This is important, and even here on HN people are frequently ascribing to ChatGPT various qualities (“understanding”, “learning”, etc.) that misunderstand what it is doing. ChatGPT can perform a trick: it produces conversations that have the texture of human ones, skipping entirely the step of understanding the underlying ideas. Obviously a lot of people see utility in this ability, but there are limits to what this approach can do.

I did read your comment and you gave a lot of anecdotal reasons why charge backs screw you over despite you doing such a good job and never deserving it. Doesn’t change the fact that charge backs are an inherent good and as someone who has charged back it isn’t like you just press a button. You have to give dates, names and reasons + wait for them to determine. It’s also a prerequisite to have reached out to the seller and gotten nowhere.

Well, the reddit discussion suggests mailing jeff@amazon.com.

Clearly the team behind this sucks and needs to get reprimanded by someone a bit higher up, so that's who you mail. If that doesn't work either, you can always sue them later. But I'd first let your lawyer write them. That can sometimes shake them up. Maybe Legal will realise that they really do owe this money and they'd better avoid a lawsuit.

people worry about the sun swelling to a red giant and consuming the earth (far before heat death), ignoring that by then humans will have evolved into very non-humans, or gone extinct, or most likely both, ages before.

This is so much time that humanity (if still alive) could advance technology so much that we would be able to workaround heat death too. This is borderline sci-fi, but I believe we could bend almost any known laws of Physics with enough advancement.

There is a nonzero possibility that "human lifetime" becomes unfathomably long eventually.
Or monitor them.
In humans this is the process of taking short term memory and converting it to long term memory involves a process called consolidation where the structure of the physical brain changes, I guess this would be tantamount to a reweighting of the neural net. It's generally not a one shot thing, especially as the concepts get more complex and have more parts to learn.

One of the things humans do is forget a lot of unimportant crap so we're not constantly rewriting our brains. Of course there is a the issue of how do we make sure we're training our AI how to learn multiplication and not feeding it a diet of junk food information/fake news too.

This must have been written by someone that just learnt about sampling theory and thought "aha! Pixels are samples!" without actually thinking about real life.

This was written by one of the fathers of computer graphics.

chriswarbo was completely right, but was downvoted anyway. You are conflating displays of pixels with calculating the color of each pixel that goes into an image.

Each pixel in a rendered image is weighted average using a specific filter over an area around a pixel. If you treat that as a square, you get a 1x1 box filter which is terrible for anti-aliasing. You can try this by playing with renderer settings so you understand what he's talking about in the context he was talking about.

Tell HN: Newsletters Are the New 'Zines
I just saw this thing called the "Prompt Report". Funny, cool. Finger on the pulse. Someone enjoying writing the zeitgeist. Sharing that excitement with all of us. And it hit me. And I had to tell you all.
Exactly!

One of my best experiences has been asking ChatGPT to explain physical models, give me equations, change some parameters, evaluate/solve the equations or give me code to run and solve the model, iterating with it along the way.

It is definitely not perfect, but in those iterative cases when trying to learn something new, in a field that you are familiar with (so you can tell or at least can quickly check, if it’s wrong or right).
"Its", not "It's".

A helpful tip: whenever you need to decide whether to use one or the other, ask yourself whether you want to say "it is"; if so, use "it's"; otherwise, use "its".

Interestingly, ChatGPT knows whether to use "it's" or "its" at what seems like a superhuman level, but we don't even really know how it knows whether to use "a" vs. "an": https://clementneo.com/posts/2023/02/11/we-found-an-neuron
A compelling case for a cause in the growth in teenage depression: reverse CBT.

> In CBT you learn to recognize when your ruminations and automatic thinking patterns exemplify one or more of about a dozen “cognitive distortions,” such as catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, fortune telling, or emotional reasoning. Thinking in these ways _causes_ depression

The past decade these three beliefs have grown in prevalence:

1. What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker

2. Always trust your feelings

3. Life is a battle between good people and evil people.

They are all cognitive distortions and many schools today endorse them. Rather than teaching students skills of critical thinking, they encourage the distortions (reverse CBT).
Got it! I misunderstood your comment. We are in agreement then!

So basically, chlorine compounds (hydrochloric acid) in the atmosphere from CFCs (old aerosols, fridges) turn back into chlorine thanks to the smoke particles, which wouldn't otherwise happen, and the sun then causes the chlorine to break down in sunlight to chlorine ions which "eat the ozone".

So it's a race against time between the ozone recovering through the decay of these CFC-related harmless chemicals, and smoke from wildfires making the ozone larger and not recovering.

Not all wildfires send smoke high enough though.

Interesting read!
This one is less awful than other similar features, since it relies on a single source.

However, it's going to take me awhile to come to terms with the fact that AI makes ownership obsolete.
The question of whether it has a representational model of the terms it's using is open at the moment.

I'm strongly inclined to deny it, but the argument on this is at least quite complex and subject to premises which are less certain than the following:

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

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

That's sufficient to invalidate the idea that it has any relevant capacities here. We even know, for example, that it randomly chooses unlikely words to make its output seem more reasonable: this mechanism alone invalidates it having a representational model.

---
And on the former point: if we look at pretty much all plausible theories of meaning, the meaning of terms cannot be anything like what ChatGPT has access to.

I think what ChatGPT has is something like "a statistically approximate model of word connotation".

Whether a statistical approximation of part of meaning counts as "being meaningful" is a matter of debate. (I think it clearly doesnt.)

Ask HN: Is Google seeking to strangle ChatGPT?
It seems like Google search result quality is in rapid decline -- it's not respecting keyword operators, I'm getting more captchas, and I increasingly find myself resorting to use ChatGPT as a first-hop to get more granular when say, searching config docs for an open-source project, where the LLM may associate a keyword with a switch better than the docs Google will turn up...

Is this a tactic? Before ChatGPT is effectively monetized create excess traffic? Scrape ChatGPT logic with searchers doing the manual labor of porting those insights?

This looks like a miserable failure.
It's helpful.

It's especially helpful to people who are both new to Rust AND come at Rust from language ecosystems with a garbage collector.

People are new to Rust but have come to it from a C/C++ have had to worry about ownership all the time, so they might not find anything here a revelation except this: "Oh wow, the Rust compiler takes care of all of this for me! No inadvertent memory leaks?! Yaay!"
This is an interesting phenomenon, how some people focus on the design of the page rather than the content. We see it quite regularly on HN related to blog post such as this. One wonders if the sibling commentors here have ever heard of "bike shedding"?

I personally appreciate the content, so thanks for that!

It's interesting to note that applying the second law of thermodynamics to the whole universe, even if we didn't know about expansion, yields one of the biggest disconnects between prediction and observation since the ultraviolet catastrophe. If the second law applied to the whole universe, we should expect the Big Bang to have been quickly followed by a heat death. Having the entire universe we see today become so extraordinarily well organized from an initial glob of hot uniform plasma would have an inexpressably small probability. It seems far more likely to say that, for as yet un-determined reasons, the second law can't apply to the universe as a whole, only to certain subsets of it.

Might also suggest that the problem of black hole entropy is not actually settled, and that black holes could in fact simply reduce entropy instead of emitting Hawking radiation.

Also, it's interesting to note that expansion of the universe actually "breaks" the first law of thermodynamics: energy is not actually being conserved, new energy is being created. This can happen because the first law of thermodynamics only applies in a fixed size space, while in the expansion model we believe that space itself (the coordinate system, as it were) is expanding.

There are no perfect solutions, but there is possible balance where OS features are abstracted into higher level concepts, not 1:1.

For very contrived example, the cross platform settings panel widget exposes the business API required for settings in general, while the platform specific code takes care of using the host platform concepts to display and manage application specific settings.

While it is more work than lowest common denominator approach, it is still much less than re-inventing the wheel.

As proven by mobile OS platforms, there are still hope for native toolkits.
