His more recent doco Fireball: Visitors from Darker Worlds (2020)[0] was, for me, even more fascinating.

Also, his 1977 short La Soufrière[1] is set on an island where a volcano is about to erupt.

Sounds like when I worked for a large defence contractor. Except they didn’t have the competence to pull it off as well.

I got to the end of this Twitter thread and basically shrugged. If you don’t like corporate policy, leave, then make reasonable comments outside of any NDA you have signed. Trying to do anything internally unless you have a senior management position is always futile. And don’t come across as a dick, which the person does here.
Bloom correlated the origin of wave of dunces arriving at college (and currently leading the country astray) with the Summer of Love in the 1960s.
I don't agree at all.

The only 'suffering' going on here is issues with employee liquidity.

As long as the company can raise the money it needs on good terms, there's absolutely no reason otherwise to be a public company.
This particular one is made in Blender and you can probably just ask the authors on Reddit.

- "This video is a collaboration David Lowry-Duda, that actually started here on the /r/math Reddit thread."

https://old.reddit.com/r/math/comments/m0w1qs/a_modular_form...

...Which (probably) refers to this thread:

- "I'd like to talk to you about producing a similar visualization for modular forms. These are inherently "just complex functions", but they're nontrivial to compute. But in two recent papers, I study how to compute modular forms and various visualizations of modular forms."

- "I'm knowledgeable about various 2d plotting, but I don't actually know anything about 3d plotting. I'm aware that blender exists and that shaders exist, but that's the extent of my knowledge. This is a major aspect of complex function visualization that I'm missing."

That language exists already. TenetLang actually is Swift
He resigned and was not fired. He also says that directly after a large staff layoff, the CEO asked the board to pass a large salary increase and golden parachute for himself (which the author opposed and cited as one of his reasons for leaving the company).

I don't mean to be rude, but I think we should at least briefly check the source out before criticizing it.
Yeah same here but it's fun to see all the nostalgia nonetheless :D Some names I haven't heard in ages in these threads.
That quote could have come from me, speaking about building a feature, finding a bug, trying to figure out why something behaves the way it does. Data helps. More data is often good. Research, approval of medication, all of this is based on gathering real-world data, as much as possible, as diverse as possible.

The question is how to acquire that data ethically (consent etc.), how to handle it safely and how to dispose of it when it’s no longer needed. But the quote itself out of context is really not much, especially since the data seems to be acquired from people that voluntarily joined a program to gather such data.
whether or not it's generating cash at the moment is probably a secondary concern for Microsoft, behind having the code to train on.

Wait, so just no more using red? Anywhere, at all, in any facet of design? What about other differentiated abilities. Should “designers” stop using anything under 18-pt font? 24-pt? How accessible must an interface before you will grant “designers” their un-quoted status as designers?
That could also be true, but the thing is, where I live, I can't just go to the supermarket and buy a bag of cocaine for 10 Euros.
While I don't like that a for-profit company uses the name "OpenAI" to develop models that are ostensibly closed (no source, no weights, and for GPT-4, we don't even know basic data like number of parameters); the authors of this website should really look for a different name. This is misleading.
Hmm it suggested whitespace syntax and then generated a curly brace language.

The language it described already exists too - it’s F#
Since this is DARPA, this shows they are interested in rust, which mean we will probably have strong toolchain certifications coming up eventually, making rust even more fall in the category of "the language you want to use for serious stuff".

Of course it's possible. Ban (with heavy fines/jail time) breeding, selling and owning them and the vast majority won't risk it.
How complex would a device have to be to not be trivially defeated by a replay attack?

How do you get both ends to reliably communicate

You choose a suitable networking stack and communicate. Secure messaging is a solved problem and doesn’t require “internet”.
> You’re right, it is a tad preachy. But does the preachiness come from processing raw data from psychologists and other fields (who pretty much agree on these definitions afaik), or is it a configuration setting `beWoke: true`?

Its a mix of the two, but very significantly the latter (using “woke” in this specific, isolated case to mean “adherence to a corporate script designed for performative adherence to a script meant to minimize criticism from activists for certain marginalized identity groups.”) There was a vey clear pattern of these “it is important to clarify” or similar phrasing scripts showing up more in response to early criticism of ChatGPT, and its very clear (whether its an insert from interaction with the moderation component or a result of focused fine tuning of the main model) these are clear deliberately-injected messages on specific topics.

It took me a moment to realize that the thread starts with a quote that makes is sound as if the person is talking about someone. But it’s actually the whistleblower quoting and translating a documentary about herself.

(“@ashleygjovik can testify: she was fired for speaking out.”)
Draftsmen used to practice freehand lettering. The end result, without stencils, looked indistinguishable from print.
I find it hard to trust her when she seems hellbent on revealing technological secrets then wondering why Apple would want to keep them hidden. Even small businesses keep their leads and trade secrets hidden, why is it suddenly "omerta" when Apple does it?

And that's another thing, why is she trying so hard to paint Apple a certain way? Omerta, so Apple is the mafia now? It reeks of forced meme. It makes sense that this all happened after she got a law degree.
Yeah, this is deliberately misleading. Note the use of "Open AI" vs OpenAI. I wonder if the aim is to provoke legal action over the right to use the phrase "Open AI" and have a "OpenAI isn't open so why do they get to call themselves that" discussion in court.

TL;DR activism is my bet. Or hoping for a settlement to avoid said discussion and transfer the domain, perhaps even more likely.
And is there ANY proof that the vaccines do this?

Asking for science, and decent human beings.
I think it might be more instructive to have a side by side comparison: why did startup A in fail and startup B succeed, assuming they are in the same space?

For example, why did Facebook take over the world and not MySpace? Why did DOS beat CP/M?

Or a non-tech example: why did Amundsen beat Scott to the South Pole? Was it down to technique (e.g. using dogs instead of motored vehicles) or mindset?

Ask HN: Which E2E tool to pick? Need reliability and speed
I'm planning on introducing e2e test in my startup.
My success criteria is high ROI. Meaning creating, running and debugging tests is fast and easy and the tests are not flaky.

I understand that those criterias can be achieved with any tool if you know how to properly architect the environment and use the tool, but to me it's a failure of a tool if it can only be properly used by the experts.
I'm not an expert by any means in e2e.

So which tool sets me up for success the most by default?

I guess that the major source of complexity would be that both the car need both a transmitter and a receiver, instead on only one each.

But it seems like a risible source of complexity.

The usual advice I’ve seen to avoid discriminating against people with reduced ability to differentiate color is “don’t use color distinctions alone for any purpose”. If you want to make things recognizable as different at a glance, and are inclined to use color for it – do that, but also use some other visual distinction. If its text, use a non-color stylistic distinction as well as color.

I'm pretty sure the people working at OpenAI have thought about it, and decided that it's better they get there first then some autocracy.
I've had ChatGPT write code from vague statements that got close enough that it'd take the typical intern days of research to figure out. I've also had it fail spectacularly before prompted more extensively. But there are tasks I'd rather hand of to ChatGPT already today than hand to an intern, because it does the job faster and is able to correct misunderstandings and failures far faster.

E.g. I posted a while back how I had it write the guts of a DNS server. It produced a rough outline after the first request, and would fill out bit by bit as I asked it to elaborate or adjust specific points. The typical intern would not know where to start and I'd need to point them to the RFC, and they'd go off and read them and produce something overwrought and complex (I've seen what even quite experienced software devs produce when given that task; and I know how much work it took me the first time I did it).

So it may not exactly replace an intern, in that there are classes of problems that require low-level reasoning and a willingness and ability to go off and research that it's just not set up for yet and that will be harder to replace. But the problem set will change. Both in that what gets to the intern will be things where LLMs don't produce good result fast enough (I wouldn't ask an intern to do something what ChatGPT can do well with little prompting), and that interns will be more likely to go off and learn a bit and then spend more time prompting LLMs and in that sense produce more value than they could before.
Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts
Yesterday someone tried to deposit money in my account and they were told my account was "closed". I logged into my account to see and everything looked normal, so I told them they probably had the number wrong and to try again. They went back the next day and got the same response. "Account is closed."

I called Chase today and was informed that my account was "locked". I asked why and how I could get it unlocked. They ended forwarding me multiple times and finally sent me to the Chase compliance department. They informed me again that the account was "locked" and said the account will be closed in a couple days. I asked why and they said your account has been flagged, they did a review and there is no way to reverse the decision. In addition, I am no longer allowed to open any new accounts. I asked what the reason was and they said "For compliance reasons we are not allowed to disclose the reason". They mentioned that the only way they could reverse the decision was to speak with a branch manager.

I immediately went to my local branch and spoke with my branch manager. After multiple phone calls by the manager to the Chase compliance department, she informed me there was no way to appeal and my account would be closed. In addition, my other checking and savings account will be closed in the next couple days and I won't be able to open any new accounts with Chase (new info). The bank manager said she has no power in this situation and doesn't even know the reason. If the compliance team decides something, the branch manager can't do anything.

I never even thought this was a possibility and I feel powerless. Anyone have any ideas of what I should do next? The crazy thing is that when they lock an account, it's frozen for 10-15 days and then when it's closed they send a check in the mail. My money is now being held hostage at Chase until they decide to send me a check.

It is still early enough to do a cool rebranding. Something more distinctive and non-obvious on the first association but on second.
Do you only control the compiler or the entire toolchain and system?

If only the compiler you are still on very shaky grounds with -Werror.

Even for the Linux kernel devs -Werror is too harsh.
I think you asked it some of the right questions, but even then it was able to slip past your skepticism by being really good at sounding like an intelligent human being that was saving you the trouble of the details. There's no hypothesis in there.

You would have to be an insanely skeptical person, one who would drive anybody nuts to talk to, to approach a ChatGPT session in a field you're not an expert in or maybe even one you are, and evaluate it right... The only normal human perspective that fits what ChatGPT is actually like is the one we take on people we think are terrible, so that is why I say it's awful, although it's just a machine.

At first I didn't get it.

I never have a hard time to write things with words for the average stuff, which is what the AI is good at. It's always faster for me to type it. And for the hard stuff, AI cannot help (yet).

For programming having help for the average stuff saves me time. But for words? That's my natural way of expressing thoughts, why would I need speed up with the most natural thing in the world?

But then I saw some of my friends use it, and I understood.

Most people suck at writing.

In fact, they suck at communicating in words in general. I started to pay attention, and realized that most of the discussion is not even proper French or complete sentences most of the time. The tone, the gestures, grunts and context are all used by every day people to express essential basic ideas.

And we rarely express anything beyond basic idea in days to days activity, no matter how smart we think we are, life is mostly mundane stuff.

And unlike me, they didn't have to write a ton of paperwork in their life, or articles, they have no training.

They struggle with the medium like a fish trying to climb a tree.

For them, GPT is a savior for any formal writing task.
As someone living in Japan, I can't comment on his domestic policies (except this 69-hour proposal, which was utterly stupid), but at least he isn't like his predecessor, constantly vilifying Japan and trying to cozy up with NK. Japan and SK should be strong allies against the nearby dictatorial regimes, and the leftists in SK have been doing everything they can to ruin SK's relationship with Japan.
That description of how it functions is true, but it did fool a lot of people, and now we have to explain why. I also note that a lot of people report positive results in their own fields of expertise, which might be part of the explanation. (It might be building trust before failing inexplicably right when it can no longer be checked.)
Same. I have uncountably many times made statements like "all the data are belong to us", the quote out of context is meaningless and says nothing about ethical handling of data, which rests on informed consent and secure handling, not random quips.
I always joke with my wife that my favorite yojijukugo are 問題解決 and 安全第一 which are literally just "problem solving" and "safety first" haha.

My favorite actual yojijukugo is 点滴穿石 which water dripping on a stone in the same spot slowly wears it away, which just means if you keep doing what you're doing you will eventually make some noticeable progress in the long run.
I think this is something very few people actually need to do, and you can still do it if you want to! But it makes sense that it's no longer a front and center feature.

If anyone can edit it, I found a typo:

> Deprecation of Cuda 11.6 and Python 1.7 support for PyTorch 2.0

It is clearly supposed to be python 3.8 and 3.7 respectively.
I’m not sure it does. I am almost completely stress free in my entire life. I drink a fair bit of coffee and red bull (both without sugar) and never have any sleep, stress or anxiety problems.

The important thing with stressors is to identify them, write them down and deal with them. By dealing with them you have to ask if you really give a crap about them or not and the answer is usually no. If it is something you give a crap about then it’s usually pretty easy to sort out by coming up with some ideas and trying them out.

You can indeed live a stress free caffeinated life.

I am currently watching other people getting stressed over something I don’t give a crap about whilst drinking my morning brew.

The sticking point here is that later revisions look almost identical to the earlier ones, while at the same time the corrections look too good to have been produced by the then-common "white-out / replace / Xerox" method (page 5). So they might have been retyped, and since doing that using a typist would have been prohibitively expensive, it might have been done using a computer - however the authors haven't found any evidence pointing to that, so they avoid stating it clearly...
A variation on the survey foot.
It breaks the expectations user have about browser. It is very snaky way to try to make a browser what it is not, all in the name of making SPA just to make a trend. It is one of thing most annoying about the IT industry, that it is a more about fashion then about tech.
So there is a correlation between two markers for genetic variants in the biochemical processing of caffeine in the human body on the one hand and body weight and risk of type 2 diabetes on the other, but not with the blood caffeine levels or the coffee consumption?
Yeah, I'm not ok for us to start our own version of The Great Firewall just because China does it.

China bans foreign news sites too. Should we ban news sites from all countries that's not U.S. allies?
Thank you for the feedback and advice you provided, especially regarding the target audience. In light of this, I plan to start by publishing some of my smaller projects first, as they are relatively easier to complete. This will involve documenting the process, testing the functionality, and creating blog posts about them.

I am also curious about your motivation to work on a project for an extended period of time, such as five years. While I have found excitement and fulfillment in completing the core functions of a project, I have also experienced burnout in continuing to work on it. So, I would like to know what keeps you motivated throughout the long haul of a project.
We have the same thing. We’re all just old though.
The website has a '©Open AI™ 2014 - 2023' text in the bottom right if you go to another page. Maybe this supports the domain squatting / trademark abuse hypothesis?
I am a bit perplexed. Working on bad soil -- okay, that's something to care about.

But: the "whistleblower" works in a software company, in the middle of a AI race, where data is a fundamental part of the equation -- no data, no AI --, and they complain that their employer asks that they provide as much data as they can, *while being payed by such employer*? To be honest I don't get it. Why is this a problem? How is Apple (or any other company) supposed to produce good ML/AI models without data? Mine is a true perplexity, not a rethorical question: why is everyone so worried about this?
