i did not imply it's intelligent. it merely did what i asked it to do. my question was: did it say anything wrong? i also asked it to provide the math for it:

Let's consider a few elements of the HMOS model:

Oscillatory nature of particles: Each particle has a unique vibrational frequency (f_i) and amplitude (A_i).

Frequency-based particle interactions: Particles interact based on the compatibility of their frequencies, forming resonant (R) or dissonant (D) relationships.

Formation of larger-scale oscillatory networks: Resonant interactions lead to the formation of larger-scale networks (N_k), where k is an index representing different scales.

Given these elements, we could define a simple mathematical representation for the HMOS model as follows:

Define the oscillatory behavior of each particle i as a sinusoidal function:

O_i(t) = A_i * sin(2 * π * f_i * t + φ_i)

where t is time, and φ_i is the phase of the particle's oscillation.

Define a function to represent the interaction between particles i and j:

I_ij = R_ij - D_ij

where R_ij and D_ij represent the resonant and dissonant interactions between particles i and j, respectively.

Define a function to represent the formation of larger-scale oscillatory networks:

N_k = Σ_ij I_ij(w_k)

where w_k is a weight factor representing the contribution of each interaction I_ij to the formation of network N_k.

I don't disagree, but there's a lot of collective brainwashing that goes on in tech, and people young in their careers cannot be fully blamed for buying into it.

Nearly every tech job I've had has constantly reinforced that what we're doing is fundamentally saving the world; either by being more progressive than <industry X>, or by working on a solution to something that coincidentally also happens to be the cause of all of life's problems.

It’s a skill you have to exercise no matter where you keep contact information. Same deal with outsourcing directions to GPS-using maps apps: you can still maintain a basic sense of direction and how to navigate a city without an app as long as you make it a point to do so.
My thought of what "emergent behavior" is, isn't that it is necessarily "unintended", but rather that it isn't really present in the small scale stuff, and isn't an obvious consequence of the small scale stuff? Like, a qualitative difference between the base level stuff, and the consequences when it all fits together.

Like, if God intended for the universe to have something which acts like water, when designing subatomic physics, that doesn't make the behavior of water "not emergent behavior".

An example of a variant on this, when my wife and I started the journey to adopt in our State (NJ), we were required to give permission to speak to our doctors, and they went through everything.

That's not how it works. Russia isn't party to the ICC. Lets see which is more likely. Russia arrests the members of ICC or the ICC arresting putin.

There's the "it" which has no post-processing, and there's the "it" where the output is post-processed to announce a resignation when it attempts an illegal move.

Some things about the two "it"s:

- They differ trivially.

- They enable new capabilities, such as the ability to explain why a move got made. Current chess AIs are not good at this.

So I think you're making too much of a big deal from a comparative triviality.

You haven't said anything about other emotions, so I've got to ask: do you let yourself feel anything? Not just joy, but sadness, disappointment, anger, or even outright hatred? Or are you so out of touch with your emotions (as many men are taught to be) that you've forgotten how to feel?

If so, I'd start by finding a way to reclaim your emotions. You have the right to feel everything, positive and negative alike. To start with, here's an exercise. I want to you read my post and shout, "Hey, TheMoonToMyLeft, GO FUCK YOURSELF!". I want you to get angry, if you can. I want you to feel it, and act out that feeling.

If you can't even do that much, then you're in a deeper hole than you suspect and you need to call your local suicide prevention hotline ASAP.

Also, you need to start listening to heavy metal. Go fire up Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath.

The author said ChatGPT gives illegal moves. So, a quirky sort of 'grandmaster'. He considered illegal moves to be a resignation. Maybe you need to tell ChatGPT that the alternatives are to win via legal moves, and if it is not possible to do so, to resign? Does that fix it?
As much as I loathe the current system, it is also true that treating drivers as full time employees is unsustainable for a company not even making a profit. Probably better for such opportunities in a gig economy to exist than not exist, but with how unsustainable the business is in general I can see it all collapsing at some point either way. How long can a company go without ever generating a profit?
Ah so I guess it’s best to crush humans rather than have the business fail. Maybe we should, I don’t know, ensure there’s no need for these body and soul crushing labor for cheap? Support mass transit so you don’t need Uber, support those out of work so they don’t need Uber, and support the handicapped with local transit pickups friendly to them so they don’t need Uber. Then only the investors need Uber and they can make the business work or they can fail and it won’t become a massive crutch for our shit “free market” economy.
We may not be able to observed it, and maybe can’t. Just like time slowing down would be imperceptible to the person on the spaceship nearing light speed. It takes the mathematics

Or if I’m lucky enough to have the time to watch the moon move slowly, it feels natural to my senses to say it’s moving across the sky. The moon feels like it’s moving around me. But I can stretch my brain and imagine the reality.

Sometimes math arrives first. We have the new maths (or an problem in current math), and that points to some possibility. Because it’s not observable, ignoring our senses is a requirement to develop that in the model and measurements and experiments. Eventually we are able to observe it.

I’m not familiar with history of astronomy. Would it be the case where the observations that lead to heliocentric thought we nuanced and had to build on more obvious perceptions that things aren’t adding up? Was the wobble of Venus part of that?

And you’re right, old models are useful and remain relevant a lot! The model of time moving linearly will likely always be the most useful model for navigating our daily choices (if we have any at all!)
I'll add in as someone new to chess (~800 ELO):

ChatGPT is in no way 1400, or even close to it. The fact this article gets upvoted around here is proof that people aren't thinking clearly about this stuff. It's trivially easy to prove it wrong. Live unbelievably so, I tried the same prompt and within 12 moves it made multiple ridiculous errors I never would, and then an illegal move.

Keep in mind a 1400 level player would need to basically make 0 mistakes that bad in a typical game, and further would need to play 30-50 moves in that fashion, with the final moves being some of the most important and hard to do. There's just no way it's even close, my guess would be even if you correct it's many errors, it's something like ~200 ELO. Pure FUD.

The author of this article is cashing in the hype and I'm wondering how they even got the results they did.

This is a hook version of the same code as near as I could guess it.

function useViewport(initialValue) {
const [state, setState] = useState(initialValue);
useEffect(() => {
return watchViewport((x, y) => setState(x + y))
}, [])
return state.get();
}

// usage

function MyComponent() {
const viewportSize = useViewport()
// use in render
}

I made a couple of assumptions here. From usage, I assume watchViewport is supposed to both subscribe and return a teardown function. I also assume that the viewportState.set/get are functions for getting and setting the tracked value in the component's state.

In my opinion, there are many advantages to the hook version and several major disadvantages to the class version:

1. There's no need for hooks to have a value method or React.Components to grow the use or addState methods because the hook is just a function call which returns a value. How it produces that value is up to the code inside the function--which does call out to React--but the fact the function will always be called when MyComponent is called (absent something throwing earlier in the function body of course). The value you see being returned by the hook will always match the value you get when you call useViewport() in your component. These two things are guaranteed to have the exact same behavior as any other JavaScript function call and thus you can reason about the "registration" and value passing without needing to learn any framework-specific APIs.

2. There's no need for an addOnUnmount method on the component object passed to the ViewportHook constructor, because the hook function can use the function component's equivalent to componentWillUnmount (the return value of a useEffect) in the exact same way as a function component can, but without need for external registration.

3. In order to implement the class API, you'd need to either (A) pass the component's actual instance to the hook, or (B) create a new type of value to represent the instance of the component the hook is registering against. Option (B) is yet another API to learn, as you have to learn a new type of object to deal with in a React application. Option (A) would mean figuring out a way to prevent people from calling those methods after construction, OR introducing the possibility of registering a new slice of state partway through. The latter might be possible, and maybe that's even what you intend, but I'd want to know what the expected impact on methods like shouldComponentUpdate or getDerivedStateFromProps would be. Speaking of those...

4. I can't think of any obvious way you could pass previous versions of hook-related instance properties to lifecycle methods in the same way that you can pass prevProps and prevState.

5. Concision: the hook version has a dramatic reduction in the amount of code you have to read

6. Bundle size: because the hook version relies on functions rather than class properties, it can be minified trivially and thus reduce bundle size even more than the obvious reduction in character count would imply

Not only that, but also there needs to be a good match between therapist and patient. A therapist may be the best ever with one patient, and terrible with another, depending on the personalities involved.

I think when someone is seeking therapy, they should be prepared to have to try out a few different ones before finding the right one for them.

> the reason people indoctrinate isn't because they want them to be negative, but to realize that being pessimistic is actually going to be a more reliable way to have a plan for life when no one is able to help

I take it you are a conservative. This is a perennial city people (liberal) versus rural folk (conservative) discussion that will never have a resolution.

Liberals generally don’t believe in the idea that "no one is able to help" because they live in larger urban populations that see the government as beneficial.

Conservatives tended to live in more rural areas where there weren’t as many people to help them, and they couldn’t depend on the government.
Who is being crushed? The drivers signed up for this. They could also get other jobs or collect unemployment. The people who decide that this work is better than doing that should be respected for their choices and we shouldn't try to take their incomes away by killing the companies they work for.

To put it simply, taking peoples' income away by killing their employers does not help them; it hurts them.

The traditional process is building a high-poly mesh and a low-poly mesh by hand, and using your 3DCG tool to bake from one onto the other. For instance, in Maya, this is done using the "Transfer Maps" tool [0]. The high-poly mesh can come from a tool like Z-Brush.

For various productions reasons, we want to build the low-poly mesh by hand. Managing topology is key to maintain a good deformation, and you as the artist probably know all the areas that will need more vertex density. As things make their way down the rigging/animation pipeline, automated tools really just don't cut it.

The difference is that thanks to court documents, we know the truth in this case, and we know that they knew the truth even while lying.

What you are describing is not true, and any and all court documents do and would demonstrate that. Whether you are aware of the truth or not isn't clear to me, so I don't know whether you are knowingly lying, like the Fox News hosts in this case, or ignorantly spreading false information.
Here's hoping this encourages some online newspapers/periodicals to start releasing their digital editions as native EPUBs.

I get that it is trying to be contrarian to the popular book with a similar title.

I just fundamentally disagree. You need to vent sometimes, you need to get it out of your head and into the world. You need someone to lend an ear here and there. You can’t talk about certain repressed emotions with certain people either.

The trend seems to show we are more “connected” but more lonely than ever. How many people who frequent HN for example have someone they talk to about their life’s problems frequently? How many of those people want to be the person that only hear you venting without feeling used?

Therapists serve a wonderful purpose. Little strings attached, you can vent to someone and get feedback. Don't like them? Find a new one just like you would a friend or family member who doesn’t want to listen.

If America valued communities like they did many decades ago, we wouldn’t need as much mental health support because we would already be getting it. But therapy is a tool to be used and many do not ever utilize it. To generalize like this article is trying to do is a shame. There’s plenty of therapists that help people see the bottlenecks in their lives to then fix and become happier and no longer need it.

I will 100% agree with the idea of stress to strength. Pavlov famously did experiments late in life on breaking dogs down with enough stress only to reverse the effects with enough stress.

> “[Pavlov] spent the rest of his long life giving stress-induced nervous breakdowns to dogs, after which he would try to reverse the breakdowns, all the while keeping careful experimental records.

> “He found (1) that he could classify dogs so as to predict how easily a particular dog would breakdown; (2) that the dogs hardest to break down were also the hardest to return to their pre-breakdown state; (3) that any dog could be broken down; and (4) that he couldn’t reverse a breakdown except by reimposing stress.”

Oh and the most common way to resolve said issues? A relatedness or connectedness to something.

For me it has done a couple of things. I do have to say though. I write like a couple blog posts a year or longer inbetween. Ive only recently starting doing more frequent posts.

1. It lets me experiment with web tech. I redo my website every few years. Be it JS, CSS, static generated sites, etc. I usually find a theme I like and start modifying it to see how things work nowadays. Most recent attempt is to use that with a Golang and go:embed to make a self-contained blog in a binary.

2. Sometimes I just want to share knowledge or info. Might not be perfect, but its fun to get it out of my head instead of letting it stew. If it helps 1 person figure something out, it is a win. I recently had a coworker find my blog post on setting up Stable Diffusion on AMD through Hacker News by accident. He used it as a reference to get his own stuff working for a less than perfect setup.

3. I once posted one of my posts on here. It surprisingly went well, and had some good discussion on it. So that is fun. But I am of the mindset that I don't want to post my own articles (as their own HN posts, I am fine with linking to things in comments on occasion). They should show up on HN naturally if they are useful to someone enough to get posted. I also fear them getting ripped to shreds (probably some form of imposter syndrome) by HN readers.
