I think the biggest possible upside of AI is that there will be a brief money grab where people are raking in money on automatically generated internet content - then the internet will be filled with useless noise and no one will use it in the obsessive, drip-fed-dopamine-IV way we currently use it- cause it will all just be garbage. Social media will continue to exist, but consuming content will require trust in the publisher e.g. tied to a real identity or to a trusted anonymous or business entity.

Just my speculation, but I think the more garbage we put on the internet the better

> Everyday I’m using Google search less and less, while using ChatGPT more and more.

Yeah, it was a single-drive duplicator, and you loaded a stack of 3.5" diskettes in. You could command it to load a diskette and eject a diskette, and I think he'd said there was an "out of diskettes" indication.

The floppy drive itself was a regular old PC drive, 34-pin interface, just mounted in a machine on a long cable vs. inside the PC case.

Bigger, fancier duplicators have multiple drives and write in parallel, but due to the cheaper configuration of this single-drive duplicator, it was possible to use it like a tape library. Mostly this was for fun, I'm sure he had tape drives on which to save his backups!
I definitely agree with a balance of both approaches being optimal. Some people need one and some people the other.

I'm actually someone that would've probably also benefited from a tougher approach, as I've wasted a lot of years aimlessly floating through life because I never got any pushback. A few years ago, I would have completely agreed with your first comment, but I've since met some people who allowed me to see things from a different perspective.

And, as you said, there will sadly always be people that take the easiest path to feeling good about themselves instead of the path that best for the person with issues.

Anyway, thanks for the interesting discussion!
On a related note, has anyone noticed the growing use of "pretty" as a hedge against ever being wrong? Also, "not", as in "not the fastest" or "not the hottest".

It could be 46C/115F outside and you say "wow, today is unbearably hot", to which someone retorts "nah, it's fine. It's not the hottest day". That's pretty good hedging. You can make infinite technically correct statements this way without ever saying anything meaningful

(Someone more knowledgeable should correct me if I’m wrong) But my basic understanding of LLCs, subsidiaries …etc is to create boundaries with parent company - usually to shield the parent company. I really doubt if what you’re claiming is true that Amazon has access to one medical data, they’ll have any form of protection at all. Hypothetically speaking, one medical did something horrid and so disastrous that they’re going to have to pay billions of dollars, Amazon would just wind down that unit and not suffer any major consequences. How would this be allowed if there’s no boundary?

Edit: so I looked it up

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/23/amazon-one-medical-deal-give...

“As required by law, Amazon will never share One Medical customers’ personal health information outside of One Medical for advertising or marketing purposes of other Amazon products and services without clear permission from the customer,” an Amazon spokesperson said in an email. “Should the deal close, One Medical customers’ HIPAA Protected Health Information will be handled separately from all other Amazon businesses, as required by law.”

Basically, like I thought, they can’t commingle or share data between the two companies. But if something being clearly illegal isn’t enough to convince people (or even the journalist), then that’s a different much bigger issue.

Also this:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/subsidiary.asp

A subsidiary is an independent company that is more than 50% owned by another firm—called the parent company or holding company.
Subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities from their parent companies.

That's the difference between the government compelling speech (1st Amendment) and serving warrants with due process (5th/14th Amendment).

IANAL, so not sure on recent case law, but last I knew (~2010 Apple encryption case?) the government couldn't compel a private company to change their existing architecture to expose data in unencrypted and/or physically/legally-accessible fashion.

If they already have data security implementation gaps or a tap-susceptible architecture, then it's a different matter. The government serves them a warrant, and they have to comply.

But if Amazon being compelled to reach into a network and retrieve video stored locally is a threat model, that should be mitigated by a tight firewall and non-updating devices...

Half of the IoT privacy gaps are because people don't run network security barriers anymore, and then are shocked when companies abuse them.
A site like GoodRx should be run as a non profit that’s completely independent from advertisers. Once they start to rely on advertisers they will go down the same corrupt path like most other players in US health care.

Hello,

I haven't replaced the toner yet, Kyocera doesn't recommend to use 3rd party one. I am not sure if I will go with original one as the one from my printer was supposed to be rate for 1200 pages, but the black has 35% ink left after printing 220 "black" pages, and CMY@65% after 350 full color pages.

Supposedly, it could print with only the black toner through a setting, but people online complained they couldn't.

I think I will try the 3rd party toner, it's basically 80CHF per toner, 350CHF to replace the 4 of them, which would be over the cost of the printer itself, but they are rated for 2200 pages vs 1200 for included one.

Finally, I am a bit wary on the long term support from the manufacturer, my printer is not listed anymore on their website, nor their official compatible toner.
"I think the best solution is to set content to auto-delete (unless flagged) after some period of time."

Steven Zapata has a really good video on Youtube about "the end of art". He offers this analogy:

If a factory worker at a car manufacturing plant was handed a screwdriver, and he claimed it was "replacing" him, we would know that he is incorrect; it is a tool designed to make him more productive. But the day they rolled out the robotic assembly lines, however, he was correct: those were designed to replace him. And they did. And now he lives in the Rust Belt with a degraded quality of life and few job prospects because he didn't just lern 2 code.

> I want FTC to put fear of god in bad actors like GoodRx.

I’m not sure I do. The FTC does civil enforcement and investigation. They identify misbehavior and issue the equivalent of parking tickets. If you also give them the ability to issue punishments then what prevents the FTC from using that power to line their own pockets by sabotaging (or threaten to sabotage) well behaved companies?

This penalty may not preclude lawsuits by GoodRx customers or further investigations by other organizations leading to criminal penalties.

I’m not a lawyer so I could be totally off base here but this is my understanding after dozens of these HN threads with similar comments.

> $1.5 million is pocket change for a company with $765 million annual revenue.

Is it? GoodRx hasn’t turned a profit since 2019. They lost $32.8 million on $766.5 million in revenue in 2022.
> The city collects $0 if there's no building no matter what the incentive was.

In reality that's not what happened. Amazon has had a very large unsubsidized office in Manhattan which predates their "HQ2" proposal and has quietly grown even larger in the years since I interviewed there. That they have significantly expanded their corporate offices in Hudson Yards without subsidy suggests that the tax breaks were unnecessary to begin with. Amazon was always going to staff up in NYC regardless of whether they got the tax break or not.

In general, subsidies of that sort for companies operating out of desirable locations like SF and NYC are unnecessary because the employer needs access to the highly educated talent pool in those cities far more than the city needs any individual employer.

These are mostly for managing your baseline anxiety levels:

Valerian capsules help, but get a good brand like Oregon's Wild Havest, valerian tends to pick up lead in the ground. Valerian helps a lot with panic attacks, too.

Make a habit of drinking rooibos tea. After it builds up in your system it counters cortisol (in my experience, very effectively). Mountain Rose Herbs sells quality rooibos.

Cut out caffeine, or try to limit it to green tea. Green tea has L-theanine in it, which helps with anxiety. I'd like to point out that caffeine doesn't leave your system completely for quite a while and reduces your quality of sleep leading to cognitive decline over time.

Eat well, sleep well and go outside more, preferably involving vigorous exercise.

(I have no affiliation with the brands mentioned above but if you're going the herbal route, quality is an important factor and those brands have worked quite well for me)
Linux has been pretty stable for decades now. I’ve been using the same core configs and bulk data in my home compute environment basically since I started using Linux. Remote repos for any syncing needs, then just tar/rsync bulk archive data over. Store longer term or stale data on older decommissioned HDDs.

I’ve been running more or less the same services through hardware, hypervisor, and now kubernetes migrations and revisions. It seems to me doing things “the Linux way”, sticking to open source where possible, is resistant to the fast pace of the consumer innovation market. When anything new comes along, it’s usually relatively trivial to transfer over.

Okay last comment in this sub-thread because I have to get back to my job here, which hilariously is adding some boxing and possibly cloning in order to improve a codebase.

I feel like I'm going crazy. I feel like this:

> if I can mostly ignore fussy ownership and borrowing stuff and just clone everything, all the time, getting rid of clones exclusively in places that I profile and learn to be in the hot path, and the resulting code will be idiomatic Rust

is exactly what my last comment said. This whole chain, in my experience, is me saying "clone is not a moral issue" and you saying "why are you saying that people that use clone should feel bad." So I need to bow out. I wish I could figure out where this disconnect is, but it's clear that this thread is not achieving that.

Circa 2003, Yahoo wasn't terrible. By our internal metrics, Yahoo search had better results than Bing before Yahoo started using Bing as their back-end. By that point, I suspect all of the major search engines were using some form of link-graph based ranking signals, likely modified both for scalability and avoiding the PageRank patent.

Maybe I was a bit loose with my definition of "Early Google", but in the 2003-2010 time frame, the major search engines had pretty well figured out the most common 95% to 99% of queries.

ChatGPT is “only” a chat interface to GPT.

GPT basically has access to two contexts: its internals, and the prompt that it gets

Then when you ask something to ChatGPT, it takes your prompt and it generates a new prompt that includes the previous messages in your session, so that GPT can use them as context.

But, there’s a limit to the size of the prompt. And it’s not that big.

So then ChatGPT’s magic is figuring out how to crafts prompts, within the size limits, to feed GPT, so that it has enough context to give a good answer.

Essentially, ChatGPT is some really amazing prompt-engineering system with a great interface.
I've been considering this, but my assumption is that it would be tripped up by the specialist words.

Supposedly.

The trouble is there's no way for me to know how true this noise theory is. I'm given no option by these search engines to "just show me all the crap." What search engines do today is so filtered and heuristical that there are apparently phrases and ideas that have never been expressed on the internet ever, or at least that's the impression I'd get if I was more naive.

Besides, it's not like there isn't noise anyway. Ever click on the top results only to find that nothing matches your query and probably never did?

I've never seen this, but I'll admit some ignorance. Have there been 2A-themed protests following 4A violations (as in, civil asset forfeitures of money, say), similar to those we see when the 2A is challenged in some way?
