I read an interview a few years ago where a reporter asked a writer what was the difference between authors who made it and authors who didn't. The writer said that the ones who made it stuck with it. They just kept on writing despite years and years without strong sales or recognition.

If you're going to stick with it, there has to be something there beyond a desire for sales or widespread praise.

Success, too, has its downsides. My wife is a painter--and if you think it's hard to make a living at writing, try painting. She met another painter who makes a huge income, but that painter complained, "My first sales were paintings of boats. And for years now, everyone comes to me wanting a boat. I'm bored to death of them. I want to paint other subjects, but this is what pays, so I keep doing it, as frustrating as it is."

Look into fiction writing, and you'll find few writers whose publishers will let them write outside their genres. Those writers may want to explore, but the publishers know what has sold in the past, and they want more of that. The only major author I can think of who sells big in multiple genres in Stephen King.

Self-publishing has been a godsend for those who like to explore. You can write anything you want and push it out at will. You might not make money at it, but you can do it.

At bottom, you have to choose your definition of success and failure. If you define success as being accepted by editors and critics, receiving praise and prizes from the publishing community and hitting the bestseller lists, all of that is beyond your control. It's like fishing for likes on Instagram.

If you define success as getting better at your craft, writing something that you and the few people you really respect like, then you can find fulfillment. I often think of gardeners who pour hours into their roses, not to get rich or to receive recognition, but just because it pleases them and fulfills a deep inner appreciation.
Ask HN: Why is Google not doing anything about ChatGPT?
I'm just wondering why is Google taking so long so introduce a competitor to chatgpt when almost every other search engine from you.com to ddg has this feature now? (Some for months afaik)

Is it the good old wait and watch strategy or Google just doesn't have it good enough?

Chatgpt is eating more and more Google's lunch and Gpt 4 is landing in a few weeks. Microsoft seems to be on fire yet the big G isn't doing anything.. what gives?
Precisely what I was thinking. This kind of hoax sounds like it could easily spread among crazy people.
I don't know about Stable Diffusion in particular, but three examples of AI-generated art making money immediately spring to mind:

1 - some guy won hundreds of dollars in an art contest from AI generated art (and this made big news, so it should be easy to find)

2 - one person reported using midjourney's images as a starting point for images that wound up being used in a physical magazine

3 - another artist has used midjourney images that they modify to sell in all sorts of contexts (like background images on stock illustration sites)

You'd probably find many other examples in midjourney's #in-the-world discord channel.

I'd also be shocked if stock image sites, clipart sites and freelance design/illustration sites weren't already flooded with AI generated images that have been sold for money.

That being said, because high questly AI-generated images are so easy to make, the value of images of all types is likely to plummet soon if it hasn't already.

That AX200 bootup problem occurs on dual-boot Windows/Linux systems. The solution is to turn off Windows "Fast Startup" so that Windows does not leave the AX200 in a "locked" state between reboots.

https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/Unstable-AX200-conne...

Also, the latest Intel iwlwifi firmare is slowly evolving to address crummy AX200 speed issues that Windows does not suffer. On one of my laptops the AX200 is all over the place speedwise, but running wavemon shows it stabilize in the 600 range of rx and tx after awhile. Here's hoping for progress with that firmware on Linux.

What is you sequentially fed ChatGPT with samples of the course professor's own writing, and then asked it to write an essay on the subject of interest? As the article notes, optimization is possible:

> "For example, high school and college students have been using ChatGPT to cheat on essay writing. Since current recognition of AI generated content by humans involve identifying ChatGPT’s signature overly-academic voice, it wouldn’t surprise me if some kids on TikTok figure out a system prompt that allow generation such that it doesn’t obviously sound like ChatGPT and also avoid plagiarism detectors."

A decent student might go to the trouble of checking all the factual claims produced in the essay in other sources, thus essentially using ChatGPT to write a rough draft then spending the time saved on checking facts and personalizing the style. I don't even know if that would count as serious cheating, although the overall structure of such essays would probably be similar. Running 'regenerate response' a few times might help with that issue, maybe even, 'restructure the essay in a novel manner' or similar.
ChatGPT had an estimated 20,000 hours of human feedback. That’s not going to be easy to replicate in an open source way.

> About 6 percent of people who took metformin later developed long COVID-19, as determined by a medical diagnosis. In the placebo group, 10.6 percent of participants developed long COVID-19.

> This meant that overall people who took metformin were 42 percent less likely to develop long COVID-19 compared to people who got the placebo.

I guess I am dumb, but it seems to me that people who took metformin were 4.6% less likely to develop long covid, not 42%, right?

I disagree about handling different genres differently. Sitcoms are not better when they're open ended. They go bad before they end. British and Japanese shows would do that too if they just kept going.

If they're really good and popular, then they should get a new contract after the first one ends that also comes to a creative conclusion.

Its not an optimisation, its about state management.

React can’t see the difference between a reorder and remove&insert. When reordering items the state should be moved as well; when removing and inserting a new item, state should reset.

Society is composed of lots of little tribes (each a few 10s or 100s of thousands of people).They have different values, they see the world in different ways. The real power of the internet over the last 30 years is it is now all but impossible for a tribe not to get its message out there if it cares to. I like to point to the fact that people are now able to compare commercial media narratives to what the people involved actually said. It was always obvious that there was a gap, but the size of that gap was much bigger than most people realised. The consensus of opinion was always an illusion.

People can fight it as much as they like, but the libertarian answer of promoting freedom and equalising power between those tribes is the strategy that will lead to the best outcomes for most people. A state isn't populated by a homogeneous group of people and we have to tolerate real diversity of opinion. It is the classic Stallman situation - the people advocating for more freedom usually turn out to be better at getting sustainable outcomes.
Working this way is pretty common for small tasks. As has been suggested, Julia 1.9 is a lot faster than it was before. I find it's more like 4 seconds than 0.5 seconds, though.

With plot.jl as

$ cat plot.jl
using Plots
x = range(0, 10, length=100)
y = sin.(x)
plot(x, y)

I find that

$ time julia plot.jl

yields

I believe the reason you are being downvoted is over a technicality.

It is correct that no depositor has ever lost a penny of FDIC-insured deposits. This is excellent for the average person, as the average normally-employed person isn’t the one worrying about losing large piles of money.

Uninsured deposits is an entirely different ball of wax. In the case of IndyMac for example, of the ~$19B in deposits, roughly ~$1B was uninsured. This was out of ~$32B AUM. I’m not sure what haircut was taken on uninsured deposits, nor other instruments. FDIC’s Sheila Behr has spoken about the receivership of IndyMac in the past and has said that the FDIC’s reserve took about a $9B hit to deal with IndyMac.
> Is there any evidence or reason to suspect that this would result in the desired effect?

Yes.

There's evidence that you can get these models to write chain-of-thought explanations that are consistent with the instructions in the given text.

It appears you're injecting a lot of details into the situation that were not specified in the article, seemingly to stir the pot. I see no mention of "executive bonuses" specifically - just bonuses, which are common for employees on the lower rungs as well. What makes you think there aren't "single mothers working two jobs" at SVB?

I’m hearing that you can’t even use USDC to exchange for bitcoin/ETH on Coinbase right now. What does converting between types of crypto have to do with banks? Those transactions should in theory have nothing to do with a banking transaction.

It seems like they’re simply forcing people to hold USDC, full stop, and are blaming banks for their decision to do so.

I wouldn't claim the US is some miracle of innocence.

You said "countries that depeg". Pegging, in the context of cryptocurrencies and regular ones, means something specific: ensuring that the exchange rate between the 2 is fixed within a certain band. I don't believe that the US is threatened by whether other countries peg their currency to the dollar or not.

The dollar's use as reserve currency is a separate matter.
This is an entirely immaterial detail that could and would easily be addressed. I’m just going to assume that OpenAI’s arm can be twisted wrt terms and conditions for Big Clients, as is standard practice. But even if it couldn’t be, I’ve got no doubt that OpenAI will accept the literal shipping containers of money from a bank in exchange for an on-prem GPT-3 appliance.
It's a synecdoche, to indicate that the state as a whole is consuming more water than there is available, drawing down its water table and so on. I didn't intend it to be interpreted literally. Water shortages are already threatening communities in Arizona: https://www.hcn.org/articles/south-water-what-happens-when-a...

The market price for water in CA is artificially low, in my view. Many corporate users are effectively subsidized with fixed or below-cost supply. Nestle, for example, was taking 58m gallons/year (about 25x its land allocation) from streams in the San Bernadino forest to bottle as Arrowhead water until the state intervened in 2021: https://www.ecowatch.com/california-nestle-water-public-land...

Your dismissive comment that 'it is just about trying to get more benefits stuff from the government' should equally be applied to incumbent market actors if you wish to be consistent. I did not argue for subsidy, but for desalination as a hedge against water shortages, and that the costs of desalination could likely be significantly reduced.
> bonuses can't be undone in a matter of days with employees expecting them and even contracts demanding them

If the executives running payroll knew there was material risk of insolvency, this is fraudulent conveyance and could (and should) be flawed back. Those employees’ claims then go into the stack with other creditors.

That said, the FDIC probably signed off on this because what will zero the value of the franchise is every employee who earned a bonus jumping ship over the weekend.
Sure I agree liveable city neighbourhoods are also a good goal, one the UK gets right a lot of the time (certainly more so than the US for example).

Re bad insulation, don’t do that then, a gov scheme with regulated contractors could ensure that but it is much better to use less energy heating old leaky homes.

I guess it's an unpopular opinion on HN, but I like switching back and forth between daylight saving and standard time twice a year. I live relatively north and I like having very long days in the summer when more daylight is available for both the morning and evening. Without DST, the sun would rise at 4am for me in the summer - what on earth am I going to do with that? I'd much rather it rise at 5am, and I get an extra hour in the evening. On the other side permanent DST would be awful in the winter because then the sun wouldn't rise for me until 9am.

Maybe countries and states should choose based on how far north or south they are because that seems to be a key factor for how useful DST is?

But beyond that I don't fully understand all the complaints specifically about changing. It's an hour shift twice a year? Maybe I get slightly worse sleep for a day or two but then I am fine. It's no different than changing one time zone while traveling. People travel all the time cross country or over the Atlantic or Pacific and that's a much bigger shift in time yet they're all able to cope? I don't see articles regularly decrying the health disaster of jetlag, so what is it about changing the clocks that really gets people worked up?
Because there's nothing to do. Google probably already had something similar internally. Main problem is accuracy.

Whatever ChatGPT generates needs to be double checked anyway. If you're relying directly on ChatGPT's output than you're probably making a mistake or might make one later.
It seems like a bad way to run a bank if these kinds of large risk decisions (buying ~$80b in 10y bonds at ~1.5%) are solely driven by a few execs and the BoD, while everyone else in the bank is just a drone.

If employee comp (yearly and even historic bonuses) was tied to the bank's catastrophic risk levels, I bet you'd see banks restructure their operations to curtail these kinds of catastrophic risk factors. Smart people wouldn't join banks where they didn't have a say in that. Instead, we get short-termism where the longest timeframe people care about is 'this years bonus'. Banking is too important to be that stupid.
It seems to me like too much of the current situation has jurisdictional gaming. We complain that banks no longer want to take the risk of their traditional role in small business loans and have a lot of economic distortion from that.

Silicon Valley apparently had better access to a bank that took risks and SVB seems to be the bank of over half of tech and public health startups..

Other jurisdictions should feel a bit cheated if their regulators didn't help their small business get the most out financing and FDIC bailouts.. Internationally, other countries have to question why they aren't giving some kind of handouts to gain more of the startup scene for occasional crises.

Really a fine mess.
Hah, no worries.
I'll respectfully decline your arbitrary limitations on my speech, primarily because to follow them would render me incoherent.

I said they serve as a reminder, and here you demand to know what protections the popups provide. They can remind me of things without delivering those things directly, which is why I used the phrasing I did. Hope this helps.

> I'm perplexed, then, to see so many people gleefully celebrate the collapse of an institution that helped level the playing field for people from all backgrounds.

It isn't about being gleeful. This bank took massive risks, which were enabled by Trump changing the laws (and they supported), which then allowed them to take even more risky bets (aka: level the playing field).
