A sci-fi magazine has cut off submissions after a flood of AI-generated stories - https://www.npr.org/2023/02/24/1159286436/ai-chatbot-chatgpt...

> The science fiction and fantasy magazine Clarkesworld has been forced to stop accepting any new submissions from writers after it was bombarded with what it says were AI-generated stories.

> The magazine officially shut off submissions on February 20 after a surge in stories that publisher and editor-in-chief Neil Clarke says were clearly machine-written.
This isn't meant to be a dig at you, but iCloud seems like an interesting choice for someone who cares about visible folder structures, given that Apple led the pack on hiding files and folders from their users. I'd be curious to know whether you evaluated a bunch of alternatives or settled on iCloud because you already had an account and it was just an easy choice.

Disclaimer: I would definitely say I have a personal bias against Apple.

I developed a knack for this in practice (thanks HN and 2010's Twitter!) and formalized it on paper just days before I heard an interview with the author David Epstein regarding his then-newly-released book which gave my instinct a better name: RANGE.

Merely consuming content for other roles hardly builds range on its own. But It DOES help solve a related problem: it helps you learn about what to learn to begin to see/think/empathize with others in those roles.

I got so fed up with IPv6 being either straight up unavailable or being deployed in a botched fashion by residential ISPs in my area in the last 10+ years that I picked up an ASN and a /44 last year. I advertise it from a VM on Vultr in a datacenter close to home and the experience is just amazing.

I also got fed up with people discriminating against Hurricane Electric's tunnel broker (streaming services, etc) so now I just have my own tunnel broker. It's really great to have my own addresses, use them in my kubernetes clusters (via calico and cilium) and have my homelab directly advertised to the internet, knowing I will never need to re-number.

Good reminder
As you've already laid out, they don't have a monopoly (especially not when you consider non-x86, where discrete GPUs aren't really a thing). Honestly, I'd be more worried about the discrete GPU market disappearing altogether due to lack of volume from decline of *coin mining and PC sales than NVidia being too succesful. Especially as upgrading to be able to play the latest has become less and less necessary over time.

> And Bevy's coded in Rust! Bevy gains all of Rust's safety, ergonomics, speed; yet it avoids pitfalls with some OSS Rust products: it doesn't overuse lifetimes or macros and is relatively easy to follow.

Just uhhh... don't look at the core ECS implementation, haha. There's probably no other concentration that much use of unsafe in the entire Rust ecosystem, outside of the stdlib. Could always use some more eyes scrutinizing the design and API surface there. I'm saying this as someone who's wrote most of the optimizations to the ECS in the past 3-4 releases. Definitely have introduced (and fixed) my fair share of undefined behavior bugs due to hyper-aggressive use of unsafe.
For a company who thrives on making cheap devices and charging for licenses/platform, this is almost a crime especially when supporting ipv6 on Linux based devices is much easier now. Wonder why don’t support it.

It doesn't matter how we define accuracy, I argue relevancy comes into play moreso when they stated this model is useful, making accuracy a non-issue, even if that's not what their exact words.
Again, nothing to do with struggling to make ends meet. By going further with your argument you aren't fully comfortable until you can cover any possible event that might happen, since a dire enough event will exhaust any possible amount of savings you could have unless you're a billionaire. Medical emergencies and car crashes are covered by insurance for nearly everyone, if you make that much money I would think you have appropriate policies in place.

When I was doing research to potentially purchase a broken Nissan Leaf to try to fix, I found a bunch of reports of EA chargers causing damage to cars. According to some sources on Reddit, the problem is that the charging station does not respect or misinterprets the maximum DC fast charge current allowed by the vehicle, and just tries to send full power to the vehicle. Because DCFC is controlled entirely by the charger under the instruction of the vehicle, this causes the contactors in the vehicle to open, or in the worst case, melt components in the car's internal power distribution network.

Unfortunately, it would seem like this is the kind of problem that is often caused by bad protocol conformance testing, and it's potentially likely that it is a software problem. The fact that above software, there are no other safety mechanisms to prevent hardware damage is concerning.

Part of the electrical certification for things like this probably needs to include a standardized protocol certification such as what they do with USB-IF, MFi, HDMI etc. Otherwise, small software bugs like these can cause thousands of dollars in damage without any indication that something is about to go wrong.

If there was one good application of DRM and remote attestation, components that are designed to handle over 200 kW of power are where that effort should be. You would have a hard time starting a fire with an iOS lightning cable, but it has way more security than this, it seems.

I literally never heard of this, ever. Not even for staff+ positions.

Anyone else having problems acessing ChatGPT recently?
I know it's been getting hammered recently and I'm pretty used to their "servers over capacity" errors and having to try again later. But, for about the past fortnight, I've not been able to access ChatGPT at all. I first get a OpenAI branded "Verify you are human" tick box. Then when I click that, I get the same message. But this time on a Cloudflare branded dialogue. Clicking that one just hangs on "Verifying..."
The problem is AirBnB. Landlords are regulated with zoning and other practices; people buying up individual apartments and turning areas intended for long term rentals into hotels are the problem, and this is entirely the result of AirBnB et. al.
always coming home
Sure, but in the meantime all of the repairs have been completed vs the renter being unable to come up with 40k and their house remains flooded and damaged.

Even simple maintenance likely covers the increase. I spend at least a $1000 a year just on ac maintenance. Add in lawn care and that's another $1500 (you could of course do it yourself). Need trees trimmed $2000 or 1 fell into your house?. Roof leak, $5000? Water heater, $3000? AC needs to be replaced, $8000? Someone backed into your mailbox? These are all large bills that many renters could not cover. Many of these happen in the same year.
Simcity 2013 was the first time i asked for a game to be refunded. After that was rejected it became the first time and maybe only time i've used a credit card charge back.

I know "boycotts" don't work in the gaming industry but i can honestly say i haven't bought an EA product since.

That has been slightly easier by them only churning out yearly sporting games filled with micro transactions mind.
Humans tend to take things personally. It can help a little to work hard at not sounding blamey and not making it personal from your end.

There was no longer a time when we changed terms. Our company provides content creator sites such as Bufferwall.com and other blog post apps for blogs (therefore those conditions).

>I personally agree but you are not describing the economic system we live in...
This happens all of the time - but the market finds another equilibrium and continues to provide the good

I just dont think we are on the same page here or think this is accurate for our system. The 1% profitable sock factory doesn't shut down because some investor somewhere starts making 100% ROI on bitcoins or tech stock. A carpenter doesn't lay down his tools because fund manager somewhere is making big bucks. I agree the prevailing rates on capital can have impacts on new growth in capital intensive industries, but that doesn't mean you wont be able to find a homebuilder if you have cash in your pocket.

>Generally agreed - this would be more efficient. I also do not want it. It's more efficient in every way. There are significant economies of scale. There is a reason armies do not have each individual soldier cook their meals.

I don't think resources like labor and time are truly fungible and can be treated as interchangeable. Efficiency is relative to the measure of value and the person making the valuation.

If I don't value my time or even enjoy cooking, paying someone to do it is not efficient for me, even if there are huge economies of scale. It might be efficient in terms of total hours to some central planner, but their valuation of my time and labor is not the same as mine. I am still paying money for labor that would otherwise be free. It may be horribly inefficient.

There is no maximally efficient platonic system without a universally imposed definition of the measures being optimized.

And the homeowner has to stay there unless they can get someone to buy it, while the renter can just leave.

Sorry. Also, it’s not directed at you but rather someone who would deny another what they knew to be good medicine. It would be valid, in that case, would it not? (Still against the rules, I guess. I wouldn’t mind being banned for accurately labeling a sociopath; that would be a decent signal to spend my time elsewhere.)

You actually believe therapy to be a complete farce, which I hadn’t comprehended before this point.

Read some systematic literature review abstracts. Parse some statistics. Ask a physician you trust to explain it to you.

Research doesn’t suggest that therapy improves the lives of everyone but rather that it’s effective treatment for disease. You could similarly find papers that say the same thing about acupuncture or chiropractors: when I say “research” here, I’m referring to many orders of magnitudes more psychology papers. Tens of thousands would pass your replication crisis criticism criteria.
So what about Bachelor and Baccalaureate both being words that have their pre-Latin roots in Arabic: Bihaqq Al-riwayatt (“the right to restate the learning to somebody else“).

Or the fact that ceremonial graduation garb in the EU and US, from the robes to the caps, is also based in Arab tradition.

The medieval Enlightenment and subsequent Renaissance was huge for Europe, yes, but just as important to realize today is that a lot of it was taking heavy inspiration from other cultures and regions and “Europeanizing” it and then calling it their own (I.E. a cultural exchange)

You describe damage to a property that a bank owns. Therefore the costs fall on the bank. This is part of the definition of the concept of "taking on risk" and if banks are not accounting for these outcomes in their business model, they're simply bad at business.
Er, isn't that kind of the point? That you should be aware of the real cost of you "investigating interesting detours"?
While the formality is way overwrought (and ChatGPT is not creating any "simulacra" of characters), I think the overall point is correct that language models are trained on stories and other human writing, and inversion is a very common plot point in stories and human writing in general, if only because contradicting expectations is more interesting (e.g. "man bites dog").

We also less commonly see exposition that is not germane to a story, so a character is rarely even mentioned to be "weak", "intelligent", etc unless there is a point. And sometimes the point is that they are later shown to be "strong", "absent-minded", or other contradictions. Which means that mentioning a character's strength makes it more likely they will later be described as weak, than if it was never mentioned at all. Finally, double-contradiction is less common in human text (maybe because plain contradiction is sufficiently interesting), so a running text with no reversals is more likely to eventually reverse, than a running text with one reversal is to return to its original state.

While I don't agree at all with the author's sense that this represents some kind of "alignment" danger, it does go a long way to explaining why ChatGPT is easy to pull into conversations that shock or surprise, despite all the training. It's because human writing often attempts to shock and surprise, and the LLM is training on that statistically.

Original author vs rights holder, doesn't matter to me. Once art is released, it belongs to the public. The rights holders are entitled to make money from it at least.

Considering that the best quality release of the non-special editions is a Laserdisc, it's basically as good as deleting the originals from history.

One of the key challenges we observe is that if you're small enough, a Heroku like experience works well - and most of your needs would be covered by virtually any combination of techstacks.

It gets significantly more challenging when you grow, either in feature complexity or scale complexity - and then very few services can offer what AWS/GCP/Azure offer - albeit at the increased engineering/monetary cost of using them.

We're building a different kind of approach[0] that aims to absorb the mechanical cost of using public cloud capabilities (that are proven to scale) without hiding it altogether.

That's another thing that's nicer about the working world: there's a lot more room for negotiation if too many tasks are piled on you, or if The World intervenes to prevent something from being done on time, or whatever. And true deadlines (as in: your work will be worthless and dropped in the trash bin if you miss it) are pretty rare. Plus if you work with people who aren't flexible about that kind of thing—you can find another job! Overall there's just a lot more communication and respect and people are way more understanding and laid back, which is weird because adults are supposed to be far more responsible than kids, but the expectations are totally reversed in my experience.

One of the weirdest things to me about high school vs. "real life" is that high school treats everything so very much more seriously and rigidly than most situations in real life that I've experienced. There are hell-jobs out there that are as bad or worse, I'm sure, but at least leaving a job like that on a timeframe of fewer than four years is totally possible.
> Which I have two thoughts on, first, I'm pretty sure most people are buying bread at the grocery store. So, the availability of fresh bread (which is also frequently available in the grocery store bakery) has more to do with lack of demand than it does with lack of availability. It seems like the convenience of pre-sliced bread that doesn't go bad in a couple days is just vastly preferred over fresh bread.

No my point is that going to the grocery store daily or near daily for fresh bread adds like an hour of time to my day, because there's no very close grocery store. Not even talking about a dedicated bakery

A lot of jobs are in high cost of living areas. The reason they're high cost of living is because there are jobs there, the demand to live there is high, and they haven't built nearly enough housing. Some bay area municipalities have essentially not added any housing in the last 50 years. They made it illegal, because incumbent property owners don't want more people to be allowed to live there.

And it's not just the bay area. The populations of Cambridge and Boston have gone down since 1950, because a series of laws were passed that put tight restrictions on residential construction that reduced the allowed density and effectively made almost all of the existing housing stock illegal (but it was grandfathered in) and anything more dense than that, like even building a 5 story residential building in a lot zoned for 4 stories, when that lot is surrounded by 4 and 5 story buildings, is an expensive, long process of arguing with the zoning board and going through arbitrarily subjective design review processes.
Maybe this is because companies where managers can confidently measure productiveness are already switched back to work from office?
Dunno… After spending many hours in Cities in Motion, and even more in Cities in Motion 2, Cities: Skylines just didn’t click for me somehow. It was kind of barren, with awkward road building (compared to CIM2), and just kind of restricting in a hard-to-define way.

Perhaps the DLCs have improved the situation, but I lost interest by then. Hope CS2 will be better!
The ignored corollary is that the market for these products will get saturated much more quickly, and thus the product needs to change to stay relevant. Plus there's a low(ish) bar to entry.

How long has a quality carpentry been sold now? Cost of entry is also relatively stable.

Music styles change every decade now and it is speeding up as marginal costs of entry fall. Likely similar with other entertainment, which is why every entertainment corporation is now looking for lock-in.
Every time a housing discussion comes up someone comes in with this argument. If you stopped to think about it you'd realize how silly it is.
