With plain old war there are usually end goals like "gain control of this piece of land/and or resource". Which is what's happening in Ukraine. They want Ukraine's land and resources.

However, it's completely possible to achieve those goals without taking any of the actions listed by the other commenter except maybe a and b, but I can see arguments made that they're referring to noncombatants, and I think most of us can agree that them being wholesale slaughtered by the invading army isn't something that shouldn't be happening in any circumstances.

In this case Russia has made very loud and public statements making it distinctly clear that in addition to obtaining Ukraine's land and resources, they also intend to fully wipe out the national identity of Ukraine by taking most if not all of those actions, and in fact have already done some of them. That would be the difference.
> As a developer, I much prefer to write code than read other people’s code

Developers should review and learn from each others’ code, that’s how you progress. Even as a senior, I’m still happy when I read code written by juniors because everyone learns.

I’m also confused by this hype. I tried a 2-lines sample of very basic C++ code, and the tool gave me: 1/3 obvious explanation, 1/3 wrong, and 1/3 right. So, it’s at most 66% right but not useful to me.

I guess it’s meant for non-developers, or for a quick summary if you’re stuck in your tasks. But overall it’s way too basic to be useful at the moment.

I’ll sound like a Luddite but you don’t learn anything from those tools: no struggling (which is IMHO essential to acquire knowledge), no searching, nothing that you’ll remember. I’m confused on who the target audience really is.
Weird, I haven't paid for quite some time
> It does not make sense that the police should be able to get a warrant for data from every single website in the western world based only on a single IP.

Why not?

The police can go around every single business in town, and ask if a man matching some particular description patronized it.

This isn't a fishing expedition, this is the police asking for particular information about a particular person, who they are investigating for a particular crime. This is... Normal police work.
I’ve always hated this. After years of not fixing and adding more privacy features, I’m not confident it will.
Ask HN: Should an auto's warranty period apply to the car's software?
After using Apple Car Play for almost seven years it my VW Golf, it stopped working, with a message that said: "If you wish to use App Connect, please purchase an access code from your VW Dealer".

This was something I had never heard of, so I called the dealer, and they said "it's a glitch, bring the car in". It was due for a service anyway, so I took it in. When I got the bill, there was a $99 item for labor to "fix" App Connect. The rep said the car was no longer under warranty. I refused to pay: in my mind this is a software bug, not ware and tare, and so warranty rules do not apply. Luckily, they waved a bill.

So here is the ask: If a car's software is buggy, and the bug only manifests itself after the warranty has expired, should the owner have to pay for the repair?
Ok, embedded SW is broad, but you said embedded firmware.

> But neither do you.

Unlike you, I never claimed it.

> All of the things you've said that I've called out as lies, are lies, blatant untruths, and/or have been thoroughly debunked.

As usual, there is no proof of "debunking".

> No, those are the oil executives, as well as hypocrites who love to pretend to be doing good while only being in it for attention

Normally I should have stopped long ago as I normally don't entertain religious fanatics. "Climate change" scam advocates are perfectly fitting your description of hypocrites as to best of my knowledge none of them follows their preachings. It's all entertainment for dumb crowd.

> You're only paying attention to the rich and famous, and not to the real people on the ground.

I am talking about "climate change" preachers. They don't follow what they preach. Certainly some people do follow those preachings, but I have nothing more than pity for them.

> I'm sure you've cherry-picked your own selection of outrageous claims to prove your point, but if you actually did your research honestly, you'd see it's not zero. Many predictions have come true.

I like how you are trying to project your ways of discussion on me :) Says a lot. Just a reminder - I didn't "cherry pick" anything for anyone who can read and encouraged doing their own research. Sapienti sat.

> A small selection:

Your selection is "water is wet". It's not a selection.

> Weather is getting less stable. Some areas get unprecedented floods, others extreme draughts

And this one is outright lie. There is no data supporting it. Droughts, floods happened there over course of history. Just because ww have internet now and can read about it and see photos on Instagram doesn't make it any "less stable". Although I think you know it and just trying to deceive to push your narrative.

> The climate is destabilising

I would ask what this nonsensical sentence means but sorry I have no time to prolong this discussion. Wishing you all the best
Nothing wrong with wanting to get paid. They're monopolists because their means to that end is a literal monopoly. Created something? Government gives you an essentially eternal monopoly on it. In other words: if you're a copyright holder, you're a monopolist. It really is that simple. I suppose I'm also a monopolist.

I think nocode tools are just another way of gloryfying how code is important and an aasett to have. Lots of entrepreneurs who want to build up startups and have lack of finances are being thrown this no code tools things only to lure them but in reality nocode tools won't give you end to end product build if you are not familiar with coding.
For me, losing the self (ego death) is even more freeing than losing just the other two perspectives.

If you had more microphones placed in multiple spots on the glasses, such as up to 5 microphones - 1 in the center, 2 on the frames/end pieces, and perhaps a final 2 on the arms/temples. Then that would be able to catch conversation coming at a person from behind them, the sides, or directly in front, etc.

Here's the conclusion written by GPT-4:

In conclusion, the rise of generative AI is a transformative trend that will have a significant impact on the information economy and the job market. While certain types of jobs might be at greater risk than others, there is still room for adaptation and growth for individuals who proactively prepare for this shift. By focusing on tasks that are novel, unpredictable, and fragile, fostering high-trust relationships and interdisciplinary collaboration, and embracing AI tools to enhance productivity, it is possible to navigate these changes and secure a meaningful career in the evolving landscape. The key is to take action now and invest in the skills and strategies that will make you indispensable in a world where AI continues to advance.
I think some of these novels have a sort of literary "uncanny valley".

By this I mean, if the story is unimaginable, it seems like a caricature or over-the-top plot and you just sort of suspend disgloss over it.

But if it's uncomfortably imaginable, it gets creepy.

I remember reading this story a long time ago (seems to have been 1997):

In many elevators, you can push the call button again to counter the close. You may have to hold it down until the doors have closed before they'll open again.

However, I would advise against it as you'll then be in a closed space with someone who likely didn't want your company anyway.

Arkime full packet capture? Full packet capture relevance has faded greatly
since the early 2010s due to encryption. It's all about host based logging like
EDR, sysmon and windows event logs, while shored up by specific cloud-based app
logs, or pulling forensic artifacts with osquery (or similar). People aren’t
writing or looking at suricata rules much anymore, unless you're lucky enough
to have an environment being proactively man in the middled, which is rare.

I have to disagree here. Meta data on an actual session is useful for statistical inference and can be used for pattern matching at a larger scale on the network. IP addresses and file hashes are going to change frequently and be abandoned so sending out block lists to all your EDR software is more reactionary than proactive. Malware delivery/interaction observation through session data such as protocol, packet size, timing can all be used as features for detection. Additionally Suricata rules can be stacked using flowbits to provide correlation and actionable alerting on observed traffic outside of just the payload, url, etc. Lastly, having a data point outside of the end point device within the network is useful in the event of an incident, after all how can you trust logs and events being reported from a system that has been compromised. Arkime also can utilize the eve.json log file from Suricata to tag the same observed traffic allowing you to search by SID. Exporting data is probably one of the bigger features as that allows you to aggregate and analyze the data externally in something like Jupyter notebook.

The point is, can an AI point out novel things well? All these little things add up to make it novel, and the search space for all the possible combinations of little things is infinite, when only a select few will click with the public at any given time.
The length is the main bottleneck right now.

I'm running whatever I can through this right now. It's doing what Google was doing, i.e. clues, but on steroids.

As soon as the length hits codebase size territory we're in yet greater frontiers.
I think the biggest value would be products tracking users, just as it currently is, like Google, Facebook etc. If assuming AI could learn from low quality data like humans could now, these companies have a huge dataset consisting of multiple GBs per living person that is available to them now including (verified) human written texts, search history, browsing history, video call logs/transcripts, translation transcripts etc.

In future company could even pay users to get access to their keyboard and mic to get the data that is verified to be human.
You won't necessarily want to compress what AI wrote. If it's a long interesting story, you will want to enjoy it.
HIPAA is a self certification. You can claim compliance simply by following the rules. Therefore, you’re either HIPAA compliant or your not. I have never heard anyone describe it as being HIPAA-eligible.

HITRUST is a third party audit with higher standards than HIPAA. That is not a self-attestation.

I’ve spent a bunch of time in this space. Most of the major players offer HIPAA compliant services and sign BAAs. As of now, I don’t believe OpenAI offers a BAA, so this is dead in the water.

None of the siblings are right. The models themselves are idempotent: given the same context you will get the same activations. However the output distribution is sampled in a pseudorandom way by these chat tools. You can seed all the prngs in the system to always have reproducible output using sampling, or even go beyond that and just work with the raw probability distribution by hand.
Yet, small college towns can be hugely attractive as a place to live even if you're not with the college. The academic atmosphere and walkable neighborhoods are appealing, especially so to the professional class. I recall reading about Arizona State University's attempt to build livable neighborhoods for non-academics that are closely associated with university activities. An available professional workforce can be attractive to employers who want to escape the oppressive urban environment and obtain in-office quality workers. It won't happed by itself. I would require inspired developers working with colleges and prospective employers.

> Tech jobs declined sooner, but it looks as if general job postings are starting to decline as well.

Tech companies were some of the first employers that chose to fall on the Fed's "layoffs please" sword, so that might explain the trend.
People who made the right moves will continue earning good money. The people who didn't change jobs during the gold rush were the losers, imo.
I can’t figure out why there seems to be a new heavily advertised jobs/employment site every couple of years. The first one I remember was monster.com. Now it’s Indeed. There have been a number of others. Why do these sites spring up, seem to be everywhere, and then get replaced after a couple of years?

Also, wonder how many people confuse OpenAI as being a "product" of some other big company, like Google, or Microsoft. Their branding is just that nondescript. (or maybe it's just me lol.) Though, now that Google has been very openly panicking, and had that featured prominently in the news, maybe that mix up has been somewhat clarified.

It is a very interesting branding choice though, one that kinda should be studied, because the way it's set up, it's somewhat diverting, or diluting reputational risks (like, having "bad vibes" be ascribed to a 'bigger entity' that doesn't actually exist), and creating an image that doesn't actually align with reality (such as, being "open" in name only). It's kinda like that "bland brands" thing, but here, the 'tech company' mimicry ends up working somewhat differently, at this big of a scale.
This is really brilliantly done. Like if I could rant at Jerome Powell but in documentary form.
I guess I have a question here:

Both this post and many many many posts in the main GPT-4 thread are making this same point.

I get it. They started out as OpenAI, and they've realized over time that business is much better if they're not actually Open.

So my questions is: So what? We're spending a lot of energy collectively complaining about the company's name. I think, for lack of a better term, we really kind of need to get over it. They've made their choice, they're not the original OpenAI they once were, and that's that. They have about as much obligation to change their name as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea does to change its name :)

Sometimes names are just...names.

(Apologies if this is coming across as snarkier than it should. I'm not trying to be hostile. I just think we should stop caring about this.)
here's an anecdote with zero drama:

we started at $0 revenue and $2000 initial deposit at citibank. over the next few years we put $millions a year through them, carried a balance of $millions in combined checking and mmf, and sold our company for $millions. now my personal accounts at the bank are in $low-thousands, and my post-sale money is in investment banks.

nobody from citi ever called, or cared, or said anything when i went to the branch other than one time a teller asking me what our business did because he thought we were a tech company and he really liked cloud computing stuff. i was happy to talk to him about it, and that was it.

99% of banking is boring and uneventful, it's just numbers on a screen, especially if you live in an area where big bank accounts are common (certain areas of big states like ca, tx, ny, etc.)

anecdote on an anecodte: when we sold our biz, i tried to transfer ownership of the account to the new owner, and the branch manager couldn't actually make that happen. he said i needed to write a letter (a physical, printed and signed letter) to the headquarters of citi. l-o-l obviously we didn't do that, so we just shut it down and cashier check deposited the balance to the new owner's account at chase - and they happened to have a branch literally 2 blocks away. i just walked in and deposited the check into his account #. the teller seemed like she did this sort of thing on a regular basis.
Not sure if you saw ChatGPT debate itself but it was pretty spectacularly crap? Of course, we know we know, ChatGPT 4 is absolutely mind mind blowing and better, but let's see it again soon.
Why would we pay people for the labor, not the product? I don't care if something took you 1 minute of 10 years, it's value to me doesn't change (except in the case where the 1 minute version is reproduced a lot by you and it's scarcity gives it value)
Think about what this means for a second.

JPMorgan, by being deemed "too big to fail" is basically so large as to be immune to overall regulation, as any enacted fine of sufficient magnitude to make a punitive difference would jeopardize it's load bearing in the global financial system.

I've honestly gone to Facebook groups nowadays. I don't love the company, but it does seem to be one of the last places I can find fellow nerds of my specific niche interests.
It's important to remind ourselves that OpenAI is full of shit starting from the foundation, especially when they get into bed with companies with histories like Microsoft's and weave tall tales of AI safety and ethics. This technology is too important not to hold them to account.
YES! I'll contribute again if possible.
lol ... why indeed. The core reasons software criticism doesn't exist as it might for other tangible products seems to have eluded the author. Simply it's more a case of YMMV and amount of sale pitch circulating on the web at the time. Only someone who had a great deal of depth in the same field could really know what should be there, but being nothing like a novice will more often have a completely different user experience.
