I've found ChatGPT useful for coming up with ideas and possible solutions. Left to its own devices, however, it would fail to do anything meaningful in its current state. It just gets things wrong too often, or at least, requires constant supervision to head in the right direction.

The more input is required from ChatGPT, the greater the likelihood that it will break something.
No, I took issue with "can lead to".

This is insightful because in my degree those classes were mandatory as part of a three year degree.

To answer your question: we don't. I have no expectation around this. Primarily asking for my own curiosity in terms of differences in CS degrees.
I watched this whole video, (except the front bit). At the risk of being flamed, the audience came off as being incredibly rude. Perhaps this is par for the course with this crowd; if so, I am glad that I am not one of them.
I've come to the personal conclusion that "I" am the sum of my memories. The physical parts that make me up are no more "me" than the clothes on that body. Whatever system contains my memories and makes computation based on those memories, whether a brain, computer, or something else, is "me" enough.
One of the weaknesses with Jaccard similarity is how it focuses on matches/true positives. It neglects the importance of "negative space."

I was happy to see Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC) used in the recent "1st and Future - Player Contact Detection" Kaggle competition. MCC balances the eight confusion matrix ratios, and I've gotten excellent results when using it in the past.

Bingo. I personally hate spiders, I find them repugnant. But I love the idea of spiders and I hate flies and wasps orders of magnitude more. A spider will never go for my food while it's on my plate. That's why I never kill spiders. I often run into the little guys in my garage or outside my window and I always think it's because I was too fast and they didn't get a change to GTFO.

It's more of a latency thing, though modern codecs should be able to move past that restriction. Most HFP devices still drop into mid '90s mode for call audio.
Oh you're upset about the testing fish. Agree, that's crazy, we should all be up in arms about the unnecessary fish testing!

> They don’t want to prevent the adoption of new tools, they want to stop their personal creative work being appropriated without compensation or permission to make those tools.

I think the arguments in this thread for why this is important, by supporters of it, indicate this is wrong. Yes, directly, this aims at preventing style fine-tunes from work of the artist who uses it (even though styles have never been proprietary.) But if you look at the arguments about why this is significant, its not anything connected to the copying of individual styles, but to the way the explosion of capacity of AI art generators is transforming the market. That’s the target. Even if a magic shield protecting every work that the creator wanted to protect from this day forward against style fine tunes (or AI training more generally) wouldn’t deflect that trend even a tiny bit – which it wouldn’t, IMO – that’s what this is aimed at sociologically.

If you follow or engage with me, you will probably feel some 'toxicity'. I like to argue with people and see argument as a productive way to enhance understanding.

I've got some years in China. I speak Chinese, I'm eating a jianbing[1] as I write this. Didn't leave during the three years of zero covid. Reopening has changed everything about daily life in the best way.

But I'm also looking for a way out. For the reasons outlined in the article, yes, and others. General sentiment toward foreigners has rebounded a bit since the early days of the pandemic, but it's pretty clear that the government would like all the Americans, Canadians and Brits to kindly GTFO. And everyone else seems to be leaving: I lost about half my friends in the last two years.

My (privileged) problem is that I can't stomach the idea of moving back to the US. I moved here because I wanted to do something different with my life; the idea of living in the US again makes me feel like life would be over. Friends are moving to Singapore, Bangkok, Bali, Berlin, so I'll likely end up following them. Five years ago HK or Taipei might've been good options, but not these days.

> But I do think that most people will be worse after dust settles.

There are two sides to this in my opinion. In Denmark we need nurses, teachers, pedagogues and "trades people"/"craftsmen" (I'm sorry but I'm unsure what the world for electricians/plumbers and so on is in English). If AI were to replace a lot of what is essentially looking up rules, copy pasting data from one system to another while auditing, and so on, then we'd actually be capable of building a better society than we have now.

The other side is the distribution of wealth, which is going to be a political question. I'm not too worried about us here in Europe, but maybe that's naive.

> Most people who first used electricity thought it as fancy gas lights.

I've worked with digitalisation for one and a half decade. We even run our own language models for document recognition and classification so our employees don't have to read through 300-1000 page long contracts in different languages.

I have a fair idea what AI is supposed to be, but I'm just not seeing it in the most recent hype wave. Maybe in the next one?
I think this is a concern not just for Copilot but for LLMs in general. It's only a matter of time before they get monetized, intentionally (sponsored results) or unintentionally (SEO spam). LLMO might be the next SEO.

By "slums" i simply meant "districts where affordable housing abounds and kind of people who needs affordable housing, predominantly lives"... Which also means, others will quickly leave those areas because they will become unsafe and undesirable.
> That's not really how the prompts work. Or how chat gpt works... There's not a clear seperation between the instructions or input

In examples like "Translate the following text between braces to French: {<some text>}", ChatGPT can clearly seperate between the two. For the present use case, you could simply strip any braces from the LinkedIn profile, so no need to worry about escaping.

> Really they could/should change the sql spec to just require ? for all values

Nope, because SQL query plans are generated and cached for the non-? (non-variable) parts, hence you need/want the ability to specify constants, since some query plan optimizations are based on that. You want to distinguish between which values are variable vs. constant in your application.
After giving this some more thought I think you’re right. I would even broaden your definition to include using authorized access in ways that weren’t originally intended by the computer system’s designers.

I was trying to distinguish between breaches that result from intentional exploitation (malicious or otherwise) and breaches that result from negligence. Having thought about it a bit more, these things are not actually mutually exclusive. Many intentional exploitations take advantage of dumb mistakes (e.g. posting credentials in a public repo).

As such, I take back my earlier disagreement: this is a valid use of the word “hack”.
I was on acid, being driven by a friend in a car at night, and I saw the car ahead of us drive off the side of the road.

It didn't happen.

It was basically a daydream - I was just thinking to myself, "I hope that car doesn't crash", then zoned out and literally saw it happen with my eyes open. I watched the tail lights drive off the edge.

Afterwards I zoned back in and the car ahead of us was back.

That is the only time I've ever seen anything that wasn't actually there except patterns and "breathing". I haven't ever taken anything near a heroic dose though.
> Women would participate co-operatively with men in both the social labor of sex and of child-rearing, and their would be no need for the strict delineations which create the social contradictions we have today.

I don't even know what that means. People are forced to have sex and rear children?

Statistically, the majority of the world’s fiat IS trash. Most of the world’s currencies are not worth holding at all.

You just happen to be born in a country that doesn’t have trash fiat - yet.

But if you were born in Pakistan, Lebanon, Argentina, or even Turkey, you’d probably say that your fiat was trash.

That sounds like a very specific hypothetical future risk. That's a logical outcome in a vacuum, but companies have managed large cash and near-cash positions for a long time without services like you describe. I think your "slippery slope" argument is a fantasy.

But if it weren't, and if it were a problem for the FDIC, which I don't think is established, then the FDIC can just change the definition of what's covered a bit. It's not a hard fix for them to say that they won't cover more than $x per beneficiary total.
“Don't Be Evil”: The letter Google employees sent to Pichai about mass layoffs
I didn't say it was anything to do with being "Morally weak".

And you didn't see a "many different responses" -- you saw 1: Lockdowns. The whole world did them. Where they didn't do them, hospitals got trashed and lots of people died.

Lockdowns ended when vaccines began, China never got that option, because its population didn't take up any of the vaccines to a high enough percentage. Also, there was never enough mRNA vaccines available to supply the whole world + china, until recently (maybe still not even now).

It 100% was as binary as I present it. Italy, UK, Canada, US, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea... the list goes on: They all did lockdowns to some degree to slow spread, and help their hospitals. It had nothing to do with culture or politics... except in the US.
A lot of the comments opine that these are not fundamentals and they are right.

My impression is that the philosophy of CS curriculum at most places is to keep the barrier of entry low. That's why bootcamps are a thing, and my fellow CS grads are excited about ChatGPT being able to write code. On the other hand, there is a growing shortage of electrical engineers because the level of gatekeeping is too high.

I am an electrical engineer myself and I have working knowledge of all the things you mentioned.
Alan Watts said it best.

“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”

Happiness is the gap between expectations and reality. This is why Julius Caesar considered himself a bit of a failure - because he compared himself to Alexander the Great. If you frame yourself on the grand scale of the universe as we know it now, that is a heavy weight to bear.

But you can flip this, you may be a mere speck of dust on the wind of cosmic time but how amazing is that!?

The is magic to be enjoyed in the simple things, be it the passing of the clouds or the vista of the night sky. The moon, that is a far out thing to be able to see that. Yes, despite this there is a sense of mourning for the fleeting nature of life but it doesn't matter how much one worries about that - it will not grant you a single second extra in this world. Just enjoy it.

Here is some additional things I will add to this, just some notes I have been working on for a few years. I add to this list as I think of them - about 1 every week or two. I'm not saying that will solve anything but they may help just a little.

No currencies are worth holding (lending at interest isn’t holding.) Holding isn’t what currency is for.
This is one of the reasons for the schizophrenic posture of Bitcoin maxi's toward government adoption - thus Central Bank adoption - of Bitcoin as legal tender, a la El salvador. I mean apart from the fact that this happening on a global scale would make them stupendously wealthy. But from a pragmatic standpoint, they also know that one advantage Bitcoin does not have, that fiat does, is an armed gang with orders to enforce its use by all citizens. Yet.

The short version is that we have to moderate HN according to the intended use of the site. I don't think your political interpretation is accurate (I think you're overestimating the influence and value of this place) but even if I'm wrong and you're right, we can't change how we moderate because of that. If we did, this place would soon cease to exist for its intended purpose (curious conversation on topics of intellectual interest) and then its influence and value would rapidly decline anyhow.
Your evidence:

* The Fire appears to be an advocacy organization for one side o that debate, not a credible source of news.

* What is wrong with removing the rock? What do you know about it? I read a couple articles, including the CNN article, and nobody seems to dispute its racist symbolism. The campus administration supported its removal and the students who raised the issue. What do you know better? And who was censored or otherwise harmed by its removal?

Internal Memo from UBS CEO on Credit Suisse Takeover
How much time do USAF pilots actually spend at altitude? Commercial pilots I've talked to say it's generally well-known that military pilots don't have many flight hours. If you want to study pilots with the most high-altitude flight hours, just look at the pilots for big commercial airlines. Military aircraft are expensive per flight-hour so they don't fly them more than they really need to; commercial aircraft are losing money when they're not in the air, by contrast.

a-d) are all wrong. Without defending Putin who deserves to burn in hell for what he's done:

a) wasn't a good idea: pretty much everyone thought Russia would win and could not fathom the incompetence of the Russian armed forces. It's possible that even with it's incompetence, if they had successfully taken Kyiv in the early days they would have won.

b) if Russia holds on to arguably outdated concept of geopolitical strategy, it's easy to see why it's in their best interest. Demographically, Russia is in decline and so they had at most 5-10 years to expand out to defensible geographies -- close up to the bessarabian gap and border to the Carpathian mountains.

c) it's not entirely clear even now that the Russian economy is going to collapse. Remember, Russia is a producer nation. It will (relatively) suck as modern shit starts breaking but Russia is barely starting to deficit now. While economic sanctions do have an effect, if the government falls I think deaths of young Russian men (esp if they are forced to meat grind muscovites and st. Petersburgians instead of just ethnic minorities from the hinterlands) is more likely to play into that sentiment than prices going up at tasty period (McDonald's).

d) a large part of the Russian polity wants this, not just Putin.
I would love to know more about what you mean by 'archlinux shit the bed'. If you dont remember the exact error code, any text from the error screen, or even vague description is fine.

I believe that spending 15mins on the arch forums or IRC would probably result in somebody helping you out with the right pacman incantation. YMMV, my personal experience.

Friend,

I'm well aware of Rawls' broader position, and I in fact hold an MA in phil with a concentration on Rawls.

Nothing you have said seems to interact with what I've said, other than to suggest, erroneously, that understanding was lacking.

Rawls does indeed suggest that "a key role of political institutions should be to maximize the self-respect of the individual", as you perfectly put it.

We are about to lose the sociopolitical institution that undergirds a huge amount of individual self-respect, namely, economic merit. If we had good sense, we'd stop right here.

(Anticipating the obvious: yes, the market for talent is a sociopolitical institution; if you need more on this, I'm happy to keep talking.)

Speaking of philosophical principles, I'm a big fan of 'the Principle of Charity' -- that one make an effort to parse text in a way that attributes as much wisdom and thoughtfulness to the interlocutor as possible. These days, it's often called 'giving a steelman' of your opponent (a riff on straw man, I would suppose.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity

Regardless of what you prefer to call it: Might I suggest that you re-invest in the Principle of Charity? It would make our conversation more interesting. (This is its usual function.)
Are you excited to be writing lots of detailed specs? Especially in a startup, that seems terrible to me. When I've done startups, one of the best things for me about them was close collaboration with the product/design side of the house. Detailed specs would have slowed that down significantly for us.
> Amazon has always been terrible at attracting, and particularly retaining talent.

Could not agree more. It appears the culture is quite toxic, in addition to the lower-tier pay. Not to many people ever leave Amazon saying "wow, most fun ever" like they do at places like Google. Even when layoffs were happening, ex-Googlers were consistently expressing sorrow over losing a team they really enjoying working with. Not so for Amazon. Instead it's chants of "never again."
Your mirroring fails precisely because it's a password, and it's pretty common to set minimum requirements, so you can't have 4 digit pin

Similarly with your first point - I don't think the master password has many special symbols, I'm just asking a question that illustrates the issue with the original faulty assumption
If you're using it in the default chat UI, you aren't getting exposed to 1/10th of what it can do.

Even the playground is a step up because you can modify conversations in-place, change temperature (which influences how often it needs supervision), various penalties, etc.

For example, if you want it to generate creative text, but need it in JSON, you can give it an instruction with temperature set to the max (which biases it towards novel output).

Then follow up with asking it to transform that output to match json schema with temperature 0 (which biases it towards plainly following instructions)

And there's an edit model too now, so in my previous example you can also leave the temperature maxed out, probably get some mistakes, and feed that to the edit model telling it to fix the mistakes

-

The API is another step up because it makes it easy to chain different conversations. Often times you get a much better result by running different prompts for each step of a process, and in the web UI that'd be a nightmare.
