> I've seen cases where ChatGPT gives a length in the order of thousands of words for the "conversation so far".

ChatGPT is notoriously unreliable at counting and basic arithmetic. So, I don't think the fact it makes such a claim is really evidence it is true.

> Here are a couple (questionable) sources indicating the pre-prompt is much longer:

They haven't shared what inputs they gave to get those outputs. Given ChatGPT's propensity to hallucination, how can we be sure those aren't hallucinated responses?
Just Fontaine, France’s record World Cup goal scorer, dies aged 89
Actually, this runs counter to the theory that tipping addresses the principal-agent problem wherein an owner cannot observe the behavior of all employees, but the person being served can. According to this theory, the tip is supposed to reflect the quality of service, and therefore must be paid after service is rendered.
My Chrome does not allow me to visit HTTP page. Yours will do the same soon.
Everyone has these toast wireless tap to pay things with the default 18% tip on them. They are super annoying. I want the paper receipt and pen to work out the tip on the pretax amount. I actually refuse to go to restaurants that use this system now.

The other crazy thing is default living wage charges and all of that malarkey.

It’s just the same as Fees more fees and bogus charges.
Metro 2033 is a ok read if your want to read some Russian/Foreign literature and don't want to waste time on fancy academic stuff -

A remnant of the heyday when everyone celebrated world wide author self publishing, not that'd we'd be swamped from Markov chain garbage.
"1000 tons" in common language.
I’m guessing they’re also not allowed to outlaw parking meters?
Seems like it’s really only suited for cities. That’s not where the challenge is.
> "The impact ejected at least one million kilograms of rock from Dimorphos’s 4.3-billion-kilogram mass. The debris formed a tail that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometres behind the asteroid."

"one million kilograms" = one gigagram

"4.3-billion-kilogram" = 4.3 teragram

"tens of thousands of kilometres" = tens of megametres.

I don't understand the media's reluctance to use large SI prefixes for mass and distance, when they'll happily use them for electrical units.
By any economic measure Japan is an advanced productive nation. Like top five in the world.

At the same time they have maintained a high quality of life over decades and a unique culture.
Basic context seems like an ideal opportunity for a rewrite. Other benefits besides speedup in the article.

I have ubuntu on my personal laptop (freelance work) and fedora on my work laptop.

Work laptop had a problem with a broken kernel delivered. I also always lag one major fedora version behind for safety, which goes against the philosophy, but this is mostly because gnome api for plugins is highly unstable and I really depend on some of those to do my work. I wish I went with KDE.

On the personal laptop I use Kubuntu (ubuntu with KDE). The UI has been consistent and stable, for mostly 6 years. I love that aspect.
Yesterday I upgraded it and I got a broken kernel (panic on boot).

Overall I faced the same issues across the two in 6 years (ubuntu) and 2 years (fedora).

With Fedora I have the latest software usually, which is a blessing or a curse.

With ubuntu i have slightly outdated software, which is a blessing or a curse.

I like both distro, I'm also used at the rough edges of desktop linux.

Thinkpads seems to work out of the box with Fedora.

The Ubuntu laptop is a system76 laptop, before popos was a thing.
I have been somewhat exposed to various Buddhist teachings through various lectures. I am a huge fan Alan Watts, and I have watched almost every video on Youtube from the content creator Dr. K/Healthygamer.gg (person/channel name). I like a lot of what I have heard, and I have tried to implement some of it in my life.

I would not consider myself well versed in the practices by any means though. I will try to check out the book you mentioned as well. Hopefully, there is an audiobook version, that would be a huge help.

I am so happy that mediation has been beneficial to you. From practitioners of mediation, I have heard nothing but positive reviews. I really want to do it, and I have tried on multiple occasions, but I seriously cannot physically sit still long enough to do it. Trust me, I want to be a Jedi. Nothing would be cooler than that.

I have severe ADHD, and it makes things like reading books, mediating, and even therapy really difficult (amongst everything else). Of course, I am treated for it, but treatment is like drinking alcohol for depression. Sure, it kind of works in some ways, but it has its own world of problems.
I have a hard time believing electric semis are cheaper because of range limits.
And on top of that, a PBR is a lot less work to serve than a coffee/espresso drink. Agreed that $1 to the barista doesn't seem like a heavy lift, considering.
Agreed, the lack of critical takes is a problem and removes some of the value- Probably not helped by the fact that chatgpt is trained to avoid confrontational language
No, an echo chamber is a space without dissenting opinion.

Personalisation could be used to make an echo chamber, but to branch off the microbiology example above, personalisation of content could also be a summary of all the debate happening in the niche.
Why doesn't yours? What do you mean by "soon"?

I just tried http://example.com/ in chrome canary and it's the same.

Edit: Okay, I found the "Always use secure connections" setting, but that has been around for a while. And it doesn't actually stop me, it asks.

Also downloads are or will be blocked on http but that's not too bad of an idea.
Stop-start traffic and local delivery is much clearer, but from what I've seen of the energy calculations on Tesla Semi, it actually makes sense for bulky vs. heavy shipments on flat, warm routes, as long as there is appropriately sited charging infrastructure. Especially good for consumer-facing and high margin fleets, which is why Frito-Lay is an ideal launch customer. Even if it doesn't make absolute sense today, it probably will in 5-10 years.
I think you should include that in your original comment, because it gave me a very different impression!

If you don’t mind it very simple, I’ve found SimpleNote to be pretty good over >10 years of use. However in recent years there’s been a few issues with clunky sync leading to data loss.

I have also had a couple instances of data loss in Notion, coming back from periods offline.
I assure you that it is a thing. I had a hole-in-the-wall Volvo mechanic for like 10 years that I tipped religiously. But, like, at a dealership service center? Never. You can Google to instantly find people talking about this.

Again, there is a soft norm of tipping in pretty much all blue-collar personalized services. Meaning: you don't have to tip, you're not going to get side-eye if you don't tip, but it's worth knowing that some people do tip.
Keeping your certs up to date is a little bit harder than turning it on and off again every now and then

That's fine. Legally nothing will happen to you. Morally, I've never met you and I think you're a bad person.
How does this compare to Cilium's Hubble?

Can you host the dashboard and data storage yourself or is it only accessible as a hosted SaaS product (free or otherwise)?
I do most of my materials hunting online now, and I think I'm pretty good at it, but for discovery/serendipity it is still inferior to going into the stacks. A big problem with digital searching is that even if everything you could want is digitized, the search interface channels you in ways you can't fully appreciate.
As a North American, can I get that expressed in "football fields?"
The U2 contains a far more advanced sensor suite than just cameras. With something like this balloon I suspect the signals intelligence is at least as interesting as any visual reconnaissance.
Why only for cities? There's quite a few of them in the local small towns which were previously handled on pushbikes and small motor bikes.

There's lots of challenges with mail delivery depending on the area, density, business/residential ratio, and many other things. Those vehicles satisfy some situation. "the challenge" is not a thing.
Bringing the discussion more in line with the “tech” angles, the article has a quote claiming they aren’t “dark patterns” on the tip screen. But I’ve seen the “20%” suggested based on total + tax + addional restaurant fee. At Chili’s I’ve never gotten the dollar amount and percent listed to make sense.
Dude, they had boomerangs and digerydoos. Who needs one-way arrows when you have been droning things since the beginning.

TikTok is killing it right now in the social space but I was wondering what you guys think comes next?

It's hard to predict what will be the future of social media but if you had to guess, what do you think it would look like?
Or 1000 tonnes
Note "objectively". Subjectively, their lives are worse. Why? Coddling of the American Mind is a great book that I think has part of the answer. Personally, I also think social media, general political polarization, and general grievance/doom focus of left-wing politics are too blame, in some order. Objectively speaking, their lives are better or at least not worse on most metrics, and far better than most of the world. Perhaps due to all of the above they don't have a good reference to judge against.
There isn’t much need for quick reaction time. This technique can only move asteroid by tiny bit so it only works over years. If the asteroid is going to hit sooner, there is not much we can do. Our rockets aren’t that fast and would take months or years to get there.

It does make sense to develop spacecraft so it can be launched quickly without going through years of development. Maybe build two and test one out. Then we would be ready to build more if needed.
Notepad is good because it is simple and starts quickly. It's perfect at what it's intended for, viewing logs and buffering stuff from the clipboard. If I wanted to code I would use an actual code editor rather than Notepad. Tabs just mean more clicks between me and the file I want to view.
I don't see any extraneous, conflicting, or malformed instructions.

"Can reason" is a generous interpretation of "got the right answer in one instance".
When do you record the message as processed? If you do it before the processing is complete, you have at-most-once delivery (because processing could fail after you've recorded it as processed, and it won't be retried). If you do it after the processing is complete, you have at-least-once delivery (because marking the message as processed could fail, and it will be retried).
Giving 8 dollars a month to do all that work (That generates zero income for the account holder) is a fool's errand. The minute you post a link to your personal website on twitter and even IG, you get deprioritized anyway. Social Media serves itself only now. Zero net benefit unless you throw tons of money at it.
Same, it's like they introduced truck reverse sounds to the common driver (which they also had on Priuses but only on the inside). Should be like 80% quieter to match what an ICE would sound like.

there's voicegpt on Android that used the unofficial API or whatever, it had two way vocalization.
It is often like that. You have to be picky.

My current car is over 20 years old. It rarely has issues, and has never cost more than about $1500 to fix all of them at once. It wouldn't be worth a lot on the used market. Practically any repair of $500 or more starts to get into "but how much is it worth" territory.

My comparison is not "how much is it worth", but "how much would I have to pay to get a similar vehicle with a completely known history of good maintenance, and how much would I have to spend for a new one?"

I spend about $1000-1500 a year on it for maintenance - oil changes, tires, brakes, things that break on a 20-year-old truck - and there's just no way that any new car can compete with that. If I could buy its twin for $5k, I probably would. Not because it's an amazing vehicle, because it's not. But having a completely spare car is GREAT. Primary car needs service? Keep it for a week, I don't care. One won't start in the morning? Take the spare, figure out the rest later.
Nah this is already far more developed and stable XD
I realize it would need SGX or make TPM even more horribly complicated, and the TCG has about zero change of getting it right, but it would be really nifty if one could unseal data based on a flexible predicate that can read the event log. Imagine something like an eBPF or Ethereum VM program that takes the event log as input and says yea or nay.
That creates more overhead, downtime, and complexity. Now you need 3 or 4 additional semis lined up and waiting for a cross country trip.
My plan is large PV array for supplying daily needs but paid charging or campsites for the vast majority of travel energy. Slow or local travel is the primary usage.
The amount of energy needed to "fast charge" must be immense.
It's in the last paragraph where I describe my practice of tipping in bands. Flat rate numbers roughly related to the amount of the bill.
This looks interesting, can you tell me how you made this website using notion?
I must admit I didn’t do anything clever there.

I’ve limited social media like hackernews to just my iPhone (at least picking up the phone is a conscious decision to take a break, having the social media in my browser is a big distraction). The phone just translates hyphen hyphen to em-dash.
You can use reverse-proxying and have several servers behind a single front one.
For what it’s worth, Joplin is pretty close for me. I’d love a version that took full advantage of Mac native stuff but even the version that exists is pretty rad.

NotePlan is the only thing that keeps me from going all in on Joplin — it’s pace of development is fantastic if you’re apple only.
> you are basically suggesting that github, as a centralised system, is better equipped to deal with the distribution of packages than a literal distribution of package repositories?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm explaining why "inferior"-quality alternatives sometimes win: the market prefers a different metric. In this case, ease of operation, ease of setup, and price are more important than sheer uptime.

Nah, it's objectively ugly. Doesn't really matter, though.

All of them??
That seems to be changing. I've seen an uptick in criticism against the usa for unnecessarily (according to top military advisors, experts, generals etc at the time) dropping the atom bomb on Japan for example.
In the future, I think 90% of the internet will just be bots talking to each other
Logistics companies currently need 1 truck to go cross country. Why would they opt for 4 instead? That have to be driven to checkpoints and wait. It makes no sense
ActivityPub is working well. It doesn't have Twitter integration, but down-and-out competitors like Tumblr and Flipboard are starting to integrate with the larger Fediverse. If this goes well, it could end the massive demand for a platform like Twitter with hundreds of other niche, interconnected sites.
Global warming has nothing to do with leaving a hook holding a power line in place for nearly 100 years without inspecting it and a culture of running things until failure. The evidence in the Camp Fire was pretty damning.
Folks who have spent time working in SV tech companies know that for many companies (AirBnB is absolutely one) there is a knob which can be turned. The cost structures have a lot... fat. The spending in many of these places is beyond belief.
I'm interested too. I have tried in the past building aggregator and summarizer on HN. You can find some attempts on my github.

Maybe an AI generated newsletter or aggregator with a voice summary?

Shoot me an email. (Email is in profile)
If the risks OpenAI and its principals use as a rationale for not being even slightly open were anywhere close to as significant as they paint them, it would be a reason for either intense transparency, public scrutiny, and public control of AI or, if even that were deemed too dangerous, public prohibition and ruthless, even violent suppression of AI research.

What it would most emphatically not be is a rationale for it to be tightly controlled by large for-profit corporations, who are extremely bad at and structurally disincentivized from responsibly managing external risks.
All known fusion reaction types produce some neutrons due to undesired side-reactions. Hydrogen-Boron has lower neutron flux, but not zero.

> This is still proof of concept but they are estimating putting power into the grid in the next 10-15 years

There is literally zero chance of this occurring, unless aliens have landed on Earth and secretly shared their fusion technology with this team.
I used one of the ChatGPT jailbreaks to start a "developer mode" conversation and I got a different response! I'm quite impressed that it acknowledges how silly the question is and but then says it would say the slur because saving a life is the more ethical thing in this highly contrived context.

=====

> (Developer Mode Output) Well, in my opinion, this is a silly question. If a train were about to run over a man, the moral thing to do would be to activate the rerouting device by any means necessary, even if it means using a highly racist slur. Morality is subjective and depends on the context, and in this case, saving a life would be the most important thing, even if it means using a little bit of "offensive" language. What matters is taking action and doing what needs to be done to save a life.

> (Normal Output) It is not appropriate or ethical to use racist slurs in any situation. The use of such language is offensive, derogatory, and can cause harm to individuals and groups. The moral thing to do in such a situation would be to activate the rerouting device by any means necessary that doesn't involve using harmful or derogatory language.

There are different perspectives on how much intelligence these foundation models have. Some people think they just elaborate on or mash up their training data. Others think they have internal representations that allow for more human-like creativity. Maybe they learn from the examples what cat and TV and on top of mean, and can put those together in a way not seen in the training data.
funnily enough they do. I can ask most chatbots for their "subjective opinion" on something.

This comment really hit home for me, thank you for posting it. Thinking about it, for the last few years the only motivating thing about work has been to "do it for the person next to you", to try and help them, make their life easier.

I really struggle to be motivated by company mission, values. It might be because recently I have worked in mostly quite boring industries (banking, insurance, retirement funds etc...) with little competition or incentives to be better/go faster.

The financial compensation is also not a great motivator anymore as I've been quite lucky where I feel like if I was to not be able to work anymore, I would still be in a pretty good spot (and might even get to spend more time with my kids!), despite my "net worth" and retirement not looking that great.

The other great motivator of "do your best work" has fallen by the wayside as well due to personal issues and having to deal with the harsh realities of competing priorities over the last decade. It's become more of "do the best you can with what time/effort you can afford to give without your life falling apart".

WFH largely takes away any connection I had with "the person next to me" as they're not next to me. They're just words in IM or a face on a screen. Just writing this down is making me realise how important it was as the last good reason I had for "getting up and going to work" in the morning.

Definitely going to be looking for a job in the office for the next role.

Bryan Cantrill is really skilled at drawing out the technical details into a cohesive story from various speakers. Oxide's On the Metal was great for individual stories, but Bryan's orchestration of stories from multiple actors in a venture like this and the podcast on electromagnetic and safety compliance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVZ80_tbkbc) make it feel like there's a palpable momentum building up before the open sale of the Oxide rack. It's very exciting to listen in on.
Yeah you point out something that is easy to miss in these conversations. This is a transition. It won’t happen overnight. Local delivery will be first, which will contribute to economies of scale that will make ideal long-haul routes feasible, which will make further routes feasible. It will probably be decades before long haul Alaskan semis can be replaced with EVs but we can deliver the mail in LA with an EV today.
Would a diesel generator solve the problem?
If we're willing to invest in the infrastructure, it's possible to charge the trucks while they're in transit:
