Yes, I could see that, but then you read Hocus Pocus, Pearls Before Swine, Cat's Cradle, and realize that, maybe, those serious books... are still humorous but in their own why? I do concede the point that some of Vonnegut's work is darker, and the humor is harder to find (perhaps akin to Catch-22s Snowden chapters, rather than say, Orr or The Anabaptists Chaplain's Wife). I think I probably got a strong feeling of this as the last Vonnegut I read was "Armageddon in Retrospect" which was almost a Sedaris like read. Or maybe I am misremembering. Either way, yea, Vonnegut is perhaps a stretch there :)

Well, it doesn't matter what the employers think. It matters what the court thinks.

Of course, it takes time and effort to sue and I imagine a lot of people would just let it go.

It's fine to say "great, that can free up people for other thing", but given our current economic systems, how are these people supposed to eat?

And it doesn't mean that the replacements will be much better, or even as good as the Humana they replace. They will probably suck in ways that will become familiar and predictable, and at the same time irritating and inescapable. Think of the outsourced, automated voice systems at your doctor's office, self-checkout at the grocery store, those touchscreen kiosks at McDonalds, etc.

Before the NCAA started limiting scholarships in 1973, teams could stock up on workhorses -- Bear Bryant's Alabama teams would bring in blue-chippers by the shipload, not so his Tide could use them, so other schools couldn't.

It's been done before. If Google hired the guys who made ChatGPT and put them on production support or anything, they wouldn't be scared for their existence right now. In tech, it only takes a handful of people to put you out of business in a few years, and you'd never see it coming. The corpses of once great tech companies are many: MySpace, Yahoo, Sun, etc.

I think so. The first page gets much more upvotes than the second page. There is a visible step in the data: https://github.com/social-protocols/news#upvote-share-by-ran...

Once a story drops to the second page, it receives fewer upvotes and can't sustain any growth anymore. Having a longer front page (we're showing 90 ranks), smooths out that effect.

Ask HN: Seeking a Co-Founder for SurTax, a Commercial Property Services Company
Hi Hacker News community,

I'm currently running a business called SurTax, a services company that focuses on helping commercial property owners save money on their taxes by identifying potential refunds on Direct Assessments and Special Assessments. We have access to the most precise data available to determine which properties can benefit from our services, and we've already laid the groundwork for significant success.

The commercial property tax refund market has huge potential, with our competitors refunding around $20 million a year collectively. However, there's still approximately $40 million a year in untapped refunds, and I believe SurTax can capture a significant portion of this market with the right strategy and execution.

As the founder, I bring extensive data analysis and industry expertise to the table. However, I recognize that my strengths lie in the technical side of the business, and I need a partner who can complement my skills and help drive SurTax's growth.

I'm looking for a co-founder who can help with:
- Sales strategy: Identifying the most effective sales channels and methods for targeting commercial property owners.
- Marketing and copywriting: Crafting compelling messaging that effectively communicates the value of our services and drives customer acquisition.
- Design and branding: Ensuring that our visual identity is professional, consistent, and appealing to our target audience.

If you have experience in sales, marketing, or design, and are passionate about helping businesses grow and succeed, I'd love to discuss the opportunity to work together on SurTax.

Please feel free to reach out to me via founding (at) surtax.llc if you're interested in learning more about the business, the market potential, and how we can join forces to capture the untapped potential in the commercial property tax refund space.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hey! Currently, when you share a block (grouped input and output) with Warp AI, we let the AI know the command that was ran and also the tail of the output. (and to streamline this even more, sharing a block with Warp AI is as simple as one-click!)

Often times, when these longer scripts / build jobs fail, they'll emit an error at the _end_, so sharing the tail should work in this case. But, you can always tweak (add / subtract) from what you want to share with the AI to make the query even more focused.

Does that address your use-case?

You are describing an emergency scenario. Everyone should be prepared for emergencies but I don't think having a gas furnace or stove should be part of that plan. Using them during a power outage can be extremely dangerous.
It feels like you are falling into Survivorship Bias fallacy.
Yes. Also I think they do it right on two counts.

One purchase of the Battle Pass (<$10) gets you many skins, emotes, and v-bucks, enough to get each season pass for free afterward, as long as you actually play it and are enjoying it.

And secondly, each season they change the map, add new mechanics, new skins, and the season pass quests change, sometimes even new modes of play. That keeps players coming back, which means you don't have to wait in the lobby for hours to try to get a match because everyone got bored.

I'm going into my 6th year playing on 1 season pass. Somewhere over 1000 hours of play. That's a whole lot of value for less than $10.00; less than 1¢/hour.

I have spent a couple times to try the original Save The World game (which was not the free-to-play model) and to buy two specific skins. But it was clear each time, and I did not see any tricky one-click-buy dark patterns.

However, I understand the UI is different on consoles, which have such limited buttons. It seems that's where the main complaint is. And that's a totally reasonable complaint if the button that usually does 'X' or 'Y' is at other times a 'One-click buy' button.

Really any game that uses just a console controller for anything more complicated or with more potential consequences than losing a game of Tetris really needs some safeguards due to their clunky UIs.
Think of people who have jobs like archaeology, digging up bones. The only way these jobs can exist is if technology has taken over much of the grunt work of production.

As for human translators, the need for them far, far exceeds the number of them. Have you ever needed translation help? I sure have, but no human translator was available or was too expensive.
Is there any data about long term effects?

The GPT-4 paper & post[1] describe that the original model is pretty good at predicting the probability of its own correctness (well-calibrated confidence) but the post-processing degrades this property:

> GPT-4 can also be confidently wrong in its predictions, not taking care to double-check work when it’s likely to make a mistake. Interestingly, the base pre-trained model is highly calibrated (its predicted confidence in an answer generally matches the probability of being correct). However, through our current post-training process, the calibration is reduced.

> Left: Calibration plot of the pre-trained GPT-4 model on an MMLU subset. The model’s confidence in its prediction closely matches the probability of being correct. The dotted diagonal line represents perfect calibration. Right: Calibration plot of post-trained PPO GPT-4 model on the same MMLU subset. Our current process hurts the calibration quite a bit.

Most aircraft get their pressurized air from the engine bypass air, off a system called the bleed air system (air is bled off of the bypass). Since the bypass air (air that is compressed but not used for combustion, it makes jet engines more efficient) is already pressurized by engine operation it's sort of "free compressed air" and used for a few different purposes. That said, some newer aircraft are choosing to simplify design by eliminating the bleed air system and instead using electrically-driven compressors for cabin air. One advantage this has is that the air doesn't require initial cooling like bleed air does due to the engine bypass being so hot. Mostly, though, it's being done for the reduced cost/complexity and increased safety of eliminating the air lines from the engines.
And it's not even their fault that they are now in this predicament.
It is very obvious there is a mass unemployment wave coming - or at least a mass "retraining" wave, though the new jobs "teaching AIs" or whatever remain to be seen. I hope everyone currently just questioning whether this will happen now is prepared to state it with conviction in the coming months and fight for some sort of social protection program for all these displaced people, because the profits from this new world aren't getting distributed without a fight.
Ah yes, as usual, HN provides the most sociopathic take possible within the first few comments.
Hello everyone. In this article, I will demonstrate how I, someone who knows only the basics of programming, was able to create a WordPress website, the one you are currently reading, with over 7,000 posts created on various different topics, in just one week and all costing less than $40.
It's part of a bigger movement away from gas, eg. https://barc.ca.gov/whats-happening/news/berkeley-becomes-fi...

It seems like a big deal to me to go from two redundant energy sources to one without discussing the trade offs in resiliency. I agree with OP, that there will be a large of human cost to giving up gas heat without making a corresponding investment in the reliability of the electric grid (which I have never seen mentioned). My impression is that the total cost to the decision to phase out gas has not been crunched.

Pushing it to individuals to be prepared for electric grid failure is pretty bad for carbon and pollution. All those generators (and other emergency backup appliances) manufactured and maintained. I personally prefer having gas and electric, I feel that gives me adequate reliability, so I don't need to own a generator: I have my gas heat (millivolt pilot generator requires no AC power), gas hot water, candles, and flashlights. And I like not owning a generator (or emergency propane heater (aren't these commonly implicated in structure fires? [0]), etc). Plus many people can't afford generators.

The last price increase raised it to $64.99. That happened on June 30, 2020 (https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/youtube-tv-update/).

Let's put that into the BLS CPI Inflation Calculator (https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm).

Results: "$64.99 in June 2020 has the same buying power as $75.84 in February 2023".

So this doesn't quite keep up with inflation.
This is cool! Small and no magic.
Employees were hired with a specific location or they weren't. There isn't an in-between. However, employees during covid were also hired and told to remain out of office until guidance changes.

Some chose to interpret that as WFH forever, some chose to buy homes hours away from their assigned office location. Now some are acting confused and feel slighted when in reality, they ignored or conflated the hiring and the WFH-covid guidance into a single thing.
Why have decimals at all then? Just increment by whole numbers every release. It's the exact same thing except with the decimal moved over to a sensible place.
Sure. But recruiting scheduling coordinators do not. Those people would better serve society stringing up new HVDC lines, which the current model does not incentivize.
> we have chosen to put the burden for paying for those losses on all of the other banks

But isn't it likely to cause more bank runs if depositors lost money? So in a real sense, many other banks were saved from going under, by assuring depositors that their money is safe, whichever bank they're at.

My understanding is that other banks have massive unrealized losses as well, due to the steep interest rate increases. So they're all kind of vulnerable.
There is a fairly strong argument to be made that the entire book is just a love letter to Venice. From the wikipedia:

In one key exchange in the middle of the book, Kublai prods Polo to tell him of the one city he has never mentioned directly—his hometown. Polo's response: "Every time I describe a city I am saying something about Venice."

SFBay doesn't have big freezes like Texas, but I have to wonder the wisdom of eliminating gas heaters entirely. The blower fan on a typical gas heater uses 120v and doesn't consume nearly as much power as a ~20a 240v heat pump. During a typical PG&E power outage a much larger back up battery will be needed to keep a home heated.

Over the last couple of years, I've had 4-5 power outages that lasted over 4 hours and I live in the middle of San Francisco. I do have a wood burning fireplace as a backup, but those have all sorts of restrictions on use and new ones aren't permitted. Imagine what a chilly 20 unit Tenderloin apartment is going to be like!

Unless cheap battery tech, microgrids, and major subsidies are put into place, it's going to be a cold winter when PG&E is out for hours at night in 2032.

I like how for your brief documentation you start with a single index.html file. Too many web/framework docs start with a command that gives you a directory full of who knows what, which tends to negatively affect beginners more than anyone
Why doesn’t anyone start an open-source tax preparation software project?
This seems like an easy thing to get going, starting with form 1040, that would be fun and save Americans millions in tax preparation fees. Contributors could keep the code up to date with changes in the tax code.
Certainly, you can email me if you like.
There are three 'markets' for translators:

* Verbal translation, where accuracy is usually important enough to want to also have a human onboard since humans still have an easier time with certain social clues.

* High-culture translation, where there's a lot to personal choice and explaining it. GPT can give out many versions but can't yet sufficiently explain its reasoning, nor would its tastes necessarily match that of humans.

* Technical translations for manuals and such. This market will be under severe threat from GPTs, though for high-accuracy cases one would still want a human editor just in case.

All in all, GPT will contract the market, but many human translators will be fine. There's still areas where you'd still want a human, and deskilling isn't a bug threat - a human can decide to immerse and get experience directly, and many will still do so by necessity.
The api is anything but small.
> I might finally invest some time into what it looks like to create front ends independent of any of the existing frameworks that exist today, which I think is probably controversial

This is a great idea. Nothing controversial about it.
I have been in what feels like a ridiculous number of arguments over the years with people who will defend to the hilt the idea that these companies all need as many workers as they do, insisting that the very idea that they might have a ton of people hired doing effectively nothing is some combination of insulating and naive. Of course, the fact that some of us actually know such people--my favorite example: I had an indirect friend who loved to tell the story of how, after his third project at Google got killed before launch, he just stopped working and realized there were little, if any, actual consequences for doing nothing ;P--never seemed to hold any weight.

I'm really hoping that, if nothing else comes out of 202[23], it is a realization that the size and scope of these teams was, in fact, madness, and no one will ever be able to credibly claim that they need thousands and thousands of people to maintain a single app ever again (but, sadly, I know that this isn't the case, as about three months from now no one will remember any of this happened and none of this has ever come to light and if you try to casually mention it as if it were common knowledge you'll get flooded with "citation needed" as we live in the land of Eternal September where somehow no one ever thinks it is useful to study even recent history).
My furnace doesn't run if the electricity is off. The fan needs electricity. The safety circuits in the furnace need electricity.

If we want to talk about power outages causing loss of life due to freezing then we can talk about that problem. But I'm pretty confident that "put today's gas furnaces in everybody's home" is the appropriate way of attacking that problem. Especially in a place like the bay area where you just aren't seeing 10 degree lows.

Big companies have people around whose sole job is to make sure that all software that needs to be licensed, is licensed, and that these licenses are the exact ones that meet the providers' rules. This usually means that you are not allowed to use a personally-owned license on a company computer.

Why?

Because the consequences of getting this wrong can be far more expensive than whatever productivity gains you, the individual employee, claim to be achieving.

Docker, for example: we had absolutely no interest in individual users directly accessing their online features (we took a bit of trouble to block them, in fact), so theoretically, the free Personal licenses should have been fine. No.

Ok, so just have each Docker user pay that $5 themselves. How do we make sure every person who has Docker installed on their PC really is paying for a license? Even if we gave them all corporate cards, and Docker was going to be cool with several hundred accounts (or more) from the same domain not being on the "Business" plan, we then get to set up a process with Accounting to make sure the PC scans match the payments.

This might all sound ridiculous to start-up/boutique employees, but is a basic fact of life in corporate IT... which Docker was hoping to get a lot of money out of.
