You are blaming the victim. OpenAI is to be blamed.

They know what they are doing. They provide something that sounds over-confident for anything it says, knowing full well that it can't actually know if what it generated is accurate because it is designed to generate plausible sentences using statistics and probabilities, not verified facts from a database. On top of it, they trained it on an uncontrolled set of texts (though IIUC even a set of verified text would not be enough, nothing guarantees that a LM would produce correct answers). And they provide it to the general population, which doesn't always understand very well how it works and, above all, its limitations. Including developers. Few people actually understand this technology, including myself.

Inevitably, it was going to end up causing issues.

This post factually presents a problematic situation for the authors of this post. How ChatGPT works or how it can end up producing wrong results is irrelevant to the post's authors problem. It just does, and it causes troubles because of the way OpenAI decided to handle things.

And it's not "fair enough, because this false stuff can be found on the internet".

some media/shows that portray the parents as toys (ie: Bluey) because we notice it tends to stunt their independence and skews their overall expectations of a parent child relationship.

could you elaborate on that please? bluey seems to promote a healthy parent-child relationship (at least in the few episodes that i saw). how does it stunt their independence and skew their expectations? are you suggesting that showing parents that are always available gives the wrong idea to children about their parents? how would that play out?
I don't even know what I get out of the system package manager these days. Apps are mostly flatpak / appimages, dev tools I'm using Homebrew.

Speaking of reasoning ...

"we can mitigate that with normal medicine" -- for some illnesses. For many, it's an abbreviated lifetime, curtailed options, and some measure of ongoing suffering.

I don't really care about historical precedents. They can best be used as a measure of how not to do something, rather than a suggestion that it not be done at all.

Germline editing has the chance to relieve the suffering of real people. My entire life would likely to be quite different and much better, were it available back then. And yet a lot of people are just ... counted as part of the cost. Sorry you will die soon, and painfully, but at least we're not the Nazis.

dotabuff.com does this on a broader scale (offers hero counter suggestions etc.) A better example is u.gg or op.gg which do this for LoL.
> You don't debase fiat currency, since there isn't a limited supply.

That doesn't sound correct. There isn't a limited supply, but introducing more currency into circulation can reduce the value of it, which is a proper use of debasing.

As a contrived example, if the treasury printed 100 trillion dollars and handed it out to everyone, I'm doubtful that bread would still be $1 a loaf.
No, “previously” refers to the secretariat of state, which is one institution (the most important one) inside the Vatican. Now it’s all institutions.

I live about a half mile from my kid's school and we walk most days, or I bike.

However, it has been... eye opening. We live in a fairly urban area of Nashville, but my street doesn't have sidewalks. We've been yelled at multiple times (me, my wife, and our kindergartner) by drivers to "Get out of the road!" (This is on a 25 mph street.) There are ditches and uneven ground on both sides of the road.

Even the sidewalks we _do_ have on our route are paltry... about 3 feet wide and immediately adjacent to a busy 30 mph road. We sometimes walk in the grass next to the sidewalk, and I actually had one neighbor yell at us to "Get out of the yard, get on the sidewalk." That one took the cake for me.

So, yeah. There's a lot of reasons people don't walk to work, but one of them might be that everyone and everything assumes you're supposed to drive in a car and idle in the parking lot for 20 minutes rather than walking. Walking can be _stressful_, especially if you're doing it with multiple kids (which I often do).
From what it looks like that's some ten kilometers or 6,2 miles of scrapping beach, crazy.

> whether you just wanted infinite rockets with no shields so everyone's bodies are flying all over

I did a Quake mod a bit like that, infinite rockets with massive explosive damage that did very little to your health but blew you right across the map. You could take about four or five direct hits from a rocket if you were pinned somewhere but mostly you'd take falling damage from bouncing the hell off the skybox.

Yes, it was stupid.

Yes, it was more-or-less unplayable.

Yes, it was as fun as it sounds.

I should resurrect that, if I can still find the code.
Yes, exactly. And I understand that you are not suggesting that Stanford is violating the 6th amendment, since this is not a criminal prosecution.

What you're saying is that Stanford should adopt the same line of reasoning embodied in the 6th amendment, to the extent that being accused in this fashion is a very high cost, and that the accuser should not be able to escape accountability for making false or misleading accusations. If the accuser thinks you did something wrong, they should stand up in public and say so.
They're completely different languages. Common Lisp isn't Racket. Racket is "a Lisp", but it's not Common Lisp (or even Scheme, which it's much more closely based on). You're writing something like:

If Java raw speed > TypeScript raw speed wouldn't most expert curly-bracers by default choose Java?

Differences include all the differences different languages have: features (hygienic macros, continuations, conditions, CLOS, ...), libraries (standard or otherwise), tooling...
Surely elevators already come with hardwired speakers?
I think you're glossing over a few things here...

Firstly, many societies around the world would consider 9 yo to be mature enough to do things like....go to the shops, use a telephone, go to a friends place to play, or look after a pet. Or in this...stay at home?

I'm not sure if it's specifically an American thing (and seemingly by extension, Australia, since there's so much cultural osmosis), but it does feel like we are infantilising our children, right into their young adulthood. Apparently it's normal now for somebody in their 20's to continue living with their parents, and have their parents do things like cook all their meals for them, do their laundry, etc

Secondly, what you're suggesting specifically targets poorer, or possibly Black people - I'm not sure if that's your intent? However, you're basically saying it's not OK to be poor, and not be able to afford things like a live-in nanny, or daycare (if available).
Opinions on Flatpaks/snaps notwithstanding, it's encouraging to see KDE and GNOME collaborating on projects like this. IMO desktop GNU/Linux has benefited greatly from moving away from offering LXDE/LXQT/Mate/Enlightenment/Cinammon flavors and towards a more digestible subset (GNOME only, GNOME/KDE/XFCE, etc) of polished desktop environments. Pipe dream, but it would be incredible to see all of the passionate, talented folks working together on one definitive GNU/Linux DE.
It even managed to give me this gem:

It's not socio-economics - it's Crime. They are correlated, but where they are not, children walk to school despite the poor neighborhood.

When I grew up in India, we were dirt poor and we literally hitchhiked to and from school each day from the age of maybe 7.

Students would get out of school, walk to the nearest busy intersection, and ask people to let us ride on the back of their motorbikes to get home. No helmets, no traffic lights, no sidewalks, no cell phones.

This wasn't in some rural area - this was in central Mumbai decades ago where people were poorer than the poorest US neighborhoods. ...yet the danger of being kidnapped or assaulted was effectively zero. It was far more common to be attacked by a stray dog than by any of the millions of dirt poor people in the city.

One factor (my guess - I observe anecdotally) is the high rate of drug use in the US. Drug use among the poor in India was extremely uncommon. However in the US (at least these days), it seems to be common among most people arrested (just my observation).
Maybe if they did follow rules, I wouldn't have gotten a ticket for "failing to display a front license plate" on a vehicle that had a front license plate...
The fact that Flatpak supports multiple repositories whereas Snap only works with Canonical's store. This is because the open-source Snap utility on your Ubuntu install doesn't support adding other repositories; and the server it talks to is closed-source and undocumented. (Oh, and don't get brilliant ideas with DNS redirection in your head, there's digital signing, which means the only way to get Snap to accept other Stores is with a full recompile.)

As for Flathub itself, it's like the Snap Store... but you aren't locked in, and the backend is open-source, and it's not directly owned by a distribution maker (even though it is definitely closer-in-kindred with the Fedora Project), which makes it far more palatable to people with even a modicum of understanding of the Linux and FOSS philosophy.

I harassed them nearly 6 years ago about this.

It is simply not true that we have censored anything. I realize I previously explained how our news rankings work very poorly on Twitter, but I subsequently put out a clarification tweet[1] and then we made this help page with a much clearer (and detailed) explanation of how our news rankings work: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/ne.... This is not "back-peddling"; it is the ground truth of what is actually going on with our news results.

Approximately 20-25% of working age UK adults are not employed. Not unemployed, just not employed.

Many (most?) people want to get that stuff out of the way so that they can do what they actually want, like spend time with their families, hobbies, watching TV, learning etc.

This is probably what they mean by "more productive", not "more output per unit time at work". Just more efficient with their time, more organised, etc.
Just give it time. Remember, before Twitter had algorithms, there were third-party platforms like favstar providing algorithmic virality as a service. I'm sure we'll eventually see similar tools for mastodon, followed by those tools being integrated into the platform, thereby eventually ruining it.

I have never even heard it called "the Ukraine" or said it myself, so I don't need convincing of that.

I think it's inherently wrong for one culture to make demands of another because of a perceived offense by such a small amount of people.

Imagine how this would play out if the US demanded everyone pronounce and say our country's name exactly as we prefer.

Yes, but if you want to do even as much as not play the music in the middle of the night, now your MP3 player needs a clock. That clock may drift, or it may drop out completely when the power goes out, unless you synchronize that clock over the network. But if you have network on your MP3 player, you may as well let it subscribe to the multicast stream instead of reading the stream from internal storage. If you do not have network, and you want to change the schedule of when your music plays, have fun to send out some maintenance crew to every single one of those devices. And don't forget any...
The process does seem perfect for hiring drones and robots.

Remember the guy a few weeks ago that was being gaslighted by ChatGPT that this is the year 2022? Not only is it giving out potentially false info, but it will double down that it is right and you are wrong. Though, to be honest, that sounds like a lot of real people. The difference is, people are smart enough to not double down on try to say it is a different year and your phone is probably reporting the year wrong.
Do you have intrusive thoughts? I do. They used to come around and set off huge spirals of self-recrimination over the most pointless bullshit that everyone except me has forgotten about for decades.

One day, after reading John Elder Robison's books and self-diagnosing and spending some time in introspection, I don't know exactly when it started but I started doing what my wife describes as "Tourettes shit" when those thoughts would come - squawks, chirps, little dances, disconnected verbal outbursts - and over time, I found that they were dulling the effect of the intrusions, till eventually the intrusive thoughts had basically no power anymore. They still happen but I just Tourettes them away, for lack of a better word. The best comparison I have come up with is, the thoughts are like John Nash's roomie and the little girl and the other one at the end of A Beautiful Mind, they flee to a 50 foot distance as soon as they appear, because my squawks scare them off like dementors or something.

I have had a lot of thoughts about this as regards just what is going in inside the heads of people like me, but I'm not trained in it so I don't think I'd be taken seriously if I tried to share them.

My tics made some of my friends (in some cases, former friends) very uncomfortable. Another thing I realized during that period is that I don't care - I previously had cared quite a lot, but I have completely detached from that, it seems. Those same friends (the ones who didn't like the new me) brought either no real value to my life, or else were a net drain in terms of negativity, small mindedness, lack of ambition, etc. Life is better without them, I have more time to do really cool stuff. I make cartoons for a living now. That came after I did all the above, not before.

Just try to look inside your real self and allow it be. It could take years, be patient.
You likely saw it just before I edited the headline. I didn't realize at the time I posted it, but the original title definitely could give the impression they're injecting 3rd party ads. Personally, this feels 90% as annoying as a third party ad. But my intent was definitely not to mislead, I was hesitant to even make a post because I don't want to be a bad HN citizen by starting a thread that becomes an emotional bandwagon.

I don't think there is a breach of DDG's contract but it it is a disappointing contrast to my expectations from DDG's brand, which I would expect to be more respectful of the user. This is disruptive.
> it's a bit of a pyramid scheme

In what way is this a pyramid scheme? If anything is like paying taxes to a local government, who then has to send (part of them) to the central government.
This is the biggest problem I encounter when trying to use ChatGPT on a daily basis for computer programming tasks. It "hallucinates" plausible looking code that never existed or would never work, especially confusing whats in one module or API for something in another. This is where ChatGPT breaks when pushed a bit further than "make customized StackOverflow snippets."

For example I asked ChatGPT to show me how to use an AWS SDK "waiter" to wait on a notification on an SNS topic. It showed me code that looked right, but was confusing functions in the SQS library for those that would do the thing with SNS (but SNS doesn't support what I wanted)
Our relationship to actual, in-practice freedom has always been kind of... weird, considering how obsessed with freedom we seem to be. We seem more concerned with high-level theoretical freedom than with actual liberty we experience in the day-to-day, which is indeed sub-par compared to many of our peer states. And we didn't credibly try to even extend that much freedom to ~every US adult until the last quarter or 30% of our country's existence.

I completely know what you are talking about, I’m used to the Software app virtually never working, although I came back a few months ago and it all seemed to be working perfectly fine. So perhaps there have been some major improvements in this space. At any rate, the problem is not unsolvable, it was mostly just bad UX where underlying errors were not surfaced and the app would get stuck in an endless loading spinner.

While these are all good practices, killing DoH conclusively on your home network is more difficult than you've made it seem, as ultimately all you can really do is use domain blacklists at your firewall. It's no longer as straight forward as just control port 53 traffic, not like you can realistically shut down 443... Blocking DoH is largely whack-a-mole and I think is only going to get worse as this and similar techniques spread. There are so many sneaky ways to resolve a hostname an app or device can choose to use now.

You can force traditional port 53 DNS protocol traffic to your own resolver with firewall rules, the same doesn't work for DoH. a DoH request to a domain your firewall blacklist doesn't have looks just like ordinary https/443 traffic and will pass unhindered.
Personally, I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't set up a website for people to submit their address for contesting bogus FCC data.
