Yeah. You weren't alone. My favorite was some guy who'd been packing boxes for Amazon for like ten years and couldn't get anyone to give him the time of day, who ended up getting a like 200k a year job at one of the bigger SV companies. That kind of story was something I couldn't shut up about during my first couple years at TB, and it was definitely something lost when we changed models. (We made that change for a reason - discussed elsewhere in this thread - but it was still sad to see that model go.)

The issue of "talent but no experience" is a glaring inefficiency, but it's the kind of inefficiency that (so far, at least) it's been very hard to make a business out of. (And to be clear, this isn't just employers being evil, a lot of their behavior is rational and it's not like candidates never lie or cheat either.)

I have some thoughts on this that I'll probably be batting around with my new bosses a bit once we're settled in with Karat's teams. Since Karat focuses more on screening than on trying to be a marketplace, it's a more natural fit for their (our, I guess I should say now) existing business anyway. Hopefully we can make it work.
Both. You smell fumes while rear doors are open because the APU is not moving (or there is another plane in close proximity). From the main engines, it should not be noticeable in flight

If we force content_contains_answer to false, we always re-run the evaluation step first to get a new justification for why the content doesn't have enough information. Then we run that justification through another prompt to convert it to a user-facing response.

It happens pretty rarely, off the top of my head probably 5% of the time. However we do see a pretty wide range in binary token probabilities anywhere from low 50% to something that asymptotically approaches 100%.
Close. Similar milieu, different American coast.
Wait, are you saying they added that in this release? That's awesome!
Right, I believe so too. I work in aerospace software, and, for as remarkable as the GPT code generation examples have been so far, I think that even if it could write aerospace software, it would be because humans have spelled out the requirements so precisely that we really aren't looking at any substantial reduction in (human) workforce.

You're unlikely to be able to ask an AI tool for "flight management software" and get what you want. This stuff is extremely complex, with lots of moving parts and interactions with other components and with government regulations. You may be able to successfully ask for some specific function, but again, in order to understand that level of detail to even know what to ask for, you have to be pretty involved. It can't just be some non-engineer asking for things they don't understand.

Never mind the challenge of certifying the resulting software for use in commercial airspace...

And while I think AI tools may be a help (not unlike Stack Overflow), I think it would be a really big mistake to start replacing novice junior engineers with AI tools, even if we could do so, because we need senior engineers who really understand this stuff, and most of the training for aerospace work is on the job.
I got a DVT and a peripheral neuropathy from the first two Pfizer COVID shots so I could not get any boosters. Then I got Covid first week of 2023. I had fatigue for two months but then started taking Nattokinase which has helped my fatigue tremendously. Now I have more good days than bad days.
Some new designs are 'bleedless' and use electric compressors sourcing from outside air to pressurize the cabin, and these designs shouldn't have significant fume event issues.

However not all recent cleansheet designs use this methodology, for example the A350 (launched 2013, after 787) and Bombardier CSeries (now A220, also 2013) both use the traditional bleed air design, as do the modernized 777X, 737MAX and A320neo families. I think even among modern designs, only the 787 is bleedless.

So we're at least another generation away from going bleedless, and it seems that Airbus and some other Boeing design teams have decided the tradeoffs aren't worth it. Maybe the new regulatory environment will put more pressure in that direction.
How quickly the bar was raised. I can remember a time when we nitpicked Dall.E for creepy eyes.

Surprisingly some things we consider easy seem to be hard computationally.
That's not an accurate summary.

The regulatory regime is one that makes depositors whole when doing otherwise seems likely to cause a major crisis in the banking system. Which we've had for a long time. It merely seems inconsistent because evidence of "likely to cause a major crisis" differs by current possible crisis.

As https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/banking-in-very-uncer... explains in painful detail, the reasons why they likely concluded that there is systemic risk. But long story short, rising interest rates caused the banking sector to have $620 billion in unrealized losses. Unsurprising since the interest rate rise was *INTENDED* to make people lose money, making money more valuable relative to goods and services, which reduces inflations.

But $620 billion is substantially more than the $130 billion in the FDIC insurance fund. It is substantially less than the $2 trillion in equity in the banking sector, but both losses and equity are unevenly spread. Therefore there are banks under water, and others that are fine. But nobody is sure which are which. And given cash outflows from worried people, we were about to find out the hard way. And once there is a bank panic, even fine banks become not fine.

Like Wile E. Coyote, running off this cliff works fine until you look down. But we've looked down. And now the whole sector needs saving. Thus these actions.

They will go back to normal behavior once the crisis is over.
Massive release! `const` generic parameters in particular have been a god-send for our repo’s static inference (https://github.com/arktypeio/arktype) where previously we were forced to constantly rely on complex narrowing logic based on extends checks.

I look forward to the day when we support 5.0 as our minimum version and replace all of them with `const` generics for 1:1-inferred definitions like this:

const package = type({
name: "string",
"version?": "number"
})

Plus we’ll finally be able to remove the crazy hack we had to write to allow ts-morph to make type assertions on our codebase by transforming all of our `.ts` imports to `.js` in a virtual file system, which now that I think of it I’m probably looking forward to deleting even more XD

Great work, and looking forward to what comes next!

Will this be the interface that I need?

Mathesar ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34999774 ) was the last one I tried out but it couldn't support more than 250k rows without crashing and required foreign keys in order to infer relationships. Otherwise it's exactly what I want. An Excel/Airtable interface around a raw database connection.

How does Outerbase compare?

Nattokinase had been a godsend for me.
To pile on on other comments regarding the non viability of air launch rocketry, the only reason it makes sense is for rerouting launch locations based on weather.

The only customer needing an asset in orbit regardless of a weather violation is the military. The other bonus would be spreading out launch locations to essentially any airport rather than a few launch locations that could be denied by enemies.

However their desire for it hasn’t been enough to fund it. Even Astra (with a similar launch anywhere, whenever premise) hasn’t been robustly funded by the US military.
I saw this really annoying thing on reddit where some user was clearly answering questions in small business subreddits via ChatGPT to promote their web design business. It made me sick and got me furious for some reason. The answers were clearly in the voice of chatGPT which is currently one that is about as generic as a 19 year old trying to break into content marketing on an industry they have no knowledge about. The internet is getting saturated with this drivel and I think it will just drown itself out.

As more and more of these auto generated articles, responses, traffic, and soon video blur the lines, I think the search for authenticity will be the thing that keeps it alive. It will not be hard to stand out, but maybe it will be harder to surface the authentic content.

That's a great link but the blog post adds quite a bit of context so I'll pin it to the top but not change the URL. I hope that works!
I am not entirely sure if you juxtapose the legal framework for Danish non-competes and garden leave. But assuming you do: In Denmark you are formally not employed, and you are free (actually obligated) to look for other job opportunities. You just can't, well, compete. So you can not take employment in a competitors company etc.
Surely some CEO here, or someone who has worked in HR can illuminate us on how they believe this is true.

I once caught a company I worked for in the lie about this. I was advocating for a new employee who didn't want to sign the no-compete clause. They say they needed it. I asked what problems they had in California, and how it was impacting their business - they replied there were no problems. So I was like, "Ok, so if it isn't impacting you in CA, why do you think it will impact elsewhere?"

In the end, they did hire that person, and did not make them sign the non-compete.
Yes, sorry. I've added links to those at the top of the thread.
This comment feels AI generated to me, but I'm not sure if now I'm just being paranoid :)
This feels like a good point. I am curious how the "feeding" would occur here. If there's an API to do this sort of thing right now I'm not aware of it. But I definitely believe that it's coming!
UK is perfect for launches to about 55 degree retrograde inclination

You wouldn't want to launch into a sun-syncrhonous orbit from the Equator. Or from Florida or Cape Canaveral for that matter. The delta-V you start with which is great for an equatorial launch has to be shed to get into a polar or near-polar orbit.

From Scotland though, there's far less Delta V than Florida, or from French Guiana.
ChatGPT agrees that some might see it as creepy.

I only read a bit of it myself, but I pasted the whole contents of the story to ChatGPT and then I asked simply:

> Is the above text creepy? Why or why not?

Quoth ChatGPT:

> […] The use of gendered language and the description of the "damsel in distress" could be seen as objectifying or stereotypical. However, it's also possible that the author was trying to use a playful or nostalgic tone that is common in tech writing. Ultimately, whether or not the text is creepy is subjective and depends on the individual reader's interpretation and personal values.
Run the Alpaca chat and ask it :)
Can you cite the page?

I found a page talking about how they won’t enforce their trademark against people who use it, but this is not the same as not enforcing copyright.

> but humans want to anthropomorphise it

What a silly thing to complain about.

We have a multi-billion dollar company whose raison d'être was to take the Turing test's metric and turn it into a target. It's a fucking natural language prompt that outputs persuasive hallucinations on arbitrary input.

If humans didn't anthropomorphize this thing you ought to be concerned about a worldwide, fast-spreading brain fungus.
I tried this for awhile (3-4 months) and it was extremely effective. Two rules.

1) I only talked about what I did

2) I only talked about things that occurred in the last <pick a time horizon>

It biases you for action.

> Most small town papers are filled with verbatim Reuters reports.

Not exactly. It's mostly AP reports, not Reuters, covering stuff from outside that small paper's area. If there's a flood of national interest in that small town, it's probably one of the reporters from that paper that will write the national wire story.

That's kind of the point of the Associated Press, lots of small local organizations banding together to offer comprehensive local/national/international coverage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press:

> Many newspapers and broadcasters outside the United States are AP subscribers, paying a fee to use AP material without being contributing members of the cooperative. As part of their cooperative agreement with the AP, most member news organizations grant automatic permission for the AP to distribute their local news reports. The AP traditionally employed the "inverted pyramid" formula for writing, a method that enables news outlets to edit a story to fit its available publication area without losing the story's essentials, although in 2007, then-AP President Tom Curley called the practice "dead".[6]
I want to know about the interface of the typewriter/ printer he was working off of. Also what kinds of stencil guides were available at the time. My hot take after reading it: Did he have some way of 'setting' the stencils directly onto the printer in a very controlled way and the ability to 'pause' printing?

IE, prints prints prints, pause, some stencil required, put in stencil into controlled space, make mark, remove stencil, press space bar, prints prints prints prints...

It might also explain the '+' issues. It might have been a very small stencil and less well fit into a stencil guide.
> If we can't do it manually ourselves

Because this is what computers are good at - crunching large volumes of data and with the latest machine learning, being able to utilise patterns in data to combine them in novel ways.

And we do already do this ourselves in biology - it's called genetic engineering...

Me too. If the risk of not adhering to a license is minimal, a for-profit organization has fewer incentives to do so.

The US copyright law is draconian, copyright violations are felony violations with 10 years prison and 100k$ fines, the Aaron Swartz taught us that.
ChatGPT (gpt3.5-turbo) is terrible at calculating anything. I've seen some preliminary evidence that GPT 4.0 is better at calculation so it may be possible for it.

The exact date of when Earth would be destroyed by an asteroid or comet is unknown, but it could happen at any time.

> I have a strange take - I think Typescript types are better most other languages, including Java, C++ and Go. It's strange since TypeScript is adding types to a weakly typed language.

Typescript types don't exist at run time, at all. So it's easy to be better when your language is merely about static analysis as it will not enforce any sort of type system during runtime. Java, Go or C++ have different constraints.
> This touches on a big reason why it's so hard for me to get on board with generative AI. The hype around it is pretty much the same as the hype I saw with NFTs, complete with a community lacking any awareness of just how uninteresting, if not downright bad, their "art" was.

I strongly disagree. NFTs were always ugly and useless. Generative AI is useful and valuable right this minute.

I'll even concede that the output from these systems is mostly ugly, but for many use cases, that's OK.

Given the choice between nothing, extremely cheap custom art that looks OK, and commissioning a proper artist to draw exactly what we want, I think generative AI is going to be the clear winner most of the time.

If you're a contract artist who does work for small companies and individuals, I don't see a future where generative AI doesn't severely undercut your business.
If - guessing from the given example - the brackets problem only involves a single type of bracket, then the solution is micro-sized:

OpenCount = 0
until( Exhausted( input ) ) {
if( NextChar( input ) == '(' )
OpenCount++
if( NextChar( input ) == ')' )
OpenCount--
if( OpenCount < 0 )
ERROR( "Negative Nesting Level in Input" )
IncrementPointer( input )
}
if( OpenCount != 0 )
ERROR( OpenCount." Unclosed Nesting Level(s) in Input" )
Print( "Nesting okay in Input" )

It took me <10 seconds to think up that algorithm, and I haven't written parsing code (that cared about such things) in years.
I dunno about the AIM-9X specifically, but the US has a hilariously large sidewider stockpile, so the public shouldnt feel irate about "wasting" them on disposable drones or on downing balloons.
Though non of this applies to Virgin Orbit, which is a US-based company.
It is not just that you can create fingerprint evidence.

It is that you can create fingerprint evidence in normal interactions with fingerprint systems in ways that leave no other evidence, and are unlikely to draw scrutiny from nearby humans.

This comment will not age well in the next several years :)

GPT-5 or 6 will be able to do this flawlessly, better than 99% of humans.
Every few years there are advancements in ML and people freak out.

Remember deep fakes? We had been dealing with doctored still images a la Photoshop for years already. Everyone knew images could be doctored and so we started to trust them less as a reliable source of information when it mattered. We'll do the same with video (and already did to an extent since manipulation through editing was already possible).

What is the worst that can possibly happen as a result of AI being able to generate text that is indistinguishable from something a human wrote? Or that a "chat bot" can answer questions with more relevance and detail (correct or made up) ?

That we will have more garbage information out there?

I think humans already did a great job of making that a problem already. AI has the ability to produce more of it, but it's just pouring gasoline on a fire that was already blazing and that we already had to figure out how to deal with.

Moral of the story: when it matters, check the source. Why does AI suddenly make this "new" ?

For what it's worth, I'm not riding the hype train. I am neither excited about ChatGPT nor scared of it. It's just another day, just another tool, just another marketing hype train. My personal opinion on the matter is just "meh."
Given that much of the money paying the WINE developers is coming from Valve, it's fair to give them much of the credit.

I think you're assuming here that the HTM accounting means the bonds don't actually lose value if they're held to maturity? That's not the case; it's just arbitrary accounting treatment, and the regulatory decision to permit such accounting is a big part of why the SVB blew up. Accounting rules are supposed to reflect economic reality to some extent, but they obviously don't do so exactly. For example, under FIFO inventory accounting, two identical boxes in the warehouse might be on the books at different values; but I assume you'd agree they're still actually worth the same amount, since they're identical.

All bonds get held to maturity by someone (unless they default, but that's not the problem here). The FMV of the bond is determined by the value of the bond's remaining cash flows to that person; so if the FMV went down, then that should be a clue that value was fundamentally lost, regardless of who's holding the bond.
You can observe this trend w/ AIfluencers already:
They create short guides on how to leverage AI tools like chatGPT to generate income/reach and all of their typical bullet points equal generation of low-quality noise:

Examples: let chatGPT..
1. write blog posts
2. generate scripts for youtube videos
3. create short stories so you can sell them as a book

Painful to see. I would like to think nobody in his right mind is willing to consume these delightful pieces of work. Dead internet theory on the next level.
I'm not saying private individuals have an obligation to presume innocence. I'm saying it's the courteous thing to do. It makes sense to apply the same principle. Better to assume a guilty man innocent, than an innocent man guilty. It's not like there's any risk in any of us doing that in this case.
