as much as possible, otherwise it is not a right, just a permission like drinking.
I worked in finance and have seen this in fund admin. It is a total backwater that they just drown in staff because grads are basically free (there is one place that I know that is actually in the Highlands, iirc they actually used to do something else but had a small fund admin biz...they grew like crazy because there are grads up there who have literally no choice...it could all be automated but they just keep hiring because they can get skilled labour at £20-25k/year).

When you think that OEICs actually have to trade at that number too...scary.

I have seen this in funds too. I knew one place that had school leavers booking their trades on internal system. They weren't high-frequency but I remember the guy showing me round, and he had three of these guys stacked up in this cupboard with Excel.
256 bits is stronger than 128 bits and the extra cost does not matter for a tool designed to encrypt files.

It also saves a lot of time answering questions and justifying the choice.

So, IMHO, go for 256 bits and be done with it.
not a good use of phoenix. sure it could be used for that but its cheaper to hire a php programmer to maintain it. our core api server which powers our apps is elixir because it is the best solution to that. our frontend doesn't need heavy interaction like a typical saas app would require so its not like we need liveview there either. basically, not enough reward for the effort.
