For that specific issue, you don't need the source code, you need the dealer diagnostic/programming toolkit. Hyundai GDS, BMW ISTA, each manufacturer has their own but I believe they're mostly reskinned and customized 3rd party products (I think Mazda & Ford have a shared toolkit).

These give you everything from the service manual (detailed info on how to do any repair operation, with steps and photos), diagnostic code scanning and guided troubleshooters, and access to the car's electronics for putting ECUs into service mode (like the electronic parking brake) or reprogramming them with updated firmware (which is complicated and you probably don't need to do it). The service steps will interface with the car's ECUs - if you need to change the transmission fluid, the software will prepare the transmission, help you get it up to temperature and maintain that temperature, and then reset the calibration of the transmission at the end. And it'll show the technician each mechanical step they have to do along the way. Very advanced stuff.

You can generally get this software a normal person, but it's a expensive subscription:

https://hyundaitechinfo.com/
https://bmwtechinfo.bmwgroup.com/

You can usually find cracked versions online, but recently they've been getting more and more locked down.

As for your battery replacement thing, there are 3rd party phone apps which can do it. You'll just need a compatible OBD adapter. I don't know what it is for VW, but for BMW BimmerLink gives you diagnostic info and lets you reset the battery, and BimmerCode lets you change some config options in the car ECUs to enable some useful small QoL features. I'm sure there is similar software for VAG cars.
There is a XKCD for everything.

hmm, is there XKCD for "might refer you to XKCD $number" ?

Uh that's an accounting change iirc - they included some category worth 10 trn in M1 on that cut-over day, 10 trn/day slope is not an actual change in money supply.

Edit:

> Before May 2020, M1 consists of ... (3) other checkable deposits (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal, or NOW, and automatic transfer service, or ATS, accounts at depository institutions, share draft accounts at credit unions, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.

> Beginning May 2020, M1 consists of ... (3) other liquid deposits, consisting of OCDs and savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts).

> Seasonally adjusted M1 is constructed by summing currency, demand deposits, and OCDs (before May 2020) or other liquid deposits (beginning May 2020), each seasonally adjusted separately.

This means the balance of all savings accounts was added to M1 beginning may 2020. If you want to look at "money printed", look at M2. AIUI the definition of M2 was not changed that date and you can indeed see some ~2 trn covid stimulus spread out over a few months in M2.
It's pretty impressive how the headlines are always about supply chain constraints and corporate profits but never about money supply.
That index measures the affordability for buyers. If the houses are very affordable for their current owners (due to low rates locked in), what's the mechanism for them to default? Mass unemployment, I suppose. But that doesn't seem causally linked to the affordability index.
Note that this thread will have the same Danning-Kruger level of plausible but wrong info as would a banker forum discussing "do you think ChatGPT will be able to drive cars?".
Once there is AI-powered automated law enforcement to put down any resulting unrest, it's over. There will be no going back from the class divide at that point.

Nice work! This was very engaging. I could tell there was a human hand at work, though it’s extra spooky not knowing just how much has come from the machine.

Not even a little. Read the notes, they significantly changed what they were measuring in 2020. It added savings accounts and money market accounts in 2020.
Duo or oligopolies would be nice to have. We have monopolies, at the owner layer. That they own several buisnesses in the same sector, to placate monopoly regulations, does not reduce the lack of competition.

Im continously suprised that people, by assumption of brands and company names assume we still have duopolies or oligopolies.

You can own a whole industry sector without mergers and funny make pretend competition. The competition may hold true for software, because its such a young sector, but for everything else...

Based on https://www.bhtp.com/blog/safest-places-to-travel:

Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection has a long history of asking travelers where they’re going, why they’re traveling, and what constitutes a safe destination to them. We conducted our first traveler research in 2016 and have been doing studies ever since.

In our survey, we ask people where they’ve traveled in the last five years, and only the people who have visited specific countries are allowed to rate those countries on safety.
I like the idea. I am surprised by the negative comments. Getting a professional headshot is both time-consuming and expensive, so if this service works as promised it definitely will be useful, and I would be willing to pay for it. So why haven't I already signed up? A few things made me nervous:

1. The "contact us" link is broken, which doesn't inspire confidence.

2. It's important to me that you don't leak or retain my data, and while I know you say you don't retain it, I will just have to take that on faith and I'm not sure I'm willing to do that.

3. Your examples include novelty shots like "pharaoh" and "superman" etc. This branding is confusing. If you're targeting people who want professional shots for their LinkedIn etc then why would you offer jokey picture styles?

If you can solve these issues then you can count me in as a customer.
On the bright side it would mean they have invented an amazing compression algorithm, given the model size and amount of text it can produce.
Software licenses and closed-source software are at odds here. In the FOSS community it is easy to tell who borrowed your code and violated your license. Closed source software can choose to rip off everyone and it gets very difficult to enforce your open source license. Almost a rules for thee but not for me scenario that puts open source at a disadvantage.

What would be the point of naming names?

1) A lot of Twitter users are anonymous or have fake names.

2) The story is about the volume of hate, so why would individual names be relevant?

3) Twitter trolls are often seeking attention (Musk himself being a case in point), so naming them just rewards their behavior.
Oh, I'm looking forward to the civil discussion sure to follow in this thread!
> There are no good states involved in any of this. None of them care about the majority of people in any of the involved territories, who would benefit only from peace.

I think the state that invaded is the bad one, after all, they are the ones who solely took action that has resulted in many thousands of Ukrainian civilians, including children dying.

But honestly? your response is just more evidence that peace cannot be had with an agreement, you just unilaterally ignored that Russia promised they would not invade.

So why again should Ukraine trust anything Russia puts in agreement they will throw out whenever its convenient again?.
Ah! That’s brilliant.

Thanks!
Startups Are Already Using GPT-4 to Spend Less on Human Coders
Demand spikes or supply bottlenecks are the normal drivers of price increases. Market and competition doesn't mean "stable prices for all eternity", but "the market is the best tool we currently have to dynamically adjust to a changing environment".

Following your example, a lack of 2x4 has to drive timber prices up, so the scarce resource is used where is most needed: to the people who is paying the higher prices. If that people is wrong in their predictions, they will suffer the consequences. The market dynamics should 1) allocate the current available 2x4 where they are more needed, 2) accelerate the production of 2x4 that previously were non profitable (e.g. remote forests) and 3) explore possible substitutes previously non profitable.

But when you study inflation history, you notice it's always blamed on the business raising prices. With an ideal fixed amount of money in circulation, a spike in timber prices is only possible if other prices fall. If prices are increasing everywhere, someone is playing foul with money. Sometimes and for short periods it can happen a credit expansion or crunch (imagine people hoarding or spending gold thus varying the amount of money in circulation), but that won't extend for long unless someone is minting gold coins with some cooper in them.
I have some basic ideas that I have implemented in multiple languages. I think of them as "Rosetta Stone" projects:

- Bowling score - More of an exercise than a project.

- Sudoku solver - Also an exercise, but could be more with a UI.

- "Setting Sun" tile puzzle with UI. Saw one of these at a Cracker Barrel restaurant (https://www.siammandalay.com/products/setting-sun)

- Wordle with UI - I've only done one in Rust/WASM, but might do one in Dart/Flutter.

Imagine if we just had a land value tax to replace all other taxes. Can't dodge that particular tax, unless someone is able to hide a piece of land from being seen.

> I reckon we could fund universal basic income just from whitening the economy, in any given country.

I reckon that no economy, no matter how advanced, is so productive that you can provide a systemic incentive for everyone to not produce anything yet still be guaranteed to be supported. Will some work even when they don't have to? Sure. Will more people not work than before? Almost definitely. Will this effect compound over time and topple the system sooner rather than later? Guaranteed.
That's true, but post-2020, the money supply went up 25% in the span of 20 months.

For some applications, yes, but it comes at the cost of not knowing how powerful ChatGPT really is. So the claim from OpenAI that ChatGPT 4 can pass the bar exam are deceptive since it will likely fail any future bar exam.

> Hey bot can you call so and so find out when x is happening.

Why would “so and so” be willing to talk to your bot? Chances are they won’t get “so and so”, but so and so’s bot on the line.

With the current state of the art, that bot, guided by the question “when will x happen”, may make up that it will happen and make up a date and time, even though it was cancelled last week. Next, your bot might inform the bots of a few friends that the thing is on, book a flight for you to go there, etc.

That won’t always happen, of course, but even if it’s a 1:10,000 chance, I wouldn’t take it, as it could be a costly mishap.

>Peak HN comment right here.

Where do you think we are?

>this is absolutely an "advanced algorithm."

When someone puts that on his product's page, it's assumed that he developed said algorithm, or at least had a hand in it. Instead, here the real product is the pipeline and not the "algorithm". The product would do better if it was honest about what it did.

And like I mentioned, Dreambooth is pretty "old" now. The service could probably be much cheaper if the OP moved to using LORAs, and it would give better results, because it wouldn't clash with the tokens in the underlying model, and could be used with any model.

I'd also add that the almost all standardized tests are designed for introductory material across millions of people. That kind of information is likely to be highly represented in the training corpus. Whereas most jobs require highly specialized domain knowledge that's probably not well represented in the corpus, and probably too expansive to fit into the context window.

Therefore standardized tests are probably "easy mode" for GPT, and we shouldn't over-generalize its performance there to its ability to actually add economic value in actually economically useful jobs. Fine-tuning is maybe a possibility, but its expensive and fragile, and I don't think its likely that every single job is going to get a fine-tuned version of GPT.
I recently had the opportunity to talk marketing OSS with GraphQL Editor's CTO (5.8k GitHub stars).

his key takeaways:

- promote on subreddits related to your technologies and languages;

- promote on Hacker News;

Regulatory capture is the least of the anti-competitive forces running around your typical market. Network effects, two sided markets, vertical and horizontal integration, brand loyalty, M&A, economies of scale, and even the structure of property ownership itself can have major anticompetitive effects. Yes, regulatory capture belongs on the list too -- but as a bit player, not as the prime evil.

Some of these forces are things we want to encourage (economies of scale), some of them we probably have to allow, and some of them are pure emergent evil that we have "collectively" decided not to mitigate.

Deregulation only address one of these forces. It's not a useless idea, but it gets wildly over-promoted by people who A. can't bring themselves to admit that the free market would ever create emergent bad incentives on its own or B. don't want the government to stop them from exploiting said bad incentives.

I’m kind of relieved to know I’m not alone. Got my masters 4 years ago and immediately became a web dev after. I am greatful for the time and I think a lot of the resilience, logical thinking and general problem solving skills transferred well to my current work. Yet some part of me wishes I had stayed and gotten a PhD but I also remember I was overworked and had significantly higher imposter syndrome although my grades indicated that I was doing really well.

To get back on the topic of perturbation theory I remember how the mathematical physicists in our lectures always complained that the systems the professors would use it for were not well suited to use it in the first place but often times the results were kinda nice so they used it anyway. Not that I remember any details but I was so fascinated when I found perturbation theory used again in QFT and it really dawned on my how powerful of a tool it is.
Depending on your definition of REST I guess, what you describe is just saying GraphQL works over HTTP, but I certainly wouldn’t call it RESTful in the slightest.
Great read. Adding a bit more — I think these are hinting at the reasons GPT seems to be getting worse. Our expectations realign after the failure modes become excruciatingly obvious after some use. For instance, asking it about differences in pronunciation between European and Brazilian Portuguese, even GPT-4 gives utter nonsense.

Even after very carefully explaining the kinds of things I am looking for, it will very carefully repeat what I said, then extrapolate into totally misguided tips like “a” is pronounced “i”. Though, I think it does make sense that GPT would have problems with pronunciation.
Sure but how many people will fill their time with these? 5%? 10%? What about the other?

I'd felt the same and decided I actually could not live without it. So I am now 34 and studying for an undergraduate degree in life sciences (just finished the notoriously challenging organic chemistry 1&2) while adding some graduate-level physics classes on top. Really, really refreshing and good experience so far, though I don't know if I have the stomach to try going for a PhD again (would rather become independently wealthy and fund my own research, heh).
Recent advancements in AI research such as the emergence of ToM-like abilities in language models, suggest that we are making progress towards AGI (artificial general intelligence). Emergent abilities are a fascinating aspect of complex systems like LLMs and the development of ToM-like abilities in language models is a remarkable achievement. The ability to understand and attribute mental states to oneself and others has long been considered a uniquely human ability, so the emergence of ToM-like abilities in language models is a significant breakthrough.

The increasing language skills of language models may have led to the emergence of ToM-like abilities, demonstrating the potential for artificial intelligence to possess human-like cognitive abilities.
Falling home prices and default rates are absolutely correlated.

Again, just because we don't yet know the trigger which will cause this doesn't really matter.

Home affordability is mean-reverting and the only way for it to revert is waaay higher incomes or lower home prices. I'll bet on lower home prices.

How many crises do we have to go through before we admit the fed and banks either have no idea what they are doing or they know exactly what they're doing and it's malevolent?

The number of people here defending the system and saying this isn't inflation is mind boggling. Where do you think the money comes from when the government rescues banks? No matter how you slice it, the taxpayer pays through higher fees, higher rates or inflation.

This system of rescuing banks with no prosecution of the people responsible and printing a mountain of money is unsustainable. It's clear that humans will never implement an equitable system and it makes the case for Bitcoin every day...unless you profit from the financial system and then I'm sure you'd be thrilled to kick the can down the road.
