A few suggestion:
- start with a password manager (I will suggest https://1password.com). For any service outside the cloud this should be fine

- Where possible enable SSO, even for AWS or other cloud services (https://blog.leapp.cloud/how-to-saml-federate-your-aws-accou...). Here an example on how to do it with GSuite and aws

- For all your employees I can advice you Leapp as open-source project (https://github.com/Noovolari/leapp). It solve mayor of the problem listed here:

. Responsable for the AWS infrastructure get the IAM Security standard on track (short-lived credentials, MFA, IAM Users secured, rotation of credentials and access to the console with a set of secured credentials, and generation of Azure ceredentials)

. temporary tokens are mandatory, so let a project like leapp locally manage IAC credentials for you.

- Is not too strictly to manage pipelines only after confirmation? You can create a specific role for managing a specific policy to deploy your pipelines. Here an article on how to start organizing your AWS account as a startup (https://blog.leapp.cloud/aws-multi-account-strategy-explaine...)

- "People work on their own devices.": that's why Leapp has been created, check it out.

- Optional: "It would be good if developers get credentials to setup small test environments in AWS." how anout creating a sandbox account for them?
- "Bonus: How to manage non-technical secrets" even here, Leapp is a desktop app and is vastly used also for accessing to EC2 instances even for not technical people

I hope this guide can help you!
This assumes that performance can be meaningfully measured. Which is incorrect, in my experience.
Did it come up with the rules, or did it just rehash an explanation for an existing game from its training data?

Which of the 3 (reinforcement/supervised/unsupervised) is more amenable to building "expert systems" that can play Go or fold proteins?

I saw a thread just earlier [0] where GPT said it invented a game which doesn't yet exist, but it was wrong, unfortunately. Not sure I'd trust it to be an expert in anything. (Can't find it now, but there was also an article recently about Bing/Sydney just getting facts completely wrong.)

The "it's been done before" one is pretty relevant. It means the model didn't actually generate the game, but likely pulled it more or less straight out of its training data. It's still very cool that you can ask it for something and it can basically mine the entire (2021) internet for it, but it's not the same as being able to create something really new.

I've noticed the same thing testing it on various coding questions. It's extremely good at problems that have solutions online. And given stackoverflow, that's a lot of problems. If you manage to hit it with something that it hasn't seen before though, even if it's conceptually very straightforward, it tends to just generate a mix of boilerplate and nonsense.

By double brick do you mean a "full brick" wall that is as thick as one brick is long or a cavity wall with a air cavity?
Both have pretty terrible insulation, basically negligible and i can't imagine anyone is building modern wood framed buildings with worse insulation. Even 5 cm of rockwool has 4 times the insulation value of a basic cavity wall, 6 times as much as a full brick wall.
With a cavity wall the outer layer is not structural so it's not really sturdier.

I'd take modern wood frame construction or aerated concrete with insulation and a brick veneer over a cavity wall or a full brick wall any day.
It depends on a person's financial situation, from my understanding: if you have a lot of debt(which the average USA household does), you benefit greatly the more inflation goes up. If you have money sitting in the bank, you're basically getting eaten alive. If you have assets, they typically should be tracking inflation somewhat(real estate, some stock categories, TIPS, etc...).

People will be in between any of the above situation simultaneously, but between having to get fired and seeing costs go up a little at a time, I imagine most people will defer the gut punch and take the erosion of spending power.

> This is in direct contrast to typical REST-ish APIs that may use arbitrary identifiers. In these systems, clients must understand the identifiers and how they compose into paths to be used as URIs to request content.

> Unfortunately almost all web frameworks are designed for the REST-ish applications where the client constructs URIs, and have the concept of a router based on path segments.

I would argue that most frameworks do not really use REST, they use a form of HTTP and JSON based RPC. This goes back to the discussion about HATEOAS. In this case we see a clear advantage HATEOAS has with regards to architecture flexibility and ability to decentralize. With a HATEOAS REST API you do not construct URIs, you just follow them.

All of those are down, but housing isn't, thats why they are chasing it like crazy.

If I am not wrong, in London the most prevalent number fo homes owned was 1, then 2 and then it was like 7. Because 3-6 was expensive but not maximising yield, by 7 your investment pays for itself plus then you can accrue value to buy more property. So landlords get as many as possible. In the early 2010s when I was renting there a landlady asked us to pay rent on direct debit every 1st of the month because she had 42 properties and couldn't afford all the mortages if everyone didn't pay at once. An 82 year old lady, with 42 properties. This was not uncommon when meeting landlords at the time (maybe not as crazy as 42 but still higher than 5 was commmon).
To add to this, old growth wood that was used on older housing is of significantly higher quality than modern wood

Note: I am the author of this article.

Yes, nothing I wrote negates the need for other security precautions. Keeping around a software which is accessible from the internet while not installing any updates for it (the vulnerability in question was already two years old) – obviously a bad idea. Installing software updates timely is always the first step for everyone.

But to address a specific concern of uploading your passwords to the cloud, a strong master password is a solution. And: no, keeping all passwords stored in a local file is far less convenient but not necessarily more secure.

1. I think it is a good argument because it exposes the incoherence and false dichotomy of the statement in question. It isn’t even clear to me what rate of short term listings to long term listings would be indicative of healthy economy. Is it a problem? How big of a problem it is? What are its real causes? I think that would require a real econometric study instead of data “quote”-mining.

2. Oh, so there are also “the rich landlords”, who stand in opposition to “locals”. Who else do we have? Politicians and construction companies. All of them seem to partake in that grand conspiracy of lack of xenophobia to serve entitled foreigners through legal means. If only they could learn about Blut und Boden calculus of not harming locals…

Amazing story. Nile Rodgers is a legend.

The second point on your reactions “It’s been done before” is very crucial.

That defeats the point of your argument that “AI generates a game. It comes up with rules for the game”.

No, it doesn’t. It plagiraised the game and pretended to come up with it. It just used a random puzzle game that it had on its training set.

It’s like asking it to write a poem and getting the same exact poem from a random google search. It didn’t come up with it. It just copied it. It’s not as amazing as you say it is.

Also if you look I comments you can see that it’s not even just one game. There are several games that are exactly like that. Which means more probability of having it in a training set.

I wish you success on your next venture, but if the problem you're focused on solving is "creating wealth by building a SaaS product," your focus itself might be holding you back.

Imagine going into a meeting with a potential customer and saying "Hi, my name's armanm, and I'm looking forward to our chat today about how I'm creating wealth for myself." They would probably walk out of the room!

If there's any one commonality I've observed across almost all the successful business owners I've met, it's that they're intensely focused on one or more customer problems. They've picked a market that they know well (meaning they know a lot about it, and they also know a lot of people who are in it). And they ultimately spoke with hundreds or thousands of people in that market, figured out where there was a common need and how much everyone was willing to pay to fulfill that need, and they they came up with a solution. They're usually so obsessed with solving this problem their customers have, that it's hard to get them to talk about anything else!

If you approach it as a personal or passion project to fulfill your own goals, the response of the market will probably be lukewarm because your pitch, your product, or any other number of things probably won't be calibrated correctly. Whereas if you dedicate yourself to understanding, mastering, and solving a pressing problem for a bunch of people who want to spend money, you have a much higher chance of success.

One way that your own interests definitely factor in is when you have personally been a member of that market, experienced the need yourself and would be willing to pay for the solution and have spoken to a bunch of other people who feel the same way. That's a long list of criteria but if you meet them all you have a very high chance of success. That's why the average age of a successful entrepreneur when they found their company is 42. It takes years and years to acquire all the knowledge and meet all the people but once you do, it becomes vastly easier for the rest to fall into place.

It is fairly typical of HN to err on the side of cynicism.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ChatGPT is a very fancy auto-complete function. It's has no ability to create from scratch, just the ability to recompile and recontextualise any of the many existing pieces it has in its library.

It's unlikey that this game or its rules are truely original, ChatGPT will have just plucked it from the library, perhaps given it a new name.

Thank you for the advice. Your write up was valuable to me. I also want to have a lean approach to the problem, I am just overwhelmed with the whole architecture which is needed around something which should be simple (as a pet project).
The documentation doesn't, and cannot, mention how to install said dependencies for each distro and version. It is non trivial, and hand waving that is like the "draw the rest of the owl" meme.

Even if the 10 most popular distros were documented, with all their supported versions, and if it covered windows and mac versions as well, and dealt with people in corporation not having admin rights on their machine, you'd still have so many steps a human error will be more likely to be inserted than just use what I suggested.

Again showing that you are so good at dealing with complexity you are not even seing it.

The only way I could convince you at this point would be to make you train 10 different teams, of 10 different people in 10 different contexts and give you one million of dollar if after one year you come back to see that their department has this stuff streamlined.

But I can't do that so that will have to be the end of this thread.

I think for mobile interfaces it might be easier to have the engine as the top half of the screen and the boosters as the bottom L/R quarters. That way you could use one thumb each for roll inputs and an index finger for thrust, without having to be very precise about aiming your taps.
There is an issue with how people are personifying ChatGPT and assigning it agency.

Some want to talk of these LLMs as approximating an intelligent actor. If that's the case, then we also need to assign metaphors for things like deceit and coercion. We also need to consider assignments of novelty to what's generated and think of their rights as quasi-sentient, etc.

Some want to talk about them as probabilistic text token generators, which brings the benefit of not being intelligent or independent actors at all really but also then comes with the issue of intellectual property theft in training them on information not licenced for reproduction or commercial use.

The industry prefers to thread the needle between these as the former case brings some pretty wild conversations and the latter may mean lawsuits.
It's even less updated than WPF : last commit May 14, 2021.
Absolutely, this is why I used the term "REST-ish" because while it's the term the industry have decided to use, it's exactly because it's not really REST that it causes these issues.

What is this, Apollo 15?
Absolutely atrocious design, i honestly thought they had been hacked at first.

Way to much whitespace, the bg texture all over the place only ads non sensical visual noise, the green base colour is off compared to the old more dull blue reflecting a "serious" business.

This new retro 2001'ish texturing aesthetic is way too special for a money transferring service, including the "music poster font". And i like that dot-com aesthetic, but it can't just be pasted on-top of a modern layout. It needs to be compact and subdued by a tight grid.

The old app looked clean and worked great, and was honestly one of the reasons i choose this service for several business.

This design makes me want to leave and lots of people i know would think 'what??' if i recommended a page looking this for anything serious.
I guess you can be glib about it but you should consider that if you are seen as having no awareness of or concern for accessibility then you aren't going to be taken remotely seriously when you write about UI creation.
> A free market for mortgages would not enable such a product

The complaint doesnt make sence. 'Free market' does not set fiscal policy or manage base interest rates at all.

There is no subsidy - If you take a 2% mortgage and suddenly base rate goes up to 20%, the taxpayer does not pay 18%. The government would be paying itself.
Unless you shorten it to low single digits (which would be nice, but so are unicorns) you'd still want a way to make things available that the original author no longer has a commercial interest in. It doesn't benefit society to make things unvailable, even if it is "only" for 10 or 20 years.

This is a really good video about how the accessibility of building automation with tools such as Raspberry Pi and Python is so much greater than people realise. This most interesting point it towards the end, this was built in-house by an employee, they didn't go out and bring in an automation consultancy, they used their own experience and enabled their own employees to build it.

Does youtube host an audio only version? I wasn't aware that was something that they did. My understanding is that all Youtube content is video only. Even if the screen is blank, you're being served some content with a video codec. I've done a little cursory searching and to my knowledge, Youtube does not offer an MP3 link to any content (from their API or embedded on the page).
In this case I think I'd give ChatGPT the benefit of the doubt. It is possible to invent something that already exists, and it has happened on several occasions trough-out history. A great example is the history on who was really first at inventing the telephone. In the end Alexander Graham Bell got the patent, but perhaps Elisha Gray was actually first? Historians remain divided on the topic.

For instance, I once found what I thought was an ingeniously original idea about about how TV is really just a kind of reflection of reality akin to Plato's Cave. I immediately got started writing a thesis about it, but I didn't have to search for long on the topic before I found an entire book written on this way of thinking about television. I wasn't really disappointed, because in the back of my head I knew that it had too be too good to be true that I'd be first with such a great idea. In any case I kept working with the thesis, and I still did got a good grade on it despite the idea not being revolutionary.

The questions I now wonder about is, can ChatGPT forget? Or could it be that ChatGPT was never exposed to this game, but could still infer it through other game rules, such as those for Soduko? Which I guess opens up another rabbit hole on if or how AI can be creative. Which I guess opens up another rabbit hole on how creativity works in general.
Could it be plausible that ChatGTP processed some text describing this exact game, where it is claimed that the idea is novel (because it was, at that time)? Since ChatGPT does not understand the concept of novelty, it would simply "learn" that the rules are novel, and then repeat the rules, still claiming that they're novel. After all, that's the information it was trained with :)

People often forget that sudoku has a number of rules which make the game deterministic:

Sudoku Rule: Don’t Guess

Sudoku Rule: Unique Solution

You aren't supposed to guess at any point, instead solving the puzzle by determining a number's position by logical deduction. You aren't supposed to just jot something down and hoping for the best.

Each sudoku puzzle should have one single valid solution. This has been used in the past by a devious creator that built his sudoku in such a way that the final n numbers to be filled led to two deduction paths; one leading to a single solution, the other to two possible solutions. As such, the only valid solution is the path where uniqueness remained.

I didn't look at the code for Sumplete, but using similar rules when building the puzzle seems obvious.
