<< Were are you from?

Former satellite, but does it really matter? Argue your point and it will be judged on its own merits.

This is not the place to appeal to emotion or use talking points ( you can, but you will be called out on it like I am about to do ).

<< My problem is with this narrative that Putin had his hands tied (by NATO) to invade.

I am not going to go after characterizing it as narrative ( in a sense, everything is ), because it can be classified as that. I personally would argue that this is version of risk control. He lost control over Ukraine as aftermath of Orange Revolution and he wants it back. NATO may have not actively participated in said revolution, but you can't honestly tell me western powers had no stake in it ( or no reason to participate in some manner ).

<< Because it implies that >>what follows is an actual Ukrainian propaganda/talking points<<

I don't mind propaganda, but the agency line is a bad line AND a bad argument ( and, as a result, even worse propaganda; propaganda should be effective ). TBH, I am not sure where it originated, but I read it before and I assume it made more sense in original, but lost something in translation.

If you read it on your own and adopted it as your own, I would ask you that you explain to me what you think it actually means, because, logically, it does not follow what I wrote at all. If you can do that, we can continue this discussion in good faith. Otherwise, this is my last post in this section.

<< Allowing the russians to take Crimea in 2014 is what created 2022.

I am resisting the urge of connecting some event in a distant past to show how it could be traced to today. As in, you are not completely wrong, but that moment has long passed AND it was just one of the causes ( and you choose to just ignore them ).

Shoulda woulda coulda is fun, but unlikely to be productive at this stage ( may make for a good history lesson at some point in the future though ).

<< The trend I'm seeing is the edgy 14 yo sounding contrarians who think that condemning Russia is too mainstream and boring.

I hate to invoke Thiel, but this is one of those few times, where his quote is actually relevant and apt. The most contrarian thing you can do is to think for yourself. It is very true.

I have zero problem condemning Russia. Hell, from the beginning I outright stated I want Russians to fail in this campaign. There is a benefit for US ( and frankly EU ) should that come to pass, but repeating talking points is not furthering your cause. Here, it might undermine it.

I will take it one step further and offer a piece of advice: know your audience.

<< It's all part of the regular 'firehose of bullshit' which is a Soviet tactic to influence discourse away from reality.

For once, we can agree on something. It is a known tactic and does work surprisingly well and it is the bane of the internet. The good news is that, on the internet these days, shit is everywhere so gold is much, much easier to spot.

minor edit: personally, I am an admirer of Ukrainian propaganda. It is usually very competent. The 'no agency' line is just bad though. It is definitely not great for US. It is silly for HN.
I was waiting for someone to say this. I have taught Humanities in a program which included a significant number of deaf students. Communication was enabled via translators. The difference in language culture plus the fact that everything was mediated through a third party made the whole experience profoundly unsatisfactory. Nuance was completely lost. Perhaps if I had recovered training in sign language things world have been different.
I have read so many of these posts on HN, and invariably it turns into an argument between:

A. Housing should be available for everyone in large cities at a price they can afford; and

B. There is no right or economic solution to affordable housing for everyone who wants it, especially in a dense city.

I don’t intend to choose a side in this argument, but here are the “facts” (or approximations) that must be considered in this argument:

1. Land in the U.S. is generally owned by individuals, or by businesses with shareholders (ie. people), not the government.

2. Individuals owning land and buildings are just regular people (or groups of regular people as investors) in many cases, not “bilyunares”.

3. How do regular people own property and buildings? There are three ways:

a. People invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) through their savings and/or 401k or other retirement accounts.

b. People invest in banks, or deposit money in banks, which is used to create loans (mortgages) to purchase land and buildings.

c. People pay taxes, and a portion of those taxes goes toward tax credits and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section-8 subsidies. The U.S. government spends $6 billion per year to finance new housing for qualifying people.

4. Rents and escalations are both market-based and contractual. The rent collected pays for the cost of upkeep and routine maintenance as well as the mortgage obligations and taxes. With inflation, the cost of everything goes up, and this must be reflected in rents.

5. The most desirable locations will have the highest land prices and correspondingly the highest rents. Desirability results from weather, safety, activities, travel or transportation options, and most importantly: work opportunities.

It would be refreshing to see more of these “facts” (and many more I haven’t mentioned) included as part of the debate.

Have fun and carry on!
Not sure why this is downvoted. Success is trying. You don’t get anywhere with any substance without putting the hard yards in. And sometimes, it doesn’t work. That’s okay.
Years? There are already competitors. I just spent all evening playing with Claude (https://poe.com/claude) and it's better than davinci-003.

To be fair it is easy to radically underestimate the rate of progress in this space. Last Wednesday I conservatively opined to a friend "in 10 years we'll all be running these things on our phones". Given that LLaMA was running on a phone a few days later, I may have been a little underoptimistic...
Have you seen the latest Llama and Alpaca models?
For several years, chatbots, which often use some form of AI, have been performing basic customer service tasks via chat interfaces, messaging, and email. It makes sense that they eventually improve over time, especially with the GPT-N and similar tools. A lot of people prefer interacting with chatbots/AI rather than humans because they never get frustrated, have an attitude, and respond efficiently (sometimes it sucks to deal with people). Despite all the hand wringing over how AI is emerging, I believe that it will become a useful tool that consumers and enterprise customers embrace.

Email is one channel that AI can communicate. It seems it might be more efficient to have a discovery protocol where they can communicate efficiently in a more peer-to-peer mode, rather than provisioning mailboxes and discovery bolted onto the side.

I'm looking at what's happening from the evolution of chatbots. We're just seeing a new generation of AI tools evolving. I'm only a single perspective, but it looks like it's evolving like any other new technology. Consider the PC wars, OS wars, browser wars, phone wars, and now the AI assistive technology wars. Microsoft and Google are stepping out early and I wouldn't be surprised if more emerged.
I use it for unit tests. That's one of its best use cases. Obviously I read the code it writes down.
IMHO, if you really "tell a CEO I can give him 56% more developers overnight" , he will sue you. Every programmer tried it out can tell that his affirmation could be right only for trivial part of a program, for non trivial programming part, it is more like a board game, where you try to induce the "AI" to produce the right answer modifying the "prompt" again, again, again, again, ( Did I tell you "again" ?) and again. <sarcasm> Obviously that is a customer fault because he didn't hire prompt engineers to do properly the job to describe properly the job they need be done </sarcasm>

Agreed. The main two questions, in my mind: is this actually a good product experience, and are they charging a fair price.
Every mass layoff article posted on HN (Microsoft, Google, Meta, etc) had people posting comments showing the staff counts sometimes doubled in size in a few years prior then reduced by 1/5th (or less) of the pre-growth number via a layoff. A bubble would typically cannibalized all the growth, not a small subset.

I can see how an overeager company who bought into their short term growth numbers as long term realities might overhire during unexpected growth when you don't really know what the upper limit is.

A short term (relative) explosion in demand growth can put businesses in a difficult spot where they can't handle the growth presently and they don't know if the 10% increase will turn into 20%. Hiring is a longer term investment you can't just turn on/off since on-boarding and training is a big investment, and humans are involved, so there's a fundamental timeline disconnect.

There's also the flood of capital from the public markets. Even before COVID tech stocks increased quite a bit.

This is pretty different than a "bubble" which is a completely fake boom that explodes 100% then falls back to zero when people realize it's bullshit. This is more like a boom that goes from +20% to +10%. Which yes still ultimately left a sizeable group in the crosshairs.

The point is not whether or not I personally would be hurt by this, or rather the metaphoric I, for the matter.

The point is the rules where changed mid-game to protect a bunch of very well connected people that played extremely loose with the "rules" and will suffer zero consequences as a result - because my personal dollars are being used to protect them.

Regarding the $250k cap in general - in my opinion, it's far too low. It's lower than the average price of a house in a large amount of the country.

Ask HN: How do you use to store your personal files long-term?
Hi HN community, I'm interested in knowing what are your preferred strategy or strategies for long-term storage of your personal files (from photos, other media, old payrolls, tax fillings, old side projects, college docs, backups...) I realized I have many of my personal long-term files sparsely distributed across many cloud services (which is not optimal economically) and in some external drives (which is not optimal for long-term data security). I wanted to ask you what are your strategies, which are your decision factors. For example, cloud vs local, security, accessibility, convenience...

Thanks,
I think it doesn't nearly tell the story though, the tech market is highly stratified and specialized.

Was there an over-hiring of sales people, hr, middle managers, and underqualified engineers? Yeah, definitely. I saw bartenders becoming "tech recruiters" or "front end engineers" overnight with no formal technical education. I'm not a credentialist, but I am a realist, and the safer bet is someone w/a BS in CS to most companies.

Is there still massive demand for experienced and qualified engineers? Absolutely. I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of tech, there is a massive flee to value that usually accompanies turmoil in the markets and it' time that tech focused more on value.

And therefore we also fail as a society to effectively regulate various complex financial instruments before they actually cause an obvious problem.

My point is not that we should or should not regulate AI. It's just that I believe the causal link from certain types of AI usage to concrete harm for society is too complex for enough humans to band together and achieve consensus a priori on regulation.

I read this novel and didn't really care for it much. I thought the idea of completing massive projects with the fractional attention of tens of thousands of people was hard to take. Coordination costs and context switching are a large overhead for that type of thing, and the novel doesn't address that at all.

I'm very much a skeptic, but it just hit me, what about blood work?

A scattered history of labs probably provides an opportunity to notice something early, even if you don't know what you are looking for. But humans are categorically bad at detecting complex patterns in tabular numbers. Could routinely feeding people's lab history into a model serve as a viable early warning system for problems no one thought to look for yet?

It’s really bizarre. It’s like the sibling comment saying why would humans be different than a large LLM. Where is the evidence humans are simply a large LLM? If that is the case, what is the physics that explains massive difference in power and heat in “computing” between humans at LLMs? Where is the concrete evidence that human intelligence can be simulated by a Turing Machine?
You're grasping at straws, but if it makes you feel good, whatever. Like I pointed out multiple times, there was absolutely 0 useful commentary on this post and is useless for HN discourse.

I guess this could be true in some languages and settings, for example when a notable portion of your tests verify correct behavior with null values, arguments of wrong type, etc. When talking about unit tests that verify the actual logic, you should naturally become more careful with your copilot suggestions. Especially if copilot also wrote the code it's testing.
Oh, interesting. It's not being projected onto the lenses, but straight into the eye or something?
> they're a Chinese Room

Searle's "Chinese Room" thought experiment is designed to appeal to your intuition. But it appeals in an incredibly unrealistic way. If you fill a room full of people shuffling Han characters (why would anyone do this?) you cannot possibly have anything resembling intelligence.

According to random guesses found on the internet, ChatGPT requires at least eight A100 GPUs to generate text. If you believe nVidia's marketing numbers, this gives you about 2.5 petaflops.

That's 2.5 quadrillion operations per second, plus communications overhead. If you decide to implement that calculation, imagine 350,000 versions of planet Earth, each with 7 billion people performing one operation per second. And some kind of faster-than-light communication, I suppose.

It's absolutely obvious to me that nothing like "thought" could possibly occur in any realistically-imaginable room full of people shuffling symbols. But if you fill 350,000 planets with people shuffling symbols frantically... I'm no longer sure? I don't trust my intuition at all? My brain is made up of a lot of atoms, and they somehow produce thought, after all.

Now, ChatGPT is not conscious. We're still several major breakthoughs away from any kind of "real" AI, I think. All we have now is a language module, a large memory of knowledge about the world, and some very inconsistent reasoning abilities. Although I have a nasty suspicion that at least a few of the missing parts will be easy to invent once someone tries...
There is a lot of annoyance in the boilerplate of a program - "set up a scaffold for this, template that, convert data from this format to that format". The AI tools I have experimented with are good at this and for sure this is useful.

But no one can read my mind! If I have to get increasingly specific in what I am telling the AI, and have to formulate my writing style in a way that keeps things very precise, I am essentially programming in another language. Albeit one where the output is uncertain and I have to check everything.

It is possible that someday it reads in an entire codebase (say, millions of lines of code), and I can describe a new API I need and it implements the entire thing. This would be quite useful.

How could have Chase earned their business better when the person on the account says everything is fine and gets off the phone as fast as possible?

There are a large number of reasons but they all boil down to legal uncertainties. Gmail accounts and workspace accounts get different terms of service and it’s not always possible to know that the newer features are compatible with the workspace terms, or worth finding out.
This is one of the more exciting cases for AI that it can do:

+ Ingest a bunch of fine tuning data (previous emails)

+ Output a bunch of new but just rewritten output

+ It only has to be "mostly right" most of the time

Eg, send the top 100 likely emails and we're happy if 20-30 of them land.

On the other hand what I just described is about to be in the hands of every spammer... so there is that.

I did no such thing. AP changed the title after I posted the article. I noticed this almost immediately, but it's not possible for the submitter to edit the title after the fact. I could have reached out to dang to get the title changed but I regarded this as too petty a matter to be worthy of anyone's attention.

Interestingly, the first time AP revised the article there was a note indicating a revision occurred, and a paste of new information near the top with Russia's initial response. It's a rather different article now.
I like this approach of using the Typescript compiler API to produce the runtime type validator from the TS type, instead of the other way around!
