That's assuming some ever expanding workload.

It's not like e.g. a company will start selling 10x of their product just because their productivity is 10x better due to AI. So it's not like their workload with increase 10x to match.

This means a more or less same-ish workload. And if this takes them, say, X devs today (without AI), they could perhaps do it with 1/5th or 1/10th the devs plus AI tomorrow.

No need to "assign more workers to the sector". Sure, some sectors with big expansion potential might grow their business too due to automation, but for most businesses it will just be increased productivity...
If the future could affect the past, it suggest that then if time reversed, you would notice something unusual right? Kind of like suggesting there is a side effect in your function (consciousness). Kind of like how today, past events can influence the future like we act differently from learning from mistakes.

> I think this idea can apply to "speaking with someone" as well. Again, I'm not saying that if there is a crises people shouldn't seek help. Just that speaking to someone, as far as I can tell, ought to have a purpose other than "I just need to talk." What does that mean, to "need" to talk? What are you looking to get out of the conversation? Do you need advice because you don't know what to do? Do you feel alone and isolated and need evidence that you are not?

I think you nearly lead yourself to the answer here - it can and should have a goal of learning and self improvement.

Personally, what I thought was most helpful about therapy was getting a "second opinion" on the things that I think and the way I think about them. While I used to think of myself as a highly rational, evidence based, logical etc etc person, I discovered over time via a helpful outsider that in fact I was subject to biases and disordered thinking in the same way that most people are, all the while thinking that I was being perfectly reasonable. Especially when it came to things that I had bad experiences with in the past, that I was afraid of and / or was trying to avoid unpleasantness around.

I found that I could rationalize (meaning: reverse engineer seemingly reasonable reasons for) my worry about things that hadn't yet happened and were unlikely to happen, often involving complicated lines of reasoning which hid various fallacies. I figured out why I was worried about those things in the first place (which funnily enough wasn't clear to me at the time), and how experiences bias thought and perception of likelihood. All this involved eating a lot of humble pie, and resulted in a greater understanding of people around me and why they behave they way they do too.

The second most helpful thing was learning to cope. There's probably stuff that's out of your control (e.g. stuff that happened in the past that's still affecting you, or just plain old facts of life) that you can't change. It's not that therapy magically fixes your problems per se, but perhaps you're making it worse for yourself: e.g. shame, embarrassment, self-blame, over-worry. At the risk of sounding woo-woo, Buddhists talk about the "second arrow" which is the unnecessary suffering you inflict upon yourself on top of the suffering that you already have to live through - that rings true for me.

Like any skill, you practice and learn through failure how to apply these things. I still worry occasionally, but I can now much more easily take a step back, evaluate, separate out what I can do and can't do about it, formulate a plan, ask for help, etc instead of turning into a nervous wreck who cannot do a thing. I now mostly worry the correct amount, which is the small amount that pushes me to do something productive about it :-)

I imagine this all sounds very abstruse if you don't have this problem and already worry the correct amount, but I'm writing this so that others in a similar situation and have an inkling that something's off (e.g. "why am I always so angry"), but haven't yet discovered what's going on can benefit. If anyone has questions about this, feel free to reply and we can chat privately.

I will admit that while reading the news I have on occasion consciously committed certain details about recent events to memory knowing I had an upcoming social gathering specifically for this purpose.
When a patient loses weight, some fraction of that will always be lean muscle mass. The issue with GLP-1 drugs is that fraction tends to be higher than with other approaches to weight loss. See the link I posted above for details which should make the risk clear to you.

There are circumstances when those drugs are medically indicated. However, it seems they are being over prescribed without proper consideration of the harmful side effects.
Can you give some examples? Elaborate?

It highlights what’s wrong with the for-profit news industry.
Its valuable to us because of how our brains work. Learning a piece of info that is bad actually adjust our internal networks more effectively than learning what is good.

It works for ML too. If Tesla had a set of training data that was inversed, ie the vast majority of cars were involved in a crash, it would have a fully working level 5 autonomous autopilot 2 years ago.

Its much more efficient to have the knowledge of statistically improbable but bad actions to avoid, rather to have a set of good actions where you don't know where the boundaries are.

What should I ask Jonathan Swift?
Conversations with Tyler is an interview podcast hosted by economics professor and blogger Tyler Cowen. Ahead of episodes releasing he frequently polls his commenters about what he should ask his next guest, and in this case he is implying his next guest will be Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) as depicted by GPT. It's unclear to me if this post is some meta-satire or genuine.
My daughter could do the same at that age, and basically never got screen time. I don't think screen time has anything to do with it, it's just dependent on the child, parental involvement, and how much you read in the house.

Yeah, I had to use an iPhone for a while, and found it incredibly frustrating to figure out how to do pretty much anything. Everything I wanted to do involved a whole bunch of blind searching.

I don't think it's the iPhone's fault. I think it's because I am used to Android.

Both Android and iPhone are very unintuitive and lack discoverability. You learn how to use them with experience.

Right. "Time only moves in one direction" is not saying much more than "our consciousness experience time moving in one direction". The very idea that time "moves" is entirely related to our vantage point. If our perception were not bound to time, then the nature of cause and effect might look completely different.
Indeed, it's fascinating to witness a sizable segment of the HN community and distinguished intellectuals like Chomsky displaying absolute denial.

I really like your website, well done.

This isn’t really a “google project” in the way I think about that term, but it’s a research project. Google’s research is constantly advancing and when things get far enough along they do tend to get used in production. Individual research papers are just a step along the way. This research seems useful for training video generation systems like transformers and especially multi modal systems. Imagine you have a robot that needs to understand the world around it. It needs to interpret text input (likely as voice) but it also needs to understand complex scenes around it. If you can get a system to accurately describe YouTube videos (a captive data set) then it should also be able to understand a live video feed on a robot. That’s an important part of a robot. But it is not in itself a product or notable project.
- Postman collections have to be created manually by a developer (usually).

- Downstream calls (think DB, 3rd party API calls, kafka) are not handled.
Tell HN: I tried arc browser and I am scared
I just got access to the arc browser beta and was blown away by the experience as many before. The natural use of gestures, interface that gets out of your way and FINALLY a concept to combine tabs, windows and bookmarks so that it works for the modern age is just amazing.

Then i stumbled: first there was a compulsory login before you could use anything, sure that is maybe needed so they could limit the beta users and control support load as well as turn the app off when a paid version is released BUT the way this was build made me suspicious. The next red flag is that spaces and virtual tabs/bookmarks are not exposed via the bookmarks api to extensions. Finally I realised there is not even an export feature for my data, something i did not check as i never even imagined that would be missing from a browser. This is also not a matter of features they did not have time to implement as i understand the beta phase is quite advanced and they even found time to build ridiculous features like track pad vibrations when you change a slider to set the background texture intensity.

The company website has a wall of text under values that basically says nothing and kind of only says experience is important to them and they wont sell user data, which is both understood.

How likely is it they will create sweet poison that makes users addicted and then treat them as slaves?

I hope I am wrong, but we have to stop letting companies get away with this.
By getting so many more roads built in the desert at the southern border of the USA to ferry stuff for building a little bit of wall, the president that's most helped illegal immigration is Donald Trump. He's also helped trucking drugs around, but this is less surprising considering the way that man is.
Ask HN: Are you still using Alfred?
Hey, I enjoyed reading your article on Alphabet Chess (https://lukesalamone.github.io/posts/alphabet-chess/). The idea seems quite unique, but I can understand how it could lead to positions where the engine may consider the position to be almost equal, but it could be objectively worse for one of the players. It would be interesting to compare this variant with Fischer Random Chess.

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_random_chess#White's_a...,

> It has been argued that two games should be played from each starting position, with players alternating colors, since the advantage offered to White in some initial positions may be greater than in classical chess. However, ..... on average a Fischer Random starting position is 22.2% less unbalanced than the standard starting position.

Here's a Reddit post from October 2022 (https://old.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/yeregq/fischer_rando...) that states the following:

> Mean centipawn advantage for white - 36.82
Standard deviation - 13.79
Most "unfair" positions with +0.79 advantage

If I am interpreting your diagram correctly, it appears that Fischer Random Chess provides more balanced positions.
> I find the phrase "statistical analysis" a frustrating one nowadays as it seems to have become a signal for "I hold a particular philosophy of the mind".

LLMs are trained to reproduce human text, that is different from for example AlphaGo that is trained to win Go games. Trained to reproduce data is what we mean with a statistical model, trained to win is how we got superhuman performance before, while trained to reproduce data performs worse than the original creators of the data.
If you think of it as a series of states with some prior probability, and jumps from state to state also have some probability, it isn't so much causal as correlated.

If time is a true dimension and reality is the most probable universe when integrated over all of time, improbable states and transitions might occur in the "past" in order to enable high probability states and transitions in the future.
I think tidal forces are a better analogy. As change accelerates, basically any pre-existing organisational structure will feel tension between how reality used to be and how reality is.

Things will get ripped apart, like the spaghettification of objects falling into a black hole.
Would be better if it was replaced by Linux, not by macOS. Though Linux at 2.5% is better than it used to be. But growth is slow.
Negativity (anger, fear, anxiety, etc...) has a way of getting you to cling onto it in an incredibly insidious way. It's hard because usually you don't notice it until you've already started spreading it to others.

Let that shit go immediately, once you become aware. And if at all possible, spend time working to develop mindfulness (a meditation/introspection practice is very helpful).

They would have had it if the regulation wasn't put into place.

Is regulation created today different than regulation created in 1950 for some reason?

Like sure, it's worth accounting for the 1950 regulation apparently working well enough to keep when you look at it, but you are arguing that further restrictions are self evidently bad and existing regulations are (apparently anyway) self evidently fine.

" it's literally like playing a movie in reverse" seems overly authoritative for something we haven't observed. I have seen Tenet, but it's a work of fiction.

Have we observed reflected gravitational waves? In reverse-time, where would they originate from if they presumably rippled out into space and didn't collide with anything in forward-time?

In today’s competitive market, it is more important than ever for brands to stand out. An effective way to do this is through a simple brand commercial. Brand commercials are important for engaging customers and communicating the unique benefits of a product or service. Companies of all sizes can capitalize on the power of simplicity when it comes to brand commercials, as they have the potential to increase engagement and drive sales.

I can confirm this. I have two kids under 4 along with several nieces and nephews. Kids are unbelievably messy when they first learn to eat. Food ends up in places you never thought imaginable. Mealtimes always involve a "blast radius" of food products spilled / smeared / dropped / thrown / regurgitated.
I don't see how an unmoderated, anarchic space like 4chan is close to what I described; the entire point of what I had in mind is a very specific kind of moderation: stories are only published if (a) they're reasonably likely to materially affect some significant portion of readers sometime in the next 6 months, and (b) there's something they can do about it or in response to it.

For example, if the readership of this news service was entirely US-based, then it would only publish a single article on the Ukraine war---when it started---and then might only ever mention it again if it has a direct practical effect on US residents, like travel restrictions.
>Additionally, even if I concede it is an argument solely on authority, just because an argument contains a fallacious point doesn't make it untrue

Notice how you also conveniently sidestepped my arguments about why it's also untrue (on top of containing a falacious point).

Often those require server RAMs.
the next evolution of course will be the transition of professional software to run on web-assembly, then people can finally be free of microsoft's tyranny.

If you're running some closed source code from a SaaS application in wasm, you're not free of anybody's tyranny.

The advantage of Microsoft is actually a widely compatible ecosystem. There might be vendor lock-in, but it was always collective vendor lock in, so at least it was easy to exchange stuff. If everyone is using some different incompatible SaaS, we're going to experience all the downside and non of the upside.
Is this just Epic Games looking at Godot like "hmmm yeah, definitely not even close to being a threat to UE" hah. I suppose they're right, with how buggy 4.0 still is.
> 25% vs neighbors with same college degrees

Where in the paper is this stated? As far as I can tell, they treat each "bachelor’s degree-holding workers" as equivalent to each other.

There's no reason to expect that someone with a bachelor's degree in computer science from UCLA would earn the same as someone with a bachelor's degree in child development from Cal State LA.

And do the wage comparisons compare total compensation (including the present value of future pensions), or just current salaries? In my local school district, about 30% of total compensation is pensions (i.e. you need to add 43% to base salary to calculate total cash compensation). Also, teachers don't work for the full year; many earn additional income during the summer break.
It doesn't appear to be filtered in a significant way.

While toying with the 30B model, it suddenly started to steer a chat about a math problem into quite a sexual direction, with very explicit language.

I'll shortly be switching jobs and one of the things I look forward to most is getting a Mac so I can finally use a real terminal and something that isn't so buggy.

I'm also excited about a usable and easy to learn systems language that can compile to a binary (swift).
We are getting closer at using real-world interaction as part of training, or we're getting closer at having simulation match the real-world?

I could consider moving to a windows laptop if the quality/performance of their laptops was anywhere close to apple.

I don't even use an iphone or have any other apple products but the hardware is just _that_ good! The M1 totally changed how I could use my laptop and windows has to at least match it's efficiency, not to mention that the unibody chassis of macs is extremely durable and I no concerns traveling with it without using a case or sleeve of any kind.

In these "it's like taking a video of throwing a ball in the air and allowing it to land on the ground, then playing it in reverse" examples, I can't help but think of Newton's first law. If an object at rest stays at rest, how does the ball leap from the ground? Where does the impulse come from? Reverse time seems too far fetched for me, or at least the simplified naïve version of it does.

There are a lot of relgulatory challenges, like AB5 itself, and prior court rulings (e.g. microsoft IIRC).

Most companies are scared of the legal liability of hiring willing contractors.

Actual contractors practically dont exist as a result. Most contractors you see in tech are actually empoyees of a 2nd firm, which takes 50% of the paycheck to shield the tech company from liability.

My company is extremely picky about who they will engage with for actual contrating. They must have a demonstrated contracting work history, and get no more than 1/3 of their annual income from the contract. This is all to prevent worker misclassification lawsuit.
In general. This does not mean that it could not be proven for most or even all relevant cases.
The point is to avoid the need to "program routes" or "determine current room". The LLM is supposed to have the world-understanding that removes the need to manually specify what to do.
