Nobody knows how general anaesthetics work. It's a stone cold mystery. Solving that mystery might lead to a new generation of anaesthetic agents or some other useful medical technology, but nobody is particularly perturbed by our ignorance; a practical knowledge of how to safely and reliably induce anaesthesia is immeasurably more valuable than a theoretical understanding.

Science might aspire to rationality, but reality is Bayesian.
While Catholics may be Christians, it is disingenuous to assert this is the teaching of the Church or that a majority or plurality of faithful Catholics have this position.

There is a very clear delineation between temptation and sin in the Catholic world.
In my experience, we don't get the society we ask for (though asking is the first step). We get the society we make happen, and that has pros and cons.

The current setup is this way because of a very complex set of intertwining factors which are shifting constantly. So 'shoulds' are plentiful and never ending.

'Is', however, is right in front of us.

>The correlations are built into a prediction model. Sometimes those predictions can be near certain, which is indistinguishable from human understanding.

This is quite literally not what the word understanding means, and trying to use my words against me in this way just makes you seem smarmy and butthurt. And if you are going to converse with me like that, I'm not going to engage when your material is a) pointed and aggressive, and b) completely non-responsive to what I wrote.

Show HN: GitNotebooks – Review Jupyter Notebooks from GitHub
Hey, everyone!

I'm excited to share my latest project with you all - GitNotebooks. It's a tool that allows you to easily review Jupyter Notebooks from GitHub pull requests.

As a software engineer working in the ML space, I found that there weren't many options for diffing and reviewing Jupyter Notebooks from GitHub pull requests. So, I decided to create a solution that provides the ability to do so in a way that matches the GitHub look and feel, with the ability to add inline comments alongside precise markdown and code diffs.

GitNotebooks offers the following features:

- Precise markdown and code diffs with inline comments

- Integration with PR creation - (a link is posted to the PR if a notebook change is detected)

- Easy setup with just a few clicks

You can check it out for yourself by visiting the website: GitNotebooks.com

I would love to hear your feedback and answer any questions you may have. Thanks for taking the time to check out GitNotebooks!
I would not call Java streamlined by any measure, API size, library size, or LOCs.
If you want to see a streamlined API, see Typescript + Webpack which will trump in all of those metrics.

Source: Me, Java coding professionally since Java 1.0 when it was "streamlined" in 1997, and Typescript for the last 5 years.
Yes. Terraform doesn't actively manage resources, opererators do.
> A product is always a combination of features. That’s kind of the definition of a product.

So if your product is flour or plate glass... ?

Many products are combinations of things. A simple bench is lumber and screws and paint. But lumber and screws and paint are all widely available commodities. Someone who sells benches doesn't have to sell screws for them to be available in the market. They may not even manufacture the screws, so anyone who wants them can buy them from the same place they did.

When it becomes tying is when there is any part of your product that customers might want to buy separately, but nobody else makes it, so it isn't available separately, from anyone. You can only get it tied to the other parts. That's tying.

> Do you also think Tesla should sell its battery to Ford?

I think Telsa would be happy to sell batteries to Ford. They'd build another battery factory and make a lot of money.

Do you think Tesla should be able to prohibit anyone from taking the battery out of a Tesla and using it in some other car or for some other purpose?

> Is it “tying” when Nintendo doesn’t let you run “PlaystationOS” on a Nintendo Switch?

Obviously. What makes you think that is some kind of controversial result? Anybody who wants to should be able to install iOS on their XBOX.

> When Jobs came back and introduced the iMac, Apple wasn’t exactly a behemoth in 1997. Enough users chose using their own free will to buy an integrated product (with a shitty operating system) to get Apple back to profitability.

Buying an integrated product isn't the same thing as buying a product because it's integrated. By definition if they want any of the parts that isn't available separately, they have to buy the whole thing.

And as shitty as MacOS Classic was, it wasn't as shitty as Windows ME.

> ios would be a worse user experience (on worse hardware) if it was running on Samsung phones.

Not compared to the same Samsung phone running Android, presumably.

> Wow, all they have to do is getter better, I’m sure they never thought about that...

You asked what their competitive advantage would be. For years it was superior process. It's not physically impossible for them to do that again. We just don't know if they will yet.

> And the third party they are fabbing for is MediaTek and it’s based on a 22nm process - which was stated of the art in 2012.

Because their problem was caused by their existing process being a mess. They have to be able to do state of the art in volume before they can sell it to somebody else.

The more significant development was Arc on TSMC.

> By 2011, if Apple had completely killed the Mac, it would have still been more profitable than any computer company. Fast forward to today, and the Mac only makes up about 10% of their revenue.

How does that affect the state of their integrated product just before the Intel switch when they didn't have a competitive PowerPC processor?

There are many gaps in the robotics market. But there are 2 main show stoppers:
1. Starting robotics venture is very expensive. You need at least 3 engineers(hardware+software+electronics) for at least 3 years with tons of expensive hardware to reach MVP.
2. The clients will not buy from a company that might be gone in 2 years when the whole installation is planned for a decade. The client is mostly integrator choosing familiar system components.
The 3rd show stopper is that the product must work 100% or the time. 99,5% is not enough. Automation is here to replace people instead of having a robot with maintenance crew nearby.
R7RS is a great improvement over R5RS, and avoids a lot of pitfalls of R6RS.

I wish they standardized the filename lookup for libraries as well, then distribution of libraries between scheme implementations would become easier.
On existing projects, how do you know/verify that the modifications made by GPT-3 actually work? Do the commits need to be manually tested by a developer?

Or does it work only on generic projects (e.g. bootstrapped with next.js) where the bot already knows the files to modify? (hence it always works)

> It does not form a representational state prior to speaking which is the reason it speaks.

The whole thing is a representational state, and the fact that it's identical at the start of every conversation is a design choice, not inherent to the way the model learns.

> In other-words, it does not say, "I like ice-cream" because it likes ice-cream.

You also don't say "I like ice-cream" because you like ice cream. You say it because through years of evolution you've been taught to crave fat and sugar and other things in ice cream, which fuels your body, and helps you live and reproduce. The fact that this AI is optimizing for something else doesn't really prove anything.

I also don't think that we have anything more than a "statistically approximate model" of anything outside of our own thoughts. The theory of gravity exists because we've seen objects fall from heights a million times, we're told by others we speak to that they experience the same thing. From this we can say that with 99.9999...% (enough 9s to be indistinguishable from 100) probability, the theory of gravity is true.

No offense, but I don't think .bat files are that popular, which means ChatGPT did not see enough of them to really learn them enough.

Try asking for some Bash or Python instead and compare the results.
Fair point. I could have placed a greater emphasis on ownership and mutability being two separate axes.

That said, I think you downplay the ways that references and mutability do interact in Rust. If there is a single outstanding reference to a value, Rust won't let anyone mutate the underlying value. I think this is quite an important part of Rust to understand that's not obvious to someone who's new and especially coming from a language that enforces no such guarantees about mutability.
On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information...

How does he know that? And how does he know the bot isn't like that?

Human mind needs a long time to learn to operate with symbolic information. Until we learn, we use terabytes of data from our senses and feedback from parents, teachers.

ChatGPT can analyze syntax in a text, just try it, I did.

And then Chomsky talks about morals? That's a really weird turn. He's saying it's a dumb machine, then criticize it for not being more commited.
Importantly, the sega saturn kind of wasn't a true 3D engine that had quads as it's primitive, but rather a stamp/sprite based system that allowed to you skew, warp, and transform those rectangular images in very powerful ways, mostly being able to reproduce 3D scenes but with certain caveats about the "polygons" that caused some limitations. One good example was that the system has no concept of UV maps. Each polygon is exactly the whole texture, linearly warped. This means you can't do, for example, environment mapping natively

Not mentioned: importmap is supported in Firefox as of February. Also supported in Chrome and upcoming for Safari. Just in time as I finally started getting more into cutting edge JS with a personal project - job's been stuck on older JS for a long time and I haven't done personal projects in just as long.

I've been running this project straight in the browser with no JS compiler. Are JS compilers going to be on the way out now?
Meh. Just like anything else on the internet. Value can be derived if the person using it has both critical thinking as well as the capacity to spot the flaws or falsehoods.

In this sense it's literally no worse than reading random "news" articles and somehow taking it all as fact at face value.

If you fall into the trap of taking everything ChatGPT tells you as gospel you've already lost.

As for the so called false promise, this is old man yells at clouds stuff.
Exactly this. The paper describes person-years spent training the model specifically for "alignment". If the paper instead claimed that the model was directly produced from a data corpus without this training step, that would falsify my above claims (i.e., they are falsifiable).
That assumes there are no discounts to be had by partnering with large companies making switches, doesn't it? Wooting partnered with Gateron to build their Lekker hall-effect switches. I would be very surprised if their BOM for switches alone on the 104-key model was $125 given it retails for $195-- and that includes 104 keycaps, the case, cable, packaging, controller board, etc.

No doubt they're considerably more expensive than regular mechanical switches, but it's unclear how much of that expense comes from their being pretty rare right now and not benefiting from economies of scale. That's my hope, at any rate, because again-- they're just plain better.
I run my own mail server and it is not an easy task.

First you need an un-tainted ip-address/network. Then you need to get it all right with spf, dkim, dmarc, dane etc. One mistake or misconfiguration and emails from your server will at best end up in the junk folder.

Not to mention the server maintenance.

Even if you think you got it all done, you will not be welcome at all recipients (I'm looking at you Microsoft).

It's quite a pain, but I still keep at it because I have the interest and time.
The $100B number given is across Medicaid and Medicare together. Medicare spend in 2021 was around $901B so the total would be $1.635 trillion. This means around 6% of the total spend was fraud not 14%. It would be interesting to see the estimated fraud for each program. The examples in the article were Medicare fraud and not Medicaid.

Medicare directly pays providers but Medicaid is provided through block grants from the federal government to the states. The individual states administrator the Medicaid programs within their state. Some states direct pay providers as Medicare does and some work almost entirely through private insurance plans which Medicaid funds cover the premiums for. Because of this the level of Medicaid fraud likely varies much more between states than it does for Medicare.
No, you can't say the same thing as a person because a person can express reasoning. ChatGPT can't, because it can't reason. You may ask yourself, "wow, is there perhaps a magical algorithm in humans capable of reasoning that is the ultimate source of what emanated from this other person, being that I'm not actually sure everyone else is real?" - that's totally different from what's going on with ChatGPT when it just puts out more dreck, but arbitrarily states "this is reasoning". Like, try and read the article - he deals with this point EXACTLY.
This is an experimental research we did mostly because we thought it was cool and new.

There are limitations indeed, though if you compare similar APIs with similar business intent, their structure should also have similarity, unlike your example.

For the popularity metrics, I will take a look - I admit we can do better :)
My dad had the bag phone, but the bag itself sat on a shelf in the closet. The handset was mounted to the dashboard of his truck, so we used the term "car phone" rather than "bag phone."
The total in TULIP's "total depravity" is not a measure of sinfulness. It is not meant to imply that we are naturally as evil as possible in every context. The "total" is speaking in terms of the extent of depravity. That is to say, sin touches and influences every aspect of our existence. So that even in good works with the best of intentions humanly possible, there still exists an element of self exalting corruption.

Is this actually true, or is it just hysteria from someone unfamiliar with manufacturing? Because I live in New Zealand, which is on a similar deindustrialization path to America, but with obviously much less manufacturing in the first place. But we nonetheless have a burgeoning manufacturing robotics industry for what we still have - wood processing, pulp and paper, agriculture, etc.
Interesting.

I've used json-translator in the past.

Totally, I also think there's a huge vicious cycle risk with these tools.

The more we rely on them, the more our own mental model of existence and knowledge will adapt to become little more than statistical aggregates of data. Science has already trended this way in certain areas. We used to reason from deductive principles, look for data, and fit data to both inductive hypotheses and deductive principles. Steadily we've come to care less and less about the deductive part and think of everything in terms of probabilities and statistical models. While this is not bad per se, I do think our growing ignorance of deductive reasoning causes us to miss some important aspects of existence.

But computing applications also tend to use more or all of the available power... so by itself, tech improvements do not mean that power used will go down correspondingly. (or else thanks to processor Flops/watt improvements, we'd have most laptops running for days on their current batteries, right?)

It seems we'd only expect power use to go down when autonomous driving applications are "feature complete" and stop having a use for additional compute power.

In the meantime, discussions of limits based on achievable/acceptable power draw (a la phones which I would guess have been in a consistent range for years now) are more likely to be meaningful.
FYI you can turn off the auto-playing ability of trailers in your settings on the website. They will then take affect in any Netflix app you use, too. It's stupid you can't set it from the app, but I turned off autoplaying trailers the day it came out and have liked using Netflix a lot more since then.

I honestly don't think people (at least, the sorts of people on HN) are generally missing this point at all. I think a lot of people are calling out the absurd claims that are being made about it, though, as they should be.
Unfortunately, yes.

I keep telling the missus that we only have about a decade remaining when it is worthwhile to invest in a top-tier television. After that, even with glasses we won't appreciate the upgrade enough to be worthwhile.

Ditto with PC monitors. I spent a lot of money on 4K as an early adopter because I had better than 20:20 vision and could appreciate the difference. These days I sometimes don't even notice if something is running at 1080p! An upgrade to 8K would be a waste of money.

Of course, when my kid grows up and I have to buy him new electronics, I get an excuse to spend money on expensive gadgets again...
Actually the structure of ChatGPT was formed by hammering it with phenomenal amounts of information. When you give it a prompt and ask it to do a task, it's working off a surprisingly small amount of information.

The training of ChatGPT is more accurately compared with the evolution of the brain, and a human answering a question is much more like the information efficient prompt/response interaction.
Or maybe after imbibing large amounts of hormones and the desire to be both seen as women and accepted by women their perception of previously normal behavior changed and they now view it's as assumed persecution to fit in.

With some exceptions, increased efficiency has historically been used to increase capabilities rather than reduce consumption.

It’s by no means ridiculous to assume that this might happen here too, and in fact publishing analyses that make the assumption might be exactly what helps make conservation a priority and breaks those same assumptions.
I imagine if it passes the knock-on effect would be massive amounts of rental properties flooding Airbnb, the oversupply eventually forcing prices down and destroying margins for many existing hosts.

> It's just recycling things that other humans have said.

This seems false, unless you mean that everything anyone says is just words others have said in a different order.

For example, I asked ChatGPT: "Write a fictional story of if Peter Parker joined the 2016 OKC Thunder." One of my favorite parts is: "...determined to balance his superhero duties with his love of basketball. He even designed a special suit that allowed him to play without revealing his identity."

This isn't recycling... at least not in the way I think a lot of people think of recycling.
