>> institutions admit they are racing to catch up

LOL these institutions aren't racing anywhere, they've been publishing papers written by SciGen and other obvious nonsense text generators for years and are still doing it:

https://pubpeer.com/search?q=scigen

If they can't even keep crap generated by Perl scripts out of the literature what hope do they have against ChatGPT?

>> the biggest [clue] is that it does not properly understand academic referencing – a vital part of written university work – and often uses “suspect”
references

So just like non-student papers then?

>> She added: “If you cheat your way to a degree, you might get an initial job, but you won’t do well and your career won’t progress the way you want it to.”

Loads of people in super highly placed and powerful positions have been discovered decades later to have plagiarised their phd or masters thesis. Cheating works because nobody is reading most academic output, it's only the piece of paper that people care about.

>> She said that students who can’t spot the weaknesses in what the bot is producing may slip up. “In my subject of computer science, AI tools can generate code but it will often contain bugs,” she explained

uhhhmm student programs contain bugs too even when not written by AI, that's why they're paying you to teach them. Who is this fool? "Irene Glendinning, head of academic integrity at Coventry University", oh right of course she is.

Academia is over, it's just gonna take like a decade for people to fully accept that and another decade or two to do something about it. Cheating is rampant even amongst the professors even before ChatGPT, which is why they're so lazy about tackling it amongst the students. Now there are cheap LLMs academic output, whether of papers (already a mostly write-only medium) or grades, is doomed to become a sick joke that we're all forced to pay for.
> “It leads to a new philosophy of physics that rejects the idea that the universe is a machine governed by unconditional laws with a prior existence, and replaces it with a view of the universe as a kind of self-organising entity in which all sorts of emergent patterns appear, the most general of which we call the laws of physics.”

Very interesting - granted this may be the wrong interpretation but I am very interested in the idea of application of evolutionary process to physical phenomena. Why shouldn’t or why couldn’t so-called natural “laws” face competitive pressure the same way organisms on earth do? Just particles after all. Maybe Darwin had the grand theory all along.
I think you are misunderstanding me, so let me ask a simple question:

Is it (except for performance) always 100% equivalent whether a calculation is done "locally" or whether it is ran on some other, potentially just spawned, thread and then retrieved from this thread?

If your answer is "no it is not always 100% equivalent" then we agree (and I think we do).
I have read apologies for Robespierre, Napoleon, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh that were practically identical to your Caesar apology. There was no end to all the good stuff those people tirelessly did for their ungrateful nations in spite of all the evil people who tried to stop them.

The FDIC wound run out of money. It’s likely more than enough of these funds should be in higher interest accounts. Even if it’s loans these bangs wrote, those loans are under water right now.
I mean chatgpt directly asking for commands you don't know. The commands you type into the shell are not sent to chatGPT. So basically a tab with a ChatGPT chat in the terminal, no direct connection to a shell-session. You save the detour through the browser. No idea how well this works.
Been kinda wonderin'bout this.

Human memory is a chemical process driven by entropy ("more or less"?), making it one-way(?), so retrocausal info wouldn't be accessed via any mechanism associated with stored memory.

Some point in the future? We are in the midst of a massive species extinction event already. The problem with all that: The dependencies in the biosphere are complex graphs and we humans are eradicating part of that, unraveling everything connected to that. Guess who is part of that big graph? Humans. For beings which declare themselves as being "intelligent" this can only be described as exceptionally stupid.

"2 workers died in the blast.

28 workers and firemen died in the weeks that followed from acute radiation syndrome (ARS).

19 ARS survivors had died later, by 2006; most from causes not related to radiation, but it’s not possible to rule all of them out (especially five that were cancer-related).

15 people died from thyroid cancer due to milk contamination. These deaths were among children who were exposed to 131I from milk and food in the days after the disaster. This could increase to between 96 and 384 deaths, however, this figure is highly uncertain.

There is currently no evidence of adverse health impacts in the general population across affected countries, or wider Europe."
Bing Chat can read content from its index. This was its attempt:

Sure, I can try to clarify the article for you. The article is about how the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which was launched in December 2021 and started sending back images in July 2022, will change our understanding of the universe and ourselves. The author argues that the JWST will show us new and amazing things about the cosmos that will challenge our moral and philosophical views, just like previous discoveries by astronomers such as Copernicus and Kant did. The author gives some examples of what the JWST might reveal, such as:

* The first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang

* The atmospheres and surfaces of planets around other stars

* The origins of life and its possible diversity in the universe

* The nature of dark matter and dark energy

The author also discusses how these discoveries will affect our sense of wonder, awe, curiosity, responsibility and identity as human beings living on a small planet in a vast cosmos. The author suggests that we need to be open-minded and humble when we encounter new cosmic realities that might challenge our existing beliefs and values. The author concludes by saying that the JWST will not only expand our vision of the external world, but also our interior lives.
I hope this summary helps you understand the main points of the article.

This talks about the FDIC being insolvent as well.

I don’t think you understand how much money would have to be loaned. They’d have to print many trillions overnight. This is a hyperinflation event.
No, there is something decisively different about today's internet. I'm not from that time, having been born after the turn of the millennium, but I also feel a sense of excitement when I read these things from the past. This spirit is not present in today's corporatized, sterile internet. Everyone is trying to build a business on the internet now, so much so that there is no place left for fun anymore.
How about design the coffee maker so I don't need a program to use it?

We have a water dispenser at work which can dispense regular, chilled, carbonated and cooking water. It has a printed out laminated instruction sheet next to it, because it all works with a combination of twisting a ring left or right, pushing it up or down, and I believe there is a handle too. That's bad design.

This is the reverse of "automate anything that can be automated", this is bringing the humans back in a step by step process.

A software engineer's job isn't to write code, it's to make decisions. Going from "give me Uber for bicycles" to a working app that runs on a device takes a million decisions, which a bunch of people (designers, copywriters, engineers, etc) make.

Yes, the AI is good at taking low-level requests and turning them into reasonable code, and then refining them, but unless the CEO is going to sit down and spend days telling the AI "OK now make this button disabled when it's clicked until the table loads", you need someone to be doing that.
Every time someone on HN invokes an LLM's scoring on a benchmark as if it meant something, I'll post a link to this paper:

What Will it Take to Fix Benchmarking in Natural Language Understanding?

https://aclanthology.org/2021.naacl-main.385/

To summarise, it's been quite some time now that language models have been beating NLU benchmarks left and right, but that still doesn't tell us anything about their true capabilities, because those benchmarks don't measure what they purport to be measuring.

Or, to rephrase in a way that shows how much I love pattern matching: you keep saying this word, "benchmark". I don't think it means, what you think it means.
I don’t know the science of this possibility, but you should check out the short story Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom by Ted Chiang. He writes directly about a future where we have a tool to communicate between branches universes.
This comment reeks of low effort finger pointing, I hadn’t thought I would have to read these juvenile takes on HN. Would you feel the same way if 200 people had died? 2000? For the record, I have nothing but support for the cause they were protesting, policing in America is hugely broken and there are well-documented racial elements to that failure, but I don’t think I’m alone in wishing demonstrations themselves hadn’t been so destructive.

Try making this comment again without using the R word. Are you of the opinion that the protests in Seattle are immune from criticism? I had a friend who closed her store after it was looted twice. Where does she fit into your distressingly simple model?

I was living next to CHOP during the whole ordeal. If you don’t have on the ground experience, I genuinely don’t think your opinion is worth anything here, I’m sorry.
I do this already but this looks like a nice general prompt. Otherwise it just launches into an answer without having all the info. More like a robotic API than a chat partner!

> Definitely. Carmack is no dummy, but I’d argue this comment section proves that he gave a pretty bad answer here (bad for the audience, not if you know Carmack and what he means).

I dunno, I got what he meant from the start, and the same advice was given by many people in many forms, usually in variant of "well, the business doesn't give a shit about details but the end product".

> Now, does that mean I think lowly of managers? No, managers have a crucial role, and the ones who are great are really really crucial, and the best can salvage a sinking ship. But most managers aren’t even good. That has a lot to do with poor leadership and outdated ideas of how to select for and train them.

I joked some managers could be replaced by forward rule in mailing system, ChatGPT is an upgrade on that.
I talk about magic numbers from an abstract, theoretical perspective. from that perspective it's not relevant that you can't generalize an equation solver. but would bet that if it was possible then there would be no numbers except for 0 and 1.

---

you could also think of it this way. a generalized equation solver would necessarily derive the solution in a complete fashion. for someone analyzing the code it would be come clear what's going on. your specialized equation solver otoh just has some "magical" solution in there.
Which is hilarious, because they always market windows 10 and 11 through the lens of "optimizing your workflow".

Yep, it's worth it. Question answered. for me at least.
Instead of writing "All of those are about ... I don't know about "The Jeffersons .." you might say "Of the $N I know about ...".

That might be less confrontational by better expressing the limits of your knowledge.

Why do you say the parent poster is right? I disagree with validity of your distinctive qualifiers.

In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35212323 I listed four other shows, all with families with teenaged children, and all taking place in apartment buildings.

Including one in public housing.

But the number of other shows I listed strongly suggest that apartments are NOT associated with low-income ghettos, at least in TV depictions.

Also, "The Odd Couple", two divorced men share an apartment. In the show they were adults in the 1930s, so matching the actors' ages of around 50. They have an 11-year-old neighbor, Philip.
Maybe you should watch the video and realize that it can't be live and let live. By you living with your truck, we die.
Price discrimination is illegal in the EU: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/pri...

You have to have a single price for goods across the EU, so you shouldn't have a "very dynamic price" depending on their country.

> My advice to anyone who will listen is to really pay attention to the sins of your own side

I am not from the US and do nopt plan to ever live there. With the distance of a European perspective I'd even phrase this more harshly: Don't pick a side. you don't have to. Judge political actors by their actions, that means by what they get done and by what they prevent from getting done. It is also okay to stand behind single political individuals if they do a compelling job and shine through their integrity and endurance.

Your job is to remove people from office if they fuck up. And that includes people on "insignificant" levels of politics, be it your town, city, province or whatnot.

What baffles me most about the US, is that you guys can elect somebody as a head of state who has millions less absolute votes than the other candidate and not completely loose your shit about that fact alone. Where I am from this would cause riots in the streets for weeks.
I wonder if E-Paper could be a suitable camouflage in Ukraine to hide from drones? Most of the drone clips I've seen are with visible light but maybe are the drones using other light sources? If not a massive epaper display or even many smaller ones... could be feasible camouflage?
I’ve never understood why left leaning governments don’t get rid of it. Or why the EU is so pro it.
The problem with ChatGPT seems to be that it often gives answers that appear plausible at the surface, but with enough knowledge you realize they are inaccurate or even wrong. I wouldn’t put much stock in the analysis of a beginner - I’d trust them to say the moves were legal, and that ChatGPT stopped trying to materialize pieces from thin air, but not any analysis beyond that.
Competition still has potential for infinite growth. Even if ai is better than humans at everything, humans will be finite and will likely be better at making people with money feel important. Potentially the future economy is everyone just competing to make the wealthy feel important whether fighting their wars, worshiping at their cults, or working at their “startups”
College was designed and mostly still is designed to give people a general education. When the society sees it as a pathway to become a professional.

While it does help, it is definitely not the best way to get a job.

As my former job, I founded a software engineering school that was very similar to what apprenticeships provide: hands-on learning. We did not have teachers, no lectures, students were learning by working on coding projects, very easy at the beginning, reaching industry standard by the end of the program.

And this type of methodology, coming from progressive education (Montessori is a spin of this) also works to become a life-long learner. In my opinion, actually way more efficient than traditional college.

Apprenticeship has this bad rep of being for blue collar jobs, I hope this will shift. So many of us in the tech industry have mostly learned on our own and on the job. I think we are the leaving proof that this type of program are extremely efficient.
Emacs it's bearable with persp-mode. If you set the global keybind to C-c C-w (as it was with
some former buffer manager) you'll find yourself using C-c -C-w b more than C-x b, because it will show you the isolated buffer per "pane" a la Screen/Tmux.

You can use the first pane for editing, the second one for eww, another one for programming, one more for M-x calc (and the GNU info help page) and so on. Much better than cluttering your buffer list.

C-c C-w s to create a new pane, and C-c C-w C to destroy it, and C-c C-w ? in order to get help. That's it.
I'm in a similar situation myself, in terms of having an interesting and varied background, but not much of an obvious next step.

Some classical advice is to focus on what problem you can solve for people, and focus on being the go-to guy for that.

If you have a great network / like to put on events, then maybe do that? Some kind of TED for VCs? Or even just a regular meetup / dinner and drinks, and you can hear about peoples opportunities and job offers...
Rust offers at least one way to prevent this which would work today (sleep tokens) in the language, which was rejected by the person doing this work mostly because it seems like they thought it'd be a bother, I'd want to see that much better explored before I'm convinced - but then who am I to insist.

You can't attempt sleep tokens in C or C++ because their type systems have the off-by-one error, they assume the smallest type has at least two values and requires at least one byte of storage, whereas Rust acknowledges that types might have zero or one value, and so either be unrepresentable or require no storage at all. The latter makes a sleep token possible.
Seems the WDL probabilities would have a prior based on who you are playing.

> It's the broader sense of unease that humanity's gradient-razing days, [...],
may soon be over.

No, the sense of unease comes from people fearing for their livelihood, given that it looks like that their raison d'être is about to be revoked by some AI automating their career away.

A point you so aptly summarized with:
> Vast swathes of the human economy are just scaffolding to support the rest: humans reproducing to keep the optimization machine going.

The unease is, imo, only so palpable however, because every stakeholder that stands from profiting from such a development - i.e. capital owners - refuse to describe it as what the development really is.

Publicly advertising AI as "we're basicially moonshotting the largest job automation operation ever attempted, so 20-30% of you will be out of a job in the next 15 years" would probably cause unrest - and rightly so!

> What else can you do anyway?

Communism - and ya hate to see it (as an american)!

The means of production becoming dead-simple to use, that's a prelude for the proletariat being able to seize them.

On a more serious note, you can always protest, and escalate, which I'm hoping will happen.
I started on vim. Switched to emacs for a couple years, then switched back.

The biggest issue with emacs for me is ergonomic. It relies way too much on the pinkie finger for everything and it gets really painful when you get RSI in your pinkie. It’s fine if you’re going slow and taking your time with things, but then why learn a complicated editor in the first place if you’re just going to go slow?

Yes, I tried evil mode for a while as well. The problem with that is that it’s, well, evil. An unholy alliance of drastically different paradigms, the setup just becomes way too complicated. You lose the main advantage of emacs modelessness and are back to switching modes like vim, only now you also have all of the emacs key bindings to deal with. Why not just go back to vim and simplify your life? That’s what I did!
I think plummeting prices for hardware since the 1980s drove that, not relational databases.
